Sure, but office workers for example would not have your issue.
There's a lot to unpack in this article, but one thing caught my eye. In the "The Ultimate Question 2.0" book the author claims that NPS needs to be considered as a relative measure to competitors. So if we follow this advise, United needs to aim to have the highest score accross all airlines. To give an example, an NPS of -20 is decent if competitors have below -30.
Is there evidence that capping residents “cures” cities of Slums?

It took >100 years for them to deal with it. It was often much worse than China now.

In the UK, in the 1800's, millions moved to London, and lived in shocking slum conditions. Life expectancy was ~30 years, diseases like cholera killed many, because of overcrowding and poor sanitation. Pollution was awful, As recently as 1952, 10,000 people died in four days in the great smog of London https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Smog_of_London.

In summary, it took a long time to address the problem.
pixelart.academy is currently a meta game / interactive advert for an upcoming game called Pixel Art Academy that teaches you how to draw pixel art.

It's not complete, but you can preorder it by finding your way to the store at https://pixelart.academy/. I was able to reach the preorder page in Chrome on Mac (http://d.pr/i/YdcRmZ), but you might like to report bugs to the author if the game's not working for you: https://www.retronator.com/ask

The author also maintains the Retronator pixel art technical blog at https://medium.com/retronator-magazine/, a personal blog with the same name at https://www.retronator.com/, and a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/retro.

I don't know about other countries in Europe, but here in the UK, we have both Smarties and M&Ms (in fact, there is a massive M&Ms store in Leicester Square, London). Although they are similar, they are produced by different companies. Here's a page outlining some of the differences between the two sweets:

Redisson: Redis Based In-Memory Data Grid for Java
A long article with a mix of good and some poorly informed arguments, that ends up a sales pitch for a UX workshop.
You're right, sorry. It's a lot of work and I'm still catching up on basic features. Once they're there, I promise it'll be better.
I don't disagree. But let's see the data and not assume. One or two extreme cases could make any savings moot.
I made a conscious choice to write 'non work' code every day. It's now a habit (thanks largely to Github's contributions graph... I've got to get a little green square every day!). Sometimes it's just 5 minutes to refactor something or update a README, sometimes it's 5 hours to work on a project, but the result is the same - I spend more time writing code. This has introduced me to frameworks, libraries, patterns and algorithms that I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise, and it's definitely making me a better developer.
> It's not hard to see that it is in short-term self interest to form cartels

Cartels are only a problem if no new suppliers can enter the market.

> lobby for regulation

This is a problem of any representative system. Convince them and you're set. No capitalism involved.

> crush competition

Just a consequence of the abovementioned.

Summary: step 2 is the crucial problem, it's usually corruption or idiocy and a governance problem - not a capitalist problem.
Reminds me of back when I was a kid in NYC around 2001, and first learned about traceroute and routing playing around with Linux. Late one night my Comcast Internet went down. So I called support, only to be given some message that it consumer support was closed. Did some basic ping and traceroute troubleshooting and discovered that the first hop out of Comcast to Cogent was down.

So being a foolish and persistent 18yo, I called directory assistance and sure enough Cogent NOC was listed. So I called them pretending to be a Comcast support employee. No questions asked. I told them the router IP that was down and they said they'd look into it. 20 min later, my connection to the outside was up. Probably fixed the Internet for several million people in NYC. The foolishness of youth has its perks.

How in the world did you find the correct phone number? And how did you pretend to be an employee? (Did you say "this is [random name, or maybe your own name] calling from Comcast?" or something?)
I'm basing a new business (Hostwriting, hostwriting.com) off of this method, but I combine it with other people asking and ordering the questions. I also like to have people verbally answer questions as a preliminary first draft.
It's time for display (or, for that matter, all) ads to die. Web pages are unusable without adblockers, because otherwise ads will annoy you more and more to the point of throwing your machine out of the window...

It is the greed of a few in our industry that has made the lives of everyone else pretty miserable.
The entire IPA is available in unicode. You could treat those as ligatures with a special combinator character, which would work a lot like flags, skintones etc work. eg: [special begin character] + NEUTRAL FACE (U+1F610) + [IPA characters] + (special end character) = talking face! hurray!

Big nuclear projects are too slow to start nowadays and need stability over the long term (40-60 years). This is probably unsustainable economically and unwise technologically in liberalised markets. That said, Generation IV reactors in a small modular format will be equally expensive as first of a kind and difficult to assess by the national regulators that give the go ahead. So what for nuclear? Bear in mind that if transport goes fully electric in the next 15-20 years, then the world will need almost double the baseload electricity it needs today, irrespective of improved efficiency of existing sources and similar reasoning. China and Russia are going long with new nuclear while the liberalised West is shutting down its plants or extends their life at a loss while thinking of phasing out. Another big dependency in sight then?
People should not be curious about such things happened in China since they are controlled by the CCP. Some stupid officers can make all kinds of ridiculous policies, sometimes the basic reason is just to consolidate their regime. The simple reason is that, if the city is too big, it becomes more hard to control for them.
Honestly memory is fuzzy now. But I think I called the 800 directory assistance. I don't even know if it works anymore, but it was big back then.
The article ended and then there was an advertisement in italics, I didn't read the article as an advertisement for their book as much as just a comprehensive slamming of NPS.

Which is a terrible metric that pretty much nobody should use.
>Might you not prefer to stay out of an ambulance in those situations, even if it's free?

Ambulance ride here in Finland has a symbolic fee (10 eur if it's deemed necessary), but still, for a non life threatening issue it feels much more sensible to get a taxi. Since the situation is not life threatening you'd be put in a pretty low priority for the ambulance and have to wait for an hour or so. Taking a taxi is even incentivized - taxi to the hospital is going to cost the same 10 euros even if it's from further away, but even without that system I'd probably still use a taxi for broken bones etc.
1GW of nuclear power is 1.3 SQ miles (1) or 832 acres.

100 football fields (required area for storage) is 130 acres [2]

130/832 is 1 in 6.4

Bird this is the storage that OP came out with his "100 story high" tale, not the generation (which you'd put off shore, perhaps beyond the horizon)

Power imbalance between men and men seems to be just as important. Monogamist societies can be just as misogynic as polygamist societies.
Never ever have I thought this would be a side effect of not having any proper health care. I've never had to take an ambulance, but it's a second nature where I live in Europe to just call the equivalent of 911 and they'll send out the best unit depending on the injury. It can be a plain ambulance or a faster car with doctors that definitely is very expensive if you weren't covered.

What a shame.
I think it is a bit hard to compare the salaries, because Norwegian currency is presently at a historical low.
When I compared at earlier years salary of me and my friends in the software industry was more similar to the US.

Also I am in doubt about how many Norwegians report to these web pages. It would be more accurate to look at statistics gathered by NITO among its members.

One aspect you have to consider with respect to the US and Europe in general is that Europeans work a lot fewer hours. A lot of difference between US and European software developer salaries could simply be down to difference in hours worked.

I make about $97 000 at current exchange as a software developer in Norway. But I work only 37.5 hours per week. I got 5 weeks vacation per year. In addition to a lot more public holidays than in the US. I haven't worked overtime in over 10 years. While judging from accounts from Europeans working in the US, it is quite normal with very long work weeks and overtime.

Oslo living expenses will look extra high because we are most likely at at the top of a property bubble. We never had a downturn in 2008 for the housing market.

Also living expenses in Norway is usually hard to compare with other countries since food prices and recently housing costs are quite high. However health care, education, child care etc is quite cheap. Many consumer goods are also relatively cheap. E.g. food is much cheaper in Spain than in Norway but buying a TV is cheaper in Norway.

The reason people like Rust more than JavaScript is that Rust is a better at what it tries to do than JavaScript is at what JavaScript tries to do. That said, they don't try to do the same thing, so you shouldn't use Rust in all situations. Rust is focused on speed, safety, and low bug count, but it's slow and annoying to write and refactor. If you are willing to make that trade-off then do; if not, then don't.
Every step of the judicial process should be completely open to scrutiny in every particular by the accused and in general (eg exact methods) by any motivated citizen. This transparency is more important to the long-term viability of our legal system than extra accuracy provided by a proprietary algorithm. It is possible that this analysis is not amenable to monetization at the level necessary to sustain private investment, which is a different problem.
You can see this manifest itself in games too.

Stardew Valley became extraordinarily popular. It's just a game where you explicitly give up your corporate cubicle job to take over your grandfather's farm in a small village town. It's such a peaceful game but there's a strong yearning for what you mentioned in it.

The game was also a one person project over 4-5 years which is pretty inspiring, too.

iPhones are technological marvels, masterpieces of engineering. But Apple software is getting worse and worse.

I have recently started playing with my Mom’s phone which is some cheap Huawei Android and surprise - I can do the same on this phone as on iPhone - Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Inbox, Google Search, Google Allo, Google Drive, Firefox, bank applications, Spotify, MS Outlook - everything works OK.

The feeling is liberating like discovering Linux after years of thinking that Windows is the only choice.

I have stoped using Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple Photos, Apple Mail app, iCloud etc because they are all half-baked and frustrating. At least Google is trying harder with their software.

So what is the reason - excluding vanity - to pay 1000$ for a phone when I can have the same functionality for 100 - 200$. I will spend the difference on books, coffee and really good headphones.
The true measure or corruption is performance. If those corrupt politicians somehow stil ensure a decent standard of living for their citizens, then they're better than the ones elsewhere.

Maybe. I am originally from HK, so I understand the frustration there. However, this is more about forcing people to go back to less developed cities and towns where they might have a residency there. Also, removing the so-called “low end people” the officials are able to reclaim the lands and redevelop the area. One thing to note here is the Chinese officials in Beijing has been removing signs that don’t fit certain guidlines forcibly, which shows the officials’ desire to maintain the city with what I considered as “urban class system” - you don’t get to live in Beijing / Shanghai unless you meet such and such criteria.
> A good start could be just to make remote all the jobs that can be made remote, but of course this would not cover a big part of jobs which need a whole team in the same location and specialized machinery (Eg the whole manufacturing sector)

There is no escaping the mapping. It doesn't matter if it is Reason or PureScript, Elm, or Fable - you have to parse the incoming data into a static type if you want to enjoy the benefits of types. The good thing is that you can build the rest of your system with a firm guarantee on the shape and structure of the data. No null checks, no missing keys. If you are careful with your parsing you can raise exceptions or return None if the incoming data is not well-formed (missing keys or even extra keys).

Reason/BuckleScript when run on a Javascript runtime also has a `Js.t` type which is basically the Javascript object. You do have to define the shape of it similar to how you'd define a record type, but you don't need to convert it into a native record. JS arrays are also natively supported - it maps 1:1 to BuckleScript's array. I like to convert arrays into lists since they are better suited for value-based programming (pattern-matching over [head, ...tail] inside recursive functions).

And if you create your types in a way that invalid states are impossible, you've just reduced the cognitive load needed to work on the system for the rest of its life by an order of magnitude. Here are some resources on this wonderful programming technique:

Subscription. Paper copies. Can't compete? Not my problem.
US has a market for regulation: lobbying is legal and elections are funded by donors. So I'd say problems caused by the regulation are pure capitalism: it's just a new, more cost-efficient way of beating the competition.
I want to tell you that it's pretty much useless for the much bigger guys.

There are a few services that help track IPs that view and click ads on a global basis. They are backed by ML algos that can determine with a high rate of accuracy whether it's fraud or not.

Using some of the reputable services, the advertiser can go back to the network and request refunds due to the fraudulent clicks.

So if you did do this, you'd only be hurting the smaller players who rely on ads to fund their ventures.
