The reviewed author does not advocate for imprisonment. He advocates for treatment and housing programs that require the addicts to follow the program and make progress. A "carrot and stick" approach, which has worked in other countries.
Yes and (non backed) currency experiences slow but exponential decline in value, even if you augment it with the short rate (tbills in the US), always going to 0. It's still used to settle transactions. All checks out.
That report compares the total lifetime emissions of a Tesla with an ICE, as far as I can tell. Also, I don't see any discussion of the cost of mining, smelting, etc the chassis and engine parts, it seems that those are acquired and not included in the production costs. Furthermore, it assumes that the car is locally built, it doesn't seem to include the cost of transporting the car and/or parts long distance. Finally, the 24.8MPG number they cite is pretty large consumption compared to the usual fuel economy of cars I've seen around me at least: it's basically 10 l/100 km, where the cars people around me own are at ~4-6 l / 100 km in real driving (maybe a difference between EU and US?).

Regardless, the discussion wasn't about replacing an ICE car with an electric, it was about replacing an old ICE car with a newer ICE one.

I will also note that personally I have a a very low level of trust for any statements put out by Musk's companies - they have a clear history of greatly exaggerating various good news.

I was about to mention Sonobus. Fun fact: under the hood it uses a fork of my AOO library (https://git.iem.at/cm/aoo/-/tree/develop). AOO is still alpha but I'm hoping to release a stable version till end of the year.
Is this related somehow to China refusing to take USA's recycling material?

IIRC shipping recycled material was super cheap. So many empty containers. Might as well fill them with something.

Why aren't empty containers shipped back to China? Boat has to go back anyway, right?

Did the empty containers pile up because no one was willing to pay to ship them
back?
Our container price went from $1,500 to $10,000.
From the outside, this paints google as a bunch of engineers moving around, dropping projects, trying to get promoted.

I’d say so, unless you have a particular reason to learn them. I haven’t written a class component in well over 2 years.
People have different preferences, but moreover people have different needs. Configuration shouldn't be thought of as optional. If, as the parent comment says, settings are design failures, they arise from the fact that it's not possible to design software that works for everyone. To fix this problem you wouldn't have to design better software, you'd have to design a better human!

Just to state the obvious examples, i18n is exposed through configuration, accessibility features are configurations. These aren't optional parts of a program that can simply be designed around.

To be clear, I agree with you that human preferences are valid as such, just clarifying that your parent comment is profoundly wrong even if you think that all people ought to have the same preferences.
Thank you, is there a link where I could cite that information?
What’s extensions do you have installed? VS 2019 significantly fixed performance issues, and I work with both C++ and C# projects much bigger than a few hundred lines of code. Debugging UWP and ASP.NET Core is a lot slower than debugging regular old WPF or SWF but that’s because of all the bloat during the deployment step.

If you have VisualAssist or Resharper installed, disable them and see the difference.

Way to generalize. Maybe it's true if you're Meg Whitman, but it's obviously not true for people like Steve Jobs.
> Actually you can do that with a DevKit, yes.

I mean, with sideloading on an Xbox technically sure, you can do anything. But to be clear, your average developers are not doing development on Xboxes directly, they're using Unity/Unreal and treating their Xbox as a compile target. And certainly they're not doing remote development on XCloud, that would be a wildly inefficient way to write software when instead you could just develop locally on any machine.

> Stackoverflow stats reflect the vocal audience that bothers answering their surveys.

Do you really genuinely think that Stackoverflow's blog is so unrepresentative that it's undercounting significant numbers of developers that are installing Visual Studio on an XBox?

I still just don't understand what conclusion you're trying to draw. Am I just misunderstanding what you're saying, or are you really arguing that these are development platforms that people are commonly using as their daily driver to write software? Because... they're not. There's not a hidden uncounted majority of people who bought Xboxes because they love the experience of hooking them up to their computer peripherals and using them as their software development platform.

His name was actually Brandon. That's not the WH reclaiming anything, that's just his name.

(And yes, I'm aware of the Brandon meme.)
My theory is a combination of (3a) (you have two 3's :) and an additional hypothesis that you didn't mention: people have a pandemic-induced sense of pent up angst and unease with their life, and so they are making life changes in an attempt to find happiness again. Obviously, changing jobs won't relieve the pain the pandemic has caused, but I'd argue there's a subliminal desire to try to change something.

Anecdotally, my personal experience supports (3a), since I tried to find a new job in mid 2020 and found the job market incredibly challenging, but then looked again in mid 2021 and ended up finding a job I was excited about.
The issue is not poverty at all. The issue is addiction. This constant framing of the homeless as dispossessed victims, rather than substance abusers with agency, makes it impossible to solve the issue.
My neighborhood has become a lot more sociable during the Pandemic. One neighbor and her husband volunteered to help another older lady with her fence and they've been hanging out together for hours just talking and working on the fence. Something like that never happened before. I notice I'm a lot more chatty and friendly with people on the street when I'm walking my dog.

If you're in an apartment building, just say hello to people in the common areas and slowly build from there. Going on walks is good. Once you see the same people over and over you can start casual conversation and find things in common.

If you want to come over and help me with my fence, you're always welcome, haha :P

Fuck off plague rat.

Ban me if needed dang.
The second (3) is quite valid as “I’m tired of this sh*t” affected all those close to retirement who didn’t need short term cash flow. Folks with no kids, the kids out of the house and the house paid for.

The first (3j also strikes me as valid as the possibility of f2f interviews was basically zero. Between social distancing and the collapse of border crossing and air travel “sitting tight” was prudent. Remote interviews lead into (4).

Edit: the loss of external child care forced some workers home. It’s possible the positives of at home care shifted the balance vs the expense of external care. And now, perhaps due to the difficulty of securing it.
You're making it sound like the people looking at this are idiots. Of course this is tracked across age groups. Look at the BC data where it's broken down by age.

Also are you suggesting that the relative portion of the population in certain age groups has changed dramatically? Because otherwise you can still look at the aggregate as indicators.

Sorry if I'm misusing the work indisputable. English is not my mother tongue. Looking at the dictionary I also don't think it means what you think it means. Someone can dispute anything. We could say gravity is indisputable but someone can come and say there's no gravity. People say the earth is flat. Possibly in this day and age nothing is indisputable.

From where I stand, given the evidence, the people who say something like "vaccination has no impact on R" are not far from people claiming the earth is flat. I mean maybe the earth is flat. Even the guy who responded to me saying I was wrong then changes his mind on that.
The laws aren't the only factor. They also have to be enforced, which they often aren't in SF.

Well, also threat of losing advertisers, which is their major source of income.
The [recent Econtalk episode with Sam Quinoas]( https://www.econtalk.org/sam-quinones-on-meth-fentanyl-and-t...) really changed my understanding of the homelessness crisis. The efforts to make it harder to make meth has resulted in the process and ingredients of making meth changing. This results in slightly different meth that has much worse effects. Meth junkies become less socially functioning and have stronger drive to isolate themselves in tents. I cannot recommend the episode strongly enough. It's the best explanation I've heard why we are seeing this dramatic change in quantity and behavior of the homeless.
There's not a disinformation campaign about opioids.
Anecdotally, from my experience at London startups, people in leadership positions are _extremely_ coached. One of my biggest frustrations is always being _just_ outside of the circle of importance whereby my employer would actually pay for my career development.
To what end though?

Ownership aside isn’t big tech something of an expert workers council?

If there’s literal logistics value to these systems we’ll build them anyway.

Political labels like cartel help politicians sell us on big ownership.

Let’s do novel things literally and ditch figurative political tradition. No more political tradition, no more big corp.

Obviously it can’t happen over night. We could invoke old politics or let big tech takeover the world and let workers takeover big tech as they forget about politics

Generally it's kicking out foreign workers and banning/discouraging people from expensive things/ideas like international travel, living in cities is 'cool', leaving the house to see friends rather than watching Popcorn Time.

For IT I'd be wanting to hear what the Indian part of HN says.

Generally for the West it's been at the expense of the developing countries.

How is IT in India and other non Western countries doing? They should rule out 4 (Are they being matched better in the USA?) but could confirm 5.
Got any links on such incidents?
1.Inflation. Money is worth less now that we printed so much more. Same reason why you see companies raising a lot at crazy high valuations. Nobody wants to keep cash because at some point the price of everything will catch up. Stock, house, crypto going up can be explained as that. 40% of dollars have been printed in the last 12 months. People trust businesses, houses and even crazy cryptocurrency with no real basis more than their government not printing infinite money.

2. People had a taste of remote work freedom. That's an extra bargaining cheap when negotiating.

People mental health went to the bin after being locked up for so long and they either:
- had enough of their company
- had enough of their job at all

Hopefully it will translate to more small business entrepreneurship. We definitely need those given that the pandemic favoured incredibly big businesses (unsurprisingly)
This is a fascinating tweet on many levels.

1) I think it's safe to assume that Joe Biden has no SEO expertise, which means that someone with the power to send the President of the United States out for a photo op does. They went out and found someone named Brandon for Biden to pose for a photo op with.

2) To me it's terrifying that Presidential actions are now being dictated by SEO concerns, but it is interesting.

3) I would have expected this kind of thing from Trump, since he was obsessed with his public image. But apparently Biden, or at least someone close to him, is similarly obsessed.

4) Reading between the lines, the fact they responded in this way makes it appear that the administration is becoming concerned with the the growing anti-Biden sentiment that has arisen in the wake of the Afghanistan debacle and issues with cognitive decline that are becoming increasingly harder to hide. That town hall was a disaster [1].

Jefferson was a wealthy and powerful man who abandoned his own children to slavery. What kind of technological context might be relevant? The hindsight concern is valid in some cases but his was far from an "any one of us might be next" kind of failing.

The motivation for even attempting to excuse Jefferson is obviously to protect ideas about government and liberty from being contaminated. But they're at far more risk IMO when instead we say, well his own estate was medieval but xyz, or it's not pertinent, or won't we all be judged wanting, etc

Used fuel weighs more than the raw fuel, it’s just outside your vehicle in the typical use case. As you have shown, a typical assumption made with fuel burning vehicles is that disposing of the effluent is free and you can just throw it overboard.
We are talking about the music video for a rap song, not anybody claiming to give legitimate medical advice. The song is pretty dumb IMO, but I do not like to see tech companies deplatforming art because of "misinformation". Who the hell gets their information from rap music?
Tempo points to Mouser Electronics for "less than minimum order quantities," and they in turn list 980 for $4.43 ea. as the largest quantity without a quote (2500 for $4.29 ea. on a reel instead of a tray, whatever that means), so... probably less than that?

I have no idea how expensive the Realtek chip is or anything else to put that in context, though.

Ha, I remember Warheads! Those were good.

Yeah, I've had one of those happen to me where it was just uncanny if it wasn't listening. I walked into work and my coworker was sitting there working and asked how I was. As I put down my stuff and was taking my lunch out of my backpack I was like, "I'm good, but my backpack zipper just broke!"

When I logged into facebook ~30 minutes later I had ads for backpack zippers. It was downright unsettling and I actually deleted facebook app from my phone over it. I still remember that unnerving feeling in the pit of my stomach when I saw the ad, as I never got any ads like that previously. I definitely was one of those people who thought the "your phone is listening" stuff was paranoia, but that made me at least reconsider if not agree.
I think only recently have we seen companies adopt actual long term remote policies since initially the intent was to come back into the office. Also, I think it’s probably closer to a regional or national market at most. Most companies won’t just let any employee work from anywhere due to tax laws. For example, I can currently live in any state but that state has to have my company incorporated in it(which is about 25 states).
As a long-time .NET Developer, there's no way in hell you're replacing my Visual Studio with Visual Studio Code. I'll sooner switch to Rider (which I have a license for and like to use on a Mac.) VSCode is a text editor on steroids. Visual Studio is an IDE. Full stop.
This article was really focusing on the chronic visible homeless; living on the street, public feces, injection drug use etc.

Many people do become homeless because of higher rents but they are able to take advantage of social safety nets so you don't see them on the streets of SF.
It's pretty obvious that they went out and found someone named Brandon to have a photo op with. This was an SEO play.
Pre-Covid much of my job satisfaction came from the sense of comradery of working on a team. Even as an introvert I enjoy interacting with coworkers, and being intune with the needs of the group and generally helping other people succeed.

When we transitioned to full remote, all of this was stripped away and I was left to focus purely on a product that on its own I was not passionate about (think ad-like product). I was met with a sudden loss in motivation, burnout, and decided to take 9 months off to pursue a tech unrelated hobby.

9 months after leaving, I have accepted a position with a 50% raise over to my previous job.

I think covid was a splash of cold water that's caused many of the people in my circle to re-evaluate how they spend their time. Tech workers are so in demand that we can freely change jobs so it follows that many people would availing that option.
This would drive wages down.

I wrote "there's an app for that" because IMC does have an app for that.[1] Also a web site.[2] Drivers need to be able to talk to the container dispatching system.

That's a side issue, though. As the number of containers in temporary storage increases, system throughput drops. So, once you get into overload, you're stuck there until you somehow reduce traffic or get more capacity. That seems to be the current situation.

It's not just at the US end. Shipify reports about 200 ships stuck waiting to get into Chinese ports.[3] (That article has a good overview of the situation.) At the China end, there's an empty shipping container shortage.

Back in July, US farmers were also complaining about an empty shipping container shortage.[4] Ship lines wanted to load up and get out, because the China->US rate is currently much, much higher than the US->China rate. So loading up containers at the US end apparently cost time and profits. The way empties are handled is driven by a system of economic incentives to not hold onto empties, and apparently that's not working well enough to get containers back to someplace useful. Someone has to pay to ship the containers back.

For what is worth, it's the same problem with normal language. I know Italian and English, "great, I can talk to two kinds of people", except that my Italian is fully distorted by my English now (I talk both languages constantly, but I do live in an English speaking country now).

Anyway knowing many languages has some downsides, but in the end if you write the same one for a couple of months the problem of searching disappear. When you switch another couple of months and it's gone again.

I generally like Microsoft as a development stack, but this kerfuffle is reminding me of issues I've had trying to get the folks working on Graph API to understand why being able to access existing APIs with a different kind of credential than they currently support would be helpful.

If you're not familiar, there's two different ways to authenticate against Graph API - either directly with the user's credentials, which is good for webapps and user-interactive desktop stuff, and using application credentials, which are suited for server-side workers and daemons and things like that. All the Graph APIs have weird hodgepodges of permissions that are allowed, which sometimes make sense (getting the current user's profile at /me) and often don't make any sense at all, and are just not supported because they didn't bother.

If you've got a lot of time on your hands, you can whine and open UserVoice items and rally other people up and lobby, and sometimes they'll get off their asses and do something. Or not, like some of the Teams presence and calling APIs that have been unimplemented for three or four years now...
