I re-negotiated my 2B2B rent down from $4700 to $4200, and honestly could've gone lower (landlord accepted our first offer).

The most important thing for me in this process was doing the research on comparable properties in the city and spreadsheeting it out (sqft, rent, location, and amenities). I presented that spreadsheet, showing there were obviously places I could move to that were much cheaper with similar to better benefits.

Ultimately all negotiation is about showing that you're willing to walk away for a better alternative, and it's pretty clear there were good alternatives given the current SF housing market.

STAR sounds very reasonable. And yeah, I'm definitely open to ordinal systems besides IRV. I guess my argument is about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good (which is of course the whole point of voting systems to begin with). I'd consider IRV or MMP vastly better than FPTP, and something like STAR or Ranked Pairs only slightly better than that. Which is a good example of a preference that STAR would be good for expressing :P

Tokyo stays up late because of their train schedule. The last trains are mostly around 1AM which is too early for a night out, so most people just end up extending their night outs to 5AM first train back home. Taxis are too expensive.

This is a terrible analogy.

What's actually happening is that Facebook, Google, et.al. can read your messages and the Government can do so with a warrant. Nobody is planning on broadcasting everything to everyone. We don't have to ask people if they would do that or not. The vast majority of them do that today.

What does Google have to gain from it? Google has pretty aggressive anti-scraping protections to protect against this exact behavior, so why would they allow Startpage to get away with it?

What does Startpage have to gain from it? Unlike DDG, they don't seem to have any core product, so they fully depend on Google's goodwill which is very shaky grounds when it comes to a long-term business.
> You're the one pissing people off who actually struggled

I have one person arguing with me - you. You have multiple people arguing with you, some even sharing difficult personal stories of having to go to a food kitchen to not go hungry...

I'm sorry "I'm pissing you off" and "shitting all over you" but you are not going to change my opinion: you had some serious help but still talk like you're an example..? I agree with others that you sharing your experience of being "poor" is punching down, tone-deaf, and invalidates those who actually find themselves struggling right now.
Humans need privacy because of the selfishness of our survival biology. There simply are bad people in the world, and I wish it were different, but it's not. 'Just trust us' are words often told to us by people who only want power - at our expense.

The best sentiment I've ever heard about privacy is from Shoshana Zuboff, and it's now influenced my thoughts. It's at the end of her amazing 2018 book 'Surveillance Capitalism', the best book on tech I have ever read. She shares a conclusion along this line: To be private and free from surveillance is to be human. If we have no privacy, we lose our humanity.

She explains that there is a direct connection between being watched, and being controlled. We need freedom of diversity - to will - to decide for ourselves. Otherwise, and now I conclude, bad actors with power lust will only bend the world to their vision.

The guilt-tripping words of "nothing to hide" come from a place of privilege - or worse, hypocrisy. It is an insult to anyone who is different from the norm, and who wants to be themselves. What you have every right to hide does not even have to be illegal, but often it is, like LGBTQ people last century. Illegal ≠ immoral.

Privacy is a core freedom to protect human diversity. It must not be shamed. It must be loved. Cherished. Treasured.

Privacy begets diversity. Surveillance begets conformity. Which one is more important for the development of life in the universe?

As a child, I instinctively knew that privacy was something natural and important in life. Now as an adult, with education and intellect I can articulate why - and resist psychological manipulation and intellectual dishonesty from others trying to tell us that privacy should die.

I'm able to see the insanity of my own age. And I will guard privacy with my life on the street, if I have to.
If you haven't read it already, you might enjoy the Culture series[1] by Iain Banks. It's sci-fi about a Culture of humanoids that have effectively mastered the galaxy, and they have GSVs (General Systems Vehicles) which are huge spaceships that effectively carry all of the Culture's knowledge and manufacturing capability with them wherever they go.

As an additional side note, many of the spaceships in the series are sentient and have interesting names, two of which SpaceX used to name their own drone ships.

> having a family or network subsidize $100s per month

As I've explained in multiple other follow-up comments now (EDIT: including, I now realize, in the exact comment to which you replied): it was not "$100s per month". It was barely $50, if that. I think the most luxurious thing was some protein shakes, and that was a box for, like, $20 (that'd be the thing in the fridge). They still give me boxes of those shakes sometimes, since my grandma likes 'em and I do, too, so why not, lol

And, as I already explained in the original comment, it was a $50 that I could've still paid myself. Instead, I accepted the help. I'm grateful for that help, and recognize that even that much is a privilege a lot of people don't have. That doesn't mean I wasn't poor at the time, nor does it mean that describing my experience is somehow "punching down".
> You can believe this with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, but it will not change the inescapable law of economics that hiring someone at a wage which is higher than the value they produce is called charity.

So mega-charity for boardroom vampires and Big Finance thumb-twiddlers is acceptable, but not for workers? I don't follow your reasoning as it relates to reality.

It is possible to govern a society that doesn't worship money above all else. It's okay to be charitable.

That doesn't mean it's regressive. It's just a demagogy.

Low income people buy less things and pay lower sales tax proportionally. Wealthy people spend more on luxurious goods and pay way higher tax in absolute numbers. Everyone is hurt the same.

On top of that, necessities (food, medication, books) are usually exempt from the sales tax.
This OpenVPN[0] setup works very well and uses certificates for auth. It's easy to use and you just need to set up port forwarding in your home network so you can dial in from remote.

These days all the cool kids are using WireGuard[1] though. I don't have a link to a handy installer and setup guide for that but they do exist.

I propose a land value tax/georgism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

People own the land, they just pay a "user fee" of sorts to the commons.

Actually, the current situation is already like feudalism. Under feudalism, people other than the king also held land (the nobility). These landed gentry also drew the benefits of free rent, from the poor labourers.

Those with land currently can hold it indefinitely, extract a profit from it, and then pass it onto their children. That sounds a lot like the landed gentry under feudalism to me. The property tax tempers it slightly (which is why prop 13 is so bad), but it's easy to eliminate it all, while still keeping private landownership and market mechanisms for allocation (I definitely don't trust the government to own and allocate all land efficiently).
That's not the operative distinction most of us are working with, nor do I think there's much demand for an alternative theory of the case. The conventional distinction, which is more or less a distinction between positive and negative rights, is working quite nicely, sufficiently explains the motivation for the rule, and isn't in search of improvement.

At least for Google, putting in "X" (with the quotes) used to mean: Search for things containing exactly X. This was one of the best ways to search for technical information (for example error messages) after they made the default search algorithm less precise.

Then later they butchered/removed that too - so all you get now is some generalized garbage for results that is not really relevant to your specific problem.

I guess the problem they wanted to combat is that Google would deliver no useful results at all for overly specific queries, so they made it "generalize" always.

Software development is not really the only sector that has this problem with Google now though, it's just that devs can usually tell that Google is the problem.

Searching for anything specific and technical has become hard.

Google used to be great at finding stuff you needed for work in your field, and sometimes bad at finding everyday everybody stuff. Now it's reversed.
Mostly agree, one nice thing about FF is containers.
I have noticed with both lightning and macbook chargers that high current draw (and associated heat) while the cable is bent seems to be associated with the cable degrading.

Not using the phone while charging negates this, as does having the cable flat on a table when using the macbook (as opposed to using and charging with the macbook on your lap, where the cable rops down immediately).
I think there needs to be a systematic study around this because as others are pointing out, this is against the "UX 101" which I count as a unsubstantiated argument, but it would be a hypocrisy if I didn't have data to back up the counter argument.

I wonder how much would it cost to run a medium scale study around this on Mechanical Turk? $50 to unroot popular choices and get data to prove otherwise? I would not mind spending it.

The sad thing is that there is so much momentum around minimalism aesthetics in UX/UI that it is impossible to make a point even with data - people will always find problems in the aforementioned study just to go about their ways.
In practice though, that’s only a real issue if the wrong people die in a crash as a result of non-compliant parts.
This is also relevant for containers used in logistics of things to the store. There is so much single use cardboard boxes used in fruit exports for example.
> Per the video, she couldn't even lower the handle without him to exit

This really looks like something that can be improved relatively easily. Instead of disconnecting, the pole could slide along the bar when released and click back when raised again. In other words, it's either an early implementation issue, or a cost saving trick, not a spec problem.
I meant to be less specific than "hire someone", but I'd wager that once a subconscious impression is formed, you'd be more likely to bias your interpretation of whatever else they say.
> The second part describes the long-run behavior of the differential equation

> The temperature value that this point takes is the average temperature of the points surrounding it

And this is not correct. Excluding a final state when all temperature values are identical, at no point is the temperature value equal to the average of the surrounding values. You aren't describing and evolution if its inaccurate for all points except a final state.

On top of that, even during the evolution the temperature isn't what's taking on the "average" of surrounding points, it the change in temperature wrt time that's being change by the average of points. And yet again, it's not an average of the surrounding temperatures is and average of the surrounding differences in temperature.

And this interaction we've had highlights exactly my point. English is an impressive language, and Mathematics is full of hand wavy explanations that come with simplicity context that isn't explicity and precisely defined. Mathematicians are used to it, and of course it's learnable like anything. My point is it's not necessary, it evolved in a different time with different constraints. Its a similar example of "the medium is the message" - math evolved when the only way to write was by hand, and duplication of definitions was manually expensive. We don't need these handwavy shortcuts now - we can make it easier for students to learn by being precise and providing definitions for them to see exactly what's happening - not expect them to learn from trying to recall every imagined context. And the fall back of "I had to learn it this way, so they should too", is a horrible excuse.
> Should no one receive any benefits as long as there is an open job somewhere that they could potentially fill?

Yes? The point is to make sure people aren't starving, not to preserve their ego and satisfy the "This isn't why I got a college degree" crowd. Obviously there's a good bit of frictional unemployment, which is really what unemployment is designed to handle. That may go up a bit during times of economic stagnation or contraction, but unemployment isn't supposed to handle the "I was making X dollars before and can't maintain my lifestyle if I take a lower-paying job" sort of situation. In this sort of environment, most people will experience a significant reduction in quality of life, and probably should, as there are fewer goods and services being produced. I guess that doesn't win votes, though, so the politicians are out here telling people they shouldn't have to. And I'll get to have my retirement taken in taxes to pay for it.

The issue is that nothing is as pure as ungoogled-chromium is right now. I've also felt that Brave was slow, and not best for developers. As a power user I'm very biased, so Brave may work better for folks that are not as technically skilled and have no idea how to install from GitHub/brew/etc.

Edit: I feel it is slow because it has extra bloat added. Like I said, take my comments here with a grain of salt because I'm a very biased power user. I respect the efforts of these developers regardless of what project it is, the focus on privacy and building something different is truly awesome.
> Yes. The key word there is intentional.

You're basically arguing that businesses are run by people who can't compare numbers to each other.

If automation costs less, as it often does, then businesses will adopt it because it costs less, because lowering costs increases margins (or volumes, if the lower costs are passed on).

> Indirectly. Output directly increases from higher production capacity. Wishful thinking and consumer desire do not transform manufacturing without some changes to that manufacturing.

Not indirectly. If there is demand for 5000 cars at a given price and you suddenly gain the capacity to manufacture 10,000 cars at that price, you still aren't going to manufacture 10,000 cars unless you expect somebody to buy them. Having the capacity without the demand is nothing.

And having the demand without the capacity would only cause businesses to expand capacity, whether through automation or otherwise. If it was profitable to make 5000 cars by hand and there is demand for 10,000 cars at that price then they would just hire twice as many people to make them if nothing else.
this is an awesome idea and a very lucid explanation. good luck!

May be it's not about 'nothing to hide' vs 'something to hide'. May be it's about inadequate responsibility level for a bar conversation.

When people make public speeches they tend to choose words more carefully because they aware about possible dramatic consequences.

The same level of awareness for each private conversation in the bar can lead to a lot of efforts. It's another level of efforts to formulate things correctly. Sometimes people just need a safe place to formulate and try ideas without worrying about being punished for consequences.

If everything is livestreaming it's hard to achieve certain level of relaxation.Because it becomes a hard work to avoid saying something they didn't mean.

This kind of hard extra work would result in overloads and intentional faking to be on the safe side.

And 'that' is the core damage effect of any mass surveillance: Inability to have a free and open private discussions.

So even when there is 'nothing to hide', there is a lot of work just to 'avoid to show' something you didn't mean.
Cluster Diagnostics: Troubleshoot Cluster Issues with a Minimal Learning Curve
I used to build and manage ecomm sites. We had several manufacturers/brands that we had to agree not to openly display a retail price below a certain amount.

Incidentally, for almost every brand in our industry, that number was 1.8X listed wholesale.

We could sell for less, but not list a price of less. Implementing "add to cart to see price" was good enough at the time to keep them happy.
