You correctly point out the non-trivial nature of $1,900, including for many millions of Americans, based on duration just to earn the $1,900 in terms of income.

It's even more dramatic than that however. The person earning minimum wage in Russia will never possess $1,900 in loose capital to spend on such a venture, as they don't have enough buffer beyond expenses to accumulate it. At $174 per month, saving 20% of that, it would take five years, and during those five years something would inevitably happen to consume the savings base (stray emergency need or other life event).

It's one aspect of the brutality of being poor, whether in Russia or the US or wherever. You rarely have breathing room above basic life expenses to accumulate anything. Opportunity almost always has a financial cost associated with it, a get-through-the-door dollar cost (whether that's buying equipment, renting commercial space, or just affording the free time to do a thing).

For the majority of the world $1,900 is more savings in terms of liquid cash (eg in a bank account), than they will ever have at a given point during their lifetimes. It's exceptionally hard for the majority of people to put that together.
This is exactly what I saw too. I'm surprised that obesity isn't up there with how Americans eat and our food culture. Food is as much a drug as actual drugs or alcohol. Don't I know it.

Edit - Obesity does contribute to liver deaths, so it's there.
The competition also can not simply produce millions of EVs. The economic problems are very real. In fact one of the reason they are not pushing it as much as they could, is because EV don't make profit for them.

Towing a car is not the same as stealing a car. If someone parks illegally you are not suddenly allowed to smash the window and take it for a joy ride. Even simpler, I'm not allowed to tow anyone else's car that has parked illegally.

I don't agree with Bird's practices, but that doesn't give anyone some moral right to steal their scooters.
The author is lamenting how much the whims of the child control her parenting. I don't want to make this about wealth but it kind of has to be. Wealth buys the freedom to cater to these whims and make the cost seem justified. This is normal to her because the author lives somewhere and associates with people in similar situations, it's the local status quo. The kind of stuff the author describes does not fly in families of lesser means. Good for her for having those means but her experience is not universal.

You can bet that when daddy is waking up at 5am so he can be sitting in the cab of an excavator at 6am mommy would be making the whiny 6yo sleep in his own bed. The parenting experience would be very, very different with less emphasis on the needs and whims of the individual child and more emphasis on what's best for the family unit, parents have to work, kids have to go to school. There is little room for compromising the routines around that.

Edit: I'd be interested to know why people disagree with me so much.
I am not in the bay area, in fact I've never even been to the West Coast. So I am going to ask what may seem like a stupid question to some of you.

I mean this in as polite a way as possible, but why wouldn't established companies like Stripe just fuck off to another city entirely? It's a successful company with a great product - that I'm sure many people would like to work for. They could surely lure talent from the bay area by moving to a lower cost of living area where mid-level employees can afford to buy an actual house relatively close to work? And they could pull a mini-Amazon and get some sweet tax breaks to boot. Is there some hidden reason that companies like this insist on staying in the same area despite the many potential advantages of looking elsewhere?
I think government literacy is very important and is lacking badly in the US. Our education system is a joke and history is at the forefront of the joke. I know this first hand because I am having to back-fill and bolster all the lessons for my children because the schools have watered down the curricula to an alarming degree. History and handwriting seem to have suffered the most.

Our big problem is that we have too many laws and they are far too difficult for regular people to understand. On top of that, there exists an administrative state that has regulatory authority and can re-interpret laws to suit their whims. Laws are politicized, government institutions are weaponized for political purposes.

Essentially, we no longer live in a Constitutional Republic at all because it has been purposefully eroded and undermined and done over such a long period of time (in lockstep with the near total devaluation of our currency) that few have taken note of the ominous situation we find ourselves in today. We are primed for revolution and it will only take the disruption of just-in-time food deliveries for a short time to foment total chaos. Although to be honest, maybe the food disruption would be plenty regardless of our tentative legal situation.

I believe there are studies showing that relative inequality is a factor in people's happiness. Here is literally the first link on the first search I did: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027656241...

Now, I'm sure you could make strong critiques of those sorts of studies, and I would probably agree with all our most of them. But ignoring the literature as you are is not likely to convince the people who actually need to be convinced. (And saying "well, I didn't experience it when I lived next to a rich person" is not going to go over well.)

> NIMBYs are contributing to skyrocketing housing prices (and thus a growth in homelessness), AND essential city/county/state services require tax dollars

Until the NIMBYs are confronted, throwing money at the homeless problem, best case, randomly burns cash. (More likely, it enriches the politically connected i.e. those same NIMBYs.)

You can’t build enough shelters, nor build them or staff them economically, without solving that problem. You can dance around the permanent population, but you run into the same issue with mental-health and drug clinics. The NIMBYism makes the whole enterprise less effective to the NIMBYs’ benefit.

TL; DR This tax looks like another way for San Francisco to dodge confronting its landowning elite.

The depressing thing is people with his views have been active in politics for decades (and not all in the political circles that currently run the government) - they're just finally getting their time in the sun, gathering together and doing whatever they want.

Even if some of this gets unraveled and the worst actors get kicked out, people like him will still be active in local and federal government trying to roll back civil freedoms. It's rough. Hopefully the events of the past few years will act as a wake-up call for people who were previously willing to ignore what was already going on.

The BBC is quite subtle. It's not fake news and what they report is factual, but the choice of what facts to report makes it crystal clear that they do have an agenda.

A current example: Hongkong. They have headline reporting every time there is a protest while other protests in other countries, and arguably much more significant protests, barely get a mention. This is not a coincidence.

Edit: A lot of the replies to this comment try to rationalise. This is being willfully blind.

Noam Chomsky has written a lot about the issue of raltive importance of reporting in order to manipulate public opinion. This is exactly what is happening because it should be obvious to everyone that there is a campaign against China ongoing.
I feel like news itself is dying. Serious, investigative journalism is being replaced by yellow journalism and opinion columns. Sober second thought has given way to sensationalism and identitarianism.

This has happened because people don’t subscribe to one source of news anymore. Click bait rules the day.
Hum, did the program get vectorized?
The problem with that is that it gives a change tracking tool that doesn't work, giving people a false sense of safety, relying on users to remember to manually diff every change sounds like a security issue in itself, that diffing should be either an automatic process instead of track changes or track changes should track everything by default.
Merchants sometimes try to gouge customers by raising prices greatly when supply is constrained temporarily, such as during a natural disaster. I thought the term for this behavior was 'predatory pricing', but perhaps I got it wrong.
>In my view, if we're going to break big issues down by race, it's smart to address and include all the races - especially the biggest one.

This isn't a racial issue - the decline of Middle America is not the decline of white America. There is no reason to focus on race per se, much less one race in exclusion to others.

>the decline of white America is at least the concern of voting Americans who happen to be white, which is most of them.

I don't think even most American white people view their economic status and fear of the future through the lens of their own racial identity.
Yes! We must rip open the dark havens and sniff out the entrenched interests and shady operators. We need open government, not the back-room deals one we have now. Lobbying and the MIC have led us to ruin.

I don't give peaceful outcomes much hope because Americans taken as a whole are far too ignorant and ill-informed. Reform will only come from the barrel of the gun and on the end of the rope as it always has. Or we will continue in chains as we do right now.

This is false. The direct penalties are listed in the very "benefits" section. Let's rephrase some of these:

The trends examined by UPenn researches in the paper [0] from my first link span from 1990-2016, vs. that CDC report's 3-year span. From the paper:

"We focus on non‐Hispanic whites because their mortality trends were particularly adverse in the last decade and differ from those of non‐Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics.

In contrast to non‐Hispanic whites, mortality has continued to decline among Hispanics and non‐Hispanic Blacks, although death rates remain substantially higher for Blacks than for whites (Harper, MacLehose, and Kaufman 2014; Murphy et al. 2017; Stein et al. 2017). The underlying mechanisms driving mortality trends for non‐Hispanic whites are fundamentally different from those driving trends for other racial/ethnic groups, as suggested by James and Cossman (2017)."

P.S: This is intended for people who are living in the Nordic region (Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark & Iceland)
More and more companies are choosing to do this when they are created. But Stripe has, I believe, over a thousand employees. Expecting them to relocate far away (p.e. another state) is simply ridiculous (I believe the one example of a company doing something like this would be Zappos, when they relocated to Las Vegas). You'd just lose too many people. Now, opening another office somewhere else to keep expanding, a lot of companies do.
You can buy Coral, which is known as an "Edge TPU", which is different from the Cloud TPU that you can rent time on. I don't think Google sells its Cloud TPUs as a physical product (not sure you're want to, it's not like popping a V100 in a server).
Ofcourse they should be felt with swiftly, but when it becomes a pattern you have to look at underlying causes

First of all, my apologies for the confusing messaging to our customer base. This change is only for our .com customers. We have not yet added instrumentation to the self-hosted Enterprise edition versions, and we will not do so until we have a way for self-hosted customers to easily control whether tracking is enabled in their environment. As an example, we currently have a feature called "usage ping" which sends back aggregate usage data, and self-hosted customers have the option to turn it off. We will continue to allow self-hosted customers to control the level of product usage data that is tracked in their environment, or turn it off completely.

We also will not add tracking to the Community Edition, so that is always an option for customers.

I want to reiterate that we are using this data to improve the product experience. Currently we are blind to what is being used in the product, how customers flow through the system, etc. Without this usage data it is very difficult to build a great customer experience.

Well, your comment came across as very snarky and negative, but I wanted to add some information however you intended that comment to be perceived.

I've been using vi/vim since about late 1996. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it's like an old friend by now. It has been on every single system I've ssh'd into (as vi) and every system I've had configuration control over has installed vim. (recently via Puppet or Ansible, previously via Kickstart or setup script)

I've used vim for a bunch of different things. Most Linux distributions these days have a lot of sensible stuff already enabled to use immediately, and I've found that my customizations work really well across Linux, Mac, and Windows WSL v1 or v2.

Being able to rapidly transform a lot of text in a document through vim's composable commands is incredibly powerful. If you haven't tried it, run through a tutorial.
You can also add an authorized user or open up an entirely new line. You won't notice until you receive your bill.

While I agree that no news corporation should ever be censored and should be accessible to all including the "dark-web", the level of clickbait / fake-news level content on the BBC website is getting ridiculous in some areas and contradicts with their duty to be fair, impartial and balanced as the only UK state broadcaster privileged with a royal charter.

Apart from the actual World News section, the front page + newsbeat section is completely littered with frivolous cringe-worthy content and memes that isn't worth paying attention to, neither is purchasing the TV license for.

Yes, but the interval is set in JSON, which is convenient. Besides, there is a manual mode.
Correct, in that I think of a "Site" as an entity defined a layer above the "Domain". However the "Domain" attribute and the "SameSite" attribute control different behaviour.

"SameSite" affects sending the cookie in situations where top-level site in the browser context is different from the target site of the request where the browser is determining if it should send cookies. e.g. on example.site with an iframe to widget.site

"Domain" determine the the highest level domain to which cookies should be sent, regardless of the browsing context. e.g. on example.site an iframe on widgets.example.site or top-level navigation to accounts.example.site

I remember when I built my own social network as well (www.thecaucus.net). The core feature was fancy algorithms similar to pagerank, that calculated a score for each post. This is in contrast to Reddit where the score is directly proportional to the number of people who liked it. I posted a link to it on HN, and got angrily chewed out by someone for misleading people about the number of people using my site. I wonder what they would make out of Reddit literally flooding their site with fake accounts.
Rust `Mutex`es are simpler to use than C++ ones.. so if you just `Mutex` your shared state away, writing an app on top of `actix-web` or `hyper` or `tokio` is dead easy once you learn how to use the framework, particularly if you have already done that before in Go.
yes, this is all purely down to Rust not doing ffast-math (on purpose)

writing a wrapper is not trivial, at all.

what Rust could do though, is add a wrapped float type, that the compiler will forward to llvm saying "you can ffast-math these" That is the approach Rust tends to take for these kinds of things, though no plans are in the works to do this to make floats vectorizeable yet. Maybe we should start such plans?
