In France, not all poor are immigrants/PoC. The "very poorest" are protected/supported by the gov, with government allowance (equivalent to UBI), public housing, free schools, free healthcare, reduced price on public transportation… A good chunk of the yellow vests are people making just enough to not be part of the "very poorest", so don't get all those helps, but have to bear an increasing tax burden. They usually leave the poorer urban areas, often being priced out (as having no access to gov housing grants or public housing) or looking for better conditions of living than the post-war concrete blocks.
While homeless, I looked into getting a dollar home.

They all had a minimum of several hundred dollars in closing costs. They typically also had very expensive defects, such as fire damage or flood damage and black mold because of it.

In recent decades, we've torn down around a million SROs. In the 1950s, the average new house was about 1200 sqft and held about 3.5 people. Today, it's over 2400 sqft and holds about 2.5 people.

We've largely zoned out of existence the creation of small homes in walking distance of amenities, like jobs and shopping. A car is practically a requirement to make life work for most Americans. For most Americans, housing is their biggest expense and a car is their second biggest.

I've lived without a car for over a decade. If I had to buy a car to access affordable housing, that would substantially cut into my housing budget. It just made more sense to find housing in a walkable community to make my life work.
Just because ID is free does not make it universally accessible.

If the office that hands out ID cards is only open 9-5 Mon-Fri, for example, a voter who must work during this time and can't afford to miss work may not be able to get ID.
Those who are involved in the American election industry, from government to vendors or consultants, have committed to a platform based on verified C. The industry continues to refuse to adopt a memory safe language such as Rust. Granted, the investment in a new toolset is costly. However, the benefits are very compelling. In the meanwhile, industry will crutch its toolset decisions with white hat hacking events, bug bounties, millions of dollars in contracts supporting audits and testing, etc.

Path dependence is costly. In the case of elections, more than money is at stake. Industry must move beyond verified C to Rust.

Great article. When you design in that niche in your mind, it gives you a different perspective. It is a similar approach to what feature to have in the product is equally important to what features not to have there.

Indeed. It's always "just" or "simply" the same <n> basic stories. But it's hardly simple to go from the 3 words "overcoming the impossible" to Lord of the Rings.

Specifically, the power of the <n> basic stories meme is that it implies a lower information content of our stories than we supposedly realize. The meme makes you feel smart by inducting you into the enlightened set. But in fact, the low information content is in the supposed categories, not our stories. They throw out all the details that actually make a story. Even if one of the categories was the ridiculously specific "tiny man makes treacherous journey to destroy dangerous magical object, also there's a wizard", that's still a far cry from reconstituting LotR.
I have to say, .name always bugged me because it's dependent on ignoring all of us who share the same first+last names with others. It's like a TLD that purposefully implements [1]. At least the other TLDs are free-form, they don't purport to be some sort of registry of people.

I'm basically saying that the answer to the question of "Is murder wrong" should be a boolean value, not a float. Once it's a float, you open the door to all kinds of nasty thoughts arguing about where to draw the line.

Are handicapped people worthy of killing? What about long-term unemployed? What about the opressors - like rich people? Homosexuals? There have literally been people arguing and executing all of these appalling thoughts in the last century and I would argue beneath it all lies a deadly relativism that says "Of course there is a universal right to live, well, unless you are a ... of course."
There's a pretty sharp migration away from ROOT to numpy / pandas these days (at least in the younger generation).

Given the amount of control Germany has over who becomes part of the European Commission, I think it's unlikely Germany would ever be sanctioned for this. The European Parliament have no say here so it doesn't particularly matter what they think.

[...]But whether one supports racial profiling or not, merely discussing the merits should not constitute an offense,[...]

This is such a double-edged sword. In the first impulse, I would say, of course you can discuss the merits of racial profiling (as we did in this thread) and it should not constitute an offense. But you can wrap anything in a "discussion". We could also "discuss" the merits of eliminating religious minorities in concentration camps and I think this should constitute an offense. Free speech, all to often, is taken as an excuse.

I have no idea how such a differentiation can be put into law in a fair way for everyone.

For me personally, I have very clear criteria. Most importantly, I distinguish between discussion and discourse, in the sense, that discussion is just talking and discourse is a rational, sane exchange of arguments, following common sense and logic. I enjoyed very much the discourse with you about the merits of racial profiling, because it was not driven by prejudice, whinery or political agenda, we sticked to the facts, came to (not so much) contrary conclusions and this is absolutely fine.

In the case of Eric Zemmour I do not like the semantic aggregation in the community:

- he demanded something unconstitutional (racial profiling).

- in his attempt to justify the demanded unconstitutional measurement, he quoted a fact, but failed to prove the causality between the fact and the demand (he did not even try. He mistook the fact as the causality - a common mistake).

- he gets sentenced for demanding something unconstitutional.

- His followers publish their aggregation in the form: although the fact was true, he was sentenced, therefore it is not possible to say the truth in France.

This is not what happened.

His case is not about "telling the truth gets you punished". His case is: "should our society accept, for the ideal of free speech, that someone demands unconstitutional measurements, like racial profiling or putting minorities in concentration camps". I absolutey agree, that this last question is debatable!! I have no final answer for myself! But this is not, how the causa Zemmour was laid on the table in this thread.
If the copilot had gone directly to the media this would have been all over the news. At least, I hope it would given the recent spate of outrage driven pieces I've seen about women wearing risque clothing (before anyone objects, they are completely within their rights to do so) being asked to cover up or being removed from a flight.

The principle needs to remain unchanged though. A principle can and should not be designed to cover it's own edge cases. It's in it's application where we can apply tolerance. Aristotle calls this principle Epikeia: "epikeia is a restrictive interpretation of positive law based on the benign will of the legislator who would not want to bind his subjects in certain circumstances"

Exactly, that was my point. I don't know if it makes sense to pay a large premium for the roof aesthetics. From my point of view, it is just a bad design of the product. Maybe it will change in the future, but for now, I wouldn't put those tiles on my roof.

Well, insurance is a social game, usually. Everyone pays into the pot and if there is a launch failure, the cost is covered out of this pot. They might go after the launch company to get some of the pot back full but ultimately, so many things can go wrong in rocket science that tracking down negligence is hard and it's usually a sum of 20 different factors that are hard to call "negligence" in most cases. Of course, most of the famous disasters usually are a result of that but for example most cases of a SpaceX booster being lost on landing is simply one of a billion things being 1% out of alignment.

This is an arbitrary definition that few economists would accept. Market concentration exists on a spectrum ranging from perfect competition to full scale monopoly. The determinant is the ease of entry and exit and the extent to which the outcome diverges from utility maximising point.

In the case of Amazon there are sufficient barriers to entry that if Amazon were to make profit maximisation its goal, then it could increase prices and enjoy above market returns for a significant period even in spite of the eventual 'possibility' of competition.

To suggest that regulators should wait until the market is fully captured before considering a firm a monopoly is patently absurd since by then the efficiency losses would have already been realised and the remedy becomes harder to implement.

Also, I urge you to find anyone who agrees that there has been an increase in the quality of products available on Amazon. On the contrary, there are countless stories of people lamenting the decline in product quality.

1) and 3) to a lesser extent.

China's currency has been pegged to the USD for some time now. This is actually a common arrangement. A currency peg is basically a commitment by a government to keep its exchange rate with another country at a certain value, mostly to aid exports. It does this by buying and selling currencies, usually leveraging very large reserves.

There are several reasons why the past few Admin. have tolerated the currency peg. A cheaper Yuan means that US consumers get better prices. Also, China buys a lot of Treasuries as part of their sovereign wealth fund. It's still a bitter pill to swallow if you're a US manufacturer or exporter, though. The currency peg also puts downward pressure on real wages for Chinese workers, since it devalues the currency in which they get paid.

What happened in the past few days was that the Chinese central bank decided to push the value of the currency down even further, prompting a symbolic US response.
I agree, but I think it's one of those ratio things - MOST kids are well educated on the subject, but you know there's going to be a nontrivial amount that isn't, or who despite the education still fall for it (case in point: my GF's son was scammed by a guy in Fortnite who befriended him over the span of over two weeks, an eternity in a child's mind. It was just some stuff he earned playing the game of course but still, his trust in people took a big hit there).

Anyway point is, it only takes one case for the media to pounce on e.g. Roblox and drive it into the ground. And there will be a lot.

On a similar note, Soviet government denied the existence of Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact until 1989: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pac...

Another interesting fact - while on the German side, Ribbentrop was executed in 1946, Molotov enjoyed a happy life, although, similarly to Ribbentrop, he was also involved in massacres and crimes against humanity.

The problem is that the system would be run by racist state governments who would construct the system in the worst possible way.

(Not a conjecture, this was actually evidence in one of the various voter ID lawsuits; the state government had constructed a table with impact assessments of various approaches, then picked the one with the worst impact)
Not when you need to make up some lost momentum and the competition is already running with it.

Intel keeps doing these paper launches and early announcements meant to keep them a little in the spotlight. They're not having a good time for a while now. Some websites take it with a gran of salt, some still don't, even after being repeatedly used to tout a nonexistent horn.
Although Qantas has not had a fatal accident for ~70 years, it has a much smaller fleet and has had far more non-fatal incidents and accidents than Ryanair.

The real contender is Hawaiian Airlines, a ~90-year-old airline with no fatal accidents. Still, it's an order of magnitude smaller than Ryanair (~12,000,000 annual passengers).
No, this is just not correct. If my employer, for example, is providing contributions to a politician who is fighting same-sex marriage, for example. Not a legal issue, clearly politics, clearly related to the workplace. There are many obvious and valid reasons to be constantly discussing politics at work.
> It is a similar approach to what feature to have in the product is equally important to what features not to have there.

1000 times this. I used to work for a company that would add features if a customer asked for them and was willing to pay for them. Needless to say the product felt bloated, was hard to develop and maintain.

It was almost comical to see the Tech lead get incensed when a feature he'd lovingly crafted was completely and utterly unknown to the support team because no customer had used it, not even the customer that nominally had paid for it.

Unfortunately, this happened more than once.

edit:

I should add that our official day rate was comically low and sometimes would go lower to match what the sales person thought the customer would be willing to pay while nominally making a profit, I wish I were making this up.
How the Rental Marketplace industry will disrupt the future?
For sure; I'm addicted to distractions, in a way, in that I get restless from just sitting on the couch for a while. It's too easy to whip out my phone and go on Reddit /all until it gets weird, and my daily rituals include spending an hour at least browsing HN. I don't think it's that problematic yet, but it is definitely a thing. I'll have vacation in a couple weeks, I'll try and disconnect and go through some books again.
> I assume Jerry Alex is not a trademark.

I'd say it is. He markets himself under that mark, including offering a newsletter with a business focus. Remember that trademarks don't have to be registered; but he could even do that, if he gains enough visibility - see the registered trademark "Sarah Palin", for example.
It's the transparency of memory allocation that makes it so difficult to deal with failures. Even 'trivial' library functions could allocate memory, hell even calling a tiny dumb function might cause the stack to require a new page of memory, leading to failure. Just checking that all malloc calls check for NULL isn't even half of it.

Exception handlers won't save you either. Unless you consciously consider every memory allocation failure, your exception handlers will be too high level and result in your program either aborting by itself or becoming unusable. Did you pre-allocate enough resources to pop up an 'out of memory' error window? Good luck failing gracefully.

Memory allocation is special.
Larger tiles would probably help a bit. And to be honest, at the beginning I liked the idea of solar roof tiles. The more I think of it the more it seems as a not-so-good idea. You are solving some problems in a very inefficient manner.

Density would rapidly increase around stations if planning allowed for it. See all along the Skytrain in the Greater Vancouver area (British Columbia). For people in between or away from stations, you need good integration with the bus network. Anywhere where there is enough traffic to cause congestion has enough traffic to support good public transit which definitely covers most of LA.

I think you've got this almost exactly backwards. People in Paris don't buy cars because they have low utility. A car is slower than public transport for almost any journey in Paris. That's because population density in France is 4x higher than that in the US.

What's also important to remember as well is that commuting by car doesn't scale well. As population density rises, commutes become exponentially longer due to grid lock. So in some ways you can see the direction of movement and France is just further along that direction - as population density increases you're forced to move to more efficient forms of transport.

I don't see why on-chip graphics support is necessary. An off-chip, independent graphics chip would surely suffice as redrawing the screen is loosely coupled with computation (describe screen, send to GPU, 60 times a second).

Other than some extra power draw needed to couple the 2 chips together, which I assume is minimal, splitting computation from rendering seems like a very good idea - where am I wrong? Would the extra monetary cost be significant - if so roughly by how much?
> You won’t just end with a product that solves real problems, you will win loyal customers who are vested in improving the product.

This is so true - but customers, especially the high expectations / nerd crowd, have grown incredibly tired of the industry trend that after product takeoff, sales/VC demand takes over and their (valuable) feedback is outright ignored. Just look how fucked up Twitter became over the years, the latest UI change is just another part of a string of shitload of management failures.

What this means: do not be sure this strategy will work out because customers have learned from other startups in history.
I was in the same situation as you are - at one time I realized that instead of running after side gigs I should just find a full time job that will enable me to earn as many money as I need, instead working 12+ hours/day (8hrs + side gigs). In overall, that was the greatest solution I made - it reduces possibility of the burnout etc.
Doesnt matter how you define monopoly. Legally, anti trust targets those who choke competition.

There’s a world of difference between having a car and using it sparingly (or just renting one sparingly) and having to have a car for every goddamn thing in life. Many friends of mine back in my home country have cars, but they don’t need to drive if they want to say grab a snack at 11pm. For me however, the barrier of stepping out of my home is pretty high, and the decision to anything unplanned and unnecessary is usually why bother. I guess it’s different for people who enjoy driving, but I don’t.
