> internationally there are some challenges

"Some challenges" is doing a lot of work there. That's like saying that a hurricane's "a bit of water". If you're in Montana and don't have any family in Florida, you can blindly ignore the hurricane as it won't affect you. But realize that's a position of great privilege. For everyone else that can't get Paypal or Venmo or even US bank account in many case, or anyone who's Internet access is solely WhatsApp and not Venmo (due to Facebook providing free access to their properties and only their properties in certain countries), this is a total game changer.
>If you charge 1k a month now, the reason you don’t charge 1200 is because they won’t pay it.

>If you have a LVT, and try to increase the rent, your tennent wouldn’t be gaining any more value from the land that they currently are, so you still won’t be able to charge 1200.

This only holds if there's no competition between landlords - so the landlord extracts the maximum possible rent from each tenant. If I'm a tenant and living in this area is worth $1500 for me; but there are two landlords competing to have me pay them, I might end up paying $1000. If then both landlords raise their prices to pass the LVT, my rent ends up higher.

It's an empirical question and not easy to answer as to how much of the economic surplus is captured by the tenant vs landlord
This seems like good advice. Go to a small company (or team) where architecture is being created, not a large one where it’s being maintained.

Of course the other side of this is that you will HAVE to write a lot of code. Just be prepared for that responsibility.

It would be so easy to implement, it seems scornful not to. When I want a needle, they hand me a haystack and say "we etched 'this is a needle' into the needles for you so you'll know when you find one. Good luck."

I ran too, from a suburban area calling itself a city to an actual city. And I loved the walk/bike/lightrail restaurant/concert/etc lifestyle. But ultimately if you want to get some relief from the rent treadmill (which includes "buying" shared walls with unreasonably high valuations), you inevitably end up back in less dense areas.

Suburbs are certainly not my ideal of "heaven". I feel like I'm being argued with by younger people still in the phase where they're in love with the city, extrapolating my points into general indictments of density. They're most certainly not. All I'm pointing out is that once you're already past needing to drive everywhere, having the space to actually do things and be left alone is much nicer than being packed up on your neighbors.
It's indistinguishable from gambling. A billion failed tickets never match a single winning story.

I've driving a lot farther than 60 miles without disengaging. Many thousands of miles without ever once panic braking for a shadow.

Even average drivers die about once every 100 million miles. AP is so far from that it isn't fair to try and compare. And that's just average drivers, which includes drunks, tired people, 16 year olds, weather-related accidents, etc. Put AP or FSD up against a normal, sober driver in decent weather and there's probably five or six orders of magnitude difference in competency.

To get paid, you need to do something that others find useful, right? Isn't that pretty much it in a nutshell ? ;) Identify the problem they're trying to solve, demonstrate capability of doing it. Bingo. An offer will come. Or not due to internal politics or whatever, in which case forget it apply elsewhere. If their hiring process is broken, you can't pass IQ, Myers Briggs or other test, then maybe try to call them and explain politely how you can actually do that job well nevertheless, show your github etc. They won't ultimately turn down someone they know is useful and friendly, right? If a company's hiring process is s*show, but once you get in its fine, then, during the process if you're unfailingly polite and try to make it work, the people doing hiring, who know very well its a s*show, may notice your valiant attempts and give extra points for being pragmatic and trying to fit in. I'm sure in my experience , there's been times when interview process didn't go as planned, people unprepared, didn't read c.v, interviewed me fro wrong job, forgot the time/didn't show up, had to reschedule at last minute, but that's actually an opportunity to show you're laid-back, easy to work with and unfazed by stuff going awry, IMHO, which makes you stand out as good candidate. My (hopefully helpful) 2p anyway. :)
Seems the correct way to parse that is "the GUSD tokens themselves are not insured, whether or not in Earn". The first clause is deliberate obfuscation, and is basically the same as a random member of the public saying "if you give me cash and I put it in my account, that account's FDIC insured" in the hope that this makes him sound like a financial intemediary and not a guy that's really keen for you to give him cash.
I am not sure of this (or maybe I misunderstood your point, sorry). Instead of retail clients, which could get a raw deal from the bank, we can look at inter-bank rates for a sanity check. And those rates, paid to non-retail customers (who know well how to derive a maximum risk-adjusted value) are still very, very low today. US Treasuries yield curve shows pay 0.3% for a 1-year and 1.5% for a 10-year.

While it is certainly harder for a company to get rates as low as US Gov't, solid businesses can get money for 2-3% and weak ones for 5-8% in as large a chunk as they want. Why would they spend a lot of effort chasing retail clients (which are a pain to deal with) and offering them way more?

Some subjects are better taught in groups (like theater), while others are much more effective one-on-one (mathematics). And both do require some component of one-one-one and group teaching to really get an in-depth understanding and be able to communicate ideas, meaning both benefit from some one-one-one and group work - and also we shouldn't underestimate independent study, which was accessible by books and now so much more successful through adaptive learning apps.

I like that approach. If you use client libraries, new RPC mechanisms are "free" to implement (until you need to troubleshoot upgrades). It's also an argument against statically linking.

For instance, if running services on the same machine, io-uring can probably be used? (I'm a noob at this). eBPF for packet switching/forwarding between different hosts, etc.
Agreed.

Frankly it makes me doubt the veracity of some of the activists who go off the handle when these types of controversies pop up.

> Sorry we didn’t put more of it into cars and video games

But that's not the alternative here. Cars and video games are created via private investments, by for-profit corporations (and sometimes by volunteering developers). JWST was funded by NASA with public funding. The alternative to JWST was not cars, but rather the other projects that NASA could have funded, but didn't. When NASA made the initial decision to build the JWST, it excluded other projects on the premise that the JWST will cost about $0.5 BN. When later on NASA had to revise upward the cost, it had to either forgo other projects, or ask the Congress for additional funding. Well, the Congress did not provide additional funding [1]. Those with an internal view of NASA know what other projects were dismissed, or canceled because of the perpetual JWST cost revisions. We (the outsiders) will not be privy of these projects, but they certainly existed.

Make no mistake, I consider JWST to be a phenomenal scientific instrument. But when people applaud the launch of JWST, they don't see the non-launch of the multitude of projects that had to be canceled because of the JWST cost overruns.

I kind of torn between two opinions here.

On the one hand - an adult should be able to make their own choices regarding something like this. I mean, we're all slowly decaying day-by-day and I can understand that one might want to live while their alive and suffer the consequences of a shorter lifespan. Also sometimes one could argue it's actually encouraged not to become obsessed with _never_ doing anything that is bad for your health, we all accept that there's value in stress reduction to sometimes just go out and have an intense night with friends, order in some junk food or just do something really risky for the adrenaline rush.

On the other hand - the intense addiction factor of cigarettes is really quite terrifying and is really unprecedented when compared to other unhealthy habits. A lifelong smoker who quit once told me that the Cigarette, is more like a companion. There in the good times, (celebrate, have a cig), there in the bad, there when you wake up, take a break, or call it a day. They are optimized to be a lifelong companion and the amount of suffering caused by them (directly - to the smoker and indirectly - to loved ones impacted by their addiction) is significant enough (IMHO) to warrant questioning of its impact to human life. Alone 80-90% of lung cancer deaths are attributed to smoking [1], that isn't some minor thing at all. And although for some people cigarettes may start or may always be just a source of relaxation or indulgence occasionally on a night out, once the addiction and habits set in, it becomes a point of stress and suffering when they are not available - which IMO negates any benefits they might provide at the start. You also don't see this sort of wide spread addiction with things like cigars - which to me is a dead giveaway that they are not just some form of indulgence.

I personally would love to see them disappear and never return. I think they provide far more suffering to the individual and individuals surrounding smokers than any of the benefits could ever hope to offset.

If that's not possible, then I'd be satisfied if the addictive substances in them were highly regulated and reduced or removed entirely.

In academia there always is a difference between the way results are advertised and what conclusions are drawn internally. This is more true in some fields than others, I'm most familiar with it ML, Physics. Part of your skill as a researcher is to understand based on omissions, the datasets etc. the quiet part that isn't said out loud. Depending how you sell things you can get a Nature / Science paper with confusing inconsistent terminology, hand rolled C++ implementation, provided you are the first and a another method which might be 1000x times faster will only make it into PRL (yes I'm thinking of two specific papers, but won't say which).
My problem is that in such case there is a whole food chain under my borker:

person -> brokage -> market makers (hft) -> exchange

So my point is, I think in terms of fees it may be more expensive, since you can't interact directly with the exchange. Also try to transfer your assets from one broker to an other. Not always trivial.

Technical choices behind a successful rewrite project
The crashes of the camera app are mostly gone or happen only at edge cases from my recent experience (PinePhone DE). I don't know about GPS, but it seems Gnome Maps works quite well on mobile (haven't tested thoroughly yet). I have a few hiccups with the mobile modem. But phosh (the DE I use) itself has a quite stable experience (~ like desktop gnome). GTK4+libadwaita are the current hype and they have taken this usecase really into consideration for this GTK release. (Qt is also still alive though.)

What's still missing for me hardware-wise is only the battery. Software-wise, the largest missing feature is IM (WhatsApp/Signal/etc). I hope to bridge all IM over Matrix/XMPP whatever, which I can then access on mobile linux. And since the PinePhone is comparable to your usual smartphone in terms of size, carrying around an additional power banks seems to be worth it for me.

Don't get me wrong: I'd not _recommend_ it. But I am willing to give up some UX for running this OS.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells and probably more widespread PHEVs.

I am unconvinced by the case for hydrogen fuel cells or PHEVs.

10-million cars with 200lbs of Li-ion batteries each would save more energy from our transportation network than 2-million cars with 1000lbs of Li-ion batteries each.

The correct answer is the reduction of cars. Taking 10 million cars off the road and switching to public transit and higher density suburban and urban planning would save more energy in the long run.

At this point. Elon is incredibly anti-progress.

> Once you include other land like monopolies like spectrum or patents you're looking at more than 60% of the value of a given stock being tied up in those things.

Yeah, see, that's part of my point. Why just do land, and not "other land like monopolies like spectrum or patents"? Or domain names? Some of those are pretty valuable...

> Bill gates owns a huge amount of farm land.

Sure he does. How did he get the land? Well, he made a ton of money on Microsoft stock, and eventually he sold some of it, and bought land. How much of his money did he make via stock, and how much via land? (Granted, he had the stock longer...)
I am an Android user fed up with Google, but I've never really focused on alternatives to stock Android. I briefly investigated Cyanogenmod and its successor, LineageOS, but never to the point of installing it. I do use the Gmail app on my phone, but it's not a requirement for me. Beyond that, I don't really have strong ties to the Google Suite of apps. I do have a few apps I've purchased and use frequently, but most are freeware.

All that said, for those of you who have de-Googled your phone, how much friction was there? Is there a leader of the pack for alternate app stores (if necessary), and/or do you load APKs directly?
Of course, but it doesn't mean we have to be ok adding even more temptations.
> I like how you say this like it's undoubtedly a good thing.
In Japan, old houses are rightfully considered depreciated as things like "severe regulations" and "low energy consumption" change over time as technology improves.

Not having to deal with earthquakes helps keeping buildings up for longer.

> Having a house built in the 1700s sure isn't going to be easy to solarize or insulate.

In terms of environmental impact, there is a compromise somewhere between using houses for 3 centuries and a decade. Rebuilding all the time is worse than the gains from better insulation and higher environmental standards. It is more expensive as well.

> So paying for 300+ years of that upfront seems pretty dumb.

It’s a good thing we don’t do that, then. Nobody in Europe expect a newly-built house to last for 300 years. However, plenty of them are more than 100 years old and perfectly fine. You can improve insulation both on the inside and the outside of the building, double or triple glazing and some rock wool under the roof go a long way.

> In Austria, are there severe regulations on the safety of building and energy consumption of cars?

Yes, there are.

> I take it that it's very common to see 60, 70, 80 year old cars on the road there and they're not just disposable cardboard quality things, right?

No, 60 years old cars are not common, and for several reasons: there were fewer of them initially, because they were more expensive; cars decay faster than houses due to things like accidents and corrosion; cars get more expensive to insure with time and older cars need more fuel, which makes them less economical to run. Again, there is a sweet spot somewhere between 3 and 30 years.

Not sure whether you are deliberately exaggerating, but you don’t really make any good point. They did not say that we should keep using the same things for millennia, just that re-using to some extent is better than re-building.

I suspect and hope many of these borrowers issuing dollar-denominated debt are also entering into foreign exchange futures contracts. The reason they'd want to expose themselves to US dollar FX risk and then hedge that risk is to make their debt appeal to a wider range of international buyers.

Concrete Mathematics, which isn't the easiest but also not the hardest math textbook, developed out of a course teaching the math from Chapter 1 of TAOCP.

Ask them what age and they’ll tell you what age they think a 78 year old should look like (examples like on oxygen, can’t use legs, obese, completely wrinkly, no teeth, had 20 pills they need daily, basically on the verge of death).

Ask people how does this person look and they’ll often be surprised, epigenetic age matters more (obesity raises it for example) and when we think of age we don’t think years as much as “how old they look”. There are 50 year olds that show accelerated aging and 80 year olds that still look younger than their age. https://www.odditycentral.com/news/ripped-81-year-old-bodybu...

The best thing about the NLM's work in this space is how deeply it has been informed by the needs and workflows of the biomedical researchers, which is a perspective that has been sorely lacking in work coming from outsiders.

I did think that the author did a good job of outlining (some of) the basic structural issues that make this a tough field to monetize, but even setting those aside, there's no substitute for actually knowing your users and what they need, and that's something the NLM is amazing at.

(Disclosure, my PhD was funded by an NLM training grant, some of my research is funded extramurally by the NLM, and I have a lot of NLM colleagues, so I'm maybe a little bit biased)
