That's the idea. You drive people with low paid jobs out of living in places they can't afford without mooching off of their neighbors. They move closer, get a smaller apartment, people build more densely, or they get a job elsewhere, or they eat the true cost of travel, less want to do it, wages increase somewhat.

I used to travel, in Philadelphia, from a Main Line-adjacent community, on a bus to 69th Street Station, and then on the Market-Frankford Line, and then switched to the Broad Street line, all the way up to Temple U. for a $10/hr job, on a $1.30 token plus a $.60 transfer, each way. That's outrageous. I was mooching off the system, and my employer was mooching off the system as well. If they made me pay higher fares, well, I could afford it. What's an extra $3.80 when you're making $10/hr? At that wage, it was a small fraction of the time spent commuting.
It may work, but it is not necessarily ideal.
I always stop myself writing longer professional articles as what I'd like to write doesnt fit my own bar of quality requirements.

I have some experience in a couple of fields and deeper experience in a few, but I can't really point to any studies that would underpin any learnings or points I'd like to make and without those I feel what ever I write becomes just the ramblings of someone vaguely qualified.

I have a much easier time giving advice in person, sometimes having a couple of people invite me to observe & coach, but somehow writing feels like it requires so much more care and study that it frightens me to start.
Aside from a few of the biggest Stack Exchange sites (including Stack Overflow) most of the 170 sites don't have ads and don't make profit. The only profit is very indirect, demonstrating that Stack Overflow the company can run sites like these, something which is now in doubt. (Disclosure: I'm a mod on one of the small SE sites and helped author the letter.)
its not, its overreported. its trendy to change gender so people do it until theyre done with the phase. why do you think theres so many reports about people switching back and regretting their decision or going against their parents who forced them when they were younger?

If we're talking about the dense construction areas centered around train stations in the Bay Area, then excellent public transit is a thing.

Sure, most of the country doesn't have adequate transit. But some neighborhoods in most metros do. Cities should not be bound to parking minimums in those dense urban centers. If it turns out that transit is not good enough, then the market value of such housing will be appropriately low.
Totally. That's why I got into talking about a common API schema that could be used to generate the required symbols. That got met with discussion of not using TypeScript instead.
except this is a code example on the site

im not going to write bob and alice and then worry about "well what if these fake people in this example i made up are actually trans" lol give me a break.
Not the same situation. Roads are used and paid for maintainance by business. Subways/undergrounds are not used by business.

All the physical theories we had so far require infinite computational power, because they work with real numbers, it's easy to say that it is wrong, but that's not really useful without saying what is right.

There are several interpretations of quantum mechanics that predict quantum computers not working in different ways, to find which one of them is correct you need an experiment that is not described by traditional view. Building quantum computers is the first experiment that has a chance to show what exactly is wrong with QM. Even the people who think there is nothing wrong with QM agree that quantum computer not working would be a bigger discovery than working, and are considering all the alternatives, so i don't see how it is anything like a religion.
why? its literally the points right here https://cellio.dreamwidth.org/2064709.html
I am happy somebody is working on this, but I really wish somebody would rewrite TeX and derivatives from scratch in a modern language. The syntax of LaTeX is mostly adequate, and should be kept so people don't have to relearn everything. But the list of other improvements that need to be made is a km long.

* The backend should be in a language that allows for easier editing and package development.

* Need modern bidirectional UTF8 font support.

* Need the compiler to stop producing a bunch of extra files in the same folder, which is a significant adoption barrier.

* Need a way to generate clean html output with nice css.

* Tikz is great, but it would be excellent if it was possible to include the graphical output of any language by writing inline code (org-mode style).

* Same for mathematics - if I can send input to Sage or Mathematica and print the results from within the tex files, life would be so much easier.

* Beamer is interesting, but it is hard to make anything but rather bland scientific presentation in it. A framework for rapid design prototyping in beamer would help so much.

* Etc etc
Lots of SO points means I spend a lot of time there answering questions (usually during work hours). Not sure I’d want to advertise that.

The entire history of everything on all sites being public is one of the explicit goals of the site. So "sharing with 3rd parties" means absolutely nothing. Those 3rd parties could scrape the site or they could download the archive.

Happy moderating!
This is really awesome! I'm building something similar, but more focused on weekly meal planning and weight loss. It's kind of amazing to me how many people in this thread have all created their own systems for managing food/recipes/meal plans.
I found the pricing to be a bit confusing. I'm self-hosting it now and been happy with it, but when installing for the first time I couldn't find how to share some of the passwords with another user. Well it turned out that in self-hosted instance you don't have that possibility to share to another user without a paid license. Ok, fine by me so I bought the one year premium for the self-hosted instance as from one of the tables in their website it said that would be needed. So now I had the one year premium with all the nice features but still I couldn't share passwords. Importing the license key to create an organization (for sharing) failed every time. I contacted their support and found out I had just misunderstood the pricing. To create an organization you need an organization license, which was another roughly ten euros a year. After bying that I had it working as I wanted. Their support also gave the possibility to get money back from the unneeded personal premium license as it wasn't needed for my usecase, but I kept it as I found the price to be quite ok.

So that might have sounded like a rant, but my only issue was that I didn't understand the pricing for self-hosted. My one year is up soon and I will be renewing my license as we've (as in me and my wife) been happy with Bitwarden.

>Britain proposed democratic self-rule in HK in the 60's

This is a false narrative originally perpetuated by VJMedia.hk, pro-democracy activists in League of Social Democrat that managed to gain traction on English internet via QZ. The primary sources (FCO40/327 and the Thatcher memo) used to substantiate these claims has nothing to do with democratic reforms but UK seeking HK sovereignty as a self-governing dominion like Singapore (not just democratic reforms) as an alternative to handover because it would stabilize investor fears - the concerns were purely economic. Obviously China would reject this proposal which basically tried to circumvent handover by making HK dejure independent in 1997. The reason why UK/Patten introduced some democratic reforms near handover was a last minute effort to maintain some political and economic influence over the colony. There was never any effort in the 60s to grant HK democracy within the context of Extension of Hong Kong Territory lease - they asked for sovereignty which was never an option - and what little that was given was a last minute geopolitical power play.
because using people in examples is really common to explain things? like saying "bob wants to save this to the database but he got an error" is pretty common and nobody has a problem because they know bob is a he

the edge case is the people who get outraged that a fake example isnt gender neutral

Yes, like the public transit subsidies that are usually funded by property tax or income tax.
> How do you know that? How many Chinese people have you talked with?

Do the Hong Hong people count?

How about Tibetan people? Or the sadly famous Uyghur?

And does Taiwan has a say as well?
All I’m saying is that no Norwegian (or anyone else) ignores price in a purchase decision, and the one time fees for cars in Norway are so large that no one can ignore them.
Those that are inclined to purchase a hybrid or EV isn’t exactly going to be discouraged by the tax/fee rebates.
Here's a broad and perhaps a bit naive question on this;

Reddit, Imgur, and any other site that uploads significant amounts of images from significant amount of users.. do they attempt to do this? To de-dupe images and instead create virtual links?

At face value it'd seem like a crazy amount of physical disk space savings, but maybe the processing overhead is too expensive?
1) I've successfully put >1M points into a deck.gl point layer with cute hover effects, and on a modern computer I can easily get 30fps on a map in the millions of pixels.
1a) Large-scale map viz in the browser is not only challenging for in rendering (see https://github.com/uber/deck.gl/blob/master/docs/developer-g... for details), but it's also challenging for data transfer. If you have a table of 7 variously-sized columns with a million rows of data, you'll probably want to send 7 arrays to the browser, just with the way WebGL is going to unpack parameters to your shaders, so you'll want something like Google's FlatBuffers, and FlatBuffers with named columns and more datatypes is the Apache Arrow format (which has excellent Javascript support, and strives to avoid copying buffers, which is what you want in high-performance applications).

2. By default, many of the deck.gl layers don't use 64-bit floats, they use 32-bit floats for lat/lng degrees, which supports many use cases for resolution and speed. In a WGS84 projection, with a base/meridian of (0°,0°), a point in northeast Russia represented by two IEEE754 32-bit floats (say: 70°N, 179°E) will be within roughly a meter of its original value (as per https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/IEEE754.... and as per the earth circumference is ~40M meters, 1° is at most at the equator ~ 40M/360 meters ~ 100 km, and a rounding error of 10^-5 on a float that's 10^2 means you'll be off by around a meter). The deck.gl layers allow you to provide your zero point, and you get 100x the resolution at 1 compared to 100 in the exponent+fraction format for floats (so pre-render your Δlat, Δlng in 64-bit float computations with standard 80-bit precision somewhere besides WebGL). If you have more than a 100 km x 100 km square for which you need sub-centimeter precision, computed at render-time, 32-bit floats aren't for you. Which brings me to speed: WebGL doesn't have 64-bit floats, or 64-bit ints, natively. You'll have to fudge the math in software in a shader, instead of the native add instructions on the GPU, and that is far slower.
If you do need higher precision with only 32-bit integers, you can cluster your points around many different base/meridian points instead of the single (0,0), and take advantage of increased float precision on smaller numbers.
Or use 64-bit floating computations with the standard 80-bit precision in Javascript, outside of GPU shaders, and compute millions of floats in Javascript typed arrays to send into deck.gl shaders.
Do you pronounce "gift" with a soft 'g'?
> She also didn't really get her home as an financial investment,

Probably good thing she didn't. You say the home is worth $2m today... Well if she invested $7397 in the S&P500 in 1962 it would be worth $2m today.

I'm going to guess she spent more than $7397 for the home and a lot more than $0 on taxes and upkeep. :) So if the home had been bought as an investment it wouldn't have been an amazing one.

I think it's important to point this out due to the other comments that seem to think that she's the recipient of some kind of astonishing windfall, she isn't.

The point the other commenters are making about Prop13 is a good one, however. Your central argument is essentially the problem Prop13 is intended to and actually does solve.

And bonus: You can inherit the property from her and preserve its tax level... so rising property values won't even force it out of your families ownership, not at least until you start running into estate taxes.

[Unfortunately, prop13 is also a lot stronger than what would be minimally required to solve the problem of property taxes pushing people out of their homes. E.g. some other states have similar rules but they only apply to a single residential property per person that they're required to live in, and as a result it causes a rather extreme burden shift onto newer residents including ones who opt to live in less expensive locations...]

There are plenty of reasons why nearby development can be a serious taking of an existing resident's property rights... but in California jacking up your property taxes is not one of those reasons.

Your point about parking is an actual argument that you could probably develop further. But I'm guessing that young able bodied posters who are used to living in an urban hellscape won't buy any argument that reliable nearby parking is a quality of life issue. :)

how ironic lol, if you only knew that "he said" and "she said" is the whole problem because apparently you cant use pronouns anymore
We still love to shop at stores. While E-Commerce is convenient, the experience of visiting your favorite store in person is a unique experience.

You know, for many years I have been writing and speaking about the dangers of centralizing power in the hands of a few social networks. That’s what all this comes from. (Remember this? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/congress-censors-inter...). We have no good software alternatives to Facebook and Google — for now. So we accept FEUDALISM on the Web! Look at the latest post here for example:

https://qbix.com/blog

On HN and at EFF we all diagnose the problem correctly, but the solution requires a platform to coordinate everyone. This platform currently does not exist. And it must be open source, permissionless and work across domains. If you want, come join me in making it. (Yes, scuttlebutt, matrix, mastodon etc. exist but they are not mainstream. SAFE network is probably the best design around, but they never even release it.)

I already went ahead and put about half a million $ of our company’s revenues into building this platform. We have to go the other way — get people to use it first, like they do Wordpress! 34% of all websites now. And then attract developers.

We designed a crypto ecosystem for it to incentivize people to participate: https://qbix.com/token

This is not encouraging anyone to buy anything. Just information about what we are working on. I feel like very few people will get what we are doing until it’s ready: liberating people from giant centralized corporations and giving them control and choice. Like Linux and Wordpress and the Web did.

Contact me if you’re interested to contribute to this platform or use it for your own web projects like you use Wordpress/Drupal (greg at-symbol and then qbix.com)
No, it's pronouns. More generally, it's "I expect you to conform with the way I perceive the world, even if it's not the way you perceive it."

The entire point of a pronoun is to convey my perceived relation to the noun. We do it all the time with possessives and formalities; if gender is truly a fluid, to-be-perceived, non-biological construct, then why shouldn't we treat it the same way?
Why on earth would you want to encourage subway commuters to switch to ride sharing?! Ride sharing is a good intermediate solution, better than individual vehicles, but it still causes noise, pollution and traffic. We need to do everything we can to encourage people to avoid cars and adopt public transport
they need to up their game. that was downright silly.
There's a flamewar detector that gets triggered usually through chat behavior which leads to thread suppression, i.e. upvote to comment ratio, maybe the level of toxicity in comments according to number of controversial down-voted comments.
The photos show a Bell 430, from different sources I calculate a fuel efficiency of around 1.2 L per km up to 333 L per hour.
10 years ago would have been an opportune time, that no one is able to refuse their censorship seems like reasonable proof that they've become too powerful to do anything about.
What's your source for ancient Egypt having mass enslavement? The sources I've read on the matter indicate that ancient Egyptian society was no more and no less reliant on slavery than its contemporaries (like the Phoenicians). The popular image that we have of the pyramids being built by vast armies of slave labor is a myth. Most Egyptian monuments, like the Pyramids or the temple of Ramses II were built using paid wage labor that would have been otherwise idle during the dry season.
An effective CoC simply outlines a community definition for abuse. The use of "glad-handed wordiness" is unnecessary, a simple "please read the docs" would likely suffice.

> Today the Vatican is still a state. The Catholic church remains influential. The USSR has fallen and the Soviet system has been discredited.

The Russian federation still exists, is controlled by a former KGB operative from the Soviet Union, and is actively waging war in Europe while annexing parts of neighboring countries.

And the pope still has zero divisions to oppose that.
I think much of what feels bad about StackOverflow now stems from the surprisingly braindead way it treats duplicate questions.

Currently, moderators close the question with a link to the question they think it's a dupe of. Why not instead let people answer the question with a link to the answer that they think solves the poster's problem? If they're right then the asker can just accept that answer, and if not then people can add comments, post alternate answers, etc.
uh but using "they" as a neutral way to talk about anyone is just fine. people have been doing that for literally centuries, its called "singular they"

this is all about people wanting to be outraged for no reason

This is the concept behind "transfer learning", taking a fully-trained CNN (ResNet, Inception, MobileNet, etc) and removing the last or last two layers. What I don't understand yet is when to use which trained network, i.e. if they have different features that make them suited for different application domains.
when 99.99% people agree then we dont really need new rules

like its pretty simple, use it if someone asks but otherwise just stick with the defaults that everyone understands
Hey there, head of product for Uber Elevate here...it's important to note that our price is e2e including ground transportation on both ends, in addition to the 8-min, twin engine helicopter ride! Feel free to DM for more details
It's for Zuck
Personally, I found Opus Magnum far too easy. In TIS-100, the constraints are brutal, and I often made multiple attempts before I was successful. In Opus Magnum, I finished every puzzle on my first try. You have almost no constraints. While optimizing is still a challenge, it felt much less rewarding to me. I feel no compulsion to return to OM after finishing the main campaign, but I return to TIS-100 every few months or so to mess around with the harder puzzles.

The 3 saved puzzles is a bit annoying, but you can always backup the puzzle files since they're just text.
Uber on both ends is definitely included!
