There's definitely a time shift for different geographies. I consider myself fitting the overall concept, despite being born in late 1980s - I think it's because late 1980s here in Poland were like early 1980s in the US.
IT's just insane that you have grass, the worlds leading useless crop, in a desert.
The media won't talk about it because what politicians are doing is exactly what's causing or exacerbating the economic collapse of the poor and middle class. And I'm not talking politicians from one party. Both parties are responsible.
Even if they had 10M users (which I doubt), at 100 contacts per user that's 1B contacts.

I don't see 50% as "very little", but that's just semantics and not worth fussing over. I concede to you :)

Thank you for following up- I appreciate it.
Thanks, that is a great question! It is also a topic that my family and friends prefer not to discuss, so I appreciate being able to express this:

I think that corporate profits and people with high-value job skills or their own profitable companies or farms will be in fine shape.

For the middle class and poor: inflation will get a lot worse and hurt these people. In the USA, it seems like neither political party is supporting small businesses, and why should they? Mega corporations fund both parties, not individuals and small businesses.
I usually deal with this by defining a cell with the actual contents of the class/module code so that I can just re-execute that cell any time I make changes to it. Then I simply copy/paste all the code back into the module.py file once I'm done tweaking it and playing with it. Thus for me Jupyter sort of operates as almost an IDE of sorts.
It was within the context of forcing a property owner to rent their property of be fined. Not within a context of a property owner should be able to do anything on their property.

So the idea was presented succinctly. I really don’t think I need a long explanation on why it’s an absurd idea to force someone to sell their space at a price lower than they think it’s worth.
I worked doing data entry in my teen years for a tax certiorari law firm in NYC and I can tell you that one of the favorite tricks of multiple-building owners is to have a mostly vacant building (or several) as a tax sink. Most of the time they would put their family in the units at no charge and write off the whole building to offset their others.

This is especially true of buildings they were holding for sale to property developers.

No they are not. That's like saying you're not allowed to compare between other American states because different states run their police departments completely differently.

You're just making up arbitrary rules to stipple discussion.

Great article. Local journalism should be supported. Corporate-backed news is generally biased and local journalism brings with it more diversity of perspective on a smaller scale.
Elitism is a problem, but so is egalitarianism.

Just because we all tried, doesn't mean we should all be rewarded and congratulated for trying. Results matter.

So, balance somewhere between the two is best.
This has nothing to do with full context and some obscure scientific fact. The squared manholes are super common. Many of them are squared and I probably stepped over some squared on my way to interview.

It is like asking why milk is sold always in yellow box. The question makes no sense, because milk boxes can have any color.
If someone calls you a racial slur to your face, what they're saying is that they (or the people they are surrounded by) can beat you up. It's a dare.

For more reading on exactly why BigCo wanted cannabis to be illegal, see the book ”The Emperor Wears No Clothes” by Jack Herer: https://jackherer.com/emperor-3/chapter-1/

It is a rather long read, but to summarise, cannabis prohibition has roots in the industrialising 19th century where it could have competed with cotton and wood pulp. It was banned by employing racist imagery to turn people who had never even heard of ”marijuana” against hemp.
The other major advantage is that they’re not publicly traded which forces you to do unsavory things to chase analyst quarterly forecasts
Sure, either desalination must become more energy efficient or energy must become cheaper for it to be usable in agriculture (well, the third option is that such food becomes a lot more expensive). Either of those seems hard but not impossible.
If all you're going to do is say "Google for it!", then you don't get to make the claim. Any claim.

land value tax (or economic land rent) is normally seen as a REPLACEMENT for all other taxation, not an addition to it.

"Land" in economics means natural resources. Land includes three-dimensional space; natural materials such as oil, water, and minerals; wildlife and genetic endowments, and the electro-magnetic spectrum. Nature and natural resources are prior to and apart from human action.

I would whole heartily support replacing taxes on Labor (aka income tax), with taxes on economic land, equality and natural moral law implies equal self ownership. Therefore they should fully own their own wages and products of their own labor. However self-ownership does not apply to what a person has not produced namely natural resources aka economic land.

I however can not support adding a land value tax in addition to our current tax system

No, just that it's as close as you can get with the imperfect tools at your disposal. Even if your tools are really bad—like, if the variation in scores on your test suite is 10% ability, 90% luck—well, if that's the best tool you have for sorting by ability, then you should use it, and to the extent that you ignore its recommendations in favor of racial or other preferences, that will lower the average ability of the candidates you accept. (Unless your tool is so bad that selecting by race outperforms it—which is a very unfortunate situation, and one that should be avoided as much as possible.)
I was curious about the energy requirements, so I did some envelope math.

The average US household consumes 11,000 KW-hours of energy per year. Let's say an average person uses 80-100 gallons of water a day, so a low end of about 30,000 gallons of water per year. One article [1] suggests desalination takes about 15kJ/kg water at the most efficient plants. That translates to 473 kilowatt hours of energy required per household each year:

30000 gallons * 3.79 kg/gallon * 15 kilojoules

So that's about a 4% increase in household energy usage just for domestic water for one person (domestic is less than 10% of our water use in CA). I'm not sure what conclusion to draw from this, but I suspect that it isn't practical to use desalination as a primary source of water. I also expect that much salt would become an environmental problem to dispose of. Once we drain our aquifer, the water shortage will be really severe and we'll need to cut back on agriculture regardless of desalination, but it could help a lot in urban areas.

+1 And of course both parties are responsible. In real (non-digital) life, I know many Democrats and Republicans who have almost a religious zeal that their party is the one true way. Laughable, but I also feel that everyone gets to have their own opinions.

I read this from Wikipedia:
"In addition to sending data, processes may send file descriptors across a Unix domain socket".

Does this mean you can send a Unix domain socket via a Unix domain socket?

Yes, mostly you are right, nowadays. Problem is, imho, only in 2007 or 2008 China surpassed Germany in production (I can't find a source atm, just from memory). That would have been the right time for the EU involvement, but they took 5 more years where German manufacturers were hung out to dry.
Well, disclaimer -- I'm gay so that's a bit of a confound. The object of desire is also who you want to be. Some studies suggest we are particularly susceptible to this kind of image-relational problem, and maybe for that reason. (I can believe it.)

Anyway in the name of research, I pulled some Instagram URLs from a Telegram chat with some friends. To their credit they mostly seem to post memes and jokes from Instagram, not Instagram models. But the first non-meme account I pulled up is a good example, actually: https://www.instagram.com/benjaminbenz/ (somewhat NSFW?)

Exotic vacations, mountain-top kisses, ATVs, cute dogs, fast cars, jet-setting, gym gains, beautiful mansions, fishing trips, big muscles, sports, a too-sexy boyfriend, and a good dose of almost-tasteful butts and some sexual suggestiveness. No cares. All happy. In love. Damn, I want all that. Why isn't my life like that? Sure, it's mostly fake. But good luck convincing my amygdala of that.

"When schools closed, suspected suicide attempts actually decreased. When schools reopened, suspected suicide attempts skyrocketed in lockstep."

From the way the data is presented, it's not clear that there was a net change either way. Maybe this just concentrated suicides around school reopening times.
That's EXACTLY the reason I'm in my current job. I got asked several times whether I want to be a team leader, product owner or even assistant VP of engineering, and if I'm sure I only want to be a programmer.

And I said to the director of engineering who recruited me, more or less this:

"I can do all those and be rather good at them, too. But right now I want to focus on my physical and mental health so I want to work as a senior programmer with minimum supervision who takes ownership of big features or refactorings, and to be knee-deep in the code. All other soft skills that I have I only want to utilize to become the best colleague that you have."

My honesty was highly appreciated and I got an immediate job offer. I like the job. It's relatively chill, the colleagues are nice, the challenges are doable, and there's almost no pressure. I am mostly okay working for the company.

So long story short, I completely agree with you: sometimes you need a chill job so you can focus more on your life.
Sadly I think you are right.
Build on Kubernetes from Day One
It's not common in the US because in the early 70 airlines got congress to prohibit cost sharing mass transit projects between muni's and airports. That's why it's always a spur line instead of a normal stop when it exists. Because the project has to be funded as a separate thing.

So if you wonder why for instance the light rail in Santa Clara county passes 100 feet from the airport. But the nearest stop is a mile and a half away, that's why.

I only know this because congress very recently repealed that law.
On a second thought, the same applies to opium, I mean, any addictive product. You don't fight smoking tobacco by forbidding it's production, but do so by reducing it's consumption.

This feels very familiar. Got my first cell phone at 17 (Ericsson gf768), called girls at home (I can count them on 1 hand but is was always a “thing”) and had to ask their father to put them on the line. I remember computers without internet (at first with orange or green screens) and cell phones without sms. And our first time online emailing friends with the family mail address. I typed most reports on computers but also had to visit the university for papers (although only once for a course). We took the ball from the teachers mouse in 96. The education systems always felt way behind with respect to computers. At home we had windows 95 while we were taught word processing on dos with a blue and black Word Perfect (5?).

I had this discussion with colleagues we never felt like millennials (I’m from 1982). I like this piece. A Xenial is what I am.

Here at my times kids were told they would be shoveling dirt if they had neglected school. It may be anegdotal but I know many of such school low performers who today own excavators, dumper trucks fleet, construction businesses. The point is they do much better than some of their now blue collar school peers burned out after years of studying and "career" often pushed to impress parents and social circle.
I believe some Nexus 7 ROMs have been made with newer Android releases, but it is indeed pointless. It runs like shit even on the stock ROM anymore.

Modern operating systems are built to take advantage of modern hardware; in my opinion, there is nothing immoral about software being less efficient. A lot of things can lead to less “efficient” software, including better security measures, graphical effects, support for more advanced software and hardware that simply requires greater complexity, ... I have trouble believing that software vendors are sabotaging their performance on purpose. I’d be more inclined to question the intent of silently throttling older phones to improve battery life, which is much closer to an identifiable way that older phone hardware gets slower. But there are so many demands being placed on phones. Lowering audio, input and graphical latency across the stack necessarily costs some throughput. Newer, more complex web browsers running bigger websites necessarily requires more CPU and RAM. These are self-evident truisms IMO.

On the other hand, there’s just so many features that can drive new phones other than the obsolescence of old phones. Enthusiasts might want Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, 5G—all features that can’t realistically be upgraded on existing hardware. Every day users might upgrade because their old phone has a cracked screen that costs more than the phone to fix, or perhaps their contract is up and the carrier or provider is offering essentially a free upgrade; because yeah, carriers certainly play into this role too, not only vendors of hardware and software. Some users might upgrade for features like eSIM, better battery life, wider coverage of international frequency bands, wireless charging...

Something like postmarketOS is still good, but I really feel like these approaches will really start to shine in the coming few years. I believe it is the phones and tablets coming out today that are likely to remain relevant for a long period of time, personally.

Absence evidence that, say, AOSP is being made intentionally slower, I have to sit on the side of doubt.
Well if it makes you feel any better we spent a whole week on the Dewey Decimal system and how to look up books via index cards. Because computerized indexes and search were rapidly replacing physical lookup, I never ever used that skill again.

TV and other media is easy to tell fact from fiction. TV is obviously fake. Social media blurs the line.

Ordinary but attractive humans curate, stage, and edit snippets of perfect lives. Bleeding edge algorithms inject these false realities into our subconscious.
What’s more baffling is using the concept of “generations”, being the idea that everyone born within a certain set of years has a certain experience. Is this not making it obvious that concept itself is without any merit?
You are incorrect. Generating trajectories is easy. Many well known techniques exist that do pretty well, and yes this is done in computer games all the time (as well as in many other fields).

Quickly generating time-optimal trajectories for under-actuated mechanical systems with actuator constraints is interesting, and as a researcher in this field I can assure you that the technique in this paper is novel and is interesting—if it were not it wouldn't have been published in the journal Science...

There is absolutely no way that we can implement the above, WITHOUT losing a lot of what makes us humans in the process.

I'd rather keep our pre-Covid level of human interaction than limiting it forever.

But to each their own, one thing is that we must remove all restrictions so that each can choose their own way freely.

This last part is what politicians have a hard time to realize, but it's a necessity.
So I actually write some software that would be in violation of their ICE policy and I’m not sure how I’d remedy it. I could just not have defaults in my config file but my users have no idea what a STUN server is and there doesn’t seem to be a system location like for DNS.

I could print a message like “you need to configure some ICE stuff, if you don’t know what these are then use xxx” but that seems worse for users. Now they have to do work so be in the same place privacy wise.
50% (48%) is for Alpha (I'm actually a little surprised it's that low; IIRC it was a lot better in the initial studies, though those were on the ancestral variant, not Alpha). For Delta, it's 30%, per that article. I'd call that pretty low.

That said, other studies are available, and some have shown decent performance against Delta after one dose.
So much this. There's no good reason to use relative imports. They're less readable, more dangerous and don't solve a single problem.
Assuming the the other challenges can be met, me solution to distribution is to use desalinated water to fill up underground aquifers. The other option is simply to move agriculture closer to the coasts.

At least you can do something about open S3 buckets with relative ease, I got slammed by people scanning zones on Route53.

The way Route53 pricing works, you could get a 1000$ bill any day - for DNS... Having just a single domain on there is enough.
You pretty much have to buffer a couple frames because that's how rendering works. You can do work to reduce extras, but it only gets you so far. And screens tend to want to buffer at least a frame too, and it's hard to convince them not to.

You also need quite high framerates to make rendered motion come out reasonably smooth. Especially for something you're trying to follow across the screen with your eye. Fake motion blur only partially helps and has its own problems.

I can do without the sarcasm. Can you point me to any actual experiments?
Kaluza's name is mentioned, but not Klein's, and there's no mention of their theory whatsoever.

Kaluza-Klein theory is the archetype of expressing electromagnetism purely through curvature, and I'd expect any paper doing the same to refer to it, as well as explain how the work in the paper differs from or expands on it.

The fact that the metric proposed in the paper corresponds to the term added to the 4D spacetime part of the Kaluza-Klein metric is already suspicious. It makes me think they're either repeating Kaluza and Klein's work, or aren't properly citing it when they should have.
