One group of people playing soccer, football, or baseball can take up almost the entire turf space in a small popular park. Think of Dolores Park is SF. On weekends it's packed with people picnicking. If instead 20 people were playing baseball, it would not be safe for anyone to picnic nearby because of the risk for errant baseballs.

On the other extreme end of things, one person hitting golf balls in a park can make the park unsafe for everyone else. At some point, the government institutes regulations to keep the park fun/safe/useful for the largest number of people.
Do you mean ancap ways?
This particular case could alternatively have been suitably posted as an "Ask HN". Not every case could be.

The current submission only worked for me because I'd been to that page before and the submission title told me what to look for. Someone who doesn't know what to look for will be at best puzzled.
One wonders if the Cambodian bat virus genome is in the database that the Wuhan Institute of Virology took offline.
I had that complaint when working in a 5 story building and spending a third of my awake hours in meetings here and there.

That 30$ dongle become either a dangling bit you'll have on your laptop all day, it will be hiting stuff, get under the laptop, or worse case scenario stuck between the screen and the keyboard when you don't pay attention. As it'd always dangling it also become loose over time and get flacky accordingly.

Back then having a HDMI port was standard, no dongle being the norm. So yeah, having the choice between needing a permanent dongle or not, the answer is obvious.

What changed for me is WFH, otherwise I thing I'd still wish for no dongle until USB-C projectors and displays rule the world.
Apartments are still expensive but they are affordable. The average person could realistically buy one while house/land prices are rising much faster than savings so if you aren't already able to buy, you become further and further behind.

The HK problem seems to be that they are so overpopulated that even apartments have run out of space. Most of the world does not have this problem and will never have this problem because the enviornment would collapse before the population of Australia or the US fills apartments on every block of land available.
I imagine tracking this with lag creates possibilities for a lawmaker to take advantage of the expected "disclosure bump" in various ways. Wonder if any of them do.
> it is amazing how many people are regularly on/touching their phone for something while driving

Yep. About 10 years ago, I took a bus from Boston to Hartford and I spent most of my time looking down into cars along the highway.

Aside from drivers looking at their phones, I saw people block their entire field of view by unwrapping burgers and lifting them up to eat, fixing their clothing, makeup, etc.
Question for people in this situation - did you worry you wouldn't get to spend enough time with your kids? Work/life balance can be zero-sum and starting a new business generally leans hard on the work side of things.

Yeah, it's even big market. "Successful" traders start paid newletters with stock alerts so people can follow their trades.
Authoritarian - a corporation is directed in a completely top-down manner, with singular authority vesting in the executive.

They obviously exist within a larger society where workers are free to quit, have some rights that can't be taken away, are bound by agreements, etc. But the organizational structure itself is strictly hierarchical.

The problem comes when these assumptions are baked into systems that are supposed to serve wider society. A corporation can tell their employees that they must use only certain computers to do their work, modify those devices, revoke access on a whim, etc. Whereas in wider society, relationships should be that of independent peers interacting through well-defined protocols, with each party free to make their own choices.
Rust's pedantic safety rules (enforced by the compiler) give you a hard time as somebody who expects to be productive quickly. It's as if you learn programming a second time in your life, but this time with different focus. This is not an experience for everybody, to understand that you did dangerous things in the past and now are enforced to avoid them. It is much easier if you have a Mentor or a ively seek out for the helpful online community by the way.

About Go, well if you are not tageting C-like performance and not looking for pedantic savety, maybe it might be a better option.

Interesting is that the wise people behind both languages decided against inheritance and deal with it in their own ways. It's worth giving Rust and Go a chance imao. Especially as C/C++ developer you can learn a lot to get better when coming back with more sensibility about ownership, lifetime and composition. It will make you grow as a programmer, especially Rust if you ask me.
I'm of the opinion that elected officials should be required to disclosed transactions before they make them. A 45 day post-transaction window is plenty of time to make use of insider information.

I can't help but feel as though the people who agree with Apple's (and many copy cats) insistence on USB-C only and refusal to put a single USB A or HDMI port in the computer are simply out of touch. The only people I know who like it always cite the same thing: "docking stations". But if you had a laptop with 1 USB-C you could still use your docking station, but the _vast_ majority of users wouldn't have the struggle to find/buy/maintain/pack up/not lose their USB-C to HDMI and USB-A dongle. Every non-hardcore laptop user I know _hates_ not having a HDMI port and having to use a tiny dongle to plug in their mouse. And the desk docking stations they have all suck. They end up using 4k monitors at 30hz because their docking station can't handle it. And _they don't notice_ because their accustomed to computers sucking.

When I see a fat laptop with ports. I am happy.

The framework wins for me because of repairability. But I know countless people will love the customizability of the ports.

Well, every hedge fund/market maker has already been aware of this and they're managing far more money than the TikTokers so they move markets a lot more than TikTok.

So yeah, I don't think this really changes anything and all this information should already be priced in by the time the majority of TikTokers are trading on it.

I really wish there was some data on the type of returns Robinhood traders are getting (people who trade actively).

I'd definitely wager they're not beating the S&P 500 and they're getting even more screwed by short term capital gains tax rates (since their holding period is probably less than a year).
As someone who also grows algae, I can tell you that unless you're running circulating pumps / aerators with solar it's sort of an uphill battle to make things "carbon neutral". Even if you don't construct the bioreactor from clear pvc and use natural sunlight. In high school I did a lot of work with UTEX [0], a portion of the plant science dept at UT Austin with a sole focus on algae (they operate the third largest repository in the world!).

In high school, I just thought it was cool because I could have as much free algae as possible, which otherwise would be $125 each.

Lately I've been primarily growing Chlorella (gold standard of hardy algae), an endemic strain to my current location, and Haematococcus pluvialis - a strain that produces large amounts of the anti-oxidant astaxanthin[1]. h

Can you point to the actual stats on that page? I skimmed and went to their Carsurance source link and it was garbage, even admitting that they were counting mistakes by other drivers causing issues like being rear ended and sideswiped as incidents against the self driving cars. And somewhere one of the articles said there were less fatalities during active driver assistance.

It gives some insight into the worker mentality. Investing in premium office space at the height of a huge real estate bubble during a huge shift to remote work says a lot about Google's confidence in office space remaining in high demand, especially since we have on record Google execs pushing for going back to the office. I don't know if this is just Google doubling down but it's an interesting move on their part given the timing.
Right. And it's not like Google would be making the decision to "not do business with Russia". It would be Russia making that call.

At issue here is an app that would give the Russian pro-democracy opposition a fighting chance. Google is now complicit in destroying that opposition.

But let us not exclude Apple from this discussion either they made the same call blocking the pro-democracy app from their app-store too.

So we see a big part of the problem is the duopoly of phone-app-stores Google and Apple have. US government should do something about that in the name of free competition and since it seems to make it possible to use them for crushing democracy. America is pro-democracy after all, at least most of it.

Let us say BOTH Apple and Google were to provide the said pro-democracy app in their stores. I wonder if Russia would choose to not do business with both of them.

Remember Google, do no evil.
Wow, the immune system is complex.
Sounds extremely short sighted on so many levels.
I understand your view about petitioning to change the law. For an employee of a company such as Google, is their only recourse, when disagreeing with a position their company holds, to quit? The employees of companies like Google generate much of the value, but they don't wield the power that shareholders have with their votes, and they aren't writing legislation to pass like lobbyists are.

Honestly people need to step back and ask if they're out-performing the market, and if so what risks they're taking to do so. Most portfolios are up over a 52 week period right now. I keep track of three numbers: what my risk-adjusted portfolio is doing, what my "fun money" portfolio is doing, and what the S&P 500 is doing. The numbers, correcting for holding periods, are 10.96%, 16.28%, 15.78%.

IOW the place I keep most of my money is underperforming $SPY and the hyper risky bets are barely out-performing $SPY.

I'd be fascinated to know what the Pelosi Portfolio is making YTD.
Congratulate on your journey.

The ability to build a SaaS, sell it as a subscription to other is amazing. Compare with our old parents, without a computer, they need a huge chunk of money to setup a biz(buying equipment, office space etc).

Especially when you're one of the erly to market(look like keygen.sh is a great one) and can move fast enough, in a market that people are willing to pay more than $50 per month, it can grow very quick.

Good job rolling it out and make it sustaisable.
3 to 4 leetcode-lite engineering problems plus a couple of architecture/discussion interviews. I'd say most of the interviewers do a good job of not being elitist/snobby or using impractical problems.

My personal interview problem isn't designed to be tricky, clever, or outside of something you might actually do at work. It's my job to help candidates do their best. I make a point of conducting an above average number of interviews, too.

I refuse to read resumes before interviews unless I'm interviewing the candidate about work experience. I don't want any bias about education or work history.
Twitter? That's the most toxic place on the internet. But I don't blame them for what their users want any more than I do FB.

As for the Wikipedia link, 90% of that stuff falls under my initial comment of people using the platform in ways other people wish they wouldn't, so I don't find it to be FB's fault. The privacy stuff I think is real, but it's so standard internet these days that it hardly justifies the vitriol.
I certainly agree with you. I just posted a few days ago saying I would never trust this company.

In fact, I would never trust a company that didn't explicitly state that the company having a central server facilitating operations (Signal, et all) is a huge risk.
Good point. I didn't consider that.
Here are just a few examples of obviously unethical behavior by Facebook:

* Their own internal research shows that Instagram harms 1 in 3 users who are teenaged girls
* Lying to companies that paid to advertise on FB about the reach of their ads
* Letting advertisers discriminate based on FB users' race and disability status
* Letting Russian accounts pay for election ads in 2016 IN RUBLES

Members of congress should not own or trade stock, full stop.

I am so surprised that this is even legal, it gives an extremely unfair advantage to congress as they have inside info on military contracts, lawsuits and if govt. agencies initiate investigations into companies. You want to end corruption in politics(well make it less corrupt) then barring congress from owning and trading stocks and other related securities is a good start.
Interesting. Just intuitively I bet the cons of smoking outweigh any benefits, but now I'm curious as to the outcome of the nicotine trial. Thanks for sharing the smoking-COVID rumor, I'd never heard that one before.
What is the point of a modular IO if I cannot get an ethernet port? Or today only the old school people like me prefer to use a wired LAN connection whenever possible and hate using Wi-Fi that is unreliable and slower?

I don't understand that choice, but to make the laptop thin, no, a Thinkpad T14 is thin (maybe not as a Macbook, but who cares about a couple of millimeters) and integrates a full size ethernet connector.

What is the point of modular IO if the IO that you are giving me is just USB, HDMI and a micro (not even full size) SD card reader?

I would expect to have a whole range of possible ports, for example I use a lot RS232 ports, I would have liked to find a module to add a serial port to my laptop.

Both have their exciting aspects. Both my boss and I got tired of living in Chicago highrises, even though it has a lot to offer, and my boss is living it up on an island with 10 acres of land and shoreline and wouldn't have it any other way. Me on the other hand, I moved to somewhere that's still closer to a city (so I can still enjoy all the things a city resident can) while having the luxury of a huge house with a private office, big back yard, and a garage full of toys for me to tinker with.

I love the idea of the Framework and for my next laptop I will definitely check it out.

One topic, though, that I just cannot let stand without comment is the notion that Thinkpads are bad now. I have a Thinkpad X1 Extreme (gen2) and - apart from the stupid name - it is hands down the best Linux Laptop I ever had.

There simply is no "...secretive Nvidia graphics cards, strange BIOS rubbish...".
At least with Fedora it just works (including rendering offload to the NVidia card if you want that.)
This is unlikely to work because of the timing delay. Suppose a member of Congress has access to inside information and trades on it. They have 45 days to disclose the trade. By the time the trade is disclosed, the market has already moved: if Pelosi or McConnell or whoever bought low so they could sell high, a month later the increase is probably already baked in.
> ... only countries I expect cloud providers to not deal with

It is not about Google "not dealing with Russia". It's about Russia threatening to ban Google, if it allows certain apps, certain free speech, to be downloaded from its app-store.
At some point we need to stop inventing VMs. VMs like Java, .Net, etc, are already good enough. What is the point of yet another VM? The same people who designed web assembly could have taken java bytecode and added new APIs on top. Instead, they invented yet another machine encoding that has to be targeted, except this time we get to re-invent all the tooling.

Look... I hate the Java language with a burning passion, but the Java VM core technology is perfectly acceptable. So is .Net. There is no reason for webassembly, other than that mozilla wanted to invent something.

Want to add to the testimonials of people that this absolutely didn't work for. For me this was just an excuse to open another pack of Juul pods, "oh this time I'll wait longer between puffs, I'll be puffing less and less this time until I'm not addicted". I would open pod after pod, pack after pack, every time thinking this exact thought. The only thing that worked for me is switching off juuls to some other brand where I could mix my own liquid and titrate down.

I would also be very interested in the percentage of people for whom deferring a cigarette for five minutes is easy. Maybe if you were waiting five minutes for a smoke buddy.

The first pass, reading the whole disk, takes a long time (often hours for HDDs), so you'll have to deal with a lot of modifications.

As long as the system was only under normal near-idle load, there will be some modifications, but not too many, so you'll be able to catch up much more quickly, leaving the window for new modifications even smaller.

Of course, if the disk is continuously receiving a high write volume, the race might never end. But if it's idle long enough for you to do a sync and a final collection pass before the next write, you'll have a full image.

In fairness, you can disable the admin service if you want, then it just makes Django a big fat bloaty library.

But more to the point, I feel like DRF is kind and of a weird solution anyway, like the request object is different from Django, it doesn't support schema generation without some third party libraries...

Frankly, FastAPI with an orm sounds like the ultimate python microservice framework, anyway. Pgcli works as an admin interface in a pinch.
