I’m not talking about you because you’ve been there for years now.

I meant that most people move to SF for a couple years and then move out due to costs or whatever reason. I read somewhere that 80% or so of SF is this way. Students, job hoppers, workers, etc.

How was SF in the 90s?
A lot of amateur photographers used Lightroom and were willing to pay a one off purchase price whereas a monthly cost for something you might hardly use in a month is too expensive. Figma has a high percentage of users who use it regularly as part of their paying jobs. It also has online features, which you expect to pay continuously for. Lightroom Classic had no online features.

I still use Lightroom 6, the last standalone version, so I haven’t found anything else with such good combination of library organisation & editing. But no way I’ll ever pay a monthly subscription for the current, slightly better version or the less capable cloud version.
I must have been hit by this change this week, got hammered by ads and got angry. Signed up for youtube premium. Sorry everyone, I'm ruining this experiment.
This comes off as concern trolling. I don't know your underlying political biases, so just reading it neutrally, that's how it comes off.

Lots of places have been using RCV for some time. It is not hard to understand.

These concerns about the importance of the "perception of fairness" are never brought up when it comes to issues like voter ID laws, elections being on work days, election holidays, publicly funded elections, etc.
Usually when I feel that the article deserves to be flagged, it does turn out to violate guidelines. The main suspect is a low quality post with high number of upvotes. This one for instance is a self-promotion.
Between NY and Boston I've never seen the speeds claimed on that Wikipedia page -- not even close.

I only once rode NY->DC and it felt a bit faster, but not hugely so.

I didn't conduct any formal measurements, but I use to be a frequent TGV, ICE, and Shinkansen rider and you can tell you're moving fast by just looking out the window.
Somehow, the dynamic where a company is an organization of humans to be used to further some human cause was reversed, so now humans are elements of a corporation to be used to further the cause of the corporation. We've gone from running companies in service of humans to running humans in service of companies.

I don't think I've ever successfully gotten a SaaS or other paid product to fix a bug for me. I mean sure I've paid a lot to upgrade _hoping_ that an upgrade comes with bug fixes, but that usually doesn't pan out either. On the other hand I've seen great responsiveness on open source projects.

HN hug of death? godotengine.org is offline for me at the moment. Regardless, really looking forward to trying it out! Here it is on the wayback machine:

"It seems clear" -> "it's not necessarily the case" is the exact shift in certainty I was trying to argue for. I agree with this comment.
CoolEdit! haven't heard that name in a while. Yeah, Adobe used to be ultra-respected, especially in the 90's as Photoshop took the world by storm. These days, as you can see, the response to "X acquired by Adobe" is met with universal disappointment (except by those who have Adobe stock, I guess).
Perhaps the 4 month old is not "manipulative" per se, but it also cannot be argued that the kid is doing much of a cost-benefit analysis as to whether it's worth waking Mom and Dad up for this (whim/legitimate need).
You know you can just go to a store for that now, and they’re not run or frequented by hippies.
Is "The League" a reference to the Ivy League (with schools like Stanford and MIT honorary members)? I am 51, male, and happily married, but if I were looking now I would like the ability to screen by verified SAT or ACT scores, since those are less noisy measures of IQ than having attended a highly ranked school, since getting in can result from athletic prowess, rich family donors, race, and other factors. Of course, some people may value some of those qualities in a mate.
Since the data won't change frequently it might be worth trying to load it into ClickHouse. I've had needle-in-haystack searches on multi-million row tables speed up by 2 orders of magnitude over PG.
I've noticed the pictures from my iPhone look awful compared to my old pixel, and I know nothing about photo editing and there's zero chance I'd be willing to manually edit photos when the pixel is point-and-shoot
Doesn't using the gov.uk article work fine for issues 1, 2, and 4?

The cause is simpler than this article makes it out to be. Older displays had pretty narrow gamuts so very saturated colors washed out to something more legible and the crude palette construction was not much of a problem back then.
I think it is important to think of Thiel's program more of a black swan or ycombinator style incubator rather than an alternative to college in the general sense.

Firstly, the program is 50x more selective than Harvard so one might reasonably expect the program to produce a healthy number of successful entrepreneurs.

Secondly, while the program has had some monster successes, a large percentage of fellows end up just going into tech jobs or worse, going to college after their two years are up.

A small-ish number of monster successes with a large-ish number of mediocre failures is fantastic if you are a VC, but not so great if you are a average person looking for an average career in tech.

Still, hats off to Dylan Field with Adobe purchasing Figma. Perhaps he could pay it backwards by providing the scholarships for next year's fellows.
If you are very careful about almost making sure you're working on getting more applicants you are almost certainly in the clear.

Once you start implementing hiring quotas you need to be very careful, but right now you can probably get away with it unless someone is willing to take the risk to sue (it would probably destroy their reputation to do such a thing).
> The amount of energy worth buying to mine crypto is exactly equal to the value of the crypto mined

This is a bit trickier. If they have equipment already then it changes situation.

Cost of computing hashes includes mostly energy and hardware.

As long as it can pay for operating costs, they will continue to do this, even if buying electronics for that is no longer profitable

(unless selling equipment is more profitable)

Nice, thanks for sharing.
It seems like an improved Kong, using the good parts of it, like Nginx and Lua. It makes me want to use it instead of the usual Kong, in next project.

It's the devil they know. An obvious broken system that nevertheless has a track record of delivering the priority goal, peaceful transitions of power, is safer than the unknown.
I'm not sure if suing is a reasonable way to go - suing would work if there's a legal right to continued service or "answers" but IMHO there is not, technically for such B2B deals Stripe has the legal right to say "you haven't broken any explicit restriction or terms of service, but we simply decided to terminate the contract because we didn't like your business" or "we threw a bunch of dice and arbitrarily chose to".
Australians are, on the average, no smarter or dumber than Americans.

We have voted with RCV for a century and in Australia it is compulsory to vote, so the below-average intelligence voter is made to show up as well as the above-average voter.

It works because it's piss easy to understand "number them in the order you like them". Millions of people vote this way for multiple levels of government. The USA is not a special place with a different kind of human and the Australian experience can be generalised to the American case. RCV works and will continue to work just fine.
Increasing racial tension has long been the hallmark strategy of the North American ruling class, and nobody is better at it than them.
Can someone plz enlighten me how Figma competes with Adobe? AFAIK Web/app designers use either Sketch or Figma, publishers use Illustrator and photographers use Photoshop/Lightroom. At least that's how it's been back in the day. Is that no longer the case?
I just tried it from a random page and thought it was going to work when I hit "knowledge", but ended up with a loop too. I think it's more of a truism than actual provable fact.
Google Assistant – “Tell Me Something” Seems Broken / Hacked
Yesterday, when I asked Google Assistant "Tell Me Something", like I normally do each day for a random fact, it came back saying "Jeg kan lete etter det". Which, in Danish means "I can look for it". Is anyone else seeing this?
I recall seeing that option discussed on The Daily Planet with Jay Ingram back in the early 00s. They interviewed a research engineer on self-driving vehicles, probably in the context of the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge. He'd clearly been working in the space for years and was very knowledgeable.

IIRC, they had some very successful prototype road systems back in the 90s (or maybe earlier) that were based on implanting magnetic markers into the road at regular intervals. The big problem was cost. There's miles and miles of roads and the cost to upgrade and maintain enough miles was prohibitive.

With that said, perhaps now that the cars themselves are 90% of the way there, the upgrades to the roadways could be more limited. I wonder if adding machine-readable markers to particularly important or problematic areas might be reasonable at this point.
I imagine you are taking about gender reassignment surgery. In that case, the patient is seeking help to solve a serious physical and psychological problem for themselves. Leg lengthening does not cross that bar for me, at least not how the motivations of the patients are described in the article. I can easily imagine cosmetic surgery that is ethical, including leg lengthening, but these guys are not it.
Taxes are not paid automatically, regardless where you are, on transactions like:

- Sold something in person for cash

- Gifts over a certain amount depending on the country

- Bartered items and services

- Gambling winnings

- Forgiven debt
On top of that, it's clearly something each individual would prefer. If I don't get my first choice, I'd rather have my vote go to my second choice than essentially no one.

I know you're being downvoted, but I agree with your assessment re: concern trolling. The position seems disingenuous.
Hi, I am the author of Qworum, which is a work in progress. If my answer seems too long, a coffee pause always helps :)

RELEVANCE FOR P2P:

I take it you are into P2P, but Qworum really isn’t a P2P technology, at least in its current state. What Qworum is doing is simply define a new type of web content (the Qworum script) that browsers know how to handle in order to support modular and distributed web applications.

REST-QWORUM COMPARISON:

Imagine a REST end-point for processing payments. It receives an amount and currency, and returns the transaction details. But the end-point should ask the end-user for a payment method. How does it do that? It can't, but a Qworum end-point can! This is where Qworum shines.

So a Qworum service is comparable with a REST API in that it has a set of end-points. A Qworum end-point in turn is similar to a REST end-point in that it has a URL and it receives (optional) data and returns some data.

But the big difference compared to REST is that Qworum end-points are not obliged to return immediately a result. In other words, a Qworum end-point call can involve more than one HTTP(S) request-response pair. So Qworum end-points can return 2 types of responses during a call:

1. HTML pages for interacting with the end-user,

2. Qworum scripts for making nested calls to other end-points (recursion is also supported), and for returning a result to end the call. Qworum scripts can be sent as XML to the browser, or they can be generated in web pages on the browser using JavaScript.

REACT-QWORUM COMPARISON:

React components are really parts of web pages, not really services in the way a REST API is a service. Qworum services are more comparable with REST APIs than React components.

In terms of UI, one big difference between Qworum services and React components is that a Qworum service has access to the whole page within the browser tab regardless of the nesting depth of the call. As a result there is no upper bound to Qworum’s nesting depth. In contrast, React components can't really nest beyond 2-3 levels, because with each nesting level the screen real estate that the component has access to becomes vanishingly smaller.
Palin got more 1st votes than Begich. That tells me republican voters generally prefered Palin and she would've won the primary. Dem voters preferring begich over palin tells us nothing about how a primary would go.
Maybe it's time for governments to stop relying on taxes so much, period. Maybe they can reduce their scope a little bit.

I do wish that land value tax would replace other forms of taxation in many jurisdictions.
They’ve also been given a very reasonable amount of time to find a replacement job internally - and I imagine there are a bunch of teams who want more people but can’t recruit due to some degree of new hiring freeze.
I acknowledge that that is the prevailing sentiment, and the obviously correct conclusion. And yet I can't accept that kind of defeatist thinking. To embrace defeatism on that level is to basically accept that nothing will ever change, and we know that things do, occasionally, change. It's not always clear exactly what it takes to create wide-scale societal change, and yes one could easily spend their whole life engaging in activism and die with nothing to show for it. Yet people do still persist, for their own reasons. And sometimes the good guys do win.
I'm surprised there's such a small difference between sedentary and walkers/runners.
If two employees are otherwise equally performing, the company has to lay off one of them....but one would have significantly greater difficulty finding re-employment, that's something they want to consider in the decision of which employee is laid off.

It also probably means they acknowledge that there are extensively proven biases against people of color throughout society, and tried to assure that people were not more likely to be laid off because they were a minority.

Just look at the majority of comments here shouting about how this is discriminatory realize how many people in the tech sector look at a black woman interviewing for a programming job and consciously or unconsciously assume she's gotten as far as she has based off diversity quotas or "woke hiring managers" etc...and thus question her credentials more, scrutinize her background more closely, are pickier about her answers to questions and her solutions to coding problems.

Edit: "people in tech think a black woman interviewing with them is incompetent because of diversity hire initiatives" != "diversity hire initiatives result in incompetent employees" just like all the kids believing in Santa don't make Santa real. Don't use my words to justify your "reverse discrimination" narratives. Outgroup candidats start from "less likely to get hired"; diversity initiatives help push them toward "fair chance in the hiring process."

This is completely untrue. Google “adverse impact hr” for a quick education on this topic.
You know all the times you need to lookup syntax or how to do something on Stack Overflow or some other site? Copilot replaces about 80% of that. Speeds up that process a lot.
Regardless, there is no copyright infringement occurring when I use my memory of having seen someone else's copyrighted materials to produce my own wholly new but similar looking works.

Likewise there is no copyright infringement occurring when an ML model is trained on copyrighted works.

Stable Diffusion is a 5GB matrix of floating-point numbers trained on 240TB of data. It does not, and cannot, contain infringing data from the training set. It is physically impossible for it to contain such data. There is not, and cannot be, any infringement occurring.
A year ago, I was making a game for JS13K, where the goal is to make a game that fits in a zip file under 13,312 bytes. I had a two spots that were using the exact same copy-pasted chunk of code, so I figured I'd refactor it into a function to save space, but it actually _increased_ the size of the final zip when I did so.
Turns out zip files compress repetitions of the same exact text _very_ well.
I don't think it's fair to shame them, but I think it is fair to observe that they, factually, did not take those risks.

Hah, good joke, I've been hearing it for years now.
It is possible that people who got covid have increased anxiety about long covid which leads to additional issues.
> I prefer doing validation in JS most of the time

As you should! :) Preferably by using a parser-generator library. Validation is basically just an error mode of parsing, and parsing things with regexes is not only unreadable, but also loses a lot of valuable information about the error.
You may want to look at pandas too (unless the issue is your CSVs are too large to fit in memory).
Tech is rapidly being consolidated. I have learned to accept, in the future, we will only have walled gardens like Apple. The wild wild West of yester year is being fenced in by regulatory pressure and the threat of ransomware/phishing/and the latest scams.
Approval voting has better outcomes than RCV and is also easier to understand. Vote for as many options as you like, whoever gets the most votes wins.

I wish this system was getting as much attention as Ranked Choice.
> People's attempts to hide their remote lifestyle are mostly laughable

That can depend on how/where they're staying. If they're at "home" abroad, with a similar time zone, then there's often no way to tell except technically.

I have a team mate who often spends time across the border for weeks at a time. We wouldn't know if she didn't mention it.

We are in the EU though, so working from other EU countries is fine, within limits.
I was first inspired by this video that a friend of a friend made for a boutique frame builder in California.

http://soulcraftbikes.com

A decade later I sold a company and spent 3 months in Portland at https://bikeschool.com/. I took pretty much all of their classes. (Their wheel building seminar was fantastic, btw). Sadly they no longer teach welding, but the classes were fantastic. In each class you sized, laid out, machined and welded a bike. Started with lugged chromoly brazing, then chromoly fillet brazing, then chromoly tig, aluminum tin and finally titanium tig.

Unfortunately there are no bike schools in the world which have as comprehensive as a program as bikeschool did. I think they lost most of their teachers during Covid. Hoping they recover.

I ended up bringing 5 frames with me on the train home from PDX to Oakland. Over the next year I built another 15 frames for friends, then started a business building and selling custom, very durable bikes to overweight techies. It was great fun, we used to host weekend 25, 50 and 100 mile rides, nobody under 200lbs allowed. I lost $300 on every bike I made, but it was worth it.

Check out Paul Brodie's videos on YouTube, I am hoping to do a master class with him next year. https://www.youtube.com/c/paulbrodie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2CnJ9lmlQo really shows the beauty of fillet welding.

Also, I'm going to take a carbon fiber class here: https://www.framebuildingschool.com

Long story short: Go buy a couple of the cheapest throw-away bicycle frames you can. Get a brazing setup, then spend a few weeks cutting them up and learning how to join tubes solidly. Everything else is easy after that.
I don't get the hubbub around ordinal voting. It has a serious embedding problem that is solved in cardinal systems.

The problem is that by ranking candidates the distance between two candidates is identically spaced. Instead by scoring candidates you are better able to express this distance (even in simple systems like approval). This quickly resolves issues like the favorite betrayer (strong spoiler effect) and resolves some strategy issues (no system is immune to all strategies fwiw). Plus you get a much easier to calculate election (`argmax([candidate.sum() for candidate in candidate_list])`, which also has nice sampling properties for winner estimates and verification). Aren't these the systems we want to be using? I mean could you imagine the Arizona recount with an ordinal system? Or RP or Schultz? What a disaster that would have been.
I'm trying to understand your position here:

You think AML/KYC laws, as they currently exist, are unconstitutional?

edit:

That's a fine position to have, but it's a fringe one, and I don't think you should be offering it as a reason why Stripe does what it does that's generally accepted by everyone else.
>It’s a very unethical practice because it ends up hitting businesses at the worst possible time, when the termination or suspension causes a huge financial hit.

You forgot the part where Paypal get to keep your money when they close your account. And it's not like they only keep it temporarily in case of lawsuits/chargebacks, they just keep it forever. I still can't believe that crap is legal.
>Sweden used to be the rape capital of the world only a few years ago. There's a clear problem here that needs to be addressed.

Note that Sweden actually counts many things as rape which are not considered rape in other countries (see Assange).

> Calling politicians who are trying to fix the situation a bunch of nazis isn't going to help the situation at all.

Considering that some of its members used to go on marches with actual Nazi flags and went out bashing brown people (yes they are trying to clean up their image, but those people are still in the party), I think it's pretty fair to call them Nazis.
Do you know that TGV tickets are very expensive? It's easy to say "faster and larger" when you can afford it. But fitting more people on a train make transportation cheaper for the mass.

I'm French and many friends and family would love to take TGV on holidays but have to ride by bus (search "cars Macron") or by ridesharing (Blablacar) due to the TGV prices.

SNCF recently re-launched some quite old trains under the low-cost "Ouigo Intercités" brand, because demand for cheap-but-slow transportation is more and more popular. I took one from Nantes to Paris this summer (many hours longer than by TGV) and will prefer it next time too. I could fit my bike for free there (vs 10€ in TGV, where I also usually have to disassemble beforehand).
Bad take. Right wing nationalists are going to call election fairness into question anyways, we may as well adopt a system that produces popular results.

Yeah, this is the advice I've always seen with sleep training. It's important to put them down drowsy but awake. I find this extremely challenging. If the lights are on I can tell, but when it's night time and I've got the lights out I have no idea when he's drowsy but not asleep yet, and he's extremely light sensitive so I can't just have a light on. So I often accidently put him down asleep and he actually does just fine.
