We were basically warned this would happen too, that Net Neutrality opponents just keep beating the drum until the general population got tired of resisting.

Taking the 4S as an example because that was my old phone:

Launched October 2011 (w/ iOS 5.0)
Discontinued September 2014
Last OS update August 2016 (iOS 9.3.5)
OS becomes outdated September 2016 (iOS 10 released)

So even if you bought it at the tail end of its availability, you had two years of updates. If you bought it when they were new, you got 5 years of updates.

For reference, the September 2016 release of iOS 10 (which the 4S didn't get) corresponds to the iPhone 7 release. Software for the 4S was maintained through the releases of 5, 5S, 6, and 6S.

Granted it chugged a bit on the newer OSes and developers (especially 3rd party and web developers) started to waste enormous chunks of screen space because they collectively didn't give a shit about anyone who still had a 4" phone, but it's better treatment than you'd have gotten with any Android phone.
> E.g. concrete is right out, as is most metals, since you need a lot of carbon (coal) in the production process.

What you need to make steel is carbon, not coal. You need a lot of energy, currently supplied by coal in most blast furnaces, but electric arc furnaces work too and only need on the order of 2% carbon by weight.

We use coal for both energy and carbonizing the iron because it's a convenient source of carbon here on Earth. On Mars, there is no coal, but the entire atmosphere is composed of 96% carbon dioxide. If plentiful electricity was available from solar panels or nuclear RTGs, this could be split with electrolysis into carbon monoxide and used in metalurgy, or combined with hydrogen (extracted using electrolysis from water in the soil) to form methane or other organics. Or you can simply use plants.

You also have lots of aluminum oxide in the soils (approximately 10%), which is another useful metal that can be extracted using carbon from the atmosphere.
There is no controversy. The genocide happened. I've met the survivors. They were brought to my school and I saw the tattoos with numbers on them. I saw the sadness in their eyes. The Holocaust denial statements you've spewed would be illegal and banned in Germany, too.
I agree with your general point. It's difficult/impossible to get accurate numbers. I would contend that we have a general idea. Management nearly always imposes more control when it's nervous the costs are approaching the rewards. The flip side is Silicon Valley VC investing. Tonnes of money is thrown and very little control is exercised by investors, at least at first, because the rewards devour almost all costs. The programming equivalent might be Big-O notation. We don't know _precisely_ the costs of an algorithm, but we can do general comparisons.

DeMarco also seems to agree.

The book’s most quoted line is its first sentence:
"You can’t control what you can’t measure." This line
contains a real truth, but I’ve become increasingly
uncomfortable with my use of it. Implicit in the quote
(and indeed in the book’s title) is that control is an
important aspect, maybe the most important, of any
software project. But it isn’t. Many projects have
proceeded without much control but managed to produce
wonderful products such as GoogleEarth or Wikipedia.
That only counts for logical arguments. There is an assumption that if a reason is given for firing someone, anyone should be fired under the same circumstances on basis of fair treatment.

This isn't an issue of tech companies forcing anyone out. Bay area municipalities and NIMBY property owners have created a hostile regulatory environment for property developers, leading to a lack of new housing coming onto the market and driving rents upward.
Hot reloading also adds a ton of hidden complexity to your projects, since you essentially have to be very careful about every module boundary (as my understanding is that every time code goes from one external module to another non-OTP module it uses the new version of that new module, and thus any non-backwards compatible signature change will crash the process). You can't really casually support hot reloading and need to fully commit to it, unless you don't care if things fail when you hot reload at which point you might as well just do a full reload and keep confidence in the system.
So why do we keep commuting for jobs that don't really require our physical presence?

It was a long hard battle for me to be able to work from home, and yes, I sometimes do miss out on face-to-face interaction, but going to the office 2 instead of 5 days a week is still a huge win - I'm not in a car out there, making traffic worse for you. You're welcome.

Can we please solve the supposed "interaction" problem with some nice digital pens and white-boards and web cams and just .... work from anywhere?
For most metals, some platinum (much, much less than coal) and electricity (much, much more than when using coal) are enough. It is steel that is the problem, but you can also make it (way more expensively) using atmospheric CO2.
Thanks for being the only person in this thread that understands the real root problem. Proprietary drivers are the only reason phones don't get software updates forever from the open-source community the way the P4 you've forgotten in a closet someplace does.
Open Access: Point-Of-Care Diagnostics in Low Resource Settings (2015)
A bit of anecdata - but all of our animals (few dogs, couple cats) have shed significantly less and had a much healthier looking coat once we switched them to better foods.

The reduction in shedding going from kibble that's primarily rice and corn to something that's actually nutritionally appropriate ingredients for a dog/cat was astounding (but should have been unsurprising).

My understanding is that pet allergies are generally allergies to the shed hair and skin, so a healthier diet may have reduced that significantly.

So - what if the hosting company decides to hand over the data because the higherups are very patriotic and find it distasteful that anyone would disrupt the presidential inauguration? There is no law that prevents it, same as that there's no law against refusing to host neonazi websites.

Why did we cheer when the skinheads lost their domain and webhost, and why do we support the other hosting company in keeping their data away from the government? In both cases it's private companies making their own laws, and that is really worrying. When it comes to it, money will support only itself, and there won't be public oversight.

You can copy in Rust too. You just call .clone(), or if you want your type to always be copied, have it implement the Copy trait. In that case, it does exactly what you want.

But Rust is more explicit about copying in general, to make it harder for the performance cost to be hidden.

There is no reason to use LFE. It doesn't add anything that Erlang does not have (besides macros) and it is very poor on the documentation side.

Even if you don't like Elixir, it brings more to the table than just syntax and macros, such as tooling, Unicode support, protocols, better error messages, better debugging, tasks, etc.

If Elixir is not your cup of tea, definitely Erlang all the way.
People hate on X quite a lot. I'm not even too fond of it personally. But it runs on /everything/ it's lighter than most display frameworks and it's very easy to program for.

And to your point, there isn't a single display framework as old as it is that's still used.

...because these companies can just go somewhere else that won't pressure them, so when cities are faced with a billion dollar tech campus or none at all they often feel like they have to bend. Cities often even cut taxes to see big companies come into town. Capitalism will always win against public infrastructure.

True, but new housing wouldn't be needed if there wasn't such a high influx of people moving into the Bay area. Sure tech isn't the only player in the game, but they're surely one of the biggest. If less people were moving there for high paying jobs - rent wouldn't rise as quickly or as drastically.

Those people can and do at least go to parks.

A better analogy is that it would be like living in an underground bunker on Death Valley, with periodic excursions out to the desert, while wearing a spacesuit.

Most likely the contract with Elsevier prohibits this. In the fine print, "unlimited access" is probably defined as something like "what we, the publisher, consider normal/reasonable reading speeds by a human using our site/server." At my academic library, for example, it's common, and apparently contractually sanctioned, for a publisher to temporarily IP-block a computer that they deem to be engaging in "excessive" or software-mediated downloading.

Would that be the purpose of property tax and state corporate taxes? Genuine question.

I have always imagined the benefit to a city of having big businesses move in was to bring in more tax through boosted economic activity that would allow them to improve the city overall. Perhaps I played too much Sim City.
No, Ubuntu's phone efforts refused to take a stance of promising open-source drivers (because they didn't care about solving this problem for their users, they just wanted to be a phone OEM). Whether the kernel has the Android patches or not isn't the important factor; it's whether the device drivers (kernel and userspace) can be maintained by the community.

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? Lower income housing?

Don't you think people are already trying to do this? There is resistance from many sides, which is, you know, the story here in general.
This articles touches on an interesting subject, whether female-targeted advertising and gender-based 'cultural' events are really the best way to recruit more women - or the lack of which is why the divide exists in the first place.

There's always this implied assumption, such as in the Planet Money podcast she referenced, that the cause of the problem is obvious and known. But if it was that simple we would have likely made a lot more progress with the issue by now.

You might have a hard time avoiding both.
I think in theory this is how it should work - but I think part of the issue is the multi-city sprawl that's happening. When an area of influence grows that big, who is held responsible? I'm sure no one is volunteering to pick up the slack and shoulder the burden of all the improvements.

I've had several roommates with Ceiliac, and it can be a challenge, but it's not insurmountable. The biggest problem at first was, quite frankly, laziness on the part of other roommates in not cleaning up after themselves and leaving out a knife or cutting board that had been used to cut bread. It took a couple of talks and clear warning that no, this is not a joke, you will kill her if you continue to do this. We alleviated some of it by just chipping in to buy her a separate, labeled cutting board just for her.

Hardship at restaurants is a common thing, when people are inflexible. I felt bad for her sometimes because her boyfriend would insist on going somewhere he wanted to go, even if she wasn't able to eat anything there beyond a salad. There will probably be more of an emphasis on cooking at home, but, even then, friends and roommates can be part of it if they're just willing to make a few simple tweaks. We even managed to make fried chicken that she could eat just by tracking down a gluten-free breading option.

To boot, she's got about ten years or so before she's out on her own and this becomes her sole responsibility. My experiences are about five years old at this point, and we've already come a long way since then. In 2011, the most widespread "gluten free" option was Chipotle. Now, I see a gluten free menu at pretty much every sit-down restaurant I've gone to.

Bay Area housing supply has been growing less than demand for the last 30 years. New housing is needed, regardless of who is employing whom.

We started giving our kids money to spend on a comic or similar at the corner shop as soon as they were old enough to handle it. From school age they had regular pocket money that they could save or spend. This was mostly not tied to chores, which were expected anyway, though we did give them opportunity to earn extra for doing extra chores when they were saving for something significant. From early teens we gave them a monthly allowance intended to cover clothes as well as spending money.
I would say that they've turned out very good with everyday money and also very helpful about the house. They are all grown up now.

As a manager, what's the best way to respond when your VP or CEO asks you why you don't code a lot? I've been pressured to both code and manage. It takes two totally different mindsets to do that. It is really hard, and it usually means I end up not doing a good job at either.
I'd argue that at this point, the protests are arguably irrelevant. Ajit Pai has made his position clear, he has no intention of changing it. With a Republican Presidency, the FCC has a Republican majority, and votes on party lines. The only alternate path to this issue is Congress, which is also Republican. No Congressmen cares strongly enough about net neutrality (it's not an issue that's going to lose them reelection) to risk breaking the party line over.

In short, submitting comments to the FCC or protesting is nearly completely irrelevant because Ajit Pai is gonna be Ajit Pai. I think there's a less than 1% chance that the Open Internet Order is not revoked.

"I shudder to consider eating a full bun or something but I haven't tried in years."

I have it nowhere near as bad as you (which is why it went undiagnosed until I was 30... although it's still pretty bad). But for about 5 years after I found out I would have recurring dreams where I would be eating a hamburger and realize after swallowing "Oh, crap, that's a normal bun!" I suppose in some sense that might qualify as a nightmare the first couple of times, because it would fully wake me up.
I've been working, in various forms, on Mozilla for 17 years now. I've joined the project as a volunteer back in 2000, and ended up working full time since 2010.
I worked in multiple roles during that time, mostly as an engineer, but spent some time working on contributor relationships, contributor tech and some market analysis even.
I've worked remotely for most of that time from Europe, but am working from San Francisco for almost 4 years now.

My personal experience has been very positive. I'm working full time on projects that impact the shape of the Web, I have good work-life balance and incredible number of highly challenging problems to solve.

I've been with Mozilla since they were a 40 person startup, through the crazy days of releasing Firefox 1.0, sudden growth during Firefox OS days (I spent 2 years working on it!), and now I work on Firefox 57 and beyond. It's been a great, if bumpy, ride and I can't stop enjoying it :)

I've seen bad culture fits, I've seen clusters of bad management and projects that "felt weird". People who got into Mozilla through those usually ended up leaving, but I'd say it's a vast minority of cases.

And wrt. "sinkin ship" - It depends on us. Working for a non-profit has some downsides. We need to stay open, inclusive, some things happen slower, we get much more "negative feedback" from people who feel more entitled to judge our work etc. But it also comes with some huge benefits. I never optimized anything at Mozilla for profit, our leadership sees money as a tool, and we can focus on what we solve with the tool. Some of my long-standing projects are way too "altruistic" to ever exist at Google, Apple or Facebook, because they don't impact the revenue stream. We can and use the Mozilla Manifesto to reason about decisions all the time, and thanks to all of that - the Web community really supports us.
So, if we can get amazing products, we may not have the marketing budget of big companies, but we have the support of the global community. And releasing amazing products is something that depends on us, not any external factor.
Right now we're pushing for Firefox 57 and I do believe we're on the right track to succeed (yes, I disagree with Andreas :)).

My take is that if you have the "NGO" muscle in you, enjoy spending a lot of time on big problems, like the open-source community model of work (which we drift towards with most projects, although there are pockets that are slow to open up) and are not money-driven (not because they pay bad, just because you can get better money as a hired gun at some corpo ;)), Mozilla is worth giving a try :)
If you're a US citizen it doesn't matter, they won't bar you from entering just because you choose to cross with a factory-reset phone.
