I imagine the theory is unless the CEO owns 100% percent of his company it's not his company. He's engaged in unauthorized practice of law and screwing over his investors since he has no idea how to practice law. There's also the fact that lawyers have background checks before getting a law license, and if a CEO could practice law without a license it would potentially be a big loophole for fraudsters and other known criminals who commit fraud to be able to practice law.
Contra:

> The first, preferred by Fowler, is that the presence of an exception applying to a specific case establishes ("proves") that a general rule exists. A more explicit phrasing might be "the exception that proves the existence of the rule".[1]

Or perhaps:

> The phrase means that an extreme case is a poor basis for a general law that would cover a wider range of less extreme cases. In other words, a general law is better drafted for the average circumstance as this will be more common.[1]

Further it can be argued that the fact that a defect is present in the biological system does not invalidate the presence of said system generally. The complete lack of a system could be the determining factor.

It's an obvious ruse
Prostitutes are paid a lot since the number of men who are interested in casual sex is a lot more than the number of women. Then the pay goes up so much that many women who aren't originally interested in casual sex also starts to engage in it, just because men value it so much. So one way to reduce the number of "victims" would be to put a max cap on how much you are allowed to pay prostitutes, that way women wouldn't do it as an easy way to earn money. Because paying women too much for sex hurts them apparently.
Assuming that unions are actually bad for the economy at face value

Is union is doing wonders for the officers and teachers the actual workers ? Making sure their rights and preferences are catered to ? Then the union is doing it's bloody job.

If you are an employee at big co that is abusive or exploitative earning minimum wage then the government has already abandoned you . Should you then see the wider societal implications and scarifice your needs for greater good or actually say fuck that and unionize and try improve your quality of life and not have to pee in a bottle during work,(Amazon) or catch COVID-19 and die cause your company doesnt care (meat packing)?

Even if it is bad for the economy/society unions still have been good for the actual workers as a group. We still have lot of work related deaths, long term issues and basic hygiene requirements missing, you absolutely need unions.

The competition is not with low paying jobs in cheaper areas of US or cheaper countries like mexico or china. It is with automation and robots, you can't compete with that. Without strong worker representation employees of unskilled workforces like Amazon are going to face worsening conditions in the future as they are made to compete with automation
There is no difference between mobile and land line numbers in North America. There's no national "mobile only" prefix (like in many EU countries), and no "your number changes if you move to a new location": phone numbers are owned by carriers, and you get whatever number your local carrier branch was allocated (which will have the local area code). That's it, the idea that "area codes" are actually location indicators is basically an anachronism from the land line days.

If someone has a mobile phone, which is everyone, and that phone has a Toronto number because they bought the phone plan when they lived in Toronto, then they move to Vancouver, they get to keep their number as long as they stay with their carrier. If you then look at that number and go "the area code is Toronto, 8am is an acceptable time to call that number", now you're calling someone at 5am.

Area codes in North America, by and large, only tells you which city the carrier's branch was located when the phone plan got set up. Canada and the US are huge countries made of mostly empty space with pockets of life spaced far, far apart, and people move from pocket to pocket all the time.

Ask HN: Desktop Application – how does your team develop it?
I am curious how desktop application development done out there, especially those with relatively large amount of intertwining features. I'm looking for insight from experienced developers in HN about it. Complex desktop application in this context can be anything: Slack, Figma, Spotify, Word processors, CAD software (SketchUp, AutoCAD), 3D software (Blender, Maya), Digital Audio Workstation (Cubase, Ableton), Browsers, Video Games (especially those with custom a game engine) and Game Engines, etc.

Here are the questions that I have about those, but if you have more anything that comes to your mind other than what are asked by the questions, please do share.

- How big is your team?

- What are the essential roles need to be in the team?

- From feature inception to release, how long does a feature takes? What are the process needed along the way?

- How does your team prevent regressions?

- How does your team share knowledge effectively?

- What is the testing strategy?

- What are the methods and tools used to design the application architecture?

- Absolutely, anything else that comes to your mind.

Thanks!
I wonder how much day to day violence would be reduced if prostitution was normalized. How much violence is a result of internalized sexual frustration without an outlet.

Are they just hoping every builder will settle out of court?
Last I worked with Nim, the most frustrating aspects of it were how it implemented tuples and multi-threading.

Tuples are really more akin to records, which name their fields. Because of that, I found many things quite difficult to do since I couldn't just return and work with a generic tuple type; read: (int, string) doesn't equal (int, string) because one is forced to name the elements and magically know the names of elements as well from returned tuples.

And multi-threading was just a mishmash of ideas, none seemed "blessed" or really 1.0 worthy (as of 1.0).

Those two issues aside, I really liked Nim when I tried it. Maybe the issues above aren't issues any more and I should take another look?
Aside from the many interesting answers in this thread, one thing that struck me when I visited was someone telling me that the terrain was more mountainous than some of the countries to the north, making the plantation economy that the Spanish installed less profitable, so you didn't have as much of the aristocracy/serf divide. This tends to lead to healthier political systems...
FWIW that comment reads like a significant endorsement of TeXmacs to me. The comments about conversion sound more like practical concerns rather than pointing fingers and blaming. They're clear on their opinion of LaTeX as a horrible mess, so it's unlikely they're going to disagree with your assessment in the last paragraph.

I understand that it can be frustrating when something you've worked hard on gets (seemingly) inaccurately portrayed, but I think you comment takes an unnecessarily defensive and passive aggressive tone against what's largely a supportive comment. (I'm assuming you're the creator/major developer of TeXmacs, based on other comments in the thread about naming choice.)

Multiplying Matrices Without Multiplying
"Multiplying matrices is among the most fundamental and compute-intensive operations in machine learning. Consequently, there has been significant work on efficiently approximating matrix multiplies. We introduce a learning-based algorithm for this task that greatly outperforms existing methods. Experiments using hundreds of matrices from diverse domains show that it often runs 100× faster than exact matrix products and 10× faster than current approximate methods. In the common case that one matrix is known ahead of time, our method also has the interesting property that it requires zero multiply-adds. These results suggest that a mixture of hashing, averaging, and byte shuffling−the core operations of our method−could be a more promising building block for machine learning than the sparsified, factorized, and/or scalar quantized matrix products that have recently been the focus of substantial research and hardware investment."

I mean, take a look at how the non-voucher system works in SF. Lottery system and if you end up with a crappy school, you either put your kid in a private school or try and game the system to get them switched. The parents who are poor don’t have the bandwidth or knowledge to do it so they just get stuck with whatever school. So you end up with the same problem. Crappy schools have kids of parents who don’t value education or parents who don’t have an option.

At least with vouchers the parents, rich or poor have a choice where their kids go.
The donation is newsworthy in the sense that Buffett is donating ~2,000 lifetimes of income (for a US citizen) to various organizations.

The resignation is newsworthy because it suggests Buffett's transition into full retirement. As someone who can move markets with a quote in a newspaper, his potential retirement is certainly important enough to hit the "publish" button on a digital outlet.
I did not attend a high school, because I went to school in Germany. But in Gymnasium, a rough equivalent to the American high school, we had two compulsory foreign languages. The first one was English, the second one was chosen by you. It was a rare exception that we focused on learning vocabulary. In my first ever English lesson, the teacher entered the room and said "Good morning, my name is Mr. Fleischer." in English. We were shocked, since neither of us did understand a single word. For the first month I wasn't even sure he could speak German at all. Until my graduation, everything, even administrative stuff, jokes, or complaints about homework had to be said in English in English class. It was similar in French class. That is far from "just memorizing lists of data that they forget a month later". Perhaps, the quality of teaching should be improved.

Btw, one of my English teachers, taught us also in Chemistry and did that in English for a year. That was 25 years ago.
That's an interesting idea, although I suspect for it to be effective you have to make it self-destruct the data if a wrong cable is inserted. Otherwise they'll plug the cable in, see it's not working, and send it off to a forensics lab to "fix" the phone at which point they'll discover your modification and revert it.

Based on the teardown photos[1][2], it doesn't look like there's much space to work with here, so getting any sort of modification in there would be non-trivial.

More automation. Menial jobs still need to get done.
Every year, 3.7 million Dutch visit the Mediterranean. Even if you had sleeper trains with 500 beds (the current ones seem to have around 200), you'd need a staggering 7400 trips (and another 7400 back) for just the Dutch population. Since most people leave within a period of 3 weeks, that's one every 5 minutes. Totally infeasible, I'm afraid.

This is out of date. Working conditions are also better in Germany, and could stand to keep improving.

EDIT: here are some recent improvements in Germany according to the wiki: The Criminal Code was amended in October 2016 to criminalise clients of trafficked or coerced prostitutes. This change was led by Social Democrat Eva Högl.

The Prostituiertenschutzgesetz (Prostitutes Protection Act) came into force in July 2017. Amongst the provision of the Act are registration of prostitutes, annual health checks and mandatory condom use. Brothel operators also need to register and prove their 'good conduct' before registration. The legislation also places restrictions on advertising. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Germany#Legal_...

As patrons stick with the well-regulated outlets, they won't fund the competing mob-controlled ones, and trafficking will slow. The conditions were just too easy to exploit at the outset.

Yes the deadlock phase is front of mind for me right now because I’ve been in it for a couple of weeks.

But you’re right that the “neglect phase” accounts for the vast majority of time. And when I’m in that, I forget all about the existence of the “deadlock phase” even though I’ll be hurtling towards another one.

Good to know that this self-destructive behaviour is common at least :)

Society expects sexuality to operate under the cover of euphemisms and metanyms. This is why people talk about "making love" and "sleeping with someone" when they actually mean fucking. It's also why love movies are considered wholesome in a way that pornography is not. For sex to be acceptable, it has to be hidden under a layer of social niceties and be hinted at only indirectly. The problem with sex workers is they're too direct. They force us to confront the bodily appetites that are already there. People can't handle that.

Better than the current “sunk cost mentality” of public schools where poor schools have more money thrown at them until someone finally realizes its not a money issue.

It’s literally the opposite of efficient use of funds. You want to shift more money to the better run schools not the worst run schools.
