Indeed, that means you only have to pay 25% while achieving a 75% reduction. Though it's hard to believe there's a game plan here.

However, I have a suspicion that there is a certain type of person with low self esteem and high intelligence that will respond very well to being treated this badly.
I think the root issue is one of which state is the default one. In Android the logged-in state is the default one, and the logged-out state is constructed by taking the logged-in state and essentially hiding it behind a modal.

The issue with this is that systems have a tendency to return to their default state. If the modal is dismissed or has a bug that makes it crash or has a memory corruption, or any number of things then the system will return to the default state.

I would turn it upside down, and let the logged out state be the default one. The logged-in state is then a lockscreen that is hidden behind a session. If the session dies you are back at the lock screen. The lock screen can't be dismissed because it's always there. If the lockscreen crashes the phone locks up completely because there is nothing else there to show.

It's acceptable for failures and exceptions to decrease privilege (boot you out), but they must never increase it.

Edit: Ideally the lockscreen should also run with reduced privileges so that it literally can't start a session even if it wants to, except indirectly by supplying a password to some other system.
It used to get brought up every time asyncio was mentioned on here.

I either use multiprocessing, or celery. using async/await looks ugly, doesn't solve most problems I would want it to, and feels unstable.

Maybe once development around it settles down I'll revisit, but I can't imagine wanting to use it in it's current form.

This is the chart I am referring to concerning mortgage payments, which IMO have remained within 10 percentage points of where they've been since 2000:

https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/6/7/saupload_mo...

There is a sharper rise now of higher payments, but historically its not even where it was in 2006 and still is lower than figures not seen in this present chart, like the the 1980s.

In the end home prices don't march up in a vacuum, the money has to come from somewhere. People pay these prices and they can do so because they are skilled workers who are paid such incomes to afford homes in the Bay area or Boston or other high cost of living areas. It's not all private equity. When you add more high income jobs to an area than units of housing for decades, a housing crisis for the working class is the natural result, but for high income earners they will always be paid enough to afford the median mortgage payment or else the median will shift accordingly to meet the market where it is.
It would probably be a stretch and overreach, but the angle I would take is that they are competing not on the merit of their products.

Consider airline miles. Each time I purchase a ticket, instead of choosing the best deal (fair competition), I am incentivized to choose an airline I have chosen in the past so as not to fragment my points across several accounts. And of course, these "rewards" are all a price passed on to the consumer.
A lot of this has changed over the past 10 years because of digitization. By removing the need to physically file paperwork or physical verification, there's less opportunity or ability for low level bribe taking.

This is where I find out my otherwise completely functioning Pixel 3a no longer gets security updates, as of May.

I knew and accepted that it wouldn't get new features and major android versions, but to not even get security updates, after only three years?

So my options are: live with the piece of technology in my life that is both the most vunerable to physical security issues and has the widest access to my critical information no longer getting active security updates, attempt to root it and install my own build (is cyanogenmod still a thing?), or throw a working piece of complex technology in the trash?

For people considering adding Markdown support to web browsers or other publishing tools, please consider adopting Djot instead: https://github.com/jgm/djot

It's very similar to the Markdown syntax we all know and love/hate, but fixes many inconsistencies in the spec, and also makes it possible to parse a document in linear time, with no backtracking. It is also much fuller-featured than commonmark, with support for definition lists, footnotes, tables, several new kinds of inline formatting (insert, delete, highlight, superscript, subscript), math, smart punctuation, attributes that can be applied to any element, and generic containers for block-level, inline-level, and raw content.

Some examples, showing how Djot would be rendered into HTML:

Multi level marketing is closely related but distinct from a pyramid scheme. The critical difference is the actual generation of profits and the health of the organization through time.

Franchise agreements can similarly look really sketchy on the surface especially with a large buy-in, but it’s hard to argue a Mcdonald's franchise agreement is a scam due to the real profits and costs involved. Which isn’t to say every franchise agreement is a good investment.

Where things break down for MLM is really the specific business model and percentages involved. If say 4% of a sales guy’s check gets sent to the chain of people who recruited him then no big deal. However, large percentages or large buy can quickly become very problematic.

Germany had their cheap energy trade agreement with Russia blocked for years by US, and recently had their pipelines attacked. Their ability to freely grow in power is constrained. If they got as even close to as powerful as the US did or were even rising as they have been recently, their neighbors would meddle in their affairs and block their progress. Russia, France, UK, etc. So, US not having a close competitor has aided them greatly in dominating their hemisphere and using the resources available to them to grow into the global power.
I don't know how much commercial real estate costs, but in the region around Twitter's HQ it's about $5-$6k for a 1000 square foot apartment

Assuming it's the same price per square foot for commercial space, that's less than $1000 a month for a 100 square foot office for each employee. Considering these employees are making more than 20x that, if offices could improve their productivity, it seems like it'd be well worthwhile

First of all, that isn't the word that racist, slave-owning, plantation-owning population would use. If you are going to make a reference to our sad history in the United States of chattel slavery, use the accurate word. It doesn't do anyone a service to water down the absolute dehumanization the enslaved experienced at the hands of their "owners" (I quote that word to show disdain for the concept of humans owning humans, not to minimize the fact of ownership).

Secondly, you have some gall to compare a CEO setting policies that are well within the confines of labor laws with human slavery. Beyond the absurdity of your comparison, don't forget that Twitter employees literally have the right to walk away. That is the antithesis of slavery.

You are doing your own argument a massive disservice by making such absurd accusations. Instead of arguing on the merits of remote vs. in-person work, you invite an argument on your analogies. This is the same as calling anyone you disagree with politically a Nazi. Not only does it debase the absolute evil practiced by actual Nazis, it ends any chance of effective debate.

Be better than that, please.

After using gevent for about a decade I have started using asyncio for new projects, just because it's in the standard library and has the official async blessing of the Python gods. Indeed it is way harder. I'm always coming up against little gotchas that take time to debug and fix. Part of me enjoys the challenge of learning something new and solving little puzzles. It's getting easier, especially as I build up a collection of in-house async libraries for various things. As for performance, it's not too bad for mostly io bound tasks, which is why one uses async in the first place. Some tight loop benchmarks for message passing with other processes show it to be about half the speed of gevent in my case, which is fine. It's nice to be able to deploy async microservices without installing gevent, and there's a certain value to the discipline that it imposes. I like how I am able to bring non-async code into the async world using threading. I imagine the performance would improve quite a bit with pypy, perhaps exceeding that of gevent. Gevent makes it so damn easy, I've been spoiled. I was disappointed when asyncio came out, as I would have preferred the ecosystem moved in the gevent direction instead; but I'm coming around. It's super annoying how the python ecosystem has been bifurcated with asyncio. You really have to choose one way or another at the beginning of a project and stick with it.

And yeah, async programming (in Python) isn't really for CPU bound stuff. You might benefit from multiprocessing and just use asyncio to coordinate, which is what it excels at. PyPy can really help with CPU bound stuff too, if the code is mostly pure Python.

Well India didn't have an event where the locals that spoke different were massacred or reeducated/"civilized" like the other super powers of the US and China.

Actually the idea of modern India is mostly a product of the British, so in that aspect they are a young nation.
Also the mission. If I didn't have a great gig right now, I would absolutely join Twitter, just for the opportunity to add new features and prove that the old Twitter was sorely underperforming and that Twitter can be a force for free speech, which I believe in an absolute right.

That article is miniscule and mostly just links to the tweets. After the 3 sentence preview which is visible to anyone it has 1 more sentence (a quote from SBF) then "Other highlights from his series of tweets" followed by 5 short 1 sentence bullet points summarizing things from the tweets. Then an embed of the first tweet wraps it up.
Oh, wow! I had been trying to develop a pattern like this out a few years ago, ~2016 (at the time, called Action-Flow), but ended up shifting out of test as a primary focus before I could put polish on it and make it cohesive enough to publish something.

I hadn't realized there was prior art to look at or potentially clone by mistake. I wonder how old this pattern is.

Thanks for showing me!

We need leaders around the world to move off of cheap energy (ie, oil and gas) and subsidize it for developing countries. We need strict penalties for producers and we need to get off of animal products.
There are a few reasons why A.I. projects commonly fail:

① Insufficient or poor quality training data (e.g. better an old algorithm on good data than a cutting edge algorithm on poor data)

② No calibration. Calibration seems to be the best kept secret in ML (people know need good training data but they are lazy or not brave enough to insist on it... I've made that mistake, but https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/calibration.html seems to be truly obscure) In the case of a trading strategy or other commercial action you would be calibrating on expected return or possibly something that balances risk and return like Sharpe ratio.

③ Non-stationarity. Distributions are changing all the time on their own, but in markets they get changed by your own actions and those of people following the same strategy of you.

This book has a great study of a hedge fund strategy that burned out the way many algorithmic strategies do

https://www.amazon.com/Hedge-Funds-Perspective-Financial-Eng...

I think it's key that the burnout happens because of greed. A given strategy can absorb a certain amount of capital. When more capital gets attracted to the strategy the returns inevitably go down, market participants can try to make up for this by increasing the leverage but you can see how that goes... So I would still blame too much greed and too much capital because it inevitable that markets fluctuate.
You literally started your comment with "honestly"…

>Sending untrained people with guns to deal with mental health and or drug addictions is just stupid.

Cops are untrained, but a larger budget would help them train (and hire enough people). I haven't been to San Francisco, but everyone here loves to complain about how it's gone to shit essentially because cops don't enforce any of these things.

Is this accurate? Sounds like more cops would help, rather than less.

Quite normal. If it's any consolation, it's only for the first year or two. Their immune systems improve quickly.
That's the thing though, you or whoever are getting offended because people don't use drastically negative and judgemental undertones: "man be bad and not help women".

Men's frustrations domestically must always be framed in a way where men are doing something bad to women. As opposed to just not wanting to do certain work, or disagree about how it should be done (or whether it should be done).

Men are not saying that women should pick up the slack (others might be, but here we aren't). They're saying we'll just not have family, or the work should just not get done sometimes.

Further, I would speculate that if women are (rightly) displacing men, and IF they also tend to want to date men that make more money, that could be a problem...

... or at least there could be a lot more single people. Seems to be happening already and driven by other forces (social isolation).
Yes, I’m sure a narcissistic egomaniac would never condone or encourage such behaviour, and there’s no bootlicker out there who’d do it for brownie points. Completely unheard of.
