Except that the people who are making the argument for living in the city without a car constantly cite costs as justification.

And besides, isn't it the other way around? Unless you're living in one of a few extremely narrow areas of very specific cities, the really wealthy people live outside the urban core.
I'm not surprised by your friend's observations, but that's rather beside the point of my comment.

I'm curious about other examples, particularly in mainstream applications.
The bit on Wikipedia that follows the equation is part of the equation. It is the context that explains how to compute it. You need that bit because the equation uses extremely common syntax as short-hand for an operation that is different from the common one. If you write it in a way that doesn't rely on redefining common syntax like so "ζ(-1) = -1/12" it seems a lot less interesting doesn't it? Perhaps syntax confusion is the only interesting thing to it.
I was thinking something like

Number.prototype.toString = () => '';

let a = '';

Although I always forget which side gets coerced (this would assume the right-hand side does). I like the side-effect approach, though — seems more nuanced and probably what they were looking for.

In the last month since September I had many opportunities to work in IT-Support and local in Stuttgart positions which I declined. There were also some very interesting positions, but there’s a company who actually interested in me and where I think I can get the most personal benefit from. So I mean not the money, but more the things that they’re working on.
That's not true, total compensation in the article is ~1.7 more in SF than Toronto, but that includes stock options which are not actually the same as cash. The 2x figure comes from an analysis that factors in living expenses and refers to the amount of money you get left over for savings and similar things. Also, that comparison oddly compares living in a frat-like house in SF to having your own one bedroom apartment in Toronto.

Look up the definition of a "monopoly." Google is giant, sure, but it's not the only search provider, or email provider, or anything else that it does (aside from some random niche things.) And everyone has perfect freedom to switch from Google to another provider of these services, which isn't true for ISPs if only one company has fiber going to your house.

Not to mention the salary difference will get soaked up by real estate differences the moment you decide to buy a house.

Not that Toronto real estate is cheap either. I think Google Waterloo is a great value: high CAD salary but low real estate prices (around half of Toronto).

The optimal play (if you don't want to permanently live in the US) is to go to SF, continue living like a student and sock away your cash while building your reputation, then move back to Canada and work remote with a grandfathered USD salary.
I agree with your statements (not sure though, about the partisanship issue of any particular agency). The FTC's enforcement (in concert with the DoJ's) is responsive, not prescriptive, except under the interpretation of anti-trust law, which to my understanding is very robust for checking what NN proponents are fearful of happening, if ISPs in fact should make those moves.

Defining ISPs as Common Carriers makes me more uneasy. Are there really no unintended consequences there? My understanding is that Common Carrier status connotes that there is a recognized definitive benefit to having the monopoly, as with railroads or telephone networks. It seems to enshrine as necessary the municipal and regional exclusivity contracts. Are you so sure there would be no potential risks to innovation and a bequeathing of great power to ISPs by having them declared utilities?

What does it have to do with white people?

Try taking public transit when you live a 10 minute drive out of the city, its just not going to work. Ride sharing isn't great because if you have a large family you have to split up, and it's not available everywhere.

I love the concept of Luna and think the project itself was great,

However I feel you guys have chosen a poor approach to distributing it.

① I feel it would have been far better to implement the studio as an Atom plugin rather than a fork of Atom

② I feel having the compiler only available bundled into the studio is a mistake, there should be a pure CLI interface with minimal external dependencies so that people can use Luna in their existing CI pipelines

That is unlikely to pay out to someone who bought after BitConnect was shut down.

Generally speaking, when a regulator resoles a Ponzi scheme they take the promoter's assets and help put it into trust. That trust has two jobs. One, to sue those who sold their BCC before the scheme unraveled [1]. And two, to distribute cash to those who lost money.

Measuring the Tendency of CNNs to Learn Surface Statistical Regularities

First, unofficial estimates of Russia’s defense budget are about $70 billion: https://www.rt.com/business/russia-increases-military-spendi.... Second, Russia doesn’t pay soldiers US salaries. Russia’s purchasing power parity (PPP) GDP is 2.6x higher than its exchange rate GDP. Applying that same factor to Russia’s defense budget results in $182 billion. Third, we quite reasonably don’t want to maintain mere parity with our enemies. We want a decisive if not overwhelming advantage. That costs exponentially more money. It’s like Intel’s spending on fab R&D. Intel spends 6x as much as TSMC and 4x as much as Samsung. That buys Intel a well under 50% advantage in fabrication process over those companies. Or airliners. In constant dollars, the 777 cost twice as much as the 747. The 787 cost another factor of two more. For 4x the cost, improvement in fuel use per passenger mile is under 40%. It would be amazing if the less than 3x (real) difference in spending gave us even a twice as capable military.
I used a mid-2013 MBA as my main work machine for 4 years and loved it. I also hoped for an updated MBA. But what would an updated MBA look like? Let's keep the 13.3 inch screen and full size keyboard, and:

* Upgrade the screen to a retina display
* Shrink those old-fashioned bezels
* Integrated GPU only is fine
* Update the 2 USB ports to USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 with power delivery
* Current generation CPU
* Keep the weight about the same

We've just built the 2-port MacBook Pro. (w/out touchbar). It's slightly less wide and deep than the MBA, thinner overall than the MBA's thickest point and a mere 20 grams heavier.

Of course it is somewhat more expensive than the MBA, but you cannot expect upgraded technology for free.

tl;dr Apple did an "upgraded MBA" when they bifurcated the MBP line, and nobody noticed.
The article is probably underselling general rel here. The Einstein equation is famous for packing a whole lot of 4-dimensional, nonlinear tensor nastiness into an elegant little package.

You need to add something like an equation of state to turn it into a complete dynamical system, but I am suspect that there is enough nastiness in the gravity part alone that it will be difficult to solve in many regimes. What saves us is that we are usually concerned with low-temperature, low density systems, or else highly symmetric like stars and black holes.
I thought this item would be related to that very popular item... I saw it mentioned in discussion.

At work I just recently managed to trip it three times in one day, which I consider a record since in the past I've encountered it at most a few times a week. What's more infuriating is that my queries were far less complex than the ones that tripped it before (trying to find information about some API constants), basically one quoted term and one site: modifier. I can understand if I was querying 24/7 and hogging their servers (in which case a nice "please slow down" message would be much better), but it tripped within a few minutes of, admittedly intense, Googling.

The security device may notify the attacker device that the solution is incorrect regardless of whether the solution is actually correct.

In Google's case, it doesn't do that at all --- solve one CAPTCHA successfully and all you get is another, immediately. If you actually do deliberately give the wrong answers, it does tell you they were incorrect.

I wonder what can be done to stop it from doing that, besides the old tactic of evading IP bans by changing IP --- it's somewhat creepy to think that it's probably capable of detecting that too and banning the entire subnet. On second thought, it might be worth it... if it means I can get thousands of others blocked from Google for a nontrivial amount of time, all the more mouths to complain and maybe force some reconsideration. I am not a robot. I am not a competitor scraping your pages or doing anything else against your ToS. I am just an intelligent human with over two decades of Internet searching experience enthusiastically using your service for the exact purpose it claims to do: to find something on the Internet.

I wasn't sure if this list would be any good, but it says right at the top that it's "curated." Imagine my relief!
To be a bit more explanatory: You can cast to the "any" type by adding `as any` to any variable, and it will then work just like Javascript. Typescript will know not to infer types from it or complain about it, and for that variable (which could be a simple variable or an entire library) will work just as it would in regular javascript. I typically use this when testing out a new library that doesn't have Typescript types so I can get a feel for it (and if I like it, I"ll progressively add types to it; its a very nice process imo).
The fact that Tether does not guarantee in their terms and conditions that they'll exchange Tether back into equivalent reserve currency makes it _super_ sketchy from my point of view.

The only way that Tether should be considered backed by and equivalent to USD (risk-reduced) is if Tether is contractually obligated to convert it back into USD. Instead, this is what their TOS says:

> Tethers are not money and are not monetary instruments. They are also not stored value or currency. There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your Tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of Tethers by us for money.

> We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees to you of any kind, including with respect to any right of redemption or exchange of Tethers for any property.

For more on this, see my previous comment exploring the idea of "Tether being worthless": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15997658

I disagree a little. I'd rather you overshare by default so we don't miss an opportunity to learn something. The kind of people who will actually go deploy ISP's vs talk about them will not fret over 4 vs 1 device. They'll just email you for clarification. :)

I do like the idea of simple, base recommendations with context-driven extras. Plus, in-depth guides on what you found each piece of equipment useful for, common situations you ran into with equipment or deployments, how you dealt with them. This kind of thing could be like a blog you do regularly as you go so it's not too time consuming. A small community could help you curate it or answer common questions on a forum or something.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts as I found all that info useful in putting together cost ranges for some people. Personally, I'm wanting something similar for fiber maybe like Sonic does or those folks in Britain rolling it out in rural areas. The wireless I'm collecting for others or just as a fallback option for any project I get into if fiber is too infeasible.
I'm personally looking forward to these scams being weeded out. It's going to make the world of crypto even stronger.

> That being said, the ability to drive is nevertheless a useful skill and asset and at least in the United States, does not have a very high barrier to entry (for better or worse).

Definitely a useful skill but I disagree there's a low barrier to entry if you are in a dense city. Driving school is expensive (I got my license about a decade ago in Boston, and it was probably over $1,000 in classes) and time consuming. Most people you know don't have cars, and even your friends who do are justifiably wary of letting you practice your new skill in their most valuable profession, something they own because they need it to get to work.

I have seen many of my friends get their permits in cities like SF, NY and Boston and never get their licenses, or get their licenses and never feel comfortable driving solo, and these are not people who shy away from learning new skills in general.
The title is misleading; Foxconn's plant is not costing Wisconsin anywhere near $4.5 billion, according to the article itself. In reality, the state is outlaying very little money to bring in this company, probably about $20 million total. Even the interstate improvements are cited as previously planned and not a special accommodation to Foxconn, except that it was moved up in priority.

Tax exemptions and credits are a common method of enticing businesses to set up shop. The notion that this somehow "costs" the state is mere rhetoric with no factual basis. The money the state is supposedly losing by not taxing the plant never existed. If Foxconn never moved there, there's zero potential of tax revenue. The fact that Foxconn made a deal with the state for a package of tax incentives merely means the state won't collect theoretical corporate and property taxes from this entity. The state is not paying money out of the treasury to Foxconn.

What the state does get from Foxconn is jobs. Three thousand jobs is significant, even in a moderately populous state that's already doing well. The employees pay state income tax (ranging from roughly 4% to 7%), they'll spend their paychecks on food, cars, homes, and consumer goods, and the ripple effects will be quite beneficial. The initial construction will employ lots of people as well--builders, inspectors, security, suppliers, utilities, etc.

It's interesting that the Asian countries have long recognized the benefits of plants and factories, whereas in the U.S. people have come to regard these efforts as a bad thing, polluting and greedy and tax evaders. Singapore one time offered HP ten years tax free in return for setting up a laptop factory there; they understood implicitly that technology employment is beneficial to the local economy.

I frankly can't understand why people (aside from NIMBY neighbors who don't want the increased traffic and activity) would characterize this excellent development as a net negative.
