> this whole conversation is based upon the idea that trans women aren't valid

Exactly. They aren't. A 'trans woman' is a type of man and needs to be treated as such when his demands and desires come into conflict with women's needs.
It's also a problem with the housing system. Discrimination against people who have a rental debt is leveraged as a business practice, and is horribly abused.

There's an unregulated credit bureau where apartment buildings report rental debts to enforce collection. If you have a record in that database, you can't get housing at most residential apartment buildings. This, of course, puts way too much power in the hands of apartment building owners and management companies.

They can set ridiculous terms in their leases, inflate prices, and otherwise do as they please. If you disagree, your only option is court. If you can't afford that, your only option is to comply. If you can't afford to comply, you're out of luck. Your next housing is likely to be an extended stay hotel for two or three times a typical rental for much shoddier housing without any kind of rental protection or eviction protection.

It's not just people on drugs or with mental health issues who are homeless. Those are the _visible_ homeless. The ones on the street without jobs. Not the person in a cubicle nearby who never tells you about their housing problem out of fear that it will negatively affect their professional prospects.
At least people in the Bay Area or San Francisco live with the consequences of their own ideology.
You cannot say the same about the Martha's Vineyard residents, they deported all the migrants within 72 hours. Even the people with the "in this house we believe no human is illegal" did everything in their power to get them out of there.
Bitcoin has extreme scalability and privacy problems.

Over the course of 20 minutes, the maximum number of people who can engage in transactions is somewhat under 50,000. This is obviously unworkable as a global currency; if the user base and transaction volumes rise, you might be waiting hours or days for a transaction to complete.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_scalability_problem

The blockchain also records details of your transactions forever, and unless you carefully obfuscate your activity, every bitcoin user will have the entire blockchain and your entire history on it. Forever.

This certainly gives me pause.
If you are sophisticated enough to design a good relational model and use an ORM to generate it, what does an ORM give you? Serious question. The answers I've seen typically stress the advantages for developers who are uncomfortable with SQL (who I think are either going to get comfortable or fail, and the ORM will only delay them getting comfortable or enable them to create a more expensive failure) or more easily generate lots of different complex queries (which sounds plausible, but I've never seen it.)
Homelessness is a housing problem: https://seliger.com/2022/06/29/homelessness-is-a-housing-pro...:

There’s a naive, common view that homelessness is primarily about “mental illness” and “drugs” and other potential contributors to homelessness; while those factors exist, the lower the cost of housing, the easier it is for someone on the margin of being housed or being homeless to stay housed. The lower the cost, the easier it is for family, SSDI, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV, formerly called Section 8), and other income supports to keep a person housed. Intuitively, this makes sense: it’s easier to cover $750 in rent than $2,000 in rent, even for someone with mental illness and drug problems. As the cost of housing goes up, the number of people who fall from the margins of being “housed” to being “homeless” goes concomitantly up. While mental illness and drug abuse are factors, they’re secondary to housing costs, and they’re really red herrings relative to overall housing costs and ongoing housing shortages across America.

The homelessness problem is intractable without zoning reform and the removal of barriers to new housing construction, whether those barriers are height maximums, parking space minimums, or “neighborhood input” or “community input.”
Critics renew calls for a TikTok ban, claiming platform has an anti-Israel bias
Interesting to re-read that article again and see that technologies he cites as so cutting edge you're spending innovation tokens on them are now mainstream and very well understood. What would the new "you can use those but you're spending innovation tokens!" technologies would be. Rust? AI? CGP?
Way for us to feel touch uncovered by Imperial researchers
As far as I am aware this is mostly BS and numerous analyses have found that housing prices have far more of an effect than drug use. This podcast episode covers the common arguments about homelessness, drug abuse, and mental illness. Feel free to check the sources and see if everything adds up.

Example 3: The USA.

It was subsequently shut down because it couldn't compete with private banks.
Interesting idea!

They wouldn't even necessarily need to rent out the private rooms (which would have higher housekeeping costs, and later check-ins, if they were dual-purposed as work areas) but maybe just a lobby-like or breakfast space or two. That helps the community too, so everyone's not just tucked away in their own little rooms.

However, probably a lot of small indie hotel locations are franchisees with some access to capital but probably limited participation in techie/hipster/young nomad circles (which is mostly what I see in coworking spaces). Usually those small local hotels, in my experience at least, are family-run and maybe not equipped to deal with either the infrastructure side (they almost all have shitty wifi, as a rule) or the customer service side (a constant stream of of people going in and out, not just during check-in and checkout... but then again, that is their bread and butter, so maybe?).

In my recent travels I did come across a cool outdoorsy chain though with more modern attitudes (repurposing old motels into fun community stays with regular rooms, hostel beds, camper van spaces, shared cafes and kitchens, etc.): https://www.logecamps.com/home Something like that could probably easily pivot, but then again, that's often a different demographic than the typical coworking space user. I dunno. These days they're all kinda blending together though :)

Still, all in all a cool idea. Wish I had the capital to start something like that!
Could you elaborate? Are you talking about this?

You figure wrong. Hospitals require residents to do a lot of work, but they can't bill Medicare/Medicaid or private insurers for much of that work. Hospitals can't afford to just hire more.
If you can use JS it's easy. For example localStorage.setItem("salt", Math.random()).
Without JS it's hard I think. I don't know why this author wants to use JS, perhaps out of respect for his visitors, but then I think it's worse to send PII over the wire (And an IP hashed in the way he describes is PII).

There should be some scale due to bargaining position. But i dont think they should be tech company scaling. They can at least centralize corporate (it, hr, accounting, etc). But this is the mindset of a frugal business and not a vc funded business.
The premise of the question is wrong: Toyota isn't anti-EV (ot even anti-BEV).

See, e.g.: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/toyota...

The entire basis of the claimed Toyota being so “anti-EV” in the article is a Toyota Australia sales executive saying BEVs aren't currently the optimum choice for the median Australian customer, while there are markets where that is different (Norway given as a specific example), and that hybrid-electric vehicles are a better fit for most Australian customers. Which is a stupidly weak basis for the angle.
If you are omniscient, and knew what would happen before you gave the present to the 5-year-old, even knew before you got the present, even knew before the kid was born then it's definitely your fault.

Why dies the kid behaves like that in the first place and why is the toy breakable. Shouldn't higher standards apply to an omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient being?

We also need to add serious mental health care as many are suffering from mental health issues self remedied by addiction to intoxicants. I have a family member who's been addicted for decades and even holding their hand by driving them to detox (a huge fucking scam) or therapy and putting a roof over them with food is not enough. They're so mentally fried from years of doing nothing but being high: no job, no social life, no hobbies - they just get high to pass the time day after day after day for over two decades. The only reality they know is a stupor. Sure, they might make a little progress from the weekly visits to a shrink but any stressor sends them right back to cloud city. From my experience they need daily if not 24/7 companionship with some kind of mental health life coach or whatever to keep them focused and anchored. Any opportunity to get high they will take so they need continuous supervision. Even family members don't have that kind of time to invest. It's such a stupid hard problem to solve.
Whoah, I think you completely mis-read my intention.

My point is that C++ offers users a lot of tools. You don't need to use most of them to solve most problems. Just start with simple tools: functions, classes, standard templates, etc.

That 10% effort will solve 90% of problems.

If you find a problem that can't be solved with the simple tools, then start looking into more advanced features C++ offers and use them if appropriate.

That is why no-one needs (or should try) to keep all of C++ in their head. It's not necessary for most problem solving.

It's of course fine to be enthusiastic about it and learn some new things just for the sake of learning. But it's not a requirement to know all of C++ to write C++.
Most Hertz Tesla's are rented out to Uber drivers, who put a lot more wear and tear on their cars than the typical rental vehicle.
The server is aware of the client's local time.
>It's not about a lack of understanding, it's about convenience. A cashless system tends to be more convenient, and that's why people like it.

Cashless is definitely more convenient (I'll give you that all day, because it absolutely is), and it's great, but there are a bunch of economic actors that would prefer to be able to pay in cash or accept cash payments, and not all of those actors are illicit actors - there are plenty of legitimate businesses that would prefer to deal in cash whenever possible. Plenty of service people such as waiters, barbers, drivers, etc...benefit from cash. I think the lower on the economic rung you go, the more useful cash is.

I'm a small biz owner myself, and I accept digital payments with no problem, but those same digital payment platforms take a nice cut of my margins. I can offer better prices if I don't have to fork over 2-5% to a 3rd party that provides little value outside of someone being able to pay me by tapping our phones together.
If hospitals don't have the revenue, they should charge the cost of services to balance their books.

I think government involvement in the residency program is problematic distortion, causing hospitals to chase a scarce resource instead of working to expand the supply pipeline.
The way I made things better (though it’s always an ongoing battle) was getting more consistent about a few key things. Maybe you already do this, but the key strategy for me goes something like:

- go to bed earlier than you think you need to (9-9:30pm for me)

- get outside and moving as early as possible. Ideally in bright light, and without a time-sensitive objective. For example, leave early to walk to work so it can be leisurely. Or wake up early enough that you can just go for a 15-20m walk with no destination and wake up your body.

- No screens past 6pm or so. I allow my watch, but I hide my phone. I will let it ruin my sleep over and over and over. I’m only a hairless ape, and I need to plan to prevent myself from doing ape things. The watch doesn’t seem to harm my sleep, but it functions as my alarm/quick way to set reminders/way to see the time or weather/etc. But I need to keep the phone far away.

Different things work for different people, and maybe you’re already pretty close to something like this anyway. I only mention it because I started with magnesium threonate too, and it was a long path to better sleep. I wish I figured this out 15 years ago!
Just wanted to make sure I remembered right. Maybe only the client was based on Sentry, but I'm not sure.

Ah yes, I almost forgot about the POST bleep bloops, and the clickedy click of the HDD actuator... or if you go back far enough the crunching of a 3.5in floppy - though to be fair that was sometimes more anxiety inducing (not the most reliable medium).
Why does this need doing? Pages aren't kept open for that long, especially not when using HTMX and page loads happen more often. Saying "now" for the post you've just submitted isn't that useful, but neither is saying "1 minute ago" when you leave the page open for 1 minute. Humanisation of date times is easy to do server side, so the next time you render the page it will have newly correct timestamps. The vagueness of humanised times also reduces the need to update as they can be quite out of date and still look up to date.
The card industry has zero incentive to create a card like this. Card issuers collect 1.25-3.5% of every payment made with a card. A global sales tax paid to a small collection of companies. This is fantastically profitable. I suspect if a card was created that would mean less revenue for the card issuers it would be embraced then extinguished.

A lot of the cheerleading for WeWork was driven by distaste for Regus and the stodgy incumbents, very similar to the Uber/Airbnb hype re: taxis and hotels. Everyone thought the low prices and good service would last forever, even as their strategy was clearly to monopolize control of premium commercial real estate.

Now these companies have gone public, raised prices massively, we're right back to square one.

First you have to cut it in half, and add the metalized interior partition that becomes the parabola. Then plastic weld all the seams, putting it back together into a bisected sphere.

If you pressurize both halves correctly, with the right differential, Bob's your uncle.

If you have the means to weld seams in Mylar, it would likely be easier to build one from scratch.

There is so much low-hanging fruit to pick before we create a two-class medical system.

Also, “millions” is hyperbole. It’s tens of thousands a year [1]. Two million or so in a lifetime. But half as many as from alcohol [2].

Honestly, it would obviously be better if it was paid, but as you said, the pay is often very low so it wouldn't make much difference. I have cold emailed a few companies but didn't really think about startups as I thought they would not necessarily have enough resources to allocate to an intern (not only financially, but also in terms of mentoring, even though I find myself quite autonomous). I should definitely try that. Thank you for the advice!

A currency is only as good as the stuff that can be bought with it, which is why most petroleum is sold in dollars, not in gold, bitcoin, or whatever.

I think a lot of people miss out on how expensive cash is. I worked as a cashier at a store, and at a bank branch that mostly dealt with commercial customers, and there are a LOT of indirect costs associated with cash.

With digital payments you see exactly how much the payments cost. Swipe fee + processing fee, and it isn't fun as a business owner to see ~3% of your money going to a bank.

With cash, it takes some effort to tally the costs. Cash handling equipment: POS, safes, bill counters for larger merchants, etc... Then you have to add the amount of time your employees spend on cash: counting drawers at the start, counting drawers at the end, managers counting money into and out of the safe, managers taking cash to the bank, or hiring a service to do that, cash goes missing through malice and negligence, etc...

> Without looking it up do you know what are the Java memory model guarantees?

* Java is a happens-before language--you need a sequence of X happens-before Y from a write to a read that crosses threads for the language to be well-defined. I'm not going to list the "obvious" cases of happens-before relations.

* volatile variables in Java are sequentially consistent atomic variables.

* 64-bit loads are atomic in the sense that word tearing cannot be observed.

* Writes to a final variable in an object's constructor happen-before the end of constructing an object. (Probably the easiest thing for people to forget)

* There's a bunch of complex rules to try to explain what happens if you violate happens-before and you have a data race. These aren't really right anyways, so you can safely ignore these and pretend it's UB if you do create a data race, which is what happens in other happens-before language models.

The first is arithmetic shift right and the second is logical sign right; alternatively, the first will copy the sign bit into the lower vacated bits while the latter does not.

I don't necessarily have a pay requirement. I think that even unpaid would be fine depending on the project.
I recently got a 'discount' for paying my car maintenance in cash. I got cash right next to the garage just to pay in cash. Of course this discount isn't because the owner likes cash, it's because he can just grab the cash and not pay taxes, which is why I got a discount in the first place.

The paying in cash and not being traced part is directly connected to a criminal act. Wonder why governments aren't liking cash transactions.

As for #1 and #2, you really DO need to measure. Over the years I've spent a lot of time optimizing other people's code and many performance problems are quasi-bugs. Doing things like inserting data into sorted data structures (as opposed to doing all your inserts and THEN sorting) aren't so much "This is an obvious hot spot from the problem definition" as "A poor decision made this a hot spot."

Profiling finds this sort of low hanging fruit quite easily.
