> Most of SV is not in SF...

Yep. Obviously. I hope that you didn't think that I thought otherwise.

From what I've read about the topic, it seems like a few things are true:

* Housing costs are rising radically throughout the Bay Area

* No major Bay Area city is building to meet demand in the area

* Some Bay Area cities (notably, SF, MV, SJ, and others) are actively impeding new residential construction with a variety of pleasant-sounding excuses

It's true that SF's fucked-up housing policy doesn't necessarily mean much for the rest of the Bay Area. However, it's a sad fact that the landowners in much of The Area have -correctly- surmised that they stand to make a shitload of money if they fail to build to meet demand.

Fuck housing that's reasonably priced when there are pockets to be lined and fortunes to be made, amirite? :(
JSF costs are on a downward trend, and will continue that trend as production numbers increase[0]. For a financial breakdown of the projected costs of the program, see [1], [2](actual source for data in [0] and [1]).

And the program is very, very real. I am aware of other programs which really existed to funnel money to more secret programs, but the JSF program is not one of those front programs.

We don't build more A-10s because they no longer meet the projected operational needs of the USAF, which, along with the rest of the military, is changing strategic focus to the Asia/Pacific region. [3] Not to mention the production line is long since shutdown (32 years ago!) and the tooling either destroyed or lost. The knowledge to build them is lost. You do not simply build more. You have to teach yourself to build them again. This would take years.

Better exchanges enable their FIX gateways long before they accept orders. They can signal their willingness to accept orders by sending everyone a message which says "we are open." Consider also that some exchanges trade products with disparate opening times. All the same applies at the close but in reverse. Better exchanges will tell you each of your orders is closed before they disconnect. Worse ones suggest you infer the same.

> however unfortunate for the scientific community at large

Why is it unfortunate? What difference does it make? The units are completely unimportant. Units are a completely arbitrary thing, it's quite irrelevant what you use as long as you know what you are using.

You will never find a real scientist complaining about them, you convert to whatever is easiest for your task and move on. The only people who complain about units are those for which the units make no difference - like the person who you replied to. If those units said any other number would it make event the tiniest bit of different to him? No it would not. That picture could say 6km, or 6leagues and it would make zero difference to him.

It's a form of bikeshedding - people won't talk about anything important because that's too complicated. But the units are easy and make you seem like you are "in the know".

But actually it does not do that, all it does is let everyone else know you have nothing more worthwhile to contribute.

Around 1980, I caused thrashing on SRI's DEC-20 by using the Boyer-Moore theorem prover. I was working on some theorems involving 16-bit arithmetic, and had numbers such as 65536. Those were internally represented as (add1 (add1 (add1 ... (zero))))..., because Boyer-Moore theory is true constructive mathematics. This used enough memory to cause paging.

Boyer and Moore put in an actual integer representation after that. We got our own VAX at Ford Aerospace and ported the prover to that. Then we could get some work done on proof of correctness.

But the location isn't irrelevant and that's the entire point that this article blindly misses. The company may not care that their developer is living in Silicon Valley, but there are a lot of companies that do care and will pay high salaries for him/her. Either the company competes and offers a high salary as well, or it just doesn't get to hire developers from Silicon Valley. It's basic supply and demand.

If you're buying a car and it comes with a high power engine that you don't care about, you still have to pay the premium for the engine. You can't pay less because you tell the seller that you won't utilize the extra power. The car has a higher market price because there are people that will pay extra for the high power engine.

Funnily enough, half of my family are agricultural scientists and often lament the difference between how yield experiments are measured in the US are somewhat incompatible with those from Europe (and likely much of the world). To be fair, this is beyond just "units" - in the US, yield is usually measured by volume, while elsewhere by weight. The two are pretty difficult to convert between, as the weight of a bushel is both dependent on what specific produce it is, as well as its water content. This leads to some loss of collaboration between the two camps.
Your last sentence is pretty key.

It's outrageously difficult for US citizens to bring a case against illegal or questionably-legal domestic use of our foreign intelligence gathering programs, tools, and/or assets.

I actually found more detail was published over the summer.[1] It sounds like getting the necessary information for the replications was surprisingly difficult and this drained the funds. Also, people are leaving the project because they deem the papers too flawed to be worth replicating. This makes it sound like it's turning into a fiasco. Universities putting up legal obstacles to replications, etc:

"Early on, Begley, who had raised some of the initial objections about irreproducible papers, became disenchanted. He says some of the papers chosen have such serious flaws, such as a lack of appropriate controls, that attempting to replicate them is “a complete waste of time.” He stepped down from the project's advisory board last year.

Amassing all the information needed to replicate an experiment and even figure out how many animals to use proved “more complex and time-consuming than we ever imagined,” Iorns says. Principal investigators had to dig up notebooks and raw data files and track down long-gone postdocs and graduate students, and the project became mired in working out material transfer agreements with universities to share plasmids, cell lines, and mice.

[...]

ALTHOUGH ERRINGTON SAYS many labs have been “excited” and happy to participate, that is not what Science learned in interviews with about one-fourth of the principal investigators on the 50 papers. Many say the project has been a significant intrusion on their lab's time—typically 20, 30, or more emails over many months and the equivalent of up to 2 weeks of full-time work by a graduate student to fill in protocol details and get information from collaborators. Errington concedes that a few groups have balked and stopped communicating, at least temporarily." [1] http://www.sciencemag.org/content/348/6242/1411
I do understand that -- I was asking for the in-universe explanation :)
The author is failing to understand basic supply and demand. Just because the company doesn't care that the developer is in Silicon Valley doesn't mean there aren't a ton of companies that do care and will pay a large salary for it. Either you compete with those companies and offer a high salary, or you will just exclude yourself from higher silicon valley developers.

Just because you don't value location doesn't make the location premium any less real. The simple fact is that there is a lot more demand for developers in the bay than there is in South America.

A company could certainly overpay the devs outside of SV so the numbers look the same, but it's fiscally irresponsible.
Nah, it's not that extreme.

It's not more extreme than some objecting to all form of eg euthanasia. (Which is a fairly mainstream view.)

I too had not read much in 2014; physical books. This year I decided to read physical books and have been able to read quite a few.

I would suggest reading some books from 'A Very Short Introduction' series. Each topic is written by an expert in that field; and is about 130-150 pages. I have read books on Marx, Foucault, The History of Life. Next up is Metaphysics; followed by Logic, Planets and Fractals. I am enjoying reading these in a cafe!

There was a startup called Outbox awhile back that was trying to be a proxy service for physical mail- have your mail forwarded to them (or maybe they picked it up manually?) and they digitized it for you. This idea from USPS isn't quite that but a good step in the right direction. Super handy for more transient urban millennials at least.
it's just pictures of the front outside of the envelope. that part is not private, and the usps already can -- and does -- provide that to law enforcement if they request it. So this does not change anything.

What a beautiful intro to assembly programming and reverse engineering. Very minor issues that bother me more than they should:

- Could it be that there is a whitespace missing after the " ◐ " or is the gap in the border intentional?

- X/Z are used in the 'program structure' example without introducing them beforehand (or mentioning 'we will look at these later').

- A real RE report would certainly have mentioned all visible part numbers and the type of I/O controller. Although it is certainly not relevant to the game, it somehow bothers me that the author decided to omit this information. (hmm, maybe this was described in Section 3?)

One of the replies to a Buffer employee's comment caught my attention:

> Perhaps you are (inadvertently) either using location as a lever to underpay employees, or using it as an excuse to overpay people you like but perhaps do not justify the cost for the business?

I think this hits the mark. Companies that push heavily for remote work generally aren't doing it because they genuinely care for the benefits it brings employees. They're pushing for it because it saves them money over operating with an entirely local team (when local means a high market-rate area like SF), precisely because they can discriminate based on location when negotiating salaries.

Well, it's a well known scarecrow tactics from the rest of the parties. They'll all wear horrified looks for a week, tell the voters that Democracy's Future is a stake and so on and so forth, and the sheep^H^H^H^Hvoters will vote for anyone else next week.
That was the case in pretty all the other elections were the far right lead at the first round.

It works really well as a tactic too; if there is a risk of the far right (or the UKIP, or whatever is the pet 'extremist' party in your country) making serious advance, you first /encourage/ the electorate to go for a 'rejection vote' -- and when it works, everyone will look at each others saying 'OMG, what have we done!' and vote the usual complete incompetent at the second round. Pfew, we're all safe again.

The last excellent example of this tactic's implementation was the UKIP rise and fall in the UK; that was textbook.

It should cost almost nothing to implement as they already doing it for law enforcement anyway.
