You don't actually believe this will happen or can be relied upon do you? There are ways for them to do it but we are at the mercy of whoever is in charge of the executive that particular year. This administration will never step in. Maybe if we get a new administration and never have a Republican in office again and the Democrats completely restructure their priorities and come out in favor of trust busting in contrast to their decades of moving right and doing favors for corporate power this is a feasible assumption.

Also, maybe ISPs will just choose to leave money on the table after they gut NN and do nothing because they really care about having a free and open Internet /s
I see people quoting those amounts for all of valley but South Bay isn't $4000 for a flat, SF is. In MTV, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose 1 Bed starts from 2k, 2 Bed from 2.5k and 3 Bed from 3k. It gets cheaper as you go South. If you want better quality/newer apartments, add $500.
I've never been a revenge porn victim but I think you might oversimplify the problem.

I know, I'm 37 and I'm off the scale, apparently. And here in Florida I'm making about the median for a Junior dev in Silicon Valley. For sake of comparison, my first programming job (in Colorado) paid $55k, back in the mid 2000s.

I'd jump at a remote gig in a heartbeat. Right now I'm stuck in an 80s vintage cubicle in a windowless office in an old, dust/mold/despair smelling office building while the beautiful Florida winter passes by outside.

Quality food is more expensive, day care is very expensive too. It is also understood that you should build up your own retirement fund. Phones and internet access is very expensive compared to most european countries.

And just to clarify, it's always weird to say "in Europe". We're talking about close to 30 countries that have big differences between each other. My XP is mostly with western and northern Europe. I have visited but never lived in eastern Europe for example.

> 1. How do we really get the feel for the benefits of this model? Sure, I can struggle through tutorials on TLA, white papers on Daedalus, and the Eve live demo, but from the little I've seen it's not yet obvious to me how they solve my problems as a day-to-day jobbing programmer. The benefits of Haskell, on the other hand, became clear to me after browsing the Haskell Reddit and noticing that pretty much every post solved a problem I was currently having in my Python codebase.

With respect to TLA+, here's how I'd say it solves problem as a day-to-day jobbing programmer: you know the saying "Weeks of programming can save you hours of planning?" TLA+ is a tool to make planning less tedious and error prone. You can write your plan as a specification, then check if that specification actually meets your required invariants.

If you're expecting to write a couple dozen lines of code, TLA+ is probably not gonna help a lot. If you're expecting to write a couple thousand lines of code, it can save you a ton of pain. But you still have to implement your specification correctly, and that's where things like ADTs can help quite a lot.

C++, despite being a really powerful language, has a really primitive build system. Developers have to wade through a complex soup of Makefiles/CMake/Gyp/ninja etc just to get a project set up. There's conan for package management, but it pales when compared to Cargo or Gradle. Moreover setting up Conan is a full time job in itself, and it's not without weird quirks either. I've not tried Bazel yet, and would love to hear if it's as good as Xooglers say.

C++ on Jupyter looks amazing, and I really hope it makes starting with C++ easier.
The way I think about it is temporal and spatial control, and giving up control over them so that some common entity can optimize and drive down your costs. With Fargate, you're giving up spatial control so you can just pay for the task resources you asked for. With Lambda, you're additionally giving up temporal control so you can just pay for resources when you're lambda is actually servicing a request.

When I think about the offerings this way, I can start to decide when I want to use them because now I can ask myself "Do I need strict temporal/spatial control over my application?" and "Do I think I can optimize temporal/spatial costs better than Lambda/Fargate?".

My school had Archimedes and I learned to program on those as well as BBCs.

Acorn did go on to come up with the next but one generation of computers, the 10 or so ARM cores in every smart phone.

In terms of defaults matter, shipping with a programming language by default is great. Also shipping with a 400 page manual explaining how to use that language was great, which Acorn did until about 1995 I guess.

I was the first person in my school to use the school computer. I can't say we had programming lessons that often, did Logo in secondary school, but only the graphical parts. But the teachers let us type in programs from magazines, learn ourselves. Depends on what teacher you had really, if they knew programming they probably taught it. That's what I do now.

I haven't had a chance to dig through the documentation yet. Can we deploy a POD instead of just a container? One of the things we are struggling with is all the side services that have to go with a container deployment (i.e. a secure or oauth proxy).
Given the existing architecture of Aurora, the independent scaling of CPU and storage seems pretty straightforward. What is much harder to scale up and (especially) down is a warmed-up buffer pool which is critical for consistent query performance. I wonder if that is what they mean in the article when they say that scaling happens on a "pool of 'warm' instances". If so, I'd be very interested in more details on how that works.
Change is so, so risky.
Agreed - would do my longest 'common' road trip there-and-back without recharging (~4h total driving), though I usually stay overnight so a comfortable top-up overnight would be common.

Then it needs to be rewritten, because it is impossible to tell what the machine specs are (none of them have GPU specs listed) and there is no documentation on which tests are run under the GPU and which are not. The repos contain vague information on GPU options, but there is no information on what was used in the tests.

There is nothing in this article that has any information on GPUs. It doesn't even list the actual machine instances used (would not the AWS tier name be useful here, for example?).

Then clearly you need to get a car with better proximity detection systems. That's easily the simplest collision to detect and avoid for any automated system.

I know that sounds glib, but you need to recognize that if your ability to drive safely is so dependent on the "expected" behavior of other drivers, that maybe driving the way you are (which is to say, in the state of being a human) is the wrong way to solve the problem.

Pretty sure to the extent that this has been studied, exactly the opposite is true. For every "annoyance glitch" you posit, these things are saving 6-7 "loss of attention" fender benders.

FB removes pornographic content, but it doesn't always do so proactively.

If a user shares pornographic content, it may be visible on the site for a short period of time before the content is removed by Facebook.

The goal of the initiative Facebook was attempting to implement was to prevent any revenge-porn photos from being shared on the website at all. Even for a brief period of time.

From a user's standpoint, one hour of pornographic content available is disturbing but not catastrophic. However, one hour of images of pornographic content of themselves being shown to their friends and family is catastrophic.

quality was the keyword here. Yes people spend less on average, but the quality of what they buy is awful. I lived 20 years in various countries of the EU and 10 in the US.

> The downside is that the most critical components of information which tie to identity itself, are the ones that businesses most commonly need to hold to verify identity. More challenging is that without a way to modify identity data (i.e. change your SSN), the insurable risk is huge because it needs to include a discounted cost of identity monitoring forever, and the cost of the individual losses that someone might encounter for the loss of that data. Then of course, if a person's identity is compromised more than once, how do you discount the responsibility across multiple careless parties?

If it gets expensive enough, maybe banks and CC companies and such will finally get off their asses and fix the whole "identity theft" issue. That's a feature, not a bug.

I think the US is too allergic to anything with even a whiff of "secure national ID" for us to let the government fix it, so this is the next best (or, better, depending on your perspective) option. I frankly don't care how we do it, but it's really stupid this is still a thing people have to worry about, and making it cheaper for the banks to fix it than not to fix it seems like the most politically viable solution.
