It's pointless to add encryption if Facebook is your root of trust.
I couldn't be more happy working remote and living abroad now. I have zero desire to go to the bay area. I earn as much as I would back there. But I live in a WAY cheaper city.
I wasn't fooled, I returned them saying they were counterfeit and they shipped out a new pair. Three different times they were fakes and then I cancelled my order. The seller was Amazon, not some weird 3rd party- but because of the co-mingling of stock you can't be sure what you're getting or where it came from.

That is selection bias. Of both the media and of you. First, media select news that they think people are interested in to get sales or clicks, second, of all the stories they report, you remember exactly the worst. So after the first step it already isn't an accurate representation of reality, and after the second step we get your comment as the result of that double-filter.
Still doesn't support the title. If something is popular among the younger crowd but unpopular among older people, it usually indicates that it's gaining luster.

A better title might be "Experienced tech workers looking outside of the Valley for next opportunity."
Yes you are exactly right, that is exactly what we are planning with:

https://github.com/mozilla/page-metadata-parser

This repo is exactly what you describe, meant to be a collection of 'recipes' or 'rules' for extracting various forms of metadata from pages. It's very early in its infancy but we are nearing deploying a first version of this to users via Test Pilot:

I'm sorry but this is a personal health thing and I don't want it to erupt as a fiery debate where people gang up on me like it's the Lord of the flies.

I'm so deeply uninterested in that
"everything that matters" is quite subjective. I live in the mountains, with endless outdoor activity within minutes of my place. I can drive to 8 national parks and monuments in half a day. I have a great place to raise my kids, and I am NOT surrounded by tech events and meetups... I am surrounded by people who like to spend our free time outside. All of those things matter to me.

So whether or not Silicon Valley is important to you has everything to do with what you value in life. As the article said, there is a big generation gap here. I'm an older coder who doesn't give a crap how many opportunities are around because I only need one at a time. And with remote work becoming ever more prevalent, I just don't foresee ever having a desire to move to SV.

I live where I can lead the life I want, not work the job I want.

Yeah, I think that one of the only potential issues with working remotely is that timezones may cause issues, but as long as meetings are planned well ahead of time and there's some kind of overlap with time so coworkers and bosses can communicate, working remotely makes more sense than working in an expensive place like the Bay Area. However, even with respect to timezones, companies such as Zapier have no issue with working remotely as far as Thailand (iirc) even though they're based in the Bay Area, so even that issue may be moot.

I wonder how the quality compares. It is hard to make rules work reliably on thousands of unseen websites.

Part of the problem in this broader conversation is a lack of knowledge by laypersons about what less-lethal options are available and their potential lethality. The most egregious example of this is when people (not on HN) suggest that cops should shoot suspects in the legs as a less-lethal option, as if the femoral artery doesn't exist.
That's a terrible analogy.
I know you were only using it as an example, but does Boston have a thriving startup community on par to SF/Austin/NYC?
It has gotten to the point where the only stuff I buy on Amazon is stuff where I don't care about brand names.

If getting a genuine brand name item (e.g. an Apple charger) is important, I will buy it at a local retailer. And even then I'm not always sure, but I assume that places like Target have enough control in their procurement to not end up selling fakes.
I was talking about MITM certificates. I don't really understand why a university is not just getting a certificate from a CA in the trusted store, but I would have many fewer qualms about something that is not a general MITM certificate. That said, my experience is that generally applications that have a legitimate reason for a limited-use self-signed certificate don't need to be in the general store. For example, it's common to set up OpenVPN with a self-signed certificate, but I've never had to add a certificate to the general store for that - it's always app-specific.

And yet, not only did we survive the last glacial period [1] which lasted ten times longer than agricultural civilization has thus far, but we used the lower temperatures to spread through entire continents and migrate across oceans that had isolated us before. We have seven billion more people on Earth now, so naturally only those that are born in or migrate to the regions capable of supporting such density survive.

All I said is that humaninty's ability to adapt is unprecedented, not that all of humanity will survive shocks to the environment as massive as large sea level rises or a major ecological collapse. However, given our performance over just the last century, I wouldn't bet against the constant growth of our population outside of a mass extinction event like a super volcano or large asteroid.
With what demographic? They mention ages, but I can think of other things as well.

Maybe its because I have a good job that affords me some freedom, but as a married man soon welcoming a baby, Silicon Valley holds no appeal for me - but then again, tech isn't my life, it's only a portion.

Factors in that statement include cost of living and commute times - both low for me in the Utah Valley.

It probably really does matter that I hate commuting and I'd like a yard.
Sounds awesome, where do you live?
I'm not sure; I would guess it's on similar levels to somewhere like Austin or NYC since it's in the same grouping as it in the article, but I don't know first hand.

Can the technology be defeated? Short of a Butlerian Jihad[1]? (hints of our usernames). Can we unlearn how to make The Bomb?

Perhaps we can defeat, or at least limit the impact of, the technology as individuals Stallman-style.

Of course, laws are a very high latency side-channel of authority and power, so they don't really fix anything either. You can't be un-surveilled by a court order, well maybe to a limited extent, if we trust the courts and law enforcement, which we probably shouldn't when it comes to surveillance. My point being, laws can't undo past actions or relieve a person of the memory of the experiences.

So what should we do? I'm going to posit that we, society collectively, won't do anything, not for a good while longer anyway if at all. Sure, we can use end-to-end encryption, but that does nothing to prevent meta-data being slurped up.

There seems to be some common confusion surrounding the term "monorail".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorail

Do you actually mean single rail? Or alternatively do you mean elevated rail and/or maglev?

I'm under the impression that true monorails have essentially zero advantage over standard birails. (Narrower and more elegant support structures casting smaller shadows is of course desirable, but I don't think the number of rails is a confining parameter in modern tech.)

Synesthesia is the awareness of relations between different types of experience, with experience defined as sensory data.

To be synesthetic is to have a mapping from one type to another, as in the examples given of Natural numbers -> personality archetypes, audio -> video.

After a glimpse of it an an emotional moment, I intentionally developed my synesthesia. I think others could develop it if they like. However, rationalism is an obstacle preventing most from experiencing synesthesia. In order to e.g., see a high C as red, you must be more trusting of your subjective experience than reasons.

I don't know about this guy in particular, but I've been in a situation where I wished I had something like this. There's a small front yard in front of my old bedroom at my parents' house. Every night, around 2am, a bunch of cats would start meowing and hissing. This would go on, in a crescendo, for about 10 minutes and culminate in a five second all-out physical fight. Cat fights are insane. If you've never heard one, they are LOUD.

Don't get me wrong, the whole thing was hilarious, and I used to interject little "meows" every now and then just to confuse the cats. It wasn't as funny when I needed to be awake early for an exam or, later in life, while I spent a few months recovering from pretty harsh medical treatment. The solution was keeping a bucket of water next to the window and just get them soaked. That would stop them for a couple weeks at a time.

There are more likely - and more charitable - interpretations of the comment. Specifically, police often ask for things they're not legally entitled to compel. ("May I look in your glovebox?" During a routine traffic stop with no probable cause for such a search, for example.)

As. 40 year old white male with the financial resources to defend myself, I now say no to such requests. But I also don't get asked... When I was 17 and found cops terrifying, I didn't stand up for my rights. And funny - I received more unreasonable requests when I was more obviously vulnerable.

Given that you can hire all the contractors you like... couldn't you just set up an external NGO consulting agency, which you contract work out to, and which has a "deal" to provide their employees insurance/benefits/pensions through you equivalent to what you'd provide—and then making your "hiring" process into a "certification" process that gives people exactly the credential said NGO cares about?

In other words, why not do what the military does, and branch off a civilian subcontractor?

Great example - because it can be extended to show that even human brains have great difficulty with that. Just turn the scene upside down and see how the brain has to go into overdrive and still miss a lot of stuff. There are quite a few optical illusions photos based on that, for example the face that seems to smile - until you flip it.

In MVC terms, that's either (a) the M, or (b) the C. Not the V.

Silicon Valley hasn't released a blockbuster app, website or company in a while. Particularly social media companies that upend the rest of the world and the way it functions. The directly consumer facing / social companies really move perception versus other companies that don't interact with the general public. There was also the iPhone 2007 which changed the way the entire world used their phones, and a lot of fallout change with it. I think the media attention seems to have lulled a bit since there haven't been what I'll call blockbuster techs in a while; e.g., some large consumer facing company that changes people's lifestyles. So maybe the glamour is missing. The amount of attention SV received a few years ago seemed to be bigger, with everyone eagerly awaiting new life changing tech that is as obvious as the iPhone, FB, Instagram, YouTube or other very consumer facing and widely used consumer companies.

Seems like Uber and Snapchat were the last game changing companies for how people interact with the world via tech on a large scale. IMO it's lack of media attention, excitement and companies that are very obvious lifestyle changers.
Sure, and more power to you I think it's awesome that you are happy where you are, but that really doesn't have anything to do with an argument about Silicon Valley losing its luster. The bay area is a great place for someone who wants to work in technology, in fact I can't think of a better place. There are lots and lots of outdoors things to do, but if that's what you want it doesn't really have anything to do with tech and where people in tech work in my opinion.

If you clicked through to the two links from laretluval and brudgers, you can see why natural language processing as a field is struggling to gain quick adoption (in proportion to well understood concepts). Look at laretluval's links: The people who are doing the hardcore research are doing a really poor job of explaining what exactly they are trying to accomplish. Can a programmer who is good at programming but not familiar with computer science concepts actually figure out what exactly tregex does, even after reading the page a few times? Do you seriously expect someone to download a PPT file (yes, ppt, not a pdf) to understand the basics?

Contrast that with brudgers link - it is actually a readable summary even though I personally think the person who posted that blog entry still needs to learn more concepts in NLP/English grammar/hierarchical data structures to scale the project
- all his examples are active voice
- using regex will fail as the sentence becomes more run on like the one you are currently reading
- hand crafting rules for English grammar is actually super hard because even trained linguists sometimes disagree on the parse tree produced by fairly short sentences (I think I learnt that from watching a YouTube video by Chris Manning, unfortunately I don't have the reference right now)

I don't understand how the NLP community seems so oblivious to this issue.

I mean absolutely no disrespect, but to imply that the West is somehow less intellectually productive than Iran betrays ignorance, at best. Everywhere I look, people are hard at work trying to do meaningful things. Some of it's garbage, but Westerners are definitely doing something with their intellectual freedom, though you won't hear about it on reality TV (duh).
The problem is that police officers have good reason to be much more defensive when dealing with blacks than with whites.

Just look at these statistics and then consider how a police officer would feel when dealing with a black person that shows any kind of aggression, considering that most homicides are committed by blacks. (even though they are a minority)

The police officer wants to survive too.

Of course there are cases of excessive and criminal use of force by the police, but their general perception and caution when dealing with blacks will never change as long as this minority continues to commit most crimes.
Pay depends on the stage a startup is in if you want to work at a startup. Very early stage startups can pay very little, but you don't work at a startup like that for money. Google, Facebook, and even companies like New Relic, Zen Payroll, thousands of other companies easily pay 6 figure salaries to engineers. Starting out pay for new engineers is close to 6 figures. I don't know maybe that's low for you, but it is enough for me.

Yeah, good luck seeing a house without a real estate agent. You might get lucky and make it to an open house, but in that case, the seller's agent holding the open house will very likely try to represent you as well (if that's legal in your state) for twice the commission. It's not like you can just call up the seller of a home and ask to see the house. It doesn't work like that (unless it's a for-sale-by-owner situation, which is rare).

I'm not disagreeing with you in principle, but in practice, you almost always have to have an agent as a buyer even if all the agent does is unlock doors for you.
Yeah except the same real estate agent will try to push you to sell that property for $9 million, against your interest, if they think that the extra commission on that $1 million is not worth their effort for several extra months or years, often using manipulative tactics. This is a very perverse incentive and should be replaced with regular time based billing, perhaps with bonuses for certain milestones based on the final sale price of the property, especially given the information assymetry between realtors and owners. Until realtors have a legal duty to their clients, like lawyers or doctors, predatory behavior in the industry will remain.

Depends on what you're looking for. I live in Austin and I love it. There are plenty of interesting companies to work for, and you'll live in a better home in a better neighborhood for your budget. Austinites are generally fantastic, welcoming people. It's probably a good place for you. Here are the exceptions:

1. Read https://breakoutlist.com/. If that argument matches your motivations, go to San Francisco.

2. Do you have a (relatively) niche interest, like VR/AR, machine learning, or blockchains? Go where those companies are: San Francisco and New York.

3. Do you want to experience a city where everything happens? Go to New York.

Otherwise, pick Austin. Maybe Seattle depending on weather preferences and distance from friends and family.
