The underlying problem is that people who don't yet live somewhere, can't vote. This is why I believe that all of these issues will have to be dealt with on a regional/state level.

Everything is always someone else's problem: density is for other cities (my neighborhood is perfect, no thanks), the bus is for other people (I don't like the anti-social behavior, no thanks), bike infrastructure is for other neighborhoods (we need the street-parking, no thanks), induction stoves are for other kitchens (I like gas, no thanks), we have created a world in which other people are supposed to deal with the burdens of our excesses.

Even the idea that Google was going to "deal with the issue of housing" is just so far down the road of buck-passing that I have no idea whether this is a viable solution, or whether my entire generation will become so fed up that there will just be a cascade of urban density legislation coming from my millinial-gen-z/a cohort that it will become a scorched earth strategy where we just flatly stop trying to negotiate with these boomers. I can see early signs of that in CA, but who knows where it will go. The middling housing legislation that's been passed so far seems like a compromise of a compromise, and won't produce anywhere near the housing we need in the next 10 years... which means I'll be nearing retirement before even considering purchasing a home.
Not to deny that founders are in a privileged position, but they are still beholden to other investors and have clear incentives (and legal obligations) to not screw over current employees.

Even when founders control the board, the company has to sign binding documents with investors that govern what can be done, and the investors have a lot of leverage to ensure that the terms do not allow wiggle room for founders to screw them over.

No major investor is going to agree to anti-dilution terms for founders, and you better believe they are not going to give additional grants to founders for the sake of it.

Founders will definitely cash out some stock if they can, but generally it is a small part of their total holdings at fundraising time (e.g. 5% of their holdings per round) since that is both meaningful downside protection for them and not so much that investors believe the founders are no longer aligned. This is definitely a real benefit, but I don't think most employees would be moved by being able to sell 5%/round.

Either all or a vast majority of founder stock is still common stock alongside employees though, so they're generally fairly aligned with employees IMO.

Which is all to say; I think it is actually pretty tricky for a founder to create an outcome that makes themselves disproportionately rich beyond what the ownership%/strike price combo should imply and I don't think founders can generally turn a given % of a company into meaningfully more money than an employee can if there is any sort of liquidity event.

There are situations (acquihires, recapitalizations, etc) where founders get bigger forward looking grants for themselves than employees, but I think this is less about the stock itself and more about what they can convince investors/acquirers about the forward looking value they provide and are generally all symptomatic of a startup that is failing in some way.
That's fair, as it's your preference. It's my preference too to use steam just because it's where I have the most games and I like keeping things tidy and in 1 place. Though it's not an ideological stance, which "refuse" leads me to believe. I'm genuinely curious about the reason an adult would take that position. Last time I asked (a couple of years ago) on Reddit I didn't get, ummm, mature responses.

If there is a game I'm interested in, I'd use whatever is cheaper/available for it.
I genuinely thought this was satire when I clicked on it. Honestly the -punk genre itself to me doesn't really make any sense. There is little to no real connection between punk genres with the notable exception of Cyberpunk and Biopunk and even those don't necessarily have much in common.

Personally I think it's great to see more american culture in novels but I feel like this is a stretch. It requires too much information for a writer to have knowledge of. There's a lot of faults and issues with modern day writing and the publishing industry as whole. But I just think it's getting ridiculous that we're expecting new and upcoming writers to be able to do all of these things in order to fit into possible niche genres that generate little to no profit. Honestly, a part of me is concerned this is a way for publishing companies to silo young and upcoming ethnic writers. I think it's great that we're trying to be more inclusionary but I don't think this is the way to do it.

Just a note that it seems many people think the main problem isn't the context switch. Rather, Linux by default allocates a very large stack to every thread, and thus many threads lead to high memory usage. Async makes this better.

See e.g. this recent clip from one of the engineers on Project Loom in which they argue that the context switch is relatively low overhead: https://youtu.be/07V08SB1l8c?si=i0v9w90Kb_M0I4gP&t=966
Yeah it’s relevant. It’s just, not how a lot of software is made today. I don’t want my browser or my compiler to remain unchanged. I want it to be evergreen. Stop updating your web browser and in a year or two websites will stop working properly.

As for why don’t the zig developers become official Debian maintainers, gentoo maintainers, redhat maintainers, FreeBSD maintainers, homebrew maintainers and so on - well, probably because they’re too busy making zig. There are way too many unix package managers to support without help. Especially if doing so requires joining mailing lists, manual testing and so on. I wish there was a way to automate making all those packages across different unix distributions, but I can see why that’s a hard problem.

Not sure if this is what he meant but you can call a bank or visit a branch, get a phone number for a specific department and call them directly and get almost VIP levels of helpful service in my experience.

Something that would entail hours of phone support thru official channels cut down to 15 minutes. Once you discover this there's no going back and it all depends on who you ask, and how you ask.
I think you're right. If I'm sitting on the court, I might accept whatever flimsy loophole the Executive Branch provides, and say, "Congress is free to clarify their intentions at any time to resolve this impasse".

Now the ball is in the House's court. Are they going to vote to positively default? (Rather than passively not act before some deadline, like how they do it now?) I bet not.
As we have seen over and over again, the police have no duty to stop a crime in progress. We have seen where police sometimes sit there and wait for backup (ie, SWAT) before running in anyways.
> You've found your mate, so less incentive to go to the gym / stay in shape. You've just had a kid, so less time overall to do so, and (especially!) less sleep in general, which causes all sorts of problems.

I mean if you met your spouse at the gym its probably a reason to keep going. It's a common activity you both enjoyed when single so you still enjoy it as a couple.

Running after kids should keep in you in shape as well. Although I guess you could just watch TV with them all day but that's not dependent on having a kid.
I'm not sure your analogy holds. A specific church and congregation, yes, but western culture has plenty of depictions of generic monks, nuns, and priests in all sorts of comedic/critical contexts, from harmless fun to practicing one or other deadly sin. Good luck suing in a European or American court over 'this makes the clergy look bad.'

I'm not endorsing this images, I see why people find them offensive (and Thailand already has very strict laws about injuring people's dignity, particularly the royal family). I just don't think western countries especially protect the dignity of their own religious institutions.

But they were produced through the democratic process: we have told our elected representatives that we want them to Do Something about things like organized crime and international terrorism, and these laws are part of the Something That Was Done. The laws will not change unless and until we the people change the incentives we give our elected representatives.
>Imagine you inherited a property from your parents, how do you imagine you’d be able to prove the provenance of that asset? Or the cash used to buy it/pay the mortgage on it? You can’t.

Do you have an example of what you mean by this? Like they will say "well you don't have your old paper pay stubs from the 1990s when you were paying the mortgage on your house so we will confiscate your house, go die alone in the gutter"? Because I find that hard to believe. Most people with wealth have an obvious reason for that wealth which is documented in the formal bureaucratic system.
A story

Before I took my current job in 2019, I interviewed at WeWork and apparently I did really well (per the recruiter) as they really liked me technically, except that one person (the guy who went through my resume with me) vetoed me.

Apparently, when he asked me why I left a certain job, I was honest and said, it wasn't the right fit for me enjoyable wise, while I could do the job well, it wasn't what I wanted to do. So he asked, did you follow up with your manager about your issues. I replied honestly, and said that I had a very good relationship with him, and that because of that I didn't know how to tell him I didn't like my job/role so was easier for me to find a role outside the company. I noted that this is something I have to work on. Apparently, the interviewer interpreted what I said as leaving without giving notice (and hence the veto). If he would have asked, he would have found out that after I accepted an outside offer, I gave my manager as much time as he needed from me (was about a month) to transition everything.

I was upset at the time, but pretty soon afterwards I (and the rest of the world) learned what bullet I dodged.
> But any preference for renting here collides with a stark financial reality: National surveys show that in recent decades, Swiss homeowners have been better off, at least in terms of wealth.

This is poor reasoning. Land ownership wealth is ill-gotten zero-sum. More homeownership won't build more wealth, it will just distribute the land rents differently. Taxation can also redistribute land rent, and far more fairly than "mass homeownership" which isn't really a sustainable system anywhere.

> which is advantageous from a tax perspective because mortgage interest is tax deductible.

Not good! Especially given the high VAT.

It sounds like you might enjoy the cold far more than I do.

Back in the Nokia N900 era I had an employment opportunity to hack on Linux stuff with them, but it required relocating from my home (at the time) in Illinois to Finland, which they were willing to facilitate. I was keen on the opportunity, until I looked at weather and income. There are some very good reasons I'm in California today...

But I admit you're not the first person to suggest Scandinavian options in this subject. Readers struggling with these issues who don't mind the weather would probably do well to explore those options further.
This is a little victim blamey. Banks mess up all the time. Regressive policies in capitalist institutions are extremely common. Incompetence is common. Negative action in service of the profit incentive is common.

There's no shortage of people who found their accounts closed for "fraud" who did nothing wrong, but instead were victimized by the algo and the general incompetence of banking tech.

Personal financial experts often tell people to carry a credit card from a bank that isn't yours or have a checking account at a separate bank because this is so common.

Lastly, the people moving money to blacklisted places aren't opening Bank of America checking accounts. There's entire cottage industries and crypto and shady international banks, etc ready to cater to them. They're not getting banned because they use services that don't ban them for moving money around like this. But everyday working class people get banned randomly for moving gifts or tuition money around, etc.
The article could have mentioned the main cause for the recent crazy rise of house prices in Switzerland; the negative interest rate.
Lately the Swiss interest rate has gone up, although not as much as elsewhere, and the effect can already been seen, house prices are dropping.

Shortly after I bought a house I started dating someone younger, about 32, and despite my older age she couldn't believe I'd done it. She said she called me "*** The Homeowner" to her friends. It really brought it home (no pun) to me how far the expectations of younger generations have fallen.

Frankly though, I rented for a long time and if the economics of it would have continued to work out for me, I could have done it for life, in principle.

That's if I thought I could afford to keep doing it rather than get squeezed with accelerating rent increases and decreases in service that have come to define every aspect of our economy over the last 4 years. But things are in a bad spiral.

There are so many things that are called ICE, several of them would make sense in sentence.

I think that what you're imagining is like a driver who can let the car do its thing and just intervene now and then once every fifteen or twenty minutes. I believe that what the article is describing is a guy in front of a bank of monitors watching 15-20 cars and intervening in one or another pretty much constantly for the duration of a work shift.

> As far as the ratio of remote assistance advisors to driverless vehicles on the road, the Cruise spokesperson said, “During driverless operations there was roughly 1 remote assistant agent for every 15-20 driverless AVs.”
Depending on one's technical background or interests, reading about ICE can refer to many things. in my case Internal Combustion Engine and In-Circuit Emulator.
A ton is 1000kg which is approximately 2200lb. Half a ton never seemed much for the pickup trucks of old, but on the other hand, you could overload them by 1.5-2x and still have a bit of suspension travel left for a careful drive home, e.g. when fetching roof shingles. This was when they were cheap utility vehicles of course.
> A thread is the exact concept needed to describe that and preserve “if else then” sequential code.

I suggest looking at C# and Javascript that implement async very, very well.

The difference is that with conventional threading semantics, when you join a thread, it doesn't return a result. You still need to write some kind of "thing" to get your result from the subthread to whatever's waiting on it. (C# also provides a less-well-known BeginInvoke mechanism which is somewhat cleaner than join.)

In contrast, the promise (Javascript) or task (C#) has a result. Instead of joining a thread, the await keyword gets the result, just like calling a method.

> Linux handles thousands of threads just fine.

Yes... And no...

It doesn't matter what OS you're on, each thread needs its own allocated stack space and has the overhead of context switching. "async" optimizes that by putting data that would normally go into many different stack spaces into the heap and jumping around among concurrent operations without the context switch.

Again, depending on what you're doing, that's either splitting hairs, or really making a tangible improvement. But you can't argue that more allocated stacks, and more context switches, is faster than doing it in process. At that point you're arguing with fact.
The correct move here is not to try and plead with the EU or do other things which implicitly recognise their authority to make such regulation. The correct move here is to hold such regulations in contempt and expressly refute any claim the EU makes to regulating web browsers as illegitimate.

I may as well add that web browsers are generally open source software and their source code thus a form of speech. Recent actions by the EU have made it clear they are trying to start to exert control over web browsers, which they presumably see as prime estate for exerting control over the internet. The correct answer to this is to distribute web browsers from jurisdictions with strong freedom of speech (code) protections, remove any assets from the EU which the EU might try to take hostage to extort compliance, and respond to the EU's frequent attempts to assert "if anyone in the EU uses your product, you have to comply with our rules" with "you and what army."
I concur. My mom sometimes talked about how her friends / coworkers just got the latest iPhone and that made her want to get one herself. I guess part of it is just FOMO but there's also something about the brand that drove people to do "unusual" things (like you said, smuggling phones from other countries just to be the first)
> “There are pages and pages of that which the public would not be interested in"

The point is that these documents have interesting content, but it would not sell newspapers so they don't want to invest time working on that... it's nothing related to the publics interest.
> How does a browser enforce CT?

The certificate contains signatures from the CT logs. The browser can either accept those signatures or check the CT log itself. This "enforces" CT for the certificate of the site you're accessing, but not necessarily the CA.
Of course if a certificate comes up that fails CT logging, that can raise scrutiny of the CA.
Most postwar constitutions explicitly allow for transfer of sovereignty to structures necessary to maintain peace among nations. They were originally meant for UN-like organisms and apply equally to the EU.
