As one of the Californians moving to the PNW, I've noticed the people who most hate those darn Californians moved from California about 10-15 years ago. I've been here about 18 months, and only run into one guy who has deep roots here and was super grumpy about Californians. I'm sure it varies though depending on exactly where you are.
This is what happens when you get attached to a language, a library and especially an idea of how things could be different.

You inevitably get disappointed. Good. Now you can evaluate and see if a different outcome is even theoretically possible.

When you hope, you lose :) It doesn't mean you cease hoping, it just means you don't do it so strongly. It's too much. You know it's too much, so just let go :)
If you don't know these things, this looks like a great crash course. Basically know enough to be dangerous as they say. It'd be great as a primer for any cs degree as well
Why did Netflix pay someone to make infomercials as a series?
On the flip side: high taxes means access to things like public transportation, meaning that you don't need to own and maintain a car. And crime rates in NYC, at least, are at absolute historic lows. The firearms part of your statement really makes no sense at all.

Some other pluses: a huge concentration of culture, entertainment, dining. Regional transportation hubs to travel to other cities is relatively quick.
As a male that dropped out of the academic career path I can absolutely confirm that the author has a point. I made the conscious decision not to attempt to become a professor because it would be nearly impossible for my wife to have a qualified career at the same time due to the required flexibility. Add children to the mix and you are pretty much confined to a single-career family. Which would be arguable if it wasn't for the extremely high risk if that particular career path.
This feeling makes my Bose unusuable unless I'm listening to music. They always default to noise-canceled enabled when you turn them on. So every time you turn them on, you have to disable noise-cancelling in the app.

I ordered some AirPods Pro, so hopefully that feeling doesn't exist while using the noise-canceling. At least you can disable the noise-canceling without opening an app.
The two income trap you mention was the subject of an Elizabeth Warren book sometime in the early 2000s. It’s a real issue, I’m not sure how to solve it, but it seems like a different larger scale issue. Also at this point its a little late. That societal evolution has already created facts on the ground such that in most larger cities it’s impossible to afford a good middle class lifestyle without two incomes.

Given that, what’s a simple thing that we could do to make life better? Make it easier for people to cope with that. Good, easy childcare is one clear way to do it.

It’s also wrong to suggest this is a rich people problem. If anything the lack of childcare is an even more acute strain at the lower end of the wage scale.

Completely free childcare for everyone may be unworkable or undesirable for a variety of reasons, but it seems clear we can do a whole lot more, and we would benefit in the aggregate. Not the least of which because more people from different backgrounds in the workplace is a great way to build empathy and creativity.
I urge you to stop thinking about how aloof and unhelpful you are permitted to be, and consider how minimally helpful you could be in communicating to users of your projects.
I'd be careful assigning meaning depending on a relative time frame.

After all the Sun will swallow the earth in about 7 billion years. I like to think the things we do matter independent of that fact.
We could still have the bottom fall out of the term "AI", since there's a big gap between the present reality - no matter how useful - and the aspirational nature of the phrase "Artificial Intelligence". Take any business that brands itself as an "AI startup", any quote from Mark Zuckerberg about solving Facebook's content problem with AI, etc., and replace "AI" with "statistical algorithms" and it just doesn't have nearly the same ring to it. That alone means we're due for some kind of big correction.
$140 user here. I need DO to stay online for its simplicity. I simply don’t understand AWS and I’m too scared to wreak a subnet while trying to add lambdas and API Gateways. I wouldn’t mind spending double if necessary. Also, clicking in Create Droplet then on a big « $10, xGB RAM » button is incredibly clear to me. Then I « ansible » it and it’s live.

Please don’t add too many services to Digital Ocean ;)
In an ideal world, they would be able to start with all of the world's knowledge in this subject. Ie. they would start with where Boeing is now.

I think that is what OP is trying to get at.
Even if it is impossible for me to revert to a seventeenth century Italian saint, and even if the VERY IDEA of choosing to revert to a seventeenth century Italian saint means I am a new man, none of that shit is relevant. Here is what matters:

1. The new man's perspective is new, and newness is inconsistent with creativity, because creativity has to last. The empirical evidence that proves the previous sentence is true is that the new man generally speaking can neither believe in a creator nor even believe that he can become God. Because he can't become God, because that would requires being able to create which the new man can't.

2. The new man's belief that fucking is a human right like food, medicine, and water is going to kill him, because fucking is the only activity besides recreational drug use (oh look there's another new man's new human right) that blinds the mind. We've all seen a case where a person got into deep shit because he or she wanted to fuck and that lust blinded him or her to the consequences of his or her actions.

I hate your Goddamn way of thinking because it is new. Newness is beyond evil. I swear to God that evil is better than newness.
It's not hard to get that data. The tax rates are public knowledge.

Cook county has just over a 2% per year property tax.

If my comment implied that there was some sort of expectation then I think there was a miscommunication. There's no obligation for anyone to do anything, ever, but that's a pretty useless metric to mark against IMO.

Was this a professional project? Absolutely not. But was this a personal project? I would also say categorically "no", since it wasn't scoped under his personal github profile until recently. I'm very saddened to see something that could have been solely community maintained be revoked instead of there existing a potential mitigation plan in place (for example in the form of a foundation or Org) for situations like this, especially since this has happened twice before and it's sadly caused burnout for the main developer. Again, no obligation to do this but why can't I say "man, that's true that he could follow these actions but that's also shitty" at the same time?
> "we don't want anyone who isn't upper middle class"

This is precisely what it is. They're teachers, for crying out loud.

The US hasn't really done 'giant tower block' public housing for decades. That's just scare tactics.
That and property tax on high-value housing is basically no longer deductible either.

I think Republicans backed this plan hoping it would create pressure to decrease taxes in blue states. Instead, the double taxation has only incensed taxpayers like me.
Did they attempt to contact you in those 5 weeks?

A lot of people seem willing to blame you without knowing the answer to this question.

On a different note, this kind of thing is probably one of the top threats to the survivability of a cloud-powered site or service. Alongside vandalism by disgruntled (ex-)employees, I imagine it happens far more often than outages in cloud providers' infrastructure.
My dad spent almost all of my waking childhood at work and I still feel really sad and hurt about that. I suspect everyone has similar repressed resentment towards their providers, and professionals should really consider that when they're planning their families.
This is kind of like saying "its technically not illegal!", in the same way it's not illegal to open the door for someone and then shut it as they are about to walk through. We are talking about social contracts that are not written but are collectively understood to some degree.
If you like these thought experiments, consider that I’m not actually responding to your comment, but I am actually mashing the keys randomly and it only appears to form a response by coincidence. We are not actually communicating with each other.
Or, you know, they just want to move to a smaller city. Houston's still a third as dense as LA, NY or Chicago so its not like politics are the only differences.
The Right Time for Deep Tech
Very well said.

I've had trouble knowing where to start, sometimes spending days working on the wrong part of the system, playing wack-a-mole because I hadn't figured out the right root of my pain.

Going to PT helped a whole lot, reading Robin McKenzie and Jim Johnson is great, but I also really like Jeff Cavaliere's technical explanations on his ATHLEAN-X YouTube channel [1]. He's a physical therapy and strength coach that gets crazy on his body with a magic marker and shows you how a chain of issues drives common problems. That deepened my understanding a lot, layering on top of all the other resources.

Airbnb patents AI that judges if you have neuroticism, narcissism, psychopathy
They're referring to the maintainer's conscious decision to reject a patch made in good faith, that fixed the issues that had been pointed out. It was rejected with the statement "this is boring." Do you think this behaviour is justifiable?

> I think you are confused

You sure?
I like that metaphor. Squatting is the integral part of my routine, either for heavy with 5x5 stronglifts or for reps/volume as a warm up when doing a shorter/lighter arm filler day session. For me the hardest exercise is still probably the deadlift, fortunately doesn't come up every day. ;)

I have a garage setup, so trying to work out 5-6 days a week by mixing it up. The rack, flat bench, Olympic barbell + ez bar, plates, rubber mats is truly everything I need - and all for less than a highest end phone. It will last my lifetime, and extend it as well. (I ride to work for cardio.)

And yes, the lifting feels like such a relief compared to dealing with family or work. It's amazing how much it can clear the mind.

This is more programming language theory, or, rather the PL-theory portion of formal methods, which is a small portion of formal methods research. Most formal methods research these days focuses on sound static analysis, model checking and concolic testing, techniques that are showing better scalability than the deductive methods favored by PL theorists.
> companies can go from research to product that ostensibly makes a difference at scale with a speed that absolutely no University could.

Isn't that the point of being an academic? That you don't have much, if any, interest in generating a product?
NM is indeed pretty sparse. We list 20 places with pinball. 11 are in Albuquerque.
Uhh, I just loaded the map and couldn't find this credit?
Why your first job out of college matters
A woman would still need almost a year of special work consideration for the pregnancy, appointments, and post-birth recovery, even if they're not a primary care giver afterwards.
But I can't fork it, not where it matters, that's the point. Me forking it doesn't get it distributed to all the services I use, some provided by the government for example. This is my point, as a customer, my forking doesn't affect my usage, usage that may be completely out of my control.

There have been times when society has decided that some utility was important enough to "transfer ownership" (imminent domain for example). Obviously that is an extreme case, and I am not advocating for that (in fact I am against that), but I am demonstrating that precedent exists for the feeling that some things ingrain themselves enough such that if you want to abdicate responsibility you should perhaps consider abdicating ownership. More than anything, I am trying to help explain how the other side feels.

But, as a trivial example, it's certainly not the case that they owe you nothing in the strictest sense. Under that model, they could technically put in code to forward all data to their servers and fall back to "well, as is, that's how we wanted it". I think that wouldn't hold up in court. There appears to be at least the basic expectation of good faith (and lack of criminality). Given that, perhaps it can be extended to negligence too. Perhaps not.

My position is actually a rather soft one, it's "If you heavily pitched your project and it ended up in the control systems of nuclear reactors, you should maybe expect people to be pissed at you if you willingly block critical fixes because you deem them boring". See, I'm not even saying what you should do, just more of a like "well, what do you expect".
Unlimited leave is one of the those things that sounds great on the surface, but in practice not so much.

First of all, it's literally not unlimited and effectively boils down what you would've normally had anyway. But because of the murkiness and psychology involved it often results in people taking less time off than if they simply had N days of allocated vacation. It also means that if you quit or get laid off, the time you didn't take is worth $0. Additionally, as was alluded to, I've seen it breed resentment when people are seen as taking too much vacation.

The company has a big upside though, as they have less liability on the books.

Required minimum would help, but that's very rare.
Increasing a single cell battery system over 10Ah is not trivial.
First, the RK3399 and it's companion PMIC is designed with single cell applications primarily.

Second, I don't know the exact reason why, but commonly available lithium cells top out at 10Ah. Even many fuel gauge ICs don't support cells larger than that.

Adding another cell requires substantial development (design/source the pack, balancing and charging circuit) and extra BOM cost, whereas single cell involves copying reference design (which I know because I'm designing hardware product around RK3399 and ~70Wh battery pack)

TL;DR; Can be done, but developers probably wanted to reduce the risk and stay on commonly walked path.
> Petty crime is increasing, and state laws are only enabling this - people are sick of it.

I wonder if people considered voting the politicians who made these laws out. Judging from CA voting patterns, probably not. And then when it gets really bad, they move to another state and likely vote for the same policies that caused them to move in the first place.
... wait. Didn't you just argue against broad pattern matching and then use logic that supported it?

Given your reasoning, why shouldn't someone note the plethora of successful Steve's and say, "Our team needs more Steves! Look at my pattern matching! Steves work!"
> an Amazon's Choice banner

For those who don't know: despite having a name that implies curation, Amazon does not choose "Amazon's Choice" at all. It simply indicates which product is most popular, based on reviews that are widely known to be faked. Yet another utterly deceptive dark pattern.
I remember seeing, I think in Netflix’s Explained series, that the salary differences between men and women were the same as the differences between women with children and women within children, making raising children the primary cause for the average salary disparities. This article rings true with that.
This is essentially all people like Bernie are proposing, it's really insane how much backlash there is against the idea from people who would only benefit from such a redistribution of wealth. It's Stockholm Syndrome 100% honestly
Why not have the admin panels configuration stored in a database itself instead of json? And use the admin panels to add more admin panels...
If you want to explore this exodus yourself, one of the things you can do is use the uhaul.com website. They have dynamic pricing based on availability and demand. At the current time, renting a 26' truck to move one-way from Mountain View CA to Dallas TX will cost you $4,230. But driving the opposite direction will only cost you $846.
That's not necessary (and is even less likely): the "you" at any given instant would be a Boltzmann brain with the memory of existing at previous instants.

This is brand new technology. It's going to take a few years to reliably productionize - and most of the applied solutions will look nothing like the research. Many real world problems are going to combine multiple neural nets into systems with specific applications and there's a lot of detail to work out.

The hype may collapse in the short term, but that's only because many of the first movers are stereotypical tech startups who overpromise without truly understanding the problem or solution spaces and therefore underdeliver.

But, speaking from personal experience, some of the tech has already been proven - one example is massively accelerated modeling as an alternative to slow finite difference/finite element simulation with 99% accuracy, which will in the next 6-12 months totally change the approach to a wide range of modeling problems, and enable a totally new form of work where instead of setting up a model and waiting days or weeks, one may iterate effectively in real time. There are emerging solutions to knowledge management and "intelligent" data harvesting, where ML outputs are being manipulated in a rudimentary form of reasoning. Think specialized industries like petroleum, mechanical engineering, EM engineering - plenty of "layman" related features like recommendation engines are going to flop, but the cat is out of the bag for heavy industrial knowledge work. Just give it some time - we are on the cusp of a monumental leap in R&D across the spectrum of human endeavor. Very exciting times.
No, they interchanged miles with m, and in a weird unintuitive way at that. m isn't even standard for miles, it's standard for meters, and just before that miles was written instead of shortened - it's not just confusing it's also terribly presented. At least yr is intuitive, nothing about m is easily understood even given the context (which is why so many other people are complaining about it).
For me it stopped being convenient because I was getting too many fakes and too much garbage. Yes, those aluminum tent stakes are cheaper but they're also not designed with the same level of care as the ones you get locally. And it really matters if you're expecting them to stay in the ground and not saw through your guy lines.
We haven't decided whether to offer that for this course. It's a pretty big expense and we want to run SUS more often. So...TBD. (Eric SUS facilitator)
Serious question:do you still vote Democrat?

He said "Houston," so chances are the answer is yes.

People outside of Texas like to pretend that it's a solid red state. They conveniently don't bother to look at electoral maps and pretend that Austin doesn't exist so long as they can make jokes about where someone else lives.
This is not new behaviour out of Amazon. I mean... look at what happened with Diapers.com (Quidsi) and Zappos back in the earlier days. Amazon approaches most deals with "Play our game our way in our stadium or we'll ruin you. Oh, by the way, you have to pay rent on the stadium and if you make too much money we may just ruin you anyway."

One of the most compelling reasons to not use AWS is every time a company does something novel and has any business relationship with Amazon, they start a competing business. From that perspective, they're a huge IP risk. If they can't win at the competition they try to buy the company. If they can't buy the company, they use their deep coffers and dominant e-retail position to apply unethical (if not illegal) screws.

They're pretty much the modern equivalent of Standard Oil or U.S. Steel.

I don't really believe that it will happen, but I really hope that Congress gets off their butt and does something about it.
How about the variance difference: men and women are equally intelligent on average. However, the variance is different so that there are more stupid men but also more intelligent men.

Could the drop-out rate simply reflect the higher share of men who are able to fulfill the functions that are required at those higher positions?
I just wanted to say thank you for providing an amazing service. DO is my number one preferred cloud because using Azure and AWS is incredibly difficult because of their UI. Thank you.
I am honestly confused by this line of thinking. what should projects do in your opinion? should there be a LEGAL-LICENSE and SOCIAL-LICENSE?

I believe that the legal is the "top-level" statement that sets expectations all the way down.
The waste occurred when the item was manufactured, not when it was sent to you. Given that nobody wants it, creating it was a destruction of the value of the raw materials that went into it. Whether you throw it away or do anything else with it is irrelevant; the value is already destroyed.

Worrying about the fate of that watch-strap is a bit like fishing some food-soaked plastic wrap out of your garbage bin, and then feeling bad about throwing it back into the garbage bin. The plastic became non-recyclable earlier on, when it interacted with the food during packaging. It interacted with the food before you ever bought it. The standalone recovery-value of the plastic wrap was destroyed in the manufacturing facility, and would be destroyed whether or not you chose to buy the item. Just like those cheap watch straps nobody wants would have been manufactured whether or not there was demand for them. (Because there isn't demand for them, and they still clearly are manufactured.)

So if some random person on the side of the street gave away browny, and had a sign like that, I'd do a bit of personal investigating first before eating it, like looking at the ingredients, asking for expiry, and all that. Which you can do for open source software, by just looking at the source code.
They used to be pretty consumer-centric a decade ago, but personally I pretty much stopped buying on Amazon in the last couple of years.

Having to inspect the items for counterfeits, dealing with support if the item isn't functional (or slightly defective), getting messages from sellers to "make sure to write us a 5 star review", eventual consistency on the shopping cart price (eg. if the price of an item increases between adding it to the cart and checking out, there's no big red warning like "hey this item is 30% more expensive than when you put it in your cart three minutes ago, are you sure you want to check out at this new price"), awful delivery experiences, it's just not worth the hassle anymore IMO.
Imagine having to pay 70k plus a month so people searching for your company name do not get redirected to a competitor using your company name to advertise their business.

also lets be real there's really one 1 search engine.
Yes, this. Also, that even Boeing partially lost track of it along the way.
