> city residents could not agree with their tax money being spent on this

New York City taxpayer here. Fine with it. 25,000 high-income jobs, even if after 10 years, makes the new engineering campus on Roosevelt Island instantly more productive. Those jobs will pay taxes, spend money in the local economy, and drive demand for East River infrastructure improvements.

I do believe that these sorts of subsidies should be required to be put to a popular vote. Wouldn't be a bad state constitutional amendment, actually...

I thought this was just common sense. Suppose you're buying necklaces.

Today: Gold $10; Silver $0.10

Tomorrow: Gold $1010; Silver $1000.10

By adding a constant to both prices, the price ratio no longer remains aligned with the underlying value ratio. Assuming you have to get one necklace each day, there is less of a decision tomorrow than there is today, because silver is overpriced relative to gold. The correct prices for tomorrow should have been "Gold: $1010, Silver: $10.10", so you're effectively getting more scammed by going with silver.

Split that 49GB into separate piles of OS binaries, configuration data, and third-party crap that gets dumped into the Windows directory, and the problem won't look so bad. And SSD prices have been dropping fast for several months now, and the drops will continue well into next year.

But the ideal solution would be a copy-on-write filesystem supporting snapshots, rather than A/B partitions.
More and more websites I need (including government and pseudo government websites, e.g. parking ticket payment that was outsourced) use Recaptcha. As a result, my government forces me to provide Google with free labour for basic functions, and additionally, it is possible for Google -- if they don't like me -- to declare me a robot and stop me from using those websites.

And .. what do you know? Google really doesn't like my tight uBlock Origin / Chameleon / Firefox Container / uMatrix / Privacy Badger setup, and every time I need to prove I'm not a robot (by providing free labour) I get longer and longer sequences.

Similarly, Facebook (through their WhatsApp acquisition) now decides who I get to talk to, because they have a monopoly on messaging where I live.

This comment is skewing what LIC is. LIC is a neighborhood in its infancy because it was rezoned from primarily industrial to residential/commercial only a few years ago. But it's basically the perfect neighborhood for the city to grow into. In defense of the neighborhood I lived in for years:

> There's very little in terms of culture

There are literally 100s of artists who work out of LIC. Many of those "empty warehouses" are actually art studios full of spaces rented out by artists. It's the densest concentration of artists in the outer boroughs, and probably beats out 90% of Manhattan too. Check out the LIC art walk, or the LIC art open, or PS1. I agree with the lack of basic amenities (see: neighborhood in infancy), but lack of culture is an absurd accusation.

> Realistically it's the densely overcrowded 7 train, getting worse each year, with no relief in sight

Why not mention the E, N, W lines, which feed a lot of Queens and more of Manhattan than the 7? LIC (especially Court Square) is a convenient neighborhood to commute into, if it's nothing else. Also, LGA and JFK are both straight shots on the highway (15 and 30 minutes respectively) and JFK is easy by subway+airtrain. This beats out most of the rest of the city, any other criticism should be pointed towards the placement of the airports.
Where is this housing you speak of???
> For HQ2-scale projects the decision to mortgage parts of a city is done by bureaucrats

Requiring these sorts of subsidies to be approved by a majority of a city's voters wouldn't be a bad restriction to put in place. I'm a New Yorker, and I'm fine with the blood money we had to pay to ensure we got Amazon. But I'd feel much better if I knew it was supported by a majority of voting New Yorkers.

Hi! I actually just submitted my 1.0 app to App Store Review and I was just rejected for using SFSafariViewController, over the same guideline as OP. Imagine my surprise when ASR sent me screenshots of my app using iOS APIs as designed.

So not even SFSafariViewController is protection from committing copyright infringement, apparently.

I also got the same workaround from ASR: make the links exit the app to Safari. But now I'm curious what the point of SFSVC is beyond reading... a privacy policy for your own app? Web pages belonging to your own app? But then why not use a WKWebView?
Story about Medium sucking published on Medium... the irony
The SEC does not enforce the antitrust laws. Do you mean the DOJ?

If you are going to take unsubstantiated potshots at government agencies you would sound more credible if you at least picked the right agencies.

On the substantive question here, I agree that small businesses already band together to lobby the government for special treatment. It's not an antitrust violation to ask the government for things, even if you couldn't get together and do those things directly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noerr%E2%80%93Pennington_doctr....

I think the closest analog to the current state you are talking about was:

1. VHS

2. Cable TV

And the second one, in particular, had a similar feel to it (for the time). It induced this endless grazing behavior where you kept switching between channels hoping for the next best show. And those advertisements meant you would start grazing again every 15 min.

I am sure cable destroyed many budding talents, but it somehow wasn't enough to extinguish everyone who saw that blinking cursor.

This need not be a thread battle over airport commute times, but I've made the trip from LIC/Astoria to JFK many times and even with a good amount of train luck it roughly takes an hour door to door via public transit. In no situation has it been on the order of 30 minutes.

Counterpoint: Medium brings you readers and that's the most valuable feature

I've been running my own company since 2001 and been on Twitter since 2006 and I still don't have a readership that is anywhere near what I can get through the Medium algorithm.

I write to think. But I publish to get that thinking read. There really is no other feature that comes close to mattering more to me than Medium's network effects. I published something the other day that has 269K views with an additional 1k coming every day through the Medium network.

Medium's stats say they were directly responsible for 170k of those views.

Then when I look at the external views, I mostly see that those were driven by Medium as well. For example, 10k views came from Twitter, but those were Medium readers retweeting. I looked at my own promotion: Reddit, HN, newsletter, Twitter and can only count up about 10k views that I was directly responsible for.

>>if the data shows it'd be bad for the town, why the town is bidding? It may be that town management is incompetent, or corrupt - but then isn't it up to the town population to oust the incompetent management and elect a competent one?

The thing is, it can be a terrible idea, the government can still do it, and we can then elect new officials to replace them. These things aren't mutually exclusive. The problem is, voting out the idiots that gave away all the town's tax money to Amazon doesn't mean you get the money back. The town is still FUBAR by the debt and infrastructure strain, which now limits the ability of the new government to make proper decisions which leads to calls of incompetency which leads to them being voted out etc etc etc.

>>If, however, we do think it's good to allow local governments to govern, then if their decision is to bid for Amazon HQ and they think it's good for their town, why should we interfere and tell them it's not?

Really? Just defer to authority? There's a wide range of options between "Let the government do whatever it wants if that's what it thinks is right" and "Never let the government do anything because it upsets someone". People protest decisions all the time. Government officials make mistakes and implement bad policy ideas all the time. Government is a living thing. The town can say "let's do this stupid thing that will ruin us" and the people can rise up, make sure that doesn't happen, and elect an official that will put a law on the books making sure that thing never happens. AND THEN, 20 years later when circumstances have completely changes and the whole picture is different, they can then remove those restrictions as for being antiquated and problematic! Democracy in action!

well to be fair, I would've prefered that they would kill mono...
I've used tensorflow in 2016-2018 and switched to Pytorch a few months ago. My theory is that TF is used mainly because it is supported by Google, even if it is really badly designed for practitioners. In fact, TF was not meant to be public but was at first some internal tool at Google. This would explain why people at Google itself started to develop Keras or Sonnet (deepmind) at some point.

For anyone interested in research in deep learning with a python-numpy like environment, I can only recommend to switch.
I think the numbers and the philosophy are fascinating. Not just the Amazon deal--all these corporate invitation incentives.

Let's say Boeing decides to move their HQ from Seattle. Should a city like, say, Chicago, offer incentives to land the new HQ? What is the economic loss to Seattle? What is the economic gain to Chicago?

Why should Boeing or Amazon get off from paying taxes, but Bob's Sandwich Shop doesn't? One obvious answer: Bob's Shop doesn't really matter. But what if, say, McDonalds threatens to pull out of Chicago unless they get the same deal as Boeing? Does McDonalds matter? Do they employ enough people? Are they hard enough to replace? How about Walmart?

It intrigues me that municipal bidding has not spread to be leveraged by more corporations. I mean more blatantly leveraged. I mean like Boeing/Amazon-level blatant. Imagine if Carrier turned the tables on Trump. Publicly.

If Chevron threatened to pull all its stations from a city, would any city care? Is there enough competition to fill in the hole?

What do you call a corporation that exists in a space without enough competition to fill in the hole? Should you treat such companies differently? Should you let them not pay taxes? Should you impose monopoly regulation on them? Should you handcuff them? Or roll out the red carpet?

Should you punish any corporation that achieves this status? Or should should encourage the innovations that allow such creations?
This is only a bad thing if you assume that tax dollars in the government's pocket benefit society more than those dollars in the bank accounts of private individuals. I think that assumption is far to generous to the efficiency of government, especially in the US.

IMO having Amazon in paying half as many taxes in Buffalo is probably a lot better for NY state than them paying full taxes in NY.
It's funny, isn't it, the way that tech hub salaries continue to increase, with many companies willing to hire remotely only if that means low-priced offshore talent, and yet there are plenty of people in the US who offer a middle ground compromise but are generally overlooked. Like yourself, I really thought we'd be farther along in remote work acceptance by this point. While I've been a remote worker since 2005 as a moonlighter, freelancer, employee, and small-business owner (IE: have been through different experiences) it's still very challenging to get companies on board with remote work, despite the cases studies like GitLab.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying a majority of customers dislike MS's feature updates, just that there are a lot who do.

The amount of people asking for something like LTSC is large enough that Microsoft really, really ought to make that version more widely available. IMO, Microsoft's refusal to do so says a lot about their values as a company.

The right to movement of workers comes from the treaties and the ECJ decisions[0]. The basic outline is as follows:

1) You have a right to stay in another member state (host) for three months without any restrictions.

2) After three months, if you are not (self-)employed, restrictions can be placed on you. In particular, hosts will require you to prove sufficient resources to support yourself, including health insurance. If you are not employed and cannot prove sufficient means, you can be removed.

3) If you lose your job, you have a right to remain as a job seeker for six months. If you do not find a job within six months, you have to prove to the host that you are actively seeking a job, and that you have a realistic chance to get one. If you cannot prove that, you can be removed.

4) You get a right to permanent residence in the host after legally staying there for five years.

5) It is currently unclear if you have a right to the six months of job seeking before you've had an employment contract in the host state.

While I'm not a lawyer, I have used these rights myself three times now so I've read through them carefully as well as the local regulations in the countries I worked in.

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to operating system implementation, so I'm not sure if this is a naive question, but how big of a priority is this for an OS written in Rust? By default, Rust statically links everything besides things written in C/C++ (e.g. libc), so would static linking be sufficient for an OS designed to implement everything in Rust?
