Density in itself doesn't drive suicide rates. There's a lot of factors that go into this, and it's reductive to blame this simply on density.

> Tokyo has one of the most expensive rental markets in the world [1]

You're linking to an article about luxury rentals and using that to say Tokyo has one of the most expensive rental markets, but that's misleading at best. Yes, you can pay a lot of money for the high end apartments here, but you can also find super cheap apartments in central tokyo, near the yamanote (central) line.

> No idea about low income residents, having never been there, but I'd guess a massive amount of government subsidies.

There's government housing, which is super popular, but it's not considerably cheaper than market-rate housing. The biggest difference is the lack of fees and deposits. Government housing is a drop in the bucket of overall housing though. Low-income people live in cheap apartments, or shared houses.

> Additionally, due to earthquake resilience Japanese buildings are usually torn down after 20-30 years [2].

Though houses were historically torn down after 20-30 years, that's becoming less frequent as construction quality has increased, and as the current earthquake standards are quite high. This is also not true for highrises and lowrise multi-housing complexes.

Zoning does play a large part in this, as Tokyo's zoning laws are considerably less strict, and don't allow NIMBYs to stop construction.

"The fault is at least 150 miles from Seattle proper,"

Looking at my geological units map of Washington, Seattle is surrounded by a lot of faults, much like parts of Southern California. Some of those much, MUCH closer than 150 miles, and devastating if they go. I can see one going from Port Angeles, crossing the 101, and going into Port Gamble. It likely continues to run either directly under Seattle or just south of it, in fact that might be the continuation of that reverse thrust fault dead south of Seattle which is shown in the map for the story article. If that one goes, Seattle's not having a good time.
Thanks for the input. I saw on your profile that you sold a company before. That’s super cool, especially since it contrasts nicely with what you said about not being afraid of talking about your products or showcasing them early on. I’m still working on being comfortable with that concept but I’d love to get there. Especially since it’d be cool to talk tech with new tech friends irl, who would probably be more inclined to do so if they knew more about my own project…

Funny to see this today. I'm doing consulting for a customer, and have an account on their Outlook/Teams setup, while still being associated with another unrelated company. My own computer and equipment. Yesterday I received a bounce email from Outlook - my forwarded email could not be delivered since the recipient didn't exist. Thing is, I didn't forward anything, and there is a c-level guy in this small company that is close to that user but just a keyboard slip away.

So I have to assume that for some reason that forwarded email was supposedly interesting and there's either a filter to forward, or they manually log in and forward what's interesting. Either way, getting it in my face is pretty off-putting.

Thinking of forwarding that email and add "hey, your surveillance is misconfigured, but here it is anyway".

I think he's trying to show an alternative MP3 encoder to LAME for Go projects. It does seem that he has fallen foul of the Shine license though.

In his own words, he transformed Shine from C to Go mechanically, but he put the result under a license incompatible with Shine's original LGPL license.

I'm really confused about what's meant to be good about Tailwind.

I recently ran create-next-app with Tailwind, and the default example output page has several divs with 600+ characters of tailwind class names. Each! Without word wrap most of the page's style information is way off the right side of the screen, and with word wrap the page source is mostly class names. Is this how tailwind pages are meant to look?

Also, with tailwind the page's style information is all in class names - which are plaintext, with no syntax highlighting or code hints or linter errors. Do people using tailwind maintain styles that way, or is there a quasi-mandatory plugin or something?

The only obvious benefit I see for tailwind is that style rules are tied directly to the markup they modify. But if I use any SFC framework like vue or svelte, I can have scoped CSS with the style rules right next to the markup, and I also get legible style rules, code hints, CSS variables, and everything else. What is it that tailwind makes better?
Well, your question was rude. The polite phrasing that eluded you would be something like, "What motivates you to use your work machine for personal reasons? Can you think of any downsides to this approach?"

Asking "why do you feel entitled" is starting off on the wrong foot.

Imagine that the bundle of cables were all completely identical and unlabelled in any way. Even if you could surgically reconnect the nerves perfectly, you don't know which nerves should be connected to what on the other side.

I guess some law requires them to have phone support for data removal purposes. I found the phone number somewhere. Interestingly the guys on the phone have access to some sort of internal Google telephone directory so they'll give you the number to practically anything just to get the annoying British guy off the phone.
Yeah, that's one of the big ways that it's stronger than California's law (where the private right of action is limited to data breaches). [Another way is that it's opt-in, with an additional authorization for sale of data; California's law is opt-out.]

Of course MHMD doesn't take effect until after the next legislative session, so I'm sure there will be attempts to weaken it. So I'm not counting any chickens quite yet!

How would you recommend cutting edge robotics research to approach this instead?
there is a grey area. some companies will not ship you a device if you are fully remote (which i personally prefer since I'm most productive on my OS/config of choice) yet all their operations exist on google/microsoft accounts. so if you happen to login on one of these on your personal browser and go about business without thinking twice… its all logged!
From what I've seen this isn't "entitlement" - it can be that the employer is aware and OK with you treating their computer as your own (and you can always simply ask). Often such companies allow BYOD. Similarly people might not want two phones, or two cars - so this could be seen as a perk. The policy can be "just format it before you hand it back".

I see this assumption that people are being sneaky by using company devices for private matters on HN quite frequently, but it really doesn't gel with my experience.

How to Succeed in the Interview for a Consulting Assignment
An initial interview with the customer is inevitable. Even if you are going to work completely remotely, the client will want to meet you digitally. In short - succeeding in the interview is a must for a consultant and freelancer. So how do you make the consultant interview a success and a wonderful conversation that just flows completely naturally? I will tell you in this article.

Interviews differ from company to company and from interviewer to interviewer. Depending on the role and assignment, it can also contain completely different parts and be of different lengths. On the one hand, for example, I only had a quick phone interview for one of my assignments. On the other hand, I know that some companies even have tests that you have to take and pass in order to move on to the interview as both an employee and a consultant. It can be both personality and knowledge tests as well as purely logical tests and so-called cases.

When it comes to consulting interviews (by consulting interview I mean when you, as a consultant, interview for an assignment with the client) compared to employment interviews, I can say in general that consulting interviews are often shorter and have fewer elements than employment interviews. The whole process is often much shorter. Job interviews can drag on for several weeks or even months and you have to meet several different people and/or the same person several times. Consultant interviews are usually only one step and one interview and it is common to receive feedback only a few days later or the same week.

The only thing in that list that reduces the quality of living is removing green space requirements. Having a multi-family building in your neighborhood doesn't affect your single-family home.

Reducing parking requirements _may_ reduce quality of living, if public transportation isn't an option.

Japan solves the parking problem by requiring you to have an off-street parking space to own a car. Removing street parking increases the amount of land available for use, makes the city more walkable (and bikeable) and reduces car ownership.

Reckon that's true (I mostly use Linux). Trouble is, Windows has such wide usage and large legacy that one often can't avoid it (some important commercial/industrial software just won't work under, say, Wine no matter how much tweaking and unfortunately there's no Linux version).
Passkeys are one of the non-phishable means for authentication. If something is easy to recover for user then its same for a malicious actor. Some platform based passkeys (apple, google) are actually sync-able across the devices. The whole Passkeys concept is under debate and discussion for what it means for different types of WebAuthn authenticators when it comes to the ability to sync the credentials. Alternatively one can use security keys which they can keep with themselves and could protect themselves by enrolling one additional security key for recovery purposes that they can keep away. Regardless the whole idea is to have more than one MFA factors enrolled so that one is not get locked out. Ease of using WebAuthn/ Passkeys overweighs typing in password, SMS, TOTP codes and has big savings for big players to avoid phishing attacks. It might not be suitable for every use case but worth using for some.

This is a good move, especially with the emergence of OpenAI/ChatGPT which makes the "data is more valuable than oil" statement increasingly accurate.

As someone who has acquired rather too much information about solar over the past few years (in preparation for a largish system) I can say this is a good overall primary.

One irrelevant detail not mentioned, which I like repeating, is that despite being made to literally sun-bathe all day long, solar panels don't like being hot. (Effeciency drops with heat, gains with cold.)

There's not a whole lot you can do about this, except allow for passive air cooling. There are some water cooled panels available, but costs make them uneconomic for now.

I was interested to learn though that on a cold summers day, the panel output can exceed the nominal rating got the panel. Something to consider if you are at high altitude.
For seasonal storage, because you cycle then so rarely, and demand between charging and discharging is so different, the economics favor low cost per kwh solutions, and care much less about efficiency.

Remarks by the White House on the Terrorist Attacks in Israel
I edit in Vim using Dvorak. I always expect `ciw` to “change inner word” regardless of layout. Most shortcuts are stored in my head in this way, not by physical key placement. That said, it doesn’t bother me that xmonad sets up my keys based on the default layout, so if I switch to another to type in a non-Latin script, the WMs shortcuts stay bound to my ‘normal’ keymap as the others are only used temporarily.
Direct electric is still more efficient than green hydrogen even if you take into account all the losses[0]. The amount of loses just during electrolysis and transportation make it clear. EV overall efficiency is 77% from production to engine. H2 is 33%. And this is based partially on 10 year old studies.

Batteries and charging have developed since then, but as far as I know there haven't been any huge leaps in electrolysis processes.

What about countries who don't have an extensive gas pipeline infrastructure? Should they spend "about 100 trillion dollars" building one so they can take part in the H2 revolution?

The US is pretty unique in how your pipeline structure is built vs how ancient even essential parts of your electric grid is. This combined with a legal structure that allows gas pipelines to be built pretty freely vs everyone who can see a new power line can complain about it makes stuff really hard to upgrade.

Yeah, 100%. About 99% of the customer base just wants to take a good photo with the smallest effort possible. Which makes it even more remarkable the company cares enough to include this kind of functionality in a consumer product.
As I understand it, the entire region is on a flat(well, tilted), planar fault because of the way the crust subducts. So you can have earthquakes anywhere in the western PNW from that.

But remember, the bay area is also home to many, many faults, and we don't even know the locations of them all. For instance, the next big bay area quake is likely to come from the Hayward Fault in the E. Bay.
Exactly this... There are numerous stories of people having their boss call them and ask them about something they're doing that they would only know if watching on video. Apparently this was somewhat common as remote work became common among during COVID where women employees would have their boss spy on them remotely via video and they would realize it because the boss would say some offhanded comment that they wouldn't have known if they weren't watching through the webcam.

I do not use my work computer for much outside of work... However, when traveling for work or other times I will 100% do personal things on my computer. Even though I'm devops/sysadmin and had admin rights to disable applications from accessing my macbooks webcam I knew they could override it at anytime they wanted. So I also purchased covers for the webcam & never trusted that I wasn't being spied on via microphone. But any company that does that stuff is just terrible and it's not the way to get the best out of your employees. I am much more likely to put in a lot of extra time outside of work if I can mix in my personal browsing with my work.

Also it was very tempting to have JSX compile into literal strings, effectively being a composable variant of tagged template literals with better IDE support, so that <a href={123}/> compiles to a function that returns `<a href="123"></a>`. It would have simplified the conceptual model significantly, and the implementation almost as much.

But because it would still be joining a bunch of strings together, it's literally about the same speed as the current implementation (which just adds the whole tree to a single array and joins it only once), so there's no real gain there.

And we lose script/style/tag hoisting, which is necessary for components to work the way they do, unless the JSX system is hacked in another (less simple) way to allow for it than currently.

It seems plausible to me and the Panama canal is a good comparison. 30,000 workers dies building the canal, which was 40% of the workforce.

Life was simply cheap. If you go back 75 years further, you had pretty similar documented death rates for sailors - especially in the slave trade where a 25-50% death rate during Atlantic slave crossings was pretty common.
