I think your comment is the sexist one, by claiming that otherwise normal internet behavior becomes sexist because the person in question is female. People treating a female shittily doesn't mean that it is necessarily sexist.

Middlebrow dismissals are so common on HN that we had to invent the term to talk about it.

I do see what I feel are probably sexist comments on this thread, but it is the 'Oh I wonder why she is the only person in the headline' ones, and not the 'is this technically a truck?' ones.
"How well does it actually work in practice?"

Quite well, once you get path the teething pains of finding out how the various components you're using understand the standard. In practice, it's very similar to whatever Google, Github, and Facebook use for their federated authentication. (Very similar.)

We didn't use the authorization, and I wasn't involved in picking or setting up the IdP(s). But once you have one working, it's relatively simple to slap in front of all of your apps.

I'd bet money that most of those managers weren't even in the building for most of that death march.

I have a standing rule. If I work overtime it's because I fucked up. I said something would be done by Friday but I goofed off, I'll work.

If I'm working nights and weekends for business reasons, then my manager is in the building the entire time. A lot of them tone down their rhetoric when you make them put skin in the game. All of a sudden some of the scope gets negotiated down.
I'm not disputing that those things happen, but those are second-order effects which nobody advocating really cares about at the time of creation of regulation, they're certainly not maliciously advocating for any of that (at least the latter two points).

You are correct. For reasons of expediency I did not mention that there's a "difficulty" factor which is usually expressed by a variable LOC/hour rate. e.g., Server backend code might be estimated at 100 LOC/day whereas code for an 8-bit embedded controller might be 10 LOC/day.
It might be not so simple. The prices are high in some places (like city center or places with good transportation access) because everyone wants to live there. You can build new houses in other places with poor transportation, but nobody will want to live there.
There's an entire industry dedicated to traffic analysis and selling government these services. Some places are even privatizing toll-roads. The state is using eminent domain to take land, taking out loans and issuing bonds to build the roads, and letting private contractors 'operate' the roads perpetually. If that wasn't bad enough, the state guarantees the private operators a minimum amount of revenue in case there isn't enough traffic to meet some minimum threshold. Essentially, all the same problems as privatized prisons.
So what are the USA's solutions anyway?
I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to convey here as your link seems to be describing the same behavior.

If you’re asserting that it’s equally bad to harvest organs from Falun Gong practitioners vs. political dissidents... yes, somewhat obviously, involuntary organ harvesting is about as maximally evil as a government can get.

It’s an interesting catch 22.

The housing you make margins off are expensive housing in expensive locations.

The reason to keep rents affordable is that it’s generally a good thing in terms of keeping gentrificarion and segregation in check.

Cap on rent can’t be the only policy though.

I see the exact same situation in Stockholm, and there’s a concensus that profit margins are not good enough.

How to solve it?

Either sprinkle lots of tax money in some shape or form or do a quatar fotball world cup kind of setup?

I’m curious, as I see this situation all over, and frankly no one seems to offer a complete solution.

Since this is a thread presumably filled with cryptocurrency experts, here's my own personal captcha:

What is Chaumian cash?

And here's my own personal re-captcha:

Why hasn't some small country somewhere issued their own Chaumian cash to attract... anything? Seems like there would be quite a lot of ways to implement and configure such a system. And it wouldn't take that big of a reserve to help fuel, say, a burgeoning blog micropayment system to the tune of what a Patreon or whatever currently offers.

There's plenty of small countries which offer all kinds of dastardly financial instruments to rich people, so I don't see "it would fuel money laundering" as an explanation for the complete lack of Chaumian cash in our universe.

Edit: clarification
It's not really an option. The hard (and VERY low) cap on transaction volume is a joke. If you think a Bitcoin is actually an option for actual banking for actual people (not just the current set of a few thousand gamblers), you are delusional. The current financial system DOES process more transactions in a millisecond than Bitcoin CAN in a week.
SAML has two way authentication and some advanced security stuff. The IDP and the SP must be registered to one another and can actively sign and verify their transactions. It is noteworthy for some use cases like AWS or bank authentication.

Nonetheless, we can all agree that SAML is an order of magnitude more difficult for no significant benefit. OpenID connect should be largely preferred.
I remember around 2003, making huge battleships in that game and squaring up against the AI's armada. The AI made about 500 tiny ships with weapons incapable of breaching my shields, and with their own shields incapable of surviving my dreadnought blasts. I would kill 5 with my big ships, take no damage from 495 shots, rinse and repeat. The battles took hours! I had to skip tactical battles, couldn't stand that much time, just had the AI simulate it.
This is an excellent piece of advice.

Of the five companies I have worked for, the two where I was disconnected from leadership were where I felt the least valued (and consequently less motivation). Of the three where I worked directly with leadership, I was treated with significantly more respect and felt a much stronger sense of purpose.

It's even worse: there are no reputable claims that vaccines are unsafe (in the sense anti-vaccination advocates mean, anyway).

The only semi-scientific paper was the one which sparked it all, by Andrew Wakefield [0], who is:

> "a discredited former British doctor who became an anti-vaccine activist. He was a gastroenterologist until he was struck off the UK medical register for unethical behaviour, misconduct, and dishonesty for authoring a fraudulent research paper that claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism and bowel disease"

Interesting point. It would only apply to the 15%-25% of below-market-rate units, so yes it would reduce supply, but not as much as making the entire building rent controlled (or below market rate).

> In effect, it's a tax on the young and the migrant to subsidize the older, richer, and more entrenched.

That's not correct. It's a redistribution from landlords to tenants.

It's at least possible that there are also dynamic effects on the larger market, of course, but it's intentionally misleading to act like the "tax" is on people that aren't a party to the transaction. The cost/money that would have been captured by the landlord is instead captured by the tenant. The core of the mechanic is pretty straightforward.
There's a bunch of problems in current banking system, and unfriendly user interfaces, obscure rules with many gotchas and transaction times are some of them. However, to think that I will trust Facebook more with my money than I trust my bank is, on the current stage, I think plain insane.

Also, does using Facebook currency for paying your bills means if you get in trouble with Facebook (which anybody now could by posting a wrong joke, having wrong political ideas or upsetting wrong people) you can not pay them anymore? Would Facebook control the transaction processing (i.e. via Messenger or otherwise)? If yes, then definitely not with a ten foot pole.
Payment networks which supply such functionality can be built on top of crypto as secondary escrow layers. This practice is already common in decentralized marketplaces.
1° doesn't mean anything for those who are used to those units either, when it comes to global warming. A day that's 1° hotter or colder is not that much hotter or colder. You go by the effects scientists say it has on the environment, not by whether it feels as a lot or a little.
I wish someone with a deeper understanding would go to Japan and study how they got this so right. Their zoning laws don't separate uses, only nuisance levels, so you often see residential in commercial areas and small shops in residential neighborhoods. It's amazingly effective at reducing how far you need to go to get places, and gives the whole city a much more organic feel. Plus, there is actually housing if there's demand for it.

Is it just Japanese cultural collectivism that made this work? How did they make this happen when we failed so badly? I have no idea.

> which is also why it's unfair to call it "bad faith."

It doesn't have to be bad faith, sure. It's just been my experience with the people putting the argument forth that they're making it in bad faith. Or maybe intellectually lazy is a better descriptor: they give the impression that it's a serious suggestion, but upon questioning it becomes clear that they haven't applied the least thought to it; it was just a reflexive "I don't want them here" masquerading as a policy proposal.

> as a homeowner, I would recognize that inelasticity and price my rent accordingly. There is no "bad faith" there - just rational economics, where one market understands that the other refuses to correct itself.

No idea what you're talking about here. Nobody's disputing that if demand is high and supply is low, it makes sense to charge high rent prices. At least, I'm certainly not arguing that.

> A "Google Salary" doesn't mean anything if you take home a small fraction of it, and what's left is eaten up by higher prices of the same goods; anywhere else, you can take home more, and those remaining $dollars can get you more.

Whether this is true depends on what those goods you want are. If you want to dump your money into international travel, seeing shows, buying cars and electronics, then high cost/salary places make more sense than low cost/salary places. If you want to own a big house with a lot of land, then the cheaper places are better.

> It's at the point now where I recommend to my employees / friends / colleagues that they shouldn't move to the valley unless they're getting 2.5x their salary, as that _might_ get you the same standard of living vs. our current spot.

It sounds like you're engaging in a common fallacy of assuming people value the same things you do, which is probably a big home, since otherwise needing 2.5x the salary wouldn't make any sense, as there are few other major goods that are impacted that hugely by cost of living (well, there's also childcare).

> It's not necessarily classist or anti-environment for homeowners in a community, who _own_ the land, to band together and dictate what should go on in that community: how it should look, what would be the best for their investment, etc.

It doesn't have to be, but it generally is, because the decisions they reach are generally anti-environment and classist.

What do you think it does when you mandate single family homes on big plots of land? Poorer people can't afford that, ergo they can't afford to live there, ergo poorer people are kept out of living in that neighborhood. And you're saying that economic segregation is not classist, because...?

Similarly, that style of zoning is also energy inefficient and results in people cutting into nature because you need more land per person. Pretty simple. But it's not anti-environment, because...? You haven't actually explained why.

> The easy response is: it only pushes those out to metros _who feel like they have to live there.

Who cares? I'm talking about the actual impact. The impact is encouraging suburban sprawl.

Besides the overtime everything else would be part of the job you were being paid to do.

They tend to range from "I'm not certain that statistical pros and cons of vaccination make sense to my particular situation" to, very much, very explicitly "GOVERNMENT CHEMTRAILZ ARE IN VACCINES TO AUTISTIC EVERYONE!". I wish I were making up or exaggerating the latter - but on daily basis I scratch my head at any number of opinions and fervent beliefs regarding medical items.

There is a tremendous amount of semi-open Facebook groups and other social communities which are actively and openly policed (i.e. it's explicitly in their rules) to prohibit any advice to see a doctor, take medicine, or consult any means but whatever that particular group believes is the fix-all "natural" panacea. There's people who believe chlorine bleach, coffee enemas, your own aged urine (topically, orally, or as a suppository), flesh-eating salves, or any other improbable substance will fix what ails them much better than vaccines or medicine.

Like with religion (* within context of politics, persuastion/evangelization, and human rights etc - not on its own, where it's "to each their own" as far as I'm concerned), a lot of it is presented either consciously or subconsciously dishonest. Just like "Blind Faith" became "Creationism" became "Intelligent Design" to make it more palatable, mainstream, and pseudo-scientific (Hello, "Discovery Institute"); so are a lot of the most quack and dangerous opinions disguising themselves in public as being about rights, freedoms, parents' choice and informed consent. Meanwhile they're spreading pamphlets on how to shop for doctors, fake religion exemptions, create their own bleach for ingestion, and recruit others into their group/cult/whatever.

This is not to say I don't empathize with some of the more earnest types' goals; some of them are just scared parents, overwhelmed by information on social media, without framework to judge, and picking whatever is most comforting, gives them most seeming control over their lives, and clutching to it for all the right or wrong reasons. A lot of it is heart-breaking: all the right intentions in all the wrong directions.

Others are just koo-koo conspiracy types where the more woo the merrier.

> Would you have a problem if driving a sports car for fun included a mandatory carbon-sink tax that covered the car's pollution - if it became more expensive to make, buy, and run a car, but still permitted?

As I understand it's already the case in most first world countries. The problem is that people have more than enough money to pay a few couple hundred dollars more per year. Money isn't enough of an incentive.
Paying more tax on ICE vehicles (and extra for sport cars) to make it "carbon neutral" doesn't remove all the gases from city centers and won't prevent these gases to end up in our lungs.

I do find it funny how just by strength of community alone the most successful cryptocurrency may be the very most centralized one.

I have a feeling the centralization will allow it to have decent transaction speeds and volume which seems to be BTCs biggest flaw (addressed by the lightning network? I’ve kind of stopped following) since all the other nodes (ebay, 26 other companies) can afford the bandwidth.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays with regulators if it takes off in any way.

>One of the things I keep reading about functional languages is how they make reasoning about code easier and how this is particularly useful for distributed systems. Given that Go was built by Google specifically for the purposes of building distributed systems, why isn't it functional?

1) Who said that what you "keep reading" about functional language is true?

2) Even if true, who said that what you "keep reading" about functional language is true in all cases?

3) Who said other factors don't come at play, and might be even more important?

4) Who said a language has to adopt functional principles wholesale, and isn't it enough that it has some (as languages increasingly get)?

5) Doesn't the IT industry always find some methodology to hype as the silver bullet, much akin to the diet industry? Maybe functional programming is one of them?

6) If you don't have personal experience with functional languages or can't personally appreciate whether they really do make "reasoning about code easier", why take what you read about them at face value? Perhaps they miss something?

7) To argue on the other side, who said that when a large company builds something, they get it right? Often it's the inverse.

8) Who said Go was built "by Google" in the strong sense? Go was a rogue project from a small team AT Google. It wasn't an official Google effort (the way Java was for Sun, .NET for MS, and so on) to make an official Google language. It's just that that group was concerned with "what language features would be a good fit for the work with do here at Google" -- but the inverse is not true, Google as a company/management/etc wasn't concerned with building such a language. They just went ahead with people devoting time to the project.

9) Who said the Go team has kept with the times (or even with older but still relevant PL research)?
