Blokable is promoting itself as providing affordable housing but their buildings largely consist of market rate housing units and a percentage of affordable housing units that are compulsory -- not an act of altruism. Large cities already have requirements, or are actively developing requirements, for developing affordable housing along with market rate housing. Market rate tenants subsidize affordable housing tenants. Cities use lottery systems for the affordable housing units to prevent political insider housing opportunities, but those lottery systems aren't being audited by trusted third parties. :)

Putting the PR spin aside, the company is doing phenomenally well with execution and development across many silos. I respect the hard work.
A long time ago I settled on FST and RST as the Right Names for the two halves of a cons cell. The argument is:

1. It's vaguely mnemonic of FirST and ReST, but compactified enough that it's still parseable as abstract names with no particular semantics

2. It's composable the same way that CAR and CDR are, e.g. FFRST == CAADR.

Another good pair of names is LHS and RHS for Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side. Same argument applies.
Goes to show that nobody is beyond prejudice. Even Gandhi needed to evolve his views to understand his fellow humans, so it would be dangerous to assume things like "racism in America is past" or "diversity training is useless". We all need to work on this stuff.

And in a year or two I expect that clause will be found to be unreasonable by the ACCC (Australian consumer protection body) and Nintendo will end up getting fined for it.

Their website says that it uses USB-C for charging and the charging port accepts stock USB-C cables, it's not even remotely reasonable to bury within the warranty a statement which says "oh, by the way the device cannot accept USB-C cables -- if you use a made-to-spec cable that fits in the port, no warranty for you!".
> I think the implied context there is "when farmed by humans", no?

They specifically state "naturally" as in "all soil loses its fertility naturally over time" they are clearly implying that its inevitable and unavoidable rather than man made.

> The article doesn't even mention CO2, so you're reading things into it that it just doesn't say as far as I can tell.

From the article I quoted

> people burned unrefined solid fuels in their homes—wood, coal, even dung

Burning these things releases CO2 into the air, I have to assume that you knew that I don't really know what your point is here when you where so happy to imply the exact opposite of what the author wrote.

> The reason we end up with monocultures is to increase yield per soil area and yield per labor input.

Different plants need different nutrients from the soil planting a monoculture creates massive competition for the same nutrients and subsequent nutrient depletion this is why you do crop rotation even with conventional tilling monocultures.

Other nutrients the plants don't need remain in the soil and provide a feast for weed plants. You can easily stop this pest problem by understanding what nutrients your different plants need and then planting mixes appropriately. It's all about soil biology.

The only reason we do monocultures is for labour input, could you imagine the amount of work trying to harvest different plants that are all mixed up? not a job for humans.

> If you have specific suggested reading showing otherwise, I would love a reference.

As you pointed out agriculture has been trying to improve fertility in soil for thousands of years and thanks to modern science we have more understanding of how soil biology works and how our old tilling practicies destroy that.

Specifically search "Soil Biology" its a science, with lots of smart people that know more about soil fertility than you or me so I just take their word for it.

For a more laymans understanding of soil biology and how our conventional tilling and monocultures destroy soil biology read the plowmans folly.

I also talked about natural systems which is the same idea as Natural farming, specifically you should read the one straw revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka.

Plants and nature are more productive when left alone from human intervention in cycles of death and rebirth and natural farming is about setting up these cycles in a system that benefits us rather than just wild.

In contrast to the monoculture the author is advocating for where we till the soil killing the soil biology and then artificially try to create the right habitat with synthetic fertilizer and pesticide.

I actually disagree with this headline.

It depends on the type of work. For example, learning 2+2=4, would be difficult to figure out on your own. Learning how to install plumbing into a building....umm...no.

For certain fundamental concepts, this is not the way to learn. It might be the way to internalize ideas but not have the correct framework for a given task.

As one becomes a highly skilled worker, creativity becomes paramount and it's through experimentation that one, whom has mastery, can decide what solution works best or not. This can't be taught in an explicit education but through a level of competence.

Maybe the article qualifies this but...I suspect not in a clear way (click bait and...laziness).

I agree and I feel it's due to the Paradox of Choice.

It's corporate erasure (a form of violence) when people aren't able to be their authentic selves at work—something that includes, obviously, being able to speak up about basic human rights and dignities in the workplace.

Maybe we should roll back anti-discrimination laws in the workplace too? I'm sure CEOs find that to be a hassle…

Perhaps every company can offer severance packages to workers who don't want their rights taken away? Don't like the 40 hours work week? Here's a severance package. The rest of you are now required to work 60 hours. Etc. etc. etc.

This kind of behavior is a textbook example of how rights in practice are eroded.

To downvoters: in the past, the LGBT community was asked to "hide" their identity at work, literally, by pretending to be cis at work. This isn't any different.

Imagine offering a severance package to all LGBT individuals today. If that would horrify you, think again about what Coinbase is doing (and why).

It really is. That's kind of my point. When I was starting I spent a lot of time and effort to make a design with all through-hole components because I perceived that surface mount was difficult. The design suffered massively from that compromise, it was still a pain to assemble, and when I actually tried surface mount later I felt completely cheated. Soldering a large pitch SMD micro is actually quicker and easier than soldering a DIP, even with crap equipment (though it's always more difficult with crap equipment).

Look a little deeper. They're creating smart multifamily rentals at market rates but including a few affordable units in each building. The affordable units are not an act of altruism but a regulatory requirement. You can't bring new multifamily to market without adding affordable units as well.

Well I think the idea is that you are simply exposing your identity to a different entity, not another one, since your identity isn't passed down the chain.

Given that it's (probably?) impossible to use cellular internet without handing over your ID to at least one entity, the target audience of this plan is probably one that would prefer that entity to be one for which privacy is a primary concern.

I'm very heartened by the quantity--and quality of responses addressing the original post. When I launched my new company, 70 Million Jobs, on Hacker News, it emerged as one of the platform's most commented-upon posts.

In the intervening three years since, my team and I have served on the front lines of the efforts to help the 70 million Americans--1 in 3 adults--with a record land a job.

First, the facts: there's a ~75% chance that after release from jail or prison, an individual will be rearrested. Nearly all of these people will be unemployed at time of arrest.

Contrariwise, those that do manage to land a job almost never recidivate, and in fact, go on to lead satisfying, productive lives.

Perhaps counter-intuitively, these folks do incredibly well on the job: a SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) report found that 80% of hiring managers believe that when hiring someone with a record, "the quality of hire is as good as if not better than when hiring someone with no record."

While many companies hang on to age-old myths relating to on-the-job behavior of this population (they'll be trouble makers, they'll commit crimes on the job, they'll be violent, they'll disrupt our workforce), the data suggest the very opposite. In fact, because they generally have so few opportunities, they tend to work harder with a better attitude than co-workers, because they know another job is not necessarily available.

I continue to find it shocking that companies that pride themselves on making data-driven decisions have in place hiring matrices that hearken back to another time when attitudes--and crimes--were very different. Most HR professionals have no idea why existing parameters are what they are.

It behooves us as a society to rethink our approach to criminal justice in general and reentry, specifically:

1. Almost everyone incarcerated will be released eventually. If they can't find a reasonable job, they can't buy food, care for their families and put a roof over their heads. What would you do under such circumstances.
2. The economic cost of reincarceration is estimated at more that $100 billion annually.
3. The social cost of recidivism is inestimable: lives are ruined, families are torn apart, communities are decimated, new victims are created, cops are shot, etc.
4. An intelligent plan to get folks working would directly correlate to reduced recidivism. The net cost would drop dramatically enough so as to fund the homeless crisis.

People with sophisticated skills--live programmers--have it much easier than the rank-in-file incarcerated population, who often have little education and less job experience.

Rarely are important social issues so cut and dry: Get people jobs and things get much better. Rarer still are issues that Republicans and Democrats can agree upon.

This is an imminently fixable problem.

I agree that we need to work on the frontend problems that are driving so much crime and that we should prefer to be rehabilitative instead of punitive in our approach to crime; however, it's not obvious to me how being punitive dissuades us from addressing inputs--could you elaborate?

(note that I'm a different 'throwaway' than the OP)
I very honestly have less problem with murder then something like past harassment. Like, unless it was not random burst of violence, that must won't happen to me or someone I know. So that person generally working is lowering chance of recidivism for little cost to me.
Nowadays systemd prefixes all the arguments it reads from /proc/cmdline. This is the correct approach, the kernel owns it's own cmdline, and if other components want to use it they should namespace themselves.

A lot comments are misunderstanding this article. This person is not complaining about differences in programming syntax across languages at all. He is making a very specific complaint about how PL Notation (i.e metasyntax not syntax) in academic literature isn't standardized. This has nothing to do with the vagaries of Perl vs Lisp and everything to do with how PL white papers are written.

There is no such thing as actual freedom. You exercising your "freedom" almost always means imposing upon someone else's. In your example wouldn't someone having to provide a service to a LGBTQ person even though it is against their religious beliefs be a violation of their freedom of religion just as much as refusing to provide them service would be a violation of the LGBTQ person's freedom?

"Freedom" is used a lot when politics comes up not because it is a way to justify political positions but because politics is to a great degree the arguing of whose freedoms trumps another's under what circumstances.
Twilio Signal Notes Day 2 (Obama, Trevor Noah and Tech Talks)
As an African-American it was actually useful to watch some of these colorized videos and get a better since for how African-Americans integrated into the society at that time.

Having it in color with sound made the video seem much more real and relatable.

For me this just ads another facet to develop a better-rounded grasp of the era.

Inserting the extra frames seems to slow the footage down and allow more time for digestion.

I find it often difficult to track what's going on in old videos because of the off-speed of the recordings.

But for the historians who spend a lot of time with these artifacts, I'm sure this feels like a bastardization of history.

But as a lay person, it makes me want to devour more of these videos to get a fascinating and easier-to-digest look at life back in those times.

Btw, this is the video I watched: https://youtu.be/hZ1OgQL9_Cw

Yes they did. It was Arthur C. Clarke's "The Star"[0]. And it was "The Twilight Zone" (1980s version).

The story was in the "The Nine Billion Names of God" collection[1]. The title story is also interesting in its religious focus.
