DC Metro has 2 Ikea stores. One in College Park (inner suburb on the MD side, just outside the Beltway). And one in Woodbridge (outer suburbs, a fair hike south in I-95 in VA).

I've never visited the MD location. The VA location is in strip-mall hell.

I have mixed feelings about mixed-use development. In theory, it's great - put shopping, dining, work, and homes in one place. Reduce driving, make walking/cycling possible, etc.

My problem is the way the US approaches mixed-use continues to be at a "larger than human" scale. It's not organic - it ends up being super-blocks developed in one go by a faceless developer. The common spaces tend not to be used - they look good in architecture drawings, but don't work well in meat-space. And parking lots are still built, which creates a Potemkin Village effect (multi-story garage surrounded in fake building facades, etc).

O... k? But what does open source mean today? What has it meant for approximately the last twenty years? Did Epic claim their software is open source? Did Microsoft claim their source-available software was open source? I wonder why not, it would've been a good marketing term, what with all the developers who want open source.

The answer is that pretty much everyone agreed that open source means something roughly equivalent to the OSI definition, and even big companies agreed with that... until a year ago or so when somebody decided that they wanted all the benefits of claiming to contribute to open source without actually doing so, and a bunch of people who never actually cared about the FOSS ecosystem aided them in doing so.

Ah yes, fair. I'm not sure there can be a true solution to "we have to see your data before know if we can invest or not"

Our approach here is 1) we always give value before we ask for anything. Some strategy, resources, writing prompts, and anything else we can think of on a topic.. THEN we say "hey if you want to share your thinking on this here's how" 2) it's 100% optional. Founders can go through the entire process, get feedback from the community, hopefully improve their strategy, without ever sharing anything with us.

But good points to consider and thanks.
Hey thanks for the feedback. I am planning to start working on the Firefox version once I get some validation on the idea.
Great to see this point in the design space explored! Looking forward where it goes.

> Those examples you called up fit within that justifiable envelope

All terrorists feel justified, or they wouldn't do what they do.

> the label of terrorism in the eyes of Western political discourse necessarily connotes violence of an unjustifiable or unsanctioned by the majority nature

That's not true. There's a definition for terrorism, and it's the use of violence against non-combatants to create fear for the purposes of political change. Most people don't actually know the definition, so they're easily confused.

> Would the secession and war waged by the Southern States

How would secession qualify as terrorism? The battles were mainly among two military parties. Also, the term "Civil Warm" is a misnomer. The most neutral correct term is "War Between the States." Military conscription and execution of defectors, while terrible, also not terrorism, just despotic.
You're right, caps lock is the real enemy. How could I have been so wrong? Let's ignore everything because of that. Bars should open, as long as everyone whispers we're fine.

> It seems starting around maybe 2012~13, devs in the tech industry started moving from Windows laptops to Macbooks in large scale

I really doubt it has been that recent — I think the Great Migration to Macs started a decade earlier.

Meanwhile, a lot of us have been developing on Linux and deploying on Linux even longer still. Heck, that's a good part of how Linux got popular, although once upon a time it was develop on Linux in order to deploy on Solaris or HP-UX (or even AIX)!
I think their main advantage at this point is that they make batteries that are well over 200 watt hours per kilogram and they can make them cheap, whereas most other EV batteries are in the neighborhood of 150.
That's the (more or less starting) price of a high-end Herman Miller chair like an Aeron or Embody. Which is simultaneously a lot of money and a very reasonable purchase for something you spend a lot of time in if you can afford it.
The architecture is definitely far ahead of anyone else. When you look at Intel chips still being competitive despite manufacturing being a generation behind and with 1/6th the cache per core.

I'm an AMD shareholder and my biggest fear is Intel figuring out their manufacturing.
It's a good point. Definitely the need for a separate office.

>I agree in principle (e.g., Pizzagate and similar conspiracy theories), but delegating the arbitration of facts to a private company seems dangerous territory to me.

No one has delegated "the arbitration of facts" at any universal or societal scale to Facebook, nor is Facebook attempting to arbitrate all "facts" or "truth" on their own platform. The principle with which you agree appears to be the principle Facebook is actually using, and I see no "dangerous territory" in them moderating their own platform. There are plenty of other platforms where Pizzagate and other such conspiracies are taken as fact.

> The inconvenient answer as it appears to me is that folks have to discern what is nonsense and what isn't, which leaves us exactly where we are.

This is not an inconvenient answer so much as a thought terminating cliche.
Staff Engineer Archetypes: Team Leads, Architects, Solvers, and Right Hands
I've recently written a Python app that selects a random location in an area defined by a user-supplied shapefile [1], grabs corresponding aerial imagery from Google Maps, and posts it as a geotagged tweet:

https://github.com/doersino/aerialbot

I've built this tool because satellite imagery can be extremely beautiful [2], and I was looking for a way of regularly receiving high-resolution satellite views of arbitrary locations such as the center pivot irrigation farms of the American heartland [3] in my timeline. Plus, for obvious reasons, it's nice to see the world without actually having to go outside right now.

Currently, I'm running two Twitter bots based on ærialbot:

* @americasquared, which posts one randomly selected square mile of the United States every 4 hours: https://twitter.com/americasquared

* @placesfromorbit, which analogously posts a 5×5 km square anywhere in the world every 6 hours: https://twitter.com/placesfromorbit

It's not just about the rents and finances. Escaping Silicon Valley is also escaping a monoculture. Yes, the Bay has diversity in one sense (for example ethnic backgrounds), but in other ways (diversity of thought) it is very uniform. Urban living is also just one way of living. It's not the way everyone wants or needs to live, and those who want more breathing room can seek that out if they can work remotely. Politics also vary by geographic location, and those who are tired of issues like SF's lack of law enforcement and constant problems with homeless drug addicts have more viable alternatives now. Those who have families/friends in other places will be freer to live near them. I think this is going to be great and hope to see all tech companies adopt remote work.

I actually suspect the directly fake stuff to be less effective overall.

The more effective manipulation is stuff that is partly or narrowly true, but taken out of context with a lot of surrounding narrative applied to it powered by motivated reasoning and intent to manipulate. A lot of connecting out of context 'dots', but ignoring key conflicting or contrary details that don't align with the narrative.

Basically fueled by confirmation bias and motivated reasoning, but weaponized to persuade.

I haven't written a blog about it, but it's a common experience for those building B2B integrations with Facebook. Also common is feature deprecation with replacement functionality gated (read: withheld) behind a closed beta program. They're difficult to join and often can only be entered if you commit to supporting other Facebook APIs and features (those they wish to publicize).
I would be careful: if you're designing a REST API to be consumed by other developers and applications there are conventions and patterns you should stick to.

If your product or service doesn't exist without the UI then why bother with a REST API at all? Write a nice stateful application that is rendered server side. There are great frameworks for this in almost every language.

A good REST API is consumed by applications and developers and they expect you to stick to the conventions or they will turn to another provider if they can.
Yeah, the latter: keychain certificate (under "Certificates").
>Guy moves from Silicon Valley to Portland, Oregon. Portland gets too expensive for some other family, who move to Boise, Idaho. And so on...

Yup. It's a fundamental values problem that can't be fixed without a major ideological shift. A large number of people do not believe that people have the right to do more or less whatever they want on their property. Until that is fixed you're always going to have people saying "but you shouldn't be able to build that there".
Young single people are also likely to couple their job & coworkers with their identity & society. So I could see them wishing they could be in the office.

That is a really important point, but I think that it still doesn't counter the argument about the career downsides of being remote when you don't work for a 100% remote organization.

My company is pretty flexible but as a scientist/engineer I still have some duties where being in the lab is necessary. I'll probably increase my remote work for now but likely not move further away. I enjoy my bike commute in the East Bay.

My company hires a lot of Croatian software engineers. Most of them speak great English. 1/3 are very, very good, 1/3 OK, 1/3 literally terrible. But we rotate the bad ones out and keep the good ones, and the rumor is they cost about 1/3 or 1/2 of an American worker. I honestly feel that the American software engineer may be in trouble if remote really does take off -- 2 solid Croatian guys for the price of 1 tech bro is a very good deal.
Clearly OP was linking selling photos of one's body to the moral failing. They make no mention of those systemic issues.

"... they believe the only way of doing so is via selling pictures of their bodies - I think society has another massive moral failing on its hands"

I don't agree that the moral failing is that people can earn money this way.

Yea but during normal times coworkers will be having face to face conversations at the water cooler which you will miss being remote. So you are missing external interaction, but on the other hand the playing field is level in a way that it won't be once people start going back to the office.

That's not what I said, so your sarcasm is misplaced and makes you seem unnecessarily irritated. Maybe you are misunderstanding the meaning of "greater metro area" which means "a metro area and surrounding, connected developments" and not "better than rural metro area."
I think people here are missing what you're saying because it is subtle. Which is correct. That "troy" is different from "tor•y". "y" should be the suffix. Just like how "fix•ed" would be different from "fi•xed". "y" is the suffix like "itch" vs "itchy".

What this means, building off of what the evidence I gave, is that this model is not learning the morphemes (smallest root meaning). This exact characteristic is part of why these words sound weird. It is the same problem as the one brought up by tasogare.

It's tough to find fair comparisons. The Ioniq for example weighs 500 lbs less than the Tesla and has significantly less range as well.

In addition to aerodynamic improvements (which is of course a non-trivial engineering effort), Tesla does have a unique rear motor design that is more efficient, an industry-leading inverter design, and many incremental engineering efforts that cumulatively save several percentage points. Because they are "all-in" on an EV design they don't have to compromise because of a shared EV/Hybrid vehicle frame design for example.

The EPA listings also provide kWh/100 miles which I use for comparison to avoid the unfair MPGe equivalency.

Somehow the domain has to get into the head of the person doing the modeling. If you're already a domain expert, then it's already there. If you have one next to you, this can happen through conversation. If you don't have an expert with you, you have to load it into your head yourself.

Option 1: Never permit vulgar language in public settings to satisfy people who are offended.

Option 2: Always permit vulgar language in public settings to satisfy those who wish to be vulgarly expressive.

Option 3: Use euphemisms and placeholders, so everybody gets something but not everything. Crucially, it signals mutual respect.

I also think it's important to be aware that much of the available intelligence at that time and reasoning behind it was classified, allowing the perpetrators to establish a narrative that went unchallenged for decades. For instance most Americans are completely unaware that the Japanese were actively trying to negotiate a surrender before Hiroshima was bombed. Most Americans are unaware that a ground invasion of the Japanese mainland was not being seriously considered, this ignorance let the government establish the false narrative you allude to. And most Americans aren't aware that American leadership intercepted communications indicating that the Japanese intended to surrender unconditionally if the Soviets entered the war, which happened on the day that Nagasaki was bombed.
Even worse, in smaller subreddits, where there was for a time a real sense of community, it's slowly being eroded with the population growing. Some users want to keep that community feel, some others want none of it and just an aggregator of content on a subject. The way subreddit grows kill any sense of community, with time, and at one point most users want that. They want it to just be a place they can scroll forever, without any more tangible social connection. Just consuming stuff.
