This is great! I found these videos helpful, too: https://youtu.be/Tl1uZ7FBwFQ

Does anyone know of a good explanation of HWAddress Sanitizer internals?

Great work! Should recoup about 0.000001% of the negative externalities cars produce in NYC.

Meta’s blind is full of troll posts like this right now. The most obvious tells that this is fake are:

- Part about Boz (very unlikely & a Meta blind meme)

- Reference to Bain (there was a false rumor they were involved in the November layoffs.)

I wonder how a more competent form of Siri/Alexa/Home might change these market economics. If we ever come to rely on digital assistants for much more than the weather and turning on our lights, the problem of remembering goes away.

"Hey Siri, book me a flight to Vancouver for next January when prices are below $400"

"Hey Siri, show me my travel itinerary"

Old economy jobs in the midwest, sure. I applied to FAANG jobs after a year off and no one even brought it up.

This is fact which feels related, but doesn't have much to do with labor market wage equilibrium.

Exactly. Carrying at 50lb ebike up a three story walk up is a hassle, but 25lbs is relatively easy.

The argument was that the market is important, not that the resulting behaviors of users are an important nuisance to you.

If you consider the short term rental of inexpensive scooters an important market needing laws to regulate their capacity (..by the wise and benevolent leaders of this sparkling city..), it's hard to imagine any market that would fall short of your importance threshold.

The notion that the only way to ensure competition is to forbid it is convoluted.

Basis is providing full refunds and will be shutting down the supporting data services at the end of the year.

For reference, Intel acquired Basis for around $100 million in Q1 2014. (https://techcrunch.com/2014/03/25/intel-competes-purchase-of...)

Evaluating arguments on their merits seems nice, but mood affiliating feels so good.

read: don't forget that innovation has been made illegal due to pressure by certain cartels and outsiders must form political alliances to circumvent them.

The issue is that these deals and tricks are always changing, and their half-life is related to their access; if a trick is both profitable and well-known it likely won't exist for very long.

Nowadays, most of the best knowledge of tricks in this domain are private anyway. I enjoy travel hacking and the community around it, but it's ruined effort if I post an interesting hack in a public forum (ie FlyTalk), only to have some blogger broadcasts it, thus alerting the relevant company and ending the deal.

Yes, these issues are major problems for China overall and for the individuals that make up the working poor (Still literally hundreds of millions of people.)

The parent comment was about creating cheap hacker spaces.

Expensive for farmers who make $2kUSD per annum. Even in the central districts of tier two Chinese cities[1], rent is only $200-300/month for a decent two bedroom. In which case, they ought to just move to a functioning city. My total monthly expenses (rent, food, leisure, taxis, reasonably fast internet) are often <$800USD.

[1]ie not Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou

Can you expand this critique? I'm a recent grad with the prerequisite knowledge they ask for (barely) and aspirations to build cool stuff. Is my time better spent elsewhere? If so, where?

Nature published an informal survey several years ago on amphetamine use among its readership. Perhaps you'll find it interesting:

The market rate for (caucasian)private school English teachers in urban China is between 100-150 yuan/hour ($15.80-$23.75). The cost of living is higher than you would imagine, but you can live quite inexpensively once you get used to the city.

That being said, I do not personally find such teaching jobs enjoyable. And the author, it seems, is not well acquainted with the drawbacks (or advantages) of living in China. (Read Peter Hessler for an accurate account.)

Is there any way to create daily tasks that refresh each day?

When discussing the characteristics of their ideal husband, Chinese girls will occasional joking (not really) say, "有车，有房，父母双亡”。 Which means, "[He] has a car, a house, and both of his parents are dead." Filial piety is hard work.
