They hardly burn any fuel when they are waiting in the lane. The real consumption occurs when they get airborne.

Yup. Previous incarnation of a VW Golf had an engine compartment that fit together, and you could replace the headlight bulb in about 20 minutes with common tools. Current one has an engine compartment that fits together, and you can't replace the very same bulb unless you take half of the damn thing apart, and then you hit a snag, because the very last screw is unaccessible unless you're a nanobot, has a special nut, and some sort of seal guarding it. I suppose it does make sense if you have the whole workshop at your disposal and can disassemble and reassemble entire vehicles at will.
New Zealand has a senior government position non-ironically named "Chief Censor." They don't even pretend to have free speech, and certainly don't get to lecture anyone on moral bankruptcy.

I live in Germany, which is said to have one of the most complicated tax systems known to man. If I had one (realistic) wish for a German government, it would be to do it like Finland.

Sadly there is a whole branch of people working on this, without any interest to make it easier..
ah, my note was that i'd love something as low as the 300ms that math seems to think we'd have, and the 25ms that LEO should provide - that's where my skepticism lies.

as for whether an LEO solution will occur for rural americans? the monetary math for that doesn't make much more sense to me, but lots of things get deployed that don't make monetary sense so that's at least possible.
Dude, this is not about applets. This is about the Java Updater possibly updating to a version requiring a commercial license. It may be that the updater does not do this by default, but I've not yet seen any official statement about this.
Good article. I like that it's been written in the frantic style of someone who's just discovered the dark patterns inherent in the Internet sharecropping industry.

Well, to start, you have to close loopholes which allow corporations to dodge taxes to even be able to collect taxes to begin with. I'm not sure where you're drawing the line between regulation and taxation; they go hand-in-hand.

I don't have enough context to say what's the best regulation to end homelessness in SF, as I have lived more in NYC area and am more familiar with NYC-specific problems than SF, but some ideas:

1. Require builders to build a certain percentage of low-income housing for every unit of high-income housing they build.

2. Require property owners to fill properties in a certain timeframe, rather than leaving properties empty waiting for a high-paying tenant, or simply keeping them as an investment.

3. Higher minimum wage so people at the bottom can afford housing.

4. Require a smaller pay gap between highest-paid and lowest-paid employees of a company (this addresses the corporate threat that if they are forced to pay higher minimum wages, they'll just raise their prices--the money for minimum salaries comes out of CEO's salaries instead of inflation).

It’s nice for two reasons:

* I get an independent confirmation that money has actually left my account (eg we’ve all shopped on websites when the payment pages crash and you don’t know if something has gone through or not)

* it’s comforting knowing that if for some reason someone else was illegally using your card, you’d be getting instant push notifications about it.

I am also annoyed by Python 2 vs Python 3 situation, however not because of the current incompatibility but about the potential Python 3 vs Python 4 incompatibility that the Python developers have shown to not care about introducing in the future.

If they promise to never break backward compatibility again in the future i might change my stance though, i mostly try to avoid Python than anything than a simple calculator or quick and dirty scripts because i do not want to write any code that may break in 2-3 years without me doing anything wrong.
I think we're in agreement; I view anti-lobbying regulation as a form of regulation. :)

What's curious: this stat actually fails to represent quite how many parents from more normal surroudning communities bring their kids into SF because of the co-op school opportunities there. SF has done a lot of work to make co-op schools work, so lots of people with kids under 9 (myself included) find outright superior education options by bringing our kids into SF. It does involve putting parent hours towards the school, but many people with young kids are already geared for less raw hours towards work (either through superior economic resources or local support; everyone who can't hack it relies purely on the public systems).
What are tributes on a memorialized Facebook profile?
I never heard of that until much latter. There wasn't a dominate computer platform: as a kid I knew people with Apple II, C64, Atari, or TI. They were not compatible in general, so it doesn't really make sense to air such things. Even assuming the recording would work, my memory of cassette systems is they rarely worked. I typically saved everything to 3 different tapes to have a hope of reading back correctly eventually.
I believe the 3D rotation of objects differences between men and women has been known for quite a long time now, so I’m not sure what this is adding really. Also men are physically stronger than women, but women can lift weights and become stronger too, so not surprisingly practice can eventually trump nature which has been known for melenia too.

I think this obsession with trying to find that everything and everyone is equal has also been written about since Aristotle’s time and cautioned against since it eventually leads to demigods and tyranny according to the Greeks since eventually no one can stand any restraint including ones you need to aheader to due to them being true. This equality discussion isn’t a marvel of the 20st century, it dates back even before the Greeks and has continued to this day.

I completely agree with her. Some of the worst racism I experienced was passive aggressive type on the west coast. It made me leave my job and move back to the east coast.

Some of the best racism I received was in your face “sand n-word” type — it was easier to digest and joke about after the fact.
I loved seeing those ads in vintage Archie comics ('60s-'80s editions). Those ads wouldn't bother including a photo, but usually had a nicely drawn artist's rendering. That to me spelled a certain kind of commitment to the scam. Today, all they'd have to do is select the right demographic on FB ads (usually people who "also express interest in" IQ pills or some other snake oil), and click a button to put the text-only ad live.

Maybe add a bad Photoshop image if you're feeling creative.
I have to wonder... Do all the southern racists hide it less... Or are there so many blatant racists that the coy ones are a lot harder to detect?

I'm sure there are plenty of racists everywhere, but I do find it hard to believe that there aren't more percentage-wise in the south.

How many of those were from post-industrial societies in a stable developed nation with a population of nearly a million people supporting a metro area of nearly 10 million people?

Because what I'm seeing on that list is ghost towns, nomadic civilizations, or a complete civilization collapse. What I don't see is a city the size of San Fransisco in a civilization as powerful as the United States of America completely collapsing and disappearing from the face of the planet like Ur or Babylon.
Thank you for that nostalgia trip!

Computer Battlegames and Computer Spacegames were much loved in my youth. I wish I had seen some of the other books in the programming series from Usborne.

I remember my dad being super frustrated with me when I was very young. He was on such a different level (chip/board designer) that everything was so effortless to him, and he had serious trouble relating to anyone "beneath" him. It only got worse when he left when I was about 9. I always had trouble self-motivating, and it would hurt like hell when he'd show up out of the blue and express disappointment that I wasn't writing assembly yet or building my own circuits.

But the Usborne stuff, and the spectrum/vic20 games I played around that time, are treasured memories. Thank you for reminding me :)

The question is valid, but the numbers do not add up. TT asks ~$50 for federal return. If everyone in US used the service, the cost would amount to over 16 billion dollars. That is more than the entire IRS budget[1] right now.

The website is very unclear. What sort of data? Who would be cleaning the data? What type of data cleaning? What types of payment? How is access to the data controlled? How is the data cleaned? Are extra data views to help data cleaning provided by the site? How are bandwidth concerns addressed? What does user karma signify? etc etc.
I spent a few days in NYC recently and I could not believe how clean the city was compared to SF. The difference, at least where I explored, was amazing.
I lived in Houston and the surrounding areas for a good long time. (Three of four hurricanes.) I would argue that what you left out is the fact that Eastern Texas has a more evenly distributed racial makeup than places like the Bay Area. Yes, maybe they have some hispanics and blacks in the Bay Area, but it's not quite like a place like Harris county for instance where you literally could have an even mix of all three. Along with a large foreign contingent of arabs, asians, and africans. (I would even bet that Harris county along with a surprising amount of eastern texas is actually majority minority. I'm not sure, but it sure seems like it.)

At any rate, if you tried to do business the way they do it elsewhere as a retailer or restaurant, you'd go under. There is just not the population numbers that would allow you to do that. This is not to say you don't have areas that make the San Fran model work. (Just visit Rice Village if you want a sort of "authentic white/asian elitist experience".) But most businesses are going to need to be open to serving everyone. Because like I said, it really did seem like most of the people, at least in Houston area, were either hispanic or black.

(I'll admit that my view of Houston was coming from the perspective of a small town Wisconsin farm boy type. So it's entirely possible that Houston is not majority minority. But it really did seem like it to me.)

EDIT:

Just looked it up. Harris county, and a lot of east texas is, indeed, majority minority. It's about 60% black and hispanic. It's about 31% white. So, yeah, it wasn't just my imagination or my upbringing.

Thanks -- yes, I hope people read the comments on my post (OP) and leave their own experiences in the comments. The purpose of my call for advice was to turn that post into a go-to for people searching the web with capacitor concerns. (The entire blog is a retro computing blog, up since 2004.)

Some GREAT comments came with yesterday's exposure. Great to see.
Please correct me, if I'm wrong. When a non-tech person buys a vpn subscription, she may be provided with a tunneling software, but the key exchange is still happening in the browser. If the site shows a green lock, you can trust the connection to be encrypted, to the extent you trust Mozilla.

Also, many vpn providers let you use open source software, like OpenVPN.

Opera, however, can ship an installer with a statically linked mock ssh lib, that's always showing a green lock. It's a much more sinister threat model.
How exactly does this kind of snark help change opinion? Open Source is wonderful. I’m not a developer, but I use it and contribute in ways that I can. These sorts of replies fill me with rage! Replies like this categorically do not help further the cause. The GP of the whole thread has a point; whose ethics?

The post is about a website declaring that some software is more “ethical” than others. They offer no real criterion as to what constitutes “ethical”. The burden of proof lies with the publishers and those that fully support the notion. “Go away” neither helps or positively affects others views.

I lived there ten years ago, too. You’re remembering selectively.

Yes, the Mission has gentrified and mid-market is a bit cleaner. But now there are widespread homeless camps, and open defecation and needles (formerly isolated to certain neighborhoods) are everywhere. And it’s not as if the Mission crime has gone away - it’s just further south now.

Property crime is up; even in SOMA, broken car windows were an occasional thing. Now it’s every day. Twin Peaks overlook is a robbery hotspot, and some guy was shot and killed for a camera up there not too long ago.

If you only ever visit the gentrified tech zones of SF, you’d be excused for thinking things have improved, but there’s no way to argue about it objectively.
I just have a tiny comment: you seem to have quite a few console logs left in the code (for debugging reasosns perhaps?), but it would look nicer if you could remove them. :)
This highlights the difficulty of sharing secrets with your production code. How can you get secrets into production in a secure way?

Cloud providers have proprietary solutions, but those don't work on other providers (or your local dev env).

Rolling your own secrets server seems like an expensive centralized disaster waiting to happen.

It seems like putting a secret into source code is one of the least risky options. Just make sure it's not in a public git repo.
Here is a link to a primer written by the community: https://github.com/BSVino/JaiPrimer/blob/master/JaiPrimer.md

Right now, the only way to actually see the language in action is to tune in to Jonathan's livestreams on Twitch. He is writing his next game entirely in Jai. He also streams compiler development every now and then (last night was a compiler stream).
Your last sentence is perfect. Get rich and get out. Probably the front and center thought of every tech worker.
First, adding a host of third party’s increases the risk of data breaches for minimal benifit.

Anyway, the government needs to collect and verify all information anyway. So, the sum total of TurboTaxes value is creating screens to collect information. If they can do a better job than the government then let them charge for it. But, by banning the free option they are saying they don’t actually create value.
I concluded the same as caymanjim. I’m a firm believer in “Your spare time is only worth money if you’d otherwise be making money.” I’m not paid hourly, so the opportunity cost of my spare time is $0, and like many tech companies, mine forbids freelancing/moonlighting. The math works out to favor DIY in my case but it’s obviously not for everyone.

If I had a job where more hours directly translated into more money, 1. I would drop DIY projects and 2. I would probably become a workaholic.

> Oracle now provides the JDK under a 100% free and open source license

Such altruism; Can they do this for the TCK? Why not? Maybe all of Graal then? That seems to be where many of the dev efforts went after some staff for those now-free, previously-closed components were either repurposed or let go. I don't mind a company trying to make money (granted, not a fan of doing it on the language itself), but we shouldn't pretend they are selfless by treating actions that other languages had long since done as special.
There are numerous factors in play, and I don't think you can conclude that regulation is the only factor in play here. Texas is dealing with a much greater supply/demand ratio of a key resource: land. Given a wealth of resources, nearly any system would work--that doesn't mean the system is better.

Yeah, I'd hate for SF to be a world class city.
It's still impossible to measure if you are getting into semantics here. How much energy does it take to keep the coinbase servers running? How much energy does it take to keep the coinbase IT people's houses heated? How much energy does it take to keep the lights on in the coinbase office? That's also impossible to track if you wanted to jump down the B.S. rabbit hole.

Your entire moderation policy is based around precisely what I claimed, as you yourself stated: the arbitrary application of increased standards for comments which disrupt groupthink, or to use a euphemism, are “divisive”.
IIRC bands that you track are in bold on an events page. No predictions on who you should see though, that's probably out of their wheelhouse. I do think they have some kind of API acces to ticketing sites though because more than once the emails I get had working links to artist presale that I could use. Another app that I use is Dice. Not sure what the avaibility is outside of the UK but I have got (relevant) suggested events based on other tickets I bought from them.
