I enjoyed this post, but I take issue with the idea that Chrome was initially adopted, or served, "to break the Web free from corporate greed." Chrome's appeal was primarily technical. Each tab got its own process and could crash without taking down the entire browser. No one else had this at the time, and it was a big deal because Flash was still widespread so sites were even less stable than they are today.

Luckily, Firefox, arguably among the most "free from corporate greed" of the browsers, has now finally caught up to Chrome on stability and speed (in my experience), and is rapidly adding privacy and content blocking features and defaults that Chrome lacks. If it were still behind Chrome technically, as it was in 2008, it probably wouldn't matter that Mozilla is more trustworthy than Google.
> All the big SoC vendors would have to get on board and rewrite their milions of lines of their kernel code on top of Fuchsia.

Apple's PPC to x86 transition was successful, as was their Carbon to Cocoa transition. If you want device driver specific examples, Microsoft's Win9x to XP transition was successful, if lengthy, as was its transition to WDDM for video drivers.

SoC and other hardware vendors go where the money is; they may grumble and drag their feet but they will make the transition if it's required of them.
Temperature is chaotic, but with a large predictable component. Except for black swans, a computer model can get on the ballpark, and the climatology people have many of them.

The specifics of how trees react to increase CO2 concentration varies from one species to the other. AFAIK, only a few species have been measured, thus the increase on rate of growth on that component is quite uncertain. That can be improved by empirical tests, that many specializations of science are currently working into. Of course, the big elephant in the room here is ocean plankton, that has a two sided relation with CO2, because it both participates on photosynthesis and increases ocean acidity. AFAIK, there is little known on how those react.

Solar incidence is completely predictable, and doesn't tell a good story for global warming.

And for humidity, I don't think there is any reliable model out there. None of those are my specialization, so I may be wrong, but I don't think we have anything nearly viable for predicting this one.
Grin is quite amazing concept when it comes to privacy.
This was definitely the case with my grandparents, but it wasn't even cancer it was just the long term cost of care for people who live well into their 90s.
That's part of it but I think it goes much deeper than just recent examples like the Covington kids. I can't stand most of cable news because any topic that I know anything about, political or not, I know I'm being lied to through omission of key facts. CNN/MSNBC are especially unwatchable because, like clockwork and for many years now, they bring on several "experts" that magically always champion Democrat's causes but will only bring on few or very weak proponents of any other opposing view. Many media outlets will continually bring out their best champions for something to go up against the absolute worst proponent the other side has to offer. To people who only watch CNN/MSNBC, it will look like Macho Man Randy Savage is constantly beating down Spongebob but that's simply the purposeful illusion they carefully cultivate.

There is also a tendril that reaches into Academia. Free speech on most campuses is dead. The left has seen to that. Kids are being militantly trained to shut down speakers with whom they disagree, simply because they disagree. This empowers the rest of politics because these kids will never let fairness and unbiased reporting happen and the more prestigious the school this happens at, the more likely these students will affect the media in their lifetimes.
They hoard Monopolized knowledge that can likely be known by a cancer technician. Then they charge a premium for it. The therapy, doctor visits and all that come from them and they charge that much because you're dying and you need access to their monopolized knowledge.

Reduce 12 years of training to 4 years and lower the selection criteria of students entering a specialty and I'll show you an economy where doctors are not in always stressed out and paid fairly. Grades never correlate with how good a doctor is, so why are we filtering the supply of doctors based off of that criteria. It's insane. We need more software engineers so we bootcamp it. We need more cancer specialists we should lower the selection criteria and train specialists without the overhead of 12 years of training where the majority of that training is irrelevant and used to only filter and reduce the supply of doctors.

Then they hide behind the bureaucracy as if they aren't in control. I know I'm in good hands because said doctor knows organic chemistry and had a high enough GPA to get into medschool.
The Cheaper, Greener Future of France's High-Speed Trains
If there are two people in the Pool on average, $6 for a 15 minute ride feels like it could be a sustainable price to me. When Pool first launched in Boston/Cambridge, I used to almost always be solo. Now, I would say that my average occupancy is 1.75 to 2 on Pool rides. It's also to the point that Pool rides seem to be cheap when they would result in Pooling and almost the same price as UberX when they'd more likely be solo.

If they're undercutting public transport and doing so at a sustainable price, I view that as healthy competition. If they're undercutting solely based on VC subsidies, that will inevitably end. In the Boston market, I think they're likely profitable on an overall basis, just as grocers are overall (very slightly) profitable, even when they sell loss-leaders and give other subsidies to consumers.
> This problem is no longer exclusive to the Bay Area.

When people question why so many companies start or stay in the Bay Area, "density of talent" inevitably comes up as one of the reasons. I can't reconcile that assertion with this one here.

You mean the paragraph mark, "¶"? The Show All feature in Word will highlight whitespace, tabs, newlines, which is helpful. But in WordPerfect, Reveal Codes would show much more than that: style changes, image and table introductions, etc. It was much more like looking at the HTML source of a Web page in a Web Developer tool -- not only could you see the tags, but you could modify and remove them easily and precisely.
To be fair, the US does have social security and medicare which gives out checks and healthcare to people 65 or older.

It left a sour taste in my mouth that Microsoft joined Chrome instead of investing in FireFox and helping them advance their multi-process architecture quicker.
I don't think anyone can think about it realistically until they are in that situation. How much is another year of your life worth to you? And to your loved ones for that matter? (assuming we're talking terminal cancer here, which it might not be)

I have family that suffered from cancer and spent a good lot of money prolonging their life by about eighteen months. They were not pleasant months, but I don't think for a second that the family would have preferred to take the lump sum instead.

In short, every decision is horrible.
At some point there will be an incentive to move closer to where you drive to the most often. For a lot of people this would be their job.

Unfortunate that the sprawl is so heavily subsidized. In a world where it wasn't, people would make different choices about where to live and work.
I don't have a particular example in mind, but a lot of recruiters or even companies are still biased by credentials and resume buzzwords and don't have a proper vetting process to filter through the noise.
Yes, there is a pin and usually a limit to attempts. Ledger has a 3 attempt limit and then it'll reset the device. You can retrieve your funds by entering a 23 word mnemonic phrase that was generated when first setting up the ledger (and keys).
He specifically states it's not ideal. And the question of other Chromium forks to me, is how well are they maintained and are they actively investigated for security vulnerabilities?

Ideally, of course, you should not use Chromium-based browsers at all. Unfortunately this also now rules out Edge, but thankfully, Firefox is now a great browser again.
The north, where a lot of the new greening will occur, also has shorter days as winter comes. How much longer could the growing seasons in the north get?
So, rather than examining if there are ways to make public transport more convenient, appealing, and competitive, the only solution is to make private transport less appealing?

At what point do we become so outraged that people are being killed for profit that we actually change things? Our culture is so obscene. We need to change our attitude on egregious wealth from admiration to disgust. When you see a mansion, you should see the trampling of lives for exorbitant luxury; when you see a million dollar car, you should see children going hungry; but what you really see is something you can be someday, that you may one day be that big shot everyone admires, you don't see the suffering this culture brings. And in the end, it robs you from what is important and good in life: loving others. So this greed is not only destructive to the world, it is also destructive to your experience of life.
In Australia the Leftist government of Gough Whitlam introduced health-coverage-for-all in 1975 with a scheme called Medibank. In 1984 after a couple of governments, Bob Hawke's Leftist government created the Medicare scheme (Medibank became a government provider of private health insurance), which exists to this day.

The most interesting stat I ever heard about Medicare was this: prior to Medicare the number one cause of personal bankruptcy in Australia was medical bills.

So I'm with Bernie on this: health coverage for all is an incredibly important goal.

While we're at it, let's end the monopoly given to drug companies on the sale of pharmaceuticals in the US. You should be able to legally import them from, at the very least, any NAFTA country and any EU member.
Insurance costs are insane, but prices for treatment are also ridiculously insane.
You don't even need to buy any starter, it is sufficient to buy a pack or bottle of cup of one of those 'active' fermented products - yoghurt, filmjölk, kefir, etc. Use the stuff until you have about 10% left, now add fresh (pasteurised or sterilised, up to you, no need to heat it to some special temperature as long as it is fresh enough), shake it so the two are mixed, warm the pack or bottle a bit (in hot water or in a microwave, you want it to end up somewhere around body temperature) and put it in a warm spot for a day (or longer, or less, your choice). I generally put the pack next to the water heater as that keeps it warm enough but not too hot. Once ready you use it until you have about 10% left, repeat the above cycle, use, etc.

I live in the Netherlands, if I would get cancer my contracting income would go to zero, I would have to get a government mortgage to eat my home and after depleting all my assets I would get welfare of about €1000 per month. Bye-bye retirement.

The upside is that my healthcare expense would drop from about €5000 per year to €500 pear year.
And this is why Chrome will win, become complacent, and a new browser will dethrone it like it did IE. Meanwhile, Firefox will continue to hover around the 10% mark or so.
The last instance on that page occurred in the early 1970s. I never claimed the past was free of bad events. I said, prospectively, that a person could be relatively sure the rule of law would be followed on the subject of warrant canaries, in some countries.
>This is not technically possible with Bitcoin [...]

Of course, it is. The government could force everyone to send Bitcoins to a special account which is then distributed to victims (i.e. a tax). That would actually be better than what we have now. By printing more cash, people with cash are punished while actually rich people (who own stock, real estate, factories, jets etc.) are not.
I've found it works very well when theres a mentor/mentee dynamic so long as the mentor has a mentoring mindset. But when I have something time-sensitive to deliver, I almost always stay away from it.
I want to add that in most of western countries, the cancer treatment offered in USA won't even be considered due to the way they manage expenses. If they consider treatment not worth the years of life added, they just skip them.

In my experience I can't stream video on firefox without the video freezing within the first 5 minutes, and it feels clunky even with non video webpages. I really hate google the company, and I'd love to stop using their software, but so far I have yet to see a browser that even comes close to chrome.
Dude insurance companies compete with one another. IF they could they would offer a service that has no hidden fees and is cheap because it would put them at a competitive advantage. Who wouldn't buy from insurance that offers this. They'd make big money if they can do this.

They don't do this because they can't. Insurance isn't the root of the problem they are only a symptom of it. The root of the problem is medical bills. Doctors.

Considering all the shit shows I've seen with "smart" devices, I think a dedicated adversary could break into pretty much all smart home setups, and I'd guess more than half would be vulnerable to scripted/automated attacks.
Developing against Chrome is exactly "support every browser's quirks" instead of developing against the actual standards (usually Firefox has the truest implementation of which).
I thought that once DNS is resolved the DNS request doesn't go any further and the actual request is sent to the IP address...
> Chrome's appeal was primarily technical

Among the tech crowd, probably. For the remaining 99.99% of users, absolutely not. Chrome's appeal came from the pervasive advertisement campaigns, from the bundling strategy with other pieces of software, for the pre-installation on new computers or from the ads on Google SEarch homepage.
I would think Sandymount routes would have few students on them, considering the price of living in that part of the city. What's more, blaming the problem on students/young people (ie. me and my peers) seems short sighted.

I have lived near Ballymun/Glasnevin for years (where there are indeed students), and would consider the problem similarly widespread everywhere I've seen in the city.

I think the mentioned problem of the choke point in the city centre was the important one for me; it's impossible to get from where I live to more or less anywhere else on the Northside without a half hour's bus to O'Connell, a change, and then a 30 minute bus again in the other direction, even if where I am trying to go is just a 10-15 minute direct drive from where I started. Walking to my destination, no matter where it is, has almost always taken a similar amount of time as getting a bus, since I moved to Dublin.

All this said, there's new bus routes coming in, so we'll see if it changes. I'm leaving the city ASAP though.
When you get old you presumably qualify for Medicare.
I don’t think “cash” necessarily implies fiat. Bitcoin’s model of creating new currency is different from both fiat and gold, although it’s certainly a lot closer to gold.
This problem is no longer exclusive to the Bay Area. Hiring is time-consuming and expensive, and many startups feel that
they can’t compete with some of the top salaries and perks offered by deep-pocketed alternatives.

Offer to teach the developer something.

"Java developers - want to learn Node and React?"

"Rails developers - want to learn Elixir?"

Get one senior person on staff who really knows the stack well and require that they pair program every day with a different member of the team.

Good developers are grateful for the opportunity to level up their skills, contribute, and still make a living.

Andres Camacho in SF has been VP of Engineering and CTO at several startups and is king of this strategy.
This seems to align with my experience, particularly your first point.

For context, I’m working as an Associate Product Manager (so not quite a Product Engineer) but I had applied for a job at a Start-up company that I found extremely interesting. Had an initial interview but didn’t hear back from the company for about a month. I had also sent follow up e-mails about this.

When I eventually did hear back from them, they apologised for their delay but then spun me with a homework assignment that would have taken at least 2 days. Safe to say, I kindly declined.

So yeah, really focus on how you’re recruiting for talent.
Downvoters, please feel free to explain what in this post you find wrong/objectionable. Posting this with a throwaway appears to have been the prudent decision.
They bankrupt you first for working!

- Allow for self-treatment, Lowes for medicine
It includes the flannel network plugin by default (although you can change this) and a basic service load balancer (technically not an ingress, but providing the same functionality). From the README:

> k3s includes a basic service load balancer that uses available host ports. If you try to create a load balancer that listens on port 80, for example, it will try to find a free host in the cluster for port 80. If no port is available the load balancer will stay in Pending.
Try to think outside of the US/Eurozone. At least a billion unbanked individuals still have cellphones.

Meanwhile in SF, the homeless all have cell phones. They are also frequent customers of Bitcoin ATMs according to an convenience store clerk that I asked because he watches over one.
You may feel responsible, but can you change anything? It sounds like the answer is no.

You may love it too much to let go - you feel like you would lose a part of yourself if you leave. But if you stay and watch the thing you love being dragged through the mud day after day, is that going to be better, or worse? I suspect worse.

I suspect that you can't do anything to help. I suspect that you need to get out, because staying is going to destroy you. Staying (even at the price of being destroyed) to save others is noble. Staying and being unable to do anything to help isn't noble - just unwise.
OP - the footnotes seem to be reversed.
isn't that because OSes have broken async filesystem APIs that can't be trusted?

But network requests (like dns) have well defined APIs for async, and should never be required to block a thread, and therefore do not need a threadpool.
With the advent of plastic no doubt.
The plastic/petroleum economy (parodied in Superman3) killed off many more sustainable (wood/glass/metal) programs, as they allowed more consumption with all externalities ignored.

Now we're paying the price. I'm at the point where I've started to change my purchase habits to avoid packaging in general. This means more veggies and paper-packed meat and less frozen.

Adding costs to dispose of plastic waste (preferably at the storefront) would greatly improve options.
No, my family in Canada and UK don't deal with any of this. In the US, it's not even worth your time figuring out how much your treatment will cost, other than whether or not the provider is in network or not. Assume it's the out of pocket maximum for your insurance, because when you go to a provider, you sign a blank check that says you will be responsible for whatever chargers they make up during the course of your treatment. So your only ally is the insurance company, who has the power to deny payment for things like $15 worth of linens (which was actually a few pieces of paper towel).
True cryptocurrencies, read properly decentralized (which currently means through an expensive and well distributed PoW process) allow the creation of digital assets whose issuance and transfer mechanisms can't be tempered with by a central agent. This is a true pretty massive innovation. This is not reinventing the wheel, that wheel did not exist until bitcoin showed up.

It comes with unique upsides, eg: a central bank can’t inflate them, which for monetary assets, is a massive part of the valuation equation, eg: I can transact in them in a collapsed economy with no functioning money (ie venezuela). It comes with downsides, eg: if i get my bitcoin stolen I have less governmental power to find redress. But there’s a bit of a fallacy in the thinking that fiats are better from that perspective.

I would argue fiats are generally the same but the government has an additional option in that they can print more money to make specific people whole. Example a bank goes under because there was fraud, someone managed to pull out fiat through some means (pulling out cash for example). Because the government owns the press they can print more fiat to make depositors whole. This isn’t a magic bullet though, because you’re in effect imposing a monetary tax on the rest of the fiat saving community by doing so.

Outside of that solution, which isn’t a 0 cost one, the situation is identical to cryptos, you have to go through the courts to get your stolen holdings back. And if you lost them, it's no different than if your bundle of cash had gone up in flames or your stash of gold had gone down with a ship, you'd be out of luck. The massive thing cryptos provide is a digital savings mechanism that can’t be inflated by a central agent. If you’re a digital monetary saver, that’s a hugely compelling alternative which has a massive potential market base.
I'd like to know where the patient with the $870 MRI bill was seen. My last MRI was billed at over $7500. Before I started treatment for my brain tumor I got divorced for purely financial reasons and gave all my remaining money to my children. USA is so fucked.
Most western countries are subsidized by US pharmaceutical innovation.
This is a good thing. You don't want to be putting something in you that doesn't work. Drugs need massive R&D and that's why it's effective.

I'm more talking about the majority of your bill where the doctor basically spends 5 minutes with you and charges 2k.
