> you're spiting your own [preferences] in favor of voters elsewhere

I think that's a beautiful way to describe democracy, though I know you didn't quite intend it that way.

You're right that these proposals seem to run against everything game theory and rational voter models would suggest. But I think there's a way to couch this in terms of rational preferences, if you extend this beyond any one particular race.

The setup:

The fear is that in future elections, most of your state citizens might vote for the "popular" but not "electoral" winner. Flipping this would come at some other state's expense.

Moreover, in every future contest with an electoral and popular vote split, the new system flips every state either from "winner" to "loser" or vice versa.

You are essentially trading away all future elections where your state would back the unpopular electoral winner, and gaining all the future elections where your state would back the popular candidate with a bad map.

That's not an even trade.

Popular winners have more political capital. They can get more done than contentious winners.

So swapping out all of your unpopular winners for popular winners in other elections nets your electorate more of its preferred policies in the long run.

Slight tangent --

Former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo recently explained why Mexico agreed to international dispute resolution, even though that constrained its government. Zedillo said, roughly, "We wanted to be part of a rules-based system because it works both ways. If you don't want to be subject to arbitrary actions, then you have to give assurances that you won't impose arbitrary actions on others."

I know that's a really rough analogy, but this discussion reminded me of it, and I like the quote.

Setup around ~9'50"

EDIT: Some key assumptions required to make this work- a) your state is about equally or more likely to support unpopular electoral winners as it is to support popular losers, b) passing policies you support is better than avoiding policies you oppose.

Those are pretty fragile assumptions, but they wouldn't be crazy to entertain for some fair chunk of the electorate.

I suspect the more likely explanation is just that people think a national popular vote is more "fair" and aren't really methodically calculating self-interest in these contests, rational voter models be damned.
It is an important question, but Google services which are largely consumer-based and no cost are a very different world from Google Cloud. People get a lot of Internet Cool Guy points these days from falsely conflating the two.

I'm not the to make commitments but our history has been solid, and our deprecation policy is embedded in our terms of service for every Cloud user.

The only product I can remember us deprecating in GCP was Prediction API in favor of the much-preferred Cloud Machine Learning Engine, and with that came communication to every single affected admin and a _year_ before cut-off.

1) Import/export syntax hell. This project is 148 Javascript files, 12k LOC. Everything runs in both Node and Browser environments. Without TypeScript I just use CommonJS syntax and rewrite the scripts on the fly via a server-side pass through for a browser environment. But because of the module hell (import/export/script modules/relative vs absolute paths/defaults) I couldn't find a good formula for write once, run everywhere for this large project. I needed to be outputting 2 different builds to 2 different places which led to all kinds of path problems. This is very much unique to this project though, which has unique runtime require requirements.

2) Compile time overhead when iterating. For many visual development tasks it just takes too long to change something, compile and see results in the browser. Without TS it's 0 latency. With TS it was a few seconds. Without TS I could make 10 changes with 2 seconds latency, and perhaps I make 1 type mistake costing me 20 seconds of debug time, for a total of 40 seconds. With TS I make 10 changes with 5 seconds latency and zero mistakes but now total overhead if 50 seconds. I want to be able to get the documentation and static type checking benefits without giving up that instant feedback.

That's all fair enough. I think the root of the complaint is that the influencers that people find objectionable just aren't very good at influencing, however that may be defined. Nobody appreciates blatant, yet poorly executed, attempts at marketing.
Great post! The number of subscriptions that Stripe sends out is really overwhelming at first, and especially the order they can be received in. I ended up coming to the same conclusion that you did, and only end up listening to the invoice payment succeeded and invoice payment failed webhooks.

Doing so greatly simplified the process, rather than listening for customer or subscription updates and changes.

Great to read others are taking a similar approach!
No, I’m not referring to Apple’s profits but that is a good gauge of what people find valuable enough to spend money on.

If Apple’s “walled garden” is holding back innovation, there should be a lot of innovative, successful third party products that are available for Android that aren’t available for iOS.

Those are the only two platforms we can compare right now when it comes to the “open” vs “closed” debate.
Just so everyone knows what you smoked:

> 1. Obtain 15 lb. of ripe yellow bananas. 2. Peel the bananas and eat the fruit. Save the skins. 3. With a sharp knife, scrape off the insides of the skins and save the scraped material. 4. Put all scraped material in a large pot and add water. Boil for three to four hours until it has attained a solid paste consistency. 5. Spread this paste on cookie sheets and dry it in an oven for about 20-30 minutes. This will result in a fine black powder (bananadine). Usually one will feel the effects of bananadine after smoking three or four cigarettes.

Sure. But this one little service inside GCP? Tiny.

That’s the crazy thing about the US system. For a lot of people things work smoothly like it did for you. Then you have a significant number of other people who get totally screwed with out of network stuff, billing errors and the insurance declining payment for random things. These people now have to have to negotiate often for years, fight collection agencies and often end up owing thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. It’s a big gamble and there is pretty much nothing you can do to protect yourself.
Google Cloud? Which two?
Right, I can do a lot of things with Linux with enough effort. But for a desktop OS I want things to just work. Pretty much any major distro that's supposed to just work is going to be systemd at this point.

And, sure, MacOS is unix-ish but Apple is ripping more and more of the old NextStep and BSDish things in favor of their own stuff with each version. As long as it just works I'm pretty happy. There are, however, lots of little quirks and gaps with their POSIX layer which is why I'd hesitate to call it a proper UNIX.

Also, you can run Linux on your Mac.

Which would be great if I wanted Linux. I don't. MacOS is working just fine for me.
Is the pricing based on trades per year or trades total among years?
You can’t just “get a thinkpad or something.” The latest X1 Carbon, for example, requires quite a bit of massaging to work with Linux. (Though that’s more a fault of PC makers than Linux. Because the PC market is so price sensitive, the BOM is constantly changing. So just because one generation of a laptop works well with Linux doesn’t mean the next generation will.)

Regardless of how bad or good the 737 MAX was conceived, none of that matters because of regulatory capture of the FAA by way of millions of dollars of bribes paid to hundreds in Congress. Ever since the 737 NG, as the 2010 Al Jazeera report shows, Boeing has been installing substandard structural components and covering it up. No one should ever fly on an 737 NG or MAX aircraft because the regulatory environment was too weak, and so these aircraft are systematically-subpar. Defective structural parts and lax standards cannot be fixed with software upgrade. They're irreparably unsafe. Refusing to fly on them is the main logical act a passenger can undertake, and join Flyers' Rights http://flyersrights.org/

Hooks are a popular approach for implementing notification callbacks for long running requests over HTTP.

Bidirectional streaming is irrelevant here, the question is what's so limiting about using HTTP for this use-case? (i.e. by far the most popular protocol used for invoking remote service requests).
As a software engineer, a part of me dreads that day, as this may be the beginning of the end of our profession as it is. But then when I think of it, the AI that can accomplish this will be trained using existing code as a learning sample, and not just static code, it will learn by looking at commits and how code evolves over time, so it is bound to also learn to write bugs, change its mind on design, refactor things that need not refactoring, do premature optimization, rewrite it all in go/rust/the newest cool language on the block, then get stuck because all of its questions got closed as non constructive on stackoverflow, So maybe we'll still have a job after all.
But the post says "all software." Surely that implies that macOS won't let unnotarized software run?

Oh, I am well aware of the costs involved. Hence why I stated they likely only ran the cable to fulfill a regulatory check box and appeared to have done it as cheap as possible where you could see dozens of yards of cable exposed in a ditch, or even exposed to vehicles driving over it. But that's also why Congress has passed acts to compel providers to provide service.

Hell, I currently live in an affluent Chicago suburb, and I have exposed wires from both Comcast and AT&T just inches from the sidewalk out my back door. My dog literally takes dumps on the internet/TV cables to the townhouses I live in.

Haven't had AT&T service since they sold AT&T BI to comcast, but Comcast has the balls to tell me when I complain about an outage I should upgrade to business class if I want fewer outages (lower speeds, more money, supposedly service guarantees).
Mis-issued certs are common enough that Google et al had to force Symantec out of the cert issuing business. It's a model that only works with a monopolistic cartel gatekeeping the ability to issue certs (which is basically Apple's role in this scenario).
Am I reading pricing right, that it is $0.40/million requests beyond free quota versus $3.50/million (first 333 million) on AWS API Gateway? One thing that always killed AWS Lambda/APIG for our use cases was the API Gateway request pricing. This seems much better.

I love that you can just run Docker containers. My one wish is the option to run on multiple regions at once with Anycast or similar.

I haven't tested yet to see what extra latency or cold start times this may have. That is the other thing that bothers me about Lambda.
Whenever I read something like this, I am reminded of several friends of mine who are physicians, and how a couple of them seemed to undergo personality changes during or after med school and residency.

After residency, they seemed to have lost an important part of their humanity - namely compassion and a desire to help people. It was replaced an air of superiority and contempt for others, tinged with cynicism and a joyless gallows humor.

I'm not sure how common this is, or how my other physician friends managed to avoid it, but it was a disturbing and obvious change that bothers me to this day.

(Though now I think about it one thing some of them had in common was wisely quitting general surgery residencies because of the massive and unprofessional mistreatment of residents as well as rampant sexism.)

They used to but it's dwindling. A friend of mine is a dentist and he said when he first graduated from dental school some 15 years ago, his father and his practice dealt directly with the patient and had a list of all of their prices on their website and in their office. As customers increasingly wanted to have their insurance cover dental they had fewer and fewer people paying out of pocket and going through insurance. So prices went up due to increased complexity of the business.

>- - Women care less about physical attractiveness - Women are less interested in hookups and enjoy them less - Women are more interested in romantic and emotional connections and long-term relationships

Not young women these days. Even "ugly" women detest being approached by men in their looks range. Now, these women are setting themselves up for long-term consequences too. Sure, a bored attractive guy might fuck them (he surely won't actually date them except maybe a going-through-the-motions coffee before asking her to go fuck) once in a while but they'll never get into a good relationship and when they hit 30 they will be miserable as fuck.
You can disable secure boot on most modern machines, install Linux, create a cert and sign Grub or your EFI stub kernel, add that cert to your UEFI (delete the stock ones) and then you have a machine that can boot Linux and not Windows.

Of course the major distros like Ubuntu can boot with the default secure boot keys.

I have a feeling x86 manufactures would face considerable backlash if they tried to lock down SecureBoot in a manner where it's impossible to disable. (and yes, I do know there are some Microsoft devices that are already setup this way, but the majority of manufactures do allow control over SecureBoot). Then again we have Intel ME on all our machines and that's somehow still okay, so maybe you're right.
My taxes pay for the doctor's time, the nurse's time, the receptionist's time, etc. And that is entirely fair. It does not pay for clerical workers in different companies to be sending paperwork back and forth to satisfy some systematically complicated pricing structure, because such a thing does not exist. And it certainly does not pay the salary for the CEO of CollectiveHealth or whatever your provider is.

> The fact that you would go without thought of the cost but in a similar situation would avoid because of the direct costs shows why the Ontario system is a poor model

The pricing is hidden from me regardless, except that in one case people get the care they need and go on with their lives, and in the other I hear stories of people getting a surprise 4-digit bill in the mail three weeks later, after already paying through the nose for insurance.

When you look at international rankings of standard of living, the Ontario system is considered a good model (along with other similar healthcare systems such as those in nordic countries). The US model is poorer on several fronts, from pricing opaqueness to availability for low income people, and let's not even go into medical bankruptcies...
Thanks for the information. I am on my seventh "just get a thinkpad" running Linux now, but I haven't tried the consumer models.
Work hours could also be a factor. I’m quite sure US doctors work more than European doctors.
I'm not sure I agree here.

There exist possibilities for far more safety with more compute.

For example, when a mechanical failure occurs (for example an engine explodes and partially falls off) the flight characteristics of the plane change dramatically. Current systems fall back to human control, and hope that human will be able to figure out how to control a now very "unique" machine.

Future systems could dynamically create new flight models based on collected data to be able to fly the machine in entirely new ways.

For an example of this, did you know it's possible to fully control a quadcopter even with 3 out of 4 rotors broken and no working fins/flaps? [1]. That sort of 'fly it how it has never been done before' is out of reach of human control, and might save lives.

As someone who works in Data Engineering, I'm a big fan of cloud-based docker containers with services like AWS Fargate/Google Run. It allows us to be able to pay for resource use rather than provisioning. For the longest time I had to justify the additional cost and constant maintenance of an n-th server just to accommodate for capacity at peak hours. Anecdotally, most of our batch jobs don't need high availability, so the startup time of a server-less docker is an acceptable trade-off to parallelism.
Azure Functions also supports running custom containers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/funct...

There are no federal level universal service mandates for broadband. In any event, mandates aren’t free money. Consumers end up paying for it, the cost is just hidden and unaccountable. The mandate obscures the political question of: should we give a $5,000+ subsidy to people out of other peoples’ pockets, or are there are needier people who are more deserving?
