I think local social networks are the path forward here. Things similar to mastodon - albeit with some specific additions - because they are already local oriented, just prevent children from having any "federated" interactions (e.g. outside the local instance). In addition ways for parents to observe the follow/messaging behavior of their children, and how their messages are federated (e.g. keeping the data private to the local instance unless otherwise approved). This also works well because it means only the local community will be on the app, and children can only interact with locals. And they could theoretically still be allowed to retweet or discuss federated content in a sort of read-only manner; and the content they are allowed to reach could be on a white list decided upon by the intersection of the community via the school (e.g. a conservative list of content the school will choose for educational resources) and parents (e.g. a more liberal list parents will vet for their children).
I can be mistaking myself but I read more this article like a technical blog post than a paper. It seems to me it is more akin of the usual technical blog posts written by big tech companies than the writing of a paper formally submitted to an academic journal.

It's been said elsewhere in this thread, but there is a distinct difference between the knowledge you accumulate in years of engineering and the constant cycle of learning the new framework.

Anyone can learn a new framework. Making good architectural and design decisions generally takes experience.
The "real job" point is that people willingly are paid very little because of the arrangement. Undergrads are typically not full-time employees of the university, so it doesn't make sense for them to get the waiver. But, if an undergrad had a full scholarship from a university, I would also not want that taxed as income.

It's this arrangement that enables more people to become grad students, not less. As the NYT opinion piece points out, these new rules will make it that only people who are independently wealthy, or can depend on support from wealthier family members, will be able to afford going to grad school.
This is not a bad advice overall, but I think that Citus has still a huge market to conquer before they go down this path.

Single PG node can handle easily 80k/s writes and reads and store up to 3TB of data safely. Wast majority of companies will never have to think about cluster as this is more than sufficient for most.

No matter if it's Citus or any other DB, horizontal scaling comes at cost and most companies should pay it. Citus helps to the ones that really have issues with performance beyond those levels (like us) and I think the Citus team is smartly targeting those kind of customers, at least for the time being.

> We could create a parser framework that allowed a client to get some sort of generic AST and reference graph - which would enable all the use-cases of language servers but would also allow more use-cases in the future (e.g. IntelliJ-style inspections or language-aware diffs).

I think a lot of infrastructure would be simplified if each language (or interpreter/compiler) would provide a flag or tool to convert raw syntax into some sort of s-expression (or JSON or XML if you prefer). This wouldn't be a "full AST", but just the "skeleton", enough for us to do tree traversals/transformations instead of having to lex, parse, etc.

Ugh. I have a pretty decent job, and about 20 years of experience, so I have no need to job hunt. But if/when I do, I fully intend to adopt the policy that I will get up and walk out of interviews that do whiteboard coding puzzle tests. Having been trained to conduct such interviews at Google, I have no desire to participate in them. I can see their use for large companies like Google or Amazon that get thousands of resumes a day and can afford the false negatives if it means fewer false positives. But I can't see their utility at all for small companies hungry for good talent.

I don't know how much of it is culture exactly -- I find at Toronto's Bloor-Yonge station that people often do this -- they line up in two columns by the doors to let folks off before entering. I won't say it's done perfectly, but regular commuters seem to know it, here. It makes sense from a self-interest perspective: the faster you clear a path and allow folks off, the faster you can get on before the doors start closing. All bets are off at most other stations in Toronto though, they're often not busy enough for it to become an expected behaviour.
No, if the buyer and seller do not reside in the same state (an by reside, for the seller, it includes having a business "nexus") then it is interstate commerce, and states can't require sellers to collect sales tax. (They usually instead impose use tax on the buyer).
This is a very strong claim, and based on what I've read I do not believe it is accurate to say nuclear winter research was so off the mark as to be "inaccurate". Please see my comments further up the thread. Please cite the arguments you are basing this claim on.

My understanding is that the major source of confusion was the headline of a 1990 NYT article that made it look like nuclear winter was wrong, but the actual contents were much more moderate.

We should incentivize open-source development using bounties and Ethereum tokens
Fair points, but I would argue that both of those possibilities hinge on social/psychological issues. Companies typically hire from prestigious schools because there's an implicit faith in pedigree and the pre-selection criteria of admissions panels at traditional institutions. You would need to shift that view before anyone would consider an online degree of any kind the "best" qualifier for employees. Same with remote work - you need to shift the perception that butts-in-seats and long hours in an office are favorable things before the technology even has a chance of making a solid impact.
I agree. There are so many people here promoting autodrive cars as a safer alternative to the dangers of driving. But riding a bike to work every day looks more dangerous than skydiving. I haven't met any cyclist who, after a few years commuting to work, hasn't had some sort of serious accident or injury. And not just with cars. A good friend of mine needed stitches after hitting a pedestrian.
that's google fitness built into google maps
> Cars are too cheap because we subsidize them too much, in terms of roads, parking lots and so on.

I find this argument increasingly tired. Car sales themselves are not directly subsidized. Yeah taxes build roads, but that's largely covered by fuel taxes. And roads are used by trucks and buses too. We could tax parking more than we do, but just because we could tax something and aren't doesn't mean that we're subsidizing it. I appreciate there are some exceptions where cash-strapped cities are leaving money on the table, but that's rare.

Better mass transit is certainly a good idea, but the excuse every time it doesn't work out is "cars are cheating." It looks more like a lot of transit systems are being designed, built and operated incompetently.

It's actually quite stupid. If they did not ask Southwest for permission, they are asking to be sued, especially when you charge people money.
Maybe, though in STEM fields, anyways, the Department pays for the first year of tuition (essentially the University paying itself), and than an advisor pays out of his grant money (which is usually from the Fed. gov't, and so essentially the Feds paying themselves).

So in a perfect world, Universities would just say grad-student tuition is 0$ for the first year, since they don't net any $ from it anyways, and than the Federal gov't would just up grants by whatever is needed to cover the extra tax bill, which would be less efficient but ultimately a wash as far as the money is concerned.

In reality, I think this will happen to some extent, but not enough to totally reverse the change, and there will be a sizable drop in grad-students pop. in the US. Given extra grant money, Profs are likely to use some of it to cover their grad-students tax bills, but at the same time, those students will now be more expensive relative to fancy microscopes or whatever, and so fewer grad-students will be hired.

Again, the NYT article is fallacious. Such a student could take out loans, just like undergraduate students.

It's nonsensical. There's no reason for admission and payment to be coupled.

Also, the amount being paid is irrelevant. A university could pay graduate students $33k/yr + whatever it costs to attend their institution. The only reason they don't do this is because they'd be taxed. This arrangement is beneficial to the university. Not to mention the student would be taxed more heavily as well.
Someone needs to go wake up Teddy Roosevelt. As rude as it would be to wake him up, we need someone to recognise that the amount of consolidation the country is reaching is incredibly dangerous. This teetering near Deus Ex level amounts of consolidation. Yes, the current aims at Google and Facebook are nice to see. But, the deregulation of media companies is allowing anti-consumer practices. Even the video game industry is starting to receive backlash for its "non-gambling" practices and the lootbox.

Pardon for the rant, that kind of seems everywhere. But, allowing something like this to form is dangerous, especially with how strong lobbying is now. With facebook actively suppressing certain ideologies, the soon to be larger media companies will now have no issue writing off conflicting ideas as well.
> * Performance improvements. Postgres 10 improves analytical query performance by 30-40%, and PG 11 will add another 3x. For Citus customers, they will get these performance benefits at scale.

When is that to be expected or even usable in beta?
Because that would involve bringing along a reactive metal, bringing one H2 molecule with you is less mass than any of the metal atoms that would react with H2SO4 to give you the same amount of hydrogen. But perhaps more difficult to handle as a gas.

You could bring along MgH2, then once you hit the atmosphere, you can thermally decompose it into Mg and H2, then react the Mg with sulfuric acid to get MgSO4 and another H2.
> They love that we are bringing them new business

If that's true that's great but it's the opposite experience of what I've experienced with large media companies. They pretty jealously guard their inventory and hate the idea of transparent pricing. That's great if you haven't experienced it yet, but I suspect you will at some point. Best of luck to you regardless. I'm rooting for you.
Also NYC has a lot of people coming out from all over the world to visit or to immigrate - it takes a bit to learn the train culture.
The political mood on media regulation has shifted, at least from where I sit, in the the past weeks. Twitter blew its hearing. Facebook and Google failed to salve the wound by sending deputies.

The belief I'm sensing is that the only way to check these companies is through competition from traditional media, including ISPs. If Google and Facebook and Twitter are running roughshod with our data, this thinking goes, maybe the solution is letting others challenge their data monopoly.

You and I see the problem with this. It's harder to evade Comcast than Google or Facebook. But every day, that becomes less true. In any case, this is the first step in Silicon Valley's price for what is broadly seen as its arrogance.

This is basically true, but a little overstated.

In particular, it's helpful to make a distinction between brute-forcing a cipher, and brute-forcing a particular file. If I GPG-encrypt my plaintext with a weak RSA key, or a weak passphrase with conventional encryption, that particular ciphertext may be revealed through a brute force attack; the attack wasn't on the cipher, it was on my key.

Also, the fact that it's impossible/infeasible to exhaustively search the keyspace doesn't mean that the key won't be found - 50% of the time it'll be found in the first half of the keyspace that's searched (assuming a linear search), 1% of the time it'll be found in the first 1% of the keyspace that's searched, and so forth. Success via brute force isn't at all likely, but it's not impossible, even though an exhaustive search is practically impossible.

Abolition of copyright and banning proprietary software seem like two very different things. The comment I replied to just mentioned elimination of copyright.

This isn't a research paper. Apple never claimed it to be one. It's not in some scientific journal. It's not peer reviewed. It doesn't contain any level of detail. It lacks any of the sort of norms you would expect from a paper. It's even hosted on Apple.com in a blog style format.

So why are you holding it to a research paper standard ?
As you age, you become less motivated by trends and fads. The more seasons of fashion nouvelle you've seen, the more you recognize the Next Big Thing as being mere Pied Piper ephemera.

Soon enough, the major cultural inflection points of leaving elementary, HS, and college will fall behind you. Your job and family take center stage, and your free time shrinks along with the positive reinforcement you get from lightweight social immersion. Then the bloom is off the rose of those latest startups as your net-social focus shifts into more of a spectator mode, posting family photos on Facebook for those now distant friends of yore while caring for your kids, and then caring for your parents. Before you know it, 30 years have passed since you were tuned in and turned on by your last net pet rock.

> You have groups vying for power, with one group systemically oppressing another, and the morality of the situation adjudicated at that granulatiry

You've just described thousands of years of history prior to Marx and hundreds of years of history after Marx across every single axis of the political spectrum.

This is more a description of "effective political messaging" than a description of "Marxism".

Has there ever been a great politician -- good or evil -- who didn't believe they had the weight of morality on their side? Who didn't tap into feelings of oppression, real or perceived?

Even Hitler cast his politics in terms of an oppressed people with a moral right to rise up. And if Mein Kampf is Marxist then you've got one hell of a definition of Marxism.

> The memes (in the academic Richard Dawkins sense) which stick around are often the ones which have the strength of truth behind them.

Well, anything popular taps into some truth, usually about the audience with whom the popular thing resonates.

But tapping into some truth and actually being true are two very different things.

Interpreted any other way, your claim is silly. Mutually exclusive ideas achieve this sort of memetic status (with different subpopulations) all the time.
I love whoever's responsible for this.
Google in the past had Adwords for magazine and radio ads built into the product. It wasn't a bad idea, it failed because the timing was completely wrong. In those days, online advertising was super cheap and print/radio was expensive. We performance advertising guys were making $50 in profit on a $10 online ad buy. Print was so worthless at the time there was the saying: What is the difference between buying print ads and setting money on fire? Burning the money provides some heat.

Now that ad prices have more sanity and relative value across mediums, now may be the time to do this.

I see this as an idea that will happen, it is just a matter of when.

I'd start buy building a big data model to value billboard space. Estimate the eyeballs using traffic data, size, visual competition, etc. Sell the analysis, broker space, and then in 5-10 years you could build the Adwords model and eventually own the whole damn industry. You could also sell the company to an Ad Agency at any point.

Can't you continue that line of thinking to include, "I have no problem with black people but slavery is my family's means of economic security, I'm not being racist, just selfish"?

Just because the people in these examples claim they aren't motivated by racism doesn't mean they aren't (at least partly) motivated by racism, maybe even unconsciously.

If I care about the suffering of my own race, but not those people over there because they're a different race - that's discrimination. That's my point about intent, the mother may feel she is just "indifferent" but the impact is certainly racist.

Again, property tax is implemented by the assessment. Your example is a failure in assessing. It has nothing to do with LVT.

Also, your desert example doesn't make sense. If the land is usable it will be taxed. If it is not usable it wouldn't be taxed heavily under the current scheme, nor would it be with LVT.

I think you're underestimating how much people are already taxed for their property.

> A university could pay graduate students $33k/yr + whatever it costs to attend their institution. The only reason they don't do this is because they'd be taxed.

The reason they don't do it is because for a large population of the grad students, it doesn't cost the university that much for that student to be at their school.

Loans are an extra burden, and grad school is an unbounded process. I spent 7.5 years in grad school. In practice, far, far fewer people will do it, and it will tend to be people who are already much better off financially. This will hinder class and economic upward mobility.
Exactly. This has absolutely nothing to do with internet companies.
