This was super stressful to follow along the whole path in the legislature. We turned out some YIMBY's to meet our state rep here in Bend to support it back in... January I think it was. It kept going in fits and starts, and really came down to the wire today, with a failing vote before it went up again and passed, before the legislative session expired.

I'm happy to have played a very small part... our Republican state senator was one who voted in favor; maybe our calls and emails had a positive effect.

Hats off to the people in the legislature and some of the advocacy groups around Oregon like "1000 friends of Oregon" who worked really hard to get this through.

iOS is very, very particular about what gets to run in the background. This is a major differentiating factor between iOS and Android. On Android, it's easy to write apps to run in the background, but on the flip side it's easy for someone else's app to accidentally (or intentionally) run in the background and suck up your battery and/or data and making your phone slow. On iOS, apps can only run in the background for very specific (but gradually expanding) purposes; many other features (like push notifications) that appear to be "background" functions are really handled by Apple or the iOS system itself with minimal app intervention and thus minimal system impact. This contributes to the snappiness of iOS.

Because this requires more digging: the detailed specs come from UNECE Regulation 138 which can be found at https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs...

The relevant parts are 6.2.1.2 and the table in 6.2.8, and they lay out a minimum sound level of 56dB(A) at 2m distance to the car (PP' line, as defined in the appendix to Annex 3) at 20km/h, that must be spread out over two of the bands in the table (at least one <= 1600Hz)

In other tables on the net, I get 50dB as the "minimum street noise", 70dB for a car at 10m distance and 45-60dB for a quiet-to-normal conversation at 1m distance. 56dB at 2m still seems relatively muted in that context.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "even though we're on different teams we're all on the same team". The visceral reaction to his protest proves that out.

Apple appears to hate torrents and basically any torrent-related app because I guess they enable piracy. They're not wrong - that would be the #1 use of any torrent app - but I do find that restriction repressive.

That said, many torrent servers support a web-based interface which you should be able to control easily with Safari. If you need something more custom, there's plenty of good SSH clients on the App Store and most will support fancy screen/tmux/TUI interfaces so you can control your command-line torrent client.

And, well, there's always the option of slapping something together with Python, using the Pythonista app; if the protocol is popular odds are someone's written a Python package to interact with it, at which point you just have to decide how much of a GUI (or TUI) you want to put on it.

I don't see that follows. The flood of OO languages in the early 90's went hand in hand with a very broad reorientation of the way design was done. That that had bad side effects isn't really a rejection of the fact that OO design really was a fundamentally different way of thinking about problems, and languages that supported it syntactically were doing so to enable this paradigm shift. That's not really "fashion" in the sense that I meant.

On the flip side, the modern language zeitgeist isn't really trying to change things in fundamental ways, except to say "don't do bad OO". But you don't need to reject OO syntax and features (c.f. polymorphism above) to reject bad OO. That part is fashion.

Of all healthcare dollars spent, what percentage are these kind? 20%?
From the first google result I came across, "A typical fridge of about 400-500 litres can use around 495kWh of electricity each year".

So what you are talking about is very atypical result.

My phone has a 4Ah battery, which typically would last me two days. Since it runs at 5V, that's 0.02*182 = 3.65kWh per year. So it's 136 times less than the typical fridge.

My phone would also be heating the house with it's inefficiency.
I've thought about this, and unfortunately with mobile data caps the way they are, a phone isn't a great torrent client (well, unless you have effectively an unlimited-speed unlimited-bandwidth connection, which no US carrier offers). Connected to WiFi, the situation's better, but you're probably going to get better speeds from a computer, and if you're going to do serious amounts of torrenting a VPS torrentbox (controllable via any SSH app or web UI) is probably just a superior option anyway.
Can you also relate the median wage in Croatia ? And how much taxes are taken by socialistical system on the salary ?

I can understand the surprise of this person to discover that 36$ is not much compared to what she could expect in America for similar treatment.

Most of american i meet are very surprised by the price of healthcare in France too, but they tend to forget that State is taking aroung 60% of income.

As i am my own boss in a IT consultant job, in France, for 4500euros net (4325 euros on my private bank account), i will spend around 9000 euros from my company (4325 transfered on my private bank account, and 4675 on monthly taxes like healthcare, unemployement care, retirement care....).

And on those 4325euros monthly, i will be also taxed at end of year depending on my total yearly income and my family situation (married, single, children or not...).

So basically i should earn 9000x12= 108000 euros per year , but in reality i get 4325x12= 51900 euros per year (minus private taxes like house taxes, and final income taxes which is around 3000/year). So my real earning is around 48900euros yearly.

I also forget that i will have to pay a private supplementary healthcare insurance, cause on those 36$, State will just reimburse me 21$, so private insurance costs more than 100euros/month to sometime get those remaining 15euros back.

So 48900 euros/year for a 40yo IT guy, working in devops (married and father of two )...ask yourself why all young talents in France are going to work in Silicon Valley... This is not even the wage of an internship at google or faceboo

Writing good tests is not easy. It's an important skill that not everybody has. In some industries, where you write safety critical software, you actually need more experience before you are allowed to work unsupervised as a tester. The testers I've worked with also had a say in the design of the software and were allowed to veto architectural decisions for being too hard to test.

So please don't look down on people writing tests. Quality assurance is what makes software suck less.
Wow I totally forgot I had this done to me as a freshman in high school by an older kid who claimed he had practiced it at his martial arts class. Interesting experience - kind of psychedelic and dream like. Heard music and saw weird dancing elephant visuals. Woke and was extremely confused - completely forgot what I had agreed to. Apparently I was sort of shaking and seizing for some amount of seconds.

Glad I wasn’t killed now that I think about it. Definitely would chalk it up to curiosity and a bit of peer pressure.
It's not housing that is the issue. It's mental health and substance abuse, but it's easier to decry lack of affordable housing than it is to face the tough choices we must face when it comes to treatment that will arrest the flow of those on the path to homelessness.

That said if Utah, particularly SLC is struggling, you would never know it. By what I see here then just about every other moderate to large city in all the west is doing far, far worse. Even places like Idaho seem to have greater issues than what I've seen here.

Let me remind you that all of the people who canonized Muhammad Ali after he died as a “great American” were probably calling him a trader when he refused to fight in Vietnam. I bet a lot of people found it “offensive” when he said “ain’t no VietCong ever called me a n”
You can always keep yourself warm by adding layers, but it's hard to look professional beyond a certain point. It helps somewhat if the clothing matches the weather, but I find it's often colder in offices during summer due to AC.
This is a fantastic step towards affordable housing. We need more state-level interventions like these to remove the hurdles that impede building new housing. I hope that government officials in California follow a similar path.

The only sustainable way to affordable housing is to make market rates affordable.
I just got back from Bali, Indonesia where one of my friends crashed a scooter, the total bill for two ambulance rides, urgent care, hospital, and scooter repair was around Rph 10,000,000 which is $700 in round numbers

Some of this can be accounted for by cost of living differences - $3 an hour would be a good income in Bali, you can eat a reasonable meal for $2 even in a touristic area

Some can be accounted for by the rather more minimal service that was received compared to an American ER, and certainly my friend will need further treatment in the US, they stabilized a broken arm, but didn't set it

In my opinion you should not curse as a manager in a serious meeting.

For eg:
"The quality of this code can be improved" vs
"This fucking code has to be corrected" or

very simple statements like:

"what is this"? vs "what the fuck is this"

The tone by adding one curse word changes from inquisitive to condescending and intimidating.

So never use curse words for serious things.

However, after a certain period of time when you're familiar with the environment and people you may joke and curse while having a casual chit-chat.

As for the problem now, as this is a small company have an informal meeting and sort this out and apologize if needed(use humor if you're good at it to make all this less uncomfortable)!
If it's really just a transfer, then I'd expect less than $100, and it's paid to the registrar, not Grubhub, so it's not quite blackmail.

I always thought watersheds were a great way of defining state-level regions. They're more stable than boundaries set by rivers, and are more natural than arbitrary lines of latitude/longitude. In the (near) future, there's going to be a lot of hand wringing over who has what rights to which water. The only way to completely solve it is to have one region be in control of the entire course of the water's flow.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/11/19/m...

Granted, redrawing the map based on watershed doesn't solve India's problem. But, it sounds like that in the future their drinking water is going to come from careful management of groundwater, which will require a lot of state level agreements. Right now, I'm not optimistic those agreements will happen smoothly.
So you acknowledge that infrastructure in fact can be updated. What's bothering you then?

From what I know, the government's involvement into ICANN had been controversial because it is the US government, not because there was public oversight.

With ICANN's decisions having consequences for internet users all over the world, the right path IMO would have been to move oversight to some international body.

Treating it like just another californian company and removing any oversight was a step in exactly the wrong direction.
Why haven't they simply rezoned some areas to allow higher density housing? This sort of blanket change doesn't grant much control on which zone should increase density.
The qbits and unitaries don't have to be perfect - it's about how things scale when you add qbits. Quantum error correction shows that you can add more qbits to make up for imperfection, and still be left with a quantum computer, i. e. the imperfection hasn't demoted the thing to a classical computer.

Of course they haven't built one yet, but none of the difficulties encountered so far have involved discovering new physics, which is what you would need to do to rule out quantum computers since the laws of physics as currently understood permit them.

Portland's mass transit is a joke (I can bike downtown end-to-end faster than MAX can crawl through it) and so people have no choice but to drive.

Or, obviously, bike.
It's typically easier to park a bike than a car - it takes up less space. So you might kill two birds with one stone.
Yes, that's why we need to get more bang out of the same land.
Disclosure: I don't live in Portland. I live in Sydney, which has a much higher population and much higher real estate prices. The population density is hard to compare, since Sydney has a very large and sprawling metropolitan area of 4,775.2 square miles.
The first thing I think of when I read this is that while this kind of development may superficially look to benefit those looking to purchase property, urban consolidation will benefit property developers much more so than consumers. Sydney is undergoing considerable urban consolidation and we're hardly seeing any reduction in property value at all. We've seen all manner of predatory practices on behalf of property developers occurring in this city to ensure that the price is kept artificially high. One practice that is all too common is developers buying up property and only releasing it onto the market slowly to maximise commercial gain, as ridiculous as it sounds, anecdotally this is quite common.
I wouldn't celebrate just yet.
Fun Fact: Some carrier throttling works by throttling packets with an unexpected TTL. Android has a default TTL of 64.

You most certainly shouldn't set the default TTL of a tethered device to 65, because then your carrier may fail apply proper limits to that traffic.
I think about this often from the perspective of my job in tech. I just started taking action by getting plugged in with the Citizen's Climate Lobby (https://citizensclimatelobby.org/) which are actually making a difference where it matters, and need volunteers. Take a look? They have weekly intro sessions to get you set up with taking meaningful action.
Turns out that the people that can afford $500k but not $600k are people, and they will be helped by this.

Higher densities will enable more efficient public transit, greatly helping our environment, and helping people get their commutes back under control.

Also helped will be future generations that will get to live in denser communities, with more neighbors and more kids that their children and be friends with.

And of course it will help in the walkable neighborhoods to give more people access to them.

And I think you under estimate the ability of more duplexes to moderate the most exploitive aspects of the housing markets. In demand, high expense areas have prices that rise spectacularly, turning every single family home owner into a speculator.

Ironically, developers of duplexes and fourplexes are not speculators, certainly not to any degree that the homeowning residents are. Developers perform a service, enable more people to live in a place. The residents just get to benefit from others' hard work at making an area more desirable.
