Once robots can fix the shelving problems cheaper than humans then they will replace those jobs.

As it stands total cost to fix an individual shelving problem likely dropped. In this case it'd be surprising if Walmart employed more people to fix shelving problems, but in other contexts we may have seen induced demand for more employees because the ROI for employee time improved.

Not all increases in efficiency reduce the # of total jobs, we should expect to see the total # of jobs increase in some circumstances.

They are in fact planning to do just that - put more office space in that zone, which will create demand for housing in SF (the nearest major residential area) rather than adding housing. And in the past, they've blocked a proposal that would have added 70K residential units.

The attitude is essentially, "I've got mine, let's pull the ladder up after me and deny anyone else affordable housing."
Manila, Mumbai, Dhaka? Nothing against any of them but they're usually not what people are thinking about when they're extolling the benefits of density. You also need to be careful with city density numbers in general. For example, the 55K/sq. mi. Paris number that gets thrown around is specifically for the core of the core.
Give any company enough time. If you want to describe four strategies a company has used to become a shining success, your list could be Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft and Microsoft. If you want to describe four ways a company has really screwed up and was punished by the market and/or the government, your list could also be Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft and Microsoft.

You can probably replace Microsoft with Apple or Google without much trouble too (but it's trivial for Microsoft).

There are plenty of people out there with valuable skills that get overlooked. And yes it's unfortunate, but think about it from the recruiters perspective. They try to maximize their ROI on candidates. Filtering by ones with a degree increases the probability of hiring a candidate, so it's just an easy way to make hiring more efficient. Just need to set yourself apart in some way, maybe by having some github projects or a portfolio to share, and lack of degree should be less of a hurdle.
In its heyday HP did this. Look at places like Roseville and Fort Collins. Essentially company towns. And while the going is good, and the quarterly numbers keep going up, everything is great.

But eventually the bad times come, and the employees living in these places are cast off like so many worn shoes, along with their families.

I've seen this. I'm never moving out of the SF Bay Area until well after retirement (and maybe not even then :-). Going to a Kansas City HQ is a gamble that whatever company will always do well. Do you want to gamble your future on that ? Do you want to gamble your family on that ?

It's more common in the US for government to mean all three branches. It seems to be more common in parliamentary countries for government to mean just the legislative branch (and possibly, when present, the monarch's implied consent?).

This is a point of confusion here, because this is a US based discussion site. So US persons say 'the government suppressed the election', Spain persons say 'no, the government didn't do it, the courts did it'.

To the US person objecting, it doesn't make a huge difference if judicial, legislative, or executive is suppressing an election -- suppressing an election is bad. How can a vote be illegal? Certainly the referendum may not be legal, and that should be decided by the courts, but we're not used to that being decided before holding the vote.

But do you have a word for the whole of government in the US sense? I can't think of something that's not awkward.

Edit to add: In the US sense, government also includes military and police. In the US those are mostly part of the executive branch, but may act at the direction of the judicial or legislative branches. In some countries the military is an effectively separate branch of government.
We are already seeing that Uber/Lyft are causing declines in the usage of public transit, and there could actually be decreasing appetite for public transit investment. Compared to the rest of the US, the Bay Area is actually already pretty good when it comes to fraction of workers commuting by transit (#2 or #3 after New York City and possibly Washington, D.C.). Unfortunately, I find that most people are all in favor of other people using public transportation so that they can drive where they want to go faster. Transit only gains massive adoption for particular commutes where it is substantially faster than driving.
Largely because "50.1%", living hundreds or thousands of miles away, took to bossing the "49.9%" secessionists around.

It also involved imposing a massive moral change with enormous economic consequences, which people understandably had some objections to. Ending slavery as a primary institution was costly.
From the /r/tor thread System33 posted a comment[0] originally by Alec Muffet explaining why Facebook set up a TOR service, which may answer some of your questions:

Why would anyone run a legal onion service?

Thanks Alec Muffett (OP) for the following summary copied from this comment

Understandably folk tend to think "Anonymity!" when talking about Tor Onions, but in rolling out the Facebook onion we established several clear benefits:

1. better and safer experience for people accessing over Tor: no interference by exit nodes, no bandwidth-contention for exit nodes, no use of exit nodes at all.

2. "good neighbour" - reciprocally, popular sites can unload themselves from eating up scarce exit-node bandwidth.

3. "a peace offering" - people (continue to) use Facebook over Tor; 3 years ago we saw 500,000/month, more recently ~1 million. Overwhelmingly we found (through measurement and assessment) that people using Facebook over Tor were ordinary folk wanting to do ordinary things. especially in times of political crisis. Providing a metaphorical "olive branch" showed that we value their use of the site.

4. Discretion & Trust. Onion Sites are considered to be about "Anonymity", but really they offer two more features: Discretion (eg: your employer or ISP cannot see what you are browsing, not even what site) and trust (if you access facebookcorewwwi.onion you are definitely connected to Facebook, because of the nature of Onion addressing; no DNS or CA shenanigans are applicable.)

Nice to see someone I can agree with. Sure there's plenty of beautiful Victorian homes in San Francisco, but there's a lot of shitty ones that need to be razed too. SF doesn't need all these 3-4 story, 3-4 BR single family homes with tiny unusable garages - it needs taller denser and modern apartment complexes with a nice park in the middle.

All but about 1/8th of the city is just a sprawling suburb.
> I'm going to need you to walk me so I can see how that part you quoted implies that the code being correct doesn't matter.

Well, that quote was your entire sentence. It wasn't out of context. So:

> every time the code changes, it would be great if a test somewhere broke

There isn't anything anywhere about the code being incorrect. Thus it is irrelevant.

About the types, their entire point is that they save you from writing the tests. What the compiler proves, you do not test. If your compiler won't prove anything, you'll have to write all the tests.

As an example, you forgot to test if `'nos': ("", None)` yields the correct error.
If we added bus lanes they way they do in other countries, it would address the traffic problem. But we always favor the lone-commuter-in-car.
"It doesn't seem like the end of the world if you lose a little wheat with the chaff."

But is it losing a little or a lot? No way to tell without looking.

Even if it misses just a little, that little bit might have been crucial. If it misclassifies "NYC NUKED!!!" as uninteresting that's a single mistake that could make me oblivious to a hugely consequential event.

Of course, as a human classifier, I'll doubtlessly making my own mistakes, and maybe the AI classifier could help me out by pre-classifying articles for me, but it could also be misleading and will cost me in terms of spending time on training and maintenance. I'm not really sure what the right solution is here.
that is just the BBC being BBC, i mean nothing short of a highly detailed analysis showing their bias against India would even change the image to a western crowd about an issue like this.

As an Indian, India's performance in the PISA test is simultaneously both humiliating and horrifying. India ended up near the bottom of the test when it first took it. Cause for concern? Sure! What did the government of India do? They pulled out of the test citing that it was "unfair" to the Indian students. Around 70 odd nations apparently didn't have this problem.

I have come to think that the country barely has a government at all. We're somehow coping amidst the chaos.
I didn't say that. 45k is just the midpoint in density between Nob Hill and Telegraph Hill. Seems like a good target for the baylands neighborhood.

Brisbane's city report from 2013 states there were ~6,500 jobs in the city. Add in children, unemployed, retired, etc... and that accounts for many times more residents than can actually live in Brisbane. Which means Brisbane is contributing heavily to the housing problem in the Bay Area.

I do live here, but I've also lived in the far east. There is no comparison. We see cranes in a few places, mainly SoMa, that is not sufficient. We should see building along geary, van ness, sunset Blvd, third, Octavia, California, etc.,etc.
This doesn't align with my experience. I just interviewed with Amazon a few days ago, just testing the waters to see what's going on in the rest of the world, and it was very 'leetcode'-ish. So much so that I ended up just telling the recruiter I wasn't interested in the position anymore. One question more or less required me to code up a BST from scratch and traverse it. I felt like I was back in my undergraduate algorithms class.

If I ever really needed another job, I guess I'd have to suck it up and refresh myself on that stuff. That's a shame.
That's not really worthy of an article, that's common sense. Everyone knows that there are a hundred different ways to fix climate change, but none of them are feasible or cost effective. A few advocates love for nature doesn't make the business decisions, the love for money by the CEOs of company's behind the biggest sources of pollution do.

People do need jobs. I wasn't talking about grocery stores. It was specifically the behavior related to depositing checks.

Also there is a difference between a rationalization for a behavior and the actual behavior. Usually the rationale is actually created afterwards. Although certainly some people must have created a deliberate policy to support employment or simply out of preference for human interaction. But my supposition was just about the check depositing.

Regardless, keeping people in menial jobs is not optimal for them or for consumers and almost certainly not a policy that will generally persist when more capable AIs are available.
There's a difference between the major park in a major city that is used by thousands of people a day, and that shitty town of 5k people that doesn't want anyone else to move in. Shit, there are more people in GGP right now than there will be all week in Brisbane.

At the same time it's not like Brisbane isn't building. They just aren't building housing, because they want to build commercial so they can get the taxes without having to get the population increase.
This seems like a problem you can solve, though, by actually interacting with your coworkers and manager and demonstrating the value of what you do. What's keeping you from doing that?
In my opinion, Graphs seem hard to understand. For example, I wanted to compare "Greatly Trust" part of Amazon vs Your Bank in the first graph, but since both "Greatly Trust" sections start and end at different places, I can only compare them based on my raw senses but to me they look exactly equal, even if there might be a small difference.

Your post just made me shudder. There's nothing I can say or do to stop my PM from calling those exact meetings. I've gone so far as to say, "I'm already working with [dept rep 1] and [dept rep 2], they're both being extremely responsive and actively working on solving this problem with me. There's no need to take action." The immediate response is to call a meeting, bring in extra business people, and call it a "working session" that ultimately slows progress and increases confusion because now the tech people have to continually translate what we're doing into non-tech speech.
The engine may be 90% efficient, but the charger is only 95% efficient, and the electric grid is only 90% efficient. And then the coal power plant that generates all that electricity is only 40% efficient.

All of a sudden, combustion engines are better in overall efficiency. Transporting liquid fuel and distributing it has major efficiency benefits.

It doesn't help with scaling (you can have multi-car trains but it's much harder to have multi-car busses) or max speed, but it would certainly be an improvement over the current situation!
I guess that's what happens when you give autonomy to trusts to commission/contract their IT as they see fit.

You could argue it is part of a political movement to create a free market around healthcare, which has seen healthcare trusts and CCGs (clinical commissioning groups) seek contracts for services that were previously provided by the NHS - car parking, waste disposal, laundry cleaning, cleaning services, sterile services, pharmacy, hospital buildings, payroll, finance, PET and MRI scanners etc etc..

There are relatively few things left that are commissioned on a national level. Nurses and doctors contracts, drugs (which gives huge purchasing power and very favourable prices for expensive drugs compared to small countries), clinical healthcare services which manage particular conditions. ok I'm struggling to think of more.

> The coalition government wanted to accelerate patient choice and competition, consistent with the wider belief that competition in public services drives improvement. The government’s critics recognised that competition was not new, but were concerned that the NHS reforms would result in much greater involvement of for-profit companies in the NHS.
-King's fund

There was previously a very expensive (~£10bn) project to implement a national IT patient notes system, which was abandoned.[1]

As someone else has mentioned (re NHSbuntu), it would be great of all that money had been put into something that could be developed further, even if it couldn't solve all the problems at the time.

Our local hospital (Queen Elizabeth, Birmingham) have a nice bit of software called 'PICS', which is one of the best I've used. It's fast, allows for electronic prescribing, note taking in clinic, ability to view results and viewing vital signs. But I don't think it has been sold to any other healthcare trusts, so it is essentially a stand-alone product at that trust.

In my experience this doesn't work really well because although it solves the problem for the people in the meeting, most organizations don't have a culture of documentation to actually write down what was talked about in the meeting.

As you grow, it's almost inevitable someone who would find that information useful won't be there because of a multitude of reasons (sick, traveling, stuck in another meeting).
I've been thinking about moving my Kontakt libraries to a fast SSD. Would you see a difference noticeable between this and Samsung 960 for that purpose?
There's a LOT of people in Catalonian independence movement (or nationalists).

I guess some are in for the economic advantages. Others are in because they feel culturally different. Others because Spain is too right wing. Or because they think its their historical right. Or because the new country would be better managed. Or because an independent Catalonia can better help the peoples of the world against the tyrants of capitalism and open their borders to immigrants (true story). And I guess some are in because they need to be in a team and relate to other people.

For most there will be a mixture of reasons (good and bad). The Spanish government torpedoed and blocked initiatives for more autonomy in the past fueling this feelings above the tipping point.

Many of the real problems behind were probably addressable within an evolved Constitutional frame which the defenders of the unity of Spain never cared to look at.

Note that independence does not necessarily mean economic advantage for Catalonia. In the EU they would have to help poorer EU countries. Outside of it they would not have access to the common market (they'd probably need to become a tax heaven).
What do we learn about development from baby robots?
This is what bothers me whenever I hear people rave about the future that driverless cars will finally make possible. They basically list your win-win list: far fewer cars, more pedestrian areas, etc. That might all be true, but we don't to wait for self-driving cars for that! Just build reliable public transportation just like countless cities have already done.
> What you describe is the typical mindset against TDD, it's difficult to explain the benefits, and really you just have to experience them for yourself. Changing your mindset is difficult, I know, why change what works right? My only tip is to keep an open mind about it, as TDD benefits are often not apparent to begin with, they only come after a couple of days work or weeks or months later or even years later.

I've been forced to follow TDD for several years and also been given the same kind of comments to downplay any reasoned arguments against it which I find frustrating to be honest. I don't see why the benefits wouldn't be immediately apparent.

> You find that you need to do less mental work, as your tests make the required abstractions apparent for you. 'the minimum thing that makes the test pass' ends up being the complete solution, with full test coverage. Any refactoring done is safe from regressions, because of your comprehensive test suite. And when other colleagues inevitably break your code, you already have a test lying in wait to catch them in the act.

You can do all of the above by writing tests at the end and checking code coverage as well.

Because it was never meant for production at all.
"The result of the computation is also stored in the memory devices, and in this sense the concept is loosely inspired by how the brain computes."

For anyone who is interested in a simple model of how the brain does this, check out "associative memories". The basic idea is that networks of neurons both store memory (in their synapses) and perform the computations to retrieve or recall those memories.

A simple example is the Hopfield network, a single layer of neurons that are recurrently connected with a specific update function: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopfield_network

Another is two layers of neurons that are reciprocally connected called a Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_associative_memo...

That's why. Memristor articles were all over the news for a bit, but have died down as either companies realized they're too hard to manufacturer or companies have quietly plodded toward making them competitive.

Oh man I forgot about Planetside 2! Super underrated, it came out in a huge FPS glut in the market. I dig huge combined arms stuff but man I used to die to snipers in that game so much haha.
OTOH, real estate prices are extremely inflated. The immediate effect of new housing would be a deluge of property tax revenue. I would guess that it'd take at least 10-20 years for the net negative effects of Prop 13 to take hold, perhaps longer. But because of increased density (lower infrastructure cost per unit), they'd probably still be ahead of where they are now.

I think it's fair to say that the real calculus in Brisbane is simply opportunity cost: they get a better ROI with commercial than residential. And this calculus simply makes it easier to defend anti-development sentiment, which is really what it all comes down to.
Indeed. For years now I've been using HN as a proxy news filter, based on the assumption that if something actually important happens - like a war or a deadly earthquake - it'll get on HN, and all the rest of the news can be safely discarded. It generally works pretty well for me.
Maybe a better metric is number of monthly users from consumer ISP IPs?
You could do this as well:

Repo.insert! %Post{title: "Awesome Post", slug: "awesome-post", category_id: 3}

If you don't need flexibility. Well, usually that's bad idea - you'd want to carefully handle what's can be mass-assigned and what should be carefully set by hand.
In case of ecto, you'd do:

%Post{user_id: current_user.id}
|> Post.changeset(attributes)
|> Repo.insert

In case of rails/AR you'll use strong params (or alternatives)

Post.create(post_params.merge(user_id: current_user.id))

def post_params
params.require(:post).permit(:title, :slug, : category_id)
end
