This is a standard part of feminist theory- basically the idea is that people with no power spend a lot of time wondering what powerful people think, so they tend to have a good understanding of what powerful people think. But people in a privileged position don't really have any need to think about what less powerful people think- so they don't do it. And that's where you get the trope of women being mysterious creatures, whereas women seem to understand men perfectly. The same logic applies to bosses and workers.

I think the issue here is that other posters are describing things that I have no doubt are factually correct in Holland or wherever they're from. Your perspective is biking in a broader sense, and I have no reason to believe you're wrong about that. It's just very different from the specific situation in Holland: we rarely have snow or ice, and while it might seem like a rainy country, it's usually rain showers interspersed with dry periods. We take that into account in our bike rides, just as we do the public transit timetable.
I just had a thought that much of the difficulty lies in the murky zone between the following views:

1) "This person is struggling, and part of the problem is their work ethic and poor executive functioning."

and

2) "This is a moral failing and thus we can't help them too much, as they will take advantage of it."

I think some people automatically associate the second idea with people who express the first, when in reality they don't have to be tightly coupled. I personally think that (1) is a legitimate dynamic in some cases (I have no idea the exact extent).

On the other hand, (2), while touching on a worthwhile consideration (any help given should be effective, etc), frames things in an inflammatory and unproductive way, and on the net implies an inaccurate and harmful overly pessimistic sentiment.

Another huge reason for the trickiness is that the concept of "work ethic" is fairly nebulous and complex. For example, sometimes people can have a huge change in work ethic with a small change in perspective (of course, perspective changes are difficult in and of themselves) or environment.

> But a huge proportion of poverty stems from bad work ethic.

Is there a morally relevant distinction between mental illness and bad work ethic? There is a lot of research to suggest that things we associate with "bad work ethic" (e.g. lack of impulse control) appear extremely early in childhood development and aren't things people necessarily have much control over.

We need to stop moralizing things that people have no control over. We've realized this in a limited way--it is no longer acceptable to make fun of people with intellectual disabilities (IQ < 70). But there is still a weird doughnut hole were it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of people with 70 < IQ < 90. Your mental abilities are mostly an accident of birth, like having rich parents. There is no moral dimension to it.

There is a kernel of something I agree with in your post, though: social structures can add a lot of value in helping people who might not be that bright or might have problems with impulse control to lead productive lives. That's a major shortcoming of our current approaches to fighting poverty, which emphasize individualism.
IO on them is like IO on any modern PC - a baklava of protocols many inches deep.

Agreed. I suppose you mean the MediaTek LinkIt 7697? Opinions on the RTL8711AM Ameba?
You have gotten many decent replies already. I think one thing that is missing is that the phrase talks about "free as in free beer". So it is not a statement that beer in general is free, it is a clarification that we want the meaning of "free" as in the phrase "free beer". In other words: At no cost. ("gratis")

This is in contrast to "free" as in "free speech", which is about freedom/liberty. ("libre")
So, there is an entire class of people identifiable by their poor work ethic? Your fourth paragraph makes a stab at Randian logic, but without her grammatical clarity.
Are you looking more for frameworks and libraries or app level code?

For the former, the source of Django, Django Rest Framework, Requests and Flask (as well as most things by Kenneth Reitz and Armin Ronacher) are all great codebases to look at.

> I don't really see if implementing what they have because it's already built in.

It is worth remembering that it wasn't built in 40 years ago. Cities can build the infrastructure, they just have to systematically make that choice for years. It is just many cities outside the Netherlands prioritize expanding car infrastructure rather than bike. Many places will push developers to add underground car parking, Netherlands pushes you to have the 10,000 bicycle underground parking garage mentioned in the article.

The main difference in the Netherlands is its consistency of commitment to cycling infrastructure over decades as roads naturally came up for renewal.
> In practice it turns out people prefer information that validates their opinions, regardless of accuracy.

Quotes abound including Ben Franklin about how people will believe what they damn well want to. This isn't a new revelation by any means save for some technocrats that probably were too autistic to understand human nature.

On the otherhand Information wants to be free has always been able to make a non moralistic statement that is true without respect to human behavior. The cost of information is not due to anything human. The reason why this is still a powerful statement is that it makes it clear that outside of totalitarian control (from SOPA to real jackboot dictatorships) you can't control the dissemination of information even amongst the peasantry. Of course if this information is news.. it could be garbage.. and often is.
As an infosec guy, I'm honestly getting really tired of this. Virtually every time someone submits some new security tool to Hacker News, the author has made trivial, catastrophic, and what should be completely avoidable security mistakes.

So for the hundredth time, if you're not a cryptographer or experienced security engineer, please stop releasing and promoting your crypto-related projects before they have been vetted by someone who is. If this is something you intend to release, ideally run the basic idea by someone qualified first. By not doing so, you are doing active harm. Someone's life and/or liberty may very well depend on the software you write, and when you fail them in this regard you are ethically and morally responsible when these things are taken from them.
When you're leading a team or doing public speaking and just starting out, one of the challenges is that you second guess yourself terribly after you have chatted to the group. I think empathy is part of the cause - you see yourself (and what a complete idiot your are) from the perspective of each individual in the group. It can be debilitating if you don't figure out how to stop yourself from doing that. Part of that is turning off a certain amount of empathy.

As others have pointed out, the article may be flawed. But I think the job of leader calls for reduced empathy or some way to control it and the second guessing yourself that comes with it - and that is probably what the author observed.

Pricing varies and our goal is to make it much consistent in the not so distant future. When we decided to build Solve, we thought we were building a simple booking engine. But really, behind the scenes, we are taking a ton of data and making it easy to understand. It just ended up being much more complicated than we thought.

Now that we've got a better understanding of price, it will help us figure out how to optimize. The paired pricing is actually just legacy in the space and we'd like to ditch it or at least come up with something better.

We've got some work to do before we're at the 50-100 buck range, but we definitely appreciate your perspective and feedback.

Berkeley AI Research's New Blog
I think this kind of sourpuss attitude about Mozilla isn't helpful. What they did with addons is about maturing the platform, making it a safer operating environment for non-power users.

I believe it's a matter of time and maturity for Mozilla to support 99% of add-on requirements with their more secure, chrome-like, addon system. The fact that vimperator can't be written in today's Firefox, or that it would be a mighty pain to do so right now, is acceptable to me if it means Firefox is less hackable.

I've certainly been critical of Mozilla and dislike how the browser has been dumbed-down in many respects over the years in-service of making it an application delivery platform. But, in my opinion, stability and security have to be job #1 for Mozilla.
> Amazing infrastructure for cycling (at least in Amsterdam).

It's actually even better outside of Amsterdam. Not nearly as crowded, not as many tourists trying to ride a bike for the first time ever, no pedal-driven saloon floats blocking the paths, and pedestrians and cyclists actually do stop at red lights.
Calling it "logic" is a stretch.
Agree. I think of group (1) as the "accidentally homeless." Group (2) is homeless secondary to some other insidious problem and they will remain homeless unless the primary problem is dealt with. Group (1) are a source of feel-good stories. But group (2) are the ones that really need help, and that help might be inconveniently expensive. It's easier and cheaper to pretend that group (2) doesn't exist.
NIT Rourkela Recruitment 153 Technician,Accountant and Other Vacancy
While it's totally understandable once one looks into the historical context and notes similar patterns in other non-caucasian cultures, the use of the term 'white' in this context has become so confusing and problematic as to perpetuate the very problems it's trying to identify. Unfortunately a lot of the obvious alternatives are similarly problematic, and I haven't been able to think of a good novel one. My favorite term is 'authoritarian' but 6-syllable words are also a good way to lose a large part of your potential audience :-/
> But a huge proportion of poverty stems from bad work ethic.

Such thinking is the problem, it's juvenile, simplistic, and wrong.
>>But a huge proportion of poverty stems from bad work ethic.

What proportion exactly? How do you know it's "huge"?

I mean, what you describe definitely happens to some extent, but I'm curious as to how you reached the conclusion that it's really common.

Because I have counter-anecdotes. The most common scenario I personally witness is that an unemployed person finally lands a job, and they work their asses off to make sure they don't lose it. They arrive early, leave late and generally jump at every opportunity to prove their worth.

So I'm very skeptical that poor work ethic is a significant root cause of poverty. Of course, if you have actual numbers, I would be interested to read more.
Can you crack the Black Box?
I'm sure there are extenuating circumstances in many cases, yes.

Why is it so unacceptable to think that they are simply humans, like you and me, with agency and power over their own choices, with responsibility for the outcomes of their choices, who are simply choosing to do a thing that you and I believe to be a really bad choices?

A pattern of such choices is labeled "bad work ethic" but at the end of the day, bad work ethic is just a long series of individual choices to do something besides working.

That's a really cool theory, but you're also stirring up the hornets' nest by bringing it up anywhere in tech environment, which got really feministic recently. BTW, one thing doesn't seem to stick: they don't label themselves as less powerful - in fact, their misandric agenda keeps trying to repeat the opposite.

I personally believe that the "mysterious creature" concept stems from women being more emotional and thus more difficult to analyse - we seem to have more scientific grounds for logic, whereas we still hadn't even agreed what an emotion is.
Yes. More like a minimum wage, but that's a government intervention into price, too.
Some people are undoubtedly going to be upset about the lack of home button if this is true, but I've gotta admit that putting the fingerprint sensor on the back is something I've enjoyed ever since having it on my Nexus 6P.

> It's a shame this is getting downvoted because it's not really inflammatory or even untrue.

Actually it's both inflammatory and untrue; spoken by someone who's obviously never been poor or known many poor people. Being poor is not a choice nor due to people simply being lazy, regardless of any anecdotes you might come up with. Anecdotes have no place in such conversations about systemic issues.

Our CTO keeps 'suggesting' that we build services on Azure vs AWS. They're roughly equivalent but Azure works out to be more expensive and more opaque to our team and there hasn't actually been a justification for why other than "because we use Microsoft services". A significant amount of our infrastructure is on AWS already.

I imagine the more money we spend, the more goodies he gets. They already sent him a Hololens and that's just the thing I can physically see.

There's a good statistical analysis of the declining work ethic in some classes of white Americans in Charles Murray's book Coming Apart.

I recommend the book. It's not directly about this mainly, but the work ethic decline is statistically identifiable and localizable to a specific class of white American (who are also a class that people like you and I have essentially zero personal contact with).
It's not unacceptable, it's just incorrect and frankly vile.
>Can you explain what it means to balance a binary search tree?

Yes, to minimize the depth by "filling" every branch possible/equalizing the number of nodes in every subtree at a given depth.

>Are you referring to writing your own implementation of AVL or RB trees?

Yes, though the interviewer didn't say "AVL" or "RB". I'm not sure I ever even got a class with those in it, and frankly, I don't care enough to memorize how to implement them just for an interview question.

Again, this wasn't Google. This wasn't a firm that did complicated data-structures stuff all the time. They fully admitted how simple their work is. But they asked about how to balance a binary search tree anyway.

I haven't seen any marketing material from Nginx, but I think there are historic reasons for these perceptions.

I've personally experienced the problems with Apache and prefork. We couldn't switch to the event model because modpython/modwsgi wouldn't work with it. And prefork was really awful when it comes to serving files. Nginx also had much better defaults. So you could use the version from the distribution and bombard it with requests without it breaking a sweat.

In the end, I think convenience is really overlooked when it comes to server software, or at least has been. Most shops don't have lots of time to spend on tweaking things. The defaults must be good and necessary configuration should be simple as at all possible, autodetecting as much as possible.

Not that nginx is perfect, the caching layer is one example of something that doesn't really do the right thing out of the box. Last time I looked, there was still a bunch of really common stuff it doesn't understand by default, e.g. it can get confused by compression headers or common tracking cookies.

On a similar note, I once sent a bug report to Varnish that didn't at the time respect Cache-Control: private out of the box. In the end it was wontfixed by PHK.

Hi,

I made this little side project. not perfect yet, a little like techmeme but for football news (with a focus on transfers).

It aggregates articles from newspapers and blogs then groups them so you can focus on a core set of headlines. It ranks the articles in terms of importance and filters out the rumours with few or poor sources.

so now you can weed out the dodgy rumours - hope people find it useful :)

Never? Not ever? Not even 1% of the poor? Not even one person?

The absolutism of your statements makes it clear that you are convinced morally of your arguments, not factually. You believe intensively in what you're saying because you think it's good, not because you've got an airtight case that it's universally factually correct.

Don't let your moral convictions bleed into your understanding of the world; it makes you an ideological zombie who can't handle statistical nuances or proportionality arguments.

Definitions are pretty fluid and the top level poster did take time to try to qualify the definition for the purposes of discussion.
