>"The NYC crime rate varies wildly by neighborhood so I don't think its very useful to compare city-wide crime stats. For example, the felony assault rate is literally 10x higher in parts of the Bronx than on the UES. If you live and work in safer neighborhoods the city will appear to be very safe to you."

This makes no sense. It's a mobile city. You can live on the UWS but have to go downtown to see a doctor, or work in midtown but commute in from the Bronx or Queens to go to work. The vast majority do not live and work in the same neighborhood let alone work and live in the same nice and safe neighborhood.

>"Anecdotally I lived in Chelsea and worked in Union Square for a few years and never witnessed any real crime, violent or otherwise."

Not only is that a walking commute but there is literally not a single bad block between anywhere in Chelsea and Union Square.

>"The neighborhoods in a city you pass through on a day to day basis really matter in terms of defining your experience."

Yes exactly, where do you think all of the service workers that are back bone of the city travel through on their commute, often at night? Hint, it's not Chelsea.
It only makes the options less valuable if they are actually offering a liquidity event, otherwise it is actually advantageous to employees as any new option grants (both new hire and refreshers) are delineated in dollars, so a lower valuation means they get more of them.

I get that this might not align with the perspective of their employees, especially if they skew young and their expectations were shaped by tech stock price dynamics of the 2010s. A lot of folks haven't yet come to terms with the new normal. From an ISO/RSU earning employee's perspective, it's better for prices to correct quickly and completely so you can start getting new grants at more reasonable valuation with real upside.

Don't keep crap you don't need or don't expect to ever use, especially if you don't have space for it. Find a computer museum/tech center/someone who appreciates old computers and donate them. If you can't find that, well, it's time to call your garbage disposal company to schedule an extra pickup.
> This is downright dystopic and people don't get it. A countrys exceptional situation where a they get a new leader which is not being democratically decided by the people, but a minority of Tories that have the time to read "barbs" on Twitter.

That's not dystopian, it's just how that system of government works. Literally no system will satisfy everyone, and direct democracy has its own well-known flaws.

For what it's worth, a lot of US liberals are currently fetishising parliamentary systems like the UK's.

As someone who grew up in NYC, the only lasting appeal to me is family and specific ethnic culture that is much less in every city in the US that isn't NYC.

The apartment I grew up in, in lower manhattan, today would cost more than 20-30 times what my parents paid for it in the 90s, and it wasn't a nice apartment. There was no laundry in the unit, it faced a dark courtyard, the tempurature of the apartment was never that comfortable, had yearly huge bug infestations, but it was in a great location and was about 5 rooms more or less.

I think people just romanticize a life different than the one they grew up with. I certainly miss some aspects of the city culturally, but life on the west coast, I've had considerably better living arrangements ever since I've graduated college than the one I grew up in, and my parents were both professionals with graduate degrees, it's even worse for a lot of other people.
I also wish this were in core posgres, but if you use a build tool like DBT you can enable this type of thing.
If you count the time for opening an exchange account and doing kyc, you should do the same when you talk about your bank. You only have to open the exchange account once just like you do for your bank. After that it's definitely cheaper and faster to send crypto. Whether or not it's as secure depends on what bank we are comparing to.

Majority is a word that can be both singular and plural. When referring to a collective group it is usually singular:

Example: "The majority of HN readers doesn't see any value in reading about fucking grammar in a thread about user interfaces."

When majority is used to describe a collection of individuals, it should be plural:

Example: "The majority of people who care about grammar, also usually care about properly capitalizing and punctuating their sentences."

I think, fundamentally, the problem is that there is a highly speculative market (real-estate) attached to a basic needs market (housing).

I think of myself as right-of-center, but think George was more or less spot on w.r.t. land.

I wonder if there is a solution in banning rent itself? i.e. force owners to transfer a % of ownership equal to rental fees received from tenants and allow them to discount improvements against that.
Isn't effectively punishing customers unwilling to pay for premium games highly ethical though?
> any accommodation

That's an exaggeration. The alternative to airbnb is not no accommodation, it's better-regulated and therefore more expensive accommodation. Regulations force tourists to bear the costs of their trip (hotel taxes, etc.) and give the city some pricing power to control quantity of tourism.
Yes, but why is this better than leaving the biomass in the field and perhaps doing some soil building techniques?

You also need to hire some farm kids or pay for some scholarships to get interns. Some of the problems you described solving over months would have been trivially solved by someone with farm experiences.

You’d really benefit from going to farm auctions, finding one of these, taking it apart, and adapting the mechanisms to your purposes. https://youtu.be/aYv8aDRv998

As someone who currently lives in Philly… yeah, I feel this. I love being able to get around on foot and by transit, but Philly is still a pretty car-centric place compared to what I’ve seen of NYC, and I wish it weren’t.

That plus making it easier/safer to get around by bike/scooter/etc. That’s something even NYC doesn’t seem to do well; have to look at international peers to see good examples of that.
Yes, reading about holocaust denial is just so frustrating in monospace.
Crypto IS a subset of fintech.
The core mechanics of Pokemon are arguably the battles and catch'em'all. Pokemon Go is only a Pokemon game if you don't consider battles a core mechanic. The battle system in Pokemon Go had nothing to do with the Pokemon battle system, and not much strategy or tactics to it at all.

There was no need to simplify the battles, they were already as simple as it gets: select a Pokemon, select an attack, watch the result. Easy to learn, some tactical depth, works on mobile, accessible for all ages -> no need for changes. I'd say that the Pokemon Go battles were actually no simpler, they just lacked any depth and were less accessible.
How much of the rising rents are risk premia for future cases of "government says you dont have to pay rent and cant be evicted" that we experienced in 2020-present? I'm curious if there has been a Natural Experiment comparing rent increases in places which did vs didn't have eviction moratoriums during COVID.

Most of Unity's revenue does not come from licensing the engine. It comes from their "services" portfolio, which includes advertising and other tools for monetizing, including via IAPs (although they don't take a cut of IAPs, they offer tools to help implement them and improve monetization e.g. A/B testing). I agree it was a bizarre attack at his customer base, but it makes sense given Unity's merger with Ironsource (mobile game advertising giant).

The message seems to be clear: Unity is for people who want to make games that make money, not for indies who want to create for the love of craft.

Best Practices for Securing Your Vulnerable REST APIs
Why API security is a typical issue. Most web and versatile applications are security tried sooner or later yet APIs barely stand out. This implies you might have weaknesses in your creation APIs.

For instance, suppose you have a fintech application. It does things like records, moves, and so forth. It has portable/web UIs for playing out these tasks. You could have tried all the UI ways are simply open to a validated client. Some of the time API endpoint like the one beneath is left unstable on the grounds that without acknowledgment and any programmer/bot can get it and consistently make a point to focus on a feed of late exchanges. The best way to fix these sorts of imperfections is to recognize them before they're taken advantage of.

Example endpoint with the flaw: GET: /transactions - Any bot can access it without authentication because it has a broken authentication flaw.

One easy way to detect an OWASP API2 vulnerability or security flaw in your APIs is to use open-source tools like Burp and EthicalCheck. Using these tools is very simple. All you need is your OpenAPI Specification/Swagger URL and get an instant report.

From the posted article, this sentence stands out as representative of the power of modern art to disrupt cultural values.

> When modern art was attacked for undermining American values — the Times called the Armory Show "part of the general movement, discernible all over the world, to disrupt and degrade, if not to destroy, not only art, but literature and society, too" — Quinn worked the press, giving interviews to New York papers in which he labelled unsigned attacks like that one "Ku Klux criticism."

Personally Ive never cared about the performance aspect. If you care about that, you probably shouldn't be targetting the browser in the first place, but instead a native app. What has always turned me off about WASM, is that all the tutorials Ive read say you need some kind of JavaScript shim to get it working. That doesn't feel like a first class solution to me. If I can do WASM without any JavaScript, then I am interested.
This depends on the conditions the biomass is decomposing in. A lot of carbon can be captured in the soil if handled well. No till, no spray, cover crops, and managed grazing of the cover crops can create an environment where the soil is a carbon sink and a better base for future crops.

> In NYC the most dangerous areas are pretty far out from Manhattan

East Harlem (part of Manhattan) is as dangerous as the Bronx and is very different from the Chelsea where you live. Manhattan is not a uniformly safe place. Also, NYC subway is filthy, disgusting and sometimes plain dangerous. Car traffic is worse than before COVID. There seem to be more cars on the streets, for people are avoiding subway and are using cars more often than before.
So essentially, the assertion should be “NYC has some of the safest neighborhoods in fhe country”

Which is not really the same thing at all…
You usually have to have entirely renewable generated electric powered processes in order to actually sink meaningful amounts of carbon.

And even then, to actually sink carbon the correct thing to do would be to electrify the farm machinery for a much higher carbon ROI.
I glanced at the list of certified devices. You know what's not on the list? Google's own Chromebook Pixel.[0] Which coincidentally stopped getting OS updates from Google around 2018. [1]

The specs are a little long in the tooth now (especially that battery life which was always crap), but I still love the form factor of it. I removed the write-protect screw from it a couple years back and threw Linux Mint onto it, but it would be real nice to have it as an up-to-date Chromebook again.

Lovely, beautiful, what a wonder.

That said I've been leaning towards a jazzier and improvised kind of cookery. But now I know where to look if I want to logically encode it.

For example, if anyone cares, I've recently added the pasta-beans-cheese meta recipe to my repertoire after seeing it played out a few times in different guises. I think this where the real power lies, generalizing, right?

"When you're dealing with statements about public companies that have an impact on stock prices, the SEC's antenna goes sky- high," said Stephen Crimmins, a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP and a former SEC litigator. "So the SEC's got to be looking at it, and all the more so because of Musk's recent history with the SEC."

The SEC and Twitter declined to comment. Representatives for Musk did not respond to requests for comment.
Pyrolysis is entirely endothermic - it requires applying heat to biomass. Pyrolysis yields a vapor that will combust in the presence of oxygen and release energy.
The energy released in the combustion of pyrolysis products can be used to drive further pyrolysis. A "Top Lit Updraft Gasifier" is a simple apparatus to achieve this.

Capturing the heat from pyrolysis in this way does however convert the pyrolysis vapor from hydrocarbon into combustion byproducts, namely C02. This company claims to be condensing all of these hydrocarbons, not combusting them.

For a nice and understandable example of pure pyrolysis without combustion, there is this project [0] wherein an airtight vessel is loaded with biomass, heat/energy is applied with electrical resistive heating elements. The pyrolysis occurs and the resulting vapors are captured and stored as a low pressure vapor for later use in cooking or powering internal combustion engine.

I’m having a tough time understanding how this makes sense.

Is this even close to being financially viable if there is never any such thing as carbon credits?

Put another way, are the people funding projects like this assuming there will be some kind of carbon credit system in place that will pay absurdly high prices to sequester carbon?

Additionally, I suppose you will be compensating farmers for their corn stalk bales, but you can’t take something OUT of a field long term without replacing. Those bales contain more than just carbon and the farmers will eventually have to amend the soil to compensate.

Which, if we are then living in your sky-high carbon credit world, fertilizer (and everything else) pry got MUCH more expensive.
As someone who has also lived in both places (and lives in neither of them currently), I'd have to vehemently disagree. SF is not only comparably expensive, it's also incredibly far behind in transit, far more homogeneous in all sorts of ways, much less culturally interesting and significant, and- despite my agreeing that the headlines are blowing it out of proportion- pretty clearly headed in the wrong direction overall. It has some potential advantages (weather, proximity to nature, stronger tech job market), but I relate to the OP comment a lot, and for me SF just cannot even slightly compare to NY.

Obviously this is all just my opinion! I know tons of people love it there.

Exactly, the neutron induced radioactivity is orders of magnitude lower than in fission by-products and is a minor issue.

The problem is more with neutron embrittlement that weakens the materials exposed to fast neutron radiations. For DT fusion in tokamaks the idea is to replace the inner core every year or so.

Helion claim embrittlement is not much an issue for them. First, because their neutrons are relatively slower and second, because they can choose neutron resistant materials since they do not fear plasma contamination thanks to the pulsed nature of their operation: in between pulses they vacuum the vessel before injecting the exact mix needed.

In tokamaks, the materials facing the plasma are designed primarily to avoid emissions that might contaminate the plasma, embrittlement comes as an afterthought. Also in DT fusion, it's not 6-10% of the energy released as slow neutrons, but 100% as fast neutrons.

Conclusion: there is a neutron problem but it seem minor and fairly solvable
It's not alarmist. I look at the crime stats instead of listening to propaganda.

At most it’s a description of an aspect of the project’s internal architecture. It means absolutely nothing to the end user.

I believe that the Nyxt website should have a big red banner warning people that, because it uses a rendering engine that is not conformant and, I suppose, is a work in progress, it can’t actually serve as a practical web browser.
This would save people from wasting time installing it only to find out that it doesn’t work. And remove the misleading comments about it being engine-agnostic. I really don’t understand what they hope to accomplish by forcing people to discover the true nature of their project the hard way, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The same goes for Suckless’ surf browser and others. For their part, the wekitGTK website falsely claims that their engine is “a full-featured port of the WebKit rendering engine”. As mentioned in another comment, these rendering errors do not appear in Safari, which uses WebKit.
