You're missing a factor:

3) The Palestinians, both officially and according to opinion polls, want the land inside the Green Line, and refuse to end their "irregular militancy" (aka: war but you want to pretend their hands are clean) until they get it. This issue becomes more urgent after Israel withdrew all its forces and civilians unilaterally from Gaza in 2005, with a plan to do the same in the West Bank, and gets in return a militarized statelet that maintains a state of war with Israel. Worse, Hamas, the PLO, and their Western supporters start moving the goalpost of what constitutes "occupation", so that it stops meaning the presence of active military force and starts referring to the simple state of war between neighbors. Then you can keep telling Israel to "end the occupation of Gaza" so that "ending the occupation" becomes solely defined as meeting the demands of Gaza's ruling government.

Now, I'll bite my political bullets and say that I still think the Gaza Withdrawal was the right thing to do, but I also find it totally obvious and sensible that Israeli voters don't want to repeat the experience with the West Bank, which has high ground from which a rocketeer or a sniper can take easy pot-shots at Israeli civilians down below. I can especially see why most voters don't want to repeat the experience, given that even our supposed Western "friends" and "allies" are willing to redefine words so that we somehow become the perpetrators of a crime whose commission is entirely in someone else's control.

To wit, if someone is accused of assault, it is in fact an alibi to have been a hundred miles away when the supposed assault took place. If Israel is accused of "occupation", an alibi becomes a contradiction-in-terms: "occupation" is now when you have no troops on the "occupied" soil but your neighbor keeps up a state of war with you for their own political reasons.
Survivor bias at its finest.

Dropbox, Spotify, and Twitter all used VC money to launch/improve their product. Just because you don't specifically like the traunch of VC money that was used prior to IPO doesn't mean all VC is blood-sucking.

There are countless examples of products people use that have had some form or shape. In fact, I'd argue there are rarely apps that anyone uses here on a regular basis that didn't have some form of VC money injected into them. The only one that comes to mind is (1) Basecamp (but technically they took money from Bezos) and (2) Atlassian pre IPO (now public).
In the area I'm in $850/mo USD is the low end apartments and you aren't going to get a condo or house for that rate. This is in an area that borders between suburbs and rural (different agencies classify it differently).

I wonder if the rent rates tell a story of certain housing areas and things happening there.
Eh, if the user is in the Midwest or South, I'd believe this story. I wouldn't believe it on the coasts though. One of my first jobs out of the military was being a sysadmin for a national company with next to zero IT infrastructure. I was interested in scaling their storage infrastructure due to some commitments I found in their contracts, but they had no cognizance of their systems capabilities. I was also NAASCO certified and qualified to work on their robots and trucks so my job was fairly expansive but I have no doubt they'd let something like this happen in a well-defined position.

Can't wait for a bunch of apartments to suddenly become "second chance" properties where they require first and last month's rent up front along with an additional unrefundable deposit of another month's rent.

IRS Will Soon Require Selfies for Online Access
These headlines are some of the weirdest backwards stories I’ve seen lately. It’s like everyone is desperate to make this into a crisis yet reality isn’t delivering the eviction catastrophe the headline writers wanted.

Obviously we’re seeing more evictions now that they’re literally not banned. That’s not news. However, this is shocking:

> The rates of evictions served are approaching pre-pandemic levels in certain areas.

If eviction rates are “approaching pre-pandemic levels” then isn’t the real shocking headline that eviction rates are lower than before the pandemic despite the eviction moratorium? What am I missing?
> Presumably this makes Russia and China more protected from attacks on the global network.

Of course. And North Korea is probably more protected against terrorist attacks than most of the "free world". That doesn't mean it's a good trade-off in general.

In practical terms, it depends on what you mean "continue with their internal internets". Most of the points of failure for "internet use as understood by the public", are actually just implementation mistakes by private companies - i.e. nobody says you have to host on (and hence go down with) AWS, or rely on (and hence go down with) Facebook/Google Login.

DNS is distributed (it's in the name!); if rootservers went down there would be hiccups for sure, but they could be fixed. Same for the rest of the fundamental network stack; after all, the internet was built to withstand nuclear attack. Whether it would be a good experience (i.e. slow, private services not working, etc), that's something else. If you're based in China and you rely on FB Login, no amount of governmental infrastructure will help you when FB becomes unreachable.

>>Time in physics is similar to the number of a frame in video. For example, from two frames of a video of a thrown ball one can deduce the its whole trajectory. But it does now explain why when we see the video we see ball's movement. In a sense from a physical point of view the whole trajectory exists at once, there is nothing special about a particular point of a trajectory. There is no now.

Here you are conflating a perceptual task with a kinematic equation. What makes you think that these two concepts make sense to tie together so intimately?

We sleep with the window open in the bedroom, and I air the place each morning. Also, it’s almost too well insulated, as it’s easy to accidentally make it 30C in here while it’s -9 outside - so more often than not we have a window cracked open for some air whilst sat in in the evenings. Our PM2.5 is often a silly number, same reason. I’m considering getting an air purifier, but to be honest, given all the crap I’ve inhaled whilst building the place, and given that I smoke anyway, it’s low on my list.

Based on the abstract, it seems to avoid discussing the question whether that test would be the best possible in terms of effort/cost vs quality.

My guess would be that even a lay person would statistically be quite good at judging whether a person is at risk of dying early, for example by seeing them walk, looking at the smoothness of their skin, cursory reading a history occupant illnesses, and knowing whether they smoke or drink.

Question then would be what this would add to the judgment of a general practitioner.

But if people have a different experience with that then I don’t doubt it.

> The second portion would allow police camera access in “public safety crisis areas,” which would include spaces known for open-air drug markets or where there has been a documented spike in violent crimes. The measure involves privately owned security cameras placed throughout the city.

I'm confused. Does this mean private cameras are forced to provide their video feeds to the police, regardless of their owner's wishes? I don't think there's any law that prevents a private individual from sharing live video (that they are legally recording) with the police, so unless this law compels that sharing, the quoted portion would be legally superfluous.
My YouTube usage is about 7 hrs per day for the last four or five years and I don’t think I have ever clicked on an original, and it was always in my feed.

Definitely always seemed like a bad fit. But I think the idea of crowdsourcing content like tictok or youtube which is those platforms, doesn’t work for longer form, episodic shows or movies. You get established stars.

There’s no real finite limit on the amount of tictoks can be created people will like but is a finite amount on the talent available to make a watchable movie or show.

That's interesting and it's something of which I was unaware. I'l check it out when I've a moment.

Again, it highlights the very 'fragility' and sensitivity of any such discussions, and that we've still no idea of whether
humans have this inbuilt tendency or not leaves us with big problems. The fact that the very mention of the word 'race' in many quarters will bring wrath down upon one is, in my opinion, unhealthy for society but that's the world that we live in (and clearly it makes life difficult for researchers).

The fact that raceism is still so widespread and pervasive I've a sneaking suspicion that humans may have some inbuilt tendency. My worry is if this turns out to be so then I think that all hell will break loose. I don't reckon the world is ready for such discussion.

Edit: I wonder if others share the same suspicions as me and it's the fear of the fact being verified beyond reasonable doubt that's the underlying reason for why discussions about race have become such a taboo.
Very trivial to include a bill of materials and/or a link to the schematic on most PCB's I do it with all my industrial designs but it doesnt necessarily help if 99% of the logic is in the microcontroller flash unless you also publish documented source code. Once you've done that it is game over as a business as it will be copied mercilessly unless you have some sort of "platform as a service" or ability to exclude copies.
For someone living in Europe, you see Greek roots everywhere but Chinese roots nowhere, so I'm not sure that anyone is "conveniently ignoring" anything, rather than simply teaching or learning local history.
It is odd that there was an eviction moratorium but not a tax moratorium.
> If eviction rates are “approaching pre-pandemic levels” then isn’t the real shocking headline that eviction rates are lower than before the pandemic despite the eviction moratorium? What am I missing?

Home is the only shelter many people have from contracting COVID. Evicting people into situations such as homelessness and overcrowding, where infection is more rampant, is a great way to spike infection rates potentially more than both temporary shelter/housing systems as well as healthcare systems are prepared to handle.

That's the concern with restoring evictions to pre-pandemic norms. There's not enough capacity in a reduced-crowding scenario such as the one we're currently in.
I have worked at FAANG, since the beginning of my career, and it have paid dividends(I have been very lucky). 5 years ago I would say you are crazy, and FAANG is the way to go, etc... Today , I couldn't agree more with you, everyone have their own needs and dreams, some people want to be a VP at FAANG, others love the startups "work hard - play hard" culture, other people prefer to bootstrap their own business, and so on... I have learned that to be happy as an SDE you just need to know what you really wants and ignore the hype, and focus on growing. There is plenty SDEs can do to make money, you can have a regular job, and have side hustles to make even more, for example.
This leaves me wishing there was some kind of report-only tooling where you could do something like, say, freeze the system calls used in a test run to reduce trial-and-error, similar to how you can use SELinux with audit2allow to get a decent starting point. Does anything like that already exist?
I don't think the imprint is really hindering.

Not using SASS services (e.g. Firebase) just really sucks though.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy the site.
I recently bought some modern night vision - a PVS-14 with a 3rd gen tube - and was astounded by how much more of the night sky I could see.

There are a lot more planes flying around than you might think, that you can't easily see with the naked eye at night. There are also a lot more satellites.

It's already the case where it's likely that there are more Starlink satellites visible at any given time than satellites for many people, and SpaceX is nowhere near done launching them. I'm sure they won't remain the only such service, either.

I 100% support what SpaceX is doing here, but it's not really a fair comparison to directly compare air traffic with orbital traffic. For one thing, a much smaller proportion of air traffic is visible from a given location at a given time. For another, air traffic can be avoided if you are observing from somewhere not in a major air traffic corridor; Starlink satellites are effectively everywhere.

> If you value your time at $100/hour and you have to spend one hour a month maintaining something "free," that free thing costs $100/month. That's fairly expensive.

This is quite true, but the counterpoint is that nerds enjoy spending that time. We like opening the box, poking at the wires, seeing how the cogs fit together, and tweaking things endlessly. It would be a liability for a normie, but for a nerd whose interest is piqued it's a fun Saturday project. This is why FOSS survives despite the UI/UX problems.
Bitwarden has all those features you listed. I use it every day.

You can setup a trusted family member. You get a master password and private key incase you can't access 2fa. You can setup autofill entries. UI/UX are opinions.

You pay $40 dollars a year for Family, $10 a year for an individual. Cheaper than 1password.
I disagree with your categorization that 20-80% of users who experience motion sickness are not normal. In fact, it would appear that people that actually like VR are in the abnormal category.

Now we gotta take anti nausea drugs just to play games? Is that reasonable? I don’t think so.
You are missing that the pandemic is very much ongoing, despite the government pretending the opposite. At my institution, the semester is starting. We are serving the lower income bracket (read nursing school). Enrollment is down 20 %. This is going to have long-term consequences.
Thanks, that's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Very interesting. Are these commonly used in Scala code? It seems that they do away with some of the boilerplate code (in the constructor) and provides some rather nice features. I guess the inventors of Scala has been thinking along similar lines as me ;-)
> It screams CORPORATE.

How do you have a universal login that doesn't require corporate onboarding? You're just not the person this landing page is positioned for. They need corporate buy-in so you the user can login with one login across all of those sites. If you the single user want to easily login to Netflix and Amazon with a click of the button, then how do you expect 1P or any org for that matter to offer that if they don't have a direct relationship with Netflix or Amazon?

This is like using Google.com to search for things to find and screaming "Google is too corporate" when you landed on the Google AdWords landing page (ads.google.com).
Tangential and honest question: how do eviction moratoriums help? I can see how a short ban on evictions can help prevent a spike in a homelessness crisis, but long term I really struggle with it. Is the assumption that all/most landlords have infinite money to support non-payers? Are governments subsidizing 100% of the missed rent?
