Indeed the all in amortized cost of a full, ergonomic, kitchen in downtown SF, or that of any major city in a developed country really, doesn’t make much sense on a rational basis.
I wonder how long it will take for the majority of downtown housing to changeover.

Maybe this is the point to its proponents. However:

> Its value as a revenue source is secondary, and many proponents (of the geolibertarian sort) actually support lower tax receipts and smaller government.

Statements like this muddy tax discussions.

The primary reason for any tax at all, regardless of type or preference is to raise revenue for government. That fact shouldn’t be lost when discussing which kinds of taxes and what percent to raise them at is discussed, even when optimizing for political outcomes.

If the government were raising more tax than it needs for example, tax revenue is too high. If the government is spending more than it is collecting, then tax revenue is too low. Effects on market behavior are always secondary considerations.
Children are ethically immature? Who could have guessed?!?
It's literally one line of code that you have to add. It's really not that hard to maintain.
Oh. I didn’t think of that. I’m too naïve. Thanks!
I've had a similar experience with my biological mom.
That seems... expensive....
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy a mini?

Just checked - yes it is after about 2 months.
First you have to be an absolute garbage person. Then in your lawsuits you simply forget to mention that you're the one distributing it.
My 6 year old twins like to come up with questions about whether you would rather die or have X happen. Recently, one asked, "I know the answer is obvious" and then asked me if I'd rather die or have a bunch of dogs die. And I was like, "I'd rather live and let the dogs die" and she and her sister were appalled. They were like, "obviously you die and save the dogs".
This is so so weird. The HN hive mind wants government to let businesses do whatever harmful thing they want without restriction, and wants businesses which do harmful things they’re permitted to do seen as evil pariahs.
Can Microsoft dictate the terms under which you can use their software?

Some companies only charge for commercial use of their products. So the “it’s free” argument doesn’t really hold water.

Why work on hard problems and tough issues when you can pad your resume with these little laws that end up only creating more regulation, red tape and accomplish nothing of value?
haskell is a language for experts. quite frankly, it does not need runaway success to be successful. it can remain a top 20 or whatever language popularity-wise and remain best-in-class for experts.

once you are the expert, you would waste your time to use other programming languages.

also - the post you are replying to isn't condescending. the haskell community just doesn't treat beginners like infants who need coddling. haskellers tend to give the nuanced & truthful answer to questions.

It's definitely a vulnerability, but to be a little more grounded in reality, to exploit this you need to somehow convince your victim to go to your website which contains the document you're trying to get access to.

So for this to work you need to know the document ID, and also the person who owns this document. You then need to trick them into looking at their document on your domain, and then from there, need to persuade them somehow to press the send feedback button.

I'd also note that the feedback button is a button that I suspect very very few people ever press. I certainly never have. I also don't know the IDs to any documents I might find interesting but can't read, and if I find a document via some random google search that I can't look at, I generally have no way of knowing how to contact the owner so I can try to send them phishing emails to get them to look at their document on a non-google URL.

There's been a bunch of cases where google has paid out very substantial bounties, and given the extreme difficulty of both meeting the attack prereqs and then managing to pull off a very sketchy exploit process at the same time I think the sum paid is more than fair.
Julia does not (semantically) have static types. It just proves that you don't need static typing to have an incredibly rich and useful type system, and you don't need static types to have top notch performance.
Well, the US has the most obese population in % of the world.

So, great example of capitalism then? ( I'm just giving the same type of response as you did)
Consider the inherent differences in the metrics you're using.

The comment that started this discussion involved observing people visiting a soup kitchen. Short-term homeless may outnumber long-term homeless in an absolute metric (I was homeless for a few months in 2014) but long-term homeless make many more lifetime visits to a soup kitchen and therefore comprise a higher proportion of the people you meet. They also comprise a higher proportion of the people who are at any given time living on the street. If you solve short-term homelessness but not long-term homelessness, you haven't made nearly as much of a dent in the shelter beds and tent cities as you have in the quoted statistic of people who are ever homeless.

I'm sure you do meet "high-functioning adults" in soup kitchens, but I would also doubt they're the modal attendees.
> The supply and demand based solution to price gouging is to make the government guarantee access to the good at the desired price.

In a disaster situation that's not so easy to do.
I really doubt it’a a large majority.
I love using gsudo[0] for this. It doesn't support running as TrustedInstaller (AFAIK), but when I run into a command that requires elevated permissions, I just prepend `sudo` at the beginning, and it elevates the current shell (without a new window) and lets me run the command.

Ancient classics like Sophocles, Ajax, Philoctetes, Antigone, Oedipus or the writings of Cicero, etc. Everything that happens today already happened thousands of years ago the only difference was they lived in a much less censored time back then, so Sophocles could really express to the viewer(now reader) the true nature of the human condition such as workplace dishonesty, or why accolades are given to the scoundrels and the virtuous never receive any recognition. All of this can be found reading our civilizations history because the fundamental nature of humans has not changed in that time.
Apple added custom instructions on top of the ARM instruction set to do matrix operations.

Matrix operations are used a lot in some algorithms, such as in computer graphics and machine learning and these instructions help those operations go faster.

Although the ARM ISA has a multiply and accumulate instruction, it would take many more instructions on a standard ARM core to compute a matrix with only standard instructions. That enables the M1 chip to be faster in this case when developers use these instructions in their applications.

Scenario: You are at the Louvre Museum, suddenly there's a big fire. You are standing next to the painting of Mona Lisa that is about to catch on fire. From the corner of your eyes you also see a small kitten collapsed under fallen rubbles and desperately and hopelessly trying to get out. Which one do you rescue first?
That's an odd point of view - you're xenophobic if you don't prioritize unending population increases above all else?
this is not a bad model for understanding what has happened. Several phenomena have led to this:

1 - fetishization of quantitation in politics. Bias for policy endpoints that can be measured with "objective" numbers.

2 - Selection of employment as a policy endpoint that both the economic left and the right can agree on.

3 - Selection of monetary and fiscal policy as the means to keep employment levels high.

4 - https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hi...

"even in the long run, it’s really, really hard to cut nominal wages. Yet when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts. So having a somewhat higher inflation rate would lead to lower unemployment..."

5 - Goodhart's law

Result:

Stealthily cheat the labor class out of their wages to keep employment high over the course of generations (see productivity gap, http://country.eiu.com/asset_images/773319461.gif)

Keynes: "Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some."

Keynes should have been more specific: Inflation selectively impoverishes the poor and, and enriches the politically connected, who are usually already wealthy.
That seems naive and is refuted by the existence of a legal system.

Thanks for posting this - I had been under the impression the maximum load was expected to be less than a gram - some of the singular 'grains' in Chamber C look like I'd expect them to weigh more than gram individually.

Perhaps given they are the from a small gravitational mass, they are much less dense than we'd intuitively expect?

To paraphrase, poorly, the story of Color of Law by Richard Rothstein:

The housing projects in the US were implemented in extremely racist ways: segregation, then don't maintain the public housing at all. Public housing for white people in the 1930s was great, then with the red scare, the government decided that subsidizing home ownership would prevent the spread of socialism in the US. It was quite effective, but access to cheap home loans and cheap new developments was racially segregated: only new developments that would be largely white would get the FHA-subsidizided home loans. This is the well-documented "red lining."

This led to the economic segregation where the housing projects were only for Black people, were in areas without access to good schools or jobs. It's no wonder the housing projects failed, because they were largely doomed to failure.
Ugh!

I remember taking a set of courses in Mechatronics years after graduation. For the uninitiated, Mechatronics is a combination of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Software/Firmware to design & analyze software-controlled electromechanical systems. Most of the students had been in industry for decades and even I was almost 10 years out of college by that point. The Feedback Controls instructor, a brand-new Mathematics PhD, was fond of answering questions with a bewildered look at the board and the question, "well, isn't it obvious?" (probably not, if an engineer who hasn't solved a differential equation in 30 years is asking you). He was obviously very bright, but could not teach the subject to save his life.

Thankfully, the guy we had teaching the labs was an engineer who had been building control systems his entire career and could answer the theory questions as well as the practical aspects, or no one would have passed that class!

sorry, needed to vent :-)
I remember when I worked at a startup and we were trying to get a team at Apple to purchase our SaaS product. They wanted the software hosted on a Mac, so we ran it on a Mini to demo. Also strange things like presenting them in Slides instead of Powerpoint. But this was also like 10 years ago.
It's true for some campus libraries.
> Actually, if net value of land is negative what will happen to it?

You would be describing parts of Detroit wherein land is abandoned and the city limits shrink as the cost of providing services increases.
Maybe they didn't want to run into a tech debt thing of "we can't push this update to consumers even though it would cause no issues for them, because it would break X and Y on our backend servers and the two would have to diverge for some time until we come up with a fix."
Arbitrage is to always be expected when real market prices don’t match statutory (or nominal) prices.
Yeah, they certainly don't have the right DNA on the hardware side. On the software side, they've been working a lot more closely with JAMF recently, and there's quite a bit of enterprise support in the MDM space there.
A truly amoral rational agent would save the kitten, because they can't keep the painting.
I’d say the true nature of death isn’t something we gain insight into the older we are, either.
Yeah, my five year old is both weirdly obsessed with the idea of death but also weirdly not bothered by the concept. She is always asking if some person she learns about is dead, and always says we are "trying to die her" whenever we stop her from doing something she wants to do, but is never too distraught.
This is because fundamentally people aren't buying houses for "upside", they are buying them because they want somewhere to live.
I got a puppy when the pandemic hit, since I live alone and figured it'd help me cope with the isolation. This is the first pet I've ever owned. I thought that I would be able to "love" it the way other people seem to. But I can't, and until seeing this article I almost felt like that meant I was sociopathic or something. Sure it's cute, but I would also have no hesitation whatsoever in killing it to save the life of a random stranger I've never met. How are you supposed to love something when you feel that way about it? I think the way our relationship toward pets is portrayed, in western society at least, must be extremely unhealthy and immature because of this.
I started to work on this, because this is something I hoped existed. If there is enough interest, I am open to commercializing it. Its super easy to setup, especially given all my code is already open source :)
TL;DR but from the summary it says "Socially acquired" which seems like a leap to me. Couldn't it also be as simple as children don't fully understand all the difference between themelves and animals. For example, my 3 year old probably thinks dogs can talk and pilot helicopters.

Given that these are x86_64 Mac Minis, I'm surprised that Apple and Amazon couldn't work out a virtualization agreement that would allow Amazon to run macOS on their existing hypervisors. Higher education has been trying to do that with Apple for a decade now, but they don't have Amazon's clout.
I tried rolling my own system using Markdown, where I create a note every day with the following headings:

- Work Sessions

I used plain Markdown files, one for each day, but later discovered NotePlan[1] and it seemed to be the perfect organization tool for my system.

Gold and bitcoin won't help you. When stock prices move down, correlations between stocks go up. If you look at the last couple downturns you can see that this correlation between assets and asset classes has increased. Stocks dropping leads to people selling their bitcoin and gold which causes those prices to drop. Falling prices make speculators get scared and sell to cut their losses which drives prices down further and the cycle continues. What you really want to find is an asset that is negatively correlated to the stock market while stocks are dropping.
Prison should prevent a criminal from continuing to victimize the general public. When that fails, restrictions on the prisoner should be increased until it does.

In this man's case, he should probably be forbidden from ever owning the copyright to anything again. Anything he utters with his own mouth should go straight into the public domain. That would put an end to this horse shit from him.
Also, at least in the US, around 50% of the population (last time i checked) does not own stocks.
I found the comic very ammussing and insightful, likewise for some of the thread. But I am impressed at how well I delude myself into thinking that this was, at all, time well spent.
Trick question; Both would be impossible to remove under the circumstances. You should probably leave immediately, since you're almost as flammable as the Mona Lisa.
I am not following, they are quite different as far as I can tell. I am not sure either has a deep meaning, but P/E gives a better clue to the earnings per invested dollar you would expect when purchasing. I have never found much use for EPS, because outstanding shares between companies vary so much, and change with stock buybacks and such.
For what it’s worth, having gone the opposite direction (dynamic imperative langs -> clojure -> typescript), I highly recommend sticking with it for at least a little while. The dynamic type system must surely be painful if you’ve already enjoyed a good static type system, but getting a good instinct for how rarely code needs to be stateful and how easily maintainable even complex FP can be... really pays off when you come back to a language like TS.
I'm also interested in this, or any kind of data analysis or 'AI' challenge that isn't kaggle, kind of like competitive programming but for AI
If this bug works the way I think it does --- again, I could be wrong, but this looks like a pretty forward Clickjacking exploit to me --- there is nobody in the whole world that is going to pay what Google just did for it, because the only value this bug has is to be resold to Google for a bounty.
I'm going to go for the kitten, but I'm aware that I'm probably in the minority. I don't think I would be able to live with myself if I chose to save an inanimate object over a living creature.

And there's the matter that I am of the firm opinion that art being damaged doesn't stop it from being art. It just adds to the story behind the piece.

I love your story and am glad to see the next generation of computer scientists thinking about education. It's a huge problem that is nowhere close to solved. I worked as a founder in the ed tech space for around six years and sold two profitable companies, so hopefully I can give you some insight after checking out the actual game.

I really think you need to introduce each concept sequentially with periodic reinforcement, as it is impractical to expect any student at any level of education to read through an entire embedded Google Doc with instructions before playing the game. I sincerely believe you could take this concept to an actual product if you work on the engagement and adaptive learning aspects.

Just to get this out and validate the concept is an achievement in itself. I worked on all kinds of failed prototypes before finding one that worked. I am sure you guys are going to do great things!
Cover Protocol hack analysis: Infinite COVER tokens minted by exploiting a bug
I was sick in February. At the time covid tests weren't as readily available to be tested but I had many of the symptoms of covid including debilitating headaches like I've never had before. Eventually I recover and test positive for antibodies.

To this day I have issues sleeping and I'm not solely sure if it's anxiety due to pandemic or because of my presumptive case of covid.

It's gotten slightly better in recent weeks but for months now I'd wake up about 30 minutes after falling asleep with a pounding heart and and feeling of extreme anxiety. Not as bad as a panic attack but still not pleasant.
The implication I assume that there would be pushback on Microsoft for doing the same would be because of the possibility of nefarious undocumented changes. What possibly nefarious things could an undocumented ISA extension do?
If you want the government to implement an upper bound for housing prices then you must introduce a housing guarantee at a fixed price. The government will be forced to build housing directly and if it cannot do so it can just change the relevant law that prevents it from doing so and then build the housing or reform the law so that there is no imbalance in regards to commercial and residential property which creates an endless supply of jobs but not enough housing for the new workers.
That's been my grudge too : burning woodchips and categorising as green.
