This is the mentality that causes the problem.

You can’t wish away the fact that SFBA has lots of high paying jobs and attracts lots of people from around the country and around the world. The people are already here. All your mentality is doing is dragging any potential remedy out so it takes longer and costs more. You are applying a Heckler’s Veto.

We might as well increase QoL for everyone who actually lives here (and those who are likely to move here in the immediate future), not some idealistic memory of how some of the metro area used to be 30 years ago.
I'm not familiar with this particular study / analysis.

I am familiar with various other analyses which count fuel production or consumtion by originating or selling country or territory. E.g., Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela. Or the case of Gibralter, which is a major fuel-bunkering depot, and for which marine fuel use is attributed in at least some analyses. That strikes me as ... rather distortionary in several regards.

Marine fuel use allocation (about 6% of petroleum consumption IIRC) might be counted against:

- The country of the ship's owner(s).

- The country of the ship's registration ("flag of convenience).

- The countries of origin and destination of a given voyage.

Bunkering is no doubt the easiest figure to arrive at by tracking flows and expenditures. That's an availability heuristic, however. (Not uncommon in economic analysis, FWIW.)
A lot of text to claim that a nft on db, the db is owned by eg. Google and a ntf on Blockchain is owned by the people, lol.

He doesn't know about OpenSea delisting i suppose? https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/1500010625362-W...

Being delisted from the largest marketplace is likely to be the same as having no listing at all.

Iran Orders Crypto-Mining Ban to Save Power During Winter Crunch
It’s a British conservative magazine. I would say it’s very high quality. Just take a look in private browsing mode to read some more articles and decide
I wasn't overly worried about it, I could always use nicotine gum if I felt I had to.
I actually liked the "Downward Strategy Spiral" diagram, which I think is the one you are referring to. It's one of the few things I liked about the article.

I've seen a lot of engineers and SREs (especially SREs!) get stuck in the execution mindset: get the job done, no matter what it takes.

Ultimately this leads to a situation where, instead of questioning why tools and platforms and processes suck, people apply shortcuts and workarounds without thinking about how they fit into the big picture. These workarounds accrete, eventually causing serious problems.

One example: a CD system has a very rigid definition of what an "environment" is, and it's not possible to run more than one version of a given software package simultaneously in an "environment" in order to do performance tests or canarying or things like that.

The "execution mindset" approach to that situation is to create new "environments" in order to just get the code deployed and close your ticket. Pretty soon the org ends up with dozens of these, some of which are only used by a single team, e.g. "prod" and "teamA-prod-sandbox" and "teamB-prod-perf-test." The "strategy mindset" approach is to say, hey, wait a minute, this "environment" design is not working well, people are hacking around it by creating new "environments," so let's fix that design so people don't need to do that anymore.
You make it sound like your salary is just meaningless points, but of course the reason coworkers might resent a seemingly overpaid person is that they’re actually very meaningful points that are fungible across everyone’s salaries. And it’s totally compatible with what you’re saying if it turns out that salary transparency itself affects the supposed “negotiating skills” of the highest earners.
I really like the declarative style of make, to the extent that I've been abusing it as an automation tool. Doing things like checking if a server is alive or setting up a serial port. But due to limitations like depending on mtime and issues with special characters in targets, I've switched some of my more intensive Makefiles to prolog using this: https://github.com/webstrand/robo.

When I find the time I hope to write bindings for netlink for prolog, so that I can declaratively create and configure network namespaces. Complete declarative system configuration using prolog would be a dream come true.
It sounds like you aren't quite talking about the same sort of thing as the author is. The author seems to be focused more on independent, original thought, and actually recommends more or less the opposite to your points:

> Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it. Not learning other people’s ideas, or memorizing a body of information, however much those may sometimes be useful. Developing your own ideas. In short, thinking for yourself.

Your advice seems to be focused on how to "build a better intuition/thinking" skills(what a CEO might typically want to learn), where the author's sounds to be more around "how to build high quality original work"(what a creator might want to do). Your advice probably fits the title of "how to think" better, but there's something to what the author is saying as well - high quality, original work is extremely valuable. Again, you're right - this deserves a book.
Yes there is. It's not an original, but it's basically the same thing.

It's actually a much "safer" process for buyers and sellers today...there actually used to be greater integration in the past, but a lot of that went away in order to protect consumers. Regarding fees - when you actually break down the cost of a home sale, the fees really aren't much. On the sell side in particular, that commission should be irrelevant if the listing agent was doing their job, IE: marketing your property in a way to get you a top dollar return. Likewise, from the perspective of the buyer - the NAR / DOJ lawsuit could result in a scenario where the buyer pays an agent commission directly, rather than via the closing settlement, but I guarantee we do not want to be living in that world - it's a case where the current system might seem bad, but it's better than the alternatives. Would love to chat sometime if you have thoughts on the industry.

As much as I love my clients... there are very few who are "easy" in the same way that there are very few "normal" transactions - this is where Zillow et. al. just don't understand the realities of real estate.
The goal could be something as simple as, “design a search page.”

Product/bizfuck person will re-think autocomplete, client-side rendering of results, want categories of results that don’t exist in the data, dynamism for each user that can’t exist given the data.

Developer wants to build search page like every other one so that we can get to market faster and move onto something that will actually affect the business.

Everyone has different priorities but the engineers are usually based in reality as we have to actually make the f’ing thing.
How about my personal data is private by default unless I choose to share it not the reverse? Opt out privacy is total fucking bullshit. Let’s start there.
What is the minimum wage (including minimum salaries wage) in your state? Amount of paid sick/parental leave? Overtime laws?

All those floors on quality of life for people at the bottom require higher prices.
Not to any significant extent AFAIA, though specifics will depend on the device, components, and drivers in question.

In almost all cases, OpenWRT extends rather than restricts device capabilities.

That said: choose your hardware based on OpenWRT support if at all possible.
The sandboxing restriction is one that merits care for (or not supporting) some use cases. Tup requires declaring all outputs (but not all inputs), which can be inconvenient when a build process creates intermediate or derived files that are tedious to anticipate. [0]

You mean the same policy that resulted in a whole bunch of people living in flood zones? And which we can't get them to leave because it would be politically unpopular to raise their insurance premiums to reflect their actual risk? That seems more like an example of exactly why we don't want the government -- which inevitably means politicians -- setting insurance rates.
In my experience, engineers are mostly told “make this” and denied the opportunity to exercise broader strategy decision making skills.

It’s “don’t worry your pretty little head”, “we need you spending time on this, not wasting it on that”, “you don’t have all the information”, “the best way to help is to be heads-down programming and let us do our job of strategy”.

All ways to keep you in your place. Fast forward ten years, and is it really surprising that a perfectly capable engineer wouldn’t succeed on the first shot?

Funny thing, give him six months of practice (often the current strategy people had far more) and surprise, he’s perfectly competent!
No, it's not. The premise of an insurance pool is that the lucky subsidize the unlucky. Differences in premiums are supposed to account for good vs bad.
If anybody is looking for a vc-backed startup with deep MN roots, connect with me about Civic Eagle. Email is jesse@

Definitely have had some similar experiences though overall I have to say it hasn’t been a barrier to hiring and interfacing with tech folks from the coasts. Our MN team members are extra loyal, though ;) Honestly it’s a bigger barrier on the finance side.
Agreed. Simple life. This is the way. These megacities aren't sustainable and have consumed so many resources that could have sustained untold generations.
Or perhaps it was just a template for making lances with known relative thicknesses at different parts.
It should be possible to reduce emissions by 90% and capture the rest by 2050. After that we may be able to go net negative.
I think you are onto something. Our(US) government and ideologies are on a crash course with reality. The question is which side is more immovable.

That sounds like a great policy, honestly. Instead of devaluing workers in other countries, they treat them as equal to local people. It also means they’re looking for talent on a level playing field and not trying to skimp out by hiring “cheap” workers.

What spoke in the wheel? In hypothetical perfect competition there is zero long run economic profit. The whole point of profit motive is that the opportunity for economic profit means there are resources being allocated inefficiently.
> If you root-hack a phone you can easily get all messages the user sees after you hacked it.

This is not even necessary if you're in bed with hardware manufacturers, which could be the case with governments.
All is needed is a system level daemon running in background, disguised as service or device driver pushed as mandatory upgrade, having access to the underlying iron. The user employs super strong cryptography? Who cares if we can read what is sent to the screen and tunnel it over the network to us. Passwords? Who cares if we can sniff the touch screen data to get the tapped points coordinates containing the position of keys on the virtual keyboard.
Point is that there is zero protection against surveillance if the adversary has control over the hardware. Which is the reason why flashing an FOSS operating system on a closed hardware/firmware platform, although being indeed a good thing, isn't enough to claim victory.
Try strategizing in a mid-sized non technical mid-sized company. Here is where engineers are treated like mechanics at pep boys. You are either ignored or put to your place about the kind of work your are supposed to do, with the exception of crisis scenarios or 'no-one is interested in the outcome' scenarios.

In large companies strategy is mostly about helping power brokers to do their bullshit jobs.

In my experience, only opportunity for engineers to contribute to a meaningful strategy is in a small team with business person as CEO/Owner and they really want to listen to the engineer's opinion.

Maybe in tech companies engineers might have different experience.
China's emissions per capita are half that of the US, and it seems very reasonable that they would see an increase in carbon emissions as the average standard of living goes up. The US is only aiming for carbon neutral by 2050, and we have less work to do and more money to do it with. I'm no fan of China, but I think we're on the same page regarding renewables.
> the literal sole goal is to profit.

When trying to build an argument from first principles, it's important not to make a mistake early on. In your case, you use the profit seeking as an argument that this automatically leads to minimizing everyone's salaries.

In reality, profit gets maximized when you have a team full of high achievers and with very low turnover. That's fundamentally not compatible with your original hypothesis.
I have a computer and display combo that does 4K @ 144hz just fine with no stream compression. Instead it uses two DP cables at once. It’s a 2080Ti GPU and Acer Nitro XV3 display.
That seems silly given that the cost of the phone call is surely orders of magnitude less than the insurance payout. What kind of business is going to forgo a four or five figure check like that?
I live in Burlingame and this is pretty far from the truth.

We care deeply about our schools and donate millions every year to support them.

We absolutely care about Caltrain.

We absolutely care about crime.

The whole point of living in Burlingame is good schools and low crime. Why else would we pay such insane prices for housing?

Anecdotally, responses to these types of posts by people I know are mostly from people who have never been/visited, who have political leanings which oppose all of SF/liberal policies, and who love any opportunity to “dunk on” their political rivals. The SF residents (current and former) I know are much more muted and nuanced in their criticism.

What really bothers me is that if I watch a non-English film on Netflix or Amazon Prime, the subtitles are often garbage. Sometimes even English films have spelling mistakes and poor attempts to condense the dialogue.

I’ve hear actual certification held out as a decent alternative to requiring a degree for everything.

I’ve also seen similar complaints from lawyers: you’re basically stuck in whatever state you passed the bar exam in.
Unions and public positions are not the only ones with public salary info. As I stated in an earlier comment:

Airlines pay just like that (as do taxi companies and most other parts of the transportation industry). Guess what you all have in common? Zero agency. So when you take a job where the ideal output of your labor is 100% deterministic, then it makes sense for your pay to reflect that.
Seems like the association should do a, you know, risk analysis on what will happen if these trends continue.
You can buy your way into a prestigious school. I don't see how some people paying to skip the work denies the achievement of those who don't skip it.

There was also a lot of other history outside of Jacmob...

There was iBot by Ruler Eric who got sued in Florida court by Jagex, with Jagex winning. iBot started of as a color bot, then eventually completely transformed into byte code editing.

Before Powerbot/RSBot, there was Arga, and before that, Aryan. IIRC Arga was the first bytecode editing bot, and Aryan was just a modified RuneScape client.

There was also a C++ Chinese bot used amongst all the Chinese farmers during the Arga days IIRC. This bot apparently working at the packet level (this is what AutoRune did back in the RSC days) and had super low resource usage. However had access to this bot definitely had a huge leg up to any other offerings.

Scar always existed, the forums exploded with activity inbetween the bot nukes (Aryan dying, etc.). I also remember SRL, and the horrible Pascal that came with it. All the random event solvers (e.g. magic box weren't open source -- they were hidden behind a compiled DLL that shipped with SRL).

Weird history, but I'm still in contact with a lot of people from the scene I've met 10+ years later.
As covered elsewhere, John Madden’s partnership with EA created one of the most important (and profitable) video game franchises in history. He was/is literally the face of the “sports video game.” That’s relevant to this forum.

As for sports, while you can not find it interesting personally it’s clear it is interesting to a huge number of people. The consequences and study of that should be interesting in and of itself.

Presumably, changes in the quantum state of the tardigrade's atoms could be inferred from the state of the qubits, thus potentially allowing chemical activity inside cells to be monitored without dissections.

Modern heating is not nearly as cheap as wood heat, at least around me. The problem is not wood burning as much as it is burning unseasoned wood. There should be strict regulations for firewood sellers ensuring wood is seasoned properly but what happens is every year some guy with a truck cuts a bunch of wood and sells it with very little seasoning. This creates the smoke you are experiencing. I can heat my home for about 2 months for $300 where any other heat would cost significantly more. Not just heat my house but heat it to the point I can walk around in my underwear. I've never been able to afford to do that with any other type of heat. Furthermore I have 2 hot water tanks. The first one is connected to the second and city water enters the first tank and the first tank is not powered. It does run to my fireplace through copper pipe and a copper coil at the stove. So for the price I pay for wood I get excess heat and hot water. No other heat can come close.
Show HN: Status Line – Zork (and more) on the Pico-8
It's convenient to clamp our understanding of reality. If I convince myself that cows are baser creatures, it makes it a lot easier to enjoy this juicy burger made from its child.
Avoiding taxes and utilising tax minimisation strategies keeps value with you, but it also distorts your consumption in other ways. EG you are incentivised in the US to purchase more housing (via mortgage interest deduction) than you might want or need.
I'd like to introduce Status Line, a z3 game interpreter for the Pico-8.
Executables, lots of information, and source code are all available at the itch.io page.

I've always been obsessed with the classic Infocom text adventures and the interactive fiction community that thrived after their demise. Recently, I entered the first ever Puny Jam #1 which required writing a text adventure in the new PunyInform (a flavor of Inform that supports older computers via the z3 game format).

This all rekindled my interest in the genre and made me very curious to understand how the "z-machine" VM works. I enjoy using the Pico-8 as a kind of exploration medium for mentally dissecting older software and reimplementing it within Pico-8 constraints. To be honest, I like pushing the Pico-8 to do things that aren't immediately associated with the platform.

I had written Eliza and VisiCalc clones for the Pico-8 before, and it seemed like a fun project to build an interpreter for the game I wrote for the Puny Jam. More specifically, I wanted to be able to play Zork and Planetfall on the Pico-8. It's "cozy" space is (to me) a good match to that game genre.
Most of _San Francisco_ doesn't have that problem. One of the really weird parts about SF is that the worst part of town is right next to the tourist area, and all the tech companies congregated in the area that had really cheap office space because no established companies would touch the area.

That's all well and good, but your real problem is that both of those pages fall well after the book is closed on being able to make a real difference. I also forgot to note that India has only committed to net zero emissions by 2070, and that's far too late to avoid serious issues.
This seems like a bit of a straw argument. OP poses the question of why the salary range isn't listed in the job description. That is not the same thing as having a transparent ledger of each individual employee's salary, available to all within the company. The range listed in the JD is just a starting point for discussions by prospective employees.
Or they are a case for this idea of the universe itself being conscious and beings tap into that via neurological mechanisms we do not understand well.

It may be a base level of complexity / capability is needed to tap into the "field of consciousness", which could explain bees, these things, and other seemingly too small living systems doing more than their apparent weight class would indicate is possible.
Likely zero. "boulos" was probably tapping away at something on his phone or listening to headphones and didn't respond when the employee at the deli counter yelled "Next." Or maybe, it was as simple as an 80-something year-old guy not feeling comfortable leaving his 80-something year-old wife at home alone for long.

Whatever happened, boulous is still so bitter about it that he felt it necessary to post this story on the day the man died. Says a lot more about him than about John Madden.
