To be fair part of the cost of housing is that Single Residence Occupancy is pretty much illegal to build anywhere, except as hotels.

We could reasonably allow hotels to be converted into SROs with communal kitchens (or room + board with staffed cafeteria style kitchens), but as you said that goes against zoning code.

You could use TCP/IP on Windows computers in 1994, nearly 30 years ago. You could still use that same 10baseT ethernet card that was most likely in it and use a modern Cat6e cable to connect it to a modern 1 gig switch.

So you wouldn't even have to mess with floppy drives if you could get the software for networking. You could just upload it.

So I read through this, and it appears pretty clear that stripe holds all the normal transaction data on your behalf, and they store just the link to the transaction. But they mention removing the stripe charge I'd from their records so I guess that could mean they would have no idea how to respond to disputes, hence lose them all.

Maybe that is fine, just a cost of doing business for them. But it is definitely atypical. Never heard of someone who would be completely unable to respond to disputes before.

I recently posted this on my blog about why it's so hard to get an experience software engineer to respond to a recruiter: https://andrewrondeau.herokuapp.com/why_software_engineers_d...

But there are a few things that I didn't put in that article:

In my case, with 20 years experience, it's critical that I am not hired as a possession, or a trophy member of a team. It always works out poorly when someone pulls me onto a team because of my pedigree but tries to manage me like a junior developer, or someone who needs a lot of hand holding.

What's critical is that I will have a high degree of control in my job. This ranges from control of my day-to-day workflow, control of my development environment, and control of the architecture of the thing I am working on. I also seek to have some amount of control over the work of more junior developers.

Without that kind of control coming in the door, I really won't bother applying, because every time I've started a new job with an existing team, I've always had to fight to clean up messes. These messes will usually make a project fail, yet for various reasons management needs a lot of convincing to fix the messes.
What's reality shaping and why will it be a concern?
Everything mentioned here so far has been pretty unconvincing imho. Forums can be ok, where you are communicating directly with the person who used the product. Any site containing affiliate links has a conflict of interest since they get paid when you buy stuff. It's amazing how some of them rationalize it to say they don't have such an incentive.

> If you're into headphones, Crinacle's site/YT are on a completely different level than any other review site.

Audio Science Review was posting deep-dive technical reviews of amps, dacs, daps, iems, and headphones, years before crinacle made a post on headfi, and I say that as a member of the latter since ‘02. Many audio engineers and enthusiasts have attempted to remove the “reality distortion field” that permeates the prominent audiophile communities (headfi, audiogon) for years; ASR was one of the first to successfully to so (excluding sites dedicated to specialized equipment).
The post itself was, though, as the gp post wrote.

Anti-union is anti—labor; to say otherwise is to be ignorant of the history of labor in the USA during the 20th century.

Unionization generally does not make it harder to get a foot in the door, so long as you’re willing to join the union. Unions want more members; members are their source of power and money.

Is a union appropriate for all jobs? Not necessarily! But construction work? Yes please.
So? We're talking about practical effectiveness here. The difference really only matters if you only have one chance to filter the air, like the filter in a ventilation system bringing air into a cleanroom (the article goes into this).

Since the air purifier intakes and exhausts in the same space (meaning filtered air gets re-filtered), all the slightly worse filter means it that you'd need to run it for a couple more minutes to get the room down to a similar concentration of particulate per unit volume... So the difference in particulate concentration would likely not be anywhere near 10x at steady state, it would be much smaller (but depends how much air leaks into the room from outside, the particulate content of the outside air, the volume of air you're getting through the purifier per unit time, etc.)

My other favourite is “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”
The challenge with picking an air purifier is everyone's situation is different given the reason for purification, room(s), price, and maintenance costs. Someone who has allergies vs pets vs volatile chemicals all need something very specific, so the BS one size fits all wirecutter recommendation would have you believe it's the best. Unless you can talk to a real expert who matches up the model(s) you need, reading reviews and YT is pretty much worthless. In the world of purifiers, you definitely get what you pay for.
Right, sprinklers instead of multiple egress would make sense (or even allowing builds with either a ton of egress or sprinklers). But as it exists today, if the codes require both, it just adds cost for very little marginal safety benefit.

SFMS Global: An alternative to SWIFT from India for cross border transactions
His arguments are, paraphrased:

1. It hurts nature.

2. It's too expensive and destroys existing jobs.

3. It's unlikely that it's better than the current tech.

And that he won't fall for the "propaganda campaign" that says otherwise.

What I find super fascinating here is that the arguments back then and now are...extremely similar.

Look at any cutting-edge tech - EVs, crypto, etc. - and you find the same arguments rehashed in different ways. E.g. EVs hurt nature because of battery disposal issues, crypto uses a ton of energy for a slower database.

There are two major pieces of legislation [1][2] that have been enacted in the last few years that have eliminated any expectation of privacy and security in Australia.

The AABill introduced warrants that can be handed down without judicial oversight that compel the recipient (individual or institution) to grant (or, critically, develop the means to grant) read access to any system to the government; while simultaneously acting as a gag order preventing disclosure of the warrant's existence. Violating this gag order would incur jail time.

The IDBill introduced warrants that allow the government to "disrupt data by modifying, adding, copying or deleting data in order to frustrate the commission of serious offences online" and further allows them to impersonate the online profiles of a person deemed significant to a criminal investigation.

Both of these bills were rushed through parliament with minimal opportunity for public comment. Where public comment (from the legal, tech, and human rights arenas) was made, it was universally negative. We have just ousted the government that drove these bills, but the new government (supposedly considerably more left leaning) supported both these bills with minimal opposition and has made no public plans to repeal or amend this legislation.

A previous Prime Minister once said (not in regards to these particular laws): “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.”

I have had the same problem as you. All I want is the possibility to view other people's posts and zoom on the pictures.

The part I never saw discussed anywhere is how the f()ck was Instagram planning to "verify " my identity with a picture when I never uploaded anything?! What are they gonna compare the picture to?

I personally gave up on it and just bought an account online. I don't know how they did it but the companies selling accounts to failed influencers apparently figured out how to make them look legit. No clue how they do it because even linking my real cell number got me blocked in less than a week (I have had this number since before fakebook was founded btw)

Also, what the point of being so aggressive about verifying the accounts of people who don't post/comment/like anything and only view a handful of posts per day? I would understand it if viewing posts was possible without an account, but that's no longer the case. They force you to make an account just to view public posts.
Sorry, you’re still missing the point.

If you are taking air, running it once through a filter, and using the air that comes out for an application that needs very few particles, then a 99.99% filter is “10x” as efficient as a 99.9% filter in the sense that the air coming out will have 1/10 as many particles. For example, a 99% efficient face mask is “10x” as efficient as a 90% efficient mask (assuming both fit perfectly, which they don’t, although a PAPR approximates a perfect fit).

But an air purifier doesn’t do this at all. It continuously sucks in air, removes particles from it, and sends the filtered air right back into the room to mix with all the other air. The performance of a 95% filter in this context is barely distinguishable from that of a hypothetical 100% filter. Your characterization would have the 100% air purifier being “infinitely” more efficient.

I'm a senior engineer and lead developer with 16 years experience.

>Take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing

Yeah, I'm not doing that. I don't feel like spending four hours doing unpaid work in my free time, nor do I really feel like setting up a dev environment on my personal computer in the first place. It's probably actually more than four hours too and my time is valuable.

I am extremely confident that I have no problem getting a job without doing "homework" and I get bombarded by recruiters as is. So I'll skip you. Plus this is before you even know what the offer even is!

You simply aren't going to get many actual, good senior engineers to jump through your hoops.
It's a user experience thing. Too often product designers (myself especially) think that a user should remember/do an action/etc. However, I believe most failures are design failures VS user errors and that a better designed system could/should strive to fix them.

So, yes, I could use a Todo list or some other solution to remind myself. But that inherently assumes this rises to the level of neurally important... which trying out a new tool rarely is.

That's why I offered a marketing/growth idea to better help passers-by remember to try it out in a super clean UX way that integrates with their workflow.
So, who would still show up for work if they didn't pay money?

Jira's core positioning is huge companies with complex organizations that will be willing to adjust tooling to their needs. Sure small and middle size companies can be happy with it too, but they're far from being the main profit center.

At that level, there isn't much competition. It costs a lot to develop a product that does everything and throws in the kitchen sink. It doesn't make sense for a startup, Open Source project could fit the bill (bugzilla ?) but they'd still need a service providing company, probably some corporate backing for the contracts etc.

Basically, JIRA is the Microsoft (or Oracle?) of the field, and any other company wanting to fight that turf would need incredibly deep pockets with an upfront investment that would only be recouped way way down the line, if they ever make it that far, and fighting JIRA would mean lower margins than if they dominated the market alone. Overall that doesn't look like a sane bet in any shape or form.
> I can assure you that they are not, at least not in the US.

That's not really the case, and I assume that's probably good news for you since you seem to be a liberal.

The vast majority of non-democratic institutions in the US lean heavily liberal: media, academia, and tech companies are all very liberal. The current SCOTUS is the only major exception.

It might not remain like this forever though, because they are alienating a good chunk of the population.
> Laws from what country?

The US.

> OP's comment was trying to argue that "the country of jurisdiction has veto power". My question was "which country has jurisdiction over a distributed application running in thousands of independent computers spread around the world?"

The US. No, it doesn't matter where you live, it's the US. As Bandit Keith says, every country in this world belongs to America. (Except for a few like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.)

> It's not about the individuals, what I am arguing is that the service itself can not be stopped.

It can continue, but this is a Pyrrhic victory, ie there's no way this could work out in the real world that anyone would be happy about.

Imagine if someone puts child porn in your immutable distributed database. Is anyone getting away with it merely because it can't be deleted? No, now the service is illegal for everyone, forever.

More mild real example is crypto exchanges banning coins that were transferred out of a coin mixer in the last few transactions. Which is something they have done, and will do more of:

> There is no one who can remove a contract that is deployed on a blockchain, so there is no way that a judge "can find someone to do something about it..."

But they can! Judges are more powerful than you and more powerful than computers. The mere fact that you can't technically fulfill the order makes everything /worse/. Whoever they find is in contempt until they find some way out of doing something impossible; better to have had admin capabilities in the first place.

> The main reason so many developers are attracted to "web3" is because of its "permissionless" nature.

Well, or because a16z is giving them money to do it. I don't agree that not getting prosecuted is proof it's fine; you need to get prosecuted and be found not guilty, get an SEC no-action letter, etc.

Unionization reduces turnover, which makes it harder to get a job in the unionized industry. Compare getting a job as a Port of LA longshoreman ($140,000 year with benefits) vs getting a job as a Starbucks barista.

It also reduces the rate at which industries expand, which further increases the difficulty of securing a job in the industry.

Deciphering Bitcoin Blockchain Data by Cohort Analysis
There used to be a tool called, IIRC, "firebreather" that was a multicast image broadcaster for booting clusters of systems. I did a search and couldn't find any reference to it now. An associate used it to boot hundreds or thousands of systems back in the early 2000s, it would take a minute or two.

Basically: The systems would PXE boot the bootloader (or maybe it was burned locally to the boot ROM or similar, I don't recall). Then firebreather would spray the kernels and associated boot data over multicast to all the machines at once. Any that were lagging behind or missed packets, would catch them the next time around, firebreather would spray the images a few times or something.
I think the question that comes to mind, is why focus on the software side so much?
