Don't even need to cross state lines in this case - there's plenty of wilderness and low-density space in Washington (even Western Washington) where development is a fraction of the cost of building and operating a facility in Seattle. Build in a cheap area and shift the surplus into social services and vocational training to help people get off the treadmill.

Relocation should be behavior based (so not "vagrancy", which is a BS charge, but actual public misconduct or documented threat of self-harm). X strikes and you're relocated unless you can fund an appropriate bond.

The rest of the state is probably a healthier place to heal in any event... easier to control access to drugs and alcohol and limit the violence from street predators. The street isn't a very supportive environment....
If folks in Seattle of all places are expressing concern about whether the government is wisely using public money, maybe someone should listen?

I’m pro high (individual) taxes. But it’s a hard position to support whole watching municipalities piss away money. WMATA recently spent $141 million building a new transit center in Silver Spring, a DC suburb. The gleaming new building is now falling apart and covered in graffiti, less than four years later: https://wjla.com/news/local/silver-spring-transit-center-fil....

This is a $141 million bus station. That’s 25% of the cost of the new light rail networ providing transit to a similar outlying urbanized area of Copenhagen. $650 million for a new light rail system with 27 kilometers of track and 27 stations in Denmark. Versus $141 million for a single bus station in Maryland.

Maybe Americans aren’t crazy to believe that our government (versus government in the abstract), can’t solve problems if given more money?
Dude proposed to steal other people's money to build 14,000 homes for people who would ruin those homes within months. Brilliant idea!

What would that do but attract 50,000 new homeless o the city?

Socialist thinkers....

I'd export them to California. $1,000 in cash and a ticket to Cali for any homeless person who signs they'll never come back.
what about someone making $50 / day? Lets imagine you are making just enough to get by and now government wants to roll out an automatic way to take money from your account for minor infractions. How unhappy would you be?

Also on a side note: "...the fine could be small enough (e.g. $2) to be insignificant for most of us..." -> I once said something like that to someone and he pointed out that statements like that was very hurtful to hear, especially coming from someone who does not understand his financial struggles.
The best approach is to have all directions go red for a moment. Longer yellows encourage gunning it through the intersection. During the ‘90’s San Francisco had an uptick in pedestrians being run down. The all red idea was touted as a zen pause. Nothing came of it then. 20 years later the City has changed the lights, the lights go all red and the walk light goes on first.
I highly advise u choose safe routine, while spend your spare time on side projects. You can always find sparks on HN or Indiehackers websites, or some Internet Marketing related forums.

Do you know PHP and wordpress? I personally have a very big project idea, but only need a very very high level technique involving design a wordpress plugin using PHP, if this can be done, it would be a very good side project and passive. (no need big investment, the plugin is the main goal)

good luck to u and your family.

In the meantime, the progressivist Utopia, having lost most of its middle class is getting more and more dangerous and stabby.
Here's one way to see things – there's around 3.6M software engineers in the US. Google has 100k employees, so let's assume they have 50k engineers. Do you think the top 1% of engineers in the US all work at Google?

Obviously they don't. The truth is, there's no perfect interview process, and chances are you may fail (or succeed) for reasons completely out of your control. You've been studying for a month, and have a degree from a great school – what else can you do to improve your chances? Relax, accept that interviews are a crapshoot and try doing your best.

Worst case you won't get an offer but guess what? Plenty of great engineers got passed by Google or Facebook.

Building a Simple Single Sign On(SSO) Solution from Scratch in Node.js
People really should be aware of this, yes. Even if your client /management absolutely insists on S3 for reputed durability etc., if bandwidth costs are high, you can often get 'free' extensive compute resources by hiring servers elsewhere to proxy and cache S3 access to cut bandwidth bills and run other things next to the largely network bound load.

In general I find the big problem with AWS is that cost is handled 'in reverse': developers often get near free reign, and cost only gets handled when someone balks at the size of the AWS bill. Often it turns out to be trivial to cut by changing instance types or renting a server somewhere to act as a cache. At that point people have often spent tens of thousands in unnecessary fees.

There's an underserved niche for people to do AWS cost optimization on a 'no-win no-fee' basis.

I used to help clients with cutting costs on AWS and if people were in doubt I'd often offer that.

And the savings were often staggering (e.g halving hosting costs was common; once we cut costs 90 percent by moving to Hetzner for a bandwidth intensive app even though long-term
storage remained on S3).

The biggest challenge in serving that niche is getting people to realise they may be throwing money out the window as surprisingly many people still assume AWS is cheap, and offering to do an initial review for free and not charge if I couldn't achieve the promised savings made it a lot easier. Someone who likes the sales side more could make a killing doing that.

Everything you've said is true but I think we don't agree on what a proof of concept is.

I think of it as something that does the main purpose that looks entirely real (so has a domain and is responsive for example) but doesn't actually function. This can definitely be done in a similar amount of time as the XD sketch. Perhaps slightly longer but it'd look more real and therefore would be taken more seriously.

In fact its most important purpose is to save you from building something that does actually function.
I've wanted to build this as a service (for fun). Basically a sight to give advice to yourself from two years in the past. Why two years? It's long enough to have some perspective while retaining enough detail to be useful. The fun bit would be that you would have to contribute your advice before you got advice from people similar to yourself.

It would be a lot of fun to try to get basic demographics out of people giving the advice and try to find out the best way to pair advice given with advice seekers. Age? Some life choice your contemplating? Gender/Orientation/Race who knows what would make advice actually useful!

Probably a terrible idea but it's fun to think about.

I’m assuming you’re still able to start the simulator with any variables, including location/altitude/speed/etc. I always had fun flying around even though I didn’t really know what I was doing. Just start yourself at a good altitude and speed near the thing you want to look at.

I can’t guarantee the flocks of birds you see in the trailer though, unless that’s another variable you can manage these days.
Google and FB aren't like that. The benefit of the uniformly high hiring bar I guess. Don't know about Amazon.

Study replication is good, and fairly rare.
Is there a course or part of a course that focuses, at a library level, on semantic classification. For example, if we had a reference document that had the term "fruit", then if someone entered the string "grape" we would tie it to the the "fruit" section(s) of the reference document.
As a starting value - $7k is ballpark of the average amount spent on an engagement ring. However, of course you can adjust to your own budget.

On your second question - yes - we have good data that the pricing is not efficient. In reasonably large budget ranges there can be a 'great deal' at the cheaper end which is the best buy. There may be bigger diamonds but they will be lower quality. That particular diamond was recently reduced in price and just sold. It will disappear from our rankings shortly.
When everyone feels the pain of a tax, they are all involved.

Any tax that Person A supports but Person B is paying is a predatory tax.

The main reason more citizens don't demand that their government be more efficient is because they aren't paying the bulk of the operating costs.
Yes, but lifetime is still not the best.
> Why isn’t HDR color moving very fast?

My theory on tech adoption is that the advantages of some new piece of tech have to be _immediately_ obvious to the average person and to such a large degree that they would actually care. E.g.:

* Records -> Tapes: smaller, portable.

* Tapes -> CDs: obvious sound quality improvements, never degrades, don't have to rewind/fast-forward.

* CDs -> iPod et al: "you can carry hundreds of CDs in your pocket."

* VHS -> DVD: just say "it does for movies what CDs did for music" and that's all it takes to convince someone of the benefits.

* DVD -> Blu-ray: now it gets a little dicier. Yeah it's an obvious jump in quality but a lot of people just don't care.

* Blu-ray -> UHD (just the resolution aspect): the average consumer isn't the most discriminating in terms of source quality, and even to someone who really cares it can be a bit tough to tell the difference (talking about movie transfers here, in particular). Generally the biggest benefit I've found here when going from Blu-ray to UHD is when the movie's existing Blu-ray transfer is 10+ years old and just terrible. The fact that the studio simply did a new scan is what brings out the improvement, and it would look pretty damn good on Blu-ray (just look at any Blu-ray sourced from a 4K scan).

* SDR -> HDR: "the colors are better, man." Forget trying to sell this to your average consumer, even if they notice they won't care.

4K -> 8K? It's really out there as far as diminishing returns goes. It's not going to be embraced in any meaningful way by the average consumer. It'll be ubiquitous simply because hardware manufactures are eventually going to make nothing but 8K TVs, but the average person probably won't be able to tell it from 4K, perhaps even 1080p.

Your competitive advantage is your staff, not your software. A company like Pixar only has so many proprietary tools because they've been around so damn long that rolling their own was the only way to go to get the results they wanted.

Even then, Pixar's advantage was the people they hired and allowed to thrive... not Renderman.
Point is that we can't really rely on these tools at all, especially because there are already false positives and any rate of false positives makes the tools essentially worthless.

"However scary it may seem, switch to emacs, evil mode is good enough."

"There's this thing called lisp, you should check it out."

Amusingly my younger self did actually get this advice (thanks Randall [0]), but I did not know what to do with it at the time, other than to file it away for exploration in the future. Only over a decade later when I finally had enough context could I actually take action on that advice.

This is one of the reasons why I find general advice to be useless in many cases. "You should do X" or "You should not do X" are practically useless, and often the person already knows that they should or should not do something, but they have no idea how to get from where they are to that imagined future. If all you can give is advice, the best you can do is try to give advice about the very next step so that someone can actually act on it. "Check out lisp" should be, "go install this package, and read this book," or "here's a professor you should take a course from." When I have gotten advice in the form of "take a course from this person," it has always proved to be invaluable because the first step was stupidly simple, and the rest of the journey had a guide who had walk that way before.

Not sure why the downvotes, this is in fact how it works and why ZFS doesn't need ECC Ram. It doesn't matter how much corruption you experience it always comes down to does the checksum of the block of data read from disk match the checksum stored when that block was written. If either mismatch, then the block is rebuilt from parity drives. If you're going to downvote, at least say why.

The author is a self-described "Android Engineer", so I doubt the claimed authenticity of switching to iOS for anything more than wanting to write a list of complaints. I've seen far more pressing arguments made against iOS.

The first point appears completely fabricated as, simply put, the iPhone has sensors that would've disabled the screen in his pocket. The second point was immediately contradicted, and one of the later points raised was, "Alarm Clock doesn’t work when the iPhone is off" - really clutching at straws when you consider what it means to power a mobile device completely off. Most of the remaining points made are so vague it leaves a lot to be answered as to the use case (e.g. maxing out the screen brightness). Finally, there's poor grammar sprinkled throughout.
AFAICT, there's not much definitive research that shows the harms of cannabis consumption. I'm aware of the research that clearly counterindicates usage by teenagers and young adults due to continued brain development issues, but is there evidence that cannabis consumption is unhealthy otherwise?

I think "runway" (i.e. your personal savings) is a terrible idea that should be debunked and dropped by the entrepreneurial community.

You don't have runway - you have the savings to buy a house, or form the foundation for the next stage of your life.

If you build your business whilst you have a source of income then you have infinite runway - you can keep trying until your dying day or you give up.

It's only after you've tried to build your social network for dogs and failed that you look back and say "wow, that $120,000 was actually ALOT of money - it's going to take me years to make that again". AND now you don't have money to build your next great idea - Uber for petwalking.

Using your savings as "runway" is just gambling with unlikely odds.

Any "runway" that can keep you going for a year in a modern western city is ALOT of money - you're really undervaluing that money if you use it just to live whilst creating a business. And you're also assuming that you're going to be able to make that same amount of money just as easily another time - that may or may not be true at all.

Their main requirement was and is SIGINT. That drives about all their budget and power. Their secondary requirement was to protect the government and/or military (not sure) with communications security (COMSEC). They may have expanded that to computer security. They were also supposed to protect defense contractors since they were an extension of the military. That's why their most secure stuff is unavailable to average American but defense companies can buy it. Also, the penalties for failing to stop the next 9/11 are astounding compared to failing to prevent... (checks today's articles)... a Fortune 500 company from leaking 264GB in client, payment data.

So, they deny us good stuff and weaken what we have wherever possible in general case. Some tiny number of them in Information Assurance give us tools and guides to help us. NSA can't be trusted to protect us. I do think the people in IA who gave us the best tools should be hired by the organization that will protect us. :)

it breaks down the income into broad buckets
Luckily I'm from a country where university is still reasonably affordable .. in fact, since I left, they've made it so fees are government-funded for the first few years. Even though I did have a student loan, it was at least interest-free.

I think university education should be seen as an extension of all earlier education. If you start thinking in terms of "is this financially a good idea", you'll start wondering if people should be leaving school at 14 or something, because they're basically able to work at that age .. right?

Personally, I think the time I had at university was massively useful to my educational development. Even though a lot of what I learnt during that time I consider to be "self-taught", the university environment seemed much more conducive to self learning than the working environment, where you do what your company wants for 8 hours a day then spend the rest of the day trying to defocus.

Just like primary and secondary education, it seems insane to me to just think about tertiary education as some concrete monetary investment. If you give everyone the opportunity to spend a short amount of time (like 3 or 4 years, out of a career period of 45 years) focusing on a particular field of their choosing, surely there must be a massive benefit there to society.

Edit: Also, it should probably be pointed out that a lot of research that happens at universities is used in industry, so if the university system continues to be undermined, you can expect these gains to be lost. We're probably mostly programmers, right? Try pointing to a significant feature of any programming language (old or new) that isn't taken straight from academia.
