> I don't see how your post answers syllogism's question

I see, I had previously only answered WHY it was "clean enough" to get into "any equity investment". Its not clean, it just doesn't matter.

The answer to how you perceived the question is the cash flow and scalability. The real estate market is still unbounded, and areas with scarcity have the effect of continuing to drive demand. Other asset classes don't have these perks all in one.

You need new money coming out reliably and quickly. REITs are just useful bespoke packages managed by someone else without you needing to figure out that infrastructure.

Ask HN: How to find a prioritization coach for software engineers
Hi folks,

I’m a software engineer in London who’s been out of uni for 6.5 years now. I never learned how to prioritize my time. When I have a day with multiple things I could possibly focus on, I either ask my tech lead, ask my wife, pick based on deadline, or pick at random in order to avoid sitting there for an hour being indecisive. I’m trying to take on project-leadership role and I think part of this is going to require being able to think about prioritization without feeling overwhelmed or having an emotional breakdown.

I would like to learn how to confidently decide how to prioritize a list of 6-10 tasks. How can I find a coach or therapist whom I can pay to give me mental/emotional/technical skills to do this?

This person would probably also need to understand the difficulty (impossibility?) of estimating software tasks and be able to coach me through or around that.

I’m an American based in London, so probably looking for someone who can videochat from the US after 6pm GMT.
I think tiered pricing makes more sense at that level of subscription.

Netflix is global, so at some level their product and pricing has to reflect what the "lower middle class" in Turkey, China, and Brazil can bear. We know that cable providers have succeeded in getting more for less in this market, so Netflix could profitably charge more for more in some regions.

I would guess that divide can't be reconciled, but by launching another layer of content/service at a higher price-per-month could let them maximize revenue. Netflix+ or something, paired to exploit some newer technology that isn't central to other services...

It's an interesting hypothesis but they lost me at the part about ADHD. I abused substances when I was younger until eventually I learned healthy, constructive coping mechanisms and now I've been happily sober for years. That's an example of maturity helping someone out of addiction.

Contrast that will ADD/ADHD. I'm not convinced it has anything to do with maturity or a lack thereof. Sure, mindfulness meditation helps quite a bit. But I think you can be mature, self sufficient, polite, etc, and yet still have ADHD, or immature, etc. and have ADHD. Not to say I'm a shining beacon of perfection with no room for self improvement, but the point is there's little to no correlation there.

Judging by what ACLU says, asking about your alien status is all legal. After all, USA does have a lot of immigrants staying illegally. We need them etc., but the agency is tasked with removing them and stopping the flow.

The main problem is not the law, it's DHS doing illegal stuff: https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone...
"The Supreme Court has upheld the use of immigration checkpoints, but only insofar as the stops consist only of a brief and limited inquiry into residence status. Checkpoints cannot be primarily used for drug-search or general law enforcement efforts. In practice, however, Border Patrol agents often do not limit themselves to brief immigration inquiries and regularly conduct criminal investigations and illegal searches at checkpoints. The Border Patrol also frequently pulls over motorists in "roving patrol" stops, often without any suspicion that an immigration violation has occurred."

How to create your own Dockerfile for a rapid Dokku deployment
Makes sense. Drugs get boring. The euphoria fades. Then it becomes normal. And if chronic use continues, one eventually finds oneself, quite suddenly, in the grips of dependency. But then the appeal finally fades, too, when it becomes clear that the highs of yore that you still chase are gone forever - and suddenly it is worthwhile to brave the throes of a tapered withdrawal, or quit cold turkey, depending on the flavor of the poison.

But the cravings probably won't go away forever. The ever seductive siren of intoxication will whisper it's sweet songs into your ear, beckoning with lustful reveries of that familiar bliss that you once knew, nearer, louder in strife. Alas, with time, the voice softens, should you have the will to resist recurring temptations in the meanwhile.
> Organized crime isn't "the mob." It's any criminal enterprise

Then you need to stop using the term "organized crime" because it has a pretty specific meaning. If it's "any criminal enterprise" then we just call that "crime" - and once again, you are referring to the law to define morality.

Polymorphism doesn't require anything to do with OOP or objects themselves, see clojure multi methods as an extremely pure example that involves nothing even close to an object.

Protocols or typeclasses are also ways to implement functionality over (usually) immutable data. I don't see the relation to a mutable object with a closed set of methods defined at compile time.
Open source textbooks could theoretically be better than paid but generally speaking the big problem is that there usually isn't enough people to actually "care" for the book so to speak. Eventually the original writers lose interest and move on. For other open source books...they end up only becoming half written....and then turn into abandonware....see wikibooks.

You could solve the problem with something like a wiki but I've seen that usually results in quality problems. It isn't like a wiki article where all the results can basically see what has been written. With a wikibook though...you need all writers to basically know where stuff has already been explained...otherwise you just get a bunch of people explaining x here and then other people explaining the same thing in a later chapter.
Usually, I follow a general rule of thumb:

* For domain language (entities, services, value objects) use OOP as it is better at communicating intent

* For data processing and low-level algorithms (usually happens inside OOP methods) use FP style as it is less error-prone.

The original promise of GMOs was food products healthier for the environment utilizing less pesticides. The real world application of GMOs fails to deliver on this promise, utilizing greater quantities of pesticides placing us in a worse situation than we were before they were developed. GMOs have typically resorted to exploitive and predatory business practices which fostered negative implications for the farming industry as a whole.

That meaning is a criminal enterprise. The mob is organized crime. Drug cartels are organized crime. Any organization against which RICO might be used is organized crime.

No, just “crime” doesn't require an enterprise. A criminal enterprise is organized crime.

I would highly recommend ASU's College Algebra and Problem Solving [1]. They have a large comprehensive test at the beginning that determines your knowledge. Should you be missing knowledge, they'll use the same platform to teach you all the prerequisites (i.e. they won't let you take the course until you go through ALEKS, their learning platform). After that's done, this course is something like preparation for college math classes.

So far, I like it a lot, thanks to ALEKS. Give it a shot; it's free.

Here's my gripe with Fortran: as a computer scientists that works with combustion chemists, astrophysicists, and nuclear physicists, it's disheartening to see the number of domain specific optimizations that these scientists hand code over and over and over ad nauseam in hundreds of code bases all around the world simply because they think their Fortran compilers are good enough. They don't realize that it would be much more productive if their communities standardized around individual DSL compilers capable of doing higher level transformations specific to their individual domains so they don't have to do complicated transformations by hand (and often mess them up). It's fine if those DSL compilers generate Fortran out the back end so they can interoperate with existing optimized Fortran libraries, but holy hell people, we are living in the 21st century, can we please stop programming in primitive data types (without any unit type checking to boot!) and calling MPI send/recv directly. Scientists have better things to be doing with their time than managing bits directly; raise the level of abstraction by building community specific DSLs, standardize, and let's get on with our lives.
I agree with you. I think the "I simply grew out of it" is a realization that comes when I think about it after a couple years clean. It's obviously not that simple, and there were many other factors involved. It's also the easiest answer when I ask myself why I'm clean, rather than the hundreds of other reasons I would actually have to list. So I think it might just be a lazy answer for most people who are clean. I know it is for me.

Good on you for staying clean, friend.

The article actually says c++ would be best to follow Python’s import model, which makes no sense to me. It doesn’t work to try to get the compiler to go compile other modules when you import them, because it has no way to know how you want them compiled (build switches, #defines, pre-compilation steps, etc). The eventual answer has to leave the dependency-relationship of modules to the build system; I don’t understand how that can even be up for debate in a c++ context. If the proposals include pulling a standard build system into the compiler, then they have very little chance of gaining traction.

$49 and 20% Off, Ultimate Cisco Certification Super Bundle: Lifetime Access
It's so difficult to answer this as everyone's experience will be different. I do know that there were certain periods of my life where I didn't smoke pot because I was just very active with something or the other and did not want to be lazy. But I was probably using an upper during that time to "be productive".

There's also got to be some kind of chemical/medical aspect to how a certain substance affects you individually, apart from how it affects everyone else. I was more of a cafeteria drug user and got bored really quickly and the only objective was to be high(or low), not necessarily an obsession with one kind of drug. For instance, heroin withdrawals were never stereotypical for me. I'd always thought of it as a high wearing off, and would fix it with any other drug that was available, it didn't strictly have to be heroin.

I'm not surprised, because this topic has exactly zero to do with science, health, or truth. It's all about trust issues. About abuse on one end used by the other side to fertilize the public perception with bullshit.

Alas, I wish people complaining about "chemicals" in food and "ripen on the shelf" tomatoes and stuff would realize how big a logistic hurdle it is to feed 7 billion people.

And if the behavior described in the post is real, it goes even higher because a decent investment return is not the goal.
