Neterism, health-hazard filthy dishes and ivory trade by ex-1st lady
I took a community college class in programming, and also went to a bootcamp.

The college class had 40+ people in the beginning, maybe 30 at the end, 3 months later. We spent a week on basic for-loops. I was one of 5 female folks in the beginning, and only 3 of us made it to the end. There were some absolutely intolerable know-it-all teenage boys that made me seriously reconsider my interest in programming, despite getting over 100% in the class (through extra credit and curved tests). At the end of the class I had a commandline game, and had no idea how to do anything but basic programming.

The bootcamp I went to was about the same duration. There were ~35 of us, and every single one made it to the end. We were explicitly taught how to work well with each other. At the end of the bootcamp I knew about all kinds of things from databases to css, and had made several complete projects.

I hear what you're saying about community college being a good way to try it out, but it's in no way comparable to a full codeschool course. I think Holberton school is multiple years, too, rather than a standard 3 month program like the one I went to.

It's interesting to read the open letter that 67 researchers posted on Buzzfeed that's referred to in the article (article calls them social scientists but there are many people from biology and related fields: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/bfopinion/race-genetics.... Their basic point:

"Reich critically misunderstands and misrepresents concerns that are central to recent critiques of how biomedical researchers — including Reich — use categories of “race” and “population.” "

A personal anecdote: Colorectal cancer (CRC) seems to be more prevalent among the African-American population in the US (for an analysis of why see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4977418/) A close colleague's wife was diagnosed with CRC (she's OK now, after chemo). He was putting off colonoscopy until at least 50 but after looking at the stats and his wife's prognosis got it done in a heart beat. They're both black.

Moral of this story to me:

1) Don't delay your colonoscopy, schedule one asap is you're close to 50.

2) The "race has no biological basis" concept may be fine on a theoretical level but when you're at the crosshairs of a racial group related disease things take another dimension!

The Art Institute has always been very forward looking when it comes to technology. In the mid 90s I was offered a job there creating a new collection tool for curators that would allow them to view ALL of the Art Institute’s collection and help them create new exhibits. I think only 10% of their collection at that time was on display. They were going to build the tool in C. They were also very progressive to hiring as I didn’t know C and the team was willing to teach me. It was a very cool job but I didn’t end up taking it.

Can't you just encapsulate SCTP in UDP? Isn't that the reason we have UDP in the first place? If a middlebox will pass QUIC, it should stand to reason that it'll pass SCTP over UDP, since they're both oddball UDP protocols.

How is that working in the UK right now?
We can perform an intuivite verification of this by dividing the city revenue/expenditures over 1. residences, 2. area, 3. people.

Example:
San francisco has an 11 billion tax revenue[1]
It has 880.000 residents [2]
It has 121 km2 [3]
It has 345,811 Households [3] (note this is an old census, the number has probably gone up a bit)

11 billion / 880.000 = 12.500 U$S
This means that every resident in the city would have to pay 1040U$S a month (including babies and elderly) just to pay for the city revenues.

11 billion / 121km ~= 91 million in expenditures per square km.

11 billion / 350k household ~= 31,500: each household has to pay 2625 a month just to maintain the city revenues.

Kind of impressive isnt it!

> your house is not an investment, so you’re not entitled to returns beyond having a place to live. The current regime, where you can make tax-free millions for being in the right place at the right time, is not a good one.

I agree with this.

In the UK - as earlier stated, we don't have property tax. No capital gains tax is charged on disposal of a primary residence.

The CGT situation makes sense in the event that the entirety of the gain is re-invested in another home.

Otherwise, you end up in the absurd situation in which a person moving between two identical homes on the same street would take a loss of 20%, incentivising them to never move.

It might make sense to require that the proceeds of the sale be put towards another primary private residence (and have anything left over taxed).

It seems to me like that's not really your issue though.

> As a side effect, municipal tax revenues don’t scale with the now-inflated costs of provisioning municipal services.

This is a question of overall taxation, no? It's not relevant whether the money comes from a property tax on everyone, or an income tax on those that are of working age, or a general wealth tax, or corporation tax, or whatever else - it just needs to be paid for.

Again, I'm assuming here, but I think your argument is that increasing property taxes would decrease the cost of property.

It's pretty obvious that this is the case because it's effectively turning homeownership into a 'shared ownership' scenario whereby you pay rent to the state.
Fun story: why I got into hacker news in the first place was that I had a 3D printing startup way back in the day. I wrote a C extension to our rails app to slice up geometry to determine pricing. In some ways, this was a precursor to both my Rails and Rust work.

We were far, far too early...
Yep but they've toughened it up a bit in recent years (good for NZ to do so, in my humble opinion -- without wanting go into politics, I wish my own native country would do something similar). A few years ago I would have gotten permanent residency immediately. Now apparently it's really necessary, de facto, to have worked there before applying for it.
Usually the "Why" is always going to be some variant of, "The client wants this ASAP!", or "The client called and they are complaining about this bug".

Overall, good advice is to be frugal when starting a business. What someone told me that I found valuable was “Act like a poor person, not a rich person.”

Whether it’s a sole proprietorship or some other form of business, there’s an initial excitement period where it’s tempting to want to buy all the nice things to “look and feel official” when the business is first getting up and running. Fight that urge as much as possible.

I’ve seen people make some huge mistakes like thinking their office computer has to be a $3.5k maxed out iMac, or that they need the newest model vehicle as their company car, or even that they need to spend $2k on designer suits in order to sell stuff.

A lot of times what is “needed” gets conflated with what is “wanted”. Making due with less is better than getting stuck with more.

The last, but not least, item to remember: just because business expenses are tax deductible does not mean they are free.
Unpopular opinion: very little perhaps. You have to make sure all your your 3rd party dependencies have the same contingency plan as you do, but I guess it is going to be difficult to even figure that out...
> But even if the iOS SDK/libc has since dropped certain functions or POSIX headers, the kernel undoubtedly still supports it.

Fun fact: the kernel has continuously been dropping features that are seen as “unnecessary” on iOS. For example, I recently heard that iOS no longer supports setuid at all; the entire feature has been ripped out of the kernel because it’s not used.
Indeed there will be some piezoelectric effect and some EM emissions on the order of micro watts compared to the 10s of watts burned by the CPU. But the poster I was replying to seemed quite confused about the fate of power in a CPU used for computation: It’s dissipated as heat.
This is correct (or at least was a couple years ago).
Thanks for clarifying. My previous statement would be incorrect in that case.

I think maximum percent limits make sense. But, 7% might be a bit aggressive.

After all, a country's borders aren't necessarily the best indicator of cultural diversity brought by those people.
India (the biggest contributor to the H1B) is internally a lot more diverse than more ethnically homogeneous, yet highly populated countries such has Bangladesh, Russia, UK, Japan or France.
TCP has some real issues, MTU discovery is either slow or not enabled or not very smart on a lot of clients. Google, for some reason, doesn't want to fix tcp in Android, instead they went with implementing tcp inside of tcp (http/2), and since that ran into the obvious problems, they've realized that tcp over UDP is a better choice. As far as I can tell, they still haven't enabled TCP MTU discovery in Android though. Or build apis to allow applications to influence packetization and congestion control -- which is what is probably needed. The java apis for TCP are fairly inflexible too, to set most socket options you have to call into c code, and hunt around to get the FD.

No, not at all. There was a lot more to the internet than just the web which was a later arrival to the net. The internet had been around for years. TCP/IP had been standardised for a decade or so.

http was just one of many protocols, and should never have ended up being used for everything, it's not suited. There was plenty of reason to be online years before Mosaic too. They just didn't yet have pretty pictures, ads and tracking built in to every request. :p

I remember seeing Mosaic and thinking “meh, not much more than gopher”. I sure didn’t have the vision of where all that would lead!

Chimneys are a notable exception.
Awesome! That price might be hard to achieve any time soon. Mostly because the engineering team will be very expensive, so the price will have to be many multiples of the unit cost for some time. Such a thing might be possible at a $20k price in five to ten years, and a service company could offer that work on contract to many different households.

As robotics matures as a field, the engineering costs to accomplish this will go down, as will per unit costs. Maybe in 20 years time such a multi bot could be available. It’s hard to predict the future and probably of questionable merit. That said I’ve become much more pessimistic about timelines for robotics as I’ve continued to work in the industry.

My hope though is that open source robotics can keep pace with the industry as time goes on, just as open source operating systems have kept pace with their closed source counterparts. That way people will have options when the technology does become feasible.
You do not have to sign your development tools on your desktop machine to get them to install. To have a semi-usable situation, i.e. one where you’re not forced to reinstall your tools every week, you need to pay a non-negligible amount to Apple regularly so that you can sign and run this software. Porting Homebrew would never work, at least in it’s current state, not the least because it seems to be designed around everything going in /usr/local and breaking violently if you don’t stick everything in there and forcefully chmod/chown it to yourself ;P
More frustratingly, I can imagine a future where SCTP encapsulated in UDP, serving for what QUIC is going to end up doing, would have caused adoption of kernel-mode SCTP drivers and the addition of SCTP support in the damnable "middle boxes" driving this whole mess to begin with.
That is fantastic. I was looking exactly for a list like that one to build a online radio player on a small headless board. Thankyou!
Nah. Becoming part of the cultural lexicon is flattering enough. It's a great phrase largely because of the morbid origin.

I also think the term has taken on a bigger meaning since then, retroactively incorporating the merry pranksters lore. You really don't know what's in the kool aid, and whether it will be good or bad. That's what makes the phrase so versatile.

Someone elsewhere likened it to Galileo. Quillette is more like the Church. It says "the Earth is flat!" How many times do you walk someone through the math of proving the Earth is roundish before you realize it's futile? Unchecked confirmation bias always wins.
