Do you want those houses to have some half-efficient solar, or do you want them to be unable to be built at all?

Forcing solar on a house like that is suboptimal, forcing a certain generation metric is even worse.

I don't think adding "at work" really makes it better.

The original comment I replied to is basically saying that men just avoid women as an "one of the unfortunate unintended consequences of the #MeToo movement." My point is that this is not due to #MeToo, it's due to people with bad social skills who think avoiding women is better than improving them.

> “She was acting as a rental daughter, but at the same time she was telling me how she felt as a real daughter,” he said. “And yet, if it was a real father-daughter relationship, maybe she wouldn’t have spoken this honestly.” ... Yūichi Ishii, the founder of Family Romance, told me that he and his “cast” actively strategize in order to engineer outcomes like Nishida’s, in which the rental family makes itself redundant in the client’s life.

> I thought about my missed shrink appointment, and about a psychology professor I met, Kenji Kameguchi, who has been trying for the past thirty years to popularize family therapy in conflict-averse, stoical Japan, where psychotherapy is still stigmatized. He said that he thought rental relatives were, in an unschooled way, fulfilling some of the functions of group-therapy techniques such as psychodrama, in which patients act out and improvise one another’s past situations or mental processes.

From this reading, it seems to me that Japan's fake relatives are the equivalent of counselors and psychiatrists in other countries.

This sounds pretty wacky at first blush...then I remember a time post-college, post-divorce where I would go to hibachi restaurants because they would seat me with other people.

It wasn't a long period of time, but loneliness can be a real and powerful thing. Everyone is happy to offer solutions, but few actually acknowledge how it feels while you're trying to get a solution to work.

During interviews do you ask the locals if they have any intentions of moving to a lower CoL city in the near future? If you do, do you start them at a lower rate?
What this does is force new homeowners to make an iffy investment that they probably wouldn't otherwise make given a choice in the free market, but cleverly hides it in the price of new construction.

If it was such a slam-dunk great idea, everyone would be installing solar systems right now but they aren't because it isn't clear that it makes any financial sense.
I sometimes feel like I miss out on cool opportunities like this because I live in a midwestern city. A tech hub like SF probably has as many hackathons/dev meet ups/etc in a weekend as my city does in a year.

But then I look at housing prices and feel a little better.
I agree with this article, but I also think a lot of the comments on this thread that disagree raise some good points. One point that I haven't seen raised is that if if it became a trend for companies to pay the same high rates, regardless of worker's location, it might help reverse the "brain drain" that a lot of small places in the world are experiencing these days. Ultimately, a company can choose to justify the rate they pay in any way they want, but personally, I tend to prefer working with companies that pay the same rates regardless of a candidate's location, race, gender or citizenship. Companies that pay based mostly on skill and experience seem (to me) to be correlated with companies that value treating employees fairly.

It's about leaky abstractions.

If programming is about managing complexity and status is ideally specified explicitly, then null is simply the option in a mathematical set defining that status which corresponds to the option commonly seen on surveys: Other (please specify): ...

While it can be handy to have this 'extra value' in a set, and it is most commonly used to denote special meanings within a carefully controlled context (eg. SQL column in a result set is empty, a variable is of no type - ie. not defined at all, etc.), issues arise when people accidentally carry context or presumptions about the meaning of null across contexts, creating a leaky abstraction.

Most of the author's article appears to deal with differences in these context-specific assumptions.

Perhaps the Java approach: throw an exception.

Unix approach? Nonzero return values and arbitrary stream or file data to clarify. In edge-case leakiness, very similar to the Java approach.

The functional and dedicated non-OO procedural programming approach: define exit parameters to your function, specifying complete precision and ending any ambiguity.

Since a type is a formal context (set), then using a typed language is another solution, although that adds overhead it brings benefits in rigor.

Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework. Just a function. - John Carmack

I'd support a law that says you aren't allowed to ask where someone lives.

This would mean that working a remote job in SV pays the same. Which would mean workers in SV would have an incentive to get out of SV which would mean little pockets of cool would pop up as developers realized they could do things like move with a group of peers to a small town and still make SV wages.

This could help alleviate pressure from the SF housing market.
Horseshoe crabs are rather extraordinary creatures. They're essentially unchanged for 450 million years, and look like it:

The tax not being regressive was already addressed, so I'll note that there's no need for float. The remit can be built into the energy bill.
So for women-dominated jobs, it's get a degree, get 20k more a year. No wonder women are getting more degrees!

(What's more, this would seem to indicate that class disparities might be increasing more for females than for males. Maybe this explains the vehemence of radicalized females.)
I really question the intelligence of any founder who thinks the way you do.

I give a lot of lee-way to people when it comes to learning lessons, but this idea that your mind should be on your business 24/7 and nothing else, and that that is somehow healthy... I mean, I don't even know how it's controversial for Josh to say people need to do stuff outside of work.

I am a huge believer that we, as founders, should apply the same standards to ourselves as we do to employees. Enforce personal time and vacations, that sort of thing. If it's healthy for an employee, it's healthy for you, and your business doesn't need one of its founders to burn out.

The artificial "must do everything now right now" rush comes from "Funding will run out!" and "We must be first to market!". Those things will happen either way if you lose one of your founders to burnout along the way. Or even if you don't lose them, your productivity will sink like a horse in wet toilet paper if you don't give yourself limits.
Furthermore, "funding will run out if I don't rush" is usually a sign you've taken on funding too early. Give yourself enough time early on.

I'm particularly sensible to all this because I've seen how the games industry has abused employees in the past (and this keeps happening, although less), the same way a lot of founders abuse themselves today. Ridiculous deadlines, trading employee health for "code crunch" as if there's just a lot of ones and zeroes to type until you're done.

Don't pull regular all-nighters, don't order KFC every day because you "don't have time to cook", don't stop reading/gaming/watching TV (that business meeting email can wait until tomorrow). And for god sake, don't neglect your personal life to the point of losing your boyfriend/girlfriend/SO, there's nothing like losing your partner to precipitate burnout.

I've even seen some founders rave about things like the Mythical Man-Month and then stay up 36 hours to "work more on their business", as if sleep wouldn't catch up on them anyway. Dumb, toxic culture.
Reasonable enough, but if that's the case, we should be blaming the avoidance on men for their social incompetence, not on women for having boundaries.

I agree. My life has been much improved since deleting Facebook from my phone.

I don’t need a social network. E-mail and IM actually work fine; it’s trivial to include a link to web content in an e-mail which covers almost everything else.

LinkedIn is great for work; because it’s explicitly a curated experience focused on employment. But past that I neither need nor want a social network. I think this realization will be the most damning for Facebook.

It seems that there aren't many counties richer than Marin. And, a large wealth gap may just mean, there are some rich people, and some really rich people. Are the "obviously poorer people" still on iPhone 6's and 2015 MacBooks? (ok that part is sarcasm).

The point is, if you are getting the bus in Marin county, you are getting on the bus with others who are also in Marin county. That is going to heavily bias the experience because of the people, not the quality or cleanliness of the bus.
yes, but it doesn't do any of the things on the list.
To me it seems we are finally starting to play the same game as the Chinese, they strategically use companies on a national scale to gain and keep trade advantages. I think in some cases such as metal refining they are able to coordinate on a national scale with the strategy of their government and outmanuver independent companies. I consider this recent move the US government waking up and starting to really fight the Chinese in key economic areas.
>I'm hoping to change that.

>I hope most interactions in your life are more positive than this thread.

How much of a toxic person do you have to be to be consistently petty and backhanded over a conversation about a vanilla definition of a word you seem to think is inappropriate?

> it isn't clear whether your definition 1 is meant, or something less serious like your definition 1.1.

Yes it is. I'm well aware you want to pretend like it isn't, but if you go through a quite literal elementary exercise (i.e., an exercise literally done in the U.S. elementary school curriculum) of finding the closest definition of a word based on how it's used in a sentence then the answer is pretty obvious. If you can't do that then I apologize.

>You might ask who I am to disagree with the dictionary;

That is exactly what I'm asking and you haven't answered it. No one was "throwing" around the word. It was used explicitly for its well understood definition -- used day in and day out in common conversation. If you want to claim that the word should be reserved for a specific situation, that's fine. But that's not what the dictionary says, so you don't really get to call it disrespectful.

>but the definition of slavery is a difficult question that academics debate.

No it's not. Lawful definitions are not exactly relevant to common conversation. You're stretching to make a point.
Totally -- but policy goals and actually getting the gears of the corporatosaurus moving are often not quite in lockstep.
You might want to go read the release notes for React 16.3 ( https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/29/react-v-16-3.html ), which discuss the history of the old context API, and its new replacement.

Old context will continue to exist through React 16.x, but will be removed in 17.0. Meanwhile, we've got a proof-of-concept PR open for React-Redux to switch it to use the new context API instead ( https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux/pull/898 ). Given the other changes related to React 16.3+, we're likely to put out a React-Redux 6.0 that includes the context usage changes, and make it 16.3+ only.

All that said: you really _should_ stop using the old context API, upgrade to React 16.3, and switch to the new context API instead. It solves the issues inherent to the old APIs design, and is the supported approach going forward.
Yeah, CBD. I can deal with the noise, but the diesel fumes get to me. It was more just thinking "if this noise and exhaust wasn't here, this would be a much more pleasant experience."
Even with China's scale, you don't rebuild a 75,000-person tech company from scratch. Brand awareness is quite important in the consumer electronics sector, and it would take a lot of effort and investment to retake that #4 cellphone vendor position with a new brand.
Long term, this will backfire on the US.

China will probably just develop more stuff locally, further reducing US influence.
I'm not really versed in the idioms/social mores of Python, so please take the following with a grain of salt:

This seems like it usefully solves a problem, but the invocation pattern is suspect to me -- Instead of "glom" taking the target for picking-apart plus a magic little bit of DSL, what if "glom" took a single parameter, the aforementioned DSL, and returned a function that would perform the corresponding search when called on a target? Even if Python or this package optimises away repeatedly searching (by the same spec|in the same manner), the convention the package prescribes is odd to me, right after the first few paragraphs of intro.
Well, if you honestly believe the original comment was about not interacting with any and all women then I don't know what to say. I guess what I tried to explain will remain a mystery to you.

Interesting question, since California has so so many building restrictions for eartyhquakes and whatnot. New construction on old buildings is very expensive here, so maybe the price was actually boosted upwards because this would be such an easy lot to build on, without the normal teardown costs of a more modern building.
You think if Apple, IBM, Amazon, or another American giant got caught doing this kind of stuff they would get sanctioned nearly as hard by the Trump administration?

What, so companies are supposed to just magically stop having physical operations?

What you're proposing is completely insane. No reasonable business owner would put up with it, and hiring in any sector beyond menial service industry jobs would disappear from whatever jurisdiction enacted that law, while management works on spinning up operations elsewhere.
yet in practice overfishing occurs in species after species; individual interests do not always align with the macro interests.

Perhaps Huawei will buy them. (speculating here)
I would disagree, if only I because I still write letters.

But then I am one of the people who writes SMS messages long enough that they are unreadable on the recepeint's end.

(And yes, turns out that you can type a long enough SMS message that it wouldn't display fully on a modern Android phone even after the auto-conversion to MMS. That saddens me. I guess you may be right, after all.)

On the other hand, people write more these days than they ever have. And even in this thread, the individual comments end up running quite long - long enough to be short letters if you were to write them by hand. Turns out, when you are actually trying to make a point, being brief is more difficult than being wordy.

So perhaps it's not the art of writing "long-form" (a modern term) that is dying - perhaps it's writing longform intended for one recipient only - and perhaps even that is temporary. Time will tell.
Considering how much of their sales were in the U.S., and knowing the kind of threats the U.S. government had already made to Huawei, it was pretty dumb of them to ignore U.S. government warnings and investigations over what must have been piddly sales by volume (though probably with quite a profit margin, since no one else was selling to Iran). Now it's totally blown up in their face.
It's a fine idea but adjustments would be necessary to account for the fact that a development in one location will generate a different cash flow than a very similar one in a different location. Also most communities who would take part in such a scheme would also simply approve proposed developments without it.
Thanks. That looks bitchin. Will check it out.

Looking at its stock UI, I'm reminded of one of my basic grievances with CADD of the AutoCAD model:

I hate layers.

When doing architectural plans, which layer does the electric water heater go onto? 'ELECT', 'PLUMB', or a special case 'ELECT-PLUMB'?

Much better would be something set based. (Today we'd probably call them tags.) Instead of toggling visibility, views should be queries.
The one commonality I found with the creepers is that they are pretty clearly below average in looks. The question is whether this is a correlation or a casual factor.

It's both. There was, in our ancestor's state-of-nature, a very high social and reproductive opportunity cost associated with the worst possible actions of a "below-par" male. This would have been true even before the advent of language. Furthermore, note that the opposite of the above is true with an "above-par" male. I think this explains a lot of female behavior with respect to men who are more and less attractive.
I think you just pointed the biggest issues in the article: the problem starts before any of the solutions proposed. You can do whatever you want during the job/university but if you still get 95% males it won't fix the issue.

> I think we have to start early and stop dividing professions into for men or women. Let men be nurses and women firefighters. Look at your childrens personalities and let them grow in whatever they enjoy, girly or not.

I would just add that we should do this even if it doesn't change anything. Just let people do whatever they like and don't judge them with stupid stereotypes. Don't force girls to be CS and boys to be nurses if they don't want to.
The big, classical school of Python definitely prefers top-level functions. Still, I definitely understand that aesthetic, and am on board with not using functools.partial to achieve it. So: https://github.com/mahmoud/glom/issues/14 :)

"So the part of the family that survived had to support Franco, it was a question of survival."

I don't want to get too personal, as I lack the historic details in your case, but as far as I know the republic and the anarchists were not at all the same. And anarchists that killed rich people for being rich and catholic alone ... might have existed, but not as the norm and rather a very extreme subgroup. There is no common anarchistic ideology that justify this. So maybe there was a bit more to it, like beeing member of the falangists as well?
(Even then it would be against common anarchistic ideology in general, but more likely)

So I doubt the choice of your family was binary. Understandable, given that they were catholic and franco was on the catholic side ... Maybe. But not the only choice.

But in general I very much agree. Not much to romanticize about a civil war. Heroic deaths here and there, yes. But mostly blood and hate.
For out of patent drugs, nothing is stopping you from funding such a fail-safe. The problem is you'll run into the question of is this the most social benefit for your dollar spend. I suspect not, but that's for you to decide.
> They need to set a price they're willing to pay for a job and hiring based on that.

The problem with this line of thinking is that employers don't actually need to do this. There are no external pressures that would force this behavior, so why would they bother?
> What, so companies are supposed to just magically stop having physical operations?

If someone is applying for an on-site job, why does where they live matter? The duty is to be at the specified place at the specified time, how they acheive that isn't really the employer’s concern.
Absolutely. That'll go in lockstep with upgrading to 16.3 :)
It seems to me that the author would generally be sympathetic to Damore's memo (but who knows for sure) based on the views espoused in this post, so I don't quite understand your point.
