> The thing though is Sacramento, like SF, has a problem where naked unhoused people urinate in the middle of the lawn of the main library at the height of rush hour traffic.

No, it doesn’t.

For one thing, the main library in Sacramento does not have a lawn to urinate in the middle (or any other part) of.

So if someone has seen that happening on the lawn of a main library in some city’s downtown, the one thing I can say for certain is that the city isn’t Sacramento.

I’m guessing, though, that you were just assuming that since, Sacramento does, in fact, have a homeless problem, and a downtown, and a main library in the downtown, you could just assume that some share of the homeless problem is naked and urinates in any given location downtown, and coming up with a colorful description you felt safe with that was not based on any actual observation of, even, the actual library in question, much less anyone urinating there.
I'd start by making 650K, then pay a 90K salary to some smart beancounter who figures out how I can get away with paying only 60K in additional income tax. And, lo and behold, 500K just like that.
A good amount are still riding the blockchain wave though
I doubt it. I owned a house in SF. For me it was looking at the city. I grew up in the bay area and have been going to SF since the 70's. San Francisco is a beautiful city. Architecturally fantastic. In the 60's, 70's and 80's there were waves of mass fast building of apartment units and much of it is really, really ugly. I would not like to see San Francisco go in another ugly direction just so people can say they have an SF address. Further, I just felt the city could not take a boom in population. Public transportation, road usage already felt maxed out. There is a delusion that if they make owning a car expense and difficult, enough people will abandon the idea of owning a car to make it work. You could call me highly skeptical on that front, especially the Bay Area where a car is just so useful even if public transportation is used to get to work.

Another thing is looking at single cities rather than the entire metro areas. San Jose is first and San Francisco second. Where would Manhattan and Brooklyn be on the list if Queens and the Bronx were not there to bring the numbers down? Workers need affordable housing but I'm not convinced they need to be in specific arbitrary lined off areas rather than in the greater metro area with reasonable commute time to work...
sorry mistyped, that's what I use
They look perfect but the most I've ever spent on a car works out to be about $4.5K in USD. I guess the running costs would be lower but this is well over double the most expensive car I've ever owned.
It’s certainly possible to get such wood, but rare. Harvesting 1% of a timber parcel per year is devilishly hard. Those that do it have all the customers they need and don’t really want to talk with anyone else - it’s more a factor of how the wood is going to be used than the price.

True co2, not equivalent like say the bme680. Previously used equivalent ones and the data is tangibly better. Highly recommend.

I'm curious what technologies were lost for thousands of years. Roman concrete is essentially lost, Silphium is extinct, flexible glass, and Greek fire.

Modern technology is lost in bits and pieces: Starlite is one example. Unknown unknowns are the most elusive.
I have been using Reddit for more than ten years, and I have the slight feeling it's starting to hurt the website as a whole.

I can't really say if content is getting worse.

I agree with the strike, but this really is a big crisis, it seems is going to create a lot of damage to the communities.

It's true that some mods abuse their powers and that it's not a perfect system, but this system is also what made Reddit so successful...
The Ford family are significant shareholders. The “No dividends” clause of the bailouts would have hit them hard. If they hadn’t timed it well with the pre-GFC loan, it’s likely they would have tried harder not to take the bailout regardless.
I'll keep it short too: You don't understand what (many) people are trying to explain to you, and are coming to dangerously incorrect conclusions. If many people are giving you the same feedback, it should trigger something in your head, but somehow, it doesn't. You don't even seem to be trying to understand or considering the fact you might be missing something, so I'm giving up.

Please do not ever build systems which ever touch any sort of critical data or which work on consumer devices outside of a sandbox until you've picked up basic clue about security.

"At least"?

The open source build will be using the libraries of what we have in our production system, but it'll be a single server release, which isn't something we're running in production. So while many components are things we've been running production for a while, the server process as a whole will be new.
2021-2022: "The stock market is going up, let's hire tons of new employees and go fully remote."

Clearly the same idiots are still in the C-suite.
Is that surprising? Most of us probably relax working with what interests them (which can be hobby or work) in general, and inline assembly is obviously part of Linus Torvald's interests.
I think you are right, but databases are complicated enough where people can have different interpretations of what the fundamentals means.

For example, is being able to write the basic SQL query enough, or do you need to know what the difference between a hash join and nested loop is?

Without a pretty deep understanding, I think it can be hard to pick out faults with the ORM, and there is always the chance the ORM might avoid making a mistake you do yourself.

it's called g factor. it means ability at one task is highly correlated with ability on another task. block assembly is highly correlated with vocab.

Alternative take: the US customary units have stuck around because SI has failed to present itself as better enough to switch. Grant that all base units are arbitrary[1], many of the customary units make easier logical sense in day-to-day life, or are designed to be divisible in easier units than SI units are designed to be.

Do you want ⅓ of a foot? Well, that's 4 inches (12 inches in a foot, divide by 3, you get 4). Feet are made up of 12 inches, a number that can be divided by 2, 3, 4, and 6. Very convenient. One yard is three feet, gaining all the divisibility benefits that feet already have, and then some.

How about volume? Especially when dealing with recipes, the customary units are extremely convenient, with perhaps one exception. One gallon is four quarts (alternatively, two pottles, but that unit is not encountered much, shame), one quart is two pints, one pint is two cups, one cup is eight fluid ounces, one fluid ounce is two tablespoons, one tablespoon is three teaspoons. Excepting the last one (three instead of two), these measures make it very easy to double and halve quantities at will. Just a little bit of math, and third and quarter measurements are not difficult either. Effectively the customary volume measurements are counting in binary.

How about temperature? What's a more convenient scale for human living conditions? 0–100 °F or -20–40 °C? I know what one I'd pick. I am aware people live in even colder and hotter environments, but the majority of people in the world don't need to worry about values outside of this range. I also think "0 is very cold" and "100 is very hot" just makes more sense than "-20 is very cold" and "40 is very hot".

Metric/SI systems have been pushed in the United States since the 1860s. The continued use of the customary units is not for lack of trying. The customary units are plenty good already, have a few advantages of their own, and SI has failed to present itself as an overall better system. We'd probably adapt just fine, but we don't want to. We already have a convenient system for everyday use. (SI is probably better in scientific fields, and it's already used in such industry, so there you go.)

[1] Yes, even the SI base units. Look up their definitions and they're all defined with very difficult to remember numbers that you can measure against physical constants. This is because old meters, grams, liters, et al were arbitrary things and physical constant definitions have been retrofitted onto them. United States customary units are likewise defined as multiplications against the SI base units. Customary units already benefit from the physical constant definitions.

The occupancy of the building does not appear on the balance sheet. Can’t imagine people really care.
That stuff really isn't that expensive though, I mean it adds up, but the real cost is the multi levels of labor mark ups going through contractors for the labor to ultimately be done by someone with very little experience making very low wages.

You will have a "builder" who hires a GC, the GC will then hire subs. The subs will bring in crews and the crews are typically two guys with a truck and whoever they picked up at home Depot that morning.

Every one prices per job except the home Depot laborers that end up doing all the work and they get like $100 / $150 a day cash. But they are who is doing 90% of the work.

In the 40s when you hired someone to build a house they actually built the house, like would be out there sawing or even straight up milling the wood themselves.

Today almost no one that's experienced does new construction where they actually do work themselves. The actual quality workers are all in remodeling because the price to time/work/labor ratio is so much more profitable.

Good point, it depends on the dynamics of the queue but that’s also a good thing to measure.
The pornographers are also plaintiffs in this case. The very first line in the article states this pretty clearly:

"This week, a coalition made up of people who make adult entertainment and people who simply enjoy it filed a federal lawsuit."

Since they're the one funding the lawsuit, what they want is extremely relevant.

Ah, yes, the popular urban myth that houses in cities are made of gold and platinum (or similarly expensive materials) while the houses built on the periphery are doomed by planned obsolescence. Thank you for telling us that isn't the case.
> First, the earliest Earth life what we know of looks very complex.

I would've liked the author to expand here - is he talking about eukaryotes or prokaryotes? Taken literally, eukaryotes aren't the first life so he must be talking about prokaryotes. In that case I'd like to hear what specifically about them the author thinks is "very complex". Cell membranes? ATP synthase? Electron transport chains? Something else?

I'm trying to be generous with the author, but an alternative explanation is that he wanted to write about UFOs, skimmed for known arguments, saw "early life was very complex" and thought "that's gonna sound great in my blog".

This seems to be a sort of "gotcha" question, wherein you pose points of precedent breaking for which I am likely to support the outcome but not the process.

And you are right.

I absolutely support both same-sex marriage and the casting out of the vile separate-but-equal doctrine.

And I think both would have been better done as legislation.

When the supreme court struck down 50 years of precedent supporting the right of women to use abortion as a tool in reasonably controlling whether they would choose to go through the dangers of pregnancy, they showed precedent alone is not a dependable bulwark for the rights of the citizenry.

I also admit I find it far more reasonable for the courts to expand rights and protections than I do seeing it strip them away.

You might argue this is an expansion of rights for those that would prefer to be unhindered by regulatory oversight while destroying, polluting and mismanaging the wetlands now under their control, and I suppose it is. Though I doubt any good will come of it.
It's pretty standard, even outside extradition.

Third party standing for rights is basically not a thing in the US, except in rare cases (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_standing)

Even in other realms, this is usually the case - it's very rare for a third party beneficiary to be able to raise rights that belong to someone else.

For example, Bob writes some software and releases it under the GPL. Evilco takes it and ships binaries of it. You get a binary. You ask them for source. They say GFY.

You are a third party beneficiary of Bob's contract with Evilco. Bob has the right to sue them in court. However, you probably do not have the right to sue them for breach of contract.

(There is nuance i'm avoiding here about to make the point).
For what its worth your point was taken, but I was intentionally being a dick.

I know how I sounded but this entire post is filled with people moralizing without having any understanding of what they're talking about, and I, without any ambiguity, hate people like that.

Like hate in the actual sense of the word and not a hyperbolic dramatization of a milder emotion like annoyance. My intent wasn't to persuade or educate, but perhaps I should be better at not taking the bait and just not commenting.
From what I've seen of NYC they have much bigger issues than this. The article mentions a city official said under 100 restaurants would be affected (which should always be taken with a grain of salt, especially from one in NYC) but the carbon emissions from less than a 100 restaurants making pizza has to be immeasurable compared to the many other sources of pollution in NYC and worldwide contributing to climate change which they refuse to address.

Seems like another way of trying to justify the bureaucracy funded by that $106Bn a year budget and gouge even more money from NYC residents. I'm sure it would be much better spent literally anywhere else.

The post said that one of the reasons Sears houses could exist then, but can’t now, was

> The increase in number and specificity of building codes has come in-part due to foreign-made building materials and poor QC.

And clarified specifically:

> the decline in fitting production and consolidation in the U.S. in the 90s with the introduction of Korean-made fittings. Chinese-made cast iron is another one to poke at.

I’m not pillorying anyone, I’m just trying to get them to join some dots up.

Why is the location of fitting manufacture relevant to the decline of the Sears house?

Doesn’t the availability of cheaper parts manufactured to apparently lower quality standards make it easier for catalogue houses to exist?

And didn’t the Sears house decline long before the Chinese cast iron of the 70s and these Korean fittings of the 90s?

Did building regulations make it harder to offer kit houses? Yet building regulations did not prevent cheap imported parts coming in to the US apparently, so… building refs both were a reaction to foreign parts but also a cause of a decline in US part manufacturing?
I think the point (accurate or not) was that building codes are what they are to accommodate crappy modern lumber.

Although actually afaik older buildings are often overbuilt because there was no engineering to figure out the least you could safely get away with.

I agree with you that houses are more likely to rot than to break from under building and fall down, although events like decks collapsing during
party or roofs collapsing in heavy snow do happen.

Experiment combining the most-cutting-edge longevity tech on mice
It's not as if we don't have solid data supporting benefits to companies. We can point to research that has been going on for decades showing that open floor plans and cube farms hurt productivity. We can point to the savings companies can reap by not having to house all those employees and provide for their needs while in the office. We can show that people who work remotely don't have to worry as much about mass shootings and other types of office violence/harassment. Basically, we know that offices are terrible, and that alternatives are needed, but what we lack is years of research into the advantages and disadvantages of remote work as an alternate.

The problem we have now is that companies want to return to "business as usual" when we know that "business as usual" was stupid. We knew it was stupid before the pandemic, but before an alternative wasn't tested at any real scale.

Remote work isn't perfect, but it's worked very well for many companies and employees and solves a lot of problems. Now that we have an available alternative that works, even if we can't quantify how much it improves things using more than a couple years of research, if companies want to force their workers back into offices it's reasonable for employees to demand changes that solve the many known problems offices have.

For now, I suspect that many employees will simply look for employment where they can get what works best for them and that means companies who refuse to solve the problems of the office will lose talent to companies who are more accommodating.
