It's interesting too that all 4 of those are present to some extent in our schools where much bullying takes place.
Agreed. AirBnN is a last resort. I always choose hotel first.

It might have something to do with the shitty Dutch AirBnB'er we had who tried to throw my wife and I out at midnight because he was paranoid schizo ... and AiBnN then not honouring the refund.

Frankly. F@ck AirBnB. And all who sail in her.
"For parents working in science, tech, engineering, and medicine, Cech says part of what drives them out of full time work or toward other fields is the cultural expectation that they treat their careers as the only thing that matters in their lives. Leaving work promptly at 6 pm to pick up your child from daycare doesn’t align with those cultural expectations."

The article is interesting in its own right, but I found it interesting that the "M" in the article stands for medicine, and not mathematics.

Anecdotally, (the few) professional mathematicians I've interacted with outside of quantitative finance seem to have great work-life balance.
All analogies are inexact by nature, which is why it's splitting hairs to nitpick them to death.

These are fringe use cases that still don't justify an ISP charging more for Netflix streaming over NBC.
We have a distributed team in India & Silicon Valley. The market in India has changed dramatically from what’s being portrayed here. A strong VP, engg candidate is about $200k, a new grad is at least $30k and it rises rapidly as you get more senior. There are stock options on top of this.

Why is this happening? (a) Lot of companies are opening up offices in India and willing to pay higher to set up the team quickly; (b) The VC finding scenario is as crazy as it exists in Silicon Valley. SoftBank is a global firm :)

It’s not as straightforward to build a 10x engineering team in India. Sure, it’s probably cheaper than Bay Area but you need to consider the overall cost of communication, speed of process, especially for a startup.

Yeah. I mean, what do you expect to happen when you put a bunch of animals in a social and physical environment they are not well-adapted to? It's humans who are the bullies.
My point is the lack of confidence is probably unjustified. But perhaps I'm wrong. It's not difficult to imagine that connections people think they have are so shallow that they actually would lose the important ones if they left Facebook.
Did you end up publishing the manuscript elsewhere?
>Under your proposed moral framework many whites would be justified in discriminating in favor of other whites.

I haven't proposed any moral framework, I only wanted to elucidate the positions on affirmative action and that it's not nearly as simple as the law itself being twisted to bad ends, but that it comes from a set of difficulties introduced as a result of the law being introduced. When I said "some philosophers", I meant it. If you'd like to read the paper I'm referring to in particular, it's Boxill (1972)[0].

>“We know that all blacks, lower class, middle class, and upper class, have been wronged by racial injustice” (Boxill 1984, 164). In Boxill 1978, 251, he argues that the correlation between “preferences received” and “compensation deserved,” though not perfect, is very high. A recent piece by D. W. Haslett (2002) also conceives of affirmative action as a way to neutralize “tainted” advantages enjoyed by whites, although he concedes that the neutralization is “extremely rough” (83). James Sterba carries on the tradition, striving to refute the claim that affirmative action distributes its benefits and burdens in an up-side down way, rewarding well–off blacks and placing the costs on unoffending whites. Well–off blacks are no less victims of discrimination, he insists, and nearly every white has unjustly benefited from racial discrimination (Sterba 2009, 89–90. Fiscus 1992 echoes Justice Brennan’s argument and generalizes it.

I was in a similar situation then went back to college and finished up later after I already had the job in software development I was hoping to get from college in the first place. I probably have a very non-typical experience, though I did try college straight out of high school and dropped. Now of course I'm going for a master's for a career switch, and am much more motivated...but that's unrelated.

I think there's a lot of value in learning to work. And you can have ambition and grow yourself with or without college. For my kids, I'd be perfectly happy if they want to go to a trade school or to do something entirely different (like being a stay at home mom, or serving overseas for the peace corp, or whatever). What matters more to me is that they approach life from a perspective of learning and growing, that they have ambitions, and that they are kind and loving people.

Many people learn to do that from college, and that's great for them. For me, I really wanted to learn, but in the end was for a piece of paper. Like many hyped things in life, it seems overrated. Still good...but if you're the type that is already constantly learning, growing, reading, and self motivated, college doesn't offer a lot that you can't get outside of it.
well you may not mind if a pharmacist changes your Rx from name brand to generic to save the patient a little money.

But this is more of the pharmacist interfering with your relationship with the patient...

So imagine you write a therapy, and the patient gets a call from the pharmacists to the extent:

1. Your Doc Wrote the expensive drug, but if you agree we can save you $x by contacting your doc and encouraging them to change it;

2. Your Doc only wrote a 30 day fill, do you want us to ask for 90 days? (Consider these are your sickest patients, only your patients with chronic diseases, so you probably give them 30 days on purpose to get them back into the office to check their blood).

It may sound reasonable on its face but: 1. Your patient loses faith you are acting in their best interest; 2. It’s framed in a way that the pharmacist knows more than you; 3. It’s not disclosed to the patient or to you as the doc, that the pharmacy getting paid bonuses by the insurance company to do it; and 4. If you disagree with the request for change (it doesn’t matter why, it will harm your rating with the insurer and you will potentially be dropped from the insurance network and lose your patients with that plan/insurer).
Not just the failure of a vendor, but the "success" too. They build the product out with a low-cost self-serve model and an army of loyal and enthusiastic customers, but then they get greedy / raise money / realize that they could be going after much bigger fish and they jack prices to the moon to shed all their current customers who are "holding them back". See Segment, Drip, and an endless list of others.
Oh, true, I haven’t travelled in season in a while. I often wind up traveling in the off season (summer in hot places, winter in cool places that aren’t ski towns). I think there are some places that tend to be affordable almost year round, but your comment reminded me what it’s like to try to find a place in Miami in the late winter. It’s not an AirBnb specific problem, though.
Honestly, that’s really the only reason I made that reply.

Quite so. Workplaces, as well.
It probably depends a lot on your high school and teachers. I had a unique high school experience in that I went to public school for two years and private school for two. The private school did a much better job of teaching those nuances, and challenged me 10x more than public school ever did. That probably says as much about the public school as the private school though, which just helps to support my point that we could be doing better.
> > (a) break the power of teachers’ unions (and organized labor more generally), so that they can reduce teacher pay, benefits, social respect, and job security

> Wouldn't an education market that worked do precisely that for schools that are failing catastrophically?

(1) Education is not a good with the kinds of features which allow approximating rational choice, and so there's little reason to expect that a market would work.

(2) Even leaving aside (1), no, there's no reason to expect that; among the errors that appear to be implicated in that conclusion is confusing schools with teachers.

> As far as I know, no one outside of libertarian absolutists actually has a goal like this.

Plenty of Republicans at all levels have openly advocated for this and even advanced bills for it. Whether they are all libertarian absolutists I'll leave to.you, but it's a real viewpoint with substantial support in the political sphere.

> If "publicly accountable" means less micromanaged by a centralized bureaucracy, I don't see how this is necessarily bad.

If they really believed that excessive central regulation was the problem, then rather then promoting charter schools exempt from the bureaucratic rules along with greater central accountability and regulation for traditional public schools, advocates would instead simply reduce central control and increase local (district and even site-level) control of traditional public schools. They don't, because what they really want is a subsidy for private, for-profit entities while engineering maximized paralysis in traditional public schools to drive an exodus to the subsidized private providers.
“The World Cancer Research Fund report Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer provided advice on red and processed meat in 2007.

The organisation said the evidence that red and processed meats are causes of bowel cancer is convincing. It advises that people eat no more than 500g of red meat a week (around 70g a day) and avoid processed meats.”

The explorative character of the MMA/Wolfram language is probably mostly due to the "REPL on stereoids". IPython provides a similar attempt but is "traditional" OOP (with explorable documentation and members/methods). Therefore, I am not that sure about the unique selling point of Mathematica. From my POV it is the pure size of the library and thus power of expression evaluation, like finding the algebraic solution to a complicated integral.

I did a much cruder benchmark when I was trying to eek performance out of an OLPC-XO.

I did find ~ on a home dir that took 1.5 seconds to do find ~ >dev/null

I ended up running on a version of mrxvt using bitmapped fonts which took 8 seconds. Scalable fonts took 35 seconds.

A VTE based terminal emulator took 394 seconds to display the same output.
It most definitely is not illegal. Many colleges have race and gender based quota systems. Governments have race and gender quota systems. Many federal, state and local governments set aside X percentage of their contracts solely for minority or female owned businesses.

Whether this is right or wrong is another debate. But race, gender or "diversity" hiring or recruiting certainly isn't illegal. It happens all the time.
but in this case government makes sure that there are no losers at least in banking system.

I wish mine were more so. It probably does depend a lot on the school.
My 1200sqft 2 bedroom townhouse in the suburbs of Kansas City costs me $800 a month. My families 6 bedroom 5 bathroom 3 story behemoth with a pool cost $4000 a month. The thought of paying $6000 a month for what they offer you in the Bay is depressing.
Yes, but not all words defined in the dictionary are used in a definition.

So if "multitudinous" isn't used in a definition of another word, you remove it from the set. Maybe you then find out that "myriad" was only used in the definition of multitudinous, so you can take myriad out, and so on.
Yeah, as a new transplants to the bay area it is mind-boggling. $1500/mo per person in a roommate situation is common. That said, my take-home pay more than made up for the rent increase. The cost for a family type living situation is truly mind-boggling.

Whenever I see comments along the lines of "In my mind you could replace this 20,000 person company with a computer running a script for $10 months", I'm convinced that folks don't know what really goes in to running a large e-commerce site.

To be sure, I'm not arguing there isn't a lot of waste at these large companies, but running a large eCommerce business at scale is a hugely complicated endeavor. For one, the economics of large OTAs mean that very small increases in conversion rates can result in huge increases in revenue, so they all have very large teams optimizing their sites, running a ton of A/B tests, optimizing their search advertising bidding, etc.

Yes, it definitely would be possible to build a fairly straightforward hotel booking site with a very small number of people. To do it in a way that makes any money is a much more difficult problem.

What stigma? Isn’t the novelty of college wearing off by now? We have thousands of courses from various elite universities accessible online for free now, not to mention places like khan academy. If college is for broad knowledge then I’d argue it’s no longer necessary. For a narrow field of experience a trade school or a condensed program should be all that you need. With automation ever increasing, kids will need to change their careers multiple times anyway. Why would you spend so much time in college on any one specialized field if there is a high chance you won’t stay in that career path forever?

I have a toddler and I plan on letting him decide if he wants to go to college or not when time comes. I won’t encourage or discourage it. Personally, college did very little for me as may be evident by my grammar, but I’m happpier for it.
My favorite quote from Ioannidis:

“Science is a noble endeavor, but it’s also a low-yield endeavor,” he says. “I’m not sure that more than a very small percentage of medical research is ever likely to lead to major improvements in clinical outcomes and quality of life. We should be very comfortable with that fact.”

I wonder to what extent this is a manifestation of a lack of growth opportunities in the environment.

In my experience, when a company is growing quickly, customers are abundant, there are more new projects than people to do them, and everybody's stock options go up each year, people tend to be cooperative, energetic, and generally delightful to work with. Once growth slows, promotions & raises stop coming, exciting new projects are scarce resources, and customers don't really care what you do, the office politics gets insufferable. It's like as soon as people run out of worthwhile things to do, they invent oppressive status games to pass the time.

My recollection of middle & high school was similar. When kids are engaged, learning things, able to pursue their interests, and have adequate adult attention, they're cooperative and well-behaved. When they're all corraled into the same track and have to compete for grades & attention, they get nasty.
Or even just Org Mode.
Well, I live in the UK, not the US. It's very different for us.
The Three Body Problem is officially the most overrated book on Hacker News. I am trying to understand why. It has no soul, the "science" is garbage, not a single character is memorable, it's way, way too long for what it is.
yeah. I live in Minneapolis, am charging 67/hour (roughly 140k/year pre tax) and my rent is 1200/month.

my total monthly expenses are roughly 3500/month so I am able to save almost 50% of my post tax income.
I guess there are at least two categories:

1. Those that are in another city, knew they were going to be there, and didn’t book ahead (or just need an extra room?)

2. Those that live in a city and decide to get a hotel room tonight.

I’m actually having a hard time figuring out who’s booking last minute (and why a site specializes in it) other than for parties (large groups or.... by the hour).
There's plenty of people who believe that Glass-Steagall needs to be repealed? It was repealed in 1999 (the relevant parts, anyway). That's part of how we got to 2008.

Anyone who believes that Glass-Steagall needs to be repealed is literally two decades behind on the news.

That's why I think that it was sarcasm. "We need to remove the post-crisis oversight" is being compared to repeal of Glass-Steagall. That helped create the next (2008) crisis; the implication being that ending the post-crisis supervision will help create the next crisis.
Though I found the demonstration intolerable and would hope, as a user of your application, that you wouldn't settle on "meh, the user won't notice/care."

Actually I would just debounce it and add a spinner. No need to shoehorn additional operations in between, which are going be outdated in a split second anyway.

"infinite avalanche" is a commonplace, boring phrase? Wonder where he's from.
If I had kids, I'd absolutely tell them to at least consider things like electrical work - from low-voltage network cabling for businesses to plain old electrical to specialized high-voltage stuff. Some of it may not be glamorous, but at the high end where you're doing diagnostics and fixes for problems, etc. I guarantee folks are making some money and while you might never get rich, you'll also probably always have work available.
Something like this is definitely possible. For example a <div hidden> could apply all updates using a lower priority. This can be used to detect offscreen content or non-active tabs.
This blows up compilation times, so not really an option for larger projects.
I think it depends on if there is a distinction between digits/letters and words, otherwise "26" would be a good starting answer too (since each letter is it's own word).
I understand what you mean, but I am not sure I agree. As a macro writer i either want to depend on the local definition explicitly (using datum->syntax in syntax case or not renaming in an er-macro-transformer). I also don't want to accidentally alter behaviour of macros if I happen to shadow a binding. I have made a version of racket's for loops that depends on expansion to other macros (to be able to split the complexity in smaller chunks). Having that expand unhygienically would open the macro up to subtle errors.

I also don't have to re-export bindings that I happen to use (like a specialised let from srfi-71 that supports multiple return values) and not changing let for whoever imports my library or polluting their namespace.

Expanding the macro in guile makes it clear in the generated code where things come from a (let ...) in the generated code gets expanded to ((@@ (loops for-loops) let) ...), Which is easily debuggable.

I just don't happen to see what you are describing about hygiene as a problem. It is the behaviour I want as a macro writer and the vast majority of time as a macro user.

The only big problems with it are 1. The Implementation sucks. The concepts are quite easy to grook, but hard to implement. 2. The hygiene has some edge cases where it might not protect you if you are writing very complex macros gluing quoted syntax objects together.
The assumption is to rely on GC and if a resource is not reachable in JS (or in existing bindings), then it can't be submitted again, so it can safely be cleaned up. There is also an explicit GPUTexture.destroy() method if you want to free up the GPU memory immediately.
As an under represented minority in tech, I couldn't agree more with the parent post. I never want to bring up my race because I want to be judged on the output of my skills and not be propped up because someone thinks I add diversity points to the team.

Sadly I've had to bring up my genetic background recently as a pure survival mechanism because people keep telling me to my face that they don't want to hire white men so I need to let them know I'm not white so I don't get instantly filtered out.

The whole situation is ridiculous as I never had any problems with my race before "diversity" became talking point #1 (as a developer, raising money is another story).
Unfortunately most people's primary computing devices are smart phones and smart phone radios cannot keep a TCP connection open, or won't, because of power usage.
Look at the "Size optimizations implemented so far" section. It's mostly about packing enum discriminators into unused bits and bytes.

Beyond that rust has always done field reordering to minimize wastage from alignment gaps.

Other optimizations are still being planned.
I guess that the approach may matter a lot...I worked and paid cash for college (and still am with my graduate degree), so my time has never really been flexible while I'm taking classes.

If I had time now to learn and do whatever I wanted, it'd probably be a huge time of growth with or without college. I guess that combination of taking courses of what you're interested in, and then also being able to study as a hobby, could be really useful.
