I guess so, It is just a nice idea. It was one day I notice how Fast the response time were in Fast.com compared to others. I am not even sure if Google Edge Node in the ISP even works with the GCP CDN, because their performance don't seems to be leading the pack.

The Market for CDN and Online Video Encoding that Netflix could get are properly in the sub annual $1B range, may be too small for Netflix to even consider.

I just thought the more traffic passing through those FreeBSD Server the better.
in the video, they mentioned there is no moving electronics parts. NOT no moving parts. I think they mean no slip-ring kind of easy-to-fail parts, which is necessary to connect the power and signal for rotating electronics.
Relatedly, this article nearly a decade(!) ago mentioned that younger people of the time were preferring the sound of MP3 compression artifacts over higher-quality compression or even the original uncompressed audio:

I suppose it's similar to how some people prefer the distortion of "tube sound".
I’m seeing little negativity, just the realities of dispensing with unwarranted optimism. Shorting of pithing myself, it’s goinf to be hard to ignore what Google is and show it works just because they throw a (for them) small amount of money at something which so far only sounds good. My experience of Google is that they excel at marketing their own supposed best intentions while delivering the worst of them.

It’s not negativity to have been conscious and capable of forming long-term memories for the past decade, sorry. I’m also wondering if you have now or previously had any relationship with Google?
You're just not going back far enough. It used to be very easy to return things, at least out in the midwest where I grew up.

I had budding criminal friends in high school who were no doubt partially responsible for why it became so difficult, because they were exploiting the easy returns for personal gain.

They would buy 56K USRobotics modems from Best Buy and return the boxes containing used 14K modems. Someone had found a large quantity of disused USR 14K modems, I think it was from an office building dumpster. Weekends were spent doing this across dozens of stores at scale, I never heard about any of them getting caught.

Back then your average retail employee wouldn't know a modem from a sound card. All they verified was that a circuit board computer thing was in the box.

Here’s my answer: I have no interest in living so far away from a major urban center that I could have 10 acres. I have no interest in doing anything with land, farming, maintenance, whatever.

My life is very simple and I’ve never lived in an apartment bigger than 600 square feet. The idea of 10 acres is insane to me.
Jriver is good media player which works on IOS, Linux and on raspPI's. However, it's not free.

I use on Jriver on my work PC to stream lossless audio to a couple of Raspberri PIs i have around my house/work. I even have it set up for streaming over the internet for when I go away on Holiday.
Best thing is about this setup is that all my playlists and ratings stay synced as I'm using just the one library on my main PC.

I think it's neat. It visually and auditorily confirms to others that you are checking what needs to be checked, and reinforces the check in your own mind, letting you think about whether you are doing it properly.

Similarly, Japanese sysadmins must write down -- and get approval for -- every single shell command they intend to execute on prod before actually issuing the command, specifically to reduce the number of 'rm -rf /' oopses (and other breaking changes).

It may look unusual, but I wouldn't call such a thing silly. I've noticed that Japanese workers do just about everything so patently deliberately that there must always be a reason for it being that way.
Ironic since the humanities are the only concepts left once everything is automated leaving creative ideas to be our only worthwhile asset.
Also experience. Many recruiters I see are either part time contractors or recent grads that are just trying to get some (any) work experience before they move onto something else (like sales).
As in autospotting.org? That’s a pretty cool concept, but I wonder how you make that work with VPCs?

Can you get an EC2 instance that is deeply embedded in a VPC that is not reachable from anywhere else but a private network on a different VPC, and still replace that with a spot instance with all the same functionality?

Do you have to create an AMI so that you can relaunch an instance with a newer and less expensive one?

What about post-install configuration management that might need to be done?
They can for the majority of Americans. Congress also has the ability to mandate more reporting, and more reporting from more agencies would pretty much have to be part of a 'simple tax return' bill.

The point never was "they do prefect tax returns for everyone." Everyone knows this isn't feasible.

The point is, they'll simply send you (web) forms prefilled with the information they already have, you go in and add information they don't have if something is missing. So even if they have incomplete information, you'll still benefit greatly. If youre feeling really upset about the whole concept, you can tbrow away everything they prefilled out and download a blank form and do it yourself from scratch and that would be perfectly fine too.
>Yes, I think that companies should be obligated to pay for employees that they thought they wanted or needed and then changed their minds, just because they're a big company and it'd be inconvenient for the employee. I don't believe they need to be obligated to pay indefinitely, but I do believe that they need to pay some generous severance period.

Then people need to form guilds and demand this be standard practice in contracts.

Forcing this kind of thing through the middleman of a government seems like a great way to make a lot of people upset and not really get the progress desired.

Yep. My parents can usually also find some kind of support system with a Mac, either on Google or if they must, at an Apple Store.

As little as a one ~maxreps set of pushups every day before showering will have you looking like a soldier after a couple years, assuming you're not starting out obese and are eating reasonably.
By "it applies at every company" I mean it's part of the contract no matter where you work because by law the employer is allowed a 90 day trial period, so they all put it in the contract, so one offer is just as real as the next and it's just something you have to go through and yeah I guess it's probationary in nature.

Not everyone likes it or agrees with it, and I can only comment on the software industry here and not other industries but it's not the end of the world and the sky doesn't at all fall. When they introduced it a lot of people tried to make arguments like it would be abused etc and as far as I can tell there hasn't really been any drama. YMMV depending on country.
Which way, specifically? Do you have details? Have you ever sent someone a package and then they had to pay to get the package as well?
Of course, since that hardware is tested under Windows.

OPs point is that if you're comparing Linux to macOS, you need to also compare the hardware accordingly - just as you buy a Mac to run macOS on, you need to buy hardware that's guaranteed to work well with Linux. And such Linux hardware is still going to cost less than a MacBook or a Mac Mini.
I had perhaps the most amazing interview experience recently where it was an open discussion. It wasn't a technical drill down but more a Q&A where you discuss topics relevant to the area you claim to have knowledge of and how it relates to the job you're interviewing for. It was the complete opposite of code this technical problem and a missing semicolon will get you a flat out rejection.

What clicked was I was finishing their sentences and knew precisely what they were asking. It was an incredibly rewarding experience which led to a same day offer.
> How can you have evidence that something doesn't exist when that thing leaves no evidence?

In the exact same way that I have evidence that the round earth is not a government conspiracy: I have a theory that provides a good explanation for all the available evidence, namely, that the earth is in fact round, and that mind is in fact a function of brain. It really is the exact same situation with respect to provability in both cases.

> Suppose there is an infinitely powerful computer system outside of our universe

Now you're back in "the government is putting hallucinogens in the water" territory.

And, BTW, brain-cloning technology would in no way refute my position. To the contrary, the development of this technology would just be further evidence that mind is a function of some kind of computational substrate that can be understood in purely materialistic terms.
All good points, but none of us are arguing for doing things they way they’re done now. My question is what we should be aiming for. Is it greener to build max density, given the strength required for those buildings (as well as the transport of food, water and resources into cities)? Or is it greener to build moderate density towns that can be constructed from greener materials and co-located with food and water sources? (Not necessarily single family homes and suburban sprawl.)

Whoa, that's new! Even as of a couple years ago, all their HDMI cables cost a good 5x what was reasonable.

I was going to note that $10 for a 4 foot cable, while fairly reasonable, still isn't a great price. But, there's also this[1] one, which is $7, supports 4K, and is 6 feet long. And, both of these are cables are actually available at my local store for immediate pickup.

> this far outweigh the extra O(N) memory consumption.

Calculating memory overhead for vdom is actually pretty hard. With imperative code there will be several different code paths for initial rendering, updates and removal, and depending on the ratio of component instances per component type in the application, vdom can consume less memory because there will be less code and less code means that there will be less internal data for JIT.

Also, if it is a highly dynamic application with high ratio of dynamic bindings per DOM element, and imperative library will wire all dependencies with direct DOM bindings in a huge dependency graph, it is much more likely that this graph will consume more memory, especially in use cases like filtering large lists.

Quite a few Americans have a haunting fear of a poor person getting something they don’t deserve. Hence, our social welfare system is not on par with what one expects in other rich nations. There is also what I call the Daniel Boone image that Americans tend to possess. We like to think of ourselves as self reliant and if government just got out of the way of taking our money via taxation then people wouldn’t be in any sort of predicament not of their own choosing.

30% of people choose to itemize, mainly people who own real property. And out of those who don’t, many still can claim credits for child care expenses, health care expenses, and education expenses.

If the default bill sent by the IRS wouldn’t include all those things, then the result would be exactly what the Norquists of the world fear: a de facto tax increase.

Note also that the H&R Block/Intuit software are free for 70% households. The remaining households are the higher income ones that would most likely itemize anyway.
Difference of terminology I guess, but I worked at a Pharma company and I am talking about the Enterprise Architect, so maybe not the same kind of architect you are talking about. He and his team made decisions related to tech stack. They never made software design decisions. Over at the Pharma company IT higher ups weren't technical anyway.

No. Look at what's happening at a meta level and nonlinear effects. Yes, the social good projects will have some small positive effect in the world, but they also end up buying a lot of positive PR for Google, thus allowing them to continue their malpractices in their main business. Skepticism of the kind in this thread informs Google that their positive image right now is actually fragile, and that they should up their ante if they want to continue to be looked at as having a positive impact on the world, which is a critical advantage they use to gather the best talent.

> Recommendations for how to modulate breathing and influence health and mind appeared centuries ago as well. Pranayama (“breath retention”) yoga was the first doctrine to build a theory around respiratory control, holding that controlled breathing was a way to increase longevity.

This has been practiced in India for many centuries & is a part of Yoga itself. It has been described in detail in the Bhagavad Gita as the dialogue between Lord Sri Krishna & Arjuna. Not to belittle, but it seems western scientists have only now done some tests to determine the validity of something known by every granny in India.

Meanwhile, there are many Christian institutes that have appropriated this as "Jesus' Yoga" / "Christian Yoga" etc.

Disagree from my experience, it is easy to injure yourself and recovery from back injuries can be slow. I am very careful and analytical about learning new activities, read the whole of starting strength carefully and practised filming myself while learning, and still hurt my back after 4 years of squatting, probably due to a momentary lapse in form. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but there are probably less risky exercises to do.
But Thetans can be detected: they cause psychological problems, which is why people pay large sums of money to the CoS to exorcise them.
The scenarios you suggest happening if taxes are easy to file don’t have to be the consequence. It’s a possible consequence but overall I don’t think it would happen the way you suggest. I think it highly unlikely that it would lead to what you fear.
Cynically I suspect that may be the point. I refer to such things as bias laundering. There is a very long history of "objective" measures that were tailor made to collar hated groups.

Walkability in the city-planning sense is defined by "lack of need for a car". Improved public transit improves walkability (see the walkability scores on pretty much any site ever), as does mixed use development.

Carson City has a walk score of 34 (although apparently there's a 4 block area in downtown that gets up to the mid 70s). SF has an average of 86. My apartment scores 99. Like I said, there isn't a genuine comparison to be had.
I have a theory that open source which mostly targets business use could be funded by providing binary releases in the form of an apt/etc repo.

Small/Medium businesses increasingly seem to prefer to just pay for the solution (rather than say paying a staff member to compile, test, and distribute something open source).

I think this is a linguistic strawman.

Civil Architect is to Builder as Software Engineer is to Datacenter Technician. Software architect is to software engineer as partner at an architecture firm is to architect, or something.

You don't expect a plumber[0] or a building constructor[1] or a civil engineer[2] to become an architect[3], they're different degrees or certifications. A software architect is normally considered a software engineer who works at a grander scope of design. That doesn't map correctly.

> Given Google is already doing that (collecting anonymized data), wouldn't it be overall better if it also puts that to some good use?

Given Google is already doing surreptitious stuff and is generally anti-privacy, it ought to look at stop doing those first. Stealing from people and doing "good" with that is not an excuse for stealing, especially when most of the victims are common folk (even if one follows a Robin Hood principle).

Also, I didn't get the part about Google "collecting anonymized data". Google collects precise, personally identifiable data because that's what pays the bills for its chosen business model (similar to Facebook, which is far worse). Anonymization may happen down the line for certain purposes and anonymized data may be all that Google is able to get from certain sources.

Many western countries have very simple or near-automatic tax systems and I would argue that the tax you pay is actually much more visible to residents of such countries.

In the UK, for example, most employees do not have to file a tax return. The HMRC files it for them and sends them a letter every tax year with their calculation. It even comes with a nice chart to see how much tax you've paid and where it went to (https://secure.i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02871/ta...).

The tax brackets are also very straightfoward and everyone knows which bracket they are in.
The same is true with tax on product prices. Everyone knows the tax rate on items because it's a simple number and there's a lot of public discussion whenever politicians decide on reducing/increasing it. If you ask anyone in the UK (or any other country other than the US with VAT) what the current VAT rate is, they will be able to tell you. Good luck getting an answer to such a question from someone in the US; you just pay what the cashier tells you to as VAT depends on so many factors.

As far as your morality question, I wouldn't think refusing to do business with a country is the better stance,you'd be punishing the people for your perception of their governmet.

I was going to say "not on macOS, they aren't" because this isn't true for any apps that use Cocoa or Carbon (which is to say, all of them). The only apps that exhibit any weirdness are ones that use cross-platform frameworks like Qt, GTK+, or wxWidgets.

But nowadays, there are loads of Electron and React Native apps that don't even present anything in the global menu bar; if the developers don't think to add them in themselves, basic functions like copy and paste don't work without secondary clicking!
