>If you pay for a product you are not entitled to force a price reduction if the efficiencies of the producer improve.

No, you actually should be. If you work in manufacturing and you're any good at your job, you analyze what it actually cost to make a product. If for example, the price of a commodity heavily used in your product bottoms out from a previously very high price, you should make a call to your supplier demanding some kind of price adjustment (either future or retroactively).

SV paid high prices because the explosive growth and geographic constraints made housing prices very high, therefore salaries had to go up to entice people to come. Rising salaries were not based on competition for talent alone.

I get that a lot of companies are posturing that they wont localize pay, but eventually they'll wise up since their talent pool has grown very significantly. Salaries use to go because pool of applicants who were willing to move to SV was a lot smaller. Now that limitation has all but evaporated. These companies aren't stupid, they'll find cost savings just like those people moving to the boonies.

Did your buddy take an 80% salary cut? If that’s the case, I’d guess that he was either extremely well paid before, or he’s got huge savings and could afford to not to work anymore.

That said I work for below market because I value the work and enjoy it. Not sure what kind of bump I’d get but it wouldn’t be a 5x
> three times more male students than female students failed their exam.

That is fascinatingly manipulative way to frame situation in which all female are kicked, at least one having great results and being failed only in the most subjective part of it.

She got better results then him in most objective parts and got kicked in most subjective part. Him failing to solve exercises does not prove she was not discriminated.

Obvious suggestion but not made in snark: uninstall the medium app? I’ve had to do that for lots of poorly developed apps or apps developed not in sync with the web frontend.

Edit: it is a bad link and I can see why this would happen if you had the Medium app installed. It’s a “branded” Medium post (i.e. appears on the Netflix-owned domain) but clicking the link redirects you to medium.com then redirects you back to the cname.

For the south bay it's not 3 months of the year, 100F lasts for like 2-3 weeks at most (actually realistically it's more like 95-100). It's the same for socal. Socal has about 2-3 weeks in the summer where the temps become sweltering.

Even within LA the temperatures vary, the closer you are to the coastline the better the weather.

I know because I grew up in the south bay, I lived in SF for 2 years and lived in LA for 10 years.

What's overall better in socal is that the winters are much more mild. In the south bay the worst you can get is ice in the morning and really cold nights. Socal winters just has a very slightly lower temperature than spring.

Not trying to say NorCal has better weather than Socal. I'm saying NorCal has some of the best weather in the world despite it not having the "perfect" weather that Socal has. The entire CA coast line is afterall still in the mediterranean climate zone.
These modals being everywhere is 100% a failure of lawmakers being technically inept (again) and being vague with execution. Did EU lawmakers not have anyone providing them advice when writing GDPR?
"Economics" is not a somehow pure and distinct topic from nation building - economies thrive (and vice versa) on the stability of nations. You cannot force economic prosperity out of instability and disunity, so it is very strange to ask how creating more stable/unified nations or autonomous regions is economically helpful.

This obviously does not apply to all sub-Saharan countries - there are many that already had or have managed to forge national identities of their own. I am speaking for those of us who are unevenly yoked and know it.

The Parallels in the Culture Between the Two Category Defining Companies
It's a recent change by the Associated Press Style Guide. They decided to capitalize Black because they identify as a group, while whites in the US don't.

They may well end up capitalizing white as well, though historically white is usually capitalized in conjunction with white supremacist groups who see whiteness under threat. I don't identify with those groups and would not want to be part of that. But the style is changing and we'll see how this looks in a few years.

Learn how the immune system works in general.

It comes down to having t cells which memorize diseases so you can flood your system with defenses. The difference is over time of fighting it (unless it's constantly present) the antibodies die down (because no need to make more if it's not around to begin with)
You touch on the key thing that people sometimes overlook. Whatever you are doing to serve errors has to be strictly less expensive than serving successes. If your load shedding error path does things like logging synchronously to a file (as you might get from a logging library that synchronizes outputs for warnings and errors, but not information), taking a lock to update a global error counter, or formatting stack traces in exceptions, it's possible that load shedding will _cause_ the collapse of your service instead of preventing it.

You can sign the data, but it won't help.

Basically, the ability to fake any video means that other data is needed to prove that the person/events in the video was in fact the person/events that that video is claimed to depict.

Other proof, other measurements of the same events, etc.

Deep fakes mean people will know they can't trust their eyes, they need to think critically. That's been true for a while, but now they'll know it.

Which I presume is why Parker/Stone are doing this now, other than the obvious (make money). They're going to force people to recognize this is possible and how perfect the fake can be.

Santa Cruz Bicycles and Cervelo Cycles | Full-Stack Developer | Salt Lake City, UT | Remote for now, On Site | Full Time

Santa Cruz Bicycles, Juliana Bicycles, and Cervelo Cycles’ SLC-based digital team is hiring a full-stack developer to create new online experiences for customers across our brands. As the next member of our team you will design and build new responsive and accessible experiences in ReactJS, Gatsby, and NextJS as well as develop strategies and patterns to migrate legacy interfaces to a modern tech stack.

>But since youtube-dl already has a [...] I don't see how the concept of "Schelling point" is relevant.

There are multiple Schelling Points. The specific Schelling Point that's uncertain is a widely known place that everybody has converged on for bug reports, discussing issues, pull requests, etc. The Github repo used to serve that purpose but DMCA took it down.

Yes, the domain "youtube-dl.org" is _one_ Schelling Point, but there was another Schelling Point for developers' collaboration and Github removed it. Someone said the maintainer moved the repo to Gitlab but the one found by Google search doesn't seem canonical/blessed/official. Even if it is canonical, Gitlab could also remove it because of a DMCA takedown.

There doesn't seem to be a slam dunk obvious (and easy) solution for creating stable Schelling Points for developers to collaborate on legally dubious projects like Youtube-dl that's the target of RIAA.

Sure, and this is where, for example, the old Flickr policy was great. You could only see the 1000 newest pics, but all the rest of them were actually still there (and inaccessible to anyone), in case you decided to renew later.

> Comparatively speaking even compare them to the same CRUD app and DB, most are using 5 to 10x more servers with 1/2 to 1/5 of the traffic.

No doubt, but how large are those other CRUD app organizations? Do they have a staff that is 20x the size all trying to coordinate deployments on the same handful of servers? What are their opportunity costs? Is trimming down server expenses really their most valuable opportunity? No doubt that SO has a great Ops capability, but it's not the only variable at play.
From the wording in the TOS it sounds like this is only possible before cancelling your subscription. There is no such requirement in the GDPR. At any point, do you as a data subject have the right to have your information erased, or stop a service provider from processing your data.
