Maybe some kind of inverse life insurance. Give pile of cash to insurance company and receive monthly paycheck for the remainder of your life. Essentially you are betting on a long life and they are betting on you driving your golf cart off the edge of a cliff. I think products like this exist in my country of residence; I'd be surprised if there is not a similar thing in the US.

On a side note, I read at one point that in France there is a tradition (not sure how widespread) of selling your home with the condition that the buyer must wait for you to move out, whether for health reason or because you die, and that you pay no rent while staying. Of course, the price is adjusted accordingly. Again, both parties are making a bet on the duration of your lifespan.

Brian Reynolds was prescient af. A quote from Alpha Centauri:

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

It is very easy to come up with theoretical numbers and look nice. We already know know the subway infrastructure works. Forget what exists currently, and try to calculate the theoretical throughput of the subway system. I bet you'll come up with much more that what it is currently.

On first look at your calculations the flaws I find are these:

1. 125mph is a very, very optimistic number in my opinion. In reality I think anywhere near 100mph is what I would expect.

2. You can't fit 50(!) people in a 20ft x 6.5ft 'sled' for hours. If something goes wrong, they'll trapped in a tunnel with no escape to surface for hours!!!

3. The numbers might make financial sense if you cram them with theoretical people at peak hours. But the thing is, most of the day (and night) those sled will mostly be empty. So you can only count the sleds to be used close to their limit for a couple hours a day morning and night.

4. You can't just daisy chain 33k sleds along the track. As I've said before, one malfunction would possibly wreck havoc in the system. Which can actually lead to people's death. Think of them as you would an airplane, but you can't land in an emergency like you can in an airplane

5. This is close to what @so33 said. The last couple miles and the first couple miles will be very congested because people slow down, and getting off them would take time and many stations. The only way to remove bottlenecks would be to make lots of places to easily disembark, which would increase the costs.
Your solutions are proportional reductions, a % reduction in the number of drivers. The problem of traffic rises with the ~2nd power of population because not only are there more people, there are more intersections.

Intersections can only be solved with 3d roads, by eliminating overlaps. The bigger the city, the more artery roads you need with uninterrupted flow, and they eventually choke each other. Build tunnels and you can have point-to-point connections without choking off local flow.

Reducing the number of drivers can't fully solve gridlock because at some point you have to hit a long light when you try to move from a high flow to low flow area. The only way to avoid that is with onramps and elevated freeways, but you can't build enough of those.

>How do you tell it where to go?

the giant ipad on the dashboard of your tesla, or your phone otherwise.

>If you merge lanes, wouldn't there be jams there? If instead you build many parallel tunnels [etc]

because if the increased speed, one lane is the equivalent of about 2.5 highway lanes in terms of throughput per hour. Regarding safety distance, I think you can actually safely achieve smaller spacing with a roller-coaster style mechanism than with tires on asphalt. I would say that as well is a 2x throughput multiplier. So parallelization seems largely unnecessary.

>How is it meant to compete on price or human bandwidth with subways?

ok so take an 8 car subway train with 40 people per car on a 10 minute interval. 8 * 40 * 6 = 1920 people per hour travel from A to B.

then take sleds each containing a car with 2 people, paced 300ft apart traveling at 125mph. that is 2 people * (125mph / 0.0568182mi) = 4400 people per hour

Also worth mentioning: LLVM's ErrorOr [1] which is like Either but with the right always an std::error_code. Rather convenient for APIs.

Also a remark: the author uses left()/right() calls excplicitly to construct Either instances. This should not be needed (given Either has the proper constructors). One could argue it is clearer, on the other hand one could say it adds unnecessary visual noise. I'm obviously in the latter camp else I wouldn't make this remark :]

Managers are not CEOs, the departments which align to deliver the product don't report to them, nor do they control what resources are allocated or have budgetary control.

PM's have to negotiate and gain consensus on what is to be built and contend with resources available. In software you can be at the mercy of the development manager and what they want to build, can sometimes be at odds with what you want built. Other times you may have a dev lead who just decides that like as they are building it, they will code what they damn well please, and ignore your architecture team (if you are fortunate to have one).

Those are just some of the things a Product Manager learns to deal with to get their product built and shipped.
We have also been there in a variety of functional languages and no problems there.

What runtime overhead, a function call? Pointer dereference? Even template magic on the error monad type won't save you from that one. The problem is shifted to the dereference. There you get either to handle an exception or error code, or explicitly check the state of the object.

Nested lambdas do work reasonably well.

But remember, were generally talking about error handling, not a callback that is supposed to run big transforms.
Done: https://github.com/atom/github/issues/825
The whole point of C++ exceptions is that they decouple the code that might raise exceptions from the code that handles them.

If you know how to handle an error when it arises, then you shouldn't be using exceptions. If you're wrapping a try block around every piece of code that might throw an exception, then you're doing it wrong.

The technique described in this article is not an alternative to exceptions... unless you were using exceptions wrong in the first place.

EDIT: Replaced "any code" with "every piece of code."

> A person briefed on the plan said Ford plans to offer generous early retirement incentives to reduce its salaried headcount by Oct. 1

Why do companies offer early retirement incentives? Wouldn't it be cheaper to wait until the day(or week or month) that you'd otherwise offer them to leave on, and fire them right then without any benefits? Especially since the stated purpose of it is to save money.

Ford in particular would probably get some negative PR. And since the most expensive employees are older, they might try to sue you for age discrimination. Is it just risk mitigation, or does Ford actually benefit from the incentive? 10% might be too large of a change to do all at once, especially at Ford's size; so buying them off lets them get rid of people gradually without surprising people.

I can understand why executives have to be bought off: They usually negotiate an accelerated stock vesting if they get fired without cause. What about anyone below that?

std::function and lambdas are two very different things. std::function can store a lambda, but it is a memory-allocating library class, while a lambda is a language-level construct. Very important to understand the distinction between these two.
It depends on the speciality. Internal medicine and almost anything related to pediatrics tends to pay less than other fields. Surgical fields tend to pay much more.

My wife is a pediatric emergency medicine physician and I get paid more than her because I'm in tech. Also, I started my career and began earning an income right after college, whereas she went to medical school and a fellowship before she could begin earning income.

I always joke with her that, in terms of income efficiency, my field is way more profitable than hers. And a lot less stressful too.

Agree with the first point - if the final goal is to move people around at low costs in terms of construction/maintenance, land use, and environmental factors, the low ratio of "transported human" vs. "transported metal" makes cars the worst of all choices. This can also only alleviated for so long by making roads more congested in a more efficient way. In the end, roads are still a massive waste.

Some of your other points make too many assumptions of maintaining a status quo. E.g. automated cars will make sharing schemes more feasible. You can either hop on an uber-like car to get home, or lease your car out in the 96% of the time it sits idle.

Unfortunately (depending on the right price) I think this will make car travel more attractive compared to other forms of transport. One can think of a lot of sharing schemes - individual cars, minibuses, or large busses like we have today - with different price points. Overall costs of motorized travel is likely to fall. So I would think that overall we will see that vehicle use will go up (at the expense of walking on foot, for example) and use of parking lots will go down. In fact if traffic wasn't as cyclic as it is one wouldn't need any parking lots at all.

Also, if you can really get to the 130 or so MPH in the tunnel, then travel time will not be such an issue.

The main fallacy of the whole initiative, however, is that it is based on status quo of the structure of cities. Compare the urban sprawl of a post-WW2 US city with those of a medieval town. The main difference was that travel was slower, and faster travel was incredibly expensive (mostly unreachable due to lacking technology). It led to a much more efficient use of resources. If anything we need to redesign our cities based on these old principles in order to reduce overall resource consumption.

I wouldn't say that they necessarily want to increase their market share at this point (but that may have been the original intent). Now it is probably more about retaining as many users as possible by offering more or more convenient services than their competitors.
> After that they are perfectly fine not having IT people around.

I've never seen this work in practice. It always takes almost as many people to properly maintain a solution as it did to build it, there is no "done" state where the can get rid of the developers. It was accepted as far back as the mythical man month that maintenance is where the vast bulk of software costs are.

> Those that want to keep around onsite development need to upskill their social skills, and also be able to bridge between developer, architect and business relations.

At this rate we're about a decade a way from expecting developers to be one man corporations.

I'm late on commenting on this. Saw the story passed around here and on social media and figured it'd be worth waiting until the evening to read...

I actually ended up reading Tizon's piece after seeing this Tweet from someone I follow, which pointed out sanitized obituary, which Tizon played a part in informing:

https://twitter.com/WendyBrandes/status/864655516227784704

http://o.seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2016807437...

I greatly appreciate Tizon's life work and his decision to write about Lola, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to feeling a great sense of disillusionment, in some ways greater than I've felt about any recent purported journalism scandals, or even the classic infamous ones [0].

It's a complex story and well-told, one in which I simultaneously feel great hatred for Tizon's mother while also seeing Tizon's conflicted perspective. I know how I'd want to act if I were in Tizon's shoes, but (assuming a reasonably reliable narrator) I empathize with how he was constrained to take what seems like obvious moral action. Journalists, even Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporters, are just human, I suppose. But to know that someone could have the moral impetus to do such important investigative reporting on behalf of the victimized in our world, yet could not himself call out the modern-day slavery present in his life...that is deeply unsettling.

Oh yeah, I have my shortest stint in one of those company.

It was rumored that the company I was working had taken poison pill last time by having the ratio of benched workers and assigned workers to 50%:50%.

Their presence in our country was small, but they have multiple office campuses in India. One campus even have a separate building that if you walk to that building to work, people know you are benched.

Compared to other company that I worked, one of their value proposition is to have resources readily available if you want to start a project today, apart from having a dirt cheap offer. So yeah, benching a lot doesn't come as a surprise to me about those companies.

I guess it depends on the person and your situation.

Before we had kids, my wife's shift schedule wasn't too bad. I owned my own business and could take time off when she was free during weekdays.

Now that we have kids, the shift schedule is tougher on her. Kids don't work on a shift schedule, and when they make demands of her time and I'm unable to help, she ends up sacrificing her sleep. That happens often enough that it makes any jokes about startup founders being sleep deprived, well, a joke.

Somehow, she's able to rally herself and get enough energy to work through a string of night shifts, even after having to take the toddler to the pediatrician during the day if I wasn't able to.

My wife also moonlights at another hospital (something she did back when I was getting my startup going and we needed the extra income). She continues to do this because she enjoys the work there (it's higher acuity).

That's just our personal experience. Colleagues of hers have solved this by hiring help (au pairs, nannies, etc), which we intend to do soon.

She's told me stories about some of her colleagues that don't have kids and have their own share of difficulties. One of them recently dealt with a particular tough case where a 3yo died. There's a culture in the ED where you don't take time off unless you're truly dying. Got the sniffles? Suck it up and come to work. Dealing with a traumatic experience and can't sleep because you've been crying all night? Suck it up and come to work. Hopefully that colleague finds a way to cope, because it's kind of frightening to me, as an outsider, to think of my ED doctor being that person.

I can only speak to the ED specialty. I'm clueless about other medical specialities and any potential health issues around them.
Air isn't really a problem. A person breathes about .5 cubic meters of air per hour, so 100 people trapped for 6 hours will go through 300 cubic meters of air. The diameter of the tunnel being 14', that air supply would take up 68' of tunnel lengthwise. And that's one breath, the air can be breathed many times before the co2 level becomes too high.

The air inside the volume of a coffin can last you a few hours. Unless you are literally shoulder to shoulder with no other air, your oxygen will last as long as you need.
I know that in the old days, the long long ago, companies would sometimes act in ways that benefitted their employees out of little more than just not wanting to screw them over completely. Basically just out of niceness and decency. Maybe the people at Ford are like these old-timers who tell me about such things.

Also, I know that Ford certainly used to have a solid union. I wouldn't be surprised if they have workers who can't simply be instantly fired without cause and with cancellation of all benefits. Like some kind of worker's paradise.

Here in Melbourne, I used to have a bit of a "gut feel" that it might not be efficient to give over two entire lanes of our roads to our light rail vehicles. Having two lanes sit empty for so long between trams seemed so wasteful. And for what, a single vehicle to come through every minute or two?

Then I sat at an intersection one day and counted how many individuals were being moved through two lanes of regular car traffic vs how many came through on the light rail.

I was shocked by how inefficient regular traffic is.

So now MY gut feel is that without any technological breakthrough, this sort of system would already be starting with an order of magnitude disadvantage: which is to say, shockingly inefficient compared to allready available technology and solutions...

No, performance would probably be worse. For one, std::function is not just for lambdas. It uses type-erasure and dynamic allocation to hold any sort of callable object/function. It's a generic type with a complex implementation and I wouldn't assume it would be optimized away.

Additionally, when using Either the lambdas are in the caller and are invoked almost immediately by map. The scope is small and they do not enter into any other compilation unit. If you pass them into the called function, the compiler is only going to be able to optimize them if the called function can be inlined. Even then, the optimizer will have to be smarter, because the error handler will travel through a much larger scope and a type conversion.
