Sorry guys, I'm giving up on this thread now

I've tried to be focused and responsive, but instead of responding to my arguments, people like you seem intent on hunting for quotes elsewhere in the thread, somewhat at random. This is like the third time in this thread alone.
Every president wants to have more power.

But the point is, that this president actions so far, did not help the amazonas, so how would given him more power, not harm things even more?
SJ has an immense amount of densification potential, should it choose to exercise it. The housing stock is even more sparse than SF.

I've long marvelled at why Oakland rather than SF is not the natural hub of the SF Bay Area. It has everything SF lacks: indigenous water (EBMUD), a working port, space, improved climate (still gets fog, but not as socked in as SF), transporation (highways, BART, airport), a major technical university at its doorstep (Cal), and bedroom communities at its back (MorInDette, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord), as well as the east-bay communities to the south, and a direct BART link to downtown San Jose (as of quite recently).

But somehow it's SF, PA, MV, and Santa Clara that own tech.
Party-pooper.
I reckon FP wouldn't have as bad a reputation if the Haskell folks didn't insist that <*> and <$> is perfectly acceptable notation.

FP does force you to pay more attention to state though, and losing track of the program state is the root of all evil.
Russia looks more to the railroads for national security and employment, not profitability. They do work well enough, but in a war would not be nearly as effective as if they’d been properly managed in the first place.

More energy efficient space -> remodeled recently -> $$$$$.

I'm not able to afford such a thing. Most apartments/in-laws in my price range (<$2500/month) were remodeled no later than 1970.

Putting in insulation means you have to take down the dry wall (if it is even drywall - might not be). That's pretty extensive for most people.
Every programmer should at least get some familiarity with Clojure. It maintains extremely good balance between simplicity, pragmatism and safety.
I'll disagree. I worked previously "somewhere" that had yearly budget of tens of millions of dollars in order to tackle this specific issue - bringing internet to people that do not have it. We had extremely good data, most of which not available publicly; dozen(s) of people working solely on identifying scope of problem while other people trying to come up with solutions.

I don't have the data anymore so I can argue with you on exact numbers , but even when you are talking about 3/4g networks, in most of the cases it will be 3g and rolling out 4g is too expensive and backbone wont have enough capacity to serve all the people that are lacking access.

>Electricity might be an issue in some areas but according to our assumptions, more than 160 million secondary students in low and low-middle income countries live in cities and areas where electricity is not an issue.

You cant really just buy enough hardware for everyone. It doesn't work well on scale. See one laptop per child.

Wow, what a creative use of IPv6 to allow a custom configuration without the use of DNS-over-HTTPS.
Talent is the lifeblood of tech companies. Ergo, tech companies set up where it is easier to recruit talent.
The big problem with Powershell, and it makes it borderline unusable on Linux, is its crazy error handling. The equivalent of bash's `set -e` is `$ErrorActionPreference="Stop"`.

The problem is that it treats any output to stderr as an error and ignores actual posix errors (non-zero exit codes.) What's worse is in some contexts the error it throws on stderr is impossible to catch.

I really love Powershell in a lot of ways but this makes a lot of really basic scripts in bash very cumbersome to write in Powershell.
[2010], here's the paper referenced in the article: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature09268

I knew we had fucked up the oceans with plastics and overfishing, but I didn't know that phytoplankton was down as well, at such a scale. Per TFA, it provided 50% of the Earth's photosynthesis (in 2010). If it kept on dwindling that fast, that share is even lower now (down ~45%, with a half-life of 81 years, assuming the decline was constant between 1950 and 2010). This is also freaky knowing that it is the base of the food chain in the oceans...

I don't have any idea of the amount of oxygen that's cycled each year vs the total amount in the atmosphere... I suppose there's no immediate danger on that end, even if it were to drop to an even lower point before recovering, otherwise we'd have heard of this more often...
Hugely missed opportunity, I thought it was nutshell for 30 minutes before I noticed the spelling.

> as they don’t have sea lanes or major rivers through major agricultural areas (like the Mississippi).

Russia does have major rivers (Don, Volga, Ob, Yenisei, and Lena), but the problem is they all go in the wrong direction--they're all north-south instead of east-west. In addition, they don't exactly lead to good port facilities, with the Don being the only one with an ice-free port connected to the world's oceans.
I think the disturbing problem lies in the proliferation of sources of misinformation, not in the motivations of said sources. We live in an age where information distribution is so cheap and convenient that everyone has ended up bombarded by noise, and few have the time and education or luxury to sift through it all. In the end, maybe Orwell was wrong about the source of the corruption of society: it's not controlled by an oligarchy or big brother; it's an epiphenomenon of a burgeoning, hyperconnected, disorganized collective.
If you want to play around in the land of DSL's ever, I recommend Racket, a Lisp dialect.
Communting SJ-SF is, unfortunately, doable and done. It's an hour drive off-peak on 280, or about the same time (though crowded and being pinned dead on a rail timetable) by CalTrain express. Off-peak rail runs 90 minutes, and you've still got terminal-to-endpoint to deal with, which is problematic in both SF (improved with the Transbay Terminal), and SJ (residential regions sprawl for miles from the principle train stations).
This argument does not make sense.

The more data you have, the more structure you need to help organize it.
I would love to be able to watch everything in one place without ads, and be happy to pay for it.

There is no reason that the licensing would only apply when you do not choose your shows or movies. Internet radio stations currently pay 22 cents for every 100 "plays" by those paying a subscription fee. And the system works well, creators are compensated, streaming companies can run a successful business, consumers do not need to subscribe to 5 different services to listen to the music they want.
Turns out the reason this hasn't already happened is because the CA constitution forbids cities crossing county borders: https://hoodline.com/2017/03/that-time-san-francisco-tried-t...

This isn't a solution. You're misattributing the effect with the cause.

Developers aren't building more _now_ because it's illegal in the majority of the city, and where it _is_ legal, your permits take about four years to get. By the time you're approved to build, the market has moved out from under you.

We have to change the laws that make building illegal, and to do that we have to change the politicians.

Starting the compressor is the hardest operation on it.
It may be counter-intuitive, but I feel that without some level of consumption, what you create will be highly derivative—drawing of things you have internalized long ago, but have forgotten whereabouts they were acquired.

(you can see this in philosophical/moral discussions with people who have never questioned the source of their values)

Some consumption is probably necessary for creativity. You need to bring some things outside the world into yourself, or your ideas will feel made-up and phony.

Also, many a artist will admit a lot of what some would call "copying" in the art world is common - but it's more akin to reacting to something from a peer and then putting a unique twisted outlook on it; and this almost creates a 'conversation' even if the author isn't intending that.
A dehumidifier is an air conditioner. It's the same device.

It operates a compressor that condenses a fluid with a boiling point below room temperature. As it condenses to a liquid, it generates a lot of heat. This heat is removed from the liquid. The liquid is then allowed to boil, which pulls heat from the environment.

In an air conditioner, the heat is radiated outside, and the cool air is vented inside. In a dehumidifier, the air is sucked in, blown over the cool radiator, which creates condensation which is collected, then blown over the hot radiator, and then blown back into the house.

So you might as well just use an AC and be more comfortable. There aren't any upsides to using a dehumidifier.
Dog ownership is associated with better cardiovascular health
That's not true at all.

Nearly 75% of land in San Francisco alone is zoned for low density single-family or duplex homes. 37% of it is just for single-family homes alone. [1]

Nearly 98%(!!) of land in San Jose is zoned for single-family homes. [2]

Replacing every ~10 single family homes with even a 6-7 story apartment building can easily increase the supply necessary to reach equilibrium, and that's ignoring the fact that you can build affordable apartments that are >20 stories (see: Long Island City, New York).

I'm not sure what point the first comparison example in the original article by Ilya Suzdalnitski is trying to make. If you're going to cherry-pick an example that demonstrates complex and abstract OOP paradigms ( factory/repository patterns, serialisation, etc ) then the author should demonstrate how to address the same requirements that these patterns address in FP.
It's also quite rich that they're using Javascript to illustrate their point. Javascript does not require the same OOP 'cruft' that languages like C# and Java might require in some situations. So crafting the most complex OOP-esque spaghetti you can think of in a multi-paradigm language is a disingenuous comparison at best.
We have plenty of land; the problem is the regulations that make it illegal to build apartments in over 70% of the city. Check out http://sfzoning.com
I'm aware of that yes...
This needs more historical and modern context to point out that this situation isn't normal even for SF and that much better ways are found all the time, for example in Portland.

I am glad though that you focus on the simple ROI calculation of election costs to investment efficiency!
No, you're just forcing your expensive AC to run longer and run less efficiently. On the flip side, if you get a unit that's too big it'll cycle on and off too frequently - shortening the lifespan. You should get a correct sized unit for your house and space. The AC unit will last longer and use the least amount of energy.

If you live somewhere that humidity is an issue - in some places that's in the winter (when you wouldn't use cooling AC) - get a whole house dehumidifier system. Ex: https://www.sylvane.com/whole-house-dehumidifiers.html -- Those will run and maintain the correct humidity regardless of AC.

Use the right tool for the right and you'll get the most efficient results.
Industry clusters are a very real thing. Talent, support industries, and VC money are found principally in a few hubs. SF-SJ, Austin TX, NYC, Seattle. Maybe DC.

Beyond that, even in what are otherwise major metros, the game is farm league. LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Boston.

Several of which still have expensive housing, relatively.

The US are digging their own asset-inflated graves.

Investment happens outside the Bay Area, but there is, to quote CityLab, an "extreme geographic inequality."

Or, as PitchBook puts it, "traditional hubs still account for preponderance of activity" (https://pitchbook.com/news/articles/the-state-of-us-venture-...)

NY and Boston get their share of funding dollars, too, but compared to the rest of the United States they aren't cheap places to live, either.
Red Hat Releases Ceph 3.3
I'm specifically saying that political diversity (sometimes inaccurately called "diversity of thought") is disruptive. If one side thinks the other side doesn't believe they should exist as people—and even more so if they correctly believe so—how do you get the psychological safety to tell each other hard truths about their work?

(As for demographic diversity, the SJW population and to a lesser the MAGA population have that, empirically it doesn't inherently cause strife.)
Making a Modern Vector Graphics Game
Chromebooks are mass produced devices with a free operating system. This usually makes them cheaper than windows laptops, and the scale makes them cheaper than laptops without an OS.

I think the OS choice also reduces the hardware cost a little bit -- at least windows laptops usually have a bit more hardware to support more standard interfaces. Some of the Chromebooks have i2c keyboards, which I don't think passes WHQL standards, but must be a little less expensive; the ssds are tiny, and sometimes mmc which is slower, but less expensive; the keyboard have fewer buttons which reduces cost a smidge too.

But, more importantly than the hardware cost, Chrome OS is easier than Windows for a novice to manage -- updates are less intrusive, just reboot when it asks and wait about 10 seconds to be ready to work again. There's not as much to mess up, and when you do, it's usually easy to get back to factory fresh.
Waste their time. If I'm not too busy. I answer their phone calls and I waste as much time as possible. If everyone answered the calls, kept them on phone for a minute. They would find something else to do. I kept one on for almost 10 minutes today. Insurance call, I told them I don't have the VIN and have to go downstairs to get it. Told them I live on the 8th floor and we don't have a working elevator. Told them I'm on a crutch and walking slow. The idiot was willing to wait until I told them I got downstairs and needed to go back up to get my car key.
Ever looked at SF from the air? 3/4 of the city is suburbs filled with bungalows. This is a patently false argument.
Major bummer but I totally understand. Poor guy.
Ah, sorry. I didn't realize that something you said less than half an hour ago, in the same thread, in the same context, has no business being quoted.

Apologies.

Revenue, not cost :)
If that's the case, then it follows that:

> You are personally attacking James Damore, and then just spinning words around to make a point you agree with.

Specifically, this following statement is a gross misrepresentation of the argument he was making, which really was only clear with the bell curve diagrams that most news media companies purposefully omitted:

> he believes that women are genetically inferior at the job he does.

Furthermore, I disagree with the part about either argument being personal. We both attacked the argument, not the person. There was no ad hominem in either my original statement nor your retort.
Buying something for $100 using eBay’s credit card service does technically imply paying $100 to eBay, but eBay would not recognize $100 in revenue. eBay’s revenue from that transaction would only be the fees they collect, mainly the final value fee which is 10% in most categories plus 2.7% in payment processing, and any other fees they charge.

Similarly, Stripe does not recognize the full value of every transaction as revenue, only their fees.
LensKit – Python tools for experimenting with and studying recommender systems
If you think paying $1 for every $8 in funding for housing is too much, just move to a different city? Apparently San Francisco is worth it, if it wasn't VC's would have stopped funding startups in SF a long time ago.

There's a bunch of graphs showing rents increase, but no real reason for why that's a bad thing. The big number that's supposed to sway us is the rent increasing by 30%, as funding increases by 300%. Maybe there's better numbers somewhere else, but this just tells me rents are not really a problem, at least for the tech industry.

And the solution? It's just build more houses, so the rents go down (a little). Do you really want more houses? The NIMBY people don't seem to. Infinite high density cities aren't all necessarily the best thing. Maybe if you think too much money is disappearing in these wealthy people's vaults, raise taxes?
Lets be clear. as far as I can see the article is only saying some routes are currently not working.

We know with the 'Ghost city' myth this doesn't mean this will stay the case.

We also should know on such a large project this should be expected.

Many of these new routes are amazing though. Do we need to list these off?

Sure, it might point out China needs to tighten up what it does, or it might just mean to efficiently run such a large project some parts will have growth issues as we go along.

So you would agree that since search is entirely technical, then search results by definition cannot present political bias?

Personally I disagree with that claim, but if you feel that search is a wholly technical problem, I'd expect you to agree.

And that doesn't even deal with the obviously political: laws like the right to be forgotten, or other forms of censorship like removals of content due to copyright. How to engage with those is inherently political.

It absolutely has been outside the realm of acceptable political discourse. Jane Kim, who ran for mayor in 2018, said "The only way to make San Francisco more affordable is not by building a lot more market rate housing as possible, it’s by building as much Affordable and middle-income housing as possible." https://medium.com/@sbuss/no-on-kim-58ef07cf459a#1379

We still have electeds who say it's not a shortage, but an affordability problem. They literally do not believe that building more market rate housing will help.

We almost passed a development moratorium in the Mission in 2015. Public opinion has swung fast in our direction.
Anything can be over-engineered, simply by violating Occam's Razor. Bad programs are filled with stuff operating on other stuff that is not essential. Programs in Lisp and Haskell do this as much as in any language, because few love simplicity.
But anecdotes can be misleading too. The only thing left then is ideology.
