I didn't say anything about men being bad

I never said that you did. You only impute that from the juxtaposition of the sentences. I only said that vilification wasn't such a good idea. Given that we are talking about the potential downsides of "an insular and chauvinist culture," I think it's useful to say one should be circumspect about vilification. Assume incompetence before maliciousness, and all that.

You implied that I did.

Not at all. You are stating that I implied that you did, however, and that's simply not true, which I have stated above. In this, you are implying that I am a liar. Let me "shut that down hard." I've already apologized so either provide your evidence, or be calling me a liar.

(a) rooted in the 1970s and (b) ignore decades of subsequent research.

Aww, hell. Also ignore research from the 60's and from common practices of just 5 years ago!

I think all these things feed into each other, too. There can be more than one explanation.

Are there other de-professionalized fields?
Perhaps your experience is not down to the engineers being crappy but rather to you not being able to work with them appropriately, after all you are guaranteed to be the common factor in all of your working relationships with offshore colleagues
Bitcoin's whitepaper as a cloudword
How big is your company and how big is your engineering team?

What are the risks if a major bug sits on production for an hour? (A few hundred annoyed customers? Hundreds of thousands in losses? Life or death?)

How automated are deploys and how easy are rollbacks?

Depending on the answers to all those questions, that level of bureaucracy might be totally within reason or it might be beyond ridiculous.
Most people just need to be able to use their money electronically. When the business model of banking is to have everyone give you all their money, then loan out 90% of it, it doesn't seem like such a difficult task. The reality is that it is difficult to start a new bank.
As I understand it, a woman doesn't know which men are threats or not (and some certainly are) -- so a man who can't read their boundaries is really a canary in the mine for them. Moreso, this tends not to be an intellectual calculation, but an intuitive emotional reaction -- to the degree that a woman might not really be able to articulate why she finds a man creepy, except that it's obvious to her and her female friends agree.

Although this problem is frustrating to me, I fully admit it didn't arise out of nowhere. Women have some real bad actors they need to be on the lookout for. That this is an intuitive reaction (instead of an intellectual calculation) really implies this is not a new problem. Unfortunately, though, it does mean observing some old-fashioned boundaries with women is the safest course of action.
> Who wants less energy for more money?

There are a lot of nutjobs running around saying they want Coal back, the President of the United States, for example, despite Coal being more expensive than Solar now.

So, to answer your question in earnest, Fossil Fuel Energy Companies and their bought-and-paid elected officials.
As I said in another comment, I fear approaching women because I don't expect people to be any more charitable with me than I am with them, and I do not think highly of men who approach women.
If a man approaches my girlfriend without a very good excuse both her and I automatically assume sexual intent (even in the absence of any overtly sexual, creepy or inappropriate behavior) because in our experience that's usually correct (probably some confirmation bias at play there I don't doubt). I know several of my friends feel the same way and I don't get the impression that this is an uncommon default.
I simply don't want people to suspect me in the same way so I avoid approaching women and if I do I try to work in the fact that I have a partner so as to make myself appear a bit more harmless. This comment captures that fear for me, albeit dressed up in hysteria about falsified sexual harassment allegations.
Well, the heuristic seems to be that if you are getting tickets to the same film more than once, you're likely abusing the service.
> Pay is a reflection of market demand, not the monetary value you bring to a company

Market demand is itself based on the perception of the hiring parties of the value you would supply. Companies hire people [0] only when they expect that that the cost of doing so will be justified by the return.

But, yes, I agree that supply and demand set price, but I just disagree with the idea that those are somehow unrelated to value.

> Walmart wouldn't function without someone at the register, but how much "value" that person at the register brings doesn't dictate their salary.

The value sets an upper limit to what WalMart will pay, just as the perceived opportunity cost to the worker of taking the job sets the lower limit of pay they’ll accept. The former is demand, the latter supply.

[0] outside of hires where a decision maker is funnelling business resources to the hired party as a kind of personal gift, which do happen, sure.
Are these revenue claims somehow verified? I know that indiehackers never verified them, is failory any different?
That's exactly the problem, buses can never match that. They can't have too short a route or too fast an interval, it doesn't work when you have huge variance due to personal cars, lights etc. impeding them.
This technology is literally a phone scammer's/spammer's wet dream.
Implementation details as requirements? This project is doomed.
I think you may be confused. I suspect everyone in the thread knows that English is a natural language.
Honestly, that depends on the interest rate spread. If I could get the same terms as a new car (let's say 1.9% on 60 months) during a boom economy/post-crash correction, I just might.
Of course, you're never going to see that rate offered on a re-fi for a used car so this is purely hypothetical but as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.
If I'm a business, and you're calling me, and you have a machine talking for you, sure, I'll talk to the machine if it gets me business. If I'm calling out from the business, though, and some customers don't like it, that can cost me business.
In Seattle (where I lived for three years, until just recently,) there was this dedicated bus lane. Cars for the most part stayed off of it, but the bus still had to stop at traffic lights.

Anything on rail is just way more suited to nonstop use! People in cars can (or should) more easily understand that trains/streetcars can't just start and stop just for them.
Yeah... I'm not speaking from pure conjecture here.

Marketed is really the more accurate term.
My hackintosh with a dedicated GPU has no problem at all because it has the rendering power to handle it. But my 2014 MBP Retina with integrated graphics gets destroyed and ends up spiking the CPU as well.
What I don't see many people commenting on is how this benefits small business. My barber, my Dr., my mechanic, my favorite restaurants, etc. are all small "shops". They don't have online booking nor do they want it. They answer phones and this allows clients to interact easier with them and it requires Zero investment for the small business. This is technology adapting to a communication hole IMO and I think it's quite a positive thing.
Me too, I just wrote a quick CLI app for logging my work on Monday
Can I read it without reading the first two books?
Seriously? Maybe the interactions just make him happy?
Thank you. Quoting the relevant section below:

14. Photovoltaic Requirements. All low-rise residential buildings shall have a photovoltaic (PV) system meeting the minimum qualification requirements as specified in Joint Appendix JA11, with annual electrical output equal to or greater than the dwelling’s annual electrical usage as determined by Equation 150.1-C:

kWPV = (CFA * A) / 1000 + (NDwell * B)

Where:

kWPV = kWdc size of the PV system

CFA = Conditioned floor area

NDwell = Number of dwelling units

A = Adjustment factor from Table 150.1-C

B = Dwelling adjustment factor from Table 150.1-C

(I'm not going to try to copy the table into this comment.)

I also found this document digging around recent additions to the public docket site:

http://docketpublic.energy.ca.gov/PublicDocuments/18-BSTD-01...

It says "The specific minimum size of the system is based on the size of the building and number of dwellings and can vary between 2 and 7 kilowatts output per dwelling..."

Which is less specific, but it's nice to see upper and lower minimum capacity requirements without having to consult a table.
In principle I agree, but I think in this particular case you might have trouble if you mandated a particular maximum level of energy consumption or a minimum level of on-site power generation, since some houses just aren't in a good place to get sun and there aren't any compelling alternatives to solar for power generation in residential areas.

Perhaps we should discourage people from building in shady places, but that would have a side effect of encouraging people to build where they need more AC.

A more market-based approach might be to just tax electrical use higher. Unfortunately, that would be a very regressive tax. (I don't live in California, but I understand you have or used to have a sort of sliding scale, where if you use more energy than average you pay a higher rate per kwh.)

Another option would be to require new power generation to be built along with new construction, but allow builders to decide how to do that and allow them to share power generation. For instance, a developer building a hundred houses might put solar on each house or they might build (or buy a partial stake in) a solar farm or wind turbine being built outside of town where land is cheap. The tricky part there is to ensure that any new power generation is actually being built specifically for the new construction, and builders aren't just piggybacking on power generation that would have been built anyways.
I had never heard of that route.

> The flying boats, travelling at about 200km/h, would take an average of 28 hours to complete the journey, but up to 32 hours nine minutes when winds were unfavorable.

Description of flying those was, they were docile but didn't have power assisted controls. Flying one for 30 hours in shifts even must have been brutal.
Considering how often remote companies turn into in office only companies, any company paying remote workers less than they would make locally is also basically saying to their remote employees, "you're only worth it if we can get you at a discount." I'm sure that attitude that these companies hold, often unknowingly, does wonders for output and productivity. /s
Which is what I am talking about regarding a lack of a fail-safe, whereby public intervention could takeover and maintain production - so either companies can be honest with their costs and take a reasonable profit, or things move to the fail-safe; what would trigger that mechanism would have to be figured out/decided.
Just because your average, clueless, overweight boomer thinks using the latest social media applications on the newest phones makes someone technically savvy, that doesn't mean they actually are. Also, I'd bet the average teenager would still be as clueless about setting up a home theater (i.e. plugging in the correct cables into the correct sockets) as one was 20 years ago.
I've seen women call men creepy for literally no reason

I'm corroborating this.

I've also seen a shit-ton of creepy borderline sociopathic behavior from males, much of it gone uncalled out (by the supposedly sane males who were standing by)

Let me guess: It was from the highest status male in the immediate vicinity?
This is exactly me. All my, maybe >10 (of course in college, not in work), attempts ended up me being called out for being creepy so I basically quit trying because I don't want to make women uncomfortable. When I say this to my friends they act as if I'm inflicting self-harm. We should really let people being at peace with their sexuality.
Most people I know need a car to get to their job. I stopped using a car to do so 20 years ago, but I had to leave Silicon Valley to do so.

My friends who stayed -- car payment and all -- now have far more money than I do. But I was much happier than I would have been, stuck in traffic. It's not for everyone.
For a responsible driver, it is a test to see if you are paying attention. A careful driver will see this about to happen, anticipate it, and allow the turning driver to make his impatient left safely.
Is this because the train is not grade separated?
Nah how about we all work from home 2 or 3 days a week. People will actually do that and it saves not only the city but whole bunch of other things for the employee and the employer.
And they are certainly allowed to do ranking. But they can only do it on non-PII data, on data that has been deliberately made public, and on data which people have consented to its collection and storage with unequivocal opt-in.
That's the monomer, yes.

Simple desire for profit drove adding melamine to milk formula for babies. In that melamine cost less than milk powder. And that it reacted like proteins in the simple test that was commonly used.

Melamine is (C-N)3 in a ring, with NH2 on each of the carbons. And all amino acids have C-NH2 on one end. Thus the name. I gather that the test scored all C-NH2 moieties. So each melamine molecule looks like three amino acids, and contains less other stuff than amino acids on average. Making it a very efficient adulterant.
Getting to the underground platform and getting back to street level adds 5-10 mins of wasted time which the bus makes up for but the problem with buses is traffic. It’s taken me 1 hour to go a mile and a half in London more than once in areas where there is a congestion charge (toll to discourage private cars) in place.
Genuinely the only way I use du is like this:

du -sh *

which shows total disk usage for every file and folder in the current directory. I've actually aliased it as `dush` because I use it so often.

Bonus tip: if you're using btrfs, it has a built-in du that keeps track of cow statistics, so you can see which files/folders are deduped and which aren't. It's invoked with

btrfs filesystem du -s *

or (because the btrfs binary understands abbreviations)

btrfs fi du -s *
And certainly that's not the "feature" of Comcast support you were referring to when you directed me there. Most people's negative notions of Comcast and their support is well-deserved.

Until Google makes Duplex an "exasperating" experience I have no issues giving them the benefit of the doubt. The way it was presented, there is nothing exasperating about it - assuming it is ready to be released it'll be the equivalent of a common, simple human conversation now (maybe with fewer angry callers), and plenty of small business will love having more reservations made
I'm currently using Asana for task management. I guess the only upside is that I can share tasks with my wife, but its clearly not really meant for just single person management.

Has anyone tried both taskwarrior and asana? Any obvious pros/cons?

taskwarrior seems much simpler and can live locally if you dont want locked in asana/whatever?
The big Chinese banks (BOC, ICBC, ...) are all SOEs, so they are basically owned by the government. Interest rates on deposits are paltry (even by western standards), and the banks make all their retail money on shadow banking products. What really kills the banks, however, is the loans they are forced to give out to other SOEs.
That is classical diversification: commoditizing a most-likely discarded waste product. Pretty innovative if you ask me.
Those aren't people thst want less energy for more money, those are people that want to sell less energy for more money.

The people that want less energy for more (immediate) money are the people that want external costs priced into retail energy prices, but that's just because they don't want environmental damage to be treated as a non-cost.
Perhaps sold because the parent company wouldn't want to be associated with immoral activity like price gouging, however could sell at a higher amount to someone willing to start gouging; who initiates these transactions would also be interesting to look at.
I'd phrase it the other way around: you can't impose certain clauses in the contract (in this case, an obligation to consent to certain kinds of processing of personal data). Laws forbidding certain contract clauses are nothing new.
No, I mean expecting that a game of this type that has more than doubled in revenue for the past two years to continue to be profitable makes sense. As it turns out, this was an excellent bet, as their next quarters saw revenue increases in the hundreds of millions.

Two years later, they continued to increase sales of the game, selling about 20 million copies in 2016.

It worked.

Organized roleplaying campaigns could be a good social hobby that is fun for the nerd brain, too.
It's funny to think retrospectively that something like Backbone.js absolutely did not solve view state management at all and people adopted it because it somehow looked like Rails with big models, Angular.js misunderstood the issue completely with factories everywhere instead of a single dataflow.

The new paradigm would be the browser handling all that and there is no need for frameworks anymore. We are not there yet given how poor web component support is : https://caniuse.com/#search=web%20component
Analogies Between Kubernetes and an Operating System?
Hi hackernews.
I was introduced to the world of kubernetes couple of days ago and it reminds me alot to my lectures about operating systems.
Let me draw some analogies:

kubernetes - the operating system (like windows)

docker - a process

prometheus - task manager

fluentd - event log viewer

...
do you guys agree?
do you have more examples?
i am curious
You're probably right, but a lot of these points aren't particularly strong dude. You'll be more listened to if you make reduce the entropy of your arguments.
Astroturfing accusation? Really? People profess their love or hate for things all the time. There is a comment below talking about how great Spotify is are you going to accuse it of Astroturfing as well?

Anyway if you simply Google which streaming platforms pay artist the most Tidal tops the list all the time.

You seem to be missing the point again and again every time this topic comes up. There is a reason why TensorFlow is generic enough to run on many types of hardware. That allows people to port their code around. But there exists a world outside of tensorflow that you might not be aware of, and for that world this chip is not a competitor. That world is significantly larger than the TF world.
> Does that mean that right now there are no persistance options with this Managed Redis cluster?

It's a memory store.
That does sound nice, but I'm a bit confused about using it for _project documentation_. Are any of these open-source? Although org is plaintext and thus technically cross-editor compatible, it's meant to be edited in Emacs, so would contributors just need to use Emacs?
I don't think so, I'm thinking it's all about to change . why? WASM.

We now see languages targeting the browser, and the beginnings of front end frameworks being developed in traditionally backend languages. I think this is going to create quite a different landscape for the web world in the next 5 years. Different languages bring different approaches to problems.
Creator of Artpip here. Came to suggest it as an alternative. Happy to answer any questions!

Also @OP - you might want to take a look at the wallpaper-macos[0] lib that I developed for Artpip. It uses the nodobj node wrapper but it should be a useful reference. You don't need to read from the sqlite DB or deal with restarting the dock. You can reliably get the current wallpaper like so [1]. Also you might want to check out how [2] it handles setting backgrounds on multiple spaces, should you want to support that.

This is pretty neat and is something I've been thinking about for a current project.

Does anyone know if something similar exists in Java/Scala land?
They can do bus-only lanes though. Ideally, also toll the roads high enough so that the traffic is never backed up. (And, even more ideally, have no toll when when the road is below capacity.)
In my previous job, a women moved from a different country to join our group. We had common mutual interestss, we talked often, had a couple of drinks and dinner once. I did the same thing with a male coworker. However, the relationship with a woman is always going to be a little different, especially if your both single. After a couple of weeks I asked her if she was interested in dating.

She said it was not a good idea as we were coworkers, and thinking about it I fully agreed and immediately backed of, tried to do the professional thing and did not ask her to join me for coffee or dinner anymore. It was only later that I realized that this was also not what she wanted - she was in a new country, didn't know anyone, and now she kind of lost one of the coworkers that she did have a good (friendly) connection with.

It was only about half a year later, after we were both in a relationship with different people, that we reconnected as friends, and we still speak occasionally today after we moved to new jobs.

I guess the point of this post is to say, it is more complicated to be friends with someone of the opposite gender than to be friends with someone of the same gender.
Can you link some studies that prove people in broad swathes of the economy need to be forced to make profitable decisions on an individual case-by-case basis?
+1 for testing actions / reducers.

Snapshot testing probably makes sense if you're making a design system of component building blocks or a purpose-built re-usable component. Anything more and your tests will probably end up being brittle.

For routing, I usually recommend "connected-react-router." [1] Never heard of "redux-little-router" - will have to check it out!

He should probably not. If it works for the majority of the team (which from the grandparent comments seems it does), the impetus is on candidates to fit in existing culture, not the culture to change to fit candidates.

Most effective teams are usually ones with least communication impedance. The less you have to judge your words and go through diplomacy/"re-examination" dance in routine conversations, the more time you have to do your job. That's the reason "team fit/culture fit" is such an important criteria when hiring people.
Haha crying is a great emotional hack. Most people are helplessly vulnerable to it. Over the weekend I was swimming with the family. We hadn't seen any neighbors all day. My brother threw his son into the pool, surprising him enough that he started crying. In 2 seconds, multiple neighbors were out on their lanai, staring suspiciously at the carnage down at the pool.
OK, I get it.

Plenty of cities (Chicago, in my experience) have parallel lines 1-2 blocks apart.

For the record, I take the transbay bus to work most days, and it's a similar deal (plus I can almost always get a seat). Slightly less convenient with the schedule (every 10 minutes instead of 5)
