I'm curious if this is a real crack down or they are just trying to act like it.

All of the big social networks have tons of bot activity to the point that most likely the majority of their requests are from bots. If they actually stopped all bots activity it would tremendously hurt their user counts and thus their valuations.
Not making them LEO's is one of the ways they get around the 4th amendment, if they LEO with the ability to criminally charge people well now you are making a Criminal Search and the 4th amendment kicks in.

Law enforcement is not allowed to search people in a free nation unless there is probable cause a crime has been committed.

personally I think the TSA is a 4th amendment violation as they stand but....

>As long as air travel remains not a fundamental right

Freedom of movement is a fundamental Right. Airport security was fine when it was a non-governmental process imposed as a condition of carriage by the private airline companies. It becomes a problem when it is government agents doing to searching.

One should not be subjected to searches by government agents as a condition of being allowed to travel

After federal taxes you'd be left with 81710.5, so 7k for property taxes and healthcare seems reasonable.

Nah.

The job opportunities for people newly graduating are piss poor in Chicago compared to elsewhere. A lot of old opinions on work prevail, compared to new flexibility in working that we're seeing.

Also, having lived in the suburbs for a while, I was shocked how much casual racism is present there.

Chicago is in many ways trapped in the past. It's corrupt and dirty. When I see billboards for strip clubs above sprawling concrete freeways, I know I'm in Chicago.

Product: Job to be done and owning a moment (Klinger Tweetstorm)
From the article:

Ahead of the demonstration, Magic Leap and AT&T announced today that the cellular carrier will be the exclusive wireless distributor of Magic Leap One devices to U.S. consumers, and is investing an unspecified amount in the company. Despite an earlier claim by Magic Leap’s CEO that the line between developers and enthusiast consumers had blurred, an AT&T statement appeared to rule out consumer shipments in 2018, suggesting that developers will get access first.
I'm not entirely sure I follow the logical argument: regulation is relaxed along transit arteries, allowing developers to build and sell more units there at market rates, thereby keeping the market prices in check; that's great.

But I would assume someone capable of paying market rates, typically still owns a car. That car still needs a parking space, so even if the owner does not use it for his daily commute, the presence of the car still has an impact. I would furthermore assert that many if not most middle class citizens living alongside good transit do not actually use it for work, because of the complexity and inconvenience. It certainly seems that way and the article puts forward no hard numbers.

So there should be a marginal decongestant effect from encouraging high density in those areas, but the same rules could be applied everywhere for an even stronger effect on market prices. The task of the mayor then becomes to get transit to those newly developed areas and keep congestion down; not to coax developers to build where transit is - they will do that by themselves simply for the market premium transit options afford to their investments.

Joking snark aside, I'm actually doubtful this is true. Specifically, I don't recall the impetus for Hadoop (or Google's original Map-Reduce, as described in the '04 paper) being an all-in-memory workload.

Despite it being repeatedly brought up in this sub-thread, I maintain that it's a niche use case and that disk-based data processing workloads are far more common.

ETA: Does anyone know of a canonical or early/initial document outlining the purpose, or at least design goals, of Hadoop?

A few problems:

1. SSH's whining about first connection fingerprint trusting is needlessly petty and nobody actually checks the fingerprints, and in many cases they have no need to do so anyways.

2. Almost all cert errors a user will encounter in the real world are the fault of misconfiguration (wrong domain) or pathological/greed-driven behavior (expiration) rather than something that actually impacts the confidentiality of the connection (which is what we care about).

3. The fact that all cert errors are treated as the same severity (red screen! exclamation points!!1 YOU ARE IN DANGER!!!1one) conditions people to click by them without thought.

The cost of healthcare and need for health insurance prevent many people from becoming entrepreneurs. Case in point one of my best friends is a talented physiotherapist who has dreamed of starting his own clinic for years, however he has a chronic genetic health condition that keeps him reliant upon working for employers whom provide “good” health insurance. I think a nationalized health system would provide a boost to the startup economy.
A lot of comments in here are poking fun at how little data it is relative to a commercial data mining operation. The data they process and what they do with it is worth more to society than any number of petabytes crunched to target ads. Processing petty petabytes is not praiseworthy.

If you focus on the headline, you'll miss the point. The point is they used open source technology to process public data for reporting once the government stopped updating its own tools.
Blackberry KEY2 review: this phone will surprise you
There is a very real problem with this extension that will upset people that use it. It’s using the window.localStorage object that will possibly be cleared out when the browser history gets erased. It asks for the storage permission in the manifest but does nothing with it. To the op, use chrome.localstorage() for any read and write operations(edit note that this is async)... that protects against clearing the history. If you plan on storing images you can just request the unlimitedStorage permission to get a full indexdb instance with the same simple api that is simple to use. (not sure if this perm is valid on chrome)

Your presumption is that you only ever view them as plaintext. I author using plaintext, but one reason I use Markdown is that it is easy to make uniform looking notes. When I later view, especially longer ones, I do so rendered.

Even if you only did view them as plaintext, it sure is a handy format for a static blog generator in case you'd like to turn some of your notes into a blog post one day.

The tallest building in Iowa is 44 stories in Des Moines, and it's far more affordable than any of the three. But I would never call DM a skyscraper city.

EDIT: Downvoters, what's up? Do you object to "Tallest building in IA is 44 stories" or "DM is more affordable" or "DM is not a skyscraper city"? None of these are particularly controversial, and the first two are empirically true.
Yes, I think that's true, although the magnitude of the effect is hard to determine, and I think is likely to be very small.

If the average purchaser of a particular class of good (say, eggs) is making 10xUBI post-tax, then getting one unit of UBI in addition to their base salary shifts the demand curve enough that you'd expect to see a price increase proportional to that increase -- so a dozen eggs goes from costing .05xUBI to .055xUBI, purely as an economic rent.

But for a person making less than the average salary, like 2xUBI or 0xUBI, their egg-purchasing power increases dramatically. A 2xUBI person previously could afford to buy 40 units of egg, and can now afford 54 eggs, a 36% increase in their buying power.
The internal combustion engine seems to have been milked for all the efficiency our current materials can get out of it, while new materials and economies of scale in solar tech keep pushing prices lower. However, material science could also revolutionize the efficiency of engines and make them cost competitive with solar again. Solar-ification seems to be the trend, but it is not guaranteed.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don't mean to insinuate in any way that you or your team support any particular ideology, I merely wanted to make you aware of an unfortunate namespace collision.

Which Programming Language Is Best for Job Placements?
I really like how stupid easy that index page is to read and understand. These seem like pretty good docs.

Some of the documentation is missing, so I'm not sure if I missed this or not. But can you make a pipeline out of independently configured jobs? Or a pipeline of pipelines? Often you'll want to chain jobs or pipelines that are owned by different groups. I imagine they support this, if they support teams...

Why does this shock you in a city with such a ridiculously high crime rate for specific demographics? People are making conclusions - some of them less than ideal - based on observation. The only way that's going to stop is if the murder rate stops being similar to a sub-saharan african country.

That’s fine to be skeptical but they are a design and consulting firm. Makes sense that they could bang something nice out and if it’s popular the link back will help their seo and perhaps directly get them business.
I suppose "under" is perhaps a stronger term than I really want, since it did in fact work out. I agree that Debian, indeed, fulfilled exactly what it needed, but only what it definitely needed right then; a minimum viable product that turned out to be sufficent. RH built for everything that they could imagine ever needing, and left options to extend for anything they didn't think of in advance. Perhaps "just enough"-engineered vs over-engineered?
Thanks for the advise! I haven't been working on it because I didn't really know where to start and I had to learn solidity.
Rents are always going to be high for any dense city, but lighter touch regulations can make it less sprawled and car-centric. The transit-oriented development policies mentioned do just that.

Donald Shoup is a transit scholar who has shown in detail the distorting effects of mandatory minimum parking requirements.

Here is a better article published a day before this one which gives more details and actually lists their sources.

This is in line with my anecdotal experience. A few of my coworkers got Oculus go when it first came out, and all of them ended up returning it. The only thing it seems to be good for is watching normal non-VR content, which they don't need a VR headset for. It doesn't have enough power for gaming.

I could see it being useful like, on airplanes or something, but I don't think we're at a place yet socially where someone could wear a VR headset on a plane and not look like a weirdo/pervert.
I am intrigued by your ideas and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I bought and love the Oculus Go and I also have an Oculus Rift. It fills the spot my tablet used to fill for watching stuff and consuming media in bed.

Also watching / listening to ASMR on the Oculus Go in bed is a very relaxing almost therapeutic experience.

I live in an unincorporated area two blocks from the border of Chicago.

By getting the whole "municipality" thing out of the way and falling under county jurisdiction, property taxes are reasonable (and we pay for emergency services from adjacent municipalities), lot sizes are bigger, more choice over who delivers our services (like, say, trash), and we have the benefits of both Chicago and the surrounding areas.

Granted, Cook County and the State of Illinois all have their problems with unfunded pensions, but removing one layer definitely helps.
This is a decade old, but I think that the proportions are still about right: https://desline.com/Geneva/Banat.pdf

See the slide "Cost composition for a typical seawater RO (reverse osmosis) plant"

Fixed charges (primarily capital cost): 31%

Energy: 26%

Maintenance and parts: 14%

Membrane replacement: 13%

Supervision and labor: 9%

Chemicals: 7%

Really cheap solar electricity could reduce the second largest expense (energy costs), but right now that's just an improvement for daylight hours. Battery-stored solar electricity is getting cheaper but it's not cheap enough to actually reduce nighttime desalination costs yet. And if you run the plant only during the day, you get less value out of the very largest expense (capital cost).

Not to mention training users to trust all the BS local CAs popping up now that can then MITM traffic.

You say that as if users don't already mindlessly dismiss most warnings already. I'm not convinced this would be that big of a difference from the current system.
WASM instructions are fairly straightforward so an obfuscator can be written quite easily. I could easily create a proxy tool that introduces randomization/non-determinism on a per download basis if it were worth it. There is no execution of arbitrary memory so there are limits. JS can create new WASM mods and link them at runtime, but invocations across import/export might have a performance hit. But moving around functions, subdividing functions, etc is really easy.

Also, the paper has Emscripten-specific reverse engineering details (such as locations in the mem for where stack starts vs where heap starts) that don't apply to many other WASM compilers.
What are you recommending people should buy that is as easy to use and maintain as a Mac?
Chicago is definitely enough of a 'big city' that people choose to forego car ownership.

I work in an office of developers, and people only tend to get a car once they have kids, and then they only have one car for the family.

I completely understand where you're coming from. If you aren't a developer, then some of what I'm about to say won't apply to you, but here's one switcher's perspective:

In 2016, I refused to buy a MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar and butterfly keyboard. I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad P50 instead, the first time in 25 years my "next computer" hadn't been a Mac.

I'm a developer whose work ends up running mostly on Linux servers. So I tried various ways of replicating my Unixy macOS development environment on the Thinkpad: running VMWare VMs on top of Windows, using WSL, booting Linux natively, using Docker for Windows. You name it, I've tried it. And in truth, my development environment has never felt as effortless as when I was using macOS. Two years in, it just hasn't been a very satisfying experience. There are too many sharp edges at multiple levels (hardware and software).

However, there is a counterpoint to this. In January, against my better judgement, I bought a 2017 15" MacBook Pro, with the idea of being more compatible with a client. Unfortunately, I hated that machine even more than I thought I would. I never got used to the keyboard, I got tired of needing a dongle to plug anything in, the battery life was worse than two generations of MacBook Pro before it, etc. And frankly, in so many ways, macOS no longer "just works" the way it used to. So, two weeks ago I sold that machine at a big loss. The most expensive Apple laptop I ever bought was also the worst.

So where does that leave me? Pretty unhappy, to be honest. Apple no longer makes any computers that meet my needs or that I want to buy, and I question their commitment to professional macOS users who aren't iOS developers.

On the other hand, IMO, Windows still isn't there for professional developers who mostly work in the Linux world. WSL still has a lot of sharp edges, missing features, and lackluster I/O performance, and I've never been able to get my Thinkpad P50 to work acceptably well booting Ubuntu natively. But even if I had gotten it to work acceptably, there are other downsides, like needing Photoshop, Word, and Excel on a pretty regular basis. So I've been running Linux inside VMWare Workstation on Windows 10, which isn't exactly frictionless, either, especially now that VMWare has abandoned Unity Mode for Linux.

TLDR: Two years ago, I switched from macOS to Windows/Linux after being an Apple user for more than 25 years. I've not been very happy with the switch, but I also can't see returning to Apple under the circumstances. In hindsight, the Snow Leopard era was the height of my experience as a computer user. It's been pretty much downhill since then.
Any chance you'd record the lectures like the 2012 iteration? Seems that the discussions are a big part of this pedagogical approach; and those are better captured through videos than notes/books. Also, the latest version of PaPL book doesn't seem to incorporate the mystery languages. Is there a plan to include them in the book?
