This has happened to me MULTIPLE times. Amazon simply will not allow any review that might, in some tangential way, make Amazon itself look bad. Even though you were only complaining about a dishonest seller.
Whether value was 'destroyed' or not depends on how you look at it. $500 billion dollars worth of assets were lost by the owners of the real estate; that value is gone, and it didn't go to someone else. It just vanished. The value didn't disappear because it transferred to someone else, it went away because the asset itself become less desirable and valuable to other people. You can imagine it being like if a farmer had a bunch of grain stored in a silo and it somehow went bad. The value of the grain is gone, because no one wants rotten grain; it isn't like someone else now has that value. Sure, the other farmers will sell more of their crops, but they still have to grow that food in addition to the rotten food... there is no efficiency gained or extra production in the economy.

The money spent on that commercial real estate is gone. Those big fancy buildings will have been wasted resources and effort.
Sounds sort of like Richard Stallman's boundary on what software is required to be free:

>The case of the toaster is very clear: we can't tell, except by taking it apart, whether it has a processor and software or a special-purpose chip. Since that we can't tell the difference, it makes no difference: therefore, a program that will never be changed is equivalent to a circuit. I don't care whether a toaster or microwave oven contains software.

Bankrupting DoS Attackers Despite Uncertainty
Short version - do it where or near where the bulk of your 1) customers 2) investors 3) leadership team are likely to be located, that also is not an administrative hassle. Stay out of continental Europe and tax havens that you’re never going to step foot in.

From a practical standpoint all small companies are out of compliance with tons of laws, they just fly below the radar, and do their best (not from a desire to be non-compliant, but that the laws are impossible to comply with without armies of accountants and attorneys) So do the best you can and move on with your life. You’re going to have the same employment problems with your German employee regardless of whether his employer is in the Isle of Man or Australia, so just suck it up and hire a an accounting firm to do the personal tax returns for the team and focus on your business.
You usually need a local bank account. For example, in the NL I need an NL bank account for taxation purposes for my NL business.
Not sure.

Why did my submission get flagged?
They are exaggerating it by not including the increases in value elsewhere, but there is "value" destroyed. The flow to other places is not as high as what was lost.

I think this is due to the perceived value of proximity not keeping up with technology. The "real" value of proximity fell as technology improved, and that was exposed during the pandemic. It's more of a correction than outright destruction, but it's not wrong that the overall asset class lost value.
> I actually like PS because it builds on the concept of data pipelines, to turn them into something more object orientend.

It certainly is an interesting idea. I think the .Net dependency makes it more heavyweight than it might have otherwise been. I wonder if anyone at Microsoft has ever thought about porting it from C# to C++ (I suppose using COM/WinRT).

I think a big deficiency with pipes is they don’t come with any protocol for out-of-band content negotiation. Someone could add an IOCTL you could call on a write pipe (or Unix domain socket) to advertise supported MIME types, and blocks waiting for the other end to select one. The read end can call another IOCTL to get supported MIME types, and then a third to indicate its choice. If the read end doesn’t support this protocol, you could make it the first IOCTL is unblocked by the first read()/recvmsg() call on the read end, so this protocol still works even if the other end doesn’t support content negotiation. Utilities could default to producing text/plain, but generate application/json instead if the other end supports it.
I don't get how this is a big deal? don't people just ignore notifs? so what if you get notified. just ignore it.

An individual investor would need to have that balance to not lose value, sure.

But a society as a whole, is the $500B "destroyed"? Or is there a transfer from the property owners to the businesses that no longer rent the space? The NPV of those decreased rent costs may just happen to be about $500 billion, right?

Not to mention the value gained by all the no-longer-commuting workers.
I hope the people in Norway are smart enough to fight this tooth and nail. This is how everything you purchase or ever will purchase will be scrutinized by bureaucrats to be used against you.

I think you're right, but with a tiny handful of notable exceptions in astrophysics, where gigametres can be a characteristic or upper length scale.

LISA is practically always described as a gigametre-scale observatory.

One example: "LISA, a gigameter-scale space-based gravitational wave observatory, will explore the gravitational wave universe in the band from below 0.1 mHz to above 0.1 Hz." <https://about.cern/news/announcement/physics/cern-colloquium...>, and a trawl through arxiv will show a common association of Gm and LISA.

Assuming LISA is successfully deployed, gigametre may be seen more commonly.

The only other place I've seen Gm scales in common use is in galactic physics, particularly with respect to turbulence and star and planetary nebula formation (stars have ~ Gm diameters; very large stars like VY Canis Majoris have ~ Tm diameters; star systems like ours have gravitationally bound rocky and icy objects at ~ Tm diameters).

1 petameter ~ 0.1 lightyear; 30 petameter ~ 1 parsec, so those are obvious cutoffs for the SI unit of length in astronomy and astrophysics.

Gigaparsecs and (less frequently) gigalightyears are commonly used in physical cosmology (e.g. <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gigaparsec+site%3Aarxiv.org&ia=web>).

Penultimately, truly long lengths are typically measured in cosmological redshift z, which is unitless (being a ratio \frac{\delta\lambda}{\lambda}, or 1+z = \frac{a_{now}}{a_{then}} where a is the scale factor), leading to such things as a comoving volume (1 + z)^3. For z > 0.2 one would be using Gpc lengths, or in SI units Ym; or when working in these sorts of comological volumes in 2023's Britain, trevigintillions of acre-feet.

Finally, cf. the excellent printable table at <https://arxiv.org/abs/1303.5961>, the leftmost column (redshift) and the r_comov column (megaparsecs) being the most directly relevant.

Slightly OT, but it's always been weird to me how Epic requires you to add yourself to their organization on GitHub before you can access the Unreal source. I don't see how it serves any real authentication purpose; anyone can get added to it, and anyway, it's not like the code is secret when 400k people are on there

Am I missing something?
I would hazard a guess that the energy is ultimately from the moon circling the earth. Not sure how much physics has to scale to put that off balance, but other than damming up an ocean current, I can’t imagine we’d mess it up in the way you mention.
Thankfully I don't have to deal with any of those so travel websites is what I look at the most.

I honestly don't see what's the big deal, and, if anything, why this isn't grossly abused all the time. I mean, that's just how Github works, isn't it? Anyone can tag anyone, uh, yeah, ok, whatever. Looks like an intended feature to me. Does Github have problems with sending 400k notifications at once? Doesn't look like that, but if it did, I guess they shouldn't have implemented such a feature, or allowed 400k users to sign up. Someone sent you, or 10, or 400k people a message they are not interested in? Well, yeah, I guess that's pretty much the essence of internet messaging (or human communication in general), it happens to everyone daily. So, what's the problem?
I disagree, the PR is some pointless wordsmithing and then to comment "Verify the pull request and merge asap" is a bit ridiculous. Also, no one is going to care in a day.

> I haven’t found that to be the case, what improper behavior did you see? (I’m asking because I’ll file an issue if it’s actually wrong and if you don’t feel inclined to file it yourself)

When scrolling through a long document with a touchpad, it's natural to make several swipes in rapid succession, with the second swipe starting before the momentum scrolling or snap animation triggered at the end of the first swipe has finished. On my Mac, in Chrome it appears that starting the second swipe interrupts the snap animation (good) and doesn't start a new one when the second swipe ends (bad), even for a mandatory snap container—leaving the container in what should be an impossible steady-state.

In Safari, things seem to work as expected, except for the more general usability problem that making multiple swipes like this can cause the scrolling to be amplified far beyond what the user would expect for a non-snapping container.

In Firefox, things mostly work, but I'm occasionally seeing instances where the container below the one I'm scrolling also scrolls a bit. Not easily reproduceable, but since I was playing with the horizontal scroll container examples it seems unlikely that I accidentally made the right combination of one and two finger gestures to get the cursor to stray down to the lower container, scroll it a bit, move the cursor back up, and continue scrolling that one. Ordinarily, no amount of frantic two-finger swiping results in that much one-finger cursor movement, and it appeared the spurious scrolling of the second container was more correlated with rubber-band animation when scrolling past the end.

And that's from about two minutes of playing with literally the first example I could find.
I tend to use Podman/Buildah more than Docker these days. But I've been pretty happy with Toolbox, which seems similar. I agree that for many things, it's a lot more convenient than using a Dockerfile.
Oh yeah, given that choice I would, and have, done the same! I just thought it was a mostly solved problem these days (but would like to know if not)
My understanding is that while there were substantial "land bridges" at the time Australia was initially colonized, nevertheless sea crossings were still required. But it's a bit tough to follow honestly, do you have a clearer picture?

> Perhaps it would make sense to have a VM with FreeBSD running on a machine and then multiple BSD jails running inside

I was recently considering creating this specifically for FreeBSD on ARM, or at least getting FreeBSD working on QEMU+arm64 and running some jails in there.

I’ve been working with lima and colima on macOS for a Linux VM docker type wrapper and wanted a FreeBSD equivalent.

Thanks for this tool (dock), it looks great.

I feel like it also does some sentiment analysis too. Anytime I ask Alexa to play something, and I’m excited, it will tell me it isn’t available and I have to pay. Yet when I look on Amazon, it isn’t behind a Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.
I'm curious to see how this plays out in the long term since data they're using is from 2020. In late 2020 I remember reading tons of articles about how people were fleeing the city causing apartment rental prices to plummet. Now, two years later, most of my friends who rent are paying as much as, if not more than they were paying pre-covid and the apartment buildings I can see into look as full as they ever were (anecdotal evidence, I know).

Personally, I don't see a way for commercial prices to come back if WFH is here to stay, but a lot of people are incentivized to think of a solution and I've been surprised before. I think we should get another year or twos worth of data before we start calling it an apocalypse.
there's more to it though. Real estate doesn't "expire" like grain. It can be repurposed, but it would require some capital investment.

As an analogy, the grains could be fermented and turned into spirits.

And as an addendum, the value lost in the commercial real estate could be potentially considered as transferred - let's say a business either gets a cheaper rent, or stops renting offices (after this is why these commercial real estate valuation is lowered), then those businesses saved money and thus that money saved is what got "transferred".
Some have speculated based on the changes that it was not a well-meaning PR, that it was just an attempt to game the system (similar to what hordes of people do on Hacktoberfest). Of course it's hard to know
I think there’s a big difference between unintuitive and the footer thing.

I just received a legitimate letter from another country and it was completely missing from informed delivery
Yeah the screens and speakers are great; a real step-up from my previous 15”. The HDR actually works unlike most standalone screens that have good specs on paper but actually don’t deliver. The webcam is much nicer (although nothing special, just that the old ones were obsolete). The mic is also good, as it always was.
$8 lol
Thanks - I'd not seen that before, and I think it generally covers the principle well. I don't care if a fixed function device that does its job well can be updated, but I do care if something like a fridge that talks to Google Calendar ends up obsolete with nothing but a warning message on screen because it's out of date. Though why a fridge needs a screen anyway is beyond me...
I work at Brave. We don't track you, or expose any data (we don't even have your data to begin with). Reputable researchers have found Brave to exist in a class of its own as the "most private" popular browser tested: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf.

One cannot say in good faith that they were a beacon of perfect judgement at 18. Anyone who says so is either looking to buy or sell a bridge in New York.
If NYC office space in a high rise, it cannot just be repurposed for something else.
Cities are also where most social gatherings happen, esp. for younger people.

If these unused offices could be better as apartments, i don't see a decline in how cities being a great place to be.
As a true leader, Elon should be on the first spaceship of colonists headed to planet Musk (previously known as Mars).
Firefox, by default and out of the box, sends your keystrokes to Google. Brave asked the USPS to deliver a printed JPEG to people who live within your Zip Code (and you happened to get one as well). These two things are quite different in terms of privacy, security, and trust.
That's my point: most search results are ephemeral, and Google/DuckDuckGo results certainly are.

Haha! I would like to see an example of this.
But it wasn't destroyed; it was transferred: WFH-comfortable residential properties went up in value.
If it's affordable, yes. Generally speaking, the only thing that keeps me away from wanting to live in a major city is paying 3x the price, for 5x less space. Most other parts of city life can be nice.

Interesting read. Thanks for the links! Explains the hardware rationale for tiled renderers really well.

I remember tiling techniques being used on desktop mostly for localising lighting passes. Being able to cache framebuffer tiles to get past memory bottlenecks is a more interesting insight.
While I agree value has been destroyed, rents should fall as a result of lower property values, and tenant companies will have more money to deploy to their businesses as a result.

A net negative to the economy to be sure, but (literal) rent-seekers aren't the only ones in the equation.

There is a universe outside of the FAANG companies and the space they inhabit. In fact, with the exception of Amazon, the FAANG represents giant monopolies in very specific niches. If your company is outside of them, why would you be worried about FAANG?
I work at Brave. We don't get addresses; we don't want that type of data (we don't want any of your data). The addresses are printed after Brave's QA process has completed. We asked that names NOT be printed on the mailers, but have no way to verify that they were excluded, since that would expose sensitive user data to us (which we do not want). We didn't work with any data broker; we simply provided mailers and desired zip codes (for 7 cities) via the EDDM service.
Right you are, yes, it was that same message. I suppose what I meant to convey is, "despite the thoughtful safeguards built into Slack, I still managed to screw this up." :) I really appreciate Slack and it is my preferred workplace communication platform, so I hope no one reads my anecdote as criticism of the product. I can't think of any way Slack itself could have done more to prevent my mistake.

As more context, I do remember thinking, "that X number seems higher than I would expect, but maybe we had a lot of folks who signed up for the event that didn't show." I worked at a small company so the size of the company was on the same order of magnitude as the number of invitees to the event (~100). I explained away the Y time zones because I knew some people traveled internationally. I was also operating on very little sleep, so that probably didn't help.
Persense for DOS: Financial Analysis Software
I think so. Some portion of the population likes the density and walkability of a city. If you take away a lot of commuting traffic, it's unlikely to get less liveable.

I co-own a small city office and we've always assumed redeveloping as three-storeys with residential above commercial would be our long-term plan. It's a short walk to dozens of restaurants/cafes/pubs, short walk to a chemist, small supermarket, florist, and so on. Two blocks from large parks and running/cycle tracks, etc.
Of course they will. There's more reasons to live in a city than just "it's close to work".

Also, there are plenty of people who work in the city who cannot work from home because their jobs require them to physically be present.
I’m a believer in reversion to the mean, and I think that’s what we will see with the office market and work from home. The technology to work from home existed before the pandemic. Why didn’t it take off before the pandemic if it works so well? We didn’t suddenly discover a new technology here. The use of that technology was precipitated by a transient force, and when that force is removed completely, things will return to the previous equilibrium. It will take years for the mentality to revert, however.

That’s my take. Smart investors will acquire office properties during this time.
WFH even if I stayed exactly where I am in a city is, for me, a strict upgrade, so I imagine yes. It also gives me the freedom to move anywhere I want in an entire city without having to worry about what that'll do to my work commute.
like WFH capable apartments ....
Brave didn't do the printing; that is (and has been since 2020) handled by the EDDM vendor. Brave doesn't want any user data; we prefer that information to stay with the United States Postal Service, which has legitimate claim over such information.
