> In general, without "interviewing" someone who already works there, how do you think just walking around is enough and how do you evaluate that?

I almost always have the chance to engage in some light banter with a few of the devs, but that's not as useful as you might expect. I'm a stranger being given a tour, and everyone is on their best behavior, not acting normally.

But you can get a general "vibe". That's what I was talking about. Is it highly reliable? Probably not. Have I passed on jobs that would have been great? Probably. But when you're data-deprived (and job applicants are always data-deprived), you have to do the best you can with what you have.
His phone was using data, that’s not proof he was using it and distracted. Spotify streaming a new playlist could be responsible for that.
Genuine question: why is DevSecOps a thing? What is the difference between it and DevOps? Or separate DevOps and SecOps teams? Or InfraOps? At what point does it become systems administration with inflated titles? I've even seen business people call themselves "BizOps".
>Humans must solve the problem of "coincidence of wants" (ie. You raise chickens and I'm a woodworker - do we always need each other's goods?).

The fact that this must be solved in an exchange economy does not mean that it is the same as the genesis of money. Every historical economist has had a theory as to the genesis of money, from Smith, Ricardo and Marx to Mises. To say that money evolved as a solution to the problem of the coincidence of wants may not be correct. Solving the coincidence of wants may just be a side effect.
As regular nobodies, our data is probably distributed in the hands of both allies and non-allies. As long as there's such a strong push, both commercially and institutionally, for tracking and data mining, our only recourse is going offline.

No one wants our specific dental bills, mortgages or tax returns, but governments and corporations love mass statistics.
Seems like usually big companies buy competitors, shut them down, and then progress slows down.
The reverse is true though, try putting it in the freezer and you'll see ;). Erasing them doesn't actually remove the ink, it just make it transparent.
Well I did say it’s rough, I wasn’t claiming to know your finances, I also couldn’t know the amount from donations :)
Protip for hardware store melamine boards: get a Mr Clean Bar, and use it to erase things regularly. Mr Clean is basically a melamine sponge (no, really), so it works exceptionally well on the hardware store melamine.
I'm not really making a statement about that. All I'm saying is that if you have a backdoor that can do the former, it must necessarily also be a backdoor that can do the latter.
Which newly released documents? Quote the article because I can't find anything.

Every article I'm seeing in the past week refers to documents released in 2015. Why the fuck now? It reeks of public manipulation, especially with the US increasing efforts to convince people not to use Huawei equipment.

I'm not sure what to make of this. On the surface I can see more malware threats being possible as macOS gets more popular. On the other hand, this study was performed by Malwarebytes, a company that has some interest in selling AV software to macOS user.
I agree that having a routine is important. But I think what makes the routine is up to the individual, clothes may be important for some, but not for others.

I live in a place exactly like this in Florida called Baldwin Park. It's much better designed and I love living here. The main difference is a few things (and these really matter to me):

1. All the parking is parallel parking along all the streets. This ensures that the number of businesses don't need their own massive ugly parking lots

2. There are actually apartments here above the businesses, so that it's always active, the people that live here keep the businesses below in business. We have everything from lawyers to gyms to dentists right below my feet in a single square mile.

3. This is actually a community. We have multiple community events and I can just show up and be there. We have a big shopping day every first Friday of the month where local merchants will set up tents and sell their stuff. They also do some event for nearly every holiday.

4. The entire town center is walkable. A square mile of walkable businesses, a park, a pool, etc.
I'd love to see something similar for the classic (pre-Aqua/OS X) Mac OS look and feel. Does anyone know if that exists?
There's no reason to believe that's a level 4 autonomous vehicle, other than the marketing release of the company that makes it.

Going from early cellphones to smartphones was an engineering problem. All the technology was already available and it was a case of putting it all together in a way that worked and that could be manufactured at scale and for profit.

With vehicle autonomy, the problem is that we don't know how to create autonomous AI agents yet, so we don't know how to make a car driven by such an agent. Claims of level 4 autonomy should, at this point, be treated like claims of teleportation or time-travelling back in time: theoretically possible but we don't know how to make it happen in practice.

> Buehler was interrogated for nine months but, being completely unaware of any flaw in the machines, was released in January 1993 after Crypto AG posted bail of $1m to Iran.[10] Soon after Buehler's release Crypto AG dismissed him and charged him the $1m.

Well that was an asshole move.
c. They have sources saying as such but have not discovered the backdoor itself.

d. Admitting how they found the backdoor would reveal other issues (a source in the pipeline, or their own backdoor in something Huawei made use of).

And probably e-z too.
I use a Simple Analytics competitor – not going to name them here out of respect for OP, who is doing great work with his product – but yes, this space seems to be growing. Personally speaking, there are a few reasons I've switched from Google Analytics:

1. The simpler UI is much easier to explain to clients. No training needed.

2. The simpler UI also helps me keep track of my _own_ metrics faster – I can do a 1 minute check at the end of the week instead of clicking through layers of dashboards and setting up custom reports.

3. Now I don't need to show an annoying cookie popup across all of my sites; I also like that it respects my users' privacy.

4. My sites load a bit faster (GA had a larger filesize). This is supposed to help with conversion.

5. Having support, if I need it, is nice. Going with a smaller company is almost an _easier_ sell to my clients because they know they have the option to get help when they need it.

Also, it doesn't matter to everyone, but I like to support indie businesses when I can. Analytics are important, but they're not mission-critical (like payment processing or something), so I'm fine with working with a smaller company in this area.

Congrats OP!

For most Americans "I don't care what the cost is" immediately makes it an unrealistic scenario. And if history is any indication, for the vast majority of Americans choosing a privacy-focused solution is usually an accident. Price is the determining factor almost always.
There's no need for the sarcasm.
Just charge for parking with the goal of always having one empty parking spot per block. Everything else will work out: those who need to park there now will find a price, those more price sensitive will move elsewhere. If there is high demand someone will open up a parking garage.

All of that assumes good transit though. Without good transit everybody must have a car per adult plus a one spare per family. When you have to pay the expensive of several cars the additional costs of parking starts to hurt. Most people do not see any real alternatives to cars: transit needs to come every 10 minutes all day and get me many different places within half an hour to count as good.
BP sets ambition for net zero by 2050
It's symptomatic of the economic way of thinking, in terms of game theory and systems that have emerged more or less out of nowhere. Explanation beyond the surface level of transfers of money is relegated to the work of economic historians. The way mainstream economics focuses on "shadow forms" (as Patrick Murray put it) purposefully excludes the supersensible movements below the forms of appearance of money, capital, labour, interest, rent, etc.
What I wrote might have used too strong words, but I feel like all the discussion around not-barter economy was just used to support the point the writer was doing on the evils of debts and money.
Blackberry was really good at email, and didn't need to be reset as often as Windows Mobile back in the day. I do remember the Blackberry taking a full two minutes to start up from a cold power-off condition.

Once other phones started handling email just as well and became as reliable, Blackberry didn't have a reason to exist other than for those that wanted a basic email phone with a keyboard.

The Blackberry phones I remember in the pre-2010 era were not as good for media as other phones. Of course the whole landscape changed once iPhone gained traction and Android entered the scene, I'm sure the newer Blackberrys were a bit better but by that time everyone seemed to be getting Android or iPhones.

I recall Blackberry needing special phone plans as well, not sure if that still exists anymore.
The two main complaints are:

1. Inaccurate weight and balance calculations (seems to be passenger seating since its reported to not be baggage weight and balance).

2. 88 aircraft with non-conforming repairs, the airline has since replaced the repairs with conforming repairs.

I'm not surprised on the first issue, since Southwest has to perform the weight and balance checking in a matter of minutes between all the passengers getting on board and pushback, because of the open seating.

The FAA will be implementing more stringent oversight between now and September 30th.
I also think that's correct, regarding the order of magnitude, familiarity with the topic... the 10 lines a day (order of magnitude) could perhaps make more sense from a perspective of cognitive overload.
> You bunch of crazy people actually see things that aren’t there, in your mind’s eye?

It's not so much that I "see" them -- it's very distinct from the visual perception. For me, actual sight is associated with some physical feelings - not only do I see objects/colors/etc but there's some degree of feedback from the muscles of my eye, best demonstrated by looking at bright lights vs dim surfaces. It's very, very clear when I'm actually seeing something.

Then, separately from ocular perception, there's an ethereal space inside my head where I can conjure up various "platonic ideals" of things, and the senses they generate. It's like a sandbox of sorts, or perhaps that loading scene in the matrix where Neo and Trinity grab a bunch of guns.

By platonic ideal, i mean that when I think "Apple", I sort of see an apple in that internal space, but it's neither red, nor green - unless I focus on "red apples" in which case it will no longer be green, but also won't yet be specifically a Fuji apple or a Red Delicious apple. It's just an uninstantiated class of "apple.red" existing in my headspace.

No matter how hard I visualize the apple, no matter how many specifics I give it (Fuji apple, small soft brown spot on one side, with broad color splotches rather than narrow bands)...it never activates the "feeling" of real sight. It very much feels like it doesn't exist, a temporary cloud of vapor that just "poofs" away instantly if it's not constantly regenerated.

For me, there's very little way I could see getting confused between my visual imaginations and my visual sight.

Generally when I conjure something up I don't just see it visually, potentially I also sort of taste or smell or can recognize the feel of its texture, and maybe hear associated sounds like the breaking open sound of the apple. Again, all of these are extremely non-tangible and generally would never be confused with real sensations. They occupy a different space.

It's like a simulation and modeling environment with a physics engine, more than anything else. It's a place to run experiments - with or without hypotheses.

Also, almost all my thoughts have a verbal monologue. There aren't "characters" in my head talking to me, it's usually my own voice, but sometimes I can use other people's voices to sound things out as well. Rather different from my internal monologue I can also pull up "recordings" of what other people said to me (which are really generative models, akin to a decoder in machine learning).
The question is insufficiently precise.

Some European agencies want the US government to spy on European citizens because it is illegal for them to do it themselves but it's not illegal for them to obtain information about European citizens from US spies. Whether the European citizens want to be spied on is another matter.

If you're a European citizen or company you might well prefer to be spied on by the Chinese because there's little danger of the Chinese getting you kidnapped/extradited. Also, if your competitors and business contacts are more US than Chinese then the possibility of Chinese commercial espionage is perhaps less worrying than the possibility of US commercial espionage. It seems likely that US agencies sometimes provide information to Boeing to help them compete against Airbus, for example. I'm thinking more of contract negotiations than technological secrets, of course.

Getting equipment from several suppliers seems like the best plan, generally. You can then play them off against each other not just for price but also for openness and forcing the supplier to allow security audits. I've heard that Huawei has been very helpful in that respect, because of the pressure they're under.
... What? This is a well written article covering essentially the same information. This is so confusing, why did nobody react back then? Why did governments continue to buy equipment from Crypto AG?

Amazing. The only explanation I can think of is that CovertAction had much worse reputation and could be easily dismissed as conspiracy theory.
>When you do a favor for a friend (like giving a referral for a job), do you see it as a transaction where you expect them to pay you back at some point?

To some limited degree.

If you were later in your life in need of a job, and your friend could refer you to their new company, but they refuse to because of arbitrary reasons.

Would you not think they are being a poor friend? Even more so because you did a very similar favor for them in the past?
I did not mean to dismiss GP's argument simply because it appealed to game theory. In fact, GP did not have an argument at all - they just dismissed the article's historical description by simply saying "game theory explains that better" without any additional explanation, and then proceeded to make claims about human psychology presumably on the same basis.

Thanks for the pointer to the article. Game theory is an extremely valuable tool and model, it is just not the ultimate word on human behavior, at least as it stands today.

I think you are suggesting a false dilemma. Do you think those sharing agreements will vanish if AT&T hangs some Huawei radios on their poles?
If it really was as a walkable neighborhood some people could get rid of the car. There would still be a lot of cars but we would have the start of people not having cars. Walkable means several possible jobs, a library, courthouse, many retailers at several price points including discount retail where you buy your daily groceries and clothing.
If you want it to be a common term for businesses of different sources, isn't that the exact opposite of the purpose of a trademark?

Over a long period of time, Southwest had been involved in a number of crazy accidents on the west coast, especially

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1455

which skidded off the end of the runway and almost hit a gas station. It could have been a scene out of a Hollywood movie right in Burbank, CA.

They shut down the gas station and installed this:

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

funny enough the first person to use that was baseball player and steroid junkie Alex Rodriguez who had some trouble landing his private plane.

Note the high accident count w/ Southwest is largely because Southwest is a big airline and has so many flights. Southwest used to be a David but now it is just another Goliath.
Everyone is different so this is only a "maybe think about this" tidbit and not advice:

I carved about 100sqft out of the corner of my bedroom for an office. And it worked well for a while. But I eventually found that I needed complete separation between home and work. I found myself always kind of at work and not sleeping as well.

So I moved my office into a basement room. The view isn't as nice but there's a concrete concept of leaving the office, shutting the door, and that's that. And now my bedroom is for sleeping (or sometimes building a fort).
I'm not sure what you are saying actually maps to reality.

Frame and chassis have never been safer and manufacturers continue to improve. Many (most) new cars have automatic emergency braking that continue to improve. New cars seem to have an ever increasing number of air bags to protect passengers.

All these things are happening at the same time that self-driving is taking place. Tesla FWIW is pretty good at all the above despite their focus on self driving as well.

I agree it is just as ridiculous to say we need level 5 to be make something useful. Will it be decades before we have cars without steering wheels? Sure, maybe even longer. But what exists is already pretty great in most environments and only getting better. (IE, crawling along in a traffic jam at ~15mph is something I would really love to never do again and it seems self driving systems can handle this with aplomb these days)
Most index-fund based retirement investment packages focus on 80/20, 60/40, and 40/60 stock-to-bond split, depending on your current age.

Nasdaq-100 or SP-500 can be a part of a medium-risk investment portfolio as long as the exposure to them is adjusted based on the period of time left until retirement.

It's a medium-risk strategy to keep up to 80% of your retirement portfolio invested in Nasdaq-100 or SP-500 in your 20s, up to 60% in your 40s, and up to 40% in your 60s. As long as the rest of the portfolio is invested in low-risk government bonds.

But later in the article, it says:

“While weight and balance control is critical for the safety of flight operations, the issues at [Southwest] rarely involved a baggage miscount that significantly affected aircraft loading,” the FAA said in its response.

If I learned anything from my Borland days was to only get my IDE tooling from the same factory that does the sausage, instead of always playing catch-up with the OS vendor tooling.
I got this working with Traefik recently, which has code written to work with APIs from a bunch of DNS providers. I had to switch my domain from Google Domains to Digital Ocean to get it to work though (Google Domains is missing an API).

Traefik is a fantastic piece of software.
I don’t think Metro in Reston actually solves very much. The silver line gets you to the airport, Tyson’s, Arlington, and DC. But many if not most people who work in Reston are going to be working in and around Reston or Loudon county. What is the public transit situation for getting to a school from any of the new Reston developments?

I think you’re also correct that the development around the train stations are dysfunctional. That’s a common WMATA problem. The silver line stations, and the developments around them, are monstrous concrete edifices, not human scale at all.
The idea of Smith, Ricardo and Marx, many interested economists and philosophers of economics argue, can still be used very fruitfully to analyze current economic and societal conditions. The fact that some of their analyses were dropped as the discipline of economics grew out of political economy is not necessarily a sign that the analyses were deficient. Alan Freeman has some essays on the ideological motivations which led to their analyses of labour and capital being dropped.

Why did this get flagged?

Anyway, the AirBnB story is interesting because we get to watch how these sharing economy companies will spend and innovate around trust and safety, two things they eschewed or were largely ignorant of in the beginning.

I am a happy customer of AirBNB and wish them luck going for the IPO. I think their business will only be more valuable and legitimate as they implement these measures into their business.
This was a very entertaining post, thank you.

The equivalence of the relation to the game really changes the approach. The proof I first came up with of his claim about sequences with at least one 0 vs those with infinitely many 0s was very different than the adversarial one (let b be the concatenation of all finite prefixes of a, increasing in length), and proving nonexistence of the reverse relation would have been difficult in the same constructive manner.

Would it be bad form to discuss his parting challenge here?

We won't figure out transport though: there is no place for transit to run. The streets near some stores are far from others. The parking lot is the best place, but you are still running down the middle of them far from any store.
