Perhaps because someone enjoys it? It's a bit holier-than-thou to suggest that skiing is a noble way to spend your time and money (and life), while drinking alcohol is not.

And regardless, you've chosen to focus on one of the larger estimates. Six months at the 100-200g level is around 0.7% of life. You're certainly free to think I'm short-sighted by valuing a little drinking more than 0.7% of my life expectancy, but I'm also free to ignore you; it's my life, and I get to decide what makes me happy.
There are no studies because the only data set we have is the world we live in, where all the wealthy nations have some notion of copyright.

It seems obvious that IP provides some incentive to create, although how much is completely unknown. It also seems obvious that even in a world with no legal protection, people would still want to create, though again, how much is unknowable.
I know these guys, they are great people. The Questbotics robot has been tested and the concept in a way, hearkens back to the Logo / Turtle graphics days, except it is operating in the real world instead of on screen.
That can be really tough; I've had similar experiences and I'm sorry to see what you're going through. You are not the only one (there's an article above with the data!). I hope some of this helps; f some is way off base, ignore that part:

Most of all, have compassion for and care about yourself. It doesn't solve every problem, but it's the most important relationship you have by far. Without it, you'll always be lonely no matter who is around. With it, how others respond won't matter so much.

Have compassion for the other people too, especially those who don't respond. They have their own problems which have nothing to do with you, which, like everyone else's problems, might make them a*holes at times. The reasons they don't respond likely have nothing to do with you. Don't objectify them - don't make them characters in your narrative of your social life; they have their own narratives independently of everyone else.

Another reason to have compassion for them is that people in your situation tend to adopt a perspective where all the power is in the hands of others: They respond or they don't. It's not a healthy (or realistic) perspective; you have power too and they are flawed, vulnerable human beings too.

And more practically, instead of worrying about people who don't seem to respond, keep trying until you find some who do - it can be hard to motivate yourself but it's worth the effort. For everyone, there are plenty of both kinds and it's no shame if it doesn't work out with some - that's inevitable given the odds - or if the ones that will respond are hard to find. You don't need many successes to have a social life and you are worth the effort no matter how bad your experiences so far.

Finally, many people find themselves lonely at times in their life, and find they need only one really close relationship, a life partner. If you have yourself (see above) and a life partner, then the other relationships become much less significant. Maybe that's the real goal; it can take a lot of looking, but once you find the person you both have it made (with plenty of work!).

Good luck!
The web is contracting and consolidating. Whether that is good or bad is debatable. Its the natural course of capitalism to monopolize and we're seeing it on the web. How long before we see the first attempt to break one up? Would it even matter?
Bridges and stuff sometimes pay for themselves in increased economic activity, as do highways etc. Not sure about SF, but in Chicago, say, on top of the state fee for the license stickers (far more reasonable than California's, of course, but still) there is a city fee for a city sticker that has to be applied to all vehicles registered in the city.

Practically speaking, though, as nice as it would be to get rid of cars, pollution, etc., it's not happening unless you can offer something better to the public, and scooters aren't it. And scooters, at least how I am reading news about them right, aren't exactly paying for any externalities either.
I think by labeling themselves as a dating app on the side wouldn’t have garnered as many users if they had done so much earlier. They wanted to be the social networking platform for as long as they possibly can. Well, with the recent backlashes and incidents, they probably think they have just about reached the peak number of users. I say it’s a well thought out timing and execution.

Those affected will get jobs restocking supermarket shelves or as security guards during the night. If they can't find such jobs, they will make far more noise in their RV during normal sleeping hours than they would if they were sleeping, disturbing the surrounding neighborhood more.

Your lack of compassion on mental health issues and the way basic society has worked for thousands/millions of years are disturbing.

People make mistakes, society then punishes for a bit and forgets to forgive.

This is how it's always worked and a compassionate way to live.

The idea because people have the power not to forget they have a right to use that against you forever is soooo abusive.

C'mon! Can't we solve this problem with the Blockchain?
tl;dr - this is a rant. the operator pattern should stay a pattern. "framework" and "application" are meaningless these days. Stop trying to make things so easy a "monkey could do it".

No no no no no. The words "framework" and "application" are so meaningless now that even reading this post is draining.

CoreOS pioneered the Operator pattern, but I think building up that pattern into a framework to get people developing it away from the knowing the basics of k8s is such a mistake. The operator pattern falls out of the primitives that k8s offers (there's literally a concept called a controller) -- this makes it seem like another app platform. I think the level of abstraction isn't even right, this is like trying to enable people to write daemons without knowing anything about linux or signals or processes.

Then again, I also dislike tools like Helm because they do the same thing. Why is everyone so in a rush to make inevitably leaky abstractions to make everything so easy a monkey could do it? All you're doing is encouraging cookie cutter programmers to write cookie cutter poorly understood code that will break on someone inevitably.

All essential complexity introduced by features in the layer below an abstraction cannot be simplified, it can only be hidden or removed. It is OK for things to be hard, as long as they are simple (in the rich hickey easy vs simple analogy).
That's interesting. Thanks very much for the correction, and the link!
I'm pretty sure they've stated that they won't be showing friends to each other as "matches" though.
If your landlord gets a property tax cut, would they pass on the savings to you? No.

They are leasing you your place at market rate. The market rate is affected by supply / demand of rental units, not landlord costs. The only way they could pass the extra tax onto you is if you are not market rate and there is a law that allows them to do this, or if increasing property taxes on apartment buildings decreases the supply of rental units - an unlikely scenario.
Detroit's infrastructure was fine. Detroit's problem is suburbanization. The population of the Detroit metro area is up 1 million people since 1950 and the population of Detroit itself is down 1.2 million people since 1950. Most of the people and nearly all of the people with money left the city and moved to the surrounding suburbs.
But I believe that's the article's very point: the context and relative terms people often talk about C are incorrect. The amount of mutation delta between a C program and the corresponding assembly instructions is significant, but people continue to believe it is not, which results in all sorts of incorrect assumptions when reasoning about a C program (such as which line of code or statement executes "first").

Haskell, Go, et. al. are understood to have complex runtime machinery atop the x86 instruction set. It's an erroneous belief that C does not (and one that I've seen developers get bitten by repeatedly as they try to manage threaded C code).
It seems like x86 exists at a local maxima, and Itanium didn't go far enough away to find a different peak.
Yeah, but as far as I know, loading code into said interpreters in a way that bypasses their code review process is a grey area.
Anything beauty-related (makeup, hair styling, clothing, jewellery etc.) is "hacking" human perception of attractiveness.
This happened to my work machine too! The notebook is top of the line MacBook Pro 15, 2017. It fried at least four USB-C to ethernet adapters. It is not isolated accident, at least two other people on my team had the same problem. Our notebooks came from the same batch (MacBooks were issued at the same day).

> The promise of JITs outperforming AoT compiled code has never really materialized.

Well JITs do actually outperform AoT compiled code today. Java is faster than C in many workloads. Especially large scale server workloads with huge heaps.

Java can allocate/deallocate memory faster than C, and it can compact the heap in the process which improves locality.
Zenefits (YC 13) is hiring here in San Francisco, in Vancouver, and in our Bangalore office for a handful of eng, product & design roles. Open roles & good rundown of benefits/perks here: https://www.zenefits.com/careers/

I've been a Program Manager that works across the product & eng teams for the last couple of years at Zenefits and it's really exciting watching the team build and change, together with our business and new leadership. We're humming - designing & releasing brand new products (benefits partner tools, performance management tools, much more), introducing new tech/supporting the team as they adopt it (kafka, react) and intentionally shifting who we are - all the way from our board membership to release processes to which software we use for data analysis.

Ask away if you have questions for me - Kathleen at - or apply on our careers page!
And then you're back to the original argument: the appreciation of your neighbor's property isn't some kind of god-given right, no more than that of yours is.

Look, I don't want to destroy the value of the largest "asset"[0] most people will own. But... what's the alternative here? The incumbents just get to grow fat off riches that they absolutely lucked into and played minimal part in creating, while lower-income residents get forced out of their homes? We just give up on the bay area as a worthwhile economy, have all the tech companies pull out, and then home prices crash?

[0] People really really love to believe their primary residence is an asset/investment, because it cost them so much money to acquire it, that it just has to be. If they'd consider it just a cost of living, a liability even, we'd have such fewer financial issues in housing markets.

What's new in Singularity 2.5 and why it affects everyone using containers
Does anyone know what obligation the company has to provide the transcript?
I agree that this new construct makes the landscape even more complicated, but I disagree that k8s has reached the point of over-engineering. Most of the parts of k8s are still essentially complex to me -- they're what you'd need if you wanted to build a robust resource pool management kind of platform.

Ironically, the push to "simplify" the platform with various add-on tools is what is making it seem more complicated. Rather than just bucking up and telling everyone to read the documentation, and understand the concepts they need to be productive, everyone keeps building random, uncoordinated things to "help", and newcomers become confused.

For example, I don't know who this operator framework is aimed at -- it's not at application developers, but at k8s component creators who write cluster-level tools, but what cluster tool writer would want to write a tool without understanding k8s at it's core? Those are the table stakes -- if I understand k8s and already understand the operator pattern (which is really just a Controller + a CRD, two essential bits of k8s), why would I use this framework?

I think if they really wanted to help, they'd produce some good documentation or a cookbook and maintain an annex of the state of the art in how to create/implement operators. But that's boring, and has no notoriety in it.
tl;dr
The Sylabs team recently discovered an exploit vector to all container runtimes, that allows a malicious user to gain additional privileges within a container on hosts running kernels that do not support the PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS feature.

Singularity is not the only container platform affected; this vulnerability can be exploited using any container runtime on a vulnerable kernel.
Tesla blatantly duped thousands of people into buying their Beta "Enhanced Autopilot" features years before it was ready/publicly safe on the road. Anyone who got an AP2 in Q3'16 and Q1'17 knows this. Hopefully there will be another lawsuit for those who paid for their self-driving vaporware.
Opus, with its low delay and solid rate controls would seem to be the natural pair here. But I agree audio is likely not the real problem in this space.

The ones you get as a tech worker will do all 3. Cover for entire family, including pre-existing, and you can continue the cover after you quit/are fired.
Even the first few help. You have rich people taking up houses and apartments made for middle class (or possibly even working class), as only rich people can now afford to live in them. If there’s more housing stock, even “luxury” units, they can vacate the lower end units, making room for middle class.
The really awesome thing with rust is how easy it is to make library code which can be called from any language including C and C++ (in most situations) - just as easily as writing a library in C or C++. In some situations even easier than C++.

Thus I can easily see rust replacing C/C++ as the default language for writing 'high performance libraries' in, for use in Ruby/Python/etc. It's usually more similar to what higher level programmers are used to too. You get to use functional code for a start.

But also exactly as in Firefox - libraries / modules can be written in Rust, and then brought in to replace existing C++ code. And I'm sure the ergonomics of this process will improve too.

If a C++ project lead / manager can say, in all honesty:
"The x component needs to be re-written for whatever reason - either major refactoring for a desired feature, or performance, or to split out to use in another product. We can either do it in C++, or Rust, and Rust will garentee no new segfaults, we can trivially parellelise a lot of it for improved performance, etc. etc. with no major disadvantages..." then Rust will inevitably grow.

We literally cannot coordinate anything between the registry and registrar though. I agree with you that we (the registry) could have done a better job on our marketing website in making it clearer which registrars offer support for which phases, but beyond that? Not sure.
Google has tried to release a phone before and they fail hard. The phone stops getting updates. If you want an android device with updates you have to get a BlackBerry.

Android OS is horrible because it's always different. From release to release. From phone to phone. Everyone has their own little tidbit to add and makes it non uniform.
Not necessarily. I have worked for two companies now with unlimited vacation policies that pay out for two weeks when you leave regardless of what vacation you took.
Rather than abstaining from or attempting to reform an institution you find flawed, you exploit it for personal gain. If you ever come to find that exploits in your code are used for someone else's personal gain I hope you can be equally equanimous.
castle doctrine as I understand it means your home is your castle -- you have no duty to retreat from your own home, if someone has broken into your home, the odds of something going wrong and you ending up dead are high enough that those states have said you can defend yourself with violence in your own home, rather than getting shot in the back or stabbed -- where are you going to retreat to anyway? You're already home.

So, it seems like the logical extension into cyberspace would be that you can do anything you want to the attacker's computer while they are connected to your systems, but you can't pursue them once they've gone, the same as kinetic castle doctrine.
Good point about it getting better. A lot of the pain was from trying to do it before 1.8.
What makes you think that the languages which Rust displaces aren't also niche?

I used to write a lot of C++, every team I worked on always had a problem finding people who could write native code well, I'm pretty sure that hasn't changed in ~3 years or so. Why does something have to be wildly popular to be considered successful? I've found most of this industry is more about using the right tool for the job then trying to fit one language into every domain space.

That said I think there are a few places where you'll see Rust really succeed in the next 3-8 years:

1. Domains that have hard memory or performance constraints. Rust matches C/C++ for performance(and I say this as a hardcore C++ perf nut) but without the segfaults/corruption(unless you step into unsafe land).

2. Products that need to go to multiple platforms but can't afford a GC. Rust has by far the best cross-platform development story I've seen in a natively compiled language. I've personally build things that run on WASM/Win32/OSX/Android/Linux across a wide range of hardware and embedded in C#/Java/C++/C.

3. Places where safety/memory corruption is unacceptable. You just get less of these from Rust, full stop. Yes you can do it in C/C++ but you better be willing to have a QA org larger than your dev team.

Firefox is a perfect example of how these various concerns intersect. I used to be a serious C++ developer working on high performance, memory constrained platforms. In the past two years anything green field for me has been Rust based and I've been 100% satisfied. In both personal projects and some professional work Rust has never come up short.

Is it hard to write? Sure.

Do I spend less time debugging/tracking down mem corruption/dealing with poor ownership?

Hell yeah.
That's the pessimistic view.

The optimistic view is that they encourage you to do what's most healthy for you and don't track your vacation days.

As with any other benefit, don't abuse it.

One thing that I realized is that in the past whenever I've had to replace my power adapter for an Apple laptop, it's always been the small cord from the adapter to the laptop that gets damaged... which requires the entire power brick to be replaced (~$100). With the power brick + USB-C cable combo, the cord between the power brick and the laptop can be replaced for ~$25 from Apple while the power brick itself remains at the ~$100 price point. So now wear-and-tear damage, which mainly happens to the cord isn't such an expensive prospect to fix.

Just my 2¢...
I think most companies wouldn't even consider it a security bug.
