Any Idea ?

Rebecca West does not speak for all feminists. She wasn't even alive for the mess of the third wave we're still in. I'm just replying to say your comment on a first reading comes across as naive in the subject of feminism. But it can also be seen as disingenuous, for it's a classic propaganda technique to hide behind a reasonable claim made by a proponent of X_1 to further along some goal of X_2, all while using the undifferentiated label X. (See https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htm on 'democracy'.) I also can't ignore that, left unqualified, an uncharitable reader may interpret your claim for men and women to be treated the same as a claim to be treated the same in all contexts, which is obviously a stupid idea, because men and women aren't the same.

I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm just trying to encourage you to be less sloppy if you're going to reply to comments like sliverstorm's with intent to change minds. At best, your reply is just an argument over a definition (http://lesswrong.com/lw/np/disputing_definitions/), let's all try to do better.
It has already happened. My wife uses an ipad rather than a cook-book in the kitchen all the time.

But the market provides a generally terrible experience.

These private buses want a better than the market experience, but don't want to pay enough to cover the costs involved.

In the context of immensely rich companies who have extravegant perks it seems weird for them to be nickle and diming on this one perk.

Driving buses is very stressful - so much so that it reduces length of life. Driving the price down to what the market (of drivers) will bear leaves you with sub-optimal drivers.

Cost of Living is definitely skewed in some cities - london, SF, etc. Do you really want your bus driver to have a one hour commute before they start work? Other low paid jobs - cleaners, store clerks, teachers, low rank nurses and care assistants - these people are all needed by the city but can't afford to either live in the city nor live outisde it and commute in. Being a cleaner is probably lousy, but being a cleaner with a two hour commute to get to your minimum wage job must really suck.

Your answer touches on the concept of people as "rational economic actors" but that doesn't happen in the real world, just like we don't have spherical cows in the fields. People have many reasons for staying at a sub-optimal location or in a sub-optimal job and using those sub-optimalities to screw them out of a bit more money is
You don't really need to justify their position. FB is a private company employing private buses for its employees. By doing so it is taking cars off the road. Full Stop.

Your posts on this thread are quite strange. It's almost as if you are in complete ignorance of the most fundamental criticisms of capitalism. I'm not saying you have to agree with them, but it's bizarre that you are wildly thrashing about in confusion over topics that have been well discussed for over a century. The position of the workers here is not new, neither is their argument, but you have never encountered it before?

You seem to be implicitly assuming that the corporation will fight for their position, and that there is nothing wrong with that. When workers do the same suddenly you are left in shock and disgust. Why is that?

If Facebook wants to hire cheaper bus drivers, then they should just relocate to a cheaper area, right?
And here we circle back to the original argument - them doing private buses is more cost effective way to give back to the society than wasting boatloads of money on trying to integrate with public transport infrastructure.

It works both ways.

> "Stability experimental" in the top right corner.

This is a bit of a strange convention in the Haskell world. Libraries tend to be marked "experimental" even when they are completely stable and the correct choice for production use. Note that Data.Text[1] is also marked "experimental", and it is perfectly stable and the correct choice for Unicode in Haskell.

Data.Vector is 3rd party in the sense that it is not part of the GHC base package, but so what? It is now considered the correct library for using arrays in Haskell.

There is a simple reason: human beings are not fungible. The economy should serve people, not the other way around.
Because "capitalist idealists" is usually a covert concept for oligarch's ideals.
You're right, something like this could cause friends and family to have to separate. Creative destruction sucks, but I would argue that the benefits to society are worth it. I can't fault you for having a different opinion on the tradeoff though.

Possible alternative to unionizing every low-wage job: lobby the city to remove barriers to building additional housing, so fewer people will need to move.
I took a look at FireChat, but bluetooth is a bit too 'nearby' for me.
Very cool that it's off the grid, but only useful if you're basically right next to them anyways.

I wanted something like: talk to everyone nearby in a football/hockey/tri-d chess stadium, but bluetooth falls a bit short. What would be really cool is if you could set up a relay system through other devices.

I've made (i.e. works, but not polished yet) something similar: http://www.shoutium.com
which has ranges of 1-100KM around your current location.
It does require internet, so it probably isn't aimed at the firechat crowd anyways.
Very few users unfortunately, guess I'll work on advertising after the iOS version is done -_-

It's a common refrain from right wing commentators. It has always seemed to me a very anti-human position though. When people move they lose the support network of their friends and family and community. That network can be crucial to them in all sorts of ways - helping to find a job if they become unemployed, helping out in times of financial hardship, helping them during periods of illness or depression. In many ways it's just about the worst thing a person can do for their economic future.
I think you missed the point. I am arguing that a union would benefit bus drivers at the expense of all other people.
Optimists have been saying that since at least the late 1980s. But, realistically, we're probably more like a decade away from significant, widespread acceptance influence of a new programming approach like that of bloom [1] possibly combined with a visual dev environment (LightTable's Eve [2], from the recent HN discussion, seems like it may be the initial vehicle for this.)

But what you are suggesting isn't just automating away programming, but automating away requirements analysis. And that's not happening any time soon.

That would be awesome! But, it's not really Facebook (or Google or Apple)'s business or area of expertise. That said, there are a few startups working on it.
"Low skilled"? That seems an odd, risky, attitude to have about someone piloting twenty tons of steel and a full load of passengers through a city.
I disagree that PayPal is good enough. To receive money via PayPal you have to link your bank account which takes verification and can be a PITA. Square Cash "refunds" it directly to your debit card. You just type in the number. It's also usually easier than using your bank's EFT interface to send money.

However this debit mechanism is also what makes it so expensive for Square to operate (>20 cents per transaction in interchange fees).
> I'm not sure why unions seem like such an appalling idea to capitalist idealists.

For the same reason capitalism was named "capitalism" by its critics (a name later adopted by its supporters) -- because it is a system in which society is ordered to serve the interests of capitalists first and foremost.
The shadows would not break immersion if they are part of the game. Either a significant part, such as the shadow is a representation of the player which needs to dodge light bullets.. Even if the shadows are not a significant part of the game, the player character and all the objects in the room both projected and real need to have a shadow in the game world. Instead of the computer having to calculate and render every shadow the projectors will take care of the shadows for the real objects as a side-effect.

the labor market is not a free market (mainly for the high cost of switching, lack of information, and lack of jobs). Treating it like such is dangerous.
Yeah. Network is a big deal too.
I don't really understand the payment-company wars. Living in Europe, I can instantly wire money to anyone in the EU for free, so I'm wondering if companies like Square are solving a problem that uniquely exists in the US, or whether I've got the wrong end of the stick.

Does this have to do with the predominance of credit cards in the US otherwise (a relatively uncommon mode of payment where I live)?

Seems to me like a high value for a problem that I can't relate to.

They already do.

Facebook has offices in London, New York, Tel-Aviv and (I would assume) other cities as well; it is not because they like the accents - it is because they exhausted their available CA talent pool AT THE PRICE THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY, and therefore have to tap other pools.

I don't understand your argument.

Because on the long run it doesn't work.

The city of Lima, Peru, has a system of informal buses which go through the city in different routes, and charge an extremely low price.

On the surface, it works well, but it suffers a tremendous problem of lack of coordination which leads to huge systemic inefficiencies.

The government of Lima is fighting back by improving the public transport infrastructure, but it's a project that will take decades.

If Facebook locates offices in areas with a high cost of living they need to factor that high cost of living across all their employees - including cleaners, security guards, admin clerks, and other low pay workers. Facebook can't just use national average wage for the type of job for those jobs, Facebook needs to pay for the increased cost of living for all those people.
> Instead of the computer having to calculate and render every shadow the projectors will take care of the shadows for the real objects as a side-effect.

I'm not convinced, since the abundance of projectors around the scene is going to create multiple shadows all around - therefore you do have a problem of an innatural amount of shadows, just like on a football field at a night game, with 6 or more shadows around a single person.
And that is before you consider back doors and the like
Good PR. Didn't knew Pusher yet. Am i the only one?
> Does this have to do with the predominance of credit cards in the US otherwise (a relatively uncommon mode of payment where I live)?

Likely, and the same problem exists in European countries with significant CC[0] penetration (e.g. France, or Iceland where cash marks you as a tourist and I've seen people buy a single packet of gum on card): you have to request a quote from a payment processor, the first link I get (EMS) tells me to "request an offer or contact the sales team".

[0] leaving it for posterity, but I actually meant "cards-based payment" rather than "credit card": the payment processor issue applies to both. It is true (in my experience) that euro countries tend to use debit cards rather than credit cards.
Here's a supersized XOR gate made out of supersized XOR gates.
So basically you're saying that asking someone to pay market prices for their house and food, and to accept market prices for the job they are doing is harsh and selfish? Because it seems to me that is what you are saying. If not, please explain better.

And if so, please explain why I, having no family in SF, should be given less consideration than someone who grew up there (possibly several generations). There shouldn't be any interstate barriers (and even if there were - assume I grew up in San Diego. Now what?)
Of course the labor market isn't perfectly free, but it is approximately free, especially in the long run. Price signals do exist. A silly example but it demonstrates the point: if everybody suddenly decided they wanted a massage every day, don't you think the wages for masseuses would go up, ultimately attracting more people to pursue that career? Isn't that a good thing?
Well, I should hope so. That is part of why we link to them.
It is by no means a clear-cut case. Some of the things reported by Marco Polo (e.g. paper money) were completely unknown in the west and middle-east at the time of his purported travels. He gets a remarkable number of things right, and fails to get certain other stuff wrong as one would expect of someone that hadn't actually visited the court of Kublai Khan.

Can I ask what you use your package manager for? My experience on the Mac is that it's mostly used by developers that want to install a package and don't want to have to manually install the 30 other dependencies by hand. For that use case, installing the dependencies along side the module that you actually wanted seems like an eminently reasonable thing to do, and certainly in my case it's pretty much exactly what I want from a package manager on the Mac. I assume if it bugs you that you have a different use case from mine. I would be interested to hear what it is (have I been missing opportunities on my Mac all this time???)

I appreciate you and DannyBee's comments. It is disheartening to me that basic economics is treated here as right wing propaganda. Mainstream economics won against all other theories academically. Yet many otherwise educated people are unaware of fundamentals such as the welfare theorems (or dismiss them out of hands with "muh frictions").
Start off by reading documentation, preferably good. It's not easy, but just as everything else you will get better with practice so you'll have to just write. You can always go back and revise just like your code!
This is personal, but I taught myself how to code, before the internet, and with barely any books. One thing that made, for example, the PHP documentation a lot easier to read vs. Perl was: examples

On an API level, don't just explain what things do, but how to use it, what is the intention behind a particular call or method, and how it integrates with other pieces of the environment. If there are best practices, this is the place to call them out. And it does not need to be a tutorial, but if the class calls for a "usage sample", that is perfect for the documentation.

Pick on these:
1) What decisions did you take for the implementation?
2) What tradeovers are made (this is written like this because ...)
3) How is it supposed to be used
4) What is the common pattern for accessing the resource (instantiate it, factory, singleton, dependency injection?)
5) How does it relate with the rest of the codebase?

Now, this is PHP, but on other languages...
6) Is it Thread-Safe?
7) How cheap is it to instantiate a new object of that type?

Is it really that common to payment with credit card in France? I'm assuming that's only the case in Paris? I regularly buy stuff on card, but always debit if I can help it, and I would assume that that's also the case in the France.

I grew up in The Netherlands and I'm living in Italy now, and credit cards are generally viewed with suspicion. I didn't get a credit card until a few years ago when I needed one to live in the US.

A lot of people that I know are uncomfortable with credit cards. I'm guessing that's because they're associated with fraud; banks here don't make it easy to file reports in general. My card was used fraudulently for the first time a few months ago and it took A LOT of paperwork for my bank to accept that I hadn't made the purchases.

I've always wondered if it's a coincide that Paypal, Square, Google Wallet, Apple Pay etc. are all US-based, or whether it's because they don't address a significant pain point this side of the Atlantic.
> a relatively uncommon mode of payment where I live

This differs a lot within Europe. In Scandinavia cash is really uncommon.

EDIT: Ok, so you're talking about debit versus credit card? That's a different story but then I don't understand how you see Square as US centric. It applies to debit cards as well as credit cards. The reason it won't work in Europe is because most countries here require chip (see iZettle for a competitor with support for chip).

>The SAT might have cultural biases

I believe this is overstated in current versions of the test. I have seen how cultural bias is mitigated on these and other tests, a battery of stats are run on the raw item scoring and if a question is found to disproportionally punish a particular group captured in the demographics section, the question is thrown out of scoring even if the reason isn't clear on review.
