I think I see - so if $7.50 in the USA in 2011 can buy 5Kg of rice, then the equivalent income in Cambodia is about $2.50 and in Australia is about $25... is that right?
Good catch, I misread. I would be interested to see the projected cost of the de-scoped project.

Operating & maintenance costs would also be critical to determining whether this actually makes any sense.
Brutalist architecture, by itself is fine (example all of the UCSD campus). But when architects decide to put a brutalist building right in the middle of a city where the rest of the architecture is not Brutalist is when it rankles (example Boston City Hall).

Eight Megs? On the machine I was using 36 years ago, each process had a limit of 64 KB for code + 64 KB for data. It was 8086 based and that was called the small-memory model. Later versions of the OS added support for the medium-memory model which could support 192 KB of code + 64 KB of data.
The alternative is spending money on rail inside SF and LA. Connecting the cities is a solution to a non-problem.
In a trivial sense, it seems that a Euclidean topology would do the trick, no? I'd be curious to hear counter-examples, of course. In my mind, I suppose what's missing from the "manifold hypothesis", as stated above, is that the manifolds should be more useful than raw data, for example, does their structure respect our notion of object categories or are they sufficiently low-dimensional for visualization?

I would concur. The BFF pattern works really well with GraphQL.

I think 'One Graph' makes sense if that's how you model your data under the covers (e.g. Facebook's graph store)—but if you're in a service-laden world, it makes far less sense.
GitHub is a terrible metric. You probably use tools like grep and ls many times a day... you do not check if ls is up to modern standards and has a constant stream of issues and fixes. You don’t do it for grep, or git...you depend on git.

You cannot apply instant gratification to software library dev. If the work for a library was done and satisfied in 2015, then it’s fucking done. It’s tried and tested. It gets security patches. It’s maintained.

Recency and the last github commit is not a metric for stability or success.
Suspension maintenance is not out of the question for the home mechanic. You can align the suspension to an accuracy that's safe to drive for short distances at low (not highway) speed. All you need is a level, a tap measure, and a little bit of high school math. I have saved quite a bit of money doing this.

Edit: Of course, you'll want to drive it to an alignment shop right away.
Exactly. You can distribute raw APKs. You can put your app on FDroid. You can put your app on the Amazon Appstore. You can create your own appstore to compete with Google's and Amazon's and FDroid.

Completing HSR is expensive and defensible.

Abandoning HSR is cheap and defensible.

Building a uselessly short stretch of HSR is less cheap and indefensible.

This decisions fits in with the lack of focus that has been one of the most commented on features of Newsome’s ml short tenure as governor so far.

EDIT: Reviewing the source again, it's even worse: despite abandoning any intention of the state building the rest of the system, Newsome wants to complete environmental reviews on the whole SF to LA líne and seek federal and private funds for it, as if the state abandoning the rest of the line makes outside funding more realistic.

The least incompetent interpretation I can see for this is that the Newsome Administration just horribly botched an attempt to announce that they were not going to expend state resources on land acquisition or construction outside of the initial 119-mile segment until and unless new external financing (which has always been envisioned as essential to project completion) is secured; that this is a refocussing not a cancellation. Otherwise, it's just flat-out bonkers.

> (3) If it's built in one part of the state, it creates peer pressure for other parts of the state to build it. It looks bad to be the one part of the state that is blocking it.

Hah, do you live in the Bay Area? With the amount of NIMBYism, I don't think peer pressure would help with getting it built to connect the SF/SJ connections. It's why we do not have BART going for a full loop around the bay. Santa Clara county voted it down.
I worked for a small design agency that got stiffed on a six figure invoice this way. There was absolutely nothing they could do about it and the bankrupt founder didn't even bother apologizing. It almost killed a 10 person company that the studio head had spent a decade building up from a sole proprietorship.

So the government completely fails one of the few major domestic duties it has and this is excusable? What should people do? Revolt? Kill the Uber CEO? Or plan C, other type of violence? Because without a working government, what recourse do people have? Why should people hold up their end of the social contract if the government doesn't hold up its own?

An alternative architecture (following the BFF idea):

* Non-GraphQL services (speaking REST, gRPC, whatever)
* GraphQL gateways, owned by frontend teams/applications.

E.g. each frontend team/application owns its own schema owned by these teams. They can compose the backend services however they wish—and whatever is the most natural representation for their domain.
This project is already grade-separated in the sense that there are no level crossings: even though they're in the "empty" central valley, there's still hundreds of grade-separated crossings that need to be built, not just through the cities, but also rural roads as well.

So while it's cheaper out in the Valley than in LA or SF, it's still significantly more expensive than a non-grade-separated, say, ~75-100 mph-rated track would entail, the sorts of which are common in Europe and do a decent job moving people around cities spaced at such distances.

Live demo is hosed at the moment. I think you should host the one that allows cache purges on a separate instance.
Yup, but using Travis as the platform for an autograder makes it A LOT easier for teachers/professors with less access to dev time to implement a great iteration platform. At Berkeley our intro classes had world-class infrastructure autograders (release I believe as ok.py https://okpy.org/) - but I imagine less staffed courses could benefit from a workflow like this. Plus, it gives students the benefit of familiarity with actual tools that are in use in the industry.

I wonder what kind of competitive advantage China will have by being able to build infrastructure more effectively than the US.

For example, China already has 18,000 miles of high-speed rail. They’ll have another 7,000 miles in 6 years.

I imagine there are many other examples where they are more effective. Subways, airports, roads, etc?

I'm a VP for a software consultancy focused on IoT: I'm not surprised it wasn't a success. I give them props for trying to leverage Android for IoT, but in the end I think it was a poor fit:

1. Most IoT devices are still based on smaller MCUs, not Linux. FreeRTOS and systems like it are where the majority of vendors go.

2. The smaller (but still sizable) market for embedded linux don't naturally gravitate to Java.

3. It was a subpar developer experience, IMHO. For example, see this link for a "Blinky" app, which is a sort of like the "hello world" for embedded:

https://medium.com/@monkeytypewritr/android-things-getting-t...

To put that in context, here's a blinky app in mbed, which is C++ based:

https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky/blob/maste...

To be far: It's apples and oranges comparison (Mbed is for bare metal), but it gives you a taste for the amount of boilerplate Android Things required.

Now, if one of the major vendors invested in Rust? That would be interesting...

* There are standing meeting nights that I can go to for social contact

* It does good work in the community

* It lets you meet folks outside of work circles

* It lets you have an opportunity to build soft and leadership skills

* If I have to leave for a while because of work or other time commitments, I know I can rejoin in 1, 5 or 10 years and be welcomed back.

Highly recommend. Even easier if you can get a group of folks to join. And most of the older members I chatted with were thrilled to have new members.
I just have to say, for your first point, it indeed does work... It's just that what it works for isn't what everyone's hyping. For buying things and supporting services that are illegal or culturally resented, it is working just fine, and has been for many years without interruption. :)

I agree, if your data spans multiple logical core domains you could potentially have one entry per core domain, auxiliary data that spans domains can be supplied by each core domains issuer in a manner that is logical for that domain.
This is a new project I've been working on with my colleagues.

We believe every non-trivial cloud infrastructure would benefit from real public key infrastructure (a private CA and management tools). The challenge is making this stuff more accessible to non-experts.

We have some generic tooling, but now we're starting to go deep on a few verticals. In this case, we're trying to get "real PKI" spun up on a Kubernetes cluster quickly and easily.

We'd love feedback! Aside from the obvious technical stuff, if you have ideas on how we can communicate the value of proper certificate management I'd love to hear them!

Follow the law. We need to have Federal laws that require Electronics Companies or Importers to recycle their equipment. Those Federal laws do not exist today.

In the USA, corporations fight right to repair laws. That's the current state of the affairs. It has to transition from that into a more thoughtful usage driven buying/selling process.

There is nothing wrong in buying newer, better electronics - but junking the old ones as e-waste is absolutely wrong.
This 77 billion boondoggle would have done very little to improve commute times either. It is a mismatch as well. It isn't local transit, and would be serving a few stations at most in the bay area. It doesn't provide any new routes or alternatives other than moving farther out from the city.

How apt that this is posted today! I've been tracking my reading progress on the Google SRE Workbook via Beeminder, and today I am derailing my goal because I am far behind. [1]

I started tracking my progress because I wanted to see how much I can actually read in a day on a regular basis without losing focus and abandoning it, I even got a Kindle because it was on sale.

Long story short, 10 pages a day was what I settled on as a reasonable goal, and here I am not keeping up with that.

I actually should mention too that there is a person on GitHub[2] who converts texts to epub/mobi as a hobby, and that's how I saved $50 on my copy of the SRE book and workbook, Kindle edition, which are freely available in HTML format, thanks Google[3]!

That won't "ramp up" costs unless the initial estimate for the costs included wrong numbers for labor. Ramp up from what? An uninformed guess?
Agree. If you don't have the software engineering skills to implement a monolith, then you have even less skills implementing micro-services.

Sounds like you have a hard-on for the government.

The federal government already regulates motor carriers, including inspections by federal and state regulatory bodies. They understand how to predict risk for vehicle operations, and can scale that assessment up to massive fleets like UPS or USPS or down to an individual vehicle operator.

End of the day, individuals on average are awful at risk assessment and consistent behavior. To borrow another phrase, brakes are what allow cars to drive faster.

there is no private/public tokens concept in Ethereum. You can have a pre-sale, a locking period, etc. but eventually what you're doing is creating a sub-cryptocurrency and giving some of the token/coin you're creating to people. After that your contract defines a time where transactions are allowed, or you can create a switch, but I see 0 reasons to keep the switch OFF.

> Someone PLEASE explain to me WHY the governing bodies on this project decided to start with Merced -> Bakersfield.

A couple reasons; pragmatically, there were issues toward both termini, but an initial route in the Valley would be useful to connect to either terminus and start getting real benefit (the valley stretch alone is of very little, though non-zero, utility)

Politically, the program faced state-internal opposition from Republicans, and putting the initial construction and operation, with associated jobs and benefits in one of the more Republican areas of the route was a mechanism to mitigate that.
(I agree with you mostly, but technically a) several prisoners are willing to work and just constrained, and may well have been imprisoned directly from an honest job, and b) prisoners in the US are often compelled to work as slaves. So prisoners are not a great example of people unwilling to work, though they are a great example of it being financially workable for the government to provide meals and housing for a set of people who are not in fact on the public labor market.)

Because the US has a uniquely mismanaged procurement process, construction unions that insist on 4x the number of workers, and myopic regulations. The whole system has become warped to slow down and prevent construction, while at the same time maximize costs. It’s absurd.

Let’s take California HSR for example. Multiple environmental impact studies and appeals, and even afterwards, every city on the peninsula demanded a different system to install the tracks. One wants elevated tracks, another wants a trench, another insists the train be at grade, yet another wants it moved miles away, finally someone wants a commuter rail stop.

We can’t build anything in this country. It’s disgusting.

There are a number of ways to do this, including a backup client that only sends data but doesn't write, a read only bind remount, or an lvm read only snapshot.

The last one is best I think. Make the new lv device readable to the backup user and have it mount it, then copy the data.
I used to work in this field. The goal is not to create something unbeatable. The goal is to make something difficult enough that it becomes more cost effective for a fraudster to attack someone else instead. Acquiring thousands of credit card numbers and credentials (and even CVCs) is trivial. Actually converting those to real cash using real hardware is an incredible pain compared to just finding the least well defended e-commerce site out there that will sell you a gift card or bitcoin or whatever.

We used to say that our job wasn't to stop fraud, it was to move the attacks to Paypal instead. I don't have strong product opinions on this either way (personally I find all the card scanning apps to be incredibly annoying, but I think I'm a minority), but I do think it'll be a long time before I'd be worried about self-embossed cards being a meaningful attack vector.
