> While American resistors are usually labeled with colored bands, the Soviet resistors are green cylinders with their values printed on them.

Smart! The color band system has +ve and -ve, but overall I hate it. But better than caps with their 104 = 100,000 pf/nF?

I've known the US color band system since I was a kid, but damn the base color of the resistor epoxy has a huge impact, as does the low wattage high precision: you need a magnifier to read all 5 bands on a 4mm resistor.

Yes, I used to say that before I experienced it - but the system is built around workers that will work long continuous hours - you have to beg for the exception, and you take a pay hit - forget any thoughts of promotion - the glass ceiling women complain about. The attitude is oh yes we're being generous by letting you leave early - it shouldn't be that way, work should be planned around life.

Well, you're totally missing the point then. When we say people are flaming, we mean people are providing "feedback" in a characteristically rude way.

You'd think that basic human interaction dictates not being rude to eachother, but internet history says otherwise.

> because their new property -- even if it's smaller! -- will destroy them with higher property taxes.

Nope. Prop 13 allows transferring assessed value of the old house to the new house if it's in the same county. Even inter-county if the new county allows it. The assessed value is also preserved when the property is inherited by children and grandchildren. The number of carve-outs it has to favor incumbent landowners is pure insanity.[1]

Florida's upsides: No Sales Tax. If you're not looking for waterfront, housing is super affordable. Amazing place if you're single.

Florida's Downsides: Homeless are more aggressive than in SF. Florida Man. Frequently 10% sales tax in most places due to lack of income tax. Higher property taxes if you're in a really progressive area. You're swapping out earthquakes for hurricanes. A lot of "Keeping up with the Jones'" mentality here. Not a great place for tech.

Grew up in California, know a bunch of people from Texas.

I think even suburban California culture is much more similar to Texas culture than it is to SV culture.

It makes sense. There’s a lot of shared history: Central American cultural influence/heritage, long history of intense and local economic booms and busts (Oil in SoCal and Texas, gold in NorCal), fiercely independent political history. It’s produced an interesting mix of conservative and progressive ideas. The only thing that California has that’s unique on top of that base mindset is environmental conservatism; because California is jaw droppingly gorgeous and Texas isn’t.

Totally agree with the point others have made, that Texas is a lot more blue than its gerrymandered districts let on. Similarly, California is much more “red” outside of the urban bubbles. They’ve a lot more in common than cultural memes would lead you to believe.

You called the expectation of men to be breadwinners a natural consequence of sexual dimorphism, and said it was folly to "engineer" it away. That is a statement about how you think society should be arranged and why.

Also, if you believe _all_ arrangements of society will eventually fall, then wouldn't that make any arrangement acceptable to you? Including the one you were dismissing?
Short of some form of difficult manual labor, I've never experienced a workplace that doesn't allow a woman to pump.

This is certainly not going to be the norm.
> 2-3 kids, spaced 2 years, up to 3-4 years old = a career break of 5-8 years. That ought become social norm and be encouraged.

This is what a lot of wealthy people already do, because they can afford it due to one spouse's very high income, so the other spouse has a sort of vanity job (i.e. serving on the board of a charity).

But for the working and middle class, this is a bit of a pipe dream. Two people working are needed to pay the mortgage for the house that gets you the "good" public school.

Universal extended paid family leave and health care are a good way to encourage people to take time off to raise their young children. Many European countries do exactly that. I have friends in such countries who continued their academic careers part time while raising their children. It didn't hurt that they never worried about health care coverage for their families. It is a reason why European academics move back to their home countries after stints in the United States.

But things like that that will require raising taxes, and well, are we actually ready for that conversation?

Solving this by regressing to a society that discourages women from doing jobs outside the home is backward. Instead, change the system so that working parents have more freedom to make that choice to stay home with kids if they want to without imposing unreasonable struggle and risk upon their families, just like the wealthy have that option today.

They're practically the same if you swap the black and asian populations. This makes a lot of sense: Asian immigrant populations came from the west coast, usually SF. Black populations started in the southeast, and its much easier to migrate from Mississippi to Texas than Mississippi to San Francisco.

For many applications, Go has higher cognitive overhead than Haskell. Modulo learning Haskell of course, but still.

Probably. To vectorize effectively for wide SIMD architectures, you need to start with the right data-layout properties (struct of arrays, instead of array of structs), as well as vectorizing at the right level. The standard way people write code in C/C++ is simply not that great for doing this stuff automatically.

The difference is going to be a lot more minor if you use C/C++ code written with #pragma vectorize manually, and do these data transforms yourself in code. I know Intel has been pushing harder on "outer-loop vectorization," judging from the papers they've been putting out at PLDI and the like. But I still imagine that a dedicated SPMD programming language is going to have an edge over twisting C/C++ to that end, especially in terms of ergonomics, if nothing else.
Continuous integration tools still check out and test the whole repo. Google has used this approach for over a decade.
Yup. Back in the day, women in traditional housewife roles were major contributors to their household finances [1]. They used their own unpaid labor to transform raw materials into goods that saved their family from having to purchase them on the market. They also performed services that would have been prohibitive to hire out. But thanks to mass production and household appliances, household production doesn't contribute as much to household finances as it once did. 1950's suburbia was that awkward transition period before middle class families realized that they could have dual incomes--it was never going to last.

New State-of-the-Art Voice Cloning API Live on RapidAPI – A Step by Step Guide
Woman give birth, men cannot breastfeed. That are indeed biology. Kids being picked up from school predominately by woman is a social arrangement, the kind we hopefully at least try to change if we consider there to be better options.

But yes, many kinds of social arrangements come up naturally and woman taking care of house and kids seems to be one of them. Another one is "the powerful rule over the weak"... something we nowadays generally think should be kept in check to the benefit of society and thus spend effort doing so. But spending effort to keep pre-defined gender roles in check must be somehow bad?

I find this to be a really interesting perspective. "Big houses"? Who can afford a big house in CA? "Chaotic, cutthroat energy"? I grew up on the east coast and have found CA to be much more easygoing to the point that I don't think I could go back.

I do like my loose morals, though ;)

What exactly is sad? Studio is in EU, not US or Asia. There are strong labour protection laws in place. Nobody will be forced to do overtime for free. We have 8 hour work days with 40 hour max per week, 8 hour total overtime per week and 150 hours total overtime per year limit.

"Zgodnie z art. 131 Kodeksu pracy tygodniowy czas pracy łącznie z godzinami nadliczbowymi nie powinien przekroczyć przeciętnie 48 godzin w okresie rozliczeniowym.

Dodatkowo art. 151 § 3 określa, że limit godzin nadliczbowych na dany rok kalendarzowy nie powinien przekroczyć 150 godzin."

There are additional protections for parents of young children etc.
Yes I've observed that it's useful to have people like physicists or electrical engineers in a software development team, because they have a different perspective on things.
Physical stores also optimize for impulse purchases.
"hemorrhaging money and going out of business" seems a lot more palatable to me (good analogy: humans bleed to death, companies 'bleed' money to 'death').

It feels overly catastrophic to use the word when some people are moving out of a state. I thought America prides itself on "mobility".
I'd have to look it up to get more precise details but essentially back when BART was being built out originally they wanted to build through developed land (could've just been the underground rights). They were able to acquire everything except for one parcel. I'm hazy why eminent domain wasn't used (especially since it's been so wildly abused elsewhere in the country in the subsequent decades), but ultimately BART had to build around this property resulting in an absurdly tight curve. The store is gone but the wye remains as a bottleneck – BART trains have to slow to walking speed (ok ok about 18 mph) to go through it.

> If you search "flash drives" the product that has the Amazon's Choice badge is the product that is bought most often by customers using that search term.

It only vaguely verifies that it's in the same product category though. For the "1tb flash drive" search term, Amazon's Choice includes a 128GB flash drive, a 1TB HDD, a 2TB HDD, and a single 1TB flash drive.

It's broken down by price ranges... but it's like going to a car dealership, inquiring about a compact car, and being presented with a skateboard, a road bike, a mountain bike and a car.
The studies I've looked at for 1. aren't convincing. If you have any in mind and want to share, I might take a look, because I find the topic mildly interesting.

2. and 3. can be explained by structural issues, as I said.

It's not really a question of the distribution of capabilities in men and women today which interests me the most, but the potential malleability of those capabilities given the right social structures, because if there's a way to bring a larger fraction of the population into STEM work, we'll have a much more creative and prosperous society.

Well, for jurisdictions where dedication to the public domain is not possible, CC0 includes a fallback license. I suppose I could have used the words "public domain", and that would have made the intention clearer — so thank you for raising that point. However, if you are going to do a public domain dedication, you really should use CC0!

y, I wouldn't draw attention to your workload, I've seen people ask about mores tasks due to not having anything to do, only to find out the company has a low level of work/revenue available and this person was let go. Maybe see about changing teams or taking on a higher level position, be careful how you frame it. Typically managers are stacking tasks/assignments/deadlines so you're as busy as possible.
That sounds like incremental efficiency improvements, not something that will radically change people's lives. Not that that's not valuable and may help us keep economic growth going at reasonable clip but it doesn't seem like the type of thing that will change the character of most people's lives in the way that the Internet and smartphones have.
Most of California's rail is low speed and diesel powered. There's almost certainly a higher density of rail service in England, but electrified and/or high speed rail is fairly rare. The infrastructure was so poor around the reign of Thatcher that a lot of the notorious British innovation went into high speed service on low quality tracks.

It's all quite unfortunate as the Brits really had a chance to build out an amazing system (something California hasn't really had the interest in doing). The Underground is pretty great, DLR is at least as dirty and disgusting as BART, and the regional stuff… they don't call it Worst Western Railway for nothing. Electrification is coming at a snail's pace both to California and the UK.

There is something about California that really brings out the whining and hypocrisy in conservatives. They want to move there for the big bucks in tech, but they don't want to be a minority party/culture. CA has lots of problems, but when I hear "housing is too expensive, lots of homelessness and petty crime, AND it's so liberal that they just can't fix anything," I know the last one is the key. They complain about the NIMBYs who keep real-estate prices high (as if that were the only thing), complain that no one is building denser housing, then leave and move to sprawling suburbia with it's HOAs and de-facto segregated zoning. Go try to build a 4-plex in your new neighborhood, then get back to us.

Cue all the complaints about the entrenched residents in their Prop 13 homes or rent-controlled units, building permits and red tape nightmares. Yes, there is a problem. You not making it and having to move away (after moving there 2 or 3 years ago) is not the problem. Look at it this way, the system is working for 80-90% of the long-term residents, and they're aware of the hardships for the disadvantaged among them. Why should they go out of their way to accomodate conservatives who want to undermine their tax-and-spend heaven?

As for the Democrats who leave CA and vote Democrat elsewhere, why not? They didn't get in early enough on this wealth train (OK, jokes about CAHSR will be tolerated), so they're going somewhere else, and trying to get it started there. CA is defined by excess of liberal values, elswhere by lack, so they're just trying to bring some moderation. They won't be very successful, and I will tell them not to go whining about the conservative values in their new home, so there.

California just is. It's the world's 4th largest economy by itself. For good or ill, it's home to so many internet companies (and other industries) that have made so much money in the internet revolution that it has skewed its cost-of-living and real-estate markets off the charts. It has made many of its residents fabulously weathly, both in relative and absolute terms, and they want to stay and enjoy it mostly the way it is. In SF/SV, it has redefined middle-class at around 300K combined income, and that money (at least what's not dedicated to housing) drives a lot of other sectors (public transit, restaurants, and other quality-of-life businesses). Yeah, I know, all those have issues and/or are overpriced, no need to comment to say that. It also leans very liberal in the coastal cities, meaning tolerance, compassion, social justice, sanctuary, etc. It seems like they still have a democracy, and since they're still the majority, they get to keep experimenting. It's not going anywhere, and it's not going to change much, and certainly not because of the whining. Deal with it.
then you would have a problem different than the one being discussed.
Moisey, big fan of yours, always have been.

DO's board has been atrocious (not you and Ben). The way they handled bonuses even the years that we were growing 40+% because we missed #'s due to factors outside any employees control, was a joke. The hiring of Mark Templeton was one of the absolute worst things that could have happened, he damn near put DO on the brink of destruction.

That said, it seems like Yancey is doing all the right things. The internal DO culture has been coddled for way too long and has been way to top heavy, predominately due to the revolving door of engineering leadership. Since I joined, I've seen Julia, Greg, Dizzy, now Al w/ Barry... and that's been what like 3.5 years?

The Boards support of the current GC is also astonishing, he's been incredibly anti-people and has downright participated in discriminatory practices. I'd HIGHLY encourage DO to setup an ethics hotline, there's been a long-term lack of ability to report concerning behavior without fear of reprisal.

Also, in your previous comments, yes the profitability #'s look surprisingly good, but lets be honest with the community and talk about cash. It's easy to look profitable when you are capitalizing so much, and it's not a fair representation of company performance. While I admittedly don’t really have any transparency into our #’s, its been talked about internally plenty that we have a cash issue. (Although it’s never been indicated that it’s desperate, and for those reading the company isn’t in financial distress, although they’ve been subtly cutting a lot of benefits and doing things to save cash like reduce travel, cut meal benefits, etc).

I'm proud of Yancey and Bill. GC needs to go, period, demonstrate ’togetherness’ Yancey talked about by showing us that accountability applies to all levels. Head of people is doing her best, but we deserve someone that wasn’t a Mark hire that understands our industry, and CTO I'm on the fence about, he's not an inspiring leader.
