Since WW2, the "wars" have been mismatched to the extreme (never mind that in both world wars USA came in late, and never had its industrial capacity threatened).

The closest to a symmetrical war was in Korea, after China sent troops. And that war has never really been resolved.
Exactly, I've seen the same with sales. Some companies put all their effort into sales and marketing, but the product turns out to be crap.

Memory usage in FF with lots of tabs seems a bit better than Chrome, CPU usage seems a bit worse. I think the UI does a significantly better job of handling them though, since Chrome just shrinks everything until there's no text left.

About a year ago FF was really awful with lots of tabs, CPU usage was very high and the UI would occasionally freeze up for 10+ seconds at a time. They're really been making some big performance improvements lately.

Sometimes, sometimes not.

One example of judges not taking a law literally is the Aereo case. Aereo was a company that aimed to provide over-the-air TV as an on-demand internet service. They tried to get around paying retransmission fees by hosting small personal antennas that would transmit to small personal receivers for each customer. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that since they were basically performing the same services as a cable company, the retransmission fees applied, regardless of the pointless technical setup with individual antennas and receivers:

Yeah if you created a hugely popular and successful framework, or are a technical fellow at Google, you don’t even need an interview. But for slightly lower bars of “best” I think you would be surprised just at how bad many people even with decent credentials can be.

I just can’t envision a scenario where a company is one I’m interested in working in (good pay, good work, good culture) and where I’m not willing to try to work there due to a one day interview, no matter how good I am. I’m by no means “the best” but I would only go through the process of changing employers/possibly even moving if tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars were at stake, and a day is not much time to spend for that.
"bat" is not a better version of cat, it's a completely different tool. cat is short for concatenate. If you want to view a file use less, and if you want syntax highlighting etc. then use view (comes with vim).
I've been reading about VC and all it entails for years now, and it always leaves me with a sketchy feeling. Pouring so much time and effort into chasing capital, and then giving up so much ownership and being on the hook for big returns once it's finally attained... seems like a sure way to suck the soul out of any business.

Not saying VC doesn't have a place in the world, but I get the sense that a lot of founders pursue VC just because that's what startups are "supposed" to do.

Some of those are good reasons that someone would have a harder time in life, but AA doesn't look at that; it looks solely at your race.

>Minority neighborhoods are also flooded with fast food chains because these corporations have made it clear that they are targeting these populations.

I'm honestly not sure how you can look at that as anything but minorities like fast food so corporations build there.
Please don't assert that someone's beliefs or advocacy about a political movement make them wrong about facts. Classic ad hominem fallacy. Listening to people making sound arguments about X even though you disagree with them about Y is healthy, and the lack of this health is a major intellectual problem of this century in my humble opinion. Listen more, judge less. Post and watch more things from people with whom you disagree. And don't shut people down just because their views on unrelated topics are not palatable to you.
You can also make a 3d game of large scale, and just let it have hiccups occasionally and still make a billion dollars.

McDonalds is a great example of this. Minimum wage is headed to $15/hr and they've replaced 80% of the front counter staff with self-order kiosks. Grocery stores can have one person running 4+ self-checkout counters at teh grocery store, and the "gig economy" is just companies skirting minimum wage and benefits via contractors. It's like my childhood paper route for 50 cents an hour all over again...

Which is true, but I think misses the point. It's not that AirBnB is in and of itself bad, but there are good and bad places to rent with respect to the neighborhood.

Consider something like the Outer Banks for North Carolina, where nearly all the homes are rented out for vacationers. There's an expectation and knowledge of what to expect from the neighborhood (for example, multi-hour delays on the weekends as move in/out happens).

That's a very different situation from buying a home in a neighborhood and then having every 3rd house turn into a hotel.
Problem is that not everything on Slack is... "productive"... (Though the same could be true for e-mail.)
Yes, that's true. I'm paying the small duplication cost in exchange for removing enums' cumbersome limitations. Not saying I never use them, but I usually end up regretting it when I do :)
Do people not realize that leave benefits decrease wages? Some will abuse this. Most will not use it at all.

Though to be fair the state of new york has lower per capita carbon emission than California, though I think that mostly has to do with the density of new york city.

You can do that, and people do. However a GC language doesn't normally give you the flexibility of getting a block of memory and doing whatever you want inside it, instead you use things like object pools.
Nuclear is only expensive because the current climate from anti-nuclear movements buries each plant in red tape and makes them all one off designs.

Windmills would be extremely expensive as well if each one was designed with a custom generator and custom blades.

Compared to the rest of the USA (low bar), California is a saint. They started doing Energy Efficiency in the 70s, currently spend $1Bn / year on EE. Energy consumption as a whole in the state has flatlined since they started doing EE (1). All that to say, they're trying. It's crazy how much of a difference culture makes.

We haven't audited this personally but I'm lsoking forward to doing so.

It's worth keeping in mind that Flint was the result of more than a half-century of embedded Democratic corruption. This was a failure of accountability and integrity in local, not a national, or even state politics. Sadly, Flint is still under the same corrupt politicians that led to this in the first place, so don't expect anything to change...
> Then it's 1.1%/year.

Still, if you assume something like a 4% return (maybe comparable to the bonds behind them?), that 1.1%/year amounts to another 27.5% on top of your gross pay.

And that's not considering the likelihood that you'll be earning more at the end of your tenure than at the start. You're effectively earning that significant fraction of your final pay on top of whatever you see in your pay check.
Agreed about the definition of "startup" vs small business - murky.

> No, it's Communism.

It's the kind of “Communism” that is authoritarian, militaristic nationalism with significant economic role for private capital, but where both that private capital and labor are deeply intertwined with the administrative machinery of the state in a corporatist manner.

The system run by the Chinese Communist Party is “Communist” in the same way the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is “Democratic”; it's a label on the package that doesn't accurately reflect what is inside.

Which, in China, is a lot closer to fascism.

Well, it's not, and there doesn't seem to be much focus by the DoE to do so. Therefore storage of waste is still a major problem if you want to generate electricity with nuclear power plants in the US.

A gondola has hardware that can be removed in the future, possibly even sold to another user. A tunnel would be very permanent and possibly cause problems in the future. As the article stated, it is very hard to expand the size of a tunnel once it has be constructed. This limited size means that it can not be upgraded in any meaningful way. Ultimately, for a plan like this to work, the tunnel should be constructed as large as possible so that there is room for future growth.
I worked at Google at the time, so I was already well acquainted with the idea that people want something other than what they say they want. Hell, my day job consisted of running experiments on billions of people and trying to manipulate the whole web ecosystem to give us data, so I had a pretty extensive applied-psychology background there.

I just felt that the specific strategies employed by most of the PUA community were a.) useless and b.) worse than useless for me. And I suspect it actually was because of selection bias: if you're out there picking up girls, it's because you are not in a steady, happy relationship. Anyone who is in a steady, happy relationship drops out of the dating pool entirely. I wanted a steady, happy relationship; ergo, folks who were out there sarging every night were not very good role models for me.

That's another lesson I took from professional life that carries over into your romantic life: know which game you want to be playing, and ignore advice from people who are playing a different game.

I've got my own model of human behavior and why people make the romantic choices they do. It works for me, and it might even seem vaguely familiar to trained psychologists, but it'd probably piss off a bunch of folks in this sub-thread. Like you said, first rule of fight club.

FWIW, its not Chrome-only, which your post might imply.

From the FAQ:

"The Krypton browser extension currently only works on Google Chrome and Firefox.

Safari, and Edge are coming soon."

Also, it supports U2F. From the FAQ:

"Krypton supports any site that supports U2F security keys."

U2F is one of the two protocols supported by the FIDO standard (the other one is UAF). This doesn't say anything about whether this uses FIDO (v1) or FIDO2 though.

I think this is pretty cool from a user friendly PoV. Google Android has something similar. The Facebook app doesn't AFAIK (I quit Facebook so cannot verify), but Battle.net does and so does Microsoft Authenticator. The disadvantage is that you need all these separate apps. I'd rather use just one.

The legislature does not control PG&E's pricing.

Periodically, PG&E submits rate cases to the CPUC. The outcomes of these rate case submissions dictate what PG&E is allowed to charge customers.

This is where the bullshit 'making the world a better place' philosophy of Silicon Valley is lacking. Their morals and guiding principles are fucking garbage. Facebook asserts that 'connecting people' is somehow an unambiguously good thing. I'd argue that in its ideal form, social media is neither good nor bad. In practice it's actually an attack vector for those who are willing to sow discord. Facebook will never be able overcome its problems until they decide they want to be a force of good in the world where good is defined by some actual values that are aren't bullshit.

Same goes for AirBnB. They act as if they're providing some sort of amazing benefit to society when in reality, the negatives are felt by far more people than those who take advantage of their service. It doesn't withstand much scrutiny.

How about Uber? Despite what Uber might lead you to believe, it wasn't really necessary in NYC if you were smart enough to know to call a car service if there were no taxis in your area. Now that Uber has come along, all of the old car service drivers are forced to use Uber and taxi drivers are feeling such intense pressure that they are suicidal. Honestly I didn't mind waiting an extra 5-10 minutes for a cab. Now I can't find taxis in my neighborhood because Uber has taken over. So we have the same people doing the same job but are being paid less because Uber's cut is higher. And the benefit to me is that I don't have to talk to a person and might get home 5 minutes sooner? So for me, it's basically a wash, for the cab drivers it's a negative.

What's really sickening is that we've let them get away with it this long. We were so enamored with all of these new technologies we never stopped to consider if all the 'disruption' was actually going to be a net positive instead of a reorganization of existing power structures.
Wow, well the feeling is mutual, I wouldn't want to hire you! :)

A day is nothing for someone looking to leave a current position. Take a day off of work, what's the problem? Seriously. You're leaving anyway.

And then it's not like you can't just walk out on the interview at any time (say after the 2nd silly whiteboarding session) if you feel they are wasting your time.

The most important part of interviewing is the candidate's evaluation of the company. More time spent, and more people to talk to, is a fine tradeoff for a day of your time.

As a candidate, I don't really care what the company thinks they are getting out of a full day interview. I want this for my own reasons.
I agree, it's not more outlandish, but a subway system is a proven and much cheaper alternative.

Public safety, regulation/oversight of construction in city limits. It's also IMHO naive to think Musk will fund this himself and not ask the city to foot the bill.
> Labor gets more expensive, less labor is purchased. It is fundamental.

It's not fundamental. If you actually look at what happens in the real world more regulation does not lead to less labor, more often than not it's just the opposite, where regulation drives economic growth.

That may well happen. Keep in mind California doesn't have full control as a regulatory state: consider the special EPA waiver that came in, along with EPA itself, during the Nixon era. Many regulations one is accustomed to from the Federal government require such special permission to act. We might see a bevy of tax credits or the like over time to do the lifting.

Speaking against a particular brand of feminism does not make one a misogynist. From watching his videos, it's pretty clear that he isn't prejudiced against women. He just calls out bullshit claims by the likes of Anita Sarkeesian, who is on record stating that video games are a 'male sex fantasy' and whose only credential is being a perpetual victim. People like Phil Mason and Stephen Fry are a desperately needed public voice against bullshit disguised as feminism or social justice.

If Anita Sarkeesian went unchecked, games like GTA would be banned by now and reclassified as rape simulators.

This attitude of blindly dismissing people's arguments or entire credentials just because you bought into an agenda, this refusal to engage in civil debate and discuss matters on their merit. I think this is one of the factors destroying democracies around the world today. Everything must be polarizing, everyone expressing views you disagree with must be shunned. Any attempts to debate established status quo must be shouted down.

From an employers point of view, tracking hours does not make sense. At least as long as we are talking about creative work, where people tend to stay longer than they would be required to, without even noticing how much time they were working.

At least in Germany, working unions are fighting against not counting working hours, because it is better for the employees and is also a saftey net against related health issues. Without counting, legal rules are not enforceable and people may even work on weekends without any compensation. This also leads to the fact that managers start to expect those extra hours from everyone, and consequently see it as an lack of motivation or dedication not doing them.
