You're confusing a particular (naive, original) implementation of cryptocurrency with the general concept of cryptocurrency. Proof of work != cryptocurrency, and speculative markets again are entirely divorced from its foundations. So are ideas such as transactional obfuscation (an exercise left to the reader in the original Bitcoin whitepaper). All of these are implementation details of a broader class of software ecosystems known as cryptocurrency.

You seem like a reasonable person and if you take the time to understand what is taking place then you would see this as the transitional period that it is, understand the problems being solved, and know how to spot the bullshit from the real. Otherwise, you might become the digital equivalent of a senior who refuses to use a credit card over cash.

False on both counts.

First, it's 100% the right of communities to establish - and change - zoning laws. Those can change after a property is acquired.

More importantly - this issue is not about people having zoning changed from under their noses, rather, it's about developers interested in creating different kinds of accommodation then those that have previously existed under existing rules. They knew what they were getting into when they bought the land. This is not 'zoning rug pull' kind of activity.

Second - this push is mostly about issues affordability. Cali legislation was driven by it.

Thanks David I’ll have a a look.

I hate to categorize people in such a conveniently black and white way but there seems to be a group that desperately need social assistance: housing, health, some upskilling etc and they would rejoin society and live happy productive lives drug free.

But also a group that just needs ongoing mental health treatment. I expect the second group to be way smaller of course.
So that's called "hidden variable theory". We've done tests that show it's not true. Basically, there are certain measurements you can do on entangled particles where you can prove each measurement is affecting the other measurement.

> Persuasive communication is important even outside of business.

You said "outside of business," and then gave three examples of _asking for money_. You could have said "in dating," or "in electoral politics," but even in those examples, "persuasive" speech verges on "coercive" speech.

> you can play the game with some ethics instead of not playing at all and losing out.

In a darwinian competition, eg "the marketplace of ideas," ethics will always lose out to money. To play is to lose.
This is propaganda. Nearly all the homeless you see on the streets are addicted to heroin, fentanyl, or meth, or some combination. You cannot afford housing at any level when you’re doing those kind of drugs. And most of the homeless in San Francisco aren’t locals.. the vast majority come here for the permissive drug laws, social benefits like SF’s homeless assistance program that pays them $500, and the weather.
Oberlin prides itself on being progressive and inclusive.

Now everyone on one entire side of the political spectrum is gloating at what that ideology has lead them into.
Flight crew are there first and foremost for your safety. That is what they are trained for. Their primary job is not to be janitors or servers, though they obviously play those roles to some degree. If it wasn't for the safety requirements, we'd likely have a single overworked staff member to handle food and drink service (at least on mid-size flights).

But yeah, planes are a bit gross, and I bring wipes with me for the arm rests and touch screen. Of course the best thing we could all do is to simply clean up after ourselves, which should be easy for all the non-idiots out there.

Security is a discrete objective with a distinct success / failure metric.

"Responsible innovation" is not discrete.

In simplest terms, one can judge if security is succeeding with a security audit. Either access is avaiable to the right parties, or not.

One cannot say with certainty if one is being a responsible innovator.

If your products are great bc they are are built quickly on top of a swiss cheese security policy, the security team is à blocker (or at worst, a delayer) of the company bankruptcy from fraud/fines/asset loss.

If responsible innovation is blocking product, its not certain what (if any consequences) there will be if the product is unblocked. Therein lies the problem

Many companies vest those RSUs monthly or at least quarterly, and for public companies employees can sell right away. This is a very common paradigm, and in fact financial advisors would frequently recommend employees sell all shares at vest to diversify.

I've worked at places also where 105b-1 plans were generally available (sell all shares at vest even outside trading windows), in which case employees were absolutely receiving 40k+ liquid cash a month. Many senior engineers were receiving substantial more than that.
California has something called a "builder's remedy". If cities are out of compliance with the HAA, developers can get their building permits approved through an alternative process... it's apparently a bit messy, though, and it only applies when the city is out of compliance in certain ways.

I think it makes a lot more sense then suing the city or issuing fines--at least in theory.
Why are you arguing some point about cost that I didn't make instead of addressing the points I _did_ make?

Immediately, without any context other than what you've provided, I would no longer trust him--you should be included in the loop for any major decision like this. If he has no particularly rare redeeming qualities (or if he does, if you can survive without him), discuss it with the board directly. In my experience it is better to not take chances and to aggressively confront this otherwise later you will regret ignoring duplicitous behavior.

Sounds like someone had a bad case of framework chasing and hype driven development. I support the original poster as developing your own is always better than reusing, no exceptions.
I consider OOP's greatest crime to be 'reification' at the finest level, i.e. to give small bits of data 'identity' or a concrete location. Thus suddenly you have things like the I-thou dichotomy and deictic pronoun referents, which have no place in data processing, and also potentially replicated state and thus complexity explosion.

Of course this was inevitable given the place orientated von Neumann architecture (the tape, with its distinct locations). Much as OO practitioners like to think OO is special or deep in some sense, it is in fact just a conceptual hack to accommodate the inherent clumsiness of our particular adding machines, dressing their flaws in fancy clothes to hide our shame. If it wasn't for C pointers, programmers would think OO was some sort of nightmare fuel from another dimension.

Generalization was not the thing that started racism and colonialism. The Europeans started enslaving Africans because there was a taboo against enslaving Christians, and then a bunch of BS pseudoscience combined with natural human xenophobia to make a new monster with a life of its own.

Generalization is an important tool for understanding the world. How could we think any thoughts without generalizing?
I absolutely despise slow software. But what I meant to say is that performance of modern frameworks is comparable. There's a huge UX difference between 250ms and 500ms page render. Not so much between 25ms and 50ms.

When I'm looking at Svelte or Vue I care about developer experience way more than their performance compared to React.

If performance mattered as much as you're claiming, React would never gain traction. After all, Virtual DOM is pure overhead.
> First, it's 100% the right of communities to establish - and change - zoning laws.

That’s not the argument I’m making. I’m saying that communities have no right to arbitrarily block uses that comply with existing code. This is a rule of law issue. SF has admitted to violating state law which supersedes local law.

Again, my point is that YIMBYs are not making the claim that density per se drives down costs.

But yes arbitrarily restricting housing supply does create affordability issues. The NIMBYs of SF in the end if they win will find that they have created a museum of SF.
Oberlin's response to students:

>Dear Obies,

>Today, Oberlin College and Conservatory initiated payment in full of the $36.59 million judgment in the Gibson’s Bakery case, an amount that represents the awarded damages and interest owed. Please see the college’s public statement below.

>While this outcome is a disappointment, our financial plans for this possibility, which included insurance coverage, mean that this payment will not impact or diminish our academic or student life experience, or require us to draw down Oberlin’s endowment.

>Like me, the majority of the campus was not here at the beginning of this matter in 2016. But it is also true that this case has been difficult for all of us who love this institution and its hometown. I am looking forward to all that is ahead, and remain focused on Oberlin’s core mission of providing a truly excellent liberal arts and musical education. Carmen Ambar Signature Carmen Twillie Ambar

So they're basically just claiming insurance will cover it
I kept a journal (paper, of course), but in spite of my good intentions I have never digitized it. It was another time, when letter to Canada and back took a month each way (the final 15k on horseback). Now, I hear that there is a cell tower in the village.

The country, Lesotho, is unique in many ways. It is completely within South Africa, and 2/3 of the men used to go to the South African mines to work. I'm not sure about now, but they used to have one of the highest HIV infection rates in the world (35% or so).

There is also a ski resort (https://afriski.net/). The white colonizers didn't want the land because it was so mountainous -- the lowest point in the country is 1,400m above sea level -- and was not suitable for agriculture, so they let the Africans stay there.

Damn, now you have me dreaming about OCRing my journals!

> That’s the whole idea of static type checking: in return for restricting yourself to a controlled subset of the language that isn’t “too dynamic”, you gain the ability to type-check your code without running it.

Eh, you are mixing up distinctions.

All that's required of _static_ typing is that your static type specification finishes running before you start your program.

Whether that static type specification language is Turing complete or not is a completely separate issue. And, yes, you are right that it's generally useful for that language to be decidable. But see eg Haskell's UndecidableInstances.
For me it's the features I mentioned above - having a CLI on desktop, and both ios and android apps is so huge because I have devices in all three ecosystems!

This attitude is stupid (sorry). If I value a clean plane, I don't care what the supposed role of the flight crew is. The issue is that the carrier doesn't have someone cleaning the plane. It's not my job as a customer to debate who should do it, nor is it to pontificate about how hypothetically we should all do better and keep the plane clean.

These low cost carriers have determined that having a clean plane is not important to their revenue, and so they don't. Discussion about the crew being there "for my safety" and not to clean accomplishes nothing, it's just a kind of empty internet point that gets brought up
Devil's Advocate:

What if these companies did find a cure, and after running the numbers, determined it was less profitable? Wouldn't 'death by a thousand costs' be more profitable a one-time cure (or limited rounds)? Just because people would be willing to pay almost any amount does not mean they can pay almost any amount.

(Personally, I think they would release a cure if they could find one, but I have heard arguments as to why it would be less profitable, and I am curious about your opinions.

These companies are evil, but it's not entirely their faults. I think they are a manifestation of a sick society -- with each answer to our hopes and prayers the Monkey Paw curls.)
Factual? From what point of view? The narrow one that Australia only existed after federation? That's f*** ridiculous I'm sorry. It was called Australia way before that. And the Queen was still the queen of those f*** colonies come on. It's not factual, Australia's history extends from more than 200 years. Why do engineers have to be so narrow about definitions: they think they're right but they're wrong they're just not seeing the other points of view. They just paint themselves into a corner on a narrow definition and then double down... it's f*** pathetic. But they use this to be abusive and quarrelsome and start fights, on the false pretense that they're right and they're the only right. it's b****. rather than just going, "yeah there's another point of view."

Like how you can question 1788 is the start of Australia is just ridiculous. And the monarch was the monarch of Australia for all that time because it was a British colony and then federation and we still have those heads of state. so it's not completely factual... what I said is factual what the other person said is wrong or limited to the point of view of federation. To argue against what I'm saying is crazy. What's the point of it even it's just like picking fights.

Your facts don't cover the reality of the situation I'm sorry. Australia is not just a name on a piece of paper after federation. Why do engineers think a single fact conveys the whole truth. Then I realize it's abusive to stick to that and not consider all the points of view...ugh. whatever.

Convince yourself what you want man but it's not the truth. But I don't think you've got any skin in the game to even argue this... Haha :)
