It's not worse if there is cost-sharing.

And as I said above,

> that is exactly what we want! A price signal to the market to build more housing to accommodate everyone who wants to live there including displaced communities!

Inevitably, trying to keep displacement from happening is going to increase prices for newcomers. The question is whether we want to do that in a way that incentivizes increasing supply or one that keeps people out.
That's just not true. Please don't make things up.

Here are two (abridged) definitions from the Oxford dictionary:

1. conforming to the law or to rules

2. make legitimate; justify or make lawful.

You're choosing to ignore the verb make in the second definition, describing the act of conferring legitimacy on something, which necessarily implies that it was previously lacking.
Just because supply is constrained by regulations doesn't mean that pricing isn't driven by supply and demand. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
That’s the use case where it shines, but it can be an effective part of “regular software” as well.

It’s a hammer, and if it’s a good fit for your particular nail is very dependent on it’s shape.
When I was a kid I always wanted to go up to the top but I was afraid that it would turn upside down and I'd fall on my face. I still regret not trying it.

How is this even sensible and there is no way the Chinese government will ever let a non Chinese firm control their infrastructure so why is this not stopped. What politicians are making money on this?

Woah. This is a huge red flag for any company or enterprise.
That's interesting. Maybe it's more different than I would have imagined. At least it would seem to give some recourse if the manager is a tyrant.
Yeah I wouldn't go down the local stack path. IMHO, you should develop/test against real AWS services, and it falls on the tooling to make that experience fast/smooth.

I posted elsewhere in this thread but checkout SST (https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack), it lets’ you work on your Lambda functions live.

Think of it like your Lambda functions are Live Reloaded as you make changes to your code. You don't need to mock AWS services locally, and you don't have to wait for CloudFormation to deploy your changes.

I'd like to remind everybody of the Snowden revelations.

Maybe the real issue is, that US intelligence agencies are not able to force Huawei to add backdoors into their equipment.
Do you even know how businesses are supposed to operate in China if they’re from the outside? My understanding from a security friend is there are all these hurdles and the Chinese government wants access to networks and source code for anything that’s operating within the country.

Also, there have been plenty of stories on HN where American businesses are ripped off by China knockoffs and there’s no way to really sue them or stop them in court. China has its claws in everything.

Everything that’s based out of China should be considered an entity working for the government. Even Huawei

I wish there was some way to fix the incentives so people valued growth properly.

Currently the incentives are broken. If you buy in you’re incentivized to limit any future growth to capitalize your ownership of restricted supply. This takes many forms, but zoning, “neighborhood character”, “environmentalism”, noise, shadows, etc. - it’s all about supply restriction.

If there was a way for everyone to get the increased value that came from growth more explicitly then I think the political incentives would shift. You’d still have to overcome some status quo bias, but at least there wouldn’t be a direct economic incentive for owners to restrict supply.

No idea how something like this could be structured.

At least new RHNA numbers seem good, I’d also like to see something that revokes prop13 protection for localities that block new housing. If you’re going to fuck everyone else over, you should at least have to pay for it.
Firefox has a reader mode also, but sometimes the reader icon doesn't appear. I'm not sure if this is based on some kind of "no reader mode" preference from the site, or something else.

I generally agree, companies should pay for their externalies.

The efficient way to do that is to tax companies and use the tax dollars to fund public services like fire departments. Expecting Tesla to send in their own firefighters when a Tesla catches fire would be ridiculous. Public services are good, and the method for funding them is well established.

If you look at it on a map, it is very odd. The address where happened is maybe 200 meters into the cul-de-sac, which requires a hard right turn to enter. The crash site isn't very close to the right turn. And the street itself isn't long, maybe 300 meters total.

Trying to imagine how it was going fast enough to cause this, well after a right turn, with nobody in the driver's seat...isn't easy. Occam's razor is hard to apply, because I don't see a simple explanation.

> however once you legalize something you can regulate it.

Yes, but no one haa found a way to regulate it thst doesn’t result in an apparent increase of trafficking activity compared to prohibition.

Again, I’m pro-legalization and subscribe to the whole list of reasons I cited upthread for not considering that appearance decisive. But it makes legalization a hard sell.
It kind of does. Unless it is by far the biggest issue any slack in X created by legislation will only feed the biggest issue.

The biggest issue in housing is governments blocking construction to enrich existing residents.

Without fixing that, nothing can change. You can only create short-term slight easing.
My approach is to think about the base salary as the "real salary" and the bonus as "lottery".

I negotiate the base salary as high as I need to make. When discussing bonuses, I politely pretend to be interested, but what I actually think is "this is just some imaginary number, that maybe I could get if I win a lottery, which probably is not going to happen".

My family budget is calculated on the base salary. If I get a bonus, I will probably immediately move it to a savings account, or maybe use it as an extra payment on mortgage, to get it out of sight.
In a laboratory, rats don't have to work for food -- if the experiment is designed correctly. Hopefully, the only variable was fast food vs. "normal" rat food.
That pastebin leaves out the fact that C's spartan approach and extreme simplicity allowed C to become the most popular programming language in the world already in the time of K&R, a book still renowned for it's clarity and low mental baggage required to onboard onto a programming language.

The pastebin also left out that Bjarne Stroustrup developed C with classes, and the C, as a backward compatible superset of C to take advantage of C's unrivaled popularity.

We all can agree that the science and art behind programming language design progressed a lot in the four decades where we enjoyed C. However, it feels a kin to rewriting history to depict C as a subpar language that was poorly designed and had little to no redeeming qualities, when facts speak for themselves.

But what previous thing is most analogous to batteries on cars? Cellphones and hoverboards are so much tinier. Maybe this isn't the same issue specifically, and some scale of government can require a tax to fund e.g. more education or training.
There's many old videos on media.ccc.de with very low quality, standard definition camcorder and without slide capture or at maximum grainy vga captured slides.

One of the three deviated and searched for nappies online prior to the trip.

Rather than relying on external people to make judgement, you could test the hypothesis yourself: write on paper a phrase. Spend one week without ads and document all ads you see. Spend second week saying word N times per day. Also document all ads you see.

Ask N people to do this and report your findings, then you might provide statistical insight and validate your hypothesis.

Otherwise, who's to say one of those students didn't Google it before the trip?

Does anyone have any ways to improve the design of the above experiment?

In this thread: people who assume ad targeting systems are sophisticated enough to know what you buy at the chemist, while still stupid enough to recommend something you've already bought.

OP probably googled something related before going out to buy the item :)
I didn't find the jand-waving analogies persuasive, but it hadn't really struck me before how extraordinary it is that DNA uses a code for proteins (3-base).
Mildly annoyed that they gloss over terms like high fat, high calorie, and sugary as one blob called the western diet.
Do you know companies actually send data to Google (and Facebook) to target ads?

Its common and help companies target clients with ads on the internet in general (YouTube, sites, etc).

It works like that:

- The Chemist wants to sell things online or physically.

- They pay google for ads for their products on sites related to its business lines or keywords about its niche.

Google then show their ads for people in general, people interested on those subjects or to people visiting sites about those subjects.

Interest is determined by search history and navigation (every google ad in a site (chemist or not) help google know you were there).

Then the chemist want to target past customers with more specific ads (like reminding people of items in theirs carts):

- They send google ads information about clients and past physical or online purchases / interactions.

Google then match the user with its own database and connect the sent data with its own data.

- Now the Chemist benefits from the google (because google can find you online)

- Now other google clients benefit from this data (because now your google hidden profile is more accurate about your interests and habits)

- Now Google benefits from that because it can use the purchase data to hone its models about ad-to-spend.

The chemist also want to pay google a fraction of the purchases if the client saw an ad.

- Google uses information sent in realtime by the Chemist and other companies, model this data and determine which people, sites and subjects have a bigger probability to turn an Ad into a sell.

I have myself done that in the past and Facebook was quite accurate at turning ads into course subscriptions.
Nice article. But I'm sad about how some morons reacted about the last paragraph.

Do you ever get irrelevant ads? I certainly do. Multiply that by billions. You're going to find someone getting ads irrelevant to them.

They could also have looked up something relevant to nappies, stayed in a house (and used internet there) where the owners have a baby, etc.
what about POCO libs mentioned above for network and IO applications?
Not at all, IMO.

I did a little bit of reasoning after reading this thread (I fucking love paternosters), and thought that any measure you could take to improve the safety or efficiency would likely have a detrimental effect. For example, if you did decouple the carriages at the floors, then there would be a period of accelleration where embarkment would be much more dangerous. People would still attempt to jump onto the carriages during this phase, because we can't avoid people being people. I know for sure I'd take that risk.

I think the way they're run now (slow and steady) is ideal, and investing heavily in sensors so they can stop and restart quickly elevates this. Overengineered solutions about coupling and (god help us) doors will probably solve a couple of minor issues and create a few new major ones.

Yes. But the key finding in this study seems to be that, when consumed early in life, the "western diet" makes the mice stupider throughout their lifespan, even if they are later fed normal diets.
I posted this previously, but it was flagged, perhaps in reaction to the political-seeming original headline. However, it is worth a look because it is supported by robust data collection and documents a strong and consistent correlation with significant public health implications.
First off, good work! It is always nice to help people deal on this (sicked and badthought) platforms.

Anyhow, you should check also if a "tessera sanitaria" is considered a PHI since it includes the "codice fiscale" (and if I recall correctly, it is used often in "fascicoli sanitari" to identify an individual).

But well, I'm not a lawyer either.
Is there not a switch that you can flip in electron saying "only run JS code from external files where URL origin == app archive"?
Limiting external web requests to only your own domains would also fix this for the "basically Mozilla Prism" class of electron apps.

That seems like it would make XSS basically impossible for these apps and surely easier to adapt to than a full sandbox. Pretty much the only attack vector left then is exploiting various media/data formats to gain proper RCE - but how is that any different than a usual desktop app?
As someone who started on julia first and then moved to elixir:

If you're doing computational/numerical stuff, stick with julia, for now. You really can't do that elixir, not today, and maybe not for at least another year or two. It will likely never be as good as julia since computation is not first class in the vm it runs on.

If you're doing or planning or doing anything with web, or orchestration, go with elixir.

Third party cookies, love them or hate them, have been with us for a long time, and simply dropping them would not be viable without the long phase out. And a long phase out is not something around which you can form a singular rallying cry.

FLoC is a new thing which is just being rolled out, so it's a lot easier for people to resist adding a new thing that makes the internet more crappy and less private.

I think it's unnecessarily fatalist to say that all of this will continue to happen so what's the point of resisting it. Public awareness and negative opinion of the pervasiveness and creepiness of internet tracking continues to grow, and advocacy against tracking mechanisms helps create the type of groundswell which could actually shift public policy to forbid such tracking.

Google specifically is catching some heat for potential antitrust problems, so raising a ruckus about Google abusing its dominant browser position to cram FLoC into the internet is more likely to have positive effect than ever before.

This is really not good safety culture. I'm sure it's not the same experience when a pilot practices emergency procedures in a simulator vs in a real emergency, but it's still helpful.

Your point is maybe that the simulation is bad. But I think it can be helpful nonetheless. Even if the simulation is "you have a battery fire in front of you. Tell me what you would do?"
This kind of ignorance about the CCP machine and its surreptitious control over any and every company from China has led to the current situation where China is committing a genocide out in front of the world without any consequence. For starter, I would suggest reading the book 'The Party'.

That's a pretty weak argument regardless of your stance on self driving cars. Student driver records aren't meaningful because we don't have enough data to make a judgement. We have lots of data on self driving cars. There are other ways to cast doubt on self driving car records but this isn't one of them.
suppose the 2 plates have the same dimensions, and you start grinding, by rubbing them over each other with dilute paste,

then part of the time the edges are uncovered, while the centers are nearly always covered,

so the centers should grind faster. and both try to go concave,

this is however self-limiting: if the centers are ground slightly more than the edges, then the edges protrude and would grind faster again to catch up.

the used motions translating and rotating in 2 dimensions, result in spherical surfaces being the only solutions, concave and convex, flat and flat, and convex and concave.

its just that because of the initial phenomenon (the centers trying to grind faster than the edges, because the edges are unexposed part of the time) that you get spontaneous symmetry breaking and you get a concave and convex surface pair.

this unstable equilibrium at flat can be made stable by using 3 surfaces, A,B,C and going through AB, BC, CA, and repeat, so that the only valid solution becomes an optical flat (but this is not how your window panes are made, they simply float liquid glass on a molten lead bath)

"One of the three deviated and searched for nappies online prior to the trip."

This is a hypothetical which was deliberately excluded when they decided to run the experiment. These are intelligent young people acting in good faith to test if they're being spied on. Why would they have googled nappies?

I'm sorry but I don't find that explanation convincing at all.
I agree; at the very least it'd be nice to see less fear-mongering.

Especially with modern, acculturated tech, the democratic world ought to be doing acrobatic flips and twists off each and every "where'd Jack Ma go" springboard news event that comes out of modern China. Those are leverage points, they are the dragon's missing armor plates.

Tech comparison alone though...if you make it out to be a logistics-only game, as many in government do, then I can see why things would get depressing fast. Tech & culture integration is a huge accomplishment of the modern world and we ought to leverage it, even in the service of shoring up or solving logistics issues.
