"So the technlogical improvements in earthquake safety since the 1960s are simply irrelevant for most residents. They're living an ancient, unsafe homes."

That's a nice theory, but it's wrong. The city is requiring buildings to get retrofitted with earthquake safe structural foundations. It's every building with greater than a few units, so the rather small 100+ year old Victorian I'm in will be required to go undergo retrofitting by 2017.

just do it, and don't worry about the laws. The companies only know what your release or tell them. If you ever get to the point of profitability or traction to raise, then at that time get a lawyer to help you figure it out. Until then just move forward.
Based on my knowledge those numbers are off.

In terms of what we can talk about publicly, Google had a search deal with MySpace that was worth $900m over 3 years. Your quoted numbers combined over the three years the contract was in effect barely reflect that. And the Google deal was just for remnant advertising - MySpace made a solid income selling display advertising, 'take over homepages' (worth $$$), etc.

Hey, Tim Erickson here, one half of the team that built this. Feel free to ask me any and all questions.

We built this in a weekend because we we're constantly emailing links to each other, family members, colleagues and friends. The problem was, the emails didn't provide much context unless we took the time to copy and paste a segment of the article, or an image. The Urld does this automatically.
This series is breathtaking. I don't think I've experienced anything beyond what beer does- this is a fascinating experiment to see from the first frame to the last. Thanks for the link.

Is that to suggest that regulated banks (or any kind of government-regulated institutions) don't ever rip people off or otherwise engage in criminal or fraudulent activity? Or is your point that this type of corruption is innate to any system involving humans?

I for one am just interested in its potential as a technology foremost; this isn't about mistrust of the government for me.
The text implementation is a mess. I'd be shocked to find out that HTTP as specified is actually compatibly implemented. Moronic things like comments in header values and line wrapping show how far detached the spec authors are from implementation reality.

Text implementations are expensive to parse. You end up doing a lot of nutty hacks (like bitwise operations a word at a time, on strings) just to have good speed. Doing so safely requires a lot of branches. A binary protocol will be easier, more compatibly implemented, safer and far faster to decode. Look at nginx code to see examples (and that's a good codebase).

Debugging, yeah, it's sometimes handy to run tcpdump and see problems. But s/tcpdump/tshark and it's essentially a solved problem. The vast, vast majority of HTTP messages are machine written and read, optimizing for humans is misguided.

And yes, I'm bitter about this, as I'm on my third project implementing a SIP stack. SIP shares HTTP's general format, with tons of added insanity for fun. Like UDP/TCP hopping based on the spec author's misunderstanding of IP reassembly. I've lost weeks of my life due to idiotic spec writers just going off and making stuff up. Cause hey, in a text document, there's no actual technical debt to be paid, no actual real world problems.

Google's approach with SPDY is far better than most of what the IETF has been able to put out.
Did you watch the video?

The comment about half the height of the door was in reference to how far the folded panels extend HORIZONTALLY into the garage. The folding process never goes above the top of the mechanism which looks to be less than 10 inches above the top of the door.
Doesn't work well for trucks or vans in shallow garages, where the rear of the vehicle ends up very close to the door.
Enter to rename is the most logical choice for the Finder, an app that manages files.
From the client's point of view that may be true; abstraction should be the process of pushing complexity down. But in this case I think we're talking about code that has inadvertently introduced unnecessary complexity in an attempt to be hyper-generic.
This is a false dichotomy. You'll run into all sorts of pain and frustration as soon as Spark touches your codebase, no matter what kind of Scala you're writing.
Your theory jibes with my own account at the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam. I asked one of the tour guides if he was an American expat, and told me he just watched a lot of “Full House” growing up as a kid.
I could be wrong, but I think using separate filters distributes the air streams across independent filtration channels, reducing the static pressure of the system. Similar to a pleated filter, the angular orientation is probably about packing more surface area into a smaller space vs. parallel filter channels oriented linearly.
Super great comments. Our class is split between the breathwork and then also traditional Vipassana or Insight style meditation. One of the reasons we don't typically describe it as "breathwork" is for the reasons you highlight and have been raised in other comments regarding how the Gof breathwork is supppppper intense. Our method is MUCH more tame and approachable - fitting for a daily practice -- vs when I've done the Grof style I feel completely wiped (in a good way sometimes) but not something Id like to do more than once every few months. All to say - we try and stay away from calling it breathwork because people either 1) think its Grof and are freaked out or 2) think its chill yogic breathing like you do through the nostrils in a yoga class and that’s misleading too. We also have grappled with if we should call it meditation and have decided for the time being that yes - it helps people context set - and the way we use the breath (which is different than the full blown Grof version) together with the beat of music and teachers voice is similar to meditation in that you have an "object of focus" you train the mind to stay on. Would love to hear if you have any ideas for what else to call it - cuz we totally have gone back and forth on this topic.
Why does it matter what happens to your machine?

The big corp I work for has no issue with any of this so I genuinely don’t understand the motivation for this restriction.

Your machine shouldn’t have anything important on it and if it does I’m not sure that root/non-root will protect you from that.
In a healthy organism, damaged cells may be forced to kill themselves (apoptosis) before they do any harm, or killed outright by NK cells during their surveillance patrols.

There are corrective mechanisms that animals including humans use to control cancer; even if a cell mutates into something dangerous, it does not mean that a malignant tumor follows.

Mice, who have much fewer cells than humans, get cancer much earlier than we do. Elephants and whales, whose cell count exceeds that of humans by several orders of magnitude, seem to be actually less prone to cancer than humans are.

This is all about the ability of the body to squash individual cancerous cells or smallish tumors into nonexistence before they have a chance to take hold. As long as this self-defensive mechanism works, everything is fine.

I'd settle for an iPod nano watch if one of these strap makers incorporated a bluetooth adapter into the design. The pieces exist (nano, watch strap/case, bluetootn adapter, bluetooth headphones) but they don't fit together propery yet—and Apple will probably render it obsolete next year. All the nano watch strap designs so far are merely fashion items and actually reduce the usability of the devices.
Burglargard looks pretty cool. But I'd definitely have to re-evaluate fire exits before I installed, the last thing I'd want is for the entire family to burn to death because I was trying to save a few thousand dollars in property which is insured and replaceable.

Door frames and window frames are a common source of intrusion, but if your frames are made out of wood then I don't know if the 6" screws are going to save you, the wood is often a source of failure rather than coming unscrewed. It just splinters away.

As to Havenlock: many back doors are slide, and can be bounced out of their runs. It might help on the few which are swing doors rather than slide (at least around here). I think the whole app thing is kind of dumb, it is just a wedge, and still requires drilling into the floor.

> With email, you're right that POP/IMAP on a dedicated box is preferable from a security standpoint.

This depends on your threat model, and I'd argue that this statement is untrue for the vast majority of people, even people who have the technical know-how required to run their own email server. Running an email server, keeping it up to date with the latest security patches, managing SSL certificates, blocking spam, blocking malware, and blocking phishing attempts are all things that Google is better at than you. Part of the reason for this is their access to incredible volumes of data, which lets them analyze trends and emerging threats across an relatively large subset of the email-using population.

The average user's threat model is much more along the lines of phishing, malware, or spam-related fraud. Google is incredibly good at protecting people from these threats (as is obvious when I compare the volume of spam, which often contains malware or phishing links, that I receive on my Gmail account against my other, non-Gmail accounts).

Of course, if your threat model is that you require protection from law enforcement or government surveillance, then Google may be a poor choice as they are legally obligated to turn over information about you that is requested by such entities. If that is your adversary, however, than you should have a lot more work to do to protect yourself than just quitting Gmail and setting up your own mail server.
Perhaps we misunderstand one another.

VBA and VBE being replaced with Python would require so much work... and there is a crazy amount of code out there doing an equally crazy amount of work too.

All the points I put here are why doing that replacement work doesn't really add much value.

Which is why VBA is still a thing.

It's not an inability to believe it's true. It's more being burnt out by ritualized concern. It comes from seeing something awful that we're all supposed to be concerned about, listening to people beat their chest about it, and then the next day it's something else and those people have moved on to that and forgotten about yesterday's crisis.

I think it is indeed becoming an echo chamber. Everyone is holing up in their own little everyone-else-is-wrong silos including MSM, it's not just the fringe. There are a group of academics across the aisle from one another trying to fight it but I think it's a battle they can't win. Talks at universities cancelled because someone, who wouldn't even be going is "triggered", stories like this from the NYT, deplatforming people forever, etc.

I think it’s optics that prevent the US from doing this. Too many people are convinced that plastic is highly recyclable and burning it would be wasteful.

I think people too often Go for the recycle (get it out of my sight) instead of the reuse and reduce angles of the conservation triangle.

My father was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer in 2007. He died in 2010 at the age of 60. I was 25. He too had multiple surgeries, chemo, radiation, etc. While we here in Canada don't pay directly for treatments, there was the cost of missed work, medical supplies, and the like. The following is directly, and deeply, informed by my own very personal experiences with cancer:

Let her die.

Chemo isn't going to save her, and it sure as hell won't improve her quality of life. It will give you maybe an extra year to watch her fade away before your eyes, and will inflict all manner of pain and discomfort on her in the process.

Your mother is going to die, far sooner than either of you would wish. That's unavoidable. What you do have control over is the quality of her life in her last few months, and in the effect that her passing has on the people she cares about. You can control how you spend what time you have left, but you have precious little control over how much of it you have to spend.

I'd suggest reading How Doctors Die[1], a take on how those who have the most experience with cancer and its treatments choose to deal with it. Generally speaking, they don't.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I watched my stepmother tear herself apart refusing to accept the inevitable and pushing for every last available treatment. The extra six months or so that may have afforded him are not a six months I would wish on anyone.

You are going to lose your mother, and it will break both of your hearts. Pumping poison into her and bankrupting your family won't change that. Make your peace, and let her go.

I moved to Iceland a year ago, and brought my PC and my laptop with me. I am confounded by icelandic (nordic in general) keyboards. I can understand their use for a non-technical person, but even keys such as @ are obscured behind "Alt Gr" which is a secondary right side only alt-key? And the position of braces, brackets, and parantheses is also clearly an afterthought. Obviously, years of muscle memory are hard to replace, so I've continued to use my US keyboards.

But there's a problem. I want to spell people and places' names correctly, and on my PC that means I have to swap input locales often in order to type proper icelandic characters like ð, ö, þ, æ, í etc. This is annoyingly hard on a keyboard that doesn't support them natively! I will give apple some credit here - it's incredibly easy and intuitive to type foreign characters on a US keyboard just by holding down 'i' for example, if you only occasionally need to use them. Windows requires you to either learn the old-school way of holding alt, and typing the ascii code on the number pad, or hot-swap input languages. I know German uses far fewer unique characters, but how do you cope with that problem when you need German characters like.. sharp S, oumlaut, etc?

From the statement, "In addition to further harming already marginalized communities, these charges could be used to brand as terrorists people who protest against government injustices by engaging in civil disobedience or actions that result in property damage."

Clearly demonstrated this summer, when these people [1] were charged with crimes punishable by life imprisonment. One of their charges had a 45 year mandatory minimum sentence. What sense does it make to create more Draconian laws? According to a former AUSA, "It's batshit... and I'm a pretty law-and-order guy."

> The lesson here is to condemn all rioting, set expectations that are equally applied to all segments of society.

I can't agree with this more. Through this event and what happened last year I can see how incredibly bias the media is when portraying protests and riots. During BLM, there's barely any coverage on the looting and destruction caused by "protesters" on mainstream media. There was a very clear attempt to downplay the severity of these actions.
>But I think my point is clear: there are oodles of places you can write and post whatever you want.

Awesome, so we agree there are oodles of places BLM and leftists can protest that are not high traffic roads, freeways, main streets, federal courthouses, etc. They can protest in the Mojave desert, they won't be censored there.

>I'm certainly against "wrongthink" ... There's wrong, there's false, there's stupid. There isn't any wrongthink in my conception of the world.

Awesome, so we both agree with the objective fact that Blacks commit more violent crimes per capita than any other race. That's a fact, that's neither wrong, false, nor stupid.

What I meant by sera above was general adaptive immunity. It's likely to partially resist past immunity from both vaccines (esp. from the spike-only vaccines: moderna, pfizer, etc) and natural infections from older strains. We'll probably know a lot more about it soon, but we may need to update our vaccines to include this mutant class.
Speaking from California, the only change we could make is convincing law enforcement to enforce the rules (they won't) and changing the bizarre vaccine restrictions that are leaving 75 percent of our doses in a freezer while thousands who are offered it say no thanks.

A massive percentage of the public has decided to give up on safety protocols and if Thanksgiving and Christmas didn't change any minds, why would this?

What good did terrorizing the people who are already following the rules with this variant panic do? "THE VACCINE MIGHT NOT WORK NOW!" only scares people who want the vaccine. The media frenzy around the variant did absolutely no good.
Except Trump can't call a press conference; not really. He hasn't been able to stand up to sustained real press questioning for years. That's why there have been essentially zero real press conferences at the White House lately.

> Property tax rates rise WHEN YOU HAVE MADE MONEY ON THE HOUSE. It's as simple as that.

That’s not how property taxes work. You pay them whether you make money on the house or not.

You only make money on a house when you sell it.

> We're talking about millionaires, not vulnerable victims.

This makes no sense.

Buying or owning a house doesn’t make you a millionaire. Most people take out large loans to do so, and generally their net worth goes down at the point when they do so because of the costs.

Purchase prices may go up, but they also go down when the economy weakens.
