This seems worrying. Some years ago, there were similar stories, but on investigating it seemed to me that what was happening was that adolescents were reaching the adult suicide rate at an earlier age. That's not necessarily something to worry about - if they grow up faster (and why not?), it's unfortunate but inevitable that they will get the downsides of adulthood along with the upsides.

But the story says that "Among teens 15 to 19, the suicide rate was 8 per 100,000 people in 2000 and then increased to 11.8 per 100,000 in 2017. Among young adults 20 to 24, the suicide rate was 12.5 per 100,000 people in 2000 and then rose to 17 per 100,000 in 2017". So the 15-19 year-old's suicide rate increased to about the old 20-24 year-old's rate, while the 20-24 year-old's suicide rate went even higher.

It would be good to know the rates at finer age bins, though, since there is a significant change in life after high school, and then after college (for those to attend), which might help identifying the problems.

They found that in a racemic mixture, an excess of D or L amino acids results in longer, sturdier polymers that don't break down as readily when exposed to hazards such as hydrogen peroxide, and that amino acids delivered by meteorites were slightly biased towards being L and thus catalyzing longer D nucleotide sequences.
A few weeks ago when I was searching for signs of cycloids hiding in nature, I came across scanned images of this obscure 1997 paper by Harvey A Jetmore Jr: "An Hypothesis of Antinomy [0]" Parts [1] and [2]. One idea that jumped out at me is Jetmore's hypothesized possible relationship between the cycloid, life and the helix, which he summarizes in Part 1: 8 and 9...

8. I can not ignore the possible relationship of the
inorganic and organic rhelms suggested by the transition of
cycloidal to helical motion, whether the vining of the
morning glory or the DNA helix. Could it be that evolution is
a function of the relative cycloidal curvature of space;
location in time on the brachistocrone, so to speak,
ie: that evolution is a sort of continuous creation?

9. It is tempting to suggest that the material world is the
rehlm of the curate cycloid from the limit of the common
cycloid to the limit of the circle. and that;
energy (waves) is the rehlm of the prolate cycloid from the
limit of the common cycloid to the limit of the line, and
that; the limit of the point/center/axis is the rehlm of the
V-oid and the black hole: and that;
the inorganic world of life is the rhelm of the helix.

BEAST seems to work though. NYC is amazingly affordable given its population size and economic success. By building skyscrapers everywhere in Manhattan they seem to have made nearby places like New Jersey eminently affordable.
I knew Boeing people who came back with a raise under similar circumstances. Charge them extra for the honor, and reward yourself with something nice at the end. This is bonus money after all.

The binge-purge cycle at these places is not how I think things should be run, but I expect Congress is somewhat to blame for the cycling.
Not being able to generate debt denominated in Bitcoins is a design goal, and I feel, possibly a good one (if too idealistic).

Fractional reserve banking lends too much power in to the hands of those who control the process. Fractional reserve is impossible in Bitcoins (unless you trust the word of the other party). This doesn't mean loans or debt can't exist, but it is not denominated in Bitcoins, but just as records on paper. And you also cannot loan out Bitcoins you don't own (nor loan out nonexistent Bitcoins like you could with fiat). This leads to more responsible lending, and cuts speculative gambling with assets. I think in the long run, this is a good thing (even though it would hurt in the short term).

If you did this it was likely the result of a valid cost/benefit analysis, yes? Let’s assume so - and that your cloud journey wasn’t just done to send your CTO to speak at a conference.

So if the savings in time to market/cost/whatever truly justified moving to AWS, does it matter that Amazon comes to town?

In other words, consider: if you did the analysis and saw the potential benefit but decided not to move to AWS due to the risk of feeding the beast, what happens when Amazon still enters your product space? You’re still gonna have to fight them, but you just gave up months or years of cost savings or product features or whatever other positive you identified that could’ve improved your position in the market.
Pre-tax transport benefit plans at the federal level have had equivalent transit/parking amounts since 2016; not that the city has much control over that.

NYC's own pre-tax program explicitly doesn't include parking. It's also probably worth mentioning that the city has a tax on off-street parking at 18.375% in Manhattan.

My understanding is they test all the CPUs and differentiate them by the test results - you might have four of eight cores sitting there unused that are fine most of the time but have some weird edge case, so they disable the four for QC purposes and sell it as a lower end processor. It's not quite the same as locking them down just to sell them as a lower end unit, they'd rather it worked perfectly and sell it at the higher end.

Unless you're talking about Intel's "upgradeable" processors [1] which you could pay more to unlock performance (but that was unlocking more L1 cache, not cores AFAIK)

I understand that you're optimizing for curiosity, but I feel that on some issues that this goal should take a backseat. For instance, I don't think that optimizing for curiosity would be a particularly convincing defense for a popular science type magazine that refused to publish letters to the editor/articles related to the situation in Germany in the early 1930s.

Nevertheless, I understand that this is a subjective issue--there is room for argument on whether allowing such discussions here would have any real world benefit anyway, so thank you very much for the transparency.

It's gonna be a zero economy in more than one way, all right.

This is both sad and laughable at the same time. Deadbeat states are already suffering from an exodus of taxpayers. How these clowns think this is going to work?

Why on earth would anyone stay on in NY when they can take a short car ride or flight and get more value for their money?

The ultimate goal of environmental fanatics is to realize a government-controlled environment in which private sector works with and for the government (fascism)
Driving is also heavily subsidized by the fact that much of the cost of driving is externalized. When someone drives the fumes coming out of their car damage the health of everyone around them, that cost is paid for by everyone and not just the person driving so there is very little incentive to stop doing it.

I certainly don't want to encourage any sort of toxicity like this. I will say, however, that I recently started a new job. People haven't been particularly welcoming so far but I finally managed to bond with someone over a discussion of the skill gap that exists between some of the employees and the lack of quality code produced by a few of the stubborn veterans.

It wasn't just a bonding experience either. I was able to learn more about the nature of the organization and how I can help to improve things in the future. It also had a calming effect because I was originally pretty intimidated by some of these veterans but now I know they're just flawed humans like the rest of us.
This cite has them at 873B of net exports with about 200B in petroleum imports in 2017:

https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/chn/

The net exports decreased to about 500B for 2018. I can't seem to find a dollar figure for 2018 oil but I've seen articles saying imports are up 10% by volume. So total petroleum imports are less than half of their net export amount. Meaning that they could triple their petroleum imports and still be a net exporter.

I have everything delivered to a locker that's 5 minutes away from me, and I work from home. Prime has been a big factor in me not driving 30 miles every time I need to buy a one-off part for some project I'm doing for work.

Since I started using Amazon it's gotten really hard for me to justify driving to a place like Fry's because they almost never have exactly what I need, and usually what they do have is hot garbage. The resellers on Amazon frequently stock exactly what I need at pretty good prices and I can usually get it same day or next day. And if I need a technical book or something I usually buy it off Amazon too because other than maybe the university library(10 miles away) there's nobody who stocks the kind of books I need to do my job.

Most of the stuff I get from Amazon I can probably get from Digikey or Mouser as well. I usually only order from Digikey when I need a very specific part. Amazon is where I order things like bulk LEDs, resistors, solderable breadboards, wire, and other consumables. And usually they have a great selection of tools as well.

Most people including me don't mind having to drive places, but there actually are a lot of places where you can walk to businesses if you live there. I'd rather have a more private house surrounded by forest on all sides.

You don't need a bikeshare if you have space to store your own bike. Teenagers can get a license at 16, ride bikes around, walk around, use skateboards, lots of options, but I don't see the big deal about getting rides from their parents sometimes. I don't think carbon use of individuals is much of a concern, with mpg getting better all the time and electric vehicles getting more popular.

I don't know anything about clubbing scenes but there probably are some. There are small cities like Poughkeepsie interspersed with the more suburban and rural areas around there. Quick google search shows some nightclubs exist. I could ask you about the availability of a bunch of things the city might lack too like places like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnewaska_State_Park_Preserve

Maybe there are single room apartments around, I haven't checked, but there are definitely some small ones with a few rooms that probably cost a lot less than a single-room in a city anyway. Yes it's possible to rent, do you really think people don't rent outside the city? Honestly I think it's a problem, too much real estate is snatched up by people who then rent it out, making homeownership less available.

What do you mean by cultural center? There are bus stops around of various degrees of private or subsidized, with routes either within the city areas of Poughkeepsie etc or farther-reaching.

24 hour services are less than a city but they're still there. Wal Mart, Dunkin Donuts, various liquor stores, lots of stuff is 24 hours out there.

I went to school with Daniel at Illinois, we were in the ECE program at the same time and took classes together (with other HN readers, surely).

I dispute all posts saying "the sentence is too harsh" and that this was "a genuine accident." This person is dangerous and willfully endangered others in his pursuits.

This type of "accident" would not happen "in normal circumstances" because there is no normal circumstance in which your employer intentionally masks your location and forces you to defecate into a bucket in the basement of their own home.

Personally I believe Daniel used the investment he made in the victim's company to manipulate him into this situation.

From my POV it was only a matter of time that he did something that resulted in serious harm. It is terribly unfortunate that someone had to lose their life before he was able to get help for his mental illness.

I do not have an axe to grind against him personally, nor do I lack empathy for the mentally ill. But for those quick to jump to the other side, you should know what the experience is like living near someone in this circumstance. It is quite viscerally terrifying, to the extent that I have made no public comments about this for fear of retribution on his part despite the fact he'll be separated from society for quite some time.
You have the right idea but the wrong enemy here.

Local governments love adding corporations. They pay taxes while using few resources. So corporate campuses get approved super easily - sometimes even with tax breaks!

New housing on the other hand is fought against tooth and nail because it brings new residents that require roads, services, and schools. Worse, if all the land has been used up, it requires larger buildings to be built where there used to be smaller houses and commercial strips which upsets local residents with voting power. Local governments sometimes even make residential developers pay extra taxes or make mandatory donations to the community.

It's these local city governments like Palo Alto and Mountain View that allowed Google to massively expand without also allowing developers to build housing to support the employees for that expansion. Hence, why Google is spending its own capital just to get some units built.

Also not sure the easiest way to load Zork.

It’s a good warm up question because pretty much any answer is right, and it quickly lets the candidate get to their comfort zone. It is also amenable to be simplified or tweaked - if the candidate doesn’t know much about CDNs or layer 7 load balancing or whatever, you just move past them. And you can change some of the parameters to be sure the candidate isn’t just memorizing the answer sheet.

It can also give a strong signal where the candidate’s knowledge is weak: if you talk to me at length about Apache throwing read syscalls to pull files from the disk but quickly gloss over the networking bits, that might indicate you don’t know them well.
