As somebody with no dog in this fight (I live in the south east), I'd tend to agree with the Boston take.

Simply being in the orbit of MIT can have that effect, along with everything else you listed.

The issue with NYC from a perception as a hub of any one thing is that it's just so big with so many different things going on that tech just seems like one of many things going on there simply because of all the people.

That Bloomberg article is a really interesting experiment in cherry-picking data: it focused specifically on deaths, and only on deaths due to specific causes that helped its case. Yes, New York has fewer homicides and car crash deaths than rural towns, but if you look at most other data, which is arguably more relevant, the opposite story shows up.

I'm not that worried about being murdered. Murders tend to happen between people with a relationship. There are very few random murders. In cities, gangs do the murdering, and outside of cities, it is generally crimes of passion. The NYPD is very, very aggressive about going after gangs and murders. This is at the cost of controlling other types of crime.

The car crashes are easy to explain: NYC is designed so that you drive very slowly, and there is a 25 mph speed limit everywhere a pedestrian might be. Crashes in NYC are almost always non-fatal. It's not that they don't happen. They are just non-fatal.

Personally, I am worried about being mugged or harassed, and that is extremely common in NYC compared to most places. It also happens to be something that happens between unrelated people. That is why I moved out of NYC after having been attacked once and witnessing 2 thefts in 4 years, and that is why the statistics cited in that op-ed are completely useless.

No, it's a Seattle thing. One of my major peeves with this city (and entire region) is how hard it is to find places that close later than 9pm, even in the summer when the days are really long.

I think the outdoors culture here is so strong that people don't really care about having things to do late at night in the city.

This is funny. The Indo European (and hence Slavic) roots for eyes typically have an /o/, and this glyph is round like the eye, so it seems like this character and others linked in that article are just people making little cartoonish drawings on writings involving descriptions of eyes.

Freedom of Thought vs. Freedom of Spirit
What do you make of the fact that the modern liberal value of "Freedom of thought" emerged from a theological and metaphysical view that idealized "Freedom of spirit"? Does the former require the latter to be justified? What happens to the value of freedom of thought when freedom of spirit is no longer a rallying cry?
Don't forget parking minimums, rent control, environmental studies in excess of what is needed, and the endless town-halls full of people trying to veto change. All this just to build an apartment complex. You have to retain half the state bar to build anything around me and consequences are evident in the rent prices.

But in all seriousness, this has always been happening. NYC is NYC because the cost of living keeps hitting new peaks, over and over, generation after generation. The same with so many high-demand cities. That's how they got to be such massive, dense cities to begin with. We're all just riding the wave.

That's also a slippery slope of an argument. Poker players claim that they are not gambling. Early stage addicts claim they are not addicts and can stop any time. Gaming, whether the player is earning money or points, all keys in on the same addictive traits of their players. Some game devs go all in on that because it is fish in a barrel stakes for making money.
The ECASH act is so far my favorite initiative for private online payments.

Sure, but to be useful you need flow rate, at which point you're basically back to calculating volume. Gas is purchased in volume, and stored in volume. Why not keep the measurement of use as volume per time or distance?
NIMBYism. The incentive is definitely there but the issue is that existing landowners don’t want any more buildings. After all - more supply while keeping demand fixed hurts their profitability.

You need eminent domain from the government to fix this. At this point - it’s complete class warfare and landowners are fucking over many generations.
> I can tell you’ve already made up your mind

When this is your first statement following your attempted "apology", how can anyone be interested in continuing with the conversation?

> You seem to want your interlocutor to follow all the polite rules of discussion while abandoning them all yourself.

It's not about "politeness". It's about honesty. I'd rather have a honest-but-dry conversation than a pleasantly-dishonest one.

> your position (which you haven’t actually ever elaborated)

My position (if it couldn't even be called that) is that NYC is a victim of its own (relative) success compared to all the other cities in the US. The best way to get NYC to become more affordable would be to rescue other cities. There are just too many people with too much money chasing not enough houses in urban areas that are desirable, so of course the prices will go up in the places that are.

Rent control is not going to solve this. It's only going to create a privileged class that is going to cling on to their old leases. Landlords will have zero incentive to invest. Developers will have less incentive to build, and then only the existing stock will continue to be around.

It's supply that needs to be fixed. Also, it may seem counter-intuitive at first, but to fix cities in North America you need to get rid of suburbia.
I really don't like the strategy of super cooling in the morning. I prefer fresh air instead. I throw the windows open wide and let all the cool morning air in. By midmorning I'm usually starting to close those windows because the outside air is getting warmer. By mid afternoon I'm closing all those windows and turning on the AC and setting the temperature to 1 degree (Fahrenheit) cooler than the current room temperature. I've found that temperature is in the range of 78-84 degrees depending on humidity. Then the AC kicks on and removes all the humidity and makes things comfortable. In the evening when it starts cooling back down again I turn off the AC and open the windows back up.

I'm paying 50% less in cooling costs than those cooling an equivalent space as mine and I'm getting plenty of fresh air and I'm still working comfortably. Heck, today is one of those days where the highs are going to be in the low 80's and I probably won't even need to turn on my AC. In fact it's already at the high for today, 84, and it's 76 inside my house and I have a nice breeze coming through the window.

Just another way how working from home is saving me money and improving the environment.
You are conflating two different concepts here. One is "unit" which is a measure of a physical quantity (ie "GWh"). The second is the physical quantity itself ("battery storage capacity"). The relationship between the two is that a unit can be used to quantitatively describe a physical quantity ("5 GWh of battery storage capacity"). Physical quantities like "battery storage capacity" can usually be quantified in different units which can be converted to each other ("5000kWh = 5GWh = 1.8 * 10^13 J"). The unit itself ("GWh") doesn't describe precisely what physical quantity is being measured. It could be mechanical energy stored in a flywheel, the total heat output of a chemical reaction, battery storage capacity, etc.

I've been on the other side of this, hiring fake people. I'm actually going to stop using Upwork after almost 10 years. It's such a cesspool of fraud now that I can't figure out how to find the honest people.

As an example, I recently hired someone who showed his face on video and had great communication skills. Next time we did a call, he had no video and sounded totally different. It turned out to be a subcontractor impersonating him.
I think that it's a case of underutilised properties being flushed out.

No one really considers it, but in a booming market you might be more likely to have a higher percentage of underutilised properties. When the market turns, those properties that were making money just by virtue of existing now lose money. A second home or a holiday home is one example. A house being slowly renovated is another. Plain old land-banked properties, etc.

Put it this way. As the property market has boomed, the proportion of properties owned by investors has increased. Because only investors will underutilise a property (homeowners occupy it by definition), the proportion of underutilised properties increased. When the market turns, capital gains look less certain, and holding costs increase, investors try to get out. The underutilised properties get flushed out.
"Violent crime" is not a consistently defined or tracked category across cities, so it isn't comparable. The NYPD has a notoriously... loose definition of "violent crime", to the point where it counts things that no reasonable person would be thinking of when they hear that term.

For this reason, researchers typically use homocides to make comparisons, because that's consistently defined and tracked across jurisdictions, and because it's harder to manipulate those statistics when recording.

NYC - particularly Manhattan - has a much lower homocide rate than other places.
Very nice and well researched article.

I'm all in on Wasm on the medium-to-long term as I think it will eventually dominate everything (embedded, mobile and web). The comparison with JS is a bit unfair as the former has had a 20+ year head start plus billions of dollars (yes, billions) in R&D to make it as performant as possible.

I think JS is a great language/platform and I consider V8 an amazing piece of engineering, it would be on my list for the seven wonders of the digital world. Wasm will get there someday and will take the place of JS, IMO.

If the risks are cumulative, I would expect such studies will show that. If they're not, the risks would relate directly to which of 3 conditions are present. And I have to assume that there are (far) more spike proteins created in an infection than due to the mRNA vaccine as there is no reproduction in the latter case - it only expresses what it can while the mRNA "instructions" last. In the case of infections, viruses covered in spike proteins result.

I have similar memories.

The epic exploration of east Asian technology, Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China, devotes an entire volume (Vol 6, Part 5) to fermentation and food science. (The series itself is simply phenomenal.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Civilisation_in_Ch...

Canning arrived late to the scene, in the 19th century. It requires glass jars (which are re-usable), and in modern practice, lids which are replaced for each fresh batch. Prior to this, curing and fermentation were heavily relied on for long-term food storage: saurkraut, kimchee, salami, cheese, yoghurt, kefir, tofu, miso, tempeh, many forms of pickling, and of course, fermented alcohols (often employing grains or fruit).

You are confused about the economic dynamics behind high rents. There are already tens (hundreds?) of thousands of landlords around New York City and no single landlord controls more than a tiny fraction of the housing stock or has even the tiniest bit of price setting power. The problem
isn’t cartels keeping prices artificially high, it’s immense demand running up against zero new supply.

What is an internal valuation, and does Stripe actually lose anything from lowering it? My cynical experience suggests that companies usually have more to gain by lowering their valuation than they do by inflating it.

Apologies if the article already described the possible negative impacts to Stripe caused by a decreased internal valuation. I’m unable to read it since it requires a subscription I cannot afford (due to inflation of course, nothing personal to the WSJ).

I think visualization is very useful when dealing with this sort of thing, I found this stackoverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29916361 very useful, because of the ascii art for visualizing the rebase, and the mnemonic device for each "version" of a rebase (like calling the git rebase --onto w/ 3 arguments "the surgeon")
The free market of WW2 paid for the interstate highway system? Every heavy industry was commandeered by the US government and strict salary controls were implemented by the government. Households had strict quotas for what they were allowed to purchase.

Or before that? When the civilian conservation corps employed huge amounts of Americans to build Mount Rushmore and the Hoover Dam?

The decades immediately leading up to the construction of the interstate highway USA was one of the least free our market has ever been.

I wonder if there is a point that a game or other experience can become "predatory" solely focusing on the time someone spends on it regardless of monetization. To my own mind, there are many games that I can't put down for hours, sometimes missing out on sleep entirely for days. But the capitalistic part doesn't apply to me since I never play games with in-game monetization. Still, a lot of my time is sucked away by those activities (sometimes >18 hours a day), and I sometimes have to stop myself and question my priorities.

As an example, Minecraft is only a $20 one-time purchase, but free and/or open source mods made by people who are motivated by fun instead of profit have created a staggering amount of content that happens to be really addictive to someone like me. For the $20 I got the equivalent of years of content and novelty that I can never hope to fully explore.

I wonder if any given computer program that's given a colossal amount of development resources thrown behind it will ultimately come somewhere close to irresistible, and would suck away various parts of our less interesting hopes and dreams regardless of how much monetary currency the creator is expecting the user to pay. There just happens to be a motive to tack on some extra profit if the game is pseudo-irresistable, where all that time would have been "wasted" on someone's freeloading video game addiction instead. It makes me wonder if what is known as "predatory" is just a pathological explosion of what someone thinks of as a successful accomplishment (my "any given side project could one day addict us all" theory).
If you are doing a random act of kindness you might as well film it too. Is there any incentive not to film it?

Nope, licenses are paid up-front and per-seat. I think they optionally had a free tier where you could pay nothing except a royalty on your overall earnings, but I don't think that exists anymore (and even if it did, it always made sense to just buy the licenses). Broadly speaking, though, no. Unity does not offer any payment services that he would directly/indirectly benefit from. This just seems like a bizarre offhand attack at his customerbase.

They want to fight because they were displaced because of an invasion.

My comment says the war is unnecessary - and that includes the invasion. The civil war in Ukraine between the west and the separatist regions could have ended in a compromise.
Then it's a poor use of the technique, since the parent of that comment never implied otherwise, and doesn't provide enough to extract what the argument actually is. However much or little we have or haven't "solved central banking", the comment I replied to was linking textbook knowledge that agreed with its parent. So any substantive disagreement there is unclear -- hence my comment.
