It's not an easy distinction to make though. Actual "long COVID" itself is likely to be a collection of ailments (recovery from physical damage to lungs and cardiovascular system, post-viral trigger happy immune systems, possible opportunistic infection or symptoms of existing latent virus due to COVID-induced weakness) which differ from person to person and at least some of those ailments plausibly interact with anxiety (a psychological problem that has physiological effects on blood pressure, cortisol levels etc itself)

Raytheon weapons don't sell themselves! Ukraine has generated $54B this year, but where will the profits be next year? In-the-know lobbyists say: "Taiwan!"
I think I mostly agree on the particulars -- and yet I'd still like the argument to happen. Roughly, I think Google does something that is strongly within the spirit of that which we use common carrier for. So broadly, what I'm saying is that -- there's no real harm in trying this. Google is big and tough and has lawyers and they'll live. Let's get this argument out in the open and see where it goes.
I was looking at this with great interest, until I looked at the pricing and found out the lowest hosted pricing tier starts at $150/month.

I know there's a free "community" hosted version, but I'm not sure what the differences is outside of the limits and support, and I'd prefer to see the pricing scale up a bit more gently than 0 -> $150 as soon as I reach the limits of the free offering.
In my experience, it's not that CSS selectors are "more powerful," but rather "more legible." XPath is for sure more powerful, but also usually lower signal to noise ratio

response.css("#the-id")
# vs
response.xpath("//*[@id='the-id']")

Thankfully, Scrapy (well, pedantically "parsel") allows mixing and matching, using the one which makes the most sense

response.css(".someClass").xpath(".//*[starts-with(text(), 'Price')]")

Joy of Cryptography by Mike Rosulek is my favorite: https://joyofcryptography.com/

Written by a past professor of mine. Grounded in a lot of math, but not intimidating.
Yes, with nuclear energy, we'll be able to provide for humanity's needs until the global population is back down below 7 billion, which, if things go well, could be reached about 100 years from now, and, if things go badly, could be reached about 100 minutes from now.
I’d be very surprised if that works out better than a really big wire, but it’s not inconceivable that a future post-scarcity government may prefer the aesthetic.
I have more faith in empowered teams at least for companies where software is not the main focus.

For software companies, it makes sense to do more DevOps, how much depends on the company.

Scrum and all the events/meetings that go with it will certainly not be missed. That goes for SAFe as well.
I think the impact of rural jobs are largely irrelevant if you think your kids will be high skill workers.

I grew up in a rural community and the path is quite simple. Grow up there, leave for university, go where the jobs are or go back and work remotely.

Cities will always be more expensive, but that is to be expected.
One weird trick: try not to appear American. American tourists are targeted because they tend to have valuables, also many cultures have a low opinion of the USA (anyone from the USA deserves behaviour X in response). I wish it weren’t like that, but it is hard to change stereotypes.

When travelling I might make out I am a hippy traveller type (low value target), or act like I’m from another country (e.g. Spanish tourists are known to be tight/tacaño in Morocco), and I try to avoid carrying or wearing anything that makes me stand out as a target (bumbag, camera, expensive accessories, high value branded clothes).

As a broad rule, you need to be most safety conscious in high density tourist areas. The only places I have been where I really knew I was unsafe were Rio (dangerous to locals too), and Nha Trang. In areas with very few tourists, I have usually been able to be fairly trusting, which leads to better experiences. Travelling as a hypersensitive victim is not fun: people sense your distrust and react poorly to it.

I am a New Zealander, and we tend to have a reputation for friendliness, which I try to project and maintain our reputation.

I have been obnoxiously drunk a few times when I have pretended to be Australian or American, sorry guys.
One would have hoped Russia would suffice. Maybe they don’t seem scary enough.
I do bullet journaling. I don't write blogposts very well, and prefer little actionable 'bullet point' one liners that I execute upon later. Most of my ideas come at night when my brain is super busy. I wouldn't call it 'overthinking' as you can't think about things enough!

Thinking is valuable and not some malady we have to overcome. Come morning, after I caffeinate, and do 5 mins of meditation, I execute on as many bullets as possible. I don't care if I don't complete them all. It's nice to check some off though!
If cars had been kept as an additive to public transit then I might buy your position but a lot of public transit systems were specifically destroyed at the direction (and with subsidies from) car manufacturers.

Trains and trolleys did allow for some suburban growth - but the sprawl didn't come into being until cars became the norm for transport... specifically, commuting by train and using cars for leisure could have been the world we live in, rather than this hellish landscape where cars are the norm for getting to the work or picking up groceries.

This may differ from your world view but please just compare the west to east coast where most of the eastern cities were built first without cars in mind and only later expanded - vs. a lot of west coast cities that have always been car first.

The difference is extremely stark.
Well considering if you voted in a party whose promise of voting reform has been heavily rescinded, I think pressing them to fulfill that promise would be a start.

"There are no technological solutions to corruption, only political ones"

Yes and no. It isn't politically easy to disadvantage an obviously better alternative that half of the world is using.

Even the French government with its Minitel [1] had eventually to throw the towel in. And the Czech government, which used to be even more corrupt, still could not prevent slow unravelling of government-owned monopolies such as the Czech Telecom, Czech Railways, Czech Post etc. They had to adapt to the changing and more competitive world and shake off some of their bloat.

"Stopped watching the news"

I did this back in the early `80s when living in Los Angles. Back then I'd get off work, grab some fast food on the way home, and then turn on the TV News and watch it. The station I'd watch was, at the time, a model for today's "FOX News" and is now a FOX station. They had 3, 1/2 hour news programs back to back. The first 1/2 hour was local LA/Californa news, the 2nd was US news, the 3rd was World News.

In each of those shows they focused on murders, robberies, car crashes, etc. By the end of the 3rd show I'd be so depressed I felt like shit. Finally, one day, I realized I couldn't consume every awful thing they broadcast because, and more importantly, most all of it didn't effect me personally.

So I quit watching the "News", and it didn't take long at all before I was enjoying life again.

Nowadays I "monitor" the news as opposed to "consuming" it. I don't watch any News at all on TV. I watch selected videos on YouTube to get the gist of a story and when the opining starts I move on.
I just wanted to say, I really don't appreciate the sarcasm in the first couple of paragraphs. Anybody can take someone's comment and negate each of the sentences. It's only clever and cute if the new version is kind of self-evidently true or somehow insightful. In this case, it's not.

You're also setting up a straw man with the comment about workers' rights. A call for the government to "fix inequality" with something like the New Deal is not a call for workers' rights. It's implicitly a call for the government to run much more of the economy than it already does. There is no other way to achieve the stated objective in the stated way.

Playing the old "fit about socialism" card is not impressive. I never used the word "socialism" because it's a slippery word that leads to low quality discussion. It's beside the point. Is every argument against government management magically defeated by the "OMG SOCIALISM" sarcasm that left wing people always trot out like this?

Also, probably needless to say, I disagree with your analysis.

edit: I will respond to the following:

> In reality, it is very well known - by psychology, by statistics, and by empiricism - that societies that don't allow the most powerful to make unchecked decisions based on their current level of resources do better than those who do.

That's simply not true that this is "very well known." And you are conflating political power (which is what we call "power") with economic power (which isn't what we normally call "power"). The power of Bill Gates or Warren Buffet is limited mostly to doing good or just losing their money. That has nothing to do with the power weilded by, say, the Dept. of Homeland Security, or the American medical insurance industry (which gets its power through regulatory graft backed by political power and ultimately force). Forceful power, i.e. "power," is just not comparable to the "power" one gets by voluntarily trading with others.

It's silly to say your non sequitur is "well known" by "psychology" or "statistics" (what do those have to do with it, anyway) or "empiricism." That's nothing like my saying that something is "well known" to history. 20th century history is straightforward and direct (and relevant) in a way that psychology and statistics are not. We have tried big government management many times and it always fails. Look at the many communist countries that actually stayed communist (i.e. China doesn't count, but it's a shit show anyway). Look at fascist-nationalist command economies like the Nazis and today's Russians. Those societies and economies evidently do not work. (I would add, look at the outcome of the New Deal, but that is more nuanced.) There is no way a psychology paper could have that kind of evidentiary power.
Agree. And this is similar to policy US itself took (and many other rising economic powers) in the early 1800's [0]

"The American System was an economic plan that played an important role in American policy during the first half of the 19th century. Rooted in the "American School" ideas of Alexander Hamilton, the plan "consisted of three mutually reinforcing parts: a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other 'internal improvements' to develop profitable markets for agriculture".

The establishment of a protective tariff, a 20%–25% tax on imported goods, would protect a nation's business from foreign competition. Congress passed a tariff in 1816 which made European goods more expensive and encouraged consumers to buy relatively cheap American-made goods."

Sure, I can't say - but when was that made part of Rec 709? I suppose that may well be what it invented...

Edit - to clarify better that what I'm trying to convey is that the time and context matters too, and the claims have to be read in light of the description, so suggesting that claims are trivially invalid is something to be cautious about.
The price of rent shows its desirability. Lots and lots of people want to live there, but that doesn't mean they can, or that it's the best fit for their other requirements.
Everything I don’t like should be illegal.

If we cannot make it illegal, it should be inordinately inconvenient.

If we cannot make it inordinately inconvenient, we should at least do something so that we can feel better about ourselves having done something.

Whether or not it actually solves the problem - or if there’s even a problem in the first place - barely registers as a concern.

I doubt DC has a lot of 6,000lb personal vehicles on the road, and I doubt a $500/year tax will dissuade anyone from buying one.

Reminds me of how Boulder instituted a steep sugar tax despite being one of the healthiest cities in the country.
Here's one then (in German): https://www.c64-wiki.de/wiki/Aufzeichnungsformat_der_Datasse...
Yes, I think that's captured by "the most desperately impoverished portions of Indian cities". Their parents have often sent them to beg, because the need is greater than that society's willingness to fill (vs. low income school lunch programs in the US that keep us from having that scenario). The blame for that situation is squarely on India.

But you don't have to go very far up the socioeconomic ladder even in India to get to a strata of the population who would not send their kids to beg in the streets. People there wish to protect and provide for their kids as much as anywhere else in the world.
You mean corporations don't actually want to innovate once they have significant market share?
It's very unrealistic, one might say childishly naive, to assume that this is how income is distributed.
This is true of all governments, but the CCP does far more good for China that the U.S. government does for the U.S.
You can do a cash out refi and invest into other higher yielding cashflowing assets. People do this all the time for e.g. renovations, additions etc
> So the novelty is that they separate R,G and B planes before compression?

> Yeah, it's pretty fundamental and obvious now, but at the time no one was selling a professional video camera with a single chip for that price. It was a different world.

I don't see how no such cameras being on the market makes the software any less obvious, unless we are totally abdicating the meaning of "obvious" to reduce it to "non-novel". But if that were the law's intent, it wouldn't require non-obviousness and novelty - just one or the other would suffice.
Is that so crazy? Direct to consumer seems like an obvious solution to the problem. What are all of the middlemen adding, anyway?
There’s a difference between “it’s rural so things are spread out” and what we have in places like LA and Houston where major metro centers that could have been dense with good transit were purposely designed to be spread out and only able to be gotten around in in an automobile

It would thrill me if common crawl were updated with such frequency that it would allow new search engines to enter the market

I haven't dug into it enough to know if there's some technical reason it's not currently the case, or just lack of (interest|willpower)
You're absolutely right about just biting the bullet and grinding as it should pay off tenfold for a salary increase. I know it's all really just a numbers game.

The """problem""" is I already make $250-300k. Last year I went through 30 interviews. They either fell through because of salary (they couldn't even come close to my current) or they just straight up lied until the very end about it being remote (name & shame: Notion, Lune, and Spotnana). The time-cost was sunk and net zero value.

The worst taste in my mouth was the recruiters basically negging and gaslighting me for asking as much as I did or saying I couldn't possibly know all the things on my resume. I'm literally doing those things daily and collecting the paycheck every month.

Maybe I'm just in a local maxima? My plan was to rest-and-vest but the vest part ain't happening at the level it was supposed to.
I've been to SF proper only twice (but many times to San Jose). In my opinion, the only things going for it are the weather, coastal locality, sycamores, and interesting terrain. Otherwise it just felt really trashy to me. I wouldn't move there even if I was offered an extra $100k/yr.
I think if you asked DC whether they'd rather continue to be funded by federal income and burdened by the national politics that constantly dictate what they can and can't do - or whether they'd prefer to enjoy the same level of freedom that other US cities enjoy they'd choose the former. In fact I don't think - I know - DC statehood has been a hugely locally popular movement for quite some time.

Just because you bought someone a coffee after punching them in the gut doesn't mean they appreciate your patronage.
I'm a city native living in SF, but grew up all over the SFBAY including much, much rougher neighborhoods than anything I've experienced in SF.

Several of my family members and myself have been assaulted/robbed in broad daylight, had cars stolen, and some have been shot by stray bullets due to a local gang fight. When I was in grade school someone brought a gun to class and showed it off by pointing it at me (!!) — all outside of SF.

SF feels incredibly safe compared to my lived experience in the rest of the Bay. I'm not saying there aren't any issues here, but SF is nowhere near as bad as some of the roughest parts of the Bay. Not by a longshot.
The unelected Chinese government created a system wherein the Chinese taxpayers were (unknowingly) subsidizing panel production so that Chinese companies could sell their panels in other markets below the cost of materials.

This prevents competition from forming… yes the US government should do more, but it is slower in a democracy to respond…
Not just America. Europe, and other civilisations in the past, always benefited from immigration.
I never understood why the retailers of these consoles don't adjust their prices to reflect the demand, so that there's at least some supply. When the PS5 first came out, for example, the price with retailers was like 1/4th of the price on ebay, and it was impossible to buy from the retailers.

Wouldn't it be better for everyone if the retailers adjusted the prices? At least then, the incentive to be a reseller/scalper would diminish to nothing, which means you don't pay for their premium.
If everyone inflated their grades then how would getting a PhD get any easier? Your uni can grade you on a curve or grade you flat, but for a PhD you will have to be stack ranked
Yes, SF has problems that are not related to the macro environment.

nitpick: Rent prices in many neighborhoods are back up. It's specific areas in and near downtown that draw down the average.
I agree that some dealers are pretty shady. Some are great. Knowing in advance which one you're dealing with is close to impossible.

I don't set foot in a dealer any more without working the deal first by e-mail. Then I bring in the purchase contract and pick up the car. No last minute fun surprises. I've also had fairly good success looking the finance manager in the eye and telling them point blank I will only be wasting their time by repeating 'no' if they insist on asking questions, just give me the final paper to sign and the keys to the car. "I will be modding it, I care not about your extended warranty, kthxbye"
Are you including the prison camps for millions of their own citizens in that equation?
That's not nationalism - that's imperialism.
A new F250 has a 34 or 48 gallon tank. Gas in the middle of DC is about $5. That's $170-$240 per tank.
>inefficient capital and labor allocations, which create waste.

You can thank this 'inefficient capital' to almost all modern innovations. In reality, the US System has evolved to be no different than China, only slightly more people have their hand in the pot in the US.

We also heavily subsidize electric energy production, manufacturing and all other manners of industry. We just don't allow sweat shops in manufacturing anymore, only tech.
Yeah but no one is allowed to sell it.
I'm glad Fabric is still around. I used it at my previous company. I might even prefer it over the Ansible we use at my current company.
C'mon. Rent was/is expensive but never $3000 for a bunk bed. If you were really splitting a room I'm pretty sure you could have had one for <$800 pre pandemic (assuming you're splitting 1 bedroom in a 3 bedroom setup).
I thought NYC was the dirtiest place I've ever seen, sounds like there's competition!
Why?

How many people on this forum, specifically, suggest that they use Apple devices because of, ultimately, good-will garnered by Apple? There should be no doubt that Apple manufactured the best laptop hardware on the planet, for the general use-case, between 2014 and 2020. Yet, many people continue to perceive Apple based on historic merits as opposed to current merits. You could always get much more than Apple for much less, but they had the quality nailed down: it is certainly not rare (especially on HN) to come across someone still using their MBP from 2014 and reluctantly considering an upgrade. Following the golden days of Apple hardware, we still have people defaulting to that prior perspective, even in the face of the the keyboard "don't use it in an environment with dust" problems of recent history.

Consumer psychology is extremely fascinating, and until you look at the overall behavior of consumers (which includes your own stupid self), you just don't realize how you've monkey brain has been exploited.

That sentence is only bizarre to people who haven't realized their own bizarre behavior.

Edit: I include myself in monkey-brain analogies, I am a human/stupid/exploitable just like you.
If SF was unattractive, it wouldn't cost $2,500-$3,000 to live in mediocre housing with 6 housemates.

Even people that don't have high paying tech jobs are lining up to pay these kinds of insane prices. They don't want to pay the prices, but it's worth it to live in an area like SF.

One of the only places on the planet in human history that people put this much energy and money into just living somewhere.
Well the superpower here is definitely not verbosity. I expected something a little more stream of consciousness to demonstrate the alleged overthinking.

Any problem can be your superpower. Well, usually not the problem, but the coping mechanism. If you exhibit a severe disfunction and you're high functioning, there you go . . . superpower.

Maybe the real superpower on display here is concision.
This makes me wonder if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have hedged all of the fixed rate mortgages they have lent money for.
For this particular example (housing) I agree that median isn't that informative. It doesn't cover the range of prices available and a theoretical city with a high median, but a glut of housing available cheaply, would look expensive according to this stat.

However, this is not my impression of housing in NYC at all. In fact - quite the opposite. The very low vacancy rate means that the floor is very high. That is why you see stories about essentially closets going for more than luxury apartments in other cities.
