Second eviction by far.

LA is a horrible place to live , had I been 19 today I'd end up on the streets since housing is so much more expensive now. Stop thinking about what "society" will do to solve homelessness. Garcetti has no real ability, nor will , to fix LA. Leave while you still can. I had to estrange myself from my family , but hell. I went from 25k in credit card debt to 40k saved up. When I moved to Chicago my cost of living dropped by 30% , I had an amazing partner and for the first time in a good while felt hope. I can't express enough how horrible LA is.

Leave now !

It is interesting that so many people think of gold diggers, but so far this haven't been a problem (there is a way to report users and the number of reports is very small).

My impression is that FIRE folks are not that good of target. But I understand that this could become more of a problem when the site grows and I have couple ideas how I could tackle it then.
That is just a lot of fun.
The ATX breakout board looks great, thanks for pointing it out! I think that's a good example of an interesting/fulfilling project, since those generally don't exist and the author talks about how it was a direct request from regular people, not some corporate directive.
My goodness you all are so obsessed with Taylor Lorenz.
Aren’t most GCs going to family-based immigration? Or that’s on top? Those are two very different paths to immigrate to the US.
Not too long ago, Facebook took out a full page ad against Apple to gaslight consumers that anti-tracking was harming small business.

It would be interesting to go through a modern college level music theory textbook and break it down into which of those 3 things each concept falls into. I can't imagine getting past maybe the first chapter.

I suppose it works for Apple subscribers?
Sorry I had confused your statement to mean shipping physical currency about.

your clarifications were helpful
> print(x[0]) // 5, 6 or 10?

Do you mean `print(*y)`? You just assigned to `x[0]` so its value should not be in question.

Also

> if it's the latter, resizing the map invalidates the pointer, so it must be updated somehow.

It doesn't (have to) invalidate the pointer though. When resized the map's content get copied to a new backing buffer, the pointer can keep pointing to the old buffer. That's basically the same behaviour as slices: when a slice resizes, a new backing array is allocated, the contents get copied to the new array, and the slice is retargeted to the new array. There can be other slices pointing to the old array (it's of course a very bad idea to update slices to shared arrays, but Go will let you do it).

Improve quality and lock down everything is an option however it will take a long time for them to win back the trust. Personally I spend around $1000 each on buying books, some of which can go towards the news papers.

For magazines I use an app called Magzter its similar to Spotify. However only looks good on an Ipad.
good idea is.
No, that does not cause a heap allocation on its own. If other lines of code in that function caused a pointer to that value to escape the lifetime of the current function's stack frame, the compiler would determine that it has to be heap allocated instead.

I believe the person you are replying to was making a confusing point about some hand wavy notion of "any kind of allocation", which includes stack allocations... which are determined at compile time, not with "alloca".
I agree with you. I remember the early days of Paypal. It was back when buying something online often meant using a website you'd never heard of and weren't sure you trusted with your credit card number. Getting a few bucks from Paypal helped convince people they weren't a scam and could be your internet payment method.
It does work well and it is not hard to clean. It is important to put the grinder, housing, disc and blade, in the freezer before use. Both the grinder and the meat need to be cold to prevent the fat from melting out of the meat due to the heat generated by the grinding.

I've not tried to grind more than two or three pounds at a time.
Very helpful contribution to the conversation...
People have been talking about saving local news for more than 20 years. And the economics just don't work for the most part--whether in most cities or in smaller towns.

I live in about a 7,000 person town. Let's say half the people would pay $20/year for a local paper--which we had at one point. That's wildly optimistic I know. Throw in some advertising. But I'm guessing you're still something under $100K/year. So you end up with just Facebook and NextDoor and no one actually doing reporting as such.
I think that's an interesting point. Do you have a source for your statement, that most of the research happens post mortem?

It makes sense to me that non-lethal cases wouldn't be discovered, as it's probably prohibitively expensive to screen for non-lethal/dormant infections. It could also be that the progression is so slow for most people, that they die from unrelated causes before the disease becomes a problem (this is pure conjecture on my part)
HN is more about tech than what any given financial instrument is doing over some period of time.

I think there is a wall of acceptance too tall for crypto to become accepted by "normal" people (aka non-technical and non-finance people). There are still people using checkbooks as their main source of paying for things. Another huge barrier is the volatility.

Maybe discussions about the tech - which fundamentally hasn't changed in a decade right? Or the societal impacts/challenges is more worthwhile than "hey do you like $crypto_flavor?"

Once mining was out of my personal reach, I have pretty much not paid any attention to it. So I'm neither pro nor con, and I bet there are a ton of people also in that same middle area.
I mentally tune out anyone who uses the word "elitist". To me, it's one of the clearest signs that they're arguing using prejudices rather than evidence.
>The solution, sadly, seems to be mass culling and centralization. The world is connected and nobody needs local newspapers anymore.

We do need local papers though, large papers like the NY Times and WaPo aren't going to cover local politics or spend money on investigative journalism of issues that aren't (inter-)national.

Consolidation in the news industry is a boon for corruption everywhere.
Agreed, should have mentioned that too, and these investors do seem to be focused on meeting Paris Agreement commitments.
Are you aware of the Janko keyboard?
> No PHP, Java or maintenance work.

I can understand not wanting do maintenance, but I also wonder: How much is there to be made from dealing with all that legacy stuff from the last 20 years? I suspect it’s a lot.
I don't see a single RCT among the reference list, maybe I overlooked it?

Case studies, simulations in labs and models do not hold a candle to the findings in an RCT when it comes to trying to understand and predict reality.
Of course, thanks for your thoughtful question!

The short answer is that nobody knows for sure ... yet. Regulatory bodies, NGOs, and ESG-focused activist and impact investors are actively developing frameworks and methodologies for total life cycle GHG accounting. [1] and [2] are a couple of examples in the US from around the time the Paris Climate Agreement was signed. This area is evolving quickly as momentum has built over the last few years for a global approach to getting to net-zero emissions. We keep a close eye on this and continuously evaluate the latest developments in the context of product development ideation.

If what you meant is that interest is fully accounted for by the lender taking the risk that the borrower will default on the loan then what you are saying is nonsense.

While yields over the past year have been rather low at about 2% due to some very unusual circumstances, and T-bill rates are essentially negative at a mere 0.17% nominal yield, US corporate AAA bonds have a long-term average effective yield of over 4%[0] with essentially no chance of default. This is considerably higher than inflation and nearly risk-free to the investor. These corporations could instead have saved up the amount of the payments and had that money at the end of the bond period, but they wanted the money now rather than later, and that is why they're paying you interest.

The HP/Agilent/Keysight power supplies have service manuals and, more importantly, are designed to be serviced. Most consumer electronics do not and are not.

My success rate on random consumer electronics is pretty good, firmware problems notwithstanding, but then it turns out something was glued or even ultrasonically welded or requires an alignment jig or was just designed by a madman and is impossible to reassemble.

I've even been in the situation where something that I was on the design team for is busted and I know exactly what the fix is because I know that product but the assembly is one-way and so there's nothing I can do. (In this case the product required an IP rating and low cost, so ultrasonic welding it was.) It's very frustrating.
>Would breaking up big tech also bring back the local news room?

For literally small-town (vs. smaller cities), local news has been an issue for decades.

NomadList is Hacked!
Hello, I just entered the NomadList site and found a small ad that offered a good discount for only $2 and you get most of the paid benefits
I logged in and paid, then this message appeared to me:
"Thanks, your credit card was NOT charged and NOT saved. We're testing new products and pricing on Nomad List and you were part of the test. Thanks! We'll now redirect you to the real Nomad List sign-up page."
Then I knew that I had been hacked, perhaps, let me verify the site’s domain, so it was strange, unknown, and not previously available. https://checkout.store

Do you have a link for the study?
If the person made manager is an idiot, you go to upper management with proof, focusing on particular actions, and you do it in a careful way.

"Hey, I wanted to raise up my concerns about X. I mentioned it to (manager), but I'm not entirely certain I communicated it effectively. If we don't do Y, Z will happen". Expect upper management to talk to the manager about it, and expect the manager to try and downplay the concern (or if they're treacherous, express outrage that you didn't talk to them about it; have proof of the conversation if that's a concern). If it doesn't lead to change and blows up, it will be noticed.

Better still - if you have anonymous surveys (most companies do), lambast the manager there (politely), and you place the impetus to change things on upper management there (provided a majority on the team agrees).

The reality is that upper management put the manager there -because they trust them-. They barely even know you. That's the reality. You can still talk to them, but you can't come off as though you're trying to undermine your manager. If upper management's response is to tell your manager "deal with it", you clearly came across as trying to undermine your manager; you're a problem. You just made it so it's your job or your manager's, since you just burned that trust, and in a public way that upper management is now aware of. A good manager will fire you because of the effect you're going to have on team morale. A bad manager will fire you because they feel threatened.

This isn't about what is hypothetically better, this is about what the reality is. The reality is that management is all about trust (really, working in groups is all about trust); upper management has to trust middle management, and middle management has to trust the ICs. Your bypassing your manager is going to look like a breach of trust with your manager (i.e., why didn't you talk to them and work it out with them?). Your claims may be right, but being right doesn't equate to being effective, nor does it excuse being stupid in what you do about it. This guy not only doesn't sound in the right, he also was stupid in how he approached it.

As a slight addendum, too - the reality is that managers that are 'stupid' may still be valuable to higher ups. The business is not evaluating managers the same way ICs are. If the manager makes a decision, overruling the ICs, and the ICs raise their concerns about the decision (NOT the manager), carefully, politely, and the decision leads to a bad outcome, upper management will notice. But I've had decent managers who were technically a bit clueless, but who knew to let the ICs make the decisions themselves; the team succeeded. You can have stupid managers who still run effective teams; if they're actually bad managers, upper management will notice. It may or may not be before you've made plans to leave yourself, but the reality is you can't force a manager to be replaced; you can only work to move yourself (to another team, or to another company), or wait for it to be noticeable and be careful to control the narrative.

You're just so right! I'm expecting to take on a roughly 14 week study course to fit the work required into the time I have after I've put my son to bed and around my day job. Oh yeah ... and that podcast I started about professional development in software engineering.

(...and, and, and...)

But you're SO right.

I expect that publicly committing to internet-strangers that I'm working on the course, producing materials for them &, having a scheduled weekly discussion around the topics will help with both learning the content AND keeping us all motivated.

Your initial comment was one of the things that helped me come to those conclusions, so genuinely thank you, kind internet stranger for sharing your wisdom.
Of course, but if it's part-time and full remote then it doesn't take away most of your day/life and I would have no problem with that. I also do translation work which can be tedious at times but I really enjoy it because I can do it from anywhere and just a few hours per week.

The "needs to be interesting" part is more tied to the "pay what you want" thing.
The caliphate series was so well done. I instantly became a fan of Rukmini Callimachi. Then RCMP released that Abu Huzaifa's story was fabricated. It took NYT 2 years to admit their mistake and return their reward. The podcast was not amended nor was there any press release from Callimachi about this. This is when I ended my NYT subscription.

I still view NYT as excellent journalism, but with such questionable practices, that I am comfortable working around their pay wall instead of supporting them.

> There’s no evidence that the deal directly affects coverage in either the news or editorial departments. Before the Facebook News deal, the Times famously published an op-ed titled “It’s Time to Break Up Facebook,” by Chris Hughes, a cofounder of Facebook turned critic. And since the deal, columns from Tim Wu and Kara Swisher, among others, have been similarly critical. In December, the editorial board welcomed a lawsuit calling for Facebook to be broken up.

It's kind of a throwaway passage in the article but it feels like a crucial point. Maybe I'm wrong but "buying off" to me strongly suggests something along the lines of a bribe. We're going to give you this cash, nudge nudge, wink wink, maybe that negative stuff you print about us goes away. My question is: is this actually happening?

The core conflict here isn't new, surely. Newspapers have taken advertising money from news-making companies since time immaterial. The question has always been whether that money affects coverage. And so far it seems like "no", or "not yet". And there's a very worthy debate to be had here, much as there always has been about advertising in news media, but the headline doesn't do that debate justice.

Capitalism/trade is generally morally good for all consenting stakeholders (with a few exceptions such as taking advantage of addictions) and morally ambivalent for everyone else.

That ambivalence for parties outside of the consenting exchange can lead to negative or positive externalities.

Ideally these negative externalities are banned (if they're too extreme, such as with lead pollution) or taxed.

I wish more adults understood the above. Capitalism isn't always an unadulterated good (for people outside of the exchange) but it mostly is positive-sum good for people within the exchange, and we need government to implement taxes that prevent the former and otherwise mostly stay out of the way for the latter.
