The biggest difference between NYC and San Francisco is transportation.

Pick three tech companies at random: one large, one medium, and one small. Make sure that at least two of them are on the Peninsula (say, San Mateo or Mountain View.)

First, try to get to them by public transportation.

Then, another day, rent a car and try to get to them by car.

Good luck as you decide whether to come to the Bay Area!

Here It Is: Atrium Founder Justin Kan Explains What Will Happen Now
Putting a bunch of nuclear waste onto a rocket (basically a dirty-bomb ICBM) doesn't seem like the best idea. Look at how many rockets, to this day, blow up on launch.

If, however, this is contingent upon a space elevator, I wouldn't give it much thought at this time.

Yup, it's an all-or-nothing package. The device maker wants Google Play (only way to sell devices)? They need to include Google Keep and Google Sheets. As far as I know, the only exceptions are Google Chrome and Google Search, both of which you can unbundle in the EU and Russia.

The 737 platform could not accommodate the more efficient, larger engines in their original location. In order to add these engines, they had to be placed in a different location and thus the plane handles differently. Thus, the requirement for additional training.

There was no way to create such an efficient aircraft on the 737 airframe without requiring pilot training, even if software could smooth over the differences 99% of the time.
I believe this is the most reasonable answer. This is purely speculative, but it is a temporal chain of events.

If you look back (web) for Robert Bigelow and NIDS, Colm Kelleher, prions, surveillance, etc. ... you'll find (pre-Skinwalker) a report by NIDS that concluded cattle mutilations were a covert surveillance for prions, present in cattle as "mad cow disease" (note Britain and BSE epidemic).

http://www.lesconfins.com/RapportNIDS2.pdf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopat...

Prions -- infectious, pathological (fatal with no cure), virtually indestructible, naturally-occurring proteins - are present in wild game as chronic wasting disease. Do any search on game hunting, annual reports ... and there's much discussion on CWD, deer, elk ... There are also numerous governmental websites / reports on prion prevalence in domestic / game populations.

Aerial surveillance -- infrared at night -- is a facile approach to tracking game populations ...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25443854

Again highly speculative, but the incidence maps for cattle mutilations / prion prevalence / those mystery drone sightings overlap.

Given the potential risk to domestic herds, humans, and economies (and the consequences of rumor and panic), it makes sense that these events connect as clandestine, molecular epidemiology surveillance efforts.
> k8s on your own bare metal at least used to be not exactly straight forward.

I actually just deployed k8s on a raspberry pi cluster on my desk (obviously as a toy, not for production) and it took about an hour to get things fully functional minus RBAC.

> What I'm saying is that Nomad is a general purpose workload scheduler

Yeah, Nomad and k8s are not direct replacements at all. Nomad is a great tool for mixed workloads, but if you're purely k8s then there are more specific tools you can use.

> I meant to write 4.4K lines

Just a small difference! Glad no one wrote 44k lines of yaml, that's just a lot of yaml to write...

> close to 12k lines

Our production cluster (not the raspis running on my desk!) runs in about 4k lines, but we have a fairly simple networking and RBAC layer. We also started from just kubernetes and grew organically over time, so I'm sure someone starting today has a lot of advantage to get running more easily.
Both of you make the point that we should be able to uninstall - not just disable - anything that is not OS.

They benchmarked several configurations, but I couldn't match up which configuration of models produced which results. I was trying to figure out if you drop the CPU power so throughput just handles one person talking at a normal pace, whether latency would necessarily get crazy high.
There is no way this adds 300K to the price of a house, and it does not take 75 minutes to charge a Tesla, more like 15-30 minutes at a supercharger depending on your state of charge. Stop the FUD.

That can become "justify your existence", but it doesn't have to. What you did yesterday can actually be relevant information to your coworkers.

It sounds like either your work culture is somewhat toxic, or else you are rather defensive.
>Even after controlling for age, ethnicity, and education, married men are decidedly more likely to be in the workforce than men who have never married. This "marriage effect" is so powerful that married prime-age male high-school dropouts generate labor-force participation rates in the same league as their never-married, college-graduate peers. Analogous but somewhat less powerful effects are seen when we drill deeper into family life: Irrespective of marital status, education, and ethnicity, a prime-age man is more likely to be in the workforce if he lives in the same home as children under the age of 18, regardless of his race or education.

This is pretty damn interesting but not all that surprising. For those whom the institution of marriage is still relevant (and those lucky enough to find a partner), getting up and going to work everyday is not a huge problem.

They say they're coming out with Android and iOS versions soon, so maybe take a look after that point to see how they've tweaked the models and if the error rates are a lot higher.
Goodnight Moon is a great children's book for a few reasons.

- It goes around introducing a bunch of objects in the room, filling the child's short term memory with them as they're introduced. This helps push other things out of mind and brings some focus.

- The pictures add depth with their bright, unrealistic colours and small scale detail. The careful eye will notice many little details.

- The book alternates between color pages and B&W, showing the child two different styles. The B&W pages heavily feature the text, helping the child figure out that those letter squiggles might actually have meaning and bear some relationship to what their parent is saying everytime they look at that page.

- All of the introduced objects are then dismissed, one by one, putting them back out of mind with some "closure" while not introducing anything new. Everything has been properly bidden (bade?) farewell and has been put away; the child can rest easy knowing it's all accounted for.

- The book ties into Runaway Bunny, and I think there's a third book too, which gives the child the nice idea that there's a universe inside the book that other books can also peek into.

It's been a staple for all my kids and I'm sure the copy will be kept for the grandkids....

As a millennial, I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Given the current state: I would rather less taxes for less benefits specifically _because_ my perception is that government is inefficient.

Two things can be true at once. It is true that having a degree allows workers to demand a wage premium. It's also true that University degrees have seen healthcare-like price inflation without a correlated wage inflation for degree holding workers. There are many causes of this, but two big ones have to do with rapid expansion of administration and pretending like the tenure system can sustain an exponential growth pattern which it was able to do up until about the 1980s. The latter trapped a lot of young people, particular in the science industries in low wage "grad student" positions which are never going to lead anywhere from a career perspective.

The fraud is that they told the middle class this was their key to financial success, or at least financial security. And yet we're talking about a massive scale debt bubble that is holding back an entire generation of young workers. It was a lie. I believe they knew it was going to be a lie. But they also "knew" the taxpayer would be on the hook, so they didn't care. That's why I think the taxpayer should shove it back on the universities by holding them accountable for selling students a lie.
Neighbourhoods built to car-scale rather than human-scale are isolating and hostile. Try walking to get lunch from a hotel or office park in suburban America and see how it feels.

Regardless of gas or electric, cars are dangerous and kill more citizens than just about anything in modern society. Furthermore, encouraging people to drive everywhere rather than walking or cycling only exacerbates the obesity crisis (another major driver of mortality).

There is likely to be a grace period involving a pragmatic discussion, before any regulation is passed. It will revolve around adoption of USB-C as a common standard moving forward, rather than the knee-jerk reaction you are proposing. The Commission's powers are subject to strict limits when adopting 'Delegated acts' which cannot change the essential elements of the law and must define objectives, content, scope and duration of the delegation of power. In any event, the Parliament and Council may revoke the delegation or express their objections.

You need to understand America on its own terms. Americans don't really believe in redistribution, so measures that look at overall overages tend to make it look worse. The healthcare sucks if you look at the averages. But most Americans have employer-provided health insurance, and are happy with it: https://news.gallup.com/poll/245195/americans-rate-healthcar.... 69% rate their insurance coverage "excellent" or "good" and 80% rate their healthcare "excellent" or "good."

If you look at the most well-off subgroup of Americans, Asian Americans, you see some remarkable statistics. Asian Americans live an average of 87.1 years, longer than people in overwhelmingly Asian countries like Japan and Singapore. Asian American kids have higher scores on the PISA test than kids in any European country, or Japan or Korea. (Just below Singapore.) Median household income for Asian Americans is double that of Japan or Singapore. Asians don't have access to a special version of America. They participate in the same health care system, the same public schools, etc. They're just disproportionately represented in the "somewhat above median" category, and America does really well for those people.

The infrastructure and public transit sucks. Which is fine. Americans don't want public transit. They want to drive everywhere. That's why we invented the drive through. The pervasiveness of driving is why Americans have some of the shortest commutes in the OECD: https://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/world-of-commu....

Affordable housing may be an issue in some American cities. But most Americans don't live there. Most live in suburbs/exurbs, or satellite cities. American mortgages as a percentage of income are on the lower side for the developed world: https://www.oecd.org/els/family/HC1-2-Housing-costs-over-inc.... 15% in the United States, versus 23% in say France and 17% in Germany. Rents are about in the middle, but a much smaller percentage of Americans rent than Europeans.

Despite paying similar amounts on housing, we have truly massive houses in the United States: http://demographia.com/db-intlhouse.htm. The average new house is 2,200 square feet, versus 1,200-1,300 in France or Germany.

We eat 40% more meat per capita than the EU: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/08/these-countries-eat-t....

Supercharger technology

Tesla logo at Supercharger station
Tesla supercharging stations charge with up to 150 kW of power distributed between two cars with a maximum of 150[13][14] kW per car, depending on version.[15][6][16] They take about 20 minutes to charge to 50%, 40 minutes to charge to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100% on the original 85 kWh Model S. The charging stations provide high-power direct-current (DC) charging power directly to the battery, bypassing the internal charging power supply.[1] The next version of Supercharging was expected to charge with more than 350 kW.[17][18]

Got it. So I understand, maybe someone saved a filename as the latin-1 encoding of some non-ASCII text, and Mercurial would need to support such files (but also would have no contextual information that it's latin-1)?

I'm tempted to say "nobody should have filenames like that", but I guess a project like Mercurial needs to be as compatible as possible. Are there modern use cases for filenames like that, or is it fair to say it's all legacy data?

Anonymity and the Presumption of Innocence
is this a catch-22? In the United States, in order to legally enter this country you must provide identification. In essence, we presume that it might be illegal for you to enter, so we must check to make sure we know who you are first.

But we have no such standard on the internet. For better or for worse, this means that people can exploit our internet and do damaging things anonymously, as we presume anonymous persons are innocent. I would argue that as a result many platforms are requiring you to authenticate because these platforms do not make such a presumption. Further, the internet is automatically becoming more closed regardless of our attempts to keep it open.

The people who are closing the internet to anonymity, are not necessarily owned by our government. In essence our internet is being increasingly controlled by parties unknown. It's hard for me to follow this course into the future and not see there will be even worse problems than we have now with this blanket presumption of innocence for all parties unknown.

Don't get me wrong. An Internet that is controlled by an authortarian regime may be even worse. It's just there seems to be a catch-22 at play right now.
Hah.. also: fear of war (with Iran) -> oil went up -> people think e-cars will be more attractive -> TSLA up.

I don't think the parent meant otherwise. Or are you suggesting that Americans looking for unskilled factory work can just move to China and get a job? Aside from the cost and language barrier and family ties and other challenges of relocating, I think legal barriers alone (visa issues, work permits) would make that hard. It's already hard enough even for highly skilled professionals to get work permits in another country.

> You chose to execute someone else's code by visiting their website.

I block JS by default until I get at least a basic understanding what the site wants to do. So I explicitly choose not to execute their code before I have some reason to trust the site.

And yet every browser has a "view source" button and extensive developer tools to give users the ability to both inspect as well as change what the website is doing. Not to mention extension ecosystems that are all about tampering with website code.

> ...and hampers innovation.

Given how the web platform is still going strong after 30 years and in fact is one of the dominant and fastest-innovating software ecosystems today, it evidently didn't.

Actually, "view source" can be a driver of innovation by giving novices an easy way so see and experiment with real-world code and a way for the broader community to quickly learn from each other's mistakes: https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-power-of-view-source/
Is there some place to find the DoJ's overall thinking and strategy on encryption? It's all fine and dandy to say "make us a golden key" or "add law enforcement access", but has the DoJ thought through what that accomplishes, and what the secondary effects are likely to be? If so, where is this documentation?

I mean, "all encryption has to have law enforcement access built in", means that only officially approved encryption can be used. How do you enforce that on a national scale? Do you spot check all encrypted comms to see if it's officially encrypted? That means decoding all your spot checks all the way and verifying that no internal/secondary encryption got applied before the official encryption.

What does law enforcement do if it's not officially encrypted? What counts as encryption? Is a compression method an encryption method? If so, does that mean only officially-approved compression methods can be used?

Are we as a society ready for the freeze in innovation that would result from following mandating law enforcement access?
Because explanatory stories aren't strictly necessary: While it certainly helps if we have them available because they allow us to reason intuitively, the hallmark of science is the predictive model.

"Not containers" for lots of reasons, depending on what you mean by "container". Docker is a crime against the computing industry. Other systems have implemented containers more competently, both within Linux (LXC et al) and without (FreeBSD jails), but per usual, without the cute mascot and the bonfire of VC money, these things go unheeded by the hype cycle.

Still, we have enough security issues with traditional virtualization, which only worsen every year as new side channel attacks are discovered. You'll find that container platforms like Fargate actually run everything in its own micro-VM because there's no other way for them to provide the basic isolation guarantees they peddle.
