Affordable housing is easy, increase the amount of available housing to allow for an increase in supply to drive down demand. If you do not increase available housing because of NIMBYISM, landlords wanting to keep supply limited, ridiculous rules for supply creation (San Francisco's rules and regulations for permit application are a great example), historic districts (forcing creators to adhere to maintain old and outdated buildings that require significant investment to meet codes), and politicians who would like to avoid having to figure out a new voter base, then you will never see houses that make financial sense to maintain.

As a thought experiment, how many more people could live in San Francisco city limits if you added three stories to the current limit (which is three I believe). You double the available supply, reduce / address demand and increase the opportunity for transit usage. However, if you proposed this idea, you do not have to worry about re election.

The politicians will say it is difficult, then use public funds to add 1,000 affordable homes, which is a drop in the bucket to addressing the supply issue. Do note, that when the affordable housing allotted to the skyscraper in New York City, the affordable housing facilities were given out by the city and conveniently, if I recall, a city counselor's relative got one of the homes.

I don't understand your point, or maybe it's just the tone.

You seem to be treating "static typing is better" as a fact of life that people working with dynamic languages eventually learn if they're "lucky".

This is completely at odds with, well, reality: static vs dynamic has been going on for over sixty years, essentially since the first days of computer science. You fall in one camp, all the power to you, but it isn't better and doesn't make you "more lucky".

They have their pros and cons and many a paper and book has been written comparing them.

A choice quote from the article:

> People who are given a job start off as apprentices, during which they go through a 10-month job training and life-skills course.

I found the part about life-skills pretty interesting. I have long thought that occupations keep specializing and populations keep growing the way the have, that some people will no doubt miss out learning about things that others may take for granted / learn from their own life experience.
I tend to agree with you that there are problems with teaching kids how to use proprietary software like Microsoft Office, but this is a bit different.

It's not like Minecraft is a business tool that you're teaching to school kids, who will then go on to use it when they graduate. It's an educational tool.

This would be like complaining that Carl Sagan's Cosmos or Bill Nye the Science Guy are copyrighted videos.

In modern political discourse, democratic socialism and social democracy are considered interchangeable, and that's what I stated in the parent comment applies to Canada and it seems that's a pretty good model and consensus description.

Interesting...so when enough "life insurance" has been taken out on someone, it becomes more profitable to protect them or to kill them, depending on what the relative odds are, and which side the potential assassins have placed their money?

As someone who has worked in the industry, I agree with one caveat:

> The basic idea with bookmaking without risk is that you want your books balanced

This is not the business model of every bookie. In the UK the standard retail bookies will set wide spreads and aggressively ban accounts that appear savvy (or appear to be automated.)

The big betting venue in Europe (at least back when I knew things) is an exchange, though. They take no outcome risk and make money either way, though typically more if the underdog wins.

In Asia some of the top bookies have yet another business model: they are really just institutional gamblers whose business is to know the outcome statistics better than anyone else. They employ shitloads of data scientists and they will take large bets from smart punters. They run gambling websites because it's better to gamble "on their own terms". When they want to bet against another large gambling shop, they move the odds so the spreads overlap the right way and wait for arbitrageurs to match-make.
The title is clickbait bullshit. Here's the money quote:

> Public-health experts worry about the increasingly potent options available, and the striking number of constant users. “Cannabis is potentially a real public-health problem,” said Mark A. R. Kleiman, a professor of public policy at New York University. “It wasn’t obvious to me 25 years ago, when 9 percent of self-reported cannabis users over the last month reported daily or near-daily use. I always was prepared to say, ‘No, it’s not a very abusable drug. Nine percent of anybody will do something stupid.’ But that number is now [something like] 40 percent.”

I mean, "daily" is not "constant". And the quote only claims "daily or near-daily use". I have, on occasion in Mexico or Amsterdam, smoked constantly, except while asleep. And that's a very different trip than a few hits before sex and sleep.

And perhaps worse, there's not much to the article than anecdotes, which have obviously been selected for negative experiences.
My thoughts exactly, this is a perfect use case for Jenkins.

Canada tried increasing cigarette taxes a lot a couple decades ago. The result was the emergence of a black market, smuggling, and drive-by shootings of the rival smuggling gangs.

I think the answer to this problem is to require H1B holders to be paid 25-50% above prevailing wage for that job type or sector, which would preclude just picking up someone on H1B for cost reasons.

While it has happened, the West's free trade and globalist policies are built on the belief that trade greatly reduces the odds of war. The WTO, the UN, the EU, etc. are all built on the idea that strong/fair economic ties reduce the risk of WWI/WWII type conflicts.

> It's a meta-process.

I was told this early in my time in Labs: "Pivotal is a meta-process shop".

My version is: "Pivotal Labs is a debating society which produces code as a by-product".

It works. We spend a lot of time reflecting and overall, we keep improving. It's the first place I've worked at where I can see continuous improvement occurring. Not the slogans about improvement, not the Department of the Bureau of Efficacious Improvementology, but actual hey-this-is-better-than-it-was-6-months-ago improvement.

We already have a much more liquid terrorism futures market, i.e. the regular stock market. Worrying about incentives for a large attack from a prediction market is missing the ocean for a hypothetical raindrop.

I have a related question. How do you bypass them in the context of an RSS reader/podcatcher? I was building a service to parse some podcast feeds into JSON, and noticed they were failing on NPR podcasts. Pulled up the URL fine on my laptop, but it failed in Hetzner.

Of course, it failed because it was getting some sort of GDPR page at the podcast feed URL. I'm wondering if there was some way around this, because it's not like podcatchers can opt into something via an RSS feed...can they? I'm pretty sure I passed headers only accepting feed content-types, but even that wasn't enough.

Sure I can host elsewhere, but I just didn't care enough about the project to do that. But if there's a way around this, then I might pick it up again.

It's not either-or, really. If you run an exchange you can bet on it (maybe depending on jurisdiction.) Then you get the commission or the winnings. IIRC matchbook.com do that though I may have been misinformed.

Threading vs. Multiprocessing in Python
Other than credential-spotting ( looking up how many esteemed institutions a person is associated with ) how does one decide whose book to even peruse and whose to dismiss.

Its really mind numbing that we have so much confusion in such an important space as nutrition.

Just look at the credentials of the expert that Ms.Teicholz [1] blames for this mess:

Alice H. Lichtenstein is a senior scientist and director
of the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at the HNRCA,
as well as a Stanley N. Gershoff Professor of Nutrition
Science and Policy at the Friedman School.

Lichtenstein also serves as the executive editor of the
Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter.

Education
Hon. Ph.D., 2005, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kuopio (Finland)
D.Sc., 1979, Nutritional Biochemistry, Harvard University
M.S., 1975, Nutritional Biochemistry, Harvard University
M.S., 1973, Nutrition, State College, Pennsylvania State University
B.S., 1971, Nutrition, Cornell University

Ms. Teicholz was mentioned earlier in the discussion in the threads above.[2]

At this point it's a backwards compatibility issue. Like you say for Ohm they now recommend using the omega symbol[1] but there's still code out there using the Ohm symbol.

Solving that wouldn't have helped in the Spotify case though since there's a ton of other edge cases like combining characters 'e' + ' ́' vs precomposed characters 'é' which still cause the need for an idempotent canonicalization of usernames.

Not to get too far from the topic at hand, but I came across the Spotify article earlier this week while looking to support Unicode usernames in an application. After consideration I've decided to just lock things down to ASCII for now. It's just too big a case to consider and there are bigger fish to fry.

wow, thanks for the link! Found this incredible quote from Carl Sagan that describes it perfectly:

> "There is a myth about such highs: the user has an illusion of great insight, but it does not survive scrutiny in the morning. I am convinced that this is an error, and that the devastating insights achieved when high are real insights; the main problem is putting these insights in a form acceptable to the quite different self that we are when we’re down the next day. Some of the hardest work I’ve ever done has been to put such insights down on tape or in writing. The problem is that ten even more interesting ideas or images have to be lost in the effort of recording one. It is easy to understand why someone might think it’s a waste of effort going to all that trouble to set the thought down, a kind of intrusion of the Protestant Ethic. But since I live almost all my life down I’ve made the effort – successfully, I think. Incidentally, I find that reasonably good insights can be remembered the next day, but only if some effort has been made to set them down another way. If I write the insight down or tell it to someone, then I can remember it with no assistance the following morning; but if I merely say to myself that I must make an effort to remember, I never do."

I think the problem is who controls the container world. Companies like Facebook and Google do not build their businesses on developer tools, but they collectively benefit with open source. Docker may very well not benefit much from open source because their business is containers and sharing the secret sauce does not make them more money.
And take a massive pay cut? Even among rich countries and even for underpaid H-1B workers, tech salaries are generally much higher in the US, and most of them don't come from rich countries.

Clearly you can see there is a difference between what a company needs to do to keep an H-1B employee from leaving the country, and what they need to do to keep a permanent resident employee from switching jobs?

I'm not suggesting we should rely on the study to prove moral plasticity. I'm suggesting that evidence of moral plasticity is all around us, and it is a shame that the flaws of this one study (that has become associated with it in the public consciousness) seem to be used to refute moral plasticity.

It would be great if there was another study, that maybe took a very different approach that wasn't so likely to have huge ethical problems.

Honestly I'd think that companies like facebook and twitter and quora and the like could study the concept pretty easily, but I'm sure people would complain about the ethics of that as well.

I think your analogy is 100% spot on. I'm not arguing that the startup industry isn't shady, I'm arguing that it is and, much like the shady used car industry, and much like you said, you can totally find good deals if you know what you're doing. Yes, like any way of making a lot of money, it is hard to know what you're doing and founders promising you millions in 2 years, like all get rich quick schemes, don't work out, it turns out. Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water though.

> They don't tell you anything you need to know. "You'll get X shares, which we estimate to be worth roughly a gazillion dollars when we exit, since we'll be taking over a bajillion dollar market."

I have literally only once been told what shares would be worth on an exit and it was the first, worst company I ever worked for. Every other time I have been told total # shares and current FMV. You're correct this is a sign for dogshit founders though.

> That really is all you'll typically hear in the pitch talks. Seems like the vast majority of engineers never ask. So now when I ask for more information, I'm the odd one out. I got weird stares just for asking about the total size of the equity pool (!).

My experience with this has only been positive. I have always found that founders respect you for asking these kinds of questions, even if they don't want to give you the information. If a founder reacts poorly, again, that's your free sign to leave.

But look: yes, most people aren't good at starting startups and so most equity is worthless. Some of them are trying to screw you, but most of them just don't understand themselves. Don't buy most used cars. Don't join most startups. Don't live your life through simplistic stereotypes like sleazy used car salesman and misleading startup founder.

Anyway all I can really do is offer my assistance in helping others figure this stuff out, as I did in a previous post. This can be a frustrating industry but it can be rewarding as well.

Where I work we have a similar product where we run all scheduled tasks on our Mesos cluster. Same idea as a uni cCron. You have a task that is executed every N minutes/hours/days, it runs on a box, and does its thing.

It doesn't replace every cron job, but it is distributed, fault tolerant, and only breaks when the hadoop cluster backs up. The product mentioned here seems like a good solution for a team that needs to execute linux crons without much overhead.
There are so many drafting combinations that it's not quite obvious it's a bad idea until you hit the 3 minute mark.

One of my favorite parts of Python is the idempotent type casting functions.

Say you have a function that takes a list as input, but sometimes a tuple is passed. Wrapping the input like lvalues = list(values), ensures that lvalues will always be a list (or it throws a type error), so you won't get annoying attribute errors, when trying to access the list's methods. In the case of a list type(list([])).__name__ == 'list', as does type(list(list([]))).__name__, etc.

This can get a bit tricky with situations where type casting may be undesirable, say casting a string to a list. So judicious use is necessary.
