This isn't a model. its not a study, its a metric collected from the UK for the last 20 years.

The arguments for "not hiring women because they'll just go and get pregnant" have largely been settled in the UK.

shared parental leave is a thing, its just what happens. Employers that don't facilitate it are punished, either by employment tribunal, or people leaving to join somewhere that does.

Can I ask what you hated about the XM4s?

I have a pair of XM3s and I love them (for what they are) but the form factor of the XM4 looks nicer so was considering an "upgrade".
Audio dropping out because the wireless signal is not strong enough or interference is not something that can be fixed in implementation it is a fundamental limitation of the technology. When it happens it makes wireless headphones useless at their one function playing audio.
Lower incomes is a direct requirement of higher taxes.
I think in isolation, allowing construction of a single apartment building in an other SFH neighborhood might push down nearby property values compared to a suburb without the apartment, particularly in places where apartments are stigmatized as being "too urban"

You are quite correct that upzoning everywhere only boosts the value of land by allowing better utilization of it. One possible exception might be that by solving the housing crisis by building enough units to satisfy the regions need, it might push down the value of land, especially in the less desirable periphery where you might have previously had folks paying a lot of money just to get a house somewhere.

>That kind of speed of development is absolutely possible, especially in richer nations

The richer you are the easier it is to justify pissing away resources inefficiently catering to stakeholders way down the totem pole.

Compare/contrast pretty much any publicly funded endeavor in the US/Canada/rich western Europe vs similar projects elsewhere. Sure the rich places get 10% more but they pay 90% more to do it.
>Because The Poors waste their money?

Either that or they are not using their time well for making money.

>So, The Poors shouldn't care about nutrition?

cheap and nutritious don't have to be mutually exclusive

It means you are living a life you can't afford.
Just go look at a 1980's science fiction movie and you'll see lots of really bad model shoots, dynamics all wrong and so on (even the big ticket ones like James Bond movies got it wrong routinely). But the audience wasn't as spoiled and likely never noticed, I only realized how cringy they were on re-watching with my spoiled 2021 eyes and mindset.
I'm against a device that may or may not record me or take my health stats and report them to a central database every time I get into a vehicle. I don't trust this not to be used as yet another automated surveillance tool for the government. if there is one thing I don't trust the government with, it's visibility at scale.

If we had guts, we would ban bars from selling anyone more than three drinks, and ban bars from serving anyone who has had a drink anywhere else that day. (or something, I'm brainstorming).
WTF. I remember when I was younger and driving maybe not drunk but heavily buzzed was more accepted, glad it's not any more. This is stupid though, I dont want a machine that thinks it knows better than me. Subtitle on the article is accurate, this is nanny state bullshit.

I also hate stuff like this because "Computers don't argue": https://www.atariarchives.org/bcc2/showpage.php?page=133
Computer says you're drunk so tough shit, you cant drive to work. Try again tomorrow.

Edit: people downvoting are supporting an increase police state. We shouldnt make people prove their not committing a crime to do normal stuff. This is like stop and frisk but automotive.
innovation comes from thought diversity. Just a different culture and set of circumstances can certainly bear fruits of positive systematic change. Most important is to vet the concept, not the country.
Your solution is anecdotal but it does sound similar to the process described occurring in people whose depressions are cured by MDMA or psilocybin treatment. A cure induced by a staring into the abyss kind of thing.
The issue is that in the west, and particular in the US, being poor is considered a character flaw. Rudger Bergman goes into a bit of detail on the history of that perception, which he attributes to the opposition against Nixon's UBI (at least in the US).

So what we now have in many western nations is a huge bureaucratic body to prevent fraud on social security systems which at the same time significantly increase hurdles to apply for the programs and what can be done with the help. On the other hand, the bureaucratic support to fight tax evasion especially by the super rich, is typically tiny.
DevSecCon Lightning Talks
I don’t disagree, but that’s the reality of many Americans. Their home is their largest asset by type. This is also why home ownership is one of the largest drivers of wealth.

Maybe it shouldn’t be.
You can evolve to bring happiness to others.
One step toward happiness: dismiss these articles. My default browser page shows these endlessly - how to happy, how to worry less, how to live longer, how to get over this, how to embrace that, ... nine times out of ten highly uninformative, targeting every possible little concern or fear, an incessant bombardment of anxiety media. I immediately dismiss all anxiety media.
Shit, doesn't even have to be an "activity" properly.

Just sitting on the grass/sand/snow (if the weather isn't utter crap) is real pleasant. Even more so if it's after exercising.

It's no wonder people find themselves stressed when they never take any time to actually just chill.
Bicycle gear shifting technology has come a long way since then, with very reliable, even electronic systems. But we're still messing with dirty, grubby chains that need to be maintained properly and are worn out after 5000km at best.
I think that the bicycle drivetrain is quite rife for disruption. Someone has yet to solve the problem of efficiency - a new drivetrain is supposed to have less than 1% power loss. But a new concept could really change the entire industry, and it's quite a big industry.

A static, gas repelling surface finish would be awesome. Perpetual motion, here we come; paint one side of your fan's blades with it.

There's some hints in magneto-hydrodynamics where you can move air with an electromagnetic field, and some really wild theories about what happens with varying forms of modulation applied to that. It tends to need to be in a plasma state for these things to work and that has some minor issues still.
Slightly OT, but I'd like to express my astonishment about a positive article about a new tool making it to the front page. Somehow these days it's always rants about new stuff.

Nice and short read.
I'm just surprised this is coming before verifying license and insurance status before allowing the car to start. Seems like that'd be easier (and equally undesirable).
Is Bitcoin Too Big to Fail?
Meh, prohbiition dont work, we tried it. We cant even keep kids from drinking. Theres already a cultural shift away from as much heavy drinking, a lot more of the young people I know dont drink at all or drink only a bit and are more accepting of people who don't drink.

Also how would you prevent other bars from selling to people without a centralized database.
But the alternative you put is to assume that their failures are due to external forces and their success due to policy choices.

China also has a history of severe exploitation and other uncontrolled factors. They got wealthy with breathtaking speed. It is unwise to look past that to Togo.
Depression for me is mostly being disengaged, not noticing anything, not wanting to think about anything, wanting to sleep 16 hours a day, feeling only low or neutral valence thoughts.
Two things.

(1) Buckminister Fuller told us we had a choice between Utopia and Oblivion but it is hard to go wrong with the assumption that civilization will muddle through. (And that is speaking as someone who has been seriously anti-systemic at times, believed in the "oil peak" in 2001, etc.)

(2) Kids are not going to be the early adopters of the metaverse. To the contrary, the people who buy expensive toys are middle aged men. There are indications that (much) older people like VR just fine if they find the content compelling.

It's true Facebook has trouble attracting and holding on to young people, but there are many parts of the narrative I don't believe, particularly the idea that young people are an attractive audience to advertise to.

Maybe in 1970 getting a child interested in Joe Camel would lead to a lifetime of smoking, but a child that was exposed to Camel or Lucky Strike as a brand in 2010 is either vaping or smoking pot today. Turn on a TV right now and the thing you see advertised the most right now is "Medicare Advantage" plans for people over 65. People will make excuses like "you just aren't looking in the right places" but the fact is that young people don't have a lot of money and businesses struggle to look ahead far enough to cultivate consumers who will be spending 10-20 years from now.

Thus the metaverse is a 10-year mission to bamboozle people about Facebook's next quarter.
Careful. I have a strong disagreement with this. Doing good requires doing good in the sense of doing the things that are high impact. Some of those things require personal loss or suffering but it’s not the personal loss or suffering that makes those things into good acts. Also there are many good things that you can do that require less suffering. Ideally we can get both but we shouldn’t glorify suffering at the expense of outcomes.
>It’s all the same money.

Exactly, which is why tasking every business with calculating risks of pregnancies and funding for them is dumb. Just do it on a nation level, or at least state level.
Sounds a lot like annealing.
In the US there seems to be nothing that people don’t make money on or exploit. No level of human suffering is left alone. Even school shootings are exploited by charlatans to make money and to benefit politically. In such a setting stimulus is the last thing we would get right, because stimulus has always been politicized.
How does this handle someone spending bitcoin outside of the virtual bank?
They never went away. Not the slightest.
> I mean that this is the reason why import taxes exists

If your point was about the generic usefulness of import taxes, then I have misunderstood you, no objections there.

> I am not a fan of calling people "enemies" I prefer to look at their incentives and context

I suspect you are in your rationalist phase right now, given the Scott Alexander link in your bio. I used to be one too. This is a good starting point, but it is just that - a starting point.

> can learn how to change them so that we will have less "enemies" in the future

What you probably have in mind is to have a civilized discussion among reasonable people and thus determine the best overall outcome for the best of all of society. Changing the system so that the resulting forces will produce different outcomes.

I'm not really qualified to elaborate on the topic of changing power structures (in essence: of the problem of governance), so I'll just stop here. But its a different problem than you imagine, and you will recoil from the things that are required to succeed.
You're right about the desire to help. I would add that contracts and tendering are unlikely to have been involved, which probably means they built it in house. That helps enormously: I spent some time at the UK's ministry of justice and when they in sourced they built great, high value stuff in an incremental, iterative way which addressed the greatest pain. Rollouts were quick and testing was central. Nobody was padding a contract to inflate their pay or performance ratings, instead preferring to regularly demo to peers and test with users to demonstrate value.
Yes if course there are Apps. There are Apps for everything .. but this should work just without something special.
>How about we just let real estate developers build housing. Full stop.

I agree with the sentiment but you can't just let them flood in and completely remodel the neighborhood. Zoning has to be changed incrementally so that people get to adjust to the changes slowly otherwise they become full blown NIMBYs that reject everything.
What do you think happened when they watched the video material on a screen? Are you by any chance caught up in some politics over this case to make such a ridiculous suggestion?
HAProxy Celebrates 20th Anniversary in Open Source
From my seat at ParcPlace 1993-1996, I'd offer the synthesis: ParcPlace's legacy-enterprise-apps-focus prevented it from properly chasing the pure-internet opportunity that Java pursued.

ParcPlace had a successful 1994 IPO based on the high-price, deployment-licensing enterprise/legacy-apps market, & had configured itself with sales force & execs having a particular kind of seasoning. From there, how do you reconfigure, & bet the company, on another hypothesized future markets? (It's nearly impossible.)

And yet, ParcPlace soaked up so much of the Smalltalk expertise/mindshare, & even more after the Digitalk merger. IBM's VisualAge offering had a similar high-end focus. So no Smalltalk team of critical mass could fully chase the markets, & positioning, that Smalltalk's cousins Java (& later Ruby via Rails) did.

When Smalltalk needed a champion with the resources to develop it into broader & newer markets, the potential champions – both technical & business – were all distracted, diluted across projects, or (quite rationally) pursuing other lower-hanging fruit that offered more immediate legibly-capturable value in the mid- to late-90s.

Something like an inspired, before-the-curve embrace of open-source & shared-standards might've earned Smalltalk, the language, a bigger future through to today. But those actions might not have earned the then-extant relevant actors enough, soon enough, for them to have thrived or even survived.

"Why not hal?"

"Your colone is to rich in ethanol. And so is the window-cleaning fluid and the stuff they spilled over your shirt."

"But im not drunk. Let me proof it."
"Show not tell" is also a critical idea in seduction or improving your family life. Kids learn to do it before they can talk.
I never got the appeal of cordless headphones. A 120$ pair of headphones from the 80s will still work perfectly fine today. A pair of bluetooth headphones will probably die in 3-6 years, either from a dead battery or because the protocols become outdated.
This is a nice little addition.

The UX is nicer than even the best web sites for this (assuming you're comfortable with the command line).
On reflection, I don't think I buy your premises here:

1. Salaries (and spending proclivities) are hardly so tightly banded that X is affordable for everyone who might want to move to an area and X+1 isn't. Tech company salaries alone vary a ton.

2. Housing prices are not set in a centralized way like concert ticket prices.

Those points notwithstanding, I do agree that if there's tons of pent-up demand for a product, tiny increases in supply are not going to change a seller's market into a buyer's market. It may take a lot of supply to overcome induced demand, market psychology and price stickiness, but there is an amount of added supply that would do it. It's just not the case that every rich person in the world wants to move to, say, San Francisco. Once you've built enough, you're going to have inventory that is moving slower than the sellers would prefer, and sellers will then lower price to make that inventory accessible to a wider pool of buyers.
How do we know that the concept is isolated and able to be vetted separately? Needing stimulus is usually a sign of other policy failures in my book.

People like to act as though big economic crashes are random and unpredictable like a weather event. They aren't, they are generally a result of policy too.
Again, having a lower learning curve is a non-goal for any serious project. All languages have their quirks and approaches to expressing concepts, and golang is no different.

Java already has a low latency GC (ZGC), and with GraalVM being more and more used, more frameworks are starting to allow building native binaries (e.g. quarkus.io and micronaut.io and helidon.io). Once Spring gets on board, then a huge part of the ecosystem will.

Secondly, if the only concern is packaging and deploying a single file, that's been possible for a long time now (uber jars), and made easier recently with jlink and jpackage.

All "serious" golang projects I saw use some sort of testing suite (like testify), because the built in testing library is so verbose it's basically useless for anything but simple use cases.

And a built in HTTP sever is not a big deal. It's literally a one line maven import, and many such options exist now.

My employer is a big user of golang, and for all company projects, we have to use a framework they built to write code (basically Spring or ASP.NET DI reinvented (but poorly), plus handling some of golang's bad design decisions around error handling and propagation - but it's far from perfect there's only so much they could do). Not to mention having to use bazel to build them and resolve dependencies (and they say golang compiles quickly, lol). All serious projects will end up in that state sooner or later, and in Java land, it's all available from the start and extremely mature and battle tested.

You're right that the experiences are leagues apart, but that's in favor of the JVM. golang has nothing close when it comes to monitoring and observability and continuous profiling. Nor the tunability of the JVM to select the best GC based on the application type.
I take it a step further. I try to write out the content of a meeting in an email so we're all on the same page and can skip the information sharing part. My meetings with my team tend to be very short.
There's no guarantee Jerome Powell will always be the fed chair (and if inflation really gets out of hand he could just be the fall guy).

But the bigger problem is that in an inflationary environment, real assets get bid up high to compensate. This has already happened in housing (clearly) so you're late to the party. If you knew for certain that inflation was going to get to this level before everyone else, maybe it would have been a good idea to do what you're describing.
The way you keep your property price up is by not allowing others to build more property around you. When person days - i want to keep my property price up, what he really says is - i dont want more people to live near me.

It is very different from other kinds of values - for example car is getting more expensive if it is fancier/more unique, but its price does not change with production of way cheaper cars , which all can go same places.

This is why insisting on your house keeping same value is very harmful to other people - this can only be achieved by denying these people the place to stay in the same area.
given that this rollout happened over the pandemic, it's not likely to be the cause of Togo's poverty.

I think there's a mixup between two things here. A _freehub_ contains both the cassette body and the _freewheel_. The former has been invented in the 1930s and popularized by Shimano in the late 1970s [1], the latter has been around since the 19th century [2].

I know right around seven languages I would be comfortable claiming I knew on a job application. I am probably more opinionated about language features, but less picky about the specific language for it.
That wouldn't fly at FB. Doing busywork without producing impact doesn't count for anything. And CR comments are reviewed by managers - a bunch of LGTMs doesn't add up to much. It might unblock the team, but the goal is to uplevel the team, so meaty comments that impart knowledge are searched out.
Lock files are not enough, you can't review all the dependencies yourself every time you lock. A new tool is needed to deal with trust.

“Depression” isn’t one disorder it is a convenient diagnoses for a cluster of symptoms with many underlying causes.

Don’t lean too hard on a dichotomy between what is just “chemistry” and what is not. Do not lean too hard on neurotransmitters, they are sold to the public as one dimensional “serotonin does X, dopamine does Y”.

Your brain is more or less the most complicated feedback system in the universe. Depression is a high level dysfunction of this system, it doesn’t have a simple cure like turning up the thermostat on one variable.

Behavioral interventions are physical interventions. What isn’t reasonable is expecting a “do this it’s good for you” solution, regardless of what that solution is.

Usually the solution is many things, and it will take a very long time to understand them well unless you want to volunteer for experimental brain surgery.
The man is still a beacon, after dying in 2016, as an engineer and as a person. He wasn't perfect, but he is responsible for a number of things. He co-founded ZeroMQ, created AMQP, was CEO of Wikidot, helped create RestMS and wrote many insightful and illuminating articles, especially on living well and dying well. Every once in a while I find something he wrote that I haven't seen and save it. This is one of those.
Select as what though, by what criteria and for what purpose? No one is arguing that the Michelangelo replica isn't a more beautiful object or representative of better craftsmanship.

And anyway I feel that putting our unnamed theoretical artist up against one of the all time great artists in history is a bit unfair. Anything recognizable as a Michelangelo will automatically win just because he's Michelangelo. Probably more fair to put him up against a second-rate contemporary of Michelangelo that most people haven't heard of if you want to remove 'name recognition' from the equation.
But who cares? If that's the same box that I connect to when I view Netflix content, then that's the performance I want to know about. Unless you are saying this OpenConnect box (will have to look whatever that is up later) is different from what connection is made when I hit Play, then that could be an issue.

Then again, Fast.com is primarily a tool for Netflix. It let's its users feel like they are getting "useful" information, but actually provides much more useful information to Netflix than users. If that data generated from Fast.com use allows them to provide better service, then great. So if from time to time they decide to switch to different boxes (premise), then I'm actually okay with that too.
