I think he was being kind. While not everyone would agree with this, my lived experience is that the "news" or news media is rarely useful, often stressful and significantly more bad than good in terms of its impact on my mental well-being and focus.

Having said this, there are two areas that keep people attached to the news: a concern about become uninformed or being (or being perceived as) apathetic to the problems people face in the world.

Afraid of being uninformed? Read books on current topics.

Afraid of becoming apathetic? Donate to the non-profits that are positioned to do the most good in the areas of your concern.

Boom -- now you are informed and helpful while also undistracted and undisturbed by unhelpful, advertiser-driven news media.
>> get rid of unions

> I am as YIMBY as they come regarding zoning, but this is a complete non-sequitur. It also shows a casual disregard for basic republican values: the right to freely associate and to withhold one's labor.

It does no such thing. Rather, it's noting that unions raise the cost of many things they are associated with; especially construction. The value added by the union being in place isn't being questioned (or even commented on). Just the fact that they add cost.

The same is true of safety regulations. Those regulations (generally) add a lot of value by keeping people safe/alive. But every safety regulation _also_ adds to the cost. Pointing out that they add to the cost in no way belittles their benefit or the desire to have them.
I suppose it depends on what vim features you use but it hits the sweet spot for me now. I frequently use macros and block editing, as well as tim pope’s surround.

I hit edge cases occasionally still though I can’t think of a specific one right now. When it happens I sometimes open vscode’s terminal panel and Do a quick edit in nvim on the spot without leaving vscode.

Vscode has replaced putty for me in my workflow.
because their anti-nuclear environmental groups were actually being funded by Russia behind the scenes.

And there are still fools who think that economic integration somehow prevents wars, which was shown to be false after WWI. These people said if Europe just paid a bunch of money for Russian energy they'd obviously never attack them. See what's happening with China and the US as more proof that handing over your economy doesn't placate anybody
Many people expressly do not value the things you claim, you are projecting your preferences on to people at large. Renting transfers many costs, risks, and hassles to the landlord, which is a desirable arrangement for a significant percentage of people. It is not uncommon for people to strongly prefer renting even when they can easily afford to own a place to live because it is a better use of their time and money.

Keeping a US address on file is one thing. Actually living there is another thing. I never ran into this requirement, but I did use physical addresses of family and friends to set up mail receiving and bank accounts, then added the mail receiving service address (which looks like a street address) as a mailing address. Banks, credit cards, even the IRS do everything online so you shouldn’t be getting a lot of important paper mail anyway. Pay whatever bills you have online.

Even if you have to give a street address that checks out as a real residential address (services/databases exist to check that) you don’t actually have to live there. I doubt your employer sends someone to that address to check on you.
He shouldn't leave the remnants of everyone else's imaginary gods. He should leave archeological artifacts intact so that they can be studied and displayed.

It's an interesting story to hear about.
This falls flat on its head when you consider that this would force a bunch of people in becoming small time landlords, with the inability to invest in their skills and competency by scaling up to multiple properties. Barely anyone would be interested in running multi-family real estate and they would migrate to commercial real estate. What would remain for residential is low density condos and shitty small time landlords with variable understanding of the expectations of their role, and variable notions of what's legal and what's harassment. Anything high density is too expensive (in time and capital) to do as a "coop" style endeavor and this means no high density residential would occur unless its luxury and expensive rent, to make up for the substantially higher taxes.

I'm sorry but you can't make more housing appear by simply raising the barrier of entry and throwing sticks in $INSERT_EVIL_GROUP's front bicycle wheel. Ultimately, things need to be cheaper and easier to build, and this will come at the cost of some people's freedoms (expropriating their land for redevelopment, displacing people for redevelopment, preventing bike shedding about neighbors' preferences).

It's easy to take a dump on so called rent-seeking landlords. But picture yourself becoming a landlord; imagine you're this newly minted, high spirited multi-family property owner and you want to do good for your neighborhood without becoming a charity and ruining yourself. Then look at what your options would be. In many US urban areas, there's already a lot of regulation in place that would drive you mad in your inability to make things better for your tenants and yourself in a sustainable manner. The rules literally push you into what you're seeing in the rental market (crappy apartments with high rent).
The world is being destroyed, but at least for a few beautiful moments our nonstick pans were a few cents cheaper
I feel the same, but about the opposite side. Perhaps we are just too caught up in the media frenzy.
Don't waste all day dwelling on negative things.

My first girlfriend, after we broke up gave me a lifelong lesson. You can always control your attitude, more specifically. You can always control what you tell people. If you tell people about all these bad things that are going on all the time, they're just not going to want to be around you.

With my first girlfriend, had I just closed my mouth and kept these things to myself. And it was bad stuff, I was going through an eviction.

Maybe things would have worked out .

The other thing though, you just have to be grateful for right now.

You can take them home to add to your compost bin. Then you can put this excellent and free compost in your garden.
Ah! That’s interesting. I guess my only knowledge in this area (other than the big thing - sugar and corn syrup are really the enemy, I would have thought) is that the magic ingredient that differentiates Diet Coke and Coke Zero is citric acid. I never thought about the tooth decay angle of that.
> tmux is great, but it essentially breaks multi-line text selection (you end up selecting bits of text from an adjacent pane), an update in any pane will cancel text selection in any other pane, and mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work.

Typically you let tmux handle the text selection and clipboard management under these circumstances, which fixes all the text selection issues you mention. You can also enable scroll wheel support in tmux! Idr if it requires a plugin or something, but I have it in my config somewhere.
I lived in Hong Kong for a short while before that handover to the PRC. Daily, constant references to race were common; stories about people based on race were common; social and economic analysis in casual conversation based on race were ordinary.
> your vision (or any other vision) could work, or not, depending on the people involved in the process.

I wonder is there a rule or a set of rules that would bring out the best in people, make us focus on creating great products while simultaneously caring about sustainable future.

Profit-centric world seems to breed all kinds of pathology, on every level. Even our growing regulations seem not adequate and usually protecting the powerful.
> And if your requisite level of demand isn't there then "coming soon" is a complete lie.

That's an interesting perspective. You aren't lying when you post "coming soon" originally but later it turns into a lie?

Frankly, not sure how you solve this chicken and egg problem in a way other than what we've already detailed:

* put the chicken first: build the product (at least as minimal of a product as you can). Invest your time.

* put the egg first: suss out demand (and don't build it if you can't find any). See if anyone will bite based on words, not product.

You can try to split the difference. By building a bit, using low code tools, for example, or by being transparent that you are thinking about building this and talking to potential customers about what they'd want.

I think that "coming soon" if you don't plan to build the product at all is a baldfaced lie; we can probably both agree that is bad.

Personally, I think that "coming soon" as a way to assess demand, especially if you send out a message saying "things changed, sorry I won't be building this" (not that I've ever gotten that kind of message) is not a lie. Things change all the time.

Have you ever left a job? Typically one doesn't say out and out "I'm leaving" until they submit a resignation letter. Is being part of the team and being enthusiastic about the company and product even if you are interviewing lying?

You can also lower the impact on your users during the "coming soon" phase by

* refunding their money if you charged them (this is a no brainer, hopefully everyone agrees with this)

* providing some additional resources (presumably you have some insight into the problem space you could share, even if you don't build the product) during the "coming soon" exploration process

* asking for emails rather than $$$ while you are unsure of delivering the end goal. You could ask for emails first and then $$$ later.
Homework must be paired with an hour review session with interviewer. Company needs to have skin in the game.
As an engineer, I ask these questions all the time. Clueless product marketing people will request the most ridiculous features. I ask them: don't tell me the solution, tell me the customer problem. And what's it worth to you to solve this with the pieces we have now, instead of building something months from now? My teams have deflected years of pointless effort this way.
I think the incredible part is that even from 450m high you cannot see the end. It’s just city as far as the eye can see.

Well yeah. SSDs are worse than HDDs in every way when the denominator is capacity. The headline would be the opposite if they were comparing per IOPS. The shocking conclusion: Use SSDs when you need fast random access; use rotating media for bulk storage.
People tend to talk about two different things when they say renting: control and affordability.

Anti-renting people emphasize the control inherent in the relationship. Landlord sets the rules, including price; tenant required to abide. (Attempts to address the market by regulation here have had their share of severe side effects)

Pro-renting people emphasize the affordability and ability to offer housing to those without access to the capital to purchase, as well as the shift of asset risk (physical and market) from the renter to landlord.

The central evil seems not the existence of renting, but the ability of a landlord to capture underlying asset appreciation and charge rent.

Coupled with areas of constrained supply, this leads to landlords getting richer and renters... not. Which seems unfair.

We do have a lot of commercial property that is empty, some of it for years, and that makes no sense to me unless someone is using it as an investment to sell for a profit in a few years. However, most of it is not set up in a way that is suitable for residential, though I suppose if you're currently homeless you'd gladly take it.
Care to share any evidence for your argument?
I would never advise someone to work 18 hour days, especially if they already have financial stability from a full-time job. There's no need to rush it - taking it slowly is also valid.

Yes, land use is one factor.

What is interesting is that the dynamic actually flips once there is adequate zoning. Take a look at this[0] video on Tokyo zoning and how he talks about living in an industrial zoned area. He talks about how it's cheaper to do so, and if you want to move to a single family zoned area, it's actually more expensive!

Under the current system, landowners want their own land to be zoned as high as possible, while they want everyone else's land to be zoned as low as possible. Since 1 < everyone else, when people vote on zoning it is zoned as low as possible. With a LVT the system flips, everyone wants their land to be zoned as low as they desire, and they want everyone else's land to be zoned as high as possible. They would only accept land zoned restrictively if those people would pay higher taxes for the exclusive use of it.

This is a system with proper incentives.

Most CPU architectures provide atomic read, write and barrier primitives. Locking is a higher level interface and usually involves use of those atomic primitives.

The point is that once you have these low level guarantees, you can actually implement a good transactional system on top.

Historically what we got from storage in terms of guarantees was just "once you fsync your data will probably persist if you did it very carefully but not always".
“Can be done” typically means “can be practically done”

I quit one job about three months in. It was out of sheer boredom. The job was remote and the work expectations were so low that it was possible to deliver by working only an hour a day.

There was nothing challenging to do -- just everyday CRUD apps, and the code base was a nightmare of poor decisions. It was driving me demented after only a few weeks and I quickly reached the stage where I had to leave for the sake of my sanity.

It doesn't appear on my CV. I try to blank out the whole experience.

My family got me to join Marco Polo recently, and it's really what I want from social media. It's a bit clumsy to use the free version, but there aren't any ads, and it facilitates having meaningful connections with a smaller group of people, which is what I'm really missing from the bigger platforms. Facebook quickly became a giant friend collection for me, which is useful for being able to reach out to anyone when I need to, but it never offered a feed sorted by stuff I actually care about: family and truly close friends, and lifetime events like weddings and deaths for the rest.

Honestly it would make owning a single family home more expensive and a rental cheaper. Since the rental is closer to maximizing the land's utility. Georgists never mention this. You'd also eliminate things like rent control and need to standardize zoning.

Economists and market fundamentalists keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.
I think I got my jiu jitsu black belt with about 2,500 hours on the mat, say 5 hours a week on average for 52 weeks for 10 years.

With a more effective teaching model, I believe one could achieve the proficiency needed for a black belt in 2/3 of the time. However, this does not mean becoming a name on the world stage, for which much more talent and possibly more hours of practice are needed: talent saves many hours of practice that are instead needed by less talented practitioners, assuming that the latter can reach the level of talented people even in the limit of infinite time and youth.

The IRS literally doesn’t care where Americans live or work. US citizens/permanent residents are required to file and pay taxes regardless of where they live, and regardless of where they earn their income. US Federal tax obligations don’t change for digital nomads. If an American taxpayer can stay out of the US for 330+ days in a year they may qualify for the FEIE (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion), which applies even to income from US sources. That’s a big tax break.

To avoid state income taxes establish residency in a state that doesn’t have an income tax — Texas, Florida, Nevada, Washington, etc. That can be as easy as getting a new driver’s license. I stayed at a small bed & breakfast in Washington for two weeks (key thing: residential address, not a hotel or mailbox) while I got a WA license, then changed the address online to my mailbox. If you’re unlucky enough to live in California or Virginia now be aware that those states particularly try to hang on and tax you as a resident even after you move out.

Unless you’re breaking the law or otherwise attracting attention no one checks if you actually reside at the address on your license. Presumably you aren’t living in the US anyway so you’re not going to get tickets where your address might matter.
The question was more about the distinction wrt AI I think.

I understood the original comment to argue that it can't be sentient because its only created by ingesting insane amounts of human interactions.

Though I doubt we'll see artificial sentience during my lifetime, i strongly disagree with that take. From my point of view Humans need that too to become smart and learn language etc, so that shouldn't be an argument. Neither for nor against.
So one of the pros is "higher property appreciation" but one of the cons is "potential for lower rent or resell prices". Uh huh.
