I'd consider that too low a salary premium to justify Bay Area rent. There's an aspect of "because people are willing to put up with it" to "why are prices so high in some areas."
Isn't that kind of the point of the original comment? That cost of living rises by location in almost perfect parallel to wages? So even though they make a relative lot of money, their standard of living doesn't actually increase much.

We scraped YouTube captions to provide better search and data about YouTube videos we were aggregating. We used mitmproxy and headless browsers to steal the captions automatically for new channels and videos we used. For a long time, direct quotes were searchable in our main search area to bring up specific videos.
Look at something like Pathfinder instead. The ordering of folders makes more logical sense to me. There's more flexibility in navigating to frequently used locations. There are more options in the menu. Etc.

There's nothing really bad about Finder. It's just sort of meh for a tool that one uses all the time.

ONLY PART TIME CONSULTING

DevOps Architect, Senior Technical Operations Engineer, Manager/Mentor/Leader. Expert in scaling, datacenter migrations, CI/CD process and pipelines, migration to (and from!) cloud. I'm a software architect and developer grown into the Ops role, I know how the software works at scale.

I'm most useful and worth my money on two types of assignments:
1. Cloud migrations: between clouds (like AWS to Azure, or Heroku to AWS), to clouds (like from the datacenter to AWS), and from clouds (like when you lost your sleep over the AWS bill and consider creating your so-called "private cloud").
2. Software architecture and engineering: either prepare to scale or to go into production with availability, continuity, right processes, security and so on. I can look at your prototype or early production architecture and help avoid costly mistakes.

I'm also very good at hiring engineers and I can help you interview and select right people for the job. I've worked for and built excellent teams in companies of all sizes, from hundreds of thousand people to series-A startups. I also worked a lot in outsourcing and can help select and manage an outsourced team.

Some random thoughts of mine, so that you know what to expect:

...pensions create a long term liability in a way that putting cash in employee 401k doesn’t.

Assuming we don’t want to live in a society in which vast numbers of elderly live in penury this isn’t true. It’s well known that when retirement savings are the responsibility of the emoloyee then they don’t save enough.

What you say about bad governance is certainly true and incompetent or badly incentivized leadership will exacerbate problems. I don’t know what the solution is for the U.S. but the current system is going to make us end up with a society with large numbers of destitute elderly. Shifting the onus to the employee via 401Ks is just kicking the can down the road so to speak. It also allows politicians and voters off the hook because the liabilities aren’t on the books. On paper it looks good but the reckoning will occur.

Real world example.

We just bought a house about two years ago. Say a younger couple living in our same area of town was renting. Our housing cost may have gone up 5% because of insurance and taxes, but the couple renting would have seen rent go up by 30% during the same period.

Not trying to be cocky, but why is affordable housing a right in a capitalist society? Genuinely curious.
Because a collection of homes and buildings isn't a town. You need the buildings to be occupied by employers offering jobs and relevant services and you need the people in the homes to have those jobs. That's not something you can kickstarter.
This will make a lot of people severely airsick. I'm a pilot with an iron stomach, but one sure-fire way to make me queasy is to hide visual cues from the natural horizon during maneuvering (i.e. during takeoff and landing).

You don't have to have a window seat to benefit from real windows -- even a very slight peripheral view of nearby windows, or a view of shadows cast on the inside of the cabin are enough to make you feel better.

That blog post is about Google’s employees publishing papers on work google owns, the same sort of work that google is attempting to secure patents on. This is very different from supporting independent academic research.

Business cycles have been around longer than the FED and in countries where it doesn't operate. Hence it probably didn't create them all. The FED tries to moderate the cycles I guess.
Honestly I wasn't trying to start any sort of debate either, I just didn't know that was really something people have to be aware of.

That's very sad. I feel bad not knowing that's the way things are now.
While false, that opinion is not provably false until you run an experiment where opportunity is more equally distributed.
This thread confuses and saddens me. What is with the absolutist compulsion that every API and framework has to be cross-platform? Cross-platform APIs and frameworks must, by necessity, paper over differences, exclude the possibility of leveraging a particular platform's strengths, and target the lowest (i.e., worst) common denominator. Sometimes that's a good tradeoff! But all the time? To the point where we have to attack OS vendors for having the nerve to, oh gosh, add a feature?

Taken to the extreme, this makes no sense. What's the point of even having different operating systems if there's only one acceptable API? Do you guys think operating systems can never be allowed to introduce a feature and corresponding API call?
Of course there is, but my point is I could not do this without an expectation of penury.

>watching interesting things like cities.

Not only cities, watching natural formations like lakes, rivers, fields, forests, hills and mountains from above is a unique perspective (compared to seeing the same from land), and very cool too. I remember being glued to the window, for tens of minutes (at least), on a flight from Europe to the US, when passing over the Arctic (or near it, not sure, but northern seas anyway), seeing vast expanses of ice floes and blue-green water glittering in the sunshine from high above. Then passing over Goose Bay as we crossed over Canada into the US, that was great too. Miles of green meadows or grassland.

But remember that they can only do that kind of research because they upload, eternally store and data-mine the original text that users delete before ever hitting send. Many people find that unexpected, unethical or outright creepy.
> There they found “cocaine, computers, mobile phones, a diamond ring, $70,000 cash and $350,000 worth of cryptocurrency“.

Yet the headline and article largely ignore the other stuff found in the guy’s home and for some reason focus on the cryptocurrency. I guess it draws more eyeballs than “cops find a bunch of valuable stuff in drug raid.”
> Tl;dr, they didn't keep relevant records, didn't have any idea about the law, and are still scrambling to be compliant.

I find it fascinating that the implication is the global company has to be aware of and compliant with any city law that any tiny city council (I am not saying Seattle is tiny, but if Seattle can do it, why Rusty Sticks, Flyover State can't?) passed 40 years ago. I seriously wonder how one can do business in such environment? I guess for a Facebook it's just breadcrumbs and they could hire whatever lawyers needed to fend it off and pay whatever fines they might be assigned without even flinching - but imagine you are just a startup and you have to comply with the same web of laws?

It also varies according to the particular police department, the particular officer(s) involved, and whether they got up on the wrong side of the bed that day. Generally it's not worth the risk and it's recommended not to call police for "wellness checks".

You can’t build wealth on $90K in Monaco either, but that says something about Monaco, not about “capitalism”.
Surely you would still accept credentials, right? Like, I would expect a PhD, etc. Nobel in economics certainly isn't without meaning in that regard.
>The goal with regulations like these isn't to make things "cheaper," but to control negative externalities.

Seeing as the proponents -- of regulations regarding who can trade what with whom -- first cited issue is "Affordability", categorically, yes, these regulations are about making things "cheaper".

>The government is great place to balance competing interests, especially if it's more democratic.

How successful has the US government been at balancing trillion dollar bailouts for the banking/political class and endless wars of murder? Building a system where the minutia of liberty can be taken away with a stroke of a pen unless millions of dollars are spent lobbying the political class is not what I'd call a "great place to balance competing interests".

When you visit the page via ipfs.io you are viewing it via the ipfs.io gateway. The ipfs.io gateway has complete power to censor content, serve malicious content, etc.

You lose most of the benefits of IPFS if you browse via a gateway controlled by somebody else.

You don't find peers through a gateway. A gateway is literally just an IPFS<->HTTP gateway. The gateway does all the IPFS stuff and just serves content to you over normal HTTP.

Somebody needs to reverse engineer the video.
All of us have to strike the right balance between stubbornly believing that NNs will solve all problems in NLP -which, imho, underestimates what linguistics can do for this field of study- and stubbornly saying that only linguistic knowledge will lead to an improvement of the results -which, imho, means underestimating the outstanding work on deep learning techniques done so far. As you said, creating high-quality input is likely to be costly -and I'm not talking about syntax tree creation tooling only here. But, isn't it worth the while? I believe it is.
The expectation for chatbots to completely solve and answer user questions and take over support is as flawed as the expectation that self-driving technologies in cars allow people to watch Youtube videos and not pay attention to the road or have a hand on the wheel.

The successful bots are ones that don't attempt to understand and respond to every single question perfectly, but instead act as a supplemental tool / guide and offering concrete decision points and actions for the user to take. For example, instead of asking "How can we reach you?" and letting the user enter free text and figuring out if the user entered a phone number or email or some random text that just short circuits the bot, show two buttons "Via email", "Via phone" and clicking each one would then ask for an email, or phone number.

The successful bots also know when to failover to a human being and failing over fast. I've hardly ever had a good experience dealing with sites that employ chat bots and it's not great to be frustrated by a bot when I'm already an angry customer who hasn't received my order.
This is a very regional US centric view of policing.
You are making a statement about statistics that isn't correct. Statistics is collecting and analyzing numerical data, which is what this article does. That is a truth, regardless of it being a different sort of analysis than what you believe to be the only model of statistics.

That is also orthogonal to what I wrote, which you seemed to intentionally misunderstand in order for you to argue.

In Norwegian, there is no word "software engineer" because an engineer title requires an engineering degree. There is a "computer engineer" degree, but it focuses primarily on computer hardware engineering. There is also the field of "informatics", but that's basically equivalent to theoretical computer science and is thus a branch of mathematics, not engineering. Programming is taught in universities, of course, but is considered more of a practical skill than an academic discipline in of itself. I think this applies to much of Europe. Thus, in Europe, you're a programmer or a developer, but never a software engineer, which is more of an Americanism.

I think you are confusing academic research and corporate research. Google has a huge stable of corporate researchers who publish papers in academic journals. Microsoft funds actual academic research.

And yes, my inclusion of Apple in that list was fully aware Apple doesn’t do significant funding of academic research. That’s the point.
It’s sort of the divide and conquer strategy. Pit groups against each other whilst the looting occurs. While people fight over who is the true snowflake and that kind of stuff all sorts of shitty policies get enacted. Things didn’t just suddenly get unbearable because <person of opposite party> just got elected. If one thinks this then the problem was already there and one's lack of awareness of it is the real problem.
It's absolutely not like that everywhere, or for everyone, but for many it's a real problem, and it's not one that has an easy solution.

And I'm kind of upset that your comment is getting downvoted so much, as it's a very valid question.

Growing up I was taught to trust the police, that if something was wrong to go to them and they will help, that they were safe and would protect me. But at this point in my life I'm honestly not sure if I would teach the same to my children. And that thought terrifies me because I honestly can't think of a scenario where these kinds of feelings end well for society in general.
I'll keep this comment bookmarked...
Exactly as you say. I'm not into apple products from the development perspective at this moment in time. But I did watch the video. My first thought was: I like it a lot, can I have it in every language.

The framework looks really good. They mention at the end of the video that some of the things might not be very well polished but I'm sure it's all going to get there in the end.

Can I still complain that the 68000 should have won?
Googling I've found for example this:

“GNU extensions to standard C++ (and to C90) do explicitly allow type-punning with unions. Other compilers that don't support GNU extensions may also support union type-punning, but it's not part of the base language standard.”

Also, apparently in C99 one relevant statement was:

“The value of a union member other than the last one stored into [is unspecified]”

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25664848/unions-and-type...

Note: In case it's not obvious, I, personally, believe that, at least, using unions for type-punning has to exist and should be explicitly supported in the standards too. And that the compiler contributors should not produce practically unusable results even when some standard is wrong (for common use) or unclear. But the quotes like the above give a hint on which basis some try to cling to bad approaches in this special case. In other cases it's probably even harder to avoid unwanted results.
I've previously lived in Tokyo over a year (many shorter trips) mainly in AirBnBs. Which agencies would you recommend?
One of the interesting disconnects I see between layperson understanding of patents and legal understanding of patents is how one person's "broad and obvious" is another person's "novel and innovative," and the system does its best to handle that but the tension is forever there.

It's illustrative to remember that Thomas Jefferson himself was sued for using a patented Archimedes Screw design on his property, that he was extremely certain he could have fought in court and overturned since the 'novel' technology in question was known to the Greeks... and he paid the patent-holder anyway because he wanted to encourage patent adoption and use. The system has forever had this tension baked in, and we just muddle through generation after generation.

Yes, I already said the background estimation can be wrong. We can check it by defining validation regions outside the signal region and making sure it correctly describes the data there (where there is no signal) and assign a conservative systematic uncertainty to cover any differences, but yes it can be wrong. This is a background estimation problem though, not a flaw with hypothesis testing. By the way, the signal region data and background data are collected simultaneously, so there can be no systematic difference in experiment conditions between the two.

As for the SM, we are looking for those places where it is incomplete, and to do this we must assume it is complete and look for strong evidence that we are wrong. To date, it doesn't seem like we see though, as far as collider physics is concerned.
I don’t know about anything but Germany, but here you’d have to sue the owner yourself. Enjoy. Well now, since AirBnB is illegal in Berlin he might actually get fined.

> “The essence of this strategy is to take tax policy out of the hands of experts and entrust it to activists. These campaigns do not usually have much credibility with card-carrying economists. ”

When it comes to economics and religion, the "experts" and activists tend to be one and the same and neither seems to be credible.

One of our the "greatest experts" predicted eternal collapse of the markets after trump's election

"If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never."

and an endless global recession.

"So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight."

> This lag between economic policy and outcomes is a big reason the US has such a disingenuous public debate.

Economic policy doesn't cause recessions. The business cycle and the FED raising and lowering interests cause recessions. No matter the economic policies, there will always be a recession. I believe it was jamie dimon who said we usually get one every 8 to 10 years.
90K is comfortably above the median per capita income literally anywhere in the Bay Area:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_California_locations_b...

I'm not saying 90K is a lot, but it is complete hyperbole to say it isn't sufficient to live in the Bay. 90K is right up there with the highest median household incomes.
The median wage is $37K (https://dqydj.com/united-states-income-brackets-percentiles/). That means you are making about $110K as a single person you can’t live off of that?
