What, exactly, are the costs associated with destroying the hearing of everyone within 500 feet? With waking all the sleeping children within that range? With disturbing the concentration of everyone working from home in that range?

A tax that reflects the actual externalities of the usage would be functionally the same as a ban and impossible to actually manage.
Think about this: Wouldn't it be nice if installing apps on your desktop was as simple as just a folder? And everything lived in that folder instead of sprawling out into the OS everywhere? Copy that folder to run more, or replace it to update, or delete it to remove everything.

That's what Docker does. It lets you wraps everything into a single isolated package (a container) that can run whatever you want without affecting anything else on the system, and then cleans up perfectly. You can connect it to networks and disks but There were APIs for most of these things already in Linux but Docker brought it all together into a simple interface.

The other big innovation is the Docker registry that makes images easily available over HTTP. No more complicated downloads or package systems, instead you could just point to a simple host/image:label address and download whatever you need. That simplicity and flexibility is what made it take off.
I love Debian as a user. I considered becoming a DM then DD -- I read all the relevant documents and tested water with maintaining a package I used -- but ultimately gave up due to the bureaucracy and politics involved.

I would pay for an ecosystem of images that are vetted for security issues. They could even build an industry around security and privacy compliance and certification, which risk-averse companies (and those who want to do business with them) would pay for.
I was in architecture school and the coolest stuff we were doing was building 3D structures with a program called Grasshopper. I learnt that the program was written in Python code, and thought "the people driving the thing I'm most excited about in Architecture are programmers, not Architects".

Before then it had not really clicked how much code was driving innovation all over the place.
If somebody created true AI, they could create a search engine with it that is better than Google.
Hey mate. Can you share some of the behaviours (while not giving away any personal details) as that would helpful for managers and employees in better identifying it and with it?
Anyone have a decent process / library for renewals ? Let Encrypt is great but the certs need to be renewed every 3 months which is annoying.
It's a start. I doubt this is the steady state. I would expect fewer restrictions and higher rents as word gets out, the owners get more comfortable renting, and they find tenants they like.
If Boeing is issuing software updates that disable manual override without telling pilots, Boeing is completely at fault here, and some of the engineers/executives should face criminal charges.

I just got a sticker, but I think you guys could improve on the work, I see potential with the logo and variants, and a mascot would be very cool.
Just saying, well done merchandising sells well. Good luck!
You should automate the process and not manually request certificates. They are saying this for a long time. Every client can auto-renew.
I'll accept that chastisement, especially respecting that this is your site. But I do feel that the Bay Area vs. not discussions are as relevant to our industry as ageism, or any other criteria that causes us to judge each other unfairly. I'll seek better ways to engage in those discussions, though.

> I hope that we will be able to significantly slow down demyelination

Recent drugs can already significantly slow down demyelinination but these stronger drugs come with stronger side effects. And that's why I suppose you are doing a MRI follow-up to check the activity of disease: so that doctors know which drugs they should prescribe you.

Today immuno-neurology research is a hot field in which converge both research for neuro-degenerative diseases and research for various forms of cancer. You probably already know that most MS pts have an almost normal life expectancy. I think it's quite probable that in the next decades the disease will become stoppable for the majority of patients. (just think of tech and medicine 30 years ago...)
Yep. Until Google abandons CT or the industry grows a pair (and a brain) we're stuck with not being able to use stock web PKI for confidential internal hosts.
As opposed to just using the wildcard itself?
Because if my luck persists my mortgage gets paid down by then.
Maybe they could have required them to have catalytic converters.
I would understand if you were talking about certificates, but DNS? It should not be trusted by default.
That strikes me as the most pragmatic, and humane option. For me, the option itself is the most important, and I think it should be available for all.

If, like when my father was dying slowly of cancer, there comes a point when it is clearly no fun any more, I want an option to exit. If I'm still finding life worth living maybe I'll never actually hit the exit button and go quietly in my sleep.
I had this exact same problem and also gave up. It was absurd. The amount of friction in contributing to Debian is enormous.

Tiny amounts of water bounce along the surface of the Moon
Software engineers aren't thugs, you're right that they're often soft-spoken and polite -- but they also do not have a history of respecting tradition and laws they view burdensome.

For example, look at the startups, Uber and AirBnb started by explicitly violating laws. Uber has even demonstrated, again and again, contempt for the law.

Then look at the founder-types: Thiel, Gates, Zuckerberg, Jobs, Ellison, etc... They're often anti-social and on the asperger's spectrum. They disregard convention. Violate laws as need be. And can be ruthlessly individualistic/libertarian. Read Thiel's book "Zero to One" or watch the documentary "all watched over by machines of loving grace" for more on this topic.

Look at the stories and discussions posted on this site -- they're often against the grain. There seems to be a keen interest in drugs: psychedelics, MDMA, Ketamine ("as a treatment for depression"), and nootropics ("productivity!"). The libertarians here relish in cryptocurrencies. And there's a prevailing anti-union, anti-socialist, and even anti-SJW attitude: the population here seems to be bright, if isolated, individualistic and perhaps mildly autistic males.

Paul Graham's essays aren't conventional. And other leaders in this domain, such as Naval Ravikant, rail against the "overton window".

> Why do tech companies flock to California (LA/SF)? I often hear people credit the great technical universities. But that can't be, because most of the actual workers at these companies didn't go to Bay Area or even California universities [1].

2 flaws here:

1. The majority of those h1b workers are at like tcs Wipro and Infosys, not conventional sv companies.

2. Being close to technical universities is good if it gives you a recruiting edge, even if only some of your employees come from that school.
"If the future is infinite, then almost surely it will happen eventually."

Yes, you've caught on to this notion, and that's really the best we can ever do in our present state. Funny how we imagine our little 3 pound mass might someday fathom the secrets of the cosmos. Could a fruit fly trapped in a jet airliner ever comprehend the turbo jet mechanics keeping its carrier aloft?

I would argue that it's fairly safe to conjecture a continued progression of "higher" dimensions beyond time and space; beyond our human imagining. Might as well think of the progression itself as infinite.

From this, entire books could be written about the imagined implications, such as every possible timeline "emanating" from every point in time. Relatively rudimentary approximations of what we can not fully imagine.

So, how does this relate to the afterlife. Well, once it's established that at least everything our puny brains could ever imagine does cosmically exist, then our continuation is certainly included in that. So is choice / free will, simply put. Of course, there would exist many individual continuations and wills, even variations of individuality. It's interesting to consider and one inevitably encounters a thickening cloud of paradoxes, indicating that our mental models are laughably incomplete.
Except it hasn't been working; with few exceptions we still deal with dependency hell / isolation issues in system package managers. Surely if it worked as well as you posit we would have long ago had a Kubernetes built upon apt or yum?
But you can't stop Let's Encrypt from publishing CT records for your internal-only certificates.
Unenforceable non-compete clauses played a non-minor role in the success of CA as a tech-hub.

Buildah gives you access to the workdir for the build so you can do interesting things like copy or rsync your build artifacts into your container. Check out the example here - https://github.com/umohnani8/Demos/blob/commons/security/sec... and use of dnf install to root dir (which could be replaced by debootstrap or equivalent) https://github.com/umohnani8/Demos/blob/commons/security/sec....
It’s the network effects you mentioned. The reason to be here is because people are here.

While that doesn’t seem like something that _has_ to be in California, it is already here and that’s not something you can just move.

As for why other cities have a hard time competing, it’s the same thing. If CA is perceived as “where innovation happens” then people will look for jobs here. They won’t even look at e.g. Kansas City or Charlotte or wherever, even if there are open roles there.

It doesn’t have to be this way and probably won’t be in ten or twenty years. Especially after this wave of IPOs, SF will likely be unlivable for most. If companies can continue to raise enough money to pay equivalently higher salaries, then the boom can continue a while longer. Otherwise, the numbers don’t make sense.
I like existing but I dislike the idea of it continuing indefinitely. Once you accept it will have some limit it might as well be 80 or what have you.

The idea of any afterlife in which my personal identity is still coherent fills me with dread, frankly.
Think of what this means for voter representation. You just made it much easier for people with computer access to vote, compared to those without who still must trek to the polling place. I doubt the demographics represented in this vote were the same as the last comparable one.

I know your comment is a joke but, if drones become a thing for herding then we'll just see less sheep dogs bred. This happened with sheep in the US after WW2. Other fibers had been introduced into the market which reduced wool demand.
Russian here. Few points:

- Root DNS and most of the cloud providers are in US jurisdiction. US declared Russia as top 3 enemy and applies random 'sanctions';
- Russian (and EU) laws require companies to store citizen's personal information locally;
- many lazy developers and service providers relied on AWS/GCP thus breaking the law.

Telegram blocking attempt has shown that even some government resources are hosted outside Russia. In case of severe confrontation escalation US/NATO will cut DNS or will engage in cyberwarfare operations against Russia. So Russian government wants to make sure that Russian infrastructure will continue to function properly.

This is not PRIZM or Great Firewall of China type of system or regulation. There are no plans to cut off internet.

I’m sure the fact the Vancouver housing market is rolling over helps in addition to the occupancy tax.

Vancouver sfh prices are down 20% from peak and even more at the top end homes.

In the past you could take the hit from leaving it empty when you were seeing $100-200k appreciation per year.

Not any more!
Both numbers seem low but the ratio seems plausible. I continue to hear about friends and acquaintances leaving Vancouver for the Bay Area or Seattle because the offers are double what they can get in Vancouver. People being offered $150K CAD base in Vancouver are being offered $250K USD base often with more generous stock based comp.

Overall cost of living in Vancouver (including healthcare) is still quite a bit lower than the Bay Area but there's no doubt most engineers with some experience end up significantly better off financially taking offers in the US.

> This won't ever take off once the media finds that the machine learning is biased towards some specific sex or race (particularly if such demographics are normative historically for the country at large).

I'm not sure I understand. If it is discovered, or "found" (by the media, I guess), that "these systems" are biased, I suppose that should result in them, being fixed, even at the expense of them "tak[ing] off." In your view, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Is it better or worse that "the media" find it? Also, by "normative historically," did you mean "representative?" In other words, do you mean a mathematical norm, as in an average? Or an ethical norm, as in a rule? (Hetero-normative, normative ethics, and so on.) Surely we're not talking about "correct biases?" It's just that my impression is that the language of "normative" in this context, a context which reads as sociological, is most often associated with societal, cultural, or ethical "norms," which are things that are viewed as correct in an "ought" sense.

> Just look at the contentions of prison reform automated systems and the like.

Can you elaborate? Because I think very few of us have looked at these examples. Which "prison reform automated systems and the like" have failed to "take off" due to a discovery of bias by "the media?"

Sorry for all the scare quotes. I'm just trying to piece it together and am having no luck.

Lack of vaccination/etc should be a "pre-existing condition". Otherwise, people who know they will be saved will choose to do stupid things, like https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/09/well/oregon-child-tetanus...

"When the time came for his second round of DTaP, doctors talked with the family about the need for vaccinations. Surviving tetanus, unlike some other diseases, does not offer immunity in the future.

But despite an “extensive review” of the risks, and the benefits of vaccination, the article said, the family declined the second vaccination — or any other recommended immunization."
The disadvantages are:

it’s less secure — you’re trusting (many) third parties with your security and relying on the security of DNS

it’s less flexible — you can’t sign certificates with internal names (e.g., *.cluster.local) and certs must be for 90 days, etc

it’s kind of hacky — you have to work around rate limits and whatnot because Let’s Encrypt wasn’t designed for this use case

The advantage is it’s easier. But that’s arguable. What the article describes isn’t easy. Using something like cfssl (https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl) or vault (https://github.com/hashicorp/vault) or step certificates (https://github.com/smallstep/certificates) (which I work on) is probably easier and definitely better for internal services.
I agree. It sounds esoteric, but if there's any purpose to existence, then there's purpose to the suffering one might go through near the end of life. There's almost certainly a reason nearly all religions consider suicide a grave sin, and I don't think worldly reasons (like the welfare of society) are solely the cause.
11 entire seconds is a life for brain activity. Superslow.
In this case, all your internal servers would have the same cert with the same private key. If one appliance is compromised, every other would be compromised. Not a good idea.
I have a question though. The pictures with the article list the rentals as $1000/room not $1000 for the entire house and the article says that many owners do not want to rent to groups. So this is useless to the single renter. I don't know how the housing activist got his 800 results.
Landlord’s are much more likely to kick money back, but keep the rent the same.

I’ve even seen it in SF lately - sign a 12 month lease and your first month is free.

This is a seriously misleading characterization of the 737 Max. If you read https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/what-is-the-boeing... (the source of the article that 'acqq is selectively quoting) you will learn the following:

> MCAS is “activated without pilot input” and “commands nose down stabilizer to enhance pitch characteristics during step turns with elevated load factors and during flaps up flight at airspeeds approaching stall.

> Since it operates in situations where the aircraft is under relatively high g load and near stall, a pilot should never see the operation of MCAS.

In other words, the aircraft does not need MCAS for stability during flight in anything but exceptional circumstances. Normal flights should never have MCAS active.

This is not remotely similar to the aerodynamics of a fighter jet.

MCAS is a software mechanism designed to prevent stalls in extreme circumstances that can be overridden with the same method used to disable auto trim on previous models of the 737. The A320 has software to prevent phugiod motion in exceptional scenarios, except the A320's mechanism cannot be overridden by the pilot.

I don't care if you choose to never fly on a plane again, but don't spread this misinformed hysteria.
The catch is that attackers can redefine accessor methods globaly, because those are part of the object system, and do run modified on load, but they cannot redefine "while", which is a built-in, one of the few reserved language key words. At least I hope they can't. Of course that does depend on implementation details.

> If they're willing to move from their home to California for work, it's safe to assume they're willing to move from their home to almost anywhere else for work.

Not sure. I moved to the Bay Area from Germany, and while the primary factor was of course the job that was offered to me, the nice weather and the really quite stunning landscape were a factor. I'm still pretty happy if I'm on a hilly street in SF and see the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, all that jazz. And SF itself is still quite a pretty city, despite its problems.
I was visiting downtown San Jose once for WWDC.

In broad daylight at 11a on a Tuesday I saw a hooker shooting up while crossing a crosswalk. It was at this moment I became confident in my decision to avoid moving to the hell hole that is California

It was literally the dirtiest, shitiess, most unpleasant place I have ever been.

California peeked in the 60s, you guys just need to get your heads out of your asses and look around you and see how shitty it is.

Vancouver has extremely tenant friendly rental laws. I’m not as familiar with them when it comes to sfh, but these tenants may not be easy to evict when the owner wants to move back in or sell.
It might be time to reconsider using Java because of the Oracle v. Google lawsuit. Oracle has asserted that Java's APIs are copyright; that issue is the subject of a writ of certiorari currently before the SCOTUS. And some recent versions of Java are no longer free and open source. It is strange when language choices are driven by intellectual property considerations.
I think a lot of C/C++ programmers use text editors such as Vim/Emacs, and might not have code completion support, so the shorter names are easier to type.

Programming lets me foster ideals without reproducing to amount for like a serial sense of beginning and ending. If I make a new function I can put it anywhere and refer to it as I do so I dont have to pretend I can't be Einstein or Euler and get on with just completing the next steps for them. This applies to video games, music, science, dancing, fashion and even, dare I say it, reading, as a way to motivate myself without the need to compile that my mind isn't ready to replace words with meaning if not to let me benefit from it. Rather than confuse myself with programming as coding practices. Its essential now.
I disagree. The person who wrote the bug is in the best position to decide whether the problem was actually fixed.
I think accidents per trip (flight leg) is a more useful metric than accidents per year. If you're interested in mechanical issues then you'd also need to remove terrorism related deaths.

Yes, it's a small sample size, but if you look at the fatal accident rate per flight leg of a 737 MAX 8, I'm sure it's much higher rate than any other modern aircraft.
