And yet this is far from the first complaint I have seen of you folks not giving candidates the respect of following up with them after they invested their time. The response is always something along the lines of "let me check what happened..."

> Yet, San Francisco is one of the most economically unequal cities in this country [0]. So what's up? Why have the city's Democrats been so unable to help the poor if that's really something they believe in?

Because even as recently as 2005, there were still some really rotten sections of San Francisco that had yet to be gentrified. So, you still had lots of people with lower income living in certain areas.

All those areas are now basically gone so it's actually becoming critical.
This article is a bit unfair to Kim and Leno. It says they are "cooler" on housing than Breed, but that's not really accurate. They all want more housing. The policy difference is over how hard to negotiate with developers for working class housing.

The only quote from Kim is this: "If I’m going to give you ten additional storeys, I’m going to want you to increase your middle-income housing programme."

You can debate whether a purely free market approach will address this effectively, but it's inaccurate to characterize fighting hardest for low- and middle-income housing now as a "cooler approach". Cities need housing for service industry workers -- especially as more professionals move in.

Well, I agree with a slightly different assertion: that most people cannot securely manage software on a current desktop OS.

One of the problems that I think we technical people have not been able to solve yet is giving the user appropriate signals of the relative danger of the action they are about to engage in.

If all the dialog boxes look very similar, and any app can create one, you have yourself a dangerous system.
This is the core way we look at it. Our models are hopelessly simplistic, and have no chance of modeling the true complexity of human ability. It's important to stay humble and recognize this. However, what we're competing against is people (often non-technical people) making gut screening decisions. And it ends up that even relatively simple models can do a better job than most recruiters making gut calls.

And the fact that we are able to do this while being blind to background (and open to people from all sort of backgrounds) is something that I think is very positive. We totally make mistake and reject good people. But we get better over time, and we also help lots of people get jobs they might not have been able to get without us.
I have seen the talk and may have read the paper, but I remember it mostly for talking about the relation between entanglement and measurements but not for addressing the fundamental nature of particles. But even without rereading the paper I have another point that may cast some doubt onto the idea of the wave function being fundamental. There seems to be growing evidence that space and time are not fundamental which, in my opinion, makes it sound rather unlikely that the wave function will turn out to be the fundamental building block of the universe given the extend to which it depends on these concepts. Essentially I think the most honest answer right now would be to say that our understanding of physics is far from good enough to tackle the question of what is really fundamental and what is just emergent.
What would you like to discuss in such a forum?

I suspect the answer is that if many (enough) others do too, it does already exist.
I didn't say anything about asking prices. I said "contract prices," which is the final agreed-upon price for the house after an offer is accepted. Even if the asking price is higher or lower than the contract price, it's typical for the appraisal to come in right at the contract price. The appraiser knows this value going in, and it's pretty typical for the appraised value to be exactly the contract price. This is, at least, a very interesting coincidence.

I was visiting Baltimore's Inner Harbor recently with my wife and our two kids. With a couple of hours available, we thought we'd checkout the aquarium. Then we learned our 4 tickets would cost $130 ($40/adult, $25/child), so we found something else to do instead.

I know an aquarium is not an art museum, but still...
> So when you say it’s independent , what do you mean?

We agree that "monetization results are entirely dependent on having those people subscribed". What I’m saying is the _way_ Facebook does that monetization (with ads) is independent of that. If Facebook were a subscription-based service, it’d still rely on those "techniques to get people hooked/attracted/addicted etc". So you can’t complain about Facebook’s ad-based model by saying it encourages peer pressure because the latter would still exist even if there weren’t ads.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with statutes and regulations being worded generally as long as they are not vague. Getting too prescriptive in this particular context would be counterproductive as the technology issues change over time.

What GDPR should say: things like "do not allow third-parties to track your users" or "warn users about third-party tracking". That would be exceedingly clear and actionable.

Now, "do not allow third-parties to track your users" might require some additional regarding implementation via contractual clauses. For example, if site A uses resources from site B and has a contract with B stipulating non-tracking of A's users, is that good enough? What if B is outside the EU? And so on. But aside from such side issues, "do not allow third-parties to track your users" is trivial to implement: a) only embed resources from third-parties that agree not to track your users, b) do not embed resources from any other third-parties.

"Warn users about third-party tracking" is even easier to implement: if you embed resources from third parties, you must warn.

> With GDPR it's not the data it's what done with the data.

Good! You can use contracts to manage this with all the third-parties you deal with.

Now, what about links to [non-embedded] external resources? We must not kill the web.

These seem different from classic company towns like Wolfsburg or Flint, because they're integrated into a real city. It's hard to put a company town in the middle of nowhere and get good schools, restaurants, and performing arts. These are really company suburbs, which can be soulless but not unlivable.
The problem on iOS and other mobile devices is that, when not using WiFi, you don’t have any place to put such a block.

Yeah, very similar--with one primary enhancement: That is, I initially started generating objects-per-table, but found that it was a little limiting for a lot of use-cases I encountered. In particular, it didn't cover joins very well--particularly for queries that fed list views.

So, I expanded into supporting raw SQL SELECT queries that can include joins, which I parse and combine with DB metadata. I then generate the DTOs from there. So, a single DTO can have properties mapped to different tables, which I found much less redundant/limiting than entity-per-table designs.

In addition to the SELECT code, I can use simple checkboxes to also generate INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE/UPSERT code, which map the DTOs back to the underlying tables. It recognizes keys and includes multiple-table writes in a single transaction, etc. In addition to the DTOs and the DAO layer, it can also optionally generate a service interface.

Of the utilities I've written over the years, it is the one that most stands out as having paid me back incalculably.

It seems like it would be an all around benefit to the economy to disrupt the model that hedge funds use to invest in companies. Obviously access to capital is important. Obviously there are companies that benefit from more efficient operations (e.g., the Olive Garden drama of years past...BREADSTICKS). However, I cannot seem to find any benefit in allowing a hedge fund to charge for services to a company it has taken over. To buy a company with the pure goal of extracting any short term value with the intent of destroying it seems to be a long term societal ill that should be regulated out of existence.

He already pretty clearly said what he thought. I'm looking at the numbers. That's reality. You, on the other hand, are operating on future assumptions that may or may not come to pass

Meanwhile your counterpoint is a very vivid fantasy of what Tesla wants to be beyond a car company, which is something it’s not doing particularly well. You’re engaging in just the kind of fantasy “Future assumptions” in question, and really just buying into empty PR and marketing. The evidence suggests that Tesla is a car company, and struggling to be just that. It’s an act of intense mental gymnastics to say that no, they’re not just a car company, they’re a whole economic sector that started as a car company... before they’ve even pulled off step 1. Maybe they will be, but the odds are not in their favor, and it’s going to be a moot point if they can’t even turn a profit on their cars.

Arguing from an imagined future should be the job of marcom, not you. It’s not a failure of imagination or a lack of faith for rational people to look at what is, not a vision of what may or may not ever be.

I'm currently trying to rig up a Macintosh Plus I bought with a scsi2sd hard drive and internet connection. It's fun! But I've also discovered just how long a history Apple has of choosing "technically better, but much less well adopted" tech in their products. For instance:

At least where I work, we are painfully aware of this tradeoff, but are willing to make the sacrifice because of the severe costs of making a bad hire. We are small, and cannot afford to lose 90 days.

Small or large, I think this is fair. But also fair is to take this into account when making claims about any alleged shortage of qualified workers.

Not that you or your company have necessarily made any such claims but plenty of companies that similarly follow a low false positive at the expense of false negatives approach have done so, including in sworn testimony before legislative bodies.
Thanks for reporting this! Yes, apparently the Twitter script is always loaded also. I need to add logic to only load it when needed.
It is misleading to cite an overall budget total without considering the context. San Francisco has a larger population than a number of states and that population grows when you include the commuting population which is less of a factor at the state level. There is also the simple fact that liberals generally prefer a larger government than conservatives. San Francisco is one of the most liberal cities with one of the largest city budgets. You shouldn't compare it to some of the smallest and most conservative states with the smallest state budgets.

Either way, my original comment was that it is hard to create these program "on the city or even state level".

Personally, I highjack all DNS requests made on my network at my router, then use a VPN tunnel to resolve them on a server that I control that runs unbound. My guess is that FIOS was doing the same to you, just without your interests in mind.

A similar setup to mine could be deployed at your network edge, and it could then force all of your port 53 DNS requests to go over a more secure protocol. Of course you would have to figure out how to set this up, and it wouldn't protect your devices anywhere except your home network.
Read the comments here, and it seems like Telegram is being pretty shrewd from PR perspective, since everyone is willing to blame Russia and Apple. Admittedly Russia is a deservedly easy target, and Apple has some vocal critics. If enough people want to believe the accusation, and are willing to at face value (and that seems to be the case here at least) then it’s already “mission accomplished” for Telegram.
Unfortunately, it is closed and wired into an overall framework I crafted, so has some dependencies there.

I see additional problem with this, which actually endangers autonomy.

The resolving is not only done for user-initiated action, but is being done by many programs, even which you might not want to do it. For the same reason, many users use a local firewall to block outcoming connections, like Little Snitch.

(Sidenote: if you are using MS Office 2016 for Mac, and are not satisfied with the choice of telemetry that Microsoft offered you in the last update, and you are interested in third option, "None", the hostnames to block are nexusrules.officeapps.live.com and nexus.officeapps.live.com)

With apps using DoH and ignoring the local resolver, that firewall will now have a problem, especially if multiple, separate hostnames resolve to the same IP. Until now, Little Snitch used a guess (last resolved hostname that matches the IP); now it won't have that chance.

That's why, if the user wants to have a chance to who their local processes talk to, they must be forced to use a local resolver under user's control, not implement their private resolver. And of course, on non-public networks, it should be supplie-able by DHCP or RA.
> There is a way to "force" an upgrade, for example when a returned device is refurbished for resale, but forcing it wipes the secrets used to decrypt the user's data, effectively destroying it.

It's interesting.

Why "[wipe] the secrets used to decrypt the user's data, effectively destroying it" instead of wiping the data itself too?

Is this to potentially allow a third-party with enough power (i.e. a government entity) to eventually decrypt the data?
