What does "coastal/urban elites" mean? Just anyone who lives in a coastal or urban area? 80% of the American population lives in urban areas, and that's only going to increase when you include whatever your definition of "coastal" is. Where does the "elite" factor in?

> When and where was the last poll that predicted an election accurately?

Polls don't purport to predict elections; though people do poll-based forecasts.

538, for instance, does a lot of them every cycle. And seems to be fairly close on the odds, though generally the most-likely predicted outcome occurs at a slightly higher rate than their predictions.

They all come with their own sets of risk.
Think of it as another asset class, with different characteristics / (albeit changing) correlation.

We are at historically low interest rates.

Real Estate is getting more and more expensive compared to generated cashflow.
Inflation/Deflation possibilities.
Naturally, people are looking at other opportunities or hedges.
Allocating portion according to your own situation and believe can make sense.

There also exists an argument on Gold vs BTC:
- Gold is hard to transport
- Same bar appears on multiple balance sheets
- Paper gold ETFs
- Price manipulation by central banks and hedge funds
- Hardness / How much gold is added yearly
- Ability to improve in use through software

Could be a very good collateral, compared to bonds which lose value through inflation.

It's really a personal decision.

You kind of provide recipe how to avoid it yourself. One suggestion that might or might not be relevant - don't do weightlifting at your proper max, and don't push your limits that way. Its a way to grow fast but also sure way to injury. There is no way to be at your limit and keep the proper perfect form, every time. You can always add more repetitions to workout.

For me weightlifting is about staying in shape for things like mountain adventures, feeling great, looking good. But Arnold-look is a silly goal for long term wellness, and so are the methods to get there. Once I stopped pushing the numbers and focused on more repetitions, I never had any injury. That's worth much more than some momentary number of kilos/pounds you did today - nobody will care about that tomorrow, but injuries remain, sometimes forever.

There's a big gap in trends between new-wave "tech companies" and "enterprise companies". It's hard to cleanly define these categories aside from culture, but Go is plenty popular in the former (along with lots of other languages), and Java remains prevalent in the latter. Sounds like maybe Python spans both.

If you look at California, for example, you can literally verify that many registered sex offenders live just a few blocks away from any given person. The thing with prison mentality is that people forget that most crimes don't carry life sentences and that ex-cons eventually go back to the streets.

So the question becomes how do you reconcile the secretly dark desire to wipe undesirables off the face of the earth forever vs a legal system that says that people do have the right to live normal lives after they've paid their debts to society. There isn't really a viable middle ground here. The current status quo is to just spend ungodly amounts of tax dollars deferring the dilemma to X years in the future. But when the time is up, either you wait for a relapse and go through the whole thing again, or you just accept that society wants undesirables banished and just kill them all all the time to free resources, or you come up with some reasonable reintegration strategy where people are ok living near ex-cons. Most people would probably balk at the idea of unconditional life/death sentences, under some tautological idea of justice. You can see small scale cases where reformed murderers claim to have found god and built families, and whatever. The challenge is that there's a lot of very strong stigma as soon as you leave tight social circles and that's where the relapses often come from.

This is 16GB which is shared with their GPU so it will be interesting to see what limit Apple puts on the GPU for grabbing memory.

There are stories that Apple is working on a gGPU so that would free space up on a future Mx chip for additional processors or memory. However looking at the space occupied by DRAM and GPU it looks like a larger die is required for any on board memory expansion.
How many cores does that have, and how many cores does the i7 have though?

Arrow + Parquet is brilliant!

Right now I'm writing tools in Python (Python!) to analyse several 100TB datasets in S3. Each dataset is made up of 1000+ 6GB parquet files (tables UNLOADed from AWS Redshift db). Parquet's columnar compression gives a 15x reduction in on-disk size. Parquet also stores chunk metadata at the end of each file, allowing reads to skip over most data that isn't relevant.

And once in memory, the Arrow format gives zero-copy compatibility with Numpy and Pandas.

If you try this with Python, make sure you use the latest 2.0.0 version of PyArrow [1]. Two other interesting libraries for manipulating PyArrow Tables and ChunkedArrays are fletcher [2] and graphique[3].

I have a house and one kid. My wife wants another kid and complains that out house is too small (it's 1800 sqft). I hate my job but have no other options to support us.

I honestly wonder how I did not listen to all the advice of other people about not getting married. Even at this same job I was much happier years ago. Part of that was because I hadn't been disillusioned yet, but I think part of it was also that I had the option of just quitting and taking a lower paying job or moving. Now I'm not allowed to try either of those options.

There aren't many people with $100 million income. Most billionaires don't have income that high -- there is a much higher wealth disparity than there is income disparity.

It's yet another data point for fingerprinting. Similar to how you can use audio and canvas for fingerprinting. See https://audiofingerprint.openwpm.com/ for audio example. You could replicate the audio fingerprint example with performance characteristics instead and use in connection with other data points to build identifiers of users.
Since you're soliciting them, here's a few concrete suggestions:

- Avatars. A consistent, recognizable image can go a long way from transforming a faceless internet post into something closer to a person you recognize and would hesitate to harm. With enough time and exposure, usernames can work for this (everyone recognizes when tptacek, or moxie, or you post), but avatars supercharge it. People hate changes to the site UX, so maybe put it behind a profile option that's defaulted to 'off' - then, only people who care about seeing them do. Of course, this would increase the moderation burden - people using offensive avatars, etc, but I think it could help.

- Heads on pikes. A weekly/monthly/ongoing/whatever roundup of notable bad actions which people have been moderated for. This should be limited to interesting and informative cases - not spam, piracy, CSAM, etc, but legitimate humans engaging in bad-faith actions, flame wars, etc. Having negative examples to avoid can help a community understand what is and isn't appropriate in a more concrete way than a dry set of rules. And seeing people be punished for violating those rules in a public way can have a deterrent effect. Making these public works better than just downvotes, because downvotes ultimately end up hiding content.

- Exemplars on pedestals. The obvious counterpart to negative examples is positive examples. In a way, the upvote system already does something like this, but it's not the same as officially-sanctioned recognition from the staff. A very simple approach might be to give you / other staff members (maybe even high karma users/yc founders) a button on each comment that highlights it as a positive example worth emulating - maybe changing the text color in css of the username/time stamp to show that it's been recognized.

It isn't intentionally racist to hold the belief...but the belief is an intentional construction to justify racist policing.

Off the cuff and reducing a complicated discussion to somethign simple you can start here:

https://medium.com/equityorg/reefer-madness-the-racist-roots...

The early representations used to vilify marijuana were part of jim crow efforts to ensure racial hierarchies. They included representations (later reused with crack cocaine) of Black and Hispanic people using drugs and then being sent into a violent frenzy where they murder and kill white people.

The modern versions of this are more subtle, because they aren't being made explicitly but rather are part of a narrative societal norms is built on, which makes the entire discussion fuzzy and implicit. C.f. ...

the magical negro, and white people's belief that Black people actually have magical powers and super human strength - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/194855061455364...

and as an extension...

excited delirium, which is an invented thing used to justify violence by police and drug people and is often correlated with a presumption of drug use - https://www.brookings.edu/blog/how-we-rise/2020/08/10/how-ex...

With excited delirium, 'symptoms' may include "attempts at violence, unexpected strength [see previous paper]...Complications may include rhabdomyolysis or high blood potassium". Those complications happen to also be side effects of narcotics people are injected with...the 'diagnosis' is much much more likely to be applied to Black people (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28990246/)

it is a disease, invented by police, that only seems to occur when police are involved and suspect drug use, that is disproportionately applied to people of color, to provide a post hoc rationalization for violence comited against them.
Agreed on not creating silos.

Adding User 'flair' is perhaps a viable option, where users can simply tag other users with a short description. That enables both properties - avoiding discourse you find troubling, and allowing users to highlight those that they find enlightening.

Freedom of speech works well when paired with freedom to listen. Removing content (even if only from a user's view) only deepens the filter bubbles we're being shaped by.
It's a great idea that will probably damage the community. I do something like this privately, or did until earlier this year, when I stopped because it (a) was making it hard for me to read people's comments rather than surveil threads for specific tags and (b) really drove me to invest time in tagging people, which is unproductive since I know so little about the people commenting here and really have no business bucketing them.

Years ago I worked on the documentation for one of those big game engines. Previously as a "user" I suffered a lot with their physics system, and there was a big gap about its performance and best practices.

My motivation came completely from within me, because absolutely no one in the company seemed interested on fixing the docs. It's the least important thing in most of these big companies.

Sounds similar to my use case. Two snags to work around when generating Go source:

1. The {{}} pairs confuse editor syntax coloring (in emacs, anyway).

2. Expansions that introduce or drop line breaks will cause the runtime/dlv to report line numbers that disagree with the pre-gen source you need to correct.
Is this defense more nuanced than "before they committed fraud they didn't commit fraud"? Yeah, i guess you could see that as a silver lining, but it puts it squarely in the past.

> I'm curious where polls actually work

If your definition of "work" is that a poll accurately predicts the outcome of the election, take a step back. Polls don't do that.

I'm not just referring to inaccuracies that are introduced by non-representedness of the sample, although that's clearly a factor as well.

Polls invite respondents to indicate how they would vote "if an election were held today". But the election isn't being held today, and the respondents know it. Polls are an invitation for respondents to send a message to politicians before the poll, to influence the politicians' offerings. Respondents know that, and use the opportunity that way.

So what are polls? Polls are their own little universe, with their own characteristics, dynamics, and effects. What they aren't is a crystal ball.
It's even better, you can build it on Linux/MacOS now.
Depends on a lot of factors, but probably not much more.
