>"Can anyone explain the economics of being a NYC landlord and keeping a property vacant for months or years?"

Vacant for years is a bit unusual. But being vacant for months seems to be the norm now. I think this is mostly because the type of tenants that can afford these rents or the ones the landlord wants are big corporate chains. These are entities that don't move very quickly or don't need to move quickly. It seems that vacant stores fronts are invariably replaced by the same 5 banks(Citi, Wells Fargo, B of A, Chase, TD) and the and two drug stores Duane Reade and Rite Aid.

These 7 companies have achieved absurd levels of density in Manhattan and it may even be that they are finally slowing these insane saturation campaigns they have undertaken.
As with many things: it depends on who wants it more. In this case, I think AMD probably cares more.
Here is another interesting read:

The difference between their "professional" GPUs and regular ones is literally a few sub-cent resistors.
I frequently tweet at airlines when I travel. They’ve never bent space and time to solve a problem, but they have followed up on several occasions to make a situation better when I’d otherwise just be frustrated and unhappy. I’ve also had them better explain a policy or process so I could better understand how to plan on the future.

I’ve found that including a photo or even a short video gets the quickest attention.
Thanks for the story -- that is great to hear. While I don't have kids, many of my friends do, and it is uncanny how kids pick up their parents' worst behavior. I used to think of this as a depressing inevitability, but I agree with you that it's not.

And I agree that "reasons" and motivation are the main driver for change. I think smoking is a great analogy, because everyone it's now "objectively" bad. I used to smoke, but I would convince myself that it's OK. "I don't smoke that much", etc.

But that was because I wanted to smoke (circular logic). My reptile brain convinced me that it was OK.

Likewise I think many people convince themselves that their behavior is OK, because their reptile brain wants to keep doing it. But the first step is just to admit that what you're doing is not OK, even if you "plan" to keep doing it. If you admit it to yourself for long enough, you might eventually get the motivation to change.
There is a large difference between the claim that:

1. One changes

and

2. One can purposefully change in particular direction

While the former is (I believe) obviously true, the second may not be.

While I don't doubt brains change, the question is, can we purposefully change it in a particular manner to achieve a particular end.

The article spends a lot of time talking about neuroplasticity which addresses the first claim, but not the second.

Not that it matters too much in the context, but the average life expectancy is the average at birth not 79. The man should expect to live into his 90s if he makes it to 79.
I didn't know about the RTC issue, but the separation of users from developers was strictly because of hardware limitations. The Lisa cost $10k and came from a separate division of Apple from the Mac, which sold for [around] $2500 and only had 128k of RAM and no hard drive. They were completely different target markets. Nobody at Apple at that time knew how to make a Pascal compiler run in the limited environment of the Mac. (But as mentioned above, the Forth vendors had no problem doing it.)
A neat currying implementation in Python
If we take any argument to an extreme we can see where the flaws lie. For example, who would claim that if their life depended on it, they couldn't change some aspect of themselves? Or if someone else's life depended on it.

And, no I don't have to be careful about saying things like this. I think it's an extreme failure of our modern society to side with those very, very few that truly have a physical disability that causes their emotional problems (ie, brain damage) compared to vast majority of people that simply have emotional damage, something that can be overcome with personal responsibility and having a reason to change.

In my case, I valued my relationship with my kids and wife more than the physical satisfaction I got from yelling at them.

If you choose to yell at your family, and blame a non-fixable disorder, so be it, maybe in your case, or someone you know, that's possible. But that person needs to get professional help. If that person reads my writing, they don't get any value from it.

But for everyone else, I hope they can see that real change is possible, and ignore all the neigh sayers that will give them an excuse not to try.

Word to the wise, if you give yourself an excuse, you will take it. For people that simple can't change how they act, they should check them selves into an mental health institution now, and get some help. Everyone else can truly and absolutely change themselves.

You just need to value the person you want to be more than the person you are.

WTF with you failing to notice the word "white"?
It was only touched on in this article, but I've read elsewhere that part of the problem is the structure of loans. If the landlord takes a lower rent, then the value of the property decreases in the lender's eyes. If the owner doesn't have enough equity then they might have to renegotiate at less favorable terms.
Absolutely. The far better way to grow is sans-soil. Aero or hydroponically. Even inert grow materials like coco are fantastic and highly reusable.

It's not like we are going to be growing outside on Mars anyway. It will need to be under UV LEDs and solar powered. I expect the energy use of reclaiming the water from the air would be more than would be saved by trying to use solar lighting.

I like the idea of terraforming mars, but it seems like we are still going to be stuck living in bubbles anyway since it has no core or ability to block the various solar / cosmic waves that would wreck plants and animals and blast away any attempts at building a atmosphere.

It all comes down the regulatory hurdles. Even land prices are the result of rent-seeking behavior among land-holders due to regulatory impediment.

If California would pass legislation radically limiting regulatory burdens that municipalities and other legislative bodies could pass, this problem would disappear within a year or two.
"self worth" problems are lie foisted on you. You value yourself more than anyone else, and I can prove it. How much time and money do you spend taking care of yourself vs taking care of other people?

How much time do you spend thinking about your own problems vs other people's problems.

One of the first things I considered that changed my life was to worry about other people more than myself. If you do that, it's not possible to be depressed. If you try this and it doesn't work, keep worrying about other people more than yourself until it does.

Depression is a recursive self sadness. No one I have ever met, heard of or read about was truly depressed because of other people's problems.
As someone using machine learning to identify the patterns of bots on GDAX and riding the waves accordingly, I can say this is certainly happening. It's not just one bot though. There is huge money right now in crypto markets, both illegally and legally.
The main benefit of layer-based systems is latency, not throughput. Prerendered layer contents give you lower latency (and more consistent latency, which is usually more important perceptually) when scrolling, because you only have to adjust the positions of layers.

Also, I found that even after changing a few things in my life. The next thing I faced still hurt to change. But I was stronger facing it.

There are people I have met in way worse circumstances than me, and they made it. I found the more I looked for answers, the less excuses I could give myself unless I wanted to just lie to myself and believe my own lies.
Yes! But I was a student at UT Austin, which had a special student purchase agreement with Apple. Steve Jobs even came to campus and gave us a pep talk about it. So I got my whole setup for something like half price.
Price discrimination. Because they aren't getting effective competition from AMD right now they can sell to multiple tiers of customer for different prices. AMD is competitive in crypto, so they exempted crypto from the ban.

That is describing a different issue.

This test shows your visual system can detect the difference of 50ms between animations. Indeed, the human visual system can also tell the difference between 60 FPS (16ms) and 120 FPS (8ms), and even higher! This doesn’t mean that you can tell the difference striking a key and seeing the character draw on the screen after 8ms instead of 16ms.
Frequentist analyses will depend upon assumptions of the sampling process which often include specific stopping conditions. This means that the _reason_ an experiment ends is an important part of data. That exactly defies the likelihood principle since it means that our outcome is dependent on information not observed.
IMHO, keep on the path you are on until you are really comfortable with Angular, then learn React as well.

I went the opposite direction - put up a large React/Redux codebase and now have moved on to a position that requires Angular. There is no harm in knowing more than one framework, I find that both will get the job done.

Those claimed polling rates don’t necessarily translate into low latency. An article that showed up here a while ago touched on that. https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/
At least in a virtual terminal window, I'm fine with any of the reported latencies as long as the input stream is handled deterministically.

What I can't stand is typing "f" then pressing "<Enter>" in the url area of a browser, and the browser interpreting the url as "f" because "f" won the race against autocomplete's return value of "https://foo.com". Just hand "f" off to autocomplete and navigate to whatever the return value happened to be.

Of course it's a browser, so I'm sure someone could exploit my desired behavior to somehow mine cryptocurrencies in a hidden iframe.

True. But the first time I saw a Mac in person, I knew it was going to change the world and I had to develop for it. I spent all my savings on a Lisa and a Mac. It's hard to describe today just how radically impressive that first Mac was.
>My conclusion is that you haven't changed, what changed was the context. First you were a child, then you were a parent.

Yes, but I was crappy parent for 10 years, not just a short time. I raised a daughter to adulthood poorly, and I have regretted it and have had to make amends.

So context didn't change at all. What changed was I saw the future of a family that treated each other badly, and I was so desperate for that not to happen, I was able to change myself. I had to change how I treated people, and then they changed around me.

Also, I can confirm with full confidence that when my wife and I were first together, I was not grumpy and snippy. She told me that was one of the things she really liked about me, was how calm and reasonable I was.

Perhaps, the family part coming along could be considered a context change as kids came into the picture, the stresses of life, etc... and this brought out the "dormant" grouchy person.

But I have found that every person has a limit. Everyone can go crazy, turn crabby, or become mean and selfish under the right circumstances. But not everyone will fight against it.
>"It's mostly the rent but it's also Amazon."

How is it Amazon, when there's no shortage of people shopping in Manhattan? The streets are filled with people carrying shopping bags, every day of the week. Almost to the point of annoyance. Between locals and tourists people are never not out shopping.

>"NYC needs bodegas, bars, and coffee shops .."

There's absolutely no shortage of any of those three things. Those things are so incredibly abundant it seems very odd to say the city needs more of them.
I live in London too and use cash all the time! You should visit a food market — London has some of the best food markets I’ve been to! They are almost all “cash”. And generally, if you buy less than £10 at a local store, they inform you it’s cash only.

> It requires cities and counties to develop plans every eight years for new home building in their communities. After more than a year of work and spending nearly $50,000, Foster City had an 87-page housing plan that proposed hundreds of new homes, mapped where they would go and detailed the many ways the city could help make the construction happen. But a crucial element was missing: Foster City was never going to approve all the building called for in the voluminous proposal, Perez said.

Why would a municipality spend $50,000 on a do-nothing report? Instead keep the $50,000 and spend $2.00 on a report that says, "It would be best to do something about housing. Someone should build more houses."

Sure, the law is a failure, but the municipalities that spent that kind of money willy-nilly are just as limited in their success.
Well, I guess maybe in Japan that is of little concern, as it's a common toilet design.

lol, I googled "heterotrophe in toilet tank from soap" and your comment came up. :P

I did some searching, I simply can't see any problems with this. Worst case it seems you have to clean your tank.

Besides, doesn't the water and soap from your sink end up in the sewer anyway? Just not seeing the problem.
Relevance? You can seek perfection while ignoring sunk costs.

Avoiding the fallacy just means you compare the costs of reaching "perfection" from your current position to the value of reaching perfection. The cost you ignore is the cost you've spent to reach your current position, because that cost was incurred regardless of your decisions now.
Be careful with that corpwatch quote:

> Like most of the industry, Merck increasingly outsources its clinical trials to Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in areas of the world where ... regulations [are] lax...

Everybody outsources to CROs, that’s what CROs are for. Yes, people do trials all over the place but by and large those investigative sites tend to be pretty good with decent controls. The study population (per FDA regulations ) has to be reasonably representative of your treatment population btw, so you couldn’t get approval for a drug in the US bas d solely on studies done in Sweden, Nigeria or India.

Some countries are pretty lax (won’t name the ones I’m thinking of because I don’t want this to come off as a slur) but the agency is going to look askance at any data you get from there and try to use for approval. But they can be OK for some early investigation (within your safety protocol) as long as you aren’t foolish enough to go ahead with a program based solely on it.
A very poignant if cynical poem by the Greek poet Kavafis on this topic:

You said: “I’ll go to another country, go to another shore,
find another city better than this one.

Whatever I try to do is fated to turn out wrong
and my heart lies buried as though it were something dead.
How long can I let my mind moulder in this place?
Wherever I turn, wherever I happen to look,
I see the black ruins of my life, here,
where I’ve spent so many years, wasted them, destroyed them totally.”

You won’t find a new country, won’t find another shore.
This city will always pursue you. You will walk
the same streets, grow old in the same neighborhoods,
will turn gray in these same houses.

You will always end up in this city. Don’t hope for things elsewhere:
there is no ship for you, there is no road.

As you’ve wasted your life here, in this small corner,
you’ve destroyed it everywhere else in the world.

I don’t know why Amazon gets most of the blame for such outcomes. It is true that amazon’s efficiencies cannot be matched by most stores, but IMHO, I think it is the health insurance for employees that kills small businesses in the US.

~0.1s is the limit after which there is a distinct delay between action and response. This is not the same as the point at which things feel instantaneous.

> 0.1 second: Limit for users feeling that they are directly manipulating objects in the UI. For example, this is the limit from the time the user selects a column in a table until that column should highlight or otherwise give feedback that it's selected. Ideally, this would also be the response time for sorting the column — if so, users would feel that they are sorting the table. (As opposed to feeling that they are ordering the computer to do the sorting for them.)

Apparently imperceptible differences in latency can be felt vividly through break of habit.

A couple of years back, I didn't have any experience with online games and was introduced to a popular one by one of my friends. As we were playing some introductory matches, 400ms latency connection felt very instantaneous to me, while he felt super annoyed and advised me to change my ISP. Some months after changing my ISP and regularly playing the game, I could instinctively feel the difference between a 60ms connection and a 120ms connection.

Your definition of victimhood is idiosyncratic, and apparently quite specific to your moral framework, which seems to have an obvious problem in that it declares all externalities to be moot (i.e., no involuntarily affected party has moral standing because it creates tension and conflict with the moral standing of the directly consenting participants).

That's fine if that's how you want to resolve the problem--just declare that no indirect participants matter--but insofar as it fails to appreciate their experience, I think you're going to have trouble selling your moral framework as anything but a Randian fantasy of callous self-determination.

> “It’s not like people are dying from pesticides in cannabis..."

It's entirely possible that many people are dying from carcinogenic pesticides in cannabis. Similar to the way people die from impure cocaine, heroin, etc. Igniting and inhaling petroleum products is not going to be found to be healthy.

The secondary affects of drugs being illegal and unregulated is one of the great sins of the War on Drugs.

Commercial cannabis should be highly regulated. Look to startups and technology to bring the price of pure organic ganja down over a short few years.

Sometimes. The GeForce GTX 690 used the same chip as the Quadro K5000 (the GK104). More recent generations typically have different silicon (or bins with defective regions) in the pro and gaming lines. For instance, high end pascal gaming cards use GP104, but Tesla P100 uses the GP100.
