I don't think I'd want to buy anything from someone so willing to pull the DYKWIA card in response to polite messages that weren't even directed at them in the first place https://twitter.com/jessfraz/status/891200262068736000

Jessie Frazelle is not a reasonable, stable person.

E: I get that this might seem a bit harsh, but I think it's perfectly fair to call out founders for their previous (public!) shitty behaviour. Remember Mahbod Moghadam?
Haha, I think it can be tastefully done. Of course, the PC shouldn't look like a Unicorn puking rainbows, but I'm a fan of having a glass panel that shows off components with some subtle single / dual color lighting.

So yeah, I made some questionable technical decisions purely for aesthetics but yeah form is kind of important too.
It seems like they plan to do hardware-software co-design.
Devices (servers, switches?) and firmware designed specifically for their software stack.
A software stack (drivers, OS) designed specifically for their hardware.
Really interested in seeing where this goes.
Drunk driving is a misdemeanor and they have DUI check points every weekend and saturation patrols(additional units) from 10pm to 3am. I've been pulled over multiple times for bogus reasons(license plate light out) to check to see if i am drunk. Prop 47 has nothing to do with it.
I've never benchmarked against postgres, but would be interested about the results. I once tried monetdb, and it was orders of magnitude slower for simple calculations, so I stopped looking at RDMS'es after that.

I think they solve a different problem, smaller data, data/relational integrity, data mutations. Dataframes can take shortcuts here.

If you want to do a serious benchmark, feel free to contact us.

You don't really save all that much money by building a barely livable pod vs an actual apartment. The big cost items are kitchens and bathrooms. Those are mostly fixed costs, i.e. it costs the same to plumb a toilet, shower, and sink in a 50 sq foot bathroom as a 100 sq foot one. Only when you get to stupid high real estate cost does a ~300 sq foot pod start making sense over ~600 ft 1 bed or ~1000 sq ft 2 beds.

It's a bit counter intuitive, but the best way to lower the cost of housing for the poor is to build more housing for the upper middle class and up. They will trade up houses which will increase the supply of used houses driving down their price. It's essentially impossible to build something new that will be cost competitive with something that already exists.
You don't code anything in your app to get/use this feature. If you click the suggestion iOS fills in the passcode for the user.
It's worth pointing out that the ASGI support in this release is very low level, and doesn't let you write async views or anything yet. We're still working on that.
I kinda agree, but in reality Europeans are much less likely to start and run a company.
Say you have a century-old widget factory that closes (a common story here in Wales). The widget making machinery gets sold off, even if for scrap. The factory site gets demolished and redeveloped. The widget makers retire or retrain and they tell their kids “don’t go into the widget business, it’s a dead end”. All the colleges cancel their widget courses, no demand.

A decade or two passes and rebooting your widget industry will be an order of magnitude harder than it was to start in the first place.
Linear gains from exponential investments means declining returns.
Should schools be monitoring students' communications?

No, but these are important lessons for kids to learn.

1. Don't trust somebody else's device, such as a school- or work-issued device.

2. Learn to use social media responsibly. Your public social media output is.... public. Don't put things on social media if you don't want them potentially used against you.
We have the second amendment because - as it states - private ownership of militia-style weapons is "necessary to the security of a free state." So, I would ask you to please consider both sides. There are risks to having guns when you don't need them, but there are also risks to NOT having them when you do. I think it's fair to say that if you ever do "need a gun" then you really, really need a gun.

From my research civil wars tend to kill 2-3% of the population, with untold more maimed, displaced, etc. In the US, that would equate to 8.2 Million dead. That's hundreds of years of "gun violence."

The other thing I would ask for is a bit of humility. I've never fought a war, started a revolution, overthrew a government, formed a new one, had it fail, formed a second one, etc. but the people who wrote and adopted the second amendment did (and by a 2/3rds majority). So I'm really not qualified to say what "the security of a free state" depends on, and with all due respect neither are you.
Closing the loophole of a negative externality absolutely would generate revenue that could be spent elsewhere. Carbon taxes are a perfect example.
>To me the upsetting part is that these kids must feel unsafe / monitored.

Many larger schools have their own police officers, because they have to. My fiance is a high school teacher and just out of her classes in the past 2 months she's had one student arrested and expelled for bringing a firearm to school and another for bringing nearly a pound of marijuana (in a state where it is illegal at the state level) to school. Earlier this year they had two students expelled for having sex in a classroom after school while filming part of it with one of their phones.

Even from 1998-2002 we had school police. We had multiple people dealing marijuana, MDMA, LSD, and probably other stuff I wasn't aware about. We had several students investigated pre 9/11 for threatening to deploy pipe bombs at the school, we had more than one overdose (all MDMA I think), I'd watch a girl in study center once or twice a month sit there and rub her face the desk or her binder with pupils the size of saucers, we had students drinking on school property in the middle of the day. We had at least one student that I know of on an ankle monitor for most of high school. If you went out for a sport you would be drug tested regularly, without notice, pulled out of class at random and people would occasionally fail. While we had students doing FFA and being volunteer junior firefighters after school we also had people with extensive juvenile records and children.

When I was in middle/high school 16-21 years ago you could buy drugs/pornography/bootleg cdr movies/alcohol/other things that were age restricted like ephedrine (we abused ephedrine so much I have no idea how I didn't have heart failure) in the hall or bathroom between classes just by walking up to any number of people. I've found talking to people this is not a unique experience and most of the same is still occurring in high schools right now.

Many schools across the country simply are not utopian dream lands. If I had kids, I'd be 100% fine with them being forced to have clear backpacks and I'd go a step further and suggest they only be allowed to and from their locker upon arrival/departure and not allowed between classes. It's one small step that considerably reduces the risk of a kid lugging a weapon, explosive device, non-personal use amounts of drugs. Sure, I could have hidden a small arsenal and a large quantity of drugs on my person between my hoodie and jnco jeans in high school but a clear (or no) backpack drastically reduces the likelihood of these things being taken to school.
0.01% per day is not 3.65% per year. It's close, but that's not the correct way to combine probabilities. (If it were, flipping a coin twice would be guaranteed to produce a head because 50% + 50% = 100%)

For calculating probabilities, it's much easier to work in fractions than percentages, so I'll convert 0.01% to 0.0001 and equivalent for other percentages for the remainder of this comment.

If every day of the year, 0.01% of cars are broken into, the probably of being broken into is 0.0001 and the probably of being safe is 0.9999. To calculate the odds for a year, you need to take the being safe probability to the 365th power (0.9999^365). That gives 0.9642. This is the probability of being safe from break-ins for a year. You can subtract from 1 for the annual odds of being broken into: 0.0358.

0.01% per day is 3.58% per year. Also can continue to get longer term odds. Break-in chance is 30% over 10 years. At 19 years, it's 50/50 whether you'll be broken into. At this term, you get a big deviation from the incorrect calculation, which would give 0.01 * 19 * 365 = 69.35% chance of break-in over 19 years.

Of course, this ignores the uneven distribution of break-ins, etc., etc.
ok boomer.

There is no other house. We are stuck with the one we have and it is up to all of us to fix it. Tearing it down will only make things worse.

Tearing down systems has been the hallmark of the boomer generation. From social norms to banking regulations the children of the greatest generation have laid waste to the security created in the wake of the great depression. The problem is that after destroying these systems in the name of peace and love, they looted the corpse and walked away. The boomers only tear down and then never offer to build again.
I'm sure its three since fossil fuel lobbies are certainly involved.
Fun anecdote. I was living/working in San Francisco a couple of years ago. It was 10am on a work day. I was walking towards my office, along Folsom coming from the 101 towards 8th. Out of nowhere a guy just walks up to one of the cars parked on the street, smashes the rear window, and starts taking whatever was inside. There was several homeless people nearby just casually observing it, along with myself. The perpetrator clearly gave zero fucks and undertook the whole thing as casually as one might stop to tie their shoe on the street. It was a little surreal, and I was already desensitized to the ... interesting characteristics of SoMa streets by that point.
Care to shed some light on internet history?

How did Oracle kill the Sun blogging culture? What/Who was the Sun blogging culture?
Well there's no actual async support for views in 3.0 - we missed the cutoff due to performance concerns! Hopefully it'll be in 3.1.
It's still a security risk – code is running in the ME that can be exploited locally.

Without vPro or with remote management and the network stack turned off there's a much smaller (probably close to zero) remote attack surface. With a vPro-capable chipset that has remote management enabled, the ME has its own IP address, plenty of potentially unsafe services, an insecure-by-default provisioning mechanism and much more.
Monitoring and blocking are entirely different.
Funny this article coming from the Guardian which I believe is a British publication. And London being the only city in the top 10 for surveillance outside of China. https://www.comparitech.com/vpn-privacy/the-worlds-most-surv...
I've read the whole blog announcement and couldn't find anything but PR stuff for investor consumption.

The garage thing was too much for my taste! It's like trying to forcibly resurrect Apple or HP's first years in the 2020s.

Do people still need physical presence in a garage to get things done? Working remotely is now an established practice...
Put a different way - isn't it nice to know that the only thing you have to do to avoid being jobless is to spend five minutes proofreading your submissions?
I'd argue that there isn't anything hugely different from this tech and other kinds of tech. We invest way too much in this term 'AI'.

The Army has some pretty ugly weapons for crowd control, we don't use them on civilians because it's just not proportional.

I don't even see this as an argument about tech, but simply an age old question of force, legality, proportionality and context.

These 'SWAT' clearings are actually one of the uglier scenarios, because both sides are primed for violence; element of surprise, people hidden around corners, heavy weapons, civilians, adrenaline, a hair-trigger / reaction away from weapons being used - literally the worst scenarios in regular public life and we create them ourselves.

My first reaction to these robots is actually positive: with the AI dogs out front, there's a much bigger gap between adversaries, the cops have much more information, and there's much less likely going to be a shoot out. It might be possible to know forcefully clear a flat without having to pull a trigger, which is at least a positive opportunity.
I'd have to go to my fathers house to find the stack of VHS tapes that were duplicated from rentals. Meanwhile I have my own modest stack of DVDs that I copied in the 2000s using whatever generic DVD ripper was available for windows at the time. I recall once or twice being unable to rip a DVD for copy protection reasons but it was rare.

Either there was no copy protection, or the copy protection was so trivial to circumvent that I never even knew it was there.
They’re not selling you anything, they’re raising money. I’m sure investors are getting the details after signing NDAs.
I think part of the problem of polarization is distrust in the respective other political isle. Constant surveillance and constant crises are probably key drivers here.

Some say it benefits security, but I think the calculation is flawed. You will never get engaged citizens in a open-air prison. People implementing these policies should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
> why do you feel that you need a gun?

A. In a free society, I am not required to justify my choices. I don’t have to explain my “feelings” about anything.

B. “Need”, there is that word again. In what ways are enumerated rights dependent on needs? If something better than a gun existed for personal defense, I’d want that, I don’t have to explain my “need” about anything. You seem like you are confusing rights with grants and privileges.

So you either don’t actually understand rights in the US, or you are arguing in bad faith because you just don’t like them.
This is what I was hoping/imagining.
I find that art is an effective counter to nihilism, and I do enjoy the irony of liking Dadaist and Surrealist art.

When nothing you do matters, everything you choose to do anyway is art. So try not to make ugly art.
I'm not sure what Oakland is doing is actually a major change. It's like something just triggered the money to flow to finish a bunch of projects in the east bay. But the spigot could just turn off again.

There's something broken in city planning that seems to be the largest hurdle to addressing affordability. Cities seem to want to have a box with a label on a map that doesn't change much. Then, if something changes within that box, there needs to be this big massive process. The "real fix" might be figuring out how cities can work on a smaller scale, not with these massive projects.

Just look at the report for the Oakland plan: https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FINAL_DOSP-Publ...

I'm struck by how much it must have cost to even generate that plan. And, there's a ton of goals, but no feedback loop. As the plans are implemented over the next decade or two, how do they know what's going well and what isn't?
not true

The CDC report gives a much better view of these findings [0]. I would really suggest reading the report. It is not jargony and takes maybe 15 minutes to zip through. They really put a lot of time into making it accessible and it shows.

In reading that report some things that I noticed are [1]:

Pg. 8: Alzheimer's Disease caused deaths for both males and females increased a fair bit! And for males, Unintentional Deaths also increased recently. Note that the Y-axis is in a LOG scale; any movement upwards is a lot.

Pg. 10: Yeah, Juul and the like really are hurting children. Grades 2 & 3 Obesity are increasing too. Both are not good.

Pg. 11: Asthma in black children has gone up a fair amount.

Pg. 14: West Coast and Virginian essential vaccination is under 2/3 babies (3 years or younger). That is WELL below herd immunity. New England, Deep South, and Plains states are above 3/4.

Pg. 21: Ages 15-44 have seen an uptick in mortality. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale, so it's been a fair bit of an uptick.

Pg. 22: A big uptick in infant mortality due to unintentional injuries.

Pg. 23: ... Jesus ... a huge increase in child suicide rates and an increase in teen homicide and suicide rates. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale.

Pg. 24: HIV deaths are WAY down (!), unintentional injuries and liver cirrhosis are up.

Pg. 25: Alzheimer's deaths in the elderly are up a fair amount.

pg. 26: Holy shit ... overdose rates are just ... wow ...

pg. 27: Appalachia and New England ... good Lord ... I mean, you hear things about it all, but wow.

pg. 29: Cirrhosis deaths in middle aged men are really climbing. The booze, it ain't good.

BTW here's the scihub link for the JAMA article that the NYT is talking about: https://scihub.bban.top/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

[1] this is mostly a summary that I posted here 38 days ago when the report first dropped. Seriously, just read the CDC report!
And indeed those £2,400pa of rent give you a room with plumbing, central heating and hot water...
I suppose if you're comparing 2018 to 2008, then sure. But that seems cherry-picked, since it looks like shootings were more common before then. Then you also have to consider that the population has been growing, so per-capita shootings might be down? And then there's the question of whether body-count is going up. I think combining all of these factors makes the data-set very noisy. I'm sure that OP has the best intentions and likely believes that schools are more dangerous than 10 years ago, but I don't think the data bares that out.
On the bright side, next election people are going to be fed up and elect someone who takes crime seriously.

There has to be a workable medium between progressive soft on crime, don’t blame the criminal and 3 three strikes tough on crime stances which make people irredeemable.
Right. I get the sense that most developers browse with adblock on, but the average user experience is for their computer to be effectively running Prime 95 during regular web browsing.
Yes -- and, what's gone wrong with the process? I'll defer to subject experts on the T-25, but most such disasters (737Max, Shuttle, bridge collapses) combine some noxious brew of:

- Wishful cost and schedule "estimates" as a precondition for project approval.

- Feigning of current technical expertise as a job requirement for management.

- Hiding of real issues by lower management, for fear of a "shoot the messenger" reaction by upper management.

- Regulatory capture.

- The allure of the "plausible deniability" defense, ever-rising with ascending level of management.

The highest levels of management involved are of course boards of directors, and national legislators. And when was the last time any of us heard a "mean culpa" from either of those?
>They flag private emails as well, is that not a violation of privacy?

No. If you are using a school/employer provided email account you should be using them for school/work stuff. If you are using a school/employer device, you should be using them for school/employer stuff.

If you want to tell Jack or Jane that they fuel your fire and you want to do sexy time or that you violently soiled your pants and wondered if they could bring you their gym shorts to the upstairs bathroom then use your own device on your own service.
Legitimate mestizos enjoyed privileges. Otherwise they had to stay close to their parents.

But native women could not represent themselves in court so they could not challenge a Spanish man to recognize their children.
How can you block without first monitoring what sites people are trying to access?
As wind/solar scales, it's likely to get more regulation. There will be fires in battery facilities. People in San Bernardino county will put a moratorium on large solar installations in the desert due to dust storms, etc. This kind of thing always happens, and with wind/solar it will be because they take up so much land and raw materials. Nuclear was once a wonder energy source (in 1958), but as it scaled it ran into troubles. There is some probability that this will happen to wind/solar too. This will slow them down (due to permitting) and increase costs. Intermittency is their boogeyman. When you have enough solar to power everything at noon in the summer, each additional panel becomes a little more expensive than the last.

EROI is just energy system output/manufacturing energy in. How is that a function of price?
Quake III Arena was released 20 years ago today
I don't know your age, but from my experience this is a generational thing. During the great suburban expansion, houses were parroted as your greatest asset and your biggest investment.

In the modern era, if you don't own a home already you probably couldn't care less about the investment quality of a home. You just want a home to live in and call yours without an 80 minute commute.
I've relied on PIA for years and I'm 100% dropping them for good. They promise to never log, but that's clearly an empty promise. Their TOS says that they can change the terms at any time without notifying anyone. This new partnership with Kape is an intelligence operation with the 14 eyes. A spy never becomes a "former" spy. I love my country, but I love my rights as well, and I refuse to be surveilled illegally.
Yep, a child of the late USSR here, but my parents lived through its peak. Your dad's explanation makes a lot of sense.
> To say that he is an ex spy is a gross misstatement. Yes, he worked as a developer in Israeli SIGINT program

This makes him an ex-spy. There's no prejudice or judgement in saying so, it's simply true.

Germany has barely made it to the 30 year mark of “not being a dictatorship” if you count the East. America has been one of the freest countries in the world for at least 150-some years.

The post has a photo of the actual garage in use. https://blog.jessfraz.com/img/garage.jpg It specifically says: "In typical cliche computer company fashion we have been working out of my garage."
I have a more optimistic view. Bernie Sanders’ campaign explicitly asks people if they are willing to fight for people they don’t know, and his campaign has the largest donor base and the biggest rallies.
Robots will be performing arrests in 20 years.
Maybe not any more? You can hire internationally now, its never been easier to research widgets. New technologies and manufacturing techniques make it a whole different widget ballgame anyway - you probably wouldn't do it the same anyway.

In fact, many industries reinvent themselves periodically just to stay current. Restarting a factory can't be much different.
Yes, there is. according to this (https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/25/netdata-a-monitoring-start...):

"In addition to the open-source version of the product, there is a SaaS version, which also has what he calls a “massively free plan.” He says the open-source monitoring agent is “a gift to the world.” The SaaS tool is about democratizing monitoring and the pay version is even different from most monitoring tools, charging by the seat instead of by the amount of infrastructure you are monitoring."
