Driving and busses are absolutely not a viable replacement for the subway in NYC, at anytime of day.
Hmm, that's an interesting point. I wasn't thinking of Holden as a classic villain per se. I don't know about LHOP, but could be they were just flat and poorly written characters? (Not to offend any fans, not every character must be fully developed!).

I guess that's all it is. Holden was not a great guy, but he was developed and at least somewhat complex (although I've seen a fair amount of reduction in this thread). That goes a long way to making a character relatable. Yes, Peter's an absolute dick, but he has reasons for being one that make sense to him, if not everybody else.

FTR, much more controversial than saying Holden was a whiny kid, I found Frodo Baggins to be largely insufferable, but that didn't stop me from enjoying LOTR.
Jack Bogle, Blackrock, and other knowledgeable market participants are predicting lower future returns into the future (~4%) for a variety of reasons (structural, global and domestic growth that won’t be repeated), muting any arbitrage benefit between your mortgage rate and investment market returns. History will show (IMHO) homeowners should’ve just applied more towards their mortgage principal, and thrown solar on their roof if they could from a risk adjusted returns perspective (both “investments” I list are guaranteed, whereas the equities and non-US treasuries bond market is not).
Have you ever lived in NYC? This is just plainly wrong.
I had Kaiser years ago and while the quality of care was high I remember eight- to ten-week waits to see certain specialists for non-critical issues.

The HMO approach concerns me more as someone with special medical needs -- I would strongly prefer the flexibility to see a specialist that is experienced with my specific condition as I've had problems with doctors whose only experience with my condition is in a textbook
I think this boils down to two things:

1) Algorithmic tech products replacing basic services are growing beyond even their creators' control

2) Analog computing will replace these algorithmic products and fix all the problems

I disagree. Not with the "growing beyond control" bit, I think that's clear, but to the analog computing bit.

First, Dyson doesn't explain what he means by analog computing, other than a basic "operates on real numbers and continuous functions." He also doesn't give any clues about what hardware or software for these systems will look like, or specifically how they will outcompete what we have now (Google, FB, etc).

Second, I think he's wrong. The only things that determine the broad direction of society are who has the power and money. This has been true as far back as you go, whether kings or merchant guilds or the citizenry, when enough of them decide to work together for a revolution. And there's one fact Dyson ignores:

No matter how much or little control the owners of these algorithmic tech products have over the direction and consequences of their use, they still get the money.

As long as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and the others are making the money, the unintended consequences of their algorithms dictating the shape of our lives will continue to be irrelevant.
In those projects the libc is part of the tree. In Linux it is not the case. This is logically consistent for the project at hand. You can advocate a different way and I can agree but it wouldn't be Linux. (I am no stranger to BSD either. Been using *BSDs in some form for 19 years.)

By the way Windows CRT ships new versions with Visual Studio out of devdiv... So Windows doesn't even work that way if you draw the boundary at libc. This is part of my comment, I don't understand which part of it is MS doing it right? Ntdll abstracting sysenter? Kernel and advapi abstracting ntdll? I don't think the latter example is one of great technical execution, it just sort of happened to promote compatibility with 9x and they're stuck with it.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback. I'll make sure we add and cleanup data for Texas. We're based in Washington DC so our data has been mostly focused for that area. BTW we're built on Django :) Thanks!
Broader, let's tax behavior we think is financially unwise - for the good of those too dumb to see how financially unwise the behavior is. The author can take their condescending smugness and get lost.
Yeah, I've definitely noticed. Guess I can't help taking a gamble on occasion.

On this particular occasion, I truly couldn't tell if my joke was a whoosh, or just not funny! I made myself laugh, but that's not difficult.
damage.
> lets just not do it

I don't see why this is any less viable than the other alternatives. It's the only option that we've already tried. Before invention of air travel.

I mean of course I see that people don't change. But that's the very thing we absolutely need to fix. We have to stay within our means. Not doing the thing that brings cost seems like a simple enough solution.
I just finished the audiobook of American Kingpin and LOVED IT. Nonfiction that reads like a thriller. Very well done and the narration was also excellent (which also comes into play a lot for audiobooks!).

Bad Blood by John Carreyrou about the rise and fall of Theranos is very similar feel to American Kingpin, if you enjoyed one you will probably love the other; I thought both were equally fantastic, probably my best reads of 2018.
Guaranteed appreciation?
> There is absolutely no practical way in Canada to lock in a mortgage for long term fixed interest rates

The UK is exactly the same. 5 years is actually pretty long in the UK at the moment, 2-3 years fixed then variable is common. It doesn't seem to harm house prices.
Quite surprised to see such strong opinions on this issue - I can obviously sympathise with a desire to privacy but personally hold faith in doctor confidentiality.

More pressingly - how can a doctor provide the best care in the absence of records?

Imagine trying to ship a bugfix for a complex system where you don't have the source code and the business owner is refusing to give you the documentation but will sue you and ruin your career if you make a mistake.

I'd probably refuse to see the patient given how much pressure doctors are under to not make a mistake.

What happens if you got a nasty gash and wanted the wound treated and the doctor wanted to issue antibiotics as a precaution but you had a penicillin allergy (which you either forgot to disclose or simply didn't know about but were tested for at some stage in your childhood)
> Childhood’s End was Arthur C. Clarke’s masterpiece, published in 1953, chronicling the arrival of benevolent Overlords who bring many of the same conveniences now delivered by the Keepers of the Internet to Earth. It does not end well.

Uhhhh, it didn’t end well because (in the book) humanity was doomed to evolutionarily tear itself apart, and the Overlords knew this. Seems pretty disingenuous to use that fictional scenario not ending well in this context.
> FTR, much more controversial than saying Holden was a whiny kid, I found Frodo Baggins to be largely insufferable, but that didn't stop me from enjoying LOTR.

Fair enough. I also found Frodo to be (largely) insufferable, and I also enjoyed LOTR. I just never "got" Catcher in the Rye, the way I expected that I was expected to.

EDIT: And maybe this is a sign of my immaturity ... that I expect myself to "get" novels that resonate with other people with different life experiences and different brains. I have a similar (personal internal) response when I share a novel that resonates with me with a super smart friend, and they shrug and say, "and"? ... Maybe I'm just not built to understand novels in the same way what most people are (and that's ok...)
My head almost exploded when I read this. On the one hand you have a bunch of landlords which are incentivized to squeeze the poor for all their worth while looking for a reason to exclude anyone with financial challenges in their past including the massive number that correlate not with poor decisions but with ill health.

Then you have terrible people calling for taxes on the poor to tax them out of houses because they think its a bad risk and subsequently into the hands of the landlords if and only if they will have them otherwise I guess they can go sit on the corner.

I'm goddamn disgusted.
One of my friends moved back to China because of the cost of health care.

It was ironic because his parents basically gave up everything to immigrate to the US.
Leaders are declarative and managers are procedural?
> every tech company that has open source software

Can you name one that piled patents on top of the open source IP?

But this isn't just an accusation of using the IP of a non-profit, it's an accusation of making a 'fake' non-profit to get things under false pretenses.
This is a really weird URL.
It's the same in Australia, New Zealand, UK and probably other places too. 30 year fixed rate mortgages are probably the exception rather than the rule in most places.
> You can both sleep and use high speed internet from modern jets

Speak for yourself — I can't sleep on planes. Nor is airplane internet anything close to high speed by any standard. It's expensive as hell and doesn't exist over oceans. At the same ticket price, for long-haul international, I'd greatly prefer an economy-sized seat in a 2.5x shorter flight to a biz-class seat in a traditional flight.
"The Sober Truth: Debunking the Bad Science Behind 12-Step Programs and the Rehab Industry" https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00FIMWI1O/

> An exposé of Alcoholics Anonymous, 12-step programs, and the rehab industry—and how a failed addiction-treatment model came to dominate America.

> AA has become so infused in our society that it is practically synonymous with addiction recovery. Yet the evidence shows that AA has only a 5–10 percent success rate—hardly better than no treatment at all. Despite this, doctors, employers, and judges regularly refer addicted people to treatment programs and rehab facilities based on the 12-step model.

> In The Sober Truth, acclaimed addiction specialist Dr. Lance Dodes exposes the deeply flawed science that the 12-step industry has used to support its programs. Dr. Dodes analyzes dozens of studies to reveal a startling pattern of errors, misjudgments, and biases. He also pores over the research to highlight the best peer-reviewed studies available and discovers that they reach a grim consensus on the program’s overall success.

> But The Sober Truth is more than a book about addiction. It is also a book about science and how and why AA and rehab became so popular, despite the discouraging data. Dr. Dodes explores the entire story of AA’s rise, from its origins in early fundamentalist religious and mystical beliefs to its present-day place of privilege in politics and media.

> The Sober Truth includes true stories from Dr. Dodes’s thirty-five years of clinical practice, as well as firsthand accounts submitted by addicts through an open invitation on the Psychology Today website. These stories vividly reveal the experience of walking the steps and attending some of the nation’s most famous rehabilitation centers.

> The Sober Truth builds a powerful response to the monopoly of the 12-step program and explodes the myth that these programs offer an acceptable or universal solution to the deeply personal problem of addiction. This book offers new and actionable information for addicts, their families, and medical providers, and lays out better ways to understand addiction for those seeking a more effective and compassionate approach to this treatable problem.

I haven't seen any evidence of that. Those people respond to incentives and there are few current incentives to push companies to spend time on security, especially preemptively. Yes, there will be some public blowback if you're compromised, but that will blow over. Plus consumers are well aware that this is happening all the time to other companies, so it's become "normal" behavior now.

The fines for neglect of personal customer data need to be so high that the boards of these companies and their shareholders demand that their executives make security a priority.

HIPAA (https://compliancy-group.com/hipaa-fines-directory-year/) is a decent model and it does seem like security is taken more seriously in the healthcare industry in general. That being said, the actual fines are relatively low when you look at the size of some of these companies.

Anthem is one example: https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/10/15/anthem-pays-ocr-16...

That was the largest HIPAA fine ever ($16 million) for a company that pulls in $90 BILLION in revenue each year and 79 million people had their information compromised in that event. That fine is basically a rounding error for them. Still, this outcome is better than what happens with most non-healthcare security compromises, which is basically nothing except "we're sorry, we take security seriously, and here is one year of credit monitoring."
SSH and IRC are the core at which hackerdom is achieved.
How much do nuclear submarine power plants weigh? :-) Looks like on the order of 600 tons; also looks like 787s carry over 100 ton just in fuel fully loaded. So it is plausible that a scaled down nuclear sub reactor should supply plenty of energy at reasonable weight budget. Obviously you'd want it to be somewhat robust and maybe eject + parachute it for catastrophic scenarios, rather than irradiating whatever the plane runs into.

Sanos Operating System Kernel
Sanos is a minimalistic 32-bit x86 operating system kernel for network server appliances running on standard PC hardware. The kernel implements basic operating system services like booting, memory management, thread scheduling, local and remote file systems, TCP/IP networking and DLL loading and linking. You can use Sanos as a small kernel for embedded server applications written in C or as a JeOS (Just enough Operating System). Sanos has a fairly standard POSIX based API and an ANSI Standard C library.

The kernel was developed as part of an experiment on investigating the feasibility of running java server applications without a traditional operating system only using a simple kernel. A win32 layer allowed the Windows version of a standard HotSpot JVM to run under Sanos, essentially providing a JavaOS platform for server applications.

While Sanos is self-contained in the sense that it can build itself, it can be cross-compiled under either Windows using Microsoft Visual C, or under Linux using GCC. Sanos applications can either be built under Windows using MSVC or under Sanos itself using the Sanos SDK.

Unlikely. More like the truly paranoid security types probably don't trust IDA Pro not to have a back door.

A home grown NSA tool is unlikely to have an intentional backdoor in the version they give to the CIA.
That's a great idea! Simple and sounds very effective.
I get the states are an integral part of the US but I'm unclear on why the Senate needs equal representation for all states except for the fact that the founders made it that way.
I’m not sure why you’re downvoted... this is 100% the best way to incentivize reduction in carbon emissions. And just keep upping the tax gradually as needed.
I wasn't the person your were initially asking, but assuming you're asking which people would prefer US dominance to Chinese dominance, the US is currently the most positively viewed nation in Vietnam, so presumably all of the Vietnamese people who view the US favorably, with the possible exception of the 10% who view China favorably (assuming there is overlap) [1].

Assuming China becomes the single dominant power and they behave how I believe history has indicated they will, my answer is: most of the world outside of China.

If your state of consciousness is altered by 2% that's just called a normal day.

There is a very qualitative difference between tripping and not-tripping. (With a blurry line but you can easily stay on one side of a blurry line.)
Sigh, so not useful for archival of purchased video at all.
I’m not sure where I said it was an error, let alone a “fundamental error in the normal program execution model”. It’s quite annoying either way you try to solve it; I haven’t used a linker script because then I have to hunt down each symbol version anytime I link a new symbol from glibc, instead of the future-proof setting up of an ancient build image once. If you’re writing a language forcing you to let the language compiler handle all linking of images is not a particularly user-friendly solution.
This is hard... like your directs you need to manage your manager as well and try to understand them.

For your manager, you should have (or try to force) at least meetings every 2-4 weeks where you can ask what you can improve on or what they feel is missing/lacking in your team/department. Always come back next meeting with ways you have improved or reacted to their comments. If they are a decent boss they will always be honest with you.

As for how to tell if things are going well internally...

- does your team(s) feel happy/proud on what they delivered?
- does your team(s) seem happy and enjoy working with each other?
- do they focus on deliverables/value and not get caught up on petty issues?

are some questions to ask.
This fills a need for a general development platform for Nvidia's ARM modules. You could get dev boards for these modules, but the dev boards were (mostly) not suitable for prototyping or products. I think a lot of companies would just default to x86 platforms because of the ease of sourcing small form factor boards that have plenty of connectivity. However, for the right application the performance per watt and form factor is a winner. I guess something that needs low power and a lot of AI/Image processing in a small brick. Autonomous vehicles?
Many people don't realize they're the same thing in the single byte range. It's easier this way.
This can't be the full picture. If your rent were $0.01/year would you still use this argument? No? What if your monthly rent was $0.01 less than your equivalent monthly mortgage payment? Yes, right? So at what point does the decision flip? That point is where it's worth it for you to pay rent without ever owning anything.
What market? I'm assuming coastal because where I'm at (midwest) this seems ridiculous.
These guys are saying something like 17M thefts in 2017, which to me is a bit concerning and almost incredible, even if they’re off by a factor of 2. I mean, it’s not the end of the world if someone assumes my identity but it certainly seems like a monumental hassle to deal with and almost certainly bound to cost several thousand dollars.

Healing the underlying PTSD (and high blood pressure and very complex anxiety partly resulting from having adapted counterproductive coping strategies and defense mechanisms) is the objective of a number of randomized controlled clinical trials.

Developing evidence-based treatment programs requires randomization and controls.

I agree that it could be handled more delicately, and that doing so would probably be more fruitful (and just more pleasant). I'm not sure it's none of the creditor's business why a payment was late though. It's certainly in their interest that payments be made on time, and to have the ability to estimate the likelihood that future payments will be late. Given an obligation to pay an amount by a given date, it doesn't seem completely unreasonable for an explanation to be requested if the amount isn't paid.
That is a fair criticism, my tips were just a list of the top notes I could think of to help. I could dive extensively into each and every bullet.

I will say if you constantly questioning whether you are doing a good job and if you can do better... you are probably above average at least.
I agree, areas where reliability > power; outdated hardware is of less concern.

Same reason why New Horizon used MIPS R3000 CPU in 2006, where as it was also used in Playstation 1 in 1994.
But many people automatically assume home ownership is a good thing... and the government officially promotes it as well (see mortgage interest deduction).

You're right this is why mortgages exist, but you're not explaining the demand. It's also easy to imagine an alternate universe where most homes are owned by institutional landlords, people rent, and invest what their interest payments would have gone to in index funds instead, winding up with a more reliable chunk of cash when they retire instead of a home whose value is hard to predict.
Totally this.

I'd also add that venting to the team makes the team nervous, if you are saying X to them, what aren't you saying. Your job isn't to deceive the team, in fact if things are going bad you should be honest but show a path forward. Lying will cause people to lose their respect for you and hence stop following your lead. So you have to be honest, be humble but show the path forward to the team. And it is ok to not have a path at first, just be up front and give some options so they don't think things are at a loss.
Probably a bit strong of a word, but speaking broadly it’s rare when real estate retreats in value. I say this as someone who walked away from an underwater property after the 2008 GFC. Yes, property sometimes loses value in black swan events or in specific regions, but on average at the macro level it keeps up with inflation.

Ownership beats the hell out of renting. The key is owning something you can afford.

The problem is people buy homes automatically thinking they will rise in value and they will make money off of it.

Buy a home to live in.
Wow. I had a lot of fun with the JTKs when they first came out. I set up a small render farm, and had a blast with them. But at a $2500 price point, I can't see broke, indebted, just-out-of-college me getting the opportunity to do that with this new dev kit, and I think that's kind of a shame. With that said, this is pretty cool, and I totally want one
I still don’t understand what is the purpose of having such a cup, wouldn’t it just waste the water or used to limit the amount of water?

Sure, I wasn't clear enough — I was implying that.
After you pay your loan off you no longer need to pay rent, and while you're paying your loan you don't pay rent. Author completely missed that point. You need significant income and housing depreciation to come out behind when you factor those two in.

In fact for my situation, even if my house depreciates to 1/3rd what I paid I'll still be coming out ahead due to paying less than I ever did for rent.
