Well, we could argue about this ad infinitum ...

Or, we could take a shortcut and ask those very people what they think and what they would like.

Which is to say, let's find some non-white stakeholders (homeowners) with skin in the game in their neighborhoods and communities and ask them what they think.

I drive through some very nice, very well ordered, single family zoned nieghborhoods in Fremont - the owners of which are predominantly non-white. The same exists in many other bay area communities.

Are those people vehemently advocating for upzoning and loss of local control ? Do those people have a strong preference for owners over renters ?

Genuinely curious ...
> a massive redistribution of wealth from this age bracket into older demographics

I'm not defending the current system/situation, but this seems to mischaracterize the article it links to.

Wealth wasn't redistributed, because millenials (more generally, younger generations) didn't have it to begin with. What happened was that older generations were able to - and did - capture almost all of the surplus that was generated.

I'm not saying that the author intentionally mischaracterized this. I'm saying that you can't solve a problem if you don't understand the nature of the problem. You can't solve a problem by focusing your efforts on a different problem (possibly the wrong problem, at least in this context).
> free to use it as they wish as long as they aren't violating the rights of somebody else.

That's the part with the regulations, right?
Right! They have 11 house-brands at the moment, probably a few more they haven't bothered to update the website with. I don't recall any of it ever looking generic, but then again, it could've have years ago - but my buffers have flushed a few times since then.

How do people get any "skin in the game" if the incumbents do their utmost to impose policies that prevent that from happening?

In some cities in California, houses are "earning" more on an hourly - yes, hourly - basis than many people do:

That's a bit dated, pre-pandemic, but it's likely still happening in places.
Well fortunately toddlers are natural libido killers - it is probably an additional protection mechanism along with the hormones controlling lactation to prevent you from becoming parents again so soon :).

I can't even fathom what sort of though pattern leads to "I'll load my entire plaintext blog using javascript." I would really like to know why people do this.
We have a total of two Trader Joe's locations in Iowa. I've gone to one of them a couple times, but I didn't see anything I couldn't get at my local Hy-Vee.
One thing that I find weird about the Western (perhaps just American) way of raising kids is that the retired population is surprisingly uninvolved in the raising of their grandchildren. It seems like an economic inefficiency when parents are spending so much money on childcare while old people are feeling increasingly lonely.
I would expect Sony to be bought out and split up and sold off in the next few years. They have been in trouble for a while now.

A number of PE firms have been looking at doing this deal with Apple mentioned as a potential purchaser of the fabs, chips and personal computing divisions
Indeed - when I was majoring in math (more than a decade ago), a professor pointed me towards John Baez's Usenet posts and suggested I keep up on them. I've been hooked ever since.

I was initially dismayed when I heard that he was leaving math for environmentalism, but having read his recent posts on network theory, it's clear that he hasn't completely left his mathematical passions behind. I was extremely interested when I heard that he and Eliezer had been talking, it's a strange meeting of worlds, but a really fascinating one.

IMO Baez should really write some books. He consistently explains highly technical and difficult topics in a way that they become comprehensible even to a lay observer; he could very easily do something along the lines of Penrose's Road To Reality and bring some of the high-falootin abstract nonsense down to an understandable level.
> observe lots of others

100% correct. Speaking from first-hand knowledge: artists who develop their career in isolation from other artists generally produce either terrible or subpar work. There are exceptions but they are getting rarer as our culture becomes more global. In other words, globalization of culture sets expectations. Something similar may apply to the economy.
there are a thousand good reasons to watch this, here are two:

That may make you middle class, or even lower upper middle class if you want to stretch it, but i doubt you could be called rich on that salary.
Not really, but I would imagine they are generally male, with a college degree and extreme tech proficiency.
Paul Romer has a similar idea called "Charter Cities" which would be independent areas in existing countries.

Good TED talk on it: http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_romer.html
Despite what you might hear if you make more than 60k USD a year you are fairly well off.

For the US take your salary divide by 50k and say "I make X times the average household income in the USA."

Why is this being voted down? It's a reference to the OP, viz.

We'd like somebody who writes <b> instead of <B>, but not

But note that most of the countries without a military force are basically colonies of the neighbouring states, or are part of larger military associations such as NATO.

Basically you can go on without an army if you accept that you are "defended" by the closest country with one and accept to never step on their toes.

It's a concern of ours (the jQuery Project) as well. We've been actively working on mobile over the last couple months (mostly getting jQuery core in a better state with regards to supporting more mobile platforms). We see one major gap in the market though: The lack of any sort of UI framework tailored towards cross-browser mobile development (frameworks like jQTouch and iUI both primarily target the iPhone and replicate an iPhone-like experience). Having jQuery core capable of supporting all major mobile platforms will make it much easier to develop a mobile UI framework specifically tailored to the smaller screen sizes.

Either way, jQTouch is an incredibly popular jQuery plugin - and since it's MIT licensed - we'll do everything we can to make sure that a copy that runs on jQuery will exist in the long term (either by providing an alternative set of tools or by making sure that a jQuery-using version of jQTouch has a good, well-maintained, home).
What would you recommend as a good starting point for learning Objective C? Is there one guide or book that is significantly better than others?
This article definitely made me stop and think; my grandfather passed a couple months ago, and suffered from AMD for the last couple years of his life.

He had always been a fan of crosswords, and for a while my mother had been bringing over hand-copied crossword puzzles that she had enlarged to a point where he could see them. He also was having a hard time being able to see his watch anymore, but his hearing was too hard for him to make out what came out of those "talking" watches.

We had gotten him a 47" HDTV a year ago, and for a long time he was overjoyed by how much more of it he could see. I never would've thought to connect a Flip camcorder to his TV and see if it helped him read much, put his arm under it to see the watch, or work a crossword puzzle.

Impressive!
That would be nice, but isn't that metaphysics? The thought that there is something simple underneath it all appeals to our aesthetics, but it needn't be that way...

About me: I've been an independent consultant focused on data analysis, data science, and business intelligence for over 2 years. Most of my deliverables have been in the form of interactive visualizations but I do everything in the ETL to analysis to visualization pipeline. If you have needs related to those types of roles, please email me.

I have over 10 years of experience in project management and general abstract problem solving through my previous career in mechanical engineering. One of my favorite things in the world is figuring out things that have not been figured out before. Among my clients are a major automotive company whom I am helping identify & analyze early stage startups and a company whose search engine optimization I improved. The latter company is now the authority box on Google. One of my side projects involves predictive analytics for the NFL that depends on my ability to discover absent statistics.
Yes, true, but Intel's integrated graphics has gotten a lot better in the last 5 years, and many laptops from that era end up with ~8GB of RAM (non-upgradeable in an Apple laptop), which is just not enough for what I do. (My current laptop has 16GB, and my next one will definitely have 32GB minimum.)

I have 2016 and 2018 Intel laptops (non-Apple, but similar in "class"), and it's surprising how much better the graphics is on the 2018 model.

I would love to try a laptop with AMD graphics, but the laptops I find with AMD kit in them generally don't meet my requirements for other reasons. And I'm forever scarred by mid-'00s experiences with Nvidia on Linux, so I refuse to buy Nvidia hardware.

I do some light gaming (not enough to justify a desktop/gaming PC), and even with 2010-era games I can't run them on 2018 Intel graphics with the quality settings above "medium", so I'll take the fastest Intel graphics I can get.
I have that shortened to o instead of xdg-open and jump to recent directory with zoxide an autojump alternative invoked with z followed by a few characters

Right now, this is being done with people from India, so ... I'm not sure if your dystopia vision is a step up or down on the civilisation ladder.
Is what you are describing not what they call "event-sourcing" ?

Just keep a log of all the events that have already happened (crucial - I have seen "event logs" that were more like "request logs") and to find out the current state of the system - if the notification or report has has been sent - by examining this log.

The lists you are describing kind of sound like an event log of sorts.

It seems to me that this distinction between primary and secondary approach is not really neccessary.
But you are expecting everyone to make sacrifices for your benefit, because non-car drivers are significantly subsidising car drivers. Lets make car cost exactly what they should be then, things like lets make real-estate used for roads in cities go into rental costs for those roads (via taxes, road tolls etc.), lets price the environmental costs appropriately, including the health cost from noise etc. If you still want to pay for your car then, go ahead, but don't expect others to subsidise your living.
Your link is about 'belly fat', which is not visceral fat, but rather subcutaneous (under the surface of the skin, as opposed to internally around the organs).

Intuitively, it would seem that visceral (internal) fat might affect lung function more, but as the article states, the mechanism of impairment is not clear.

But no one has ever, once (AFAIK) gotten caught doing that. Surely if this was the kind of widespread thing you're imagining SOMEONE would have put a camera on one of those boxes and caught someone?

I mean, just think about it: this is completely impractical. To "steal" any one election you need to swing thousands of ballots. Each box holds a few dozen ballots at a time at most. You'd be talking about a huge crime spree to manage to collect and resubmit all those ballots.

And yet... we've never seen it happen. The simple truth is that stealing elections doesn't happen because it's too expensive vs. just winning elections with more persuasive arguments.
> Freedom of speech would involve delivering all messages, not just the ones you like.

No, my freedom of speech and the press means I don’t relay speech or use my press to reproduce messages I don’t think deserve to be relayed.

That’s pretty well established to be the meaning of that freedom.

> Requirement to deliver messages != direction of the media.

Yes, the state mandating that I use my resources (such as a printing press, or its digital analog) to reproduce and disseminate messages I disagree with relaying is direction of the media and (outside the usual strict scrutiny terms for restrictions on essential liberty) a violation of my First Amendment rights.

Try building the performance critical sections with release settings in debug builds and have a seperate "slow debug" version which doesn't. Its not a magic bullet that will make debug as fast as release, but it can usually bring debug framerates to acceptable levels whilst letting you use the debugger on whatever you are working on most of the time (unless you are trying to fix some core engine bug etc...)
Oh, we do that. This was a specific bug that is now fixed.
This is changing soon! It's on our roadmap.
I take the down votes to signify that this is somehow an unacceptable mindset?

It's damn good question, and I can't really help you, only sympathise.

Yes maybe you can find advisers with your best interests at heart by ferociously networking. But in my experience it's a long shot. Why is some (essentially random) guy with lots of experience gonna help you for free? Unless there are real mutual synergies - i.e he'll get from you something equivalent - it's never going to happen. And even if you can pay for it - that's probably not _quite_ what you're looking for as a small start-up.

If you don't have these connections to start with, I'd plan for not having them at all. The best you can probably do is - whenever it is you get around to commercialising your product - is hire a lawyer. They'll be able to offer you sound business advice.
Actually that's not going to work. This sort of approach would definitely hit our spoof filters.

Before you call an enormous group of people ignorant, you might want to run your numbers again.

These kind of analysis all seems to make the same mistake. They use an average, linear depreciation of the value of the vehicle and they continue that depreciation into infinity. But the fact is, the depreciation curve is effectively flat as you get to zero. And the maintenance does not increase into infinity either.

After a vehicle has a few hundred thousand miles on it, the resale value is effectively the scrap value of the metal in it. Putting another 100k miles will not make it negative. And there are only so many parts to replace in a vehicle as far as maintenance goes.

Ah, I wasn’t really suggesting that the (contents of the) clipboard be immediately serialized to disk, but rather that an OS built-in clipboard manager be created that exposes its contents as shell objects living on the shell Desktop (rather than the filesystem Desktop.) So every cut would put a shell object onto the shell desktop, but this would just be a handle to a memory object living in the clipboard manager. Pasting would move that object from the shell Desktop, to the shell Trash, such that emptying the Trash would get rid of it; but it wouldn’t really be “in” the filesystem Trash either.

If you select and copied the shell object on the shell Desktop, you’d just be making the “selected” clipboard handle the one referenced by the shell object.

If you moved the shell object, you’d be instantiating a physical filesystem .scrap object at the destination.

And, of course, since all this is simulating something persistent, you’d expect the clipboard manager to make each clipboard object refcounted, and not get rid of objects as long as something (e.g. a shell object) holds a reference to them; even meaning that the clipboard objects with nonzero reference-counts would need to be persisted to an OS “clipboard database” on shutdown, such that the shell objects referencing them would still be valid on next startup.
The global superpower fears were wild exaggerations. They didn’t have the pop (workers and also consumers) to support those claims.

Of course contributing to those fears was vast underinvestment in modernization by US firms which were still relying on very old and inefficient technologies, so of course to some stateside companies (and “pundits”) they looked like worldbeaters.
To some extent what you describe is paradigmatic - the product of a particular set of circumstances (one might even say an ideology, if they were of that frame of mind).

Its not inherent to the human condition. Imagine, either as a practical possibility, or an as yet manifested, potentially utopian ideal, where your time wasn't being metered out by any immediate demands and you moved through life on the basis of purely aesthetic concerns. Think of the supposed hunter-gatherers who lived in times of abundance. Only a bit of time was given each day to the dumb gods of survival. The rest of the time could be used for leisure - an idea almost dead in contemporary life (as your comment demonstrates).

In fact, just a few days ago, Paul Graham was posting about one important aspect of genius: an impractical (say aesthetically motivated) obsession unconnected to (though perhaps restrained by) practical concerns. Almost every human has some purely aesthetic desires which they would like to act on in the portion of their life which they can carve out from practicalities of survival.

I see the social contract or whatever you'd like to call it (if the name contract offends) as an attempt to carve out some portion, hopefully not too meager, of our lives out for just such living, for every human.

Its only an immediate condition of modernity, which I'd attribute vaguely to the vague "liberal" zeitgeist, which makes that idea seem alien to all but the wealthiest.

Its certainly true that we could rationalize our every moment but in almost any reasonable account a person who wanted to do that or who tried would be considered mentally ill and certainly unhappy. Its inhuman. Its not what we should want.

When I spend time with my two year old son I'm not fucking filling in a god-damned column in some great spreadsheet in the sky, is what I'm saying. That should be the privilege of every person.

Interesting point.

I don't want to take your example too far, but I would be more interested the labeling of my product which reaches 100% of potential ketchup buyers (assuming their eyes scanned the shelves) not just the 0.0001% who might be using ZipList AND decide to snag your brand as opposed to the brand they usually buy.

Reading about how an application like ZipList raised $2M is surprising to me. I'm not angry or jealous (I'm happy for those involved, for sure) but it seems like a product someone would do for university project or something similar.

Every recipe website I've been to has a button to print a shopping-list style ingredient list. I'm used to seeing numbers like $20k revenue for a popular shopping list app, not $2M in funding.
