Regardless, landlords set the price. They always had the opportunity to post ridiculous prices, and they bring them to the price people accept. They dont have to go to the edge of what someone would accept. But they do.

The same tech worker (or whoever a local municipality happens to be pointing fingers at) would pay $1200/mo in one area, or $7500/mo in the other area. A wealthy class of people have always existed that can pay rent or mortgage or own at pretty much any price.

The landlords are the greedy ones - the neighbors and corporations that were already there for the most part. I’m not arguing for anything (in case someone mistakes this for a rent control argument), just have been in enough cities to hear it all.
This reminds me of a bit of trivia from Italian politics.
A few years after WWII, a senator from the main post-Fascist party greeted a fellow senator from the Socialist party (who had fought for the Resistance), saying: "We fought gallantly on opposite sides, now we can shake hands". The other replied: "Yeah, then we won so you could become a senator. If you had won, I'd still be a prisoner".
As soon as your test suite grows to the point that users aren't likely to run ALL tests before pushing new changes, you can't.

Why?

I have run trunk for years, naturally you don't tag and deploy to prod if tests fail. But the world keeps turning if trunk has a test fail. Or a build breakage. Or a code style breakage.
You just fix it. On trunk, everyone can see it and anyone can fix it.

Big fan on commit early.
It was ultimately Pfizer's trial and Pfizer bears all responsibility for their contractors.
Slack threads seem designed to ensure you can't follow a conversation without branching off into numerous sidetracks, which are hard to find when you're directly addressed.
South Bay, Silicon Valley in the old historical sense, is still a boring suburban sprawl with above average restaurants and high rents/house prices.

Certain amount of extra package thieving but it hasn't changed much in the last 25 years as a place to live.

The economics of area is harder to be sure about.

San Francisco had reached a point of absurdity, and is poorly run for a city as well off as it is.

4,000 subsidized studio apartments would largely solve the homeless problem, for example.
You, in what sounds like a reasonably-well off position, struggle with the 1.3M home costs, etc.

Imagine how it must be to be surrounded by 1.3M homes and multi-thousand dollar apartments when you're broke, not well paid, and can barely afford any of it? Homelessness and crime are both things that people are much more likely to resort to in a society with wildly inequal distributions of wealth than in one where everyone is in a similar place.

So we could build more jails and prisons, throw more people in them. Punish people very harshly for stepping out of line as we continue to worsen the ability of the less-wealthy/less-paid to thrive. "There's no excuse for resorting to crime," etc. Criminalize sleeping on the street so that we can toss them somewhere too.

We could build massively more. That seems much more humane. But a lot of people don't want to do that!

So we could push people out, lower the demand. That would put pressure on prices and open up housing... nobody wants to do that, though! We just sorta "unintentionally" do it by choosing not to do anything else - let the problems push people away on their own!

The crime isn't a direct symptom of government dysfunction, it's a symptom of the ever-growing divide. The government dysfunction is trying to have your cake and eat it too, but that's not actually just the government that wants to do it - tons of citizens want to both keep housing scarce and less dense and get rid of visible homelessness.

What do you think the government alone could do that wouldn't result in their being rapidly voted out by people who don't want change?
I’m kind of tired of hearing about NFTs - cool, you added a store to your game - who cares?

But I’m very tired of hearing why NFTs are a scam. Cool, you don’t want to buy video games skins that way - who cares?!?

I’ve heard -one- good argument against NFTs and -one- good argument for, and both those posters were drown in a sea of angry replies. I guess I just don’t understand why it gets people so riled up in either direction.
Sorry, my bad. I misinterpreted TT-392's comment and thought he was referring to another person's comment and being too charitable with this person's intentions. I didn't realize he was referring to you.
Heliostats could work too but might be a challenge with the dust storms. At least at first.

What’s the current wisdom on bioremediation of perchlorates? That seems to be the sticking point.

We know on earth that tidal zones have been a hotbed of evolution. I have this notion in my head of creating terraforming equipment (specifically atmosphere and water) that buffers its output and releases it in pulses though a transitional zone. Like a marine fish tank. Say at the bottom of a canyon or partially enclosed space.

This alternating availability of resources should select for more resilient lines.
> A good example of this is _mm_mul_epu32. The below is the Wasm equivalent

Pretty sure the "equivalent" is at least 10 times slower.

AMD64 CPUs don't have SIMD instructions multiplying 64-bit integers. The wasm32::u64x2_mul WASM function must be emulated somehow. The emulation gonna take many instructions and cycles.

The fact that you can boot the M1 from a different OS (but you still need the internal SSD even if you boot from an external disk) is a corporate decision.

The fact that someone decided to provide support for a raw image instead of a Mach-O file could very well be the work of someone ar a much lower level.

I think what you've said here, while well reasoned, is pretty much the kind of magical thinking about the power of the media and its influences that I think is a part of the paralysis around the subject.

Media, in your words, is simultaneously purely driven by capital and Machiavellian self-interest, "not working for the public" and _also_ is an entity that should be concerned about the ethics of putting "such partisan and deceptive voices front and center". In this world, there exists a cabal of people, all moving in concert to suppress the truth (which truths? don't know) and release propaganda, all of which, of course, everyone in society cleanly falls for.

The problem, of course, is that you're taking the actions of a loosely defined group of hundreds or thousands (or more) of publications, and importantly, _individuals_ working at those publications in the U.S. and around the world and pushing them together into a grand narrative.

I don't really think I'm being naive. We've all gotten to see the rise of independent media and the new gigantic wave of disinformation networks that came along with it. The democratization of content creation was a shift of power from "elites" to the common people. And yet, independent media tends to reproduce the same kinds of narratives of traditional media (and often even more nefarious ones), just with a different face. It's precisely because of the relationship between people and the media that there are no easy answers.
We provide hardware to contractors all the time. They don't own the hardware so the loaner does not trigger a taxable event for them. When the contract is over, they return the hardware. The hard part about this in the current day and age is getting the units through customs.

Everything I've seen indicates it was a shared file. I haven't seen any reports that files that are actually private (not shared) get deleted.
It's very much like the old days of computing. Before everything got serious and humor became taboo.
The US government can also swoop in and ban or heavily tax ETH exchanges and that cuts off the majority of those would do transactions. There's no need to take down every node; I can't see how any of those translate to killer features for this reason. For PGP, I don't understand why the user isn't encrypting them on their own machine. That seems like an incredible waste to implement encryption in a smart contract. As far as sanctions go, the fact that criminals and ransomware and other fraudsters can't be stopped or sanctioned is an anti-feature if you ask me.

Also I hope you can understand that leading the conversation with these "fight the government" sentiments really sours the debate on crypto, to me that only cements the idea that this stuff only appeals to other nation-state actors, activists, journalists, and scammers/criminals. Which I suppose is fine, except for the criminals, but at that point it's the same niche that Tor fits into.
They mean "democrat" as the people who practice democracy, not the US political party
This all sounds good, but if I assert that the earth is flat on Facebook why shouldn't that simply be labelled false so others can avoid wasting their time trying to refute a ridiculous assertion? And if you agree with that, all we're arguing about is where to draw the line between "obviously false" and "disputed" facts.

> It becomes necessary when you lie all the time.

There are plenty of people lying and/or grifting on the other side of this power structure as well. There is some non-zero benefit being provided by fact checking, but it's certainly not an ideal situation. The real problem is virality. No one felt the need to fact-check discussion forums because those posts were not likely to spread to millions of people.

Hi bgirard! I support the FB team that works on this - it's on the roadmap to open source hopefully H1 next year :) It's continued to find significant leaks in other parts of our infra too, so hopefully it will be equally helpful to others. Great to see others looking at memory tools now too - I'll definitely be checking Fuite out
your appeal to emotion rings hollow. Did I deny that? My family viewed the US as such in the past. No longer, I can assure you. It is precisely because we have experienced life in the US and Asia that I feel that I can actually comment on this topic.

If you seriously think millions of Taiwanese think this of America I would love to see your reaction when you travel there. Ohio, the Mojave, Alaska. Insulting on a whole new level, really.
> By that logic

No, not by that logic. The logic is "some people claimed that claims of the possibilities of bad outcomes were instances of the slippery slope fallacy, and now that the bad outcomes were actually realized, they should apologize, because something isn't the slippery slope fallacy if things further down the slope have actually happened". That's not even remotely connected to anything you said here.
This law seems to be vague in critical ways:

>"performs the dynamic driving task, with or without a natural person actively supervising the autonomous technology's performance of the dynamic driving task"

The terms 'dynamic driving task' and 'supervivising' are critical here, and don't seem to be clearly defined. Supervising could mean an absence of active physical control, maybe meaning a 'supervisor' without a hand on the steering wheel, but with access to a kill-switch. 'Dynamic driving task' also seems a bit vague; does this mean turning, changing speeds, or something else?

This could be interpreted for or against Tesla; maybe that's what they wanted.
I gave up on Amazon some time ago and just use aliexpress now. Might as well remove some of the middle men and amazon is basically "everything made in china" anyhow.

I've been burned a few times with amazon sending me made in china knockoffs, or sending me things via "prime" that take as long as aliexpress.
My comment was not about what is reasonable for companies to run. In fact, I implied that it is reasonable for companies to run proprietary agents, because they have contracts and legal remedy through the courts if the products turn out to be malicious spyware.

My judgement is confined to what is reasonable for individuals to be asked to run in their own operating environments. Individuals lack recourse through the courts, barring some watershed law like a US GDPR with a provision for adequate liquidated damages.

I also pointed out a straightforward path if a company still wants their contractors/employees to run unaccountable proprietary crapware on the devices used to do work - purchase dedicated devices for contractors/employees to use for work, rather than expecting to get exclusive software installed on shared equipment. Coupled with an appropriate home network set up, this provides complete compartmentalization, assuming any sensors can be disabled.

(deliberate employee-hostile software, eg employee activity trackers, is out of the scope of this comment)
I have Ergodox Ez, it looks like this one is slightly updated version. Pinky row is lowered (which I think is an advantage, I have wondered for a long time why the pinky row is too high in EZ.). It has Bluetooth which I would prefer.

It has some ZMK firmware which I haven't studied, I have only used QMK, otherwise looks good.
While I can't be sure, I believe the commenter is referring to "democrats" (an actor in a democratic government) and not "Democrats" (actors within a political party in the US). Correct me if I'm wrong.
while true, the bigger problem is the "two-party system." Democrats get voted in and do nothing or make things worse, but when election time comes around again, people'll keep voting Democrat again and again, because they're most certainly not going to vote Republican, and we've somehow been brainwashed into thinking that those are the only two options for any elected position. with no viable competition, corruption spreads and entrenches itself, and the whole region generally decays over time.

that it's the Democratic Party we're talking about here is irrelevant—this is just a natural consequence of the two-party system.
you sound so arrogant and mad lol
You couldn't have stated this any better or more succinctly. Well said. This is the reality of our current day situation in corporate news media, politics, and the sharing of information on social media with people we care about.

Imagine if CNN interjected in our in-person conversations with friends and family on nearly everything we said -- it would be a nightmare -- and on social media, there is no difference in its nightmarishness or weight, and to think that some millions of people are in full support of such interjections in order to protect their own narrative, because as long as someone powerful is watching out for them to prevent the high crime of "disagreement" viewed as dangerous bullying, they couldn't care less how negatively it impacts society, much less the other side of the aisle's freedom to discuss, debate, and participate in the broader discussions society brings us.

There's a lot of irony in nearly an entire political segment (leftists) in 1) supporting third wave feminism as a means to shut down, specifically men, from correcting others when they're wrong, or simply acting on one's behalf out of kindness (I ain't need no man), and 2) supporting the same behaviors by abusive corporate media outlets and paid commentators acting on behalf of social networks.
You broke your production system, and didn’t have 2FA set up, or a recovery plan. None of that is Digital Ocean’s fault. Slow response to tickets is unfortunately a problem with many services, a problem of scale.

I’ve hosted sites on DO for several years, never had any problems with them. On the few occasions I had to contact their support I got a reply right away.

Use OTP 2FA. Log in to your hosting provider console before doing critical deployments or upgrades. Use a staging server and have a recovery plan you’ve tested.

No hosting provider is perfect, some are more reliable and responsive than others. But instead of blaming this on DO maybe title your post “Don’t use my service in production.”
Please don't post this sort of shallow, grandiose rhetoric. It leads to low-information, high-indignation discussion—i.e. flamewar—i.e. the crap that we're trying to avoid here.

If you want to make this kind of critique, fine, but you need to do it with substance and not just turn up the volume knob.

I agree you can make software rigorous like in ME. The part which is hard is that debugging or proving properties about a program is much more difficult than writing the program. These costs are currently hard to amortize over multiple projects. Real-time systems have some of these facets (e.g., spacecraft).

For example, a memory allocator can be studied in the usual algorithmic sense or perhaps how they impact the stability of the system under randomized load. Can you prove the system remains stable? Yeah. Is it worth it when you can reboot machines and add some heuristics? No.

Currently, the big places which are getting any attention for verification of functionality are embedded applications and OS kernels. Even then, the depth of verification is limited to common bug categories.
Seconded. We use Amazon Workspaces with access to our VPC for an offshore contracting firm we are working with.

Something being a political view doesn't mean its not verifiable fact.

A debate has different facets - political or not political - fact or not fact - harassment or not harassment.

In this case the problem that needed to be addressed by Purdue was the harassment.

Students debating different understandings of Tiananmen Square (regardless of either sides merits) was not the issue that required intervention by university leadership.

It's funny how much of big deal the notch was when the new Macs came out, but after using my MBP for a month+, I never (and I mean never) even notice it or get bothered by it.
While I dont completely agree with you, you do make good points. I would argue that Cryptocurrencies lacking sovereignty is what makes it appealing and gives it value for most users. Bitcoin is seen as an inflation hedge for many investors when they see their own government printing money like its post WW1 Germany (Exaggeration). The volatility is definitely an issue for someone looking to invest a serious amount into.

I personally feel that we are still in the very early stages of this tech and I think it will continue to grow.
BMJ has shown a lot of integrity throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

They have repeatedly questioned the claims of vaccine makers, especially Pfizer, in a way that no other serious publication, scientific or corporate, has.

They platformed the many experts who called into question the evidence basis for masking children in schools, for closing schools, for lockdowns, and several other now obviously failed mitigation strategies at a time when Nature and Lancet had already moved their gaze elsewhere, almost completely failing to catalog the collateral damage.

This is incredibly strongly worded for a medical journal, but no more strongly than is warranted:

"These materials revealed a host of poor clinical trial research practices occurring at Ventavia that could impact data integrity and patient safety. We also discovered that, despite receiving a direct complaint about these problems over a year ago, the FDA did not inspect Ventavia’s trial sites."

...

"We are aware that The BMJ is not the only high quality information provider to have been affected by the incompetence of Meta’s fact checking regime."

BMJ platformed this particular whistleblower at a time when the facts revealed (most obviously the unblinding) were already the subject of widespread speculation in expert circles, but were magnetically drawn to the memory holes of mainstream social media by 'fact checkers'.

And now, with Facebook having demonstrably used its editorial discretion and censorship to protect Pfizer's reputation and profits, BMJ has carefully taken them to task in a way that we might expect traditional journalists to do, but haven't.

When we look in our rearview mirror at this pandemic and ask ourselves how we can ensure that the next one doesn't provide for states and corporations to go on vulgar grabs for money and power at the expense of the most marginalized in society, BMJ's relatively progressive position on these matters in the past two years will offer a substantial portion of that playbook.
I don't think there are many plausible alternatives, really.
That's fair, but I think in this case boxing people is a method of telling the story, not the end goal; the goal is to point out how a seemingly good quality (Industrious, hard working, energetic) can have negative consequences and results if misused and misguided.

If Facebook doesn't want to be arbiter, they should stop arbitrating.

The moment Facebook chooses what to display, they own the content.

And it just so happens that what Facebook chooses to display, chooses to recommend, are the lies, more often than not.

If your problem is rodent infestation, yeah, you can use mouse traps. And people can make "better" mouse traps, depending on preferences around cruelty, from glue boards to Havaheart. But rat poison is cheaper, simpler, and more effective, specifically second-generation anticoagulants [1].

They're alternatives, with trade-offs. The problem with rat poison and most blockchains are the environmental externalities.

What does the keyboard layout look like? Every single picture of the keyboard on this site shows either a tiny section of the keyboard where you only see like 4 keys, or there's one picture that shows the whole thing, but it's super tiny and you can't read the keys.

Does it have a decent mac layout? Is cmd+tab easy to type? Is copy/paste ergonomic? I have no idea because the pictures don't show it, and scrolling around on their site is awful (you can't quickly scan around because of the stupid animations taking 2 seconds for pictures to pop in even if you're quickly scrolling past.)
