The main internet and phone service provider of the Netherlands is down. Even the emergency number (112, our equivalent of 911) is down. Almost everyone is unreachable. The whole telephone network is disrupted.

I wonder if it's related to this? It does say this kind of BGP thing can be a deliberate malicious attack. Perhaps this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGP_hijacking
Maybe. But once you posit "long, long, long time" and the current iteration clearly not being suitable... Sure, some far future xR technology will almost certainly improve remote interactions and collaboration. But it almost certainly doesn't look like what we call VR today.

Other lisps with a repl might fall into the same ballpark, but offerings like the ruby and node.js repls are pretty inadequate by comparison. I haven’t used the python repl in a long time so I can’t comment there. In general I’d say that one of clojure’s strengths is the REPL+Editor integration that’s pretty common among all major editors supporting the language.
How would that be clear? New York has developed over decades and have had plenty of problems to the point were the city becoming less seedy was seen as milestone. But even despite this New York continues to have plenty of problems. That a smaller city developing much quicker economically finds itself having social problems is entirely consistant with that.
Where are credit cards not that common in Europe? I don’t think I no a single person that doesn’t have one and most banks even give you a free Visa card (prepaid) with your normal bank account in Germany.
>I'm not trying to be all sour grapes, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Please allow me to offer a different perspective.

Doing a startup, at least a serious startup (instead of a side project), is an extremely costly endeavor, doesn't matter who you are. By costly I don't mean the office rent or employee payroll, I mean the toll it takes on your time, your personal life, and most importantly the opportunity cost you pay by giving up a potentially lucrative career elsewhere.

In addition to being costly, doing a startup has a very high risk of failure. So combining both of those factors, if you decide to take the leap of faith to do a startup, wouldn't you try to do it in a way that absolutely maximizes chance of success? Considering all that risk and opportunity cost, higher rent and more expensive cost of living is such a marginal cost. With all due respect, I know what kind of house you can buy for about $300k in Houston, and if keeping that standard of living is more important to you than maximizing the chance of success for your high risk startup, then I sincerely wonder if doing a startup is the right thing for you considering how low your risk tolerance is.

Now why do I think Silicon Valley offers a higher chance of success? Books can be written about this topic so I won't get into too much details. The talent pool is one issue (and no, even though I don't doubt there will be a lot of .NET devs in Houston, I think you will realize it's one thing to find good .NET devs, but another to convince them to work for you), the other one is the entire supporting ecosystem. I'm talking about cofounders, investors, people to bounce ideas off, people who show you where the doors are, and most importantly there is a culture of not punish failure that does wonders for encouraging taking risks and innovate.

Is SV a circle jerk? Oh absolutely. But it doesn't mean you can't get tremendous value out of it.

A counter example is when I tried to do a software startup in Austin. To be honest, the level of ecosystem in Austin is completely bush league when compared to SV. I think one of the biggest VC firms in town back then had an unofficial policy of "not invest in first time founders", and most of their investments are series B/C rounds following bigger SV VC firms. That is how risk-averse the scene is. I moved to Silicon Valley soon after that and I never looked back.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty, plenty of reasons to do a startup else where. For example, if you are doing a startup that writes software for the oil/energy companies, then Houston would be a fantastic place! If you are doing a startup that promotes live music, then Austin would make sense too. I just don't think personal cost of living is worth much consideration in most cases.
We use Screenly. It's rather basic and managed from a cloud account that can see the devices. There is no SSH or other "admin" access beyond the Web GUI that allows you to name/rename/remove and group screens based on their onsite locations for common signage. We've had issues with them and I'm looking for software to replace Screenly that will run on Raspbian or other Unix-like ARM OS.

Yeah, I'm so privileged that I took on debt to go to university for a difficult subject and had to work and make lifestyle sacrifices to pay it back rather than voting for someone to give me a free ride.
If the ecosystem doesn't matter at least as much the language, why isn't Deno taking the world by storm, given that it fixes a lot of Node's problems and that it supports Typescript natively, which is a "better Javascript"?

Deno by itself isn't useless, but without an ecosystem, it clearly isn't that useful either.

> Throw in lots of classrooms with no or insufficient windows, and certainly none in the hallways.

This is one of most baffling aspects about the US, that is that you can have classrooms with no windows. I didn’t personally grow up as a kid in the best social-economic regime (an Eastern-European communist country in the ‘80s) but fortunately for little kid me the regime’s architects and urban planners put great emphasis on all classrooms having lots of windows, as big as possible. I later in my life became quite interested in the history of architecture and urban planning and I was able to find this idea (i.e. big windows are good for schools) in architectural magazines published way back in the 1950s.
Each provider uses a different cell tower (or at least their own antennas on a shared mast), with their own independent radio frequencies.

"All devices in cell" is still accurate. Each cell belongs to a single provider.

It's up to the network backend to make sure all providers get the emergency message at the same time to forward.

I just returned from a visit in Istanbul. For a certain kind of person -- and I suspect many of us here are such -- Istanbul or at least certain districts of it are hell on earth. The crowds in Besiktas are absolutely insane. I have never seen the like before.

You could add the ever prevalent attitude of "fleece the tourist" and my brain got overloaded in seconds.

Under Online Shopping, did you check "I never received merchandise" and "I did not receive a prompt refund"?

You never did receive what you ordered: a working product.

One time, I just had to tell a company while I was on the phone with them, that I had this specific website open on my computer and was filling out the form. That got them to resolve the issue immediately.

Unfortunately, this would only address the issue with Newegg, not Chase. But you should still get your refund, or the monitor, which you can then return for a refund (if you ended up buying another one somewhere else already). If Newegg says it's too late for a refund, tell them to read their own ToS which says you are elligible for a refund, or that you will sue them in small claims court. Or you could use your credit card's warrenty if it has one.

Heck, if your credit card has warranty coverage, did you try using that? From what I understand, if you try returning a defective item and the store won't accept it, the credit card company will just write you a check.

Just open a new case with the credit card company and don't refer to the old issue/case.
I agree, if you don't speak Turkish or don't want to learn speaking it a little, life can suck. It's possible, but when you speak Turkish you have so much more to explore and experience with the kind Turkish people.

Yeah, agree. Istanbul traffic is like LA traffic.

We pay $700 for a great apartment Ortaköy, which would probably be worth $4k in SF (or $3k in Zurich). It's short-term and completely furbished, too.

There are definitely more hip areas, but I like Ortaköy, you can walk to Besiktas, and can take the tram to Karaköy (Walk + Tram I mean).

The plane needs to be refused certification, forcing Boeing to take them all back and scrap them. They need to go back to the drawing board and design a new jet to take its place. If that forces them into bankruptcy, then this should serve as a good lesson about what happens when your company that makes safety-critical products cuts corners and kills people.
Pain and fear of pain is stressful. I think people are trying too hard to dismiss the perfectly reasonable point that schooling used to be stressful in a different way, became more reasonable as we moved away from corporal punishment, but is now becoming too stressful again, just in a different way.
Back in the early 90s I had a summer internship for a contractor at Goddard Space Flight Center. My job for the entire summer was to track down and inventory a list of 1000s of devices across the entire campus. At the time they were building a tracking database for all the devices on the campus.

The printout I was handed on my first day had not been updated in several years. It basically contained a tracking ID, what building/room the device was supposedly located, and who it was assigned to.

I spent every day walking building to building, room to room, interviewing employees, trying to track down devices. I never finished updating the list simply because I was never able to track down over half the devices. Outside of a few secure areas I did not have access to, I pretty much turned the campus upside down looking for devices. I can only imagine where all those devices ended up.
Elon Musk wouldn't have had the capital to bank Tesla in the first place if he ignored potential exits outright simply for principal's sake.

Well, if you work on your own startup you don't need work authorization. Just a tourist visa, which is pretty simple to get.
Thanks for mentioning this. This has been the norm for at least 15-20 years. It wasn't until I was in college (early 2000s) that I realized popular and happy people weren't inherently bad. Where did I get the idea that popular people were malevolent? And where did I get the idea suffering gave me validity? Who knows. What I do know is that this misconception was a big waste of time.

As a Chinese, I have n ever imagined such a study should have been published on SCIENCE. HONEST saying, I presume honesty should not be judged by just a WALLET TEST, this method, obviously in a Chinese view, is more like a child, out of prejudice, holding a GUN against some specific groups. Not to mention about the WALLET involved is quite far from common. Wallet we used to see is in black or brown and made of leather instead of plastic, and Chinese would hand in the lost wallet to the police station if we can't contact the owner. Besides, we can't draw a conclusion only from employee's reaction to lost wallets. If so, this study has no consideration about the population classification such as age and education level. Lastly, I am obliged to stress two points. 1, Chinese don't even never use email to contact somebody. 2, Overwhelming majority of Chinese don't carry a wallet on. Wondering why, go and ask Jack Ma and Pony Ma.

“Nobody can read your private data” doesn’t really work with email though if you want search and if the emails are delivered in plain text anyway. If you want total security you’d have to use client side encryption anyway and all partners of the email conversation would need to do that.

Internet outages happens too often for any internet based services to be reliable in an emergency. Any larger ISP have several local outages per week. Last week one of the largest mobile carries in Sweden had major problems three days in a row, affecting both telephone and internet.

What part of that fact sheet contradicts something I said? The "what are some of the barriers" section actually demonstrates my point - it provides external reasons for depression and mental health issues, which only apply to minorities. If you are not a minority, you can't really use these to explain why you are depressed or in a bad situation.
You prevent competitors from stealing by requiring them to open source their stuff too.
That is really ignoring the fact that people move to these cities with dreams and no plans, come from great falls Montana with money for a place to stay for one month, and then are homeless afterwards. Also, collecting statistics on homeless is notoriously noisy; eg in Seattle they did a survey that found most of the homeless lived in Seattle before they were homeless, but when asked where they lived, most put down pioneer square....
Exactly!

Drivetrain type is completely orthogonal to weight as a performance factor for a vehicle.

Weight will affect the efficiency of every drivetrain (unless you have a drivetrain that can zero out the inertial properties of nearby mass).

I was only suggesting that luxury is a less important factor than weight to consider for efficiency.

The hypothetical levee system and the GI bill are both very much the same situation, involving taxes assisting someone else. Why should citizens who lost property in a flood be responsible for ensuring that others in the future don't?

Why is the GI bill comparison disingenuous? The veterans who served before the introduction of the GI bill made exactly the same sacrifices as those who were eligible for it, and yet their taxes sponsored it. The fact that one group was put in personal danger doesn't make the comparison invalid.
I think you missed the "if you have headphones in" part.
I think this is because our memories are not videos, we do not store them pixel by pixel, because that would require huge amount of storage space our brains do not have. Instead we use the approach similar to 3d games: remember rough shape of an object as one piece of information, location as second piece, and color or texture as a third. When recalling a memory your brain renders the whole scene, and if some piece of infomation is missing it makes it up on the fly to fill the gap. Then you overwrite your original memory with memory of this most recent rendering.
Hah, I was thinking the same thing. If you have a chance to invest in a terrible game idea by Butterfield, do you do it?
That's what really did it for me. Losing any notion of security or a future. Initially I thought losing my physical health was the worst of it, but the losses of relationship and financial (and thus physical) security were an order of magnitude worse.

DevOps: What We Can All Learn from the Hertz-Accenture News
Yes, but that won't solve the issue.

The issue is regulators write regulations for one thing, but want a subtly different thing.

If you and I start a game of poker, but rather than winning through skill, I call the FBI and get them to search all your cards, have I broken the rules of poker? It wasn't a written rule not to call the FBI...

Regulators across the world have similar gaps in the rules, and both humans and automated design tools will start to exploit them, possibly unknowingly. Instead they need to make far more watertight rules. They should simply require all cars to measure their own emissions, and bill the companies for any cars which either mis-measure emissions, or measure more emissions in their lifetime than an allowed limit. Then manufacturers will have an incentive to upgrade cars in the field.

> Squatters by the way are a myth that was invented in the 90's by the media and used in an obviously pejorative way.

How do you mean it was a myth? You remember all the domain name for sale landing pages, the faux SEO (not really) pages, the domain name marketplace sites full of massive numbers never-used domains (sometimes domains with some token SEO-ing done on them to increase the rank they could mention), the registrars who helped automate massive buying of domain names, and all the people (including people you knew personally, not made up) talking about how they were buying up domain names for their value rather than to use (and the people themselves sometimes said they were "squatting")? Are you saying something else?

No, super low latency (<10ms) is only important for fast-paced games. For working, you probably don't even notice 20ms or 80ms.

Anyhow, as the sister comment says, 5G and further advancments are bringing down latency. By the time remote work will be done in VR in a mainstream fashion, this won't be a problem at all.
