Love this metaphor.
I've long felt that thin layers between SQL and applications are superior to ORMs. MyBatis and jOOQ are great examples of this, as is Python's basic dbapi (PEP 249). But Uncle Bob hits the most important point here, that the application is not the data. Yes, you need some kind of gateway to put data over there or to fetch data from over there, but that interface should not be what drives your application. If you practice Domain Driven Design (DDD) then your application is composed of objects that represent the real world activities that the application engages in. The data is incidental. I still think it pays off to carefully structure your data in your RDBMS or NoSQL datastore because it is likely to be SHARED with many applications, but that structuring is a separate thing from the applications which use and update the data.
My Startup: Betalize - You Test, We Pay
I understand where you're coming from, but I've had over a decade of experience owning and managing both personal and rental real estate so I wanted to chime in.

> They were right if you ever want to have a family.

Not entirely. "Ever" is a really strong word. If you want to have a family later in life, that should not prevent you from living in places you'd like to experience. You will likely regret being so cautious at the exact time in your life when you had the least reason to be so.

> You are building no equity in rent

If you are saving a dramatic amount of money per month and putting that money away in savings or another investment vehicle, then I would argue that you very much are. People underestimate how little "equity" they actually build up when they didn't happen to buy before or early in a real estate bubble. In reality, the closing costs of acquiring the property, maintenance, insurance, and property taxes, and the (optional but likely) 6% sales commission the realtor takes when you decide to sell all add up and chip away at effective equity. True, equity will eventually outpace these costs, but the time that takes is a function of how well the market is doing and other externalities.

There's also a cost of liquidity. $10,000 sitting in a bank account at 0.1% is arguably worth more than $10,000 of equity in a house that might take 3 months to sell.

All of this means that unless you know you're going to buy a place and stay put for a while, you'd probably be better taking the cost difference and building "liquid equity" that you can use later.

> so you will essentially have to leave and start over somewhere else to have kids.

True, but that may be a complete non-problem depending on your disposition. Personally, I don't get attached to places. They're just boxes with soft places to sleep. Relationships make it a home. In my case, in the unlikely event I decided to start a family, I could buy a house relatively close to the apartment I live in now (if I so desired). I wouldn't call that starting over. By the way, I'd be able to buy that house because I was able to save a metric crap-ton of cash while living on next to nothing with cheap rent.

> Your story is fine as long as it ends with you being single and alone without any real assets.

As I believe I have demonstrated, you have no justification for this statement; none whatsoever. It's simply not the case that a person who choses to spend one part of his or her life saving money living with roommates in a fun town will be forever "trapped" by that choice.

Also, you might not have intended it this way, but that statement was mean-spirited.
None, hence

That is obviously a stupid idea. Regardless, that is the most probable and common measure to be taken by the governments worldwide. Because it is straightforward, incredibly lazy and bottom feeding.

It is interesting how in two comments we have encompased what are the two greatest flaws of practical governments and free markets.

In my oppinion this is a failure of competing merchants as they are sleeping and do not see writing on the wall. Instead of adapting they look up to the regulators to save their comfortable industries. Which in itself is a flaw of the modern western socioeconomic situation.

IMHO its a fact that Amazon is constantly maneouvering towards a situation where it becomes dangerous due to its modus operandi.

To be safe from Amazon threat, producers will have to find access to markets in a fashion that will prevent them from over exposing themselves to Amazon.

And any good regulation should be about lowering barrier to entry towards would be Amazon competitors.

I am certain that eventually producers will have to cut out the middleman (Amazon) or vice versa.
I need something like this, but I don't think this is it.

I don't care at all about photos of cars. I would at some point, but I'm not sure when.

What I need is:

* Each model broken out by every trim (this is 80% of what I need right there) so I don't have to dig through flash-heavy car company websites to figure out what my engine options are

* Comparisons across cars/trims on BHP, torque, and displacement, city/hwy MPG, cabin & trunk space, &c. These are all stats that are readily available but annoying to track down

* Aggregation and summary of existing reviews

* Some notion of the "maturity" of the current model year (what's the last model year that had a major refresh)

* A metric of what the used market for each car looks like for the past couple years

* Some notion of availability and price variability across regions

If this already exists, please someone tell me, because I'm driving a car whose engine is at any moment going to fall out of its compartment and onto the street below, almost entirely because of what a galactic pain it is to narrow down my options.
Girl has an "immature, not yet an adult" connotation. "Guy" wasn't the only option here. It could easily have read "This woman not only became a competent front end developer..."

Using Katas to Improve Your Coding
I think the trigger just never, um, triggered. In my experience, MySQL fails silently far too often.
The type, as a set of nouns, is the range (excuse me, "codomain") of a function.

So, if we have another function and we call it with a noun of that type, we know the range of the input, we know the code in the function, we can infer the range of the output. It's not terribly rocket scientific.
Right now, your website allows me to browse for pictures of new cars in alphabetical order, or search for pictures of new cars. That's it. Why would I bookmark this site? Why would I recommend this site to others? It doesn't yet serve a purpose.

You have data that you can use to boost your site's functionality. If you gave people sliders for base cost, city MPG and highway MPG, your website would be more useful.

People could look for pictures of new cars on google image search. Maybe you want people to look for pictures of new cars on your site by MPG or price. These are things that your website can leverage right now, all by changing the front end.

Until then, your website is a splash page for Edmunds.

No offense, but I'm strongly inclined to believe that you are not making it by on 80k a year in SF, and if you made that little money at one point, it was not for an extended enough period of time for you to properly understand what it afforded you. Your estimates seem to be nothing more than back of the napkin calculations missing major components like half of the taxes. Your numbers fit to someone making 100k+.

Edit: Also, you didn't even address the direct counter-point to your argument that the savings is "trivial".

Living on your own is making zero effort. "Minimum effort" as a mathematical expression could even be negative (i.e. actively trying to rid yourself of money), but as a colloquialism typically means "appreciable," "reasonable," or "realistic." If you're not a native speaker, I can see how that might have confused you. If you are, then you're just being difficult.

Yes, Apple's functionality seems best for casual users (ie, my parents) who generally only use safari on their ipads and mac.

iCloud Keychain is a better experience on iOS because only Apple can extend Safari - If you're using 1Password on iOS, you can't do the equivalent of "CMD+\" - you have to use the launch the 1P app - which breaks the workflow.

I don't see me moving away from 1Password anytime soon - though the ability to have multiple agile keychains in a single 1P session would have me pulling out my wallet - been waiting for that for awhile.

Databases: Beyond the SQL/NoSQL Debate
> and after the fact you discovered a class of patients responded differently than the rest and you could find a good classifier, then it's certainly not fraud

Or you could say "after the fact you chose/created the class of patients that responded differently".

It certainly is fraudulent, I suppose this issue isn't quite a Stats 101 thing, but it's certainly undergrad level because it's only a little bit subtle.

A useful metaphor to keep in mind is the one that gives the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy it's name: "The name comes from a joke about a Texan who fires some shots at the side of a barn, then paints a target centered on the biggest cluster of hits and claims to be a sharpshooter." The examples on wikipedia are also instructive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy)

As PeterisP pointed out, the only correct interpretation is to say "That's interesting, we need to do another study with that subgroup to see if that's a real effect" (although that xkcd comic illustrates what's called "The Filedrawer Effect" or simply "publication bias" which is the same error made a different way).

Give me a dataset of people rolling dice many times and the ability to group them after examining the data and I will find you a group that seems to have magical craps playing abilities that don't actually exist. It might be men over 6' with brown hair or it might be married people who are left handed or maybe bilingual introverts ... who knows, I can't tell you what that group will be until I see the data (and that last statement is why you know it's not a real ability). This is precisely why experimental design depends on defining your tests before you examine your data or, put another way, you cannot use the data that suggested an effect to prove an effect.

The idea that the CEO of a biotech company didn't know this is absurd, because this is Running a Scientific Experiment 101. Selecting groups after seeing the data is probably the most common method chosen to tweak failed experiments by those committing fraud, second is probably using the filedrawer (just rerun the experiment until you get a result by chance and pretend the failed experiments never happened). These are so rife that there are hundreds of articles about the prevalence of this type of fraud published in the last few years. This type of behaviour is a big deal these days.

Engaging and Retaining Your Employees
This explanation falls apart for me because the third time you use the word "function", it can refer to either of the two referents you already introduced.

I think you're saying a type is the range of inputs to function1 which succeed by not crashing; given function2 and a noun in the type, we may use function1 to infer the range of values which function2 must accept? Maybe?
I don't think you can determine knowledge of things like Paperclip like this by looking at a repo. I used Paperclip once. Just follow a tutorial. Boom. Done. Looking at my repo you'd assume I just knew it too. Like others have brought up as well, women are even more likely to get help from others than guys who think they have to do everything themselves for better or worse, so there can be live tutors involved as well.
There are two type of people in life.

The first type graduates from college and their learning stops for the most part. They say to themselves, "well, I studied for four years and got a job, now it's finally time to sit back and relax." So they put in their regular 9-5 and then come home and waste their lives away by watching TV shows and playing video games and going out and getting drunk on weekends. Essentially, they "settle" into a middle-class lifestyle, where they earn enough money to get by and may be save a little too. They may be content, but they are also always stressed about the prospect of losing their jobs, because at their level of skill and ambition, they are almost always employees, rather than employers. Eventually, that's exactly what happens as the work they do is automated and they find themselves unemployed with little savings and no other skill that they can contribute to the economy.

The second type has a perpetual hunger for knowledge. They see college as the "launch pad" for a lifetime of learning. So they graduate and get jobs, but on the side they continue to read, discuss, listen and apply. They hang out with smart and successful people who also read, discuss, listen and apply. They look for problems and opportunities, and figure out what they need to learn to be able to work on them. These are the Jennifer Dewalt types whose ambition and discipline set them up for a continuously upward trajectory. They are the ones who refuse to settle, and therefore end up as leaders in organizations that innovate and change humanity.

It's funny because over the years I have developed what I think to be a very reliable method for predicting someone's future success. The method involves asking the person what they do in their spare time. Based on their answer, I can picture where they will end up in five to ten years.

That's... not true. The question is "how likely is there to be an electrical fire in the Tesla, given that it has crashed (or is crashing)" not "how likely is there to be an electrical fire".

It's easy enough for things not to catch flame when they're being used properly; the real test is how things behave when other things are going wrong.

That's not to say that this means all Tesla cars are fiery death-traps of doom. Just that the sample size really is the number of crashed cars.
