Most databases are quite unfit for the serverless world that's becoming a reality, where the needs shift towards global replication, flexible horizontal scalability (sharding) and vertical (provisioned QPS).

We like and use CosmosDB because it fits this criteria. We anticipate that Google Spanner, CockroachDB and similar databases will become the go-tos in combination with ZEIT Now.

The company I work at manufactures these instruments. There are a bunch of videos on Youtube explaining how these systems work if you search for "flow sorting". I can also answer questions if you have them.
We're supposed to realize that it isn't a "fact". It's a study that has produced interesting results that point to something, but until more research is done, it doesn't mean anything yet.

If that's your version of "negative", then yes, we should look negatively on it.

But more correctly, we should look skeptically on it. Just like all other studies that haven't been replicated scientifically.
Minor quibble, but Airbnb doesn't own the hosts' homes or apartments, and Uber doesn't own the drivers' cars.

Renting is an accurate descriptor of Netflix or Kindle (and Google Play movies actually does have "rent" on the label of the button when you want to rent a movie). And I can see what you mean from the perspective of the guest or rider, but not from the perspective of the host or driver.
>>Then add in the ticking clock anxiety, that I don't feel like I have time to breathe, much less patiently tease out a solution to the problem.

The worst part about this is if you get the first attempt wrong. Then you have very little time to start again and go to a working solution.

By then your anxiety begins to multiply.
Many users do not even know that keyboard layouts can be changed. I think you are hugely overestimating the effort spent in this. I understand this could be tricky for QEMU, but emulators are always tricky. They are exceptional, not the norm.

And what I don't understand, is how it would work in your ideal world. Let's assume we do not allow users to change keyboard layouts. How do I input characters for different languages? Am I supposed to have a different keyboard for every language or do I need a keyboard than can change layouts? Would those keyboards be included in laptops? How is this simpler than keyboard layouts in the OS?

I do not say you would have to define a key for every Unicode character, but if the OS is expecting Unicode, either you have to define some way to send it from the keyboard, or you implement in the OS some mapping, but at that point you would just be using Unicode characters as scancodes and we would be back at square one.

No, and I don't think any mental health professional would. This isn't exactly causing problems for either you or society. It caused a problem in your previous job, but it wouldn't cause a problem for most jobs you could do.
Yep. As it is all controlled by software, this is being done today already.

Yes, I agree. And to improve financial literacy has proven to be a very hard, there's just too much noise when talking about money. We've seen mutual funds in LATAM charge up to 7% and for some reason nobody seems to care.

When the majority of vehicles are electric, I can see the case being made for all vehicles to have noise-emission limits. Noise pollution is a serious health issue in cities, and could be a new target once emissions pollution is largely taken care of.
I fear it will be the complete opposite. Once Netflix decides something is no longer worth streaming to your country there is no way to get at it again. Compared to the possibility of going to a second hand market looking for a dvd-set I’d say the situation will be worse for old movies.
Actually, even better:

You use dat or MaidSAFE to write client side apps. The back end is end to end encrypted, secure, automatically rebalanced, uncensorable, permissionless, and people install your app and use a cryptocurrency to pay for resources.

And of course you use public key cryptography to maintain your app and upgrades propagate without needing to select a domain or host for them.

What Thanos' Snap Can Teach Us About Product Development
This shouldn't be a surprise. Ownership comes with maintenance costs, and maintenance requires time. Americans work more than most developed nations [1] and work more than they used to. American commutes have also increased [2] steadily over the last 30 years. Given that, is there any surprise that Americans are less willing to own, and maintain, their things than they used to be?

Until you discover that the thing you are building requires more than a single application running in a single container and you end up building an entire "Operating System" around your containers and the circle starts all over again.

Complexity is hardly ever in the solution, but mostly in the problem. Single solutions to complex problems often ignore/forget important parts of the problem and they come back to bite you, hard.
Well my point is you can make that backup now for any books you already purchased and if they change it in the future you can decide to not buy any more books. Spotify doesn't let you buy any music so I have never wanted to strip its DRM and haven't even looked into how to do it.
A huge portion of why Turkey is such a mess right now is the United States' Syria policy. Turkey, by mere proximity, shared an unbalanced burden in the Syria fallout and the United States did nothing to aid them. This allowed Erdogan to seize more power and encouraged him to grow closer to China and Russia.

I agree it shouldn't be framed as man vs woman, but see my other comments about the complexities of this.

Also, the #metoo movement is pretty dangerous in the sense that prominent people in it are seeking legal frameworks and changes. See my comment about Heidi Matthews's interview and take on me too on the Owls at Dawn podcast.

You can't help how you feel. If you fall in love with someone at work or in academia or in some other type of "position of authority," do we now need contracts to ensure the relationship is wanted by both parties?

That would be the legal requirement, and .. do you need another contract to break up? Maybe you should give your partner two weeks notice?

I feel like there are a lot of deep complexities here and really difficult questions, more than a simple harassment complaint. I think the people ruling on this complaint must have felt the same way.

I think back to some of my partners. I can't imagine having all our personal e-mails and notes put on display for a committee to decide the nature of our relationship. What world are we living in?
In Ohio, a moped must have pedals and are governed under special laws distinct from scooters and motorcycles.

Either 2 wheels or 3 wheels (1 front and 2 rear).
The vehicle must be capable of being pedaled as well as carrying a helper motor, which cannot:

―Be capable of producing more than 1 HP.
―Obtain a maximum speed greater than 20 MPH on a level surface.

How to create a website like this
>ebooks have wildly improved the footnote experience

I actually disagree with that one--at least for certain types of footnotes. When I was an IT industry analyst I got into the habit of using footnotes at the bottom of the page to provide parenthetical detail, substantiation, caveats, etc. that I thought might be useful but which would break up the flow of the writing. On the page, this works well because you can just glance down. On an ereader, it's often more distracting than just putting it inline would be.

For just references that you'll only sometimes want to look at, it's fine but for the way I often use them, I liked the old way better.

I mostly agree with your broader point. The fact that used books are often cheaper and you can't typically lend your ebook when you're done probably also contribute.
Just wanted to tell you that yes, you really do have a valid point here. Society isn't ready to confront this in 2018 though, so it won't stop us both getting downvoted to oblivion. Take this as me tilting a glass in your direction before a wave of hate sinks the ship.
> I'm honestly aghast at the utter elitism coming out of Google and Facebook

I presume it's Google and Facebook's extremely high hiring bar that you're attributing to elitism? Let me attempt to reframe that for you in a way that I hope will let you let go of some of the anger I'm picking up on:

There's no denying that Google and Facebook target top-tier institutions and put their candidates through hell. However, I don't attribute this to elitism. I personally got my start at a less-than-stellar CS program, and I go out of my way to recruit there as an alum. I've detected no elitism from any recruiters, interviewers, or hiring managers, and I've seen a number of people hired as interns and full time engineers as a direct result of my outreach. If Google were as elitist an organization as you seem to think, I and the people I've helped get hired would never have had a chance.

So then what explains the high bar? Simple necessity. I can't share details, but the number of applications we receive for every opening is staggering. What's more, when we approach people in industry and academia, we see a high rate of interest. The blunt truth is that we are more selective about hiring because we can be. When a hundred people (not real figures) apply for each available posting and your hiring pipeline is staffed well enough to interview all of them, you'd better believe you're going to hire the best one in that pool. This isn't a Google thing, this isn't a Facebook thing, this is a rational actor thing.

So no, I don't think you're stupid for coming up with a suboptimal solution, I have no reason to think you're a bad engineer, and I wouldn't reject you because your background. However, given a pool of candidates of whom some got as far as solution 3 and some got as far as solution 1, I'm going to more enthusiastically recommend hiring the ones who got solution 3.

What scale is that? As far as I know, within the US, fox has wider reach than Facebook, and it's under no such obligation, and the US is perhaps the only nation that's going to force the definition of free speech you propose on Facebook. Europe certainly won't.
Think about how vaporizing dry plant material works: you're using low, sustained heat to vaporize the oils without igniting anything. You're still inhaling a viscus substance, and there are going to be negative consequences to that. You're also going to vaporize things other substances in the plant matter that may not exist in the oil/wax forms depending on extraction method.

TL;dr- Vaping is better than smoking, but that still doesn't mean it's harmless or "good".

They're fun, but extremely dangerous and commuting regularly on one increases the odds you'll get hurt. There's some risk with bicycling too, but I think when there's an added motor it's easier to be going to fast and hit gravel without really realizing it.
First point:

Excerpt: "The great American teenage dream used to be to own your own car. That is dwindling in favor of urban living, greater reliance on mass transit, cycling, walking and, of course, ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft."

The teenage dream is not to own the car but to get to where they want to go, e.g., autonomy to see their friends, go to activities. When the consumer says they want a quarter of an inch drill bit, what they actually want is a quarter of an inch hole in a particular wall. The author doesn't seem to appreciate the difference.

Second point:

The right to repair or alter devices you own, e.g., farmer hacking their own tractors -- that part I agree with.
You can't ride a two wheel vehicle on icy roads and it takes a ridiculous amount of clothing to keep warm.

I'd estimate that when I lived in Indiana, I got the motorcycle out at least once a week in winter. Wait for the snowplows, let the cars dry things out, sorted. One of the more motorcycle-crazy towns I know is...wait for it...Minneapolis. So your hard-core nut jobs will ride regardless.

But let's talk about real people with real levels of sanity. So their scooter business dips for three months out of the year. No way their business plan could have accounted for that.

it takes a ridiculous amount of clothing to keep warm

It takes an electric vest that pulls 50W. With a jacket on top, that keeps me warm to the 30s at 70mph. A speed-limited scooter could get by with much less. Being battery-powered, there are limits to what one could attach to these scooters, but even electric hand grips will take a surprising amount of chill off. And electrically-heated seats are not unheard of.

But enough apologetics, let's get to the "so what?". Fine, these companies don't go where a flake of snow ever falls. That only leaves us with congested cities such as Houston, San Diego, Seattle, SF...
The term is "motor scooter". Just like a motorcycle is a bicycle with an engine, these are scooters with motors.

A moped does have to have pedals and there are some companies making them. But the entire thing is an anachronistic shell game. These are all motorcycles, just of lesser power/ability. They only exist because of silly legal classifications that mean little on a modern street. Everyone on the street riding something with two wheels and a motor should get a motorcycle license, a helmet, and be subject to proper emission controls.

I find it interesting that this article doesn't mention the Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) debacle. The political mess surrounding ART is far from entirely due to BYD, but ART placed what I believe is the largest order so far for 60-foot electric buses from BYD. The comment about driving the 60-foot units long distances with generators is the way that they've delivered the first several units.

The situation has decayed to the point that Albuquerque has considered trying to terminate the contract. The first several units delivered have had significant quality problems, and recently the city's inspector general released a report suggesting that audits showing the buses comply with Buy America regulations were falsified and they are potentially ineligible for expected federal grants. Workers in the city transportation department have voiced concerns about many of the components on the buses being apparently manufactured in China and lacking US certification marks and, in some cases, English documentation. Delivery on the remaining buses in the order continues to move farther back.

The City went into the project understanding that the 60-foot buses were a new product for BYD, and even expects federal funding from a grant program for employing new technologies. But at this point BYD is a significant part of the near complete failure of a major project built around their product. It seems worth mentioning that their customers are not all happy.

To ART's credit, the city IG reports that massive pressure for the city forced BYD to begin delivering units earlier than they otherwise would have (but still significantly behind schedule).

https://www.abqjournal.com/1182473/report-criticizes-art-pro...
https://www.abqjournal.com/1182905/report-company-sent-fault...

Part of the grant program the city is using to fund the project is that the city will send one or two units to an FTA facility for inspection and testing. That testing is expected to result in the FTA certifying the model for future non-experimental federal grant programs, but most people involved in the ART project now have significant doubts about whether or not BYD will be able to deliver units that pass this process.
He has become insufferable, especially with broad statements/generalizations like this, and that is why I stopped reading his blog or his articles many years ago (except when posted on sites like HN). And the evidence cites is weak.

I'm having trouble finding US-wide data for average commute distance, but Appendix B here https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Srvy_Jo... breaks it down by metro area. It seems like most people in most places commute 8 miles or less, which matches my intuition. At those distances a 35mph scooter will generally get you where you're going at least as fast as a car, unless you've got a straight shot on the freeway and there's little to no traffic.

I don't agree with your Winnie hijack unless you add "systematic" to that as well, like you did in the next sentence.

Perhaps the answer is that there is no systematic interviewing system that actually works well. It seems like trying to create one was the origin of all this pain, and the cargo-culting by companies that don't need a systematic process has amplified it.

Interviewing is an inherently social, inherently subjective process. Such things are highly resistant to systematic approaches.
Also true of far right ideologies like Nazism and racial supremacy. Generally speaking, identity politics are tribal because they're about identity.
