This is pretty clearly a joke, but it’s a bad joke, so I’m going to respond on the meta.

Cheating on a partner in a committed relationship is not polyamory. Polyamory is a relationship predicated on communication about boundaries and desires across the relationship chain.

We’re not socialized to communicate about relationships very well, and especially about intimate relationships, so this is sometimes hard for people to imagine.
When all the boomers sell, the sudden influx of houses on the market is will lower prices so that people like me (I'm in my early 30's) won't have to pay a million dollars for a 2 bedroom condo. On the other hand would falling housing prices cause another recession (I'm no economist) cause me or other people like me to lose their jobs and not be able to afford a house anyway?
They're not families according to the usual definition, and I don't see how two parents could live with their children together as a unit without them being monogamous.

Which is why the Heathrow Connect (as was, it's about to become part of the new Crossrail line and has changed name and operator in the past 2 months I gather), which costs about £11 and runs on the exact same line but stops on the way and takes about 25 mins, has eaten its lunch.
Democratically is a stretch, republic-ly is more accurate. True democracy, everyone could simply vote by a handheld device, without registering to vote, all citizens regardless of criminal background would be allowed, and they'd be given an entire month to do so. Then the popular vote would say who's elected or not. No gerrymandering, technically in a true democracy we wouldn't have a president, though. We'd vote on issues that people bring up and we'd be the policy makers, and electorate at the same time.

Personally I like the liquid-democracy prototypes where we can 'delegate' our votes to others on matters when we don't have an opinion or we trust someone else's opinion, but can take that back at any moment if they fuck up.

Though, one way to more 'democratize' current elections by simply changing one thing would be having run-off voting. That alone could make elections way more fair, and especially more fair for 3rd parties.

We're far from living in a democratic nation though. It's a Republic (at best), but the elitist control, it's really an Oligarchy disguised as a Republic, pretending to be a Democracy.
It's not some landlords who randomly drive prices up, they just respond to increases in property value.

I have two nitpicks with the study:

1. It uses a two-bedroom home as a baseline instead of a one-bedroom. While I understand that may be interesting for historical reasons, it's not a practical metric for modern considerations. If we want to talk about housing affordability, it's more honest to discuss one-bedroom apartments for single earners. We could also talk about two-bedroom apartments for dual-income earners.

2. The 30% pre-tax rent metric doesn't make sense to me at all. Why would that be invariant across income levels, and across states, given both graduated taxation and the vast differences in both income tax and sales tax across different states? In California, 30% pre-tax works might work out to more than 40-45% post-tax, depending on your income, and the remainder doesn't translate well to purchasing power given varying state sales taxes.

I'm not saying that affordable housing is not a problem, because it clearly is. Just that, to address the problem honestly, we need to use better metrics to figure out what a fair solution is.
Might not be what your looking for, but what about something like stylebot to give your production sites a red border?
Number of sales (or customers) is a vanity metric favored by startups looking to entice investment. Revenue is a metric useful for measuring actual business health.

Any chance the interviewer was overly exit eager ?
I wish I was so lucky as to live somewhere where sites that violate my rights blocked me instead, as the case happens. Note that while it may take a couple extra seconds to find a workaround, the archive.is site respects the user's rights, so in the end, the user benefits from this process.

I see GDPR-blocked comments are kinda like I see "paywall" comments: After a while, people noting a given site is blocked is just off-topic. It doesn't add anything people won't very quickly find out for themselves. I usually downvote them so they don't clutter up the main discussion.

Meanwhile, a comment providing a way around the paywall, generally will get an upvote, because they're saving everyone else time, so we can all get to the real discussion.
If your apartment in Oakland was built before 1976, it's rent controlled and that's definitely illegal. Even if there wasn't a former lease, they can't raise the rent by more than a certain amount, often less than 1%.

You hit on something important which is there's a difference between being a programmer and being a programmer on a team. Working together on something creative like a codebase or a design is a whole different set of skills that's arguable more important than just being good at programming.

Sounds like a topic for a best selling book!
I've been exploring large-scale structures built using the "Tensegrity" concepts of Bucky Fuller and Ken Snelson. I'm pretty sure you can build really large structures using modern materials (e.g. kevlar and carbon fiber.) Call it "giga-tech" (like nano-tech but scale up instead of down.)

One thing in particular that seems feasible is a large floating structure, like a mile-high pyramid, placed on an ocean at the equator, and supporting a launch structure.

I think you can make a very large whip-like jointed spaceframe that acts like a catapult to accelerate payloads.

By enclosing the outer surface with a membrane you can use solar energy to evaporate water, then condense it at the top of the structure into holding tanks. The mass of the water powers the whip like a trebuchet. (Or you can extract electricity using the principle of Lord Kelvin's Thunderstorm.)

I'm pretty sure it would work. No advanced technology or concepts used at all. I don't quite have the chops to do the back-of-envelope math though. Right now I'm working on computer simulations (Finite Element Method.) I'm fortunate that NASA has a program working on tensegrity robots for exploring the surfaces of other planets, and they have released a tool that can simulate tensegrity structures.

One other thing, in re: rockets and drag. I can't find a reference right now, but electrifying a rocket with a charge difference from the nose to the tail can significantly reduce drag as the field accelerates the air itself.
> how to improve it

Give up on type inference, or at least type inference across modules and classes.
> I and society are not compelling you to do anything, but I and also society at large can certainly comment on it.

I think this is the root issue here. We have freedom of association, but there should be no expectation that there will be no social commentary when you exercise that freedom.

For my part, I have a theory that polyamory has historically been marginalized except for in fairly small, homogenous cultures, might be due to the fact that when a polyamorus relationship fails there are many more people intimitaly tied to the fall out. In a monogamous relationships there's generally only two people so emotionally invested as to be damaging. Thus, in a community there are more emotionally detatched people available to help move on. All just a theory though.
You can get a life expectancy of 100 by putting all your senior citizens (who are much more susceptible to infections, broken bones, etc) on IV nutrition in iron lungs in an intensive care wing. That would be awful.

Better to measure quality-adjusted life-years, in a way that accounts for the fact that it's sometimes better to take a risk of death with a possibility of full recovery over a guarantee of lost function.

I can't possibly enumerate all possible metrics and their effects, but I bet we could do pretty well at imagining faults for anything that can be constructed.
I think your lack of cynicism is misguided. CostCo doesn't "care" about anything but its bottom line, like any other corporation.
In the same way, the only things he owes to "society" are fulfillment of those voluntary contracts.
Wow, this is a really fantastic comment, and very insightful.

I think you're onto something here: standard monogamous relationships make it easier to hide problems or ignore them, and you can't do that with polyamory.
Opening satellite offices all over the midwest, NE, and south is just begging to happen. Cost of living is comparatively dirt cheap in MN, MI, WI, OH, IL, IN, MS, TN, GA, AR, AL, NY (outside of NYC), PA, etc, and quality of life is very high. But alas those locations aren't trendy, so the west coast obsession continues despite the wild costs.
We do something similar. I have a directory structure like:

And store that in a git repository and publish it. We're starting to look at documentation generation tools (like Sphinx and readthedocs) to help make a pretty website for endusers.
From the discussion from 2 days ago: "Hi there, original tweeter here. Just to clarify: no one said when this work would land, simply that we are working on it! Sorry to disappoint" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17300893
I think this implementation is intended as a toy or proof of concept, maybe something like this could be used but I doubt this specific one would ever be used in a product. Seems like a lot of overhead for a single-purpose microcontroller. PIC32 is also not a super popular architecture, especially not in Asia (not saying it's bad, just that ARM has pretty much won that fight already). I'm not a super expert on that sort of thing, but casually I can't remember ever seeing a PIC32 in the wild.
Absolutely correct. However that can lead to scores of unique problems on their own, from overdevelopment exacerbating the effects of natural disasters (like the flood zone houses being destroyed last year), to utterly hellish development decisions.

I once Googled “Houston zoning fail” with my fiancée when she didn’t believe me that Houston had no zoning laws. We saw an arial photo of a huge skyscraper right next to a low density residential neighborhood and maybe 30 parking spots at best, and we laughed for 10 minutes straight.
I started my first business while I was in college, and kept it going on the side while working the real job. After a year at the real job, I decided to leave and focus on the business.

What happened to your company from college-- did you shut it down? Sell it? Did it die on its own?

I don't think anyone can tell you whether it's the right time for you. Neither decision is permanent, though: If you do leave and it doesn't go well, it shouldn't be hard to go back to your old job or find a new one. "I took a year off, started a business, learned a lot, failed, and now I want a job" should go over well with most employers. If you don't leave, you can spend the next year learning more from your employer while tinkering with your idea on the side -- and then leave next year.

As you age, you'll tend to accumulate obligations. Marriage, kids, mortgage, elderly parents/relatives that need care, medical problems of your own -- things like this will make it harder and more risky to quit your job later in life. So if you're going to do it, your 20s are a great time.
Well it wouldn't be difficult to avoid that fate these days, would it?

I assume they will be using TypeScript, async/await and so on. It's a pretty great language to write in, certainly comparable with C# in terms of maintainability IMO. And a later tweet clarifies that it's being used with React Native to create an actual native app rather than force a webview everywhere.

Everyone has a gut reaction to news like this, but it sounds good to me, and the reasons for doing it seem pretty clear.
I'm not sure why you think these things are mutually exclusive. And as far as Goodhart's Law is concerned in this case, they're intertwined concepts.

The government's choice to allow securities rated by S&P/Moody's to be treated as gospel allowed/encouraged banks, insurance companies, GSE's and pension funds to take far more risk than was systemically reasonable.

I've always thought it would be cool to create a site which matched people living on a dime trying to do something interesting (art, tech, music, ...) with cities/suburbs (i.e. urban development organizations) looking to diversify and grow a culture scene. Like Sacramento/Gilroy/Detroit/Yakima.

Sort of like an Airbnb but matching cities/towns and culture makers wanting permanent, low cost housing.
> Made me wonder if it would make sense on these SoC targets to dynamically load a program from external storage and write into internal flash for execution, then start running it without a reboot.

There is less reason for this today because high-capacity, high write-count storage is cheap. But I have seen it done, e.g. in order to retrofit redundant firmware update schemes on devices that do not originally support it. A long time ago I looked into something like this for one of the devices I was working on at the time (the firmware was stored in the internal flash of the MCU, but was steadily growing, and we'd eventually run out of space to hold two copies; however, we also had a larger, cheaper, slower external flash that we could use).

The write cycles cap of flash devices can make it a bad idea under some scenarios, but that's a decision you make on a case-by-case basis. ZOMG THIS IS FLASH DO NOT REWRITE IT is not exactly a clever design solution.

I have next to none experience with ECL chips, but recall in the 80s the 11C90 ECL divider which was the only affordable choice if one needed a prescaler for his frequency counter to measure frequencies of several hundred MHz. That chip ran hot compared to other TTL ones, but a few years on, probably late 80s, I used a 8 pin DIL ECL chip for a PLL (can't remember the name) which I recall running much cooler than the 11C90. They probably improved the technology before it got surpassed by more modern ones.

Some of these SoC targets (like the STM32F4x9 series) have SDRAM controllers so you can put 4 - 16MB of RAM on them.
its not really a mess for its usecase.

its immutable infrastructure at its heart, so yeah, you don't do updates on containers... what you do need is periodic rebuild of your images for upgrades and each new image needs to run all integration and system tests again.

it just makes this process easier than it is without docker. But it doesnt alleviate you of writing the system that actually keep everything updated in an automated way.

It also doesnt help you deploy unless you're already experienced with docker.
and while we'Re on the topic... no, if you know how to execute 'docker run -it --rm ubuntu bash' you still don't know shit about it. sigh sorry, i'm just remembering someone from work today...

yeah I get why they're doing it, it just feels mis-calibrated. Everyone talks about self driving cars packing in as tight as train cars but what I'm seeing currently is them using 4x the space at least. And yes I know it's not L5 driving, but at this rate, 90% of cars in 10-15 years will be this spaced out by default. Rip commute times.
