That's idiotic. Phoenix makes as much sense as Los Angeles and there is plenty of water from the Colorado River feeding both cities.

It takes less energy to air condition Phoenix during the summer than Minneapolis takes to heat in the winter (temperature gap desired maxes 50F vs 100F). Additionally, the energy it does take is much more amenable to being fulfilled by cheap solar than the cycle required by heating at night.

The only people who find it arrogant are ones who do not understand air conditioning is cheaper than heating and that water can be moved in aqueducts.

Nobody claims that Chicago should not exist, nor Minneapolis, nor New York. The only difference is that they depend on older heating methods instead of air conditioning.

I'm the opposite for hardcore engineers. An in-shape, muscular person looks like they have dedicated a non-trivial amount of time to not software. I presume most people that look like that just see writing software as "a job" and won't be as capable of fully owning anything more complex than small portions of a complex application.

That's because that's what society wants. People pay for apps or watch ads to get their selfie app. SpaceX lands 3 boosters back on earth and fewer people watch than daily active Snapchat users.

There is no civilization ending climate catastrophy on the horizon.

Wipe out 90% of the population and we're back to what, the 1800s? That level of death requires most people to just let the rising ocean drown them as they stand there plus a bunch more inland to walk in and drown themselves as well.

Massively distruption to the status quo is what climate change will bring. Civilization ending? Not even close.

It sounds like your problem is your confusion about trying to prevent devices from accessing your public data over the Internet. Have you tried adding an rss feed or another API instead?

A professional writer hopefully takes more effort than an HN comment.

This is false. Homeless people without jobs have just as much time as billionaires without jobs. Guess which ones are considered wealthy.

It's simple, valuable work is work that people are willing to pay for with currency that can be used for food/shelter/whatever.

It seems arbitrary, but if some billionaire pays you a million dollars to bite her toe off, that's still immensely more valuable than the 10 years spent in the article because a million dollars worth of obligations were just released to someone who will (on average) spend them.

Money is just a note of a generic obligation (aka debt) from the rest of society in that currency.

The AI generates the solutions. The solutions are not AI.

>The Earth has offered it for long time, with some uncertainty about the near future.

What uncertainty is that? Nuclear winter won't even wipe life off the planet.

Are you seriously shocked that there are people out there that would be willing to assist law enforcement? It's not like they are advertising this service for anyone to drop by with any arbitrary phone to unlock.

They are no worse than locksmiths advertising the ability to crack safes.

Before anyone makes excuses along the lines of "it's renewable from remote dams", that energy could could have always been used for something more productive. If it weren't for Bitcoin, they would be incentivized to build a datacenter there, build a smelting plant there, or even just build the transmission lines to get it to the grid.

Using renewable energy for Bitcoin takes that renewable energy out of the supply. How much coal is being burned in China because electricity pours into Bitcoin miners instead of onto a grid?

And how did the top 49% do? A.k.a all of the middle class and above.

You can get up to date stock quotes for free. Search for the symbol UBER. Uber being near it's listing valuation around $70 billion is hardly "a bubble bursting".

If you think performance problems mean a bad CDN, you're probably not the target audience.

IBM and Microsoft both contribute more to open source than Google. In fact, the explosion of the internet occured during their primes moreso than Google.

What Google really pushed forward was SaaS and the free price tag was a trick to make it seem as good as open source.

But when it comes down to it, Gmail is worse than Windows 7 when it comes to user power. At least you can use windows 7 without a constant connection to Microsoft.

He gave no facts about the whitehouse advisor.

China's tactics aren't really any better (allow blatant IP theft).

I suppose the only real difference was that this wasn't well-known in advance. It's like the Joker's statement about people losing their shit when something happens unannounced but being orderly when much worse is announced in advance.

The Memphis package exchange is something to behold. It's the hub in a massive hub and spoke model.

In whose best interests? Because it's really only the cartels that matter since the law has no grip on them. And the cartel doesn't care about keeping tourists safe and happy.

Priority doesn't help. A stalled tcp connection blocks everything on it.

Anything to substantiate that? Or do you mean "not betting" in the sense that you have no insight into either side being an obvious winner?

The seller is not the customer.

Because any competent engineer should be able to work with both interchangeably.

Link?

Why do you suppose nothing useful has come out of the CMU group for actual use? Is it just a case of limited payoff for marginal gain?

I'm not sure you understand how anycast works. It would be very shocking if Amazon didn't make use of it and it's likely the reason they do need to split into subdomains.

Anycast will pull in traffic to the closest (hop distance) datacenter for a client, which won't be the right datacenter a lot of the time if everything lives under one domain. In that case they will have to route it over their backbone or re-egress it over the internet, which does cost them money.

One of the magicians in Las Vegas (the one at the MGM) even used s3 image links in emails to send emails to everyone "predicting" the contents of something that hadn't happened.

>covering 90% of attacks

It doesn't cover most attacks. That's why it's so misleading. It mainly just protection against incompetent people from accidentally sending out data.

>Firstly, Gmail's success is entirely predicated on the health of the global email ecosystem.

It absolutely does not. It is so large now that what the parent poster said is the real case. It has such dominance that people are pressured to switch to Gmail or Google apps to get stuff reliably delivered to the massive percentage of email users.

This is exactly like an IE6 PM coming on extolling the virtues of open standards and how they are critical to the success of internet explorer.

Seriously think about it (assuming you are even posting in good faith). If Gmail's success was "entirely predicated on the health", do you really think Postmaster tools and other interoperability efforts would have so little investment?
