And whose tax money will be looking after you in your old age, when you have no family of your own to take care of you? The children of those ‘unethical’ people you tediously condescend so proudly up on your high horse.

No, that's just you.
... and the principal of charity suggest that, instead of automatically engaging outrage mode, you should try to interpret it in the most charitable way possible.

Sure, there are certainly some women who say things like this who are also misandrists, but the majority of them are not, and just want to call out the men who are actually a problem. If you're not a problem, then you're not being called out. That's been my experience. Either you've somehow managed to speak only to the most cynical and hateful of feminists, or -- more likely -- you're getting defensive over something for no good reason.

The ironic bit is that you're falling into the same trap: you're accusing "every" feminist of believing that all men are evil, based on your interactions with a few.
I visited portland recently and was pretty blown away that I could take a train from the departures to my hotel in 20 mins or so, while the city was otherwise choked in rush hour traffic. Transit is always going to loose money, but that's OK. Even for a small city, a good transit network has huge benefits for the environment and just enjoying the city, being able to get around quickly and cheaply.
Sure, but I think peoples' definition or image of self-centeredness has been obscured by societal norms. At least here in the US, it feels like one of our cultural hallmarks is the ideal of the "self made individual". If it is normalized to see oneself as apart from others, it becomes very difficult indeed to sacrifice anything for another person (and news flash, that's a big part of familial relationships).
Watch the Palm Pre reveal, which is still one of the best tech keynotes ever
That's a hard question. Some days I don't have an answer.
Not really - since the bare metal provisioning tends only to be large, expensive instance types. The benefit of secure OS-level virtualisation is that you can co-locate the smaller workloads of multiple tenants on the same bare metal, while not incurring the overhead of hardware virtualisation.

When you compared the utility of JCP "tiny" instance (1 CPU worth of shares, 256MB of RAM) to a t2.micro or similar instance in AWS, the difference was astounding. Part of this is the CPU credit mechanism on T2 instances, but I'd wager that a good part of it was being in OS-level virtualisation.
Safari on 32 bit iPads. I don't care about them for what I am doing.

Can you tell me of any other hold ups? I am not familiar with Apple phones or Android phones stuck on legacy browsers. Is there anything I need to know?

I am okay with not supporting IE.
Won't work. The reason multiplayer games work over the internet is game engines compensate for latency by prediction. But when I move my mouse I don't want to wait a third of a second for the view to change. The problem with Google is they test everything on local 10G networks with near zero latency and the servers are walking distance away. Then they produce these abortions of products that are killed off 2 years later.

Yeah basic input lag is about as enticing as a 2KG chunk of a plastic helmet strapped to my head.

I bet in 10 years time we will still be playing on a PC with a GPU and a monitor on the desk.
After reading that I think maybe a reward system would work better than a penalty?

Might encourage people w/ jobs who can't get to the polls to go and vote, but doesn't put unnecessary drain on their life.

They also should make voting day a national holiday, and give a tax deduction to companies who allow their employees to take as much time as they need to vote (given some lines can be hours long in places).

Edit: My comment is directed to the U.S.A. as that's where I'm from.
In our case, because it was easy to get thousands of dollars of free credit in Google cloud (the same appeared to be true for AWS). This went up to tens of thousands for Series A.

We had zero serving costs and would have continued to do so for years.

It makes perfect sense for Google/Amazon to incentivise startups to design themselves for their cloud.
Cold weather performance is an issue for the folks who replace their motorcycle battery with a lithium ion aftermarket upgrade. https://advrider.com/f/threads/lithium-ion-batteries-in-cold...
From knowing several in that case, they do feel having missed out on something.
Strange, I always thought the epidemic of loneliness in post-industrial countries was attributable to alienation from culture and community, because we'd replaced self-sufficiently interesting forms of life with meaningless jobs in equally meaningless service stores built in meaningless communities by faceless multinational conglomerates, sold with lifestyle ads bundled with meaningless mass entertainment to people lacking a cultural immune response to the siren song of shallow mass culture.

The nuclear suburban household is a manifestation of the soulless, profit-driven mass culture that we've been actively fleeing from ever since we woke up to find ourselves isolated amongst our acquaintances. Every generation in the West since the 1950s has engaged in a desperate scramble to find meaning and connection, because, spoilers, there's something hauntingly awful about eating microwave dinners in front of the television with your family after working 10 hours doing supply chain managment for WhateverCo. with a spouse with whom you never learned to communicate with and children whose only job is to stay on the rails and not get any strange ideas about life.

I don't even think that loneliness is intrinsically a bad thing. Pain is a signal that forces you to adapt.
For one, you don't provide any evidence to back up your claims. Your comment just imparts the impression of bitterness and frustration because it's a commonly repeated theme in the incel community. If that's the place where it's coming from please get some help instead of letting those toxic feelings fester.
People with families spend more money on commodities. People without spend more on luxury goods which have higher margins.
Yeah I was literally doing some research on an electric unicycle that I probably won't use too often.
> and not all extensions must be infinite

any examples?
That’s my impression as well. I use Airtable, as well as Notion, personally in a single user environment and could see countless use cases for our team at work, but Airtable is simply too expensive and even in its highest tier the number of allowed records per base seems limited, or “increased” according to their pricing table.
That's not everyone's "fit in" group though.

It's like saying attend local evangelical church. The people you meet will be potential friends for some types of people. For other types, not so much.
I am pretty sure it is not aerogel. The material has to be transparent for neutrons, lightweight, and immediately vaporizable to create radiation and/or ablation pressure. Styrofoam fits the bill; usual aerogels do not.

From what I know about the Stockpile Stewardship program, they had difficulties in recreating the exact composition (including impurities) of many weapon components, probably including the interstage — because the only way to make sure that new weapons and their replacement parts will work without tests (which are now banned) is to recreate everything to the smallest detail. So the problem is not manufacturing some exotic material, but recreating the exact composition and impurities.
Docker killed the value proposition. "Worse is better". FreeBSD's jails and illumos's zones have always been far, far superior technically, providing actual kernel encapsulation and coherent administration utilities, but Docker had the triple combination of the familiarity of Linux, the cute whale, and the bonfire of VC dollars to drive adoption.

There is still a great deal of administrative/technical value in using anything-but-Docker if you can tolerate the social stigma, but who can? The CxOs need that Docker/Kubernetes feather in their cap so they can look cool at conferences.

Suggesting SmartOS/illumos gets you sideways looks at the very bare minimum. When I stated that I was thinking about using it here over a year ago, my inbox was immediately flooded with accusations that I was part of a Joyent-bankrolled cabal, because clearly no sane ordinary person would consider such a dead platform. In the interim, OmniTI has gone belly-up and OpenZFS has deemed ZFS on Linux the rightful heir to the ZFS throne, and now the Joyent Public Cloud is shuttering. If the impression that you had to be part of a conspiracy to use SmartOS for a greenfield project was reasonable then, it's only more reasonable now.

The sun may yet rise again on illumos some day, but it's time to accept that it's well into the night now.
> All I saw of the city made it seem like a giant suburb. BART stations were miles apart and therefore practically useless.

While there are multiple BART stations in the city, it is not the main public transit in the city, Muni is. BART is the regional rapid transit connecting suburbs to the city.

> I was mainly in the area around SFO

Then you quite possibly didn't actually see any of the City and County of San Francisco. SFO is operated by the San Francisco International Airport Commission, which is a body subordinate to the government of the City and County of San Francisco, but is not actually within the geographical boundaries of the City (or County, the two being one and the same.)
But this is why libraries are written. As you use each schema (using json-ld, or turtle, or whatever), wrap it with a library, and it becomes as easy to work with as anything. And you're adding to the critical mass of a read-write "web." Programmers need to work with the data and schemas occasionally, everyone else, forever. You've exchanged YAGNI with NIH. Unless you just expect to gain a critical mass, or don't care about participating in that web.
I've heard a lot of parents say something along those lines, though usually softened a bit: "I love my kids but if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have had them."
Plenty, my wife is a nurse and plenty of the women explain how they had one and then just never wanted another one after because of regret. The nurse closer to her age straight up says it. I got plenty of warnings from coworkers about having children and most of their wives pick up most of the slack. If you are gushing about your kids no one is going to open up about a taboo subject like that.

That is just one of the many reasons I don't want kids. I have plenty of functional health issues that make keeping on weight a chore never mind a pain free day and yet again that is just the tip of the iceberg.
> I don't think it matters very much what underlying frameworks are being used, especially to the end user.

Every Electron text editing app I've used has noticeable input latency and hitching compared to native on my system.

> If it's so easy...

It's practically part of the human experience to have opinions about technology you haven't personally developed. The author can build their software however they want. I just won't use it.
Can you define what you see as the closed argument here?
Another one of a similar theme: you may have seen: http://galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
I'm still in awe that starting off your life with massive student loans is a thing. This is almost always a very poor decision as there are tons of cheap regional schools where a part time job can mostly get you through school with very little debt. And yet we've got a generation of new adults starting life under crushing debt that purchased them something of dubious value (an expensive degree versus a cheap one). My regional university had a decent CS program and tuition was $3k/year.
On that note, how funny is it to hear people discuss "invasive species" and how they need to be culled while our numbers are such that we're able to significantly (negatively) impact our planet in the span of 100 years.
That transition requires authorisation from the original provider. If they locked your account and don't pick up the phone, you won't get the move approved and won't be able to repoint your urls to a different cloud.
Leaving aside the fact that you have not substantiated your claim, it could very well be that having kids in America makes you miserable, because the safety net is gutted or non-existent.

There is almost no maternal/paternal leave, health care costs are astronomical, so are child care costs, which are almost necessary, because the normal multi-generational family has been systematically destroyed over the last half-century, both with advertising and economic pressure. Not to mention the lack of compromising skills in both partners, which has been exacerbated by identity politics.

So yes, in context, maybe having kids is miserable*

*with caveats and not everywhere.
Lusted after EQ when it came out, but didn't have a pc that could run it until Dark Age of Camelot dropped (loved that game). Migrated from that to City of Heroes... then to WoW. Finally got the MMO monkey off my back at that point because it became way too much of a time sink after college.
Why is God a necessary thing?
The platform you develop on isn't a feature. It's a platform - and without a doubt, a web app is the most ubiquitous kind of app that can serve anyone on practically any internet-connected device.

Internet-connected is the key term here, though. If your target audience are internet-less note takers, then a desktop app is the correct choice.
How is living at home with your parents an example of prudence?
A travel book will run you 20 bux easy. It will be perceived as super cheap at 10.

How many people would buy a 10$ app for a guidebook for a specific destination (city or country), even if it was infinitely more performant and native than the book.
> That's a pretty big jump.

It's not as big of a jump as you think. If climate change is such an urgent issue that anti-natalism should be on the agenda, perhaps it's a big enough crisis to motivate a re-evaluation of some old ideas about the sanctity of individual human lives.
I'm not so sure--when my kids were infants we stayed home instead of going out. We took fewer trips. Kids aren't that expensive at that age. Diapers and formula, sure, but compared to what a teenager costs? You can save up a lot of cash during the little kid years if you're not doing daycare.
Quite a fan of your work with beaker, so curious how this will pan out.

Activitypub implementations seem to fare mostly fine by ignoring that ActivityStreams2 technically is JSON-LD, using it as "just JSON". Curious if you have any particular points against it (I can imagine a few, but would be interested in your take on it).

Can you change your life, have wealth and health and live your dreams
I still just don't find the appeal of married family life yet. Maybe itll change but if it doesn't I dont care. My creative output and need to learn have so far been part of a journey I find near orgasmic in enjoyment when I look back on how far I've come. Yes I'm an introvert but not the shy kind just the kind that needs two hours alone for every hour with people.
That's like saying it's scientifically proven that people who invest are poorer than people who hoard their cash (and don't invest). True in the short term, false in the long term.
Facebook plans June 18th cryptocurrency debut
What's wrong with being alone? The only problem I see is for people who can't handle a certain burden (X) _being_ alone.

Perhaps a right balance can be struck, but often times it is better to be alone (X) than to be around people you have to make a certain amount of effort (Y) to be with.
I think it's not uncommon for people to experience loneliness because of the insularity of certain conventional styles of family (especially nuclear family, but even of extended family). Various forms of chosen family are too often taboo or devalued against more exclusive "proper" forms of family. In spite of this article's allusion, nuclear family has such strong privilege over alternative, less biologically immediate forms of kinship and community, and it's so easy for it to wipe them out altogether.

From my point of view, intensely idealized, exclusive biological family models are inherently lonely, as too often they marginalize and preclude opportunities for us to explore deeply our broader human kinship with one another.

My experience has been that various organic communities have given me some of the most wonderful joy. My own nuclear family wouldn't have survived, time and time again, if it weren't for each of our larger chosen families, and for our acceptance of each others' chosen families.
A lot of it gets lost to private contractors and consultants. Privatization is nice if you don't have the labor pool to do the work with public employees, but it's very wasteful and costly because everyone down the line needs to get their chunk of the pie. Public can run at cost or over budget and still be a huge success because no one is clamoring for a >30% profit margin. It also invites nepotism.
>(I mean, why does it matter? Someone desires privacy, and we as a community are hellbent on depriving them of any... what does that say about our moral character?)

Are you talking about Paul Le Roux or Craig Wright? Both of them have been actively craving recognition and courting notoriety of their own accord, for differing reasons ─ either due a flaw in their character or empty spots in their souls, probably not related to their genius. Regardless, they are not seeking any kind of redemption or permission from anyone, nor do they have any desire for privacy; although Paul Le Roux is already semi-anonymous due to his status as an asset.
The statement you reference is "77% of women do not know that when a woman is 35+, her age is a better indicator of her fertility than her overall health." As a women in her 30s, I'll say that every damn woman in America has heard of a biological clock by her 20s, and is quite aware, and many are getting calls from Auntie every two weeks about whether she's getting on it yet.
Microsoft has been working on xCloud for a lot longer than that. And Microsoft has more cloud data centers than Google around the globe.
> You forget that we are nothing but an organism, we all produce waste and contribute hardly nothing beneficial to the environment.

So in your view, humans are weeds. Do you think it's time to get out the weedkiller?
Those are the tales that are told by the majority of the people who somehow can never make it to the gym.
One way to measure the value of software is how much human work it replaces.

If your customer is a business, that means how many jobs it replaces. So with a high bar for "socially harmless," you may be limited to consumer software.

At scale, I can't think of much consumer software that's profitable and doesn't rely on ads. Off the top of my head, some examples would be Photoshop, Dropbox (though their board includes at least one war criminal), and Firefox.

It's genuinely hard. Good luck.
Sure, in some domains you have to use specific languages because of the constraints of the domain. However, as you yourself state, a language can play a significant impact when it comes to productivity.

For example, immutability provides similar benefits to GC. Instead of the developer having to manually manage references across the project by hand, the language takes care of that work. This frees the developer from doing additional work, and removes a source of errors. This also directly leads to the ability to do local reasoning about code resulting in developers needing less context to understand code. So, if GC plays a significant enough role then it's highly likely that immutability does as well because it addresses a similar set of problems.

Is there a theory that the beginning and the ending of the universe are directly connected to each other? And that time doesn't so much start over and return to the starting point on a circle, so to speak?
America and most modern democracies are oligarchy's as well. Show me a g20 nation ran by paupers and everyday Joe's. America is as big an oligarchy as there ever was, esp. w/ the revolving door in Congress, it might as well be ran by the mafia.
This. I got the preorder email a half hour or so ago and have been sitting here thinking "ehhhhhhh" I want to check it out but I'm expecting the quality to be exactly like it was from the first Amazon Fire (the controller even looks like a cousin of the Fire controller, the button orientation is slightly different and they've swapped the position a stick and the dpad) except instead of downloading titles to the Fire you'll buy the controller and randomtimelater Google will shut down the service leaving you with nothing to play at all.

130$ (probably more with shipping) is a good deal of money for me, I'd feel a lot better pulling the trigger if Google didn't have a history of abandoning stuff.

Fairness-Aware Machine Learning: Practical Challenges, Lessons Learned
Doesn't this "silent majority" get disproportionate political power in America due to the constitution's bias towards rural, White states (by, e.g. the senate and electoral college)?

Rent and other living expenses are also much higher in the Bay Area than in, say, Montana. So a dollar-to-dollar comparison that doesn't consider purchasing power isn't very useful.
Pretty disingenuous of you to put the word "every" in quotation marks when the person you're responding to used the word "most".

In the principal of charity I'll assume it was an honest mistake.

I've found something like a LookML syntax backed by SQLAlchemy Core has allowed me to implement something like Looker (but tied to my own visualization stack)
Why not just raise your kids with a low eco footprint? The whole argument is silly to me. If you want to find the best action you and your children can do about climate change - it’s going vegan.
I'd say it is a natural way of living, but maybe you have been unlucky in not experiencing it for yourself. This debate is pretty old, Plato's Republic hinting at the disappearance of the family echoes much of the current western culture. He figured out you could not impose a totalitarian state while having people's allegiance lie on their family.
For production, $200/mo. Dev/testing seem to always cost 3x+ what production servers cost.

One was an IT management/automation SAAS company (I think they were $450/mo), another was backoffice SAAS company (I think they were $1000/mo but they were also hosting for an independent dealer of their SAAS so it was two production systems, and 10 years of tech debt), third is a live video consultancy SAAS that outsourced their video to a third party api service. None of those are actually $200/mo but realistically in the ballpark of under $1000/mo.

When I converted the company (which included 40 engineers and probably 12 qa engineers) to the cloud I got my hands slapped for converting the QA/test datacenter (not production) and the cost went from $3200/mo on bare metal to $6500/mo but we were able to squeeze that down to $4200/mo running about 10 always-on test/pre-prod environments and 2-3 on-demand test environments.

This is all enterprise space stuff where the utilization is low but the value of the service is high. If you're doing facebook for dogs and trying to turn a profit on ad revenue from high utilization it's probably not as effective/realistic.
