I'd be tempted to agree if their "mistakes" ended with the E2E debacle and Zoom was quick to admit wrongdoing and take responsability.

Unfortunately, it didn't end there. Rather than earning back their reputation, they have continued to burn through it with blunder after blunder.

The company has proven itself ethically corrupt and that's not something that can be made up for with apologies and product improvements. It will take time, demonstrations of humility, and a healthy dose of transparency to restore their reputation with me.
Absolutely not. I have a friend who just moved from Brooklyn to a small town in the Catskills. He pays 10% of his previous rent for more space.
That used to happen occasionally to me as well in earlier macOS versions. Didn't have to do any rearranging since Mojave, I think, definitely not on Catalina.

I still use an old boxy crt as my second monitor. It's at a low resolution, even for it, but it's primarily for slack and video meetings. I code and webbrowse using OSX full screen swipe mechanism on the main laptop screen.

I often reflect on how blurry and oddly colored the crt is in comparison, and that how back in the day I never noticed or cared.

It works fine for slack, and I prefer bigger text for chat anyway. Because it is still working, I don't see a reason to put it in a landfill or be "recycled".
Yes, you need a underlying cause of action...that's how law works.

The point is liability, gun manufactures and dealers can be liable for the products used in killings by third parties...even after lawful sales.

Take the case of the Sandy Hook victims that sued Remington. Initially their case was dismissed, because the lower court rules the manufacture is shielded from any liability under Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), but on appeal the Court overturned the ruling and declared in fact the victims families could sue under State law on separate causes of actions/theories. In that case they were suing Remington for violating the States Fair Trade Practices Act (on the factual basis that Remington marketed military style weapons to civilians). So you could just as easily shrug that of and say "well, liability there sprang from...", of course liability has to spring from somewhere.

So in the case of tech, if you wanted to sue the platform, you need an underlying cause of action...whether that may be defamation, or trademark infringement, or copyright infringement. Liability for the tech platforms would have to spring from somewhere just like any other cause of action.

To do anything with a Result/Optional, you have to explicitly get the value inside the box at some point. But the container abstraction also gives you a nice composition abstractions instead of the uncomposable top-level `val, err := do()` destructure.

My experience is that my attention span sucks enough that there's not a functional difference between encouraging distraction and being necessarily distracting.

I do basically all my work on my laptop without an external display. I use two displays for some specific tasks where I need to look at two things at once.
I agree that there are mathematicians with this viewpoint.

However, I argue that this viewpoint is obsolete and should no longer be acceptable. Sure, it's great if a proof can be clearly understood completely by human. But humans are frighteningly limited creatures. Humans struggle to understand some things, and make mistakes all the time. Euclid's Elements was one of the most popular books of all time, and no one noticed an omission of an axiom for over two thousand years. Mathematicians are smart people, but they are merely people. They make mistakes all the time. Even published papers have had many mistakes found in them.

If the goal is to make up stories and communicate them, then sure, there's no need for computer verification. But that sounds like a fiction writer. I don't think that describes mathematics adequately. Science and engineering all depend on mathematics, and for that to work well, mathematics has to be rigorously correct.

If the goal is for absolute certainty that certain claims are true given certain assumptions, then we need to move beyond the traditional manual methods of verification. Mathematics has gotten too complex for that to work anymore with a reasonable level of confidence. It will be challenging and take time, but so are many other important endeavors.

Is mathematics about truth, or about something else? In many ways this discussion is basically an argument about what is mathematics. You can see where I land on that question. I think truth should be the goal.

>At the end of May, Ilana Freund landed a deal on an apartment in New York City where she will be attending graduate school. She and her roommate signed a lease on a two-bedroom apartment in the West Village for $4,995 a month. It was a significant discount: Similar apartments in the building were going for around $5,300 before the pandemic took hold, according to the listing agent.

wow a whole 6% reduction. Odds are next year it will be back at $5,300. One way to offset this reduction is to increase the mandatory down-payment or increase min. duration of the lease.

This is an important point. Given that Congress is divided between the two parties, the chances of something like this becoming law are zero. So why is the proposal being made? It's a presidential election year, and the president is working the refs, trying to scare them away from anything that might make it even a little bit harder for him to get his "message" out.
> Maybe this sounds strange, but I think there is also a category of people who prefer suburbs or exurbs and are really bitter that the pendulum has swung back to cities in the last ~20 years.

Yeah, that would be me. Paying a King's ransom to rent a hovel in an urban desert isn't my idea of fun. It would probably be OK if I did 100% of my work on a laptop, but with hobbies / side-hustles that involve physical equipment and space, an apartment isn't just dismal, it's stifling. Renting tools is like renting an apartment: high cost, low quality.

I'm counting the days until I can escape.

Nah. I have a 49" curved 1440p monitor. Things you look at less often go to the sides. You can fit 4 reasonable sized windows side by side. Code editor holds over 100 columns at a comfortable font size for me 40 year old eyes. It's the best monitor setup I have ever had. You can spend less and get the exact same real estate with two 27" 1440p monitors. Either way, it is a fine amount of real estate and not at all cumbersome for all day use in my case.
Interesting. I've read, however, that something like that is probably very easily unconstitutional and/or easy to get around. The bigger issue is that the tax code gives landlords incentive to not rent at "market value" and hold out for more money on a long term contract.
It's not just "big" cities, it's all cities at least according to this source [1]. I grew up in RI but I moved to Seattle after graduating college because I didn't want to live in RI anymore but job prospects for tech increase when you're in a city.

I wonder what the cycle to expensive rents is? Wages from jobs start to increase in an area, some housing development happens, rents go up on those new developments to cover costs but also because their renters can afford it, repeat?

Airbnb says otherwise [1] in fact their CEO said not many are converting to long-term rental [2]. No one has the aggregate data exactly, and Airbnb exposing their data is probably a competitive risk.

Though if their CEO is right and rent is still dropping, it blows a giant hole in this theory altogether.

They're claiming lower latency than existing satellites due to lower altitude orbits and are using more satellites to compensate for the decreased coverage from each satellite.

Presumably this setup would also help with the cloud coverage issue due to the shorter travel distance and higher likelihood of redundant satellites to connect to.
I appreciate this. I wasn't familiar with Adi Shamir's secret sharing scheme. I found this video quite helpful in clarifying how it works for cases where only a subset of the participants are required to confirm the secret.

Historically, punk has definitely been on the left than the right, but I somewhat agree those aren't the best terms (but they are what most use, so I used them). A better way to see the political spectrum is the the Political Circle or Horse-shoe theory. Zerohedge would be in the lunatic fringe area.
I could make some guesses, but can someone give me a good answer as to why there aren't any of these satellites close to the poles?
Their competition are geostationary satellites that have high latency due to speed of light delays.

In theory a LEO satellite network could also beat transoceanic fiber connections since the high refractive index causes the speed of light in fiber to be only ~2/3rds the vacuum speed of light. But that would require satellite-to-satellite optical links which the first generation of starlink doesn't have.
It looked bad in the article.
That would explain why there are dense clusters of satellites over middle-of-nowhere oceans, but they're sparse over continents, particularly Asia and Africa.

They're probably going after a different market?
An Easy Guide to Understanding Classes in JavaScript
The speed of light in a vacuum is about 50% faster than the speed of light in glass.

But that requires the inter-satellite links be viable, which they aren't yet: the required lasers would survive reentry and they want the satellites to burn up completely on de-orbit so current versions of the satellites don't have them.

And yes, there are significant capacity limitations. Only the truly rural will get good data rates.
Yeah... I've got a small anecdote. I find that I write better code on lower resolution screens. Right now, I'm on a 1440x900 display at 75 dpi. And it's annoying, for sure. But it keeps my code concise and well-organized. It forces you develop your code around a mental model, instead of a visual model.

I find that at 4K, my code starts spreading out -- horizontally and vertically. That's fine when you're writing it, but when you come back to it months later, it's so hard to comprehend that much information all at once IMO. It's weird. And I might not be explaining it properly.

If you were to write your code on an 800x600 display, you would make sure that every function did not go over 800 vertical pixels. It would probably give you a headache if you did.

I can look at code and almost immediately tell that it was written on a 4K display. Oftentimes, everything is spread out and chained obtusely.

Completely different game for web dev though -- having the browser side by side with your code helps.

It will be short-lived. New York death and new case counts have slowed drastically. By next year things will return to normal.
For added context and to build off your last point, for years it has been relatively standard for luxury rentals in DTLA to offer somewhere between 4-8 weeks free rent. It might be more appropriate to view this as a single free month with free parking when comparing to other markets.
Pretty much every manufacturer puts batteries in the floor of the car. I've yet to see one that doesn't.
I think they could have said something more profound if they hadn't been so obsessed with hitting 95. Martin Luther's 95 theses were organized, clear, and consistent. This, on the other hand, is disjointed, rambling, at times obtuse, and overall not nearly as complimentary to their institution as they had perhaps imagined.
Yep, ShapeUp describes an open "Cool Down" period between cycles, where people are free to work on whatever they want - favorite bugs, features, docs, developer tools, etc.

They discuss how everyone maintains their own personal list of what's important to them and use that to drive their work.

But maintaining a single, centralized list of everything has little value. Anything important is already being tracked in the roadmap, including bugs impacting customers of sufficient priority.

It really is worth reading the ShapeUp book, it provides a good, alternate view of commonly-held beliefs.
I believe ghaff is referring to COVID effects, not rent. Right now in most cities all bars, restaurants, theaters and nightclubs are closed. If you can only leave your Manhattan apartment to buy food, then you might as well be living in Poughkeepsie, and saving $5k a month in rent.

As mentioned before that's how law works. Before the erosion of the federal law protecting manufacturers and sellers of firearms, cases with the very same set of fact would have been dismissed, because there was a law shielding them from liability.

The parties have to be liable for something...and the same would be true with tech companies if their current federal protections were removed, they would have to be liable for some valid legal claims such as negligence, defamation, copyright infringement, trademark infringement.

The point is removing the federal shield the multi-billion dollar companies lobbied for to protect themselves from lawsuits, so when their is an otherwise lawful claim for which they are liable they can be sued.

Honestly, how did you think it works?
My experience pre-full screen on macs was that the green button would do just about any random thing except make the window fill the screen. It would certainly change, usually it would fill vertically (but not always) but almost never horizontally.

Both of your examples are hate speech.

I helped a client do a transfer to S3 via snowball once for a music studio client with a smorgusboard of random hard drives.

The software client for doing the transfer is some sort of command line JVM tool from my memory. You locally create S3 buckets on the snowball and copy from the local disks into the buckets.

Once the snowball is returned, the buckets appear in your online account.
That article is just anecdotal, as such claims always seem to be, whether the claim is that rents are going up because of Airbnb or going down because of Airbnb.
I can't disagree that's it's possible for Google to match up all the stuff it has on people and can get from others. In fact, I made that same assertion in another thread some time ago and got super down-voted over it.

However, there are lots of totally legal scenarios in which two parties match up and combine data on a user containing PII.

I also would like to know if you believe there's something ethically wrong with combining data, provided it's legal and doesn't violate a privacy policy. You haven't said so explicitly but that seems like the implication.

You make a good point.

It's not so much that the young 20-something is suddenly going to decide to decamp to the Maine woods. But, rather, there are natural patterns where many younger people tend to prefer to live in the elite cities today and somewhat older people--many with or planning on children--would rather move out.

Those patterns would likely happen to some degree in any case. But, for many, I expect this is something of a decision point in the vein of "as good a time as any."

I think you're both correct about the increase in supply. There is, of course, also the decrease in demand.

It will be interesting to see if this affects home prices as well. I suppose it depends on how many single / two-family homes are rentals.

I loved seeing 10 year old kids riding their bikes around the parks of Stockholm after dark in the summertime. Hell, I see the same thing in the recently-fixed Snow Park in Oakland.

There's no natural law that says kids can't play safely in nature in an urban environment. Plus the added benefit of meeting and interacting with other kids from all different walks of life.

We just have to prioritize it - and unfortunately the "got my own piece of nature and I'll drive everywhere else" suburban mindset is part of what forces our cities (and suburbs) to remain dangerous asphalt wastelands.
