> Putnam’s study, which used a large, nationally representative sample of nearly 30,000 Americans, found that people living in more diverse areas reported lower levels of trust in their neighbors. They also reported less interest in voting, volunteering, and giving to charity. In other words, greater diversity seemed to be linked to both feelings and behaviors that threaten a sense of community. The finding was alarming to many people, including Putnam himself, because the U.S. continues to grow in racial and ethnic diversity with each passing decade.

The authors hand wave his data by saying white people are to blame.

> In other words, greater distrust may stem from prejudice rather than from diversity per se. Therefore, Putnam’s conclusion that racial diversity leads to less altruism and cooperation amongst neighbors was incorrect. If there is a downside to diversity, it has less to do with the behavior of racial minorities and more to do with how Whites feel when living amongst non-Whites.

They attempt to decouple diversity and prejudice, but that is completely illogical. Their logic is if you asked a minority if they feel more comfortable with a jury that is made of people who are not of a similar culture and racial background as them they would, but white people wouldn’t. That is ridiculous.

On £55k you can afford to borrow £247.5k.

£247.5k + 10% deposit and you are looking at £272k properties.

Check sold house prices in London and you’ll find plenty under £272k.

Hahaha, this is great.
Imagine you have this idea, you execute on it and you come up with a clever name. Only some of your audience has never heard of the word didact and thinks it's a pun on addict. From codeine addict I guess? In reality it's quite a fitting name, it means to learn together.
Not sure what you mean exactly.

If you mean large proportional to the page in the example, it's because I resized the "certificate" so that a huge image isn't loaded. I didn't scale the QR code down so that the image doesn't have to be zoomed in for the QR code to be scannable.
I was always iffy about LASIK and got it done to appease my wife & I can tell you it was way simpler than I was imagining.

It seems to be a trend in electric vehicles. I just bought an electric scooter which came with literature warning that my warranty would be voided if I so much as undid a single bolt. It's rather jarring, coming from the world of cycling, where stripping your vehicle down to atoms and reassembling it is considered normal maintenance.

Incidentally, the same literature claimed my warranty would also be voided if I failed to maintain the scooter properly. I'm not sure where to go from there...

The article didn't talk about specifics, so I wonder who developed these algorithms.

Did they hire experts in modeling markets (i.e. economists
and finance/quants) to develop their financial models and algorithms, or did they just use some developers that like to fool around with ML libraries in their spare time and/or data science undergrads?

Now from a consumer pov, I'm glad this failed. It sucks for home affordability to have that kind of cash buying up the home supply.
I'm in this boat. I think it would be impossible to do with a proper family with kids, so I've got maybe 5 years to pull it off. I've spent several years working on game efforts in parallel and decided to dump them all. It's not the worst thing in the world to give up on a concept. It's a good hobby even if it doesn't pan out.

It's decidedly not a side hustle.

Having owned a 1970 F-100, I think you may be overestimating the crash protection they had in the first instance. This takes it from approximately terrible to . . . also terrible.
That's fair. I was thinking of the people who would buy a crate motor -- even a basic GM LS3 runs almost $8000. People who do swaps by finding a used LS1/2/3 in a junkyard are not spending anywhere near that. On average they're probably doing the more interesting swaps, too.
Can they? I have seen politicians cut budgets whenever they smelled blood in the water, even when the idea was completely harebrained^1 . Just the offer existing may interfere with a proper building funded through public means.

^1 For some time German universities had to require higher fees from students, officially to provide an improved learning experience. Seeing that universities now had an alternative income source some states cut public funding, they didn't care about the specifics, the courts did, some universities ended up not heating their buildings during winter because they couldn't legally touch the money.

How to share Confluence page
If there's one thing I remember from my own childhood, and know from my various nieces and nephews - children can't be expected to tell the whole truth, or sometimes even remember the whole truth.

One bad test, one missed homework, turns into a spiral of shame that makes children hide the truth out of a fear for their parent's and other trusted adults' disappointment (real or imagined). If my parents knew the truth - when I know the truth - we can fix it before it spirals into an unfixable situation, and not after.

Not all children are perfect, nor perfectly able to remember every event and assignment they have.
Just a side note / counter note:

>"While I have a lot of respect for the creators of TS,"

Creators of TypeScript are Microsoft.

To any readers unfamiliar with TypeScript and Microsoft's ethics,

be sure to research their past corporate ethics to understand whether or not they are trustworthy as a company (or at least those who lead their overarching market strategies.

Here is one example, and to me, it describes where TypeScript is going (imho):

"The strategy's three phases are:

---> Embrace: Development of software substantially compatible with a competing product, or implementing a public standard.

---> Extend: Addition and promotion of features not supported by the competing product or part of the standard, creating interoperability problems for customers who try to use the "simple" standard.

---> Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors that do not or cannot support the new extensions."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...

For this reason, out of sheer convictions in anti-unethical corporate behavior, I steer clear of TypeScript, and I encourage others to do so as well-- especially those who care about corporate ethics.
This is a fantastic trick! By copying the source code (which is legal) but not declaring the dependencies in a package.json or similar, nobody will ever get on your case for CVEs in dependencies, and you can save so much time and churn by not updating them.

Upside Foods unveils their new cultured meat facility
Having known many people who do this kind of a thing as a hobby and semi-professionally I highly doubt there will be much interest from the traditional hot rodding crowd. It’s the mechanical nature of things that they love, the sound of a well tuned motor, and the smell of fuel.

Maybe things like this will help seed a new generation of hot rodders but I can’t see the traditional crowd turning in wrenches for a soldering iron.
Monopolies hate competition, they’re terrified of better products, and a free open source version is better than their squandered tax program.

Show HN: GPT-3 powered assistant to write effective job descriptions in a blink
>If you want top 1% pay, you gonna have to hunt for top 1% jobs, seems obvious, no?

Of course, but the discussion was about the fact that the tech job market in Europe is poor. You pointing out that the top 1% devs in Europe make really good money doesn't change that since the 99% are left with sub-paar options.

To make it clearer, a better indication would be to look at median opportunities and wages in the tech sectors, and here the wages in the EU are far lower than in the US even when adjusted for the local purchasing power and real estate prices (actually, I think this makes it even worse for Europe, as stuff cost more and real estate is more expensive).

If you remove the 1%ers like FAANGS and other US unicorns pumped with VC money form the EU tech scene, you're not left with much good local grown opportunities, the wages take a massive nose-dive, which is what the majority is earning.

Love Backblaze and it's my go-to backup recommendation, seeing this very late so not sure if you'll see my reply but a few thoughts:

>The current limit is 50 characters. There are reasons we don't let it get super long like 2,000 characters but we could easily double or triple the maximum length it if it was requested. Is there a number of characters you have in mind? I found a chart here: https://i.imgur.com/trR2u8g.jpg that says a randomly generated 17 character password would take 93 trillion years to crack.

Usually the reason people want longer "password" options is because they're using a diceware style pass phrase of 4-6 randomly generated words. It's not so much about ultimate security as many people having trouble memorizing decent fully random passwords. Key stretching and multifactor helps further of course. Longest normal English words are something like 21 characters before getting into niche science terms, so very conservatively 160 characters is probably going to fit even an extremely conservative edge case passphrase. That'd be 8x of some of the very longest words (unlikely to be randomly chosen) and match a 128-bit key which is plenty [0].

>* Backblaze also supports 2-factor authentication via SMS or Google Authenticator codes which personally I would highly recommend to customers also.*

I hope you'll consider adding (via Webauthn online or OS or other toolkits to the application) standalone hardware token support (like Yubikeys or Nitrokeys). Those are enormously more secure, convenient, and also have the bonus of eliminating another set of 3rd party dependencies. If you looked at those in the past and skipped them due to lack of device support worth looking again, every major platform should have coverage at this point.

----

0: Also, rather then thinking in terms of "years to crack" which inherently depends on the processor power thrown at it, might be better off considering in terms of combinations (or entropy). A standard symmetric key at this point is 256 bits, which means 2^256 combinations, but with stretching 128 bits is probably a very very safe seed for the password component. So that could be a "password" of [01] 128 characters long. That'd be roughly equivalent to [0-9] 38 characters long, or alphanumeric cased (26*2+10=62) 22 characters long. Current Oxford English dictionary edition I think has around 170000 words. If we figure a diceware program throws out ultra short, ultra long, and ultra weird words for convenience (whole point is something people can remember) so maybe it's cut down to the 70000 most common words >3 characters, that'd take 8. At a more typical 4-6 words, equivalent to maybe a 17 character cased alphanumeric password.
I was worried about this too, but I’ve been alternate day fasting ADF (eat dinner at the normal time, go to bed and don’t eat the entire day, eat normally the following day) for two weeks now (and down nearly 6 lbs so far to 215lbs), and it hasn’t actually been a problem. I get a bit hungry by the end of the day, and sometimes I’ll have a protein shake to tide me over.

But mostly I’m just looking forward to my meals the next day. And by the next morning I’ve started to become indifferent to food. I’ll have breakfast, but I don’t feel deprived, food seeking or anything.

Also studies on ADF actually allow participants to eat 25% of their daily calories (or up to 500 Cal) and still be on diet. I’ve taken advantage of this once and had a single McD cheeseburger for dinner. So it was nice having the option as backup if I got really hungry.

Room is a non-issue.

Having a ready-made, mountable, right-sized battery pack(s) for retrofitting is an issue, and may be a lucrative niche.
There already exists better power tools for power users, that are easy to use and easy to customize, yet still more powerful than Emacs. It's a common misconception that if it's arbitrarily hard to understand, it must be something for power users. Bad design is not a feature.
Agreed, probably what kids find attractive varies from kid to kid.

I'm not saying it's negative. I usually bond with my daughter over things we watch together. It can be sometimes hard to unglue her from the screen, but I have some tactics that sometimes work (we don't watch TV or screens over dinner, so if she's hungry she has to turn it off. I can also convince her to turn it off if I go play with her, something that I also enjoy!).
Is there no way they can do this while you're unconscious?

My problem with LASIK is the rare issues. It looks like it works fantastically when it works, but it seems to also cause fantastic problems when something goes wrong. Given my high negative prescription I just can't bring myself to do it.
The parents using this system have also been kids. Not having kids means that you have not had to deal with the frustration of trying to figure out what is going on with your kids at school. Knowledge is a very important part of making decisions for your kids and the more knowledge you have as a parent the better. No one is suggesting that the parent have intimate details of everything going on with their kids but the reaction to a simple app that allows the parent to know what homework is due and if there is a test is a little dramatic. Everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything, no one is saying they aren't but to ignore that parents and non parents may have different insight on something like this is disingenuous.
That assertion rests on the assumption that the Chinese government is like a mafia family. That premise requires evidence. As I mentioned in another reply to you, I disagree with this premise and I gave my reasons why.

I even question the assertion that no one is allowed to gather data about the government's conduct or performance. The research "Sources of Authoritarian Responsiveness: A Field Experiment in China" [1] did exactly this.

The key quote for me was,

"So if we compare it to the standard index, the similarity that we see is that the United States, overall, total corruption is much lower than in China, and that’s totally expected. But what the U.C.I. is able to add is that it unbundles this total score into four categories, and by doing so, we can see more nuance and we can see that first of all, in both countries, the United States is much lower on petty theft, grand theft and speed money than in China. But they have roughly the same amount of access money."

"So in China, it might be a bribe; in the U.S., it might more likely be lobbying or influence-peddling of some sort"
do they think people are that foregetful? 2024 will be a left massacre.
That assumes an environment that your parents will be actively involved and understand how to use the non functional swedish site.
Agreed. A typical EV has thousands of cells and the way these are placed in the chassis and how the interconnects are done is a major safety aspect. You can't just toss a bunch of cells into an enclosure and call it a day, I suspect that for each and every car model you'd want to design a custom enclosure if you want do do this safely.

I'm in the process of increasing the capacity of the battery of my e-bike more than fourfold and even that is not a simple job.
IMO using Observables instead of Promises for most API-type HTTP calls causes more harm than good. i.e. if you pipe the observable into an async pipe in more than one place, it does more than one HTTP call. I find in Angular code having my services that do HTTP calls return Promises via .toPromise() is much cleaner, and enables async/await and try/catch. Also with Observables, you have to remember to unsubscribe if you manually subscribe to the call, implement OnDestroy, etc. No need to worry about that with Promises.

Observables are great for other things though, like debouncing input, timers, @Outputs, etc. where there might be more than one result produced. They're awkward compared to Promises for single-result futures.

My experience in ex-Soviet bloc countries is the opposite. Unmaintained sidewalks, parked cars blocking safe walking access, unsafe driving behavior/routing near pedestrians.

There's no chance you're going to convince me that throwing out regexes in favour of writing EVERYTHING procedurally is a good idea. I fully agree that they should often be built programatically to improve readability and reduce duplication. But capture groups, lookahead operators, kleene stars - these are a drag to do manually, not to mention you lose regex compiler optimisations - regex is the way.
Shouldn't it be 'crate e-motor' rather than 'e-crate motor'?
Hi, thank you for letting me know. It looks like the lazy-load videos are not performing well on Firefox, I'll take a look at this ASAP. Thanks again!
Raising taxes, primarily. Or at least force donations to public institutions to be no-strings-attached. Many years ago when I attended UCSB and this project was in its infancy, someone told me that UCLA has a long-term development plan where large donors can choose from a menu of pre-planned projects. Not sure how true that it, but much better idea.

But my more extreme view is that individuals should not be able to amass so many resources to begin with. It's absurd.
Make sure you understand the clinical outcomes and potential side-effects.

When a cornea flap is cut, you are cutting a lot of innervation to the cornea surface, this for many people means fairly persistent dry-eyes. In addition the scaring of the cornea in the incision flap rim, can also create visual artefacts like Halos, more visible during nightime as your pupil expands and may catch some of the visual distortion of the scar tissue.

I am describing from experience so your mileage may vary. At the end of the day I would probably still go ahead with the surgery but I genuinely feel that it was not thoroughly explained to me, ahead of the surgery, what all the potential side-effects could be.
