Yes you should tax empty land, just by taxing all land. The land owner always has the option to sell the unused land. It encourages property use, and the tax rate actually decreases the more built up the property is. This is not rocket science. Land taxes are well established in economics literature.

Ah, sorry, poor guess on my part.

Rhodes is a new super-high-density suburb in Sydney. There is zero new telco infrastructure and 45,000 residents. The nearest exchange is in Concord, about 5km away. So one or two buildings have NBN, a few buildings have (overpriced) internal fibre, but the vast majority have sub-2Mbps DSL.

There were a few companies putting in fixed 4G links cos, y'know, 2Mbps barely qualifies for email and web browsing these days.

I lived there a few years ago; perhaps the situation is better now.
So does this mean Google is going to stop indexing the text of WSJ articles?
@sytse were you in contact with MS/Azure during the restore? If so did they offer any assistance, e.g in speeding up restoration disk speed etc
" In _The Righteous Mind_, Jonathan Haidt argues that emotion-processing is critical to decision making (and that we use emotion-processing to guide reason), citing some work that people with damaged emotion processing suffer analysis paralysis on simple tasks."

The balance between logic, emotion and decisiveness is a theme explored in Star Trek S1E16, "The Galileo Seven" [0], [1] Spock taking command and following ^flawlewss logic^ almost gets them marooned and killed. I have a theory smart people who assume a rigid logical mindset make the worst leaders.

You are right that round Rock is not Austin. The point is that the radius from the city center that is acceptable to commute from is rapidly shrinking in austin. People are flocking here and the only option is to drive on mopac or 35.
RDS PostgreSQL is like the Hotel California, you can check in any time you want, but you can never leave. Maybe it is OK as a simple data store for a single app, but not for a real database. I gained a lot of my knowledge of PostgreSQL internals by helping my company get off of RDS and onto a dedicated EC2 instance solution. RDS imposes too many limitations.

Also, your snapshot backup solution is trivial to implement on EC2 or anywhere else for that matter. But it is not easy to do it right in some scenarios. Read https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/backup-file.html for details. LVM or ZFS are likely needed under the db layer.

There is still incentive for WSJ to allow Google to index, they probably just will redirect you to sign up when you click through. Perhaps they'd let Google just index the preview text to prevent using the cache
Market makers have special privileges. That's why they abuse with spoofing, boxing, jumping, etc using offshore entities.
This is certainly true of all backups to an extent though not just the cloud. Back in the day of backing up to external tape storage it was important to test restores in case heads weren't calibrated or were calibrated differently between different tape machines etc.

I am curious did you manage to automate an restore smoke test after going through this?
No, only one order was legitimate. They placed an ask at the top level and then placed 3 bids below the top level. As soon as someone hit the ask, they cancelled the bids. The bids made it look like the market was going up. If the top level bid had been hit first, they still would have cancelled
> competitive with Cocoa, Qt, JavaFX.

Where did Cocoa come from? It came from NeXT, which was Steve's second attempt at implementing the ideas he got from his PARC visit where he saw Smalltalk, the first obviously being Lisa/Mac.

And of course Cocoa is implemented in Objective-C, which is Smalltalk added to C.

And I would claim that Cocoa is hands down superior to Qt or JavaFX (does anyone actually use JavaFX?), and for precisely the reasons that are made possible by the dynamic nature of Objective-C. Having experienced 4GLs and other UI building systems, Cocoa managed and still manages to achieve the holy grail of combining 4GL-/screen-painter-like productivity with complete flexibility to implement anything you want, on a smooth curve.

We take that achievement for granted nowadays, but it is no mean feat.

But yes, Pharo/Squeak etc. are somewhat fossilized, but still amazingly productive compared to most anything else, and that's why there are communities of people committed to these fossils, being amazingly productive on them and trumpeting it.

There is some evidence that seems to indicate that the humans have an evolved "built in" reaction to snake/snake like patterns:

http://www.psychologicalscience.org/journals/cd/12_1/Ohman.c...

As reptiles, snakes may have signified deadly threats in the environment of early mammals. We review findings suggesting that snakes remain special stimuli for humans. Intense snake fear is prevalent in both humans and other primates. Humans and monkeys learn snake fear more easily than fear of most other stimuli through direct or vicarious conditioning. Neither the elicitation nor the conditioning of snake fear in humans requires that snakes be consciously perceived; rather, both processes can occur with masked stimuli. Humans tend to perceive illusory correlations between snakes and aversive stimuli, and their attention is automatically captured by snakes in complex visual displays. Together, these and other findings delineate an evolved fear module in the brain. This module is selectively and automatically activated by once-threatening stimuli, is relatively encapsulated from cognition, and derives from specialized neural circuitry.

This makes sense, as humans have evolved along venomous snakes for presumably a very long time.

Is it possible that when drug users of a wide variety of backgrounds report similar hallucinations (here insects), it taps into similar mechanisms, activating neural pathways that deal with the recognition of insects?
A single cold day doesn't disprove global warming. An entire winter worth of cold days kind of does.

Likewise, a single day of warmth doesn't prove global warming. An entire winter of warm days does.

It sounds like this is becoming a trend, which is what is worrisome.

My main question is still:

>> Why did replication stop? - A spike in database load caused the database replication process to stop. This was due to the primary removing WAL segments before the secondary could replicate them.

Is this a bug/defect in PostgreSQL then? Incorrect PostgreSQL configuration? Insufficient hardware? What was the root cause of Postgres primary removing the WAL segments?
I interpret it as if you are only correct half of the time, you can make money by letting your winning positions run and cutting your losses. Many winning traders talk about limiting your losses and risk management as being key.

Anyway, it's a bit too harsh to downvote. He's just answering a question, and correctly says if you lose 5%, you need to make back more than 5% to get back to even.
I would love to see the NYT completely ad-free. I subscribed for a few months thinking my subscription fee would remove the ads, but that wasn't the case.

And if the guy was such a frugal person focused on capital preservation/building his bankroll why did he take $ out of his 30x trading account and put them into 11% safe "real investments"? Just all smells pretty off to me (reminds me of the MF "vaporized" moment).
It's certainly contributed to the irreparable ending of the relationship between conservatives and the MSM (to the detriment of both, and society itself). But conservative journalists and pundits are no less shy about spouting off, provided they work for a conservative outlet. I think what you don't see is journalists at mainstream (read: liberal) outlets who happen to be conservative, instead of token conservative pundits like @DouthatNYT, expressing their views publicly.
FHA and HUD loans cap the ratio of commercial to residential, and so strongly favor single use developments. Banks take their cue from this and are also less willing to lend to such projects.

Are there any guidelines on how often you should be doing restore tests?

It probably depends on the criticality of the data, but if you test say every 2 week, you can still fall in the OPs case, right?

At what size/criticality should you have a daily restore test? maybe even a rolling restore test? so you check today's backup, but then check it again every month or something?

I'd like that, too. However, subscriptions alone—unless raised significantly—won't cover the costs for the NYT (or other paper). Note that the physical paper always carries ads and each paper is paid for—either the cover price or through a subscription.

Hopefully subscriptions will encourage better quality ads, headlines, and stories. Subscriptions do allow for less click bait.
Alexa is not a reliable source for traffic reporting. It is based on toolbar installs and potentially some A9 advertising data.

Why would traffic matter at all? If NYTimes wanted more ad page views they would just remove the 10 article cap on US traffic. If this was a chance at them trying to pad traffic numbers then any US based advertiser would easily see the origin of the traffic and not pay for it.

Cars are not freedom when you can't drive, ie anyone younger than 16, anyone too old to drive, anyone disabled. Being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic is not freedom. Especially compared to commuting on a train where you can read or get some work done.
"benefit the most from this comment"

This idea matters if you want to lead, rather than be the "go-to" expert, subservient to a boss. Smart people with people skills probably get this. Smart, smart people may fundamentally not understand this and remain pigeon holed in their areas of expertise.

Inside the Twin Trade Buildings during 9/11/01, rooms full of smart (and scared) people were killed following rules. [0] Blue collar workers reacted better. I use these extreme examples to show where "it pays not to be too stuck in your head" and develop other skills often seen as the antithesis of being smart.

I offer Rick Rescorla (Morgan Stanly Security officer, World Trade Centre) as a counter-example. [1]

"Maybe it is OK as a simple data store for a single app, but not for a real database."

Currently working at company number 2 with large (many terabytes) databases on RDS and can safely say this is horse shit.

The amount of time and energy it allows our engineers to spend on our actual products instead of database management is worth all of the extra cost and lock in and then some.

Edit: I just realized that you were talking about Postgres on RDS in particular. I don't have experience with Postgres so you may well be right.
I hope you're not in an extreme minority, because I'm right there with you. I currently subscribe to the NYT, and I'd welcome the opportunity to entirely pay for my content without having to worry about ads. I get around it now by using ABP -- with no guilt, since I'm a subscriber -- but it would be nice to not need such interventions.
For what it's worth, whenever you share an article from the WSJ as a subscriber it seems to generate a custom link that bypasses the paywall for the recipient. I hope they retain this feature because I do enjoy sharing articles with people that might not subscribe.

Better to have a loss limiter, than lose it all. Without a stop loss, you can't limit your risk. And yes, exiting at a small loss is the point, it prevents a much bigger loss. Refusing to exit with a loss is how the market takes it all from you.

Using that same job calculator that you used (for the developer position) near the bottom of this page: https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/developer/, the rates are way way off from my area.

They are out of their minds if they think the top rate for a Senior engineer in Salt Lake City with above average experience is $78k. Most other areas also seem pretty low from what I've looked into but I suppose a few areas could be outliers in their calculator.

Their docs on the calculator are here: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/global-c...

It's a bit strange that they cut or raise your pay by that calculator when you move cities.

Ideally it should be immediately after a logical backup.

For physical backups (ex: wal archiving), a combination of read replicas that are actively queried against, rebuilt from base backups on a regular schedule, and staging master restores lesa frequent yet still regular schedule, will give you a high level of confidence.

Rechecking old backups isn't necessary if you save the hashes of the backup and can compare they still match.

According to this, it will need to mark WSJ links differently in Google News.

Interestingly, I tested it and links from Google news still had a "First Click Free", contrary to OP. To test:

1. Go to https://news.google.com/ from a computer that hasn't visited any WSJ articles that day

2. Click on a WSJ link (mine was https://www.wsj.com/articles/daniel-tarullo-federal-reserve-...)

3. See if the whole article is displayed. For me, it was, but when I tried again it only showed a snippet. So it seems like they're only showing the very first click, which does not comply with Google's guidelines above (which require 3 articles a day to be viewable). Anyone else want to offer data points?

Edit: oh, OP says it's only starting Monday.

(Of course, WSJ may be exempt because of direct communication with Google, which I'd expect anyway at their size and at the fact that they weren't banned when they started testing this. But Google should really note any exceptions in their policy.)
> "That just confirms the OPs first point, that TCS, Wipro and Infosys, with their 30,000 Visas avg. ~$70k, are massively abusing the system."

No, that was the article's point. OP's contribution was that everybody is underpaying, which isn't true.
I'm very much looking forward to self driving cars to save us. It's hard for public transit to cover enough of a city, but we can easily build trunk lines or commuter lines and have self driving cars carry people the last mile. Public transit could then focus its limited dollars on rail for the most heavily trafficked corridors. No more slow and infrequent public buses. This would also encourage density around stations, while allowing those who want their back yards to live further out.

Paywalls have been tightening up recently. The Washington Post now has stronger anti-ad-blocking. So do the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. The New York Times is still accessible.

It's a concern that the newspapers which have actual reporters in the field are disappearing behind paywalls.
Right, Washington was upset about what he felt was British overreach. He 'regarded' things, as you quote. But he was no instigator or radical. Those were elsewhere, I don't think it's sensible to say 'Washington played a large role'. He played almost no role in that.
Having used many great visual dev tools over the years but also generally mainly focusing on code, especially in the HTML world, and having had many discussions on this topic over the years, I can promise you that it is a cultural/social failure rather than a technical issue.

It comes down to this: programmers write code. If you build your UI or whatever graphically without writing code, then you are not a programmer -- you are a user. The last thing any programmer wants to be is a lowly user. So programmers have a natural motivation to not make these tools better or try to use them. And it becomes part of the culture to not use visual tools, and naturally having rarely used them and never trying to improve them and the fact that they diminish their job towards more user-like behaviors, programmers often do not find them useful.
