I agree that increased integration and dominance can lead to higher prices (as you mention with cable), but is this a "traditional" rental?

I was under the impression that it was intended to make up for the fact that many theaters are closed or people don't want to go out to them. Pricing is more in line with a set of first run movie tickets for an adult and a couple of kids or a pay-per-view event.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it's also a way to gauge what people are willing to pay for new, high profile Disney material via streaming services and might signal similar high-cost rentals in the future. How much would people pay to watch (for example) the next season of "Mandalorian" a month before it shows up in the normal Disney+ listing?
The book may also be a profitable investment: its theology and geometry has helped a destitute intellectual with an incisive worldview, a seer and philosopher cast into a hostile century by forces beyond her control, to make payroll.

It’s a mix of known terms and newly invented ones. Obscure cultural references are popular, whether recent or not. My favorite... Jecklls = trousers. Reasoning thusly:

Jeckll from Jeckll and Hyde. Hyde rhymes with stride. Stride is Australian slang for trousers.

I would counter that proximity to work is a huge influence on where people decide to live. There are (or will be) bars and restaurants everywhere, which means if you can work from home, there is significantly less incentive to live in a small, overpriced apartment.
The above comment was intended to answer exactly that: because it is much less maintenance in the long run.

Had you deployed an application to a proprietary cloud platform ten years ago, a handful of those services would have had their APIs changed or even been sunset by now.
Imagine you are a cop enforcing speed limits. Multiple cars pass by, all speeding, one of them is red. Which car will grab your eye's attention first?
I wonder at what point integrators' target market becomes too broad. Both Disney and Netflix have this problem: some of their content appeals to me, maybe enough for me to purchase a subscription to the platform, but a lot of it doesn't. People who sign up for free trials to access one show aside, this will lead to a point where multiple integrators (let's say streaming services to continue the example) each have one or two offerings I'm interested in but each is asking a $5-10 a month fee for it.

The decision then becomes whether I'm willing to pay $5-10 for one or two shows (and not for everything a service offers, since their offering has become too broad) or whether I will choose to not watch at all/pirate.
Actually not, if you fake it you don't want to do that because then people (including high
ranking people) will start asking you for demos and it will become impossible to keep the secret.

If this is the case it is way better do like they do today and selectively leak stuff and then let everyone, friends and enemys, fill out the blanks :-)

Another way to think of a distributed system is as a threaded application on a multi-core CPU. Break down the interactions within the application by all the logical boundaries and you have a basic distributed system. Typically the input and output are via a single controlled mechanism and state is handled in a single place in memory during the series of events for a particular operation, so consistency is just assumed. But give all the series of events their own state, and each event a different input and output in random ordering, and you have distributed system problems. Threaded apps have similar problems to solve and have their own mechanisms to deal with these problems, so you can compare them and see how multiple mechanisms may be needed to compute safely.
"I am skeptical. Yes a lot of Bay Area companies are allowing work from home for now, but are people really weighing that so heavily that they’re moving?"

It is the marginal buyer, not the entire population, that swings the price. It's the last few properties for sale that swing the price.

Someone downthread explained it very nicely:

"Rent is like a traffic jam. The market collapses on the margin. You don't need to remove 30% of the cars to reduce freeway congestion by 30%, and you don't need to remove 30% of the residents to lower asking rents by 30%, either."
I've taken it. It does talk about trade offs like when you want to use a relational or nonrelational db, various strategies when it comes to caching, scaling, etc. Sometimes it will talk about specific tech like memcache but I don't recall too many mentions about the direct techs listed in the OP.

It's very useful for preparing for interviews that ask, "How would you recreate dropbox?" or "how would you recreate instagram." You know... system design interviews.

I think it's well worth a purchase, only if you can afford it. I feel like the other resources people posted in the thread are better but if you need structured content it's very well done.

Even those will tend to bear more fruit when cross pollinated, and considering how common apples and crabapples are across the US, you granny Smith or golden delicious tree is still likely to get cross pollinated by a local decorative flowering crabapple. But yeah, I guess if you grew out golden delicious in a protected greenhouse and stabilized the variety over a few generations, you might have a true from seed apple variety at the end of it
My understanding is that many scientists have concluded that animal->human adaptation occurred prior to the Wuhan wet market, and the market is basically a red herring. This is based on the relatively low degree of genetic drift that has occurred with SARS-Cov-2 since that time, which indicates that the substantial changes related to human adaptation are likely to have occurred prior to those wet market infections. There are better articles, but here's one [1].

I want to learn how to find a job that allows me to become an expert and has realistic expectations.

They all ask for the world. I'm expected to be an expert in multiple languages and become an expert in a new stack in months, all without training and while switching back and forth between tech. If you want me to become a Python expert, then give me a steady diet of Python work. I don't see any path forward and I'm tired of being treated like I'm disposable.
Well. I have mixed feelings. Emotionally I feel the fact that (big) cooperations can own seed varieties (nearly like with patents) to be quite literally something that makes me boil.

In general I do not like the fact, that it is easy for others to claim something that replicates itself as "their own"/"their property".

On the other hand I saw a small tomato grower who developed and breed their own tomato varieties being ripped of by a bigger player, because they just couldn't afford to register a variety they painstakingly developed over years. The bigger player came, bought their seeds, grew the plants and two years later registered this variety as their own under a very, very similar name forgoing the necessity to develop the variety themselves. At least they did not push the other. smaller player out of the market - but they could have probably.

I would love a system that enables some kind of (short- to mid-term) protection for the development effort of new varieties. But I also feel it is a right of the people to grow from their own seedlings. Something that even hybrid varieties do not offer.

It is a difficult topic without quick and easy answers I fear.

But for me - we buy heirloom seeds mostly locally/regionally, grow them, keep our own seeds every year and regrow from that. We also share with other hobbyists.
> I'm not comfortable legally enforcing that preference.

But licenses are not only for legal purpose, they also serve to communicate the authors preference for the prospective users. Of course you can communicate it otherwise, but using a common license is generally pretty easy way of doing it. But I think it is really important that the preference is communicated in some sufficiently clear and explicit manner.

I suspect two things:

1) Apple will have a problem with this. They generally don’t care about small-scale things like hackintosh, but this is a bit different. Selling a device to automagically hack a key logger into a modern Mac goes over their ‘line in the sand’, I’d expect. Openly selling it is ... brave, IMHO.

2) I can see some further work on their part to beef up the security over usb-pd. Perhaps the first thing is, as the article suggests, to force external attention from the user (hold down both shift keys...) but ultimately I could see it going to challenge/response and sha256 keys or similar.
> The title would be better written as:
> "San Francisco Apartment Rents Crater, up to 31%"

No, it wouldn't. The comma makes the “up to” phrase bizarre and detached, and does nothing to improve things. It would only make sense if it was trying to say the rents both “cratered” and somehow went up (though what the % would be measured against in that case is hard to understand.)

As a sentence, it would read better with a “by” after crater, though it would be even better (and be a more accurate title) if it dropped the “up to” and just gave a single measure of the drop rather than one end of a range. “Up to” is a clickbait term that always obscured rather than clarifies.

While I don't want to live in a super urban place like SF, I will always live near a downtown. The draw for me is that I hate depending on cars, so I want everything (mail/barber/grocery/work/restaurants/etc) within walking distance.

The lifestyle advantage to walking around as your primary source of commute is so significant that I couldn't imagine ever going back.
SF regular rent was like renting in New York's Tribeca. So I guess it went from "not feasible" to "still insane".
This isn't persistent, right? At least on iPhones, checkra1n needs to run every boot to keep the device jailbroken. So if you saw the machine boot with nothing plugged in, you can trust it.
> None of that requires OS maintenance. My house plants require far more maintenance than my software. I sometimes forget where some things run because I haven't touched them in years.

Then how do you know they are still secure and even working?

Yes, deploying servers is very easy, maintaining and securing them is the hard part. Sure, you can automate the updates and it will work with a good OS-Distribution for some years. But no system is perfect, exploits are everywhere, even in your own configuration. And then it becomes tricky to protect your data.
This seems to conflate predictability with determinism.

The value of stock options hews very close to what Black-Scholes theory would assume. There's one loose bone: volatility. But reasonable estimates of volatility are close enough for any real applications of derivatives (i.e. hedging, not speculation).

The uncovered parity equation of exchange rates has one loose bone: sovereign risk premia. If Cristina Kirschner dies and her successor starts privatizing foreign-owned capital assets, well, there goes the model. And to a smaller extent this is happening all the time. But if you had to take a decision on how local interest rates affect exchange rates, this is an excellent guide.

If anything, economics is insufficiently mathematical in the treatment of what it can't determine. It's a reasonable mean field theory but should be more Bayesian about what it takes as assumption (markets will open tomorrow -- fruit and stock alike...). The assumptions are mostly fine but we should, as a general public, have a clearer picture of how fine.

Then, how well is epidemiology doing this? 99% confidence intervals from March Covid models should encompass the possibility that there's almost no fomite transmission but the virus remains alive in airborne aerosols for longer distances and time. We might all have gone the Swede route, where true agglomerations were instantly shut down, or at least prevented having the WHO and the Surgeon General telling us not to wear masks.
yep - rent is the quintessential example of inelastic supply. A tiny shortage of housing can cause a huge jump in price.

Best Resources to learn Rust Programming in 2020
This is a trade magazine for people who assemble systems from components. So they put a router in a box, or whatever, and need a power supply and amplifier and connectors to the outside world. The finished system needs to pass compliance testing, but they can't modify the parts they've selected - all they can do is fix the cabling and do things to the outside of the purchased components.

It's kind of like EMI/EMC testing of hardware you have designed yourself; it's usually much cheaper to apply a bandaid fix (add ferrite cores, shield that cable better, terminate here not there, etc.) and add to a punch list for rev 2, than to go back to the drawing board and change the board/die/whatever.

Of course if you can plan for this during design, you (and your boss/bottom line!) will be a lot happier.
For me mentally, it makes more sense that all windows of the same application are grouped. In your example, when I want to focus the PDF file, I first look for the icon of my PDF viewer and I don't want there to be three icons; I want just one icon and if I (right)click it get a list in which I see the window titles.
I would say the city being “closed” is the major driver. Among my group of ~40 coworkers, about 30 (including me) have left the city. As far as I know all but one were renting.

Everyone who left gave the following rationale:

- we can work remotely so move wherever or nomad now

- SF is not very fun during the pandemic

- WFH in my tiny apartment is much less enjoyable than when I was working in the office and didn’t spend much time in the apartment

- therefore I’m moving for a year or so until things fully reopen

Now I think the question is what does the eventual full reopening look like and how long does it take?

Many people will move back, because many office jobs will return, and many people love city life and the office work environment (including me).

But the longer things take, the more people get established elsewhere, and the more companies decide to make remote permanent and don’t reopen an office, the more I think this market reset in SF will be long-lasting.

As other posters have said it’s a welcome relief though. Prices are still very high, and new construction remains far from sufficient to keep up with demand.

Yes, you must always know your language, but mastering (for example) Go is a lot easier than getting a cursory understanding of C++ (i.e., enough to write correct code for non-toy applications). You can get a cursory understanding of Go in a few hours and you can master it in 1-2 months. It would be months and years in C++, respectively. C++ is just a much larger, more complex language, so there is a lot more to know. It's not that C++ is inherently bad--some of that complexity allows C++ to be faster and more powerful than Go; however, we can't pretend that the two are equivalent with respect to their ease of learning or number of footguns.

Because Kautilya’s work is very good for its time, is still based on Jati (caste) and Varna (class) system and the feudal ownership of land and urban planning was based on this system and prohibit a movement of person from one Varna or Jati to other. So if one looks at this text they need to know the prevailing conditions of that time. Probably read the Arthshstra and will get an idea what I am talking about [1].

“In Kautilya’s India, religion was ubiquitous and invasive. An elaborate form of Hinduism, unlike the one practiced currently, formed the basis of people’s identity in the socioeconomic sphere, and also in matters of life and death. The class system (varnas) and the caste system (jatis) got entrenched in people’s private and public lives around Kautilya’s time. To this end, Hindu principles were supposed to be a broad framework of guidelines and morals that were meant to provide directions to individual lives, particularly for the attainment of moksha, or self-liberation, through knowledge (gyana-yoga), devotion (bhakti-yoga), and duty (karma-yoga/dharma). However, they became overly prescriptive in nature, controlling every detail of an individual’s life, such as their education, social standing, professional/occupational qualifications, and economic status.

The varna system divided Hindu society into four classes: Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (mercantile/trade class) and Shudras (slaves, lowest order workers). An individual’s placement in the varna system defined their education, social and economic status, and also their choice of work. The system was codified in such a manner so as to not facilitate any form of mobility, either upward or downward. In short, this hierarchical system, with the priests occupying the highest rung on the social ladder and the slaves occupying the lowest rung, was also hereditary. The scylla and charybdis of hierarchy and hereditary stagnated the class system, paving the way for rulers to partake of the system’s in-built oppression in order to facilitate submission and smooth rule. Furthermore, the jatis, or subcastes, that were based on a greater specialization of labor, solidified the varna-imposed hierarchy system to an even greater extent.”

Google bought YouTube in 2006 which was ~1 year after it spawned.

The _idea_ of being social on the internet then -- apart from forums et al -- was very new. I was using YouTube as an 11 year old and all that was really being posted were cat videos, blogs, Fred, and these kind of low-budget home videos. People were still figuring things out. It was an exciting time because it was a new thing; but _precisely_ because it was a new thing that's what was exciting.

The content on YouTube now is orders of magnitude more diverse than then and still includes the stuff of yonder. Let's leave hyperbole out of it.
