I'm curious on why people love to set up their companies in the city or live in the city. I mean, there are plenty of office space in Fremont, for example, and living in the Bay Area is much more pleasant than in the city. I was wondering what's so enticing about city life. Bars? But bars are so noisy and anti-social. I never get it.
Just caller ID, and even then it seems like it’s between service providers only - you have to trust your carrier to validate signatures and reject bad/missing ones.
I've lives a while in Seattle (childhood to 2010) and San Francisco 4 years ago to present. My take on it is that San Francisco isn't really significantly better or worse than comparable dynamic cities. It's got good cultural, social, and economic opportunities. But it's nothing super special, and it largely doesn't justify the cost unless you're getting paid a premium to live there (thus why it's dominated by higher paid workers mostly in tech).

I'm not so sure whether it's fair to say that this is the wealthy people deliberately imposing exclusory policies. It's mostly long time residents that are anti-development and favor nativist policies like rent control. Most of the tech workers I know want the city to build more housing and remove nativist policies. But some, like proposition 13, are enacted by the state and our ability to remove them is very limited.

Spot on mate! I still don’t understand why we are still reinventing the wheel .. we have been through Solaris zones and VMware and Fargate yet here we are talking about hypervisor again.

Now Kubernetes and the ecosystem may seem very interesting to many engineers but in terms of its cost to the business what is it really buying the business? For long timers like us it seems like old wine in new bottle.

This, and many, many other interesting use-cases is quite simple if you port your number to Twilio and create your own carrier inside their service.

I did this about 18 months ago and love the results. I manipulate and use the telephone network in many useful and interesting ways, all programatically, through twilio.
In a similar vein, my favorite quote so far:

"The idea that a schedule is God leads to infinite defects, as explained above. Also, the belief that a schedule must be ambitious so that the development team will work hard is severely misguided." (bottom of page 12)

Those two sentences, written almost 30 years ago now, pretty much sum up my perspective on how software projects are scheduled. I think plenty of companies have yet to learn this lesson. In fact, so many of the things in this document reflect things many organizations, to my knowledge, still struggle with today.

I'm also just amazed at how deep this goes and how personal it is. Its creation must have upset a lot of people.
Just for context, this article was written by Christopher Rufo, a very conservative politician who ran for the Seattle City Council against Mike O'Brien (district 6, Ballard, Loyal Heights, Crown Hill) for roughly two weeks until Rufo dropped out while accusing "O'Brien activists" of "extreme harassment."

Rufo's platform, just before he enter-exited the race, can best be described as "arrest them all and do it enough times that they move to Eugene." He's only one in a long line of brief candidates who want to immediately ramp up all kinds of law enforcement activity while we "consider proper funding levels" for social services, with no professed idea for what happens when the people we've arrested for vagrancy walk out of the King County Jail in downtown Seattle.

The one thing he and I agree on is that the outputs for our inputs are not at all acceptable but I don't agree at all with what little he proposed to do about it.

You connect to other carriers directly. Some of them will connect you to other carriers, and so on.

So for example if you’re a small operation you will just connect to one carrier like Twilio or Nexmo and it’s up to them to connect you to everyone else.

When you get bigger you may be able to set up “routes” (that’s how they’re called in the industry) to carriers directly.

So yes, carriers do see where the calls are coming from, however given that it’s commonplace to route your calls through a carrier that has no relationship to the originating number, there’s no easy way to tell whether a number is spoofed or not.

There is a solution which is to respond to complaints and stop interconnecting with a carrier that spews too much garbage, but that would go against the entire industry’s business model so nobody cares to do it.

"I would love to be able to block all numbers coming from my area code and the first 3 digits of my number."

Very easy with Twilio. As I mentioned elsewhere in this HN thread, I ported my number to Twilio about 18mos ago and use-cases like this are quick and easy to implement.

In fact, I have noticed the same behavior (spam calls coming from the same NPA+prefix as my number) and I might just implement that this evening ...
A Workman's Guide to Deploying Django on Kubernetes
Split brain patients will often have one half of their brain invent explanations for why the other half did something. The explaining half believes these explanations to be true. Which suggests pretty heavily that even the decisions that humans make aren't as explainable as they seem.

Imo, this whole explainability thing is an incorrect human intuition that we're imposing on AI. If you want unbiased AI, explainability isn't the way to do it. Instead judge its performance against explicit criteria for what counts as bias. If those criteria don't exist or can't be agreed on then the problem is hopeless from the outset.
Hundreds of thousands of engineers are writing "production ready" C++ code every day. Your point seems trivially falsifiable, unless you want to turn it into a no-true-scotsman situation and explain how what they're "really" writing isn't "C++" or whatever.

I'm not saying Rust is bad. I'm saying it's... becoming senselessly complicated. And that in 20 years when 60% of its amazing new features turn out to be just fashion (because they happens to everything), Rust will be "ugly" then in basically the same way that C++ is now, and we'll all be chasing some other new hotness.

Imagine a service where you type in a phone number, and it used the GPS location data sold by cellular providers to obtain the physical location of the phone number. It would then autonomously fly a drone near the GPS location of that device and use an onboard cell-site spoofer to intercept data from that device.

That’s all possible today.
I ended up getting a tech job in south Orange County (working at a satellite office of a SV company) because I couldn't bring myself to pay Bay Area rent.

I can't even imagining owning a house _here_, let alone in the bay. Buying a house is generally something adults in America aspire to doing, but in California it's basically a mark of wealth. The amount of cash you have to stuff away for a down payment of sufficient size to not be fleeced by the banks is astronomical.

I'm really considering transferring to Austin at some point.

Counterpoint:

In the history of the industry no mass-market computing platform has been safer than the flagship hardware/software platforms from Apple and Google --- on no platform does an exploitable vulnerability cost more to obtain, and no platforms have ever been more capable of establishing secure channels between themselves.

SS7 is insecure. But operational practices at both the carriers and inside governments rely on those insecurities to get jobs done, and some of those jobs are important and enjoy wide support. Anything we do to shore up the security of SS7 will, almost necessarily, include compromises most of us here will find hateful, and we'll be stuck with those compromises for another generation.

Rather than "fixing the potholes" in GSM and SS7, we could instead accept that the cell signaling layer is insecure, and route around those weaknesses with application code that can establish end-to-end secure channels accountable only to their users. That's pretty close to what Apple has already done with SMS text messaging, which opportunistically upgrades to Apple's secure iMessage protocol. We can do even better than that!

That's what we've done with the Internet, where this approach is called "the end to end argument in system design". It worked there and will work just as well for telephony.
As someone from the Rust Belt, the "San Francisco is awful" mentality is puzzling to me. Awful compared to what? Seattle? Some other world class city? If it's so bad why don't you move somewhere cheap like Cleveland? Oh wait, you don't want to, because Cleveland is worse. For the record, I like Cleveland, I grew up there, real estate is affordable, it has a lake, but it is no San Francisco. That said, I'd still never call Cleveland awful, it's better than where most of the world lives. Have some perspective.

After 20 years in the Bay Area, I left just over two years ago. I moved across the world to Saigon, Vietnam. I had never lived outside of California before.

I did not leave because I hated SF, I left because I wanted to do something else with my life. In a way, for the same reasons I stopped going to Burningman after the 5th time. There is other things to do in life than just experience one city.

One thing about the bay area is that it definitely goes through cycles. I went through that many times. You can't take it personally that your friends want to do something else with their life. The expectation that we stay in the bay area until we die seems obtuse to me.

I was back recently for a work trip (consulting) and I did not miss it at all. I realized that at the end of the day, I was doing it wrong for myself. I was leading a consumerist lifestyle of click buying things I did not really need on Amazon or paying $20 for lunch every day. Now that I have changed those patterns, I am much happier and more free.

"... and food is above average for an American city ..."

The food in San Francisco and Marin is the best food in the world, by a fair margin.

In 2018, food, food venues, eating environments and every other aspect of dining, the world over, is being invented and reshaped in San Francisco.

Go anywhere else in the world, at any price point, from the first class lounge at Hong Kong airport to the mall food court in Granada, Spain, and everyone is inspired by, or directly copying, what is being done here.

EDIT: my parent spoke not of a particular restaurant, but the food of the city, generally. That is what I am talking about - not who has the best BBQ joint in your favorite BBQ genre, but which city has the best food (as opposed to "above average for an American city").

I stand by the assertion that food(ie) culture, worldwide, is being driven by SF.

OK yours is the second comment to talk about "Users". IMO this first-impression-based design methodology, like we're writing some consumer CRUD app for the startup [proverbial] you're gonna quit in <= 3 years, is a terrible skeumorphic philosophy for designing languages. Languages are for more terrible; programs last (too?) long; long-future readers may be expert or knowledge.

Let me response point-by-point

> It's not a thing your users see. The "syntactic sugar", as you call it, is the interface between you and your users.

Users can and should learn the core language too. It's can allow compressing the information in the brain just as it allows reducing the code in the implementation.

> In a good world, they do not care how the rest happens in practice.

Again, I believe the core language is a meaningful thing to study and learn, not just some shove-under-the-rug implementation detail. You clearly don't, and your conclusion is indeed implied by that presupposition. It's hard to argue either from other principles so let me say it is widely held by those that study programming languages and work with cutting-edge programming languages: My axiom has more buy-in by the relevant in-groups. Maybe out-groups with yours are right and we are bad designers, or maybe those out-groups should accept a non-trivial learning curve vs permanent complexity.

> The lower levels do not drive the higher level in roughly any case.

This is wrong. As someone active with RFC discussion for both Rust and Haskell, this empirically not the case. Ideas are constantly proposed and vetted based on whether they fundamentally extend expressiveness or are just sugar.

> First you understand what users want at a high level

Yes, languages changes should and are be driven by end goals, but end goals != surface syntax!!

> There are nothing but tradeoffs in mid level IRs

What does this even mean? Surface syntax is full of tradeoffs too.

> those tradeoffs change over time based on the needs of languages, not the other way around.

Again, once the MIR/core exists, RFCs heavily reference them so this is false.

> Driving a language based on what you can accomplish in a mid level IR would be incredibly silly - "Welp, we better use this form of parallelism at a high level because we chose coroutines in the mid level IR" should never occur. Instead, the answer is "we change the mid level IR to best support the form of high level parallelism we want in the language".

This leads me to think you don't know much about IRs in these langauges in practice. Neither Rust's or Haskell's IR has any notion of concurrency precisely because nothing good enough has presented itself. Both language use syntactic / "encapsulation tricks" (See Haskell using the IO monad to avoid the value restriction of OCaml, Rust's Send and Sync) to chew off some safe subset that works with many modules. An IR with a deep/"semantic" understanding of concurrency doesn't exist for these "production" languages, though I hope http://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/ could get Rust there someday.

That's the thing -- if one gets top both define what "intolerant" means AND banish those deemed intolerant, that's a moral hazard right there. Even if those doing the judging sincerely believe that their opponents truly are intolerant.

And as an example, "Paradox of Tolerance" was widely used to justify firing Damore (e.g. Zunger's criticism of the memo just about boiled down to "he's intolerant and bad, because he's bad and intolerant, and us, the tolerant and good people should punch him in the kisser". Even though whatever problems there are with the memo, one has to go on a hunt for something, anything to be offended, to find intolerance as a visible problem with it. But if you scream about the paradox loud enough, it (almost) makes you look like you're in the right...

NB: not expressing any opinions on memo's correctness.
