As a US English speaker "I'm going to hospital" sounds a little bit off in that British English excessively sophisticated way. But then I realized that most of the time if you're sick the main thing is you're going to the institution to get treatment, not trying to specify which location you are going to. Its almost like if we went around saying "I go to the school" or "I'm in the college" which sounds pretty dumb.

India isn't reporting success in the real world, what evidence do you have except some shady video? Covid went down in a similar fashion in other states in India too at the same time.
India is lying and systematically undercounting their cases, hospitalizations and deaths by as much as 10 times. India does not have a robust public health system or effective record keeping. They can't even record every birth let alone keep track of deaths in a pandemic.

Exactly. Most companies do know that intellectual property doesn't mean shit in China, but choose to do business with them anyways because they'd prefer the ability to manufacture things for ridiculously cheap. Just like how companies in developed nations leverage their capital advantage to make many times more profit than their Chinese suppliers, Chinese companies leverage their manufacturing advantage to capture IP from companies of developed nations. If you consider the latter theft, then you should consider the former theft as well.
Fun fact: the very first time I heard about React and JSX, at a conference in 2014 or 2015, this is actually how it was presented. The presenter created a script tag with type="text/jsx" and jumped right in. I assume that was the official way to use it at the time; I got the impression they expected it to become a web standard eventually. JS transpiling and bundling weren't really a common thing yet, as far as I know.

Of course we know how that story ended. It's dramatically more efficient to build ahead of time (lacking any kind of native support). Still, part of me misses the days when it was normal to just open an HTML file and start hacking.

Maybe one day we'll get native templating of some kind in the browser. It kind of amazes me that we haven't yet.
I get that Grubhub, DoorDash, and other industry players have created value but the I wish there was a white-label software stack that is easily administered by less technical people so the restaurants can take control back. I’m thinking something akin to a Wordpress 1-click install.

Apps like grub hub are very slick but the other end of the spectrum are terrible HTML pages that look like they were designed 20 years ago. There’s a wide gap and a lot if opportunity for something in the middle.

I don’t mind calling a restaurant direct. I would be happy with a simple menu and an easy to find phone number. I’m often weary of dark practices where GrubHub lists their own number, not the restaurants real number, and charges a commission or “finders fee.”
Dang dude, this is clearly bothering you. You should find a professional therapist to talk through this with, sincerely.
lol. Hilarious. 7,872 new apartments open in 2021. That should cover the bay area housing crisis. I am sure we will see a sharp drop in prices next year - due to those nice apartments in Avalon at Mission Bay. lol. Was this a joke? The bay area has a population of 7.7 million. Ill let you get back to your lazy detective work. You are sarcastic right? Hahaha.

It's fine that they exist. The problem is we've zoned out of existence other options.

Directly next to where I live there are multiple people living in the hillside.

Each day for the past year+ they park their BMW, Honda Accord, and Toyota Camry on our street, and then walk off into the park, hop a fence, and down to wherever it is their tents are.

It's really perplexing to see someone driving a ~2010 clean BMW while choosing to live in the hillside. My determination is that they're simply choosing that lifestyle for whatever reason.

This really depends on where in California you are looking. SoCal? Sure, desert. But the San Joaquin valley was full of freshwater lakes and marshes before the invaders started using it for farming.

In that American English way, "I'm going to ____" has a different meaning if the following word is a noun or verb. So reading "hospital" as a verb really distorts that meaning. "How does one hospital?" In Texas, "going to" is pretty much always assumed about to go to a place where "going to" as in about to do something is solved by using "fixin' to" ;-)

> Type stability lets us mutably alias, which atomics and Cell do not.

Well, that's not the case :) Both Cell and atomics let you mutably alias, in the sense most languages mean. They don't let you mutably alias in the Rust `&mut` / "restrict" sense, which is far more powerful and would be unsound in any language, but they do let you mutably alias.

> Vale also considers changing between Some<T> and None<T> to be a type-unstable operation, and the automatic borrow checker (HGM) detects the possibility for that (because the field was marked non-final), to not do auto-borrowing for it. We might decide to use something called the Undead Cycle to help with the Opt<T> case, though it comes with interesting tradeoffs.

That's interesting and good to know! I'm glad you are taking this seriously.

> There's a lot more to Vale, such as how our region borrow checker can enable zero-cost structured concurrency without the Send/Sync requirements, and the better RAII support. In the end, the only similarities we really share with Rust are the syntax and (hopefully!) the speed.

A lot of the stuff in Rust is also found in other languages :) In this case, it sounds to me like Send/Sync are thoroughly built into your language, to the point that annotations are not needed--which is very nice, but not completely unique (this is the basis for memory safety in C# and Java, after all!), but may be so when combined with regions. From what it sounds like, though, I'm having a very hard time telling the difference between regions and (generational) arenas--they sound like they have almost exactly the same tradeoffs. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Overall, seems like an interesting language, and I will definitely stay on the lookout.

I would also be happy to see some kind of Apache-like or EFF-like nonprofit organization create an aggregator for the white-labeled software so there would only be 1 app to install and search on. Taking a much much lower cut.
Ask HN: Connecting at Intersections of Niche Interests?
I live remotely, and it seems difficult to connect with those of similar niche interests (or combinations of).

The lowest frictions way I can think of would be to enter a series of niche interests (eg. land managements and robotics) and find discussions of other people similarly interested in that intersection.

Does such a thing exist?
> the additional funding is actually spent on improving the game

Developers are actually incentivised to continue to add content to the game as much as possible, lest the whales get bored and move to something else. Genshin impact has seen many updates which add entire new regions to the map, complete with quests and new characters. This isn't something BoTW would ever be able to justify.

> all games race to the bottom for whales ... crowding out genuinely good games

I don't think these are mutually exclusive. Whales are also people and also enjoy playing good games. Genshin Impact is a good game by any measure. Its gameplay and core game loop were clearly designed by people who love games. The fact that characters and items are unlocked using a gacha system doesn't take away from this.
As a H1B holder who's also a cancer survivor and suffering from severe health issues, I can tell you it's hell. I cry at least once a week at the fact that I cannot take a break without having to destroy my life and my family's life and 20+ years of life built up here. Everything this person said is absolutely true. The high compensation comes at a very high cost. It's not just mental or physical but also moral. You follow some arbitrary process since some higher up decided that it's the best way to measure productivity or performance. You underlevel people because you have to have a high bar. So someone with 20+ years of experience with subject matter expertise (not me) is a 'developing' Principal engineer. You have to hit arbitrary dates with moving goal posts and convince your team that they are doing God's work.
No, that would be Yugoslavia in the early 90s.
> Does the NY Times even print non editorial news anymore? I can't even remember the last time I saw something posted from them that was investigative journalism.

This seems naive. I'm sure the people looking for SROs or other low income choices are not the people buying $1M houses, but they probably have a good deal of overlap with people who are buying houses that are at the lowest rung on the ladder, who themselves have overlap with the next cohort, etc.

It's a market. Changing it in a major way at the bottom will have knock-on effects through the whole market.

Of course, more directly, people with $1M houses might also be highly motivated to avoid "the wrong kind of person" being able to afford housing any where near them, their schools, etc.

The bit about the crush to get something out at all costs which wasn't then looked at for days hits home hard.

I've seen that trick pulled many times over my career and I've learnt to just shrug and let it roll.

Unless you can explain to me why it is so absolutely critical that it needs to go today in a form I can understand then I'm not going remotely above and beyond to make it work out that way.

Stressing out my entire team to make an arbitrary deadline imposed from outside for invisible reasons is the definition of me not doing my job as a leader.

It takes experience and practice to learn to manage upwards but it's an intensely useful skill.

Start not with explaining what you can't/won't do but instead with what you can/will do - most people are reasonable most of the time and if they are unreasonable anyway then whatever you do will not be right/enough.
The parts youa re talking about are not city at all imo, its precisely the places that try to get as far away as possible from SF, within SF.
Your tax burden would stay the same, relative to future buyers, if prices stay flat. At which some point, they're bound to plateau. How many people or institutions will buy single family homes once they're $10 million each, but the median household income is still somewhere around $100k? It's a subtle point, but the benefits of Prop 13 aren't a function of time, they're a function of appreciation. It just so happens to be the decades following Prop 13 came with great price appreciation, some of that attributable to Prop 13 itself, but most of it attributable to local rule of land use policy.
Much appreciated! Talking out loud, as you obviously know all this:

> You either get vol or you don’t.

I think I get it, on a conceptual level -- option prices include the market's expectation of future underlying variance, so if you subtract/hedge-out everything else, you can trade that fluctuating expectation. With dispersion, you're taking advantage of index options and those of the components eventually converging, while being mindful of the changing correlation of components.

> you won’t really get it until you watch the interaction of every leg in your book and the resulting risk/pnl. Once you see that, it’s like ascending to a higher plane.

You're spot on. I can tell I'm missing something "clicking" at a more intuitive level in my head, something that feels close, because my book almost does what I expect, but.. there's always some "error" in the pnl at the end of the week. So I must be missing an "aha" moment.

> There is no better way than doing. It’s not slow.

My "real job" skills (C/C++, numerical programming, systems engineering) I only learned by doing, I guess no reason to expect this would be any different! Though, I can easily write and test code on my laptop with no consequences if it's wrong. I feel like I'd learn fast if I could set up a trade experiment, click a button, and then see how it fared at the end of the week, immediately, instead of waiting the week. I've got dozens of questions I think would be answered quickly that way.

But you're right, the path to learn more is clear, I'm gonna start paper trading those experiments.

Thanks for your comment, it's really encouraging. I can't wait for Monday.
But how was it pronounced at the time Shakespeare actually wrote Macbeth?

If you listen to a performance of Shakespeare that replicates the original pronunciation, it's wildly different.

I'd wager the "thuh" pronunciation is a modern simplification and not something Shakespeare accounted for.

I think it means that there is a high chance that causation also means correlation. You see a lot of people dying after they refuse to vaccinate themselves. Can we be sure of the causation? Maybe not 100% but better safe than sorry. More often than not.
Again, laughable. Care to justify that figure?

That's not nearly as bad as the 16 billion Uighurs the Chinese have in camps right now.
Prop 13 takes away the normal downside to rising home prices.
You litterly have to knock on the doors,as others already mentioned. For most people just the thought of doing so makes them want to quit. Also, it needs to be an iterative process: knock on the door,learn some mistakes, improve,do more knocking. Eventually, you start getting better at it, start seeing where it's better to walk away immediately, because of all the red flags,etc. This is the stuff very few are willing to do. The rest will try Upwork/Fiverr/insert_new-_platform_name.
> You're lucky (and not that I want to intentionally bring up this card, but I bet you're a burly caucasian male).

Stop this. I'm a non-burly non-caucasian male and this (being mugged, robbed, or undergoing physical violence) has never happened to me even once. Maybe you're unlucky? Drawing from your personal anecdotes gets tiring.

> I've witnessed multiple retail theft incidents. I've been spat on, literally out of nowhere.

I've seen this in SF. I've also seen it in LA, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City, and Chicago. I've seen it in NYC also, but not in Manhattan. The difference is that in most other big cities in the US, everyone drives around everywhere, so you're insulated from the folks on the street, or you clearly know which neighborhoods to avoid.

> A coworker had his garage broken into and a bike stolen. Another mentioned a friend whose backpack was snatched. (All asians)

A garage is race-blind, come on. I've lived in a house full of East Asians in the Sunset and this never happened to me. I lived in SOMA with caucasians and this happened to me (well us, nothing of mine was stolen).

I think what you're seeing is that SF is physically a lot less class-segregated than other US cities and that folks drive around here a lot less than they do in other cities. In LA, the crazies mostly hang around Skid Row and the Arts District and if you spend most of your life outside these places (or in a car, as Angelenos are won't to do) you'll never encounter them. In Chicago if you stick to the Loop and downtown. you'll only see gleaming apartments. In Houston, Austin, and much of Salt Lake City (and honestly almost everyone in LA), most everyone just zooms around in a car and only interacts with the homeless or panhandlers as they drive around. As such most affluent folks know to avoid low-income or run-down neighborhoods and so never really interact with the homeless.

In SF you can walk down Valencia between 17th and 22nd and it'll look shiny and fancy, like something out of a promotional poster about "Modern Living". Then you walk a block over to Guerrero and you'll see someone with scabs all over lying on the street naked. You walk down 7th or 8th and see fancy new cafes, but then you walk down 6th and see folks shooting up in broad daylight. Some of this is SF's more tolerant atmosphere for the mentally-ill homeless; in other cities they just get harassed until they accumulate in a part of town that doesn't have the residents, police funding, or political capital to push them out.

I'm not saying SF is a bed of roses and I do think the police here need to take a much harder line on property crime, but I think a lot of the negative experiences here are motivated by SF's lack of physical segregation and its walking-first culture. America has historically just relegated the poor and homeless to the streets and used cars to literally and figuratively zoom away from them. Now that cities are coming back into vogue, the US will have to confront the fact that it never fixed its poverty problem but just shoved it out of sight.

I took a greyhound across the south west in the early 90s. The bus would stop at each prison along the way from Texas on, everyone that got on was going to LA where they could live rough.

Whenever they do these investigations of how many of the chronic homeless are local or imported problems, they ask questions like “where did you become homeless?” (Crashing on a friends couch doesn’t count) and always avoid the question “when did you move here?” (So someone moving in a year ago to make it big and became homeless 3 months in would count as a local also).

They did a study in Seattle that found that most of the homeless there were previously housed in Seattle, but also that most were housed in … pioneer square. That would be like someone in LA saying they were last housed in skid row.
All I’ve got is Lacrosse
Nice feedback loop you have there! (re last point). If you can point to the actual proven ‘indicators of risk’ instead of flagging every potential issue onder the sun, everyone is going to love you!

I look forward to a summary report on incidents somewhere in the future ;)
It's also because big tech has a lot of money. Many other companies can't afford to pay those salaries, and they would if they could.

At FB, most ICs are not hired for a specific team in advance, and instead choose between (for SWE, a long list of) teams during the Bootcamp process. You can chat to future team mates (not just manager or lead) and ask them straight out about that. (Some people also ask for the half-ly survey results for that team as well.)

If you’re being hired for a team specifically (at another company, say), ask for a “follow-up” meeting with future team mates after offer as a condition for accept. You have a lot of power at that point.

Yes, I appreciate the level of detail and the explanation of the thought process as he tried to break into the system. It really gives me a feel for what it's like and makes me think, "Hey I could learn how to do that."

I'd love recommendations for similar stories, if anyone has anything to share. I can't find it now, but I read a few blog posts by a guy who was starting to get into electronics (and helped out with the Burning Man Rainbow Bridge) and those posts have me the same sense of "oh, so that's how it works."
