Does this really solve the problem? The article said that municipal bond costs are higher too. Buying up these companies will take a lot of capital. Cities will need to raise money somehow to pay for electrical grid investments and equipment. Even publicly owned companies work hire private ones which means needing to pay them.

Instagram is working for me but Facebook is not. What’s app working.

I would try that but then I’d have to change the delivery location after the shipment which can create an additional “change location” delay. It still has to be delivered to a FedEx store as well unless you are going to the station which can be a trek.

As someone who relies on overnight 2-3 times per week, I have to say FedEx expresss (air) is a logistical wonder but unfortunately the packages still have to hit the ground to get to your door. And the ground service is a joke at least in SF. I never knew this but ground delivery drivers are not employees instead they are all independent contractors. Quite often packages come several days late. The driver will also falsely mark item as delivered or that no one was available. Customer support cannot reach anyone at the SF hub/station. I once went to the station and had to wait an hour before someone talked to me. I’ve heard they’ve had many layoffs and completely shut down the Oakland hub. Also heard UPS is much better and pays drivers better (they are union). If I didn’t get a 90% personal discount thru my work I would never use them.

What’s the difference between body doubling and looking over someone’s shoulder? Looking over someone’s shoulder slows me down. Whereas someone I trust and like being nearby can be a big boost.

Isn't this fraud? Why isn't he in jail?

No thanks

So sad. I met Bob once at an interview at Square in 2012 for the final interview. I believe he was the inventor of Google’s guice dependency injection library and the dagger library. I bombed the interview. I liked him anyway. RIP.

good memories of playing Nethack on the University cs Linux servers. Very rich bones files.

"If we can handle 50 requests a second that means we can handle 4.2 million requests a day."

Not really. Real world traffic won't be uniform over one entire day. 50 QPS would be more accurate.

I love note taking on paper; the problem is finding my notes later.

Kyle wants to add a new API called barrier() which will improve consistency and remove the need for fsync.

Linus makes the point here is that the file system API is already complicated to the point that few use or implement it correctly. Further complicating the API will likely create more problems than it fixes.
