City councils and planning commissions are the worst. They are so captured by people in the real estate business that you can't do anything without consulting them (agents, brokers, developers, investors, even flippers, mortgage people, and lawyers). Non-real estate people that run and make it will find that 95% of the donors are real-estate industry people, so good luck if you have positions that they don't find agreeable. Oh and the same people own the state politicians too, so even if you do manage to get the city council, state law is going to tie your hands pretty dramatically.

I worked for a little while at a culinary school. It was a good school--the students left pretty well prepared for work in a restaurant kitchen. But it was expensive. It cost as much as a year at a private university. And the food business is notoriously low pay. While I wouldn't say there's no place for for-profit trade schools, I would say that we really need to have more support for community colleges and state schools to provide alternatives.

Thanks for the comments everyone. You're not the first ones to give me feedback about co-inflating the two. In my mind saying that something is "hard to" write down is still pretty similar to saying it is not written down.

For one, if you say it's hard to write something down, you're setting yourself up for a scenario where judging outcomes based on that lack of written down knowledge is going to be painful. For example: "It's hard to describe how to write good tests, so we didn't write it down. But we also want our tests to be more reliable." How do you solve the two without writing down some way to learn how to be better at tests?

Likewise, if you want to learn how to ride a bike, how do you get started? Back in the pre-covid days you could do a lot of experimentation and learning from others in person, but that doesn't scale as well in the post-covid, remote and global, workplace. That's one of the core concepts I was trying to capture.

> We condemn calls for genocide, as does President Gay — a point she made clear, if it wasn’t already, in a post-hearing statement.

The questions posed to President Gay, and her relevant responses, from The Harvard Crimson[0]:

> “At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment?” Stefanik asked.

> “It can be, depending on the context,” Gay responded.

> But Stefanik pressed Gay to give a yes or no answer to the question about whether calls for the genocide of Jews constitute a violation of Harvard’s policies.

> “Antisemitic speech when it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation — that is actionable conduct and we do take action,” Gay said.

> Stefanik tried again.

> “So the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard code of conduct, correct?” Stefanik asked.

> “Again, it depends on the context,” Gay said.

> “It does not depend on the context. The answer is yes and this is why you should resign,” Stefanik shot back. “These are unacceptable answers across the board.”

One may interpret that how one wishes, but it certainly doesn't seem Gay is willing to actually make a solid answer in response to fairly direct questions, in the context of student groups using things that can be rather directly interpreted as calling for the elimination of the Jewish state by force.

Well, let's see - because I wanted to have children, and I didn't know who my biological father was, so I wanted to understand if my wife and I were likely to carry any of the same dangerous recessive genes?

If you're using an offset that's not super reliable, and some major platforms of the past 40 years do give you memory at or near zero, and of course with a language like C the compiler is allowed to assume it won't be null and that can cause all sorts of weird program corruption even when a page fault would be safe-ish.

This made me think about the mic on my $300+ headphones. It's probably even a good mic. However, because they will only be used via bluetooth, it will most definitely be used under a HFP mode, which means that a probably decent audio signal from a probably decent mic gets completely destroyed.

opsec is a constant battle. You are using the VPN, but you have to ensure that you have

1) no other traffic going over that VPN at the same time, so the IP can't be linked to you at that time

2) ensure all your porn traffic goes over the VPN, and never accidentality over your actual IP, keeping an eye on things like dns leaking

> I wouldn't categorize it as anti-consumer. Apple is not under any moral, legal, or ethical obligation to provide access to iMessage to users outside of their ecosystem.

Apple is intentionally degrading the experience of sending messages to non-Apple devices for the explicit purpose of driving iPhone sales. This is anti-consumer, full stop.

"They must provide access to iMessage outside of the ecosystem" unnecessarily restricts the possible ways that Apple can address this issue, and is only one of many solutions to the problem.

My point and stance is not that Apple should be forced to implement iMessage on Android, but that the intentional and artificial restrictions baked into the Apple <-> Non-Apple experience is unacceptable to me as a customer.

I've commented at length about this elsewhere in the thread, but they could:

- Implement RCS (which they're finally and reluctantly doing due to regulatory pressure, but we have no idea how much they'll hamstring it, and it's borderline ridiculous that they haven't done something yet. Too little too late)

- Allow 3rd party apps to surface messages in a unified interface like they do with other iOS capabilities (e.g. the unified voice call experience from various non-Apple apps/services)

> In another thread, you say "They’re selling a general purpose communication device that is incapable of exchanging run of the mill content with other general purpose communication devices, and using that poor experience to drive iPhone sales." which is a demonstrably false premise.

The premise is demonstrably true, and can be experienced by trying to send someone a text containing an image or video using the phone's native capabilities.

I think it's worth reiterating here that Apple has explicitly restricted the messaging experience while allowing other categories of app (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Phone calls) to natively interact with 3rd party services from a single interface. The argument that "just use another chat app" would be a lot stronger if Apple actually supported other chat apps in their native experience.

Zoom out and stop focusing on "iMessage on Android", and it becomes extremely obvious how anti-consumer this stance is based on comparing it to Apple's own design philosophy and other capabilities across iOS.

> iMessage on Android is moot.

On this I tend to agree. But this doesn't get Apple off the hook, or make the dark patterns acceptable.

As I've said elsewhere, Apple may have every right to do this, but customers have every right to be pissed about it, especially because there are ways to solve this that don't require Apple to open the floodgates to iMessage.

Fivetran and Hightouch do ELT and reverse ETL, respectively, which are one-way syncs. While Bracket can handle one-way syncs, two-way syncs (in situations where you need writes from both Postgres and Salesforce to sync) are our bread and butter.

We’ve worked with some folks who were cobbling together ELT and rETL to achieve a type of two-way sync, but they faced three problems with this approach: most importantly, handling for infinite loops, where an insert in one data source triggers an insert in the other, which then gets picked up anew, etc. Second, it wasn’t clear how to handle merge conflicts when the same record is edited from both sides (we give priority to the primary source). Finally, it was frustrating to debug problems when having to log into two separate tools.

I'm fortunate to live in an area of downtown Phoenix served by CenturyLink FTTH. They offer symmetric 1 Gbps for $65, priced for life (I think it's $70 now for newcomers), with no caps, and that's inclusive of all fees and taxes.

Symmetric gigabit feels like a dream.

Cox, on the other hand, lacking literally any survival instinct or competitive sense, charged me $110 per month before taxes, and for only 1.25TB of data. For unlimited data, it was another $50. So I'm in to them for $160+ per month, for vastly inferior service. I hope CL stays healthy enough to keep our deal going because it's the best internet I've ever had.

My understanding is that HN serves pages from a CDN for non-logged-in views. It is a way of reducing load on the server core that serves HN.

If that's true, then you will see a real-time front page (or a apology for not handling your request) when you are logged in and might see an older cached version of the front page if you are not logged-in.

Of course I might be wrong and there is indeed a scandalous conspiracy of nefarious skullduggery. Good luck.

See my other comment, but in short I essentially mean the true realization of "precision medicine" and gaining a greater understanding of how different genotypes result in disease, information which can be used guide treatment and to develop better treatments.

> That assumes there's someone out to get you specifically.

Not entirely true- the ability to reconstruct genotypes from environmental samples gets better all the time. I'd imagine that even with current technology, a sufficiently motivated organization could sample various locations to reconstruct the genomes of people who often visit there. With enough info, they could start building webs of genetic relation. From there, all they'd need is access to a database of samples from known individuals (which, as we can see, already exists), can chances are they could quickly deanonymize future samples. The only thing that could stop such mass collection is proper regulation.

It's not that expensive if you only deliver to customers served by aerial utilities, and you have access to poles and understand how to get easements for outside equipment. And you expect to serve a significant fraction of dwellings passed.

I don't think AT&T was secretly planning for years and years to rewire my neighborhood for fiber; they were just well prepared with then information and expertise to get it done. I think they saw Google announce service upcoming in 15 cities or whatever, and figured they would need fiber in those cities as well, then they took their existing maps to figure out where they needed outside equipment, set their lawyers ro getting or expanding easements, and once those were set, they sent an order to Corning for GPON cables with drops at measured lengths for each pole. Easy and cheap for ATT. Unless you have underground utilities.

It's not easy and cheap for upstarts because you don't have access to the poles, and you don't have field maps, and you're unlikely to serve a significant number of customers that you pass.

It's not easy and cheap for anyone if utilities are undergrounded, because encapsulating your infrastructure makes costs start at about 3x the cost of aerial buildouts, and it gets much worse if you hit other utilities when you dig. Best case, a lot of manual digging; worse case, you need to call out another utility to do an emergency repair; worst case, you cause an explosion. Plus your burried utilities are at risk of being damaged and needing repair during other utility work. Wires on poles are at risk too, but at least it's easy to access them for repairs.

One day maybe, they'll tear down their copper that's rotting on the same poles. Maybe when copper scrap value is high.
