Anecdotally, my apartment building has 0% vacancy rate.
And a newer building across the street has at least 10 apartments vacant for the most of the year.

Anecdotally, i know quite a few boomers that own multiple properties (>3) in manhattan, some of which they rent some of which they keep vacant for when they want to come to the city
I feel like at least some % of apartments in the city are visibly vacant most of the time because they are just part time homes for the wealthy.

It's really bizarre isn't it?

Every single time I've been put under, I have absolutely zero memory of the event. When I wake up, I cry for about 30 seconds for absolutely no reason, then puke or dry heave. I'm not a cryer, which is so odd to me. I don't put much stake in it, just another oddity.
I agree. It's a far cry from the greats' HTML 2 comparability.
I will change to that premise of personal information, is such a higher theme.

you a have a good ideia/approach to the security part?
I've used to use an app (there are many) which measures angular velocity using accelerometer and displays RPM (you place the phone on the turntable). I can't see why would anyone need something other than that.
I'm on a similar path, and still haven't figured it out. My main recommendation would be to increase the time you spend on hobbies, travelling, volunteering, etc. Use the next few years to figure out what you enjoy, and what you are retiring to. Slowly let it expand to fill your available time.

And if you decide not to stop working, there is something truly freeing about knowing that you don't need the job. In some cases I'd argue that it actually makes you a better employee (since you aren't willing to put up with bs, play politics, etc).

Conceptually, grokking reminds me of the concept presented in the book The Dip

Most people, for most tasks, will only learn/train/try to improve, up to where they get to a flat or negative return curve per unit of effort put in

But, the people that are the best at a certain task, usually implies they got through The Dip in the curve of return per effort
Awesome - really appreciate the full response
Box if you are overwriting the next char, vertical bar if you are inserting. Dunno whenever you would use underline (I guess if it doesn't work with box for some reason)?

Thats the standard, anyway, so if you don't follow that, you are confusing your users.
> After it popped, housing prices started plummeting.

Prices haven't plummeted in China. Sales volume has seized since the red families control the real estate agencies. They have added more incentives, like easier access to hukou, and have eliminated limits on how many homes you can buy.
You could, but it's much less useful and much more expensive than many laptops. So I'm not sure why you would want to. Even in the Apple ecosystem, a Macbook or Macbook Air would make far more sense.
I was and am, too. I've always assumed, very cynically, bans on recording medical practitioners come from attorneys' and insurers' concern about hard evidence of malpractice ending up "on the record".
Won’t someone think of the tech CEOs
I’d love to help universal basic education become true.

There are some people who are extremely qualified and specialized in their fields, but many more would really benefit from additional formal education. Even tech literacy is taken for granted sometimes, even though it shouldn’t. It’s the kind of thing that makes an actual difference in the lives of people.
F-Droid still has some big tasks in order to be useable for the general public, when comparing it with e.g. Google Play Store.

For example, if you search it for "browser", Firefox will not show up because

A) It's called Fennec

B) The F-Droid search seems to be exact infix search, and Fennec's title is "Fennec F-Droid -- Browse the web", in which "Browser" does not appear, only "browse". So it doesn't find it.

In general, the search has no clue what a "browser" is, and cannot use it for ranking, so in practice you need to scroll a lot in F-Droid until you find what you seek.

What about this website indicates low quality engineering?
Close by. I was in Nantes university (UFR) in 2009, failed to get my math bachelor degree in 2012 and took a gap year (i absolutely couldn't stand uni life anymore) where i lived between NDDL and youth camps as a counselor (also was part of "Les petits débrouillards" to teach kids science through experiments, but my expenses were barely covered to be totally honest, so i don't know if i could count this as a job).
See Selection bias https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias
T&S departments generally exist for one reason: to manage reputational risk. This sometimes involves legal risk, but it usually just means preventing relentless hit pieces about your company enabling something portrayed as horrible. This can result in customers and even employees leaving if the media is relentless enough.

Companies take risks if the reward is considered good enough. In this case, that reward is income from the customer (who can still be dropped if the hit pieces start getting published).
Unfortunately the audience matters. In the internet of platforms indie websites are visited by those who already have good awareness of the cause. The hope is to reach people who watch entertainment content and the bet is that getting YouTube banned will attract some attention to the forbidden content.

To me it’s similar to the whole “SSO wall of shame” thing, where a vital feature is locked behind more expensive pricing. As said in the article:

“We tried saying that we don't need any number of the 14 features that are included”

Which, to me, is the crux of the issue. Is it fair for Cloudflare to say “You are breaking the terms of service if you do not change your set up in this specific way, and also the way you need to chance your setup is locked behind a significantly more expensive pricing.” Being able to bring your own IP does not, to me, seem like something that should require a plan that is orders of magnitude more expensive than the standard. It seems much more to me like something that is more fundamental, and should be included as an option in a lesser version of the product Maybe I’m wrong, and there is actually significant overhead to Cloudflare for letting customers bring an IP. But as is, it feels very much to me like a situation where something vital was locked at the most expensive tier to force certain kinds of customer to pay more.

Mostly just do whatever I find fun. Maybe contribute to the communities of those hobbies a bit while I still enjoy them. Thinking I'd do anything grander than that would be lying to myself.
I would love to do research in Foundation Models and Philosophy of Mind.
Are you not a practitioner if you contribute to the field...? Seems impossible to meet your criteria.

What's a pure philosopher? Are Frege and Decartes not philosophers because they also did math? Does Alan Turing count? What about Popper and Kuhn? Are they philosophy enough for the philosopher club? Where, when, how and by whom do you think the concept of 'empirical science' was derived?

To be clear, everyone, including scientists, do philosophy every single day. You don't think Darwin did some philosophy in on the origin of species?
Neither NP or NP∩coNP, are contained in BQP, for those that want a complexity theory version of the above.

BQP: Bounded-Error Quantum Polynomial-Time, bounded by a max error of 1:3

BQP is the complexity class thought to contain problems with practical solutions for quantum computers.

IIRC the main limit being the transition amplitudes are subject to the Church–Turing thesis and must be computable functions.

Hopefully useful buzzwords for those who want to dig deeper.
> the thing that used to primarily fill this hole was religion, and thats the hole people are trying to stuff

Calling it "a hole" even, is stretching the metaphor too far. People have needs, and religion has often been used to fill that need, as has nationalism, and occupations, and any other thing. But there isn't a single "hole", and that hole doesn't have a "shape". There's just people who have needs, and ways people have tried to fulfill those needs.
I think the answer to your first point is easily explained by the fact that the major news orgs typically have paywalls that check the user's IP, cookies, and so forth to decide whether they're allowed to see the full article for free or if they have to pony up first. There's no way to really incorporate that functionality into RSS feeds so they're just pushing out the bare minimum as a Hail Mary to drive their dwindling RSS user base back to the website. Smaller personal blogs that don't rely on advertising or paid membership revenue to stay afloat are far more likely to provide full article content on their RSS feeds (since there's no reason not to).

Some feed readers have "scraping" support where they request each article's URL internally and figure out how (or can be configured with CSS selectors) to extract the article's text content and display it in the reader, though it can be pretty hit or miss whether that can work for a given site.

As for formatting, there are a couple possible explanations--the reader could be ignoring or mangling HTML tags in the content when it's displaying it, or the site itself may be generating its RSS feeds with mangled or missing formatting elements. In my experience both possibilities are equally likely.

> The urge to measure everything by income leads to absurd results

If you believe housing is for people to live while doing the work they can get at the salaries those jobs are willing to pay them, then it is absurd not to consider income in housing affordability.
I will use caffeine when I need it for a few days and then cut all consumption. I find that it helps me focus and causes a slight euphoric effect when taken in moderation. If I take it for long periods of time, I end up getting major anxiety.

I didn't realize until I was much older. In high school, I would drink 2-liters of Mountain Dew/day and had major anxiety issues.
But if you open the linked page, it has bunch of projects that aren't app distribution - /e/OS, some 5G edge VPN thing, etc.
It was such a small study that it favorably attracted outsiders that finally got a chance at owning, which gentrified the community. If this was more of a global policy, the study would have reveal massively different results.
Correct. Just like any leveraged investment, you realize the gains (or losses) after you sell.

(And yes you are also correct it's possible to realize the gains without selling by taking a reverse mortgage.)
Given that the industry is trying to retire USB-A for good, this doesn't seem likely.
Archlinux.

It tries to track mainline as close as possible, as a result it has minimal patches to software. Very vanilla. It can be as light weight or as heavy as you want.

Most important to me is that it's rolling release so you never have to do a major upgrade. I prefer to handle software changes one at a time instead of in big batches.

My laptop installation is from 2015, I've used brtfs send to migrate it to new hardware three times now. I have servers that have been installed for longer. Yeah it's a slightly more involved installation process, but you really only have to do it once.
That's the thing. First principles thinking would say to look at that 200Mb/s and figure out what you can lose, before compressing.
Umm, no, scratches meet the needle once per revolution, regardless of the needle's position. So that would definitely be a possible method. But not all records have scratches, or they could be at an angle, which would give the wrong estimate. Also, actual sounds on the record could have scratch-like qualities.

I particularly like how in Acme, when selection is zero-width ("empty"), it is the cursor. Conversely selection can be extended from cursor in any direction.

Yep. I'd cut computer technology out of my life as much as I could.
Altman's got his signature on docs he claims to know nothing about. How it is a "smear campaign" to report that?
You can extract pitch information and compare it to a set of quantized reference pitches as an instrument tuning app does, sure.

But you can also extract BPM info and compare that to a set of quantized reference BPMs that anyone would ever bother to use.

And also, since you’re getting multiple pitches from multiple instruments in a time series, if you can isolate particular instruments, you can calculate the key the melody and/or harmony of the song is in.

Then, you could either come up with a heuristic, or just train a Bayesian filter, using datasets of “real” and “erroneous” (key, BPM) pairs.
I suggest thinking about this chart more.

You might find there are _far_ more interesting insights to be mined.

For example, here are 2 very interesting stories:

- Look at Lisp! Invented so long ago and used by so many language makers. That is a very strong signal!

- Look at the progression from TeX to HTML to Markdown for sharing information. Remember, HTML was originally developed at CERN. This shows the importance of simplicity and ergonomics!

There are dozens of these _very_ impactful and meaningful insights in this chart.
> To authenticate is to prove who you are. To authorize is to grant access.

We should be screaming this type of thing from the rooftops. I struggled so much with the difference until someone said something to this effect. AuthN = who you are, AuthZ = what can you do. People seem to get confused because certain classes of individuals have certain rights and think it's the "who" that's important and not the role
Something like a drive between Denver to Kansas City is utter torture for me because it's nearly void of any mental stimulus, doesn't matter that I can cruise along at a high speed in a straight line the entire time, I'm worried about myself or other drivers around me falling asleep at the wheel midway through the utter nothingness that is Kansas. Give me cities and terrain to navigate so that I'm doing something with my body while just sitting there for hours and hours and hours on end.
> "We want to make sure you understand that if you don't sign, it could impact your equity," one rep told an outgoing employee, according to Vox.

The article is doing a lot of click-bait stuff here. The quote, without the source, is shown at the top of the article, near Sam Altman's face and a title referencing Sam Altman. However, the quote is not from Sam Altman, which makes its placement a bit disingenuous.

I am not invested in defending Altman, but this type of journalism is trash clickbait and a far bigger issue than a tech company threatening employees' vested equity unless they comply in some sort of non-NDA NDA scheme.
Nobody is talking about building a single multidwelling building. But you can't make rules just for a single building (what are you going to do for the next building... And the next). There are plenty of examples where local governments have removed lots of restrictions and essentially created Airbnb wastelands, a good example is the southbank in Melbourne. The last time I looked into it (admittedly some years ago), they had a single primary school and one post office for ~50000 people IIRC. It was definitely high density housing, but no infrastructure that makes it liveable except for running Airbnb and rich people who want a holiday apartment close to the casino.

I fully support the values being expressed put the ratio of talk to action on the website is not great.

It looks like a website from 2007 for a custom fork of a Ubuntu distribution.

Again, I think the initiative, the funding, the rollout of technologies is the important thing and I'm perfectly fine with there being an aspect of public communication that gives it the kind of visibility that bureaucrats need so that it matches their own personal mental model of what a project is. So I at the end of the day those things, rather than the website, are what's important, but I could have hoped for a better first impression for sure.
I'm more worried about future shakeouts and the end of anonymity, one ASN at a time.

We're currently relying on AS' who 'play ball' with anonymous users, but that's not a requirement for AS operators by any means.
It probably doesn't need to do an FFT, it just need to be able to count beats and have a database of BPM values for popular songs. You could use something like AcoustID/Chromaprint to identify the song you're playing.

A very simple idea, as all the best ideas are.
But this is where it gets messy. Interest rates as they are now are already considered 'too high' by the WS crowd ( I have my own opinion, but it is just that -- an opinion ) and any indication that FED will lower rates is met with glee. There is, naturally, a solid reason for it. High rates will slow down the reckless flow funds sloshing around the economy ( and would help with the ridiculous prices ). However, this would come at a cost that no one wants to pay. I am not even talking about the political cost. No one wants to think of paying that high a price for serving US debt. I mean, I hold negligible amount of US bonds and I don't want to pay that..

But then US wants to 'invest' in current wars.. sorry, national security ... and money has to come from somewhere.

I feel like I should explictly state this is not an attempt at derailing this thread.. politics and rates are part of the reason we are in this mess. I agree that 20% rate would clean it all up really quick

Chinese municipal governments are funded through the tax assessed on the sale of the home and not through a continuous property tax - or at least that used to be the case, haven't checked in a while. That resulted in municipalities encouraging higher prices for housing.

quick addition: there are modules (eg cloudknot) for Python that make it possible to run a Python callable that launches an AWS Batch environment and job with a single method, which you could do anywhere that runs Python.
Strongly recommend updating your website to lead with some variation of "This is an offline iPhone app to help you calibrate your turntable's speed, all you need to do is play your records and the app will show you the current RPM" — wayyyyyyy too many words and other nonsense before I could figure out this is what it did.

Embed the demo video (the tweet you linked) too!

Looks great and if I still used records I would try it out! Congratulations on the launch.

EDIT: keep the rest of the writing if you'd like, I have no objection to it and I thought it was funny. But lead with what the app is and what it does!

I am not a Trump supporter but the headline is completely incorrect and disingenuous. It seems like there's a game of telephone happening for the quote "you're not going to be able to sell those cars", but the context of him saying this was for an import tariff on electric cars built in Mexico by Chinese companies.
