I'd say California home prices are because they haven't built enough, and that people really love living in California.

California is a really nice place to live; great weather, great coast lines, great food, great people, etc. Most people don't live there on accident.

More seriously, it all depends on the "level" of service, and - ultimately - on the ratio waiters/served people, which is usually between 1/6-1/10 (excellent service) and 1/25-1/30 (scarce or lacking service).
You seem to be mixing up distro package managers and language package managers.

Distro package managers don't let you do versioning in any reasonable way, and they are OS-specific, so they are not good for versioning dependencies of a software project. In particular, if you want reproducible builds, you're out of luck.

> As a user I have absolutely no control or visibility of what versions of dependencies are in there.

Which is also true of header-only libraries for C, or vendored dependencies. While sometimes shared libraries are used by projects, it's certainly not the only way dependencies are handled in C/C++ land.

The only reasonable solution I see to combining a distro package manager with a language package manager is the nix package manager...if only it was more cross platform. As it is now, it only supports Linux and macOS.
It's possible via fiat too, by using cash.

One wonders how they get paid the ad money they earn?

Simple solution: "We take the first $25 in ad revenue your app generates and you keep the rest."

Complex solution: "We take 50% of the ad revenue your app generates unless you pay $25/month through outside means."

...unless they needed to create thousands of apps to make any income and 50% is cheaper than $25/app.
Personality tests are probably one of the worst ways to filter. It is actually a signal the company has no idea what they are doing and more than likely has terrible management.

My daughter wanted a subscription to the New Yorker for her birthday.

There were some promotions on their website (not some shady magazine broker). After going through all the motions, they happily tell you that you can expect the first issue in your mailbox about 3 months later... 3 months.

Medicare has a different negotiation system built in -- Medicare reimburses a fixed percentage of the minimum amount you charge, to anyone under any circumstances, for the same procedure. This means that doctors who accept Medicare have a price floor set for everyone else by the minimum they need to get from Medicare patients.

(Yes, procedures from doctors aren't the same thing as drugs from manufacturers.)

Yes. Please don't let it get to you.

Most people think that if they get fired, they should feel shame. This couldn't be further from the truth – especially with respect to medical issues.

Note that even if you had shared this with your boss, it's likely that you would have been fired anyway (in the US). It doesn't matter that it's illegal to do so. If your boss doesn't want you, they will find a legal reason to let you go.

It's a kick in the stomach to have this happen to you. But life isn't a set of fair trials with fair judgements. Try to remember that your employer cares about one thing: turning a profit. It's not really about you.

Now, the way out of this situation is to realize that you can help turn a profit for hundreds of thousands of other companies. All you need to do is search for them.

As for whether to be upfront with your condition or conceal it, I'm not sure. It's a coin toss. Anecdotally, those that don't conceal it get paid less. (I'm not talking about your condition specifically, but medical conditions in general.)

Just find a place you can be happy at. And remember that it does exist.
The Heritage link is in reference to the Office of Inspector General. The Office of Inspector General is independent of the Agency it oversees with a budget that Congress appropriates separately and it’s leadership is independent. Inspector Generals are political appointments and most are senate confirmed positions. Unlike most political appointments, the Inspector Generals stay on throughout Administrations and are only asked to leave if there are performance issues. The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to root out fraud, waste, and abuse. Office of Inspector Generals or OIGs perform financial audits, performance audits (program evaluations), inspections, and criminal investigations. Generally most reports are publicly available and posted on each OIGs website. OIGs are referenced in the media as the “internal watchdog.” Congress can request (and frequently does) OIGs to perform audits, evaluations, or inspections for oversight purposes. Each OIG has an anonymous hotline where employees, contractors, or the general public can report fraud, waste, and abuse. There are 73 OIGs in the Federal government with CIA being the first established by Congress. https://www.ignet.gov/

Except for the fact that this tunnel was trying to get developed in a way that first off, violated California Environmental laws, something that the government owned and built metro would have to spend millions of dollars and several years on in order to complete, and second, it would've increased the complexity of building an already budgeted heavy rail line under that part of the city.

LA is very capable at making decision that work for the greater good as the county has a sizable amount of power around taxation, and manages the regions transit authority. The parts of the region most notable for NIMBYism are largely only effective at delaying action rather than completely blocking it unlike in the bay area which has multiple counties to deal with.

Makes sense.

Yes, only a small subset of people in general have a good understanding of statistics.

- People on the radical left without a good understanding of statistics are often outraged by how they misunderstand how statistical should be interpreted

- People on the identarian right make outrageous statements the statistics can't support.

I try to avoid both misunderstandings by explicitly stating the caveat.

"Leaking" data they are supposed to have is not anywhere close to secretly recording user audio. They have plausible deniability with what you hear on news. There is no deniability when they are caught recording users. "Carelessness" does not lead an app to go rogue and start listening and transcribing audio.

Like I said, the problem I see with theory is that it doesn't hold ground even with all the assumptions one should be expected to make.

As for NSA, none of their surveillance was happening on the device. So that again is not the same as this theory.

Speaking Truth to Power – When the System Strikes Back
No, I haven't. I would love to see some actual numbers.

I imagined a quadrocopter-like air taxi would have a lower total cost of ownership than a helicopter because:

* Toy-scale electric quadrocopters are cheap as dirt and all aspects of that platform are totally commoditized.

* Electric vehicles should be cheaper to operate and maintain than corresponding combustion vehicles

* I imagine a quadrocopter system would be easier to modularize and platformize than a helicopter system given the fair simplicity and disconnectedness of various components. This should lead to better economies of scale . I don't see why the total commoditization we see in "toy" quadrocopter components would not spread to larger vehicles once they mature.

But, I don't know. I would love to hear the opinion of someone who is better informed than me.
The problem is NIMBYs think that no things improve the neighborhood. Everyone would say they are for things that improve the neighborhood, but some are reflexively anti-change.

That’s not entirely true when talking about auto-injectors that may or may not have needle hiding mechanisms, convenient form-factor, simple or well-known operation, or voice narration (auvi-q).

I am a parent of two young children with tree nut allergies, and I strongly prefer the Auvi-Q despite them gouging my insurer/employer. I use the generic epi-pen for school and child care since that’s what teachers are familiar with.

List price for Auvi-Q is around $5000 an injector. I carry _four_ of them everywhere I go. It’s utterly ridiculous for a dose of medicine worth less than $2, but when I need to use one I’m glad I’m not using a syringe or more complicated off-brand.

Ill have to go look into this, because if aws historic pricing for any large volume stream, quickly becomes untennable.

Its very easy to have gobs and gobs of time series points... aws might make using this way too expensive for anything at relative scale for a small startup?
Really depends on the use case. Working in healthcare, vital signs can be modeled as time series points, but are lower frequency than, say, metrics from servers. However we want to store every point so a spike is not missed. One could argue an unsustained spike is noise, but in the healthcare domain there may be a correlation with some external event (the purpose is surprised and their heart rate spikes).
Typically each new entrant prices lower than the previous entrant to gain market share. The PBMs and retailers already buy the Mylan authorized generic, which is the same product and same price as the Teva product. So they have ability to tell Teva that they need to drop the price or they wont work w them. This is a typical dynamic in newly generic pharma markets
I am sorry that you are struggling with this. I have no experience, but I would like to share any thoughts.

1. Having children and raising a family is a full time job.

2. If you want a family and a career, you are essentially doing two full time jobs.

3. This isn’t impossible as many people do it all around the world. The trick is to find support with family or friends or partners.

4. Infertility adds another twist to it. You have just taken on a third job. To get pregnant. And one where your reviews are not stellar.

5. I am framing this in the context of jobs and working because I am using your career as a baseline as it is clearly something you appreciate as part of your life.

6. Consider this..you have three streams right now. a. Work. b. Your personal life. c. Your infertility struggles. Do you really want them to co-mingle?

7. I wish you strength and courage. All I can suggest is to find a therapist. If that isn’t feasible, start a journal. If you feel you need feedback, make it a public blog..you can also maintain anonymity. There are in person support groups and online support groups. We are more connected than ever before and yet, we have more boundaries now.

Good luck.

What I find funny about this comment is that your experience of being a flabbergasted subject matter expert is basically the same for every SME in any domain on your team, your sister teams, etc. I've been there too.

It's rare to find developers who've deeply specialized in multiple different domains.
As a non-business but paying user, I had the opposite experience. They spammed me with over 10 emails "warning" me that my Dropbox subscription was about to expire, oh and also casually hinted the business plan was "better", even though I don't use anywhere close to the 1TB. Which of course made me cancel/not renew.

As much as a hate to say this, but their tech is solid and isn't the problem. It seems to be figuring out what the value-add is for different groups, and how to market it effectively. Or maybe cloud storage is saturated and not that interesting. (The size of SSDs also doesn't help for individual accounts which is either 1TB or nothing.)
They’d have to pay me a lot of money to do it, that’s for sure. I’d love to see the disaster recovery plans. Every major Lustre site I’m aware of has had a data loss “incident” at some point in their history. It’s possible AWS has it all figured out with background backups and block device replication and whatnot, but I’m skeptical.
I'm much more excited about this new offering: https://aws.amazon.com/qldb/ (Disclaimer: I work at Amazon but not on AWS).

A "cryptographically verified transaction log" seems like a much better alternative for almost all private blockchain use cases I've seen (there aren't many that make sense).

It's cool that AWS offering a productized version of Ethereum for customers who want it, but I imagine once people get past the buzzwords, it makes much more sense to have something centralized, or use a secure public blockchain like Ethereum / Bitcoin for public auditing.
Seconded, I think I've learned something new about life. I knew a similar idea which I'd call instant karma that is basically this but I wouldn't be able to word it so eloquently.
They didn't block it on any known Environmental grounds, CEQA exists to insure major infrastructure projects evaluate many options and attempt to find the most environmentally friendly option. In this particular case, it was almost certainly not building a low capacity tunnel for small vehicles and cars, but to build the already planned metro rail line without having to add engineering complexity to maneuver around a privately owned and built tunnel.

I'd also add that the use of concrete in tunneling does have a large environmental impact as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_concre...), so cheap tunneling wouldn't necessarily improve the environment in any clear way. The best solution for the environment will always be electric powered rail lines that are at grade, although that would be a poor choice from a transportation planning stand point.
The terseness of regex isn't about speed-of-typing but ease-of-reading. Once you get used to the syntax, you can pattern match in your head pretty easily (for any non-insane use of regex).

Pattern matching with a verbose syntax that is "easy to ready" has been done hundreds of times but it rarely translates into "easy to read" for anyone familiar with regular expressions.

It generally seems odd to me, but at my job we used to go at lunch time to a place which didn't do this, and they would simply lose one person's order some of the time (i'd say 1 in 10). It's really annoying to be the one person whose food hasn't arrived yet wondering for ages if they are being slow or have forgotten. This extra touch gives them the opportunity to find out that they forgot something without completely pissing off the customer.

My first full-time job out of school was exactly like that. At first I found it lonely as a lot of my peers were a decade or two older than me with kids, and mostly treated the job like a 9-5.

As investment into the company increased, more juniors were hired that had the similar life situations, liked to do similar activities, etc. My attachment to the company became much stronger after that.
This seems very harsh. These places need internet anyway, need electricity anyway (the lights will be on either way.) And need real estate anyway. What is your point?

The Ship Map
At my day job, I build a lot of machine learning systems that require data to be fed in a time series manner[1].

Often this means building systems to analyze terabytes of logs [semi]-realtime. All I have to say is - thank god! This is going to make my job a lot easier, and likely empower us to remove our current infrastructure setup.

I know at one point we actually considered building our own time series database. Instead, we ended up utilizing a Kafka queue with an SQL based backend after we parsed and paired down the data, because it was the only one quick enough to do the queries.

Should make a lot of the modeling I've worked on a bit easier[1].

Wrong. Restaurants are so loud because people are so loud.

My wife and I were at Freeman's in Downtown Manhattan the other day. It was so loud we decided to scream to see if anyone noticed. And since noone seemed to turn their heads, we screamed louder and louder, and literally no one could hear us.
