"This begins by having a limited gov't"

No, that's oversimplistic and silly.

I'm all for having leaner operations as far as that goes, but let's say there's a new law restricting people from bribing elected officials, complete with a funded enforcement arm.. is that 'less' or 'more' government? 'less' or 'more' liberty?

You will never, ever, ever have a government that's too small to be worth bribing.
> then you've met a Neoliberal.

By your definition. But the term has been used for a whole lot more in many different context and that makes it so useless.

> The dogma of today's right-wing "mercantile" politicians is a perversion of Adam Smith. These politicians state that the invisible hand requires complete government deregulation in order to function. They ignore Smith's point that the invisible hand requires both free markets and government regulation of monopoly to function.

No. That's not what they ignore. These "mercantile" politicians never had the slightest interest in Adam Smiths ideas or in limiting power of the state and or business in the first place.

The point of Smith and his fellows (like Hume) at the time was that business would try to capture the state and that was one reason they tried to limited the power of the state and strengthen individual freedoms. Sure they might have been in favor of some regulation but what we have now is so far beyond the wildest dreams of Smith that it is hard to argue that, this is what he meant.

The problem is that the state is forever growing and that no democratic procedures can prevent business (and voters) from competing to capture these rents, rather then the rents from the state.

I would recommend 'Public Choice' economics because they think threw these different intensives very systematically.

Not that this singular comment is going to help reform free software culture anytime soon, but this business of choice needs to be examined a bit. Simply adding more choices is not an advantage by itself. Have 10 choices which are all bad is not better than having 1 bad option.

In the case of free software, there is a limited resource of people's time and skills. Adding more choices means spreading that resource more thinly - you basically make things worse by having more choices.

Sadly the community is more fractious even than most political landscapes, so the probability of convergence and de-duplication of effort is basically zero and the linux desktop will always be a bit half-baked.
I agree it has to be a democracy. The right points to harms of government overreach to argue for less government. The left points to exploding inequality and argues for more government in order to tackle it. A good faith assumption could be that both are trying to decentralize power and maybe putting it that way will make it easier to reach across the ideological divide.
Wow, Pony! Pony is one of my favorite young languages. It fits a similar niche that Go fits (not saying that either language can't be used for other purposes), in that they both are great for building cli tools with good concurrency primitives.

Pony, however, uses the Actor model like Erlang (although the programming model is a bit different). In my opinion this is a superior model for concurrency than goroutines. I highly recommend checking it out if you have any interest in cli tools or erlang/elixir.
That doesn’t make sense, unless you meant...

If one governs your rights, you don’t have any.

Freedom isn’t government granting you rights, it’s government protecting you from coercion.

If government is the source of your rights, then government can take those rights away.

If government is the source of protection for your rights, they can only take that protection away. Leaving you your rights and now full burden of protecting them.

Corporations don’t have any power without government, which is why a limited government limits corporate power.
You can already do this now via Uber, Lyft, or a similar service. Other than making such a service somewhat cheaper, what fundamentally changes?
Minneapolis is a sanctuary city and has a huge Somali population, so there are a lot of Somali restaurants. But Somalis haven't really "cracked the code" on how to run an American-style restaurant in terms of service, for the most part. And really, I don't think Somali food is a "great cuisine" food the way Ethiopian is (man, Ethiopians and Somalis are nothing alike!), or Vietnamese, or Thai, or Mexican, or Indian. It's more like, say, Polish food... something workmanlike that can be made excellent with effort, but lacks the ease of the great cuisines.

On the positive side, a couple of Somali places and a Kenyan place in town have cracked the code, and are offering slick, friendly Chipotle-style counter service experiences with really delicious food.
how about developer camps: let's go outside in the wild and find a spot - close enough to the next transformer station so people can charge their many batteries. It would be like other festivals, except likely less alcohol, procedurally generated music, hiking, socializing, hacking. I'd be so in on this.

Miami I think is going to have a big future. At current growth rates it will be #6 biggest city by population, still cheap, nice quality of life. Also as far away as you can get from Seattle in every way, so probably not a great pick for HQ2, but we'll hear more from this city I think.
Its not broken. The 'error' in the example you gave is: php comes in many flavours and your distro has (wisely) decided not to make this decision for you.

You have to decide which flavour of php you want to use and install the dependency manually, yourself.

This is a feature, not a bug.

Not knowing how to use package management and why you'd do things this way, does not mean that package management is broken. It means you don't know what you're doing.

Honestly: PEBCAK.

I assume you talk about terminal 5. I'm not a fan departing from 5B or 5C but in most cases that's announced at least 20 min before boarding and you can easily make it there in 5-10 min (most of which is spent waiting for the train). I experienced twice that the announcement came a bit later but then they kept the gate open later to ensure everyone makes it.
It's not a myth, it's a very common interpretation of Dodge v Ford [1]

>A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end, and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits, or to the non-distribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes...

It's not the only interpretation however

>Dodge is often misread or mistaught as setting a legal rule of shareholder wealth maximization. This was not and is not the law. Shareholder wealth maximization is a standard of conduct for officers and directors, not a legal mandate. The business judgment rule [which was also upheld in this decision] protects many decisions that deviate from this standard. This is one reading of Dodge. If this is all the case is about, however, it isn't that interesting.

I've been wondering for a while where Waymo is getting all of its money since I've never heard them mentioned except when they're suing Uber or an article saying "Waymo's tech is awesome!", and I didn't realize until right this moment that it's a Google spin-off. That makes a lot more sense.

That's a multi-decade project. They should get started now and will be competitive for whatever the Amazon of 2040 is.

The first step is a backbone rail line that starts in Chapel Hill, runs up to Duke, then through Durham to RTP, to the Airport, and from there to and through Raleigh. Then add spurs and spokes to cover the region and funnel people to the backbone.

Good luck getting the legislature to authorize, much less fund that.

Ultimately it has to show the same data unless the site is completely discontinuing the service (in which case you are up a creek in either scenario). Even in the face of a total redesign you're usually just adjusting a few signatures and maybe tweaking the traversal tree.

You can run into problems when they remove things like chronological listing view in favor of some "algorithm" that you can't control, but even that just adds a little work on the back end to detect duplicates and an asterisk that some of the content will be missed.

There can also be an arms race where the site developers will start trying all kinds of crazy techniques to make scraping harder. Ironically this often happens after they revoke API access, meaning users don't have an alternative except to participate in the arms race.
I agree to a very large extent; I was just commenting on a response to an article about increasing voter turnout. The suggested approach (mail-in-only voting), while nice in many ways, does not (empirically) have that particular effect.

I think voter turnout has become the axis on which all modern (presidential) elections have hinged. Trump didn't beat Hillary in the rust belt by convincing hoards of Obama supporters to bot Republican. What the Obama voters did, though, was stay home. The numbers bear this out (although we don't have individual tallies) -- Trump didn't win any more votes in those states than Romney did in the last election. The same voters who pulled that lever came out and did the same thing they did in the last cycle.

That's also why the polls were so off -- they rely on "likely voter" models, not realizing that what they should be measuring is not who likely voters will vote for, but whether or not people will show up at the polls. Instead, they used "likely voter" criteria that they learned in the Obama election and gauged sentiment in that group.
If this is anywhere near as powerful as PICO-8, we could start seeing ports of those games over to this. In fact, I'd probably port (and finish) my PICO-8 game if it's powerful enough.
Is a terrific idea in paper, but there are serious obstacles to solve. There is a potential problem in using a long swinging rope attached to a powefull engine in a beach with thousands of people looking. Ropes at high speed can cut the skin. Even worse, you do not need to apply a lot of force to suffocate or break the nek of a children.

In case of severe bad weather could work, sometimes. Ropes attached to a heavy engine that could crash and sink in seconds can be very dangerous in water.

I didn't find the DevOps Days format to be all that effective, however. A lot of conversations, but it didn't appear that any great technical depth was there at all. I may have unrealistic expectations having gone to mostly developer conferences before that one.

I have to admit that I have never enjoyed conferences all that much. I don't easily meet new people, which is one reason, but it's more than just that. The culture of software development is simply odd, and the people are mostly odd, too.

Time.

My son, then living in Washington, DC, got a job offer in California. He had little time to find an apartment, etc., and it did not seem practical to spend what time he had driving across the country. We stuffed the trunk with what it would take, drove out to Montgomery County, and handed off the car to the mover.
In the article they say it supports standard usb keyboards.
I’m presuming that it’s longer than 2-3 years to truly get full automated driving.

Website Review and Feedback
Please help! I am looking for any and all critique of my website www.jays-jewellery.com

Be as critical as you feel you need to be, all feedback welcome.
We don't use cloudformation because honestly, it sucks. It's hard limits are a pain in the ass to get around (with 150 lambda functions, we need hundreds of resources, so that means nested stacks, which just suck) and it managing the api gateway just doesn't do what we want.

We have a custom script to deploy our own API Gateway using the AWS SDK and we generate a swagger file from simple json config files.

For the API Gateway issues, so far, we have a few things that are something we have to watch out for.

- All lambda endpoints through APIG are lambda proxy type. This means we can have a framework handle standard request / response stuff. The downside is that we can't support binary endpoints easily because they haven't fixed that issue yet.

- HTTP proxy pass through endpoints have to be added to the swagger somehow before we deploy. This is a little annoying, but not a huge issue

- Merge vs Override for deployments. We merge in beta, and override in other environments. This allows us to keep endpoints exactly as they are, but allow flexible testing in beta

1 APIG for 1 micro service isn't great IMO at scale since we run all our endpoints under on domain and mapping all of them would be a pain.
Coraline Ehmke is an ideologue.

>I had expressed dismay before at our hiring practices. It seemed that whenever we had our monthly engineering all-hands meeting, the new hire announcements featured three more young white guys. I felt that we could do better.

> We had over three hundred applications, almost 75% of them from underrepresented minorities in tech. In the end, we filled all three of our positions with engineers from marginalized communities.

I'm quite curious what the job posting actually said.

What is hilarious about this, is this is the kind of thing that James Damore actually suggested in his memo.

Of course he wasn't really specifically referring to the recruitment side of things, but the actual job.
Also considering the other sub-thread, it does appear that having kids will incentivize consuming more. There are gaping needs that are most easily solved with big cars, big houses, etc., and I don't think it's necessarily productive to chastise anyone for not going out of your way to avoid these choices.

For people who are considering having kids in the future and care about consuming less, consider that the largest positive ecological impact you can probably make is to have fewer kids. It's important to consider this before deciding on kids, because once they're around, the house is stacked against you in terms of switching to (or retaining) low-consumption habits.
I approach it from the following angle:

A. He did it; he is guilty.
B. The justice system in Louisiana is corrupt and biased against black people and poor people.

Both can be true at once. This results in a situation where he is guilty, everyone knows he is guilty, and then everyone--including the public defenders' office--tramples over his right to due process in a rush to execute him.

I think the parent's point still probably stands. Wherever they end up, assuming there really is a 50K HQ2 in the end, they have to convince a lot of people to relocate. And a lot of people would be: 1.) Detroit, no thanks or 2.) I can live with Detroit but when I end up leaving Amazon after 2 years like so many people do, I'd have to find a job in a different location. I imagine the talent question at least factored in--schools in the general area notwithstanding.
> globalism has not worked out for substantial parts of the population in most developed countries

Pardon my language, but that's crap. Every developed country has seen yuuuuge profits from globalism.

What, not all of it trickled down you say? That's a distribution problem. It's not a problem with globalization.

Shrinking the pie in order to pursue a more fair distribution is some ass-backwards, rube-goldberg-machine nonsense. Take the profits, fix the distribution. Invest in infrastructure while you're at it.

It depends on your definition of "best". I agree with you from a technical point of view but this is not my sole decision criterion.

I had setup an Active Directory server on a Raspberry Pi for serving my Windows 7 clients. I would have loved to continue using Windows as I think it is great technology. However I was switching because of some crucial decisions by Microsoft:

1. Shoving unwanted "features" along with security updates. As much as I understand Microsoft in wanting a more uniform landscape this is a no-go for me. The only reason I was not hit by the Windows 10 mandatory upgrade was the fact I had the machines in an AD domain (or at least I suspect so).

2. Phoning home without any recourse for me to even know what is collected. How long it is stored. Remember: innocent data today could bring me in trouble tomorrow. Collection can change any time without me even noticing.
I'm surprised it didn't mention an obvious difference from modern conceptions of the free market: he thought landownership was a monopoly privilege that could be taxed without harm, so long as you are taxing only the land rent itself, not the improvements.

"Ground-rents are a still more proper subject of taxation than the rent of houses. A tax upon ground-rents would not raise the rents of houses. It would fall altogether upon the owner of the ground-rent, who acts always as a monopolist, and exacts the greatest rent which can be got for the use of his ground." - Wealth of Nations, Book V, Chapter II
well, that money does belong to shareholders. if they choose to spend it rather than invest it, that means they saw no good investment opportunities. Spending in that case is the optimal thing to do anyway rather than for apple to hoard it.
