SF's Muni also uses an advanced, communications-based moving block system. It too has been troublesome. OTOH when it (and the employees) works, it's amazing to see the trains move through the station maybe 15-20 seconds behind the previous train.

Even describing the employees' emotional state is unfair to labor, as emotions may not have entered into the decision to protest and emotions are perceived to be less important than cold business logic. Thee workers may need the benefits to survive in their community. When an employer cuts wages or hours or jobs, they say that there are no emotions involved, it's just business.

If I were you I would be more careful with the connotations of the language you choose, being mindful of how it is likely to be perceived.

> Ask yourself this: who is the most famous maintainer you can think of? (Not someone who devised an innovation and then maintained it - pure maintenance)

What do you consider innovation? Two I'd point to are Bram Moolenaar (vim) and Linus Torvalds. They both wanted to clone existing systems, not to innovate. The same goes for many other open source creators, they had a need to solve, it wasn't a creative exercise.
I'd say there's no fine line between maintenance and innovation. Many innovations arise in response to the pains of maintenance.

The thing is, without a truly standard stack, the best integration of the stack comes from gluing it together ourselves.

We use a mix of APIs from the SaaS services we use and Zavier to capture the data points we need and make the services work well together. The availability of access filters into our descision, but it seems like at some point it may make sense to roll our own replacement for some.

Intercom has been great and our customers love it. But it is getting increasingly difficult to keep deeply integrated with the rest of our stack.

If you are a HIPAA covered entity, you probably shouldn't be allowing anyone to have the ability to install any software, including browser extensions, on any workstation they can use to access PHI, and any centrally installed software should have a privacy and security review before being permitted.

Of course, I know that's often not true, but that's a high-level organizational failure.

I'm a big fan of index funds or robo advisors (on top of index funds) for the bulk of one's investments. A little individual stocks on the side and a high-interest checking / savings account are a decent way to round it out.

If you're looking at investing five figures or more and unsure of allocation, it's worth doing a bit of research or sitting down with a financial professional.

Also remember that everyone has their own risk tolerances. If people give you advice like "never buy individual stocks", that's just their way of saying that their risk tolerance is below average. It's worth feeling out how much you'd be comfortable losing in exchange for potentially greater rewards.

Kind of fucked up that the article doesn't mention the fees associated with these cards until like 3/4 of the way into the article.

These cards charge 5 bucks a month, plus like 3 dollars to deposit cash, 3 dollars to withdraw cash, in addition to the 5-10 dollars up front for the card itself.

Because of this, a person using this type of card can easily spend $100+ a year on fees. Not exactly a great way to save money, and hardly better than overdrafts.

If at all possible, people in this sort of situation would be much better served by joining a credit union. While there are some drawbacks in terms of hours and atm availability, many CU's do not charge overdrafts and also have some form of atm reimbursement. This, along with the ability to deposit checks by snapping a pic with your phone make them a viable, and preferable alternative. Sadly, they are not as prominent, nor well advertised as the sort of cards peddled by Wal-mart, et. al.
A paltry sum of money is the first step to a reasonable sum of money. An interest in saving a paltry sum of money is arguably a useful skill for people earning paltry sums of money, as I'd hazard a guess that it should encourage them to spend less on useless garbage they don't really need. Gamifying this to the benefit of both parties is capitalism at work. Any comparison to slavery is beyond ridiculous.
I think it's important to distinguish the hardcore anti-pharmaceutical attitude from the more reasonable position that, while someone may perform better while taking a medication in some measurable aspects, it may nonetheless be ideal to leave people unmedicated if they would not otherwise be destitute. We may thus model the medicated state as a local maximum but perhaps not the desired result (in particular, we have chosen to err on the more familiar side of the state-space). Conversely, I would have a hard time arguing against, if someone found that moderate regular alcohol consumption had a curative effect on a severe problem, their choosing to continue it.

We hit this in Cloud Foundry Buildpacks, where all the builds and logs are completely public[0].

The team wrote and added Concourse-Filter[1]. You stream logs through it. It compares what's going past to current environment variables. Anytime something goes past that looks like one of the environment variables, it blanks it out.

You can set a whitelist for things you're not fussed about.

However, recently I discovered Halogen [0]. It is very similar to Elm Architecture, however, every component has its own _internal_ state, so you do not have to thread all state changes to the top-level component. It does this by existentially quantifying over the State [1].

Halogen is written in Purescript, which is a transpiler for javascript (yes transpiler, not compiler). Which means you basically get javascript semantics with a haskell typesystem + very good interop with JS, and no runtime system. The code purescript generates is actually readable. [2]

Europe is about bringing everyone to the average. It is not a land of extremes like the US. Your $150k example salary is super super high for Europe so it's going to get pushed way down to be closer to the average.

If you take your example but change the salary to any number in the lower / middle class range, you are going to be far better off.

That is just the nature of the EU vs the US. If you're rich, the US is great. If you're not rich, you're probably better off in Europe.

- Personalization

- eCommerce and Cart recovery

- Programmatic Ad Buying (including automatic credit for any bot traffic detected by WhiteOps above 3% threshold)

- DMP, that syncs in real-time with your Analytics/segmentation and cart recovery software.

Compare you're localized (hotspot) mobility to what the West experienced at the end of the 1800s. China is a much better example and I dislike China.

You're saying I am technically correct about India being socialist.

The reason India has mobility is the same reason black markets or black economies exist in Communist countries. Where there is a lack of government or public services, black markets will form to fill the gap, capitalism. See USSR, Yugoslavia, and North Korea. Difference is India seems to allow it. There is another comment below about staring schools in a garage for poor people. From what I've seen India has these shadow schools.

> I believe Title 4 of the US Code, which details respectful treatment of the national flag, requires that this be done.

The cited provision requires nothing, it is purely descriptive (“it is the universal custom that...” is not “everyone who flies a flag shall...”)

There is, for actual requirements, like those regarding advertising use of the flag in 4 USC Sec. 3. But section 6 subsections either describe custom or describe what “should” be done, and thus are not requirements in any sense.

Heck I bet within a 5 mile radius it varies. Just go to east palo alto and then go to "not east" palo alto. The reasons I think are pretty obvious and almost certainly correlated with how affluent your neighbors are. Money basically solves all problems when it comes to wealth related problems like access to good schools and healthcare. Even though in theory healthcare and education should not be so strongly coupled to money.
The second is real silicon. I have a couple. But all this talk is missing the point. For companies looking to design a product for which the processors is a means to an end, RISC-V holds a tremendous time-to-market advantage and full complete control of your own destiny. That, more than anything, will matter for the 1st wave of adopters. (RV has other technical merits that you for some reason discount).
Secrets or credential management is hard, but the first step is to centralise. Many folk use Vault. There's also Knox, KeyWhiz and I forget some others. I've been a secrets-management product team (CredHub) for several months now.

We've looked at different ways of shuttling secrets but really, it's going to be specific to the context. For example, one job our software does is to hand credentials to a trusted BOSH director during deployments. That's basically done at this point and works very nicely from an operator perspective.

But then when we look at handing secrets to applications, or getting secrets to CI, it's a bit trickier.

We use Concourse a lot and for Concourse the next major track of work centres entirely around creating a secrets-management layer that backs onto secret-management systems.

I'm sure you are talking about antidepressants, but I wonder if the same isn't true for people who have consumed recreational drugs for extended periods. It seems natural that if you regularly alter your internal chemistry, the natural processes that would happen in an unaltered states (such as psychological maturation) would also be altered. I also wonder if there isn't a standardized therapy kind of like PT for physical injuries for bringing people back up to speed emotionally.

I think it would have been a lot harder to switch if I had made heavy use of extensions. The only thing I go back to vim for at this point is vimdiff.

Sure, Youtube would be the first app no doubt about it, I'd like to see Casey Neistat on TV every night, but now imagine instagram, snapchat, twitter, facebook and all social apps on your TV. Phones will still be widely used on the go, but once people get home they get splatted on the couch and TV would become the main screen from where to enjoy all possible entertainment.

I personally was thinking as a developer, I'd like to code on my TV, I'm sick of the desktop and the laptop, my eyes and back are suffering the most. I need a comfortable chair LazyBoy-style ten feet away from the screen with a wireless keyboard and trackpad which can be used as remote, that's it, nothing else. So for me it would be Xcode and Sublime on my TV, HN and Reddit, and the possibility to develop a million apps just like your iPhone/Android. One single box, the size of a soap bar, attached to your TV, and let developers make it the new platform. Desktops and laptops would be the first casualties (except for enterprises). That's my vision.

Never underestimate the imagination of a million developers with new and shiny toys. TV is the next wave.
