> I’m skeptical about counting international immigrants here. International immigration is a function of a very specific thing, in California’s case a measure of H1-B sponsor companies.

Most years, California has had more net inbound (not gross) international migration than the national H-1B cap. You are greatly exaggerating the role of the H-1B in California stats.

> If Indians come to California so they can get an H-1B from Facebook, but their kids them move to Tennessee because of poor quality of life in California, then that’s consistent with the “exodus” theory in my opinion.

Lots of California international immigration is family-based, often with sponsors who themselves immigrated and went through the whole process in CA.

I currently pay this price for several of the Patreons I support, I'm not sure what makes this any different. I'd certainly rather throw money at a small handful of good content creators; quality over quantity, and my time is limited anyway.
If you’re not growing you’re dying.

The thing about states like New York and California is the the fringes rot while everything is great in the core. The areas that are doing gangbuster business may be healthy at the moment, but other areas are dying.

I don’t know California well, but I know New York, and that upstate and western NY have been in free fall for years with some exceptions. Industry left in the 80s… cities like Syracuse are husks. Agriculture has been in decline for a long time and dairy, once the strongest ag industry, is in a death spiral as industry consolidation and subsidized fake products take over. Even NYC is not as resilient as it was… financial services pay the bills much more so than in the past.

California is obviously different, but I can’t imagine there aren’t parallels. Once the bell-weather tech giants start diversifying their physical locations that’s going to have a real impact.
Yeah but how does this buzzword-laden solution solve the analog hole?
Gotcha, I'll poke around, thanks! What do you use for inbound mail processing? Do you run your own mail server? I was looking to process TheOCC.com inbound emails for some options trading stuff I was doing but never decided on a solution.
You don't know how 4chan doxx works.

There is no doxx going on in /g/, you'll get banned for it.

Instead people embed links in images and posts right before threads necro to discord servers etc... And people who have too much time on their hands that frequent for example /g/ organize the doxx there.

I've reported and got enough of those taken down to say that it's very probable they actually did doxx.

Beyond that it they've filed a police report that instantly makes it quite credible.

Also I don't see why someone who doesn't use C professionally isn't allowed to fork it. Forking a project is more about building a community behind the fork than anything else.
This reminded me of those Facebook status updates that people used to post back in the day in which they forbid Facebook from using their data lmao
> Why don't book publishers use a license that forbids fair use?

They couldn't do it with a license, which only imposes conditions for the license to be valid. Fair use applies even if the copier has no license at all.

Potentially they could do it with a contract. A license is not a contract and imposes no covenants on the parties.
It would be nice if Peertube wasn't developed using Nodejs.

Space debris is an ever increasing problem. Earth based tracking works on baseball-sized and larger objects. But there are far more marble-sized and larger debris which can't be tracked but pose massive danger.

Perhaps, on-board debris detection and avoidance systems will become a new and essential field. In the same vein, improved redundancy design and self-healing for systems could mitigate unavoidable damage.
Nest isn't exactly a profit center for Google though. Presumably it makes sense as a foothold into the smarthome/IOT industry which might become a big surface for ads and they wouldn't want to lose that opportunity (like how some companies have been late to web or late to smartphones to their detriment).
It's more that, if "amateurs"/volunteers can replicate this, it means OpenAI doesn't have much of a moat.

(OK, I admit that it wouldn't have been possible without Google's donated TPUs. But the cost isn't so outrageous that it's out of reach for any reasonably funded startup).
I'm curious if anyone knows of a good way to visually compare fonts with each other?

Specifically, is there a good way to generate font sizing, character spacing, line spacing for both sets of fonts such that they're visually as close as possible?

You can swallow whatever illusion you being fed by your local politician, close your eyes and assume it's a reality. You're intended audience.

Tens of thousands of former californians ain't buying more of their taxes and neither more of their BS any more.

Where voting with hands doesn't help - people are voting with their feet.
And on top of that, the property tax system makes it really hard to move into a different (even much smaller) place when you're in your retirement years. Rhat has changed recently to be a bit better (people over 65 now have a lot more flexibility in transferring their existing property tax assessment to a different property), but I think that only serves to drive your point home that things can and do change over time, policy-wise.

California's larger number of domestic outmigrants tend to be lower income than the smaller number of domestic inmigrants. The people coming in are more likely to be software engineers, the people going out more likely to be the warehouse workers (or, even more likely, retirees.)

Top CBD Oil Applications and How We Benefit from Them
CBD stands for Cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is one of the many cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant’s makeup. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive. This means that you can take CBD without experiencing a “high” but you can still enjoy the cannabis plant’s benefits.

CBD oil is pure CBD, extracted from the cannabis plant. There are many health benefits that can be derived from consuming CBD, including reduced inflammation and pain.
Comments like this make me wonder how misunderstood a lot of the crypto space is and how little many know about it.

It's very normal in finance to call financial offerings, lending, loans, etc. products.

Some DeFi products offer nice rewards even - like somewhere around 12% pa for more risky, but about 6% pa for low risk products.

We are far from close to mainstream usage and early adopters probably will benefit the most.
That's actually much smaller than I expected for SF. 1.39% isn't really a lot at all; even in absolute number terms it's something on the order of 10,000 people.
And it's simply amazing that functools doesn't fill this gap.
But that isn’t the choice right? The choices here are meddling from just an American executive or from both an America executive AND Indian government.
I agree with most of this and did this all myself to also lose 30 lbs over the last half year.

The only think I'd change is that starting with only 1500 calories a day might not make sense, it really depends on your starting weight / calorie consumption. Someone regularly consuming 3500 calories will have a really hard time going down to 1500, plus they'd lose way more muscle mass than they otherwise could.

I'd advise tracking calories for a week, then just eating 500 calories lower for two weeks as a start.

Ecological niches don't just go unfilled y'know. That grain is still in the field and there are birds who want to eat it.
It's not nonsense, it works. But yeah, PeerTube is a good alternative too!
This is something they're considering, too, and part of the reason that it's recommended to put away your bird feeders in impacted areas.

But, mostly, they're concerned that whatever's going on is contagious and could potentially spread when birds congregate at feeders. It's hard to convince birds to social distance.
FWIW, in the NZ context, AFAIK there are no tax advantages for NZ's investor visa schemes (over whatever all NZers enjoy). And NZ is far from a tax haven.
> The article makes this sound like a massive detriment to free speech. Companies removing content on their own platforms makes sense.

Strongly disagree. This is how China does it: they won’t tell companies what exactly to censor, but the companies will be punished if they don’t censor what the government wants to be censored in retrospect. It is much worse than governments forcing censorship explicitly, because otherwise companies are led to guess at government intentions and will be very conservative in what speech they allow.
Do you not count your ISP's DNS server as "some external service" Where did you get "third party" from?
Yes, but the point is that the tenant doesn’t want to break the lease then, but the landlord does. 12 month leases protect the tenant from rent hikes as much as they protect the landlord from losing a tenant. If legislating easy breaking of the leases results in removing landlord protection, the landlords will stop offering 12 month leases as they confer no benefit to them, and will only offer month to month lease. Then, you’ll be able to break lease easily too, but so will the landlord be able to kick you out on the month notice.

In this case, the data I am talking about are the polls. Of course, there's a lot of methodology that goes into designing the polls and the data collection process, but those were basically solid and importantly, not subjective.

> I’d also suggest that people who have an agenda to promote will often attempt to blur the line as much as possible between empirical measurements, and their own opinions about what they’re supposed to mean.

This ran rampant in all those cases (Trump, BoJo, Brexit), I agree.
I'm not arguing that your real-life experiences aren't real, just that they may not be representative.

My lived experience is somewhere in the middle: I've seen some high earners leave, but more high earners stay. Based on this study, it seems my experience might be more representative of the whole.

Also not sure why you're taking this combative, condescending tone. Seems like you have an axe to grind and are emotionally attached to your position for some reason. But it does seem like you weren't happy in CA, so I'm glad you've found a place to live where you're happier.
Awesome/you're welcome - and ouch.

I remember removing DoubleSpace from CONFIG.SYS (didn't have enough free diskspace to upgrade to DriveSpace) and discovering an empty C: drive with just a very large DBLSPACE.BIN in it. Or... wait, actually I don't remember what I did now... DoubleSpace loaded before CONFIG.SYS (located of course inside the compressed volume) could even be read, so maybe I was booting from a floppy that didn't have the DoubleSpace driver installed on it, or something. In any case, cue freaked-out reboot with "normal" settings after taking one look at the directory listing... and *whew* everything's back.

How'd this get you interested in programming? Did you somehow reconstruct the file's FAT entry from scratch, or (heavily presuming a lot) maybe this was more a case of "reinstall DOS, discover QBASIC"?

My own "oops" was helping someone with an XCOPY command on IRC once that yeeted everything from C: to D: to make a backup. TIL XCOPY has a flag (still don't know which one) that causes everything on the destination directory (or drive) to be deleted first. The command somehow completed instantly. Thankfully it was "only" ~4GB or so, IIRC.

I also got my first old box around the 9 year mark, incidentally (IIRC I was ~14 when I was poking around w/ DoubleSpace). After learning about batch files at around ~10 or so I decided to put some batch file entries at the top of the EXE file of my favorite game. (Why I didn't just create a new batch file, I honestly just...). Yeah, EDIT.COM (a la QBASIC) mangled the line endings and just about everything else in the file; and no more game. Yay.
Fake Chips Proliferating in China Market, Spreading Overseas
This is complete nonsense. Fear mongering about Peak-this or Peak that is has proven wrong in pretty much every single case for 250 years.

If fuel were serious concern for cost, real searching for it would find much more.

And even with current technologies and reactors there are many ways to extend this, if you are willing to mix in some more highly enriched materials.

Eating up the absurd amount of nukes the US still has for example would be helpful.

And of course no society that actually bet on nuclear would still be using that fuel cycle in any serious way.

This is just the typical fear mongering that people use for all technologies they don't like, "Not enough lithium for EV".

It is dangerous when the value of your stocks goes up. You start feeling good not about the stock, but about yourself. You start thinking you made that money .. why? Because you are a smart guy. Even if you rationally know that you were just lucky, it gives you the confidence that you know what you are doing.

It is just human psychology, when you succeed you think it is because of how great you are. And similarly when your stocks fall you don't feel so good about yourself any more. I see this in myself as markets go up and down. I assume it is the same for most people.

Thank goodness...and hopefully more competitors (choices) to come in the future. Good luck!
Yes, fine, lets research that. However here is the thing. We figured out that fission thing in the 50s and still fail to use it.
Not sure what collate is supposed to be, but these idioms are hardly difficult if you're used to Python:

- groupBy is itertools.groupBy(lst, fn)

- sortBy is just lst.sort(key=fn)

- countBy is collections.Counter(map(fn, lst))

- Sibling comment mentioned flatten, which is just [item for sublist for sublist in lst]

More esoteric needs are usually met by itertools.
I watched a super interesting Black Hat video on youtube that talked about discovering secret instructions on CPUs by iterating over each bit of opcodes until you get an illegal instruction, and thereby discovering if an opcode is valid or not.

He set up a room full of PCs running his code and had hardware to auto-reset them when they crashed.

I've also heard of people renting the smaller (and even some of the larger) moving vans/trucks because they want to rent a car, but car rental services have crazy low inventory due to a lot of shedding they had to do during the pandemic.

Hello folks,

I made this app to simplify the process of adding existing team members to a Slack channel. Seems like this is one missing part of Slack's functionality, and as the team grows in size it becomes more difficult task to manage manually.

The app can also help in exporting all members of a particular channel with a simple command.
They're also ran by Andrew Lee/Rasengan, who killed Freenode about a month ago. So, uh, that's great.

I would not recommend ecobee, it does not allow you to apply simple actions you may want to do. For example, using HA I am monitoring co2 in the bedroom, if the level rises above 1000ppm I wanted to turn on house fan until level reaches a value. You cannot simply turn central house fan on/off at will, you can only apply a hourly duty cycle controlled by ecobee. I wish I would have purchased a thermostat with basic api controls.
Fantastic.

I also use signal-cli for notifications including my own custom integrations using MQTT. And to connect remotely to the Home Assistant (HA) UI I use an SSH tunnel. But this is how I enjoy using HA, integrating with my own projects.

What I also learned to enjoy about HA is the diversity of the community of users that found success in home automation without completely relying on "cloud" solutions. I think this is the ethos of this project: local control comes first.

Figuring out the costs, and who's going to pay for it is one thing, and it's serious - I hope we find solutions there.

All this will need massive breakthroughs in leveraging AI , ML and Big Data. Hope we can put an end to Cancer this century at the latest, would prefer it sooner in my lifetime, but I know this is our (humans) ultimate rival /enemy in the game of Life.

You're right. I thought to not include the 1500, but went with averages to keep it simple.
I also wish there was an option for people wanting to have a bit more control or fit it more tidily into an existing home stack. I hacked my own container image so that I could run it in my home k8s, but it wasn't easy — there are lots of undocumented dependencies, and there's no clear separation of state and config. It has by far the untidiest architecture of all the software I run on my home servers. Once it's up and running, though, HA is an amazing bit of software.
