In summary, lowering rents to market price lowers the value of the building and makes the project insolvent.
It's funny that you're making a really strong assumption about something that you've never even tried. You can get $2xx.xx Microsoft backed WMR VR headsets new. Facebook's all inclusive Oculus Quest is $400 new.

ymmv but I've been able to buy used VR systems like the Vive Pro for $375 on ebay. Just to use them for either driving or flying simulators, VR is already worth it.

That said, there's still plenty to complain about for VR but that doesn't mean it doesn't have mass market potential.
At least in theory (going off marketing materials¹ for one such device, though I personally lack first-hand experience here, and said device doesn't advertise itself as Mac-compatible), the eGPU should function as the power source for the laptop, so you'd only need one power adapter (for the eGPU).

Really, this experience actually sounds pretty pleasant.

We are literally not talking about a wildfire in a neighbouring country. It's a human to human transmissible pandemic in "2020". And then factor in geopolitics: Indo-China border movement, compared with Chinese people travelling to countries in the west (or other countries around China). Actually you could have said this for India-Nepal, even India-Bhutan, and maybe India-Bangladesh as well; but not China and India.
Yeah, so you’re talking about subdivs, not just any polygons. Yes you create subdiv geometry using polygon modeling tools, but modeling pure polygon models, e.g., for games, is a different activity. Subdivs are easier than NURBS, it’s true, but they do come with their own whole set of connectivity, workflow, texturing, pipeline, etc. Just saying “polygons” is misleading.

Whether or not a given site should be client-side rendered is a valid discussion

Ad bloat is a valid discussion

Lazy development practices in modern sites/apps are a valid discussion

But in my experience, these as well as other less-legitimate issues all tend to get lumped under the banner of "JavaScript stuff == slow", without any nuance.

Another typical online scammer scamming people. Nothing new to see.
Python's syntax precludes works against a lot of things, like first-class lambdas, case (yes it can be emulated with if/elif, but it's not the same, even without fallthrough), pattern-matching in general, or assigning the result of a method-chaining pipeline to a variable.

I use python at $dayjob, and I run into the limitations of whitespace as syntax all the time.
This website is one big dark pattern and it severely detracts from the article.

Yes, but the McDonald's Corporation has a vested interest in making sure that the rent is affordable for running a McDonald's franchise on. MDC isn't going to spike the rent to force a franchisee out of business in the hopes that somebody else comes along willing to pay the rent spike.
I just upgraded to Catalina and now almost none of my steam games work. Turns out they were compiled for 32 bit support, and 32bit support was removed in Catalina, basically destroying my gaming rig.
There's nothing magic about ballot sheets. Anyone could run off as many as they want on a copier. What protects elections in vote by mail systems is the fact that you can check your ballot status and everyone can only vote once. If you steal my ballot, I get a replacement and we both vote, that will be flagged. Plus you need to know how to forge my signature, which they do check.
Environmentalism is an important part of neo-Nazism (and other strains of fascism) too. Do you think that automatically tars anybody who thinks we should pollute less? I appreciate the point you're trying to make, but you're letting labels do the thinking for you (or as I've heard it put recently, "engaging in idiocy").

I don't personally believe that racial IQ differences are significant or salient to differences in population outcomes, nor am I convinced that claims are well-founded that IQ determines individual outcomes to a significant degree. But I don't advise treating it like a magic word that shuts off the thought centers of your brain. If you think it's a useless concept, you should be able to articulate why by pointing to the science (or lack thereof), not by letting Nazis tell you what you're allowed to think critically about.
I worked bar and restaurant for 25 years. I would never, ever open or own a restaurant voluntarily. The margins are minuscule and require huge up-front costs with micro-managed inventory, labor and quality control to break even.

Bars however are a dream. Inventory control is simply tracking portions and comps. Outside of garnishes nothing rots or goes bad. And assuming tips are good, labor is no worry either. We had a saying: "In good times the bar business is good. In bad times it's even better because everyone needs to cry into their beer..."
The switch from 68k to PowerPC was because 68k was dead, Motorola was pushing the 88k which was already failing in the market, and while Apple also considered other architectures like SPARC, they didn't want to be tied to only a single company's fortunes again like they were with the 68k.

So when IBM came to them asking "hey how about we scale down POWER to a desktop chip for you?" Apple also brought in Motorola so that they could dual-source their chips and not be dependent on one company, and PowerPC was born. Rather than being an up-and-coming competitor, PowerPC probably wouldn't exist without Apple's involvement (they would probably still have pursued a scaled-down POWER, but it wouldn't be PowerPC)
That’s what’s happening. The article mentions that exact scenario.

Elon downgrades the stock and market agrees with him. That's my analysis.
The BBB will be useless in this case. If your state has a department of labor, you can file a complaint with them; often, just going reporting your employer's practices doesn't require a lawyer. You can also try to go to small claims court yourself to recover back pay, if the amount doesn't exceed the small claims limit; small claims is usually pretty DIY friendly (as far as legal processes go).

Yeah I'm really talking about a sole proprietorship/self-employed sort of restaurant. The owner is also the cook. (that level of scale)

Can you explain why it doesn't work?
There's no cat6e, that's all mislabeling.

> 802.11ax potentially offering 5Gbps+ and 802.11ay that runs faster then 10Gbps

Well, ax is at best about 1Gbps per antenna, and even with MIMO I'm pretty doubtful you'd ever beat 2.5 in practice.

ay is faster but it works inside a single room. It's for peripherals, not home networking.
So also on HN you can find plenty of conspiracy theories it seems. On what is based your claim? This is a pretty good evidence against all the recent conspiracy theories with analysis of the virus genoma studied in the labs. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/22221751.2020.1...
Just a perspective, your half cut rate is higher than what other SWE interns get.
Metal's first release was 2014, one year after Mantle in 2013. Vulkan's first release wasn't until 2016, and Mantle was proprietary.

I am tired of seeing sleazy scammy dudes making money or pretending to make money with weird Instagram and youtube channels.

And people are dumb buying into their scam. It takes 5 seconds for us to see it, why can't average person see their bs from a mile?
Could you share most common dirty tricks for ones who have little experience?
The goal is to maximize income, and the maximum you can get sustainably is 100% of your lesee's profits. If you take less then you're leaving money on the table. If you take more than that (e.g. 101%) they will inevitably go out of business.

If you guess wrong and drive a place out of business, your hope is that the next tenant is more profitable and can handle the overhead. Chain restaurants are typically pretty good about this because they know their revenue potential accurately ahead of time.
are you asking in the perspective of the company?

They probably want to retain some reptutation.
I was going to say the same thing about meaning flow.

But here's an idea. The OP wants meaning to flow left to right for lambda declarations. Why not have assignment go that way too.

"Hello" => x: string

Might work. Computer science pseudocode uses notation kind of like that.

Also, I understand now why Scala and Rust always seemed clunky to me.
That is not evidence if it has been debunked in several scientific papers. This is one of them with the analysis of the virus genoma: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/22221751.2020.1...
Unfortunately, I don't think it can be a niche forever, assuming it's a gaming platform. As we see from game developers in this thread, a platform with a too-small audience is uneconomical. That's true even when the platforms are as similar as Windows and Mac. It'll be way more true given that VR is a very different experience.

Apparently Quest sales figures aren't public, but I see estimates that they sold a million units last year. Nintendo sold that many Switches last month. And the month before that. And the month before that. (And in December it was something like 5 million/month.)

However much niche users enjoy it, I have a hard time seeing how they'll sustain enough of a developer ecosystem to keep them entertained. High end sound equipment can draft off of every music player in the world for content. But good VR is very much VR-specific.

And yet this is not (so) true in Europe, where (1) people eat out less but (2) people pay more for restaurant food.

What's the difference? Is it really just too many food vendors thinking that the $1 happy meal is their competition? Or what?

EDIT: a better formulation, from a reply I wrote below: I'll restate it somewhat differently: eating out in Europe more accurately reflects the full cost of everyone involved making close to a living wage.
> no way would I spend more than a 2 or 3 hundred dollars on something that will get stolen within 3 years.

Are you happy spending 2 or 3 hundred dollars on burning gas within 3 months?
This is nice, but don't you value your time? Lurking craigslist, visiting to see a lot of cars, etc has a cost.

Paying 2-3% more and saving a lot of hassle seems much more reasonable.
That has been very true historically (Intel/Cocoa shifts), but Apple and Adobe have been publicly shaking hands and smiling a lot about these new full Photoshop for iPad builds lately, so things look a bit better now.
how can you do low latency DL? don't you incur a large latency in copy from host to device?

This posts says in passing without further explanation that the NIH is "under-funded". I looked up their budget, they get roughly 40 Billion dollars a year. I'm not sure what rational one uses to call that underfunded but that doesn't seem like they are some small agency starved for money.
Incorrect. There is no such thing as safe dose with Radon. You're thinking of gamma rays and 50mSv/year safe limit. You won't find safe limit for Radon. There are guidelines when you should be very concerned, but there is no safe limit.

It decays into radioactive lead, and once we breath it in, it's hard to get rid of, and stays in our bodies.
Thanks for engaging - I appreciate the chance to have a discussion.

I don't intend to chastise Taibbi at all. I am a fan of much of what he writes - I share his disdain for the journalistic class as a whole, and I like that he gets so mad about stuff.

However, I do chastise his tone and direction with this essay. This essay in itself doesn't convince me that "freedom of speech" is at peril, nor do I think it is, now more so than previously in the United States. And Taibbi's style and targets isn't convincing me otherwise at all. What are the markers of a trend away from free speech? How is there more government suppression of private opinion now than 10, 20, 30, whatever years ago? I have really heard no convincing argument, though I have read and heard dozens of alarmist critiques that focus on this campus protest and that YouTube video personality, without making a strong argument that these are systematic, government-led, erasures of minority opinions.
Seems useful to compare the dealership experience to how it works in other countries. In the US, the dealership experience seems to be pretty bad for many people, at least it was for me and everyone I know through several car purchases. It hasn't been the same experience for the several cars I have purchased after moving overseas. Not sure I could pin down the reasons why. It might be the same reasons that the service you get from banks here is so much better.
> this is a natural disaster

True, but it’s been frustratingly exacerbated and perpetuated by corrupt private interests and fundamentally unqualified leadership. I agree that our focus should be on mitigation and response, but the genesis of this debacle is fair game, particularly in an election year.

The Official US death toll just surpassed the Vietnam War count, and that figure is widely speculated to be underreported. Not to mention that health experts are warning of a second wave in the winter, when Americans travel the most.

People have every right to know exactly how the US got its butt kicked by the worst public health crisis in a century.
Why will they pass? What's the calculus? "I could make it myself for less" ? "It used to be less" ? "It shouldn't cost that much <handwave>" ?

Isn't it more likely to be true that they will pass because they've become accustomed to crazy low prizes for prepared foods?
It's probably gonna be remote. So housing is not gonna be a problem.

And OP having that internship experience is definitely gonna help them for the future. Considering it is unlikely to get another internship (not even similar pay), OP should do it. Additionally, their half cut rate is higher than what a lot of SWE interns get too (not even considering other profession interns)>
The team that developed Mantle got ignored by AMD management, who then left and subsequently got hired by Apple to develop Metal. Vulkan's release was held up for over a year by AMD management and red tape, which was by then already a year later than Metal's release.
The letter to the inmate on the front page says "I really enjoy the work we are doing, I could see myself staying here for a long time."

Is it just me or is the specific wording of this not in the greatest taste?

The letter also has some grammar errors.

Not to detract from the good this company is doing.
If it is impossible for India to preemptively develop an antiviral then it is crazy to think the US could. India and China are 2/3 of the world's top 3 economies (after purchasing power adjustments). Arguably China is now the US's superior. And as mentioned something like a quarter of the world's population They don't need the States to step in to fund vaccine development.

It isn't reasonable to blame the US government/big pharma for not preemptively curing all possible diseases. It isn't a sensible standard. If they can then they should, but they probably can't. If they can they should be starting in Africa rather than Asia.
Why would I use this when Gunicorn exists?
> but the modellers most definitely do model them as polygons in the DCC apps.

Yes, right, I know. I phrased that poorly, so I guess I should give BubRoss a break. The point I’m trying to make is that starting with the idea of polygon modeling, and starting with the idea of subdiv modeling, are two different things. If we’re talking about subdiv modeling, they it should be called subdiv modeling. Modeling “polygons” doesn’t just automatically produce decent looking smooth models and good connectivity and UVs, you have to use subdiv tools while you work.

That you can render subdivs without subdividing is related to what I was trying to say, that these surfaces are higher order, have an analytic definition, etc... they’re not just polygons. I guess it’s a good thing that subdivs are so easy to work with that they’re equated with polygons.
There's no way it's more expensive in a free (with externalities priced-in) market. Meat eats plants in a very lossy fashion. The main problem for your average Joe is that it's quite hard to get started cooking tasty meals this way. I've tried many times and I can kinda manage with these frozen "patties" and such but it's just hard to flip thousands of years of cooking tradition.
You can tell when you have some Ethiopian or Indian veggie food that it's been honed to perfection over centuries. Where I'm from all the dishes include meat or animal fat/broth which is honestly even harder to replace than the protein.

When you go from chicken broth or bacon fat to a vegetable broth or coconut butter, it's just a jump too far to make the dish still make any sense and that's the kind of moments where most people give up.
I agree that it's a matter of changing the incentives. It seems possible though. Governments are pulling trillions of dollars out of thin air for relief measures. They have the ability to print money and have been expanding the money supply since there has been money. It's a matter of allocating said money to the right things. Maybe instead of keeping zombie companies alive through zero-interest debt, we should be letting badly managed companies die, and fund critical research instead, as well as infrastructure projects. That would create jobs and help us build a better future.
There is next time, you know. Something has to change, and that means admitting that you might have to change.
The article is just an informative piece for the general public. Adding more details would clutter the text and add little to non experts. I think that it is a reasonable approach to highlight a risk situation were the clarity of the message is important.

You can tell from the way the Chinese authorities reacted in the beginning that they did not know what they were dealing with. Had it been a lab accident their reaction would have been quite different.

Also as I understand it. Bats acts as a repository for corona virus but the virus has to mutate in order to infect a human, so it infects another animal, where the mutated strain grow, before it reaches a human.
You have not even slightly tried to read or understand what I posted.

This is (weak) evidence that the virus was not engineered. It says absolutely nothing about the possibility -- which I outlined clearly, and which is outlined clearly in the linked doc -- that this is a natural virus accidentally released from a lab.
That's interesting, and suggested by the movie. However I wonder how that works in Europe for inner city locations. Here in Germany both in large and small cities, I can't recall any that I can imagine being owned by McDonald's.
Oh, the contrived "bat narrative" again ...

Wuhan is a world center for corona virus research.

It has two labs, with at least one funded by the US government.

The likelihood this pandemic wasn't a release from one of those labs is less than 50%.
It's:
if (x in odds} and (odds == expect_odd).

The 2nd expression is obviously false always.
I've found that restaurants are getting better at fixing this. We've seen a shortage of flour and eggs at our local market, but we got takeout from a local restaurant the other night and they offered us eggs, flour and milk at a completely reasonable price for a win for all.

Obviously not everyone can do this, but it seems like people are adapting at least!
I love how the site has an embedded repl.

Anyone know if there’s a preferred way to implement this?
Dairy-eating vegetarian here, but I disagree.

1) The vast majority of consumed meat comes from animals that have so closely co-evolved with humans that any pathogens that can plausibly jump from one to the other already has (with sometimes devastating effect). If we simply limited meat consumption to cows, pigs, and chicken, it'd satisfy most people and strictly limit the risk of novel zoonetic pathogens.

2) Those diseases you list in particular are mostly unconvincing: SARS and COVID likely come from bats via civets, MERS from bats via camels, Ebola from bats via primates. None of these species make up most meat consumption.

3) E. coli is the best example, but plenty of people do get it from lettuce and spinach. That said, E. coli is never going to shut down the world in a mass pandemic.
Because chaining the operator results in:

> if x in odds == expect_odd :

> if x in odds and odds == expect_odd :

with the latter always evaluating to False (assuming expect_odd is a boolean flag).
Pandemics are a global problem, and can start anywhere. Everybody should be working on this. It's not like the US doesn't have bats or birds or pigs, all sources of previous pandemics. The US has long been a medical research leader, and now especially doesn't seem like a great time to say, "Ah, whatever, let somebody else deal with it."
