While true, this is largely beside the point, and is addressable because it's mostly caused by politics. We don't need to have yet another discussion about Bay Area building constraints. Additionally, there are other cities that

Why not? You're the one who said people should be spending their time doing innovation in biology, hacking on deep learning, and starting a blog, rather than learning how to configure and deal with networking. If anyone wants to do t

Running a server isn't demoing something cool in biology, coming up with something cool to demo in deep learning, or starting a blog. If these people are going to spend their time doing innovation in biology, hacking on deep learning,

No, I wouldn't think it was unfair if they presented a price that was more because of <insert some reason here>, and then I decided not to pay it because I didn't think their service was was worth that price. If you don&#x27

Yes, and those people didn't get ripped off, they are just uninformed ranters. They could have just as well purchased their gas at a low-price time, especially since they KNOW (proven by their ranting) the prices change. It could just

If someone gets the service they wanted/needed at a price they were willing to and agreed to pay, they weren't ripped off.

Also, Security is not IT. That's another thing that needs to change. Do you mean that Security is not currently IT and it should be or do you mean Security is considered to be IT and it shouldn't be ? The amou

Continue with your CS degree. In my experience, all good sysadmins have significant development experience. This is especially useful when working at small companies/startups.

With the internet we've also sort of fostered a society that expects some content (music, blog posts, etc) to be dirt-cheap if not free, especially if it does not meet ever-increasing standards. This again leads to a race-to-the-botto

Creates that perception right up until the point where they're sitting in traffic. Are you talking about building a new multilane highway where one didn't exist, or expanding the number of lanes on a highway that already exists?

by thwarted 10y ago
This isn't that great of a comparison because a highway lanes are not the good that is in demand, the travel destinations are. More lanes doesn't translate into more demand for the destinations, but it does potentially reveal the

A mapping table from identifiers to hash implementations already exists in the RFCs and code for pgp and TLS. And variable length ints are already a thing, also in crypto, in the form of bignums.
