For drivers, I'm sure. Not for cyclists or pedestrians. Depends on the street of course.

In general, I think speed limits can be higher on highways, but should be much lower and actually enforced in town. Fast cars are absolutely terrible for the safety and comfort of walkers and bikers.
If you are mostly just saving that money, perhaps to later do early retirement in a place like Tennessee or Kentucky, sure. Cost of living doesn't impact you much when you live in a tiny apartment.

If you want to raise a big family, you're better off elsewhere. Even with a really reduced total comp, say ~300k, you could have a 6-bedroom house on the beach or on a 30-acre lot. You could have a guest house and servant's quarters.
The Russians withdrew from Central and Eastern Europe (save for Transnistria) yet US troops are still present in Germany and now in Europe (literally invited by the Baltic states, Poland and Romania), not to mention Japan, South Korea and Guam which is basically US territory. I highly doubt that the US would withdraw from a supposedly Unified Korea.
I looked up Kezia Noble on YouTube, having never heard of her. I think your summary of what she says was more interesting than her videos, at least the first one I watched on how to specifically talk to women in the fashion industry.

Oh yeah, I should have considered that if somebody went looking for her on Youtube they might find something different than the material I watched. Some of her stuff is straight-up "how to meet women" stuff, but quite a bit of it isn't. In particular, I'm thinking of her program called, IIRC, "The Ten Hook Lead System".

But in another video she said something interesting on posing questions that take the other person off auto pilot. If you ask "So what do you do?" and they answer "I'm a teacher." and you say "Do you like it?" they'll probably say "Oh, it's OK." or something similar. They (and you) are on auto pilot, and have probably both had this exact exchange before with other people. If you instead ask "So what made you choose teaching?" you'll perhaps take them off script and force them to think, which is a good thing because it makes them more engaged in the conversation.

Yep, that's more in line with the stuff I remember from her. And that applies to plenty of other contexts besides trying to "pick up" date or whatever.
And the cool thing is that this animation is actually in the article! (not the exact animation but the same conceptual animation, and you can move your mouse left or right and walk it forward and backward)
I'm reminded of Jane Jacob's statement about the economics of cities: "To seek 'causes' of poverty in this way is to enter an intellectual dead end because poverty has no causes. Only prosperity has causes." [0]

To find that a small city that used to have a manufacturing plant is now struggling shouldn't really be surprising―the city never really had a robust economy, and it's hard to say that it really has a future.

Getting a functioning economy that works is really a sort of black magic―when it happens, capture it! Our big cities are one of the surest places we see it, so maybe the real question isn't "why are people moving towards larger cosmopolitan cities," but "why are we making it so hard for our cities to accommodate them?"

Unfortunately, it seems like industry hubs are more dominant than ever, despite the rise of remote work and the internet. So if you're trying to get the top of an industry, the arguments for moving still exist. But it certainly doesn't make sense for everyone.
ok, I got the title of "Computer Science Engineer" from an university in Central America, is there any other requirement I should fulfill before introducing myself as an "Engineer" in California or Washington?
There are a number of professions in the US where yes, this is somewhat regulated. I can think of a few:

1. Medical doctors
2. Certified Public Accountants
3. Lawyers
4. Professional Engineers
5. Realtors

Many other professions and certifying agencies will claim that a certification is necessary to practice, and that you should pay them for the privilege, but these are some of the few that are legally protected.

You need a "Professional Engineer" certificate from the NSPE to sign off on certain documents. But note that these certain documents are only used in certain fields, like civil engineering. This certification is not required to be (or to claim to be) a software engineer, electronics engineer, mechanical engineer, product engineer, chemical engineer, etc. For example, I've taken many engineering courses, I have a bachelor's of science in engineering degree, and I practice engineering day-to-day without being a professional engineer. In college, perhaps 5% of my graduating class took the PE exam? And now, few of my coworkers, customers, or suppliers are professional engineers - The two individuals that I can think of transferred into the domain out of civil engineering.

The electronics engineer in the article mistakenly stumbled into the territory of civil engineers who are very, very protective of their licensure, and they overreacted IMO. I don't dispute that if he'd claimed to be an NSPE-licensed Professional Engineer, and signed off on documents which are legally required to be approved by a PE, that he'd be deserving of the punishments associated with this fraud (which are much steeper than $500). But the NSPE does not own the generic term "engineer".
“Inclusion” is not for outsiders
Rates would be lower if we all drove at the same speed, no matter what that speed is. Setting the speed limit at 55/65 doesn't make everyone drive at 55/65.
Doing so would be too unpopular, Especially in the wide range of cases where speed limits are set too low for the geometry of the road.
Also that they're incredibly homogenous and that they may be just as racist and unequal as the rest of us, but nobody notices because everybody in their country is the same race.

There's also several specialties relating to software that are similarly lacking "real engineer" status, such as QA engineering, site reliability engineering and security testing engineering.
Our teeth and mouths are shaped mostly to cut and tear fruit, not flesh.

Most of our metabolism is tailored towards fruit. That doesn't mean it has issues with meat: it'll deal quite well.

I probally shouldn't do this, but my "Psychopaths guide to how to be successful in a job."

1. Kiss the right ass--covertly, you don't want to be obvious. It's an art.

2. Make money for the owner. If you do this, you can do anything at the chit hole. Well almost?

3. Always be gathering evidence for that day. Every company I worked for was doing something sketchy.

4. Realize the happiest person on the job site (usually a manager) might be doing something illegial. Find out what that is, and file it away. Don't use it, unless you know it will benefit you. Most of the time, you should just take the info to the grave.

5. Don't do this next one--times have changed. In the past, disgruntled workers could bend rules and make a little gravy. Oh, it felt so good. Those days are sadly gone. They (tech., cams, etc., ver adept security) have put end to making a little on the side.

6. Date the owner's daughter/son. (This one can backfire.)

7. Marry into a business. (This one can bring lifelong missery too, but you will never be homeless.)

8. Drop your homeboys, and hang out with the rich kids. The rich kids have rich dads. The rich dads usually fund their kids. (I couldn't stomach this one either.)

9. And lastly just do what you were hired for. Why is this last? It should be first?

Amazon was fine throwing money into making a moat, and they have a tangible one.

I don't see what Uber's moat is once self driving cars are common. It seems they will be fighting off competition (car companies, Waymo, etc) that didn't have to spend money on lobbying, lawsuits, subsidies, and so forth.
Good thing is you never really have to drive if you don't want to. Most small towns are connected by commuter rails, ICE and PostBus (5 euro rides if you book early). Small towns like Jena of only 100k people have full tram and bus networks.
Not to mention that one of the main reasons for speed limits typically being 30mph or lower in urban areas even where the roads are fairly easy to drive on is those kids playing basketball in the street or cyclist are much more likely to survive an impact even if the driver isn't able to anticipate and avoid it than at 40mph, when they have a 95% chance of being killed (it's 95% chance of survival at 20mph)

Obviously this applies less to country roads where pedestrians are rarely encountered, speed limits are well over 40mph and drivers often should be paying more attention to the bends ahead of them than the notional speed limit when judging how fast to go anyway.

oxymoron?
It's not much of a mystery to crack.

The chart starts in 1950 with 63.6%. In that year, one out of three American workers in the private sector were in a union. Today one out of fifteen American workers in the private sector are in a union. In the rust belt, the Wisconsin government has been waging a war against its unions, as it and other states become so-called right to work states.

Insofar as this "increas[ing] the risk of social instability", one reason for this is that more and more money is flowing to capital which doesn't even know where to invest it. The main reason so much capital is idle is due to existing overproduction (which you could also call underconsumption, it's the same thing). Workers/consumers are short-changed, so can buy less, whereas more money goes to capital, to build more products - for people who can't afford them. You can see what the main problem is. Consumer debt can solve this temporarily, but if the cut of the pie stays the same, it just postpones the crisis and makes it worse.

Things are fairly simple - there is an aristocracy of heirs who own rights to expropriate surplus labor time (which they call profits) from those of us who work and create all wealth. They are very well organized in industry, government, and media. They don't want the people who do the work and create the wealth, us (most of us), to be organized and as aware as they are. They say unions breed laziness, but these heirs have never worked a day in their life.
> When people refer to the "1%" it is understood implicitly that they are referring to the 1% of the wealthiest individuals in the western world.

The people making minimum wage in the western world are, by your own definition, NOT in the 1%. They are very much NOT among the wealthiest individuals in the western world. It's not demeaning at all.
If you're going to actually get people to change their opinion you should really give your own position the most uncharitable phrasing.

> Road fatalities are already the number 1 killer of some age groups

You're hiding a weakness in your argument by not specifying the age groups. You're hiding a weakness in your argument by restricting to cross-sections of the population that support your argument. You're misleading your listener by hiding the fact that this statement isn't because traffic accidents are unusually high, but that other causes of death are unusually low.

> Around 40,000 in the US last year.

Careful using absolute numbers, using 40,000 which is a very small number compared to other kinds of deaths like hard disease (800,000 deaths last year) can be misleading because 40,000 sounds like a big number.

> its estimated that over a million people worldwide die on the roads every year

You're hiding the fact that the US has 4% of the world's automobile deaths but 20% of the world's cars. You're using aggregate data to smooth over deaths that are caused by dangerous driving environments, roads, or ineffective traffic laws and misleading your listener into assuming that they're caused by human error.

Total deaths is not a useful statistic. The deaths that could have been prevented by L4 autonomous cars but could have not been prevented by L1-L3 or more conventional safety practices is what you should be presenting.

Give as little surface area as possible to people who would use it to push back.
I agree the titles sound obvious, but within each section we have lots of actionable advice (e.g. books to read about specific decision-making advice, the best tips we've found on how to save money, ideas for specific cities to move to), so I disagree these are not actionable for most people.

Website Availability Monitor, 0.14.1 released
> If someone could wave a wand and get every American to drive below 60 mph, roads would be safer.

That wand exists - it's called "enforce the law". Increase penalties, or decrease them if you need a revenue-neutral plan, but enforce that 60MPH is a limit, not a suggestion.

This article parrots the same concept as most speeding solutions: speed doesn't kill, only variance in speed is dangerous. That makes perfect sense. So why increase the possible variance from zero, and why let people complain about driving at the limit being too slow? If you're above the limit, _you_ are increasing the variance, and _you_ need to slow down.

We enact zoning laws with consideration to what we're being taxed to live and work in a high-demand, low-density environment.

If a tax on holding onto unimproved land is nearly zero, we're very likely to implement zoning laws banning development, because citizens have little reason to change things. But if the holding cost increases, (say with a significant Land Value Tax) folks now have a reason to legalize development.

...Californians should consider the role of Prop 13 in its current housing crisis.
When driving in Germany I noticed that I hardly ever used cruise control - you need to change speeds quite often since areas with reduced speed and unlimited speed change all the time. In US I use cruise control all the time since speed limits are constant over very long stretches. This makes driving in Germany fun, but driving in US less stressful and tiresome.
I was surprised that https://xkcd.com/thing-explainer/ was not mentioned, but then again, he uses _a thousand_ words in his book!
If you want people to drive slower, there are effective ways of doing that. Changing the speed limit is not one of them. Try removing the lines, removing the curbs, sporadically insetting curbs, adding trees, etc.
If you had to chose between both, sure.

But I think there might be some time to at least walk students through the basics of profiling, it can be very valuable to have some exposure.

Then when it comes to memory management, there's a fine line between debugging and profiling.

I was playing with left leaning red-black binary trees yesterday as a refresher and got a memory corruption due to a bug. With valgrind (a tool I generally use to catch memory leaks) I caught it immediately, very helpful tool.
We need to design better due process for fines.

Privacy may be part of the problem -- yes it would suck to publicize everyone's whole history of administrative fines, but making this information public by default would limit corrupt application of the rules.
Oh, god help us if it actually escalates to that point. I'm more than intimately aware of the ramifications, as I was an intelligence officer in the pacific and heavily involved in NK issues.

It's probably the biggest can of worms out there right now quite frankly.
That's the German approach actually. There is no speed limit on some of the highways, yet the recommended speed is 130 km/h.
Do you find that his writing is very hard to follow? He makes sense to me, but I've been reading his writing for about 15 years now. He has always seemed to me to be significantly underappreciated. Maybe it's because people can't understand him.

The OP column was about how supply-side economics (tax cuts for the rich -> so much growth that the tax cuts pay for themselves) has been tried many times and in no case has there ever been convincing evidence that it worked. Furthermore, when the exact opposite has been implemented (tax increases for the rich), nothing bad has ever happened. So a rational conclusion would be that supply-side economics doesn't work and the idea ought to die once and for all. But in reality, politicians keep bringing it back from the dead.
> This is such a weird argument. I can take a train from London to Paris to Zurich to Berlin, despite them being entirely different countries. You're telling me travelling between US states is somehow massively harder?

I think this has to do with the frequency of rest-stops/ tourist destinations.

There are many places to stop and see if you were to have a track going through all of the EU, but if you do that with the U.S, you're just going through "nothing" for hours on end. There's no site-seeing, sparse and isolated rest-stops, etc.

This is if we assume coast-to-coast travel, not just state-to-state. If we do, it's just not worth it to spend that much money.
Yes, two different scenarios state primary/secondary, and university.

Regarding state universities, while true many subsist on tuition there are some notable exceptions -- for example, the UT system has one of the largest endowments of any university (public or private). I would argue however, that it's the small and modestly endowed schools that can take the lead here. If one doesn't care too much about cracking the elite rankings of the Ivies etc, then it's not so much publish or perish. The schools can afford to hire teachers as well as more commercially successful researches who attract grant money. For example, I took freshman calculus at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY. The professors at the time primarily used a weekly photocopied handout to teach calculus, and it worked quite well. I later attended Columbia ($$$) which had some great researches but did a terrible job teaching calculus (b/c the teacher was not interested in teaching) and used a shiny textbook plus a half-assed "lab" that mostly involved fixing typos in Matlab programs under severe time pressure.
The problem is, at least in more populated areas, there are so many exits that traveling in right-most lane can be dangerous with all of the merging traffic. Large trucks in particular will just cut off cars forcing you to slam on the breaks at least once every mile or two.
My right foot and sticky tires say yes.

But I do wish everyone would just drive to their abilities rather than some prescribed upper limit. Our laws made sense back when you still found carriages on the road. (Sorry Amish).

That may be true, but doesn't change the fact that we've done this experiment nationally, and adjusted for other factors that are known to affect speed, there were fewer fatalities when the limit was lower.

Setting the limit at 80 doesn't make everyone drive 80, either.
Nice! A blast from the past. This is a classic "old internet" site that still works fine and appears to be maintained by someone.
Yep you can limit docker in a number of ways, to restrict what can be run in containers.

Using user namespace support, root in a container is mapped to a non-root high UID user outside the container.

You can also use cgroup support to limit the resources used by an individual container.

There's quite a few recommendations in the Docker CIS security guide that can be helpful for locking down an installation

Everyone's talking about the title issue, but it's amazing that the Oregon board doesn't believe he should be able to publish or present his ideas. You can go on and on about what it means to be a certain title, but the man should be able to put forth his work and ideas.
Not only that, but those people as you noticed don't even know what to do with the wealth. The best thing to do would be for the government to come in expropriate that wealth, and give it out as universal income to stimulate consumption. And then for the labor to unionize again so they can keep a fair share of that wealth. To keep the engine of the economy running... as right now it's stalling under their supposedly "efficient care". At the end does such a class even need to exist, I don't really think so. The world would shed a little tear if these sorts of people disappeared tomorrow.
