The organization you identify later in the thread (Project Appleseed) does not appear to be on any list of militias, "patriot groups", or hate groups published by the SPLC that I can find [2].

The closest evidence thing I can find to anyone from the SPLC identifying Project Appleseed as a militia is a 2010 New York Times article [1] about Project Appleseed in which the article (not the SPLC) spends some time discussing Appleseed in the context of militia and Tea Party movements, and someone from the SPLC -- not labeling Appleseed a militia -- is quoted referring to the possibility that someone from an extremist group would come to Appleseed and learn to be a sniper in a paragraph about that being a threat to (not from) Appleseed.

I do find lots of links to that article on right-wing, pro-gun blogs pointing to this article referring to it being the NY Times and/or SPLC and/or the Jews supposedly behind either or both of those organizations targetting Appleseed, but I don't see any evidence that the SPLC has actually labelled Appleseed a militia.

>Changing the lights and wipers or heating the windows isn’t infotainment and should be dedicated buttons you can find without taking your eyes of the road.

It should be but isn't unfortunately. Also the radio is important, in the US at least driving for hours at a time is pretty normal and you need any tool you can get to keep yourself awake, that includes things like the radio.

>Excellent on touchscreens.

IMO the only thing "Excellent" on touchscreens is scrolling and that's only multi-touch screens which many cars don't have (and you absolutely shouldn't be scrolling and driving, heck have some beer instead of doing that.)
I'm not exactly optimistic either, I just think that the doomsaying is overblown (and sometimes looks like a tribal thing from Apple and AMD fans if I'm being honest - i.e. companies aren't your friends)

Surely product makes these decisions, not engineers, right? I agree that customer empathy is important, but I don't think we can conclude that the engineering team (rather than the product team) is the source of the deficiency?
This is an argument I've never come across before and I'm curious - why does web development require the use of garbage collection? Recent blogs I've seen suggest that at very large scale, garbage collection in languages like Go have severe side-effects, although obviously there's very few of us running at that scale.
In the mid-90's I used to shop in the Wild West-themed Palo Alto store all the time. Where else could you pick up an oscilloscope, clean t-shirt, and bag of doritos all in one shot? This truly is the end of an era.
You could at the very least, leave it to the market, rather than using government policy mostly shaped by older, wealthier people to heap more crap on people who are in less fortunate circumstances.

Where I lived in Italy, you actually had very different homes very close by - big expensive single family units right next to 10 plexes that are far more affordable.

Frankly, I think it was healthier for my kids to go to school there with both some kids from wealthy families as well as Nigerian immigrants. Their schools here are much more homogeneous.

"All too often a single HTTP request will have 4 or 5 database queries in it, and that is regarded as normal."

Is this really normal for a Java app? A typical Rails app (either built by myself or someone else) would have tens of queries in a request and still complete in under 1s. That was my experience with PHP too.
They could block airbnb IP's address if airbnb directly posted the listing. But since it's the user who actually does the posting...

However, craiglist could make life hard for irbnb by changing their form field names. Then again airbnb could probably detect the changes. Probably the best way for craigslist to deter airbnb would be to have a single field at the start of the listing process. :)
I doubt these servers account for the bandwidth, since the article mentions they are using other CDNs for hosting the streaming since CloudFront isn't yet up to the same level.

It's a great way to learn a new codebase if that codebase is well documented and explained to them. Otherwise you're just turning `if (i = 1)` into `if (i == 1)`, which may or may not actually be correct.

My current job had almost zero documentation anywhere, and nobody knew the entire system (or even the over-arching design, which I discovered was none). Which is starting to royally screw them over. And I started with a fairly highly integrated project. I learned it in spite of what I was doing in their system and lack of education for me (ie, zero), not because of it - they wanted things finished, I didn't want to finish them incorrectly.
Sorry about the trouble- Thanks for sticking it out!

Also, gamers are notoriously cheap. Consider WoW players who whine about the servers being down, and their justification: "I pay 15 bucks a month, and they can't even keep the goddamned servers online!? WTF!"

Frustrating, to say the least. $15/mo for (in many cases) 60-80 hours of entertainment per month, if not more for the extremely hardcore.
I am from the Philippines and like India or China we are also part of those outsourcing countries but not that popular though.

Companies in first world countries often think that quality goes down when they are going to outsource their projects. Maybe. But having worked in outsourcing firms (for a decade now) here in the Philippines, we always came across projects that were poorly written too. These projects came from first world countries that were developed by supposed-to-be the cream of the crop of software development. And these are not small companies by the way.

The current project that I inherited in my day job was developed by a company in Europe and it's a nightmare! The other project that I am working as freelancer is from US and I think I need not say more.

Anyway, I am not offended and I totally understand your situation. I hear these comments all time for years now and it's a shame that we all suffer from low quality projects wherever we are.

In the end, it depends.

I made a reflector from the same template a few years back, worked great. The reason it works is it improves both transmit and receive. The reason why a regular consumer AP doesn't come with that sort of antenna is it's directional, basically you trade wide coverage for better coverage over a narrower angle and most people have a hard enough time just standing their omnis straight up.

I believe this is correct. Fear of a snake isn't irrational because it resides in a very primitive part of our brain. But when that fear becomes prohibitive and makes it difficult for you to do every-day things then it has become irrational. That's where exposure therapy can be successful. Its not going to eliminate that primitive fear. That's almost instinct in humans at this point. But it is going to make it so you can watch TV without worrying about seeing a snake on it. Or, rather, make it so you don't care that there's a snake on it I guess.
Yes you do. If the tv is not disabled from receiving terrestrial broadcasts, you need a license.
Yes. Germany, for instance, has a similar system where you pay per TV.
An important point is that focusing on online tools (instead of in-person encounters) improves communication. Everyone is on equal footing in terms of being exposed to conversations.

In-person conversations, while arguably higher-bandwidth, are only shared by the participants. You had to have been there.
Steering was the problem, not a loss of thrust.

I can see it as purely an academic exercise. But what good is inventing a language that nobody else knows? How do we communicate? How do we share code?

Languages are important to the extent that people decide to learn them and use them, and that way lies politics.

They have an awesome software experience, but they buy off the shelf parts and assemble them into cars, just like everyone else. Nothing about that makes it a supercomputer on wheels.

> or changing the service model to allow 3rd party repairs.

I honestly don't understand how the technologist crowd, with its ties to hacker culture, open source, etc, is not at the forefront of a backlash against this model.

Third party repair is critical at keeping the manufacturers honest. This might not matter for a disposable $60 kitchen appliance, but is critical for a $60,000 car.

I mean what is the point of obsessing about the security of the messages if you don't value the messages themselves?

Some people[1] clearly value message history far beyond the transfer point to chat itself, and making people choose between being spied upon and not having message history, I think many people will choose trusting that they won't lose their messages.

As far as I understand, TCO can't be applied in all situations so it may be risky to rely on it. If you need to rely on in (meaning that your program breaks if it's not applied, as opposed to just being a bit slower), then shouldn't the language provide a way to enforce it? That is, the language semantics specifies O(1) memory for tail recursion, for example. If it does not, you are just up for a guessing game and things will break in unexpected ways and moments.
Minor point, but seeing "1-2-1" in your comment is strange to me. I've only ever seen it as "1:1" or "1-to-1".
Great, as though it wasn't enough to have the Google HR and PR departments enforcing totalitarian liberalism on the masses, now we have the new voice of the Alphabet Worker's Union with outsized amplification drawing the company even more leftward.

Imagine going back to the heyday of unions - not unions for people making 1%'r salaries in an incredible position of gilded privilege like these Googlers are, but unions for actual working people fighting for basic work-life balance - and telling them that in a hundred years, workers making top-tier salaries will be pushing to restrict freedom of speech because it makes them mildly uncomfortable.

I cannot imagine being such a weak-minded individual as to be bothered when someone I do not like or agree with is posting videos and comments. What small-souled people these must be, to not be able to simply close the browser window and go and spend some time with their family, perhaps doing something real in the world, instead of obsessing about trying to shut down something half the nation wants.

I’m not blaming anyone. I think it’s an interesting situation in the same way that oxygen rich atmosphere becoming a thing on earth led to interesting results. The market system is clearly broken. You need not look further than GME for evidence of that. Either GameStop has been undervalued by everyone for years at $5/share and is really worth $50/share (where it is today), which would mean the market is broken. Or GameStop is currently worth 10x what is its true value which means the market is broken. Its sole purpose is to help us efficiently determine how much each company is worth and allow us to trade them. And here we have a situation where nobody can argue (I don’t think) that the market is doing a good job at efficiently determining how much GME is worth, and trading it has a decidedly one-sided advantage towards hedge funds vs retail investors.

My only observation is that while I don’t know what long term effect WSB will have on the market, I think in the short term a lot of retail investors will lose their shirts as collateral damage.

I see that slightly differently. Oracle is huge in government, world-wide. But while it used to be "Oracle is the answer. What was the question again?", there's a shift towards F/OSS, open standards, and commodity hardware. This hurts Oracle. And yes, the exact same thing hurts Microsoft, too.

Microsoft, however, have three products that will ensure their continued profitability[1] - Excel, Exchange and (probably most importantly), Active Directory. This is over and above their insanely cohesive ecosystem, from SCCM all the way to Dynamics.

Active Directory is so critical because of the vast amount of legacy code that depends on it. Want to guess how many fortune 500 companies rely on AD?
