People live where the jobs are. I know someone who bought a house in North Dakota for the value of the propane in the tank outside. There are no jobs in the area so the former owner was just glad to be rid of it. The guy I knew was glad to have a place to sleep near his secret hunting place, he had no intent of spending more than a few days a year there.
Because some of us have hope that Apple might be using high-performance commodity hardware with OS X and maybe they’ll let us do that one day too, so we don’t have spend $6000 for a Mac tower.

Alas, it is but a dream.
I'm sorry - why is Yang entitled to a place in the conversation? I wish his campaign got more attention too. But the lack of coverage he's getting seems related to the fact that he is not well known, he is not as popular as the other candidates, and his ideas are not yet part of the mainstream discourse. You're not entitled to equal time in media coverage because you declared your candidacy.

Ideally, journalists would cover the topics they think are important to their audiences. We know this doesn't play out in practice. But even in an ideal world, I don't see Yang getting more coverage.
Wait, what? My regular family house in the Bay Area has almost tripled in 20 years. I'm not banking on that for retirement, but homes can definitely appreciate in value.

You’re right, but this is a religious conviction for nerds, like their belief in space colonies. They flip out if you don’t play along.
Maybe in some degenerate form of consensus, like consensus on raw observations. If one person sees a rise in temperature during a reaction, someone else can say "nuh-uh, la la la".

Other forms of scientific disagreement happen, but those disagreements imply different predictions, and can be resolved with more experiments.

Science is a process that bootstraps broad agreements (scientific laws) from very tiny agreements (observations). The fact that a broad agreement (consensus) exists carries no weight if one lone wacky scientist can show reproducible observations that contradict it.

Amazon has been more expensive lately and most other stores have free-shipping now too. I've definitely found myself being much more open to shopping around and purchasing elsewhere than I was 4-5 years ago.
I only moved once, after my parents got divorced. I changed schools in 4th grade and didn't end up having any "best" (they weren't actually good to me) friends again until 8th grade. I remember almost nothing about middle school, especially 7th grade. This week in therapy I was asked if my parents ever played with me or took an interest in anything I was doing...I realized they didn't. I'm so used to be being alone that I never considered this and I think it sucks more than the lack of friends. My parents were so emotionally unavailable they didn't notice any problems, not even when I became severely depressed in high school. It took more than 8 years for me to finally have a breakdown, 8 years for my mom to finally realize I needed help.

I've been diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder. It's uncomfortable knowing I fit in so well I'm basically invisible and when I'm not, it's more often that I'm being judged for having flat affect which I think is only exacerbated by being female. I don't know what emotions I'm not showing, I don't know any other way.
I had that opinion too, until someone decided to get out of their car and escalate a situation that really shouldn't have been such a big deal. But they were macho in a car oozing with hormones so yeah, it happened. Even so, I'm personally more motivated by financial damage, the headache of dealing with insurance, and the consequences of being found to have broken the law, than I am by the threat of road rage.

Do exactly what Matlab does with that live code thing. Actually do exactly what Matlab does for everything. I love that you can right click on any code and get help with examples and everything was written in human understandable language and not some programmer who was forced to write a help doc. Showing what variables are what is good too.

I'm not a programmer and I thoroughly enjoyed using Matlab as a sort of scripting language to do things on my computer. Yeah it's Overkill but it was just so easy. Also the built in functions for image compare are great
If the current version of OS X was backwards compatible with 10.0 - 10.4. It would still need both a PPC emulator and a 68K emulator since iOS 9 still had 68K code.
It'll be approved although sometimes you get neighbors who would get upset that your house shades their lawn. Typically you want to design your house to be compatible with the neighbors and the neighborhood. Los Angeles is an exception generally which is amazing b/c you get these great wonders of architecture that appear out of nowhere. These tend to be on bigger lots though.

Self driving cars are going to work only in an environment where all cars are safe driving cars. In China they start running trackless light trains which makes much more sense. I believe dedicated routes for self driving cars will be a cheaper and more efficient alternative to trains and it will be the way forward long before we have a full self driving environment.

Don't pay much attention to what Sokoloff said. In theory, he's kinda right, but that's not how it works in the real world. And I don't know if you and him/her live in the same area/country.

I've had a rough time looking for jobs, due to 2 main reasons: not getting it right when adapting the resume to a job posting. Many ATS just discard resumes that doesn't have the exact words that they use on the job posting. Even if you are saying the same thing with different words...

The other was the phone interviews, made by a HR person looking for who knows what. For most applies that I did, I didn't get a phone interview. After phone interviews, didn't hear back.

I only got 2 technical interviews for like, 100 applications. One was for the job I'm currently in, the other I declined because I got the job offer to my current job. Both I got through recommendations, even if the people recommending me didn't know me. But they looked at my resume and put it stray to the HR manager for them to talk to me.

I also had a friend (not in IT) that was not getting anything. I told he to look for recommendations. She went to LinkedIn, found someone that worked or used to work at a company she wanted to go, and talked to the person, got recommended, and got the job.

Do any of these sites have an extension that can rank individual reviews for trust-worthiness based on the content + other reviews by that user?

It's always a bit of a schlep to have to remember to use another website to check review credibility.
Lots of people answering the technical question, but I have to wonder: why do you think ISPs would break into Apple's equipment just to extract private keys securing media files and software downloads? Do you think ISPs are typically in the business of violating the contracts and security of their partners? What would they gain by doing so?

Note that I understand the importance of securing private keys in general. I'm just asking about ISPs because you specifically mentioned them.

So, what exactly did you say they refuted anything I said?

The Carbon API was 32 bit only and was supported until the latest release of MacOS.

Do you realize how many deprecated end of life frameworks that Microsoft has been lugging around for decades?

So should Apple have kept support for 68K software in 2019?

Also, do you realize that for all intents and purposes the entire .Net Framework is deprecated and EOL except for minor compatibility updates?

There are plenty of “pissed” .Net Framework developers who feel abandoned by MS.

I feel like I fit that grouping too. I didn't fit in most places as a kid (I never really figured out why, which still scares me), but I had a pretty good group of friends in elementary school who bonded over that fact. Unfortunately our middle school split each grade into two "teams", and I ended up on the wrong one. That meant I had none of the same classes, my locker was in a different hallway, and I had a different lunch period. Essentially, it was like I had moved. Thanks to that, middle school is the most forgettable time of my life. I sort of made a few more connections throughout those years, but nothing that lasted at all, and any time i've talked with those people since has been pretty awkward because we never really knew each other.

Luckily that changed with high school, where more freedom was offered and so I found new friendships easier to make. I was eventually able to make at few friends, one of whom has been lifelong, by random happenstance of lunch tables. Interestingly, my wife had roughly the same experience of losing all her friends at the start of middle school and not really rebuilding until high school.
The final straw was a NEW mechanical keyboard. I received a keyboard covered in perfume, that was clearly (and badly) repackaged.
This and the post yesterday about adding latency to websites reaffirms an idea I've been thinking about lately - adding friction back into digital processes helps break some of the addictive power they have.

Imagine if you had to use a printer to print out your facebook feed when you wanted to see it. Then, in order to interact, you had to write on that paper the comments, likes, etc. that you wanted to transmit and scan it back into the system. That mode of interaction seems "primitive" compared to the way we use things on our phones, but I think carries with it a lot of nice advantages like introducing time buffers for your mind to catch up to your impulses.

This is my paper (along with Tao and Fan). It's a great feeling to have this published and available, and I'm super proud of the team behind Physalia.

The influencers did say it was sponsored by Bloomberg. Most IG people will use the #ad to indicate it's an ad. Some don't.
Andrew Yang was getting pushed out and ignored the whole time. There are many egregious examples of how he was being excluded: https://vocal.media/theSwamp/a-visual-history-of-the-yang-me...

We couldn't trust the media already, Bloomberg will just be another example making this clearer.
It doesn't work quite like that. Builders buying livable property and demolishing it make economical sense only in a very very few percentage of homes. My guess is < 2% of entire area we talk about. For the other 98%, it is far far cheaper for the builder to get it rezoned from the goverment.

Remember, we don't have a lack of land. There is plenty of prime, commute friendly, land available in SF-Bayarea and most other CA cities.

Old SFH will get demo-ed and gets rebuilt as SFH - just because bulldozing a $200k+ building + spending $600k to rebuild - can only be justified by a crazy SFH owner who can justify it all in terms of getting his/her dream home.
I think it's silly to try to separate the home from the land it sits on, unless you're suggesting that people buy homes with nothing beneath them.
What if the most expensive part of an ISP is the last mile? (Granted, this isn't true in cases like Australia.)
If you could create instructions efficient enough for a computer to drive a car, it always seemed like you just created the best instructions for a human to drive a car too, and a human who had similar instructions would always be a better driver of the two. "Pay attention to this, prioritize these things, brake when this occurs, turn when this occurs, safest speed is this given these parameters." and so on. You would think silicon valley would be obsessed with learning how to drive really well given the amount of time so many engineers have spent on automating it. We should have our own F1/WRC team by now sponsored by these companies.
Demonizing landlords is not the answer. They did not get us into this mess. It's a distraction. Prices are set by the market.
Exactly. It's a form of bullying. Taking a swipe at cars that are under AI control is a form of intimidation just like "rolling coal", popping the finger, throwing coins at other cars, ICE pickups parking in EV charging spots, etc. So while it makes sense to me that an AI car should do something to indicate it is so to other drivers (e.g. quick double-pulse of the hazards every 10 seconds perhaps) that comes with a very real possibility of greatly increasing "road rage" incidents and even potentially undermining what driving assistance is meant to be for.

That is not what the Peter principle (the principle, not the book) is about, that would be the Dilbert Principle.

Sounds like your ex didn't do proper research to understand what they were getting into. If they needed a place with parking and/or easy public transit access they shouldn't have bought that condo.
Yeah I cancelled my prime. Nowadays a lot of retailers will ship for free, sometimes 1 or 2 day shipping without an annual membership fee. You just have to spend a certain amount, but more and more items on amazon are 'add on' items anyway.

I don’t believe this is true. These aren’t expansions, but rather actual objects you can reference that point to cwd and cwd's parent.

You can tell because `echo .` doesn’t expand while `echo ~` does

It's too expensive to built the infrastructure to accommodate them--current infrastructure spending isn't even enough to eliminate potholes and other bad pavement conditions.
Interesting. Is it possible to use something like Visual Studio Code (my main editor due to a lot of TypeScript focused work) with the Linux filesystem? I think I tried this and couldn't get it to work but I can't remember and maybe I did it wrong and am just incompetent.
Age is very relevant for schools which are typically paid for with local property taxes. If you somehow find yourself moved to a so-called NORC, naturally occurring retirement community, you'll find that older people people with adult children on limited incomes are more reluctant to fund schools than say young working parents.

I am on the standard Riot client, I didn't realize that RiotX existed. Will definitely give that a try, thanks for the heads up!

Note that the polish concerns I have aren't just for Android though -- some of my contacts are only on desktop, and Riot's desktop app also has issues with contrast, resource usage, notifications/updates, searching in encrypted rooms, key synchronization. Even on the backend, setting up closed communities is just really confusing and buggy. I had to abandon a community and recreate it half way through because it bugged out trying to remove an empty E2E room and then couldn't add/remove/edit any rooms after that point -- and this was on the main, public Matrix homeserver.

It's getting better. A year ago, I don't think I could have used Matrix/Riot to the extent I'm using it now. I don't want to be too critical, because it's improving at a genuinely impressive rate. I'm still betting on Matrix being the future-proof choice for me to make for the majority of my chat/community infrastructure.

It just feels like it's still early in development, clients like RiotX are still in beta -- which makes it tricky when I'm trying to roll it out in "production" to very young and very nontechnical users.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned https://web.whatsapp.com/ yet. You need to log in by scanning a QR code with your phone, but once you do, you can use your full-size keyboard to chat!

I know it doesn't check all the boxes for you, but hopefully it can improve your quality of life while talking to your family :)
It's an app you install on your phone. That app can use any service on the device if system permissions allow it, also, tracking and libraries or spyware can be embedded in the app itself which could potentially circumvent device security.
Much obliged :)
I suspect that part of it is that a lot of people in the tech and tech journalism space live in and around cities. Many of them are mostly focused on being driven around and not owning a car.

Long highway drives may be something they don't do that often. So the ability to own a car that can automate that subset of their driving probably doesn't strike them as all that interesting.

Personally, as I've said elsewhere, this seems like a much more tractable problem and gives me a lot of the total benefit of self-driving.
The solution should surely involve more granular permissions?

I'm assuming this permission has no need to read the body of network responses, inject anything into the responses, read cookies etc.

However, it probably has no option than to request the "read and change all network data" permission because there is nothing weaker that will let it do what it needs to do.

Making sources available isn't a scalable option to help with this in my opinion. Who is going to be doing thorough security audits of every extension + every update?
For me, the biggest problem lies in the fact that your messages are local. And phones will always have less capacity than dedicated storage servers.

What bothers me the most is when I have to resend a photo or file to a friend of mine on WhatsApp because he changed his phone and didn't want to install the WhatsApp backup from cloud. Or you simply had to delete things to free up space on your phone. Or I've lost something because I didn't want to have my phone's storage full of cat memes or something.

The way WhatsApp makes "backups" is totally dysfunctional. Instead of using a database with support for indexes and full-text search, it simply creates a kind of zip file with a proprietary protocol that forces you to download the entire backup again to search for a single file or message.

I hate having to use WhatsApp and I try to bring people to Telegram as much as I can.

It is as if we have gone back in time and gone back to MSN Messenger, only worse.
Thank you for pointing out that our clearly joke app with clearly fake testimonials are fake.

I like Kara Walker's art. Quite a bit actually.
So I do not think that this is an unsupervised problem. As a matter of fact, this should be one problem where labeled data is not an issue.

I.e. just let humans ride the self-driving car, and record the human actions as well as all the sensors (at time t-1).

Combined that with all the humans on road X, and you have the a model for road X.

The problem here is that each road needs its own model as well as model per time of day.

Another problem is that each company will not share its supervised data.
