Using the word "boomer" isn't an inflammatory post. I am trying hard right now to not roll my eyes.

Above poster is right: the baby boomer generation set up this car culture, and they're still the ones in power. The younger generation is increasingly using other modes of transportation. (To the best of our ability, I mean it's literally not possible to avoid cars in much of America due to how city planning worked out). I, like others, don't have a favorable view of the boomers in power doing everything they can to make things worse for my generation and future generations.

It's actually hilarious to see how upset boomers are right now over a simple phrase "ok, boomer". Total schadenfreude. And millenials / gen z are supposedly the snowflake generation?
One $3M cash buyer doesn't change the taxable FMV on your house. That price isn't considered in assessments. Now if 10 houses in your neighborhood sold similarily and are roughly equivalent to your house, then your tax would go up. This actually happened in Palo Alto when Zuckerberg bought the houses around his home.

According to this: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/spectre-and-meltdown-ex...

> Presently, 13 Spectre variants and 14 Meltdown variants have been identified. Initially, AMD processors were thought to be immune to Meltdown, though one variant has been successfully demonstrated on AMD systems.

ONE variant. So technically true. But the situation on the Intel side is far worse.

Intel got way too greedy with their optimizations.

New York is a special case. Only city I have ever driven in where a police officer actively told me to drive into a crowded crosswalk because that was the only way you would ever get to take a left turn.
Sometimes there are no properties in a general area not subject to an HOA.

People don't always buy a home with an HOA because they want "facilities"; sometimes they buy a home with an HOA because they have little to no choice.

Excerpt:

"But Diablo doesn't have more dungeons, more bosses, etc. Players just play the same procession of levels on harder and harder difficulty levels, picking up better and better loot. In other words, the loot isn't just a helping hand towards their ultimate goal – better loot is the ultimate goal. And with the auction house, players found that the best way to obtain it was to just buy it.

And the next thing you know, they're not playing the game anymore. Why would they, when the reward structure that would otherwise motivate them to play was no longer there? Without the promise of better stuff, Diablo was all stick and no carrot."

This problem is already solved in World Of Warcraft - basically players can't buy specific items -- until they're of a certain level... But the items attained at a new level are only good/worthwhile to have - for a few levels after that one. That is, after a few levels of advancement, the advantage gained by possessing an item attained at a lower level diminishes (relative to other new/more powerful items attainable at those newer, higher levels), such that after a few levels, the item diminishes in its utility, and eventually it must, of necessity, be discarded as a piece of junk!

(Side note: Compare this to how upwardly economically mobile people will discard items that they once purchased that once served them well, because as they attain higher incomes, newer/better/more expensive replacement items can now be purchased by them! When that happens, the old, yet once-useful items, are "crap", by comparison, so they get discarded as trash...)

The problem is already solved -- in World Of Warcraft.
Was that EDLIN? I have some very vague memories
Yes, but when you pay off what you owe, the lien is lifted. And you agreed to the terms when you bought the property. Not even remotely the same thing as the state taking the property under force and profiting.
> So, we're talking about desktops not used to browse the internet, and bare metal servers whose network stacks aren't exposed to hostile actors?

To be fair the context here is HPC. Nobody is installing Chrome on something like IBM's Summit supercomputer. Nor is it running "untrusted" code. It's configured to go as fast as possible, nothing more.

Anyone in cloud hosting or desktop would be insane to not install spectre/meltdown fixes. But in this particular niche of HPC supercomputers it's actually reasonable to not have those mitigations.
The only way to achieve high availability is to have redundancy of all things.

It depends on your availability requirements, for me, it's more important and simpler to be able to deploy again(with data) under hour than dealing with HA.
I suspect that, at least in places with decent internet, something like ShadowPC negates the need for such a service. I rent a top of the line gaming PC for ~$25/month, and run my games in the cloud.

With what I used to spend keeping a gaming rig upgraded, it doesn't even make sense not to rent something that's always going to be state of the art.
By "taken" do they maybe mean "validated"?

Ideas are executed not "owned". The proof is in the doing.
In England we solve this problem by enumerating the allowable reasons upfront.

- You know the defendant.

- You know the victim or one of the witnesses.

- You know someone in the court room such as the lawyers, judge, etc.

- You have close family in the police service or prosecution service.

- The trial would cause you to serve for more than 2 weeks and you have a mitigating personal circumstance such as being a carer for someone.

Also lawyers are not allowed to question or reject jurors unless they think they are violating a rule.
The tiers are $50/$100/$500 a month with a goal of $5000 per month to spend half of his free time on development.

None of that specifically but read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher

Maybe not an opportunity for consoles per se (see cheeto comment), but maybe an opportunity for renting games from your neighbors. Heck, I could see this being extended online in quite a unique way. Cheaper renting some movie or game from someone who already owns it...

> Most people don't itemize now, that's true, but the IRS has no way to know who will itemize and who won't.

So just make the people who will itemize fill out a form and go through that whole process. Everyone else can just pay the bill and not worry about it.
I've found that IOU based tracking is surprisingly reliable (my dataset was primarily surveillance footage with a static camera) if you take measures to smooth the data and predict object motion using a kalman filter.
> If it goes to the right property, and you still don't pay, you aren't using the property enough to be allowed to have it, IMO.

That's not how property ownership works in America.
I would prefer if I didn't have to do that. Somehow other apps don't, and this was the first time I had to unblock something.
It seems like the minimal possible complexity of a sheet of fabric is always going to be higher than the minimal complexity of an engine simply because the physics of cloth are much harder to simulate accurate so you will never be able to find all the edge cases. Yes engines are initially more complex to build, but their minimum complexity once they are well understood should be lower -- even with the code needed to run them. You can't exact attach a debugger to the universe.
>> The alternative is that we basically force people out of houses they've bought by gouging them with taxes. That seems much more unfair than the alternative.

This... isn't true at all. The alternative is that people pay accrued property taxes plus a small amount of interest on the sale of the property. Many states do this and it works great. Sorry that when you sell your 2m dollar home you're only netting 1.6m instead of 2m because you werent able to pay property taxes for 35 years....
I don't, because you can still see such comments (it may require an account and flipping a switch). And in fact I browse Hacker News with showdead turned on, and I often start from /active so I can see stories and comments other people don't want me to see. This isn't censorship because Hacker News itself still makes them visible: it's more like spam filtering in that regard, where content is being categorised but not censored.

Spam filters in particular are not censorship because they are ultimately just labelling devices. Because of their accuracy many people often accept and act on those labels automatically, but they don't have to, and actually recently Gmail's filters got terrible and so I have to check my spam folder all the time now.

In some cases spam filters flat-out reject messages and don't even show them to the recipient, not even in a spam folder. I understand the technical reasons for that (full storage and processing of spam is expensive), but, that gets much much closer to the border of censorship, with the only real difference being one of intent.

If you have a mortgage, the mortgage company usually rolls property taxes into your mortgage payment. So a homeowner may not receive a separate property tax bill for 30 years.

Not sure what you tried and from which location, but Apple doesn’t need the real name or a valid payment method for creating an account to be used for purchases. Such an account can be used to get all the free apps and content on its stores.

On the other side, does stock Android allow one to use a phone without creating a Play Store account and associating it for other services from Google? I’m just curious how that works. I’d presume that Google doesn’t need a payment method or one’s real name either.
Godot found a way to merge visual programming and OOP so well. You just drag a little node of whatever type into the scene and can attach code to it. All the node types are essentially classes with useful methods predefined. That plus their Signals system for messaging between nodes makes it so easy to do whatever you want.

I've made 2 very small 3d games in Godot with basically 0 experience in graphics or gaming programming each in a weekend.

I cannot really compare Godot to Unity or Unreal but it was such a good experience to use that I don't see a point in trying the others.

Seriously hats off to the Godot contributors
Sure. It's never about the individual. Individually, there are plenty of great homeowners who would hurt themselves financially to help out their fellow man. Unfortunately, as is shown by reality, there aren't enough of them in aggregate to overcome the NIMBY class. Otherwise there would be action taken instead of just maintaining the status quo.

There are plenty of ways to benefit from the appreciation in value without selling the house.
Same here in TN. And it's not limited to just dues - they can fine you for violations and place a lien for lack of payment of those fines, as well.

I rent in a nice neighborhood, and the HOA really dislikes rentals. But they don't have enough support to get the bylaws changed to make it more difficult to rent. So instead they abuse the fine system by selectively enforcing mostly-ignored bylaws to create arbitrary violations for rented units and implicitly discourage owners from renting.

The owner of my house never passed through any of the fines to me[1], and was very apologetic. But the notices finally irritated me to the point of putting up outside cameras. I gave my landlord video evidence of the HOA people logging violations outside, and walking right past the exact same violations[2] at several neighbors houses without even stopping. The violation letters stopped shortly after, and my landlord cut my rent by a sizable chunk as a thank you for helping him get that thorn out of his side.

[1] Based on him giving me a break on the rent going forward, and my original rent being par for the neighborhood, I assume the market rate was already being padded significantly by everyone to account for the constant fines.

[2] These are violations like the bushes hiding the HVAC unit from street view not being full enough (in the dead of winter when the leaves were thinned out), an older mailbox looking like an older mailbox despite it being consistent with the rest of the houses on the street, the trashcan still being on the street at 4PM on trash day despite everyone else not being home yet to pull theirs up yet either, the yard not being cut that week despite it having been raining too heavily for anyone to have cut their yard recently, etc.
Nope that’s not the conspiracy. The conspiracy is that you’ve pressed the wrong button because the UI is deliberately confusing.

If you could find the right button I’m sure it would delete the data...

except that it’s down the UI equivalent three flights of stairs to the basement, behind a filing cabinet in front of a locked door with a sign on saying “Beware of the leopard”.

Oh and every tracking feature is on by default even if you’re not logged in.
The other thing about rayiner's post is that the language he uses is quite informative of his political views. Notice how he uses the phrase "confiscate wealth" to describe taxation, as opposed to, say, "paying their fair share".
It would be a lessor ill for the county to forgive the 8 dollars or add it to the next years tax bill.

The government shouldn't be in the business of maximizing profit at the expense of the well being of the people.

There is not one correct thing in your entire post.

We have no proof that said notice was actually received. When you take legal action even as a private citizen the onus is on YOU to ensure communication is received not on them to ensure they received it. If you are going to take a property worth 10s of thousands you can spend a few dollars paying someone to serve a notice.

You may correctly discern that nobody that had actually been thus notified would fail to pay the $8 and thus such service would certainly result in a financial loss. Tack the cost of said service onto the bill or just take the $8 onto the next years bill.

You incorrectly claim that their is either anarchy where nobody pays their taxes or a punitive dystopia where 83 year olds lose their properties over Less than the cost of a value meal at McDonald's and exclude the entire middle ground where virtually all sane governments reside.

A dullard could design a functional middle ground and if you look at the array of imbeciles that work in local government they in fact largely have all over America. A few thoughts from yours truly.

- Require onerous process prior to actually taking a house to ensure that all takings are a result of actual decisions not to pay rather than mischance. Example paying people to actually serve notice to the person and prove receipt or that such service is impossible in extreme cases where someone is missing or impossible to contact. You can reasonably charge someone for this service.

- A fine for nonpayment

- Minimum principal due before you can take a property to ensure that no matter of 8 dollars results in a house being taken. This ensures that you can't simply keep piling on fines until it reaches the minimum.

- A lien on the value of the house for the money due when the property is sold or transferred so that the government gets paid its due.

- A policy of forgiving small discrepancies or miscalculations say under 10 bucks to ensure more money isn't spent on collection than is worthwhile.

The government could affect a net decrease in homelessness by literally taking away properties from wealthy people who own multiples and giving them to the poor. In fact any action that takes away from some and gives to the other makes someone better off. That being the general case doesn't make the specific case of this old fellow losing his house to a predatory system better or said system reasonable.

A standard sized Azure App Service runs about a $75 a month. That will let you host about as many ASP.NET sites on it as you want - and there's no VM that you have to manage. Scaling up or out is pretty painless if you need to

A SQL database on Azure runs about $5-$15 a month, depending on how you configure it.

Once you throw in SSL certs and DNS management, you're probably looking at about $100 a month.
Funny you mention that, but one of the better pieces of MFC related advice I read was to have a single central location for computing UI element states. It did feel a lot like React does these days (albeit with less sophistication in the underlying 'DOM model' back then, and nothing like React's differencing stuff.)

http://www.flounder.com/controls.htm

To me at least, if you change the terms in that article, it looks a lot like the arguments in favor of moving away from ad hoc jQuery spaghetti and to React's single global rendering pass.
I would argue that buying a house does give you the inalienable right to live there forever (if you so choose). Anything else is basically the elimination of the concept of private property.

Two things, property values would be a lot different (lower) today if prop 13 never existed. Second, the absolute property tax rate could be lower if everyone had to pay the same rate.
