No company I've worked for in the past decade has told me what kind of computer I should work on. Even the W2 gigs have allowed me my choice of Mac/Linux/Windows. I work for tech-savvy companies, though. I'm sure there are tech-naive companies that force everyone to work on Mac or whatever.

And companies that want programmers who write, say, Delphi or Visual Basic, are going to be getting crap developers, and would be better off porting their software to something more modern. I did some work on a Delphi project to help out a friend, and no, I wouldn't go to work for a company to work on Delphi full-time. They couldn't possibly pay me enough.

But that's my point: Just like they would get crap developers, I would get crap artists. Or extremely expensive artists. Not interested. It would literally be cheaper to pay Adobe the extortion they ask than to try to work with non-Adobe artists.

> "I verify this is me" button even if they are on the other side of earth, so one fumble with your phone and you grant some random person access to your account, and if these people send you 10 messages a day

This isn't that far outside the norm, and assuming I understand correctly that this verification button is in the email itself, I assume it is itself a verification link.

Still, taken together with everything (especially an undisclosed leak) it's enough that I've deleted my payment methods from Booking.com along with some additional personal info and probably won't be re-storing them short of the kind of retrospective reassurance that most management apparently finds beyond their capability. Without a payment method to abuse or even further data to harvest, it's hard to imagine an attacker having incentive to engage the account.

I feel like there isn't really, not anymore, and most of the semblance of a debate is people reporting on historical debates. Although hard to be sure without, like, a survey.

At least in what I read it seems like the remaining debate is over how literally to interpret the words "many worlds", rather than whether the basic idea is correct. Ideas like entangling with the experiment and the decoherence of quantum states are very well-established.

> You don't have to date them, but you do that by saying "no trans women" in your profile.

That would get your account banned on most dating apps, including the most popular one for "lesbian" dating.

e.g. this article [1] discusses the experience of a lesbian woman who did just that:

> Without the ability to filter out men, who could pick any identity they liked on the app, some female users took it upon themselves to signify that they were only interested in other women by adding it to their bio or including a photo with logos that signified exclusive same-sex attraction.

> These women found themselves quite literally forced off the app.

> Jen, a lesbian user known on Twitter as @cbucksrules, told Reduxx was suspended after adding "no trans women" to her bio on HER because she was exclusively same-sex attracted.

> Jen had joined HER in late 2021 looking for a female partner and assuming a lesbian dating app would be the place to go for such an endeavor. Finding a veritable smorgasbord of 5 o'clock shadows and head tilts, Jen attempted to ensure she would only be contacted by other female users.

> "I [wrote] in my bio what I would not consider the opposite sex as a partner nor a woman who was not a proud woman as we would not be compatible."

> Shortly after, Jen was suspended. She wrote to HER's customer service and asked why, and received a snarky response from an agent named "Devin" berating her for using "hateful language" in her bio, and asserting "trans women are women."

The entire construction industry is basically based around hiring the lowest bidder, especially in public works, and other than giant projects where somehow corruption allows them to collect more than their bid, these jobs basically get performed to a decent standard by the lowest bidder.

I have considered that. I asked my therapist a few times and she says I'm not a narcissist. I'm not sure what the criteria are. I do experience sympathy (or empathy, which ever is the one where I can feel bad for someone without feeling literal pain), and guilt, and compersion and such, but at times I think I'm more Machiavellian than average. I don't want a relationship where I give and give and realize I've accidentally given more than I can emotionally afford. So I'm purposely under-giving for a while.

Close relationships are very hard for me. I can count on one finger the number of close friendships I've had that were not romantic relationships. I can count on two fingers the number of romantic relationships I've had. I'm 35 so I'm not old but not young. It's probably a combo of gifted-kid BS and autism and general being an engineer, plus having a sudden glow-up a few years ago and feeling unlovable and ugly before that.

No one is claiming it, true. They don't understand their claims stem entirely from this position and only make any sort of sense if they claim it. But they don't have the background knowledge to work out the foundations of their statement.

My personal experience and emotional response has no relevance to the neuroscience involved. As for your continued use of "gambling addiction": There is no such thing as gambling addiction medically as I explained. It's a social meme without basis that is overloading the word mostly for profit in non-medical "addiction" treatment centers. This is far more dangerous than the very gambling disorder it hopes to mitigate.

I wonder if Booking is mostly third-party contractors or if they have employees. If the latter, then this is likely known inside, but executives don't care. If the former, it's possible executives don't know or also don't care. In my career, I've seen both scenarios. Given Priceline's size (Bookings' parent), it could be both. Executives want frictionless processes for customers; security is rarely important. The competitor to Priceline/Booking I worked at about a decade ago emailed forgotten passwords to customers, despite getting training at work where the first rule was don't remember passwords, and we couldn't get leadership to get rid of that because it was "convenient."
One shared credit union account, with a checking, savings, and credit card account.

A spreadsheet that tracks periodic expenses - which produce an average monthly bill that we round up and split, each of us has an automated monthly deposit into the checking account, and the credit card automatically pays itself off from the same account. As many utilities as possible are auto paid by the credit card, the rest auto debit from the checking account. We keep about the checking balance at $1000 minimum to get a higher tier interest rate.

Additionally, we both drop $100 from each pay check into the savings account - so when we want to get or do something fun together, we have some extra sitting around.

At the end of every month, I sit down and draw up a little spending report for where our money has gone - and we either pat ourselves on the back, or grimace and resolve to be a little thriftier next month.

I live an hour or so away from the town I went to grad school so I still visit once a month or so. It seems like every time I visit another old building is torn down and another one of these 5 over 1 buildings are going up.

The stores are rarely successful and I'm sure that the companies building all these things just factor in the cost of building these as a cost of doing business in that town.

Most of the kids that rent these "luxury apartments" (which is how they are always described) are from cities with much higher cost of living so they can charge a ton of money and mom and dad will still think it is reasonable. This ends up recreating housing crises of big cities because people that live and work in the town are getting priced out of living there.

Me: Joe drove Sue to university. Afterwords he drove home again and drank a tea with her in the kitchen.

Explain.

ChatGPT: This statement seems to contain an ambiguity regarding Sue's location, suggesting some confusion about the timeline of events. Here are a few possibilities that could clarify the scenario:

1. *Sue Returns with Joe*:
- Joe drove Sue to university.
- Sue either decided not to stay at university or completed what she needed to do quickly.
- Joe drove Sue back home.
- They both drank tea together in the kitchen.

2. *Misstatement or Mistake*:
- The statement might contain a mistake, implying that Joe and Sue met at home later but doesn't clearly explain how Sue got back from the university.
- It could be intended to mean that Joe drove Sue to university and then drove home alone, and Sue somehow returned home later to join Joe for tea.

3. *Joe Visits University*:
- Joe drove Sue to university.
- Joe stayed at the university, possibly waiting for Sue to finish.
- After she was done, they both drove back home together.
- They then drank tea in the kitchen.

Based on the original statement, the first scenario seems most plausible, suggesting Sue quickly returned home with Joe.

Oh I get it! So this is the pattern where just clicking the link on ANY device is treated as email confirmation, rather than ensuring it's the same browser that started the request (difficult when people may be checking their email on their phone while signing in on their laptop).

Not really. Electrons are as far as we know not composed of smaller particles, and there's good reason to think they are elementary. Basically because smashing them with things reveals no smaller structure. Whereas when you smash things into a proton it is very clear that there are smaller localized objects inside it (there is a great blog post with pictures of what a proton looks like at different energies that I can't seem to find now...)
I liked to joke about my dog going through all five stages whenever I left the apartment:

1. Denial - she would run out of the apartment with me and try to follow me, because Papa would NEVER leave without her.

2. Anger - once herded back into the apartment she would bark loudly, indicating her frustration with me leaving.

3. Bargaining - the barks would become yips, begging for me to come back

4. Depression - the yips would become long, morose whimpers

5. Acceptance - she would go back and sit with my wife on the couch, adjusting at last to my absence. Of course I would only be gone for 15 minutes or so, and she would leap up on me and maul me when I got back like I was returning from a tour of duty in Afghanistan

But in reality, I knew the five stages were something somebody made up, kinda like Myers-Briggs. I used to bristle whenever someone lectured me about them. In myself and in others, I could see that it's far, far more complicated than that.
That looks more like it's trying to do some sort of fancy software-controlled "breadboard" with internal routing. Neat concept, but it's going to be fairly expensive and fragile. I'm also concerned by the lack of discussion of parasitics.

One of the things you see people complaining about in cities like Seattle or SF is higher commercial rent prices pushing out all the "cool" but not particularly profitable businesses.

And how do you get lower business rents? There's a thing called supply-and-demand that might be helpful here.
I think this works fantastic in Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle. The ground floor is filled with restaurants, cafes, bars, retailers that define the neighborhood as a cool part of town. There is enough public transportation, grocery stores, and other amenities that it creates a walkable community (a rarity in North America).

The area has downsides, but it is doing well economically.
The US literally has troops 6 miles off the coast of China and they haven’t reacted beyond some complaining in press releases. China won’t be fighting either the US or Taiwan anytime soon

I think, probably unintentionally, you've misjudged or ignored the tone your message is likely to be read as having.

To me, your comment comes across as having a rude and insulting tone.

I think the person you were replying to read it in a similar tone to me based on their response. ("No need to be patronizing.")

Is that the tone you intended?

A better way of handling it may have been with a simple, "What does TEE mean in this context please? Googling it didn't help me."

I'm asking the question rather than assuming it was intentional, as you put more effort into your comment than is necessary to just be rude.

It feels like you may have been trying to be helpful and just misjudged the tone. Maybe as a fellow neurodivergent person.
I believe that even Hacker News faces this issue. While some bots might be detected, delving deeper reveals that it's impossible to identify all of them. This challenge is exacerbated by the sophisticated techniques used by bot developers to mimic human behavior, making detection increasingly difficult.

> It’s also because their rise has been so sudden, an outcome of changing codes, improved economic fortunes, and pent-up demand in the wake of the Great Recession more than a decade ago. And it is true they sometimes tend toward being architecturally bland or downright ugly.

They have so many other advantages that they don't need to be attractive, and developers hate to pay for anything they don't need.

Also, this moment where they're breaking out and popping up like weeds to fill pent-up demand is an awkward moment, design-wise, because you need a lot of new designs quickly without a long history to look back on and draw from. Compare that to high-rise office buildings or single family homes, where you have a century and more of variations in countless different styles, where you have not only countless iconic examples but decades' worth of reaction to many of them. Some of the 5-over-1 buildings going up now will turn out to be iconic, style-defining precedents. Most will be trash, but will still serve the functional purpose.

Personally, I love seeing these go up near me. It means more housing supply and more businesses near me that cater to foot traffic, in the same package.

Japan isn't an example of a possible future, because Japan is still in its glory days as far as population goes. Here [1] is their population pyramid. You might notice it still looks kind of vaguely pyramidish. In about 30 years Japan will hit the full-on inverted pyramid, which is when their collapse will "really" begin. And this makes perfect sense. They only started having very poor fertility rates in the 80s. [2] And you only really start feeling demographic collapse once the first generation with poor fertility starts dying. So about 80 years after the 80s - ~2060, or ~30 years from now.

I can explain the math, but the result is pretty simple. If we imagine an equilibrium point where everybody has the same fertility rate (the typical case being when the final healthy fertility rate generation dies off - just leaving offspring upon offspring of comparably low fertility rate generations), then at the point your population will start changing by a factor of ~fertility_rate/2 every 20 years. So for Japan, with a current fertility rate of ~1.4, they'll be losing 30% of their population every 20 years, for an annual decline of around 1.5%.

Right now they're only losing about 0.5% per year. So they're still in their glory days relative to what's to come starting around 2060. And that future which they're headed towards is the one most Western economies are also headed towards if we don't fix this problem.
