Curious to know the third side with regards to clear victim/aggressor situations (domestic violence, x*phobia, Russia in Ukraine, etc.)
What it is that leads you to believe the 3-6 months thing is so significant? There are (a very small proportion of) AirBnB guests who are awful. There are (a very small proportion of) longer-term tenants who are awful. At least with AirBnB, the awful guests are gone after a couple of nights.

I know some AirBnBs are used as party destinations, and that's different -- but it's a problem with those hosts, not with the platform. AirBnB make it pretty easy to telegraph that your property is completely unsuitable for loud gatherings, and anyone who puts a piano in a short-term rental is an idiot.
Not that I doubt, but it would be nice to have some handy evidence for your positive evaluation.
I find it interesting that your packages are still being handed off to the USPS. It has been quite a while since I had an Amazon order not delivered by Amazon.
Advent of Code. Its a yearly coding challenge in December. Increasingly difficult problems each day, and an overall very fun way to brush up on algorithms or learn a new language.

And many, many others besides. The musical child prodigy is a well documented phenomenon and even though 'a lot of free time to practice' is a common theme lots of people with a lot of free time to practice will never even get close to that level. Compare to math prodigies, and other ways in which some people appear to stand out from the crowd.

Of course then you can drag in all kinds of circumstantial evidence that amount to a 'no true prodigy' version of the one about that dude from Scotland but I think the evidence is solid enough to show that there is something there.

FWIW I also know plenty of the opposite: people that have worked really hard their whole life long to master an instrument and who will never be at the level of one of these gifted children. They play beautifully and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them but they are not under any illusion that it came hard to them when it seems to come so incredibly easy to some others. Outliers do happen.

This take seems very slanted towards new CD sales.

I listen to a lot of underground music (namely black metal, hip-hop, and the like), and not only are CD's selling out regularly, so are cassettes. Once they've sold out, they hit Discogs and Ebay at severe markups that people are happy to pay. Several CD's that I've bought in the past few years have compounded many times over in value, as the supply can be very limited but the demand isn't diminishing. The spread on my collection per Discogs ranges from $800-$2500. That lower bound has been continuous, but I saw the upper bound increase by $1000 in just the past two years.

It's also not uncommon for me to go hunting for CD's that originally sold in the 80/90/00's, so as to get around "re-masters" that undo the lo-fi sound underground music fans enjoy so much. I doubt my copy of The Cramps' first compilation* is going to reflect in last year's CD sales.

I'm aware that this is a niche interest, but it's a growing niche. There are a few subreddits that I've followed in the past (/r/CDCollectors and /r/CDKvlt), and in my time there, I saw those groups grow considerably.

There IS a CD Revival, if you look in the right place.
tbh, it's easier to find stuff on Google than in my local storage.
It caused one of the major mass extinction events on earth, some life still finds it toxic, and the point I was trying and failing to make is that the definition given was insufficient because dose is important.
For a new top line one, maybe, in the UK I see them in the 10-20K range for an old one in good condition all the time. Quite a few friends have had one for a bit just to show off and lost minimal money on them. Now if you were talking about a Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren you might be nearer the mark, but who buys them who doesn't have money to burn?
> less people than traffic accidents, overdoses, suicides

Unless it's much less that doesn't mean much given that those are usually the largest killers of young people.
That just implies that the origin country (UK) is ok with someone working remotely. You're still bound to the laws of the destination country. Further, there's a difference between what's easily possible (nobody will easily notice if you work from another country on a tourist visa) vs what is legal.
No one who cares about the environment should buy a Mac, where you can't upgrade anything and the entire machine is e-waste when a single component gives up the ghost. I like Macs and the Apple Silicon CPUs but let's be honest here.
Within IT I’ve seen something similar to this with contractors and consultants. I used to be a contractor and was paid hourly and many of my fellow contractors considered a day off as spending or losing money, not money that never earned in the first place. The distinction for them meant that they never fully enjoyed time off as their leisure time came with an extra perceived negative cost. That doesn’t seem like a healthy perspective to me.
Now that I think about it, those super robot pilots never use VR nor do their helmets support AR.

It's definitely not standard practice to include a photo with a CV in the UK to my knowledge.

Anecdotally I've never done that at any point in my career nor have I ever been asked to.

I've also never seen a photo included with a CV when hiring.

Some good thoughts. Thank you.

The scale of specialism/generalism does seem to be a factor. Some

> The liability is with the person, not the company.

Why would the liability be solely with the person? Especially if that company has a representation in the other country I highly doubt this.

In e.g. NL the company has to "take care" of the employee. A company cannot just ignore such a question, or take it as "not my problem".
I think I understand your sentiment here.

Being a father of two (2 and 4), I think children younger than certain age cannot connect the negative result with the action they did. I yell, I lose candy, so what? I get to yell. Also, telling kids what not to do is different from what to do. You can tell kids don't do this, don't do that all day and they still fail to behave . My 2-yo tends to yell when he couldn't get the things he want. Telling him don't yell is futile. Taking snacks off his hand is even more futile. Giving him the stuff once he claim down and say "thank you" seems to help.

On the other hand, punishing has its place. But use it sparingly. I always send both of them to time out if they fail to share toys or fight each other. There is no one size fit all. Every kids are different.

> Certainly if you did the deceptive deed of tracking "dead with vaccine" like we do for the disease.

Where are they not tracking "dead with covid" separately from "dead from covid"? Here in the UK we have very clearly recorded separate numbers for these (the "dead from" number were ~66% the "dead with" numbers until recently with the rise of Omicron meaning that far more people have covid and far few people are dying from it).
Nobody disagrees that dose is important. Your point is failing to land because you are attacking a straw man and not the point the original person was making.

Teams for Mac is currently built for Intel and runs via Rossetta 2. What they mean by 'optimized' in this case simply seems to mean they're building it for Mac OS ARM native.

As to code change it very much depends on what the source code looks like and how low level your code is. Sometimes it will just compile and work, and sometimes it will fail and weird and wonderful ways that leads you down a dark path of debugging exactly how floating point numbers are actually implemented on different CPUs.
There are plenty of competitors in this space.
The 20% rule only applies to Switzerland and the "Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen" with the neighbor countries or EU. This was the reason I quit my job in switzerland and moved back to germany (without taking a huge pay cut ;), more vacation days and only 35hour/week), now the 183day rule for social contributions and tax apply as long as I live in germany. So now I can work from portugal during winter :)
What you describe is what I would consider a cultural thing.
Here in Germany everybody attaches a photo (often a business-like studio photo), for instance.
There’s some real magic in macOS now. I found the other day I can just search for “cows” in my photo library. And they are there!
I can't seem to understand why vectorization wouldn't help, say if you read after a sort. Irrespective of whether it fits in memory, or you perform some sort of an external sort, any operation that you want to perform on top of that sorted vector, be it an aggregation to reduce it, or an arithmetic operation with another column, you could still leverage vectorization and would end up using fewer CPU cycles, no?
And yet the author uses figures to also generate a false dichotomy. Just because a gap in income might be wider does not mean everyone is worse off, it is not a zero sum game.

There is now far more music variety available than ever before, and I'm sure it's more and more difficult to stand out.

What has probably been lost is some word of mouth for music, the algorithms have taken much of that over for better or worse.
Not sure if it's some runtime mode in kotlin but b?.something always threw panic for me when writing kotlin plugins for flutter, so I ended up having to guard the expressions with ifs anyways...
You worded it perfectly.
Bacteriophages had serious problems that made them unsuitable for mass deployment. For example, you need to isolate a strain suitable against an infection, and that's a process which was difficult to scale. Another problem is that as far as the body is concerned, the phage is an infection too and it turns out the body can be effective at getting rid of phages. Lastly, resistances also occur against phages.

> Banning short-term rental properties feels like a quick bandaid to gain political points, not a solution to a market with a large demand.

Seems more that you want government to facilitate running a business where it's not in the interest of that government, nor in the interest of the locals. Airbnb's aren't beneficial, plus they aren't checked as properly as a hotel.

Usually it isn't banned, what they're after is that it is limited (days/year), plus the AirBnB income is properly taxed.
This research makes it seem like a good idea not to provide pictures in general.

Fair point about the "recentness". I guess it seemed recent to me since I learned about it only a few months back :)

Ask HN: Which are the best tools for generating websites?
Building a website from scratch is hard and takes a lot of time. That's why there are many website designing tools out there which let users to design a beautiful website with ease. However, their generated code is not easy to be reused or maintained by developers. If you know or experience with any tool being good at code generation, please share with me, thanks a lot.
I would rather have my program hard crash on unexpected null than to have it silently ignore potential logic errors. I have never used a language with nil punning, but to me Option<T> still feels to be the best approach.
When you pay ransom you attract more trolls. You feed them. Rather they exist solely because they are paid.
Well yeah, but you have to put things in perspective... we took away basic human rights (movement, assembly, relatively even speech), to save less people than if we banned driving for <40yo. Even with the vaccines, and the passive forcing of vaccinations (eg. limiting stuff you can do unless vaccinated or tested daily), most of the services where you needed the vaccine/test were used by the young people (shopping malls, cinemas, etc.), and not old people (who stereotipically just go to normal stores, pharmacy and a doctor).

Just the number of extra suicides due to curfews was probably higher than the death rates in those age groups.

In comparison, in total (so all age groups, including the 85yo+), we had more cigarette related deaths in those two years than of covid, and we still sell cigarettes pretty much everywhere.
That depends very much on where you live. It is legal in Canada and most of Europe.
Their fee is some hundred dollars, and on top of that they need to pay local taxes.

Unless you live in a cave and using your excrement as manure I could apply the same logic to your lifestyle.

Realistically the only practical difference is virtue signaling (I've seen a bunch of hipsters bring up these kind of irrelevant talking points while discussing their vacation in some exotic destination 5 minutes later).

And like someone else said, Apple devices are the definition of throwaway consumer products designed for a limited shelf life.
Sell them!

Or offer them online, for instance in the FB VintageMacs group, or the LowEndMac.com mailing lists, or somewhere.

I am sure you will find many takers.

Never ever throw away or recycle working computer kit. Someone somewhere will want it.
The problem with a journal of bad results is that it would only be useful if you kept meticulous notes while getting bad results. Which functionally turns them into good results which can be published normally, since you now have enough content to write something like "<Phenonmenon> not found under <conditions>" which is basically how you call out the original authors.

The reality of when you can't reproduce something is usually some combination of the authors did not report something they considered minor, but which turned out to be important, and/or that you're just bad at it, but in both cases your actual research probably wasn't trying to study that phenomenon - you wanted to use it for something else.

EDIT: I will say, what would be great would be if live-streaming your experiments became a thing (so really just recording them) at least in chemistry (where I worked). There would be immense value in being able to pull the recordings of someone getting the result they claim so you can see their whole technique, setup, lab and process - because that's where the important details creep in.

> That's a funny one, and I agree, and it's also the reason I use "and" instead of "but" for those kinds of sentences.

So you agree, but it's also the reason you substitute it to hide it?
The fact that there is no CLEAR evidence that masks are effective at improving COVID outcomes tells you that if they do have an effect, the size must be small. If they worked well, anywhere near say preventing 50% of infections, then you would not need complicated statistical analysis to tease out marginal hazard ratios from massive data sets.
I wonder if they were working with recruiters who were scraping LinkedIn photos.

I am happy to see someone else recommending Ubuntu Unity, especially as being Mac-like. It remains my default OS for my laptops and it continues to improve; version 22.04 uses mainly MATE accessories, to provide proper menus and toolbars, and also supports Flatpak.
I'm never sure if rice is racist. It feels kinda like it is... But supposedly everyone agrees it means Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements? I try to avoid saying it.

I wish there was a desktop environment design for that kind of aesthetics, but with KDE/Cinammon style functionality. I'm kind of surprised the whole desktop hasn't become a browser by now.

I'd probably totally be into this if it was as easy as web design, but the CSS needed to theme Cinnamon is a bit complicated, and it doesn't seem that you have full access to all CSS features.
Were they there before? ;)
I disagree - if its a template
that is commonly used, someone only has to dissect it once.

Regardless, what exactly is tricky to disect or falacious about this template? The rebbutal is basically:

* go is trying to optimize for different things

* go makes no secret that its trying to optimize for different things

* some people like the things that go optimizes for (and some people don't).

* [with an implied] if you intentionally used a tool that made choices you don't like, and its not a secret they made those choices, is it really the tool's fault or your fault? Its like ordering ice cream and being mad the ice cream is cold.

If the original argument was more phrased as the types of design choices go makes are bad, it would probably be more palatable (but also less interesting, because whether worse really is better is flame war that has been going on for decades)
> Overall, Airbus and its delinked sidesticks was a factor in the accident.

Confused, Bonin exclaimed, "[Expletive] I don't have control of the airplane any more now", and two seconds later, "I don't have control of the airplane at all!"[29]

Robert responded to this by saying, "controls to the left", and took over control of the aircraft.[73][32]

He pushed his side-stick forward to lower the nose and recover from the stall; however, Bonin was still pulling his side-stick back.

The inputs cancelled each other out and triggered an audible "dual input" warning.

So in an Airbus this situation is unambiguous - the plane tells you plain and simple: Both pilots are trying to fly at the same time. With a mechanically linked set of controls, you don't necessarily know whether you're fighting the other pilot or the plane.
> it is about Washington behaving like the version of Washington one sees in the movies.

Sort of? It reads more about how television reflects (on) Politics when Politicians are involved in the making of it.

Quite right.

Reminds me of this quote by Mark Twain; “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
IANAL, but ripping a CD that you own and then using that digital music yourself is legal - providing the songs to someone else (who hasn't paid for the album) isn't.
You do. They have some kind of a watermark or metadata specific to your copy but don't have DRM.
Boundaries are good, but extortion and intimidation is not the way to do it. You can withhold candy but throwing it away is hurtful and cruel.

Speaking as someone who is currently dealing with a very disobedient 2-year old.

In any case, to keep kids behaving on a car road trip, you need to keep them busy and take care of their basic needs, being still and strapped in the back seat is not fun.
Well traveling within the EU should be simple enough. Haven't done it outside but I have a few questions.

If I'm on paid leave, I'm still earning money, and I go to Asia - am I breaking the law? I'm still "doing" the activity that's earning me money.

If I'm on my paid leave, and fiddle with my blog, which gets ad revenue - am I earning money and thus doing illegal economic activity?

Not a lawyer so would love a more rigorous definition of "doing work" that is applied in Asia so I know if I'm overstepping. Maybe you can point me to some of those discussions?
Masks reduce the risk of transmission a lot that is pretty clear as far as I know but

* Are they used correctly by the majority?

* Are the situations where masks are/were used actually the main contributors to infections overall?

* How well do masks work in situations with long time of contact and wearing (public transport, on the job site, ...)?

* + Probably a lot of other questions

So it can very well be that the impact of masks overall and in comparison with other measures is lower than controlled experiments suggest. If that's the case it does not mean wearing a mask is a bad idea but knowing this could influence decisions on mandating doing it.
Lisp macros are cool because the source code is written directly as a low-level AST. Elixir macros are cool for the same reason.
You can also use Thanos (https://thanos.io/) for storing Prometheus metrics into S3. The design is pretty similar to Loki (which Thanos predates), separated into services so you can nicely horizontally scale your ingestion path separately from your read path depending on workloads.
Wow!! I love this so much!

I don't even like building this kind of pure analog stuff, but this retro site is just such a wonderful thing. Just like the days when tech was still exciting, despite being so much more primitive.
