A paid version would be great but Google would have to figure out how to judge traffic levels without location data.
Yep my gear, especially the dock, probably enforces a minimum latency on everything.

The only time latency is noticeable to me is if I can type faster than displayed on screen. I type around 50 wpm so the computer doesn't have to respond that quickly to keep up. Online I found that equals 250 cpm, or ~4.2 cps, lets say it has 240ms per keypress to not fall behind. Plenty of time.

Just make the tickets for obstructing traffic as lucrative to write as speeding tickets, add a little case law to broaden the scope of "obstructing traffic" and the problem will magically solve itself. People will find something to do with those cars that does not cause congestion for no other reason than it's cheaper than parking.

i recently purchased a monitor and was looking for a way to figure out input lag without a camera setup.

one recommendation was to test your reaction time [1] on a known low-latency display. mine old one was a 1080p 21.5" Dell IPS LCD. I was worried that a 2k or 4k display would introduce lag, though at 60hz anything within 16ms g2g will feel the same and the 1440p Viewsonic i got advertised 15ms.

Best reaction time (~190ms) over multiple trials did not change after switching to new display. Not scientific, but certainly enough to catch something as large as 20ms+.

If your goal IS NOT that, then clearly what I suggested isn't going to be applicable is it?
Can we get a source on this? Not disputing but I had never heard that before and it's interesting.
24,500 injection drug users in SF means they are classifying one in in every 36 people as a "drug addict". This amount, if true, is over 20x higher than the national mean. Maybe it's true, but I find it difficult to believe that 1 in 32 SF adults are shooting up.
So, do taxis cause a parking problem? No... taxi's are on the roll because if they are parked they do not generate revenue. Every sensible self-driving car company out there is pursuing a ride service model. I don't see people taking a self-driving car that they own down into the city center and parking it there while they work 9 to 5.

Once self-driving ride services become competitive, people will own far fewer daily commuters. They will put their money into a 4WD that can take them skiing, and leave it in the driveway on work days.

"Isn't it too expensive and heavy for daily tasks?"

At my job, we're carting 50+ lb solar panels around every other minute, by hand. All of us here right now are just in fits of giggling at the thought of any laptop being too heavy to carry around all day.

To quote my Lay-up lead: "Si piensan que llevar una computadora portátil todo el día es un dolor, ¡deberían tratar de cargar a un niño durante 9 meses!"
It seems like this would be better as two laptops: An ultra-compact for carrying in your pocket, and a bigger one with tons of accessories that you carry in a Pelican for work in the field.

If you are climbing a mast or the like, you are probably out in the field with a kit. You probably don't need a laptop that can fit in your coat pocket. You probably want various cables and dongles and mounting brackets for tripod or pipe mount, etc...

For on-call, I'd be tempted to just use my phone. I can set up Android with SSH and VPN, I can use a bluetooth keyboard if I need to type a lot, or if I just need to get in and run some commands to investigate, I can use the on screen keyboard.

That was definitely for their benefit of their workers rather than the greater society, and on the whole doesn't seem much different than the larger Silicon Valley companies of today.

Take Facebook for example. They have a large utopian-esque campus for the benefits of their workers. In this campus they have bikes for getting around, free bars and restaurants (and an ice cream shop), an on campus doctor, bicycle repair shop, and in fact have somehow managed to convince CBP and USCIS to visit their campus to conduct Global Entry and Visa interviews instead of the workers having to travel to an office.

Couple this with the free employee shuttle buses for employees to travel from their homes to the campus, and it seems very much like the "Model village" you described.

EDIT: Here is a link to an article (with photo tour) of their Menlo Park campus: https://www.businessinsider.com/facebooks-disneyland-inspire...

I miss conversations with people at specialized book stores. I miss spending hours looking through the aisles. It was a great way to spend an afternoon on the weekend.

I like the convenience of purchasing books online. Admittedly, though, I've lost the whole community and culture of books that small bookstores provided.

Onzin Incorporated - San Francisco, California, USA [REMOTE]

Greetings! We are a small business in the US looking to hire a backend or DevOps engineer to work remotely with our team full or part time. The team is several engineers already, and you would be joining them in supporting our ongoing internal and external projects by helping to set up and provision backend systems and services, as well as some light application programming like API servers.

Our work is a combination of in-house projects with external client engagements filling in the gaps. For this role we would be looking for deep experience with back-end and infrastructure technologies like Amazon AWS or Google GCP, provisioning tools like Ansible / Puppet / Salt, Python development, shell scripting, Linux system administration, docker and containerization technologies, build and deploy servers, CloudFormation and Terraform for infrastructure management, as well as some basic networking skills. There will also be tasks involving setting up backend components like databases, job queues, and micro-services.

This is a great role for mid or senior level engineers who are looking for flexibility and some independence in how their work gets completed. Do note that while we are excited to be growing our business and adding a new position this year, we will likely remain a small team for the foreseeable future. We are also not a traditional ‘product’ company, and most of our time is spent on smaller applications and projects that eventually reach completion.

If you would like to know more, send a message to hiring@onzininc.com with your questions. To apply, please send a resume and few remarks about your background and technical experience to the same address. Thank you for reading, and good luck out there!
This is a great observation, in a sense you can treat the system as a large queue- SDVs slowly moving forward in a parking lot towards the exit during the day. The one closest would be invoked. This obviously only works with a taxi system, not "owned" SDVs.

Points taken. I should clarify that my experience is with French infantry, which I suspect accounts for the slight difference in vocabulary.

Re "firing solution", I've heard it used both in artillery (i.e.: "solution to a parabolic equation") and in a more general context of "tactical solutions". The latter might be an informal term, in US parlance, though.

FTA: "Bundling of services and lack of granular choices - If the user wants features such as Google Assistant and photos sorted by location, Google turns on invasive location tracking."

I unplugged my google home precisely for this reason. It wouldn't operate with all kinds of web and location tracking turned on. And when I turned them off it would only respond with something along the lines of "you have to turn on <tracking_feature_x> for google home to work properly."

The hell I do. Amazon doesn't require me to turn stuff like that on to work just fine.

It was blatant and a bit nauseating. After that I understood the google-free movement very well.

I would still like an all-on-site voice assistant that respects privacy.
The UK doesn't have to put anything up.

While that is technically true, it is practically false. If the UK reverts to trading on WTO terms, at least initially, the Most Favoured Nation principle essentially says that we have to trade with all other nations on an equal basis unless we make a comprehensive trade deal with someone. So if we let down the barriers and remove all restrictions at the Irish border, we are basically required to let down the equivalent barriers trading with anyone else at any border. That is not a sustainable policy.

In practice, if we have a hard Brexit with no big deal agreed at the end of March, I would expect both the UK and the EU/EU27 to make unilateral arrangements to protect their own people and businesses in the immediate aftermath and mitigate the likely negative effects as much as possible until better arrangements can be made. This is likely to include both the UK and Ireland declining to build new border infrastructure and turning a blind eye to any border crossings that would technically become illegal. But the EU would put great pressure on Ireland to address that issue quickly since any Irish border is also an EU border, and both the UK and Ireland would be subject to complaints at WTO level about the favourable treatment, which would take a considerable time to resolve but would inevitably result in some form of enforcement action if the issue was not addressed (which it surely would be to avoid that outcome, but the UK and Ireland would have bought themselves significant extra time by bending/breaking the rules until that point).

I would define a Silicon Valley company as a venture funded startup that leverages tech and has a set of ideologies that is usually left leaning American, usually values growth over profit, usually is fine with taking the law less serious if it's in the way of growth or profit, usually has elements of hacker culture, ...

... or any company that started out this way, which is why Microsoft can be considered to be a SV company.

The only universal job description of a CEO is to make sure the company wins. You can do this as the founder even if you have a lot of flaws that would normally disqualify you as a CEO as long as you hire people that complement your own skills and let them do their jobs. That experienced CEO with a fancy MBA may not have the skill gaps you have, but he or she won’t understand the users as well, won’t have the same product instincts, and won’t care as much.

--

The prime directive of great execution is “Never lose momentum”. But how do you do it?

The most important way is to make it your top priority. The company does what the CEO measures. It’s valuable to have a single metric that the company optimizes, and it’s worth time to figure out the right growth metric. If you care about growth, and you set the execution bar, the rest of the company will focus on it.

--

Earlier I mentioned that the only universal job description of the CEO is to make sure the company wins. Although that’s true, I wanted to talk a little more specifically about how a CEO should spend his or her time.

A CEO has to 1) set the vision and strategy for the company, 2) evangelize the company to everyone, 3) hire and manage the team, especially in areas where you yourself have gaps 4) raise money, and 5) set the execution quality bar.

In addition to these, find whatever parts of the business you love the most, and stay engaged there.

I think if you nail those parts, it probably doesn't matter how hard you work. Paul Buchheit observes that the world rewards results, not hard work.
Something feels off that we have to forcibly make room for local culture. It should stand on its own merit. It even has an advantage of being locale unique and physically local.
Imagine applying for transit to work somewhere in the range of 8-10 AM and a giant transit optimizer schedules your self driving car pickup and drop off.

Not in the sense that all cars are coordinating at the tactical driving level, but broadly at the planning level. We want x cars on the road at time t to optimize efficiency. That would be nice futuresque public transport

> In my mind, the biggest problem is that it offers you virtually no help in writing correct parallel and incremental builds.

That’s interesting, because in my mind, parallel and incremental builds are the main features of Make, the features that it is best at, and all other features are secondary.

It sounds like your problem is with the correctness part. Make gives you no tools to enforce that your build rules are actually correct. Very few build systems provide any help here. What you are looking for is hermeticity. Bazel does this by sandboxing execution of all the build rules, and only the specified rule inputs are included in the sandbox. I recommend Bazel.

Otherwise, it is up to you to get your build rules correct, and switching build systems won’t help in general (although they may help in specific cases).

I find it surprising that you talk about using Make for a clean serial build, because if you want a clean serial build, you might as well use a shell script. Make’s only real purposes are to give you tools for incremental and parallel builds. Nearly any other tool you replace Make with will either have you sacrifice incremental/parallel builds or will give you the same hermeticity problems you would encounter with Make. Replacing Make, the main paths I see are towards improved versions of the same thing (e.g. Ninja, tup), completely redesigned versions of the same thing (Ant, SCons), systems and languages which generate makefiles (e.g. autotools, CMake), and the new wave of build systems which provide hermeticity (Bazel, Buck, Pants, Please). This last group is a very recent addition.

Mind you, Make is old and not especially well-designed, and it has plenty of limitations, but it’s good enough at incremental/parallel builds that it has stuck around for so many decades. Make is good enough at what it provides that replacements like Ant, SCons, Tup, Ninja, etc. don’t seem like much of an improvement.
