But, I was wondering...

Is this one of those click-bait article titles that should read:

“In January [, similarly to the last 120 months,] there were more real-estate agents than homes for sale in the U.S.”

Note: I’m referring to the sub-heading of the actual article... not implying OP put the wrong title.
Ooohh you sound like you could out humble brag them. Humble brag off!
It's all a bit "if we assume there is an observer that can make sense of things, then they do indeed make sense of things". Like confirmation bias incarnate.
To expand on that, Crystal's Nil goes hand-in-hand with its union types. So, if you want to allow a function's argument to be either an integer or nil, then the parameter type is "Int | Nil".

It's not entirely unlike how algebraic data types with a "None" case work in the ML family of languages.
I had the same thought. Maybe it's just the crowd I run with, but criticism of gain-of-function research (certainly including informed speculation of a lab escape for this coronavirus) seem very mainstream to me.
I'm very curious what characteristics you place value on then, if you're placing FAANG companies at or near the top of the list. My impression has always been that they would be pretty shitty to work for.
It is a huge risk right now to take on someone that is poor as a renter because of the moratorium. It is completely unsurprising to me that landlords have priced this risk factor in.
You have not provided any proof, merely a hypothesis.

> It is human nature, just like in another great example, the Tragedy of Commons.

As far as I know the commons worked quite well for many centuries, until enclosure that is. Just a brief look at [1] yields:

> A commons failure theory, now called tragedy of the commons, originated in the 18th century.In 1833 William Forster Lloyd introduced the concept [...]

> However, his argument has been widely criticized, since he is accused of having mistaken the commons, that is, resources held and managed in common by a community, with open access, that is, resources that are open to everyone but where it is difficult to restrict access or to establish rules. In the case of the commons, the community manages and sets the rules of access and use of the resource held in common: the fact of having a commons, then, does not mean that anyone is free to use the resource as they like. Studies by Ostrom and others have shown that managing a resource as a commons often has positive outcomes and avoids the so-called tragedy of the commons, a fact that Hardin overlooked.

[...]

> While the original work on the tragedy of the commons concept suggested that all commons were doomed to failure, they remain important in the modern world. Work by later economists has found many examples of successful commons, and Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel prize for analysing situations where they operate successfully. For example, Ostrom found that grazing commons in the Swiss Alps have been run successfully for many hundreds of years by the farmers there.

I have three perspectives here I want to share.

(1) Let's address the glass windows in our own house first and tighten the US policies and culture. Secrecy is not a good idea here. Without even reflecting on Covid, it is clear the author has been dealing with this a while, and the US needs to improve. I am reminded of discussions on the old '50s/'60s nuclear culture...

(2) A year later, it may not be possible for the most honest, the most painstaking, the most independent reconstruction of the Wuhan lab events to properly track what occurred. Nor would it be per se politically doable. It might, however, be feasible for the Chinese official position to commit to an enhanced tightening of policies and culture around lab handling of specimens, in light of current events and looking forward.

(3) To a first approximation (the same one where Pi = 3), I don't care if Covid comes from a lab, a bat, a pig, or a chicken. I care that there are dead people, and that there was massive dysfunction globally & in a multipartisan way in the response, leading to more dead and disabled people...
About half of US hired farmworkers are illegal immigrants, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture.[1] It was only 12% in 1991, but passed 50% by 2000.

My recollection is that these were called Molex connectors in the 1980s. Are DuPont connectors different in some way, or were the names used somewhat interchangeably?
That is by far the worst representation of what happened that I have ever read:

MIT AI lab started it
Then Steele and Stallman wrote the first prod Emacs in 1976.

Then Gosling wrote his Emacs in 1981.
He freely distributed his version. (as was Emacs 1976).

---

Emacs development began during the 1970s at the MIT AI Lab,

Steele and Stallman's finished implementation included facilities for extending and documenting the new macro set. The resulting system was called EMACS,

The first operational EMACS system existed in late 1976.

James Gosling, wrote Gosling Emacs in 1981.
The initial version was freely distributed for free.

Since Gosling had permitted its unrestricted redistribution, Richard Stallman used some Gosling Emacs code in the initial version of GNU Emacs. Among other things, he rewrote part of the Gosling code headed by the skull-and-crossbones comment and made it "...shorter, faster, clearer and more flexible."

In 1983 UniPress began selling Gosling Emacs on Unix for $395 and on VMS for $2,500, marketing it as "EMACS–multi-window text editor (Gosling version)".

Controversially, Unipress asked Stallman to stop distributing his version of Emacs for Unix

UniPress never took legal action against Stallman or his nascent Free Software Foundation,[citation needed] believing "hobbyists and academics could never produce an Emacs that could compete" with their product.[citation needed] All Gosling Emacs code was removed from GNU Emacs by version 16.56 (July 1985)

It is all related, so everything taken together does indeed matter.
When we as consumers insist more on buying locally produced, durable, interchangeable, replaceable, repairable (!) components to build things we're actually likely to use for a long time, we can stem the flow of cargo ships and ditto planes shipping "stupid disposable junk" halfway across the world, thereby limiting all the pollution and waste of (fossil fueled) energy that goes with it.

While we're at it, we should demand to put an end to the senseless hoarding of patents and IP, in particular those that hamper interoperability between components, and for information on interfaces to be made public, so no more proprietary connectors, protocols, APIs, no more artificial restrictions on consumables such as printer ink, etcetera.
I have been tinkering with it off and on.

One thing that I see is that people complain about politics rather than recognizing the natural force it is and how to bend and master it towards your will.

I mentioned this in another reply too, but the ultimate question is whether or not a particular new job/company is worth jumping ship from my current job.

I'd say little doubt, any of those aforementioned companies would be a "yes". I'm open minded about other companies - but again, it all boils down to that question. For Credit Karma and WeWork, where I did get offers, after interviewing there, the answer to that question I arrived at was "maybe" for the former (compensation was very lowballed), and "no" to the latter (weird culty vibes).

It makes perfect sense. It's very popular now to see everything as genetic. That is all our focus. We neglect how decades of being in the same environment with the same incentives wires the brain a certain way.

When you spend all that time disciplining yourself to work (against your own will) and having little time to develop your own interests, you become hard wired to do what is necessary.

When that necessity ceases to exist you no longer have the machinery to move yourself. A career and kids and church and a house and big yard to maintain can leave nothing left of you. It can erase your very identity as your brain is rewritten to subdue the self and pursue work, chores and favors over all else.

That's just my hypothesis anyway.
Perhaps other MSM publications. The specific article here talks about US accidents in high-standards labs, and posits that those same accidents can happen in other countries. It's not attacking China at all. What you're describing doesn't apply to the discussion in this article or this thread, just seems non-productive.

Wuhan is around thousand kilometers away from where this virus supposedly originated from.

But the Wuhan lab did receive samples in 2019 from miners who died in 2012 from an infection of a novel coronavirus that resulted in symptoms very similar to COVID-19.

Expectations of privacy are already pretty well defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectation_of_privacy

You have an expectation of privacy in your own home - but you can't take back what you shared to your friend when you discovered he writes down every conversation on his blog. Intent isn't super relevant.

For the purpose of the wiretap act, 'participant' is unrelated to intent.
But to feel is the core of consciousness/qualia. You can postulate free will as an illusion, but is harder with consciousness.
My prediction: Ransomware will be the scapegoat that leads the way on making the use of encryption a criminal offence. This is exactly what many governments want. Up till now, the best argument against encryption is "we can't see what criminals are doing", but that isn't very tangible for many people. Just wait until a powergrid or water treatment plant in the US is down for weeks due to being "attacked with encryption" (yes, that will be the spin), and you'll have tons of people ready to vote for the outlawing of any and all encryption without a license/backdoor/etc.
I think that financial and technical status are essentially divorced. Good that they're getting money, but on the technical side, it's a rambling disaster.

TB has had the embarrassing Mork backend for ages (took around 14 years to fix; it's not in the released version yet). And the codebase is so tangled that nobody has been able to convert the email writing window into a tab. One window!

Even ignoring the above, the addons compatibility keeps breaking. AFAIK that's a necessity, but as an end-user, the result is an increased alienation from the product.

Ultimately, Thunderbird without addons is an unremarkable product.
> "General rule of thumb: rent if strongly believe you'll be in a place for less than three years, and consider buying if staying longer."

This is a valid rule of thumb only because transaction costs are generally much higher when buying a home than when renting. Typically 6% of the cost is siphoned off by brokers (3% to each side) and the fees people pay to take out a mortgage loan are significant. Fees you pay to start a lease generally amount to only a small fraction of these.
Hi dang,

I am curious to know if this guideline applies only when responding to HN comments, or if it should be applied to source material in article links as well. I've noticed a lot more conspiracy-theorizing comments lately and it's hard to engage when the whole premise of a given comment is accusing someone else of misrepresenting facts.

Thanks for all your hard work, regardless!
Here’s how blacklists destroy your “store of value” argument: Transactions don’t require the receiver’s consent. It’s easy to find large wallets (wallet balance is public record), and then once you’ve carried out your ransomeware attack and gotten paid, your black wallet sends to whatever poor schmuck you want to destroy. Because sends blacken anything they touch, you’ve just turned a lot of money into nothing, at the cost of whatever action it took to get that wallet blacklisted in the first place.

On the contrary. A leak implies that something was contained. Notwithstanding the complete lack of evidence for a leak—and one could waste a lifetime trying to disprove claims that have no evidence-if of natural origin, the virus was already infecting animals and/or people.
The EU also hadn't approved the vaccine when those stockpiles were exported, and it was to compensate for UK domestic production shortfalls which the EU suffered from a few months later due in large part to the Commission delaying the contract.

>Most of Google's users weren't using search engines when Google was created.

I really don't know about your assessment about Facebook but I'd fundamentally disagree, as in the beginning they were capturing the college aged to young professionals. I'd say they fundamentally grew off the back of MySpace users. Myspace was huge and everyone had a page at the time.

Google was a little different as they did help to define and create this space of web indexing, as a lot of early search pages were more directories and portals.
There's likely some actual Nyquist-Shannon ish corollary that will tell you how much higher your scanning res has to be than your printing res, but 2x is probably a safe bet. Not to mention "accuracy" tells an imprecise story. Does it mean that the best case scenario every point is at most 0.1mm from where it should be? That doesn't mean the same thing as "accurately resolves features larger than 0.1mm³".
I think the seemingly high prices are simply where inflation is showing up first. Or at least partially. Pent up demand and Covid throwing a wrench in everyone's lifestyles also likely messed with supply/demand.
I think Zigbee is what IoT should be. It doesn't access the internet, it doesn't clutter the frequency band like my 30 WiFi IoT devices, it doesn't need to be in range (since other Zigbee devices can relay the messages)...

It's a really nice standard, I hope it takes off.

I don't want to add a remote control to my life, the "smart" bulbs are better because I can control them with my phone, watch, and any other devices I might get in the future.

The median household income was $68K in 2019, the highest it's ever been. That's $55K a year after tax. Now you're paying $2,000 in rent. Even if you don't spend a single cent of income on anything else besides a house, you'd still be looking at seven years to come up with that downpayment. Realistically, more like 15 years with expenses, at a minimum. i.e. "Don't buy a house until you're about 40 years old".

> The usual rule of thumb is that you can afford a mortgage two to 2.5 times your annual income.

So for the median family, $140K-$170K.

I'm not sure where the median family lives that they're buying $170K homes that they were previously renting for $2K/month, but it sure ain't anywhere near here.

Not to mention appraisal discrepancies, which require you to have the funds for the downpayment, for the closing, and to cover the appraisal discrepancy dollar for dollar.

But generally, I'm just trying to figure out how we come to the conclusion that the average family is putting anything close to a fraction of $200K to a downpayment.
> They haven’t backed off from global inference.

You might know a lot more than me about the subject, so feel free to correct me, but I think it used to be truly global inference - as in you were expected to write the whole program with no annotations. But now you're required to annotate instance and class variable types, because compile times were becoming intractable.

Reducing the effect that industrial meat production has on the environment is great and it's something we as humans do, improve the negative effects of our behavior when instead it would have far greater effect to change our behavior instead.

Coding can be pretty humbling. Generally speaking there are always more than one way to do it and the best way is not always the most obvious.

The old saying about "sleeping on it" comes to mind. I've banged my head on a problem many times and after a nights sleep got up and realized an entirely different approach that made it easy to solve.

tbh, the smartest thing I've done was learn to stop banging my head and instead start searching for answers. Stackoverflow gets a lot of visits from me nowadays.

To me it would be not such a big deal, but to a pretty, but insecure hacker women - probably yes. As she would then avoid RMS and the FSF. If the FSF is fine with that, fine for them. I am also not joining.

But to me a big deal is, how people are dealing with facts.

Because saying, someone else wrote it and put it up and RMS put it down implies he did not endorse it. People here told me it is fake.

But if he would have left it there for good and only put it down much later after people told him that it is not appropriate... then saying the sign is fake would be lying propaganda to be.

And if someone would have put it there with the purpose of discediting RMS - would tell about about its enemies.

Thats why I want facts. So far I gathered quite some facts about quite some people involved.

But like I said, for all I care, RMS can be total or partial leader of the FSF again. They are not really my crowd anyway, despite myself living and loving open source.
Perhaps it would have burned itself out if it hadn't spread to the market.
That we’re finally seeing some mainstream discussion around this hypothesis should not change the scary fact that months ago governments, scientists and media happily and immediately rejected it as a xenophobic conspiracy theory. The messaging and subsequent ease at which public opinion was influenced should make everyone pause and think hard about other ways they might be being manipulated.
Yes, but why would that help?
The bad stuff is just a consequence of loving someone in a very deep way.
