But of course, rather than make people study up, let's just dumb shit down
Move to Sydney for a while and you’ll quickly see that SF is simply ‘tolerable’ due to availability of specific types of jobs
of all the brands, apple cult brand is the strongest, it's hard to argue when it's already spelled out word per word in their leak internal memos that their intention to stop tracking was because they wanted a cut of FB's ad revenue.

Their execution under the guise of caring for user privacy is a master class though, it's impeccably done, there should be a case study done about this.
> I did notice that they've gotten better and better at automatically assigning ride photos to your account and things of that nature over the last 5 years. I assume it is a shift to the phone tracking because the magic bands definitely didn't have the best resolution for that kind of thing.

Yep, if you use the app on your phone they use BT for that now, and MB as a backup. [0]

> I feel like magic bands will be around in some form for quite a while still.

Oh absolutely, they just came out with "MagicBand+" which has RGB LEDs on it, Haptic feedback (iirc?) and BT for in-park experiences such as a statue talking to you. [1]

> Any guy who bathes, doesn't say mean things, tries to make himself more attractive, doesn't consider a woman unattractive because she isn't an 8+, and learns to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex will find someone sooner or later.

And if he doesn't, clearly it must be because he isn't trying hard enough amirite?

There are plenty of guys out there who listen to what they're being told (which is hard, because there's a lot of contradictions), try as hard as they can, and yet can't find anyone.
Study suggests surprising reason killer whales go through menopause (2018)
Depends on the variety. Most of the US ones don’t even need the wasps but the Calimyrna does.
I think that's an interesting case, but any program where the random numbers have security implications should already be using crypto/rand, and not math/rand anyway.
Obviously the market doesn't agree with me, but I actually think SF is under rated. I think the truth is SF is undesirable for maybe these reasons:

* Many people were previously forced to live there for jobs

* SF doesn't do as much pushing of the homeless out of the dense parts of town as other big cities (which to be clear I think is probably morally the right choice)

* Government is bloated and trying to do too much

* A motivated political narrative trying to tear the city down

On the other hand I think SF has a lot going for it:

* It's one of the prettiest cities in the country

* It's maybe the most walkable city on the west coast

* The rents are now down compared to some other major walkable cities in the US

* Some of the highest density of parks around, it's usually not far to some pretty nature

* The weather is decent most of the time

* Not as impacted by climate change as many other costal cities
Mind you the people who live in SF are also not commuting into downtown. That contributes to it feeling dead during the pandemic.

But that doesn’t mean the city died. People are still here, you just see them less. Especially if like me you’re one of those folks continuing to work from home and seeing the same few people all the time.

I mean if I judged from my personal experience I’d say there’s 500 people in the city. I even see all the same homeless folk on my runs and can tell who hangs around which block or street corner.
The downside is you are still chained to your desk / Slack whether you are actually getting any work done. Sounds like OP doesn't have to pretend to be working.
Not that you're bad ... you just love Jira tickets and spreadsheets and don't want to be accountable to anything that could come back and bight you.
It seems to me that research scientist is a post-postdoc in industry, so all these textboxes for cover letter (or "introduce yourself") are the way for a researcher to say "Here's how my extremely specific research area actually applies to your business objectives"
Today I found out: [..]Scientists have discovered that beluga whales and narwhals go through the menopause -- taking the total number of species known to experience this to five. Aside from humans, the species now known to experience menopause are all toothed whales -- belugas, narwhals, killer whales and short-finned pilot whales.[..]

And female chimpanzees don’t.

Weirdness.

When I was young my grandma told me an interesting rule of thumb from her childhood in the old country:

If there are no bugs in the grain after it has been stored for a while, don't eat it.

The rationale was that if bugs didn't want to eat it (they didn't have tightly sealed packaging at that time), it was probably chemically contaminated.

Yeah, I've been here 20 years, and I see a lot of people getting the vapors over The Shocking and Precipitous Decline of Our Once-Great City, but I'm not seeing it. As you say, it's fine.

To me the chatter seems like another round of the far-right panic over "San Francisco values", which has been recurring since the 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_values
If people aren't commuting anymore but working remotely instead, that's a pretty bad sign for the city of SF itself.
Anything beyond HTML and CSS is a mistake.
There's some hiring freezes but that doesn't mean they're not hiring. Cutting down job posts by 95% is still usually more than 0. Many openings are roles with a bus count of 1, so they're technically "hiring" but they're not actively searching.
They showed approximately the same number of users an increased number of ads, and those ads were worth approximately the same amount less.

Tells me they are locked in a spiral of an increasingly awful user experience.

You'll note that revenue from advertising fell 1%

I was curious about system power (not just TDP), so I hooked up a kill-a-watt, at idle, ubuntu 22.04, normal stuff running (like sshd) and so far it's taken 7 hours to accumulate 0.01 kwh, sadly not very accurate yet, so I'll leave it go till at least 0.02 kwh, looks like an average idle around 1 watt.

I've been pondering some easy benchmarks from the command line, so far I've come up with:

1) openssl speed -bytes 16384 sha256 sha512 aes-256-cbc rsa2048

2) 7z b # benchmark mode for 7zip

3) wget https://github.com/jtsiomb/c-ray/releases/download/v2.0/c-ra... tar xvf c-ray-2.0.tar.gz; cd c-ray-2.0; make; time ./c-ray-fast ./sphfract.scn -s 3840x2160 -r 4 -o output.pnm -p

4) any similar ideas that are easy, reports a useful number (or a few) in 5 minutes or less?

I'll run similar later on the rk3588, once I get a better idea of the idle watts.
After 20 years of Python being my main language, I switched to Lua last year, and it felt great.

I just felt Python's feature set was becoming too boated, and reading other people's code was becoming too much of a cognitive drain, because others don't tend to subset the language in the same way that I would subset it to keep complexity to a minimum.

Also, the larger feature set of Python means that code written in Python doesn't move between environments as easily. With Lua, I can rely on hobbyist implementations running on top of Java (KeraLua/Luna), .NET (NeoLua), JavaScript (fengari), or native (the original PUC-Lua), where the latter in turn has bindings to other languages (like Python). With Python there has been the same amount of appetite to do these things (Jython, IronPython, various JS-based pythons like Transcrypt, etc.) but they just never achieve actual compatibility with CPython for practical intents and purposes.

So, I have a touchy stomach as most Americans, but I am also a pacific islander and have gutted fish many times while in Palau. I once dated someone who found eating shrimp with a head difficult as it "had eyes looking back at me." It definitely is good we have an FDA (and the equivalent in many countries) that keep food clean, but people need to remember and realize the food they eat was alive, interacted with other living things, and like figs, even grew because of them.

I'm not sure if there is a remedy (or really, if it's such a bad reaction many including myself have that it requires any remedy), I guess it's just good to be aware.
I traveled about a mile down Mission street today for the first time since 2010. It's deteriorated a lot.

Maybe long COVID? Temporary(?) reduction in cognitive abilities, 1-2 years of subpar work, "we don't need you anymore", and when it rains, it pours?
Plenty of jobs (especially in government/defense) require full citizenship and security clearance.

> Oh, are you going to cite Australia? They collected a laughably small amount of guns from the population during their gun ban.

Gun ban?

In Australia?

That's news to me and I've lived here since 1960 and currently live next door to my father who's been here since 1935.

I'm guessing you're referring to the time when Australian Gun Laws were made uniform across the entire country .. and Queensland and Tasmania were pulled into line with other states.

Now, as before, 12 year olds can join gun clubs in Australia, and they can buy their own guns when they reach maturity - the onerous requirements to own a gun here are not dissimilar to those required for a drivers licence or to handle poisionous or explosive materials.

Regulation works, you see from the number of mass shootings in Australia since we introduced uniform regulation, in twenty+ years we've had fewer than you can count on one hand .. somewhat less than the 50+ the USofA has had in January 2023.

I agree that making guns harder to acquire doesn't stop crime - that's a foolish notion.
But it absolutely reduces gun crime by a significant degree.

For your entertainment, here's my actual real life neighbour in the West Australian wheatbelt doing his annual 5,000 yard shooting exercise.

It's worth a look for the flight path drone footage.

so apparently they only care about your privacy if you are a citizen of the EU?

And that just brings up the question again: why show the popup to non-EU viewers if the only option is to accept the cookies. It isn't even effective as a form of protest because those viewers have even less influence over EU regulations than EU citizens.
Not for certain government contractor roles. They can be required by the government to only employ citizens. Some roles can even preclude naturalized citizens if it’s extraordinarily sensitive due to their inexorable ties to a foreign government and people.

Married with Children was huge here in France but Seinfeld never made it to the mainstream as it was aired on subscription TV
Warren Buffett does deals with a handshake and one-page contracts on multi-billion dollar companies. Because he makes everything simple to close a deal.

Normally, companies spend a year to close. They quibble over tiny little things of no consequence - like a variance of .7% from one month's revenue in last March's revenue to April's revenue. Weeks of accountant's time, sales managers' time, all the owner's time.

I've screwed up deals because of lengthy contracts for small fry shit. That nobody in their right mind would accept.

I understand contracts more than most. I don't buy and sell nuclear power plants with that level of detail. My businesses are small - standard boilerplate, I know what all the clauses mean. It's not that difficult to understand basic business legal documents. Could one word or comma make a difference if I do it? Sure. As attorneys are always glad to point out. But that might be the case in 1 out of 100,000 contracts. I don't want to get a car like the President of the United States limo that costs $15 million - or whatever the fuck it costs - to keep him safe. I'm ok with a used 3 year old Toyota Camry that costs me $15,000. But am I as safe as the $15 Presidential limo? Do I give a fuck if I'm not as safe? That's a rhetorical question.

Besides being adopted by the marketing for the show, "show about nothing" was never really accurate. It was lifted from when George pitched the show-in-a-show (season 4's running plot).

Especially in the earlier seasons, what Seinfeld is about should be apparent: There's a little standup skit performed by Jerry Seinfeld, with the usual ridiculous circumstances you'd hear in a standup skit. The episode that follows shows exactly how Jerry "came up with" the idea for the standup the episode opened with.

Instead of "about nothing," Seinfeld was really about answering the question people often ask: "How did you come up with that?"

Of course, as the show developed and real-life inspirations started to be exhausted, the show adopted more and more outlandish sitcom ideas that weren't rooted in the real-life experiences of the writers. The standup openings were abandoned as well.

Been living in Sydney for a year, and everyone who spends time here thinks "wow the food is just as good, prices are kind of cheaper, and the city is much cleaner"
