Jones never even said that, that's the problem. The media created a false narrative and spread it. He specifically said that people who were interviewed after the shooting were crisis actors.

Who cares the specifics of what he said though? It's distasteful, but if distasteful speech is grounds to ban someone then most of Twitter should be banned.

And the evidence is that James Woods, Alex Jones and others have been banned because of political speech while similarly high profile Leftist commentators who post inflammatory things have not been banned.

Sure, but the OP was pointing out (albeit somewhat snarkily) that this was only available for Android. The post I responded to said, more or less, "The Android version is also available from this other installer!", which may be good information but isn't really relevant.

(Also, this project does look like it's been going on since mid-2014, so I'm not entirely convinced the lack of an iOS client is due to a lack of time. A lack of available/interested iOS developers seems more likely.)
Used to work in Alaska on boats and saw this many nights coming into Seward harbor. It made the entire town (all small buildings) look like mid sized sky scrapers of the same height, even across the horizon, and then it would fade away.
Last I recall checking, out of the residents of San Francisco, only about 5% work for a tech company. And many or most of those people work in non-technical roles. I think a lot of the feeling of a "monoculture" is self-enforced; it happens because people in the same industry cluster too much in where they live, what activities they seek, and how they try to meet new people.
That's because the digitized images (at minimum, the majority) aren't from the original film. Around 1989, the Municipal Archives Collection started archiving the most recent images on LaserDisc. That process was clearly destructive (to the 'archived' copy; not the original); given that the landscape photos fill the frame, they were clearly cropped. When the MAC went to digitize the images, they "extracted low-resolution tiffs of each frame from the LVDs for viewing in the gallery."[0] Others at that link appear to have been pulled from the original film. Hopefully, that means all of the originals were preserved for future scanning.

Anyhow, according to a separate source quoting a NYC Tax Photos page that's no longer available,[1] the used 35mm film when they originally shot every building in the five boroughs between 1939 and 1941 (~ 720,000 black-and-white 35mm negatives) and when they later updated the photos between 1983 and 1988 (~800,000 negatives and prints). Starting ~1989, they then archived those latest photos on LaserDisc. Presumably because they'd be easier for tax assessors to work with.

The 1939-1941 collection was shot on black-and-white negative film. For the 1983-1988 photos, all of the sources I've found state that they were "in both print and negative formats." Which may or may not be helpful, as it's not uncommon for people to sometimes positive/slide film as "negatives" even though it's...wrong. You'd probably have to contact the archive to verify that.

Given the use case--a massive archive of images that can be quickly referenced by tax assessors--I find that odd if not unlikely. For that kind of massive volume, slides are easier to work with (toss a bunch on a giant light box) and take up much less storage space. Most importantly, slide film was--I believe--generally cheaper to buy and process in the 80s, not to mention it let you skip having to get prints made altogether.

Aside from the DOF tax photos, the MAC has a massive number of other photos and documents online. Assuming you don't die of boredom waiting for the pages to load, it's fascinating.[2]

One of the most amazing experiences I have had was spending time working on a US Navy ship in the south Pacific. The ship would steam at night with no external illumination.

You need to read what I wrote more carefully. I said "Amazon needs to pay its employees better" as in a living wage - not distribute the one mil it gave Wikipedia amongst its employees.
Another thing I note. The disgusting trolls that called you pervert etc. did so anonymously. Because they knew if anybody learns who they are, there would be very real negative consequences for them. People that demanded (often successfully) silencing and banning others for disagreement with them do so proudly and openly, because they know that while they may have suffer an attack or two from the same despicable trolls, they won't be fired for it, they won't have lynch mob attack them on the street or in a public place, they won't be disinvited from conferences, they would not lose all social media presence because of it, their company would not face a mass boycott for employing them, their business would not be removed from the Internet because their provider doesn't like them, etc. etc. Somehow there's a difference. Even though the trolls - while undeniably despicable - appear to be pretty powerless to do anything, while the people I described above can really ruin somebody's life. I think there's maybe some asymmetry going on...

This is certainly true, i often saw signage on trash cans in places like 7-11 saying the trash was for customers only. And when I asked a local where I could toss a wrapper, they just took it and put it in their pocket or something.
Maybe people should embrace diversity, agree to disagree, and stop forcing their views on others. Democracy was never meant to legitimize oppression of minority views.

The "heartland" is also biased to things like food production and military service to defend the rights of all (including the "coastal majority"). Probably not a good idea to unnecessarily stir the pot and risk secession or civil war.

So, what i never understood about this flow is that only admins can set up mfa. A non admin (any account without IAM permissions) has no way to set up mfa unless an admin does it for them.

> C++ famously took many years to have a stable ABI.

I'm pretty sure C++ doesn't prescribe any particular ABI for implementations to adhere to. There was even a paper in 2014 about defining a portable ABI, and I don't believe it was adopted [0].

In particular, MSVC uses a different ABI than the *nixes, and MSVC's ABI isn't guaranteed to be stable across major compiler releases. In addition, libstdc++ 5.1 had a significant break for C++11 std::string and std::list [1].

Bear in mind that probably as many AWS accounts are popped by losing access keys as IAM logins (if you're logging in to the root account, stop doing that).

For the access keys, you should look into things like aws-vault, which wrap the STS so that your shell is only ever handling temporary session-bound keys.
>Being left-leaning is not cause for antitrust....

As horrible as this may sound, it is a cause for anti trust break up when those in power are right leaning.

I mean, let's not split hairs here. As a matter of pragmatic reality, that's pretty much what it comes down to.
This analysis is partially correct but opens itself up to abuse.

I can create some piece of work, for example a really intricate crayon drawing that took me 1,000 hours to produce.

If I value my labor at $100 an hour (a number I arbitrarily chose), you now have the chance to buy something that cost 1,000,000 usd to produce.

TLDR apple salaries are not a sufficient way to value the iPhone, since it's possible that Apple will some day just produce an expensive pile of shit.

A device should only be valued based on what someone will pay for it, and what value it could be expected to produce.
This is possible and actually pretty trivial.

You install all 3rd party dependencies into some directory. The command line entry point is then a simple BASH script which sets the PYTHONPATH to the appropriate installation location and then does the appropriate exec call.

You then have a functionally portable python installation.

I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but isn't there an advantage to having a JIT compiler use LLVM?

On another note, I believe one thing that has been problematic for pypy adoption is that it does not automatically work with C extensions or Cython, and generally if someone already had performance issues with CPython, they would have written some C/Cython extensions?
With virtual reality and electric cars, there has been a slow but steady increase in technology and quality for these products, that has been noticable at all times.

IE, the existing electric cars in 2004, were better than the electric cars made in 2003. And the same for 2005 cars, compared to 2004 cars.

This happened, until eventually they became good enough that people started using them, but there was still noticable progress along the way.

The same is not true for unions.

The unions in 2000, were not noticably better than the unions in 1990. There is no steady and obvious progress, or linear regression that can be extrapolated into the future.

IE, for these other technologies, they were clearly getting better by X% every year, using a measureable, objective metric. Battery life, or screen resolution or whatever.

You do not see an x% increase in an obvious objective metric for unions.
I do think that you can get the same software experience in NYC, Boston, Seattle, and probably Austin too. I always tell people to start their careers in a big city or SV, but it really is an atrocious area to raise a family. California is nice and SF is a cool enough city, but SV is just sprawl, sprawl, sprawl. You’d expect more give the COL.

Anyways. I think this author has some serious rose colored glasses on, but I think the basic advice still stands. The earning power you can command for the rest of your career will be monumentally different if you start your career in a city.

I started a career on the West coast and made enough of a name for myself that I work remotely in the MidWest with an SV salary. There’s no way I could be doing what I’m doing now if I hadn’t started in a city.

> Not to mention almost every woman I know in tech has told me a story where they are ignored, only to have someone else who's a guy propose basically the same idea (including having had male coworkers who are friends knowingly propose the exact same idea as an experiment) and have it accepted and praised.

Not to take away from the good point of gender discrimination, but this happens a lot of guys too. It's a cut-throat world...
And the claims that Silicon Valley _doesn't_ have a ideological diversity problem I've seen have invariably boiled down either aggressively expanding the umbrella of what is considered "bigotry" (conspicuously to the benefit of one side of the political spectrum), or just outright advocating political discrimination - which is not actually all that uncommon, Reddit for instance openly admitted to making sure hires are "on-board politically" during Pao's tenture as CEO.
How does discovery happen in Cabal or in Scuttlebutt?

Does it use any kind of DHT like Kademlia? I know you want to avoid singletons but are there any hubs that are DHTs or what? How does discovery work? And do you support Web Push?
I don't know of any good writeup on the side of blaming the individual. On the side of fixing the system, I think the canon would be to look at systems theory (at the more human centered flank, like Meadows). You can get to the same conclusion on administration theory from Deming and his following, or any of the X-safety groups, like work-safety, aviation-safety, nuclear-safety, etc.

What really confuses the discussion is that a well working system that deals with ethical failures does necessarily hold people personally accountable. But you can't fix it by focusing on the "holding people accountable" part, it never works. You have to focus on the "system" part.
Congratulations on finding yourselves so young and more importantly, being in a position where you were both able to grow with one and other. :)

I'm rather envious. But like the OP above you mentioned, I wasn't in a position where I could or should be committing to life with some one. I guess that's where today's culture is a lot more forgiving and not forcing our generation to adhere to traditional social roles.

I can't imagine anyone who'd have married to the younger version of myself would have made it far, and inevitably found myself on the wrong side of the documented statistics. So, yay... I guess.
Yes I am very interested in this, but still waiting for a practical release :)

The problem we see is that companies in their transition from physical office to a virtual and distributed workplace carried over all the meeting habits that are outdated.

We believe there is no longer need in standing meetings with fixed audiences.

With Meetter, you are basically setting your weekly meetings budget for the whole company and let topics compete for that time. This is a lot different from what is happening today: meetings fight for all the available time on everyone's calendar.

Meetter hours are not finalized until 15 minutes before the start. High priority, smaller and shorter topics win. Meetter makes all meetings about what they should be: about solving problems, not about socializing & sharing updates - there are less expensive ways to do that.
