The first mentioned sentence is really stating that a lot of people (specifically vegetarians/vegans) have a bias much like religion in which they seek out to prove themselves right instead of finding out what really is, and when presented with evidence they are wrong, will further assert their being "correct" all the same.

"IT" is vegetarian/vegan diet as being healthier. It started off as a religious PoV and mostly still is. There's never been a closed clinical trial that showed that a vegetarian diet is any better than an omnivore or carnivore diet. Most studies already have a lot of factors and bias.

The "ethical vegan" is one who chooses to do so, because they don't want to be involved in the taking of animal life. This is generally a personal and moral reason. I don't have anything bad to say about someone that chooses this so long as they aren't trying to sway others out of a religious-like zealotry.

I remember at 2, I asked these questions because I was genuinely curious and a simple answer wasn't enough and a complex answer was too hard for my primitive mind to comprehend so I just endlessly asked why.
Economic inequality gives rise to hyper-parenting
As long as we're discussing video games...

It has been my private head canon for a number of years that the Gerudo race in the Legend of Zelda are the result of an attempted gene drive to exterminate Hylians. The fact that their offspring are (almost) exclusively female suggests it, and attaching the modification to a (literal) fitness increase would be a reasonable way to try to help it achieve fixation sooner.

Well, looks like I'm going to have the Gerudo Desert theme stuck in my head for the rest of the night.
Macs are heavily used as development machines, so it won't be locked down for programming. It will be the first machine with programming capabilities with awesome battery life.

What's even more fun is that it can mean that some companies switch to ARM servers if their environment works well for development (just what Linus told that it won't happen)

There's a chicken-and-egg thing here. It'd probably shift quickly enough if there were enough devs who wanted it, but that wouldn't (as I noted further up) change the existing blobs. Folks impute magical powers to container systems and I am required by Hacker News civil code §13.3(7) to nitpick it obnoxiously.

For comparison, IBM has teams of folks roaming the opensource world looking for things to port to POWER and ppc64le architectures. If you run a successful enough project they show up and start submitting patches.

"First: You don't know that. In fact the neighbours would disagree."

You don't know either. So I guess we are both speculating.

"Second: laws are intended to be preventative. "

Do you agree with all laws on the books? I sure don't.

"I build a campfire in my room and this time it doesn't destroy my building, that doesn't excuse me in law or ethics. I still did a dangerous thing, knowingly and recklessly."

Can you explain to me how having a legitimate business where nobody was scammed and the outcome was a happy customer is reckless? In addition to this, there were multiple jobs added to the economy as a result of their business venture.

"There are fines involved because NYC operates, even its own gloriously half-arsed way, under the rule of law."

The hotel lobby has lots of influence in NYC. It's a very similar situation to the taxicab unions. Some laws should be bent and broken..because they need to be changed.
It seems it is both the richest and the most unequal among the developed countries.

Agreed. I’ve worked remote for over 10 years but mostly all 100% remote companies.

My recent experience with a company that allowed remote work but was 95% in-office was absolutely miserable. They won’t accomodate any change in communication style, tools, and they’ll regularly have important discussions in the office without you. And you’ll never change their culture. Plus as others have said, those kind of places will never give senior positions to remote workers.

You seem to be confusing strategy (long term thinking) with tactics (short term thinking)

I wish I could understand why you seem to think it's a no-brainer that workers should unilaterally resign what they see as their long term interests to accept unquestioningly a corporate agenda with uncertain benefits for them in an indeterminate future.
Huh? I work 40 hours a week remote in my office. After 5pm I close my office door and I’m done.
The hiring company pays a referral fee, typically a percentage of the hiree's salary.

To do this, though, companies have to trust you and your referrals (send one bad engineer and it can be game over). You also have to ensure the companies don't waste the candidate's time or put them through another full round of interviews. This wasn't really a problem because there's such a demand for engineers and I managed the hiring process very closely.
"For one guy to make millions there are many city inhabitants that have to face ever increasing rents. And this harms the city because it increases unrest and puts off people from moving in."

The article also states that these apartments were in upscale areas, so it isn't really preventing anyone from moving in.

"You would probably not enjoy renting or owning the other apartments there"

If the inhabitants of those apartments are causing problems, the landlord should have the final say.

This all really should be up to the landlord and not the government.

We used to wipe out all kinds of animals that were deemed pests only to find out later on that these animals served a role in an ecosystem.

I personally do not mosquitoes and wouldn't mind if they weren't around. But I hope we are absolutely sure that we know what we are doing and don't regret wiping out these mosquitoes a century later. Hopefully there aren't any unintended consequences.

Don't birds and other insects eat mosquitoes?
I get the feeling the author found out what "a priori" means recently and is trying to find excuses to use the term.

That's what I feel conflicted with as well when I'm building my products as well. I actually am a huge fan of your content and I did find it through a google search asking about parts of a car.

I definitely will be throwing a purchase towards your video series later today.

"The reason we have hotel regulations is to help mitigate the externalities that hotel operations put on the nearby community"

Hotels have hundreds of people coming in and out of the building on a daily basis. At most of these apartments you would have at most 3 or 4 people. The difference is scale.

The only reason NYC even cares at all is because the hotel lobby is powerful and the city wants their tax money.

They should just tax it and leave it up to the landlords/property owners.

It is, but they could continue to do it.

I appreciate the skepticism. But you might want to look at the foundational evidence for meat-causes-(bad thing) health claims. It's all incredibly weak and confounded, and would never be considered evidence in other fields.

Long Island City is directly opposite Manhattan (and to reply to the other comment, is most certainly a part of NYC), is extremely lucrative property, and much of it has sat unused largely because property owners have been trying to rezone as residential (where it is worth hundreds of millions an acre). NYC is extremely robust. NYC doesn't need Amazon, and never needed Amazon. And contrary to the claims in the linked letter (a spittle laden diatribe of someone mad that they didn't get their way), there was opposition right at the very outset. Significant opposition. Opposition that Long Island City doesn't want to be Manhattan, for instance.

As someone who has nearly two decades moonlighting experience as a live sound mixer, stories like this remain a reminder at how bad humans are in general at hearing.

These two instruments are both great, but the Hammond is no analog for a pipe organ. Neither in tone nor the way it interacts with room acoustics. It's fascinating that this could even be a plausible discussion.

You can improve your hearing markedly with practice. I didn't start with "golden ears" but have improved a great deal even as my ears age. But many of my worst days behind a mixing desk got the most positive response from the general audience.

I was replying specifically to the meaningless statement that "Math is clear". Replying that the math is unclear doesn't really clarify it or demonstrate your point.

The economy has economic activity. That activity is taxed at various levels. When a leader, taking a huge slice of the activity, demands special treatment to take even more of the economic pie, the math is clearly bad.
> and a tax base necessary to invest in Queens that has received very little investment in decades.

In what alternate universe is this? Queens is hardly Camden or Detroit. The neighborhood in question has 40+ story office and residential towers sprouting up like weeds. Queens is at a record low employment rate ever since this started getting tracked at the county level: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYQUEE1URN. And there are similar statistics for the metro area. It is unclear to me that New York City needs to throw any tax credits for jobs when we are running probably very close to full employment.
awesome. not only is this site for 'tech elite' written by a someone with the programming skills of a child, the mods have recently started leaving alone obvious spam. all content is fine, as ling as you're nice. so the mentality of an insecure high school social reject, who is now a grown angry little adult. hey loser, gurss what. you've shadow banned an IP. A NAT IP. For an internet provider.

About 20 people at work can't post. And that's just one of many buildings using the provider, all behind the same IP. Boy you're smart.

Surprisingly, not being nice, especially to these incel mods, is still very easy from any of the hundreds of free vpns. So what you've done is killed off a slew of your users, while not accomplishing your goal. PERFECT! Could not want more.

> As more and more female mosquitoes inherit two copies of the modification, more and more become sterile.

So our plan is trusting in the reproduction of an sterile animal that is unable to reproduce but must multiply somehow (by budding?) to replace the wild population that 1) do not have any problem to lay eggs or mate, 2) are much more numerous and 3) can suck blood that is needed to bost the egg production.

It seems that this plan has some loopholes...
This story is so good because it perfectly illustrates the issue with politics today:

- A vocal minority of leftists managed to force a silent majority. Once they won, they didn't really know what to do. Now everyone realizes that New York is worse off.

- All of the outrage started and snowballed on Twitter, where self-centered politicians decided to use it as a way to virtue-signal.

- The press did an awful job on this story: every article got a baked in narrative (From "Amazon was defeated and NYC won", to "NYC Lost and Amazon won"). It is simply very difficult to know what actually happened.

I live in a place that has a month of snow or so each year. But we also have snow plows and road salt, so the time roads are actually covered in snow are limited unless you are in the middle of nowhere.

Of course there are places where it's worse, and the US tends to have more extreme winters because of their unique geography (no mountain ranges that block wind from the North, combined with a huge land mass in the North). But that's the exception, most inhabited places have very managable winters.
If a mad scientist mastered the technology and introduced a gene drive to make humans dislike broccoli, say, how long would it take for us to detect the attack?

Could we undo it? Since CRISPR modifications have side effects, would we feel safe trying to undo it? Where would we draw the line?

If the mad scientist targeted broccoli bitterness, maybe we would let it pass, especially if we detected the attack after hundreds or thousands of people had been affected. The cure could be more dangerous than the disease.

If the mad scientist decided to try to give everyone blue eyes, maybe we'd act more aggressively to undo it?

I don't think the answers are obvious. And since these are not billion-dollar experiments, it could be a real concern.
Yeah let’s sit around and jerk off while we have shit we could use to make a difference.

I think your misunderstanding the goals of alibaba / Tencent. The derive their value precisely from their strategy of doing lots of things ok instead of one thing well. They are "platforms" not applications. And if they stuck to what they each did well in the beginning they likely wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful as they are now.

Also I think it's too early to tell whether how their worldwide expansion plans will play out. It's worth noting that between them they own a slice of most major tech companies in SEA. I wouldn't be surprised if thats not the only part of the world either..
Even the Bolt that is replacing the Volt as their go-to-EV is still losing money per car sold (for now):

> An unnamed source cited by Bloomberg News estimates that General Motors is expected to take a loss of between US$8,000 and US$9,000 per Bolt sold. A GM spokesman first declined to comment on the expected profitability.[20] Opel refuted that in December 2016 and states that GM has battery cell costs of $130/kWh, and industry is not yet optimized for mass production.[21] A UBS teardown in 2017 suggested slightly smaller losses per vehicle, of $7418 on a base spec, or $5520 on a higher spec vehicle.[22]. They estimate that by 2025 the Bolt will make a profit of about $6000 per vehicle.

In fairness, the real reason, at least in NYC...

is that they never end up in a situation where they get 100% of nothing. Google and Amazon have thousands of jobs in NYC, and they will move thousand more there in the future. For these people in NYC, they don't know the consequences of not having loads of places to work. For them, it really is a situation of "Heads we win! Tails we win slightly less!".

Perhaps it may make sense to say something if none of resulting trips meet your search criteria.. For example, while I understand this isn't a realistic search, I entered '$300' and left the rest of the options as the default. All of the resulting options are 9x to 10x+ the cost of what I entered with no indication that it couldn't find trips matching my criteria better other than a 'relevancy' number that is hard to find in the UI because it does not stand out.
Not that many people who work at big tech companies moved from places like Mississippi to Seattle/SV/NYC. Lots of them came straight out of school (and top schools these companies recruit from are concentrated on the coasts), lots of them came from overseas and most of the rest came from other coastal areas. Even those who came from places like Mississippi don't all prefer their hometown.

Also what makes places like SV and NYC great is that they are big and diverse enough to serve as acceptable second/third choices for lots of people from all kinds of places. Some people may prefer small towns and cities, but most people who do have are often driven by concerns like family and friends and have specific small cities they'd prefer. HQ2 in some small city in Mississippi may appeal to those who happen to be from that area, but don't offer much to others from small towns elsewhere in the US. If you consider that these companies employ glboal workforces, this is even more obvious - if a random American tech worker had to work in Turkey, would they rather work in Istanbul or a random small Turkish village?

I don't understand this idea that it would be better for top tech companies to be headquartered in random places in the US - it's obviously terrible for the companies involved but it also doesn't serve the greater good. It leads to 1) company towns that live and die with the company; 2) environmentally inefficient sprawl; and 3) talents being trapped in wrong situations at wrong companies due to immobility. Furthermore, a critical mass is important and innovation is not a zero-sum game - if Silicon Valley's capital and talent, etc was spread around the country, I don't think the outcome is that you get the same level of innovation and wealth creation, only distributed more fairly - a lot of it probably never happens. Innovation is almost certainly accelerated along by a concentration of capital and talent in a small area. This doesn't mean everything should be in SV, but that there are strong benefits that accrue to society at large from companies choosing to bring talent to an already talent-rich area.
Well that's just like, your opinion, man.
