It does not affect your credit rating for freezes and unfreezes. And it's a good thing that hard pulls on your credit affect your score, because it's a stop gap for excessively requesting credit. It can also prevent heavy fraud because creditors will often reject potential customers with too many hard pulls.
Put a limit (e.g. 1) on the number of residential properties any individual person can own within city limits and make them (residential properties only within city limits) illegal to buy for a corporation.

A lot of people might think 'socialist' and I may have said the same a few years ago but having seen issues up front, lives (within some cities) are being completely ruined with the hoarding and speculation.

What do you mean by "run more efficiently"?

Just focusing on space efficiency: very dense cities could build an underground transportation system connecting people's homes directly to space-efficient, centralized facilities. Instead of having a kitchen, you would order food or freshly-prepared ingredients to combine yourself. Instead of doing laundry by hand, you would send it to a centralized laundry facility, which would clean it for you and send it back. Trash would be disposed of using the same system. You could also use this system to store and retrieve things you use infrequently, so they don't have to take up space in your home.

A system like this would enable higher density by reducing the number of facilities you need in and adjacent to your home. It would free up road space by focusing commercial traffic on these centralized facilities instead of distributing it throughout the city. And it would free up road-side space by lowering the demand for laundromats, supermarkets, and so on.
Generally speaking, this is a sign of a bad Chinese restaurant practicing what I call "matrix menus": you've got one array of sauces (soy, oyster sauce, teriyaki, sweet and sour, satay, etc) and one of proteins (chicken, beef, shrimp, salmon, tofu, etc). The menu is product of multiplying these, even when the result is completely absurd from the POV of the original culinary tradition (say, satay shrimp or teriyaki tofu) and everything is produced by grilling the chosen items on the same hot plate.

Chinese restaurants intended for Chinese people tend to specialize in a single style of dish: dumplings, hotpot, braised beef noodles, etc.

40 minutes as in 40 minutes of coding for a single interview question.

Usually 20 minutes out of a given hour long interview is just BS resume and chit chat.

And yes, there are often 5-6 interviews in a row. But that still leaves the fact that there is only so much that can be covered in an interview with 1 person in the 40 minutes you are given to code a problem.

And those 40 minute coding problems are all taken straight out of cracking the code interview, most of the time. Even at Google.

Process questions are good, and conversational interviews are also good. I wish people would do more of them. But unfortunately it is mostly just algo questions that you have to cram for.
Dunno this is really a huge deal -- they're different tools with different purposes.

I've always viewed Mesos as a bare-metal orchestration platform. From there, you can deploy k8s, VMware, Linux KVM, whatever to the nodes under management by Mesos.

k8s is more of a container management platform that can be used for applications to tie arbitrary software architectures into a set of unified operations tooling.

So you may host your cluster on k8s, but you would use Mesos to auto-scale the active servers in your clusters for say, power management. But Mesos is something you probably won't have a need for until you're well past managing one k8s cluster.

Let's assume a turbine kills 4 birds per year [1]. Globally, 341,320 turbines are spinning around the world as of 2016 [2]. That's 1,365,280 deaths per year to generate roughly 4% of the world's energy [3]. Put another way, bird deaths due to wind power have been growing at 34% annually. That may make wind power one the fastest growing bird killers on the planet! It's especially worrisome if the birds affected are disproportionately large birds. I'm not quite ready to give the technology a free pass.

Don't you still have the same problem with multiple processes, just moved to the kernel for them to deal with? It seems like if you kept everything in-process, you could use custom allocators and apply a sufficiently smart architecture so nothing stayed longer than necessary.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I don't use multiple cursors but now see how it might be more accessible than using regex based replace commands or macros.

The key point I got was one already knows how to edit with one cursor and multiple cursors extends the same behavior trivially. Anything else (e.g. macros) first requires learning a completely new model and behavior.
An alternative? You mean user-created passwords?
> advocating for the people by working to proved the lowest possible prices

Lowest possible prices for the government purchasers, not for the citizens. For alcohol at least, there are a lot of externalities associated with consumption and so it makes sense for the government to try to price the product with that in mind. In a place like Ontario where the government also runs the health care system, it makes even more sense.

I mentioned this in another comment, but for alcohol there are a lot of external costs associated with consumption. It makes sense to try include some of those costs.

I have no idea how they will price marijuana.

Other countries don't need artificially inflated prices and a government-regulated sales to accomplish this.

On a heavily-used block with tall buildings on both sides, here's a recipe that will work well:

1. Dig up the street and sidewalks, going down 60-100 feet.

2. At the bottom of this pit, drive in piles if you haven't yet hit bedrock.

3. Build a box, about twenty feet high, to run plumbing, power internet, and other utilities

4. On top of that box, build another one for a train.

5. On top of that box, build another one for vehicles to pass through. Because we're aiming for the future, we can assume that the vehicles in this box will be purely electric, and won't need the kind of ventilation that most of today's vehicles do.

6. On top of that box, build a basement, perhaps with alleyway access on both sides (these should be narrow - no wider than approximately 15 feet.)

7. Now we're on the street level, above ground - a building should rise up minimally two to four stories from here. On both sides, narrow streets should be constructed, reserved only for foot traffic. Shops, bars and restaurants of varying sizes should line both sides of the street.

8. Install vibration and light sensors inside each partition wall in the new buildings, as well as in the existing buildings that line the street. Establish a legal framework allows anyone to use the spaces inside each building for any purpose, so long as both parties on either side of each wall and floor agree to specified limits (with the existing owner's terms taking precedence over that of the newcomer - note that there is give and take here, as a space in which you can't make any noise or let any light leak out isn't worth much compared to one in which you can.) With this in place, inflexible one-size-fits-all zoning restrictions are no longer needed.

This arrangement can be implemented slowly, on a block-by-block basis, to transform any any every pedestrian-unfriendly American city into a vibrant urban paradise for people like me that seek this.
Their progress is probably owed to authoritarianism more than anything else. South Korea. Taiwan were also basically dictatorships for much of their growth.

So your tutoring is all done through your videos, or separate online individualised instruction (1-to-1, or 1-to-many?), or through visits to your tutees for in-person sessions, or tutees come to you, ...?

I am a tutor here in Australia. I visit people's homes, or they come to me. I am interested in online tutoring, but I am unsure what exactly to try; or even what software and hardware to use to create the videos. I market myself through Gumtree (not sure if you have that in the US). Any advice more than welcome.
Profit? My city already has e-bike charging stations on just about every street of every block. They still work, no doubt because they're profitable. Also, China doesn't have the vandalism problem of America. Kids don't go out of their way to destroy things for fun.

As an Ontarian and having previously lived in a country where pretty much anyone can sell alcohol till very late I passionately support LCBO and - as a voter - will support the proposed provincial government controlled marijuana distribution. No, it does not completely prevent alcohol in the hands of minors, late night drinking binges, deaths from methylene, but reduces these cases greatly for sure.
The last time I was in Ontario, the grocery store did have a beer and wine section, but it wasn't part of the store. It was basically a separate store within the store.

>if it is impossible for a man to build a 747 with his bare hands

&

>without going through trades and transactions that are unfair

It's fundamentally impossible for one man to build even the microwave that preheats the meals inside a 747, but that's no reasonable threshold. The entirety of modern life is built on transacting goods and services that are fundamentally impossible to create alone -- are you trying to say that all transactions are unfair? Or just Bill Gates'? Or just transactions that are too skillfully done?

I'll try to test this out and post-back, but I can confirm that the pre-release version supports the app-based push/confirm version of 2FA. Not a guarantee, but I'm assuming that U2F will work seamlessly.

There really needs to be a law for "you did something obviously wrong and got caught and you kind of suck as a human being" with the punishment being your arms get cut off and you get tossed into a tank with sharks.

That should be the execs' punishment for the stock sales.

Yes it is, 100%.
BC actually has both privately run and government run liquor stores.
What I mean is that I don't think anybody specifically was thinking "Aha! We can put this clause in there today, and we've got a free out! Hooray!", precisely because even if it did work as putatively designed, it wouldn't work, and they'd completely know it. It isn't even useful as a "throw the spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks" maneuver.

To believe that this clause is related to this matter is to require not merely mendacity (believable), not merely stupidity (believable), but an unbelievably precise combination of mendacity and stupidity that can only be read as constructing a rationalization for a pre-supposed conclusion.
Oh it's quite known as the population growth rate (especially from interstate migrants) shows over the past several years. Granted life affordability is only one of many reasons.
>I'd expect the med school literature courses to have about as much effect as med school statistics courses, though -- little to none. Plus, there's been interest in shortening med school.

I agree with you there about the lit courses. And shortening med school is a great idea, as is allowing residents to sleep full nights on a regular basis.

The Recurse Center: It seems like a great place! I would not include it in any bootcamp discussion because it is more of a retreat than anything else-- an artist colony for programmers or something more akin to Yaddo or McDowell for coders without the snobbery. I think they might be the only ones who have gotten it right. And I agree that they are closer to a good meal. I think a transitioning person would have a good chance of finding inspiration there among its participants due to the flexibility and internal/self motivation that is emphasized and selected for.

And...no one would ever need to hide the Recurse Center (or any related GitHub repositories) from their résumé—they would highlight it.
Not to mention one A. Lincoln changing the rules to accommodate a war.

The first constitution didn't leave much ability to raise taxes, since a loathing of taxes help start the revolution. The result was so destructive, a new constitution became inevitable, and Washington spearheaded

The Return of George Washington: Uniting the States, 1783-1789, by Edward Larson is a good source on these events.

Some learned from this that low taxes aren't such a great thing; others, obviously, have yet to learn (or admit) that.
I know very well how oauth works, thanks, but I'm not sure why you thought that had anything to do with my comment. The invasion of privacy comes from websites insisting on knowing who I am and refusing to allow me to make anonymous/pseudonymous accounts. If there's a convenient API to do so provided by the government, that's bad for users.

> Only the ones where you chose to use their service.

There are hundreds of websites that require you to use Facebook to log in. With government-sanctioned ID, it will be worse.

> Or are we imaginging a future where this service has been made mandatory, and logins and passwords have been abolished?

This already exists in several countries, including Korea. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_registration_number

Hopefully this serves as an indicator that your skepticism on this topic is wildly miscalibrated. There's no "imagination" involved, this is how it is right now in places where this exists.

> their strategy will probably not be writing open source software and hoping you opt in to it!

That is the exact strategy I would use if my goal was to help the government gain more control over the internet. Letting people give their freedom away in exchange for a bit of convenience is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
>That is, if a home is 10x the median salary, you can't really say "well, if I didn't buy a home I could work 10 years less."

Yes, but what you can say is "If I move to this other place I can work ten fewer years for my house even if I make less money."

We need more competition in consumer credit agencies and need more control over access.

We probably need more competition in corporate credit agencies as well like Moodys/S&P that got us into the housing crash.
