Nah, once that happens we get news pieces on 'labor shortages'.

I'm a capitalist. But I recognize that the difference between theory and reality is that in theory there is no difference.

The reality is the strippers have as much leverage as the other side doesn't (that's the hole concept of leverage). Club owners have the leverage of the cost of setting up a great club, and local regulations.

This then translates to: the more strip clubs in a city, the more they will have to compete. That is, if they aren't colluding * Which is a lot easier when the people controlling that side of the supply equation are likely less than a dozen sophisticated guys in a city (who tend to all know each other). While the supply of labor is likely in the 1000s or 10,000s (and mostly not-so-sophisticated and can't all know each other)

Isn't it all a front for drugs and prostitution anyways? That's always been under the table, and will continue to be.

If you haven't been offered cocaine or orgasms for money at the strip clubs you've been to, you're doing it wrong.
> and? it's not worth doing unless every life can be saved?

I did not say or imply that.

> The point is thousands of people die per day at the hands of human drivers.

Yes, and thousands will die every day for quite a long time. You make it sound like autonomous vehicles are going to make a significant dent in that number.

> The sooner we can transition to autonomous vehicles, the sooner they'll start saving lives.

This is quite true. It will just be limited to lives in developed nations and a few select other major cities.
Don't forget that during the initial college high growth period they were completely separate networks per school. This was huge as far as building trust between users. Even if the per-school limitation was actually a tech limitation on Facebook's part.
All very good points.

"Fat is a good insulator but so is muscle"

I never thought of that
It’s not that simple.

Insurers compete on the employer market for premiums. If you keep jacking up your premiums, you may find an employer dumps you.

And the pool of money is finite. Getting a better deal on a drug means you have more money to spend on other care that might get you more members.

That said, I agree the 80/20 ACA law is a stupid way to try and control costs.
I've been a "MacBook" user since 2002 (tiBook), with subsidiary Linux machines playing second fiddle for when I'm at the Homebase.

Before that, I was 80% Linux and 20% SGI/MIPS for most of the 90's.

I Wish someone would make a Linux laptop as physically appealing as the 2018 MacBook Pro.

I have a GPD Pocket. Its pretty damn close. Gimme the same (or better, naturally) specs, but better form-factor than the MacBook Pro, and I will switch immediately.

Alas, until then, I'm using a MacBook.

READY TO SWITCH THOUGH! ITS THE HARDWARE, NOT THE SOFTWARE!
"RELATED VIDEOS: Thinkware Q800 Pro Dash Cam Captures Accident"

Yes, very related, Popular Mechanics. Keep pushing "video views" so the marketing team can show the executive team how great their engagement numbers are.

The social acceptance aspect is vanishing in some ways, but certainly not in all. That can be a huge benefit to marriage, especially if some of the less-than-accepting parties are family members.

Yes, the world would be a better place if family always accepted your choice of partner, regardless of marriage. But that's often not the reality we live in due to religious beliefs, cultural norms, etc.

I don't believe everyone should get married. I don't believe there should be any social stigma surrounding marriage--either positive or negative. But I do think it has value.

I'll be the first to admit that I was not expecting marriage to cause any sort of change in my mentality, the way I approached the relationship, or the relationship dynamics in general. But it happened.

I fundamentally believed I was 100% committed and marriage was a waste of time and money. But there was a "voice" in the back of mind always saying "you can just leave if you don't like a thing"; and I didn't recognize it was even there until I got married and it stopped.
it just takes time. there are a _LOT_ of systems that need to be updated/ perhaps replaced. have not installed a ipv4 only system for a few years. but still have a huge amount of systems that is not migrated. and probably will not be until there is a revision or some reason to touch it.

You think RMS isn't being evaluated on his whole?

The accusations are various, serious, and have been out of sight and out of mind until now.

The problem with calls to "evaluate people on their whole" is that it allows people to get away with serious crimes only to be forgiven because they did something nice later on. People have a moral problem with this.
That interm period, if it existed at all, has likely already passed.

While I can understand opposing income based taxation, I don't understand why opponents of income based taxation would support specific industries evading existing income based taxation laws rather than working to change the taxation laws for everyone.
Do you find it hard to find a strip club?
100% agreed, let's not editorialize titles please.
> this is certainly not what the general population are feeling

Rosa Luxemburg said that "those who do not move, do not notice their chains". Of course most people in mainland China do not feel anything close to a "suffocating oppression" because the mere thought of disobedience may never have occurred to them. To insinuate that the reason for this is the fact that "social injustice" is "voiced and acted upon" is nothing short of insulting. Most people in China would want more freedom, because they are human and humans do: but most of them are also raised in a system that equates the communist party with stability, and most people believe the (of course, to some extent correct) propaganda that disobedience would cause chaos. That is not to say that the CCP is in power due to wide popular support, they are in power due to wide popular apathy.
Hard to find a corporate sponsors list.. but from the RustConf list, looks like AWS, Google and MS/Azure are all Rust supporters. Not to mention MS looking into replacing some Windows internals with Rust.

I think Rust will see huge growth from best of breed WebAssembly tools to the really small/fast libraries available. I'm not that deep, but it's been an interesting learning curve. Hoping to find a couple things to actually work on in terms of projects this coming year with it.

Edit: I am curious if we'll see some Docker tooling move towards Rust, most of that is currently Go, though some of the wasm stuff might be a better direction vs. containers.
It'd be nice if he explained why he chose to include each book on the list. I think the section where he lists books that he'd like to reread is the most important section.

I wonder if it's any relation to other heightened sensitivities, such as to bright light (compared to how other people handle it), lots of competing sounds (large loud halls full of people having independent conversations), and just general hyper-awareness of everything around oneself.

Whether it's accepted or not as "a thing", the book "The Highly Sensitive Person" did mostly describe me. I read the book only recently, so I didn't develop the sensitivities as a result of reading about them :).
Right, but non-controversial speech doesn't need protecting - there's no question of freedom there.

Freedom of speech means the freedom to say things that other people wish you wouldn't say. Only controversial speech needs protecting, so in a sense, controversial speech is the only kind that freedom of speech is concerned with.
My apologies then.
> Trades get canceled/rejected because the price moves away from their limit/immediate-or-cancel order all the time

When your trade is occasionally beaten by someone at a different brokerage (or the same brokerage) that's normal. When there is a bot on the wire doing it every time that's a problem.

The changes in the price happen more often because they are marking up the price while the trade is still in progress. This doesn't help anybody except the HFT firm. Discovery isn't more efficient because the discovery has already happened, they set the price based on what they had discovered.

HFT profits are falling because people got wise to their system and built countermeasures.

I don't think you have a strong point with just 1 data point. If Uber eats is delivering mostly bad food to most people then you'd probably have a good point that they should clamp down on quality control.
Money is something to be sure you're aligned on before getting married.

I'd argue that marriages that're based on alignment on money, kids, and lifestyle tend to do much better than ones that are based on passion, attraction, and wish-fulfillment. Unfortunately the popular image of love, dating, and marriage doesn't really reinforce this. (As a side note, I think pop conceptions of dating are seriously broken: there's this idea that it's about impressing the other person and making yourself more desirable, while you're significantly better off if you just be yourself and continue letting people reject you until you find the one person who doesn't reject you.)
I keep my LinkedIn profile up-to-date, but otherwise I don't publish my resume anymore. Nearly all the hits I get are LinkedIn, mixed with a few calls based on seriously out-of-date versions of my resume.
The implication in the letter is "if you go forward with Libra, then scrutiny will increase." Which again, makes sense, because previous safeguards (KYC and AML) would have to be updated to reflect the realities represented by financial transactions in Libra.

The financial system is regulated through high barrier entrance controls, and various levels of traffic pattern analysis through AML laws. Libra threatens to blow a hole in that for some period of time while the tools and processes are updated. Therefore... More scrutiny.

It isn't a conspiracy. It's just how things work in strictly regulated industries. Although usually, it isn't such a big deal that Congresspeople get directly involved through constituent outcry, and it is left to the Executive agencies to do the back and forth with the industry to ensure things go without a hitch.
> They wouldn't make as much money if everyone clipped the coupon.

I get on a basic level it's a form of price discrimination, it just seems unfathomable that this bizarre skeuomorph, totally dependent on a series of random historical developments, would actually happen to line up with the way to extract the most return from your customers and/or give them the best experience.

But hey, I found the perpetual fake "50% off" sales at JC Penney's crazy making, and when they reversed that for more honest pricing they almost went out of business. I know I'm just shaking my fist at irrationality for no reason.

It still bothers me though.
I'm going to guess that it's hard to get a license to operate a strip club in San Francisco so it may be more of a regulatory and lobbying game.

> Yes you feel bad in both cases, but you probably feel much worse when it's an intentional thing.

Of course. I don't want to make people feel bad regardless of intention so my personal SOP is to try not to hurt people in regards to gendered language by keeping it as neutral as possible, and that's pretty easy when it's typed out IMO.
It's a feature, not a market play. GitHub wants to be a default for all your most basic CI/CD uses, but they're not taking on all of software security. This is a huge market, they're implementing like 1 feature of 1 use case.

Well, do you think it adds to the discussion?

I do think it's almost, but not completely off-topic.
XP required themes signed by Microsoft. There were cracks that removed that requirement, but the result was, that when something was broken, you got to keep all the pieces.

For OSX, there were also hacks that changed the system appearance, and Apple took increasingly harder stance against them. Again, they break more than they solve.

The reason why platform vendors do not support third-party theming is, that it limits their ability for further development. They would need to preserve compatibility for something, that is internal implementation detail. For first party themes, they can keep them in lockstep with the rest of framework. For third party, they cannot. So they prevent third parties from existing.
The relevant point is

> I don't think anyone is suggesting that publicly-funded investment would make this happen faster. Just safer.

The point is that while it could be safer per year, being slower means that it's not safer.

I didn't try to define philanthropy at all. Call it what you will.

I'm not thinking of any celebrities, and it's really weird that you made that assumption.

It's simply unimpressive to me when people give away money through foundations or other organized means just cause they're rich. The bar should be much higher to earn anyone's praise. That's all I'm saying. And I don't have anything to add to what you've written.
Makes sense, given that American kids are now overweight and obese. So this legitimizes gaming as an extracurricular activity. What it really means is more fat butts in chairs doing nothing.

FWIW I don't think highly of team sports, either.
Yeah, they were going to sell it as a small business. Gosling said that once RMS found out he freaked and ripped out any copyright headers and released as is for free.

Then IBM and DEC used RMS Emacs with their machines to which the two guys sued and won but they didn't kill RMS Emacs so it was a "Pyrric victory." In court the source code for both was the same and RMS had even forgotten to replace a few of the original copyright headers.
two words - job security

I've been in many orgs where engineers like to reinvent the wheel. Just so they can claim ownership over more components, add polish to resumes ("Led project to rewrite X to scale", "built X from scratch") and makes them look busy. When it comes to perf reviews, or when it comes to job cuts, they'd likely survive given they know more / built those components.
I feel there is a strong argument to decouple social security and benefits from employment; the current legislation feels like a bad model design.

I am confident that when it was first conceived, people sought to do well for individuals. Now, a month doesn't go by without a similar dispute affecting a new industry. The argument is always between individuals that want to become employees, and individuals that want to stay as contractors.

It is a shame that among our political candidate options nobody is really rethinking the system with an engineering mindset. To even begin to grasp the current model and its implications feels like jumping into a legacy project without hope, and that isn't right. It should be simpler.
I wonder if strippers could be classified as sales people. There are plenty of companies that pay sales people on 100% commission. If saying "hi honey, want a dance?" isn't sales, I don't know what is. It's been a long time since I worked in sales, so I'm not sure if this would work.
Nearly all of the clubs were owned by the same guy.
The initial "boner pill" was also discovered entirely by accident--it was originally meant to be a hypertension/angina drug. While it wasn't very good for that, it did have a...marked side-effect, which Pfizer ran with.

> Perhaps there is something more to an arrangement developed all over the world spanning a variety of cultures. Yes, one aspect of marriage is the business partnership. But there are other aspects to a marriage relationship that can’t be codified in law.

I have nothing against the cultural institution of marriage. It's probably a good idea for most people.

However, most people are unwilling to participate in the cultural institution of marriage without also having a legal marriage.

At this point in the US, the laws surrounding marriage and the cultural institution have almost nothing to do with each other. For example, almost all of the laws around the sexual aspects of marriage: for cause divorce, alienation of affections, etc. are gone in most places.

So when people are evaluating marriage, the most important thing to evaluate is the law, because that's what affects people lives the most.

6 Attitudes You Must Avoid to Be Happy in Your Life
I have this exact same problem - 2018 MBP, Dell U3415W. Sometimes it works, sometimes I can move the mouse enough to get it to work, sometimes the monitor won't wake up at all, sometimes the monitor wakes up and has a VGA screen resolution. I thought I had "fixed" it by turning off sleep mode in the MBP, but after a couple of days of working properly it started failing to wake up again.

I know its a problem with the macOS somewhere but Apple just doesn't seem to be focused on fixing these types of things. Even if you file a bug report it disappears into the ether and is never heard from again.
You might be right. I find a lot of old vernacular pretty objectionable on stylistic grounds - if I was going to describe it, I'd call it 'semi-colon heavy'. Lots of big, chunky sentences with curlicues. It's a hard style to like. Then again, Moby Dick is written in that style, and it's amazing. I think it's like beef wellington or lobster thermidor. It's amazing if it's done really well, but a mediocre one is horrible.
>How is "your research is not into the topic of this journal" a "political" opinion?

Are you familiar at all with the 8 papers that were rejected and went on to win the Nobel Prize?

Example: Fermi's paper on weak interaction...rejected by Nature. The rejection was on the basis "to far removed from reality to be of interest to readers", it was only the discovery of 1 of the 4 fundamental forces of nature.

It appears the rejection on this basis are often just a form rejection in many cases that allows the journal to reject a paper outright rather than provide any explanation/feedback.

Then again I suppose nothing like a reviewer being able to point to a Nobel Prize winner and chuckle to themselves that this person isn't even smart enough to identify the proper journal to publish their work in.
At least these projects were engineer driven and open source. It's not really unusual for projects to be abandoned or fail based off of some faulty forecasting by sales or product.
Earth level EM waves are indistinguishable from background noise pretty quickly thanks to the inverse square law. And we've been reducing emissions, not increasing them, as we shift to cell networks rather than one to many broadcast networks of old.
I don't know why people are being coy. This isn't some secret sauce.

Ruby is a frequent scripting language at Amazon. JRuby on Rails is (or was) a solid way to get a nice web app running for internal use without interfacing with Spring. The AWS SDK is pretty great for internal tools that need to interact with S3.

It honestly isn't super interesting, but it's a well-supported platform internally.
Yeah, this has been so predictable. There are a lot of people who seem to feel like Tesla's accomplishments are trivial, but the reality is that building cars is hard. Building them at any kind of scale (even tens of thousands a year) is incredibly hard for a business that has never done it before.

The great surprise isn't so much the failures as that Tesla has succeeded at getting to the volumes that they have.
If you awaken to the collapse of duality into unity, you see that its your loss too, its everyone's loss.
I don't think they would be particularly helpful for sleeping. Firstly, they would need to have very good microphone sensitivity to detect the (very?) low frequencies or at least the low sound pressures of those low freqs.

Also, when I tried the new big Sony noise canceling headphones (very highly rated), I found the sensation somewhat unsettling. They did indeed shut out practically every external sound (in a big store, not at home in bed), but I perceived some kind of constant subtle positive air pressure in my head similar to what you feel about half a meter under water.

My solution now in the rare case where I'm in a location that bothers me is to use some low speed fan to create lower frequency white noise. Also, either I've been luckier the last few years where I've lived or I'm becoming less sensitive to it, because I don't get bothered as often.
Yes I can imagine if you let a bunch of people go, you might end up in a situation where you need some contractors to fill some holes for a while.
Some people do deliberately (misgender) to antagonize a person. Particularly people who feel their culture is being redefined without them.

By the way, EVERY trans person I know has been EXCEEDINGLY kind and understanding when I've made a mistake with their gender. Now, if I don't know it already, I ask what they prefer to be called the same way I would ask how to properly pronounce someone's name. "Pardon me, what are your pronouns?"

If they've stated what their pronouns are then use them with the same respect you would muster to call someone by their proper name and pronunciation and spelling. The value here is no different, just more broadly applied then you're perhaps used to.

If you deliberately misgender someone (show me a nerd hasn't had this or some similar slur used against them) then you're just a jerk and should be reprimanded.

As an aside, to all the people complaining about non-English speakers doing enough work already participating in our idiom: 1) proper use of pronouns is essential to speaking English with or without neopronouns. 2) Many languages and cultures require VERY refined and strict understanding of a persons A) Age, B) Marital status, C) Gender and especially D) Social status before even beginning to address them.
