Your message is full of allegations without citations and is one of the most intellectually dishonest comments I've seen in the subject.

Lights do not stop crime in the way you're saying. I've been robbed twice in well lit locations. And a tiny percentage of those billboards were lit. This whole point sounds like reaching at straws without any logic behind it.

Avenida Paulista never looked like Times Square. Thankfully, because Times Square is a halogen light hellscape only tourists can stand and for little amounts of time at that. Paulista looks great, and dare I say better than it could have ever looked had it had huge billboards blocking the little sky one can see.

This was NOT a politician decision on a whim. Come on. That makes me doubt you've ever lived in São Paulo. This debate was raging for years and only came to fruition after the inability of regulation to have any effect on rampant illegal advertising covering more and more of the sky.
Would love a low-down / interview from a founder of one of these chains (there's also Curry Up now in the bay area) on the economics of making an indian fast-food joint. It might be a one-sentence article saying "demand", but I am sure there is a lot to unpack.

>Would a good takeaway be that expiring passwords would be helpful, if users weren't terrible about password management?

I think that's a fair assessment. Passwords are doubly risky in that they're regularly touched by human hands, and often transmitted directly over the network.

I think about security more often than many people I work with, but I recognize that I'm not immune to phishing myself. Rotating passwords sounds like a great idea, but in practice it results in people just choosing terrible passwords. Better to encourage systems that reduce the possibility for human error in the first place IMO (think WebAuthn and friends).
This is a little too generous about the benefits of binary formats vs text formats. Ultimately, any data exchange between disparate systems is going to be a challenging task, no matter what format you choose. Both sides have to implement it in a compatible way. And ultimately, every format is a binary format. Encoding machine-level data structures direct on the wire sounds good, but it quickly gets complicated when you have to deal with multiple architectures and languages. And you don't have the benefit of the gradually accreted de-facto conventions like using UTF-8 encoding for text-based formats to fall back on, much less the ability for humans to troubleshoot by being able to read the wire protocol.

With sufficient discipline and rigor, and a good suite of tests, developed over years of practical experience, you can evolve a good general binary wire protocol, but by then it will turn out to be so complicated and heavyweight to use, that some upstart will come up with a NEW FANTASTIC format that doesn't have any of the particular annoyances of your rigorous protocol, and developers will flock to this innovative and efficient new format because it will help them get stuff done much faster, and most of them won't run into the edge cases the new format doesn't cover for years, and then some of them will write articles like this one and comments like yours and we can repeat the cycle every 10-20 years, just like we've been doing.
Oh ya, he absolutely does. Like I'm stating above, both the legco and the governorship/chief executive setup is a sham. But you're just criticizing the queen of england.

The situation is basically like someone kicks down your door and steals your kid. Locks the kid in a cage for 100+ years, and right before giving the kid back to you, puts the kid on a leash (governor/legco dynamic) to market it as 'cage-free'. And right after handing the leash back to you and telling you "don't you mess with how the kid is handled", goes around screaming "oh my god, you're leashing your kid! someone call child protection".

Aspiring political reforms is a noble pursuit which I fully support. But if you want to fight for a novel structure which neither the UK (House of Lords, powerless MEPs) or Hong Kong under British rule or China ever had, you can't get it by moral grandstanding or acting like China owes it to you.
From the pictures, it seems like this ban lead to people removing signage from buildings entirely, which I think is pretty inconvenient. When I'm walking down the street, it is helpful to know what stores I am walking past, and have some information about them (ex. the phone number on Ribnits in the before picture).

I think a better middle ground is to ban advertising that is not related to the structure the ad is on - that would get rid of a lot of the clutter created by billboards and third-party ads on things like bus stops, while still allowing stores to advertise themselves and what they do to people walking by.
I'm not sure what "glut in capital" really means. Capital is the "means of production" and includes things like buildings, developed land, and equipment. A glut in capital would mean that there are too many of these things and many are left idle, e.g., empty houses because nobody wants to pay even a low rent to use them.

Where I live, for example, there's a shortage of housing and houses are rented for higher prices than they should be. This is a capital shortage, not a capital glut.

Monetary policy, such as governments running up large debts and central banks keeping interest rates low, leads to a large amount of "paper wealth" in circulation, which doesn't relate directly to physical capital. People and organizations are apparently happy to hoard this paper, so that it doesn't lead to inflation in the real economy.
A responsibility they are apparently not taking seriously.

In general our only 'mesh tech' innovation is the mandatory WireGuard encryption for all user traffic. Which as far as I know is a first. The rest is the billing and some ease of configuration.
Interesting, though I think there's more to it than just this.

Belief tends to become identity.

Moreover, belief becomes an ordering principle. The refutation of a belief creates the problem that there is no longer an ordering principle. This isn't always clearly obvious, but if the belief is itself part of a complex chain of interconnected beliefs, then removal of one, even if quite clearly false, creates discord within the entire structure. You've got to break down and rebuild the whole thing, which can get complicated.

(Compare, by way of technical analogue, the task of refactoring a particularly messy bit of code or kit, where it turns out that a specific feature has interactions across a wide number of other areas.)

The Kubler-Ross model of grief is, I'm increasingly convinced, actually a response to belief changes. The original research was based on patients informed of their own pending mortality, by way of fatal diagnoses or conditions, and how they responded.

Such information is a massive disruption to belief systems. And absent some mechanism for supporting transition to a different one, the classic KR response (denial, anger, depression, bargaining, acceptance) is highly probable.

The interesting question to me is what happens in cases where such responses don't develop. Where we can and do change beliefs quickly and fluidly. What do those circumstances have in common.
No.. it's completely accurate.

Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply that you didn’t innovate. I just meant that the fundamental baseline for a mesh is the same.
IMHO CamelCase is the offender, not the length of the symbol. (CamelCase kills local readability, and therefore global as well) lisp-style-hyphenation is readable to me, even when long. If it helps the code read like prose, all the better.

I totally agree about credit unions vs. banks; at this point I am leery about dealing with any financial institution that doesn't have "Federal Credit Union" in its name.

I think most credit unions will work with you to open a business account if you are already known to them as a personal member.
Yours is the wrong citation. See my other post for the correct exemption.

Boston is your big city, right? It had 56 people murdered in 2018. Here are their pictures. https://www.universalhub.com/2018/boston-murders-2018

As near as I can tell from the available pictures, the victims are largely or entirely black. They make up 23% of the city, according to wikipedia, or 159,754 people. So that is about 35 black victims per 100,000 black residents.

In 2018, Chicago is about 40 black victims per 100,000 black residents.

This is comparable to black victim rates elsewhere. I don't think that your gun rates are helping so much as the fact that you are a mostly white state without many urban centers.

I am not at all confident that anyone can predict when it will come well enough to avoid it.

This one really gets my goat. There are so many ridiculous laws. It’s illegal to consume alcohol in Saudi Arabia. It’s illegal in Russia to use profanity in theaters, and in Thailand it’s illegal not to play a salute to the king before every film. Besides geographical differences in current times, the differences throughout history are more striking.
The homeless problem is really a drug problem.

Tell that to the thousands of working full-time school teachers, maids, baristas, factory workers, and yes even coders who have to live in their cars or worse.

Homelessness isn't one single problem. Saying it's a drug thing is just a way for people to put their noses in the air and pretend that homeless people brought homelessness on themselves.
Arch is definitely nice, with PKGBUILDs that are basically exactly what you want.

NixOS has its Nix language, and the Nixpkgs system, which definitely takes some time and I'd even say is more cumbersome than PKGBUILDs, but it has its advantages.

But going back, building packages for RPM or Dpkg based distros does not really feel that simple or easy. I think easy packaging is something we have today by virtue of simplifying things.
The only thing that they could have contributed with is making flexible solar panels. But they didn't. Instead they just put down regular panels.

Assume they actually made flexible panels. They'd still have the issue of the abysmal efficiency due to the inevitable grinding of the surface and dirt filling up the cracks. You'd need frequent washing of the roads to keep them clean. Was that included in the energy projections?
Ah, you’re absolutely right.

Interesting, though, that their FAQ page says “firearms” are allowed while the code only provides an exception for rifles and shotguns (excluding handguns). Seems dangerously misleading considering the penalties for violations

No, you haven't missed anything; I have. The minolta16 tank, minolta16 cartridge, lomo spindle and bolex rewind key are intended to be assembled. The other files are odds and ends that mainly exist as OpenSCAD files to be incorporated into more complex machines.

Hacking 35mm or flatbed scanners to scan movie film cheaply and at high quality is something that would fill a real need for several labs and experimental filmmakers who would tolerate a longer scanning process for "free" scans.

True, but they are really set up for small businesses, not startups.
Shelters are like ghettos. You can not get out of a homeless situation by being in a community of people with no clear vision out of which many have serious drug, alcohol and crime problems.
Realistically, the best language for this is C, because everything else is too heavyweight, requires too much of a runtime, or simply isn't available most places.

Years ago I really wanted the sauce to AOL's NWN. Gold Box RPG in MMO form! I actually played it online back when AOL was $5/hr (after the first five free hours!).

At some point I talked to someone who worked at the co who ate the co who would've owned the source. IIRC someone went looking for it but it was gone/lost. There've been some recreations but man it'd be great to get the orignial.

The other k-rad 90's MMO I played, Meridian 59, got its sauce dumped relatively recently too. That was a fun read.

Hm, yes, fair point.
>The US should absolutely lock in these low interest rates to fuel green infrastructure and technology.

The best time to build infrastructure is yesterday. It's always cheaper to do it before you truly need it. Bring on the 6-lane highways nobody wants and the subway stops that nobody needs.

That said, maybe I'm just jaded from living in a dump of a state where one infrastructure plan after another gets neutered by rich people who don't want it where it should be.

The incentive for Google was always to have the web platform at feature and performance parity with "walled gardens" like app stores and native applications. Because that gets content on the web where it can be indexed, and monetised as search results etc.

Therefore, it doesn't much matter to Google if it's Chrome, or a rebranded Chrome, or Safari, or Internet Explorer that keeps getting better, as long as something does and people use it.

They will continue to work on Chrome because they support more than the Windows platform. They will also not want to become dependent on Microsoft again, especially considering the rendering engine isn't that important for their mutual competition as the rest of the browser, such as extension and plug-in architectures are.
Are they trying to confirm this?

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'll focus on #2, specifically the client dependency.

My approach is to assign projects to teams with members who can work on both the client and server layers so that the question is less of client blocking on server and more of client and server working together.

In addition, I like an "API first" approach, which in this case means building the signature of the API functions (e.g with mock data) before finishing the implementation.

That is: client is still blocked on server to define the API, but they are not blocked on implementing the API and client works closely enough with server (or is able to do both) such that they aren't blocked on the definition.

As always, many software problems devolve into people problems once you stare at them hard enough.

If you run out of RAM virtual memory means excess pages will just get written to/read from disk, usually. Which is... Not really different than what it does now, I think?
In DCL on VMS, this would look something like:

$ INSTALL /MODULE=DockerMsftProvider /FORCE
$ INSTALL /PACKAGE=Docker /PROVIDER_NAME=DockerMsftProvider /FORCE
$ RESTART /NEEDED /CONTAINERS=*
$ RESTART /SYSTEM

This is all an example to show style, not real DCL.

Part of what makes DCL great is that you use a single, consistent API to add commands and flags to the system, connect your code into the system, and then interpret them when your code gets called at runtime.

This even leads to common verbs for different purposes, making the whole system feel more unified.

Read their docs[1] especially Getting Started[2]. It's not bad, but you still need some experience administering a server and understanding of security and networking to do it.

Other automated systems like ACM[3] are very easy, but assume you've bought into a more expensive infrastructure, and often only support their (AWS's in this case) services.

And at the other extreme, there are a plethora of simple web hosting packages[4] that only serve very cookie cutter setups.

That leaves a decent number of smaller organizations or individuals that aren't really able to take advantage of automation because it doesn't support their configuration, or because they don't have the expertise to set it up correctly. So they are often stuck renewing manually.

The author of the article is a professor of marketing so I'd be interested to learn his opinion on WeWork's marketing instead of accounting, corporate structure and governance.

Adam's unconventional moves appear extremely outlandish when spelled out in the S-1 disclosures, but because I have no position I just find it entertaining. I'm looking forward to the conference calls.

I worked for WeWork for a short period of time during one of the SoftBank rounds, and one positive unconventional thing the company did was give employees with vested options the opportunity to cash out alongside Adam, rather than being forced to wait until post IPO lockup.
