There are enough differences that could cause issues in form recognition, particularly with things like addresses, that it makes sense to separate the two for testing.
If you live in a touristic city, it's not the main reason, no... But even if it were, how's that supposed to be an argument in favor of AirBnB?

Of course residents want tourists and visitors to stay in hotels or serviced apartments, and the city to collect taxes.
They get around 25% of their revenue from Europe so they are willing to give that up for what?!
If you mean "most" as in more than 50% then you are probably correct, but there are a ton of Apple engineering roles across the world. When I was at Apple I worked as an engineer in two different continents and both offices were always growing. For example, I know Singapore has been growing steadily the past few years (https://www.apple.com/jobs/sg/). Where are you not seeing engineering positions?

The Elusive Peril of Space Junk
This is probably a reflection of the recent Cisco scumbaggery committed by two castist idiots that discriminated a fellow employee who was allegedly reporting to them.

On the other hand, as an Indian myself, I've seen some really backward idiots spread all over America that try to reinforce the notion of caste and propagate that idea to others. Most of them are really uncivilized with narrow and closed minds.
I know for one that the idea of "caste" makes no sense, at least not anymore.
In India there is still a lot of mess and trouble that happens because of it, which only pulls the country back in terms of development, but when people, after setting foot in America which is a much forward country still do not get enlightened, it is beyond me.

I personally have taken a pledge to
spread the word against "caste" and
Caste discrimination here. I was able to change a few minds among my friends which I'm happy about. To anyone reading this, please enlighten yourself and help others.
Do you have an alternative book (or list of) which you'd recommend instead?
What recommendations show up. Someone needs to read the articles in order to recommend them, don't they? It'd be better if this someone is someone local who has the context.

Edit: The heck, I haven't read carefully the OP. Thought that the question is about Pocket.
In other words, it's an AirTable clone.
Sure, why would it not be possible. Intellij and Eclipse also implement all their language support in plugins so why wouldn't VSCode.

But the thing is this is all hypothetical - it is possible if somebody invests those thousands of hours into it. But so far it did not happen for most languages and Intellij IDEs are still vastly superior to VSCode for e.g. Java, Python or C++ development.
Usually you don't have to worry if the house next door is going to get torn down and a hotel raised in its place.

I can't imagine what additional features the overwhelming majority of people need out of a word processor or spreadsheet software.
I agree with many of your takes, but I do think reading a book like a novel can give you even more than a vague memory.

I think there is a lot more "dark memory" that can be triggered by conversation or the right context.

I also think we translate a lot of the information we read so it integrates with our own understanding or context. For example, I think I better understand why the US responded to COVID like it did after reading US political history from 1970-2020.

Basically, I think humans are very good at detecting, remembering, and applying patterns for our own purposes, and books introduce us to patterns.
afaik multi account containers should work, if you set google as "always open in google container". temporary containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...) would also work.
Building a new campus on the site of an existing tech company campus in the same city you're already located doesn't seem like a particularly risky experiment even if it cost a bunch of money.
Based on publicly available stories, Palantir doesn't actually gather data on its own: they are purely an analysis platform for data that their customers already have (or have separate contracts to buy). It sounds like their secret sauce is somewhere in the ETL/dataviz/ML space. That makes them fundamentally weaker than Facebook, because Facebook collects and owns the data.
The answer is clearly yes. Being able to convert apartments to short term rentals for tourists while bypassing the whole legislation in place does reduce housing availability. For example, you are supposed to build an apartment equivalent to the one you are converting to a tourism rental in a lot of cities in France.
Airbnb does not enforce that and was a way for dodgy companies to bypass the law.

This won't force affordable housing issues which are a much bigger problem, but airbnb did create a gray market area and it does make sense to regulate it.
Do you know about the Temporary Containers addon? While it has some quirks, it seems to do exactly what you described, automatically and quite intuitively. I'm a happy user for two years now I think.
For a period I was a digital nomad and stayed in a few cities for ~1 month each. Airbnb allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local neighborhoods and get a real feel for the places. If I had to stay in a hotel for that same period I probably would have chosen a different destination.

Paris was not one of the places we stayed though.
I wonder if this argument holds less weight now that people in blocks of flats in some metropolises have less interest in interacting with their neighbours than decades ago -- in Helsinki for instance it is a faux pas to speak to one's neighbours, and some even claim that politeness demands you check through the peephole that the hallway is empty before going out, so you don't bump into a neighbour and make him/her uncomfortable. Plus, there must be a greater turnover of tenants these days due to study and job mobility, so why bother trying to build relationships.

Even if the new ones weren't so repair-unfriendly, aftermarket replacement parts are almost impossible to get for a reasonable price.

I never had a single whiteboard interview in my life, so I can't give you advice on how to get better at them, sorry.

Back in university, I had a "Design and Analysis of Algorithms" course, and one of the first (toy) exercises was to implement a queue using other data structures. This solution with two stacks was what I came up with. That's 12 years ago now, good times :-)

What makes you decide you want to surprise the desire to eat the donut? Is that free will or was that impulse also determined from other stimulus such as body shaming, underlying health problems or financial hardship preventing one from impulse buying?

I do think if you unravel how every decision is made and the origins behind those opinions then you ultimately end up with every reaction being a result of either biology or circumstance.
It's an interesting post, and I'll have to have a look at his "Quantum Country" to see if his ideas work in practice.

However, it seems one-sided: He only talks about the difficulties with reading, ignoring the difficulties with writing.

He also thinks of reading a book as a one-off activity. But in reality, one of the things we learn from reading books is how to read books - we ideally get better over time at the "metacognition" skills that he notes are needed to absorb information from books.

If we look at scientific communication in particular (I know, not what most people are reading for...) these two points interact. Researchers typically try to communicate their findings in the "author describes an idea in words on the page" format because that's the easiest way to do it. Researchers also learn how to absorb information presented in this fashion by other researchers. By definition, research ideas have not been worked over for many years by people skilled at presenting them in an easily-absorbed form. And in any case, it would be rare for the researchers to be particularly skilled at sophisticated methods of presentation. (We hope they do get better at this with time, but they will all have had more practice at reading than at writing, so it makes sense that the joint enterprise of communication will rely more on skilled reading than on skilled writing.)

One might wonder in light of this whether the trend in K-12 education away from the traditional lecture / textbook forms is short-sighted. Once students are out of K-12 (going into higher-level academia, or business, or the military, or whatever), lack of practice at reading traditional material may be a problem.
I think there's some subtleties that are taken for granted with a face-to-face conversation that simply become awkward when engaging in a remote conversion with latency.

With face-to-face I can avoid a majority of the interruptions because I can notice a slight change of a facial expression, e.g. a mouth slightly opening, eyes lighting up, that alludes to them beginning to speak.

But with a remote conversation, that noticing of expression suffers from the same latency issues as audio, so I'm reading the emotional cue way too late.
This looks very similar to Notion (https://www.notion.so/).

The one big difference being that I believe Notion will outlive Tables - especially as Tables is already touted as an incubated project.
"Cookie AutoDelete"[1] extension might be what you want. It flushes cookies after you close all tabs for a site. There's an allowlist of sites for which to retain cookies.

It's nice when paired with the "I don't care about cookies"[2] extension which auto-accepts cookie requests and makes sure you never see any cookie permission dialogs.

That said, I don't mind to refute the larger point. In fact, I would make Puerto Rico independent in conjunction with recognizing Taiwan.

I'm inclined to agree with you on Docs though, there is a bunch of stuff that Notion does (really badly IMO) that Drive/Docs just can't do, and so people use Notion instead.

For example (in case any Google PMs are reading), folding bullets, easily embedding tables, embedding sub-docs, faster navigation/caching of folders in the web browser, and perhaps most important, a sensible way to build a wiki-type knowledge base, with "front pages" on each directory (like how Github handles README.md).
This is the exact reason I moved out. Why would I migrate to foreign land if I feel there would be equal opportunity in India.
You might want to read from the source file line oriented until you find the start position of the first line to copy. Then copy from the end as described in large chunks (I would do 16Mb chunks assuming ram is sufficient).

The sparse file suggestion a sibling made is really great. Otherwise, you could reverse the chunks as you write them, and end up with a fully reversed file, or just have to be careful about block boundaries and know that contents are forward, but blocks are backward. I wouldn't want to bulk read a 700g file with line processing, if it's possible to ignore that.
They are unrelated. You can have bigots both with autoplaying midis and without autoplaying midis.
Microsoft Challenges Twilio with the Launch of Azure Communication Services
To add to what I said yesterday, focusing on this question:

> Is there any way in which doing so via "dynamic scoping" makes it any less of a horrible idea?

In both types of languages it's a horrible thing to set a global variable, because the modification is visible to all code that runs later. If you want to know what value a global variable would have in a function, you'd need to be aware of all code that executed before.

In lexically-scoped languages, you can only read or set a variable. If you forbid setting it, you can only read it. In dynamically-scoped languages you can not only read or set a variable, you can also shadow it. Shadowing is not as bad as setting, because the "modification" is scoped to a call. Because of that, it doesn't undergo changes across functions that don't have a caller/callee relationship (e.g. cousin functions in a call-graph), and I believe that's where the real devil in modifying global variables lies, in reading a variable that could have been modified by functions that don't have a clear relationship with the current one.

Having said that, shadowing has its place. It certainly can be misused like any other feature, but I'm just answering why it's less of a horrible idea, as you put it. Though, it certainly has its benefit with no equal. Not even Haskell's Reader typeclass, because of its static-typed nature, offers exactly the same ability to modify the behavior of any callee-descendant function, unforeseen by the author of the function you're calling.

It occurs to me that this is also similar to the ability in OOP to inherit from a class or module and overriding one of its methods, only that the change, instead of being scoped to the callee-descendants, is scoped to the other methods (and their callers) that use the overriden method.
Pertinent John Doe line 'When John Doe indicated to Cisco's human resources team that he wanted to file a complaint, he was allegedly told by the department that "caste discrimination was not unlawful".'

Pertinent Cisco line 'We have robust processes to report and investigate concerns raised by employees which were followed in this case dating back to 2016, and have determined we were fully in compliance with all laws as well as our own policies.'

So, in my reading, Cisco's HR lawyers decided Caste discrimination was legal and easier to let continue than shake the tree under their managers.
The whole point is that it wasn't disruptive and even turned out better.

Also it's not merely an "experiment", we're talking about peoples' lives here. People aren't just fungible resources to be commanded and lorded over like chattel. Workers have been fighting for the freedom to work remotely for decades now, and it's sad that it takes a pandemic for employers to start respecting their employees enough to allow them the basic freedom of not being chained to their open office desks like zoo animals.
What's funny is people acting like this is a joke. It isn't. Adding this to your workflow is asking for a headache in a few years when this gets shut down. Google currently has 5 products that are shutting down between now and the end of 2021. https://killedbygoogle.com/

I don't think this is true. Plenty of "normal", non-HN people bring this up too (I mean, not my mom, but like regular somewhat tech-savvy people). You can point to GCP all you want, but people are just going to keep pointing to https://killedbygoogle.com/.
The definition of conspiracy is just "agreeing to commit a crime in the future". It doesn't matter who initiates a conspiracy.

It looks like the record is fairly clear that Assange and Manning discussed what documents Assange would like access to and Manning agreed to provide them.

If it is criminal for Assange to obtain/receive/disclose the documents in question, then there's prima facie evidence of a conspiracy.

You can argue that the actual act was not criminal, and so the inchoate offense of conspiracy is also impossible, but it's unclear to me why you think the conspiracy charge, in particular, in nonsensical - could you elaborate?
We just went to París (in the time before...) and staying in an Airbnb.

We probably wouldn’t have gone if there’d only been hotels available. We have a child who needs her own room and it’s just such a massive pain figuring that out with a hotel.

Airbnb means we can get her in bed and have an evening together sitting in the lounge and making food in the kitchen without worrying about where in the hotel a baby monitor will reach, or whatever weird things come up after the photos from the hotel room turn out to be completely fictitious as usual.

Just like Uber VS minicabs and Amazon VS other online shops - the reason people like the new thing is mostly because the old thing was TERRIBLE.
I work for US Federal courts, I can assure you html isn’t sufficient over PDF’s for court cases. Evidence are filed in pdfs. Documents (PDFs) need to be a historical archive, and the ability to modify would damage the credibility of those documents.
I don't recommend it as a comprehensive solution because it misses some stuff, such as indexeddb and service workers. For maximum isolation you'd want temporary containers.
> Ubiquity (which we are seeing the concept re-emerge in Google Chrome)

I haven't noticed this, can you explain more?
> They are binary relations,

Thanks for making my point: this API provides _a_ binary relation is IMO useless. There are millions of binary relations that one could implement for a type, and often many that make sense implementing for a particular type, and that this API doesn't support (e.g. there are both strict partial order and total orders for float in the IEEE standard; this API however implements none).

For this to be useful, the docs would at least need to say what can one assume about the partial order implemented by PartialOrd (is it strict? is it non-strict? something else?), and ideally have a solid ordering hierarchy so that APIs and algorithms can pick what makes sense to them, instead of having to assume the lowest-possible denominator imaginable, which results in, e.g., it not making sense to implement ordering for floats in the standard library, even though to be IEEE compliant it would actually need to do that.

The same can be said for old consoles, or old non-smartphones that were also computers, had browsers, even in some cases have CPUs more powerful than contemporary iPhones, but didn't have any way to install apps at all.

There's no law requiring vendors to provide features to install apps on devices with CPUs at all.

You probably own a dozen devices containing CPUs, running software, for which there is no practical way for you to install anything. Apple provides a certain set of features in their devices, if you don't think that's a good deal, there are other vendors you can go to.
I used IntelliJ for almost two years, JS and Java. I hope I never have to use it again. It's laggy, clunky and with a less than intuitive UI. Yes, it is powerful but it doesn't weigh up for its shortcomings.
It already is happening. It will probably take at least 2 years to "return to normalcy" so depending on your definition of brief it's come true.
The funny thing is, I actually really enjoyed java in the early days. Before it went all "enterprisey" with FactoryFactory over-engineering, XML, annotations and all the other crap. I mean, how is that stuff fun?
Which PDF readers contain tracking? Anyway, there are several open-source ones that don't.
Using your devices how you want is reasonable I believe. It's reasonable if someone wants to turn their IoT hub or device into something else. However, an important issue is protecting access to cloud resources. Making sure a stolen hub doesn't give you access to someone's home and appliances remotely.
He just finished building a $5b headquarters. I’m sure that affected his opinion.
I'm sure most companies will be some degree of hybrid and keep their offices. That said, I expect you'll see a lot more flexibility with people coming in just some of the time, probably a lot of hot-desking, and probably less general reliance on always getting together physically.

When I am traveling alone, I seldom care if I stay in an apartment or a hotel. In fact I often lean towards hotels as a single room is just fine and its conveniences convenient.

But when I am with a family, especially coming from a different time zone (when someone will wake in a middle of the night and wants to read for an hour), an apartment makes a huge difference for me. Visit Paris once -- sure, even if I have to stay in a cramped room. Deciding on where to go for a quick weekend side trip with a family -- availability of Airbnb-style lodging may be a deciding factor. My 2c.
