>By that logic we should abandon all minimum wage and employee rights laws.

No, that's not the logic at all.

Remember, this problem is entirely local, and can't really be solved because the local politics are locked up by the local wealthy homeowners.

Minimum wage and employee rights laws are usually either state or federal (or both). But the state and federal governments here have little power to fix the Bay Area's problems, because of the way the governmental systems are structured.

Personally, I think minimum wage should be raised, and employee rights laws should be strengthened. That's government's job, to fix problems like this which hurt the lower classes. But for the Bay Area, I think they should just provide grants to help lower-income people move out of the area and relocate to cheaper places, leaving the Bay Area without any lower-class people. Then let's see how they function without any janitors or teachers.
Good point. It was my first time, and as a result was very engaged. But I could imagine as I got used to and depended on the feature, how I could lose some of that attentiveness.

It was my first experience with lane departure warnings as well which was pretty neat but soon became a small distraction. I could see myself turning that off, if it was my daily driver.

The best feature of adaptive cruise control is how it keeps you a safe distance from the car in front (about 4 seconds) - whereas if I was using my own judgement, the spacing would probably be halved.
I actually agree with you. I was being sloppy. Kindle format can work fine with photos/graphics on a tablet and even a smartphone. (I've actually come around to mostly liking eguidebooks because they're right on my phone and I don't need to xerox the relevant pages to carry around.) But, much as I like my Paperwhite, it's really just for reading text.
Minecraft is one of the few games that I think everyone should try. It's not just "another video game", but something quite unique. It hits a certain part of the brain in both "creative expression" and "exploring the unknown" that we exercise so rarely in day to day life (or in other games). It's no wonder it really sticks with kids and becomes a way for them to express imagination. Make sure you sit down and try playing with them at some point, it'll be a fun learning experience for everyone involved.
Anyone with decent opsec and pre-existing domain knowledge can easily get away with it while regular cops are watching or investigating. Yes, this is extremely terrifying. The only real deterrent is that national-security-interest-level investigators will probably take a look after any serious incident occurs, and then the perpetrator would need to have perfect opsec to remain uncaught. (And this might possibly be accomplished by never touching SDR again.)

Anyone without rudimentary opsec will likely be caught between the "shits and giggles" phase of experimentation and the "domestic terrorism" phase of doing something extremely stupid near an airport. This person will likely ask questions on a forum site that are sketchy enough that the regular hobbyists report the suspicious user. This is a pattern that repeats often: stupid criminal gets caught by talking about doing crimes, or by showing criminal behavior to non-criminals. Any crime large enough to require a conspiracy is also large enough to have a secret informant.

The biggest threat is someone with a legitimate interest in SDR, and enough skill to devise an attack unassisted, who experiences a psychological stress powerful enough to make them break, and turn against the civil order. That is extremely low probability, but still theoretically possible. People that decide to pick up a weapon and fight are likely to use what is at hand, and the expertise they already have, to attack. Everyone else in the field has a very strong interest in making sure that no one does anything overtly stupid with SDR, because even accidental missteps could ruin the profession/hobby for everyone, entire countries at a time.
Oh yeah, but I think all the wind went out of the sails after Tahrir Square.

Before, there was such optimisim about tech. Nothing could stop it. Everything would be just better.

Look, the oppressed are rising up together! Look, medicine is getting better! Look, we're talking at each other, not shooting and hurting!

The arab spring was the high point, the proofed pudding.

After the failures there, sure, yes, tech has helped, has advanced the world. But that optimisim that was in Tahrir Square never came back. FB was a way to talk with each other and be a 3rd space, now it's a Skinner box. Wikipedia was the nascent Enclycopedia Galactica, now it's just mostly good and sometimes suspicious. Google wasn't evil, now it works with China to make Orwell sigh.

Things are chugging along, yes. But before people actually thought they could change the world for the better, now tech just has mortgages.

>The point I think both of you are dancing around, but not hauling out into the light, is these platforms enable the abstraction of the techie work,

No, not the techie work. In both of my previous comments, I de-emphasized the technical reasons.

Instead, I've tried to emphasize that the killer feature of Youtube for the content creator is the simplifying of finances down to $0 costs for distributing video. Others may argue that "audience & discoverability" is equal to (or more important than) the $0 costs to distribute. That's valid as well.

Since a technical solution of self-hosted video web stack does not solve $0 distribution costs and audience reach, it is irrelevant to the discussion. (Context of discussion was parent comments by fiala__ & ralphstodomingo talking about "scale" and "discoverability".[0])

To add some counterbalance, it does not mean Youtube's "value proposition" of $0 payment for audience reach is always a good deal. An example of this is Netflix. They don't need nor want Youtube's servers to host videos.

>Creators are so dependent on not having to do the techie work,

Again, this type of statement is evidence of techies misunderstanding Youtube.

Even if the content creator hired a techie such as a webmaster to set up a self-hosted video site, it still does not solve the problem that Youtube solves.

Even if you gave a set-&-forget "video hosting web appliance" to a content creator, it still doesn't solve the same problems that Youtube solves.

In both cases of those technical solutions, you've created new problems that the content creator doesn't want to deal with!

None, if there were there, it'd be abused and shortly banned from receiving SMS messages. There are loads of black hats that would swarm to such a solution.
Does it decrease with age? Hard to say. At over 60, I think at times I'd do well to moderate my language. But is true that what once seemed liberating can become tedious. The word that perks up the message when used occasionally bores when it appears in every other sentence.

Yes, in general one tries to keep language G-rated around children.
It's a lot like the freemen-on-the-land folks. People think, against all evidence, that the law is a mindless machine, a slave to its inputs, unaffected by the human beings who actually administer it. They think you can hack the law by saying the right magic words, like Captain Kirk crashing an evil computer by saying "this sentence is false."

It doesn't work that way. If you try to buy 50 grams of coke off an undercover cop, no jury on earth is going to believe that you thought you were buying Coca-Cola. You're not going to get away with using a slang term universally understood to mean "me" and claiming it meant "someone else," either.
I really like the idea, but what would be really valuable to me is filtering by does the company use trivia problems like leetcode.com or does it use real world scenarios.

As a seasoned developer, I always have to practice those types problems before interviewing for a new position. It's a complete waste of time as they don't represent actual development work.
I don't see the dong... but I'm too afraid to google "Slack dong".
That's what I'm using. A central machine (that has an output to main audio system), with it being controllable from anywhere using various MPD clients. I tried to go the streaming route with MPD to enable music to be played in multiple rooms, but it was very finicky and susceptible to network problems. Instead, another output of the main machine goes to an FM transmitter, and any other audio system can pick it up. The sound quality is not pristine, but it's acceptable. Music in any room, all properly synced and centrally controllable.
It won't be CA that goes to the bottom, just the Bay Area. LA and SD and Fresno and even Sacramento don't have the same problems.

I'm not a Minecraft player, but if the intent here really allows you to build your own virtual community together (to see what others are building around you and contribute, etc) that would be pretty fun to play. If you want a bigger screen go to a tablet (spurring a new market for tablet easels I guess)?

Who wouldn't want to put a fortress around your house that everyone on the "inside" could see?

This could also be a pretty great starting application for AR goggles, Magic Leap, HoloLens, etc. Kinda pricey to play Minecraft but bootstrapping via phones isn't a terrible idea and would get the tech in the hands of more people.

All of this is clearly an optimistic interpretation of what could happen, but good on them for trying something ambitious. I hope it jumpstarts the AR future we've all been promised.
In criminal conspiracies, we routinely hold all members responsible for the actions of individuals. If you and I rob a bank and I shoot the guard, you can be held responsible for my violence, even if you were just sitting in the car waiting to drive us away.

Fastly's stock opens 34% above its IPO price, then keeps rising
There's something like 200,000 Teslas on the road vs. over 250,000,000 "non-autopilot" vehicles. You can't make a straight up comparison with numbers like that without weighting them accordingly.

Though I'm not sure you could compare them really at all in this specific case regarding the autopilot. I'm not sure how many of the traditional vehicle fatalities involve someone flipping on their cruise control and taking their hands off the wheel and ignoring the road in the same manner that the autopilot fatalities seem to have occurred.
This makes a lot of sense, and is actually seen a lot in the wild. Having control feels good for us, and I would argue that's probably why there is such a visceral response to drunk drivers---they're not in control. You can empathize with a mistake, but something just sort of happening with no real impact or control over it feels wrong.

That being said, I'm on board with the self driving cars, we should approach it with a logical head and really try to figure out what we should do, not what feels good.

You were responding to someone who referred to “Microsoft Windows”, so you will find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste... educational. Even with the attempt to broaden it, your first sentence is only true if you add a qualifier like “in Enterprise IT environments” — Office is the area where they're still most dominant but even there has seen a big shift away from tasks which would have been done in Office in the late-90s/early-2000s but are now using web / mobile apps.

Isn't one of the "secrets" to AMD's post-486 success adopting the general approach the Pentium Pro took along with others in the 1990s, which in turn are based on IBM's 1960s Tomasulo out-of-order algorithm adding speculative execution? This general approach made all out-of-order speculative designs, including ARM, POWER and IBM Z vulnerable to Spectre, so I submit they're not "completely different".
Designing Far Memory Data Structures: Think Outside the Box
There had always been a subjective element in the form of essays and recommendations.

Seems like this adversity score is a way to quantify some of the factors that might have previously been found by other, more subjective means.
They don't matter. It's a belief among the commoners that criminals can be traced by performing magical CSI rituals over the serial numbers. So if you are building a plausible parallel construction, you might say you traced the serial numbers.
I hear you, I'm Swedish as well and been hearing people talking about this since my birth (if not earlier).

However, seems they are getting closer at finding out. The article contains:

> In February of this year, the latest lead investigator appeared on Swedish television and, with astonishing confidence, promised to give the public a solution within the next few years. Caution is advisable; this possibility has been teased many times before.

But as mentioned, not the first time someone says that. Also, have not been living in Sweden for the last couple of years, so don't know more about the situation then outlined in the submission article.

Edit: my vote goes to Christer Pettersson being who he said he was, would not surprise me. Pretty fun to read about the different theories as well, some are listed here (for the english readers) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Olof_Palme#Mu...
But remember that Fungibility is relative because digitally the movement of USD is traceable. And all physical USD are marketed with serial numbers. Money laundering is a huge part of the financial system where $100 will be sold for $50 for the purpose of obtaining "clean" money, or where vast amounts of artificial work is expended for the purpose of funnelling cash into the mainstream. Thus $100 is not always worth $100.
I do the opposite, I release my books for free for a few days and then put the price I want to.

Agree with feedback, would be a great motivation to receive positive comments and a chance to improve if it is critical. With novels, we generally leave a rating and possibly a review on goodreads/amazon/etc but with self-published route, that isn't an option.

Genetics is an extremely fun topic but the learning curve for entry has been non-trivial. It reminds me of the struggles I had when I was first learning to program recursive functions. With that said, it's been far, far more complicated than recursion. So, thank you for the resource, I'm always happy to find content sources that are helpful on the subject. If you enjoy hard CS problems, bioinformatics has been booming and I don't really see it slowing down anytime soon.

As for some resources, these books have been the most helpful for me.

CDs are so cheap these days, and Amazon has AutoRip for many albums and will retroactively add it if you bought it from them and they add it to Amazon Music later.

Did you read this part of the article?

"The rating will not affect students’ test scores, and will be reported only to college admissions officials as part of a larger package of data on each test taker."

Do what you want, but it doesn't seem like this will be any different from writing about adversity in an application essay. Schools can choose how much they want to weigh the score.

Such a choice might get you removed as emperor of the world -- the number related of engineering, scientific, and medical errors might be high. Generations of scientists would remember such an emperor, but not in a positive light.

I share your consternation with the kilogram's name, but it is almost as fundamental to our units as Franklin's implicit, and perhaps unfortunate, choice to call the charge of the electron negative.

Furthermore, the pound is a unit of force. One can find locations (poles and equator) on Earth's surface where the measured weights of an object can differ by at least 0.5% [1], making any definition of mass based upon weight troublesome.

Paris has an especially exceptional transit system. When you leave your current city, consider another city that once hosted the Olympics recently. They tend to be easy to get around without a car.
When you said “this is a known low priority” I thought you were referring to the false police reports. I guess you were referring to a bug in a computer system? I’m not talking about bugs. At some point, someone had to inform the police that these cars were “stolen.” Either someone involved in that process negligently failed to make damned well sure the car was really stolen before making the report, or someone elsewhere in the company negligently failed to design a process where people would do this.

Mistakes do happen. If this was a one-off, or even a two or three-off, I could buy that. But at some point on your way to thirty false arrests, it stops being a regular mistake and starts being negligence. You can blame a computer glitch a couple of times, but after that it becomes your fault for trusting the known-glitchy computer.

Stop watching videos or reading about games. Recognize when the game developer has engineered the game to get you stuck into a feedback loop of repeating the same activities for changing some numbers (level, gear, loot, etc.) A hint is games where top players talk about 'endgame' content. In pre-internet gaming days the game would be done at that point. Check if you are actually having fun and getting enjoyment out of it or are just doing things to "keep up with the Joneses".

Break your side project down into much smaller tasks so you can get those quick dopamine hits like you do with gaming. Keep breaking the larger efforts into much smaller tasks. If something has a barrier to it, create a task which eliminates the barrier. Always be thinking "what is the next step to make progress?" The tasks should be trivial to get progress going. It should feel good to make progress, build upon that with more small tasks.
I totally agree. I don't know anything about the details of this proposal so I can't speak to those specifically, but I don't see how it would be anything other than a slam-dunk to make it easy for people educated in the US to stay in the US. They are very likely to be higher-skilled and economically stable, and have already spent years assimilating.

The only people I can imagine who would be against this are corporate interests, who can use visas to enforce a kind of indentured-servitude over high-skilled workers seeking residency in the current system. But given the way the economic winds are blowing, I don't see how the US is going to compete in the future if they don't try to keep all the talent in the country they can.
On the other hand, I feel like some people have internalized this idea a bit too well, and apply it in places it doesn’t belong, becoming offended (for social-norm-violation reasons) when someone gives a tangential reply in a threaded comment system like HN’s or Reddit’s, because the tangent is “derailing the conversation” or “not addressing the topic.”

Except, of course, that’s impossible; a tangential reply likely won’t even be the first reply people see in the sub-thread, after they get re-sorted by vote, so the only people who will engage with it are the people who never cared about the original topic in the first place.
> I honestly find Spotify and Apple Music bad for music discovery if your tastes aren't really adjacent to Top 40 (is that even a thing today?) style pop music.

I strongly disagree. Spotify has dramatically increased the variety of music that I listen to and introduced me to lost of tiny artists with great music.

I'm looking at the official chart top 40 online and have to go down to 7th place to find an artist I know (Taylor Swift). Only one song on my "Release Radar" is in the Top 40 list (Sixteen by Ellie Goulding).

I think you get what you look for with Spotify. If you listen to a bunch of Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, you'll be recommended a things like Aria Grande and AVICII. But if you listen to An Horse and Houndsmouth then you'll aparently get recommendations for The Mountain Goats and Me Not You.

I pass by Adolf Fredrik Church, where he is buried, each day.

It was sad to see two people guarding his tomb all day, even in the rain, in the day that commemorates his dead.

I have also read a book about his assassination that I will recommend to skip and read about his ideas instead.

It will be better to share his ideas than to focus on his death. I think that his world view is more needed now than ever.

I wonder if you can choose the block size to make your creations look more realistic?
With all of the controversy around generics, this is one area where Go is really hurt. The language provides the building blocks for concurrency, but they still need to be assembled into something larger. There are examples of good concurrency patterns, but the language doesn't provide the tools to reuse them. Everyone is left to implement them over and over.
