"Production outages" aren't something we have to worry about; we don't run a service and once something is working on a customer site, they basically don't tinker around with the configuration or setup. They just use it. But there have certainly been projects that massively overran because the estimates assumed that pieces that already existed were understood and reliable (sometimes they were reliable; they reliably did something, we just thought they were meant to do something else).

This happens less now that we assume any existing piece that we don't know about already will turn out to be a minefield.
That is not just wrong, but the opposite of what this law does. Since new properties have no rent control for 15 years, during any periods where market rates might reasonably be predicted to rise that much faster than the PCI, new property would be a more valuable investment than existing property (and churn in the rental market would increase as more evictions become profitable.)

You can verify some of this by examining a lot of the running memory bloat in https://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe (official diagnostics tool by sysinternals, a microsoft subsidiary), just make sure to elevate to see full process info with 'show details on all processes'.

On my machine a bunch of UWP apps are loaded passively in the background. A few are UWP apps I use occasionally, a few aren't. I don't know what heuristic they use for this. You might look at that and go - hey, wasted memory and CPU! However:

These apps are fully suspended, so they can't use any CPU at all. You can observe this in the procexp CPU column. Because they are fully suspended the OS can also instantly evict them when it detects memory pressure, similar to how the page caching system in OSes retains cached file contents in scratch memory to speed up I/O - if the memory used for caching files is needed for applications, the cache will be evicted to make space. Cortana, for example, is using 180mb of RAM for me right now but it is fully suspended so it can be evicted immediately to make room for another app. The upside is that when I hit start and begin typing Cortana search responds immediately.

The downside to this automatic eviction setup for background apps is that they will show up in memory usage statistics even though they're not really tying up that memory. It makes your system's available RAM a bit misleading. There are other modern apps that also respond to memory pressure - I believe Firefox will automatically compact its memory, you can manually trigger that in about:memory to see what it does.

I can also confirm that increasing the amount of RAM in my machine increased how much of it Windows was willing to use for preloading apps and caching pages, but I feel like that's not surprising.
Amusingly, Raj Chetty himself has excellent genetics and inherited his ability. He is from an extremely high achieving family as the article states: "In 1962, Anbu married Veerappa Chetty, a brilliant man from Tamil Nadu whose mother and grandmother had sometimes eaten less food so there would be more for him. Anbu became a doctor and supported her husband while he earned a doctorate in economics. By 1979, when Raj was born in New Delhi, his mother was a pediatrics professor and his father was an economics professor who had served as an adviser to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi"

Also from the article, in keeping with tradition, he married a member of his own caste, the Chettiar. Caste is observably a system for implementing a eugenics program, of which Raj Chetty is a prime example of success. And of course he's continuing the tradition: "[his wife] Sundari is a stem-cell biologist"
How did your parents start with $0 but get "lucky" enough to work their way up some kind of occupational ladder to the point where they could live in a home and have 3 cars?

Why aren't those same opportunities available for everybody in your opinion? They were available for your parents.
I know a lot of people like this. A lot! And they are not traditionally dumb either (about other things).

It's amazing; it's like they are under some kind of spell and can't see right before their eyes, just when it comes to this.

Frugality and being content with what you have goes a long way. People should stop comparing themselves to other people.

That explosive emotional combination of greed and envy is behind so many bad financial decisions.
There's a difference between "all I'd need to do to put a thousand or more dollars aside each month is to not party hard each weekend" and "all I'd need to do to put a thousand or more dollars aside each month is to not pay rent or not buy food" though, isn't there?

I completely agree and I actually said in the “unlikely event”, but that doesn’t negate the fact that having a lime of business that isn’t profitable doesn’t help the company from a decreased risk stand point.

It does appear that anti-cancer effects have been discovered in research in both Fenbendazole [0][1][2], the treatment that he used, as well as related anti-helmintics like Flubendazole [3], specifically when paired with certain vitamins like Vitamin E rather than when administered alone.

Flubendazole’s particularly interesting as it’s already FDA-approved for human use.

"Egregiously" is interesting. Your definition matches my OED. But "egregious" also has the original meaning from Latin "egregius" which is literally something that stands out from a flock (for example of sheep), hence remarkably good.

"University" is another confusing derivation. It's common to ascribe it to classical Latin "universitas" which means "universe" and implies a university teaches all things. Actually though the OED, the Cambridge Medieval History, and Wikipedia agree that when first applied in the middle ages "universitas" had the meaning of society or guild and applied to the faculty plus students of institutions like Bologna or Padua. [1]

At the risk of flogging a dead horse it's all egregiously confusing. I think I got that right.

The article was about how exposes describing Amazon warehouses as urine soaked hellscapes were gross, fantastical exaggerations and the vast majority of employees are in reality happy working there.

In regards to all of the anti-union stuff, that is an entirely separate issue and unrelated to the article. You can hold two ideas in your head at once - that Amazon is a safe, decent place to work while understanding that Amazon, and nearly all major corporations, prefer their workers are not unionized. I think the article was a great explanation as to why Amazon warehouses are actually nice places to work, which is the opposite of nearly all other commentary. I like the counterpoint!

I used to not really understand the point of Cortana. Typing on a phone sucks, so I only used my phone's voice assistant when I wanted to search a moderately-long series of words or something.

But then I realized typing on a computer also sucks. And then I realized that there's no voice-to-text software available for Linux.

And then I realized that it's not readily-available for computers in general. You can go out of your way to get it, but it's on our phones by default. How weird. Apparently, Cortana can't easily be used for voice-to-text dictation though, and it'd be limited to Edge. So I still don't really understand the point of Cortana.

But it'd be nice if there was some generic, voice-to-text functionality in regular OSes. It'd be super nice if it was locally-processed too. Is the hardware power not there yet?

In the Bay Area more realistic numbers seem to be around $2000 for a beater and $2000/year for fixing things that go wrong with it (mostly labour costs, $120-150/hour at independent shops here.)

Had my commute been a little less (bringing me under 15K miles a year) the overall cost was remarkably similar to a lease on a modest car.
Before we can even get to addressing making the correct choices, we need to expand the universe of potential solutions that people even bother to consider. That’s the hard but doable task of counterbalancing the widespread consumerist propaganda (advertising) with awareness and practice making and repairing things, and working against learned helplessness.

We need to ensure that people consider cooking instead of going to a restaurant, changing a flat tire instead of calling roadside services, using a screwdriver to tighten up a wobbly chair instead of replacing it, repairing a ripped seam instead of throwing out a garment ...

None of these things are particularly challenging, but they’re so far outside many peoples’ experience that they may as well be impossible. Many people will still decide to have a professional do these things for them, but it’ll at least be a proper choice instead of being forced into it by circumstance.

It does work because price cuts give Intel an allergy. Intel has only recently hinted at reducing prices of some high-end CPUs "up to 15%” 2 years after zen came out and after it had already raised prices on the same CPUs by at least 15% since it started struggling with manufacturing shortages last year.

AMD should go as aggressive as possible with the pricing to steal market share from Intel because it has nothing to worry about in regards Intel responding with a price war - it just won't happen. Intel couldn't even bring itself to do that with it's mobile chips - twice. First with Strong-arm and then with Atom. It lost the mobile market twice because of its insatious margin greed.
Credit Rair
Few months ago I noticed my insurance premium increased and my interest rate has restricted me from getting some benefits and securing a job of my choice. I needed help ASAP so I searched online on credit sites and I read a number of recommendations about RANSOM WARECREDIT fixing peoples credit in a relatively short time and it was amazing so I contacted them on; RANSOMWARECREDIT@GMAIL.COM. They replied swiftly asking me to text them on their direct number; +1 9544160322 and I did. I explained to them my worries of getting my credit fixed, they replied me and explained the process of getting my credit repaired and I went ahead providing them the necessary information they requested to start and within 6 days my credit was fixed. Thereafter, I got a job with a relatively high annual payment. I strongly recommend RANSOM WARECREDIT for any kind of credit issue.
>If we acknowledge that evolution is a real thing,

Evolution is real but is much too slow in the face of technology, which augments human abilities.

> skill sets for moving up in society are genetic.

Might be useful here to reference the story of Raj Chetty, whose mother was able to move up in society not merely because of her genetic predisposition, but because someone allowed her to break out of the caste she was born into.

Society is neither monolithic nor static, so cannot be explained as being subject purely to genetics.
If I was in poverty and I wanted to get out of it, I'd go get 2 jobs and make a lot of sacrifices. It wouldn't be pretty, it wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be fun. But it's not impossible.

Not everybody gets to be healthy, naturally beautiful, natively speak English, work 40 hours a week with full benefits, and get paid thousands/tens of thousands/millions of dollars a month. I'm sorry that people dealt the worst card in life in terms of net worth (those in poverty) are staring up at a proverbial mountain to climb, but I don't really see another solution other than work + sacrifice. Wealth and opportunity aren't going to fall from the sky for them.

> "if I/$self_made_person_of_the_week got out of poverty, why can't you?" are both pointless questions.

Are they though? There's a recipe to get out of poverty. Start exchanging as much of your time/mental health as you can for more money, and don't inflate your lifestyle. Why can't people in poverty be bothered to have to sacrifice more than those that are wealthy? I have no idea. Why do 18 year old supermodels get to date and live off of millionaires while I have to work for a living? Life isn't fair.

I wonder if the biggest reason he didn't hate his job was the gratitude from other people. One of my first jobs was stocking shelves on the graveyard shift at a grocery store, and the 1 hour or so before the store closed I would occasionally help shoppers find things, help take heavy things to their car, or help them reach items high on the shelf. A sincere thank you always made the 7h of mind numbing stocking go a lot faster.

Spotify works fine on Linux in my experience though I mostly use Spotify on my iPhone, not on my Linux desktop but I sometimes use it there and don’t have any complaints.

Linux has excellent support for VPN. VPN providers on the other hand may be bad at providing proper guidance for Linux users. In that case I suggest either switching to a VPN provider that has the guides you need, or searching for good guides made by others about how to do it with your provider of choice.

Google Drive you are right about. If acceptable to you you might consider switching to Dropbox instead. Dropbox worked great on Linux last time I used Dropbox.

Keep in mind that it is a good idea to pick hardware that has good Linux support. The problem for a lot of people is that they buy some random laptop without taking this into consideration, and then try to run Linux on it and might be unlucky.

Personally I run Linux on my desktop with hardware that I chose specifically based on finding out that it would work.

And my laptop now is a MacBook Air running macOS.

Linux desktop. macOS laptop. Great combo IMO.
"Against", not "for". It was against the enemy being able to get intelligence about communications. And it was also not created for an intelligence agency, in case what's how you meant it. I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here.

If Tor was made for intelligence (agencies), why would anyone ever use it? Makes no sense.

If one clicked it to learn about real world container escapes, they left disappointed.

Rent control for existing properties raises market rents by encouraging existing tenants to stay even if their apartment is bigger than they need anymore and they might otherwise move to a smaller one or e.g. retire to Florida or Arizona, thereby keeping those units off the market and requiring the remaining demand to be satisfied by fewer units.

Moreover, the relative value of investing in old vs. new apartments is not particularly relevant, because what really matters is the value of investing in building new housing as compared with all other alternative investments, including real estate in other cities or stocks or anything else. And the prospect of rent control at any point in the future lowers the net present value of those investments by the corresponding amount, causing reduced investment in building new housing.

Worse, if the old buildings have rent control and the new ones don't, the tenants will prefer a rent controlled apartment, driving rents up in the old buildings and down in the new buildings (because, unlike investors, tenants do specifically need housing in that city so the relative difference matters), which both increases rents on existing buildings and reducing the incentive to build new buildings.
In case anyone missed this from your comment:

> If we acknowledge that evolution is a real thing, then we should acknowledge that abilities and skill sets for moving up in society are genetic.

I think that's a big reach. I don't think it's 'self-evident' enough to just put out there like that. Actual evolution involves chance, circumstance, all the time! Genetic bottlenecks, environmental disaster, etc.

> Believeing in evolution without believing that peoples personalities and abilities are predetermined is illogical and nonsensical.

Just wow. I don't even know where to start with this.
The universe, fortunately, has a plethora of similarities, such that some basic edge detection and a bit of neural net work in the retinal layers, combined with a bit of proprioception correlation, provides an enormous amount of 90%+ confidence-level shared realities, or at least a good enough fake. Just not 100%. GANS are doing a great job of showing us that not even all of that is required to begin the "faking-out" process.

But the illusion here is the same: that given this natural input we begin processing before birth, that these concepts extend to completely invented terms. Most folks never look there, they never wonder why a car is called a car, and there's no downside at all. It's a pernicious concept and a wickedly-difficult thing to eventually realize.

I don't see where we disagree. The only thing I'd add is that whether you have a completely private language or not, in terms of problem-solving/goal-seeking, is not important. For non-formal, non-tech things, using common words and gestures provides the quickest way forward. Once you start creating a self-consistent system of symbols representing state and behavior, though, you might actually be better off if everybody has completely different private languages. The illusion of common understanding where there is none is more dangerous than misunderstanding. There are no red lights or sirens that go off when human communication failures happen. It's all silence. It could be no other way.
This cynicism is pernicious. There are plenty of people, on both ends of the political spectrum, who seek public office in order to do things which they view as for the greater good. On the right it is things like criminalizing abortion. On the left it is things like preventing catastrophic climate change. They may barter votes or bend their positions in the name of incrementalism or long-term strategy, but it is the rare politician that is 100% corrupt, seeking office so as to sell their authority for personal gain. Believing this, that all politicians are purely corrupt, and arguing that others should believe it, is to facilitate corruption, not fight it.
On the other hand language has been used for millennia as a way to exclude people. Think Oxford English or "standard" American as a marker for class, for instance. I'm fine with linguistic change if it leads to us being more accepting of others.
> unless google+apple conspire to regulate the market to prevent others from entering

Not to pick on you specifically, but this view is way too wrong to be so common.

The information economy is fundamentally different from the industrial economy for (at least) two reasons:

- Extremely high capital intensity

- Positive reinforcement through network effects (same and cross-side)

As a result, market concentration in information and technology markets is extremely high compared with other industries. It's not a conspiracy, and it's not something anyone can change. It's just the nature of the product itself.

There are a few strategies to combat it (open source, adversarial interop, etc...) but "just build your own" isn't one of them. Because it's almost always impossible in practice.
