I have always found that office-heavy areas of a city were pretty lame in comparison to denser residential. It does not seem like a big loss to me. Office centers tend to have some sandwich/salad lunch places that close at 4pm, some stuffy overly corporate happy hour bars, some dry cleaning places, some convenience stores and fast food spots.

Dense residential area tend to have the full range of services, more interesting restaurants and bars, more fun, more interesting. If people are spending more of their day there, I would expect a flourishing of these kinds of business. At the end of the day, some storefront owners will need to move to other areas to take advantage of changes in demand.

Cities are very dynamic things. They are constantly changing and renewing themselves. Neighborhoods come up and go down. There is no stopping it.
There are plenty of children whose online behavior is oblivious to their parents, or they circumvent restrictions their parents placed.
Highly effective, depending on the objective. There are also non-injection interventions.

Of course they would and they are.

I grew up in a district which has 150k inhabitants and an effective population density of 4.6k people per square kilometre (11.8k people per sq mile) and it was much like a city within a city, with all the shops, services etc. Everything within walking distance.

It even has somewhat of a regional identity and a political movement which capitalizes on that.

To this day I see it as the sweet spot of population density - it's dense enough for the things you mentioned, but at the same time doesn't feel crammed.
EFF calls this adversarial interoperability:

A digital civil war is preferable to surrendering to the designs of exploitative corporations. We should fight back on principle. We should block ads and tracking, scrape websites, reverse engineer private APIs, violate DRM technology, replace their proprietary apps with our own free software that we control, feed them false data to poison their data sets... We should do everything we possibly can to defeat any attempt to exploit us. We don't need their permission to do it either.

Turning things into crimes is the corporation's game. They're the ones with billions of dollars and expensive lobbyists. We shouldn't be trying to beat them in this space. We need ubiquitous subversive technology that neutralizes their exploitation whether the laws allow it or not. It shouldn't matter whether it's legal or illegal. We need technology that makes it impossible for them to exploit us in any way, and we define what is and isn't acceptable or exploitative.
I wasn't actually talking about the training, I was talking about the concept of unconscious bias. So, keep reading. The implicit association test is what it's all based on but it doesn't have any test/retest reliability. You can test someone and it'll tell you they're a raging racist without even knowing it, and if you test them again 10 minutes later it'll tell you the opposite. It's junk science which is why unconscious bias training doesn't do anything - the problem it claims to be solving isn't real.

"The original IAT paper is worth revisiting. You only really need to read page 1475. The construct validity evidence is laughable. The whole thing is based on N=26 and they find no significant correlation between the IAT and explicit measures of racism. But that's OK, Greenwald says, because the IAT is meant to find secret racists ("reveal explicitly disavowed prejudice")! The question of why a null correlation between implicit and explicit racial attitudes is to be expected is left as an exercise to the reader. The correlation between two racial IATs (male and female names) is .46 and they conveniently forget to mention the comically low test-retest reliability. That's all you need for 13k citations and a consulting industry selling implicit bias to the government for millions of dollars."

That’s a remarkably quick shift from your “clearly no” just minutes ago. We now agree they clearly do help, and I’m not sure if the duration of protection matters.
You've got to appreciate the irony of how an article about historical revolutionary technologies is buried under what has to be one of the most obnoxious web interface I've ever seen. And on top of all that, you realize the website is affiliated with the IEEE.

I'm sure he got there earlier than almost anyone!

Just googled it, and it looks like he did is a little differently. He paired 1 with n and then 2 with n-1, etc... yielding n/2 pairs that add up to n+1. It still works out to (n+1) * n/2, though :)

Apparently biographers disagreed about his age at the time but they all had the same method and the same problem of summing numbers from 1 to 100.
I dont trust the USPS to not lose my passport. I always had a bad feeling when placing it in, knowing how many times they screw up on everything else.

Regardless, I dont want the federal government to be even more nationalized. How do I even begin to disagree with the IRS, for example? On top of that, I thought nationalism was bad?
You may be “sure” but you’d be wrong.

The main repo I work on for my job is open-source, and yes, it happens fairly regularly that someone opens a nonsensical PR that might randomly perturb some Markdown or YAML file, or attempt to merge commits from some other developer's in-progress branch.

I'd say we only get them about once every week or so, but then the repo is not anywhere near as high-profile as the Unreal Engine, nor as likely to be on the radar of children.
i didn’t say coding was bad for kids

i myself started at 12 (actually with BASIC!) and while there’s no denial that it has helped my career at later point in life, it has completely alienated me from the rest of people

my schoolmates still introduce me as “nerd” to other people (not in front of me of course)

not that i care that much, but it still hurts
You are jumping to a conclusion that — just because the parent taught something about "git", they didn't get to do anything else. Where did you get that idea from? Nowhere did the parent say that this is the only thing their kid does. They may very well engage in a hundred more childhood activities in addition to this.

I find the infographic terrifying.

Though I went through a phase in uni (probably due to finals stress + drugs) where I had heart palpitation and would feel palid out of nowhere, and just how scary/futile it feels when your heart is acting up.

Anyways, I like to think that my daily exercise does something to counteract my drug use. The waveforms in this infographic will surely pop into my head next time I'm passing around a baggy of coke and notice my chest a tad tighter than usual.

Don't mess with the ticker.
Awesome, thanks. May I ask why you went with the C Corp and not an LLC? Probably to make it easier for new investors?

One factor I don't see brought up often: many organisations can't go back now. They've hired too many people to fit.
I agree that logging is essential in any system, but I read most of the original comments as tossing console.log(foo) at various points to manually observe the outcome.

The approach you described is much more structured and absolutely vital.
Don't do business in those countries. Simple solution. Trusting a private company to keep you safe from your jurisdiction is a stupid idea.
The question isn't really about finding duplicates in a list, but a slightly backhanded way to ask "do you remember high school math and can you apply it". A less artificial problem would just make things more complicated.

Also, your way is O(n) memory when O(1) would be enough for the original question.
Not the PP, but for instance, I get everything from the people in my town; every laptop, phone, tablet that they bought a newer substitute for. I have a museum for 60-90’s systems and I never found modern (after 2000) that interesting, however, now I have 100s of those too including many iPads.
I had to ban Flyservers on many occasions too.

Given the frequency with which these incidents happen, I am more inclined to think they are a bulletproof hoster of some kind ...

At a certain point it becomes difficult to attribute things to “incompetence” rather than malicious intent
Apple arcade seems to fulfill this function ( albeit subscription cost instead of in app purchases )
>Technology does not drive anything. It creates new possibilities for collecting and analyzing data, mashing ideas and reaching people, but people still need to be moved to engage and find practical pathways to act.

The error is that people believed in one-click politics, because convincing people is a lot of work. The ones who benefit most from social media are autocrats. Take a look at facebooks transparency reports to see who runs bot farms against their own people - it's autocrats. Unfortunately fb gave them the tool of their dreams.
Out of pretty much all the people I know, I can't think of any successful career not pivoting on one such fateful moment of "luck". One lucky question/answer, one fortunate encounter, one near miss. Of course we'll never know how the road not taken looks like. Any moment could actually be a pivotal one but most are very unassuming and only the memorable ones stick with us, making them feel more important.

Also, as someone who's been tested with this kind of questions (in the math and physics fields at least), I realized many times you aren't evaluated for knowing the answer but for how you go about trying to find it even if you fail.

This particular question is close to my heart as I was tested with it as a pupil in school. The teacher wrote this on the blackboard and asked me to come over and solve it (not having any prior knowledge). After a bit of fidgeting with the chalk I stared writing on consecutive lines 1, 1+1, 1+1+1 and after a few lines it dawned on me it looks like the "lower" half of a square of side n as cut by its diagonal. So I proudly concluded that the sum is n^2/2. Which was of course wrong, I forgot to add an n/2 to that since the "diagonal" is shifted right a bit. Still got top mark and maybe it was one of those moments that set me on a path. This went on through high-school, university, post graduate studies, and early career. It was only when I was knee-deep in real work that people started to care less about how I think and more about just the end result.

Preparing for this kind of question isn't cheating as long as you understood the answer.
Pretty wild that there isn't a countermeasure in place by default.

Has nobody at github/microsoft experienced a Reply All email chain yet?
Regulation proposal: Set maximum spending limit/time tied to the purchase price. The limit is tied to account and player character.

example:

1. free-to-play: $100/year.

2. other: 10×purchase price/year. For a $50 game the maximum spending is $500 per year.

This would not set hard limit. It would only mandate up-front investment related to the amount of in-game spending. A Whale who spends $10k a year would have to pay $1k to get started.

I think this would effectively kill addictive impulse for people who can't afford it. At the same time it allows games to create expensive games.
This is overblown to blame the Youtuber - his statement was sufficient, and I say this as someone who also hates shitty PRs from the very low quality "tech talent" from certain geographies.

The bigger issue here is that there are literally millions of people in the developing world, often mistaken as being entirely from South Asia, but actually include most developing countries, where tech is suddenly accessible for them as a potential road out of poverty wages and up the earning ladder, but there is no quality control whatsoever for them or their learning.

I don't know what the solution is, but if the internet is truly for the masses and is connecting the world, then guess what, this is part of our world as well.

Why is that Blizzard’s problem?
Compare that to a Mac Studio or a Mac Mini. They are small and mostly silent. It’s hard to make them be hearable. Compare that to the tower under my desk, which has a lot going on to make it quieter and, yet, I can still tell when it’s idling and when it’s doing some deep thinking by the sound it makes.
>But in the 1990s we were travelling without moving through the aggregate of everybody's music collection that they already paid for.

It sounds as if you are claiming that because person X already paid for a CD, everybody else connected to them via Napster has a right to listen to that music. If so, I disagree. People complain that Spotify et al. underpay musicians. Piracy pays them zero.

Meanwhile: I pay once for all the music on Spotify; I can listen to stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T-H-fVlHE0 which was never available pirated; anything I want starts playing within seconds; and it's conveniently provided to me on my phone, along with playlists that regularly find me music and podcasts I like. Which aspect was better in the 2000s?
> (Of course, JP Morgan likely dominates both at this point, but they don't have to).

So what happens if someone comes along and stakes $X Billion and becomes the majority stakeholder? Do you _really_ think that JP Morgan will just sit and let that happen? That they won't fork? That Deutsche Bank will continue to stand by the ledger if a group of anonymous traders from China become the majority stake?

It's a technical solution to a political problem.
The vast majority of users do not spent anything. This is no problem for the game developers, as they can serve as cannon fodder for the few who do invest money.
That seems like a problem with those parents, not blizzard or the government.
In our distributed systems lecture, my professor started the introduction lesson with some descriptions on 'what is a distributed system.' The one by Lamport was by far the most quoted in exams, as it is the most memorable, because it is funny.

After watching Lamports introduction to TLA+, I got the impression he's just a really funny guy (while being a genius, too).
I've only seen some articles and no solid research but every indicator is WFH is just as if not more productive than in person work.

If you think about it, it makes a certain amount of sense, workers have more hours in the day due to no wasted transport time, and can do work ad-hoc when ideas strike even outside regular buisness hours. Also meetings are less disruptive, you don't have to get up to go to a specific room and wait for everyone to show up, you open the link and can keep doing minor tasks while you wait or evwn during the meeting if it's not that critical for you.

Really working in an office has a lot of wasted time you can imagine lessening or outright disapearing when done remote.
>we only know of nucleoside triphosphates as compounds created by living organisms

That is your claim. But the article claims, and I'm not saying it's true, I also am not an expert… but it's an interesting claim:

"many proposals are emerging describing how triphosphates might have been made on the Hadean Earth"
I happened to be hit by the Github incident. The worst is not the guy who made the mistake (happens) but the fools who hit Reply-All to first complain about spam and then to yell at each other to stop hitting Reply-All, making the problem exponentially worse ... facepalm

Oh and one has even posted a "goatse" image there ...
You're off by a factor of 1000: 150 ms / 100 ns = 150e-3 / 100e-9 = 1.5 million. So it's even worse!

i only questioned the usefulness of teaching 5-12 year olds a concept no 5-12 year old needs

unless they want to enter workforce at 13 (god save them from this)!
That’s really awesome!
It's even more frustrating, because the game is good. I really enjoyed playing the first 30 levels or so. Good story, good controls, very satisfying gameplay. If I could pay $60 and just have a "classic" Diablo on my phone, I might. But I won't spend a cent on consumable in-app purchases.

It is so sad that "make good game, sell it" model no longer works. It's all a wonky curve of "free - couple of dollars - hundreds and thousands of dollars".
I agree - the UI is quite granular. Many users will land there just wanting to get a change checked in, so will likely rush the decision.

How about least privilege first, then try a build cycle and re-assess any missing permissions flagged up?
Yes, but it does hint that spontaneous emergence of basic life building blocks is a more and more viable hypothesis.

And that, given similar conditions, other worlds could develop ecosystems analogue to ours.
That is the chaotic aspect of Objective Reality.

State is one thing, representing that state is another (we now hesitate to use the word “meta”).

Disposition toward that state is both a strategic imperative and the source of inferential bias.

What you seek are Authorities of Truth.

Like Wiki on blockchain consensus which both empirically records events in time series and mob debates their validity or relevance.

Human cognition is not as clean and clear regarding “facts” as you optimistically presume.

Information is the removal of uncertainty (or the resolve of potential to disparate state if you accuse me of anthropomorphism.)

If it does not “remove uncertainty” it is not information.

Information is not objective, it’s value lies in the mind of the evaluator.

The Truth is a perturbation of Objective Reality. The “truth” is the representation in mind. “Integrity” is the measure of consistency between these two.

And one more thing. The “democratic” mob is NOT a qualified curator of truths, only a barometer of widely disseminated integrity (which usually comes by undeceiving the self rather than agreeing with one and other.)
Yes and no, they’re collectibles and there is a market. So not exactly the same but I see the point in a way.
Game is coded horribly, nearly no server-side checks on gameplay actions.

“The system in the parable is clearly more just”

Only if you believe “need” should trump all other considerations. One can argue whether that is the way. I’d say it’s quite an assumption to build on.

Wow, what an overreaction.
Correct! Curious to see how long this story remains unflagged, because flagging of any posts showing errors in official COVID claims tend to get killed very quickly here.

Here are even more popular-but-unpopular opinions (facts).

We did not "all" think vaccines would have a meaningful impact on transmission. Sadly they never had any impact on transmission. A whole bunch of studies have measured the SAR split by vaccine status and there's no difference, that's not something specific to Omicron. Although health authorities claimed they would reduce transmission, they had no scientific basis on which to do so because the trials didn't test transmissibility, or even impact on severe illness or death. They only tested reduction in PCR positivity rates (and only symptomatic, iirc).

People who were already checking the claims of public health authorities against the trial data knew this from day one, which is one reason so many people opted out of the vaccination process: if the vaccines are so great, why are they making unsupported claims with 100% confidence? Why lie?

Sadly the answer seemed to be not for medical reasons, but because public health had become obsessed with total vaccination regardless of need. The means had become the end. Telling people the vaccines reduced transmission manipulated huge numbers of people into taking them, even if they weren't in any risk groups and knew it, just out of a sense of obligation to others. And then telling people vaccines reduced transmission enabled them to implement vaccine mandates by claiming the unvaccinated were dangerous to the vaccinated.
Good. Work from office should really be made illegal in order to protect the environment and public health. Exceptions can be made of course for occupations where physical presence is actually needed. This madness has to end. Using very finite resources in order to transport people’s bodies daily, while polluting the air and contributing to a climate disaster for no good reason is absurd.
It's interesting that doing competitive math makes it really easy to spot these kinds of problems and guess at their "true" difficulty. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that "this problem is short" or "the solution is short" would ever fly as a measure of how easy a problem is, but I assume that a system that is intended to encode racism doesn't need a whole lot of logic behind it…
I think you missed the point of the second sentence.

It's like saying the phrasing on the Chinese Exclusion Act is unfortunate. It's not the phrasing that's unfortunate, but the history of excluding Chinese. These questions were designed to allow screeners to discriminate, and were named after the group designed to be kept out.

Heh, in a feature we're about to release, infinite scrolling was indeed dictated by the programmers, as it makes the API cleaner and somewhat more scalable ("incremental loading of data with an opaque next page token" as opposed to "go to page 80 and I don't care if it takes forever/complex archirecturally to make it fast/consistent"). We could have added a "load more" button but it looks somewhat terrible on mobile.
What’s stopping someone from tagging everyone with “buy the hot new $SCAM cryptocurrency”? I’m amazed this wasn’t abused before.
The radeon vii was a great choice for that while it was on sale. I'm going to be quite sad when mine die.
Thats true. This is extra scummy. I was just talking about the cost to max out mobile gacha games.
