Generating adverbs ("doggedly") from adjectives ("doggéd", two syllables) is, as far as I know, absolutely universal among inflectional languages. Adverbs and adjectives are very closely related things.

Generating verbs ("dogged", one syllable) from nouns ("dog") is absolutely universal among ALL languages, inflected or no, but is a much less regular process than the adjective-to-adverb derivation, as the relationship between an arbitrary noun and an arbitrary related verb is much less regular than that between an adverb and its matching adjective. English is pretty free in deriving verbs. Latin very obviously has methods of deriving verbs and adjectives from other parts of speech, but those are generally not given any formal grammatical treatment when you study the language -- it's expected that you'll just pick them up by feel.

Not the OP, but here's a Bloomberg article about this [1]. It has a bit of an incendiary tone. Later Bloomberg published an editorial [2] explaining that actually there's nothing scandalous about the zero federal tax rate; it is due to a difference between tax accounting and GAAP accounting. For tax purposes deferred equity compensation is considered to be out-the-door the moment it is granted, for GAAP purposes it's out-the-door the moment it vests.

We really like Zulip, but one major complaint is the delay/slowness of notifications on mobile apps. We are not self hosting it, but using the official zulipchat domain.

Is this a known issue?

It is a problem, because we want to use Zulip for alerts too and delayed notifications means slower reactions.
The fact this might IPO at $20b is insane...that is the same as United Airlines which made $38b in revenue in 2017 and is profitable.

It would be nice but I'd reckon the US will be the last to do so. The US, being the center of Capitalism and home of Big Tech, the lobbying pressure on politicians will be far too great for them to resist. Even Europe, despite the GDPR, is pretty wishy-washy about this kind of privacy regulation.

For the time being, I reckon this is strictly a DIY exercise.

This is different from a blockchain because it's more efficient - the length of a log proof is O(log(N)) instead O(N). A blockchain in the Bitcoin sense does not satisfy properties 1, 2, and 3 in this article.

Glassdoor is still useful in the sense that you can filter down to the worse reviews. Ignore those that are obviously sour grapes, and get a sense of how bad things are. I see a lot of things like:

Negative reviewer - "They hired too fast, have no clue what they're doing, and have lots of free food and ping pong."

It's perhaps cynical to project humanity's pettiness into the future but if the L* points are as valuable for lunar access as the article says, it's not unthinkable.

That sort of "diversifying" is potentially not very practical - video production takes a lot of time and effort, so either you cut your output there to have time for a part-time job (is the part-time job giving you as much money per hour as the extra work you could have put into making more videos?) or you're now working a job and a half.

If you can make more from YouTube ads and per-video Patreon subscribers than you could by cutting your video production by half to fit in a part-time job, it might make more sense to stick to just videos but keep tabs on local part-timer opportunities. Less stable, but a higher net income until your channel goes down -> more able to last until you can get a part-time job? Not sure; I've been lucky enough not to have to worry about that sort of thing, so this is mostly speculation.
In the last fifty years or so, 15 elements have been added to the periodic table.

I think the distinction you are looking for is the articles.

In english you have dog and dogs, but can add articles and say 'these dogs' 'those dogs' 'the dogs' and so on. In languages like finnish, the articles are included in the word, thus more variations when you take case and word genders into consideration.

But you have to grapple with the counterfactual. The status quo of not building some of these projects is we keep pumping tons of coal soot and gas fumes into the air. We are currently on course to destroy the ecosystem of the entire planet.

I won't pretend that I know these projects are well-sited or they couldn't easily be done in a better way to lessen their impact. But, you can't use "it has a new harm" as an a priori veto of changes when the status quo is so deeply, deeply harmful.
You're right. I don't know if this is a bad habit on my part, but I generally avoid "All Unreads" and "All Threads" because I'm focused on one thing at a time and want to leave unaddressed things unread until I can focus attention on them.
The term "blockchain" is ill-defined (and often is used to mean just "Merkle tree"), but in the sense of the 2008 Nakamoto paper, a blockchain derives its security from having more computational power participate in the security of the system than the unused and available computational power in the world, and specifically from having financial incentives (mining) to make this be the case. In other words, the data structure is specifically about money and corruption, by design.

You can't download the source file from youtube, so if redownloading from youtube is good enough then you clearly don't need to back up the source file either.
"Seeing that the channel is back up, it seems like it was indeed a misunderstanding and it has been resolved"

A more cynical view would be that contacting YouTube has little effect. Being publicly noisy with speculation works better.
I second that, especially about the good commit messages.
At work we have very different work ethics when it comes to commit message.

Repeating my comment from elsewhere in the thread:

The problem is that Amazon's end of the deal involved a lot of ill-defined promises, and their obvious unwillingness to negotiate was a sign of intent to strongarm the city into further concessions. Even if, on paper, it was a financial loss to have Amazon pull out, it sets a strong and positive precedent for New York and other cities across the country.

There are various ways to lie using statistics. Let's assume that Facebook's goal was to reach a total of 1 million teens between 13-18 years old. Now they definitely don't want to come into regulators' crosshairs by only targetting these Teens using Onavo/FB Research app so they opened it to everyone including adults. Now let's say, Facebook got a total of 20 million users for participation through this VPN app. So they are now saying "Ohh, don't worry...only 5% of these users were Teens." which is true but on the other end Facebook did achieve its goal to target 1 million (5% of 20 million) Teens with this app. Not saying that this is what happened here but this may be the way they want to defend their act here PR wise.
Thanks for the detailed post. A few thoughts before the weekend:

> the US's incumbent system of individuality versus the rest of the world's collectivism.

>Even if you value social harmony over individual choice the slow shift of the balance towards positive liberty in urban areas of the USA is bad if only because the USA is the last nation left that prioritizes the individual choice over social harmony.

I do think it is a bit of a broad brush to paint the world in this manner, polarized between the individualist united states and the collectivist everybody else. Certainly the difference between China and the United States is day and night, but I find it unlikely there is such a wide difference between say Australia and the United States.

> This is positive liberty. It is not inherently bad but it often leads to troubles with authoritarianism due to the concentration of power and acceptance of the use of force to interference with individual choices. This is bad and often has lead to very bad things happening.

While I can't disagree that this "positive liberty" can certainly be bad, or even terrible, when misused, I don't agree this meets the standard I was looking for, that the usage of positive liberty as seen in US cities is bad for US society.

>This fits snugly with the US founding documents like the declaration of independence and the bill of rights.

I can't say I disagree, however I question how much of a role I would place the countries historical individualism in our modern public policy. Do I want a repeat of the Boston Molasses Flood because it's that important to me that we embrace our historical individualism, therefor we must not place restrictions on the activity of those doing private business in a city?
I'm not sure if there are many places to build a city without potentially massive natural disasters.
That's really cool. How did you know they were an investor? Did they introduce themselves, or did you recognize them?

I imagine when investors or execs give rides, they probably don't generally reveal their affiliation, since that may skew the experience and the feedback. Though on the other hand, I suppose it could be helpful to say "I work at/with Lyft, how do you like the app?"

It's exactly narratives like that, "you have to store this passphrase somewhere secure or you risk losing all your money", that makes anything in this space so much less accessible to normal people.

You can choose to ignore those complexities and just treat a wallet like a simple app that just sends and recieves money without understanding anything about how it works, and the UX is way better. You just have to live with the consequence that your money is gone if you lose the phone (which is the same as losing the cash in your physical wallet when you lose that). In my experience that narrative works much better for onboarding people, because it doesn't place any burden on them to do anything. They just have to choose their level of acceptable risk, which is something they are familiar with (carrying cash in their physical wallet).
It's only high because they are in a money burning contest with a swath of other VC funded gig companies. There's nothing inherent about their business model that requires extremely high driver acquisition costs.
Unpopular opinion time, but MDN != W3schools.

W3schools may have questionable content. It may have content that is not trendy or latest/greatest. The security concerns are important, but if we're really being honest with ourselves most of the vitriol is pedantic superiority complex attitude that permeates tech conversation.

W3schools is a gateway to learn web technologies. If you go to the homepage, above the fold is tutorials, learn HTML, learn Javascript in plain sight. MDN is a search bar.

I learned PHP in high school from w3schools. I don't use it now; I use the PHP docs. I learned how to host an HTML site from w3schools; now I reference Apache docs because I know what even a webserver is. I once got a CD from McDonalds that kickstarted me being a lifelong fan of one of my favorite artists. I'm sure all of the "hardcore" fans would look down on me for that too.

Anyone serious about web dev pulls for multiple sources all of the time; probably from w3schools and mdn at the same time. People grow. Sites like this are important, although imperfect.

Streak is establishing our first engineering office outside of San Francisco. We know that it takes focus and intentional planning to make a distributed office a success, and we're looking to partner with an experienced engineer to take on the role of site lead and build out the office.

Your day to day will include:

- Engineering: We're not particular about where in the stack you're looking to contribute (see our existing engineering reqs for some possibilities, but we're flexible), but we are looking for somebody with a strong engineering background who wants to be hands-on as the team gets off the ground. As the team grows, we'll figure out together what division of time makes sense.

- People Management: Work with Vancouver engineers to make sure they're happy, healthy, and engaged. Ensure that the team grows in a way that makes sense for both the office and Streak overall. Facilitate communication both within the site and with the San Francisco team.

- Recruiting: Lead hiring in Vancouver and work with the Streak recruiting team to source great candidates. Attend meetups and events, be the face of Streak in Vancouver.

We are excited about you if you:

- You're an experienced engineer. You've contributed significantly to an evolving codebase and have the learnings to show from it.

- You're an experienced leader. You've been a people manager, a product manager, or a tech lead for a significant team or product.

It would be phenomenal if:

- You have experience with distributed teams, especially in management.

- You're familiar with the tech ecosystem in Vancouver. We're new here ourselves and would love to partner with someone who knows their way around.

> Small businesses can't get the tax break Amazon is demanding

It's in proportion. Amazon got the "big tax break" because it offered even bigger returns (9:1 as mentioned in the letter). There was no debasing here. How many doors were now closed because those 25000-45000 jobs are gone? How many struggling families would love to tell those who think this is a "victory" to shove it because they were dreaming of an opportunity like this coming to their doorstep? As we now see, the vast majority of actual New Yorkers, and not self interested politicians, outsiders, and the vocal minority (primarily organized by the union) supported this.

Idealism is the enemy of progress.
