Have ‘up to 270 women died’ by missing a breast screening appointment letter?
India, Canada, the UK, and other English-speaking countries are in Amazon's review process. Should be working in another day or two.
We broke the time up into mornings and afternoons. Most mornings and afternoons were "no meetings" time. If there was a meeting scheduled in a morning or afternoon, then that became the prioritized time to schedule any other meetings that came up. Worked great.

Most people aren't willing to skip meetings, or walk out of meetings when they realize the meeting is unproductive. Both are productive behaviors.
And which other companies use(d) it, so then we know whom to trust (i.e. those who came forward after finding it).
We used 3-D Negotiation (https://amzn.to/2Kyvzxx) at my negotiation class at Harvard. What I liked is that it goes through what you should do before sitting to negotiate. In particular, deal design and the setup of the negotiation.

I have also heard great thing about Never Split the Difference (https://amzn.to/2KwiK6K).
BTW, chickenfries, I'm sorry that your post (GP of this one) got flagged to death. I clicked its "vouch" link. I hope that helps bring it back.

Maybe I'm just way overestimating how complex RAR archives are (I admit, I have not looked into this), but I think you're out of your mind if you think that someone could write a parser to analyze RAR archives in a day. That it would be better tested, debugged, and more secure than a tool that has probably seen more widespread use than any single AV.
Dogs understand spoken words. A few dogs figure out they can speak, too.

I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel who both recognized and used "Mom". (She recognized other words, too.)
People are forced to avoid tax on their profits? Oh the humanity!
The doctor sent me there. Gave me a slip of paper and said “give this to the ER desk to get a scan”.

So I did what he said.
This is a pernicious stereotype and mostly wrong. Have you ever actually talked to a NIMBY? The most committed NIMBYs have lived in the same place for decades and have no plans to sell. They don't care much about property values.

What they do care about are traffic, parking, noise, school overcrowding, and other quality of life issues. Some people simply don't like living in densely populated areas. If you want to win over the NIMBYs then you have to address their concerns rather than just demonizing them as greedy property owners.
I cannot thank you guys enough.

I use Stripe for my small business and it has been nothing short of incredible.

Now to hear that you're jumping into this housing crisis is absolutely amazing. It gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, if more big players get behind this movement, some REAL CHANGE might happen in California.

You guys didn't have to do this, but you're doing it because it's the right thing to do and that is awsome.

So I just want to extend a sincere thank you.
Maybe not as much... however the rules can vary dramatically person to person. I discovered I was actually allergic to legumes early last year (just dropping them made me feel so much better), I knew I was sensitive to wheat/grains already... so now I'm mostly paleo/keto because it's easier.
Great. Do Macs let you login with these? Let me google that.
This smells like an attempt by Twitter to get as many users as possible to log in to Twitter so they can report XXXX% increase in monthly active users. With the added bonus of perhaps converting some who gave up on Twitter back into actual active users going forward.

Good. Long may it remain so.
Opening 50 boxes at random gives you a 50% chance to hit the right box. But everybody else also has a 50% chance that’s independent from yours, so you just multiply the probabilities together to figure out the overall probability. This makes it vanishingly unlikely to get it right with a lot of people.

This strategy instead has you all collectively betting that the structure of the permutation is favourable, which doesn’t have that multiplicative problem.
You started off saying one thing:
>You seem to be assuming that, by building more units and increasing density, normal supply/demand forces will normalize the housing market.

And then proceeded to say a bunch of stuff that makes me think you don't believe this assumption.

Think through your own example. Even if landlords collude, "still charging $3-4k a month rent", and more units open up, eventually some of those units will not be rented. Dormant units do not generate revenue, regardless of the asking price. If even more units are added, more landlords will continue to collect $0 on their dormant units.

Landlords then have two options: continue to ask for $X dollars and get $0 or ask for $X-Y dollars and get $X-Y dollars. If $(X-Y) > $0, the law of large numbers, empirical studies, and common sense dictate that landlords will choose option B.

Prices could stay high, however, if more people move to the area, increasing demand to match supply.
That depends on the definition of the word "blame" that you're using. If it's a moral castigation? No, of course not; they are being ground down by the shitty circumstances that entrap most of us and of course it's hard to hold as a moral failing the maximization of what little they have (and while it is a lot to people below them, yeah, it's little in the grand scheme of things).

But if it is an identification of a problem? I think it is fair. The amount of misery that NIMBYs can spread through forced inaction significantly outweighs the amount received in the case of action, I think.
A good example of a "correct" way to do this is whatsapp. It signal when 1)it send 2)it get accepted 3)it get read

Tinfoil in me says this is exactly the point - to bring people like you back for a second chance.
This particular solution may not be solving the problem I need, but I'd love to see a really good version of PDF.js running in electron for existing electron apps.

Use case: You're building an electron app. It needs to view pdfs. Right now, you need to implement pdf.js yourself. It's non trivial. And the more full-featured you want it, the harder it is.

And that's only half the issue. What if you want a cross-platform way to create a thumbnail of a pdf? Ugg, don't let me get started on ghostscript...
Not smaller, just different areas. It's fairly easy to achieve that in the Midwest and larger urban areas in the southeast. I typically got ~0.8%/mo or more.

I'd go so far as to say that if single family residential is your strategy it's better to take the multi-million dollar investment in a single home in the Bay and make one in 5-7 (or more) homes elsewhere. The appreciation is drastically lower but the cap rates are amazing (much higher cash flow) and the risk is spread out. Of course, with that kind of investment it's better to go multi-family or commercial anyway.
Security Keys are often used as a second factor, but the original vision was that they could also be a primary factor in lieu of a password. Humans are bad at passwords, but they carry around house keys every day. Why not also carry around computer keys on their keychain?

For the average person (not worried about a megacorp or nation state attacking them), TouchID is also a possible "password replacement" for the primary authentication factor, although it comes with the disadvantage of not being rotatable.
1. If you don't know anybody around town, maybe get a job to meet some people? Not anything fancy, just a summer job. If they are all full, it might be worth thinking more about going home, and you might have better luck working there.

2. Maybe start with this one? http://calnewport.com/books/how-to-win-at-college/

3. There's only one person who can figure this out. This is part of the reason I suggest an unrelated job. Sometimes finding out what we don't want to do can be just as useful.

4. Is there some sort of more general advisor for the university that might help you?
thank you for the encouraging words.
In this day and age, it is beyond my comprehension why anyone would choose waste a major part of their day in long commutes, pay extortionate amounts to rent and be bound to a single location. Most coders are way more productive away from the usual hassle of office space and politics.
A couple of steps you can take to reduce the chances of accidentally putting sensitive information in a log.

1. Make a list of all sensitive information that the test users in your test environment will be giving to your application.

As part of your test procedure, search all logs for that information. This can be as simple as having a text file with all the sensitive information, and doing a 'grep -F -f sensitive.txt' on all your log files.

2. If you are working in some sort of object oriented language, make separate classes for sensitive data, such as a class Password to hold passwords, a class CardNum to hold credit card numbers, and so on.

Make the method that whatever you use for logging uses to convert objects to strings return a placeholder string for these objects, such as "Password", "Credit Card Number", and so on.

From the password compromise side, not really, you're just pushing the cost of hashing to your users (and it will impact mobile users more). There's a similar technique on needing proof-of-work on the client to combat DDoS.

From the authorization side, there is a threat, because if your table storing hashes is compromised, attackers just have to supply the stored hash to the auth endpoint and they get to login as anyone.

A combination of hashing on the client side (or immediately once the pw hits the endpoint) with something cheaper followed by a more intense bcrypt/scrypt afterwards might help a bit with the tradeoffs.
I honestly don't know. I can see arguments in both directions, maybe more building makes everything more affordable and my property becomes worth "less" or maybe it results in nothing but expensive condos and my fancy neighborhood just gets fancier. I'm in the incredibly lucky and privileged position to not have to care that much about my personal home's property value. I spend a lot of money to live where I live. If I was interested in choosing where I live in order to maximize my wealth I'd move to a state with no income tax. Instead I choose to live in a place I love (both the Bay Area regionally and Oakland locally) and want that place to be as great as it can be. I think more people makes this place better. I want kids for my kids to play with on our block. I want empty storefronts to be full of new restaurants. I'd like my neighborhood and the Bay Area to get more affordable so my friends don't have to move away when they have families and are hoping to upgrade from a one bedroom apartment. I'd take a sizable hit on my property value to make that happen.
>Well, nothing ever left Twitter's servers.

Nothing is known to have ever left Twitter's servers.

FTFY.
You could hash it twice, once at the client and once at the server. So your database would store a hash of a hash.

But without persistence on the client side you wouldn’t be able to do salting in the first hash (where do you store the salt?)
I don't think anyone's come up with a great substitute for the decades of organic growth and iteration necessary to make a compelling city. Setting aside a deliberate corporate sponsor, how many compelling new cities really started in the last 30-40 years, even by accident? E.g. below 25K population at the start, over 250K at the end.

E.g. I looked through this list, and at least at quick glance it seems like they were all fairly major cities 100 years ago.

They used to do something similar to this, but then co-opted all the popular sites and shut down the rest. They had a parenting one that was pretty successful - probably because Jon Skeet was prolific on that one as well.

>The "we didn't have to" is a little jarring given the scale of this.

How come? I interpreted it to mean that no regulations required this, but they chose to anyway. Which is true.
I also love Pocket Casts, particularly with the "skip pauses" feature. Often podcasts are full of short pauses... to date, I have saved 9 hours of time with the feature enabled!
Plus with respect to Google there's this:
https://www.curbed.com/2017/12/5/16738120/google-san-jose-ca...

Google’s plans may turn Diridon Station—an expanding transit hub with a high-speed rail stop in the works—into the Grand Central of the west. The move could catalyze an even more urbanized San Jose, and signal that density transit-oriented development is part of the Valley’s future.

The developing urban core of the largest city in Silicon Valley, a region stuck in a mostly suburban mindset, adjacent to what will be the confluence of seven different rail and bus lines.
If that's the case then it would be disastrous to abandon the YIMBY label and try a new one, because it capitulates to the false accusations, and completely tarnishes all of the ideas of the movement.

No, the only counter is to further show the true YIMBY values through policy proposals, discussions, and political legislation.

For example, the core YIMBY success so far is SB-35, "Planning and zoning: affordable housing: streamlined approval process."

The same people that last year were complaining that YIMBYs are anti-affordable housing have now finally stopped saying that and have moved on to other misrepresentations of YIMBY. And in fact, they often now support SB 35, particularly as a way to prevent actions like SB 827. In the future, they will come to like SB 827, or at least some will.

There's a ton of reactionary conservatism in nearly all political movements in California, even the leftist ones, because there's lots of older folks that run them and can't countenance a shift in the political landscape, particularly the emergence of a new political force.

There will be lots of rhetoric, but that won't stop the change. So much in politics seems impossible until its done. Gay marriage in California was a similar through the looking glass experience.

Housing will come around too. The more people say "that's impossible," the more optimistic I am that they will be proven wrong. Because that's just an admission that they hadn't really considered the possibility, the idea was just outside the realm of feasibility and thought. Eventually, the slow reactionary mind becomes comfortable with it, and reason breaks through.

It will take several years, several years that we shouldn't have to waste, but there will be more housing in California.
Sometimes we forget the lower order values when considering algorithmic complexity. Not every use case is likely to see the asymptotic behaviors.

Reminds me of a demo by my algorithms professor. A certain sorting method (I think binary) requires picking a good pivot to keep complexity down. Picking a random pivot point generally gives good results, but results in an O(n^2) algorithm when asymptotically examined. An algorithm for "perfect" point picking (mean of means I believe) was demonstrated. It resulted in a complexity of O(n) (linear). However, the scale to the linear term was 22. Therefore, in nearly every case, picking randomly would outperform it.

I did not realize Karatsuba required such large numbers to outperform. When I first learned about it, I was under the impression that it would be more effective even for barely "large" numbers
The open public market means that the market decides who can purchase the stock, and that it's not the sellers place to decide who _should_ purchase the stock.

my thoughts exactly, wondering what they are all using.
Netmap is easier, but when everyone other than you is on DPDK that's kind of a hint that you're painting yourself into a corner.
As part of some research into online anonymity, I took a detour into the legal history of naming. In the common law (Anglosphere) tradition, the history of "legal names" is much shorter than one would expect. It's a longstanding principle that individuals have the right to be recognized under the name of their choosing. (This right is given explicit lip service in many states' laws and court rulings, but actually exercising it is in many cases a practical impossibility.) The general conclusion I took away is that the regulation of names is an overreach of government authority. An 'administrative identity' (which is a great name for it) is the map, not the territory, and it should be treated as such.

Another thing I found is that identities are not singular. Most people (and especially under-privileged groups) maintain multiple identities for different settings. Sometimes but not always, these identifies have different names. The idea of a single "real name" isn't well-grounded in reality, and the conflation of "real name" with "legal name" is even further afield--how you present yourself to the government is unlikely to be how you truly think of yourself.

I've spent some time wondering what a social network might look like if it was explicitly built around the idea of people managing multiple public profiles, and keeping the connection between them private. G+, for its sins, might have gotten the closest back in the day with "circles," but that was still based around how you viewed others, with a more singular view of how you let others view you. It gets complicated, though... just trying to manage visibility rules is complicated (if two of my identities are friends with two identities owned by the same person, do I want to them know to be able to discover the connection?). I guess that's what happen when you try to build formal rules around a nuanced social system.
Also, this person could help with "time tracking".
Unfortunately, the economic argument to help poor people is extremely adverse in the Bay Area. It’s easy to see why: the opportunity cost of providing housing to someone who has low marginal economic value is much higher in the Bay Area than almost anywhere else in the world. The big asterisk on YIMBYism is that it’s meant to incentivize highly-skilled laborers in roughly the 95th through 99th percentiles who are increasingly walking away from the Bay Area because their overall optionality is improving while CoL in the region is skyrocketing.

Among the biggest threats right now to Bay Area tech companies are smart people (the only kind they’re trying to hire) crunching the numbers.

So yea poor people aren’t really under consideration other than for optics purposes.It’s high salary people versus high net worth people.

Highly cynical and all around awful? Yes.
It's not just "poor non white" people who are struggling with housing. It's becoming so frustrating to see the conversation constantly re-centered on this group.

There are plenty of YOUNG people (yes, including white people, successful people) who are struggling with housing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a push to fix housing for middle class workers. The conversation does not always, all the time, need to be about poor non-white people. Yes, they need help too, and YES we should work on solutions that benefit both groups. But constantly re-centering the conversation on the poor, means it's the middle class who consistently miss out on reform.
I didn’t say “not useful”. Clearly they’re useful. I said non-EV certs “aren’t as useful”. Which is just a fact (as evidenced by the Smart Screen “reputation boost” that EV certs get).

I already read that blog post. I’m person that linked to it in the forum post.
That would have never happened to me. Not ever!
> The glitch was related to Twitter’s use of a technology known as “hashing” that masks passwords as a user enters them by replacing them with numbers and letters, according to the blog.

Sigh. They appear to have confused hashing with asterisks.

> A bug caused the passwords to be written on an internal computer log before the hashing process was completed, the blog said.

So "related" in almost no way whatsoever, then? The state of technology reporting in the mainstream press really makes me despair sometimes.
The entire set-up (the numbers in the boxes) is a permutation. In other words, it’s a function s that maps bijectively from [0, n-1] to [0, n-1], or to put it more simply: for each i in [0, n-1] there is exactly one value j such that s(j) = i.

If you take i_0, then i_1 = s(i_0), then i_2 = s(s(i_0))... and so forth, at some point you will encounter a value you have already seen (because you can only visit n different values at most), and from that point onward you will loop. The trick is that the first value you will see twice MUST be i_0 (your starting point). If not, that is if s(i_k) = i_m where m > 0 (and i_k is the last value before you loop back) then s(i_k) = s(i_{m-1}). This means that i_k = i_{m-1} which is in contradiction with the fact that i_k is the last value before looping (i_k was already visited at step m-1)

Edit to answer TFQ: if your start with your own number as i_0, the proof above shows that at some point you will loop back to it. Then it’s a question of whether you loop back in 50 moves or less.
That is a line that historically had no one in it. There was much wringing of hands over WebGL, but "access to raw GPU memory" never came up as a concern, and is not even the issue here!

This exploit specifically only functions on UMA devices, where GPUs use unified system memory, and thus have no more or less access to it than ArrayBuffers. It turns out CPU memory accesses are too slow (really simplifying here) to rowhammer.
> There is no such thing as California "driving their own residents out".

This just isn't true? It's pretty easy to quantify in terms of net inflows or outflows. And it turns out, California is a net people exporter[0]:

> Last year, California had 142,932 more residents exit to live in other states than arrive, according to an analysis of a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau, released Wednesday, Nov. 15. This “domestic net outmigration” was the second-largest outflow in the nation behind New York and just ahead of Illinois and New Jersey. And it was up 11 percent (13,699 net departures) vs. 2015.

> California’s net outmigration has been ongoing for two-decades-plus.
