It's unfortunate that there are few women who would appreciate my progressive view of these, even if I would gladly pay double for a really nice vacation and a nominal ring instead (and let's face it, it's the actual decision that matters the most, anyway)

Frederick W. Smith: No Overnight Success
Start traveling now and then apply for work while you are abroad. Do freelance work while looking for employment to generate income to get you by while traveling. In some places, like S.E. Asia you can get by cheap enough that you may not have to do much work at all to stay even, depending on what your rates are, you truly could get by with a 4 hour work week. Freelancing is also great for generating leads which could turn into the sort of opportunity you are looking for.

Don't wait for the perfect situation. Start packing your bags and look for plane tickets today. My suggestion for a great place to start is the Philippines. You can buckle down in country for 16 months on a tourist visa before you need to do a visa run, English is an official language and flights to the surrounding countries are very cheap.

This is basically my story. I had plans on doing this, which I just kept pushing out farther and farther. I also barely had any savings, which is one of the reasons why I was pushing out my plans. Then one day my situation changed, I needed to find a new place to live and I received payment on a decent invoice. I really didn't want to find a new place to live in that city, so I used the invoice to buy a plane ticket, took care of the things I needed to take care of and left the country with just enough cash left over to take care of deposits for an apartment, utilities and probably less than a month (!) of regular expenses. As soon as I got into my apartment I went right to work and built up a bit of a cushion. I probably would never have made the jump if I didn't force myself to buy that ticket.

ETA: As a freelancer with a freelancer mindset, I never view any offer as true employment. With every long term gig I give myself a general milestone to achieve and then it's time to move on. I usually get a few offers for full time remote work every year without actively looking and then I uncover a few more with minimal ground work.If I set myself to seriously look then I would find a lot more. That's with agencies which do client work and the occasional start-up. So, the work is out there, you just have to plant the seeds.

I don't think that's a meaningful number. As I said, investors have plenty of reasons to value the equity at a higher level than an employee.

What a quaint and gross way of looking at the world.
Wait, so what exactly is the situation that's at issue here? We upgraded yesterday, too, and have both scopes and class methods that we append onto has_many/belongs_to relations, but haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary. Now I'm terrified we have some unexpected behavior lurking somewhere that's not tested or something.

> In this case, when using the scope method to define an Arel scope on Organization, the where clause of the scope is overriding the condition imposed by the Organization#teams association. The part of the WHERE clause meant to restrict the query to Team records related to the Acme organization was dropped.

This doesn't happen in all cases -- all the cases where I've done this appears to be fine. And a scope just blowing away an association in all cases would be too obvious to not be caught.

Is it because both the scope and the relation select by the same attribute? Does that attribute have to be `id` for this bug to occur?

Or does it have to do with the fact that they're nesting a query within the where clause to determine the IDs? (I don't see why this would matter).

I guess I'm off to a REPL unless anyone here knows more concretely what the issue is.

EDIT TO ADD:

I can't reproduce this behavior. I just spun up a new Rails 3.2.13 app, and created those two models. Going through what they do in the console, my results differ on the potentially dangerous part:

1.9.3-p0 :015 > teams = acme.teams.using_octocats_scope
Team Load (0.3ms) SELECT "teams".* FROM "teams"
WHERE "teams"."organization_id" = 2
AND "teams"."organization_id" IN
(SELECT id FROM "organizations"
WHERE "organizations"."has_octocats" = 't')
=> []

I do get an empty array, as is supposed to be the case. I notice that my nested select remains a SQL statement, rather than being evaluated to '(1)' as in their example.

So... I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if GitHub has other code / configuration settings interacting strangely here.

Can anyone else reproduce?

EDIT AGAIN:

Here are the four files you need to reproduce yourself. https://gist.github.com/losvedir/5202121

ONE MORE EDIT:

There's a repo with my history in the console. Dunno why I'm seeing the behavior I am.

If there is one thing computers are in fact bad at, it is understanding intentions, an ORM in many cases is a translation of an intention from one level to another.

In my experience lovingly hand-crafted SQL for your application does not take as long as you think it will and does not subject you to the interpretations of an intermediary. ORMs are useful but there is something to be said for writing the SQL you want to do what you want with a database.

Adoption is a great option for many couples, educated or not. I didn't say otherwise. What I said was that it's not a fully equivalent to having your own kids. Not worse, but not equivalent. If you're educated, high-IQ tiger parents and want to raise highly successful children, statistically you're better off having your own kids than adopting. This is not to say that adopted kids can't be successful or anything like that. But IQ is heritable, and the simple fact is that there aren't a lot of high IQ couples giving their kids up for adoption.

Susan Sontag wrote a famous essay in 1966 about this: "Against Interpretation" [1], arguing exactly the same thing as OP's link does:

>Sontag is strongly averse to what she considers to be contemporary interpretation, that is, an overabundance of importance placed upon the content or meaning of an artwork rather than being keenly alert to the sensuous aspects of a given work and developing a descriptive vocabulary for how it appears and how it does whatever it does.

and

>Sontag asserts that the modern style is quite harmful; to art and to audiences alike, enforcing hermeneutics- fallacious, complicated “readings” that seem to engulf an artwork, to the extent that analysis of content begins to degrade, to destroy. Reverting back to a more primitive and sensual, almost magical experience of art is what Sontag desires

If there has been no JavaScript activity from a user who makes a transaction on your site, that is a fraud signal in its own right.

In both cases you set the user ID in the call to Sift.)

85% dollar-wise, or 85% of items purchased? Because I would argue that men tend to make fewer, but more expensive purchases, eg big tv, high end stereo, etc. I would still believe that things are skewed a bit since married women tend to make more of the purchasing decisions than their husbands (from what i understand), but 85% seems awfully high to me.

>Women want diamonds not because of any symbolic reasons ("Diamonds are forever!") but because of reasons that are much more practical: they want to be able to show off the diamonds to their group of (female) and boost their social status among them.

I suspect that the demand for diamonds for both men and women has way less to do with that kind of forward thinking (or subconscious status weighing), and way more to do with what an incredibly expensive marketing juggernaut has hammered into their heads since they were children. A lot is made of status games and seeking evolutionarily fit mates, but it seems to me that "advertising works" is a perfectly adequate solution.

For a somewhat analogous perspective, consider soft drinks. Do people buy Coca-Cola rather than a cheaper store brand because they want to signal their high status? No, they buy it because a ton of money has been spent convincing them that it's superior. And sure, some of them really would prefer Coke in a vacuum. But it's almost certain that a very significant chunk would be either indifferent, or prefer the generic brand in a world without advertising.
Briefly, no. You can read more about on our site (it's mentioned at the end of the article), but: we (try to) survey a representative sample of people in the US, and external validations have found we do a pretty good job of it (comparable to a more reputable polling organization).

Nobody does. Now why is that?

Friedman understood perfectly well that failure to increase the money supply in response to decreasing velocity was responsible for the Great Depression. He's sort of famous for that part, if I understand economic history correctly, it's why Bernanke apologized to Friedman's memory on behalf of the Fed. It seems odd to call them 'Friedman coins' when they depreciate automatically, but don't adjust to velocity and especially to changes in fractional reserve lending.
You absolutely nailed it with this comment. Was reading pieces of the debate out loud to my girlfriend, who is rather rational and intelligent but for some reason still wants a diamond ring (and I couldn't really figure out why) - when I read this and looked over, I knew you got it 100% right. Well done.
Great analysis... so would you say this is generalizable to region coding issues? Because first-sale doctrine should protect my ability to buy a DVD in China and use it/sell it in the US. Would region-free players also be protected?

HN, meet Pricescope: http://www.pricescope.com/forum/
you still haven't explained how to suppress Monsanto's political speech while preserving that of the New York Times.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. I'm not talking about suppressing corporations' political speech specifically. I'm talking generally about corporations not being able to use company money for purposes not agreed to by a majority of shareholders. A corporation like NYT (or CU, for that matter), which is organized specifically for the purpose of publishing speech, is in a different position in that regard from a corporation which is organized to sell people crop seeds.

The idea that a corporation must be organized for an "express purpose," declared in advance, that will determine that corporation's rights relative to others, is troublesome to put it mildly. A government that enforces things like that WILL enforce things that you and I don't like as well.

The government is what gives corporations their legal privileges in the first place. Without the government, a corporation is just a bunch of people. It's government that allows corporations to shield their shareholders and officers from personal liability, take advantage of tax deductions for business expenses, etc.

I should make clear, btw, that I am not advocating removing all the aspects of corporations as legal persons. There are a lot of aspects of that that are very useful; for example, allowing corporations to enter into contracts and other legal agreements. I just don't think that automatically means that corporations must have all the aspects of legal persons, which is the underlying assumption behind the claim that corporations somehow automatically have free speech and other rights simply because they're legal persons.
Good points. I felt that his comment implied he didn't like the salespeople because they were salespeople, which does say something about how much he respects sales as a profession. However, on re-reading the original I see that he might have meant just that he didn't like those particular salespeople.

I think my point still stands though. If you have a secret contempt for salespeople, don't start a business.

You would only need to unit test the programmer written ORM code against a seeded database to be sure you are getting just the data you expected.

You probably wont catch new issues with the ORM (which you should not be testing) but you will ensure you wont put this bug back into production.
