I don't see how this number does not make sense.

If you think that 5% bad neighbors is enough to ruin a whole neighborhood then it would be tough to blame it on AirBNB since most neighborhoods allow subletters in some form (ADUs in SFH areas, apartment subletters in apartment areas). Meanwhile, the only way to get to 40% is really by AirBNBs.

I don't see how one can say that a magnitude difference, and knowledge of what the baseline is without AirBNB, would not change your opinion.
Well that just sounds like a religious argument, no? Is there some basis on which you are making this assertion?
I think there's one other major factor you're entirely overlooking here: cost. NIMBYism and bad zoning lead to that a lot of US cities with housing far, far more expensive than similar places in many other countries.

Hyperscale tech was smart in the way they designed their business to wrap around existing anti-trust law (via creating captive markets inside of larger markets and spanning multiple market categories).

We'll see if they're smart enough to outflank Antitrust 2.0, or if they make the same mistakes as Big Railroad / Oil -- assuming they're more powerful than government and/or believing their own PR about how they're not a monopoly.

To be clear, there is no tradeoff in the number of operations. You are doing the exact same number on average (or total or amortized), while improving the worst-case.

You do lose the ability to do a no-copy realloc() though, and increase the average memory use (not peak).

Is this true? This seems nearly diametric to my experience.

But it semantically resolves to the exact same, and so the compiler will likely treat it the same and optimize for whatever makes most sense. This may both make a written "a|b" short-circuiting, and a written "a||b" non-short-circuiting, as long as the result stays the same (which for simple bool a,b it always does).
I’ve found in interviews you can just declare your assumptions for the things you don’t know.

Ultimately these sorts of job interview questions are designed to evoke a response that can let you demonstrate how you would go about solving/explaining the problem; actually solving it correctly is rarely required or expected. I’d just say having never seen a 747, for purposes of the calculation let’s assume they are 300m long with a 10m diameter etc etc and proceed to do a terrible job of calculating how many ping pong balls fit.
Bitcoin is deflationary by definition, not inflationary. Once the last coin is mined that's it - that's all there will ever be. I think you might have inflation and deflation backwards. Inflation can result from a large supply of currency being injected into a monetary system (ie: "bailouts"). This injection dilutes the value of all existing units of currency. This can cause prices to rise (though not always). In other words: the value of the good or service is relatively static, but the value of the money decreases due to the supply being larger. What happened in the Weimar Republic (hyperinflation) has nothing to do with Bitcoin price swings... they turned the money printers on max and diluted themselves into oblivion trying to prop up the economic machinery. This is quite the opposite of what is happening in BTC land. BTC price swings are just speculation (aka gambling with extra steps).
I guess we can always clarify the context? Something like: I've never set foot in a 747, could you please describe what that is? Can I assume that the plane has no furniture, and the dimension is yada yada? You know, have a conversation.

Actually, that's exactly what Feynman did in the excellent writeup: https://longnow.org/essays/richard-feynman-connection-machin.... A quote: "For Richard, figuring out these problems was a kind of a game. He always started by asking very basic questions like, "What is the simplest example?" or "How can you tell if the answer is right?" He asked questions until he reduced the problem to some essential puzzle that he thought he would be able to solve."
The existing laws against homosexuality in many countries are largely inherited from the era of colonization, which was not an era of self-determination for African nations, to put it mildly. More diverse views of sexuality are likely to be closer to a true representation of normal human behaviors than prohibition. Newer laws, in Ghana in particular, have been similarly influenced by imported ideals from the West.

As another example, before colonization, South American societies were well documented as having attitudes considered quite permissive toward a variety of sexual behaviors as compared to the repressive European powers of the day.
Funnily, their scroll capture is totally broken on their website [1] at least on my version of Firefox. Also, it's strange that they don't have their own website when they're a separate company. I guess it shows the ephemeral nature of these projects.

You're describing money supply, not inflation. Inflation is a change in purchasing power of a unit of currency, not the supply of the currency. The supply may influence its purchasing power but there's a lot more to it, obviously.
“...but there are still no rumours of an updated version...”

Is it me or does this statement imply the need for an updated version. To me, it implies an updated one is needed because that’s what is meant to happen, we get a new one every x years because - not because it’s actually needed.
> the basis by which other people will (apparently) judge their technical expertise

You lost me here. Even if someone thinks that Perl is an unholy abomination to work with, it doesn't follow that those with expertise in it are less skilled. If anything, it seems like it implies the opposite: expertise in it is harder. The counterpart would be something like claiming that Python is a toy language, simple to use but not suitable for Real Work. This claim is the exact opposite as the Perl complaint, and it seems like _that_ would imply negative things about expertise in the language.

For now I've linked it to some friends, perhaps they're interested in the 13" version :)

I can see how essays for graduate admissions can be more useful since you have to make a personal statement about your academic/research interests, how the program would help you accomplish your goals, etc. But for undergraduate admissions, the essays are the easiest part of your application to game since they ask about very generic life experiences (e.g. tell us about a hardship you overcame) that are unverifiable.

This is especially true for people with money: either through major editing from professionals ($$$), or just outright paying someone to write them for you ($$$). As someone who went to a rich high school in a large city (as a diversity student), I can tell you the number of students I knew who paid to have their essays written or heavily edited outnumbered those who didn't.

I probably articulated that poorly but my general thought is that in any urban area (the paper talks about Boston a lot) there is already going to be a fairly large amount of turnover/subletters. I've lived in ADUs in residential SFH areas and have subletted apartments.

The 20% is arbitrary but I guess my general instinct is that because the baseline for turnover/short-term subletter in any area that is somewhat urban (the focus of the paper) is going to be 5-10% minimum. The 20% I admit I pulled out of my ass, but its hard for me to fathom how a 3% usage in AirBNB would be more impactful than an area that sees 20% year turnover and a 15% subletter rate.
> Facebook is absolutely one of the best-positioned companies to be able to become a long-term market leader

No its not, and Mark knows it: "Critically, no one company will run the metaverse"

Its not in Facebook interest to have competitors and they will act accordingly.
My guess is Facebook will first try to buyout the 'metaverse', then it will try to 'emulate but different', and then they will switch to being an over-engineered data hosting provider.

Basically all the small stuff. Every user's identity, preferences, history, and connections. If you post text, that's there too. If you post media, that's somewhere else. Connections are the hard part, because it's a gigantic graph with the potential to make every query - e.g. to construct a user's timeline - hit vast numbers of servers. There's all sorts of special sauce to do with partitioning, caching, etc. to absorb as much as possible of that load before it hits the MySQL servers, but it's still a gigantic service even by Facebook standards.
That was certainly the perception I used to have, but this demo video changed my mind. :)

I run GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a, unrooted, bootloader locked. However this avenue prevents the use of Google Play Services (which partially or completely eliminates functionality from many proprietary apps on the Play Store) or MicroG. This isn't a problem for me personally.
This is definitely part of it. If I get the impression that at least it's something the company cares about and is working on, that helps.

But also, as you mention, many companies have disappointing gender ratios, so it's not like I'd pass on a company purely because of that. It's more like another data point to consider. And conversely, if a company does have a higher portion of female engineers, that will weigh strongly in its favor.
Not even really that big, though.

I think what you're ignoring here is that as any individual gains access to more liquid wealth, they become increasingly more likely to spend some of it.

As your access to supply increases, your demand for more monetary units decreases. As your demand for monetary units falls below your demand for other goods and services you want in life, you spend some of it.

This is how markets function, right? This is why bubbles pop for example, eventually holders of an asset reach a price where they want to take some off the table.

> Displays wear out far faster than the GPUs driving them

Do they?

In my experience they both last forever until you decide to upgrade to better specs. And in that case it's quite likely you upgrade both together.

Displays don't really "wear out" these days in normal usage.

Although I guess I'm not really sure why you say they're a target for thrown handheld controllers ha... are you speaking about yourself or about kids...?
So that's why Windows sucks. It was designed by people who are good at manhole design, not writing software. :-)
I find this very unpersuasive. Especially where it is arguing against claims not commonly made by such studies:

> We also found that leaders with psychopathic tendencies were slightly less effective at their jobs in terms of fostering productivity.

Usually the argument is that sociopaths rise to this level of power and eventually flame out. I’ve never seen any argument that sociopathy tends to make you a good CEO, but rather than it makes you more likely to rise to that level.
DAWs and audio editors have a very large (non-network) attack surface, in the form of plugins, which run in-process, with zero "protection" between them and the host [0]. A plugin can do anything the host app can or could do, including full access to user files, network access and more.

[0] some plugin host apps do "sandbox" the plugins by running them in a separate process, but this is absolutely nothing like the sandboxing done by browsers. The separate processes run with all the priviledges of the host app process.
Did their job get reassigned to them? You need to be seeking work and accepting offers if you are on unemployment.

> This is _on top of the existing state benefits_. You are pretending that the federal benefits are the only UI, which is just not true.

No shit. If you look at my comments you might find me taking about this as additional and how 1 single wage job isn’t enough to live.

The real problem businesses are having is that being forced to figure out an alternative to working at a shit job for a year meant people figured out alternatives. People learned other skills and changed careers.

That’s on top of al the deaths. Most of these shit jobs were frontlines workers who got hit hard by Covid. You don’t need to kill everyone to make the labor market really tight. If you made it so there was even 1% less supply than demand and there’s still margin available to use then you’d see salaries skyrocket as firms need to start cutting their margin to acquire labor.
The comment's kind of puzzling. Second Life has its own passionate community but was niche even in the mid 2000s when it came out, dwarfed by the MMORPG craze exemplified by World of Warcraft. What's so sad or consequential about Second Life, in comparison? It had its own niche and its own fans and never even became mainstream.
Don't get me started on comment section plugins that are basically just Facebook threads on a webpage.
I would say the exact opposite in some ways for teams who are not using AWS yet. My team for example has been operating bare metal for 8 years now, and we know how to do that. Transitioning our team to the "bespoke way" that AWS does things has a huge opportunity cost, too.
hmmm....I don't see debauchery and working as mutually exclusive as you do. I think it would be ok to take a day once a month or quarter and everyone drink alcohol until the puke, and the rest of the time work hard on reaching goals.

I'm not sure what diversity and equality have to do with anything. That would mean that I should also hire stupid and unqualified people to make things equal. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being stupid, some of my best times have been with stupid people. But 50% to 75% of the world is stupid, and most unqualifed, so that would me 95% or more of the company's workforce should be stupid and unqualified, as that is a true reflection of diversity and equality. And, if one is going to be actually diverse and committed to equality, probably 98% of men are sexist, although 97.8% would deny it. So should 98% of males be excluded from the workforce? Or is hiring sexist males promoting diversity and equality?

>For example, excluding the gluten intolerant from a homemade cake is different from excluding some Jews from a deliberately pork-only barbecue.

That's just your personal opinion. Some gluten intolerant people might be just as offended.

>For example, if the "frat house" insults absent customers and competitors with anecdotes of their incompetence, it is likely to be harmless (although a symptom of bad attitude)

Yes, I have never worked in a company that has never had insults to customers who don't get it. That's pretty normal and understandable. But it is like a group of good friends, and there's always one person in the group who is an idiot, and everyone talks shit about him even in front of him, but you hang out with him anyways, because he's your idiot.

>if jokes are about some ethnic group it's a serious problem because such employees are either successfully avoided, or openly offended by some rotten apples.

Yes, that's true. But personally, I don't consider that "frat house" behavior.

>For example, if the owner's dog is forgiven for biting someone while the intern's dog is against company policy it isn't a good workplace.

Eh, again, this is just your opinion. Some people are allowed perquisites. I mean, I don't mean a dog biting per se, I take it that you said that as a general concept. But in general, everyone in a company is not absolutely equal. But f-ck biting dogs, I'd kill a dog if it bit me hard and probably beat the sh-t out the owner, too - f-ck the job, that is beyond the pale. But that is because I'm a manly man and would not put up with that shit. I know where my lines are and when someone crosses them. Or, if the dog bit me kind of lightly but with evil intent (growling at me before biting), that's when I would manage up and tell the owner that the dog is not coming back, too bad. I've done that before when my boss is clearly in the wrong, and have never once got any pushback for it. And I'd do that no matter who it bit, anyone at all.
Impossible! That would be a wink.
