It depends... IIRC, It seems i'm probably paying a lot less than you are for the flooring/install. OTOH, the two times I've gotten quotes to sand and finish a floor its been more than just ripping out and putting in something else.

I guess it would be pretty inexpensive to rent a sander and do it myself (or hire unskilled labor) but i'm not sure I trust the latter, and the former sounds like the kind of frustration I don't need more of. I've tangentially helped people sand their decks and its was a PITA.

In Austin, there are a lot of people who can install wood flooring, and they are crazy fast, and it turns out that makes them pretty inexpensive. That is part of the reason I do floating floors in the rentals. The removal costs for a glued down floor, or "well installed" linoleum, is many multiples what it costs to put the new flooring in.

I'm curious about whether the author tried to optimize Elo's K factor. It's often left at 32, which is not reasonable for all contests. It's essentially related to the standard deviation of player skills: if there is a large range of skills, it should be large, and if there is a small range, it should be small. It's easy to tune by optimisation, and it has a huge effect on predictive ability.

> The in unit smoke detectors can be triggered to warn occupants

This is specifically because the National Construction Code (NCC) requires multiple occupancy buildings to have certain fire safety infrastructure that generally includes a 2 hour fire separation between different occupancy units. This gives a buffer to all other occupants.

> There are also smoke detectors in the hallway.
If a detector is triggered in a common area this has the potential to affect the escape routes of multiple occupants so it triggers an immediate fire alarm.

Australian fire safety rules are some of the best in the world.

Business is all about calculated risks. You can't tell the future, so you make decisions based on your best guess on how the future will play out.

The covid downturn happened over 3 months (feb - april). To start laying off people you have be sure there's no recovery happening around the corner. For example, you may bet that business will improve in may, june, july that will save their jobs and your business outlook. I'm obviously over simplifying since projects, release dates, projected ad revenue and a 100 other factors play into it.

It's easy to sit on the side lines and judge it with the history behind us, but reality is more complicated.

IE 6 had such a history where it held back other browsers and developers were held hostage to it for several years. Now we have Chrome to fill that gap and some Google platforms won’t work well or work the same on Firefox.
> who contributed months/years of sweat equity as well as actual capital

Very often not true in silicon valley. The only sweat equity most founders contributed was toiling through coffees and get-togethers on University Ave or SOMA for a few months until they got the seed money. Then they hire engineer #1 at 1/80th their own equity.

Founders at funded startups pay themselves.

During an acquihire, founders get executive roles, salaries, bonuses, and equity, while "non-founders" are just back to the grind.

The notion of "founder risk" in SV-style startups just doesn't exist like it did a generation or two ago.

I don't really know, I'm not an expert in the field. What I do know, is that I can usually get almost anything written in English in a statistics text, but when it goes mathematical notation I really struggle even with the simplest of concepts.

Type theory is a little like that, at least from some authors that - although the are is well suited for symbols - kind of goes a little off the rails using seven different kind of arrows and all the symbols in at least three different alphabets, instead of maybe just write covariant, or even an abbreviated form adjecent to the arrow?

You keep skipping over the reason. It's like saying the internet is nothing new because we had radio before. That's how big of a change social media is with the scale and reach.

It all basically happened in a decade, and especially grew in the last few years where even presidents are making news on Twitter first. And when the CEO of Twitter says social media is a right, it further begs the question of what access and moderation really mean.

That’s not at all true. Links doesn’t care if a text field is properly labeled and a screen reader user with a modern browser can happily use a site built using a front-end framework if the developer has taken proper steps (e.g. focus management on “page” transitions, used ARIA live regions to announce dynamic changes).

In most (every?) states it's illegal for them to force you to stop. I don't have a Costco membership, but some other stores around here pull the same stuff sometimes. I just politely tell the person, "No thanks" and keep walking. With Costco you risk them canceling your membership, so take that path with that risk in mind.
I find it nice that they do it - one of the things they check for is items that you purchase via cardboard card (laptops, gift cards, gym memberships, etc...). I'm always surprised that people find it so offensive that someone is double checking that you got all your items while double checking that you aren't stealing. I've never once felt like a criminal.

oh I completely disagree, early employees are often not paid on day 1, and when they are paid, they still do bear a huge risk - often taking much lower salary than market for the opportunity of equity upside. The risk the early employee takes is often the same as the founder's, with less upside.
I couldn't agree more. I think the introduction of types in JS (either TS or flow) has been the single biggest leap in front end development in a decade.
Because it comes down to what I advocate, guest languages only look nicer on the surface, they add up more layers to debug, extra tooling to integrate, FFI to platform and library wrappers for idiomatic code.

Since the Web platform isn't going away from JavaScript anytime soon, and WebAssembly is relatively constrained beyond WebGL, that leaves UI frameworks as the possible "platform".

What I am looking for is that the adoption will keep carrying on, to the point that browser natively understand Typescript, or WebIDL for that matter.
That's kind of a chicken and egg problem though, Linkedin never developed much features outside of recruiting activities so that's the revenue they have.

Linkedin has a much bigger potential than that though, just the social aspect and networking impact could be pretty significant.

A long time ago Cool Edit Pro was the definitive choice on Windows. It became Adobe Audition and 'disappeared' into their Creative Cloud subscription bundle - it's still actively developed but I no longer hear of people using it.

iZotope RX is meant more for audio restoration (and is the industry standard there), but you can also use it for many audio editing tasks.

I've personally switched to Acustica by Acon Digital. The GUI isn't perfect, but it's very fast, and has an impressive audio separation tool based on Spleeter.

All those tools seem to have taken some influence from that Cool Edit Pro GUI.

It's been quite a while since I last used the deal since I've not been in the store. I think the last time I used it was something like $80 for $100 in playstation store gift cards, but I think I'm more used to the 10% off as the general rule for their gift cards.

ETA: I just checked online and they're only 10% off (both Xbox and PS).
Git actually does ship with parsers for different programming languages, I believe, because when you do a diff, it captions the changed lines with the function call they're from, etc. That said I've also used third-party "semantic diff" tools (generally for Windows) that have integrations with git. It's really nice when Github can't merge something, but you can, easily, locally, with a semantic merge/diff tool called from git.
The joke is that Wittgenstein's statements are the axioms/rules for the language game he intends to play.

And then he proceeds to play the language game he said he is going to play given his interpretation of the rules he set forth.

It's the rule-following paradox in practice.

"This was our paradox: no course of action could be determined by a rule, because any course of action can be made out to accord with the rule"

He's taking the piss of axiomatic/formal reasoning which is the epitome of pointless rule-following.

The question of who is exactly the point, the American ideal is all people get a voice. The more our voices are squashed by a powerful special interest, like the collective media and big tech, the more deranged our society will become. Everyone goes insane when left to themselves and group dynamics are no different. Whatever group of people you revere as 'good' the most, need to go through trials of their character by opposing voices or your favorite group is just getting more and more deranged over time. This is precisely why freedom of speech is so important, because wielding the power of 'who' can talk is far too powerful and far too easily abused.
> You read it as making him sound like a union abolitionist, I did not.

Of course not. Because you know the context and have made your own decision to excuse his slave holding and treason when deciding whether he should be celebrated with giant statues. Which is your call to make, I guess.

But the point is that not everyone knows that context. And for those who don't, this advertisement, which is designed to affect public policy, is prima facie misleading because it presents two facts that are (at best) subjects of controversy.

You'd never allow this about other stuff you care about. Imagine a Facebook story with "The constitution gives you no right to own an assault rifle". Equally true, by your standards. Not really acceptable though, right?

> In this instance, one group clearly wants to paint Lee as a moral man trying to navigate the political and economic realities of the antebellum south. Another group clearly wants to paint a picture of Lee as a symbol of southern racism and oppression. These are interpretations of history.

And Facebook wasn't labeling considered interpretations. It was labeling something that looked like a fact. I don't think it's so heavy a burden for those who want to write a defense of Lee not to engage in the kind of spin in that story, is it?

I can use that and make it apply to just about anything by answering those questions differently. That's why it's utterly arbitrary.

I've read your authors - they use superficial theoretical chalkboard constructed non-realities to scaffold up their taxonomies. It's not real.

That's why this style of libertarianism has exactly zero agreed upon historical examples. Because they aren't describing reality. Their supposedly "concrete" definitions conveniently move and morph based on the context.

The liberals look at europe and say "yeah, that's pretty much what we mean"

The socialists look at cuba, ussr, and china and say "well, ok, we want things to be less brutal, but ok, yes this matches our definition (shameface)"

The anarchist look at the paris commune of 1871, the Seattle general strike of 1919, occupy wall street, etc and say "yes, this is what we mean".

The (honest) conservatives look at the middle east and turkey and say "yes, this is what we want, only with a different religion and more equality of opportunity"

But the libertarians are just there with their chalkboard because there is no agreed reality that undergirds it. The largest consensus I've found is Friedman's "The Miracle of Chile", which took place under a literal dictatorship, but because their terms are arbitrarily defined, this isn't actually a problem. A military police state that seized people in their sleep and rolled tanks through the street somehow gets shoe-horned into the examples section ... that's how free-floating the categories are.

There's a different form of libertarianism that doesn't have such issues: "When a choice need be made, always tend towards individual freedom". This one, although not free from issues, can't fall victim to the deck-stacking category dance and purely arbitrary construction of the force/monopoly/government style.

The traffic in the Greater Bay Area is so bad, the effect of chokepoints so profound, and the geographic concentration of jobs is so strong, that the Park-and-Ride model actually works there, and isn't just wishful thinking. This means that the exact placement of stations in the exurbs is much less relevant.

The viability of P+R makes the Benicia station worthwhile to pursue, despite the challenging site. It's clear that transit-oriented development won't happen there, but in terms of transportation geography, it's a chokepoint at the Solano side of one of the few crossings of the Strait.

The newly-opened Travis station is as close to the base as they could've cheaply made it, being completely greenfield and not clashing with any existing land use. If the base really wanted to, they could arrange a traffic-avoiding shuttle between the station and the base, through a new, dedicated northwest gate. But it's worth remembering that any threat Travis makes about encroachment is likely tough talk to keep the neighboring towns from getting too clever, because Travis encroaches just as well on itself: half of the base is housing, there's elementary schools...

I admire the author's passion: I'm the same way, poring over GIS and aerial photos, reading draft plans, EIS documents, and public comments. But the author perhaps overestimates the county's appetite for well-placed rail stations next to which a higher density of construction becomes worthwhile. Just look at the Suisun-Fairfield station, which is nearly as well-placed as the one in Davis. If a midrange suburban hotel, a two-story office building, some offramps, and some underutilized public space the most the two cities can offer for this key gateway, what hope is there for a site where Vacaville's sprawl gives way to farms on its eastern edge?
Obviously he misled people.

His firm can deploy cloud native soft infrastructure and data centers for 5G but not the hardware. And here too they are any special as Rukuten already does it.

They still have the license technology from the vendors even if they manufacture it on their own.

And why will vendor license it to them, and if they'll have to - they'll do so at the same profit margin which they'd make from direct selling of the hardware.

Where are 5g hardware patents which Jio owns?

I agree that SSC being separate from his psychiatry is pretty important. I like SSC, and at the same time I would find it difficult to go to therapy knowing Scott is behind SSC. It would cause me to fixate on obsessional traits in myself, knowing that he is predisposed to the same thing.

Basic rule: if you're paying for a doctorate (aside from a professional degree, like an MD or JD), it's a bad idea.
Speaking from my perspective as a prolific FAANG interviewer: Listing whatever experience you can (high-school jobs, sites created for friends, college jobs) alongside interesting personal projects is a huge leg up for getting through recruiting. If you're early in your career, find a few small-time jobs somewhere in tech that'll hire you, and learn as much as you can as fast as you can. MSPs are desperate for people with a little coding background. They'll chew you up and spit you out with long hours and terrible pay, but they're a great place to cut your teeth on getting things done.

Once a candidate gets to me as an interviewer, I'm mostly looking at a resume for what topics I should ask about, both things that you're comfortable in, and things that you're not. If you have personal projects, I'll ask pertinent questions about them, and often I've learned some very interesting insights from the personal projects of candidates.

In my time interviewing, I've hired people without degrees as senior engineers and I've rejected people with doctorates in computer science as junior support engineers. Turns out, degrees are a mediocre predictor at best of ability to do a job, and practical experience is 99% of the time more impactful than a piece of paper.
Many IDEs, IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code among them, also have plugins for "Rainbow brackets" (the ability to use different colours for different pairs of open and close brackets). WebStorm takes this a step farther and clearly highlights open and close tags in HTML, etc., if I recall correctly.

Yes, being able to specify a user stylesheet was common in early browsers. Now there are extensions to provide a GUI and to manage different styles for different domains.

It was always somewhat difficult to maintain custom styles beyond things browsers still let you set like fonts but it’s harder now because it’s so common for developers to not use appropriate semantic HTML.
