weed is not legalized in most of the country, and even where it is "legal", it's a complete gray area. It's illegal federally, which completely overrules the states' ability to legalize it. Basically all the legalization you see is that the local state/county police will not come after you for it, but the DEA is still perfectly within their right to come after you if they wanted to - which has happened to some dispensaries.
You also need to factor in Glacier retrieval fees and AWS's data transfer fees. Also watch out for extra fees for early deletion.

You see extortion, I see charging a fair market rent for use of their land.

Note that the new owners are not threatening to cut off access to the houses. I'm pretty sure that would be illegal. They are merely threatening to charge for parking. Parking space is valuable and something people should pay for.

Edit: I also want to say that having your property auctioned off after you fail to pay property taxes for thirty years is hardly a "technicality."

Not really, it can be obvious the market is overvalued, to the point where almost everyone agrees this is true, but there is still money to be made and the momentum is still upwards so it keeps getting even more overvalued. A trader doesn't care how overvalued a share is compared to fundamental economics, he cares whether it's overvalued compared to it's likely price tomorrow or in 10 minutes, or in a few milliseconds. Then something happens that makes it real, like Lehmans being unable to meet its obligations.
I think the best way to handle prostitution and recreational drugs is to let each neighborhood decide what is allowed. If the majority of residents and majority of property owners are okay with a particular activity, it should be legal there.

There are always going to be problems allowing these activities and problems with banning them. If you let each neighborhood decide, at least you're moving the problem to areas that are ready and willing to deal with the problems. They can tax it, regulate it, provide security, drug treatment etc. That means the neighborhood has to form some kind of legal entity, of course.

And you're giving the customers reasons to go where they are welcome. By doing it on a neighborhood level, it becomes much easier to comply. It's easier to drive 15 blocks than to go to the next county.

And I think enforcement where it is banned can just be done with fines, giving people a good reason to take their business to where it is welcome. There's no reason to put people in prison.

Gold having intrinsic value is a straw man argument for it being different than Fiat currencies. Consider this thought experiment. You are going to live by yourself in the forest for a month. Would you rather have A) a weeks worth of food or B) 1 oz of gold. I think this highlights there is no intrinsic value or at least much lower than what people claim. Obviously, there is place for gold in electronics and circuitry, but aside from specialized applications, the need for gold is pretty low.

Now, I know that I've committed a straw man argument myself by using a contrived example. To that, I'll say that the only "value" one has by having gold in the real world is that other people will trade you for it. But this is exactly the opposite of intrinsic value. The value of gold being entirely fabricated by people's desire to hold it.

Neat idea, I really like it.

The only comment I have is that the `__main__.py` looks like a bit like spaghetti with ~1200 lines, multiple classes, and scattered global state. Not really a big deal unless you plan on growing the project or using it as a portfolio piece. Also in my opinion the project really is a prime portfolio piece, it shows creativity, polish, and theoretical understanding.
ARMs is solid. First time I have preferred motion controls over traditional inputs (for entertainment, not efficacy).
I don't think comparing your hobby projects to Qt is apt here.

First, the Qt company sells a commercial license for $79/month so that you can use the software without GPL restrictions. The author didn't mention if they were using that or the open source version. Either way, Qt is at least partly a commercial venture.

Second, there is a huge difference in the size of the respective projects if your projects only had you as the maintainer. It's not that easy to contribute to large projects. Also IMO, it behooves the larger projects to try and make their users happy especially if they want to remain alive.

Finally, upon reading the article you can see that the author is not expecting free help in any way. He is simply saying that if you want Accessibility then don't use Qt unless you can implement it yourself.
its more than just that though. it's a legit safety issue. the switches are old and have been breaking down at spectacular rates. if a switch breaks when trains on the line are too close too each other there is a much higher chance for a collision due to one of the trains breaking too soon or too late. spacing them out more evenly reduces the chance of that scenario.
Sure. As another proponent of a guaranteed minimum income, I would be delighted if you could build model tractors all day, and even start a museum dedicated to them.

Sleep Eliminates Brain Waste Accumulated While Awake
I've set up a bunch of cheap D-Link WiFi cameras.

To alleviate the IoT security concerns, they're all on their own WiFi network (mapped to a dedicated VLAN). This lets me set up rules on my router to prevent the cameras from talking to the internet and to other networks. Devices on other networks are allowed to talk to the cameras, but I'm planning on restricting that to only allow the monitoring VM to connect to the camera network.

For monitoring/recording, I use Zoneminder. Zoneminder has some quirks, but it does the job well enough.

While I'm glad you pointed out that that this is a shitty thing to do, I still think its a slimy thing to do regardless of whether it's done to the rich or poor.

A couple things to note:

(1) if the couple does win, then it only bolsters someone else's case to do something similar elsewhere. When it happens in a poor neighborhood and people are up in arms, guess which case will get cited.

(2) there's no way in hell this is going to stand. there are probably mistakes that were made in not notifying all the homeowners of the sale. the homeowners are too rich and too powerful to not find some kind of loop hole.

(3) that couple is in for a world of legal hurt. if they choose to fight they're going to rack up a shit load of legal bills. it's them vs 40 rich people. yes, $90k for the street and $5M in future legal bills. even if they win, they'll be buried in legal bills. And then when they do try to collect parking fees, the homeowners are going to hassle them for every dime. if the couple thinks the homeowners are just going to roll over and merrily pay them any amount of money for parking, they are sorely mistaken.

At 20ms per AND, that's 50 Hz. That's... slower than useful, surely?

Indeed. I'm not sure why my comment is getting so heavily downvoted to be honest.

The fact is that a new hire has specifically asked me to buy him an older Macbook Pro in preference to the new touch-bar variant primarily because of the lack of decent ports on the new model and the hassle this causes with dongles (especially when they go missing, which they invariably do).
I wouldn't underplay their battery tech. They have a competitive race team using a hybrid design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_TS050_Hybrid. They have quite a bit of r&d going into battery tech and racing in general which has a history of pushing automotive breakthroughs, they just don't make headlines like Tesla.
A bit tangential but I wonder if something like that could relate to the slightly odd collection of fundamental particles we find in physics. They have properties that have to come out integral like spin x 2 and charge x 3 and have odd values like muons and tao particle being basically electrons but approx 200 and 3500 times heavier.

more like $400/mo. Going price for a parking spot in SF (generally, across the city) is about $200/mo.
It's worth noting that donating to charities usually includes tax benefits, since donations are tax-deductible. This provides a financial incentive for charity/philanthropy, thus exploiting human greed (or perhaps their disdain toward government taxation) for the betterment of humanity (at least in theory).
Gold's price is not supported by its instrinsic value, I'll give you that. But the "forest" test is absurd. By that definition computers, chemotherapy and candy have no instrinsic value.

Gold's value comes from its (a) millennia-long history of stably holding value across cultures and technological domains and (b) its tangibility and physically-enforced scarcity. Its intrinsic value is a fraction of its market value, in part because the inflated price deters lots of uses.
Ok, I'm curious to follow where this goes. thanks!
In this case, the street is quite steep.

If you can find any way to predict the future price of things, you can make money by performing arbitrage across time (instead of space, which is how people usually think of arbitrage). This (nominally) describes all types of model-informed time-based investment.

The thing with arbitrage is that there's a finite amount of money you can make. If there's a price difference on some cross-listed stock between HKEx and SZSE, you can make money by buying on the cheap one and selling on the pricier one. But, as a side effect of doing so, the price goes up on the cheap one and goes down on the pricier one. There is only a finite amount of stock you can exchange before the price difference approaches zero and you can't make money. The price information has been communicated, and the market has served its function.

The same is true for arbitrage across time. There's only so much money you can spend before the "prices" (more complicated than spacial price differences, because you have to worry about some more complex utility theory to find the expectation value of something in the future) equilibrate and market information has been propagated "through time".

This is why these things "have a habit of disappearing"; every single way of making money via models corresponds to a market inefficiency. Model-based traders are eliminating market inefficiencies and making a cut off the benefit, just like any other good business. The inefficiencies are just more abstract than usual.

So if a model is good, there's no way for it to persist. If it actually predicts something we didn't expect, that corresponds to some inneficiency in the market that some trader can eliminate in exchange for a nice fee.
That would not be a recurring cost unlike electricity.
the only right way to answer that question involves a 10000 word history of the politics of the MTA, the finances of NY state and NY city, bankruptcies, budget shortfalls, political corruption and misdirection, very messy labor union politics, and the complexities of running a giant subway system 24/7 in a region that suffers significant damage every year from hurricanes and ice storms.

"Even something as basic as a cable is an antique.

Workers popped open a junction box to show a 70-year-old cloth-covered cable, due for the scrap heap next year, connected to newer rubber-covered wires."

Basically, the system is so old that an incremental retrofit is very complicated to achieve without full shutdown. Remember the overall NYC subway system is the only train system that actually operates 24-7 so maintenance scheduling is also much more involved.

Like everyone said it works perfectly well with source maps. You get proper debug errors, break points, etc.

That said, it is another thing you need to maintaining and depending on the number of transformations your code has to go through, you introduce more points where the source map can break.

That's not quite true though is it? They could certainly (for instance) block transactions and generally hold the whole thing to ransom.

You're right, it doesn't have the financial incentive that you could (for instance) steal coin, but you could potentially block all transactions that don't have a considerable fee, for you, or just break stuff. Motives to do that will become more pressing the higher value the network is to nation states.
