Reminds me of the time I was working at the Air Force Academy hospital in the basement warehouse in the mid 2000s. There were a few computers, and I wanted to mess with one of my coworkers (a senior airman) who was sitting at the desk in front of me.

There's a Windows command "net send" where you can make a pop up dialogue appear on a user's computer with a custom message. The problem was, I didn't know his exact username, so I did "net send * 'What's up dog??'". The dialogue popped up on his computer, he looked confused, and I was giddy. So I went further and sent a few more, including "You suck at computers" and "Your computer has been infected with a virus, sucka". It wasn't until a few minutes later when some visibly distressed IT personnel rushed into the warehouse and started interrogating people and checking the computers one by one that I realized something was terribly, terribly wrong. Apparently the dialogues were popping up on every single computer in the entire hospital, including the commander's (a full colonel).

I'm sure there would have been more disciplinary action had I not been a high school civilian intern. Everyone started calling me "Neo" from then on, but in a derogatory way.

You can delete your interface once all clients are migrated off the interface. At that point, delete the docs.

Yes, you should never change your interface.

But docs can poorly written (bad implementation) and deserve edits, just as code can be poorly written and deserve edits.
You could take almost anyone, really. Just measure every citizen according to their contributions to society, and when four productive and useful citizens have need of a heart, a liver, two kidneys and a pancreas between them, just harvest a citizen that's not as productive as all of these four combined.

Of course, you maximize utility by choosing someone who does not contribute a lot to society, and _ideally_ someone who is a net negative. That's a win-win situation. The West is incredibly wasteful with our pie-in-the-sky dreamy research on artificial organs, when such a net positive solution is readily available.

It's frightening that a moral argument can be made along these lines. Does anyone really subscribe to this view? I am unfamiliar with Eastern philosophy, but this seems ludicrous.

It’s worth noting that if you shoot a cannonball dead horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time as it would if dropped from the same height [1].

It just has more horizontal speed, so it travels sideways a decent amount during its fall.

Anyways, yes, the ISS is scooting sideways so fast that, in the time it would have taken to fall straight down, the ground beneath it has dropped away by an amount equal to its initial height, so the thing stays at the same altitude.

[1]: *This hurt my brain when I first heard it, but I promise it’s true: it’s just that cannons are normally fired at an upward angle, giving them upward velocity and thus “hang time.”

It seems that an ever-increasing number of basic behavioral decisions facing western populations have large abstract consequences and can be described by the basic shape:

A) Option that marginally (and in some cases significantly) increases personal convenience while incrementally undermining the long-term probability of western moral aspirations maturing to their full promise and forming the basis of a more human-centric global future.

or

B) Option that rejects the temptation of new gadgetry / marginal personal convenience improvements but that withholds some small amount of fuel from the growing moral conflagration. This option is increasingly associated with social circle friction.

This is perfectly exemplified, on a much less serious level than human organ harvesting and trade policy, by the Chrome vs. FireFox situation, or by the choice to use FaceBook.

There needs to be a realization that the current version of extreme economic policies governing large multi-national corporations like Google, FaceBook, Exxon, etc., are diametrically opposed to western moral aspirations w.r.t human rights, and are in fact fueling the demise of said aspirations. These corporations are not "American" or "Chinese" or "Other Nationality" in any way that matters for actual human beings, but exist as increasingly-autonomous global entities that are radically reshaping the geopolitical landscape and diverting increasing amounts of power to actors that have an open disdain for the human condition. People who oppose the current trends of inequality growth, corruption normalization, environmental exploitation, human rights abuses, and other deleterious effects of extreme capitalism don't seem to have an option other than to reject the consumerist culture / mindset that it's all built upon.
That article proves my point pretty well - they were talking about commercial operations starting in 2009. It's almost 2019 now, and they haven't had a single commercial flight.

And, yeah, it's tough to specifically define what's "toxic" and/or "offensive." But YouTube's algorithms are unforgivably dumb about it.
Is their "brilliant relational data storage system" the reason that YouTube can never show me the same list of my own videos I've uploaded to my account? One device shows one list, another shows another list (with some overlap), and going into different views of channel editing cause the lists to turn into yet another list. Maddening, and it's been doing it for years.
That's fair. The Bay is terrible, I've experienced it firsthand for four years. My point, however, is that high costs of living and poor wages exist regardless of people's "empathy" and awareness of "wealth inequality".

My experience traveling to Suzhou and Kyoto confirm what you are saying.

I wonder what all the factors are that contribute to the increase in small businesses. I would like to see an increase in these types of retail businesses and restaurants. Kyoto, and to a lesser proportional degree Suzhou, have much more tourism than Seattle has. Both cities experience more foot traffic. Both cities are much older. I wonder if there are any differences on the retail market, business capital market, or legal regulations that encourage empty retail spots to be quickly filled in Kyoto and Suzhou. I wonder if Asian retailers feel strong competition from online orders. The Seattle housing market, either with market forces or legal regulation, have more complete kitchens than the Kyoto/Suzhou housing market. I wonder what effect this has on the restaurant market.

> On a related note, I'd love to see more restaurants that fit only 5 or 6 people in them, with just a chef running the whole show. Is it less efficient? Maybe, but the food is better.

Food trucks are a very close approximate to this type of restaurant.

To add to the other comments, using serverless with AWS Lambda has been very useful for us in our data pipeline, in a large part because you can hook them up to respond to a number of events like S3 uploads, updates to dynamo tables, or to an SNS or message queue topic. It scales up effortlessly and is very cheap to run. Could we have done this by avoiding serverless? sure but we would have to maintain quite a bit more infrastructure - why do that when someone else can handle that infrastructure cheaply?
I realize my example is provider-specific but I think having them act as asynchronous data transforms and workflows are where the serverless really shines, especially given the invocation overhead of 20-30ms or so when hot, and several seconds when cold.

We have run into instances where the serverless model doesn't work so well, like when we updated our graphql API to query a postgres store - each lambda invocation created its own connection pool and would overload the database. Currently theres no way to reliably persist those somewhere else and have the lambdas pick up the persistent connection (like how a redis session store would work) - perhaps that will change. the lambdas work best when they're more-or-less "pure functions", so if you have to keep things like sql connection pools, or a session around, you still need your own persistent server.
No, growth following infrastructure is the "bridge to nowhere" model. Growth does not follow infrastructure, infrastructure follows growth.

Paying for infrastructure you can't use just means you're poorer and less able to grow.
The premise that a someone went to lengths to fabricate a substantial portion of them would indicate that the comments do in fact matter to somebody, specifically somebody with a vested interest against NN.
MTA's union is heavily opposed to anything that will result in less jobs. Even with the CBTC system that is mostly automated they put two people in the train instead of just one.

I'm pro union and worker's right but the MTA definitely fits lot of the negative stereotypes of unions.

Yes, population centers have historically grown up around trade routes. Population grows around transit that is already in use, in order to provide services along the route.

But a route that nobody uses doesn't have any surplus around which a population would grow.
>If the comments matter only because the law requires them, that's a very weak argument.

If the law requires that they be considered in the process of creating policy, then fraudulently spamming comments is a direct attempt to subvert the policy making function of the FCC.

We cavalierly assume the comments do not matter because of an underlying assumption; that FCC Chair Pai will not actually consider them regardless of their contents, and that he functionally controls the decision to enact or repeal NN regulations. Imagine if we had a different FCC chair - would the comments still not matter?

There are two problems preventing the comments from fulfilling their intended function, but the existence of a second problem (Pai's refusal to discharge the duties of his office honorably) does not negate the first (the fraudulent corruption of the public comments record).
I feel like searching for the solution may become time-consuming because you have to search the right set of keywords to find the answer, which may or may not be an intuitive set

What? Generalizations about Europe always seem to fail. Credit cards are widely used in Europe. In some European countries cash is starting be used rarely and payment is mostly done with a card or a phone.

One might argue that one benefit of the European system is that credit card processing fees imposed on the retailers are regulated, which ultimately causes credit card "points" to be uncommon. This in turn makes life simpler because there is no need to game the credit card benefits system. You can, however, get up to 0.5% cash back at least where I live.

Most of the tunnels have 4 tracks, so shutting down even half of them will not disrupt commuting all that much, especially if not done for a very large length. In many places, it will somehow slow down express trains. MTA did this e.g. in Brooklyn on the B/Q line.

I'm afraid that computer-driven trains mostly mean no need for people "driving" the trains, and the trade union won't be happy with that.
>Why would they expect this account to be used as a high-velocity, low-balance account rather than a park-your-savings account, given the rate?

Think of it like being a health insurance salesman who puts your office at the top of a long flights of stairs. You can have a lower risk pool because the only clients who come to see you are the ones who can climb a bunch of stairs to get there.

In other words, they advertise to a user-base that doesn't have much in the way of savings so they're avoiding people who would keep high balances anyway.

Besides, most people who do have large balances tend to park them in money market funds anyway. They can usually hit between 2% to 3% annually and offer more flexibility in terms of being able to access the money without transferring balances around. Alternatively they'll be putting it in tax-deferred accounts.

If you have enough money coming in that you can accrue a lot of savings, a savings account isn't the most productive place to put it. It should be regarded as more of a rainy day fund or a place to park money that you're saving up for something specific, like a down payment.
I am not sure about that. It's how you are holding the money and not Robinhood. When I put 100,000 in cash in Robinhood and I am not converting it into to some Robinhood tokens that get appreciated by 3% every year. I keep it in USD. So it should be cash as per the SIPC definitions.

But I am not an expert and don't take my advice.
