> we've had 12% yearly rental increases for a decade straight now, despite living in bumblefudge-nowhere Midwest

Quick math for the rest of you out there: That means they paid 1000 in 2009 and now pay ~3500 in 2019.

Also, yes, I feel you there. Our rental agreement states a mandatory 10% increase if you rent from year to year. I've no idea why the company is this stupid though. The rents around us are falling or staying steady these days. So we just move to the block over every year and the old place stays empty for 3 months before then being rented out for the same or less than we paid. I'm sure there is some tax thing involved here that makes it so they don't have to care all that much.

Also, yeah, we don't have a lot, and we can just move houses in about a weekend in my 4-door.

I really wish my city would ban Airbnb with the exception being that you must reside in the household you are looking to rent out, as in, a literal bed and breakfast.

Our rental market is absolutely cut-throat right now. Affordable rentals on realtor.ca aren't lasting more than a couple days after they go up.
You don’t even need elevators. In most cities it’s possible to build and maintain small concrete rooms in a single story structure with an exterior wall and make a profit renting them out for less than ~$40/month. The issues come from zoning, rent seeking, and regulation.
I would love to see this feature added to CentOS/RHEL. In the past, we used NFS Diskless which is anything but diskless. Hacking together an initrd that loads everything into ram is, well, hacky. To have a dracut function or a toggle to enable this would be great for lightweight deployments, testing, labs, vagrant, etc... I'm sure that RHEL must have been contemplating it because there is /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root unless that was just a better way to do NFS diskless...

I'm right there beside you - I'm coming on two years of home ownership, and I'm not terribly enjoying it. I love the neighbourhood, but I just don't think I'm cut out for home ownership. I've had more problems in 2 years of home ownership than I had in a decade of renting. It's cost a ton more money. Is it an investment? Possibly, but I've sunk a fair bit into it as well. I now wake up on Saturday mornings with a list of things that I "really need to get to". It's been terrible for my mental health, and I don't know if my bank account will ever reflect the extra mental strain.
Other countries are surely impacted, and probably under other brand names.

We’ve had more than our fair share of whirlpool and Frigidaire appliances under various brand names over the years.

They’re mostly (universally?) awful, though some of the planned obsolescence mechanisms are ingenious. Note they think that 90% of the ones sold have already died and been thrown out for some other reason. I’d bet these fires are an intentionally sabotaged mechanism triggering an otherwise minor fault.

Anyway, here is a list of North American brands presumably affected by this recall, since they all come from the same upper management chain:

Admiral (Canada)

Chambers

Coovert (ac's)

Crosley (top-load/current front-load washers)

Dacor ( 13 )

Danby ( 8 )

Estate

Inglis

Ikea

Kenmore ( see Sears )

KitchenAid ( 4 )

Kirkland

Maytag Epic®

Roper

Speed Queen (Canada only)

Sub Zero (undercounter ice makers)

Whirlpool

Honestly, what is the holdup on releasing the source? Other languages are developed entirely out in the open - what are you worried about? Why not just release it today in whatever state it's in, as was previously promised?

Without releasing it you're expecting people to put blind faith in you.

The thought with a few commercial Airbnb people I know is that, at least in major Canadian cities, the demand for living in Canada won't allow this to happen. What's more likely are controls that will be put into place to extract more of the profit, making it less profitable to run such a business, in order to fund displacement from gentrification and low-income housing projects. This is however one of those invisible beasts that has enough people + Airbnb as an organization aligned to lobby politicians to push back against any legislation that will harm their profits.
So half of the students were randomly given a free VPN connection. They were informed that their browsing activities through the VPN would be monitored for the study. This seems a poor study to draw conclusions about the demand for uncensored information.

The censorship regime must have a hugely chilling effect. No-one wants to get sent to a re-education camp or have their social credit score crater. Why would a rational person run the risk of those consequences?

And if they were to learn the extent of their government's manipulation of their reality, what are they supposed to do with that information? The study says there were low rates of the participant's roommate learning censored information. If I'd been peeking at information I knew could harm my career and freedom, why on earth would I tell people about it?

To me, what this study is really saying is that internet censorship is not just a technological process, it's also a social process.

Language author here; I work on a modern flavor of a classic 90s language.

There are three problems. The first is that closed languages die [0]. V is not Free Software, which is disappointing but not atypical; however, V is not even open source, which precludes a healthy community. Additionally, closed languages tend to have bad patterns like code dumps over the wall, poor community communication, untrustworthy binary behaviors [1], and delayed product/feature releases. Yes, it's certainly embarrassing to have years of history on display for everybody to see, but we all apparently have gotten over it. What's hiding in V's codebase? We don't know. As a best guess, I think that the author may be ashamed of the particular nature of their bootstrap.

The second is that V's author makes promises and claims which are then retracted, falsified, or untestable. Most notably, source for V's toolchain has been teased repeatedly as coming soon, but has never been released. Without an open toolchain, none of the claims made on V's front page [2] can be verified.

Finally, because we can't not talk about it, V isn't a very compelling language. At best, it could be seen as an iterative improvement on Go. If V were more open, then we could make more sincere and complete comparisions, but as it is, V's author alone gets to control the comparisons [3] and benchmarks [4]. Maybe the best argument to be made is that there is room for a series of languages which focus on compile speed, where languages like Go, Jai, and V compete based primarily on how quickly they can transform zero-cost abstractions into low-level code in a single pass.

...But if that's the game, then it's only a matter of time until one of them rediscovers FORTH...

Sounds like the TOTP apps need an encrypted import/export capability, kind of like what HSM's have (including Yubikeys and TPM's.) You have one TOTP app generate a key pair, give you the public key, which the other TOTP app uses to generate an encrypted blob out of the stored codes, which only the target TOTP app can decrypt.

Since modern phones are getting TPM's, it's even becoming possible to do this without any private keys being accessible to the apps.
I think the mechanism is that it's installed in a normal persistent fashion, but per-boot you can opt-in to loading the current install into memory.
I’ve never had these problems on my thinkpad running Linux. Why does my phone have to mitigate them?
> And if you need absolute correctness (when human life depends on the software) you would probably use Ada and Spark or something else that enables you to actually prove correctness.

That's not even absolutely correct, because provability depends on correct preconditions, and there is a universe of incorrect preconditions that can throw a wrench into your provable system.

Your completely 'proven' system fails, when there's a short in jump resistor J35 on the motherboard, which invalidates the entire underpinning of the software system you assume to have.

For critical systems, you should strive for resiliency and failovers, not provability.
Why would this be useful?
It's all shits and giggles until you realize that on the day you decide to keep off premises backups of your production environment on the day off and you realize you short sided on that. It might not be the case with an enterprise-y budget, but when working with SMB's/start-ups, so small shops think photos, videos, music, even accountants, and healthcare. It's more of a gotcha that people need to plan and forecastfor, as you said people should be more computer savvy, but sometimes when you order tomatoes, you don't tomahtohs.
Vancouverite here. The biggest trouble is that our economy now really depends on that dirty money. The biggest sector of the BC economy (almost 20%) is real estate and the next one is construction with 8%. So banning that would mean losing roughly a third of the budget income, let alone most mortgages going under. On the other hand, continuing it would make property ownership pretty much out of reach for anyone without external capital flowing in. Tough spot.
Using "we" in any public announcement, writeup, blog post, etc. is always in danger of sounding contrived.

The Magic is gone when you stop challenging yourself and you start looking more outwards than inwards. You have to think crazy ideas and work on them. Most of my side projects are still magically, folks tell me I'm crazy or it's impossible, and the first thing they almost always ask is "How will it work" Of course, the magic is gone once I explain it. Understanding takes away the magic, might be a good thing for you, it might mean you're grown and can now understand more and many things.
That's not necessarily true. There aren't enough linguists out there (especially those fluent in any given language pair) to be able to vet such purported connections.

That said, it's very common for people to notice superficial word coincidences in modern languages and think it implies a relationship. To demonstrate an actual relationship you need to go back to early versions of the two languages, come up with clear sound change rules for how words in one correspond to words in the other (languages change pronunciation over time and words shift in ways that are regular to the language; it's highly unlikely for words to stay identical across two related languages; instead you tend to have a set of sound change rules that tell you how to transform words from one language to get what the corresponding word in the other language is mostly like).

Depends on do you want to learn DS & Algo for job interviews? Or are you genuinely interested in adding tools in your tool belt.

For the first you learn about a couple common paradigms like dynamic programming, some graph algo & ds like BFS/DFS, shortest path algorithms, backtracking etc... and just do a lot of leet code problems. The more of these you do, the better you get at them, because most of them can be solved faster by knowing techniques (like using two pointers at either end for some array based problems) etc...

For the second one, you try to learn about the landscape of DS & Algo. For example, i know about the existence of red black trees, why they were invented, types of problems you can solve with them, but i won't be able to implement them from memory or without using references (even then it might take me a while). For the second type of learning, i would just do CLRS chapter by chapter, or watch any of the numerous algorithm courses on youtube from MIT, Stanford, ArsDigita. The second type of learning lets you understand and gain an appreciation for the tools you use everyday as a developer. For example, studying B-Trees will let you appreciate how rdbms are able to retrieve information so fast.

Ideally, a good developer would be well versed in DS & Algo landscape and be able to solve leetcode problems fast, but i think #2 is more necessary to becoming a better developer, although #1 helps more in the job market.
Then they've lost money.

The important thing to understand is "clearance and settlement". Banks either maintain accounts with each other ("nostro/vostro accounts") or, within a country, at the central bank. So e.g. Halifax and Monzo will have accounts at the Bank of England.

Settlement will either be immediate or delayed. For immediate, at the same time as Halifax is sending a "please credit £10 to Bob" message to Monzo, they will send a message to the Bank of England to transfer £10 between their account and Monzo's.

For delayed settlement, the banks wait until the end of the day, add up the total money in each direction, subtract the difference, and transfer that.

A lot of work goes into making sure all the necessary entries line up. So, in the example, if the bank sent a payment message but didn't debit their user's account, either they would have made the central bank transfer (in which case they've lost £10 and effectively given it to their user's account), or they haven't, in which case Monzo will notice and demand payment for the discrepancy.

Banking is eventually consistent, and has been for centuries.

Firstly, one wouldn't have to use the "close on paper" if spare parts, or real specs, were actually available.

Secondly, as analog electronics, where the non-compliance argument might matter, are generally built of devices with 5-20% tolerances. Close enough is usually close enough, if you can get the right specs to start with.

Thirdly, the parts of modern communication networks that can actually be affected by component choice is a miniscule part, of the complete systems. Sincr almost no modern communication device is built with more than a few discreet devices around a special RF chip, you really can only repair it with the same chip, and trivially replaceable components.

I can go on. Yes, there are certifications, sometimes they are important and necessary, but usually they are there for business reasons. To create lock-in, or otherwise increase revenue, or to avoid blame by making it look like you care.

I have yet to see an industry certification which has not clearly put in place for a business reason.

For non-industry certifications, there would be no difference in who does the repair, re-certification would be necessary, and society aldready handles this in areas where it's actually needed for safety reasons.
What's also interesting is the article claims that the Mediterranean look is out of style -- which I totally agree with -- but that house is decidedly not Mediterranean. It's more of a Tutor style, which is an trendy in high-end homes right now.

The thing I've noticed is that in my area all the modest neighborhoods (2 bed, 1 bath, sub $200k) are being bought up by landlords. This leads to a neighborhood of renters, which is a lot different than a neighborhood of owners. The Havers can buy a lot more houses than the Have-Nots and I'm left wondering what the price of single family homes would be if renting them was illegal and they were all placed on the market.

Always? I don't believe that to be the case. I haven't read _every_ piece written on anti-vaccination, but have read a lot about it and can't recall even one making this assertion. Of course that doesn't mean that it's _never_ been asserted, but I have a hard to believing that it's _always_ being asserted.
I think you are missing the parent's point. It's not just a matter of "secure/trusted" or "not secure/trusted". You could trust your password manager but that doesn't mean that compromise is impossible.

I built something like this back in 2002 when I was at Red Hat for a client that wanted to have their firewalls to have read-only configurations on a diskless system. They would update the rules/config/system by burning a new CD and booting it up.

It worked basically how a Live CD worked - creating a temporary filesystem in ram, and I only learned later that they already existed (I didn't know at the time and the Internet wasn't as good at finding things as it is today :) )

> (The three spec editors are all Googlers. Webkit seem to have some doubts about some aspects of the design.)

Here's my issue with a browser monoculture. With 3 or 4 major browsers, it was easy to tell what features would survive. The specs were never great at that -- there were some early spec'd features that never got widely implemented. But any feature that could convince people at Google + Microsoft + Apple + Mozilla to all implement it would be around for a long time.

With Microsoft switching to a Chrome-based engine, this is a valuable data point we've lost. Essentially, instead of new features being opt-in by default, they're opt-out. We've seen it before: when one browser has a majority market share, nobody else can afford to tell them an idea is bad.
