It's really about the leading digit being one less. Our intuitive sense of quantity knows that 1X is always greater than 0Y, and that on average given random X and Y, 1X is three times 0Y. Our mind is a superposition of intuitive sense

Have you ever heard about the Jones Act? The US tried to specifically keep shipmaking capabilities, but implementing such protectionism arguably backfired. The point is, what policies would you have implemented to keep that manufacturing ca

Ah gotcha. Yeah `GlobalAlloc` is known to be non-ideal. Hopefully we can get a better API soon.

by pitaj 2y ago
The APIs do tell you how many bytes are actually allocated. For instance, in the following fn allocate(&self, layout: Layout) -> Result<NonNull<[u8]>, AllocError>; You can get the length of the returned byte slic

My understanding is that they're better not in reliability, but in lower maintenance (oil replacement etc).

As a user I prefer YouTube because their premium offering is a great value especially shared in a family (zero ads + music streaming).

I'm curious, can you share more details? For instance, which Glacier tier do you use?

I think a better policy would be requiring, as a condition of copyright registration, a copy of the multiplayer-related server and client code to the government. If the public servers are shut down, that code is released to the public so an

Nuts that any significant open source project would choose to not use any kind of version control, especially nowadays.

Except we know it's a building issue. Housing starts are lower than they were in 2000 despite adding 50 million in population. Vacancy is good - higher vacancy is related to lower prices. Vacancy rates are the lowest they've been

> The role of Airbnb cannot be ignored; it is negatively affecting housing availability as landlords can make much more profits on short-term rentals than long-term ones. It can be ignored if it's insignificant - I haven't seen

Because it's been tried and there's little evidence it actually works.

There's little to no evidence that banning short-term rentals materially decreases rental or housing prices.

Just wanted you to know that the formatting of your quotes is messed up. You probably need to add some more linebreaks.

> continuous code > continuous logic This is terminology I'm used to. Generally this is called "combinational logic" in my experience. Is this a language or regional difference?

Higher vacancy rates are associated with lower rents and lower house prices. Vacancies are at the lowest rate in years in high demand areas.

That is not the definition of slavery. Slavery is being forced to work.
