If it is not worth it (presumably because most of the bandwidth will just be unused) then the ISPs should just bump everyone up to gigabit or whatever their end-user links support. Few people will actually use the extra bandwidth so there will not be much aggregate impact on the ISP.

(This holds true until the next leap in bandwidth-requiring applications comes along.)
Should be within 10%? Where is that posted? I pay for xfinity 1gbps, and rarely get 50% of the "advertised maximum". I would switch to fiber in a heartbeat if I could, but my little street is the only street without enough customers to "make it worth it".

That is a fair correction, not at all WR for 24 hour period. WR for a 24 hour race.

>there are extremely few professional ultra-marathon runners.

That is generally fair, but there are extremely few professional runners period. But per capital, you will find the the runners of 100 mile/240 mile races are going to be more elite on average than your average marathon runner. Are there less ultra runners sure, is the average ultra runner more likely to be elite than a casual runner? I still don't consider Ultra runs niche, and by default I think its wrong to say if a women runs a race, by definition that race is niche.
Waiting for consensus is garbage. We don't need to wait for everybody else to do the right thing before we do it.

You also don't need an international agreement to impose tariffs on any country that emits more than a given amount of CO2 per capita, and if more than a couple of countries impose those conditions (or even just one big one like the US) then it gives others domestic cover to do something meaningful because they can argue they have to do it to avoid the tariffs. Meanwhile they can "retaliate" by imposing the same conditions and soon enough everyone is hitting their targets to avoid all the tariffs, without anyone ever having to sign up for a unified agreement.
Oh, I doubt that. I imagine they don't want paid propaganda, either, since that'll make them appear complicit, politically.
Yeah but my point is why can’t it do the same as Wi-Fi (since technically coax is just radio anyway) and dynamically allocate bandwidth for upload or download depending on usage?
A romantic relationship is completely different.

Sometimes a manager actually wants to find someone with the right combination of skill and enthusiasm to do something. I would definitely take “would you like to?” as part of that process, with a “no” answer being completely reasonable and expected.
Years back I was introduced to a terrific BBC show called Connections with James Burke (1978). The first episode, available on YouTube [0], is all about the world's reliance on power and that within a short period of time we'd be catapulted back to the plow.

#6 might be the only real chance the US has of having less divisive politics. Moving the upper middle class and wealthy out of cities could change the game entirely by making the political extremes less concentrated geographically.
I had the same deal. When spectrum took over my only option was to go from $15 to $70 if I wanted more speed. In addition I felt that they made the 3 mbps worse over time with more and more interruptions and reduced speed.

As far as spectrum goes they are pushing for higher speeds for a very high price. It feels like only being able to buy a Porsche as a car. Certainly a nice car but very expensive for most of us.
In my experience too with testing the NEO, they're just not as reliable to work with compared to the later models (both over NFC and USB). I believe the NEO was the first to bring in new features for the Yubikey, and the kinks weren't all ironed out yet.

If you have a NEO still, I'd recommend at least upgrading to a 4 if you can.

It's a little worse than open space. Imagine that your office is a conference room with glass walls, and many/most people try to get work done in the lunch area.

Marketing and branding and some small coolness that matters. Real estate is emotional everyone already knows that when buying a house. You buy on emotion. Used to be the case in the past with autos also. (Not so much now though.)

Saying what's the difference (valid question not pointed toward you) with Wework vs. IWG is like saying 'why a Porsche vs. a Chevy' or even 'Why a 911 vs. a Corvette'. It's not explained by things other than emotion over a brand. I say this as someone who has purchased many 911's and wouldn't touch a Corvette with a 10 foot pole. Doesn't matter the price or the performance. It's all in my head but that head is pretty emotional about that type of purchase.

(One other thing is it's likely that the people makeup of a wework office is much different than that of a IWG office (I am making a guess here I don't know but suspect it is). As such it's the same as 'why starbucks vs. dunkin donuts' for coffee. Very generally the people sitting and getting coffee at starbucks appear physically different than the ones sitting in a dunkin donuts.
I wprked for an architecture firm in seattle in 1994.

It was owned and ran by two brothers, the Yuans. I was making $9 per hour.

One would come to me and task me with something.

Then later, the other would come tell me to stop doing what i was doing and do his task.

Then the prior would come see me not doing his task and yell at me for not doing his task.

Then the other would do the same!

Super shitty managers.

I designed the entire (at the time) fred Hutchinson cancer research center by myself, while dealing with the above dynamic for $9 fucking dollars an hour.
Nothing.

Regus has 2.5 million customers but WeWork has only about over a quarter of a million. I live in a public housing estate in Singapore and there's a Regus Business Lounge in our estate's public library. We aren't even talking about the central business district, here.

I think WeWork has a lot more to catch up on in terms of scale and reach. Right now they're just building up hype like a tech company but really, they're just in the property space.
"Data on how BMI in rural and urban populations is changing are needed to plan interventions that address underweight and overweight."

Specifically in the U.S., isn't it true that the population landscape is rapidly shifting from Rural => Urban? I intend to read more to see how this may/may not be a confounder in this type of temporal analysis.

Tldr: If the rural population is decreasing, then your denominator is smaller and estimates of disease proportion would increase over time.

These confounders are commonly addressed in systematic reviews - just haven't found it specifically in this one.

He's talking about oral antibiotics; these tick-borne infections propagate through your bloodstream, so topical antibiotics aren't going to do anything. Triclosan has effectively zero efficacy anyway (since we pump so much of it down our sewers): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4295542/

Unfortunately, since antibiotics are prescription-only, what forgotmypw3 is recommending is effectively illegal in the US. A much better option is to coat all of your clothing in permethrin, avoid wooded/grassy areas, and check yourself for ticks often.

The manager is already being paid to manage people and, as you point out, usually at a higher rate. In my opinion this is simply part of the job.

The global disaster in that movie was a plausible plot concept. Humanity is already talking about geo-engineering concepts based on aerosols to reflect sunlight. The Snowpiercer universe just kinda took the 'Ice 9' from Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" book and used it for geo-engineering.

If we had that kind of technology, we would probably consider it with similar disasterous results.

Technology that impacts the entire planet, wielded by a desperate species, can have disasterous consequences if things go wrong.

Lucky for us, a form of ice that is stable and has a higher melting point isn't a thing in our world...

Us genetically engineering hardy organisms to terraform our way out of the climate crisis is the more plausible 'oops' scenario. All it takes is one project underestimating the results of their work for things to go wildly wrong.
How to Use the AWS SQS CLI to Receive Messages
I can definitely see the benefit for a team working remotely, which may (hopefully) become more common. I think WeWork still has a "local" business model: you rent out space at a specific location for defined periods of time.

If this switched to global, as I'm sure it is for enterprise accounts, I could see it being very valuable. If the variable cost of adding a desk in an office anywhere in the globe is, say, $500/seat that is so much easier than having to deal with setting up offices wherever you find talent.

That all being said, I have serious problems with the design of WeWork offices. Their horrible sound design means you· better hope you don't have an office neighbor that is making calls all day. The office I worked at had a private equity firm that rented out a corner of the building for a few of its remote employees. They then also rented the neighboring offices for those employees, which remained empty, so they could have privacy.
You are fortunate that lat/long is sufficient for your use-case.

In my experience, the problem is that it isn't as exact as you'd think, especially when your measurement passes back and forth between reality, the idealized cartesian lat/long, and node/distance understandings of road networks. At a previous company, our map provider moved the entire United States three meters to the west and we spent the next week re-adjusting endpoints that were suddenly in medians, on overpasses, etc.

tl;dr: Nothing's easy.
I had a private office for eight years, its not really meaningfully different from a cubicle (I've never worked in an open floor plan). I mean, I could close the door rather than putting on my headphones if noise was bothering me, I could have phone conferences in my office, and I could have private phonecalls without stepping outside. I also had more room for all my crap (ended up with a few old computers sitting around). But those improvements are very, very minor.

Yeah I was thinking the same. A recession could allow them to lock up really nice deals at cheap rates for a longer term and if they could then ride out the recession into the recovery the spread on the rates they could charge in recovery could be relatively good for them.
When does a location become an address? Because as far as I can tell, this is a geolocation scheme, not an address system.

(As far as I know, an address is for "addressing" a person, except by mail rather than by spoken means, which is why it's based on identifying a building and even room in that building)

"The filesystems are not written to expect that kind of (ab)use. When asked if it really was that easy to crash the kernel with a hand-crafted filesystem image, Viro said: "is water wet?""

This is why an rsync.net account that is enabled to allow zfs send/recv is actually inside a VM and the customer is given their own zpool and their own root login.

It's really resource intensive to do it this way and there are other, much simpler and scalable ways to provide the ability to zfs send into cloud storage ...

However, there is universal agreement among the ZFS coding community[1] that allowing someone to 'zfs send' an arbitrary datastream (in this case, a snapshot) is tremendously dangerous.

In the best case, the malicious actor can crash the kernel and deny service. In the worst case, the malicious actor could destroy the underlying zpool.

It can be a moderately firm request depending upon tone.

The thing is, it's not really the "no" per se but the fact that the manager has asked in a gentle way and internally expects a gentle response with context.

"I'd really prefer not to-- isn't XX supposed to handle that?"

"I can't, because I just have too many other tasks"

Internally, there's a bit of a "hot stove" reaction to "I asked gently and he just bluntly refused!"

In my neighborhood Cox brought in Gigablast a few months ago and it is around $130/month. Google fiber is being put in now, and will be $70/month, so we will have two Gigabyte options.

> There's nothing wrong about a multi day email chain.

Email chains can work for some things, but they mostly suck compared to face to face meetings. You never know if someone else is silent because they agree, they haven't read the whole email, or they haven't taken time to write a response.

Most things able to be solved by email chains are better off in some sort of issue tracking or wiki system.

This is blunt but largely true. If you have better charisma and social skills people will naturally like you more than otherwise. That's how you end up in management where social skills often outweigh technical ability (which can be delegated).
> If you are being throttled, that's obviously not increasing availability in any meaningful sense, so, no, it's not. What would be a plus for users would be adding capacity. Not performing the contractually agreed service is the exact opposite of "increasing availability".

Adding capacity is easy to say, but can be hard to do. Where I live, the city council basically won't permit new towers; whatever licensed spectrum on the towers we have is the capacity.

Trying to frame this as a contractual issue is a losing battle. Nowhere ever did someone contractually promise you a meaningful speed to an unknown destination at a consumer approachable price. Certainly, it's not transparent, and that's reason to be upset.

High quality 4K and 8K streaming isn't widely used because there are not many users. Therefore there is no evidence for demand. Therefore there isn't many providers and content. Therefore we don't really need the bandwidth to support something that doesn't exist yet. We need to wait until other markets prove that this demand exists. Then the companies who provide the solutions can take over our market. Win-Win.

How software engineers can effectively handle emergencies at work
Anyone knows what happened to Spolky's hginit.com ? It used to be one of the most accessible Hg tutorials out there.
That's actually not true - the efficiencies due to copying can be overcome with the runtime or abstractions.

For example, the copy on write (COW) mechanism of unix where memory pages are mapped to the same location until a forked process writes to one, in which case the virtual memory manager makes a mutable copy.

There's also Redux and Closure's immutable state tree that makes copies under a similar mechanism to COW but through code, since they run at a level of abstraction above C++ or Rust.

My feeling is that these techniques run within a few percent of the speed of hand-optimization. But in the real world, I've seen very little human code remain optimized over the long term. Someone invariably comes along who doesn't understand the principles behind the code and inadvertently does a manual copy somewhere or breaks the O() speed of the algorithm by using the wrong abstractions. Meanwhile immutable code using mechanisms like COW avoids these pitfalls because the code is small and obvious.

I feel that the things that Rust is trying to do were solved long ago under FP, so I don't think it's the language for me. That's also why I moved away from C#, Java, C++, etc. Better languages might be Elixer or Clojure/ClojureScript, although they still have ugly syntax from a mainstream perspective compared to say Javascript or Python. I love that Rust exists as a formal spec of a mature imperative programming language. I think it's still useful in kernels and the embedded space. But I'm concerned that it's borrowing ideas like async/await that trade determinism for performance.
Yeah, it's all on the Lua VM. It does behave kinda like an 8-bit computer in that you can go poking around in the RAM to create various effects or glitches.

Average is definitely the wrong metric to look at for this. It's like saying "the average speed of a car is only 25 MPH, but you're paying for one that can go 70", but everyone would probably agree that going over 70 is valuable even if it's only for short bursts.

Especially bad is that graph of speed vs average bandwidth used (%). Of course people don't max out a 1000 MB/s line constantly, that'd be nuts.

As a manager, "could you please..." and "would you like to..." seem like quite different questions to me. The former fits in with your description; it's a direct request wrapped in deferential language. The second, though, seems to be soliciting the employee's thoughts on a task rather than immediately enlisting them in doing it.
