The CFPB is so good. It's one of a small number of federal agencies that actually has teeth. I went 30 rounds with PNC after they devoured what was left of Simple before someone suggested filing a CFPB complaint. Basically, I received some mail for the account despite being assured it was closed before the Simple closure.

I asked for a letter stating in no uncertain terms that the account was closed and that I wouldn't be liable for anything if they screwed up. They bombarded me with emails and calls for a week trying to avoid working through the CFPB before finally answering the complaint with what I asked for. I was adamant that it happen with the CFPB so their statement would be on file. Now the PDF is there if the bank gives me any trouble.

People report similar success filing FCC complaints to get action from phone companies and ISPs that otherwise ignore them.

Ah, that makes sense

Yeah, I was afraid to exit the car. Just a weird experience seeing others feeding the bears or having a race right next to them.
I think you meant this as a rhetorical question, but I'll go ahead and answer it anyway.

The practical answer is you do become homeless, but not out in the open -- you'll set up a tent somewhere somewhat hidden (maybe in the middle of a park, for example), and hope nobody notices it. Every so often your camp will get discovered and cleared out, which will be inconvenient.

It certainly seems pretty mean-spirited to harrass the homeless in this way, but it does have the benefit of (mostly) preserving the beauty and safety of public space.
Is Lisbon moderate? I've spent a little time spread all around the year in Cascais and while the absolute temperatures aren't often extreme, the humidity for five months of the year is off the scale. In a traditional house in winter, you fight a battle against mold. I know people who've lost entire wardrobes to it. They tried heating the following year but found most of the heat goes straight through the solid walls. HVAC was the only meaningful option open to them but again, with such breezy construction, it barely touches the sides in winter.

A modern, "fully-sealed" design sidesteps all of this. Insulated walls and a little solar —both bizarrely absent in most buildings, even new builds— would go a long way. I'm not saying that there's no an opportunity to overspec these things, but the status quo, the spec 90% of buildings are being made to, is barely any better than the buildings going up 30 years ago.

But to answer your lead, yes. Materials' fabrication costs should be factored into their 10y efficiency.
It's because of the libraries. They get compiled once.

How does this service prevent the actual (free) URL of the content from being visible / shared after a user pays? It seems like this would be difficult for some of the use cases presented (YouTube, Wordpress, etc) without managing the backend.

Basically the question is, does choking off China's access to top tier chips set them back permanently, or does it benefit them in the long run since they will have to figure out how to develop quality chips domestically.

> It is humane for everyone if the mentally ill are forced to get treatment or confined if they refuse it.

Definitely not, unless they're actively harming you because self-defense is always justified. Short of that it's none of your business.
Implicit in the question is that we even understand what the right treatment should be. Once upon a time, doctors would have enthusiastically recommended lobotomies. Would we have nodded along?

I think the ethical conundrum lessens if there actually is a clear, proven, effective treatment. We often make decisions on behalf of people who aren’t able to make the right choice for themselves, and I don’t think a pathological commitment to individual liberty should constrain us in cases where there is the possibility of dramatically improving someone’s wellbeing.
I think a big Orion drive powered spaceship flight profile would be widely noticeable. Like, nature rarely produces hundreds of sequential nuclear detonations in deep space in quick succession, possibly perfectly matching high energy transfer orbits.

Cisco, EMC, Sun... were all huge (and formerly profitable) companies making actual products and got absolutely hammered when dot com busted. Personally I was very lucky--got a job with a small firm whose CEO I knew well and was (at the time) still doing OK though it went through a fairly long rough patch.

But no small number of people, including many who had worked at large firms, basically left tech.
I would say that’s a fairly trivial example. How about renaming a method? Or, moving a class to a different file?
Ah yes, another attempt to pretend that the single Supreme Court justice nominated by the former (D) president was blocked for anything other than partisan political reasons and that Trump didn't add the most number of SC justices since Reagan, all of whom were put forward by the totally-not-partisan Federalist Society and one of whom actually cried about how much he loves beer while testifying during a job interview, which is definitely normal and the type of behavior we expect from a judge in the highest court.

Totally not court packing. Just business as usual.
I work in the industry, so I've watched Spotify's editorial playlists go from great to terrible, with increasing amounts of payola, nepotism, and corporate influence, leading to a slow homogenization of music culture.

Six or seven years ago there was genuine independent acts breaking through Spotify. Today, the ones who get played on the so-called recommendation algorithm are seriously propped up by a small team of relatively private, inaccessible curators of the major editorial playlists who only answer to established music industry professionals with their corporate agendas. Spotify's recommendations are not the fair system that you think it is, and is worse than radio tastemakers of the past as they have no skin in the game thanks to their anonymity.
I doubt many people really want to use them, any more than they really want to use any other megabank. A lot of people just use the bank that's closest to their house/work, thinking (and often not wrong from a retail point of view) that banks are fungible.

As a former "customer", in many cases, like ours, it's because they use their capital/position to buy loans from other businesses, and there's nothing the borrower can do about it.

I think what's really important about your comment is that there might not be an answer to some problems. This is something that most people struggle with – and certainly publications (even the respectable Economist) love these sorts of conundrums because they pluck at the tragedy-strings of most humans.

Sometimes there simply is no solution to a problem, a very hard concept to grapple with as participants in a community, society, or civilization.
Tens of millions of people fly into JFK a year; millions leave the airport by cab (thanks to miserable public transport options near the airport).

There's a lot of money floating around there!

Especially if the interface was designed for high performance (unlike most UX today).

One of my favorite was when I spent years starting to learn photojournalism on the side: the mechanics of using a camera is only a small part of it (it's mostly about understanding and conveying a story), but even at my student/amateur level, the muscle memory with pro DSLR and lenses was crazy-effective.

I even got a shot that happened only in an instant, unexpected, perceived in my peripheral vision, and the right camera body (I had 2 hanging from shoulders) was suddenly in my hands, viewfinder to my eye, aimed, zoomed in with my 70-200 focal length ring, focused (I might've even used the wheel to select which AF focus point, before half-pressing the shutter button), and snapped-- without consciously intending to do any of those things, so it all seemed to be instantaneous, and I got the shot of something as it was falling.

Had I only had a touchscreen phone/camera or a bottom-end DSLR (on which some brands intentionally cripple the UI, to avoid cannibalizing pro gear sales), I would've looked very dumb as I didn't get the shot.

The reason was partly a blind desire for "safety" despite wolf attacks being exceedingly rare (2 fatal wolf attacks in the past century in north america). But mostly it was due to commercial interests. It was to prop up an already unsustainable model of agricultural/textile production

Wolves bring us biodiversity, keep diseases down, and even help rivers flow (by keeping graminivore populations down). We have way more to gain from them than to lose

I feel like the anti-wolf side is much more akin to "anti-vax" than the pro-wolf side is. Either way its probably a bad comparison
I have read a lot of classic books and several of them are quite dull. I have no idea why you would read both Wuthering Heights and The Count of Monte Cristo just because they are "classic".

For people that really want to read through some these books, I actually recommend the abridged versions first. It is a lot easier to read the details of the full novel if you have read the abridged versions, and know that you enjoy the story.

Another suggestion if you just want to get used to reading long books is to start with something more modern like the Game of Thrones books, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter.

Yes it's using XML for all the wrong reasons - as a config and even scripting format (hello ant plugin) when XML is for markup/text. Fscking Maven doesn't even allow basic XML/SGML features such as entities/text macros. And yes Maven's pom.xml is used for package metadata on maven-central and elsewhere even if you don't use Maven directly.

BUT I have to say, every project using gradle as alternative so far has receded into bizarre ad-hoc deployment scripting. Maybe that's just because gradle can do stuff that was hidden away in jenkins build files, but still ...
> If it is an investment that grows in value faster than inflation why would we treat it any differently?

I don't think it has to be. Housing and land aren't the same thing. Land can increase in value while the cost to live on it doesn't if we densify in the face of increased demand. Unfortunately local legislature are captured by homeowners who believe their house is an investment so laws that would fix the "housing as an investment" issue are impossible to implement.
I read this and I start to think about how our identities may just be stories to which we've attached, often shortcuts to summarize characteristics of behaviors. I'm thinking of it more in the romantic "friend" vs "lover" buckets, but I think it plays out a lot in the health space as well.

This is an imminent question in Portland, Oregon: the mayor wants to relax the requirements to civilly commit a person against their will despite a lack of hospitals that can receive or treat them,[1][2] another of his suite of tactics to address homelessness that's included perpetual weekly sweeps of dozens of homeless encampments,[3] asking for $27 million to build city-run open-air camps,[4][5] and trying but failing through those policies to secure additional state funding for city-run shelters.[6]

None of these tactics have been strategic - housed and homeless people alike in Portland who want mental health resources can't access the limited inventory of them, so expanding involuntary commitment without funded services will only add to that resource stress. Sweeps without a variety of funded shelter options just move the problem of camps from one part of the city to another while destroying what little the campers own, at a contractor cost of $4.5 million per year. The city-run camp proposal has been derided as "concentration camps", and the $27 million price tag would pay for a year of stable housing for nearly 2,500. State legislators cited the sweeps and camp proposal as reasons why they were giving $25 million in funding to the separate county leadership instead of the city, and put conditions on the funding that explicitly prevented its use for sweeps or involuntary camps.

All of this happened _before_ the proposal to expand involuntary commitment criteria, which would at worst facilitate abuse or harassment of people with mental illnesses - housed or not - and at best fail to solve the underlying lack of treatment resources available to anyone, much less the involuntarily committed.[7]

Absolutely not. The only possible justification for any of these authoritarian interventions is self-defense. Anything short of that is infringing on their autonomy over their body and not something you should be advocating for especially considering you could be in that exact situation. In addition, suicide is not necessarily irrational, so definitely not.
10k is fairly normal for professional workstations when you factor in high memory Quadros and xeons.

The government says 90% of the population has received a single dose of Sinopharm. It probably doesn't matter if that figure is trustworthy, since the vaccine isn't terribly effective, anyway. The Chinese are finally on the brink of rolling out their own mRNA vaccine [1], which should be much better, but it's late in the game (two years since we started mass vaccinations in the U.S.). Of course, they had the opportunity to buy vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna early on, but they chose not to. I think it's fair to speculate that Xi was more comfortable with the zero-covid approach, with the possibility of a total collapse of the Chinese health care system and the mass deaths that would follow, than how the optics of purchasing Western vaccines would affect him politically.

> Notice that prop 15 lost by 4%

And it targeted only commercial and industrial properties, with proceeds going to education and local govt funding. That is, as sympathetic setup as it could be. It didn't touch any residential homes, neither primary nor secondary nor rentals. And it still lost.

It seems you didn't read what prop 15 was about. If it included homes, the vote against it would have been much higher than 52%.
I decided to leave my job of 8 years in July of 2001 (the layoffs in tech had started by then, but really built up momentum a bit after that). At the time I was doing software development for a semiconductor company and it just seemed like after 8 years there I wasn't going anywhere and we'd recently paid off our house so I figured, what the heck, I can find another gig in 6 months, I'll take some time off. When I started looking around in Jan '02 it took several months to find a 3 month contracting gig. After that was over I decided to go back to school and get a masters degree which I did. Had a few conctracting gigs after that but steady work didn't return until '05. So yeah, my timing wasn't great, but I did get my masters degree.
> Jan 1, 2023 will also be a fine day for film in the public domain, with Metropolis, The Jazz Singer, and Laurel and Hardy's Battle of the Century entering the commons. Also notable: Wings, winner of the first-ever best picture Academy Award; The Lodger, Hitchcock's first thriller; and FW "Nosferatu" Mirnau's Sunrise.

Metropolis is so influential that I'd call it a must-watch for... well, basically any fan of popular media of any kind. Film, literature, graphic arts, video games, music(!). Its influence is everywhere.

Sunrise is one hell of a roller-coaster of a movie. As with anything in the silent era (especially the non-comedy films) it's a bit of an acquired taste but it's among the earliest films that I didn't just find interesting or funny, but that really got me on the edge of my seat, several times. It's got some real "yell at the screen" moments :-) I enjoyed it way more than the director's more-iconic Nosferatu. Though, for my money, it's no M or The Passion of Joan of Arc, as silent film dramas go. Still, really good, and I think a lot of critics hold it in far higher regard than I do.

Haven't seen the rest.
