you cite "very clear case of wrong doing like the George Floyd case," but the only reason that is clear is because of civilian video recording.

Here is how the police described it in the official MPD report:
"Two officers arrived and located the suspect, a male believed to be in his 40s, in his car. He was ordered to step from his car. After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance. He was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later."
npm did a fantastic job. Before it JS "dependency management" has been copying other people's scripts from random websites, embedding them in countless performance-degrading <script> tags, and never updating the code ever.
I am not talking about malicious code contrary to Google's intention being ran on their infrastructure. I am talking about code that Google wants to run. Code that harvests DNS queries for ad targeting might be within Google's objectives and wouldn't be considered as malicious, but it would be malicious when looking at it from the user's point of view.
Shielding helps. That is correct. But it does not help with ringing, temperature and other such kind of problems. And shielding is expansive.

What shielding does not help as well is contacting problems because of corrosion or dirt. We are talking about a consumer product and not a well designed any lay out wiring by some system integrator. Consumers are doing all kind of bad things to connectors and will complain if it does not work.
I agree that career grow will require living close to HQ, but some people don't care too much about career growth and prefer to live in a place they like. So I suspect that many people will never return.

Do you have any evidence that Halliday's reputation has benefitted Substack (the company) in any way or that this was intentional?

I view it simply as a catchy name and nothing more.
I completely agree with the point you are making but calling an Amazon L10 "basically a typist" weakens your argument and is absurdly dismissive.
bit strange to arrange a tournament in a place with no taps and no shops, but ok;

“On average, a professional water delivery service will charge anywhere from $175 to $380 per truckload., and the average truck will hold 6,000 gallons.” - https://www.howmuchisit.org/pool-water-delivery-cost/

Could buy a lot of those for the price of an SUV, especially sharing the price between all the people.

Inb4 the tournament is held on a remote mountain top inaccessible to tankers and hatchbacks alike and only accessible to 4x4s so there’s literally no other choice.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to offer public housing in the form of a single wide trailer in Modesto than urban housing with solar?
It's not a bug but a feature! It wasn't just that the policy debating was rushed (it was), but it was also that precisely calculating how much you "should" earn is actually a really hard thing to do.

Do you use this years tax return? What if they haven't filed it yet? Maybe last years? Well what about tipped income? What about seasonal workers? What about people who do not typically qualify for unemployment? etc etc etc.

Frankly, it's just easier (from as administrative stance) to sorta throw money at the problem, and sorta hope it all washes out in the end. And since many states are reimposing shut down, it seems prudent to extend enhanced UI for the time being (at least until we're able to safely reopen). People like to bash against the US for "only" giving a one time payment of $1,200, but to ignore enhanced UI as part of the stimulus is intellectually dishonest.

Will this policy cost us? Sure it will! It will likely mean higher taxes (and not just on wealthy people, but certainly they're the place to start) to maintain a stable GDP/debt ratio in the future. But the cost of not doing so and tanking the US economy is almost certainly worth it.
I mean, doesn't California tax you even if you live somewhere else but work in California?
Hard to do I think. Even plain old "linux but for phones" is pretty difficult at this point because:

--most drivers and hardware specifications are proprietary, and probably secret under NDA

--most bootloaders are cryptographically locked and controlled by vendor

--necessary wifi and cellular modem hardware is the same, and are also patent minefields even in the foundational platonic ideals of design, as is mobile graphics hardware

--the modems are subject to regulatory requirements that they be secured from modification by the user/owner of the device

Secure in this context means secure from the user and device owner, which can arguably be for good reason -- think of an ATM kiosk, for example.

So no "tails for phones" yet, but people are trying. Check out postmarketOS, lineageOS, replicant, sailfish. Last I tried things were still kind of science project, like 90's style linux.
Inequality has positive consequences as well as negative ones. It's more likely to create venture capital and a market for high risk investments that have a significant chance to lose all the capital invested. Venture capital is a bad idea for retirement funds which would be the majority of investments in a relatively or perfectly equal world. I think it's likely you'd see significant declines in pursuing risky ideas that can change the world, for example a lot of the projects pursued by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, wouldn't be possible without the unequal capital that leads to billionaires contributing significant capital to such endeavours. Space exploration seems to be an area of substantial interest to billionaires where we now see private companies making substantial achievements while NASA and many other government space programs seem to be in decline from their peak.

As for maintaining inequality, it usually involves some form of force exerted on labour markets where voluntary exchange gets replaced by something involving almost entirely compulsion. Voluntary exchange of labour will always result in inequality as people's talents and the value of those talents are radically different. I'm not claiming markets get these problems correct (Many education and some health professionals seem to be dramatically underpaid relative to value), but people can at least make somewhat informed choices as to what they want to do with some knowledge of the value they will gain from it. A world where equality is enforced will have the government at a minimum telling people what they can earn from what they can do, and in sectors where demand is higher than supply they very likely end up enforcing who can do those things as well. Freedom of association in labour is very important to me and to me seems more valuable than enforced equality in a lot of ways.

I agree with the conclusion that the one big question is "How much inequality is right for society?". Another big question is some variant of "How can governments influence the distribution of that inequality without violating individual rights, while working to maximize a reasonable function of overall happiness?"

I'm of the opinion that trending towards a guaranteed basic income in supported by higher taxes and reduction in redundant programs is likely to be a good path forward provided those programs are carefully designed around incentives and the taxes are designed to be revenue efficient and minimally disruptive. I'm partially of this opinion because I believe it frees people up to pursue their artistic goals and could usher in a wave of unprecedented creativity in society. Not everyone is willing to go homeless to produce the next Harry Potter but many people will choose writing over a minimum wage job if given the choice. I think lower supply in labour markets leading to higher wages for some of the terrible jobs that currently people are made to do because of lack of alternatives is a net good thing for society even with the consequences of higher prices on some essential goods.
Their credibility was shot, though, who would buy from them again? They just told everyone they were completely pwned.
More companies are now hiring remote staff, so this is certainly going to have a long term effect. The rent might keep dropping, and at some , will there be an equilibrium because more people might start moving in because of the reduced cost of living?
A malicious developer might reveal details about themselves during the transaction process despite using bogus credentials. They might reuse those credentials for other things, or provide other revealing details in what they upload. So at the very least the adversary is revealing how they would obfuscate their identity, which can be connected to past or future criminal activity.
The "company that specializes in this sort of thing" is called... Facebook. They look at your friends and their listed birthdays to generate an ad category...
NYC already has arrangements for this. Since a lot of people live in NJ and CT, they have city taxes that apply to people working there and living in other states. I believe most states with high tech industry will do just that. It is not a difficult problem to solve like some people imagine.
> The GDP per capita in Central African Republic is $681/year.

No doubt you factored in that 40% of the CAR is under 14. (And fully 60% is under 25).

The denominator also counts. And that's ENTIRELY controlled by the good folk of the CAR.
yeah, even parts of Panama and Costa Rica have so much cocaine running through them that people basically just have gobs of the stuff on them and 75% of the ex-pats there are somewhere between drunk and coke-addled most days :P Mind trying to buy it as a tourist though, "Just follow me down this alley" - ah you'll prob just a confusing fast run around about needing to make change in a currency not your own and end up with a little bit of what you thought you were buying for a whole lot more than it should have cost...
Human behavior is always complex and is rarely capture merely by a single number like "Rent".

Yes, rent is the #1 problem in San Francisco and maybe even California, but it is high because there is a lot of demand. Even building a million units might not make a serious dent in the rent pricing, because as the housing quality would improve more people would move in, and end up like New York: high rents and high density.

There are some unique features of the SF market: 25% of immigrants that will show a different elasticity (they literally cannot move to another state, it would be illegal), but at the same time immigration hostility means that people running out of visas will not be renewed, and then the general situation that moving out is more cumbersome, risky, and uncertain meaning it happens a lot less.

I wouldn't count on this to mean that rents will crash a lot more, but there might be a new equilibrium that is a bit lower.

If you physically work in California yes. I don't know what happens if you work for a company whose HQ is in California but you're physically in a different state.
Would be interesting to hear the answer if anyone knows it.
I've known their `ladmin` password for a looong while - it was available online at least since 2015. And as far as I'm aware - the same password was used for multiple Telia routers' models (ADB-branded ones) - not just a single model.

There also was a user called `tadmin`, but I wasn't able to figure out the password for that one.
A lot of companies didn't take remote work seriously. They used it for small teams and specific areas but as the pandemic forced everyone to adopt WFH and remote every company has had to become efficient at it.

I think a lot of the survey is accurate. There will be a lot of people that decide to permanently relocate. It's already visible in the market data from rent because even as people are considering leaving, the second side of the equation is that people have stopped moving in.

These two factors together will create a shift whereby for the next two years rents will drop, however after that, as the world moves forward and recovers, SF will ultimately rebound as other metro areas as well.

This will be a short term solution, to a long term problem, in that there isn't enough housing supply in SF for the next decade unless this trend is permanent, which I don't believe that it is.
I just hope the fallout doesn’t “fall out” before I get a chance to move first!
Tl;dr: Food consumers care about price. That’s been true since at least Victorian times. Selling items in a competitive market can be tough for vendors but good for consumers.

Price matters.
"Might be shopping for birthday presents" doesn't seem sleazy to me
People will just transfer to satellite offices / companies will establish a presence outside of California. I'm sure at some point the CA legislature will attempt to tax any "work that has a material benefit to a California business", but that is a shaky legal argument.
This isn't a bad list of resources.

But I'm not seeing any profound new value from curating them all together. You still have a large list of opinionated ways to lose weight, some of which conflict with each other, and none of which take into account personal abilities or differences.

What would bring value is to curate them into categories - Here are a list of non-conflicting tips for IF. And another list for people who can't fast, but want to reduce calories. Another for old people, another for young. And another for those with disabilities or metabolic concerns that preclude certain tips. Or even something more interactive - If tip #7 sounds good to you to try, click it and all the conflicting advice is removed, so you can choose from a menu of ideas and end up with a customized plan to try.
"Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin." - John von Neumann

One might argue that the point of synthetic data is to produce pseudo-random samples, but they are only ever going to reflect the biases of the interpreter and so the critique will still be worth holding for its cautionary significance.
He probably should have worded it better but the comment does not refer to the entire community. Unfortunately there absolutely is a collection of anti-systemd trolls within the community that have been egging him on for quite some time now and will gladly dog-pile on these github issues with insults and conspiracy theories. I honestly did not even know who he was before I saw lots of this type of toxic and hateful post being directed at him on reddit.
i don't understand your point; openjdk is free beer too. and graal-vm is an oracle project, as is hotspot?
The thing here is "Windows containers" -- ie, OS virtualisation of the NT kernel. Most software that uses classic .NET, COM, win32 etc APIs need to run on Windows. Stuff that runs on Linux typically gets run on Linux.
If not stored in the database, it ensures that a database dump alone isn’t enough to recover even a single password. It certainly doesn’t have the level of impact that salting passwords or using a cpu-hard and memory-hard hash does, but it’s certainly something.

Modern password hashes like argon2 include this feature natively.

I'm not in research but the same thing happens in embedded development: parts that you need an account to purchase and for which you need to log in to view the datasheet are less popular than those that have clones and for which the PDFs are available right inside my EDA tool.
I would say logistics is outside the realm of the software itself, but rather with the organization. It's a valid point, but somewhat tangential to what Fowler is trying to say here. That is, software is not inherently complex, but rather becomes complex through our own doing, and it takes good architecture to attempt to prevent this.
While the mobile-first movement may sometimes go to far it can be a life saver in places where fully featured interfaces are out of reach.

I think the sweet spot is mobile-compatible controls and progressively enhanced design that can scale up or down. Preferably using the simplest tools, even if unfashionable.
This seems absolutely bonkers. World's largest LARP. Extremely Soviet to have what is effectively a Potemkin village for an audience. Bizarre that more of it wasn't filmed, producing "only" 700 hours of film, and the whole thing seems to have been done fairly quietly rather than a massive blaze of publicity.

Like Endemol's "Big Brother", on a city scale.

The abuse may also have become .. intrinsic to the project? The voyeuristic dominant seems to be a common type among film directors. He had a unique opportunity to control and film sexual interactions, and he may simply have decided to carry on with it because nobody stopped him.

The survey in OP suggests that they are, with two important caveats:

* This is obviously not even close to a representative sample of workers

* It's predicated on "if you had a choice", and we don't know how many people will actually have that choice
Civet: Run a command, multiple times over, with different arguments
In a free market, workers are always in a position to negotiate. They can always renegotiate.

Is Amazon the only employer in the USA? No. So workers always have somewhere else to go for work.

The workers credit is the compensation they agreed to when deciding to work for Amazon. Nothing more, nothing less. There is nothing special about accepting employment. That’s what the majority of people do.

“It’s just Bezos and Amazon on the news” because Bezos willed Amazon into existence, a company that brings endless value to millions of people. You are right, starting a company is not difficult, but creating a company that brings so much value is.
Those measures (and bypass methods) can be improved to more loudly tell the user of what could happen, and the risks associated though. Them being there doesn't mean they can't be improved. A ton of these malware types have come out long after these messages were (possibly arbitrarily) designed and written. I've heard of changes with Windows Defender in this respect (to more accurately reflect current threats like ransomware) but I haven't heard of Apple doing anything similar.

Depends how big a deficit you're running each year. But 'catch up' is a really vague term. As long as you can keep borrowing at low interest rates there's no problem, you can just borrow more to pay the interest, but eventually people will start to doubt your ability to pay it all back (yes this is irrelevant if a country exists forever, but infinity is weird like that).
And Zuck is right, they will come back eventually. Facebook seems to drive a lot of value for advertisers, due to the amazing targeting ability they provide. They know so much about people, it's scary.

And while people make a lot of noise about deleting their FB accounts, the truth is that those only represent a tiny fraction of overall usage. Not enough to make a material dent.

I think the only real way for lasting change to take hold against Facebook is for individuals to openly boycott companies that advertise on Facebook. But even that is difficult to do and maintain. Facebook is in a very strong position. If they truly needed to change to survive, they would have already done it.
True. There are two sub-categories referencing crime involving a computer under 'Public Order'

i am going through this right now. what i find so far is, that for the actual productivity, the time of day doesn't matter, but if i set myself a goal of achieving a certain amount of progress in my writing, then the later the day gets, the less likely i am to get it all done. so i want to start early simply so that i can relax later, or use any additional time available to write more.

both trying to create scarce money out of not-scarce not-money.

both slavishly grinding away at technical attacks as solutions to the irreconcilable structural flaws in their basic assumptions, rather than reexamining the validity of those assumptions.

Both utterly infested with corrupting motives, con men (and women) and charlatans who pretend to ideology but are merely opportunistic scroungers who mastered just enough technical hype-speak (or as it was expressed in Faust, "warmed up stuff") to bamboozle other, less sophisticated pretend ideologues into propping up their scam.

both ending up incidentally furthering technology which will go on to do interesting things unrelated to philosopher's stones/blockchains.

They even have strikingly similar origin stories in a fictionalized, pseudononymous creator-ideologue (hermes trismegistus/Satoshi nakamoto) who proposed the outline of their respective magnum opus processes on a color-coded sacred text (emerald tablet/white paper)
Yes, if that person's work is 10,000 times more influential? Which it probably is?

Also “someone that is basically a typist“ is so... dismissive. If I were paid for my typing I’d be broke, my most productive days are often days I type the least. I am paid for my reasoning and deduction, not my ability to type.

When would it be inappropriate to use synthetic data to increase your study's statistical power?
It is type safe. Any integers with a defined type cannot be used as values of type "state" without an explicit conversion occurring.

Type safety does not guarantee exhaustive matching, unfortunately, because the underlying type is still an integer, but that's a separate issue.

I wish Go had proper, exhaustive enums too (sum types preferably), but you're incorrect when you say that they don't have type safety.
For 15+ years I have noticed a certain set of people trying to make a claim that people are leaving or desire to leave "the cities" for the suburbs or rural areas in America. NYC growth has slowed since 2017, and certainly there will be a rush for cheaper housing as a result of COVID, but the physics that have driven people to urban centers hasn't changed at all.
Depends largely on the city. A few years ago, I owned a 4 bedroom, 2400+ sq. ft. home in Houston for less than half that per month, and it doesn't look like prices have gone up much (there) since then.
