In general, Europe may have better provision of public goods, but I’m not sure this is true in the current context. For example, it’s much easier to find a free-to-use restroom in Phoenix, Arizona than in Paris, France.
There are some of these public toilets near the high-density of homeless in Vancouver, Canada, but not nearly enough.
Does anyone have experience with OVH's managed k8s offering? I've had good experiences with them in the past on pricing/quality.
1.) I’m not gonna trust a company like Brave with anything personal. Why would I?

2.) We’ve got Mozilla doing a great job.

Monetizing the internet is not a priority I care about and ads are not what I need my browser to optimize.

Also there will always be the problem of Bernden Eich who gave money to take away people’s most basic right in California. I can’t support that.
I'd like to point out that vast majority of this lax enforcement of FAA oversight of the Boeing 737 Max certification happened during the Obama Administration by political appointees of Barrack Obama and the Democratic Party.

I am centre-left political (socially liberal, fiscally conservative) and It really really bothers me to see the double standards. Once you start to notice the pattern of one-sided appropriation of blame in pretty much every fking scenario, you end up discounting any criticism of republicans as bias.
FAA acquiescence to Industry, especially these days, is probably not much worse than a lot of other Government regulatory agencies. As much as the current administration has zealously populated high-level leadership roles with people whose ideology tends toward "what's good for the short-term economic interests of the large enterprises we regulate is good for the people", the corrosion and inadequate response to Industry pressures has been going on a long time. 737 Max, for example, was mostly developed in the Obama era.

I do have strong views about which US administration and present-day political party has been worse for the people in terms of quality of regulation, but rather than go down that road, we may be able to make progress if we can seek explicit agreement that "what's good for the short-term economic interests of the large enterprises we regulate is good for the people" cannot be the philosophy underlying regulation and public policy.
> "good judgment"

I'll add the concept of 'good faith'. I feel like fashionable neoliberal economics fails because you can't incentivize good faith. And indeed the amoral foundations is corrosive to it. And here we are.

>It's dystopian, of course, that the provision of basic needs like these falls to a private coffee chain [...]

I live in a major metro city like Austin. The homeless can easily get three hot meals a day, a warm bed every night, and all the hygiene necessities they need for free.

I don't think you should assume they're in Starbucks because the resources aren't available elsewhere.

The reason is that my data might be anonymized and used to help make academic studies more accurate? I'm not losing sleep over that
You got the startup job offer! Now what?
The triangle relationship between product Design <-> Product <-> Engineering seems so hard to get right and maintain. You need experts that can straddle these lines and make sure each branch is on the same page and their concerns are appropriatly attended to, regarding the needs of a business.

I hate blaming others, it's hard to enact productive solutions when battling against people you need to work with, I like blaming lack of processes.

How do we as engineers guide the most efficient solutions for the business problems, and in turn make our product development effective, nimble, less wasteful.

I for one have really focused on developing process around design and engineering communications.

It seems harder to make an impact between dev and product or design and product, often there is an imbalance of power and that branch is the executive and can order some really dumb and wasteful decisions if they don't have proper consult with and respect towards the other branches.
How do you obtain the right docker images and launch them with the right settings?

How do you coordinate rolling deployments?

(I'm not saying you need Kubernetes to do these things. But if you've written something to handle them, it is very probably Kubernetes-shaped).
It's more like if any new car has your full name, address and phone number clearly written on every side, that you prefer to keep driving your current car which does not have those "features".
People are assuming a cost/benefit analysis was made and the right profit-generation decision arrived on. I’m more inclined to believe they guessed and they guessed wrong - trying to calculate the relative cost of Twitter outrages is impossible and over the next few years they will correct the decision based on homeless deterrence strategies they develop in the meantime.
My reaction: Great! Reproducing these keys costs hundreds of dollars and a trip to the dealer. Maybe it can finally be affordable again.

I'm less concerned about someone stealing my car. The local police department takes it seriously, no less because stolen cars are used to commit other crimes.
I would consider that an anti-trust problem, not an scarce-resource-allocation-system problem. The concept of an auction is predicated on having a liquid market—both that there are replacement goods available from other sellers, and that there are many buyers "at the top" with enough bidding power to compete fairly between themselves, such that they'll "pick their battles" by buying only what matters most to them.

The other thing to note is that an oil price crash is going on. It had started before the outbreak, was accelerated because of it, and accelerated further by the OPEC+ talks failing yesterday.

Cheaper aviation fuel will incentivize airlines to keep their planes in the sky.
At least for Northshore, which has decided to close, they're reaching out to parents who need backup childcare, rely on a meal plan, lack the equipment at home to access online. They said 15% of their staff were high risk and 20% of students were calling in absent. I imagine a higher than normal amount of staff would call in sick for symptoms they would previously "work through." So /something/ out of the ordinary needed to be done in the medium term.
Agree, if there are already issues, you arent going to get lag free or high resolution. These clients would likely have to modify their employee tracking so that whatever their employees run can be run locally.

Be real with them about the reality of the situation.
And while it's hard to measure, a lot of people do "support" Starbucks with their wallet because of that.

Some don't, but on average, it can be a net positive.

It's the kind of thing you need a scientific study with randomization to tease out. You can control for all the confounders you want, but you can never control for unknown/difficult to estimate confounders, like human emotion.
In Vancouver, Canada, this is a problem. But we also have the bigger problem that the public bus system, operated by private companies, allow the homeless to get free rides. It makes some routes unbearable and even dangerous.
Community involvement by a large corporation should be applauded. I wonder if there is a study to show how Starbuck's action is impacting on the homeless community. Is it positive or negative?
So..., What's a good alternative? One that's relatively straightforward to implement compared to the Python approach.

> It pretty much has everything going for it.

Hard to respond to that as it is so general.

> It's even adopted by twitter.

And larger companies than Twitter use Rust (though to be fair not as extensively as Twitter uses Scala).

They're really not comparable. Rust is a lower-level language with no garbage collection (yet with guarantees about memory safety due to ownership rules). Scala runs on the JVM and has significantly more in the way of OOP (depending on how you use it obviously).

That said, I've found that my extensive Scala experience does come in handy when learning Rust as some features of the type system, pattern matching, threading failures through with ?, etc. These are things you won't have any familiarity with from Java, but do from Scala.
I agree but that's part of the charm to me. I only use what 4 or 5 things in AWS, but each login is information overload. Having to Ctrl F what you are looking for is not an ideal experience.

Whether a conscious decision or not, I think offering what the 80ish percent (just a guess) actually use, and streamlining it, is the right decision.
As you said, it's an anecdote. And it's nice that it works out in that one location.

Alternatively, I've seen how this has affected Starbucks in the nicer parts of San Francisco and the East Bay. Some Starbucks locations smell horrible, some of the restrooms are trashed and there is toilet paper everywhere. In one Starbucks on Market Street, a homeless person decided to hole up in the restroom and take a nap on the nice, cool floor with the a/c going.

I can never support forcing a private business into offering a public utility.
Are there any anecdotal stories about how Rust programs have fewer errors?

My hobby projects are in Rust and Go. Its personal taste, but I prefer programming in Go. I actively dislike programming in Rust.

In Go, I usually I start a debugger once a week because I need to understand the cause of a bug or panic. I have no idea how to debug Rust, because in 2 years of Rust, I haven't had that type of low level bug.
Starbucks had a great run from the early 2000s. I wouldn't have guessed that this is the way they go, but already I've noticed it's becoming less and less popular. Add in the long term effects of coronavirus on people's propensity on going out for going out's sake, the economic recession causing people to stop spending, increases in demographics who do not drink coffee, and you begin to see how Starbucks will decline massively like Blockbuster, Sears, et al. It started its decline a couple years ago after that incident that caused them to let anyone stay inside without paying. I'm not sure what will replace it. Probably nothing. People will just go back to meeting at restaurants, bars or each other's homes. Long alcohol.
The essential problem is that static credentials are transmitted and can be copied. If they used a randomly generated code to unlock the cars (needs to be generated offline) then that would solve this issue.

There are plenty of offline hardware based solutions already on the market especially for unlocking computers with MFA. It needs to be offline generation for computers for NIST DFARS 800-171 compliance.
The value of "know your customer" style lines is that they allow people to communicate to each other about things they already know.

Those lines are not useful to anyone who doesn't know them because knowing what "know your customer" really means is the important thing.

I encountered the phrase when I was 14 running a managed web hosting company. It didn't help because I didn't know how to know my customer.

I wouldn't buy a book like that because I know it would be completely useless since it has no actionable advice for me.

That's how it is for me.
I live in a world informed about homelessness and resources available to them. You're wrong.
Nokia has found itself unable to compete in new markets -- previously the smartphone has grown up from the phone and the PDA but the new smartphones have shrunk down from computers and this was fundamentally different. Let's say the peak of Symbian Nokia smartphones were the E71/E72 -- the E72 and the iPhone 3GS were released practically the same day. By this time some 100 000 apps were available for the iPhone (and a bit more than 10 000 for Symbian but it was a fractured ecosystem, another fatal flaw) and cumulative they have been downloaded a billion times. But even importantly, Symbian has started as the EPOC, the OS of the Psion PDAs in the eighties and it simply was unable to function well in the new world -- you can patch a preemptive system only so many times. Android and iOS were built on bona fide Unix. No such thing hampers Intel.

There's no new market here, just intensified competition and Intel has 7nm in the pipeline late 2021/early 2022, that's how far they need to survive on the venerable 14nm and the totally broken 10nm process.
> Go back and look. I said that it forks and then it imports your app. Your app (which is almost certainly the bulk of the code inside the Python interpreter) is not actually in memory when the fork happens. It gets loaded AFTER that point.

You can just pass `--preload` to have gunicorn load the application once. If you're using a standard framework like Django or Flask and not doing anything obviously insane then this works really well and without much effort. Yeah I'm sure some dumb libraries do some dumb things, but that's on them, and you for using those libraries. Same as any language.

If you want to stick your nose up at Python and state outright "I will not write a service in it" then that's up to you, it just comes across as your loss rather than a damning condemnation of the language and it's ecosystem from Rachel By The Bay, an all-knowing and experienced higher power. I guess everyone else will keep quickly shipping value to customers with it while you worry about five processes waking up from a system call at once or an extra 150mb of memory usage.
Kubernetes, awesome abstractions. The community, ecosystem, SIGs, and corporate support are unlike an open source project that came before.
> For example, it’s much easier to find a free-to-use restroom in Phoenix, Arizona than in Paris, France.

Paris has a metro for that.

edit: I bet Paris has more truly public free-to-use restrooms. It did take them a while to make them free and to keep many of them open at night.

My parents use internet beamed off a nearby farm silo. The owner of the project bought the trasmission info, paid for a splice in the fiber line on the road by the farmer's house and badabing-badaboom. Not necessarily tens of thousands per month and he has several dozen customers.
It's not exactly the same. You're using a google product while they harvest your data, which is different than a company or researcher buying that data from a broker. Though I suppose Google could also be buying information separately.
Does normal psychotherapy not have an abuse problem? I'm pretty sure inappropriate relationships between doctor and patient have formed in traditional settings. Is there an indication that it happens more often when psychedelics are involved, or is this just one more way to malign them?
I tried adding Cloudfront in front of an app hosted on Heroku with page caching off (Vary by Cookie) and it increased latency to 3X, never could figure out why. Would like to do it but seems like way too much of a trade off.
Thank you for your answer. Yeah, I encountered the same problem. When you want to start to work on a new project you do not want to waste time on authentication and authorization. Thanks for the links, you provided. I will take a look at closer look at Keycloak.

Yeah, the problem with having 100 different user information and not one standardized way, is a big problem, do you think Auth0 and Keycloak(if they normalize) solve this problem in the best possible way?

Passwordless logins and 2FA are a good thing to point out. I will take a closer look at these "problems"/"solutions".
Starbucks had to eat the cost because being publicly lambasted for being "racist" for having private bathrooms turned out to be a greater cost.
There is a game-theoretic optimal solution to this:

The loser must pay up to the amount they themselves spent on prosecuting the case, but no more.

So General Motors would have to pay the full cost of the plaintiff's litigation if they lost, while the plaintiff would have to pay their costs, plus an equivalent amount to GM.

This is of course independent of compensation and damages awarded.
It's ironic that in the end the narrowness of the warrant was what hurt him. They could see he went past the house during the time of the burglary but not that he went past there regularly. By showing them more data he convinced them he was innocent.

Not that I am arguing for more pervasive powers for data collection. But rather, appreciating how poweful data is and how dangerous data without context is. People need control over and access to data about them guaranteed.

It's still incredibly hard to justify the use of a tank (and a hundred cops) against a single shooter, demolishing a house to reach him. This is the same country that wishes away the many mass shootings every year with thoughts and prayers.

The entire saga screams incompetence and "he had a gun" is a terrible excuse. The whole point is to de-escalate, not one-up them.

The police in the US have a deep, institutional problem with how they serve their communities, and it infests (if indeed it isn't fed by) many aspects of the wider country's culture. It's both sad and infuriating to read about when you see that we don't have any of these issues in other western countries.
Probably using an POP/IMAP email client like Outlook to download all emails offline.
I doubt it's a case of corporate empathy. about a year before the policy change, there was a viral story about how they kicked out two black men because they hadn't (yet) bought anything. the guys ended up getting arrested, and the whole thing was a PR disaster. it's hard not to see the bathroom policy as a direct (and calculated) response.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
While traveling I often rely on Starbucks as one of the most reliable and convenient places I can go to use a washroom.
> Everyone is tracked and when a serious crime happens we can find out who was there.

At some point, criminals will figure out that it's not smart to carry your cell phone when you intend to commit a crime. At which point, the police will only be able to find all the innocent people who were there.
I was not the pilot error, neither the first nor the second time. The planes behaved exactly how no plane should be allowed to behave, effectively turning on the “I’m afraid I can’t let you do that Dave” reaction many times. And there are no reasonable excuses to that.

Not because of the merger, but because management deliberately set out to change the entire company culture from being engineering-driven to being business-driven. Business-driven as in: cut corners to save money.

The Hue internet stuff was never useful to me, so even my v2 hub is only used on my local network or by HomeKit. I don’t blame them for EOLing it, but it’s super nice of them to only take down the v1 APIs and not kill the entire product.
Back in the 90's I saw someone had tried to build a car project like that. Ironically I commented that the idea seemed so very 70's (when there was a DIY for just about anything imaginable). Seems it's a whole lot older than I expected.

About vintage series cars, I honestly thought the PT Cruiser was going to go in that direction. They had that mobster-lite look to them.
I use fargate and pretty happy with it. Don't need big scale out - it supports $1M/year revenue so not huge, but LOVE the simplicity.

I just have the CLI commands in my dockerfiles as comments, so once I get things sorted locally using docker I update the task with some copy / paste. I only update occasionally when I need to make some changes (locally do a lot more).

The one thing I'd love to get my DOCKER image sizes down - they seem way too big for what they do but it's just easier to start with full fat images. I tried alpine images and couldn't get stuff to install / compile etc.
> forcing a private business into offering a public utility

But this was decided by Starbucks itself?

I totally agree that the public sector needs to step up and offer its own solution. But in the absence of that, this is better than nothing.
Furthermore, and I find it odd that us smarty pants math people keep forgetting this. Numbers make decisions easily justifiable. Those story points, those days tracking roadblocks. All that data, weather it's wrong or right, allows people to make decisions where they would otherwise have to justify with nebulous reasoning. The down side is, our point keep doesn't explain the reasoning behind delays and other bad numbers. Hopefully, we get better at quantizing this shit, but it's not going to go away. Their is something like a gravitational force in accountability. Those who can shirk it, to others or to numbers, must shirk it to have more power.

And honestly I'd rather blame numbers rather than people, the impersonality of bad numbers allows you retro without personal attacks and defensiveness, which allows more rapid improvement.
Ok, but I'm pretty sure that perjury is generally understood as being under oath and you aren't under oath when the judge is first reading you the charges against you and offering you the recourse of a public defender.

Although I suppose the court could hold you in contempt if it found you had the means and said you didn't. But I've never seen or heard of anyone being means checked.

I wouldn't have thought so, a charity would unlikely do anything tangible, not in practice. The "unit" cost would be too high to accommodate their needs, as they'd be exclusive. (i.e. they need a place to hang out and non-homeless people would not go there). Likely better off set against the general flow of people through SB's or wherever - not that that is a remotely complete solution.
For a more feature-full emacs IRC experience, I would recommend Circe[0]. It even supports showing images inline like slack.
