But why incentivize the weakening of secure systems? I honestly don't think that black hat hackers would find much utility in cracking an app like Signal (except maybe for street cred). Relatively few of it's users would be "soft targets" in terms of susceptibility to phishing, social engineering, weak passwords, lack of 2FA, etc.

Governments on the other hand would pay lots of money to increase their mass surveillance capabilities. Signal users are disproportionately young, sophisticated, and politically engaged.

Given that Signal's budget is raised from donations and grants, and is much more fixed than an open market to undermine it, how would such a market incentivize them to increase funding on security? It's already their top priority.
Make 110k, take home around 4800 month after taxes and maxed out 401k.

Rent $1600 in SF (lucky here). But I still have over $2k month after all expenses. As a single person, I consider myself fortunate.

People will complain about living expenses but they need to calculate the income - expenses plus what the area you want to live in. City living isn't always a viable option for people. Whereas some people love it.

I don't think I can find any urban city that I can live in and find myself in a situation where I can bank more than $2k a month after expenses and maxed out 401k.

SoCal was an option for me. However I hate the suburbs, hate having a car and the salaries for new grads were 50-80k where most rents were still at least $1300.

For me, I'd given up on trying to browse the web on my smartphone until Firefox Focus came along. I realize Firefox for Android now allows extensions, but I still used it as a typical browser. I signed into my accounts, I had expectations for a personalized experience, etc. With Focus, it's just a quick visit to a site and then it disappears. I can find the information I want, quickly, yet again.
I've lived in downtown SF for 5 years and as I type this visiting Nashville TN, as I am thinking about moving to Nashville.

The biggest expenses to consider in SF besides the obvious housing costs:

- Food + drink + groceries are way, way, way more expensive. There is no Walmart in the city. Get used to corner stores that charge a hefty premium. I miss Walmart and strip shopping malls.

- Income taxes. Tennessee for example has 0% income state tax, excluding dividends. The 0% state income tax in Tennessee also includes capital gains (stocks, company selling) which is huge.

- Health insurance. San Francisco according to my quick research using Blue Shield retail prices are some of the most expensive in the entire United States. I pay $500 a month for a middle of the road plan (single). That's a car payment for a nice BMW or Mercedes. Absolutely absurd.

You can also emit the type as a compile error by assigning it to a list or something. A trick I often used when studying C++ back when it was cool.
Are you sure you didn't dig to find those examples? There are many buildings on SC with the regular Apple sign right on the street. To say nothing of the dozens of signs on Bubb, De Anza, Mariani, Valley Green, Bandley, etc., etc.

No reasonable person could drive around Cupertino for more than 10 minutes without noticing the large number of Apple buildings.
So how does that rent compare to the mean in the area, and what are you renting at that price? Because, as an outsider, that seems remarkably low (the averages for SF that I can find suggest 2-3k for a studio or 1-bedroom).

Also, how does the rest of your budget break down? Math suggests $1200/mo for all other expenses and I'm curious how that's allocated.
The problem is usually not having access to this, just the pdfs.
One question is what happens over the long term to Netflix' Marvel shows. They're still owned by Disney, but are some of the most popular Netflix "originals."

Hold on, please do not say google cloud scales well, yes they do have services that make a ton of claims, but unlike AWS, things don't work as promised which is magnified by the fact that their support is way worse.

Additionally, Big Query is far more expensive than Athena, where you have to pay a huge premium on storage.

The biggest difference is that what amazon provides you in infrastructure, where as google provides you a platform. While app engine is certainly easier to use than elastic bean stalk, you have very little control over what is done in the background once you let google do its thing.

That's an interesting claim. A miner already receives the coinbase and transaction fees for the blocks it completes, and it can't change the contents of blocks it doesn't complete, so it can't steal those blocks' rewards. Those are the only two groups of rewards, so no, the miner can't use 51% hashpower to get any part of the other 49% of block rewards.

"Giving ten percent to normal users" is also a novel concept. I have never seen coinbase awarded to any address but ones having a relationship to the successful miner. Are you under the impression that normal users usually get some part of block rewards? They don't. (I'm not sure what a "normal user" is, either.)

Nor can a miner change the destination of funds in transactions included in the completed block. That would be isomorphic to calculating private ECDSA keys from addresses, which is not possible with Earth technology.

Finally, the miner can't simply change the rules (for example, including both parts of a double-spend in a single block, or substituting a different signature for others' transactions). That would cause a hard fork, and every client on the planet would choose the side that followed the rules.

According to the design and implementation of Bitcoin, your statements cannot be anything but wrong.

On an unrelated matter, why do you put the percent sign in front of numbers? I have never seen that before in any language, forum, or writing style. Not only is it stylistically uncommon, but it's incorrect inasmuch as the % symbol is short for "per hundred." It wouldn't make grammatical sense to say "give per hundred ten to normal users," which means the prefix symbol doesn't make sense, either. Where are you from, if you don't mind my asking?
I found this to be especially interesting "She spent countless hours going up and down 101 and 280, the highways that lead between San Francisco and Mountain View.

They developed an intuition about what might be hard for the cars. “Doing some testing on newer software and having a bit of tenure on the team, I began to think about ways that we could potentially challenge the system,” she tells me."

Unfortunately, you're not going to get an exact answer here, because everybody's lifestyle is slightly different. However, you can guess what's going to be the big changes in your budget. I think there will be 4:

1) Your take-home pay will change. Use a calculator for you exact number, but according to [1], a single person will take home about $6,400 / month.

2) Unless you live in Manhattan, your rent will dramatically increase. Like everywhere, there's a huge range. Want to live in Oakland with a roommate and bike to BART? You could probably find $1,500 / month. Want a new construction 2 bedroom downtown or close to Caltrain on the peninsula? $5,000 / month. Houses can easily run $8,000 / month with mortgage + taxes if you can scrape together the $300k down payment. Look around on Zillow and ballpark it.

3) Eating "nice" food out isn't cheap. There's plenty of good, cheap eats, but if you're thinking date night, it's easy to drop $120 for 2 people then go off and order half a dozen $8 beers. The high end is really bad --
there's a bunch of amazing restaurants that are $75 - $100 for 6-8 courses. If you're moving from a small city, these simply don't exist. This might be a shock if you're used to eating at "the best place in town" for a special occasion.

4) Depending on where you are in life, there's a bunch of family-ish things that can really eat up a budget. Dog walkers are $20 / day. Infant day care is $2,000 / month. Getting around is kind of a pain if you don't exclusively live, work, and play in the city, which can be fixed by giving Uber $25 / ride. And unlike other cities, there isn't anything that's remarkably cheap (e.g. when I lived in VA, groceries were like half the price I expected. It was great.)

Ultimately, though, a lot of people make it work. The networking and career attitudes in tech are unmatched (I moved from Boston at age 30), the weather is great, and it turns out that a bunch of my friends who I thought had disappeared had just moved out here and they all hang out.

If you're just in it for the money, it's a close call. Your best bet is to work out here between age 22 and when you have kids, then move somewhere affordable with the $5mil you made during that time. But that's not exactly why I moved here -- I've learned more in the last 2 years than I thought possible, and I've fundamentally altered the arc of my career. I may leave at some point, but I'm glad I moved out here.

I spend $1150 on rent. $100 on utilities. $300 on food. $150 on transportation. Plus a few hundred for annual expenses of flying home and buying new clothes. Adds up to a little over 20k per year.

> You cannot effectively ban market activity, see war on drugs.

I'm not saying you can ban market activity perfectly, but legalization certainly makes things easier, lowers prices, and increases activity.

> Also such prices are a good indicator of app security

Are they? Surely the price reflects the value of the exploit?

This would to a much greater extent reflect the user base of the app (high variation) than its relative security (lower variation; though the two would have an interactive effect). The larger the user base of the app the better, though more wealthy and insecure (e.g. rich retirees) would have more value to criminals, where as politically engaged young people would have much more value to governments and spies. I would think that the price would be a pretty noisy/poor indicator of the security of the app, relative to the user base.
In the first case, then yes, you are taking care to avoid one of the problems a naive approach has.

In the second case, you'll end up with blobby lines. For an x-major line, the standard algorithm would plot one pixel for every unit in X. With your approach, some x's would get one pixels, and some would get two (at adjacent y's on either side of the ideal y)
is there a specific reason you think that, or is a million just a sufficiently impressive-sounding number?

> One of the very interesting things about ML being such a corporation driven field is that it's incredible how quickly relatively recent research makes its way into products.

I think this is just true for really anything that falls purely within the domain of the computational sciences. For a ground breaking drug to hit the market, it takes 10 years of FDA trials, for high speed trains it requires large teams of construction workers only after years of safety work.

In the world of software as it stands today, deploying a new model for something can be virtually instant in some cases, and even in the worst cases, it isn't taking people years to improve a small attribute of their product.
I think you clearly have not been to a research university library. There is a huge amount of old stuff that is not digitized and has important content that cannot be digitized.

Yea I have been spending a little too much. It's the moving cost and weddings I have been attending that are killing my budget.

Hey community, let me share my experience with AppEngine. I work in a small firm, where we've developed a massive Software Application comprising of 12 medium-sized apps. I went with Phoenix 1.3 w/ the new umbrella architecture.

With AppEngine, the beauty is that you can have many custom named microservices under one AppEngine project and each microservices can have many versions. You can even decide how much percentage of traffic should be split between each of these microservices.

What's awesome is, in addition to the standard runtimes (Ruby, Python, Go, Java, etc.) Google also provides something called custom VMs for AppEngine, meaning you can push docker based setups into your AppEngine service, with basically any stack you want. This alone is a HUGE incentive to move to AppEngine because usually custom stack will require you to maintain the server side of things, but with Docker + AppEngine, zero devops. Their network panel is also very intuitive to add/delete rules to keep your app secured.

I've been using AppEngine for over 4 years now and every time I tried a competitive offering (such as AWS Beanstalk, for example) I've only been disappointed.

AppEngine is great for startups. For example, a lesser known feature within AppEngine is their real-time image processing service API. This allows you to scale/crop/resize images in real time and the service is offered free of charge (except for storage).

Works really well for web applications with basic image manipulation requirements.

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/imag...

The best part is, you call your image with specific parameters that'll do transformations on the fly. For example,
<image url>/image.jpg?s=120
will return a 120px image. Appending -c will give you a cropped version, etc.

I really hope to see AppEngine get more love from startups as it's a brilliant platform, much more performant than it's competitors' offerings. For example, I was previously a huge proponent of Heroku and upon comparing numbers, I realized AppEngine is way more performant (in my use case). I'm so glad we made the switch.

If you're looking/considering to move to AppEngine, let me know here and I'll try my best to answer your questions.
linkregister had a conservative breakdown of a fresh graduate saving $1k/month:

As someone who grew up in New York, people were getting their groceries delivered long before the days of online shopping, where most grocery stores provided a service at checkout where they'd bring all the groceries to your house after you selected everything, and the fees were pretty reasonable too given someone didn't need to go around the store for you.
Just a gut check, here: assuming you have kids at 32, and start working at 22, it'd be a bloody miracle if you made 5 mil gross, let alone after taxes and expenses. That's half a million per year, every year, starting from entry into the industry. Google pays a lot, but it sure as hell doesn't pay that much.
You can satisfy your curiosity trivially by looking for cross-currency Bitcoin volume stats and looking for the JPY volume. This will avoid me having made directly critical remarks of a Tokyo startup; that is, for a few reasons, something I am careful about doing.
Rust's documentation is very well written. The authors have put in great effort to make things clear.

Granted Rust has some paradigms and constructs which are not easy to learn, I found it rather exciting. I think it has future scope.

Wonder whats happening with Redox. I hope Rust adds more libraries, especially network related, since the networked world is increasingly looking like a distributed OS of sort. Browsers are looking like an OS or a shell inside the OS. Browsers are getting more complex with more functionalities added every few months. Not sure I expressed my thoughts correctly, but I guess one can understand what I mean.

Rust should move away from C standard library, if possible.
