One way to make this better is to support the plan to inline the Capitol Corridor and ACE trains with Caltrain via the unused and abandoned Dumbarton rail bridge [0]. Make sure to tell your elected officials you support this.

The taxes that states and municipalities are giving them breaks on in order to lure them into the region?
This seems like the most logical solution. I think the issue is that the people who are impacted the most by these long commutes are workers who can't physically work remotely. The people who work for companies that could implement it, generally live close enough that the commute doesn't bother them in the first place.
> one that gives publishers a right to due process and doesn't put power over those decisions in the hands of a few CEOs like Prince.

Fox and CNN have the final say in the content they host, they don't give publishers due process. I don't see how google is any different, other than scope.
I have a wallet with a decently powerful magnet. Modern credit cards and devices seem to hold up fine. The only issue I've had is a parking garage ticket getting wiped.
The thing is we are not there yet. But this will eventually happen either by VR-like presence or just async style work (culture requiring less realtime interactions by design)
TensorFlow 1.3 released
Liberals like to talk big about the public transportation, but when it comes time to deliver they follow the unions' script that results in exuberant costs (to build the system and to run it) and extremely poor performance. And as a result the average folks and the poor suffer the most.
The manager of my current team came up with some complex way of solving a problem that we're facing as a business. He implemented a proof of concept and showed the business without involving anyone else in the dev team at all. Now the business wants to roll with this "solution" to a key part of our software we've been desperate to refactor with foresight of incoming requirements. Instead we're ploughing forward, saving refactoring for later to implement this proof of concept. No design work is to be done - only implementation because we're on a tight fictional deadline. He's throwing more developers on it to "help" and even micromanaging the implementation.

The same manager expressed displeasure that he wasn't involved in discussions with the business about a new project that rose whilst he was away on holiday.

Is driving over people violence?
The article makes many of the same errors that they accuse Damore of making. It's inherent in rhetoric, also known as "motivated reasoning". I guess whoever draws the line between rhetoric and comprehensive, good-faith arguments wins the day.
That seems rather inefficient and as though you'd want a standard across many models. I suspect it's worse than just crushing it up for reuse.
There are so many misconceptions in this post...

> why not put the pressure on the companies that are driving the influx of workers and out of control cost of living?

What do you hope to accomplish with this "pressure"? That these companies hire fewer people?

> Lower income housing?

Housing costs are one of those nasty problems where throwing money at it just doesn't work (and I'm saying this as a democratic socialist whose proposed solution to most problems is "tax the rich in order to throw money at it"). Imagine if big tech companies pledged a billion dollars or whatever to build a bunch of housing units. What would happen? This: other developers would pull back on new construction, because the pledge would throw a wrench in the supply/demand, and you'd be right back where you started.

The correct solution is upzoning and, to be blunt, disenfranchisement of NIMBYs.

> If tech companies are drawing people into cities and forcing out those who keep the city itself operating, why not have them subsidize and improve public transportation?

Most of the big ones do: they offer a lot of incentives to not drive, including paying for employees to take public transport or offering shuttle buses (which at least keep them out of cars).

> move their headquarters out of the city centers?

They aren't in city centers: 4 of the Big 5 (Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook) are all headquartered in suburbs. Only Amazon is headquartered in a city center.

> It seems crazy to me that people get driven out of their homes by real estate developers who re-develop due to tech-wages.

Why does that seem crazy? It's just supply-and-demand.

The article says she gets up at 2:15 but doesn't have to leave home until 4:00. As it's generally possible to get ready for work in less than 105 minutes, the "2:15 Alarm" bit highlighted in the headline is a little misleading.
Municipalities can choose that! But they don't, because the tax revenues from having jobs there is too lucrative.

On Android, you can do the same by running Google's Find My Device app and locking the phone. It will then require a password/passcode to unlock. It feels a bit funny to lock the very device you are holding in your hands, but it's simple and effective.
I far prefer Motif to Gnome. It's much lighter, I think it's much nicer looking (Gnome's default theme is really really ugly IMO, Motif feels well defined and simple.) and seems to have far fewer dependancies.

I've written software that uses both and I don't remember thinking that one was significantly easier than the other, I did dislike that they took control of the main loop, Plan9's method of synchronous event polling is much nicer IMO.
But she likes to take her time and have coffee. She keeps the lights low and the house quiet and Zen-like. “I just can’t rush like that,” she said.

> Docker Swarm secrets have been GA for longer thank k8s

I don't think that's true. Kube secrets were introduced 2015-02-17 and was considered GA in Kubernetes v1.0

> I think the pluggability of critical pieces like ingress and secrets was taken too far.

I think the pluggability is not the concern but the lack of an included solution. Part of the problem is that SOME platforms have an included solution - e.g. Google Cloud, and some need 3rd party code like nginx.

> I dont think that is true, it does manage its overlay networks pretty well

Overlays are a waste for most people. I get that making it simple is attractive, but it's (IMO) not something everyone wants or needs. Again, we could/should have had a built-in option.

Last I looked (admittedly a while ago) Swarm had a pretty deeply rooted notion of exposing ports on all nodes in the swarm, which means that if you have multiple containers that need to expose the same port, it was a problem. Kube takes extra complexity here, to make it possible to share arbitrarily.

Anyway, it's not my intent to bad-mouth Swarm or try to convince you that you're wrong. Different trade-offs were chosen for the two systems. Your feedback is noted and appreciated. :)
Anecdotal, but I have an Asus EEE from aeons ago (2010, I think?) that still has about 60%-70% battery health, which is not bad, considering that this little guy was brutally abused throughout its existence (it was my main PC in University).

I also have a first generation Moto G (~2014) and an app I have here (OS Monitor) reports 70% battery health. In practical terms, the battery lasts a day of normal usage.

On the other hand, I have a ~2 year old Toshiba, and Linux here is reporting 0% battery health and a "last full capacity" of 0 mAh. If I unplug it, it goes under in 5-10 minutes (factory battery life was about 2:30 hours).

I read that the biggest battery killer is heat, not charge/discharge cycles.

Regardless, and if I am not mistaken, that figure of 1000 charge cycles is for cycles of 100% discharge (or as close as you can get before the protection circuits cut in) followed by 100% charge. This rarely happens in the "real world" and thus that figure will probably be much higher when adjusted for real world conditions.
I was going to come in here and talk about how this strikes me more as a personal choice than a symptom of a systemic problem (i lived well in SF on $60k, and I mean for fucks sake Stockton? that is aggressively far. There are many great closer options.), but who cares.

This woman seems to have a really peaceful existence. It would be nice to have such relaxing routines in my own life, especially in the face of stressful realities like a long commute on public transit. It makes me want to develop the fortitude that this woman exercises every single day.
Can you give a brief explanation of the justification? I googled for the paper, and had difficulty finding the original or citations.
The article is peppered with condescension and dismissal like 'I shouldn’t have had to write this: I’m busy and a little effort on your part would have made it unnecessary.'

Maybe the author is more comfortable role-playing Larry Page with stuff like that.
California building codes are pretty extreme from what I've seen, they go as far as measuring the pull force required to open a door for example. This seems like a place where a little deregulation would go a long way.
I'm sure someone has. If I was interested enough I supposed I could over a sufficiently long length of time? I do love reading Knuth, but I struggle with sticking with single books/topics for long lengths of time so I doubt I could keep it up for all the volumes.
This brings to my mind some Sony Music executive defending their malware-enabling CD DRM - - "Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care?"
I worked at a large natural gas company in the US where the MS sales reps had accurately analysed the IT director to have Imposter Syndrome causing professional insecurity. By taking the IT director out to lunches - away from everyone else - and letting this person know what a smart choice they were making, how wonderful the .NET platform was, etc. they were able to persuade the company via this person to redesign all internal software from scratch using MS's UML design and coding tools. You might be in a similar situation, where the kickbacks are social and emotional rather than financial.
tl;dr if you have physical access to the CAN bus, you can cause enough errors to render it inoperable, by tampering with CAN frames and flipping bits around.

If you have physical access to the CAN bus you can also make it inoperable by shorting the two wires together... not sure the takeaway is supposed to be with this.
Thanks for posting the old paper. It’s a marvelous one that can help me think more clearly about intelligence.
She says she likes to take her time also and enjoy her coffee etc. I think it's fair to say it's a little misleading.

Almost every language has an MVC framework available, if you learn one a lot of the terminology and concepts will be the same in others. For Python, Django is the most popular one. You should start there and learn how to make something without involving JS then once you become comfortable with the backend you can add a frontend JavaScript framework like Angular, React, Vue, etc.
What Does It Really Take to Scale a Tech Team?
I would believe that 28% of people have heard of it, but there's no way that many people know what it is.
Yes, that's true, but this is no different than any hardware wallet that obtains transactions to sign through a client machine. In fact, if you think about it, this must be the case.

However, such an attack would be very difficult to actually carry out because it's not enough for the attacker to send the transaction to the SC4-HSM. The attacker also has to somehow trick you into pushing the button on the HSM. So the probably have to 1) time their attack to exactly coincide with you wanting to sign a transaction, 2) trick your client into thinking the HSM has sent it the proper handshake and 3) hope you don't notice that the value on the HSM display is wrong. It's possible, but really really hard to do without being noticed.
The SFMTA Commuter Shuttle Program is only allowed to recover costs of the program itself, for regulatory reasons.

Locals don't actually want to fix this problem -- ethnic groups are afraid of losing their homes, because historically that's what new housing construction has done.

All of SoMa was built by razing a predominantly black community and replacing it with what is there now. You can go to the SFMOMA and see photos of what it used to look like.

You have to consider that computer science is soemthing we do; it is, in a sense, a way that we talk about a way that we conceptualize our own ability to solve problems. This issue only comes up because people confuse our theories about problem solving with our abilities to solve problems. Or put another way, the halting problem is disappointment about metaproblems, that we can't model the model. Even more deeply, we encounter a world in which we have these things ready-made; we come into the world with the capability to do things, but because of that, our capability comes before our understanding of our capabilities, and the whole thing becomes a jumble.

This opens up onto philosophical traditions that have mostly been obscured behind modern ideas about us being like computers, but you may want to consider something like Merleau-Ponty's The Phenomenology of Perception (or if you're really strong of heart, Husserl's Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology).

because in some cases, it's me that requires the physical presence - not the job. Working physically with the team is amazingly better for my productivity. Unfortunately, I have to take the jobs where they are. Since public transit is so bad, that's brutal commutes.
This seems kind of like responding to a post about a specific bit of Orson Scott Card's writing advice with a blistering salvo about Card's homophobia and Islamophobia: they're real things deserving of criticism/debate, but they don't actually say much about his writing advice. An asshole with good writing advice is still an asshole, but it's also still good writing advice. ESR is in many respects a fruitcake,† but that doesn't, in and of itself, make his observations about the Unix-Haters' Handbook unworthy of bringing up in a discussion about the Unix-Haters' Handbook.

†Whether this crack is unfair to ESR or unfair to fruitcakes is left as an exercise for the reader.

It appears that when local cities have control over housing, they make decisions that are good for them, but bad for the state that needs higher paying jobs that generate tax revenue. Plus low density housing is bad for the environment when compared to high density: http://news.colgate.edu/scene/2014/11/urban-legends.html

Other places would move heaven and earth to have a place like Silicon Valley and it seems like California is shooting itself in the foot with this self inflicted housing shortage.
I don't think I agree with the grandparent, but usually swing voters don't change their political views, but rather political parties adapt their programs (or rather, propaganda) to appeal to them. So I don't think that's a good example.
The general public cares about net neutrality about as much as they care about DNSSEC. I wonder how many people think their internet is already like a cable package - that they paid for a package that includes Google and Facebook and whatnot.
I think their point is that lots of people customize the appearance of their phones by adding custom cases, stickers, and other decorations to them, and they want to give you a blank slate to do that rather than force you to either accommodate their branding into your expression or cover it up.

Would you please not post like this here? Especially on divisive topics. If you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; otherwise please don't comment until you do.

That would only be true if the criticism was "motivated reasoning" and nothing else. Going on to cite and discuss evidence for your claim is a good argument.

You could say the same about "ad hominem" or "straw man". I could just argue against anything by saying those things, even if they aren't true.

Let's look at motivated reasoning in this case. Google has diversity initiatives. What is their motive? Google exists to make money for their shareholders, the greatest beneficiaries being the executives and the board. Google has determined that they can be more successful (and therefore make more money) by being inclusive. Seriously now, how likely do you think it is that a company like Google is willing to give up their technical edge?

Well, sure, but we've also had 99999 generations where things like 'infant mortality rate' is a very real, everyday concern, too. Here in the US, those in the middle-upper classes basically don't have to worry about that.

Think about it this way - it's 5pm. Your late-elementary school kid is always home by 3pm, or else they've texted/called you to let you know where they are. Today they didn't. It's 5pm. Things are probably fine, but you live in a city and sometimes bad things happen. Wouldn't you rather have a way of checking in, just to make yourself feel better?

We have these nice, new technologies that are changing how we live. Networked, pocket computer we keep calling 'phones'; data center clusters you can rent by the minute for your distributed applications; I could go on and on and I'm sure you can, too. Of course we're going to look at ways that we can parent differently, just like we're looking at different approaches to business, medicine, etc.

I think what's really interesting about this isn't a simple, binary yes/no on whether to do it, but the possibilities it opens up. It makes for an interesting discussion, if nothing else.

Or, traveling a 100 miles takes a couple hours even if it isn't public transit, because of things like safety, traffic, and the laws of physics. Also, a click-bait headline (she leaves at 4 am).

I have seen reliable, fast overlay networks accomplished with a relatively small amount of code. As a result, this is where I set the bar. The more voluminous the project, the more quickly I lose interest.
Right. That's addressed later in the article.
I don't understand what your point is. The Bay Area is a desirable place to be and demand isn't going to magically shrink.
"Something something something normal users can't do that something something".

Basically, they're still stuck in this idea that they're ONLY for emulating user-available input (and the dev-tools don't exist).

In reality, there is tremendous interest in more complex programmatic interfaces, but apparently they're unwilling to see that, and are instead only interested in their implementations "user-only" ideological purity.
I'll admit I'm not a city planner. I don't have the answers to the problems. It's just frustrating to see what's happening with these mega-cities and how it's affecting the lives of so many people negatively. Surely the benefit of having these boosted economies doesn't outweigh the negative aspects - or do they?

Bay area has a whole bucket of specific problems - but there are general shared trends that extend to other cities with big tech industries.
Aside from looking really nice, that's a seriously impressive CV. Well done!

“Greek yogurt” is the same thing as “yogurt cheese”—it's yogurt strained to remove/reduce whey. Well, except that US rules allow thickeners to be used instead of straining, so many US versions are thickened, rather than strained.
