Because TDF highly targets one market, MSO isn't that interested about at anymore: government agencies.

In the time a lot of European governments become more open (open data, mandating the use of true open standards etc.), TDF has correctly recognised this as their competitive edge. Also, because they very often are willing to (at least partially) finance that work.

Are people really being gentrified onto the streets? You really think high-functioning people are becoming homeless for want of $3000/month income to pay rent? I doubt this very much; if I became unable to pay rent in the most expensive city on the continent, I'd move to a city that costs 20% as much before I moved onto the sidewalk.

Gentrification and land use policies are real problems in SF, but homelessness I think is mostly due to addictions and mental illness, not really the lack of adequate housing.
if you're already in an area where those are viable options (goog, fb, etc), then by all means. I made an assumption you'd prefer to move out there to chase a job there.

good luck to you whatever happens!

People and places constantly leapfrog each other with technology. Japanese and German industry after WWII was superior to American industry because the latter was not destroyed and rebuilt with modern technology.

I still think it's best to be the leader, inventing new things rather than improving the legacy systems of your competitor. If only because falling behind and deflating land and labor prices is painful during times of peace and traumatic during times of war.

Sorry if I am reading too much into your comment (or the sibling comment about not being able to start a family in the 20's due to excessive loans), but when I start seeing this line of thinking is where I see how out of touch is this "progressive" mentality of the millennials. Excuse in advance for my little rant.

It's so focused on the self and so eager to "have it all", that they never get to exercise the simple task of knowing to establish priorities in life. It has associated so much the idea that "you are what you consume" that it simply does not even consider the possibility of "not going to pay 200k for a stupid degree", or "not be running the corporate treadmill". Women are so self-conscious about not appearing "strong and independent" that the perfectly acceptable choice of "I want to focus on the family and supporting my husband, let him be the breadwinner" looks like things only a loser would do.

Not to mention this überization of everything. Would you really like to live in a world where people routinely assess the idea of getting a surrogate to have their kids for them? It is not enough to have kids nowadays being raised by nannies instead of their parents, the parents should also now delegate even the incubation? How much of parent are these parents, after all? What is next? Brave New World-style in-vitro cloning?

/rant.

Listen to the advice. If you want kids, have them as soon as possible. You will never "be ready" until you have them.

> Apparently after graduating from university 42% of people never read another book. Ever! Now I have no idea how accurate that statistic is, but if it is anywhere near remotely close to the truth, that’s amazing.

is not really the best way to try to convince me with statistics.

I spent 5 minutes poking around the internet and nobody seems to have the actual study, just summaries of it. The closest I could find to a real discussion was at [1]. One survey with data there said that 12% of college graduates had not read a book in the last 12 months, which is very different from 42% not reading a book ever.

No, compared to the early vision (1950s/60s) of computers as metatools that humans can use to augment their cognition.

The political will in the West is lacking to move fast in recent decades and really support these kinds of projects.

New skype terms of use
I'm wondering if anyone with more familiarity with this subject matter (it did catch my eye, but maybe standard?) could chime in on this particular part:

Content. We collect content of your files and communications when necessary to provide you with the products you use. For example, if you receive an email using Outlook.com or Exchange Online, we need to collect the content of that email to deliver it to your inbox, display it to you, enable you to reply to it, and store it for you until you choose to delete it. Examples of this data include:

* the content of your documents, photos, music, or videos you upload to a Microsoft service such as OneDrive, as well as the content of your communications sent or received using Microsoft products such Outlook.com or Skype, including the:

* subject line and body of an email,
text or other content of an instant message,
audio and video recording of a video message, and audio recording and transcript of a voice message you receive or a text message you dictate.

How much data are they collecting here? from the looks of it... well everything?

If so, well i think i think i may find a new group voice client, i mainly used it for gaming, but if they are logging everything, id prefer not to...

But, please, if you have a better explanation, i'm always willing to listen :)
> Extreme example: if this loads and unloads like an airplane and makes a stop every few miles. Yes, maybe only 5% of passengers would get out and in at every stop, but that still would be a one minute stop every two minutes or so.

That's a good point. I'm sure the bus operators programmed the bus' route to make it at least as good as regular trains with regards to the basic performance metrics such as average operational speed.

> And if there are no structural issues, why do trains have so few doors nowadays?

In short, design options. If a railway operator felt a demand for passenger wagons with more doors and a reduced number of seats, it would be trivial to design one. There are downsides to this (less seats, more moving parts, more maintenance, potentially heavier wagon, harder ticket control, etc...) but nothing stops anyone from doing a passenger car with doors everywhere.

In fact, this was already done in the past.

Has Wall Street Been Tamed?
You're looking at the PR, look at the actual technology.

Anyone can build a big enough supercomputer if you throw enough money at the problem. This high level of spending is getting hard to justify, however, because most of the problems you want to solve can't be solved just by throwing another order of magnitude of computing power at the problem. Building a supercomputer becomes a bit of a boondoggle, a public-relations move.

But China can't build the components for those supercomputers. Nobody can build all of them, but China can't fab the processors. Search for "list of semiconductor fabs", find a table, sort by node, and then scroll down until you find a Chinese node that does something other than just churn out flash memory. You'll find SMIC with a couple 40nm or 45nm fabs. That's not just the last generation of tech, that's three generations old (14 [current] => 22 => 32 => 45).

By comparison, the market is flooded with cheap 32nm Xeons being dumped from our data centers.

Super actionable steps towards wealth building.
> However, having this selective breed of capitalism has allowed its leadership to sidestep aspects of American capitalism e.g. influence of corporations on leaders

This is not a surprise if you understand China's political culture and its long, long history.

For literally thousands of years, political elites in China have understood that political power follows economic power, which is why the richest in China are generally Party members and high officials.

When Deng Xiaoping said "let some people get rich first", he meant those with political connections.

American politicians and citizens allowing corporate interests to slowly take over the political process is due to not understanding how history works.
China IMO has mastered efficient (low cost) scalable production of standard components. This is the ticket for mass produced consumer tech. Low wage was one of the big drives of this which might change in the near/mid term.

If the age of custom built products does appear this may put another damper on China insustrial production growth. In either case, next 10-15 years should be very interesting, hopefully in a good way (disruptions that are uncomfortable, but not crippling and lead to better setup in the end).
They are running in startup mode. Things can be done very quickly as long as red tape doesn't hinder the speed of development. With having experience building everything for everyone, it's not surprising that they can build very quickly.

They have ridiculous manpower at their factories working 24/7 to make billions of phones, utilizing that type of experience to fabricate couple hundreds of thousands of chips to build a super computer can probably take a couple of months. Assembly is probably another couple months and getting the software in order is probably another couple of months.

Now if it was a US gov't contract, it would probably take a decade...
That makes sense. I think my manager is going to go back to being an engineer.
I agree that you should use the best tools for the current project. That is why we need to discuss which tool is the best and in what cases, which is all we've been doing here: providing the information people need to make reasonable comparisons.

There can be clear winners in such discussions, though this changes over the years. Many people are now concluding that Postgres is a winner at the present time and usage is expanding significantly. The people I meet aren't madly in love with Postgres, they make rational choices with the best information they have. Uber posted their information in the hope others would benefit. I think they have and I thank them for it.

(Whether you forgive me or not, I don't manage our blog site, but I guess they'll be some discussions. ;-) )
Upper management is filled with cargo cult thinking around technology. I see it even in software companies.

Someone advocating a rational, realistic way forward (like you) would be pushed out in favor of people who "get it" and want to "move things forwards dramatically"
I think we're mostly in agreement: Clinton is the way forward because our other choices are an infantile megalomaniac at worst and a protest vote at best (which risks splitting the liberal vote bringing us back to the worst case scenario).

All I'm saying is let's not be disingenuous. Not all politics are opportunists, her primary opponent is a case in point, but the Democratic party electorate chose and so we are stuck with her.

Also, to be clear, the DNC official platform is the most progressive on record in large part because of Bernie's "revolution". Whether or not Clinton backs the platform on a point by point basis is entirely unclear. If Trump doesn't help the Democrats carry at least one chamber of Congress, then we'll have a centrist warhawk in another appeasement loop with an obstructionist legislature. I don't see a way through this where we actually get anything done for the next four years, whether it's Trump or Clinton, unless the Democrats take control of everything and Clinton is forced to truly court the left of left constituency.
Their arrival of course gives rise to curiosity. They don't particularly hide in their little forts, so many of your fellow tribesmen start observing them, talking to them, or even attempt to trade with them. In time, you slowly notice that those weird customs of the new tribe aren't actually that strange. They seem to bring more wealth, to make life simpler and healthier, to make food tastier. Slowly you start adopting some of them and reap the benefits. Before long, you're assimilated and you don't feel bad about it.

The Universal Culture doesn't win because it's aggressive. It wins because it's better, for various definitions of the word "better".

I'm not sure how to respond to it being 50% new age pseudoscience, because I'm having trouble even putting my finger on that as a criticism. Are there more specific criticisms?

And yet the other day there was an article on here about Canada's issue hiring high tech workers.

The thread was filled with a ton of programmers that left Toronto / Canada to go to Silicon Valley because the wages are so much higher.

No examples come to mind of someone just releasing a bunch of proprietary code without some effort involved. But people sometimes poke fun at the Apache Foundation as a place for companies to wash their hands of old code that they don't want to keep maintaining, and there are some success stories there.
I suspect a lot of times what people are picking up on when they say that LibreOffice looks antiquated is less the underlying UX choices than the actual aesthetics of the application. The last time I looked at LibreOffice (about a year ago) it had the look and feel of an Office 2003 competitor. As silly as it may sound, it can be hard to get past that perception. A (relatively) simple design refresh might do wonders.

Having said that, I don't really like LO's actual UX choices. Every time I try to use it, I get infuriated trying to do something relatively easy. (Take setting up different headers/footers on the first page of the document. I appreciate that making these "page styles" is theoretically more flexible, but just about every other word processor I use simply gives me a checkbox labeled "Different First Page.")
Elop's actions as a whole seem so blatantly towards selling the company off and yet there has been very little scrutiny of them.
Probably, yes.

I think people forget everything they hated before TDD, Agile, XP, etc. Namely the endless parade of bugs, management making unrealistic promises, perpetual crunch time, death marches with no end in sight, code fiefdoms where touching any other engineers' code was basically impossible.

Software is hard. It is getting marginally easier with time, but it still is a lot harder than most peoples' expectations of what it should be. Hence most developers end up disillusioned, frustrated, and unhappy, but this is a product of our expectations more than our processes. A job isn't supposed to make you happy, it's supposed to make your customers happy.
Agree financially/logically, but people are emotional too and can be anxious about not working and worry about not finding another job ever, especially after being laid off and turned down for other jobs.

The thing is, you'd have an autonomous vehicle that could park in an area and use a drone(s) to deliver to your door step. Remember, this doesn't have to apply to everywhere; urban and rural delivery likely makes up the majority of companies like Amazon's B2C delivery.
Remember this, If you do not like the status quo in China, then stop supporting it. As American companies economically invaded other countries, much of the culture became the norm. If you think censorship, collusion, corruption, disparity et al are ok traits for a society, then by all means keep inviting them into the country to control more and more of American culture.

Show HN: Transformer Drone Inspired Action Camera
The west's critical flaw is that it believes its own propaganda.

The "Washington Consensus" believed that no country could develop or resist the temptations of the "superior" culture and understanding of the western financial system and industry. That the countries that they were moving into were hopeless without their intelligence and guidance and would quickly fall in line and become dependent and helpless without their western overlords. They believed that they would always have a military advantage, that they would always get to set the rules. The financial crash, predicted for the last 10 years, didn't happen. The political transformation, predicted for the last 10 years, didn't happen. The internet liberalization, predicted for the last 10 years, didn't happen. Now the Chinese are catching up technologically and them actually getting ahead of us which, from a socio/political perspective, is akin to negative interest rates. It's a discontinuous transformation that inverts all the equations of western thinking.

Let me give you a quick example to illustrate this. Recently, I was in the pacific northwest. I was talking to a developer who was pointing at a lot that was basically a clean hole in the ground. He said that a Chinese developer was going to build a 5 story building their in two weeks and the entire structure was manufactured in China with ducts, plumbing, wiring all up to American code and all the floor units just had to be unloaded, placed with a crane and snapped together. (Look up "Broad Sustainable Building Group", among several companies in China doing this, if you want to learn more about this technology). The local developers were mystified. As if you told someone in 1990 that calling people anywhere in the world would be free over the internet. I think we're going to be seeing more and more of that: stuff coming out of China that will mystify us because we didn't invent it. The first mystifying innovation was the financial system that never crashed. The rest are coming.
