And yet many days I take one of 4 bus lines (each two blocks apart, traveling in parallel) which collectively move more than 100,000 people per day.

I used to live in Lower Pacific Heights, two blocks from Van Ness, and walked ~1 mile to the Financial District every day. We regularly ate out at North Beach and Chinatown (and still do, as my office is still downtown). There may be more bars downtown and around Japantown, but the Geary corridor all the way up to 25 Ave has a far more diverse and trafficked street scene. The Judah and Irving corridors in the Inner and Outer Sunset even more so. The Mission more so still, but it's not skyscraper-urban, either.

Relative to almost any neighborhood outside San Francisco, the Outer Richmond is absolutely urban.[1] And I can say this because even though my commute takes 45 minutes (30 minutes if I drive, 15 minutes without traffic), it's about on par with almost everybody else in the city and incomparable to those living outside city limits. More concretely, the Outer Richmond has a population density of over 20,000/sq mile--not bad for a sleepy beach town of single family homes.[2] And ultimately that's what I'm getting at--we should be using objective criteria, both to describe existing situations as well as trends.

FWIW, I agree with you that zoning needs to change and that the Outer Richmond could use more density.

[1] I first moved to San Francisco in 2000. My first place was in the Outer Richmond, moving from Foggy Bottom in D.C. My roommate, from Philadelphia, used to say it was too far from downtown. Fast forward 20 years and after having lived in multiple cities and towns around the country, he told me that he changed his mind about the Richmond. His conception of what urban meant has changed, especially after he realized how difficult it was to find a job in a locale as dense as that. I also moved around a bit after that (Arlington, VA, Long Beach, New Haven, and several months in Quito and then Santiago), though I never held the opinion that the Richmond wasn't "urban" enough to be urban.

[2] Which says something about how dense cities and towns can get while still clinging to the ideal of single-family homes.
I don't know about people in general, but those I spoke to a few years before the invasion told me on numerous occasion that they would prefer that Crimea belonged to Russia, and that they would be much better off then. of course, this doesn't mean they supported the invasion in any way, it was just an opinion.

After the invasion cam ethe period of disillusionment. It turned out the situation only changed for worse. But nobody should be surprised there was practically no opposition when Russians took over Crimea.

It's not blind Europhilia. You've presented one statistic, but I can't tell if it's good or bad. Of course there will be some accidents and injuries with any mode of transport. Are the numbers for biking better than the alternatives, worse, or neutral?

One thing I've noticed is people tend to miss that cars and driving are already dangerous, and just accept that as a fact of life. Not getting enough exercise, which is a common outcome of a car-centered lifestyle, is also a long-term health risk.

But when biking, nothing less than perfectly safe is good enough. If nothing else, the better health from all that cycling exercise will cancel out some of the increased health risk from accidents.

Apparently, negative experience affects us roughly 5x more than positive experience. So if the burnout is caused by accumulation of negative experiences, then I gather, you would have to take 5x as much non-stress days than stress days.

But whether the day is stress or not depends on your emotions, not on what the day is objectively. You can have a no-stress day which is really busy or even under pressure. I had some of the most productive days at work when I was solving a critical customer issue, simply because of the excitement (you can't do that everyday, though).

Android may not have had a system wide dark mode but I could change the launcher to one that had one literally in Jellybean or earlier.

Inverted mode is not dark mode I tried it. Even at the lowest possible brightness with nightshift on iOS was still too bright for my eyes at night. Either way my switch happened before dark mode was implemented and I admitted as such. It's also a preference so I'm not sure what exactly you're defending here.
SEO should be a bridge between technical and non-technical people that build out sites.

No site's output is 100% because of the tech team - content writers can put in weird code, marketers can add all sorts of stuff to say Tag manager, the robots.txt is likely from 2008. And a site built with code as the primary goal is likely lacking in some marketing oomph somewhere.

Someone who's job it is to find the right balance, and aim to maximise the returns from the single largest source of traffic, is pretty valuable.

I unexpectedly became homeless a year ago in SF and I notice that I disappear from places as soon as I interact with someone beyond politeness, like tell them details of my situation. I avoid it but when they take interest my social programming kicks in and I feel kind of sick after. Grocery stores, cafes I go to for months never feel safe after a conversation. Sleeping without shelter is incredibly vulnurable.
Same (age) demo as you. Among my friends and expanded co-worker circle, folks with kids split ~50/50 "would prefer urban"/"would prefer suburban or country". 100% are suburban. Deciding factors? Proximity to family (all 'burbs) and/or school quality. You live in the city if you're too poor to live where the good schools are, or you're so rich you can afford very high housing costs for a good in-the-city neighborhood plus tuition for private school. Out in the country, all the schools are bad—not inner-city bad, but bad. That leaves the 'burbs.

[EDIT] I take back the 100%: a few former co-workers without kids are urban-dwellers, and exactly one who took a chance on the charter school lottery and would surely have moved out if it'd gone the wrong way.

in others. Many people, at least in my experience, myself included, have great difficulties seeing it in themselves. Reading about why you'd fire somebody (that I can identify with because of a few lines of context) can lead to questioning my behavior and/or attitude.

I don't think incompetence is rant-worthy, really. "This programmer I hired can't program, so I fired him", that's not news. "This programmer I hired can program but he doesn't share his knowledge, so he's becoming a bottleneck and single point of failure, and I cannot afford to have that, so I'm going to fire him if he doesn't change" is something else.

When I was a pre-teen/teen, I grew up in a pretty nerdy family with a scientist dad, a brother who eventually became a linguist, and stacks of Byte Magazine, Omni, Particle Physics Digest, etc. as far as the eye could see. I couldn't stomach the fantasy stuff my brother was into, and I was a bit on the technical side, so I decided my genre was Sci Fi. I followed this to the point that I felt deeply guilty for reading anything else, until one summer I found myself at a cabin somewhere with nothing to do but lay in a hammock and read Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen. Oh my God, it went down so easy compared to the Sci Fi. It really made me realize a joy in recreational reading that's stuck for 30 years. Now I'm not saying that Florida Humor Noir is right for you, but don't feel obligated to spend your summer reading something like Nudge or Crucial Conversations.

As others said the whole functionality can be implemented server side, and you can serve it as part of the HTML.

Or simply reverse proxy it and put that in an IFRAME (or use JS and lazy load it into a DIV).

The current problem is that every ad engine tracks everything they touch. Instead of tracking how well a particular ad performs on a given site. (Of course ad engines try to show ads that are relevant to the profile they built up, but since the hit rate is extremely low, most of it is just noise. Which is very annoying.)

To solve the self-reporting trust issues make the sites report each impression separately with some proxied meta data. (Which is equivalent to always reverse proxy-ing.)

Which would be a bit slower than today (because most sites are not CDNes around the world, but most ad engines are), but who cares, the megabytes of shit downloaded and running on each site slows down UX more.

It's really funny how many of the things I disliked are being fixed now. There are definitely advantages to the right person using iOS. I really enjoyed their MacBooks for a while, and the iPhone wasn't garbage, I'm just not the target audience because my use cases didn't match up with what they were providing. I'm really not sold on Safari bedding a good browser though. It was universally a bad experience every time I used it. I probably installed one of the Swype style keyboards for myself, just was something I disliked and mentioned and I'm surprised Apple hasn't built naively yet.

I really want to like Apple. I'd love to simplify my life. My wife refuses to get a MacBook because there's no touchscreen and I really can't justify the expense of an iPad with the cost for value.
No one seems to address a clear distortion of this technique, which really requires careful treatment, when considering the ramifications of research founded upon it.

The clear distortion is this: Instantiation of a "standard brain" produces a monoculture more pure and homogenous than a population of identical twins. As with any monoculture, all data is reduced very nearly to an N1 sample size, leaving populations prone to abrupt, global crashes when encountering environmental faults.

Even identical twins don't have identical fingerprints. Nor do they have identical memories. If identical twins have differentiable networks of blood vessels, then their "brainprint" will vary accordingly, for sure.

A connectome is more of a signature of averages, sure, but a computer simulation will probably only introduce artificial, pseudorandom variations of neural structure, if the implementation seeks to introduce subtle physical variations to the tissue structure at all.

Based on this intrinsic quality of practice via computer simulation, understand that running a model in a system like this could introduce unwarranted confidence in replicable results, because the model is a replica by default.

With the strongest emphasis possible: YMMV

A very good collegue of mine. He also finished vet school, went on to get a masters degree in bioinformatics and shaped up his DS/ML skills on his own time. He started in a local data analytics company and then transitioned to a full software development company where together we have brought in and started DS & ML efforts. His colourful experience definitely broadened his view and is now what I would label a senior guy and has the perspective and understanding of the business side of things.
Certainly not in the companion animal business unless you own your job. And to own your job you need more experience than the university can give you and also lots more money.

I went full-time on my own project in the edtech space this January. Citationsy is a reference management app with 140K users. While being indie is fun and profitable, I’d like to expand on my product management skills and work for a larger company. Ideally located in London but I’m pretty flexible.
It is actually straightforward. Typically, to maintain the code, you need twice as much engineers than was needed to write the original code.

Of course, you could write half the code in the first place, and then you will be safe - your engineers can maintain all the code themselves, you don't need to hire more of them.

But this strategy has no place in modern software development, where we want to move fast and break things, since we can always maintain the code later, post-IPO, with more engineers.
