> The standard “luxury” high-rise studio is 500 square feet. A one bedroom is maybe 700-900. Is that really unreasonable?

first, just finding high rise studios built in the last two decades is really rough. Like I can't find any in silicon valley that aren't giant "lofts" that approach 1000sqft. Hell, the smallest studio I can find looking around now is the place I lived in redwood city; it was shit, built in the '60s, with a giant single pane window facing a major street near an intersection, so you could listen to all the people who have managed to disable the noise dampening capabilities of their vehicles. 600sqft. And it felt huge. I mean, not that I mind the extra space, but I totally would have given up a couple hundred square feet just for some decent noise insulation.

But... as to the actual question? if you made it proportionally cheaper? I'd totally buy or rent a 300sqft space with a shower and bathroom, if it were priced proportionally. Ideally, you setup the shower and commode in the same enclosure, japanese style, and then have the sink in the apartment.

The problem right now is that usually if you want to pay for less than 600sqft of space, you end up sharing some wreak of a single family home with five other people. or you live in a smaller studio built before double pane windows, with no thought given to isolating you from your neighbors.

I kinda like having public places; I'm a member of a few clubs, including 'the hacker dojo' in mountain view, and I do move some of my life there. I enjoy interacting with other people, but I need some private space, even if it's a small private space. I've lived in shared houses, and with the right people, it's okay, but it's really nice to have your own adytum to withdraw into, where you don't have to see or hear anyone.

>Most “luxury” multi family buildings use that word because the historical norm is that apartments only exist to cheaply house the poor. It just means they’re comparable in quality to suburban middle class houses (or are pretending to be).

I don't think that's true in silicon valley; most single family homes around here were built to working class standards in the '60s and '70s and are all around pretty terrible. For someone as soft as I am, they'd be intolerable if the climate was not such that you could sleep in a tent, and they are intolerable if you live in the flight path of the local airport or otherwise have significant noise outside. (I'm in a somewhat more modern place right now, on the approach to SJC, with triple pane windows. It's super loud if you open the windows, but if you button up, it's nice and quiet.)

Yup, and for good reason. It means your site won’t be down at the same time two days in a row.
I'm not sure its fair to argue that universal healthcare is a human right despite the fact it makes economic sense.

Humanity survived just fine without real healthcare and healthcare is not essential to a fair balance of power b/t the government and its citizenry.

Universal healthcare needs to be argued on the economics of the issue because that is the only practical way to make it sustainable. The "feel good" stuff about it being a human right will fail when stress is applied to America and stress is coming. The US, frankly, has peaked and it is all downhill from here.
De-throning the List
Are you genuinely asking a question you would like to know the truthful answer to, or are you just interested in confirming the strong preexisting bias on display in each of your comments on this story ?

You asked about the "average employee" having access to user data, and the answer is unequivocally "no", with both technical and disciplinary safeguards.

There are only a few roles (moderation) who can access the relevant tools, and while engineers may technically have programmatic access (how would you expect things to work if nobody did ?), this is thoroughly logged and you'd better have an ironclad justification not to get fired on the spot.
What behavior exactly are you referring to? Was he an asshole to his sister or cheated on his wife or something?

So maybe Facebook was careless with user data, hardly something to judge a person on. If Zuckerberg is bad, everyone at Facebook is bad. Everyone who invests in Facebook stock is also bad. Will you go that far?

People need to stop believing their data is precious and that having it used without limit is something approaching the equivalence of rape.
And UI has been unusable on Google Books forever!
It's up to those companies if they want to go that far and sign on with GPP then, which seems fine to me. I'm not a fan of these brutal tactics on NV's part, but I can't say I have strong feelings on it. It's not illegal so it's either worth it to the vendors or it's not sufficient enough to be.

Disclaimer: I'm not really partial to any of these companies (you can hardly state anything without some fan of either coming after you). I started with a Commodore, then mostly Matrox & S3 graphics from '89 till the 3dfx Voodoo 4MB ('95), used Nvidia from 00-07 and AMD from 09-17, now I'm back on NV and kind of regretting it. Mostly because of driver issues, after a good long pretty much problem free stint on my last Radeon that lasted me a whopping 8 years. I've purchased dozens of NV cards, by the most from any vendor that I've used.

If anything, my favorite is 3dfx since seeing GLQuake in 1995 on a Voodoo card is an experience that simply can't be duplicated. Everything is a letdown and iterative since then. I'm thankful I could experience that at the time when it was a meaningful improvement. Zeus knows gameplay hasn't improved much since the 90s. But I certainly miss my nice 8 year stint of updating to each WHQL release without major issues and have zero reservations about going back to AMD.

To be fair, if you want to annoy visitors to your site and make them hate you, you should probably choose to outsource that functionality to Intercom. Annoying your visitors may be dumb, but rolling your own chat widget would be both dumb and time consuming.
I am no fan of Facebook. Even though I have an account I barely use it.

But, Facebook sells ads. So, it is not surprising that they want to show off their "influence". I am sure similar language can be found even on cosmetic, electronic etc product "wins".

The only issue here is Facebook trying to hide the page. And, that is the worst thing they can do in the given climate.
I never said that was their intent, just that it's an important function (often despite the intent of the advertiser).

I did a few searches for embedded development boards, and now I got lots of ads for alternative boards. I don't pretend that this information is in my face altruistically or entirely truthfully, but it does give me some useful information, probably paid out of the pockets of some people who take the advertisements at face value.

It's not the most efficient mechanism I could imagine for disseminating truthful information, but if you're not naive, it's a useful channel.

"Without permission" is the crucial part. Of course, you have to give the app the permission to do it when you install it, otherwise it will refuse to run. That is why the Android permissions model is fundamentally broken.
Super cool weekend project! This is a great example of an MVP. The design and functionality are all attractive, intuitive and consistent, but you kept the scope very narrow and didn't get distracted by different filter methods, search, etc.

Nicely done!
It allows you to use the same tools to render the user interface on both the server and the client. For example: write a UI using React components, render a static version on the server, and use those same React components running in the browser to render an SPA using the statically-rendered template as a seed.

The options if you are not using javascript on the server are less appealing - calling out to a JS interpreter to do your templating, or building duplicate templates for
server and client side, or trying to sprinkle interactive client magic on the page after it’s been loaded.

They’re all possible, but they are more complex than “one set of templates rendered everywhere” - what people were calling “isomorphic” I suppose, though it’s a silly term.

Have I clarified? You seem unusually upset about what I thought was a relatively minor aspect of my initial post.
Seriously, I don’t have much respect, if any, for those working for Facebook...unless they’re working on and can implement drastic changes in how privacy, tracking and profiling are handled for the betterment of humankind. But Facebook being an advertising company that thrives on such details, I doubt if employees would have much say on these aspects or can do anything.

There ought to be a #quitfacebook topic to get many employees to quit. But I don’t believe that would get much traction due to the attractiveness of compensation/benefits and probably some challenging work. If someone working at Facebook believes that things will get better, I’d say they’re just deluding themselves. It cannot happen with the current management.

P.S.: Since this post is about Facebook, I’m not going to talk about other companies.

No, I'm interested in knowing the truthful answer. It's just that I've received plenty of seemingly truthful responses (both here and elsewhere, e.g. [1]) that seem quite consistent with the notion that an average-employee(-turned-malicious) would be capable of accessing user data, punishments and all notwithstanding.

> You asked about the "average employee" having access to user data, and the answer is unequivocally "no", with both technical and disciplinary safeguards.

(a) How do you know, and (b) so what is your explanation of stories like [1]? They're just hoaxes?

> and while engineers may technically have programmatic access (how would you expect things to work if nobody did ?)

Again you are wording this in quite a vague, lawyer-y manner, which again raises my eyebrows. "May" as in "might", or as in "do"? And "engineers" as in what fraction of them? There is a lot of wiggle room between "nobody" and "all engineers". It's quite strange that I can't get a straightforward, crystal-clear denial to a non-weasel-worded claim from you who seem to be confidently contesting what I'm saying. Please don't keep muddying the waters.

TIL (thanks for the correction!) I guess they do this to break reference loops. The difference I guess is that it only applies to UObject derived things, which are higher level objects, rather than across your entire codebase.

> The price increases are fueled by market uncertainty and the elimination of key federal payments to insurers.

That price increase was engineered by the GOP by cutting the payments from the budget followed by the Trump Administration's "finding" that they had no authority to spend the money.

I genuinely hope your posts are just virtue signaling created by a desire to appear as one of the faithful.
But with auto insurance, if you're a bad driver, or even a driver with perceived higher risk (teen, unmarried, driving a little red sports car) your rates will be quite a bit higher. If you're a low risk driver, your rates are low. With ACA, if you are low risk (young and healthy) you are paying more than you would have otherwise.
You know what makes me think you're a bot? I literally laid out the case as to why arguing this point through the lens of disciplined human beings who we have no better alternative than to blindly trust actually helps build a map toward the attack surface instead of mitigating the area of the surface in the first place. And you replied to me with copied and pasted points you've made else where in this very thread. You've just eliminated all of the things bad actors could have had to blindly guess at in ignorance.

Its like you come along and tell a crowd that automobiles are complex enough to be indistinguishable from magic.

Then I take apart an internal combustion engine in front of this crowd. And as I do so, I explain to you, and everyone else, the chemical, physical, thermodynamic, magnetic, and electrical principles that allow this incredibly complex system of individual components to work in concert with each other, using each piece as the appropriate visual aid, delivering every single concept with relatable analogies and stories.

And then after I've finished, you say "To be fair, automobiles are complex machines indistinguishable from magic."
"KW: Mark, can you give us a sense of the timing and cost for this? Like, the audits that you're talking about. Is there any sense of how quickly you could do it and what kind of cost it would be to the company?

I think it depends on what we find. But we're going to be investigating and reviewing tens of thousands of apps from before 2014, and assuming that there's some suspicious activity we're probably going to be doing a number of formal audits, so I think this is going to be pretty expensive. You know, the conversations we have been having internally on this is, "Are there enough people who are trained auditors in the world to do the number of audits that we're going to need quickly?" But I think this is going to cost many millions of dollars and take a number of months and hopefully not longer than that in order to get this fully complete."

It would be nice if there was an escrow platform that would pay the applicants for their time if the company failed to give a response in an agreed upon time span.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Im impressed by what you've done with just regex for the filtering. Which makes it possible to curate a dataset of wishes to do some unsupervised clustering and fitering.

Filtering could benefit from knowing what other syntax ( phrases ) would map to wishes, broadening the coverage.

> Good cinema is good cinema no matter the release medium.

So should computer games be allowed? Books?

If it can't be viewed in a cinema, I'm not sure how you can think it must be allowed to be called cinema.

And no cheating, a limited release is cheating, let's not be children and pretend it's not.

I see nothing wrong with their logic. Going to the cinema is a experience, I can't see how you can argue it's not?

If Netfix is not part of that experience (Which it definitely isn't) I can't see how artists who see value in the cinema experience are deplorable?

Come on, we are using tech to cut out our friends through Facebook etc as it is, do you really think it's deplorable to lightly fight people sitting at home watching TV rather than joining friends in a experience out of the house?
Exactly, the security in legacy systems is non-existent. I've been pretty pleased moving systems to the nerves-project [1] (which like GoKrazy has an A/B root file-system) to replace deprecated and ancient firmware systems. One of those setups required a Windows XP machine to flash the particular MCU that's obsolete now, a huge pain. It was almost impossible to update / patch.

Nerves is based on a Buildroot core but most of the system is built with Elixir and BEAM/OTP. It's fantastic having a high level language built for robustness and reasonable security. Still, I have dreams of porting BEAM to Redox OS one day [2] and replacing the C userland-bits with Rust-bits. Especially if you could represent the micro-kernel services as actors. That would be amazing!

> Google is not your average company. It takes security extremely seriously

While this is certainly true, you've admitted elsewhere not knowing anything specifically about either Google or Facebook's security process, so how can you compare them ? You seem to just "know" Facebook doesn't take security seriously (which is of course a ludicrous thing to say)
The unfortunate reality is that there is a complete cultural disconnect where many people genuinely cannot fathom that guns have some legitimate purposes and have in their minds that a near total gun ban is a reasonable idea. Then you have the less extreme group that wants to ban all guns and gun accessories that aren't purely utilitarian. These tend to be the same kinds of folks that support bans on fireworks. The anti-gun side are far too eager to hold up extreme examples like Australia, Japan, and the UK as their ideal, rather than more moderate countries like Germany or New Zealand. There is no evidence to support that the highly restrictive gun control policies of the former countries make them any more safe than the moderately restrictive policies of the latter countries.
Massive Data Analysis Tutorials with Python
I don't see why it's a different definition, though. What's he's saying is that it's very easy to break Go's bounds checking with race conditions, and produce memory corruption. This isn't true of languages traditionally considered as memory safe - e.g. Java or Python.
The difference is going to be what type of objects generate garbage. In Unity, everything you instantiate has the potential to make garbage (because C#), but for UE, it’s mostly top level objects which don’t have a lot of churn.
There isn't really that much overhead, especially if you keep the GDPR in mind from the beginning. The big costs happen at older and larger companies that had very lax procedures before.

>the new keyboard just feels worse and harder to use

I agree with this. The problem I'd want them to solve with the keyboard is better tactical feedback and no dust/water getting inside -- not "smaller height", which they seem to have focused on.

>The Touch Bar is useless garbage

I'd settle for either a physical Escape key in the same position as it was + touch bar, or for a wholly physical set of keys with changeable display (like the Optimus keyboard).

>and all my worries about dongleopolis becoming my life have become true. Just yesterday I had to find adapters for a thumb drive and an HDMI cable -- which was absolutely infuriating

The small USB+HDMI+USB-C adapter would cater to all of those, and is pretty much required for any MBP USB-C user:

https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digita...

Or you could go my route, and buy USB-C to X cables for HDMI, lighting, USB micro-B etc. No adapters required then -- you, just replace the existing cables on your peripherals with all USB-C ones (that would be ~$100, but for a $2k laptop, that's not much additional cost).

Yes, actors in BEAM can modify files and there's a small bit of local state which can be set without messages (the process dictionary). However, much like Haskell you'd still need some point where real side effects could occur. It'd be possible to do all file actions via specific actors using messages which could then be modified to support "time-travel".
