There needs to be regulation that standardizes on container materials and shapes, optimizing for recyclability and ability to sort. Then there needs to be a financial incentive to use packaging that offers the highest reclaimation rates. I&

QUIC addresses this, like TCP it's a connection based protocol. It's just implemented in user space on top of UDP. The server response is required to be smaller than the client hello.

I'm pretty sure RPC privacy boost was underway before the leaks. It was just launched more hurriedly after they came out.

Pay is not based on the cost of living but on the area job market. These can have a relationship but are not the same. London is an example of an expensive city where software engineering wages are relatively low. If there's robust com

The mortgage price as a ratio to median income has gone up since then (nearly doubled iirc).

Have you looked into using Cloud NAT? Do you need all those ephemeral v4 IPs? (I work in Google Cloud Networking -- though not this particular area.)

Bogleheads is the only other I can think of, and interestingly they too have strict rules around political discussion.

As a customer I don't like this as I've had these guys leave packages in my driveway in pouring rain when the covered front deck was only 20 feet away. They also frequently deliver my packages to my neighbor's house and speed

Once it's at a collections stage don't pay it. The status change of paying it causes the time until it expires off your report to reset. You instead send them a letter that asks for proof you owe the debt, and ask them to only con

Are all of these undisputed facts? Suppose there's an entirely different reason, one not previously picked up and run by the media, but is actually the truth? Without presumption of innocence people will just be railroaded by the state

Part of the reason for the GDPR scramble is that it deferred specifics to each country's data regulator, and some of that guidance was still being issued shortly before the deadline.

I'm not sure companies could legally pay women more than men. Sex is a protected class.

Your blue bin recyclables were shipped to Asia and then dumped into a river. There's no economic sense to plastic recycling. The only viable strategies are to standardize on reuse or promote materials that are recyclable (i.e. aluminum

Late reply, but your math about the top population areas doesn't seem right. Are you looking at just city populations? I don't think that's an accurate picture. For example, the population of Boston is around 685,000 but you

From what I recall being taught it was to get the smaller states on board. These weren't necessarily slave states (e.g. Rhode Island). It's been effective. If presidential elections were just driven by popular vote candidates woul

Perhaps an obvious insight: the author found considerably more success by attaching his idea to something that was mutually agreed upon. Even a mountain of data was fruitless when posed in a confrontational manner. I imagine this is broadly

I think you're imagining much larger rewrites. A system such as Gmail is composed of many smaller parts. If one of those parts was written years prior for a world that has since changed, it may be accruing technical debt as it's c

I work at Google and have colleagues with accessibility needs, so the idea that nobody there does is false. Many of the comments in the bug you linked in the original blog post are just about people with extra buttons they want to use. It d

For family reasons we've been considering a move into the area, but looking at job listings things seem scant. Wondering if any commenters here have input of what's available there.

How long ago was this? California, which had been the primary driver of the flame retardants being added nationwide, recently updated the regulations. The labeling now will state that no flame retardants were added.

I followed these links last night and didn't find much support for that statement. If you're going to quote something, how about the paper?

I've heard that books also have a high counterfeiting rate on Amazon. Over lunch with Paul Horowitz a couple of years ago he mentioned that he's had to fight to get counterfeits of "The Art of Electronics" taken down. I
