Note that I'm not saying rent control is bad.

Anyway, imgabe argued that having more and more apts owned by rich folks that don't live in them changes the city for the worse, reducing the value of these apts as well. I'm arguing that having rent control means there is a base of people who live there and keep the city/neighbourhood thriving, thus (as a side effect) helping the expensive apts keep their value.
You have a point, but I think you miss when you say this was a product of authoritarian rule. Catalonia is basically like an US State. They have control of their education, healthcare, police etc, they have their own parliament, and so on. Catalonia already has autonomy.

There has been a lot of mistakes on how to handle this situation but Catalan leaders made a calculated decision and forced the situation. You can express any idea, demonstrate, make your own party, but you it's not reasonable to expect that, if you not only break the law, but try to seize a large portion of a country and its resources, and just ignore the will of about half of the population in that very region, the spanish state does nothing.

And I'm not even mentioning a shitload of things that are also going on in this issue that makes it way more complicated, typical in this multi-layered spanish power plays.
Rumor: Intel to Skip 10nm for Desktop CPUs, Will Offer 7nm Desktop CPUs in 2022
This is actually false and the type of dangerous logic that has brought us to where we are today

#1 may be true in the short-term, if you are okay with selling out your users and giving up your IP but in the long term, you are essentially investing in the rise of a totalitarian state, which does not care about fairness and individual rights and freedoms. In the long term, investing in China today is effectively chipping away at democracy for our descendants

What does that have to do with the point that he brought up? Of course democracy is in peril - we're all climbing a local short-term maximum only to find that it will lead us all into a global long-term minimum. But what he said isn't false. It's true. Democracy will be in peril whether it's your company that sells out to China or whether its a competitor that sells out and then out-profits you, out-competes you, and then buys you out. Its an efficient market and not going to China will lead you to the local minimum.

What we need is firm government action on the part of the US, the EU, and Japan. We need to stop feeding this monstrosity that we've nourishing in Beijing and it isn't private industry that can do it.
As someone who regularly needs to report security vulnerabilities to projects hosted on Github, I find it incredibly annoying that I can't create one of these 'maintainer advisories' (or just a regular issue that's non-public) as an outsider.

These 'security.md' files would work for me just as well to define a security contact, but I've never come across one of these in the wild... so I end up wasting my time hunting down maintainers and their email addresses, when everyone involved would have a much easier time if it were all handled through Github by allowing everyone to create a (draft) 'maintainer advisory'.
Right. Although IIRC there is also a danger of them over-dosing on some of this, if given a whole meal of liver or something. They're wired to like it, but nature didn't bother with a mechanism to know when to stop.
Quotes from Darla:

> "This whole business will be completely ruined. The whole point about being a stripper is you go in, get fast cash, no one knows how you’re getting it, it’s not documented and it’s not taken from you"

>“Not one of those girls had a check for two weeks over $300. There was a lot of upset. A lot of girls packed up to leave that night. I was one of those girls,” Darla said.

1. Pay your taxes like everyone else.

2. Form your own LLC to contract talent out, call it whatever you like and no one is going to look at your pay stub to know what you do

3. The reason the performers had poor pay was because the club owner was paying them poorly. Ask for more money, because clearly the clubs are losing it by not paying their employees appropriately.

Weirdly enough, this regulation seems like it should spur some classic market capitalism in the strip club business. It appears that the labor is in short supply and demand is rising, so you'd think they'd ask for more than minimum wage!
So you think there will NEVER be another waves of layoffs? This is obviously a statement they needed to make in order to calm down the current employees.
> Calling something countless is hyperbolic exaggeration. I wasn't expecting an exact number. I also was not expecting hyperbole.

I'm sorry if I caused any confusion. I meant "countless" simply as in "more than a person could reasonably count". The usage I'm familiar with appears to be different from yours.
Only a few million are tied to bringing high-paying jobs to Dallas. IIRC, the target is low enough that relocating a small percentage of staff would meet their goal.

Prefab system images From Russia With Love, including password managers and surfing proxies, spun up on a VPS operated by totally unknown people (probably remoted to the actual DC from some place with bad water)...security nightmare. When I see Statue of Liberty sticking up out of the water on the shoreline, imma scream like Charles Heston! Need Congress/FTC to set guidelines. In mean time, know that you don't get all the benefits of that stack for "free", you're burning down future hours that will be in disaster recovery mode.
I meant it makes sense that people keep building them needlessly because I would just at the opportunity even if I felt like it was totally pointless.
Every non-fraudulent profitable trade makes prices more efficient (in either time or value), and in this case it's time. Their competitors aren't you and me, and someone is going to make money from the arbitrage, so what's the big deal? The capital they spent to set up their edge just comes out of the profits that their competitors would be enjoying without them.
Not disagreeing, but the article mentioned the element of being an employee and getting assigned work rather than getting to pick and choose.

The tax situation could be cleaned up without making them employees.
I could just the same argue that neutering is in fact the inexcusable and utmost selfish behavior. None of my pets are neutered, and I very much want them to breed in their life.
I think the businesses are ruined—they probably legitimately don’t make enough money to pay a living wage and the necessary benefits with their current business model. I don’t see this as a problem in the long term for the strippers—unauditable cash will still rule.

And frankly, let’s start with taxing other places, this really doesn’t strike me as a place of conspicuous tax avoidance compared to, say, the board room.
Off topic a bit, but I have a small sony flatscreen tv in the house. The only one, but the kids use it all the time now.

Does anyone know of a way to "night shift" those things? Kids are trying their best to get into university, so I get that late studying is necessary. I even get that some kids prefer to watch some things on the TV. (Youtube/Netflix documentaries etc.) I've replaced lights, etc. But the TV is still blasting out blue light at all hours for them. Might be better if I could cut that down too I'm thinking?
Not OP, but I had to go back and double check that this was true when I saw that the Hyper benchmark at the bottom only used 1 thread. Wouldn't you want to test on multiple?
Eventually, some country will implement an AI-driven centrally planned economy that will function far more efficiently than our current market-driven model

Your core assumption is that it's possible for an AI-driven centrally planned economy to be "far more efficient" than a market economy. There are two problems here: getting your AI the information they need to make the right decisions, and the political risks of implementing a perfectly efficient centrally planned economy, which will by necessity cause all kinds of suffering and death as a result of its allocation decisions (which, by the way, will probably be guided by value judgments made by humans, but I digress). Both of these are huge challenges, and it's not clear to me that either of them will be easier to accomplish with a AI-driven planned economy vs. a pure market economy (which also has its problems, I know!). They're ultimately just two different kinds of algorithms, and it's unclear to me that the top-down centrally planned approach is necessarily better, even given general AI and tons of input information.
A little second-hand anecdata: my sister works for one of the big email marketing companies and from what I've heard from her the tagging features are a _big_ thing for customers. You could perhaps try shifting "tagging" to the paid subscription or somehow constrain the tagging on free plans?

The drug companies are trying to price differentiate. They want to charge the insurance company a lot more but not make the end user feel the pinch of the copay that makes them consider alternatives. Its kind of like on business trips, people spend a lot more than they usually do because its not their money.

Being in dialysis, I take a bunch of medicines. One was very expensive buy the drug company put lots of effort to make sure I got the copay reimbursed. Again they were after the insurance money and were willing to reimburse 10% of an inflated cost. After the patent expired and generics were available, my copay went down by 90%.
My thought too. Just don't bother practicing as much, instead sleep more and throw some games strategically.
Very interesting! I'm just reading the commit that fixes this to understand what exactly went wrong. https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/83db8dba09e7
Given that this was presumably published when he was still in charge of the business, it would hardly be surprising if a lot of the list were contributed by others.

(Kimball's no longer involved with CI. He left a while back under acrimonious circumstances.)
This was done with:
- full on pack drafting (draft benefit of a pack is 70% in cycling, so probably at least in the 20% range at running speeds
- laser-guided least distance path
- all nutrition and liquids delivered by rotating cast of drafters

I've also seen no details on the drug controls, which even with biological passport are weak. The liklihood this record didn't involve EPO microdosing at a minimum is very unlikely.

Distance records took a massive hammering as EPO became prevalent (it could not be tested initially and still is very difficult to detect using microdosing), and the records are still falling.

Such was the drop in times from EPO use that there is little chance a bunch of training techniques were invented to compensate for its effects.

People are still on it using microdosing and other drugs. There was a british journalist that willingly went on EPO microdosing with biological passport to personally test if he would have been caught.

Answer: nope.

There has also been a cycling magazine writer that went on HGH, steroids, and EPO to test each of them out. EPO was a ludicrous advantage.

But... news headline justifies everything.
Or get yourself some sansevieria trifasciata plants. Depending on the size of your bedroom, 3-4 should so it (about 1 per 100 square feet of room). They'll convert CO2 to O2 all night - and clean the air a bit as well. They are also easy to maintain.

Lots of title editorializing recently. I wonder what's up. One thing I've always liked about HN is that title editorializing isn't really viewed kindly. So why now?
Ouch, that's no small claim. I was just learning emacs because it's GPL... But if it was stolen then, well, that's an entirely different story... What about the other tools Stallman wrote ?
I think you can stay longer if your position is paid for by a private party instead of publicly funded. That could very well be the case at an institute. Maybe reach out to them, best a professor and explain your situation.

This comment explains, from the horse's mouth...

PS. The comment on the reddit thread is from one of the co-authors of the blog announcing the sponsorship.
Essentially what's happening is that now the club owners have to pay a bunch of taxes they managed to avoid paying before. The dancers themselves were likely not paying as much in taxes as they were supposed to, but now, with paycheck withholding, they're probably paying more in taxes than they used to.

The clubs, in order to compensate for all the "new" taxes, are only paying minimum wage, and are taking larger cuts of private dance fees from the dancers than they were before, and are in some cases tacking on new fees dancers have to pay, like "private room rental".

Dancers might be getting better benefits under the new rules (health insurance, sick days), but might not, since some of these benefits require minimum weekly hours worked that the dancers mostly don't meet. Dancers are also feeling pressure to be less choosy about what things they're willing to do for different customers, since "it's their job".

Really what it boils down to is that these are not sustainable businesses at the prices they currently charge customers, unless they also avoid paying a bunch of taxes. If they want to keep their dancers from quitting, they'll likely have to raise prices enough to get a similar amount of cash into the hands of their dancers, while also meeting their tax obligations. Not sure if that increase in cost will decrease demand to the point where it just won't work.
The right to secede is important because it's democratic by nature, the majority who runs the state has to arrange with the minorities to not lose them. And if this arrangement is successful there are no rational reasons to secede. I'd even say that countries that don't allow secessions aren't true democracies at the lowest level.

To be honest: probably at around 50 billion miles driven with a single version of the autonomous system without any fatalities. That would be a milestone where you could say without a doubt "we've made a leap change to car safety".

The gold standard for other safety critical systems like medical devices, commercial aviation etc. is less than one fatality per billion operating hours. 50 mph avg gets you 50 billion miles. A vision for car safety that doesn't approach this level isn't much to write home about, it would in fact be difficult to distinguish from just waiting 15 years to let the statistics incorporate the safety systems that already exist today.
Same here, been wanting this for a long time. I even started a project called Hypermedia Canvas, but didn't have the skills or collaborators to get it started.

I would be interested to give it another attempt, if I could find someone to help with some parts, like keyframing or tweening. The goal would be to create a fully open source studio to produce rich hypermedia productions using web standard technologies (HTML, CSS, JS, SVG) directly in a web browser. We would build on existing efforts and prior art where possible.
I used Linux as my daily driver until about 2008 when I switched to macOS exclusively. I made the transition to Ubuntu across all of my machines over the last three years and its been a much more pleasant experience.

Upgrading macOS and Xcode is a pain, especially with Homebrew and Macports. You'll have to recompile most of your installed applications and it's all managed with a hacked together package manager. Virtualenvs won't survive updates if Python is sideloaded because of linking issues. It's just a mess.

The result is having to spend an unknown amount of time fixing things that upgrades break on macOS, meanwhile upgrades on Ubuntu just work.

In this case you'd want to discover a network bottleneck by looking at network utilization directly using a command like `sar ­n DEV 1`. (from http://www.brendangregg.com/Articles/Netflix_Linux_Perf_Anal... )

It's generally possible to go 3x-10x faster than Linux if you make some tradeoffs like dedicating cores to polling. See https://www.usenix.org/node/186147 and https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/What_is_VPP%3F Moore's Law excuses a lot of sins, however, so on the latest servers Linux is probably adequate up to 100 Gbps for most use cases.
I'm curious if 3bz is ever actually going to take off in force. The 11ac wave 2 marketing campaigns certainly pushed it but in the end it never actually mattered since goodput was never actually that high, the same seems to be on repeat with 11ax. Intel's 10th gen core line has native support for it so maybe we'll start to see it trickle in through that. The biggest problem with 3bz is it's not like when 10G took over the DC where they could go phyless and drop legacy to cut cost, all of broadcoms upcoming edge focused ASICs are committed to supporting 10 and half duplex still after the fiasco that was the last time they tried to remove support for those. As a result 3bz will likely be more expensive and gig to the user will likely remain "good enough" until they need workstation class and they'd rather have 10G anyways.

I actually got to play with one of the early 32x400G switches recently :D. I don't think we'll be going for them anytime soon as we've only just started rolling out 25G at scale but it certainly was something to behold.

I think the blowback is really just about cognitive load. There's only so much you can expend on social mores before the actual subject you're discussing gets eclipsed. Everyone deserves equal respect, but I understand that when I'm not in the majority in a situation that my perspectives/language may be alien to some of those in the majority- I don't hold it against them unless there is explicit hostility.

I find myself starting to subconsciously just use "you" or "them" and avoid any specific gendering altogether- in this day and age it just seems the least tiring route to go.
I don’t know if I’ve ever written a single pronoun on stack overflow.

I write a question referring only to myself “How do I...”
Or I write an answer with “you”, or I reference another poster by name.

I don’t quite understand why the admins thought this was a good use of energy, but I am also all for inclusivity. If I find the need for a pronoun, I will use “they” and not be bothered by it.
Andy Rubin comes to mind but the list is very large and full of people you never heard of.

Can confirm that your confirmation of M3DB being cancelled is incorrect and is actively being worked on at Uber and elsewhere.

I do agree there were definitely projects that were overly ambitious and optimistic that likely that should have been better planned. I think you are weighted firmly at one end of the spectrum however. I have some obvious bias being involved in one of the projects you outlined, but I still think you are blindly covering a swathe of projects in one go without any nuance at all.

No inside info on Uber, but it is common for options at private companies to have strike prices considerably below reported valuations, which is proper (and adjudicated by a third party) considering the reported private valuations usually based on preferred shares that come with extra rights. That said, I dunno what year Uber switched to RSU’s, which would make this moot.
>The big issue I see here is the proper allocation of this earmarked funding.

The overwhleming majority of exploratory, pre-clinical, and early-phase clinical research is already funded by government grants, particularly from the CDC and NIH. To the extent that this is a "problem", it is one the system already faces. Personally, I would prefer that research funding decisions are made by public officials that are at least nominally accountable to the electorate over ruthless capitalists who are accountable only to their shareholders.
Summary: Gosling gave the source for two guys in a garage (UniPress) so that they could turn Gosling Emacs into small business. RMS took the code and removed copyrights and made it into GNU Emacs.

The Hyper benchmark uses multiple threads. When I ran the benchmark, I modified the version found in Hyper's github to use both the old multi-threaded scheduler and the new multi-threaded scheduler.
