Having literally just yesterday ridden in a bumper car driven by my 5 year old, I can safely say I'd rather let my Tesla drive. And I don't even have the full Self Driving beta, I just have "enhanced autopilot"

There is more to self-driving than "Object Permanence", it's a bit of a false equivalency. My 5 year old can recognize letters / ABCs better than car... still wouldn't want her to drive.

Is FSD perfect? Absolutely not. I know some people who use it don't see it this way but I see it more as augmenting my driving than replacing me. For now, at least. But a 7 month old would have a negative impact on my driving.
Nice work right there. One thing that makes me appreciate it even more is the fact that it's written in rust without the authors trying to make it into a primary selling point, which is annoyingly common in these days("X written in rust").
I massively disagree - the reason people want their own BBQ is that they dont know, and hence dont trust their neighbours. My parents knew ~100 people on the same street, these days average person know zero.
How so? Did you have to go through your uni library website to search the paper? I usually find the paper through Google Scholar, log in to the website using my uni account and download the PDF from there directly.

I love SciHub. I used it a lot when I was in a small college that did not have that type of access, but after I moved, I never used it again.
What individuals are you talking about that are not covered by '(or people)'?
It would be great if this was available for purchase from somewhere. And if it also included an on off button! I've got a lot of dead batteries (because children toys) and it would be nice using them to get some light for night reading!
Title is inaccurate. It should read:

> Dutch cities want to ban property investors from buying some kinds of apartments in some or all neighborhoods

I'm all for this. However, it is insufficient, because small-scale property investors may not be considered as such, but as buying an apartment for a family member or a friend etc. Or they will just "lend" money to someone to buy the apartment.

Generally, the situation in which individuals have full ownership of apartments or houses other than those they live in is problematic.
But it isn't "assume nothing", because it's just a different assumption. Science doesn't treat each new human person as if they were not conscious. Science works off reasonable inferences all the time. We reasonably assume that a full-looking bag is full, that big objects are heavy, that snakes are dangerous.

I think it is reasonable to assume that domesticated animals are at least somewhat intelligent. After all, they convinced us to shelter, protect and feed them!
I am very sorry, I mixed it up with another paper.. The publisher where the fee came up was Wiley, for the Computer Graphics Forum. It’s a super duper golden access.
Libraries can get you a physical copy of pretty much any paper or book for completely free. But somehow getting a digital copy is not on the table? It’s just insane, I would happily pay for a service that did this even if it included drm or something. The journals would never go for it though because they live off of the insane rates research institutions pay to subscribe.
Of course nobody wants these jobs. A lot of positions were filled by tourists and travelers who stayed there for a little while and worked a bit to earn side money.

- Staff at a restaurant is £8 an hour, that is minimum wage.

- Expect two shifts far apart, around 11am-2pm and 7pm-11pm.

- Work on Saturday and Sunday and some of the week. You will never know more than a few days ahead when you are expected to work.
I missed what the free_sized() is good for. From a naive look it seems redundant.

Still no computed goto?

Some progress on standardizing inline assembler syntax would be nice too.

Or maybe it won't matter anymore because everyone will be using either gcc or clang.
I agree that evictions is an extreme measure and to be used as a last resort. I think it should be part of the policy instruments to be used, under the right circumstances. e.g. if you make 1.5x the wage that would give you a right to a social home, averaged over 3 years, then you get a 2 year period to move out.

That means you won't move out until 5 years after you've started earning more, and if your earnings were temporarily high, you get to stay. But if you're consistently earning a ton, you have to leave.

That's not so crazy considering that there's people who're low-income on a 10y waiting list for the home you'd be occupying, there has to be a mechanism that makes you have to leave. Yes it's hard to find something great at 3-4k, but it's even harder for someone at 2k who's 'spot' you're occupying. That could be limited to 5 years.

Everyone has a hard time finding a place, but why are some rich getting subsidised indefinitely at the expense of some poor?

But apart from evictions, I've never understood why we can't simply have dynamic rental rates adjusted to the market rate. I know people who live in Zuid for 500 a month in a home that's 1500 market rate, and their household income is 3x the average. Why can they not be made to pay 1500 to the social housing association? When they move out, the home reverts back to the subsidised rate for a low-income family.

I understand this can't be done on old contracts with no contractual clauses that make this possible, contracts are contracts after all. But we've had this situation for many years, and new contracts still allow the possibility of consequence-free scheefwonen. That's pretty absurd to me.

The most awaited IPOs from India
The Roman Empire had a middle class. The middle ages had a middle class. In early civilization, during cattle culture, there was a middle class. But historically middle classes consisted of small landowners in the countryside.

What you are probably referring to is a large urban middle class consisting of landless skilled workers, which requires modernity, as all previous middle classes were built around rural land ownership, or going back to pre-agricultural periods, ownership of cattle. The key ingredient of the French revolution is the battle between rural and urban, between the farmer and the craftsmen, with the craftsmen gaining ascendancy over and eventually slaughtering the farmers.

Renters would pay the same rents they do now.

For some landlords that would cover their tax bill. Others not so much.

It would precipitate a collapse in property values, but not a rise in rents.
I built a joule thief flashlight as part of a workshop at a security conference in 2018. We bought a kit that had all the parts, and then soldered them together. For a beginner soldering project, this is excellent.

The main flaw in both patent and copyright law is that the terms of protection are entirely too long. It's now over a century for some corporate owned copyrights. That directly contradicts the goal of copyright: to advance science and the arts by encouraging the building of a commons. The terms of exclusivity were meant as incentives to that end, not personal or institutional rewards. Lately I've been thinking that those terms should have been gradually shortened as the pace of change and speed of communications (including opportunities for sales) increased. At this point IP law is actively hindering the advance of science and art. Projects like Sci-Hub are restoring sanity to a system that lawmakers have for various reasons sold out to the barbarians.

>For color and fragrance, why don't we value other natural sources in the same way? Beetle carapaces or bird feathers can be colorful and all sorts of organic matter can be fragrant. But we aren't drawn to use them in the same way, for the most part.

Um, people have been using feathers for a long time. The native people of the "New World" used them to the point of it being a stereotype. Also, how much of this other organic matter have you collected because of its fragrance? As far as hard shells go, there are also historical evidence of people using them primarily as protection more than a trinket to display at home.

>When do you suppose the earliest ancestor who gathered flowers for aesthetic appreciation was?

I guess it would be after we figured out how to not live in a cave. After developing ability to communicate. After we weren't the ones being hunted. Then again, how in the world am I to know when/if the first Mr Neanderthal didn't pick a daisy to bring to Miss Neanderthal in an attempt to woo her affection.

>in that they presume that flowers in particular were already appealing.

I'm really shocked that you just cannot fathom or imagine someone looking at a flower and thinking "wow, that looks really nice. i'm going to investigate it." then realizing, "wow, this smells nice too. i'm going to pick it to share with someone". then, they take it home, and they see the response it has. The Mrs says "ooh, that is lovely." Then Mr FlowerPicker says, hey, I should do that again.

>Chimps don't do it, so far as I know. Other great apes don't

Apes don't drive cars. Apes don't cook food. Apes don't cut down trees and build structures to live in. What's your point?

He was famously against eugenics long before that was the accepted position.
We're not morally obligated to accept the status quo just because things always worked this way. Just because some entrenched monopolists that provide negative value to society managed to find a comfortable rent seeking position, we're morally obligated to pay tribute? Hell no.

> Where else in life is that a valid option? "I'd love to have a snickers bar, but I don't want to pay a dollar for it, so I guess I just take it."

Don't compare physical things to artificially scarce data. They are not the same. Physical things can't be copied infinitely and distributed worldwide at negligible costs.

With data, there is no economy. Economies arise when things are scarce. Data isn't. There is nothing to economize.

> Obviously, there are differences between that example and sci-hub but for the core of the issue, these differences are negligible in my opinion.

These differences are not negligible. Quite the opposite, they are key. The fact is once created data is worth nothing. It's infinitely abundant. Scientists and peer reviewers are the truly scarce resources here and they don't depend on journals to exist.

These monopolists try to make scientific articles artificially scarce but unlike the entertainment industry they don't actually provide any value whatsoever. They're just a brand name.
@benrapscallion has pretty much mentioned everything. It works and has been working fine for the past 7 years that I have been using it. You can self host but I felt $24 per year for something I use daily is worth it.

Its cross platform and has an excellent Android app that I use. Has some nifty AI. text filtering capabilities that help to sort articles. It does both river of news and email inbox style rss display. Fast support as well and fairly active development that you can track on their repo

After Google Reader shut down I tried a lot of different services and Newsblur felt to me the most closest and natural successor. Its interface is simple and has been largely unchanged, so helps with muscle memory.

The Netherlands is just too rich that it is working against itself. We have created a society where every person wants their own house- 17 million people 10 million houses. And the Netherlands is a magnet for migrants- compared to most of the world the streets are paved with gold.

And no matter how much the prices go up people can and will pay. Unless there's a mayor economic recession things will not get better.
Ha, I did maths at uni and when I first graduated, the role you described was basically my dream job.

What you call the title is up to you, “data scientist” will probably net you a lot of people who mostly want to build machine-learning models, maybe “applied statistician” or “data analyst” is a better bet? Hiring out of a local uni is possibly also a decent choice if you can deal with having to bring some maths/stats grads’ business knowledge up to scratch.
"Adapt"? They've "adapted" by milking Amsterdam tenants dry for many years already.

And the "tragedy of the commons" is essentially a red-Herring fallacy. It is perhaps valid at the most in a free-for-all rather than a commons. Where you have a commons, you have relations between the users of the common resources, and social structures for decision making about sharing and use, which prevent depletion of resources.

Sort of. They make sure the GMs or Chief Editors understand the agenda or what not to write about. Otherwise, it's selection bias. The people they elevate into editorial power are true believers of the agenda they want to support.

Ex 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4sNoKJqj7k Skip past the hype, the key phrase from the GM (paraphrased) "Sometimes it's not about the viewer, it's about what your CEO reads"

Ex 2: Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow are both examples promoting someone who is a true believer of an agenda being promoted and given a big platform to expound those views. This is why the elite doesn't have to coerce key public figures; those public figures can only get in that position if they are loyal to the agenda.
I think there is a lot to learn from what you said, but I just want to remind everyone else reading your comment that it is anecdotal.

I have experience with both research in physics and chemistry in multidisciplinary teams, and my experience is the exact opposite to yours in terms of competition and the willingness to help others. Heck, the last time I released some results on arXiv a group that is notoriously unfriendly suddenly reached out and was all friendly. It turns out that after discussing with us about our results they released a half-finished draft on something similar that they have been working on, and presumably tried to stay ahead/dilute the significance of our results by getting it published in a peer-reviewed journal first. Also, during the time we were doing our work, nobody responded when we were asking if we could access data or algorithms. I don't blame anyone and we're definitely not entitled to anyone's help, but that's just a counter example and obviously depends on how well you know the field, everyone else in the field, reputation, etc.

I personally enjoyed using LaTeX for writing manuscripts for physics-oriented topics, but I don't mind Word for chemistry manuscripts. In fact, I would argue that writing chemistry manuscripts in LaTeX sucks for most chemists (maybe except for theoretical and some physical chemists) simply because editing chemical structures, reactions, equipment setup and process diagrams is easy with an embedded chemical editor object in a Word document.

I'm not familiar with how they work internally at publishers when getting manuscripts ready for publishing, but most journals require you to use a Word template with ready-to-use style rules and adhere to certain easy-to-follow formatting rules for everything else. Remembering my early days of using LaTeX (when I was already familiar with using Word for manuscripts), I could say the same about how cumbersome it is to do certain things in LaTeX without even talking about chemical structures. Particularly when it comes to journals that charge subscription fees, I'm not sure why you seem to suggest that it's on the authors to get the manuscript "camera ready". If nothing else, I have seen just as many crap-looking papers formatted with LaTeX than those with Word, and the same can be said about good-looking papers. So... I guess it just depends on the authors themselves and/or the editors.

For much the same reasons as what I have said about competition, I think your last comment is just as biased against your own experience than everything else in my opinion.

"Generally I like supporting people's hard work"

You did not support anyone's hard work. The researchers who wrote the paper receive none of the money paid to publishing companies, nor do the peer reviewers, and sometimes not even the editors (and in my experience, paid editors from Springer introduce more errors than they fix).

Before the Internet, before TeX and related tools, those fees were needed to cover the cost of printing copies journals and shipping them to libraries. Prior to the 1970s academic publishers were typically run by universities and charged only break-even fees, and few complained because there was no better alternative that could effectively spread academic research around. Then a bunch of commercial publishers began eyeing academic journals (probably because they knew they would never have to pay the authors) and from the 1980s onward academic publishing has been for-profit. Instead of going away when the Internet rendered printed journals obsolete, these companies have instead opted to not print most journals and charge fees for online access.
