Salaries are paid based on what a very competitive market demands in a place with high cost of living and taxes, but they're a large amount in absolute dollars. Anyone moving to the Bay Area when young and maximizing their savings rate can easily and quickly save a fairly large amount, which can then be invested with an eye to long term growth.

Nobody is twisting your arm to use that money to buy a Bay Area house and settle permanently. After a decade, move away and you're suddenly rich.

I don't think much has changed, it's just that we see a lot more diversity than 30 years ago. Having grown up in East Germany, if I hadn't lived close enough to the Western border I could only have viewed East German TV and read East German newspapers. In the US you were (for the most part) not exposed to anything from Russia, and vice versa. Now more people get to see that the world is quite a bit more colorful, for both better and worse.

I don't think it matters all that much, because apart from passive news consumption, what would you actually do (that is impacted by the information)?

The OSM Wiki contains a Data Catalogue for Australia.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogu...

The issue right now is that both the PSMA data (that you want OSM to use) and the ASGS data (that you infer it is using - and in some cases that might be the source of the boundaries that were entered, but it is not officially in use by OSM) are licensed under CC-BY, which is not 100% compatible with the ODbL that OSM uses.

The necessary solution is to request an explicit waiver from the data provider, which has been requested for PSMA, but (as far as I know) never received a response.

Henri Bergson and the Perception of Time
The server seems dead, can't handle the load.

I wonder if the author considered the collision of urban-philia being a political distinction, and geographic boundaries are mostly a political or geographic accident. So statistically the most diverse city will have 100% non-diverse neighborhoods like any other city, but will have weirdly large boundaries for legacy historical reasons such that the "diverse" city includes distant rural farmland and suburbs whereas "non-diverse" city with identical neighborhoods and demographics will have small city limits boundaries.

That title is way too clever!
AI is a bit of a buzzword, but working for an AI startup, I see a lot of talented developers doing some very clever things with code. All of them are seriously engaged with the projects they're working on and work long hours because they want to solve the problems.

Beware though, a lot of jobs advertised as 'AI' may not be and may wind up being banal/tedious as you describe because AI as a field is very, very young and not fully defined.

While it hasn't yet blocked it, the UK Government is certainly constantly after WhatsApp to remove the encryption (or build a backdoor) because a couple of terrorist jackoffs used it that one time (and I think they count as "political dissenters".)
Recently there was a hacker news post about using gpus in mining rigs as gpu instances to perform deep learning.

I've found that with old alcohol recipes, they always specify a recipe to make massive amounts.

A few years ago I was looking at recipes for brewing from the Household Cyclopedia of 1881 [1]. The recipes specify malt by the sack. 3 sacks of malt to brew 3 barrels. I never did actually brew any beer from the book, since the recipes were fairly standard and not altogether that different from modern brewing. 1881 is late enough that we had a good understanding of the chemistry and microbiology involved in brewing beer.

The book also has recipes for various liqueurs, usually with recipes calling for 4 gallons of spirits. There's even a recipe for "port wine" that calls for 100 gal of claret and 12 gal of honey.

You can describe what a webserver does in anthropomorphic terms if you like, but it's not the webserver's "intentions" that are relevant. It's the intentions of the people who control the website and the intentions of the person who accesses it.

>There's no law moral or legal that stops me from asking for information.

I wouldn't be so confident of that if you haven't read up on the relevant laws. Many countries have prohibitions against unauthorized access that apply in circumstances where the access is not "unauthorized" in a technical sense relating to the details of the HTTP protocol. The law doesn't necessarily say what you would want it to say or what you would expect it to say. See e.g. the following example from the US. (I'm aware that the incident we're discussing occurred in Canada.)

To change an old joke we have all types of politics Democrat (centre right) and republican ( originally centre right but now take over by far right entryists).
It is always the same, a law is enacted and it includes a window of a few years to give everybody time to implement it. A few weeks before the law goes into effect, everybody is screaming that they need more time. I guess we don't leave university after all.

Looking for a submission about buildings not being made as they used to be
There was a submission here long ago, months at lesat, where someone on their blog made a good argument that buildings aren't made like they used to be: THey are worse in pretty much every aspect, and the person gave arguments and tons of pictures to prove it.

By any chance, does anyone know which one I mean?

Thanks
I think that's a pretty solid summary.
> The relevant section of the Canadian Criminal Code[1] requires either fraudulent intent or some actual manipulation/destruction of the server.

Not quite. The test is:

> Everyone is guilty... who, fraudulently and without colour of right, obtains, directly or indirectly, any computer service (including... the storage or retrieval of computer data)

The Crown can argue that the documents were retrieved/obtained using manipulation of the server (since the public URLs were manipulated to find non-public URLs.)
It seems shockingly irresponsible that it is allowed to build high rises in areas that can undergo liquefaction.

No matter how strong the building is if the ground gives up it must fall over.
It's a hyperbolic example, but I doubt life on Earth would adapt to being engulfed by the sun, for one
Not if you're a developer. It has all other features stripped down. Even a photo viewer is absent. Linux subsystem is at beta level, no store (there are some good apps on the store), also no new windows features (fluent design, emoji?, gpu tracking in task manager, etc... you get the idea).

Granted not everyone needs this.
I knew someone who lived in the building, and while she didn't report cracks in the walls, she did say that things would reliably roll toward one corner of her apartment if they weren't secured.
Doesn't that transfer the ownership of the domain to the fake entity/person you've specified?
Well maybe you shouldn't be using antisocial hacker tools like DownThemAll! An ordinary user would never use such tools. /s

Healthcare in the UK moves at a snail's pace. NICE requires a lot of evidence before they will permit new treatments. The bigger issue though are the "Daily Mail politics" of using drugs that can be abused - it's seen as politically toxic with a particular segment of voters. Take cannabis as an example - it was moved back to class B years ago, purely for political reasons. And as other nations are starting to use it therapeutically, we still seem light years away.

> ... for long-term community health

I understand words like books and bricks and apples, because these words have physical referents. I have no idea what "long-term community health" means.

What does that mean?

And why would anyone invest more in it than in barricades and highly weaponized security guards? (I'm not actually promoting an armed response to whatever a 'community' is, I'm just using it as a rhetorical foil to try to understand the pros and cons of investing in whatever a 'community' is)
Fair game, IMO. Pretty sure Russia and the West are incompatible, at least for a long while. If you ask Russia they'll say that NATO violated the verbal agreement of not coming near Russia via membership, but NATO says that countries have the right to decide for themselves etc etc. Plus Russia is a shadow of USSR.

So it's a war, of sorts. Russia says that USA sponsors all these groups it determines to be anti-Russian and interferes in Russian elections, so it returns the favors with fake news /Trump election.

But in the end, Russia is bound to lose--again. Money talks and Russia doesn't have much, the richer world wants /needs to stay in good graces with the Western world. So we have sanctions, choose between Russians or USA+EU plus most of the world. This oligarch thing is kinda smart...if they hurt, they might try to take on Putin. There's a limit on how much a billionaire criminal who can't buy a villa in Spain anymore can take. But then, if they miss with the only bullet...

If there's two things people in tech seem to vastly underestimate it's how many old people are technologically literate and how many young people are technologically illiterate. I wouldn't be surprised if there are correlations but you're right, age itself isn't the issue.

Until you create a true point to point channel between households without any corporate or government equipment, this is just a dream.

Over 20M of Chrome Users Are Victims of Fake Ad Blockers
Given that we tend to over-emphasise the differences between ideological positions that we're more familiar with, and under-emphasise the difference between positions that we aren't, it's hard to see how an exercise like this tells us anything except the author's own political experience and imagination. Even if there were empirical data here, how could we objectively determine the distance between ideological perspectives? And what dimensions of their many differences do we emphasise?

We see this most clearly when we look at ideologies that are dominant today. For example, a fairly core ideology over the last 30 years is that more and more aspects of society either should, or inevitably will, be governed by the market. As a result, ideologies that don't subscribe to this this idea are generally viewed as similar no matter how much they might otherwise be unrelated. Which is kind of strange, since 'ideologies that don't subscribe to this idea' amounts to most of the ideologies adopted over the course of human history.
Not vote for Trump / Brexit / BoJo (heaven forbid)?
It's true that some cities are bubbles without conservatives, but you have to keep in mind that America itself is a bubble without any real left wing to speak of. If you care about getting the full range of ideology that exists in most other western countries, you need to choose a city with a large international population like NYC.

This just goes to show that the idea of 'diversity' is always a value judgement about what the 'right' mix of people is.

Telling them to GTFO doesn't really comfort you if you receive fake (hopefully) bomb packages at home or whatever else (frequent mailings of poop for example). The local police generally also doesn't do very much for you (unless it's really bad, like a real immediate threat to your life from an actual pipe bomb). Even if they do, that doesn't mean it will stop anytime soon.

In the meantime it's slowly eating away at your sanity: Is this real mail? Can I go outside for groceries without getting stabbed? These are not fun concerns to have to have. Seeing as it's 100% avoidable and unnecessary to have this information available in this way, I don't think it is a bad thing to remove it.

Manufacturers don't really choose plastic for longevity, they choose it because it's cheap and easy to work with (ie plastic [adjective]).

There are already biodegradable alternatives for almost everything but they add a few pence to the cost of a happy meal, say, and aren't a strong enough differentiator at the point of sale for profit-driven companies to care about it. The alternatives don't instantaneously degrade, they usually need proper composting to quickly degrade (high temperatures, aerobic).

We've used compostable nappies that when properly composted can degrade fully in a year - they're similar in use (save not releasing "gel balls"), don't appear to have a significantly depleted shelf-life. I don't know why such things aren't mandated TBH.
I turned myself into their desired lab rat for the "Semantris" blocks game. I "lost" the game, but on a few occasions really it didn't match the word I was giving a clue for. There seemed to be no way to say "nope, that's not what I meant" -- which would seem to negatively reinforce what I thought the goal of the game was (to train the AI overlords on the semantics). I "lost", really, when the AI bot made mistakes. Perhaps the AI bot real goal is training me to make better, more obvious, clues. Weird.
That could be more an indicator of a lack of political consensus or a fractured political power then of ideological diversity.

As a concrete analogy, let's pretend there's a monarchy and the king, with identical twins, dies. There can be a highly competitive power struggle in between the two heirs but not over anything ideologically different.

This happens in sports all the time. There's many highly competitive sports games, but the two teams are still playing the same game by the same rules; they don't represent different ideologies.
