Let's saying the average human values shelter at $X. Even if it were always possible to arbitrarily build upwards, it still makes sense to buy land because the value of the land would be $X * number of people who want to live on the land. As long as the number of people who want to live on your land keeps growing, as seems to be the case in Santa Cruz, it makes sense to own land.

And of course, once you own the land, you may decide that maybe you don't want so many people around. The value of your land is based on desirability, not the actual density, after all. So 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.

I'm not making a moral claim that this is right or wrong. I'm simply pointing out that this incentive structure is inherent to land ownership in our country.
Given the test-driven nature of modern education in the US, having 1000 kids that can just read at grade level is better than having 985 kids at grade level, 5 below, and 10 above. Any resources spent on the latter would be better spent on the 5 that are below grade level.

From Matt Levine's 2019 column, investors, small or otherwise, who buy based on the fraudulent valuation:

The pastrami must be amazing. Small investors who get sucked into these situations are likely to be harmed eventually, yet the regulators – who are supposed to be protecting investors – appear to be neither present nor curious. From a traditional perspective, the market is fractured and possibly in the process of breaking completely.

I paid a cobbler $90 to resole(and re-cork) my birkenstocks after 2.5 years. It's been 4 years since I've done it, and they aren't even close to where they were when he did it. I honestly just wish I'd done it sooner. He re-corked them as well, but some of that is now falling apart. Might have to go back.
To be honest, I can't take a post seriously which debunks one claim and replaces it with an equally dubious, uncited claim, that the poster has "been hearing recently."

The amusing thing is that I saw this video popping up from Russian bots before I even saw the Nordsteam news. If you told me that they planned on blowing it up, then pushing the narrative that Biden blew it up, I'd totally believe it.

Some trainwreck interviews make for good office lore and this one tops the cake.
"Because, in order to be infinite, it must contain everything, including all concepts that are contradictory."

No, this is a common misconception but it is false. Consider the set of all even integers. It is infinite, but no matter how long you search you will never find 3. There is no sense in which "infinity" entails "all inclusive".

You can define "the set that contains everything", but it is also not terribly interesting that it contains "contradictions". Clearly the set that contains everything contains the propositions "2 is even" and "2 is not even", but... so what? All that implies is that contradictory claims exist, which is not even slightly profound. Prove contradictory claims are somehow both true and now you're cooking with philosophical gas, but the mere fact they can be defined is uninteresting. That is literally nothing more than the observation that both false and true statements exist.
I'm glad you had a good experience!

Making the iPhone more sticky seems like a solid play. Use the phone in place of a key. Keep maintenance records on the phone. Tap a few buttons on the app and give the dealer a virtual key to the car so you can get it serviced. States are already putting IDs in to apps and the wallet. etc.. Maybe use the phone for various road passes and such, that seems like an easy and natural extension.

Around the time the self-driving craze sort of took off, the noise in the echo chamber was that Apple was terribly far behind in 2 main categories: services and AI/ML. Now, they're charging ahead with services and they've got custom ML hardware on every single device they sell. A car seems like too big of a project with too much hype to use as a forcing function for all that stuff.

Seems like there are some strong health and safety plays as well. If you have a watch on, it already can do fall detection. Car crash detection is a logical next step, if all the passengers had watches on, they could start sending real-time telemetry to the paramedics, maybe encourage them to prioritize a passenger that was in greater distress. With the cameras and such, there is absolutely enough processing power in your iPhone to look for drivers falling asleep and with some other data they could probably make a pretty good guess if you're intoxicated.

My concern was that Apple would make a car and it would be a McLaren or something, it would be coveted, look amazing, and be just about completely unattainable. Now if I could buy a Toyota or a Hyundai and just plug my phone in and it became the brain of the car? I'd talk myself in to taking a new car for a test drive to try it.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen an HN post with text that light.

Of course there are many talented developers from India, but unfortunately they are overshadowed by the massive number of frauds to the extent that even people in an industry overflowing with performative leftists can't help but be a little prejudiced despite ourselves.

Good Indian devs, please run the frauds out of the industry one way or another. It'll be good for you as well as the industry as a whole.
Wouldn't that actually help? As another commenter said, some apps actually allow blocking random callers. So, presumably, such an app could be used instead of WhatsApp while still being able to contact people on that network. Kind of like in the '00s, when you could use pidgin or some other third-party app to avoid the annoyances of msn or yahoo messenger.

This is wrong (or at least, using a poor choice of definition of infinite).

Not to be too harsh, and judging by your response you did detect this bad interviewer, but IMO if someone can game your interviews in that manner, you need to re-evaluate how you do interviews.

E.g. a big part of our interviews is to ask about previous projects, pitfalls they hit, reasons they made certain technology choices, etc. I'm 100% sure that if the interviewer had no idea what they were talking about and was being fed answers it would be extremely apparent.

Tesla definitely has some smoke and mirrors going on and is clearly overvalued but I feel like calling them a meme stock at this point is pretty inaccurate. Teslas are on the road doing things and the company is selling them in pretty serious quantities... all against the seemingly iron willed determination of Elon Musk to bankrupt the company by creating a PR nightmare and wasting money.

I recently fixed a AV switcher (HD cinema stuff with custom programming by a media tech company) this way. The device costed 9k€ back in the day.

One day it died and took the whole room with itself. Because it also controlled the lights via DALI no light could be switched on or off in that room.

I figured out that the 24V "Medical Grade" (?) Made in China powersupply was toast. The typical bloated and leaking electrolytic capacitors were no surprise after nearly a decade of 24/7 operation. But there was also an exploded SOIC-14 IC by STM that I could not identify because coincidentally it was just the manufacturer part number that had been vaporized. A search for suspect parts didn't yield any results.

I checked ebay and found a used device for 100 Euros and bought it. The used device also had a broken PSU. But the IC was working (and yeah, nothing you would be able to buy). So I swapped the capacitors and everything worked again.

A replacement for that unit including programming would have costed my company 20k at least.

To be fair, it might not have been Costco's fault, it could have been the last guys to put the wheel on who impact gunned the fuck out of it, or shitty studs or lugs, or a combination of all three. That said, Costco should have had zero problems replacing a broken stud on the spot, any business who regularly removes wheel from cars should be prepared to replace a few studs here and there. It would be like hiring a guy to change your light fixtures but he can't finish because he didn't bring any spare wire nuts because he assumes their are already good wirenuts on the old light fixtures.

Nature inclines women to require quite a bit of effort and persistence to be won over, since they make so much investment and require so much help to birth and raise children. There is an intricate set of social norms, developed over centuries, that protects women from over-aggressive suitors while still allowing appropriate courtship to happen. Such courtship necessarily takes place where men and women naturally congregate together, including school and work and includes playful compliments and asking someone out a few times. Young women are naturally attracted to older successful men as good providers, just like as young men often initially go out with older women who are either past childbearing years or have their own practical and emotional resources rather than placing a big burden on their partners. There are reasons to prefer equal/same age relationships, but we shouldn't clutch our pearls when a boss dates a secretary. You can't just throw away hundreds of years of tradition and expect good results from counterfactual expectations on gender that you dreamed up from thin air. Just look at what happened with 20th century efforts to rewrite human nature by decree. Personally I am not in the market and not talking for myself, just feel sorry for the future of humanity. Especially progressive environmentalists got to realize that childless old people grow conservative and don't give a hoot about climate change after they are gone.

Ford's market cap is $47b. Apple has more than that free cash on hand. I suspect Apple would 'partner with', then eventually just subsume, an existing card company, if they really wanted to get in to this. You're buying a lot of existing infrastructure (dealers, parts, distribution, warehouses, etc) that would take a long time to replicate.

Yes but you already gave plenty of reasons before resorting to "that's the way we do things". And I think that's fine. What wouldn't have been fine would have been to skip the explanations.

Most people, given explanations, will accept them even if they don't agree with them. And quite often they will realize that there is more to the issue than they originally thought.
Not OP or in same situation.

Your line of questioning is not useful and is perhaps okay to use on 5year old child to eat broccoli.

I can use same argument you make for drugs or mass murders or anything else .

the rational way to evaluate an activity is the perceived value , effort needed and our desire to do it.

There could be informed discussion on why the perceived value is so low or natural desire is not strong, but arguing try it once is not helpful.

The recipe for what Santa Cruz is experiencing seems to be:

1. Locate the city in a geographically isolated, but beautiful area close to a major employment hub.

2. Institute strong anti-growth policies.

3. Invite a UC into town.

4. Allow the UC to expand without the matching requirement to build one market-rate housing unit per admitted student.

5. Wait a few decades.

What's great about this is how everyone is trying to get something for nothing. The students are trying to get a "UC" brand without the highly-selective entry requirements of other UCs, and largely bringing in loans to pay for it. The university is growing the student population without building sufficient student housing. Property owners benefit from skyrocketing values without experiencing the pain of finding a place to live, or proportionally exploding property taxes. The city benefits from the money the students bring with them in the form of debt.

I suspect this process would go into reverse rather quickly by taking a single step. Cut the federal loans program by 50%, then 10% per year for every year thereafter.

For extra bang, repeal Proposition 13.
At least you'll be safe from the blipverts.
It's reasonable to believe that if the USA has done this, the political destabilization that could occur from people realizing that America had engaged in an unprovoked act of war directly against supposed "allies", knowing full well the consequences might conceivably be people freezing to death and/or rolling blackouts that destroy their economy, would be far more important. If you want to see the rise of explicitly anti-American politicians in Europe then that would be an excellent way to do it.

Look at it this way - how do you think Biden would react if Germany mined a US LNG port?

It's funny how those are the same arguments people made when a company that built PCs started making phones. How could they compete with Verizon?! They were thinking evolutionary, but the iPhone had so many fundamental changes (technological, business, social) that upended an industry and made new ones. I'm not saying the car is a good idea, but Apple has overcome entrenched competition before with very capable competitors.
Yep, same here. The only time I use this bit of knowledge nowadays is in the console. If I see a tag has an ID, I save myself a few characters by just referring to it as a variable since I know it's already there anyways.

IDs were the only way to get a reference to an element early on if I'm remembering correctly. Or maybe the DOM API just wasn't well known. All the examples and docs just used IDs, that I can remember for sure.
what gets me about this story is that they chose a developer to impersonate who seems to have a pretty dang unique name. I share my name with only one other person in the world, but going by a quick google search at least, Connor is the only Connor Tumbleson in the world (or at least online). this seems like a pretty big liability—if I was in charge of running this nefarious group I would stay away from names like Connor Tumbleson, and instead go for impersonating Bob Johnsons and John Andersons or whatever.
yes, though, it is generally prefered to call it "omega" rather than "infinity".
Good advice.

It’s worth expanding on my comment now I have a few minutes. You can terminate solid core like this if it has some strain relief but not stranded!.

My favoured construction method is to take a Hammond box lid and screw a piece of blank FR4 single sided copper to the inside of it leaving enough space around the edges for any (proper) connectors you need. You can then drill out anything you need, usually BNC, SMA, DC jacks, FT capacitors and D connectors for me. You build the prototype on the FR4 board dead bug and use solid core or RG174 to wire up the connectors and lap solder them to the boards or components as required. This is done carefully with thought for weight distribution and to keep the total mass of the wires low. When it works the Hammond box is closed. If it needs to withstand vibration or moisture you build it into the bottom of the Hammond box and when done fill it with potting compound.

On LinkedIn how to avoid “I have a job for you” spammer (keyword matching) type
Any advices on linkedin (and on other career web sites) on how to avoid "I have a job for you" spammer (keyword matching) recruiters who did not even assess your current position to see if it makes sense for you to consider the position they are sending you. If you're at a higher grade, this ends up being ~99% miss and total waste of time. These recruiters, even if you give them a chance later, prove to be incapable of actual any level of quality in representing you.
I remember the times when much higher percentage of recruiting contacts were carrying some value and you could find good recruiters. Nowadays, recruiting profession seems to went quite downhill :-( Or is it that you just have to accept that today you have to search (active) by yourself or in rare cases if contacted by internal/corporate HR/recruiters to follow.
I am curious to hear any advices or useful opinions?
