Poor, good chunks of the city have no bus access, I ended up staying in an area that was pretty dense (3 stories minimum) and Google Maps said there was no possible route via mass transit. Turns out the bus is over an hours walk away.
Wait, what? If people don’t need to work full time to nominally survive, that gives them much more leverage vs. employers.

How does that work in the VC-funded world?

If a company's growth has dramatically slowed, but they are still profitable (even with a down year here or there), are VC's ok letting them chug along without an exit? My guess would be no and they'd push for some sort of private sale.
>So my question: Instead of hacking printers, why not talk to companies who are searching for his talent?

If you don't have debt, you have to prove you can already do the work required. I don't know where the idea comes from that software gets a magic exception to everything because 'potential'. Talent means you're already showing you can do what they want.
"Finland’s basic income experiment is unworkable, uneconomical and ultimately useless." writes the author of the Bloomberg article [emphasis added]. This article is not the concept of a basic income; it is specific to the particular choices made for the Finnish experiment.

The content is disappointing. The article collects opinions about the the Finnish experiment primarily from detractors and presents only hearsay anecdotal evidence for strongly held conclusions.

The present pilot program is small,selective, and embedded in the existing economy. I suspect that it will work only when scaled up to the economy as a whole.
this is not an accurate analogy. a spoofer's order is legitimate. if someone buys or sells it, the spoofer made a transaction.

For Go I don't know any.

When I was working on a project like this another issue that I found regularly is that there are regions of the page(counters, advertising, etc.) that change all the time too but they are part of the content. For this I would make several requests to the page and find the regions that would change in every request and disregard them when doing the diff.
Yikes! I use 15mg and will go months without using it. To me, studying is fine, it's just periodically doing menial tasks that require moderate amounts of attention.

HTML isn't WYSIWYG. Every 'front end html GUI editor' I've seen has tried its best to sweep that fact under the carpet rather than embrace it.

HTML is very easy to edit, in fact, if you need precise results, it's easier to edit html by hand than it is to wrestle with a WYSIWYG editor, trying to get it to do what you want.

CSS really doesn't suit itself to our current understanding of GUI editors. It's not even clear how editing specificity of a selector, to take just one example, should work in a WYSIWYG environment.

We haven't got good visual editors for html/CSS for many of the same reasons that we don't have good visual editors for C.
why stop there? just compress the entire dang thing and add decompressor in the execution.
> You're saying that there cannot possibly be large enough margins in anything to risk federal prison, which is self-evidently false.

No, I'm saying that outside of drugs, assassinations, and moonshine in countries following Sharia law, there aren't large enough margins in anything to risk federal prison.

> Your whole argument relies on declaring crypto currency as contraband, but contraband items are popular because they have inherent value to the consumers rather than simply being a medium of exchange.

Crypto currency is not contraband - but if you are using crypto currency to run a contraband business, you can be shut down by applying pressure on the parties you transact with. The easiest way to do this is by going after the exchanges.

For example, if the feds really wanted to take away all of Ross Ulbricht's money, they could make it illegal for a BTC exchange to accept in payment a bitcoin that, after a particular point in time, ever touched the Silk Road wallet. This would have made his coins de-facto unspendable - and the feds have the ability to do that, given that the exchanges interface with the USD economy.

> It's much easier to proscribe the possession of child porn, hand grenades, or heroin because it's easy to demonstrate the harm of allowing free traffic in such items. Prohibiting voluntary arrangements that don't inherently have first-order harm effects is more difficult.

That's correct. However, we are discussing using a blockchain to run a company that 'can't be shut down'. What exactly would you be selling, that makes it worth the trouble?
A cryptographic hash is overkill, murmur or cityhash would be much more appopriate.Furtheron, it might make sense when using one of the mentioned hashes to accept a minimum of change, like a timestamp which has changed on the site , but that varies of course on the use case.
LOL. Millions of young men with housing and food and nothing to do. You just described a standing army.
Motif, seriously?! A crap-ass, practically committee-built framework that tried to mimic Windows UX without investing in any real UX?! With all the glory of writing hundreds of LOC to achieve small things, casting things into generic Xt pointers, debugging segfaults caused by occasional wrong structure cast etc etc.

HTML stressed rapid results and quick iteration. Surely, it bought many other idiosyncrasies to the table but proposing Motif as HTML killer... In this case we should also declare CORBA a hypothetically better alternative to SOAP and WSDL...
I recently watched the lectures from that class. I wish I'd taken it 8 years ago because it was a clear and concise summary of a bunch of lessons I'd learned through much harder ways.

As far as thinking deeply about the problem, I've found that is helped by first getting your brain into the task by doing a pomodoro and, if you still feel the desire to procrastinate, either talking it through with someone else, going for a walk, or both.
He's speaking about leverage against the provider of UBI, who can simply lower or remove it.
New buildings tend to have boring street-levle commercial spaces (banks, tanning salons, etc) because the underground parking requires ramps at street level, and that makes the shops shallow. Interesting businesses generally need a fair amount of space back (like old buildings all have). Basically if you build for cars you're going to lose pedestrian amenities.

I agree with most of your statement but only partially agree with your view on Mission Bay. As a Mission Bay resident, I think it feels sleepy and a bit sterile, it does NOT feel dangerous at all. I've been in neighborhoods that feel sketchy in SF, but Mission Bay is not one of them. Its actually the only dense, urban area of SF I can think of that's both clean and quiet.

Its still too early to tell if Mission Bay is a success or not. Most of the housing here is either still in the development pipeline[0,1,2] or just finished within the last 1-2 years. Mission Rock [1] is probably the most ambitious and likely to draw crowds. Also, the 4th street retail area is just starting to sprout up with shops. It just takes time for neighborhoods to develop.

> For example, they updated the Celeron/Pentium/i3 line to Kaby Lake even though customers probably won't even notice.

The difference between Sky Lake Celeron and Kaby Lake Celeron is small, but it's not like it's a big difference for i7 either. I don't think a lot of people are tossing out their Sky Lake CPUs and putting in Kaby Lake at any part of the performance curve; it's just if you're upgrading from something older (maybe Sandy or Ivy Bridge) or buying something new that you may want to go with the newer core design. Eg: Celeron G3920 (Skylake) vs G3930 (Kaby Lake) are both 2.9Ghz but G3930 is about $10 cheaper and may have a slightly nicer GPU.

> You ARE asking them to modify their behavior when you say that they should use Slack/email/whatever other tool for your benefit, or that they shouldn't have an impromptu chat around the water cooler because you're not around.

No, he was asking that already when he asked if he could work remotely. And the company said yes.

> Since you're in the minority, you can't demand the majority change their working style for you. It's up to you to fit in to how the majority works, say by showing up in the office. Or you'll miss out important information, which will be to your detriment, not theirs.

Then they shouldn't have agreed to let him work remotely. Majority or minority doesn't matter after that decision has already been made.

Maybe they should revisit that agreement if apparently they can't make remote workers fit in the team.

"No, we believe we can't make it fit with the way our teams are currently communicating" (and do not want to change that) is a perfectly legit answer to the question if remote work is an option.

However, once the decision is made, of course effort is required from all sides.

Otherwise, why even bother asking about it.

It's like applying for a job on the condition that you can't work Wednesdays because of allergies. The boss is perfectly fine with this, you can work the other 3.5 days, you're hired. And then it turns out the most important crucial meeting of the week, of which no minutes are kept, is on Wednesday. Now this is your problem, somehow. Who messed up here?
This change has one important ramification that can cause confusion:

Github Enterprise has always had the black header bar.

This seems a lot like the idea a lot of people I know do. They set their alarm clock 10 minutes fast, so in theory they will assume they are running late and get moving in the morning.

I honestly don't know how people think this will work. You know you changed the time, so people quickly just adapt to the new 'running late time'
The problem with UBI is inflation. Give everyone another $1000/month (or whatever) and all you've done is make every existing dollar in the economy worth less.
I'd like to see a little more from new urbanists than for them to endlessly restate their thesis. Yes, okay, we've now seen the 1,000th reiteration of the idea that dense mixed use residential/commercial developments have a number of advantages.

How do we actually get there? Is "just" changing zoning actually enough? Is there a case study? Over what time-frame? With what downsides?

NIMBYism isn't a magical spell cast by Satan: it's an organic outgrowth of people's incentives. What is the way around it? I don't believe that then 1,001st reiteration of the advantages of mixed use developments is the answer. What kind of compromises work to keep NIMBYism from obstructing all of these developments?

Salient point regarding the long slog they have in front of them. At that stage it becomes critical to optimize your efforts, plan things out more methodically due to diminished forecasts, and strap in for the long haul. Every bit of growth they get now will need to be fought for. Still possible, but a lot more challenging.

Heroku Alternatives
Yeah--it has a lot of potential, but the reality is it may never be the revenue driver they needed it to be in order to allocate more resources to improve it.

Kind of a chicken and the egg problem--you can't get a better product without resources, and you need to monetize to get those resources (or at least be confident that the returns will be there down the line). So what resources you do have inevitably go towards monetization since it is a lot easier to measure impact on growth than with many product improvements.

What language? How big of a build? Is your build too large to fit in RAM?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, other than some pedantic point about the title.

The original "goto considered harmful" paper was very much tongue-in-cheek.
What part of "I don't think standing armies are a good thing" was unclear? Aircraft carriers are useful for waging wars beyond national borders, but far less useful for defending the borders of your own country. Without a standing army, the odds of fighting a war of aggression against another nation are likely to be drastically reduced. In other words, manning aircraft carriers is not necessary.

Furthermore, in war the situation is different, standing armies are trained armies ready to deploy at all times, not just in times of war.
Also considering lower frequency Russian radar which almost negates most stealth technologies, preponderance of advancements in remotely-controlled drones, hypervelocity missiles and other technological changes, the F-35 program tries too hard to jedi mind trick consent about the enormous waste of treasure promulgated by the incessantly-obscene >50% US federal budget transfer of wealth to the commercial side of the military-industrial complex of which Eisenhower warned.
Well, I'm not really sure how exactly to exploit this (I'm not a trader, all I really know about this is what I've read in all of the previous discussions about this), but that's really besides the point, because nobody has perfect information. In any case, I suspect the only real way to take advantage of this situation is to determine the orders that the spoofer actually does intend to make (e.g. spoofing to depress the price and then buying low) and making those trades first yourself. But you're not actually harming the spoofer in that case (except in that they didn't get to make the trade they wanted), because the spoofer won't actually have executed any trades, they'll have simply attempted (and failed) to execute them.

Which is to say, if you have perfect knowledge, you might be able to prevent the spoofer from reaping the benefits of their spoofing, but you won't actually have harmed them, and of course the effect on the market is just as bad as if you let the spoofer spoof in peace.
Interestingly, the real awareness starts when, after some weeks, one changes such a clock back to the actual time:

Then you suddenly have to remember that this clock does show the correct time, which increases the stress level even more than the previous "10 minutes fast" phase.

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but an intesting experience nevertheless.

Good points, but we are still running against the age old problem of a designed environment vs a natural environment.

Perhaps an argument could be made that, this time, architects have finally gotten smart about the failures of designed spaces.

Agreed, I've pentested php apps and some are very hardened and difficult to breach and I've tested Python django apps where I completely compromised the server. Language has only a weak correlation to security for web applications.
Thank you very much for your comment - I've realized that caching DNS should be considered in any "connected" service.

I would add my two cents:

- Calculate checksum and compare it with the latest entry (storing single 32/40-bytes long checksum takes lower amount of memory).

- Respect various HTTP headers like Expires, Cache-control, Accept-Encoding (accepting compressed content may relieve strain on bandwidth), Content-length, Cookie-length etc.

- If you were downloading a web-page and sending it via e-mail (for later usage?) you may gzip it - it may reduce costs of attachments or S3.

- Attach header "User-Agent" and "From" (with an e-mail address to contact developer) - if you don't mind.

- As you wrote, avoiding ioutil.ReadAll should be a good practice - Datadog published a blogpost which is worth reading - https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/crossing-streams-love-letter-...

- Use logrotate or implement it on your own with i.e. Mutex. Eventually you use fluentd, Kafka, Pub/Sub pipeline or some SaaS offer specialized in storing logs.

Most (or all) of Go packages with "request" in the name that I know doesn't cover aforementioned scenarios automatically - it is up to developer.
