This is precisely why the USA need to get on the HST gravy train. Fast, reliable trains provide a way for people who cannot afford living in the more densely populated area (or don't want to) a way to live in a huge house with a yard and a pool 100 miles from said populated area. You then have an hour long commute every day (door to door), which is quite long, sure, but bearable.
Why is the real estate market "the real story"? Seems like the real story is that facebook ought to pay its cafeteria workers more.
>you better hope all the things that people want to buy and other people want to sell are good for society

What are you even on about? Things that weren't acceptable to buy and sell fifty years ago are now. What is good for society anyway and more importantly who should decide that?
You have to define "shitty" in this context. I agree that there are a lot of bad drivers out there. But even with those bad drivers, people driving while texting/intoxicated, and with older vehicles that don't have all the latest safety and assistive driving features, the fatality rate in the US is still something like 1 per 100 million miles. There are a lot of auto-related deaths in the US but there are a lot of miles driven.
Hmm, there is a competitive MK scene, though. It's nothing compared to, say, Smash, but then racing in general is not an eSport with the level of exposure/prestige as strategy, FPS, or fighting games, it seems.

AI doesn't have to be statistical. It can be rule-based, for example. The reason it's useless is that knowing your headset has "AI" in it doesn't tell you anything about its functionality.
Turning off safety features sounds like a bad idea. You can turn off the fusebox or circuit breaker in your house with a penny per circuit, but should you?
For the blogging app, the goal is really to encourage daily thinking and writing, not necessarily to create the best source of deep content.

I do think many long articles should actually be short articles, though. You can say a lot in 450 words.

Per-day pricing seems less attractive to me now. I'm starting to think apps should be pay-for-value, not per-per-use. So, I agree that a yearly or monthly licence/subscription might be better.

That's a luxury problem. It's like saying that you're better off without ECC because you don't have to deal with memory corruption. With a single sensor, you still have to deal with inaccuracies, the difference is that with only one you just don't know if you have it or not.

I use Ansible for deployment and Ansible Vault for storing encrypted config files in the repo. Of course, it's always a bit of a nightmare scenario that you accidentally commit unencrypted files, right?

Well, I have "make encrypt" and "make decrypt" commands that will iterate over the files in an ".encrypted-files" file. Decrypt will also add a pre-commit hook that will reject any commit with a warning.

This is tons easier than trying to remember the ansible-vault commands, and I never have to worry about trying to remember how to permanently delete a commit from GitHub.
Got to get people to use Edge somehow. Also try banning installers from adding pinned icons so users don't use Chrome, banning installers from setting defaults so users don't use Chrome, When you do open Chrome adding adverts for Edge to the screen (it's totally faster guys, come on). Banning browsers from the Windows Store, and thus Windows 10S.

The literal story is about food workers who can't afford to raise a family in Palo Alto. The intended message seems to be that Facebook should pay food workers more than $20/hr.

I think it's acceptable for people to ponder outside of that claim.

My use case for Paint is highlighting one off screenshots for clients and the like. Nobody is going to send your sort of screenshot in a professional environment, it looks like it was marked up by a kindergartner.

My workflow: I open up snipping tool, take a screenshot, copy it, paste it in Paint, mark it up quickly (arrow tool or circle/rounded corners tool usually), and either save it or (usually) copy it and paste it into an email or Word Doc. Super easy and quick, I can do this in the time it takes GIMP to load or another program to download, its also always there. I do this on a monthly basis at least.

I've never had to do anything more advanced.
I agree with this view.
"Americans have an impoverished and immature conception of technology, one that fetishizes innovation as a kind of art and demeans upkeep as mere drudgery."

Pretty much hits the nail on the head, although I want to note this does not exclusively apply to Americans (but maybe a bit more than Europeans; technology is often a lot cheaper in the US: it is not uncommon that the amount of dollars paid for an item is lower than the amount of euros, even though euros are worth quite a bit more).

It is especially bad for phones. Many people I who are (almost annoyingly) aware of the environment buy a new phone every year.

I am guilty myself too. My current phone is about two years old. It has a full HD screen, a luxury that I don't even need on my laptop (about half of the time, I work on a 1440x900 thinkpad). And, to be honest, it is getting quite sluggish. When I open dropbox or tinder, I experience a delay up to 10 seconds, which is quite ridiculous (it especially bothers me that software seems to get slower, more bloated, and more abstract and complicated). People's first reaction to hearing this is "Just buy a new phone, man". I shouldn't be, but I am indeed considering this.
It's better because fewer people are poor and the number continues to decline: https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty/

We got a couple at my company and I've built some protoypes for it, and threw up a little blog for it. The cool thing is the HoloToolkit which seems to be maintained by some xbox developers, and scripts all the functionality you need to get off the ground.

The hard part has been coming up with prototypes that go beyond a cool experience, and solve some customer's problem. It doesn't recognize what it's looking at, as much as it's just recognizing the shape of what it's looking at. You have to write the functionality to then determine what it is. Though the HoloToolkit does have scripts that will recognize walls, floors, tables. But it falls really short of the wild ideas my co-workers come up with. There are some example projects out there that will show you how to determine faces, which is cool. But the best ideas most people have, the beta Skype app already knocks it out of the park.

Getting more users for x certainly helps mature it. However, making it a library also tends to freeze it. So ideally we'd have ways to encourage people to use something without guaranteeing its interface. I think this is a social problem; we need more libraries that have signs on them saying, "alpha software, compatibility not guaranteed," and we need greater awareness among developers that this is a good thing, that being willing to switch interfaces every once in a while results in a better eco-system in the long term.
Teradata contributes the Facebook open-source project Presto. Presto uses Docker to run tests against Presto. Since the tests require Hadoop to do much of anything useful, we install Hadoop in docker containers.

And we run tests on 3 flavors of Hadoop (HDP, CDH, and IOP), each of which is broken down into a flavor-base image with most of the packages installed, and various other images derived from that, which means we have a dependency chain that looks like:

base-image -> base-image-with-java -> flavor-base => several other images.

Enter make, to make sure that all of these get rebuilt in the correct order and that at the end, you have a consistent set of images.

https://github.com/Teradata/docker-images

But wait, there's more. Docker LABEL information is contained in a layer. Our LABEL data currently includes the git hash of the repo. Which means any time you commit, the LABEL data on base-with-java changes, and invalidates everything downstream. This is terrible, because downloading the hadoop packages can take a while. So I have a WIP branch that builds the images from an unlabelled layer.

https://github.com/ebd2/docker-images/tree/from-unlabelled

As an added bonus, there's a graph target that automatically creates an image of the dependency graph of the images using graphviz.

Arguably, all of the above is a pretty serious misuse of both docker and make :-)

I can answer complaints about the sins I've committed with make, but the sins we've committed with Docker are (mostly) not my doing.

The workers are employed by Flagship Facility Services. I assume it's fairly common to contract out the operation of your cafeteria, versus managing that in-house. Their wages are mentioned in the article...$19.85/hr and $17.85/hr. It that unusually low for someone working at, say, a table-service chain restaurant in the same area?

Edit: Comparison to tipped workers seems apples/oranges. More curious if ~$18/hr is unusually low for a worker in a similar, non-tipped, job in the same area. Like maybe a BBQ restaurant where the service is similar to a cafeteria.
> So, maybe the most effective sort of activism right now would be to produce something that the Chinese government wants to exist, which can't exist without VPN traffic.

But isn't this use case—academia—already a very crucial aspect of society that China wants to exist? If this won't convince the CCP it's difficult to imagine what would.
Not something I have personal experience with, but I have heard a story about a Makefile-operated tokamak at the local university.

No, I don't think it matters. Obviously there's a line you have to draw, like tabs vs spaces, but I don't care if you place your commas differently from me. Code being so ugly it's hard to read is a problem, but arbitrary fashion is not worth the time.

Two things I'd want to know before even entertaining the idea:

1. Are these safe during an MRI?

From what I've been able to find some chips seem fine during an MRI (Kari of MythBusters had one implanted and had an MRI done with no problems on an episode), but the FDA lists MRI incompatibility as a potential health concern for chip implants.

At least one manufacturer that says their chips are safe for MRI do say that people undergoing an MRI with their chips need to be continually monitored visually and aurally and told to alert the operate if the feel anything unusual, and patients who are sedated or anesthetized or confused should not be given MRIs.

2. Will these show up during the security check at airports? I dislike commercial air travel to the point that I have no intention of ever taking it again, but if I do, or if these oppressive security theater shows get extended to other forms of transit that I'm still currently open to, I don't like the idea of something that might trigger more extensive screening.

Bonus concern: how standardized is this stuff? If implanted chips for payments, opening doors, etc., take off and all kinds of places support them, is one chip enough or am I going to need one to unlock my office, one for my home, one for my car, one to pay via my credit card account (or worse, a separate one corresponding to each credit card account), one for buses, one for each store's rewards program, and so on?
I just wanted to add that Pinta 1.6 (which is the current stable version in the official Arch repos, for example) has awfully slow rectangle/selection tools on larger images. In my case, selecting something in a 2000x2000 image would freeze the whole program for a couple of seconds. Same with resizing or dragging a selection. It was pretty much useless.

But 1.7 fixes this issue. It's a development version and not considered "stable" yet (though I haven't experienced any issues so far).
> 2. Ethereum software has security hole, gets hacked

The last time this was discussed on Hacker News, I found this comment particularly instructive: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14810008

It points out a great many fundamental issues with the Solidity contract language. Basically, the language design sounds extremely amateurish and it appears to have ignored everything we've learned about security in the last 30 years. Samples:

- "Operators have different semantics depending on whether the operands are literals or not. For example, 1/2 is 0.5, but x/y for x==1 and y==2 is 0."

- "All state is mutable by default (this includes struct fields, array elements, and locals). Functions can mutate state by default"

- "Order of evaluation is not defined for expressions. This in a language that has value-returning mutating operators like ++!"

I wouldn't trust a Solidity smart contract with $100.

Ironically your second link starts with Clever Hans, which is another example of my point. Machines, even organic ones like our brains, are not magically able to know objective reality, and the failure itself isn't idiocy — the rate of failure (and things like metecognition about the possibility of failure) is (at last part of) the intelligence-idiocy spectrum.
I think people are pondering outside of that claim because young programmers in Palo Alto also want cheap real estate so there's a shared interest. But things this article brings up that are more uncomfortable for the members of this board to think about like paying service workers more or pondering this:

“They look at us like we’re lower, like we don’t matter,” said Nicole of the Facebook employees. “We don’t live the dream. The techies are living the dream. It’s for them.”

The smaller indignities are numerous. At the end of every shift, Nicole watches large amounts of leftover food go into the compost – food that she’s not allowed to take home. Cafeteria workers only enter Facebook’s medical clinics if they’ve been selected for a mandatory drug test. Facebook recently held a “Bring your kids to work” day, but cafeteria workers’ children were not allowed.

are going to go untalked about. And what's the problem with saying that Facebook should pay it's workers more than $20/hr? If it's not enough to live on, that's kind of all there is to it isn't there?

Just to be clear - I'm not advocating for minimum wage jobs to put a family of 4 (or 5) in the middle class bracket.

What I'm advocating for is that (2!) minimum wage jobs should afford rent, food, and medical/dental expenses. There is absolutely no excuse why $75k combined income should afford a 2 or 3 br apartment, food, and to keep the kids healthy.

The only options are to a) either lower costs to make things affordable, b) raise the lower end of the pay scale, or c) sacrifice the luxuries/services that come with low paying jobs (fast food, manual labor services, etc).

a) will never happen, prices will only rise until all the tech companies go bust or move
b) to raise the lower end of the pay scale the higher end would have to sacrifice salaries
c) most likely to happen - or be replaced with automation -driving these families and jobs out of the area completely.

I'm interested to see how SV will develop over the next 15-20 years. It will probably end up being over paid tech-workers and robots automating everything else.
a cloud transition

I disagree that this is a "good" thing. Cloud being parlance for someone else's computer.

This is not pure "get off my lawn" garbage. Try communicating how to save and transfer a protected zip file with sensitive data to pretty much any non-developer. These are essential tasks, and if you only socialize with technical folks, sure, everybody will be on the same page, but that leaves 90% (or more) of the rest of the world nearly clueless and left out in the cold. Whoops!

EDIT: To elaborate, consider the palpable difference in technical confidence between Ed Snowden and Laura Poitras. Technical people often gasp at the things Snowden had to carefully explain. Realities that are painfully obvious to power users.

This sort of skill differential is extremely common, and the amount of babying and hand-holding ordinary users often require is painful to behold. My claim is that the obscurity of essential activities is the root of this sort of thing. Editing raw pixels with precision, taken as a simple example.
