I like this solution. It saves a whole bunch of rework. And it forces the person who wants the change (especially after a design review was approved)to put up.
And about 10 articles debunking it. Pittsburgh's air quality is roughly on par with the bay area. Granted, it ain't great but compared to where else Google is based? shrug

ex: https://weather.com/news/news/2019-04-24-most-air-polluted-c...

Balance this against a growing tech scene (Fintech, robotics, self driving, all sorts of interesting stuff. No VC money but there are orgs like PNC's Numo and CMU investing), a great food scene (Walters makes bang'n brisket but Spork is the best place to eat in the city), pretty good cultural events (the ballet is probably my favorite), easy access to NY/DC/etc, and an excellent cost of living (my 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath was 160k and has appreciated 25k in 2 years).

Clarion coke works to the southeast is absolutely an air pollution quagmire but it has little to no impact on the city (except potentially the extreme east side). Biggest downside is we're stuck in Pennsylvania.

To the Googler's point, Google's office is located in Bakery Square. This is directly next to Penn Avenue which is a major thoroughfare. If you spent most of your time next to bumper to bumper traffic it'd be likely you'd have a poor opinion of Pittsburgh's air quality even though it's entirely unrepresentative of the city as a whole.
Maybe I don't understand what you're saying but it sounds like you're implying a homeostatic mechanism prevents capital from being withdrawn from coal.

If no company or sector could decline due to declining profits, then nothing in the economy would work at all.

Being able to stay at home is a privilege. My brother, my dad and some of my friends took a few years off to stay at home when the mother worked, I don't see how being able to do that is not a privilege, all of them did it because they wanted to and liked it.

However all of them experienced a lot of sexism from being a stay at home dad. So an alternative explanation to the skew between men and women at work could be that men face so much sexism at home so they have no other option than to just slave away for 40 years. The people I know were lucky to have a progressive wife with a high paying career and enough mental fortitude to shrug off the constant verbal jabs at you, most men are not that lucky.
> Non-working mothers is a modern anomaly.

Working mothers is a modern anomaly.

Prior to industrialization, most women were home-makers.

And home-making was no slacking off either. Managing expenses, food (storage & cooking), raising children (feeding, teaching, playing), social bonding (neighbors, communities) etc. It kept their hands full.
White people didn't leave cities because of the threat of nuclear attacks, they left because there was an incredible amount of racial unrest, violence, and rioting. There is a lot of research on the issue [0].

Climate change is a much larger threat to anyone under 30 than nuclear annihilation is, and the balance of evidence we have says that urban lifestyles (car free/car light, living in a multi family home) has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional suburban living.

This is a very feminized view of child rearing. Fatherhood's traditional gender role in raising children is to provide resources and protection. If you don't recognize that as "parenting" then you are missing the plot. Hugs are great, but not nearly as great as food and shelter.
> It often feels like newcomers and zealots preaching the unsafe issue, too.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. This is true for so many topics.
This is a real problem, and a real concern IMO. People move from their home cities and states to nice areas with low tax, then continue voting for the same policies and ideologies that led to their home becoming awful in the first place. I live in a rather conservative area that sees an influx of New Yorkers every single year. They all seem to complain about two things: the high taxes they left, and Republicans. I'd laugh if it weren't so mindnumbingly sad.

Reminds me of the saying, something like "if it smells like sh*t everywhere you go, maybe it's time to check your own shoes."

Not that hard to understand.

Some people don't or can't have anything other then work in their lives. Some people have home lives that are so terrible that working is a better option. Some people can't afford to do anything with it anyways. And some people just need to work; otherwise they die, either by suicide or just lost motivation to care about themselves.

If you still can't understand, then I would urge you not to try. Trust me when I say, it's better not to understand why in this case.

Strong disagree, the solution to affordable housing includes a very large amount of private/free market housing, but the free market won't really address the needs of people below 30% of the median income. Additionally, good affordable housing is one of the best anti poverty tools that we have. IMO the long term solution is robust private market housing construction for the middle class, and a robust public housing construction system for those who truly need it.
There is nothing in the making. Some government moron came up with this nonsense 30 years ago and now they just can't move past this stupid, self-defeating idea.
It would be stunning if they were changing all their indexes to exclude coal or something.

They're just creating some new/modified indexes as far as I know. There are already more ETFs than individual stocks, I remember reading somewhere.
We know they were. But it is irrelevant. Firefox was a better product than Internet Explorer and it clawed market share away from IE mainly because techies at the time were telling everyone to use Firefox instead of IE.

The fact that Microsoft was engaging in Anti-competitive practices actually proves my point. That despite all their meddling they started losing the browser war because Firefox was a better product at the time.

For the women I know, working at a sausagefest like comp/sci or engineering can be really unpleasant, and I'm sure it sucks 10x for women who believe they have to work STEM in order to gain the autonomy they need. My sister lived two years in an all male house with two male landlords and she almost lost her damn mind: the landlords kept trying to set her up with her creepy neighbor, who himself was trading sexual favors with the landlords in order to get out of cleaning, which my sister did more than anybody. The landlords were always giving special treats and priveleges to "their boys", even the ones who didnt pay rent on time. Obviously, #notallmen, obviously. It is unsurprising to me that the biggest female STEM recruitment is happening in places where women have no other way to get the autonomy they need.

When we had just one kid, the math of my wife working or not worked out to basically what you found. If she was feeling engaged in what she was doing, we probably would have found someone to watch our daughter. But she wasn't really, so she stayed home.

Then we had twins.

There is a daycare just down the street that we looked into just for shits and giggles. A mere $550 / week if we wanted all three there full time.

That's a real big "hell no".

> 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.

No it isn't. It is a statement of what I believe to be the truth. All the evidence and arguments around the topic I have seen and heard seem to lead in that direction. If you disagree with that conclusion that is fine.

However it doesn't mean that I believe that things should arranged in such a manner.

> 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?

I don't know. I wasn't saying anything about that. I was simply disagree that it is sexism. I don't buy into this the notion of "unconscious sexism".
I would say it’s your own bias which is informing your opinion. California has only gotten more “progressive” with each election.

If that makes you happy, I hope you understand that it’s “progressive” policy which has caused crime to explode, housing prices to rise, and people to leave the state.
I don't think it has as much to do with the government being populated by luddites as it does with having the government being populated by people who want more power.

They're clearly not arguing from the perspective that their solution is the most technologically feasible. They're arguing very clearly that they don't have the power they "need" to do their jobs. It's that simple.
That doesn't justify that sort of systematic pressure. An African American is much more likely to be a [edit: convicted] murderer than a white American, but that doesn't make it ok to cross the road whenever you see one.

But a majority of women do fit into that category, so if you want to have more women in professional positions, their needs will necessarily dominate the conversation.
Uninformed skepticism worth no more than the effort that was put into it.
I think about this a lot as well. My wife and I decided to have our first child at 30, which is fairly early compared to our peers. Economically it would have been better to wait, we’ve each had career opportunities we couldn’t take advantage of because of having children, and if somehow we could have waited until 40 I think we would have had an easier time economically.

But, physically and emotionally, I wish we could have had kids at 22 or so. Of course we hadn’t even met so this is pure wishful thinking. But still. Raising a family is a real joy, but it’s also very physically demanding (even for men), and the younger you are the easier the physical aspect is. Also, we know a small number of people who had children very young, and now in their 40s their children are grown. It’s a really fascinating relationship, with somewhat more ability to relate to each other and a really cool ability to live life together. Especially when this is across generations, it’s amazing to have an extended family with three generations not just alive but still well.

I have no idea how society could ever adjust to make something like that work out - I think it might be easier to “fix fertility” to give more people the option of starting a family in their 40s. But still, I wonder about it often.
You are offering a solution to something that is not a problem, and you should probably question why you think that / where this ideology is coming from.

You need resources and work to care for your family. The fact that in some cases you are 'paid' (i.e. you have to trade labor) is completely irrelevant. Beaver families are not paid by anyone to care for their home and family.

You could, and can, completely trade out your labor such that you 'care' for your family by being a couple of lawyers completely outsourcing the work of raising your own kids to strangers. At which point I think you've failed as a civilized society. You're only acting as economic agents maximizing profit, and your country is not a country anymore, but an economy. I think America is already at this stage, and that's not a good thing.

Agree with all your points here. I find the old-fashioned BBS-style system at my company extremely useful. Needs email notifications (we have the option for immediate or batched). Being able to reply by email is a plus (ours does not have this)--helpful with getting people to use the forum instead of just email.
I disagree. This looks entirely achievable if existing trends continue.

I disagree with the poster you are replying to, but I also disagree with what seem to be the implications of you comment -- that someone who prefers performing childcare over STEM work is a "lesser being"?
> But that doesn't excuse the people giving that feedback for being rude.

From what I can tell reading the salvaged conversations, that feedback wasn't rude (IMO) up until the maintainer called the outside patch "boring" (which, IMO, was rude). Even after that, the "rudeness" was pretty mild.

The entirety of this drama seems to have been self-inflicted. Blaming "reddit" for the author/maintainer being unable to handle criticism or PRs doesn't exactly change that.

For sure - Australian politics at all levels has long been deeply corrupted by the mining & real estate industries. In that respect we're probably not very different from many other semi-democracies.

I went through something that rhymes with what you went through. My wife got in USC and I found a job in Irivine. We moved here and things were okay for a while, about 2 years, and then the job was gone. That was a very stressful 4 months. We stuck it out, I commuted to Santa Monica from Irvine everyday ( 6 hour commute by train). Then I eventually found the gig I am at now and have been for the past two years. We go back every Christmas and 4th of July to visit our family's but I have to say everytime I land back at SNA I feel so much relief I am back in CA.

Just my two cents.
I think they probably mean no income tax.
If Sonoma alone (or along with other small voting blocs) is bearing the brunt of state policy it may not feel in their power to change.
Yes, but people are talking about a decision about active funds, not indexes where most of the money is.

It would be earthshaking if they decided to substitute their judgment for the market and take coal stocks out of all the index funds. But that's not what is being reported.

The reporting seems to be kind of willfully implying a connection that isn't there to get clicks, which I guess is basically all journalism these days.
What’s wrong with never wanting to move? Out of homes people paid off after 30 years of mortgage? Why should we promote the notion that tax paying citizens should become transients due to tax burden?

So tax the descendents. Property rights are one of the reasons why this country was founded..primary homes need to be protected from predatory taxes and redistribution of wealth.

Interestingly, that’s how I started coding and I’m still young(ish).

Borrowed a book from the library as a pre teen and followed along using notepad on my dad’s computer.

I didn’t see syntax highlighting or autocomplete until I was much older. So I can see why some people nowadays aren’t concerned as much with things like indentation. Syntax highlighting adds another dimension of legibility. I couldn’t imagine coding a website even just in plain old html without good indentation if there was no syntax highlighting.
No. The seniors paid for subsequent generations of public schools. Even when their children were all grown up and no longer in the school system.

It’s time for those kids who were educated with public funds and tax money to pay back. Not ask for more money from retired seniors.

So fix the university system. Don’t ask retired people to shoulder the burden of grown ass employed and able bodied younger generation and their children.
This isn't specific to code comments, but one soft skill that everyone should learn is how to have conversations with high stakes. The code changes might not be high stakes, but having a good relationship with your peer is very high stakes.

I recommend a book called "Crucial Conversations". You can find it on Amazon. It's a fantastic book about how to recognize that you're making "The Fool's Choice" (their words)... and how to get out of it.

To apply the book to your case, you've boxed yourself into two options (I.e., The Fool's Choice): 1) I can argue with this person and could have an unfavorable outcome, or 2) give in and just do what they want. This is actually a false dichotomy -- there are other options! One of the possible options is to turn that choice into a question by turning them into an AND option instead of OR options. In other words, instead of asking yourself "Should I make the code change OR make them hate me?" you should ask: "How can I nudge them toward my way of thinking AND _not piss them off_?" This alters your frame of mind, and you would approach the conversation much differently than you would before.

Anyway, that's the gist of it. The book is fantastic, though, and I recommend you read it. It's a pretty easy read.

Good luck!

When I was an engineering manager at one tech company 6 years ago, I fought like hell to get a woman who had a CS Ph.D. to join my team, and I somehow pulled that off. Her husband also had a CS degree (B.S. or M.S., not recall which) and worked for another tech company.

Every time there was a contractor that they needed to have someone at the house for, or every time their kid got sick and/or couldn't go to school, guess which of the two of them always took the time off work to handle it?

Now I had no insight into their family dynamics, and it felt it wasn't my place to pry. But over dozens of "time off" incidents through several years, it was very clear to me that my female employee was the "default caretaker" for anything relating to the house or the child that came up. This was despite the fact that she had a higher-paying position than what he had (based on what I can now see on levels.fyi).
>How many times have you heard a man say he had to choose between his career and having kids?

I agree with your sentiment, but there's a big biological difference here in terms of the fertility age. As discussed in the article, this question is very urgent for women in their 30s, but men can delay reproduction until their late 40s with no major issues. As such, men don't face an ultimatum on this, the way that women do.
