70% of rentable units in San Francisco are rent-controlled. I know many very high paid people who pay well below “market rate” for their apartments. If you do it right you can live in SF for less than many “cheaper” cities and yet make much more money.
I guess I wasn't clear enough. Using the median certainly works better if you're looking at the population of "all 2BR apartments." But, I would contend that's a mistake, as luxury apartments are really fundamentally different from non-luxury apartments. And, among luxury apartments, individual amenities matter. A pool is likely to be less relevant than a doorman, for instance.

Statistically, I don't see any good way around this other than doing a really gnarly ANOVA to tease out the prices of individual amenities.
It is actually true. Please post how one can easily mitigate extreme volatility. I'm all ears.

> but it’s not our opinion that determines the law, it’s the Supreme Court’s

The Supreme Court's authority comes from the Constitution. As such, while the Court can rule that a law is unconstitutional, they have no power to permit something which the Constitution specifically prohibits the government from doing (such as infringing on the freedom of speech). All their consistency on this issue implies is they have been failing to do their job and uphold the freedom of speech as plainly written in the First Amendment for a very long time.
Cool use of SR-IOV, I like it.
We've done a few (academic) experiments with SR-IOV for flow bifurcation and we've wondered why no one seems to use it like this. The performance was quite good: neglible performance difference between PF and a single VF and only 5-10% when running multiple >= 8 VFs (probably cache contention somewhere in our specific setup).

You seem to be running this on X540 NICs, aren't you running into limitations for the VFs. Mostly the number of queues which I believe is limited to 2 per VF in the ixgbe family.
I wonder whether the AF_XDP DPDK driver could be used instead if SR-IOV isn't available or feasible for some reason.

A more detailed look at performance would have been cool. I might try it myself if I find some time (or a student) :)
As long as zoning and housing markets remain as dysfunctional as they are, you get to enjoy the benefits of housing going up 20+% per year.

Leverage to the hilt, get a million-dollar home, keep it for three years, pocket a cool 500k.

Obviously this time it's different, and housing shall continue it's spectacular bull run forever.
Depends on how much they want you, they might accommodate. Obviously this is unlikely to work if you're fresh out of school and have no track record to speak of.

You are not asking for anything extra here, you're just asking, de facto, for conditions that would let you value the options part of your compensation at anything greater than zero. You got dinged for it on the base salary after all, and it costs the company very close to zero to give you this paper wealth. If the contract is abusive, you can be sure you'll be treated 100% in line with the letter of the contract and your options are very likely to be worth nothing.

Don't be afraid to offend, this is just business. Don't speak in confrontational tone either though, and be prepared to walk away, just like in any other negotiation. The worst outcome is nothing changes, but you had that to begin with. If you're aggressive, the second move will be an email from the company lawyer telling you the changes you've suggested are out of the question. After that, if you're prepared to walk away, they will agree to a part or all of it.

The net benefit of this is you could introduce numerous improvements into your option contract if you succeed, i.e. eliminate or weaken the clawback clauses, negotiate early exercise, take care of accelerated vesting or option replacement in case of an acquisition (otherwise you could be left with literally nothing after the exit), vastly extend the exercise window (from the default 0-90 days after you leave to many years), negotiate that you get to keep shares if you're _fired_, etc, etc. A good lawyer could write a thick tome on this, and you're NOT going to be able to learn it in your spare time.

If equity is substantial, and you think it might eventually be worth anything, I also advise hiring a tax accountant with experience in such matters. There are different types of stock options, with different levels of taxation (conditioned on your exercise strategy). Under some strategies you could end up on the hook for six-seven figure amounts of tax even though you can't sell your shares, and might never be able to do so.

But for most startups, given the low probability of success and the many ways you can be screwed (dilution, clawback, liquidation preferences, etc) you'd need to have A LOT of faith in your startup (and in the soundness of your options contract) to exercise early.

If you do nothing else, try to negotiate that: a). You're not required to sell _vested_ stock back to the company if you leave / or even get fired, b). You get _something_, preferably full, immediate vesting, in the event of an acquisition, c). Your exercise window spans many years after you leave, so that if the startup does exit you can get something for the vested portion of your option without exercising it before you leave (and potentially exposing yourself to massive reaming by the IRS).

None of the above is a replacement for proper legal / tax advice though, it's merely a distillation of the advice I received that was applicable to my particular circumstances at the time.
I wasn't suggesting this as a serious method of organizing your project - merely pointing out that this quick hack can be done and is rather straightforward. And I did actually see it once or twice in the wild.

When people complain about the quality of “music these days” they are almost always complaining about the most popular stuff that’s being endlessly promoted, which, yes, is mostly garbage. But the sheer quantity and variety of non-top-40 misic available today is mind boggling. I thought as I got older my musical tastes would calcify like my dad’s and his dad’s, remaining stuck in one decade, but the opposite has happened. I’m over 40 and am listening to more new (and new to me) music than at any time in my life. It’s just not the endless barrage of Drake and Taylor Swift.

How do you "do it right?"
> No, I want specific laws or policies from government. I'm not denying that there is racism in the US, but the government does not encourage or implement racism to my knowledge. Most of what you describe is illegal in the US.

It doesn't matter and I frankly don't care what you want. Slavery was technically illegal after the Civil War and yet you still had Jim Crow; similarly racism is technically illegal but there continues to be systemic racism in the US, whether or not promoted by Government policy. To the millions of African-Americans incarcerated for possession of Marijuana, it doesn't matter whether there are protections for minorities, because the laws are not enforced. The War on Drugs was a euphemism for a war on minority communities.

> It is more nuanced as you suggest, the difference is that the government of China is busy locking up muslims, and the US is busy passing anti discrimination laws.

No, its not that simple either. The US is busy locking up immigrants... what do you say to that? Or about locking up minorities for minor infractions, while whites go scot-free?
What about that?

Its not simple, which is why it must not be compared. You are allowed to criticize China for its human rights record, but they are equally free to criticize you for yours. What is not OK is to spread the lie that the US is some sort of utopia of human rights when its clearly not, and has not been ever since its inception.
The indignant tone of this is strange to me. The internet is an open free-for-all, servers receive all sorts of odd requests, not every byte you ingress is some nice human asking for a web page or image. Surprise.

How a High Schooler Beat Georgia Tech in Robotics
"The rents seem absurd to me- $1300 for a one bedroom apartment?"

I think these numbers are unduly skewed by the relatively very large build-out of condo buildings that has occurred in Minneapolis in the past 4-5 years.

Prior to 2005 (or so) Minneapolis was a very, very white-flighted downtown area with only a very few condo buildings extant. The notion of living in downtown minneapolis, to most metro area residents, was a weird and wild one.

So now, there is a huge influx of supply but it is all made up of "luxury" units that I believe are going online, in the market, with very optimistic rent numbers. I believe those newly online rental units are skewing the number upwards...
What about prep time? Calories-per-dollar / prep time. That might be a factor, especially with the long hours many poor people face.

Very sad news. RIP, Mr. Weinberg.
You can pry my keyboard from my cold dead hands. No way I'd want to use a virtual keyboard with no tactile feedback. I try to avoid typing my phone whenever possible as it is already.
And most people will optimize for all those factors as well. We aren't saying that you have to pick the doctor with the absolute highest scores, only that there is another factor to rationally consider which shouldn't be there.
I personally love how fast and responsive the experience is. I would be fine if the sites were also that fast and responsive, but since they're not always, I'm glad Google stepped in and ensured they would be for me.
Yes, when I eat fast food, it's always from the value menu. But if you're strapped for cash, $3 per meal on a consistent basis still adds up, compared to <$1 meals prepared at home and ready to grab from the fridge.

Certainly convenience & taste is a factor in these decisions as well, but if the primary pain point is raw cost for your baseline consumption because you have no money to spare, you really should be kitchen-based.

Of course, all of this assumes that one is being financially sensitive, and not just impulse spending without realizing how much is trickling out. Too many people I know who struggle with their meager finances (even if they make similar or more than I do) are entirely too flippant and just go for the $10 combo meal, not realizing how often they're "treating themselves" and how it's adding up against their monthly balance.
If you are a family or couple renting a 2BR, you probably have more than one income earner. Exception to this case would be a single parent with children, but that rate is not especially high. And smaller households (i.e., just a couple, or a single mother and one child, etc.) are not especially likely to get a 2BR.

If you are a single person with a single income, you are not renting a 2BR. You might have a roommate, but in that case you are a two income household splitting the rent on a 2BR.

Single income for 2BR is such an odd case to base an entire statistic around.

Not sure why you find it necessary to draw such a firm distinction between subsidies, tariffs and the many other ways that firms can obtain advantages via crony capitalist schemes created in cahoots with sympathetic (if not corrupt) regulators.

Firms are going to be clever and will find ways to have laws passed that give them advantages over other firms.

This is one reason Zuck said he thinks Facebook should be regulated. As the biggest player in the space, Facebook can afford to hire the lawyers and additional staff necessary to comply with such regulation. Smaller firms on the other hand will be less able to afford this and so the regulation serves as a barrier to competition that insulates Facebook from competition.

Government crony deals come in all different shapes and sizes. In the early 2000s the government gave a big handout to oil companies by changing the accounting rules, allowing the firms to sell lots of oil at a massive profit without having to claim the profit, since they could suddenly consider the "cost" of the oil based on LIFO rather than FIFO. This small change gifted the industry with billions of dollars that would otherwise have been paid in corporate tax.

You might think that all these crony deals are a good thing and are just capitalism in action. Quite the contrary. Firms should be innovating better products and services, not figuring out ways to come up with sweet deals with regulators that give them advantages and steal from society or unfairly harm smaller, non-incumbent firms.

And to be sure, whenever those policies can be framed as being essential to national security, they will be, as this helps make the crony capitalism harder for the average person to spot and lets the jingoistic ideal of "helping our firms vs foreign firms" be the focal point.
> Apple doesn’t try to shove ads in your face (except in the App Store, which seems fair enough)

And how much of Apple's current behavior is simply a product of luxury they can afford just as long as they're in the money?

What behaviors will Apple exhibit when their demands begin to outstrip their resources? It's a very large for-profit corporation, don't be so myopic.

> I spoke too broadly - apparently, some countries (including France, Spain, Poland and Italy) do have different courts for civil and criminal matters. Other countries do not (including Germany, Sweden, Hungary and Slovakia) [0].

Not "some countries" ... All countries have different criminal and civil codes, and therefore courts, and judges, and lawyers, and ... all different. I'm pretty interested which country, exactly, only has a single system across criminal and civil law. Common law has the separation, Napoleonic code has the separation, see next paragraph for explanation why that's pretty much enough to declare it true for the entire world.

> I have only read briefly, but noted two things to start with: the document in English clearly states that it only describes the French system (even though other countries are mentioned at times), and it is also 60 years old. But even so:

I feel like, again, I need to quote a bit, not even of "law 101", but the basic explanation they give when they have someone tour the law faculty. There are 2 modern law "systems" that pretty much all other law is based upon. One is Common law, the other is the law introduced by Napoleon, in 1804, referred to in English as the Napoleonic code, and adopted in all countries he conquered. To a rough approximation you could say that any country that was not a colony of Britain has the Napoleonic code as a legal basis (including countries that claim different for one reason or another, like Saudi Arabia that claims to have Sharia, but upon even cursory examination that will strike you as a very hollow claim)

The "partie civil" process is a part of Napoleonic code (references for this, obviously, are in French legalese).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Code (note the separation between civil and criminal courts in a very old document, which is why it's so widely used) and ... given the mistakes you make ... perhaps you might consider speaking with a bit less authority ?

> If this is as common as you claim, it should not be difficult to find recent sources which support it.

And the resources I pointed out do describe this, and yes, I get it. It's law ... the sources where law is condensed are not free, and cannot be linked to, ancient books that do describe it are more-or-less in Google books, but they're still pretty technical and long-winded.

Also, for obvious reasons, most "intro to law" for any particular Napoleonic code is not in English. The good ones are in French.

The $250 Biohack That’s Revolutionizing Life with Diabetes
The surprising was sarcasm ;)
Just to offer a counterpoint (and I'm happy to discuss), Vulkan has much better load-balancing and resource-sharing potential than OpenGL.

Resource Sharing:

--------------------

Vulkan requires the application provide verbose information about the features being used. Vulkan also reports the number and types of heaps, their sizes, and detailed information on the max number of each type of resource the application can allocate.

OpenGL allows the application to just "go for it," allocate resources without bound [1], and the driver will attempt to "make it work." The only way the application knows it has reached a limit is when the driver finally fails with GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY.

When the driver and OS need to move resources around, such as if the GPU's memory is exhausted, Vulkan applications are much easier to manage. A Vulkan application's memory will be clearly structured so that the driver can identify little-used resources and relocate them so that the next application can get the resources it needs.

Load Balancing:

-------------------

Vulkan requires the application to be much more explicit about which queues and devices the application will be using, and even what priority the application places on different loads.

OpenGL again has no such concept. An application can only access OpenGL from a single thread, and OpenGL just lets the application "go for it."

When the driver and OS need to load balance, a Vulkan application is much easier to load balance. Any rendering or compute in Vulkan is explicitly defined with clear fences, transitions and barriers. The OpenGL application's only mode of operation is "why didn't this run faster?" The GPU vendor's OpenGL driver contains hundreds of application-specific tweaks to the OpenGL API to try to accomodate one particular application. The GPU vendor's Vulkan driver has not been around long enough to accumulate much of that bitrot.

In summary, neither API explicitly triggers load-shedding behavior in the application. The Android app lifecycle is a completely different story.

On desktop machines, Vulkan and OpenGL applications are designed with very few constraints. They mostly are expected to be the main or only application running, and expect to run on machines with medium or high-end specs. The OS and driver manage load-sharing and resource-sharing silently behind the scenes. With Vulkan, however, the OS and driver have a much easier time for the reasons discussed above.

I recommend Vulkan strongly for all new development.

It's honestly blowing my mind how universal and non-substantive the complaints here actually are.

The actual article is a legitimate issue and should be looked into (and sounds like it is), but the vitriol for AMP voiced here is crazy, considering what it does (very little).
Good for Twitter. The key takeaway here is the stance that "Twitter should not be the arbiter of truth" -- if this particular account doesn't violate Twitter policy (based on what I see on his feed, it all looks pretty benign), Twitter is right to not jump on the bandwagon of "let's try to ban this guy from the internet".
> No the question was whether or not national sovereignty justifies criminal behavior.

No you are wrong again. The question was whether its OK to cease all trade with a country solely because of its questionable human rights record. I pointed out that its not. That Sovereign countries have the legal right to do certain things and must be dealt with in an appropriate way.

It is the same argument made, by the way, when the US wants to justify buying oil from the Middle East, none of whose countries have a stellar record regarding human rights.
So first: most jobs require you to do a lot of stuff that you may not agree with or feel is useful. I don't want to work with the person who is going to only do what they want when they want. At the end of the day the work needs to get done.

Secondly: any school that has GPA is essentially holding a contest. Many job postings consider GPA and may use it as a tiebreaker between 2 canidates from school X. It's not a perfect metric by any means, but it is relevant in the world today for new hires.

Work in the real world is largely the ability to deliver on expectations.
