The OP is about office rents, but like all other property in California, Prop 13 distorts the market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_13_%281...

"The proposition decreased property taxes by assessing property values at their 1975 value and restricted annual increases of assessed value of real property to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2% per year. It also prohibited reassessment of a new base year value except for in cases of (a) change in ownership, or (b) completion of new construction."
I think you've got it backwards. It would be less decent to give it an new name and forget its origins. Calling it Standard Markdown waives any claim to have created anything new. It makes it clear this is merely an effort to standardise the language Gruber famously invented. It gives all credit for origination to him.
Wait, wait, wait. Samsung?

I do own a Samsung 'Smart' TV. I connected it once to the network and won't ever do that again. That leads to

- a forced software update

- gazillion 'apps' being forcefully installed

All of these

- aren't on the machine when you buy it

- cannot be removed without a firmware reset after a disconnect [1]

- are SO. CRAPPY. Really. Like the scum of the web. The worst of the worst. Think yellow press newspaper app, but lower

- are prominently displayed on your TV, even if you choose to install 'other things' (YouTube? Yeah, less important than, say, BILD. A despicable and ugly illusion of a newspaper in Germany). You cannot even _hide_ the crap.

So .. anyone copying Samsung for TVs is a moron in my world. There's no worse way that first 'smart TV' experience could've gone that I could imagine. You cannot, even if you try, make that experience worse.

(Don't buy Samsung Smart TVs, unless you don't plan to use the so-called Smart feature. They suck [2])

1: As confirmed by their customer service. That's "by design" and there's nothing you can do about it. I learned that from the hotline and unfortunately too late to return the TV (I .. didn't connect it for the first 3 weeks due to cable issues/a lack of a wifi adapter)

2: Disclaimer: Lots of the "I force shit down your throat" behavior seems localized. So .. that I can actually enjoy the crappiest content that the German language can offer in this particular case. Maybe it's a little better elsewhere, but the attitude still supports that Samsung, as a TV manufacturer, sucks balls. That is all.

I live up in Tahoe, and I've always wondered why Reno doesn't attract more high tech enterprises. It has a good business climate, and it sits right there at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, with skiing minutes away and endless other outdoor possibilities. SF and Silicon Valley are a hop and a skip away. Granted, some of the casinos are eyesores, but who doesn't have eyesores. Right now, Reno is also practically free of traffic congestion and stuff like that. Not sure what I should be wishing for...

I'm glad to see they've finally made a decision. Harry Reid had expressed some concern [1] that Musk might have been playing Nevada with no real intention of building the Gigafactory there, so it's all well that it panned out.

1/3 webOS team has already quit. webOS as it currently is only the result of the CES deadline forcing LG to go with webOS rather than LG team. Even after success of webOS TV, LG is still going with LG team. webOS team's morale is low. They got lucky with launch. With the way things are, it's only going to get worse.
My strong suspicion is that if everyone worked 11 hours, we would wind up in ferocious competition for:

(a) positional goods (I can have a house on the best street if I just work 22 hours, not 11) and
(b) the scanty resources now provided in fields where average productivity growth has been lower.

To use Baumol's example, the string quartet will still have to play 40 hours a week while everyone else works 11, as string quartets have not become more productive.

I've not read that book, but there's another factor common in poverty, especially among those living in poverty who are trying to get out of it: extreme stress.

Working your way out of poverty demands superhuman levels of energy and willpower. You have to juggle multiple jobs, each with their own schedule and you have to be able to float through crises. The plumbing failed in your run-down apartment again? Well, it's not like you can call in sick today, you don't have the kind of job that affords you the luxury of taking time off.

When you have kids, it's even more severe. Kids need things all the time: food, school supplies, clothes, attention. They get sick. They need to be supervised at all times.

So you got off work late and you're trying to pick up your kids, who've been waiting at school for 20 minutes already, and you're still hoping to make it to the first half of your class so that you can get the education you need that might help you get out of this whole cycle. You know that eventually a school official is going to complain about leaving your kids outside. What do they care? Your kids aren't their problem. You've already dealt with people from the school before, you don't need another problem with them.

Every minute counts. But now you're stuck at a red light and you know how this cycle works. You drive it every day. If you hit this light while it's red and the next light is green, you'll be stuck at a red light in every single intersection between here and the school.

If only.

If only you had left 30 seconds earlier, you could've avoided the red lights.

If only you had driven just a little faster, you could've avoided the red lights.

If only you had pulled out ahead of that slow senior sedan, you might've avoided the red lights.

While you're sitting there, at the red light, staring at an empty intersection because this light is on a timer and there's no cross traffic, the seconds tick by like minutes.

Your kids are waiting, still.

And you're afraid, too. What if the school official wants to reprimand you? What if they want to argue? You don't have the time. What if that creepy kid is hanging out with your kids right now? Drugs are everywhere, it's hard to keep them away. What if a patrol car drove by and noticed your kids standing outside?

What if, what if, what if. Every second.

--

It's a piece of cake to sit back and analyze this situation from afar: yeah, sure, speeding only saves you 10 seconds on average in a small town. Maybe a minute here or there depending on where you are. It's not worth the safety risk to yourself or others. It's not worth the ticket.

But I don't believe anyone is completely immune to sacrificing their principles or reason in all situations. Live a stressful enough life where every minute counts, and you too will start trading the risk of a traffic ticket for the reward of one extra minute.
By not "speeding", you're violating the de facto rules of the road in most places.

In order for your stance to make sense in the universal moral sense, people must respect the law. In order for people to respect the law, the law must conform to normative behavior. Bureaucrats who invert this causality and work to dictate people's common behavior (whether it's 10mph too-low speed limits, drug persecution, or even something a-posteri-innocuous like the MA seatbelt law) are ultimately responsible for destroying this respect and creating a society where everybody is guilty but only selectively prosecuted.
Maybe you missed it, but he did suggest a reason why we do work so hard still: income inequality. ie. the bulk of productivity gains have gone only to a minority of the population.

I disagree. I have some of the same issues as the single mom profiled here, and reading the book helped me connect the dots. Having less of something than is required to meet all of the requirements for that something (the definition of scarcity) triggers this behavior in people. And if you don't actually stop and think about what is happening, you start making choices which are counter productive to your situation.

If you've read the Seven Habits of Highly Successful people one of their points is to invest time to work on 'important' but not 'urgent' things. They argue that by doing so these things do not contribute to 'urgency' later by becoming a crisis. They back into the same, rather powerful concept. Which is that if you don't take time to externalize all the 'costs' you don't effectively manage the resource. In my case I would get a free hour of time and think I could do "anything" with it, but once I started keeping track of things I had put off in my notebook I started recognizing where I'd spend that hour doing something unrelated to the stuff being put off and later that activity was going to be 'urgent' if it didn't get done. By choosing instead to put that hour toward one of my projects needing time I keep them under the crisis threshold. I also recognized things I really wasn't ever going to get to and got rid of those projects entirely from my 'queue.'

It can be challenging to realize that you can only do one thing tonight even though three things are vying for your attention, and pulling an all-nighter (my go to trick for college) really taints the hours you spend on projects the next day, which then take more time than they would have, which means even more things vying for your attention. You have to 'back up' to before that point where you are over loaded and understand what you can really get done in that time and then prioritize based on overall progress against the goals. Relatively easy to say, really hard to do.

Sure, the greatness of LGs webOS may be, if this article is accurate, a result of pure luck.

However, from LGs advertising it seems like they are very aware that the simplicity is webOS' biggest asset. I don't see any reason why that focus would change, even with a Korean team.

The biggest bummer of lock-free data structures from my perspective is the reclamation problem.

Hazard pointers solve the problem but they are API-intrusive. Notably, hazard pointers require thread-local state, as well as some global structure that contains the entire list of threads. That means you have to register/deregister threads when when they are created/destroyed.

So essentially your API needs to look like this:

mylib_perthread_t *perthread = mythread_perthread_new();

// Later:
mylib_lockfreestack_push(obj, perthread, val);

// When the thread shuts down:
mylib_perthread_free(perthread);

But this is API-intrusive:

1. each thread must call mylib_perthread_new()
2. the thread needs thread-local storage for "perthread"
3. the thread must call mylib_perthread_free() before exiting

C11 and C++11 have thread-local storage, which solves (2), but (1) and (3) are still API-intrusive. Having to explicitly initialize/uninitialize a library per-thread resource is very uncommon. Worse, it doesn't compose well.

Until this problem has a convenient and idiomatic solution, it's hard to imagine hazard pointers being very useful in idiomatic C and C++ APIs.

Without hazard pointers, your only real options are:

1. use a fixed-size structure (specify up front its max size)
2. don't free any nodes until the structure itself is deleted

The first is what this article does. The second is what boost.lockfree does. But without hazard pointers, you also need to solve the ABA problem, which requires either DCAS (double compare-and-swap), or a fixed-size structure that you index by offset instead of by pointer.

It just occurred to me that a flow-chart of all these options and variations could be interesting.
> does that make your job search harder when you leave to a place that doesn't hand out VP titles?

Doesn't make the job search harder within the financial industry. In my experience the majority people are recruited/courted extensively for positions in the industry, hence it's not quite a "job search" in the majority of the cases.

On the other hand, if they could choose other titles, on the lines of "lead guitar" they may have trouble with job search. People generally seem to be very particular about industry-based titles.
It's really not that hard.

If you have a lot of breaking changes, you probably shouldn't be at 1.x.x. If you need to deprecate something, add the extra features alongside and remove the deprecated features in the next major release. If you need to add something to code that is >= 1.x.x and you think it will need breaking changes, you should mark the feature as experimental in the documentation until it has stabilized.

I don't think any success LG has had selling TVs has anything to do with the SmartTV stuff though. Anecdotal evidence and all, but I have yet to meet anyone where the SmartTV UI was even remotely a factor in which TV they bought. Heck, I have yet to meet anyone where the presence of SmartTV features was a factor in which TV they bought.

I would think that anyone who cares at all about watching Internet video on their TV would just shell out the $35-$100 to get a Chromecast, Roku, or AppleTV, if they don't already get the same functionality from a game console that they already own. I have yet to see any SmartTV which is remotely competitive with these devices, and they have the added benefit of not being baked into your display so you can upgrade or replace them as needed.
String quartets have trouble enough finding an audience that is willing to pay as it is.

This has been plaguing the arts for many years, but it is mostly because art is not valued for the time that went into the production of that art.
The best UI is no UI, so glad to have Chromecast to just skip the smart TV UI altogether.
Even if you're read mostly, R/W locks often do a very bad job. If your critical sections are short (say, in a hash map, or fine-grained locks in a linked list or tree, or even a whole structure lock on a small tree or array), then contention on the R/W lock internals will be a bottleneck, since readers still have to update the reader count, so the count field is a shared location all the readers are doing writes to. You could have this by e.g. having a "fat" R/W lock that's made up of num_cpus primitive R/W locks (and each reader only reader-locks the lock associated with its CPU), but none of the common R/W locks actually do this (and it's not always even the right call if you're worried about node size).

Then again, lots of lock-free structures often try to handle memory management using reference counts or hazard pointers, which have their own performance issues.
So the standard does not provide a standard?

I find the dokuwiki table syntax to be pretty simple and effective, or the markdown extra version. Don't know why none has been made a standard part of markdown yet. Seems like it must be due to backlash against table-based web designs of the 1990s, (which resulted in an entire generation of web developers thinking that tables are inherently evil and an entire generation of non-developers who just do things in MS Word or Excel instead because it's relatively easy to make tables).
