> Do you have a source for this?

Non-anecdotal? Not at the moment, sorry. I'd have to go dig. But anecdotally, most of the people I hear complaining about rents (not in SV, various places on the East Coast) are complaining about it being impossible to stay near aging relatives.

> Would you be OK with limiting rent subsidies to just those who either have provably been residents for multiple years (let's say 5+ years) or have long-time roots (e.g. family)?

I personally? It really depends on the form the "rent subsidies" take and how they're financed. I do think that thinking of "build more housing if there's more demand" as a "rent subsidy" is a bit odd, if that's the sort of thing we're talking about here.

> I don't think any city owes expansion and housing supply and a re-architecture to accommodate just anyone who wants to move there.

Now we're talking about the moral and ethical dimension of things, right? Opinions on this differ widely; I personally do not have strong opinions that would apply in a blanket way, and would prefer to analyze specific cases (i.e. specific cities) on a case-by-case basis.
I couldn't agree more. The joke construction was a bit weak though, when you miss a good part of the audience. Add something like, "I mean, could you imagine the chaos it would cause if IE told websites it was really Mozilla?" and you demonstrate mastery of the subject matter, which should be enough to let other experts know you were facetious rather than ignorant. Unless you have timing issues... or need the comedian's plausible deniability.
The recruitment rarely happens on the platform. The "normal" process is

1. Get exposed to $radical_group on social media

2. Go searching for $radical_group because their ideas are intriguing/edgy/whatever

3. Find the actual site of $radical_group, and now they control the entire process.

Think of it this way: you see a poster for some cool band that says "RadicalPandas's music will change your life. We have concerts, but they're secret and we can't tell you where they are because the man wants to keep us down". If anything, that sounds even more edgy and intriguing. So instead you just have to tear all of the posters down.
I am trying guided sleep to fall asleep faster and relaxed. It's helping me a lot.

I say this from experience that good sleep makes all the difference between a productive and a sucky day. You feel more focussed after a good sleep. Make good sleep a habit.

You sure it was b12? b6 is known to increase dream 'weirdness'. I ran a not so scientific trial 15 or so years ago with around 30 individuals where we kept dream logs and took various dosages of b6. Small amounts do have varying effects on people.

I really do not recommend high dosages over 50mg, peripheral neuropathy is not fun to have.

> If their members regularly go out and start shooting people in synagogues

But they do. Not all of them in synagogues and mosques of course, some of them do it on stadiums, night clubs, buses, trains, buildings, and some use explosives, poisons, cars, etc. But adherents of all ideologies above committed acts of murder. So, by your logic, every adherent of such an ideology should be banned. Or just those that visit 8chan? It's hard to tell these days.
Pruned Cross Validation for Hyperparameter Optimization
Per https://webkit.org/blog/8042/release-notes-for-safari-techno... the user agent is frozen in webkit now.
In general this is good advice. However I would advice against depending too much on VCs. They don’t really get it right a lot of the time. At the end of the day it is the caliber of the team, the sales/customer acquisition strategy and the competitive dynamics of the market and the position of the company within this market. So the first part about judging the team is valid. The answers below about asking questions about sales/acquisition is very good. Depending on the stage of the company, you should also ask about profitability or if there is a clear path to profitability.

Also don’t shy away from asking challenging questions...such as competitors etc. and be wary of a CEO who is dismissive of challenges. You should get a well thought out answer.
True not everything is like the crazy front-end JS world but when it comes to age we're talking about a very long timescale. Say ~40yrs in the business (20+40=60).

How many companies maintain a framework/stack from 20-30yrs ago? The average new company will die after ~7yrs from start date. Only a few major monopoly-style companies survive like IBM and Microsoft. Which is basically the only software that runs forever on that type of scale. That's only a percentage of available jobs.

And even within IBM and Microsoft there are countless sub-projects within the company...beyond say the classic Windows OS, Word, etc from the 90s there are tons of other programming work going on (for ex: VSCode is JS or IBM's cloud + consulting work). Very few of those newer projects are going to look much like the 20yr old one you cut your teeth on early in your careerr.

I don't think no one is saying age discrimination doesn't exist. But this is a unique problem in our industry rarely found in other fields.
You can't possibly be serious.

The US isn't spending hundreds of billions just to make the people think their country is the best. I doubt most people even know what an F-18, F-22 or F-35 are.
I kind of assumed so because it would be hard to find pilots that would put their name on a critical piece.
Kids these days do a lot of disgusting things. They don't know how to write their own linker scripts, read assembly, or code in a real man's language (C). They think dynamic typing is "fun" and "productive". They don't even know how to manage threads or memory and use entire megabytes of RAM to send messages to each other using an inferior version of irc. Primarily they constantly waste precious cycles, eat quiche, and spend the rest of their time trying to solve the trivial problem of generating and consuming html in as many ways as possible. They don't even know who Ken is.
Most college instructors in the US today don't, either, and aren't in positions that will ever be eligible for it. That's the point.
Universities rarely grant tenure today, compared to decades past. It is security-- if you can get it, and very few do anymore. Adjuncts have very little, if any, security in their role.

Well, the next best thing is what webkit is doing (https://webkit.org/blog/8042/release-notes-for-safari-techno...) by freezing the user agent.

So as time goes by the user agent becomes increasingly homogenous and so, less useful for tracking.
You listen to Tim Pool? He’s a right wing psycho that hides behind fake journalistic integrity to cherry pick stories for his target audience of white supremacists, xenophobes, and other anti-social nut jobs.
I'm aware of that. I also noted that they mention multiple cancers are not unlikely over time (I'm unable to access the article at this time so I can't quote directly), and they specifically pick the $5M figure as a value that they are uncertain about. I'm suggesting that $5M is probably a reasonable figure to remove any uncertainty.
The answer to this question is: when the financialization of higher education began. That's when it was decided.
> If it is no other lane available and we cannot cross the dividing line due to oncoming traffic, we are forced to reduce our speed to that of the cyclist (which often means halving it or more) until we can overtake them safely.

In most situations where you're actually likely to be going the speed limit the cyclists normally have a shoulder to ride on anyway. Other times motorists are just irrationally impatient to get to the next red light.

> As an aside, cyclists are also allowed on our footpaths, and this has led to quite a lot of pedestrians being injured by cyclists colliding with them at speed.

In most of the country they aren't allowed on footpaths, only in Qld and maybe a couple of others. And how many is plenty? There was one pedestrian killed by a collision with a cyclist in 2006 but 230 killed a year by cars (http://www.executivestyle.com.au/when-cyclist-and-pedestrian...)

> The government is attempting to retrofit bike lanes, but this does not remove the requirement to give space, and the lanes are co-located with parking spaces, which forces cyclists to move back onto the roads.

Cyclists aren't exactly fans of this either, I'm still waiting for a council to get sued into oblivion for creating these death traps.
'Cheese Said Yes ': You Can Now Get a Wedding Cake Made Entirely of Cheese
Yep. I worked at a toys r us in high school, and can say that selling toys was a secondary priority. A sales associates main purpose was to sell extended warranties offered through some bullshit 3rd party.

I don't know how prevalent this was, but I was trained to lie to customers in order to sell them. I was told the warranty would cover any damage to products at all, and 5 months in I finally read the fine print and realized I'd been used to scam hundreds of people. Quit shortly after.

I wonder how much age bias is to blame for the constant reinvention of the wheel and hype-tech in the industry
Yes. Because history demonstrates our ability to do that - not to allow factions like the KKK to triumph.

We’ve done this kind of thing before, and we’ll do it again. Facebook responding like this IS the marketplace of ideas reacting.
GOOD.

Now do anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.
Getting mostly straight line access between A and B is going to be amazingly difficult, and more so as you get closer and the property owners get more and more stubborn, because you're invested. 99% of a rail route isn't very useful, and doing a jog around a stubborn parcel owner isn't very possible.

Realistically, you need eminent domain, a frontier environment, or a super motivated population.
I applaud the fact that they admit to the mistakes and owning up to them. Converting abstract relationships into semiological representation is not exactly well cut science. There is a bit of experience and discovery in being able to take complex data and present it in a clear manner.

Now, only if we can get publications like Bloomberg to admit their mistake about "The Big Hack" but off-topic and I digress. I've always enjoyed Economist and its British humor, and this article just adds more credibility.
I've been on the same track. The train was 4 hours late picking me up in SB, and probably 8 hours late in total.
You probably need to start taking Welbutrin or something. See an occupational psychiatrist. They really can help, and quickly.
I'm unsure about the Detriot specific case (it might have an unusual number of road crossings on very high traffic streets) but I'd suspect it would reduce congestion by taking cars off the road. Most commuter trains have this effect.
For a CS PhD, I think it's safe to say they got into CS because they have some interest in coding. But that's not always the case for students in other STEM fields. There are plenty of PhD's who were never formally trained in software and their advisors (especially older advisors) consider programming ability akin to operating a TI-83+.
Latest ES supports purging expiry based on a time field I believe, but before that you were creating daily/hourly indexes and haggling with elastic curator to delete them. There is also no meaningful way to do it by logical size.

Elastic is great in it's own sense, but it's not as flexible as mongo when it comes to schemas.

It's really strange that of all the former British settler colonies, the one that's the most republican in attitude is also the one that's most enthusiastic about maintaining the surveillance/police state parity with UK. Canada and NZ are doing much better.
It's a little irritating this is only available via the S3 API rather than something I can just move my archive too. I guess maybe it's time to upload to S3 and be finally retire my Glacier archive after ~5 years.

Reading between the lines, I wonder if they're really trying to just deprecate the Glacier API, and move to Glacier being a different storage tier in S3. Which is probably what it should have been in the first place. AWS will likely never actually retire the Glacier API (much like SimpleDB has never actually been retired), it'll just hang on, not receiving new features.
Maybe just a playful way of making a more clear distinction between the two
It actually does sound like they tried to blend multiple voices. It sounds very tinny and robotic; and not particularly non-gendered imo.
Nope, that's wrong. Look at the above link I posted. Those are new, not refurbished, iPhone SEs.
I spend most of my time on Reddit, and you’re spot on here. Deplatforming is the most effective way to fight the spread of hate. It’s literally a cancer, and it’s goinf to take the chemo therapy of stepping on the toes of free speech to protect our country and society.

Sucks, but that’s what it takes - especially when they wrap themselves up in the flag and hide behind the first amendment to spew their hate.
> For tests in departure resistance, we truly had to trick the system. We would disengage all the self-protect mechanisms to put it into an out-of-control regime. And then we would allow the controller to wake up. It would recognize the situation it was in, and then it would get itself out of the situation. Absolutely fascinating. It will null all of the pitch rates, yaw rates, and roll rates to the extent that you can get it out the attitude that you’ve got it into.

> When it comes to true departure resistance, we allowed the system to be 100 percent engaged, and we would [fly like] a very badly trained pilot. So everything that I have been taught not to do as a pilot since the age of—crikey, when did I first start flying? Maybe 13—I was being asked to do.

I would love to read about the people who code these sort of controls systems.
Since higher education became a commodity, that's how.
Tuition will not drop until we see a tightening on student loans. As long as lenders are giving out vast sums of money to kids with no job and no credit, there is no reason to drop tuition prices.

Higher tuition wouldn’t really be a problem if it weren’t for the fact that many people who take on these massive debts are later unable to secure high paying jobs that let them pay it off in a timely fashion, turning them into debt slaves for the better part of their life (or maybe all of it). That’s the risk you take though.
Security technologies can only get better over time. I would argue that with hardware wallets, recovery seed backups well-protected & well-stored, M-of-N signatures, etc, you can get to a level of security that's already far far better than cash, and good enough for 99.99% of use cases.
We can claim the LSB of the sequence number.
> but I have a hard time being sympathetic to intelligent well educated people who chose to pursue careers that obviously don't pay well.

The problem is that those people went through their schooling being told that they were awesome and should be a professor (by people who successfully became tenured professors, and who didn't experience failure).

Then they finished school, tried to actually become a tenured professor, and found out being awesome isn't good enough. You actually have to be spectacular. So they failed, unlike their old professors who encouraged them the whole way.

So there they are. Ph.D in hand after a decade of hard work, but no tenure in sight. What would you do in their position? Find and adjunct job that's at least someone related to what you've spent your life doing? Or roll the dice again and spend thousands of dollars you don't have to go to some javascript bootcamp or something (that you'll probably fail, since you're no technical whiz kid, because you spent the last decade focusing on medieval literature)?
Call me silly, but this seems like a great option for backing up nonessential personal data like a movie collection. It's even cheaper than Backblaze B2, and the limitations (180 day minimum storage, 12 hour retrieval time) don't seem like bad tradeoffs.
It is. Students citywide match in SHSAT score order from the top down.
Not to go way off topic here, but Alan Dershowitz is the type of person to say anything as long as there’s benefit for him (see: extremely highly paid defense attorney for billionaire child rapist Jeffrey Epstein, and last year Harvey Weinstein), and while he may not be wrong your comment sort of holds him up as having any sort of credibility on the inner workings of the media world. Nobody should take that man at his word.
Ontario health cards still have the mag stripe, 2D bar code, and photo hologram. I don't think they've changed since the old red and white cards that didn't have photos.
They added Json fields to mssql too, didn't make it a mongo killer.

How exactly would this work? Let's say I have been coerced into making a back door, and my company has a policy of enforcing code reviews for every project. Surely, somebody would notice? Or would they count on me to do my best to obfuscate the back door? What if I "don't know" anything about obfuscation?
It seems pretty obvious to me, lots of people want to be professors and there are only a limited amount of spots. Being a full professor is highly, highly prestigious so many people are willing to sacrifice quite a lot to attain that position. That drives pay down and makes it very competitive to get some of the few spots available.

Also the commoditization of education has made full "professors" less necessary from the perspective of the college/university. For the vast majority of students at the vast majority of colleges who just need to take the required classes to get their chosen major so they can get a certain type of job, they don't need research professors, they need someone who knows the material and can teach a class. I don't think adjunct teaching positions should pay as little as they do but since so many people want to be adjunct professors as opposed to pursuing careers in other fields, it drives down the cost of hiring adjuncts.

What can we do to fix the problem? The federal government can require a certain ratio of PhD student:professor positions to receive federal research funding, so the ratio balances out across all the school. Decouple being a research professor with being a teacher of tertiary education (adjunct professors aren't really professors in the same sense as a full professor anyway). Get rid of tenure so universities don't perceive giving out full professorship positions as risky.
> A useful currency is one that measures wealth consistency, like a meter stick

Currency doesn't measure wealth consistently, and makes a terrible measuring stick. That is a great analogy to take literally - most of the developed world cuts 2% off our monetary measuring stick per annum as a matter of policy. or people who aren't unusually interested in maths and finance (ie, most people) that is highly confusing, because they set their expectations then think that somehow they are getting ahead if they get a 1-2% pay raise.
Thank you for coming into this thread and dropping knowledge bombs. There are way too many BRRRRT-heads online that think they're experts in military aviation because they watched a youtube clip one time.
I frankly blame funding institutions like the NIH and the NSF for this situation. They readily fund lots of cheap graduate students rather than pay for experienced techs. This leads to the glut of PhDs even in fields where there are jobs outside of the academy. Too many of them (myself included) think we can make it in the system, having been sheltered by our supervisors and who themselves may have an outdated notion of what it takes to succeed. So like people who want to be movie stars there are too many for too few jobs. Although we never had a formal union, when administrative jobs were filled by late-career academics it sheltered us from market forces. Now with the corporate-minded boards and professional administrators that shelter has been removed leading to the “cost saving” adjuncts.
