San Francisco has some amusing areas as well. If you look around the streets near Buena Vista park or even Twin Peaks, you'll see plenty of funky curves, six way "intersections" and so on. Lots of two-ways that are only lane wide.

Like the older parts of Boston and Cambridge, it's a holdover from the days of horses and the geography. That's where the paths were, people built houses, and now you've got to deal with it :).
This is absolutely not a myth. I have been personally directed by recruiters to discriminate on the he basis of race and gender. And two of the three companies I've worked at set explicit quotas on the basis of gender.

While there are companies where DEI isn't a dog whistle for racial and gender discrimination, they're the minority in my experience.

This is a pretty good idea, but does have an issue with shared passwords.

In most attacks, the data on that site is compromised and changing your password afterwards just prevents further exploitation by others.

What some password manager do is monitor for shared passwords (i.e. using the same password on Site A and Site B). This prevents attackers from cracking the password hash offline and trying the username/email and password in a bunch of different sites.

I'm not sure you need a warrant? The "Third Party" doctrine in the USA still hasn't been totally over-ruled, and therefore any information you give to third parties is considered fair game via subpoena, which is vastly lower standard than a warrant.

I more or less quadrupled my income a few years ago, and as someone who loves to travel, this has opened a lot of doors in terms of travel. I can travel to more places, for longer, not to mention doing so more comfortably/luxuriously. If before I could comfortably afford one international vacation a year, I can afford several.

Obviously I’m not aware of what you or your brother in law make, but I’d imagine you’d easily be able to replicate his Greek vacation if you’re making double what he is.

On a more general non-travel note, I feel after you exceed a certain threshold of income in the US, you can just bulldoze your way into matching or exceeding most of the European social benefits including healthcare. Definitely possible if you’re making FAANG or near-FAANG level.

On the subject of SWE comp, an Italian SWE colleague half jokingly told me he’d make more as a gondolier in Venice than in a typical Italian SWE job. Curious if that’s really true.

Ayn Rand also didn't know the girl personally.

Basically, a relative that she didn't know wrote to her knowing she had money, and she said, sure, but since you aren't exactly close family, I'll put some conditions on it.

This very week I had major issues with both: on my roommate's W11 laptop all her pictures were deleted after I removed them from her OneDrive because she had gotten a warning that her OD was nearly full (so stupid, why try to sync files from a 1TB SSD to a 5GB OD? It's batshit).

The next day I installed OpenSUSE on my PC and couldn't connect to the internet. Eventually I found out that the problem is that the rndis module is blacklisted and AOSP can't use CDC ethernet*, and I can only connect to my internet by using USB tethering with my smartphone.

>So, what happens to someone who had a valid immigration status, but was not a lawful permanent resident? For example, someone on a student or a tourist visa?

I brought my wife over on the 90 day fiancee visa well before there was a TV show about it, and mostly because it was the only way we could hang out. Thankfully we lucked out, and celebrated our 20th anniversary earlier this year.

But to the point: When you're dealing with DHS and immigration, it's made absolutely clear that if you screw anything up, you're kicked out of the country and it's going to be a ballache to get back in. It's not surprising that they were not included in the blanket pardon, and I think that's actually pretty reasonable, even though I also think that incarceration over marijuana possession is absurd and has been pretty devastating to the lives of millions of people and the communities they live in.

The amount of work you have to do to qualify for a visa, and to move between the different statuses (there are fun periods where your status is just... pending. When we went through this, there was nothing you have to show for this except for a generic looking letter from DHS. All your fancy documentation is sitting in a US Gov't inbox somewhere while they make sure you're not a terrorist) and, frankly, if you manage to get arrested for smoking weed while you're on a visa, you're kind of an idiot.

We didn't even travel outside the country until my wife got her full-fledged citizenship. And when she applied for that, they gave her a hard time over the speeding tickets she'd gotten while here.

Whether you agree with the concept or not, visitors to the country are told pretty clearly that the rules apply extra hard to them, and the consequences of not following very basic rules are going to be extra inconvenient. You get caught breaking the law, you risk losing your visa status and losing the ability to ever visit the country again.
you're certainly free to make that claim but that doesn't make it true.
To elaborate on this slightly, when I eventually burnt out from just grinding frontend and working a stressful frontend job, I spoke to someone much more experienced than me in medicine who suggested that basically anything can be interesting if you keep going deeper.

> EBV is very detectable when it reactivates.

Yes, but to do this, first:

- find a doctor that “believes” post EBV infection problems are even real

- wait 2-5 weeks for appointment and prescription for blood work

- get laughed at when it shows Undetected again

- prepare for next bout of illness some weeks or months later

This is the failure mode for many EBV patients, especially those dealing with other opportunistic infections at the same time.

Could be; I believe they believe their recommendations are just good enough to get you (or at least their modal user) to watch the ads for which they get paid the most, and if they made more accurate recommendations they'd have to serve ads that didn't pay as well.

Maybe that's too cynical, and accurate recommendations are difficult. I've observed I can do much better by searching for content on my own, so I do.

RNNs and LSTMs from the past did this as well (but cannot be trained in parallel as each token has to be compressed sequentially). Transformers ate their cake.

The thing is, we need to kill bacterias in many other places than the human body:

- medical equipment: handles for scalpels, syringes, operation tables... All those things we need to clean again and again.

- passage ways: doors, handles, stairs handrails, subway grab bars... All the things that propagate infections in very dense populated areas.

- research fabs: hazmat suits, protection googles, fum hood protections,... All the stuff you want to make sure don't end up cross contaminate your batch or escape.

So it's still very useful.

In my opinion the lack of understanding of transactional consistency & isolation models... as well as the lack of understanding of the virtues of the relational model... are why microservices have become such a plague and why many applications are burdened with extremely high (non-intrinsic) complexity.

And I think that can be tied back to people not taking reasonable DB courses in school, or having that emphasized in their careers.

The former causing people to not be properly concerned with data consistency (and doing stupid things like service-level joins). I've seen outright data races, consistency issues, odd behaviors... from systems backed by an RDBMS... because the devs just don't get or care about databases.

The latter with why OOMs and "DAOs" and "transfer objects" and treating the DB as a "persistence" layer have become the default in how things are built. Many people resolve the famous "object relational impedance mismatch" by just completely abusing the database, and not thinking in a relational fashion when modeling their application and schema.

I started my career with this mentality, because OOP was the rage, but came around to a POV where I learned to love the relational data model, and to start from modeling the data as the foundation. (when I still worked on data driven apps, I'm in embedded now). The classic "Out of the Tarpit" paper is relevant here.

I try to look at this pardon as a quick, easy, and obvious way he can use his limited power to improve people's lives.

Getting the DEA to reschedule it would involve more time and more influence than direct power.

That said, I think he should do both, AND that issuing this pardon may double as a good way of influencing the DEA.

I think this sums it up well. People mostly don't know or care about how hedonic regression is used in CPI (myself included, on knowing). I don't think the process is easy to understand nor transparent (although I may be wrong here).

But BLS denies this assessment (and it's not 100% related to the article posted, but closely related to your comment I think):

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/common-misconceptions-abo...

> When the cost of food rises, does the CPI assume that consumers switch to less desired foods, such as substituting hamburger for steak?

> No. ...

> Is the use of "hedonic quality adjustment" in the CPI simply a way of lowering the inflation rate?

> No. ...

Obviously, they provide their own explanations, but I'm not going to paste the whole thing. This is definitely something I'd like to understand better though. Especially every time I complain about how Chewy Chips Ahoy or some other product I enjoyed in my childhood is absolute garbage now, and I don't buy the explanation that I simply had bad taste as a kid.

They also host this Quality Adjustment page to say which types of products do or don't have such adjustments: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/quality-adjustment/home.htm. So maybe this is transparency. I think it would take me 2+ hours on a weekend to really research this to understand it myself.

> places that used to have a competitive grocery environment

This is what I’m seeing, anecdotally. In towns with more than one non-affiliated grocer, prices are cheap. In towns with consolidated groceries, prices are higher. Enough that the “savvy” shoppers, i.e. those with a car and time and liquidity to enable bulk buying, drive to the next town over.
Without NAT, you can do hole punching. A third server can coordinate two peers sending packets to each other to make their firewalls each see the connection as outgoing and allow traffic. With NAT, the peers don't know which port they're sending on, so they can't relay that info through the third party (though maybe you could have one port scan the other).

Also, an application can use upnp to configure your router/firewall to allow traffic. You could do that with NAT too I suppose if ISPs allowed that, but you'd be contending with other users if you wanted a specific port like 80.

Thinking about where ideas come from is valuable.

This thing that I'm intuiting, but don't have a firm logical path to prove or explain:

- Is it actually grounded in subconscious observations of real things, and things that I'm learning but cannot yet articulate?

- Or is it just something that I made up and I'm pursuing uncritically?

Being able to tell the difference more of the time saves a lot of effort.

We're largely not using resistors now, we're using oil and gas. Heat pumps use less than resistors but not less electricity than burning hydrocarbons on site.

Buffering systems can be effective for intra-day load shifting. You want to use electricity at noon and have heat at night. It doesn't work when you want to use electricity on Monday to have heat on Friday (tank would have to be too big and losses are too high) and it definitely doesn't work when you need heat on Monday but won't have the generation capacity until Friday.

The whole point of the RDBMS revolution in the 70s and 80s was to try to bring about a world where developers did not have to care about how their data was stored, and could rely on consistency (and data representational independence)

The way this should all have gone down is that the caching story should have been something that DB vendors resolved, rather than something pushed into the application tier. But the push towards three tier architectures, and OOP and ORMs, meant this wasn't feasible.

What would be ideal is a single consistent data retrieval model, which extends from the physical retrieval of relations, all the way up to the presentation layer, all one transaction, and handles caching for you. There is already caching happening within the DBMS, for example...

Operating systems notwithstanding, there should definitely be such option for every OS widget, that displays text (including Android TextView). And it should default to disabling all BiDi backdoors unless developer explicitly vetted specific text span to enable them.

Making entire text rendering stack vulnerable by default under pretext of catering to less than 1% of world population is ridiculous.
Justinian's reign also includes the "worst year in human history"[1]: 536 AD the year without a summer due to a volcanic eruption leading to widespread famine. It was quickly followed by the Plague of Justinian (542) wiping out nearly 50% of the population of the ERE.
