Meh, New York could be wiped out by a moderate-sized earthquake (that we're supposedly overdue for and definitely unprepared for) any day now.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as a city that's not vulnerable to at least one climate change or natural disaster threat.

Bertolini the CEO of Aetna walked away with a $500 million parting gift. Courtesy of your healthcare premiums. There's the fox guarding the henhouse off to a new henhouse. STOP THIS OBSCENITY of administrators paying themselves so much to work in a risk free environment. When they run red ink, the government bails them out. Taxpayers again - shafted from both ends.

My parents are baby boomers and they said there were just kids everywhere when they grew up. Every house on the street had at least two. Kids went outside to play. Parents had real perspective on the dangers and risks in life after living through ww2 and a kid falling out of a tree was not a concern.
Right. The lack of of a rotary Mazda on the market right now is really more of a success story for politicians and government regulation. It is a good thing, but we are poorer some damn fun cars because of it. That said, you're not really going to truly enjoy it east of the Mississippi anyway...

My kid tells us we did her/him a big disservice by just who were were: an in love couple with a good marriage.

She/he tells us ahe/he was so unprepared for relationships and the knowledge that others' sid not come from our style home (happy marriage filled with love, imo)

Now how does one predict that??? Introduce my kids to broken marriages?
Yes I guess it's highly subjective. And being from the UK where we have 28 days by law, for me personally, each extra day is probably worth less in comparison

Teenage boys and girls partying together without adults is something many kind of societies frowned upon. They used to be scared of unwanted pregnancy a lot.

It did happened occasionally, but it was seen as something bad and stigma (especially toward such girls) could be quite high.
This always gets me, too. Everyone targets the NSA, while freely giving away all their private email and internet activity (and now meatspace activity) to private companies without any of the oversight that NSA is subjected to. We really have no idea what G/F do with it all, and have no way to find out. Whereas with the NSA there exist many avenues to make sure it is not abused.

> The simple answer is not to construct a market, but just have the government set a reasonable price.

My point is that all markets are artificially constructed. Having the government set prices is simply constructing a market using a different set of rules.

Your proposal sounds like applying the "all-payer" system to ambulance service.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-payer_rate_setting

There probably isn't a more appropriate use case for all-payer than ambulance service!

> Also, comparing Uber to an ambulance is silly. They aren't comparible services.

Au contraire -- it's a brilliant, revealing comparison. It illustrates exactly what is missing from ambulance service today: price transparency.

The Power Broker is a great book about Robert Moses, a very influential city planner in NYC. The book shows how much of planning is politics. Just look at how much trouble San Francisco has and you'll see that the problem isn't lack of ideas or lack of money.

Some of the best advice I ever got was to do interviews even if you don't think you'll get the job, or even just for practice. It's like going to the doctor; you just have to go do it sometimes, and it can be surprisingly good long-term.
This advice is pretty ridiculous for someone with in-demand talents. I get it if you are in some highly-replaceable role, or you are looking to swing the work-life balance more towards life and you want to just play by the rules and keep your head down.

But if you are a talented contributor and you believe in the value you add, you probably shouldn't listen to any of these points, they are heavily "company-centric" in focus.

>1. Don't make it all about you

Unless I have a significant equity stake, this literally IS just about me and my employment arrangement with the company. It's frustrating to be told that my salary is dependent on equity value increasing - which I won't see any piece of. Shouldn't it be dependent on my value to the company and not the value of the company itself?

>2. Don't compare yourself to your co-workers

Why the fuck not? This is standard corp-speak for "don't rock the boat, man." They also describe looking at coworker salaries in the HR system (they say "use" not "hack" or "break into" the system) as "illicit." This is the same old nonsense about not discussing salaries to keep the power with the company.

>3. Don't make promises you can't (or don't want to) keep

This is condescending and basically amounts to "don't threaten to quit because that's not professional." How about we start looking at why people are being pushed to a point where they feel like threatening to quit is their only option?

>4. Don't ask too soon

Bullshit. As soon as you feel that your value has measurably increased you should ask to be compensated for it. You shouldn't have to work 1.5 times the hours/workload for 2 years or some shit just to be considered for a raise/promotion. There's also a compounding effect over time here, each delay in a raise for you is going to delay the _next_ raise as well.

Obviously this is within reason, you can't walk in the door of a company, fresh out of school, and then demand a raise 3 months in. But there are similar scenarios later on when you have experience where you might walk into a new job and you realize within 3 months that you were hoodwinked about the workload when you interviewed. It's perfectly fine to at least discuss an increase in comp to match what you now understand the job requirements to be.

I am sure that some people in some industries have success with this but there's always the risk that whoever asks for a raise in this way is going to get targeted for a staff-cut, months later, after the alternative opportunity has been passed up.

The way to do it is to look for another job and then just take that opportunity or aim for a promotion/pay-raise/departmental-shift like everyone else.

The truth is that most car buyers do not want "objectively better". They want a mobile appliance that they spend no effort to maintain and won't take a significant loss on the resale.

Kids approaching 7 and 10 watch some movies/vetted series online, only recently got Kindle tablets which they are literally only allowed to use on long (3 hr+) transits, never at home.

No TV or analog in house.

I am now torn as the older kid is at a prime age to introduce programming...

...but the benefits we see daily from no-screen childhood are to our biased eyes overwhelming.

Our kids spend all their free time engaged in imaginative play much of it collaborative, and manipulating physical objects, and when we can get out, outside.

Their ability to sit in a room with no screen and make a world seems pretty rare, compared to peers who were given ipads or whatever years ago.

But I also worry, how do we also make sure they are literate and savvy.

I fear that as soon if the programming bug bites it will be the End...
> Knowing what your employer finds valuable is a difficult proposition

Yes. But you probably have an idea how to reduce the number of headaches for your manager, and how to make him or her look better in front of that person's own manager.

You may go unrecognized for a while be keep doing it because eventually you'll be that person that your manager really doesn't want to loose. That's value.

The 3.5mm jack is a "TRRS" connector (3 conductors and a ground). So, left+right audio and video.

HMOs were a minor player 50 years ago. They are a euphemism for the corporate cancer that maximizes profits at the expense of the sick. Even when I started working in Mass 25 years ago, it was one of the few states with HMOs. They have continued to morph and are now ripe for purchase by the more profitable corporations (pharma) CVS buying Aetna is the first shot. Although Aetna is an insurance company, they offered many stripped down 'products' = HMO like plans.

My company dangled the carrot.
The job became so mundane that I wrote my own tools to do alot of repetitive tasks.

I understood my value, as I was doing 80% of the team's work first year.

2nd year, I procrastinated, put in 50% effort, still outperformed my team mates.

There were "senior" members that I quadrupled output.

I am probably overqualified for my role.

I asked for raise, as I'm undervalued of what I can do.
I was a lil cocky, but true, that I coasted and still outperformed everyone.

I gave them 3 months to show they value me, as I had offers from other teams and a bunch of people were leaving to other local companies.

I said all the thanks, kudos, awards, and even titles are meaningless.
I want to get paid, that's all that matters.
The more I get paid, the more I am willing to do.

Took 3.5 months, they gave me a raise and a promotion doing slightly different things so not so borinh
"Overweight/obese blacks are at increased risk for vitamin D deficiency because darker skin absorbs less sunlight -- the skin makes vitamin D in response to sun exposure -- and fat tends to sequester vitamin D for no apparent purpose, says Dong, the study's corresponding author."
I've always found biology and medicine research to be a great pivot for people in technology and programming because of the similarities in the mindset used when approaching a problem. For example, alot of bio and med research is looking at complex pathways and interconnected systems and seeing how we can go into different points and add, remove, or change things and how we can interfere with these systems in a controlled way. Software engineers have to similar tasks because they work on large interconnected systems as well and understand different protocols. Penetration testers and security experts also fit this comparison well because they have to try different approaches at different points in a system to gain access or control of a system the same way biology and medicine researchers have to find different ways to interfere with a system to develop a new drug to inhibit a pathway or change the expression of certain proteins. I feel as if crisper / cas9 is a great example for this comparison because researchers are still exploring the many different possible things can do with the same way people in technology explore new tech and apply it to new problems.

Both the photographer and his subjects are the elite. No-one in a top hat would tip it to anyone of a lower status.
20% when running SELECT 1; over a loopback network interface, not in real-world workloads.

The other benchmark that has generated some consternation is running 'du' on a nonstop loop.

Both of these situations are pathological cases and don't reflect real-world performance. My guess is a 5-10% performance hit on general workloads. Still significant, but nowhere near as bad as some of the numbers that are getting thrown around.

And, databases are the worst case scenario, most real-world applications are showing 1% performance impact or less.

> If you can read kernel (and hypervisor) memory then it seems like a very small step from that to a local root vulnerability - e.g. forge some kind of security token by copying it.

This seems very wrong. I'm not aware of any privilege isolation in Windows relying on the secrecy of any value. Security tokens have opaque handles for which "guessing" makes no sense. Are you aware of anything?

Outside of keeping a Field Notes notebook on me at all times for jotting down ideas (or keeping score when playing a board game or cards), I have basically just copied and tweaked the entire system from http://plaintext-productivity.net/ to work for me.

For the journal, I create a new text file every month and use Markdown to type up what is happening. Every day, I insert the date and list what I hope to accomplish for the day. I will occasionally add what I have completed for the day, notes on random stuff, etc.

It's quick, searchable, and accessible from anywhere (backed up to both OneDrive and Dropbox and editable from home/work/phone, etc.).
I linked you to an explanatory blogpost from the guy that came up with it since that might clear up things better than me trying to repeat what is said in the blogpost. That prevents me from needlessly repeating content.
The difficult scenario is if you really enjoy your job. I work at a company that I have almost nothing to complain about... flexible, great benefits, no micromanagement, challenging and stimulating work. However, I do feel that I am slightly underpaid. It is hard to _really_ know what the environment would be like at a new company if I was willing to walk. I guess the hard thing (for me) is quantifying the importance of the other factors besides money.

But doesn't the CPU enter kernelspace every time a syscall takes place? So based on what you've described, every time a syscall returns control back to userspace, the TLB will be flushed, which means slower page access times in general.
No. App Engine Flex uses containers internally (the "flex" meaning supporting any type of app rather than the traditional built-in App Engine environments of Ruby, Python, etc.).

The appeal of App Engine is simply being able to type `gcloud app deploy`, which tars up your local source code, builds a Docker image from it, then does a rolling deploy of the new image to replace your old app containers - all from that one command, no complicated build system needed on your part (i.e. Google Cloud does it all for you).

My point was the moment you stray from the App Engine happy path (`gcloud app deploy` fails for obtuse reasons), you're out in the weeds. That plus the fact that App Engine has some weird missing integrations (e.g. Cloud CDN) often makes it easier to just jump to GKE in my opinion.
I am not so sure. Cloud providers will probably want to get this fixed and AMD would be a convenient alternative in the short term. I think the bigger risk is that rather than going with AMD, cloud providers will pursue a different CPU architecture altogether, especially in the long-term. There were plenty of things to dislike about x86 virtualization etc. before this mess.
Setting resolution through config.txt is a feature of the firmware, not of any specific OS (although I think there's something weird about how NOOBS and Berryboot map their /boot partitions around, or something...and that's part of why I avoid them).

Anyhow, setting resolution in config.txt ought to work everywhere.
