A chunk of the money created was by lenders, to charge borrowers for the risk of default. If you print more money then you remove the incentive to assess risk. I don't know if this is good or bad, but economics says risk assessment is how capital gets allocated to "good things". Here "good things" I guess means less wasted space in a city center.

There is so much land available in the form of parking lots, and so much unmet housing demand, that you could reasonably infill your standard mall or big box lot if zoning allows.

A lot of malls have been doing this since retail has been in free fall for quite some time.
There are more plausible explanations that have been extensively studied, like cars getting bigger. Where are the data showing a causal relationship between police enforcement of traffic laws over the past three years and increased pedestrian deaths? Do we even have indirect data, e.g. Sun Belt traffic enforcement declining more than in other states?
I've heard that theory but it still doesn't quite make sense to me.

Investors know that book values are usually stale. They're rarely used as a primary justification for valuation except in industries where mark-to-market is common like financial institutions.

Real estate investors tend to focus on Net Operating Income, which a vacant property won't generate, and Net Asset Values, which are based on market values. Sophisticated investors and lenders aren't going to be fooled into investing in it based on some historical or hypothetical value. Cash flow is important.

If rental properties really were sitting vacant because managers were hoping to preserve book value through an accounting gimmick, I would think property manager that focused on actual cash generation yield would drive them out of business.
There is a critical difference. Game pass gives you access to the entire library from day one. This one requires you to log in once a month to claim the two new games and also hold onto the subscription to keep them in your account. Day one is only a game or two.

I agree with lucideer here. While I think the language chosen needlessly leaves space for pedantic arguments. They're correct that, from the context of google's software, none of these are relevant to the security that Google needs to care about.

it's true they could be a part of the things security needs to care about, but so is a phone catching on fire because of its battery. which in of itself is not directly a security risk.
To a certain extent, yes. I'm mostly daydreaming about if you magically remade my little Volvo with modern materials and one of those low-displacement turbo engines they put in cars today. It would be 500 pounds lighter with 3 times as much horsepower.

But... that car would be a dud today. It's too simple and lacks features (like power seats).

Ah, I didn't realize all CVs are longer. Yeah, a résumé longer than a page is considered bad practice.

However, as an American, I've never heard of a résumé including a mission statement or being adjusted per job. As you said, they're very short documents. I've always seen them just giving the same factual history of the person's employment/education, and the person similarly attaches a cover letter tailored to the specific job, repeating some highlights and how it qualifies him and saying how perfect this job is for him.

But this is good. It means no new office buildings need to be built. The existing ownership and debt will simply be juggled and fought over, numbers on a spreadsheet. The buildings will still exist and be available for office needs at reduced costs (after debt takes a haircut). New urban construction can now focus solely on residential needs, and with housing unit shortages, this natural reallocation of construction effort (due to demand destruction) should be welcomed.
> I know redeveloping commercial buildings into residential is very expensive and difficult

At a certain point, it’s expensive and difficult enough that you’re better off demolishing and rebuilding. There was a viral thread about this the other day: https://twitter.com/rossiadam/status/1672216345901932545
The wars in the Congo were fought over Nickel and Diamonds. No one cared about Cobalt in most centuries. It was the shiny waste product of Nickel mines that sometimes artists enjoyed painting with. (Many blue paints use Cobalt. There are multiple reasons we associate the element Cobalt with "blue".) Even at the peak of the worst of Lithium Ion battery formulations "demand" for Cobalt almost all of it was sourced from Nickel mining "waste".

Which isn't to say that it isn't valid to talk about the conditions of mining Nickel and Diamonds, but people are always (in nearly every century) mining Nickel and Diamond. But blaming Cobalt (and in turn Lithium Ion batteries) for all of the worsts excesses of Nickel mines is a bit extreme. Cobalt is the "waste product". Nickel was always the primary reason for all the mining. (Nickel will likely always be the primary reason. Especially now as Lithium Ion formulations have mostly eliminated Cobalt in recent years.)

What about the small companies that started using CentOS then grew to needing enterprise support and switched to Red Hat? I'm sure they considered this before making the change, but I always assumed this was at least part of the strategy. Now there will be no free entry point that can be converted with a simple repo-swap.
This is the way.

I have a PiHole running in EC2 and I just VPN into it. The VPN is configured so that only DNS goes through it, so I don't tunnel all my traffic through it and pay for lots of egress.

Could easily run the VPN through something local, of course, but I prefer to expose as little as possible on my home network.
But "reading a map" is only one thing you do with CarPlay.

People also use it for music, messaging, finding/changing destinations, voice calls, etc.

The CarPlay UI in particular is so inconsistent and unpredictable that I can never just have a routine. Some Siri commands randomly don't work ("I can't do that while you're driving") when they just worked a few minutes before.

Android Auto is much better, I will say.
Fire department accommodations also shape road size. Being able to turn an engine for instance eliminates a lot of older alley designs in new construction.
I don't know why this is flagged.

Saying "US companies are not allowed to buy EU" is lower quality IMO. Not being allowed to do things has never stopped people from doing things and it isn't adding to the discussion.

At least this comment is pointing out how ridiculous it is to say something isn't allowed as a justification for why it will never happen.
That PEP doesn’t really explain the situation which is that egg is a major reason why pip is so FUBAR. With an egg you can’t know what dependencies a package asks for without running a setup script that may itself bring dependencies in and do who knows what in the process.

Maven has a correct dependency resolution algorithm for Java because it can download the metadata for all the JAR files and solve the dependencies before it has to install them. I’m pretty sure you could do the same for Python but so long as eggs are supported you are stuck with pip’s “start installing stuff and hope for the best” strategy where it frequently paints itself into the corner.

I’m looking forward to a day where pip ‘just works’.

Note egg can inspect the environment, install alternate dependencies, compile C code, etc. Python really needs a mechanism better than it has for optional or alternate dependencies. For instance I should be able to tell it to substitute Intel’s MKL scikit-learn for the default scikit-learn by simply telling pip that it is a substitute.

Haha, I spent an embarrassing amount of time hunting down browsers hidden in apps in the past. The same thing exists in iOS and bypasses for example a time restriction on Safari or Chrome, but can't bypass domain ban or domain time limit restrictions (also included in parental controls). You can access google.com from many apps, I'd say probably half of them. Especially Apple Support app and Microsoft and Google Apps. Those apps always have external links to for example their Terms of Service and you can access internet with not much difficulty, although procedure varies for each app/external link. Also those in-app browsers persist history and website data and there's no way I know of to delete them. iOS Settings app had a couple links which opened in-app browsers which were able to bypass all restrictions but they're all gone since some time,
except literally one. Apple, if you hear me, it can be accessed this way: Settings > iCloud > Family Sharing > Screen Time > Learn more about Family Sharing. I am able to access internet from there: Scroll bottom > About Apple > Apple Leadership > Albert Gore Jr. He has links to Insta, twitter and google books (which can take you to google search and youtube) on his site.

Good comment. Another weakness of Western commentary: people write novels about what they'd _like_ to see happen in Russia, then submit them as the new baseline. (So much effort really, for nothing.) And if we've learnt anything, things in Russia never seem to turn out as one might _like_ them to.

While I personally agree with your latter sentiment, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines bureaucrat to be simply, “a member of a bureaucracy”. Where the top definition of bureaucracy is:

a)
: a body of nonelected government officials

or

b)
: an administrative policymaking group

So really, any government is a bureaucracy.

Frequency of driving was reduced but when you did drive, the roads were empty. The people who did continue to drive daily was not insignificant (maybe 10-30% of people, guessing IDK) and may be the ones creating the problems. Eg. in heavy traffic if 5% of vehicles are driving reckless, it's bad.
Yeah, they're one of the strongest private software companies right now. I'd say easily top 10.
In what way is Red Hat not abiding by the license? My understanding is that Red Hat is making the source code available to their users via their customer portal. I don't think that they have an obligation to make their source code available to non-users.

That's pretty much the usual GPU+CPU workflow... Only you would have less badwith and latency issues.

Still, deciding where to run such things are not trivial, the time it takes to decide what would be faster could actually be more than the time it takes to just run it.
It's actually solvable like a lot of things if we have time and willingness to invest in doing so. You put cameras at intersections or accept cryptographically signed unmodified dash cam footage and mail out the notice that the offending driver is a pedestrian for the next period of time starting at 3 days and progressively increasing until they are giving up driving for the next year.

If they drive during suspension the same cameras allow us to send escalating fines calculated based on their annual income in the last 12 months terminating in confiscation of their car.

Most bad drivers will get small escalating fines that aren't ruinous and stop driving like assholes. A tiny minority who are basically a menace to society will end up owing a ruinous amount of money and losing their wheels.
A federal lawsuit will be way more “annoying” than acquiring an in-state license, installing a VPN, or any number of other alternatives. Seems like this person is a front for moneyed interests.
Toyota has been making claims about solid state batteries for a decade, I don't see why their new claims have any great weight.

They claimed they would have their first EV powered by a solid-state battery out in 2021, and then in 2017, it moved to 2022 and then 2025, then 2026/7.

On the other hand, building EVs doesn't seem that hard. I see no reason why Japanese firms won't be able to make them once they actually try to.
RHEL has a major ecosystem advantage related to drivers that they may not be aware of. They risk ruining this, as I will try to explain.

At the time industry started to take Linux seriously, RHEL was the dominant distro. As a result, and by accident, RHEL+derivs became the primary target for commercial hardware drivers. As an example - it's easier to get obscure low-latency network and packet-capture cards working on RHEL+derivs than on other systems. RHEL+derivs is the assumed standard when you talk to firms that make that kind of stuff.

As a result of driver support, redhat derivs became the standard for commercial deployment. Redhat did not get this volume. The deployed volume is with all the Centos/Rocky/Alma that is deployed in hedge funds, prop firms, oil search grids, etc.

As I see it, this driver situation is the real value in the Redhat ecosystem. The userland is a bit of a mess, the package manager does not impress me. But I deploy RHEL-derivs because drivers work with no hassle.

If Redhat were able to cancel the derivatives, they would trigger the tipping point where industry ceases to treat RHEL+derivs as the standard driver target. Firms using centos on five thousand servers are not suddenly going to start paying USD 350 / year / server where previously they paid nothing. They will move to Debian, and eat the pain of the transition. Commercial driver culture would swiftly follow. That culture change would not take years. It would take days.

I think Redhat's per-server sales model is naive. USD 350 / year gets you a license with no support. This probably gets some commerce from small-business, and a bit more from firms with traditional service expectations.

But is that really where the opportunity is?

When I set up a data-centre presence, I want to PXE-boot each server. This way I can modify the system image for the grid by creating a new PXE image and rebooting hosts. Getting to this setup is fiddly. I wish there was an off-the-shelf solution from Redhat that did a good job of it. USD 2000 per year per site per 100 servers, including support for the PXE device itself. Redhat could coexist with the derivs if it took this path. If they built this as an appliance, that product could become ubiquitous like firewalls and network switches.
> government-mandated removal of a consumer protection is an unmitigated good thing

DRM-locking your tires to certain manufacturers is a good thing, arguably. The manufacturer has exact measurements and can arguably make safer tires than anyone else.

...that's not an excuse to allow it, though. Yes, by allowing third-party tire manufacturers we sacrifice a bit of safety. If safety is a foremost concern of the OEM, they can work with third-party manufacturers to ensure they keep the users safe too.

> But I do expect EU to see a huge increase in scams and fraud, which I guess we should celebrate?

Again - putting a web browser and cell phone onto an iPod ushered in 2 new avenues for fraud. The number of people who were being scammed on-the-go skyrocketed after the release of the iPhone. That doesn't make it a defacto bad release though, and most people would argue both features were a net-positive. So yeah, people did celebrate that newfound freedom. You don't have to use it - you can be the sort of Luddite who only uses Apple Applications and calls the web a hive of scum and villainy if you want. But other people will use it, and probably enjoy and celebrate the feature. Lord knows Mac and Android users have.
MPG regulation would have had the same effect if there wasn't a loophole to avoid it by making the truck bigger :(
Agreed. I don't know why, but I expected more from HN commenters.
FWIW, I doubt my neighbors see all the stuff I haul in the bed, or the trailers I pull, when my truck is not parked in my driveway.

I still think people who delete their diesels or lift their trucks, etc are compensating though. I just won't judge a person who has a standard pickup truck.
No. There's a big song and dance here (one country) every time someone is foolish enough to cross when the barrier is down. So much that the govt and rail network want to eliminate them when it is just a handful of people a year. Now road vehicles getting hit is dangerous to train and track but I am talking about pedestrians.
A few questions went through my as I read this being incredibly nostalgic this past year as well:

1. Do post-life altering events like a pandemic stoke hidden nostalgic behaviors at a higher degree of a population?

2. What percentage of great creative works (any kind) were the result of revelry of that nostalgic wave of thinking?

Obviously this work is a meta result.

As someone wise said to me once "the past is a nice place to visit, but I won't want to live there." I'll extend this thought "If I'm there, I'll harness it to produce art."
>Marking a measuring stick out to 32nds is relatively easy to do

Is it?

I suppose if that stick is going to be the standard you could get a rope of the same length and fold it in half enough times.

Of course you could always make a shorter stick the standard and then find a measuring stick >= 10 times longer and add marks to the longer stick...
In their table sorting by percent or total laid off is worthless because they are sorting strings so "1000" comes before "90"

Shame we can't instead invest billions into making public transit, especially the max lines running from the suburbs into downtown, far more efficient as a practical solution for commuters. The Esplanade is one of my favorite bike routes in the city, second only to the Springwater corridor. I love cruising up the East side and back on the West side while looking out over the Willamette.

I'm going to be sad if that route gets all fucked up, and all just to add a few lanes that simply induce more demand and do nothing to solve traffic problems in the long run. I hate to be that guy, but its inescapable.. cars (as currently conceived and implemented) are a blight on humanity.

I work on numerical evaluation of special functions. Fyi, typically a better way to evaluate Gamma ratios is to use the Lanczos approximation. See the Boost math documentation [0] for good explanation of the problems with calculating n! / k! as

exp(lgamma(n+1) - lgamma(k+1)).

The form I use for the approximation is:

gamma(x) = factor(x) * lanczos_sum_expg_scaled(x)

where

factor(x) = ((x + lanczos_g - 0.5)/e)*(x - 0.5)

and lanczos_g is a constant.

When dealing with Gamma ratios, you can often cancel the factors nicely, giving a highly accurate approximation which doesn't overflow. It's curious I saw your comment when I did. I was just tinkering with the Lanczos approximation earlier today.

If you use Python, the Lanczos approximation is available in SciPy using

from scipy.special._ufuncs import _lanczos_sum_expg_scaled

and you can use lanczos_g = 6.024680040776729583740234375
