It's not whether the estimates are reliable or not, it's unwillingness to give any estimate at all.

Nobody should be held to an estimate if unforeseen things happen - the equivalent of the builder finding an unexploded a WW2 bomb but the inability to give any figure at all is incompetence.

Something like "if it all goes smoothly, two weeks, but library x is bleeding edge and could double that if it doesn't work as advertised." or "give me three days to build a prototype and try some edge cases and then I'll be able to give you a firmer figure." is acceptable and at least gives someone idea if a featurev is worth the cost of building it.
"Renewable energy" is a perfect term, but I think that it has the same negative connotation for the people who have an aversion to the term "clean energy".
"In “Idiocracy,” the secretary of state is sponsored by Carl’s Jr., a company whose chairman very nearly became our current secretary of labor. In 2505, the Oval Office is occupied by an ex-wrestler and porn star named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho; our president has been on the business end of a Stone Cold Stunner and once appeared in a nonpornographic segment of an otherwise soft-core Playboy VHS tape, dumping sparkling wine onto a limousine. His name is a brand name, too." [1]

> The reason you can't POST a transaction [1] is primarily that due to ~25 years of Web inertia that has hardwired people's brains into thinking that the request lifecycle is that a request comes in, you deal with it, you emit your response, and then you drop all state on the floor.

I think that's still true if we're talking ephemeral state, like session data. Caching such data is an optimization, but conceptually we should be able to toss it at any point.

If you need to keep state, then it needs to be durable with a well-defined lifetime, and so this state should itself be a resource.
I totally agree. There are so many embedded stuff running Python 2 out there that it will go nowhere. For me the countdown is a joke.
It's a common a priori moral argument about how many people think people should derive utility from material circumstances, sure, but “stop feeling pain from relative deprivation” is about as effective as “stop feeling pain from me twisting your arm”, even if you think it is morally obligatory for people to disregard having their arm twisted.
Kneading was not "discovered" decades ago. A quick google search yielded (https://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/traded-goods-dic...)

Kneading Trough - A WOODEN trough or TUB in which to knead dough in order to make BREAD. Common before 1660, they become rather less common thereafter, possibly indicating a gradual abandonment of home baking.

1660, just a few decades.

Besides kneading (which wasnt one), can you name some other "significant innovations in bread-making" that are being made?
A little trollish, but now that Democrats have a veto-proof majority (meaning Gavin Newsom is really just a spokesperson, his opinion is irrelevant, he cannot veto legislation), Californians only have one party to ask why the State is the way it is....the #1 poverty State.

Not only can Californians no longer blame Republicans (there basically aren't any left in the State), they can't even blame the Governor...he is truly pointless as he can no longer even veto legislation.
$20k might be less than what it would cost them in rent to allocate you that much space, depending on how fancy your office building is.
There is a saying (which I can't remember the source) that I always thought described regex perfectly in my experience.

"Beginner programmers don't understand regex, good programmers understand regex, the best programmers don't use regex."

I've found regex is a poor choice in production systems because it is very hard to maintain (which this library tries to address) and very hard to test (which this library does not address).

However, regex is perfect for that complicated one-time find and replace.

> I seriously don't think they care if we use Baidu or not. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the party would PREFER that we NOT use Baidu.

If the world used Baidu, it would be a propaganda coup for the CCP. They'd have the ability to disappear information they want to suppress (like criticism of the camps in Xinjiang), and freely push propaganda and disinformation (a la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Infektion).

Think about it: if the web existing in the 1980s and the Soviets controlled the world's main search engine, the top results for "AIDS" would be disinformation articles about how the US government created it.

So, I'm sure the CCP would like the world to use Baidu, but it might not be high on their list of priorities to push right now.

Or even "free energy" if you want to go really eye-catching.

Or "independent/freedom energy" to highlight that building up renewables pushes independence from resources provided
by foreign nations.

Along those lines, how about "secure energy" since energy independence is a national security issue as well.
You could certainly appeal to their appreciation for reliability. Consider this, does an electric vehicle have ANY emissions reducing equipment at all that one must maintain?

The unreliability of the emissions gear is usually what comes up when I talk to diesel folks. Rolling coal is a fun extra for them.

Just musing now, but the diesel guys today seem to say a lot of the same things the gas guys said in the 80s with their EGRs and cats and vacuum lines galore under the hood destroying their reliability. Gas got variable timing and direct injection, and is no longer so fragile. Maybe there's some room left for innovation there, maybe not.

The hardline copyright view is that to "index" content from a website, you need to make a copy of that content in your indexing server, which is an action copyright law legally prohibits without an explicit exception. (The people who argue that somehow also seem to argue that publishing the webpage legally gives "explicit permission" for your web browser to make a copy, without also giving permission for your web scraping software to do so. Not sure how they get to _that_ position logically...)
Grey or Gray: What’s the Difference?
My argument was only that bringing the cost down would make it easier to build a more reliable P2P network. I doubt that reliability/cost are the main reasons P2P networks aren't more popular, rather that the average person doesn't really care or even know about their existence.

Ska's spot on here. We're not paying high end CA wages to _everyone_; however, our remote employees are making _much_ higher than the norms in most of their areas. We require a lot of breadth/depth for the main remote position. If you were to look at glassdoor, comparably, or paysa .. they would suggest this position for our company pays on average of 145 to 150k salary (w/o bonus / RSUs .. which would significantly raise that num obvi).

At most places the "talent is your #1 resource" is bullshit. Ours is not and is a key to us being profitable (it's actually rolled into our comp model).
At the moment we have non-searchable PDFs coming in to a network drive. These are manually reviewed and sent to the relevant GP's inbox (or to nursing or to management) as necessary, with the relevant patient selected so all the doctor has to do is read it and hit "accept" or "seen". They're not willing to do more than that, of course.

Adding in OCR to make the documents searchable doesn't help a lot on its own. Just because one of our GP's names is listed on a fax doesn't mean it's actually for them, nor does another name mean it is the patient in question. A lot of names get put on these documents. Every fax we get is laid out differently, there's no consistency of any kind. Faxes being unreliable means we are sent plenty of duplicates, half-sent documents, and upside down ones too.

Nothing can beat an electronic message that contains the recipient doctor's ID, the patient's name and birth date (we have plenty with same names), and all the other relevant info. It's the only way forward.

I don't even bother going as far as you, I have a rock bottom set of criteria they must pass before I'll do anything but mark it as spam:

2) Give some indication you've read my resume, such as mentioning a technology listed on it. Not something I've never included.

3) Something about the job. Anything at all, even just what city it's in.

That I can recall, only once has a recruiter passed. Kinda felt bad at turning down what seemed like the only recruiter who was competent at their job.

All comedy exaggerates and stereotypes. You are just butthurt that people like you are the butt of the joke.

> low-skill but non-automatable jobs that require organically-optimized things that all people have but machines don't, like fingers and eyes.

Machines already have those. They're just more costly and clunky than humans, often by a relatively small margin.

Ah yes, I just noticed that in the docs. That’s a good thing to note, though you could still run into the problem with very large ranges (maybe reading 1 million keys is a rare use case?).
You shouldn't comment so snarkily to someone you don't know. I understand what a drawn position is, however players will regularly agree to a draw well before it actually happens. They choose to draw because of potential drawn positions. There's no reason for a game not to continue until there is an actual stalemate (or a set of similar circumstances, like a situation in which checkmate is impossible), or a blunder by one of the opponents.

> I'm sure you'll get downvoted to kingdom come, but I actually checked out the included links - interesting stuff

Oh, indeed I shall. Still, we're sold a bundle of goods by the capitalists that "unions are evil" and et cetera, yet when when it is advantageous to the very capitalists, they form unions of their own to hold down the very workers' wages.

Now, some unions do indeed suck. They were ineffective and only lacklusterly fought for employee rights. Yet, many demanded fair compensation and safe working conditions. And with companies forming unions, are pushing both of those down.

Look at FAANG on glassdoor and news websites. They're no rosy pictures, unless you're in ML at the top. But that price bump is just temporary. It'll come down in time.

What I'd hope is that tech realizes that the capitalists are treating us IT people as yet more line workers. Where once we had rooms, they dissolved to cubicles. From cubicles, we only wish we had them as now it is "open office" concepts. Insurance premiums keep going up, and compensation keeps lowering. And with more automation, the demand for more work skyrockets. 'Fire 2 and let the 3rd take over'. Ive read those stories again and again.

IT needs unions, now more than ever. It is the only counteracting force when 'They' (capitalists) are indeed out to get us.

They can't help it. Their entire employee base is terminally infantilized.
As someone who lives in the outer bay area, pay for jobs hasn't really gone up at all in the last 8 years, but the tech industry has really pushed the cost of living up a lot. I can't say I've noticed a drop in pay outside of the media industry since that's what I work in. And a lot of that has to do with the cost of gear now and the supply is so high buy the demand hasn't grown that much.

Most of my neighbors are contractors / construction workers. Nobody I know can fathom buying a home. But until last year things were fairly stagnant for them. There is a lot more construction going on now, but it's mostly to turn homes we can't afford into vacation rentals.
Fair enough...I've pretty much only lived/worked in SF and MV/SV/SC so my perspective is centered around them.

> There hasn't been large-scale political violence in China since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. That ten-year period killed 5-10 million on the high end. Which is, of course, quite bad, but in comparison to the 50-80M that died in ostensibly capitalist Europe during WWII, it doesn't seem that outsized.

> So for burden of proof, I think you need to argue that an alternative model would have resulted in less political violence and more economic prosperity than that for China. Good luck.

The Communist China's Great Famine[0] is said to have caused the deaths of tens of millions of people, as much as 30-40M, depending on who is guesstimating.

I am not sure I would call that a triumph of economic prosperity for China.

> Not only can Californians no longer blame Republicans

Assuming republicans are at fault (I know nothing of California state politics, so not taking a side here) it will take years to decades to move beyond any damage their policies caused. Politicians aren't free of blame they day they're voted out.
How might this apply to content on a personal website? What I'm gathering from the article/discussion is that a Copyright message in my footer may not be enough to copyright all my works.

> News organisations like the music industry before them need to realize that a huge part of what people used to pay them for was the reliable distribution of their product. This and the markup on it was where they made their profits and now its gone.

A viable, independent media is vital to a well-functioning democracy. I just realized that the implication decision behind of all this talk (about how the new media need to find a viable business model) is that our system of government shouldn't stand unless some of its vital organs are profitable in a dog-eat-dog capitalist system. Capitalism is given a higher priority than democracy.
Reading a million individual keys would be quite rare I would guess, but that isn’t really the issue for a large range. The keys at the start and the end of the range are what’s counted in that case. So if you read the range A-Z, the size is only those two keys A and Z, not the size of keys in between.

More relevant for the current storage engines (although changing in a future storage engine from digging through the code and the abstract for an upcoming talk) is the five second transaction duration limit. That’s just because the multi-version data structure only includes the last 5s of versions.
>>when you give people who have proven themselves capable of efficiently allocating capital (i.e. the rich) more capital, they continue to allocate it to its best and most productive use for society.

You are making some wild assumptions that require evidence. Specifically, you need to prove that the reason rich people are rich is because they "have proven themselves capable of efficiently allocating capital", as opposed to (or at least independent of) other factors, such as luck, inheritance, etc. You also need to prove that the way the rich allocate resources, even when "efficient" (i.e. provides the most return) is actually good for society as a whole, and not just the rich.

the jobs that are mentioned in the article that are being hit the hardest are teachers, firefighters, caretakers and so forth. How many of those have been automated away?

It seems that tech workers in the valley have found their own analog to blaming immigrants for downward wage pressure, their particular boogeyman seems to be the robots.

No, the answer is much more trivial. As the article points out, the huge influx of capital in the area is being returned only to the tech sector, who merrily spend it and drive up the cost of living. The machines are not to blame for this one.

Absolutely true, hence the assumptions. It also assumes the OP's prior pay wasn't atypically high e.g. to fill a very specific need such as self driving computer vision refinement.
