Running on the clouds is what I meant, not their own data centers. We want their managed services next to the rest of our infrastructure and sharing VPCs.

The issue is that they don't have much of an offering at all even though the model is clearly proven. MongoDB Atlas is the only one with comprehensive options.

terrible and baseless generalization
On the other hand, currently cities and municipalities end up including the development cost in their taxes anyway, because the main consumer of such codes (and thus ICCs main customers) are cities, municipalities, and states. Contractors are another major consumer I'd guess and the average individual is paying for those too. So actually paying for it in taxes would likely lower both taxes as well as construction costs, because it's likely ICC also compensates its employees really well.
I don't think UpCodes is selling "access to building codes" so much as they're selling access to a platform for planning, tracking, and monitoring compliance with building codes. The building codes are a fundamental piece of what they're selling but it's not the entirety of what they're selling.

You mean if the land taken from the native Americans that was sold African Americans, wasn’t acquired by NY?
At least the forced acquisition has a veneer of legal and public good.

But to speculate on your question, i strongly doubt that finding yourself owning prime land years after purchasing it translates to multi generation wealth. Yes the lives of those families would be better if they sold and did something useful with the money. I suspect mostly it would be wasted away, mismanaged and wilted down thru inheritance, that’s my observation from personal observation of how much land wealth my x*grandfather had compared to my parents
I'm one of the suckers who paid for FSD 2.5 years ago. Elon said "6 months, max" back then.

It's pretty clear that we are still years away.

IMO the only right thing to do to make things right is to refund our money for that feature, apologize, and still upgrade us to FSD when it's finally ready. It sucks, it's expensive, but that's the cost of making quick decisions and over-optimistic announcements.

My perspective was one where I compile software, codesign it, upload it to be notarized and then when it's downloaded the quarantine xattr gets set; if the code doesn't get signed none of the other steps make sense. But I'm pretty sure we both know how this works so I doubt arguing about the order or relevance of certain portions of the process is productive ;)
I visualize things pretty weakly, pretty low on the ability-to-visualize scale.

I don't really think it has caused me many problems, except that I tend to get lost very easily. Luckily, we have near ubiquitous GPS now and Google Maps.

On the other hand, I have good mental auditory capabilities. I can, say, play "air on the g string" in my head right now with near perfect fidelity, or just imagine new music in real time as if I were simply hearing it. Some people apparently can't do that, but can do the visual equivalent.

So, eh, you've got what you've got.

> One feature I haven't seen in the comments here is the ability to just drag and drop an entire website folder from your harddisk to Netlify and it's live within seconds. Which worked great for a couple of older personal websites I had.

How is this different than `aws s3 sync local/ s3://your-website.com`?
Not arguing that, but it's arguably more damaging at such an early age when the brain is developing
In Netlify's case, does that mean there is no backend? No DB or node server?
A friend spoke to an SEO analyst just yesterday and it seems the counterplay is to add "recency" to your posts.

If you have an older post that's great but not changed, it'll become less prominent. So go in, edit in some changes, and now it's fresh and ready to be indexed prominently again.

If this is how it goes, I guess it helps in a way. The articles we care about get attention and don't drop off. But there's so much of the old web we might lose in the haystack.
The issue is that almost all the factors you mentioned- quality of work, work-life balance, chance of advancement, company culture... - are all aspects you can only have the vaguest of ideas about before you start in a new company. And a mistaken evaluation of even a single one of them can change completely the score of the offer.

I'm a zombie without any consciousness but never realized it until last week. I just go about my day like an automaton without any internal subjective experience and am perfectly happy doing so. I was talking to my friends and they were saying "it feels like there's somebody actually inside of me, experiencing things" and I was like "Oh that's funny, I don't have that sort of feeling at all." (kidding)
> You need to understand who you're dealing with.

And that's the point. You're dealing with smart, misguided youth with a literal hacker mindset. You'd hope this wouldn't need explaining on Hacker News, but here we are...

Having been in this kid's shoes many beers ago, I technically committed major felonies. The District flipped a lid, mind you I'd been reporting vulnerabilities two years, when I gained access to their server with their financials and PII. Wasn't doing it because I wanted to sell my shit-heel English teacher's identity to Russian cybercriminals... no... I was having fun learning and discovering this fucking awesome world of computers.

Those of y'all acting as if this kid if a real piece of work need to check your outlook. That is some real "get off my lawn" stuff. He's a high schooler, and capable enough to pull this crap off. Show him the right path, turn it into a teaching (it's school, y'all) moment, and if he doesn't want to walk the right path then who are we kidding, a detention isn't going to change that outlook anyway.
Anecdotal, but I can confirm this as well. I've had extended family members get pulled over for (multiple!) DUIs while getting nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Nothing's really changed as long as you're of a certain demographic.
I've got aphantasia too. When I first heard about it about a year ago I was surprised to learn that others can actually see things in their mind's eye. Had to confirm with friends and family, with questions like 'so you can actually see a ball if you think about it?'. Their answers blew me away.

So far I've boiled the side effects down to:

1. A complete and utter lack of direction. I literally get lost in suburbs surrounding my home (i'll very often take an extremely sub optimal route home from a store that is just 10 minutes from my home - a bit embarrassing tbh, gives my wife a laugh though). These are streets I've travelled for over 30 years. Apparently quite common with aphantasia.

2. An almost superhuman ability to put bad experiences behind me. People with aphantasia don't have the tendency to ruminate. I've had some traumatic experiences in my life and within a few months it's as if the experience never happened. I can recall details of it but the recollection is as if the experience happened to someone else.

Regarding no.2, photos are super important. There was a period of 10 years or so where I didn't take many photos, and that period feels like a black hole.

If you get what are basically bad feelings about someone's ideas, you can try to show them where they're unreasonable if you want to change their view. Relying on your negative feelings to let you insult them will almost always entrench their view, and for good reason.
Which she crushed, and then she moved on and crushed the master's level courses.

And then got a job at Google. Of all the dot-com companies hiring on campus at the time throwing million dollar opportunities at new graduates, she picks the unicorn.

At some point it isn't luck anymore.

Anyway, I'll agree to disagree here. The post I originally responded to was a question about what is so special about her.

I only know what I saw when I could observe her. That my observations differ from yours is OK with me.
Yes. These will eventually cool into so-called "black dwarfs" that emit very little light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_dwarf

Opinion of mine, abuse of terrorism statutes should be a felony.
As others have said, as a motorcyclist, my number one concern on the road is a person using their mobile device while driving. I am less worried about road rage (which is still a top concern for me) than distracted drivers.

I see it literally hundreds of times a day. People are driving their cars at over 70mph while texting. They use instagram and facebook at stoplights. They text or call while driving too fast down residential roads. They cause traffic delays because they don't accelerate at a green light for many seconds after the car in front of them has.

I have seen them hit other cars and narrowly miss pedestrians in crosswalks, completely oblivious half the time that they nearly murdered someone.

If I pull up next to them and tell them to put their phone down by pantomime, half the time they flip me off, laugh, or lay on their horn. They do not think they are doing anything wrong and that I am the asshole for telling them to put the phone down.

Distracted drivers are murderers. Distracted drivers are guilty of reckless endangerment. Distracted drivers need to be punished with prejudice. It is statistically more dangerous than driving intoxicated.
Wikipedia offers a somewhat more detailed background of her personal life and contributions [0]. It's a shame that she passed away at a relatively young age (57) before she saw the impact of her work.

Sure but he sounds like a decent scientist to me. While it’s true his organization is very much an entertainment vector rather than a more academic science output, which lowers the bar, that doesn’t necessarily mean the work he’s doing doesn’t have some utility and value.

Probably a lot more real value than a typical news outlet these days which pump out garbage at high speeds.
The article title isn't clear - is it saying that the state of the person's memories was 'restored' to what it was when they were 20 years old? Intuitively, that's just about what I would expect "electrical jolts to the brain" to accomplish, at least in the best case!
I have aphantasia (hate the name, no phantasia my ass) and I wonder what kind of: 'color blind are people with better contrast' type of stuff there is.
I remember reading that there is a significant amount of extra resilience for traumatic experiences due to not being able to get the memory visualized again, again and again which makes it easier to cope.
If anyone has more info about other positive aspects I'd appreciate it.
Thoughts after around 5 minutes. It's fast, really fast. Cmd + P Fuzzy Find for switching chats between Discord/Slack and person/channel is amazing. Will continue to use as it doesn't appear to be near as buggy as Volt.

However I do wish this was an open source project. Seems odd to close something like this off in this day and age. Seems like another one of these chat clones destined to die off unfortunately.
One way I think of it is that inheritance is like trying to model a complete solution all at once, doing the design up front and in a top-down manner. Everything's deeply tied together and more difficult to change later when you realise the design was wrong and when you need to add more stuff. Often, making a change in one place is like pulling a brick from the bottom of a pile - everything else is affected. It's very inflexible.

Composition is a bit more like building a solution as you go from the bottom up - you solve the sub problems one at a time and then just combine these solutions together iteratively to solve the larger problem. When things change, it's quite easy to change these small solutions, throw some away, build new ones, and recombine them. It's a much more abstract, much more flexible way to piece together your overall solution.
> I can, say, play "air on the g string" in my head right now with near perfect fidelity, or just imagine new music in real time as if I were simply hearing it.

For me, I wish there were a way to easily get the music I imagine outside of my head. The best I've been able to do is whistle it, sing it, perhaps each "track" and record it; I've played around with 4-track recording too. Tried trackers, but always get lost in the nuances, or trying to create a particular sound or whatnot...

But it's the same way with my visual side; I can think of things, but anything beyond technical drawing I am pretty weak at doing (and the only reason I have some success with technical drawing is that I took a few years in grade school doing it as an elective).

And GCM was literally just renamed FCM. It’s been years since I worked with the libraries but iirc GCM v3 registered tokens worked with FCM. I don’t recall all the specifics of C2DM other than that it was recipe enough that we built a whole push network at Parse instead.
Don't tell me to do some reading for f*'s sake, I know about Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper. Mayer is current, successful, and stylish. I like her. I'm trying to explain to you why there might be a 'cult of personality' around her.
blocks are the same as passing a function or a lambda in python:

[1, 2, 3].map { |i| i + 1 }

[i + 1 for i in [1, 2, 3]]

def plus(i):
return i + 1

map(plus, [1, 2, 3])

map(lambda i: i + 1, [1, 2, 3])
There is a legitimate term for this, by the way, and it is "p-zombie" or "philosophical zombie".

It is an important concept in the philosophy of mind.
Good thing we are on the verge of realization of self driving car.
The example you've cited, while good food for thought, is an example of replacing one horrendous law (slavery was once backed by the force of law in the US) with an admittedly much better law.

Sounds like an action packed version of Train Simulator.
I have aphantasia too as I said in another comment, but I have an excellent sense of direction. I'm excellent at learning maps in computer games too.

I also wouldn't describe myself as able to let go of things easily. When I remember traumatic experiences I don't visualize them, I remember the feeling, the shame or the guilt or the embarrassment.

I completely agree with the photo thing though.
> there's lots of good research associating ease of access and low prices with alcoholism

Would you mind linking your favorite papers concerning this? Most of the ones that I could find did not include an evaluation of the prices.

I would only assume that such laws would have the biggest effect on people who are already alcoholic, lowering their quality of life as they would have to spend much more on alcohol and potentially having to avoid spending money on meals or rents.
I remember Larry saying that in reality for a long time the homepage was spare because Sergey's HTML sucked (or vice versa).

I worked on a project that fell under her umbrella. I have seen up close some of the things she gets blamed for. She was demanding, a workaholic and stubborn in some of her choices. E.g. there was this one change that she —through her PM— insisted on, without any knobs, even if we pretty much knew that a vocal minority were going to be unhappy.

On the other hand, she did pick good people to lead the project, even if I wasn't enthusiastic about every single decision taken by her or them. Because she worked so much, it was easy to get feedback from her, too. :-) I also appreciated that she gave props to our team at a public event when we least expected it.

Overall, she wasn't a perfect leader, but she wasn't as bad or just lucky as some claim.
I've never read Black Swan. I found Antifragile hugely thought-provoking. Knowing both, would you imagine I had anything to gain from also reading Black Swan, or do you really think they basically cover the same ground?

> When she was talking about 140 hour work weeks she conveniently left out the fact she was paying someone else to do her domestic work

HER domestic work? There is absolutely no reason why she should or would mention this other than your sexist expectations.

Do you expect male CEOs to mention they pay someone to do their laundry and are abdicating their "domestic responsibilities"? Seriously?!
Memory tends to be poor among folks with aphantasia, but supposedly whatever details we do actually remember may have less of a chance to have been morphed over time through re-visualization. So we'd make for better eye witnesses.
I live in Austin as well and unfortunately I can't see myself cycling anywhere in town. Not only would I have to cycle on the roads due to a lack of biking paths and sidewalks around my area, but having to deal with reckless drivers threatening my life is too much.

It's only going to get worse as more companies move to Austin while the city lags behind on infrastructure.

There could certainly be a cultural factor involved and I didn't consider that, that's for sure. Continental Europeans do not really identify with the UK drinking culture, and I suppose Canada might have been influenced a lot by it.
Yes. So they are trying to tell me how to be more sustainable, and make a profit on the side? Which objective is more important to them?

Edit: I believe that analyzing the biases and incentives underlying the choices and abstractions presented to us is an important part of what it means to be an intelligent human being. Ads are not reliable sources of information, as the company is incentivized not to inform you, but to sell to you. There are many better sources of good ideas than ads.

He is wrong in that the sentence of his that I quoted contained two statements: "when the volatility of the underlying security increases, [1] arbitrage pressures push the corresponding binary option to trade closer to 50% and [2] become less variable over the remaining time to expiration." His calculation proves [1], but it's [2] that is the basis of his criticism of Silver. And it's just not true, as can be seen even in a simple random-walk model.
>Most artists rely on rules of thumb (head proportions, etc.), practice, and looking at references to be able to draw people, animals, and other "difficult" things.

Thank you for letting know. It explains a lot.

But what is the distinction between "visualisation" and "high-level representation"? It's still a relative thing, I presume, since there is no standards for it and it's certainly not in the same "level" across all artists.
It's vitally important that private business get involved in the issue, as well. I think the activists would say: Give UpCodes as much thunder as possible, and get a good precedent out of it.

Other companies, like FastCase, have been there, too.

I think people's ability to imagine scenes, and then render them, are two very, very, very different skill sets. In fact, have somebody render the scene right before your very eyes, or even try to render bugs bunny from the image they see right in front of them.

I can imagine enormous paintings from the Prado in my head, but could I render them? No, and I have decent artistic ability (not great, but I could probably do a decent bugs bunny).
