Thanks...seems like a reasonable approach.
There's a lot of interesting content here, but I found the example of Toronto a bit odd. Everyone I know who lives in Toronto ends up commuting by streetcar, at least in part, and they all decry it as overcrowded and slow. However that's just anecdotal. Maybe the typical Toronto commuter (who doesn't live on the waterfront) thinks it's fine.

>WTF was MIT/Media Lab thinking?

Being in charge of X or Y means that you get to take the fall. There were people tasked with taking in money. When you accept a job like that part of the understanding is that you take the fall when it turns out someone you took money from is no longer acceptable to associate with him. All dollars are green once they're in the right bank account (the organization's bank account), if you're not gonna take money from pedos or other bad people, they will replace you with someone who will.

Welcome to Boston (greater boston area really). This is how we roll here.
Just to clarify "largest home furnishing store" the article literally means by sq ft within a single structure. Obviously the Ikeas of the world have much more total sq ft.
I don’t mean to speak in support of the CEO, and I don’t say this to support WeWork.

> The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Mr. Neumann had taken marijuana on a flight from New York to Israel.

In this day and age, where we have businesses that legally sell weed, this sort of commentary appears to be a pointless inclusion of “salacious” details. It is irrelevant to the discussion of whether WeWork has a legitimate growth model or whether the CEO is doing the “right” thing.

I suspect that SoftBank is attempting to win this battle in the court of public opinion, because they bought shares that didn’t have the same voting rights as Mr Neumann’s shares, and they now regret that decision.
> And what do millennials say to that? “Dude, I don’t have any fucking money. All I have is my creative potential, my spirit, my productivity, and I can sell that directly for Bitcoin without an exchange, without an on-ramp, without an off-ramp. And when I need to buy something, I’ll use my digital currency directly without reentering your system to which I was never invited. Shut down the on-ramps, shut down the off-ramps and I will stay on board. I will stay digital. I won’t touch your gilded cage anymore because I don’t need you. I exit.

Yeah in some fantasy Bitcoin world millennials say that. Who might say shit like this is Venezuelans or the Iranians. Don't know if BTC is working for them at all these days.
Yep, IIUC it's just an explanation for why priorities won't help you when you get in that mess.

I sometimes get offended when there is a fancy term for something I think is common sense. But there's nothing I can do about it.
I don't grok the framing of this. Why does this piece feel like it's proposing LRT and buses as binary, exclusive choices, instead of components of one system that each have different strengths and weaknesses?

Namely, this point:

> This is money that could be far better spent, on a per-rider basis, on operating good bus routes; but instead is going to be spent on beautiful, brand new lines that only serve a relatively small catchment area unless they’re already integrated into a dense transit network (which is rarely the case).

Specifically:

> unless they’re already integrated into a dense transit network (which is rarely the case).

What is the case, and why is it rare?

In other words, this seems to make the case that because planners are incompetent, they should fund bus route saturation instead of train lines inherently less capable of saturation.

But instead, it just leaves me asking why integration of LRT and bus lines (and ability, last-mile, cargo, and scenic/tourism transit options) isn't better, since that seems like the best goal.

He's not wrong. You're just zerging out.
Trees are a renewable resource... we can, and do grow more when they're used for paper. Or do you worry about running out of lettuce or carrots?

I get that it may be impractical for some... for some of us, we have a VERY hard time remembering long form content without the additional context a physical book provides. I simply cannot hold over 200 or so pages of content without that extra content... I get completely lost most of the time around page 50 in an eReader. I don't know how to describe it better. I can eat through 800 pages or so of a highly technical book in a weekend. I'm lucky if I can get through 100 pages on an eReader in that same time-frame.

Why do I get as irritated by this? Because, I'm not trying to stop the production of eReaders, which do have a LOT of actual environmental waste, compared to a few thousand books.
I just read the chapter about this yesterday. The book is excellent.
The linked article below is about Seattle, not Sydney, but I expect that the cost breakdown is similar.

Breakdown: 87% spent on new right-of-way plus 13% spent on light rail.

I can't tolerate the concept that people don't "deserve" basic things like health treatment based on their behavior. It's sick to me, and a hallmark of a sick society.
The specific thing I was thinking, was that the guys who got in after them probably had their own stories of being "the 2nd or 3rd black guy in an IBM office" - which I'd have thought would likewise be a source of pride to them and their families.

Then this appears, which might indicate that they might (maybe didn't happen, maybe not to this candidate) have had the interview answers given to them. It potentially taints.
This is about TLS. DRM would probably be another layer of encryption inside?

Well, no. You talking about HDCP. In this case it's just TLS.

There is a lot of reasons why everything should be behind TLS.
I see you don't know many doctors. Sure, some of them have that motivation, but that's a bad generalisation. (on the other extreme, you know that Doctors Without Borders exists, right?) There are also easier ways to get rich where you don't have to spend years training and working crazy hours.

There's also a big difference in required skills between doctors, fire fighters, and social workers.
My experience is that a hobby gives a pretense for communication – which is an opportunity for depth, but not a guarantee.

"Oh yeah, X guitar is so sick" is a shallow conversation.

vs

"Yeah, I've always had a soft spot for the strat. My best friend's dad was a luthier, and I'd always be in his shop when things got rough at home"

Now you've got an opportunity to talk about something a little more real. A somewhat dark example, but... I find that returns on depth are a function of vulnerability invested. Tastefully, of course. Don't puke your trauma on the first date. But it's fear of opening up, at least in my experience, that keeps male relationships in the HobbyZone.
Infrastructure increases land value and benefits people who can afford to live close. Not very surprising.

I'm not sure buses would be more egalitarian though. Buses are great for people who are time rich and income poor; buses have far less predictable schedules and are subject to most of the chaos of traffic conditions, even when there are dedicated bus lanes. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense for wealthy people to ride buses, and I don't think a great bus network would fundamentally alter the inequality dynamics. At least light rail smears out the "well off" zone a bit more.
He argues that’s only possible if you have enough density:

> Second of all, unless your city is really dense or you have infinite money to spend, any public transit system that wants to actually provide coverage across the entire city is going to need a good bus network.
> “As I’ve talked about before, this spatial arrangement had a useful side effect: commuting distance was a part of the cost you had to pay to live the good life. But now, we’re going through this big inversion where downtown is cool again, and we’re losing the self-corrective mechanism we used to have.“

This seems fundamentally wrong to me in a way I find hard to square with someone as familiar with the subject matter as this author.

Many theories of valuation of real estate start with basic assumptions about people bidding with offers to pay (to buy / rent living space, buy groceries, etc.) according to their beliefs on how well they can use that land / space. If everyone is rational (clearly not, but not very important here) it means the person who can extract the most value from the land and has enough capital to outbid competitors will get the chance to use the land.

This has been true in dense downtown areas where workers compete by working more hours for a long time, such as in downtown Manhattan where bankers and high powered attorneys would live even during the supposed suburban period the author refers to.

To these workers, the time cost of commuting was not worth the extra space or “the good life” as the author calls it (which paints a very confusingly biased presentation). Instead, the marginal value of proximity to work more was valued higher.

Now, hardly due to “downtown being cool again,” white collar work is swinging in a direction where it’s not just bankers and attorneys who see the deal of reduced commute time in order to work more as a good thing, rather it’s tech workers, marketers, knowledge workers of all types.

Everyone feels pressured to work more and be seen visibly working more, for status signalling. Employers are less loyal to workers than ever, so you need to live close to many other possible employers, to switch to ass-in-chair long hours signalling at the new place once the current place lays you off.

You have to pay $3000/month rent, huge grocery bills, receive poor retirement benefits all predicated on blind faith in equity markets, to be in this frantic hedonic treadmill cycle just to barely keep a job and have even the tiniest chances at social mobility.

It seems quite obvious that service workers, low status jobs like teaching, blue collar work would immediately get pressed hard to push out and eat the costs of longer commutes. Their “good life” is having structured hours (don’t get me wrong, they are woefully underpaid and have poor negotiation power) instead of being compelled to do constant social signalling of more and more hours.

This all just seems like a consequence of labor collapsing in on itself in a slapdash scramble to grab enough money to possibly retire comfortably while capital just keeps taking increasingly larger shares of generated wealth.
The concern is not over the marijuana use per se, but over illegal drug smuggling across international borders. That shows a major lack of judgment and could have resulted in serious consequences for the charter company if they had been caught. Based on that behavior and other reports I suspect Adam Neumann suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.

No, I legitimately thought that the food web was slowly collapsing from the bottom up while deforestation and desertification accelerate.

Admirable - and what he did.
The rumor that Trump suggested nuking hurricanes presumes that Trump would know of the history behind research around nuking hurricanes.

> “I got it. I got it. Why don’t we nuke them?” the president evidently interrupted, according to Swan’s source. “They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they’re moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can’t we do that?”

Really, in this alternate reality Trump is asking about disrupting the eye wall of a hurricane with super-heated air? I think both Trump lovers and haters can actually agree this is entirely not credible (for each their chosen reasons).
Calling code is the front end... API services separate that calling code from the backend.
The nice thing about light rail is that it can actually make public transit more convenient than driving in dense areas, if the tracks are separate from the road. On a bus you are stuck in the same traffic as everyone else, so you might as well just be driving your own car instead. Light rail discourages driving, decreasing congestion, while busses add to it.
This is a lengthy article, yet the author fails to address any of the concerns he claims to be countering.

He claims only the rich use light rail. But what is it about a light rail that causes a poor person to look at it and walk away deciding it's not for them? It simply doesn't make sense. Build LRT to a poor area, people will use it.

He then shows an infographic of a hypothetical city covered in bus routes, alongside the same city covered by one LRT route through a gentrified area. This is unfair. How about comparing equivalent LRT routes with bus routes?

Money sunk into buses is money no longer spendable on LRT.

There's an infographic that shows bus route ridership compared to LRT route ridership but we learn only the what, not the why.

Also, the article makes no mention whatsoever of Melbourne, an example of LRT working very well for over a century.

I'm disappointed to say that I learned exactly nothing reading the article.
I would love to invest in a fund that invests in solar and wind plants. With the investment goal to become carbon negative. What options are therefor people like us (i.e. one with detailed reporting how money was spent, perhaps options to invest more than just money, e.g. time and expertise etc.)?
USD works as currency because it has a pretty stable and small rate of deflation, a property that the fed tries to maintain. It works to trade value and gives a subtle nudge to promote trading.

Bitcoin had the mission statement of being a currency, which it has failed at. It's instead a highly volatile (and potentially highly profitable) investment.

So someone could be right that Bitcoin would not succeed (at being a useful currency) and still have been wrong to not buy in (they should have gotten in when the getting was good for the very reason it would fail to be a currency).

But it was and is more like gambling and less like "mattress money".
Not the author, but I’d say because public transit budgets are generally fixed amounts of money, so if you spend millions on a light rail line, you don’t have that money to spend on buses.

I agree that a light rail network with feeder bus lines can work well. Boston’s “T” had done this in Cambridge - there’s an underground bus depot at the Harvard Square subway stop, where buses from all over the north side of the river converge so people can move to the train for the trip into downtown Boston.
Whoa there grasshopper.

No, I didn't say anything about video cassettes. You did. Video cassettes died because of technology improvements. Last I checked the traditional paperback still exists and sells well.

I did defend Sony. For building a product that I still use and can load up with books and PDFs from today. You should also be aware Sony still sells the same line they did when they started in the space. Their readers are designed for a slightly different market now, but they still sell - and at a premium. Being someone in the "disrupt the ebook market" I would have thought you'd be in the know for your competition.

Regardless I know what I want. And that's part of your problem in your response:

> Either you have no idea about what you're talking here or don't understand how web works generally.

With that brazen arrogance your company will likely struggle. I've been in the technology industry for over 20 years and have seen plenty of your types come and go. Best of luck!

You don't. But after a certain number of violent interactions that point to a mental health, I wager to say it does not take a rocket scientist to draw a conclusion.
That's because it IS a drop-in replacement for Argparse

Gooey began its life as a monkey-patch of argparse. GooeyParser came along later to extend the limited argparse API with additional options that made specifying more complex GUIs possible.

I opted to leave that detail out of this one as I was trying to focus on the larger general capabilities, rather than the Python specific implementation details.
It's disappointing to hear that AMD has not provided adequate performance monitoring tools though. I would have thought by the second generation of Zen that this would be an area that AMD had given attention to.

I know Chelsio has crypto directly on the NIC, but are dedicated crypto accelerator cards a thing and are they ever worth it? Why leave the CPU idle when the CPU itself is a good crypto accelerator (AES-NI, ARMv8 crypto)?

AMD Ryzen has a built-in crypto "decelerator" — a FreeBSD driver was written for the crypto engine, but it's disabled by default because it made everything slower than AES-NI. (Though I guess it would be funny to use it to mine bitcoin, since it supports SHA256. AMD — Advanced Mining Devices!)
You can execute a "non-model" query like so:

results = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql)
I would include it, at least as a footnote/sidebar! It will be a huge selling point for python projects that already use argparse, and there are a lot.
What's holding them back though? Yeah people work a lot today, but they still do have free time. They spend all that time dating? Gaming? Family? Spending time with family is healthy , but, all the free time ? that s too much, and it was probably never like that in history (at least for men). Men spend 0 time in former male spaces too. And finding hobbies you dont like just as an excuse to meet people feels forced and fake. Modern city lifestyle is hostile to friendships.
In cities with high traffic, rapid transit buses cannot compete with light rail that has right of way.

LRT can move more people faster, and it can also move strollers, bicycles, and wheelchairs.
You could stay home instead.
Good idea. I'll do a quick update!

Organised Labour Has Returned
From what I can tell, Toronto is a good argument for subways and light rail. Many bus routes exist mainly to feed rail, without rail the buses wouldn't have the ridership they do have.
TSMC has also had issues meeting demand directy, they're at a 6 month backlog for 7nm. It seems like the demand has been huge, and a lot of server vendors who have been waiting to upgrade servers are going AMD and pulling the triggers now.

The 3900X has been pretty much sold out since launch, and sells out within hours of inventory showing on newegg/amazon. Been using a 3600 on a new build, waiting for 3950X. And likewise a lot of the aftermarket design rx5700xt cards have been selling out quickly. Took 4 tries to get the gigabyte one. First two times, sold out before I saw the notice, third it sold out while in my card going through checkout. Then I got the order in.

This shouldn't be flagged. Is there any way to vouch that a story shouldn't be flagged?
He makes an argument that light rail is both less efficient and serves a limited population. I think it's good argument and a fairly well-known argument - light rail has been a poor use of transit dollars for a long time, it's only benefit is bragging rights since it can never be faster than ordinary traffic and it inherently costs more than buses. Medium rail and other system capable of faster movement than traffic is a different thing (but that's been neglected since it costs more to start and it doesn't give the cities more obvious bragging right). The only "benefit" of light rail is it makes it harder to abandon when the going gets tough. The flexibility of buses should be advantage but this flexibility means they're easy to gut in a circumstance of budget deficits.

All you are saying "why not have both" but if one is strictly worse than the other, there's no reason to have both, you can do better with one.

Try chipping in $100 to a local business so that it can offer free or subsidized electricity to electric vehicles. If you can do that with 20 people, then you can likely get it done. Offer to repair a damaged EV charger, if it is in a place where it can be effective. I've got a list of about 20 software projects that could possibly make a difference too. Let me add, that my MacBook Pro has taken a licking from at least one cycling accident, and held up like a champ.
Doctors make on average $294,000/year. And 2/3 of all bankruptcies in the US are caused by medical issues (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/this-is-the-real-reason-most...).

Full stop doctors are profiting off the sickness and suffering of others, when they take an oath to do no harm.

Yes, I agree, the Doctors Without Borders people are saints (no sarcasm here - there are truly good people in this world). That is not the rule in the US - the rule is that we have greedy evil people who are making money off of cruelty.
