so you aren't seeing evidence of institutional racism, sexism, and ageism in tech? Not in your personal experience? When was the last time you reached out to someone in a marginalized group where you work and asked them about it? You might start with that, in fact we could all start right there. And maybe open with empathy and the assumption that their experience of these is true, rather than demanding evidence. I write you now as evidence of these myself, and how do you respond? How does anyone respond in this thread? Is there overwhelming empathy affirmation and support or is there indignant denial of a person's experience?
> Intellectual property isn't real property, though

Do you mean intellectually property isn't really property, or do you mean intellectually property doesn't consist of estates in land (“real property”.) The latter is obviously true, but hard to see it's relevance; the former is false. IP is no less property than any other form of intangible personal property.
YouTube, iPads, TV's, can float around in the homes of other families, and your kids can visit their homes and play on their Xbox or whatever.

But that doesn't mean these things need to be part of your kids home, work, or play routine. Even kids in nice areas around the bay area aren't about to suddenly bring home an iPad or iPhone without their parents notice. Kids will beg, but they will also learn to stop begging; they will learn that their family just does things differently.

I've seen plenty of parents choose NOT to buy their kids a major computing device until junior high age, and prior to then making them go through the inconvenience of typing on their parents computer.

It doesn't screw them up. It doesn't make them socially weird. It doesn't make them technologically aversive later, and it doesn't stunt their enthusiasm for play.

If you want to give your kids unsupervised play, because you need some personal or work time, what's wrong with biking around the city with friends?
I just sold one of my side projects, Ipify (https://www.ipify.org/) for a reasonable amount of money just a month ago. It's something that I built on my free time, and ran for several years successfully.

I was contacted with a purchase offer, did some negotiation, and ended up selling it several weeks later.

I realize this isn't the sort of sales you were asking about in the title, but figured it might be useful information. If anyone has questions, I'm happy to answer them.

The article states:

>"ZFS isn’t an option RHEL can embrace due to licensing (Ubuntu notwithstanding.)"

Can someone explain that comment to me? I understand that that ZFS is CDDL but why is this acceptable for Canonical and not Red Hat? They both have enterprise customers. Is this just differing opinions form each's legal council or does this comment imply something else?

They randomise the AZ letters, because humans tend to shove things in 'a' before anywhere else - it's a psychological load-balancer.

If you want to figure out which of your AZs corresponds to another account's AZs, you can compare spot-prices, which are individual per AZ. Also, for some reason, my account doesn't have a 'b', just a-c-d-e. Weird.
Is this really that surprising? The article mentions what I would expect: it's likely to be used for tracking how engaged the driver is in the future.

I'm a little surprised that's not in there today.

Alternate theory: do we know what it's actually looking at? Could it be used to put a few of the back seat on the touchscreen so the driver can check on the kids easily? A number of cars these days have small mirrors up by the sunglass holder to allow drivers to do this.
Interesting! Do you know anywhere I can read more about this?
That is not ignored, the article includes a simple architecture diagram that explains the standard solution to problems like this. In the diagram, you can see that there is a privileged process (labeled parent) and a sandboxed process (labeled child). The sandboxed process inherits a readonly handle to the file to scan and a handle to a pipe to communicate the scan result to the parent.

If the sandboxed process is compromised, all you can do is read a file that you already had access to (because it's your exploit), and lie about the scan result. That is not terribly exciting.

As the parent process doesn't do very much other than setup handles and read simple results from the sandboxed process, it is significantly harder to compromise.

This is the same model that browsers use. Your browser needs access to all your files to manage Downloads and so on, but all the dangerous stuff happens in the sandboxed renderer process. It is not "easier to hide from it", because the process that intercepts i/o still runs at the same privilege.
> Communism = Soviet style fascism

Any examples, at scale, where communism didn't degenerate to authoritarianism? When you keep the centralized structure of the state, you're perpetually at risk of groups hijacking it.

In liberal capitalist societies hijacking of the state is prevented (albeit imperfectly) by competing centers of power. For example, the capitalist class vs the political class. Or the jurist class vs the legislative class. Democracy alone is insufficient because once you unify these centers of power, authoritarianism is inevitable as the population as a whole is not nimble or cohesive enough to respond to usurpation of total power.

The lower classes get screwed either way, but at least in a capitalist democracy they evidently (given the past 200+ years of political history) are more capable of extracting concessions through shifting alliances.

Seems to me you either need to nurture this power struggle, or you need to dismantle the state altogether--anarchism.

Regarding socialism, is there any correct definition? Like the term democracy, I think it's fairly fluid as practical matter. But "capitalism with a strong government and nanny state" is one, fair description. I mean, doesn't that basically describe Fabian Socialism? Indeed, hasn't almost every self-described socialist government in the world almost entirely divested itself of legal ownership of the means of production over the past 40 years? I don't think it's unfair to conceive of modern socialism as a method of wealth redistribution via taxation and regulation of the capitalist economy, though that's probably over inclusive.

At some point you have to stop discussing these forms of governments as platonic ideals and focus on their actual manifestations. Their actual manifestations provide evidence about the soundness of presumptions and the viability of structural constraints.
Web-based players are usually garbage, no matter what site hosts them. This is one reason I prefer to just download the media and use dedicated, standalone players instead. They tend to be much more feature rich, stable, and configurable.

Fortunately, youtube-dl can download from Soundcloud, so I just use that.

Soundcloud has a much bigger flaw than its player: Soundcloud's ditching of groups. Without groups their site next to useless for music discovery. This is why I, as a music producer have stopped uploading content there, as it will just sit there with zero plays, compared to when groups were around, when at least some people interested in the genre could discover them. Now Soundcloud is borderline useless, except as a music storage site.
This tagline is excellent. OP, seriously consider it!

> Drop the parentheses in Lisp by switching to whitespace/geometry for syntactic structure and you suddenly have the dream language.

This has been “discovered” many times, but somehow this dream language never approaches even Lisp in popularity. (Though a loosely similar transformation of it's basic ML-based syntax is used in Haskell to reduce parens, but that's not a Lisp base.)

Possible, sure. But very few interested people are unaware that Waymo = Google = Alphabet in every sense except a technical legalistic one. I don't really think hiding the Google brand's involvement is of the sort of significance of value to justify the whole Alphabet move.

A theory of my own based on this read: A lot of questions Larry Page was asked were below "his level". Compensation, policy, etc. But presumably, as the CEO of the company when this issue started, he is deposed on it. Maybe with a higher level of vertical structure, Google and 'other bets' legal concerns will go up to the level of that subsidiary's CEO and no further. Or to say otherwise, just that creating the additional level of obfuscation moves Larry and Sergey further from being involved in day-to-day operations, which at Google's size is considerable and presumably take up a significant amount of time to be involved with.

Wow, this is great! I was convicted of a crime in my late teens and spent a few years in the federal system because of my conviction. It was an interesting process attempting to gain employment.

It warms to my heart to see jobs that are more open to people with previous convictions - they're some of the most loyal and hardworking people I've encountered.

Keep up the great work!

I don't disagree with most of what you wrote, but, IMO UBI is not a moral hazard generator. Just because you get the money doesn't incentivize you to not care about prices. It may make you less sensitive to prices, but it will need to be budgeted nonetheless. If it were infinite UBI, then yes, a free source of infinite money would create a situation where buyers are shielded from rising prices and thus don't care about them.

UBI is NOT insurance, though, and so it is difficult to argue that a limited income, even if free, creates a moral hazard that would truly cause people to no longer budget for things, any more than a salary makes you price insensitive. The quantity of the UBI seems to be the relevant factor, I guess.

What is the incentive for employers to use this site?

"Doing the right thing and second chances" doesn't count in this case because it's rare when talking business and isn't dependable.

One possible incentive, (and this is a bit concerning), is employers looking for people who can be paid less and abused more because they don't have many options.

This piece tries to argue that women are less interested in libertarianism because they are "less rationalizing-systemizing" and therefore don't "get" libertarianism, but many underlying assumptions are very weak.

For example:

> A less-empathizing/more-systematizing personality would make people more interested in the politics of effective institutions than in the politics of provisioning social welfare.

Could it not be that more women consider "the politics of provisioning social welfare" an effective institution than men? Or more generally, could it be that people who rely on welfare programs [0] have a different view of them? If you think poor people are not only poor because they deserve to be, some form of welfare is going to be part of your idea of "effective institutions".

Producing Children poses a significantly larger economic burden for women than for men (the primary cause for women receiving more welfare is their higher likelihood of being a single parent), so it is very unsurprising that they view welfare programs differently.

Alexander also implies that people who think offensive / sexist people are lowering participation of women by hurting their feelings, not by ignoring or dismissing issues that disproportionally affect women, which I find a bit odd. If libertarianism is about personal freedom there is plenty of space for issues that affect women (like abortion, freedom to wear certain types of clothing without being harassed, ...), yet I see very few libertarian talking about those issues.

I find the idea that women dislike a certain thing because of some pseudo-scientific evo-psych goop rather than economic reasons a bit absurd.

This whole debate about gender pay is based on the flawed assumption that marriage is not an integral part of human society. Humanity has functioned since time immemorial with marriage as a fundamental human institution. Sure, it's not honored in many cases, but by and large it is a part of human social fabric. Today, however, we are experimenting with disposing of time tested marital roles, instead expecting both spouses to do the same things. Business 101 would instruct you to pick a partner with an opposite skill set from what you have and each work on what they are good at. Yet today we reduce efficiency by having both man and woman split both tasks, or worse, do the task both by him or herself.

It's time that we start considering the family as a unit again.

I have nothing to add here but a positive ad-hominem: I went to high school with Tim and he's a super nice, super smart guy. When we were in HS I didn't even know he was such a cool nerd.

The rank and file employees of VC-backed companies often receive much of their pay as stock options.
The naiive approach, likely used by many of employees, would dramatically overvalue their wealth. For
example, the stock options Square issued around the time of its 2014 funding round had a strike price
of $9.11.4 The naiive approach would take Square’s 2014 financing round at $15.46 per share and view
these options as $6 in the money. Our approach shows the “fair” common share price was actually
closer to $5.62, so these options were significantly out of the money.

Seems like this paper could provide a new 409a-compliant valuation method for common stock which might help to price employee options a bit better for these later-stage companies.

I'm not sure I'd call the class explosions that a lot of people are writing these days Pythonic. Lots of older Python code was written with functions and a very occasional class.

I think my (primarily Java) project at work brings in about 50-100 external dependencies. That includes some ridiculously large frameworks, like Spring. Honestly, I don't know because I don't have dependency problems.

You know how hard it would be for me to vet the dependency if I did have a dependency problem? "mvn dependency:tree > deps.txt." It would take half the day, but I could vet them all.

I also have a Django project on the side. It has 8 dependencies. I have vetted all of them very carefully. It's smaller than the work project, but that's not the reason why it has fewer dependencies than a typical JS mess. It has fewer dependencies, because Pythonistas have a philosophy and cultural practices that produces quality software with lots of functionality included.
