This comment shouldn't be downvoted: It gets at a low level asymetry in the problem. Only some men are actively problematic, but the combination of some problematic men and most non-problematic men tolerating or excusing their behaviour, puts all the women in the group in a position of dealing with the bad behaviour of "the problematic some".

In the past, this meant what's identified in the article: they would avoid the harasser when possible, and the presence of harrassers like Asimov was a deterrent to participation. Also, as with Harvey Weinstein, Jian Ghomeshi and others, there was a whisper network around him to ensure that women were warned of his behaviour. Male scifi writers would happily spend an evening drinking with him at a convention, unaware of any risk; females kept their distance as much as professionally possible.

Asimov knew, and was proud of, his status as "lech" (his word); I wonder if he was aware of the extent to which women tried to keep their distance from him.

This is a common theme that recurs amongst various forms of oppression: the oppressor's group doesn't have to think about the problem (this is a big part of privilege, btw), while the oppressed are forced to be aware of it and at least prepared to deal with it constantly.

I'm not quite certain, it seems the only change is integratio of ChaPoly1305 as an encryption method. But really, you should be switching to Wireguard, if all your devices support it.

OpenVPN is a mess, both in code and configuration, getting it to work as you want can be more difficult than editing Xorg.conf.

Wireguard is very very easy to setup (simple enough to fit the entire configuration plus encryption keys into an QR code you can scan with the Android App).
Google in particular doesn't have an incentive to direct people to the independent web. Every year, there are fewer organic links in search and more ads and more links to Google properties.

One of the worst changes is their effort to hide Wikipedia results for anything health-related and instead send you to "reputable" sites that will hit you with multiple pop-ins, heavy advertising that harms the reputation of the sites, and content sliced thin like salami to increase page views and ad impressions.

The same is also true of "reputable" sites like anandtech, which post good articles, but have the problem that there are so many ads on the site that the ads interfere with the other ads on mobile.

So far as ODP/DMOZ, that ran into the problem that the editors became corrupt and pretty soon the only way to get into the directory was to bribe an editor.

It's a tough problem.
> I think what society is really missing is this sense of belonging.

Social capital is what gives people this sense of belonging - of being in a "tight knit tribe". I think that conservatives understand this a lot better than progressives, who tend to see everything about society in terms of either material conditions (wealth vs. poverty), or zero-sum power relations where one side 'wins' and the other side 'loses'. It's not clear that these matter all that much. Plenty of people throughout history had very little in the way of material resources, and were required to answer to people, institutional frameworks etc. exerting some sort of power on them - and yet, they still found lots of ways to smile and be happy at their life. We should understand how they managed to do that.
Wealth for whom? If the money is going into poor people's pockets, things will improve, but inevitably capitalism, and specially neo-liberalism, will only be lining rich people's pockets. We're seeing that happen right now across the globe, and we're seeing popular uprisings in response to that.

Arctan, yes; division by zero, no.

Boeing engineers probably were skilled enough to account for zero division errors in their software, considering that the software works for eastward-pointing reciprocals. It's the sign function returning an unexpected value for zero and causing problems down the pipeline.
Recital 30 specifically calls out IP addresses: https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-30/

While the wording of the Recital leaves some ambiguity as to whether an IP is automatically Personal Data under the GDPR, its specific call-out would make arguing that it is not difficult. This would particularly be the interpretation of American lawyers, who tend to assume that no connection is too tenuous to be held against their client by a shrewd prosecutor or regulator and will thus advise their client to treat all IPs in all situations as Personal Data.
Then there will be very very few pedestals, and small ones when there are at all. I have no trouble believing that everyone has done or said or caused something that could be called out.

I am not making excuses or forgiving anyone. I'm just trying to point out that using today's "acceptable" to judge the past will devalue everything that's ever been accomplished.

E.g., no doubt Salk had ideas about male/female roles in society that would be considered poorly today. That should be acknowledged as part of his time. Does that affect the success of the polio vaccine?
This is a great analysis about why the retaliation had to be quick, never thought of it!
Could you elaborate on your thinking in regards to loops? I honestly can't think of anything like that. It's not like the Romans were focused on prosperity and then the dark ages were spiritual - as near as I can tell, for the movers and shakers it's always been about power, and for the underclasses it's survival, just with whatever veneer you want to put on it.

In fact it's only recent that the commoner could even aspire to wealth, regardless of whether that actually correlates to ability to achieve it.
I think the difference is we know as much as can know about it already. He is a research economist looking to acquire data, not solve problems.
Managing tenants can be more trouble than it's worth. The people buying up these properties likely prefer security and liquidity more than maximizing their return. Tenants make the building more difficult to sell because they often come with very long leases.

There's also a strategy of waiting for rent prices to appreciate enough before leasing to corporate clients. You could get 10y $1000/mo from a small time coffee shop, or you can wait 5 years and maybe get Starbucks locked into a 10y, $5000/mo lease after the area grows up a bit.

They could make more money shaping speech and media consumption more intelligently and purposefully, as opposed to the charade of playing the part of a neutral party and wire operator.

Would be more honest for them to just come out and say, "as a collective we have some bias, and we have decided in certain areas that it makes the world a better place to amplify and reinforce that bias, including but not limited to: yyy, zzz." They could shape elections by their choosing, instead of elections being won by whoever uses Fb as a tool. They just need to come to terms with their place in the world exerting editorial voice, like the WSJ or NYT.
???

If anything, conservatives and liberals, due to their devotion for capitalism, are united in fracturing people and communities. That's just the natural end goal of an economic philosophy that views everything via the lens of corporate profit.

Thanks for the checking out the language thoroughly, that's appreciated.

With "delete _", you are correct, the "_" refers to "the value in question", which is mRand in that case. When you have a switch statement, the "_" refers to the value being switched over.

The "." type is a special type meaning "the expected type here". So that's explicitly casting to the expected type, since an implicit cast from float to int is not allowed.

One of the reasons for calling out Asimov like this is to establish that the norms that allowed him to get away with his behaviour are no longer acceptable, and to prevent this generation from pointing to them as models or excuses. There's a thoroughly practical reason for disinterring the greats like this.
Our internet communications are way more intimate than physical or telephone or bank record searches of the past (which was the scope of the law when these things were legislated). These search and seizure laws have been grandfathered in unreasonably imho. A person's google searches are literally his thoughtstream, they are private expression that doesn't incite anything, and there is no reason why anyone would judge people by their thoughs. Police used to need torture to get this kind of data, it shouldn't be handed to them on a platter. imho it's very different
Cowen is something of a libertarian AFAIK, and seems to be hard to predictably position. So...

Top YC companies analyzed by Google search growth

I felt this way too. At least one thing is blatantly wrong though: there is no discipline of institutional criticism. This is literally what political science deals with.
Best case it will apply to commercial properties. I dont foresee changes to prop 13 for residential. They would also have to undo rent control, which is sort of like non-owners prop 13.
Even before SwiftUI (which is a paradigm shift), Apple released the NSLayoutAnchor API, which superseded VFL.
I see how you could interpret his post that way, but saying that Cowen does not actually read books is... not knowing the guy very well :)

His perspective I believe is that a lot of those points have been studied, but need a fresh look, and are the most likely to be intellectually disrupted if you want.
Tools for API Development
Hi everyone, I used the YC top companies list for 2019 as a source for the company names to use (https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/).

Then I’ve ranked them by Google search volume growth over the last 10 years (ie. the gradient in the charts).

I did have to exclude some companies from the source list if they have names similar to common everyday keywords. This is because it’s hard to attribute specific search numbers to the company or the other meaning, like for example “Front”.

Any other questions about the data or anything just let me know!
Usually the pattern is allow a local small business lease to expire and wait for a big company that will pay at the highest end of the market or above market rents. So kick out local business with thin margins who wants to negotiate the rent and wait for Starbucks or Chipotle to pay you $$$.

No clue if it is actually financially beneficial for the renter but many believe it's beneficial to keep a store empty to wait around for a big company to want the property rather than committing to a small entity who can't pay big company rates.

Tenants also make the building more difficult to sell, if you are trying to sell.
Operation AppleJeus Sequel
Because plants have chosen to specialize into nitrogen-eating and non-nitrogen eating. So in nature there isn't a problem because these plants mix.

Grass puts Nitrogen into the soil. There are other plants, but grass is the most well-known. Things like corn or grain take nitrogen out, and use it. In nature these plants grow centimeters apart, so there is no problem. There's a nitrogen cycle. However if you want much denser grain, you can only have grain.

So now we've got agriculture, and it requires density. Large plots of land where you've got nothing but grain. Nitrogen goes out, doesn't come back in. Grain grows for 2-3 years, then refuses. It dies, because it cannot use the nitrogen from the atmosphere. It can only get it from the soil.

So we found a solution a very long time ago (it's in the bible, surprisingly, although we have figured out slight improvements since then). Do agriculture in a 7 year cycle: leave blank, grain, grass + animals, grain, grass, grain, grass + animals. There are many cycles used in various places, but they're all quite similar.

Fertilizer shortcuts the process: so why does it increase the yield 3 times ? Because you can cut out the grass years and the blank years. Not because the plants grow faster, because you can grow 3x as many of them.

> I remember paying close attention on HN when the Fukushima accident was under way, and there were plenty of people on HN and elsewhere swearing that the Fukushima reactor would never melt down, that it was designed to prevent just such a meltdown. It melted down nevertheless.

Yep, there's a lot of misinformation on the Internet. That said, the Fukushima reactors would have been fine if the backup generators to power cooling had been available. However, they weren't in a watertight compartment (as recommended), and were flooded by the tsunami. Even then other backup generators would have worked, but were delivered with the wrong connector and time ran out.

Many Gen-IV designs are, on the other hand, inherently or "walk away" safe. They literally can't melt down or explode due to basic physics.

I was diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer in May 2017, I had 2 huge tumors measuring nearly 10 cms in total. The cancer had moved to my skin and all my lymph nodes above and below my collarbone.I was inoperable so started 6 months of chemo. The side effects were devastating. I don’t think I shall ever recover from that, mentally or physically.Then I have a mastectomy a month after chemo finishes, to give me a rest.The mastectomy reveals that I need an auxiliary node clearance so have another operation another month after that. I was really confused because the pain was more than i can bear and was thinking that was the end of me. A cousin of mine introduced madida herbal breast cancer formula to me and i used it as instructed and believe me it worked so well, fast and great without any side effect. i went for examination few months later because i was feeling better with zero pain and symptoms i used to experience and my result came out Negative of Breast Cancer I used to have, i felt so happy and alive again. I read more about them on their website at www.madidaherbalclinic.weebly.com and they are specialized in curing all kind of diseases. You can email them directly at madidaherbalcenter@gmail.com to place an order, they really saved my life.
I'm not exactly sure it's "social capital".

My favourite definition of a tribe is that it's a group where everyone gives what they can and takes as little as they need to. Everyone should be willing to give their last slice of bread and be offended at the idea of 'owing someone' for it.

This just doesn't scale well, but it happens in things like gaming groups, married couples, etc.

Maker here. I've been an entrepreneur for 20 years. I started all endeavors with learning as the primary goal. After selling my first company, two years ago, I gained some money and time (to travel). Great! But what about all my learnings and experiences? That's all in the back of my head, fading away.

Not documenting my entrepreneurial journeys is my biggest regret! So I build a journal for myself and for everyone who wants to capture their professional journey too.

I thought having a product- and startup blog was sufficient. I was wrong. "You are not your product!" I learned this the hard way. Your product evolves. Your startup evolves. You evolve.

Now I log, write, and document for me and the future me. No marketing purpose, no judgment. I keep most stories to myself, others I share with accountability partners, or even publicly for inspiration and support.

I think I got a solid basis now, with features like a private log, a personal writing space, and an integrated Telegram Bot. But there is still a lot to learn, build, and improve.

Looking forward to any feedback and questions.
Seems great - I'll copy as many good ideas as I can. The root goals are very similar, but some issues in preference have resulted in very different approaches to meeting those goals.

Theoretically? Every time you hear someone talking about how they dock their laptop, you're hearing someone say they want a bigger screen than they're willing to carry.

Of course, a fold-out screen isn't a panacea: A 17" laptop isn't just heavy because of the big screen, but also because of the big battery to light up that screen. And of course there's the issue of reliability.
> After all earth is a global eco system, it's all about balance, everything is inter connected.

Unfortunately, evolution doesn’t do balance, but rather local gradient descent. Species reliant on one prey or one plant can and do over-consume their food into extinction and then go extinct themselves. Even the oxygen we breathe was a toxic waste product when the earth was young, and while evolution found a pathway to consuming it, there’s never any guarantee of that.

Evolution has had a long time to find solutions, so it shouldn’t be ignored, but it’s also not a particularly smart system and it definitely isn’t directed with long-term goals in mind — evolution can create birds, but not birds which grow their own hypersonic ramjets.
I don't know Toronto, but your description is the exact opposite of what is happening in San Francisco.

All residential development has been frozen. There are a few small areas where very modest amount of housing has been built, but even there it has been with an abundance of retail, that takes a long time to find retail tenants. And because most of the city is blocked from any development; and only small areas get what look like massive changes, it take many years to adapt.

The entire western side of SF is basically unchanged in the 20 years I've been in the area, and the age of the buildings say that it's been unchanged for decades more.
