Yes. Definitely.

I spent 9 years at one company - 7 years longer than I should have. After a 10K raise the first year and with 3% raises after that and bonuses slowly being cut, I only made $7K more in 2008 than I did in 2002. After that, I started aggressively job hopping - 4 jobs - and learning and over the next 10 years, I made over 60K more.

Now, I am looking to see what technology I should jump on and best case, I might be able to get $10K more over the next two years. I'm actually okay with that, I live a comfortable lifestyle.

I don't want to go into management and I want to stay hands on. My current position as a dev lead as about as high as I want to go and I would be fine being a strict individual contributor.

Are there NYC-specific REITs for doing this in < 1 "house sticker price" increments?

"Hometown REITs" could help renters avoid being priced out, around the margins, at least.
That dashboard is misleading. NYC has one of the lowest rates of building permits per population of any area in the US[0]. We're building more, but the population is growing as well. Supply is not able to meet demand.

Rereading your question, I realize I may have not actually answered an underlying topic: what is the difference between a certificate and a signature?

The short answer is:

- a "certificate" contains a number of things: a portion of an asymmetric key (either public or private), and a ton of metadata[1] to give information about that key: validity period, algorithms used, version, etc.

- a "signature" is the result of a crypto operation on data that proves the data (a) has not changed since the operation, and (b) the person doing the signing owns the private portion of that asymmetric key.

As I said in my other message, a signature doesn't expire, but it's related directly (and generated by) the certificate used to create it. So if that creation certificate expires (or is revoked) it calls into question the validity of the signature(s) created from that certificate.

Let me know if you're interested in more background on asymmetric cryptography and the relationship between public keys and crypto, private keys and signatures, and the role of certificate authorities vs. a PGP-oriented 'web of trust'.

Are you saying this after having read up on Stellar[1] in particular or is anything other than "full" decentralization a deal breaker for you?

I think Stellar's model if Internet-style (as in the backbone network infrastructure) organic, federated trust relationships is the most practical and viable approach to decentralization that I have seen.

Organizations decide who to trust based on their relationships with them and individuals decide which organizations to trust for the same reason. That is how trust works in the real world, and for good reason. The problem is that the costs of operating at a global level in the current financial system are very high, which leads to centralized control.

Stellar will potentially allow many different types of new, small and innovative organizations to participate in the same network as larger more traditional institutions, with no restrictions for joining the network. Of course those small organization still have to compete for customers in the real world and the playing field is never fully level, but certainly opens up the game.

I personally just don't see the Utopian, fully-decentralized, f*ck-the-system future that a lot of crytpo-enthusiasts envision. It just doesn't mesh with the reality of how non-technical users operate in the real world. For example, right now the vast majority of US users purchase Bitcoin through Coinbase, because that is who they deem trustworthy. What I do see with Stellar is the possibility for greater innovation and greater individual access to the global payments network.

Who puts regulations in place about how many deer it is "fair" for a wolf to kill? And yet, the system has been running for longer than we are around to know about it. It is however when the humans tried to "regulate" the wolf population in Scotland, for example, that the forests were lost due to deer overpopulation. So I would argue that less regulations make the system regulate itself, which it does better than humans can do.
If you want your tool to actually get used, you should put in at least a little effort towards trying to get it in package managers. I don't know why you're acting so surprised about that.
> Users worried about their privacy can always choose not to use it.

You make it look like it's easy for the normal Apple user to switch to Android. In fact it's quite the opposite and the whole situation is even worse because most of them won't even be aware of the dangers. The major reasons for people I know to chose an IPhone over an Android is the "ease of use" (resulting from the fact that their first smart phone was an IPhone already and they never tried anything different) and because they are "so confused with all the options/apps/general possibilities on Android". Those are the people who need to be especially protected. They are caged within a locked environment of a single US company. This alone should make you think.

> But really, nearly everyone shares images of themselves online, so even that's of dubious value.

This sentence together with this high tech approach you demonstrate on the rest of the comment is mind-boggling. As it's the most common approach of companies/individuals to abolish digital privacy all together. The old version of it was "I'm not afraid of X because I have nothing to hide". Horrifying, but now I understand where your attitude comes from.

Being born in a oppressive state, this is where I would actually use the word "stupid".

> I'd challenge you to find any security expert who agrees that Face ID as Apple implements it can realistically...

As I've wrote above. It may be that FaceID is not a big deal right now. We don't know it for sure since it's all locked down but we assume it. There is however still the ARKit and all those APIs using those depth/facial mapping capabilities. Those becoming the new standard for popular apps is just a matter of time and since you've already given rights to use the camera, those features will be (or are already?) a nice extra. So you see...we don't even need to reach out to possible changes from the paranoid government governing Apple and their data under and awaiting some patch to allow the access to FaceID data. It's far more accessible.

I wonder, would you allow your phone to take a drop of blood for authentication or where does your privacy actually start?

Why would I care what happens to some rando for profit company, even if it is small?

All I care about is the consumer. And consumers benefit when prices are low.

People keep predicting that price dumping will cause prices to rise later or something but those predictions have never come true.

IE, people keep saying that Walmart will do this, but how long have they been around? A long time, and prices are still low. Same with Amazon. Prices are still low.

How many decades from now will those inevitable price increases happen?
That's going to be hard. More than likely the solution will come from ISPs blocking port 11211 on public networks.
> headline is implying (some kind of hugely complex, hard-to-create UI)

Making anything simple is HUGELY complex. It took them years to get what they wanted and it shows. I think complex UI is actually lazy work. Space 4X games have notorious UI. Endless Space 2's interface might be much simpler than others but I guarantee you they put more time into refining their interface.

Being able to explain or create something "simple" is perhaps the hardest part of creating, and is much harder than naming things in programming and that actually is perhaps is the hardest part.

"electricity is only subsidized when the local jurisdiction is creating more of it than it needs anyway?" is false - there are a few cases of negative spot prices, which nonindustrial customers can't get, but all the rest of the time electricity subsidies are for economic and social reasons.

Normally surplus electricity results in a curtailment of fossil sources.

There won't be because it still actually is useful governments and businesses. They can tangibly use it to increase their functioning/profits - that was not the case during the AI winter. Computers sucked, data sucked, and there was no internet. I hope you're right in that the attention it is getting decreases. A reasonable limit of what we can actually do with what we currently have is probably within the next 15 years. Having 50 deep learning moocs that teach introductory matrix multiplication isn't really benefitting much either. Hopefully things come to a better equilibrium soon.

I'm very pessimistic about blockchains but I'm not sure if they're going away or not, either. Regardless of regulation, there's a lot of people screaming about blockchains and that doesn't seem to be changing: “I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.”
Not necessarily. Dating apps like Tinder that are focused on hookups have much lower paid subscriber numbers relative to apps focused on relationships.
I don't believe it's intended to really replace AMP. It sounds like Google is establishing a set of performance guidelines (as many have been encouraging them to do). If you want to meet those guidelines, one way is to use AMP which I expect they'll continue to maintain and build on. If you don't like AMP for whatever reason, you can use whatever solution you want to meet the same guidelines.

It's not that apps want to be free, as much as apps that any reasonably competent programmer can make are driven down in price because many reasonably competent programmers do make them.

If you look at applications that require a large amount of domain expertise to build (CAD, audio/video editing, etc.) they're still expensive and have only recently begun to come down in price, in part because there are some free versions that, while noticeably inferior, are still useful to a substantial population of users.

Exactly. Is "blockchain" just the data structure, or is it the data structure + the protocol for communication + the software to validate it?

Another example might be bit torrent. I personally wouldn't classify bit torrent as just the data structure. I would say its the data structure, the protocol and the end clients. However if someone used these technologies to create a different format and a different protocol, I wouldn't think of it as bit torrent.

And in the newest installment, https://github.com/google/closure-library/issues/883 is UA-sniffing that is now preventing Firefox from aligning with all other browsers on whether arrow keys fire keypress events, which causes _other_ Google things, which assume they don't, to break.

Also Closure assumes that only things with "WebKit" in their UA might be running on a mobile device and that all browsers fall into the WebKit/IE/Edge/Gecko buckets (and will fail badly if a browser does not).

> Long ago I had a co-worker who would slap me on the back in an "attaboy" sort of way. Firm and solid, but not physically damaging. I politely asked him to stop and he gave me two more whacks in reply, saying "You big kidder, you're always joking around." and continued his behavior until he left for another job.

Not to say what you should do, but saying: that is pretty disrespectful and you should have stood your ground, if you can't deal with a simple situation like this you won't learn how to deal with more difficult and subtler ones.

Verbal communication can be much more insidious and harmful, getting rid of physical touch will not mitigate harassment on the workplace, just cripple good old human behaviour and move the bad parts somewhere else.

Looks great. It certainly has become much easier to build such apps on modern Android :)

For something a bit more old school, I’d like to insert a shameless plug here that we open sourced something similar several years ago. It’s focused on the enterprise side, so setting it up is unfortunately quite a bit more involved. Screen rendering is obviously far less advanced as well, though still decent enough. It’s compatible with (almost) all Android versions since 2.3 which has its own fun challenges!

Anyway, great project with a modern take!

There's a simpler, shallower issue too: 'you' in headlines is a linkbait trope, so headline writers drop it in wherever they can. This one managed it twice. Presumably we're all wired to respond to "hey you!"

Since clickbait is against the site guidelines, we replace such titles with neutral ones. Usually we do that by copying a representative phrase from the article itself. But that was surprisingly hard to do this time.
I'll probably get some flack for this, but I'd like to put in a plug for autotools (if you don't need to target Windows).

Autotools has really come a long way since the bad old days back in the early 2000s. It's got some crusty corner cases, but I like it more and more as I use it.

With CMake, everything seems like it's easy to bury yourself in custom macros. And before you know it, you have a build system that's complex, hard to debug, and impossible to re-target. Scons is similar (although at least you can step through the code in Python).

I'd encourage anybody to try it out. At least, if your codebase is C or C++ and you don't need to target Windows.
> Amazing soundtrack ? I think it's entirely forgettable

Well to me the very point of a good sound track is immersion and is something to not standout. That is why Ben Prunty's FTL Sound Track was so good. The fact that the music builds up after you place your three mechs was brilliant.

Now ambient music might not be your thing but the games music was skillfully made and isn't some generic tomb of sounds. It was music for a turn based generated puzzles.

Now if this was an album for radio sure forgettable would be horrible comment. For this it is almost a compliment. Most games I just mute the music because it just gets in the way.
