I dunno about other companies, but Canon does "cellular" manufacturing rather than having huge lines all dedicated to just one thing.

Each cell is 5-or-6 small reconfigurable stations manned by a couple of people, who build a body or lens from start to finish, rapidly re-taskable to different lenses or bodies on the fly. Hundreds of cells on a manufacturing floor.
It seems to me that you've never worked at a company with a marketing team.

"To be ideological is to preconceive reality." Indeed! In his fervor to picture the Met as a racist, elitist, outdated bastion of high art the author does not care to spend any verbiage on the real problem: the Met's inaptitude for money. While mentioning a constant beat about money troubles he doesn't really talk about what is causing these, except mentioning number of visitors has doubled.

Leaving that aside, as one data point I wanted to compare Met's membership rates for two adults with those of Chicago's Art Institute, of which we are members: $105 for the Art Institute, $100 for the Met. And the Institute, while great, is no Met!

One practical concern is that it's a lot easier for a state to implement something like single-payer health care if they can pay for it through state taxes that are exempt from federal taxes.

Otherwise, they're competing with employer-provided health insurance, which is already tax-exempt. That gives employer-provided insurance a huge artificial advantage and makes single-payer a lot more expensive in comparison.
Some more detail (from https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidan...):
What is Substantial Equivalence

A 510(k) requires demonstration of substantial equivalence to another legally U.S. marketed device. Substantial equivalence means that the new device is at least as safe and effective as the predicate.

A device is substantially equivalent if, in comparison to a predicate it:

has the same intended use as the predicate; and
has the same technological characteristics as the predicate;
or
has the same intended use as the predicate; and
has different technological characteristics and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness; and
the information submitted to FDA demonstrates that the device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed device.
A claim of substantial equivalence does not mean the new and predicate devices must be identical. Substantial equivalence is established with respect to intended use, design, energy used or delivered, materials, chemical composition, manufacturing process, performance, safety, effectiveness, labeling, biocompatibility, standards, and other characteristics, as applicable.

We use MQTT for IoT type of stuff. I've been really really happy with it vs trying to use REST style stuff. MQTT has TLS support as well.

One idea that I had was to have copyrights expire after e.g. 20 years, but allow for renewals in exchange for an exponentially growing renewal fee. The first ten-year renewal would cost 1 million dollars (granting 30 years of copyright), and each subsequent renewal would last 5 years and cost twice as much. At this rate, holding a copyright for 75 years would cost about a billion dollars cumulatively, with another billion dollars required to hold it for 80 years and so forth.
This is only true if you think it's okay that people born in California can't afford to start families there. The state's housing regulations favor older, established people and wealthy newcomers over people born in California. If you really want to make that tradeoff, then go for it, but I don't think most people view the issue through this particular lens.

IMO, they should.
Cartels use violence to gain profit.

Homeowners invest their own money, at significant interest rates, to obtain a place to live. They do of course have an interest in protecting that investment - with increased density comes increased crime, stressed parking, and other problems.

To call homeowners a "cartel" as if they're extorting their local community for protection money is inherently misleading.

> If san francisco opened a state mental hospital for its homeless population, then all california counties would send people to them

Well, why not take that first step? I see the "we need more mental hospitals" solution trotted out over and over again but it seems that these cities spend a fortune doing everything for the homeless _but_ tackle mental health.

Is your concern really that creating mental hospitals would attract too many homeless, moreso than the current policy of providing free drug paraphernalia, safe places to do drugs, lax drug law enforcement, lax attitudes towards panhandling, shelter, good weather, etc.?
Yeah right, because words always just have one meaning and one context.
I keep seeing a lot of iffy reporting on this. Has anyone actually run this down and done a solid article on it?
I generally agree with this - I've had pretty solid impressions of capability after a few weeks that have largely been proven out.

The challenge I'm still facing is crafting interview questions that most effectively match those two-week impressions.

My issue with purely sticking to coding questions is that I've seen a handful of people study enough to nail those and then be completely uncreative or unmotivated beyond that. Specificity seems to be a key thing in other types of questions, to at least weed out the hopeless. You built this thing? You had that experience? Tell me the details. Tell me the details of those details. Etc.

One of the things making it hard is that the true standouts are rare enough that I've only hired a couple of them, so it's hard to find what's meaningfully shared between them that's identifiable in a single day.

So this is Telegram saying "oh we forgot to update for GDPR because err ... umm ... err ... Russia!"?

I mean we presumably do have Russian court Records from April, records that the Roskomnadzor went to court for encryption keys, and that there have been "shutting down entire segments of the Russian internet. Many small organizations, including language schools and museums, have been blocked as collateral damage." And evidence there was a demonstration with paper aeroplanes?

I am happy to accept that Durov has an axe to grind but Russia does look like a good suspect to start looking at first.

Allowing reviews only from active accounts could at least alleviate the problem and in case of Google it can even check the account's activity via its various services.

A google account cannot really be low activity if its owner browses the web, watches youtube, etc. The tiny minority who logs out of google when browsing, etc. could not leave a review, but it may be a small price for more valid reviews.
> As a "watch wearer" I find wearing the watch to be the whole point.

I am, indeed, surprised by that, but only, again, because it seems passive. Is there more to it, like being seen? Seeing others' reactions? I'm genuinely curious.

I also suspect you're unusual, which is why I was hoping to hear from the original commenter. I could, of course, be quite wrong.

> If there was a service where I could wear different watches without owning them I would be all over that.

I did a web search for "luxury watch rental" and found something at least vaguely similar. If those services aren't what you're looking for, maybe that's a business idea, along the lines of pooling/sharing private jets.

> If I could only own watches to display them in my house and never take them out I wouldn't bother.

Seems like a false dichotomy. However, it's closer to the actual practice (as I understand it) of owning multiples units but only ever wearing one at a time.

Of course, I'm lumping "collectors" in with "wearers", but that's partly because it's so difficult to distinguish from external observation and partly because some commenters have described watches as art, something which doesn't generally have an activity it can be used for.
We're not in China where the Government can decide to do whatever it wants. People in the community will vote on issues and elect officials into office who they think serve their interests. It is a common attitude of "I'd rather have no housing than more housing for people like them". Despite all the media the majority of people in Bay Area communities don't work in tech.

My landlord actively seeks people from the Bay Area to rent to and if they're not from here they're going to pay more rent especially if they work in tech. You're paying the tech transplant tax.

I'm not sure I agree about foreigners paying the highest rents, since it really depends what groups of foreigners you're talking about. SV tech employees? Maybe. Refugees? Definitely not. Rent control and land ownership are probably true, but again, that's true of foreign nationals working anywhere, not just in SF or the US.

I think we fundamentally disagree on whether foreigners should have a say in local politics, so we can't really have a productive conversation on this topic while we remain divided on that issue.

AFAIK it's handled through the airline when you purchase the ticket, and then is marked on your boarding pass that you get from the airline. If you've ever seen a boarding pass that has "SSSS" printed on it, it's to indicate to airline staff and TSA that the pass holder gets additional screening. I imagine this "95 list" is similar.

I didn't make it past his first "fact" that most American's can't afford to scrape together $500.

His source is a Google search, that search's first result is a CBS article, that article's source is a Bankrate.com survey.

That survey[1] asked how someone would pay for an unexpected emergency, in which that % responded "from savings" The other options on the survey were "use a credit card", "borrow from friends/family" & "reduce spending". So this obviously doesn't mean they don't have the money, it simply shows how they would pay for it. As I would use a credit card to pay for an unexpected expense 100% of the time, but that doesn't mean I don't have the means to pay for the expense.

As far as I'm aware male fertility decreases a bit with age, but there's no such thing as menopause and ovulation for men. So I doubt there is as much of a market for a male version. Besides, our male egos are way too fragile to risk learning we have fertility problems ;-)

Also your hormones may be fine, but your sperm can still be bad, e.g. your testicles can't get too warm.
When you're walking through the streets of your city, it's not important to you that the homeless people you see are some specific %age of the population over the last dozen years.

You care that the absolute number is equal to or less than the previous years.

The whole point of a per capita rate is to eliminate the effects of growth. While that is useful for measuring certain things, it's not really appropriate for things like poverty and crime.

The fact of the matter is it's damn near impossible to keep up with exponential growth without substantial effort to prevent bad outcomes for the added people. That starts looking like socialism, and this is USA, so good luck with that.

So instead we'll just look at per capita rates going down slightly, feel good about ourselves, and ignore the mess in the streets.

The good news is fertility rates are declining, if that trend continues maybe we can sort this out over the next 100+ years.

In quantum field theory on curved spacetime backgrounds, the notion of a particle is observer-dependent. Particles are departures from the lowest energy state, but which state has lowest energy can depend on an observer's acceleration. Consequently, different observers can disagree about whether and which particles are present in a physical system. (This phenomenon is the theoretical basis for the Hawking Effect.)

If your particles aren't real, are you real?

Interesting that AWS Lambda is also running containers instead of reusing processes. Their pricing suggests that Lambda is more efficient then containers, but maybe they priced it while anticipating being able to re-use processes later on.

We're already talking to the great people of Kubeless and OpenFaaS. Implementing either of them (or both) would be less work for us then getting Lambda to work on Kubernetes. But all the production usage and real world examples on the internet seem to be around Lambda so that gives us pause.

Since we're not trying to monetize a serverless framework we might be the only ones that can afford to make Lambda work on Kubernetes.

In the end we want to make something people want. And for me it is hard to judge what that is at the moment.

It's obvious that piracy is also theft. But adblocking is worse: The damages of piracy are hard to measure (and are therefor overestimated by it's victims) because many "pirates" would not pay for the pirated, non-rivalrous good if piracy wasn't available.

However blocking ads (especially when done by prevent them being fetched) directly damages the 2nd party at a known price. Each individual pageview has a cost to serve it, and a revenue gained from it (via ads). In that sense what we're stealing is actually pageviews, which have (IMO) more in common with physical real-world objects (rivalrous) than a digital copy of a file.
I don't think that's a claim you can validly make. Perception of how hard it is to get things onto a plane can prevent attacks. And unless you screen everyone's minds, you can't know that that's not the case. I'm not saying the balance is right.
We're talking about a very specific situation where the attacker has enough privilege to add an association but not enough privilege to just run the malicious program.

There is certainly evidence that Russia has a problem with Telegram. There is also evidence that Russia is trying to get Telegram removed from the app store.

What we don't have any evidence for is that these are in any way related to Telegram's inability to get updates approved by Apple. This is speculation based on the above claims which do have evidence.
That is just an amazing comment, with wide reaching applicability.

You can see this in the rent-to-buy ratios. While high in the Bay Area, it's nowhere near the out-of-control bubble levels of Vancouver and, to a lesser extent, Toronto. Housing prices are high in the Bay Area because people actually need to live here.
