Even 5.5% would be a big deal for many people. Minimum wage is about to hit $15 in california, so 30k/yr netting you another $1650. 4/10 americans can't come up with $400 without selling something or incurring debt; this would at least be breathing room.

I agree that parceling it out piecemeal might not be the best way to spend that sum. $462b could be put into an education or infrastructure trust, and pay dividends towards our schools, public housing, roads, and transit networks. And that would be $462b per year dumped into this trust.

I just learned about the Niles Film Museum a few weeks ago; I think it was on the bay area podcast?

How about you are not the target audience?
That's sounds more like "here are a bunch of new features coming soon" rather than reviving the project.

Will anything significantly change in contribution activity going forward? Are there again some people working full-time on Sandstorm, which is realistically necessary for a project of this size? The announcement doesn't say anything about that.
Really doesn't matter how fast it is if it doesn't work does it? Don't let all the impressive CNN results fool you, we are a long, long way from doing human level vision.

There's a reason everyone else uses lidar...
If you work for an SF company, you don’t have to worry about healthcare either. As far as “high powered weaponry,” that’s just hyperbole. Toronto has a higher homicide rate than New York. https://www.blogto.com/city/2018/06/toronto-homicide-rate-no...
I've worked with plenty of people who had no business working in IT, but some of them were smart enough to recognize that they could benefit from education, so I taught them how to correctly and properly program in shell. Others were just insecure assholes who didn't care about working with computers and were in IT just for the money but didn't want anyone to know they're incompetent (even though it was obvious). Those always wanted to needlessly spend money on buying shitty software or using "tools" like "Ansible".
But can you just turn your datacenter off and not pay for it when you don't use it? Can you double the number of cores in your datacenter by running a script and waiting five minutes?

There is little point in using EC2 if you never want to do either, I agree. But it seems like many people do and are willing to pay more per core to do so.
That's the current prediction because of the backlog. Family-based migration is different. On a H1B visa, if you get a priority date today, it'll take you a very long time to get your green card. Every year, the backlog moves by 1-2 months. i.e. in the last 6 months, I think the backlog went from processing applications from April 2009 to June 2009. Some months it doesn't move at all. I don't think you know how this system works. Of course, people exploit family-based migration which is more permissive and bring their extended family here but the situation is completely different for people on work-based visas.
>>Come back on a L1 visa and boom you can apply in the EB-1 category and get your green card in a couple of years.

Those days are gone now. You go into EB-1 only if you get into the US on L1-A. They don't give L1-A's easily these days. For starters you need to be in director level positions to even qualify for L1-A's. Even then the waiting period for India EB-1 itself is growing and stands at 5+ years now. And it will only increase.

>>I've quite a few friends who easily got their green cards working for TCS, Infosys, etc.

Put the saddle on the right horse. People who come in from those companies often work for <$70K an year. Most are poor blokes who survive on ramen, and giving haircuts to each other so that they can save $8.

The real deal is Cgnzt which even until recently filed L1-A's and EB-1's for thousands/lacs of people by cooking up documents. Often promoting some one with a BCom degree to a director, granting them a GC and then rolling back the promotion. Thousands to lacs have made it to GC and Passports this way. When I worked for a short time in the US, it was painful to see PhD students in Stanford struggle for little extra stay, while some one with a basic 2 year diploma land GCs in like an year. In fact even until recently the biggest incentive to work at Cgnzt was this.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/...

8.4 lac Indians got citizenship only last year. 5.8 lac got green cards. This is basically abuse max.

Add this to manager's pets who routinely get their documents cooked to be Nobel Prize worthy talent and land GC's. Literally the wrongest possible people occupy the numbers these days. Add to this a large number of body shopping firms.

There are several top level doctors, lawyers and scientists who don't even get B1's.

In short we Indians bought this upon ourselves. Like everything else. We abuse things so much, so far and so blatantly it makes things impossible for the real people when they arrive at the scene.

I'm one of those people who got burned badly due to all these politics at every level. I have largely given up, you just need to get very lucky early life to win at these things. Or cheat shamelessly.
This just seems like an article written to attack a viable moderate Democrat (Pete Buttigieg). The narrow characterization of management consulting companies seems disconnected from reality. And of course, there’s the author’s biased worldview, as he authored “The Meritocracy Trap”.
How is it that there's no mentioning that the pipeline to get into McKinsey is hardly technocratic – and that there's little reason to believe that its management is technocratic too? The values of that world are not exactly aligned with "Hackers and Painters."

Say what you will about one value system versus the other, if you will. We don't have to judge their culture versus ours. But, cmon...
> Also, I suspect that the people who are currently being persecuted (e.g. Uyghurs in China) won't be in a position to leave Earth any time soon (e.g. in the next 100 years).

I think you again need to look to the example of the New World. The Pilgrims were not persecuted like the Uyghurs. They were relatively well off English folk living in the Netherlands who felt that their laws were overly restrictive and prevented the free practice of their religion.

Thus, groups highly likely to colonize Mars would be traditionalist Catholics, evangelical Christians, and maybe some new age movements. These feel like the current system is persecuting them, but still have enough werewithal and freedom to be able to choose to move. That, and their respective philosophies encourage exploration. It is highly unlikely that any group that decided to move because of persecution would be a racial or ethnic one.

I could add, one course or two about "communications" the one with people in. Most of us will spend our times in teams, with highly opinionated and sometimes conflicting individuals. Computer programmers don't know how to listen or to respond, we mostly just react.
Probably lower than what Americans pay (between 2.9%-3.8% Medicare tax plus insurance premiums). America's healthcare system is really bloated and inefficient compared to developed countries.
We had an issue, where they kept reverting to pre-911 addresses in places where there were geocoding gaps in the new address dataset. Even after submitting changes, and having them implemented, they would revert back, presumably every time they merged updates to the new dataset. I suspect the new addresses existed in the list and were imported, but with null coordinates.

We stopped updating, because then you could at least consistently give people the old address for directions. (They did eventually do a permanent fix.)
You can use shmem instead of sockets, which is pretty fast. Not as fast as a direct call, but pretty good; good enough for most purposes.

Not even close. I pay a $250 premium for my family of 6, my employer pays the rest. My health coverage is worth $24,000 per year if I paid out of pocket — with the SV salary differential between Canada and Silicon Valley, I am still coming out much further ahead even if I had to pay 100% of my own insurance.
So where can I buy a Google car today?

Yes, I have spent quite a lot of time in old European and colonial cities. They have charm in exactly the way that US cities do not, and it's a shame. I wish US cities were a lot more like European cities and a lot less like corporate strip malls.

I would be wholly in favor of repealing (or at least seriously limiting) the ADA. Yes, it sucks to be mobility impaired, but we don't need to bring the whole world down to the lowest common denominator.
There are expenses, they're just not the right expenses.
Many of these jobs can be performed anywhere--even on the go.

Whatever the ultimate corporate goals may be, this topic is clearly a control issue, not a talent one.

In software, talent can do what it wants wherever it feels like doing it--businesses will yield to it.

The waymo cars have always been timid. That's why most of the collisions involve the waymo car getting rear ended. They don't move when other drivers expect them to.

Of course, this is annoying, and being so timid that you get rear ended is unsafe, but the Tesla approach would be the delivery truck is detected as a stationary object and ignored, so the vehicle would accelerate to the set speed in 3 seconds and slam into it. (See the many reports of Teslas running into stopped emergency vehicles). Of course, Tesla will tell you that their car isn't really self-driving with one side of their mouth, while telling you your car is equipped for self-driving out of the other side.
TL;DR: How could things work to allow us to do what’s in the above list with the Pipe and Filter design pattern / architectural style that is particular of Scikit-Learn? The API must be redesigned to include broader functionalities, such as allowing the definition of hyperparameter spaces, and allowing a more comprehensive object lifecycle & data flow functionalities in the steps of a pipeline.
Mostly because of the world war they waged, they created bonds and then printed more and more currency to pay it off, creating hyperinflation.
The Issues Are in Our Tissues: Focusing as a Somatic Approach to Therapy
>I don't care whether the opinions being shut down are ones that I agree or disagree with. They should not be examined honestly, not shut down.

That is either one very unfortunate typo, or the mother of all Freudian slips.

I'm pretty sure I know which one. I hate it when my thought/finger synchronization is off.
Have a share of Microsoft? If so, file an SEC complaint.
The reason they managed to create hyperinflation is because when you print more currency, inflation doesn't immediately change in reaction.

So they ended up printing more and more till, it all corrected at once and hyperinflation was already here before they could roll back their currency printing machines.

They took a practical approach to managing inflation yet paying off debt obligations with more currency but didn't realize it all could backfire - they didn't do something as stupid as others will have you believe.
Short term, follow the advice here.

Long term, work toward financial freedom so you don’t need to contort your life to appease some HR gatekeeper.
Mobile 3D Model Download – New Feature Highlight
The Bannings Will Continue Until Thought-Crimes Are Extinguished
I have spend at least 15 hours trying to self host things with docker with little success. Its not nearly as easy as people make it sound. You don't just "docker run ..." and away you go. You have to spend ages reading the manual for each app, creating configuration files for the app you want to host and then mounting them in to the container, then you have to set up a database, reverse proxy, certificate renewal, and then you have to network it all together.

And then half of the time the docker containers you need aren't built for ARM so your RPI home server cant run it without building it all yourself or finding an alternative container that is built. And then docker has no built in update mechanism so you have to constantly manually check that nothing you are using has any updates.

The only time docker actually is simple is when you use one of the "all in one" containers that has everything you need but then it binds to port 80 and 443 and now thats the only app you can run.

Docker could be used in combination with a sandstorm style tool. The real value in Sandstorm was meant to be that you didn't have to configure everything, you just press "install" and it would be all done for you and kept up to date.
> Although this is not an officially supported Google product, you can reach us on the unsmear-discuss mailing list.

I'd say that this component has probably much better support than any of those "officially supported" Google products. Not wanting to blame Google for this though, they have billions of customers and providing good customer support for them would be insanely expensive.
It’s not the plaintiff’s fault that the defendant preferred to close up shop vs comply with the law, even if they are the one who pointed it out.
I’d recommend Docker / virtual machines as its own top-level module. There’s essentially no better way than containers to make projects portable and reproducible, and containers are now essential for pretty much any production system. I’ve taught docker to a few dozen people and while they hate it at first (the learning curve can be steep) they love it in the end.

Also wish this course covered bazel, maybe in potpourri. Make is important and bazel isn’t standard but bazel is pretty important for large C++ projects.

Docker and bazel both have fairly complicated interfaces and the time set aside for a course like this is the perfect time to play with them.
There's some talk of trying to figure out funding stuff, though none of it is super organized yet. I personally set up a GitHub sponsors profile and a couple folks are donating. I could see us getting organized enough to scrounge up money for at least one person but we'll see.

But, even without that, I do think there's a reason to be hopeful that this is more than a momentary stir. The company shut down so suddenly and without really on-boarding new contributors, and I think much of the problem was that of getting over the hump of "all of the people who've worked heavily on this codebase disappeared at once." I think it might not have stalled in the first place if there were a couple folks outside the company who had been doing regular work on the platform. I still feel like our bus factor is a little low wrt to hacking on core, but I'm hopeful that we can get to a point where there's enough shared knowledge that we won't end up in quite that kind of slump again.

The official position is that there was no foul play, but I still can't believe in this time of super-heightened cyber-security concerns, anyone in the Democratic party would try and use a smartphone app for anything election related. The whole platform (IMHO) is compromised when you're talking nation-state level adversaries, let alone when your opponent is the Commander-in-Chief of the NSA/CIA, the ones who we all know put the back doors in place to begin with.

Occams razor though - in 2016 Bernie got gypped and lobbied for a new process. Half a case of beer says that as soon as they have a proper accountability, it comes to light that nobody really has any clue how the system is supposed to work.
I custom built it in node. It's a straightforward forum, except with the private groups feature, some modtools for this specific use-case, saving items, and elasticsearch-powered fulltext.

Its best feature is that it doesn't use React or a fancy frontend. It's just server-side rendered, very lightweight, and lightning fast. Still nice and usable though.
That's not exactly the same. What you're referring to is the library ABI for the c++ standard library. Every library which can be linked to dynamically has its own ABI. The language ABI, on the other hand, describes how every library's ABI is defined, describing things like layout and name mangling. So if, for instance, the language ABI were amended to say that class members are arranged in alphabetical order in memory, then capacity_ will always be at offset 0, data_ at offset 8, and len_ at offset 16; if you change the order of declarations then, the library's ABI won't change. But if the library were compiled with an old compiler that targeted the old ABI, then it would put data_ first, followed by len_, then capacity_. So if you then compiled a new piece of code with a new compiler targeting the new ABI, but linked against it the library, there would be a mismatch.
Well, it's not called survivorship bias for no reason. This kinda reminds me of that show Halt and Catch Fire. Their computer, their next video game platform, their next search engine... all of it was poised to become the next big thing. Except it didn't. They were beaten by Apple, Nintendo, Yahoo, etc.

Lots of people have the same ideas about what can be successful--some idea about some underserved market or whatever. They're all working at it night and day on little to no sleep. They're all extremely smart and talented. Many of them are willing to play dirty. Only few get lucky.
And clueless management at large corporations. My opinion or them is very low after a few engagement in technology implementation. Maybe they are better at general consulting so your mileage may vary.
If the AMP page doesn't have the content you want and the non-AMP page does, that is the publisher's problem and the search engine's problem for displaying an inferior page. It is not a problem with AMP, which usually has the information I need. Similarly, if a mobile-optimized page does not have the same content as a desktop page, that is also a problem with the publisher and the search engine. The same for if an RSS entry does not have the full content of an article or if a transit feed does not match the data that is on a transit provider's web page.

> the real one, not the AMP one

Is that the mobile URL or the desktop URL? This problem has existed for ages. It's the user agent's problem to give a UI to share the canonical URL if that's what the user wants.

The extrema includes the size and scope of the company that pays those salaries, so you need to take that into account.

It's generally agreed that more performance-based pay with long-term goals and clawbacks on excessive failures, negligence and unethical acts is the way to go, and most companies are already shifting to this.
Bad CEOs get paid a lot since if they fuck up, their failures are public and nobody will hire them afterwards so they need the money as insurance.

If you're a bad programmer, your failures aren't public and you can job hop to the next gullible company.
Cloudron is definitely easier to build and integrate apps for than Sandstorm. And it is open source now, although automatic updates require a license.

> Sure, and if you live in Canada, you're explicitly paying for healthcare in the form of high taxes.

You mean, “the United States”, not Canada, right? The US pays more (not just per capita, but as a share of GDP, and thus would need higher taxes to pay for it) out of public funds for healthcare than Canada does. See, e.g., https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-...
