Recently moved to north of Dallas. Many wide roads, very populated area. Rarely see traffic that slows trip time more than 10%. Much better than my experience driving in Seattle and what I've seen in SF/LA.

The speed limit on the freeways and tollways is 70 mph, so distant places that would take over hour to get to in Seattle are 15 min drives here.

3 nm is not the size of these transistors, just like X nm has never been the size of transistors for any value of X, so it's not "misleading and deceptive".
A while ago, I just tried taking any figure I could find for transistors per area, for various processes/chips, ignoring all the nuances, and taking the square root to get the implied linear density, and if I recall correctly, it was pretty consistently 1/10th of the usually quoted figure.

Whatever the ratio was, it seemed to be roughly consistent going back like 30 years, which surprised me.

So now I don't believe there actually has been a drift towards marketing and inaccuracy. And believe the details of what kind of cells is just excessive precision.

No you're paying rent.

The idea that property tax is passed down to renters 1:1 is just something you made up.

Moving it out back to public GH was done by transferring the repo(s) between organizations. The move into GHE moved the organization as a whole to GHE. So it's conceivable that moving organizations as a whole to (or even from) GHE does not send emails. To be clear that's still bad, especially given how the user could only know of this move if they were logged in and looking for one tiny bit of text in the repo homepage, but it's a non-malicious explanation.

This is only the case if you assume that nobody will change their behavior as a result of tax increases. If you're increasing the tax on structures, sure, there's no reason to expect that these costs won't be passed onto renters.

When you tax land however, something different happens: underdeveloped land becomes a bad investment. If the taxes are the same on a single family house and a small apartment building, you're losing out on a sizable amount of money by not building the apartments (and the folks hodling vacant land are really losing out). So essentially the idea is that land taxes encourage landowners to extract as much value as they can from the land (and punish those who don't). In the Bay Area this most likely means building more housing, increasing competition, and driving down rents.

Of course, this is assuming that housing is legal to build in the Bay area, so this is most likely unrealistic
"Effective" rates. It accounts for prop 13, so you aren't getting .7% if you're buying a brand new home.

CA income taxes are incredibly progressive. WA is actually in the same boat as TX in regressive taxation (sales tax), but is a liberal rather than conservative majority state. However, any attempt to institute an income tax is shot down by the voters fairly quickly.

WA at least doesn't have a prop 13.

I don't think Palo Alto is a great comparison; it's a mixed new/old-money city where a lot of rich people live (with the ultra-rich next door in Menlo Park and Atherton). Compare Austin to something like Fremont, San Jose, or perhaps San Mateo. Sure, those will still be more expensive than Austin, but that $1.7M number is pretty realistic for a nice house in those other cities.
There is Kasisto which uses Monero (XMR).

They don’t need to decide what is truth, they just need to decide what ideas they’ll pay people to spread. Probably something they should have thought about years ago, but better late than never.
Thanks for sharing. It comes across as a stretch to focus on 'nonviolent causes of death', when the first three causes of deaths in 2019 10-24 age group (page 11) dominate the charts with cumulative 73%, and the first 'nonviolent cause of death' is cancer, coming in a distant fourth at 5.4% of total deaths.
I simply don’t believe SFChronicle here. I live in Texas and I see plenty of California plates on the road. The realtor I work with says Californians are flooding the market with cash. They’re offering 10’s of thousands of dollars over asking price and winning out over local offers.

This is working as intended. This is how everything should be.
I think the trouble is that the time scale you've assumed for molecular reactions is off; atoms move and react much faster than you may expect. (In air at room temperature, an individual molecule will undergo billions(?) of collisions per second.) The atoms and molecules in this video are moving on the order of 200 m/s, and the image is only about 5 nm wide. To see atoms slowly forming together, you need to watch on the scale of picoseconds at a time, not the 20 ms - 40 ms per frame in this video.

A molecular dynamics simulation might give a better impression of the time scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK29kxMSqH8&t=2m45s. (I'm not sure what volume is being simulated there. It's much larger than what's seen in the submission, which is about 18 water molecules wide if we assume water molecule size of 0.27 nm.) Note the time scale on the left. The whole simulation is 250 ps, so you have to watch it about 100 million times to match a single frame in the submission's video.
Property tax values or property taxes? If Austin is like other cities, then if houses all rise the same amount of value, then the property taxes assessed remain the same (the percentage goes down). Any increase in spending (and therefore raise in revenue from property taxes) would have to be done explicitly (they don't just get a windfall from rising property values).

> Uhh, this is private property, the result of individual households setting aside a portion of their own wages to save for the future.

Yes - and that was a terrible decision. Australia could have put super contributions into a collective pool, and used the money to increase equality and fund above-poverty-line universal pensions, but it didn't. Instead they put it in individually owned accounts - inequality and poverty is much higher in Australia as a consequence. Elderly women are the most impoverished demographic in the country.

> What you want is a defined benefit federal savings program (like social security), but that needs to be funded by taxing incomes, not by seizing existing private retirement savings.

No, what you want is a collective fund like Norway's - you are talking like this doesn't exist. It would be very straightforward to tax super balances (particularly large ones) and move money into a collective pool.

> Some nations have that and others don't, but it's not a sovereign wealth fund. Please don't confuse the two issues being discussed.

Norway's SWF is literally a pension fund, and explicitly has the goal of creating equally shared wealth.

> SWFs, OTOH, are created when a nation gets some unexpected windfall that is short lived, and it wants to smooth the life of that windfall into the future.

No, that is one reason SWFs are created, but there are many - Australia's own SWF for instance was not created for this reason.

> But in Australia, the extraction of coal and iron results in a much smaller surplus spread over a much larger population, and so Australia's mineral wealth, while large in absolute terms, does not support the same level of surplus income per person as Norway's oil wealth

If we lack the surplus income of Norway, how have we managed to create a pool of wealth 3x as big from surplus incomes, in spite of wasting much more of it on fees each year?

> Australia is very much dependent on all the jobs that mining creates, but that is not surplus income, it is income that has to be earned with labor.

This is incoherent - both oil and mining resources require labor to extract. There's nothing special about oil or resources compared to any other type of capital - you can make a fund out of any type of capital.
The article isn't really antipatterns, more just some advice on how you might want to get started. Different people like to approach things in different ways, and tend to do things however they want anyways. I'd just suggest not to give up on Vim too early, and maybe look for an easier introduction if necessary. If you are using another editor/ide, just use vim mode in that ( most have it ).

Your talking about bridging currency. Something that most banks still cant do easily with any customer they have. ie. HSBC, a global bank, doesnt even support instant transfers around the world (payid), yet thats there buisness for how many years?

ie. with crypto, u can setup a wallet, u can buy currency, then lend it out to a DeX for fees and apy in 3 clicks, no wait period, minimal capital expenditure. no forms to sign.

that kid at macdonalds right now can DCA into crypto using his gaming PC at night time. if u had been doing that the last 10 years, u would be retired by now. get it? the younger generation, crypto is a investment opportunity like our parents generation saw real-estate.

times have changed. the govs had there time to ban crypto, they havnt. its less volatile and more secure and more open then any 3rd world country currency. the investment bankers are in it. its not going anywhere. the masses (20-30s) have who are stacking crypto are going to be the voter bloc of the next 20 years.

Luckily when it’s done by the government, that’s actually unconstitutional and you have a recourse. When it’s done by a private company, you have none.
There's some available literature on the subject of required laser wavelength/energy for an in-flight thermal mosquito kill: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-71824-y.pdf

For a thermal kill you have to deliver some number of Joules of energy into the target. You can use a lower powered laser over a longer period of time, up to a point. You have roughly 25 milliseconds of thermal confinement time before the mosquito starts to cool off. Longer exposures can work, but the total energy dose needed goes up. Longer exposures also require keeping the laser aimed at the target for a longer time.

Power needed also depends on how closely you can track the target. If you make the spot small enough that the target catches all of it then you minimize power requirements, but that increases the complexity of the optics. If you use a spot size larger than the target then the optical and tracking complexity go down, but you're no longer sending all of your Joules into the target.
Would a random sample be representative? Statistically this seems to be the case for any large N. In fact it's not clear to me that any other sample would be more representative.
Many projects joined the .NET Foundation after it was created. It didn't really do anything for them (I think they basically sponsor meetups), but it wasn't harming anyone either.

The .NET Foundation asked for owner access on the author's repository (for a CLA bot). The author declined and a workaround was organized.

Years later the .NET Foundation asked for "owner access" on the author's repository (to allow them enforce Code of Conduct across all repositories). The author declined.

The CLA bot stopped working. The author was told it would work if he gave it owner access. The author was annoyed because they previously had a workaround. They gave in and gave @dnfadmin owner access (temporarily, it was later revoked after the CLA bot was set up, thanks /u/ethbr0 for the correction).

Some time later the author realized that the project had now been silently moved to GitHub Enterprise (likely in the short window @dnfadmin had owner access). The author states that projects in GitHub Enterprise can be entirely controlled by the owner of the account (the .NET Foundation). This transfer happened silently.

Independently, this happened to another project (who had coincidentally had an issue with a Microsoft employee and former contributor force a pull-request into their project: https://github.com/reactiveui/splat/pull/778). The change itself seems innocuous, but the approach bothered people.

People are upset because of how tone-deaf all of this is. They would like the .NET Foundation to stop trying to gain complete control over the member projects. They would especially like for their projects not to have their ownership changed silently.

Edit: For the record, I do not believe this is part of some embrace, extend, extinguish plan on behalf of Microsoft. I think these accusations actually cheapen what has happened here. I suspect this was more of a "can we make this process easier and more convenient for the .NET Foundation"-type thing.

The people involved with this will have to do some soul searching. The .NET Foundation should operate in service of its member projects, not the other way around.
Fabs have been increasing transistor performance without shrinking the size much; for example, a 22 nm FinFET has similar performance to a 14 nm planar FET so feature sizes don't tell you as much as they used to. This led fabs to invent "effective" feature sizes to convey improvements in the process.

> It doesn't cause game consoles to not exist, they would just work differently. You would pay the actual cost for the hardware and less for games.

That’s simply not an option for a lot of people. $800 for a console is just beyond many people’s reach. The economics of consoles work for several reasons. One is the person buying the console often isn’t the person buying the games. An uncle might get the console for a kid and a parent might mainly buy the games, or several adults might buy games for them. This efficiently distributes the cost over people and over time.

Yours is typical wealthy person thinking, but people on more modest incomes find it hard to make up front capital purchases. They may not be able to plan their finances long term if they have highly variable income. Pushing more of the cost into the games means they can easily scale their spending to match their current circumstances. Up front costs or even regular monthly payments on a financed purchase don’t let them do that. The net result would be a crash in console sales that benefits nobody.

>2G, 3G, 4G used to mean something, not anymore.

Did they really, though?

2G was accurately labeled (in my experience), sure, but I remember when Verizon started relabeling their HSPA+ (3G) stuff as 4G in my hometown. Not even "4G LTE" (which allowed them to get away with it since it's not actually 4G), they just straight up called it 4G on my Motorola Droid Turbo. When I rooted it, I found out exactly what it was connected with and learned it was all a lie. (When I actually did experience real 4G, the speed difference was shocking.)

AT&T relabeled their 4G network as 5G fairly early on. [0] Then, Verizon decided to copy them. [1] But this wasn't a trend that started with 5G.

I don't know about other wms, but in i3, floating a window is just a matter of pressing super+space. Moving it around and resizing is very ergonomic as well, it's just super+left click drag and right click drag respectively. The really nice thing about the resizing is that you don't have to hit a tiny window border target with your mouse, super+right click just snaps to the nearest border of the window you're in.

My guess is that most other tiling wms would have a straightforward way to float windows as well.
