Do you have any data to support this? I am not being argumentative, I just found that from personal experience the opposite was true- that total rent tended to be higher in SF, but the apartments tended to be larger, at least than those in Manhattan. It seemed to me that SF was slightly cheaper per sq ft, with many more houses having access to outdoor space.

The closest I could find in terms of data was this site- https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/rental-market/us-average-apart... which compares SF to all of NYC, not Manhattan. The studios are somewhat bigger, the 1BRs slightly smaller, and the 2BRs are on average slightly larger- but the difference is very small.
i'll reiterate my favored solution (for urban areas): turn parking lanes into protected bike/scooter lanes. that solves the safety problem both ways (cars on one side and pedestrians on the other).

until then i'm fine with scooters being encouraged (but not forced) to use less busy roads, and tolerating them on sidewalks for major roads without bike lanes.
So now that all the crimes are a matter of public record, how do they get the money out without it being traced directly back to them? Shady local exchanges?

Agreed. Perhaps this is an unfair reading, but it feels like the implication is that if there aren't technological solutions to problems, then technology companies don't play an important role in those solutions.

But Google has so much power to help, and in fact is better-positioned than almost any organization to help - and in fact has a duty to do so given that it helped create the problems. For instance, Youtube is one of the biggest sources of propaganda and uncivilized discourse there is.
Ensuring your citizens are safe, fed, housed, and healthy is the bare minimum for any government (Looking at you, SF). "Peace, land, bread", you know?

But any time an entity is afraid to be challenged, it is selfishly choosing its own survival over the possibility that there exists a better provider for its citizens. That part is the "not best" part, and it's also the part Google is accused of helping with. If Google was secretly working with the PRC to improve Chinese citizens' medical care, there wouldn't be any concern.
Then you should be aware of the disservice you do the debate by preemptively framing people who bring up the issue with being misinformed as those people.
Precisely. That's what was embedded in the question. It doesn't matter what color people are. It's not meaningful diversity on its own.

What they seem to be doing is judging people based on surface traits, not the content of character. Their approach to diversity is a regression and not good for progress.
When the President of the U.S. runs a press conference and wants to move on to the next question, that's the President's right. It's not Acosta's place to run the press conference and control it. He's one of 60 journalists in that room. There's 1 President. Ok, if you were in a court room, the judge runs the show. When you're in the White House, the President runs the show. Simple as that.
Well, thank you, that's very good, but that doesn't exactly solve the problem.

I'm a hard-line rule following bicyclist, but I have no control over the other cyclists that blast past me at red lights. What are we supposed to do, render our nonexistent authority over them? I suppose I can say "please don't do that," but I try that and it has no effect.
I don't see how you could arrive at that conclusion with any certainty.

There is a computability argument - part of your statement implies the assumption that 'AGI' is computable. I would be inclined to agree in this aspect, I think a preponderance is required before we start seriously considering that intelligence is uncomputable. After all, last time I checked the jury was still out as to whether super-Turing machines are physically realizable.

So let's suppose for the sake of argument intelligence is computable. Well then in principle 'AGI' has been 'realizable' since mid-last century when we first constructed Turing machines.

With the caveat that it may take the lifetime of the universe to classify an image of a cat.

It is quite conceivable that, although Turing-computable, 'AGI' requires taking expectations over such large spaces that it won't really be 'realizable' until hardware improves by another few orders of magnitude.

My Fortune 100 company has us watch a video where a white IT guy stalks a minority female in the parking garage and leaves a CD on her car with a mixtape, or something, I forget. It is pretty bad.

Yes, they replace the battery and the top case together during the battery replacement.
Because the Trump administration cancelled Acosta's press credentials and the Secret Service barred him from entering the White House.
Hey, I'm not even that dogmatic of a pacifist and I'd go further. Entering the first WW and the preceding entangled alliances was the wrong choice (as warned against by our founders). The resolution of WWI set the stage for inevitable problems including WWII.
I'm not sure I agree - I've never lived in an American city where cyclists didn't blow through reds. I hear it's the norm (though still illegal) in the UK as well.
One of the more interesting pieces is buried in the linked PDF:

"Excessive alcohol: Harassment is never acceptable and alcohol is never an excuse. But one of the most common factors among the harassment complaints made today at Google is that the perpetrator had been drinking (~20% of cases). Our policy is clear: Excessive consumption of alcohol is not permitted when you are at work, performing Google business, or attending a Google-related event, whether onsite or offsite. Going forward, all leaders at the company - Directors, VPs and SVPs - will be expected to create teams, events, offsites and environments in which excessive alcohol consumption is strongly discouraged. For example, many teams have already put two-drink limits in place for events. Others use drink ticket systems. The onus will be on leaders to take appropriate steps to restrict any excessive consumption among their teams, and we will impose more onerous actions if problems persist."

As someone who's been exposed to heavy drinking culture in Silicon Valley, this is a huge step in the right direction. I hope more companies and tech events adopt this.
No, because all global unicast allocations are done out of 2000::/3 This means even if we screw up all these allocations, we have many other chances to get it right.

a lot of the advice struck me as something that not everyone looking for a job can afford. 10 weeks of trying a new thing for a week? I found the best advice in the article to be the one about taking time off to travel - that it will be hard getting back (know someone who is in that state now)

Honestly: If you're looking for a job - find a friend who is hiring. Be sure that friend is not just a friend, but a friend who is going to go to bat for you.
Performance benefits likely depend on which side of the partial application / currying coin the operator ends up landing on. Some of the partial application proposals would potentially reduce the needs for currying in the language, which would reduce the needs for a lot of variable closures in some libraries.

The biggest potential benefit is to typing (in Typescript or Flow), which potentially can provide potentially much better or at least much simpler typing and type inferencing with an operator versus many of the alternatives (such as variadic pipe() functions).
This is required in some European countries. For example, in Germany, workers have a right to 50% of the board for companies with more than 2,000 employees. (Ties break for shareholders, due to the way the chair position works.)

Obviously, this hasn't destroyed Germany's economy, so it's doubtful it would hurt Google's profits much either.
Am I the only one who wants to see more seated scooter innovation? I would much prefer riding one of these self-balancing scooters/microcycles to the standing scooters that everyone is using.

How mature is this project? For some reason (possibly just scars from years past), I'm pretty wary of IRC clients that aren't mature, due to concerns around security.

The first PR is from Feb 2016, so that makes it a little under 3 years old. Is that old enough for an IRC client?

I really like how it looks! Feels much more modern than HexChat (what I currently use).
There will be more stories coming out about Google in the coming months, they are notorious for having a whole different set of standards for their super special elite executives.

I don't know any specifics of an event or anything, but I have heard a lot about how none of the rules apply anymore once you get to the inner circles.

You say that like its valuable. POSIX has a lot of problems, if you're going to go through the trouble of throwing away a mature kernel like Linux with all the hardware support that brings, you may as well also ditch your POSIX baggage.

anyone familiar with the algorithm can help answer a few question?

1- Why C-instance can come from any node without a
paxos phase 1a Prepare message, is it because each node (R0 to R4) have its own distinct replication log for C-instance?

2-When sequencer receive a C-Accept why is it safe to assume this value was successfully accepted by other replica without receiving a paxos phase3 Commit?

3-If replicating large value, are the value only sent in C-instance message and not in O-instance messages?
GCs absolutely increase memory pressure overhead, or are so conservative that they practically lead to slow leaks. You have to keep that metadata of "what is and isn't a pointer" somewhere and that comes with a cost.
>most of them have modems

Any source on this? Sounds interesting. There's only so many reasonable places you could put an antenna, given that vehicles are mostly metallic. So, if so many cars are have cell modems, they should be easy to find.

I'm aware of OnStar, but that certainly doesn't cover "most" cars. GM has less than 20% of the US market [0].

In America, both 8-to-5 and 9-to-5 are colloquially referred to as "40 hours/week". It's not an exact math equation.

E.g. Many offices that have salaried "40 hours/week" jobs have expectations of employees showing up at ~8:00am, leaving ~5:00pm, with an unpaid 1 hour lunch in between. Same inexact math reason that we also call 9-to-5 "40 hours" instead of "37.5 hours" even though some workers take a half hour lunch break.
This is honestly offensive, I grew up in manhattan, and tons of my friends growing up lived in very small spaces (families sharing studio apartments). The key difference is that the amenities that most people in the suburbs have within their own homes are available in shared spaces all around you.
agreed, it's the most successful gov surveillance tool, now even enhanced with tracking financial movements
I also take issue with the idea that you should try something for a week, and if you don't like it, it's not for you. There are certain ctivities where your first week will be a poor representation of how much you enjoy an activity. I found the first couple of weeks of learning how to play a guitar miserable. That does not mean it was wrong for me to persevere, it meant that certain activities only become enjoyable once you reach a particular skill threshold. I can think of a lot of activities that work like that.

As I understand it, libel (and slander) only apply when someone's reputation was damaged. I'm saying it could be made a crime to mass-broadcast false information.
IP isn’t supposed to have “private address space”. The only reason it does is because the address space is scarce. NAT does not make your network “private” or provide security, firewalls and good host software do that. NAT literally breaks IP.
there's a lot more to a person's perspective than their political ideology. i imagine at google it'd be advantageous to have people who approached problems with a plethora of cognitive approaches, however. it's difficult to measure such things, of course.

political ideology can't be a meaningful diversity goal anyway, nor should it be. there may not be a "best" ideology but promoting political ideology alone would be a terrible idea because in the current way that diversity is practiced it would require treating ideologies like nazism as on the same table as others.
Anyone using Stackery in production ? Curious about the use cases that this is being used for.
Hey, if they're honking, they see you, and that's the most important thing. I get far more close calls when I stay to the right than when I take up the whole lane.

I fully support these scooters doing the same.

People may complain about scooters and bikes in a traffic lane, but if it catches on, we should see less total traffic since they're more compact and they'll probably avoid the more busy, higher speed roads anyway.
I think Nim absolutely has a place competing with Rust too.

It has several tunable GCs allowing for great flexibility there, and also supports running with no GC at all. It compiles to C that will compile nearly anywhere C does. It produces smaller binaries, and it can easily link against musl instead of libc for an even lighter footprint. It's also safe like Rust is, and the compiler will help you catch a ton of errors.

That's not to say that it's competitive at this point in time. It's much more unstable as a language due to not reaching 1.0 yet. They only just (August) received any real kind of funding, allowing them to hire on a new developer but it's still just a handful of core devs and some dedicated contributors. The standard library and the community repo (Nimble) can't compare with Rust's and Cargo in terms of package availability and support.
That's fair. The President can run his press group however he wants.

But we, as citizens, can also fairly criticize the President for pushing the doctored video and lying to us. This doctored video is proof positive that the White House Press Secretary is willing to photoshop videos to push their viewpoint.

This is a sad day in America. We all know the technology is possible, but to use it on such a trivial issue as "who was trying to grab the microphone" just demonstrates the poor sense of judgement of the current administration.

---------

The President has the ability to revoke the Press Pass of whoever he wants. But why would they push a false story while doing so? This isn't even that important of an issue, but to see them doctoring up videos and pushing them around is... worrying... to me.

We’re purely speculating but I disagree. He wanted to ask his questions. He was already being non compliant. And he wouldn’t have handily given up the mic to anyone. I also doubt her job is to use force. Her job is to move the mic around when people give and take it compliantly.
I recall Toronto had a labyrinth of passage ways under ground, with shops etc. It connected to the subway and it was very convenient. Guess they built under ground due to the weather?
If that's the case, the person financing the bombs and war are to blame as well. You can't really get away with avoiding taxes, so you can get a pass on that one. However, you probably own a smartphone that was largely manufactured in China. Buying imported goods enables Chinese oppression much more than introducing a search engine that just maintains the status quo and siphons some money away from China.

There I was, sitting at the busy intersection of Sacramento and Ashby in Berkeley, when I saw two boys that couldn't have been more than 8-10 years old fly by on Bird Scooters. And I thought to myself, some kid is going to die.

And lots of people do die on these things: https://www.google.com/search?q=bird+scooters+deaths

These scooter companies suck, I wish they'd all go away. If they weren't all going for hypergrowth, they'd be less of a menace. I can see the boon for commuters on the last mile, but when I weight that against how they endanger children, encourage illegal usage of sidewalks, ruin pedestrian experiences, and don't provide helmets - I think the industry is in need of a reckoning.

They also totally wrecked the coastal street/"boardwalk" in San Diego. As a pedestrian, you're constantly looking over your shoulder for drunk idiots on scooters.
i agree with you generally. let's put express lanes underground (for both cars and trains), since they're prioritizing getting places quickly over easy access.

but to be fair, that's more (sometimes much more) expensive. not only because of the digging required to put the lanes/tracks underground, but also the extra things like ventilation systems and pedestrian exits/corridors.

Why not just ban alcohol at work? Why can't work be work, and social stuff can happen outside of it?

I know it sounds a bit extreme. But, after reading "It doesn't have to be crazy it work," I feel like companies use alcohol to bribe employees to stay at the office after-hours.

A midground would be drinking only with sit-down food. Nobody is doing shots while having dinner. Another idea could be making company social functions a lunch activity, rather than a dinner one.
Just putting it in the employee handbook is more of a liability deflecting move than actively training people and explicitly creating common knowledge.
The implications of this argument are that the government is suppressing media and using disinformation to convince the public that it's alright. This is part of protecting journalists and dissidents like you argue we should be focusing on.

The problem with this sort of advice is that how useful it is completely depends on where you are in life. Basically, it's targeted advice, but there's no disclaimer stating that.

Arbitrary examples:

- Someone fresh out of a Chemistry undergrad

- A 40 year old laid off from their Walmart job with no savings

- A 30 year old who's just had a successful startup exit

- A young (say ~20) adult in a dead-end town

... etc

The advice given to all of them will be completely different. For most people, this stuff is completely useless, but for a specific group, it might be very useful.

It's also very much dependent on goals. Do you want to work 9-5 for a lifetime? Hard at first, easy later? Do you want to take high-risk shots to attain financial independence? etc.
Central Park is more like a big outdoor garden not in anyway comparable to a large trail system or public lands area. There are trails a little north and in nearby Jersey 1-2 hours by car on the way to (if you head out in the early morning). But on the way back... God have mercy. Expect at least two hours and closer to three and a half in crawling traffic as soon as you get somewhere close to the city.

You can see quite a bit more like the Adirondacks you're willing to drive 5-6 hours, but a drive like that isn't suitable for a day hike.

You can also find some smaller trails and untended areas on the outskirts of the city (eg, Marine Park in southeast Brooklyn). But these tend to be.. well small.

Anyway my point is, like most big cities, it's difficult to really get "outdoors" with any measure of convenience.

Have you seen https://github.com/labs42io/itiriri? It does lazy queries on iterables, like IEnumerable from C#.

import { query } from 'itiriri';

function* fibonacci() {
let [a, b] = [0, 1];

while (true) {
yield a;
[a, b] = [b, a + b];
}
}

// Finding first 3 Fibonacci numbers that contain 42
const result = query(fibonacci())
.filter(x => x.toString().indexOf('42') !== -1)
.take(3);

for (const e of result) {
console.log(e);

Yep - this is an extreme example, but the main reason it's a bad idea.

If you live in a high cost of living area, but are okay living with roommates you can save a ton of money. More than enough to make up the difference compared to living in a low cost of living area.

You also get better quality of life and a lot more opportunities - meeting people for work/friends/dating. It's also better to have a high salary in order to more easily keep a high salary.

I think you also learn more faster from increased exposure to talented people. I grew up in Buffalo which is a nice and very cheap place, but there was nobody to learn from.
