While you ARE technically correct, the alternative in the wild is progressive taxation. That makes flat taxation a de facto regressive tax, as it will be more regressive than the current taxation regime.
Of course you were denied, he has standing to ask for time off (his kid) and you don't. Having children is incredibly important to society at large and it makes sense incentivize it, especially at the expense of people who don't have any yet. When you have kids, you will also have access to these perks.

I would imagine that it makes it worse that they meet their rudest and most entitled fans, through a rigorous process of self-selection.
Great points. However, equally important is the notion of "stability" -- there are large differences in how resilient complex processes can be against external forces.

For humans, this can be both a good thing and a bad thing. E.g. the "anti-fragile" nature of some decentralized endeavors vs. an unstoppable crazed mob during a fever pitch social or political crisis.

My lacking (medium-term?) memory is what motivated me to created this highly efficient personal organizer, which really helps:

I forgot 3, then:

3. Employers assume married men, especially if they have children, are hard workers and responsible
I sincerely hope they are able to synthesize this, and that the synthetic doesn't lose any effectiveness over the natural compound. It sounds like an amazing breakthrough if it works out, as it's much more than a garden-variety antibiotic. FTA:

"It punched holes in the outer membranes of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, it dissolved the biofilms that glue bacteria together, and it sped skin healing."

Getting through the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria alone would make this worth investigating, but the other two added to it are like icing on the life-saving cake.
The number of confounding factors is enormous.

1. The man may be more likely to acquiesce to the wedding if they have a stable income and can support a family.

2. The interested parties on the bride's side may be more interested in pursuing a shotgun wedding if the man has a stable income.

3. The same reasons that lead women to pursue marriage with high-income men may also lead them to pursue pre-marital unprotected sex with those men.

I'm sure you can think of more. This seems like a very suspect way to segment a population.
That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. OF COURSE the Pharmas spend money on product development. They can't expect that for free too!! They already benefit a lot from publicly funded R&D, and contribute very little back in terms of pure science R&D. I work in vaccine automation and lemme tell you, the secret sauce to getting high yield ain't leaving the company.. ever.

>No academic institutions do the development part, where most of the cost is.

Because they got for free all of the decades of scientific research.
Is there a particular reason of getting away from GCP? I am just curious.
How SEO Drove These Startups from the Bottom to the Top
Until you've played in a multi-player VR world with friends you are voice chatting with, you won't understand.

The other day, I played VR disc golf with my buddy who lives on the other side of the globe in a completely different country.

After that, we went into a virtual world sandbox where we essentially played giant legos together and drew and shaped a bunch of stuff. We collaboratively built a rocket ship and then we blew it up. We literally just spent hours together, playing together like kids, even though we are grown up adults. It was a blast.
Yeah, this is so awkward. I don't get why no one has blended a camera into the middle of the screen already.
What is the part of it that appears classist?
I'm sorry, but quite frankly the low-cost estimate is about as Rosy a prediction as one can hope for, and is decoupled from current and past demographic and economic trends.

1) To get to that number the Trustees assume fertility rates will rise to over 2.2, a rate not seen since 1970 which completely goes against the trend of the last 50 years.

2) They continue to assume 1 million migrants a year to the US, despite active legislation seeking to limit migration to half a million a year.

https://www.ssa.gov/oact/TR/2016/2016_Long-Range_Demographic...

All of this is dependent upon a Labor Force Participation Rate not encumbered by automation and a general lack of skills by the populace. Which may not be a problem but the BLS has been underestimating the decline in LFPR in their projections for the last 20 years. We're decades a head of where we should be based on Demographics alone, according to all of their predictions.

Total Solar Eclipse 2017: When, Where and How to See It
Let's read this through the current hysterical liberal lens: unmarried men are unacceptably discriminated! Companies must publish statistics on how they pay married vs unmarried male employees. And they need to train their staff to understand and fight their own bias against unmarried men! The reason for this imbalance can only be outrageous discrimination. Anyone who thinks or suggests otherwise should be silenced.
If this is AR, Palm was multi-touch.
Depends. But if there are rules about keeping it in-country, you should consider storing it not at a storage provider.
Mostly, it is important to keep the data in the EER. So germany is fine. Moving data out of the EU is a big issue, although I have been using B2 but encrypt my data first myself.
It's all about YouTube becoming profitable. It's not about the algorithms or any specific political ideology or any other silly idea. It's cold hard cash that Alphabet wants from YouTube and it's not delivering. So how do they handle that? Especially if the advertisers are the ones funding this? More control over content and more gate keeping are the likely options YouTube's bosses are going to pick. It's just inevitable that Youtube content creators are going to get squeezed harder. I expect YouTube soon to have moderators that will vet any content of channels of a certain size before that channel's owners see a dime. Hell, I expect YouTube to require content creators to fork out a few hundred bucks to be given free license to publish videos on the site eventually. Why? Because showing an ad on a video is a risk and if it doesn't generate enough money or have enough people viewing it then why are they hosting it? We all have to think like this when approaching YouTube and Alphabet with respect to the current and future changes to YouTube.
Yeap. Going to see it in sunnyvale tomorrow! Very excited.
This is shameful and sadly just another example of one of the reasons why so many woman do not come forward.

Also extremely upsetting to see next to nothing about it on twitter. We badger United (rightfully so), but us living and working here in the Bay Area barely seem to even notice things like this. It's our voice that can have the most impact here in at the very least making it difficult for him to keep his job. Without severe consequences people, especially those in power, will continue to abuse.

> Or are you at the point where you'd just as gladly kill animals for food yourself?

If you're not willing to look the animal in the eyes and kill it, you shouldn't be eating it. I'll go one further and say if you haven't actually butchered a cow or chicken, you shouldn't be eating that meat. (I'll say the same about pork, bison, ostrich, snake, rabbit, sheep, etc... too but those are less common)

I grew up on a farm/ranch, I've looked cows in the eyes that I fed daily to fatten them up just for this purpose. I genuinely don't care about it, its a part of life. So for myself that point probably doesn't exist.

You can look at it in two ways philosophically, one, which seems predominant on this forum is that any human inflicted "suffering" is wrong and should be avoided.

One other view, which I think most cattle producers would think philosophically, is that you brought into the world more animals than if you didn't exist. Note, I'm just ignoring feed lots here as that isn't what I grew up around, nor does anyone I know support them.

Presupposing however that only the former viewpoint regarding suffering is correct is a bit of criticism however. Additionally, if you've ever watched how most predators take down prey, humans are vastly more humane about it.

I'd rather we separate out the feedlot question from the actual killing question. The former is an economic issue, the latter I think of in many ways as the Lakota did.
any news on bundle size? and maybe Closure Compiler compatibility for dead code elimination?
I pretty much only play X-Plane as well. Don't really play any of the other games anymore. X-Plane is probably the only game I played that has over 300 hours.
If you are just going to carve out a bunch of exemptions, which is what actually makes that tax code difficult in the first place, to end up with the same outcomes that we have now, why change anything? It would actually be even more difficult to get the exemptions right since there would have to be more, they would have to be higher, and their phase outs would be more complicated.

Also, a single "family" of one, pays more in taxes today then say a family of four with 2 kids earning the same household income. Apologies ahead of time if I misconstrued your argument.
Shame.. I thought it was going to be an hour where you say "I see nothing!, I know nothing!"
For better or worse, some people really want to hear your "We're the X for Y". My startup [1] isn't the X for any Y (the closest thing I've found is "we're the Dolby for reading" — but this is not a close fit and makes people think too hard), but I've heard from many mentors/investors that I should try hard to come up with an "X for Y" comparison because they and their colleagues like to hear them.

I agree with you that these summaries are sometimes quite awful, but in some cases they are quite apt. The conclusion I've come to is that if a very good analogy exists, you should use it. But the bar for "very good" should be quite high, since a bad "X for Y" will do more harm than good. You end up in meta-conversations about the analogy itself, which isn't helpful.

> Of course I'm not objective. I can't be objective since it's my direct experience. I'm also asking you to take my word on me having the overriding reasons.

It's kinda hard to. What are you doing on that time? Caring for your elderly and sick grandmother? Tutoring orphans? It's kinda hard to come up with a legitimate reason that is better than that guy spending time with his kids.

"Spending time with" being shorthand here for performing quality parenting that over time makes their kids grow up to be well-adjusted, valued members of society. What could a single, childless person possibly do with that schedule that is more important than improving the future of a dependent that has more life ahead of them than you or I?

No, you don't have to provide an answer if you choose not to. But don't expect us to take you on your word either.
It sounds like you're looking through some kind of lens that makes liberals look hysterical to you, and you sound pretty hysterical about liberals yourself. You should get your prescription checked, because you're seeing things that aren't there.

Remember: liberals are the one who are for paid family leave, which today's "family values" conservatives are against (except for themselves). [1]

"Speaker of the House Paul Ryan drew scrutiny this fall when he said, “I cannot and will not give up my family time” as a condition of his speaker candidacy. Ryan, who is a devout Catholic, has opposed family leave measures proposed over the past several years. A spokeswoman for Ryan declined to share the office’s policy on family leave for its congressional employees." [2]

I've spent around six months living in and around Bangkok in 2008. when we were shooting a TV series there. Probably the only thing I miss the most about BKK is fruit stalls and fresh fruit and mango juice from it. Damn if it wasn't great. Weather was kind of crap though :)
Can confirm. XP11 is amazing. Though be prepared to pay a lot for addons.
People who can't arrange their work schedules to spend time with their kids often find other jobs. If the company has 2 people who want the same shift, management has to make a choice, and choosing the one most likely to impact the company by leaving is a reasonable decision.
It is also loved in the security world, and in the systemd-free world.
Way to go! Congratulations!
It's possible that the business is making a bet that the married person needs better compensation to be stay at that job, simple supply and demand.

OR, as the article states, it has nothing to do with marriage and the married person is better at their job and gets to push their weight around more where scheduling is concerned.
>employees shouldn't be discriminated against because another employee needs/wants help

Explain why not?

No, it's not funny to most people because most people have a more nuanced and thoughtful understanding of the subject than you do.

At Graphcool (https://www.graph.cool/) we were using Relay since the very beginning. It has enabled us to build frontend products at an incredible speed and while staying confident about the data layer. For instance our entire console is written using Relay at its core. (It's open-source btw: https://github.com/graphcool/console)

PS: We're also the authors of Learn Relay (https://www.learnrelay.org/) which we'll update to Modern Relay soon!
Ha ha. ...or downvoted!
Another different person, but I've enjoyed a lot of recipes from "Vegetarian cooking for everyone".
The Quant firm Jane Street uses Ocaml and built Core [1], an alternative to the Ocaml standard lib. I wouldn't be surprised if their business domain benefits from FP.

Also demonware [2], which is owned by Acitivision/Blizzard and manages online game lobbies for all their titles (ie Call of Duty series across all platforms), uses Erlang. They switched from C++ to Erlang before Call of Duty Black Ops was released. They said if they hadn't decided to switch before the release the company would have never been able to handle the 5 months of user growth the game brought to their platform [3].

I think the biggest reason is the systemd-docker skirmish. Alpine already offers many of the things you need as a lightweight host os, even though it has some shortcomings. I was surprised to find out that Amazon Linux is also systemd-free. For me it is the perfect host os.
No, it just resorts to the freaking JVM, which is not any more lightweight or native than Electron apps.

Progressive taxes only work because the poor get steamrolled by embedded taxes, local fees, and other taxes. Hence the politicians can tell them they have low taxes while eating them from the other end.

The primary reason to simplify the tax system is to remove as much influence special interest groups have in regards to carving out special exemptions. Making the system a simply sign and forget return type. A complex burdensome system only provides power to the political class.

The real reason to cap tax rates is because it has been proven time and time again, the more they have to spend they will and thereby pay a much higher over all tax rate.
Congratulations and good luck on your interview! :)
That means it isn't fast. Your CPU is fast and electron is making it consume an insane amount of resources to do trivial things. If it were truly fast, it would not affect your battery life.
Graphene is nice for Python. Supports Relay stuff too (I've never used these features, though).

If something is "difficult" to do, it likely requires considerable capital investment. Shouldn't the commercial returns go to the entity that made said investment? It is important not to mix up the concepts of discovery, invention, and patent, in this case. It's worth noting that, per my other thread here, this all has been heavily adjudicated by the Supreme Court, with much resting on the "expectations of success." It seems that in such matters the nitty gritty details of the particular situation matter, and it can be hard to discern innovation from discipline. In actuality, courts appear to have sided more often with parties that have "reduced to practice" the claimed IP.
You guys should get out moore, no other country does this. If i work a year in say Australia I pay Australian taxes that year, and nothing in my home country (Denmark). Thats how the rest of the world works.
Speaking of flight simulator war stories... A friend once smashed into a giant wall during take-off in a flight simulator he was testing, since the runway in question crossed either the equator or the null Meridian, and the cumulative altitude rounding errors caused a sizable discontinuity.

> Reducing the download cost is an attempt to get more people to see B2 as an S3 replacement, right?

B2's download cost was already cheaper than AWS for everyone but the largest customers but I expect a little guy has to try harder.

I think something that has contributed to seeing B2 as mainly for backup, aside from it being a service of a backup company, is greater emphasis on durability rather than availability. And looking at web pages now, B2's availability SLA is 99.9% [0] while S3's is 99.99% [1] (S3 Infrequent Access is 99.9%).

"My first thought at looking at those pictures is"

In my opinion the more interesting picture(s) are of the 70yo K.S. herself.

We live in an extremely sedentary culture where obesity has become normalized and it is jarring to see what people of (relatively) advanced age actually look like.
Sorry! Definitely no intention to bombard you with the same news. It's true that we had a couple talks at last month's React Conf but Facebook's conference F8 is this week which comes with a wide publicity push. Hopefully the next time you hear about it will be the final open source release later this year!
Serious question, can graphics rendering in games be replace with a technology like these? Then the developer will train a model to convert a simple low poly count 3d image to a very beautiful looking image, and gamer's PC will use those weights on the fly to make the game look beautiful. No need for expensive GPUs (as long as NN predictions are easy)
I think the idea is that employees with kids are being given extra perks at work because they have kids. Viewed abstractly, the parents are being compensated more than the non-parents, when all forms of compensation -- financial and otherwise -- are taken into account.

(That's the idea anyway. Whether it's actually true I cannot say. There are so many confounding variables and pretty much no conclusion can be drawn from one example.)
So, is it fair to pay women less?

/dons firesuit

Discussing marriage, pregnancy, childbearing status or the like is an absolute no-go for employers. So, the ideal solution is to consider all women capable of this.

Because of women's protected status of childbearing and leaving/returning, it would seem from a pure business perspective, that women are liabilities that can leave the job at any time and get it back, legally. What is this... scheduling latitude actually worth? I'd really like to see statistics on this. But on a sniff-test, this seems probably true and the reason why women are paid less: more risk.

Men don't have the same options here, at least in the US. Ideally, to "Level the Playing Field", I'd like to see men with the same rights as women. But alas, we're not really headed into more workers' rights territory.
It seems to me that we could eliminate a lot of that overhead if we stopped pretending that Social Security is insurance and just gave every retiree the same benefit. You would still need to keep track of who has reached retirement age, who has died, and where to send the checks, but you could get rid of a lot of arcane rules.
Absinthe works great for me: http://absinthe-graphql.org/
If two people are in competition for the same resource (a more desirable shift), someone is going to lose. The company has to choose one of them, making at least one happy, or neither of them, upsetting both. How are they supposed to "not discriminate" here? They are forced to choose which employee should receive the shift.

Bear in mind that if the tables were turned, the other guy would be going all over the internet saying "My employer gave this shift to another guy because they hate children and discriminate against families with kids", and the same responses would be had in the opposite direction.

Making these choices is always going to alienate someone, but they're a fact of life.
With all the truth in this article, it is worth to realize that there are large number of people that dedicate part of their life to being nomads and adventurers and do it authentically. There's a huge spectrum of adventurers from weekend warriors to full time. There's a spectrum or vehicle nomads from full time van life to traveling by car with your family. Having read this, please do not look down at our or your own adventuring. It is fun. When you get bored, you do something else.
