Bluetooth is lossy compression. There are plenty of reasons to still stick with AUX and the 3.5mm jack. It does make a difference in sound quality. Additionally if I'm traveling and forget my headphones, it will cost me $5 to get a pair to get me through the week. Bluetooth headphones are more expensive.

There is a guy who was able to fit a 3.5mm jack in his iPhone X. They just chose not to do it. It's not like having a 3.5mm jack excludes you from also having Bluetooth technology. We've had both in phones for years. Apple just wanted to sell more air pods. I'm not hating on Apple, they're a business, but to act like Bluetooth is a strict upgrade is just blatantly wrong and I will continue to use my AUX jack.
That's mentioned in the article:

> Most serve breakfast (sausages, eggs, bacon), sandwiches and hot drinks, with the occasional pie or lasagne cooked by the owners at home and reheated in the skinny kitchens. Non-cabbies aren’t allowed to sit inside – unless issued with a rare invitation – but can order through a window hatch.

> “We bring in more money that way,” said Jude Holmes, who runs the kitchen at Russell Square. “I can serve hundreds of people while a driver sits with one cup of tea.”
Ah, right. That's a good point. We have to consider the other arm of the counterfactual. Against his companies that can't launch because they can't get an audience, we have to compare the companies that can't launch today because they can't afford to buy an audience.

IT contractors or contract-to-hire is likely dead as well. And good fucking riddance.

I contract out work from my company. You know what I don't require? Them to come and work at my office from "core hours". I don't have a dress code. I only have specs on what they're creating and the tools, which they provide.

They bill per job and do it at their leisure as well.

Just like when I built homes, my contractors provided everything they needed and I provided materials. I scheduled them but they showed up whenever it fit in their schedule based off their other contract jobs.

They're also required to carry their own GL and Worker's Comp if I hire them or go through their own LLC/Corp.

Whenever I hear this I'm always reminded of Ian M. Banks' infamous Mind (AI/Ship), the Gray Area, showing off his collection of torture devices to a passenger. Many of the Minds collect weird things as a hobby.

The centre piece being the neural lace, a VR device embedded in the mind of virtually every culture citizen which they use to communicate, dream fantastic dreams and experience amazing things in total safety.

Which it remarks on being the most effective torture device ever invented.
Not really about organizational skills but I really liked the book First Things First by Covey. Its 20 years old but still very relevant.

Often the problem is not that you aren't organized enough - its that you're working on the wrong things. You should be working on long term payoffs, and say no or delegate/automate trivial busywork that often gets in the way.

Tips to speed up your web browser
I think there is a subset of users who interact with text far more than others. I find I can't read without a pen in hand — if I am not marking up the text or taking marginal notes then I feel like I'm only receiving a narrow sliver of what I consider a "full" reading experience. (This is true for novels as much, if not more, as it is for non-fiction.) My suggestions were to bring to the Kindle something akin to the experience of reading paper with a pen in hand.
When TM was at its peak, I heard comments from people in the DoD/intel community that the primary value of having a Thinking Machines computer was recruiting value. At least one company set one up in a very prominent place so that new developer recruits would see it and think the company was cutting edge. They rarely if ever actually developed on it because they found it just wasn't practical to write (or rewrite) code bases to take advantage of the parallel architecture. (and DARPA had paid for it, so it didnt actually cost the company that much).
This is a big change of topic. I had a different topic about allowing people to live without cars, if you'd like to talk about that, let's do it on that other comment thread.
Most people I know in San Francisco don't own cars and certainly don't make use of freeways as part of their commute. With high-density cities and good public transit, you really have much less need for cars.

Also, given that cars are inherently dangerous, cause environmental harm, and take up a lot of space, it seems like it's in the public interest to discourage car ownership/use.
I had several places ask me if I'd do contract to hire.

I said then yes, I'll do it for a set period of time at $250/hr, and it can't be canceled by either party until fruition.

To my surprise, they didn't like that offer. Contract to hire is a fucking joke.
London is probably one of the few cities where I prefer taking a cab over an Uber or something else.

I can't even count the number of times where I've had Uber drivers tell me they have no clue of where they're driving (i.e. I have a better understanding of the city than them) and they used to be UPS drivers before turning to driving for Uber.
If your reference to 'you' means someone running a site who only has possession of a reduced IP address, then how would connection work?

Or are you saying that if I went to an ISP with the reduced IP address, they could disclose details of the person, if they only had 1 account within the range of IP addresses that the restricted IP address covered? This doesn't seem particularly likely to me? I thought ISPs hold a block of IPs and dole them out on that basis, and so resulting in only a loose connection between IP address and location?

On large companies, that would be out of scope, because whilst the reduced ISP may be linked to 1 large company, the assumption would be that the large company had multiple employees. On that basis although the account may be linked to a particular employee, no one employee could be singled out because multiple people would be relying on the same base IP potentially I would have thought?
Yep. That's the most important number, in part because it appears to be flipped.
Instead of checking wikipedia for a general definition of idempotency, check the RFC for the definition that applies to HTTP

from error or expiration issues) the side-effects of N > 0 identical
requests is the same as for a single request.

Wow, were you part of a consulting firm? did they find you the placements?
I didn't mean to validate that there was a causal connection, I was just agreeing with the general claim that yes, indeed, dense places (cities)... whether in terms of supply or demand are generally more expensive than other places.

Knowing why is important, though, and the law of rent explains the mechanics.

I'm in agreement with the idea that more building should occur. I'm just cautioning that even if someone destroyed every housing regulation in existence, or even if lots of public housing were built, we shouldn't be surprised if rents remain super high.

In the technology space we're used to seeing costs plummet from year to year. A land title system, by contrast, will predictably see increasing prices over time, while simultaneously extracting a flow of rent.
Wouldn't a decent portion of the land value tax just be passed on to renters in the form of higher rent charged by their landlord?

To me, this is one of the greatest shortcomings of video chat. We went from a universal phone system to a mostly universal SMS system (most private networks still supported SMS) to a segregated video chat system, and it hurts relationships if you're not careful.

I've been taking Financial Markets course by Robert Shiller and he continuously makes the point when talking about inventions and new ideas that "it's crazy to me that this didn't exist before". It's usually the sign of a really good invention when you have that thought. And that's the thought I'm having looking at this combining the codec and transport protocol together: "Why hasn't this been done before?" == "This is awesome!"

If anyone is interested in a more in depth and humorous take on puns, I remember enjoying "The Pun Also Rises" by John Pollack - a book I randomly picked up a few years back from a Barnes and Nobles.

He explored some of the history of puns and general wordplay, why English is particularly suited for puns (unlike e.g. Romanian as someone else mentioned in this thread), how puns fit into modern and past culture (both the positive and negative bits), as well as some personal anecdotes.

It's a pretty quick and light read, and if you're the type of person that would actually enjoy reading a whole 150+ pages of book about puns, I'd definitely recommend it.

Thank you! I use 'git add -p' all the time, but didn't know the trick with commit. I am a sucker for nice commits so I will check every commit's diff multiple times. When I don't, I usually end up including pieces of code which is not ready yet, which is meant for debugging,...
But not the reverse. If you are side effect free you must be idempotent.
Oh yeah, I am under no illusion about WeChat’s privacy. It’s insanely integrated into everyday life in China though - it almost feels as if people don’t care whether they use iOS or Android there, because they use WeChat apps for everything (banking, utilities, taxi, games, payments for everything, etc) rather than native apps.
Hmm, that may be what it's meant for, but pretty sure it can currently be used to block things retroactively too. IA may still have it in the archive, but won't let viewers view it.

As happened in this case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16919017

No? The article you linked says they've stopped paying attention to robots.txt for US government and military sites, but it looks like it still retroactively removes visibility for everything else.

I guess IA could change their practices. If medium or people like them start actively using robots.txt to try to retroactively remove things from visibility in the archive, perhaps IA will change their practices/policy. I would welcome it.
