I assume the OP means he's probably doing well enough to not want his teeth kicked in for a payday. Like most of us here.
And nonownership will lead to much smaller cars. It can be witnessed on island tourist destinations: the rentals at the destination airport are consistently smaller than the cars parked at the home airport. Without status considerations or speculative "what if" use case estimations over the whole span of ownership, people take the smallest car that will do the job. Ubers and taxis are big cars only because the driver is the most expensive "component" and cheaper hardware would not affect the cost of a ride enough to make a difference.
I read that doing a marathon without proper and protracted training is very hard on the heart, so you may have been pushing too hard.

Relaunching crashed processes is the visible part of HA and yes, Kubernetes and comparable systems do this well.

I don't have direct experience with building HA data systems, but some other teams at my employers (Pivotal) do. We ship some of these as BOSH releases intended to allow service injection into Cloud Foundry (and pretty soon OpenShift and Kubernetes too[0]). For the purposes of what you describe, BOSH and k8s are comparable.

Given that we have multiple teams that work continuously on building fully-packaged, fully automated HA data systems, I suspect that this stuff is harder than it looks.

I need to setup an address to correspond to. For now I am willing to answer questions in here.

I'm hesitant to post too many details here in the forum. It would be pretty easy for potential attackers to lookup my prefixes and forcefully "test" my network.
>We called the police and they told the lady if she didn't get out they'd jump in and remove her by force.

I bet if they knocked her unconscious and dragged her from the pool, they'd be in trouble too. At least I hope so.

Isn't the whole point of police training to learn to deal with these situations safely and as peacefully as possible? If you can just shoot or punch everyone who's causing a disturbance, what do you need any training for?
CAN is a request-response bus, you send a query, get ACK, then queried chip sends response. If you need to read something, you query for it. You can do queries like "start giving me rpm data every 1s", but you need to query for this, also ecu has limited resources for such queries, so you need to switch between different sets of data. Of course if something else requests such data you can listen for it too.

There are several social and economical theories that consider a central government, and thus the state, unnecessary.
Historically the anarchism movement is maybe the most known, but recently other schools of thoughts are getting relatively important, such as communalism and democratic confederalism (mostly relevant in the context of the revolution in northern Syria).

Even communism in its final form (i.e. past the dictatorship of proletariat transitioning phase) should be a stateless and classless society, however historically "communist" states failed to get past this transitioning phase (due to a refusal to give up power by the State, I guess) and ended up in a State Capitalism system, as in the USSR and in China.

However, to be honest I don't know this topic in detail enough to teach anyone, so I can only suggest you to look for more info in case you're interested.
Does the US have a employer withholding system (i.e. if you get paid $1000 in a week, your employer withholds and remits whatever the pro rata amount is for $52,000 annual income to the Tax Office)? We have that in Australia, and it definitely simplifies the process for workers at the end of the year.

Personally, I've always liked the idea of a 'standard deduction'. People with a steady paying job for the whole year, and simple tax affairs, don't have much of a reason to fill out a tax return given how much data our Tax Office pulls in from other sources (e.g. your bank interest gets pre-filled). The longest part of the whole exercise is claiming all those little work-related deductions here and there. For most people I don't think this ever exceeds $1000 total.

So if the government just gave everyone a default $1000 deduction, combined with pre-filling, filing a tax return for most people would be a simple matter of looking at the summary and hitting 'agree'. You could even take it one step further: if you don't fill out a tax return the government assumes you agree that your default return is correct.

We almost had this in Australia [0]. It was a measure in our 2010-11 Federal Budget [1], but we didn't go through with it for.... reasons...

[0] And there's good reason to believe it would have radically simplified things. I recall 'tax agents' really hating the idea for some strange reason.

Tax rules used to be even more difficult, and filing the tax forms used to be manual. So, at least in NL there's been some progress over two decades (compared to in the USA, as mentioned in the article), and filing a simple yearly tax statement is indeed reduced to 20-30 minutes. Mainly because many exceptions have been deprecated over the last decades, also reducing the operating costs of the DTA.

The system of subsidies ("toeslagen") for rent, health care, child daycare and such is complicated indeed... but not really related to tax (although it is sometimes capped based on the income). It was a political coincidence/agreement that the responsibilities for paying those subsidies was put at the Dutch Tax Administration, as that agency was more used to receiving (tax) payments than paying subsidies to citizens. Culturally, handing out money didn't 'fit' the tax administration well in the beginning, but there was no other agency in NL that was deemed capable of getting it done in a short time.
Hmm it should be available for anything above Android 4.4, maybe I did something wrong with the beta.

Will look into it now.
What's weird -- not to say ignorant -- about this article is that it ignores the base-load / peak-load issue that lies at the heart of actual utility economics.

Electricity is sold to households at a flat rate by the joule (metered by the kWh), typically with a fixed monthly fee tacked on.

But wholesale electricity price fluctuates based on demand. Everybody knows this: in the height of summer when everybody's A/C is cranking away, the utilities have to fire up their nasty diesel-powered generators. They beg their commercial customers to reduce demand. Long distance transmission lines warm up and sag a bit. If worst comes to worst, the utilities reduce the voltage on their sendout.

The utilities have to invest capital in well, capacity. If you know you never need more than 1 mW, and never less than 0.5 mW, you can build your distribution system for the peak, install four 0.25mW generators, and run two of them all the time and the other two when you need them. But if you might need 10mW on a hot day, and 0.5mW all the time, you have to spend a bundle on reserve capacity.

Load management is persuading energy users to avoid surges, and to shut off nonessential stuff when not needed.

But the typical electric grid isn't smart enough to handle this automatically. The load manager at the power company has to telephone Wal-Mart stores and ask them to turn off some lights and raise their thermostats. My electric vehicle charges at an appointed time of day, not when there's excess power capacity.

The smarter the grid gets, the better use of capital the power company can make.

Restoring power from blackouts is the worst. Electric motors draw a surge of power when they start. If a large city gets power restored all at once, the surge is huge.
>It's a mess in the US because Turbotax

Which is odd, because I've used Turbotax (and others) in Canada and it's also been a breeze.

OpenAI reveals a new step towards AI by inventing a language
Once in college I decided to see how hard I could run around the track. I finished the lap, but my heart was racing like mad and my vision was fading in and out. I just laid down on the ground for a while, and nothing bad happened.

I decided that was a monumentally stupid thing to do and never did it again. I jog regularly, but never push it past a modest point.
This is good! I guess a bit of thought can go a long way toward good workarounds. I'd hazard that it is harder if a taboo glyph is in both particular nouns though.

Excellent breakdown of energy consumption by sector since 1950: https://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/pdf/sec2.pdf

The source is the same as the original article (U.S. Energy Information Administration), it just shows a much broader (and deeper) picture. As a result, you may draw different conclusions.
This is the most depressing comment in the thread.

It's not about how long we live, it's about how long we live while we are in our prime... Gen 1 tech issues... we are extending lives, we aren't really extending prime years... so all we're doing is stretching out that twilight-period. Every time I visit my 97 year-old grandparents they say things like, "I pray I'll go soon..."

I'd rather just go quick at 50 than prolong my years after 70. The thought of perpetually being old and frail sounds like some sort of torture. And while it may be appealing to say, "I'd like to stay 21 forever..." 21 year-olds tend to be idiots and the thought of having "21 year-old problems" forever sounds like a whole other form of torture.

It's already happening. Anyone who's worked at a startup before and has been burnt is unlikely to accept the vesting and the work conditions. That's in part why it's to hard for companies to recruit experienced tech workers.

It's probably not anywhere in america.

Szhenzen is pretty close to being the global center of hardware innovation and getting into software in a climate where state funding and commercial enterprise is merged in a way california havent seen since the rise of modern liberatarian economics in the 80ies.

The birthplace of the web at CERN is also still in play as a center where lots of things happens.

And thats before we head into the fringes where the oil exploration industry is leading in VR research almost as an afterthought of having to process and visualize the kind of big data most big data start ups only dreams about being able to handle.

Remember that Xerox wasn't an IT company but a printing/photocopier copier so it's just as reasonable to expect that the next big leap will come from someone that is not currently seen as an IT giant, as to go looking within the Californian IT industry.
I've never lived in LA, but trust me I would be permanently based there if I could. Luckily i get to visit several times a year out of choice.

I have lived in London, and I work there lots also, living about 1 hour outside it on the train.

Both have their pros and their cons. To say however that LA is lacking in urban identity comparing one to the other doesn't, for me, do either justice.

The Spanish inspired architecture of areas like the Hollywood Hills, juxtaposed with the small but very well formed downtown LA area, which both has amazing modern architecture and some amazing vintage art deco buildings like the Oviatt building and it's amazing penthouse mean LA has some fantastic places to see. But yes, if you drive down certain streets you'll come across endless rows of nondescript bungalows on boring looking streets, and vast industrial estates which offer nothing to see at all - connected by a network of freeways (which everyone knows you should just avoid at certain times of the day if at all possible).

Similarly, London, arguably a city many hundreds of years older than LA in the first place - also has some amazing culture and architecture - but wander up to the Wembley area and down some side streets and trust me, it's not exactly a world-class destination! Ever been to Staines?

Both have things to offer. And certain people won't like one over the other. I myself don't particularly like San Francisco, and New York, impressive as it is, is a bit too much like London for my own tastes.

Each to their own. But to say LA is featureless and lacking in urban identity makes me think you need to spend some serious time in that city, get to know the distinct neighbourhoods for a good week at a time, and really enjoy what the Angelinos take for granted.
The other term for "non-state hostile intelligence service" is "free press".
>How could the White House impose a private service to operate the account against their will?

They couldn't, and shouldn't be allowed to. The government shouldn't force any private entity to do anything against their will, certainly not ban speech, when no laws are being broken.

The right to free speech extends to everyone, including idiots, racists and sociopaths. The problem is not where Donald Trump as a person falls within that set, but that Americans elected him President, and decided he should be the one to steer the ship of state, command the army, and control the nuclear arsenal.

This despite his having an established Twitter history that put his derangement on display. It's not as if no one could have seen this coming.

What should happen is the American people should not elect a President who could start a war over Twitter if it was possible to do so - someone with actual personal restraint and tact. But they wanted a troll to run the country, and now they just have to deal with the consequences.
>I meant is it really a free market when Intuit needs to pay off the government through lobbying to stop them making tax filing simpler so they can keep their market.

You make it sound as if the government is just dying to simplify this stuff, but Intuit won't let them.

Intuit lobbies in its self interest. There is nothing wrong with that. The damage is done by the politicians who listen to the lobbying effort and play along.
With today's networked data, assuming enough technological acceleration that all the web content gets archived, your Tweets, posts, and other writings could be available indefinitely. Not so sure that that's a good thing.
It's a bit scary when you're using K8S ephemeral storage and depending on a basebackup from another pod, but you can also set it up to restore from your usual backup system (WAL-E, pghoard, barman, pgBackrest). That way any time you lose a pod, you get a test of your backup system on restore.

Even contemporary fame and success is no guarantee of being remembered. I've stumbled across Wikipedia articles on countless authors who were hugely successful in the 19th and early 20th century, often publishing dozens of widely-read books, but who are already almost entirely forgotten. I'm sure they imagined they had done enough to secure a personal legacy, but it seems not.
> While I can understand the desire to avoid misallocation, this model assumes the funder has a better idea of what needs resources that the funded.

Reminds me of a (probably the) reason we're doing standardized testing in schools. A decent teacher is able to teach and test kids much better than standardized tests, but the society needs consistency more than quality, and we don't trust that every teacher will try to be good at their job. That (arguably, justified) lack of trust leads us as a society to choose worse but more consistent and people-independent process.

I'm starting to see this trend everywhere, and I'm not sure I like it. Consistency is an important thing (it lets us abstract things away more easily, helping turn systems into black boxes which can be composed better), but we're losing a lot of efficiency that comes from just trusting the other guy.

I'd argue we don't have many PARC and MIT around anymore because the R&D process matured. The funding structures are now established, and they prefer consistency (and safety) over effectiveness. But while throwing money at random people will indeed lead to lots of waste, I'd argue that in some areas, we need to take that risk and start throwing extra money at some smart people, also isolating them from demands of policy and markets. It's probably easier for companies to do that (especially before processes mature), because they're smaller - that's why we had PARC, Skunk Works, experimental projects at Google, and an occasional billionaire trying to save the world.

TL;DR: we're being slowed down by processes, exchanging peak efficiency for consistency of output.

That's a false dichotomy; the above example, which opposes narcissism (or similar) to shyness, is a very typical rationalization of the disadvantages of shyness.

In a way, shyness can be interpreted as lacking capacities to handle certain acts/contexts (eg. to communicate to another person if one would like to, and in the way one would like to); having such capacities though, is a necessary condition for their abuse, not a sufficient one.

In my perspective, the opposite of being shy is being socially confident: talking to other people/strangers without fear[s], if one wants. This is different from being a chat machine; abstractly, it's a capacity.

The problem of framing confidence (instead to narcissism and similar) as opposite of shyness, is that it's difficult to accept; nobody would say "I'd rather be me than a confident person".

edit: cleanup of mistakes and repetitions
That's one thing that has always bothered me about grave yards: how little the people end up leaving behind. An entire life gets reduced to a few meaningless facts about a person that don't really tell us anything about who they were. It would kind of be nice in that sense if there was more information available about a person to perhaps leave something behind. Maybe some wisdom or entertaining historical facts from the person... I dunno.

This is somewhat of a joke but: put sha256 hashes on grave stones that identify contracts on a decentralized cloud storage system and then fund them with enough coins to enforce their content for the next 1000 years. Technically you could use time-lock encryption to reveal progressive challenges to the hosting nodes to prove that the content still exists overtime so that an autonomous system that enforces content could be made (existing protocols somewhat depend on an active system to prove that the content still exists but this is getting a bit technical now... Or otherwise just embed content into a blockchain if its small enough.)

I guess there is also tomb stones that have QR codes on them that let you do something similar with an app but there's no guarantee that the company will still be around in the next 100 years. With a self-organising autonomous storage system you could have a way to intelligently reallocate content without any kind of human intervention. So that overtime if the people hosting content go down or decide to stop doing it, the storage contracts can be dynamically reallocated to new nodes who will collect fees from the contracts.

Much like a DropBox that never dies - it would far outlive anyone today and so long as the funds for hosting content still existed on some blockchain - so too would the content. And that my friends, is why blockchains are over-hyped and stupid. LMAO, blockchains for dead people? Did you really buy that. I mean, seriously.
