'These decisions can have labor market consequences with long-lasting effects'

Heaven forbid negative consequences for the labor market!

'We hope that future work will assess interventions that may mitigate the negative effects that marriage market concerns have on women’s careers.'

Perhaps some people work to live rather than live to work, and care more about getting married than their career. Not everyone can get to the top, and not everyone even wants to.
Please don't make this about any specific religion's practices. That wasn't exactly my point. Only that the welfare of the child should trump religion.

In the US there is also a practice that all? hospitals offer this practice as just an additional procedure after birth. This should be stopped, and that is non-religious, it's almost worse because it's nearly thoughtless.

Also, whether something is mutilation or not is about more than how much it hurts when it's done. In this case a child is deprived of a part of their body that performs a clear biological function.

> revenge being best served cold (it's a saying in French)

It's also a saying in English, one that translates well.
The search results depend on Aloglia's algorithms. Revising the search to "visual statistics" changes the results, suggesting that word order matters. That probably makes sense for document searches since it favors searches that are more exact.

The order of the results also expresses how Algolia handles stemming.

There's probably some more information on Algolia's site.
This is really something that annoys me in the 21st century; that despite a formal invite (FB Event, email, even olde-worldy paper invite) people feel it's still OK to either hedge their bets right up to the last minute, or simply not show up even if they had previously rsvp'd to the contrary.

Most people these days simply have no manners.
funny my wife offered to do the exact same thing almost and call him at home ( found the # online! ) and really lay it on him how he's stealing food from our kid's mouth.

if you need to scale so much to be profitable you're doing something wrong.

except when you're selling an idea to a VC and scaling is all they think about.
Can't comment on this specific instance, but there are many closed SDKs that I use daily that if they were to open access to I would be able to put together some getting started instructions within a few hours.
Very personal question, but if you don't mind sharing:
Why do you want to be circumcised? As it is a minor surgery and very low risk, and as I understand it, the pain is easily managed with medication so why won't you consider it? I am not encouraging anyone to do anything, just interested in your perspective.
For someone with health insurance (as is legally mandated under the ACA) this would have cost about $30 ($20 office visit, $10 prescription).

Completely agree that the prices they charge to the uninsured are insane. Not sure what the situation is for tourists, but for American citizens, my understanding is that you cant be refused treatment if you don't have insurance. And most (many?) people without insurance just dont pay the bill.

Wow, what an interesting idea it looks like macaroons resemble HS256 JWTs (no asymmetric Crypto) with claims encoded as strings (except key-value pairs of JWT) that are interpreted by the verifier (you can build more complex claims like login time between X and Y). On the surface it looks like JWT and Macaroons are very similar.
Here you can read about the advantages of using Promises, it s very interesting, though a bit long. https://blog.jcoglan.com/2013/03/30/callbacks-are-imperative...

Promises are easier to compose because you can pass them around as values. Meanwhile callbacks are used only for their side-effects, they do not return anything.
I think Mastodon is going to crash and burn just like 100 other clones before it (remember the black and white artistic FB clone by hipster cycle manufacturer, or App.NET), but in process its going to teach a lot of wide-eyed naive optimists about the sad reality of human nature, and need for things like moderation, rules etc.
> People miss the detail that it's those big players that want net neutrality because it lets them essentially have a captive last mile infrastructure

How exactly?
People with dyscalculia are, obviously, exempt. In the saem way that you would give dyslexic people a pass on spelling.

But everyone else should make a reasonable attempt to grasp the basics.
The parent post, makes allowances for medical exceptions in their footnote. The point is there's no medical reason to circumcise en-mass or by default. Norway's ban is for ritual circumcision, which is not by a doctor.
Marissa Mayer did this in Yahoo. In each case it is a desperation measure in a declining company.
Many of the traits that make a person ambitious make a person bad at child rearing.

A moderately successful man will look usually for a woman that can do what he can't, he won't look for something redundant.

What is the point of a marriage with two people that work late? If they have kids, who will raise them?

> So, which is it HackerNews? Are we OK with companies deciding what gets on the internet, or are we not? On one hand, we laud Facebook et al. for suppressing "fake news", and then we get upset when ISPs do the same.

If you could only access the internet through Facebook, you would have a point.

You don't.

> Furthermore, the FCC has historically engaged in content regulation. Anyone wonder why there's no more cartoons on broadcast television? Or perhaps why the FCC is investigating Colbert's Trump Jokes? If we're so concerned about content freedom, the FCC is not the organization to trust.

You mean the FCC under George Bush Sr, and the current Republican majority FCC that wants to repeal net neutrality issued by the formerly Democratic majority FCC?

The people distrusting the government running up the the election currently seems to trust the government a great deal.

You can't issue timeless blanket statements regarding any organization consisting of rotating individuals. Hell, even the two parties have switched places a few times throughout history.
The Internet is the product of several economic effects, which explain all your points:

* The cost to enter the market is effectively nothing.

* The opportunity cost to switch new services is, again, nothing (change the URL).

* The opportunity cost to switch established services is not nothing (network effects, all friends are on Facebook, etc).

* The cost to acquire network effects is not nothing.

The later effects have nothing to do with the Internet. In any economy where window shopping options is free and competing is free, then whoever owns the collective opinion on your product domain is going to get a winner take all situation. Capitalism in general is like this - the more of a market you control, the more easily you can displace the competition through your own influence. That is why you get many natural monopolies.

Consumers expect web based content to be free because the marginal costs of their usage is effectively nothing (the per-user costs of running a server with a billion users requires many zeroes). Websites, and digital information in general, are non-scarce resources. Once made, making copies costs nothing. That is a much bigger rabbit hole though, and is generalized into broader problems of cognitive dissonance in people trying to put scarcity into non-scarce resources.

The only way to make the Internet - or more specifically, tcp/ip and http - more small guy friendly is to promote browsers to make content discovery easier at the browser level. Otherwise people will go to the silos they are familiar with / the ones they are told about.

Google et al fight for net neutrality because getting rid of it only makes ISPs richer at the cost of consumers and website hosts. The only possible state of being without net neutrality is paid bribes for service - Comcast will demand huge sums of money from Google et al or will throttle their services so their customers stop using them and use their own in-home products instead. And given the opportunity ISPs won't be some charity giving small business free rides - they will slow down or cripple the Internet for everyone except those who pay. The customers Google wants are a captive audience of major ISPs - without competition in the ISP market, and without net neutrality, every website operator needs to prostate themselves to the demands of ISPs to have their websites reach their audience, and the customers have no say in that relationship because they don't have a choice in ISP.

The no-work-from-home mentality is something I wish would die. I've heard form plenty of friends who've been interviewing with tech companies lately, that it's a discouraged practice. I make it a contingency for any job I've considered over the last 5 years. We're all adults, if you are worried that you won't know what I've been up to, you can check my Pull Requests in our source control system. If you worry that communication is an issue, just watch the Slack channels in which I'm involved. I mean, I can come to work and put on my headphones and talk to you via Slack, or do so from my couch at home. The most common excuse I get is that "some bad apples ruined it for the whole bunch". I'm sorry... a multi-billon dollar company isn't kindergarten. It is entirely possible to create a behavior improvement plan for ONE "bad apple". The rest of us big boys and girls can probably handle it. I just switched team at my current job and have started getting the "well, we don't want to abuse it" talk. What??? Abuse? quit treating it like it's some sort of privilege. I work. I use a laptop... which means as long as I have an internet connection and VPN access, I can do it from anywhere! If you're worried you can't get an answer to your question on a moment's notice, try Slacking me sometime.

I find this very common with managers that are scared that they are irrelevant. (they may not understand what their employees actually do) So they work hard to micro-manage the details they _do_ understand. It's sad. I'm a pretty good self-starter/motivator, and when I work from home, I typically start an hour earlier. When I'm at my desk in the building, I get distracted all day (whether by requests, or just talking to other employees) When will the tech industry learn?

First take note of everything that might be vulnerable. You need to take care of this too, not just the infection.
Chengdu: The New Global 'Silicon Valley'
Software Developer (mainly web). Full time. Sole developer in a 3-4 person department. Our consulting company (15-20 persons) was recently acquired by a much larger (1300 persons) but hasn't had an affect on us (yet).

[05:30 or [06:00] - wake up

[06:00]-[07:00] - make coffee and watch tv while I work out

[07:00] or [0715] - shower

[08:00] get to office (5 minute drive)

[08:15] - wait for my computer to finish starting up and be usable

[08:15]-[11:30] - work on assigned tickets, could be projects or bug-fixes or client meetings or anything in between

[11:30] - [12:30] - go home and make a sandwich for lunch, try to have a ~30 min nap

[12:30] - [17:00] - more assigned work

[17:00]-[23:00] - usually gaming and dinner, sometimes tv, errands

[23:00]-[05:30] - sleep, variable from 22:00-00:00 but consistent wake time.

Emails and chat are open all day. Not used much so it's not really a distraction.
Some days I get to work 15 mins early and then I wait until Friday and leave early. I am one of 2-3 people who is here after 4:30 pm.

Most of the work is integrating custom functionality into the Umbraco CMS. Sometimes I get to write stand-alone apps though, which is nice. I get to do all the code and SQL and half the time figure out IIS stuff. We also support many clients that have outdated systems (ASP, ColdFusion) but those are usually bug-fixes to keep them running as best we can.
Ever since the acquisition there has been very few days where there is enough work to fill a whole day (many many very big projects are just sitting at various stages of approval/planning/etc).

When I don't have enough work to do I build out functionality on my site or write an article. I do the coding here and we have a designer so I am getting to learn a lot more about CSS and layout that I don't get to do usually. Very rarely I will just pick up a tutorial to work through. My site has taken enough time to get to where it is that this is pretty rare.

To some people it sounds great but I would like to have consistent work and coworkers who I can actually talk to, even though we all are in cubicles next to each other, we are not a communicative group and the designer wants nothing to do with code (even though I'd like to get cross trained on design work). I've never been part of a code review and it's depressing not getting feedback about anything.

Sorry for the wall of text.
By the age you would be able to consent (between 13 and 18 years depending on country) it would be a major surgical procedure involving days or weeks of pain, not the few minutes a baby experiences.

Babies are remarkable in their ability to heal and adapt.
write the MVP in Rails or Django and scale things that need scaling later.

you can scale the base app by giving it more hardware, but when you have to batch process lots of stuff then think of services (most of the time you can just split that to another server).
You only play a half hour of Overwatch a day. I call bullshit.
Not always. They laid off people who were not interested in working in the office fulltime.
I had a recent medical issue with my daughter in the Philippines. We brought her to the emergency room in Manila at the best hospital that had US trained doctors.

All the tests, the stay, the treatment all came out to a total of about $140.

Contrast this with a recent visit I had to the ER in the US. I have insurance, and my copay for the visit was $150. There is definitely something wrong with the pricing of healthcare in the US.

I am not sure how to solve it given all of the parties involved, but I think adding transparency to the pricing would be a good first step. To those that do not know, the medical industry in the US has an anti-trust exemption. What that means is that they are not required to publish prices. That is why one patient can get a totally different price than another patient getting the same exact procedure.

How can you begin to solve something if you cannot even measure it?
I'd hazard much of it is due to poor tooling.

IBM is still on Notes and Sametime, these tools are fine for small groups i.e less than five but the experience degraded with the size of the group.

I'm specifically referring to group conference calls with shared desktop sessions. Email is fine.

Generally most of the communication tools were archaic and getting rid of them has been difficult as most current business processes relied on them (ie Notes databases not showing up in Verse)

Working remote needs quality tools across the org.
Everyone's looking for "the answer" but reality is that you often do different types of work at different times, and different work styles suit them.

If you're identifying/brainstorming a problem, I find that in-person is typically superior... this tends to be longer form, and includes more discussion (which is a bit tougher to manage remotely)... but when you're actually working on it, I could not care less about where the team is.
And their research even supports the goal:

> work-from-home talent tended to be “more engaged, have stronger trust in leadership and much stronger intention to stay.”

Stronger intention to stay is a problem if you're trying to shrink the workforce!
And if you want to be awed look up Kelsey Hightower's Github profile.
A lot of more traditional places work that way, e.g. Southern and Eastern Europe.

Of course, the general problem is that you're asking 20s-something people in the throes of hot, passionate romantic love and attraction (in cultures which also celebrate romantic love!) to voluntarily submit to a plethora of mood-killing "cultural limits". Boo!

But it's probably still better than the American approach of, "look ma, no hands!" :-)
For the laymen, is this something that I can use to replace MySQL/Postgre (with ACID), assuming I only use ANSI SQL and no stored-proc?
The same is true for female genital mutilation in certain Islamic cultures. I still don't think "it's culturally important" is a reasonable defense, and I doubt you do either.

And just to cut off this objection, the vast majority of female circumcision involves removal of the clitoral hood, which is (mutatis mutandis) anatomically equivalent to removal of the foreskin and has similar effects and risks.
This seems like a classical case of right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing at a huge institution, multiplied by the author's desire to get a 6-paragraph story out, where the headline is half the size of the story's body.

The opposing "hands" in this case are "company's Smarter Workforce branch", whatever that is, and "Chief Marketing Officer" in a message addressed only to his subordinates.

But sure, both can be classified as "The IBM", no matter how stretching or misleading that may be.
Is it possible to make this a local app so you don't have to use the web?
Your honesty is refreshing. I wouldn't be able to do it, though, it requires a special skill set that I do not possess.
>> that WMF's primary contribution is Wikipedia, and almost everything else is secondary

> Not so for some time.

Oh yeah? To me, as Johnny Q. Public, definitely so, now as always.

Could well be that you're doing Crom-knows-what too, nowadays -- but who cares? Why should we?

> Also, Wikipedia as a project is way bigger than just software.

Yup, you're right there: It's all about the knowledge, the actual _content_ of the on-line encyclopedia.

Which worked prefectly fine with the software of ca 2004, so why waste millions and millions to, AFAICS, hardly any benefit at all compared to that?
People believe all kinds of crazy things, but it's undisputed that Protestantism has been generations ahead of Catholicism in social change.

Even today, protestants have been accepting of same sex marriages, female clergy, birth control, and even abortions than the monolithic Catholic church, and that's not about to change anytime soon.
Yes, all else being equal, cost is the only thing that matters.

But often all else is not entirely equal, and then an analysis like this may be helpful.

For instance, if you look at the transportation sector, you don't actually need to supplant all the energy there, only the actually useful part. And batteries + an electric motor is in fact much more efficient than gasoline + an internal combustion engine.
It's his prerogative as to whether he wants to speak at LambdaConf just as it is my prerogative as to whether I want to attend LambdaConf. To each their own.

What I find disturbing is the reason. When I attend conferences I don't care about the speakers' political beliefs. No, I'm not going to seek them out in the bar but I wouldn't avoid their session either. I'm more concerned what I can learn from them in a technical sense then I am about their political views. Maybe I'm old-school but I don't think it's healthy to allow politics to color everything in your life.

That's my $0.02 anyway.
