Not really. They just need to hire someone competent to take work alongside the family member and take up the slack. Happens in all industries with a measurable work product.

At one point my dad was doing finance for a 20ish person company, where five of the employees were family members. He said that they basically did nothing all day, but all collected paychecks. As the finance guy, he could see how their results were compared to everyone else.
That is really not the case here. Look at Jim Simmons for example. And also Taleb is a brat who thinks he is the greatest investor ever to live just because he knows what martingale is.
https://languagelearningwithnetflix.com is a similar tool. Allows side-by-side subtitles in two languages. It also lets you skip back one whole sentence at a time to re-hear a line.

I used it to start trying to hear and parse Japanese (only about a month in of learning, so brand new, and just hearing the words and sounds of the language is still tricky).
I've come to believe that most disagreements online come down to definition, and could go to more interesting places if both parties got crisp with definitions early instead of arguing X and X' 10 replies deep only to then realize that X and X' are subtly different.
Of course. I’m suggesting what I think is a better solution than yours.
When you're Ray Dalio, the standard for "doing something" is much higher than writing a pithy blog post. We have seen many examples of rich people penning mea culpas after profiting off of the same economic system they now claim as being rigged against the commoners. Buffet does it at least once every couple of years.

Because he's rich and influential, Dalio will get a few column inches, but after that, the levers of power, pulled by the rich and influential, go about their daily business.
Yeah, H2 is amazingly good. I've used it for things that most Java developers insist it can't be used for. :)

Just understand that any use that even vaguely resembles production will usually get pushback from people who think it is only a dev-level in-memory-only toy that causes constant slowdowns. This will be true even if it is only used for a few hundred rows worth of data.

Reading the reactions around the articles and media referenced in them just strike me as a combination of science and medicine along with ideological activism.

> It can take years for IRS investigators just to understand a transaction and deem it to be a violation.

Given that they're talking about the IRS equivalent of "Seal Team 6", and it's taking them years to look at a single transaction, my question still stands.

Just because the IRS thinks there is a violation after several years of looking at a transaction does not mean that there was in fact a violation. The fact that it's taking them so long to figure things out might be the clue that it is possible for there to be a difference of opinion on the matter.

The IRS is not judge, jury, and executioner, although for most of us they may as well be. This article sounds more like sour grapes that the IRS can't get away with what they normally do when attacking truly wealthy people.
This sentiment always reveals a misunderstanding of economics.

The US Government can obliterate your income/wealth without ever touching your bank account; moreover, it can generate revenue without touching your account as well. Why tax individuals then? Because it is considered more economically stable than some of the alternatives, like printing money; this means taxation is safer for the value of your dollars than other forms of revenue generation, all else being equal.
It is probably way more the latter concern (the voting) than the former (the writing), but note upthread that Klabnik was aware this was going to happen when he wrote it, which is why he asked Cloud Flare marketing about it first.

As to why I'm commenting on it: because it was submitted for our comment, and this is my comment.
I think our current deficit spending is dumb, but I don't actually see a problem mathematically with this. Assuming we only pay 2% interest on that debt, that's 0.076% of GDP to service the debt from this year. If the new GDP growth is taxed at just 10%, then we have 0.29% of GDP in new taxes. So that's a 4x ROI correct? (of course, the assumption here is that there is no better way to spend that money and that the deficit spending is fully responsible for the GDP growth to begin with...) So theoretically it's not going to break the bank even though many people like me think it's unnecessary
yep, I agree with that. Which is why Im not crazy about people (like this author) who is discouraging millennials from even getting started. If you're in college, or just out of college, you have decades to figure out how to be able to retire. There's no need to just accept whatever happens, or to just assume people will figure out how to fund Social Security between now and then.
I don't really understand your counter argument.

Years ago, I was on a university private tracker. It was used more to share hard-to-find resources than for any actual piracy, much less piracy of anything new or policed. (I'm sure people stole plenty of 50-year-old textbook PDFs.) But when the hoster shut it down abruptly, everything simply vanished, including all kinds of hand-scanned and annotated stuff which may be literally irreplaceable.

Meanwhile, something like Kickass Torrents can be shut down and abandoned by the owners, but the content all reappears almost immediately. The private-tracker model has lots of advantages for community building, but as far as robustness it undermines the entire concept of P2P sharing.

I've been thinking about this subject for a while and been on the verge of writing about it.

The thing is, I've come to the opposite conclusion.

My conclusion is that programmers have been trained to think about correctness. What they should be trained on and design is to account for inevitable failures. My main paradigm is the floating point design. It incorporates a built-in invalid value, which neatly propagates itself. Objective-C also has this concept of propagating a chain of failures accross function calls.

Your programs will be buggy, your data will be wrong. Design to support propagating it with null actions and detect it at the top of your action loop.

(One of the unfortunate heritage of computin ghistory is the missed opportunity of the binary system imbalance around zero. Both 1-complement and 2-complement have abnormal values. In 1-comp, it's negative zero. In 2-comp, it's the fact that the most negative number has no positive value and is its own negation (- INT_MIn == INT_MIN). It was an opportunity to reserve such value for invalid integers. Then you design your null pointer to be that value too, and NAN to be that bit pattern. Than all your fundamental invalid values map to the same bit pattern that can easily be propagated. Oh well.)
So, you think that it is rational to believe that virgins can give birth and that people can come back to life after being dead for more than a day and without modern medical intervention, to pick some of the most universally accepted doctrine of Christianity?
A nitpick, perhaps-- but isn't that the same faith? You don't know a hypothesis will be correct but you believe it will, so you test it. That IS faith as defined by (at least Christian) scripture [1,2]

> 1. OOP is a higher-level paradigm than FP, so people comparing them directly usually are missing the point to begin with. OOP systems can be implemented in functional languages or use functional-flavored components.

It's not higher-level, it just allows different types of abstraction. OOP is about procedural abstraction, ie. a set of procedures permits you to add new types, FP is about data abstraction, ie. a given set of data types permits you to add new procedures.

Most OOP languages are not pure OOP, so they permit some data abstraction as well, and FP languages with good module systems also permit procedural abstraction.

I have no idea why this comment is getting downvoted. It's spot-on!

I would add one thing, though... in the days before social media, but also before near-instant transportation and tv and stuff, people lived in geographically isolated communities. While there wasn't cultural self-selection, your culture was selected for you, and almost everyone you knew was like you.

This is reflected in politics as well. Urban areas are necessarily more socially diverse than rural areas. If you live in a big city, you rub elbows with people different from you every day. You learn to be tolerant and respectful of social diversity just for your own sanity. Homogeneous rural communities don't learn tolerance, because they don't need it, and it's arguably a hindrance. So we wind up with socially tolerant, diverse liberals, and socially intolerant, monoculture conservatives (not passing a judgment here). It's a result, not a cause.

Social media exacerbates both these tendencies... on one hand, it's so easy to build purist echo chambers, which lead to holier than thou political one-upmanship and drive extremist views. On the other hand, we're constantly exposed to people wildly different to us through friends-of-friends. That's a lot of cognitive dissonance. Rather than leading to more tolerance, it's leading to uglier forms of intolerance.
One of the best features of PotPlayer [0] (available only on Windows, sadly) is that it supports jumping to previous/next subtitle points. Combined with its auto subtitle search feature, it's extremely useful for a nonnative speaker like me to jump back and read an unintelligible section of a movie, or skip a boring section by watching only the parts with dialogue.
I wish there were a similar alternative for Linux. The best media player I've found is VLC, which is a joke compared to PotPlayer in terms of customizability and UX.

>still widely considered liberal democracies

The Yellow Vests in France may disagree - for several weeks they were protesting in large numbers, every weekend, and yet their wants and needs haven't really registered in popular awareness. Why is that?

My point hinges on ability to raise awareness of issues, to break into public consciousness with grievances. That's different from espousing a particular political ideology. That doesn't even technically require a liberal democracy, but specifically requires having proper channels for being heard out, and conduct society-wide negotiations. The political facet of freedom of speech.

We here in Europe aren't in need of propagating authoritarian ideologies; that would not help in the least. However there's a growing need to be able to discuss and form consensus on issues of immigration, taxation, and growing worries over the retirement pension systems in the face of shrinking populations. The subjects effectively became tabu in recent years, up to the point of having developed a wide array of euphemisms. There's growing frustration over them.

Right now the subject of immigration is mostly discussed by far right and far left parties and movements. This causes people interested in the subject to drift towards extremes. It should instead be up for discussion - and negotiations - on the political mainstream. The subject by and of itself is orthogonal to political ideology. Suffices to point out that the major political factions, both in USA and in Europe, have repeatedly shifted back and forth on the subject over the recent decades.
I dunno about the Vegan BK Whopper. But when apples cost > $1 each, head of cauliflower is $4.99, and yet you can buy chicken, cuts of beef, for the same price or less, something is up. That animal, raised, fed, given medical care, housed for some years. Seems like a lot of built in cost compared to seasonal produce. Either the government is subsidizing it up the wazoo and/or the meat industry in the US is King Kong size. Since it was mentioned, the same goes for the meat in the dollar menu. Ewww.

The article isn't advocating that you buy a coffee every single day. It's saying a. focus on larger issues and b. it's okay to do a little self care and a little self indulgence.

I sometimes bought myself a fucking coffee of some sort at Starbuck's back when I was homeless. I needed the caffeine to help treat health issues. It let me plug in for an hour and get some electricity for my tablet, plus spend an hour on the internet because I was wi-fi dependent. It helped me feel like a human being and not just go fucking kill myself.

I was working on my larger problems, like getting healthier, paying down debt and developing a better earned income. I eventually got off the street.

I still don't have a lot of money. I still have to make judicious purchasing decisions. I still sometimes find that the best answer is splurging on taking care of myself.

Sometimes, taking care of yourself in some way is the best investment you can make. Sometimes, that means buying an overpriced coffee.

>...homosexual family units are a new and unique phenomenon in human history...

Families that drive cars are new to human history. Families where both parents have had orthodontic work are new to human history. It takes a special seed of bigotry to question whether LGBT people are inherently unfit to be parents.

>... questioning assumptions and doing research on this issue is NOT bigoted.

Making assumptions about people based on sexual orientation and falsifying research to further your mean-spirited assumptions is indeed bigotry.

>"Considering gay people to by like other people is not being 'pro-gay.' It's just being a decent human being." Way to completely ignore the legitimate point I'm trying to raise.

You're ignoring my point. Gays being treated like people is not an extreme left-wing ideology forwarded by activists. It's just a simple application of basic ethics and anyone who fails to do this does not belong on an ethics committee.

>I'm talking about the general point that being tolerant even of people who hate you...

A tolerant society cannot tolerate intolerance.

AFAIR, public services in Skylines do indeed have range. It is indicated by green shading on the city roads. For example:

This image shows the range that the medical facilities have in the city. The purple buildings are hospitals/clinics, and the green shading on the roads indicates the reach that those buildings have. Not sure where you got the above fact, unless I am misunderstanding something.

Apparently, everyone is a victim these days simply by making life decisions they end up regretting. Nobody is responsible for anything concerning themselves anymore.

The idea that these people are entrapped is a bunch of nonsense. We're not talking about people that have zero alternatives besides scraping at the bottom of a barrel. We're talking about people that are already well-paid and would be even higher paid if only they decided to switch industries. They can switch jobs and they do switch jobs.

That's simply the truth. It's not victim blaming. The allegation of victim blaming itself is dishonest. These people aren't victims. These people have jobs they don't like. Welcome to adulthood, comrades!

That's not how money works though if you pay income taxes. An extra dollar saved is worth more than an extra dollar earned because you pay new taxes on new income. At the high end in the US, saving $5000 offsets earning $7500. "Every dollar that you don't have to spend is a dollar.fifty that you don't have to worry about earning."
