That's absolutely it. People not only are unwilling to sell - as in their right - but also insist that everyone else be unwilling to sell. If they are willing, the permitting process is made to be as painful as possible, in an effort t

California requires winning a plebiscite to build public housing. This is not optional. When it does manage to build public housing, SF spends approximately a million dollars a unit to do so. That's purely to get a habitable unit. It

Why would the US sign a free trade deal with the UK, when it wouldn't sign one with the much larger EU? I fully expect my government to insist on conditions favorable towards the much larger and much richer party in UK-US trade relatio

At this juncture? I would say a dog's natural environment is among humans.

That was my thought. This is exactly what you would do if you thought you needed a little tech work up front but that it wasn't actually all that important to the future of the thing.

I think there's a mismatch here that only becomes apparent when you consider what level each web service and the browser are operating on. Search engines and publishers are considering intent - which is relatively easy because they h

I think a more subtle, and perhaps salient, question is how many people not trying to sell something understand what's important? It's very easy to mistrust the motives of someone trying to do customer education. You're rig

Has it? It seems to me that OnlyFans is going to quickly create a winner-takes-most environment, where much like in music most people put in a lot of work for not a lot of pay. Atop that, there's a toxic parasocial aspect to it where c

Overall, I think Google does prefer to rank faster-loading sites higher. With that said, as far as I can tell, the difference between two sites is almost never a simple as a single factor. There are hundreds of things that influence ranking

The hospital is owned and governed by the City and County of San Francisco. They definitely have plenty of power over it. If what I've read is accurate, his name is on the hospital at the insistence of hospital administrators. They wer

I suspect this is what a solution might look like if someone was designing a system to produce tenured professors and attached minimal value to other things.

I suspect it may also be hard to swallow the idea that a professional engineer's skills are needed when such a person costs more than the researcher's salary.

I have definitely worked on systems that tried to do parallelism without any real understanding of underlying primitives or theory. They were not ideal.

Knowing the properties of a data structure and how it works under the hood is incredibly valuable when deciding if it's a good answer to the problem at hand. If you don't know why hashing is important or what it gets you, you migh

I have some doubts on several points. First, that sounds like a pretty clear signal that the business is pointedly not targeting EU citizens. Such a business would not be envisaging "offering services to data subjects in one or more

A lot of large mergers and acquisitons were, in fact, reviewed and approved by bodies that exist to do precisely that. Facebook's acquisition of Instagram was reviewed. I expect their acquisition of Whatsapp was as well.

All the workflows my colleagues and I deal with that would be made more painful by this are ones that are on the list of things that should be migrated to machine management. Often because they involve humans touching production systems whe

What's there to be afraid of, so long as your workflows aren't made significantly more painful? A local development environment should still be possible in many cases. One shouldn't need to call AWS services.
