To some extent, but there are definitely regional differences. Living in Boston is just more expensive than living in Houston. Controlling for everything else, Boston just doesn’t have the land or labor available to build houses like Houston can. This makes it cheaper. Then factor in no state tax and generally reduced gov fees of Texas, and it’s a lot easier to have a higher quality of life (in the material sense) in Houston than in Boston. I do think this impacts a number of things, including diversity and reduced barriers to achieving success (Houston is the most diverse city in the country).
The fact that you're using "both-sides" as a verb makes it hard to take you seriously. That is a neologism that exists to prevent people from thinking. As if there are always two sides and one of them is always absolutely right.

I highly doubt Solzhenitsyn was an antisemite based on what I've read of him (there are plenty of Jewish characters). I could be wrong (I haven't read everything) but I strongly suspect that this is one more example of unhinged culture warriors connecting dots based on their preconceived ideas of what is and isn't acceptable to say and think.

Isn't this a bit like "pre-crime”? He hasn't said anything about his colleagues at Apple. He's allowed to think things of them, and allowed to say what he wants (if he wants) later.

We are all potential future publishers of a tell-all.

Apple could have done the smart thing and had him option all future books about his time at Apple for $1.

Re: his past statements: It seems like the baseline assumption is that nobody ever exaggerates their own opinion, changes an opinion, grows as a person, etc. So if there's any proof that you said something unfavorable at any time, well, you're "a dyed in the wool X".

I can see why his coworkers are uncomfortable. I don't see why the knee must jerk so swiftly.
Scale Was the God That Failed
We have already normalized that governments can't properly manage threats like the current pandemic even when they are part of our present. What do we expect for stuff like global warming that doesn't even have the same level of immediacy? Governments, our best bet towards coordination, have abundantly demonstrated their inability to handle these situations. Science can't push harder than economy. They all provide facts, but those of subsistence are always more immediate and have much more weight.

Whether we keep complaining or remain positive and hopeful it's all the same, just learned helplessness. I don't want to incite madness, but the only true coordinators for humanity seem to be fear, disaster and death. You can only get people to run in the same direction if they are running away from something. We aren't feeling the heat enough yet.

We have to find better ways than "regulation" to convert long-term threats into immediate threats. Human rationality does not exist at scale. Adjust reality to compensate the bias or face the consequences.

I prefer to stay in the same domain i.e. payment for a long period of time. There's a reason for this. First off, I will build a far better resume by showing that I am specializing in a niche (payment). Second, you will get to know almost everyone in the domain so you will have no issue in getting a job provided you're decent in what you do.
> Surely someone will point out both can be true but the point is the anti-btc folks seem to be talking out both sides of the mouth

Can you explain how you reach this conclusion? It doesn’t seem to follow.
> My one voice isn’t important enough to change any legislation or actions. I doubt yours is either.

It sounds like you're suggesting human rights (such as the right to privacy) should only be granted to those who really need. Presumably the government would then get to decide who really needs each right, and who isn't important enough to warrant them.

Also, I think you're forgetting cases where people have been spied on and ultimately renditioned or murdered by a hostile government while in a third country. Perhaps Assange and Khashoggi aren't perfect examples of that, but there are plenty of examples of Russian and Chinese dissidents who have been killed or threatened while living in the West.
I would call Colonial Pipeline a _negligent victim_ like most other companies that found themselves in the same situation of being hacked and held for ransom. Negligence stems from the fact that they consider Cyber Security as part of IT sunk costs that they do everything to minimize. Until there are real consequences from personal career costs to CEOs all way to jail time nothing will change. All these security consultants are part of Cyber Security Theater to shift blame away from company leadership and limit the media blast radius.
We agree - useful, accurate, and up to date docs are what increases trust! We're bringing docs closer to the diagrams to visually explain your system in smaller chunks. We've found docs often accompany diagrams, and they become out of date as soon as they're exported! We think instead of diagrams being in docs, docs should be in the diagram.

No hardware Dvorak option? For shame.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Youngstown, the "most affordable place" quoted has decent weather (not California, but not a frigid tundra by any means), is close to major transportation hubs (40ish minute drive to 2 international airports), one of the most beautiful metro park systems in the country (google Lantermans Mill), pretty decent schools in the suburbs, and a burgeoning "hipster-crafts" scene.

It's exactly the kind of place I'd expect to start capturing some attention: in some ways the pandemic may be the best thing that ever happened to that region, because it forces a kind of reckoning around "what things are really _valuable_ in a remote- first world?". CA/SF are great.. but for a lot of people having a great quality of life _and_ having the financial security to pass more on to others or pay for things other than a house that costs 15x as much is a more fulfilling choice.
At some point there has got to be a human in the loop, right? I mean, it’s hard for me to imagine that NLP is sufficiently advanced to automate this. Or maybe the present limitations of NLP systems is what leads to “high-fives” on threads related to Palestinian children deaths but that is accepted as trolling absorbs the energies of pro-Palestinian activists and wastes their efforts.
I'm personally very excited about Megapixels (the camera app) being ported to GTK4. With GTK4's graphics acceleration support, I expect that the UI of these phones will get a lot smoother once most of the apps are running on GTK4.
It is incredibly rich for governments to regulate what can be done with data citizen willingly give up in the name of "protecting privacy". Yet they can monitor our Internet and phone activity without consequence. It is so disheartening watching the EU ruin the Internet. First the effect GDPR was to litter the web with PITA popups and now they want to tell people what to do with their data. The EU cannot collapse soon enough. The weight of the bureaucracy will be their downfall.

That last article is a great comprehensive summary of Rust's features. Will be passing that around, thanks.
>How many folks are essentially creating CRUD apps of dubious value all day long and lying to themselves that what they provide is of great value to society simply because it is compensated well?

Well, I thought about it, my employer wants a CRUD app but is it really necessary? Is there no other way to do it? I mean, if they had to pay Silicon Valley wages it would not be very easy to justify paying that much, so it boils down to why the employer wants the CRUD app, not how much you are being paid.

Well, the first potential reason would be that it is 100% superfluous and the employer is just following a CRUD app trend and doesn't want to miss out. I somehow doubt that this is the case but things are never black and white. In this case the wage is arbitrarily high or low.

The second potential reason is that the CRUD app is replacing an alternative, presumably the problem the CRUD app is solving has to be solved and if it is not done via a CRUD app it would be done manually by office workers. The CRUD app therefore saves my employer the cost of hiring more data entry people for example. I find this to be likely. I can crank out 3 CRUD apps per year. Assuming all three CRUD apps combined increase productivity enough to cut one data entry job (technically they were never hired in the first place) and the app is good for 3 years that means I can charge up to 3 years of salary for one year of work. The benefit to society is that people don't have to waste their life on trivial problems.

The third potential reason is that the CRUD app is the only way to solve the problem, essentially the CRUD app lets us solve a problem that is otherwise impossible to solve. In this case compensation depends entirely on how much income solving the problem brings in and thus my wage is bounded by that income. In this case the wage could be arbitrary as well but it would be tied to solving a problem. I consider this a significant driver of wages in Silicon Valley but the CRUD apps I am writing are not in this category. The benefit to society is that the problem has been solved at all.
Nothing is black and white, I still find it hard to believe that could ever be a non minority view though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail#Con...

>In March 2018, the Authority revised its estimate to $77.3 billion and up to $98.1 billion, pushing initial service to 2029 and services from Los Angeles to San Francisco to 2033

The cost of Ca HSR has gone up to $98 billion. There is no way building even 6 airports could possibly cost that much, and you can build the airports when you need the capacity one at a time and airports support travel to anywhere in the world, not just the handful of other cities in California the rails connect to.

https://www.therichest.com/luxury-architecture/10-most-expen...

> #1: Kansai International Airport - $20 billion

So California could build 5 huge earthquake proof airports in the middle of the ocean including sea wall and bridge for the cost of HSR. It just makes no sense. I'm not opposed to rail or high-speed rail. But the places where better public transportation are needed are mostly in the US North East where density is much higher. Existing rail infrastructure is crumbling in the North East while California asks for Federal money for white elephant boondoggles like Ca HRS. It's infuriating.
Ask HN: Why does Bing show a “Child Abuse Warning” when I search for “mIRC”
I searched "mIRC" on Bing and a huge warning for "Child Abuse Content" showed up as the first result.

It is especially strange since searching for other IRC clients like Hexchat or Pidgin don't show any warnings.

https://ibb.co/ZG9t2rp - here is a screenshot if you don't want to search it yourself.

I found some links claiming that this is a feature that Microsoft added for UK users only, but I'm clearly not in the UK as the screenshot shows

https://www.alphr.com/news/security/383305/microsoft-adds-child-abuse-pop-up-warnings-to-bing

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bing-introduces-pop-up-warning-people-2095760

I'm not at all familiar with the different IRC clients or how Microsoft categorizes these topics - did mIRC or its team ever do or say something that would make it more likely to be used by child abusers? Or is this some kind of a false positive? My guess would be the latter, since I cant think of why an IRC client would set off warnings for child abuse.

I'm using a throwaway account since I don't really want this topic associated with my real name.

Thanks,
In my first team at a certain FAANG company, we would never schedule for more than 4 hours a day of coding per dev. Realistically that’s about the time you have thanks to meetings, code reviews, planning, other administrative activities, and working on automating parts of your job.
Because you don't want your application to become potato on each network hiccup?
Do you have anything public? I’ve been following LLHD for a while; I like the idea of a shared middle end. LLHD’s front end is Verilog/VHDL which are … not great.

Are you translating, or building your own sim runtime?
No. Detroit became a wasteland well within our lifetimes. Whether this happens for California soon or not soon is well outside the realm of "preposterous." Your post is not just off by a word, it is entirely off.
It's like medieval doctors and hand washing.

Fast solutions clearly exist. But somehow everybody ends up using slow Jira.
Absolutely. The enthusiasm effect compensates, but not completely.
Train stations are cheaper than airports. California High-Speed rail line plus a few stations is most certainly not.

They can distinguish whether it was your traffic or hotspot traffic at the billing layer. That doesn’t necessarily mean they can at a legal level, but I wouldn’t depend on this for protection against govt/legal investigations.

Having lived in Berkeley for a few years I would say it is by far one of the nicest places in the USA to live. The food scene is wonderful, the populace is diverse, it’s very bikeable and walkable, and the natural beauty of the hills is breathtaking. If I didnt hate the USA so passionately I would have bought a home in the hills.

Thank all the baby boomers nimbys and the greedy tech bros for ruining california.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Personally, I became interested in Rust through early writing about Servo, a project driven by people who were frustrated by writing a lot of C++ out of necessity (in the Firefox codebase), which reminds me of what you're looking for here. Maybe you can dig up some of that writing, though it may be pretty out of date now.

But the power to set monetary policy is just a restricted version of the power to tax. Creating money is effectively a tax on savings. So why are you OK with taxes in general, but not this very restricted tax?
The latest season of The Expanse featured a character who had been exposed to vacuum revived by an injection of “hyperoxygenated blood” in the arm. This makes me think they just got the method of administration slightly wrong.

In the future spaceship air locks will include a box of emergency oxygen suppositories.

For people digging into what young Joe Ligon was a part of which landed him in prison:

>"We started asking people for some money so we could get some more wine and one thing led to another..."

>He trails off. But he admits the night ended in a stabbing spree in which he was involved, violence which left two people dead and six injured.

He goes on to say that although he admits to stabbing someone, the person survived, so he didn't murder anyone.

You probably end up with a skewed moral compass if everything you’ve seem since you were 15 was through prison bars. People are very good at believing that they deserve whatever situation they’re in.

Every proper Microservice zoo also has the exact same problem of ownership of data and latency. Holding duplicates of often needed parts of the data works surprisingly well and would also be fine with GDPR.
Nah, according to a current supreme court judge, to boof is simply to pass gas.
I find if you're aware about how you define your modules, incremental compiles are usually pretty quick. Yes a complete build can take a while but tools like sccache[0] can help with that in CI pipelines and when getting a new dev environment up.

I'm just making assumptions here, but if an average increases by 2 degrees, that could mean that the outlier maximum temperature can reach 4-5 degrees. For areas where this temperature is already in the 45-50(Celsius), that's probably uninhabitable (at least for poor people).

This will probably mean that there will be a wave of ecological emigration moving towards the more temperate areas of the globe.

So, it's not an uninhabitable earth unless you are poor and live around the dry tropical/ecuatorial areas. And there are a lot of people there.
Here's[1] the IPCC report from 2001. Which predictions do you consider "far off the mark"?

I only checked a few like

- CO2 level, predicted 490-1250 by 2100, 420 in 2020[2].

- Glacier ice loss, projected widespread retreat, recent measurements seems to agree[3]

- Temperature rise, predicted increase of 0.4C-1.1C for 1990-2025, measurements for 2001-2010[4] was +0.56C and 2011-2020[5] shows +0.82C.

- Sea level rise, predicted rise in period 1990-2025 of 0.03-0.14m, status as of 2020 is 0.09m above 1990 levels[6].

These seems to hold up pretty good as far as I can see, maybe even conservative, unless I'm missing something?

Composability bites you badly here. You need that ASAN run, with full coverage, for the entire C++ system, any time any part of it changes, even if the changed element seems irrelevant and clearly safe, the way C++ is defined that doesn't mean it didn't make the whole system unsafe.

But since Rust's Memory Safety guarantees apply to components, the composition of those components also has Memory Safety by definition.

If you have one guy writing incredibly scary to-the-metal unsafe Rust to squeeze out 1% more performance from a system that's costing 85% of your company's burn rate, you can put that tiny component through ASAN hell, looking for any possible cracks in its Memory Safety with all sorts of crazy input states.

But the sixteen other people in the team writing stuff like yet-another REST JSON handler entirely in Safe Rust don't need that effort and when you compose all these pieces together to build the actual product, you don't need ASAN again, you checked that the scary bit was safe and you're done.
VisiCalc Founder Dan Bricklin on His Pioneering Path
It seems to me that this implicit and explicit balance change a lot faster than housing supply, tax policy, etc can keep up with.

For example, several metros in Texas growing 20% in the past decade vs Chicago decreasing in population.

The folks that took up residence in DFW this decade got to take advantage of a high explicit benefit and a stable implicit benefit. Maybe in another 10 years that turns into NIMBYism, intolerable traffic, decline of industries that previously supplied a lot of jobs... reducing the implicit benefit. But DFW won't be able to change its fortunes quickly enough to recover that great implicit/explicit balance in such a climate, and then it'll be the new California.

One way to look at it is an an arbitrage opportunity, where you as an individual or family can relocate much more quickly than a metro area can adjust to balance its implicit and explicit costs.

I'd love to see a list like this of the best place to live for you right now, based on the things you value implicitly and explicitly.
My extreme prejudice against chiropractors notwithstanding, that wallet advice is good. And I believe there's lots of similarly low-lying fruit.

I told a nurse once about my grandmother's extreme spinal hunch. She responded that the tragedy of that particular illness is that usually it can be prevented by regularly exercising your back's range of motion in every direction, and not perpetually hunching over.
