Middle class is defined using a range of the Area Median Income (AMI). This measure accounts for the income based in a specific locale to determine if you are middle class or not. For San Francisco, the upper limit for middle class is around $225-250k (2x AMI) per household.

A single person earning $300k is above middle class.

If we look solely at quality of life (which you don't even define), then the results are meaningless. Even if the things they have would have been considered middle class decades ago, they are not middle class now due to population increase and density increase in that area (you can't all have SFH in the finite space). Or possible if you mean the quality of has overall decreased, then those people still have more that the people who are currently middle class. I don't think quality of life has actually gone down, but I'd be interested in numbers either way.
As always it is the journey that matters (writing), not the outcome (the essay).

For example, students could record their writing of an essay with a keylogger or something.

Additionally - with the use of some advanced zero-knowledge algos or crypto timestamp provenance - it should be possible to prove that they have written the essay, without revealing their recording.
Was there nothing mentioned about noise under load or did I miss it? I bought an 8 core Miniforum AMD-based nuc to use as a home server and it's too noisy even under slight load.
What mental gymnastics! These are literally the same (well-founded) arguments of Moscow proponents. Observe:

Russia, in territory formerly ruined by the Kiev puppet regime, are

1) opposing Washington/NATO (remember Ukraine is a client state of Washington, another plutocracy, & Kiev survived protests from its people only due to American intervention),

2) keeping a lid on neo-Nazi/fascist resurgence, and

3) supporting the ethnic Russians who have lived in that area for centuries and have been seeking to maintain self-determination, despite having been overrun by multiple dictators.

It is absurd to pretend that Washington has any moral high ground over Russia.

The main difference between the two is that Ukraine is on Russia's doorstep. What business does Washington have arming the Kurds or Banderites, on the opposite side of the planet?
Right, so I guess your city does not have the zoning laws that I'm lamenting here? I even specifically wrote "I don't blame the US, I just hate zoning laws with a passion".
reading this I keep thinking the real questions are:

1. probably the notice sending and db deletion is two separate teams or responsibilities. Are they?

2. Did people know there was a bug in notice sending so some notices were not being sent, all notices not being sent? I ask this because generally in places I've worked where notice sending was an important part of things you knew if there was a bug and notices were not being sent. But maybe it wasn't that important for Heroku. Maybe it was not known that notices were not being sent for a while - or was it known immediately but things on other parts of business chugged along anyway.

3. If they knew notices were not being sent and they went ahead and deleted db anyway, seems messed up, but that would probably be ok with people if they had data retention for people who did not get notices sent.

4. The whole thing your stuff can be deleted at any time without telling you is basically probably true almost everywhere in that notice sending can have a bug and deletion of stuff is probably not adequately tied to notice sending so that if notice not sent automatic deletion is stopped. Which I'm thinking is probably everywhere - if you work somewhere with automatic deletion and a notice sending module - what happens? Is this scenario handled?

5. answer to this is probably not, but is there a legal issue if notices not sent and stuff deleted, issue might be if some notices were sent - if account A gets notice about deletion and is thus able to act on it and account B does not get notice and is thus not able to act on it there might be a ground for action. Probably not, but when something seems unfair there might be a law that can be stretched to fit it.
I think we agree, actually. In your case the state is imposing a negative externality (more cars). I am investigating moving to bloommerwede.nl/ and I will be FURIOUS if the Dutch government forces them to start letting cars through.

Just out of curiosity, may I ask roughly where you are?

I hope we can agree that the common enemy here is cars. The cities have spent most of a century fighting homes for, among other reasons, the belief that more homes means more cars (which isn't true if your city isn't horrible, but almost all American cities are car-choked hellscapes).

So far as I'm aware Builder's Remedy should not mean more roads being built. Hopefully, it eventually leads to car infrastructure like parking garages being removed in favour of housing.

You gotta be careful with just the no-calorie definition.

Technically, Bubbly / Flavored Sparking Water has no calories but can still break your fast because the flavoring can trigger your insulin response by fooling your body into thinking food is coming and you start to salivate and the stomach starts to rumble.

Throwaway account since I currently work at Hubspot. We all received an email at 1pm Irish time this morning announcing the layoffs. US employees were told via email 15 minutes later if they were getting fired or not. Ireland (and other countries I believe) have to go through a different process for legal reasons. We now have to spend the next 3 weeks waiting basically to find out if we have jobs or not.

We also had some of our free databases on our Team tier projects nuked, which Heroku said would instead be automatically upgraded to lowest paid tier. No warning emails either, to anyone on our team.

Wasmtime's `wasmtime-py` embedding in python has support for Wasm Components: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py#components (disclosure, I helped create it)

The remaining piece of the puzzle would be to create a wit-bindgen guest generator https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wit-bindgen#guests for this build of the python interpreter. You could then seamlessly call back and forth between the host and guest pythons, without even knowing that wasmtime is under the hood.

This is the slipperiest of slopes. Where do we draw the line then if we’re talking about personal decisions that make it more expensive to care for you in the future?

Should the government prevent people from being sexually promiscuous since contracting HIV would harm others by making it more expensive to care for you in the future?

Should they sterilize women after a certain age since the likelihood of pregnancy complications gets higher the older they get?

Maybe we should limit couples to having only one child. Safe child birth and pre- and post-natal care is very expensive.

Is just wearing a cloth mask enough? Maybe we should wear an N95 mask and full universal precautions PPE everywhere we go just to make sure we don’t harm others.
Even if you want to do 25gbit + you are still better off building a custom pc [1] than buying any dedicated routing hw. At least right now they are still very loud and cost way more. Plus as you said you can use it as a vm host for all kinds of stuff.

// artificially restricting them to an "already-super Blue city".

I think the idea is that people are choosing how to live. When I was younger, I chose to live in Manhattan because that made sense for work and dating. If Manhattan was rezoned to single-family homes, I'd be pissed.

Now I chose to live in an a medium density area (.15 acre lots, way less dense than the city, much more dense than the 2 acre lots in other towns) because of the lifestyle it affords. We know all our neighbors, the streets are quiet, etc. Everyone who lives here owns here. Everyone in this town chose this town for these attributes.

To stick in a high-rise here despite the desires of every resident would be the "artificial" thing. In the city, you can always build higher and nobody can really object to the extra density because that was always part of the equation.

I think Americans extol work for its own sake in a rather unhealthy way. I also think "hard work" is presented as a panacea for a host of problems, including poverty, despite the fact that many poor people break their backs toiling all their lives without meaningfully climbing the social ladder. "Just work hard" is actually profoundly unhelpful advice, without specific strategies and acknowledgements of all the systemic forces that give some people a leg up (and hold many others back).

Contrary to the rhetoric of the anti-work movement, I think work is bound up in self-expression, and to meaningfully contribute to the creation of something beneficial to others or to yourself is a deep human longing. I just think that we speak of work in a very crude and superficial way here in the US.
So you're in favor of companies breaking their terms and conditions at will? I think that would cause quite a lot more outrage and problems.

A lot of people don’t talk about it because the Indian elite are highly westernized. It’s hard to talk too much shit about the British when you’re also an Oxbridge graduate, have property in London, etc.

That being said, where would India be if the British Empire had never happened? Probably still doing subsistence agriculture. No slight to India, but industrial civilization is an aberrational step forward and there’s no reason to think it would arise at the same time in isolated cultures spontaneously.

The British themselves are the product of being colonized as much as the Indians. They were colonized by Rome, they were colonized by the Normans, etc. They assimilated and grew better from those influences.

Developers "love" building that stuff because... it's what zoning allows them to build.

You would need to actually look at a place with better zoning to see a functional example, like suburban metropolitan Japan or France or Spain, where neighborhoods are often made of tightly-clustered detached homes (e.g. the old-fashioned Victorian row home equivalent) mixed with corner store retail.
Yup, that caught me off guard, too. Perhaps a solution would be to have a gap where the old pizzas finish but no new ones are added, then change the prompt and start new pizzas when the screen is empty.

To be fair, Walter indeed becomes one of the worst human beings (if not the worst) on the show by the end of it, in terms of morality and just in general. But he is entertaining to watch, even though at times it is frustrating.

Same - if my code is complex enough to not be easily written in a few lines I'll drop a comment about what it is doing and maybe even why. It takes a minimal amount of effort while I'm coding and saves a lot of time when I (or someone completely unfamiliar with the code) have to revisit it months/years later.

My guiding principle is that I don't want someone to read my code years later, exclaim "Who the hell is this alyandon guy?!?!" and be motivated enough to create a time machine so they can go back in time and smash my keyboard to bits before I wrote said code.

That may be what your used house is worth in an appraisal but if you wanted to build it new, it would cost significantly more I imagine. It depends a lot on finishes and framing complexity of course (number of windows, roof, etc).

A lot of people I know in Colorado found this out when their homes burned down. They had the structure insured for like $500,000 and found out that rebuilding their home that was built 20 years ago would cost around $1,000,000.

A friend recently had a multi story addition put on his house, and of course additions always cost more because there's some amount of demolition and working on an existing site, so the new footings have to be underpinned, etc. It's also a large kitchen and the existing kitchen space had to be demo'd and rebuilt into a new, basic room. The upstairs connected to a hallways but there was some work. Anyways, the cost, all in was over $500k. Even if he didn't use Marvin windows, Wold appliances, nice cabinetry, etc it would have been like $400k. And yes you can go lower. But don't be fooled. A lot of the cheaper construction you see is not only made with awful materials and lazy/inexperienced tradesmen, but is also track housing or similar no modifications allowed type things.

I worked with some Rails folks a while back who were utterly convinced that comments were to be avoided because it meant your code was not clear.

I agree that comments explaining 'what' is happening are mostly useless. Write clearer code. But 'why' comments are good. Most things can be coded up different ways. Tell me why you chose this way. Tell me about constraints that might not be immediately obvious. Let me know if indeed, it could be cleaner, but you were in a hurry (this is a thing that happens in the real world), or if it's that way for a specific reason.

The OP listed some AM stations that were near the top of the rating in the Chicago market. I looked at the list and the top two AM stations were no surprise: WBBM and WGN.

It's not really a good idea to look at these two stations to get an idea of the health of the entire AM market. These two are giant class A clear channel stations that date back to the 1920s and the origination of AM radio licenses. Being in the center of the continent they can do omnidirectional broadcasting without "wasting" power like a station on the coast would. They're among the few that can still afford to be "local" station with very little syndicated content (and broadcast a lot of sports to vast swaths of the US and Canada that have no local professional sports team), and they'll probably be among the last of the AM stations to shut down.
