Congratulations. Studying one field means you know that field.

This link is not meant for you. It is meant for a scientist, and most scientists do not also have an EE degree or CS degree.

How much graduate level biology, oceanography, physics, geology, chemistry, meteorology, or other scientific field do you know?

All of those have subfields where computational performance is important. My experience is scientists are more likely to pick up the software skills than EEs are willing to pick up the science background. (In part because scientific software development generally pays less well than commercial software development.)

I don't know this for a fact, but it's possible that the text run is logically considered to be Arial and the fallback could be handled as just a rendering step, rather than being encoded in the document. Doing it that way could allow the text to render on different versions of Arial, some of which do have a checkbox char, at the risk of the appearance and layout changing depending on which fonts are installed.
> an 11-story iron-framed skyscraper.

Here in Dubai, it is not uncommon for skyscrapers to be built on top of an 11 story parking building / platau / base.

I think 11 stories would be considered low-rise and even 20-story buildings looks tiny against the Marina skyline.
Oh, folks want to build, that’s for sure. They’ve been prevented, and sometimes still are.

Brian Chesky is not saying to lower their prices. He is asking for property suppliers to check the local prices. Business Insider is pretty much the daily-mail of faux business publications.

For markets to operate efficiently and quickly adjust prices based on supply and demand, you need transparent pricing. He is suggesting people actually compare local prices when setting their own.

What is not working, is people are not comparing all prices or they are not available. When they do, they won't rent at Air BnB. This will be his loss, when hotels claw back patronage from bullshitting Air BnBs.

Unless you have experience using your JD in a corporate legal dept or law firm setting that probably won't get you too much of a lift, but certainly doesn't hurt.

it's incredibly ironic but I've lucked into a very bikeable community in a rust-belt state, we have extensive rails-to-trails here and in this situation the rails followed the main state (2-lane) highway, or vice versa. so I actually can bike to some things specifically thanks to rails to trails.
Generative AI will at some point have to plateau, if it hasn't already. About the bubble pop, the (real) world is no different today than from when ChatGPT launched. This is exactly the same effect Bitcoin has had since the launch of its whitepaper.
Data warehouses are columnar stores. They are very different from row-oriented databases - like Postgres, MySQL. Operations on columns - e.g., aggregations (mean of a column) are very efficient.

Most vector databases use one of a few different vector indexing libraries - FAISS, hnswlib, and scann (google only) are popular. The newer vector dbs, like weaviate, have introduced their own indexes, but i haven't seen any performance difference -

Ask HN: LinkedIn mysteriously banned me permanently; where to go next?
I posted earlier on HN that LinkedIn permanently banned me without knowing why. It’s a moot point with them because no person on LinkedIn seems willing (or aware) to talk to me and tell me why. All I get is the same automated response that I am banned: “We've deemed the activity in your account is in violation of the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Your appeal has been denied, and your account has been restricted permanently. Please see our User Agreement and Professional Community Policies for more information.”

Recruiters expect me to have a LinkedIn link on my resume or portfolio, and they expect job seekers like myself to be searchable on the platform as well. That is no longer an option for me. Besides replacing my LinkedIn URL with my home page on my resume, if that even matters, where do you think I can promote myself as a technology consultant now that I no longer exist on LinkedIn?
Airbnb was cheap when it they were renting excess space. Empty nesters. People whose roommate moved out. People on extended vacations. People who lost their job and needed some extra cash and could live without an extra bedroom.

These people were not trying to pay a mortgage and professional housekeepers and turn a profit. They were just trying to recover some sunk costs.

If you look at hotels vs. apartments or houses, the maintanence and cleaning costs of residential housing are very high because you don’t have the economies of scale you need. The hotel cleaners push their cart down the hall 20 feet while the airbnb cleaners drive all over town, and that’s just one of the many ways hotels are more efficient.

Let's see if ChatGPT understands:

User
What's the use of a "Caution: Wet Paint" sign?

ChatGPT
A "Caution: Wet Paint" sign serves several purposes:

Protection for the Public: It warns people so they don't accidentally touch the wet paint, which can ruin their clothes, belongings, or skin.

Protection for the Work: It helps prevent smudging, smearing, or otherwise damaging the freshly applied paint, ensuring the job looks clean and professional once it's dry.

Liability: By alerting people about the wet paint, property owners or contractors can reduce the risk of potential complaints or legal issues if someone's property were to get damaged.

Guidance: The sign can direct individuals to alternative routes or areas if an area is blocked off for painting.

Overall, it's a simple yet effective way to communicate a temporary condition that people need to be aware of.

Yep, it understands it even better than me.
The concept reminds me of 'psychohistory' from Asimov's Foundation novels.

> What is not working, is people are not comparing all prices or they are not available.

You're not hearing the argument. It's not my argument. It's the way markets are meant to operate. You don't need to ask anyone to check local prices. If people have something they want to sell, they will sell it at the proper price. If they set the wrong price, it will not sell.

So, in this case, they will get instant feedback that they've done something wrong, because their rental units, will not be rented. They will make no money from them. They will be compelled to lower their prices if they want to rent them. You don't need to ask them to do anything, they will discover for themselves, the market will force them to realize their mistake.

What i'm asking is why is the market insufficient in this case? Why is it not working?

But your argument is making me think it works fine, it's just not producing the results that some people would rather see.

Royalties are almost 100% a private industry matter in the US. There is compulsory licensing with legally mandated royalties for certain types of musical performance, but that is used quite rarely. The vast majority of US music licensing goes through performance rights organizations like ASCAP and BMI.

I also wouldn't characterize musicians as being happy with the current state of royalties. Ask a moderately successful musician how much they make on Spotify plays sometime.

Most of the stuff it imported from C++ are relatively minor convenience things, not radical paradigm shifts. You make it sound like C23 started adding stuff like classes or templates.

In an inefficient market people get ripped off. Although I am sure that, some people would think, if someone rented some coastal shack with the same view as a five star hotel with all meals included, for three times the price, would be a great outcome for the shack owner, things like this will usually have the government step in.

As they have down here in Australia, by forcing some central price discovery for things like fuel and electricity.
>Fewer features
It's not like AAA games have an astonishing amount of features. Quantity over quality is currently driving AAA gaming market with its live service model.
Meanwhile an indie game must be feature rich to grab attention because there are thousands of games to choose from.

>most AAAs in the last couple years from Japan
Fewer games, fewer opportunities for messing up. On PC FromSoft games had problems with optimization (Elden Ring).
OP didn't say they engaged in no activity, they just didn't know why they got banned. OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.

Anyway I've never felt it's a requirement to have a LinkedIn profile to get hired as a developer, so the post as a whole is strange to me.

And then you can add that grammar file and it will validate it with this:

Has anyone ever encountered trigraphs in the wild? (in real code, IOCCC doesn't count)

I've seen K&R C a few times, even in modern (well, "modern") code, but I don't think I've ever encountered trigraphs. The proposal mentions that "instances of trigraphs being deliberately used in production code" via a codesearch.com query, but that's public code only (and probably only recent, and incomplete?)

You probably mean common law, also sometimes known as case law, vs civil law which traces it's origins to the Napoleonic civil code, and which is used in all of the world outside of the former British colonies.

My law classes did cover common law, yes, but not favourably(can you guess I come from a civil law country?). Sounds like a system that made sense in 15th century Britain, but is quite the complex beast with many issues nowadays when it doesn't need to be.

However that still doesn't answer my original question, why is there no new legislation to cover the newly existing scenarios talked about? It seems to me that even the UK does that at least for some things, and they're the original common law country.
I had a recent experience with Venmo, owned by Paypal. Not sure if it is related but it was very frustrating.

I thought I already had Venmo so when I customer asked I said yes. Turns out I had a Zelle account. So I quickly set up Venmo. They did a business and personal account by default. I went through all the steps and Venmo said everything was working and ready.

The customer transferred me the money and boom, my account was frozen for "violating the ToS", no more explanation. They transferred money to an account Venmo said was fine. Transferring money IS their business so I thought it weird that this violated their ToS. Also weird that nothing violated the ToS until they had my money.

There is no phone number to call. Chat doesn't help.

Despite the title, Google is not being sued "over bad map directions". Google is being sued because Google allegedly failed to take corrective action after being advised on multiple occasions that it was giving directions to the public that was creating a safety hazard and dangerous condition.

It is alleged that the deceased died when his vehicle proceeded to cross a bridge, as directed by Google maps, that had collapsed 9 years previously and was no longer present. His vehicle dropped 20 feet into the water below and he drowned. It is alleged that over the 9 years after the bridge collapsed (and was never restored), Google was advised on multiple occasions of the fact the bridge was gone and to correct the danger created by its maps, and failed to ever do so.

I obviously have no idea how accurate the alleged facts are. Nor do I have any idea why the driver was unable to ascertain the danger ahead, although I note that it is alleged that no barriers, signs, or other precautionary warnings were put in place to protect and alert the driving public.

I'm simply commenting to point out that the title is misleading and makes it sound as though Google is being sued for having an inaccurate map, when in fact the lawsuit is all about a failure to rectify a safety issue after multiple warnings.

Lastly, we aren't provided with any facts that would enable any intelligent discussion regarding the responsibility of anyone else, whether that be the driver or whomever had responsibility for the conditions on the ground - other than the apparent absence of any effort to blockade or warn of the missing bridge.
Well yes, you need to ask representatives of the people that will be impacted by a law what the impact will be, assess expert opinions, etc. Lobbying isn't only the American political bribery system, there's legitimate reasons behind it.
