Oh come on, people in France are upset because [1], and especially given his election platform that's more than understandable imho.

I mean, given who Macron was this was entirely predictable, but many people believed he'd changed. For what reason ... I cannot fathom. But then again, Australia did essentially the same: an ex-Goldman Sachs vice president (with half his immediate family still GS VPs) will change the country to be more fair ! Oh wait ... he didn't. Quite the opposite in fact. Cue complete and total amazement.

But the deposit is a massive issue. If you put that deposit into stocks and shares (a diversified portfolio) you could (will probably) find that outperform the cost of your mortgage and maintenance together. If they could get rid of the deposit you might break even with a stocks and shares investment plan.

> In a free market, rent will always be higher than cost of a property. If it were less, the property is an unprofitable investment and should be divested.

perhaps this might be true asymptotically in a sufficiently-qualified rational, efficient, spherical, theoretical market. also, a market where tax laws don't give preferential treatment to renting or buying.

i'm currently renting in one of australia's major cities, the gross rental yield of this place would be something like 3% before subtracting costs (council rates, maintenance, interest, property management fees, insurance).

Sounds like a nightmare, this is basically the type system of vanilla verilog: Everything is just a bitvector of a certain length, each bit can have four states X,Z,0,1, so that it allows you to assign to a 32bit vector a 16bit vector resulting in the upper 16bit to be undefined. System verilog added structs, but if you declare them packed they allow unstructured assignment. Overall it is a complete nightmare given the fact that at the end you will tape out a chip that might cost >1 million to produce.

Perhaps, but that’s irrelevant in this case; there was no tremor. The alert was falsely set off by people’s phone apps.
That's only true if you're looking at the overall cost vs. investment profile, but I'm not entirely sure that's the point.

Renting out a property that you own can still be a long-term beneficial investment so long as the rental costs exceed the costs of borrowing on a mortgage – and that's typically much, much lower than the value of the actual mortgage payments being made. Capital growth potential is a valid reason that people may choose to invest in property, and in a market where there are many rental properties to choose from it's quite possible that rents remain below the prevailing capital repayment + interest that a mortgage would require.

But really it's hard to understand exactly what the point being made in this article is – it seems to be primarily that the "total amount" of rent being paid is now approaching parity with the "total amount" of payments being made by homeowners. I can't tell if that includes capital repayments, or if it's even accounting for an increase in renters vs. homeowners. There's basically no useful information there.

Economic "laws" aren't ironclad; people are free to make all kinds of poor decisions, and they do. This is the foundation of the parable of the economist walking down the street and refusing to pick up the $20 bill, because if it were real, someone already would have.

Red-green was in the context of mixing colors, not color-blindness here. If you e.g. mix oil/tempera colors, red and green give you a really ugly grey color; on the edges between red and green patches you'd get something similar.

I have the opposite issue - my color perception is 100%, so I can distinguish very slight differences in color tones. What might look acceptable to you might be unacceptable to me and vice versa ;-)
There are known solutions to this problem: you can type-erase to a single supertype (e.g. Error/NSError[0]) or convert from the third-party's type to a first-party type[1] for instance.

> Can you still solve it in O(N) time and O(1) space if when your code returns the answer the input must be unchanged?

I don't think that is possible in general. In some cases, such as your "small integers only" case, the program can get extra working memory by essentially compressing the input, doing some work in the freed-up memory, and uncompressing; but if the input memory is already used optimally, there should proveably be no way to store the input plus additional data in those bits.

(Obviously, you can e.g. store one bit of the input in the program counter by splitting the entire program on an initial "if (first_bit) ..."; but that's just moving information around without gaining additional storage.)

FWIW, mutating the input array is a neat trick, but I wouldn't be inclined to accept such a solution, either.

> I noticed that other employees had Eclipse opened at all times so I downloaded it and started learning Java - after all my position was "JAVA intern".

I've had several trainees through my team in the last year or so, for 3-6 months each. If they come to me with a problem I'll move heaven and earth to help, they get invited to various meetings, introduced to various customers, but otherwise I'll give them freedom. If they use that freedom to proactively find a problem and try to fix it, or badger us to help until we give them a small problem that they then come up with an attempt at a solution, they get a job

If they sit there playing Galaga, it's their loss.

I'm not interested in their hard skills, I don't care if you're a whizz at python or perl or go or whatever - those can be learned. I care about your work ethic, your ability to understand what the customers need, and your ability to solve those problems.

> Completely playing devil's advocate here, but why should the companies feel entitled to money? If someone is going to go out of their way to pirate something, they're not spending money on it any anyway. So the company is spending their own money and time coming up with ways to prevent people from accessing their content which the other person wouldn't have paid for in the first place, then using that to show how much money they've lost

That analysis maybe works in the context of an individual piece of content from a single company, but it is a lot more shaky when applied to multiple pieces of content from multiple companies.

For instance, suppose someone wants to watch a movie tonight. Their first choice is not yet available on any streaming platform they subscribe to, nor is it available on any of the rental platforms they have reasonable access to. It's only available for purchase at $25.

If they cannot pirate it they aren't likely to cancel their movie night. They are likely to move on to their second or third choice that is available on one of their streaming services or is rentable.

If they pirate their first choice, then the company that provides that movie loses nothing because, as you note, they were not going to get the money anyway. The company providing their second choice however does lose out on the sale they would have made if there was no piracy.

(Well, actually, the company that makes their first choice loses nothing that night. If they could not have pirated it, they probably would not have given up on watching it. They would more likely have postponed it to a later movie night after it does become available for rental or streaming).

The article isn't talking about disparity between rents and mortgages.

It's saying the total amount being paid in rent is approaching the total amount paid in mortgage payments. I'm not sure what that proves other than far more people are renting than previously.

This needn't even be a problem, inherently. It's just that renting is often a miserable experience in the UK, and people are having to spend far too much of their income on it, which is setting us up for all sorts of societal problems in the future.
> None of those companies were broadly breaking any rules to the point of fundamental ambiguity wherein 'we all waited to see what was going to happen'. I see your point about Pinterest but it wasn't really an existential issue, really.

I agree the symbolic elements are important, but it often seems (from my distant perspective) like fairly blunt symbolism. Americans brandish muskets, and challenge the government to come get them. The French start building barricades.

IDK how to do partial indexes with the Django ORM? A simple filter(bool, rows) could probably significantly shrink the indexes for such a wide table.

Arrays are fast if the features/dimensions are known at compile time (if the TBox/schema is static). There's probably an intersection between object reference overhead and array copy costs.

Arrow (with e.g. parquet on disk) can help minimize data serialization/deserialization costs and maximize copy-free data interoperability (with columnar arrays that may have different performance characteristics for whole-scene transformation operations than regular arrays).

Many implementations of SQL ALTER TABLE don't have to create a full copy in order to add a column, but do require a permission that probably shouldn't be GRANTed to the application user and so online schema changes are scheduled downtime operations.

If you're not discovering new features at runtime and your access pattern is generally linear, arrays probably are the fastest data structure.

Hacker News also has a type attribute that you might say is used polymorphically: https://github.com/HackerNews/API/blob/master/README.md#item...

Types in RDF are additive: a thing may have zero or more rdf:type property instances. RDF quads can be stored in one SQL table like:

_id,g,s,p,o,xsd:datatype,xml:lang

... with a few compound indexes that are combinations of (s,p,o) so that triple pattern graph queries like (?s,?p,1) are fast. Partial indexes (SQLite, PostgreSQL,) would be faster than full-table indexes for RDF in SQL, too.

Can confirm this does happen more often than not, especially in very big companies.

As of now, my team of 5 + a manager is basically doing nothing (mainly because the manager is an asshat and I think higher ups have given up on him but cannot fire him for some legal reason).
A big bunch of budget was devoted to this team, but when the expected ROI doesn't pan out higher ups just give up on the team and would rather force you to resign rather than fire you - at least in my country, getting fired also means getting a nice compensation, and I think they want to force us into boredom and resigning just to not pay us even more when leaving.

media emasculates/villifies minority men while fetishizing minority women.

Black men face issues of fetishization and hyper masculine caricatures, while black women are villified and systemically unwanted by other races, intermarrying at lower rates of any other group save Asian men. It is quite literally the opposite of what you’ve stated.

Hispanic men and women don’t have any significant differences in intermarriage, and at that have the highest rates of intermarriage (because >50% are white probably).

The latter is more of a root cause than (also, of) the former, which is nonetheless a large contributor.

The latter - measuring growth/success of an economy by redundant items bought, is a direct consequence of applying the same principle for individuals. This phenomenon, at the micro level, could, with the appropriate disclaimers, be considered the root cause for the general maladies you point out.

Do you believe individuals could be trained/convinced/taught to not measure their success in those terms?

If yes, would they still get to measure their successes? If so, in terms of what? What would you consider a better universal metric for personal success?
