I'm not disagreeing that land can be a good investment for that reason (though psychically knowing which bits of land will increase in desirability in the future is not trivial).

I _am_ disagreeing with your assertion that "there is a certain amount of delusion in expecting any static resource to meet monotonically increasing amounts of demand". Increasing the efficiency with which you use a resource is, in fact, an excellent way to make a static resource meet an increasing amount of demand.

> instead of building an arbitrarily tall building, you band together with the other land owners and implement something called zoning that restricts how high buildings can be

AFAIK this isn't the actual origin of restrictive American zoning policy, but yes I see your point. However, effective NIMBYism requires that small groups of zealous locals be able to control construction in the first place. If zoning policy was restructured to be controlled primarily by the federal or state government, it would be impossible for local councils to zone away dense construction the way they do now. Japan is a practical example of a country that does zoning in exactly this way.
I was wondering what the context of that quote was, but I found this:

The new supply chain isn't yet ready to a sufficient level. The pain inflicted by missing gas could become high enough for some "moral flexibility".

Apparently some state actor did see a greater-zero-chance for resumed operations. Otherwise, why blow up the pipeline...
I tend to coach the question to prevent people from giving it a softball, with something like "I have certainly caused my fair share of crisis, what I'm interested in is the experiences you ..."

It's an adequate test to filter out folks who are simply incapable of accepting responsibility for their actions, or who have yet to really shoulder enough responsibility to meaningfully fail.
I'm surprised at how such information could be lost over generations. Yet, I recall having to read Shakespeare and barely being able to glean meaning from the passages despite them being written in English. If you go even farther back to the works of Chaucer, the text is essentially indecipherable for any layperson without a teacher. And that is a span of only about 600 years. I must admit that even reading the Federalist papers is a little difficult and those are only a little more than 200 years old.

It gives me a newfound appreciation for how much language changes and the challenges of conveying information across generations.
What seems even crazier is not even wanting to test against different builds of Chromium to help keep pace with Electron updates. At that point isn't one's code just too brittle?

I remember being asked this during my interview at Google. It was the first time I heard it and I gave an answer that iterated over the list twice. The interviewer said that it wasn't good enough and I am only allowed to iterate over it once. He didn't let me write my O(2n) solution down so he returned a strong no as feedback.

My grandmother was quite the baker, and was known in particular for her pies. For apple she swore by the Pippin. She was very upset when they became uncommon in supermarkets.

Ice makers are the #1 failure mode of refrigerators.

Between being broken, taking up freezer space, having weird plumbing, having water that doesn't move often so grows bacteria, needing filters which nobody ever changes, etc. the best maintenance idea is simply to not have an ice maker.

I'm sure that some people get more value out of an ice maker than a couple of ice trays in the freezer. I'm just not sure I've ever met them.

I mostly agree with your sentiment, but I don’t think you’re being very fair to students, and i don’t think this issue is particularly about the students. (and I’m not convinced Prop13 needs to be repealed to solve problems). Students and loans are a different issue and it seems cruel to label them as wannabe UC students who aren’t good enough. All UCs are respectable.

I think this issue can be generalized a lot…

1. Locate a city with geographic limits.

2. Institute anti-growth policies.

3. Invite anything that may attract more people into town.

4. Allow 3 to continue/repeat without an increase in market rate housing.

5. Wait.

6. Landlords profit

Prop 13 has a good goal - prevent property tax increases from displacing long term residents. If you allow growth in housing supply then this can be a good thing, but the incentives ruin it. A balanced law or requirement that requires more housing to maintain prop13 would likely solve this mismatched incentive issue (if you vote against more housing, you could experience cost increases). Maybe tack a “breakpoint” in tax stability to rent-rates-beyond-inflation stability.

Can you cite any cases where US authorities prosecuted such applicants for lying on their resumes?

I doubt that it really happened since as you may have hinted, no prosecutors are interested in pursuing these cases for lack of sympathy as you put it, which I can't verify, or failure of winning the case which I suspect to be the chief motive here since misrepresenting facts or exaggerating events on your resume is not a crime.

Our civilization has not collapsed since Shakespeare. Ancient Egypt's did c. 1200 BC and never exactly recovered in terms of literacy though remnants remained into early Roman times. Then it was conquered by the Greeks.

Mesopotamia was even more completely buried and forgotten. A few names in the Bible, nothing more of the history survived until rediscovered in modern times. Around 400 BC, Xenophon returning from his campaign against the Persians, marched past the ruins of a great city. He was impressed with the size of it. The walls on stone foundations 20 ft tall! They're still there today, more or less. Perhaps the Medes had built it, according to the locals. Not much was known of the Medes, to the Greeks. It may have been quite ancient.

Xenophon did not know that it was Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, last of the great Mesopotamian empires. It had been destroyed some 200 years before in the final war between Babylon and Assyria. The Mesopotamian cultural-political system sort of fell apart after. The languages of administration and history stopped being used. Written records ceased. The Persians came to rule the area. Only two hundred years and already forgotten.

Another anecdote, but this is exactly how I chose my last car. I went to CarMax, filtered by CarPlay integration, and then chose from what was available. In fact, the lack of CarPlay integration is one of the main reasons I didn't consider a Tesla at the time.

From basic things like a snappy interface and keeping my podcasts in sync, to suggesting the destination based on the recent maps search I did from my phone on the way to the car, the attention to detail makes it a better experience. I don't particularly get any joy out of driving. I just want to get to my destination safely and quickly, and CarPlay makes the process less taxing.
Just use figma. I cannot believe how good it is and how little of my design training+theory is needed with it.
The problem is that the technical resources required to pull something like this off don't seem to be all that high. You need a ton or so of explosives which is the hard part, a delayed fuse, a water proof container, a camera and light that work underwater, and some winches to deploy the camera and then the bomb. It wouldn't surprise me if almost every nation in Europe could pull this off if they put their minds to it, and a wide variety of sub-national groups as well.

About 12 years ago, I attended a barcamp (blast from the past) where someone gave an SEO talk about how to hack search and adwords to provide no value but capture eyeballs and trick people into clicking on things to make money. I recall many references to a wider community they were a part of that did this, traded tips and tricks, and generally evolved their trade of grifting at scale.

I can't help but feel there's a whole community of people out there with few morals who are trading tips on how to set up scams like this. The "web of lies" seems so deep and complicated I can't imagine this whole thing was built in a vacuum by one person.
Kwarteng's Plan
One thing I want to add that online people always say is “join a hobby group”, but most hobbies that young people actually want to do are extremely skewed to one gender. Think yoga vs kickboxing.

I did meetup.com for a few years, and the non-tech groups I joined were basically all 20-something single guys and 40-plus divorced women. Looking back it’s no surprise I gave up on it.

I had the best time joining something that was like a Rotary Club but they let in anyone who was willing to pay dues. I guess joining something with long term projects and monthly board meetings provides at least some slight potential to get to know someone who happens to be single.

Some ancedotal evidence to support what you're saying.

My first real development gig was for a startup in 2005. It was a small salesforce team, and I was a front-end guy. We had a small cluster of cubes in a two story, tiny office in a warehouse district. Indian guy sitting to my left kept getting up and going over and asking the team lead questions and then he'd go back to his desk. Repeat about every 20 minutes.

I come in one morning and he's at his desk, furiously paging through the ".Net Nuke for Dummies" book. Another day of him getting up and continually asking the team lead how to do stuff. Since this was constantly taking place out of my peripheral vision, it was really distracting. I finally asked the team lead to go to lunch. After we sit down, I ask him WTF is going on with the guy sitting next to me.

He rolls his eyes and tells me, "Dude, this is the second time this has happened. We interview a guy over Skype, he does well, passes the code challenge, and we hire him. He gets into our office and doesn't know how to do shit. I'm talking like basic shit man. Like, you're a front-end dev. It would be like hiring you and you come in and start asking how to write HTML. We're still trying to figure out how this scam works and we thought adding a code challenge would weed some folks out, but I guess not. Anyways, he'll be gone by the time we get back from lunch."

This all happened in 2005, almost 20 years ago. I've been at larger companies and have seen the same thing happen over the years. It seems like a cat and mouse game. As soon as you add something to try and weed these folks out, they figure out how to game whatever due diligence you've put in place and then it starts all over again.

While the WebSocket protocol indeed has built-in ping/pong, it's somewhat difficult to rely upon. Web browsers do not provide any API to send pings from the client side. As a result a lot of applications end up implementing application-level pings.

In order to support efficient WebSocket idling, we probably need to have some ability to respond to application-level pings without actually executing JavaScript. TBH I'm not exactly sure how this will work yet.

Jonathans. At least, the Jonathans in the Midwest. The texture becomes something like one of those modern cuisine emulsion/gelees, where it’s a toothsome shell that then bursts open with juice. They’re a very juicy apple generally, with good tartness.

And, NOT Jonagold. Jonagolds are insipid and lead to a mushy pie.

It’s hard to find Jonathans these days. On the east coast Northern Spy can be a suitable replacement. Staymans are recommended as a good pie apple, but they’re not even close in my experience.
This is by far the best feature of our BMW F10 (manufactured in 2014 IIRC). I hate the distraction of constantly checking my speed in town, where there is a mix of dense traffic, many obstacles, outright stupid cyclists ignoring all traffic rules and aggressive motorcycles drivers and tons of radars that fine hard.

I've noticed with my previous car (also BMW, E46 that I will remember fondly for the rest of my life as amazing car but not due to this) that if I looked at speed, my peripheral sight of whats happening on the actual road was almost 0. I may notice break lights of car close to me if its newer car, or an atomic blast, but anything else simply no. Just something very bad waiting to happen.

Its such a great safety feature even with minimal info (current speed, current speed limit, and if car navigation is on some basic directions, but maybe thats the key, don't clutter it with too much info) that I would make it mandatory if I were EU and subsidize it.

I think humans have demonstrated time and time again that densely constructed cities are a desirable place to live. Are there some people that would leave if these cities started loosening zoning and allowing dense construction? Sure - not everyone wants to live in a big city. But I would argue that the net change in population would still be massively positive.

Besides, why should existing homeowners get a monopoly on deciding what kind of city Santa Cruz should be? If there is a desire for dense housing, then dense housing will get filled. If you're right that people moving to these cities want suburbia then one would expect new multi-story apartments to go empty. But that's clearly not what happens.
So, did some research. TFL have not released hard figures in recent years, but it appears the delays due to jumpers are significantly down from their past near-daily occurance because of the installation of "suicide pits" to catch jumpers under many platforms and training staff to intervene when they spot a distressed person on the platform.
I wouldn't say that this is a operation for global hegemony or energy dominance. It's simply about preserving political influence in Europe. Unfortunately, I must say, Europe/the EU is not capable of a proper geopolitical strategy. Europe would easily be annihilated by Russian psyops, so in all that misery this brings to the alliance, it's still net positive.

Tech problems exist on the employer's end, that's all on them. If their Teams permissions don't allow someone external to join, then they aren't fit to be even trying to do remote hiring.

In 2022 there's virtually no excuse for a non-functional webcam on the candidate side though. If they don't have a dedicated camera, then most laptops come with one as standard nowadays. If they don't have a laptop, then they at least have a basic smartphone.

You'd have to be incredibly unlucky to have no webcam, no laptop and no smartphone. Yes, people without smartphones exist. But they are an absolute minority.

It's an almost incredible situation. Firefox and Safari have a setting to stop autoplay, but much of the time it doesn't actually work, and Chrome doesn't even seem to have a setting.

It's also amazing how when enough users decide that they hate some obnoxious web site behavior (pop-up windows, autoplaying video, etc.) enough to block it, the web site designer's response isn't "maybe we should be less obnoxious" but "how can we circumvent the user's preferences?"
