The book is called "More work for mother" because a lot of labor saving devices saved male labor by making the work physically less demanding and allowing it to thus be shifted to the wife.

Three hundred or so years ago, most couples were literally working to put food on the table and keep people clothed. They did so by raising their own food and sewing their own clothes, etc. Standards of living were generally lower.

Over the course of that 300 or so years (because I probably read the book around two decades back), cash money became more common and so did working for cash money instead of laboring to grow your own food, make your own clothes, etc. So labor saving devices shifted a lot of household tasks to women in order to free men up to go get a paid job. This made sense so women could be home with the children since they are the ones that get pregnant and also produce milk.

Men used to pull up the rugs and beat them one or more times per year. Then we invented vacuum cleaners and women took over cleaning the rugs.

Women and men were both often very overworked, but it's possible that the historian couple saw the wife collapse in part because a lot of what we classify as women's work today was handled by male labor at one time and in part because standards of living were generally far lower back then. Trying to maintain anything resembling our current standards without modern labor saving devices is crazy on the face of it. If, on top of that, you expect the woman to do a lot of chores that would have been male labor at one time, yeah, you are going to run someone into the ground.

Back when I used to read such things, studies typically found that women with children were chronically short of sleep whether they had paid jobs outside the home or not. People generally underestimate how much work homemakers are doing. Friends and neighbors routinely demand "favors" because they see a homemaker as someone who has nothing but leisure time on her hands, not someone busy cooking, cleaning, buying groceries, etc all day long.

In my marriage, I also saw evidence that my husband had no real appreciation nor respect for the amount of work I did as a full-time wife and mom. It is one of the reasons we are divorced.

So I'm abundantly familiar with the fact that most of the world underestimates how much work women typically do, dismisses it as "not real work" because you are just supposed to be thrilled to pieces to be home with your children, etc. But the book in question was a serious history book and was remarkably even-handed, which is one of the reasons I mention it relatively frequently. I don't like works that hate on men, that act like women are merely victims of the so-called Patriarchy, etc.
it doesn't make internal investment impossible. it just changes the pockets it comes out of. well, actually it doesn't even do that, because either way it would be coming out of the cash owned by the PE shops, whether it sits on the books of the company or has been paid out to its owners. they can always decide to invest more into initiatives that show a promising return. the issue here is not the structure, it's rather that the owners of these shops made mistakes, which will happen. but the incentives are not misaligned.
This is a great post and so spot on. At some point in my career my 'review prep' (which was the time I spent working on my own evaluation of my year at a company) became answering the question, "Do I still want to work here?" I categorize my 'review' in four sections (which are each rated at one of five levels, needs improvement, sometimes meets expectations, meets expectations, sometimes exceeds expectations, or consistently exceeds expectations)

I start by reviewing how I'm being managed, I expect someone managing me to be clear in their expectations of my work product, provide resources when I have identified the need to complete jobs, can clearly articulate the problem I am expected to be solving, and can clearly articulate the criteria by which the solution will be evaluated.

Second I review my co-workers, using a three axis evaluation, can I trust what they say to be accurate/honest, can I count on them to meet their commitments, and are they willing to teach me when I don't understand something and conversely learn when their is something they do not know.

Third I review what level of support do I get to do my job. Am I provided with a workspace where I can get work done? Do have have the equipment I need to do what is being asked? Is my commute conducive to the hours required? And finally and most important, does this job allow me to balance work obligations and non-work obligations?

Fourth I review whether or not the company mission, ethics, and culture is still one that I wish to be a part of. Am I proud of the company's mission? Do I believe that the leadership will make ethical calls even if doing so would mean less profit margin? Can I relate to and am I compatible with the values that my co-workers espouse and the actions they take? (this is the "company culture" theme, is it still a company that fits me culturally)

A company that receives lower than a 3.0 rating I put on a 90 day "company improvement plan" (CIP). I bring issues to the leadership who are in a position to address the situations that I've found wanting and try to secure their commitment to change. If after 90 days they haven't been able to (if they choose not to they're done right away), then I "fire" the company and work to process my exit as expeditiously as possible.
If you’re Brazilian then you’ve made your own bed. I won’t criticise, because why would I.

E sim meus pais e minha família são brasileiros. Portanto, boa sorte meu compadre. Se o Bolsonaro resolver algum problema no Brasil, que Deus abençoe o Fdp. Agora não acredito que o fará, particularmente na corrupção.

E não estou dizendo que Haddad devia ter ganho. O Brasil é o que é e pouco me serve explicar o nosso país para gringo. Mas eu tento. Eu tento.
What's the problem with dancing with Molly?
I'm pretty senior and I barely think about work outside my forty hours a week of in-office time. An hour or two a week, most weeks, I'd guess. Maybe your experience is just different from other people?

I find the 8 1/2 hours a day statistic to be perhaps true, since some types of work expand to fill the time allotted. I don't believe the 5.7 hrs a day statistic for working moms, though. That would imply that a working mom spends essentially every waking, non-commuting hour working on housework during the week, then six hours each day on the weekend.
You'd be surprised how many app/site developers ignore lower/zoomed resolutions. Worse is when zooming is disabled completely.
Those time periods also assume that you're just blindly cracking every possible 8-character combination, but you don't have to do that. Running your cracker against a password list like rockyou will probably get you 90%+ of passwords cracked in less than one second per hash with that same hardware.
A lot of people in IT knowing how to negotiate well will probably cross the border. I would, at least.

I agree it doesn't make sense from a financial perspective generally but it does depending on your health records/situation. I, for example, have a chronic disease which implicates monthly medication which is crazy expensive. I could enter a private insurance (because I have a Anwartschaft, thank god I kept this from since forever) but the monthly rate will drive to insane amounts when I'm getting older and/or adding the fact of kids (Familienversicherung).

Going back to public insurance after being in private insurance is highly problematic and probably even impossible without playing grey-zone games if you don't want to lower your salary dramatically below the income border for multiple years.

I'm just pointing out the hypothesis and the train of thought. I don't know the real answer here. It's not my hypothesis.

If, for example, you wanted to harvest domain names because you had a hot 0day on wordpress, this would be a convenient way to do it.

All I meant is that he is removing all responsibility of the population for their own government and effectively saying “other countries should force the US [to take action on climate change]”

It’s like any internal change is impossible i his mind - the only way anything can happen is if other countries tariff each other, and if other countries force the US’s hand... why isn’t he campaigning for change instead of sitting around and saying other, “more responsible” countries, need to force the US to take action?

That’s what I meant with “getting off free”. The population of the US, as far as I can tell, can choose some of their governments direction.
Some of us believe digital shouldn’t tax at all. Despite us using electricity. Invalidating all your points.
I am not arguing for a ban, nor am I saying that LBOs cannot work. I am saying your bank risk argument in favor only works in theory and therefore we will have for more LBOs that cannot work.

Of course LBOs are not significant enough to single-handedly cause a bank to fail. However, they can still cause companies to go bankrupt that would have otherwise survived.

In any event, in a system where banks are not allowed to fail, I cannot see how they should be allowed to finance LBOs.
Absolutely, I paid for a Pixel 2 XL when it came out because of various issues with my prior phone. But I don't think I'll bey paying over $500 for another phone ever again. The 3a is a great phone. I'm pretty sure when this one dies, I'll probably stick to mainline mid range phones that have been out at least 3 months before making any purchase again.

Samsung has too many products to even think about, and their top end is too expensive. Apple, I just don't care for. There don't seem to be too many developer friendly android options, and not sure if Librem 5 (or whatever comes after) is worth the extra cost either.
In fact I find websearch not the best word to describe this function. Maybe a better name would mention this as more "human" query? Or a "simpler" query?
Is that a semi-ironic joke? The elite in theocracies have plenty of money.

The big difference is that the elite here invent crazy-useful shit like online-shopping or iPhones or map-reduce. The elite in a theocracy or military dictatorship accomplish and contribute nothing.

Without being able to contribute to your question: in hindsight of Brexit (UK will leave the EU) this might not be possible (as easy?) as in the past anymore.
I disagree. The gold standard is if outside groups subject your findings to new experiments and reproduce the same results.
Good lord man, you are so defensive about this, you might benefit from working out your issues with a good therapist.
Only 30 percent of Americans itemize and less than half even have a 401(k). 46% do not own any stock at all, either directly or indirectly through retirement savings. We are definitely not talking about the majority here.
I _think_ those things are disconnected. If you stay more than 6 month + 1 days in Germany, I think it becomes your primary tax country and you fall into the German social system (for good or bad). But really, just guesswork. Ask someone :-)

If you are contracting for multiple clients, you should probably be cool. The thing which is problematic is if you only work for a single client (the mentioned "Scheinselbstständigkeit" - your claim to be self employed, but you really aren't). In this case Germany really just wants that you are regularly employed by that client company. (the reason is that this was commonly abused to force cheap labour into self employments, so that the employers also don't have to pay gov insurances and work around a whole lot of other laws ...)
Coming in cold, that's a very fair concern/comment. I generally believe that products can be privacy-first but still serve the needs of marketers while providing consumer choice. Consumer choice is the key in my opinion. Shareaholic tools do what the customer sets them to do, with opinionated safeguards to prevent customers from missteps with regards to GDPR and consumer choice. For example, Shareaholic is one of the very few that also respects DNT signals (even though DNT is now defunct).

Btw, Share Count Proxy is also whitelisted by Firefox which provides the added advantage of share counts actually showing on Firefox if you use the proxy while direct calls to Facebook.com, Pinterest, etc are blocked.
This is absolutely amazing!

One thing that's unclear, and perhaps I didn't read carefully enough, is how you're connected to this system.

Do you wear it? Or are you only connected while sitting, sleeping, etc?
Their comment seemed respectful to me. It was pointing out that some users of the platform have priorities other than maintainability and reproducibility.

Are we counting all time spent with children as a chore?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a father of two. Like you, our work is not split evenly, though I like to think I take on a higher share than most similarly situated men. There are times when my time with my sons can be trying, and I can get behind counting some fraction of that time as work.

On the other hand, just today my son and I spent three hours going to and from a playdate with a friend of his. I'm also friends with the dad. It was a pleasant time for all involved, and we got some sun and some exercise. This is not an atypical way for us to spend a Sunday afternoon. If this is accounted for as "work" then I would say the statistic is a bit misleading, as that is not something most people I know would consider labor.

This is like telling unattractive people to shower and get a haircut if they want to find a partner. Sure, it only works at the margins, but it's actionable and beats doing nothing.
Imo tex isn't much more machine readable, depending on what you want to do. Reformatting or lossy conversion to plaintext? Sure. Determining semantics? Good luck.

Of course it’s impossible to disable zoom mode for apps. But Apple also turned off the ability to disable zooming in Safari one or two releases ago.
What’s your theory on the justification DoD is giving to go single-award IDIQ?

I doubt their actual justification will ever be public, but I suspect their motivation is that they require a common IaaS platform such that they can have a unified toolset and a single, comprehensive approach to infrastructure security.

Keep in mind also that fewer proprietary features at AWS are available when considering standardizing across all classification types. “East/west” and GovCloud don’t have feature parity.

tl,dr; Ken Thompson invented them overnight in 1973 and everybody was happy afterwards. An original journal article is linked (http://emulator.pdp-11.org.ru/misc/1978.07_-_Bell_System_Tec...) which shows an example of pipes at page 25.
I might be wrong, but they only have to take one if you are below a certain age _and_ below the border income (Beitragsbemessungsgrenze). Always be careful w.r.t. these kinds of decisions because they could cost you an awful amount of money later.

Check the condom brand/type. Sex has no smell most of the time. I found the condom to be the culprit.
That's an excellent move, considering the growing uncertainty and the horde of power-tripping socialist politicians threatening to increase taxes and regulation.
Looking back at this particular comment with less of a hothead, I can sort of see where you’re coming from.

I still don’t understand how you would get this to work unless it was some sort of universal agreement. If it wasn’t such, what would stop it from descending into a carbon war, similar to the trade wars we have now with Trump, with cleaner countries aggressively adding tariffs to poorer, “dirtier” countries? It would just be a form of de-development for poor countries who can’t upgrade.
Convention should always be adhered to unless you have a really good reason for not doing so. This is especially true for things like REST where convention is the whole point.
I got an email 3 days ago asking me to reset my password due to "system updates" and initially assumed it was just a phishing email. Since gmail is pretty aggressive about filtering those I looked into it more and realized it was genuine which made me even more confused because I couldn't imagine what sort of "system updates" they could've done that would require a password reset for all users. I kind of assumed they were covering up a breach so I wasn't at all surprised to see this headline. How scummy.
Thanks very much for this! Great, practical tips.

I'll get to work on the asset purchase agreement.

Is it normal in the private sector for companies to spend $1B/yr on cloud services? I feel like at that price point you're better off building out your own infra for most stuff, and using the cloud only for the remaining $10M - $100M fraction where you really do need dynamic scaling.
Do you shelter your money into "tax havens" ? If so, why do you cheat the system this way (note: I didn't ask the question "is this legal", so please don't bake that affirmation into your response).
Not even slightly. You don't get to "believe" that laws do not apply to you. They still do.
What’s your point? A corrupt party was removed by peoples’ votes. It’s how democracy works. Eventually people notice the stealing.

transparent review isn't a perfect solution. But the problem you suggest of reluctance to anger colleagues or currying favor are worse under the current system than they would be under a transparent one.

Just because other journals failed in the past doesn't mean we shouldn't try again in the future! Maybe there were some mistakes we could learn from? Also the internet is becoming a more familiar tool used more often by more people every day, maybe it just wasn't the right time previously.

Pardon me if this is different in the states, but in a number of EU countries you're entitled to a state-sponsored lawyer if you're at a threat of being unable to defend your rights simply because of financial means. This generally only applies when you're the one who is sued, plus caveats depending on the jurisdiction.

I used to work closely with Quicken Loans and other FoCs and can attest that this behavior is commonplace. There is this strange culture within the Family of Companies where non-tech leaders think that tenured Quicken engineers and tech people are these sort of super-geniuses. Many years back I was a part of a company in the Quicken led start-up space. We were often "encouraged" to meet with Quicken or FatHead senior engineers for advice. One time I reluctantly agreed and met with "the best programmer in Michigan" who's first piece of advice was:

"Delete your app and start over. Ruby on Rails is trash. Real programmers use C#. With C# you can create libraries that you can reuse across all your apps."
I am reading the "Conclusions and recommendations" section and I am not seeing any such criticism of "Activision for following the law". Rather, I am seeing statements like this one:

> The case of Activision Blizzard is just another example demonstrating the need for governments to introduce more effective measures to deal with royalty-based tax avoidance schemes. In the UK this means changing legislation to make sure that royalty payments made to companies in jurisdictions where the UK has a tax treaty are included in the charge to income tax.

That is not a criticism of Activision Blizzard. It is a straightforward statement of the fact that "more effective measures [are needed] to deal with royalty-based tax avoidance schemes". So, I don't really see what you're talking about. Let's try this: do you agree that they are "using offshore tax havens to reduce their tax burden"? If so, would you further agree that this is a "tax avoidance scheme"? Why or why not?

Oh goodness, well if a pithy quote said it then it must be true.
