> Maybe it's not even possible for extremely intelligent, relatively rational people, to adopt the mindset of people who (by choice, culture, or means well outside their control) live more emotional, instinctual lives.

It sounds very condescending to describe people with a different cost function to optimize than yours as irrational and instinctual.

The whole point of the article is that, for some people, not moving away when the rent is high is rational, in spite of the obvious drawbacks (and that's assuming it's feasible - which, for many, it is not).

>I made such a dumb long post because I want to be challenged on this. If you take the time to reply with why you disagree with me I will be very grateful.

OK, first step:

do you realize that "irrational reason" is, literally, an oxymoron?[1][2]

There is no such thing as irrational reason, by the very definition of the words.

There are, however, reasons that you do not understand. Maybe, as you said, it's a problem with empathy.

Not to say that there is no irrational behavior - people do irrational things. It's just that when we are talking about system patterns - like people not moving out of places they can barely afford - often, there are good reasons why it makes sense for them.

When you see something that looks irrational, it's important to assume ignorance on your part. Otherwise, you won't find out the rationale!

Case in point: you might think that it's irrational for poor people - especially, say, pimps in a poor neighborhood - to buy a lot of gold jewellery instead of investing in something worthwhile.

But then you find out that in their life, it is a very worthwhile investment[3]

TL;DR: never assume something is without reason; assume there is one - and you'll often find it.

The other answer is pretty good. I live in Lancaster which is a bit further west still and it's not super expensive. If you get that far out, the trick is to live near commuter rail and/or one of the highways. In my case, I'm a few minutes from the Fitchburg commuter rail and Route 2. It's still a long commute if you work in the city. (I don't.) And it's not that bad to go into the city in the evening though the traffic is worse than it used to be. I'm actually going in in a little to see a play.

That's a fairly obtuse example. Is there a standard you're drawing from, for this? Because this example works fine:

postgres=# create table func_test ( id int primary key, data text );
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into func_test values ( 1, 'josh' ), ( 2, 'markus' );
INSERT 0 2
postgres=# select id, data from func_test group by id;
id | data
----+--------
2 | markus
1 | josh

Unless you need partitioned tables or have significant operational experience with MySQL and not with PostgreSQL, you should pick PostgreSQL.
It's definitely an empathy problem.

I wouldn't be surprised by an empathy-intelligence correlation but I don't think it's relevant here anyway; You don't have to be intellectually driven if you're not emotionally driven.

I think this highlights the concerns from "unemotional" types:

>One should plan for irrationality.

When we say that, what are we inviting them to do exactly? I think we're asking them to be more forgiving and less judgmental when people act irresponsibly.

People who aren't emotionally driven don't see the intrinsic value in that. We're asking them to do something they'd rather not do, and the typical unemotional person would decline the request.

Danish inventor gets life for murder, rape of journalist on personal submersible
From the article:

>The UAE allegedly uses a preset category called "alternative lifestyles" to block websites of LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations, news, and educational resources, including Human Rights Campaign and The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association. The category is described by Netsweeper as a filter for content relating to "the full range of non-traditional sexual practices, interests and orientations."

The preset in question is detailed on Netsweeper's site (ctrl+F for "alternative lifestyles"): https://helpdesk.netsweeper.com/docs/6.0/Policy_Management/0...
Quote:

This includes sites that reference topics on habits or
behaviors related to social relations, dress,
expressions, or recreation that are important enough
to significantly influence the lives of a sector of
the population. It can include the full range of non
traditional sexual practices, interests and
orientations. Some sites may contain graphic images
or sexual material with no pornographic intent.

Examples:
http://denypagetests.netsweeper.com/category/catno/41
http://gayguide.net
http://veganica.com
http://barefooters.org
http://eatveg.com
http://freegan.info

So beyond the question of "our customers may customize our product for this kind of filtering but that's not our responsibility", the company itself does also provide tools in the product to do things the researchers in the article are opposing as unethical.
The officers handled themselves very professionally. This was a legal traffic stop, the driver was issued a citation for having expired registration.

SF is in Northern California, so I don't understand the question.

My bay area commutes:

2012-2013, live in SF work in San Mateo
25 minute walk to caltrain + 45 minute caltrain ride + 5 minute walk from caltrain
====> 75 minute door to door

2013-2014, live in SF (Potrero Ave in the Mission) work in SF (Financial District)
On bus, due to surface traffic + busses not coming, anywhere from 20 - 80 minute commute
On foot, ~75 minute commute (3.5 miles walk)
===> 75 minute door to door

2014-2015, live in Berkeley, Work in SF
20 minute walk to BART + 30 minute BART ride + 15 minute walk from BART
===> 65 minute door to doo

2015-2017, live in Oakland work in SF
20 minute walk to Transbay bus + 20 - 60 minute bus ride + 15 minute walk from BART
===> on average 90 minute commute

I absolutely agree that 90 minute commutes are absurd and unacceptable. I moved out of the bay area and now my door to door commute is 15-20 minutes. It has dramatically changed my life for the better.

But every time I read an article that complains about the commutes in the bay area _getting bad_, it confuses me. My commutes in the bay area have _always_ been that bad. Who are all these people with relatively reasonable commutes and how do they do it?

I think as evidence to the idea that sustaining a romantic relationship is difficult, divorce rates provide some backing.

They're not the Alpha and Omega on the matter, but it clearly shows that A- The people were attempting to create and sustain a long term romantic relationship and B- They were unable to do so for some reasons.

It could be a correlation and not causation thing as well though. I think it's difficult to provide anything truly concrete showing that intimate relationships are difficult to maintain using statistics. Much like the original article, there's just far too many moving parts (cultural expectations, communication skills differences, personal traumas, trust building, etc) that play into the equation.

> If overclockers methods are breaking this promise, then operating systems have very little recourse.

I guess the real concern is where does software get its information about the ratio of the TSC's rate to the progression of actual wall time. If it's derived from a constant multiplier of the CPU base clock or something like that, then adjusting the base clock could be quite problematic for benchmarking even if that base clock speed remains constant throughout a benchmark run. On the other hand, if the TSC to wall time ratio is measured using an external clock (like HPET), then most overclocking situations are probably fine (since it's pretty rare to overclock peripheral busses on modern platforms).

And since RDTSC is quite deliberately an unprivileged instruction, it's not just the OS we have to worry about on the software side. But hopefully most application authors that directly use the TSC instead of portable APIs know what they're doing. (I wouldn't bet on it.)
I do it by breaking up my work into chunks. Being remote allows me the leverage that isolation to give myself blocks of 100% productivity; I intersperse that with going out and doing things.

I often work outdoors in the warmer months. I've got an office at home, but I've also got a handful of places where I can park my Jeep and either hang my hammock or pull out the back seat and work in the shade, with the background noise of nature and/or traffic depending on my mood. I'll do that for 2-4 hours, then go grab a coffee or go to the park with my kids (we homeschool). After a couple of hours of that, I usually go back to one of my spots and do it again. Other days I'll work at night after my wife and kids are in bed.
How complicated/extensive was this procedure? I have requested prices for many procedures and only once have I received that information (and like I said in another comment, I received a discount for paying it in full at the time of service). Every other time, every single person I talked to said "I can't give you that information" or "I honestly don't know".

I feel like your pricing is off. $29/week is too expensive for consumers, yet far too cheap if you plan to get reimbursed from insurers. Especially considering you'll need a lot of people and show improvements for them if you want insurers to pay - this pricepoint won't let that happen.
Huh. I guess in our lifetime we'll see a human brain sustained outside the body and then put back in so we can ask the person what it was like.
The Accountable Care Act (Obamacare) specifically mandated that routine preventative care be covered by private insurance plans at no cost to the patient. That way patients won't skip preventative care to "save" money and problems can be detected early before they become serious.

> Every company is enthusiastic to hire me. But at the background check phase they all retract their offer.

This kinda suggests you weren't honest, or at least up-front, about your conviction. If it gets to the background check phase and they don't already know, you're doing it wrong.

If an employer finds out about that from anyone but you, the answer is _definitely_ going to be no. If they find out from you directly, it's probably still a no, but not definitely.

> We've ran out of unemployment

Grammatical error - may seem like a small thing, but when you're appealing to people in this way, the small things matter a lot. Change to "We've run out of unemployment".

To be honest though, I'm not sure this part of the story is helping your case - it doesn't paint a positive picture, only inspires pity. Maybe I'm wrong about that though - just what I'd be thinking about.

I think that's saying that TSC is invariant with respect to wall time, but what Agner Fog wants is a counter that's invariant with respect to actual CPU clock cycles, so that he can count how many cycles an instruction takes even if the clock speed of the CPU changes during a test run.

I feel like JavaScript is already a sort of functional language, so going in this direction is ok.

It's the object/class additions where I think it's all going a bit C++.

Start with prototypical inheritance, but with a Java-style `new` keyword that makes everything confusing. Next bolt on classes on the one hand, while correcting your prototype system `Object.create` on the other.

R has 3 different object systems and none of them are any good. How long before JavaScript catches up?

One of the hardest things is living with this label. There's such a stigma around it. My offense is much different than OP, but it still sucks.

People seem to think "one a felon, always a felon" — which, in some cases is very true, but for every repeat customer of the courts there are 10 people who commit felonies once or twice and never do it again and go on to lead otherwise normal lives.

Part(s) of problem is A. access to employees with the right skill sets and B. their respective commutes and desire to live closer to the city.

So, you could choose to locate a company in Worcester (or even closer in, say, Framingham), but many of the 20/30 somethings will have a tough time getting to these locations and these towns themselves don't have people with the necessary skill sets.

> That said, yeah, I _hate_ that we've had to spend so much time "defending" Redux rather than figuring out niftier things to do with it

Yup, everything popular goes through that. I like the MMORPG analogy. New MMO comes out, is popular, shiny, everyone's into it. Then the WoW communities move to it and request...DEMAND that it be changed to match their expectations. Game devs try super hard to catter to the WoW communities and fail. WoW players all quit. Game developers then either give up, or focus on the core player base that actually liked the game as designed originally. At that point the game either thrives and becomes the best it's ever been (with a much smaller user base), or it dies.

Ember is one of those I think: I don't like it, but everyone who hates Ember stopped using it long ago, and it's serving people who like it quite well. It's not shiny or sexy, but for them, it works very well.
At first, I thought this was a service for connecting felons to jobs. I always thought that'd be an awesome idea, especially if some sort of job training could be set up (jail is SUPPOSED to be for rehabilitation, right?)

Anyway, best of luck with your job search.

You seem very transparent about this, so forgive me if this is too forward - do you face difficulties being on the sex offendeder list with attending events for your children? I.e school plays or whatever.
I beg to differ. Although I have no data or experience to suggest one way or another.

I can see how you would want to first be judged on the merit of your skills and then an employer might be willing to make a judgement call in your case, after they have judged your value.

As opposed to your resume being thrown out without even as much as a second thought if you are a convicted felon.
I imagine the Koch Brothers follow through on their commitment to "ban the box" (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/koch-brothers-donors-ban-box-...) and not ask about felony convictions in job applications. There are other companies operated by executive teams from across the political spectrum that probably do the same -- maybe you could be hired by one of these companies (?) .

Software systems at times touch sensitive info, and it might be harder to justify hiring a formal felon to work on these (might depend on the nature of the crime), so YMMV.

Good luck to you, I hope you continue to sort out your issues and that you good way to support your family.
Good luck, my partner (startup) is a felon. I've known him for 12+ years. Youthful mistakes have followed him longer than he was alive when he got his felony.

Don't be discouraged and keep at it. My state (Oklahoma) removed asking if you have a felony from all state job applications (truly shocking IMO).
