As there should be. Do you not like free markets?

>her regular clients may follow her

Good. Her value is not "doing hair" it's attracting clients (i.e. you can be very good at doing hair but have a personality that makes no one want to deal with you). That's what defines her market value that she's selling every day. If she finds a customer (i.e. company) willing to pay her a better rate for the value she provides (i.e. clients) then the rational thing for her to do is move her offering to that customer (i.e. company).

>the non-compete should be specific and fair

The existence of a non-compete is unfair. They only exist because of the power deficit between companies and workers.
Because the author of the article works for Apple, and it sounds like they discovered a compatibility regression in a particular piece of third-party software and assigned him (or her) the task of figuring out exactly why it was broken.

Microsoft is famous for hacking up their OS in order to keep quirky or poorly-written third-party software running on newer releases. I don't know if Apple would go quite that far, but it sounds like they care enough to spend expensive developer time investigating these problems.
>Children ought to be running around outside playing with other children and depending on nice-but-otherly (not pseudo-peer) adults to keep their world secure and stable and fix things when they cry.

My son is 20 months old. He started going to nursery 9 to 5 when he was 9 months. He spends plenty of time playing around with other children and be ensured that he enjoys those 3-4 hours he spends with both his parents at home. Small children need guidance and examples that only adults can give, not other toddlers.

I am not american and while I agree with you that the american culture is very retrograde by many counts (relationship with religion, early marriages, sexual puritanism... ) I don't see anything wrong with cutting some hours at work to spend more time with children. In fact, quite au contrair.
Yeah, that's true. But my environment is such that any one of 100 or so app servers has a significantly lower chance of running out of memory than the Redis server does.

The 0MQ high water mark is set high enough so that it's virtually impossible not to fix a broken DB by the time messages on the client side create an OOM condition being queued in memory.

Causation runs the other way. Mustache is a port of cTemplate. cTemplate has been around internally since the early 2000s (look at the author: it's Craig Silverstein, Google's employee #1) and was open-sourced in 2008, while Mustache is (c) 2009 and explicitly lists cTemplate as an influence.

Generalizing? Sure. Recklessly? I don't know. If you take your point literally, it's impossible to make any social observations at all. That can't be right. An observation needn't be true of everyone (you, for instance, or the OP) to have value.

As for "two completely separate issues", they're not completely separate. They're connected not by necessity but by a model of parenting that is common in our culture.

The Closure Templates project is much more interesting IMO.

http://code.google.com/closure/templates/

They can be used server-side on the JVM, or client-side (compiled on the server side). They're pretty fast.

I wish template engines would have URL sanitization functions built into them (that remove javascript: and other URI schemes). I thought Closure Templates might have when I saw escapeUri, but it doesn't. (The similar-sounding esc_url in WordPress does remove javascript: and other problematic URI schemes.) User-submitted URLs should be sanitized, but it wouldn't hurt to have another layer of security when they are, and it would help when they aren't. I blogged about this: http://benatkin.com/2011/09/16/safe-html-from-a-template/
They have the chrome web store, I suspect apps will go there too.

> A simple 1000x1000 matrix multiply in LuaJit is already 20x (not 2x!) faster than V8 and on par with C.

You are using outdated measurements. Up to date results:

http://attractivechaos.github.com/plb/plb-lang.png

http://attractivechaos.github.com/plb/

The difference between V8 and LuaJIT is nowhere near 2x on matmul and comes from differences in language features (no debugger interruption support for generated code in LuaJIT2) and lack of certain optimizations (e.g. array bounds check elimination) in V8 [matmul_v2.lua used for measurements relies on ffi arrays which do not include bounds checks at all]. Code generated by both compilers is roughly equivalent (invariants hosted out of the loop, temporary double values are on xmm registers, etc).

Present concurrency is 0, it's just slow. It's not SQLite unless there is pathological behavior because I've demoed ideas to HN traffic with SQLite before and it performed better than a vanilla MySQL deployment. (Not saying this is advisable, just that SQLite isn't at fault unless Trac is doing something stupid.)

Are you positive switching to the postgres backend will help when there's almost no concurrency and the slowness is persistent and deterministic?

Spanish numbers 1-10 | Tips to Learn them Quickly
I'm in the UK.

I spend as much time as possible with my children so that I can teach them that a 37 hour working week is actually normal and that they don't NEED to become an American-style 80-hour-a-week corporate slave.

Humans have needs: family, friendship and companionship.

"Work" is a relatively new thing; a product of the rapid growth of the population and the distribution of self-responsibility. Go back a couple of thousand years, and we were farming in family groups much like the Amish are today.

We're short-changing ourselves and missing out on a large chunk of life by not spending time with our closest ones.

>Yes, you are biased. Non profit means "not to make a profit", and that fits religious organizations quite well. None of them try to make a profit, therefor they are non-profit. It's not really that complicated.

Most religious organizations turn large profits. That they are used to build more churches, mosques, and temples does not detract from the fact that it's a profit.

>Except that they don't charge. Which of course does make them different.

Again, this is false. There isn't a cover charge, but there's an expectation of donation. It's no different from a tip. Waiters aren't non-profit, and neither are churches.

>You are biased because you (presumably) don't like what they do, but that's your opinion, and you should not assume everyone shares it.

A) I don't assume everyone shares it. B) I like a great deal of what many religious organizations do and have done, and dislike a great deal they do as well.

>And it's interesting you find the only organization in the world that claims to be a for-profit religion (Scientology) and use that to paint the rest of them. (Again barring fraud, which obviously does happen.)

This is patently false. From the Catholic Church, to Evangelical preachers, to most other organized religions, they all turn a profit.

>Your post sounds like you want to be the arbiter of which messages are for profit and which are not.

Message has nothing to do with turning a profit. That is determined by the money you take in minus the money you spend. I count money spent on growing the organization, through the building of additional churches and missionary works, as an investment in future profits, and hence not deductible from profits (to the extent it would make an organization a non-profit).

I've clearly stepped on your toes. I apologize for the offense I've caused, but not for the words that caused it, which I stand by.
Blackberry maker RIM profits fall sharply

His point isn't that spending too much time with children causes them to be spoiled.

People should spend every possible moment with their children. They should also spend every possible moment learning about the world, and every possible moment trying new experiences and getting out of their comfort zone. There aren't enough moments, so you need balance. Lack of balance in one direction is correlated with spoiled children. I think that's all he's saying.

(Personally I think it's hard to cause irreversible damage by spoiling children; it's amazing what they'll outgrow.)

Ah. I got it: belief in belief (thinking that faith by itself is a good thing, regardless of its truth), wishful thinking, rationalization, and social pressure. In other words, people believe things for reasons unrelated to their truths. That, we may want to address. Then, I suppose religious beliefs would just go away (you might want to keep the weekly meetings, though).

> [Religious dogma], if twisted enough, may qualify as neither true nor false.

That one I have a hard time with. Sure, we could imagine a situation where, say, Christianity is partially true (Jesus did resurrect), and partially false (virgin birth didn't happen); I assume however that you're not talking about that. Another possibility would be for religious beliefs to be incoherent enough to be "not even wrong"; that would be blocked by my bullshit filter all the same. Or we could muddy the very meaning of "truth"; that's plain cheating (and may corrupt your whole mind if you manage to convince yourself). Or, we could say that what is true for someone may be false for someone else; and that's plain false.

I can't think of any other twist, but my guess is, none would stand up to scrutiny.

From observing other people (I consider myself to be the least important person on the planet): It is usually the self that matters the most until you become part of a family. At that point:

Some people mature into people who put their family first.

None of them try to make a profit, therefor they are non-profit.

This is outright willful ignorance. There are plenty of religious organisations whose purpose is to line the leaders' pockets with money.

Then you conflate 'religious organisation' with 'religion', which are two separate things. Yes, "Christianity" is nominally a "non-profit religion", but there are plenty of christian religious organisations that have fleeced their flock.
Churches are exempt from many non-discrimination rules. They can exclude people who are not members of their faith, and may decide to kick someone out of the church should they divorce. The Salvation Army is anti-gay and actively lobbies against gay rights, as does the Mormon church.

If a company has the policy of not discriminating based on faith, creed, skin color, marital status, veteran status, etc. then it wouldn't be appropriate to support another organization which DOES so discriminate.

I have no idea if this is Google's reasoning, but it seems like perfectly ethical reasoning of why they may not want to extend non-profit discount to churches.

BTW, it isn't hard to set up a non-profit subsidiary. A church which wanted to could start one and use that to receive donations. There's some paperwork, but it isn't much - and most churches already have someone to manage their own paperwork. The new non-profit, of course, would be subject to non-discrimination laws.
This seems like a process they would have figured out way before now.
> I've clearly stepped on your toes. I apologize for the offense I've caused, but not for the words that caused it, which I stand by.

No, my toes are fine, and I am not offended. You are just wrong, which is a different thing entirely.

> but there's an expectation of donation. It's no different from a tip.

A tip is given in proportion to services rendered. A donation is not.

> I count money spent on growing the organization .... not deductible from profits

You might do that. No one else does. If you remove this clause then this:

> .... to most other organized religions, they all turn a profit.

Is no longer true as well (I assume you agree).

So lets talk about the clause. Growing the organization simply makes them more effective in spreading the message. But the message is the goal, not the money. In a for profit the money is the goal and is used for other purposes.

> as an investment in future profits

No, it's an investment is furthering the message.
By what sense of entitlement does the columnist expect preferential treatment by Google or anyone else merely due to the fact that you have a religious group?

By coupling charitable activities to religious activities you raise questions about your motives. Decouple them and your genuine charitable activities will be eligible.
Again, you're conflating things. "No more discounts for you, but please avail yourself of our regular services" is not some jackbooted thug forcing you to close.

It's an end to favourable special treatment, not an increased burden of restrictions.

> Yes, you are biased. Non profit means "not to make a profit", and that fits religious organizations quite well. None of them try to make a profit, therefor they are non-profit. It's not really that complicated.

Except that really isn't the case; most religions are non-profit only because you can specify quite interesting definitions for the word 'profit'.

As a case-in-point, look at the Mormon church. Mormon families are supposed to give a monthly donation of ten percent of their income to the church as 'tithing', which is tax-deductible, and of course the church is a 'non-profit'.

Church assets are estimated at over $30 billion USD, and they pull in about $5 billion annually. That's a lot of profit for a 'non-profit' organization.

This money pays for a lot of business-like activities. Salaries for high-level church officials, construction of buildings for church and public activities, global recruitment and proselytization operations, investment, lobbying activities, etc.

Some of it even makes it into humanitarian efforts, although that's part of the proselytization arm.

I've got no problem with any of this; as private citizens, they should be free to spend money however they want.

My problem is that these are all business activities. Nothing the church does is purely humanitarian; even their aid packages for disaster areas come with copies of the Book of Mormon, which I'd consider Sales and Marketing.

As such, they should pay taxes in the same way that a large corporation does.

Note that I'm not picking on the Mormons specifically; the Catholics, Methodists, Muslims, Jews, and pretty much every other major organized religion that I can think of do the same things.

Happy to learn if I'm missing something here.
