> * ...but the idea that space is expanding implies an outer "edge"

Space expension just means that the metric used to measure distance increases with time. It doesn't imply a border.

Consider the function equivalent to the Euclidian distance on a line :
d(x1,x2) = sqrt((x2-x1)^2)

Now, you can consider the function :
d2(x1,x2,y) = y * d(x1,x2)

If you view x1 and x2 as positions on one axis and y as a position on the other one, you can think of d2 as the distance between x1 and x2 expanding as you go higher in the plane.

Space expansion works in the same way but y is actually time.
You can, you just might have to settle a little bit. Falls Church has the lowest poverty levels in the US, so there really isn't a bad neighborhood. There are currently 106 homes in Falls Church with 3+ beds and 2+ baths priced under 1.5 million which should easily be doable for a household making $500,000+.
The next best commute after a telecommute is a 15-minute walk.

I lean libertarian, but sometimes realty breaks that.

True libertarianism dictates that I can ban whomever I want from my shop. But in reality most of the bans were of the 'No Negroes' variety. I would love to think that the free market would take care of discriminatory businesses, but history shows it will not.

I agree that the true issue is ultimately monopoly: if a town has 10 newspapers and one goes democrat-leaning, no one would really care. But it's different if there is only 1 newspaper.

I worry that there can only ever be a single Friendster/Google+/Myspace around, because people will always gravitate towards the most popular one.
Rural WA'ian here. There's plenty of rumours of a "panther" around Nannup; no US Airmen story, it was just a really big black feral cat the size of a panther.

From what I've seen personally, feral gets can get BIG. Like mastiff-sized. So I tend to believe these rumours but take their origins with various grains of salt.

It doesn't carry a lot of weight, but it's better than nothing.
That's incorrect although an intuitive mistake.

The situation A is actually better, for 90% of the people.

The single outlier is not relevant when it comes to buying power, he doesn't move the market upward. Housing, food and commodities are needed by everyone so it's fixed by the 99% and accessible to everyone.

On the other hand, that's a new market class when there are enough participants like example B. They're going to compete with one another to get all the nicest houses, locations, cars, food, etc... that will be adjusted higher in proportion to what they can pay.
Because a whole bunch of chips you want to use are on I2C. And/or you want to work with a large number of devices, and a chip select per is a lot of GPIO to burn on this. Also you're going to want to handle errors and bad devices on SPI, so it's not like that's new work anyway.
Cherokee also have representation in Congress because they have senators and representatives that they vote for every year just like everyone else.
Your calculations are based on an erroneous model. Corporate profits are taxed twice. The effective tax rate of dividends can be as high as 39.8%. I'm not sure what typical numbers are, because I couldn't find 2018 data, and 2017 data predates significant tax cuts.

Telling people not to discuss politics at work IS discussing politics at work.
Very much agree with this, and I tend to make similar decisions, including strongly preferring CSS in JS frameworks.

The one item I'd caveat though is colocation of state. The author is right that often it is best to colocate state with the component that needs it. On the other hand though, often the state cannot be decoupled in this way and you have interactions between states of different components; in these cases, it is often better to colocate all the state together in one place. That is the essence behind e.g. stores like redux in web programming.
How sad that, even in 2019, 99% of people are excluded from the top 1%!
The worst possible comparison as both parks and kitchens are usually paid by the government, government takes its money from the taxation system. Meaning if you pay taxes you contribute to these facilities, thus it is fair for you to use governmental facilities and services, you might even call it a right to use those.
That makes sense a lot of sense and I agree.

I don't specifically have any reason to try and defend the point of the article, but it sounds kind of fun anyway. Really I think the article is taking aim at the notion that buying a home and holding it will mean the owner makes money, though it doesn't specifically say this.

I believe if you were to ask somebody who was looking to buy a house 20 years ago they would actually be convinced it was a good way to invest. At least I've had multiple people of older generations tell me this. Why though? I believe that was because of the increase in value of homes in the coastal USA post-WW2 [1]. Home values grew quite substantially between the 1950-2000. I believe that since people were forced to consistently pay into a mortgage to own the home, it forced people to put money into a fixed asset consistently. I suspect it was billed as some kind of weird saving or investment strategy because of that.

So yeah, you're absolutely right. But I do think that's what this article and conversations around this point generally are aiming at but forget to mention.

That money does not come without cost: competitiveness at work, imposter syndrome, unreasonable deadlines, on-call rotations. Not to mention that you'll very likely be working for a mega-corp trying to improve some abstract metric for your division by 4% so they can sell more ads for more dollars. I don't know what your current situation is, but consider carefully what you would be giving up to get those dollars.
It takes a huge amount of privilege to be able to talk about politics at work. The despised minorities, like zoophiles, would not only be fired but arrested with the whole office cheering that on.

Something I find pretty odd given that fucking a cow is a lot better for the cow than eating it.
Bitcoin appears to be highlighting the issue of how we price dirty energy vs clean energy. There is nothing Bitcoin miners would like more than for all energy have the correlated carbon tax associated with it in the price.
That's one of my big arguments for banning and confiscating handguns.
It's interesting to see this valuation on search as a service, given the leader, Elastic, is in obvious valuation trouble. The market is unimpressed: the Elastic stock hasn't net moved higher since mid January (so most of the time they've been public).

Just take a look at the actual business performance of Elastic.

$271m in sales for the last fiscal year. Negative $101 million operating loss. Pretty bad, although not extremely unusual for SaaS companies in high growth mode. So there must be great growth going on, right? No.

They added a mere $9m in sales last quarter. $89m in sales with a $42m operating loss (whoa). They added an additional $10m in operating loss and gained a mere $9m in sales.

So if they can keep up that rate of growth, they might generously add $45-$50 million in sales this year. Maybe 16%-18% growth for a company bleeding red ink, that isn't particularly large in terms of sales yet (ie they're struggling to generate fast growth at a small'ish scale). And all that needs to support trading for 20 times sales on a business that is a decade old and has never produced a profit.

Either they find a lot of growth soon or in the next market down cycle Elastic is worth 1/3 to 1/2 of what they're trading for now. The same will probably go for their lesser peers. The clock is starting to tick hard on these extreme valuations (hello WeWork, Uber, Lyft).
So you create the intrusion, then you can extract the various sub-critical pieces that if combined precisely (in position and in time) creates a nuclear explosion.

It’s discrimination either way. The subjectivity is just about whether or not it is deserved. Some people think certain races or sexes deserve it, which is deplorable but technically subjective.
I've seen unit tests that create a bunch of mocks and stubs and test that the stubs are getting called a certain number of times given the initial assumptions. At this point, the tests were like a copy of the original method, such that if you wanted to make a change, you would change the original method and then make updates to the test so that they'd sync up. Yes, this is how most testing is, but it felt different in that you weren't just updating expected output, you were updating multiple calls.

This was stupid. It looked and felt like nonsense and gave me no confidence that the tests would catch an error beforehand, they seemed to just catch that the code changed. (I'm curious if there's a name for this pattern of testing.) Bugs still made it to production, past these tests. This was a form of technical debt.

So if you have tests like these, if this habit of "unit" "testing" has somehow proliferated your code, I think you should kill that with fire and replace those tests with something sane.

Of course, there are certain central functions that I think need to get unit tested ten times over for every single possible edge case. I can't describe how you know what these functions are, but I'm sure some smart person out there can. Any 'utility' function that isn't strictly tied to an object or model or business logic (e.g. you made your own string concat method for some reason) needs to get tested outside of the context of integration tests.

Anyway, good luck. I've seen the internal debate of unit vs. integration tests more than once. When this has come up, it's because the org has allowed shitty testing habits to exist (in the form of technical debt, maybe like what I described above, or something else) in the first place, and instead of fixing the habits, "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" is the solution.

You're not paying down technical debt by getting rid of the tests, you're just creating a different kind by having integration tests that will not catch edge-cases, which will eventually come up later in time.
Yes, because someone earning 500k totally started earning that sum right out of college and will never get married or have kids...
Interesting... in my area (NYC) I only hear people say it to mean 14 days. I suppose the rationale is to think of "bi" as "two" (precisely as you'd do for bicycle, bisexual, binomial, etc.) rather than as "twice" and then the ambiguity disappears. Counterexample supporting ambiguity: the word bisect, which means two sections, but can quite easily also be thought of as halving!
The people making more are producing more housing, food, and commodities.
Not to mention child sexual abuse scandals in these communities in the NYC area.

Edit: hadn't seen an earlier poster's comment on this, my bad.

Edit 2: it's worth mentioning that the fraud/welfare issue is a massive political hot-button topic in Israel: many Israelis resent having to pay taxes to support hasidim who in many cases don't contribute to society: they don't serve in the army, they don't work, they don't go to university, but they have lots of children and get welfare for them and themselves. Current electoral brouhaha over there is at least partly driven by related issues and the overall religious-secular divide. It's fascinating reading!

Why does Yahoo always shut down their most useful products? They shut down Yahoo Boss Geolocation services, which at the time was among the most accurate geolocation services (look up an address, and get a latitude/longitude position). Besides Google which was more accurate, but had a restrictive license on their API, it was the best out of all we tested.
AFAIK Turkey’s army is NATO's biggest and quite modern by any standard, hence Israel may want to stay out of such a conflict.

Neither US nor Russia have had a war at this scale since WW2.
I don't enjoy balancing parentheses in Python so I tried to bring Clojure's threading macro into the language...

def do(x, fs):
for f in fs:
x = f(x)
return x

Which allows left-to-right style programming

do(list, filter, partial(map, int), sum)

I haven't put this into production code yet, but love pipelining scripts with do
More realistically, if you get a 5% return on your investments (or ~2% after inflation), in 43 years you'd have $14,663,123.

I'm lucky enough to be making ~$400k at 30. At 21, I was lucky enough to be making $65k. Virtually no one starts off making $500k. Even if you start at the top 1% of income earners and stay there your entire life, live relatively frugally, never have kids, never take a break from work, and invest well -- even then, you're still unlikely to accrue $10M in wealth.

I agree gender is irrelevant here. I'd even go so far as to agree that there may be more than two sex states on individual bases (multiple X or Y chromosomes, different levels of testosterone, hermaphordism, chimerism etc). But these are neither particularly common nor genetically transmissible and thus do not exert pressure on the nature of sexual dimorphism. Sex can be modelled quite accurately with a single binary bit even in individual cases, and entirely accurately for species in evolutionary terms. Distributions and multiple dimensions have not shown themselves to be useful. If you disagree I'd like to see references to the relevant research papers.

I don't mind recognizing any individuals uniqueness or their socially less-privileged situation for social or political purposes, but it shouldn't have any affect on the science of sexuality which should just reflect nature as it is.

Sexual dimorphism in animals can be dramatic. The male angler fish is a tiny parasite, the dramatically larger female does all the angling work. And we aren't seeing non-binary angler fishes. If none of the other species are coming up with non-binary specimens, why should we assume humans are any different?
Not all decisions are good decisions, it depends on who makes the call. In most cases, someone ask you to use a solution because it looks/feels better. In this case Algolia showed how fast and how well it could be implemented. Once the person who takes the decision is convinced it will be implemented. It's mostly marketing. Probably less than 1% of all e-commerce websites measures the impact of a decision.
Of course I can see. People’s sense of entitlement means we are all doomed. Mass extinction is always someone else’s fault, not my problem.

My GF's dad said where he he lived in the Midwest there used to be a small store at each major cross roads. About every 5 miles.

Cars came and every other one died and there was a store every ten miles.

Then they paved the road and it was every 30 miles.

And then the interstate when in and only the major towns every 60 miles apart survived.

What's the benefit of encrypting your DNS traffic to the ISP? There isn't anyone between otherwise they'd be your ISP. The point of DoH is to provide a way to configure DNS to something that isn't the ISP without the ISP being able to block it, snoop it, or intercept it. There is no separating the concept because if you're doing it to the ISP then the reasons for doing it are now invalid.

Also "not the ISP" != "non-system dns". Don't conflate that just because browsers were first/most famous to implement.
Thanks for the response and involvement in this thread, it really shows how committed you guys are to providing a great user experience.

The specific use-case I have in mind is that when a commit made I'd want to run various checks on configuration files in the repo to make sure specific conventions are followed and that certain file references exist. Upon a merge I'd like run a build process and send the build files to Heroku, Digital Ocean, or AWS.
Directors are equivalent to staff +1 or staff +2. Staff engineers are usually equivalent to 2nd level middle managers, with 1st level are managers of teams that are just ICs). Jr Engineers can be 30-50% of an engineering organization. So it's not that impossible.

Depression can be seen as protection mechanism that reinforce rigid thought patterns in order to avoid runaway (psychosis, mania). So anything tiping the balance in the other direction allows to deprogram those behaviors.

I recently got a TinyFPGA-BX, and have been slowly working through the tutorials. The amusing thing is that, for the actual applications I'm working on, a contemporary microcontroller can actually keep up just fine, and is easier for me to comprehend.

Not all deserts are inhospitable. Sure some are ovens or have moving dunes, but many are habitable, if water is available (most iconic example is an oasis). But lots of dry places are inhabited, just look at the Arabian peninsula or the Sonoran desert —and elsewhere. But water tables get exhausted and you do what Israel does or, well, there is no alternative.
Why didn't you use the good offer from Twitter to push Google up?
"Spending less" was not really what happened there:

"Although Canter gave up on getting the display ads approved, he did keep paying for the Google search term “Angela Merkel,” which it linked to the Oath Breaker site. The Merkel campaign could’ve paid Google more money to displace the ad, but, to Canter’s disbelief, it never did. “We’ve been running search on Merkel’s name, calling her ‘Oath Breaker,’ and pointing to a very ugly website about her,” Canter said, laughing. “If it was us, we’d say, ‘You need to invest to get that ad bumped down.’ ”

For US Americans this might not be anything out of the ordinary, after all, "money=speech" and political campaigns mostly focusing on tearing down the opposition have been the norm for decades.

But for the German political landscape, where political parties are publicly funded to ensure a somewhat level playing field (at least in theory) this is a complete perversion.

Particularly the change in tone in the political discourse, it's become extremely toxic, apparently in no small parts due to the introduction of US American campaign tactics.
As you definitely ought to know if you had any idea about this topic I run a complete Log Monitor for my employer these days and so in that sense I am watching all of the public logs.

I also run smaller monitors and auditors for my own interest as an active participant in m.d.s.policy. Which is why it's always weird to hear your version of what goes on there, since you don't participate and seem to base your understanding on something like a tabloid newspaper report or a Hollywood script rather than the reality.
