Those are some big ifs in there that you didn't mention. There are a lot of people who take our home equity loans every time their value goes up. A coworker of mine bought a house for 250k, the previous owners had bought it for 90k 20 years ago, and 6 months before selling refinanced for 200k. Each loan is carefully recorded in the title for all time. (I probably have the numbers wrong, but they they are close enough)

If you pay off your loan you are debt free in 30 years or less. However many people don't: they see their house go up in value and take out a bigger loan to spend now.

Well, perhaps so, but Linus, regarding Linux (although I think he meant mostly the kernel), said,

"I'm deadly serious: we humans have never been able to replicate something more complicated than what we ourselves are, yet natural selection did it without even thinking. Don't underestimate the power of survival of the fittest. And don't ever make the mistake that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence much too much credit."

In that light, this strikes me like complaining that we have too many kinds of beetles. Linux distributions just work this way.

I understand the traffic analysis part. I'm talking about individual MITM (e.g. an ISP) or tracking DNS operators. Can my ISP tell the endpoint I'm connecting to? With Tor, my source and destination are anonymized and that provides a level of metadata privacy (strength is debatable of course). I'm wondering if Vuvuzela, whilst comparing to Tor, offers less metadata privacy on this point.

Noise to thwart traffic analysis is wholly unrelated to endpoint obfuscation.

This sounds like reading the rules too stringently and not by their intent if you ask me, since it is asking only about information that the person is supposed to know.

It would be like saying if someone asks what the rules of the game are you aren't allowed to answer because none of the rules explicitly state that you can convey information about the rules of the game.

Don’t Americans have home insurance that covers devices?
My home insurance has both ‘all risk’ and ‘out-and-about’ optional coverage. Turning them both on raises my home insurance from ~€6 to ~€13, but it means all my stuff is insured everywhere, for every incident.
The only downsides are a €100 deductible and a per-incident cap of €2000 for electronic devices, which means that if I drop into the canal with my phone and my laptop I might not get completely made whole. Still great though, and beats the hell out of insuring all my expensive stuff separately.
With cars having increased connectivity, I wonder how much drama it would cause if the radio stopped working, fuel efficiency started going down, etc, when you were late on a car payment.
absolutely, I guess, but these sorts of things (like 40 hour work week) should probably be measured relatively.
Can you post a link to some data so we can compare both, please?
You seem to have changed "the way you think about almost everything" quite a number of times!
I read the book “The anatomy of peace” 16 months ago, and it has impacted my life in more ways than I ever would have thought possible.

It helped me understand how I created all the trouble I have experienced in my life, why I never became “succesful” and why I had felt so stuck most of my life.

I now understand how my mindset, how I see the person in front of me, either as a person or as an object, has a greater impact on my results than anything else.

Even on my abillity to be unstuck, to change my mind, to moce fast and break things.

10/10 would recommend it to anyone.
To be somewhat fair this is still an amazing benefit: “It’s now capping parental leaves at six months and giving parents a taxable $20,000 stipend to defray the costs of childcare.”

In the context that they are doing this while few other American organizations do it, and not that many other countries do something this generous.
As a parent, I would much rather take that year and use it to shorten my normal working week for as long as possible.

With 260 working days a year, you could work 4 days a week for the first five years of your child's life.

That explains why they are being so aggressive about using the app. They are trying to up these numbers for investors. I feel less hatred towards them now that I understand that.

Are those 400+ days per parent or divvied up between the parents? I imagine that can have a big impact on how the leave affects companies.
> [heading] How do they manage in Canada?

> In Canada, companies have had no option but to make 52-week parental leaves work, when requested, since 2000. The question Canadian companies ask isn’t “Can we do it?” but “How do we do it?”

Okay, so... how do they do it? They never answer the question.

If you have say, a CFO or a specialist mechanic (that you only need 1 of, but definitely need) and they take a year off, what do you do? Just go without a CFO/mechanic for the year? Or do you start the hiring search, bring in another person as a temp CFO for a year? What if you can't find a temp, so you hire someone? Is the person entitled to their old job back? Do you fire the new person or the old one?

What if the person takes parental leave again after 1 month back? Do you accept that you've torpedoed some role? Do you try to slowly phase out this person's job description and offload their work onto their coworkers?

More succinctly, what if someone is definitely necessary in the near-day-to-day, and does not do work that is interchangeable with other employees?

I'm not trying to make some kind of gotcha. I really don't know the answer, and I figured the article would answer what seem like extremely obvious questions that arise, but it didn't.

I suspect that firms have learned to deal with it, but by doing things like passively selecting against women and younger people for critical roles. Is that how they manage? Is that an improvement?

There's also something unsettling about "here's how [countries where the native birth rate is pretty much 0 or 1 babies] do parental leave!" feels a bit like... the women already did half the corporation's work for them.
I read a lot. But no one book has changed the way I think about almost everything, persistently. It will be foolish to assume, some book will magically do that.

All good ideas help, and we test those theories and decide our ourselves to keep the idea or ignore it. We are sum total of our ideas and behaviors, and it constantly evolves. Good books help with forming good ideas, and clear thinking. It varies from person to person. It could be Quran, a psychology book, or a puzzle book.

It's not "mental gymnastics" to attempt understanding the viewpoints of a different group of people. FWIW I'm atheist myself - I've just gotten to the point where I can accept that religion as a concept has some positive aspects, and that knee jerk dismissal is the exact same vein of ignorance that atheists are persecuted with.

> Atheists get their partners decisions questioned in the hospital. I can go on and on about the privileges that religion enjoys in the US ... Taking away undeserved privileges is not persecution

So, you have implied that it would be progress for a traditionally-married couple to have medical decisions for their spouses questioned, in the same manner that an unlegalized gay couple does. This is the inherent problem with framing things in terms of privileges instead of rights - it implies that the way to make things equal is to tear others down, rather than supporting rights for all.

IMO, but I'm certainly not a scholar here - if you look at the actual messages of Jesus (et al), they were preaching against the oppressive power structures of their time. Their specific dogmas were then calcified and turned into their own oppressive power structure, because real understanding requires continuing vigilance.

If you're not yet to the point where you can forgive the overly religious, then I understand. But closing that door is just setting your dogma up to be a tool of the next oppressor.

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns helped me get out of a hole of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Not to say I'm all the way there, but I'm far better than I used to be, and perfectly functional. His list of 10 cognitive distortions was tremendously enlightening, like I felt a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders when I realized how I could combat my bad thoughts with rationality.
No specific book changed my thinking on "almost everything." Mostly old age did that, and the process of attaining old age. Some of that process included books, and some of those are listed here.

> every action humans take can be traced back to an incentive

It's not enough to know that an action traces back to an incentive. You also need to know which of multiple possible incentives might be the incentive. The obvious incentive is often not the actual incentive, as we're seeing demonstrated in current American and British politics.

So they agreed with them about the 60,000 bounty, were waiting for a NDA agreement with the lawyers, but this didn't happen fast enough for them and so they showed up unannounced to an important conference where the company was announcing a new product to question them about it.

It's unfortunate that the solution for an inadequate toolchain is a brand new workflow instead of improving the existing tools/workflows.

Python packaging is still a mess in 2019, and Python 2.7 is still alive and dominating. Pypi download statistics show that Python2 is still the top cobra with 60% of the download share. Thus, these new workflows unfortunately splinter the python community even further unless they are able to target the entire community.

Does this PEP improve support for doing things like creating rpm or deb packages from virtualenvs? Virtualenvs aren't relocatable, which is one of the sticking points that make them hard to work with a packager's perspective, and it doesn't seem like this proposal improves that situation at all.

I don't see this as "Goodbye Virtualenvs" but rather, "here's a new workflow to add onto the heap pile," where the end result is even more complicated because now we have yet another workflow to know about.

If `__pypackages__` goes in the same directory as the script, and those typically live in bin/, what happens when you have multiple tools in bin/ that have different needs?

Would does a packager want? A dead simple way to create a suite of native OS packages from a requirements.txt-like specification that install into a custom filesystem prefix along with a custom package naming prefix. I can then take this package and install it on any machine and don't need to have internet access in order to install my dependencies.

I don't want to run virtualenv as an end-user consumer of the software -- I want to install from a package repository, just like everything else. I don't want things to litter stuff all over random directories without any way to inspect what happened. Things like "pip install --user" are terrible from my perspective.

Apt solved this issue decades ago. Reinventing that stuff is a recipe for half-baked solutions.

What I don't want is a brand new system and new mechanisms that do not address the fundamental challenges. What are those challenges? C-extensions that need custom compilation options and all that stuff. The fact that setup.py's C-extension mechanism is basically a build system suggests that maybe Python should get out of that game and instead double-down on an existing solution (e.g. cmake) and worry about creating building blocks that are easy to package using native deployment tools (debian packages, rpms, etc) rather than trying to invent a new system that solves the low-hanging fruit and ignores the fundamental issues that got us here in the first place.
I do understand.
Are you implying that someone will try to game the system by perpetually having children for a decade or more?
We hire interims or share responsibilities between other members of the team. It happens all the time and we rarely find an issue with this.

The addictive hobby of customizing mechanical keyboards
I think it's pretty safe to say that a tiny house on a trailer rated for 1000 (or 1715) pounds is not ever moving.

For comparison, the smallest, lightest travel trailers you can buy come in around 1500-2000 pounds dry. And they are not rated for full-time living. Anything more durable will quickly weigh a lot more than a 1715 pound trailer can safely handle.
> It's also a big burden for an organization to pay for non-productive workers

That's absolutely true, but hopefully the government (or social security) pays for it. Same as for medical leave (in Slovenia, only after 30 days though - first month is paid by the employer). That way, the government is supporting entrepreneurship and small businesses, which would otherwise be disproportionally affected by a single person leaving (in a big company, the law of large numbers makes it easy to predict, and therefore manage, absences).
Ask Brian, he did it on purpose.
Binary options are "fake" in that they're often promoted by boiler-room operations in a fraudulent manner-- it's not like they're something that's actively traded on the market. If anything, it's more common to use a "collar" strategy in order to get a similar sort of exposure, but benefit from liquidity of the ordinary options markets.

I put Swift into the category of "almost memory managed" languages and it's never fully clicked in my brain. Thinking about strong/weak/unowned references is more difficult in my opinion than when to malloc/free something.

I mean, maybe, but do you really think they have some sort of well-staffed cyber-division that would 1. understand this and 2. know what to do with it? My guess is they're still operating like it's the 1980s. Hopefully I'm wrong!

Curious that the FBI now does vulnerability coordination. Haven't ever heard that before.
You are right +1 . Meditating on immortality makes you fearless, anecdotally.
You can't decrypt the traffic. You can however monitor it at a point that traffic has already been decrypted. SMS messages are not encrypted and email is only encrypted between you and your email provider whether that email goes on to its final email recipient server encrypted or not is entirely up to the email provider.
That's why I'm opposed to free trade and want fair trade instead. Like, it's not wrong for e.g. EU to impose a tax on products/services produced by companies abroad that have much less strict environmental/employment laws.
I think there is a difference in most people's minds between exploiting an upfront pricing/policy mistake and lying after you agreed to pay for something.

I agree about Freakanomics - it definitely got me thinking about how economics rules the world in one way or another.

The New Jim Crow - this gave me a way to frame structural racism and its impact now, in today's society.

The Stronger Women Get, the More Men Love Football - I read this in high school. And it really gave me an understanding on how sports reflects our society's structure and values in the narrow sense. And got me thinking about how, more broadly, pop culture is a really good lens to use to understand our culture whether it is sports, tv, music or mass media.

You might get some brand awareness if you target specific subs (devops, etc), but I'd imagine the decisionmakers in companies that need what you're providing are not spending their time on subreddits, and the non-decisionmakers probably have adblocking on.

Thats just my perception though - also that reddit as a whole is very lowest common denominator tech/business wise.
After getting ignored even when the FBI got involved? What would be the right way then?
I cannot help but view every single thing involving humans through this lens. Humans physically cannot choose to ignore emotion and think or communicate "rationally". That's why people who think they're "logical" have no immunity from motivated reasoning, and "rationalist" can turn so toxic and so divorced from reality.

That's why some of the most "logical", mathematically intelligent people are so susceptible to religious ideas: https://idlewords.com/talks/superintelligence.htm
Yea, the article title can practically considered clickbait when this is the resultant change in benefits. Neither my wife or I had a need to be home for an entire year with our child.
