Such villages exist, but honestly probably won't work if you have 6 kids. Every adult who can work works in the Bay Area to get by so there is very little slack time in the system to barter with each other.

What little there is can usually be extended to 1 or maybe 2 kids. We routinely have 4 kids at our house (2 ours), but nobody will be able or want to manage more than that, and not very frequently. Even that sort of arrangement only happens via trusting friendships that are built over time. Distributing the load across multiple arrangements would be logistically daunting.

Perhaps a religious or cultural group would extend their resources in this way, but you would have to belong to those groups, and even there, nothing is free.

And one more thing: any place in the Bay area where you can find a house large enough to comfortably house 6 kids in a relatively safe area is going to be unbelievably expensive. I'd you live in such an area your neighbors will either have many fewer children or be wealthy enough that they hire full time childcare, so they won't have the same needs for village style arrangements as you.

I refer to HPV as a case study in humans not having tests available for a communicable disease (no HPV test exists for men) and underestimating it’s communicability (not to mention it’s role in causing several types of cancer). Apologies if you thought I was confusing HPV and HIV.

Too often we think we’re smarter than we are, and the consequences can be damning. Hence why I said its a bold claim that undetectable means it can’t be transmitted. Are we absolutely sure? Because if we’re not, someone could acquire a life long chronic disease that would otherwise have been preventable. But the CDC says undetectable says no transmission; I hope they’re right in 100% of transmission scenarios.
> Now the houses that sold for $150k-$300K in the 70's sell for like $7.5m - $30m

I think you're off by an order of magnitude. 432 Park Ave, which is by any account one of the most expensive buildings in NYC, has a 2 bedroom / 2.5 bath apartment listed for just shy of $12 million [0]. In fact, there's only 13, 2-bedroom apartments more expensive than that for sale in Manhattan [5].

In Manhattan, there's currently 134 listings for 2 bedroom apartments with a listing price of under $750k [1], 1596 listings for under $3 million [2], 1998 listings for under $7.5 million, and a total of 2034 listings for all 2 bedrooms currently listed [4].

Thank you so very much, zaiste, for sharing this marvelous piece of history! I enjoyed every bit of it.

I'm curious, if you had a do-over - what particular questions would you have asked the great Dennis Ritchie?
As a kid who grew up in the 1990s, I consider this the biggest technological advance in my lifetime. HIV was a death sentence back then. Arthur Ashe died of it in 1992, and Magic Johnson announced he had it in 1991. It was in our minds right up there with global warming and the hole in the ozone layer as a existential threat to humanity. And now... a 20-something who begins antiretroviral therapy today can expect to live into his or her late 70s. It's a scientific miracle.
With USB 4, Thunderbolt and USB will converge
Insulin pricing would still be a lot cheaper than the anti-retrovirals are today I think.
This is buzzword salad, not a coherent technical summary.
>If you want to make a simple game like this, just sit down and program it in the obvious way. It will work.

I have heard that the restrictions imposed by the Rust compiler make it surprisingly hard to get it working the normal way. The first time I heard of ECS was in a Rust talk about how it helped them stop fighting the borrow checker.
I for one refrain from what I consider evil for my own sake, not for the sake of whoever might perpetrate it instead of me. And I also think it's a misconception that being complicit with evil is safer than resisting it -- the instant gratification may be higher, but that is still invisibly small vs. the long tail of not giving in. I'd be too afraid to throw away what little innocence I may have, for nothing substantial in return. I'm not being idealistic at all, I simply cling to the solid ground I am on, and it's actually kinda easy to defend that against people who are on sand and their weapons made of smoke. Only I could make myself lose what I "have", just like I can't "give" it to anyone else. For me that's not the brave choice, it's the safer one.
Any reason to believe there aren't other programs doing similar things?
I still don't get what logic is used to arrive at the conclusion that Google deploying search in China should be stopped. Everyone I have seen simply assumes it.
> really? It reads like the subject of the criticism is millenials...

It’s quite explicitly a criticism of the article’s tone, which suggests millennials should feel entitled to certain luxuries. This is markedly different than arguing that millennials hold an entitlement attitude.

> The article is laying out how millenials have it different than previous generations. Yes NYC was always expensive but even now places that are 1 hour commute are out of reach for your average 30 something.

Perhaps that is the case the article means to make, but it supports itself with anecdotes about how a down-on-her-luck millennial was able to buy a $400K San Diego condo on the beach thanks to a $40K gift from her parents. That might sound reasonable to a New Yorker, but to the rest of the country that is incredibly tone deaf.

This isn’t dunking on millennials—I’m a millennial in my lower 30s and I come from a lower middle class background. I’m renting downtown in a major US city, and I’m saving to buy property, so I’m very much the demographic in question. Still, I can’t imagine expecting my parents to help financially (they didn’t help with college either). The economy is perhaps worse, but the salaries in the article are still perfectly manageable if you don’t have to go out to eat every week or take annual international vacations or live in the hottest neighborhoods.
Sometimes when you prototype something, half the reason is to try out these new fancy architectural styles :p

Usually it's for this kind of project:

Since I'm on a comment spree today: I think we mostly agree, actually, but note that the compiler doesn't have to pick 0 for the undefined value at all. It only does that because that's the most convenient value to pick.

(And for the code path where it's deduced to be 0, well it's not really picking, it doesn't have a choice =] )

A compiler with less optimizations could chose to spill the "ret" variable and not pick a value at all, for example. It would just return whatever happens to be lying on the stack if you took the unitialized path.
Depression and Amino Acids: The Natural Fight
This is a strange thing to believe - fines exist for deterrence, not income - the purpose of a fine has failed if it ends up being paid, since it didn't deter the offender!

In the UK, for example, about GBP 80 million in speeding fines are issued each year. The annual police budget is GBP 12.5 billion though, so fines are a tiny 0.64% of that, hardly significant. Having said that, it looks like the road policing budget for 2018-19 is down by a large amount, from the GBP 200 million in 2016, to about GBP 90 million, so the fines would seem to cover most of that... Not sure what to make of that, now?
As Uber Prepares to Go Public, Its Lead Lawyer Races to Clean It Up
Really? The most I've ever had was $10k with a one year clawback clause, and the 45% bonus tax left me feeling like I had trapped myself in a job I didn't like for a measly $5k.
None of this analysis accounts for leveling.

If women are disproportionately hired at lower levels, pay equity will still be _very_ off, even if the data says otherwise on the surface-level.

Ex: Woman w/ 4 years experience hired at T3. Man w/ 4 years experience hired at T4. Both are "in range" of their median comp per level, but the man is being paid more for his expertise.
They will have to bend, no doubt, but if they bend even slightly less than everyone else, that's still a win.
This is such a weird argument when applied to other areas. “Does it really change anything on the ground? Someone else will make the ovens and gas chambers?”

“Does it really change anything on the ground? Someone else will assassinate Archduke Ferdinand?”

Etc. being morally opposed to something and trying to abstain from supporting it is not the same as campaigning against something’s existence. I wouldn’t work for a bomb company, but I’m not trying to shut down Lockheed Martin.

There’s many different moral systems. Some people are trying to not make things worse. Others are doing different things. It’s ok that there are gradations.

> Where can I buy these two year old vehicles that are 48% off? Or a three year old vehicle for 72% off? I'm seriously asking, link me to a 2017 Toyota Highlander Limited for $22K or a 2016 Limited for only $11K...

You misunderstand what 2% depreciation means per month.

2 years at 2% would be:
1 - (0.98^24) ends up at 38.4% off, not your 48%.

3 years at 2% would be:
1 - (0.98^36) == 51.6%, not your 72%.

The reason obviously being that 2% off monthly means that the 12th month's 2% is a lower dollar amount that the first month's 2%. This is also intuitively true since a vehicle depreciates more steeply at the beginning and less over time in total dollar terms.

Also I said 1.5 to 2%. At the 1.5% end of the range, a vehicle at 3 years is:
1 - (0.985^36) == 41.9%.
> It happens because, these days, founders often retain control of shares and board even all the way up to billion-dollar acquisitions

That's the part I was missing. I know of a few companies currently valued at > $500M, and for all of them the founders still own about ~15-20% (together), and the investors across all rounds (usually they are at a Series D stage) have enough equity (50%+) and voting seats to basically not just let the founders do whatever they want, and these companies are very healthy business wise. It's just the standard cost of taking every new round with a 15-20% dilution, it really doesn't take that much to lose the majority.

I assume that in order to raise money at terms much more favorable than these, the company must be doing incredibly well, to the point where the investors are going to think "well, this company is going to get so big that I'll make big bucks anyway". Not all companies that sell in the high 9 figures can command such privileged treatment from investors, in my opinion. And in some cases, the investors-founders relationship is not necessarily adversarial, several seasoned entrepreneurs raise money from investors with whom they've been cultivating deep business relationships over the years, so they definitely have a "common goal" even if technically one could screw the other. Of course this might not happen with a more naive 20-something startup founder, who might get eaten alive by investors.

But I take your data point as very interesting, and something I hadn't considered.
Yup, we've added 24 back.
Top 1% in the US is a household income over $450k. That’s easily exceeded in a couple who both work in tech. We’re not talking about the super wealthy at all.

I'm not sure if it's standard c/c++ but there are the #line directives (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Line-Control.html), bison and flex use them to good effect and I've used them when piping code into gcc. It'll give compiler errors in the right places and make gdb behave when stepping through code, not sure if it runs into limitations or not.

According to the oldest docs I could quickly find (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.4/cpp/Line-Control.ht...) it goes back to at least gcc 2.95 in 1999, but I wouldn't be surprised if it predated javascript and css themselves.

Removes pesky “?fbclid” parameter from Facebook outbound links
People misjudge entirely the cost of working.

Getting that job in that major metropolitan area and actually going to work every day in that job carries such incredible direct and indirect costs, by the end of the year it’s typical for most people to be worse off than when they started.

This is to say nothing of the opportunity cost of all that time.

Then finally, if you are willing to factor in the societal/cultural pressures that come with the job and the massive costs associated with fulfilling them, as supposed to just calling that weakness on the persons behalf for succumbing to those myriad pressures... well, as you alluded, the tail is most certainly wagging the dog.

"they'll also have complete control over them"

This is a dumb take. Googlers are the one reporting/protesting all of these things. This is a very different situation than Facebook where most of the leaking has been external. It's also different than HN's reaction to Apple, which apparently can whatever it wants to its Chinese users.

The world is not black and white, it is gray. And some companies are more active than others in trying to find a balance between morality and realism.

Googling... the author is ex-amazon, ex-microsoft - with xbone and 360 title experience. Perhaps the author was exposed to that pattern at one of those institutions, or perhaps the author saw the 2018 Rust Conf Closing Keynote[0] and was inspired to continue down that path.

I think people tend to either go with what they've seen work in the past, or heard works well. Maybe it's cargo culting, or maybe in the case of rust (which I have no current experience with), it helps? Either way, the most important point is to focus on the fun and not let technologies get in the way of making a good game.

Personally, I wish what would really get attention in the realm of HIV treatments is invention and subsequent spread of "prevention" drugs like PrEP (significantly lowering chances of getting HIV if taken daily) and PEP ("fight off" HIV if possibly exposed to it in the last 72 hours), in addition to amazingly high level of quality that HIV therapies have reached such that if HIV can't be detected - its effectively untransmittable.

Not trying to draw attention away from the potential significance of the article, would just like more of the "widespread", effective treatments get a little light.
Most 'regular' people would itemize if their mortgage interest + SALT + whatever random things were bigger than the standard deduction. Under the new rules, SALT + mortgage interest is unlikely to be close to the standard deduction. I expect the amount of mortgage interest deduction in tax year 2018 to be much smaller than tax year 2017.

How about:

- investing time in things that ultimately do not pay off

- taking risks

- lots of small poor choices that add up

Honestly I find his list pretty poorly thought through, especially in comparison to the recent blog post by Sam Altman: http://blog.samaltman.com/how-to-be-successful
1) Except that in the western world we do not tell people their whole childhood that they are to do X because of their gender. We actively tell people they can be whatever they want, and as far back I can remember in primary school (early 80s) that's been the case.

2) Valuation doesn't always equate to monetary remuneration. For example (at least in Australia), police, teachers etc get FAR more leave and holidays compared to the rest of the country. That needs to be taken into account as part of the valuation. Stress also factors into why certain professions are "worth" more than others. IT is highly stressful, in comparison to other social professions.

> In itself, an inability to pay bail after being arrested makes it more likely that you will be convicted of that offense,

That could be, at least in part, due to inability to post bail being correlated with actually, like, being guilty.

That and being unsophisticated and without a lawyer.

> The implications of the two studies are powerful and troubling. Being behind bars while awaiting trial had profound negative repercussions, and they were borne disproportionately by low-income people and by black people.

ok Take 2:

1. We use causal consistency using vector clocks to establish the causal order of operations instead of using Time stamping and Network Time Protocol which are unreliable over WAN distances

2. We share Database state changes/updates between each Point of Presence (POP) to the others in the cluster using Asynchronous Streams that use a pull model instead of a push to maintain ordering of messages over the network. This has the added benefit of allowing us to know exactly how current each PoP is with changes.

3. We dont use Quorum for inter PoP to establish consistency - there's a white paper on our site that shows you the how and why of coordination free replication. Gist is we have developed a generalized operational CRDT model that allows us to get Associtive, Commutative, Idempotent convergence of changes between PoPs in the cluster without needing quorum

4. the DB is a multi master - you can access and change data at any PoP. Its also multi model and lets you query your data across multiple interfaces such as key/value, documentDB (JSON), Graph etc

5. the DB automatically creates GraphQL and REST APIs for your schema taking away the complexity and effort of a lot of boilerplate development on the backend

6. The DB is available as a managed service in 25 PoPs today - you can request an account and we will give you one. WE will be generally available with a free tier in April and you can signup online and self administer your cluster

7. You can access the DB via a CLI, GUI, or write code that accesses it via REST, GrapHQL or using native language drivers in JavaScript, Python today (we are working on other languages with a view on releasing them over the next few months)

hope this helps...

The solution to this is the solution to many problems in tech: unionization.

If you aren't just hiring every person who walks through the door, you are discriminating. The question is whether you are hiring on relevant characteristics or irrelevant bullshit, and whether your job is more appealing to people on the basis of protected characteristics in ways that end up with an overwhelmingly-male workforce of people willing to be treated unfairly. Being thoughtful and taking responsibility for which people you are choosing to include is at least honest, unlike accepting a sexist status quo as magically "neutral".
