Is that a problem of public transport in general or just of the public transport available to you? In most European cities e.g. buses have separate lanes and go every 10 minutes bringing you often faster to your destination than a private car can, not even counting the cost and time burden of finding parking, maintaining your car, insurance, ...

It all depends on your local context, but where I live there is great and cheap transport and if I have a need for a car I can get one from stations across the city for 2-5€/hour + 1-3c/km, significantly cheaper than even a fully paid off car would be for the same trip, if you count insurance, maintenance, and petrol.
I live in Vietnam where effectively nobody has a car. We also have a monsoon rainy season for six months a year that dwarfs any rain anywhere in America gets.

Somehow people are still able to have families and get kids to school.
I think this is true, but it really comes down to: how much do you and your spouse like each other?

If you both like each other, you'll want to give, and the relationship is probably going to feel mutually fulfilling. If it's not mutual, you won't want to give, even if you force yourself, and you'll resent doing things for them.

Honestly I think all these reframings are a way of avoiding the basic fact that the main source of satisfaction in a relationship is just: how much you're romantically into the other person, and how much they return that. Throw trust in too, since that's sort of separate, but that's the meat and potatoes of the dish. Romance is romance, vast majority of relationship dissatisfaction I see comes from a lack of desire from one person.
"So, naturally, if the psychoactive effects are the same, the taste will be perceived as the same."

I have no idea about the rest of your statement, but of all the substances I know, taste and psychoactive effect are not at all the same. They maybe influence each other, yes, but the sensoric taste is a different input than the internal effects of the stimulant.

So given that all states are based on coercive violence, how does that lead you to act?
I'm assuming the FBI and various other law enforcement agencies would have kept pushing for access anyways, most likely by escalating to legal or legislative means ("let's ban encryption" type thing).

Despite what one may think of the police, they do have a legal basis for attempting to collect possible evidence in the natural course of their duties when equipped with an appropriate warrant. In such cases Apple might have been exposed to any number of different legal problems, including obstruction of justice accusations.

So it was probably just easier for Apple to comply. But who knows what the thinking was.
> I can't imagine having multiple children and living with no car.

That is because everything in U.S. American life is centered around having a car and not having a car is fighting against that setup. There are perfectly viable alternatives for living without a car but there's been a strong social trend away from these for a very long time.

It will require new modes of living and some re-organization of our cities to get back to a point where not-having a car becomes an attractive default mode again.
Abstracting away your concept, any number could be too high even 4%.

Assuming a build up method of risk, which is a practical/theoretical way you can categorize returns across asset classes, you start with the "risk free rate" which often could be the US short term borrowing rate. Currently it's pegged artificially at 0.25%.

From there you add risk. So a municipal bond backing a school would earn a 2% "spread" or risk premium for a 2.25% return, and your "Uber but for XYZ" would be significantly higher.

Rather than picking arbitrary cutoffs it's helpful to think about returns in terms of where they sit relative to GDP growth. From 1750 to 2010 the equity and certain real markets track GDP growth (not in any particular year but in inflation adjusted terms). Which makes sense conceptually since asset markets should be a exchange rate adjusted money supply expression of GDP growth conceptually.

Why does this matter? Germany, for example, has negative rates. Rules of thumb absolutely break as you tangentially approach 0% base rates.

Chomsky, again, finds what ever facts he can to fit his theories, and disregards everything else. He's a proponent of the sort of effete liberalism of the 80's and 90's, which says "well, if you're not perfect, then you're not allowed to say anything about other's actions"; a liberalism that's very comfortable, very twee, and quite content to do nothing, having shown how very very clever it is, and how very very little anything other than being clever matters.

Unfortunately, we do not live in Mr. Chomsky's world, where genocide can be waved aside as "internal repression" and immediately dismissed with a coy reference the US allowing misbehavior in Israel, as if it was a 51st state. Sadly, we cannot take a bare statement of the ridiculousness of US military power, and uncritically assume that there's no deep value the world gets from US hegemony, crumbling though it may be.

The whole article boils down to "The US has done things I think are bad, therefore it shouldn't do anything because it has no moral leg to stand on." That might work for wowing undergraduates; it does not make for good international policy.
I mean, I'm not sure that you can do that with OpenSSH though (short of recompiling it, which I do not recommend unless you're a company).

All of this assumes there would be no tax on the yield. The big benefit of owning a house is that the coupon (living in the house) isn't taxed anywhere in the civilised world. Whereas interest payments are usually taxed at least as capital gains if not income.

As a knowledge worker, I know for a fact that the market rates for my work have everything to do with the calculated need the company that hired me for has, and any intellectual property that may get produced by that work is only captured as a matter of course, because despite commanding a decent amount of negotiating power even for technical fields, it is very difficult to negotiate a contract that assigns a license rather than full ownership of IP to the company just due to most people not reading contracts and it being "standard practice" by now. If someone told you that they've factored the speculative value of potential future IP into your rate somehow, they're bullshitting you
I think there's a logical explanation for why being born at a particular time of year might have an effect on how your personality develops, and that's that the time of year you're born determines where you are placed within your cohort at school. Only just old enough for this year's intake? You're more likely to be shorter and weaker than everyone else on the sports team. Almost too old, but just squeaked in? You have both a physical and mental advantage over everyone else.

While 'horoscopes' might not have any basis in reality, it's not unimaginable to me that groups of personalities might arise who all share a particular birth month.
It's my translation from the first German edition of "Origins of Totalitarianism". It's on page 683.

> Wir kennen keinen vollkommenen totalitären Herrschaftsapparat, denn er würde die Beherrschung der gesamten Erde vorraussetzen. Wir wissen aber genug von den immer noch vorläufigen Experimenten totaler Organisation, um zu erkennen, daß die durchaus mögliche Vervollkommnung dieses Apparats menschliches Handeln in dem uns bekannten Sinne abschaffen würde. Handeln würde sich als überflüssig erweisen im Zusammenleben der Menschen, wenn alle Menschen zu einem Menschen, alle Individuen zu Exemplaren der Gattung, alles Tun zu Beschleunigungsgriffen in der gesetzmäßigen Bewegungsapparatur der Geschichte oder der Natur und alle Taten zu Vollstreckungen der Todesurteile geworden sind, die Geschichte und Natur ohnehin verhängt haben.

Some countries do tax imputed rent, such as Belgium, Iceland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland.

You're right. The point I had intended to make was more like setting a price on the garage sale items and simply saying "no" to lowball offers; getting market value doesn't have to require giving up anything.
Same here. Great user experience and developer experience too (compaire their bot api to other platforms).
We have school and kindergarten by walk. The work is doable by walk if you have tons of time, but normally we use public transport.

These things are doable in cities, the city however have to be build to allow it.
Hey I was a developer on Ace of Spades when it was taken over by Jagex. Fun fact: it was written in python, which meant the hackers had an easy time reversing the net code, meaning cheating basically ruined the game.

The game did have some fun aspects to it, especially the zombie mode (every game needed a zombie mode for some reason). Bad management and bad technical choices destroyed the game. For example a mobile version was developed, no idea why anyone would think that would work...

AdonisJS – A fully featured web framework for Node.js
Hello everyone

I am Andy from England. Working with a dev shop where we have been using https://adonisjs.com for a couple of years, I would like to share it with you.

AdonisJS (as the website says) is a fully-featured Web framework for Node. The fully-featured keyword is important here because that is the focus of the framework.

The framework ships with first-class support for features that 80% of web apps (other than static sites) need. It includes

- First-class support for TypeScript.

- A fully functional HTTP server with everything you expect like a Router, controllers, support for cookies, sessions, middleware, and so on.

- A SQL ORM heavily inspired by Laravel Eloquent and works great. https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/models/introduction

- A type-safe validator. https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/validator/introduction

- Baked in Auth module using Adapter pattern. They have different guards to log in users with sessions or API tokens.

- Social auth package. https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/auth/social

- And literally, there are many packages to simplify everyday tasks like file uploads, password hashing, data encryption, and so on.

If you or your team are trying to get out of the decision fatigue and embrace a batteries-included framework. Then I highly recommend using AdonisJS.

## Resources to get started

- AdonisJS crash course - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSvw887ptKI

- Let's learn AdonisJS - https://jagr.co/series/lets-learn-adonis-5

- A demo polls app - https://polls.adonisjs.dev/ with source code https://github.com/adonisjs-community/polls-app

- Official docs - https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/introduction

## Why am I cheering for it?

As I mentioned, we have been using the framework for a couple of years and love it. However, the framework is not very popular, and hence at times, we have a hard time selling it to our clients.

So, the management decided that we should do our part in supporting the framework. I am also talking to the community members to see if we can do a small remote meetup.

## Meh, I don't like it, or I don't like batteries-included frameworks

That is okay. We all have personal preferences and tastes when it comes to writing code. My only intention is to share it with folks who like batteries-included frameworks and then grow the community around like-minded people :)

The parking problem seems to be the exact opposite in many European cities. New apartment blocks are build without providing the required parking, and people aren't willing to pay for parking when visiting the city center.

Some people really do need a car to get to work, but if they also want to live in the center of a large city, then they are frequently not even given the option of paying for a parking spot. The city of Copenhagen famously sold more parking permits than there are actual parking spaces to people living in the city center.

For when you're just going to a cafe, restaurant, or shopping, I don't get why people can just pay the parking fee, it's often not nearly as expensive as people make it out to be.

> since people in my experience are extremely fussy about their brew

Finns drink the most coffee per capita in the world [1] but that coffee tends to be of a pretty low quality. For some people "good coffee" means it has been roasted so dark that it mostly tastes bitter and burnt. Other people don't really care what the coffee tastes like, as long as it's black (and they put so much milk in it that it mostly tastes of milk) and warm-ish. So it is entirely possible the scientists conducting this experiments aren't the best at judging the actual quality of the coffee.

I respect Chomsky very much, and I have learned a lot from him. But I do wonder to what extent his views are based on a possibly over-optimistic view of the world's potential, and a refusal or inability to accept that the the universe might be fundamentally unjust and that life is not always dignified or sacred. I would like to share his hopeful outlook (hopeful in the sense that he seems to think there ought to be a counterfactual world where everyone behaves decently towards each other and the planet), but it seems to me that it is in the nature of life to want power, and it is in the nature of power to control anything that threatens it, and so conflict, struggle and might making right are intrinsic (but perhaps deplorable) features of the world.

Too many options to choose from can be paralyzing.

Here are somethings that I found helpful.

------------------

Improve one aspect of life at the time. It becomes overwhelming in life if there are too many moving parts.

Asking "right now, what is more important to me?"

Moving abroad? Changing fields and follow what interests you? Starting a relationship?

When I am not sure what I want, I try to pick a plan that gives me the highest amount of flexibility and randomness.

- Pick a big city and be active.

- Become financially independent to increase the flexibility in my life.

Often asking what I am struggling with right now and focusing on fixing an immediate pain is helpful.

If you decide to move abroad, it is easier if you have a useful skill. Right now web development is in demand. Moving should be easier.

Choose the destination depending on what you want from moving abroad. Want learn new perspectives? try a different culture. Want to build a new home? Try different places where you feel like home. For context I immigrated to Finland 8 years ago and now living there permanently.

When it comes to career, by far the most useful thing I found was to choose what interests me. Figure out a way to make a living combining 2-3 unrelated things that interest you.

That's an interesting angle, thanks for sharing.

The book gives an impression that many American submariners were driven by mission whereas the Soviet ones took it as a job. A memorable quote from a Soviet commander (Bagdasaryan) who's submarine has collided with an American sub and was reprimanded, was how he would like to "have a drink and think together how to avoid similar collision in the future" with his American counterpart. Unfortunately, the American commander had passed away by this time.

This has been since what feels like forever. Once a couple of people I worked with found and penetrated one of these "click farms". We saw all the stats, the number where impressive.

I had a private contact within google's SRE team and spilled all the beans, ask where I should dump the information within google. The answer was as blunt as telling: no one would be interested since it would hurt their bottom line.

Tried to inform a couple of Googlies at different cons in the months following: as much as they liked the tricks we pulled to get in, as little did they want to bring the subject up in their teams.

Clicks are Google's Crack.
You have to laugh at the obligatory time-to-market estimates in these lab-grown food articles: "I estimate we are only four years away from ramping up production and having regulatory approval in place."

It would be interesting to see what estimate was provided in the 1974 article referenced in the piece.

Also, Mike Zafirovski (Nortel CEO) asked for financial support from Harper, who refused. Nortel had many problems, but Stephen Harper (prime minister) and his Conservatives killed Nortel and the telecom industry in Canada with this decision. Now the same people will blame China. That was the moment that ended the business.

Agreed, and even more drastically, taxes on cars are an incredibly poor ROI on the massive infrastructure given to roads. Obviously we all benefit from this public good - even non-drivers are getting the benefit from things being moved around on the road network, so it's not cut-and-dried.

But in Australia, we tend to raise money on road taxes that supposedly balances spending on roads - ignoring the humongous investment that giving so much of our space to roads represents (if you give me several billion dollars worth of real estate, I can probably break even too!).

It frustrates me, because spending on public transport is usually treated in a cost/benefit fashion in a very short-term way, but the massive capital investment into roads is just regarded as a given.
In the USA (re-)definition of the word, yes.

That is not true at all. Most countries outside the US have them, especially in "western civilization". Hardly anyone follow the US line these days. Family members just bought two of their newest.
There's a good list in Wikipedia for FFT (though it's a bit more specific than just FT, but still application of it):

- fast large-integer and polynomial multiplication,
- efficient matrix–vector multiplication for Toeplitz,- circulant and other structured matrices,
- filtering algorithms (see overlap–add and overlap–save methods),
- fast algorithms for discrete cosine or sine transforms (e.g. fast DCT used for JPEG and MPEG/MP3 encoding and decoding),
- fast Chebyshev approximation,
- solving difference equations,
- computation of isotopic distributions.[47]
- modulation and demodulation of complex data symbols using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, DSL, and other modern communication systems.

And naturally for any time-based signal about half a gazillion applications due to it's ability to detect "traits" which can be stored/read efficiently due to time => freq transform
