I mean lots of people lost their jobs and businesses, and saw their lives and standard of living derailed as a result of the lockdowns, but we've been told that this was worth the sacrifice. EDIT: And I'll add I mention this out t

What now? There is no plan. We have the vaccine, at least in the US and EU we have enough doses, and they are more effective than many expected them to be. We are many, many days into "three weeks to slow the spread". In Manhattan

I suspect that if those numbers were significant they would have found their way into the headline.

Here's an example: a retail store has several KPI they must hit set by corporate. One is some kind of metrics on work performed, another is not allowing above some level of overtime hours. Officially, working off the clock is a fireabl

I am increasing convinced that all of the harms of social media can be traced back the ML models used to sort and filter user content. The world of pure deterministic feeds ordered by date descending never had these problems--things would

I have found that the cognitive load required to evaluate its suggestions is more of a distraction from what I'm doing--in sharp contrast to conventional autosuggest which is predictable. That said, I haven't turned it off yet. It

I think this is not going to make sense if your only point of reference is residential rentals in a typical American city, but this is how it is done in at least some places in Europe. People tend to stay in one place for much longer than A

Yeah, I wish we had German-style "unfurnished" apartments available in the US where you can rent an apartment that's literally concrete subfloor and unpainted walls, no kitchen appliances or cabinets, etc. I guess Americans m

Long before I ever heard of Strong Towns, probably decade(s) before it existed in fact, I observed a pattern as a teenager in my sunbelt home state in that there was perpetually a band of new development that was the "nice" part o

Well a Google Image search for "millionaire" turns up mostly private jets and Lamborghinis.

While technically correct, this doesn't square with most people's intuitive sense of what "being a millionaire" means. It's not having a solid retirement nest egg, it is being able to jet off to your yacht in St. Tr

Is this any kind of standard? Like if Microsoft comes along and says you need to change your SSID to end in "_noloc" rather than "_nomap" what are you supposed to do?

Pre-pandemic I used to occasionally do this with my coworkers and my boss, it was nice. Of course now all my coworkers and many people I knew have left the city and moved out of state, so this won't be possible again.

I'm pretty sure if China went to war with Argentina it would find new teeth.

by hatchnyc 5y ago
Argentina is a signatory of the Rio Treaty, as such any attack against Argentina would we considered an attack against the United States and most of the rest of South America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-America

I'm not sure what specifically is being proposed here. I gave some specific examples of government actions to protect its citizens engaging in commerce going back hundreds if not thousands of years. I'm not aware of any government

by hatchnyc 5y ago
This is well within the scope of what the government should be doing--just as a country's navy protects merchant ships from pirates and the police protect shopkeepers from burglary. If a foreign military were launching physical attacks

It is coordinated and strategic, they work together to normalize this shit. They've successfully weaponized their mental health. It is turning people into vampires that suck the life and resources of family and fiends.

The US should start exporting vaccines and this news should be made very public. Not only is this a good thing to do, but it will help drive higher vaccination rates if people feel that they're about to lose access to a scarce resource

Mexican avocados were banned from import to the United States for over 80 years until 1997. Before that, the supply of avocados from California was seasonal and limited which discouraged restaurants from putting them on their menu and gener

I use two MacBooks for programming for several hours each every single day, my personal machine has a touchbar, my work machine does not. I realize this is blasphemous to say and I did think I would hate the touchbar for all the reasons, bu

Utilities are in a thankless position. Everyone wants rock-bottom low rates, but also wants 100% solar, distribution lines in their neighborhood buried underground, and every new development in the middle of the wilderness supplied with rel

This is very easy for me, I bought a Boosted Rev electric scooter last year. It cut my commute time nearly in half compared to biking to work (before covid), I don't arrive hot and sweaty in summer and in winter a helmet with a visor k

There are different kinds of tourists as well. Shuffling hoards of cruise ship passengers out on a day trip to snap their Instagram selfies with a few landmarks and buy some mass-produced tchotchkes from the gift shops before returning to t
