> I see that there are certain situations where ex post, you get some weird outcomes where _hypothetically_ ranking your preferred candidate lower would have helped your candidate.

It's not even that strong -- it's outcomes where ranking your second-most preferred candidate above your preferred one will help get that second-most preferred candidate elected, as opposed to a third one you detest -- if you know your most preferred candidate won't be elected.

Which makes sense, of course. But it's also "cheating" to manipulate the system if those aren't your actual preferences, and it wouldn't even work in practice because you'd have to know how everyone voted in the first place to know if it was worth it.

You're right, it seems fair to me too in this instance.
I donated money ONCE. I get tons of spam not only from the precise org I donated to, but from a variety of candidates spread all over the place. While I'm motivated to see them win, it makes no sense to me to donate to someone who I can't vote for.

https://xkcd.com/radiation/ lead me to believe that most x-rays only expose the person to a few days worth of background radiation. Is that accurate? And does it really matter?
Yes, they should build more. But again, that's just pushing the core problem away from SF (one of the most notable cities in the US for over a century, with a history of economic booms and high migration) to what was until recently a large-ish college town known as a haven for slackers.

Having lived in one of those cities as a low-income resident, a medium-income resident, and now a high-income resident, I assure you that the high income residents do much less for these cities than any other group. And no, taxes do not make up for it.
Crazy the exposure this group is getting. HN? Noise record collecting me in high school would be delighted to know the world of coders was as eclectic and culturally tuned in as he had hoped.
Personally, I think that both TV and movies are going to be driving VR adoption. The Netflix of VR movies could be huge if they were able to offer the right content. A fully virtual theatre that gets new releases could also be big. The edge that VR had in these areas is that it essentially gives you a private theatre that you can enjoy with your friends and family. Leveraging a social network so that you can deliver notifications like “X is currently watching Y. Click to join” would be big. People already kind of do this with watch parties and discord.
Would this mean that cannabis is effectively legal in DC?
thank you, I try my best.

the "FB as virtues" is an insight I glimpsed through Stratechery's analysis of Facebook's woes [1].

> All news sources are competing on an equal footing; those controlled or bought by a party are not inherently privileged.

> The likelihood any particular message will “break out” is based not on who is propagating said message but on how many users are receptive to hearing it. The power has shifted from the supply side to the demand side.

> on Facebook both small companies and large companies have an equal shot at customers, and both Party insiders and complete outsiders have an equal shot at voters.

so then, apparently democracy is good, justice is good, but everything is better in moderation, including these 'good' things.

the algorithmically driven market made all participants far more equal than they wanted to be; so they decided to destroy it.

If your current prices are half ours, and a small influx can double prices in a year, then QED.
It is however somewhat reassuring to know that something like feature creep or second system syndrome predates the digital computer.
Or they simply watched everything they were interested in watching on the first service so there was no point in keeping the subscription active. It's not like it takes any effort to cancel. They will come back to it later (it's easy at most to reactivate a dormant subscription) when it has accumulated enough new stuff.

That's what I've been doing for the streaming services that aren't bundled with something else I have for reasons other than video streaming (Prime Video because I have Amazon Prime, Hulu because I have Spotify, Peacock Premium because I have XFinity as my ISP, and Paramount+ because I have Walmart+).

For example a couple months before "Avengers: Endgame" was released I realized that I had to see it in theaters. My previous approach for Marvel movies of waiting until they showed up on some non-premium cable channel like FXX meant I was a couple years behind, and I realized there was no way I'd be able to avoid major spoilers while waiting to see Endgame that way. So I got a month of Netflix (they had all the Marvel movies back then) and caught up on Marvel, and a few other things, then cancelled.

Later I got Disney+ for a week (free trial) and caught up on Disney and Pixar animated movies (Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Frozen II, Onward), watched Captain Marvel, rewatched Endgame to see what I'd missed on my bathroom break when I saw it in theaters, and watched the Star Wars trilogy that starts with The Force Awakens, watched Rogue One, and cancelled.

Right now, a couple years later, I'm back on Disney+, because they sent me on offer for a month for $1.99. I've caught up again on Pixar (Soul, Luca, Turning Red), Disney animation (Ralph Breaks the Internet, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto), Marvel (Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, the Loki series), some Simpsons shorts, and am trying to decide if there is any new Star Wars that interests me. When the month is up I will rewatch Luca once or twice, and then cancel.

I'll be back on Netflix for a month probably next year to watch Lucifer.

I'll also probably at some point do a month of HBO Max for South Park.
What is stopping them to force you to give access to your cloud providers though?

I think there are solutions to make hidden partitions. You would have have to create a clean, plausible system to show potential attackers.

Still feel that clouds providers are a bigger attack surface than encrypted local data. To get you cloud data an attacker would just need to be able to compel you to give the password. With local data, they also need to get physical access to it. You could for example decide to not take your laptop to a potential dangerous meeting and store it somewhere safe.

Plus, cloud provider have way more attack surface area. They get regularly hacked. Some state actors already have back doors or can otherwise compel the provider to hand out your data.

The more I think about the more I think storing sensitive data in the cloud is not a good idea for privacy and security.
What are unrealized market losses on convertible securities?

$84.9 billion net loss?

I’m so confused.
Seems like a lot of comments here are quick to fit this into a moral narrative.

The survey results aligned with my impression from talking to folks in the Bay area over the years: Most don't like how expensive it is and are there primarily for the jobs. Once more companies became open to remote work, the value of being in Silicon Valley went down. If housing prices don't drop fast enough to match that, then simple cost-benefit analysis says that people will want to leave. Sure, the weather's nice, but it's not that nice.

People here are saying that this will make other cities unaffordable, but I don't think that really holds up. There's many many cities that people leaving Silicon Valley to move to and distributing the load across all of them should be easily absorbed. Sure housing costs will go up some, but this is not going to turn Spokane into SF. Obviously, it would be great if housing was miraculously cheap everywhere, but that's not reality. Slightly more expensive everywhere and significantly cheaper in Silicon Valley is probably a net win for the country. (Remember that non-tech people do still live in Silicon Valley.)

This seems like an overall good thing to me. The US has been struggling under an incredibly painful demographic shift. We outsourced our manufacturing jobs to China and automated away most of our agricultural jobs. This forced a huge migration into the relatively small number of metro areas with significant service and tech economies, but those cities physically can't grow as fast as people want to move there.

Giving information workers more remote work opportunities lets the country load balance jobs more effectively across its existing physical infrastructure.
I don't understand how medical insurance companies can choose what treatments can be applicable to what patients and yet not be as liable as a doctor for medical malpractice.
Note this applies only to citizens and lawful permanent residents. I’m not sure if there’s an underlying constitutional limitation or if it’s arbitrary, but (IANAL) it seems arbitrary as the cited section has no such limitation.

I welcome any progress towards decriminalization and legalization, but I think it’s important always to be aware when and how the progress is limited.
Everyone already knows this is a real effect, but this article doesn’t really add anything to the conversation. It doesn’t detail how these “straightforward manipulations” happen, as promised, and only links to a paywalled paper as evidence. I wonder if the author read the paper or whether they are just elaborating on the abstract?
Seattle of the 80's and 90's comes to mind, when they hated having people move north from CA. They now have traffic jams in Seattle just like we do in SV.

Only code matters is a weird take. Even excluding sales, marketing, strategy and other functions,
just within Engineering, having people who unblock other people,
deal with cross cutting concerns, make sure the new starter in them team doesn’t leave because everyone else was too busy to help them, etc. are critical.

Your IDE thing probably only applies to a 3 person startup where one or two of them are coding.

I agree with you: fix what needs to be fixed. But that can be human things too, not just code.
Usually when agile approaches (kanban or scrum) fail it is because there's an unsolvable bottleneck.
Typically too small team, lacking knowledge or skill for the scope, problematic environment (development or socially) or someone is pushing "done" work causing skyrocketing development debt that quickly comes to a head - typically a prototype remains in production, switching too early to maintenance mode for business reasons.

Waterfall cannot identify those risks without huge experience. Scrum tends to exacerbate some of them. Kanban with sufficient number of phases tends to expose the problem, but not necessarily fix it.
Pilot unions have gotten the shit kicked out of them for years. 1970 wants its argument back.

Tickets are fungible and people will make insane choices to save a dollar. The constrained resource is gates. The network effects that make big airlines viable are expensive, so without regulation there’s always upstarts who drive the price as low as possible. That’s why Emirates is fancy.

If you live near NYC, there is an airport in Newburg that attracts weird financial engineering airlines that leverage leases to fly international cheaply. When I saw Hamilton, I flew Norwegian airlines from NY to London for $24. The long term parking cost more.

It’s an industry where the low barrier to entry ensures that the industry as a whole is barely profitable.
I've seen the Wolf in a few companies and they are given some special treatment for sure. The corporate equivalent of the babe and the sports car.

Years ago, one of them had a Macbook Pro while the rest of us were dealing with garbage Dell laptops that barely worked due to aggressive security scanners. He got his turned off by IT.
Yeah, Austin and Denver et al have also failed in their housing policy, for pretty much the same reasons as SV. No argument there. But it's hard to deny that SV's wealth explosion and exodus has not contributed to the problems in these cities.

I'm not sure which highschool you attended, but I can assure you, kids are in fact sexually active.

Moreover, I'm not sure if you know this, but in general, people can experience sexual attraction without being sexually active. Maybe it's different for you, in which case, just know that in this case it's probably better to switch from extrapolating from personal experience to gathering external evidence.

I think you meant to "here's" instead of "that's".

I haven't heard of anyone using "conversion therapy" on children to make them straight (maybe for teens or adults in the 60s or something, and in fringe groups after that). But there is certainly a booming industry around giving children puberty blockers and hormone therapy

Also there aren't trans children without adults who are leading them into believing that they are in the wrong body, be it through positive reinforcement, abuse, or whatever other means

Your final point is pretty loaded. Children don't have romantic feelings, but they will express fondness for others by emulating things that they see adults doing. I don't think you were a "bisexual child" since you were (hopefully) not being sexually engaged as a child
Your last sentence is not true for facebook and other companies that operate at such scale. Good luck mounting a successful lawsuit against their legal team. Good luck getting their sheep users to jump ship given they haven't already after countless events that harmed their reputation. Good luck passing pro consumer regulation when industry is allowed to lobby, fund political advertisements, and donate money to campaigns.
Interesting story, but the drunk driver angle is irrelevant and only there for clickbait purposes. During the development of the project, a drunk driver crashed while delivering an early prototype of Sputnik that was not going to fly anyway because it was too heavy and complicated. Ok, the drunk driver "led" to the birth of Sputnik.

Should I quote myself a 3rd time with the analogy pointing out that just because you can get somewhere using only right turns doesn't mean that's how you should do it?
Economies of Scale and Network Effects are distinct business powers.

"Network Effects" means the Nth person doing business with the company generates more value for the business's service to everyone else, all else equal. I don't think airlines have network effects. There isn't much benefit to flying a highly-trafficked airline vs a lower-trafficked airline, provided they have the same routes. (If anything, this might be marginally inversely correlated? Small airlines seem to have a better experience than the big ones)

"Economies of Scale" means that cost of goods sold becomes a lower percentage of revenue as revenue grows. This doesn't hold true for airlines, because jet fuel & taxes thereon, and leasing gate space make up the biggest fixed costs IIRC. Bigger airlines don't have a lot of negotiating edge vs small ones, here. Plus, big airlines have an exponential logistical problem to solve, which is costlier to solve "at scale". Thus, profit scales basically linearly (some might argue sub-linearly) with revenue.

There are indeed regional economies of scale for those airlines that invest in monopolizing growing transit hubs. Virgin Airlines and Southwest built their businesses on them, and are well-studied examples. But they are not durable over a long enough time horizon, and don't "scale" up to bigger footprints.

Airlines "own" far too little of their costs, and startup cost is far too low, for them to be durable and large business.

The dynamic is terrible for value investors like BRK, but arguably quite great for consumers (fliers). And not too shabby for early-stage investors, either.
One answer to your question is probably "because he spent his limited political capital trying to ensure everyone in America had access to healthcare."

Another would be that he actually laid the groundwork for this kind of action. Obama made pursuing marijuana convictions the lowest possible priority for federal prosecutors and law enforcement officials [0], effectively saying "if states want to make weed legal, the federal government isn't going to do anything about it." After that, a number of states held referenda on legalizing weed, and most passed with broad support. This is the next logical step at the federal level - pardoning anyone who was convicted during that period and taking steps towards changing marijuana from a schedule 1 drug (where it has never belonged) to something more reasonable. [1] No president can fully legalize weed at the federal level, but they can reschedule it based on the actual cost/benefits to individuals and society.

Another more cynical answer is that Obama is black, and didn't want the legacy of the first black president to also be "the one who pardoned all the drug offenders"

I'm not sure, it depends on how good the UX and trustless/low trust custodial services get[1]. I don't think crypto will ever be for "my grandma" for example. But I could see it being easy and safe enough for my dad, who knows what phishing is, would understand what private keys are, etc.

[1] This is too long to explain but basically something similar to multisig and time locks to add extra security. Nothing like this exists at least easy to use right now.
No, it's really TrueType. Font hinting. I don't know if the patents were not enforced at all, but it was a headache for many years since many distros would cripple truetype renderers. Never used cleartype or any type of RGB subpixel rendering since it prevents rotating the displays.
There would be a lot of losers switching from the water rights system to a market. Essentially everyone who uses water now would have to pay for something they're getting for free now. This would put many farms etc out of business, raise taxes for municipalities etc. The only winners would be folks that want more water and now can buy it.

As such it's politically untenable.

Of course there's the question of who gets the revenue. All the states on the colorado would have to agree (very hard!). Does it go into general revenue? Is it split across current water users to mitigate the raised prices (and if so, how long do they have the right to free money)? Does it go to municipalities so they get free water?
After WWII, Europe's industry was effectively destroyed. The USA enjoyed prosperity as it was the only industrial power left standing. The unemployment rate from 1951 to 1953 were 3.3, 3.0, and 2.9 percent. [1]

Anyone who wanted a job got a good paying job. It was possible in those days for the average American to support a household as the sole breadwinner. What is happening now is that those halcyon days are over. Things are more competitive. We have not approached the cut throat levels as they have in South Korea. American jobs today pay less and have less benefits than in the 1950s. We are headed towards a two tier economy. Full time employees with benefits. Gig workers who wander from job to job with no benefits.

As far as why I'm interested in these buckets - it's because this seems to be a very pressing matter of national concern - isn't there a supreme court case regarding this issue on the docket now?

The Solver archetype and mindset if often overlooked and unrewarded in large organizations where staff level engineers are expected to be bogged down either with "strategic" work, or other high level bureaucratic shenanigans. If you're a "solver", the trick is to meticulously gather metrics about the impact of your work, and always put them front and center when you communicate about what you've achieved.
