It's like you're describing the separation of governance by domain. For instance, instead of having a mayor for a city, we'd have a mayor of telecommunications or technology, along with a mayor of transportation, a mayor of housing and civil engineering, and a mayor of commerce.

These problems pop up with my example:

* You still need someone to centralize the execution; people are going to want a hierarchy and to have one person at the top.
* Having 5 mayors means paying 5 times as many people (but they'll be able to work much more in depth in their subject area)

If you reduce those mayors down to city council members, and have another mayor, it resembles the system in place in many layers of bureaucracy.

Why? I've always found it to be pretty good.
Yeah, I remember wanting to do a fan-out pattern in Go and reading the Go Pipelines and Cancellation article[0]. I saw the function merge() in the article and thought, "Great, here's what I need!" I then proceeded to read further and saw that I have to define this function myself based on the types I'm using, which made me quite sad.

Go really needs a library for these patterns built in... I assume the lack of generics prevents users from creating that themselves (I'm not trying to start a language war here, seriously).

"I worked at Google so treat me differently" shows up several times in this article.
I think it is a terrible summary, but I'll assume it's because of a failure to communicate on my part.

(3) does not follow from (2) and (1) together. What does follow is a need to analyse the argument further. I didn't make this analysis, I only sketched it in broad outlines. Let me put out my thoughts in a different way:

A) There is no causal link established between measured sex-linked variation in humans and social organization in humans, beyond the obvious one that the distribution of physical size and strength is strongly bimodal and this can be observed as an underlying basis for many social relationships.

B) And yet, the argument is made. The argument is made and it is presumed to be rational, objective, air-tight, and deductive. In fact, it is an abductive argument: It claims that sex-linked variation is the most likely and simplest basis for the observed social organization that leads to the stratification of society based on binary genders in bourgeois society.

I am specifying bourgeois society and assuming we are talking about modern capitalist societies, because that's the one I live in and the one I have most to gain in analyzing, and also the one whose ideology and real power dominates the planet as a whole.

C) I can accrue a great deal of data that demonstrates corroborated observations that the dynamics of gender in bourgeois society are actively maintained through institutional and systemic structure. This data ranges from the scientific, collected in aggregate, to the personal experiences of a diverse group of individuals.

A huge amount of human effort and ideology goes into gender as a social structure. This expenditure of labor and thought is prescriptive in nature, not descriptive. The argument being made neither explains their existence nor their dynamics because it solely describes variation at a very basic level between human beings. If human beings just naturally organized themselves along the gender lines we see, there would be no need for institutions, social mores, and propaganda to maintain those lines. What we see historically though, is that these lines were drawn by human hands, then dug out, then built upon with concrete, and then stringed up with barbed wire. The argument does not take this historical and sociological context into account and does not even try to exempt our present societies from that context.

D) This situation is incongruous. The argument is not only given more strength than it merits, its conclusions are essentially determined within the philosophical framework it is formulated in, and further it does not account for social and personal observations about gender dynamics. A criticism of the underlying ideology that produces and reproduces this argument is required. I conjecture that the underlying ideology is neoliberal rationality and sketched what that means.
> the cost of founding a biotech startup is dropping precipitously. If current trends continue, biotech companies will soon be founded in garages, funded off their founders’ credit cards.

Trivial marginal cost to start a company is a disruptive triumph for sure, financially supporting the founders basic human needs is now the primary obstacle. And of course he that hath wife and children have given hostages to great fortune.

Having no full time employment responsibilities on your horizon is the greatest boost in cognitive and creative power I have ever experienced. I made a mad dash to get a hardware product built and funded before my small savings stash was depleted, but missed the mark.

I had to go back and get a job so that the mission could continue. Going back to solving other peoples problems feels like a lobotomy.

The distraction of full time employment is immense and soul crushing. I was living in a house of science and beautiful innovation, and I hit a brick wall. But of course to paraphrase Russel Brand, god and a lack of liquidity is my enemy, just obstacles to clamber over and damage to route around.

Luckily my product is something people want and get excited about and now that I've proven it works seed funding is now on the way, but goddamn what a bummer running out of runway is.

When the world wakes up and humans get over their miserly aversion to sharing, and realize a guaranteed basic minimum income is in their own enlightened self-interest we will really cross the threshold and reach the innovation singularity.

You're coming at this from the wrong direction, namely virtualization.

What differentiates Docker is not virtualization, so much as package management. Docker is a package management tool that happens to allow you to execute the content of the package with some sort of isolation.

Further, when you look at it from that angle, you start seeing the flaws with it, as well as it's potential. It's no accident that Rocket and the Open Container Project are arising to standardize the container format. Other, less-well-known efforts include being able to distribute the container format themselves in a p2p distribution system, such as IPFS.

I did mean higher than, but that is because I incorrectly included the overhead of front running in the expense ratio when I think it would actually manifest as a failure to track the index. Some total market funds end up being a hair pricier (VTSAX and VFIAX are both .05% right now).

Still, if you look at VFIAX it tracks the index perfectly despite front running so it is still nothing to worry about. The amount of money in index funds is large so there is room for a few people to make some money without a big impact. There is some deviation that is significant around the 35 year mark, but do we even know that front running is the cause?

My understanding is that in practical terms weighting shouldn't matter for indexes for the most part since you should only have to buy/sell when funds enter/leave the index (that is the bug). The weight should track without any active trading because it's based on market cap. You buy it and if the market cap increases so does the holding and if it decreases so does the holding. No need for trading.

Now if you want equal weighting among the 500. Well that is an issue. It's one reason not to buy an equal weighted fund.

I know people are thinking of other more problematic indexes than the S&P 500. I don't because I don't buy them so I haven't given a lot of thought to what front running means to them. My investment objective is to hold the entire investable space weighted by market cap (modulo currency risk and home bias) and most indexes play no part of that.

They do, but Vanguard (and probably other fund companies) take a number of steps to help prevent frontrunning. For one, Vanguard recently moved its benchmark provider to FTSE Group (CRSP) for many funds, which takes more of an averaged trade-price approach to determining weights. They also delay trades and "packet" securities between indexes and buffering small changes in market cap from predicting trades.

It's not impossible for someone to squeak some money out of the predictability of an index, but it's not something that makes a ton of material difference with a company like Vanguard.

I agree with every single thing you've written here. My only point was that the Victoria situation was not at all the reason the hate-squad (who issue death-threats instead of talking about the issues) started hating on Pao - it's just another bullet in their misogyny gun.

The mods/subs going dark is another thing, and was not at all addressed by my original comment.
Well, I'm on the fence... I'm not a great reader on the piano (I'm terrible) but I can read well enough to play gigs on the upright bass.

On on hand, my reaction was the same... I am usually trying to decide what chord I'm supposed to be playing at a given moment and to decipher what the bass and melody are doing... so this is more like a typing exercise where you do random typing.

On the other hand, I don't read much for the piano and all I can play are those patterns... I have 10 or so bass patterns and know how to come up with inversions of all the chords without thinking, so it is easy to play some elton john tune but very difficult to read beginner bach. Being forced to play a combination of notes that aren't already in my musical vocabulary sounds like a good way to learn to read.

Maybe there is a common ground where, like typing tutorial software the trainer generates somewhat normal musical patterns in a random fashion.

The communist countries placed a greater emphasis on gender equality in workforce.

They also give the individual very little choice in their future career, while the final assignment is based predominantly on (at least in the case of China) the outcome of a single test.

So while it differs from the American process, I don't think you can hold it up as a correct normative solution.
Build / release engineering.
You don't have to reach into science fiction to see this. The concept of biopower outlines how modern ideologies mold human life to their structures.

Feminism has always been allied with radical and revolutionary biopolitics. It does not need eugenics and futuristic bioengineering to be so. Furthermore, the idea that feminists give a shit about sex-linked variation is nonsensical and I really hope I did not give that impression in my parent comment. It's quite the opposite. The whole point I was trying to make was that feminists don't care about this level of difference, that their ideology is engaged at the structural level of society and that this engagement is completely unintelligible without deeper criticism.
> > Go is 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than Ruby, and much easier to write concurrent code in.

Given the nature of orders-of-magnitude comparisons and the lack of Ruby implementations that are even one order of magnitude faster than MRI, "...than Ruby" is reasonably accurate if "...than MRI Ruby" is at all accurate.

> The advantage wouldn't be as much if Ruby designers cared to add AOT compilation in the same vein as Dylan or Common Lisp to the canonical implementation.

Maybe, though that's unproven. AFAIK, actual Ruby implementations with AOT only seem to gain about a factor of 2 improvement, not an order of magnitude.

No, but it's hard (for many) to actually find work then negotiate a price. And for certain types of problems that people want to work on, there won't be many non-employe openings. Dealing with large bodies of sensitive data, for example, would be one I'd think it'd be harder to find consultant positions - not impossible, but more difficult.

Licensing fees and tech made for large slow enterprise teams.

I've seen the shops that have C# or Java as their backend and they move too slow to be a competitive threat. If their frontend is written in Ruby/Rails or Python/Django then maybe they have a chance against the competition but usually they'll be held back by the slow progress made on the backend.

For some reason the big slow enterprise mindset gets transmitted through the choice of language. Companies that use Scala or some other JVM-based language are less likely to be enterprisey for example.

Licensing fees and management are a big deal for Microsoft.

It all relates to the enterprise vs hacker mentality.
They already ban encryption on ham radio... :(

This bugged me too, but ham is already not general purpose. I've come to accept it as the cost of preventing a disallowed uses of the ham bands inside an impenetrable envelope of allowed use.

And besides, it's usually possible (but less fun) to set up (or use existing) radio networking links in different bands.

"We can't hire 3D graphics people"

"I'm teaching myself 3D graphics"

There's more than a hint here. It's not hard to hire competent people and then give them space to grow. As engineers, that is what we want, to grow, challenge yourselves. And it is the only way that experience occurs. If you as a company are not willing to invest in that, don't be surprised when people don't walk in your door and agree to do exactly the same things they've done 5x already, with no opportunity for growth.

I'll take a job that offers great opportunity and a mediocre salary any day. The vice versa not so much.

My answer is "yes, they are sufficiently high DPI."

a) if it truly is "retina," then your eye can't distinguish pixels smaller than it, so subpixel text is meaningless.

b) Laser printers started at 300 DPI, at 1 bit of color and even now have pretty much settled on 600 DPI, still usually 1 bit of color. Retina displays are about 300 DPI with 8 bits of color (in black and white). So, roughly comparable to a laser printer.
