What about a third lemonade stand that took their huge sack of cash and instead paid their employees six figures? This would be the stand that is worth less to the shareholder, as that money in the sack has left the lemonade stand entirely and is now being spent by the employee elsewhere in the economy with a portion of it used for different taxes. This is also the stand that is worth the most to the public, as this sack of cash is no longer kept under a lemonade stand and is instead being used to pay sales taxes, property taxes, and income taxes. The fallacy is that many believe corporations are like this third stand, when really they are much more like the first or the second, where it is better for the shareholder and worse for the public to keep as high of a portion of money out of taxable pockets as possible and to pay as little as possible for labor.
reminds me of the history of patients with alpha-gal allergies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy) and how they were pretty much shunned / gaslit because only a few people had experienced the symptoms.

Apparently the only reason the link link between tick bits and the allergy was because the researcher studying the pheomenon got bitten by a tick and developed the allergy himself.

There's a great Radiolab episode on this.
Re: malleability of life. I like stoicism because it captures the view that feels more realistic to me: That which you can control, you control to your utmost. That which you cannot control, you let go. Sorting it out and finding the balance between fatalism and optimism involves knowing and understanding your own limits.

After all, there are a lot of things your body is capable of doing, yet you aren't ever driven to do them. That's really at the heart of the shut-in symptoms.

I don’t think swift’s performance is good enough to really make a dent in that area vs rust/java and C. Nor are its macro-programming ability enough to compete with dynamic (and slow) languages.

Now there’s still go market of « server middleware ». But for that it would need a much higher quality of core libraries, tooling, and a much better concurrency story. Maybe it’ll come with the incoming actors, but somehow i doubt it (the underlying concurrency libraries remaing grand central dispatch, which looks too heavy compared to, for ex, goroutines)

>>Living costs should be even less

Most of the times, yes. However there are differences; afaik, metros like Mumbai or Delhi are costlier than places like Chennai or Bangalore. (And places like Mysore (where I am), cost of living is even lesser; (comes at a cost: no multiplexes / big shopping malls / nightlife etc) US $ 1000 (that'll be approx INR 45,000) per person per month would be more than sufficient to lead a good life)

I still cannot decide whether it's better to comment in English or in my native language. English works, but it's a weird fit with words from the application domain. Those, I don't really want to translate, but I have to keep doing it because there is so much legacy code with the translations. Sure, I could do a rampage through the code base and fix everything up (would be done in an afternoon thanks to IntelliJ), but my team would almost certainly give me lots of flak for this. At the same time, it also feels weird to conjugate english words in my native language.
I don't think that's relevant here: the new prompts aren't about collecting gps data but correlating your identity across contexts.

You're complaining about me complaining.

Instead of complaining why don't you build me the tool to stop me from complaining? It's the same reason why I'm not building the tool.

That's the problem I have with complainers complaining about other complainers. Why don't you guys do something about my complaining rather then complain about it?

That "giant bright line" tracks along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean/Gulf of California. Why is it funny? There is a major highway there, and many populous cities along the shore. As you go inland a ways there is a giant desert and then a giant mountain range – it seems reasonable that such areas are thus less populated. Many parts of that map have "giant bright lines" along coastlines (for example, Spain, Australia, northwest Africa).

The most terrifying fact about forests is rogue badgers you can't switch off. Yeah, badgers are not fun to encounter, but (a) we consider them an acceptable cost of having forests, and (b) they're an essential and natural part of forests, connected to all of the other mammals and the plants which live there.
Jupyter supports many more languages and GPU compute until Streamlit can do that I don’t think it’s even a contender for JNB for many users.
Not at all. It's playing the numbers.

If you're aiming for $50k/y in profit after all COL, your required pricing is different in SF than it is in rural America.

If you live in rural America and compete at hiring with SF people, it's your competitive advantage to keep the same profit as them but negotiate a lower price. This increases your relative value in the hiring process.

Sure, i _could_ keep the same SF rates, but then my competitive advantage may just be my skill. If i want more than skill alone, i could lower my rates.

I'm not making less profit. I'm competing to get a job.
I’m not sure running their own hardware and relying on an ISP or colocationg at a datacentre would help Parler compared with renting services/VMs from someone like Amazon.

> There is no reason fiber can’t be extended everywhere. Somehow, the great US of A can get water, gas, sewer, and electrical utilities to a vast majority of homes, but not fiber internet.

I would be surprised if water and sewer serve a 'vast' majority of homes. Lots of rural and semi-rural homes have wells and septic. Same thing with gas, but more so, rural might have propane tanks; but many homes have all electric, some have electric and heating oil, etc.

But that wasn't really your point. The vast majority of homes (in the US) have electricity, and some phone service, why don't they have fiber?

It's because it costs a lot of money to construct, and there won't be many customers to amortize the costs over. I've got a recent quote to install municipal fiber of about $30k to do 6000 feet of aerial fiber on the right-of-way to get to the pole at the corner of my lot; then about another $20k to get 600 feet from the pole to my building. (Might be able to do better on site with a contractor, will see about quotes on that). The monthly service charge is a little more than local incumbents, but it's not quite apples to apples because the speeds are different and the fiber option has better quality of service and time to repair.

I think electric construction costs are higher than that, but you don't sell a house with no electric service, and it's hard to sell a lot without a plan for service. But either way, it's a hard sell to say for $50k you can get what you have, but a little bit better, and if you built it for the neighborhood, it would be less per house, maybe $30k per house because a lot of the cost is undergrounding to each building... but people wouldn't likely pay that for a little better.

One obvious answer in that case would be to establish who is buying the data from them and treat any PDL data as potentially tainted. If you find a downstream customer who does have a presence, then investigate accordingly. You might not be able to fine PDL directly, but you could certainly make the offending data risky or unprofitable...

Some yardsticks for when I think about jobs I once had or that family members have had, compared to the relative comfort of a job (self-employed or otherwise) in technology. Just some things that give me perspective.

- Does someone come in to do it, or does your job involve you taking your turn to clean the toilet and bathroom?

- Are you required to wear a name tag? Does this affect the perceived power dynamic in your day to day interactions? To wear a work uniform? To take home and clean your own work uniforms?

- Are you likely to get physically injured at work? Would you lose the ability to work or get pushed out of the schedule if this happened?

- Do you definitely or essentially need a vehicle to do your job — your own vehicle — operated and maintained at your expense, without which your job would be in jeopardy?

- Are there elements of your job that are undeniably hazardous to your health, but which you must not complain about to keep your job?
Even in cities that don’t require that, rents are still expensive (with the exception of Tokyo where you can rent a 2.5 tatami sized apartment, shared toilet, no central heating, for $300/month).
> An expression with only one operator never overflows in a recoverable way, so it just has to be checked, not expanded

(Nitpick: I think you intended to write either always or unrecoverable)

_If the target CPU doesn’t have status flags indicating overflow_, that may be more work than using a larger intermediate. For a+b, detecting overflow after the fact highly likely is faster, but already is a bit convoluted if a and b are signed and, thus, can be negative (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45261894)

For a×b https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1815367/catch-and-comput... has a simple algorithm, but it requires a division by b. I don’t see that perform well. Possibly, double size multiplication and then testing for overflow beats that (but, if the CPU has a ‘count leading zeroes’ instruction, I would use that (https://stackoverflow.com/a/59109502. I haven’t checked that for correctness, but even if it can’t be made correct, it likely can provide a fast path for most multiplications that your program does)

For CPUs with an overflow bit, the compiler can use it, but not all CPUs have that.
Shrinkflation is such a visible invisible sign.

You're not wrong, but commercial entities also go bankrupt, stop funding projects or take care of code quality just enough to be able to sell a product and get the money. Clearly unpaid volunteers seem to be a successful alternative to the commercial world when it comes to general code quality and especially longevity.

It's also often the case that those unpaid volunteers have a day job related to the projects they volunteer in, so there is some direct or indirect financial support. It seems reasonable to assume a large part of open-source software and infrastructure is maintained by people having vested interests in it.

So put a hundred more in series and you get bigger voltage. If 10 of them lit a LED, which needs something like 1.5V then 100 of them would give you 15V. Car batteries are 12V or 24V, depending on the car model/size, so 100 or 200 in series and you get that covered.
They really aren't; I don't have concrete numbers, but most people agree that prices for restaurants and cafès have doubled since they introduced the Euro here. Even though officially it was illegal to do price hikes, many companies took the opportunity to do so, because while the new currency was worth 2x what the old one was, people still thought in the old currency's numbers. So 1.50 for a coffee or a beer stayed 1.50, after a little while people stopped trying to convert the value and just accepted the new normal.

Playing without spoilers would be very challenging indeed. And you're right about the early game - there's a breakpoint where you've got enough food, hit points, AC, damage-dealing capability, and miscellaneous tricks (if you know how to use them) where the only think that's going to kill you is YASDing yourself. And then the game transforms into prepping (and prepping, and prepping some more) for the ascension run while staying alert enough that you don't YASD yourself because you forgot something or panicked. (You never have to panic in Nethack.)

The free market absolutely has the capability to control for snake-oil salesman; that is why there is a large and profitable business in reviewing items.

In America the CDC was distributing snake oil in this crisis, their test kits didn't work. As the death toll rises that is going to enter free-marketing lore as a classic example of government regulation contributing to a crisis. There should have been 10 free market solutions and a CDC endorsement for the one they liked best. Depending on how this plays out we may well discover that lighter regulation would have saved literally millions of lives.

Notice that as soon as a crisis hits and the government needs someone to figure out a solution their first and only tool is removing regulation. This is a powerful hint - that regulation is also retarding useful action in non-global-pandemic crisises.
I would agree with this, but this is underspecified. A couple of examples:

When I was in college, a kid came to our * Nix User Group having fscked up his Ubuntu install by, I kid you not, `cd /; sudo rm -rf * `. He wanted help fixing it.

Another kid who was quite a bit smarter learned about fork bombs and ran one on a shared CS Linux server. It was offline for a few days. When it came back, `who` informed us that the sysadmin spent quite a bit of time running `man limits.conf`. (After graduating, I learned I was able to still login to that server using my SSH key, despite my account being deactivated in LDAP.)

It's a bit like Murphy's Law: anything that can be done on a * Nix machine will be done by a learner given sufficient time.
Take care of yourself over the next few days. I've seen reports from people where this was phase 1. Phase 2 a few days later was flu-like symptoms, and phase 3 a few days after that was difficulty breathing (and yes, they felt better between phases). Anecdotal, but IMO worth baring in mind!
