Ok, but what about your kids? Are they going to live with you forever? Are they going to be able to afford $2m homes? I've never met so many 30 year olds who live with their parents as I did when I lived in South Bay.

You can't wave the problem away with "eh, transplants".

I understood that a team at google developed k8s but google doesn't actually run it for their "google-scale" workloads. Am I misinformed?

Not the way the law is written.

Your website would still be potentially liable. (CRIMINALLY. The serious kind of liability. Not just the CIVIL kind of liability.) At least, that's what lawyers have advised me with respect to web forum plans.

That said, I'm a chicken-sh*t when it comes to business. As a general rule, anything that scares attorneys, I stay away from.
Which then has the problem of how do users find them (if by DNS, you can block the DNS record).
> If your existing setup was pretty tiny, this may have been a worthwhile project.

What existing setup? I wrote and deployed this application to k8s in the span of like 4 days. If I was using "real DNS, real haproxy, real nginx" I'd probably still be trying to work out how to do zero downtime rolling deployments, and then how to clone the whole thing so I could have a separate production environment.

But they're disclosing the call is recorded, for all parties. Maybe you can slot in a "likewise" or "ditto" into it.
Facebook’s Privacy Changes Leave Developers Steaming
No - they can't escape the literal meaning of the words. "May I use your restroom?" "Yes, you may use the restroom." Meaning is clear. "This call may be recorded." I'm sorry, that's consent. If they want to argue that their intent is otherwise once I produce my recording that's up to them, but by the literal meaning of their words in the English language they have definitely granted consent.

And as a side note, all of my recordings include me stating on the call that I am also recording. They don't hear me because it's a machine, but they used a machine to get my consent and assume I gave it because I remain on the line, but they also remain on the line after stating it's being recorded. They really have no leg to stand on if they want to fight me on it.
That premise has a very mixed bag of results historically. It works on some regimes, and fails entirely on others.

Cuba defied an aggressive embargo by the US for ~50 years, which is partially responsible for Cubans typically having present incomes of about $20 per month. [1] By contrast, Haiti, which is one of the poorest nations on earth, has a higher median income than Cuba. The Castro brothers were simply unmoved by the extreme financial consequences (and the people of Cuba also did not topple them across more than half a century).

Similarly it didn't work against North Korea across 60 years. Even while the North watched South Korea develop and grow into one of the 20 or so richest nations.

It also didn't work very well against the USSR. The West heavily limited its trade and economic cooperation with the USSR across the entire post WW2 era until their collapse. The West rapidly developed advanced technological economies, the USSR did not, their people suffered extraordinary poverty and backwardness. The regimes in Moscow didn't care. What finally brought down the USSR, was the collapse of the price of oil brought on by a strong dollar shock in the late 1980s (by contrast they were doing far better economically in the 1970s and early 1980s as the price of oil was very high).

For me there is a not a technical fix for the problem. The fact that my feed fills up with ads for something I Googled immediately prior to alt+tabbing to FB is creepy and annoying, but it's not the real problem. The real problem is that I know they have the data (and they still will after I "clear" it) and it can be used for a lot more than advertising. I don't trust them. That's the problem.

You lookup people from Tinder on Facebook? For what?

I would say its not a sanity test; you just simply a creep.
I remember when MS brought out Fox. I was in Toledo at Fox's annual dev's conference (they were based in Toledo). I remember making a bet between a bunch of us [Fox dev's) how long it would take for MS to drop FP. I lost. Was off by a few years.

But I do remember MS pushing Access (which was and probably still is utter trash, compared to FP). And then VB6. I hate VB. I have nothing against the language itself. I'm just still bitter at MS replacing FP with VB.

I am involved in a project that is replacing FP with Python. Now Python I like a lot.
I always wonder with these things why the big jump in price for memory - what's the bom difference? Is the 32gb just the 64gb one with half the memory crippled?

It's £5 for the cheapest possible 32gb sdcard, about £12 retail for one I'd expect to work well. So presumably the memory is quite a small part of the cost difference -- there seems so much other tech in there, a quarter of the price can't be just memory.

School me oh gurus; is this just price differentiation?

It is an obligation to take care of oneself, to be self sufficient. What you say is slandering this guy's work.

he's not living at home with his parents paying his rent, he's not living on welfare. He's making his way in the world on his own. "No real obligations"?
Spot on. In marketing, it's called "teasing". Definitely generates more hype and makes them look like heroes...

Rochester, NY also used to have an abandoned subway. The tunnel was much shorter and it was actually used. It used to be wide open and easy to explore. A few years ago they closed it up and filled in part of it.
Don't get me wrong, I think positional tracking is very significant, too—but that doesn't mean this "isn't VR". You can still move around fluidly in 3D space, it's just that what triggers that motion won't be the motion of your head—and that is an important fact, but being able to navigate 3D worlds mean it isn't just a 360 degree viewer. I've enjoyed 'rails'-based games and others where you navigate through gaze (or clicking if you have a controller I imagine) on the GearVR. And even if you're stationary (e.g. when sitting in the living room of Netflix app), exploring a real-time rendered 3D space by head rotations feels very different from viewing 360 video, which is a really poor experience IMO (for one thing, no depth perception).

I've used devices with positional tracking, and it's on another level for sure; but since I don't have a PC that could support one of the nicer headsets atm, it would mean shelling out at least ~$1400 to do VR.

So if this is more comfortable, has integrated audio, a higher-res screen, comes with a controller, and I don't have to set it up with my phone to use each time—it's definitely got me thinking about it...

Edit: also, if anyone knows: the main thing I wonder about this is whether it overheats super quickly like the GearVR. That's the worst part of the cellphone experience IMO—most games will cause overheating within ~5min.

Edit2: the Reddit faq[0] claims the heating issue is resolved, "overheating is no longer a problem (on Gear VR, this is the #1 issue - because phone components are packed into 5mm, your VR play session will always come to an end with the message 'your phone has overheated, gotta stop playing VR until it cools down')"

In Pennsylvania there is a section of the old turnpike that was abandoned [1], including two tunnels, one of them over a mile long. I hiked it several years ago - it is open for public recreation and it is a great place to go biking (bring a headlight). Recommended if you are in the area.

I can agree with the resolution issue but the framerate issue I think is still a sticking point. You really lose the immersion at low framerates and things like motion sickness start to take over any fun you might have.
Sounds a lot like "guys, you should NEVER delete cookies or the world would crumble."
A complete repeal is politically impossible, but there are two changes that should be made. One, as mentioned above, is to restrict it to owner-occupied residences only. The other is to change the 2% annual increase limit from a limit on the amount of tax assessed to a limit on the amount due in a given year. If the assessed tax exceeds that limit, the locality would receive a lien for the difference, this lien becoming due only when the property is sold.

This accomplishes the original goal of the initiative — to keep fixed-income seniors in their homes — without starving localities of property tax money and disincentivizing them from allowing new housing to be built.

Politically, passing these changes would still be hellishly difficult, particularly the second one, which is not so easy to understand. One way of putting the problem is that Prop. 13 represents a massive transfer of wealth from future California residents to present ones. Of course, the future ones can't vote against it since they don't live here yet.
You really think a judge is going to buy this?
Exactly. While CPU designers c will certainly make sure they can run C code fast, it turns out that, for the last 40 years at least, the C model (sequential, procedural, mostly flat address space) is the most efficient to implement in hardware.
This is not useful. The great thing about domain fronting when e.g. Google semi-officially supported it is that it is a non-secret technique which leverages the unique status of a large-scale technical operation that the citizenry demands access to. It allows the citizenry of an oppressive state to engage in collective action via the machinery of global capitalism.

Google and Amazon should not only be supporting this practice, but celebrating it. Subverting an oppressive state is a moral good. Specifically cutting off anonymous, safe communication paths for those being oppressed is, to put it mildly, fucking evil.

My, perhaps unfair, impression of GDPR is that it has very little concrete and specific rules, and a whole lot of "you'll know when the court delivers the verdict".
Can the title be updated? In its current form it’s false outrage bait.
The GDPR isn't about concrete limits, but concrete permissions. A lot of people have been struggling to make sense of this, because it totally inverts how we currently think about personal data.

The collection, storage and processing of personal data is presumed to be unlawful by default, unless it is for a specific, explicit and legitimate purpose. These core principles are set out in Article 5 and they are well worth reading and reflecting on.

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/

Did the user give you explicit and informed consent for a specific use a specific piece of data? Is your use of data absolutely essential to fulfil your contractual obligations to that user? Are you required by law to collect and store that data? Is your use of data essential to preserve human life? If you can't confidently say yes to at least one of those questions, then you're probably in breach.

No way.

They don’t tell you the longevity of devices. From what I see, iPhones are cutting off the oxygen from android. My kids school is what use as a reference... literally 80/20 iPhone to non iPhone. The SE and used phones make it more attractive than throwaway androids that are un-upgradable.

Enterprises, same thing. I talk to a few companies/gov with an aggregate total of probably 200k phones. 95% iPhone.

Google is amazing at services. But the OEM bullshit, carrier concessions are hurting them. My guess is that they will make a Chrome phone to fix that. Google Photos alone is a killer app when they do that.

My partner is finishing their masters in China currently (native Chinese). The levels of cheating that go on within her course alone are mind boggling:

1. Girls asking their would-be boyfriends to complete their essays and attend modules.

2. Purchasing completed essays from Taobao.

3. Copy pasting others work from Baidu with only name alterations.

4. Paying exam setters for exam questions.

Of course this is anecdotal but she has often tried to explain the culture of "Getting. good result is more important than how you got it". Cheating and succeeding shows you're resourceful. Getting caught is the only shame. The pressure and competition drives people to cheat because if you don't, you're left behind by everyone else who is.
