There is Prop H which recently passed which seeks to expedite the process of opening a business in SF when it goes through the planning council phase. I don't think it's realistic to allow people to get permitting when they don't have an address yet for the business, since the precise business location is needed to assess the business application.
Again, from the specific study in question:

> In this community-based, randomized controlled trial conducted in a setting where mask wearing was uncommon and was not among other recommended public health measures related to COVID-19...

This study did not tackle the effectiveness of masks. It attempted to determine the effectiveness of asking people to voluntarily wear one in a location where masking is not a recommendation by local health authorities.

> expecting more than this and discussing the result of a study that can't really be done in a lab is debating philosophy

Testing mask effectiveness can and has been done in a lab.
The study you’re quoting was a previous study by the same research group, from last year.
> ...than the people building production-grade web apps...

Please don't co-opt the word "production" to mean what you're implying here. Production doesn't mean single-page, reactive, etc. applications, it just means "in production."
I remember the same exact thing being said about Wuhan. That urns were completely sold out, that the gov't was covering it up, just terrible. To date China insists less than 5,000 people died of Covid, though and all of that was conspiracy talk.
Who's Looking for a Cofounder?
I've seen some old posts where people are sharing their startups and talking about desired new cofounders they would like to onboard to take their project to the next level.

It would be helpful to mention what you're working on, where you are located (and whether you need remote / local cofounders), what stage you are in, who you are looking for, and how to contact you.
It could take weeks instead of years to sort this out, SF just doesn't want to do it.
How can Apple claim eSim support if it's their own implementation?
They basically act as a gatekeeper and probably asking for a cut from carriers to use their esim version.

And if in your country no carriers have agreements with them, then you're out of luck.

I think it's misleading to use the esim name.

NT has NTVDM. It worked on many applications up until they added 64 bit into the mix. At which point they never ported it over. Once you move to any 64 bit version you can no longer do that and need a VM or DOSBox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_DOS_machine

Also NTVDM was kind of hit or miss. So if you are using a 32 bit version of any windows you may still get away with running many DOS and win16 applications. But within a particular set of limitations.

Or buyer friendly, presumably. You can't tell which based on the ratio, surely.

>The 2018 median home value in San Francisco was $1,195,700, and the median annual rent was $22,560.//

So it's probably comparing cheap rental properties with expensive owner-occupied properties? That's likely not very useful as a statistic on it's own unless you've got the distribution of both. Better would be making a comparison of the rental price (including charges) vs TCO of ownership for directly comparable properties -- that would be a lot of work.

FWIW 10x price-to-rent isn't far off right in my area of my city in the UK. Houses prices and rental prices are high compared to wages, IMO.

> Development run amok in the city is pretty bad

Legitimate question:

Do you have any examples of 'development running amok' ruining a city (or life for a significant part of a city's residents), that did not involve mind-blowing amounts of corruption?

It may be that I just don't have a proper understanding of what development running amok would hypothetically look like, because I can't even really envision it. What would it look like?

You can vendor the dependencies you use [1].

Its also worth noting that, since crates.io uses github for both authentication and hosting the index, the Rust ecosystem would also be effected if github goes down.
Come to Massachusetts where "Breakdown Lane Travel" is allowed during rush-hour (only in the inbound direction in the morning and outbound in the afternoon/evening and where signposted).

We have reasonable sized pull out areas every mile or so, but the really nasty part is that the on-ramps now suddenly dump you into the moving breakdown lane traffic (which would otherwise be your acceleration / merge lane).

Thankfully, traffic is so bad around Boston, that typically it's all at a standstill anyway.
He probably should have negotiated (ahead of time) with the landlord. The landlord isn't making any money with the building sitting empty, so doing some kind of venture debt or profit share with the landlord w/ lower rent during the permitting phase would have made sense.

The alternative is the landlord had other tenants lined up, in which case the free market problem is more that there is not enough commercial space available in SF (probably true) or that the income from an ice cream parlor isn't sufficient to support a $7300 / month location (which in pandemic times it isn't, hence him giving up).
The only real answer is: Too Many.

This complexity is pushed down to operating systems, compilers, assemblers, debuggers. It ends up causing brutal human time overhead throughout the chain, and its cost effectively prevents security and high assurance.

This more than justifies moving away from x86 into RISC architectures, such as the rising open and royalty-free RISC-V.
Personally, I enable battery saving mode: it prevent any app from using data in the background, so whatsapp won't synchronize with its servers at all unless the app is open.

The drawback is that this behavior can not be enabled on a per-app basis: either all app synchronize, or none. So I don't have new emails either unless explicitly enabled, or any other similar app. The only thing that still works and notify without requiring the app to be open are text messages and phone calls.

I consider that to be a feature, but other might not.
That's not really an issue under normal usage; unused memory _is_ useless. The problem is that in this case Linux has to share memory with another OS.

I think people in the US would generally hold that that's a bit too fast, because at a bare minimum you still want a set of basic inspections. For example:

- Health inspector to make sure that the place is acceptable for serving food (no bug infestations, freezers are operating at a food-safe temperature, proper equipment for hand-washing and cleaning everything)

- Fire inspector to make sure that the exits are accessible and working properly, smoke detectors and other emergency equipment is up to snuff, and that the operators know the allowable maximum capacity of the square footage

- Building inspector to make sure that nobody's knocked down a load-bearing wall or otherwise done any unsafe renovations, as well as to make sure that the shop is following local codes (for example, keeping people from putting up 24/7 flashing neon signs in residential areas)
This is a question I have had too. One place is LinkedIn, but it suffers from the social media issue that it favors pre-digested flashy stuff, many people don't really go there to do a deep read. And it's not really technical (although oddly I do see people posting journal articles and other deeper stuff there sometimes).

You could use Medium, but I don't know how you get anyone to read it without posting it to some social media.

It would be cool to have some kind of HN style post and mod system for well-written stuff. Or some kind of discovery system that doesnt just race to the bottom like social media or search.
Is that a problem for Microsoft? It's not like folks are going to move away from Windows as a result. The reason they run Windows is because that's what they know and that's what's installed on their machine when they buy it. This for the most part eliminates the reason someone would have to move from Windows to Linux.
Not in this case. We already had the connected lawyers due to needing various variances. Since the competitor is technically correct in their original lawsuit, remedying it has to go through all the proper channels. At least, I'm not at the level of influence where superior courts can be bypassed.

Even the town hates my competitor, as he's been wasting valuable resources of everyone, but at the end of the day, the ordinance was what it was.
Yes it does...

We know that after 22 months, Yu still didn't have permission to open a business. We know that his rent was $7k/month. And common sense tells us he needed to rent the place before starting the permitting process.

Therefore SF's system placed a $200k+ burden on Yu. And it's obvious that a 22-month permitting process is unnecessary in almost any circumstance.

So the article establishes that SF placed an unnecessary burden, in the realm of $200k, on Yu.

GDPR applies if you collect data from an EU citizen[0]. However, I'm not clear how they would enforce/collect it -- perhaps by treaty? Or if you show up in the country after the fine has been applied and left unpaid.

So blocking EU consumers is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, as per the worldview of the EU. You're either in it, or you're not.

It's a fairly typical place for a western country to be at this stage of the pandemic. Because of the way the disease spread via inter-country travel from, mostly, Italy and surrounding countries, the developed western world was hit first - and because people have to be tested in order for their deaths to be recorded as Covid-19 related, only countries with a reasonably well-developed healthcare system and economy actually report meaningful death counts. (The US in particular had really widespread testing compared to almost everyone else during the whole time period where it had a widespread Covid-19 outbreak - though the mainstream media gave the opposite impression for partisan political reasons.)

After looking through the San Francisco Planning Department Discretionary Review (Abbreviated Analysis)[1] on this case, I feel like the article in the San Francisco Chronicle did a very superficial job of covering the issues involved. Like many other news stories, there is quite a bit more detail to the story that was not addressed.

Does anyone know if native or near-native disk IO performance is coming to WSL? This has been a pretty big challenge from using it if your use case requires any decent iops. It would be magical if WSL could do physical NVMe pass through for example....
Yes you're right, it is actually ~ $140,400 on rent. Which you have to pay while you go through the permitting process. So while it's not the city that is collecting the money, it is the city policies that are creating the costs.
I must say I am a tad bit confused why the business has a not insignificant social media presence including testimonials if they were never able to open. I understand that marketing is part of running any sort of public facing service these days but that's got to cost a fair amount of spend to build up.
I don't think so. It makes sense that people in an area should have some say in the businesses that open nearby. You probably wouldn't want a nightclub opening up down the road from you. Or if you ran a call center, you might not want an Harley Davidson Custom Exhaust shop to open next door.

Even thought the article buried in the article, the objections to opening were not upheld. But giving people a chance to voice their opinions on new businesses does seem reasonable (and is probably very common).

I'm going to argue no. Unemployed people are not lazy sponges mooching off of an extra, measly $300/month.

The easiest explanation is that teenagers are cheaper to employ for a certain segment of jobs and won't quit when their 5-15 year career job opens back up.

> Since this researcher is apparently not an established figure in the kernel community, my expectation is the patches have gone through the most rigorous review process

I think the best way to make this expectation reality is putting in the work. The second best way is paying. Doing neither and holding the expectation is a way to exist certainly, but has no impact on the outcome.
Being India, it almost certainly isn't a labor capacity.
> the fact you want to "properly review them at a later point in time" seems to suggest a lack of confidence in the kernel review process.

I don't think this necessarily follows. Rather it is fundamentally a resource allocation issue.

The kernel team obviously doesn't have sufficient resources to conclusively verify that every patch is bug-free, particularly if the bugs are intentionally obfuscated. Instead it's a more nebulous standard of "reasonable assurance", where "reasonable" is a variable function of what must be sacrificed to perform a more thorough review, how critical the patch appears at first impression, and information relating to provenance of the patch.

By assimilating new information about the provenance of the patch (that it's coming from a group of people known to add obfuscated bugs), that standard rises, as it should.

Alternatively stated, there is some desired probability that an approved patch is bug-free (or at least free of any bugs that would threaten security). Presumably, the review process applied to a patch from an anonymous source (meaning the process you are implying suffers from a lack of confidence) is sufficient such that the Bayesian prior for a hypothetical "average anonymous" reviewed patch reaches the desired probability. But the provenance raises the likelihood that the source is malicious, which drops the probability such that the typical review for an untrusted source is not sufficient, and so a "proper review" is warranted.

> it means that an unknown attacker deliberately concerting complex kernel loop hole would have a even higher chance got patches in.

That's hard to argue with, and ironically the point of the research at issue. It does imply that there's a need for some kind of "trust network" or interpersonal vetting to take the load off of code review.
C++ templates are extremely useful at a novice level. It's macros that I'd warn against
Based on the post, it sounds like there's some data parsing going on (possibly to present the data in a user-friendly way?), and the parsing step uses outdated versions of software (such as ffmpeg) which have well-documented vulnerabilities in them.
Two very different things are going on to cause the smaller number of IPv6 routes.

One of course is that some Autonomous Systems don't advertise IPv6, either they have no globally routable IPv6 or they only achieve IPv6 via a tunnel and so that's only advertised via their tunnel provider.

But more important, many Autonomous Systems only need to advertise one prefix in IPv6 because it's big enough. Even if your needs grow, because we'd done this before and because IPv6 addresses are plentiful the allocations were deliberately sparse - so your RIR can give you the adjacent addresses, meaning you still only need one route entry for your larger space.

With IPv4 a provider may find itself advertising hundreds or even sometimes thousands of routes to the same Autonomous System since the addresses they need to advertise aren't contiguous.
- the more people that use adblock/sponsor block, the less effective ads are in general (lower advertiser ROI for each ad)

- if ROI for ads drop, ad sellers (eg. youtubers) have to reduce the price charged to advertisers

- given that ad budgets are more or less constant (companies will always need to reach customers) there will simply be more ads, since each ad view is now worth less.

- if ads become completely ineffective (eg. reddit) ads will simply become disguised as content to get past people's filter (aka content marketing, submarine articles etc)
>I'm actually a bit surprised why so many people here think it is.

I would hazard a guess that most of the misunderstanding around the term is due to its ambiguity. I think it's so bad it’s counterproductive actually but that's subjective. It really feels like what they are trying to say is that everyone feels personal agency in their decisions, actions and communication, but the term evokes a concept of being free from threats or risk.

I would suggest that neither of these create high performing teams, they just tend to reduce the pathological behaviors that impede them. They still need to get past the observations of Andy Grove 'When a person is not doing [their] job, there can only be two reasons for it. The person either can’t do it or won’t do it; [they are] either not capable or not motivated.' After all, someone sleeping at their desk day after day could actually be experiencing maximum psychological safety.
Let me be crystal clear then -- there are large groups of people in San Francisco who use intolerance and fear of newcomers as a defense against competition. They use regulatory capture to prevent people from moving here, and from opening businesses here. It's massively toxic behavior.

I find drawing a parallel to Trumpism to be apt, since these are core defining traits of Trumpism. Yet despite all the valid hatred that Trumpism gets, the people abusing the same things in liberal cities get no criticism at all.

> Smaller nuclides have higher total binding energy than the large nuclides

i.e. total binding energy literally goes down as you get to larger nuclides.

> That doesn't contradict every step inbetween being favorable.

Yes, it does. Energy is strictly additive.

> You are adding hydrogen with zero binding energy.

Exactly. You are taking a bare nucleon, with zero binding energy, adding it to a system, and reducing the total binding energy (i.e. increasing the potential energy of the system). By conservation of mass-energy, this requires you to put in energy, and increases the total mass of the system.

A lot of the most common TSLint "boxed" configurations have direct ESLint relatives at this point. For one opinionated example there is eslint-config-standard-with-typescript [1].
