Kids do stupid things. But the "solution" presented, in form of increasing security measures, does not sound like a solution to me.

Maybe the schools need to change, and kids need to be integrated into the real world, instead of being retained in relatively pretty prisons with bad food until they're adults.
Banks are strict on their work laptops.
- Everything is tunneled through VPN

- 2 FA

- geofencing at VPN level (you can't take work laptop to Russia, India, China, etc)

- everything is whitelisted. Some employees can only access x.theirBank.com, everything is else blocked. This is the case with tellers, folks in the retail banking

- even for IT/dev, one should get explicit permission to get access to youtube, github

- every work laptop comes with an agent like ZScalar, which enforces these policies by coordinating with a central server.
> I've always seen this as an example of why physical/hardware interlocks are really important when you're mixing software with hardware that can easily hurt people.

Agreed. I was a developer on a medical instrument where the decision to implement a hardware interlock was made only after we were years into development and months away from product release. Initially, the belief was that we could get away with software-monitored interlocks but then the lead HW engineer realized it would be an uphill battle to get UL to certify the machine as safe. UL & OSHA want to see "hard interlocks:" systems where opening an interlock immediately cuts power and eliminates the Hazard without anything else in the control chain.

The problem was that the easiest way for the hardware engineers to implement this: by cutting power to all the controllers, was also the hardest way to manage in software.

At any given moment, with dozens of motors and actuators processing commands, all I/O controllers could have their power cut when an operator opened the cover. This meant retrofitting graceful failure tolerance (previously our code expected that these events would mean a hard fault and a system shutdown) to every single I/O command, resulting in changes of thousands of lines of code, and months of work to implement and review the changes.

In the end it was the right thing to do: the machine was rendered safe as soon as an operator opened the cover while system software kept the non-affected parts of the machine running as best it could. As wolrah suggests in the sibling comment, this was an exceptional event: the only way to recover was to acknowledge the fault and put the instrument through a restart procedure.
Looking at their pedigree, I'd hazard that the computers are geared towards running containerized workloads, so "custom cloud hardware" sounds about right.
>Who's been in charge for 16 years, and who just happens to be a military general

According to this logic, the United States was a military dictatorship for a good portion of its history. Presidents Washington, Jackson, W. Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, A. Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, B. Harrison, and Eisenhower were all generals. Your claim is absurd.
Crystal Cathedral _was_ a megachurch; by the article's own definition it is no longer a megachurch since it was acquired some time ago (10 years?) by the Roman Catholic Church. Also, it is in Orange County, California, not Texas.

> The Bay Area is, for better and for worse, the closest thing we have to a model of a progressive utopia. That means if the presence of things like homelessness, brown people, or property crime make you feel unsafe, you will feel less safe there than you will in Irvine, CA.

The thing about the Bay Area that is so frustrating is that other progressive cities in the world (mostly outside of the US) seem to do a much better job managing issues like homelessness, equality, property crime, access to education, etc, with less resources. So for people who love SF and want it to succeed as a progressive example, it's frustrating that it seems to fall short despite all that is invested.

We want _effective_ solutions. SF has unique challenges, but very few people would say it has been trending in the right direction over the last 10 years.

For example according to HUD's latest report, SF, Oakland/Berkeley and San Jose occupy _3 spots in the Top 5_ of US cities with the highest unsheltered homeless rates. NYC has way more individual homeless people than SF in total, but NYC shelters 95% of its homeless population and SF barely manages to shelter 20%. There are _more actual people_ sleeping on the streets of SF than NYC despite SF being a tiny city in comparison to NYC. It's absurd.
There's two key differences between the cable situation and the streaming situation. First, under cable, theoretically the subscriptions would all go through one provider. That's how direcTV worked (15-20 years ago, not sure if it still does), and it was a pretty cool model. Having to maintain subscriptions with a dozen streaming providers is a nightmare vs one. Amazon's channels system is more akin to it, where I can choose to pay a little extra for Shudder if I want horror content.

Second, cable channels had a genre. If you like food, you might want food network. If you like music, you might want VH1 and the MTV's. If you're into cartoons, there's Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. Bravo has lifestyle stuff, Lifetime is "womens content", G4 was tech stuff, Weather Channel is weather, etc. With the streaming choices...they all serve all kinds of stuff, so picking and choosing makes way less sense. Instead of picking interests, you're picking brand loyalties, and that sucks.

> Even in 'all-nuke' France 7 to 11% of the powergrid is produced by fossil-fuel plants.

Yeah, they're not 100% nuclear. In any case, their results are far better than countries who eschewed nuclear.

France produces one-tenth the carbon pollution from electricity [compared to Germany].

French electricity costs are just 59% of German electricity prices. As such, according to the prevailing economic wisdom, French electricity should be far more carbon intensive than German's. And yet the opposite is the case.[1]

So it seems France made a good decision. Their electricity is both cleaner and cheaper...

Only that I'm not part of the target audience: "Open to U.S. residents 13+". Looks interesting though never heard of it before. Some questions: How often can a movie be transferred, will it retain all audio streams, subtitle options and the quality that I bought? What if it's not available on any other platform or Disney (the parent company) decides to shut it down?
I remember fixing one for a maintenance department over 10 years ago. When I showed up I had never seen one before but I knew of them, and I couldn't believe one was still in use (for their work orders). It kept jamming up and I removed some part on the front, like a guide or something, and turned it upside down (it was symmetrical in that regard) and it was back to normal. Never touched one again.
Django Developer - REMOTE but bonus points if you can get to London sometimes.

Chairs and laptops are fine. Even nice ones. They aren’t what brings down a tech startup. These purchases can speak to the mentality of the founders, but they are also nice all around for quality of life. We spend a lot of time on laptops, sitting in those chairs. The chairs last a long time and hold their value well. Worth every penny. The Trips are kind of telling, though. We are a small consulting firm and have nice laptops, chairs, desks, and keyboards. Those things aren’t the problem :)
Microsoft Exploring Rust as the Solution for Safe Software
> blame tech

It confuses the issue to anthropomorphize an industry category.

I don't think it's fair to blame rank-and-file tech workers. In today's scary economy, you can't blame anyone for entering a growth industry and taking a good job that's offered. Who wouldn't want a great salary, good benefits, a safe comfortable workplace, and a stable work-life balance?

The more interesting question is why are there so many tech jobs and why do they pay so well? Facebook had 35,587 full-time employees in 2018. What the hell are all of those people doing that Facebook can pay them so much?

My hunch is that this is a consequence of perilously low corporate taxes. Giant companies simply have more money than they know what to do with, so they are throwing it any place that seems reasonable. In particular, they're trying to build bigger and bigger moats to outcompete the other tech giants. The biggest moat of all is skilled humans since it takes so long to increas the supply of them. So they're throwing money at tech workers mostly to keep other companies from scooping them up.

Being essentially on retainer is great for the people who luck into that field, but it seriously screws up the economies of the few cities where it happens. Other job categories that aren't dominated by huge companies competing for each other's skilled workers don't end up driving up wages to the same degree so everyone else gets priced out.

I think the real answer is to start taxing these companies appropriately. You can look at their current behavior as wealth distribution that only trickles down to tech employees. If the wealth is going to be distributed, I'd rather some of it go to teachers, nurses, sanitation workers, and waiters too.

Django ORM is not async so using it with FastAPI would block the event loop. I guess you could wrap the calls in sync_to_async from asgiref but it wouldn't be pretty.

Another option is using something like Tom Christie's orm project (https://github.com/encode/orm), which is a wrapper on top of sqlachemy with a django like interface.
I completely agree, and I think it's the right balance for me.
Multi-family buildings and commercial real estate are investments. Primary residences are not, and I think it’s actually quite rare for owners of a single family residence to view it as an investment the same way they view a 401k as an investment. They’re often been seen as a store of value and are definitely seen as a place to grow old in.

Whatever.
The healthcare sector constitutes 18% of our GDP, a truly insane amount. That is 7-8% (~1.5 trillion) more than it should be. Excessive end-of-life care explains almost none of that. The two biggest issues in American healthcare are:

- Zero price transparency

- Payment through intermediaries like insurance companies and your employer, who often pays half of your insurance premiums and other healthcare expenditures

With no price transparency, prices are just made up with little connection to actual value delivered. Because of the middlemen, most patients don’t feel the full cost of healthcare. Patients in aggregate still pay for the full negotiated cost, just indirectly in the form of higher premiums and forgone wages (marginal premiums paid by the employer).

At this point, Medicare for All is our best hope. A true market-based healthcare economy, as great as it may be, is a pipe dream. With Medicare for All, the government would set reimbursement rates in stone. Most doctors who want a substantial amount of patients would have to accept those rates. Unlike insurance companies, the government would not be able to aggressively increase its “premiums,” or taxes, every year and it won’t get kickbacks from hospitals for high cost care. The government would also set empirically backed standards of care that lower their cost burden with no impact on average lifespan.

We could potentially allow for parallel “luxury care” purchased by the patient if they want to be able to expedite their non-emergency knee replacement from 6 months to 2 weeks. The government would be incentivized to launch health initiatives and laws that help lower the rates of obesity and diabetes in the population. Lastly, the government would also be incentivized to increase the supply of doctors. There are multiple instances in the past when medical organizations lobbied or misled Congress into over-limiting the supply of medical residencies. They also had a hand in restricting the number and size of medical schools. So yes, overpaid, scarce medical professionals are a big part of the cost burden, and their representative institutions are making sure they stay overpaid. Only recently have medical organizations lobbied to increase the number of residencies again. That’s just damage control.

The American people should not accept compromise on healthcare any longer. That’s what the ACA was, and it did not do enough. Medicare for All will bring us in line with the rest of the developed world which has better health outcomes at a much lower cost. We can save >$1 trillion and put that money towards things like a national high speed rail network, anti-poverty efforts, government-subsidized corporate internships, and an accredited national online education and retraining platform with the best professors on every subject imaginable.

We have more food on this planet than ever before, yet people still die of starvation. All of the advancements in mental healthcare in the world are meaningless if the people who need it cannot access it, which, in our current system (at least in the US) of employer-provided healthcare, is generally the case.
1) developers can make what’s called “development margin” on the improvement of the site (fixing a house, building a multi family on top of a vacant lot, etc.). The margin is the (sale price - acquisition cost - building cost - planning cost) / (total cost).
