> Do you really think the landlord in a dwindling town is profitable? As the town dwindles costs rise, and at the same time what incentive is there for the renters to pay more? It is not like there is a lineup behind them champing at the bit to rent the place when they leave.

Yes, anywhere that renting continues to exist. If it wasn't profitable on average it would be sold asap. Again, there's always the chance you're buying from a chain of incompetent landlords who all can't do math and continually fail to turn a profit, i just don't seem that as the likely long term outcome. Let alone trying to rely on you making out better than your landlord.

On average a simple and easy rule of thumb is that your landlord is paying what you'd pay, plus profit. Economies of scale/politics (lower taxes/etc) are the only time i see where on average both parties can profit.

Oh and of course, as someone else pointed out, if you're in an amazingly rent controlled place for a variety of reasons you're probably making out like a bandit. My coworker's mother lived in a place in Seattle that, for some reason, was paying like $600/m (half my rent at the time!) in downtown Seattle. Comparable apartments were going for $1,800+ iirc. A bit of golden handcuffs, because she couldn't afford to move anywhere given how cheap the rent was, hah.
The trend is to just assume that using GC is off the table, without that being driven by any actual requirements or measurements.
> Ultimate Security in the form of preventing extremely sophisticated physical access/evil maid attacks[0] benefits people even if they don't think they need this security.

This is a strange red herring. Attacks of this form are protected from by the OS, not the App Store. You can't do attacks like this by sideloading apps onto your own phone in developer mode because iOS itself protects against this - and we're discussing specifically allowing users to choose what App Store they use, not relaxing any of the security restrictions of the OS. Someone familiar with the basics of OS design would be aware of this distinction.
I agree with much of your sentiment about genZ disillusionment, but it also goes hand in hand with a lot of self sabotaging traits such as Rage, pessimism, and trained helplessness.

I am concerned that some negative cultural feedback loops have been engaged.

Not saying this as a way to blame, they are after all, a product of their cultural environment, but not all stories have happy endings, ours included.

To be honest, it reminds me a lot of personal depression, where the natural response for most people exacerbates the problem. Once the feedback loops kick in, is very difficult to halt the progression
PhD students really don't get paid much. Tuition is waived if you're a TA, and you get a small stipend + good benefits. If you're an RA, you bring money into the university (through being the engine that pulls in grant money and having your tuition paid).

Most students I know were TA for one or two semesters and RA for the remainder of their 6 years. As far as I can tell, they are all a financial gain, not drain, for the university. That will likely depend on the department though.

I don't know about Masters students.

Interesting. I wonder, though, how many of those demands were hard requirements and how many were setting up to move towards what they ultimately want. Apple is a long-term investment type company. Keep in mind —- all contracts are re-negotiable.
"Otherwise" was the operative word in my (slightly sarcastic) example. :)

Avoiding all caps for emphasis means you sometimes have to change "Faa" back to "FAA" after submitting a story about the Federal Aviation Administration. And avoiding grammatically-incorrect or all-lowercase headlines means you sometimes have to change "Strcmp()" back to "strcmp()".

Those are not industry languages and Java was known to borrow only well developed and widely adopted features. For example it took like 20 years to add lambdas which were in lisp 60 years ago. Checked exceptions are a sore exception to this rule.
The Odd Lots podcast is great for this. They cover a number of different finance/economics related topics, but they've done some great deep dives into supply chain stuff - they've had the head of Flexport, the guy who runs the Port of LA, a long-haul trucker and a whole host of other folks. Just scroll through their list of old episodes until you see supply-chain related ones.

Hypercard on the Archive (2017)
What I've been taught is, the part of the sentence after the "but" is the part that's being emphasized.

Imagine if you had written:

> I've seen shade-tree mechanics show a complete disregard for the environment, but I'm not in favor of this kind of law.

It seems like you think that's the same sentence as before but to me, and I suspect other readers, they say different things.
Yes, but it's sort of like saying nobody should use libcurl because you can already write a browser plugin in chrome. An opinionated extendable ecosystem isn't the same as a library even if they can do similar things.

"Gas is traded internationally and north americans are generally not insulated from global prices. The reserves being in north america has almost zero bearing on this."

The difference when you have your own supply is that the price becomes a policy choice. The government can easily decide to prioritize the domestic market and limit exports.

An interest only loan doesn't suddenly mean there's no repayments. The hint is in the name, you still have to repeat the interest on the loan. Payment terms may vary but if you think that banks across the US are sitting on interest only, asset backed mortgages for the ultra wealthy's most expensive purchases, and taking no payment from them then I don't think we're going to be able to come to an agreement on this topic.
A friend had a UC professor ask if she'd be interested in a remote postdoc because it would have been impossible for them to hire someone in California given the postdoc pay rates.

I don't know if that's an unheard of arrangement or not, but it sounded totally weird to me.

> It's terribly non-obvious how to deal with correctly.

Like the post says: read the whole thing into memory and do a reverse search for the last ')', i.e. strrchr

Once you are aware of the problem, it's obvious how to solve it, but I do agree that the hidden danger here is not immediately obvious at first.
It’s not just the language, it’s schema evolution, data distribution, and exposed APIs.

I don’t want to give other teams direct access to a DB and have them Not only take a dependency on the schema, but have the ability to run arbitrary queries that may exhaust resources in ways that impact normal operations. If I expose an API, I control the access patterns and can evolve the schema separately to suit the workload.

If other teams need a replica to perform their arbitrary queries, I’d much rather have them using a richer data model that they can normalize into whatever form suits their needs than have to conflate that into a source of truth data store.

If you have a single business unit and can get away with commingling concerns within a small team, great, throw it all in a single DB. If it makes sense to split, however, do it quick and early to avoid a decoupling hell that is more expensive then having split in the first place.
I spend a lot of time with k9s, a TUI, and if there's a browser based or native GUI version, I don't care.

Terminals provide a uniform experience everywhere, more or less, and they compose better than browser apps. I can run tmux in asciinema and from there I can ssh elsewhere and use k9s. fzf and my zsh history make it so that it requires a few keystrokes to do anything (contrast this with being at the mercy of several conflicting designer opinions). A bunch of browser tabs is a comparatively clunky experience.

If web or native GUI apps interoperate, it's because their authors had a conversation. Terminal apps interoperate by accident.

This follows the standard practice[1]: in titles, capitalize everything except articles, prepositions, particles, and conjunctions, as well as the first and the last word even if it’s one of those. Sometimes long prepositions etc. may also be capitalized. A linking “has” looks like one of those words that shouldn’t be capitalized, but it’s a verb so (as far as the rules go) it should.

(There also publications that capitalize everything indiscriminately, I think.)

You can do that, but if keep alive are not synchronized (I don't think there is a mechanism to do so), you will wake more often if you keep more connections open.

I think the OS could synchronize them if keep alive packets are sent at the TCP level, but that would be hard to do at a higher level.

Letting a single program handle persistent connections leaves a lot more potential for energy efficiency optimizations.
Yes, it matters a lot. A mild amount of low aliased crunch sounds very different from a mild amount of very aliased distortion, and people pay a bunch of money for software that sounds good.

Audiophiles also drop a lot of money on gear that intentionally distorts the signal. Aliasing is one reason why they buy tube amplifiers instead of tube modelers in their receivers, although I don't doubt the latter exists.
VR for communication may not be. VR for training will almost certainly be in use by millions of people on a daily basis in the very near future. Anything that requires operation of a machine or performance of a physical procedure and some level of risk/cost will probably involve VR.
SAML in my (anecdotal) experience seems to be worse, if it's supported at all.

That's just lazy. How that works is on any shell man page. If you fiddle with it a little bit you figure it out:

set -- "foo"
echo $#
set -- foo
echo $#
set -- "foo bar"
echo $#
set -- foo bar
echo $#

Of course, people just want their commands to run and not learn a whole new language. Then I come back to my initial point: the language itself is small and easy to remember once you internalize it, what makes it scary is the umbrella of different command line utilities that _seems_ to be a part of the language but it's not.
I looked up the backgrounds of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. And? A few were professors for a few years and maybe one made it a major job.

The former head of the SEC was also a partner at Goldman Sachs, where he co-chaired their Finance committee overseeing their internal controls, spent 4 years in an undersecretary position in the treasury department, joined the Senate staff and helped write Sarbanes-Oxley, is former chair of the US CTFC where he overhauled regulations for 6 years.

By my count, that's 12 years of high-level federal government experience, 18 years at Goldman Sachs, and maybe 6 years as a professor. And the professorship was after at least 24 years doing other things at a very high level

You seem to confuse cause and effect
I've written about how to ask for help: https://play.teod.eu/interaction-value-differential/

I'm going to assume you don't have people on your team / in your organization you can learn from.

In short, I'd:

1. Make something that reflects the things that I'm curious to learn

2. Then ask specific people for specific advice about the thing I've made.
> This focus on super-rich individuals is totally misguided. What's important is the economic system. Rich individuals are simply a nauseating side-effect of capitalism. Nobody really likes it, but there simply isn't anything better. The burden of proof is on the complainers.

Serious critics aren't suggesting we do away with capitalism, they're suggesting that it has negative externalities that can be corrected by better taxation. The focus on billionaires is exactly right, because as the model in the article shows, taxation can suppress the extreme inequality that results.
As an EE who uses Teensies occasionally in embedded and industrial contexts, I'm always surprised by the expectation of "the audio guys" regarding hardware/software solutions.

For most users of these chips, "making the X hardware yourself" is the expected outcome, the fact that there's a convenient compute module that has USB power, the processor, a debug interface, a USB connector, and an open-source toolchain to quickly reach the "blink LED" stage is just a small leg up on the normal way of doing things.

I think it's so cool that there's a whole culture of people building little mixers, synths, and guitar pedals and so on in their garage. That's kind of tangential to the high school kids learning to code on Arduinos. And that's kind of tangential to those of us using these development boards professionally, either for prototyping or for low-volume custom stuff.

Side note: You might be interested in the TMDX5535EZDSP DSP eval board (still active, now over 10 years old, but it was a great platform for me to learn the fundamentals of DSP) or the newer TMDSOSKL137 eval board (more appropriate for building a giant mixer), they integrate a lot more audio processing power and have FFT accelerators/SOC audio interfaces that are better than even the Teensy 4.0/4.1.
There's an interesting idea you can look for which has the deeply unfortunate name of System 1 and System 2 thinking. I hate it when people use bare numbers to name things like that, I can never remember which is which. Considering it's just "fast" and "slow" thinking we could have used those terms instead. But the idea is you have fast heuristic thinking, and slow rational analysis. Fast heuristic thinking probably generally assumes that a "because" statement is sensible. The slow thinking can penetrate that, perhaps even easily. But one generally misunderstood thing about slow thinking is that it is legitimately expensive. Even geniuses do not have the cognitive firepower to run through their entire lives subjecting everything to the full power of slow thinking, to say nothing of normal people.

You can try to train your fast system to see a "because" and flag it and/or discard it entirely, though. You do enough of this and you start looking "cynical", but in the hostile epistemological environment we live in now, if you're not "cynical" you're being taken advantage of. Even as a cynic I advise against it as a philosophical position; there are good things in the world, there are reasons for hope and charity and love. Cynicism can be a corrosive philosophical position. But it's simply a necessary intellectual posture nowadays.
is there something fundamental from us making a new frontend to something like postgres? I think all the solutions that compile to SQL kinda work but it would be nice to have a new native interface that sucks less.
I'd be curious if the hospitality industry has the margins to pay them more or if this is just greed. If they don't have the margins and $20k-$30k is all that position can make them this is just a job being handed over to machines.

As the article pointed out, people are getting more educated and they're able to sniff out opportunity elsewhere. Jobs like housecleaning don't have a trajectory and possibly can't (though I'm open for refute).
Thank you! All the anti-union comments here kind of baffle me given that grad students meaningfully contribute to the academic mission. If anything, the economics of tutoring as a side gig in grad school led me to realize how much I was getting ripped off as a TA. There is much better fat to trim in the UC system than grad student stipends.

> An open source solution pre-built from professionals like Ory Kratos or Keycloak saves you a lot of time and pain.

Keycloak in itself is a pain to manage as well. Without Terraform, you're lost... and integrating stuff with Keycloak is a pain as well. I've tried and failed to integrate a self-hosted GitLab instance, for example - their docs [1] don't specify anything how the Keycloak config is supposed to look like, the next best Google hit doesn't either [2], and somewhen in the last two years the third Google hit [3] got outdated - the Keycloak OIDC configuration UI got completely reorganized and renamed. Other stuff like Atlassian is a pain to integrate with Keycloak OIDC as well.

So, if anyone could point me to a working configuration for modern Keycloak and GitLab, I'd be really thankful. And if doc writers could specify a working Terraform, Ansible or whatever code that specifies the Keycloak configuration the application understands, I'd be even more thankful. OIDC is a horrible mess, I get it, but if your users can't get it to work because you specify nowhere what exact flavor and quirks of OIDC your application need, it reflects badly not just on Keycloak but on your application as well.

I have taken prescription pills that have so much dark blue coloring in the coating, it motivated me to call the pharmacy and ask for a different generic brand where the pills are white.

I get that drug manufacturers are trying to distinguish different meds, but putting this much coloring in pill coatings seems like a really bad idea. If long-term use of the medicine doesn't cause problems because of side effects, the deep color in the pill coating might!

Replying to lapcat’s comment (which wasn’t possible), I suspect the schools would just look to adjuncts or senior u-grad students to be the necessary ta’s. It’s not like a 1st or 2nd year PhD student is particularly good or interested in ta’ing - they might be taking courses and are certainly fulfilling program entry requirements. Any research out of these people is gravy.

Interesting concept. Paying students to attend. I survived on this support in ancient times as somebody has to handle all those pre med/vet/dental students. But it was lean and I still can’t enjoy Mac and cheese. It certainly wasn’t a job or career.

Edit: reply again to deeper in the thread: we used the early students for things like 1-2 year lab as they were way better at lab than the students. Nobody handled a recitation unless they were 3rd year or more, had neutral+ evaluations and their boss lacked RA funding. Those with funded profs didn’t waste time ta’ing as they did work and wrote paper drafts. Those with new or unfunded profs did the ta gig and they also did full time work and writing drafts. 10+ extra hours a week ta.

I would think that in order to not have an obvious negative impact on battery life, it would be necessary for the OS to coalesce app notification service keepalives, performing them in scheduled batches instead of the moment an app requests one. That should be roughly equal to the current situation with APNS/GCN, where the OS can schedule network maintenance during periods where the device and antenna(s) are likely to be awake already.
