>While it may sound socially just it is also one of most un-progressive (conservative) things you can imagine. It literally conserves the population of a given district.

Well, who said conservative is bad?

It's about the interests of this or that group (e.g. given population vs people coming from outside). Arguments can be made for either, but if a given population is not protected, then those coming from outside wont be protected (from people coming from outside later on) either.

People build cities to be protected and prosper long time in them, not to give opportunities to third parties to come and displace them from the places they've built and helped grow.
A messaging app isnt the same, you need the profiles aspect of it. I am not interested in having 10,000 contacts in my phone.
Chess24 has real-time human commentary as well as shorter post-game summary.
Speaking as someone who works in this field theres a lot weve learned about towers. Suffice to say dont build them in the middle of nowhere, for the poorest in society only, and with acres of non-defensible space in front.

The best planning in cities today is building transit oriented development at a scale to match your city's housing need. Do it in the right places with a reasonable design and it works great
The reason this subject is tough is because quantity and quality do not necessarily lead to affordability for the same population as rent control. Laissez Faire economics always works for the faceless theoretical self interested actor but how are rising prices and new builds going to help to someone from being priced out? It can't. If it did, the control would be benign anyway.
Great book - every home cook should read it. A truly effective philosophy for building dishes. You’ve maybe heard the expression “the acid cuts through the fat” before and this book explains why and is useful in finding ways to adapt this technique.

Having 50 or so pages dedicated to salt is great. Knowing when to salt something and what effect it will have on the food is particularly useful. Effective brining and salting is critical to cooking.

I didn’t care too much for the show. Just unremarkable imo. But the book is great.
> 1995 would have given an intelligent species enough time to build a money-losing, poor-people housing skyscraper or two.

Welcome to planet Earth. We humans are intelligent as individuals, but not as a species. At species level, we're just gradient descenders with delusions of grandeur.
I think, as many seem to be picking up, that tooling is critical for blind programmers and is secondary to how the language is designed. No matter how the language is represented in text, it can be made accessible with the right tooling. Often, however, this doesn't exist. This is why Python is quite polarizing for blind programmers, some love its simplicity and readability and others find the whitespace trips them up. But I think this is a function of what tools blind programmers land on to use Python...and probably also how much residual vision the programmer has. Remember that only 10% or so of blind people are totally blind.
Can some explain why affordable housing is a problem that requires government policies to prevent? For example, I can't afford a home in Malibu, so I don't live there. I don't understand the issue. Why does government need to step in and fix this?
Yes, of course having to move due to no longer being able to afford living in the place you've lived on for say 10+ years, downsizing probably not only in living space, but also quality of surroundings, is comparable to leaving your college dorm in your early 20s. I guess one way of preventing trauma is pretending it doesn't exist by making ridiculus comparisons.
Product Area, it’s like division under Vice President or Senior Vice President.
Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded...
This is the exact reason why I became a huge fan of Chef John since 2010. He has follow-along style videos of cooking different dishes. What I love about him is that he purposely keeps a fluid recipe to add in what you like, omit anything you don't, concious about possible alternative ingredients for personal taste, dietary restrictions, etc. Also has a great sense of humor.

I highly recommend checking out some of his videos here https://www.youtube.com/foodwishes
Information literacy seems to be at an all time low
Everything you've said is agreeing with me except maybe the clarification that the Falcon 9 first stage doesn't quite cross the the Karman line, right? In particular, I think "sub-orbital velocity" is commonly taken to include trajectories that are substantially below orbital velocity

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-orbital_spaceflight

like the Mercury-Redstone mission Freedom 7 that achieved a peak speed of ~5,100 mph, less than Mach 7.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-Redstone_3

Also, to be clear, the re-entry burns are definitely necessary to avoid damage to the Falcon 9 first stage.

https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-rockets-burn-up-in-the-atmosp...

(You don't explicitly say otherwise, but one could misread your comment as suggesting that the re-entry burns are optional or negligible.) My main point was that the re-entry burns are about reducing the velocity significantly (30%, or whatever), not just for steering the trajectory into the atmosphere like for de-orbit burns.
Lack of affordable housing is a problem that government policies cause. Why not fix it?
Unless those are less than about 20 years old, I will argue that they no longer apply. With the internet you simply cannot censor information they way you used to be able to do.

With the internet you can't have an Albigensian genocide.
Are you specifically saying that if someone wants to post to "get you killed.com", the web site for "Exposés that'll probably get you killed. Have an exposé you want to post that'll probably get you killed? Post them here now! We're on tor, too" then out of these two versions:

1. Only log in to tor to visit "get you killed.com" once you're ready to post the stuff that'll get you killed. No other tor usage.

2. Do all your usage through tor, including making your "get you killed.com" post but everything else too.

Then out of these two versions, the person who is doing (1) is safer than the person doing (2)?
Do you expect more automation in the workplace from Amazon or less? Cause the numbers only work if the jobs are created, however Amazon has about a decade as a cushion. A few years from now, Amazon could conclude that it may not be worthwhile to create all the 25,000 jobs and the better option is to return the government's money in year 10, this will be a loss for the city.
>What if you can't figure out who the offending country is?

Sounds like a great excuse to take out all the "usual suspects" at once.
Almost certainly. Zen 1 supported ECC on everything down to low-end consumer chips. It's unlikely but within the realm of possibility that ECC support will move up-market slightly with Zen 2 but is almost unthinkable that Zen 2 won't support it at an architectural level.
While this is a good idea in theory (and is possible on e.g. FreeBSD with ZFS with boot environments), dpkg can't do this easily. The main problem is that it's possible and supported for the managed files to be placed upon multiple filesystems. Separate /usr, separate /var, separate /usr/share, whatever combination you choose. This means that dpkg needs to force file synchronisation across all mounted filesystems and it can only do this robustly by issuing fsyncs.

When there's only a single filesystem, and that filesystem is btrfs (or ZFS), it should however be possible to optimise this away and delegate everything to the filesystem. But even here, maintainer scripts may issue their own fsyncs as they update their own databases, kernel images or whatever.
Yeah, my primary concern is that there were some other teams expressing interest in hooking up to the stream for working with the data in real time.

I know of a few workarounds - if the data is also being sent to S3, having some services working off of S3 events instead of the stream directly, or using Kinesis Analytics to fan out to additional Kinesis streams.

I might also just hook up SNS to the stream via Lambda and have them fan out from SNS. Hmm.
Yeah, like Tokyo. It's still one of the most amazing places on the planet, with great culture, ready to get around and even beautiful green spaces. But soon it will continue to grow and become awful...<\s>
Privacy and anonymity are not opposites, you can establish anonymously an encrypted session which gives you both.

However, privacy is often paired with authentication, which is the opposite of anonymity.
It is a problem when not just Malibu, but the entirety of Los Angeles becomes unaffordable. Then people with less means need to live very far away from where they work, etc.
If one studies basic microeconomics, then one understand the concept of "market failure" or market inefficiency. They include rent-seeking, externalities, and information asymmetry.

The housing shortage is nothing more than a classic case of rent-seeking, which in this case is that special interests, for example, wealthy landlords, using politics to create an artificial scarcity of land through zoning density restrictions. The typically Democratic city councils are bought out by the wealthy landlord special interests and everyone else is harmed, including basic wealth creation (the wealthy landlords are not creating wealth but are taking their unfair share through political influence).

The Democratic city councils, while publicly critical of Trump, actually embrace policies of zoning density restrictions that make Trump far, far wealthier than he would be in an efficient market and normal people far poorer.

The fix to the housing crisis is quite simple: remove the market failures, eliminate the zoning density restrictions.

Japan did just that almost 20 years ago by having a federal law that override local zoning density restrictions. The result: in 2014, in Tokyo alone, 140,000 housing units built. NYC only 20,000 and all of California about 90,000.

In today's world, a fundamental course in Economics should be required just as basic courses in English and writing are required. It is astonishing how many college students and college grads don't understand even the most basic concepts for microeconomics and market failures.

Security in a shell, what for exactly?
Possible. But until those changes are done and deployed, users on mobile connections would do gigabyte-sized downloads and Google's servers would suffer. If a lot of clients do SELECT * FROM *, the DBA will complain a lot until it stops, one way or another.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches; it must have been a nasty choice to make.
All AMD processors have supported ECC for a very long time, its trivial to support it, Intel have just decided to gate it as a premium feature.
>A raspberry pi is $25 and far exceeds the home computer of the 80s and most of the home computers sold in the 90s.

That would be relevant if the metric was "cpu power of computer sold in the 80s".

There were some $100 (or even $25) pieces of hardware far more powerful than ENIAC in 1980 as well.

But the relevant metric is "cpu power appropriate for contemporary uses and programs" -- and in 2018 it means what people in 2018 consider a home computer.

>If your goal is just learning how computers work, you have far cheaper options today.

Why would that be your goal? That's only of interest to programmers and tinkerers, not 95% of the population.
It is just a slow implementation, the usage of a dictionnary rather than a list is weird and the setup will be long, `get_sentinel` scan the whole list while it should just continue so it multiplies the complexity of the algorithm by n, line 22 scan the remainder of the list while it should just go for the multiples.

Here's a naive implementation I just wrote:

def crible(n):
nums = [True] * n
nums[:1] = [False, False]

for i, isPrime in enumerate(nums):
if not isPrime:
continue
yield i
j = 2
while i*j < len(nums):
nums[i*j] = False
j += 1

It is much faster (and is about 10 lines of Python):

timeit.timeit("list(crible(1000000))", number=1, globals={'crible': crible})

So a well specced but not top-end personal computer in 1983 costs about the same as a simililarly specced computer today and the same as high end phone that effectively replaces computers for many people? It's kind of underwhelming.

and you think ANY of that is a relevant argument for Long Island City's 3-year residents? LIC is the perfect place to build this. A lot less contrived than when Google bought a block of lower Manhattan for $1 billion back in 2011.

I feel like you would recycle this post as a counterpoint for any form of upward mobility in an area.

The model exists in a vacuum because the subsidies make a profit and create minimal overhead.
>Well, another POV is that some people like to help others.

Is causing my favorite bar to have an increase in customers, to the point that it's unable to deliver the good service I came to enjoy, a good thing? Said bar then starts to tweak things - they hire more staff, raise prices.

Next thing you know, the qualities that made people to flock to said bar are gone, customers die dow, and the owner is forced to lay people off and possibly is stuck with a bill for equipment or refurbishings they can't cover. This kills the bar.

I've seen it happen more than once.

Again, as I said: people before me found the bar, and people after me will too.
If you establish the session anonymously it cannot be private as you have no idea who you are talking too.

Keep in mind that anonymity isn’t Eve not knowing that Alice is talking to Bob but that Alice doesn’t know that it’s Bob who is talking to her regardless of what Eve knows.
>You get a population of existing residents with rent controlled apartments, who then have no incentive to fix the housing shortage or eliminate rent control, but insufficient construction going on and consequently even higher prices for people who didn't get a rent controlled apartment in 1975.

You may not be in that population but you have to solve for them as well. Removing rent control is only going to price them out.
I've been to Tokyo several times and always use public transit, even during rush hour and it honestly has never been worse than the light rail in SF. It gets crowded at times sure and I'm sure there are specific times on some lines when it's this bad that you get staff posing passengers in, however it's far away from being the norm. It's usually pleasant and if take it over my commute on a car any day.
So how much are you making exactly monthly?

How did you decide on a niche?

How did you research your niche?

How long have you been doing it?

How did you do keyword research and such?

How much content do you write/produce?

Do you do reviews? If so whats your method?

Who are your affiliates? It sounds like you work with independent strap makers, how does being compensated for sales work with them?

How long did you blog before you started seeing a profit?

Do you think one day you’d be on track to promote your own watch/strap?

How did you make the actual site?

Thanks in advance. Hope you dont mind the questions

I haven't read the book, but I share your feeling about the show. It was a bit disappointing.
Can I also have everyone else in the same boat as me also donate the money they don't need? My few hundred pounds is not going to go far. I don't want them to take just my few hundred pounds. I want them to take in hundreds of millions of extra pounds.

I don't want charities having to rescue people from defunded services that were defunded to give money to people who will never notice it; I want the government to come up with better policies than "let's just cut some more taxes for people who don't need it and won't even notice".
True – yet extremely hard to find especially in a fortress situation end game when you can’t afford to wait cognitive brain to calculate new variations after each single move.
I don't think the issues that emerged at Cabrini Green and Robert Taylor Homes can be blamed primarily on their design. I suspect the systemic lack of maintenance and overall poor management were far more significant factors. There are thousands of safe, clean, and healthy "towers in the park" public housing projects around the world - from Singapore to Spain. And there are plenty of low-rise and townhome public housing projects in the US that suffer from health and safety problems.
Thank you for your reply, I've read this. It was a little hard to follow, but thanks for answering.
What do you mean exactly?

Your subscribers were using stolen cards?

I started to watch the video series set in Italy featuring the author. I agree with the premise, thought a few scenes were interesting (particularly the butcher and harvesting olives in the first episode), but just couldn't get into the cooking and dining scenes ... too heavy on the "food porn" and too light on the "whys" of what they are doing. They just do something, and people are mostly left to their imaginations of why this combination or process or amount leads to the terrific outcome shown on the screen.

I will say one thing about the video series that was refreshing: She learned Italian, and for the most part talks with people who can't speak English. Many cooking travel shows are forced to rely on interpreters, expats, or locals who can speak English, which really limits the expertise and viewpoints that can be shared.
I assume the idea is that, on average, you'd get better results just following those five points (focus on the body, get a reasonable text size, get decent line spacing, adjust the two for 45-90 characters per line, choose a decent font). When you spend reading the rest of the book, you'll realize that the author seems to deal with absolute bottom of the barrel typography regularly. Those five things alone would dramatically improve most of the bad examples the author brings up.

A small improvement on a large scale is better than no improvement.
Agreed.

“Are the FAANGs the first perfect economic actors in human history?”

No. I remember people making the same arguments for mortgage back securities.

So much worship of so much snake oil.
The poorest in the UK can’t pay double. They can already barely afford food reliably, as evidenced by the growth of food banks.

Fresh food doesn’t survive long arbitrary delays, either in the field (there are already labour shortages in UK fruit farms) or in transit (if the customs process takes longer on average after extra staff have been accounted for, as that leads to ever-growing queues to cross the border — something which is very much an “it’s complicated” scenario because while the UK can in principle unilaterally decline to check things coming in, the consequence of doing so is being compelled to choose between doing so for all nations or face action in the WTO).

The question of affordability is only made more extreme by the decline in the value of GBP.

Note that this is not something I consider to be an inevitable consequence of Brexit itself, merely the spectacular arrogance of the people running the show, as the UK could’ve planned to hire enough extra customs inspectors and build inspections ports, but didn’t.

They should’ve started with no-deal as the base scenario and worked up to the best possible improvement, but they’ve started with a self-contradicting mess of aspirations and had massive internal arguments every time they had to decide which part to give up on.
Sort of - they let mainboard vendors decide whether to support it or not, which means it can be a crapshoot. For example, MSI's been known in the past to kill ECC support with a BIOS update; some vendors have tested that you can use ECC RAM but won't enable any of the error correction (for example, Gigabyte say this in [1]: "non-ECC mode".)

Selfishly I really wish they would make it easier, because I'm in the market for a new personal-use storage machine and I've spent far too long researching all this crap but it's looking like I'll have much more certainty that it'll all just work if I buy a Xeon E3/E-2000 series and that's unfortunate.

Depends on what template means to you.

If a designer finds clients asking similar things, then the designer saves time by packaging their own work into something easily modifiable.

And yes it can also mean stuff they got off the net. Your level of discipline has no bearing on it, the client isn't supposed to know.

On a side note: I think Pentagram did an amazing job with the WCC branding [1] in 2014. It's ridiculously non-conventional for a serious organization such as FIDE to adopt it. They did reject the proposal for Shuka Design for the new "pawnographic" (as it was hastagged on twitter) logo [2] for the 2018 championship and only kept the arms tangled up around a chess board. Still, its extraordinary and personally I love it. Oh and they have a King's Gambit perfume [3][4] for sale.

For some people Facebook is certainly useful to keep in touch with folk. But for my part, I am happy I never joined.

A corporation in a position to collect all kinds of information about you, to build graphs of who you know, when you communicate with them within the service, to learn even the people you know but who are not in the service yet appear in your pictures (shadow profiles), and so on... That is too much power for a single entity. Who watches and regulates them? Who looks after how that data is used? Who makes sure they behave? How can you ask them to go away if you don't like them? What if the political situation goes bad as in post-1920s bad and someone repeats the IBM/Hollerith tabulation machine use-case using data from Facebook?

Some might say the tinfoil is strong in this one but come one, after everything with Snowden, after the Cambridge Analytica and everything else, I am happier and happier about my initial decision. The only way to win is to not play the game and all that.
I recall hearing that certain motherboard manufacturers were disabling ECC for their lower-end AMD boards.
