The broader issue is why a federal court is interfering with municipal policies.
Seattle is booming but I don't see that big of a bust coming, even though I kind of wish it would. I've lived here 25 years and people thought there would be a real estate bust in 2000 and again in 2008. It was only slightly down for housing in 2000 and in 2008 even some programmers lost their jobs. In my area in 2008 the 2 million dollar houses went down to 1 million for about 6 months, and then under a year later were back up to where they were. Less expensive houses didn't move as much % wise.

In 2008 it was systemically threatening, I don't see it happening this time. Yet, I'm a little bit like you, I am hoping prices will go down, because I want to buy a condo or 4 unit duplex as an investment and I've been waiting for prices to go down. For years ;-)

In Seattle there doesn't seem to be enough new housing to make prices go down on sale purchases. Unless Amazon goes down I don't see demand lessening. The only thing I see easing is apartment housing. And we need an easing so that people not in "the industry" an afford to live here. Theoretically more apts should lower prices for condos eventually. But it hasn't happened.
May be better to select by org type (site:.edu) or remove what might be obvious commercial results (-buy -"free download")
Yeah. The same buttons do different things, but what they'll do depends which mode you've got selected. If you remember the remotes where it blinks an LED under the selected mode (tv/aux/DVD/whatever) as you're giving input with other buttons, that's a helpful reference.
Also, the autocomplete argument isn't a big argument, as writing is the less time consuming task in the process.
From my experience, as long as the company is divided into small project teams, a project manager can take 10 minutes every day to have a group meeting for everyone to share what they worked on yesterday and what they're working on today. Call it a scrum meeting or a stand-up or whatever, but it doesn't have to follow any specific model as this will probably vary depending on your type of work.

We have 8 people on our current project team and we can typically finish this meeting in under 5 minutes each morning. We have some people on each coast, and half the people are remote so we do it at 10:30 am Eastern.

It keeps everyone accountable to the company and each other, and because everyone knows what everyone else is working on, it makes it easier to avoid overlap and divide up tasks in the most logical way possible.
I find the lack of pictures and/or equations in this article disappointing. There are much better explanations out there.

>> The more pressing question: Can we actually still do such projects in western democracies?

> I sure hope not. Two sentences by the author dismissing environmental concerns isn't sufficient.

That's typifies a problem I have with internet pseudo-"rationality." The world is messy and and composed of lots of legitimate, competing political interests. The only way you can hope to offer a simple, "rational" solution in a pithy blog post is by ignoring or handwaving away a huge amount alternate perspectives and history, which actually isn't rational at all.

[1] The reason I bring this up is because the article is a blog post on LessWrong, which describes itself as "a place to 1) develop and train rationality, and 2) apply one’s rationality to real-world problems."
> As with most criminal activity, the damage created by it is much larger than the money made.

That's what makes extortion work. If the cost to avoid damage is on par with the potential damage, few if any victims would actually pay the criminal. The extorted amount being a fraction of the potential damage makes victims more willing to pay.

"Nowadays, when it's in half of phones, most consumer smart appliances, literally every internet company, and even cars, it's just wrong. Linux is the default work tool whether you like it or not."

Yeah, that's precisely the reason why my TV is so slow and why I have to press buttons on the remote twice or thrice because Linux on ARM is losing events. A toy operating system not fit for production. Linux never evolved into something more mature, and considering what kind of people work on it, never will. They aren't engineers, they're amateurs and it shows. Luckily illumos continues to develop so I can run a real operating system which doesn't have such performance problems... in production.

Porn is to real sex like every YouTube movie about home improvement would only feature chainsaws, flamethrowers and jackhammers: it looks great - no doubt - but it's useless if you're looking for practical information how to fix your leaking roof.

So perhaps there should be good non-prude material for under aged people that are interested in the subject. If kids have nothing useful to watch they'll watch porn instead, right?

For example: I found a very informative book about drugs at school written by two guys that tried about every type of drugs in existence and wrote what to expect from it and what it's benefits and risks were. The section heroin basically contained the word: "NO". I don't think kids in the US had access to this type of information given what happened in the last decade with heroin because of 'protecting the kids' laws in schools.

Just to piggyback on your interest:

My comments were more in the way of evangelizing Plasma (iirc KDE is the company, Plasma is their DE product), to share awesome features that I'd love to see generalized on all platforms.

In searching for a productive DE, provided you only want GUI config on the user side and can learn to juggle between 3-4 settings panels, Plasma beats them all.

Defaults are very close to Windows 10 (rather the other way around historically but whatever), with a touch of Linux twist here and there (magnet sides, feature-rich title bar menu, etc.)

The more advanced stuff is only necessary to maximize X (real estate, aesthetics, shortcut-driven controls...), some of it becomes invaluable over time.

I strongly encourage you to spend some time with KDE's Plasma, it's inspiring regarding the 'desktop paradigm' insofar as we just want to refine, not disrupt it (familiarity is a good thing for users imho).
Open source does not have to be a charity.
Some languages (eg. Swift, Rust, Kotlin; Dart is working on it) allow you to implement "extension methods" separately from the actual type definitions, even when the type in question is from another module/library. It's as if they're codifying the view that "OOP" is all a matter of syntactic convenience, and can't help us with the really hard problems.
I think a killer app for this could be small screens. You could have a UI with pseudo-"buttons" around the edge of the screen large enough to see but too small to actually press, letting the interactions take place just off screen. This could let you turn a 2x2 inch screen like a watch into one that's effectively a couple inches larger in terms of the interactions available. Right now my watch's design is almost entirely constrained by having UI elements big enough to easily touch, taking up precious screen space.

Boise is a magical city with only 1600-2000 homeless people, as opposed to the chaos of LA with its 36000 homeless!

Oh, except Boise has a population of 228000 to LAs 4 million.

So LA is 17 times larger. So basic scaling would be equivalent to 28-35k homeless.

I think the reason Boise is having less difficulty with homelessness is solely because it’s a small city.
A reasonable take on the topic.

Regarding “if one then all”:
The beauty behind the porn filter is that few people (especially our stainless leaders) will publicly say stand against it for fear of being ridiculed and not reelected.

One thing that I have never understood about this discussion is why it always seems to avoid the following question:

What about people who want to be homeless?

Why have we built a society in which anybody who doesn't accept the lifestyle of sleeping in a static, hardened structure, and working to pay rent or a mortgage so as to have the right to do so, is diagnosed with some kind of illness?

Isn't it quite clear that there are some humans that simply aren't built to live with this strange definition of normalcy?

I have lived on a school bus for the past five years (if you are curious about this aspect, I gave a talk at PyCon last year that might interest you[0]) and I have met literally thousands of people like those I'm describing. I'm convinced that there are hundreds of thousands - perhaps millions - in the USA.

Of people that I have met who live on streets, in forests, in mobile vehicles like me, and in all sorts of other configurations that are not "homes" as we typically understand that word, I think that something like 1% are a nuisance to the extent that some kind of intervention is warranted for the public good. And, for what it's worth, that's probably true of about 1% of people who aren't homeless as well.

Now, in the age of smartphones, small-scale solar charging, and remote work, it's easier than ever to be happily homeless.

Let's stop acting like it's such a problem.

Help the people who are homeless and want to stop being homeless. Don't judge the people who are homeless and loving life.

Yes very interesting. How everything fits together is still being worked out and it would be exciting to see more research to get a more accurate picture.

I myself always wonder about "Genetic memory" and the idea about how certain instincts/intuition are past down in genetics.
There are a few interesting things that we could get from looking at neutrino masses.

The first has to do more with the nature of the mass than the mass itself. In the standard model, electrons, muons, and taus get their mass from the Higgs field. There's a way for neutrinos to get their mass in other ways, but it requires them to be their own antiparticles. And this gives a satisfactory answer as to why their masses are so tiny, and suggests some new particles (although at electroweak unification scale, so not anything we're going to achieve with a collider any time soon). There are a number of double-beta decay experiments trying to measure the Majorana mass of neutrinos.

The other would be if the neutrino hierarchy is "inverted". The tau is heavier than the muon is heavier than the electron. Right now, with neutrinos, we can only measure the difference in masses. And so it's not clear if the neutrino with the most election portion[1] is the lightest or if the neutrino with the most tau portion is. The latter would be "inverted" from what we expect, and trying to figure out why might be interesting, though I don't know that it immediately implies new physics.

There're also other things related to masses that are interesting. Neutrino oscillations are determined by the differences in mass. Looking at these, we might be able to discover more generations of neutrino (beyond electron, mu, and tau), which would be new physics.

[1] the mass eigenstates of the neutrino (that is, the things with well-defined masses) are not weak force eigenstates, so they contain mixtures of the electron, mu, and tau neutrinos

Note that app developers can choose to "reset" their reviews whenever they publish a new release, so those numbers might not be representative of the number of users each has.
Why would they still want to make toll roads? I makes no sense aside from someone wanting to profit from essential public needs. You'd think if a bunch of people designate a small group to do government stuff on their behalf to make life better they do those sensible things centrally.
Adding masses is a trivial extension, though, by giving them masses in the same way that electrons and other leptons do.
The technology is amazing, as seen in previous demos, but how much of it is actually possible in the phone? The video is very underwhelming, showing simple wave motion that was possible using IR, Motorola had it even before smartphones over a decade ago.

Our generation can see how the Internet started and how 4.3BSD worked by reading the Usenet archives, the future generations deserve to be able doing the same, learn how the Silicon Valley in the 2010s worked by reading Hacker News archives.

>But you can't split hairs on the intricacies between civil and criminal law (when for immigration, they're highly interwoven)

Its not splitting hairs, its how the law and courts work. There is a difference between civil and criminal laws and courts.

Point to a single Immigration Court case where the Court has sentenced someone to jail/prison for a criminal act. You can't because Immigration Courts don't have jurisdiction over criminal cases.

>The article is about crossing the border. By foreigners without a visa. Illegally.

No criminal charge was brought against these folks. They are NOT in a federal prison awaiting a federal criminal case. They are in an Immigration Detention Facility waiting to appear before a civil Immigration Judge.

Could criminal charges be filed? sure, but then the Immigration Court would lose jurisdiction, they would go to a Federal Prison and appear before a Federal Criminal Court for the criminal case. Even if they were sentenced for the crime of illegal boarder crossing and sentenced to prison, they would serve their term in a federal prison not in a immigration detention facility, and likely ICE would be waiting outside the prison the day they get released and ICE would re-detain them, put them back in a Federal Immigration Detention Center pending civil removal (deportation proceedings) in Immigration Court.

What do other engineers think of this statement with regard to startups and MVPs? Am I wrong for thinking that monolithic architectures are still the best way to get started from 0?

Amazons internal organizations all have slightly different culture, although there’s a core set of company values (Leadership Principles) that keep us bounded together.

Within Amazon, some places will absolutely grind engineers with nightmare on call rotations, untenable deadlines or deliverable dates, etc. but these things are part of any job depending on your company. What really sets Amazon apart is the brutal honesty - if you’re not performing or meeting someone’s expectation, regardless of how reasonable or unreasonable it is - you will get called out, sometimes in front of colleagues.

Over time, you learn there’s ways of influencing people or motivating them to be at their best. One such way is running a cut throat organization where people end up blaming others to save themselves - sometimes because it is the other person who dropped the ball - other times because that’s how you preserve yourself.

As a business model, this actually works. Running a cut throat organization where people are terrified to go out of line out of fear of losing their jobs - it has worked at Amazon at scale.

But to be clear - not all of Amazon is like this. I’ve been lucky to bounce between really great teams during my 7 years at this company. I’ve had one bad manager who didn’t know how to manage and honestly wasn’t qualified for his role. I’ve met people who legitimately helped me grow and become a better engineer and mentor to others. I’ve gone through two promotions. I’m paid really well.
It’s also done to keep people who can only afford lower priced housing out.
