The problem is that even if it is a minority contingent, it is a loud, high-turnout contingent, and local politicians generally do not want to get turfed out.

It results in farcical scenarios, like homeowners opposing workforce housing for the local school district because the people teaching their kids are too low-income to fit in. https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/10/san-jose-trying-build...
There's usually a legal distinction. Blocking does require looking at the request, but the accept/request decision is made instantaneously and is usually based on a static blacklist (or whitelist). It doesn't necessarily require logging.

Monitoring usually means logging all activity and then automatically or manually sifting through the logs to look for things, possibly much later, and possibly in response to other subsequent events.

Monitoring is considered by most people to be worse, and may come with more legal liabilities.
Not to mention the hundreds of millions of dollars in NIH funding and public university research that makes any of these drugs possible in the first place.

Andrew, will you be offering refunds to your customers who have paid for your service and will no longer be able to use it because of the acquisition?
I’m very excited about this.

There’s definitely a hole in the market for “turnkey private cloud done right” that isn’t just a massively marked-up bundle of servers that requires consultants to effectively setup and operate.

Also, If CCIX takes off, along with workload-specific accelerators, they’re in a much better position to quickly serve those niches rather than waiting 6mo to rent some cloud instance that might be making all the wrong trade-offs.
We actually did reach out to many groups including some of those you mentioned.

You would be surprised to find that “non profit” doesn’t always mean “for the public good.”

As for others that were willing to partner with us, they wouldn’t sign a no log pact so I had no interest to work with them. It’s shocking how many private VPNs are shadily logging and/or selling your data.
More like laws would be passed where ERs can turn away people in favor of some shitty hospitals that can't actually fix any issue but just give out bargain bin painkillers.

It can always get worse

My retired grandfather works at Wal-Mart part time just to get out of the house, and he said the same thing. He was working on black friday last year and was assigned to a display where the item was limited to one per customer. He said a big guy came up to him and asked what my grandfather would do if he tried to take more than 1. My grandfather told him that they don't pay him enough to try and stop people from breaking the rules, so the guy grabbed an armful of the item and left.

In the same post, the author writes: "If you want to read more about some of the deep technical problems we will be solving check out my ACM Queue articles" followed by some links. The first, on open-source firmware, even appears to be freely available: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3349301

So that may help get the necessary context for this company launch.
So this is just Box 2.0 Signature Edition, right?
> A productivity-based explanation for rising industry concentration would suggest dramatically different policies than the antitrust one does. The evidence uncovered by Autor and his collaborators buttresses the view that superstar firms are thriving because they are simply more productive than other firms, not because they have been given a special break by regulators. [emphasis mine]

And those different policies are? Regulating them like natural monopolies?

I'm in the UK, I know of no one who pays for private healthcare. You can often get private healthcare from your employer, but I believe you incur a tax cost to do so. Something something benefit in kind?
Forget 20 years, go out 50-100 years. Given a prior where we haven't annihilated the top of the food chain to give the planet a new shot at intelligent life...

We will have solved artificial intelligence and that's a game changer. It will create an age of limitless wealth. But what I wonder about is whether our hindbrains will insist on maintaining inequality in an age where everything is cheap and plentiful. And what will the AIs make of us?

Who cares about health care if there's cheap immortality? That's the best healthcare of them all. But will we make it generally available or will we try to attach artificial value to it as an entitlement?

And that's because once people stop dying from natural causes we're going to have a population problem. That means we're going to have to get off world.

That also means that climate change becomes irrelevant because if we can terraform Mars etc, then tweaking the climate of the Earth is trivial.

The one true god that has delivered on all of its promises is science and I don't think it's done delivering the good stuff. But it's also a wrathful and vengeful god in the wrong hands.

But even then, I'd rather live in the above future then in a future where we continue all of our petty squabbles over which nation state is the best. That's creating misery worldwide. We could end hunger and homelessness today for pennies on the dollar. But we refuse to do so in favor of a huge military and prison industrial complex. All that's doing for us IMO is giving other countries a chance to leapfrog us mid-21st century.

So I'd suggest you do as I am doing. Fight your own mortality to your dying breath and try to make a difference between now and your probably inevitable dirt nap because it might not be inevitable because we're heading for one hell of a phase transition (no singularity required).

No no, Purdue claimed that Oxycontin's time-release formula was believed to reduce it's addictiveness.

Which yes, is a pretty logical follow through, but also you'd expect more rigorous proof than "we think it'll do that" for medicines.

Résumé/CV: https://bitly.com/dima_cv1
Email: dima_cv1@protonmail.com

Hi all, I'm Dima (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dim25/), worked on various tech (Webdev+Python+ML) and non-tech roles.

Most recent projects:

* Analyzing millions of job postings. Orchestration (Airflow, Docker); Data gathering (Selenium; Scrapy; MitmProxy), enrichment, and analytics. [Role: Founder + core developer]

* CCTV Stream analytics (TensorFlow computer vision w/ Kurento WebRTC gateway). [Role: ML engineer]

Previously:

* Co-founder at MBaaS startup. 'Firefighter' from $0 to $120K MRR.

* Hired and managed a team of 15 mobile developers to assist with the delivery of the #1 mobile banking app in Russia (iOS + Android).

* AWM, rev-share with Kinks (guys from San Francisco Armory).

Especially good match: if you need a cost-efficient prototype; fix and deliver your machine learning or automation strategy; looking for an early-stage full-stack dev with ML experience; or have a remote team you don’t have time to manage.

People do die. Most complications due to unhealthy lifestyles are causing people to die earlier and more often, or live frustrating lives.

The alternatives really aren't that great. Yea, prick your finger every day and regulate your sugar so you don't die or get sick. Fun.

The reality is, food is designed to be addicting to sell more food, just like everything else in our capitalist society.
A literal example of the “endowment effect”?

Interesting! Which VPN providers can you recommend?
Every thread here about how it’s vanity is bananas. They’re going to build computers! With software to go with them! So that you can have the same experience that the hyperscale companies do. It’s a great bet.

This isn’t a blitz to help with fundraising: they already have the money.

They are also hiring - which is why they have a long list of principles and values, and talk about each other. They’re looking for kindred spirits.

This is a good idea, from people with a history of good ideas.
"Hyperscaler" does have a meaning in the data centre world, and their use of it here speaks to the benefits they hope to deliver, so it's not 100% a marketing buzzword.
Oh nice! Never got too far into Yoyo-ing but always wanted to! Are some of those from One Drop?
Damn... I looked for a PC configurator for several hours two weeks ago and eventually settled for a 3800X. Your site managed to get me a 3900X in my 1200 eur budget (with 64 GB of RAM). Oh well, I will buy another PC in the next six months. Definitely bookmarked!

I find the public vs private debate unfolding here extremely interesting, but I have no idea about it. What are your sources? Where can I learn more about the contribution of the private sector to healthcare, the returns on their investments, and how insurance companies affect that equation?
It's certainly true that the health care system in the US is bonkers, and there are manifest injustices in how things work, but it also represents an enormous failure in public health efforts. 4/10 US adults are obese. Only 30% of the country manages to not be overweight!
Everyone is in love with Python. Here are five reasons
The Tories in the UK have been following the "starve the beast" strategy: constrict funding to the NHS until the system starts to fall over, and then argue that privatization is the solution.
So....they would also hit a dead wall of having to prove the car was locked at the time when it was broken into? Because that's the crux of the issue here.
There is toxic waste leaking into the Columbia river from nuclear storage in Washington. (only one example) Everything else you described has a solution and can be cleaned up.

The nuclear waste is so tragic and horrific and the effects so egregious I can only imagine you are grossly misinformed or a paid troll.
"simply not having to worry about healthcare and medicine costs as a freelancer makes a huge, obvious differences the length and viability of their careers"

I've been a freelancer for 10 years and have always purchased my own health insurance in the US. When I was single, it was only around $150/month (even only a few years ago). This included Doctor visits, prescriptions, and if I had an emergency..I wouldn't go bankrupt.

If Canada and Europe are great places for startups, why do they lag so far behind the US? The reason is because while it seems great that you get free healthcare, as your company grows, it's many more times difficult survive because of the taxes and regulations imposed on you.

An increase in taxes and regulations only helps large companies because they have the attorneys and employees to handle all of the paperwork and can still survive when a large percentage of their revenue is given to the government.
Tray.io | London | Engineer Manager / Backend Engineer (Scala) / Product Manager / Program Manager | Full-time | Onsite | https://tray.io

Tray is a visual programming tool for APIs. It’s a low-code user experience that allows anyone* to precisely instrument the data flow between their SaaS tools. *No dev resources required.

We’re a well-funded startup with a team in San Francisco and 80+ in our London Engineering HQ. We have secured a huge Series C in November this year, at over 8.5x the valuation of our Series A in March 2018; we’ve worked hard on creating a fantastic support layer for our technical teams and now we’re expanding. We’re small (approaching medium sized) and dynamic, very open to new ideas and the work you do now will have a big impact on shaping how we grow our team and our product.

There’s an app out there for everything but most cloud software services are difficult to use together and doing so is very labour intensive. With our cutting-edge platform, our users can freely hack & strategise automations that leverage conditional logic and enterprise-class architecture.

Customers like Reddit, GitHub, Lyft & IBM are already reinventing how they work through Tray. Help us usher in the era of automation.

Every large corporation I have worked with in the last 10 years has monitored internet access. Some block as well as monitor. The either monitor and block via network proxies and/or via locally installed software. When done locally the logs from the software are sent to a central logging system for the software. What the corporations do with that information has varied. Some don't actively look at it unless an issue arises and some send managers regular reports detailing the internet usage of their direct reports.

There hasn't been a company of any size I've worked for in the last at least 25 years which didn't require signing an acceptable use agreement which includes notification that all activities may be monitored.

Hmm, what about this approach - monitoring adds a certain action on top of that blocked (or not) website you try to access. It gets reported, your credit/social/whatever score goes down. As a kid, you might have a talk with counselor, or your parents with principal. As working adult, you might get a warning or get fired. Your access to foreign travel, sim card, voting etc. might get altered.
