This was a fascinating read. I'm surprised tobacco is the number 1 litter. I rarely see people smoking anymore where I live, so I would assume it would not be a top contributor to litter. Is smoking still very prevalent in San Fransisco?
It worked for me, but colours were a bit off.
This comment took me by surprise. Taking a day off "out of nowhere" - cute? Using your vacation day to drink with your friends (or insert literally anything) - ridiculous? I don't think you're trying to disparage the concept of days off being used for casual things, but your tone makes it seem like you're so used to an environment that does that you take such a tyrannical sentiment for granted.
Are there any free tools we can use to apply this technique?

With the capillary road network, don't most cities make developers of new blocks pay for the roads too? I think the difference although is developers are many small independent firms, while telecoms are large national corporations, and don't give ownership up once they are done developing.

With your post, it made me realize that telecom & power cable runs should really be owned by the resident city, like roads are.
Yup and there are large swaths of Seattle where Century Link doesn’t have competitive speeds to Comcast. Cities should have even more competition for service providers than rural areas.
How the measurement is done depends on the physical implementation of the qubit. For example the state of the qubit could affect the resonance frequency of a coupled microwave cavity which can be measured using RF techniques.
Obviously at some point the experimenter has to check the result of the measurement, which makes the question what would have happened without a conscious observer impossible to answer.
$67.99 exactly. My bill has always been the exact price that they list on their website; no extra fees or taxes randomly popping up on the billing statement.
In that sense, I would not be against a municipal government installing a system of conduits and/or dark fiber, and charging ISPs and other fiber users for it (provided they had some reasonable obligations to conduct the whole business transparently).

I think conduits and dark fiber are both more similar to roads (and utility poles and the structural cables between them) than actual internet service; and the nice thing is that new private entities, provided they are not preempted by rigid bylaws, are then enabled to seek out a better standard of service without duplicating the whole infrastructure.

Nowadays, it's the noisy and distracting open office environments where you're scrunched next to people who you probably aren't even working with.

In the future, it's leaning towards remote work. Which sounds great on paper. But there's another whole level of tyranny with that. Only getting 15 minutes per day face to face with coworkers over video chat, the rest done asynchronously over Slack is very impersonal. Though maybe I'd trade that for being able to live in an actual house with a pool instead of squished into a tiny apartment.
Why? Why is the company's operation more important than my friends? And why is that company so incompetent I can't take a (contractually agreed upon) day off without endangering its operation?
Immutable JavaScript/CSS/Blobs/etc.

We have a very typical [web] codebase, server-side code (e.g. business rules, database access, etc), server-side Html generation, and JavaScript/CSS/Images/Fonts/etc stored elsewhere. Two repositories (content and code).

So the obvious question is: How do you manage deployment? Two repositories means two deployments, which means potential timing problems/issues/rollback difficulties.

The solution we use is painfully simple: We define the JavaScript/CSS/etc as immutable (cannot edit, cannot delete) and version it. If you want to bug fix example.js then it becomes example.js 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc. You then need to re-point to the new version. The old versions will still exist and old/outdated references will continue to function.

This also allows our cache policy to be aggressive. We don't have to worry about browsers or intermediate proxies caching our resources for "too" long. We've never found editing files in-place, regardless of cache policy, to be reliable anyway. Some browsers seemingly ignore it (Chrome!).

We always deploy the "content" repository ahead of the "code" repository. But if we needed to rollback "code," it wouldn't matter because the old versions of "content" was never deleted or altered.

There's never a situation where we'd rollback "content" because you add, you don't edit or delete. If you added a bad version/bug, just up the version number and add the fix (or reference the older version until a fix is in "content," the old version will still be there).

I'd be curious as to why you think that. Are you able to provide more detail on that claim? I have extensive experience with Semmle and my experience drastically differs from you.

With certain languages and a strong and diverse ruleset Semmle has it's strengths. In particular with native code (C, C++) and decent rules I have seen Semmle be very successful at finding certain classes of bugs.

"Huge" fees leads to perverse effects if they increase the price of such an obvious status symbol as a car.

The object becomes more desirable (the complete opposite intention of the fees) in part because wealthy influencers buy the object.

A law acts differently because rich purchasers have to follow the same rules (almost!).

No, but for some reason people think throwing cigarette butts on the ground and out of car windows isn't littering.

> The idea of a liberal arts degree at a university is to create a well-rounded individual.

That was the original idea, yes. That does not mean that actual liberal arts degrees today at actual universities actually come anywhere close to doing that. For one thing, under that original idea, science was one of the liberal arts, and anyone who expected to be considered well rounded had to study it. How many liberal arts programs include any kind of serious exposure to science?

> see the other post about Sociology being useless

To the degree that it claims to be a science, I would argue that it probably is. It has basically no predictive power.
What about the phrase do you find to be super confusing? It is a short summary (even labeled as takeaway 0.1.2.1 in the text) of the first paragraph of section 1.2. That paragraph explains how C source code is just text and that it is turned into an executable program with a compiler. In context the phrase seems more than clear.

> extremely low rates may lead to slower growth by increasing market concentration and thus weakening firms' incentive to boost productivity

At the very least, low rates have shifted all of the income growth from labor to capital.

Since capital assets can be purchased with "cheap" or "free" money (i.e., don't have to produce as much revenue to repay their cost), capital can be used to supplant labor in more cases.
The degree is an accredited qualification that checks boxes. It may not have short term career value for you, but my degrees have helped me in some situations.

I used it to get my TN1 work permit. If you ever find yourself emigrating, even temporarily or even on a client project, that degree will get you across most borders to work. If you don't have a degree, it is much harder.

I used it on my IRAP grant application. If you ever want a grant from the government for a startup research project, and it requires a qualified individual, the degree is proof you're qualified.

etc.
I am using it to study C. Can you tell me the reason why you wouldn't recommend it?
> I really don’t understand how piracy is the default answer to convenience with people claiming they have the willingness to pay.

Subscription services fees can quickly add if not managed properly, so the convenience they offer completely evaporates if you force customers to juggle their subscriptions between different services to cover all their needs.

To customers that "services juggling" is pretty much the exact opposite of "convenience", but signing up for everything, all the time, is not an option for many as that would cost some serious money.

So what will most likely end up happening is that people stick to one, maybe two, services covering most of their needs, and just get whatever else they want trough means that don't require them to manage a subscription, like piracy.

It should also be mentioned that even piracy does offer paid subscriptions, where users pay money to get more convenient and reliable access to content, that's pretty much what Usenet and all debrid are.

But unlike legal streaming services, their libraries are not compartmentalized and limited by publishing rights.

I have a dog, and when we're walking around I always notice all the cigarette butts on the ground (because my dog tries to eat everything off the ground so I have to watch). It doesn't surprise me that so much litter is just tobacco products.

Software-as-art has lost a lot of ground to software-as-business, and in software-as-business, somewhere up the chain there is a management-level individual who isn't really sure how to measure either progress or code quality.

There are myriad tools designed for these people though, and they all chose the simplest (and wrong) solutions to the problem: progress is SLOC added and bug reports clsoed per day.

The height of the software-as-art era was the shareware days of the late 90s. Development certainly moved a lot more slowly overall, but there also tended to be better relationships between developers and their users and developers were not yet all working for people who tried to measure their progress by the only metrics they could understand. The entire industry has been a victim of Goodhart's Law.
So... let me understand this... the flavors are literally Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops, right? What else would they put there? Do you think adults don't like sweet cereal?

I don't think that is "obviously directed towards youth." It's only obvious that it's directed toward people who like Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops, of which many are adults.

>Would you also argue that Lucky Charms and Froot Loops cereal commercials are not advertising to children, because some adults happen to eat sugary cereal?

No, because those ads are obviously aimed toward children. They're full of kids and the boxes contains toys! Nothing like that is happening with vape juice (and it shouldn't if it is.)

That all said, I'm with you; bring down the hammer on that sort of thing. Get rid of the flashy packaging. Keep the warning labels. That does far more good than harm. Just don't take the flavor away from me if I want it.

Not do much wrong spending a year talking with your future professions senior managers about what they're telling the world about. Couple hundred thousand magazines dobt have sales functions, effectively. This was my business. In '04 Google wrote off a whole load ABD quit trying to get ad pages to tradd online and shortly afterwards we ONKY didn't sell ourselves when my cofounder died tragically, and I realised that the scale we lacked meant if I argued they key man was more me bejbv baby sat than my partner being the key man in cold business terms, still we didn't know if we'd hit a different brick wall moment we gained scale.

We have three young kids, and I've gotten a lot of funny looks over the past couple years when I tell people that if one of them pooped in their diaper, we washed their nether regions with soap and water.

It absolutely baffles me that the same people who freak out about the possibility of there being germs on their kid's pacifier will wipe up poop with a wet wipe and send the kid on their way.

Even as an adult, I don't get how people think of toilet paper as having any "cleaning" power. It just seems wildly unsanitary if you bother to think about it, which is why I suppose most people choose not to.
I've seen coworkers run semmle queries across the entire Windows OS codebase and find hundreds of issues which were/could result in security vulnerabilities. They've also leveraged it for variant analysis. If I'm not mistaken, the security teams are the largest internal users of Semmle at Microsoft.

You're right though, it's not a panacea, and it could probably be great for other uses too.

I'm a middle aged manager with several brand-new grad hires. I try to be open, accommodating and flexible; it does not work. They are one of:

1. confused and frustrated without a (rather strict) set of baseline rules to guide them,

2. push to the boundaries of my flexibility to see how much they can get away with (not unlike my pre-teen kids)

3. Totally oblivious/naive about what is acceptable in the broader corporate-esque working world - Example: Will the company buy me a laptop [to attend a one day bootcamp]?

I guess it makes me a crusty old fart, but I have no interest in advancing this style of work management and will be long gone before I'm forced to accept this new world
As a person who comes from a traditionally Republican family and has myself transitioned from center-right to pretty far left, it is reassuring to see a consistency of opinion like yours from those who still identify as Republicans. One of the biggest symptoms of our current political polarization seems to be people on both sides giving carte blanche to their respective leaders to backtrack or redefine their espoused values. Just as it angers me when Democrats throw nuclear power under the bus due to its status as a political non-starter, it angers me when GOP supporters do gymnastics to explain selective abandoning of their most dearly held ideals like states' rights.

I have not viewed their videos in a while, maybe I got an unfair representation seeing their content at the height of clickbait YouTube titles and expats flunking out of China. Regardless, per my comment below, these are youtubers who optimize(d?) content that often distorts reality (as another user describes) and should not form the basis of understanding and discussions on China. But for many lay users, they are. The Chinese perspective from an expat lens will be vastly different from the Chinese perspective from a Chinese lens etc. I'll go through his summation video after work, someone else linked to his wife's channel. I'll be upfront and say regardless of how my opinion changes of them as people, I still don't believe they should be dominant sources for informing views China. There aren't any dominant sources just like 2 vlogs shouldn't form your opinion on US.
