> low-crime (usually coded as "quiet")

In my case, quiet is not code for low-crime. I meant it literally. I lived for a long time (20+ years) in loud neighborhoods with lots of traffic noise and screaming kids (literally -- one place I lived was next to a house that was used as a day-care center) and mockingbirds which kept me up at night because our house had no A/C so we had to keep the windows open at night. My mantra, literally for decades, mumbled through the mental fog of chronic sleep deprivation, was "I want to live someplace quiet".

> Your suburb isn't going to have decreasing property values without disinvestment, at which point it won't be a nice place to live.

That is far from clear. I don't live in a cookie-cutter-house suburb. I live in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains in what used to be (in the late 1800s) a vacation destination for San Franciscans. If all of Silicon Valley were depopulated I think my neighborhood would still be a perfectly fine place to live.
Yeah - I don't think this would hold up, you can't really have it both ways.

Either you're selling something and taking some responsibility for certain failures, or it's research that you don't want people to use on the road.

This comes across as them selling a product they know could fail in dangerous ways, but they don't want to be responsible for any of it.

Basically, "don't use this on the road" wink wink, but we have millions of miles driven on it and obviously expect you to do so.

I'd think they'd be better off with some sort of honest policy around this that they could actually defend, but I am not a lawyer.
> Anyone know if this has killed someone yet?

> ...Tesla and Uber have killed people but Comma hasn't...

So no then.

This is the correct answer, thank you.
It will be both. The higher performers will have higher employer pool availability driving demand up, the entry-level performers will have higher competition barriers to entry from peers.
Please elaborate on how you do this.
What's your problem? There are both physical items (like shirts and stickers) and a way to donate directly. And Pat provides free links to direct downloads and BitTorrent.
This seems like a non-issue to me, especially in the age of smartphones with personal wifi hotspot abilities.

I am paying for it with a very valuable commodity: my personal information. I have every right to complain about getting the crappy end of the stick when stuff like this happens in the same way you have the right to complain about a crummy contract with AT&T or your roofer.

Just because the currency in question is not (directly) the USD doesn't mean I'm not paying for it.
In my view, decision-making authority shouldn't be based on percentage of ownership, but rather on the context of the decision and the meritocracy of ideas. The ultimate say should be assigned and the CEO should have ultimate decision, but even then the "healthy" way to establish that isn't through a mathematical forumla or a percent ownership, but rather through trust between individuals and agreed-upon roles.

Decision stalemate (or more generally, just spending too much time squabbling over every decision vs. spending time executing) can happen even when it's not 50/50. The key issue isn't equity stake but rather leadership, trust and culture.

My personal view is that 62% of $0 is zero...so don't sweat the equity stakes too much and instead focus on winning.
I wish this could some how be shoe-horned into the current standards. Microsoft, Apple and the OWA aren't known for their speed.
Sugar crash is a good sign. If you stop constantly pumping sugar into your body, your body will eventually starting maintaining your blood sugar on its own -- which is how it's supposed to work.

Starving writers have been known to buy horse meat at pet stores. I wonder if that's still legal? Also, I wonder if organ meats are cheap, since they're so unpopular in the U.S.? They can be very nutrient-rich.

Lentils and rice are incredibly cheap when bought in quantity. Asian grocery stores have great deals, though you might have to look a little harder there to find brown rice. I've heard textured vegetable protein can be a cheap protein source if you can overlook its aesthetic shortcomings (honestly, vegetarianism or extreme frugality are the only reasons to eat it) but the only way I've seen it sold is in a little bag at Whole Foods, which probably isn't that cheap.
a million would let me pay off the loan on my business, and remodel to increase lab space, so i could hire more people, and create more jobs.

so yeah, me and all my filthy capitalist buddies will take the million.
I have no tolerance for products that have ads and I pay for them. Nowadays, a lot of times paying means simple ¨removing¨ ads. This is a product that I can achieve in some ways for free. Why should I both pay for it and experience ads.
> if a user has their upload stream redirected to your service, and for some reason this upload is unable to finish, are we now forced to have the user try the upload again?

If the upload doesn't finish the user needs to redo it.

> It seems one advantage of the two step process would be the ability to try the process again

You got me confused here. If the upload never finished, there is nothing you can do to fix this.

That being said, resumable file uploading is the next thing we'll tackle.
My 5 secs searching says: Plastic Jungle has a $25 req. Card Woo, another competitor, has a $20 min.
Figure out what you want and make it a priority.

I want more things out of life than can be easily prioritized. A million dollars would go a long way towards making it so I wouldn't have to make just one thing my priority.
I would tend to write that:

bool is_foo_possible() {
return test_first_condition()
&& test_second_contition()
&& test_third_condition()
}

I prefer to put my infix operators at the beginning of continuation lines, because that makes it immediately clear from a glance that it's a continuation line.
Because it needs 3G connectivity to be usefull.
The people charging you $40/month (really $100) for a 3year contract will be happy to subsidize a $200 unit
For the game market right now, no, it's not worth $99, because:

1. HTML5, and more specifically Canvas, isn't ready to deliver on its gaming promises yet. Too many slow/incomplete implementations to be fully cross-browser/cross-platform.

2. You will get an almost identical engine with a strong community ecosystem if you use Flixel and a map editor(e.g. Flan, DAME, Wasabi M). And that resulting game will be tailored for the Flash portal market. Here is a perfectly great game made for Ludum Dare 19 in 48 hours in Flixel: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-19/?action=preview... And here is a different LD19 entry that was done with no engine at all, just raw haXe: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-19/?action=preview...

3. In a year it is likely to be obsoleted by engines based around other HTML5 technologies(CSS and SVG make for stronger "general 2D scenegraph" technologies, and WebGL is faster). It's a feature-poor engine - the highlights are the collision system and map editor - and the existing free ones are similar.

If you do buy this engine, it's probably because of ignorance, which in itself is a bad sign. There's reams of game code lying around the internet, and the most important thing isn't having the code but having an understanding of how it works. You are better served by buying a book on engine creation, reading that, and reading open source engine code, than to buy one set of documented engine code and only read that.

The only time this equation differs is when we're talking about features that are not dime-a-dozen and are truly a pain to integrate properly. I would be more impressed if it had one or more of:

* A tightly integrated full-physics engine(in addition to the basic platforming collision)

* Scene serialization/in-game editing

* More of a story for UI code - menus, settings, user profiles, keybind configuration, etc.

* Networking features

* Features for AI design(for example a state machine editor).
I use this feature almost every day, it's really great for me. My girlfriend and I also have only one one cell phone between us at the moment, and we use it to call eachother.
This is so close to being a real-life Kenny Powers highlight video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjvZOh4OzBs).

I realize this guy is immensely talented and probably in the top .0001% of this chosen field... but I laughed the whole time as he roller bladed, jumped and spun while shooting arrows.

When I was young I picked up a book at a friend's house on astrology. I am a Taurus. I mistakenly opened it on another sign thinking I was reading the chapter on what made up a Taurus character. I was reading and nodding my head "wow, this is kind of weird. That is me. I do that. Well, I'm not like that but it's not going to be a 100% fit" After several pages I realized my mistake. And then I realized the Forer effect without knowing what it was or that it had a name.
I don't think anyone can surprise us with something big now. It was easy to come up with a new, revolutionary OS in 80s/90s - you could write one yourself. Right now, anyone writing an OS for the OS itself (not for research) has failed before they start (unless they've got a large experienced team and loads of money to burn). You have hardware you cannot easily access, loads of applications you cannot make a compatibility layer for, etc. etc.

When you created a lisp machine, it was a lisp machine - everyone knew why and how you did it (to some extent). If you wanted to run it, you ported "the program" to it and all was good. Right now you have users expecting at least the stuff they can get from other popular systems - and that's years of work away for any new project.

The best you can probably do, as far as "progress" goes is to create a new research system and port the good stuff back to mainstream (singularity, plan9, etc.)

To some extent we know all there is to know right now... New languages, periferials, usage ideas are still created. But for a new system language you need to either create or port a system and gather some followers. That's a big step.

Edit: Actually I believe that there's a new hardware change coming that will make current computers ineffective in some way. We could switch to new hardware, new languages, new systems... we could start from scratch :) I don't believe the current ways of parallelising computation can do that.. but if someone constructs a concurrent bus/memory/cpu that could invalidate some of the normal programming ideas.
tl;dr: How often should I rotate my ssh keys? More often than never! As often as you can.

As a longtime and frequent user of k8s, I stay away from helm charts. I tried them out when they first got popular but I found they introduced more friction than they solved on the whole.

Not every addon/tool for the k8s ecosystem is worth it. I also don't bother with the ever-growing list of service meshes... not enough value to me for the overhead.

K8s is definitely the simpler alternative for me but there is still a lot of essential complexity in k8s due to the nature of the problems it's trying to solve. Mostly I like building on top of a solid foundation of standardized k8s API objects (pods, services, volumes, etc).

Tldr; Bring in only the add-ons and tools you really need so you don't add more complexity than necessary. Don't get swept up in the hype and marketing from other devs and cloud vendors.
old.Reddit.com Still can’t stand the new ui
Thank you all for responding. It really helped.
I will definitely just give 2 weeks notice and not except anything but what they owe me (yea, they actually owe me a few paychecks). From this perspective I should have left long time ago, but lesson learned.

And regarding the data, I don't really care about it. Yeah, I could sell it, and they could never prove it that I've done so, but I don't want to stoop that low. Not my thing, and even thou they were not fair to me I don't feel like doing that.
Yep, vipassana/mindfulness, anapana, tonglen, tummo, metta (hey! My favorite!), they're all quite different.
Innovation and profits aren’t the only things that matter in life. Unions are the result of the same movement that gave us things like 40-hour workweeks and two day weekends.
Eh. I agree with the sentiment. But you do see how there is a difference between just downloading PDF's and what is referenced in the article? Not at all saying it is sci-hub's fault. And I myself have literally uploaded to sci-hub (ironically, in case my FBI agent is reading this). But it's not equivalent to crack accounts, scrape 45k pdfs as it is to simply upload something you've downloaded.
Interesting read, thank you.

There’s a distinction to be made between excusing bad behavior, but rather they explaining it. The article seems focused on the former, I’m more interested in the latter.

There are intrinsic and extrinsic incentives. I think the important part not touched upon is that for those actors extrinsically motivated (e.g., status, money, etc.) the system incentive will influence behavior much more than those more affected by intrinsic motivations.

The article is right that extrinsic motivations don’t excuse immoral behavior but when morals are lacking external controls are still needed. Developing the right extrinsic incentives provides guardrails for those who tend to lack intrinsic motivation that align. The article seems to think the solution is to “just act morally” which works at the individual level but that’s not really a policy at a system level (especially once we acknowledge everyone doesn’t share the same goals/motivations/morals)
Yea I agree the scope is more manageable than the examples I mentioned.

But even then, they're tackling a very hard problem. Branding, manufacturing, quality assurance, distribution... So many things can go wrong.

I'm not making a prediction but I'm with Ars Technica in the "healthy skeptic" camp. I do hope they beat the odds.
Compiler should be able to figure out at compile time whether the dynamic allocation is needed. But maybe the Go compiler already does this, I don't know.
They look pretty good to me, I just shelled out for a laptop but would love to see the concept take over.

The build quality is always the most essential:
- monitor - this is what we look at for hours on every day
- keyboard - I personally like macbook's perhaps is just being used to them (pre and post butterfly, that one I haven't tried)
- trackpad - every other trackpad I tried besides mbs feel always a bit plastiky, also, no outside keys for the trackpad

Good luck
Which OS will you be able to run?
Oh look NSA had a product launch today.

On a serious note I flirted with installing Messenger several times and couldn't go through with it after facing all the app permissions.

As a platform I wonder if this will follow the same path as the Facebook Games/Apps platform. Rampant use, rise of at least one game company (Zynga), then gradual but consistent desertion.

As a service for businesses, this is interesting and only time will tell how threatening the move is for existing customer support/communications apps. The deciding factor will be how conducive Facebook's network is to customer/brand interaction and if they can be a place for both personal and commercial interactions.
Looks like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) supports it.

How do people to Google Ad conversion metrics without the GA tie in?
This is a great move by the Dart team. There is now a single story for the web development, their efforts can be more focused, and accusations regarding trying to break the web will stop. Win-win-win.

After developing with Dart for quite a while, I can just not see myself going back to JavaScript, the platform is just that much better.

How does Bitcoin continue to have transactions once that limit is met? Arent the miners executing transactions in exchange for Bitcoin?

When there's no more coins to mine, there's no reason for anyone to be running their bitcoin operations. It'll fall to governments? At that point, can't they introduce more Bitcoin?

Folks aren't buying a verified unique token for obscene amounts just to brag about it. They might brag, but many have other reasons to hold an object of such "value" .

Anyone thinking that NFT is anything other than a vanity token for the wealthy and a money laundering mechanism for the same is fooling themselves.
If you board first, you're guaranteed overhead bin space, and you have 20-30 minutes to work before you have to put away your laptop for takeoff. If you're in first or business class, you're often offered a ground service (a complimentary drink), though I haven't seen this since COVID started a year ago.
When developing for microcontrollers and for example my leds aren't working, I like to define a place in memory where I write values to depending on the place in code. Then just read out that memory address with OpenOCD (jtag of swd).

*debugVar = 1;

My home workstation has 32GB and I can remote into that anytime I want from every device that I own, so I tend to lean on that.
Since the consumer traffic to Baidu, that is being told to attack GitHub, comes from outside the GFW, a tier 1 provider could block consumer access to Baidu and stop the attacks (since people can't visit Baidu, and therefore don't have their browsers told to attack github via JS injection).

> lso I don't think it's accurate to say "their networks are being used to attack others".

It's Baidu's datacenter, and Baidu's bandwidth, which Baidu pay for.

> Baidu is in a very bad position (govt-relations wise). Best they can do is report it to some department/police and hope for an answer.

Yep. Or add extra capacity outside China.

You don't want to endure an SCI or a single scope clearance unless you have to. It is not fun at all. My clearance back in the day took over a year before it was finally granted and it involved turning over lots of rocks I would have rather left unturned. NSA and CIA clearances involve a poly, which is an experience one doesn't generally enjoy. Several days in some hotel room outside the Beltway getting drilled over and over again; or so I've heard.
Or you could, oh, I don't know, do what you've always done and go buy products yourself? Or buy a separate button for your product of choice? You don't have to use the built in system.

And there is absolutely no indication it's hardcoded to use a specific product.
Your approach has the added benefit of making it more likely that your resume will make it through HR recruiter screening. I know that having a biochemistry degree instead of a computer science degree has made some HR employees immediately reject my resume -- once I reach a technical interview I do well, but if I don't personally know the hiring manager it can be difficult to reach the technical interview in companies that have a large number of applicants.

In the Netherlands the tagline of the tax authorities used to be "we can't make it funnier, but we can make it easier". Most tax forms are online and pre-filled with data they already have. For most people it's probably a matter of minutes.

"Analogous considerations can be made for the differentiation between functional (i.e., “cradling-while-doing-something-else” such as giving the infant a pacifier) and non-functional (cradling with the sole purpose of soothing/interacting with the infant) holding/cradling as related to handedness, which again we did not consider for the sake of simplicity."

Accounting for something as potentially confounding as handedness would have made this study ... too complicated?
Two points:

a) Age is just a confounding variable. Covid seems to be a "cardiovascular" viral disease rather than a "respiratory" one. For the vast majority of people Covid is unpleasant but not at all dangerous. Figuring out the real factors that make Covid dangerous should have been top priority, but unfortunately it isn't.

b) Flu and "common cold" is, in fact, very dangerous and deadly. We just classify those deaths differently, e.g., as deaths from stroke even though strokes can be caused directly by the "common cold".

Why do we feel compelled to dither on the politization phenomena rather than on finding ways to dig ourselves out?

It's not as if we could go back in time and then decide to retard our development in order to wait for more "humane" ways to achieve progress?

Whatever mess we're in today, I don't think we're in a less desirable place than we were in 1610. And we would not be where we are as a species if we did not go thru the destruction we have inflicted upon ourselves.

Let's look at something analogous in China's rise. Should china have taken a more measured approach to process and thus have another generation or two or more eek out a living barely surviving, or as they have chosen, power through to progress but knowing a good many people would suffer in the convulsion through injustice pollution, inhumanity, " capitalism with Asian values", corruption, etc?

It's not an easy call and there are benefits and drawbacks to either approach. I'm not sure history can educate us on what would have been better, although it can inform us and help us make future decisions with one hopes, better understanding.
In that time homeownership has gone down - those BUYING houses spend less of their income on it, but that’s a smaller and smaller piece.
