I have a habit of 'perusing' github for cool oss projects.

I'm the one who submitted this and while I haven't touch rails code since 2012, makes me almost want to give it a go again on my next project. That and I was reading that demand is higher than supply because a lot of people have jumped from rails, so employment prospects are good for at least awhile.

So I was looking at ways to make ui easier on rails.

Edit: I'm normally a vue/laravel dev. So I was actually searching rails + vue on github w/ more than 5 stars and updated in the past year. Because most rails tools/projects to seem to gear towards react, but I'm not a fan react/redux. I like SFC's in vue much better.
I would encourage you to not give in to this fallacious usage of word, even if many people use it that way. This view has arguably created more harm than the drugs themselves.

Here is the definition from Wikipedia [0], which I think is much more appropriate (and I'm guessing you'd agree with it): "Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, is use of a drug in amounts or by methods which are harmful to the individual or others."

Sure there is another way for it to change. Companies start moving out of California, the employees follow and the demand lessens.

I kinda have a felling that in a future not to far, iots devices collecting our data will be mandatory... and if you want a device that do not collect your data you'll probably end it up having to pay 3-5x more for that product. Its kind of an addiction and companies need rehab already.
> There is no Nobel prize in economics

The Nobel Foundation [1] disagrees. That bank donated the money to establish the prize, but it is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the same organization that awards the physics and chemistry prizes, using the the same procedures.

I’m not convinced that markets don’t work when high pay is involved. If this was true, there is a fortune to be made by creating a mutual fund that invests in companies that avoid superstar pay tiers. Does anyone know of such a fund? How is its performance?

I think we evolved the emotion of envy in a time when being rich meant hoarding. Markets break that evolutionary intuition.
High property taxes are one of the most liberal policies of Texas. It's a progressive tax that is largely shouldered by rich landowners and the revenue form a large part of budget for public school systems.

I'm not sure why people in California love our regressive Prop 13 tax rebates that largely benefit the wealthy and are a cause of huge budget deficits. Prop 13 is the most Republican policy we have in our state.
I'm now _really_ curious as to how many people who use and value TLA+ have actually used refinement. I've used it, you've used it, Lamport and (probs) Merz and Markus have used it, most other people I've talked to haven't. Probably time for a community poll or something.

Judges have minimal training in the procedures of the court. Some are attorneys which gives them more familiarity with law and process, but as far as I know that’s not a requirement.

The jury selection process has nothing to do with qualifications of jurors. The prosecutors are primarily trying to eliminate people they think will be sympathetic and the defense is primarily looking to eliminate people they think might biased against their client.
I like that Vue 3 is sticking to their API though even with the new stuff. React hooks felt like we were doing something wrong while Vue just feels like a natural progressive enhancement.

It’s also cool that you can use the normal Vue lifecycle stuff with the composition api. Episode 129 of full stack radio podcast has a lot of good info in it!
> charging lower tax rates on capital gains than ordinary income

I don't have a problem with the idea. It recognizes that income derived from investments is riskier than income from a paycheck, and applies a discount.

The problem is with the execution. Why is the top rate for cap gains only 20% - even if you earn $10b, but 37% for a mere $510k in ordinary income? Surely there should be some amount of cap gains that can be taxed at 37%. Maybe it's $5m instead of $510k (to recognize the riskiness of the income stream) but it shouldn't cap out at 20%. Simply put, why aren't there more tax brackets for cap gains and other investment income?
Austin has been attempting to create a plan for an extensive zoning rewrite for the last several years. It recently restarted after the previous attempt was abandoned in August 2018 (after spending $8.5 million on consultants) because "it became a political lightning rod for preservationists and neighborhood groups who warned the effort would upend longtime neighborhoods."

I think the appropriate measure is median sales price, not price per square foot. Cities show that most people can consume much smaller homes than the median new construction in America, but small homes isn’t as much of an option in this part of Texas.

Why do I have the feeling that “entitled” is being defined as “they ask for lower salaries that allow the company to keep more of the money they make.”
You don't have to do things in decimal, it's just convenient since you get the answer digit-by-digit.

The idea of long division is just that to solve A/B, we can find another problem C/B we know the answer to and break it into the smaller problem A/B = (A-C)/B + C/B.

For example, to solve 742/13, the normal way is to observe that 13×5=65 is as close as we can get to 74 without going over, so we can reduce this to

742/13 = (742 - 13×50)/13 + 13×50/13
= (742 - 650)/13 + 50
= 92/13 + 50

Now we only have to solve the simpler problem 92/13. All the long division stuff is just a book-keeping method for this data.

But you could also use 13×4=52 and work out

742/13 = (742 - 520)/13 + 40 = 222/13 + 40
222/13 = (222 - 130)/13 + 10 = 92/13 + 10
92/13 = ( 92 - 91)/13 + 7 = 1/13 + 7

This gives the same answer, but it goes 40->50->57. The normal long division goes 50->57, so it never "goes back" on a digit it has decided on.

As a San Franciscan, I am so happy to see this. SF needs negative feedback on the poor choices it makes, and so far the tech boom has somewhat obscured the consequences.

The other OS/2 installation fatal flaw was there were 20+ installation diskettes, so your chance of coming across a bad disk halfway through a 2+ hour installation was pretty good.

If you were an OS/2 administrator back in the day, hearing the disk drive start trying to re-read sectors on Disk 18 was a terrifying prospect.
I don't get it.

I expected some form of (sensible) guide/advice, or at least some verified resources to read on, what is there is essentially (after having scared the non-technical reader):

2) Do the right thing (whatever it is and however it can be done).

> Young men takes more risks and die more frequently of violent death (road accident for example, or alcool related accident in general). That’s a social posture that feminism is actively trying to change but strangely this is cherished by many men, who think changing the male culture is somehow bad for them. If we want young men to die less, let’s raise them as girls (I’m 100% serious). If you actively refuse to raise boys with girly values like care and empathy and being reasonable, then you are actively encouraging young men to risk their life in various stupid ways.

Straw man argument. Reckless impulsive unreflective behaviour is not uniquely masculine or male, it is immature. Men and women are immature and reckless in different ways.
If high property taxes are liberal - why wouldn’t high taxes on other forms of wealth be beneficial?

The mean absolute deviation should be always introduced to people before introducing standard deviation. When trying to figure out what the heck is the standard deviation I also stumbled upon the mean absolute deviation. Now, to me, the standard deviation is the mean absolute deviation. It's just a version that is more sensitive to outliers. Otherwise, I still don't feel like I intuitively (visually) understand the standard deviation.

I feel like the standard deviation is a black box to basically everyone without statistics degree. It also bothers me that it is so widespread, because almost nobody know how to interpret this value. It seems to me like most scientists treat the standard deviation as a magical number that allows to compare spread between datasets and otherwise doesn't mean anything on it's own. I feel like a lot more insight could be gained from the mean absolute deviation.

I'm also curious how are scientific insights affected by defaulting to something that is extra-sensitive to outliers. The effect can't be big per single research, but in collective?
Yes.

I think a definition of "group selection" which includes either multicellular organisms or social insects would be extremely unusual, and basically misses the whole debate. Nobody is confused about why oak leaves sacrifice themselves every autumn.

Tax avoidance "scam". Moving to Texas to reduce taxes, especially SF taxes which are basically useless to the payer [1], [2] is a "scam"? What's the legal framework preventing moves out of SF? Is it indentured slavery to the city council if you ever open an office in SF?

The wealth distributions we see have a mathematical flavour to them but are the result of a system created and governed by humans.

In fact vast disparities in wealth can only be created and sustained through significant social effort.

It takes an incredible degree of social co-ordination for multi billionaires to exist. Outside of a strong rule of law you have be to a strongman or warlord to keep your hands on all that stuff.

As a society we could choose to cap wealth. For example we could say "it's illegal for an individual to own more than a billion dollars worth of assets". The excess would effectively be tax.

I can immediately think of a huge number of problems with this (oh no, all the multi billionaires leave!, offshoring, transfers between family members, "schemes" in general) but it's obviously possible to pass this kind of law, were there the social will to do it.

It is not possible to amass huge assets without deep support from society at large. Police, judges, guards and the goodwill of the public are ensuring the safety of the billionaire's property.
It's said Texas vs California is like Capitalism vs Socialism. Clearly Texas has won landslide and CA is on its way to hell, just thinking about breaking into your car and stealing from store for under $900 will not be deemed as crime makes me sick.

So many CA residents are moving to TX, in the hope of what?

Their first to-do item is to turn TX into CA, all those socialism and liberal bullshit. They did the same to Oregon, Colorado, etc. It's epidemic.

I wonder why they stopped the initiatives to separate from US? I can't wait to support their efforts. Please go away and leave us alone.

At least stop coming to TX please, we're doing fine, just don't come here and ruin what we had.
The lack of legal training is exactly the issue at hand.

Juror selection isn’t about qualifications. However, it does give both sides an opportunity to eliminate vested or deeply unqualified interests that may be biased against them. With a judge you have no such option.
It really is best to come experience it in person. Yes, there's always stupid people doing stupid things anywhere and it's certainly a conservative state, but people are generally much more tolerant and intelligent than the stereotypes.

The stereotypes are hilarious. I'm a computer scientist and spent 9 months at IBM's TJ Watson facility up in New York outside the city. Every person I contacted to rent a room from made a point to tell me that I'd have to leave my horse at home because they didn't have a stable. They uniformly were shocked in disbelief when I explained I owned no horses, no cowboy hat, no boots. The horror...
I would love to leave if I could take my job with me.

Thank you for your well thought out explanation! It is clear now and I was committing the cardinal sin of speaking generally while assuming context that was explicit only to my understanding of the situation. Have a great day!
Didn't know property taxes go to the state first but the overall point remains that if there is an exodus of wealth from the Bay Area, that will affect the resources available for social programs. Also stories about companies and workers leaving the state beyond the Bay Area are hardly in short supply though some might be overdone for clickbait or political purposes.

Texas is significantly worse than SF for anyone who doesn't have a car. There aren't good alternatives to driving to get around there.

The traffic principally affects you if you drive, hence why Texas is often worse even now than SF.
When did I say high taxes on on other forms of wealth wouldn't be beneficial? I totally support taxes on wealth to build social programs.

There are also instances of relatively peaceful people who got the prize and became warmongers, e.g. a certain president of the us, who sent 500 drone strikes into Libya in a single year after winning the prize (among other military adventures)
Wouldn't surprise me if this comment gets shadow-banned (i.e. grayed out or whatever its called) or lots of downvotes given how contentious this topic can be, but I think this is actually an important, non-negligible social factor in human decision making for a large portion of the globe. A central tenant of many organized religions is that humans were somehow "created" differently from animals - e.g. in the "image of god" or similar. It helps eschew that cognitive bias and assure the practitioners that they're in the right, given their (clearly limited) understanding of the situation.

Eleven consecutive positive integers are written on a board. Maria erases one of the numbers. If the sum of the remaining numbers is 2012, what number did Maria erase

This is a very challenging problem. Without a calculator (or computer), it took me a system of an equation with an inequality in 2 variables, using the fact that the solutions are integers, to solve it.

I would be very surprised (and excited) to meet an 8th grader (let alone a 6th) who could solve this problem without any external help the way I did. I would not expect an elementary school student to have this kind of algebra knowledge. Most elementary school students around here don’t even know what algebra is.

The last paragraph sums up pretty concisely why the actions taken by the museum are inappropriate: museums are not gatekeepers of culture, but stewards of culture.

They hold our shared cultural heritage as stewards in order to make sure we have access to our collective history.

Choice of language was a product of my environment. Trading systems I worked on at the time were in Java and people I had pleasure to work with were java experts. That said I have very little regrets. IDEs, debuggers, profilers, test framework makes it super easy to iterate. Java VM and JIT are state—of-art compared to anything else and assembly they produce is absolutely great. The only things I wish Java had is fast access to C libraries. On this project I miss SSE or AVX based string comparison.

It's unclear why as a matter of tax policy we want to discount taxes because risk is taken. If an investment results in a loss, that loss is permitted to offset gains elsewhere.
Speaking of lobotomies, most people think of it is a fairly major operation that requires hospitalization, but there were actually people doing them on an out patient basis. You could get your lobotomy and be on your way home an hour later, thanks to the development of the "transorbital lobotomy".

Here's part of a letter written in the mid-40s by Walter Freeman [1], a well-known lobotomist, describing this:

> I have also been trying out a sort of half-way stage between electroshock and prefrontal lobotomy [to treat mental patients]. … This consists of knocking them out with a shock and while they are under the ‘anesthetic’ thrusting an ice pick up between the eyeball and the eyelid through the roof of the orbit [the bony cavity that contains the eye] actually into the frontal lobe of the brain and making the lateral cut by swinging the thing from side to side. I have done two patients on both sides and another on one side without running into any complications, except a very black eye in one case. There may be trouble later on but it seemed fairly easy, although definitely a disagreeable thing to watch. It remains to be seen how these cases hold up, but so far they have shown considerable relief of their symptoms, and only some of the minor behavior difficulties that follow lobotomy. [That is, prefrontal lobotomy, which typically involved boring holes through the front of the skull. The ice pick operation is called a “transorbital lobotomy.”] They can even get up and go home within an hour or so. If this works out it will be a great advance for people who are too bad for shock but not bad enough for surgery.

That quote is mentioned in this classic The Straight Dope [2] column, which includes more info and cites if you want more on this disturbing topic.
