I'm not sure that last part is true. The building hasn't been delivered yet. Google did announce the lease a couple years ago, but I doubt that lease has commenced as the building is still under construction.

That being said, Google does seem to snag big properties in a down market. They bought 111 Eighth Avenue back in 2010 around the financial crisis.
This is how I feel as well (having driven many miles with a Comma), but I have no idea if I represent an average driver or if my perceived attentiveness matches what is really happening.

I do think that it is very easy for me to spend longer looking at a screen or button when the autopilot is driving for me, since there is no immediate penalty (lane line, rumble strips, etc) for looking away.
I guess something like Android Oboe, macOS DriverKit, Windows Runtime C++ Template Library, or C++/WinRT could be considered old libraries then.

If you really want one, have one, don't fight it.

Just ensure that every time the urge comes up, you say to yourself:

"Do I really want this cigarette RIGHT NOW, or can I have it in five minutes?"

If you cannot wait then have it.

In five minutes time when. the deferral has expired, ask the same question.

Don't fight yourself, agree with yourself.

And don't attack yourself for making the decision to have one - just ensure that the next cigarette gets the same question.

This process might happen hundreds of times but don't worry about it, just keep asking the question.

It's a long series of very short term decisions.

It doesn't work if you have a rule in place that you cannot have a cigarette - this approach means you can, so your subconscious can relax - you are not depriving it of what it wants.
Sandia Labs did some amazing supercomputer simulation work related to the Tunguska event, and produced a set of fascinating simulation videos [1].

It looks like these simulations were referenced in the illustration & chart just ahead of the Conclusion section.

Also some pretty interesting results in the Sandia study:
>> “The asteroid that caused the extensive damage was much smaller than we had thought,” says Sandia principal investigator Mark Boslough of the impact that occurred June 30, 1908. “That such a small object can do this kind of destruction suggests that smaller asteroids are something to consider. Their smaller size indicates such collisions are not as improbable as we had believed.”

Definitely worth checking out

I think that this restriction is good, though. For other uses, there are other file formats (Gemini protocol supports the use of other file formats too, e.g. you can use audio/ogg or audio/opus for audio, image/png or image/xpixmap for pictures, etc; a client might not support them and a user might not want them, so really you should use text if that is suitable (I am one who would rather have an explanation in text rather than a video), although you can still have links to other files too if needed) and other protocol (e.g. NNTP for slow communication (including if you want to allow comments for your articles), IRC for fast communication, Telnet/SSH for interactive applications, and other protocol should be made up for database access then you can use a SQLite extension to access them) (the text/gemini format can include links to other protocols too).
I would add government requirements to the list of problems. You can't just build a house the way you like/can and live there like you could in the past. Today you have to get the authorities approve every detail in your house construction design, hire licensed builders, use certified materials etc. This makes sense in cities but is required in rural areas too, all over the developed world. As a kid I spent some time in a number of houses built by their owners out of scrap and "hobby market" materials with just their hands, simple tools and no serious design and that was great.

Yes, I know that. We are talking about rates.
"Individual glance metrics calculated at the epoch-level and binned by 10-s units of time across the available epoch lengths revealed that drivers in near-crashes have significantly longer on-road glances, and look less frequently between on- and off- road locations in the moments preceding a precipitating event as compared to crashes. During on-road glances, drivers in near-crashes were found to more frequently sample peripheral regions of the roadway than drivers in crashes. Output from the AttenD algorithm affirmed the cumulative net benefit of longer on-road glances and of improved attention management between on- and off-road locations."

> pushing insights to users

This is part of the expectation of business analysts, that they will surface and communicate data not immediately being asked for by executives or other stakeholders. This usually means running a meeting and presenting findings, and then pairing with another stakeholder to flesh out further opportunity.

If there's no one to pick up the baton, there's very little that can be done about that.

I mean yeah, you could, but forging identity documents is illegal in most places with functioning legal systems, for obvious reasons. Forging a government ID and presenting it as a real one is a giant minefield that most people probably don't want to be in.
This level of identity proof isn't that secure.

If we absolutely need to have software that has this level of identity, then we need to build infrastructure to support it. That infrastructure already exists to some degree as notaries and could be expanded and modernized to allow privacy preserving identity verification.
But not everything can go through the USB-C cable you have on hand.

That's the annoying bit with USB-C. We may have (almost) standardized on a single plug/socket shape, but we didn't escape the essential complexity - the fact that one type of connection cannot handle all the use cases we'd like it to. We just pushed that complexity into cables. Instead of having to deal with separate data, network and graphics ports, users now have to deal with potentially separate data, network, graphics and charging cables. I'm not convinced this is an improvement, because USB-C cables are a bottom-feeder market that will not hesitate to outright scam the buyer.

At this point I'm not sure it's an improvement. I feel like the optimum point would be a small amount of standards targeting mutually incompatible applications. That, or forcing some specification requirements on USB-C, and standardize some capability labels.
Recently, I bought another watch that fits your description + it's absolutely gorgeously looking - Casio Oceanus T200. It's a dress watch with a mesmerizing dial and a beautiful case with some superb polishing that is done in the same factory where they produce cases for Grand Seiko. As an additional gimmick you also get Bluetooth - the watch can connect with your phone every night and seemlessly adjust the time, so it's basically always spot on. They sell it in Japan for around 400$.
Since it can do push notifications, prob some telemetry phones home to corporate around user agent/ip, minimal fingerprinting like that.

This part is interesting, future feature, wonder how they detect that on a personal device:
“ Jailbreak detection
If a user installs SecureAuth Authenticate on a jailbroken or rooted phone, SecureAuth will detect the occurrence and will not allow the user to set up a SecureAuth account. (Coming Soon)”

Ultimately, read your AUP and BYOD policy and see what you did/did not sign away wrt monitoring on personal devices. Quite likely you can raise an HR stink if this app had more than just basic telemetry and they mandate it to be on a personal device.
After all, facts are facts, and although we may quote one to another with a chuckle the words of the Wise Statesman, 'Lies--damned lies--and statistics,' still there are some easy figures the simplest must understand, and the astutest cannot wriggle out of.

I miss working from Google Campus and attending tech events in the surrounding streets. Not a day passed without meeting someone new and interesting, being inspired by the work of others as they describe it to you, even just checking out the student-like noticeboard of startups looking for co-founders for this or that idea. None of these have a compelling replacement online.
Is commercial real estate necessarily a better use of space than a place for kids to play team sports?
i agree with mostly everything you said but i think your calculation is wrong. to figure out how to map addresses not only the destination port can be taken to account but the addresses themselves and the source port too. that makes 28k (that figure is questionable too) concurrent connections per single connected IP and port on the far end. i am also somewhat certain if this would become a real issue the fix would probably involve mapping connections using more state like sequence numbers in TCP or similar things instead of abandoning this idea entirely and for good.
> Everything I read on the internet suggests that UK tech salaries are extremely low, and that the profession has a low level of respect overall.

For salaries, we're better paid than the vast majority of white-collar workers to the point it becomes a running joke. I once got asked by a standup comedian doing a set what my job is, I said software dev, and he answered "blimey you must be fuckin loaded". We're not at the level of the US, but we're probably higher than most of Western Europe, at least after CoL (e.g. https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/uk-developer...). It can be tricky to compare salaries across countries, but I can't imagine the massive amounts of European developers came to London for the climate.

As for respect, I don't really know what you mean. Beyond professions like nurses/social workers, I (and I hope most people) don't really base respect on profession. We probably get more professional respect in the workplace, we get away with stuff the other departments definitely don't, but personal respect? Just doesn't come into it, unless you're a social worker or nurse or something.
Ah, ok. They make it sound like it _has_ to be their flavor of OTP.

That's...slightly better, I guess. I still want passwords though as the base level.

It’s akin to sitting in the passenger seat of a car - you can be idly looking out the windshield, not really thinking about driving, and your brain will freak out the moment the driver doesn’t do what you expect. It’s like my brain always has a predicted path and velocity, and deviation from that is so easy for me to detect I do it subconsciously.

Maybe other people aren’t like that, but I certainly am. I find myself wishing there was an FSD-like depiction of what’s going on in the driver’s brain, to answer the “you _are_ planning to stop eventually, right?” question.
I can't see any other nation becoming the world superpower any time soon with the exception of China. The US is unique in that it has a trifecta of components necessary to maintain its power. It has the natural resources, it still has a great talent pool and one thing it seems to have over everyone else is a level of net immigration that allows it to mask the population implosion that is happening in all other western nations and China. China may very well surpass the US or at the very least rival them but I just don't see how they are going to overcome the population implosion that is coming for them in a few decades.
My main reason is the same as mindcrime's and daggersandcars's: I found that every now and then I'd buy books I'd forgotten I already had, and it was annoying.

At one point I thought there would be value in recording where in the house each book was, but it soon became obvious that there wasn't so I stopped. If space considerations required some of them to be in boxes, it would become valuable again. (I do tag each book with what it's about, and shelve things by subject, so in some ambiguous cases the catalogue might be useful for finding books. Hardly ever has been, though.)

It's occasionally useful when I know there was a book with such-and-such in the title but can't remember the author or the exact title (though not very useful since usually in such cases it's also possible to find the relevant shelf and browse until I find it. But you can't grep a bookcase.)

And if I didn't have a list I'd wonder every now and then how many books are actually in the house, and waste time estimating.

As mindcrime says, this isn't something that has much value for a few bookcases of books, but the value increases as the number of books grows.
say what you will about tumblr's UI/UX, I'm still a bit shocked that Twitter never copied their "hold down mouse click/finger tap on reblog button to immediately reblog without adding commentary" feature. years ago when I still used tumblr I found that particular feature to be groundbreaking on par with pull-to-refresh.

Connectors are rated for a given number of connect/disconnect cycles. For USB-A it's a minimum of 1500[1].

If your laptop has a cheap connector which isn't rated for more, and you do two cycles a day (start/end of day, start/end lunch), then you'll go through the rated number of cycles in less than two years.

Doesn't mean the connector will fail right away but it might start to act up. Connectors are not forever.

So much of this. I have seen so many developers switching between frameworks every two or three years, wasting away substantial accumulated knowledge and bags of tricks, the kind that allow you to make a living as a consultant because you can crank out CRUDs and REST endpoints like it's nobody's business.

Some parts of the framework feel a little long in the tooth. The admin could use a rewrite with CBVs; the forms API just doesn't look so good compared to serialization abstractions in Rest frameworks nowadays.

Still, it is a weapon, combined with Postgres, container-based deployments and a half dozen Django apps, there's few frameworks that come even close in terms of productivity and polish.
For much of the world, yes.
It's a question I ask often in interview, how do you upload a 5GB file over the network with only 1MB of memory.
I didn't write those things though.

"So you don’t think they care that their members can keep their jobs long-term? Is that not in their interest?"

I don't care one way or the other. I'm saying that a Union is an organized body of power that protects it's own self-interest, and nobody else's.

"To imply that all unions without fail will push for maximum possible compensation in the short-term, at the expense of any other concern, "

I didn't write or imply that.

I'm wrote that Unions will use their power to maximize the returns above all else. Obviously, if they try to negotiate $200K salaries for their staff, they know they will be out of jobs.

However - every single dollar of profit to shareholders, added surplus to buyers/suppliers would be considered 'their money' in this equation, to the extent they can, they'll want to take all of those surpluses - exactly like other participants. Do you think their suppliers will sell for a dime less than they can? Will their customers pay a dollar more than they have to? Will management want to pay more than they have to?

A Union is not a benevolent thing, it's just a power centre acting in it's own interest and that's it.

Ever seen musician's gear?

Even the cheapest, smallest mixer boards support XLR, RCA, 1/4", and often USB for audio I/O -- and have many of them.

Because yes, everyone has something essential to their flow, and number of configurations grows exponentially.
Agreed. If I were to switch to a Framework laptop, the Mac trackpad would be the loss I'd feel the most (closely followed by the DisplayPostscript-powered macOS window manager).
Pure nicotine seems to be harmless except in overdose, the main side effect being a compulsive need to consume more nicotine. Whether the delivery mechanism in vaping, year after year, is harmless, is a different question. Anecdotally, I used a nicotine vape to quit smoking -- and they're wonderful for that -- but when I quit that as well, my chest went through a phase where it cleared out all manner of gunk not unlike when I quit smoking cigarettes.
Maybe a great laptop would have 4 usb-c, hdmi and sd card reader? We can be ambitious :)
> It all comes down to what your everyday requirements and tolerances allow for

Agree completely. For me, Apple's USB-C only ports isn't an issue as everything I use plugs in via one or two TB3 cables (depending on personal vs work laptop) and daisy chains from the monitor or a TB3 dock so no dongles needed at all, but I still appreciate the design choice Framework made and think it's a good strategy.
And the immigration system. I'd love to move to the US but the family-focused immigration system makes it real tricky compared to Australia (could get a visa in 6 months WITHOUT a job offer) or Canada (working holiday visa gives me 3 years working access no problem).

It's a nice combo of pretty stable, very productive, good technology. The postgresql integration is wonderful, so I like the database choice and they've had good support for postgresql for a while (a lot of other frameworks really were MySQL focused). Mix in container based deploys - great!
When I bought my T440s in 2013 (8 years ago now), I could push it to 18 hours with wifi off. And could get 10 hours plus with wifi. I seriously doubt Windows or Mac OS would have gotten much more juice out of it.
I don't think the struggle is there as the salaries did not start growing yet.
The vast majority of those frameworks will not make it past two or three years until maintainers give up or the usebase switches to the next shiny thing.

Rails and Django are the pieces of web tech most likely to stay in the game.
"invested" is a bit of a misnomer here. He bought several of them for his employees. He was courted by Framework to buy into the company, but as far as I know, he noped out of that deal.

> High speed, high momentum vehicles are a larger danger to low speed, low momentum vehicles than they are to other high speed vehicles.

The danger is only relevant if a collision occurs. Motorcyclists also use the roads and they're signicantly lighter than the average passenger vehicle. The average passenger vehicle is signficantly less massive compared to a bus, dump truck, or tractor-trailer.

The key to avoiding collisions is to follow the rules of the road in terms of right-of-way rules, signaling in advance one's intention to change course, and positioning when preparing to make a turn at an intersection.

> Infrastructure that can be used by high speed vehicles must be designed for high speed vehicles

Except that typical surface streets are not designed for high speeds. There are numerous intersections, vehicles waiting to turn, traffic control devices that require one to slow or stop before proceeding, etc. The only infrastructure that meets the criterion you mention are limited access highways where exit and entry are via interchanges as opposed to at grade intersections.

> Humans aren't rational - segregated infrastructure is much more appealing to users of the low speed vehicles

While it is, it also encourages unsafe behaviors at intersections. Pedestrian rules of movement rely on the assumption that a pedestrian moving at 2 to 4 mph will be close enough to an intersection such that the driver of a vehicle has time to see them and yield to them. Someone on a bicycle moves much faster than a pedestrian. Even casual cyclists go between 6 to 12 mph which is at least twice to four times as fast as a typical walking pedestrian. This means they can be twice to four times as far from an intersection and out of the area a driver of a vehicle normally scans before exiting an intersection when turning. This increases the risk of a collision.
It's definitely relevant to gauging the frequency of such events and gauging their destructive potential. Had that same meteor come in at a slightly different angle and exploded a little lower in the atmosphere somewhere that was a bit more sensitive, the destruction would have been significantly worse.
Quitting by induction...
I could do without the iPad and use my phone, I just coincidentally have an iPad I inherited. I will not be buying another iPad once it dies, nor will my next personal computer be a laptop.

The funny thing is that the laptop is actually incapable of doing the one thing I would reasonably want it to do: work outside. It overheats within 5 minutes and slows to a halt if I dare let the sun hit it. Both the iPad and iPhone handle this task easily, weirdly enough.

And this is really the issue I have with laptops; they try to be everything to everyone and they end up sucking at any given one task as a result. Compared to my Mac mini my MBP is expensive and underpowered with compromised ergonomics and thermals. Compared to my iPad my laptop has poor battery life, weighs a ton, and overheats in the sun. All that buying a MBP has done is waste $2k extra of $CORPs money, and produce a bit more e-waste given the short upgrade cycle they have me on.
AngularJS, Angular, React, Vue, Svelte. That's 5 in 11 years. I could add Knockout, Backbone, Meteor and Ember. That's 9 if you're stretching it. I don't know anything about the last 4, but the first 5 ones all offer different ways to do things. I would even argue that they are more different that the "canonical implementation of the backend MVC framework" and the "Sinatra copy" that you have in every language.
