I must disagree.
Spending some time thinking how this info is useful to the end user as opposed to the data watcher / holder. I believe that this data is exponentially less useful for the end user as it is for the persons adversaries.

Cell phone companies for example may have legitimate reasons to keep location data for billing disputes for 60 days or so, but holding that data longer makes it available to all kinds of agencies, law enforcers and those with that kind of access who would abuse that access, marketing groups, divorce lawyers, accident attorneys, all kinds of possible things that are detrimental to the end user.

The data companies profit from sharing this data, and it costs the end user. Whatever benefits one can come up with, I think the scale is obviously tipped in the "more useful against you" than "for you" direction when it comes to long term location storage.
Indeed, Apple is significantly worse in this regard. Both Amazon and Google devices allow you to install system-wide ad blockers from other sources.
Yessir. They were first to break compatibility, immediately (ish) after Minolta did it.
Nice. I was going to post, 'how hard can it be to identify a broken wrist', but you answered me that it does happen.
If you’re a software engineer, where should you live to maximize your income?
This is really hard to answer. Just make it part of your process and don't block on it for that first batch of applications to jobs.
I guess my confusion is, how can anything have an identity if we just asserted that nothing does.
I think it's incredibly insensitive to assume that just because the weather is nice that people are fine being homeless.

Homelessness is by and large a product of mental health issues, and a lack of a good mental health system.

>only so many people willing to be homeless...
right, because so much of the homeless population just needs to try harder. If this is how people really see the issue it's no wonder that its still an issue.
With the lines at NYC museums, making a short one hour visit is almost impossible. To be able to make a donation less that $25 suggested fee, one has to stand in those lines. People that make the short visits tend to pay for a membership that allow them to bypass the line.
> "You don't use github just for git."

Well, some people do. I don't, apparently you don't, probably most people don't. But you could and some people do. I've seen a few projects on github with notes to the effect of "don't bother submitting issues/PRs here, do it through our [mailing list/etc]"
Yeah, I remember hating Ruy Blas for the entire year. Then we got forced to see it in a play. It was nice.

When you read it, most people follow the lexical rhythm. It makes not sense. You are supposed to speak naturally, with the emotion and speed matching the context.

But again, I never had any teachers remotely good enough to realize that and do anything about it.

On key problem is that you need to be really good to be a decent teacher, and after sampling 11 schools because of my father's work, probably encountered 2 teachers that had the skills and cared enough.
There's an unofficial issue import API:

https://gist.github.com/jonmagic/5282384165e0f86ef105

But it doesn't let you change ownership of issues or comments; everything appears as created by the importing user.
That's the whole point - using a per capita measure is inappropriate.
A good solution would be affordable long time tickets. Why not a yearlong ticket for $50? I don’t think the revenue would be less than with single tickets but take away all pressure of making the best out of the ticket.
Sure, but that's understandable no? Even if they had managed to hire all of the former engineers working at the original manufacturing plant, there was probably a ton of knowledge that was simply lost when it was closed. If they now have to rediscover all of that on their own you can't expect them to recreate a century of fine-tuned knowledge from scratch.

Actually, that touches on something that really saddens me: a ton of this knowledge is just lost when a company goes bankrupt. Part of The Impossible Project was to minimise that loss:

> Kaps revealed through a series of blog posts and interviews in 2016 that he had personally approached Fuji about acquiring their machinery in an attempt to to rescue their soon-to-be discontinued FP3000b and FP100b packfilm products. Kaps was unsuccessful in this pursuit, but motivated by his disappointment in Fuji's decision, he established the Analogue Product Institute (API) with the goal of "developing a NEW generation of analog instant packfilm [and] Establishing a rich network of new suppliers, manufacturers and financiers from all over the world".

It's not entirely unlike relying on closed source software, I guess.

I think the bigger problem is reviews written by stiupid people. I seen a mosquito killer lamp that had very low reviews - when you show only one star, majority reviewers were complaining that the blue light lamp doesnt kill roaches and it inly attracts mosquitos, so it must be fake.

We vs I is an interesting question. If the company really values teams, then saying we and pointing out your place on the team is better than successfully convincing them that you did it alone.

Beware of this though. Some companies will say they value teams, but the reality is they do not. Others value it so highly they hide that, lest you hide that you don't work well with teams but need the job enough.
I agree. My point is that it is a misleading juxtaposition. I think most people who read that sentence would parse it as something like Americans income is 60k, and then after they pay for healthcare they have 32k or less left
What's amazing to me is how many people are so quick to dismiss the kind of poverty we have in the U.S., just because people in the poorest developing nations have it worse off.

Online content is the textbook public good. It doesn't compare to anything like cars, food, or computers. There is no harm from using an adblocker. It doesn't compare to normal theft in any way. You can argue it's immoral, but calling it theft and comparing it to stealing physical things is always bogus.
Yeah, not any more. Maybe in 1999 you could come in as a high school dropout and make an easy six figures since you truly were better at this "internet stuff" than the vast majority of the older IT folks.

I doubt we're in for another massive technology shift like that though in our lifetimes where toys turn into business tools exceedingly rapidly. AI is about the only one I could think of, and the barrier of entry there is far higher than the $150k/yr 17 year old webdev job of olde.

They were outliers, but they certainly existed within my friends group. Those that built independent websites/marketing/etc. did even better, and built rather good careers out of them over time. Many are now retired or semi-retired in their 30's.

Those doors have since been firmly slammed shut though by those who came afterwards, now you are gated by the HR dragons from most jobs.

It was a unique point in tech history I doubt will be re-created, but it's easy for those who lived it to think things are still like that. I got lucky to experience that and "come up" at the right time being interested in the right things. Today I'd have zero chances being unable to afford college. The competition is much more fierce as well.
Then the problem becomes: are you stifling reviews from someone who just created an account and has no behavior to be spoken of?
Not unlikely, but as well; both the stock discount and the moonshots have to do with Google being so dependent on one source for its income (ads) as others here have noted.

I suspect, as in Vancouver, a lot of foreign-originated dirty money is getting parked in SF real estate, where the structures sit vacant.

One of Vancouver's innovative approaches was a special tax assessment on vacant structures.

I honestly wonder what percentage of SF, including its commercial office space, is simply a vehicle for money laundering. Switzerland and the Cayman Islands have nothing on Uncle Sam when it comes to real estate opacity.

Jason Calacanis makes comments about this from time to time on his podcast. There's some pretty nontrivial problems with the whole NIMBY stuff, and it seems like it will likely have to involve some seriously legislation that I think might be more at the governor / state senate level. The homelessness problem is something that no one has solved really well and is perhaps even more complicated than the housing crisis itself (though they're part of the same challenge in many ways).

This is one of those big daunting problems that feels increasingly make or break for SF as a whole, and given it the size and complexity of the problem, will likely involve a very disruptive and painful change to address.

If I'm taking a bet here, I think it's more likely that they don't handle the problem effectively and the workforce and economy distribute out of the system, followed by a sudden and severe real-estate market correction, and then the growth will settle and flatten for a while

Agreed, if you are going to have democratic processes you must be willing to accept their outcomes, even when the results are not in your favor or grossly against your interests.
Hmm, I'm not so sure that's true. From [1] there are about 500,000 people spread over almost 2,300 'colonias' in Texas who live without basic services like running water or sewer. There's by some measure 1.7 million of them over the US [2]. The photos from that article are very much what is described.

There are incredibly poor parts of the US where people really do live in third-world conditions -- though that's definitely the exception. Even within major cities like SF, we battle with the 'encampments' and I routinely walk by planters filled to the brim with heroin needles. Some of my walks home I see people with open wounds, lying on the sidewalk, with obvious mental illnesses muttering to themselves. You definitely won't find this in Europe, and I've certainly not seen something comparable growing up in Canada.

There's huge wealth disparity here and massive distrust of the government, which together mean those most in need are not looked after. I believe in income and wealth inequality but only when coupled with social mobility and only when the worst off can live meaningful, healthy lives.

I definitely have perspective, having lived in Canada, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the US. I've also traveled all over Europe and Asia.

I had the almost opposite experience when I fractured a bone in my hand (it was a minor bone chip).

The tech at the immediate care facility saw it, but my ortho didn't when he reviewed it on a follow-up. I had to point out the bone and where it was before my ortho saw it. His response was basically "Oops" followed by removal of the temporary cast/sling and replacing all of that with a reinforced removable brace (which was awesome, because I could easily shower).

I broke my hand after dumping my bicycle taking a corner too fast on a training ride (I was doing around 25 mph) and losing traction under my rear tire. Rode home about 5 miles on that broken hand...

One of the tragic tropes of San Francisco is that people often and loudly think homelessness just needs to be "fixed," and that it just takes getting the right person into office to do so. But there ain't no silver bullet and these issues are complicated.

It seems like SF has been moving in good directions as far as dialing down the "arrest the homeless" strategy propounded by carpetbaggers offended that the sidewalks don't remind them of Topeka, the evolution of Navigation Centers, and other homeless-directed policies.

Frankly, zoning and development issues seem easy compared to homelessness. It's popular to dehumanize those without money, so the ideas only trickle in. Flint, MI still has poisoned tap water, after all.
I can't verify with real numbers but my mental model is that votes on housing are not representative of the population.

SF has a very high foreigner population that cant vote. They are moslty renters. US renters also might not live enough time in the city to register, be politically active, or end up moving due to lifestyle or economic reasons. And of renters you will have those that have rent control, which end up in tandem with owners about de-regularization.

Im sure that if you put up a vote landowners and rent-controlled renters have a concentrated interest, and renters and foreigners dont have representation even if they are the majority. If you took all renters of SF in the last 6 years you might get a higher number than landowners but they cannot fight it politically.

So I adhere to the notion of unrepresentative democratic outcomes.
The buddhists went through this thought process and have decided that nothing has inherent identity. IT's called "emptiness" or "Shunyata". In general it seems a more philosophical question than scientific.
It’s a given that the more GitHub features you use, the more difficult it is to move away from GitHub. It’s also a given that you can reasonably limit the extent to which you use GitHub and thereby limit the difficulty in transitioning to another solution.

The idea that it’s GitHub locking you in rather than you locking yourself in to GitHub is the argument I take issue with. But no quarrel at all with Gnome choosing GitLab, because GitLab is genuinely great.
Perhaps he added more domain fronting? And apple is trying to decide on their position of that technique?
Yep. This is a huge distinction for developers. Hodgepodge ("NUMA") systems can easily have the problem of "GPU 1 can quickly talk to GPU 2 but slowly to GPU 3", which is a productivity killer on code that is already > 10X harder to write to beginwith. GPU teams like ours (Graphistry) make simplifying assumptions on the hardware based on where things are going... and uniform memory access (within a cache hierarchy level) is one of them. In this case, we assumed saturating a single GPU is enough, and write kernels such that as single-node multi-GPU boxes become mainstream (like this), that it's in reach to use them. For initiatives like the GPU dataframe devs in the GOAI project, same thing. Today's office conversation: What will this look like for cloud multinode (e.g., rack)? :)

AND... if you like frontend js or fullstack js, and think this stuff is cool, we're actively hiring :) See https://www.graphistry.com/blog/js-gpus-ml-arrow-goai for our thoughts here.

>purchasers of Model 3's now expect OTA updates so there is a little bit of R&D cost in the future but it's very minor compared to what's already been spent.

Toyota spent almost $10 billion on R&D last year. Ford $8 billion. VW spent $15 billion.

Tesla spent $1.5 billion. What is it that makes people think that Tesla's R&D spend is so significant, and that it will diminish drastically in the future? This is an R&D intensive industry.
I think that's pretty standard for a lot of camera equipment. They'll do a run of one lens, and then a run of another, rather than 10 of this and 10 of that.
This is one of the aspects of GDPR that gets blown out of proportion. You can keep IP addresses in your server logs if you can demonstrate that it's important to your business.

If you can't demonstrate that it's important to your business, then you can mask the IP addresses. This was a very common thing to do even before GDPR.

In other words, compliance in this respect is dead simple. If you need IP address information for a specific reason, then keep them. If you don't need it, then change your log format to omit them or turn on IP masking.

How would you explain homelessness in countries with much better access to mental health services? Homelessness is a combination of issues like mental health services, housing prices, social safety nets, and much, much more.

The real question scares people to even think about: what is the real price of ending the homeless epidemic and are we as a society actually willing to pay it? What if housing prices had to cut in half and taxes had to double? What if funding had to increase by 50x? What if 1:5 families had to accept a homeless person into their spare bedroom?

One of the popular trends right now is scanning a film picture or a piece of physical artwork and then adding things with digital means. I'm not sure that the film adds anything whatsoever - nor the physical artwork since digital is pretty good at mimicking all of it. I think it is all about the process and the skillset a person is showing off. In his case, he winds up with an image that has a lot of steps, has a lot of room for error (film processing), and not many people can repeat his exact process.

People pay for this sort of thing as much as they pay for a clever gimmick.
