I'll agree that the narrative you pointed out is ongoing... but I think that the idea of modern-day whites absorbing those faults is stupid... they shouldn't be responsible for the faults of their fathers.

However, they do need to treat everyone around them like equal human beings and offer equal opportunities to men and women of equal skills. Modern-day blacks need to realize that they're in control of their own destinies and demonstrate that they are equally human beings.

That's just my opinion. I'm an Sub-Saharan African man... so I'm well accustomed to people assuming that I'm less capable just because of the average capabilities demonstrated by people in the region. I think that that's a little unfair, but I've got to do what I can to prove that they're wrong. Otherwise, I'm just proving that I have the ability to complain.
Snapchat obliterated Facebook's news feed with the younger generations under 25. Status updates are now Snapchat stories, and news feed items on Facebook are more like life milestones. So I think it changes the way younger demographics use social media. It definitely encourages a lot more trivial sharing of activities throughout the day with others.
I use fastmail.com for electronic mail, and I gladly pay for it.

Marvel at the simplicity: you pay for a service, and the provider's incentive is to serve you!

This versus the alternative where you use a "service" provided free of cost, and the "provider" makes money by selling data they have harvested from your interactions. You give away your privacy; you have no reason to expect support; you are not actually the customer.
I just got back from a week observing at a very dark site - Pine Mountain Observatory in Central Oregon. SQM readings over 22, for those with sky quality meters. The Milky Way was literally staggering - I had to sit down to take it in. If you've never seen the night sky from a truly dark place, please try to do so.
Developers who want to do this can already pin certificates relatively easily.
Throwaway because personal blah blah, and haven't left the Bay Area yet, but... if you have mental health issues that need to be resolved (depression/anxiety/suicidal thoughts) or that you have disorders impairing you when you don't have someone who is experienced in helping because there's not that many (in the area) in general, dense areas are pretty bad.
Given Andrea and Theresa May I would much rather Andrea wins. Theresa has supported the draconian laws in the UK and not to mention her proposed snoopers charter for spying.

Andrea, although misguided on this particular issue probably because she lacks understanding of the web, would seem a far better choice then her counterpart.

Not being snarky (and to each it's own) but what exactly do you like about the San Jose area? I personally never understood the appeal of San Jose to certain people, especially considering the insane housing prices. I used to live in Santa Clara for a year and that whole area was the most boring suburb I ever lived or been to. Everyone just zombies around in their cars between condo/house, dime in dozen office parks and whatever Safeway/Whole Foods. Maybe I missed something but living on the peninsula or even East bay has way more charm and things to do (at least to me?).
I have my own domain but some old things were still on gmail.com address.

We are aware of BigQuery advantages, Redshift resizing is tedious job, but we currently don't think that the cost of migrating to GCP would be so beneficial that it is worth the effort. This can of course change in future, but for now we are reasonably happy with our setup on AWS and its reliability.

So true. One of the worst aspects of school is the imposition of a uniform schedule on everyone. There is a point beyond which learning faster means learning more shallowly. You don't have time to develop a rich mental model, which you test, explore, edit, and integrate with related models, but have to settle for a less refined model. With even less time, you have to resort to memorizing parts you don't have time to figure out to parrot back on a test. The less time, the more you have to rely on memory of isolated facts and general-purpose logic to "just pass the test".

It is tragically common for people (esp. kids) who would be fully capable of understanding the material to be hustled along at a pace that is determined by factors unrelated to their personal needs, forcing them into less-effective learning modes.

These artificially time-limited MOOCs potentially turn us all into such kids. If I'm trying to learn something for which my preparation was 20 years ago, I'll be as good as anyone after I finish the course, but I need more time to do it correctly. If I'm trying to learn something but only have an hour a week to allocate to it, it's my turn to be the "slow learner", but given the necessary time, I'll know the material as well as the fastest learner by the time I finish.

But MOOCs impose a schedule unrelated to my individual circumstances, and I can take it or leave it. It would be so much better if they just told me what to read, and whenever I finished reading, I could watch the corresponding video lecture, then I could go to an open, ongoing forum to read the accumulating Q&A for that lecture and post my own questions or comments, then on to the problem sets with answers and discussion again on the forum, followed by quizzes and tests (multiple versions of each, so I could take them, repeatedly if necessary, for my own guidance, not grades)...and I could plow through it all in a week or chip away at it for a year, as suited my needs.

If they wanted to offer credentials, they could separate the teaching from the ultimate certification testing.

As it is, in most cases a good textbook still meets my needs so much better than all this advanced teaching technology.
What people seem to miss when they project about Silicon Valley's future is that how existing tech monopolies are becoming increasingly profitable. Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Netflix are all literally killing it! If you want to grow your career in any of these big tech companies you have to be in the Bay Area (Seattle for Microsoft or Amazon depending on what part of the company).
This is absolutely true and greatly increases the cognitive load from using 'C'. IMO, all systems which use 'C' need a great deal of test furniture and possibly code analyzers to manage this. And of course, nobody wants to pay for this. But I mean - if you have not done a basic fuzz test of the thing then you have really no idea.

What would be interesting is a series of experiments to directly contrast the Therac, Ariane and OpenSSL errors using something like Rust. As I understand it, there still may well have been a crash of some sort.

>Only 46% of US children are in a family with two married parents.

Care to cite your source on this? The number appears to come from the Pew Research report from 2014[0]. If so, you've severely misconstrued their findings.

From the report:

"Fewer than half (46%) of U.S. kids younger than 18 years of age are living in a home with two married heterosexual parents in their first marriage."

That's a whole lot different from "in a family with two married parents."

I suspect that not many people share your view.

I don't pay for things expecting that they will get continually better. I pay for things so I can keep using them as they are.

Change is just as likely to make something worse as it is to make it better.
Is any of that true, or is it just what you believe?
But if there are no good providers

Mail is the lingua franca of the Internet. There are many, many alternatives to just getting an account with one of the handful of well-known huge providers and being locked in to whatever they want to do to you afterwards.

Just about any ISP will provide the necessary servers to send and receive electronic mail.

Plenty of hosting services will let you keep your own mail store in a remote, always-on location.

Either of these also works fine with your own domain with any decent provider, and either costs a modest amount to run for something so important and useful.

If you are limiting your options to a specific type of webmail service then of course you're going to be stuck with whatever downsides that comes with, but that's far from your only option.
Are there Amazon Basics products where IP is an issue? I only know them from USB chargers, cables, rechargeable batteries, …, stuff where there is little innovation.
Of course there is some of that but to paint this whole effort with a black and white brush merely as a negative and ignore any positive is no less dishonest than the censorship of porn and alcohol by the Iranian gov.

Mostly architectural. The only pragmatic benefit is it allows powerful people to go "outside" without going out in public. Take a break, walk in the semi-private garden.

Amusing, but orthogonal to my point, which was that the move away from parts of the PVP was motivated by real concerns, and moreover that the comment above was specifically an obvious reference to concerns that had been voiced during that time.

I am not arguing that the move away from the PVP was correct - I was uncertain at the time and I remain uncertain.
If skiing/climbing/hiking are what you want specifically, you can do a lot better than the bay area in the US. The bay area is good for these things, but there are plenty of places in north america that are closer to better opportunities for them (especially skiing!)

Indeed. Progress! :)

I think you may be right about Z_{2^32} but 'C' is hopelessly wedded to it. As practice, it might even be worth having separate types for things on that ring and things expected to not be on that ring. Whether tools to automatically check it exist or not, this at least moves it to be easier to inspect for.

This is bad advice. The act of computing (a + b) is undefined behavior. Masking it afterward will not save you against a strict compiler that exploits (or traps) all undefined behaviors.
Right, but you are warned forever* if you have a user-installed CA on your phone and you go to a site or use an app that uses that cert.

At some point, it should recognize that you've continued using the cert XX times or for XX days or both and stop trying to guilt you into removing it via the use of some illusory 'you might be insecure' bogeyman, when Symantec, an already 'trusted' CA, could issue any cert for any site and you'd have no recourse or ability to tell if they should have.

Everyone 'might be insecure', that's just how it works.

*Maybe this goes away at some point months down the line, but it's at least 30 days and has to be some number in the 1000s of uses if the warning eventually quenches.

You seem to miss my point. I am not arguing that the move away from upper bounds was correct - I was uncertain at the time and I remain uncertain.

My point was that the comment above was specifically an obvious reference to concerns that had been voiced during that time (and speculation as to why they might have been less relevant to you) - far from an "absurd non-sequitur."

Do you mean hard coding configs to docker image?
I wouldn't support this, IMO this is worst case scenario setup :)

Imagine you need to change single config value, for this you would need to update image, push, build, redeploy, this can take some time depending on your deployment.

With k8s you do only `kubectl edit configmaps <name>`, restart pods that are using it and you are done.

Also no need to creating per stage images...

After some testing, it appears that this plugin offers better referer hiding than Google's redirect. I've verified that it completely hides the referer, whereas Google at least reveals that you're coming from Google (which makes sense, since website owners will see this and it can encourage them to subscribe to Google Analytics so they can see some of those hidden details).

Also, referer hiding does not justify URL substitution as a result of right-clicking a link. That just forces less savvy users to give Google an additional clickthrough when all they want is the URL.
I'm also looking to move my domain from Google Apps, I'll consider Posteo. Thanks.

> I also don't see how being "NOT surrounded" by tech events could possibly be a good thing. If you're not interested, you don't have to go.

The monoculture of "tech" is a grind after you visit other places. The Bay Area is a fine place if you get excited by networking events and like asking people at a bar about their deck, but I find it mind-numbing.
It's not that Snapchat is critical infrastructure. It's that they've captured the attention of a generation and are going to potentially build things in the future that could define how people interact with technology. I'm not saying that they will, it's too early to tell because they're just getting started. We'll see. But it's much too soon to dismiss it as just a chat app as well.

Back in 2005 I took a trip to New Zealand for a couple months. Once of the places I stayed many times during the trip was Stewart Island [0]. The house I stayed at was on the shore of Horseshoe Bay, I don't know where on the scale of "darkness quality" it fell, but the sky was ablaze with stellar objects the like of which I'd not seen for many years.

At night we'd sit on the beach at around midnight looking up at a sky that was truly mind bending to behold. Also because this was my first ever trip to the southern hemisphere the sky looked totally alien. I'll never forget those nights.

This seems like the most sensible solution and would easily weed out 99% of these fake paid for reviews. Is there a way to filter ratings by verified purchasers?

My anecdote: I like gold colored Ray-Ban aviators with a brown or dark polarized lens. The two stores near me didn't have them in stock, I couldn't find my old pair and I was leaving for a week long motorcycle ride in two days. I ordered them up and immediately knew they were fake. They were too light, the nose pads weren't right, all the usual tells. I returned them 3 different times until I just cancelled.

The other possibility is that they weren't fake, just the result of Ray-Ban moving production to China. You could return them 300 times and you'd still get the same cost-reduced crap.
>rewards people who do not work

Why would this be a problem for startups? Demand for low-wage labor (i.e. people for whom the social safety net yields similar quality of life to the jobs they can access) is certainly a hallmark of traditional small businesses but does not seem particularly common among startups.
Precisely. Not all of us suffer from ADHD! I simply abhor this new trend of mini-videos - all it does is break up my flow.
> Either way, it bears keeping in mind that our day-to-day language isn't really optimized for discussing these kinds of things, so there's bound to be multiple layers of confusion.

After decades-long study of human behavioral phenomena, I'm striving to articulate what I've learned in coherent written form. It's proving difficult to transform a non-linear multi-dimensional model into ordinary English prose that readers can comprehend. So I absolutely agree with your comment about limitations of ability to reduce mental models to common language.

The issues you bring up concerning formalized models that allow mapping behavior to determining factors are indeed of central importance. A model must permit sufficient granularity of analysis, at the same time covering sufficient generality without contradiction of the granular level. The hard part is describing the interactivity of this whole range of "levels", because the immediate and the distant elements are in fact occurring simultaneously and affecting the system under observation in real time. It gets convoluted when we realize the observation itself has effects on the observed behavior.

The problem I have with "appropriate" is the term's ambiguity. OTOH "pattern" implies there's a "match" or there isn't. (I know, patterns can be iffy, but then they're not quite a pattern.) Encountering a situation that's unclear, where no "matched" pattern is evident, immediately arouses alarm. Then we proceed with caution until observing enough that something "familiar" is gleaned, or observe/interact enough to establish a new pattern.

This state of "I don't know" is constantly implicit, patterns never match perfectly, details always vary. Most of the time that's overlooked because we accept a "close enough fit" to established patterns, that is, categorical classification is an abstraction that works adequately most of the time.

For example, often it's good enough to say "that's a tree" without saying what kind of tree. But other times it's important to distinguish a fir from a pine from a hemlock. Patterns are infinitely divisible, ultimately no two trees are identical, at some level of refinement abstractions break down and no longer apply. A thing is no more or less than its actual attributes. Though indispensable for human existence, abstraction is just a tool, pattern recognition is a built-in mechanism of abstraction, best to remember all tools have their limits.

I certainly would never say there's no more to learn, just that defining terms is only a tool for communication, not to be confused with the information we attempt to share. We get confused when we think we are "explaining" phenomena that we observe. In reality, it's less confusing and more informative to simply describe what we observe. Curiously, thoroughly observed phenomena are the things we tend to call self-evident or self-explaining, which suggests an explanation is only an expression of uncertainty about patterns yet to be adequately elucidated.
Silicon Valley is 3.5 hours from the Sierra (in good weather, without traffic, but there's always traffic). If that's the standard for "access to the mountains", the entire eastern seaboard also has "access to the mountains".

I like the bay area; I lived there for 10 years, and I travel there regularly. But the myth that it has some unique access to the outdoors is absurd. At my house in town in New England, I can walk out my back door and ski in the winter, and the Appalachian Trail is about 5 miles away.
It exists. Around here it's called Dial-A-Ride and like the name says, you call them and they pick you up at your house and take you wherever. The buses are like the small airport shuttle buses. It's very popular with senior citizens who don't drive much.
Hopefully you've verified that the referer hiding is due to the plugin and not your personal settings. That's a great feature in a plugin, since many users appreciate referer hiding being the default for search engine clicks.
