I lived+worked in Tokyo for 5 months. Compared to my experiences living in Seattle, Detroit, and Atlanta as well as visiting places like Chicago and San Francisco,

* To me, Tokyo feels like it was designed for people, not cars. It's entirely possible to bike / walk from one end to the other without exposing yourself to fast-moving vehicle traffic (and in fact, I have done so). There is an abundance of parks, greenways, and rivers throughout the city.

* Neighborhoods are blocked off from non-local traffic, making Tokyo much safer and quieter. Six-year-olds walk themselves to school!

* Short commutes by bike or train mean that more of my day is my own.

* Mixed-use zoning [1] means I don't need to travel as far for my basic needs. When I do want to travel far, bullet trains can zip me across the country in just a few hours.

* Cost of living is lower for my lifestyle. No need to own a car. Grocery costs are comparable to a big American city, but restaurants are cheaper and more abundant, with reasonable portions and healthier options.

* Rent is cheaper, since I don't mind living in a small space. There is normally no such option in American cities, especially with the "luxury apartment" fad. When I eventually want to buy a house, it will be affordable since housing is (rightly) NOT viewed as an investment in Japan.

* Good national health insurance system with cheaper medical costs than the United States.

* Even for non-Japanese speakers, there are plenty of opportunities to socialize and have new life experiences.

So yes, for me, I am certain daily life will be better (for me) in Japan. :)

This is crucial -- when these combinations happen they can drive people out of the field altogether.

Thanks! Yes, just shipped and looking for initial feedback / validation so thank you!
Are you good at back end, front end and DevOps?
if yes, which technologies you use and how do you stay on top of everything?

if no, why not?

I use rails mainly, also fairly skilled in frontend.
Im trying to decide wheter learning/using cloud, getting certified in aws is something I want/can do.
I’m afraid its too much to take on for one person.
All I see here are two percentages and a happy face and a sad face. It doesn't really have anything compelling for me to see. And if I'm more likely to need to get a model 3 serviced for something like a panel gap, I'd gladly take that over the risk of total ICE failure on a Toyota. The website says nothing about the severity of the problems, and it's really just the severe ones I care about.

"brouter-web" is an excellent online bike route planner, beyond the dozen profiles you can also edit a profile to your needs. For what you describe, the "safety" profile will avoid car traffic.
Yeah, Google's problem is they can't spend enough the money fast enough. Cost savings have marginal/zero benefit to the business long term.

While I'm not a fan of Intel's monopolistic position on x86, but if Intel really gets rid of manufacturing, it's going to be another accelerator of consolidation in the semiconductor industry. I see it as a threat and I hope it will not happen. The timeline which Intel's in-house fabs survive, is a better timeline.
I had the same reaction. "Sanctioned by" would be the correct usage here.
How do you make sure your makefile tasks are idempotent?
Intel getting beat by both AMD and TSMC. I'm not surprised a Qualcomm guy would be at the helm of that listing ship.
Complete speculation but perhaps Renduchintala wasn't providing the full accurate info to Swan.
> I wish there was an incrementing index starting from the top of git log, such that say the 15th commit down, I could just say `git show 15` and see that diff, instead of having to copy and paste the commit ID ( and use my mouse )

The 15th commit down can be shown with

git show HEAD~14

However, since the log itself does not show you the count this has limited utility since you’d have to either manually count or add some additional processing in order to insert counts into the output of git log.
Interesting. Are there any other fields which desperately need this cross culture?
This isn't about benefitting the single organization in the moment. This is about over time, moving everyone towards being more secure.
If he did restructure the companies he bought, he would definitely not be alone in that. I'd always heard (though I haven't looked it up) that he tried not to fiddle with the management of companies, since good management was one of the reasons he'd bought them. In any case, no other investor who sweeps out existing management and removes redundancy is the most successful investor in history, so Buffett must at least be doing something else.
You're generally correct, but there are exceptions. The payor still has the right to see claims if they want to, and sometimes they will carve out certain services from the insurance plan that's administered for them, usually for cost optimization reasons.

In a famous example, Wal-Mart carved out back surgery from their healthcare plan and instead negotiated directly with a few specific hospitals across the country, where all Wal-Mart employees who need back surgery then travel to for care.

More common is for big companies to contract with primary care groups to serve their employees directly. (The thinking is that incentives can be better there, since some primary care doctors stay afloat by selling their practices to large hospital chains that they then are encouraged to be aggressive about referring their patients to, raising total costs of care. I think Facebook has this sort of on-site primary care arrangement...this is particularly common in very high cost-of-living cities where it's hard to have what most would think of as a doctor's lifestyle as a primary care physician.
Permanently blinding someone is a uniquely terrible form of maiming them. Blinding thousands of troops in an instant is thus so horrific that it fits under the "too horrific for 'legal' war" agreements that countries use. It's like shooting shipwreck survivors or using chemical weapons.
Would you choose it if it were 0.5% cheaper?

Keep in mind that when you have a human pilot on board, they ultimately make all decisions about safety. And they have skin in the game. They are the ones who push back if they do not feel confident in weather conditions, or in the mechanical state of the aircraft to fly it. Would you prefer that those decisions be made by beancounters in a corporate office, who are more concerned about not having to refund people's tickets, than getting the plane safely from one destination to the other?

Compare the safety-obsession culture of commercial flight, versus, say surgeons - who, as a profession, aggressively push back on even trivial safety improvements - like checklists.

If the surgeon were killed every time they made a serious surgical mistake, you'd probably see a much better safety culture in that profession.

Expected outcome for the delays in 10nm and now the 7nm fabrication nodes...

What I find surprising is:

1. This former chief engineer was originally poached from Qualcomm back in 2016. Qualcomm was (and remains) not comparable to Intel for market and silicon development, so why was this hire made and picked to run the entire division?

2. The original group, Technology, Systems Architecture and Client Group (TSAC) is monolithic. For as a critical item as fabrication node development, that seems counter-intuitive.
About time, and I hope they don’t stop here. Time to clean house in upper management!

Intel was the crown jewel of the semiconductor industry in 2015. Their collapse is a travesty and leadership deserve to lose for this.
Shameless plug, but the product I'm currently working on does this: https://altitudenetworks.com/offboarding.html

Using an ntp server voids the point of using workers over http to browsers. Workers are at the endpoint in the world closest to the user, which is less latency, so you can guarantee time better.
> Interestingly, it seems the US is almost unique in our mass deindustrialization

The US manufacturing share of real GDP has been pretty much unchanged since the 40s - ie it’s growth has kept up with the rest of the economy.

I wonder if people will start to make co-working collectives? Imagine a number of people in an area such as a small town or an apartment building rent a work space where they work together remotely. They don't work for the same companies but they do the things like in Office Space.. birthday candy, water cooler, bowling league...

To the OP, I feel you! One thing I would say is that you can bet a lot of people are in your boat and people will invent new creative ways to connect.
AMD uses TSMC for manufacturing.
Another (similar) very irritating thing I've found with Drive is that while there is an option to remove a shared file from your drive (eg. if it's only listed because of link sharing), there are some that (seemingly at random) can't be un-shared.
How can it do that? Did it read “tana” and the meaning somewhere?
Reliable sources from within Intel have long indicated that you don't have to imagine :)

The biggest question I have about this news is how much of it is really Murthy's fault, and how much of it is an excuse for Swan to get rid of his biggest rival at the company? It could easily go either way. The previous succession battle can't have left a strong executive team behind... but what else is new for Intel?
This is what I use as well and I concur it can become pretty tedious. My biggest issue is with Amazon purchases - I can enter everything in at the time of purchase but Amazon will batch together various charges, so what I have in my ledger never matches my credit card statement unless I carefully sum the correct batches together. First world problems, I suppose.
It is going to be a little bit geopolitically terrifying if Taiwan/TSMC monopolizes cutting edge chip fab.
At least in the US, you can’t copyright your voice. Publicity rights is a can of worms depending on the jurisdiction.

Tangentially related, if you have your voice print as a security mechanism at a financial institution (Vanguard), you should ask them to turn that off.
I'm on book four of The Expanse series. They are long, but easy reads. I picked them up at the start of the month. Depending on how long your vacation is, you could start with the first three and probably have enough to last.

It's a fun series. If you are a fan of the show I think you really should read the books. Even if you haven't watched the show I think most people will enjoy the books. They are page turners and I've stayed up way to late almost every night since I got them.

Sounds like a great opportunity for Box and Dropbox to provided helpful forum answers about alternatives to Google Drive. Knowing Google they are probably training bots on these forum answers so the Google bots themselves might start recommending competitor products.
Samsung has pledged to heavily invest in fabs and try to beat TSMC while SMIC is gaining historic momentum too. Looks like good competition in the upcoming decade to me.
Except in your case you need all the rules about income and expenses. And loads of grey cases get weird (it is possible to have assets or liability of the wrong sign), and require serious accountancy expertise to know all the rules to get them back to the signs that you expect.

Or you can use negative numbers and everything just works.

Your financial software _will_ use my approach. As do the most sophisticated software of the most complicated companies. But their presentation gets mangled through a complicated series of rules for archaic reasons.
GP probably meant AMD is beating them on CPU design and TSMC at fab.
I agree with that. What would be interesting to read is how is data collected right now? Is it compared between automation and manual operation. Who is actually doing data crunching - airlines, Airbus or avionics supplier?

From what I've read it seems that the "leader" Tesla's fleet learning is largely a myth.
The amazon ones are truly amazing. I have wondered for years who is answering those. I had thought that questions were routed to previous buyers somehow, but that's never happened for me...
My company uses Okta now, and it's been the only SSO service I've used that's truly SSO.

Every other SSO service I've used only worked for certain accounts, or only for first party company accounts, or for specific things. Okta is the SSO that actually does what SSO stands for, and I've been loving it because I don't have to think about it.
If you want to navigate without using the mouse, I'd definitely suggest using vim-fugitive, or tig, or any number of git interfaces that let you browse with keyboard shortcuts.
I think part of the problem is a difficulty of language.

A manager with a single direct report isn't a manager. It's a worker with an assistant and they should work accordingly.

Manager term only really makes sense with more reports.
Or they'll ask for rafts of info that anyone paying attention can see is unrelated. Those posts, I always imagine them ending with "heh heh, THAT should keep Batman & Robin busy for a while! mwa ha ha, ha HA HA HA HA HAAA!"
this image contradicts everything I've maybe ever heard about "American manufacturing"'s decline. Not saying the image is wrong, it's just impressive how much one segment of industry has been politicized.
Tell that to the industrial midwest. If you look at statistics of # factories in the US over time, in every size category, the number of factories is going down.

Chip manufacturing is a special case as well. China is using massive state spending to build a competitive infrastructure in its country. Intel is the only competetive industrial chip fabrication presence in the US and should receive a similar focus from our leadership if we don't want to fully hollow-out the US' production capacity.

> it seems the US is almost unique in our mass deindustrialization. Japan, Germany and South Korea have avoided this.

This is very common misconception. The US has not deindustrialized other sectors have grown faster. US is the second largest country by industrial output. Third largest if you count EU as comparable unit.

Industrial era is over in all advanced economies. We live in post-industrial societies.
This is clearly false. None of Nvidia, AMD, or Qualcomm manufacture their own chips. These companies are valuable despite not having in-house manufactures, perhaps because of it.
Then this foreign company shouldn't do business in the EU. It's similar to those US laws they want to apply to the rest of the world
Opendoor Is Speeding Up Plans to Digitize Home Buying
Wasn't this investigated and found to be a misleading statistic?

For example:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-03-12/shares...

The graph in this article, from BEA data, shows that when you don't apply inflation tricks, manufacturing has dropped from 28% in the 50s to 12% today. And they're still factoring in adjustments due to the "increase in quality of computers", ie, one computer today is worth some large number of 1980s computers.

If it was just a firing I would be hopeful.

But a firing coupled with a reorg?

Good luck!

I imagine a lot of it is due to automation - there are in fact less assembly line jobs than there were in the 40s but economically the sector has continued to grow.
I doubt "turn off Google Maps until we reimplement it from scratch" is an acceptable business continuity risk.

It's important to note that the number of manufacturing jobs has fallen significantly. Manufacturing has gotten way more efficient since the 40s, so a lot fewer people are necessary.

That's why it's so politicized. Manufacturing is about 12% of GDP. That 12% used to go to a lot of people. Now it goes to the few people who own all the factories and the robots inside them.
Very difficult to execute because you have to get good at reading these pitches almost while they’re still in the arm of the pitcher, often starting your swing as they get released. A fastball is in the air for about 400ms or less before it crosses the plate.
Hosting is separate from the framework, and the static site hosts you mentioned are just webserver + CDN packaged together with optional build/CI layer and some extra APIs to handle form submissions and user logins. Considering the number of CDNs and 1-click hosting, and the ease of putting them together, it's all pretty much the same.

The big difference is that these static site frameworks are using React/Vue/etc for the frontend templating and interactivity instead of a server-side language that has it's own templating and might require complex JS integration. But the trade-off is that you give up that server-side ability or have to use 3rd-party services like a headless CMS instead.
Yeah. A dog never read a book and only has rudimentary understanding of language (if any - no idea, maybe they just pattern match cause and effect) but a dog-level AI would be incredibly valuable. And you can train a dog to be fairly competent in a task in less than a year.

A very odd choice of a person to develop a fab process
Does it? I am yet to update to the new iOS because too many things break with early releases, and I've gotten tired of broken releases. But right now I can swipe my phone to the left, and get a sub-second access to my camera. There's no way it's not pre-loaded for this to work so fast.

My question is whether developers, who are not Apple, would be able to load the camera with the same speed that Apple. Does iOS load Camera in the same way that Apps do, or does iOS have access to lower-level API?

I don't have the answer, but I'd be curious to know if someone's got the know-how.

It depends on the context - yes the number of manufacturing jobs has decreased (important in one context) but the industry at the macroeconomic level has been growing (to about keep up with everything else)

Also - when did accounting for inflation become a ‘trick’? No way you can look at nominal gdp on these time frames.

Thank you for your view. I am trying to practice keeping an open mind, or at least, think through things from different perspectives. It also helps me to communicate better.

I think another point that the Nash equilibrium brings up is that all actors are non-cooperative. I thought I was making a point that self-interest would make rainwater harvesting rational.

I think rainwater harvesting is rational, having seen good designs, and what it can do. It may even cost less than the solar panels, pump, digging out a reservoir, and the drilling... but I don’t think I know the exact numbers to make that kind of comparison.

There is also an assumption that you choose between one or the other, rather than a succession, where one method is employed in the small scale and gradually replaces the other.

Another issue is whether it would scale.

I had not even brought up how specific soil amendments and practices can greatly increase the water retention ability of the water —- which is also a part of rainwater harvesting.

I don’t know how well rainwater harvesting scale to industrial agriculture. I _think_ it can be scalable. Looking at the harvesting practices, you are scarring the head and collecting the sap. So it probably does not require planting in a way to optimize for using a combine to harvest.

Finally, I also recall the farmer’s mindset. I was watching this show about American farmers. One thing they say a lot is how they make gambles. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it does not. (Which I can say a lot about with regenerative agriculture that is also resilient against a single point of failure). So introducing new practices is risky for the farmer, and they would probably rather build on what they know works. As such, they would narrow their perceived viable choices, and it gets to the conditions for the Nash equilibrium.
