One big confound here is pricing. It’s easy to look at people moving into suburbs and concluding that’s a preference other than “can afford to live there”.

The main takeaway I have is that post-pandemic no municipality should be taking things for granted. The presence of a large business downtown will no longer guarantee demand for residences, restaurants, etc. so cities need to focus on building the things which make them appealing (community, culture, sustainability, etc.) and addressing the problems which make people leave. If your downtown is a mess of highways and parking to serve suburban commuters, even fewer people are going to want to pay a premium for housing so their taxes can subsidize those commuters rather than their neighborhood.

The same applies to suburbs: all of that car infrastructure is really expensive and most places don’t have taxes high enough to maintain it. As things age, blocking density and transit is going to lead to higher taxes and people leaving, especially if the nearby cities are smart about adding housing. If people are only living in your suburb because it’s where they can afford a house in commuting distance, telework and transit improvements are going to encourage people to leave - they’re not sticking around for the nightlife at Applebees #7649.
Just curious - have you tried rabbit, and would you consider it to also be gamey?
Last time I checked Twitter was quite operational with a fraction of the people. Like every other big tech company it was obviously bloated. Wouldn’t be surprised if it still is. You are suggesting a costlier alternative to what has worked beautifully and will be taught in HBS case studies ten years from now. Already inspired the rest of the valley.

Advertising revenue was on its way down pre-Elon and exacerbated by the macro conditions. Display ads is a tough business. Just look at competitors like Snap. Sure Elon image may have given some customers an easy out but that’s affecting revenue at the margin.

Musk has bought a shitty business in the hope of magic happening which may very well happen because of his changes, albeit still hard to see, but the stupidity, if any, lies in his acquisition of a dud, not his execution post-acquisition which has been arguably perfect up until the questionable brand change to X whose verdict is still up in the air.

Normally, languages implement SIMD compilation for a specific set of data types/structures and even then you have to really make sure to ask the compiler nicely. Julia is able to vectorize any generic, user-defined data types/operators/functions. This comes at the cost of pretty horrid syntax. It needs extra syntax to give the compiler the information, for sure, but you can argue that it could have been chosen better.

X .= f.(2 .* X.^2 .+ 6 .* X.^3 .- sqrt.(X))

There's only two things that are certain in this world, death and taxes - Benjamin Franklin.

The main purpose of screening for early disease or genetic condition detection regardless of the diseases or illness, cancer, heart attack, stroke, etc, is not really to prolong longevity, even though that's a wonderful side effect, but the main thing to prevent complication(s) that may arise from the late detection.

Apparently death does not incurs extra and massive medical bills, on the other hand complications will certainly do. If you connect the dots, this suddenly become a really good and plausible conspiracy theory.

It's a shame that most of the health organizations, I'm looking at you American Heart Association (AHA), are really against any form of routine screening [1],[2].

I think we plausibly have a genuine glut of offices that no one wants or will ever want again. My argument is that the situation for residences is completely different. Even if urban neighborhoods were only half as popular next year, we would still need to produce quite a bit more of them.

> We literally just had anti-mask protesters and anti-vaccine protesters take over one of the major political parties.

We also, at one point, had top doctors letting it be known that cloth masks increase the chance of infection. Not an unreasonable thing to say as the 2015, if I recall correctly, study in hospitals shows that medical professionals wearing cloth masks were at greater risk of infection of disease over wearing no mask due to increased incidents of face touching.

Not unreasonable, but not true, was it? Followup studies around COVID-19 in the general population found very different results. Now imagine if we got wrapped up in being concerned about what is "true". We'd be left thinking cloth masks are detrimental. But as we weren't concerned about what is true, we were willing to keep evaluating the situation.

> But surely at some point a human life is worth more than a bit of money in the store owners pockets?

My main concern is not about "a bit of money in the store owners pockets". It's abou signaling that the rules simply do not apply, that laws can be picked and chosen based on how you feel about the perpetrator.

Again, I said the punishment should fit the crime:

1. The person should be arrested, and basically be given the equivalent of "We'll show you how to access services in SF so you don't need to steal in the future. If you're not caught stealing in the next X months, your record will be cleared".

2. For further infractions, they should be given escalating warnings and escalating penalties.

It took me awhile to get used to the dot operator, but what convinced me that it was a good choice is that also your own function can be broadcasted with function_names.(args). For example is you have a function process_a_file(in_filename,out_filename,parameter_value), then you can easily process also a list of files with process_a_file.(in_filenames,out_filenames,parameter_value) (if parameter_value is a scalar it gets broadcasted). I think that it is similar to numpy ufunc's but every function have this possibility.

A useful macro is @. which allows you to write "@. A * B * C" instead of "A .* B .* C". Also the macro avoid the creation of an intermediate vector with A times B.

IANAL, but the law does not require you to "circumvent" anything[1].

Simply, anyone who "accesses a computer without authorization ... and thereby obtains ... information from any protected computer" is in violation of the CFAA.

If the researchers in question did not download any customer data, nor cause any "damages", I am not sure they are guilty of anything. BUT, if they had, "the victim had insufficient security measures" is not a valid defense. These researchers were not authorized to access this computer, regardless of whether they were technically able to obtain access.

They represent underlining.
Just to be clear we don't have indentured servitude or forced labour in my country either. Employees can quit any time they like, even with employment contracts. A contract cannot force anyone to work, under any conditions. Even with a contracted notice period an employee can walk away at any moment. They would be in breach of their employment agreement but there's very little recourse on the employers side. The employee must be paid for any work they have performed, no exceptions.

The employer may sue for damages in the case an employee does not complete their notice period, but they cannot force them to work it. And the employer would need to demonstrate damages.

But an employer cannot just dump an employee who has an employment contract (implied or explicit).

I'm talking about the simple crap. Like, does Ivermectin work at stopping COVID19? Answer: no. It never did, it never had a chance. It was studied first by the RECOVERY Trials and Dexamethasone was the first cheap ($20ish) drug found to be useful.

All the bullshit with Ivermectin after RECOVERY trials was just that: bullshit and misinformation.

Come on dude, its not so hard to see the misinformation littering our discussion space. And your avoidance of the _OBVIOUS_ problems to seed your argument is proof that you're in this for internet points rather than truthful discussion.

The best thing I did for my mental health was my gradual decline from interacting and using social networks. I was scrolling through my IG feed mad and jealous because people there seem to have a lot more going in live than I have, until by pure chance one girl who seemed the happiest person on her IG travels randomly outed herself to go to therapy for her depression and suicidal states. This happened almost 5 years ago, and I never looked back.
> The secular tailwinds are simply too great to bet against

You can take up both positions if you want. I've got long exposure through various ETFs. I also maintain a small hedge in the form of put options. Overall, most of my NVDA money pile says "it would be fantastic if this all works out". But, I have a small % of the pile dedicated to "Just in case...".

The only situation I don't want is one wherein things stay exactly at this level and don't move anywhere for a long time (or do so incredibly slowly).

> These companies have hired focus groups, marketing experts, psychologists, and countless design teams to get people hooked on their platform. Are we really surprised?

I don't think that this is the problem. From what I know, hackernews doesn't hire any marketing experts, psychologists or focus groups. It doesn't even support images. I was more addicted to this site than any other, despite the lack of psychological tricks.

And there are many sites that DO employ full psychological warfare teams that I completely ignore. Tinder seemed fully committed to forcing repetitive user engagement. And I dropped that site after about two days, psychologists or not. If all it took to force engagement was a certain list of UI tricks, every funded social site would be able to do it.

I don't think there's a single root cause or an off switch for social media. This phenomenon is here to stay, for better or worse. I think that we will adapt as a species but there's no going back.
I am certain they are having a hard time getting customers in the younger demographics. For instance they rebranded their rewards program to “Nordy Club” in a ham fisted attempt to be hip. Just one telling example and I am sure they wasted millions on it.

I see! Who are you arguing against? The article gives zero indication that any of this is actionable, seems to advocate not changing anything with respect to your regular medical care.

Had a little shindig on the weekend and a friend brought it along. I don't usually buy much meat, but it's in reasonable distribution here in Australia. You can also buy emu and, I assume, crocodile. Once bought a farmed crocodile at a market in China with a Kiwi friend. They asked if we wanted it killed, we said yes, the next 15 minutes were horrible... they had a hell of a time decapitating the thing with a cleaver then both the head and the body kept walking around moving for another full minute or so. Serious dinosaurs, like giant snake-chickens. The meat isn't that tasty, tastes kind of like chewy chicken, but it was a memorable.

> all hacking is unethical?

No, that's not what tptacek said.

"Ethical hacking" is from the same vein as "responsible disclosure". These are weasel words that are used to demean security researchers who don't kiss the vendors' ass.

As a security researcher, my ethical obligation is not to the vendors of the software. It's to the users.

Ethically speaking, I don't care if my research makes the vendor look bad, hurts their sales, makes their PR team sad, etc. I similarly don't care if my research makes the vendor look good.

Are the users better protected by my research? If yes, ethical. If not, unethical.

Terms like "ethical hacking" are used to stilt the conversation in the favor of vendors.

> the database was running in the cloud, not on any computer they controlled.

If it's running in the Cloud, but in your Cloud account, it's morally equivalent to running on Your Machine. I'm not sure how the law will interpret anything, but given a compelling counter-argument, I don't imagine lawyers will argue differently.

There's about 100 attacks attributed to Uyghur seperatists over the years. This is 101 information. One would need to be mentally challenged to think PRC false flag 100s of terrorists attacks killing 1000s in their own territory over past 20 years as setup for XJ securitization. The reality is XJ is a poor, frontier region with restive minority that got radicalized during era where PRC had poor infra to XJ and couldn't assert control over population. 100 attacks (that western DB can indentify) doesn't happen without support base, either in sympathies/affiliation/funding. So entire region/minority gets the boot, punish those who needs to be punished, reeducate those who needs to be reeducated, even if behaviourly remotely adjacent to seperatism, and a few years later, zero terrorism attacks.

False positive excessive? Yes. Even in 2019/20 PRC estimates 5 years of strike hard caught ~13k terrorists in ~1500 organized gangs, ~30k people for ~5000 illegal religious activities. All of which is to say, even if you take CCP official figures, magnitude more people were wrapped up in securitization than the 40k attributed to terrorism problem. But that overbroad dragnet ensures you don't replace 1 terrorist with 2, and targetting 0.1% of the population to prevent future attacks is basically no shit correct political decision for domestic serenity. Which makse the entire genocide narrative even more retarded. PRC could trivially actually genocide, as in destroy, 100% of Ugyhurs in a few weekends with pocket change, but chose laborious/expensive reeducation system and securitization architecture that will need to be put in place for decades precisely because it doesn't want to genocide. If only because it would look bad on Xi's hagiography to reduce 55 minorities to 54.

The fact is, if Xi was Obama, he'd be collecting his Nobel Peace prize by now.
How did you measure that?

As an European born, long term resident in the US:

* It is really, really hard to find a good loaf of bread here that does not cost $5 or more.

* Not everything needs cheese, cream, butter, or all of those.
Well some companies believe something different like itext, they even mention something like

Honestly, I don't know what these non-sequiturs are trying to serve. They have nothing to do with the discussion taking place. It seems like you just want to go on some weird political rant or to express your emotions in some strange way. A discussion has no place for either of those things.

I think retail locations ebb and flow and it's hard to parse through other factors. I suppose I'm a data point by keeping my location and Nordstrom as a constant over time with neighborhood as a variable.

25 years ago, it was particularly fun to go shopping at Union Square/Market Street, including Nordstrom. Then that devolved into going to Nordstrom at Stanford Shopping Center. Now I prefer to go to Nordstrom Rack in East Palo Alto. In the early 90s, I was afraid to drive through the town due to drug battles.

On the other hand, I still go to Hayes and Haight Streets in SF to shop, even if these urban neighborhoods can be "scruffy."

Maybe I like shopping areas that are interesting but not overly threatening.
Well hopefully not. I'd be really happy if we could deprecate the military and its spending altogether because the world is safe enough. War is terrible for everyone even the winner. And there is no glory in conquest.

I have never heard of non exempt employees having more protections or having to be paid twice a month, in any US jurisdiction. Can you provide an example?

I have only ever heard of non exempt and exempt to simply distinguish employees that are owed overtime after 40 hours per week and employees that are not owed overtime after 40 hours per week.

There is no federal law about pay frequency, but pretty much all states require at least monthly, if not semi monthly or biweekly, regardless of exempt or non exempt nature of employee.
