As with most things: it’s complicated.

When you sign a lease agreement, you get a guarantee that your rent will not go up during the term of that agreement.

So, if you sign a lease for $1000 a month on Monday, and on Tuesday the market rent for that area spikes to $10,000 a month, you’re locked in with a lower rate.

If I were a landlord in Oregon, given the above law, I would just only rent month to month. Breaking a lease becomes easy, but you also lose the pricing guarantee.
Manu Cornet left Google earlier this month, but no one has any problem with snark like this. Not management, not HR and not every day Googlers. Some things can’t be said, mostly personal attacks, but the freedom to say critical things very snarkily is completely there and no one thinks anything about it.

Compared to some things that are said and published internally, Goomics are quite tame.
It would be nice if your service automatically handled submitting the RSS feeds to duck duck go.

It's neat that so many life-saving compounds can be found in dirt. Another one is rapamycin, found in the soil of Easter island:

> Georges Nógrády wasn’t looking for cures when he divided Easter Island into 67 parcels and took a soil sample from each. The University of Montreal microbiologist was trying to understand why the islanders weren’t afflicted with tetanus, a bacterial infection often found in places with horses. Not only did horses outnumber the island’s inhabitants, but its people walked around barefoot—a notoriously easy way to pick up tetanus spores.

Not my experience. Canada here but still. You do see these fridges. Have a few friends that have them. I think it's more the 'prestige', marketing and "bling"-ness. "Best" with integrated ice maker and cooled water dispenser.

Personally I don't get it. We have a standard freezer on top fridge, though the size is definitely bigger than what I'm used to from Europe and we have a chest freezer in the garage. That's not uncommon for families in Europe either tho. More of a flat vs house living situation thing.

As a student (living in a flat in Europe) I always joked that I'd go to the 'basement' to my freezer when I wanted a Pizza. I didn't have a basement actually but the parking garage, which was basically shared with (tho sectioned off) a supermarket's parking garage and the supermarket.

Recycling plastic is a red herring popularized by the fossil fuel industry. Up until recently most of its actual success came from a combination of:

1) China's heavy exports meaning that transporting bulk goods TO China was practically free, because the ships were making the trip while empty anyway

2) China's manufacturing industry growing so fast that they simply, literally could not get enough plastic

3) Dirt-cheap labor costs in some parts of China enabling labor-intensive recycling on razor thin margins

4) Corruption and a disregard for the true costs of environmental damage making waste dumping look far more profitable than it actually was.

AIUI these have disappeared recently, due to China's economic growth, and shift from exports to selling domestically, and their environmental damage starting to seriously catch up with them, all of which resulted in them no longer accepting plastic.

What a bizarre article. Who cares if the author is now an old annoying egotistical crackpot. Lots of people don't age well but that has nothing to do with their past works.

Rich Dad Poor Dad changed many lives, including mine and many of my friends, for the better. It sold 32 million copies in more than 51 languages across more than 109 countries, been on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years. That doesn't happen unless it has valuable ideas.

It seems like a disservice to the current generation to dismiss this book. That is unless the current generation is so financially smart that the ideas now seem pedestrian. But I see no indication that is true.
The regex `[b]anana` matches the string "banana". But it does not match the literal string `[b]anana` --- to match that, you'd need something like `\[b\]anana`. The literal string `[b]anana` is what shows up in the process table for grep, and so it doesn't match.

If there's an unusual keycode you need to start the process, maybe you could encode it into the start of the RFID string on the tag. Or maybe RFID readers are configurable like the barcode scanners I've worked with and you can program them to emit the keycode as a prefix.
To clarify I am saying that some people on here are saying that California is anti-business/anti-tech and that is why people are moving out. I am saying the vast majority of people moving out of CA are just doing so because general cost of living isn't a great deal.

And almost by definition, if you move to California from somewhere else then "home" would be lower cost of living. Only exceptions are if you grew up in NYC, Boston, DC or a few other cities.

> Most communication went over the "Unified S-Band", which sent voice, data, telemetry, TV, control, and ranging through one unified system.

We'd probably call that "USB" today.
> What nonsense is this? The purpose of work is to generate material wealth, so that the population and civilization can survive at a high standard of living, without the system collapsing.

The purpose ought to be that, but surely a cursory glance at the world around us showed we have strayed, trapping ourselves in a rat race rather than relaxing with the abundance we've already achieved.

A great example of this is https://johnjayeconomics.org/prison-labor-in-u-s-state-priso... . Prison labor has delayed per-capita, and is often a reward (feeling of purpose vs terrible boredom). That might sound absurd, but I'd say it is just a microcosm of the world outside bars.

> > Since we haven't yet found a stable social solution for people not working and having purpose

I hope this is a bit tongue in cheak. First let's stop artificially starving and humiliating people who don't have work. Then I bet they will do well finding themselves purpose.

> The historical solution advocated by earlier U.S. politicians and economists was to maximize long-run wages by investing in agricultural productivity that had the potential to raise the net-product at the margin of cultivation, then to eliminate land speculation to bring the margin of cultivation to cities, then to give the unemployed free land.

Not quite sure what you are referring too, but yes, we should ratchet down labor hours with increasing productivity rather than increasing (rarely fulfilling, environmentally degrading) consumption.

I agree. We’re encouraged to trust stats over personal observations, but stats have noise , error and bad narratives . Generally stats are picked and chosen to tell a story .

Given that I write my code with a text editor that does nothing but concatenate strings that I input and then I pass it to a compiler or an interpreter, all of the code I write is concatenating strings and passing it to 'eval'.

And I use proper decomposition to keep it cognitively manageable. It's pretty clear that reasoning about composition is beyond you, but trust me that given two procedures that both do not have an undesirable property, one can rest assured that simple composition will not introduce that undesirable property.
Per the 2021 citation, here is the former CDC director claiming he believes RF tech in cellphones causes types of brain tumors. This was part of a lawsuit by plaintiffs with alleged brain tumors from heavy cell phone use:

The CDC guy at least seems to think there's plenty of evidence at this point. There are also citations claiming government tests are outdated fwiw, .e.g. maybe we're not appropriately testing the health effects.

All mostly new to me.
> RSS is increasing popularly again.

Is this true?

Every time RSS comes up we have this same discussion

A: “RSS is dead”

B: “well, I’m still using it and it’s great. Clearly it’s not dead!”

But A and B are having two different conversations.

For broad public consumption the only success RSS had was podcasts, and Spotify is actively trying to capture that open ecosystem and make it their cash cow.

Kids aren’t sitting around sharing the RSS feeds they like, it’s YouTube, TikTok, Discord; all proprietary walled gardens of content.

So yes, the technology isn’t dead, and the world is big enough there’s even a self-sustaining (probably) community of RSS users, but it still hasn’t quite lived up to it’s promise.

Streambus is exciting because the cost of hosting content keeps dropping, maybe we can reproduce the podcast model with video now. But as always the network effect and discoverability are big hurdles to overcome.

Podcasts succeeded not just because of RSS, they succeeded because Apple supported them in the iTunes Store (which is _still_ the most important place to get reviewed as a podcast) solving the discoverability problem.
I think this is a neat idea. I wonder if an old school webring style discoverability system could work. or something that can be added to the end of randomly selected podcasts on the service it ones the creator adds.

A New Planet in the System
From what I recall of my trip down the deep paranoia rabbit hole your best bet is to:

A) Only use temporary virtual machines to access the internet.

B) Use Tor the right way, which is very difficult.

C) Use VPNs liberally

D) Pay for everything from one-off accounts like visa gift cards

But that's exhausting and full of friction at every step. Basically pretending that a State interest is after you, like you're a criminal. Best of luck!

IMHO whatever is out there is out there, you have no control of it anymore. And, the internet is forever.

IMHO I'd rather poison my information that delete it. Fill it full of useless cruft and things that aren't actually you. That's easier.

Nowhere in there do I see any reference to knowing about Version Control Software, such as GIT. Having a good handle on GIT allows you to take more risks, because you have a better set of options if they don't work out. That then gives you more freedom to refactor code.

As far as Object Oriented Programming, unless you're doing something as complex as a GUI builder, don't worry about making things object oriented if a simple record type will do the job.

It sounds like you're on the right track. Good luck!
I'd like to point out that one of the main reasons people publish content to YouTube in 2021 is because that content will be monetized (or, they want to be big enough to monetize their content).

I see zero competitors that offer anywhere near the revenue that YouTube offers. Until you have another platform that can offer anywhere near this level of revenue for content producers, there will only be YouTube. (Twitch is a different market and doesn't compete with non-streamed YouTube content, which I think we'd both agree on)

For that matter, perhaps it's a good opportunity to regulate YouTube's monetization policies, so that other companies can compete for content producers more evenly.
I don't know, Substack and Locals and the other content creators that are starting their own subscription based websites are doing very well, although they build their audience with YouTube.

I worked at big tech in California for a bit, and, anecdotally, all of my coworkers stated that they didn't plan to retire in California, because it's just so expensive it makes no economic sense. It seems the plan for many people who come in California to work at big tech is to make big money for some number of years and then move out.

I ended up leaving, in part because I didn't love the culture there, and some of it was this impression that many people around the bay area don't really care about making friends, because they know they might not be staying for long, and don't care to build roots. This is again anecdotal, but this kind of culture isn't really great long term. If your population is highly unattached and doesn't plan to stay, it doesn't bode well. Besides the high cost of living, the constant inflow and outflow of people in the bay area could end up making you want to leave too.
Now, that may be true. (Or it may not be. I won’t judge the matter.) In ten years’ time? Again maybe, maybe not; but history of parallel cases suggests it’s less likely to be true in time to come than it is likely to be true now.
> And almost by definition, if you move to California from somewhere else then "home" would be lower cost of living. Only exceptions are if you grew up in NYC, Boston, DC or a few other cities.

Lots of California is cheaper than a lot more than just the few most expensive cities. California is not just the central cities of the Bag Area. Also, on a state level, HI has a higher cost of living than CA.

I'd use word2vec to embed all the words into a vector space to try to get more inclusive search results.

I'd also try to separate out multiple meanings of phrases if possible... for example "hypertext markup" could mean the HTML language, or it could mean actually marking up hypertext (annotation). I'd let the user have some way to disambiguate the meanings.
You're mixing up general health/a good diet with what causes weight loss. I'm simply here trying to get people to understand that the vast vast majority of what causes weight changes is how many calories you're consume, and how many calories you're burning during the day.

LDL cholesterol levels have nothing to do with weight loss. They have everything to do with how healthy you are.

Separating the two is extremely important when educating the masses, and most people, like you, refuse to do so. That is why I used capital letters. Not because I'm close minded.

When you separate the two, you are able to have people understand why certain diets work, and why they might not work. You can't just do Keto, for example, and expect to lose weight if you eat 3000 calories of chicken a day. (I'm just using Keto as an example, regardless of it's health benefits).

Then diets are easily understood. You have two parts:

Part 1: How do I lose weight? Consume fewer calories than I burn.

Part 2: How do I be healthy while losing weight and beyond? [insert whatever research you have]

Right now, people advocate mostly for Part 2. Then people trying to lose weight are confused when they don't and give up.

> Anecdotally, I did a 3 month experiment where I increased my calories (lots of olive oil, avocado, nuts, butter, etc) but consuming almost no carbs (and mostly carbs from vegetables) and I lost 8 notches off my belt.

Congrats, you consumed fewer calories than you burned.
If you really spend the time to dig into all the details, though, you might find yourself saying, “not a fucking chance”
From the article it seems like the two systems work well together. I'd like to see more mixed infrastructure like this around me, but I'm sure there's logistics issues more complicated than "throw some solar panels in a highway median".
The Elite Master’s Degrees That Don’t Pay Off
> A democratically elected government of a state is at least answerable to its constituents who can boot them out if the government doesn't do the right thing.

How can constituents come to any informed opinion if a government appointed executive is summarily striking any public discussion on controversial topics? Seems completely antithetical to any semblance of a functional democracy.
No, the article contains rather good advice, and from a range of opinions.

My own advice is to follow the authors example: if your actual dream is something with lottery-like odds, find a way to build a career in an adjacent field to which you can apply genuine interest.

You might not be able to cross that chasm but your odds of happiness - which matters more - are higher than if you try to divide your days or years into earning and living parts.
That's a failing on the side of our political system, but yes. We can definitely agree that using you power to lobby for the greater disadvantage is morally far worse than falling in line.
That seems to not really be relevant, if you want to have a data-driven development process, then you have to, you know, collect data. If you said they should just use email or github issues or something, and have people submit their feedback manually, those have the same deal, and they still would have to comply with COPPA regarding that data.

You can use QuiteRSS to parse YouTube into a proper RSS feed. It can handles custom channel url as well and it will spit out into channel ID. Then you can export it into OPML for your preferred feed reader.
