I did not know that SF was actually that tiny.
I guess influence is not necessary proportional to size.
I’m totally speculating about this before googling anything, but I suspect that time of day alone is not a huge factor, other than right after waking you’ll have more blood in your eyes and everything’s reddish for a few minutes, but it goes away quickly.

Illuminant is a big factor in appearance, so time of day matters a lot in the sense that if the sun is the primary illuminant, it changes color based on the angle in the sky and atmospheric conditions.

It’s an interesting question, and hard to answer due to perception and adaptation - our system is really good at compensating for things like illuminant and brightness and “color surround” (background colors). We adapt pretty fast to changes in condition (think about how long it took ... before Covid ... to adapt after walking out of a midday movie in a theater), and we’re better at seeing relative color differentials than absolute colors, so the physiological perception of blue isn’t likely to change after a day of sunlight (I guess). But just the memory of the day’s colors or yesterday’s color might affect what you think you see...

I'm seeing videos suggested by the YouTube algorithm from time to time about the Right to Repair and nothing is more infuriating then watching those people who basically sold their soul to say things that are not only blatantly baseless but also which are very against the public interest and will have negative impact on the environment for the generations to come.
I think it is not as simple as that.

Many companies have tried to move their development to India for example (I have a second hand anecdotal evidence from one) and it is not as simple as it seems.

There are huge cultural differences, meaning what is considered not acceptable in the west is common practice somewhere else like getting degree for bribes etc. You have to know how to navigate in such environment.

You may think that because your company employs people from multiple cultural backgrounds then the environment of the company is multicultural.

In reality the culture of the company is most likely following the protestant work ethics (it is my generalization, there are of course variations and exceptions).

>It is a really stupid idea

This comment assumes that in the past, governments around the world always made decisions to placate the U.S., as if whether the U.S. approval or disapproval is required for nation-building. While this may have been true for some countries that considered the U.S. response, it wasn’t widely known that if you made an earnest attempt at “new” social organisation, you’d be killed and replaced by a newly minted, U.S. approved fascist.

>Because that is how things work in the real world

It may look like that’s how things work; i.e. make the U.S. mad and suffer the consequences. But in 1970 there were multiple conversations about how to build a country, and by 1973 there was one less. I personally prefer a reality in which there are multiple methods for governing people, instead of this one-size-fits-all approach that, in 2020, appears to be ill suited for solving modern problems.

Interesting. I have two reddit accounts that I use for different subreddits, and they got totally different results.

One is my main that I use for most boring stuff, some niche stuff - it's one where if someone knew me well, they'd probably figure out it's mine - and I'm ok with that. The other is for discussion topics that I don't want tied to me in an obvious way (ie, politics, religion). I won't share the name of either account, but it's interesting that the "main" account, got 60% ESFP, and "discussion" account got 40% INTJ/INTP and 30% INFP/INFJ.

I don't feel like my writing style is incredibly different between each account, so I wonder if the specific subreddits that a user prefers contribute to the label. It's either that, or I really do self-censor more dramatically than I had imagined.

Edit: I've always got INTP or INTJ in past MBTI tests - though it's been near a decade since I took one last.

[rant warning]

I don't know why, but I'd say at least 70% of the advice I see on The Internet about climate control is advocating for some kind of best-of-class heating solution.

The cold-climate-centric mentality is almost as bad as the quite prevalent US-centric mentality one often runs into.

Look people, some of us live in a climate where 60F/15C in the day is a miracle & 40F/5C at night is fscking cold!

Something like radiant heat flooring would be the biggest waste of money around here. Not even the I-don't-even-know-what-to-do-with-my-money rich people use that shit in their ginormous mansions.

The C in HVAC stands for Cooling. And IME cooling is a much harder problem to solve than Heating (so many ways to get heat -- burn shit, run electricity through it, steal some from the ground or sun, etc. But cooling, not as many options, and typically more complicated than heating.

> Unless the company is getting less value, they can stand to pay the same no matter where you are physically

Sure, they can "stand" to pay the same. But why would they. As you yourself said:

> Rates will be set by market forces, not any concept of "fairness."

Ie, companies are going to pay you as little as they can get away with. If the market-price for a good SF developer is $200k, and the market-price for an equally good Las Vegas developer is $100k, then your pay will trend towards $100k as soon as you move from SF to LV. Maybe inertia and your manager's largess will prevent it from being an overnight change, but that's the long-term trajectory you can expect.
Monopoly as concept rather than monopolies as instances. Though yes, titling is hard.
Lots of ways to ultimately handle slop. Stepper motor vs servo motor makes a big difference. I didn't know if I wanted speed or accuracy when I stared. Also had to make the decision of belt driven vs screw. Ultimately, accuracy was most important, so lead screw with a stepper. It's just a pain to carry around as the lead screw dictates the size of the rig.

> groups and ideologies that are beyond reason and recall, especially when those said groups are overtly and unmistakably intolerant themselves.

I think all leftists and most conservatives are intolerant, and some of them probably think my libertarian ideology is intolerant.

If we didn't think our political opponents were intolerant, we wouldn't be their opponents in the first place.

You may say "not all leftists and conservatives are intolerant" but the only difference is that your definition of intolerance is more lax. In the end it all boils down to "those that disagree too much with me are intolerant", where "too much" is defined by your subjective perception.

I could propose a ban on all speech that calls for tax increases, because high taxes are unfair and harmful, just like holocaust denial, but that would be extremely arrogant (besides being against my principles).
I don’t own one personally, but I use one at the office daily. They sound incredible. I have some google smart speakers and they’re pretty underwhelming in terms of sound. The voice assistant is excellent, though.

I’d much prefer the sound of the HomePod but it’s hard to justify the expense when I have something that works fine. If I could do it over, I’d absolutely spend way more for the better audio experience. While I use the assistant for things apart from music, music is still more than 99% of what comes out of that thing.

You’re not wrong, but there’s also no way in hell Apple was not going to keep their pipeline moving so long as they were able to. It’s not like Apple hasn’t been affected by the pandemic as much as everyone else has; stalling to bring TouchID into this year’s model probably wouldn’t have seen this series of phones released until almost summer next year. Might as well release what they’ve prepared and hopefully rejigger next year’s lineup if it didn’t call for any kind of inclusion of TouchID.

I have a work and personal phone, the work phone has FaceID and I do prefer it, but I intentionally swapped my personal phone out for an iPhone SE because it has TouchID. Any other year, I would have preferred FaceID, but given current conditions and possible future conditions, I would like it to really be either/or with both the FaceID array on top and TouchID built into the side button at some point in the future.

I think it can happen simply through one serverless offering becoming very popular and other services (or open source projects) trying to reimplement the API of that offering. To some extent, this happened with Google App Engine. (AppScale)

I think cloud customers are savvy to the lock-in. That we're having this conversation in evidence of that. Perhaps AWS can achieve adoption of Lambda without needing to cater to customers who are cautious about getting locked in, but any challenger might find that it's much easier to gain customers if they also provide some form of an escape hatch.

Re: "different times", VAX sysadmins in those days of "bang-bang" addresses were like telegraph offices. We didn't yet have what we called "glass teletypes", so we would "post" to a newsgroup by writing the post on paper and posting it in the sysadmin's inbox (an actual box). He would type it in sometime during the day, and our leased-line connection would exchange messages with MIT several times a day. Each morning, the sysadmin would print out the previous day's postings in each of the several newsgroups we followed. One stack of fan-fold, green-striped lineprinter paper for each newsgroup that we cared about (maybe 4-6). During the day, we would pass the "newsgroup" around the office like a daily newspaper.
i'd suggest some more fleshing out to be meaty and coherent enough to comment substantially. but a general critique would be that the term "monopoly control" seems constraining, when what you seem to be talking about more generally is centralization (vs. decentralization).

the connection to the economic concept of monopoly (which, for that one commenter who will otherwise insist, is not one company crowding out all others in a market, but rather a company having effective control of a market regardless of relative size) seems tenuous at best. how is propaganda, censorship, and surveillance inherent properties of an entity controlling the friend social network market (i.e., facebook) rather than an inherent property of the centralization of social networks (for instance)?
Yeah, I’ll add that demand hasn’t gone anywhere, in fact, it’s higher than ever.

Not always, thankfully... Newer versions of Cisco AnyConnect (for example) can do name-based split tunnel. The client resolves the address then dynamically adds a route for the split tunnel as it's needed.

Ofc you don't quite get that.

But the longer I've worked for big companies, the less I think a big company needs these.

There are departments for new ideas, they can be calculated for profitability by a different department.

An engineer has a great idea from brainstorming with coworkers, how often does that make it into production? Instead of focusing on the job, the Engineer is working on a project that never happens.

I guess that sounds pessimistic, but I've rarely seen anything come from the bottom up.
> ...Uh, what is the argument you're trying to make here?

That if they are not putting in some serious effort then "That indirectly indicates their priority for the issue for them."

Seeing how I am uninformed on what they have said as of yet I was interested in getting insight into their position and priorities.

> That if people aren't making enough of an "effort" in some way, that their critiques should not be taken seriously?

They have to prioritize, there is nothing wrong with that. I have to prioritize too. Knowing their priorities is useful information while evaluating their critiques.

> If you don't think sticking your neck out as a prominent intellectual like Chomsky or Hitchens to defend neo-nazi's right to lie in the public square.

There is definitely a difference between writing a critique and working consistently towards changing a law. It has no bearing on the seriousness of their crtique, but it does on the seriousness of their commitment and priorities.
I think Waymo won't have too much trouble actually finding the money to do it, but it's quite wasteful to have a $100 billion cost on something where it's in the vicinity of $100 billion revenue* for your competitor.

If this is revolutionary, why isn't everybody following his method? My skeptic alarm is going off, but also all of the investigative content I read about it seems to support the claims. I'm puzzled on why this hasn't seen mass adoption.
> you have to stay indoors for a while because it's too cold

The advantage with cold is that it’s possible to do something about it. You can always layer up and get better materials for your layers. I spend hours skiing outside at like -15F and am actually comfortable. In hot weather though, once you’re sprawled out naked on the ground, you’ve exhausted your means to get cooler without some kind of machine.
I am running it through a certain set of filters. From my SEO days I recalled that new websites are often penalized based on the certain keywords in search engines. Considering this is a new site, and there is 300 million plus posts and I am not able to read and moderate it, this is the best way I know of to deal with it. But perhaps you're right and I should get rid of it. I'll think about it. This is a valid comment.
> I see Jaron Lanier’s position as exactly the opposite, in an interesting accounting of second order effects.
Interesting. I had the opportunity to talk to him after his talk in Boston, he was pretty pessimistic and struggled to define his conception of humanity without a negative referent.

> You are imagining that AI is going to be fantastically impactful in reducing human drudgery ...
Nope I never said that nor do I imagine do humanity in a world where AI magically solves all problems. I call for more conversations about ethics because I do believe it has the potential for negative implications on society.

My definition of humanity lies outside of technology and is ontological. Here's a thought experiment where Jaron's definition of humanity fails. In a world where we have infinite resources and everything, what do you do. It's thought experiment I run often to ground my values and try to define myself as more than my work. I think of those around me, my time with my loved ones and friends. Humanity and meaning becomes for me the ability to enjoy and witness the lives of those around me, the relationships I cultivate and shared experience I have. If Jaron is preplexed by a kid asking what's the point of life if robots can do everything, his framing of humanity seems severely lacking.

> To give the lion’s share of the credit/benefits/power to AI/algorithms vests all the agency in the hands of those who can control/influence them, and condemns those who cannot to a life “below the API” (even if they might be crucial to generate training data) where their voices are drowned out.

This is not unique to AI. The digital divide existed before AI. It's a collective action problem with opportunities for public policy solutions.

> As JL says multiple times, he is very excited about (the same) AI research when we perceive it as “just” code/models/linear-algebra ...
Sure define AI research whatever way you want. That's not particularly helpful though to change the outcome he fears. It doesn't provide a way to predict unintended or intended consequences of fundamental research questions in context of societal impacts.
Established companies will allow mass remoting, and new start-ups will step in to take advantage of the temporarily collapsed rents. The new companies will gain an advantage from in-person dynamics that you can't generate over Zoom, versus the companies that go heavy on remoting. Start-ups will thrive from it, then the established companies will tamp down their remoting as they see the brain drain from new companies having superior work environments and pulling talent away.

That's what the cycle will look like.

Like everything else in tech, the overzealousness about remoting is a partial fad, that will swing too far, and then you'll have to endure 487 articles on HN about how remoting was the wrong way to go ("Why remoting was the wrong choice for us" says the future Medium post) and in-person dynamics are superior in every way. Tech is nothing if not a fad chasing perma teenager constantly repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
Not even a little bit. Google is advertising "public restroom" and you're saying "well they didn't actually say I had to go IN THE TOILET". No, they didn't say that, because they expected you to use basic common sense.

As of April 13, 2017 when that blog post went live, Podman did not yet exist. Dan Walsh had not yet made the initial commit that began Podman's life: https://github.com/containers/podman/commit/2b74391cd5281f6f...

So I think it's safe to say that Podman was not mentioned in the article because it did not exist when the article was written.

These days Podman is alive and well. I use it a lot more than Docker now. The fact that Podman can run/create Kubernetes Pods (without needing K8s) is a compelling feature for me.
A good guess, that's exactly what I did.
