You never hear a peep about street parking in the NY Times unless it can be framed as some sort of existential class struggle question and great historical social justice dilemma, all or nothing.

Meanwhile there are some 140000 "parking placards" in NYC that are abused with great abandon by a privileged class of state workers to park wherever the fuck they want, with enforcement curiously missing. Here is a tip for an aspiring writer: don't try to condense an issue into a single column and inevitably come up with the 100 year old quotes of the plight of the struggling minimum wage worker, find a detail and research that.
I'm fairly sure Apple's security spin comes exclusively from the fact that apps on the App Store cannot dynamically allocate executable memory.
My city (NOT New York City) did residential parking in a couple of areas. It helped eliminate the issue of certain workers in nearby-ish businesses stalking residents.

But, parking still sucks, and it hurt businesses significantly. Probably half of the restaurants in the area that I'm thinking of closed down after the parking change. Although the rules are fairly lenient (2-hour parking is permitted in most places), people just stay away.

Parking sucks because in this city there's no permitting for housing units and no actual way to limit or have costs associated with permits. You just need to prove residency -- so you may be one of 12 tenants in a "two family" building.
Actually, no. There's no need or possibility to make it "cleaner", but there's always the direction of making it more "high level". These are very different things.

If you look at https://lit-element.polymer-project.org — it's just a base class that integrates declarative DOM templates.

The platform APIs are not opinionated about templating, they just provide proper mechanisms for declaring elements and having isolated DOM subtrees. It makes sense to leave templating to libraries, because… well, good luck on getting even just two people to agree about how templating should be done :)

>would (kindly) give you the heads up that this is a borderline sexist generalization

No, it's an explicitly sexist generalization, based on the reality that interests tend to be heavily gendered across disciplines and across societies. I also think it's absurd that we're supposed to dance around this fact in the name of politeness when it's right in front of our faces and affects almost every social interaction we have in life.
Yes, if you read some of the follow-up pieces (or summaries, one is from a book), the victim mostly got their life back on track. No one knows their name or really remembers anything about them. The aggressor completely derailed both their own personal life and career and AFAIK never fully recovered. Bet they're missing that Twilio money right now. But hey, they got to be internet infamous for a bit.

The ages are named for the technology that made the most significant difference in history. Not because the archeologists are male, but because you can do things with iron that you cannot do with stone or wood or bone.

I will grant that textiles are probably not given enough attention, but an army covered in flax clothes with wooden spears stands no chance against an army equipped with iron equipment.

Well, non-enforceable.
Price-control (which is what a rent freeze is) distorts market values badly. The biggest drawback is that when the price-freeze is lifted, prices revert extremely quickly to where the market would have been without the freeze. i.e a sudden huge jump in prices instead of a slower gentle rise which is more able to be accommodated to.

There is no good side to rent freezes. It's very bad for business. When imposed, property prices are depressed and nobody want to invest in rentals leading to a shortage of available properties for rent. When lifted, tenants can be squeezed to oblivion and forced to close down in order to move out, away from unaffordable expenses.
A group consisting of only quiet people (to put it simply) is susceptible to one brash person to trample over them. I also find them to be sneaky environments.

Further I don’t think a loud environment (again, putting it simply)and psychological safety are mutually exclusive.

One can be loud and assertive without tearing each other down.

Always distrusted public chargers and USB ports from the day they started becoming common. One way you can address this is by buying a power-only USB cable, with the data lines cut. Unless there's any form of communication possible on the power lines in a USB cable (some diagnostic thing, etc) that can help protect you.

>Tell that to the Fujitsu people building the A64fx chip. (Which by the way turns out uses HBM for system memory. I was dreaming of AMD doing this!!) Or even just to Marvell/Cavium :)

I hear ya, but aren't those efforts kind of like very high-performance controllers for other equipment? Surely the Cavium stuff isn't processing frames directly on the host cpu, instead they leverage the ISA to add support for specialized subsystems, (At requisite cost) right? Plus the advantages that the datacenters are chasing down with this architecture are density related, which is to say a lot of little things doing little jobs.

How much of the datacenter push is replacing general purpose, hot cores, with specialized lower power devices? Who's running The Cloud on arm yet? How many ARM cores are we gonna cram into a laptop? (I would like many, please.)

Wrt the Fujitsu effort, it seems like an interesting development, but I don't envision that platform hitting desktops. Its possible, but where are the units? You can already buy a Talos II today.

>The whole point of "SoC" is cramming everything onto the one package. It's the most efficient way to do things, and everything from the Raspberry Pi's Broadcrap chip to the biggest AMD EPYC is a SoC.

Yes of course. But this bloats the power and heat budget of the SoC by more than a little.

The biggest AMD EPYC SoC (I really disagree with this generalization of SoC but I understand what you mean) is a huge piece of silicon and not the same kind of ARM ISA lego game. Growing an arm die with specially designed HPC subsystems to that size, also including 128 PCIE lanes, and 10GbE, probably means some really expensive ISA purchases or in-house development, if looking at Fujitsu gives us any clues.

AMD and Intel are already experts at managing the power and heat budgets. Reproducing these efforts looks like another steep engineering cost to my eyes.

One additional mention, and of coursethank you for your time: Seems you might be interested by some other ARM ISA datacenter efforts, check out the RockPro64 Arm cluster that Pine Microsystems has created to host their online services. Ctrl+F "cluster" in the following link. I don't know where to find more detailed information yet. https://www.pine64.org/2019/11/05/brave-heart-edition-pineph...
Self checkout machines in the US are primarily a way to have someone working multiple registers. Working retail, you'll regularly see an entire line stop flat while payment gets processed or a problematic item/customer comes through. Self checkout stones this problem by only requiring a single employee be available for up to four registers (in my experience) while customers do the work themselves. Another advantage is that if the store is fully staffed, people with issues (returns, price mismatches, complaints, etc) are likely to get them resolved faster than if everyone with a small order was ahead of them.

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong, but as a retail worker, that's my understanding.

> Driving down any avenue, the traffic lanes have been diminished because of the bicycle lanes and the parking areas have been diminished because of the bike rentals. It’s punishing drivers.

Funny how drivers are willing to blame everyone except other cars. Walk down Canal or Broome around rush hour and it's pretty clear that the problem is not bike lanes (neither have them) but the fact that there are just too many cars for the amount of space available.

It will be interesting to see what happens with city politics after the next mayoral election. My sense on the ground is that political will from the non-driving majority is stronger and more organized than it has been in the past.
And I would say that US treatment of Native Americans in the colonial days and US treatment of Japanese-Americans during WWII were both similar to Nazi Germany's treatment of the Jewish people. But thankfully we have moved beyond it now, unfortunately in 2019 CCP is repeating the same mistakes in Xinjiang.

And please don't call them "boarding schools". It is so disrespectful for the Uighurs who have to endure the physical and mental torture in these camps. Japanese-American internment camps during WWII were concentration camps, and CCP's "re-education" camps in Xinjiang are concentration camps too.
Exactly. The point is it's not sexist.

Ok, but rather than name-calling ("completely biased", "brain washed"), it would be better to add good information in a neutral way, so readers can learn something. If you don't want to do that or don't have time, it would be better not to post, even though it's frustrating to see a thread full of comments you disagree with.

Your true hourly income (something like days worked * average hours - costs of your job) and then automate/outsource anything worth less than that so you can focus on increasing your income/salary.

Hypothetical -- 240 days / year , 10hr days ("gotta hustle!") , + 2 hours of commuting, +30 mins of preparation you wouldnt do if it werent for your job ==> 3k hours per year.

say you make 90k per year => $30 an hour.

It's the streamer who decides when the ads should show (this is because those ads hide the stream, so they should be used when nothing is happening). If they never tell Twitch to show ads, SureStream ads won't appear.
The perverse incentive part makes sense.

For the other part, I have trouble understanding why a dead person would care about anything after their death ...although I can understand them having wishes before death, but any such wishes should be weighed in context for their reasonableness given all factors.

It's a silly headline.

The Bayeux Tapestry is in the Bayeux Cathedral in Bayeux, Normandy, where William the Conqueror was Duke before and after he became King of England. The Bayeux cathedral was actually consecrated by William in 1077. If anything the tapestry was made for the Duke of Normandy, his subjects, and his descendants.

Not to mention the obvious point that I don't think the Normans of the later 11th century would consider themselves "French".

Makes sense! People generally carry different personas for different people and situations. The persona twitter might be fighting for justice, but you are no ready for your uncle to know about it and then berate you to your dad as a made up example. Or you don’t want your non geek friends to read your Linux related joke posts. Etc. Twitter is public multicast as the only toy. Facebook has connections, more targeted messages etc. but I also feel there is a chilling effect there because you are not anonymous, so holiday pics and cat photos and other safe stuff it is on the most part.

I think we can call in the Pareto Principle here. After a certain point, assertiveness / aggressiveness becomes zero-sum (or worse). But getting to the point where everyone worth listening to has had a chance to speak gives you a lot of bang for your buck. You can either have an environment which enables this (everyone gets the talking stick) or train everyone to have a baseline of assertiveness skills.

The baseline shouldn't just be "excuse me, I have a question" scenarios though. The baseline has to be sufficient to handle stuff like "I think my boss is screwing up big time".

When USB power jacks started appearing everywhere, I figured it was just a gimmicky branding thing. Why wouldn't I just use my known AC adapter in a standard receptacle, and be sure that my phone was getting the same power it always charged with. It's very unlikely that building power would be miswired to put say 277V or 460V on a common receptacle, whereas low voltage DC being crappy seemed quite likely. I certainly wouldn't want to screw up my several hundred dollar device, from a basically unaccountable charger, for the savings was taking one thing out of my bag instead of two.

But this is just not the way most people see the world, which is apparently "if it fits, I sticks". I just don't get it - for all of the general conservatism to resist actual change, why is everyone so quick to engage in new behavior that offers no gain?

Well, if it's first party you've at least mitigated some of the privacy concerns, and it's then about the privacy policy of the company in question.

If they want to make ads extremely hard to block but reduce privacy concerns, I'm all for that. It puts the discussion back on a more even level, and if you don't like the ads, don't use the service. The only reason I'm okay with running an ad blocker now is because of the privacy concerns. If those were eliminated (which isn't the case in this theoretical situation, they're just reduced) then I'm not sure how to justify running an ad-blocker. To my eyes, it's basically stealing cable or satellite service. I understand other people don't see it the same way though.

That's pretty backwards.
The US isn't near collapse at all. The postwar era and the fact that the US is the primary consumer of global goods is a different way of saying that the US is one of the most prosperous countries on the planet.

The US could compete with foreign countries on manufacturing, but not through human labour unless you want Americans to work 9/9/6 in hazardous conditions and under environmental degradation. The dematerialisation of the US economy has made it cleaner, more energy-efficient, less physically demanding, and richer, because it extracts value from its global IP, and it has given Chinese workers a step up the ladder to prosperity. If manufacturing is coming back its in the form of robots, and that does very little for displaced workers.

There is no reason for fatalism because the premise is all wrong that deindustrialisation is bad. It's not. The problem the US has is a cultural one where the vision of the Ford company man working the same job at the conveyor belt with a dog and car and a house in the suburbs hasn't been updated. Adjust the political system to compensate the segments of the population that lose out, find different ways to provide meaningful work, and we'll be better off, instead of making everyone worse off.
AT&T Launches Industry-First 400-Gigabit Network Connection
From what I understand, there are two ways to optimize the climb out of debt: optimizing for financial efficiency and optimizing for motivation

Financial efficiency typically calls for paying off the debt with the highest interest first, followed by the next highest, so on and so forth. This minimizes the amount a user has to pay in the long term. However, some people have trouble following this kind of abstract strategy, staying motivated and continuing to pay off their debts.

Dave Ramsey's advice focuses on optimizing for motivation. Pay off the smallest debts first, get those easy wins before tackling the harder debts. In the long term, this might be more expensive for the individual, but for some it is a more effective technique for staying motivated and continuing to pay off their debt.

Ultimately, people should do whatever works for them. Either way is a valid path to becoming debt free
