Rent is mixed with immigration because housing (extending that, physical space) is a limited resource.

If housing is static and never increases, no matter how much the Average Joe's pay is increased due to an influx of highly paid immigrants, they're still going to lose when competing against a highly skilled immigrant for limited resources.

In reality housing is not static, but as you mentioned is highly regulated. The established wealth have incentive to not increase housing supply, especially if they have a number of properties in an area with a lot of immigrants (one such source of NIMBYism).

Proof of location has been researched/studied for a while. There are systems that depend on a mesh of RF connected nodes and associated economic game (which could be replaced by some government authority) to ensure validity. E.g. https://foam.space/about
Are any major fiber routes hollow-core? HFC signals should be ~50% faster than traditional fiber optic cables, and that might be enough to throw off this data.
What? Really? Please read my comment, you will see that I have not assumed a perfect market.

If I sell bagels for $2 each, and then I go down the street and see another bagel shop selling for $1.90 each, I might try to offer mine for $1.80 (if I have margin to spare).

It’s really that simple and something that demonstrably happens in the real world every day.
It is working great in New York City: traffic is down 11-60% with just a $9 fee.
Bluesky also has a followers feed like Mastodon. I use that one sometimes, but it's easy to toggle over to one of the algorithmic feeds as well. Sort of best of both.

Worth noting that some algorithms can be done client-side, but it may not be feasible or desirable to do so. For example in the open protocol of email, some huge majority of all mail is supposedly spam. Filtering client-side would be a tremendous waste of resources. I suspect the same could become true of any open protocol like Mastodon or AT.

Either way, I think the proliferation of sites is good for the digital ecosystem.

Sure, it comes down to your filters at the end. But I think legitimately needing a unicorn or domain expert is different from the above statement of

> hiring organically just doesn't result in solid candidates.

the tech hiring has been a bit annoying for a decade now, but this simply sounds like a narrative for someone simply wanting an H1B rather than one who is simply bad at finding talent.
RISC-V is the ISA, which is a solid first step. What you need is a production-ready fully open source whole device, so that someone who wants to fork it only has to change the parts they need to be different instead of having to also re-engineer the missing components.
>Canada has proven that importing punjabis for almost two decades and ignoring the local people is not effective.

Curious, that's what Americans once said about the Irish and the Italians and the Germans and the French and the Poles and the Chinese and Jews and Catholics and Muslims and so on and on ad nauseum.

It's just a generational crab mentality born from xenophobia. Every new wave of immigrants decides they're "native" as soon as the next wave shows up. None of them are any more native than the others.

> * One of the US's key strategic advantages is brain drain.*

I think the brain drain has peaked. Many people here in Europe don't think much of the US anymore, while 20-30 years ago it was THE place to go.

I'm sure many countries like India and China, for whom the US still might be somewhat attractive, are going to go the way of Europeans.
Supply demand dynamics only work for optional spending and in market segments that have real competition.
Likely true, but the point made in the article (near the ned) is that consumers generally don't have that information and vendors go to considerable lengths to obscure it.
I don't think you can prevent it anymore than you can prevent the impact of advertising billboards, or the news.

Parents should lead by example. Easier said than done I know, but parents need to be the idols in their children's lives. Not influencers.

If a parent leads by example they will win in the long run because influencers are fake and shallow while you're real and always there for them.

Children who seek out other role models are children who didn't, or couldn't, look up to their parents. This has always been going on. Before social media we sought out role models in school or in the streets.
If something is "your own business" until you get caught doing it, then the correct label for that thing is "illegal".
My one and only experience with booking.com was around 10 years ago. I made a last minute late night booking, only to turn up and be told the room wasn't available. This was followed by a week of wrangling with booking.com to get the refund which was extremely annoying given I was traveling on a shoestring budget at the time. Never again.

Optimization is very often like that. Making things generic, uniform and simple typically has a performance penalty - and you use your GPU because you care about that stuff.
That is not why neither Bazel or Buck was created.
Very likely a case of tuning to the standard safety tests.

The gold standard for standardized AEB testing is in the Euro NCAP. You can see the testing protocol [1] explicitly specifies [2] a fixed size human adult with black hair, black shirt, blue pants with a precise visible, infrared, and radar cross-section. I lack sufficient knowledge to comment on whether those characteristics are representative, but I will assume that they are.

While precise test characteristics are valuable for test reproduction and comparative analysis, it makes it very easy for manufacturers to overfit and make their systems seem safer than they actually are in generalized circumstances whether accidentally or intentionally.

They have never had unmonitored access to the internet. Now that they're older, the <18yo boy has a dumb phone for communication, and our >18yo daughter has an older iPhone she only uses for comms and directions.

They have also not ever had access to drugs, alcohol, or modern cinematic fiction, because that would have similarly negative effects on their development as compassionate human beings. They have also not hung out with children raised in this compassionless media landscape.

Remember, people, that your tech overlords don't give a sh_t about any of you, except insofar as they can make a buck off of you. They don't care one bit about your happiness or the misery their products cause; they only care that you can't prove that they caused those harms.

They don't care that their "bitcoin"s are burning up our already-overheating Earth. They don't care that their LLMs are consuming massive amounts of water and electricity. They have sold our children's future for a small price.

And they have the temerity to call us "woke" for waking up to the fact that our world is run by callous, unscrupulous scoundrels.

Compassion is the essense of humanity. Without it, we are just very talented animals perpetuating dumb pack warfare amongst packs and within our pack, often for a buck.

Not exactly sure about it myself either. There are things I like about it but at the same time there others that sort of bother me (uncertainty about whether the language will stick around, ugly syntax in certain cases). Being in Linux is impressive for a language, but I suspect most will stick to C.
I love seeing projects like this. When Pyiodide came out I was excited but it was a bit difficult to use, this looks and feels fantastic.

I really like Observable as well, but I've found it difficult to find robust and broad numerical libraries in javascript like what Python has.

I would love for this type of tool to redefine how we do science. It would be amazing if many scientific papers included both their data and the code in an interactive environment with zero installs and configuration. Plus when discussing a paper you could "fork" it and explore different analysis options live which for many fields would be totally feasible to do in the browser.
Have you ever wondered why most studies on humans use college students as test subjects? The answer is that they are easy to survey. Obviously though that can skew results quite a bit because the population is really not all that representative of the general public.

This product will do the same thing: it will help narrow the field of candidates to those who are easy to locate. I guess people who do marketing might like this because look high quality online survey results! And the bias is hidden well enough to keep your job! But the reality is that this will affect the results in a meaningful way.

For example, my ISP doesn’t support IPv6 so my entire home network is served by IPv6 provided by Hurricane Electric via protocol 41. So depending on what this service does with it I would likely be disqualified since my IPv4 is in a different state than my IPv6.

Long story short, cool tech demo and product I would personally avoid using or recommending.
Some do have stop signs before you enter, but they should always have at least an implicit yield. Vehicles entering should be prepared to stop in case there's not room to enter the roundabout yet. The real issue with their suggestion is that only being able to cross "before the entry" wouldn't get you anywhere, you have to also cross where cars exit it!
I wonder if Apple runs statistics on controls and sees if a setting isn't used as much by the common user, so power users (audiophiles/etc), are hurt by these decisions.
It could really use a way to control the spread of the button around the track ball. Just to make them closer together. The palmrest should also grow wider when columns are added to the keyboard.

A recording of whether or not a driver is distracted driving to be able to prove it is not analogous to a collar that paralyzes someone.
This is tin-foil-hat speculation, but for example, if you observe a locality measurement protocol picking where it should connect to, but you already know all of the local sites of interest that are relevant, you might want to find remote sites of interest. If you manipulate the more open sampling protocol to lean toward that remote site, you can then observe where secured connections to which you're otherwise blind, connect to. Now you have new remote targets of interest.
Would no longer be worth it for me but still would be for society at large.
Somebody please pay people to create sites like this so LLMs can train on them and I never have to spend time thinking about arcane FFMPEG commands ever again. I remember losing whole days in the before times trying to figure out how to make FFMPEG do some highly specific set of things.
Great article. I remember seeing that a year or two ago but had long since forgotten about it.

I'm using Universal Blue now (Aurora, i.e. KDE flavour) and I'm very happy with it. With its large amount of pre-installed packages and drivers (including proprietary ones), I still didn't need to install any custom package (rpm-ostree) or otherwise modify the OS config (except for turning off SELinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux). It's the most pragmatic distro I've used so far.

SaveDesktop[0] (saves flatpak apps and DE configs) and mise-en-place[1] (declarative shell environment manager) are making my installation backupable and quite reproducible (not to NixOS standards though).

For software that's not in flatpak, docker or mise, toolbox[2] and distrobox[3] are available for the rescue. Both work really well (toolbox seems better for CLIs, distrobox for GUIs), but all atomicity/declarativity is lost.

- No phones before 8th grade

- Phones start out locked down (talk/text only)

- Enable select apps (e.g. Camera, Duolingo) with proven responsible behavior.

- No social media apps or accounts

- Youtube and similar are blocked at the router at home

- Computer (Chromebook) use is supervised, mostly

- No phones when you have a group of friends over. Yes I will confiscate them.
I , of course, allow them to only sing music with their voices. Later we introduce percussive instruments, violin, and harpsichord.

By 18 they will be introduced to the piano forte.

Before SpaceX we had Virgin Orbit and Blue Origin, two well-funded ventures that were burning money going nowhere, and a bunch of old big defense companies building rockets derived from ICBMs.

After SpaceX we have Rocket Lab running a successful smallsat launch service with their Electron rocket, with ambitions for more; Astra making rockets that fit in standard shipping containers (to great interest of military customers); Firefly trying to break into the market of medium lift vehicles and lunar landers; Relativity Space trying to make better rockets with extensive 3d printing; and Stoke Space trying to make medium lift rockets with some whacky engine configurations. And that's just the US, lots of exciting movement in Europe, India and China too. Also let's not forgetting Blue Origin is about to finally launch their first orbital rocket, a design that's clearly inspired by Falcon 9.

Sure, maybe of the above only SpaceX and RocketLab can already be called successful launch providers, and SpaceX is like 90% of the US launch market. But even if all the others end up failing, going from old defense companies and failing billionaire's toys to old defense companies, SpaceX, RocketLab and Blue Origin is a massive step up that likely wouldn't have happened without SpaceX

I am generally happy with the write performance of ZFS. I have not noticed slow system updates on ZFS (although I run Gentoo, so slow is relative here). In what ways is the write performance bad?

I am one of the OpenZFS contributors (although I am less active as late). If you bring some deficiency to my attention, there is a chance I might spend the time needed to improve upon it.

By the way, ZFS limits the outstanding IO queue depth to try to keep latencies down as a type of QoS, but you can tune it to allow larger IO queue depths, which should improve write performance. If your issue is related to that, it is an area that is known to be able to use improvement in certain situations:

Little marketing switcharoo there to avoid pissing off their future owners.
All of my kid’s sixth grade friends have smartphones. No exceptions. If I excluded those families my kid wouldn’t be allowed to have friends. Best I can do is take the other kids phones away after a certain number of screen hours at my house.

Limiting screen time is an exceptionally challenging task because of the many loopholes and bugs in parental controls, and my lack of direct control over the chromebooks the schools issue.

Do you really think you can predict your kids future friends correctly and lobby the correct set of parents during kindergarten years?

did they mean that literally or just that an expert was assigned to it? What kind of PhD would even be relevant to maintaining machinery on an assembly line? Perhaps a PhD on the operations of that specific machine but even then, the person's knowledge would be so focused on whatever physics/chemistry/science is being used that i find it hard to believe a PhD would know what to do when something broke without tons of specific training on the hardware.
They “could” also create a new interface that's somehow more efficient for Windows. Oh wait..

They could buy Unity though. Considering how mismanaged that company is it wouldn’t be such a bad outcome. Of course large acquisitions are very costly and risky these days.
Not sure about policing and drones in California, but I know it's extremely expensive to get home owners insurance in canyon-bordering areas. A buddy of mine couldn't get his property insured at all; he was forced to utilize some sort of state-run program, which, of course, was extremely expensive.
Yup.

The concept that biological systems have made 3D vision, navigation, and object avoidance work without LIDAR is certainly attractive.

But there is a LOT more to it than just a photosensor and a bunch of calculations. The sensors themselves have many properties unmatched by cameras, including wider dynamic range, processing in the retina and optic nerve itself, and more, and the intelligence attached to every biological eye also is built upon a body that moves in 3D space, so has a LOT of alternate sensory input to fuse into an internal 3D model and processing space. We are nowhere near being able to replicate that.

The more appropriate analogy would be the wheel or powered fixed wing aircraft. Yes, we're finally starting to be able to build walking robots and wing-flapping aircraft, and those may ultimately be the best solution for many things. But, in the meantime, the 'artificial' solution of wheels and fixed airfoils gets us much further.

Ultimately, camera-only vision systems will likely be the best solution, but until then, integrating LIDAR will get us much further.
