Then they're doing something wrong, because that comes out to $83k per person, which is much higher than the average yearly salary for Americans.

They'd do better just giving these people $1500/month to live on, along with some counseling services to get them reintegrated into society.
Have you ever watched the news and heard about a refugee crisis? Imagine that but a thousand time worse.

Most of the world's major population centers are near the coast. With significant sea level rise, those people will move. We're not merely talking about millions of refugees here, but possibly a billion. Put your mind to work and imagine what that will do.
The TLDR
Macrometa is a geo-distributed, real-time, streaming DB with a multi-modal interface (K/V, Doc, Streams, Graph, Time Series). Unlike centralized eventually consistent DBs, Macrometa is a natively geo-replicated DB that uses CRDTs to replicate with better consistency guarantees than eventually consistent DBs.

The DB incorporates streams and streams processing as a first-class database primitive and lets you build low latency, high volume data pipelines that are event-driven and reactive.

What "false positive rate" is acceptable to you? And shouldn't we refer to it for what it is: a "innocent people murdered by the state rate"?

For me personally, 0 is the only acceptable number. The only way to get that is to end the death penalty.
> You keep doing things well, but your competition has a second-mover advantage. They get to work with newer tooling, no legacy codebase, all the benefits of a fresh start. They start to win your customers away from you.

... so you're saying the first-mover begins coasting and fails to invest in its product, while the plucky upstart puts in novel research and development.

That might be common, but it hardly seems inevitable. If anything the 'old guard' should have a relative advantage from better know-how, including knowledge of what pitfalls to avoid.

The true underlying issue might be the false assumption that market position is durable, rather than purchased with a depreciating investment in tooling, process, and technology.

You mean all the people who make and prescribe and administer the heroin? If that’s your meaning, then “everyone else” has much the same problem: it’s a rare person in our society who isn’t dependent on some part of the pharmaceuticals / medical equipment / biochemical industry to keep their life together. You can’t just stop taking SSRIs if you’re on them, insulin if you’re diabetic, antibiotics in the middle of a regimen, immunosuppressants if you’ve had an organ transplant... and you could never be a doctor (without immediately causing a life-threatening incident) without a constant supply of scrub and pre-sterilized instruments.
This is true, though I've found personally that there is an unintended niceness to having your resume down in LaTeX/PDF: recruiters can't break the formatting by adding their ugly logo on the top.

This probably is an outlier, but about 6 years ago, I had a resume that I wrote in the typical .docx format, a recruiter added their logo on the top, all the bullets became misaligned, and during the interview, the interviewer actually asked why I would submit such an unprofessional thing for a place that I expected to work (though he said it more politely than that). Lord knows how many people saw it and turned up even giving me an interview because of it.

After that incident, I redid it in LaTeX, and whenever I talk to recruiters who ask for my resume in a Word/Google Docs format, I tell them "I don't own a copy of MS Word, but here's a link to the TeX source!". I've never had anyone ever push back after that, and since most non-engineers don't know how to use TeX, they don't break the formatting.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for iCloud Drive folder sharing so I can dump Dropbox.

I pay for both and pCloud is cheap but inferior (for me) in two ways:

1. pCloud doesn't support file permissions or symlinks, thus you can't use it as a real filesystem (eg, building and testing software out of it).

2. pCould is a "cloud fs" (the files aren't on a host filesystem), whereas Dropbox is syncing a host filesystem. The difference is very visible in performance.

If the first issue was fixed (I've asked them many times, to no avail), I could live with the second.
These days I try to assume I probably don't understand!

We could learn so much more in life and have such better interactions if this were the default condition going into the unknown.

I agree - grow or die. “Do one thing well” might work well for open source Unix CLI tools, but not for companies with shareholders expecting dividends. I wish it wasn’t that way, but that is how it is.
I've never touched CP/NET or MP/M, but I've read up a bit on them, and on CP/M 3 which shares a number of features --- I have to say that I'm not really a fan of it; there's a lot of extra complexity for a debatable set of improvements, which is why I stuck with CP/M 2.2. (Also I couldn't find a open source CP/M 3 compatible BDOS.)

I do like the FPGA idea --- it feels like a better GA-144. But I'd probably implement it using something based on CP/M 2.2: it would need a BIOS with a remote console and communication channel system, with a switching fabric in the FPGA tying nodes together. I'd also have to rip the filesystem out of the BDOS in favour of something NFS-like over the communication channels, but as that wouldn't really leave anything left, I suspect this would rapidly turn into a combined BIOS/BDOS with most of the actual work done on the file server.

I'm not convinced the end result would be useful... but it'd certainly be cool.

> ...as long as their core syncing tech. remains functional, I just want them succeed.

I feel likewise. But I'm afraid their core tech will slowly fall into neglect as they cast about for new revenue streams - and in this particular case that core tech does too important a job for me to tolerate even moderate neglect.
It might be a legal issue instead of the small market. the robot shoot water ball so it might violate Australia law. just my 2 cents.

> Yes, in an urban context,

You made the claim that bikes were obsolete in “every way”.

Most cities do not make it work with cars. In actual cities (not giant suburbs like Houston or Phoenix) a large fraction of the population does not drive or own a car.

> What do you think is going to happen in a scenario where most people are bicycling everywhere? They'd potentially spend just as much time on the road as they would in car traffic, have to constantly dodge other bikes and vehicles, and city officials would make them pay for parking.

Do you really not grasp the fact that bikes take up less space than cars. If people switched from cars to bikes there would be far less congestion.
It is a perspective, but I think the culture in most places in the US would render this option unviable.

I can guarantee you that if this were to be attempted in SF, they would have to have the drugs administered by medical staff. They couldn't just hand heroin and crack to the patients. Pimps and dealers would send in mules to get drugs that could be resold for cash. That would also probably cause human trafficking to surge.

Portugal's efforts to reduce addiction and homelessness sound great too, but those won't work here either. We need to find solutions that are workable for our culture... or wait for our culture to change.
Health is not arbitrary. Why do I care if you smoke crack in public? Because I don’t want to breathe your second hand crack smoke. I’m shocked that this point is being lost in the discussion as it seems quite obvious.
I'm surprised, I thought it was run by Netflix so that they'd also have to boost all Netflix traffic. Maybe they are doing DPI? Netflix also has a "test video" somewhere that is probably a more representative test.
We had the same kind of "hidden" router at my previous employer, as we had a team of ~10 developers who needed a lot of different access to different servers and between eachother. We put the name of another tenant in the office building as the SSID :).

After about a year the network through that router started to slow down. When we checked why we realized that we had more than 40 wifi clients, as other (non-dev) teams learned about the network through the grapevine and actually the new employees from sales (the neighboring office) were told to connect to that network directly - as the process to connect to the "normal" network was too much of a hassle.

> I agree that it's bad to kill innocents, but I think with the right policy and rigor, we could make the death penalty an efficient and painless process that has an extremely low false positive rate.

How low of a rate are you willing to accept, and how do you plan on getting there?
Here's your periodic reminder that IPFS is a distribution mechanism, and not a storage mechanism. It doesn't persist anything. It's like a more granular BitTorrent, and not really a filesystem at all.

This can be very useful in certain situations and projects! But it means that it is not a replacement for a centrally-hosted website... and the IPFS site does a very poor job of conveying this limitation.

(I can't take Filecoin seriously as a 'solution' here either - as far as I can tell, it suffers from the exact same problem as every 'blockchain-backed storage system' I've seen before... it's unable to reliably verify that some peer is actually storing data, without a local copy to verify against.)
My memory might be fuzzy but I believe Kevin Paulson had Intel on the embassy bugs. It was years ago when I read it but I kind of assumed that played a role in a shorter prison sentence.

DON’T mess this up, Dropbox. Don’t.
Because that's not how the ROB or any of the other "in order" structures like the load buffers, etc, work. Fundamentally, retirement happens in order.

uops only leave the ROB when they retire, and they retire in the same order as they appear in the dynamic instruction steam. The ROB is needed to preserve the ability to roll back if any instruction faults, to handle interrupts, to generate precise exceptions, etc: think about what would happen if you had retired a bunch of random instructions on either side of an un-retired instruction that ended up faulting?

Everything is speculative. The CPU always operates as if any unretired instruction is speculative. In reality it almost is: probably at least a quarter of all instructions can fault in some way, and as soon as there is any such instruction in the unretired stream all younger instructions are "speculative". I'm putting it in quotes because "speculative" as we're discussing it just something we are making up: CPUs don't have a "I'm speculating" flag: everything is treated as speculative all the time (and if you consider interrupts, maybe even the cases where you have a stream of cannot-fault instructions would also be "speculative").

There is a structure that works as you describe: the scheduler/reservation station. That's the place where everything happens out of order and slow instructions can stall and be passed by younger ones who leave the scheduler and make room for others - but this sits within the in-order allocate + retire machinery.
I should have been clearer about this^

On most systems with 1 user it's irrelevant as by default they are in the admin group. Rather, usr/local exists and you may read and write into it even if you don't have explicit ownership (e.g, root). Whether that's brew, or your own script doesn't really matter.
So intent to be annoying is a worse offense than intent to rob someone?
Are they the worst programmers? If they were hired as the consequence of a diversity quota, then they are statistically likely, even guaranteed, to have been hired at a lower barrier to entry than their peers.

To take something like this seriously, bring data. What is an example of a worse job? How does your performance compare to the person put on a different job? People primed to think a certain way tend to think a certain way, and it experience so far has very often shown that people have reality twisted according to their expectations.

I'm, of course, not saying that this isn't possibly something that is happening. I do, however, bring a healthy level of skepticism.

MS continues to bungle their whole strategy. After being in Google-centric organizations for a decade, I moved to a Microsoft-centric company 18 months ago, and it's been a challenge.

I am continually dismayed at how difficult it is to choose the best way to do a simple task. Sharepoint? OneDrive? Online Word vs. Offline Word?

Choose the wrong one? Too bad! You now have to spend 20 minutes figuring out what went wrong and why the doc you sent around to your coworkers is suddenly in this weird purgatory state of part-online, part-offline, and you aren't sure which one to edit anymore.
Yeah. That was the attraction. It was invisible and got the job done. Recently, the notifications about their new products inside Dropbox is simply spammy.
Gotta start somewhere, if they were going after everyone then everyone would be throwing money at trying to stop it.

Also apparently this new law is modeled on a federal law against ISPs harvesting data that the Trump administration struck down. So this is maybe not so much a bold step forwards against data harvesting as a refusal to be dragged backwards.

> Could someone explain my why they really protest?

Vox recently made a good video on the topic [1].

In 1984, Beijing agreed with Britain that after the handoff in 1997, China would respect Hong Kong’s political system [2]. Hence, Deng Xiaoping’s “one country, two systems” [3].

Beijing is breaking that agreement. It already tried abduction [4]. Now it wants to be able to extradite anyone to China to be tried in Chinese courts.

This is problematic. Hong Kong, like Japan, Taiwan, Britain and America, has an independent judiciary where the government must prove its case. So if a dissident is tried in Hong Kong, prosecutors have to prove their case in a relatively fair court.

Chinese courts are party instruments. (Consider that there is no way to enforce Hong Kong’s rights under the 1984 agreement.) Under the proposed legislation, said dissident would be shipped to China where a rubber-stamp conviction could be sought.

"Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases today, global warming would continue to happen for at least several more decades, if not centuries. That’s because it takes a while for the planet (for example, the oceans) to respond, and because carbon dioxide – the predominant heat-trapping gas – lingers in the atmosphere for hundreds of years."[0]

A few notes on the different versions. The Archive version is a scan of the printed version. The scans are OCR'd to make it somewhat searchable, but the large filesize reflects the fact that it contains text scans.

Stock market doesn’t work that way. You are legally required to grow, forever until the end of time (or your business). I think it’s one of the most toxic forces that leads to pollution, over-consolidation, etc.
What permissions do you think that command should require? You could add a separate "delete" capability, but the fact that you have permission to write to the file already means that you can delete or overwrite its contents, which is effectively the same from the user's point of view. (Granted, the fact that you can delete a read-only file if you have write permission on the directory is a bit odd, but that situation doesn't come up often.)

I don't think more granular permission can solve this problem. What does solve it, however, is read-only copy-on-write snapshots. No matter how files are renamed, deleted, or modified, you can always recover the original version from the snapshot.

Remember the good old days when a few people on your street maxing out their connections could saturate the cable node? Even better if they figured out how to uncap their connection temporarily. They still could, but usage limits with charges past that at least discourage the behavior.

People get the idea that internet is some magic, ephemeral source of endless data transfer. But it's very much a physical thing with limits set by the quality of the lines and the hardware at each end. Improving last-mile connections only push the limit upstream.
I have proposed that. Give us a network where we can do what we want do and protect the boundaries of it. So far no luck.
I don't know what I was expecting but it was not this mess, dear god not a SINGLE feature on this "New Dropbox" is even slightly appealing to me. I just want reliable file-syncing. I enjoy smart sync on my MacBook since I have so many pictures and other large files and smart selection (or whatever it was called) wasn't really cutting it for me. Other than that there isn't anything Dropbox has added in the last 5 years that I have cared about.

I have to imagine there are a number of open-source alternatives now that just require a linux server in the cloud. Hell Backblaze B2 storage works out to about $70/yr for 1TB of space with with 100GB of churn (adding 100GB and deleting 100GB) and download each month (way more than I need), couple that with some syncing tool and I think you've got just about everything I need.
Agreed, but 22% difference is a lot. Also, my only issue about the article is about the source of money for ZeroDown; it does not mention anything about this 22% difference and the PMI difference that the company can pocket if comparing to people putting 20% down
