Some manufacturers are worse than others, Vauxhalls and Fords I could often see the delay between the two rear lights coming on. When ever I've had passengers in the car, I've asked them if they can tell which brake light is coming on first most dont notice it until I point it out.

(USA perspective) I remember pagers were the hot thing in 1998, but as soon as 1999 happened, no one talked about them anymore, because of cell phones.
Well inflation itself makes up for $20K of that. And Boston is fast becoming the most expensive city in the country. Add on the fact that BU is a private college.

Tuition + housing at UMass is $30K/yr.

Not quite true. It would be truer if they have no debt.

But having a large debt, and negative equity, makes a family very vulnerable economically.

ESP32 is my 1 exception to my "No WiFi rule". Really I use that rule as a blanket statement since 99.9% of what people are talking about when they have a WiFi IoT device is crap. I don't personally have any ESP32 devices but I'm not opposed and at some point I want to play with them. I've heard very good things about them on the various subreddits and on the HA podcast.
> Why would inflation for the world match the US?

It's not, but the GDP figures I was looking up was in USD, so it should be factored in.

>but I think you're oversimplifying things.

Perhaps, but can you think of a plausible model for why our GDP would have dropped 67% in real terms, but somehow our living standards haven't dipped to that of a developing south american/african country? The only explanations I can come up with are:

1. the real GDP drop doesn't exist, or at least is vastly overstated

2. every other country (or at least the worldwide average) GDP dropped by approximately the same amount, so comparatively speaking we're still in the same place relative to other countries

True story:

A friend of mine got a letter from his neighbor's attorney bitching about his tree or something stupid. So he literally wiped his ass with it and then took a picture of it and emailed it back with the body of the email saying thanks, I was running out of TP.

can you add that feature ?
> Land value tax would prevent people from buying land without a plan to make it useful.

Ya: a land value tax is just a property tax that ignores improvements (charing based on what could be built rather than what is built). But it would totally destroy the low income housing market (since property owners of old run down low-end rentals would be seriously penalized for not building new luxury apartments).

personally I find 1x1s over Zoom extremely fatiguing. No app will ever help with that, ever. I'd even take an in-person 1x1 in a drab conference room over Zoom.
Because as I alluded to, that person would fall behind in terms of purchasing power. Allowing your money to erode away is not going to affect the greater good. The incentives (taxes) need to be changed.

Suggesting a change that you think is positive but not acting on it in the meantime is not virtue signaling.
Large solid state drives really changed the game; your working set doesn't have to fit in RAM for decent performance anymore.
I suppose that depends playing definition games with "all the time", but we are doing it right now in NYC with the coastal resiliency expansion. Battery Park city was created in the 70s from the excavation done to build the WTC. And right now there's a proposal to expand the southern tip of Manhattan to reach Governor's Island. Suffice to say that "all the time" is correct in this context.

My point is that compilation targets are somewhat arbitrary. Non-JavaScript languages have been compiling to JavaScript for a long time.

> Second, AMP is bad for security. By design, AMP confuses users about what site they’re interacting with. Users think they’re interacting with the publisher, when in actuality the user is still within Google’s control. User-respecting browsers defend the site as the security and privacy boundary on the web, and systems like AMP intentionally confuse this boundary.

They've actually been pushing to confuse that boundary even more since 2019, with their Signed Exchanges specification[0][1]. In essence, when you (unintentionally) visit an AMP page from Google Search, the URL typically starts with google.com/amp/websiteyouwantedtogoto.com. Signed Exchanges is essentially a way to drop the "google.com/amp/" bit, as demonstrated by one of the animations on [0].

> homogenous teams are less effective in some measurable ways

And more effective in other, measureable, ways. This is very much not settled science. There are many ways to measure effectiveness - idea diversity is only one of them.

Surely you would agree that hiring a white American as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant where only Mandarin is spoken by the kitchen staff (not uncommon) would hinder the effectiveness of the restaurant?

The fellow may bring a new perspective on how to run things, but if the owners are not interested in his perspective (which they are entitled not to be, right?), then all they're left with is the communication difficulties he would face performing his function.

> Plus our society is not homogenous, so from what mechanism does the homogeneity of the team emerge? Is it completely benign and spurious?

Generally the mechanism has been that many people actively seek to associate with people similar to themselves, people they can easily relate to. This generally includes hiring. I think it's perfectly benign and quite natural for people do cluster around cultural similarity. It's why we have things like Chinatown.

Most other behaviour, to me, seems to be in this category: people preferring the (professional) company of those they can relate to. If it's OK for a Chinese restaurant to only hire Chinese people, why is it wrong for an investment bank or programming firm to only hire people similar to the founders? It seems to be the same mechanism at play.
Nope, the cost is pretty much fixed. What we charge the users is just a hair above it so we have a hope of reaching sustainability at around 50,000 users. In other words there is nothing to optimize further.

And it is only about one cent to search the entire web in 300ms with everything else Kagi does, that has to be impressive ? :)

It's possible for an extension to intercept and block requests, but as Kevin mentions in your sibling comment, it's not enough because they could write data to local storage and then read it later when you're back online if you ever visited that domain again. An extension would have to cover a lot of bases to ensure that data couldn't leak, and I wouldn't trust one to cover them all.

I hear you on 'always' and say - while strenuously protesting that I am not a luddite - that many jobs required apprenticeship. Some in the US still do and in places like Japan its a requirement. In France you can still make a living as a butcher and if the Great Pottery Throwdown is to be believed you can be a successful scrub nurse or elder care manager in the UK and still own a home and have the wherewithal to be a fantastic potter, in a home pottery studio. (that last bit is tongue in cheek).

At first I thought that sum was for the entire cycle/duration, but even 51k per year was predatory, nevermind 80k like it is now. Multiplied by 4 (let's say), that's 320k, you add some other costs that I guess are not part of the tuition and I can see that easily getting to 400k, even half a million. Stuff like this will be the intellectual ruin of the US university system.

You have some very detailed reasons why Thucydides would side with the Athenians; I appreciate that.

> Finally, if you want to argue that he'd say the Athenian empire was dangerous, I'd need a good reason as to why. Consider how it came into being, as a result of the Persian war.

Thucydides himself would have been very close to the halls of power in the conflict against Persia, if sources are correct that he is related to Miltiades, the Athenian general whom was one of 10 strategoi at Marathon. (how he is related is uncertain; wikipedia seems to suggest his father Olorus also had a daughter (so Thucydides had a sister) who married Miltiades, making Miltiades his brother in law. But this is uncertain; it could very well be that Thucydides father and great grandfather, or uncle etc were named "Olorus". Nonetheless the sources about Thucydides being from a well to do family with interests in mines and being from Thrace are agreed upon)

Thucydides, like many of our learned in the past few thousand years, attempts to present himself as a "just the facts" narrator (a counterpoint to his crazy other, Herodotus, who unabashedly presents the will of the gods, oracular prophecies, dreams, etc all intertwined in a tale seemingly spun by your drunk grandfather). As to your question why he thought the Athenian empire was dangerous... Leo Strauss, who in City+Man noticed that Thucydides has a habit of detailing the aftermath of the Sicilian Expedition in terms of all the "natural destruction" (floods, earthquakes, famines etc) that befell Athens after the Expedition, thought that the timing was not incidental.

This just isn't true at all. After my second job I stopped even listing college on my resume and my first two jobs didn't care that I never graduated. I'm sure it depends on the industry but in tech the companies that are worth working for care about what you can do, not where you went to school or if you graduated.

Indeed it is more of an anti-education for many, who come in a lot smarter and capable than they leave. The grievance study disciplines provide next to no social benefit while poisoning the minds of the next generation with imagined sleights and resentment while saddling them with insurmountable debt. College attendance still helps with job prospects for a narrow set of fields, but any applicant with a degree conferred after 2016 or so should be held under a microscope as the radical beliefs they spent $60k studying are toxic to any organization.

That's interesting, because nowhere in Spotify's TOS are the words "theft" or "piracy" mentioned. And even if it was, I don't think basing morals or definitions of words on a single company's terms of service is a good idea. Sure, the TOS probably specifies somewhere that you're not allowed to rip music from their software, but whether doing so is theft has nothing to do with Spotify.

I remember friends squatting in foreign bought apartments in downtown Vancouver 15 or so years ago. Like, floors of luxury buildings empty because it was all a parking space for cash. I have no idea if this will have a significant effect, but, it was so bizarre for me (I'm originally from Detroit) to see these basically empty luxury buildings. It was such a topic when I started University in Vancouver, I can't count the number of times it came up. I personally think the city looks depressing, and Toronto isn't far behind. This is just a personal opinion based on my experiences, but it's so strange when a "dense" area is empty, it feels like a ghost town, like the amount of residential space in Vancouver and the way the streets felt was just so bizarre to me.
Liberalizing the housing market is a slow process that will be heavily contested politically and in courts, so it won't lead to an instant explosion of the housing market. The political will to continue liberalizing the housing market will evaporate as soon as housing prices become reasonable as a result of it.

You can pull capital out of it by making it expensive to leave a home empty. Then capital will go where they can get better returns. Bonus tax when the average occupancy of the property drops below a certain percentage, say.
That's one way of looking at it. Language can also be looked at as a communication protocol - a way of transferring thoughts and ideas from one mind to another.

With this perspective, it is extremely important for all users of the protocol to agree on the definitions of the primitives (words). If they don't, they're basically forking the protocol, forcing overhead to clarify terms on every interaction with people who speak a different version.

It's also not how all language works - French for instance has a prescriptive dictionary. Many useful languages do in fact.

Actually most functional safety projects use the v-model (or similar, topography can vary a little as to needs), which is waterfall laid out a slightly different way to more clearly show how verification and validation closes out all the way back to requirements with high degrees of traceabilty.

I've always wanted to break that approach for something a little more nimble, probably by use of tools - but I can't see agile working in functional safety without some very specific tools to assist, which I am yet to see formulated and developed for anything at scale. Also, there are key milestones where you really need to have everything resolved before you start next phase, so maybe sprints, dunno.

The thing about doing waterfall/v-model is if done correctly there is little chance you get to the final Pre-Start Safety Review/FSA 3, or whatever you do before introducing the hazard consequences to humans, and a flaw is discovered that kicks you back 6 or 12 months in the design/validation/verification process. This, while everyone else stands around and waits because they are ready and their bits are good to go, and now you are holding them all up. Not a happy day if that occurs.

FS relies on high degree of traceability and testing the software as it will be used (as best possible), in it's entirety.

So not sure how agile could work in this context, or at least past the initial hazard and risk/requirements definition life cycle phases.

FS is one of things where your progress that you can claim is really only as far as your last lagging item in the engineering sequence of events. The standard expects you to close out certain phases before moving onto subsequent ones. In practice it's a lot messier than that unless extreme discipline is maintained.

(To give an idea of how messy it can get in reality, and how you got to try and find ways to meet the traceability expectations, sometimes in retrospect - last FS project I was responsible for design we were 2.5 years in and still waiting for the owner to issue us their safety requirements. We had to run on a guess and progress speculatively. Luckily we were 95%+ correct with our guesses when reconciled against what finally arrived for requirements)

But, normally racing ahead on some items is a little pointless and likely counterproductive, unless just prototyping a proof of concept system/architecture, or similar activity. You just end up repeating work and then you also have extra historical info floating around and there's possibility that some thing that was almost right but no longer current gets sucked into play etc etc etc. Doc control and revision control is always critical.

Background: I am a TUV certified FS Eng, I have designed/delivered multiple safety systems, mainly to IEC 61511 (process) or IEC 62061 (machinery).

What I suspect happened is that the HackerRank test legitimately (fair use) included parts of the docs (the exercise could’ve been about the library those docs are for), DMCA enforcement has been outsourced to the lowest bidder and these idiots just did a blanket search for some phrases from the test, found the official docs and DMCA’d it.
Nah, this isn't a politics board, it's a nerd board: language like divining what's in peoples head from their "tells" is best left to boards focused on politics.

I'm uncomfortable continuing this discussion because you're not "coming with curiosity", as Dang says: instead, we've veered into mind-reading language.

Why were their quotes around those words, if not because I secretly decided to troll you? Your comment made me uncomfortable because it twisted the definition of censor, that's why quotes are around it: to give a polite signal that the meaning of the word isn't how you're using it. That's why I commented in the first place, and that's the last thought we'll exchange on this.
