Like the outcome, hate the process.

1) it should be an industry-wide, international norm

2) it should be an obligation on the card issuer, enforced. By financial regulation, worldwide.

I'm not a fan of industry self-regulation.

I'm not a fan of product differentiation by security model, in this space. Sure, there are different kinds of risk and mitigation, this feels like something which should be base-level norm.
Montana for another. There have been attempts to change that which have all failed in the face of industry lobbying and (more importantly) a Republican controlled legislature
Check out Migadu. They are a Swiss company and offer unlimited domains and mailboxes for just $4 a month. The only drawback is that you can only send 100 emails a day combined from all your email addresses. Good for personal use I guess.

They also have higher tiers if you want to send more emails.

Drinking or not drinking beer during the times you should be productive is a matter of self-discipline and I doubt it has any direct relation to productivity.

Disclaimer: I work in a private office in a London WeWork and the free beer is a nice to have, even if it wasn't a consideration while picking an office.
> I just learned that the term "redneck" actually comes from an old coal miner union strike that showed solidarity by using red kerchiefs hanging around their necks.

Curious, I reasearched this. While that was indeed one use of the term (especially re: the West Virginia mine war in 1921), the etymology for the term as we use it is from 1900ish, 20 years earlier. And it refers, more generally, to farmers and working class folk whose necks would be red from sunburn (wikipedia, well cited in the article on redneck).

Stereotyping rural or working class or poor people using the term "redneck" is bad in its own right, but I dont think it originates from the strike of a coal miner's union. But thanks for leading me to do some research, it was interesting!
I like Uber's give compliments feature. There could be a variety of reasons why they were great. Professional and just let me be. Had an awesome conversation with them and learned something. Got some good tips in a new city.

i dont think the point is tracking your patterns [that is an issue of itself tho] i think the more proximate issue is that a criminal may photograph record or live stream our intimate moments that occur when there is a full expectation of privacy.
And? That's not an argument against UBI. These things have equilibria and rising prices push up supply. The fact that prices may (I emphasize may, because there are other factors at play here that you conveniently ignore) rise doesn't change the utility of raising the floor on standard of living.

I already live a better, more comfortable life than any Roman emperor ever did. We have the means to ensure that no one in our society suffers in destitution, by a vast margin, and that margin increases continuously as automation of menial work proceeds over time.

Not doing so because it might not be "optimally efficient" according to some arbitrary metric is inhuman.

The tools for making a mobile application is something that I consider to be "solved", except in some very specific cases. If you are a startup, you are likely innovating in something that is not making apps, so I do not agree that you "don't know what you're doing" in this area.

I think in places like SF or Seattle it’s a combination of government regulation and zoning rules, and idle capital. But at the same time I don’t see why government itself can’t invest in building things like transportation infrastructure to support the increased density (assuming density is something we want - I’m not entirely convinced it is).

Over the last few decades the default state appears to have been “build up” rather than “build up where needed, and out where you can”. Cities from previous iterations of civilization appear to have done the latter, while we mostly just do the former here in the states (over recent decades). LA could maybe be considered an exception, however it’s zoning rules are draconian and density seems to be the way forward less some major overhaul.
We have to ask the question...why do these vendors keep increasing prices? Shouldn’t the economies of scale reduce prices instead? AWS has the right attitude to keep reducing prices. We need this attitude in software.

Its either greed or market pressure to keep showing increasing profits/growth.

PS: I am with Zoho. We recently reduced prices.

I used what was termed a "transactional broker" when selling my previous home - I paid a flat fee of a few hundred bucks to them as the seller's agent, plus 3% to the buyer's agent. As the article mentioned, there's not much value driven by the selling agent - I managed all the showings via an app and we sold it in a week. The only real value to me as a seller is someone who can bring me a buyer (hence keeping that 3% commission). Buyer's agents also spend time taking clients to see houses and provide some assurance that people aren't arranging viewings just to steal your stuff, so I see a continued role there.

Honestly, I've rarely been impressed by the real estate knowledge of either type of agent. Their general incentive is to make a deal happen - "seller's" agents will often try to talk up a below market offer if it gets them a commission faster. Likewise, I've only met one realtor who I felt was really trying to get me the best deal as a buyer.

We could get a probe to encounter it, however it would be a high speed encounter - far faster than new horizons encounters. Interception seems off the table currently.

At least in SF, I don’t think financing is the issue. The city blocks projects that developers are begging to develop for years and create additional loopholes that allow NIMBYs to stall projects. At some point projects are stalled for so long that the cost to build increases so much where the project is not a good investment anymore and the project is abandoned.
Second this, with the caveat that the Colorado might be a good small size pickup alternative (I haven’t driven it, and the Nissan Frontier isn’t too big for a 4-door if you don’t insist on buying American).
These are almost the opposite of sub-prime mortgages.

A sub-prime mortgage is made at market rate--at an unaffordably high rate as a result of the risk. These are below-market rate loans -- loans at affordable rates for the borrower in spite of the risk. The in-spite part is what makes this philanthropic.
This is tangential/possibly off-topic. I was wondering if anyone could educate me as to why this site needs to use next.js in the first place (the site of the blog, not spectrum). It's mentioned in this blog post and I followed the link. The full tech stack is given here -> https://github.com/mxstbr/mxstbr.com#tech-stack

I went through the codebase, and the content itself is static. I'm not attempting to bash the decision to use next at all. I'm only looking to grow my understanding of the usage of next since I see it being mentioned a lot.

The question I have is, why use next/react for what appears to be a static site. Or, why not use static html + markdown?

Again, not bashing. Just looking for reasons that I might have missed due to my lack of understanding/context.
By "The Mongols", I'm talking Genghis Khan.

Who not only bribed his way around the Wall (Specifically: the Jin portion of the Great Wall), he also used the wall as a paved highway to more effectively traverse China. It was quite ineffective vs Genghis Khan.

A wall is only effective if you station men there. The fence is holding the southern border in any case, they just need more men to handle the various issues that are coming up.

In any case, the wall doesn't stop drone deliveries of Cocaine, or submarine-based drug deals either. Modern technology means that $1000 or $2000 budgets can really get you around a stationary wall these days.
>provided there's no deception.

First of all, your caveat does not hold. This article is deceptive in full. None of the advice presented here is good at all... "divide the room into quadrants and search each quadrant"? Why? Just search the entire room. The article fundamentally gives the impression that you will not actually be able to locate any spygear unless you have an RF detector and a camera beacon simply by not giving any good advice otherwise. "Check if the outlet covers have been changed?"
right, because when I bug a house that I own, I also buy a new outlet cover.

No one trying to sell you something is going to tell you how you could effectively live your life without their product. This is fundamentally deceptive, and seems to have gone so far as to have fooled even you.

Because the pickup isn't a work vehicle. It is a statement, a bit of fashion. That's where the market is. People want to look like they need a pickup. In reality, they would be better served by a minivan. They are why every truck has back seats.

A more honest answer is probably to get the smallish SUV and buy a trailer. An 8'x4' metal trailer, with full wheels, will let you haul the wood/stuff those few times a year you need to. When I was in university I had a small Jeep and a proper trailer. On big climbing/camping trips I could haul more stuff than any pickup. An 8'x4'x2' trailer is bigger than all but the biggest pickup beds. The bed was also lower, which made things like motorcycles much easier to load.
Sure, there are autonomous trains in some places, I said so right in my post. But why aren't _all_ of them autonomous by now?
the problem is that when you turn a passion into a job you get a lot of other things that you may not passionate about.

i had a passion for programming in highschool. but i absolutely hated working 9-5 in an office environment. the problem was when i had that experience as an intern i didn't know why i hated it. it took me years to figure out what the real problem was and to find the kind of work that aligned with my passions and avoided the things i didn't like about it while also along the way changing my feelings about some aspects (9-5 looks less bad when other factors are good (i still avoid it though)).

You can get a 2 door 6ft bed Tacoma. It does have "back seats" but nobody's going to want to ride in them for more than 10 minutes. You can also get an F150 with just two seats and a 6.5ft bed. But yeah, physically, any pickup today is significantly bigger than one made in the 80s or 90s.

There may be someone coming, seeing the door is closed, and just leaving a note for maintenance to fix it when you aren't around.

They may also be using those sensors to know if someone opens your door while you're out of the hotel and/or without an authorized keycard, which might mean a robbery attempt.

Goldman CEO Apologizes to Malaysia for Leissner's 1MDB Role
Thanks for responding. Progress is being made on lawns, but I don't think you're going to be able to get rid of the golf courses in the near future. We're told that Millennials are killing golf so it might happen in another 40 years... I won't miss it. Lawns and golf courses aren't the only reasons that cities need water.

As I hinted with the dairy comment, alfalfa is a more problematic crop for Arizona than tepary beans and Chapalote.
Simple: there will always be active investors.

With the progress AI is making, I predict a future where humans-run firms will mostly go out of business. What will emerge are companies that are great at training models that then act as active investors. These models bet against each other and some emerge as winners.

Ultimately, the models that make the most bank (sorry couldn't resist) will be the ones smart enough to make its decisions based on public data from companies, social media etc.

It does NOT take an economic fairy tale to determine precisely how the situation plays itself out.

For example, it's not as though the occupants of SF are going to be satisfied living in a city without access to bars and restaurants, no matter how wealthy they are. There are bars and restaurants in SF as it stands, are their staffs all living in subsidized affordable housing? No. For one, they simply get paid more than outside of the city, because things cost more. They get larger tips because people make more money, and have larger bills to tip on. While some might be subsidized with rent control, others live with roommates, or they live outside of the city. There are any number of circumstances they find themselves in, but the point is that it is worth it to them to be able to work in the city. If it was not, they would not work here. And if they did not work here, their wages would go up in order to fill the demand. And let's take this even further. What if their wages go up so high that the drinks and food begin to cost a very undesirably high amount to the residents? Well then, that begins to affect the desirability of living in the city. Suddenly less people want to live here, because the cost of living is so high. And when less people are competing to live here, rent starts to go down, and so do wages, and prices. The entirety of the system is in stabilizing flux as a consequence of this.

If we're actually arriving at situations where people are making a two and half hour commute as a consequence of them having no alternative options (which is not the same as them making the commute because of better opportunities), then we agree that we're no longer dealing with a viable model. I used to do a 1.5 hour commute each way, every day, for over a year, because it was worth it to me to live in that particular area rather than being closer to my work. If what you're suggesting is that their only options are effectively capable of exploiting them due to no alternatives, you're effectively describing an overall employment crisis. Given a system-wide lack of employment opportunities, which is certainly not the reality we currently find ourselves in, then we surely agree that there is an appropriate role for the state to fulfill in mitigating the situation. But that still doesn't mean that we agree that affordable housing is the correct mechanism for addressing this problem, which we surely do not.

1% sounds crazy expensive to me.
Do you have keto breath on whole of Tuesday? I work with people and probably can’t do this.. but very interested.
I think there is evidence that in some cases targeted advertising works fairly well. In the book, "The Power of Habit," for instance, it goes into the Target story about their marketing to expecting mothers. This for instance is an opportunity for marketers and businesses to acquire new customers at a point in their life when they're likely to shop somewhere else and become regular customers.

They were able to do this by analyzing purchasing patterns and according to the book were fairly successful.

I'd imagine that online tracking when combined with other sources of data provide a lot of insight into what customers are looking for and in some cases can provide a big payoff.
Neurons Surprise Researchers with Unexpected Abilities
This makes no sense whatsoever. The state does not have sufficient resources to provide the services it has already committed to. The annual deficit is more than a trillion dollars. Suppose we were willing to double this to purchase securities, and further suppose that this had no knock on effects for security prices. It would still take half a decade to buy just the assets held by Vanguard. Although this is large, this is still far smaller than the assets in the public markets overall. At best you'd have achieved ownership of a small fraction of the means of production. But in exchange your sovereign debt would be staggering. It probably just wouldn't be possible, because nobody would be willing to lend enough money for such a project.

> must let you cancel subscriptions online

When I had a Xbox I remember that it was SUPER easy to register for Xbox Live Gold (online, done in a few mins, right from the console itself!), but then when you wanted to cancel... there was no menu anywhere. You had to go to the website, find an obscure page with a phone number you had to call, and spend 10 mins on the line with a representative to cancel your subscription.

Needless to say, that was the last time ever Microsoft got my money with the Xbox.
None of the advice presented here is good at all... "divide the room into quadrants and search each quadrant"? Why?

The article answers that:

Splitting the room into sections will help you to systematically and meticulously go through the room and clear each section without skipping over any of the fine details.

This strategy is generally known as “divide and conquer”.
Wow. I never thought of it that way, but this is so true.

I'm interested in this question: would the US economy be where it is today without index funds? Or is it the index funds like Vanguard that allowed millions of Americans a cheap, safe way to predictably grow their wealth?

The reason I ask is that throughout American history, its the banking sector that was responsible for financial crises and a loss of wealth for most Americans. Have index funds plugged this hole and allowed the US to grow?

Yeah yeah I know about 2008 etc. but that _was_ caused mostly by active investors.
It wouldn't provide index fund services, it would literally own the funds and thus the assets.

WA has no state income tax (corporate or personal), so I can only assume GP's wish is for Seattle to get its way and impose its own income tax despite being against the state constitution. While we're wishing maybe we can go a step further and liberate/extricate Seattle as its own sovereign city-state, or at least as something on par with full-fledged states like Wyoming that can make decisions independent of other states if not independent of the federal union...
Do you understand the concept of "logical validity" [1]? The argument you stated is valid if "dangerous" means exactly the same thing in each and every clause. That doesn't mean the premises (in particular the first one) are true.

Yes, but to be affordable at least at first there has to be a subsidy for those middle income people to be able to afford it. Either you directly pay developers their profit that they don’t get by charging market rates (a subsidy), or they allow earners to get loans. Median price is 900k on the east side, and even at the top of middle income (124k, family of four) you can’t afford a house anywhere near that median. How do you fill that gap?
Cities change. Populations swell and subside. It would be nice if the places we hold dear could stay the same as we have always known them, but they can’t. If that is what you’re after moving farther away from urban centers will be the key.
Yet somehow people still manage to buy and sell houses in the UK where buyers have no agent representing them. Buyers pay a fixed or hourly fee to a lawyer for conveyancing and sellers pay 1-1.5% to their listing agent. Overall costs seem to end up well under half that in the US (5-6% of sale price).
