It's exceptionally common. I've encountered what seems like a wildly unreasonable number of otherwise smart, competent, capable devs possessed of the bizarre belief that having a firewall or NACLs means they don't have to:

* Have authentication on their services, nevermind authorization.
* Use TLS on their microservices.
* Patch their libraries.

Or in any way pay attention to security. The egg is a very common network security model.
Elon duped everyone by selling hardware to enable FSD before such a thing was even proved possible. Those people were scammed, fair and square.

> I think the key is loose coupling in the extreme.

Yeah, I agree for sure. I think that's kind of the key whether you're building a distributed system or a monolith, though. e.g. built on small interfaces that are easy to implement. In general, I think the thing about microservices is that they're a lot more sensitive to initial direction because of the added complexity of major architecture changes.

I'm the main developer of Thundre.com, which is just entering public beta-testing.

Last year when my wife came up with the idea, my first thought was, "Isn't this a bit of a niche market? I mean, how many people are really going to need to interact by videochat?" Covid-19 arrived a few months later...

We're aiming to help people looking for extra income, and at the same time help people in lock-down who can't find the advice they need in the physical world, but could benefit from videochat assistance.

Videochat technology may be everywhere now, but what Thundre provides is:
(1) the means of discovering who to videochat to
(2) a push-button solution for selling your services via videochat

You can create your presenter profile from this page:

Note: creating a profile already will reserve your "Thundre.com/<user-name>" URL, which could avoid disappointment later!

It depends what you mean by “urban area” - somewhere like Palo Alto, where you’ve got nice big roads and a few turns before getting on the freeway and lots of sun? It’s not too bad, I’ve driven with colleagues there in their Teslas.

My current school run in London (small streets, changeable weather, congestion, roadworks a plenty) - absolutely awful. I imagine it’s similar for New York. I have been driving my Model 3 in London a lot more recently due to the pandemic, and autopilot is nowhere near ready. Almost worse than useless.

Also to be honest most doctors deal with what is wrong with you or really wrong with you.

This isn't because they don't care, it's just not where their daily attention is.
Agreed! This'll be very insightful. I've always found the mainstream understanding of neurotransmission to be annoyingly one-dimensional. E.g. AFAIK dopamine is very ubiquitous within the brain, and has as much to do with reward as it does with motor function, so the way we only equate it with reward seems so limited. Seems we're slowly, but promisingly, moving beyond the age of "poking" the brain with random inhibitors and observing mere relations.
SF spent $1.5 billion building housing. Newsom's budget allocates $550 million over several years for the entire state to build new housing. (SF population is ~800k as compared to the state population of over 35 million.) The rest (~$750 million) is for general homeless services, including mental health care. Note that alot of the beds purchased with the funds have already gone to house people displaced by wildfires.

As I said, it's clear from the sums and structure of the funding that Newsom isn't actually trying to replicate the SF program. But it's easy for conservative pundits to make hay out of things (especially when the announcements themselves are tailored to placate the left) rather than support actual reform efforts. As I said, the politics in California is fscked up. But using Newsom as a scapegoat merely evinces partisan blinders.

Correct. Why is the homeless problem in San Francisco so much worse than in San Diego, despite the latter having nicer climate? Because the goodies are in San Francisco and people know it.

I had the same thought initially, but the reality is that the amount of rework required in terms of design, development, QA and production (parts, production lines) will be huge at Apple’s scale. You probably have to plan features like that more than a year out, so they’d have to skip this generation (which they will have invested a huge amount it), which realistically was never going to happen.

I agree that the lack of Touch ID feels like a fairly big deal though. Face ID is useless right now and I don’t see things getting back to “normal” in terms of no mask wearing for some time, so I think I will wait and see if they bring it back next year.

Maybe I'm just not up on the startup or smaller company scene, but isn't it still pretty important to acquire those customers before you worry about whether or not they'll take your systems down? I'd expect that to give you plenty of time to build the monolith, figure out if it's too brittle, too unscaleable, etc, and maybe ground-up rewrite at low cost before you solidify too much by breaking things up

Even so, let's say you need to scale very very quickly right away, it's so much easier to profile and optimize a single process. I've been successful in optimizing e.g. a Go library from 100 KB/s to 700MB/s, with about two weeks of work (`pprof` and `go bench` are amazing tools), which then handled 20k tps in an application, and could have scaled out but didn't actually need to. I've also gotten millions of rows in a postgres database to be full-text searchable in under 10ms, also with maybe only a week of work. I can't readily think of a time (and I've had plenty of opportunity these days) where I've successfully diagnosed and optimized underperforming distributed systems, despite having spent months discussing and attempting to measure performance issues and trying various "yeah maybe that could work" fixes.

Granted, It's almost certainly always been the case of microservices for the sake of microservices, but I always come back to the lack of tooling (no compiler to tell you that you broke some contract), the siren call of polyglot microservices that makes it a lot harder to build common tooling, and the temptation to prematurely send microservices to different teams (further adding to the lack of agility), as really solid reasons to stay smaller as long as possible.
That is comprehensible except it isn't related to what I said. This thread isn't about gender - it's about sex.

It's good you haven't understood people saying sex isn't biological, because it's not a defensible position. Hopefully their voices don't become more prominent.
It's at least directional. In the other direction, a household is typically more than one income, whereas $175k is a per employee figure.
Probably has more to do with the cost of doing business in these countries. High taxation / regulation has a real cost.

> In 2003 Bostrom imagined a technologically adept civilization that possesses immense computing power and needs a fraction of that power to simulate new realities with conscious beings in them. Given this scenario, his simulation argument showed that at least one proposition in the following trilemma must be true: First, humans almost always go extinct before reaching the simulation-savvy stage. Second, even if humans make it to that stage, they are unlikely to be interested in simulating their own ancestral past. And third, the probability that we are living in a simulation is close to one.

The setup to the trilemma always felt like begging the question. That’s a really, really big if.

This was the deciding factor for me. I use my phone far less nowadays because many of its functions are served by other hardware at home, so the most important function left exclusively to the phone was the Wallet/Apple Pay. I would have preferred a better camera, but I’m not out taking nearly as many pictures as I used to, so the camera is fine. Post-pandemic I can always swap out my phone for a newer one, or rather I look forward to it.
Does it matter? What does it even mean to live in a simulation?
I think one of the more useful ones not mentioned would be idempotency. That is, ensure for any given message, processing it multiple times will be at least tolerated, but ideally yield identical state. This eases so many complexities of dealing with failures (it's always safe to to retry, even if the receipient may have processed your first attempt), coherency, etc etc.

My hypothesis is that ethics has to evolve to match technology development for any advanced civilization, to avoid self-destruction.
With things like quantum tunneling where particles cross barriers that they probably shouldn't, and distant objects in space moving faster away from us the farther they get, one idea I've had is that naively implementing the universe's simulation in floating point numbers could explain those anomalies pretty easily. You get a lack of precision when your scale gets too tiny or too large.

First of all, I definitely appreciate the perspective of a Public Defender with experience in this area. I spent a year working as an EMT picking up my fair share of patients on 5150 holds from PD off the street and bringing them to the ER or to the nearest mental health emergency receiving facility. I do agree, this kind of stuff is not pretty up-close. I've been the scared kid in the back of the box with the guy credibly threatening to murder me.

If we had a system where people could be placed on a medical hold, and taken somewhere to receive humane treatment with a safe environment to get better, my god, I wouldn't have any problem with that at all. But, I have spent my fair share of time bringing patients into county mental health facilities, and oh man they can be kind of terrifying places. The system, as it exists now, is not even remotely capable of what you describe.

It would be great to see a system for humane, limited-term institutionalization with long-term follow-up like you're talking about. If there's a coherent policy platform somewhere that outlines what this would look like and how we get from A to B, I would love to see it.

>Then you have the worse neighborhoods, the problem there is a lack of interest or time of the parents rather than money on schools (they get more than the affluent neighborhood ones, take the north of Paris as an example and look at their infrastructures vs the ones in, say, Versailles).

The same in the US. New York City spends more per student than anywhere else in the US (https://www.silive.com/news/2019/06/how-much-does-new-york-c...). Baltimore, an incredibly poor and run-down city, spends the third most. #4-6 and #8 are all wealthy suburbs of Washington DC, but their schools are all far better than those of Baltimore or NYC (on average), despite Baltimore spending slightly more per student and NYC spending 60-70% more.

As you say, parents taking interest in their children's education is far more important than money spent.
With the advantage that the house can then be sold to the next set of parents after the kids have finished with school.

Making Facebook Oversight Board Pro-Social
What's exactly wrong with Gatsby?

This may not be true for your website, but on many Gatsby-driven websites there's heavy reliance on JavaScript that doesn't actually add very much. The really good thing about Gatsby is that it makes moving between pages more efficient because it only downloads the content that changes and then it leverages React to seamlessly transition the parts that change when you move from one page to another. It does that really well. The problem is that a lot of websites that use Gatsby are blogs, and that's not how people read at blogs; most of the time people go straight to a page from Google, and then go back to Google after they've read that page. They don't move around the website. All that JS to make that happen nicely does nothing.

That's certainly the experience I had when my website was Gatsby based. I was sending people a chunk of JS that that just didn't benefit from. If Gatsby suits your visitor model then it's a great tech choice, but I found that something even more static (11ty in my case) worked better for people who came to my website.

Also, for what it's worth, I get 4 100s in Lighthouse. :)
I did the same excluding breathing exercises. It has come to be the thing I am looking forward. For some reason, I feel good after. I started because I was super sickly, getting common cold all the time. It seems to slowly get better.
I did cold showers upto 10minutes, cryotherapy -90celsius upto 6min, hydrogen cryotherapy (-130c) upto 4 min. And only the supercold hydrogen gave me a (very) noticable and pleasant endorphine boost. Haven't tried ice baths yet.

The whole point of "literally" is to mean "this is not hyperbole or exaggeration, I mean the thing that I am saying". So using it to exaggerate can be confusing. Of course in most cases you can figure out what the person meant with a bit of effort, but that's true of any mistake.
