When I did this (rented out the suburban single-family house I used to live in), if something needed repairing, I'd just drop by after work and fix it myself since I only lived half an hour away. I set my rent based on the market rate.

It turned out that insurance on a rental property was less than on an owner-occupied one, which made no sense to me, but I wasn't going to argue with MetLife :-)

Basically, the floor of your monthly rent should be your existing costs: mortgage, insurance, property taxes, average annual repair costs, etc. In markets I was familiar with, this was always well under what rent would cost. Also, bear in mind that repairs and other expenses like property taxes and mortgage interest are now deductible since the rental is a business.

IIRC I had around $1,000/mo in cashflow from the rental before factoring in savings from the additional deductible items. I sold the property after three years since I didn't really want to be a landlord, but it was free money.
Outsourcing it to a search engine is pretty easy. I do something like the following for DuckDuckGo:

Thanks for the feedback!

Have you checked out the type cheatsheet?
(keys) is a function call!

The function you pass as last to elem is kind of a continuation. It's a function which transforms the output before returning.

All you're doing writing a jql query is composing one big function.

With values in function call position, it's just that (keys) gets evaluated to a value (the keys of the map) and that is used to index the json. That's why keys wouldn't work, you need the parentheses to make it a function call.

This may sound complex at first but I find it gets intuitive quickly.

What's your point? Do you want me to explain the basics of GR and Cosmology, including the vast amounts of evidence we have for everything in HN comments? Do you think you are pointing out subtle errors in reasoning that none of the tens of thousands of physics students since the early twentieth century spotted?

You don't have the decency to try to learn the basics but presume to lecture me/expect explanations? Take a course. Show a little humility. Even reading Wikipedia thoroughly would have informed you that it's galaxies, not stars that confirm the expansion of the universe. The expansion (not the acceleration of the expansion) is beyond doubt. Conservation of Energy is not a priory defined for the question at hand because in GR you can not just add the energy at different points in space.

Measuring the perturbation to the moon's trajectory from expansion would require knowing all parameters that enter the trajectory to this accuracy, not just the average distance.

This is all basic if you want to learn, but you seem to have a different agenda...

I've never seen a begging homeless person with expensive shoes or a brand new phone. And during the winter time, most shelters are at capacity and have to turn people away.

And please do some research on the foster care system in the United States, giving up your child puts them at very high risk of abuse and is VERY traumatizing for the child.
You laugh, but the US overthrew Iran by paying a few people to pretend to be Marxists and prematurely start their revolution.
Regardless of whether or not you are right, this is just not an appropriate way to respond to someone who has just shared a trauma. This is a case of "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all".

It's only a false dichotomy, in the sense that it was presented by Brooks.

By the way, the "one checkout per repository" is not strictly true. You can use "git worktree"; this is a lightweight way to reuse an existing git repository and have each worktree use a different branch. It's a nice feature, and I use it daily.

Also, a comment about the argumentation in "test before commit". It feels a bit artificial wrt. what can be done locally, what git commit and git push do and what their relation is in a sane workflow. Certainly, one can push untested stuff to the remote server by mistake; but, even so, this should be OK, because if one can push directly to important branches like master or similar without going through any reviews and other sanity checks, one has a problem... and the problem isn't really Git :)

There's definitely a tension. When employers can treat employees as disposable, there is more firing and thus (sometimes) more hiring.

However, unions increase the value of jobs. Union workers enjoy a better QOL and career stability, and they can actually build a life for themselves without worrying about being fired on a whimsy.

Luckily for something like game development, it is a growing industry with a low barrier to entry. Finding a job or starting a new company is very realistic-- until the next economic downturn, which will hurt union and non-union workers alike
Yes, but why would a union negotiate a deal that bankrupts their small studio? That's against their own self-interest.
The point about archeologists is a good one because it speaks to motive. In general, we should be very supportive of the efforts of distant historians who want to understand what humanity used to be like. We should not WANT to hide secrets from a sufficiently far future. I can't think of any secret that deserves to be hidden from them for any reason besides perhaps modesty.
> I work in an industry where our products are used for LITERAL decades. There's no way that anything even remotely marketed as "beginner friendly" could begin to work for anything we do.

Beginner friendly doesn't mean that the other requirements disappear.

The Arduino can run Javascript. Sure, you don't have to make it use Javascript, but it can be done. Just because Arduino runs Javascript doesn't change its -40C to +85C operating temperature.

Arduino can be BOTH beginner friendly, AND rugged enough to operate at sub-zero temperatures indefinitely. And if you really want to "remove Javascript" from your stack, then you're 100% welcome to do that.

Universities on the other hand, have other requirements. Beginner friendly is absolutely a necessity for students. You have to hook students with something easy if you want the students to be interested in projects. Having a SINGLE platform scale from beginner usage, all the way up to professional usage, is extremely important for the general ecosystem.

And I still argue that opening up Javascript developers onto the platform is a good thing. UI design is complicated, and someone who fully focuses on the user-experience, culture, and presentation is useful. (Even if a GUI designer is ignorant of embedded issues, they can remain helpful in other ways).

The only question (and it appears to be the majority of the responses here) that looks like you can answer well is if other people have done what he's considering doing. Maybe that's the discussion he's looking for; the comments to that affect are definitely good.

The remaining questions regarding coding vs. management or what skills to 'brush up on' are very person-dependent beyond general platitudes. Sure, discussions can be had, but it kind of depends on what he wants.

It might seem that way, but minimum and maximum power demand are generally so far apart when you include seasonal differences, solar and nuclear need about as much peaking power to supplement each other. That’s why even with huge exports Frances nuclear power stations hover around 77% utilization where US nuclear can hit 92%. Nuclear can clearly play a role, especially near the poles, but it’s just really expensive.

In the end Ontario is in an unusual situation that stops working as the rest of Canada scales either nuclear or wind power. It’s working for them and their electricity is mostly carbon neutral, it just does not scale.

PS: That’s not to say nuclear can’t scale to 100%, nuclear subs make it work with wildly swinging demand. However, low capacity factor directly results in higher costs.

Making Jeff Bezos' net worth suddenly belong to other people would be a massive event, and if done clumsily would undermine the foundations of property and ownership, which so many things depend on. Even those aren't fundamental truths, but people really care about them. Not likely to happen without a catastrophe (e.g. WW3).

On the other hand, making it so someone like Jeff Bezos could never accrue $100bil in the first place is a lot more plausible.

> i do not see how else shares can be feasibly taxed until the moment they are sold.

Oh, that's just a matter of assigning a notional value through some accounting estimation process. The value might be wrong but that's ok, overpaid tax would be returned if a lower value was discovered at the next sale.

But why sell the shares anyway. If you're going to transfer $50bil (currently in shares) to lots of poor people, transfer the shares. I expect people would find a way to trade their microshares afterwards to get the things they need. Amazon would probably be happy to run the microshare-trading service for a small commission :-)
But that’s just the nature of competition. Jurisdictions are in competition to attract investment as much as companies are.
What will unions do with Open Source development?

Let's say the unions get huge wins, make huge gains, and unionize essentially all programmers. They decide to call a strike. What happens to Linux development? What happens to tons of other OSS development? If a strike only affects closed-source software, that's an incentive for users to go Open Source, but it's also an incentive for unions to try and destroy it.

This isn't like the auto industry union vs shadetree mechanics, which was never a conflict because shadetree mechanics are fundamentally not a threat to the auto industry and its unions because the shadetree mechanics of the world can't make their own credible car as a hobbyist project.

The "shadetree mechanics" of the OSS world have made large chunks of a software ecosystem as a bunch of interconnected hobbyist projects, which is a distinct threat to the software industry's UAW-equivalent's ability to exert pressure on companies that make and sell software.
I would love to see them translating the Linux kernel, but that might be a bit too ambitious.
As a non-sports person, I never understood our country's obsession, preferential treatment, and worshiping of anything that has to do with NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB, be it tax subsidies of stadium, cable bundling of sports channel, or looking down on people who are not into sports.
People must really hate cars. I like to drive and be in control of the vehicle. Often I go for drives in the country for a couple of hours. It's not about speed it's just fun to drive a nice car.

Sure I like EVs but range (for now), lack of control, the sound of them are many things that ruin the art of driving. Pretty soon mechanical cars will be like expensive mechanical watches, rare.
On the contrary, payments is critical infrastructure, like roads or social security, that needs to be publicly owned and operated, immune to the rise of cancel culture, and other whims of the techno-elites. No one should be denied their right to basic economics because someone in power at a private company disagrees with their politics
I think you meant "companies" and not "states".

Problem is it becomes a bidding war that causes states to forego tax revenue with ZERO recourse if that company decides to pack up and move somewhere else. This is especially true of companies that are not bound by development costs (e.g., Amazon warehouse vs. a semiconductor fab). Several New England state economies are fucked because they gave away tons of money in tax breaks hoping increased sales tax and income tax (on workers for those companies!!!) would offset the tax giveaway. E.g., CT is fucked for this very reason.

Eventually the state has no recourse if the company changes its mind. Go look at what's happening with Foxconn's multibillion dollar scam in Wisconsin. Or Hillsboro oregon where intel gets 30 years without paying taxes. (Granted, Intel can't pack up and move easily because they invested 10's of billions in a big ugly fab that pollutes [see the "waivers" they "negotiated" to allow them to continue dumping fluorine emissions to avoid costly fab retrofits]).

One solution is to allow states to sue if a company breaches contracts. But many states are just piss poor and cannot afford to take on a trillion dollar company (Amazon, Facebook), or a company from another country (Foxconn).

Another solution is to actually tax corporations federally, since the government already redistributes blue-state wealth to red-state welfare.

Warren has a great idea: tax companies on their SEC revenue CLAIMS rather than their IRS filings, which tend to differ by billions.
If this is true, this makes possible a lot of very-low-power wireless applications where longevity is important. I'm recalling a project at my first job where we were using e-paper and CR2032s with wireless transceivers to create electronic shelf labels.

Longevity is important in this application because replacing batteries is very labor-intensive.
Someone actually did a report on this? Its obvious what needs to be said to gain consensus vs actual benefits.

The actual benefit was reducing the tax burden on various entities, because thats what they wanted to happen.

Gaining consensus on that means saying whatever is necessary.

Who is this report for? The governments revenues or budget constraints aren’t really affected by anything as long as it is willing to spend it all on military and obligations.

Lower taxes just for fun!
Too overworked at my day job to do much side programming work. I decided to mainly focus on generating passive income through investing. I don't see many things that I think scream out "cheap" but the MLP sector has still not seen much of a recovery from the very steep declines from several years ago. You could look into $EPD, $ET, $MMP. Distributions given off of the units are tax-deferred, so it shouldn't cause much of a tax issue until you would unload the shares. These companies also try and raise distributions quarterly (yes, $ET has not raised in a while, but they took a worse beating than any of the others. When they do raise them, and they will, share price should recover nicely).

You could also look at some CEFs. PIMCO would be the main one I'd consider for bonds. $PDI / $PCI / $PTY. If you would want to get into some equity CEFS you could look at $UTG.

Obviously you can consider a lot of other options if you don't mind them tossing off less income, but your post was bout generating monthly income :)

Show HN: Anytype – self-hosted open-source operating environment
Start journaling. Just keep a daily log of stuff you do, that you either think is interesting or that you want to reference later. Focus on getting the key points out succintly, writing as you go and then (quickly) editing once you have the problem all worked out. If you do this regularly, you'll get better at producing short and interesting summaries which are great blog topics.
Introducing anytype - an open-source distributed operating system that brings true data ownership to its users.

What is true data ownership?
Many people think that data ownership means being able to access your data and decide who can access it and who can’t. It’s important in its own right because it protects us from potential adverse scenarios (surveillance state, digital dictatorship). But it’s a narrow view. True data ownership is being able to use your data in a context when it’s useful, so often not only inside one app but across many. Moreover, true data ownership means being able to control not only the data, but also a graphical interface for it.

How Anytype brings true data ownership?
1. Anytype works without a central server, so only users have access to their encryption keys and data. All apps run locally and exchange data directly in a peer-to-peer way without exposing it to intermediaries even when users work across devices and with others.
2. It’s a local-first software, so it works offline with full functionality.
3. Users can modify all interfaces and create new ones without code. Even if they have unique workflows or ideas of how they want to use their data - they will be able to do it.
4. The data is free - it can be used across all apps inside or outside Anytype. Also, users can use anytype software even if for some reason anytype the company is no longer around. So they can be sure that their data will never be trapped.
5. We will open source Anytype with the public release. Developers can add integrations, additional views for data, Machine Learning modules. It will also ensure that everything we tell about Anytype can be publicly verifiable, so users can trust our code, not our words.

Please, let me know what you think if anything resonates with you or on the contrary, or maybe you have questions. Our team is here to discuss and answer questions
Not really. If you are on multiple Mastodon/Pleroma/Pixelfed/Misskey servers, you have a separate account on each of them. Some servers are meant for certain topics (mastodon.art is mostly artists) and different servers will have different lists of banned servers (so you might be able to follow all your friends on Server A, but not import that full list into Server B).

People with multiple accounts with the same name/icons often call these accounts "alts" .. and it's kinda easy to create a fake alt for someone (although KeyBase supports mastodon so you can kinda setup your "identity" that way; although each individual server has to be added to the big Keybase list).

It's really more like old IRC/AOL chat rooms .. with threads.
Current submission headline: "“no evidence” that tax incentives given to companies increased economic growth"

Such incentives usually aren't directly premised on "increased growth", but rather "local jobs" – and the linked study's abstract reports "we find that average employment within the 3-digit industry of the deal increases by roughly 1,500 jobs".

The abstract also reports "mixed" results "on spillovers and productivity effects of incentives", and "unclear" effects on "equity".

Now, I'm not a fan of such locality-vs-locality targeted-incentive competition – which is likely zero-sum or negative-sum across all localities. And without broader growth, the costs may be too expensive for the narrow employment gains.

But the current editorialized, excerpted headline makes it sound like the thrust of this study was to find no benefits at all for such deals, and that's not the mixed story it's actually reporting.
