I'd expect the utility/power companies to be on top of this, lobbying for it, already. Their centralized generation approach stands to gain as gasoline and the billion distributed combustion engines approach loses. It'd be in their self-interest to try to use their lobbying capabilities to accelerate that future.

It would be better to put the gasoline replacement tax on the utility companies and let them raise rates slightly to adjust for it. That's not only easier to do than building out a system for tracking & taxing all mileage in the US, it's also dramatically better for privacy reasons (as opposed to opening up another avenue for the government to invade our privacy by getting automated, mandated mileage tracking & reporting put into our electric vehicles). The US has relatively inexpensive energy prices, we can afford the slight increase in tax there, which would be offset by the erasure of the money spent on gasoline. The downside is, some will argue it's not fair to those not using electric vehicles on roads to be paying the tax increase (and that's correct, it's not a perfect tax distribution; it's an 85% good enough solution, that is a magnitude easier to implement and better for privacy).
TL;DR: Incapsula, Imperva, Sucuri, Fastly, and likely others are using anycast incorrectly.
It is

If you were making $50,000/year you might be able to save $10,000-$20,000 a year by cutting spending. However you'd be able to save infinity more by increasing earnings. If you were making $50,000 and got a raise and were now making $100,000/year a year that would let you save $50,000/year. You aren't going to save $50,000/year by cutting expenses.

There's no theoretical limit to your earnings, however, you can only save at most 100% of your salary.

It's also a LOT (and I mean a lot) easier to cut spending when you earn more.

I think what the GP meant to say was if you increase spending when you increase earnings you'll never save any money.
I see absolutely nothing
The geeks could already get this stuff on their system easily. 10+ years in UX design has taught me that little is more powerful than setting something to “default”.
Look for a used Chevy Volt, you should be able to get it around 10K USD (2012-2014 models). I am not fan of Nissan Leaf earlier models given the range anxiety and their battery being air-cooled, which you can find for almost rock bottom prices.

Plug-in hybrids like Chevy Volt, Prius Prime and Pacifica PHEV are in my opinion real sleepers that do not get media love.
These are all good questions, and we can add also "what is energy?" and "what is space?". I find it all deeply mysterious. Perhaps the questions are more interesting than the answers. How about this one: "what is is?"

I wonder if a fake phone mast, similar to a stingray, would be useful for locating people lost in the wilderness. If the person had a powered on phone, and the area was located quickly enough, the device could at minimum tell you if you are hotter or colder. Use multiple and you could even triangulate!

> Then you've raised bratty kids. Parents don't have any sort of obligation to put their kids through college

If you retire in your 30s and tell your kids “I don’t have an obligation to put you through college”, I think that non-bratty kids might well be not thrilled.
“Pulling off a Steve Jobs” is not really about knowing what customers what – most of the time it will be faster horses – but putting your passion into what YOU recognize a sore lack of.

“”Market research”” won’t tell you what’s missing, only existing trends. “Vision” on the other hand is identifying a need for something that doesn’t exist yet.

You don’t need to be Steve Jobs to do that, but if you aren’t charismatic (or rich) enough to convince a bunch of other people to work on your vision with/for you, you may only be make what you can make on your own.

Which is why I stick to my personal hobby projects. :)
What if record companies finance artists in ways that banks wouldn’t?
I agree, I we may be at a point in time analogous to people in the early 2000's discussing the next revolution in PCs... and not really appreciating that the next revolution was going to be mobile.

I think transportation is a lot more interesting than just cars - electric (and non-electric) cars will probably be part of the equation forever, but I suspect we're past peak car.
This is why we really need a system to collect orbital junk and take it down out of orbit.

And you know, if the BFR performs as promised, it will make putting the junk collectors into orbit so cheap that the whole project could be practical.
Yeah I've used those for a long while. They're just not the same as having a physical device, ya know?
Syncing Strategies for Mobile Devices
In the case of digital cameras, the driving forces were varied, from governments wanting better means to spy and drop bombs, the film industry looking for a replacement tech, dedicated hobbyists seeing the benefits and getting on board. I can think of two parallels in electric vehicles, namely high performance applications which love the insane torque, low center of gravity, and diminished complexity compared to something like a twin-charged ICE. The other is long haul trucking, which would love to stop paying for diesel. In the former case its still incredibly expensive and often matched with an ICE, and the latter requires much more range and a lower price per unit.

Hopefully you’re right, and those driving forces will parallel the adoption of digital cameras. If so however, it’s going to be gradual barring some kind of miracle breakthrough battery tech.
First, try to pick somewhere to live with decent community colleges that have a good transfer program to the state universities. (California has several excellent community colleges for students planning to transfer, but housing costs are hard). About ten years before college age, figure out what you need to do to game the FAFSA (i changes over time) and spend the next ten years arranging your finances to match. Having low income, because you have retired should help, although having liquid assets will tend to hurt. Keep up to date on the rules over that ten year period, because you don't want to chase closed loopholes.

Going to the "right" school may help get your foot in the door, but it's not a requirement for a successful career.
I recently upgraded from my 2015 rMBP to the 2018 model you’re looking at. I agree the Touch Bar is a dumb gimmick (for a dev’s purposes at least), but the keyboard has grown on me, and the 6-core/12-thread CPU is a serious boon for dev work.

I wrote up a few more details here:

Old homes would benefit from better load management technology. I want to clip something like this (http://www.theenergydetective.com/homemtuct200.html) to my main feed, and have it send power measurements to an EV charger, which automatically adjusts to fill all remaining capacity.

This wouldn't require any Internet access, just data sent over the power line, to a charger that's able to listen.

Existing home wiring could also be repurposed to carry HVDC, and therefore more power (12A * 600V = 7.2kW)... but I'm not sure if HVDC cars are designed with low current in mind.
The attraction of programmers to macOS née OS X has always been its UNIX foundations. Programmers love UNIX. Programmers made UNIX for programmers.

Unfortunately, from the epoch until very recently, UNIX has had GUIs ranging in quality from absolute shit to mediocre. That's finally changing with Free Desktop (Wayland + GNOME/KDE, and support libraries).

OS X gave programmers a UNIX core with a beautiful user interface layered on top. And what a joy it is to use.

But these days, you can easily make do with a much, much cheaper laptop running GNU/Linux if your budget and/or conscience dictates, and have a pretty good experience.
> I dislike rails because there's too much magic

This was a common complaint about Rails years ago. What are the "magic" parts in current-day Rails that you dislike?

(I disliked the dynamic finder methods, e.g. find_by_city_and_state, which you would now do using arguments to where(). I also disliked the default routing which made every public controller action routable, if I remember right. Those are now either deprecated or removed.)
If memory serves, the Freakonomics analysis looked at that?
Haha— that's clever, but cruel.
I suppose I could get a stupid BMW and hit all the desirable points you list, but I doubt it would help. In fact I'm sure it wouldn't.

But you aren't kidding about women's preferences on dating sites. They can actually go on and on and on, sometimes numbering fifty or sixty necessary traits. By contrast, what does a man want? Aside from political men who need a competent hostess, I think just about every man wants:

1. A woman who is passably attractive.

2. A woman who isn't crazy.

That's about it, but damn that narrows down 3.5 billion women mighty fast.
I see it frequently in testing. But then, I'm on the web dev side.

Sometimes if I see a web site I think might be too ambitious, I'll open it on each of my testing machines in different browsers, and about 70% of the time, my hunch is right, and it either fails on one or more, or the output looks significantly/unusably different.
Personally I'd go for the old school, yet very reliable, way of R T F M.

Gdpr introduces a cost but from what I heard,it's very messy.

What is needed is civil laws that permit lawsuits and restraining orders against tech companies as well as criminal statutes to imprison CEOs of companies that willfuly track users against their wish.

For example,Facebook's CEO should be criminally prosecuted for "shadow profiles" collected against non-users. I should be able to file a restraining order against Google preventing them from stalking me online.

I don't care if they pay a hundred billion dollars to the government,I want clear and specific lines drawn with clear and efficient consequences.

Consider this: under CFAA, intentionally attempting to gain unauthorized access to a system can result in a federal criminal prosecution. Google and Facebook are intentionally collecting unauthorized information on individuals who have clearly expressed their desire to not be tracked by them(browser settings and http headers). Their CEOs should be just as liable as an individual would if that individual was stalking another person or logging into their account against their permission.
People have been saying that for a very long time, and every decade or two someone bets real money and loses horribly. I think the last time was Kamen thinking the Segway would change human transportation forever. Such visionaries tend to conveniently forget people who have families with kids, the price, and the fact that if their device can’t totally replace a car then it’s just an added expense many can’t afford.
Not really...The issue is more using TTL in your ECMP hash algo. It’s a weird default to have.
It seems plausible that time is an artifact of the same general principle behind the halting problem, Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, and quantum mechanics. The only way to find out the final state of a (program|particle-measurement|partial-differential-equation|universe) is to run it.
I have found it to actually not be a problem at all in my wife's Model 3. Almost everything you normally do while driving is one or two taps away and doesn't require as much cognitive load as you would think (Mirror adjustment sucks though). Mapping/Directions on the big touch screen is amazing. The radio/volume controls are on the steering wheel just like most cars.

Most modern cars use digital displays for AC now anyway and it requires you to look down to see what it is set to. My Audi looks like this:

https://cevpu.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2018-Audi-A5-Ca...

The BMW 4 series was similar:

https://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/2016-bmw-...

The Porche Macan I test drove was a UX atrocity:

https://www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/g...

All digital displays.

In all of the cars I test drove, the controls for AC/Radio/etc were all very low, tiny text, and require me to take my eyes completely off the road. At least with the model 3 display I can kind of keep the road in my peripheral vision.
Well now I just feel old. Thank you.
To me, what this illustrates is that too many companies today don't understand there is a big difference between a web developer and a web designer.

Companies that have both are the ones with the sites that stand the test of time.
My tip is to break down your knowledge into very small chunks and store them somewhere easily accessible and searchable. I have been looking for a solution for this, and that led me to build a system for myself and open source it [0].

In short, I find that writing them down every day in bite-sized chunks is most helpful. This method probably will not help you store non-texts such as movies, pictures, but for other mediums, it is great.

After about two years, the main benefits I find are:

* Bite-sized notes are easier to index and search for later

* We can easily share those notes with others when in a technical discussion etc, saving a lot of time

* We can do spaced-repetition on those notes easily because they are concise. (I wrote a short Go program to do this for me)

I can scarcely believe this response!

The same would be true of any activity the start-up could do to gather intelligence on a market opportunity, whether it is incubating a prototype and obsessing over user feedback, consuming market research, getting feedback from potential investors, etc. etc.

If doing X could reliably lead to growing the product revenue underpinning the startup, then there is an arbitrage opportunity for any better capitalized actor to swoop in and do X first/better.

I also think your claim is implicitly very narrow in imagining a certain type of startup.

For example, my sister opened a popup restaurant that participates in a weekly farmer’s market in a large public park near where she lives. She absolutely spent money on marketing reports and restaurant consulting to understand if her ideas for menus and how to operationalize cooking the food quickly, on-site had any likelihood of being profitable.

The idea of just piloting the menu and kitchen strategy, then hoping to pivot based on feedback, makes no sense for a startup business like that, where you need hard research data on the market before even prototyping a product.

Or, IMHO, evidence that both liked to "hide the ladder" - deliberately not publish result A although they were sure of it and thought it important; but instead use that to obtain results F, G and H which they would then publish, to much greater acclaim: since no-one could see how they could possibly have come up with these advanced ideas in the first place. (How to look like a genius.) This works as long as F, G and H don't obviously imply A (but that's very often the case, in fact, the usual case.)

This is a vicious practice because once a discovery is skipped over it can be devilishly hard to discover later on, it's too easy to overlook, since no fresh result people are eager to work with ever points toward it. I think a occult Gauss discovery still inhibits our understanding of quantum mechanics, for example, to this day. I don't offer to support this paragraph at this time, however.
Unfortunately, my building is over 120 years old. They weren't forward thinking enough with electricity or parking spots, I guess.
I'm surprised to not see any YAGNI voices in the comments. I set up Evernote with lots of collected papers I had read. However, I found I would rarely go back, and finding things within a collection of two hundred items was already not easier than just googling it. Perhaps with improved semantic search the situation may improve. I just think summarizing down to a small set of core ideas and storing them in a single small text file or document is better than keeping extensive originals or even per item notes.
The Model 3 has, or may have, become profitable for Tesla since the average selling price has gone from the $34K initially advertised to (last I checked) $59K. Good deal - if you're Tesla.
Then the difference became battery life. It's been a few years since I ran linux on a laptop; has that improved?
I don't think so. A car is the most outwardly visible status/everything symbol you have. This is important, especially for men without a family. They're not going to want to be seen in a Renault Zoe or a scooter.
Whoops, my apologies. Not in the Bay Area.
Not really. Anycast is fairly standard and usable for stateful
connections - the issue is again middleboxes fucking with stuff and a weird default of incorporating TTL in the ECMP hashing algo
FWIW I spent this last summer coding while traveling on a Macbook Air I bought for $999.

I was considering buying a more powerful laptop for the trip, but I'm glad I put it off.

If I needed more power, then I would just ssh to Linux box. I even used X forwarding once! It worked with XQuartz -- my first time I using it, and it was passable.

Anyway, I really like the Macbook Air -- and I used it for everything -- coding, presentations, taking videos/pictures, video conferencing, listening to music, watching Netflix, health data, etc.

I ran BOTH an Ubuntu VM and a Windows VM on the Macbook Air too! Computers can do everything now!
I don't really have an exact example for you -- the last corporate rails codebase I touched was 2 migrating to 3/4, and the last rails guide I saw was 4 (rails is on 5 now?)...

I did a cursory google search and found:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29697787/rails-call-same...

More generally, my point was that smaller libraries have less space for multiple ways to do things/overlapping concepts. In the codebases I've worked with, I've found myself questioning whether to use one specific rails concept or the other and the resulting "right" choice seemed arbitrary -- like whether I should make a controller mixin or create a helper.

For example, if you look at a framework like sinatra, the smallest/simplest thing you use to respond to a request is just a function. How to use functions properly is pretty clear, there's not much else to debate over.
You don't need to buy new. I find this "new everything" by default to be very sad.

As a developer, you'd be well served by a 2015 (if you like the old keyboard), 2016 or 2017 MacBook Pro. Why do you want to spend so much money to pay for Apple Corporate to get even wealthier? Even something like a certified refurbish machine will get you what you need (with full Apple warranty), AND leave you enough money for peripherals and accessories.

Buy a tool of course, that works for your job, but don't be clouded by the idea that you need the newest, the latest gadget to do basic development.
I know that I successfully used hybrid button-touchscreen interface for my Prius for over a decade. It was great and resulted in no accidents or even distractions.

It's modular so additional features can be integrated by pure software so upgrades are possible.

Sure 90% touchscreen (some stuff is still manual) sounds crazy but Model3 owners don't seem to complain too much. I'd bet an 80% interface would work great today.

Enter a perfected voice control and L4 auto drive and we'll officially be living in the future.
That's what caused the issue to surface, but the root cause is offering a stateful service over anycast. There is no hard requirement that you ECMP flows consistently. Spraying may be sub-optimal, but it must be accepted.

I do agree that including TTL by default is weird, though.
I taught myself most things I know, and I am an idiot for it (though sometimes I had no other option).

If "teaching yourself" means trying to find resources to learn something you're interested in, why would that make you an idiot?
All of those things are already happening in parts of the US.
Many physicists do not believe that collapse of the wavefunction is a thing.
One of the nice things about the Touch Bar is that you can use it to hold a bunch of useful info without cluttering your prompt.
There are a lot of videos of Jobs at NeXT computers doing meetings that are fun to watch where you get to see his deaper understanding.
They're currently eating free cake. Those parking spots cost the city a lot of money directly and indirectly (some estimates say $100 a month).
What if my wm does not support wayland?

If it provides more security (I guess applications cannot draw over other applications, nor grab keyboard input unless they're in focus), then how can I have a wm? How can I have a screensaver?

Is there any reason to use it if most of my applications are running in xwayland?
America is not the Bay Area. Those short trips are across town to pick up the kids at school or take them to sports or go grocery shopping or other errands. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways.

Nobody is going to use a scooter or an e-bike for that. If someone made an electric minivan, sure, that might soak up most of those trips, but for some reason nobody makes one.
Most crashes/collisions are unintentional, but are the result of behaviors to be avoided.
> Sometimes it feels like those who are the loudest critics of Go aren't even Go developers

I have been writing Go exclusively for almost 3 years, (I still maintain some legacy J2EE applications, and live in a Java/C# town) -- this has been true anecdotally 99% of the time. There's the one-off who actually does use go regularly.

Then again, I witness this same phenomena in the JS framework battles, even within my own company. Vue vs React, where neither of them have ever used each others and built an actual production application to evaluate it. This is just the editor wars over again.
