As one of the posters mentioned I have a VA loan.

0% down with a 3.5% interest rate - you don't pay PMI with a VA loan and $0 down ($8k total in closing costs which were mainly taxes). This is the biggest aid in building wealth as we were able to save everything (minus moving costs) from the sale of our previous home.

Right now NFCU estimated our property taxes high so our mortgage is $2100. Next year our property taxes will drop due to LA exemptions that will drop our mortgage down to $1800 - 1900 range.

I have well water so no costs there, electric and gas are $150 combined a month, this is the highest we will pay due to A/C in the summer. Also no pool - lawn is being transformed into a functional space, garden of vegetables and fruits with chickens.

Plenty of places to locally travel; Japan is a little stretch for us so we will see. Walking distance from my house is local jazz/blues hall, been here since 1885. Every other Saturday from 6 - 9pm you can sit and listen to live music, get a plate of fried chicken/catfish with jambalya, greens, potato salad/colslaw, cornbread, and cake for $20 a person ($10 entry, $10 for food). Plenty of festivals which are free offering a range from Festival Acadiens et Creoles 2 hours away to Blues and BBQ in downtown New Orleans next weekend. So our costs here are around $150 for weekend family fun, some weekends we stay at home as we need a break.

All in all $3k a month is spot on which in Lousiana goes far. Plenty of culture, arts, food, and outdoor activities.
Anyone else amazed at the profound symbolism of this? It seems like China gives so much more thought to symbolism than we do in the West.
It’s only a “no win” if you consider losing business with an autocratic nation responsible for mass violation of human rights to be “losing”.
At least polkit is a policy engine that tries to enforce security based upon what you're doing rather than which command you run. Sudo is a broken design IMO, I only ever use it locally to run all root commands so I don't accidentally nuke an important system directory.

Polkit isn't great, but it's also been given the hard job of trying to retrofit policy based security to a system that was not designed with that in mind. But with sudo, so many commands in linux are such a swiss army knife of options that I think its incredibly easy to open up priviledge escalation by adding a seemingly innocent command to somebodies sudoers.

I lived in Sears house for about a year in the 1990s. It seemed like a fine house. It turned into a punk house at that point and the plumbing couldn't hold up to that but I suspect with normal use it would have been fine for a while longer.
That's simply not true. Empty plots sell for MUCH less than half the cost of homes in the area.
Sargon of Akkad: The Rise and Fall of an Empire
It does, but some disclaimers:
1. The generated policies have Resources set to all, not to a specific resource ARN
2. It downloads all of the CloudTrail logs. This takes a while. Cloudtracker (https://github.com/duo-labs/cloudtracker) uses Amazon Athena, which is more efficient. In the future, I'd like to see a combined approach between all three of these tools to generate IAM policies based on Cloudtrail logs.
3. It is accurate to the point where there is a 1-to-1 mapping with the IAM actions vs CloudTrail logs. As I mentioned in other comments, since not every IAM Action is logged in CloudTrail and not every CloudTrail action matches IAM Actions, the results are not always accurate.

With that being said, it is a wicked tool and you should try it out.
M4A has everything to do with this.

Millions of Americans have and are being harmed financially and or physically by this patchwork mess.

The other thing you notice is insurers treat people who they know will cost them much differently.

M4A will centralize most of this and will distribute cost and risk as widely as possible
I run 3 nodes. They have 1TB traffic cap per month, so they serve 30GB per day per node, and then hibernates. It costs 15$ per month to run. I also use those nodes for personal use, so it’s not that expensive.

Also I’ve convinced my company to run nodes with their VPS credit. 6 nodes, 30GB per day per node. It costs them 30$.
I think the problem is like this:

Blizzard creates art/items/events specifically catering to LGBTQ, with the concept that in modern western countries this is not a controversial stance but the only decent stance.

Then, at an event, a tournament winner is given a chance to speak and calls for democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.

Blizzard's response to this is ban him, take his prize away, ban the tournament casters for some reason (who did nothing at all, AFAIK).

The takeaway people get from these actions is "Blizzard projects the image that they care about social issues, but in reality they will shut you down hard if those issues cost them a penny."
So if the U.S. makes a law that fines companies for criticizing the president, and then Blizzard fires an employee for criticizing the president to avoid the fine, it's Blizzard's decision in the end and everything's fine? I don't know if you have considered the implications of this logic.

I'd be very careful of making statements like that. Confirmation bias is a very dangerous thing. How many well adjusted home schooled people have you met without realizing or remembering they were home schooled?

You have to look at studies to have any hope of fairly evaluating the efficacy of home school.

For example, create a replica of their Lady Liberty and put it on the roof of the conference center or nearby hotel:

Or recreate "FREE HK" in neon lights and display somewhere prominent near Blizzcon:

All of the press releases state that cars are banned. In fact, taxis are still allowed (except for Uber and Lyft). As a daily bike commuter on Market street, this is hugely disappointing. There's very few cars on Market already, and taxis are the most dangerous of those left.
I'm pretty sure the lack of realism in medieval art has to do with the commandment against worshiping false idols.
For months, I've been seeing this headline in Google News, repeatedly blocking sites promoting it, only to have new sites pop up.

Not recent, but not “NEVER”.
Sure, but all the activities the OP complains about - parent teacher conferences, kindergarten/classroom tours, etc. all require the actual teachers involvement so it seems perfectly reasonable that those activities would occur during regular working hours. Plenty of schools offer before/after care for families with working parents so that they can drop-off/pick up their kids before/after work. I don't think that is an issue for anyone. But I think it is unreasonable to expect teachers at schools to work outside normal hours just for the convenience of parents with jobs who can't even take a few hours off work for things that they obviously deem important. That's an unreasonable burden to place on teachers, and in general seems like a waste of taxpayer money if they had to be paid overtime just to accommodate a small fraction of parents.
It also helps to see some of these modern artworks in person. Rothkos are huge! And seeing the thickness of the paint on a Pollock really adds to it.

Isn't "engineered wood" created from wood scraps glued together, which is prone to Formaldehyde off gassing?

Weird state of the world we're in where natural wood planks are being replaced with this garbage.
the difference in cost between a plot with and without a house is not an honest way to gauge BOM cost; there is value in the effort, permitting, and planning.

How does one find a reputable online vendor? I think a lot of people are scared of the dark web because of how hard it is to avoid being tracked online these days. And even then, how much do you trust the guy who's clearly operating illegally?
California politics make me think it's a dangerous place to buy real estate.

It’s more of a stunt or wholesale type thing.

A normal manufactured home is a much better value, and includes things like code compliance and plumbing.
> I really regret not having more openness and ability to grasp these things before.

Ironic - modern art has such a lack of this same openness, that the classic techniques it despises were nearly lost. It was not enough for modern art to be accepted - classical art had to be driven out from contemporary galleries:

The Slade school in London used to be world-famous for turning out fine British draftsmen. A distinguished British painter who taught at the Slade asked me, 'How did you learn how to do animation?' I answered that I was lucky enough to have done a lot of life drawing at art school, so without realizing it I got the feeling for weight which is so vital to animation.

Then I said, 'What am I telling you for? You're teaching at the Slade and it's famous for its life drawing and excellent draftsmen.'

'If the students want to do that,' he said, 'then they've got to club together and hire themselves a model and do it in their own home.' At first I thought he was joking - but no! Life drawing as a subject went out years ago. It wasn't even on the curriculum!

This is good advice. The swaying trees are etched into my memory from events well more than a decade back. Also be watchful not to straddle the line between explorative and habit-forming.
But in the West it is expected that token political statements are to be allowed and protected. "Free HK" isn't a particularly complex political statement, and it is over a topic which Westerners think is unfairly suppressed.

A similar comparison would be if Saudi Arabia had Blizzard ban someone for saying "Don't execute rape victims."

When I first read this article, I had a vision of a mixed use pedestrian and cyclist space in place of the street, like one long thin plaza.

If cars are allowed to cross the road perpendicularly, will there be any significant effects from this change?
Because San Francisco is being ran by radicals.
I don’t believe this is accurate - Aurora has maintenance windows:

Nope, I very much believe that Blizzard wanted to appease China. I just think they had a good reason to ban the guy and don't support what he did.

Wat. The comment you replied to is below 0. Maybe put down your tinfoil hat and explain what this is supposed to mean? IF my comment gets upvoted it's .. because China is hijacking HN? Whereas if it's downvoted that is The Obviously Right Thing™?

Show HN: C# or Not – Deep Learning
There's a few problems with this viewpoint:

1. Do we want to figure out who to blame, or do we want to fix the problem? You're blaming the people who watch the videos, but that doesn't lead to any solution to what is a pervasive problem in our society.

2. If we must play the blame game, then at least let's be nuanced about it. Sure, it's my personal responsibility if I make the poor choice to start smoking, but cigarette companies are responsible for producing a product that kills people. These are two separate actions: one done by me, and one done by a corporation. We're each responsible for our own action, and neither one is good.
Are parent/teacher conferences not built into the schedule as working hours? If I recall correctly from my mother, who was a school teacher, they did these twice a year and those eight hours were counted as one of the days that they worked in their contract. Maybe that is not universally negotiated.

As she was a special ed teacher, she also had a whole slate of other meetings with parents to go over IEPs and testing, and if those were before 8 am or after 3 pm, she was paid an hourly rate for those meetings.
Reading the link and examples, it's basically an interpersonal application of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concepts.
The problem is the Chinese fans are also using Mei for patriotic messages now, especially after the voice actress sided with China.

It is surprising they couldn’t think of any business model where they don’t need to kill the chicken laying eggs. People participating there already gave away their contacts, location, interest. How about just ads with sponsors with matching interests? How about rev share where organizers support sponsors? How about recommending interesting audience to sponsored events? May be users can opt out of ad supported model if they pay subscription?
Think about the potential chargebacks. Lots of risk for seller.
I'm sure I'm in a small minority of the general public (though maybe not HN?) but I don't want Facebook to know about my meetup/event interests. It's not so much that I hate being tracked by Facebook though I do. For me it's more about just not wanting event stuff mixed in with my friends and family feed. They're separate things to me. I could also be I might not want to share what meetups I'm going to with friends and family.

No the point is that there are other voting reform laws that will have an actual effect on improving representation and don't have the practical effect of preventing black people from voting. I'm suggesting the problems we have with voting rights in this country are not caused by failing to require ID at polling stations. I'm not opposed to voter IDs in a theoretical sense, it just seems like either a unimportant or disingenuous thing to do first.
To me this sounds line a great way to give teachers non-curricular overtime pay. It’s good for all parties involved to have a face-to-face relationship, and a way for our public school teachers to supplement their income if they so desire.
I'm not sure how symbolic it is, it's not like the US is going to arrest a Harvard student who is also the daughter of the Chinese dictator for political reasons.
"As someone driving, you should never drive faster than what you can see ahead and be able to stop in time. I kind of imagine what I'd like to call a "meteor" incident. Would I be able to stop in time if a meteor randomly crashed just outside of my vision ahead in a turn? If not - probably going too fast."

Seems like you've ignored what I just wrote in the previous comment. If I make a turn just as a car is barely out of sight, then at 40 mph there is just enough time to go before it hits me, assuming my car doesn't stall or something. If it is going much faster, say 80, then there would not be enough time. If I have no model of other drivers, and assume anything can happen outside my vision, which is what you seem to be expressing by the word "meteor" then there is no way I can make a turn in either direction safely at all, ever. The only way a person can deal with everyday situations is to assume roughly "normal" behavior (both in a social sense and in terms of physical law) and act accordingly.
Most people with jobs —even low paying jobs have newish smartphones and tablets.

As someone who occasionally has to work with the working poor, I can tell you this is completely false.

Here's one example: I work in healthcare. We can't send text messages to people about their medical conditions, etc... because a startling number of working poor families not only have only a flip phone, but that phone is shared among several families.

Let me state that again: A single flip phone will be used by eight to ten people in three or four different families.

To think that anyone with a job just has a computer/table/smartphone lying around for their kid to do his homework on is just living in a fantasy land.
Because it's fairly common to signal boost someone who you may or may not agree with, and having the information can be useful for someone who previously was unaware?

Nothing is as good as in person. I recall seeing the Mona Lisa in person later in life and being shocked at how small it was, and turning around and seeing how massive The Wedding Feast at Cana was. It completely...sorry for this...reframes your impression of things relative to books and photos. I envy people who live in places with so much culture accessible.

Been on my reading list for a while. Thanks for creating this great synopsis!
> Tesla doesn't exactly have much leverage here.

Ionity: "As of September 2019, IONITY has 140 stations live".

Tesla: "1,636 Supercharger Stations with 14,497 Superchargers".

I don't think Ionity operates from such incredible leverage position as you imagine them to be, and I think they will have to burn through quite a few billions dollars to match Tesla's capacity. It remains to be seen if those billions of dollars will materialize, but there's no reason not to wish them well - any additional capacity, whether it comes from ChargePoint, evGo, ChargeNow, Volta, etc. is a net positive.

With that said, Tesla will probably open up to third parties at some point, provided they can bill on their terms, and they can manage capacity to prioritize Tesla owners.

Supercharger overload at popular destinations is probably one of the most common recurrent complaints in the owner groups.
Most countries, and even many in the West, don’t actually care. I think HN and Reddit are a echo chamber in this regard. None of my friends have stopped playing and they are now talking about the “next outrage” like Catalonia or the Extinction Protests in London.

I recommend watching The Search for General Tso. It's a documentary following the Chinese in America with the lens being on the the General Tso dish, in a very similar line to the article.
> But in the West it is expected that token political statements are to be allowed and protected.

Is that so? I could imagine a huuuge amount of political statements that are illegal in my home country, Germany. Since I was raised there these rules are ingrained in me: "Free Speech" is not a thing (if we compare it to the US) and - that's the important part - I don't DISAGREE with that.

> "Free HK" isn't a particularly complex political statement

Is it not? I truly, honestly, don't know how complex that is in the end, compared to - say - supporting Texas leving the US, Bavaria leaving Germany, Basque leaving Spain (note I'm not comparing these countries with China at all, I'm just wondering if a separation argument can be simple)

> and it is over a topic which Westerners think is unfairly suppressed.

I wasn't aware of that

> A similar comparison would be if Saudi Arabia had Blizzard ban someone for saying "Don't execute rape victims."
