The volatility is supposedly temporary

I'm not kidding when I say that you would be surprised at the size of the market for canned air. I made this same joke several years ago and then looked into it and was blown away.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. All family time, and all families, are not equal.

I 100% agree with you. Our capitalist overlords are resisting the intelligent socialization of an already poorly socialized program.

Not to mentioned it's already a socialized program... who foots the bill when nobody pays? Me & you.

> I do feel with the rise of 'big tech' things have improved a bit

Haha. I'm a technical salesperson that is the black sheep of my sales org. Things are worse now.

> the fact remains that only half of college students who majored in science, technology, engineering or math-related subjects get jobs in their field after graduation

Whoops! This is a huge piece missing from the conversation. I'm in EdTech and I had no idea. Can we get a source?

I think the responder is correct that FOTPT is not applicable here, but I wonder if there is an analogous legal concept for the product of a stolen good.

Perth was not the first AUS city ;)

> And to top it all off, the biggest thing driving their valuation recently, self driving cars, appears to be in serious jeopardy, can anyone make a credible case of Uber having self driving fleet in the next 5 years?

Uber currently sends teams to major cities all over the world to build maps for self driving cars. They outfit cars in those cities with 6 figure camera rigs and enable 'passive collection', where maps are built over the course of normal rides. After that they actively collect any missing pieces and move on to the next city. They've got teams in C / D level cities (which I won't name because I don't want to ID anyone but are the international equivalents of a Baltimore MD or Miami FL).

They are not positioned as well as say Tesla IMO but they also aren't just sitting around waiting for something to happen on this front.

> As far as inauthenticity goes, I would say that it pervades all aspects of our lives, including real-life interactions, which we can assume to be most authentic, yet at some level inauthentic (almost everyone changes themselves a bit depending on who they're talking to).

An important and totally missed point! Nice one.

> (I'd do an invite-only subreddit with a tracking pixel in the CSS)

So that you could nuke it if a not-you IP accessed the subreddit? That's nice and could be very easily automated.

> I chatted with a member of the Pixel Buds team following the demonstration and she confirmed that the demo was done entirely over the internet, without downloading the languages directly to the device.

This guy is real excited to have all of his conversations stored in the cloud

I'm with you, fellow small time home recording guy who needs to carry around adapters. My synth is 3.5mm out, my mixer is XLR / 1/4 inch Mono or Stereo, my piano puts out in mono or stereo 1/4, and on and on and on.

I still think that the hubris to say 'what's one more adaptor' is enormous.

"I'm sure you can put up with this massive inconvenience for a job and workflow I have no understanding of or context for but sure do have an opinion on"

Found the SWE!

So, is Missile Defense vaporware? How come these systems are always part of the conversation until there are real missiles to stop? Am I just missing all of the successful takedowns?

Because "I have no experience with the product but here is what I think based on what my favorite youtube star says" is not a great contribution to a conversation.

Secure your own face-mask before securing the face-mask of those sitting around you.

A couple situations where it will help you: The justice department issues a subpoena for your IP address because you visited a website about a protest, your ISP wants to sell your internet history to the highest bidder.

I am fully cognizant that we need to be working on NN at a collective level but individual protection is incredibly important in 2017.

Edit: To answer the comment below that I cannot reply to -- I am the VPN provider and I wouldn't do me like that.

Not at all. Rule 41 just says that if the FBI already has a warrant to hack your shit, they can hack your out-of-jurisdiction servers. This seems like good policy to me. Am I missing something about it that 'paints a target on my back'?

If you're here, you can likely set up a VPN on a VPS provider. Do yourself a favor and spend the $5 / month for an instance. Get your hands on your parent's, spouse's, friend's, sibling's phones and get it set up for them too. Nobody needs to put up with this bullshit from ISPs or the Government.

There is a great and easy to follow tutorial from DigitalOcean here: digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04.

Edit: It seems as though this post is rubbing people the wrong way. I'm sorry to anyone offended by this post, that was not my intent. In my mind, one can simultaneously watch out for their own safety online and advocate for sensible internet policy.

I was going to come in here and talk about how this strikes me more as a personal choice than a symptom of a systemic problem (i lived well in SF on $60k, and I mean for fucks sake Stockton? that is aggressively far. There are many great closer options.), but who cares.

This woman seems to have a really peaceful existence. It would be nice to have such relaxing routines in my own life, especially in the face of stressful realities like a long commute on public transit. It makes me want to develop the fortitude that this woman exercises every single day.
