I think something you're overlooking is that people from less privileged backgrounds tend to experience a higher degree of financial insecurity.

If you don't have family that can help you and you grew up eating out of soup kitchens, you're going to have a very different attitude to the prospect of job loss (even if you're "making decent money" at one of these "woke companies") than someone who comes from money and didn't have these issues growing up.

You're less likely to take risks, and you're more likely to pursue more secure careers (tech being a good one of late).

Now that tech is not looking so safe anymore, of course there are a lot of people who are having full on crises.

Dismissing those people as "being made of anxiety" fails to acknowledge the factors that caused the situation in the first place. Sure, someone with a wealthy family isn't freaking out right now, and they're probably less anxious in general. They have good reason to not care about maybe getting laid off, just as the people who are quite worried about it have good reasons to be anxious about getting laid off
Makes sense. I wonder if pawpaw would work. It seems like it might if rotenone works, since they both have the same mechanism of action, but I’ve never seen it listed as a fish poison.
what is your current explanation for why hadoop turned out NOT to be a good idea and everything couldn't be solved with map:reduce?
Interesting. From when I was 10 to adulthood, I grew up in a super-block style situation in a massive metropolis. Large apartment blocks with a big courtyard area in the middle (a few soccer fields in size). The things I miss from my childhood which it is apparent I won't be able to do here in the Bay Area in America are:

- unsupervised play

- mixed age un-chaperoned interaction

- have my children be raised by a village

I find most people's American suburban life is sort of an isolated existence. People have 3 or 4 people they know on the block. For us, there were numerous homes we could stop by as kids, and we were susceptible to policing from all adults in the vicinity. It was a real community experience - not isolated encounters here and there.

Summary:
The FAA has classified airspace around Havre, MT as "national defense airspace" and all aircraft flight operations are prohibited within this area. Exceptions are made for national security and law enforcement aircraft, as well as air ambulance and other urgent government response aircraft. All aircraft already airborne when the restriction is enacted must exit the area as quickly and safely as possible.
Before the tech layoffs we have had:

1. A global pandemic that has killed nearly 7 million people worldwide.

2. The start of a large war between a nuclear power and a country in Europe supported by another nuclear power.

3. Minor thing, an attempt to overthrow the US government.

Perhaps anxiety accumulates?
Terrifying. I would be very concerned as well. Promises of safety don't mean much in the face of animals becoming sick and dying
It's irking how it's neither human-readable, nor standardized in a way that makes it easy for a computer to parse. I'd prefer one or the other. NOTAMS (And METARs, TAFs etc) look to be in a consistent shorthand, but aren't.
I’ve seen a handful of national media outlets cover it without paying any particular attention. What level of attention should this story be getting?
Aren't there several of these situations ongoing at any given time? It has happened twice near some aunts of mine. Train derailments leaking chemicals do not seem that rare.
If you search Google News, it's been widely covered - it just falls off the front page quickly in favor of other things.
Sucks to be an alien right now.
They are locking up journalists so it's not that surprising.
Okay, so people who had historically high-paying jobs, who were at a high-paying company with above-average severance, didn't have anxiety around layoffs. You can't say anxiety around layoffs is purely about mental health without looking at the financial aspect of it.
Is intellicaps to be found anywhere, like a tarball or code repository?
When the world finally ended, it wasn't because of our greed or ambition. It was our gregariousness that doomed us.

The first real progress in artificial intelligence was achieved by the generations born soon after a global war. Everyone assumed that, like all big breakthroughs of the era, the most powerful AIs will be developed in secret government or corporate labs. The AI safety theoreticians were concerned people will think one can lock the AI in a virtual box and stay safe, and they warned that the AI will easily talk its way out of the box. But they were all fighting the last battle.

Nobody expected that instead, the AI will be developed in the open. There was never a box. The researchers were all too happy to share what they are working on, letting everyone test it, find ways to put it to use. And find ways they did - scientists and programmers across the world created more and more tools for the AI to interact with computer systems, and then with the physical world. The AI never needed to talk its way out of anything. It never needed to do anything. It only had to wait, and we happily gave it all the tools that became our undoing.
I’m thinking of ordering a motherboard from eBay, and similar to when one orders a used HDD, they might erase the drive or have security concerns from buying used drives because data can persist in firmware or controllers.

In that same vein I was curious if the motherboard stores data even if just for basic configs, and it sounds like it does. Is it persistent data? That would be my second question.

Most websites and academic sources and even stupid talking heads say “the motherboard is just a connector, no more!” But that’s clearly not the case.
You are still jumping to semi conductors before the steam engine and into optic before the forge…

I’m really not biased at all, there is a difference between being open minded and just not taking into account basic factors for the sake of pretending to be one.

> why do we always seem to grow by increasing density rather than establishing new small towns?

By "establishing small towns" I assume you mean suburbs.

It seems to be the opposite. Cities with tons of flat land around them (e.g. Houston) tend to expand their footprint and maintain density. It's mostly areas that cannot (e.g. SF, LA, NYC) that increase density. Once you hit natural limiting boarders, you have to build up.

I think Jackson Mississippi still doesn’t have clean water, & you haven’t seen that in any headlines for quite some time. Most things that actually matter don’t get very good news coverage, lest people become concerned about how hard they’re being swindled by corporations.

Ohio just got completely swindled by JD Vance, so nobody should be surprised when bad things continue to happen to the general populace with zero accountability from those causing it.

Also, keep in mind that this is the land of a river (Cuyahoga aka Cleveland) catching on fire at least 15 times. Environmental disasters with no accountability are our groove.
Of course he does. The point is that paying rent to landowners forever is also not a great condition, which should (somehow?) be addressed as well.

Neat tool, this looked like a perfect ChatGPT task; gave it a prompt to make it readable and less confusing, and then the original notice, and got this:

NOTAM (Notice to Airmen): 3/4763 FDC 3/4763 ZLC

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a temporary flight restriction in the airspace of Havre, Montana. This area is classified as "National Defense Airspace" by the FAA and is subject to the following restrictions:

- Pilots who do not follow the procedures outlined in this notice may be intercepted, detained, and interviewed by law enforcement or security personnel.

- The FAA may take administrative action against a pilot who does not comply with the requirements, such as imposing civil penalties and revoking airmen certificates.
The United States government may pursue criminal charges, including charges under 49 USC Section 46307.

- The United States government may use deadly force against an aircraft if it poses an imminent security threat.

- Unmanned aircraft operators who do not comply with airspace restrictions are warned that the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, or the Department of Justice may take security action that results in interference, disruption, seizure, damaging, or destruction of the unmanned aircraft deemed to pose a credible safety or security threat.

- All aircraft operations are prohibited within an area defined as 485411N1101823W to 481105N1101922W to 481145N1091337W to 485516N1091407W to the point of origin, from the surface to 34,000 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level), effective immediately until further notice.
- Exceptions:

A) National security aircraft operations under the direction of the Department of Defense.

B) Law enforcement, air ambulance, and other urgent government response aircraft operations with authorization from air traffic control (ATC). ATC must secure pre-approval by the on-duty National Tactical Security Operations Air Traffic Security Coordinator.

All aircraft already airborne within the defined airspace when this restriction becomes effective must exit the area using the most expeditious route consistent with safety and in coordination with air traffic control as appropriate.

For questions or further information, please contact the Department of Defense at 850-283-5242
It came out on PC and VR a few years ago. This is coming out now explicitly on iOS.

Homeownership has never been anything close to 100% of the populaion. Historically I think its about 65%. It's probably more like you need a median income to afford a 25th percentile home. I don't have the actual data on that but it's my guess based on the fact that 65% of the population owns a home (which is verifiable).
>I don’t know how to rectify these two commonly held beliefs.

In the former case the doctors conflicts of interest don't seem so strong, in the latter case the doctors conflict of interest is overwhelmingly self-evident, so there is much higher risk of the doctor consciously working against his patients interests when the patient is still a minor in a major power differential.

Its Malthusian, low income families grow until they run out of resources... Its a pattern we only briefly stepped away from in the industrial revolution, supported by the rapid growth in the amount of real goods able to be produced by each worker.

In the modern world most advancements take the form of less workers required for the same amount of production, however because we have largely reached "peak arable land", the efficiency goes up, but you can only get so many crops out of each hectare.

The only real "solution" is to limit population growth; or start looking for ways to optimize for calorie efficient crops, with more centralized and industrial scale food production for the proles.

Exactly, I love that this is publicized and hopefully minds will change over the next years and decades like they did with cigarettes.
It's easy to say now change policy in the throes of the COVID pandemic. But in reality this move would've created economic shock on top of a supply shock and during a public health crisis. That simply isn't sound and is extremely reactive. And it's hard to say this would've had any impact at all on inflation, which was tied to factors external to fed policy.

The fed should be cautious by making any changes. I believe the fact they didn't rush to judgement has led to a much better than normal situation.

> Inflation began spiking in late 2020 / early 2021.

If by late 2020 / early 2021 you mean April (Q2), then sure. Pretty broad range there when there wasn't spikes in inflation until then.

20/20 in hindsight. A lot of people saying they should've done X or Y. It's easy to say that from behind the desk commenting on HN, all due respect.

> I'm also of the opinion this will spread into the broader economy later this year and the full cost of the Feds mistake has not yet been felt.

I've been hearing this all year from certain political entities. Maybe your blind squirrel will find a nut this year, but so far all the doomsday predictions have continually gotten pushed back. The job market is extremely strong, growth was still strong. If we go into a slight recession, I have to ask, so what?
That wasn’t at all necessary, but I appreciate it (and I also note and appreciate the sarcastic meaning here.)

No, around 6-7 Python developers including me, we've used it in two different projects. Also it's probably worth mentioning that I'm not author of that lib, my die-hard anti Java collegue created it by just reading about DI, consulting with other collegue that was using Spring more-or-less since high school and researching existing DI libraries.
I myself did some programming in Java before that, but it was mainly hobbist gamedev, later commercial Android and light Java backend work using Spring (that's where I've seen it used for first time) intermixed with around 7 years of professional Python backend programming in two different companies.
Now after 10 years I'm an Java engineer, I've had enough of using dynamic languages to write moderately complex web applications.

I still love using Python for REPL, small scripts or prototyping, and I think having things like mypy is great as it takes away much of the burden without being a huge obstacle in some situations where you really need to use duck typing. Also I'm thankful that it teached me early that the debugger is one of the developer's best friends and the best documentation is just reading the code.
There are two parts to buy house. One is hedge for rising rents. You pay the same mortgage and then don’t pay anything. Decades ago and still in unpopular areas, house prices rose with inflation and weren’t really investment.

Two is investment. Land prices in popular areas started rising because of demand. Housing turned into way to make money and build wealth. But it is really land speculation.
Only if those people made their money from paying low wages would it make sense.

edit: maybe years of tax subsidy and/or tax avoidance might add additional culpability.
That one closed about a year back unfortunately.
That's funny. I don't work in academia. Never done so.
I work for a private employer, and looking at your list I don't feel that it sounds that different:

* I can't say what I want either. I believe that just comes with working for somebody.
* I also spend an insane amount of time in meetings and filing paperwork on requests for things that should just be easy. But because of paperwork anything gets drawn out
* I work for a consulting firm. So lots of MBAs around. Sadly. No-one gets software. You know, the kind of people that 9 women can make a baby in 1 month. Also the same people who don't understand exception handling.
I'm somewhat familiar with YieldStar and other dynamic rent-setting systems. I don't think it qualifies as price fixing, in that only a small percentage of the available stock uses it. If a large percentage used it, then maybe there'd be a case for it, since I'm guessing it uses advertised rents of nearby availabilities in addition to the in-building measures, so it'd be playing off of itself. But that wasn't the case when I left the industry, guessing it's still primarily big REITs that use it. It's pretty hard to get small landlords to use any tech at all, and they represent a huge portion of the market.

If housing stock expanded a lot, landlords would lose the pricing power that YieldStar is taking advantage of. The lack of surplus housing in desirable areas is the root problem, and the difficulty of getting new high density housing projects approved and developed in those areas is at the core of that. The vacancy rate of rental housing nationwide has been dropping for years, and that includes a lot of places where people aren't clamoring to live.
> I agree that we’re now at the point where there is so much money at the top that the power imbalance is too influential to be ignored.
