I'm not the GP here, but I think the idea is that there shouldn't be a de facto prior restraint on speech for the sake of copyright. By telling the hosts of user content that they're liable if their users do anything that violates copyright, it would mostly force sites to assume that all content infringes until checked to be otherwise.

Even if you own the copyright to whatever you posted, it's not in most site's interest to certify that to enough of a degree of confidence to allow it. I think back to issues Youtube has had in its own attempts to police Copyright, which has led to widespread abuse, and absurd situations like composers being hit with strikes for uploading music that they composed.

Yea--let's blame Prop 13? (I know there's a Prop coming up, and belive the rich boys playing Herbalife activism?)

I guess history needs to repeat itself? I know most Millenials blame Prop 13 for their rediculious rent payments.

At this point, I don't care. Let history repeat itself.

Read the book, I'm Mad as Hell, by Howard Jarvis--or don't--I just don't care.

Property taxes are an easy target if you didn't see your dad cry at the dinner table over a letter/bill.

Plus you will see a lot of fake news (sorry, just tired old man. I never thought I would spew "Fake news" anywhere.) about the virtuosity/whatever of Property Taxes.

I belive 1 percenter's/REIT's are "seeding" web chat forums? So--yes, if Prop 13 is defeated in California; your bosses will buy up that those bedroom homes, and rent it back to you at rediculious prices.

Three will be no free college, or whatever. No nirvana-----, but belive what you are programmed to believe? Yes--they are controlling thought. They are controlling the economy.

And your politicians will have War Chests to raid?

Most of you were glints in daddy's eyes before Prop 13.

Get rid of it, and and see what happens?

It will be more ugly than before, but who cares?

I was wondering recently how government would look if in addition to a minimum age for various posts (at least in the US) there was a maximum age as well. The argument of needing a certain age to have the correct knowledge and perspective on the current issues facing society applies equally well to an age ceiling as well as an age floor. There are doubtlessly exceptions of older politicians who are quite capable, but there are probably the same exceptions in quite capable younger would-be politicians who are currently excluded. It would certainly be interesting to see how that would effect the handling of emerging technologies.
Study shows where brain transforms seeing into doing
Are plans really priced liked that? 4 years ago, I secured a policy (PPO) for my small company (15 employees in NYC) and they did not ask the age of any employee, just the total number. All people were covered at the exact same cost. The cost to insure an employee with a family was obviously higher, which is something younger employees often to not have.
Here's a counter-argument. Keeping property taxes means that old people have to pay yearly rent to the government to simply keep their house. In Florida that's about 2k a year for my home. That's fine when we have an income. It's a bit more problematic when that's 10-20% of a yearly retirement income from which one also has to pay for necessities.

As to the housing crisis, what laws are preventing multistory buildings? SF blocks a lot of housing over 3 stories since they want to keep the mystique of the city from the Full House days (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_House). This makes housing extremely expensive since no one can easily put up a 50 story luxury housing apartment complex (which could have 1.5k sq/ft for a mere $675k).
I'm sure it would be great until they captured the market then raised prices and started sharing your data with 3rd parties as an additional way to monetize.
They're still very expensive compared to subways and buses. In New York, subways are pretty dirty, but a good bus is usually better and faster than an Uber.
There is `./hack/local-cluster-up.sh` if you download the source code of Kubernetes, which will give you a local baremetal cluster. The one caveat is, when you shutdown the cluster all files will be deleted.

There is also "./cluster/get-kube-local.sh" that is supposed to give you a working local cluster. But it appears to be broken right now. Might be worth opening a GH issue for that.

The cost argument makes sense until you look at the numbers. Giving closed, private offices to each employee is expensive, but there are other options. You can surround each employee with portable walls eight feet high for $2000 or less. If the lifetime of the wall is ten years, that's $200/employee a year. If you're working for a company that is so strapped for cash that it can't afford that, you should be looking for a new job, because your next paycheck isn't going to clear.

Excellent researchers does not equal good education for the broader student body. It's also not at all clear that increased funding leads to better educational outcomes or higher likelihood of landing a good job (the data is a bit old, but the divergence is clear here: [1]).

Either way, education funding is just something that the US population is demonstrably not interested in. Very few people push for more taxes to pay for education, which is what it would take, leading to things like teachers needing to strike just to get low-class income. And outside of specific demographic groups we do not have a culture that encourages academic study from a young age like many other countries do. These are big socioeconomic problems that are going to take a generation or more to change even a little bit.

As someone who has used 5-MeO-DMT several times, taken copious amount of "magic" mushrooms consisting of psilocybin, baeocystin and psilocin compounds I can only subscribe to the idea that our perception of "aliens" can only be viewed in altered states of consciousness while under the influence of psychedelics. Even in these states it's impossible to describe or comprehend what it is you are visualising and experiencing.

We as humans tend to think of ourselves as these all mighty and knowing species and the truth is if aliens did exist having us comprehend their state of existence would be like us trying to explain to an ant colony that they are ants and they live in a world where people still use the jQuery framework.

I wish I could bold this, but:

For a paid mailbox on professionally-managed systems that are likely to be able to stay around, expect to pay around $5/month probably annualized.

Fastmail Pro? $5. Office 365 Business Basic (Exchange/OneDrive)? $5. KolabNow? $4.50-5. Protonmail? €5-8. Heck, GSuite? Starts at $5. Most of the other paid options in here? Almost certainly in that same range, or there are noticeable drawbacks (e.g. no custom domains on Posteo). Hosting your own on a Digital Ocean droplet or other comparable small VM? Probably going to average out to around the same, plus your time administering.

It's probably possible to do this for less, particularly if you consider your time spent on dealing with any issues to be free of cost. For the rest of us, it seems that $5/month plus or minus a dollar or so is likely the consensus price out there and nobody's really managed to compete for less than that.

GMail does it free because for the vast majority of users people stay signed in so Google has a verified signed in user for ad targeting across Google's properties including their ad networks, and this likely includes on Android if someone clicks a link from the GMail app and opens in the default browser - boom, cookies set and linked to that identity.

In Germany we have extremely high property taxes (6% of purchase cost on new buy and 1.2% annual in my region). Plus very high transaction costs associated with real estate business (notary costs).

Opinion: Don’t damage our democracy by breaking up big tech
In two separate jobs, I had managers tell me it was “rude” for me to wear ear plugs, even after I explained to them that the office noise was unbearable and noise-cancelling headphones are painful for me to use.

It’s 100% about virtue signalling to management. Headphones fit the visual stereotype of a hacker, so it’s OK. Ear plugs carry a connotation that the stuff generating noise is somehow “a bother” or “a nuisance” ... which of course is true, but you’re not allowed to actually acknowledge that truth.

All the GUI, collection system should be in place as part of JS dev/debug tools already. Just customized it a bit so any tech savvy users can check the audit logs and enable more logging for a plugin if needed.

If an user spots something not right, it is also easy to out the "plugin/extension" on a public forum.

Problem is that the issue is not just about the numbers and units people expect to use.

The other issue relates to the fact that we build things according to imperial dimensions. (Paper is 8.5x11, bolts have sizes in imperial units, screw threads are pitched according to inches, etc.)

Some or all of this can be changed, but neither the change nor the transition are free. (ie: I two sets of tools - one for metric and another for imperial.)
Likely not. You would be poorer than you are now if you had kept at your PhD for one more year. Yet you say you stopped it and you're still commenting on y.combinator in your copious free time.
yep. solved - for 6 years in the sqm-scripts and now in cake.
(not solved, in docsis-pie)

We use diffserv for this, for apps willing to use it.
Example: ssh sets the imm diffserv bit for interactive use. cake respects that (I've cited the relevant paper elsewhere, another place is https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/CakeTechnica... but after extensive testing we settled on 3, rather than four tiers of priority)

stuff derived from the sqm-scripts use the same method (using htb + fq_codel) but the problem has always been that diffserv is not respected end to end. However, within your network, you can make your intention known and have it work, if you have the bottleneck.

Also, we have always made the latency/bandwidth tradeoff explicit - if you want less latency, you must want less bandwidth. It's the only safe answer to apps gaming the diffserv markings.
The article is talking about bikes though. Bike shares are definitely cheaper than subways and buses.

Case-in-point: in SF, Ford GoBike (by Motivate, soon to be part of Lyft) costs $15/month. A monthly bus (MUNI) pass runs at $73, clearly more expensive even if you use pre-tax money to pay it.

GateHub isn't their platform, its an independent 3rd party which has built effectively built a portal between the ripple network and their own hosted crypto wallets(a Gateway).

> wealthy parents will push their children into the activities CMU is looking for

I had the same thought, but there may be more to it... they unfortunately left us speculating as to what findings about their admissions process led them to this change.

Trying on a slightly fringe hypothesis: engineering has surpassed finance as the perceived get-insanely-rich discipline. So the top engineering schools are now more vulnerable to those who will pretend their "heart is in the work" but really just want to get on track to becoming Lord Voldemort (take your pick of real-world unscrupulous CEO). I have nothing against financial success being a motivator. But as a university, or as a manager for that matter, I'd want to filter out anyone for whom it's the only motivator.

Put another way: a demonstrated interest requirement selects for intense drive/motivation of any kind. Maybe CMU is looking for a specific kind, e.g. intellectual curiosity.

As an aside, agreed there will always be admissions gaming. But if the game is going to be broken, changing the rules periodically at least prevents the hacks from becoming too commoditized.

My wife recently got a car with a touchscreen display that controls nearly everything and it's infuriating. You can't use it without looking away from the road. There's still a physical audio volume control and the gearshift, so if you don't ever need to use the climate controls/nav/etc it's safe. I can't imagine how dangerous the Tesla 3 might be.

It would be hilarious if Apple did make a car and everything used physical knobs and buttons because of course that's better.

> then ask for more permissions.

I agree with you. As another reply to you states, however, Firefox doesn't currently let me ask. You have to kind of go hunting for it.

> And if you're not adding a new feature, then why do you need more permissions?

Firefox does not let me explain why the permissions are needed. It would be nice if we could have a little blurb where we can state our case next to each permission.

Our current approach is to explain likely upcoming permissions requests in advance and ask our users to stay vigilant for the appearance of the tiny yellow exclamation mark, but that's not very helpful to the third of users stuck on old verions before we learnt that trick.

> And don't be surprised when people say NO.

I think very few of these users have said no on purpose. We ask for (and use) almost everything [1], so any marginal new permissions are unlikely to give us much more power. The current permission model actually makes it tempting to just literally ask for everything because we might want it for a new feature in the future.

The optional permissions are not fine-grained enough to be useful (you can accept all optional permissions, or none) and not available for enough permissions, otherwise we would use them.

Also, the first versions of our software were really slow and bad. I really doubt many people are staying there on purpose. (If there are any Tridactyl users in this thread using an old version on purpose, I'd like to hear from you :) ).
