What that 1% or 1.1% per year represents is your pension, which is paid like a salary.

So if I work for 20 years and have an average of 100k for my high 3-year, I'm getting $20k/year for the rest of my life.

In the same circumstances but I retire at age 62 (leave work at age 62), I get $22k/year for the rest of my life.

The current President is also talking about eliminating the cost-of-living adjustmetns that have been typical (intended to keep with inflation) for retirees, and changing the 3-year average to a 5-year average.

The other number I gave (5%) is a matching contribution to the TSP (401k equivalent), that is cash given each year and will add up to something more substantial. Even assuming a modest 4%/year return over 20-30 years of contributing.

> For example, std::vector in C++ is a value type but the array storage is heap-allocated.

This isn't correct. Firstly, C++ doesn't have value or reference types. Where any object is stored depends purely on how it is allocated. Either in the free store (dynamic) or automatic storage (the stack).

std::vector has a constant object size - typically the size of 3 pointers (but that depends on the implementation - the standard doesn't specify): the start of the memory (dynamically allocated for storage), end/capacity (typically either another pointer or a size_t of the current capacity), and back (typically either a pointer just past the last element used or a size_t + 1 of current size). It's storage is dynamically allocated, though, and for a std::vector<T> will have dynamically allocated sizeof(T) * capacity bytes (maybe more due to alignment issues).

std::array is constexpr safe and does not (directly) dynamically allocate memory - size has to be known at compile time (hence it's a template argument).

For instance, on my compiler (GCC 4.8.4), for this example program:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <array>

int main()
{
std::vector<int> v_ten(0, 10);
std::vector<int> v_twenty(0, 20);
std::array<int, 10> a_ten{0};
std::array<int, 20> a_twenty{0};

std::cout << "sizeof(v_ten): " << sizeof(v_ten) << std::endl;
std::cout << "sizeof(v_twenty): " << sizeof(v_twenty) << std::endl;
std::cout << "sizeof(a_ten): " << sizeof(a_ten) << std::endl;
std::cout << "sizeof(a_twenty): " << sizeof(a_twenty) << std::endl;

return 0;
}

produces this output:

sizeof(v_ten): 24
sizeof(v_twenty): 24
sizeof(a_ten): 40
sizeof(a_twenty): 80

edit: added comment about alignment.

I'm a big fan of the political compass model. I think it does a great job of creating enough space to lay out most people's political values. But regarding immigration and law enforcement, at least right now, the right in America tend to be pretty authoritarian while the left tend to be fairly libertarian.

Of course that flips when you jump to the issue of pursing white collar crimes and regulatory violations.

BTW, in this context I'm using 'right' to mean the group of people that largely votes Republican and 'left' to mean the group of people that largely votes Democrat.

I do a lot of traveling. My experience improved dramatically when I stopped using TripAdvisor and similar apps. I just go with the flow. Talk to real people. Like a bunch of American tourists (insert any country here) would know what, say, authentic Thai food is supposed to taste like. It all comes down to a bunch of -at best- uninformed people ranking stuff, at worst fake reviewers, bots and scammers. Why would I want that?

The worst part is that now if I don't want to look at their stupid logo, it's not enough to uninstall the app. They are everywhere. Restaurants and hotels begging for you to rank them positively, lest you enrage the child gods and send their business into ruin. Beautifully serene temples disgraced by a 15 foot high real life Tripadvisor logo to commemorate that they made it into the top 10 that year. A temple going back more than one thousand years, with trees and rock and the shitty green and black TripAdvisor logo ruining everything. It made me very sad.

> Why employers (in the knowledge business at least) track people by the hour is beyond my understanding

Because in some countries it is a legal requirement. Where I work, in Austria, there is currently a legal limit of 10 working hours per day and a total of 50 hours per week, except in exceptional circumstances. Therefore, all employees must log their working hours.

I found the process odd when I first moved here. However, over time I have come to appreciate the advantages. I have absolutely no pressure from my employer to work excessive overtime and there is no default culture of long working hours. After 14:00 on Fridays, every week, the office is 90% empty.

I hope this small example helps you to understand why employers in some locations have to track people by the hour.

"how many poisoned by heavy metals manufacturing solar equipment"

Zero? How many people have died making manufacturing computers, tvs, toys, or appliances; all of which have all the same heavy metals as solar panels by virtue of being electronic goods? This is essentially FUD. A single PV panel can generate 5-10 Mwh over its service life, conservatively. On the low end that is equivalent to about 2 tons of coal. Since coal contains a broad cross section of heavy metals and they become more bioavailable when burned, I think you're better off with the panels.
The whole row of a bus line doesn't need to be red or blue to get the point across for me.

For numbered buses I think this makes sense and is already the case, in my example, the Chicago Transit rail line, the different rails aren't numbered, they are literally designated by color-as in going to the blue line all of the signage is blue indicating which line station you're at (NYC for example has numbered transit lines for their trains). Said a better way: in some cities certain transit modes don't have names or numbers, but are literally designated by color. We don't have a 6 train, we have a Blue line. The app is consistent with this-and for me that makes perfect sense.

That's why I think-in this instance, and in many others where various public transit modes are designated by color (I think the MTA in Atlanta does?)-it makes perfect sense. It isn't that the Transit App is arbitrarily assigning colors, the colors are assigned to represent how the Chicago Transit Authority _themselves_ have designated each disparate rail line by color.

In other cases, everything else has the same color. Bus line 80, 72, 76 are all just a standard blue color.

Overall though, I completely get your point.
It sounds like you're trying to bring a software mindset to an infrastructure problem, which is somewhat laudable, but ultimately misguided in this instance.

I'm fed up with TripAdvisor, Yelp and similar review sites. Too many of the negative reviews are off topic and they bring down the overall ratings (similar issue for positive reviews as well... people tend to rate things they love or hate, but not things in the middle). For example, Amazon is loaded with one-star reviews from people complaining that they received counterfeit items. This has nothing to do with the product itself and everything to do with a supply chain issue at Amazon (and more so its 3rd party merchants). Similarly, on TripAdvisor and Yelp, I regularly see one star reviews from people who have a specific issue and don't review hotels/restaurants on their own terms. For example, if you are a health nut, you really aught to not post a review of a BBQ joint to complain about lack of healthy options. Family taking a vacation? Don't post reviews of a hotel in the financial district that caters to business travelers because you are upset that they lack good facilities for kids. I highly prefer professional reviewers who have a breadth of experience and also know to review movies on their own terms. That's why I find the aggregated professional movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes more helpful than the crowd-sourced reviews on IMDB.

I think there's a solution that would help the problem a bit though. Have two tiers of reviewers. For example, on TripAdvisor, the first tier would include everyone, similar to what you have right now. Second tier would be an aggregated number by "gold" reviewers. To qualify, a gold reviewer would need to have:

- More than N number of reviews

- An individual review would only count if it was more than a minimum number of words

- Let users mark reviews as helpful or not helpful. A gold user will need to be above a threshold for percentage of helpful vs not helpful reviews, with a minimum number of helpful reviews.

Amazon already marks some reviewers as being, for example, a "top 1000 reviewer". What I'd like to see is for those top tier reviewers' reviews to be broken out as a separate score.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that Okta holds ourselves to a security standard that is lower than my own. What I was trying to say is that the reality is that some organizations do not need (or want!) a high level of security. For some organizations, security questions to reset passwords is an improvement over past process (!)

Naturally, as a company that specializes in security, we have a unique threat model and do not allo SMS resets of passwords, security questions, etc for our organization.

I agree with you in that I don't like it - I was just providing some more information on the issue, from presumably the same source you made your comment from.

In terms of a Debian firefox etc, I would worry about two things:

1. You'd be fragmenting the non-corporate* browser market, weakening the good that can come of that. Mozilla are invited to the table at browser discussions, Debzilla probably won't be.

2. You're reliant on the upstream from Mozilla, so you're still needing them to be big enough to continue to generate the base software the fork is coming off.

I don't consider Mozilla to be a bad actor and in fact like them a lot (although you may feel differently) however they have done multiple anti-user actions I don't agree with (this would be one of the lesser ones).

How are firefox design choices steered? Is it just at the whim of the corporation? If not, what would be the best way to become politically active in steering design choices like these in a pro-privacy pro-user direction? It seems like there are enough people with a similar sentiment on Hacker News to provide political weight to these issues.

*yes, strictly speaking Mozilla are corporate but I would say there are appreciable differences between them and Google, Microsoft, etc

I've had the opposite experience. For green-field applications, it's far easier to write the application in C++ than Java & meet the latency requirements. Java requires far too much tuning, where as C++, from the get go, you can generally just glance at the code and have a good idea of the latency.

We're currently fighting a Java app that in general has decent latency (10s of usecs), but has outliers of greater than a second when GC kicks in. We don't have that issue with the C++ components of our trading system.
The problem is that the market segments such that these travelers are no longer served by commercial aviation. If you are the sort of person whose time is worth $10K/hour, you fly private. You get your bed, and gym, and first-class suite and attendants who wait on your every move, and you also don't have to go through security or wait in the terminal or deal with other passengers.

The lie-flat business class seats aren't actually for those sorts of people, they are for ordinary corporate mid-level employees who fly for business. I have some Googler friends in Australia who will regularly take the bed-seats on the Sydney => SFO run. The company pays for it - when you're going to be paying the employee $10K anyway for the two weeks they're away, and they're generating well over that in value by having the next 3 months of work synced up with what the home office is doing, why would you not?
I disagree strongly with this statement in the article:

"There's a real challenge in deciding what constitutes work," said Dr Jain, from the university's Centre for Transport and Society.

"Work" is anything I would be doing while sitting at my desk in your office building. So if I'm doing that on a train or in your office they are both "work." And if my train ride takes 1.5 hours to the office and 1.5 hours home, I'll get on the train around 8AM and leave the office at 3:30 to arrive at the other end by 5PM and count that as an 8 hour work day.

On the other hand, if I am in my car driving, I don't think of it as work until I can actually concentrate on doing work.

3 million is the retail price, not the cost of parts and labor to construct it, which is all these lego-version cost numbers are considering. We can't compare retail prices because the lego version isn't being sold, and if it were auctioned as art, I bet it would go for more than 3 million.

If we wanted a real comparison, we'd need to add the cost of R&D to the production costs. We could divide the R&D for the Chiron by the number of units produced. I'm sure the schematics for the lego version were much less expensive to develop, but that would be offset by there being only a single unit. Furthermore, how do we price in the marginal utility of having already developed the original?
