I live in SF. We just had an accident the other day that indisputably can be pinned on jaywalking--late at night, cross where there was an actual fence, and the car hadn't been speeding. In fact, the limit is 25 there. Jaywalking figures prominently in pedestrian deaths in this city, and it's not simply because of speeding as there simply aren't that many streets where you can go that fast, and in fact in some of the worst areas (e.g. Tenderloin) you'll find the slowest speeds. Pedestrian deaths are also often elderly, as younger victims would have been more likely to survive at the speeds they were hit.

Another major issue in this city, though, is visibility, what with all the tightly packed parallel parking, and streets (especially in the western half) just the perfectly wrong width for modern car A pillars. I would fully support shutting down dozens of streets that criss-cross the city to through traffic and dedicate them to biking and pedestrians. The bike lanes here (where people end up dying, regardless) piss me off to no end as much of time the city could have just given an entire street over to bikes a block away, rather than some of the most trafficked (by cars) thoroughfares, and everybody would be better off.

But another odd thing about SF is that pedestrians simply don't look. In every other major city I've lived or visited, in the US and around the world, the vast majority of pedestrians look before crossing a street. I've lived in SF for nearly 20 years and I can't get over how people just cross the streets--wide streets, busy streets, blind corners, etc--without a care in the world. It doesn't make it any less tragic, but... it's just so fscking bizarre. And I don't mean to excuse their deaths. Cars should be more careful, and they're definitely not--I'm wary of letting my children cross streets alone here, and I get honked regularly for not gunning it the moment a pedestrian crosses the center line when crossing. At the same time I find it very difficult to get too worked up when people blithely step in front of dump trucks (accident two weeks ago where even the city said there was absolutely nothing the city could have done to improve that intersection--the person just walked in front of the truck against every precaution).

If you save $2.5k/mo for 15 years, after 14 years (mid-30s), you’d have $800k at 8% interest.

Even in Seattle, $800k would get you a decent starter home.

(I chose $2.5k, bc 15 years ago out of college, that’s how much I saved living in GA on a $70k salary). I saved even more when I move to California in my mid 20s.
"The main thing for journalists is to strictly separate" a journalists personal opinion and political leanings from the news they are reporting. That is possible but it takes a strong editor to say no, you're trying to push your own personal opinion of the facts based on your political beliefs, when it should be up to the reader to decide that.
Same here. Judging from other answers, I wonder if it is because we are not dropping them into hot oil?
It’s better for cash cow companies to acquire startups with PMF and real revenues. Let the market experiment and then pay for the successes. Investors and founders win, the company doesn’t waste it pretending to be a startup. Any other cash should be returned in dividends or buy backs.

There is a question of critical mass that you see in cities that are built around the concept of pedestrians first. Cars go slower, give right of way to pedestrians and generally don't drive as aggressively as we see in most North American cities.

In Europe you see plenty of places that are pedestrian first and the car drivers are expected to act differently as a result. Something similar happens in Amsterdam where it is a cyclist first city. Cyclists expect right of way and cars are few and far between.

So long as you go about thinking of this in terms of car first as a de facto part of life you won't understand how good it could be with less cars.

Only 7.9 percent of all of their sales is outside of China. They can generate fancy numbers galore on domestic soil where they have both production subsidies as well as government aid for buying said vehicles, but it's very unclear how they're going to fare outside of China.
There seems to be an analogy to servers being capable enough for usual demand(income>spending), but fails due to some downtime for some servers(out of a job) or peak loads(medical emergency). This can be amortized by having data centers serving multiple apps(social security, insurance - but they dont always exist).

One main fault in the analogy is that in an economic crisis, there is a vicious cycle of income loss which leads to lower demand leading to more lost jobs. This coordination failure can be handled by fiscal/monetary policy. Whereas server failure, even when widespread due to a virus doesn't happen recursively like that.
> First, let's not forget that jaywalking is one of those "crimes" that is used as a pretense by police to harass people, usually young people and people of color.

"Walking while black"

Recently saw a courtroom video where a black man was being charged with marijuana possession. The reason for the initial stop was jaywalking, but the cop didn't even ticket him for the jaywalking, just used it as a justification for performing a search.

Judge threw the case out. Scolded the cop for clearly just wanting a reason to search a black man, evidenced by the lack of a ticket for the jaywalking.

And of course, it's just wild to me that in some states, you can get thrown in jail for YEARS for simple possession of a single nugget of marijuana, while in Oregon, my grocery store receipts literally have ads for marijuana dispensaries on the back.
Power consumption varies significantly based on what's being displayed, on top of brightness settings.

I have a 42" 4k LG OLED. With a pure black background and just a taskbar visible (5% of screen), the TV draws ~40W because OLED pixels use no power when displaying black.

Opening Chrome to Google's homepage in light mode pulls ~150W since each pixel's RGB components need power to produce white across most of the screen.

Video content causes continuous power fluctuation as each frame is rendered. Dark frames use less power (more pixels off/dim), bright frames use more (more pixels on/bright).

Modern OLEDs use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for brightness control - pixels switch rapidly between fully on and off states. Lower brightness means pixels spend more time in their off state during each cycle.

The QN800A's local dimming helps reduce power in dark scenes by dimming zones of the LED backlight array, though power consumption still varies significantly with content brightness. It's similar to OLED but the backlight zones are not specific to each pixel.

Dark mode UIs and lower brightness settings will reduce power draw on both QLED and OLED displays.

Traditional LCDs without local dimming work quite differently - their constant backlight means only brightness settings affect power, not the content being displayed.

This explains those power fluctuations in the QN800A measurements. Peak power (429W) likely occurs during bright, high-contrast scenes - think NFL games during a sunny day game, or HDR content with bright highlights. For gaming, power draw is largely influenced by the content being displayed - so a game like Factorio, with its darker UI and industrial scenes, would typically draw less power than games with bright, sunny environments.
> it strikes me that more big companies would rather have a one-stop shop full of 80% solutions than pay for 100 different SaaS.

Strongly agree (unfortunately I might add, because I'm not a fan of "the big just keep getting bigger). When it comes to data management, tons of companies are really concerned about access controls, policies and DLP (data loss prevention). In my experience setting up these policies and rules correctly, and appropriately monitoring them, is very difficult and easy to get wrong (many data breaches are a consequence of this). This is especially common when you need to bidirectionally share content with third parties, you may want to give some of those parties access control rights on some data buckets, etc.

I was at a previous company where we were essentially all on Google Workspace. Google Drive's access controls for sharing with third parties used to really suck, though they've improved in recent years. We had teams that wanted to use Dropbox enterprise because their third party sharing features were much, much better. The problem is that I spent a ton of time learning all of the access control and management policies in Google Drive (which aren't great, mind you), and then I needed to spend another large amount of time learning an entirely different interface and set of rules for Dropbox. I almost had a breach because a checkbox buried down somewhere was checked incorrectly. Also, adding Dropbox meant I had a host of additional SOC 2 compliance checks that I needed to validate.

Meanwhile, sharing features in Google Drive (of Google Workspace) have largely gotten "good enough", as of the past couple years.
If you are at a crosswalk and there is no car in sight, it's dumb to wait for the proper light.
I've found compile times on large C++ code bases to be the only thing I really notice improving. I recently upgraded my work machine from a 2017 i7 to a shiny new Ryzen 9 9950x and my clean compile times went from 3.5 minutes to 15 seconds haha. When I compile with an M2 Max, it's about 30s, so decent for a laptop, but also it was 2x the price of my new desktop workstation.

Unfortunately it will still come down to the bank wanting to do business with you. I believe at the end of the day, if you don't agree to what the bank wants of you, and from you, they will debank you. There is no right, or even a law, that the bank has to give you an account.

This is a good decision by the CFPB but it's a drop in the bucket.
That' assuming houses don't go up in price though right?

Also I think it's pretty rare for people to have the mental fortitude to save 2.5k a month for a house on top of living expenses, rent, and trying to build your retirement / savings / emergency fund.

It's definitely possible but I think it's out of reach for the average person.
Seems like this would hurt those laid off here. They are probably in the top 20% of property values.

That said, I think it is a pretty bad idea. Use of public funds dont increase with property value, it just means you have deeper pockets. I would be more in favor of flat taxes on homes independent of value, so people pay their fair share for community resources consumed.
I remember visiting California in the 1990s and was amazed to see my California friends waiting patiently at the light, looking at me like I was uncivilized because I just crossed the street whenever it was safe.
However, pedestrians can cross wherever/whenever they think that it's safe to do so anywhere in Britain (Northern Ireland I think has some kind of jaywalking law). It's not just in London or other cities, but remote countrysides too where crossings may not be available. Pedestrians have priority, but it's definitely frowned upon to cause vehicles to have to slow/swerve to avoid a collision.

The Highway Code was recently updated (a few years ago) to make it more explicit that pedestrians crossing a side road junction should have priority over vehicles trying to turn into the side road. However, that's not necessarily followed by all drivers/cyclists etc.

Basically, drivers/cyclists are expected to make all efforts to avoid a collision and will be considered at fault unless it's a scenario where the pedestrian steps into the road without enough time for the driver/cyclist to react and avoid them.
Dismissing fraud as a problem makes it sound like there’s no tradeoff here. I think we all know that in real life, fraud actually is a pretty big problem? Though they’re self-interested, I expect that banks know it too.

It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to export your data, but this is a sensitive operation that maybe shouldn’t be too easy. People are definitely going to be tricked. The individualistic, libertarian assumption (that customers are responsible adults who know what they’re doing) is known to be false by anyone who has worked in a customer support role.

interesting decision - makes sense for performance but shadows giving away a player's position in a competitive fps adds depth (and fun!) imo. satisfying to read a bad approach and also to play around if you notice your shadow's about to give you away.

I've kept TB Beta installed but still go back to FairEmail. But I'm not an email power user, I really only stick to it because the widgets are better. No dark mode for the K9/TB widget is a dealbreaker. And even then FairEmail goes beyond that in allowing transparent widgets.

Interesting insight about construction. I think you're right.

We see this ad hoc in software now. When there is a mass layoff, someone will go get a new job, and then try to bring on all of their previous coworkers. Or a group will go off and start a startup which (if they're lucky) will get acquired and they get to keep working together.

Which now makes me think, if you're a big company, maybe it behooves you to offer a highly functioning team a seed round instead of individual severances...
Again you’re just wrong.

Based on this post, when you drop a monoio TcpListener nothing happens. If there is an accept inflight, when it completes the reactor wakes your task, which ignores the wake up and goes back to sleep. INSTEAD when you drop the TcpListener it should cancel interest in this event with the reactor, and when the event completes the reactor should clean up the state for the complete event (which means closing the newly open file descriptor in this case).

Does this involve synchronization? Yes! Surprise surprise, when you share state between concurrent processes (whether they be tasks, threads, processes, or userspace and the kernel) you need some form of synchronization. When you say things like “Rust’s facilities to prevent race conditions [are] synchronizations tools and not part of async” you are speaking nonsense, because async Rust in all its forms are built on these synchronization primitives, whether they be atomic variables or system mutex’s or what have you.
Ah right, I just read it wrong I suppose
The present value of your org is your old products, all futures gains are from new products. The tech industry is littered with tombstones of companies that sat coasted on the success of an older product. Conversely there's a fascinating habit of really smart people in the right environment (Google, Bell Labs, Xerox PARC etc) to create things of enormous value. Things that were just a side project include AWS, Slack, the transistor and transformer architecture. All these companies are really trying to be incubators for the next 100x thing.

Merely listing ublock origin as a "recommended extension" led to them being fined in China about two years ago. You can't even install it in mainland China right now.
Its free. It's just POC
It's more of an acceptance of reality. Pedestrians in NYC cross however they want and police only ever intervene if they're doing something excessively dangerous (which I believe is still illegal) or if they're looking for a excuse to harass someone. It's the latter they are trying to eliminate. This will likely have no impact on road safety and slightly reduce the number of people getting hassled by police.

There's also the balance of power that NYC is actually mostly pedestrian. Anything that empowers pedestrians and inhibits cars is a net win for freedom of movement.

There aren't that many people that upgrade something like an MBP every year, most of us keep them longer than that.

I've just ordered an (almost) top-of-the-range MBP Max, my current machine is an MBP M1-max, so the comparisons are pretty much spot-on for me.

Selling the M1 Ultra Studio to help pay for the M4 MBP Max, I don't think I need the Studio any more, with the M4 being so much faster.

The math varies a lot by location. In the US the costs of gear and install are typically higher (twice as high as here.)
It'll also obviously be a factor of electricity cost, sunny days, your residential consumption and so on.

Personally I get 17.5% return on capital spent (and ways to improve that further) so the math works out well. Ymmv.
I used to think this was a dumb idea, but when you think about it: The only person who wants to hear a car's vroom-vroom noises is the driver. So it makes sense to play the fake noises back through the internal speakers--they're only there for the entertainment of one person.

You should be able to turn it off if you don't care about vroom-vroom.
Things like this just indicate the sanctions can be leaky, but not that they are not working at all. The best indication that sanctions are working is how badly Russia wants them removed, and they clearly do want them removed.

Concluding that any amount of leakage means we should scrap the whole project would be like sacking the entire Police department because some crime still exists.

Almost every calendar system has a similar trick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercalation_(timekeeping)

The west inherits from the Romans, and Julius Caesar standardized away the Roman intercalary month by glomming it into Feburary. Before that a "priest" (the pontifex maximus) (in scare-quotes because it was a political office) would add that month on an ad-hoc basis. Not so different!

This doesn't really make sense. What is a "researcher" at a law firm? Lawyers at top firms are on fixed pay schedules, starting at 180k as a 1st year going up to something like 450k after 8yrs (?).

Tech is high earning. It gets beat out by high finance and partner-level roles in e.g. law though. If someone is earning 450k in their first year it's probably similar to a quant finance role.
