I think the article means 'assets', not commodities. They're saying investment in real estate is leading to (a) long commutes for poor people and (b) empty houses causing commercial blight.

Thought it was going to be about how cookie-cutter apartment buildings tend to have nice fixtures but thin walls & inefficient heating/cooling.

Can anyone tell me their experiences running a virtual hackintosh?

In my current job I don't need a mac anymore, so I'm switching to a NUC which I'm thinking it'll be best to run Qubes on. But I do have existing mac/ios projects that I'd like to support, thus the need for a virtual hackintosh.
If your funds can fail consistently for 5 years and people still hand you billion then that's not exactly unforgiving.
It's much easier to stick a huge-ass battery in a truck than in a car. I'm fairly sure the tactic here is to take the convex hull of a truck and fill it to the brim with batteries.

Hi - Please forward me a copy of one of those emails (to my first name at academia.edu).

1 in 5 people has a disability (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/miscellane...).

Not all of those justify an handicapped parking spot, but way more than 1% of the population deserves one.

If a store has 99% handicapped customers, it's only because it's actually hostile to people with an handicap.
I think the only reasonable option, if he was to make a run, would be for him to completely separate himself from Facebook.
I feel like we would've said that about gay people thirty years ago if we'd had the Internet we do today.
'
I live with one person who uses "they/them" and have lived with three others, one of whom identified as transgendered (as opposed to "gender queer). At the high school I worked at, we typically had a transgendered population of 1%-5%, but no one who used they/them--just one who used he/him/his and several that used she/her/hers. I think I've known more transgendered people than I've known CMU, Harvard, Stanford, and MIT grads combined, despite working in a tech startup and being the son of two CMU grads.

Yes, it's rare, but not as rare as graduating from Harvard, and it's definitely not just an Internet phenomenon. There are just a lot of areas where they don't feel welcome. They're real people in real life and they tend to congregate in places where they'll be treated as such. Right now that includes sections of the Internet, but also quite a few real life enclaves.
Last time I heard him speak publicly he was so utterly horrible at it that there's no way he'll succeed in political campaigning.
The article says:

> [The auditor recommends to...] Allow parking meter enforcers to access state placard data so they can nab cheaters on the spot. Now they must go through sworn law enforcement who are often too busy handling serious crime.

I understand that you feel these efforts should be ignored because there is real "serious crime" to address.

But I disagree: a society with few felonies but a rampaging problem with unenforced misdemeanors is not a nice place. It's reasonable to devote a large effort towards preventing serious crime, but an appropriate effort towards less serious crime is not zero.

Alternatively, you're correct that we don't need police to make sure people aren't being assholes. They have more important things to do. But we do need parking meter enforcement officers, and they should be empowered to make sure that people aren't being assholes.

Before You Start a Company in Your Early 20s
I don't understand why so many people are enamored with the idea of successful business people becoming President.

The jobs are very different, unless the company they built is truly democratic. As President, you do not rule from the position of CEO, where what you say is truth and must be followed (except in the case of the military). The Companies board, generally less than 20 people, are the only ones who regularly keep you in check, and those generally are only interested in you increasing or maintaining profits.

As President your board is more like Congress. That's 25x the size of the current board. Congress actually passes the laws, which means you need to convince them to do what you want; opposite of a traditional corporate board. And congress really only does what their constituents want, b/c the house faces elections every two years. So really you need to convince their voters that what you're trying to convince them to do is right so that congress feels like they can actually do it.

This takes very different types of leaders in, IMO. Zuckerberg for, better or worse, has been successful at leading a company in a direction where he has nearly sole control. That doesn't translate directly to President, let alone a successful one, and on top of that he'd actually need to get elected, which would surprise me...

Or maybe it really is a made up story. Or embellished. Or mis-remembered.

Other than really wanting to believe, why do you assume that some random internet guy telling a second-hand story is "hard evidence" of anything?

Indeed. I have no sympathy for massive multi-national corporations when executive pay and corporate profits are as high as they are now. The world does not need any more corporate welfare programs.
> you can never win an argument online

This is true online and it's true in person. As you said even if you "win" by getting the other person to concede, the net result is often that they are more walled into their position than before.

I've come to believe the real issue is that you should not be trying to "win" a discussion in the first place.

Rather, you should assume (or at the very least pretend) for the moment that their position is justified and they are "right". Under that presumption, ask questions and allow them to elaborate on their position. In short, instead of talking, listen without judging until you really, truly understand and have acknowledged and accepted their position.

At that point you have a tool very few people ever acquire in a discussion. You have the ability to frame your argument in their terms.

Now, that doesn't mean you will convince them you are right and they are wrong, but it does mean they are going to be far more likely to listen to you and consider what you've said more fairly than if you had simply bombarded them with facts and figures, i.e. "logic".
I wonder what the OS and software guys at Apple think about the lack of options in their own hardware department. It must be a little frustrating to be invested into the software as a developer but know that a lot of pro users (people like themselves) are moving away from the platform.
My mother works at a call center, and according to her, the churn is caused by misplaced expectations.

Basically, fresh hires have to take calls without appropriate training. Then they make lots of mistakes, or redirect most cases to more experienced colleagues. Because of this, the service level isn't met, and everyone is let off again. Then the cycle starts with new hires, who - surprise - aren't any better.
This also could be simple mistake of users leaving a review on the wrong page. I see this done in both directions. Just yesterday I saw a 5-star review that raved about a restaurant, only at the end they were thanking a different restaurant.
I think they hit on a real tension, but their interpretation of what is needed is wrong. The shift I think we need to see is management as "doers" rather than everyone being able to do everything. That is middle management needs to have at least enough skills to identify problems and act as a project manager rather than management for the sake of management. With that you'll have teams that look like proficient generalists at the middle/top level and then deep dive specialists underneath them. It's kind of a failure of the modern big co. that the only way to advance is through management rather than some sort of journeyman expert track which is what is really needed.

This is all really good info, and accurate as best I know. I work for an insurer, so maybe a given, but we take workstation ergonomics really seriously.

I don't have long arms, but I'm also 5'8" - even still, I have the right desk height, monitor height, chairs, etc. I'm now at a fixed standing desk, which I chose because an adjustable desk meant I'd always choose to sit, but none of this is one size fits all. Always measure!
Its not unreasonable.
I really hope scientific authorities start realizing there is erosion of trust and they need to take extreme steps to fix it.

I've worked as a developer, manager, and founder with several successful ventures and have come to love not just technical challenges, but creating products that delight users. Some areas of narrower interest to me beyond coding: user experience and empathy, rewrites, near-real-time architectures, and continuous delivery.

I'm testing the waters at the moment, currently full time employed as a lead developer/manager for a larger company, but I have been considering entering back into contract work for the right projects.

Small, non-venture-backed businesses very welcome.

“Once a view is popular with the general public, or just within your own ‘tribe,’ it takes a lot of courage even to question it to yourself,” says Blackford. For example, just 50 years ago, homosexuality was banned in many western countries. “It would have been a very brave person to put their hand up and say, ‘There’s nothing wrong with being gay.’”

And there you have it. The absolutes slither and shift. One generation's unquestioned truth is another's indisputable anathema. Today, it would take a very brave person to put his or her hand up and say, "There's something wrong with being gay".

> Programming has changed. In first generation languages like FORTRAN and C, the burden was on programmers to translate high-level concepts into code. With modern programming languages—I’ll use Python as an example—we use functions, objects, modules, and libraries to extend the language...

This is the first paragraph. I understand that it's just setting the stage, but it makes so little sense by itself that I had to make an effort to continue reading.
Sure OSS has a longer lifecycle because a dev can lookup the source code and fix it. But companies don't want to spend twice. For example in case of a DB, they would rather want a DBA to manage the DB. They don't want to hire a developer and a DBA - that's how they view it. Sure if you can find someone who is good at both but they are few and far in between. It is much easier to have an Oracle DBA manage Postgres with paid support than find a developer with enough programming under his belt to ensure he can take care of Postgres issues.

As hindsightbias puts it they want solutions and 24*7 support.

Facebook would become the world's biggest propaganda machine. I'm 100% sure it would give rise to an alternate social network if Zuckerberg went full democratic.
