That is sadly not a typical viewpoint, particularly among conservatives.
An engineer's value can be exponential and can even go well beyond their own lifespan.

Sales and marketing impact is immediate and falls off over time while engineering's impact is slow and can speed up over time.

You have to change the way money/funding is acquired, otherwise the pressure structure and hierarchy for will lead to this. This system would fall apart - in a positive way - if we have a good quality of life with Universal Basic Income. People could then work on projects without requiring an external source of funding, and so then the best projects/platforms/systems could evolve over 5, 10, even 20 years - without pressure from VCs wanting any return at all.

VCs have limited attention and those who are best at being loudest are likely to capture that available attention - similarly some people try to win arguments by being louder and making more noise than others.
> Blender isn't an App that anyone should be able to use.

See. This is the problem. It's just an excuse. I'm not saying it is possible to make Blender so intuitive that my mum could use it, but you shouldn't start from "this is a complex app so we don't need to make it user friendly".

Ooo I just thought of an even better example - Kicad vs DesignSpark PCB. Both complex software, but one is about a million times more easy to use.
> I wish it layed out a path of how to build an industry that doesn't attract all those ambitious selfish (executives) people

Given that ten thousand years of human history have utterly failed to produce any system at any point in time where the value-makers are rewarded over the salespeople, I don't think any such system can be made. At least executive positions aren't quite at the level of a winner-takes-all competition and you have a plausible chance of making it to that level.

I'm not saying they couldn't do it - unlike South Korea, China doesn't care too much for the welfare of the population beyond the basic subsistence level, and has enough resources to avoid outright starvation in NK if they took over. I am saying there's no reason for them to take over, because they now already have all the benefits of control with none of responsibilities of it. It would be literally stupid for them to do it unless they face the imminent danger of either losing control (thus Korean War) or having a hot and possible nuclear war on their borders (thus agreeing to put the leash on Kim, for a suitable price of course).

>What do the 'wealthy' look like in NK?

Suki Kim's “Without You, There Is No Us” (2014) offers a perspective from the time she spent there.

>What do they do on a daily basis, for work, fun, etc? It just seems to isolated

They are mostly isolated to Pyongyang where they live bureaucratic lifestyles.

>what do they do for fun/enjoyment/entertainment purposes

Not much. They basically are confined to the city. The make a comfortable living and spend their whole lives trying to please KJU.

>how will this impact that?

If the economic impact is extensive, then it would inhibit their ability to support the regime, and that would hurt morale all around Pyongyang.

Yes, yes and yes. Logged in after a long time to up vote on this. I think it takes 2-3 years for people to "get it." As you have mentioned it is indeed depressing. On the flip side, 40% of the employees are slacking off, another 40% is tinkering with their ideas (thereby not giving 100% to their employers), and the remaining 20% are still in that 2-3 years of getting it. It's not surprising that most startups and companies prey on these youngsters of the trade.

p.s. That was rather negative response. May be it's the ecosystem and how things are.

p.p.s. Good post and stuffs like this should be taught in CS schools.
Personally, I'm grateful that it isn't a comic. Between some stick figures plus a diagram and just the plain diagram, I'll take the latter. Comics might help writers order their thoughts because due to the constrained and sequential nature of speech bubbles, but generally they don't add much to the explanation itself.
I don't mean to argue since this is entirely personal and different for other people. If that's the dynamic you have and everyone is happy, great. My point was I thought that's the dynamic we had, but it really wasn't. I became aware of it and made an effort to share the effort.
In this life you're either a soldier for someone, a leader for someone, or a dead man.
I can understand why you'd feel that way. Venting like this is usually really bad for the kind of discussion we're hoping for here (the thoughtful kind!) but your comment interestingly makes up for it by being grounded in personal experience. That makes the feeling easier to relate to. It seems more genuine.

I think you might be under a mis-impression of what Hacker News is. It's for stories that gratify intellectual curiosity, and definitely not just about technology. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Face stickers of the 18th century French aristocracy, to mention just one recent submission, are quite on topic.

Does this story do that? Well it's complicated but yes I think it does in part. The thread is surprisingly non-horrible (edit: or was when I saw it, anyhow) and the concept of emotional labor is intellectually interesting, even if the article does hit some bruised areas and is trollishly packaged. That makes it an exception to the rule, which is also interesting in a meta sort of way.

> Yes there will probably be a minor uptick in merchants being dishonest. But I doubt it will be as bad...

Simply wishful thinking. If that were the case consumer protections never would have been a very interesting feature. But they are. Especially for ecommerce.

> Your argument is like saying in the early days of Blu-ray that "no one will buy Blu-ray discs...

No and I clearly stated otherwise. Apple Pay is more like launching a new disc standard that is compatible with millions of existing players already deployed, compared to one that requires brand new hardware and has fewer features. No contest.

You also ignored -- probably because it is in your interest to ignore it -- that the reason merchants have no incentive to adopt is that nobody uses it. Payments are a two-sided market. Advances need to offer benefits to both sides of the market. You've only cited an advantage to one side, the merchant, which comes directly at the cost of a regression in benefits to the other side, the consumer.

Bitcoin as it stands is a major regression in consumer benefits, and you've only managed to cite one extremely narrow case where it offers any advantage whatsoever (no transaction limits or approval step). This is nowhere near enough to offer a compelling value proposition to consumers.

As for P2P, your own use case was sending lunch money. You've offered nothing to suggest that Apple Pay won't dominate this category. You're also incorrect in your "guarantee" about delays in access to funds; they are debit transactions that process instantly.
Yeah. I'm sincerely glad that the majority of people here somehow have never lived in a world where that exists. But I (and many others) were not so fortunate.

I mean, where do people think all those pocket protector nerd jokes came from? Thin air? Or--dare I provoke more downvotes--was it because people were bullied for having them?

I'm not _endorsing_ bullying by simply acknowledging scenarios where it exists. I kind of miss the 90's even more now. Because it was acceptable to talk about, and sing about on the radio; the darker things of life like getting bullied, being a failure, being used in a relationship "I'm just a suck'er with no self-esteeem! ohh wayyy ohhhh", and so on.
Yes, but the main question is: what for?
You can't use it even to do what it's been created for: writing iOS apps (maybe some backend modules if you're obstinate enough). There is a great choice of languages in Linux with rich libraries and vibrant communities - why on Earth should I choose Swift?

> 7. If you have a product that a very large company really wants, they'll still do everything they can to delay purchasing it for the market price. They'll try to hire you or your partner(s) away individually, or they'll wait as long as possible to see if you encounter hard financial times and go under. They won't come and just offer to license your product or buy you out until they've exhausted all other possibilities.

This is the opposite of normal enterprise sales in my experience (we do HR software). If you are talking to the right person, and you have a solution to their business problem at a suitable price (not too high, not too low) then the very last thing they want to do is to kill the deal with these kinds of shenanigans.

Selling to programmers though is the opposite, and frankly is to be avoided at all costs.

About a year ago or so I was bitten by the Lisp and Smalltalk bugs, and since then I've become very interested in Lisp machines, particularly Symbolics machines running the Genera operating system. I'm in my late 20's and thus I wasn't around when Lisp machines were in their heyday; however, I believe that it's sad how the proverbial baby (Lisp OSes such as Genera) was thrown out with the bathwater (Lisp machines) when Lisp machines were gradually replaced with Unix workstations in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It would have been nice had Genera or another Lisp OS been ported to the x86 instead of Lisp users having to switch to Unix. Sometimes I even dream of an alternative history where RMS embarked on a GNU-licensed Lisp operating system instead of GNU.

I wonder what type of legal challenges are inherent in making Genera open source? My limited understanding of the situation is that the IP of Symbolics is held up in an odd manner due to the dissolution of the company, but I don't know all of the details. It would be nice if Genera were open source and ported to the x86-64. Barring that, a free software clone of Genera would be nice, but it may be a substantial implementation effort.

Obviously I didn't mean THE contributing factor to their success but it sure as hell saves a lot of money in development costs. ;)
I'd say it's just that the specific wording has Supreme Court precedence to back up its' validity, and while they would probably look favorably upon making it clearer for children, rewriting it because it doesn't seem clear enough would entail too much cities battling the courts for small changes. Leniency and interpretation is something that many in society agree upon when it comes to children, but the argument becomes a lot harder for adults.
I don't disagree it's not for general web pages, but it's more than fine for any non-trivial app. Downloads less data than 60 seconds of YouTube. The runtime is CDN shared, so the more apps that use it, the less it will matter.
It sounds like a bit of a fine line between (in the author's case) taking responsibility for managing HIS emotions for HER complaints towards him, and your example, which is more like emotional blackmail.
I link the designers product page for the house in the thread. It's clearly a side wall of a container, it's just an interior wall of the structure.
I don't know, but the cost that session tickets are saving are almost entirely an externality to clients, and the privacy benefit of not honoring tickets isn't, so there would seem to be some value to a Chrome extension that busted that cache.

The things that are priorities in the USA have always puzzled me. Students pay an absolutely insane amount of money for an education that is very mediocre. It is clear that the American education is failing. About half of the population voted for a man who does not believe in science. But somehow, the main priorities for universities seems to be enforcing diversity and gender-neutral pronouns?

I am not saying that thinking about this is wrong, there is just a deep disconnect with the realities that people live in, and many people seem to have a problem viewing things from another perspective.

FWIW, I packaged Envoy for NixOS in an evening: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/dab3272f47f13c2a7442e3...

That nets you

$ nix-build -A envoy

... and then you're done. Of course, we have a CI server that builds our packages regularly, so it's likely you wouldn't even need to build from source (though you certainly could, if desired).
since they're keen on intervals I wonder if they'll provide interval algebra

if a..b ∩ ..<c:
My spouse has assumed the responsibility for ensuring that the family has a dinner every evening. I have assumed the responsibility for ensuring that every individual family member is capable of providing their own dinner from available materials every evening, if they choose to eat a dinner.

This is "give a man a fish" versus "teach him how to fish".

In this, we are at cross-purposes. I can prepare salubrious meals. I rarely have the opportunity to do so, because the spouse oversupplies the household needs, such that on days when no meal is freshly prepared, there are still 3 to 4 different choices for which leftovers to eat.

I frequently get asked about what requests I have for the grocery shopping. My response is always "get nothing", because our standards for the conditions differ so widely. This is not "get nothing specifically for me," but "do not go grocery shopping at all." When I look in the pantry and see enough food to last for three months, my spouse sees the same, and thinks "OMFG, we literally have nothing to eat; I need to buy more food right now." I could draw up an inventory and 90 meal plans using nothing but what we have on hand, and hear, "We're not eating that."

In a sense, the burden of that "emotional labor" is piled upon a great sleigh of my spouse's own making. I cannot explain, "You should not be worrying about doing this, because this is a thing that no one needs to do." It gets done anyway. Often, the emotional and communications effort of worrying about doing the thing, or convincing me to do the thing, is greater than the actual physical effort of actually doing it and being satisfied with the result.

Like some cousin posts, I often have no specific preference for what I may eat for dinner. I will literally eat garbage (if it's on top--the Costanza rule). As such, about any restaurant with a food safety inspection score rated at "Waffle House" or higher works for me. In the rare instance where I actually do want something specific, my suggestion is usually countermanded by, "I don't want that. Pick something else." You can imagine my "WTF face".

It is largely self-flagellation. The only way I could ease the burden is by taking away my spouse's freedom to make those irrational choices, which results in a different set of problems. Or maybe by springing for some deluxe anxiety counseling. In this instance, choosing the restaurant is like volunteering to wash a compulsive hand-washer's hands once a day. Even if you are a surgery nurse, and have perfect scrub-in technique, your hand-washing will not relieve the emotional burden, because the irrational compulsion is still there. It's not something you can share.
I stand corrected.

I still think that a public official holding an inspirational speech doesn't hold any value though, out there in the material world. It's sad that many people believe in this propaganda of sorts and integrate it as one of the mottos in their lives. :(
It leads to more false positives. Following the derivation from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter), if we have a bloom filter with k hash functions, m bits, and contains n elements, the probability of a false positive is

(1 - (1 - 1/m)^(kn))^n ~ (1 - exp(-nk/m))^k

With your idea (let's call that Bloom Filter'), we have k hash tables with m/k bits each, so the probability of an element of one of the hash tables being 1 with n elements is 1 - (1 - k/m)^n, so the odds that 1 random position in each of the k hash sets is 1 (i.e. a false positive) is:

(1 - (1 - k/m)^n)^k ~ (1 - exp(-nm/k))^k

Which is very similar, we just switched k/m with m/k inside that exponential. So which has a lower false positive rate for m and k? We do some algebra, assuming that your Bloom Filter' has a lower false positive rate than the regular Bloom Filter, and try to get a contradiction:

(1 - exp(-nm/k))^k < (1 - exp(-nk/m))^k

1 - exp(-nm/k) < 1 - exp(-nk/m)

exp(-nk/m) < exp(-nm/k)

-nk/m < -nm/k

m/k < k/m

m^2 < k^2

m < k

This is a contradiction, because if we have fewer bits than hash functions, we'll wind up with hash tables of size 0. Thus, Bloom Filter' leads to a worse false positive rate than regular Bloom Filters.

P.S. I just did the math in the last 10 minutes, so there could be mistakes. This also only shows your system is less accurate if it has the same m and k as a regular bloom filter, but maybe your system becomes more accurate if using a different value of k. I'm checking that possibility now.

UPDATE: interesting. I tried to find the optimum value of k given n and m for bloom filter' (for regular bloom filters the optimum k = m / n log(2)). But for bloom filter' there is no local or global minimum, only a maximum at k = m (where everything is a false positive). For k < m the false positive value is decreasing, so the optimum under those constraints is k = 1. Which is the same as a regular bloom filter with just 1 hash. Thus, the bloom filter' will never outperform a regular bloom filter with optimal k. The false positive probability for bloom filter' for optimal k=1 is:

1 - (1 - 1/m)^n ~ 1 - exp(-n/m)
yeah, except they're probably just going to use it to streamline their operations ... in order to schedule logistics with their existing contractors ;)
Do you think that the entire space "is a bubble" as in, "cryptocurrency itself will go away one day." Or did you mean "is in a bubble" as in, "the price will drop significantly someday."
>That is sadly not a typical viewpoint, particularly among conservatives.

I consider those people as more GOP enthusiasts than conservatives. An example of a true conservative would be someone like Tucker Carlson or Rand Paul. It's sort of like how antifa doesn't represent the majority of democrat voters I have encountered. They are a slim minority of loud voices that muddy the waters.
Nobody is calling you useless. Clearly, you've done your share (quite possibly, more than your share) of emotional labor / domestic work in your relationship. But surely you know that you are defying norms here? Statistically speaking, those burdens do fall on women far more often than on men: http://blogs.reuters.com/equals/2014/03/12/more-work-and-les...

It's not the greatest article in the world, but the main message, that women are expected to perform unacknowledged emotional labor to a higher degree than men, is largely valid, even if the author's examples were not the greatest. Even from a young age women are pushed into emotional labor. For example, the only "odd jobs" I was ever offered as a pre-teen were for babysitting, which is a very emotionally demanding job (kids are jerks) that I hated. I wasn't even paid at minimum wage because I just didn't know any better at that age, and despite asking around, I couldn't get any gigs for different work. Meanwhile my male peers got neighbors asking them to mow lawns and clean cars, which I would have greatly preferred to chasing little jerks around and making them happy enough to not complain to their parents about everything.

From a software dev perspective, I usually see this come through in the form of unequal expectations placed on male vs female PMs. I remember overhearing a colleague describe a highly professional PM to a new dev candidate as as the "Team Mom". Now, I've never ever heard anyone call a male PM call "Team Dad". But because this PM happened to be female, a parent, and not emotionally idiotic, they would always make her take the burden for working out inter-personal conflict, even for teams she wasn't responsible for. She had tons of other work, and there were male PMs and managers who could have assisted, but none of them would. They would just wait for things to get terrible and then throw a meeting at her about "conflict resolution". She hated it, but was afraid that she wouldn't be seen as a team-player if she didn't go along with it, so she just did it.

So that's another example of why emotional labor stinks and does disproportionately impact women, even in tech. Fortunately, the easiest way to fix this is just to pay attention and notice when it happens, in other words, perform emotional labor to notice when emotional labor is not equal. If you're doing that, great, this article wasn't about you.

Doesn't mean that the author was wrong for calling out a pattern of inequality that can be identified, or that HN readers are wrong for taking interest and engaging with her arguments. I suggest you perform some emotional labor on yourself right now, because this article is really not about you or your feelings at all. It's about a widespread pattern of inequality that impacts women disproportionately.
>It's real and I decided to do take up more of this emotional labor in life.
