Our city collects organic matter to compost. I have a garden and I don't compost myself because 1) I wouldn't want to compost things that would attract animals, and 2) composting takes up space, and takes forever.

It's really not that hard to fill up the compost bin and then put it out with the trash and recycling every week. Municipal composting is great IMO.
That's easy to solve - use Hydrogen trucks or EV trucks for the heavy duty load. Not yet in the commercial market - coming in quickly.

It should be noted that American companies that fall under laws like the CLOUD act can't fix their noncompliance with contracts. American law always overrules contracts for American businesses. Storing data on AWS is risky, and it's only a matter of time before some judge will rule it completely illegal.
It’s not “still just a way” to keep it off the books - that’s just a convenient side effect for the company. The overall effect was that more people took more vacation at our company, which was overall a good thing.

> Simple: The efficiency of the C4 carbon fixation would be of little benefit to the plant itself. Evolution optimizes for the benefit of the gene-bearer.

I don't know if this is a good example, but suppose for argument's sake that flocking behavior in migratory birds contributed to the likelihood of gene propagation. Off-the-reservation individuals wouldn't benefit from this cooperation and would therefore be unlikely to enjoy having their genes propagated.

Could we posit / test for a similar selection effect in trees or other plants, in which the benefit to the individual is accrued through behaviors of the group? My first attempt at thinking about this was to consider whether trees that promote more stable weather patterns might have an easier time reproducing, but I think it's harder than this because the benefits obviously benefit other species that don't have the same kind of behaviors. All things being equal, this tends to status quo, not out-competing your neighbors.
I would forgive the list of bad takes if the OP's suggestions on "how to fix Reddit" were actually useful in fixing the problems he's claiming exist. Instead, all his suggestions do is add barriers to common functions that do nothing to actually change the quality of discourse but just make it more difficult for people to interact. The other suggestions (that are basically just "HN does this so I like it") may work to limit bot usage or downvoting through alt accounts but they do nothing to fix the ultimate problem that he's describing which is that any platform where quality is distilled to a thumbs up or thumbs down will, by nature, get polarized as people choose a side. If you want nuance, you need to rely on moderation and Reddit, unfortunately, is astro-turfed by power mods who run all the big subs.

If he wants nuance again, he needs to visit more nuanced sub-reddits that aren't approaching terminal velocity. This happens every time a social media platform/news aggregator gets popular. Look at the history of Digg, /., and even HN itself to see why and how they get overtaken. If your userbase grows exponentially and your moderation doesn't, you're going to end up in the same place as teenagers and know-it-alls take over just by sheer volume.

Yep - you can absolutely rule with medieval institutions, abuse your citizens as you see fit, and even bomb your neighbours at will, but God forbid that you take a bit of money from US companies - then the gloves are off for good!
"To ensure this carbon is stored for longer, we are also developing a trait to naturally slow decay by increasing metal accumulation in plants. Our trees accumulate metals from the soil, making their wood less digestible to fungi and slowing the return of CO2 to the atmosphere."

I really really like what you are doing here, but I have concerns about heavy metal accumulation in wood. I understand that you're talking about growing on old mining land, but what are the health implications of milling this wood? Accumulation of logs in a river after a flood? Beavers?

I want to emphasize I'm a fan of this kind of work, and LOVE the idea of faster growing, more durable wood. I think wood is a phenomenal building material as it is, and especially if it's storing even more carbon.

You seem to be uninformed about basically the entire problem area. There is a large industry of human trafikking.

Spesifically in UK there was a scandal with local police basically ignoring the issue.

The girls are seen as illegal immigrants first, and any kind of victim second. Then there is the risk of blackmail, as in, if the girl's concervative family find out that she has been a sex slave, she would be disowned.

If none of the above issues apply, it is also important how the girls think the police will react, rather than how they will actually react.

And lastly, without your passport you are mostly stuck in an unfamiliar country, don't speak the language and probably you have no money either.

it is basically slavery.
If the point is to take a country, competent armies minimise damage. Otherwise at the end you’re just king of the ruins and have trouble extracting all the resources you came for.

Mass bombings is almost the bluntest last-resort weapon you can use. A bloodless coup followed by a (probably quite bloody) purge would have been the best outcome for the Russians.

I integrated Ace in a couple of projects for already 10 years ago and the experience was incredible smooth to use and upgrade versions.

One of them the uses was for the Remote Editor of my programming environment for Android, PHONK https://github.com/victordiaz/PHONK (is unmantained nowadays because of lack of time).

What I loved the most was the API to tweak the editor the way you want. Ace come with a demo where you can tweak all parameters easily.
The only bug I encountered back in the day was some scrolling issues with ipads but probably is solved already.

I tried also CodeMirror and Monaco but somehow went back to Ace because of its simple setup.

I think it's great reading for anyone who believes homelessness is an issue that can be solved by throwing free housing at people.

Here's an excerpt -

>Andre said he has struggled with homelessness on and off since he was 14. That’s when he started selling at 3rd and Pine. He’s been there almost everyday since. He’s 30 now.

“You get caught up,” Andre said when I asked him why he’s spent half his life on this corner. “You make your first sale, you get a little money. Then you’re 30 and you’re still at 3rd and Pine.”

>Andre lives in an apartment thanks to a city-run housing program, but he doesn’t have a job other than selling flipped merchandise. Over the last two years, the government has forked over financial relief to taxpayers with formal jobs, but people like Andre, who work informal jobs, have not seen such benefits.

By "informal jobs", they actually mean selling stolen merchandise.

>I asked Andre what the city could do to get people to stop selling at 3rd and Pine. He said the city could give them something else to do: “Maybe build a basketball court? Somewhere to shoot hoops?”

The logic being presented here is that because the government has only given them free housing and not a free place to play basketball, it's reasonable to expect that they'll fill their days selling stolen goods. By building somewhere to shoot hoops, the problem could be solved.

This is a city where nearly any deli or corner-store has a We're Hiring sign and will gladly pay people under the table. Homelessness is a social phenomenon, not an economic wart caused by expensive housing.
I don’t think it’s necessarily true for B2C. It just depends on who your target audience is. It’s pretty normal for a game, shopping app, etc. to start on iOS and make its way over to Android months later.

The only place where you need more completeness is if you’re building a social app, in my experience. People want to be able to respond to messages everywhere.
Global chip manufacturing isn’t a a single product. Most of the headlines focus on the automakers because they slashed orders at the start of the pandemic, disrupting all of their vendors, and then twisted arms to get capacity back when they saw business didn’t evaporate. If you were competing with that, it sounds like you have had a miserable time.

If you’re not, however, things haven’t been so bad - Apple, AMD, Intel, etc. haven’t had the equivalent of those Teslas shipping with missing parts. There has been the pox of cryptocurrency’s ever higher demands for waste affecting GPU buyers but that looks like it’s far more an issue of demand than supply.

I also did not get this from the OP article. I would say he could have articulated things better.

It is imperative to note that what constitutes minimum and viable had generally changed since 2010.

We should also keep in mind that those terms are relative terms, depending on the domain.

For me, I think one should know a lot or experienced personally the problem(domain expertise) and be open to the form of the solution(the product). For practical reasons, if nothing else, learning any sufficiently complex domain while trying to build a business is expensive.

The definition of PII can be a bit grey, some have deemed that IP addresses of the service provider, although not identifiable to a specific customer, can also be seen as PII as they can all people to be identified within a small group of users (where the IP does not resolve to a specific user). Even companies within the EU are being told that they need to be cautious how and when they collect data, and how it needs to be stored in a secure way.

That's a good example of something the article mentioned, which is that people from different disciplines (and, I'll add, people in different job roles) use the same terms differently.

To a software developer, "requirement" has a special meaning. It describes how the software will behave. To most other people, "requirement" is just a regular word with its everyday meaning. It describes something that can't not happen. That something can be anything, not necessarily limited to software features.

(They probably should be able to figure out from context what a software developer is really asking for, though. And one of these things is not like the others.)
When I say "freedom" I'm really referring to the most literal sense of the word: lack of restrictions! Not other philosophical meanings(like being provided with the means to do one thing or another)

We can all agree that we need A FEW, strictly NECESSARY restrictions, in order to reduce OBJECTIVE HARM being caused to us. The so-called malum in se deeds, like murder, theft, fraud, physical harm and so on. If we count all these deeds, they're no more than ONE HUNDRED!

The biggest PROBLEM we're facing today in the developed world is the fact that the legislatures and the governments GO FAR BEYOND what's strictly necessary for a functioning society in terms of criminalization and other restrictions! In the US there are somewhere between 25k and 300k criminal laws and statues or civil legislation that can turn into criminal legislation under certain circumstances.

Incarceration is a super-big problem in America, but it's far from being the only one: any conviction even without incarceration, any other kind of judicial restriction, or even mere arrests - all of these infringe on all kinds of liberties and rights, often lead to discrimination and can easily lead to actual incarceration in a variety of totally harmless situations.

Then there's ever increasing surveillance, more and more use of cctvs, more and more collection of data, the governments and certain companies get to know far too much about ordinary citizens - this can and does lead to a lot of harm!

Those in the repressive state institutions like the police, prosecutors, judges, intelligence services, the military - get more and more power and are less and less accountable for their (mis)deeds!

All these things do happen all so called "democratic" countries!
Except notably sum types and pattern matching are language features that are not assoicated with Java at all. They are more closely assoicated with ML and functional programming languages, and not with Java.

Java only got something approaching sum types in Java 17 with sealed classes, which came out in 2021.

Standard ML has had this feature since the 1980s!

You might want to consider that there are type system linages that exist that are quite different to the one presented by Java.
As an outsider to web development, @when would be a weird choice. If CSS wants to enable 3rd party tooling to take some of the syntax space, then it should declare some parts of the syntax never to be taken by core CSS (if it's not already done this way). Then this syntax clash would never be a problem between a 3rd party tool like sass and CSS.

In this case I think it's on sass to introduce the awkward workaround on the syntax clash.
On slide 9, the author mentions that SaaS valuation multiples "have proven to be somewhat inversely correlated with rates."

That makes sense to me: The net present value or NPV of every dollar of earnings in the future is worth less when interest rates rise.

The natural question to ask is: How much can interest rates rise, e.g., in the US?

To answer that question, we should start by asking an easier question: How much have interest rates risen in the past during periods of high inflation -- say, from the mid 1970's to the early 1980's in the US?

According to the Federal Reserve's FRED database, 10-year and 30-year US treasury rates peaked at a mind-boggling ~16%, or ~8x greater than today's 10-year and 30-year treasury rates. Take a look for yourself:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=MTuo

If long-term treasury rates rise to a seemingly ridiculous 8x current levels, tech valuation multiples could come down by as much as 80% or 90%, because most of the profits of tech companies are generally expected to be earned in the very distant future. If long-term treasury rates to "more historically typical level" of say, 4%, or 2x today's levels, tech valuation multiples could come down by as much as half.

Caller ID is for "presentation" only, not billing. Anyone with the appropriate access can set their caller ID to whatever they want. Some VOIP providers don't do any validation that you "own" the number you are providing. Years ago, when I had an Asterisk PBX set up using a super cheap SIP provider, you could put anything you wanted in for a caller ID.

There are legitimate use cases for this. Imagine if you are a company with 1000's of physical locations. You want them all calls to appear that they are coming from the corporate headquarters.

Headline is a bit misleading, as this isn't all of Seattle and just one specific location. That location has been one of the worst spots in Seattle for as far back as I can remember, so it was always a bit odd they had an office there.

Still I'm sure Amazon will take any excuse it can get to reduce headcount in Seattle given the city council's feelings towards them. They've been shifting to Bellevue for a few years now, and most hiring in Seattle proper has slowed or stopped due to headcount caps.

I agree with that sentiment, but I think you can have your own space and the conveniences of the suburbs and also live in a suburb where you don't need your car for every trip.

Regarding yards and noise: you can have a yard and a garage and a separated house without having winding suburban sub-developments that chop off walking access to businesses and attractions. In my opinion, the best kind of suburban neighborhoods are connected to the normal street grid. Instead of depending on the elimination of thru traffic to keep the street quiet, the street design itself calms traffic (relatively narrow streets, frequent stop signs, and street-parked cars naturally slow traffic to around 25mph).

A great example is Lakewood, Ohio. It's an inner-ring suburb with a diverse set of income levels where most kids walk or bike to school [1]. You can take a Bus Rapid Transit service or train to downtown.

Families that live there generally own two cars and a detached home just like the deeply car-dependent suburbs, and they'd probably drive to the grocery store and often drive to work, but people there don't need to use their car for every single activity like going out to restaurants, bars, parks, school, etc.

There are also a number of apartment complexes, duplexes, and quad-plexes that provide a diverse housing stock, so it's not just a single family home suburb (enforced by restrictive zoning) where a specific type of homeowner is catered to.

A prevailing flow of traffic moving at 80 mph in the San Diego metro is common in the faster lanes of some highways. But triple digits, like you report in Texas, that I haven't seen.

There are surely a few drivers zipping around at 90-100+, but they're the dangerous ones who are going outside the prevailing flow of traffic. I suspect that the cops make a priority of pulling over such drivers, although I can only speculate about the likelihood of getting busted.
Safer for whom? A part of the security logic of neoliberal globalization, whatever it’s other flaws, is to force strategic interdependence between states specifically to make conflict an absolute last resort. Like I want Chinese dependence on foreign markets and I want EU dependence on Russian oil, because as soon as that economic codependency dries up, military intervention is now feasible as a response to crisis. The reason we’re not in a world war right now is because Europe must tread carefully and so must anyone who might align themselves with Russia for reasons that have nothing to do with the possibility of military force, which we all know is subject to uncertainty and an attractive prospect for leaders who like to gamble.
