I think there are a lot of (especially) younger people who are looking at this through the lens of increased urbanization being inevitable. But the reality is that most US cities were still losing population into the nineties.

When I graduated from grad school in the late 80s, basically none of my cohort lived in Boston/Cambridge--including those whose jobs were in the city. (Pretty much all of the tech industry jobs were in the suburbs/exurbs "Route 128")

So, yeah, if there's a mass exodus, even if somewhat transitory, the restaurants and bars and shops will tend to be gone and it won't be easy to refresh. And the people who moved out will be somewhat older and won't be inclined to return and the younger generation won't really get the appeal.

Perhaps. Not everyone is lucky enough to have built their own ecommerce platform, so many people are at the whims of whatever tools Shopify, BigCommerce, 3dCart or others provide.

For this particular problem, none of those platforms can provide any assistance.
USBc is not too big for phones. Lots of phones use USBc now. It's only too big for Apple phones, because Apple will never think their phones are thin enough until you can see through them.
It's calculated year-over-year by matching months because there are significant seasonal effects, so you can't easily go from YOY to figure how it changed month-to-month.

Yikes I don't think anyone else wants this. Destructors (finalisers) are seen as a pretty terrible mistake in Java. There is a better replacement that is reference queues, but I think you want to think extremely hard before using those as well. And no serious GC is going to be able to signal it deterministically! In Java you should really manually clean up external resources. Trying to get the GC to do it for you is never going to end well. The GC doesn't guarantee to free any object at all.
How do people not know this? Commercial landlords seriously have no risk. Taxes and insurance are passed straight through to tenants and the bank is carrying the capital risk.

It's good for the US to have economically prosperous neighbors too.
The line has always been only loosely correlated with economic quality as experienced by the masses, and now it has finally become completely untethered.

Also, see reverse factoring, the new financial tool that let's companies pretend to have much better financials then they do and is probably the next big bubble that will entirely collapse when people start digging into it.
I think that’s the OP’s point, Airbnb pushed the rents up and now during the pandemic and sometime afterwards Airbnb is dead in the water so landlords are all seeking to rent longterm instead. Of course, that is one of the factors, other factors being remote work and unemployment.

I said that they state it as a headline, and then walk it back in their actual paper. Yes, that's relevant - they literally did it so that pro-circumcision folks could tout the very headline you're touting, and they'd still have room to defend themselves from everyone calling them out for a headline they can't defend.

If I print a headline that says "ALL DOGS ARE RED" followed by a text qualifying the words "all," "dogs", and "red", you certainly can assert until the cows come home that I said "All dogs are red", but that would also be incorrect, given anything but the most superficial reading.

Lastly, to the extent that you're presenting the AAP statement as a direct argument from authority, I'm pointing out those other organizations not to argue "I disagree with the AAP", but to point out that in this instance "an argument from authority is invalid, they're roundly criticized by the other authorities."

The article headline was more precise though ("Almost half of the U.S. population does not have a job"), so here editorialising made the headline worse in at least one respect.
It doesn't. If you mark it as Spam through most email programs, it's reported to the sender (Mandrill in our case) and Mandrill automatically black-lists your email address so we don't continue to send to someone that doesn't want the emails.

That's a win-win.
I am not sure we have concrete data, but I'm really concerned about what this will do where I live: Bend, Oregon, which is more of a destination for the types of people getting out of the bay area.

A gradual influx of people is good, as over time it leads to more of a local talent pool, people starting companies, and that sort of thing.

But a rapid influx might be the last straw for a lot of people who are not working remotely in highly paid jobs. Nurses, firefighters, teachers, police, and so on.

In the past, I think our prices moved more or less in sync with other west coast markets, broadly, but if there's a real exodus from cities, that might not hold true this cycle.

Are the jobs with cities listed all Remote OK?
10 out of 61 is 1 out of 6 (well, 6.1), not 1 out of 5. And it wasn't overnight.
all they did was modify an ATV to have a wheelchair-like seat and bike wheels. The reason why wheelchairs look they way they do is so they can be accommodated in indoor environments and fit through doorways or on a bus or folded and stowed away. It is pretty cool though and I can see a disabled person finding this useful but I don't see it as a substitute for a wheelchair either.
> fact Feinstein won on the back of a bunch of "republican" votes, cast strategically in a "blue" state where a traditional candidate wasn't likely to win

Sounds like the issues were around permits and regulations.... which would be a factor in the United States, too.
Sure, but none of them give you the best of both worlds which is SF's selling point. Personally, I'm not the city type which is why I don't live in SF. But I know quite a few who like the social + outdoors life the city offers.

On top of the other reasons mentioned, the seller may have a contract with the manufacturer that covers a "minimum advertised price"

Google guessing seems like a terrible idea. That will just confuse the consumer when they go to purchase and find a different value, possibly creating a customer service problem for the vendor through no fault of their own.
I agree, mechanisms are not always obvious. In the short term the only thing that matters is, "does it work?" If a larger study replicates the positive benefits of red light, well then, let's use it for that purpose!! But I would like to know why...!

There are some stereotypes that are considered funny by both; those the joke is about, and everyone else. A look at the crowd at any Pride parade suggests rainbow colours on everything is pretty much universally humourous.

Everyone hates hatred. But this particular stereotype has rather a positive, celebratory air to it.
Well of course millennials can't afford the inner city, being the poorest generation in modern history. Suburbs are usually cheaper (if you forget to net out transportation costs) so that's where millennials will go.

> Why are people downvoting this?

Probably due to the travel ban being imposed against people from the US by those places right now.
The act itself seems to revolve around limiting section 230 protections (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:47%20section:...) to those who pass a checklist of TBD requirements determined by a TBD bureaucracy.

I've struggled a bit to find resources helping to describe what section 230 protections are actually for, however. Many of the examples explaining section 230 protections seem to revolve around things like defamation in Youtube comments or product reviews, but I'm having trouble making the leap from that to why messengers are so concerned about this bill. Why do tools like messengers need section 230 protections to begin with? AFAICT they still have to submit to things like national security letters, so what does section 230 buy, say, Whatsapp or Signal?
> Why do people focus on aggregate unemployment metrics so much?

Because most people rely on labor income for their support.

> A $10/hr job with no benefits is tremendously different than a $60K/yr job with health care.

But not as different as both are from no job with no benefits.

I don't disagree that it presents an incomplete picture, but it's not an unimportant one, either.
Not to mention we have metrics which tell us exactly what kind of reporting is most likely to have good reader engagement (and thus higher ad payouts). Most news sources are just giving us exactly what the majority of people want.
But not in Montreal! They only do it where it's legal! Laws absolutely work.

What does "diagonal direction" mean here?

Only if by "nothing to do with" you ignore that it is the method by which development is funded.

> Great looking software existed long before the rise of everything being always online.

At which time you had to pay a lot of money for it. If everybody gave the same money to free software developers, they'd have plenty of resources to build interfaces that are more to your satisfaction.
More importantly, they require a lot of intense training to use. Most people doing web design do not have the luxury of putting a vast array of functionality flat on the page and knowing that your users will be trained and intimately aware of each and every function.

I'm glad to hear more people are using it.
But Cloud Native Buildpacks are intended for the happiness of humans as well as machines. They can update an image faster than docker build can, because of careful selection of layers and by performing operations directly against a registry (rebasing). A developer can achieve some the same things with artfully-designed Dockerfiles, but then they're back to "what buildpacks can already do for me".

CNBs are a ground-up redesign of buildpacks, taking advantage of new foundations, with specific efforts to remedy the things that used to suck. They're composible instead of being giant monoliths, they update super fast and then you still get all the other niceties you used to have. Plus someone else maintains them and you'll never need to run a zillion rebuilds for every CVE that affects your OS, it's a simple rebase operation.

In my wildly biased opinion, I think they are worth another look, once you find time.
That basta*d.
Maybe not. If you raise wages in Mexico, the number who come to the US looking for jobs goes down. That may move the supply-vs-demand more in favor of labor in the US.
Even the Y2K-style ecommerce stores usually had a separate S&H section for some guidance. These days the H part (handling) seems less in vogue (perhaps still common on ebay), while S part is pretty predictable if not free.

It's the T (taxes) part that may be still a tipping point these days, but it's just between vendor and your state,
My nothing to hide argument is a little different;

Nothing to hide is an incomplete sentence. Nothing to hide from who? Surly you want to hide your children from abusers and predators? Don't you want to hide your banking details from con artists and fraudsters? Your identity from identity thieves.. Your location from burglars, your car keys from car thieves or your blood type from some rich mobsters with kidney problems..

we don't know who are any of these things. So we should protect ourselves from all of them, in effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who someone is.
I've been watching a number of different markets and it's crazy. In Flagstaff and Chattanooga, for example, many houses get offers within hours of being listed.

Do you move the cables often? Do you stuff them in bags for travel? Do your phones get knocked off tables often by cats/kids?

I am guessing usage patterns will explain the difference.
No, I don't know the exact dimensions of your truck and I am not picturing you in an 18-wheeler. It's well known that the F150, as well as many other SUVs and light trucks have massive blind spots that prevent kids, disabled people, and just generally anyone shorter than 5' from being seen and ultimately have been responsible for many unnecessary deaths and injuries in the US.

Here's a video demonstrating frontal blind zones for several cars/trucks: https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/14/21065319/suv-truck-front-...
The best argument I ever heard was:

It's mutually assured destruction. The EU doesn't want to lose billions of dollars in trade either.
I view this phenomenon as a sort of sociological entropy. Anything bad that can happen will happen if the people tolerate it. Same with shitty politicians, encroaching of rights, etc. Its all just a matter of time.
Even "sub genre" is overstating it. Cask is extremely niche in the US. The vast majority of establishments do not regularly serve cask beers, no matter how craft focused they are.

I am looking for a senior/lead data engineering position in a smaller company < 50.
There are two types of roles I would be interested in:
- Either building data & analytics tools for data engineers or scientists leveraging both my data engineering past and my broad full-stack knowledge.
- Building up the data infrastructure within a startup as one of the first data engineers fully leveraging my data engineering and architecture skills.

Send me an e-mail if you have something interesting that does or does not exactly fit the bill.
Many EVs can handle up to 7.68 kW (32A) at 240V. The F150 has a 7.2kW (30A) option, which is pretty close to that, although an L14-30R connector isn't supposed to exceed 24A (5.76 kW) for continuous loads. That's still >20 miles of range per hour for a typical EV.
Never broken an Apple cable (Laptop, Phone, iPad, etc) in 10+ years either. I grew up as a small child regularly pulling out / pushing in the power cable on a ZX Spectrum, which was a really fragile cable. I guess I learnt a lot of respect for handling cables fairly quickly at a young age from that.
Its plain misleading. A job that doesn't pay the rent should logically be classed with 'no job' and not 'adequate job'. There's the suspicion that folks are getting play for 'creating jobs' when that's just sophistry.
Oh awesome. Maybe someday my friends who are SF natives will be able to move back home.
Because of bad tax policy in California (Prop 13), the biggest source of taxes in California is personal income tax, and mostly by high earners, who are likely employees of these companies. There's already an effect on revenues when the stock market goes up and down, so I imagine companies leaving California would have an even more pronounced effect. Just because corporate tax is low, doesn't mean the money isn't taxed, it'll just be taxed when it's given to employees as salaries.

Additionally, I don't get the impression that companies are able to buy legislation in SF. Otherwise, we wouldn't have policies like Gross Receipts tax, which most of tech companies in SF opposed [0].

In general, I think this obsession with "making corporations pay their fair share" isn't the right way of deciding a good tax policy. We should tax things we want to incentivize as little as possible, and tax things we want to discourage as much as possible. Maybe that leads to higher corporate taxes (I suspect it wouldn't), but the mindset should not revolve around trying to get a pound of flesh. Additionally, it isn't even guaranteed that the tax burden will fall on the corporation just because they're the ones writing the check. So even if our goal is "make corporations pay", tax incidence can just lead to us making labour and customers pay instead.

[0] - FWIW, I don't think gross receipts is not a very efficient tax, since it just encourages vertical integration and discourages multiple companies working together; ie. less competition. Unfortunately, Prop 13 prevents the economically efficient and fair source of revenue
Not light ones. They'll do fine despite the extra microseconds.
