Can’t recommend OmniFocus (https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus) enough. Has kept me sane the last couple of years.
The comments in this thread focus on senior engineers, but a lot of the big earners I know in the Bay Area aren't engineers--they may be in tech, but senior BD, marketing, product, finance, legal, and especially sales people can all make well north of $300k. At my last company the biggest W2's were all sales people.
Why would exchanges collapse if Tether goes to zero? They wouldn't collapse if Ripple or Iota went to zero.

To an exchange, Tether is just another cryptocurrency. Traders deposit Tether, other traders deposit Ripple or Iota, then the traders trade and the exchange takes a cut.

If any of these goes to zero traders might get wiped out, but how exactly does the exchange go bankrupt?

> It's a socialist program.

I never said there shouldn't be any social services. I don't think 100% socialism is the answer, though.

> It's cheaper.

You are comparing San Francisco to other areas which run these programs, and holding it up as if it is the only alternative to socialism. This is hardly true, isn't it?

> It's giving housing first.

Only to those that play by the rules. I think that is really the best solution out there. A compromise between self responsibility and care.

> We don’t need to look to Rome for that. It’s happened a dozen times in the United States. This isn’t a new scenario.

I think you're being too optimistic. The only time I can think of where the US made the switch successfully was when creating entirely new job sectors. e.g. from Agriculture to Industry meant there were similar numbers of jobs in Industry, and then to the Services. But Automation seems to be a dead end: one worker is so productive he/she can manage an entire fleet of autonomous trucks (e.g.)! So there will most certainly be a lot of people losing their jobs and the kind of jobs opening up for them... don't seem to be many.
I have a fairly modest house and incorporated a dressing room. Wouldn't be without one in any future house, assuming I could afford/justify it. I would also try for a utility room behind my kitchen for stashing mess as our kitchen gets overrun very quickly when we host people (10+ people reasonably often). Things like home offices, games room, second lounge area, etc quickly take up space.
> I never claimed a bad lane change is probable cause for a search.

Perhaps not in so many words...

tptacek states that a bad lane change can be given as an excuse for a stop, but not a search, because it is not probable cause. In the following comment, you reject that claim:

> Bad lane change is explicitly probable cause -- it's direct witnessing of a traffic code violation.

A reasonable interpretation of your comment would be an argument that a bad lane change is probable cause for a search. It makes no sense to differentiate "probable cause for a stop", because there is either no such test, or it should otherwise be the same standard as for a search.

On the other hand, I don't think tptacek has tried to give any advice as to whether a person should be worried about this or not.
It actually seems plausible that SF might have the worst homeless problem as a direct result of actually doing the most to help the homeless.

SF literally gets punished, the better job they do.

As they provide services, the city only attracts and retains a bigger and bigger population who become accustomed to relying on just enough services to continue living on the streets.

San Francisco is creating its own problem here due to its own altruism.

Unions... the thought or intent was good, and initially they helped more than hurt, but eventually things went south as usually happens when power is wielded by a few and backed up by threats.

Unions, rather then help represent workers of a company, eventually hold it hostage with their demands. This hurts the company's ability to flourish, compete and grow.

Let's ask ourselves, why did we need unions during the industrial revolution? and do we still need them today?

1. The fact that unions were ever thought to have been needed suggests the lack of competition at the time. This is often a side effect of over bearing government regulation. There aren't too many jobs in America today where if you quit, you can't find another doing the same thing (Competition for workers drives wages and benefits up)

2. Worker's used to work for one company their whole career. They were loyal to a fault. This is no longer the case today.

3. It was harder to move across the country or world back then. Also Society was less racially diverse (in dispersion) back then. People would not leave their town or side of town because all the immigrants from XYZ country lived there and they would face far more challenge moving to another city than today.

4. Social pressure and media coverage (social media and other).
Most companies would find it hard to survive if their workers were starving because of lack of pay. The same can be said if their factory was grossly unsafe, or if they were being a-holes to their employees in any way. The way we are connected today would expose abhorrent behavior to the world in minutes and people would start to threaten boycotts ETC.

5. We live in a much different world today. Unions, if they were ever really needed, are not anymore. Yet they exist. Teachers somehow cannot be fired for doing shoddy jobs, yet their wages aren't great (is that a good thing?).

6. Registered Nurses go to a junior college for 3 years and start at $100/hr here in northern CA. Meanwhile half of the citizens in this country cannot afford health insurance (They are part of what is driving up the price. Is that a good thing?).

7. Fireman work 3 days a week and are averaging $150k salaries where I live. They still march in protests every few years around here because they aren't able to feed their family whilst living in their frat house making $75 per hour. (I don't want to minimize what fireman do for us. They are heroes who put their life in danger, though they die less often than minors and factory workers who earn far less). The unions have extorted the cities that employ them. (is this a good thing?)

8. Police unions protect bad cops in many cases. Factory and other manufacturing jobs have gone oversees because of the overbearing demands from unions.

9. Unions demand dues, yet often push laws through that the workers don't even agree with ethically or politically.

10. Unions buy and sell politicians with their donations and favors. It's a quid pro quo that has gone on for over 100 years.

What is the upside of unions in the context of 2018? Do we need them? Are they more harm than good?

I'm the same, but with screen. I usually have an iTerm2 tab for each screen session. I have a screen session on a work machine and one on a personal machine, each usually with close to 10 virtual terminals. I connect to both with mosh. I haven't seen a compelling reason for me to switch to tmux, yet.
Or so one would think. But you can try for yourself and see how ad-infested Amazon has become.

To throw a few random examples, I just tried (from Mac / Chrome / Incognito / Signed-out mode), I searched for "sensodyne toothpase". Entire page is full of ads and I have to do a full scroll to see organic non-ads results. Same for "biodegradable trash bags". Almost the same situation for "qtips" though there were 2 partial images of organic search results. Its almost as if I am searching on Google (and no, thats not a compliment).
Evidence says otherwise.

$75M... for what??!
Call me sceptic but I just don't understand how they can raise that kind of money. There is just nothing special about Asana. Is it purely fuelled by amazing growth? And What is the exit strategy here? An acquisition by Atlassian?

Meanwhile, I am bootstrapping and dreaming of launching and making a few $K or hundreds of $K. Maybe I am not ambitious enough when there seem to be so much "free" money up for grabs.
Thinking through the dynamics a few weeks ago, the thought occurred that at least part of the homeless crisis in the US, which really didn't start until the 1980s, may be attributable to the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and subsequent changes to the U.S. financial system.

California's Proposition 13 and massive constraints on housing don't much help either.

Drugs, stress, climate, mental illness, and various social safety net breakdowns are, of course, other (and significant) factors.

I'm the author of this library. The algorithm permits to remove an object from the image, only it needs somehow to be localized. After localization it can be applied to that area a higher energy map, which means that part will be avoided by the seam carver. I will implement a face detection algorithm to automatically exclude faces to get not altered by the carver.
The Luddites smashed machinery because the ownership was using it to drop their cottage industries off the map without a moments notice. No negotiations, no winding down, retooling, retraining or nothing, just pack your shit and go starve out of sight. Can’t see how that wouldn’t happen again

There's cheaper housing outside of cities already and it doesn't solve the problem. Only housing near economic opportunity means anything.

Given the constrained supply of houses in south bay, you need only a handful of people with 300-400K+ salaries to justify the home prices.

For example, today there are only 44 homes (3+ bed, 2+ bath) in Sunnyvale [1]. That means you need only 44 successful bids to cover entire Sunnyvale market. Now consider number of E5/L5 SWEs in FB/Google and their equivalents across LinkedIn, Microsoft, Apple etc. Also consider double income couples where one person is somewhat junior with a spouse contributing further to gross family income. Also consider other high paying roles in similar companies like Product Manager, Sales etc. There would be thousands of families passing the bar of 300-400K gross annual income.

It is in fact a surprise that median price of those 44 homes is less than 1.3M [1], given the proximity of Sunnyvale to all these companies. Home prices are really determined at the margins of income distribution and not at the averages.

It sounds like you're giving up until the city solves the problem. I've been homeless and taken in by others, and likewise my family has taken homeless folks into our own house. There is a lot we can do at a personal level, but in the last analysis the problem is systemic: it's caused by capitalism and the regime of private property, not the policies of one city.

Right, so in the situation you describe, they no longer have a dollar backing the issue of new tether, in fact they have conjured them up from nowhere and used them to buy cryptocurrency. So while the original 10 million in tether is backed by USD, the new stuff isn't. And the mass printing has conveniently propped up the BTC price as well!

While both might be true, it does not change the fact that Linux is not a good choice for firmware because the product is simply bad. And asking for links (I did originally write videos and I meant those exact ones) and then complaining about having to watch through them is exactly what’s wrong with our industry. That kind of mentality spills over into code quality or lack thereof. It is high time to start owning up to it and change course.
In my experience Unions in Poland will sooner let the company close than give an inch, to a point where the government is bailing out private companies just so they wouldn't get a massive strike by the unions.

It sounds like you haven't really gotten to know many homeless people. If you did, you'd realize that what they typically need is not a job but something more like basic income - food and shelter, which can be more easily provided in a place that's not the most expensive city in America.
How Artificial Intelligence Will Change the Retail Industry
Espionage might have been the official charge against Pilecki, yes. But Soviets used that as an excuse to kill pretty much everyone they didn’t like so I wouldn’t take that charge too seriously.

And how can they view Pilecki as a spy when he was providing intel to their British allies on their common enemy? Any reasonable country would consider Pilecki a hero, not a spy. You know, the old "Enemy of my enemy, friend of my friend" rule.

Unless of course Soviets were still respecting Ribbentrop-Molotov pact and considered Germans the allies and Brits the enemies, then prosecuting Pilecki for spying on Germans would make sense.

> Therefore they can afford to pay more for the ad spots than someone without that data, who gets less precisely targeted ads, and fewer product sales per advertisement shown.

Isn't this fundamentally an argument to outsource a greater portion of ad creation and campaigns, or parts thereof, to Google?

Google isn't just the best ad platform, it's likely the smartest user of that ad platform, and has the automation/ML chops to be the fastest and most competent user of that platform.... To my business eyes that sounds like a company that can offer services deeper into the advertising value chain than 'just' hosting the ad-canvas.

On the flip side, even as the #1 advertising company in the world it's still darned hard for Google to be the #1 Shoe Manufacturing company in the world at the same time. If that dynamic holds then Googles growth in this area should be a massive threat to advertising agencies to the collective benefit of businesses in the rest of the market who can leverage their services more efficiently, n'est pas?

> this is a good move by Red Hat to position themselves with rkt

Red Hat does not give a damn about rkt. They care about Kubernetes, specifically establishing and consolidating a dominant position in upstream kubernetes development. CoreOS helps them do that.

rkt on the other hand is a dead project and completely useless to Red Hat.

> Google, on the other hand, doesn't need Docker to plug any holes in their go to market unless it's a blocking play.

Google has a massive hole in their go to market. They have no clue how to sell to enterprises, and because of that they are falling behind AWS and Microsoft in the cloud market. However you're right that it would take much more than a Docker to plug that hole.

Honestly if I were Google I would try to buy Red Hat, or an even larger enterprise vendor like SAP or Oracle. Not only would they be buying the enterprise distribution they lack, but they would also secure a major customer for their own infrastructure and keep up with the economies of scale AMZN and MSFT are building up. But I don't know that they will develop the humility to admit that they need that - and even if they do there's no guarantee that the integration would work... Culturally they are worlds apart.

EDIT: another interesting acquisition target for Google Cloud would be Vmware. Diane Greene founded it, then got fired by EMC post-acquisition, something I am betting she still holds a grudge over. Now she runs Google Cloud. If I'm her, I like the idea of buying the place and savoring a triumphal Steve Jobs takeover moment. I don't know to what extent this is complicated by this week's announcement of a Vmware/Dell reverse merger. Maybe they buy the whole thing? But then would Michael Dell want to run this new mega-Cloud group? And how does that play with Diane's ambitions? This might bool down to whether Diane likes the idea of working for Michael Dell. He has vastly more go-to-market experience which is what matters most in their position.

It's not what a compiler writer would want by any stretch. Having helped write a C++ compiler I can a test to that. I will agree that C is a nice language. It does exactly as you tell it.

The complexity I would say is what you get when you "design by committee"
