Just before I hit 5 years my company decided that granring a 3rd week of vacation to 5 year employees was too much. They didn't reverse the decision until I almost hit my 6th.
Why are those API's of vital importance? And would you be just as happy if those API's were ported to a different OS?
It's quotes from the CEO taken out of context, with minimal analysis. Standard fare for news media these days.

The premise seems simple though: if Microsoft is prioritizing cloud then obviously desktop isn't as important anymore.
I'm very pleased to have antibiotics, indoor plumbing, and climate control, but that isn't relevant. Being priced out of the housing market, or having difficulty finding an affordable rental are life-diminishing prospects. It's taking place, it's what is up for discussion in this thread, and it isn't millennial whining to want to be able to comfortably afford your living situation.
I support Medicare for all but I’m also realistic that it will result in a two-tiered public/private system, similar to what the UK has with the NHS and separate cash pay services and private insurance. The key is to disconnect the private system from employment where the costs and purchase decisions are obfuscated from the end consumer. When a critical mass of consumers pay out of pocket for services, the market will drive down prices and increase transparency. At least that’s the best shot at it, based on what I’ve seen.
They often are correlated though. Better brakes mean you can stay on the accelerator longer before braking, which means you usually have higher maximum velocity and faster lap times (faster lap times are literally higher average velocities, so this makes sense).
TBH I think it's normal for any person to put their own interest on first priority. The key is to hire people who actually share the same interests. I fully agree with your point actually.
Another thing to point out. We pay for the un/under-insured through high medical prices.

And as for high deductible plans. People tend to put off routine procedures and tests which then compound into more expensive procedures and care.

Look at this from the perspective of Argentina: without the tax breaks, Amazon would have probably located elsewhere. That's a net loss. I'm sure someone in the Argentinian government did the math and they probably feel good about the deal they were able to get.

And for those of you who suspect that Amazon paid bribes or delivered favors here, rest assured that not a soul at Amazon would wish to risk prison time for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
> They’re saying that big tech companies should be regulated to force them to carry speech they don’t want to, which is clearly a limit on freedom of speech.

No, because you don't have full control. I've just started using Ghost and it's pretty good. The self hosted version was extremely easy to set up on DigitalOcean, or you can go with the hosted version and get a few advantages from that.

How Much Does It Cost You to Work [video]
WFIW I didn't advocate backdooring either, I'm just asking how we, as technologists, balance what I think are reasonable and compelling goals: protect user data, and protect children.

One reasonable answer is that FB/Google/etc. should donate or donate more (Google is called out as donating already) to these organizations. I think another reasonable answer is that technologists donate our time, perhaps as 20% projects or as sabbaticals to these orgs and help them modernize.

It does seem Congress (per the NYTimes article I linked above) isn't doling out as much funding as we would like to see.

And, in fairness, children are being harmed here, and at an incredibly alarming rate. Please do read the NYTimes article. The Times is, IMO, a fairly responsible actor in truth telling.
It's like when the Republicans said in the 90s that you don't solve problems by throwing money at them.

But that's exactly how many problems are solved.
My interpretation (which could be completely wrong) is that people perceive a difference between "living with your parents" and "your parents living with you".

I think it's a matter of who is the head of the household (i.e. the person who is pulling the most weight regarding the financial stability of the household). So "young adults living with their parents" is interpreted as "young adults not becoming functioning members of society"

That said, I agree pretty much entirely with your comment.
Attaching 4x4's, or any board, as the desk legs seems like overkill. The correct way to do this is to just place the door on a pair of sawhorses.

You make the mistake of assuming the watchmen have and will always have noble intentions. Rather, you should assume that at some point, someone in power will have the most ignoble intentions.

What do you think the negative consequences are for a government to have a permanent record of every private conversation made over the Internet? Bear in mind that the fraction of all private conversations which occur over the Internet is only increasing.

You must assume that "exceptional access" really means "routine access". While the government claims it only wants access to some encrypted content, decryption leaves no trace. The NSA's collection posture is: "Sniff it All, Know it All, Collect it All, Process it All, Exploit it All, Partner it All." Does it sound to you like the NSA will sit on their hands while some other USG functionary has the Golden Key?

> Nobody really cares about your personal Facebook messages to your friends and family. You're not that important. But still considering what is being offered in payment for this privacy, it's still worth it to you?

Perhaps you're correct now. But imagine that a decade from now, you (or a friend or family member) become an activist or a political candidate. Now your incumbent political opponents have a wealth of sensitive private data to mine to find anything to imprison or discredit you. The argument extends further than your own direct interests: What happens to our political system when policymakers are completely transparent to the NSA and their political co-conspirators?

Considering the very real risks of a totalitarian government ruling with an iron machine learning model, or a silent coup by military intelligence, is it still worth it to you?
I have an alternate opinion which is compile times should be fast because it done often. Where sanitization is something you only need to do in later release QA stages. SO it can be slow and that's okay.
I spent a lot of time in Italy, and there, rather than SFH for 'good' people here, and rent-only apartments for 'bad' people there, you have a lot more 4/6/8/10 unit buildings where you own the single unit and can either live in it or rent it out. So things are a lot more mixed. I think this leads to more integration and better outcomes.
A minimal program (using C11 threads):

#include <threads.h>
int x;

int do_thread(void *) {
for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
x = i;
return 0;
}
int main() {
thrd_t t;
thrd_create(&t, do_thread, NULL);
do_thread(NULL);
thrd_join(&t, NULL);
return 0;
}

There is an undefined data race on x, since it is simultaneously accessed from two threads without any synchronization. Replace the declaration of x with `_Atomic int x;`, and the resulting code is well-defined.

Metro Atlanta. I watched 3 high rises go up in the span of a year when I worked downtown, 1 catering to Georgia Tech students and 2 for anyone (with a huge focus on young adults). The in-town area I just moved from started addressing concerns about single family homes by working with developers to build high density apartments and lofts. They passed “workforce” zoning for housing to combat gentrification[1].

I just moved from the US to France, and thought that I would get ripped off by the taxes here. But I did the exact same calculation. If you factor in Health insurance I'm much better off here (even without factoring the $4000 deductible I had in the US).

If you add free school and free university, there is no comparison, France is way cheaper.
Is this a repost? Because that one doesn't look like this one.

I wish conversations about public healthcare in the US included discussions about innovation in the healthcare industry.

We don't need to argue that consolidating buyers (e.g. single payer) has more market power and can negotiate prices down. This is an accepted principle among economists.

I am very curious about what affects single-payer in the US would have on global healthcare innovation. E.g. concepts like:

> the high spending of health care consumers in the United States is arguably funding not only global pharmaceutical innovation but is also facilitating the availability of new medicines to other countries at much lower prices than domestic consumers pay.

I think that reasonable people can hold both f̶a̶c̶t̶s̶ things in their heads at the same time

1. Privacy is important and good

2. It has almost certainly contributed to an explosion in the production and sharing of child pornography and abuse

The question is what is the moral way to reconcile the two, not to deny that either exists.
Because now 20 cars will hold less than 20 people on the average. 20 cars on the road with many of them autonomous may only have 15 or maybe only 10 people.
Housing where I live (Iowa) is perfectly reasonable, especially when compared to coastal metros. I agree that what is going on in those places isn't sustainable. I think people miss out on the fact that the housing crisis isn't universal though (which is not to say that it isn't very important in the places that it is a big deal).

This is a good point, maybe these company towns could be on the outskirts of low COL cities to balance this issue. That way you could meet people outside of the company and spouses/partners could get local jobs
Part of the problem is that Peterson really obfuscated the nature of the legislation. It was never about whether or not misgendering someone is malicious, it added workplace protections against discrimination.

Peterson, for the sake of his own career, made it into the larger debate you describe. In fairness, it’s a debate that engages a lot of people, but the legislation in Canada was never intended to affect common parlance.
Well, unless somebody is going to invest billions of man-hours in porting close to thirty years of legacy code, it certainly is.

It kinda makes sense that life insurance companies would be able to, or it would be really easy to abuse the system. You could do a genetic screening on yourself, and find out that you are very likely to die within x number of years... and then take out a TON of life insurance on yourself.

Maybe not a huge risk, but does present a bit of an interesting problem.
IMO, once you are no longer peaceful, you are rioting. You can’t claim to be protesting if you’re running around lighting cars on fire because you’re harming innocent bystanders. Once you harm someone who is not involved, you’re rioting.

> The Times’s reporting revealed a problem global in scope — most of the images found last year were traced to other countries — but one firmly rooted in the United States because of the central role Silicon Valley has played in facilitating the imagery’s spread and in reporting it to the authorities.

Clearly the NYT is laying the problem at tech's feet, and we are the best ones able to thwart this. Many times I've scoffed at the government's continual removal of privacy, but this is the first time it's sunk in. Perhaps they have a case.

As long as young people keep thinking like that, and old people don't, old people will keep winning elections.

Yes indeed, a lack of respect for people with different opinions is messing up politics, and general public discourse.
Decentralization always fails, centralization is inherent to society and human nature. That's why we generally centralize around areas that turn into huge metropolitan cities, and why 99% of git usage is on Github, Gitlab or Bitbucket. We're a centralization-loving race. So OAuth 1.0's dream of decentralization resulted in only a few OAuth providers ever lasting long.

> A carbon tax on consumers (incl. businesses) is effective at producing good market behavior regardless of how the tax revenue is spent.

In the example I reacted to, a government agency actively worked to inhibit that behavior in order to preserve its revenue. Your point would hold if governments didn't have the power to do things like this.

> Earmarked funds are stuck.

If the revenue is being raised to pay for damage caused by society, those funds should be stuck to that purpose and should rise and fall based on the level of damage being done.

Because when Apple was preparing it, it wasn’t public about it, and the then-sitting AG wasn't looking to generate news articles with his name that weren't attached to his role in acts fueling an imminent Presidential impeachment, so no similar warning note.

luxury housing doesn't have a fixed luxury price; it just tends to be more expensive than lower end housing. I just moved into a relatively expensive apartment that is at the upper edge of what I can afford. rent in this area is actually experiencing a bit of downward pressure because several new high-end apartment buildings are going up at the same time. previously I was renting a place that was much cheaper. if the new place had been $100 more expensive, I wouldn't have moved. but I did move, and now someone with less money can live in the place I moved out of. the new building I moved into has many more units than the townhouses it replaced. if enough people like me move into it, they will no longer be bidding up the lower end housing.
Okay my point was that the article very early calls out "targeting people of color" and only addresses that much later, clearly trying to get attention on that aspect. Telling people what you're doing and how much you pay them is completely unrelated to Google telling them to target people of color, though I agree lying is scummy.

But since you brought it up, how much money could they have paid to make you not feel like they're exploiting the homeless? You could have everyone read and sign complicated legalese consent forms and really just end up not giving a bunch of homeless people some money.

edit: Presumably this is happening on public property, so they have a right to take people's pictures anyway. I don't know what the laws are regarding rights to use people's "likenesses" the way many entertainment venues tell you they can, but I'd expect using it for model training is going to have a pretty low bar. If they weren't lying they're paying someone to look at a camera for 5 seconds. Hell, I'd agree to that and I'm not even concerned about how I'm going to pay for my dinner tonight.
What country will adopt this next?
It sounds like they just apply to federal law enforcement. So they could get around it by going to local law enforcement instead.
Disclaimer: I have zero knowledge of your space and I'm not sure I even understand what you are building. Non the less a few thoughts:

- What is your vision, where do you think things could be improved? Your problem space sounds complex, so I guess it's not simply solved, but you'd have some hint of where you could improve, no? If you found that, try to focus on that. Consider doing a RAT (riskiest assumption test) if you're not sure it can be done or would work at all.

- Can you scope down? I'm totally making things up here, but e.g. just for js warn on npm installs when there is an open security issue on github or something. Or just easy to select newsletters for criticals in a bunch of popular libs. Maybe you can become better than everyone else within that space.

- Be precise on what problem you want to solve and how. I'm not sure yet what you are building after all. You tell my if the open source code I'm currently using is known to be insecure?

- Do you know pain points with current solutions and address them?

by the birthday paradox the odds of incest are quite high

Let's assume his 17 kids (k) are locals.
Let's say he lives in a city with 1 million people.
That's 500000 potential other sex mates (assuming hetero)
We're only interested in people more less our age, about 20% of the population (actually much smaller), so 100 000 = N

Chance of incest = 1 - p where p = N!/(N^k (N-k)!)

Using the sterling's approximation, and that half his kids are opposite gender, k -> k / 2 = 6.5

About 2 in 10 000 chance of incest. Which are really high for something many people consider worse than death.

Now, my assumption of 20% is too generous. What if it's 10%, and he has more, undiscovered kids (presumably who haven't gotten tested)? Let's say 30 kids (it's happened)

1 in 2 thousand for every mate. You wouldn't get into a car that had those odds of a fatal accident, never mind 6, 10, 30 times.
