Absolutely brilliant!

In London, the buses are a real pain because they are slow (both in terms of how fast they can go and because they stop every couple of hundred of meters or so) and you often cant get around them due to narrow streets/constant traffic coming the other way. "Sorry, I got stuck behind a bus" is a common (and legit!) excuse for arriving somewhere late. And in UK and London, we have a LOT of buses which does not seem to be the case in most US cities I have visited where Buses are probably less than 10% of traffic compared to more like 50% (or even approaching 75-90% in some central areas) in central London (anecdotal figures)

The fact that tall vehicles cant go under these is a limitation sure, but right now (in London at least) its very hard for ANYTHING to get past a bus (even cyclists or motorcyclists sometimes) so allowing cars to get past if not lorries is a massive step forward.

When can we get these in London?!

Only drawback I can see is people driving into the back of the thing. I imagine they will be riddled with sensors and big flashing lights if something too tall is approaching from behind (and I would assume that forward looking sensors will stop it just driving into stuff on its own).
The gutter oil is a thing, but don't eat at very cheap restraunts and you'll be fine. Copycats are only a prob if you are successful enough to be copied. As a foreigner, or anyone for that matter, you are free to express your opinion until people start actually listening to it, so feel free to put Bernie sanders on your car. The censorship sucks, but you probably aren't getting tortured unless that's your thing.

Beijing is a third world city with first world aspirations. The most annoying thing about it is just propaganda and the outright lying about what the situation really is. China cares way too much about faces and Beijing has nothing going for it beyond its government top-down mandate (other cities in China are much more appropriate as tech hubs).

I don't floss, and I'm confident my day won't end with me hitting the ground at terminal velocity. I'll let you know if it turns out I'm wrong.

Can we agree that the dangers of not flossing and the dangers of leaping from a plane without a parachute have little in common?
I wish I knew about this, I've been learning the python data analysis ecosystem recently and this would be an excellent resource. Maybe visibility is your issue.

Then you use mirrors, you can apply a similar calculation there. Lower price per disk means you can put more disks in each mirror and compensate for lower per-disk reliability.

Obviously the type of redundancy used will depend on your specific application requirements, including performance.

A good bank will allow you to do wires directly from their internet banking suite (commonly requiring 2-factor auth before using their wire-related tools).

I commonly see wires hit within ~30 seconds of hitting the "confirm" button, and almost always within <=5 minutes, and that's between separate US banks.
This looks more like an elevated train then a bus. Can it even turn?
After graduating from college, I spent a few months in San Francisco. I was not looking for a job, and what I saw (same issues describe in the original article) convinced me that I did not want to work in SF anyway.

After that, I worked for several startups in Paris. Tired of living in France, I joined a startup in … Oslo :) Unfortunately the startup died, and I joined Cisco because several years of startups were enough. I do enjoy Norway actually.

Skål!
Why would your company move to a new office without checking the available internet options first? This seems incredibly careless. Fast internet and limitless bandwidth isn't everywhere and that's not exactly a secret.
I appreciate the detailed answer, thanks.
A claim is that flossing reduces gingivitis. The CAMBRA MOOC measures carries.
Surely the bus lanes where they exist solve this problem.
I don't understand this meme. If this were true, SV would not be deep blue.

While interopability is important in the desktop and server space, and for legacy systems, I am not 100% convinced that for a new and highly curated/guarded platform like android/iOS it matters that much. Google/Apple expect most people to develop using the platform canonical language.

Also while C has great interop. it still comes at a cost, you loose a lot of modern programming constructs like exception, static initialization, reflection and garbage collections.

As someone who has actually lived and worked in Shenzhen and Beijing, I'm surprised by this article. It doesn't reflect the reality I experienced.

"Beijing might be of historical importance for the creative forces often associated with Silicon Valley"

I note he never explained that sentence. No data was given to further that statement. Instead he makes points about cheaper engineers and cheap housing and food.

"
it offered us cheap housing and food, a network of experienced mentors that were happy to take the time to help, steady access to some of the world's greatest engineering talent at a sixth of the cost of a junior engineer in Silicon Valley
"

He also says: "Beijing seems to attract large numbers of truly driven, creative and interesting people". Yes, people here are truly driven. But creative? Nope, I didn't experience that. I won't mention how the drive people exhibit here is typically negative. In the US, negotiations are rarely zero-sum, in BJ/SZ it was always Walmart style: are we screwing the partner/customer/supplier to the max.

"Beijing is a city with its eye on the future and a place that you can help shape."

The whole of China is controlled by a small (percentage wise) elite. They and they alone decide the whole future. If you're not part of the future they determine would benefit "their" China then you're out. If they decide suddenly that whatever you've built is something they want, and they can get away with it, they'll take it. Creative people don't thrive here. Ask 100 creative people in China if they'd like to move to Silicon Valley, and you'll likely get an 75% migration rate. That's even higher than the percentage of rich Chinese who want to leave. http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2014/09/15/almost-half-of...
Morality does not make sense in the absence of common principles. I personally consider IP to be morally deplorable because it encourages rent-seeking; companies can stop innovating and use law to thwart competitors.

I bet the lack of IP is what will give china and other countries the edge in the long run.

This is why I try not to buy many disks at once, just buy one at a time, and if I need more than one I'll go to different stores. Too much chance of getting a bad batch of disks and having the whole array go down (I've had that happen too).

Of course, that doesn't work at a large scale, but then you have other methods of increasing redundancy.
He likes it "dirty and gritty." Edit: "dirty and gritty" being a typically Eurocentric way of referring to, I'm assuming, things like (as you mention) pollution, traffic, destruction of architectural history, etc. Arable land for colonization.

I have read that our government stresses consumer items like TVs in calculating the inflation index because tech product prices decrease rapidly. Food, housing and medical costs are increasing rapidly and get discounted in the CPI.

If the true rate of inflation were admitted, then cost of living increases for social security, etc. would be more expensive, right?

Default Firefox user here, although I do have Chrome installed on many of my machines. All around me people are now (or have been for some time) Chrome users. I just cannot make the switch. I don't know why - maybe it's the sharp angled tab UI, maybe it's the slightly 'off' font rendering. Maybe I don't trust google. Whatever it is, I keep using Firefox as my main Browser, and mostly I'm happy.

A few things would make my Firefox life much easier though:

- The ability to launch multiple Firefoxs with the same profile, but completely separate processes. So when one Firefox crashes, the others are left alone. At the moment, no matter how many Firefox windows you have open, they are all children of the first Firefox you started.

- an equivalent of Chromes --APP=[URL] start up parameter (and the accompanying no-url-bar, custom icon, and unique window location/size settings) - this is a wonderful feature for web apps, and effectively transforms them into (almost) desktop apps in appearance. If firefox had that, I'd be over the moon.

- A way of allocating a session when you start it for 'X project' and then be able to save off all those tabs in one action to a folder or tab 'startup list'. I'd like this to be native, and not an add-on I'd have to keep track of or suffer incompatibilities when the maintainer has lost interest in it.

Finally, now that Windows and Linux roll with good default Browsers, and that Firefox (in the main) is a manual install, I can't see it recouping its percentage share. It feels like the slow death of the original Opera, all over again.

> You can buy a condo, the prices of which are totally uncoupled from SFHs

If domestic buyers can't afford SFH's and shift their attention to condos, this increases demand for condos, thus raising the price. It is practically impossible for the two to be "totally uncoupled".

The world is full of confidence but lacking clarity. I am indeed also one of them. Confidence without clarity is a curse.
This is why perception is so important: the same descriptions do practically, historically and in the present, apply to people as well as to clothing and items.

Let's say two men walk together in a market and meet a magistrate. The first man boasts that he bears scars from the building of the republic; the second man says of the first: "he bears the scars of an unpunished crime!" The second man's perception wins out; the first man is taken to prison.

When someone willingly characterizes another person in a negative sense, they turn lab coats into painters' coats. This diminishes not only the capacity of the individual with the changed description, but the capacity of `the republic' as a whole, through social stratificiation and description-based dominance, et. Yet it is frequently the case that the one who dresses his kin in a negative description is viewed as the more noble of the two, though in truth, he has reduced the capacity of another to think and act. We may ask ourselves what crime the first man may have been hiding, but we seldom call the second man to account, even though he has effectively maimed his brethren and his state.

These negative changes in description occur as a matter of course, and as of yet are unchallenged as a mode of social being. Competition is viewed to extend to such matters. We are enslaved by it in practice.

I personally believe the best system would be to take a human rights-dominated system -- that is, one predicated on human rights as sacred -- and spread this philosophy globally, identifying victims of negativism and propping them up. Rinse & repeat until negativists are natural outcasts, and always allow them to join in. Needless to say, prisons, killing in all forms, and torture would need to be abolished worldwide.

That requires the master and slaves to run different versions for a while. And that is not possible with stock postgresql, is it?

Regarding your second point, I meant copying the data directory as in a 'cp' command. Or rsync if you will. The functions you mentioned are only useful when doing a dump, isn't it? And recovering from a upgrade problem using a dump is way slower than just starting the previous version in the backup data directory.

I am not really sure about the message this campaign is trying to send. Why is IF capitalized?

Use fewer if-statements? Fine, but show some concrete examples of bad code and common pitfalls, and the suggestions that demonstrate how to get cleaner code. As it is their website feels a bit lacking in information.

This is probably the worst part of their monster example:

List aree = ar.getAree();
Area area = null;

for (int i = 0; i < aree.size(); i++) {
area = (Area) aree.get(i);

It's not the few if-statements (come on, we've all seen worse) that scare me, rather the horrible variable names! (Also, if this is indeed Java, the lack of type parameter on that List).
When I feel food stuck in the teeth I'll floss. Rarely have I flossed out anything that I didnt feel - usually the tiny bits are taken out by a strong rinsing. I just dont see the point of taking more minutes out of my day for little reason. (I have never had issues with plaque so ymmv).
I have to question the perceptions and judgement from anyone that managed to live in SF and mentions one of the salient characteristics of its citizens is being an "Ayn Rand follower". Did he mistake the Giants logo for something else? Ditto for someone who equates San Francisco as a place where political and religious discussions are to be avoided. Both of these are just bizarre.
Yeah, user account access is bad enough on its own.
This seems like it's a rendering layer for traffic data you're supposed to provide it. I'd love to have something I can get running more-or-less out of the box to collect and visualize traffic between my nodes on AWS, does anybody know of such a project?
This is precisely a breach of Telegram, they are essentially sending auth keys to the adversary when the adversary asks them too.

New devices should only be authorised with the use of an authentication token from an existing client device; one needs to decide if the new device should have access to old messages. Ideally it would be clear to all parties as to which devices and identities have joined a chat.

Usually not because there are other buses overtaking the one stopped in the lane, or there is something else in the way.

Plus there are not bus lanes everywhere. But in theory yeah :-)

If we had these in London we could return bus lanes to the rest of the traffic or use it for dedicated cycle-lanes or pedestrian use.
One of the dumbest statements from a very dumb, condescending post. SF is uber progressive. "Ayn Rand followers" are few and far between and, even then, very much in the closet.

You can honestly include benefits in that.

Internal conversation: "I have 100K salary with nice benefits that are worth about 20K."

I'm also puzzled by some of the numbers they post.

They point out that non-occupancy in many other housing types is incredibly low (0% - 1%).

They then estimate condo non-occupancy as ~ 12.5% (I'd say that's a big deal, since most new housing stock is in condo form).

And finally point out that short-term-non-occupancy (aka. two months of the 4 they're counting) sits at ~ 10% across all housing types - without breaking out the numbers for condos alone, or clarifying whether this short-term-non-occupancy is on top of the non-occupancy numbers above.

Clarification welcome.

Personally, I'm glad they haven't updated it with that "ribbon" nonsense from Microsoft Office. Office suites are kind of a solved problem -- the only reason why Microsoft Office keeps changing is to give people an excuse to upgrade. That was even true in the 1990s, when absurd bloat features like "Word Art" (no, having the word "shark" in the shape of a shark is not useful) were beginning to be added

His emphasis on social justice (re: your fourth point) is what makes this article a bit confusing to read. I don't live in SF, but from a distance it certainly looks more liberal and progressive than China: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-35217218

My favorite quote is this:

But let's be honest - Silicon Valley is often a parody of itself, and it has lost some of the things that made it great. Where Silicon Valley was once heavily subsidized to be a place of technical innovation, it is now an expensive but well-funded hub focused on business execution. There's nothing inherently wrong with that - good technology deserves good execution, and investors deserve to make money - but it is hard not to wonder what could have been. What if Silicon Valley stopped employing some of the world's greatest minds to make us click ads, and instead served a higher calling?
I remember Fido. I briefly operated a dial-up BBS in the early 90's. Fido was a great way to have globe spanning discussions with other having similar interests.

There are some FidoNet archives floating around as torrents or as websites, too. There isn't an all inclusive repository, though.
This is a big problem that I hope doesn't swamp the benefits of making salary private. Employers might have to prove in a court of law that I'm worth more than another employee? This could really really suck.
My father in law is a dentist in Germany and he never recommended flossing. In fact flossing is not common in Germany and we don't hear that Germans have very bad teeth compared to Americans.

So although dentists could notice if you have good dental hygiene I'm not sure they can spot easily if you floss or not. It might just mean that in US good dental hygiene means that you floss, but converse might not be true.
