... that's compared to +1.5% in SF/Alameda on houses 2-3x the cost and worse size/quality (and up to a 1.5% transfer tax in some cities).

California has the highest state income tax, near top sales tax rates and if you are a recent home buyer some of the highest absolute property taxes (thanks to the price dynamic described above). Plus you get screwed on federal SALT caps, mortgage interest deduction and maybe AMT.

If you take studies that compare the gross earnings of men and women and control for some of the obvious differences in decision-making, the gender gap tends to disappear. For example, I remember hearing of a study that looked at something like "single, childless people aged 25-34 with a college degree and living in an urban environment." In this narrow demographic slice, women made something like 2% more money than men.

And then if you look at the US census data on occupations by gender, you can easily notice a trend in which jobs have what gender ratios. Roughly speaking it's something like "if the pay and requirements are equivalent, which is a more preferable job" often lands on female dominated fields.

Education, training, and library occupations: 73.1% female
Healthcare support occupations: 86.5%
Law enforcement workers including supervisors: 19.7%
Office and administrative support occupations: 70.8%
Natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations: 5.1%
Production, transportation, and material moving occupations: 22.8%

The one big outlier to this pattern that I noticed was "Computer, engineering, and science occupations" at 25.7%. This also is a considerable category outlier in terms of skill requirements and competitiveness. "Management occupations" seems like it should also have some of this effect but to a lesser degree, and sits at 40.3%.

Source: American Community Survey, table S2401

Another interesting tidbit is comparing S2401 with S2402 - comparing all workers with only full-time year-round ones. I haven't done a full look, but one thing that jumped out at me is that excluding part-time or part-year workers drops the overall workforce percentage from 47.5% to 43.1%. It might be confounded somewhat by school teachers being considered "part year" and mostly women, though.

Yes, that was a weird mistake for someone in the author's position to make.

That said, I may not understand what a 'load dump' condition is, myself -- I always thought it referred to the common case where a high current load is switched off abruptly, causing the voltage to spike until the alternator's regulator circuit can respond by reducing the field coil current.

Disconnecting the battery would not be expected to cause such a condition, since the charging current is not all that high most of the time compared to other loads. I wouldn't expect much of anything to happen when disconnecting the battery from a running car. It should just keep running.
So are the two cities going to cut their economic package in half considering they're getting half the jobs? Bet you they're not.

The Apple "experience" includes lots of little niceties that only work with Apple software running on Apple hardware (or, for those who live dangerously, a "Hackintosh").

The touchpad on my 2013 MacBook Pro doesn't click properly anymore, and I don't much care for the newer models, so I ended up buying a ThinkPad X1 Extreme (running Linux). Unfortunately, it's meant giving up lots of little things like iMessage integration, AirDrop, Continuity, synchronization with iCloud, etc.

Yes, several of these features have alternatives that do work nicely on Linux, but the experience usually isn't as seamless, especially on the iOS side. And while most of the bits above could probably be reverse engineered, I can totally understand why open source developers (many of them volunteers) might not be enthusiastic about spending their time improving compatibility with a closed platform that won't reciprocate.
Phi is 64 or 68 cores laid out on a grid, each with 4 way hyperthreading, in addition to AVX512 SIMD. The typical programming model makes it look like a CPU but calling it a SIMD system is odd.

Here's the secret: it's total BS.

"Hustle" is almost always BS. And real hustle is a red flag. If people can't get what needs to get done within predefined work hours, it's either a reflection of incompetency or poor time management.

I worked at one of the ad holding companies mentioned for a few years, and the magic behind the curtain is that there's no magic behind the curtain.

Agencies by and large blow smoke up the clients' behinds as a matter of standard practice. And the clients typically know this (though I'm not sure they know the full extent of it), but put up with it because the work they are engaging an agency for makes more sense to outsource to the agencies, and since all agencies are posturing, they simply pick who they think BS'ed best (as if that's a reflection of what will actually get done).

When I was there, it was all about BSing digital competency and foresight. Everyone was trying to claim a better finger on the pulse of change. Now that change has somewhat slowed down (no major hardware upsets in the past few or next few years), it makes sense to start behaving more like a commoditized service and trying to brand oneself as offering greater efficiency than one's counterparts.

Which is why if I was still in the industry today, my pitch deck would probably include a slide about how you won't hear us talking about "hustle" because it should only be necessary if you're not optimizing your work day (and including out of country examples of functioning companies working even less than standard hours and doing great work, and numbers about productivity tanking as hours go up). "So you could pick a 'hustle' agency, but are they spending their 'productive' hours on you, or are they billing you for those extra hours operating at lower efficiency? If you see an agency claiming to 'hustle', personally we'd suggest hustling in the other direction ASAP."

What? We most certainly can introduce a tax on cancer. Don't you know anything about US health care? We can make cancer in remission a pre-existing condition, and make those who have it practically uninsurable, so that their next major health-impacting event bankrupts them, or kills them, or both.

If someone with cancer dies, their cancer also dies. Net result: less cancer. (Unless it is important to research, such as HeLa. In that case, the cancer can go on living with all expenses paid, and the human it came from can be forgotten, and their estate uncompensated.)

Which is such a part of the metro that the Atlanta Braves' stadium is there.

Like it's only not annexed by Atlanta because they made a ten foot wide city called Chattahoochee Plantation on the border of the county.

EDIT: It's like saying that Arlington isn't part of DC, which while technically true, misses the whole point. Atlanta proper is only about 1/10 the population of the metro.

From the blog, a "syndicate" situation sounds like when investors around the table are of relatively equal size and power. In that case, a consensus is required to move forward.

My guess is Softbank at Uber owns the largest single stake and has the deepest pockets to fund further growth. They bought out part of TK's founding stake iirc. That means they can probably dictate terms unilaterally if investors needed to put more cash in and would also have a veto if external money was involved.

(This is just my guess based on news and I have no inside info)

That's the thing, quantity of 'acceptable' quality of work is valued over how high that quality might be. The minimum time is taken to proof and bugfix, because failures are addressed after they've already come up in order to pump out more product in shorter time. It's velocity, and high enough velocity overcomes any setback that affects a companies pocketbook. Entry level and middle management is burned out but quickly turned over and refilled with fresh meat from each graduating class, those that suffer through and keep up their velocity move up, eventually reaching a point in their career where they don't have to worry about their own output but rather the output of those under them. Your immediate manager in your garage will surely understand the value of your work, but your CEO is only concerned with getting to the absolute minimum time a truck is sitting in your garage idle rather than moving product on the highway, and your manager is probably fighting him on keeping or raising minimum time every quarter.
> Rather, what he advocates is that you should use a language that supports multiple cleanly separated concepts (close to what is called multiparadigm), and then you select the simplest set of concepts for each program component.

Working in mostly Java shops the last 10 years has shown me that most programmers only know how to add complexity, and not restrict themselves to any strict subset of features. Spring is a good example of this - statically defined, decoupled configuration has morphed into everything configured with the full expressiveness of the host language.

I feel like a curmudgeon when no one seems to understand my preference for well defined boundaries.

Crystal City is a nightmare from a commuting perspective only if you're dead set on driving, and even then it depends very much on where you're coming from. I've lived on the Yellow/Blue lines south of DCA, now I'm in west Arlington, and I've done plenty of commuting along that corridor by bus/train/bike/car (Mt. Vernon/4 mile run/ W &OD trails for biking/running as a commute is very effective).

Also there's a relatively high concentration of metro stops as is for a section that's not urban/DC core, and Potomac Yard is finally coming in in a couple years as well. Plus a pretty high commercial vacancy and a bit of marginal land that can still be developed. I mean, the dream would be they come in there and somehow spur additional transit down Columbia Pike, but that's probably a bit too much to hope for.

It's also already not easy at all to buy a home there (speaking as someone who bought a place in Arlington a few months ago), so it must not be too awful to live there.

I genuinely feel very depressed for 4/5 days straight with very suicidal and lonely feeling (My companion is not very much into sex and 99% of time try to avoid any similar talks too). Its very difficult to talk about this also as people simply consider you pervert and don't understand or try to understand. I don't think its being pervert as I am more then willing to marry and have future, its just that I love having that high and it becomes very difficult to cope with lack of that.

Is there a difference between vertically and horizontally written languages, given that the left field of view of each eye are processed in the same half of the brain, and the right half of FOV processed in the other half of the brain?

For horizontal languages like say english, the most relevant words are to the left and right of the current word, so left context and right context are initially in different halves of the brain.

For vertical languages relevant symbols are above and below the currently observed symbol, so if there is overlap of right and left FOV then both halves have the full context, if no overlap then both halves get the full context but only partially each symbol...
