This is also happening south of Carrollton, GA for small 10-25 acre "farms". Cheapest "state" university in Georgia (UWG, Comp. Sci, Nursing). We thought we were finding a reasonable quiet area that would never appreciate (or at least not much) just outside of Atlanta. Airport is 40 minutes away, we both do remote work (me 3 days/week, wife 5 days week). Unfortunately this year the area has exploded. Homes in the 200k-300k range are selling quickly (used to be 12-18 month sales cycle). Most new homes are in the 400-500k range with 5 acres...still ok but they don't even have barns or out buildings. Soon this area is going to be out of most peoples' price ranges as well. Property has gone from 3.5k per acre for lots under 15 acres to 8-10k an acre and looks to go even higher. Carrollton was a hidden gem. The only thing keeping it from exploding is that internet access can be limited depending upon the area.
You can use RDBMS for anything that requires complex relationships and map them to unique identifiers in the Mongo documents.

In most cases though, Mongo fits use cases, we never try to use it as a wholesale RDBMS replacement.

Such a great conference. It is awesome to see GraphQL community grow and mature over the years.

Quick plug - If you're interested in mocking your API in test as described in the "build your own graphql tools", my company just released a library that lets you do that more easily than with `graphql-tools`. We've been using internally for months in our UI tests. Hopefully you find it useful.

I find it funny how I look at the RP4 and think, I don't need anything new.

However, if you needed massive amounts of data transfer + multithreaded IOT, this would do the job.

Open Letter to the Booking.com CEO
It's amazing how politicians like this propose these types of things and never look to see if anyone else has tried it because we have the perfect example, Sweden: "In January 1984, Sweden introduced a 0.5% tax on the purchase or sale of an equity security. Hence, a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction resulted in a 1% tax. The tax applied to all equity security trades in Sweden using local brokerage services as well as to stock options."

As for the results: "revenues from these taxes were disappointing. For example, revenues from the tax on fixed-income securities were initially expected to amount to 1,500 million Swedish kronor per year. They did not amount to more than 80 million Swedish kronor in any year and the average was closer to 50 million. In addition, as taxable trading volumes fell, so did revenues from capital gains taxes, entirely offsetting revenues from the equity transactions tax that had grown to 4,000 million Swedish kronor by 1988" [0].

Your solution isn't very realistic at all, because good jobs in most industries tend to be consolidated in specific geographic areas.
It's not a matter of "perfect fairness" versus "workable compromise." Sanders' proposal epitomizes everything that's wrong with progressive liberals' attempts to implement a welfare state. While everyone else in the developed world treats middle and upper middle class people as the benefactor class, people like Sanders are convinced that the kid who took $150,000 in loans to attend a liberal arts college and now makes $80,000 a year as a journalist is the one entitled to welfare. This is a fundamentally flawed, unfair, and unprecedented approach to building a welfare state.

That is why you hear about free college, like Germany, and not one peep about what Germany's income tax brackets look like: http://www.worldwide-tax.com/germany/germany_tax.asp

Tax % Tax Base (EUR)
0 Up to 9,000
14% 9,001-54,949
42% 54,950-260,532
45% 260,533 and over

You see, in Germany, the guy making $80,000 is treated as a benefactor. He pays the 42% marginal income tax, 19% VAT, 7.5% social insurance contribution, etc. He doesn't get a $2.2 trillion windfall.

Yes, but you can pass those houses onto your children (and they can pass to theirs, etc.), and keep avoiding taxes until it actually sells (that's when there actually is a gain). So, just never sell it and keep it in the family and never pay capital gains.

The response to his claims of regulatory capture was the worst part for me. This a really bad look for ICANN.

Any regulatory organization should constantly be on their toes about possible capture. Anyone who rejects research on the matter with actual data and earnest intentions as "insulting" and "incivility" is very concerning.

There's people that have done some independent testing of audio outputs. The quality varies widely so paying a lot is one way to make sure you have good outputs. A lot of phones have notoriously weak/bad audio jacks. Some built in motherboard audio outputs suck as well.

However, in general, any dedicated audio card, even the cheapest soundblaster will have audio outputs just as good as extremely expensive audiophile stuff. Maybe not as much power output, but that only matters with high ohm headphones. Ditto with any Apple products, they've been known to have extremely high quality Cirrus Logic audio chips for a long time

People are so comfortable pumping the environment air, water and soil with fertilizers, pestisides, antibiotics, plastic, smoke and toxic waste. We have wiped out large areas of forests, over produce and waste food. Why is that we have suddenly become so sensitive when we want to connect waterways. Yes there can be ecological imbalances, but is a very small price to pay compared to all the horrors that we commit.
I'm an American in Munich, suburbs here are still walkable, bikeable, and often have a solid S-Bahn connection to the city center.

In America, most suburbs are bad for walking, actively hostile to biking, and have either no public transit or nearly unusable public transit.

The cities are usually not much better, either. Only a handful in the US have public transit that can even be called decent, let alone good.

There seems to be a progression of MBA-ification of the Internet domain name namespace management.

Originally, there was what seemed to be a custodian role, looking after the namespace. Then it seemed to possibly be getting confused as a profit center, with fees. Then ICANN happened. Then there was inexplicably created a bizarre cottage industry of numerous middleperson "registrars", effectively selling or renting domain names they didn't own. And a few big businesses, including Superbowl ads. Plus there were the squatters, of course, since no one was looking after the namespace anymore. Then an explosion of TLDs were sold. So now we have business people talking about "market share" of TLDs, and "consumer" options:

> Allowing .org and future domain names to move to market-based pricing makes sense with today’s healthy TLD market, which is populated with many choices for consumers to choose from. The .org domain name is well known as one of the first TLDs in the market available for public registration, but it still only holds 5.5 percent market share, with just over 10 million names in the .org space compared to almost 140 million domain names and 75 percent market share for .com.
I believe one serious social investigation should base on certain degrees understanding of the local culture and background. Regarding this study, it is the usage of internet and especially email in China, the widely spread of the lost and found office, the prove of returning the wallet equals to the honesty of the nation.

don't want to derail the RPi4 celebration, but for this specific purpose (media centre) I've been super happy with Nvidia Shield. You can often pick them up for $150 on a sale, less on ebay. 4k HDR, runs Android TV (some people have managed to get Ubuntu running on it too), VLC/Kodi work well, Moonlight works well for game streaming from another gaming PC with NVidia card. It's super zippy, too, and quite small (though bigger than RPi).

Sense data in itself can't be contradicted because it contains no propositions.

As for knowledge logically derived from the sense data--it is exactly the choice: "which logic should I choose to interpret this sense data?" that is in question.

If you choose a logic where all models are wrong and some are useful, then it won't contradict knowledge derived according to itself. If instead you choose some other way, you're again not going to run into any contradiction.

The choice of an epistemic theory can only be about utility. Truth and falsity can only come later because they must be expressed in terms of the chosen theory.
Wow, what a "Research"…… yet SCIENCE did publish it ?? So many factors being selectively ignored by the author and the reviewers, just to "Prove" a biased conclusion that chinese are unethical.
Generally speaking, flippers don't qualify for 1031 exchanges.

"In Barker v. U.S., a property purchased solely to exchange for other property was determined to not meet the “held for” requirement. Accordingly, if it is clear the intent was resale and not investment, then the transaction is ineligible for a 1031 tax deferred exchange."

Two thoughts...

First, compare practical law impacts if you look elsewhere. For example, in the US the gov can get email from providers that's more than 180 days old without a warrant.

Second, Fastmail like Google, Microsoft, and most others has access to your email. They comply with court orders for email like other providers. Fastmail has noted the gov doesn't need a backdoor to get to email. Same with other companies in other countries.

> More generally speaking, do we believe there's any value in having open platforms with platform-owners who aren't trying to police every single actor using the platform?

Amazon's not just an "open platform" here. Through deliberate features of their logistics system and customer-facing storefront, the primary branding on anything bought via Amazon is _Amazon's_.

Take for example the FBA program with shared stocking. Amazon relies on a supplier's assertion that their goods are not counterfeit and are identical to others of the same SKU, but it then repeats that representation to the consumer on Amazon's own behalf.

The advantage of Amazon's model is that it provides an integrated storefront, but it is not an "open platform" as a result. eBay is closer to an open platform, and there the difference between individual sellers is a first-order feature, where even sellers of identical goods manage their own listings and product descriptions.
No this isn't it at all, things are real bad right now, we need to take charge if we want a future and we should be preparing for the coming storm. Life is tough but we are tougher.
I was indeed referring to the section on text types in the manual. But I admit that I somehow lumped char and varchar together in my head while reading that section a couple of days ago. So you shouldn't ever use char (and only char) unless you have very specific requirements. This means that yes, I didn't get it straight.

I haven't used it yet, only have the PM2.5 hooked up right now. But for what it's worth I grabbed the Adafruit SGP30 breakout. I'm not going to be "happy" with it, since it's not a real CO2 sensor, but I don't have $1000 for a real sensor. Hopefully it'll be interesting regardless. The PM2.5 sensor for all its faults has at least given me a better idea of what activities around the house cause increases in particulate matter. It's not useful information, but it's fun and interesting.
I went to a totally normal high school and found it to be way more time-consuming and stressful than college. 7+ hours in school and one to two hours of homework much of it due the very next day plus some longer-term stuff you really ought to be working on? It was a very rare day in college when classes, coursework, and studying combined college took up 9 entire hours, and often it was way under that. High school was pretty much always 8 hours, minimum, five days a week. College was so much easier it was kinda shocking. Especially the required 1xx level classes outside my major, which comprised so much of my first year. It was like a vacation.

My high school was horribly inefficient, in other words, which ended up being stressful. I gather this is the norm. Meanwhile adults were telling me those were the best years of my life—I mean I wasn't really bullied and had a pretty decent high school experience and now that I'm older I sorta get what they meant but god damn, if that'd actually been true I should have offed myself. The "real world", and college, are easier than high school, which was difficult mostly because it was both hyper-authoritarian and wasted phenomenal amounts of time.
Email is totally old fashioned and out dated... Who the hell use email to contact the owner despite the convenience of IM and phone calls?
Won’t trust Science anymore.
Indeed, and just saying “physical illness” is pretty meaningless. Beyond that though, there’s sadly a lot more empirical data and practices behind medicine than psychology/psychiatry. You go to a doctor, you can get a diagnosis and effective treatment for many conditions in relatively short order. Therapy is generally the start of a years-long process. Psychiatry is more guesswork than science. That’s not to say they aren’t extremely helpful for many people, but I don’t see the two fields as being equivalent.

Learn You a Haskell for Great Good ends up being a taste thing for me. I didn't really enjoy it and preferred things that stayed in the pure areas of the language longer and tried to demonstrate more abstract math principles using Haskell as a language rather than CS focused data structures and manipulations (I found a discrete logic preprint book from somewhere that was much more enjoyable). Real World Haskell at the time was then a decent reference to trying to do real things.

I would certainly try it but it works kind of the same as gotour: if you want a worked example of a characteristic of the language for a specific thing it's great, if you are trying to get your hands around the language by working through it 'cover to cover' in a sense I felt like I wasn't achieving the level of understanding I hoped for.
Thank you for the comment. But the thing is... the researchers have obviously negelected that fact that there are countries where email is NOT that commonly used or the way they think it's used. It's not about being cynical; it's about being objective actually.
Fastmail could always have been compelled to give up the contents of their servers, just like any other company anywhere else. The new laws only change anything for end-to-end encrypted services where the servers never see the plaintext.

There have been many articles on rising suicide rates especially among kids and young adults, but they tend to not mention a very important possible factor. And that is antidepressants.

It is well known that antidepressants increase the risk of suicide for children, teenagers and young adults (i.e. people under 25). The FDA has acknowledged this and even put warnings on the drug packaging. Yet antidepressants are still routinely prescribed for children and teenagers.

This is something the media does not like to talk about considering how pharma companies spend a lot of money on advertising. But it is a very important possible factor and it should be considered.

This is a bit misleading, deaths by suicide can be quantified but the rates of diagnosis depend on people's and willingness and access to mental health resources.
