Your straw–man situation isn’t relevant, and it doesn’t matter which option bystanders like us think is “right”. What matters is what is observed after the fact. If we observe that things with value are destroyed because of an accessibility law, then the law is a bad one.

Just three or four years ago one of the best restaurants in my town was shut down because the restrooms weren’t accessible. The restaurant owner hadn’t realized it was a problem; she didn’t own the building, and the building predates the ADA. 26 years ago when she moved in she had asked the owner to rebuild the restrooms, but the landlord refused. Then one day a lawyer walked into the restaurant, looked at the restrooms, and walked out. A week later he is back with a lawsuit. The landlord still doesn’t care because the lawsuit is against the restaurant owner, and if she goes out of business the landlord can have another tenant in there in a week.

Between the settlement, the cost of the remodel, and 9 months of lost revenue, the restaurant owner spent approximately half a million dollars on a restroom. Worse, she’s never had a customer in a wheelchair in the years since. Nobody except the lawyer and the contractors benefited at all; it’s pure broken–window fallacy.
If you wonder how the `opacity` and `fill` in Photoshop layers differ (other than `fill` not affecting layer effects like shadow): the color of the layer is multiplied by the `fill`, then the result + color of the layer below are used to calculate the color based on blend mode, and then opacity lerps between the result of this calculation and the layer below. Lerp is simply linear interpolation TOP × OPACITY + BOTTOM × (1-OPACITY).

Almost all of the ionosphere's total thickness is below 550km, so the lower altitude doesn't matter. Starlink sees less impact from the ionosphere because the carrier frequencies are higher, and dispersion is proportional to 1/f^2.

I suspect protesting the war was all the rage within your peer group/bubble as it was in mine (a rather well-to-do high school), but nationally the war was quite popular and I heard many a time from supporters how "Bush kept us safe". He also went on to be the only Republican to win the popular vote (2004) since his father won it in 1988, largely attributed to the positive response to 9/11 and the wars. Of course, that all faded pretty quickly.

Tesla and SpaceX are both originally his! And the "emerald mine" thing is a myth.
One thing we always collectively fail at addressing is how to classify housing in a special category of goods, where simple free-market rules don't apply. Things like rent-control are in this direction, yet we never articulate what the goals are and the compromises we're willing to make.

Allowing the next generations a good start in life means that everyone that wanted houses to be a great investment need to take a loss, there's simply no way around this and we should collectively accept this.

I'd also be for completely different taxation levels depending on if this is your first, second or third home (properly handling even if first buying before selling within x months, so you only have a single home), if you're a company, if you're a foreign citizen that merely wants to snatch some random safe property.

Some problems really need a complex, evolving and carefully weighed solution, and housing really has been shamefully abused so that the haves screw other the not-yet-haves.
Tesla might be the most profitable business Musk is involved in, but SpaceX is nearest and dearest to his heart. It’s worth more to Musk than one factory which, after Berlin and Austin finish ramping up, will represent just one quarter of their global factory capacity.

IMHO, I think would be more likely that Musk would divest his entire ownership of Tesla than do anything which would compromise the long-term mission of SpaceX.

Hi! I'm the author of Wayflan.

I chose to use FFI for sockets so that I can have access to sendmsg(), which lets me send file descriptors on the same message as mundane I/O. It also comes with a small bonus that I get to use scatter/gather arrays to move I/O around, which means less byte-shifting when having to deal with incomplete messages.

I'm not sure I understand your question between sockets vs. FFI. Anything not built on FFI would have to come from an impl extension (or a compatibility layer, which would still have to be built on-top of the former two). AFAIK not even SBCL's sb-posix send fd's across -- they still list sendmsg() in a TODO.

As for latency, I haven't benchmarked performance yet. I want to write a collection of desktop apps driving Wayflan to make sure the API is solid, before I do any benchmarking. However, I know one possible advantage over C's libwayland. Libwayland stores a message signature as a string, which runs through an "interpreter" to learn how to decode a message. Wayflan expands a message signature into a function directly via a couple layers of macros.
I haven't used a Pro so I guess I can't properly compare them, but I've used the pencil quite a bit on my Air and I don't feel any latency at all

Just saying something twice doesn't make it true. The "weird" thing you were perhaps referring too starts at very beginning of quantum mechanics framework. The Born rule is just a "conversion" of predictions of quantum framework to our classical language. The only option you have is to reject quantum mechanics as a whole and not try to patch it - because this clearly will not work.

You can also distribute different torrents, it's easier.

Or multiple IPFS CIDs. I think you can have a "directory" (CID) that contains multiple CIDs, and only need the content hashes to build it.

You can also publish multiple CIDs and ask people to seed random ones; that's how Libgen does it (and is similar to the multiple torrents concept).

The same file can be used to seed both torrents and IPFS.

55-64 11.9 10.7 10.7 10.2 10.2 10.0 10.0

Though the report that you're most likely interested in is https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1984/10/art2full.pdf

> In 1983, more than 1 worker in 3 aged 35 to 44 had been with the same employer 10 years or longer and almost the same ratio of workers 45 and older had worked for the same employer 20 years or more

> Among the principal findings:

> One worker in 6 has been with his or her employer for at least 15 years. Among workers aged 45 and over, nearly one-third have been with their current employer for 20 years or more.

Comparing that with the current one https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/tenure.pdf table 3

.... <12m : 13-23m : 2y : 3-4y : 5-9y : 10-14y : 15-19y : 20+y

(the 20+ row is everyone aged 20 and older)

The corresponding for 2022 would be:

> 2022, about 1 worker in 4 aged 35 to 44 has been with the same employer or longer, which is almost the same ratio as workers 45 to 54 working for the same employer for 20 years or more.

> Amount the principal findings:

> One worker in 18 has been with his or her employer for at least 15 years. Amount workers aged 45 to 45, less than one fifth has been with their current employer 20 years or more. This climbs to slightly more than one quarter for workers aged 55 or older.

Then, I see the screenshot appear in the lower right, and then it appears on my desktop, and I have to either a) re-copy and re-paste or b) drag the desktop image to my destination. Am I not doing the right method? Note: I'm a Mac user for >15 years.

Prices for rent are such a weird ratchet effect, they may only go up. It basically shows that landlords really aren't that interested in being efficient market actors, it's also about validating their own egos (even on an institutional level). If prices were to decrease, then they may see a direct loss of revenue, versus an empty unit which is simply an "unrealized asset"

Apple hardware design has become incredibly stale and iterative over the last decade. Most of their products are either white injection moulded plastic, or a CNC machined metal enclosure with rounded corners and glass.

I suspect this is due to the ops teams at Apple ruling the roost: they made a huge investment in CNC machines to scale to iPhone/Mac volume and a break from this would be too disruptive.

If you had to design to this constraint, wouldn't it become boring?

I'm a physician and former engineer and I agree with you. Even the giant tech companies that are in this space seem to have very little insight into how to utilize AI to improve healthcare.

The mistake everyone seems to make is thinking that making a diagnosis is what makes medicine hard. It's not. e.g. An algorithm that can diagnose diabetic retinopathy from fundus photos 'as well as a specialist' makes for a good headline, but isn't particularly useful. Medicine is nothing like "House" in real life. AI should be leveraged to either improve efficiency or develop novel tools.
Frightening Bug in Memoji Stickers
What is a color image? An RGB image of pixels. Put another way, three images with red, blue and green filters.

If Mary could only see black and white, reading every book about color would not give her the experience of red. Like a child could read every book on cycling, but not know how to ride a bicycle.

However if Mary could interface a color camera to her visual cortex, she would experience red over time. She could add a bigger spectrum of infra red and ultraviolet and be able to experience more than a normal human being.

Similarly for cycling, if someone had VR goggles, and could simulate forces on their body, they would learn how to ride a bicycle.

Words and writing are a highly compressed version of shared experiences. When we read "red apple fell from the tree", our minds are creating simulations of apple, tree, falling symbols from the raw experiences we've perceived.

To understand an "apple" we have to see many different kinds of apples, taste them, touch them, feel their texture and weight, smell them, the sound when we bite them. All of that is compounded into the symbol "Apple". But we also disambiguate the internal symbol {apple} from the fruit Apple and company Apple.

Are you sure there's no in-between? I gave this grand total of few seconds of thought. Could perhaps the government or the city step in and provide wheelchair accessibility to select restaurants, based on feasibility, cost, location, and perhaps some other criteria?

Restaurant owners suffer because of these laws. Are you 100% sure the suffering of the restaurant owners under these laws is lesser than the suffering of the disabled without these laws?
I don't think they're lower, but they're different. Notably, Alphabet employees of the other Bets (Waymo, Loon, Verily, etc.) get stock in the bet rather than GOOG stock. This is privately held and so a lot less liquid than GOOG, and you lose your unvested shares if you transfer to the mothership. It has a lot of the same risk/reward tradeoffs as working for a startup.

Ask HN: Value of working at a large company, is my calculation correct?
I was conversing with a friend about working at a large company after the initial burst of growth was over and the founders had left. How much sense does it make as an engineer?

Let's take the example of Microsoft. Let's take 2002 as the start time and 2022 as the end time.

The total valuation of Microsoft between the phase has changed from 276.63 billion(2002) to 1.787 Trillion(2022). Inflation-adjusted, 276.63 Billion from 2002 is 455 Billion in 2022. The total value gain is 1.332 T .

The total salary given to employees in this period is let's suppose 250000$ avg salary * 125000 employees * 20 = 625 Billion $ (This number is possibly around 500 Billion but let's assume this is the number given there are other employee-related expenses like office space, parties, gym, etc). We also have to assume that the salaries paid come from the company's revenue and value produced. So the actual value produced is 1.332 T + 625 B = 1.957 T $.

So the percentage of value given to employees is 625/1957 * 100 = 31%.

===============================

Conclusion 1: IF investors and founders who don't work in the company own more than 69% of the company, you are better off working for Microsoft.

Conclusion 2: If you are a good worker, you give 69% of what you produce to get the semblance of security and salary at Microsoft.

Conclusion 3: If you are a startup founder, you better have made much more cash than the top 5% of employees at Microsoft before giving away 69% of the company to investors.

As someone who has been reading and posting here regularly since 2009, here's what I'm finding: The further I get in my pursuits, the more my concerns and tribulations become specialized and weird. To get a useful answer from the public internet would require so much backstory and explanation that it's barely worth trying. And the answer would likely be wrong or not useful.

Instead real world social networks and specialized micro communities are where it's at. A lot of paid consultations as well. Pay a few hundred (or thousand) bucks to an expert and get the correct customized answer to a specific problem. Worth every penny compared to reading tea leaves off the wild internet.
