Forgive the potential facetiousness of my reply because I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but if you know where you'll be then save the images somehow. Knowing how flakey Apple Maps is without connectivity, if it's important, then I'll take screenshots of the route before I leave, for the same reason I'll print out important slides of a presentation because even a lo-fi plan B is better than total failure.

Are online maps really that much better than a paper map? The only real improvement is the same as that of mp3 over carrying a walkman and bunch of tapes. There's not much beyond that, for all the hype.

Like so many things (Amp/SPA websites; social media; 24 hour rolling news…) they seem to me to not really improvements over what we had, because someone somewhere tried to lock the customer in. Maybe that's just misanthropic luddite me.

Previous speeds or country's development status wouldn't factor in to that question, right?

I don't think that it's the right thing to do, but just to share what's being done elsewhere, for 1 it's absolutely the case in Japan.

As an anecdote from first hand experience, if your parents live close enough to your work (less than 2 hours commute) it's considered that you could live with them, regardless of what you actually do. Then, you cannot claim the $7k/year indemnity for accommodation. This is significant for a salary of $36k in this company (not in tech).
I was already paying for all those things, and they were sitting idle during the day while I was at the office using another set of them that my employer was paying for. Except the snacks, I miss the free snacks, but my waistline doesn't.

I'm curious what the IRS will have to say about it. If self-employed people can deduct a certain amount of their square footage as an "office expense", can I do that too? All those things you just listed are now part of my employment.
Aren't Asians people of color? There ares tons in SV.

I have no idea if this has always been the case, but people seem to look at their house as a bank account. They defend it and try and raise prices by blocking new development, keeping residents deemed undesirable out, and enforcing a consistent cookie cutter look with trimmed lawns and just the right number of cars in the driveway.

With that mindset a business could bring in outsiders and be bad for their property value.
I think in a way there is a cultural failing. This feels like a problem some countries don't have. It's not uniquely US, but how big of a problem are large donors in the Netherlands, New Zealand, or Denmark?

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

That is section 230 verbatim.

It says a service provider should not be regarded as a publisher of user submitted content, wherein the user submitting said content thus accepts the role of publishers. I disagree and believe the service provider to be the publisher no differently than a magazine showing advertising the magazine did not themselves create. It’s time the laws reflect the reality of the content in question.

It depends. There are different types of cities in the US. In general, if we're talking about suburbs, there are businesses but they are usually all centered at the same place. Usually referred to as the city center. This can be a smaller or big center, depending on the town. Then there are towns that have those big shopping plazas you usually have to drive to. The city center concept is much nicer in my opinion.
My big issue with Comcast IPv6 is the IP range is constantly changing. Makes it hard to statically assign servers.
Assuming you're in America, most areas are not dense enough to accommodate mixed use zoning unless they start building up. The other half is getting priced out like your grandma.
This proposal is more powerful than that one rust macro, but rust's abilities around embedding files are much more powerful than go's approach.

This proposal allows "go build" to embed things in a very specific way, but it's not meant to be extensible.

Rust's 'include_bytes!' macro on the other hand is a macro in the stdlib that can be emulated in an external library. I'm fairly sure every feature of go's embed proposal could be implemented via a rust macro outside the stdlib.

For a specific example, I had a project where I wanted to serve the project's source code as a tarball (to comply with the AGPL license of the project). I was able to write a rust macro that made this as easy as effectively "SOURCE_TARBALL = include_repo!()" [0] to embed the output of 'git archive' in my binary.

Of course, there's a very conscious tradeoff being made here. In rust, "cargo build" allows arbitrary execution of code for any dependency (trivially via build.rs), while in go, "go build" is meant to be a safe operation with minimal extensibility, side effects, or slowdowns.

Yeah, I've always heard that Lenovo is generally the way to go, but my Yoga C940 really struggles with the USB-C/Thunderbolt Docks.

I've kind of got it working now, but the screen will occasionally cut out and I often have to reboot it so it will wake up the monitor etc - and only one of my two USB-C ports on the laptop are working (I suspect one of them got fried somehow - it doesn't seem to work in Windows either)

I know the Yoga range and the ThinkPad range aren't really comparable, but it's made me quite nervous about spending a larger sum of cash for a more 'workstation' appropriate laptop.
Deal with it now. VCs:
1. Can sniff out drama
2. Want founders happy and productive, not in-fighting among the team

But, I'd also ask if you're being fair. IMO, technical people aren't the best at assessing non-technical people (I'm a technical person saying this). The spreadsheets might be wrong, but is PC landing all the deals and actually reason why investors are lined up to begin with? In other words, is PC any unique value, that can't be easily replaced (a "dealmaker" can't be replaced easily)?

Only you can answer that. If the answer is no, I vote to address this now. If they really are adding value (in the way that I described), then you might have to bring in help with the things they are not good at to supplement.
The downside to this is forming an addiction e.g. get in shape and look good --> eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, etc.

It's so easy to fall into this trap of obsessing over achieving your one goal to the detriment of your health and sanity (developing OCD, etc.)

Can anyone relate? for me it was the gym which spilled over into unhealthy diets and unhealthy relationship to eating normal food that had carbs like it was going to kill me until I realized how obsessed I was becoming and quit the gym for outdoor activities.

I tend to agree with the concept, but you'd probably have to address holidays that are season-specific.

Perhaps 'Christmas is always in the third winter time-block', or something to that effect.
In 1948 thermonuclear weapons did not yet exist.

The bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 were about 1000 times as powerful as the largest conventional bombs. Thermonuclear weapons came about in the 1950s. The thermonuclear bombs the USA and USSR had in 1958 were about 1000 times as powerful as the 1945 bombs. It was the development of thermonuclear bombs that made nuclear weaponry the swords of civilizational extinction.

C.S. Lewis was writing about weapons 1000 times less powerful than you're thinking of. He was also writing when the number of nuclear weapons that had been stockpiled was much smaller.
Working from home becoming the norm can only be a net positive for society and the environment and the economy.

Yeah, response time might be slower in the middle of the night, but a falsified tweet on a celebrity account in the middle of the night is also likely proportionally less damaging.

Response time during lunch hour might be slower initially, but after responding to the first compromised account I don't think they'd be any slower.

If an admin account is only supposed to be for use by a human employee, it should have a rate-limit tripwire that automatically suspends the account and alerts the security team.
I think they meant a business that is destined to die. Could be wrong though.
Do we know if humans spread out evenly when they move into a new area?

Could it be possible that the lack of evidence farther north was because it was more sparsely populated or there wasn't a consistent population?

I really don't understand this. In a cubicle farm environment, you'd walk over their desk, interrupt whatever they are doing, and ask them to follow you to a separate meeting room to use the whiteboard? And how are other people supposed to contribute if you close the door in order not to disturb anyone in the radius of this meeting room?

I found that it's much less awkward to hit them up on collaborative tools. Meetings are also much easier to spin since you don't have to herd people into a single room and convince them as hard to use their limited time on this meeting since they can just do something else in the background if they're not in another one.
how is japans copyright different than the rest of the worlds? as far as i know most countries either follow the european model with stronger moral rights, or the US model.

unless japans courts take a stronger interpretation of the laws than most other countries. or few people in japan release their images under suitable licenses...
The way modeling can work is that you take a photograph of a mannequin with the clothes upon it then digitally add in facial features or skin tone.

Even just being able to shift skin tone, and not show a face will work and will add to profitablily because people do want to know that clothing will work with their complexion

That doesn't seem to be the cause. Competition from out-of-copyright traditional or nineteenth-century songs didn't prevent pop songwriters from having new Christmas hits until the post-Carey slump, and most of those commercial Christmas hits haven't gone out of copyright themselves yet.
I think the root issue is the creator didn't entirely understand what they were giving away. Harper Collins and all publishers don't create content. They are a delivery platform. Unfortunately to use their delivery platform I have to give them exclusive rights to the content (it's even worse than face book and reddit where they merely claim right to use the content).

In return they'll give you <10% of the profits of publishing the book. That seems like a terrible deal today.

On top of that we're also talking about books where the author is dead.

Why is anyone entitled to my creation isn't a valid question to ask of book publishers. They didn't create a thing.
Yes, “floating” holidays are already a thing, so some of them would just have to be tied to the astronomical calendar instead of the social calendar.

Not to the same extent. It wasn't until cars became a thing that it became practical for most rich people to live more than a (healthy) walking distance away from working class people. If they lived too far away, then you wouldn't be able to have them work for you.

Congrats on the MVP. People who are serious about getting these notifications are likely subscribing to IPOscoop or something similar. Not meant to discourage but feels a bit beta to me. Get eye balls and iterate. There are a lot of problems buried in EDGAR filings that I believe people are willing to pay for.
Worth noting that that's not American. I don't know if or how the cultural or legal issues differ, but it's not obviously apples-to-apples.
Is OpenAI gpt3 permissioned or permissionless?

Big corporations have increasingly gamed the system so they are not even vulnerable to class action lawsuits by inserting arbitration clauses in their agreements. Seems like this is the case with Stripe too: https://stripe.com/legal#section_e

Our anti-consumer/anti-little guy system is a result of our corrupt pro-business political system. Elizabeth Warren (next VP?) gets it -- wants to break up the big tech companies and return fairness to the little guy / consumer. Maybe we should reach out to her office and make sure Stripe is in her crosshairs like Facebook is.
Go browse Blind for a few hours and you'll see how people really feel about these issues. I know some of the comments are in the minority, but even then, some of the comments are straight up vile.
Heck yes I want to move away from socioeconomic classes that could potentially put my daughter in harms way. We lived in a lower class neighborhood and while my two year old daughter was playing with a shovel in the front yard a drug deal went bad at the house across from us and the kid (he was maybe 16) started shooting his gun into the air. I’d stopped his mom from strangling him two years before that. Before that, I’d stopped his mother from being assaulted by her boyfriend a few years before. And until my daughter was born, I didn’t really care.

But thinking of my daughter getting hit by a stray bullet was terrifying, and we got a mortgage and moved to a house worth 6x the price a few months later. It was sad because our neighbors behind us were Venezuelan refugees with two kids and we got along really well.

I’m not ashamed of wanting to keep my children safe, and I’m not going to put them at risk so I can fulfill others vague notions of “inclusiveness”. The police took 45+ minutes to show up any time I called.

Funny thing is, the middle class neighborhood I live in now is much MORE diverse, not less. We have Africans, Southern Asians, East Asians, Spaniards, Russians, and all manner of professionals from all over the world. We bought the house from some Pakistanis. Heck, my neighbor is a convicted felon for dealing in his younger days but even him and his wife and six kids are okay.
More precisely, a standing policy that researching patents is forbidden is prima facie evidence that your employees couldn't have possibly known about an existing patent. That means that a plaintiff suing for willful infringement will need to find evidence that someone went out of their way to ignore the policy. That might be quite difficult.

(Of course: not a lawyer, this is not legal advice)
I'm a big fan of "fun to read" "trashy" novels. Raymond Chandler (author of the Philip Marlowe detective novels) once said that when he got stuck writing he would have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.

Yes, in specific fields like finance.

But, usually better to weight technology quite low when picking what to work on. Product and company culture has much bigger impacts on your quality of life in my opinion.

I don't want to work with Spring, TYPO3, or OOUI, and all of those things have made me sad in the past. But, I really don't want to work at a company where people micro-manage, run around like headless chickens, get stressed at each-other, schedule endless meetings, or where the product is something pointless that no-one wants. Any of that stuff is bad.

This is great. I'm going through this right now. Been a long time since I slept well.
> The rise of the automobile and destruction of commuter rail lead to a ton of land accessible to people who worked in cities. And in conjunction with the exclusionary zoning that was used to protect the capitalistic gains of property values, the idea of mixed-use zoning became antiquated and counter productive to financial and social interests.

This is a solid argument, but I don't see the link between this and racism/classism.

Perhaps it implies a link to some kind of 'systemic classism', as when individual people make decisions to benefit themselves, those with money tend to have more agency.

It seems like everywhere cars and rail allowed suburbanisation people jumped at the chance to get a comfortable home on large lots at a cheap price. It turns out massive, exclusion-zoned suburbs were short-sighted, and many places are now pursuing a 'city of villages' planning strategy.

It's not obvious to me that, if you take out any explicit class or race biases, the world wouldn't have followed the same path with respect to businesses in these suburbs.
Sure, but this is closer to having soda delivered to your home. The costs on the production side don't matter to you. You only care about price, quality, and delivery time.

I personally suspect the employment market is just not very efficient due to a lack of information. If companies had perfectly accurate information about how good every software person is, available for free, we'd probably all be paid based on that information, with our cost of living ignored.
One of my favorite quotes from the book: "We who lived in the concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms--to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way”.
Are you speculating or do you have specific examples? It sounds far fetched. Not to mention that whites are not even a majority in many of the wealthy suburbs. Many of Asian and Indian families.
A greater shock for many is the complete lack of footpaths/sidewalks virtually anywhere outside of commercial districts or inner-most metros.

The idea of walking anywhere is insane. To get from a typical suburb to the nearest business district or strip mall would usually require walking several miles along the shoulder, with frequent illegal crossing of arterial roads.
I think Son is looking for the next big thing, probably something about shared workspaces.
If you have the control and are in a position to spend the time (which may well depend on family situation), it's partly a function of making the time. Which I've usually done when practical. The timing is not always practical but, in normal times, I've made a point of tacking on personal time to work trips. At the moment, I'm sorry I didn't extend one or two of my early 2020 trips more, but who knew?

The first tablet ever to use an RLCD Display – Hisense Q5 Review
I like the solar hijri calendar (not to be confused with the lunar hijri). Better than anno domini would be a anno mundi system, but to make a new scientific anno mundi system rather than the old way, due directly to the Earth going around the Sun, because that is how the year is considered, so to count years starting from that, too. For time keeping, use local time based on mean solar time, with no daylight saving time (I hate daylight saving time), with 12:00 being mean solar noon. Perhaps make half hour time zones. Continue using UTC with a "Z" suffix when you need to use the time that isn't local time (and if you do need to explicitly note local time, you can use a "J" suffix, or use the + and - and number of hours if you need to specify the timezone explicitly too). My idea for dealing with leap seconds in Unix time is to allow the number of nanoseconds to exceed one billion during a leap second; at all other times, the number of nanoseconds is less than one billion. Don't be over-civilization.

My ideas do perhaps have some (maybe most, or even all) of the problems mentioned in that document, but nevertheless, this is my ideas.
> I don't want racist and white supremacists spreading their rhetoric

That ship has sailed.

> At the same time, I don't want merely unpopular opinions getting the full weight of societal pressure causing problems for people that merely want to discuss what are actually open questions.

Free speech isn't just about who gets to speak what, it's about who decides who gets to read/listen/watch what they want. That's basically the crux of censorship, right? I don't want mob induced censorship any more than I want government censorship.

In the end, cancel culture is people who choose not to use free speech to push their agenda, but instead threatens other's livelihood or shame critics of an unpopular position into silence.
>This means, almost by definition, that the most viewed versions of these photos on twitter, probably by a very high margin, have no attribution.

>Why is this bonkers? The right to attribution is clear, and it’s not your place to judge whether or not the artist should be exercising it.

Does it mean that any sort of action needed to see the attribution constitutes "hiding" it, opening you to liability? What if the image was too big and I have to scroll down to see the attribution? What's the difference between having to click on a thumbnail to see an attribution, and having to scroll down? What if the attribution is too small to see at normal zoom levels, and you have to zoom in? Unless his name was plastered all over the picture (thereby ruining it), I doubt anyone on a phone is going to be able to read the authorship information. Do we need modals in front of every image with the attribution, so we know for sure that the viewer knows who created the image?
