"It incorporates elements of Shoup's Georgist philosophy."

Funny that, some years back I was a member of the local Georgist group (I've even some old newsletters to prove the point—again, it's a same I can't post some front cover images here for you to see). Yes, I understand the argument well.

Again, these matters are never as simple as they first appear. For starters, these plans rarely take into account the different abilities of different citizens to physically access shops and or their actual needs when they do (how often are the forced to go shopping, etc. — say versus window shopping just for an outing).

For example, would the elderly or infirm have privilege or advantage? Would you penalize or add an extra 'flag-fall' to the parking charges of someone who usually does online shopping and has all the facilities to do so—because they could have saved the shopping trip by shopping online? Now take the case of someone who cannot do online shopping (there are many people who cannot for many reasons)—should they be subject to the same parking penalty by default? And if a differential rate were applied to advantage them then how would you police it to stop abuse?

Where I live none of these issues has been thought about let alone implemented.
> I do not think that companies deserve to be screwed by all this turnover. While I am confident I can do fine in my new role, I have a nagging disappointment about contributing to this current trend.

How are companies being screwed? By one half of an at-will relationship exercising their will? Do you have as much sympathy when companies cut employees loose, often with too little notice? All in all, your concern sounds naive.

If you've contributed to anything it's waking up companies with lazy leadership, mediocre managers, and culture-less culture. These place are real.

And I myself am proud for having pushed myself away from the table and stated, "Not for me. No thanks. I'm leaving. There's no sustainable future here."
Perhaps a good dependency process would be an interesting research. Knowing what parts change when changing a small bit it’s actually very difficult to know, and it seems like a common problem that could improve things in many areas (for example, compilation, but also knowing what tests to run if some piece of the code changes, for example)
When I'm having problems with software I'm typically not in a whimsical mood. Most software I use are tools meant to help me do my job. A cutesy / playful error message coming from a misbehaving tool generates nothing but rage for me.

Cute, condescending error messages are unprofessional and unhelpful. If fewer programs were steaming piles of garbage I might feel differently about it.
> It's been my anecdotal experience that hot areas in other cities like New York and Chicago are not dead like SF and the East Bay are.

The Bay Area experienced a massive internal-to-California (largely
to the Sacramento area) outmigration during the pandemic, which removed a lot of support for businesses from locals, and tourism hasn't recovered from the pandemic and related restrictions.

This has been (on paper) great for me as a Sac area homeowner, but more to the point here it makes judging California economic health by looking at Bay Area brick-and-mortar business district vitality potentially very misleading.

> In any case, it was certainly a lot worse than a few years ago when it would be more like 95% tourists.

Federal COVID-related domestic air travel restrictions (other than masking, which continues) only just ended, and federal international air travel restrictions still exist. This impacts tourism, obviously.
Don't read what is not there. I did not say that all regulations are bad.

With that in mind, please tell me which part of "haven't we learned already that any government regulation always ends up favoring the status quo?" or "regulations only get to be enacted when they don't threaten the status quo" is goalpost-moving...

While you are at it, take your time to think about the question I asked you in the first response. What kind of policy do you believe could have any chance of being enacted and offer a serious change for Big Tech?
Google engineers can't even filter out GH or SO scraped sites like gitmemory, nor offer a way to let users block these sites. I'm not sure we should expect them to handle more advanced techniques like detecting word swaps any time soon.

> minimum road width is often tied to service vehicles (specifically fire and garbage trucks); these could be overcome with some thought.

We have fire and garbage trucks in Europe too and we manage to build small scale streets in the suburbs and rural areas without compromising on emergency services. The key difference is we plan these streets for the expected amount of traffic which will be a couple cars per hour at the top and have regular intersections with other streets where, should there be the rare case that a vehicle comes up towards you, there is enough place to act as a bypass. Americans seem to plan all streets as if they would be used at capacity 24/7.

Mobaxterm is great. However it's worth spending a little bit of time putting your hosts into ~/.ssh/config and using short hostname aliases to start your ssh sessions. I had switched to using mobaxterm as just a shell without saved sessions before I switched completely (back) to using Linux. With a properly set up ssh-agent and this config file you probably won't miss mobaxterm.

My college physics lab had a bunch of old slide rules and other small metal handheld instruments that all had “Made in West Germany” printed on them. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I like that this simulator has “Made in Germany” on it, but wish it had the “West” part for accuracy ;P

This is one of the best modules for PowerShell and has been included by default since v5.1. I love the tab completion support and syntax highlighting it offers interactively and has immensely improved the usability of PowerShell since it was introduced. The default key bindings and settings may not be what some different shell users like but it is quite versatile and can be configured to be more like other shells to suite your preferences which is nice.

I’ve yet to really try out the newly introduced predictive text settings [1] but it seems quite powerful from the demos I’ve seen.

22% of all trips is considered to be a lot of trips? What is the break down of the other 78%?

I can probably get close to 22% as long as Covid keeps my long distance trips suppressed. I thought when people were saying “I bike everywhere” they meant like 80% bike 20% walk or something.
Yep, Evoland too! Shiro Games was founded by the creator of Haxe (Nicolas Cannasse). Smart guy.
My take here (as a T.PgM) is that I really see my role as doing the opposite of what you describe. We really do try to think quite a bit about if a meeting is necessary, can it be moved to async communications (whitepaper, email, ticket, slack conversation, etc.), and most certainly who are the minimum possible amount of people needed to resolve a given issue.

And this is certainly not to be directly contrary to your post -- which does raise a great point. In fact, it is many peoples' (warranted) criticism of and aversion to pointless meetings that helps me and my colleagues keep minimizing communication and coordination overhead at top of mind.

And everyone's interests tend to dovetail in this regard when these things are done well anyway: folks spend their time in meetings sparingly and efficiently, which in turn speeds up and makes more efficient the project/launch/program/whatever.

The problem is obtaining solid data and not falling on cargo cult. If there’s a paper showing that static typing is safer, but is assuming A, B and C, it can be very easy to end up with a lot of people saying that only static typing should be used in every imaginable situation.

Applying the results of research on these kind of practices can be incredibly difficult. Engineering processes are not a hard science…

Changing supervisors without 1) losing your funding and/or 2) having to start over on your dissertation is extremely difficult at many universities.

As a result, academic supervisors wield excessive power over their graduate students.

Not sure how we're talking past each other re Taler. You answered the request for "great ideas" related to blockchain with a wikipedia article, which I pointed out is actually unrelated to blockchain tech. We followed with other technical properties, but I pointed out that the ones that might be unique to blockchain tech may not be so desirable. Maybe you're talking about something non-technical, but then I was not and am not following.

> This is immaterial in the context of the debate we’re having about anonymous or pseudonymous transactions being good for those that use them.

There are technologies that allow this without bringing a whole can of worms along, so it's hard to see the drawbacks of blockchain tech as a necessary evil.

> You can’t lay the costs of doing business at the feet of cryptocurrencies.

I can definitely point out where we stand in terms of trade-offs, and 10 years in, the burden is still on blockchain tech to prove it's a net benefit once its drawbacks have been considered.

The science payload that an aircraft can carry is much smaller compared to a rover. Also due mass restrictions (afaik) copters are solar-powered, while rovers can be rtg powered; this is pretty relevant for cave exploration as it would be pretty catastrophic for a copter to run out of power in a cave where as rover could at least hypothetically find its way back out.

IQ testing and "gifted" labelling is as toxic as any other. Look at how many prodigies say life was distorted.

Keep bright kids active, extended? Sure. But maintain links to your peer group.

The cohort of people in the beyond normal bucket is tiny. Building dreams by hothousing is intellectual child abuse in most cases.

My dad was super smart. He didn't push us. He said "regression tends to the mean" at the time, which I didn't understand but maybe now I do kinda. Aspire to be socially average but above normal productive, and maximise what you have judiciously

Here's an article with a picture if anyone wants to see what reaperducer is talking about [1].

On a much lighter note pill bottles aren't the only common container that has a mode of operation that most people have completely overlooked. The little paper ketchup cups common at many fast food places in the US have an operating mode that seems almost completely unknown. I've never seen any use it.

You see people having to work to hit the small cup when dipping their french fries, not realizing that the cup can be opened up make it easier to access the ketchup. Those sections on the side where the paper is folded back on itself can be unfolded to greatly increase the size of the cup.

The click and drag down feature results in a kind-of code reuse. It bypasses the need to consciously name things. Is this generalisable?

For small scale code, these concerns may be overkill.
I disagree that it looked like pets.com.

One key difference is pets.com is public and got money from common people.

Fast got money from highly sophisticated VCs. They all made calculated bet.

No VCs would tell you their deals have 100% success.

Employees that join are highly educated. They also know that it is a startup with high failure chance. Much higher than FAANG. Every educated person knows this.

And it is normal to be disappointed when a bet doesn't work out.

Our social indicators are bad. Since 1990, marriage rates have been cut in half, out of wedlock births have doubled among white Americans, the fertility rate has dropped well below replacement. Suicide rates have been increasing for 25 years. Life expectancy peaked in 2014 and dropped since then. Drug overdoses were under 10,000 in 1990 and just broke 100,000 last year. The economy continues to grow, but if you hadn’t noticed, that doesn’t seem to be making people happy. Young Americans have this profound pessimism—which is apparent from our increasingly bitter politics—that simply cannot be explained by the GDP numbers.
It seems in my experience smaller companies can avoid these issues. No chance of your team being shuffled around because there's just one team. Usually you will find some employees at smaller orgs have been there working with the boss, who is probably the sole founder/owner of this tiny shop, for like a decade or more, you watch peoples kids grow up and such, etc. Sometimes people leave just to become freelancers, but because of how tight the relationship is sometimes almost nothing changes day to day and they are still very involved with certain projects. I wouldn't feel that comfortable at a big org where labor is just a unit to be moved around either. You won't be maximizing your compensation working like this, but I find maybe the reduction in stress hormones might be its own sort of compensation. Find a family, basically.

Well, my morose nature is to be distressed by most situations :-)

But, I feel like it's typical for "average" parents to seek help for dealing with their gifted children. I've read a bit about that online. Haven't seen much about the opposite.

Imagine a parent who is proud of their child's precocity. What's the opposite of pride? Shame? Do I feel some shame? Maybe a smidge. Love is definitely the predominant feeling. Thank God.
For this case of lateral PNP transistors, the reason is as Ken has said.

Because both the emitter and the collector are on the surface, making them both circular ensures that the distance between them, which is the same as the width of the base, is constant.

The properties of the bipolar transistors vary very strongly with the width of the base. If the width is not constant, then the current becomes crowded in only a part of the base and many characteristics become worse.

Unlike in lateral transistors, in vertical transistors the width of the base is not determined by geometry, but by doping doses and diffusion times, so the form of the emitter is less important.

Nonetheless, in early planar transistors the emitter was also circular. The reason is that in bipolar transistors with very narrow bases, the resistance of the narrow base layer becomes large and in the center of the base under the emitter, the base-emitter voltage drops to a lower value than at the terminals of the transistor, which makes the central part of the emitter and base non-functional (i.e. only a very small fraction of the current passes through there).

So in vertical transistors, only the periphery of the emitter matters. When it is circular, the symmetry guarantees that the current is uniformly distributed on the periphery, for maximum current capability.

Unfortunately, increasing the density of current per peripheral length of the emitter over a threshold triggers a positive feedback that will destroy the transistor if the current is not limited externally. This is usually the main factor that determines the specification of a maximum current for a bipolar transistor. If the current is non-uniform over the periphery, the threshold will be reached at a much lower current than computed by multiplying the threshold density with emitter perimeter.

Because there is a limit for amperes per millimeter of emitter periphery, to increase the maximum current in a given area, the form of the emitter must be changed from a circle to a form with a longer perimeter, without increasing the occupied area.

Early power transistors had various fancy forms for the emitters, e.g. Christmas tree, snow flake and so on. However, it was quite difficult to ensure that the current is distributed uniformly on the periphery of such complex forms.

Later, after the photolithography had improved and smaller dimensions were no longer problem, instead of having an emitter with a complex sinuous boundary, 2 simpler solutions have been adopted to increase the perimeter of the emitter. Either the transistor had a large number of small emitters connected in parallel, or it had one large emitter, but with a large number of small holes in the emitter (mesh emitter).
That's absolutely fair. I really should have narrowed my (rhetorical) question to the group of students who will eventually "leave for better jobs" outside academia.
Is there any business you would frequent - a pub, restaurant, grocer, etc. - that’s within, say, a 10 minute walk of where you live? I grew up in a city, yet everything was more than a 10 minute walk from my home.

Have you visited a place where there were multiple stores within a 10 minute walk? Once I started living in places like that, my way of life changed in ways I never would have predicted.

Walking home from work meant I walked right by a grocery store, and I could grab something quick. Would I always? Nope. Did I sometimes still do big grocery store trips? Sure. And would I sometimes even bring my car if I had a bunch of stuff? Yes, because I lived up a tall hill.

The reason I mention this is that your well-established may simply change in unexpected ways that you never would have imagined.

Assuming he wants to redesign it within the same basic constraints as the existing design, I would think that the message should be "ham biscuits sold out" rather than "ham biscuits available". That is, alert customers when you're sold out rather than before. The green light seems easy to miss, because green doesn't demand your attention as much as red does. Plus, the green sign is an example of one of my favorite anti-patterns, the "everything's okay!!!" alarm. Tell me when things go wrong, not when everything is working as I already expect it to.
