So rather than repeal laws so that people can build housing...

...we should pass more laws mandating that the housing we can't build should be built anyhow, apparently by magic?

> If Menlo Park wants to allow Facebook to build an office complex to support 2,000 more Facebook employees than it needs to create 2,000 more residential options for those employees.

And when you say Menlo Park "needs to create", you mean, they need to relax the zoning laws in the way SB827 would have mandated so that those houses can be built? Because otherwise, how is this meant to happen?
Meltdown: Why our systems fail and what we can do about it
I was following your argument until the parenthetical elitist remark about the tech community priding themselves "on being more fair and ethical than the rest of the world". Is this a truly held belief common in the tech community? Glad I don't subscribe myself to groupthink. The tech community seems to fill the news with sexual harassment and other unethical actions just as much as any other self-defined group.

i find it fascinating how bizarrely hostile to a company developing a new font some people are. it's just branding and identity, like logos, color schemes and design languages. not really a big deal. but holy smokes do people talk a lot of shit about fonts... for whatever reason. what's going on? is it really about the company, and not the font?
You couldn't argue with an alien that doesn't share your moral feelings. You can't reference any objective fact or point to where your morality is written into the laws of the universe.

Maybe you could say humans mostly have the same moral feelings since we have 99% the same DNA. But we seem to have no trouble finding important issues we disagree about.

Yes it is and hello from someone at Microsoft who has helped brand a few things. It’s really hard problem that is not easy to describe to others but branding in huge companies like these is hell.

The thing that really surprises me is "access to Google experts", which apparently means chat, email and phone [1]. Google has really avoided direct B2C interaction in the past; I wonder how they are developing this ability from scratch.

Positive reason: One quality of good developers is that they seek out new knowledge and want to “grow”. At some point, even in a great company, you may run out of ways to do that and you need to move on in order to keep growing.

Negative reason: Employees want to feel valued. If the pay doesn’t keep up with what they are worth, they’re going to feel the need to move on. A counter offer may only confirm that there employer really did know how valuable they were but decided not to pay them for it - until faced with someone giving their notice.
not op but I don't think it's inconsistent to view the military as a necessary evil while denouncing the use of drones in asymmetric warfare.

I'd have no qualms about supporting my own nation in a global conflict, but ethically speaking the drone program falls on the darker side of gray.

I've been in one. Back in HS, we took a trip to the GIANT anechoic chamber at Georgia Tech. It was incredible. If someone was facing away from you and yelling as loud as they could, you could barely hear it from behind them. You're standing on basically a giant net on top of a pit of foam blocks, and every wall is wildly shaped undulating foam.

It's really surreal and a number of people actually became nauseated at the sensation.

>“The old model of a general-purpose newspaper fit the industrial age when advertisers needed mass audiences to sell the products of mass production. But the marketplace no longer supports the model of a few messages to many people. Now it is many messages, each to a few people,” Meyer tells me via email.

The advertising as spying model is dying, too. The EU GDPR killed it in the second largest market on the planet. It is a matter of political opportunity for the same to happen in the US.

What we are seeing is the limit of advertising as a business model in general.
i don't agree with your definition of contracting, but either way i'm particularly interested if you can point to some legal code that forbids a contract from containing a "no subcontracting" clause. that would be quite interesting.
"as soon as I could". That's not "as soon as I knew".

My point is that lieing isn't a binary option. If people told literally no lies our society would fall apart. White lies are social lubricant to get through the day.

This matters in the discussion because employers have made their job positings be full of lies 99% of time. When everyone can expect that a random interaction is going to be mostly lieing then it's moved into white lie category, the same way that if you ask an American "How are you doing" the social expectation is for them to say good or great, regardless of the actual reality

Edit: I think the person talked about in the article has moved way past white lie and into unhireable status, but I feel like the idea that 100% honesty is the only policy is ignoring all of reality

I studied the 68000 manual in jr high but didn’t have a thing to program it on. I went from 6502 in High School (I understand but damn this is tedious), to IBM 370 (what do you mean no ASCII), to 6809 (what sorcery is this, oh my precious), to 8088 (why would they do this), to 68000 (a pox on IBM’s house for not picking this).

68K is so nice, and damn do I miss programming that low. The x86 always felt like I had offended someone from Greek myth and was being punished. A cruddy blaster not a lightsaber.
Yes they're defaulting to easy and putting out an inferior product. I'm willing to pay the same for a smaller paper that contains more of what I want.

More importantly could you double or triple the number of subscribers? I don't have an easy way of knowing for sure unless someone tries it. They could have fewer ads but charge more for them if they can get more subscribers in the 18-36 range.

I admit with the economics of actually printing the paper it might make more financial sense to go entirely digital. Sadly I haven't seen anyone do that successfully.

I totally agree with you, awesome comics! I was so surprised to see in the first lines of the Wikipedia page that "Chessboxing was invented by Dutch performance artist Iepe Rubingh.". I find this attribution quite controversial, even if Enki Bilal is cited later in the article. A better wording could have been "Chessboxing was invented by Dutch performance artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by French artist Enki Bilal’s comics."

A good employee who goes to great lengths to deceive others will eventually create more trouble than they're worth.
That's a bit of a tautology. You first have to be aware of the existence of something in order to then tolerate it.

The thing about dishonesty (aside from the fact that a person willing to be dishonest about one thing, is more than likely willing to be dishonest about other things too), is that it tends to beget more dishonesty. You tend to have to tell more lies in the future to maintain ones you told in the past. As I've said elsewhere in this thread, you can get ahead on the basis of dishonesty, but only if you lack integrity. Keeping a lie concealed for ever seems to me like it would require luck or tremendous effort, otherwise it's probably not a very interesting lie.
Yes, the law.

You don’t get to enforce when and where a contractor works. They can perhaps agree to it to keep a good relationship, but they are not obligated, and if they change their mind the only thing you can do is fire them.

You also don’t get to choose how they do their job. If they agreed to do something for a given price, they can do it how they see fit, even hiring a subcontractor. Don’t like it? Don’t hire them.

If you want control of both of those things, you want an employee. Now, there’s plenty of contractors that will behave like employees for you, if it gets their foot in the door, but if the IRS finds out you could be in trouble.

Where do you work?

You don't need to walk on eggshells in an exit interview. You can decline it or if that seems rude you answer like an athlete after a game. I've said "it was just time to move on to something new" about a dozen times in the last one I did, rather than "my bosses boss doesn't think I add any value and he lives in another country so I don't know if I can change that opinion, nor do I really want to spend 2 years trying to do so".
Maybe I’m just overly picky, but I am constantly at a loss as to what I want to watch. My wife gets more use out of our streaming services than I do, as I have mostly watched or own digital copies of everything I care about - so I get more use out of Hulu, Crunchyroll/VRV and iTunes to keep on top of current shows.

I think the era of strictly scheduled programming may be coming to an end, though there’s still people who like to channel surf - but I think the networks could find something in the middle if they tried (especially as somebody who doesn’t like the binge model that Netflix operates on).

Are there any tricks in the law that somehow allow the company to obtain that equity back? Any known cases of founders losing it all after leaving, despite the fully vested status of those shares?

In any job you must be given the opportunity to grow. The best employers will give you that chance over multiple dimensions: knowledge, wealth, reknown, responsibilities. Most employers will give you only one dimension. As long as you keep growing along that dimension all is well. But that single dimension gives a lot of leverage to your employer. He can use it to coerce you and force you back into line. When that happens, it’s time to go.

>30,000 bots [generate] well over $20 million a month of profit

that's $666/month per user

>“Re-infection costs have been estimated at $0.0935 per device,” say Putman and co.

>For example, potential botnet masters can make use of pay-per-installation services to set up the network. These can be bought on the dark web, with a fixed fee of 2 to 10 cents per device for installing the malware.

So I can buy bots for 10 cents per device and make "well over" $3/day on them? Not sure the math adds up on this one.
It's funny how a small industry is built around this. I remember a few years ago you could pay a monthly fee and they would have tiers and live support.

It wasn't very pricy for small attacks, sometimes even free for anything under 300 seconds.

More housing would also massively improve the cost of living in California. Estimates put housing expanse at nearly 50% of monthly income in San Francisco. The usual is 30%.

High housing cost is also the cause of all the other high costs. It's a regressive expense, so all workers need much higher incomes to live here. It makes restaurants, grocery, and car mechanics more expensive.

CA taxes aren't even that high, the total tax by percent of state income is only 11%, rank 6 in the nation. "Low" tax states like Arizona and Nevada are 8.8% and 8.1% respectively.

Dropping our housing cost to the national average would save you twice as much as eliminating all California income and sales taxes.

Kubernetes' has a pluggable container interface, called CRI. You can implement non-Docker containers. For example, there's a runtime called Virtlet [1] that runs VMs instead of Docker.

I don't know of anyone working on CRI implementations for FreeBSD jails or Solaris Zones. At the moment, I believe Kubernetes has specific dependencies on Linux in other areas that the container runtime.

Honestly, despite all the crap universities get, taking an undergraduate degree with a double major in physics and maths is an awesome way to do this. You'll meet people who are similarly passionate, be naturally competitive with them which is a motivating force not to be underestimated, and you'll meet a diverse set of teachers who each will have some awesome insights into these fields and you'll get to see first-hand how they think about solving problems.

Physics, and to a lesser extent maths[1], are topics where the top 1% of ability are actually concentrated at universities. My advice would be find a cheap university nearby and start enrolling in courses. If you're bright, motivated and take ownership of your own learning, the faculty will love interacting with you. If you're doing it to learn, don't sweat about the prestige of the place. There are people everywhere who will be much better than you at this stuff, and in some ways it's extremely motivating if you feel like with some hard work you can surpass some of your teachers, and it's extremely motivating when the best teachers recognize you as having more potential than the average student. You're never gonna feel either of these things at MIT.

[1] The problem with maths in academia is that it's massively biased toward proofs of mathematics and not use of mathematics. I've met very few PhD mathematicians who are even as close to as good at applying appropriate mathematics to problems then someone with a PhD in physics who consider themselves >50% theorist. PhD mathematicians are wonderfully knowledgeable if you say "tell me about this field of mathematics" and it's a field they know. But there is a certain extent to which they like to work by building things on a frictionless ice world, and get uncomfortable if asked to build something on the rough ground of the real world.
As someone who has been in this game for 15 years, I have to say that by the time anyone has infosec written down and categorized it is obsolete. The CISSP, for example, bombards you with questions about thoroughly obsolete attacks. I let mine expire and allow my resume to speak for itself.

Furthermore, after a couple hundred interviews over the course of my career, use of the term "cyber" is a huge red flag. Very few such people with "cyber" on their resumes are hired where I work.

That button is just a CYA measure. The idea seems to prevent users from claiming they didn't know they were being monitored. It solves nothing and gives users absolutely no control over tracking behavior. I doubt web sites wait for the user's decision to "accept" the use of cookies: since they normally travel via HTTP headers, they would already be in the browser's cookie jar before the page even rendered.

Maybe, but rarely to the degree that this guy did.
Laguvulin is honestly kind of middle of the pack for "iodine-ish" (like the original poster, I can relate to some skepticism with these labels) smokey whiskies. If that put you off, and you like Highland Park, I'd say that you'd probably be better off focusing on lighter, subtler whiskies.

The cheaper versions of that would be, for example, a Redbreast 12 (Irish) or a Glenmorangie 10. The only Highland Park that I have sitting around is an 18 year old, and I just compared them to that (again, the nice thing about whiskies is that you can put a few drops in a glass for comparison), and while they both have a little less to them than the 18 year old, they're also less than half the price. If you're feeling like branching over to the fruitier side, something like a Glendrodach 15 would be worth trying. It's not soo far off from the others, but tastes a bit sweeter and is a bit more complex.

If you're committed to smokey, non-iodine-y whiskies, Talisker is good, as noted. Maybe a Bowmore 12 (a little sweeter), or, if you find it, Ardmore or a Ben Riach. But again, it sounds more like your tastes go away from the smokey stuff to subtler whiskies.

---

A thing I'll note for the uninitiated here is that another nice feature of whisky is that there are literally only dozens of distilleries. There are something like 80 in Scotland. For a whisky nerd it's entirely possible to have a good 1/2 to 1/3 of them on a reasonably sized shelf. And since bottles take several years to go off, you really can have a huge percentage of the total range represented in a moderate whisky nerd's collection.
