If that is all Facebook is seeking in their suit, then I am fine with their lawsuit- and I am glad that Namecheap is holding out for a final, legal court order in a court of competent jurisdiction. Facebooks PR piece trying to paint Namecheap in a bad light is something I am not okay with. Namecheap is right not to give up this information without legal due process.

>Newsletters are really the new feed

Nearly every newsletter I follow also provides an RSS feed though.
And does what? Mandates that hand sanitizer not exceed some price/oz? There'll still be shortages, because some whales will buy it all. Mandate caps on the amount that a person can buy? I suppose hospitals are fucked then, and that's assuming that people don't circumvent the restrictions anyways.

So the only way to "solve" the issue is to add more supply, and "price through the roof" is as good a way to get more supply (and possibly better) as the government mandating more production.
I mean, part of the allure of UBI to me is that it is a social safety net except it benefits everyone. Because it's universal and not means-tested, it removes the stigma of being 'on welfare' which IMO is incredibly discouraging and makes it harder to rise out of your unfortunate situation. So yes, I would love if UBI replaced some programs while augments others.

At the end of the day it's the most direct and effective way of combating poverty and goes a long way towards closing the wealth gap. Especially when we can divert those funds from corporations into the hands of the people.

I do generally favor shrinking the government but not at the expense of the people's safety, liberty or well-being.
Yes, dynamic soaring is amazing stuff. You know it's getting crazy when they have to design their gliders for subsonic speeds.
Personally being a tech worker in Silicon Valley, I’ve found the big barrier to this now to be cultural and personal. All my companies (large and small) have had incredibly relaxed policies around when to arrive, leave, remote work, time off, bereavement. Even in what have been SRE or Software Eng roles with on-call. I get the sense that if I’m doing my work, I could do whatever I want. But I still feel some pressure, some voice in the back of my head that thinks other people will look down on me or I won’t be deserving my high salary. Like anytime I have downtime I feel guilty, and I see others behave the same way.

I think podcasters generally only care about RSS because it's how to get into the Apple Podcasts app.

There are many hosting companies that will create friction and pain if a consumption platform attempts to vertically integrate and eliminate the idea that you can publish a podcast on any web server, but we're already in a world where some of the consumption platforms have distinct flavors of RSS published especially for them.

Not hard to imagine one of them offering better support if you use a more custom integration, which it's not impossible to imagine major hosting providers building.

> The point of UBI is not to fund people's vanity adventures in education.

That is YOUR OPINION of what UBI should be. It happens to be wrong.

What people do with the money isn't the point of UBI at all. The point is to improve their lives, and boost the economy. Who cares what specific the money is spent on if it is making people healthier, less stressed, and happier?
I've used specialized embedded system tools that cost $10,000/year per seat for tooling. Our QNX licenses were about $5,000 or $10,000/year alone. That's just to be able to run a piece of software. Autodesk tooling is $20 to 30k a year. Some of the more specialized tools cost six-figures.

So I guess if you're just doing some basic web development those numbers are suspect. But if you do hardware or embedded software projects $20,000/year per person is cheap.
This is just a guess, but speculative, radical stuff seems risky from a career point of view.

You're going to give up years of your life and work your ass off tirelessly toward the PhD that is necessary to open other doors. Do you bet it all on a far-out idea that might not pan out? You don't want to get too conservative, but you don't want to go wild either.

Then the same thing repeats when you're working on research or directing research. You need to get grant money. You need to publish.

You want to advance yourself within the field, and the way to do that is with either one amazing breakthrough or (more likely) a string of solid, significant work.

And once you've built a reputation, which is important, you can lose it all by venturing too far out.

Thus, while it's not necessarily that people are closed-minded, there are incentives for most people to take a middle road, which means a lot more evolutionary progress than revolutionary progress.

Of course the UBI is for personal growth and development even if it isn’t a guaranteed success. People have a fallback and would be more likely to take risks.

Those people are fine. I'm looking at this from the perspective of the malware that can survive across OS re-installs because Intel put this enclave in your CPU that you can't touch. I'd assume the NSA is using that to spy on people right now but the question is how many other groups.
Trunk based development, as described at https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/, can be used with release branches, where bug fixes can be back ported to.

As an airline employee who sometimes faces large shifts in sleep times, I've become quite worried about brain health. Papers like this and Matthew Walker's recent popularity seem to have brought more attention to the issue. Last week I slept from 9pm - 2:30am, 12am - 7am, 7am - 11am, 9pm - 6am, in that order. The week before I had to wake up at 1am two days in a row. It isn't possible to function normally on such a schedule and it's horrible for your health, yet that fact is completely ignored. I'd be considered alarmist and met with a "suck it up" attitude if I were to take a stand against such things. The FAA wipes their hands of it by saying that it's "your responsibility" to make sure you've gotten adequate rest and to call in fatigued if you haven't, but one would soon lose their job for doing so as often as would truly be required. Flying an airliner is easy, but we have two pilots because one or both are often totally exhausted, whether they realize it or not. Operating on "stem power" is a phrase sometimes used, as in, 'so tired that your higher level functions are shot and you're operating on brain stem power alone'.
Subsonic would be pretty normal. I think you mean transonic or supersonic.

As a biker, I think I distinctly remember the bad experiences and don't always consider the majority of time motorists are doing the right thing. Those bad experiences stick with you, and can fester, which may cause some bikers to overly assert their place out of anger or resentment. It would be good to for both "sides" to remember most people are trying not to be an asshole.
> sticking and switching have an equal reward

Right, and this is the intuitive solution. Nobody argues that switching reduces your chance of success; the split is over whether it increases it to 2/3 or leaves it at 1/3.

(The problem statement ends with 'Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?' The right answer under the intended assumption about the host is 'yes', but the intuitive answer is 'no, it makes no difference'.)

Private schools are on par with public schools ($10k/yr) for the same kind of school, with large class sizes. Expensive private schools are far better "product" than public schools with small classes and better extracurriculars and amenities.

Nothing wrong with that. The government is severely bloated. Also nothing wrong with reducing or replacing horrid, administratively wasteful, degrading, stigmatized, means-tested social safety nets with UBI.
Pick a metric that you like. P/E, EV/EBITDA, whatever.

> In any case, irrespective of where the market was when the virus hit, it would have gone lower

This mentality totally equates bad occurrences with disastrous occurrences, and is useless for trading volatility or understanding tail risk. The magnitude of a drop in asset prices is a function of POSITIONING. Think of it as the acceleration rate of the undesirability of a stock. If everyone is long the stock, a negative catalyst will hurt the stock faster and with more magnitude.

The pandemic is the fire, but POSITIONING is the crowdedness of the theater.
Transitioning to Remote Work: A Practical Guide
I'd say it's on the decline, yes.

I have quite a few websites in my RSS Reader (I love TinyTinyRSS) and over the last 2-3 years I've seen probably ~10 sites get "makeovers" and every time, the RSS feed I was using for those sites has gone away/broken.
Each time I've emailed them to ask "Oh hey are you going to bring back RSS" and of the ~4 that replied, 1 bought it back ~3 months later, the other 3 said "Nope, no one uses it" and the others didn't even reply.

So yes, it's on a steep decline I'd say. I love the "But Podcasts use it" argument! There's what, ~100 major podcast sites people use? Yes, RSS is the backend workhorse that makes it work, but the podcast(content) producers aren't using RSS, they'll be uploading their content to a website. RSS is just the backend magic that makes the podcast clients work.

RSS at most sites seems to suffer bitrot. Sometimes the RSS URL is still http when the site has moved to https etc etc.

It's sad to see the decline of it, because an RSS Reader really is a beautiful thing. But yes, RSS as a way to exposing content to people is dying and used by only a very few hardcore "oldschool" people these days I'd suggest.
Unless you are using a not-podcast player like Spotify or whatever Google has that hosts podcasts themselves instead of just using RSS and letting the player download from the content providers server.

This probably varies a lot per region, here in Europe BMWs are a pretty affordable when compared to other real wheel drive cars.

As I said in another comment imported American cars aren't a good deal in Europe. Japanese are a good deal too, but there aren't really many options that are sporty AND practical.
My wife an I discuss this a lot. There are a lot of programs designed to help offset costs for women who choose to work, but not a whole lot aimed at paying full-time stay-at-home parents for their contributions.

I recently commented about the book, “The Value of Everything”. It does an incredible job at explaining the various ways in which we measure value. Today, right now, we tend to say that your value is what you earn. But it’s not the only model available, and there’s a pretty good argument that paying people for the work they do in raising the next generation could be enormously impactful for society.
A single server isn't redundant. 3 behind a load balancer, where each is sized to handle 50% of the volume lets you take systems offline for maintenance without incurring downtime.

Doing a migration when you're not clear on what problem you're solving and why is always a bad idea. But I don't think this is a fair characterization of Kubernetes. There are lots of well supported hosted ways to use it, in which case it works a lot like other PAAS tools like Heroku or Elastic Beanstalk, except with much more powerful and better designed primitives and a big open source community of tools to make working with it even easier.

It's not like using a tractor trailer to get your groceries, it's more like using a swiss army knife to cut a piece of string.

And the extras might even come in handy at some point in the future.

They don't get a check, sure, but they get food, clothing, a home, a cell phone, etc. Seems like double dipping. If they had a day job those tasks wouldn't be performed as often and would likely be split up more equitably.

I'm not sure what point the article is attempting to make. That more women should enter the work force? Sure, ok, maybe. That there is some untapped economy worth $11T? I don't think so.

To clarify, none of the communication with your coach happens via the Trustle website.

The part that is full of the standard instrumentation and analytics, as you point out, is our onboarding flow. The info you enter here is
- who you are,
- when you can talk,
- and what parenting challenges you face at the broadest level.

Those are the questions required to match you with your coach. The data in those initial three questions flows into Segment and from there into our analytics tools (Amplitude, Google Analytics, conversion tracking for ads, etc.). And while it's all encrypted, etc., you're right to say that it goes to a lot of places internally. We will not ever sell that info, but analyzing it using modern tools internally helps us understand what our users want and how we can do better.

What comes afterwards is end-to-end encrypted conversation with your coach.

Oh, and Trustle is not a health service provider. However, we strive to treat your data with the same level of rigor that a medical service provider would apply; as opposed to the person selling you a vacuum...

There exist scripts and workflows to perform auto-merges from all release branches back to master. This way, you only have to care about branching off releases, and hotfixes will automatically land on develop once released.

(Assuming master is your "next release", and develop is your main development branch)

FWIW, did a winter camping trip with kid's SV troop a few weeks back. no one got pulled, and had a few last minute joins. with that said, it was unreasonably warm that weekend (it barely got down to -1 C at night), which was a bummer.
Actually the reason is the most practical one of all; money.

A system which costs too much to widely deploy and maintain will never see widespread deployment.
> When something breaks you log in to the machine and make incremental updates to fix it, right?

Not generally, and you do a good job explaining why I don't in your next sentence.

> This approach leads to non-reproducible deployment environments.

It's true that there's some discipline involved, but it's not necessarily a huge amount. For me, what it tends to look like is a build that produces some sort of deployable artifact, an idempotent install script, and following standard Unix patterns. Except for maybe that last bit, this is exactly what you'd do in a Docker environment. And of course, Docker and the like are always still candidates for adoption, if the circumstances warrant.

Part of what surprises me about conversations like this is that the idea of an environment in a known and stable state isn't a novel development. The question is really about what degree of environment stability you need to achieve to meet your requirements and then the specific tools and procedures you choose to adopt to meet that goal. Docker is once choice, but not the only choice, and even if you chose it, there is still a set of disciplines and procedures you'll need to follow manually for it to be effective.

Rich coming from FB.

On the one hand, scam sites should be stopped, on the other, I am not sure we should let companies wantonly decide which domains other people register are bad.

I can't even tell what the legality of this is. What does facebook even sue for, trademark infringement? Or is it fraud related which I would assume they'd go to the courts for. If namecheap is breaking the law, then the justice system should be involved, otherwise it's namecheap rolling over anytime facebook decides to sue them for anything they want.
> But the reality is that our roads are ill suited for the task, catastrophically and obviously dangerous, and people insist on trying it anyway because in principle, it should work.

The vast majority of roads are ill suited for bikes in our area (Asheville NC). The roads are narrow, curvy, blind and there is rarely even a shoulder. Bikers are in danger so much I don't know how they stomach it. I see them a lot of side walks which just endangers pedestrians.

It seems they cause traffic build up (people wanting to pass safely) which just enrages drivers and want to lash out at these "idiots" for being on these kinda roads in the first place.
That is what I do too. Combined with restriction on the pull request so you can't merge it if it's behind the branch you are merging onto.
This issue is not a "flaw". It's a root problem. We want to know the effect of permanent UBI, not of a temporary one, and we know (strongly suspect) the effect will be different.
