I've heard about people paying for booze on planes. But for some reason in all the dozens of times I've flown. Never paid to get drunk on a plane? Think the last flight I took was 3 years ago, so don't know what has changed. I do only fly on the west coast though.
I love Bowie too.

But the credit card, the ISP, the whatever... I don't care about any of that. That's typical for people that are brands to make a quick buck, like Branson putting his "Virgin" name on a cellphone company, Trump putting his name on steaks, or Kim Kardashian putting her name on a perfume.

It's all basically the George Foreman Grill -- a company leases the name from the famous person to promote something they have little to do with.
You can find a reason to blacklist every company and then you can't buy anything.
1 in 5 chance of death for working one or two months earlier? I have a really hard time believing that, it would imply that for five or ten month's minimum wage, a rich person could find willing quarries for human game hunting or something like that. Sounds like a sci-fi plot in the making (and potentially an underestimation of the poor's value on their own lives.)
As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I hate that idea.
If it improved people’s lives and had no obvious drawbacks, do we really need anything else to call it a success? Why is something only a success if it makes the stock market go up, or some capitalist richer? I cannot strongly stress enough how profoundly I do not care about either of those things. Making people’s lives better is an end unto itself.
Serving a certain class of customers is definitely not a viable business model unless these customers are charged 100% markup.

I think these customers should just go pick up the food themselves, the rest of us can use the app. Department stores also ban problematic customers who return too many items, so this is not a new concept.
I'm fairly sure 90+% of the population couldn't tell you exactly what a watt, vs a gigawatt, vs a kilowatt, vs a kilowatt hour is. For most people, these units are just opaque names with vague concepts associated with them(ie kilowatt hours measures how much power you used in your home). And journalists are just members of the population, so it shouldn't be surprising that mistakes occur.

A normal person's interaction with the electrical world is extremely limited, so there is little utility in having any kind of understanding of it. I'd be much more worried if journalists were confusing, say, distance measurements with weight measurements, or something like that.
You need a reasonable financial buffer (or at least good credit) to be a homeowner to cover the large expenses that invariably come up. If you're not handy and need to call professionals for every minor repair--well, though service calls will add up quick.

Sometimes people need to change their housing circumstances in a hurry (e.g. bad break up or bad neighbor) and negotiating two real-estate transactions would be time consuming.

In short, there are lots of good reasons people don't want the burden of being a home-owner, but still need a place to live. Someone has to own and be responsible for those places.
> Could you please stop breaking guidelines by commenting on downvotes?

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."

Downvoting without argument is the equivalent of calling names, so the answer is no.

> if you want to force a discussion on someone, call a hotline;

Who wants to "force a discussion"? Why do people who don't want to discuss something get to punish those who do? And how is what I quoted not blatant violation of the guidelines?

> The comment wouldn’t have been heavily downvoted if it weren’t written in this “I’m woke and you sheeple aren’t” tone.

The tone is in your reading. Also, you don't know why people downvote, you're simply claiming it. So after you say I shouldn't "break the guidelines by talking about downvotes", you then proceed to talk about downvotes, while claiming things you have no basis for, something I didn't do nor would do, because I don't need to.
Also in LA and I find 4G is not very reliable. Who is your carrier? I use verizon. Speeds are bad and my connection drops all the time. I'm by ktown so maybe it's the density at play compared to other areas.
To be fair, all of those are pretty old (the T520 is from 2011), so it's expected that they would work flawlessly---it's the very new X1 Extremes and a couple of other models that are problematic. For the most part, staying one generation back is enough to get very good hardware support.

Meh. Today's battery technology is better than this IMHO. A 80kWh battery and a network of 150kW fast chargers works very well. I wouldn't use anything gaz related for my electric cars, especially during winter. It's not as reliable, it's more expensive, it smells, and it's more dirty.
I agree that there's a strong bit of re-electionism, but an Apollo 8-10 style mission is quite feasible in that timeline.
I don't think your car example holds up. Sure, Honda has brands they call "Accord" and "Civic", but a 2019 Accord is different from a 2014 Accord. I don't think anyone would tolerate a rise in prices on a 2014 Accord manufactured year after year: if Honda never changed the car and continued calling it "2014 Honda Accord", I don't think they could raise its price.

I'm a little closer to accepting your premise with Disney. However, it's not "parking" you're paying for; it's "parking at Disney" and Disney continually makes changes to its product offering. Further, neither "parking at Disney" nor "tickets for Disney" are a regular, periodic purchase.
Using WKD is also a good way to solicit useless “security”-related emails from people running questionable automated scanners.
I read these kind of books front to back while trying to program the examples and graphs for myself. It's slow going in all but I've gotten great rewards from only a few books. (These would be 4 in 14 (!) years Strang linear algebra, Greene econometric analysis, Gelman Bayesian statistics and McKay information theory). For me, build once, never forget just works. The thing is, I never feel the need to refresh earlier work after this. Even if I look at my code from a decade ago it just clicks. Did some MOOCs on the side and while I passed those quite well, I didn't retain as much as from the struggle above.
If demand increases faster than supply increases, then prices go up. It does not mean supply&demand theory is invalid.
Perhaps they are slower because Clang is doing static analysis in this case.

Booklet, Brochure, Catalog Printing and Mailing
So this comment is being downvoted a lot, but i've got to say there was a lot of concern from local residents. The largest concern everyone raised with me was that "Google will ditch this as soon as it suits them, leaving us with a mess of 'smart tech' to deal with for decades to come".

Well, i hate to say it, maybe they were right? Turns out they ditched it before it even got moving, this might be a blessing in disguise.

The other course of action was what South Korea did: mass testing and contact tracing. South Korea didn't lock down the entire society.

As for getting a handle on the virus, it's entirely possible that only herd immunity will do that, and the countries delaying that happening with lockdowns are just delaying the inevitable while incurring unnecessary economic damage in the process.
Grandpa is 97 this year. He still refuses to support the red cross, because they charged for coffee and donuts in WW2 Guam.

He still talks about it like it was a personal attack. I grew up thinking the Red Cross was a for-profit war-profiteering leach of an organization.
Pretty glib considering the non-factual current 5g conspiracy theory
Originally they intended to repair the fiber lines and keep the network in Louisville, they decided to give the city money when they backed out so that the city could clean up the damage: Presumably by ripping up the fiber network entirely.

Most of their other ideas were similarly discount. They bought fiber in places it was already run, and their issue with ISPs revolved around a push to demand the right to move AT&T's equipment around on AT&T's poles to make room for their own without supervision.

ISPs have their problems but Google wasn't in it to build a long-term, quality infrastructure. They were trying to make a splash on the cheap, but the costs would be bound to go up anywhere they couldn't employ cheap hacks.
Vintage Handheld Computer: Psion II Organizer (Personal Digital Assistant- PDA)
I doubt it will last forever, but some things will last much longer than others, such as possibly TeX.
Strongly agree with this. Dates serve a critical goalpost in technical planning, yet they should be viewed as flexible (having a reasonable margin of error) and informed by tight & trust-driven feedback loops. I subscribe to Gantt charts as a planning tool, not a bible. Use it to empower development teams to plan and track execution, but don't use it for 0-margin accounting.

One anti-pattern in engineering management is shielding engineers entirely from timeline estimates. A CEO with limited runway, reporting to the Board, doesn't have such a luxury of infinitely elastic time.

Edit:

Note: dates should never be prioritized over value. If you're hitting dates and not delivering value then it won't do good for anyone. Product value should always be the function to optimize for, but rarely is it entirely independent of time.
Arguably you might want to buy from the company that had the most recent scandal because they're more likely to be on their best behavior.
But not using the same profile.
The space industry is about $400 billion. It’s not “vanity.” Did you think I was just talking about human spaceflight or planetary exploration? Those are only about 5% of the global space industry. Russia has been locked out of modern satellite development and their lead in launch capability continues to decay. This is bad for Russia in terms of export revenue and also overal national defense.

All problems are solved by humans; sometimes problem solving humans may use tools such as computers. Algorithms are just an automation that a human decided to use to solve a problem.

I'm in the security industry and bought a ThinkPad (X1 Carbon) 6 months ago. It has the form factor and specs that I want.

What is the threat model? They will not be using the rootkit for hiding useland malware. Are they extracting my documents and misuing them? Are they performing MITM on my connections and doing something harmful? While the capability is there, I don't see the software being used in a way that will inconvenience me.

It is a weak point in the system, maybe someone else exploits it, but I have so much software that I can say that about. When looking at threats the question for me is what is most likely to get me owned. It will probably be phishing or a malicious document. That's not going to change based on the manufacturer I buy from.

If I do get owned by some targeted malware that uses a Lenovo driver for priv esc, well they were probably going to get me with or without that. As good as it would feel to boycott a company with poor security practices, I'm over running unrefined System76 laptops.
The solution in this hypothetical is that the technical manager should have pushed back on efforts to squash estimates, and instead gotten the feature set reduced down to what would fit inside the desired launch window.
All that means is demand is increasing faster than supply.
You can't send more than x orders in same line unlike traditional network where you can saturate the bandwidth.
Until upper management changes. They are the ones who encourage this behavior (if not directly, then indirectly so they have plausible deniability - see Wells Fargo - but still intentionally). Only when they change is there a hope of this sort of behavior changing.

I'm not quite sure what the point of this quiz is. I don't know the answer to those questions, and yet I seem to have no trouble building very large react applications (with hooks) anyway.

I would also struggle with similar quiz based on the callbacks for class components. And those I actually had to deal with on a frustratingly regular basis! At least with hooks I can remain blissfully ignorant of what happens under the covers of useEffect().

Maybe the answers don't matter and this is a pointless exercise.
On a smaller scale, we should see where older folks on Social Security live. They have a form of UBI and also usually don’t or can’t work.
We had the same issues (must have been around 5 years ago). Hetzner though exchanged the servers directly. At the end it was a bios issue with some rams which were incompatible, which was quiet hard to find out.
I have done that twice for family members, along with asking for proof of the debt, and that they are authorized to collect it. Both times, never, ever heard from the collector again.
I used to be an Eddie Bauer guy. Shirts, shoes, shorts, jeans, coats, you name it. Spent a good chunk of change at their mall store where you could try stuff on. Overtime, the fabrics got thinner on shirts and jeans. They stopped stocking my size in store. Stuff started wearing out quicker. I tried to order online, but the order fulfillment was hit and miss. Too bad for them...
> Most people who live in my city are renters, but most voters in local elections are homeowners

Sounds like renters should start voting. Why would city council members do anything for the interests of people that don't vote? Not only is it against their own self-interest, it's anti-democratic. Elected representatives have to do what their voters want - it's the bedrock of democracy.

That reps are profiting off the system is a side-effect, not the root cause.
They moved to Git, from what I can tell as an outsider, as part of the "Balmer fucked Microsoft" clean up duty that produced a toxic and soon-to-be-fatal culture over there.

Github ended up being the final piece they needed after years of effort. Most of what I said in the earlier comment was what I pieced together from multiple (ex-)Microsoft people who chose to talk about it, over years.

TFS afiact started as just a repo manager (in the sense, does what Github does) for VSS and Perforce, with more modern support for other things, including Microsoft's gargantuan Git monorepo... but a lot of people at Microsoft still like Github Enterprise better.

I imagine given this, whatever TFS does better, Github Enterprise will learn to do over the next few years. Microsoft is big on eating their own dogfood now, but they don't seem to want to do Google sillyness where they have 20 products that do the same thing and let them fight it out in FFA arena combat (even Lync is still Lync underneath, it just keeps getting new frontends).

10-15 years is doable with a savings rate of 67%. At that rate, you're accumulating 2 years' worth of spending for every year that passes by. In 12.5 years, you'll have accumulated 25 years' worth of expenses.

If you invest well over that time, you can either retire earlier or do it with a somewhat lower savings rate.

It was just tarnished and unloved. Got notified this morning that I won't be able to access the public files of most of my 'security circle' on Keybase because they deleted their accounts.

>> Leaving a place empty/inhabited should be very expensive.

Vancouver is finding that difficult to enforce. How do you tell if a unit is "occupied" or not? At the moment it is largely voluntary. The city cannot tell whether someone is living in a unit or it living overseas ten months out of the year. They aren't going to be sending inspectors to knock on doors.

I'm a good example of the difficulties. I was away on training (military) for six months. My apparment sat empty. Should I have been paying the tax? How would the government detect that I wasn't there?... Short of me or my landlord admitting to it and then paying the tax.

Luckily, there are usually third party reviews with accurate battery life claims, at least for more popular laptops (like any ThinkPad). You're right that Apple does do a good job of accurately advertising battery life. On the other hand, since thermals aren't great on most MacBooks, some of Apple's performance statistics are only accurate for the first few minutes until the processor starts to thermal throttle.
The original intent seems OK. Why the hell does this mechanism need the capability to execute arbitrary .exe files and not just load the most basic type of driver required (INF/DLL/etc. whatever Windows calls it)?

>That money would be better spent on enabling city governments, elected policymakers, and especially their constituents to be smarter and able to make better choices and designs about city planning, building permits, incentives, taxation, traffic, etc better.

You're not wrong but this is kind of a naive way of looking at the problem. Making city employees more efficient means less jobs politicians can write the deadbeat nephew of a local construction mogul a recommendation for, a direct reduction in their power and influence. Even if you discount politicians government itself is often a bunch of competing fiefdoms where anyone who becomes more efficient can expect less resources thrown their way as a result. While there are many bureaucrats who do want to make things better and more efficient the incentives that the politicians and appointed department heads who ultimately call the shots have to work under cannot be discounted.
