That's how everybody used Javascript when it first came out, coming up on 30 years ago. This is how it was designed to be used in the first place.

This seems to happen with everything - somebody solves a problem, somebody else gains a very partial understanding of the solution, adds unnecessary hacks on top of the solution that they thought they needed because the didn't spend any time understanding how the solution actually worked, and somebody else comes along and adds back the things that were already in the original solution on top of the hacks so that it works the way it always worked, but much slower and in a way that will break in surprising ways when you least expect it.
I think maintaining distinctiveness as a country is the best possible economic security, instead of turning it into an airport mall of fast food chains and crappy condos. France has maintained this somewhat, but not without a lot of struggle. Globalized chains create a radical monopoly in the cities they are in because they reduce the amount of risk/reward for local entrepreneurs, and require high amounts of capital to start. It's why downtown SF is such a cultural desert of basic and Times Square is just a theme park to itself. The policies that encourage globalized businesses create a homogenization that makes the desirable diversity that emerges organically impossible.

Portugal could impose a foreign buyers tax, use it's egalitarian/socialistic political culture to incentivise some small-n natalism, and leverage the unbelievable cultural resources it has as somewhere that is a respite from the blob of tourists that it has allowed to imbalance its economy.

It's not so much IT that would change the economy, but honestly - math. It's the only real social advantage that a country can organize to leverage, and the next country that triples down on its math education investment is going to be the next power base. Given what I've seen there that the article captures perfectly, it's probably their only hope.

You don’t have to pay, but interest accrues and every time you appeal and lose you end up paying a big portion of the winner’s legal costs, so you are just digging your own grave if you’ve got a loser case that you keep prolonging.
The California law is a copy of the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, which took effect two years ago and is different from the Safety Code. Take from that a benchmark of whether that will blow up the internet.
They're just appealing the case repeatedly.

If the judgement holds they will presumably have to pay eventually.

Résumé/CV: Please request

Email: hydratedchia@gmail.com

Hi, I'm a mid-senior back-end engineer with three years experience at FAANG and a number of early stage startups. I recently relocated to Austin TX after spending three years in NYC (everything is remote now, I can focus and deliver more value in Austin :) ). Currently, I'm a TPM at a web3 company, my time is split 50/50 between shipping code and conducting technical product strategy. I'm open to product and tech roles, but I'm strongly favoring getting back into an IC role full-time.

Only seeking roles that offer insurance and USD salary over $140k

Potentially open to contract work - please email for my rates.
I've had clients and self-professed SEO gurus carve out useful content in order to chase that 100 pagespeed score. I wish Google would just come out and state how content vs speed is weighted.
Even before then, Oberlin was the first college in the US to admit women on a permanent basis, and one of the first to admit black students. Back before the civil war it was an important sanctuary for people freeing enslavement in the south, with the college and town both providing support and resistance to people trying to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. The kind of radicalism it has known for has done a lot of good, though as we see here it can lead to bad as well.

>This measure has been temporarily suspended by the government

Just because the measures are suspended doesn't invalidate the reason for them in the first place.
To endanger the rivers ecosystems isn't really helpful
>Women get matches, but the majority of the interest is low quality / aggressive inappropriate and they spend a lot of time filtering, blacklisting,

It's not exactly surprising that the top % of men that most women keep matching with treat them as disposable. To those men they are.
out of interest, what columnstore indexes are available to postgres? Would be happy to find out that I'm missing something.

I know citus can provide columnar tables but I can't find columnar indexes for regular row-based tables in their docs. (use case of keeping an OLTP table but wanting to speed up a tiny subset of queries)

Closest thing I could find was Swarm64 for columnar indexes but it doesn't seem to be available anymore.
I moved to Ann Arbor to join this team earlier this year and am having a blast! I find it very exciting to work alongside faculty and their research projects and have taken advantage of lots of nice perks that come with working at a university (including generous tuition support).
That's correct, I meant the many cores to allude to many processes.
I'm missing "if a person confirms they are in control of an email address it will always be theirs" recently got bitten by it as it dept recycled email addresses so a new hire got email address of somebody who left some time ago. They got some of their privileges. Oops
Yeah, not to mention that people on visas can't vote. It's definitely a flaw in the causality chain, but at the same time I empathize with the frustration of the Portuguese people.
Citation. On the swatting I hope we are not believing MTG now.. that would be doubley ironic

Also there is a big difference between actions of people that also happen to be members of a website and activity taking place on the website. I abhor third party liability

In the case os 8chan and daily stormer they were banned for actions and content on the site. Not for actions of people that may be affiliated with the site as anonymous users
There are tons (like, really many) of empty, closed rotting buildings in Lisbon. My assumption is the owners are waiting for prices to increase or simply demanding unreasonably inflated prices until they find a buyer. I'd like to know the reasons for it. Anyway, whole blocks are empty. Heck, there is a large empty building directly next to the German embassy (and, ironically, part of the German embassy is also abandoned and empty even though it belongs to it).

There is also a substantial number of new luxury apartment buildings in my area with apartments that appear to be empty. Whether they are owned yet or to be sold is hard to determine but you can see when nobody lives there.
This only works if you're in an area that isn't hypersaturated with retirees. Nearly every volunteer event I attend has people that are mostly 20-30 years older than me.

If there's only a football stadium and few/no independent small or medium sized clubs, where are these interesting, but niche acts going to perform?

A lot of areas have auditoriums that folks can rent - and there are generally conference rooms and conference centers. I saw Weird Al perform in a large conference room in a hotel (and the show was absolutely fantastic). I've seen folks perform in very small bars that many towns have. A lot of cities have outdoor places in parks and in the US, a high school will often have a place to rent. Heck, small festivals often have live music, though it might not be what you want.

I don't think real estate is enough. It is much easier to have a Blues festival if your city puts in some work to plan such a thing: Same with making sure there is a music scene. Not all of the bands are going to play for pennies, either: It costs money to travel about with equipment, even if you are in town. It is a group effort that involves more than real estate.
Blame neoliberal ghouls which, as the saying goes, "never let a good crisis go to waste". It was the perfect time to get public assets from the Portugese state, Greek state, Spanish state, etc, at a massive discount. A fire-sale of public goods, if you will. Also, by the way, a great time to push policies which made youth unemployment go to 30, 40, or even 50% (!), to get those sweet qualified youths to go work as nurses, doctors, engineers, in Germany, Netherlands, the UK, etc.

Blame also the eagerly colaborationist Portuguese government from 2011–2015.

Worth pointing out they didn't just rob the store, but they assaulted the store employee who tried to stop them[1]:

> Gibson followed the student from the store, where they began struggling across the street, which is campus property. Police said they arrived to find Gibson on his back, with Aladin, joined by two friends, punching and kicking him. All three undergraduates were charged — Aladin with robbery and his friends with assault.

>Students mobilized, encouraging a boycott of the establishment, which is owned by Gibson’s father, David R. Gibson, and his grandfather, also named Allyn.

The legal system doesn't care about your mother's dementia, your baker's wife's ALS, your husband's pancreatic cancer or anything else. Whether Stevie Wonder came to your bakery or not is irrelevant.

The college didn't just turn around and say they won't pay, they are following the established legal process and appealing to higher courts. For a $36 million (!) judgement they would be stupid not to (why does a defamation lawsuit need to be that much anyway?). The state supreme court handed down their judgement 2 days ago, and it is likely that Oberlin will have to pay now (with interest) unless they want to take it further federally.
May want to go back and delete your comments about real estate then. Honestly without exploiting foreigners to subsidize their housing, these tag line here would probably just as likely be "Singaporeans Can No Longer Afford to Live in Singapore."

If you live in an advanced urban economy, with relatively open borders and free market real estate, you have to get with the program or get forced out. You can argue that's a good thing, or a bad thing.

>Why is this exploitation? The country is offering a lot of positive things to foreigner

Pretty unsophisticated logic here. The idea that something good was obtained, therefore a policy can't be exploitive, is on face absolutely an unfounded and absurd claim.
She should look into selling the $36M debt to a firm specializing in such things. (Wikipedia claims that Oberlin's endowment is ~30X larger.) Far better to get paid (say) 97 cents on the dollar up front, then get on with her life & business.
I know people here won't like to hear this, but it's women who pay the bills in mainstream media. There are a few male dominated verticals. Sports for instance. But for the most part, mainstream media has to be friendly to its consumers, which is mostly women.

Again, there are male dominated niches, and if you consume media in those niches you do note a decided male bias to the content.
That is a fair point in general, but in the specific case of panpsychism, at least one of its most active proponents (Goff) combines an insistance that it is the most plausible explanation of the mind with an apparent lack of interest in saying anything empirically verifiable about what it actually means.

Whether in physics or metaphysics, one can only go so far without facts. Even the mundane world of that which actually is has repeatedly turned out to be stranger than was imagined possible.
oh yeah, totally agree Sam Harris on this is really awesome. I also love Robert Sapolsky's stuff. He's got several great videos on Youtube and his books are awesome as well.
Bottom line --- don't become an engineer kids.

A Professional Engineer certification is a license to be sued --- personally. Unlike most other endeavors, the *personal* legal liability cannot be avoided. Incorporation has no effect.

This plus the fact that most engineering careers have a half life of about 10 years. 10 years after graduation, about half the class have recognized their career mistake and moved to a different line of work. Another 10 years and the numbers fall by half again.

This is why they constantly promote STEM in schools. Got to keep those naive, new, warm bodies coming. It's a trap kids, don't fall for it.

They don't promote careers in medicine, legal or business --- because they don't have to. These promote themselves.
Additional legal fees tend to go to the winner.
They did eventually plead guilty and recant their accusations of racial profiling. The plea deal didn't involve any jail time.
Not a LITTLE sarcastically, no.

No one has yet provided evidence that privileged ports create even a single security issue. While there's lots of huffing and puffing in the original article (including someone confusing privileged ports with IP based authentication, which is effectively dead), the closest it gets is to say that dropping privileges in a server is a pain. And then they go on to show off a one line configuration change that would disable privileged ports system wide. So do that if it makes sense for you.

What doesn't make sense would be to abandon decades of practice that real people (more than three in Finland, actually) rely upon because some people are too lazy to make a trivial change to their systems. And let's get real: 99.9% of people are never going to want to run a web server on their computers. You're just arguing that your portion of that 0.1% -- let's be a LITTLE sarcastic and call them five penguins in Antarctica! -- are more important than the rest.
> Let's say that architecture licenses cost 25% of what chip licenses cost.

Why would the architecture license be less than the off-the-shelf chip license? If that were the case, I think youd see a lot more people designing cores.
Interesting take. Opt-in def the way to go about this.
What is the platform where these events have moved? Please tell me it's not just Facebook.

I’m not convinced it’s a pure numbers game, at least from a perspective of long-term success (for what it’s worth, I was averaging 1-2 dates/year until I met my partner). I think it’s much better to have two high-quality dates than dozens of low-quality ones. The advantage of dating apps over more traditional ways of meeting people is that you can much more effectively set up bandpass filters to focus your efforts on interesting people.

I think the best thing you can do is focus on yourself, particularly by cultivating hobbies that you enjoy—bonus points if they’re things you can enjoy alone and with others, because they’re easy inroads and great first dates (worst case you get to spend a bit of time doing something you like!).

The second thing I’d encourage is to get any potential dealbreakers out of the way early (e.g. religion, political views, desires for parenthood, career aspirations). It’s a slow path, but it’s helped me avoid the major pitfalls I’ve seen in my friend’s’ and colleagues’ relationships.

The courts determined they were wrongly cancelled (not "supposedly"). All three students pled guilty, admitting there was no racism.

I actually do think the college was right about contacting the dean first. In particular, the store should have excellent security cameras, and when somebody steals, you send the forensic-grade evidence to the dean, asking if they would like the photos to be shared with the police or whether the university should handle the matter internally.
> They find, time and time again, in all sorts of fields, that extremely parsimonious models like equal-weighted linear regression of one or two predictors outperform expert judgment.

I came across this in Thinking Fast and Slow. Kahneman was a big fan of Meehl and restates the point:

The important conclusion from this research is that an algorithm that is constructed on the back of an envelope is often good enough to compete with an optimally weighted formula, and certainly good enough to outdo expert judgment.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9574537-the-important-concl...

I too agree with the premise of this article. On this topic of expert judgment vs data, however, I found the counterpoint in this HN comment thought-provoking enough to bookmark and refer back to now and again:

I started at MS during Vista and I've been involved (sometimes tangentially) with Windows ever since. This is all my opinion, but It's been very interesting seeing the decision making process change over time.

If I had to summarize the change, I'd say that it's evolved from an expertise-based system to a data based system. The reason why eight people were present at every planning meeting is because their expert opinion was the primary tool used in decision making. In addition to poor decisions, this had two very negative outcomes:

1) reputation was fiercely fought for. Individuals feared that if they were ever incorrect, the damage to their reputation would limit their ability to impact future decisions and eventually lead to career death. Whether this actually happened or not is irrelevant; the fear itself caused overt caution and consensus seeking.

2) In the absence of data, an eloquent negotiator is often able to obtain their desired outcome, no matter how sub-optimal that outcome might be.

Even more provocative, it ends up being a (qualified, as I read it) defense of telemetry.
> That means solar/wind/storage has to become the dominant energy system, and that's the general trend:

Solar and batteries require mining rare earth elements which also present similar supply chain and ecological concerns. Without storage wind and solar simply cannot meet reliability and demand expectations.
