> If you’re driving around your home area a few times a month (or even week) I doubt that you’re anywhere near good enough that your clothing matters this much.

From the social signaling angle, being clipped in and wearing spandex also says "this ride cannot possibly be for transportation," because it's quite impractical to go anywhere but back to your house dressed like that.
* You also have to factor in that people with suburban preferences are going to be less likely to be willing to move. It's a less accessible demographic.

* The nature of "suburbs" is that they don't scale well. They're not meant to, suburbs are supposed to be the thing on the outside, not the thing everyone comes to. And while costs may be lower in some ways, they may be higher in others: like how Google has to run its own fleet of shuttles to go to Mountain View, because transit is inadequate. They don't do that in NYC.

* Google has a cultural preference for being environmentally friendly. Suburban style living and working is more energy intensive and less environmentally friendly than its urban counterpart.

* There's a large contingent of people that are united in their support for companies like Google to open an office in a more suburban city, somewhere, but I suspect that if you actually tried to pick a particular city, suddenly that support would fracture into a million pieces.
I have been getting a variation of this email for months sent to mailer-daemon@ on a mail server on a VM that hosts absolutely no personal information or credential about anyone.

If you Google some phrases from it it seems like it's been going around nearly verbatim for years.

I think they are probing for mail servers which don't try to force any kind of authentication on From: headers. So mailing lists would probably be a fit for them. They have no idea who their targets are. They are just looking for gullible people to scam.
Ways Your Boss Makes You Average
There are two situaions in which I love manual drive: long downhill drives (lower gear to use engine for braking) and slippery winter conditions (higher gear to limit engine torque). Automatic gearboxes don't provide enough control to do either of these useful things.

But then, I learned driving with stick, not automatic. I am a representative of your "give me more control" group. Even in other things, I find that there are a lot of automated systems around that do nothing for me because they don't quite behave as I would like and I have not enough control over them to adjust them. The more advanced mu knowledge in a certain area is, the more control I would like to have over related devices.
I thought this was going to be about the bot pretending to be him, not a glorified web form he asked recruiters to fill out.
If you want to make it sound really cool just call it hyper-vigilance.
It's a reasonable request, if you consider it from this perspective:

> Why do shareholders get board seats?

Because they don't trust company leadership to do the right thing, without any oversight.

Leadership is currently asking employees to trust that leadership will do the right thing, without any oversight.

This is, obviously, an unreasonable expectation. Even if employees trust current leadership, what assurances do they have that Sundar's successor will do the right thing?

An employee representative on the board is the only way to ensure that leadership will do the right thing. Corporate America has figured out this accountability thing over a century ago.
I haven't run into that level of rebellion from any of my four kids, at least not yet. I don't expect I will for some time, if ever, but what do I know about raising kids older than 9? Not much!

I agree with you, based in part on how I've seen some of my friends parenting their own substantially less compliant children, that the stereotype of a recalcitrant child not submitting to discipline has more to do with parental consistency and resolve than being endemic to child-rearing. One thing my kids have internalized from an early age is that no amount of bickering or disobedience will ever result in less discipline being applied; discipline and punishment only ever ramp up, never down. I also tend toward more severe punishments than many parents, which--at least in theory--sidesteps the risk of the kids developing a "tolerance" to some forms of discipline.

When it comes down to it, deprivation of activities is effective at length with all children. Children are born hedonists, and want to engage in pleasant and pleasurable activities. If I have a particular proactive disciplinary measure to apply (e.g., writing out chosen, relevant passages from Marcus Aurelius' "Meditiations"), it's almost always imposed as a substitute for some pleasant activity ("You'll do this during your normal screen time until you're done") and thus can continue in perpetuity should the kid choose to be recalcitrant. And since I'm typically there with the kid while they're doing the punishment (they're going to have questions about words, meanings, which passage is next, etc.) I can easily enforce the sequestration just by sitting by the door of the study :) There are definitely non-physical ways of punishing children that they simply can't "opt out" of.

As another example, one evening came home to learn from our kids' nanny that my two oldest boys were rude to their mother that morning. My wife had had a hard day at work as well, and getting home before her, I planned a quick trip to grab her a six pack of her favorite beer and order pizza from her favorite place. My boys, apart from having to write letters of apology to their mother, also didn't get to eat pizza. They had peanut butter sandwiches and water while we ate pizza. They wrote their apologies during their normal screen time and lost screen time privileges for a week, if I remember correctly. There's really nothing they could have done to choose "not to submit" to these punishments: if they tried to take pizza, I'd snatch it away, if they tried to use an electronic device, I lock it out of their reach. Disobedience wasn't really an option for them.

I find that the most effective punishments include a severe up-front penalty and a less severe but lingering over-time penalty. The severe frontloaded penalty makes it very clear how egregious the misbehavior was; the lower severity lingering penalty provides the opportunity over time to reinforce and reiterate how to behave better in the future.

I don't think the microphone was Jim Acosta's personal property, and he was an invited guest on federal property, and an employee/intern of the federal government was given instruction to get government property back.

Hi @moh_maya and @eswat - so glad to hear your feedback :)

mom_maya - you can read about us and about vision on main page on the left panel

@eswat - you are totally right. Currently most of works come from Dribbble. But if you change the main tab to "Products" you can browse through digital products from different categories.

Because there are more courses of action other than "drone strike" and "carpet bombing".
19 points for an automated spam message, lol.
Especially because he represents the People, he's basically our auditor, and he's a good auditor because the government employee he was auditing was trying to get out of answering the questions he's always tried to get out of answering.

The alt-right speaking point right now is that Acosta wasn't respecting the rules of Trump's house or something, that somehow Acosta has to defer to Trump, but that's the equation all backwards. We pay for the house, that's our auditor there demanding answers from our employee.
I've been using rust for a few weeks and I'm finding it fairly pleasant overall, but I agree on the syntax issues. I've hit some snags (in particular, graphs, but this is a common snag on constrained languages, Haskell has trouble with them too) but overall nothing serious and I'm not afraid to go down to unsafe.

I think they made a mistake using C++ style generic notation. D lang has a much, much nicer syntax for generics, and the language's readability would much improved with that syntax imo. As is, I find parsing the error messages that come back from type mismatches quite challenging. Reading documentation on traits on docs.rs, I find the actual trait name very hard to pick out in the noise. Maybe I'll get better with that over time.
I appreciate your response and respect your idea of trying to combine a lot of aspects to get the goal. I would challenge you on one point though:

> gender/skin color combination, but if they all grew up in the New England suburbs and all of them went to either MIT or Harvard, you are generally NOT going to have a diversity of experience, even though everyone _looks_ different

Unfortunately, there are many stories, points of evidence, and history that say people who look different, but come from the same place and education level DO have different experiences. Race and gender are exponentially powerful factors that can change a person's experience and outlook no matter how wealthy they are or what school they graduated from.

Why is an intern being sent to physically take away a microphone from a journalist? Do they not have an a/v team?
Absolutely. There can be no protesting ANY immoral actions, because that means you must advocate for ending humanity /s.
Yes, it might; though, unlike memory, a processor is more than just a frequency/feature size and a TDP. A processor also has specialty instructions which workloads may have been optimized for.

I would expect that right now, Google is 1. seeing to the re-engineering of certain math libraries they use internally for Google Search et al, and 2. like AWS, intending to create separate cloud-VM instance classes for Intel vs. AMD processors, where each workload type can “pay its own bills.” If AMD continues to dominate in server TDP, then I would expect this to lead to the AMD instance classes getting cheaper while the Intel classes remain the same; and so most customers switching to AMD instances, save for the customers who themselves have workloads optimized for Xeon-specific SIMD instructions.
I'm not sure you have a DB in all cases. The situation that made me think of this service was such a situation: we (startup business) had no easily accessible db where we could place the data for our fledgling BI project. We were using a Google spreadsheet and entering things manually into it. Things such as new subscriptions and cancels each week, etc. Putting that data into the main user db our SaaS product was using meant disturbing our developers who were very busy and also not to keen on contaminating the production db with BI data :) I think this lack of an existing db is common to many small businesses and hobbyists who are collecting (or want to collect) various forms of time series data, from various sources. You may be right that this is not a service that will attract many business users willing to pay for the higher tiers, that it is more suitable for small- (or tiny-) scale use, but that's the beauty of an MVP - you don't spend too much effort on it and you let the users guide development. If it turns out only serious IoT hobbyists buy, and they only buy the "Personal" subscription, then that's the target audience and the tier to focus on.

As for the log file example, sure I would pay someone to store 1000 lines of log data if the data was important to keep. Log files rarely are. But BI data, like new user registrations per day or week is something you never want to lose, and it is not a lot of data. I would pay someone $50/year if it meant I could store some simple BI metrics for my startup, at the resolution I needed, and not have to worry about finding a place in some existing db for it, or set up a new db. Come to think of it, this is another dogfooding opportunity - I have to feed pushdata.io BI metrics into timeseries on pushdata.io! :)

Anyway, I hear you and I thank you for the input. You may be right, we will just have to see. I'll be happy whatever target audience I can find that are willing to pay more than it costs me to serve them.

I think I fall somewhere between the two extremes you guys represent. It's not hard and it's not easy.

Also, some developers are developers because they wanted to GTFO of some situation and don't give two shits about personal development, best practices, efficiency, long term maintenance, or any else. They're just showing up for a paycheck.

Ideally you want to avoid those developers but realistically you don't always have a choice because not everyone who is passionate about software can work for Goopplebooksoft.
Tech executives mostly care about their own rewards and the shareholder/Wall ST.

Employees become less and less important in the grand scheme of things. Especially when there are millions of people competing for every position, a way to distinguish yourself in these environments is through either a higher education or being more driven (willing to work/die for your company). I'm sure the burn out rate is high.
Same, it kind of freaked me out to see a password i used regularly being sent to me in a spam email. Apparently mine came from the Dropbox hack.
No. But we've elected and appointed people who's job it is to:

a) be aware of all the information relevant to each operation

b) make a judgment as to whether each individual operation is worthwhile

Now, i'm not saying that makes them infallible. It certainly doesn't. There's a long history of people in such positions making poor choices. But if you're implying that they are, i'd like to see some evidence. Because what I see is a lot of "civilians died, therefore it was bad", but very little consideration of the objective of the mission, and whether or not the possibility of collateral damage was justified. What we do know is that smart people in positions of power believed that it was, and i'm happy to second-guess those beliefs if given good reason, but thus far i've never seen anyone give good reason in the case of these drone strikes.
An earlier article called out poor maintenance at Lion. Here we have:

>... airspeed indicator had been malfunctioning on four consecutive flights prior to the crash ...
> look like the woman going for a throat punch

I mean... no, I can't see this at all. In every instance, it's totally obvious she's reaching for the mic.

I agree that she clearly instigated whatever contact is there, and his movements do seem totally reactionary, but portraying her movement as an attempt at a "throat punch" is kind of ridiculous.
Sure, I call it being "attuned to risk."

And, I didn't mention it above, but someone mentioned that anxiety was the least useful response to stress, but I'm not so sure.

At the individual level it's difficult to experience the world anxiously, but it benefits the group.

Imagine a bunch of monkeys sitting around foraging for food. Some are super chill and don't startle easily, but there will be a few that are anxious and "attuned to danger".

Those anxious monkeys will likely be the first to detect danger and alert the rest of the troupe.

You could say they are providing a service to the rest of the troupe by offloading the vigilance onto a few individuals.
My dayjob employer is currently kicking off a 150-year project to validate whether the AMZN GetPromoted service is worthwhile to eventually implement internally. But, alas, already there are project delays. ;-)
It seems like when I try to pin you down, you add more qualifiers.

You first wrote "Fear of crowds is the norm for people with a rural/suburban mindset". Now you say it's, what, 'fear of being in insufficiently observed areas'?

I really don't understand that. So Times Square is okay because while there are crowds there are also a lot of cops?

Here's a cop van on Times Square. I literally did "Times Square" in Google Map, switch to street view, and rotated to see the van - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.758673,-73.984968,3a,75y,21....

You wrote "suburban/rural mindset" but when I point out that I know who were raised on a farm and don't have a fear of crowds, you now qualify that to "some people"?

I think your view is now the much weaker "some people from rural areas don't like being in areas where there aren't enough police or security guards or other people watching out for their safety"?

That's obviously true - white flight occurred in part as urban whites moved to areas where they felt the local government was more interested in keeping them safe from having to deal with non-whites.

I know that's not what you meant. I bring it up to point out how your statements are so general that they seem more over-generalized than insightful.
You’re getting downvoted because Google and many other well known tech companies are known not to be comfortable places to work if you’re a conservative. Political ideology, like skin color, should not itself be a diversity goal, but the former often reflects differences in mindsets that may be better suited for certain projects or job roles.
I don't want to relitigate the entire Damore saga. But for the sake of conversation, I will state that my view was that he was engaging in good faith with the diversity program Google was running.

The statement I made in my previous comment does not actually require this however. Even if Damore was actually acting in bad faith, fireing him would still have a chilling effect unless it was thought by every Googler that he was clearly acting in bad faith.

Further, I would excpect a Chief Diversity Officer to understand how perception alone can create a hostile environment, so ignorance of this (or disagreemrnent about the facts of the case) is not a good excuse.

Except, Jim Acosta is the 4th branch. His job is to find out, on the People's behalf, what the fed is up to, and the federal government (which we pay for) was trying to squirm out of it.

That's not government property, that's our property. The very house is paid for by our taxes.

If it were up to me, journalists would be with elected officials more than they aren't. I want transparency in government. Full transparency.

Psychosis is still an appropriate term for people who want to gain influence and control.
This was clearly satire, but the idea is that only a certain subset of people are active enough to ride a bike.

If e-scooters take off, that's a new/larger group of people traveling at 15mph.

Infrastructure that was marginal for the small cohort of bicyclists will become obviously inadequate as people riding e-scooters, e-bikes, motor skateboards, etc. join them. As a bicyclist who wants more and safer bike lanes, I welcome them!
There's a lot of people here trying to blame capitalism or the right, but it seems like trying to square that circle with the collaboration of Silicon Valley and the Chinese Government is a bit of a stretch. History is important and all, but even if I stipulate your theory about the past (which I don't, but for the sake of argument let's let it go), it's SV and China doing this today. Anyone who wants to try to convince me that the SV+China collaboration is "of the right" is welcome to try but I warn you you're basically facing Mt. Everest here. Blaming it on people who are not even proximal to today's manifestation of the will, at best, make you briefly feel better, but do nothing to solve the problem.

I mean, maybe?

Firstly, to be perfectly frank, you can get 2, 3 years into your first kid before a studio makes a practical difference over a 2-bedroom apartment. For the first chunk, keeping the crib in your bedroom for ease of care is pretty normal, and once the kid is mobile chances are they're going to be sneaking into your bed to sleep at every opportunity anyway.

Secondly, the average length of ownership of a house in the US is like 7.5 years. A lot of people never make it through their 30 year mortgage because they either move for work, their circumstances change and they need more or less house or their income changes and they can/can't afford a nicer, bigger house than they could before.

So living in a studio well into baby #1 before deciding to trade up to a larger place when it's time to look for the "good" schools or baby #2 is on the way is kind of a perfectly normal way to go about things?

Googling the bitcoin addresses I was given gave me zero results, DuckDuckGo gave a small handful of results, so I guess those addresses are also used in bitcoin mining adverts or similar?
Unless your software is written in assembly you can probably reuse a lot of that when moving to a new architecture. And given that interpreted/JITed languages are pretty mainstream these days I'm sure many developers wouldn't even notice the difference if you swapped their CPUs during the night.
Probably. Cars today are more connected - most of them have modems since the 2G wireless era (a lot of times you are probably unaware it's there.)
I'm more of a fan of BasE91 and I believe more people should be using it.
Yes, I agree. I just mean to say why is it being framed one way when it can, in my opinion, just as easily be misinterpreted the other way.

My first comment definitely overstates my opinion.
