Also keep in mind the topography. There is about 50-ish miles of mountains standing between Los Angeles and the Central Valley (15 fewer if you deter via Palmsdale), and you have a similar conundrum going from the Central Valley to the Bay Area. By contrast in Taiwan, you can travel mostly via coastal flats.
LA and the Bay Area have many other needs that can be met with good transit. It may not go exactly to the hypothetical train station, but if it already exists its a lot easier to extend to said station.

Of course pills screw up women's brains. But, it's a small price to pay; nearly all other methods make sex slightly less enjoyable for men. A satisfying orgasm without the concern of paying child support is definitely worth women doubling their suicide rate (per the article) and suffering mood disorders.

I jest. Sort of.
The solution, of course, is simple: find a woman, get married, and have kids. It's fairly trivial -- in the vast majority of cases -- to plan pregnancies using the rhythm method. It's not rocket science. A couple who lives together and is the least bit attuned to their mate's bodies and mood can tell when the woman is fertile. Doesn't work for casual sex with semi-strangers though.

One tip: The contrast on your code blocks is terrible with white text against a light white background. Consider changing the `background` of line 3 of style.css to `purple`, `darkorange`, or some other dark color.

Unless you look at long term focused companies like Amazon, which is creating all kinds of value without bowing down to short term market analysts. Had Boeing looked beyond the immediate future and planned to upgrade the 737 frame, or make a new one so it could support the much larger engines, they wouldn't be in this situation. But short term costs and profits, outsourcing and negligence is running the company. Break them up until the have some competency in what they are doing.
I'd really like to see a monospace font with variable stroke width (i.e. with stroke width contrast). Current monospace typefaces seem to converge towards a single point in the configuration space, and by now occupy a pretty narrow range of variation—rather evident in the ‘Programming Fonts Test Drive.’ My eye pines for some elegance among the ubiquitous brutish utilitarian letterforms.

Variable stroke width is really uncommon in sans-serif fonts, so that some people associate sans-serif with fixed-width strokes. But no, such fonts exist, only they are mostly used for display, i.e. big titles and posters. While monospace is not equal to sans-serif, it for some reason rejects variable stroke widths even more strongly.

Linux Biolinum is one sans-serif example that can be used as body font. It's a straightforward antiqua with serifs chopped off: http://libertine-fonts.org/show-me/

Humanistic Rosario has almost imperceptible, subliminal stroke contrast: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/rosario (The font suffers a bit from sub-ideal kerning.)

Optima is a classical example, also reminiscent of antiqua. Lucida Grande (iirc) has hints of variable strokes.

The brain begins to panic at first when it sees stroke contrast but no serifs—but such fonts do tickle me somehow, especially with modern humanist approach. It's a pity they're mostly present on loud posters. Would be splendid to have me a homely playful and eye-pleasing font in the editor and terminal.
Why would it have to be intentional? They are pursuing profit. Human lives were ended as a result of their actions in the pursuit of profit.

Is that not pursuing profit at the expense of human lives?

There is a sort of common knowledge definition of introversion that involves 'recharging' while alone, but it's not a dictionary definition, and it's not an academic definition. The dictionary will just say shyness, while academic sources are a little more nuanced, generally circling 'unsociable' or 'not attention-seeking' or 'experiencing fewer positive sensations'.

I'm very much an introvert, but if I spend a few days without human contact, I start to come apart. I expect extraverts encounter in long-term social contact the exhaustion I experience in the short-to-medium term. Further, I find that I can have extensive conversations with individuals I know well without needing to recharge whatsoever. There's something to the notion of feeling drained in either scenario, but it isn't boolean or single-factor.

Myers-Briggs asks about recharging, but you can say you experience nothing of the sort and still wind up with an 'I'. It is an adjacent effect, but not neccesarily core to what is being measured there.

All in all, while recharging is certainly an existent related element and worth discussing, it doesn't make sense to criticize the article for conflating two terms that are academically the same thing.

Personality psychology is very underdeveloped. Probably personalities shift minute to minute on thousands of axes, and while Big 5 tests can be helpful for modeling and understanding your own behavior, you have to recognize them as massively oversimplifying an 86 billion neuron network. They are potentially a serious limiting factor on how one defines oneself.
Sad to see GNU Guix struggling, they are young though and I have hopes for the future. About a year ago I made a choice between trying out GNU Guix and NixOS, since this week I now run NixOS on all my servers and desktops after gradually phasing out my old Ubuntu stack.

It has generally been smooth sailing, with the occasional hick up that required me to draw upon my general Unix skills. What caught me off guard is how having a solid configuration to revert to has made me start tinkering with my operating system again akin to how I did when I started using Linux/BSD in the early 00s. But, enough about NixOS, I hope GNU Guix continues to make progress as there needs to be more competition in this space. If you have an evening to spare, I highly recommend trying a distribution like this out in a VM to get a taste of what it feels like to use it – it is, different… but in a good way.
No this is mostly for learning.
I've built 4 adtech companies. Page load speed is directly related to ad revenue. Faster pages provide more ad impressions, not less.
I think that's very hard to predict. Just 5 minutes ago I had a conversation with my ex about how I always use Uber for ad hoc travel despite the fact it's often significantly more expensive than the local minicab companies, because they can get someone here much faster. Often it's a 3 minute wait, while I otherwise might wait 10+ minutes. Their app also gives me more reliable feedback.

If I schedule in advance, or need more flexibility in car type, then the minicab companies win, but it's very rare for me to pick them because of price, even though they're often much cheaper.

But of course not everyone can afford the luxury of paying extra, and will just factor in longer waits instead.

Everyone? Virtually nobody thinks or thought WeWork was a high margin software company. Your comment is a narrative that has been regurgitated over and over again, yet who are these magical people who think WeWork is akin to Facebook?

Look at any article written about WeWork in the last 4 years. Every single article will regurgitate the Real Estate company pretending to be a tech company thing.
A quick scrolling through the list shows various issues that have indeed been resolved:

- GOPATH is a mess (not needed anymore)

- bad dependency management (Go now has a somewhat conventional package manager built in)

- immature GC (now one of the best of breed)

- slow JSON parsing (has significantly improved since 2015)

Also, a large part of the supposed evidence for "not good" is a matter of taste.
My armchair physics example would be a balance seesaw and let’s say the left side is the “front”. If you attached a rocket motor (or jet engine) in front of the the CG point would the the thrust push the left side of the seesaw up or down?

I believe the issue is precisely this - the engines were moved (and they are bigger so more powerful perhaps?) forward and the thrust probably pushes the nose up.
Kind of have to conclude intelligence for one area does not mean someone is not a mark when it comes to a different area.
I don’t get this argument, outside of Indian consulting firms, every tech person, whether or H1B or not, earns a top 10% salary and rends to drive stupid BMWs.
I don't understand the weight assigned to factory closures. If I could make all the product in one robot-factory vs 3 people-factories, I would expect 2 factory closures. I think it must be coupled with the assertion that productivity isn't rising. But I think it is very interesting to look at the graph you linked compared to the graph for non-supervisory employees:

> Major highway and road projects in the US are often completed with minimal fuss. You don't really hear about these, because they go off smoothly. The difference may perhaps be that there's plenty of experience and precedent in doing these, both in government and industry, as road projects are constantly executed.

... yeah, I don't think that's true. Major road projects in the US often have exactly the same kinds of hemorrhaging cost overruns and other issues that rail projects do: look at Seattle's Alaska Way Viaduct replacement project, the Bay Area's Bay Bridge replacement project, or Boston's Big Dig for infamous cost overruns that are measured in large integer multiples.

The major difference, I believe, is that there is often massive public pressure to force through road projects when they hit snags, whereas rail projects tend to get cancelled at first opportunity.
I take real issue with the unemployment rate claim. The federal U-3 rate is a politicized number that has over time been reduced to an incredibly narrow definition. U-6 is much better because it includes discouraged workers who have given up on seeking employment and part-time workers who want full-time (an increasingly large population). In 1994 the BLS changed the U-6 to exclude long-term discouraged workers which had the effect of lowering the rate. As John William's Shadowstats shows, when you adjust long-term discouraged workers back into the U-6 rate unemployment is actually well over 20%.

Not just forward, the 737MAX engines are mounted forward and higher.

If you move CofG forward, and up you move the balance point forward and up, reduce elevator authority, and with similar tail mass now a metre or two further behind the balance point, it will want to sit tail-heavy. So they tried to trim it out, and we are where we are.
> E.g. having your security system (my smart home implementation would include a data diode so the home automation cannot effect the house's security posture) notify the HVAC controller that no one's home so it can turn off the air conditioning

Or you could press a button on your way out of the house, and not have to have an array of finicky sensors and interacting components make these decisions for you. Like, seriously, a solution waiting for a problem

>and have the HVAC controller manage the motorized blinds / curtains / etc. so that whichever side of the house is currently facing the sun has the blinds half or fully closed to control the temperature passively.

You have _motorized blinds_? Seriously, how big is your house that this isn't just a two-minute thing you do to go and close the blinds? Alternately, how lazy do you have to be for this to be something you'd invest thousands of dollars into? Can't even fathom how motorized blinds will hold up to a decade of children abusing them... though, most of the bugmen I've seen who get seriously into home automation are childless.

> And to know that I usually get home at a certain time (I'm not overly comfortable with GPS tracking options) and start managing house temperature again ~20m before I get home so it's comfortable when I arrive.

That's what my $50 programmable thermostat does. Do you really get home at totally different times every single day, to the point where no 7-day timer routine is sufficient? To the point where (well, not you, but others) consider the idea of letting a bunch of random companies GPS-track them for this purpose? Mindblowing.

> I'd like my house to automatically close all of my blinds and turn on the interior lighting at sundown each day

Or you could just turn on a light when you need it. Is the wall such a long walk away? Seriously. You'd invest hundreds into each lightswitch so you can control it from your phone, only for it to not work the moment you want to show it off to someone... versus just using the simple, economical, $2 lightswitch that has become a complete commodity item available everywhere and easily designed to last for a hundred years?

Talk about a sustainability nightmare.

> Imagine having a garden irrigation controller that polls rain radar data from the local weather bureau and uses it (along with a local weather station) to decide whether to hold off on watering the plants, in case it rains. And using the local weather station to decide how much (if any) watering is needed.

Imagine missing the point of gardening to the extent that you automate the whole thing instead of actually taking the time to do it, and reaping the psychological benefits of doing so.

> I want a smart home that actively makes my life easier,

It honestly doesn't sound like your life started "harder" if this is the kind of thing you think makes it easier.
The oldest millennial is now 38. This group - now the largest as a percentage - will see wage growth year over year for the next 15 years for three reasons 1) their skills improve year after year 2) employers will have a harder time replacing them - and will pay them not to leave 3) productivity is about to accelerate after a decade of flat productivity.
>I enjoy my alone time, [...] And I enjoy my social time,

>I can be outwardly interactive and introverted [...] Or I can be shy and extroverted

You are using introversion/extroversion differently from me. Your usage seems very similar to the author's: introversion/extroversion is based on the environmental situation instead of an underlying personality trait.

Yes, I can acknowledge that I also enjoy social time with people, but that does not mean I'm both extroverted and introverted. The introversion -- as I'm using that term -- is my underlying neurological tendency. All the hundreds of various social functions I've enjoyed still doesn't change my underlying tendency.

Extraversion is one of the "Big Five" personality traits [1]. As far as I understand it, this means that it's been verified that it empirically exists as an independent-ish variable based on statistical analysis, but it's also not based on any underlying psychological or neurological model that's been independently validated. Also, the descriptions of this variable in Big Five literature don't always match popular ideas about what the term means.

High speed rail is a bad investment. Rail systematizes discrimination, typically loses money, and struggles to provide a last mile solution.

$60B can buy at least 600,000 electric vehicles with 3 million seats. Semi-autonomous vehicles are already capable of operating as a “train” in a dedicated freeway lane and autonomous operation is likely by 2033 (when California’s HSR would begin operation). This solution could be deployed incrementally, with a smaller fleet of human-driven, semi-autonomous EVs in the first phase.

600,000 vehicles may not sound like a lot, but the whole United States had 370,400 taxi & ride share drivers in 2018! [1].

We need to turn the HOV lane into an autonomous car lane & build the future we want instead of tying ourselves to a romanticized version of the past.

[1]: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material-moving/m...

Edit: I failed to acknowledge that autonomous vehicles are not available today, so have updated my post. Note, high speed rail isn’t available either & won’t be until, at earliest, 2033.
Facebook is allowing politicians to lie openly. It's time to regulate
I don't think there is really anything substantive in this article, but if there is one thing we can learn from it, it's that we need to be much more clear what we're talking about when we use the words introvert and extrovert. I prefer the definition that introverts gain energy from being alone, and extroverts gain energy from being with others. People often make the mistake of coupling other things to this: shyness and introversion tend to be associated, and it leads to people saying things like "I'm an introvert there I can't (it's impossible) be a good socializer". The fact that introversion/extroversion is a spectrum certainly doesn't do us any favors either.

I wouldn’t jump to a conclusion as to who was behind this—seems about the type of thing one would do to provoke military intervention.

Protesters do half-heartedly distance themselves from this sort of behaviour, but this instance might warrant a louder gesture from their side. Sadly, they’re way too disorganised to bother (or even to be capable of) issuing such a statement over a mainstream channel.

Lack of organisation makes the whole movement accountable for actions of anyone wearing a black shirt, and thus is very easy to undermine, purposefully or accidentally.

They are built off of the Clevo based systems, I personally switched from a MBP about 3 years ago. In my opinion the build quality is better than anything Dell offers, I went thru 3 high end Dell's in that time, and switched to a Sagar about 1 year ago. Now I cannot compare it to the higher end Lenovo models as I have not owned one, but my wife has had several mid level models from her work and I have been less than impressed with the issues she has had with them.

Personally I would purchase another system based off of the Clevo designs and I feel it's build quality is on par with the MBP's that I used to own.
That does not work most of the time. Browsers send different http accept header when image is clicked vs hotlinked on img tag. imgur looks at the header and redirect the image to the image page when clicked on the direct link.
I understand and perhaps admire the GNU project's insistence on being blob-free, but that also means Guix won't run out of the box on 99% of all people's computers. The options are buy (old) hardware that doesn't need blobs (which sometimes isn't even possible), or compile the default kernel to include the binary firmware yourself (which the Guix documentation won't explain for ideological reasons). Both of these will sadly limit the appeal of this distribution to enthusiasts-only, which is unfortunate since Guix probably has the most advanced package manager of any Linux system.

But the agricultural industry doesn't face "Buy American" provisions in their funding requirements that prohibit them from using too much foreign stuff, which is the norm in infrastructure projects.
Because someone is smarter or better at the job in general that the lower quality specialists they can find. It's very hard to find a good generalist. If you can be a good generalist, you're exponentially more valuable than a generic specialist. I have done mostly backend work in Python, but in my current role I've worked in the frontend with Angular, I've debugged critical issues on our iOS app, I've fixed our AWS infrastructure, I've moved us away from dragging files into windows boxes to CI/CD, I've helped architect solutions, I've worked with our customers, I've led efforts across multiple teams, etc.

Being a "Python Programmer" in no way measures my value to the company, in fact, it necessarily limits what I'm actually capable of contributing to the company. If you can show that you can add value outside of a specific tech stack, you're worth the few weeks to learn a new technology. And yeah, it is basically a few weeks to get up to speed and be a contributing member of a code base if you don't know the technology. 6-12 months to know all of the details if you're a solid engineer.
Lets be careful to no blame a specific person but recognize the general argument. There is a limitless supply of folks caught in the same loop.
Agreed - pilots will not always be perfect, and if the safety chain -> design of systems, maintenance, training, experience is weaker than this will matter more.

Pilot error still #1 cause of fatalities including in the US. In this case bad maintenance also looks to be an issue and a brittle design. You have a master caution on 4 seconds into flight - you've got a terrible maintenance log book etc. I actually thought initial stab trim call wasn't unreasonably delayed - though they did let it run 4.6 to 2.1 over 10 seconds or so, which is a HUGE trim change.

And stab trim cutout wasn't followed fully or MCAS wouldn't have been able to put them into the ground at the end, though they may have already in a bad spot so thinking not unreasonable, except of course you might sit on nose up trim for a bit once reversing cutout.

The move will be I think to more automation and reducing ability to dispatch with things like a flight computer out of service (histrionically pilot skill would cover this now).

I also think they may need to move to authenticated maintenance / self test / parts life / history items. Ie, prevent dispatch on sloppy fixes / sloppy test.

There are no more frontiers on Earth to discover/explore/develop. Everything here is controlled by a more-or-less recognized government over a nation-state. Built. Controlled. Civilized.

Also a hedge against earth's collapse.
