I think this is a fair preference. But if the tax structure weighted properly on by land, you would most likely pay as much as rent being a homeowner.

For example, in San Francisco, de city spends about 2000U$S per household. And if you adjusted that amount of the amount of space used, single family homes would end up paying 3~4k a month of taxes alone.
I don't know what you're getting at here. These are all bad addictions that would result in "reduced study skills" I'd imagine. Similar for other addictions, like gaming or television.

But I'm not sure an addiction to reading, or an addiction to painting, would necessarily have the same negative effect. Sure, an obsessive addiction where you can't do anything else, but that isn't what's discussed here.

I'd hypothesise some addictions have a worse effect on study skills than others.
I'd expect movement of capital away from that economy and a 20+% recession in that economy.
IMO, no. Unlike the last time, things actually work this time. Perceptual things especially. People in the thread seem to be dismissive of those "single digit percentage point" gains that are being made nearly every month in some important tasks, but those last few percentage points often decide whether the system is garbage or useful. Compare e.g. Siri and Google Assistant, for example. Likely relatively small difference on metrics which results in a _huge_ difference in usability.

Another mistake people make is they look at model performance on academic dataset and make unsubstantiated conclusions about usefulness of models. Guess what, practical tasks _do not_ involve academic datasets. Some of academic datasets are _stupid hard_ on purpose (e.g. ImageNet, which forces your net to recognize _dog breeds_ that few humans can recognize). If your problem is more constrained, and the dataset is large enough and clean enough, you can often get very good results on practical problems, even with models that do not do all that well in published research.

ANC is not actually cancelling out the second sound wave, it's exploiting an attribute of human hearing that two simultaneous out of phase sound waves are perceived as silence AFAIK. It doesn't mean that sound pressure goes away, and hearing damage can come from sound pressure that is too high for the hairs in your ear and damages those hairs as a result (ex: a lot of loud sound) is my hypothesis.

When I asked an audiologist if there has been research about ANC causing hearing damage, he said that it would be hard to get a grant structure that would work with it, since nobody is making money from it, and there hasn't been.

In tinitus, the frequency that people hear is around 4000hz, because that is where the first major bend in the cochlea is. It means that the loud sound that you hear doesn't necessarily have to be a specific frequency to damage hearing in that frequency either.

More seriously though, while I am (or have been) persuaded that the restricted environment of iOS generally does make sense for the majority of people, I’d love to see official “blank” iDevices or an open developer mode available for them.

Focusing on the number of dimensions the constructs inhabit, redstone in Minecrafts 3D world and text-characters in an editor, I feel misses out on one of the chief components that guide the design of my code: time.

I consider time perpetually throughout the coding process, in at least two regards,

1. Execution flow

2. revisiting the source at a later date.

Or phrased differently,

1. Performance

2. Maintainability

I think that there are more dimensions in which to reason about a program but most can be baked into the two aforementioned ones.

Maintainability, for instance, is the aggregate of legibility, reasonable abstraction levels, and expressing an execution flow that is serving the target feature while simultaneously being appropriately for human consumption.
I've seen this happening in some countries, the result was the disappearance of the middle class: the minimum wage was pushed up until it got close to the median, now people are closer and closer to the minimum wage. Imagine minimum wage is 50 units and median is 100, if you grow minimum to 70-80, but you cannot increase the median (because the market does not support all the raises), then the former middle class is now close to lower class; as you increase the minimum wage, this creates inflation and makes purchasing power of the middle class even lower, so in the end you get it transformed in an upper poor class.
It's unfortunate the first equation was mistyped, one way to check is that the Bayes's rule can be derived from a rule in conditional probability:

P(A,B) = P(B,A)

P(A|B) * P(B) = P(B|A) * P(A)

The formulation in the blog post would say instead:

P(A|B) * P(A) = P(B|A) * P(B)

which does not really make sense.

Do we have some critical shortage of people that I'm not aware of?
Pregnant women can work except in the last stages of pregnancy and the recovery period after birth takes at most a few months (normally a month and a half should be enough).

But even assuming the whole business of giving birth took a whole year (the full nine months for carrying a baby to term and another three to recover) there is no reason that this has to be the end of a woman's career for good. It's one year. People take one year sabbaticals and go and gawp at Machu Picchu. It's not the end of the world, especially if you're young and even in a fast-moving career like STEM academia. it's not like you can't ever read the latest publications again because you have to lie in bed for a few days after giving birth.

The care you say men must give to their wives lasts at best a few months of a year. After that a man is free to leave work to raise the kids and the woman can go back to work, if they so wish.

So why don't they do it?
Also can't find it, even if I google the label. All I can get is another study which finds the same but attributes it to distraction
> that women are expected to leave their careers _permanently_ to raise their children even though they only need at most a few months or so to recover after giving birth (a year is an absolute extreme), and that men are not expected to do the same

1) This is a conversation concerning those in a relationship as to who will be raising the child (if it's not a shared effort)

2) I know a few guys that are stay at home dads, share the responsibility with their spouse of parents, or use caring services and nobody needs to be a stay at home parent.

3) If they are permanently leaving their career then it sounds like there's something completely unrelated that's affecting this other than some sexist issue.

4) How's what you're saying any different than some women expecting the man to be the bread winner and provide for the family? Or expecting them to be the one to defend the family if there's an intruder in the house? Or expecting the guy to fix things around the house or be the one to hire a contractor to do it? Or expecting the guy to take the garbage out or change a tire or talk to their son about sex, etc.

if questions are easy to look up then i don't need to memorize thrm just to pass a test. that is the whole issue with certifications.

if the learning path would be such that you work with a system until you have enough experience that you can pass the test without having to learn for it, then that would be valuable, but the problem is that the certificate does not verify your experience. it verifies that you memorized certain facts without being able to tell how you did that.
Let's present a new thing called immigration: people coming from other countries. When you come from Honduras, even a slum in LA is a step forward, so people are moving from countries like Honduras to California.

Then these people should explain how all the Starbucks employees, the janitors, and the delivery guys that make their "culturally interesting" living possible should live and travel to work. Just because you can effort a nice 2room apartment 20min from downtown does not mean that a single mom can afford a 3 room one for herself and her two childre. Instead these people are forced to either travel ever longer with ever worse public transport or live in ever worse conditions, usually both. Gentrification is the downside of densification.

And now the hip class wants to get rid of cars in their hip inner cities, because they don't need them. Again totally ignoring everyone that is both forced to live outside of the centre and work inside of it.

Actually, I think the minimum wage should be coupled to the typical rent around the working place. Good luck getting your new smartphone delivered then.

I had both (a gift I didn't ask for) and prefer the QC35s for NC and regular Airpods for casual on-the-go use.

Airpod Pros had worse noise cancelling but slightly better sound quality (clearer mids/highs, less bass).
I think this is very subjective and depends on the situation and type of noise you're looking to block out.

If I could only own one pair of headphones I have to admit that the Airpod Pros would be hard to beat, as ridiculous as the pricetag seems.

There's a lot of details to chase around though. Like were the actual devices in question labeled as certified, or was the Zigbee compliance just an implementation detail of the hardware they shipped.

I don't think the Zigbee Alliance requires their members to only market compliant products as certified, so they could be marketing them to consumers as compliant and to companies like Charter as easy to integrate.

A requirement that products carry a clear statement about relying on a service to function, and then some rules about how the end of life for such products and services should be sequenced would not be onerous and would make the situation much better for consumers (even the ones that didn't read the statement would get the minimum period of service specified in the EOL rules).
Please take into consideration that there is a need for nested docker repos (one additional level is enough like GitLab has per project). The overall ECR/Azure/GitHub registry stuff is so crazily limited it’s borderline unusable: you have to pop up projects/registries just to have a different image name, and tags are limited to 128 chars, within [A-Za-z0-9-_] (so, no slash), so you need to spawn repos like crazy (which means different creds or setup or project settings) and/or suffer unreadable mangled tag names.

> Is the issue that we're conflating the two tasks into one?

I'd say it's the opposite. Business logic is software. More than that, bureaucracy is software too. Same goes for contracts, and laws too[0]. It's because "If <this> then <that> happens" is code. "Do <this bunch of stuff> until <this happens>, except when <something else happens>, do <that> instead" is code.

So when you're encoding the business logic in your software, what you're doing is copying some external code into your program, and translating it from natural/legalese to your programming language. With all the consequences this entails - you now have two independent pieces of code that do the same, are not visibly connected, and evolve separately. Whenever something changes in the way business works, someone needs to update that same code across applications that use it. Mistakes are bound to happen.

A big problem in the above is the state of the code you're translating from - the actual logic of the business. It's a continuously evolving system that's being developed by people who are specialists in business, not in logic. That's why business rules often seem sort of but not quite coherent, with exceptions and repetitions, and special cases. It's because people responsible patch them up as they discover problems, but the concept of refactoring or unit testing or integration testing of actual business rules is something between not known and not doable in practice.

So in the end, I'd think that yes, there's more than one type of jobs in here, but they're actually all software development. Not in the sense that they're all writing programs for computers - some of it is writing programs for humans (the bureaucracy) - but all of it could use some of the insights and tooling from software development. There is no separation between "software" and "logic" - there's only separation between what can be fully specified, and thus treated as code, and what cannot be specified, because it's too much tied to fuzzy, case-by-case value judgements.

(Going back to your bridge example: you hire civil engineers to design the bridge, but then again, you don't just go out and say "hey, I have money, go build me a bridge!". A bridge has to serve a purpose and integrate into other systems, which is why those bridge designers get input from traffic engineers, urban planners, and other engineers/engineer-likes.)

[0] - Now, to be very clear, I'm not on-board with the current ideas of "code as law", and I don't want them becoming reality any time soon. Fully specifying laws would require us to have total understanding of human values, which we don't have - that's why the role of human judgement is important, and that's the good reason for which laws are underspecified. Same goes for contracts and some business rules too.

[1] - They sometimes also have an incentive to keep things opaque. Sometimes a reason for a business rule to be unnecessarily lax may be that the "wrong" state is actually a "good" state to someone who doesn't want to admit to it. Think e.g. costs savings by trading off security or reliability, or tax evasion.
Ask HN: What has your work taught you that other people don't realize?
Anti-monopoly laws are not enough (even if we ignore the problems of regulatory capture). If all the water was owned by three people instead of one person, or even by five people, or a thousand, there'd still be the other seven billion of us which would die of thirst if these thousand commanded.

But, yes, giving up some of what they own is one way of dealing with it... though one could argue that by the time they have control of all that water or wealth, it's too late, because by then they have so much power that they, not you, get to call the shots.

Another way is to change the system so that they don't gain so much control in the first place, and so that water (or wealth) is distributed more equitably among all seven billion of us instead of just a tiny few.
It’s reasonable if you’re doing some light editing.

> Working it backward, you'd see the bad effects before being considered an "addict", the extreme case.

You can see the bad effects on people on their way to extreme addiction. There is a difference between that and the vast majority of ordinary users of the internet. It's like the difference between someone who plays the lotto once in a while or drinks on special occasions vs people on their way to gambling or alcohol addiction.

> I'm just saying the title isn't completely click-baity.

The title is clickbait. Sciencedaily is well known for doing that as they take science press releases and fluff it up in order to get traffic. I guess in this tough media environment, you can't blame them since everyone clickbaits.

The internet doesn't reduce study skills. Problematic internet use does. So the title is absolutely clickbait since most people who use the internet aren't affected.
It's ironical you think about Heller's work as "political", as one of the arguments he makes is that the climate science field became completely crippled once politicians started to put their nose in it.

It's also a huge problem that once a scientific theory (man-made climate change due to CO2) becomes "mainstream" and labelled as "official", you can't oppose it without immediately having all kinds of people with various interests supporting you for sometimes bad reasons. It's unfortunately inevitable.
How and when would that push/pull work?

Here is the typical use case. Dev A wants to upgrade a dependency, say the boost library for a C++ project. This requires some adaption. So they create a changeset/pull request. Inside that pull request they adapt the Dockerfile to use the latest boost library version.

The same day, developer B finishes a story and uses some legacy boost features. They also submit a pull request. That change does not build with the newer library but works fine with the older one.

The CI system now should be able to run the tests with both changesets independently, using the Dockerfile from each branch.

When B's work is merged first, A needs to rebase and vice-versa.

Right now we implement this by running CI outside docker and creating and entering a container with a script provided by the project, but that is a home-grown solution. I would love to see gitlab allow each branch to create its container automatically, when needed.

ARexx was basically AppleScript before AppleScript existed. It was widely supported by most Amiga productivity software since it was a selling point in the same way AppleScript support is/was for Mac apps in terms of being the de-facto scripting solution on the platform for automating tasks. So if REXX was the dream, ARexx was the realization of that dream on a personal computer.
>So compared to revenue, Tesla spends much more on R&D

No, they don't spend "much more".

Old, dying GM and high-flying, take-over-the-world Tesla spend nearly identical amounts as a percentage of revenue. How can that be possible? One is building factories and semi-trucks and solar roofs and AI chips and robo-taxis and "ramping up investment" and the other is going out of business (so I hear).

>None of them have a charging network or battery efficiency or battery production capacity close to what Tesla has.

Tesla arguably makes the best EV on the market right now, that's true. But this idea that no one wants anything else, once again, flies in the face of the data. Competitors are selling well all over the world. And that's what we want, isn't it?

>None of them have a charging network

The charging network was a genius way to get people to buy EVs at time when range anxiety was an issue. It was one of Elon's best moves.

But the days of it being a real competitive advantage are almost gone. Car companies don't own gas stations. It's cost center. Did you see the lines over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays? Who wants that?

> because spreadsheets are their own programming paradigm

They're reactive programming. Yes, the current hot buzzword. The stuff you do (or at least you're supposed to) when building React apps, or working with FRP libraries in your programming language. The stuff that boils down to defining a dependency DAG, and having the framework keep recomputing it as you change individual nodes.

Excel is that. There's actually a set of buttons in the ribbon somewhere, called "Trace Precedents" and "Trace Dependents" - when you click them, Excel will start drawing arrows between cells, showing you the underlying DAG.

(I literally used this yesterday to help someone I'm tutoring to understand how to rewrite the spreadsheet we've made in C++, and why these are two forms of the same program.)
