> AirBNB is helping city dwellers escape their tiny apartments

In my experience, both personal and relative to my country, kicking out AirBNB from cities has helped people escaping from their tiny apartments because a lot more apartments have returned back on the regular mid/long term rental market.

Don't use NSA/Microsoft's computer to store your data. I'm not sure how much more clear cut this can be. NSA/Microsoft is a persistent, global adversary and should be treated as one not as some kind of standard. Treating NSA/Microsoft as a 'best practice' means sleepwalking towards losing the right to read[1], the right to investigate and understand the environment around us and all human rights worth considering.

> Why not encourage employees to represent their beliefs individually, and off company time, by giving them more vacation and flexible working hours instead? Empower the employees to participate in politics without the company taking a side itself?

IMHO it's about power and the profits power leads to, and the desire of large companies to maintain their power and their profit.

IMHO on some level large corporations know that if they did this employees would get politically active and push more for their own interests to be represented in government over that of the large companies, resulting in less profit for said companies because government is investing in civil society and public infrastructure instead.

IMHO part of the reason the George Floyd protests were as big as they were is that folks had time on their hands, which is not the normal case for most folks in our system as it is today.
In practice, I have not (yet) found many great use cases for the distinction in Koka. It is nice to have "total" functions, but "pure" (exceptions+divergence) is still a good thing (and what Haskell gives you). And like you say, in practice we can easily have functions that just take a long long time to compute.

Still, it is a good extra check and I can see more use for the `div` effect for future verification tools where total functions can be used as a predicates (but non-terminating ones cannot).
Of course, it's not just San Francisco, it's practically all cities in the Bay Area that strictly limit housing development but allow office construction.

I think the author’s analysis ignores an important facet of this problem - namely, the tremendous opportunity cost of burnout. In my time in this industry, I have seen burnout result in lost employment, failed startups, years-long mental health crises, and even total career switches. Even if the locally optimal solution is to prioritize work over leisure, most people who have been exposed to the idea of “burnout” at all seem to recognize that regularly trading leisure for productivity can result in significantly _less_ productivity over a five year period, even if seems optimal in the current month.
As far as I'm aware there are a few major problems with static typing in Erlang that can't be solved so far and are not solved here either:

1. If you have a function that calls into other modules like `other_module:some_func(X)`, then the typing of this call can change at runtime. You could first have

some_func(N) when is_number(N) -> N + 1.

and later load a new version with

some_func(N) when is_integer(N) -> N + 1.

The older version accepts all numbers, i.e. floats and integers, while the second only accept integers.

2. Erlang message passing can not be typed statically in a meaningful (i.e. non-trivial) way, as the typing may be state-dependent:

Pid = spawn_link(fun () ->
receive
first -> ok;
_ -> error(bad_message)
end,
receive
second -> ok;
_ -> error(bad_message)
end
end)

Now, the static typing of sending to `Pid` depends on what you've sent before. This could maybe be handled by "enumerating" the receives, but I think that invites the halting problem into your type system.

By this logic someone who wants to change an existing game that allows same sex marriage to be one that doesn't is a "liberal" because they're advocating a change to the status quo.

But if we take this as a given then the original claim doesn't make sense anymore, because in the original claim "conservative" essentially means Republican, but the Republicans would be the "liberals" in many cases under your framework. And yet we don't really see employees pressuring companies to implement mandatory drug testing or to refuse to hire H1B workers or stop offering healthcare plans that cover abortion, even though those would all be divergences from the status quo in many companies.

Yes. The experiment was far more controlled than he implied. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/magazine/12letters-t-CORR...

I know one of the people who worked alongside Klein (and Unidan) at Binghamton U. She says wild crows are highly neophobic and it's hard to train them to accept the presence of a big machine and do stuff with it. (Our conversation was quite a few years ago so I'm a bit vague.) There was a lot of academic disagreement and fallout when Klein went forward with his Ted talk and made the experiment out to be much more exciting than it was.
Yeah definitely. I'm glad there's a good alternative like that around.

As the author says: "You might also need colors to emphasize different semantic states"

It's a reasonable choice to use them, but you don't necessarily need to. It is a useful example for palette building as it is a common choice to us semantic colors, and it helps to demonstrate adding colors with substantially different hues.

How does a township with 50% unemployment also have garbage lying about everywhere? The marginal cost of employing people to at least collect is minimal. A town with 50% unemployment is extremely rich in excess labour capacity, they should be able to hire people cheaply.'

Why not? Because social organization is probably abysmal.
Anecdotally, AirBnBs in rural locations seems pretty popular at the moment. You can stay with your "pod" (or by yourself), you can prepare at least some of your meals yourself, and you just generally have a lot less contact than in the case of a hotel. I don't even normally stay at AirBnBs and I just booked one after the holidays as a hiking base and change of scenery.

ADDED: That said, the fact that self-contained rural properties are pretty popular at the moment doesn't mean that a business that depends on people traveling is necessarily doing great.

The unit of measurement varies by region: a United States tablespoon is approximately 14.8 mL (0.50 US fl oz), a United Kingdom and Canadian tablespoon is exactly 15 mL (0.51 US fl oz), and an Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (0.68 US fl oz). The capacity of the utensil (as opposed to the measurement) is defined by neither law nor custom, and it may or may not significantly approximate the measurement.

I would say phones would be an exception to this rule, since a large number, perhaps even the majority, use OLED panels which are capable of displaying true black. This is becoming true for TVs as well.
Feel like OP should have linked to the link inside the article (provided below) which gives more evidence. Still not very good evidence, but better than this original (1/3 of wearers were linked to bomb making):

Hmm i think its mindset (and to some extent intelligence) based - for some folks phone will always be a gizmo for clicking on whatapp, call, watch funny videos and mabe 1-2 more things. Open concept of OS, tweakability etc. is beyond their care.

Some simpler folks need simple world - if this, then that. Critical thinking, complex topics, more than 1 truth etc are just too much. This yes, this no. This confirms my fears/makes me happy to hear, I will vote for it. Of course they are frustrated. But in much simpler way than you would probably imagine, and for shorter time. And quite possibly they don't know that they don't know how computers work. Look, they can turn it on and click on icon and it works. Mission accomplished.

To be honest my mom also doesn't know how computers work, and she has an university degree in economics from times where it was really hard to even get to university back home.
To say 'I remember my birth' is hearsay. When we give our birth date, we are effectively lying, as we don't know, even though we were there.

I believe that there is a past that was laid down. But I don't think we know it. We are told and taught is what is most expedient in order for our behaviour to be managed. (Take a look at Star forts to see what I mean - you weren't taught about this global build style at school.)

As we don't experience evolution, why should we believe it is true? We can experience selection of the best fruit etc, choosing and breeding the best tomatoes - but this is not evolution. This is just selective breeding.

In the same way as I think history is whatever is expedient, I think the same about science (and religion).

I personally believe that the scientific method is a fantastic way to better understand the world. But it has to be done personally. The problem is that science does not use the scientific method, regardless of how much it pays lip service to it. Science relies on trust and scientists have faith that all the steps are there - its just they were taken by someone else. But the steps are not there, and no one is checking anything. These are mistaken assumptions, or stories and no one seems to care or notice.

If you want an example of how little we know in science, try and make water out of the 2 gases, in controlled conditions. I will pre-empt any further questions on this, until you have looked online, or put up an experiment of your own. There are lots of loud pops, but what I see is water already in the air condensating against the glass. If you find a good example of water being created - and we should be able to create buckets of the stuff right? - please run it past me and see if I agree. I promise to be fair, and explain my reasoning if I disagree.

My view is that we live in a fabricated reality, where we have created types and classifications - but that these are ideas in our own minds. We are not describing reality, we are describing our classifications. We are lost in our stories.
Would love for downvoters to explain their downvotes and contribute to the discussion : ). IMHO it's the ethical thing to do.

IMHO downvoting without an explanation, without contributing to the discussion, is just code for "I don't like how what you said made me feel."
Thanks. Re 1: Use of ‘designed’ was on purpose. Minimum wage law was passed by Roosevelt in 1938. In the beginning of the 20th century, in the south, it was mostly black people who were employed by the rail road companies. They had low level of unemployment but only because they accepted low wages.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen who didn’t accept black people in their union created a mandate for minimum wage for all races. Davis-bacon act in 1931 for federal jobs and national industrial recovery act later for specific industries. And finally Roosevelt passed minimum wage act in 1938.

During all this time, black people no longer enjoyed the high employment rate but continued to be employed only in sectors that paid the lowest of the minimum wage tier.

Only industries not mandated by minimum wage assured upward economic mobility.

I could explain rent control too but I think the case has been made by me and others as to why it doesn’t work. With this in mind..what other word can I use other than ‘designed’ emphasized?

I hear you re: 2 and 3. I was annoyed. But when you literally had to write a thesis on a subject and dismissed by faceless disapproval, it makes a mockery of me suffering for an education. But..point taken.

Re:4..I wasn’t addressing anyone in particular. It looks like violent communication because acronym ‘FAANG’ sounds like I am baring my teeth. If so..a very legit form of onomatopoeia for rhetoric effect.

And it was a SF/FAANG issue when ..for example: Google employees from wherever chose to live in SF rent controlled apartments and bussed them to Mountain View, the glaring problem of lack of public transport and crumbling infrastructure of a city that couldn’t handle the influx of new residents was entirely paved over.

If I sat in front of you and I waved my hands a lot, would you ask me not to do it because it’s not acceptable to others? It’s emphasis. It’s for effect. It’s cultural. I roll my eyes and speak with my hands a lot..while typing, I use other effects. In order to punctuate communication. Surely, it is not a sin?
Also, I'd happily pay the store to deal with any warranty issues. I just talk to the person of the store (whom I paid for that service), and they communicate with whoever they need to get the issue solved. In the meantime, they give me a replacement item. This service should be offered, at a higher price tag, even if I bought my product elsewhere, no questions asked.
It still does in non-mobile browser tabs—and my iPad Safari can be set to non-mobile user agent (or whatever, it’s in the settings). So I can listen to YouTube and browse the internet, including HN, on iPad and desktop.

I use most services through their web interface, because I’d rather not use their apps. Though many services such as Instagram stopped making that possible so those I have no choice.
There have been several attempts that I know of. But they all tend to have a low number of categories they sort into - tens vs the thousands of actual categories that exist.

I have tried it myself and it simply needs more input data (ie photos). However, that is something I might follow up on later as I can fairly easily get more data just by asking my community :)
> macro hygiene in itself is a solution looking for a problem

No. Unless you're not familiar with Lisp-1 vs Lisp-2. In Scheme, you would have to GENSYM every variable in addition to every function you call within a macro. Whereas in Common Lisp you just need to GENSYM the variables. That's the real reason Scheme doesn't use DEFMACRO.

I'm not personally a fan of any hygienic macro system because learning a new language defeats the purpose and elegance of Lisp macros in the first place. But then again, outside of personal projects and academic exercises, no one should be using macros. Messing with fundamental semantics of a language while other developers are working on the same project will certainly make you a ton more enemies than friends. I still have a grudge against the guy that used Ruby's method_missing and I spent an entire day hunting down a method that didn't exist. When I figured it out, I don't think I've ever been so pissed at someone before.

They argued that discipline is necessary, not sufficient, to produce good code. You represented the argument as: "discipline is sufficient for secure (good) code"

You took the original argument, changed it to be fallacious, and used it as a strawman. That's what was dishonest about it.

it depends on your hardware, and your requirements

i have now Manjaro Linux on a HP Spectre. (Debian installer crashed .... )

- 4K support is pretty bad for a lot of games. usually some tweaking is required to get the text size - to a readable level.

- Internal Sound-card doesn't work.

- Wifi - had to switch iwd to get stable network. (had lots of packetloss with with wpa-supplicant)

- Getting the Geforce and Intel card working was a pain.

- Touch screen doesn't support reading pressure levels.

- Terminator is misses a bunch of feature that iTerm2 has.

- Last manjaro upgrade disabled the Nvidia graphics card, without warning. (had to restore a previous timeshift backup)

- external monitor doesn't work yet.

- listening to music while lock screen is on doesnt work

- fingerprint scanner doesn't work.

- have to restart bluetooth swith medium probability because it fails to connect to my airpods.

- the UI to unlock your encrypted harddisk at boottime looks also really bad. only text mode. and the text is also not very friendly.

almost all issue, i don't have on the same hardware with windows, but since i really want use linux i accepted it that the HW support is crappy.
> The purpose of the recent campaign against "disinformation" is to make it more difficult to point out that the elites are lying.

That is not apparently true? Generally speaking the disinformation stuff is to prevent blatantly false conspiracy theories from being circulated widely? In any case, you're still free to talk about those ideas, you just don't necessarily have access to the level of circulation you might otherwise.

Historically, this seems pretty reasonable to me. When the constitution was written, if you had a fringe idea, you could shout it on the streetcorner and tell all your friends in person, but it was time-consuming work. Unless you had access to capital, you were probably not going to have your ideas printed and spread beyond what you personally were able to accomplish via direct communication.

I don't think the founders had it as a goal that every idea would be maximally disseminated. That's not what free speech was about, and, for me, that's not what free speech ought to be about.
I think it's implied, but unstated, that this guide is for picking a palette for an app that follows modern design trends. The choice of a slack-like UI reinforces that.

You can get away with many fewer colors if you use different design language, but very few (not none, but few) apps are built with those sorts of aesthetics.
