They're building it and it's the first of it's kind. ITER isn't stuck - the building and it's contents are going up week by week. I visited the site when it was an interesting hole in the ground, and they've done a lot more since then.

Also fun fact there's a spider that eats bats that lives in that area.
>it would be manadatory retirement savings accounts for all and invested in (vanguard) index funds (and probably diversified into bonds at least)

Doesn't Australia's superannuation work something like this? If I understand it correctly, a chunk of your salary is set aside, but instead of going into a pool like Social Security, it goes into a fund. I could be (and probably am) wrong as to how it works. That being said, I would love it if we could implement something like this in the US.
Leveling, depending on where you are, has gotten kinda out of whack -- had this very discussion today in SF where coding camp folks are now "junior" and college grads with intern level experience are now "senior", whereas senior used to mean like 5+ years of on-job real work experience not that long ago.

I wouldn't focus too much on tools - frameworks are temporary, algorithms and data structures are forever. That being said, the right keywords on your resume will get recruiters and companies interested, but it's really fundamental skills I think that get engineers hired.
It's not wild speculation. The current best scientific models predict a future climate that will likely cause many of these increased problems.
Also in Texas, can also confirm.

My coworker dropped the phrase "Texas Cadillac" the other day. Couldn't cringe hard enough.

I hope to be able to afford an electric car for my next car purchase - for now, just a tiny Mazda stick-shift.

Kinda having second thoughts after reading that comment about battery production though...
Came here to say the same thing. My wife is from UK, and she's ... well, pissed at the expenses here (besides healthcare). We are in the process of selling some land, and the default for land is 8%. WTF. You don't "show" it. You don't stage it, or model it, or deal with keys or codes or anything else. But there were no realtors we spoke to who wavered from 8%. I suppose we could possibly have done DIY, maybe... ? But... 8% for land is just insane. The justification was "oh, it takes longer to sell". Again - you're not doing anything beyond perhaps taking a phone call or email. Granted, there may be exceptional properties that are hundreds of acres, have to deal with wildlife issues or other zoning whatever, and might have a whole lot of headache. Not a 1acre homesite in a subdivision.
RethinkDB, an ironic name in this context.
exactly, so much of traveling being unhealthy comes down to not having access to a kitchen to cook your own food.
I agree with this. For many people who are learning Git for the first time, it's also their first experience with contributing code to a repository at all.

The last thing you want to do is turn them off entirely, or gatekeep the profession to exclude people who aren't good at reading dense documentation.

The best way to teach git is to get them comfortable with "Add, Commit, and Push" and then explain what's happening at each stage.
Imagine if they had signed the ubiquitous non-competes we have in the tech-world outside California.
It may be because they view the F-series as a platform. So they are adding "all-electric" as a feature to the F-series platform. Along with hybrid.
I have been testing the new dashboard UI since Jul 26, 2018.

> So you're upset that this solution doesn't go far enough?

No, I'm upset that it's, viewed charitably, an expensive ineffective approach to dealing with a small, in many cases easily rerouted portion of any of the problems cited to justify it, with adverse impacts on property owners, communities, wildlife, and the environment along the border far out of proportion to its benefits even if it was free.

> Build a wall first to treat the easy 40% of illegal immigration,

If I wanted to deal with the easiest bit of illegal immigration, I'd do it for free, simply by retaining the aggregate limits on immigrant visa categories but removing the per-country cap do they qualified immigrants are treated equally irrespective of country of origin.

The incremental next step in reducing illegal immigration would actually generate revenue...
> If I showed up to a hotel and they didn't have a room available, they would rebook me at a different hotel. Airbnb just seems to say, "well, that's not our problem".

I believe this is rolled up in hotel pricing, and why Airbnb's are still overall cheaper.
1) "Not entirely obvious! A great place for a dogwhistle!" I'm obviously not suggesting that whatever graphic designer intentionally slipped a Nazi symbol into Slack's new logo. But, much like the arrow in FedEx, once you see it it's hard to unsee.

2) Most people can't tell you which way the outer parts of a Nazi swastika go and which way non-Nazi swastikas go. That's what I meant about sense of rotation in my comment above. Moreover, most people can't immediately reconstruct a logo to begin with, though they can recognize one. But something like this https://imgur.com/a/CZWtXez passes at first glance and is much more swastika-y.
This seems to reflect my personal experiences here in SW Missouri. I live in a rural, very white, area and most all my neighbors simply do not believe there is any such thing as racial economic inequality and I've not had much success in relating how things are different in bigger cites and "ghettos".
Drag coefficient is a misleading and meaningless statistic to compare, which is probably exactly why manufacturers use it.

The total drag of a vehicle is given by its total frontal area, multiplied by the drag coefficient. And fuel economy is determined by total drag.

The Ram has a much larger frontal area than the Prius, so it would have substantially worse efficiency even if the coefficients of drag were equal.
I don't really understand what you are saying here .. It should not be difficult to run `go build` locally and then tell a tool to upload `foobar` instead of `main.go`.

Uploading source code is a dealbreaker for me because I do not trust Google or myself. Google probably has language in their terms that they may do whatever they want with anything you upload to them.

I also do not trust myself to properly configure security parameters around this with the risk of leaking source code.

Binaries are a great strength of Go. Too bad this platform doesn't use them. I will take a peek at the new Container platform that they are building, but that sounds more heavyweight, which probably comes with a higher price. (I have not seen any actual pricing)
That's the implication inherent in your commentary. To me (and possibly most people downvoting your comments), it sounds as if you're saying that we should deal with the symptoms and not the cause because we've seen symptoms like this before so I assume we can deal with it.

To reduce my position to a couple of cliches:

A stitch in time saves nine

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
I like light trucks because they are for people who plow snow, carry bricks, lumber, cinder blocks, lawn mowing equipment, hogs, chickens, bails of hay, etc. in all weather over all roads and even no roads. E.g., there is good ground clearance for charging through snow, over rough ground, jumping curbs, etc. The suspensions are stiff, rugged, and long lasting, can take bad bumps and keep going with no damage.

The light trucks have BUMPERS that actually work; so, can bump into something, push another truck, maybe by accident hit a deer some night, all with little or no damage. With no bumpers, lots of little bumps would need $1000+ for body repairs.

So, as a result, light trucks are functional, rugged, and comparatively simple and easy to maintain. I.e., light trucks get rid of the nonsense luxury stuff I don't need, can't use, don't like, don't want, don't want to pay more for when I buy, and most of all don't want the cost and Excedrin headache #498,293,991 of maintenance.

These trucks are much the same year after year, aren't "all new", and, thus, have a lot of the bugs, design errors, bad corrosion problems, and bad part kinks worked out. As soon as a seller claims "all new" I'll have to conclude the seller had a lot of problems with their models for the last several years and walk out saying "Maybe I'll see you again in 10 years.". "All new" may be good for Paris fashions, but I don't want it in a vehicle.

These trucks have solid rear axles, usually with stiff leaf springs -- that is, RUGGED with no problems with alignment, weak bushings, etc.

I like Ford and Chevy because they are made with parts readily available, from Ford, Chevy, or third parties, all over the US at relatively low prices now and for decades into the future, use English wrench sizes, and are well understood by a huge fraction of US mechanics.

My next vehicle will be a light truck from Ford or Chevy even though I will rarely make good use of the bed in the back.

For a vehicle I want a solid, mechanical tool, functional, rugged, durable, easy to maintain. As soon as a seller mentions luxury, I'm gone. Yup, like Jay Leno, I like blue jeans, too.
Wasn't there a Mythbusters episode about this?
Parent didn't say they had a Volt with a dead battery, they said they have a Volt still going strong, with no signs of failing. It's just a single data point.

As for your taxi example, it's like you haven't even looked. I've been seeing stories of hybrid battery taxi longevity for over a decade.

I like them. I use them for business trips, and at $150/ni for a good room near the San Jose HQ that I need to visit vs $450/ni for an acceptable hotel room, the value is immensely clear.

Of course, when the hotel rate is within $50-$100 of the AirBNB room, I'll happily pay the additional upcharge for the convenience and consistency of a hotel. And if I'm traveling in particularly unfamiliar terrain, I'll pay even more just so I can talk to the concierge and enjoy the security that the hotel offers.

AirBNB and competitors like Vacasa are a good thing. AirBNB's practice of making it impossible to ask an open-ended question, however, is braindead, and unless they fix those kinds of issues, the business will be deservedly overtaken by better followers.
Actually I looked it up on r/AskHistorians where the veracity of the Great Wall was queried multiple times and ... in nuance, no, it wasn’t actually effective against nomadic invasion, which would be the sort of thing America is presumably threatened by. I know this is a very casual source, so if you have any other, harder sources for your claims please present them.

Oh come on. There are other logos like that. Do you see a swastika on Google photos?

Why not "look at that sweet negative space windmill"?

Eye of the beholder, I guess.
yes idiot. I have worked for several vendors and sold this stuff. I have also been on the customer side buying this stuff. You're paying 250k for an empty 42U that you call "box" - you literally are lying.

there are, literally, zero enterprises off-shoring their hard IO hitting datacenters. In fact, having been in 80 different countries for these enterprises, they usually have many datacenters all over the world.

VSAN is for hyperconverged systems only. racks with a thousand 1u nodes that all have disk, connected to a fat ethernet backplane. Things on a SAN are not hyperconverged - they are on a SAN. VSAN is for tier 2 stuff that goes on hyperconverged - like web servers and DMZ things. The fastest processing is done on solid databases like Oracle or UDB on clusters of large servers, connected to a SAN. VSAN is even positioned by sales for tier 2 from all major vendors.

You literally picked up some technical words you heard around the office, googled a few things, and now consider yourself and expert so you give authoritative opinion on here about things you have never worked with. I bet you are deskside support or a code monkey, and have never architected a solution. When someone gives you a budget of 20mil and says you can average 1min of application unavailability per year or it impacts billions in company's bottom line and your whole team gets fired, do let me know. I'm sure your suggestion would be to cluster together a bunch of old dell laptops over wifi.
Yeah right, except that enFORCING is different from "encouraging".

Were outside Mongo contributors not encouraged before this license change?
I started driving a truck 15 years ago after a number of sports cars/sedans/etc. I will never go back.

Its not insane when you consider any number of factors, starting with the fact that Americans are BIG. As a large person myself (although not overweight), I'm here to tell you that what a 120 pound 5'6" person finds comfortable frequently is painful for me.

Second, I spend upwards of 2+ hours a day sitting my my car, spending a couple grand extra a year for a seat that is 6" wider, doesn't require me to have the flexibility of a 15 year old doing a deep knee bend every-time I get in/out of my car, and allows me to sit upright rather than tilting the seat back into the second row is well worth it.

Third, while there are some SUV's and maybe minivans that qualify on the comfort front, they either tend to be less efficient, cost more, or have social stigma associated with them.

Sure if I had two vehicles, I might be able to get away with driving the truck on the weekend or when I actually need it, but the convenience of being able to throw a bike, kayak, lawn mower, TV, piece of plywood/drywall/2x4/etc in the back when I need to is worth it. Plus, I tow something maybe once a year, but again, if you only have 1 vehicle.. The two vehicle argument might make more sense, if there was space and insurance/taxes/etc were per person rather than per vehicle.

Finally, part of the problem is the American car market. Sedan seems to frequently translate to econobox. In Europe a basic car is smaller, but somehow frequently seems to have far more leg and headroom than a similar American car. This space problem seems to extend from the econoboxes in the US to the luxury car market as well. Apparently in the US, taking an econobox, putting leather and a bigger engine in while leaving the chassis/etc the same (or streamlining it and making it even smaller as honda/acura seems to do) is common. The result is that if your bigger than average, you likely don't fit in something that isn't a SUV/Truck.
I just had an absolutely horrible experience with Airbnb & Airbnb 'support.' So bad in fact I'm exploring my options to go to arbitration though that's mostly an emotional reaction since I'm fairly sure it would be a waste of time.

I've gone from spending months a year in AirBnbs to now planning to never use the service ever again.

Airbnb used to be almost magical but the last three bookings I had have been progressively more horrendous and support is maddening. I'd be happy to share my recent experiences but I don't have any social clout to attempt to get anything out of it :(
Accountants don’t make commission. And if it wasn’t for Intuit (makers of TurboTax), filing taxes would be free and easy.

Better yet, alias "git status" and "git log" so you'll be more inclined to use them frequently.
It's like contracts. When everything is good, they don't matter. They only matter when things go bad.
To avoid burning out I suggest:

1. Deploy

2. Test deployment

3. If success, great go home at 8:10pm.

4. If fail, rollback, retest, go home at 8:20pm. Come in next day and fix in source code and schedule new deployment.

5. To avoid #4 in 99% of scenarios, use a staging environment.

Why doesn't Redfin force you to use their buyer's agent? Buyer's agents are regarded as the ones at the bottom of the totem poll. Hardly anyone signs a contract with a buyer's agent. You almost always do with a seller's agent. It sounds like they've taken on the harder piece first...
Election Boogaloo. I can't believe you missed that.
It could be very inconvenient to unplug the router. The real issue is what level of threat you hope to counter. An unexpected extra clock or an extra coffee machine in the room, as mentioned in the article, would not represent a very high-level surveillance tactic. I mean, to try something as blatant as that would be very unimaginative, or at best, evidence of working with very limited options. Is there really a two-bit Airbnb surveillance problem?
This seems ripe for tax evasion. Two parties could loan each other the same amount, through different shell entities, and both could deduct the interest on the payments to the other.
> AirBnB needs a "white glove" service -- and I'd be willing to pay extra for this -- to ensure that everything is on-par with a nice hotel.

Getting a set of clean towels isn't what I would consider "white glove" service. It seems more like "basic level of service".

Does anyone know if the free test version they're offering includes an Intel Optane SSD or is it just a standard NAND SSD? The blog post isn't clear about what configuration is used in the data they present. Looks like I may just have to wait for the USENIX conference paper to be made available...

Those folks will still have the opportunity to live off-grid if they choose.
Honestly, it depends on the project and why I'm building it.

If I'm building something because I want to learn something new, I give myself permission to spend as much time massaging it as I want. For me, being able to chase 'perfect' is an important part of my learning process.

On the other hand, if I'm building something I want to ship, I like to set rabbit hole alarms. Whenever I sense that I'm about to start going down the winding road of obsession, I set a timer (usually for half an hour). I let my mind go wild until the timer goes off, then I move onto the next task.
I was going through a list of recent VC investments in China [1] and noticed a ton of large education startups (targeted at kids mostly) were very common. From previous experience I've seen a lot coming out of India too.

It's interesting to see the priority placed on education on those societies is being reflected in the types of companies that are successful (at funding at a minimum).

It seemed like they might be considering multiple other options for the F-Series, so you may not be out of luck (yet?)
They've previously mentioned doing a plug-in hybrid version. I'm sure this won't be the first we hear of this.
For servers I agree! For desktop tho, it drove me nuts. I still use Debian as the base of most of my servers cause the stability is amazing.

Now this is just fucked up :p
For premium publishers such as the NY Times, I'm not surprised there isn't a drop off in revenue when targeted ads were dropped.

They are pretty much all high value visitors (from an economic perspective).
You're right that there are aspects of the case that would not apply to a current-day situation. The takings clause can only apply to the US Government, for example. But the main takeaway that I believe would apply is that a property owner effectively owns the airspace up to some altitude X ft.

The way I see it is that the property owner should be entitled to exclusive use from 0ft to Xft. (Of course, the land owner can always give permission for lower flights if they so choose.) And drones should be able to legally traverse from Xft to 400ft.

It would be great if a law would establish what X is. Unfortunately, I think it's more likely that someone will fly a drone over private land at 150ft, the land owner will shoot it down, and the ensuing lawsuit will set a precedent.
Let's not pretend there isn't a big group of people who want to make fossil fuel illegal.

And lets not pretend that whatever solution most people think of it isn't somehow going to be based on slowing down growth.

P.S. They certainly will be having big problems dealing with the consequences if they aren't allowed to grow and become richer and won't have access to cheap reliable energy.
I second this. It wasn't until I adopted this practice that the staging area really made sense to me. I find it helpful not just for making atomic commits, but as a way of remembering what I was actually doing, so that I can write a good commit statement.
Citus only does sharding, not replication. Either way, this is a fundamental design limitation with traditional single-master relational systems.
One way against police state is to fight/demand as much transparency as possible for everyone, including the government. Government want to surveillance the citizen, fine, we should be able to surveillance government too.

Many developers view git (and other "helper" tools like text editors, linters, grep, SQL, ... everything but their programming language) as second-class citizens.

The way to teach these tools is to make them primary citizens in your company culture. Emphasize that, without a strong grasp on a variety of important tools, devs will be unable to perform at or above the bar. Don't promote anyone to "senior" engineer who can't easily show the benefits of these tools while a junior engineer pairs with them.

Otherwise, developers will teach themselves the absolute bare minimum necessary to get their jobs done and go home. The quality of the training materials is of minimal importance. I learned git because I wanted to be better at it.
