Is it over the top though? It's a references to a deplorable practice that humans do; why shouldn't we strive for something more civil, and more technically correct? The slave of a database isn't the property of the master and subject to its every whim; it's a replica of the data that can do separate, independent things from the master with that data.

> Out of interest, what is your opinion on male/female USB connectors? Does one deserve to get fired if they make a joke about "big dongles"?

As for gendered connectors, the terms themselves don't carry (or shouldn't :() any judgment nor does it's usage. A valid cable, pipe, &c doesn't have to be heterogeneous/hermaphroditic and can be homogeneous. I would hope that the LGBTQ community wouldn't be offended that only M/F ends can "mate", as biological "mating" (i.e. copulation for the purpose of procreation) can only happen between M and F ends, and see it as a judgment on non-procreation intercourse.

However, if there was an issue about the term M/F being a judgment call, it would be responsible for the community (well, all communities, as the terms M/F for connectors goes beyond just electrical connectors) to listen and (slowly) introduce better names.

There is no reason to make a large portion of the population uncomfortable when it literally costs us nothing to change it (over the long run).
Something that struck me, is the wording is surprisingly unwordy for a cloud provider...

Most modern polyamorous relations end up with the women having more partners than the men. Women have a far easier time finding sex partners than men do, on average.

> That growth might not be built on the most sustainable principles, but we are slowly getting there.

Despite what you hear about electric cars and so on, every year the human race increases the amount of environmental damage it does compared to the year previous. We're not just increasing the damage; we're increasing the rate of increase of the damage. Heck, not just the first and second but also the third derivatives are all positive.

So in fact we're not getting to sustainability at all; we're moving away from it faster each year. We're accelerating into the apocalypse. Some day that might change, but not this year. First we'd have to stop accelerating. Then we've have to slow down. Then we'd have to start reversing.
To me, the article falls into an expanded understanding of "naming things".
As in, once everybody is talking about the same things using the same terminology and referring to the same abstract concepts, etc, the job is straightforward (it may still be a lot of work, but it's straightforward).

As the article suggests, though, getting there is not easy!

You're conflating your personal experience with modern courtship and kinship rituals in a particular society with some sort of universality of human nature. That's a nice way of saying you're wrong.

You and all other humans exist because of what you say you believe would "destroy society".

Sex wasn't even associated with pregnancy, let alone progeny until fairly recent history. There are existing kinship models where the "husband" is the father of all of his wives' children, even if he's 80 years old and has ED. Native American courtship rituals placed women in control of their relationships with multiple partners. There's more than one way, and humans have done them all for millennia.

The fact that US vernacular doesn't have common terms to distinguish between the people who raise you (your parents) and the people whose genes you posses (your genitor/genetrix) speaks volumes about it's dimness in the face of modern understanding.

Just because you don't think you or the other products of your society could handle it doesn't mean an entire species is de facto incapable.
So don't serve any content from China, is what I am hearing.
I think this is part of the equation about illegal immigrants which nobody in the US seem to talk about. They dont talk about all the companies exploiting illegal workers. We had a situation in Norway with exploited Polish workers. It was when Norwegian unions started targetting polish workers when things turned around. With polish info about workers rights, salaries and conditions improved. If you get unions more actively involved in the US you might not need big walls. Businesses are not going to hire mexicans if they cant pay them shitty salaries. If salaries and conditions are better americans are going to take those jobs instead.

Ask HN: If MOC'd been less talented, he'd never have been banned. Better forum?
I think that the obvious answer is "No." Dan Gackle and, to a lesser extent, Paul Graham are failed writers, and it's the superior talents of certain high-profile posters (not only, but including, MOC) that angers them.

If someone else had been running this board, or if MOC were just not such a show-off when it comes to his skill, we'd have a different, better place with far more diversity of thought.

Please, discuss what this would look like.

The definition of demand in economics is a consumer's desire and willingness to pay a price for a specific good or service. A job with a wage low enough to not have anyone willing to fill the position cannot be counted as demand. As such, these jobs have no impact on price, which is driven by the supply and the demand, not the hope of hiring employees.
9 quick steps to optimize Magento performance via Admin Panel
Actually evolution may well be selection against cancer in older people. (may is key - we don't know for sure) Enough Young girls of breeding age have a small tendency to breed with old men. This increases our lifespan by ensuring those who have whatever genetics it takes to live older have more children. It is a small effect, but it is something.
I agree that the terminology doesn't matter, but consensus does. Master/slave are the commonly understood terms.

Here's a question: if "slave" is offensive, should "kill" (as in 'kill 69' to kill a process in SQL Server) be considered offensive as well? Simply as a consequence of being something 'bad/immoral'? I'm sorry, and I'd be glad to be corrected, but I genuinely find this argument...disingenuous. And people who see things the same way I do see that kind of argument and think that you've got other motives.

EDIT: I want to say (to prevent this discussion from flying off into Trump-land) that I'm liberal on most issues except gun control. I just have a hard time relating to the 'micro-aggression-y' brand of liberalism I've been seeing of late.
It's simple: with a polyamorous relationship, your wife would have another boyfriend/husband to spend her time with, and also to help take care of the kid, leaving you alone more of the time with the cats.

> They asked for use cases from a wide range of people to ensure they implement it in the best way. Subtly different, but essentially the same request.

Phrasing is important, and obviously (from the reactions of me and others in the thread) the phrasing was way off and perceived as condescending and lazy.

> I didn't say they need special generics. I said the approach that works best at Google may not be the best approach for the population at large. If Google is best served by C++-style generics, while the community as a whole would be better served by Haskell-style generics, why just jump in and do it the C++ way before seeing how others might want to use it?

OK, so you said they don't need a special generics, but then say that they do. I must not be understanding what you're trying to say. (If this is about choosing trade-offs, then see the other poster who talked about trade-offs. Executive summary: Not doing generics is also a trade-off.)

Also: ASK GOOGLE.

> Because they are trying to avoid the mistake of using one datapoint like Go has struggled with in the past? They know what works in Google, but that doesn't necessarily work for everyone else. See: Package dependencies, among many.

You can't have it both ways. Either Google is important enough to it in a way that works for them, or the community is more important and they get to choose.

Anyway, I'm done with this conversation. I think we may be seeing this from viewpoints that are so different that it's pointless to continue.

I'm not sure how to argue constructively with someone who says "I'm not saying X, but..." and then immediately states a rephrasing of "X". I'm sure that's not what you think you are doing, but that's the way I'm seeing it, FWIW.

> Aren't the Tesla class like the P100 mostly super overpriced for deep learning

Yes. Nvidia has real competition from AMD in consumer graphics but no competition in enterprise. Their consumer cards are sold at a competitive price while their enterprise cards are marked way up.

If cloud providers were really smart, they'd release cheaper/just-as-fast instances with consumer cards, but Nvidia probably doesn't want to do that deal; they'd prefer to push teslas as the standard for GPGPU, even if they have to mark them down for cloud providers.
> Only the case if all goods are the result of automated factories, which isn't true.

And which physical goods production can't be automated? Probably 99% can. There are first farms that are already fully automated, so whole chain along with transportation can be automated in future. You have any examples of whole industries that can't be automated? Because I can't think of any that can't, it's only matter of getting cheap technology to do that.

> And if it were, you wouldn't need anyone to buy anything - whatever you might want can be made by your factories

This is false, you don't have infinite amount of resources and for sure you don't have enough money and space to build factories for "whatever you might want".

>Democrats don't want to cut healthcare and entitlement programs in order to give massive tax cuts to rich people.

Who passed DOMA? Obama was against gay marriage until it became clear that it was going to get passed.

>Democrats don't work their asses off trying to suppress minority votes.

No, they just work their asses off to keep minorities poor and beholden to the state because that makes them good Democrat voters.

>Democrats don't want to prevent refugees from war zones from seeking shelter in the United States.

We wouldn't have refugees in Syria seeking shelter if Obama hadn't bombed Syria so much we literally ran out of bombs.

>But if you ask a low-income woman, for example

If that woman became a high income woman, she'd be much less likely to vote Democratic. The Democrats have no incentive to actually help her, only to make her more beholden to the state.

> A few paragraphs down they mentioned the starting salary at regional airlines: $26000

That may be the starting salary in some places, but keep in mind that median salary is closer to $100-120k. Starting pilots either are unaware of the longer-term salary, or that longer-term salary is still too low in comparison to other professions with similar characteristics.
I thought something quite similar, but upon further reflection the "remote" buildup and conclusion sets the narrative frame for the rest of the article.

Rather than just a "wisdom dump" it becomes more of a story with a purpose.
If it's any consolation, a lot of my peers, myself included, share this view. I wouldn't bother taking any of your valuable time responding to people who refuse to acknowledge your points.
Practically speaking, you're right, but only to a degree. Pay is not always a motivator for people past some point. Some jobs require a baseline intelligence to do effectively, and often times those people have other great employment opportunities. People capable of becoming skilled tradesman are also capable of getting high-paid jobs working in offices.

So companies looking for electricians or machinists are competing with companies looking for IT managers and the like. Not only is the pay much less than these people could otherwise get, the jobs are more physically demanding and often times, less flexible.

It's going to be hard to entice workers who already make 60+k a year doing a job with a lot of flexibility and downtime to take up a more demanding position. People love to talk about how much tradesman make, but the generosity of their salaries is often over-stated and ignores the seasonality and volatility of these jobs.
It's not pseudoscience and I suspect we'll have firm genetic proof that this has occurred. However, it is so slow it likely won't matter. Genetic engineering for increased IQ is looking like it will be easier than anticipated. Hell, even embryo selection would give us 8 points per generation. Should be possible as soon as we have about a million genomes tagged with their donor's IQ. This would make quick work of any dysgenic trend. However our civilization is so self-hating and in such denial of the biological realities around intelligence and reproduction that I suspect we'll be a generation behind Asian nations when it comes to widespread use of such technology.
You can't use an SVG as an image in a notification. A real shame as it would have solved all the device pixel ratio problems, but the SVG spec is absolutely huge (and includes stuff like animation) so I'm not overly surprised that Android doesn't support it.
But by that same definition then, is not a worker who wants more than what the employer is willing to pay then no longer part of the supply? By saying that it's just a system at an economic equilibrium, it feels like we remove any ability to make any comment on the system as a whole. It becomes just being what it is.

I wonder if you can't pull in some other evidence, such as, well, if you actually did raise your pay rate to a point where there would exist a worker willing to work for that amount, and you could further prove that worker would still be able to create enough value to the employer s.t. he or she was worth hiring in the first place, and that it then only boils down to the short-sightedness of the employer for not being willing enough to offer a higher wage?

(For example, something like the absurd valuations of some SV tech companies, and the millionaire they make, compared to the salary of an engineer. I personally think most places I've worked could move faster — generate more value — with better engineers, but that can't happen if you're paying "market rate" instead of paying competitively. But "enough" value is being generated, at least, people think, I guess.)
There is hope.

How about instead of becoming the expert at whichever business domain the software is for, we become experts at helping business domain experts find and express the business rules that need to be implemented?

You can fit a decent amount of that skill and the technical knowledge you mentioned in one skull, and it still lets you be quite effective in more than one domain.

That's what I'm going for anyway. Wish me luck.
Nah. You can't hold a 'maintainer transgression' which happened two years ago against them forever.

They have indeed implemented solid checks and offer a Shaxxx-sum file for every iso file they publish. Not only that, bt publicly "soul searched" and went to great lenghts to assure the community and its users that such mistakes would not be repeated. Now verifying the authenticity of the iso file actively encouraged, on the download page.

They made a mistake, took solid steps to improve, and the show has moved on. You should too, instead of smearing the project far far down the line. (I'm being retorical, I know)
This is all accurate.

E-Verify is mandatory, isn't it?

Under the current enforcement mechanism, E-Verify isn't sufficient. A failure will simply trigger a resubmission (in practice). The employee will need to come up with a different SSN / name / birthday tuple, by producing another forged Social Security card.
