We really should follow Japan on this:

(a) National zoning

(b) A culture that abhors second hand housing (so structures don't appreciate like land does). Housing that depreciates is no longer a sound investment.

(c) Liberal definition on minimal standard housing to rent (central heating not required, toilets can be shared, no personal shower or even a shower at all in the building you are renting a room in, small spaces are OK).

Maybe not this one:

(d) Not very open to immigration at all, have a decreasing population.

>You can't say "fiction" to anything just because you don't like it. There is always a another side, always, but you just say "fiction".

That is, of course, incorrect, but very telling. Willing victims of Russian propaganda use this line all the time. In fact, very often there is no other side, because facts exist.

>I'm looking forward to you showing where in Russia children were taught to kill Russians and yell "Москаляку на гиляку" (hang up the Russians)

You're (pretend-) surprised that a country suffering from an invasion teaches its children to hate and wish to harm the invaders? If you think that's bad, I got news for you, champ. It is now officially quite legal to put an invading moskalyaka onto that tree branch right now, or take them out in more modern ways. Ukrainians are allowed to fight against the occupying force using any means necessary, and they do. Not only is there nothing wrong with killing an invader who attacks your home and murders your neighbours, it is a noble and just thing to do.

>It is not so much the presence of nationalists that is important (as you said "This happens everywhere"), but the attitude of the country towards them (Nazis Germany doesn't happen everywhere).

Nazi Germany and Zigist Russia indeed doesn't happen everywhere, only in places where the ruling despot becomes a deluded fascist, drunk on his own power and trying to pass his own ignorant mis-understanding of history as reality.

This Johan Anderberg is a complete crank. He spent much of the pandemic with state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell and his predecessor Johan Giesecke, who gave him access so that he could write a book. It’s some kind of weird bromance between the three of them.

Fact is that Johan Giesecke was completely wrong about almost every epidemiologically important property of SARS-CoV-2. I documented his delusions here already in April 2020: http://www.openias.org/swedens-covid19-strategy

Glad to see that you've continued investing in this project! I paid for the Premium version back in the Projectifi times and would have loved a heads up by email that you made some significant updates.
Scaling databases vertically, like Oracle DB, in the past was the norm. It is possible to serve a large number of users, and data, from a single instance. There are some things worth considering though. First of all, no matter how reliable your database is, you will have to take it down eventually to do things like upgrades.

The other consideration that isn't initially obvious, is how you may hit an upper bound for resources in most modern environments. If your database is sitting on top of a virtual or containerized environment, your single instance database will be limited in resources (CPU/memory/network) to a single node of the cluster. You could also eventually hit the same problem on bare metal.

That said there are some very high density systems available. You may also not need the ability to scale as large as I am talking, or choose to shard and scale your database horizontally at later time.

If your project gets big enough you might also start wanting to replicate your data to localize it closer to the user. Another strategy might be to cache the data locally to the user.

There are positive and negatives with a single node or cluster. If retools database was clustered they would have been able to do a rolling upgrade though.

I don't have an answer, but I do have an anecdote.

some friends and I had been having spurious movie nights over the years, and decided to give Vampire's Kiss a go. we scoured the horror section of blockbuster and were unable to find it, so we asked. "oh, that's in the comedy section."

Buffeted by this knowledge, we told the movie night host that we found it, and were ready to go, and left it at that. Later, the host, perplexed, stopped the movie and said, "either this is the stupidest vampire movie I've ever seen, or it's supposed to be a comedy." once our laughter stopped, we explained, and continued the movie in peace.

so, I'm not sure I have a pitch, but drop all expectations and just enjoy a classic John Carpenter movie.

I can't think of a way that would "fix" this that wouldn't also make it less useful overall. If people are looking for people being shot by police officers, they probably already have those stereotypes and thus expectations of the end product. You can argue that you want to insert a certain morality set in the process, but that to me sounds a hell of a lot scarier than the scientist emptying the dishwasher being a women in 60% of the pictures. Once you have the mechanism for morality bias, you also have people with the capacity to change the settings.
The easiest way to solve that is by making housing a less attractive investment, which you can do by building a lot more of it.

Otherwise you're stuck crafting clever anti-investment legislation which may or may not work and may or may not create weird distortions due to some unforeseen consequence of how the regulations are worded.

I think the problem is that people want to buy 3 bedroom homes with a 3 stall garage on 2 acres of land. In my market, there are tons of affordable homes, but they aren't brand new, huge, with a ton of land. People are going to have to pay for that. It's a matter of keeping up with the Joneses from my perspective. People just don't want an average size home built in the 60s. They need a brand new 3k SQ ft home and bitch that's it's not affordable. They can't all be.

> The other 30 percent goes right to Brave's pockets. In other words, they directly profit off of showing you advertisements.

Correct. We are able to continue developing Brave with the remaining 30%. In this arrangement, the user chooses whether or not to opt-in, governs the degree to which they will participate, receives more than 2x what Brave gets, and never has their data harvested in the process. Win-win, no?

Regarding the Tom Scott topic, you're quite mistaken there as well. Please see this response (to another user in this thread) for context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31086397.

Brave offers auto-conversion of received BAT into various other types of assets and currencies. If you prefer Bitcoin, for example, you can choose to have your BAT automatically converted into that asset. No requirement to hold BAT.

Or maybe they simply choose to not spend those excess calories on philosophers and bureaucrats because doing so provided no immediate benefit? We have evidence showing that the rise of civilization and agriculture were a net negative for an average individual. It seems that at least in Egypt and Mesopotamia climate change, specifically an end of warmer and wetter climatic cycle, is what pushed people into fertile river valley. Most people would had probably preferred to remain hunter gatherers had that been possible or even independent farmers (which is what happened in the rest of the world.

The people in Mesopotamia (and in other similar areas which were slowly turning into a desert) didn't really have a choice. Building and maintaining irrigation systems takes a lot of people and coordination. Since most would probably prefer to be the ones handling 'coordination' aspect rather than digging trenches in the mud priests and philosopher classes had to appear to maintain social cohesion. It's much easier to convince peasants to give X% their harvest to the local strongman when they know that he's an divinely appointed king or maybe even a living god himself.
I was wondering it if would be possible to train a neural network to do multiple iterative steps at once. As it turns out, it has already been done and it requires about 4 to 8 distilled iterations for comparable quality. If this pace keeps up, we will probably see similar running time to GANs in the near future.

> There aren't enough homes _where people want to live_ and you solve that buy building more homes _where people want to live_.

You mean, if we had the density of Manhattan or Shanghai, our housing would be as cheap as Manhattan or Shanghai? I'm not sure people would like that (given that those places are more expensive in general). The best example in the states is Houston, but it is horrible sprawl (so housing isn't being built exactly where people want to live, but continues to build outward). Tokyo is the best example internationally, but they have special conditions (housing depreciates since second-hand houses are not popular, decreasing population, liberal definitions on what is needed to call something a home).
(I work at one of the listed companies, and these views are my own.)

Honestly, on-site just wouldn’t work well with the existing company culture at all. My current team has members in at least 7 countries in North America and Europe. Some teams are more time-zone collocated, but many are not. The culture is built so that async communication — and in particular, publicly searchable written communication — is the default for nearly everything. So having a big time zone split isn’t a problem when you’re used to communicating via long-form written communication.

Obviously, on-site is hugely different. If I went on-site, I would not be working with my specific team. I’m not even sure how the company could possibly reorganize to make that happen at all. It’s not like new hires in X geographic region are placed in Y division. So the best that could be done on-site is you get to make social connections. Can’t really have an on-site collaborative culture if none of your teammates live in the same city. And you can’t change that after the fact either, because people live in so many different places!

And as a side note, having frequently worked in OSS projects, communication and work is very distributed anyways. So it’s important to be habitually in tune with that style of communication and work to be effective in a large OSS project with maintainers spread the world.

So I would argue that even trying to have an on-site collaborative culture doesn’t make any sense if your company is truly globally distributed.
Even if it doesn't reduce latency, it could reduce bandwidth and load on other servers. (Or increase it, if it's used badly.)
The buyer doesn't pay the representative. The seller pays for both agents. Having a buyer represented is generally a good thing even if there are problems. It improves access to the market and helps a person in deciding what houses they can realistically get. A big thing for my wife was that she didn't want to see a house we couldn't afford because of how it would alter her expectations and we couldn't figure out on our own which houses were listing enough below ask that we didn't have a chance at them. Our agent helped us filter houses so that we looked at houses we could end up in.
Sushi (with fish) and sashimi are usually on the list of foods to avoid for high risk people along with raw meats, cold deli meats, runny or raw eggs, etc. Those are usually a little overcautious, but I think it's safe to say there's more risk with fish than with eating a raw vegetable.
The intended audience are people who haven't yet got into Emacs, and are therefore not familiar with Elisp, the packages and the options. Of course if you have a basic understanding of Emacs and an overview of the package space (and perhaps the time + motivation), you don't need anything like this.
Not all of these (like the packages) fall out of emacs' built-in customize. Though they aren't far (package-list-packages, find them). Also you need to know that these options are even there (customize-apropos is good, but it's not hard to get stuck finding the right keyword to get to the option or option group you want).
If you really need to evaluate it systematically, you can work out a risk-reward analysis. Basically, you make a little grid where the rows are labeled with your possible choices, and the columns are labeled with the possible outcomes. In each square, you give each choice/outcome combo a score, higher if you think it's a better result, lower if it's not as good, and negative if it's a bad result. You also include in that square a percentage (between 0 and 1) of what you estimate to be the likelihood of that outcome if you make that choice.

When you've got all the data filled in, go through and multiply every score by its corresponding likelihood. When you're done, the box with the highest resulting value is your best option.

So to use your first question as an example: "should I go and live in the USA or stay in India?" The rows would be labeled with "USA" and "India", the columns with (to be general) "I have a happy life" and "I am unhappy". You pick scores for "I move to the USA and am happy", "I move to the USA and am unhappy", "I stay in India and am happy", and "I stay in India and am unhappy". Pick scores that represent the relative goodness/badness of that outcome in your opinion. Then you estimate the chances of being happy or unhappy in the US and India and multiply the scores out. The highest score is what you should do.

This is, of course, assuming you need a systematic analysis of your decision; sometimes, you just have to go with your gut and accept the risks if it doesn't work out.
I would love to see how other companies do it. I understand the need for traceability but the implementation in my company is just terrible. We have super expensive systems that are very tedious to use. The processes are slow and clunky. There must be a better way.

> there may be unspoken requirements, or requirements that the people who want the work done don't know they have

That is just restating the problem that the "PO can't define the goals."

It's a bigger problem in the industry. Somehow, the Agile marketing campaign succeeded, and now everyone is Agile, regardless of whether the team is following one of the myriad paradigms.

I can rattle off dozens of orgs doing Scrum, but maybe 1 or 2 that actually are. Maybe doing two weeks of work and calling it a sprint, then doing another two weeks of work...and so on. No defined roles. It's just a badge word on the company's culture page.

The companies that are really doing something Agile are the consultancies that are selling an Agile process.
> > Key takeaways: 1. One of the best ways to improve your writing is to learn how to cut out words that are not necessary

I think it's funny the summarized version is that statement.
Because, in the presentation, they progressively cut down that exact statement to arrive at:

"To improve your writing, cut out unnecessary words."

> I believe you meant, "1. Cut out unnecessary words."

I think your version cuts out a little too much. It loses the why and becomes an unexplained imperative.
Your claim is very theoretical. In practice, everyone in the world has grown increasingly wealthy, and unemployment levels are lower than ever.

I do not see war crime denial in their post. More like war crime acknowledgement. I think that it is you who is undermining the struggles of people attacked by US interests.
They _ultimately_ didn't dump and restore, but it was the first thing they tried. It didn't work; it actually failed catastrophically for them. They describe this under the "Implementing logical replication" section. Their ultimate solution is what they tried after the dump-and-restore based DMS method failed and they took an unplanned outage due to yet more PostgreSQL-specific issues (unvacuumed tuples).

All of this is exactly what I'm talking about. This blog post describes kind of a nightmare process for something that is trivial in SQL Server. They actually needed a third party product from Citus just to successfully upgrade PostgreSQL! Stunning.

there isn't, but there is something wrong when you question the quality of a developer over it, while not understanding their constraints on knowledge, time, scope, and overall goals. It's just very presumptuous and I've never seen a justified case to shame someone as such.

Promote good practices, educate on bad ones. You can do this without such attitude as "git gud" which targets devs directly (which may not be something you said, but it is said often enough that I feel a need to address it).

One of the questions that I thought across would be "how would this impact schools?"

Would schools be going to a 4 day week?

Or would California be paying all its teachers an extra 8h of overtime each week? How would that impact school budgets financed by property taxes... oh... wait... California.

Or would instruction hours be reduced to 6h/day? But the total required days and instructional minutes remains the same ( https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/instructionaltimetable.asp ) which means that the school year would be longer no matter which way its done to avoid having teachers need to get more (not saying they shouldn't, but the way this is proposal is phrased, it appears that they would need to be).

How would this impact private schools?

As many families effectively use school as child supervision for the work week, how would any changes to the duration a child is supervised at school impact a family that doesn't have adults working on the same schedule as the school (e.g. school went to a 4 day week with Fridays off and parents work a 4 day week with Mondays off)?
> I wonder if being in the office is just simply more enjoyable for those with power and influence, while individual contributors (trying to get their work done) find they like it more at home?

Alternate take 1: If IC positions attract strongly introverted people, ICs as a cohort will naturally be less desirous of returning to the office than cohorts that require some ability to extrovert (such as management).

Alternate take 2: ICs are responsible for their tasks/goals. Managers are responsible for the tasks/goals of their managed individuals as well as the health of the team. People aren't machines. Managing people is not as simple as checking if they're completing sprints on time. Are they overworked? Underworked? Happy? Depressed? Engaged? Disinterested? These sorts of assessments are important yet can be hard to determine remotely.

If managing requires some amount of extroversion, and also the ability to not just measure that boxes have been checked but attest that boxes will continue to be checked in the future, it follows that managers likely are "more keen for a return to the office".
If they buy properties as an investment, why not rent them out? If you dont want the hassle, there are property management companies that will handle everything for you.
