Regarding the UNIX philosophy thing, it's worth noting that it is not automatically The Right Thing to stick by it at any cost. You could argue that UNIX itself does not use the philosophy when it's inconvenient, for example many UNIX-(like) kernels were/are monolithic, despite micro kernels with message passing akin to GNU Hurd embody the UNIX philosophy much better than the original UNIX kernel did(!)

Also, how do you define doing "one thing" exactly? I can see it for `ls` or `cat`, but for anything more complicated than that...not so sure. Is Vi following the UNIX philosophy? If you say; yes, it's 'just an editor', despite 'an editor' being composed of several components, then I can say that systemd is just 'a service manager'. It's a semantics game that does not make sense in today's world.

The Unix philosophy has its uses for sure, but it's far from an universal truth in today's world.

Exactly my thoughts reading this. I would guess this author does not cook. Or has not done so in a closed isolating kitchen while family or friends chat happily just around a wall out of earshot.
Great idea. I had also thought of adding a feature to unfollow/unlike pages, but haven't had much time yet to work on it.

Not many first time home buyers do a standard mortgage now. Typically 3-5% is all that is needed.

That and the lowest home mortgages rates anyone alive has seen have contributed to the home price increase. It's not the total value of the house but the amount of the monthly payment that is the driver, and 3% (today) vs 13% (early 80s) mortgage rates provide a huge swing.
After just spending two months working with an architect to design the remodel our 6,000 sf house, here are my observations. We like to entertain. We usually have people over for some kind of party at least every month. During parties, people gather in the kitchen (for some reason). So we try to encourage people to get out of the kitchen.
Pathways are important. Every common area should have at least two pathways, and dead-end rooms should be avoided. The easiest way to accomplish all of these is the open concept floor plan with the kitchen at the center.

Now, with folding exterior doors, the open concept is moving outdoors to create indoor/outdoor spaces. So, actually, the trend is going towards even more open concept floor plans.

Facebook's algorithm should mostly do this by default. If you don't interact with people's posts, you'll see less of them.

You can explicitly mute people as well or even just certain websites. My aunt has been posting a ton of weird alt-right news lately and I've had pretty good success by just blocking her news sources so I can still see posts from her that I care about (family stuff.)

I also have a few friends who I've muted entirely because I still want to be able to contact them, but I really don't care about any of the stuff they're posting to facebook.

This might be a little more manual than you want, but it's pretty simple to just casually block posts you don't like as you scroll through your feed.
There's more to what GP said. It took me a while to figure it out:

> life is pointless and meaningless without children, or as a fallback without taking care of others

This implies that the type of people who genuinely don't want to have kids, and don't have some circumstance in life holding them back from having kids, don't care about others. It's not the first time I've heard it, but I disagree with it. It's the yuppie stereotype. It's wrong because there are parents who don't care very much about others, and people who choose to not have children that care a great deal about others.

It is, however, not quite as wrong as saying that people who don't have kids don't GAF, full stop.
Sounds like forced labor to me.
As a millennial who's been saving about 80% of my take home income, I mostly believe the money problems our generation complains about (regardless of economic background, debt, etc.) is more linked to spending habits and a perception of what an "ideal" or "reasonable" lifestyle is.

For instance, I have a few friends who work at JPL outside of LA. They all make $110-120k TC and have ridiculous benefits (5% contrib to 401k even if you put nothing in and if you do contribute a 7% match) with 25 days vacation etc. They still complain that they "can't afford to buy a house" when they've put off saving after paying $20k for a "modest" wedding and spend $1600 on take out each month because they're "too busy".

I live within my means and still have a social life, but I'm still called cheap or questioned about "not really living" when I explain why I'm investing or saving money and not taking international vacations every 6mo.

I once lived in a Tri-level with a very large and open kitchen. I also lived in a house with very big main rooms but a tiny kitchen.

The trouble is everyone congergrates in the kitchen! That's fine if it's nice and wide and has plenty of counter space, but awful if it's really tiny and the only means between the living room and the patio where your other friend is grilling.

I agree with other comments on how a dining room is kinda useless. If you have a big pot-luck, it feels more relaxed if people are just sitting in various rooms or outside with a paper plate on their lap .. and if it's just you and one other person, a couch works just fine.
Honest question: How do shareholders know FB doesn't lie about their metrics? Maybe if it leaked it would be fraud, but what stops them from saying some psuedo-b.s? Like "our ad score went from 0.4 schmeckle to 8.6 schmeckle increasing ad yield by over 78% this quarter, here is a 500 page document about it" and if I were an investor I wouldn't have time at all to figure out what a schmeckle means, and I certainly wouldn't care what a schmeckle means or even if it's all an elaborate ruse if my position is improving.
> Between the technological advances in solar/wind/batter, renewed interest in nuclear, and shrinking CO2 it seems climate change is well on its way to being solved

Do you realize that the most optimistic projections in climate change papers already assume massive improvements in these technologies? They also assume massive carbon extraction technologies working at global scale that don't exist yet. Even these optimistic scenarios have dire consequences, and we're not on track to hitting these at all.

If it were a matter of "small improvements in over time", the tech would be sufficient, but it's more like we need to reduce double digit % of CO2 emissions year over year for the next several decades. https://twitter.com/robbie_andrew/status/1129667484527804418

Some countries do have declining CO2 emissions, but the ones that matter: China, India do not. Unless dramatic action is taken, we're still a long ways away from a global peak in CO2 emissions.

I'm the opposite. Nothing drives me up the wall more than people trying to talk to me when I'm trying to work, whether on a computer coding or in the kitchen cooking/baking. I can't concentrate at all when someone tries to talk to me. I can communicate, or I can cook/code, but I can't do both at the same time.

This YouTube video does a great job illustrating how well HTTP/2 works in practice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCEid2WCszM

A lesser known *ownside to HTTP/2 over TCP solution was actually caused by one of the improvements - a single reusable (multiplexed) connection - that could end up stalled or blocked due to network issues. This behavior could go unnoticed over the legacy HTTP/1.1 connections due to browsers opening a hugh number of connections (~20) to a host, so when one would fail it wouldn't block everything.

Yes, this is Marxism. Marxism was tried quite a few times already, particularly in the USSR. I was born in the USSR and lived there until it collapsed, so I am pretty familiar with what Marxist socialism used to look like.

Documenting conceptions of AI in a short survey
I don't really think you're trying to engage in a good faith discussion, but in case you are:

Lots of companies that handle medical information are exempt from HIPAA. "Many organizations that use, collect, access, and disclose individually identifiable health information will not be covered entities, and thus, will not have to comply with the Privacy Rule."[1] Generally many of our practices meet or exceed HIPAA requirements, either because we're complying with some other rule (like GDPR, or Common Rule for protection of subjects in research), or because we think we should.

You also still haven't given a specific example of something you think we're doing that you don't like. For example acquiring, analyzing and storing medical data is sort of required in order to provide our service to our customers so unless you think DTC genomics is fundamentally without merit this doesn't seem objectionable. If your concern is the "trades in" I think you may not understand exactly how we operate. Our privacy statement says we won't share even de-identified individual-level data without obtaining consent to do so. We rarely do that, for nearly all of our work, we only share statistical results from pooling information from thousands of individuals, where there is no way to extract data about any individual that contributed to the analysis.

As for the original article, I'll stake my professional experience that it's simply not technically possible to do a GEDmatch lookup using "reformatted" CODIS data from 2002. The article says that DNA was submitted to Parabon, not a CODIS profile, Parabon uses SNP arrays, GEDmatch uses SNP arrays, and if you think somehow they didn't in this instance you're frankly delusional.

There certainly are issues with testing old DNA samples and I'm not arguing about any of the difficulties with establishing chain of custody for old evidence, the complexity of statistics for CODIS matching, asserting guilt without a trial, etc. I haven't made any statements about any of that.

While both companies provided consumer-friendly press statements, I would not assume that Lyft or Uber actually cares if this is happening. After all, they also make more money per ride under the scheme. As long as there are enough customers willing to pay the extra cost during surge pricing, drivers and Uber/Lyft would both win.

Speaking of price-fixing.. Competition is what usually keeps prices low in ride-sharing; if Lyft is too expensive, more people will use Uber. But if the drivers of both apps all trigger surge pricing together (in both platforms simultaneously) then it is possible that both platforms will make more money until the fake surge ends.
We just bought a house, it was recently renovated and basically all of the walls in the kitchen/dining/living rooms were removed, and it sat on the market for a long time compared to similarly priced houses in the area. Based on location and everything else, the only thing we could conclude was that people don't like open floor plans as much as HGTV would lead us to believe, but it's awesome for us.

Our major complaint about every apartment we've ever lived in is that half the square footage is hidden in bedrooms no one ever spends time in. We have small children, and apartment buildings were generally quite reluctant to rent us less space than they thought we needed, but we generally chose apartments based on how big the living/kitchen area was. Given the choice between a 1,500 sq ft 2 bedroom with a 1,200 sq ft living room, and a 2,000 sq ft 4 bedroom with a 600 sq ft living room, we'll take the 2 bedroom all day, because we spend all of our time in the main space together, and we only sleep in the bedrooms. Having open space where we can all be together is massively important to our quality of life. (Naturally this will probably change as the kids get older...)

Somewhat related, when I was growing up, all of the families in our friend group tended to congregate at one family's house. They had the biggest house by far, but what I find funny in retrospect is that everyone's homes were laid out the same way, but the big house was SO much bigger, that even the compartmentalized rooms ended up feeling like an open floor plan.

People seem to subconsciously want a kitchen and a dining room and a sitting room and a living room like Downton Abbey, but they don't notice that each room in Downton Abbey is the size of a small gymnasium. At least from my perspective, it's better to have one room like that, than to try and cram all of the other rooms into a too small space.

Reading back over this, I realize I sound very opinionated, and I suppose that's because I am! Sometimes I go into a house and I just can't believe how someone could make a whole 2,000 sq ft feel so small and cramped.

A sci fi bookstore cafe in San Francisco recently closed and cited the loss of service workers as a primary cause. When they started 10 years ago they employed at least half high schoolers... now they can't find any.

I wonder if that is because of demographic changes in San Francisco, or because high schoolers have better opportunities now. Such as internships at the science museum or STEM companies. Or maybe there are other cafes or service jobs high schoolers prefer.

Thoughts??
Personal time is valuable, and going "above and beyond" will more often result in lost time, no extra pay, and as you say, neuroses.

What a lot of people fail to understand is that established companies have no incentive to recognize people or reward efficiency. Once a company reaches a relatively low profitability threshold, efficiency is put on the backburner because effecting the existing patterns can cause a meltdown or make other employees obsolete. If you do extra work to make things more efficient or "better", that can be perceived as a threat to others in the organization because they'll feel inferior or maybe because what you are opportunity could lead to them being let go down the line.

Sometimes there's a good manager that will recognize and reward talent, but the vast majority of people want to show up to their boring job, push keys or pencils mindlessly, and then go home and watch Netflix at the end of the day. This includes people who are at the top. Trying to go above and beyond to impress people is, to them, a needless distraction and might actually lead to them having to do more work. Just advocating for an underling to get a meager salary increase can be a lot of work.

I've learned to only promise the work that is expected of me(i.e. what I'm getting paid for), and I've been a lot happier ever since. This doesn't mean I don't try to do a "good" job, but doing extra is asking for trouble and is an outdated means of getting promoted.

> Anyone here who lives in a modern open-concept house care to comment?

A continuous kitchen/dining/living space was a hard requirement for me when searching for a new place. It has nothing to do with "entertaining", and everything to do with not having walls between people, as well as making the space feel so much larger.

I like being able to look all the way from the kitchen into the living room, and have a comfortable conversation while cooking.

(That said, I don't want that space joined with the entryway; I want to have a foyer, then walk through an archway into a huge open living space.)

> GDPR has changed this.

That's a far, far cry from the reality of "possibly prosecutable in EU in some scenarios." We aren't even using a website right now that's in GDPR jurisdiction. But there's also a weird fetishization of GDPR I've noticed where people invoke it like "heh, my dad works for Xbox. just you wait buddy, he'll have you banned."
I grew up in a house that looks like the first picture in the article ("An open-concept house in Massachusetts in 2005"). To me it always felt more like a hotel than a home, and the way sound traveled was horrible. You couldn't watch TV or talk in the family room at any reasonable volume without disturbing whoever was trying to sleep. It also seemed like a ridiculous waste of space. Instead of those high ceilings we could've had 2-3 more rooms.

There was also a constant battle between the family room and the living room, which housed the piano. The person watching TV would turn up the volume to hear over the piano, then the person playing piano would play a little louder so they could hear over the TV, and this would continue until both were shouting at each other.

Open concept homes look great in pictures but they're terrible to live in, imo.
I live in a mostly open concept. You walk in the front door and have a large area living, dining, and kitchen. A couple rooms/small hallway on one side and master on the other. I think it's great. I can cook and clean and still hold a conversation or casually watch whatever is on TV at the same time. When people come over there is enough space for everyone to be in the same space.

Appliances like dishwashers are very quiet now, so running them is not an issue. And in general, when I cook I'm not banging pots and pans the whole time.

Walling off rooms would make me want to cook less since it would be imposed separation from everything else going on.
Agreed. Adherence to dogma like this is cancer.

This reminds me of one of the first conversations I had with my manager when I started my current job as a software engineer.

I used to work at a large financial company who had an intensely rigorous approach to verifying it's software in both manual and automated ways, as well as a much more careful approach to writing code to begin with.

When I started here (a much smaller startup delivering marketing software for small business clients), I brought up that I was concerned about going to somewhere with a less comprehensive testing pipeline in place, to which I was told:

"It's not particularly important to be able to find bugs before they're released, it's more important to optimize the deployment speed so that we can release the fixes quickly"

Sounded crazy to me at the time, but I later realized it's really all about what your industry is optimizing for, and what would cost you more money.
