That "Quality of Life" index is lame as hell. Maybe I'm biased as a New Yorker, but I'd live here over Raleigh any day. The access & immersion in culture, food, entertainment, diversity etc. is the best part of living here and is not accounted for. Oh, and I don't need a car.

Also, NYC is so large that it's hard to put a number on "cost of living". According to this chart I pay a San Jose rent in Manhattan. Brooklyn/Queens rents are way cheaper. If you average the entire city it jacks the rate up.

How do startups deal with Australia's terrible internet? Do they get better rates/no caps? Is the internet situation hyperbolic & overblown on HN/Reddit?

Leftovers?

Yeah, it would also give weight to an otherwise lukewarm article. It's way to bogged down in Standard Business English to make a coherent thrust.

Thanks!

Atomics & shared memory. We use a ton of array buffers along with web workers to transmux HLS video in the browser (https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js). Being able to share memory across the worker instance will hopefully save a lot of memory/time.

This was also the line that stuck out to me. I've had some personal experiences with coworkers in my recent career that has turned me on to issues of harassment in the workplace; I understood the issues before, but it wasn't until it affected someone close did I actually care. As I've been more involved I've seen how fast those active in making workplaces safer/more inclusive outpace those who merely empathize and understand. It's unfair and rude to assign a label to those who aren't completely up-to-date with these new practices, and is in fact counterproductive - you turn off to those whose support you want when you speak down to them as such. This is what makes people afraid of what to say, and makes you look like a "crazy liberal SJW". Calling a survey maker who didn't know "transgender" wasn't a gender is an objective lack of empathy, which makes Github here sound like they really have a point.

Customers also care about:

4) How quickly can you fix it?

5) How quickly can you deliver this feature?

Not true. Jcrew Factory does $5 flat rate, or more frequently offers it free. A prepaid label is also provided with the shipment. And unlike Amazon, these clothes are not add-on or pantry-like items (i.e. need to spend some crazy amount of money to NOT pay for shipping, even with Prime), and won't be last-miled by their crappy service or Lasership.

I believe it's more effective to focus on a "small business" approach to decentralizing the web, where we focus on smaller companies providing services, rather than a "tin foil" approach where we encrypt and decentralize everything into tiny islands. I work for a video player company and while we aren't a platform like Youtube, we indirectly compete with them for ad dollars (along with Facebook). Something like 90% of ad dollars go towards them already. Most publishers do not like them. I think it's a lot easier to decentralize the internet by having the websites that 99% of users visit powered by smaller internet businesses rather than AmaGooFaceSoft.

I'm fairly certain stopping the tides would be devastating to the environment since several ecosystems (tidal plains, marshes, riparian zones, etc.) depend upon them.

>We propose to return jurisdiction over Internet service providers’ privacy practices to the FTC, with its decades of experience and expertise in this area.157 We seek comment on this proposal.

Somehow I feel that their "decades of experience and expertise" is not the kind appropriate for dealing with privacy on the modern internet.

>dedicated lanes for trucks

This is exactly what's happening in Bayonne across the river. The turnpike -> toll -> residential route (and reverse) to the shipping port creates an extreme amount of congestion - the worst I've seen in NJ. For the past few years they've been building a dedicated turnpike lane, toll booth, and road to the port along with a set schedule based on plate numbers for trucks to be received.

Awesome thanks!

Do you have any good guides for beginner investing? I save most of my salary but have no idea where to get started with investing.

Makes sense, there are tons of trucks laying fiber outside of my apartment and elsewhere. The larger question: will it get into my building?

Is there anything wrong with stock Kobo firmware? My paperwhite is pretty dated and I was thinking of jumping ship.

I'm glad they didn't move to ARM for the Surface. I bought my mom one for Christmas to replace her iPad 1 (her main computer at the time) and she loves it. Having arthritis, a touchscreen hybrid works really well for her. Not having full access to Windows apps (because of ARM) would probably make it a non-starter though.

When you mean studying something else, do you mean something academic or hobby-based? I think having deep hobbies are really beneficial, and with mine I like to take a more "organic" or free-form approach to learning.

Am I missing out by not learning Vim? I know enough to get by for git purposes (renaming all picks to s is amazing), but I feel like I'm really productive with Webstorm. There's a ton of great shortcuts and great features (multi-cursoring, intelligent refactoring, customizable search directories, integrated terminal, etc.) that I feel outplay anything I could do with Vim.

The scifi book Blindsight has a similar concept - simulated environments for disease testing - but instead of creating a new simulation researchers use MMOs. Thinking about real-life examples, I wonder if a game like WoW with history and aspects of civilization would be accurate enough to research disease spreading.

Did you do any studies on any pure software products, such as a videogame?

I wish this could be (maybe it already can be?) disabled for environments where I don't care about battery life/power consumption. This change probably saves me a fraction of a cent per month at the cost of a worse web experience (I'm a bit of a tab hoarder).

You're welcome!

Neat, but what's with the notifications permission? Notifications are pretty intrusive and turned me off of your site - is there a good reason you need them?

For a Malthusian exploration of the psychological/technological impact of overpopulation, check out "Stand on Zanzibar" by John Brunner. It's a bit pulpy but has some very cool ideas.

What you're referring to as Emacs is actually GNU Emacs, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Emacs.

* If your first year or two was at a "top company". Significantly more difficult if you worked anywhere else.
