My pessimistic view is no policy prescription will fix SF (perhaps the most housing-crises-ed part of California) because the (1) govt is incompetent (or maybe even actively malevolent), (2) we seem to have lost the ability to build infrastructure effectively (e.g: new bay bridge span: possibly unsafe, over budget, behind schedule; new bus terminal: possibly unsafe, extremely expensive; new bus lane down van ness: extremely expensive, behind schedule; gg bridge access tunnel: extremely expensive...&c)

The wall doesn't make sense from a practical standpoint - there isn't enough illegal immigration over the southern border to justify billions of dollars to wall it off entirely, where existing security measures and changes in immigration policy might have a better effect.

It does, however, make sense as a symbol of right-wing xenophobia and populist defiance against globalism. If Trump's supporters are focused on the wall, maybe they won't notice any of the other promises he's not keeping.

It would be nice to dial down the cost for the existing customers, perhaps at least a year old ones. I hope they can find a way to support those cases. For sure, it will require unplanned effort for the businesses, let alone to stand in their previous finances.
In the UK fuel taxes raise £50Bn for the exchequer every year and the total transport budget is £25Bn. Maybe it’s different in the US but certainly here, the idea that cars are subsidised just isn’t factually true. Drivers pay for all forms of transportation then contribute as much again to e.g. the NHS.

Depending on how well your freelance or indie hacker career went, it may be very difficult to find job opportunities with startups that can exceed what you already had. But they are out there.

Now there's some irony.

You literally suggested that it would be, at the very least, impractical to get around if you're not a "healthy 20 year old", and yet cities all over the world are filled with people who are not, in fact, healthy 20 year olds, and they manage just fine.

And yet after an extremely blatant strawman, you have the audacity to call someone out who was responding to that strawman with a similarly extreme, but obviously tongue-in-cheek statement.

How does one find these high paying full time remote jobs? Most that I see with salaries listed on weworkremotely, Stack Overflow Jobs and the like top out around $150k.

There are lots of non-remote jobs that pay higher than my current salary, but I don't see that many remote jobs in the $180k to $200k range.
This seems like standard fare at almost any company. Cox communications offered me $10 lower per-month Internet when I was cancelling. I told them if they retroactively paid me the $10/month they were over-charging me for years I would stay. This finally ended their attempts to change my mind.
A little over a year ago I spent days and days trying and failing to sign up for a Dropbox Business account.

The "Start free trial" button on the website literally did nothing. If I clicked it enough times, I eventually got a poorly worded error asking me to try again in 24 hours. This happened in multiple browsers. I tried many times over the course of several days with no success. I had coworkers try in case it was something specific to my machine or network. They got the same error.

I opened a support request and asked if they could help me manually open a Dropbox Business account. No, they couldn't. The best advice they were able to give me was to try clearing my browser cache and cookies (I did; it didn't help).

Finally I dug around and managed to find a link directly to a billing form, and was able to sign up by having them start billing me immediately instead of going through a free trial. I signed up for annual billing, naively assuming the per-user annual fee would be pro-rated (like Slack and most other good per-user services do) if our small company hired or lost any employees.

During the course of that year I did end up removing two users from our Dropbox Business account. Since we had already paid for the full year up front, I expected the next annual charge to reflect a pro-rated charge. But nope! The automatic renewal paid no attention to the _actual_ number of users on our account, and Dropbox charged us as if those users still existed.

Turns out the number of licenses you're billed for has to be managed manually. If you have 10 licenses and 10 users and then remove two users, that doesn't affect the license count. You have to remove two licenses manually. And if you pay up front for a year but remove two licenses halfway through the year? Too bad. No pro-rated reduced charge next year. Better be sure to predict your exact staffing numbers a year in advance next time.

Want to add a user halfway through the year when you're already at your license limit? It'll just fail with a cryptic error until you finally realize you need to first go to a different page and manually add a license. And sometimes (like literally as I type this) the Billing page you need to visit to do this is completely broken and just serves up an error that says "Oh hello. Sorry for this little hiccup."

Dropbox's core functionality works well and I have no complaints about it, but everything related to billing is so unintuitive and so frequently broken that I wonder whether they even care about it.

So yeah, I guess it doesn't surprise me that canceling is hard too.

You can have unlimited developers using the app from accounts with your domain.

You really should get at least 250 users though, since at $10 / user / month that would be enough to cover the cost of the security assessment, and the assets under protection are going to be minimal enough so as to not attract any non-automated attacks.

Just a couple of days ago there was a piece reporting research that the UK had the highest fossil fuel subsidies in the EU, to the tune of £10.5bn a year), along with another piece earlier in the week that we have to increase allocation of public funds for subsidising North Sea oil rig decomissioning. Can't quickly dig up a link for the second, but it was around £25bn.

I wanted to subscribed to Mediapart, one of the very very few independent news site in France. Everything is online (subscription, article) but the unsubscription with requires register mail! That's crazy, they are financed only by subscriptions (paywall, no ads) and not backed by any major media group/tycoon/the state, but they still rely on this dishonest practice. I read that you can unsubscribe by email, but if it's not written in the terms and conditions I'm not going to trust them on that. What a pity.
This is how my old gym was (Crunch Fitness), at least several years ago. I moved cities and had forgotten about the subscription until I checked my bank statement - so I called them and asked to cancel. They said I needed to do so in person, or physically mail them some form (wasn't exactly clear on where I get this form from...). Even after being pretty irate and asking for a manager, I got those canned responses.

I suppose it was lucky that I was visiting that city the upcoming weekend, so I did end up cancelling in person - but my experience sounded and felt illegal.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that's how transaction logs and rollbacks work in general. When you rollback a transaction, it doesn't remove the entry/action from the logs, rather it applies the negating transaction to the log. For an insert, it applies a delete. For a delete, it applies an insert. For an update, it applies an update of the previous value. The term rollback can be misleading since most people ( including myself ) would believe that the transaction is essentially erased and we go back to that point in time before the transaction.

> If my laptop doesn't have a GPU, can I still do all exercises?

To answer this, while technically you could do the exercises, it is possible that it will take longer (perhaps much longer) to train models and whatnot without a GPU. Where you'll really have a hard time will be anything for deep learning and large neural networks. What might take a few seconds or minutes to train on a GPU might take hours with just a CPU with a few cores.

But not to worry - in the course it explains that you can use a variety of "cloud based" GPU systems that are fairly cheap to access (provided you have a credit card). So if you can't get access to a GPU, there are other ways that won't put you in the poorhouse (just make absolutely sure to completely shutdown and/or delete your VM instances you spin up).

Also - while you could use another language, it is best to stick with Python for now, because it has become almost the defacto language for ML and Deep Learning, at least as far as for education and such. Mainly because it has such great libraries for scientific computing available, plus it is easily approachable. It also has a great interface to Tensorflow (and ultimately CUDA and NVidia GPUs - also, get used to the fact that if you do anything DL related, you will be using NVidia almost exclusively; while AMD and others have their own DL hardware, it isn't nearly as well supported - maybe it will be better supported in the future).

That said - Tensorflow does have decent support in a number of languages, especially C++ - so if you are more familiar with that language, you'll be set to do some amazing things once you complete the course.

But Python, again, is really where it's at. Tensorflow is a great library that abstracts away a lot of the pain in dealing with CUDA. But even it has pain - and there are other libraries layered over it that make things even easier to work with (ie - Keras). Seriously; in the training I've had with DL (mainly thru Udacity), we had to learn how to build a simplified DL "library" of methods for building simple neural networks.

Once you learn about Tensorflow, you will have an epiphany of "OMG so much easier!". Then - when you learn about Keras, it's yet another epiphany - it makes Tensorflow look "difficult". Of course, it's best to learn in this manner if you can, so that you understand how the lower levels work - instead of everything being a black-box.

Of course, at some level there will be "black-boxes"; for instance, you may or may not want to learn how Tensorflow interfaces with CUDA. Or how CUDA interfaces with the GPU. Or certain other methods in Tensorflow or some other library that perhaps wraps certain methods and functionality. Honestly, things are much nicer today than they were even 5 years ago. You can decide just what level of depth you want to explore down to.
