Oh I agree parking is a bad strategy overall. It shouldn’t be a luxury though, we should just provide better means of public transportation in dense cities.

It’s a solved problem, look at European cities like Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, and many more... But in America robust public transport never gets done for many reasons including that special interests don’t want it to.
But I just did... I gave Morocco the same weight for occupying Western Sahara as Israel for occupying Palestine.

But, I mean, sure... The same thing can be said about Mexico having military relations with the USA and Canada if each of them is going to acknowledge the rights of the other to fail to uphold treaties for the indigenous population.

Elsewhere in this thread I’m giving the UK a similar “singling out”, but that is unfair, since France is just as guilty of the things I say there. Alas the UK and France are both NATO members (and both control nuclear weapons), I wonder if their colonies would be liberated by now, or if we had finally enacted an international nuclear weapons ban if it weren’t for the countries most guilty of doing precisely that banding together with a huge and deadly military to back it up.
This article has a lot of "pseudostatistics" - that is, making broad statements like "Rather than a dog surplus, what we have is a shortage of pups" with little or no analysis to back it up.

For example, there are many animal diseases that used to be an instant death sentence for any dog or cat that ended up in a shelter with disease (and still are in most places in the US). Some pioneering shelters have developed programs that now save huge numbers of animals with these diseases. For example, parvovirus in puppies is very contagious and it's a grueling course, but puppies that survive parvo have normal lives and can be great dogs. Austin now saves around 500 puppies a year with parvo that end up in shelters. Most other cities still kill these animals, so adopting proven programs to save them would go a long way to ending any supposed "shortage" of animals.

Parvo is just one example:

I could see Starlink-fed WISPs or cellular becoming something very real. Starlink CPE is very expensive and probably heavily subsidized. Plenty of villages where 0 can afford it, but collectively they could.

Starlink may as well take the money on the table if the constellation will fly overhead anyway.
It’s not a consumer service. You’re a business, make the damn phone call.
The reason your tax rate should be determined by your income, rather than the first integration of your income (i.e. wealth), is because just having wealth isn't hurting anyone. If I spend every evening in my garage fixing up an old car, and increase its value from $1000 to $2000, I've increased my wealth but I haven't negatively (or positively) affected anyone else. It might be useful as a means of generating government revenue but it isn't something that needs to be taxed on its own.

Spending money, however, does affect other people - it reorganizes their incentives to produce more of the thing you spent money on. This can lead to weird situations where a homeless person has 0 effect on market incentives even though all they want is a blanket, but a rich person can motivate tens of thousands of people to assemble her another yacht to leave at her vacation home. So you can make your car aa valueble as you like in the privacy of your own home, but as soon as you want to use that to start affecting market incentives (by selling it then spending the money), prepare to get taxed.

Technically a consumption tax would be better than an income tax, but most people spend most of their income so it isn't that different and it's easier to make an income tax progressive

Is that mask in the photo accompanying the post photoshopped over an existing picture of Bill? Or is Gates actually wearing the mask that way? In either case, doesn't it appear to be OVER the bottom of his glasses? Don't mean to be too picky, but the post stresses the importance of wearing masks to "slow the spread of the virus and save lives," so one would want to avoid suggesting wearing masks in a way that has been noted to decrease their effectiveness. Btw, tried Googling for another photo of Bill wearing a mask for comparison purposes, but couldn't find any. Guess he's been pretty good about social distancing! :-)

Bill Gates doesn’t care about a $200 double parking ticket, in fact it’s probably worth it for him if if saves him time. He has no incentive to abide by that rule. If you scale it with income then everyone actually has skin in the game.

To quote the great Willie Sutton, 'Because that's where the money is.' SF was and is the financial capital of the west coast.
If you see this list only as "spend money" I think it's the perfect article for you.

The overarching point of the author is that most of his target audience (and those reading HN) are used to being thrifty and not spend money at all, even when they get older.
They fail to realize that at some point, it's worth your time to spend the X amount either because the value of investing X down the line is so great, or because the time saved by spending X is now so much greater than before, because of something changing in your life (career has progressed, valuation of free time has changed).

I definitely see this myself daily, ending up wasting few minutes each day on trivial things that add up, while it could be fixed by paying a small amount.

Or for example trying to wade through a free course to learn something, but ultimately just dropping it out of no motivation. Compared to paying for a course, which makes you more responsible s you paid for it and usually also offers more effective training.
So you are basically describing a malfunctioning meritocracy, where the function that determines merit is corrupted by biases. Seems like the solution would be to remove biases (e.g. in case of coding interviews, do blind interviews instead of/in addition to in-person ones).

As a side note, my experience in all the teams I worked at (tech in SFBA and Seattle) is that white men are a small minority, and if you exclude Eastern Europeans barely exist at all. Even if you exclude the usual suspects, I'm pretty sure I've had more coworkers originally from North Africa than originally from North America :)
That's just another way of expressing the concept that opportunities are limited.

Large investors (like those with $10B) can certainly take advantage of small opportunities, but just not with their full amount. But because they are large, there may be multiple small opportunities which they participate in, and diversify on, rather than a small investor who must commit to a single small opportunity (which forces them to take on individual/concentrated risk).

So it's not true that the $10M investor is better off.

The answer to (a) (along with many other things) is to use Flexbox:

I know this is old now by a day but to add on,

Is it possible you could document why then react doesn’t handle plan promises natively? You can conditionally return a promise there by not incurring the cost of the sugar of async/await

Also related: why wouldn’t generators be a good fit for some of these use cases? Especially since iterating over data is a common action. I imagine this would be easier to integrate into the framework for things like this

1. That’s not sufficient for reproduction. Reproduction would be something closer to reimplementing the code from the description in the paper, perhaps using a slightly different dataset as well. not simply docker running something.

2. the best research tends to outlive its initial implementation.

3. Some research code truly isn’t fit for publication, or is useless on its own. Eg anything that processes either proprietary or phi/pii data.

Number 3 aside, I agree there’s at least no reason not to throw code in docker and provide a basic README, but that practice is neither necessary nor sufficient for reproducibility. Science isn’t software development; the goals are different.

I say this as a researcher with tons of repos that all have unit tests, are super well documented, and have thousands of end users. In other words, I am a researcher whose career would benefit from greater emphasis on implementation quality. That’s one of the reasons I oppose the engineer’s perspective on “reproducibility” — implementation quality is important in science, but for different reasons than in engineering.

Confusing science for engineering puts the emphasis in the wrong place. The very last thing cs needs is for docker rituals to replace thoughtful critique of the implementation. I’ve seen lots of manicured code that doesn’t match the theory and breaks on even tiny changes to the input. In science, I care a lot more about those things than bugs, bad variable names, out dated dependencies, etc
Sirius is now GEO, but has ground repeaters in problem areas.

GPS has the advantage of seeing multiple satellites and working with that by design since its one way. Despite that, Japan launched its own satellite to supplement GPS because it had so many issues. I think we’re spoiled by our phones that supplement GPS with cellular signals, wifi and inertial references.
Note that I’m never saying Military alliances are the thing that cause wars, but they do tend to escalate them and they do seem to hinder peaceful solutions to conflicts.
Could someone ELI5 how this is even conceptually possible? I suppose that is exactly what the ACLU was trying to find out, but I thought something like AES-256 should be impossible in principle to break.

So what type of thing is most likely happening? Are hardware vendors secretly installing back doors? is there some sort of software encryption standard that's compromised? Or some kind of secret breakthrough in computation theory that easily "solves" encryption? Or maybe, bolstered by NSA surveillance, they just know passwords and unlock codes to devices?

Again, I understand that that is the exact mystery here, but I would appreciate knowing if one or more of the possibilities is conceptually more likely than the others.

IIRC it is banned for >6 stories in the PRC. So perhaps something similar is at hand. (HK still uses it for skyscrapers, though.)
A few of these things tend to empower. Most of them don't.

What reliably empowers is: choose a skill and practice it constantly. So few people do this, it's a practically guaranteed route to financial, social, and intellectual security. Taking the time to do your own grocery shopping, or not, is a gating factor exactly never.

Almost all other types of human activity are weak compared to the compounding action of just doing something all the time. In the short term, activities like complaining or optimizing random chores may seem stronger. But on timescales of years they're just noise.

Hi! We are fully bootstrapped, and ZenML is the final result of a longer journey. When we started over three years ago we were running predictive analytics projects with industry partners. Over time our focus expanded, until we finally realized: our tech stack is much more valuable.
We did a lot of talking to people to find out if there is a niche for our perspective, and have been pushing the code base to where it is today for the last months.

So, to answer in short: there is a longer development cycle behind this, but not in the open - and no VC backing.
Just use a virtual credit card and you can "cancel" any service you want by pausing the card. Privacy.com and payaware are two I would recommend for this.
In my comment I’m not proposing that some purchases should be illegitimate.

I’m only pointing out that there is an imbalance of power: a company can use a drone strike on your mind, you can defend yourself with a popsicle stick. Good luck.

I’m not proposing a solution but seems clear to me that individuals don’t have the power nor the weapons to defend themselves from what corporations with teams of psychology trained employees want them to do or think.

The problem is not whether we should make the product illegal, it’s whether instilling the need/want for the product in the consumer, especially with creepy tracking, profiling, micro targeting techniques available for cheap nowadays should be regulated (I think it should, for full disclosure)

Except what you said is not at all true. Dell, hp, and Lenovo have a whole bunch of different models for different laptops. They're also very customizable, so the model may be slightly different if you want different hardware. But you're arguing for less consumer choice. Dell, hp, and Lenovo do not swap models around to try to fool consumers. Quite the contrary; you can search a very old model number and find exactly what you're looking for on their site.
Miami metro is already a bit of a tech hub. It's not as prominent as say, the valley, but it exists. Lots of startups, localized tech, more than a few big names have offices there. It's not heavily advertised as such, but if you spend time there or research it, you'll see it.

I say metro also including Ft Lauderdale and whatnot.
Thumbs up for personal trainer.

For this community especially, there will come a time when sedentary starts to take its toll. For me, 35+. It is a royal pain in the rear to try to start a fitness program on your own and stick to it. Too many excuses and too likely to overdo it and either injure yourself or lose motivation.

Enter the personal trainer. It took me 6 months of training to get over the hump and into a self-sustaining mode. 3 days/week for 26 weeks. You don’t need elite training. If you skip on a day, you are skipping on a person. They will ensure you stay safe and motivated. Worth every penny and pays dividends for decades. Split it with a friend and get the semiprivate rate.
Given the upside, how can you not think it's worth the shot?

As a pretty well- studied gambler, and given the limited information we have, I think you're right-- there a worse possible outcome. But it's 100% worth the shot.

Sure. It may be unethical and so on. But.

If it’s not a negotiation, what is it?

And, how does OP assess their position, possible outcomes, and decide what cost is worth it?

How many months of ones life or tens of thousands of bucks is it worth? Depends on what’s likely to be at the end of the tunnel, no?

Point is - it’s a calculation, of just how badly one desires justice/vengeance, if nothing else. Which, when contracts are involved, for stuff like this means getting advice from a lawyer, unless you want to get your ass handed to you.

IIRC most court cases resolve with some kind of settlement - which is a negotiation.

Even if the process does become adversarial, how do you think wars end? Even when one side is the clear victor there is still negotiation. Consider the U.S. post-WWII occupation of Germany. Even there negotiation was involved at the end. We struck deals with the (now former) Nazis because they could help us against the Soviets in various ways.

There’s a third investor, who it sounds like has the power. So agin, potential for negotiation with the investor.

Negotiation does not equal weakness. It could very much mean negotiating an outcome in your favor from a position of strength. But if all you’ve got on your mind is cake-fucking then you may miss that opportunity.
It is also not permitted by Visa/MasterCard terms regarding recurring services without a contract period.
Homelessness has always been a problem in this country; it just wasn't as visible as it is now. That visibility is from a bunch of reasons (the Internet makes all things more visible, cities became more popular instead of "white flight," sprawl in more areas). All the way back in 1995--jesus, that's 25 years ago, I feel old--Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a two-part episode on "Sanctuary Districts" and staggering wealth inequality. Those were depicted as having gotten particularly bad in the year 2024 (the year our heroes were transported back to) but the episode was commenting on the state of society around the late 80s and early 90s. We've had hobo slums, tent cities, and the like as long as I've been alive.

It's not a California-specific problem. Dallas had tent cities in the mid-90s that the local news would occasionally report on. Seattle has had a variety of encampments, from "the Jungle" to "Nickelsville" to "Skid Row" and older.

We see the problem more now. We don't like it, but we also don't do much to deal with it. So it festers, because we're too self-centered to spend the tax dollars at the state and federal levels to do programs like Housing First, but too polite to just round up the homeless population and drop them in a woodchipper like most people on Nextdoor seem to want. Instead, we leave cities and counties to work it out for themselves while their suburban neighbors spend tax dollars on luring businesses out of the urban core because it is "so dirty."

Sure is nitpicky. When I see some open source software I certainly never see libc mentioned as a dependency. It's just assumed that it is there as part of the OS which it basically is.
Hi, one of the co-founders here. We’ve been using the original base of ZenML for a few years in its previous shapes, mostly in predictive analytics projects. We obviously had to switch things up to make the code base suitable to a broader audience and are still working out kinks.

Especially feedback like yours is super appreciated, as we can gauge opinions and evaluate them against our roadmap, so thanks :).
Hi guys--Jonathan here at Bare. I've forced everyone's hand on this because... whelp... we've recently acquired the business and we ended up finding that we can be critical to Stripe Webhooks processing for folks on the older Stripe API. We literally will take down your invoicing on Stripe when a customer cancels. Then we have the unsavory task of working with customers that have canceled, did not complete their deprovisioning and then flame us for causing them outages. I love a lively debate but if you're a customer and love us, reach out to me NOW and I'll hear your feedback. If you're not a customer, then please, please if you never want to talk to your vendor, please go to ProfitWell or ChartMogul. Patrick and Nick are great guys and are crushing it and will gladly take your business. We are getting eaten from the bottom by platforms AHEM Stripe that are inspired by us, folks that clone us and you can see from our revenue transparency that we're the last in line for making money. That is going to change--by helping customers that really want to make more... make more. If you'd like to give me direct feedback, give me a ring at 855 252 6050. (I'm also a CISSP™, CREST CRT™ and Brown Cybersecurity dude--so if you've any legislation that speaks to this, let me know--for you folks quoting CA--we have business customers and they are over 13.)
