Interesting all the outrage about Whitney Wolfe and all the articles about her and sexual harassment and sexism in tech while her case was going on.

Now she finally wins her case and its like a blip on the radar? Pretty sad if you ask me.
We are not poorer now, but as you pointed out, children have gone from being profitable to being a burden, so no matter how much money we may have, there is less incentive to have children.

I'm also thinking that back in the day, your children were your retirement plan, so better have enough of them to make sure you will be taken care of. But now that the state is our retirement plan, even less reason to have kids.
Nah, you can fix the sentence by adding what was unspoken but assumed:

Emailing Strategy That Converts: 6 Aspects Your Startup SHOULD Consider
In a word, yes. Let me remind you of the meaning of "proletarian".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proletariat

Quote: "... children—proles (from Latin proli, "offspring")—were listed instead of their property; hence, the name proletarius, "the one who produces offspring"."

In Rome the proletariat were nothing less than baby factories. Many were completely indoctrinated in this role, regarding it as their duty.

And this class has existed, with different names, to the present.
Contracts (written just as much as verbal) don't magically enforce themselves. They just provide evidence of the substance of an agreement in the legal action when one side thinks they were violated.

And friends starting something together often don't anticipate it becoming a source of friction in the future, and don't do what you'd expect people in an arms-length relationship to do. Sure, anyone whose been around the block once will likely have learned -- and lots of people will learn before they've been around the block themselves. But quite a lot of people won't, or will learn but think that it doesn't really apply to the little project their doing with their friends, and by the time they realize that they should have, they'll be enough money already involved that what one side sees as a "reasonable division" will be what the other side sees as "cheating me out of what I am due".
In a nutshell, I refuse to engage in the degree of ethical chicanery necessary to even pose such a silly question. This is one place where "common sense" has it right, and sophomoric philosophical debates are just a way of seeming sophisticated while in truth being horribly debased.

But hey, if you're going to play "I'm too twisted in knots by postmodernism to understand ethics anymore", why not ask whether it would be correct for a deaf couple to deliberately induce deafness in a child not otherwise destined to be deaf?

(The best part is that these questions probably cease to be hypothetical in another 20 or 30 years.... and then the shit really hits the fan....)
Ask HN: Mods: Ability to collapse comments thread
It is quite possible this has been asked before. I'd appreciate the ability to collapse comments thread (just like reddit). The recent Apple watch thread with 700+ comments in less than 24 hours is an example of how hard it is to find the next main comment (without opening the dev tools).

E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8291934
"At this point, Brown and the Individual Defendants…entered into an explicit oral agreement as to their respective interests in their joint undertaking to develop the Application…That explicit agreement was that their interests in the venture would be equally distributed, i.e. each of them would have 1/3 ownership and profit interests in the joint venture/partnership."

Yeah, verbal agreements aren't worth squat. At best, you get a settlement, at worst you get nothing. I'm surprised these guys didn't sign contracts amongst themselves.
About RSI, I believe chorded keybindings can alleviate it. And I've seen some nice vi configs where 'jj' == escape, so you're easily back to command mode. Cute idea.

It's so obviously not true between developed countries and across time. The more traditional the gender roles (opposite of "equality") the higher the birth rate. I would have to see the data before I even believed the claim that within an industrialized nation more "equal" couples have more kids. I highly doubt it.
Not to mention that just because what someone is doing isn't a matter of life and death doesn't mean it isn't important. Depriving a father of an hour he could have spent with his kids is a pretty screwed up thing to do in general.
That seems like it would work better actually, especially for long distances.

As Portuguese living in Germany the way day care and primary schools work always surprised me.

We have lots of bad things, specially in the current times, but I would say day care options in Portugal are way better for working parents.

Having the option to drop the children between 8 am and 6pm is already a big help.
This times a hundred. My sister stays home to care for her children and people in our area(DC) act like it's unbelievable. Edit: or worse, they assume she is barefoot and pregnant and chained to the stove.

I wouldn't have children with someone unless one of us was willing to take care of the children AT LEAST until school age. I don't think it's evil or sinful or anything to put your kids in daycare, but I am very very glad I grew up with a stay at home mother. Summer daycare(or day camp every single week all summer) just sounds way way too structured(insofar as it has to be, because it has to work around the structured adult schedules of working parents) for children.
Any credible cites for this?
I don't think Apple Pay will have any implications on IAP in the near future. Apple guidelines clearly show that Apple Pay is for physical goods and services, IAP for digital stuff:

"It is important to understand the difference between Apple Pay and In-App Purchase. Use Apple Pay to sell physical goods such as groceries, clothing, and appliances. Also use Apple Pay for services such as club memberships, hotel reservations, and tickets for events. On the other
hand, use In-App Purchase to sell virtual goods such as premium content for your app, and subscriptions for digital content."

From a technical standpoint, I'd say Elixir.

Advantages over Go:

1. Reliability (OTP, supervisor, pre-emptive scheduling)

2. Clean code (error handling, higher order functions)

3. Far superior package management

Advantages over Erlang:

1. Extensible (Macros)

2. Familiar syntax for Rails developers

That being said, Go definitely has the advantage when it comes to marketing/hype (Google, Unix daddy etc), which as you can judge by the success of Node and Mongo, sadly trumps technical merit even in the tech community.
NEW iPhone 6 Giveaway. It is your chance !
The fact that the Apple Watch doesn't do everything we can conceive combined with its visual elegance (at least in the videos) suggests to me Apple's target in this first iteration is the luxury market. I expect the athletes using those "crappy" Beats headsets will be popularizing Apple Watches to adoring fans before too long. That will give Apple enough time to make improvements over time.

Thanks for the links. But I'm one of those who try to avoid extensions unless absolute necessary. I can't have all these extensions on my mobile devices too. It's possible to write a tiny bookmarklet that just looks for the spacers used to indent the comments. However, this is something very basic from usability point of view hence I'm making a suggestion.

> Daycare isn't unbeneficial to a child.

That's a very simplified observation of a complex reality. Not all daycares are created equal: The National Institute of Child Health Development[1] found that most daycare operations are "fair" or "poor". Only 10% are "high-quality".
Obviously the details are what matter in each case: a caring parent at home is far better than a crowded day-care. Conversely, a great daycare can help with a bad home situation.

Redhat employ the core systemd developers, and RHEL is mainly a server product. Senior Redhat people must understand the issues and have decided to go with this system for a reason. I'm just wondering what the reason was!

One of them has just jumped ship to Google mind you!
This release is doubly exciting for me because it means my copy of the Programming Elixir book should be shipping very soon!

I think I can very closely relate to Dave Thomas when he expressed his excitement about Elixir and how similar it was to what he felt when he first encountered Ruby. Early last summer I took a fairly deep dive into Elixir and discovered that it left me with the same feelings as when I started to explore Ruby at the suggestion of my then boss many years ago. It just made sense. From the structure of an application to the way pattern matching works and even the larger ecosystem. I know a lot of people compare Ruby and Elixir because of the superficial syntactical similarities but there's something deeper there that makes me almost giddy: once you know the basics a lot of the rest just sort of seems to fall into place. Unlike a lot of other languages the learning process isn't filled with head-tilting moments of confusion, just lots of nodding up and down while thinking "Of course that's how it works!"

I can see the merits of this, but (scanning the front page) it looks like the primary tool for selecting candidates is a psychometric assessment.

First of all this is only data driven if we can show that candidates who score well are actually good sales people.

It is true that people with certain big four profiles for instance, tend to end up in sales. But are they more likely to be good salesmen? People with low intelligence or impulse inhibition tend to end up in prison, but are they effective criminals?

This is an exciting first step - by gathering quantitative data about the roles that the candidates go into, and how they perform, you could build the model you need. You probably don't have it yet though.

The other important thing is that different types of sales require very different people.

Sometimes, sales people need to penetrate a market where contacts are important, and deals are huge but take a long time to set up. They need to be the kind of person who can foster long term relationships, and maintain long term personal relationships with people and organizations.

Other times, deals are small, or relatively small, and what is important is volume. Maybe they need to rapidly create a shallow relationship, close the sale, and walk away. Maybe they need to cold call, and be especially tenacious in the face of rejection.

I'd be fascinated to see you create a questionnaire or similar that identifies the right person for that specific role.

What about administrating the tests to current employees, along with details from their bosses about performance. That way you could build a model of the kind of person who does well at that organization, at least generically.

This might be premature. I still can't use Hangouts to make voice-only calls, and I end up going back to its predecessor over and over.

When I try to use Hangouts for ordinary phone calls, the system assumes I want a video chat, and can't seem to understand that I want to use my USB headset, not the microphone on the video camera and the system speakers, for a voice-only call. I've never been able to train the system to default to the USB headset and leave the video camera out of the equation.

I'm going to try the new version on principle, but I have serious doubts.
Well, if the jobs were worth filling, they would be filled, right?
Thanks Ryan that's really nice of you to say :)
Rolex's are the worst investments in watch collecting. Rolex is highly susceptible to overshadowing, so even though a new one is more expensive than when you bought it, it doesn't mean your watch is worth that. It's worth even less if you didn't service it in 2013 and didn't keep the paperwork (Rolex's must be serviced every 3-4 years to maintain value).

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't find someone dumb enough to unload it on for more than you paid it, but a collector isn't going to give you that value for it.

The Rolex Daytona is the exception to this rule though, but Submariners are mass-produced and common for luxury watches.

There actually are good, obvious reasons to prefer Elixir to Erlang. Syntax is actually significant to productivity. For one quick example, Erlang requires you to terminate statements with either a comma, or a period, depending on whether it's the last statement in the section. If you move code around, you need to go back at the end and fix the commas and periods. Typically, this happens in the form of an error message, which leads to a tedious extra step that happens to me maybe 15 times a day when working with Erlang. That problem doesn't exist in Elixir. There are quite a few other nice things too. Elixir increases productivity in real ways.

Trichotomy of Control
Conditionals without braces? Have we learned nothing from heartbleed?
Children with working parents is one group. Children with developmental problems is another group. There is surely some overlap, but that is far from saying that children with working parents will always have developmental problems. I can point to some people I know and say "they're an only child" based on the way they behave, but that's ignoring the millions of 'only child's who have no behavioral problems or the millions of people from multi-child households who still have difficulty functioning in normal society.

There is certainly more to a child's behavior than whether their parents were working or staying at home. There might be a strong correlation to households with two working parents and households with other developmentally-stunting factors like parental illiteracy or low education levels, low levels of parental involvement, etc, but I'm sure you would have a tough time proving to any level that, with all other factors remaining the same, two working parents cause more damage to a child than having a stay-at-home parent.

For what it's worth (as long as your anecdotal experience means something to you), my brother-in-law is a college administrator and my sister is a first grade teacher and they have two children who don't seem to have any developmental issues. But my sister has kids in her class with a stay-at-home parent who certainly do.

Perhaps the problem is you used Erlang before trying Elixir.

For the typical programmer coming outside the Erlang/Elixir environment, Elixir is by far the more familiar and easier to pick up.

"I'm curious if anyone has compiled a list of day zero critiques over the years for Apple successes (Mac, iPod, iPhone) or failures (Mac toaster, hifi, etc.)? It would be fun (and maybe a bit informative) for the community to review."

As someone that's followed HN and gadget-news blog comments far too closely since the late 90's, I promise you won't find a single thread too unlike this one. The only exceptions, oddly, might be the iPod nano and the iPod touch, which caught the competition completely flat-footed.

The iPhone announcement brought out everyone that owned a Nokia N95 to tell us how backward we were for being mildly impressed. The iPad brought out yawns. Every iPod model was an overpriced Archos or iRiver.
Somewhat hilariously this change stops any of the text messages from reaching the google voice web app in favor of hangouts (the web app being basically it's only redeeming quality at this point) and there appears to be some weird behavior when texting people through hangouts.

The webapp was the only reason I still bothered to use GV since it's felt like it's been abandoned for years now. It's frustrating how great this could have been especially with how early it originally came out, but I don't think it's worth it anymore - still no MMS (therefore no groupchat support). No notice of any of those failing either.

People are better off just using iMessage even though it isn't cross platform than dealing with this.

The two benefits I can still think of are that it's easy to switch carriers/numbers since your GV number is an abstraction and if you're out of the country temporarily you can still get texts to your American GV number. Really though FB/Whatsapp and a billion other widely used chat solutions have solved this and people in the US don't switch networks/numbers that often.
And it is it holistically proprietary inoperable bullshit now. Your messages still get broadcast through their XMPP infrastructure (for now) so I can still use Telepathy with their services, but the UX is shit because Jingle broke amongst other things.
What? As a father of (soon to be) three children this sounds really odd to me. My kids have always loved going to daycare and I've never heard of it causing any developmental problems. On the contrary my own experience is that daycare really accelerates kids development.

Most children in Sweden have two working parents and start daycare when they are around a year old. Daycare in Sweden is considered part of the school system and the teachers working there have (approximately) the same education as 'regular' school teachers.

Edit: Also, as a related fact in this discussion, in Sweden children that are behind in learning to speak (language development) can actually receive special permission to spend _more_ time in daycare to help speed up their language learning.
