There are a few items that make home ownership in the US financially advantageous:
* As others have mentioned, most US Mortgages are fixed-rate. (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15214842.2020.1...)
* You also have homestead exemptions and associated limits on property tax increases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_exemption)
* The mortgage interest deduction
* The ability to refinance with a lower rate interest rate in the future

For anyone that is not currently a home-owner, I'm afraid you're correct.

Most restaurants don't have there own delivery service.

This made me chuckle ruefully. I mean, you're not wrong.

I'd describe Discord's UI as "okay" at best. It's missing some features that were standard in chat clients from twenty years ago. But it's so much better than every other "collaboration" app out there that it looks stellar by comparison.

Made me laugh
I've checked Google Docs and Libre Office and they both use Ctrl+V for formatted paste, and Ctrl+Shift+V for unformatted paste (Libre office gives a menu to choose).

I cant check MS word as I don't have it installed, but it seems to me that Teams is closer to using the default behaviour here.
> Only certain types of restaurants did delivery, and they probably had process optimizations to make it work.

I think that a big part of that would be because certain types of food are primarily enjoyed taken-away instead of dine-in.

It wouldn’t make sense for a dine-in restaurant to have delivery staff & vehicles (which would sit idle for the most part) given the bulk of their customers dine in.

However this is exactly the problem that a restaurant-agnostic delivery service would solve. The drivers can be shared across all the restaurants in the area which not only brings delivery to restaurants who otherwise wouldn’t have it but it also theoretically makes it cheaper for the usual delivery-focused restaurants because their drivers no longer have as much downtime (as they will now be able to deliver for other restaurants in the area too).
This is impressive work: it's time consuming to set up and benchmark so many different systems!

Impressiveness of the effort notwithstanding, I also want to encourage people to do their own research. As a database author myself (I work on Apache Druid) I have really mixed feelings about publishing benchmarks. They're fun, especially when you win. But I always want to caution people not to put too much stock in them. We published one a few months ago showing Druid being faster than Clickhouse (https://imply.io/blog/druid-nails-cost-efficiency-challenge-...) on a different workload, but we couldn't resist writing it in a tongue-in-cheek way that poked fun at the whole concept of published benchmarks. It just seems wrong to take them too seriously. I hope most readers took the closing message to heart: benchmarks are just one data point among many.

That's why I appreciate the comment "All Benchmarks Are Liars" on the "limitations" section of this benchmark -- something we can agree on :)

I think they used many nice words and in the right order, but the impact this will have on the rate of good drugs being approved is close to zero.

That's both because the technology itself doesn't really produce good leads, but because even if you find good leads, there are many other high probability reasons your drug will fail that have nothing to do with its safety and efficacy, and no ML model that exists today can address that.

Maybe it should, but whether this is true or not has nothing to do with whether people are outraged or hostile or lack empathy or any of the ways you're trying to paint those who disagree with you.

Some people happen to have different standards than you do, they disagree with you, maybe they're wrong and you're right, great... either way the objection is not with your position, right or wrong, but rather with your perception of those who disagree with you.

The irony in this conversation is that you talk as if because I disagree with you then I have no empathy, I am confused, I am outraged, I am this, I am that... and yet I think if you were to objectively assess the tone of the posts made in this comment chain, it's actually you who is refusing to understand other peoples points of view (lack of empathy), it's you who is confused by not disassociating a disagreement from attributing intentions to those you disagree with, and it's you whose posts are written with quite a degree of outrage.
It's useful - it's doing the docking calculation as a statistical fit. There are a number of ML models such as fitting small-molecule structures to high-level theory calculations to make conformer search go faster. However, the pose is just a prediction - the scoring function has to estimate how good the pose is and hopefully the numbers are valid comparing structures and poses against each other (the dreaded what do I make next question). It can provide insight into what's interacting in the binding, which suggests changes to the medchemist. It might also help with understanding why curious results might appear.
That’s not a bonus, that’s the entire point. Regulations hamstring companies and then deny them the ability to even comply with the regulations because other regulations have hamstrung the supply chain after regulations forced everyone onto vulnerable supply chains in the first place.

So instead of people getting rich by innovating and making other people’s lives better, the people getting rich are the ones taking bribes (“campaign contributions” they get to keep forever) for reducing the impact of those regulations.

> Again, 404 does not mean that the universe contains no such resource.

It means that the server did not find a current representation of the resource and that the server accepts responsibility for providing an authoritative answer to whether it exists (if the latter is not the case, the most correct response is 421.) Aside from that and the combination of being unwilling to provide a default representation, not having a representation consistent with the Accept header provided by the client, and preferring not to distinguish this case from non-existence with a 406 response (which, like the situations to which 421 applies, is an edge case), the reason for a resource not being found is overwhelmingly that it does not, in fact, exist.

It is true that there are some other things that a 404 might mean, but “does not exist” is not only within the space of things covered by “Not Found”, it is by far the most common reason for it.
Remember the dream of modeling - get to market 3 months sooner and you make 1-2B USD. Or, defend a patent or help evade/break one. For blockbuster drugs, 90 days off the multi-year drug development process is serious coin. And we'll need such speed when paxlovid starts encountering resistance.
> A type that proves that all values that inhabit it are sorted would also be nice. But if either the language doesn’t support dependent types or it is too difficult to prove then a contract could be used instead (again: not as a replacement).

This is really easy in a dependently typed language. If something is hard to prove by construction you can do

sort: List -> List

which sorts a list without proving it to be sorted, and then write a function

isSorted: List -> Maybe SortedList

then just get your safe sort function

safeSort: List -> SortedList
safeSort l = case sort l of { Nothing -> panic; Just x -> x }

Of course, you don't even need dependent typing to do this. If SortedList is a new nominal type and you trust your issorted function, everything works out.

What’s the point of contracts? Can’t you use tests for that?
The one recommendation about going with cheap sunglasses is getting polarized ones. Good polarization is practically half the difference between the ultra cheap and the really fancy sunglasses in my experience. Decent polarization really cuts down on glare. There are several brands out there making pretty affordable pairs of glasses with polarization filters on them. I get mine for ~$35, often last me at least a year or so.

Before that (Android <5.0 times), you'd have a WebView strictly tied to the OS version and not upgradable if OS goes EOL. Even if device had Chrome 60, webview was based on Chromium 28-30 (depending on manufacturer). With no flexbox etc. As a dev, it was a MASSIVE pain to develop webview integrations with this. On par with IE8. Being able to have the webview upgraded without upgrading OS is a major win.

[Note there are two things: 1) stupid apps putting a generic in-app browser inside the app - that's annoying; and 2) apps using a webview with a bridge between native app and a website, injecting some stuff and properly integrating the embedded website; something impossible to do by opening a website in regular browser]
We are both married with kids, so I definitely have to manage my time correctly.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear, we were thinking of doing contract work until we built up enough money, and then quit the contracting business and work full time on the startup.

> Maybe the consequences of that in terms of individual wealth ownership are unpalatable to you, but the alternative would result in an option that is net significantly worse for society.

The alternative? Surely there are more than two ways of organizing society: (i) one with successful entrepreneurship but large wealth inequality, and (ii) presumably one without successful entrepreneurship along with various other characteristics that make that society clearly "net" worse than it would be in (i).

For example, I could imagine a tax regime which resulted in a cap on individual wealth at, say, 1% of GDP. Or 5%. Or 0.1%. Or ...

It's not clear to me that there's an unambiguous demarcation between only two types of societies, and one which is observed across all possible policy or economic schemes.

In this context you would also have to include discoverability of URLs.

In this philosophy you would not suppose how employees are named and would ask for a list of valid employees URLs to a URL previously returned by `/api/v1/`.

In this way you only ever call URLs that the api provided you with, so that you are not expected to find out by trial and error whether `/api/v1/employees/100` exists or not; the api itself has already told you this and a 404 is the response to trying to build your own URLs by hand.

Oats are of particular concern. In the US, they often spray Roundup on oats to prepare the oats for harvest. This kills the oats and gets them dry enough for the equipment. Farmers often don't own the harvesting equipment, so there crops must be ready when the equipment is.

Organic oats should not have glyphosate, but most brands are not tested for it.

I know from my own experience, if I eat something like Quaker oatmeal, I will get problems with my gut, but if I eat oats that are certified glyphosate free, I have no problems.

Yes, Dave Smith was behind the new Prophet.

And I am sure that long experience goes deeper into Sequential’s talent pool.

Having veteran leadership who hat been through it all before might be why the new Prophet won’t follow the old.

The current Sequential is also an established company, so it is better positioned to launch new products, negotiate with suppliers and customers and to sell gear at higher prices even if not at higher margins meaning it needs fewer sales to survive.

The reality is all mid-big US cities need:

- 100x more livable sqft, so it can be affordable for everyone.

- 3000sqft condos that rival lux family homes in the suburbs for space.

- All building should become mixed use. Parking underground, retail on street level, offices on the first N floors of the building, and residential higher up for the views.

- More vertical green space on the buildings.

- More horizontal green space between the buildings.

I'm also partial to building walk/bike ways above current roads such that roads are covered / "underground" i.e. don't cause noise or pedestrian deaths. Retail would be located where people walk.
Schitt's good [1] if that what you already have. Unless you made your purchase a decade ago or feel dissatisfied with the product in some way, Schitt isn't a bad choice. One plus is that Schitt also provides paid upgrades for some of its higher end boxes. My "issue", for lack of better phrasing, is that Schitt is not the most optimal in terms of performance per dollar.

> That's like saying everything is doable in assembly

Dependent types are not doable in assembly though. Assembly has no notion of types. The claim that all languages are equivalent because they're turing complete has absolutely no relevance here. While true in terms of capability, the syntax and semantics of languages do make them different. One can add a contract library to idris. You cannot do that to assembly code because asembly code as a library. Such a thing is nonsensical since assembly's compilation model has no notion of type checking.

It does not need to be painful. There are pens that require far less friction to write than ballpoints or pencils, namely fountain pens and rollerballs. Good technique helps too, e.g. writing with your whole arm instead of your fingers and your wrist only.

Unfortunately, most people in Europe seem to be done with fountain pens after the first few years of elementary school. I am not sure about the rest of the world, but I would guess that it is similar.

It's intentionally a hybrid of D-D and D-He3. The output of D-D is half He3, and half tritium which decays to He3 with a 12-year half-life. So the only external input is actually deuterium.

I've seen Helion and other say that the combined reaction will release 6% of its energy as neutron radiation. That's low enough to skip a heat cycle, which is the real benefit since it substantially lowers your capital cost. That's why Helion estimates a cost starting at $0.01/kWh, and less as they get into mass production.

I know you can do it - but not as dynamically as I want, too. Maybe I'm not getting something, but I don't see the `for_each` or `count` equivalent in `generate_hcl` [0].

Also, stacks are predefined, not dynamic. With CDKTF, I can generate any number of stacks with one piece of code. In addition, I can define stack dependencies - let's say, my dev database stack depends on dev IAM stack - something that Terraform does not do and developers need to remember the order of `terraform apply` across stacks.

I get that privacy vs law and order issues get people worked up because they probe at a difference in values. And perhaps in many contexts reasonable people can take different abstract positions.

But with Ring etc, I think society gets a really poor law and order benefit in exchange for the privacy cost. We should at least be demanding that if our privacy is invaded we get something out of it.

I live in a dense city where minor property crimes are notoriously common. Last year, after multiple package thefts, one neighbor bought a blink camera for the building entrance. It recorded every time me or my neighbors entered or exited, and it recorded when later my neighbor had yet more packages stolen (thieves easily got through a locked gate and front door). But what do you do then? The cops aren't going to do anything with a video of a guy in a hoodie stealing $200 worth of goods. That stuff is never going to be recovered. Nextdoor in our area has tons of these videos. My neighbor still had to learn to be proactive and defensive. A cost in privacy was paid, but no reduction in crime was enjoyed.

Here are some proposals for potentially more equitable arrangements:

- if the police can have at-will access to our cameras, we should get at-will access to their bodycams. No more of this "10 days after a shooting, family members of the deceased were able to watch key clips of footage selected by the PD"

- if the police claim that having access to our cameras makes them more efficient in solving crimes, then let them put numbers on that efficiency so we can reduce police budgets accordingly

- if the police claim that having access to our cameras makes lets them solve more crimes, then anyone coming forward with footage of a crime should be able to demand that the police make a credible effort to investigate. Oh, not enough resources? My city is in the top 10 in per-capita police spending in the US, and I see _so many_ cops doing absolutely nothing all the time. If I'm going to live in a creepy surveillance state we could at least have an industrious and effective police force.
