Are you a housing planner? Do you have a degree in economics/market studies?

Also, building apartments has a huge environmental impact? Ok?.... So does rural sprawl? So does... everything? There is nothing inherently more damaging about those.

Beauty of a city? Cities are cities because of apartments. And you want.. fewer of them? Perhaps you would enjoy the suburbs more?
I still use a 2012 macbook pro that I've kept on mojave. 16gb of ram and an ssd (two internal sata 3.0 bays in fact when you remove the superdrive) means hardware updates aren't very compelling. the lack of 32 bit support and more security hoops i have to jump through with new versions means os updates aren't very compelling either. If there are beefy compute things to do its not going to be done locally for my work anyhow so I'm not feeling limited by the cpu or integrated graphics. Here I remain typing on this thing until the wheels fall off. I just replaced the battery too so I'm hoping for another 10 years. Love to see more software support for these old OSs. They still work and have users.
I forget, weren't there others that did the same? Were they also in that same boat (not enough funds on hand to cover trades)?
Heh if their TEUs are mostly laden they’re moving 300,000 tons inside LA every day, which is pretty close to a metric fuckton.
I think it would have been more enlightening if they'd separated out the question, to see how many people would be okay with sexual orientation being taught, but not gender identity. Or vice versa.

They're two very different, and somewhat conflicting, concepts. For example, is homosexuality an attraction between people of the same sex, or the same gender identity? This is a contentious issue even amongst adults, never mind teaching it to children.
A friend asked me offline to elaborate on my scenario, answering publicly.

We had a gap of about 12 capabilities in our environment. The capabilities were in the same family, but functionally different. To make matters more complicated, different teams/leaders only required 1-3 of the capabilities and did not know about or care about the others.

So senior leadership (about 4vp, and a dozen or so directors) saw this as 12 problems that can be solved with 12 solutions.

The problem is solving it as 12 solutions required 12x the engineering to implement, 12x to operate, and 12x user support -- actually I'm simplifying, it was worse in reality. The financial cost was also higher but more like 4x.

To be solved as a single solution required a far longer ramp up time to a functional solution, but would take significantly less engineering resources at every step. To boot, it would also scale far far better - requiring far less people to operate and scale.

So two problems needed to be overcome is convincing leadership that it was not merely a problem of solving their perceived problem of 1-3 capabilities, but 12, and that if we had to support all 12 capabilities we'd need a significantly larger team.

Adding to that was the upfront financial cost for a unified solution was more expensive than solving the perceived 1-3 capabilities any leader knew or cared about.

The solution was shot down 3 times with me being directly told "This is the wrong solution, please have someone else propose a better solution."

And to be very clear, this company actually had good leadership. But with such a large environment they all had their priorities and limited people/budgets to get them addressed with.

The problem was they needed to understand a problem existed outside of their domain, a domain they didn't see as as affecting them very much, so they didn't want to dedicate time to learn it.

The solution was to convince their trusted advisors. Principle and senior engineers, senior program managers, etc.

Politics suck, but they affect any organization with people. The more people you have, the more politics. The more people you affect, the more politics. If your company becomes successful, you will have to ultimately have increased politics. Period.
I can't imagine that to be the case, because this is English...there are numerous common words that are spelled exactly the same, but pronounced differently (read, wind, wound off the top of my head). The fact that they don't give them any special treatment(diatrics or something else) makes me think the legibility is not the concern.

Also, I might be wrong, but I don't think people read most words by scanning letter by letter and forming a belief as to what the word says. I personally have never misread cooperate as cooper, as far as I can recall.
Boilerplate, but yeah should they wish to do, well, literally anything and everything, then that EULA has them covered. And they know this of course.
You're assuming that the PR is valid, but a maintainer can't make that assumption. They have to do the thankless work to figure out the context and handle the fallout if they get it wrong. Let's look at who wins:

* Small benefit to bot creator
* Tiny benefit to project
* Modest cost to maintainer

Waves of low-effort resume-padding commits are already a thing. Not a big problem, but bots clearly have the potential to multiply the small problem into a big problem.

I'm still open to the idea that bots could be a net win, because most projects really do have heaps of small simple mistakes lying around. I'm sympathetic to the maintainers though. They always seem to get the short end of the stick.
>...and suggests that automating error finding is an appropriate course instead of making it less likely to make the error in the first place.

You can't fix the syntax and standard lib of the language. It is what it is. Similarly, how many bugs would you prevent if Python had compiler support to catch those types of syntax (and type) errors.
So what are your words for 'mail', and 'electronic'?
Shouldn't then 'e/mail', be literally translated to be the correct thing to send to somebody (in your language)?
Disney built a world class destination in the middle of, what is basically, a swamp. They built all the necessary infrastructure and paid for it by taxing themselves. In a lot of ways it put Orlando on the map and provided a huge boost to the surrounding economy.

I'm not sure who was getting screwed there? It honestly seems like it was a win/win situation.
They have two now apparently, one in California and one in Texas. But public information on these is sparse, I've not been able to find out much about them. This seems uncharacteristic for an Elon Musk company; Musk and SpaceX talk at length about their rockets for instance. There is a different level of public interest between rockets and boring, which might explain why there is more public information about the rockets. Still, I'm not surprised people are skeptical (or ignorant to the existence) of these bores.
Could you hack this to find a theory of everything?

Just hear every possible theory out there, every math, every interpretations, etc... until you find the true one. Sort of like a Guess Who game.
IANAL but I read "information about .... content" as metadata, not the data itself.

Also, based on the size of the videos that thing must make, I don't see any feasible way they could or would exfiltrate the video content you're shooting.
I'm in the same boat. My current plan is to take a few weeks off and finish each one of my "to-X" lists before they become truly unmanageable.
This is just my own personal perspective on the matter but one could do that until the Spotify domain is gone. The mp3's will remain provided they have a habit of keeping their software backed up. I have CD's, DVD's and music files going back as far as such things existed and no internet connection is required for any of it.
Yeah, and if the study of populations has shown us anything, exponentials can also turn quickly into gaussians when a tipping point is passed. Not all of them end up as nice (if you are not afraid of the end of growth anyway) logistic curves.
I'd normally agree with you, but I don't think you fathom how incredibly starved for space Swiss logistics is. There are densely populated parts of the country where logistics capacity is maxed out, but where there's no more space on roads or to build more warehouses. My understanding is that the CST sprung out of those problems.
It's a pyramid, but it was projected onto a line. What you are talking about is the projection onto a plane.
> currently taxes at 13.67 (1/3 of which goes to paying the debt)

So they'd need about 9 mills (2/3rds of 13.67) to pay expenses without the debt? It's likely that they could make up the shortfall by reducing some services. Any services that the local community didn't want to pay for and the Disney company still wanted, Disney could pay for itself.

I also wonder if the the district is fairly valuing the land. How much would a hotel be willing to pay for an acre near the park, and is that the valuation the district uses?
Blow a few more of your spare change on a lawyer and fine out if it’s admirable in court.
The mental health aspect I think is often overlooked. When young engineers are eager to climb the ladder into senior/principal/distinguished positions (this was me, btw) they often overlook what it does to your mental health. The beginning seems great. Big problems, big solutions, everyone knows what’s their role in it and how to get it done. Over the years that view will fade. The certainty of success replaced by tooling up, research, supporting articles, still engineering hard stuff, fielding workshops by the business to help educate and rehash the vision to this next set of recent college grads. The complexity of the job increases as the responsibility increases.

My brother is also an engineer and instead of going after titles and management he decided to stay as an engineer for as long as he could. He’s extremely happy working on things without having direct reports. There’s a sweet spot for everyone here. Some like more freedom and time to recharge (this is me) and some can balance the demands of the work with the demands to explore work (my brother). Then there are others who dive so far head first into work they burn themselves out.

Please, take the time to find your balance. Not only will you be happier, people around you will be too.

It's a mammal. You can milk it. It just takes a lot of time and appropriate milking equipment.

That isn't much money at all for retail customers that any sane financial planner would advise to buy and hold. Or put some into an ETF or mutual find each month.

Nobody wants to work because no human feels that the abuse service workers receive is worth a wage fundamentally too low to live on.
When the organization itself takes security seriously, it can be so much better.
I'm at a telecom, where we have multiple security teams. Ours is all about security testing, and we're regularly meeting with dev teams to discuss findings, exploring them together if necessary. I'm not always sure about the project managers, but the developers definitely seem to appreciate the insights and guidance.

I should note, understanding the issues helps, as you can also tell them what findings are irrelevant in their specific context. For web app security for instance, many issues are browser-related, and may not matter for inter-system API calls.
> probably worth giving them the benefit of the doubt

My lawyer would have a seizure if I showed this to them. If I had a lawyer, of course.
Nah, not true. In a legal proceeding, always say the minimum. It's never to your benefit to talk to law enforcement (or congress in this case).
> Life insurance often already does this to some degree. Car insurance does this all the time based on the choices a person has made

This is probably different from person to person, based on their ideology or world-view. Because I don't think that we should be treated differently based on our choices. For me insurances are an act of solidarity - We all pay, and if someone needs money, they receive it. Of course that excludes fraud, but I think you know what I mean. But I respect your view, I understand why people would want premiums to be individual. It's just not my style.

> socioeconomic issues surrounding access & affordability to healthy foods

That's true, yes. Socioeconomic standings can however also influence other factors we have mentioned, though admittedly not so much as food. But one example I have in mind is drug use - Technically opiates and other hard drugs are very dangerous and harmful, and I think we're both aware how much socioeconomic factors influences consumption of such substances.

I have to agree with the other commenter, this sentence is very quotable: "The fact that people might argue over where to draw the line is never, by itself, justification for not drawing a line at all." Good insight, thanks. Will keep this in mind the next time I think about potential lines.
Right, the more I learned about computers and automation, the more I want dumber stuff. Intelligent doorlock? Alexa lights? Ring? Nooo thank you, I don't want to be left out of my home or without light because of some internet error.

I like my electronics like my dogs: dumb as a mule.
They're out there but not commonplace. Walk into a Staples or Best Buy and they're either USB A corded or USB A wireless dongles with a dash of Bluetooth.

Lots can happen in 5 mins. If things are so dangerous, why not get a guard dog and arm yourself.

> The guard has access to my property and they can then conduct a search for the cause of the alarm.

What is expected from a guard you pay $2 to? Is he even armed? If he has access to your property, what prevents him from stealing from you or harming you?

The article links to some docs for the logging module here: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#optimization asserting that f-strings are less optimal but the docs do not say that they do not optimize our the expression evaluation of f-strings: only that the logging module tried to perform evaluation as late as possible: where is the f-string described as suboptimal?

Relatedly the logging optimization suggests setting: raiseExceptions to false for production logging code: where is that set? On the logger, handler or something else?

Looking at that data, Republicans trust the institutions they control and Democrats trust the institutions they control, with the trends following the direction the institutions are themselves moving. Our institutions continue to polarize and cleave society as a consequence.
Keep reading the wiki article for proof that the concern is not CA-specific.

"On April 24, 2002, the Swedish National Food Administration announced that acrylamide can be found in baked and fried starchy foods, such as potato chips, breads, and cookies. Concern was raised mainly because of the probable carcinogenic effects of acrylamide."

"In 2016, the UK Food Standards Agency launched a campaign called "Go for Gold", warning of the possible cancer risk associated with cooking potatoes and other starchy foods at high temperatures."

"From this, they [WHO & FAO of UN] concluded acrylamide levels in food were safe in terms of neuropathy, but raised concerns over human carcinogenicity based on known carcinogenicity in laboratory animals."

The summary report for FAO/WHO consultations on acrylamide is available at http://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/67372:

"Risk communication
The Consultation would encourage transparent and open risk assessment and risk management processes and recognises the importance of involving interested parties (consumer, industry, retail etc.) in this process at some stages. Risk communication policy could facilitate the crucial communication process between risk assessor and risk manager and among all parties involved."
Because this is basically just PR spam
There's a big bucket right next to California called the Pacific. Perfect place for sourcing water to desalinate and dumping brine back into without doing anything measurably harmful to salt concentrations in the Pacific. It's like a literal drop in the ocean. Most big Californian metropolitan areas are right next to it. There is no water shortage; just a reluctance to pay a fair price for it.

The challenges in California are not technological but political and policy related. Local consumers of water seem to assume that water is like manna from heaven that has to be perpetually subsidized by the government. They feel entitled to it but are not really willing to pay for it; or even invest in common sense ways to reduce their consumption of it because it doesn't really cost them anything.
It’s been said that reality has a well-known liberal bias[^0]. The palpable fear and petulance on display in Florida seems to reinforce that statement. Stunts like this underscore the fact that the US consistently fails with people like DeSantis in office because their gut gets in the way of what is right [^1]. And we all know the problem with politics is the left admitting it’s not always right.

They did it so they wouldn’t collapse financially. And probably lose all licenses and privileges to make trades for the foreseeable future, ending them as a company.
That ExxonMobile link has 3 of 20 salaries being an amount above $122k and only 1 at $200k. So, even in your cherry-picked examples one of the companies only has a single person making this "mid-career salary".
> Most working people in the current generation are working more hours

This is just completely false. Both average working hours (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AVHWPEUSA065NRUG) and labor force participation (https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-lab...) has been trending downwards. I think more revealing than our hours of work is our attitudes towards work. Watch American Factory and observe the difference between Chinese and American workers. The Chinese workers simply care a lot more about getting their jobs done. I do think it's a good thing that we can afford to have higher standards for ourselves, but let's not delude ourselves into thinking this doesn't come with any downsides.
To be fair, your suggestion might make for a more resilient default, but it's also a great way to leak data and add overhead for the default case. There are tradeoffs.
We are both chronically under treating some patients and over treating others. Over treatment is a leading cause of iatrogenic harm. Some providers default to aggressive treatment whether due to a sincere belief that it's best for the patient, or to satisfy patient requests, or to make more money. But evidence based medicine guidelines indicate that it's often best to do nothing beyond active monitoring of the patient's condition.

Ideally we should be allocating limited medical resources based on formulas that maximize overall benefit as quantified by quality-adjusted life years (QALY). But it's politically difficult to set rational policies around rationing care without triggering toxic disputes about "death panels" and "killing grandma".
There are two possible extensions of the rational numbers: the reals and the p-adic numbers. This is because of Ostrowski’s theorem which states that any norm defined for rationals, can either be the normal absolute value or the p-adic norm. For p being a prime, n and d being integers relatively prime to p and e being an integer, a rational can be written as r=p^e*n/d. And p-adic norm is p^(-e). Then in 3-adic numbers you can write
1/2 = 2 + 3 + 3^2 + 3^3 + 3^4 + …

which actually converges because the norm has the negative of the exponent.

pari/gp has a native p-adic calculator, where you can type 1/2 + O(3^5) and get the first p-adic digits.

I don’t know why this impresses me, but it is probably because there are just two ways of extending the rationals, and the p-adic numbers are like the lesser known brothers of reals. I feel, I should have known this for ages. And no, I don’t know if there are known applications, outside number theory, but still, its cute.

>> This has to be a typo, but it’s yet another reminder that – say it with me – you can never trust a number.

No. Never trust an answer to an overly-simplified question. Asking for the lifetime of atmospheric methane is like asking what temperature water boils at. When faced with an overly-simplistic question an intelligent respondent will generally make all sorts of assumptions. I assume he means at sea level. I assume he means on planet earth. I assume he means normal not-heavy water. Answer: 100c. This isn't about trusting answers in the form of simple numbers. Ask an overly-simple question and expect an overly-simple answer. The fault is with the asker.
>Don’t make it an exception to compare against nil. But don’t ascribe any other meaning to the value

If comparing against nil does not fail, you are ascribing the value of "false" to it. If it works in every use case, you are ascribing an arbitrary value to it in every use case.
Back in the day when I went camping with my parents we used to "wash the dishes" using seawater and sand from the beach. Nowadays people are unnecessarily germophobic.

You'd think so, but no. The brokerages can't use customer funds to do that. They have to front the cost themselves.

>We cannot use customer funds to front that cost due to regulation. So the brokerages or the clearing firms have to go into their own pockets to do it.
