I would gladly pay $200/month more for an apartment that enables me to live in a walking community without so much space being taken up by parking. Not sure if Culdesac will fulfill that goal, but "you don't even get a parking spot!" doesn't seem like a sell, to me.
Looks like the act is being misused appropriately.
Ah, yes. Gonzalez-Torres. I first saw his work at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. It was a string of dollar-store Christmas lights stapled to the wall. I think there were 24 lights, to represent the age at which is partner died.

I'm usually the guy willing to defend contemporary art, but there's not much I can do here. The work lacks any craft and the insights are shallow, better expressed by the label than the piece.

Clearly the curators of these very famous museums disagree with me. But when people mock "modern art" (which this technically isn't), this is what they're thinking about.
Right, OOP is sometimes not the best paradigm for the given problem. If you're using C# or Java, sure, ORMs fit right in. Ruby and Python, not to mention Lisp etc., offer a multi-paradigm palette where forcing objects in, just to access relational data, just obscures things.
I know people who quite successfully use it in place of a pump, along with a single basal shot from a pen each day. It’s just a small inhaler with disposable plastic dose dispensers in various numbers of units. It because it works so quickly it is not a problem to measure accurately. If you use too little, you’ll quickly know and can take another. But you are correct that it could not replace basal insulin. I suppose you also could use it as a supplement to a pump and there are probably people who do it, but not in my circle.
> this can only work if the flag is off by default so only those who actually care set it.

As the effort in the article is attempting to establish, this can also work when there is a legal stick against those who don't comply.

All we need is companies to stop tracking people by default. A side benefit is that webmasters don't need to ask about Google Analytics if it's not being used.
The market is not "ride hailing apps", it is personal transportation. Depending on where you live, the competition is trains, busses, biking, walking, company shuttles, or even moving closer to where you want to be.

If the cost of an Uber from the airport is too expensive, people won't just take cabs, they could also park in long term parking or have a friend drop them off instead.
Exactly, and what I'm saying is probably over 50% of the time people modularize code, they aren't actually modularizing it in the good sense you are talking about, but in the bad sense where they are just placating the linter without putting any thought into it and calling it "modularizing".

I'm all for modular code and interfaces, but linting rules like "functions must be a maximum of 15 lines long" are stupid and lead to stupid code. That's what my OP was about.
I'm pretty sure some dogs could do this (if the tasks were changed to suit their natural range of motions and interactions with environment). When you teach a dog 4 tricks and try to teach him 5th he will randomly repeat the previous 4 in different combinations trying to get the treat. At least some dogs, others don't care much and if the first thing isn't working they give up.

My parents had a dog that was very smart and pretty aggressive to our cat. He had a dog kennel in a small section of backyard enclosed with high fence. Near the fence there was a small cherry tree where our cat liked to climb.

Cat wouldn't climb the tree when the dog was outside of his part of backyard, so the dog not only learnt to open the gate to the rest of the backyard (lifting a wire loop over the fence and pulling it just right), but also to shut it slightly to fool the cat. He would lie there pretending the gate is still closed, not reacting to the cat. Cat would climb the tree and then the dog would stop pretending, open the gate, go under the tree and bark at the cat till we come and free him. If we weren't home that could take hours - neighbors weren't too pleased.

Other example is dogs burying and re-burying treats when they see each other watching them bury it. That requires at least rudimentary theory of mind.

As for crows - I've personally seen them doing this trick (on a parking lot not on a pedestrian crossing, but same thing - they understood where the traffic is just right to be used for nut-cracking).

They are also huge assholes to other animals, bullying them in very creative ways.

I don't doubt crows are smart, just don't think that experiment was that impressive.
I hand stretch it and bake it at 550F on parchment (which stays under the pizza long enough to set the bottom but not so long it lights on fire...). The pros use a peel and corn meal but I'm too lazy for all that... ;)

Because the dough is high hydration and proofs gently overnight, it comes out super relaxed and stretchy, so no roller is needed.

A few day ago some kids told me that TikTok is for old people. Not sure what's hip anymore.
Isn’t the discovery algorithm something that any media network could easily adjust to either favor the entire community of creators or to favor the network itself (perhaps by favoring creators with more lucrative advertising deals)?

I would expect fairly new networks to adjust their algorithm towards the former to attract creators, then eventually tweak it towards the latter to please investors/shareholders/advertisers.
I really like elementary and the ecosystem-like, but open approach they're taking to desktop linux.

One aspect of it I feel often goes underappreciated is how lightweight it is. Provided you have a reasonable amount of RAM for the tasks you're trying to do, e.g. 4GB+ for normal desktop usage and an SSD, you can run it on fairly old CPUs and it will be blazing fast still.

Congrats to the team!
Training self-driving cars for $1/hr
You use Uber or Lyft or you don't get a ride. No one is using a taxi app; they're using the two big rideshare apps. That said, I used a taxi a total of a handful of times in my 30-something years prior to Uber/Lyft becoming a thing. Those handful of times were miserable experiences, including hours-long waits leading to no-shows.

Modern ridesharing services flipped the script. Livery services here in Minneapolis/St Paul are all over the rideshare apps and I am more often than note picked up by licensed taxi/limo service drivers instead of random Joes looking for extra dough (I'm sorry; I didn't realize it until after I typed it--it's staying).

---

I have come to rely on the expectation that rideshare will be available in whatever city I am in. On a recent vacation, there was exactly 1 rideshare vehicle available to pick up my family to go to the airport on a Friday morning at 6:30 AM and one available to get home at 12:30 AM on a Sunday night. These drivers were professional drivers. There were exactly 0 rideshares available on Hilton Head Island on the several occasions I looked and there were only a handful available in Savannah.

Ridesharing may be dead but this article is nothing but a very angry response to someone who hates the business model that actually fixed a VERY broken system. Whether or not those companies continue to exist, rideshare services have made it WAY more accessible to move around w/o having to rent cars, get stranded, etc.

Bring 'em on I say.
They sell "writing tools". I'm old enough to remember when those were called pens.

Not sure how long it's been since you've lived in Tempe, but the entire downtown area has been completely revamped and revitalized. The emphasis on bikes, walkable restaurants, and light rail access on Apache itself make this not an overall bad location. Your other points about the rest of PHX metro area outside of Tempe are true though. Neighborhoods for blocks for miles, but Tempe, especially downtown Tempe is trying hard to change that.
Again, I'm (technically) a YC founder, I'm in my 40's, and I don't get that at all from the $125k number. If anything, I feel like I have an easier time with first-year startup expenses at this age than I did in my 20s.

Basically the openness of the ledger allows law enforcement to skip some slow and difficult tracing and requesting of warrants.

On top of that, cybercriminals seem to make exploitable mistakes that have enabled stealing their private keys.
By the time I scrolled to the swimming pool render, I started to think that the photos weren’t very realistic. Then I realized why: everybody was white in the renders. There was a token person of colour here or there. But it was poorly added. The black guy at the swimming pool is in the back. And unlike everybody else, he forgot his swimwear…

This is one of the first times I’ve seen “Corporate Memphis” illustrations where the skin colours are exclusively shades of white and pink.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the nice drawings and car-free ideals, but those renders and illustrations seem rather tone-deaf for 2021…

Also, if you’re downvoting me, please reply with why I’m being downvoted. I smell astroturf… This is a legitimate concern about the project. I’m not saying anything particularly negative, but if Culdesac Toronto ever wanted to kick off, they would need a more multi-cultural set of renders than this. It’s incredibly distracting to the point of being clearly offensive.
Boss Is Watching You: Work-from-Home Boom Leads to More Surveillance
I guess my mistake is that I use steel-cut oats when I do overnight oats. AFAIK without boiling they'll still be pretty tough in the morning (else why do so many recipes call for boiling or long-term heating in the crock pot?)
It has been a long road, but I'm glad that I got to the end. It's been amazing reading people's messages and knowing that they are learning lots.

Just received this one, for example: "I've been going through it with a younger cousin that is tagging along, exploring Rust with me, and even if he misses a lot of the stuff I've met in my university years... he's getting all of it thanks to your explanations and a bit of googling/wider explanations or examples by me."

Of all the major players in this space, Trustarc are by far the worst imo. "Please wait while we save your preferences. This may take a few minutes". No it shouldn't, you're just taking punitive action because I didn't opt in to all the tracking. I guarantee that if I just accepted all cookies then the popup would disappear immediately.
Take a look at the video demo. It takes natural text in a box and generates code. Copilot was super-autocomplete, so the interface was writing code in an IDE that it filled out for you. Natural language interface will be a little easier for non-programmers. (Though, how would you read the code to make sure it does what you meant...)
Weirdly I asked hn about this yesterday not sure what happened to the thread but I’m super glad someone else picked up from there it’s been a great read thanks !
Takes on average 2.5 decades to train it.
> "it would be dishonest to say that we wouldn’t perform better or faster if we were in-person in the same building. It may not be a popular opinion or what people want to hear, but in my direct experience with mixed WFH/remote teams it’s always true. In-person is just too efficient to replace with Zoom and Slack and e-mail."

So I agree with the above in that being in person definitely makes collaboration easier. But on the other hand I feel like I personally am more productive when working from home because I have more energy. I always found the commute in the morning draining and by the time I'd gotten dressed and showered, into a crowded train, to my desk, out of my coat, put my bag down, set up my workstation if I had to take my laptop home to have an out of hours work meeting where I might need to demo something, etc. I'm already feeling a little worn out.

Working from home I definitely have found myself stuck waiting to hear back from people and similar things, but... at the office if at the end of the day I feel close to solving a problem I have to weigh up whether or not to stay late and keep working or just spend more time the next day getting myself back to that headspace. I fairly often will just go home because I know that with commuting and everything how much I want to just be home will be higher by the time I get there, plus I'll have more things I need to do at home that I might have been able to do when I get home because I'm spending less time there everyday. Not to mention the amount of chores I can get done during the workday - I've hung laundry while making tea, or done stuff at lunch, etc. At the office I'd still be taking a lunch break or making that tea, but I'd not be getting other stuff done at the same time. I know that those extra house chores aren't productivity in the workplace, but having them done makes me feel more energetic and clearheaded at work

That's not exactly uncommon in cheap consumer routers.

No rate limiting is as good as no authentication.
The real problem in SF is that it is just a fairly small city, so a lot of the big city things you'd expect from NYC/LA/Chicago just aren't there.
>And I suppose your political views are based purely on reason and logic?

Yes actually. And I definitely don't try to couch my political views in moral stupidity like "fairness" which you are not even capable of explaining.

>Of course emotions are involved. That isn't inherently bad.

Of course it's not inherently bad. It's definitely bad when you can't even explain your position coherently but feel strongly enough about it to get into heated arguments.
Ha, I had no idea. That's kind of a problem, yeah. They REALLY fixed that with San Francisco which has, by my count, a crazy 18 cuts across 8 variants, counting only generic sans serifs.
This description doesn't seem quite right to me. The laws of physics work the same in all reference frames, so from the frame of the crew, day 355 would simply be yet another day of 1G acceleration. At least inside the spacecraft, they would notice no difference from day 354 (or any other previous day).

When they look out the windows, they will see odd things with respect to the apparent speed of other visible objects (including they never get farther/closer at a rate faster than C). But there's nothing theoretical that prevents you from continuing to accelerate at 1G forever.

Edit: I guess what I don't like about your description is that you mix reference frames. A spaceship can maintain 9.8m/s^2 (from its perspective) infinitely with constant energy expenditure. Energy expenditure rises asymptotically only if you require constant acceleration of the spaceship from Earth's perspective. But that's a peculiar way of framing it.
It is also worth noting that there would be significant public push back if there was a true degradation in the curriculum.

Not so sure on that one. I agree some would push back, certainly. I feel it is fewer every year, with parents not caring for anything but what a piece of paper says.

But, perhaps I am a cynic, or am reading too many such stories.
Boulder Colorado here:

Bike commuting is amazing here, as it is in many parts of the US that have the population density and public funding to execute it.

Anyway, Daybreak sounds amazing, and yeah, communities like that will always get "bad raps" from locals outside of it. It's human nature:

These places are usually priced very high per square foot, due to the huge demand vs. supply of walkable neighborhoods. Locals outside of it see it as a luxury purchase, and then associate the residents with the most snobby behavior of the few snobs who inevitably inhabit it.

I'm going to take a wild guess that the locals outside of the community have stereotypical nicknames for it like "People's Republic of Daybreak" or "Bankbreak" or something like that, lol.
But no one is creating a role
For read, modify, write for every distinct user bit of data no? Or at least I hope not and I doubt the system would function if they tried.

> Because people won’t pay $25 to take a 15 min ride.

Maybe not routinely (like to work or the grocery store), but:

I will absolutely pay $35 to get to and from the airport, which is 15 minutes away from my home.

I will absolutely pay $20 for a 10 minute ride that takes me to a restaurant or bar where I plan on drinking enough such that I don't feel comfortable driving.

I was just in Manhattan a couple weeks ago and paid a taxi to drive 10 minutes, and it cost around $20 with tip. This pricing scheme seems to work fine for traditional taxis.

I'm not saying everyone will pay this much. Maybe Uber's addressable market when charging the true cost of a ride is much, much smaller than they think it is, and they need to rethink and restructure how they operate. Maybe users need to expect longer wait times for a car, and lower availability. But that doesn't mean they're doomed or that they have an impossible business. That's like saying "taxis with an app" is an impossible business, and I don't think anyone can make the case for that.

Yes, there are many consumer routers that support VPNs, including the ones we're talking about here.

Although, remote management isn't much of a consumer feature to begin with.
Movies don't tend to be able to spy on you, for one. Nor are they generally expected to be maintained over time.
Its really worth taking the time to learn well. Any library that abstracts that for you, is using some rules to create sql underneath, so knowing what its (probably) doing can give you a lot of insight when tracking down performance problems or bugs. And, suggest changes you can make to the schema, or stored procedures if necessary to improve performance as well.
What original post? It was a google search that reveals some router's remote admin page, that search doesn't mention any specific router brand or model.

But regardless, I was responding specifically to your comment:

manually overriding this configuration usually demonstrates a sufficient enough understanding that the default credentials have likely also been changed

(That's why I quoted it in my reply)

And the point I was trying to make is that merely being able to override the default remote admin setting does not ensure that the user has any idea what the ramifications are. I'm surprised you're even arguing against that.
After China Objects, Apple Removes App Used by Hong Kong Protestors (2019)
The opening of this essay is a beautifully written and surprisingly timely reflection on the importance of not judging the worth of time spent on certain pursuits purely on their direct, material utility.

I was hoping the rest would build on the deeper importance of fields such as art, music, and literature at the level of both the individual and society as a whole. Unfortunately, the rest is a bit underwhelming. It is mostly examples showing how particular pursuits in mathematics and theoretical physics eventually created more practical applications in future generations. Interesting, of course, but still focused on raw 'utility', just one step more removed.

> Folks - these routers are secure. There is nothing to see here, move along.

If experience is any guide, they are not.

Consumer routers have horrible track of embarrassing, easily exploitable vulnerabilities. That are not patched for a long time or ever.

And exposing your router to public like that suggests the owner knows very little about security. This typically goes in hand with other neglect. Tell me, how many home users that are not security conscious keep their routers regularly patched and will replace the router when the manufacturer stops supporting them?
There was no ability to "run a controlled experiment" in the midst of a novel pandemic.

A minimum of 600k Americans died. That's the world with all of the interventions (many of which were probably unnecessary in retrospect!). Could we have pared some down sooner? Sure but it's 100% guaranteed that the death count would have been much higher had we done nothing like you seem to have think would have been a good idea. Stopping in-person school and travel and universal masking are self-evidently going to reduce transmission, so I have no idea what "study" you expect to see.

This is just covid denialism churched up with some historian's fallacy.

Again, what was 100x worse? In your world in which kids went to school and we let healthy people come-and-go from covid-infested hospitals, how many more people would have died to justify that "freedom"? Our CFR is something like 2% (before Delta) - what does that calculate to if a few more tens of millions of additional people got the disease?
> That's really what people care about in these discussions. Its not "Will Uber be profitable this quarter?", its... "should I buy Uber stock?".

It's definitely not what I care about. I'm just a user, not an investor. What I care about is whether I'll still be able to use the service in the long run, albeit at higher prices.

Also, if that's what people making these arguments really care about, then I think it's misleading for them to be arguing that Uber can never be profitable and is destined to go out of business. That is not the same thing as being a poor stock market buy at current valuations, whether the latest round of investors will lose money, and so on.
All fair points. Still an absolute page-turner. Sort of a trashy romance sci-fi novel.
Unity keeps doing all kinds of weird stuff that doesn't seem to be making the game engine much easier to work with.
