Cities in Kansas and Alabama may be struggling, but San Francisco has a strong local economy due to the tech industry and it spends a lot more money than most cities. Here's San Francisco's budget expenditures per resident, as compared to other cities:

SF: $11,600
DC: $11,000
NYC: $9,800
Seattle: $7,950
Portland: $7,454
Austin: $4,114
Chicago: $3,626
Philly: $2,810
Dallas: $2,367
LA: $2,313
Columbus: $1,035

Lots of money spent and very little to show for it.
Ok...but you didn't leave because of ideology, you left because you wanted to start a family and housing here is unaffordable, right? Which is also why people leave, not because of beliefs.
My father has a favorite story from his childhood. His best friend was over eating, and they were having porkchops which was a big deal in my father's house at the time.

There was one extra after everyone had their first, and my grandfather asked aloud if anyone wanted the last, with his fork already poised over the porkchop.

My father's best friend said "Yeah, thanks Mr. XYZ!" and snatched it out from under my grandfather's fork.

Not really contrary to your point, of course. It's a favorite story of my father's specifically because his friend broke the implicit code of "does anyone want this."

We are Britons in Britain. There is no one living here by the name of Average Joe. There are a lot of cameras here, many more than than some other places apparently. The vast majority of those cameras are in town and city centres or on the motorways. It is possible that in Britain we are able to count better (and publish) than some other regions and hence look bad in this regard - who knows.

I don't feel more "surveilled" here than I do in say Italy, France or the US (all of which I am pretty familiar with). I will say that I do feel looked upon when driving along the M42, south of Birmingham, there are a lot of cameras there but that area is a massive cross-road for the UK and an obvious place to want to keep an eye on.

Yes, that's true. Again this is the percentage thing I mentioned—the study is not claiming that more white and Asian men leave because of unfair treatment than women, it's claiming that of those who leave, more white and Asian men report unfair treatment as a motivation than women do.

This is a fun read (fair warning: you should have some understanding of monoids and monads before reading) and further validates my hypothesis that understanding category theory would make me a more effective engineer.

If you've had the joy of constructing useful shell pipelines, and part of it is in the ease of knowing how it will behave. this is a nice formal statement that the underlying reasons WHY it just “feels right” are because of category theory--which means if I can just learn category theory, I’ll have a new tool for approaching and factoring problems that will be, technically speaking, hella useful.

"we talk about someone earning a salary in the top 5%"

You seem to be using the word "rich" the way Chris Rock uses the word "wealthy".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeOUty4SWvI

I don't know many people who would consider someone at the 96% percentile of income as "rich". Even folks at the 99% are still basically just upper middle class. If you have a high paying job such that you've got 2 homes and and a few nice cars and all your kids are going to expensive private schools then you are simply upper middle class. Being wealthy suggests that you possess such capital that you've never had to work. Work is entirely optional. If you never work, you will still continue to grow more wealthy, because the assets you own continue to accrue profits.

If you look at the Forbes list of richest 400 people, it tends to be a handful of tech people, plus a whole lot of people who inherited their wealth, plus obvious criminals such as the oligarchs who stole much of the wealth of Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Of those who inherited their money, then obviously all of their money comes from luck. Of those who are criminals, we can admire their entrepreneurial skills, but remember they are sociopaths who have broken the law and who have sometimes killed people. Also, the collapse of the Soviet Union can be viewed as pure luck, as they had nothing to do with it.
Off topic: I am legit interested to know how paywall sites get to the front page of HN. I wouldn't have guessed that the WSJ has a team of people to upvote their content to the front page, but now I'm second guessing that assumption. Or, does HN have some hidden allegiance with certain news agencies that lets paywall content through? Obviously TechCrunch gets in free, since it's used for YCombinator startup advertising, but the WSJ surprises me.
We have to be careful throwing around words like "luck" too much. Success is a combination of good choice and luck. Those good choices are very important to emphasize because that's what we have control over.

Given the success, it's also important to try improve others' odds. But good choices should also be respected.

Note that hard work may or may not be a good choice; and if it is, it's one good choice among many.
In a multi-party system, I would agree with your implication. But when you have a system with only two realistic choices, it is possible to vote for a candidate because you think the other one is even worse, without endorsing the candidate you voted for.
Oops! I only saw the other child, who was replying with links. My apologies. My comment will stand unedited so people don't get confused about your reply.
Why your configuration needs a schema
Developing countries have different influences on job choice than wealthier/Western countries. Countries in Scandinavia typically have high gender disparity between the sexes in most occupations, because they are wealthy enough that men and women can choose what kind of jobs they take rather than doing whatever earns the most money. Developing countries are biased towards survival-jobs, as it were, rather than enjoyment-jobs. If this is correct then we can expect the developing countries to slowly increase in disparity as they become wealthier.
Toyota Prius software fix may reduce fuel efficiency, experts say
Sure. A couple of comments only:

The example you give of fields is a good one, but one counter-example of an area where playing around doesn't help much if at all, doesn't really affect the question whether you can learn maths by programming, to which the answer 'No' seems wrong to me. If one person is blind, it doesn't mean nobody can see. Sure, you can't learn all of it. But the other extreme, where you seem to be saying, you can't learn anything—which saying things like that you can't learn a particular piece of maths from programming "until you’ve already learned it" seem close to—seems equally wrong to me. In the area you're talking about, sure, it's hard to see how computers would help ones intuition. But that's very far from meaning that all areas are like that.

Also, you're talking about problems, homework - answering other peoples' questions. I didn't have that in mind, but learning, exploring for oneself. And in areas where no-one knows the why, one is exploring the what, how things work. I think you're just thinking of abstract areas where that's not really possible, but in a lot of areas it absolutely is.

But yes, I think we're not disagreeing so much as talking and focussing on different aspects/areas of mathematics. And probably you know muuch more maths than I do, and possibly mucking around with computers is of less use in the higher realms than in the lowly plains I inhabit. But still, I can't help thinking that the problem with thinking that knowledge is exhausted by know-that (know-how disregarded as not real/important because can't be written down explicitly, as diagnosed in Rationalism in Politics) is a part of thinking that the things that you say, correct as they are, fit together into any kind of argument that programming is of no use in learning mathematics. But it seems we have entirely different levels/areas in mind.

Thanks for the comments, very interesting.
Nice. from that Wiki article:

An alternative to using leaky feeder in underground railways is to use Distributed Antenna System (DAS). A DAS system was deployed in some New York City Subway stations by Transit Wireless to provide WiFi and mobile phone and data coverage for customers.

I wonder what the pros and cons are for each solution.
It's curious because these leaders obviously don't care much about nutrition, itself a possible problem variable. They're not athletes, diabetics, or someone else who would refuse one cookie, much less a second. I certainly wouldn't eat two cookies, and that doesn't mean I don't act entitled in other ways. Conversely, what if this leader was extra hungry that moment or has an eating disorder.

I'm sure this social psychology experiment could have been done differently.
The mathematics standards for Common Core were released in June 2010. So college freshmen this year would have been in 5th grade (seniors in 8th grade) at the earliest when introduced to Common Core style mathematics. Probably later, since schools needed time to adapt to the new curriculum and train teachers in the new methods. Seeing as how Common Core places a heavy emphasis on developing skills in grades 1-8, I don’t think that current college students are a good benchmark for the Common Core standards. Talk to some college students in 5-10 years to get a better idea of how things are progressing.

>your personal political bias that makes Trump in "completely different plane".

Of course. Everything does. It's just of general description of reality.
No, they claimed to be German, and _in that capacity_ responded to their parent.
As disgusting and obnoxious as Trump is, there were enough perfectly good reasons to vote for him as a vote against the other major candidate.

Until people start actually voting for (a) third party, I am afraid that rather than being a last squeeze, we will be getting candidates like this more often, not less.
I think the contrast is between the modern culture of Switzerland and that of the US, where people feel that their right to kill animals inhumanely is too important to be legislated away.
>But what about the doctor at a premier children's hospital who has done nothing but study and sacrifice for their first 30 years on the planet to earn a job

But how much have they really earned it? If you look at the breakdown of doctors by their parents income[1] there is a huge bias towards people growing up in upper class homes. if you look at doctorates in general[2] you'll see a huge bias towards kids whose parents already have some sort of graduate degree.

That's not to say it's not hard to become a doctor/get a phd and whoever does it did a lot of work but it does betray that there is an effect here akin to 'laundering privilege.' That is to say these things aren't totally earned, only partially so.

Years ago, I had a class on Homelessness and Public Policy through SFSU. At the time, SF had about as many homeless as NY in a city with about one tenth the population, IIRC.

I spent 6 years on the street. I blog about homelessness and have done at least a little paid writing on the subject. My blog and other online activities keep me in touch with homeless people. I have also been interviewed by reporters because of my homeless blog.

I firmly believe that climate is a major factor in the high levels of homelessness in SF. This plus insane housing prices become a recipe for intractable homelessness.

Some homeless travel to places like SF in part for the good weather, in part because big cities have more services for the homeless. Then once they are there, they can't afford to get into housing and leaving to go someplace cheaper is both expensive and time consuming.

I suspect SF just feels overwhelmed by events. The only real solution here would be to get housing prices under control. People don't know how on earth to solve that issue for more middle class individuals in SF. The idea of solving it for the seriously poor is just too much to even contemplate.

I am not excusing it. I appreciate you refusing to step over a homeless individual. But one of the problems is that most people talking about this issue talk about The Homeless as if this is primarily a people problem and not a housing issue. It becomes a psychological barrier to the ability to imagine making real progress. So, like the relatives of addicts get inured to it and quit trying, I think SF is getting numbed to the problem because it seems simply unsolvable.
How old are you? I remember people crying when Bush won in 2004. I remember some girl refusing to date a friend of mine because he voted for Bush. Bush received plenty of vilification, which if you are young, is easy to forget given the left now views him like an adorable goofy grandpa. The hate was intense at the time. (Although yes, it’s worse for Trump).

valley girls crying into their pumpkin spice lattes

'Valley girls' refers to the San Fernando valley in Southern California, as (stereotypically) depicted on TV shows like 'The OC' - shallow fashionistas primarily concerned with gossip and social status. It's specifically a Southern California Thing and has never ever been associated with Silicon Valley.

Perhaps your social observation skills aren't as keen as you imagine them to be?
There’s plenty of discusssion elsewhere on HN: you can use search to find references (I’d start out with author:dang paywall). Short short version: they’re (e.g., NYT, WSJ, WaPo) big publications with a history of quality journalism that a lot of people are aware of and exposed to. That contributes both to increased submissions and upvotes.
That's a popular kind of thing to say on the internet, but IMO a good habit to stay out of. From an HN point of view it's far from true:

That reminds me of an article about a similar problem with the xbox. Cache consistency is extremely brittle combine that with speculative execution and that means just having instructions that break cache consistency in memory is dangerous.
This is a principle our industry implements poorly. It often seems like each new generation (for very small values of the word generation) must reinvent the same thing. Perhaps because the old thing was too complex to understand immediately... complexity driven by the needs of the underlying problem... complexity which the new implementation will inevitably obtain if it survives long enough and becomes popular enough that anyone cares.

(That said, I'm highly in favor of innovation of most any kind; building new things is great, if the new thing has some plausible innovation over the old thing!)
AI AMA by Yann LeCun, Eric Horvitz and Peter Norvig
Probably you have only seen good and/or recent C++ code.

Deep inheritance hierarchies are easy and cheap in Java (in fact, Java is deliberately designed to be good at them), but their popularity is older and wider; historically the early development of complicated OOP took place mostly in C++, with Java attempting to facilitate further complication with more modern tools.

For a well-known (and not too unreasonable) example of C++ deep class hierarchy, see the streams in the standard library of 20 years ago. The Java standard library copies them as closely as possible.
do any of the lisps have a package system like npm with tiny, nano libraries?
Ahh... no Thunderbolt / USB Type C would be a major let down in 2017/2018, for sure. My U3415W doesn't have Type C connectors, but the newer models do - including that luscious 38".

I actually surround my home 34" Predator X34 with two U2412Ms (1920x1200) on an Ergotech stand. The sides are similar enough in DPI for it not to be jarring, and they are floating in air over my desk making for a very nice work area. Used to be 3x of the 24s until I upgraded the middle. The GPU has 3x DPs which makes it easy - but with a newer setup you could possibly daisy chain type Cs?
I absolutely love lisp. It's crazy how it's one of the oldest language around, yet it still has more features than many other newer mainstream languages.

At the same time, one of the reasons I don't like it too much for daily work, is how it encourages cleverness. This sounds silly, I know. But sometimes when there's opportunities for cleverness -- such as with C++ (meta) template programming -- I become too tempted to make my own code more clever instead of, you know, making it do whatever it's supposed to do. That makes me appreciate the relative dumbness of say, Go and Python (not that you can't be clever with Python, but it's not encouraged).
Intercepting undocumented partial refreshes on the reMarkable Tablet
I can't speak much to being a bootcamp instructor, but I'll attempt to address your last question. A bootcamp is not an accredted, degree-granting institution -- it's not part of academia in the typical sense, so, if by 'careers in academia', you mean teaching at the university/college level, you're sort of comparing apples and oranges; pursuing experience outside of academia will not be the best use of your time/resources in that case.

Teaching at the college level means either attaining a tenure-stream position, or adjuncting. Tenure-stream requires a terminal degree (normally a PhD) and such roles are difficult to get; on the other hand, one can sometimes adjunct with a master's (or possibly even a bachelor's) but there is zero job security, and your'e still competing against all the people who do have PhDs but failed to get a tenure-track role. Nobody 'wants' to be a full-time adjunct, if that makes sense.

Either way, you'd gain teaching experience by taking on teaching fellowships/assistantships while pursuing your master's / doctorate. That's not to say bootcamp instructoring would be useless, but it's hard to say how valuable it would be.

If you have a genunine desire to teach, my two cents is to keep your day job (I'm guessing you are currently a software developer) and find a way to teach part-time -- part-time adjuncting, after-school tutoring, etc etc. It can be very fulfilling, but I wouldn't stake my financial future on it.
Assuming it supports DisplayPort v2.0 or greater you should be able to connect two monitors using a MST (Multi-Stream Transport) hub or monitors that natively support MST daisy chaining.
>I don't know many people who would consider someone at the 96% percentile of income as "rich".

Hmm? I'm getting $240,000 in household income yearly. I'd call that rich, I think lots of people I know would call that rich. Quarter mil per year is good money.

>Even folks at the 99% are still basically just upper middle class.

Huh? I'm getting $400,000 a year in income. That's rich

This strikes me as the same thing poor people do, to always define poverty as just below themselves but since this community has many people with large salaries, we define rich as just above us, just out of reach enough. If you pull in $400,000 a year you aren't middle class, you're rich. Accept it.
