Only because we have defined the role of a death certificate as containing the immediate medical cause of death. You’re arguing that something should be the way it is because that’s the way it is.
the kind of conclusion as "all of 70% decrease was caused by this single factor" (as the title implies) is incredibly intelectually dishonest to ever make. So I'm not looking at the data from the perspective "I bet they were too stupid/uneducated to think about correlation != causation", but rather from the "looks like they're trying to find data to substantiate their political agenda" perspective.

Edit: having said that, yeah, I don't have any actual research experience, and the data does look pretty convincing - as in, banning pesticides probably does contribute to a reduction in suicides a non-trivial amount.
Anything at a custom domain that doesn't look direct to an individual (e.g. not realname@domain.tld) is a big hint to spammers that the owner uses a catch-all and thus any address will get the job done. I suppose you could go with a whitelist for every random address you give out and blacklist the ones that misbehave, but that's a lot of work and, since every company misbhaves these days, including entities like banks, you'll likely miss emails you actually need.
To be fair the potential to earn a high salary is much higher in NYC than many other places. All those huge towers are full of executives, VP's and highly skilled workers. There are many hundreds of thousands of people making 6-figure salaries here and tens of thousands making over a million.

However, many people in NYC do not make big money and it comes down to living further away from Manhattan and having roommates. Depending on the industry you're in you can have a huge range in salaries based on experience, your reputation and simple luck.
That seems a good thing economically.

Imagine there's a place on Earth that is somehow truly amazing and fills you with happiness for a long time for just visiting it.

Obviously, it makes sense to have as many different people as possible be able to appreciate it, which requires having them visit only one or a few nights.

Clearly, people should not be able to monopolize a flat there for 365 days a year, and if they do they should pay a fortune since they are denying other 364 people access to the place.

This also works for less amazing but still touristically interesting places.

Also the best solution would be to have enough housing to meet needs both from one-day-per-year demand and for 365-day-per-year demand, but if that's impossible tourists should definitely be the priority over wanna-be residents.

Did you pay the rent yourself on that ~75k? Of course not. You paid half and your roomate the other half. Your answer is not really valid as you proved your income at the time was not enough to afford the apartment.
Thanks, this is food for thought.

> Even if denying people the right to self-determination is a positive in your ethical system

You are not denying people right to self-determination, in any way. If someone really wants to have a suicide method handy so that they can commit suicide immediately when they feel the impulse, you can buy it ahead of the time.

> What if we've saved some lives...but also made 200,000 farmers each spend an extra five hours a week bent over in their fields, picking bugs off leaves? Or made them plant more land in order to harvest the same amount of food?

Do you have any reason to think any of that is true? If you have to go to a specialist shop to buy pesticide instead of the grocery store where it's right next to your food; or if you have to use pesticide that's slightly more expensive but not toxic to humans, suddenly it's like you need to pick bugs off leaves?

Measuring costs is a fine idea; and 80000 hours definitely do that. Making up costs just to seem contrary is something completely different.

Isn't the intent with a system like Lambda that you'd not do any kind of blocking action. Instead, you'd trigger some event that the AWS database solutions would receive. Once the DB has finished the query it sends the data back and triggers another lambda function.

Improbable or not, that's great! Two people taking the same photo with phones seems likely these days, but accidentally discovering a picture of yourself taking a picture of the photographer, published in the NYT, that's an awesome coincidence.

I love how completely and dramatically different those two photos of the same place and time are. The reporter was telling a story of somewhere remote and hard to get to and barely touched by humans. One single sturdy but old Siberian looking truck and a half dozen crazy scientists in front of vast stretches of nothing but snow. And yours is showing a bit more of the day in the life there for humans standing next to an airport. The real dot on the i, and extra minor coincidence is the jet taking off right next to the reporter's head. Both photos are true, and both photos, one could say, give misleading impressions taken only on their own.

This is straight up malware behaviour.
The film industry example makes sense. Partially duplicative tables make development confusing.

Do you still feel there is an advantage of graph over relational when we have a known schema and known relationships without deep recursive relationships. For example, an inventory tracking system, we have items, customers, deliveries,etc...?
I like the idea of being able to throw some metadata onto any of those tables quickly during prototyping, but my gut feeling is that long term we run into the need to be more structured and explicit like we do with a relational DB. It reminds me somewhat of the tradeoffs with NoSQL DBs during development

Rent controlled and rent stabilized two very different things but both decrease housing inventory.

According to this there are 1 million rent stabilized (not controlled) units in NYC: https://ny.curbed.com/2017/4/13/15264890/nyc-apartments-guid...

If that's accurate, it's a little bit more than a rounding error.

Ultimately there has to be a balance. Throwing out long-time renters isn't a great idea but nor is capping prices to decrease inventory.

Personally I favor construction reform -- I mean, look how expensive that 1 mile of the 2nd Ave subway was. It shouldn't be that expensive to build in NYC.
The credibility was already kind of shoddy. Had she tried more than 1 gym, she'd would have found the atmosphere and people can be wildly different.

The whole article reeked to me of, "I don't understand this, therefore I have disdain for people who do, and they must be X, Y and Z."

I workout at a corporate center's free gym. I do powerlifting. I keep a log of my progress.

I also keep a log of when I do oil changes, and what groceries I need. I don't like to just "guess". That's all that means.
Um, there's a very clear causative model: not having toxic pesticide on hand makes poisoning yourself with pesticide much harder! Did you even read the article before assuming the two must be unrelated?

> debugging is more complicated

Only if macros are second-class relative to built-in primitives in terms of debug support.

E.g. typical C compiler and debugger not knowing anything about C macros; if we make a loop construct entirely in a C LOOP(...) macro (spanning many lines of the source file), any error within the statements and expressions enclosed in LOOP will be reported against LOOP's line number. Moreover, we will not be able to step through those individual expressions in the debugger.

Totally agree with you. I do judo and workout at a regular gym and I'm in pretty good shape.

You're right, it does pose a new kind of threat. And it shouldn't be able to operate with impunity.

Renters can't sublet their place on AirBnB, only owners can. And you'd select long-term tenants over short-term AirBnB'ers b/c it's less work (or should be). But your point is still valid: the presence of AirBnB can disincentivize a slice of owners to rent to locals.

I'm just saying any study on the negative effects of AirBnB on housing is myopic if it doesn't include arcane rent stabilization/control laws and the obscene price of new construction.

I don't think 1950's manual/mechanic typewriters were particularly good sources for electronic keyboard designs, and I'm pretty sure the Commodore branded typewriters were mechanical designs like this one [1] that still dominated in the 50's (there were certainly electric typewriters available, but that market was mostly dominated by IBM and Remington Rand).

That's great, but nobody uses it, so we don't target it.
Sure. Netflix's Chief Product Officer, Neil Hunt, has provided the 15% statistic directly in interviews. There are a few places you can find him saying this, but the first one I found by searching was this: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/netflix-redefined-american-co.... Other estimates (typically by employees self-reporting) put it at about 20%. Keep in mind about half of those are involuntary departures. Personally, I think that involuntary departures are a meaningful measure when we're talking about employee retention, but there are reasonable arguments to the contrary. More pertinently, Netflix's culture is somewhat unique among tech companies of its size in that it fires very quickly.

Contributing my own anecdata here: I am familiar with current and past employees at Netflix who have told me personally that plenty of people are fired from Netflix because they don't jive with the culture, not necessarily because they are incompetent. That's not intended to be a remark about Netflix being a toxic company; on the contrary, I think Netflix is pretty self-aware about its "corporate values." But that means that engineers who could succeed at Google, Facebook, etc might not succeed at Netflix because the latter looks for a lot of self-direction and career ambition, not just competence.

Circling back to the point: I've seen some people slice off involuntary termination numbers when discussing attrition at tech companies, but I don't think that's appropriate. Sometimes people leave because they're intellectually or financially unsatisfied, and that would mostly comprise the ~7.5-10% that leave voluntarily. But if the bar for being fired is lower, it's probably useful to incorporate the involuntary departures, because there's an argument many of them would leave voluntarily even if not fired due to a culture mismatch.
> Raise taxes on them enough and they move to NJ or CT and it's actually a net loss for the city.

Theoretically, increased taxes shouldn't affect the cost of living, because the supply is fixed, and the market price is way above maintenance costs. The revenue will simply shift from the banks and landowners to the public. At least that's the theory, but it should work for a gradual tax increase.

Why? Even writing micro service in C++ is dead simple these days:

1. write the service specification in Thrift.

2. Generate the server and client stub with the framework.

3. Write the service functions.

4. Most probably you'd need to include some database/cache libraries. Poco project does a fairly good job.

5. Add some more logging and metric libraries.

6. General tools/libs are available in poco and folly.

7. If you are messing with REST, Microsoft Rest SDK and Facebook Proxygen is already providing a very solid foundation. High performance servers are already written. You just need to fill the call backs and configure the thread pools.

Why do you consider this more difficult than doing the same in Go? You just need some intermediate C++ knowledge for above tasks. No need to touch template programming, manually managing threads, ...

I'm not aware of any correlation between blindness and programming language preference, even when blind programmers work on their own projects. I used to think blind programmers wouldn't like Python because it has significant indentation. (Note: I'm visually impaired, but I program visually, not with a screen reader.) But as it turns out, I know blind programmers who love Python and can deal with the indentation just fine. The NVDA screen reader is written in Python, and that project was started by a blind programmer who could choose any language he pleased.

Some projects developed exclusively or primarily by blind programmers do make odd indentation choices. A couple of my blind programmer friends prefer single-space indentation, or at least they did the last time I worked with them (using Python). NVDA uses tabs for indentation, which breaks with the Python convention of four spaces per indentation level. But blind programmers are perfectly capable of following the usual indentation conventions when working with sighted programmers.

Finally, I don't know of any blind programmers who like COBOL. I'm sure there are some, probably working at banks like their sighted counterparts; I just don't happen to know them.
Well every comment thread on the Internet related to the Rift issue mentioned this as a solution so it probably wasn't his idea.
I actually really like this idea. There are so many random things on github that get broken over time. The implementation though clearly is problematic and github has no choice but to block this behaviour.

I could image though a system where there was some sort of community managed github bot. Developers could submit pull request to the community service to fix common issues. Github would then run the service nightly themselves. Developers could opt-out of the service if they wanted. Something like this could be very handy for many things - security issues, typos, broken links, etc.

So I need an extra preprocessor run to output make rules into temporary files and then I have to hack make rules to make it work. That's what we had 20 years ago. Any decent C/C++ build system these days does not need extra rules for this. And that's how it should be.
