The maglev was developed by Siemens in the 80s in Germany. It was called Transrapid. But we Germans were motivated to built a single railroad for it. So when Siemens went to China with it, we knew what would happen. Personally, i am kind of grateful that they use the technology instead that it rots away in some storage room in Munich at Siemens.
I wonder if they will enjoy being ruled by their "uncles, cousins, and brothers"...
How do you reconcile "national shortage of housing" being the cause with California being the most expensive state with the most homeless? Shouldn't a national problem cause people to migrate AWAY from the expensive housing? Housing in the US (median, not SF) is one of the cheapest relative to income among the developed countries, AFAIK.

Also, I can tell you from my own example that it's a chicken and egg problem. If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have told you I'd like to have Singapore-style vehicle taxes, introduced gradually, so that developmental patterns would change, basically forcing people into transit and walkable neighborhoods. However, based mainly on living in Seattle, I am now 100% pro-driving, anti-transit and dream of moving to suburbs, specifically because I want to be far away from blight (and I grew up in Moscow in the 90ies economic collapse, so my standards for lack of urban blight are pretty low). Now, I am only willing to accept Singapore-style (or Moscow-style) urban environment with Singapore-style/Moscow-style ruthless enforcement of law and order.
If someone has been "inculcated their entire career" to be cloud-first, then their career is only six years old. Cloud-first hasn't been a viable solution for much longer than that.

For many endeavors these days, cloud-first will be the correct default choice. Get something up, min-max it later. For most devs, for most workloads, the cost of running a data center isn't worth it.

I've been building software since before the internet was a thing. I'm fairly certain this isn't a pendulum that will swing back the other way. It is a rising waterline.
Very relatable.

My biggest gripe is that despite knowing that we don't really know what we are doing, that there are lots of unknowns, that something like this is being done for the first time in team the management often expects deadlines set in stone. All the "agile"ity goes out of the window.

Or worse, like in Uber's case, the CEO will announce something on a whim and you have to scramble to get it done because of no fault of your own.

I've had similar thoughts regarding Miami near-floodplain real estate - buying land that might hypothetically become the "new coast" based on projections for sea levels over the next 20, 30 years.

Obviously a long shot in terms of ROI but I mean the apparent recent increase in hurricanes in those coastal areas in terms of both intensity and frequency is palpable...

Paying off credit card debt should be beneficial here, right? I would assume that trading a 15%-25% rate to something lower is good thing.
Wow. I mis remembered that quite spectacularly. Whoops.
From the article:

> The Afghan forces were trained by the Americans using the U.S. military model based on highly technical special reconnaissance units, helicopters and airstrikes. We lost our superiority to the Taliban when our air support dried up and our ammunition ran out.

> Contractors maintained our bombers and our attack and transport aircraft throughout the war. By July, most of the 17,000 support contractors had left. A technical issue now meant that aircraft — a Black Hawk helicopter, a C-130 transport, a surveillance drone — would be grounded.

> The contractors also took proprietary software and weapons systems with them. They physically removed our helicopter missile-defense system. Access to the software that we relied on to track our vehicles, weapons and personnel also disappeared. Real-time intelligence on targets went out the window, too.

> The Taliban fought with snipers and improvised explosive devices while we lost aerial and laser-guided weapon capacity. And since we could not resupply bases without helicopter support, soldiers often lacked the necessary tools to fight.

Under these conditions, what would you expect members of the Afghan army to do?

You are correct that in some cases, surrenders were arranged due to family and tribal considerations. But anyone with a modest understanding of Afghan society and culture could have predicted this so it boggles the mind that the US, after 20 years, seemed utterly clueless about how Afghanistan works.

Indeed. But apparently I was mistaken. It was the story about the different cache lines on the Exynos.
Except, the aliotos run unsuccessfully for office. Claiming the politicians work for them is just conspiracy. Clearly they do not exert complete control in the way you claim.

The excerpt you cite concerns couples who choose to not marry in the first place, not people already married considering a divorce. In your example, the man brings 20000$ a year more to the household + 5500$ a year of welfare for the mother = 25500$.
This is much more than the 11000$ a year the mother would get on her own. I hardly see how this example makes any sense
So who is the alioto power broker if not the child of the last prominent alioto, Sam alioto? If the 'family' has power as a single unit, who is in charge. This is baseless conspiracy meant to distract from the real people who control the occupant of the office of mayor .. the residents of San Francisco

How about we first commit to doing whatever it takes to not buy oil from the sauds even if it means more domestic production for several years.

This is a fallacy of two choices. We can both drill here and pursue renewables like we were doing last year.
For German speaking people that want more insights: The Spiegel and others did lots of Reportagen on the Remmo clan and the absurdity behind this is ridiculous.

For example, they legally receive money from the Agentur fuer Arbeit because they're registered as having no job; while riding a damn Lamborghini literally to the Agentur for Arbeit, on camera.

The police got one of the brothers who did the Dresden Raub, even found matching diamond dust at his place, locked him up - but then he got free because he "had to care for his sick dad", while he has 6 goddamn brothers who all live in Germany; coincidentially all jobless but too busy to care for this "sick dad".

The justice system failed so much against these two clans: The Remmo clan and Abou-Chaker clan in case you want to find more about them. They're the worst of organized crime with deep connections everywhere.

They steal everything, and the cultural heritage is lost because they don't give a damn about it. They even bragged on social media with the golden coin, just to mess with the police. And the police plays their cat and mouse game like rookies.

> People have laughed but my vineyard in Sitka, Alaska will soon be producing world-class Cabs

I had this discussion with a previous CEO at a company I worked for here in Sweden a few years ago: he (being a type-A personality, and also loving fast sports cars) was very upbeat about global warming, and saw it as an opportunity to take over the Mediterranean role of growing grapes, olives and other foods that needed a warmer climate.

I couldn’t convince him that what will probably happen instead, would be a less predictable climate, with all sorts of micro-effects (such as more rain or extreme weather) making grapes rot on the vine or olives whither in the sudden freezes.

Thinking that the micro-climate of a certain area - affected by land-masses and nearby seas and other specific circumstances - will simply move north and southwards, strikes me as very naive.
100% this -- is this really an unpopular opinion?
Wow now you have to login or install the app to read a full article. I wish CD would just use Wordpress or Ghost.
It’s a more generalized solution, that’s for sure, but it feels like it adds a lot of complexity and indirection in the process. The “flow of code execution” is all around with the callbacks, and it took me a few back and forths to actually understand how it was working.

Now, if you have a large system and many more of these “type keys”, by all means, this is an appropriate solution. But in the example of user type / creation, I beg to differ: the earlier example is much simpler to understand and reason about.
15 years ago a friend in Canada planted many fruit trees that were known not to be able to handle the winters in that part of the country.

Now he enjoys a ton of fruit you "can't grow" in that part of Canada.
Homeless people often go where the weather is tolerable. Many homeless people prefer to camp outside rather than stay in the shelter system. California is the overall best state to camp outside long-term and year-round.

It then becomes a recipe for remaining homeless because the housing is so expensive. It's easy to camp out, not easy to afford rent.

If you can't afford housing anywhere in the US, going someplace you can camp reasonably comfortably makes sense. Remaining someplace with worse weather doesn't automatically cure whatever other issues are contributing to your intractable poverty.
Strong disagree, if you like BoTW and are looking for similar you might get tricked into liking it for a bit until you notice how incredibly lackluster it is both at being BoTW (and at being interesting otherwise). The lack of emergent mechanics is a huge deal, but even the basic exploration sucks. Mondstadt is an utterly forgettable area (OK, the town is kind of fine, but the surrounding countryside is samey and unremarkable), and while Liyue is more interesting, it's mechanically awful as suddenly the verticality of the scenery increases massively so now your 'gameplay' consists of micromanaging your stamina meter as you tediously scale mountains. I quit before the new area so maybe it's better, I suppose?

And the non-BoTW elements are bad too. The 'strategic' choices in combat involve knowing what you're going to fight, matching your elements to that as best you can (oh, by the way, the two guaranteed free fire element characters are awful at actually delivering fire damage, so hope you gacha-ed one of the good ones if you need fire element). Where's the interesting strategy there? And then the actual fight is just spamming your attacks and rapid-fire switching characters so the elemental effects stack. Also, quite likely you're fighting a boss design that is literally a cube (there are multiple of these).

The 'meta-game' is knowing which bosses/domains/whatever you're going to grind x times today to maximise the chances of dropping one of the hundreds of materials you need to level up whichever character/weapon/skill you're targeting at this point. It's not exactly complex, the game tells you what drops you can expect. It's just a tedious grind, and it's cynically designed to keep you coming back to the game day after day (for people who haven't played: you can only grind these bosses/domains x times per day, and it doesn't take long before grinding up the materials you need to level up something requires multiple days of this grind. You can, of course, pay IRL money to grind a few more times in a given day. Oh, and you can only grind certain things on certain days of the week. So monday you're grinding for a weapon upgrade, tuesday for a skill upgrade, etc. It's incredibly obvious manipulation.)

And then after all that, the game levels up the world as you progress. You start out the game hitting level 10 hillichurls with your sword 5 times to kill them. After hours of playtime and leveling up and forging advanced weapons, you're now hitting level 60 hillichurls with your sword 5 times to kill them. Wow!

> The USA is currently in shambles and all this China bashing is a witch hunt to distract from the problems at home.

Eh, you're half right. The US is in shambles, but ideological competition from China isn't a distraction. The Chinese government is consciously opposed to many values that Westerners care quite deeply about: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/20/world/asia/chinas-new-lea.... The issue is that, unlike with Soviet Communism, the West may not be able to rise to the occasion this time.

According to several articles on the topic, 300K is on paper only. For instance, many commanders created fake records to then pocket the money for themselves. Another mention example, some men joined the military, to then desert, sell their uniform and then join again.

There's that and there's the notion that in a lot of countries, struggling department store chains have ended up in the hands of hedge fund investors, who promptly started squeezing them for money. It's a parasitic form of company ownership where the share holders enrich themselves and then eventually ditch what little remains of the companies they get involved with. One of the financial constructions you see a lot when that happens is the hedge-fund selling off the buildings, funneling the gains to shareholders, and leasing back the building. This raises cost which they then compensate for through "restructuring" rounds (i.e. layoffs). Once all value is squeezed out, they sell for a small price or bankruptcy is triggered. Everybody looses, except the hedge fund investors. Once companies get to the stage hedge fund investors get involved, the writing is on the wall. I think of them more as a symptom then a cause. Weakness through eroded business and failure to adapt come first.
I totally agree. For now I often advise restaurants to use something like Square: https://squareup.com/help/gb/en/article/6612-set-up-your-onl...

GrubHub or Uber Eats are criminal when it comes to pickup orders. They'll take 25% or more of the money and steal your customer relationship. If you use something like Square you pay like 3% and keep the customer.

A capitalist will sell you the noose you hang him with.

One of the cancers the West needs to deal with is people who value capitalism and personal greed over any other commitment, and the lack of political will to contain them.
That breaks significant assumptions of the WWW. Specifically, it means that devices have different addresses when accessed by different hosts, which breaks all hyperlinks the Server may send back, unless the User Agent also sends the scope ID to the Server. However, the scope ID is meant to be meaningful only in the context of the host that originated it, so RFC6874, which introduced this concept officially in URLs, prohibits sending it.

Overall, this means that, in practice, WWW on IPv6 does not support link-local addresses. This is especially true given that none of the major browsers support them.
> Unfortunately, at the same time, there were growing concerns with a user-bot ring that made a website and scraper known as "dis.cool", which farmed user information.

> Most library developers felt the changes were misdirected and targeted the wrong type of bot. The threat model was based on user-bots being bad actors, and not regular bots, while the changes targeted regular bots. We also felt that it was easy to sidestep the restrictions by just having a bot ring, similar to what is now done today with user-bots.

> Discord claimed [the new requirements, including government ID] would help with security and privacy by preventing malicious bots from growing and obtaining sensitive data. The library developers responded that it wouldn't help since malicious bots had to be invited and the crux of malicious bots were, and still are, user-bots.

Seems like a reasonable description of the issue to me, covering everything in that comment.

If you feel it gets lost in the words then I think the proper thing to criticize is the writing style, not the credibility.

(If the term is unclear, "user-bot" means it's a normal user account being used in an automated way.)
California population = 39.51M

= 161,548 homeless [1] (0.41% of total population)

72% = 116315 people

Somehow, I thought that figure is significantly larger, when I visited SF, CA - walking around town I could see homeless people everywhere.

It's not supported in any browser, so good luck using it on the web. Even more, the semantics for such a URL as defined by RFC6784 means that common HTTP features like redirects can't work: client sends a request to http://[fe80::6%7], the User Agent sends a request to server with "Host: http://[fe80::6]", and receieves a 302 response with "Location: https://[fe80::6]" . What can client do next?
How about rehab and housing at the same time? Many people didn't become serious addicts until after they became homeless.
Not any different from other class-action settlements. That batterygate one was settled and yet people are still waiting for payments… but they got good PR out of it.
I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people rent because it’s the only option they can afford right now, even at high salaries. If you don’t yet own a home, making a meaningful down payment will take years and years of savings. To afford a mortgage on a $500k house in a west coast city, you’re looking at $100k of savings.

The point is that loads of people would love to own a house or upgrade their living situation, but are priced out of it. These people are all competing for rentals, driving rent up. As a result, it’s not hard to simply not be able to afford rent, and end up on the street.

This would be fixed by drastically increasing supply, so that housing at the low end of the market is more affordable, both rentals and ownership.

The general point of this thread, though, is that everyone who already bought a house cannot afford to loose that value, as it’s likely the biggest financial risk and investment they have. This means there is essentially no pressure for the market to decrease prices. (I imagine developers wouldn’t want to ever make less rent either.)

So long as housing is treated as an investment for the property owners, there is only pressure for prices to go up.

According to their model number decoder, the difference between --R- and --A- is the former is 5400RPM with 64MB of cache, and the latter 5400RPM with 256MB of cache. Unfortunate that they didn't change the part number to denote CMR vs SMR, and most people would rightly think that 256MB of cache is better than 64MB (but in this case it could be being used to hide the additional latency of SMR), so I think this is definitely in the area of deception.
