My understanding is that was head of line blocking "at the HTTP level": When multiple HTTP/1.1 requests shared a TCP connection, the responses had to come in order, so if the first response was slow, all others were blocked behind it.

The authors instead talk of the analogous problem at the TCP level, which I don't remember enough of TCP to comment on.

This is an interesting new medium, built on the foundations laid by a number of media that came before it - social networking, reality tv, soap operas, etc.

As always, McLuhan’s 4 questions are helpful in thinking about it:

- What does the medium enhance?

- What does the medium make obsolete?

- What does the medium retrieve that had been obsolesced earlier?

- What does the medium flip into when pushed to extremes?

I’m a once computer science graduate now Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. For what it’s worth, I think finding someone you click with is more than just an intuition or the luck of the draw. In clinical speak the “match” you have with a provider is called the therapeutic relationship and it’s inportant. In studies about the common factors across the board that are correlated with successful clinical outcomes the therapeutic relationship is more strongly correlated than even the therapeutic modality being used (psychodynamic or CBT as examples). So finding someone that speaks your language is important to having good rapport. But obviously scheduling that first appointment is critical. I like to make that process smooth by responding to email or voicemail inquiries within 48 hours if possible. Also the first 30 mins consultation either over phone or in person is free of charge to give the client a feel for what it would be like working with me no strings attached. I structure this as 15 mins to explain what’s going on, history and questions I have to also determine whether I am in fact a good fit for them given my own training and experience. The last 15 are for my impressions and reflections and some of my past experience to support that. Afterwards if someone feels that they’d like to continue we make this a first appointment by reviewing disclosure forms, agreeing to the terms of therapy expectations, confidentially, etcetera and then go another 45 minutes to make it a meaningful and complete meeting. Hope explaining some of my process at the onset of taking on new clients is helpful to folks in tech looking for support. In fact this is part of who I think I work well with. I’m in a major tech booming city on the west coast, for folks wanting to ask more questions, pm me.
Chicago already has a subway train from O'Hare to the loop. It takes ~40 minutes to get downtown and is often crowded (and at night may have homeless people sleeping in it), but a normal express train would usually not beat it in time (an express train might be twice as fast, but won't come as often), so something like this becomes attractive. Also, the previous Mayor built a massive hole in the ground downtown for an express train, and it makes it look less bad if it's used.

It definitely does detract from it. It's just so over the top ornate. There's a beauty to it, but you can lose sight of the story in the style.

I'd liken it to trying to read a book written in calligraphy. Here's an example of what to expect:

>In youth he had felt the hidden beauty and ecstasy of things, and had been a poet; but poverty and sorrow and exile had turned his gaze in darker directions, and he had thrilled at the imputations of evil in the world around. Daily life had for him come to be a phantasmagoria of macabre shadow-studies; now glittering and leering with concealed rottenness as in Beardsley's best manner, now hinting terrors behind the commonest shapes and objects as in the subtler and less obvious work of Gustave Dore. He would often regard it as merciful that most persons of high Intelligence jeer at the inmost mysteries; for, he argued, if superior minds were ever placed in fullest contact with the secrets preserved by ancient and lowly cults, the resultant abnormalities would soon not only wreck the world, but threaten the very integrity of the universe. All this reflection was no doubt morbid, but keen logic and a deep sense of humour ably offset it. Malone was satisfied to let his notions remain as half-spied and forbidden visions to be lightly played with; and hysteria came only when duty flung him into a hell of revelation too sudden and insidious to escape.
Sounds like he's optimizing for the wrong thing. Lower set up cost but significantly lower throughput. These tunnels would over time become an enormous type of infrastructural debt.
If the Boring company could produce a reliable boring machine that dug at 10x speed, the boring machine would far far more valuable than these tunnels. It makes me think that the claims are exaggerated or misleading.
So many people like referring to Amazon and Facebook, although they forget that both companies capitalized on the rapidly raising demand for better shopping and better casual networking triggered by the rise of web. There were actual people willing to pay for a solution and there was nobody else providing a good enough solution because the technology was relatively new.

What recent technological advance made WeWork possible in a way that was not viable 10 years ago? Cash burning VCs' pockets that lets them underbid the competition?
> Bryan is just upset we guessed right. It is called science.

This description is actually pretty good, I think the general public vastly underestimates how often it boils down to this. So, in conclusion, yes, science is often just guessing right.

I'm not sure if you realise there are many world cities where you don't need a car.

You mean welfare taxes and welfare payouts?

All of this seems like gross oversimplification and it worries me that it is so common.

Words have definitions and meanings and when you conflate them you reduce your ability to understand and reason about the world.

I see why people think not doing something is equivalent of its opposite but this is not the case.

Not taxing someone is not the same things as subsidizing them for the same reason that not expressing hate is not the same thing as expressing love. Not attacking someone is not the same as healing them. Hospitals can't heal people by simply not attacking them.

Police reduce violent crime but it would be inaccurate to say that police are the same as hospitals because they both reduce personal injury.

Not doing harmful drugs and studying both make you smarter, but not doing drugs is not the same as studying.

What did they lose by not gaining admission in a procedure that is a black box in nearly all institutions?

Your argument could apply to all media that exist:

where $MEDIUM can be TV, radio, comic books, etc. That makes it a not so great argument.

Microsoft and the Yeoman Coders
Yeah. IMO the stakes aren't super-high because, as the journalist mentions, Chicago already has decently fast and consistent service via the Blue Line from downtown to ORD. Given that, it would be odd for CTA, Cook County, or the feds to throw money at getting marginal gains on an airport express line when there are much bigger wins to be had at lower cost by, eg, improving reliability of bus service in the South Side (https://southsideweekly.com/beyond-the-l-proposal-south-side...). The express line is (imo) a silly issue for Rahm et al to be giving as much attention to as they are, but as long as we're just at the stage where Elon Musk is spitballing how to build a whiz-bang tunnel of the future and Illinois tax money isn't going to it ... sure, go for it

Hallmark of an Economic Ponzi Scheme
An example from hang gliding: the wings form a shallow "V", with you at the centre. If it tilts left, there's more lift area downwards on the left (and less on the right), so it tends to tilt back, righting itself.

I'm not sure what prevents oscillation; nor how pitch is stablized (pointing downwards vs pointing up), but I've found hang gliders very stable.
Using AR would mean everything you do is recorded to some extent even though every effort is made to secure it. For instance to make queries on what you're seeing.

If everything you do in your daily life is recorded that is a significant privacy issue. More so than your private photos/text messages and GPS coordinates alone.

Apple is working on AR glasses, and is significantly promoting AR SDKs with their newest iOS releases. It's very easy to see why they take this privacy stance today.
> Apple would have to buy one on the grey market

No, they would have to pay someone to do "research" for them and figure out the vulnerability. They would pay that person enough to buy one on the grey market and figure out how it works, keeping their hands clean.
Do families with babies and young children prefer public transport over cars in these places?
It makes me think that the claims are exaggerated or misleading.

Which is why they need to get their first paid job so they can prove it. They can make lots of bold claims for their own tunnel, but if they prove it's true on a real job, then their technology suddenly becomes much more valuable.

That said, I'm skeptical too.
If the framework authors want to make a significant impact on the field, GPL v3 is not the way to license this.

You don’t get broad industry adoption and broad information sharing by trying to force a viral license on interested parties, you get adoption and information sharing by doing the hard work of building a community around the issue you care about and encouraging others to share information and best practices back into the community. OpenGL isn’t GPL v3, nor is ROS, nor OpenCV, nor the publication of CERT security alerts.

Releasing this under GPL v3 is simply the kiss of death for it, before it even got started.

[edit: looking deeper at the repo, GPL v3 is an even worse license to choose than it looks on the surface - there is no actual executable code in the repo, which means GPL of any version is incredibly poorly suited to the content at hand. If the authors have this weak an understanding of licensing issues, it’s very hard to believe they actually understand the subtleties of modern security well enough to justify investing the time to actually try to assess whether they’ve done a good job with their proposal here]
> Because potential for conflict of interest isn't a strong anti-trust consideration.

On its own may be not, but together with their de facto ISP monopolization it should be a very major consideration.

> Stopping something by arguing that an anti-consumer action may be taken by a company at some point in the future, is difficult.

It's not an abstract concern, because current day monopolistic ISPs are already doing it (zero rating). So there is no need to theorize, it's happening now.

See https://www.cnet.com/news/fcc-att-verizon-zero-rating-direct...

With corrupt FCC now removing any last protections of net neutrality, we absolutely should expect these monopolists to make it even worse than it is now, and such media purchases amplify it many fold. So this judge's decision is bizarre and demonstrates how messed up and toothless current anti-trust regulation is.
Rahm's audience isn't city residents (most of whom won't use this train) but companies that might choose their HQ's partially based on such considerations.
The book "The Seven Signs of Ethical Collapse" tells the stories of companies that suddenly collapsed due to hidden issues, like Enron and Worldcom. Tesla fits every sign: larger-than-life CEO with massive executive turnover, board of directors very deferential to the CEO, conflicts of interest (Solarcity acquistion), "innovation like no other", attempts to silence criticism, pressure to maintain numbers (Model 3 production and resulting problems with factory workers, firing employees and contractors to reach profitability).

I find the fact that they have an executive departure rate on par with what Enron and Valeant had most concerning - when large numbers of senior people don't vest their stock grants, it's normally because they know there's very something wrong that's not yet public.

It's especially suggestive that the VP of finance and chief accounting officer left in March, at the same time as the Fremont factory was put up for collateral and a "special purpose entity" was created to hold $546m in car sales, presumably to make the company appear more creditworthy.
Agreed. I'd prefer to focus on the vulnerability not the drama. I deeply respect both these community leaders and it pains me to see this unfolding. Wishing for the best outcome.
Is making smaller trains feasible?!
Ordinarily, I'd flag this stuff as just more drama. And I'm no fan of Theo de Raadt's. But from every account I've heard: OpenBSD was not included on the embargo for this bug. If Cantrill is accusing de Raadt of breaking that embargo, he owes a serious apology. This is not a minor thing: it is already perceived as problematic how some OS projects get included on these embargoes and others don't.

Guessing at a bug you weren't informed about, even if (in fact, especially if) the guess is informed by the actions of people who are included in the embargo, isn't doing anything wrong. The only people to blame are the people who tried and failed to protect a secret bug for just a subset of OS's.

Also: these embargoes are stupid, and everybody involved knows just how stupid they are. Rumors spread amongst the cool kids days or sometimes even weeks before anything is published.
> perhaps other municipalities) have a 72-hour law

This is harmonized by state law, CVC 22651(k). It's probably safe to assume every city and county (which therefore means the whole state, excepting federal reservations) has such a local law.
They’re using custom hardware to make this work.

As a WeWork member, I can confirm that the lease of my local WeWork (and the fee I pay) go to a subsidiary specific to the location.
It's not a direct link, but it's pretty close. You can't sell cars that aren't built, and if they're built, you want to sell them ASAP so you don't have to deal with inventory. That you can sell them to other countries helps with the inventory issue though.
And they literally changed the definition of literally to mean the exact opposite of literally. ;)

When a word gets used incorrectly or conflated enough even official dictionaries will change.

What's important is to understand the distinctions.

There's something called Sapir-Whorf theory and one of the important concepts is that the more precision your definitions the more capable you are at cognition and understanding and interacting with the world.

It's been said that Eskimos have 37 words for snow. This means that each different type of snow has different properties. They can more effectively operate in that environment compared to someone who thinks all snow is the same.

Some would say that ice and water are the same, and in many ways they are correct, they are the exact same molecules, but if you are going to jump 3 stories off of a diving board onto solid ice instead of water you are going to learn that subtle distinction real fast.

Similarly, conflating taxes and subsidizes reduces your ability to understand the distinctions and their different consequences. And when it comes to implementing policies can have similar effects as mistaking ice for water.

It's important to understand things precisely and not conflate things. Even more so when your votes and actions have a consequence on other people's lives as well.

We understand why you think they are the same, and in many contexts they can safely be conflated, but in many others it is dangerous to assume they are the same.
Since primary school in the 1960s and 1970s I've refused to do IQ, and I don't intend doing IQ: I think its bad social policy, the theory may work for some people but its used in pretty awful ways once it hits politics, school policy and budget.

That said, I think there are two pretty clear choices which then lead to more choices

Either this is a thing, and we should worry about it, Or, its not a thing, and we don't have to worry. The comments in the article about the Flynn effect and the ability to measure IQ in a changing world of "what is intelligence" goes to the second case: its too early to worry.

But, if this turns out to be something environmental or educational, much as (on the positive side) removing lead was for it's effect on behaviour, mood and intelligence, then we need to worry about this.

Personally, I don't yet think this is a thing. All the signs I see from the peak of 57 meritorious, unmeasured-in-IQ years, is that younger people are smarter than me, and more capable than me of applied thought.
