You're in one of the worst ran cities in all of America.

I rant here often about how horrible LA is, wonder why they're so few new homes getting built in LA. Well now you know.

The cost to build anything is so astronomical. The only thing that gets builts are luxury apartments/condos are multi-million dollar McMansions.

To see an extreme example of this, just look at how much money was spent per each homeless shelter unit. Each of these units can only house one family or so, the city somehow spent $600,000 to $700,000 on each one. This source article uses a high estimate, some of these units are costing 800k.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/la-spending-837000...

I wish you the best of luck with finally getting your house built, but just factor in you're going to have to deal with these problems in every single aspect of living in Los Angeles.

I decided to leave, and in every aspect of my life I'm doing much better. I make more, my housing is cheaper, I don't need a car, and frankly everyone's nicer.

PS: If you want know WHY things are this bad, look at Prop 13. This allowed home owners to lock their taxes to when they purchased their homes. So say you currently own a house worth $800,000, you bought it 15 years ago when it was worth 200,000. You have no motivation to ever move, even if it would be better for you aside from the taxes.

So You end up with a very large contingent of homeowners who are going to be in their properties for their entire lives, and are extremely resistant to any change. NMBY level Max. Many people in LA don't want you to be able to build your house in any efficient manner, the easier it is to build a house. The cheaper houses are. If I'm a home owner, I don't want competition.
Hunter Biden’s lost laptop confirmed real by the New York Times this week. A video that was on it of him sitting nearly naked in a hotel room, smoking crack rocks, and telling a hooker how his last laptop was stolen by Russians and they were trying to blackmail him - completely skipped over.

When asked about the absolutely real laptop, she deflected to say it’s proven that Russians have been spreading misinformation.

The media double standard is infuriating.
Well there is only one species that was able to put lightning into a rock, make it smart and use that instead of shouting at each other - not to mention the use of language while doing so.

Animals are treated as automatons which is IMHO very wrong. But saying that there are no fundamental differences seems wrong too.
It seems like you’re referring to the origins of the conflict and not what’s happening on the ground right now.

It also seems like you’re not sure who’s to blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Is that the case?

I'm not sure it's coordinated fuzzing at the social level.

What would that look like? People on opposite sides making opposing claims?

What about meta-commentary that both sides have equally compelling arguments and that it’s impossible to know which side is right?
Because government abuses its power, and the US still as a bit of anti-totalitarian DNA.

What’s missing from all these speculations about the best way to hire is any tracking of the applicants performance after the hire. If you showed me data that said that the highest percentage of candidates that do well at the company all did well on their algorithm interview vs any other screening technique then I would be more convinced. Google claims this is the case and the industry seems to have just followed suit without questioning it. I personally think the best way is probably a short simple fizzbuzz type problem to screen out people who simply can’t code at all then a take-home or in-house coding assignment with a discussion after or (or during if in-house). If the claim that avoiding a bad hire is far better than rejecting a good candidate is to be believed then it behooves the hirer to get as much signal around something that closely resembles the actual works as possible and actually discussing the code at hand would probably eliminate most problems around cheating.
Oh man, the eDRAM on X360 makes so much more sense now. I always wondered why that was the case but I wasn't as close to the graphics side of things when I was working in gamedev.

GPUs are always something where people have... strong opinions about. That said having spent a bunch of time with the Adrenos they were pretty solid embedded GPUs and watching the generational leaps from 100/200/300/400 was a ton of fun. The GPU group over there at QC had some sharp people and were always great to work with(at least from my exposure).
If you want a real kick in the gut… watch the videos and read the texts from Hunter Biden’s laptop. And know that it came out weeks before the election and literally everyone except the NY Post covered it up (and were censored for it).

I’ve seen more of Hunter Biden than I have ever wanted to see of any man.
Even if you sued successfully for that it wouldn’t matter. Their goal was to stop your recording whatever worse thing they were presumably doing which can never be undone.
The whole article is quite weird. It's almost as if he hasn't heard of the MSCI world or factor investing. The latter beats conventional market cap index strategies at the expense of having long bad streaks/droughts followed by a few years of good performance. Yes, that means increased risk but you also see higher returns. The MSCI World Value Index beats the MSCI World Index.

The reason why factor indices see droughts is that most of them don't do momentum trading, i.e. they don't surf/coast on the bubble which means they lose out over the short term. For most people, there is no reason to bother with factor investing if they are happy with the risk/reward profile of their existing portfolio.
I suspect that’s about to jump up.
Just on point 1, maybe in the context of said FAANG data quality was by choice if at all. In other industries, e.g. Finance, it can be regulated and audited, so operational teams care in terms of not being able to continue operations. That addresses point 2 partially, it is a complex topic, though.
One frosty, completely still morning in Brooklyn, a white panel truck had been idling on our corner for 20 minutes.

We don't need the hyper-successful, certainly not the way you're defining them.

In a society of 350 millions people that is vaguely capitalistic, there will always be people who "win big". The "high end" people are just the living manifestation of serendipidity. If it wasn't Bezos, it would have been someone else.

Also, "the high-end people create the new companies" is almost complete BS. The mythology of the exceptional individual that dominates the USA promotes this story, but the reality is that successful companies are the result of the collaborative, cooperative efforts of many different people (many of them not "high-end"). A company like Amazon was created by a constellation of people with very different backgrounds, socio-economic status and intent.
"Early years of founding a business" is not a substitantial part of the population.
Truth is just that which corresponds to or is a reflection of reality. Anyone who thinks otherwise is thinking too hard.

The true nature of reality might be unknowable, but science is a means to move towards it.
In Russian cosmonauts: suits are not inspired by Ukrainian flag, the AP reported that the colors were chosen six months ago.

> Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev said each crew picks the color of the flight suits about six months before launch because they need to be individually sewn. And since all three of them were graduates of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, they chose the colors of their prestigious alma mater.

Perhaps one could conclude that the violence by police is not based on race. Perhaps BLM is cherry-picking incidents for another cause, not related to police violence.

Thr meter maids in NYC were brought under the NYPD because they used to be routinely beaten up when they were a civilian agency issuing people tickets. Now I don't condone violence, but this just sounds really risky. A lot of these drivers may be forced to eat some or all of the fine, and when they see some average joe shmo playing tattletale on them, I'd expect an uncomfortably large number of them to get physical. I do not think it's wise of NYC gov. to promote this sort of thing.

It’s def a good positive reinforcement to give people a good feeling that they know their own neighborhood.

Having the next 1.5 neighborhood is also valuable: if you live so close, it’s not a stretch to go learn the neighboring neighborhood (in fact, why not!?).

Data mesh is not a complete framework, more sociopolitical rather than technical at the moment. When tested in practice, I think you already allured to a key technical component that will need to be more central, I.e. reconciliation. What that means in terms of domain ownership of reconciliation that is an open question.
Smaller players may sell their assets to supplement their income or must pick one specific asset class (often a house) because they don't have enough money to diversify.

As a Brit this is thoroughly depressing but not surprising in the slightest. The political figures leading the UK (mostly England) are some of the most shameful and openly corrupt figures in any “democracy”.
It's an interesting parallel. I discovered how insanely deep this fear run in me. A job is not just a job (for my reptilian brain anyway) it's:

1) a group i belong too

2) roof and food

Saying this because technically, I have a roof (parents house), I have money (unemployment benefits). But I don't feel secure at all. Whenever I got into a job, the anguish vanished (no matter how smart I tried to be, meditating over it, thinking abstractly about ill emotional reflexes, it stayed there). Whenever leaving a job (toxic workplace) was on the line I was gutted.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised that animals (mammals or else) can sense what behaviors get them to belong to a group and ensure a regular daily life of friendly people and nice meals.
Humanism might he the term that you are describing.

The idea that a deity is not needed to find meaning and derive morality.
And you shouldn’t. I love dogs, I hate people and their dogs, mostly. They treat dogs like funny looking needy people instead of respecting them for what they are, animals with animal thoughts, animal feelings, and animal behaviors.

>If you've got something, you have it. Sure, you could, logically, have got rid of it in the meantime -- but that's ridiculous pedantry; in the GP's context, it's the same question. All that was, though, a side note.

unsure how this little solipsism bolsters your argument or who you're trying to convince. I still contest that it is not the same question. "I do" can follow "do you have?", but not "have you got?". it's not being asked if you have, rather if you have got. of course you could have something without getting it, and other playground grammar, but that just detracts

>The actual question, OTOH, was which of the (implied) original questions "Did you get them?" or "Do you have them?" the reply "I do" was in answer to. And as an unambiguous matter of grammar, "I do" is correct in reply to the latter and nonsensical in rey to the former; there, the reply would have been "I did".

why bother mixing tenses and rephrasing? you're trying to complicate something simple so you can cleverly unravel it, which is just pointless. the point being: "I do" is an unacceptable response to "have you got them?", and if anything is implied it's "do have got" in the first answer, which again is the point of being nonsense

>So my answer was correct. And that should have been obvious to anyone who knows even the rudiments of English (wich may not include you).

of course it was, for you. obviously

>Here, BTW, have some capitals and a full stop: D, S, .

I made the decision to use those more sparingly when I became a scholar of latin - so that little dig came back to bite you and I relish in your embarrassment. since you muddied the waters, you can help yourself to some spelling corrections for 'rey' and 'wich', plus some extra acronyms and commas as you seem, amongst other things, full of them LMAO GTFO ,,,,,,,,
Agreed, per the HN guidelines: "... please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

That said I _was_ going to leave a comment to the effect of "Fox 10 Phoenix would've had a more accurate--less clickbait (much more verbose)--headline with "In a party-line vote, Arizona House Republicans pass ban on close-up video recording of police officers now on to to the senate."
The article mentions that reporters are required to do their own research to determine if a business is a repeat offender. I wonder if there's an opportunity for a service to act as a clearinghouse for these reports? :)
I know this is about commercial vehicles, but on a personal note I really wish noncommercial vehicles were far better in accessory mode. Specifically it is common that either the hot, cold, or both HVAC won't function while the engine is off and the vehicle in accessory mode often leaving people idling in high or low weather scenarios (or simply just melting ice on your windshields).

I feel like there's far too much focus spent on chastising the sinners and not nearly enough effect spent creating vehicles where the common sense action is not to need to idle. Even hybrids may run their gas engines purely for the HVAC, we have a Prius and depending on the temperate and fan speed, it can kick on the engine even with full hybrid battery.

Let me ask this: Where is the article or city report that talks to the commercial drivers and seeks insight into WHY they're idling? Unreasonable time constraints? Cabin temp? Company policies? Let's dig into that. This "burn the witch" stuff never works long term, and we have to seek to make non-idling the rational choice not the enforced one.

It minds me a lot of these "cut speeding initiatives." They work, while they're going on, but success has been seen longer term by just re-designing roads to communicate the safe speed (e.g. planting trees, pinchpoints, et al[0]).

I'm going to be honest, I'm a backend developer and I've never written a tree in production. I understand the structure, I've written them for practice, but for real world code it's just never come up.

It seems that for the overwhelming majority of developer roles these data structures are outsourced to a database, which is usually closer to the data than my service anyway.

It's not that this knowledge is irrelevant, but there are so many aspects of writing, and maintaining, business logic with a team of others that are skipped entirely.
Me too, 100%. I wish they’d introduce something like it here in Tokyo. The walk to my kid’s school every morning drives me crazy.

This isn’t going to change unless we set the right incentives. For the people in this thread worried about violence against the reporter, I think it much more likely that drivers will simply get the message and turn off their damn engines.
How are these complaints verified and how does the city know multiple complaints are not being made with the same video? Is the fine per occurrence? How are videos checked for evidence of editing?

It's not really about where, it's that they do it at all. Are you really going to spend 100 hours researching a company before you make a $1000 investment? If you are going to spend millions dollars on a single company long term you're going to spend hundreds of hours on research before you close the deal.
Do you not believe they don't turn off their engine, or think they should be entitled to keep it running?
Fear of racism is a bigger problem than racism itself. Most people don't care, but the fear of that minority that does causes all sorts of bureaucracy to fight it (which in turn needs to feed racism to justify its existence). Also fear of that minority is causing lots of people to not buy near the out races for fear of not being able to sell, thus driving prices down.
You can use seccomp for this, which might allow you to build something very safe. Pypy also has a similar mechanism built-in: https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/sandbox.html Or you can use virtual machines (you can build/find some that will boot in a few milliseconds)

edit: Your specific protection appears to be `__builtins__ = None` and otherwise run in the same interpreter. It is very naive. Here is an example hack that gets to your "secret data":

$ curl -H Content-Type:application/json -d '{"code": "res = [c for c in ().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if c.__name__ == \"catch_warnings\"][0]()._module.__builtins__[\"__import__\"](\"play\").data"}' https://api-run-code.herokuapp.com/execute
