Are you really sure about that? 60 000$ mortgage payment is probably more than 1 million in loan, and the property value can be double the loan (appreciation since they bought + initial payment outside of the loan). I don't exactly know the prices of houses but I guess 2 million dollar should buy you a house?

As possible as it is they have no morality at all.
Hydroelectricity is cheaper than nuclear, but relatively niche. It needs a lot of flowing water and a large change in elevation. In many places it is dead in the water.

Compare this to nuclear, which only needs a large body of cooling water. Saltwater or fresh water, doesn’t matter.
If I saw this poll I would assume it was a joke. Does the law have no understanding of irony? Serious question for those who might know (I know this is Malaysia so things are different).

This is a surprisingly reasonable article from Bloomberg and it's certainly true that Mortgage and 401k doesn't feel like saving excess money, but it does essentially map to savings.

I'm not sure it's really a useful conversation to have though. We live in a world where there are essentially an infinite number of things you cannot have. So feeling rich is pretty much a choice once you're beyond probably double the average household income for the area you're in.
Million dollar 30 mortgage is approximately 5k / month which is 60k / year. Are small homes substantially more than that?
130k supporting a spouse and living in manhattan, and even eating out constantly, is more than enough to save a ton of money per month. 500k and struggling is ridiculous.
I don't disagree, but starting here is still very, very close to the starting line. To me it feels like lazily standing up to begin walking to the starting line, rather than having already left on the race. We're all very far from doing anything remotely meaningful in this endeavour.

Regarding multi-arch support, Ryan C. Gordon (Linux game porter extraordinaire, icculus.org) had proposed FatELF [1] back in 2009 (LWN coverage [2]). It seemed simple enough to implement, but never really picked up steam (IMHO for reasons that speak of the culture of the Linux ecosystem).

Is it not obvious from inspecting a carcass whether it died due to impact with a vehicle versus some other means?
So how does it work in France?
>"...our data shows that, when used properly by an attentive driver who is prepared to take control at all times, drivers supported by Autopilot are safer than those operating without assistance."

This is the key phrase. Tesla is all in on marketing "Autopilot" as a fully autonomous driving agent when it's not. It's an advanced lane-keep assist system combined with dynamic adaptive cruise control. No more advanced than GM Super Cruise or Honda Sensing. The lies from their marketing department and Musk himself are causing these deaths, not the technology. If they were responsible in representing what the system really is, people would actually be more attentive to the fact that they are still driving a car, and not blindly trust their lives to a level 2 system. Honda and GM do this, and have yet to see any fatalities.
Not just sugar and fat though; eat plain bread made without any salt or seasoning; you will eat less than bread made other ways. Same for unseasoned potatoes.
I agree with this basic sentiment, there is a whole class of problems that were "hard" before modern technology made them "easy". It is definitely interesting to look at legacy systems that relied on the 'difficulty' factor as part of their design as a protection against abuse.

For example it was both inspiring and utterly brilliant in the way that Alan Turing broke the Enigma cipher with his Bombe machine, but today anyone who knew how Enigma worked (which England did at the time) with a modern laptop could exhaustively search the keyspace and 'crack' messages in real time.

Software radios have made it possible for curious people to have "read/write" access to the entire spectrum between half a megahertz and six gigahertz. That will continue to be a problem for people who designed systems that depended on how "difficult" it was to build a radio at their particular frequency.

That isn't the case for Aircraft navigation. Anyone who can pass the Amateur "General' class exam in the US has the necessary knowledge for interfering, potentially destructively, with aircraft navigation. I normally would consider that a non-issue except that Asian Airlines flew a plane into the runway at SFO. Is that a system problem? Or one where the pilot should be better trained? Arguments can probably made along those lines. But that interfering with navigation is possible with pretty much "off the shelf" components? Not really a new thing and certainly not something that is an imminent threat to passenger safety.
Einstein was not very good with math. He stood on the shoulders of Pointcaré, Lorentz, and Riemman. He saw more, he saw farther, he was brilliant, but I'm not sure he'd have done what he did without those shoulders to stand on. OTOH, once he had Special Relativity in the bag and saw an outline of General Relativity, he had the persistence to see it through.

Feynman had it easier in this sense: more shoulders to stand on, less radical theories to develop, and was less alone in terms of peers.

IMO Feynman and Einstein are comparable.
I would hope no one would try to swim in one, but if you empty the pools where the vast majority of America's nuclear waste is stored, most people would say the resulting cavity strongly resembles a swimming pool.
What's funny is denying that social media use by teenagers is more damaging to their health than, say, smoking cigarettes.
So has AOL, friendster and MySpace I heard. Different DNA than Google and based on the foundation of voyeurism with text entry boxes cut and pasted from MySpace, who cut and pasted them from friendster and the list goes on. You don't cut and paste algorithmic search technology.
In fairness, if I were an IG exec and this horrified me and I couldn't sleep and was digging into it and demanding answers from my people and all that drama...

I'd still give a safe, bland quote to the press.
Interestingly enough, America's manufacturing prowress also coincided with the prowress of unions.

It was the rise of the executive class that doomed both America's manufacturing and its unions. It turns out that when the people who don't actually make anything have total leverage, they do a good job of fucking everything up.

The entire passenger rail service also went bankrupt due to the demands of the Brotherhoods, which had a stranglehold on the industry.

This is simply false. Passenger rail service went bankrupt as a result of many forces, including the rise of the automobile and the dominance of the cargo transport industry in America, which owns almost all of the rail lines in the US and prioritizes freight shipping over passenger conveyance.
It's also possible that the Saudi Prince's ethics are merely different from someone at Facebook but I don't think beheadings are commonly considered a good thing in the U.S.
If you're making $500,000 a year anywhere on the planet and struggling you've most likely let your lifestyle get the best of you. Sure, maybe there are a few circumstances where that's not the case: a major medical bill that you're paying off, caring for your parents or other loved ones. But otherwise, there would be lots of places to cut back without a notable change in quality of life.
I have trouble justifying spending 314 euros on a sleep-tracking ring.
Without net neutrality, the companies running game streaming services will be able to pay for prioritized transmission to reduce latency and jitter.
This is what happens when a great company/product decides they want to squeeze money out of their customers.

I saw this happen with Evernote. It's starting to happen with Dropbox.

I wish there were a company really focused on the long term, and that cared about customers more than bottom line.

Dropbox / Evernote competitors: please, show up.
I don't see the context that explains that D = death and L = life. Maybe D could have stood for Dark and L for Light?
Just because green energy became as cheap as fossil and they can afford to switch without sacrificing profits doesn't mean they are taking "climate action". It's the same as if I claimed credit for "climate action" because I am paying energy tax. I am not saying this is malevolent. But it's at best neutral.
==He walked away. That's how you negotiate.==

You negotiate by giving them what they want (ending war game activities with South Korea [1]) and receiving nothing concrete in return? Seems like a questionable tactic?

Also, just to clarify, did you support the Iran agreement?

==So they're getting ready to negotiate again then. That's good.==

Are you honestly arguing that North Korea launching missiles is a good sign?

== Still: no nuclear testing==

Not according to satellite images.

"The satellite images suggest that the North has been engaged in a great deception: It has offered to dismantle a major launching site — a step it began, then halted — while continuing to make improvements at more than a dozen others that would bolster launches of conventional and nuclear warheads.

But American intelligence officials say that the North’s production of nuclear material, of new nuclear weapons and of missiles that can be placed on mobile launchers and hidden in mountains at the secret bases has continued.

And the sanctions are collapsing, in part because North Korea has leveraged its new, softer-sounding relationship with Washington, and its stated commitment to eventual denuclearization, to resume trade with Russia and China."[2]

How many folks actually have $250k they can just drop on a mortgage downpayment?
First normal assessment on this thread, spot on!
> You have no right to mass media outlets. Just as I have no right to barge into your home and force you to listen to my speech... you have no right to force the owner of a tv or radio station to broadcast your message. Your right to free speech is not a right to violently force others to deliver your message against their will... those other people have the right to free speech and liberty too.

I agree. I'm just saying that suppression of violent extremist propaganda in mass commercial media isn't some kind of violation of some centuries-old tradition, or a slippery slope toward Chinese style information control, as some people frame it, because it was literally the state of affairs in the US prior to the Internet.
Some people, and even cultures, are more into shouting than others are. Perhaps this is just normal. I've seen it in marriages, where a non-shouter joins up with a shouter. The non-shouter thinks that things are going very badly, while the shouter wouldn't mind some shouting back in the other direction and won't take complaints seriously unless shouted.

Good luck figuring out if this is the case.
The other reason is that you can pay them less.
I actually thought that in my small town where Aldi's and Save-A-Lot already exists amongst 3 other major grocery store names..there would be a market for one.
Just to note,
it was clearly said "can be", not "always is".
Sorry to hear you had to go through this.

Shouting is a sign of weakness on the part of your boss. Why he had a weak moment? There might be dozens of reasons big or small and we certainly can't, but maybe you can put how it happened into context a bit. Maybe your boss had a bad day or was hangry, maybe he is under some heavy professional or private stress, maybe he just got some really bad news just before this happened.

In any case, this is a total no go, and if I were you, I'd draw a line. I personally have a three strike policy if someone treats me extremely unfairly. If it happens the first time it may be annoying, but maybe I also didn't get the full picture. I'll tell the person that what happened made me extremely uncomfortable and that I need to know the context of why it happened. I will also tell the person on that first occasion, that if it happens a second time its on them and the third time we're done and I'll show no regret or mercy in cutting ties or taking appropriate action against their behavior.

This system helps me to stay calm and focussed if stuff happens as I know already how it will play out and I don't worry about the future that much.

I don't know your context, but if you're a software engineer who was hired at a company 10k away be aware that you're on the long end of the stick here. You will most likely find employment again - and hopefully know what to look out for the second time. Do not be afraid to ask direct questions, I would say that is much more socially accepted in Western Europe (most of all in Germany) than in Asian cultures - as far as I'm aware of, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Godspeed and if you want someone to talk to, feel free to reach out (mail in profile). I'm a good listener.
This is not a surprising headline. If you have values about privacy, decency, civil discourse, honesty or integrity you wouldn’t want to work there. Also, if you feel the company was collusive or willingly complicit in the dissemination of fake news and Russian propaganda efforts during our elections, it’d be a big fat “no” to working there. And it’s not just our democracy that is undermined by FB. There’s a litany of abuses that they have either been horribly naive too or downright negligent in addressing.

If you are bright-eyed optimistic about Facebook I'd be interested to hear your counterpoint to all of the scandal. I don't think there is any company in the FAANG that is an altruistic enterprise but it isn't surprising that FB would have a decline in hiring.
"Some of these payments are applied to the principal on their loans, which increases the couple’s net worth by either building their home equity or by reducing their student debt. So that’s also savings."

I don't count paying down a debt as "savings". It might be an increase in net worth but not savings.

If paying down debt is considered "savings" now, then the entire USA is "saving money". But I think that not only goes against the definition, but the spirit of the idea.
If I only read the title, I would think the vatican had come a long way.
103,500/year on unexplained "other expenses??" Over $8,500/month?!! Which is almost double their mortgage payments Um....

Their biggest line item is completely unexplained yet they are trying to explain where their money goes?

I live a fairly indulgent life and I spend less than that on everything in a year. I can't imagine spending six figures on "misc" unless there's a lot of hookers and blow involved.

Depending on the down payment that is 1.25M home +/- 250K.

SV is huge. You can definitely get a home for that.

Note: property tax is extra.

The "safe nuclear" future is always right around the corner, yet it never arrives. There are no commercial molten salt plants and all proposed and under construction plants around the world are "old nuclear" PWRs or BWRs.
Try raising a few kids in a major city and paying private school tuition and child care fees. It easily eats up most of $500K of income.

This. I've installed it on Android just because I get a better experience with WiFi switching on when I have a poor signal. And having my SSH connection not break is nice.

One of you stay home and raise your kids; that's rather the point of getting married.

> With the upcoming summer, if we still lived in SF, we'd have four children in daycare. $6,400/mo.

If paying other people to raise your kids is even on the table, you're doing it wrong.
> 4. Official C++ extension despite being completely useless consumes several gigabytes of space for "indexed" files (I wonder if it is so bad to not hurt sales of Visual Studio).

I chuckled at this, because the implementation is actually shared between the official C++ extension and Visual Studio. That extra space usage is likely the recent addition of automatic PCH generation (to VS Code, VS has done that for a long time).

This wouldn't be a fair comparison either, unless you normalized for number of people on the journey. (As done in passenger-miles.)
It would be $200K, but 20% is a pretty standard down payment. Yes, it would take a while to save up that much, which is why housing around here isn't affordable, but it's also pretty standard.

Cool to see logpoints. In Chrome dev tools you can write console.log messages inside of a conditional breakpoint to get quick logging. You can also do any other scripting in there. I've sometimes used conditional breakpoints to assign values to variables to probe past null references and test things out...
So assign the job to people who can focus on just that; community volunteers can often do a better job than the core team for an FAQ, because they are more in touch with people new to the language are confused about than core developers with deep knowledge of everything. It will be dynamic and questions/answers will become obsolete, so that has to be handled.

(I was the G++ FAQ maintainer back in the 1990s; yes, I'm old).

I would say only for people who went to college without wealthy parents.

Being steadily employed directly out of high-school makes it much easier to obtain a mortgage and find a home in a low CoL area.

The Stadia trial convinced me that streaming is a near-term viable option. Latencies were not an issue. Bandwidth was, but when I got to play on a 50Mbps+ connection any issues I had encountered disappeared.

Moreover I was able to play a AAA title on my 2011 Macbook Air and that was fantastic.
First time I've seen it. If it weren't for this discussion, my first thought on a GI Doc might be that it's a doctor in a military zone or is otherwise related to the military.

The first 5 results on

say that it's either "Government Issue" or "General Infantry". Gastrointestinal isn't even among the results.

Google's first few results are likewise about the military.

This doesn't make any sense -- paying down debt instead of SPENDING the money increases net worth and is ultimately the same as socking money into a savings account if you're debt-free.
Anything that increases net worth, by definition, increases your net worth. That means you are using a currently surplus to pay down previous deficit.

The issue most "common people" have is they increase their debt load rather than paying it down.

VSCode v1.34 Release
As the article touches on, this seems symptomatic of two larger-scale issues - while the poll results almost certainly acted as a final straw, as it were, it is hard to imagine the same circumstances arising without the Internet's combination of dehumanization (due to pseudonymity) and echo/amplifying effects; it is far more difficult to escape a negative headspace when even on the best days you are subject to a barrage of topics you looked up on the worst - even if the topics themselves are mundane, mental associations are not to be underestimated, and it's all too easy to slip backwards.

I don't know if it's possible to fix these in current social network designs - even when linked to your actual identity, Facebook has shown a screen can still be barrier enough to encourage all sorts of awful, while the trend in tracking and topic repetition (echochamber) has only been increasing.

I hope we figure it out before the Internet gets too evil.
