If SoftBank wants to do something more productive with all that cash, I propose they invest a huge amount in some Japanese aircraft manufacturer so they can start building planes competitive with the 737MAX. The aircraft market is screaming for something like this, with the existing duopoly between Boeing and Airbus, and seemingly a new article every week about how bad Boeing is (today, it's some new whisleblower former 737 production manager alleging production problems with the plane). China is working on building such aircraft, but surely Japanese-made aircraft would be trusted much more. This would certainly be a much better use of VC money than subsidizing dog-walking.
Police departments could do this as they have done with "bait cars" to catch those who engage in this behavior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bait_car
If you do the same on dell.com, hp.com, etc. you will get a similar price or higher.
US is weirdly bipolar when it comes to internet. In some areas, you can barely get a DSL connection from a single ISP, and it will be some astronomical price of like $70+/mo (if you are lucky). If you don't like it, suck it up, because you have no other providers servicing your area. In others, you have like 4-5 ISPs, all offering fiber and at reasonable prices.

It definitely feels like it is getting better, though. Moved to Seattle and am happily paying ~$40/mo for symmetrical non-capped 1Gb fiber (both up and down). Even my family still living in suburban GA (way outside of the perimeter, not some within-the-city suburb) got fiber recently, and at a fairly ok price for the area (tho definitely way more expensive than $40/mo, and they only have a choice between Comcast and AT&T, unfortunately).
When the Levandowski deal broke, there was similarly slim details. It'll be curious to see when the legal case unfolds how Apple is going to build their case. I'd assume they have some kind of legal basis for pursuing this.
No, it’s pretty common to assume that hiding things out of site is fine. Many signs in parking lots even explicitly state not to leave valuables visible.

There have been cuts to services. That is not the same as claiming there have been cuts to funding.

What is true is that the NHS has been severely underfunded (if they want to continue to provide the same services) and that services have been cut as a result. https://fullfact.org/health/spending-english-nhs/

I would agree that this is narrow minded - and would say that this opinion is a result of exactly what you mentioned - my interaction with them being fairly limited and clinical, despite them having a direct leadership role in my org.

I would argue that this is the problem unto itself. The idea that a manager can work invisibly "behind the scenes" to create these conditions is the squarest negative stereotype of the MBA - that they are clerical, remote, number-crunchers who don't have an intuitive human grasp of the unique challenges their teams face, because they lack experience where the rubber meets of the road of their organization. I think this Boeing case conforms to this stereotype, as does my personal experience.

But I don't believe they're a scourge, or anything. I quantified it with "a lot" but not "most" ;)
That culture war nonsense is projected by media onto SF (or CA). It isn’t SF defining American culture. Again, SF may have had some cultural leadership back in the 60s but no one walks around in bell bottoms anymore. SF isn’t that different from other major cities. It has the same problems. Maybe I’m missing something but this place is way too busy to care about culture.
You're quite right: I have had no direct contact with the SF / Bay Area, nor any companies based there. I've mostly been based in major European cities, and in some cases working within the European operations of U.S.-corporates (that weren't Bay Area startups). In a few cases I've worked remotely directly for U.S.-East Coast startups.
No that is not the thing. The real value you get from self help books is continuous motivation.

There is no person I think can remember everything. Well, when you read the books you get in to thinking of those thoughts and some time you get real valuable lessons.

I also like to read same book again because it is continuous motivation and some time when you low you need that help.

That's just my thoughts and opinion.
I believe you can, but not when it’s off. It may depend on your sleep settings (“wake for network activity” or “power nap”). I’m not an expert though — just my recollection.

I just linked the first one that comes up in search results. There are literally hundreds of studies on this. I personally know doctors that have lowered blood pressure in their patients using this method. I am also reversing my CAC score, albeit very slowly, but it's better than going up.

A more taboo topic is heart surgeons arguing about the usage of Serrapeptase and Nattokinase to remove scar tissue in the vascular system prior to heart surgery. None of them can agree on whether or not removing the scar tissue makes the surgery safer or more dangerous.

So, they were vulnerable to overwhelming coercion.

What would you or I do if a man stopped us on the street, said he worked for "state security", that our parents were well and enjoying their pension in <small city>, and everyone hopes they will remain so, but that the motherland needed one little patriotic task from us just now?
This is very true. Vancouver has a huge housing issue because the main options are single-family homes (which are inaccessibly expensive) and ~20 storey condo towers (which are also inaccessibly expensive).

Then you end up with people opposed to densification because they only way that we can get sufficient density is to take this one small space and build 20 storeys of housing on it. If we wiped out one single-family neighborhood and replaced it with mid-rise residential with ground-floor commercial, it would be much more of a neighborhood and fit a lot more people sustainably.

Instead, they fight against any densification and argue that a three-storey walk-up is going to "change the character of the neighborhood" (because people who can't afford to buy homes will be able to live in their neighborhood) and now everyone is screwed (except the people who own).
A few years ago, shortly after the birth of our first child, our financial advisor recommended $350k in case we wanted a private college. We're nowhere near making that goal, nor do we have any particular preference for a private school, but it's an interesting number nonetheless.

But I think the trend to keep an eye on isn't the price of an undergraduate degree, but a graduate degree, as an undergraduate degree won't be nearly as useful as today, which already isn't as useful as 20 years ago in many fields. Indeed, both my wife and I have graduate degrees.

My wife came from a middle-class family that was college oriented. I came from a working-class/poor environment. My mom sent me off to college with $200 and a suitcase, and I subsequently paid for everything else, including housing and tuition, myself. But I barely made it through; I just wasn't culturally or academically equipped to do college. For example, my first week of school I was preoccupied with finding a job, I always prioritized working over school even when, financially, I didn't need to, and I didn't appreciate the value in developing relationships with professors (that felt more like cheating, reflecting not enough time spent studying). So what concerns me more than college right now is primary and secondary school--preparing my kids so the transition to college is seamless and natural. Fortunately, San Francisco has many excellent public and private schools. The public school district has language immersion programs in several different languages in addition to non-immersion early language programs, as well as other enrichment programs; and the parochial private schools in particular are relatively affordable--cheaper than daycare, even. (Though daycare can be crushingly expensive--whether run out of a garage or attached to a fancy private school, rates are similar--so I guess that doesn't say much.)

So the price of college? Meh. That's poor people thinking. My goal is to put my kids on a college trajectory and let that carry them through--hopefully to graduate school. Of course we'll save as much as we can, but that's not something I'm concerned about. In my hometown middle school and high school counselors often discouraged kids from college because the costs were presumed insurmountable for most families. In truth 1) they were ridiculously misinformed and misleading about the options and alternatives, and 2) setting kids up for failure whether or not they ended up going to college. Nope... worrying about cost right now is counterproductive.
Exposed Data Shows Where Police Departments Fly Their Drones
No, you're misunderstanding the law.

In CA it's always been legal to solicit employees after you left your old job. Recent court cases simply clarified that this has always been the case, and that the same law invalidating non-competes applies to non-solicits.

And the 2019 case explicitly says that a non-solicit applying during the term of employment was illegal as a matter of CA law.

Do you have any specific examples of "complex GIS stuff" (Uses OpenLayers) or a "highly interactive app" (Uses MapBox GL)?

Are there any big feature gaps from leaflet->mapbox-gl that developers should consider when choosing a mapping library?
That’s an interesting example. Some countries have laws that protect the sanctity of the confessional, but I think police in most countries could install a bug in there with an appropriate warrant (which hopefully wouldn’t be lightly issued). They can usually install bugs in your bedroom in a serious enough case, so there is no doubt that law enforcement does have a right to invade privacy. Even a regular search warrant obviously has the capacity to constitute a huge invasion of privacy.

Turkish is not an official language of the EU.

Not every national language of EU member states is an EU official language. Luxembourgish and Turkish are national languages of Luxembourg and Cyprus respectively but are not EU official languages.

EU official languages are specified by the EU treaties. In cases of enlargement, they are negotiated between the EU and the acceding state. When Cyprus joined the EU, Cyprus and the EU agreed that Turkish would not be added to the list of EU official languages.

(Also, the fact that Turkish is a minority language in BiH is of little relevance. BiH is not an EU member state, and most minority languages of EU member states are not EU official languages either.)

Is this advertised anywhere, like in clear wording? On the site, in the app, etc. If it is, good on them. If not, kind of worrying.

Simply saying "We have E2EE so you can trust us now" and not actually clarifying where E2EE is applicable in your apps is some very typical PR talk.
Proto Build Bar, the unique hackerspace/bar announced that it will be closing on December 21. It was a great resource for the Dayton area and we will be sad to see it go.

This really seems like a fixable problem, if my laptop is in sleep mode in my backpack overnight but > 70% battery, why can't it still install the update overnight?

PS4 is also laughably bad at this. It's been sitting there, plugged in and connected to internet for 6 months, in rest mode and not completely powered off. But it'll wait until I finally try to play a game to force me to download and install 50GB of updates right then.
Sure, but that's not what we're talking about here. There was even a case where we hired someone directly from my prior employer to be on my team but it was very clear that I wouldn't be involved to prevent any kind of non-solicit issues. We were also, as an organization, sued by another company, where our CRO was prior, for non-solicit issues when a large number of their sales staff joined ours. So I'm not sure this is relevant. Everything I've read suggests non-solicits are enforceable, including in CA.
Amazon workers say they’re doing “back-breaking” work without paid time off
Well, nice that it isn't soldered, but the machine is glued shut. So any work on the inside is getting expensive. When I bought my iMac, the dealer charged me close to $300 for a disk exchange.
I lived in a three-storey walk-up that was built at a shift in grade, so two of the floors were ground-level.

The top floor (us) had a small balcony in the front, and that was it.

The middle floor had a medium-sized ground floor patio out the front of the building adjacent to the parking area, and a small balcony in the back.

the lower floor had a gigantic fenced ground-floor yard that was easily bigger than the entire top floor we lived in. They were the only people in the building who had any green space.
The increasing tuition of most college is the result of intentional fraud. When the US Government computes your 'financial need', the two primary inputs are your parents' income and the cost of tuition. If your parents' income is low enough, then the government will give you a grant based on the cost of tuition. Schools that have low tuition get a smaller check from the government for the same student than schools that have high tuition. As a result, schools push tuition higher and higher, then give grants to students to cover the high costs that remain after the government grant.

For example, say school A charges $5000 per year. A low-income student is accepted and maxes out their government grants, the school can get a check for up to $5000.

School B charges $50,000 per year. For that same student, they can get $23k per year (or something like that), plus the student now qualifies for subsidized loans to pay for room and board. The school can then give that student a scholarship for the remaining $27k.

For this student, the higher tuition school is much cheaper.

This isn't a theoretical exercise, this is exactly what Universities have been doing for over 20 years.
All modern OSs were designed in the 80s, with limitations and mind set shaped by the hardware limitations.

The idea that we think China and Russia's governments are bad because of tribalism is silly.

Both of these governments operate under what's essentially a uniparty totalitarian dictatorship.

China and Russia do not enjoy freedoms that the West enjoys, which means very bad news if they're able to assert authority over us.

When I said they work in ways invisible to you, I did not mean it as they are intentionally working “behind the scenes”. It is more likely that your narrowmindedness just blinds you to all of the things they do. The work is probably all done out in the open, and in almost all cases I’ve ever seen, the “MBA types” specifically seek out interaction with and input from “rubber meets the road” folks (side note: this is another hilarious notion that MBAs apparently aren’t involved in “rubber meets the road” tasks), but it’s generally the engineers that shy away from this interaction and then blame management for being out of touch.

I assume nothing. Sleep apnea is simply one of the most common sleep disorders, and one of the easiest to treat, so it makes sense to test it out first. The sleep study required to do so will also reveal most other sleep problems that are not caused by apneas.

Falling asleep involuntarily in the middle of the day is not normal, regardless of the circumstances. Sleep problems can lead to heart problems, and preventable deaths.
It seems this is basically analyzing the running application inside the container and only packaging what's needed to make it work, at a more granular level than OS-level packages.

To add to that: many other countries subsidize or offer student loan and grant programs (including Canada) and domestic costs have not risen to the same extent. A loose example: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/13/heres-how-much-it-costs-to-g...

I think there are just too many counterpoints for the student loan thing to be accurate outside of a vacuum.

> Only the threat of an "independent" taking control of the climate if the rest of us don't act can break the impasse.

Honestly, I don't even think that would force the world to act. Human caused climate change is the largest collective action problem the world has ever seen. Its made worse by the fact that the effect lags the cause by multiple generations (or more), so all the people who were responsible will be (or already are) dead.

I'm not optimistic about people choosing to pay more money or significantly change their lives (for the "worse") to help avoid future climate effects that will only come fully to fruition after they are dead. I just don't see the economics working out here.

I would immediately stop doing business with a retailer who dared to do this. What’s next? Charging a customer N% more because he drove to your store and parking spaces are expensive? At some point you need to accept certain costs of doing business and not always be looking to segment your customers to selectively pass expenses to them.
