Huh?

Are you talking about the same San Francisco as everyone else here?

This is a great example of the opportunity created by ‘the long tail’ of web platforms. I’m glad that people can make money making music and that listeners have so much more choice. Very insightful.
San Diego is pretty good and not that far :)

It is extreme but I don't think it's unwarranted or unworkable.

New York should be for New Yorkers. The city dies if it just turns into a place to park money for the ultra-rich who don't live here. Having nonresident landlords mean the only thing they care about is cashing rent checks. They don't have to live with the consequences of their actions on the city.

I'd be all for a system where the vast majority of landlords in NYC themselves live in NYC.

Then everybody will do it secretly. It's only a travesty when someone starts it; other people have the right to respond to parity with their own.
Modern Classical Physics is a great book - I've recently started working through it (just about to move on to chapter 2). I'd be interested in chatting about it with others/cross-checking solutions. Anyone who's interested, drop me an email (address in my profile).

If you're thinking of getting it but want to check it out, there's a 2012 draft version that the authors have previously taught from here: http://www.pmaweb.caltech.edu/Courses/ph136/yr2012/. It's not the same as the book, of course, but from a skim it seems quite similar.
FWIIW jd is pretty good and is definitely more affordable than Kx or Kerf.
You don't even need to move to the middle of nowhere. Basically anywhere else would work. Even San Diego is rather substantially cheaper than the SF bay and the weather there is orders of magnitude better.
Heh! Irodov problems were dope... Spend multiple days putting over the same problem and the exhilaration when you finally crack it!

Still brings back memories
A missile can be viewed from many angles. A beam of light is (mostly) only visible by whoever its aimed at. Light dispersion not withstanding. Sunlight is quite bright and will mask a lot of the scattered light as well.
This would be the sensible solution if the goal was to curb kids watching porn. What this actually does is to lay the foundation to having control over any kind of content on the internet.
Of all the programming newsletters I have subscribed, yours is one of the most informative out there. Thanks for creating it and keep up the great work.
Don't know why you're being downvoted, but yes, this is a major factor on why SalesForce is being sued. Lawyers generally find the people "at fault" are the people where they can make the most money.

Relevant "I saw this on YouTube" video:

- "Should we build a bigger particle collider? - Sixty Symbols"

- https://youtu.be/-cD66O01E4E

- TL;DR: the LHC has only found one new particle, and it was looking for it. Before spending 30 years and 10-20 billion pounds on a 4x bigger collider, maybe we should wait until we have an idea of what we'd be looking for, as it's not clear what the larger collider would be looking for. The downside of not building a new collider soon is that the people who know how to build a collider now won't sit around waiting until we decide to build one, so starting from scratch in the future will presumably take longer & be more expensive.
Magic Leap and AT&T and Game of Thrones
The EU is an illusion; the constituent bureaucracies that encompass it already existed (just with different and mostly-random 80% coverage of the Eurozone) as treaty organizations before the EU was formed.

The point of the EU agreement was essentially to establish a meta-treaty of "if you, as an EU country, want to have a treaty with another EU country, then it has to be with all the other EU countries" (the "if you're going to bring chewing gum you have to bring enough for the class" rule), and then to retroactively apply that to all existing treaties within the Eurozone, either expanding, merging, or discarding those treaty organizations that enforce those treaties to match.

It looks like the EU is a lot of things now, but it's not like those treaty-ratified government departments and organizations didn't exist before the EU. They were just illegible, because they were doing things like "UK-France Treaty of Lausanne Naval collaboration", which wasn't obviously an attempt at protecting the entire continent (because it wasn't run by multilateral agreement, but rather just... oligolateral(?) agreement of a few parties interested in mantaining peace in the area), even though peace for the entire region was the treaty organization's stated goal. Likewise the thousand trade agreements that were flattened down into the Eurozone trade agreement, each of which was—at the time—between all the interested member nations that they could get to the table, but where that membership hadn't since kept up with changing borders.

If you want to hate the EU, you have to hate it for the things the EU itself does, that wouldn't exist if we never made an EU. That's mostly "a rationalization of multilateral treaty membership." Few people really hate that.

I suspect that what people who dislike the EU really dislike, is treaty organizations themselves. The EU "puts a name to a face" for many of those organizations, so to speak, but they've been there pushing governments around (at their own behest, as sovereignty-level precommitment strategies) since at least 1815, when the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Commission_for_Navigat... was founded.

I think the average joe is generally more reasonable and
able to develop critical thinking skills than most people
think

You think wrong. You would like this to be the case and you let the desire cloud your judgment. It's simply not the case. The research is squarely against you.

They just don't ever get the opportunity to learn it properly.

That's irrelevant. The point is that they never learned and cannot be expected to learn anym ore. We have to care for these people, instead of expecting them to take care of it themselves, telling them they are capable of it. Because they aren't and they don't.

This sentiment is one of the reasons anti-intellectualism is thriving at this very moment.

This is not a sentiment: these are facts.

At least 10% of people are functionally illiterate. How are you going to teach them critical thinking skills? How are you going to get them to see the truth about e.g. vaccination? Answer: you don't. This is where we need a government, to take care of those that do not, for whatever reason, take care of themselves.
Apple Is Reinventing Itself as the Ultimate Middleman
I'm not a programmer by trade, but I can relate. I'm the first chair French Horn at my school, and have the ultimate responsibility for my section playing right, sounding good, and blending in. However, I frequently find myself asking my peers what the fingering of a note is that I've played just fine hundreds of times before. Does that make me a bad player? No, it just means that it takes me longer to master things, and that I have to practice a lot more to maintain proficiency. Should I give up? Heavens, no- I didn't come this far just to quit because I keep messing up my damn B flats. Should you quit your job? Absolutely not.

It's almost like you're human and that your brain slowly removes things over time to make way for new information.

How are you doing physically and mentally? I've found that doing sports (getting out and jogging, doing yoga, etc.) or something physical really helps me stay focused and positive, and that going to bed at a sane hour is more important for me than getting extra work done- because if I stay up late, I'll be tired and sub-optimal for the next two or three days.

If you're the slowest and worst coder at your firm, then there's probably at least somebody who's knowledgeable enough and willing enough to help you out and talk to you. Find them, and when you ask for advice, write it down somewhere so that you don't have to go back asking the same thing. If you can, befriend them, though that will take time.

You didn't come this far just to quit. You can do this.
Hi Anwendo's author, off the top of my head what are the real benefits of your tool in comparison to Selenium and similar ones??
Stripe can certainly take USD - and my local (Australian) bank certainly accepts USD, as I have a USD bank account with them.
But I'd cut them more slack if they didn't sting me for currency conversion as well.
Your example is straight up NOT NVC, so yeah..
I'm yet to see any resident going to council meetings complaining that the streets are too clean, that public transportation is too good. I don't think most people connect the two things, plus a good chunk of the residents are property owners and would prefer the land value to go up. Finally, I also doubt that the improvement of public services is the main factor driving land prices up. For instance, here is Lisbon, it's mostly due to the foreigners buying up the stock (more than half the buyers are foreigners). I suspect the cause is similar in London.

Austin, TX is 200 years old. While it has grown massively in the last 70 years, that's due to the oil boom. What stands out to you that makes Austin seem like a stand out example?
I think it is more that the documentation is poor, and that they have multiple versions of things so Googling can bring back answers that don't apply. PayPal also lacks many features that are easy in Stripe like changing billing plans or prices. Of course the REST API is just a REST API, so calling it isn't any harder than calling Stripe's REST API. We did a SaaS subscription implementation in Stripe and PayPal, and while it ultimately took less code written to implement PayPal, it took at maybe 5 times as long to complete. The time wasn't the issue, it was that it was insanely unpleasant. It made me hate PayPal - I flip off their offices when I drive by.
you can via ADRs, at least for large companies they usually follow the market. However under the hood this seems unfair. Why does China get to be protective but the the west does not? Just greedy non-chinese companies that don't care where the investments are coming from?

I have a BS in physics but have never been in the "physics" field. I was tired of school and left to make some money. I ended up in aerospace designing test equipment installs for flight test aircraft to support certification. I have spent most of my career in oxygen systems for aircraft and am now in the process of starting a new aerospace company.

I think this is a lot of what it comes down to. Even taking a sabbatical and working overseas would be appealing depending on how the career winds blow. I'm curious about the money opportunities, but there's also a major value package that's non-monetary, and it would give a better perspective and skillset when returning to the west.
>Yeah, I have mixed feelings about this article. I've read a number of things that suggest that Backpage was better for women, allowing them to market themselves, protect their safety, etc.

How much of that was from the EFF or other tech industry allies about avoiding any weakening of Section 230?

The actual way to make things safer for sex workers is what you mentioned, decriminalization.
Right. When I travel I usually have a combination of physical meetings in local time and phone calls back home or spanning multiple time zones. I do mess up sometimes but I’m not sure how much you can automate.
Let me know if anyone has a comment.
I mean, yes, we allow that. You can sue Microsoft right now for any reason, and if the case meets the minimum requirements for standing, have it be heard by a judge.
I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes nearly everyday from when I first was able to read to now. It was amazing how it scaled with my age, and each re-reading brought something different to me.

Also, in my opinion it’s actually fairly complex writing as well, with lots of excellent vocabulary - really benificial for young readers!
Funny you believe it’s true
They should have done one paragraph without the Es and Rs to make the point and then had it read as normal. I bet a lot of would be readers aren't bothering with this otherwise good article because of it.
I think what you want, at least on the mobile Google Calendar app is under:

Settings - General - Use device time zone

If you disable this, you'll keep everything pinned to your preferred timezone.

But I'm pretty sure a better approach is to select the timezone of the event. If it is at 10am in Germany, why not tell your calendar about this? Sure, this is an extra step, but it is part of the event's parameters (as pointed out in the OP).
I can see it now. We are already turning groceries into a subscription service, why stop there? $19.99 a month for a coffee a week, and the store is closed to starbucks nonsubscribers or they buy a day pass for $7. Oh but did you know new subscribers get spotify free for one month???

Huge companies have already captured the market and can afford buy out any alternatives or pay for favorable policy, only a matter of time until they matriculate our piecemeal purchases into guaranteed regular profit.

Why is it important to accommodate people who might want to move to an area? Does everyone have the right to live anywhere they want to live without having to pay the necessary price to be there? For example, does everyone have a right to expect a residence on a Hawaii beachfront? And if not, why is it reasonable to portray a city as somehow lacking because it serves existing constituents above new ones?
Small world principle.

Hang around a while. Tables turn.
I think I see a strong reason now. It's kind of hard practically speaking to judge the content of porn (is it legal, illegal, violent, reasonably healthy, consented, etc), so better block it all together.

At least Japan lets non-permanent residents avoid taxes on income from abroad (that stays abroad) for the first 5 years. Depends on your home country whether this lets you avoid their taxes.

In some cases, this can save a lot of tax.

Looking at the pulse on the Copperhead repos, it doesn't seem like there's been much activity since Daniel left. I don't know how far I would trust Copperhead these days.
As a Canadian living in and working in America, I have a similar although less dramatic moral difficulty. The fact is that the American government is curiously abusive compared to your average developed national government.
To name some:

- "You have enough money you live the rest of your life in idle luxury. You could just go to the beach and never come back. If I had your money, that's what I would do. Why the heck are you still working?" (this is incredibly assuming)

- "Will you share slides from the last board meeting?" (I think if you need this information you'd probably be on the board)

- "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" (this one made me chuckle but it's also insanely arrogant)

- "When I leave here in 2-3 years, will it be because of the people, or because I haven't gotten a raise and/or promotion?" (someone who states up front that they will for a fact leave after a short period will not get hired by me. The tone also implies that he will leave because something bad will inevitably happen)

- "What keeps you up at night?" (IDK, seems way too personal, none of the employee's business)

I get that it's just a movie and should be enjoyed without overthinking since we're talking about singing animals and glossing over the whole prey-predator thing. The real crime being the inanely happy songs thrust upon parents everywhere.

I know that Disney had moved toward reaching out to groups that had not been represented in movies and this is a good thing. Then they trot out a movie of inclusion with a theme of being born to your station and any attempt to rise will be squashed. I get that everyone is suppose to empathize with being the special child, but if he's special and locked into his role, what about everyone else?

tl;dnr -- I don't like musicals :)
You could design taxes specifically aimed at lowering the appeal of landlordism, for example a high property tax (or LVT) with a deduction for your primary residence. This would encourage people to sell off buildings that aren't their primary residence and turn apartments into condos, increasing the supply and lowering the price.

Graduated wealth taxes solve this even more cleanly.
WASI will have some interesting milestones ahead of it:

* Self-hosting (WASI can run inside WASI)

* GCC can run in it

* Linux can run in it

* Quake can run in it

* Chrome can run in it
I appreciate the attempt, but honestly, I'm not really sure how you would build something like this. You'd have to be able to filter audio, video, images and text.

I'm not even sure if there exists a corpus of copyrighted content anywhere to compare against. You're probably going to have to build it yourself. And keep it up to date with not just newly generated content, but also content whose copyrights expired.

Frankly, even for companies of the FAANG scale, this is a tough challenge, and I don't think a startup is going to be able to handle this.
Of course a lot of content is cached along the route, for frequent access urls.
Craigslist also had an adult section. Should anyone who sold software to Craigslist be held legally responsible as well?
I'm wondering if Article 13 is a trick. The EU is probably afraid of right-wing/Euroskeptics winning big in the coming elections. How to get the youth vote? Well, what about threatening their beloved Internet?

YC App Bug
To anyone who submitted an application to YCS19:

I chose "Analytics" as our category and after I submitted it, I saw that questions were added because we have hardware as well. I sent a follow up message via the YC contact page with my answers. Did anyone else have this experience with their application? If so, did YC see your message in time before reading your application?

Thanks!
For sure. Here in NYC, I at least see kids walking home and hanging out with each other. If you can afford it, I'd say it's a great place to raise a kid.

Does anyone remember the amazing backscatter tech by the UW kids (https://www.jeevawireless.com/)? I've been waiting on them for years now. They were supposed to be to market by now with a $0.25 chip that does 2.4GHz at 1/10,000 of the power. They have reliable functional demos doing long range transmission using 59 micro watts. They were also working on a battery free emergency cell phone.
Not sure why this was downvoted twice... It's a fact, you will get hassled in many places in the US for taking pictures in public. It may not be illegal, but you will definitely still get angry people with guns in your face, and potentially arrested.
Pretty much all of this research is funded by one side or another— we should always be as scrupulous as possible in examining an argument, and assume there's money behind it.

Also, pedantic here but it's Koch, pronounced like "Coke", rather than Kock. :)
Yeah, and another recent piece of news is that the design committee for the international linear collider (ILC) which was to be built in Japan concluded that there wasn't a physics justification for it. Although a final decision needs to be made from the Japanese government, it looks like the ILC is dead leaving the future circular collider (FCC) as the only large new design. (Edit: it looks like Japan has decided not to build the ILC [1])

However, I think there is a lot of interesting physics for accelerators beyond colliders. For instance, the linac coherent light source (LCLS) is a huge x-ray laser out in California [2]. They are in the middle of a big upgrade and employ a large number of accelerator physicists. There is also still a huge amount we need to learn about how free electron lasers work and how we can improve them.

Another big topic of research is energy recovery linacs (ERLs). We are just on the cusp of being able to implement a technology that could save something like 90% of the wall plug power of current accelerators. They draw a huge amount of power, so the benefit of this saving is pretty clear. The first machine to demonstrate this new technology will come online this summer (hopefully). [3]

Kind of an ad hominem argument. I'm a liberal and I think we probably will need a UBI at some point, but I do see the point he's making, where a lot of big tech proponents seem to side-step the problems they're helping to create (loss of jobs) by calling for universal basic income.
