I have lived in the Bay Area for 6+ years. Could have bought a house, but the prices seemed crazy in 2014 and look a lot more crazier now. And the prices keep on creeping up higher!

All my friends have bought houses. Some of them have bought houses worth 2.4M in Cupertino. Most of them are Indians on H1B visa and not Green Card in sight!

Are Bay Area prices sustainable? Am I being unnecessarily paranoid?

So that depends on how you define "HIPAA compliant". If you're thinking about sending PHI via email - Don't. End of story.

HIPAA stipulates that you must both transmit and store PHI in an encrypted fashion. If you force your emails to be sent via TLS (to consumers) it is very likely a large percentage of your emails will never send (yes, gmail supports TLS but other major providers done). You also cannot assure that the email is stored in an encrypted fashion upon receipt. In fact you can safely bet on it NOT being encrypted a fair amount of the time upon receipt because that takes a lot of work to do truly end-to-end encryption (one of many reasons why HIPAA is such a PITA).

So... How do you send emails in the world of health? You don't tell them anything other than they need to visit your site to read the message. You'll find many "secure email" providers and software (or build it yourself. The emails you send via whatever 3rd party qualify for the conduit exception because said 3rd party doesn't have access to the PHI.

None of the major providers like AWS SES, Sendgrid or Sparkpost will offer BAA's because of the previously mentioned reasons. You can still use them, just don't email PHI. Ever.

Now there is one major transnational email provider that I know of, that will sign BAA's. (Their name rhymes with "run" but I'm not going further because they are full of sh#t). Even with the BAA signed, if you read the fine print it still says you can't send PHI via their service. So its completely pointless.

I think it would be pretty rare for Australian POS machines to handle credit card details. Almost everywhere I only see these systems using a separate terminal with its own network connection to handle the card transaction. Usually there is integration (the POS system tells the terminal the price and to prompt for a card) but I don't think the card data ever touches the POS terminal itself (unlike the way they seem to work in the US).

This is a pretty good system, because the terminals are able to be updated really easily. A lot of cafes and stuff also use iPad POS software (one called 'Vend' is really popular here) and it doesn't have to be certified. This is part of the reason that it took hardly any time for almost everywhere to support contactless six or seven years ago. For example at Myer the POS systems look 15 years old but the attached card terminals are usually only a year or so old.

> The issue is that the services have to be funded somehow. If they're funded through data mining, you lose your privacy. So if you want privacy, some other funding source is necessary but not sufficient.

That, and there has to be a legal or technical way to prevent them from datamining you anyway. Because seriously, almost no company is going to voluntarily leave money on the table. Why drop old profit source for the new one, when you can have both?

> The answer is for it not to be on their server at all. Have it be on your server. Operating a server should be as simple as operating any other home appliance.

That's an important part of the solution, I believe. Personally, what I'd love to see is the move towards making service providers stop trying to own data. The way SaaS currently works is: I send my data to the service for processing, they basically own it, and I'm lucky if I can even get the data back out and untangled from the service. The way this should be working is that I own and control the data, and I rent their code to be run on it.

Come to think of it, that's how desktop software works, and that's why the abstraction of a file - the one the cloud is desperately trying to kill - is so awesome.

That may be perfectly consistent with my point - VC's typically provide multiple large rounds of financing, something that formerly would have required going to the public markets, and this can delay IPO's until companies are heavyweights and most of the big gains are in the bag.

Don't be sure about something in the tech on such a long time frame. Just to put things into context. Andoird is less than 10 years old and already close to windows market share territory. Facebook is only 14 years old.

There are hundreds of millions of lines of ReactJS in production today and hundreds of millions more coming. If you think 20 years from now all that is going to be re-written I've got a bridge to sell you.

JQuery is 11 years old now. ReactOS is a goal and nothing more. Nobody is using it right now because it's barely usable outside of a VM, and even then it's software compatibility is smaller than WINE, let alone Windows.

ReactOS is a cool project, but your comments are bordering on delusional.
I might want it now, but if that was the condition when I was a kid, I'd probably not be computer-proficient right now. In my childhood, unless you came from a rich and computer-interested family, everything you used was a combination of free software and pirated software.

I'm all for getting rid of all advertising in any (humanitarian) way possible, but that's the one thing that still bugs me - how to ensure kids with no disposable income will be able to work with the software used by pros?
If it is a nighttime flight: If you like to drink, you can bring a bunch of the small 1.5 OZ liquor bottles in your liquid baggy (which you can buy at liquor stores and bring thru security and are much cheaper than buying drinks at the airport/on the plane). I then watch in-flight entertainment on the plane while drinking which makes time fly pretty fast and I usually end up sleeping half the time.

Also, I recently learned about and used melatonin for sleep aid and found it very effective at getting me to sleep when I am not tired. I plan on bringing some for some flights in the near future to help me sleep through them.

If it is a daytime flight: I just watch movies, read books, and play games. Make sure to plan out battery requirements for your devices.

Note, the few work related flights I have done I was not expected to program or anything during that time I was commuting so I just tried to make it as painless as possible using the processes previously mentioned which I do for all personal flights.
I am not going to dispute your claims, MacOS does not run on non-Apple hardware.

What I am saying is that many people that would have been Linux users are now MacOS users. And one of those people is me.

I was a hardcore Ubuntu / Debian fan, but then got a MacBook Pro from the company I worked for in 2014. After moaning about it for a while, I'm now a convert. Initially it was because of the hardware, as I love Retina displays for example.

My younger self wouldn't believe what I'm about to say, but things break a lot on the Linux desktop and I don't have the patience for that kind of crap anymore. Not sure how it is nowadays, but back when I was using it, the presence of an Nvidia graphics card meant any upgrade could break your setup. Which isn't acceptable given Nvidia's popularity.

Many times it isn't Linux's fault of course. Surely you can't blame Linux for Skype not working, but the general availability and quality of apps is a big problem. Also I agree that you can't expect Linux to work flawlessly on all laptops and some research is needed for a good experience. Thinkpads are in general good and some Dell models too. But this information is scattered all over the place and translates in even more time lost.

Go to any conference and you'll see a majority of people with MacBooks.
Those people could have been Linux users instead. They were Linux users only a few years back.

I'm not saying that I'll never use Linux anymore. I keep using it on the server-side and I might be back to a Linux laptop someday, due to Apple's newfound hostility to power users.

But just an FYI, the freedom argument doesn't really win me over. If all other things are equal, I prefer the open source solution of course, but I've got work to do, bills to pay, projects to finish and a family to take care of, so until Linux improves to the point where I can do those things without wasting time, I'll stay on MacOS.
Lots of products have similar names, that doesn't make ReactJS a poor choice. One is a frontend framework and one is an operating system. The naming isn't the reason he wasn't aware of ReactOS... the fact that it's a very small community is why he wasn't aware of it.
When I started my plotting app, Veusz, https://veusz.github.io/, I expected I would mostly be using a command line to drive it. As I improved the GUI, however I found I was very rarely using the command line. GUIs can be very good for exploratory investigation and plot manipulation. Veusz is scriptable, so you get the best of both worlds.

One of the problems with programming languages that begin with the letter "p" is that they can be used to create viruses.
There is a good connection between probability and Venn diagrams: Both are about area. Probability is about area where the area of everything under consideration is 1. So, there is a set of trials. It has area 1. Each subset of the set of trials is an event and has an area, its probability. Then we can move on to random variables, distributions of random variables, independence of events and random variables, the event that a random variable has value <= some real number x, etc.

In pure math, since H. Lebesgue in about 1900, the usual good theory of area is Lebesgue's measure theory. The ordinary ideas of area we learned in grade school, plane geometry, and calculus are all special cases. But Lebesgue's theory of area handles some bizarre, pathological, extreme cases. And we can show that there can be no really perfect theory of area -- e.g., there have to be some bizarre subsets of the real line to which no nice theory of area can assign a length. But, once we have the Lebesgue theory, the usual way to show that there is a subset of the real line without an area uses the axiom of choice.

Well, in 1933, A. Kolmogorov wrote a paper showing how Lebesgue's theory of area would make a solid foundation for probability, and that approach is the standard one for advanced work in probability, statistics, and stochastic processes.
Sure, AEB is a great thing. But it's odd to see "since the safety belt". Air bags have saved more lives than safety belts, haven't they?

Also, I can imagine additional advantages of AEB. If someone's tailgating, just hit your brakes enough that their AEB will trigger.
Yes, if it installs correctly* on bare metal then one can boot to an explorer-like shell in a matter of seconds without going through a Linux desktop.

But I can see an obvious use case - testing. Customer reports an error but you can't reproduce it on your company's Windows development machines. I was able to reproduce a couple of bugs that way with wine and I imagine it could be handy running under ReactOS.

The environment used as an example in the article is RStudio which by your definition of GUI would be a GUI (i.e. if MySQL Workbench is a GUI, so is RStudio). I think you and the author aren't in disagreement per se, you're just using the term differently -- when he talks about a non-GUI, he means a tool which executes code that you type into it, and you mean a terminal.

Nearly every first level reply on this post are in response to the title only (price of free is too high).

But if you read the actual article, that was only the intro/lead-in. The main point of the article is near the end:

> I think something more profound is going on here. We are getting a first taste of how difficult it is for a world in which humans and computers are intrinsically linked. Tristian’s punch line “The problem with Facebook is Facebook” hints at this. Is the problem the leadership of Facebook, the people of Facebook, the users of Facebook, the software of Facebook, the algorithms of Facebook, what people do with the data from Facebook, or something else. Just try to pull those apart and make sense of it.

> ... the big transitions are hard to see when you are in them but easy to see with the benefit of decades of hindsight. This might be that moment of transition, where there is no going back to what was before.

I own and am not sure. Could have bought in San Francisco in 2001 and decided to buy on the peninsula instead. Cupertino still had starter homes < 500,000 at that time but I didn't want to live there, either. For a while there it looked like a mistake to not live in the city then the market turned insane and the peninsula housing market is almost as hot as the city. Part of me wants to take the profit and run but to where?
I have too, and said "sorry" when they asked me how to deal with a 30k+ lines excel file, as my only answer to them was "learn to program", and that didn't feel like a very helpful thing to say (I still did say it, in the least condescending way I could manage)

That's not accurate. They can double-spend, which can have equally bad effects, but without a way to forge transaction signatures (which is only possible with a broken cryptohash function), they can't just drain accounts.
Seriously wtf... I'll honestly say that I fell for this click bait. If it said something along the lines of "blah blah... accelerometer" I would've checked it out, too, AND actually read it. But because of the shit click bait, I'm not even going to bother.
Why would a thermometer need to connect to the Internet in the first place? It is absolutely unnecessary. The software could be installed on a server in a local network or even inside the thermometer itself.

At a commercial scale having people go to each one is no more viable than Google using web managed network switches would be, or than using individual residential thermostats in a large office building. It might be possible, but it would be slow and error prone.

Installing an in house server would be no better, but for different reasons of getting IT involved either for the server or for local software on a PC (locked down possibly and unable to install or run unrecognized apps). "Hi, this is Bob in maintenance, we'd like to install some software that will scan the network for" "NO." "But the fish!" "NO."

For that matter had these been properly segregated on an "IoT" network neither of those would have worked well anyway. If you're handling financial data like that in a regulated environment, nothing from the IoT network should be able to reach to protected systems. There's a case for the protected network to be able to reach to IoT, but there are also reasons to not allow it.

Frankly, having devices like that able to reach out to a cloud management system makes a lot of sense for both the client and vendor (subscriptions, lock-in, etc). The problem is allowing them on a supposedly secure network.

Edit: added "residential thermostats" because it seems more appropriate here than my initial example
> I cannot tell why the spokesmen I have cited want the developments I forecast to become true. Some of them have told me that they work on them for the morally bankrupt reason that "If we don't do it, someone else will." They fear that evil people will develop superintelligent machines and use them to oppress mankind, and that the only defense against these enemy machines will be superintelligent machines controlled by us, that is, by well-intentioned people. Others reveal that they have abdicated their autonomy by appealing to the "principle" of technological inevitability. But, finally, all I can say with assurance is that these people are not stupid. All the rest is mystery.

The frustrating part is that there is no "pay what they get from advertisers" price point. Facebook gets $5 per user per year last time I checked. But if FB were a paid service, it would probably be like $10/mo... And I wouldn't pay that much for it.

Not in the case of Incentive Stock Options. They are taken into account with AMT, but you do not pay regular income tax at the time of exercise. If you have ISOs, selling within a year is subject to regular income tax, but if you exercise and hold the shares for more than a year, you only pay cap gains tax. And if they have a low strike price relative to current value, the difference can be quite significant. I know this because I'm dealing with precisely this situation right now and trying to decide my best move. I'll probably hedge my bets and do some of each.

The notification area API sucks because of considerations made 20 years ago. The icons aren’t windows, the application just sends bitmaps to show and is manually notified if you hover over or click on an icon.

Explorer can’t tell if the app connected to an icon crashed without polling or other tricks which Microsoft probably wants to avoid. But it can tell if you move the mouse over them and it can’t send the messages to the application.

Also the notification area with a million icons is bad UI that I can imagine Microsoft not wanting to invest in. They tried to discourage its use by hiding most of the icons all the time.
