Speaking as an advocate for the cause, I can assure you that isn't it. Wealth doesn't grant vision. Most wealthy people have exactly the same biases and preconceptions about aging as everyone else.

If it was otherwise, it wouldn't be at all hard to raise funds for initiatives like the SENS Research Foundation's program aimed at medical control of aging. As it is, the number of the ultra-wealthy who have supported this cause is well below 1%, and those have been fairly cautious investments in the grand scheme of things, e.g. those by Peter Thiel.

What is happening at the moment is an initial tipping point of sorts across the entire population in the realization that, hey, treating aging as a medical condition is plausible. Researchers have been saying this for a decade, with increasing volume following the pro-longevity faction winning the cultural battles within the scientific community, but it takes time to bootstrap a movement and get to the point at which Prudential puts up posters suggesting that people should think about living to 150. We may not even be at the main 10% support tipping point yet in the broader population.

A recent Pew study suggests that the majority of people continue to believe that the current state of things is the best state of things, and they don't want live longer because people don't live longer. People want to be slightly better than their peers. Live to 90, because that's a little more than what other people have on average. Be more healthy as you decay into death, because that's a little more than other people have. Stasis is the default opinion, which has always struck me as crazed given the tangible, obvious pace of progress in technology that we are living through.

In the end this is no different than any other field of human endeavor. It takes unreasonable visionaries to force beneficial progress down everyone else's throats, and once done everyone else agrees that it was self-evident and obvious.
That wasn't all that happened though. The arrest happened in July, and then in September, when he appeared at the Video Music Awards, he was given a standing ovation. He was making a comeback until 2002, when he was wrongly arrested on child pornography charges, and then retired to take care of his father.

I think after having his reputation ruined twice was enough to convince him to lay low.

Do you disagree with the measurement of liberty, done by the libertarian Fraser Institute (by Wilkinson's former Cato colleagues)? Because if you accept it, then yes, in fact there is more liberty Denmark, Canada or Sweden, because of heavier taxation on the middle class (relative to the US).

Have you ever been poor? Then perhaps you will understand how not having access to affordable health care, or good public transit viciously limits your liberty.

I can't wait to use a Servo (and Rust) based multi-process browser with a lean HTML5 UI. We wait for E10s since 2011 or so, and it still defaults to 1 process and is experimental. The whole XPCOM and XUL legacy API cruft do hurt Firefox. Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox originally started as a lean fork of the Mozilla Suite, with a lot of old cruft removed. Nowadays, I wish there would be a new leaner fork, that kisses the old cruft good bye and starts fresh with Servo and TraceMonkey.

Maybe Mozilla should refocus all resources to Servo and Rust... All what people expect from Mozilla is a lean modern fast independent open source browser.

Leptin signal blocking counts for something...
That is not a fair assessment of the situation. There are a number of factors that have been put in place by the populace and government agencies to force this situation in the bay area:

1. Rent Control: This forces an incentive not to move. If you are in the 4-bedroom house at $1,500 a month for the past 15 years, a comparable 4-bedroom house is now $6,000. There is no incentive to move and owner's have little incentive to bring up to standard something they are not going to get an ROI on. In this instance, Prop 13 actually makes the situation bearable for the landlords, think if the costs went up and your return stayed static.

2. Building Restrictions: Between the historical board, local populace anger to building, and zoning enforcement, the bay area's supply has been static while demand has increased. There are workarounds, but they border on illegal (i.e. the guy who turned a storage closet into a baby's room for additional space); essentially sub-dividing up existing property.

Within the Bay area, the ability to move a demand curve down has not existed, so the prices have risen to meet the existing supply. Prop 13 has no direct effect on these two items except a positive effect for the landowners in reducing the tax burden that would have forced early bankruptcy for them because of the rent control.
Google should partner with Watsi [1], who is already working on funding third world healthcare.

Google did bet on healthcare once before. I don't know if you remember, but they noped out of that after about 2 years, and Microsoft noped out shortly thereafter IIRC.

Once you nope out of something so suddenly, it becomes difficult to convince the market that you're serious about it this time.
From that site:

"Land Registry will decide if your application is valid and will let the property owner know. The owner has 65 days to object - your application will usually be automatically rejected if they do."

So basically you'll only get to stay if the property is effectively abandoned.
I rarely put much stock in Google products. Their approach seems to be to get a decent idea off the ground, then turn it over to the masses to use and figure out and suggest how they can make it better.

This usually means no support whatsoever. While I can appreciate the whole, "Post something in our forum!" approach to customer service, I can't tell you how many times I've posted a question about a product or a bug and get fucking crickets for MONTHS. I gave up a long time ago thinking it was going to get better.

When I see a new product they release, I'll kick the tires and test drive it, but no way am I even remotely putting enough confidence in it to use it on any of my projects. It's just too risky.

> Between insurance companies, doctors, hospitals, patients, governments, and every middleman inbetween

You can eliminate middlemen if you can show cost reductions for a player larger than the middleman. The big players are providers, payors and technology (pharma/device) companies. Plenty of middlemen in between those that can be made irrelevant.
> Which is not a premise we should automatically accept without question or criticism.

Yes, but it's a different question. If it makes sense to reduce the tax revenue you can generally lower taxes for all products. I'm concerned with the distribution of where taxes need to be put, not the amount.

> This didn't reduce taxes on the Internet; it makes a statement that new taxes will not be added to the Internet.

I'm not sure how it works in the US, but in the EU services (including internet access) are generally taxed with a VAT, just like every other product (excluding those with exceptions).

> Also worth noting that the economy is not a static set of transactions where taxes can be raised and lowered in proportion to keep tax revenue static.

There certainly are large fluctuations, but in the long term states try to balance expenditures and (tax-)income. When the scope of what the state does grows usually new taxes get introduced or taxes get raised.

> And that shouldn't automatically result in an effort to start taxing the new thing.

I say exactly the opposite: you can use taxing to make people buy more of something (some new tech you want to push) or less (e.g. cigarettes).
Just FTR: This was an issue for me too.

EDIT: It wasn't my problem per se, but one of my users who had a problem downloading things for at least "several" hours. As this project isn't very popular to start with that's a comparatively huge loss.

Interesting, I didn't know that most appliance production happens in Poland. I was trying to find a general way of noting the production relationship between the US and China, but I know not everyone here is from the US and not all countries ship manufacturing off to China. Maybe the "foreign" country remark was a bit too general.

Obviously there will always be a cheapest place to manufacture things, but seeing the difference from when things were manufactured "in-house" in the US years ago and how they function now, it's night and day. People are sold on features, not longevity...but I would much rather have fridge that lasts 30 years and keeps my food cold than one that orders new food online when I'm out and breaks after 2 years and can't be repaired.

I want there to be a more realistic balance between cost and longevity so the things we put so much resources into building don't just end up in a landfill two years after their creation. We're offsetting economic costs in exchange for environmental costs. It's an enormous debt that we'll have to pay back soon.

"said that it was impossible to tell whether a pull request was ignored out of bias, or just because a project owner was busy or knew another developer personally."

This is exactly what I've been saying. Open source projects are very political and studies like this don't really show sexism, it shows favoritism.

This is what happens when each project is essentially a dictatorship with a small group of leaders that can pick and choose commits.

We should be striving for more of a meritocracy, rather than favoring someone because we like them.

The same thing happens with political beliefs as well.

Quick answer from the article:

>In a litigious society, and particularly in the aftermath of many of the class action and civil lawsuits of the late 90s and early 00s, companies became hypersensitive in order to protect their interests. As such, many companies adopted a blanket approach to dealing with things like interview feedback for candidates by simply declining to give any details.

Wish it could be that way but actually the HTML for email is a more complex, obsolete and not homogeneous one. Each major email clients (and smaller ones too) come with their own rendering engine, making things super hard for developers to learn and keep up-to-date, which is the reason we decided to create and open source MJML, providing a lightweight and semantic syntax along with a component based approach making it highly extensible.

Plenty of non-lesbian women have no children, and the article explicitly mentions that they corrected for this and yet the gap persists.

It's one of the most populous, unaffordable and dense cities in the world, where people live in metal cage bunk beds because it is so unaffordable. On top of that, the majority of the land in HK is park land.

I think a few acres of park land can be developed to release pressure on the housing market so people are not forced by circumstance to live in such situations. And by developing on some park land, the deep park land will start to get some utilization.

Go look at singapore for example, they use a significantly larger amount of their land as actual city space.

Is that really accurate? I've heard that the tech sector in Montreal is actually pretty lenient about English, and there's ways startups get around bilingual regulations by mainly catering to American/Anglophone markets, which is a loophole they can use.

There was definitely packet loss and retransmission due to it, so the packets were not the same on both sides of the router. But this doesn't explain why TCP connections would be stuck with small windows for their entire lifetime after the burst is over? I was actually also able to reproduce the problem in one of our other DCs by reducing somaxconn to a very low value (e.g. 2 IIRC).

Window scaling was definitely on my radar, but IIRC the Linux SYN cookie implementation is supposed to encode if this TCP option is set in the initial SYN as well, so I don't see how this would explain thing unless the implementation is broken. I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying about SYN+ACKs not being retransmitted, I think they should be if they get lost, it's only the final ACK from the client that doesn't get retransmitted if its lost, but that would cause different symptoms.
I partly agree, but those that have done the research or already use Gitlab know that Gitlab's uptime has been problematic compared to Github's, which is a bigger issue for most companies than the community. As sytse correctly notes below, it's a lot better than it was a few months ago - but the pessimistic/risk-averse way to say that is "as recently as two months ago they were having major uptime issues". I have high hopes for Gitlab and I think they're doing great things, it's always great to see new competition in the space. And I applaud their transparency, it's refreshing! But it'll require some more "burn in" time before I consider it a reliable Github replacement, all questions of critical mass aside.

With no irony or smart-aleckyness or whatever: You should make your own enclosure! I imagine there are people who feel similarly, so you can "contribute" to the project by doing so an releasing schematics so others who want a more industrial design as well can do the same.
Fair point (and kudos to Mozilla), but unfortunately this doesn't protect 90% of other traffic passing through the host. As many (if not all) of the victims of this kind of attack are laypeople, a broader approach may be warranted.
I believe SYN cookies affect the TCP window because the kernel can't actually guarantee it has enough RAM to allocate a reasonably sized buffer when it sends the SYN-ACK, as by design it doesn't allocate any memory until after the ACK is returned from the other side.
