> When I talk to colleagues in various US cities and they say they drive to work it just Does. Not. Compute. In central London, driving to work is essentially unheard of unless you are the Prime Minister.

I get this as well. I hear Americans talk about driving into town for work being hard, and they're literally talking about somewhere like San Francisco, and I think why on earth would you even think that was a reasonable thing to try to do? That's obviously a stupid idea.
Yes? There were POCs the day of the announcement.
I had a similar situation to OP, abusive PM and I spent months trying to deal with it in a rational unemotional way but I failed and left Amazon, leaving a ~200k/year salary to the birds. I regret it insofar as I could have probably fought back more, lasted longer, if I had practiced stoicism and philosophies of emotional control of hostile externalities. I don't think the average "good person" can manage being a deflecting shield for bad actors and bad processes without suffering in their personal life. Would like to hear more thoughts in this thread..
In major cities, its already more convenient not to own a car, even if your stuck using mass transit.

The area where that is the case will expand enormously once a chauffeur driven limousine is cheaper than standing-room-only mass transit.

There's no way I'd drive up to San Francisco and deal with parking when I can be driven up there and dropped off for the same money. Even twice the same money would be a good deal.
I was aware of some of this but will check it out further.
This is absolutely correct. NIMBYism has adversely affected more Americans than Russia.

Since it follows that NIMBYs are more anti-American than Russia, we MUST put sanctions on their ability to affect their fellow Americans.
Wouldn't many of your thinking patterns have come from your childhood and teenage years? How did none of this come up when you did CBT? Also, how did you do CBT without serious introspection? It sounds like the therapist you did CBT with just wasn't very good.
Remember how "fake news" became a big thing under the last few things of Obama, when everybody knew Trump and even Yiannopoulos were going to have control of the organisations arbitrating fake news ?

And now, of course, we have seen the effect of this control.

But does the left now realize freedom of the press is more important than eliminating stupidity/racism ?

HELL NO !

The left, at this point, is heavily supporting and pushing up the very organisations repressing them. Point a gun at a leftist, they say HAH! Pull out a gun and then shoot themselves in the head ...
My notes are the base of my day to day. I use simple txt files synced with my phone, can't stand the lag of opening OneNote and Evernote and the bugs that always deleted my items on Wunderlist. I curate everything weekly at least, try to keep the content easy to read in 10 minutes or so for the main file (tactics and strategies is the name of this file, but I put a lot information on it, more about below). I have a lot of these txt, the main ones being tasks, tactics and strategy, accounting and a lot others for personal projects, hobbies and other subjects.

The task file is the one always opened, there are my pressing issues and there I'll note anything that later I'll pass to the other files. The most important though is the tactics/strategy one, where I write details, thoughts of my life, business strategies and general stuff that I like to read at least every week, the projects I want to do next, hobbies I want to try, advice that I like to read, and even if I have some of this etched on my mind sometimes it's a great north on a confusing day. It's great to read about this idea I had a week ago and now completely forgot about because I was focused at the current issue. Writing is also great to organize the thoughts, I had so many breakthroughs just by reading and writing on these files. It's an extension of my memory and my process.
Amtrak is very popular on certain routes, predominantly in the Northeast Corridor. And, in fact, those routes are being upgraded. But poor people certainly don't use it. They take something like Megabus. And the money Amtrak makes in the northeast covers, though not entirely, a lot of long haul routes that aren't competitive with air.
"Government meddling" is the primary reason parking is so cheap in the US. Typically the law requires a minimum amount of parking. People like myself who don't own cars tend to subsidize those who do.

I recall some sort of economic study that suggested rents would drop by hundreds of dollars per month if parking minimums could be eliminated. (No time to find it right now, sorry.) I'd take that, as right now my apartment gives me two parking spots that I can't do anything with. (A previous apartment manager complained when I used the spot for storage. Cars only, I guess. Renting to others would not be practical, either.)
Jim Crow laws, laws against “miscegenation” (interracial marriage), anti-sodomy laws that make non heterosexual sex between consenting adults illegal. All of those are examples of laws that were just struck down by the federal government within the last 50-60 years.
Using common sense, it should be the total sum of money that matters. I can't imagine the FBI not being interested in someone stealing 1 dollar from 1 billion people in separate criminal acts.
This is such a common issue in NYC that we have a business (the couch doctor) that does nothing but take apart furniture and reassemble it in place. Friend of mine used them and they were apparently really impressive (he told them what sofa he had, the dimensions of his door, and they knew right away it wouldn't be a problem)
Awesome, thank you for the recommendations!
What stands out most to me is the amount of resources put into the arrangement of a few keys. I appreciate it, and it benefits me and billions of others, but was it worth it to DEC?

Also, have Google or Apple put this much work into mobile keyboard interfaces? Mobile on-screen keyboards seem inefficient or at least not optimized, using QWERTY layouts designed for 10-finger typing. (I expect QWERTY is used because it's the legacy that users are familiar with.) I'd guess there are small third party projects that try to improve on it; I'm pretty sure I've seen some. But what matters is what Google and Apple do.
Davis says the buried structure caused the drought-stricken plants above ground to ripen at different rates, because the earth was deeper in some places than in others. This created a green-and-brown pattern in the plants that corresponded to the buried ruins.

Can someone please explain why this is the case? Is it because plants try to grow their roots deeper during droughts in order to access water that can't be obtained at the surface?

You make a good point, and I don't disagree. But it does come in handy occasionally.
> In Philadelphia, there are 3.7 times more parking spaces than households

Honestly, this number seems reasonable to me, when you consider that people could be parking at a) their home, b) their work, and c) at any number of other places (restaurant, grocery store, mall, etc). Not to mention, each household may have more than one car. It's probably too high in aggregate, but we don't park by average, we park for specific means, and if the lot at the grocery store is full, or at our work, or at home, we consider that to be an inconvenience and want more spots.

The only way to change this is to move away from the 1-2 car-per-family model we live in right now.

Why would these people be modifying config files outside of code review? That’s horrible if true, and would entirely go against most best practices (e.g. 12 Factor use of ENV vars).

If you want to provide config customizeability as part of an API or interface to third party users (and you should!) then doing it by comments in a file that users modify is insanely bad. Instead, document usage instructions for overriding defaults with ENV vars — customization should never involve mangling a config file outside of version control, and absolutely not by third party devs, system administrators, etc.

In fact, I think your response highlights exactly why relying on comments in config files is such a bad anti-pattern.
If for any two nodes there is some path by which the nodes can communicate, the network is not partitioned. That's what partitioning means.
I disagree. The article I linked suggests in NYC that Ubers are empty 1/3 of the time on weekdays. The problem of course is that no city is so mixed use that destinations are equally likely to be origins at any given time of day.

taking labor out of the equation it will become cost effective to be empty an even larger fraction of the time (presumably humans stop driving when they're not getting enough fares to be worthwhile). It may also be economical for these vehicles to never park (not only because parking costs money or might be far away, but because it increases latency) for large fractions of the day.

I just watched the "Working with Weinstein" documentary yesterday. Many of these girls rationalized the sexual favors as "well I shouldn't be a prude.. Mind over matter." Yes, working in a toxic environment is possible and negative energy can be misdirected and deflected -- but ultimately, most people cannot do this. And we reinforce the environment, allowing it to thrive when it should be exterminated. I know the comparison is not direct in extremity, but the archetype of toxicity is there..

With less and less snow hitting the Sierra early in the winter season the lakes stay snow free longer with good ice. I've seen people out skating, particularly on the drier and colder Eastern Side. I think I'll try and go skating up near Carson pass this winter, maybe hike out to Winnemucca lake if I want to carry some skates in. Should be a nice change from hiking before snowshoe/ski season starts.

No, I expect the system administrator to refer to a readme, user guide or API doc that explains how to inject custom options at the command line or through a web API, etc., and absolutely never by mutating a config file outside of version control with code review from the team that maintains that specific type of config.

I agree with you that the Senate is not moot, as far as the need for giving individual states a voice. It's power has shifted, though, from making sure that more populous states could not ride roughshod over less populous, to the opposite of that. Less populous states can now ignore more populous states (in the Senate at least) because the Senate is more directly representing the people than it is the state. In essence, 100k people in a midwestern state have the same voting power as 1mil people in a coastal state. Additionally, Senators now have to worry about campaigning directly to the people instead of the legislatures, which makes them more subject to the whims of the people rather than their expected job of representing the states. The Senate is now just another House of Representatives, except an individual Senator has extremely outsized voting power compared to the number of people who elected them.

> Then add in congestion charging @ £11.50 a day [2] and you're looking at £35-£60 a day in fees before you add in your hassle factor of the traffic and paying for fuel

Congestion charge applies only to a small part of London and all those car parks have season tickets at something like -70% discount.

If traffic and fuel costs were such a hassle, nobody would drive to work except a few maniacs, generally cars are chosen for convenience / because public transport is slower and annoying in various ways.
Well now I feel stupid, hah.

Yes ocean levels are rising... I'm just curious why the rain seems to only fall over the oceans...

Could it be that the extensive amounts of water trapped in our clouds can only condense when they're over cooler waterfilled regions?

I had never thought of that compounding effect of climate change... I am a little freaked out right now, not going to lie.
It depends a lot on the field. In my own work (I'm out of academia now, but it still applies), there's often very complex network setups involved, so a Jupyter notebook won't quite cut it. Many things in this particular domain can be nowadays solved with SDN, but it is still a complicated issue. I'm sure people from other fields have analogous problems, too. And this is in CS, I suspect that anything which implies more "physical" setup is orders of magnitude more complex.
> A friend of mine has additionally pointed out that the city tends to put the cycle track on the downhill side of the road (but not the uphill), which is exactly the opposite of what they should do because cyclists go much faster downhill than uphill.

I saw a really good example of an unsafe bike lane when I lived in Kent, wa. As you say the planner had put it on the downhill side of a 45 mph main thouroughfare dropping 500 feet in 1000 feet. It had a lot of great twists and turns for drivers to cut using the bike lane. And there was nothing on the uphill side.

Meanwhile I could bike a mile south and drop the same elevation by rolling through quiet neighborhoods with school zones and no traffic. It boggled my mind how none of the planners thought to redirect bicycle down this route instead of the most dangerous downhill they could find.

Maybe it's just me, but in larger cities, cars seem like an incredibly inefficient and impractical idea to transport people inside those cities. Maybe just dump the cars outside when you want to get in? Or just don't own cars and share them as a stopgap until a better solution is put in place?

Now I kind of wonder how many homeless they have in SF. Because if it's 10,000 homeless people (that would be over 1% of its 800k population), they get to spend $10,000(s) on each one ..

So either: they got a ridiculous amount of homeless people, or they got a ridiculous hole in their wallet, or the city doesn't actually spend 100s of millions on the homeless.

Was there something in particular you found interesting?
Significant sections of a number of US cities are quite walkable: New York, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, parts of Denver, Chicago. As well as smaller cities like Boulder. It's certainly true that newer US cities tend to be more spread out but if city walkability is a priority for you, examples exist.
Yeah the deep threads that break in the middle get kind of confusing. Maybe something simple like a link to the parent comment or even a replying to would help a little bit. At least so you have something visual you can link it back to other than comment depth.

"Acyclovir crosses the blood-brain barrier, a desirable quality for the treatment of herpes encephalitis, neonatal herpes simplex virus infections, and, possibly, multiple sclerosis" [0]

"The bioavailability of orally administered acyclovir is limited to 15 to 30% (23), and the level of passage across the blood-brain barrier has been assumed to be low, probably due to the relatively low lipophilicity of acyclovir (8). It was previously found (14) that upon oral administration the acyclovir concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is only 13 to 52% of that found in plasma. When sustained and high concentrations of acyclovir in plasma are desirable, improved bioavailability can be achieved with valacyclovir, the hydrochloride salt of the l-valyl ester of acyclovir."

I don't find there is that much convenience on having "hundreds of books in your pocket".

Carrying a kindle is not that much more convenient than carrying a pocket book...

Enabling women to cross the leadership chasm – Join Us
Taking something for 12 weeks is very different than years. Also when you look at men on trt they have a much higher risk of cardiovascular events than matched individuals who opted to not take trt. This is pretty well established at this point.

Not to mention we have the epidemiological data that men don't be live as long as women.

And they've also found similar issues with HRT for women in menopause.(increased risk of stroke)

But 10-12 years is probably a gross exaggeration. I wouldn't be surprised if this result is plagued with confounds( I don't think they did a survey of everyone). And these kids experienced a ton of non-doping related trauma.

Not to mention the individual interviewed sounds more like an advocate than a scientist.

Once it's clear what the terms mean, the theorem is so obvious as to scarcely need proof. If G1 and G2 can never talk to each other, of course you can't write data to G1 and read it back from G2.

I think the point is more about timing. If your client writes to G1, then you pretty much have to wait until the write has propagated to the entire network to acknowledge the write or accept some risk that some other client will read back stale data after the write has been acknowledged. I should think this would be obvious to coders also, but it is not at all obvious to managers.

I say "pretty much" above because there is technically a ridiculous third option where you essentially lock down the whole network with every read. But it still doesn't get you around CAP.
