I think his point is cash is always better than a gift card. It's a weird social norm that giving cash is lazy (which is arguably true), but what person doesn't like cash? Unless you're gifting $100 to a billionaire, there's no question of its utility and there's zero worry whether or not the recipient actually finds the gift useful.
Cool! I've had the same need since 2016 https://sytse.com/2016/12/28/adyen-for-payrolling.html
>2. New social network

This already exists, in the form of private group chats. I am part of a few GroupMe and Snapchat group chats that function similarly to how social networks "should".

I have an idea in this space- I'd like to implement a new webview or theme for Twitter that shows the most recent posts last, similar to how a DM functions. Once you scroll to the bottom of the list, you are done. No new content. Could alleviate some of the addictive features of the current methods.
You are correct. Here's[0] a great video on the subject if you're interested.

> But how does the "vintage marantz" sound compared to something you can buy with, say, an hour's research with an internet search engine? Including price?

Considerably better in the sub $300 range, and depends at the $600+ range. I'd personally go with the Marantz still, but I'd want to do some serious a/b testing.
"Making something with the resource" must include having the foresight to preserve it from others who would have consumed it for a less valuable use. The "unimproved value" is what it would have been worth if left unclaimed—not the market value of the land in the actual situation where it was claimed and preserved. The difference between those two prices is earned value even if it doesn't take the form of formal "improvements" built on the land.

However, under that definition there essentially is no such thing as "unimproved value"&mdash;unclaimed and unpreserved land would quickly become unusable for any purpose&mdash;and the proper LVT assessment in the vast majority of cases would be zero, or else so low as to not be worth collecting.

What makes you think the people with opinion #1 have real world experience and the people with opinion #2 don't? Maybe some people here just have a different understanding of what the norms are.
It is about unaccountable government servants having power over serfs. People have to justify their existence and hence every day they go to their work thinking "what new rules can I enforce today". This was inevitable.
Companies merge, split up, get acquired, go bankrupt.

It's what they do, and there's nothing inherently dysfunctional about that. By themselves, these actions don't cause mines to collapse, plans to fall from the sky and highly polluting vehicles to be put on the road with full knowledge of the company's senior leadership. If there is a systemic cause for these things -- it's yawning gaps regulatory oversight (and enforcement).

But these gaps aren't accidents, and don't arise in a vacuum, either. Nor are they mere byproducts of what should otherwise by a working system.

In effect, they're there by design. They are exactly the desired outcomes of a system -- and the governing ideology behind it -- that enshrines the "right of capital" as a fundamental right. And which (not coincidentally) seeks to protect the exercises of this "right" from the inevitable consequences of their actions, as much as it can get away with doing so. With carnage and tragedy being the inevitable results.

Because that's what it was designed to do.

More to the point, Clojure is in 2020 the only Lisp that matters. If ypu want to develop a Lisp that attracts the attention of people who work on things that make actual money, your best bet is to port Clojure.
Right, but a bit more subtle. The Cafe was invited to apply for conditional use. It appears (from my limited research) that within the Financial District (and whatever overlays might apply) ground floor office use is not allowed by right. Conditional use means that office use on the ground floor requires approval based on what is actually proposed. The Cafe might readily be approved as a conditional use or might be approved after a few adjustments. It's just not approved by right.

For what it's worth, reading the appeal reminds me why its worth paying a high dollar real-estate lawyer who deals with the planning department all the time. The Cafe's appeal didn't address the basis of the complaint: supplemental versus primary use in terms of floor area. Basically, there was no basis for overturning the zoning official's determination because the appeal did not address the basis for the zoning official's determination.
Boot camp combined with apprenticeship model is way better.

LaunchCode https://www.launchcode.org/ is non-profit, no ISA, no fee to applicant. Offers a free slower paced bootcamp (after work hours) that teach you the basics (two programming languages, git, mvc style web programming), but then you interview and place into a paid apprenticeship, about $15/hour, at an employer who trains you for the Job they want you to do (3-6 months), after which if the apprenticeship works out they hire you on with full entry level tech salary for that area.

The catch is it's only in Saint Louis, South Florida, Kansas City, and Tampa Bay.

Not to say any bootcamp wouldn't work, it's just the key to bootcamps working, is getting hired by a company that invests in training their Junior Devs, which is MUCH more important than the bootcamp itself.
And they certainly don't only represent people their mothers like/agree with.
> It's not a straw man, it's history/law.

It's not, at least based on the evidence provided by you thus far.

The Supreme Court has not ruled on the availability of sources today, so your argument can't be really considered historical.

At best you may claim that based on past ruling, the SCOTUS is likely to rule that reviving the rule would infringe on the right to free speech. Even then, I'd argue precisely for the opposite, again based on the evidence you presented, i.e. Red Lion Broadcasting Co v. FCC.

I refer you to https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/395/367.html (emphasis mine):

> The FCC's statutory mandate to see that broadcasters operate in the public interest and Congress' reaffirmation, in the [395 U.S. 367, 368] 1959 amendment to 315 of the Communications Act, of the FCC's view that the fairness doctrine inhered in the public interest standard, support the conclusion that the doctrine and its component personal attack and political editorializing regulations are a legitimate exercise of congressionally delegated authority. Pp. 379-386.

> 2. The fairness doctrine and its specific manifestations in the personal attack and political editorial rules do not violate the First Amendment. Pp. 386-401.

> (a) The First Amendment is relevant to public broadcasting, but it is the right of the viewing and listening public, and not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount. Pp. 386-390.

> (b) The First Amendment does not protect private censorship by broadcasters who are licensed by the Government to use a scarce resource which is denied to others. Pp. 390-392.

> (...)

> (e) It has not been shown that the scarcity of broadcast frequencies, which impelled governmental regulation, is entirely a thing of the past, as new uses for the frequency spectrum have kept pace with improved technology and more efficient utilization of that spectrum. Pp. 396-400.

And last but certainly not least:

> Believing that the specific application of the fairness doctrine in Red Lion, and the promulgation of the regulations in RTNDA, are both authorized by Congress and enhance rather than abridge the freedoms of speech and press protected by the First Amendment

I don't see from that how one may conclude that "promoting a variety views that could supersede the broadcaster's right to free speech only when a limited number of sources [is] available", but I'm also not really familiar with case law to argue fervently one way or another.
How many of those trips are cuttable? Maybe one or two business trips. And businesses would already rather teleconference these days if the trip is really avoidable. Given how cumbersome and expensive flying is already, I'm not sure there's a huge amount of "waste" in the system to cut at the moment.

As for the occasional personal trip (I assume by # of people though maybe not # of miles flown, the far more common use case, only 12% of passengers are business travel[1]), should we be telling people, "no you're not going to see grandma for christmas"?

My thinking is that there should be a high bar to spend public funds or leverage the state's monopoly on violence (and believe me, I'm not reflexively anti-statist: I'm all for infrastructure and social safety nets, etc).

Practically, I understand the concern. I think our hyper-partisan politics has us accustomed to a 51/49 dynamic that occasionally flips sides; my hypothesis is that reducing democratic influence on representation (in favor of RNG), coupled with electoral reform for the democratic processes that remain, would make it far more feasible to build consensus in the range of 60-80%.

To unpack the latter: my preferred system is Approval Voting, as it definitionally measures the greatest quantity of "consent of the governed", and game-theoretically rewards compromise and consensus. A person or policy that is extremely popular among 55% can potentially be outcompeted by one that is moderately popular among 75%.
Really? I might have to take a look at this language then. Making tabs illegal whitespace might very well be a proxy for other good design decisions.

I was only asking why you say it comes crashing down, when the link cites multiple cases of successful parallel version maintenance with a version that is at least partially calendar-based.

As far as usability, time is a dimension no developer can escape. We develop software on a schedule and we deprecate it on a schedule. CalVer is tremendously semantic at that higher level. The semantics SemVer clings to suffer even under ecosystems which have mandated their use (go, node). The effect has been an over-granularization of APIs themselves.

I'm fine with agreeing to disagree for now. I'm also fine with the case that CalVer is not for everyone and everything. I'll leave it with this, a post seems to articulate a lot of your concerns: https://caremad.io/posts/2016/02/versioning-software/

It was written in 2016 by Donald Stufft, a maintainer of pip. Today, pip has been CalVer for a while and I'm not sure anyone has looked back. Try it sometime, and you might find the same. :)
To be fair, almost every non-Facebook social network has failed. I wouldn’t consider that to be proof that a limited social network can’t succeed but rather that social networking sites are difficult to produce.
Negative WeWork comments were about their business model, not their product.

I worked out of both WeWork shared space and at Workshop Cafe.

At WeWork you pay $350 per month (price varies) and get access to a shared space that is arranged like an open office (shared tables / desks). This is for the lowest plan, you can get dedicated office for more money.

Workshop Cafe is (was) arranged like a coffee shop, but with more seats. You pay per hour (forgot how much, but not much) for access to a dedicated table / desk. They have a better wi-fi than most coffee shops and they have outlets at each table.

It's also a coffee shop (you can buy coffee, tea, basic food).

They were both great for what they were offering.
For web frontend, Svelte.

I did a year and a half of React/fullstack dev and really didn't like it. (disclaimer: was a fullstack dev for many years but focused on backend more, and only worked with jquery frontend before 2017).

My next (current) job is backend dev so I haven't gotten a chance to do frontend professionally again; I briefly dabbled in Vue and liked it; and then I discovered Svelte and like it even more. I started working on personal projects in Svelte and hope to learn a lot more. Honestly I'm just hoping for Vue or Svelte to take off as they seem just much more sensible than React, but React is a giant now and doesn't seem to go away any time soon.
I tried it with my family and they still insisted on offering gifts. I couldn’t take them in good conscience and eventually I left that family,

I’m happier now than I was playing their game. The only time I do gifts now are because I genuinely, altruistically, want to share something.
in the short term... and in the long term often enough, because those short term gains can be used for all kinds of naughtiness later on. monopoly, regulatory capture, rent-seeking, and so on.
I should probably point out that I'm talking about an authentication framework which includes sessions etc.
I just can't see any other way for jwts granted by your service to be useful.

If it sounded like your service already exists as an open source solution with libraries for every language... I don't believe it does, it at least I don't know about it.

You could actually implement it with a module in keycloak, but you'd need to write the code yourself. Though it shouldn't be too hard

https://www.keycloak.org/

https://www.keycloak.org/downloads.html

There are community libraries for other languages as well.

And lots of code example for custom authentication flows like

Well, dang, I’m late.

Google image search results for “ling” are probably the best Google image search results there will ever be.

People named Ling, some very photogenic, liberally interspersed with a huge ugly fish, and almost nothing else.
SF's government has always been like this and it's infuriating. But at the same time, it creates opportunities because there's nothing like regulation to create exploitable places.

It's a pity in this case because I really liked Workshop Cafe. I worked nearby and when we went by it felt like any other cafe, though a bit quieter. Also, the area right outside it was very pleasant for it having been there. This is definitely a loss for the feeling of that corner.

> I often wonder if any of this “age of post-truth” stuff would have become popular had the election gone the other way.

That probably depends how and why it went the other way, just like it probably wouldn't have the same degree of currency if Trump had won but there hadn't been a widely-reported on pro-Trump propaganda campaign apparently separate from the official campaign that was being compared to the Russian military propaganda technique referred to in a RAND analysis as the “firehose of falsehoods” even before any actual suggestion of Russian support for Trump or collusion between the campaign and Russia was publicly made.

> But the media got the last election so completely wrong that they have to find a grand theory to explain what happened.

Like many politically convenient narratives, yours only works of you ignore the facts, in this case specifically that the media narrative you suggest was constructed as a necessary explanation for the media’s missed prediction of the election results was prominent in the media in relation to the election as far back as the primary campaign (and actually had been a factor in US political coverage, though prior to the evidence of the propaganda campaign referred to earlier, one whose prominence had faded significantly since the end of the second Bush Administration, since Rove's derisive “reality-based community” comment in 2004.)

I found the in class experience, working with people, being able to ask an instructor who has lots of experience questions immediately HIGHLY valuable.

Half getting it, and a thing working, from some internet tutorial / classes just doesn't compare for me.

Those "Hey does that mean that X, Y, and Z would me an A, B, C? Does it work that way?" moments are key for me to grok something.
> But these are all problems that can be addressed by public policy. Unemployment benefits can cushion the short-term blow to the newly unemployed. A higher minimum-wage or earned-income-tax-credit can help those with lower paying jobs. And a more progressive tax system can prevent any rise in income inequality.
Keycloak and CAS for example are popular in the Java ecosystem.

And then with any JWT lib you check the validity (expiration, signature, ...) of the token. See https://jwt.io for a list of libs.

Yeah a better way to phrase "do you like puzzle solving" is "do you like starring and tinkering with something for hours just trying to understand a logical reason for its breaking"?. I think that's a better description of what he was going for. Luckily I do legitimately enjoy that.

Even as a kid I was would never let things go that didn't "fit" into my brain's understanding of the world. So I felt well suited for bug hunting once I started doing it. But yeah 90% of my time is spent copying code, finding a missing letter, or meetings/phone calls. To me this is much better than other jobs. But it's not exactly glamours.

Idk what most non-programmers envision programming as, as I honestly couldn't have given someone a remotely accurate description of it before I actually started doing it.

Also no idea what he is talking about solving "new" puzzles. The vast majority of work is already completed by somebody else or at least in a similar manner and can be adapted to your own problem.
Well, why not talk to them and say you’ll make the spa happen rather than buying a voucher? A gift card is a crap surprise so why not communicate and say that for Christmas, you’ll make their spa trip happen. Then you go and book it or make arrangements. Like you would before gift cards existed. Sort it out for them so they don’t have to do it themselves.

If she takes 50 bucks and uses it in groceries it’s because she needs them. If you arrange a spa day outright then it’s not a question of money.

That doesn't sound particularly "conservative" to me

Bosch Wins CES Best of Innovation Award for LCD Virtual Visor
Exactly. Many years before everyone started buying computer controlled home audio playback devices, hobbyists and pros built or bought their digital audio workstations whose buss interfaces and device drivers made them subject to rapid forced obsolescence. One doesn't mind replacing working hardware so much when new models offer better performance. But once the tech matures, one resents _upgrades_ forced by firmware / OS / application software issues. Especially so when the performance becomes worse for one's use case.
Imagine, they could be the next WeWork!
But how does "bug" match the meaning of "antepenultimate" in any way? I must be missing the point of the game.

Is it just "words that vaguely, extremely distantly, have some relation, as determined by the neural net"? And your job is to work out which extremely-distant word is slightly closer? (I noticed "gubi" scored very, very slightly more points than "bug" in the demo.
Yes, such unique projects are really a case of make or break! To be fair, the rate of success in the past is high enough to make us confident they will succeed again... barring unforeseen or unpredictable circumstances in the mechanical start up?
You were injured EVERY time you lifted without stretching? Sorry to be blunt, but I don't believe you. You were injured when you were younger and didn't stretch. That's two veriables, not one. If you actually injured yourself as often as you say you did when you were young and perhaps lifting weights without the necessary care, in addition to stretching, you probably also paid stricter attention to your form.

I lift weights with zero stretching. And the vast majority of people who've attended the gyms that I've gone to don't stretch.

Seeing "office use" be more tightly restricted than general commercial use still seems strange to me.

I can understand restricting retail use in areas otherwise zoned commercial if the area can't support traffic from, or doesn't have enough amenities for, the general public.

But what impact would an office have on a neighborhood that a restaurant wouldn't?
This intuitively makes sense to me, but I'm sure there's plenty more research to be done on the topic. As a whole though, I think this is definitely a very hard problem to solve.

If you're interested in this sort of thing, and interested in seeing how we can use technology to build better and more meaningful social networks, you should check out VC3 (https://vc3.club). I started a discussion group specifically for topics in this problem area, and we would love to have you join the conversation.
If the self-study path takes a few months longer, it probably isn’t worth it from the perspective of opportunity cost.

Spending $10-20k to get that tech job a few months sooner is a good deal.
i've not heard that about reselling ISAs. what's the source? which camps do that?

the "other issue" is not true of the ones I've seen. most ISAs have an expiration date far shorter than 3 years. the ones in SF I've seen are 1 year.

the "catch" that most people don't talk about with ISAs is that you have to actively job hunt and the school with hold you accountable for that e.g. submitting an minimum number of applications a week, going to networking events, reaching out to recruiters, etc., and if you fail to meet a minimum weekly threshold then you could trigger repayment. that is a big motivation to keep trying to get that first job.
