If Congress was in favor of backdoors in encryption, we would have backdoors in encryption. When Congress agrees on something, it passes law.

The reality right now is that most members of Congress either don't want backdoors, or don't hold a strong enough opinion to want to upset the status quo.

That can change, of course, and we should all be taking steps to let Congress know that we don't want backdoors, that they are a bad idea. But it's not ideal to start from an incorrect sense of that everyone wants backdoors.

You have to find out what your member of Congress thinks. Luckily it's easy--they have a form on their site for questions from their constituents.
So I believe this will also mean WebAssembly on by default. It'll be interesting to see what impacts that has.

Hi Jason,

I have a few questions.

While I have been working in tech industry as backend engineer for 3 years (startups including) I don't have an undergrad degree in CS/Software (I have an M.Sc in Physics). Would that disqualify a candidate like me from being admitted?

What advantage would this course give over an M.B.A?

What kind of recognition do you think this degree would get in the industry being that it is a new program?
Guessing this means that there IS a backdoor in Signal for the CIA/NSA.
Nothing carrying objects more than 14 feet in their shortest dimension (minus whatever the sled wheels take up), but that is only a very small portion of commercial traffic.
Backdoors are always a bad idea, because there is no way to guarantee that they'll only be used as intended.
I am not that old, but I remember reading a headline like this on Slashdot once... The results have been less than stellar. When my non-tech enabled friends complain about tech support, it's usually with a fake Indian accent. I think the "IT professional" in India has hurt quite a few off-shoring companies.
Will do. I feel it as a pull rather than a drive, a nice counterbalance to the hoarding instinct.

It's almost more about making sure everything's in the rest of my life, rather than where I sleep, if that makes any sense?
Do you mean average MBA cost, or tuition per year. 26k is very low for two year tuition, even at a state school, and if you are out of state it is going to be a lot higher.

This site says average two year tuition is 60k.

I can only speak from experience for Hong Kong's MTR system. It has over 100% farebox recovery as well. Fares are distance-based [0] so it's hard to tell, but the average seems to be US$1.20 or so per person (unless you are traveling to Shenzhen) one way, which doesn't include transfers to the privately-run buses. If you believe in the Big Mac index at all this doesn't seem to be much more expensive compared to the US. (Note that it doesn't include transfers to buses.)

But the MTR actually was subsidized by the government, which let MTR Corporation develop the land above the subway to make malls and stuff, which they make even more money on. Presumably some of this profit gets reinvested into the system itself.

I think you are typing this sitting at your comfortable 1% Valley workplace.

Nowhere in the world does $55K a year before tax provide anywhere like 'good life'. It means endless misery and generational psychological poverty passed on to your children. Only reason of doing it is if your desire to exert psychological pressure on your wife is greater than even desire to consume. It simply doesn't sound healthy, and it is almost a crime against children, because they will grow dirt poor and view this crap as normal.

Background: i earned just $45K a year after tax one year in my life, 10 years ago. I had no children back then. I still spent $60K eating out some of my savings, having to cut on anything including some food, and it felt so crappy i don't advise anyone to repeat my experience.

Sure, $102K isn't too much either. But it puts you into a totally different league anyway. I can imagine how to survive on $102K with a kid in a cheap place, if your house is fully paid and you are an introvert, but not $55K.

Not only do I systematically get dropped calls, but also enraging UI bugs, e.g.: interrupting calls from other apps (whatsapp, phone, google hangouts, etc.) fails to put the slack call on hold and renders the "hang up" button ineffective.

To be honest, I didn't think this Bloomberg piece was worth it; and I did perceive the advice from Elon ("stick to what we do best and focused") to be more about a focus on execution than to stay away from self-driving cars, which in my view seems quite reasonable for an earlier stage company.
That's the difference though, they're not talking about putting tons of people down there, they're talking about putting a small handful at a time (at most) by using cars. It appears much less efficient.
> Ironically, our conservative friends and family have never said a word about whether she works or tends home; they're very laissez-faire about the matter.

The fair comparison would be to see how they reacted if your roles were reversed: if she worked and you made her lunch.
I don't agree with you, but I can appreciate that belief. I'm curious if the feeling is mutual, because the way some people talk, having borders is craaaazy talk.

To me, it is quite analogous to one's home - while some people might be personally ok with strangers letting themselves in and sleeping on the couch, I am personally not ok with it. Perhaps you've spent considerable time and money putting things into a state that you find pleasant, I'd rather keep it more or less in that state, otherwise maybe I'd have just sat around and relaxed rather than expending all the effort and money.

I'm fine with others personally disagreeing with this philosophy, but I'm not ok with the fairly common claim that "it doesn't make any difference", or having to pay for the consequences of alternative philosophies. But then to be fair, the west has saddled many parts of the rest of the world with "extreme inconvenience" to put it mildly, so you could certainly argue that this is our just desserts.
People have been saying that since like 2005. Web apps may not be your personal preference, but they're not the apocalypse either.
Graduate student at Cornell Tech, amazing program to learn graduate level machine learning and cs topics with a deep dive into product/startup development.

I was in Tokyo recently. You can cross most of the city by subway/train for ~300 yen, or $2.66 USD at today's change rate. Compare to San Francisco, where I live. A Muni ticket is around $2.25, and a BART ticket ~$4... both with much worse service and smaller coverage.

You could argue, perhaps, that the price is expensive relative to what Japanese people earn, but from my impression it was a very effective and reasonably priced public transportation system.
So what was the problem? Why couldn't we add more and more more things to build it slowly into a more general AI?

Sure. Why didn't we have electric cars before tesla? Why didn't Boeing or Lockheed Martin make reusable rockets?

Alan Kay said something[1] recently that has been bouncing around my head for the past few days. He said that many people think darwinian processes (like the economy) optimize. "One my degrees is in molecular biology, and I can tell you, any biologist would say they're absolutely not optimized. The whole point is to fit into some niche in an environment. And if the environment isn't the right kind of environment evolution isn't going to give you something interesting".

In the context of the economy, if there's no innovation, and not enough competition, and no new players entering a market, I don't think its all that surprising that the existing companies might stop reaching to be more efficient.

It seems strange to think that companies would leave money on the table, but in older industries I think this is exactly what happens. The money just requires too much organizational churn for their corporate appetite.

But even with the stations, escalators and everything else, you're talking about orders of magnitude between trains and cars. London during peak hour has trains arriving less than 1 min 30 sec apart. They move an absolutely insane amount of people. Singapore's trains are entirely automated and arrive at <2min intervals at peak.

Everything about Musk's idea seems absolutely terrible. If America had better trains and subways, it could move massive amounts of people. Train automation is a solved problem, and currently implemented in cities around the world. There is absolutely no possible way in any reality where individual car/pod transport could even approach the capacity of real mass transit:

http://penguindreams.org/blog/self-driving-cars-will-not-sol...

Americans need to get over our wasteful individualism, our "alone time" in cars and realize you can read a book, watch a movie or do something not involving driving on real public transport. Buses need to stop being just a means of transport for the poor.

Yes, basically. If you drank water and ate grass with some protein mixed in now and then you'd be much better off. The problem I find with that is it's just painfully boring to do so.

> Airflow is necessary to keep passengers safe.

This has just made me wonder what happens in emergencies or system failures. Are the tunnels wide enough to open your door or climb out a window? How far apart and numerous are emergency exit hatches? Is there off-grid emergency lighting (e.g. battery-backed)?

There would be few things more upsetting than your sled coming to a halt, inside a dark tunnel, and being unable to get out of your car. It would activate the same part of your brain that fears being buried alive.

~12yr PM here - curious how you teach interactions with Eng, Design and other disciplines (at Facebook, we call this 'Leadership and Drive').

This has always been the toughest area for me to teach and I'm wondering if you can give some detail on how you approach this in your component that you mentioned (interactive workshops/personal mentoring).
Yup.

All of my cabinet shop friends basically have enough volume to keep 2+ spray finishers busy all-day every day, and are busy trying to get their per-sheet times from 5 minutes to less ;)

That's the low volume guys.
The high volume guys are just completely automated from material handling to flat line finishing.

Outside of startup costs, complete automation of this stuff isn't usually that expensive (<200k of machines).

Single proprietors will never compete with the level of automation you can easily get in the bay area.
And this is today's lame duck Japan, not the powerhouse it was. Most people don't truly appreciate the scope of China's size. They may know the number, but they don't intuitively understand it when thinking.
PMs at established tech companies can make $200k+ in salary and usually have extra massive stock options to boot. An Amazon PM averages something like $600k/year if they stick around for 5 years.

Make these tunnels cycling only, and sell electric bikes specially designed for such tunnels, and provide resting/charging stations in the tunnel. Higher throughput, even smaller tunnels.

> that somehow these little, for lack of a better word, toys are going to replace the actual machinery behind the products so many consume is demonstrably false

How old are you? I thought similar in the 1980's whenever I saw people tinkering with their toy PC's running DOS and Windows 3. They weren't going to replace MVS on an IBM mainframe, or VMS on a DEC, or VME on an ICL. The 'V' in those names stood for "virtual" -- how could PC's replace that?

Considering the majority of China's technical capability was gifted to them from western corporations, I don't think Japan's belief in their economic superiority was irrational, it was simply an observation of reality.

Afaik they do consider themselves racially superior though.

The Boring Company isn't just looking to build tunnels either- there's going to be a bunch of interesting infrastructure to get cars onto those electric sleds and operating them, and that'll need maintenance and access and etc too.

For what its worth, it hints that those sleds will also become public transit platforms as well - "if one adds a vacuum shell, it is now a Hyperloop pod" - but Musk will want to call it something cool like an Urban Hyperloop instead of just a subway.

Frankly it might matter to some people that it is self-hosted and open source. But I myself for one don't give a single wit about it. I want something that works for me and that makes my life easier as a developer. I already have my development problems to solve and in no way I want to add problems of the party that hosts my code.It's just not worth it.
If they give a positive value to brand then why not a negative value.
It could just build transit though couldn't it? Instead of sleds? Private companies operate passenger and freight rail networks, especially in the UK to my understanding.

One of the reasons that subways are built only in very large cities is that you need a very high population density to make it worthwhile because of the cost of digging the tunnels.

But what if the cost were a tenth as much? I posit that for a city of 500,000 - 1,000,000 it might become practical to have subways and that radically changes the transit equation.

So I am very bullish on Musk bringing down the cost of tunneling. It all depends on how low he's able to reduce the cost.

I'm paid to do my master's degree and it's still expensive. The difference between the job I left and my pay as a student is about $70k/year. Choosing to do my degree has left me roughly $200k poorer than I otherwise would have been.

I doubt it will ever be a net positive financially. It's worth it to me personally, though.

Not really. It doesn't function the same. Doing Command + Tab on a Mac shows them as the same application so you can't switch that way, you still have to use Command + ~ which is unlike all other apps in function as well as key combo. Also features like expose show the same framing around each website so if you have enough things open the only visual queue is a very tiny preview of the website which, depending on what you need to use, isn't always clear (at least not for me on my 13" MacBook).

It's a workaround that I do use but it's not a substitute I'm afraid. Windows handles this a little better, IMO, but it's still not great and the occasional crash of a web browser tab still sometimes takes the whole thing down.
