There's an interesting fat protocols article on block chain technology by usv. Unlike thin protocols like tcp/up where the value is captured by edge nodes, a fat protocol captures the bulk of the value and the edges are forced into commodity pricing.

I think it would be like everyone living in and contributing to the US as an idea. The block chain of the "US" has a good social security net, good public non-profit infrastructure, ample opportunity etc... Or theoretically would/should anyway. In reality it's too prone to corruption and manipulation.

If smart contracts get stable and consistent enough (and build up a correspondingly large body of contract law) we end up being able to create entities of faith, things to believe in and rely on but are also fragile in that they need faith to persist as well. "gods" if you will.

Similar thing happened in Australia recently. Every member of parliament and senators have their phone bills published to the government website as part of public disclosure.

What happened though is instead of deleting their phone numbers, the contractor who was in charge of this simply changed the font colour of their phone number to white (same as the background).

So if you looked at the PDF, it looked normal. If you highlighted the text - the phone number instantly showed up. Also viewing google "text" cache version showed the number too. As a result - hundreds of their personal phone numbers were available to anyone and everyone.

Almost identical in dimensions and appearance to an iPhone 5, yet has expandable storage and a 50% more capacity removable battery. If some small Chinese company can make such a phone, so could Apple, but they deliberately chose not to.
It does increase size a little, as you need to account for the extra thickness used to make the compartment wall and the inside wall of the battery pack. Additional constraints are that these compartments generally have to be straight-walled; you can't realisitically 'build through and around' a modular compartment like you can with an inbuilt component.

...our best recruiter was forced out because she spent too much time hanging out with engineers outside after-hours...

What might be the rationale for that? At every company I've worked at, the best results came when people worked across divisions between boundaries. I once asked a VC what grassroots indicators they looked at inside of companies, and they said a collaborative environment without a lot of silos. I'd never heard of companies actively punishing this kind of thing, but I totally believe you that it happens. Why would they do that?

In the first year after graduation, I get emails from (different) google recruiters pretty much every month. One thing I see multiple times is they include a "best work place ranking" link and google is ranked #1. One time, after I said I'm not interested, the recruiter replied something like "why don't you give this a try? Best case scenario you work at the best company in the world. Worst case scenario you stuck at your current position." I remember she did use the word "stuck" and that just triggers me.

I don't think it's FUD. I didn't do extensive research, but I quickly googled phones with replaceable batteries and found these two from LG:

LG V20 - 5.7” display, 3200mAh battery, 174g
LG V10 - 5.7” display, 3000mAh battery, 192g

And here's a phone from the same manufacturer with a soldered in battery:

LG V30 - 6” display, 3300mAh battery, 159g

That's a bigger display, a bigger battery and an overall lighter weight.

It's easy for me to believe that manufacturers are soldering in batteries to deliver thinner, lighter phones since that's what they claim, and that's what they seem to deliver. But I'm happy to look at your numbers.

> "far from transit"

The proposed development is literally next door to a freeway (101), a Caltrain stop - Bayshore Caltrain - and a Muni stop. SF has proposed extending Muni into the new development for free.

"The public" largely wants new housing in the Baylands, if the city meetings were any guide, where a large majority of the speakers wanted to approve the housing proposal. You may have seen the signed letter from 40 different tech CEO's asking for housing on the Baylands, as well. The people who oppose it are Brisbane homeowners, because they have no incentive to add new housing.

> so clearly undesirable that it has escaped even proposals for development since the Gold Rush.

The choices are to build an office park and new apartments, or an office park; something is going to get built there. As part of the plan, the developer is proposing to spend $200 million cleaning industrial waste in the area. The only reason that pencils out is because of the new development.

My encryption subkey was explicitly _not_ generated inside the Yubikey. That was an intentional choice; I chose to sacrifice some security by generating the key in software and transferring it to the Yubikey, in exchange for the convenience of having the ability to do so again in the future. I made that choice because the encryption subkey is the one kind of subkey where I do not have full control over its use.

What I mean is (for people still getting into this PGP stuff), with the signing and authentication subkeys, I'm the one who is performing those actions (ignoring things like compromised keys). For encryption, the sender is the one who chooses which of the encryption subkeys to use, and there is no way for me to be sure that their copy of my public key is up-to-date.

(Totally off-the-rails side note: For anyone who works with Kerberos, and aliases/CNAMEs, you also have to deal with this problem, because it's the client who chooses exactly which service principal to request a ticket for.)

I know that my current encryption subkey isn't going to last forever, but I wanted to be able to use it on multiple "cards" (or in this case, a Yubikey).
what's your evidence?
I was actually referring to solving problems yourself in pseudocode on paper.

In any case, I'm happy with a computer science course that doesn't involve actual computer implementations, and it's not just because it drives home the point that they are different things, but also because you don't have to get bogged down in the practicalities of wrestling with a particular language or a particular toolchain.
apparently if you are b2b or b2c stream they haven't sent out that 'batch' yet - rejections or invites.
I spoke with someone earlier who got an invite and they did not see a change on their application. We have not received an invite or a rejection.
Although there is a lot of merit in implementing an algorithm and not just writing pseudo code, doing it on paper has some advantages.

- Its a lot quicker to sketch an algorithm on paper ( you can ignore some details which are either trivial, or irrelevant to the problem )

- At a certain level you are expected to be able to convert pseudo code into actual code

- The most important part of an algorithm is knowing about it and what problems it solves (and variations). As well as the "trick" that makes it solve something particularly well - dynamic programming for solving sub problems etc... Even if I implement an algorithm or just write the pseudo code, I will forget the details fairly quickly, but the takeaway is that I know that for problems of type X I can use algorithms of type Y, (and sometimes i'll remember I can use Y because of fact C related to that particular problem or algorithm)

I would strongly suggest you take a look at "The Lazy DM" by Sky Flourish [0]. He has other books that are pretty good also. This method of running games will get you going immediately and takes almost no preparation. You will stumble a couple of times when you first try it, because it feels unnatural versus drawing everything out ahead of time. But once you get used to it, you'll never go back, and you'll be able to run any number of games with almost no preparation. That isn't to say you shouldn't prepare some things ahead of time: Great adventures and fantastic dungeons are always best created when you have the spark. But this method of running games will make you much, much more efficient with your (precious) time. I have a personal library of drop-in dungeons and adventures that I've created which I wrap with this method of running games. And if I didn't have this method, I don't think I would be able to run, since I just don't have the time as an adult with a regular job. Good luck!

> At least that's what I hear over here in Europe, maybe motivations are different in the US.

The real reason corn-based ethanol is politically supported in the US is because of an artifact of the US federal political process. Iowa is the first state to hold caucuses [1], to a first approximation explanation. This exerts an effect similar to first mover advantage: their outcomes have a disproportionate effect upon other states' primaries [2] (linked article gives a better, more nuanced explanation than a glib "they're first"). Not coincidentally for this topic, Iowa grows a lot of corn [3], the most of any state in the US, and more than all of Mexico combined.

The two major parties are terrified of pissing off Iowa voters who personally depend upon the corn economy in Iowa. So corn-based ethanol stays encrusted into the US federal political landscape, until an Alexander-like politician cuts it in half, Gordian Knot-mythos-like [4]. Either that, or until Iowa's shortsighted monocropping causes them to irretrievably lose their topsoil, and they can't grow anything at scale, and removing the subsidies becomes moot; at the macro scale, they're eroding their topsoil with no end in sight. I SWAG a few more decades before we reach an inflection point, where input costs to prop up poor topsoil corn growing start to negate the subsidies' artificial boost. That's going to really suck for our food supply system, if it comes down to that.

There's a promoted comment on the original post that addresses the question of interference between lidars from multiple cars on the same street (short version: coded pulses so each unit can recognise its own reflections). But your comment makes me wonder about another issue: what about eye safety in a street crowded with autonomous cars? Each car's lidar may be eye safe on its own, but how safe is a busy street that's being continually scanned by dozens of cars at once?

I have a friend who works at a battery/electronics chain, and replacing phone batteries (and screens) has become a substantial part of their business. I couldn't say what percentage of the population knows it's possible but, when your phone breaks or the battery dies, I'd bet a fair number of people google repair options, and from there going to third parties seems fairly common.

An example: If I’m Apple and I’m supply constrained on fancy new FaceID sensors I’m not going to want to loose an iPhoneX sale because I have to make a sensor available to a repair depot (internal or external). And the customer that was supposed to get that sensor is not going to like waiting even longer for their phone.
When has google misled about how it makes its money? It's been pretty upfront about the tradeoffs and how googlestuff is paid for.

This kind of argument has been going on for well over a decade at this point - to suggest that google isn't honest and open about its business model at this point is simply choosing to be willfully ignorant.

I've given you plenty of well-known examples of Apple behaving badly. This isn't to say "Apple is the Devil", but that they're not this shining knight that some people paint them as. They behave dishonestly when it suits them as well.

Here's another example: tax evasion. Apple is the doyen of tax evasion. Is it legal? Yes, but stretched to the limit. Is it honest? Nope; it requires fiscal shennanigans, and they're not afraid to throw their weight around to keep things cosy for themselves. If they truly were honest, they'd pay their taxes, like the general public expects of good citizens.
