Renting a home is a special case since housing is a necessity. It is heavily regulated because of that, but we have to be vigilent to ensure that regulations keep up with the times

For most other items, the amount of control that you need really comes down to priorities. Given my use of computers, I buy the hardware and prefer open source applications since there is a large degree of control. When it comes to entertainment (games, music, etc.) rental is fine since they are not all that important. Some product categories is a blend of the two: some books I buy, others I "rent" (rather, borrow through libraries).

As for Alexa for landlords, this may be a case where some laws need revision. Even if it is not used as a surveilance device, it must be classified as such since the potential is there. It doesn't matter whether that potential is used by Amazon, the landlord, or another authorized or unauthorized party.
Moreover, they will become disposable and landfills will fill up with them, as I wrote in more depth in another post here.
The top level comment you are replying to and nitpicked the "scraping" verb doesn't say anything about YouTube or the YouTube API.
This would be a more compelling explanation if there seemed to be particularly high levels of holding people accountable.

It seems to me we build big opaque structures that prevent accountability. Your national internet provider rips you off? You'll probably be able to reverse the transaction, but good luck getting any information at all about what happened.
Dentists can fix problems, but like developers, their higher calling is preventing problems.

The advice is sound (and applies to domains beyond marketing). Long term, you’re generally better off setting up some best practices early than ignoring them.

I don't live in the US either. But this website is primarily US-focused, and most people on it readily assume the context for everything is the US, so I conform to the same habit.

My anecdotal examples would be mostly middle-class families and college students in the US, not particularly valley-related. In my country these type of devices are on the market but not popular (only seen a couple), but they're priced out of the range of the majority of the population anyway.
In my experience bikers from Germany, Netherlands and Belgium DGAF about human life.

Most people just don't have a clue about what they are doing and have no passion for their research whatsoever. When you have money as the main driver for science, this kind of stuff is exactly what you should expect. There's homeless and crackheads etc at a 3km radius from the majority of social sciences schools around the world. It's a complete a failure and scam. Science development is analog to social development and nothing is going to change by appealing to scientists to don't cite weak research lmao
I would agree with this. Given the choice between (a) some marketing type with an ego and only interested in a corner office with a view and a quiet life or (b) someone eager and not afraid of rolling their sleeves up and getting dirty, I know who I would choose.

The same goes with my dentist. I once walked into a dentist as a new patient, all the dentist was interested in was the quiet life (i.e. selling me tooth whitening services). I walked out and never went back.

Frankly the entire blog post reads as sneering and looking down at small businesses, completely ingoring the realities of small business life which might prevent the hiring of some marketing types.

Its all very well if you live the cushy Silly Con valley "small business" life, but for most small businesses, the reality is different.

I'm sure all small businesses would love to employ armies of sales, marketing, technical etc. etc. ... but let's get away from the MBA textbook into real life shall we ?
I really liked the Book „Three Easy Pieces“. You can read it online for free and it gives you a good mental model of how stuff works!

1: phoenix is fast and almost as expressive as ruby (15 ms response times)

2: weird timing bugs don't show up in my code.

3: the tooling is fantastic, a close second second only to rails

4: Ecto beats active record and is easily the best data mapping layer I've worked with. All the nodejs orms I've used in the past felt like clunky toys by comparison.

5: websockets via channels is second to none. seriously, django channels and rails action cable directly copied it but they are not as performant. you can scale a single machine to handle a few thousand connections out of the box and it supports multicluster and long polling to boot.

6: absinthe is great for graphql.

7: live view, think turbolinks on steroids. you can send down updates to the client dom over websockets.

> Most landlords don't even allow their rent to be paid online.

This just completely flummoxes me. The US really is a third world nation sometimes.

Here in the Netherlands it is unthinkable to pay your rent in cash. Most people pay their rent via standing order, or for the few people who haven't automated their payments, via direct wire transfer.
After migrating to Doom, I'm spending quite some time waiting for Ivy's buffer list to pop up, then process my input or just the cursor movement keys. Not really seeing the ‘speedier’ part. Haven't yet looked into what's taking it so long.

As for the ‘minimal’ part, indeed Helm has niceties thrown in, like recent files in the buffer list (I happen to been using that), or seeing docs from some completion lists.
That's a possibility. I've enjoyed my job in the past though, like the first few year out of college. Then the BS and politics set in.
They get sort of recycled - the hydrocarbons start in the ground, are brought up used and bit and then stuck back in a hole in the ground.
Nope. We used to cycle to the mountains nearby then cycle back couple times a week after school and then at least once on the weekend. On road bikes we were averaging ~40km/h so it was only 3-4 hours total, maybe less if we were pushing it. Not to boast but I was super buff back then, leg muscles like steel lol.
What is the main feature of Goodreads?

Actually there are two dominant sources of micro plastics in the oceans: tires and asphalt. There are other sources as well but those are the big ones.

If you think about it, roads need regular up keep because they erode away. Same for tires, which need replacing regularly. Where does that material go? Well it all gets ground into small particles as cars and trucks use the roads. Car tires get warm when you use them because of friction. That friction inevitably wears out the roads and the tires. So you end up with fine dust and particles that eventually washes away when it rains and ends up in rivers and eventually our oceans.

So, converting plastic bags to asphalt is a great way of ensuring a lot of it ends up in our oceans.

The challenge with plastics is not necessarily recycling them but figuring out what is what so you can recycle them properly. Household trash is full of a wide variety of plastics. Sorting these and processing them is not impossible but a bit of a challenge if it's all mixed up.

There are some startups innovating in this space and it's not completely hopeless at this point. Also there are new materials that degrade better/more predictably, certain bacteria have been discovered that actually eat plastics, and we're figuring out cleaner ways of producing source materials in ways that don't involve using fossil oil.

But maybe converting oil to plastics for 1 use products or packaging should just not be that cheap as it is currently. The attitude of "it's not our problem" for both producers and consumers is the core issue. Make it their problem and it's suddenly a lot less attractive to use plastic because cost goes up when you do that.
I agree that this is nightmarish and gross, but I have another question.

> But we all know landlords are, by default, shitty.

What is with journalists for normal/non-political publications and Marxism/Maoism, particularly recently?

I have literally never had a problem with a landlord. While I'm sure unpleasant landlords are as common as unpleasant people, I can't help but think that the only way to have had exclusively bad experiences with landlords would be where the tenant inherently sees the nature of their relationship as exploitative.
No. If half the population would be forced to leave their digital home in order to make things right, the landlord is at fault.
Unpopular opinion: I like technical interviews. They at least enforce some form of a standard hiring bar.

I feel this way because I've seen hiring for non-technical roles, e.g., project management, etc. They basically end up being friends hiring friends, with minimal domain expertise.
Why to ask a scientist, when you can ask a chaman?
Some pods will indeed travel empty in the system to rebalance the supply of vehicles into areas of rush hour exodus. But this is a highly predictable event; the pods will be supplied in advance and on less congested, roundabout routes. So it should have little bearing on peak capacity of any single link.

At peak, the 1.5 occupancy rate I factored is achievable and quite typical for car commuting.

If you buy this logic for universities, then surely government has an even greater interest in ensuring assaults aren't taking place. So shall we mandate every private apartment has microphones installed, to catch terrorists and child molesters, and stop the spread of hateful ideologies?

Or perhaps we want to limit activities that apartments weren't licensed for, like working from home, babysitting, exercise, more than 3 guests at a time, alcohol consumption... activities forbidden by the rental agreement unless you pay extra. By letting you pay a lower rent if you don't need those activities, landlords can pass the savings on to you, the consumer! You wouldn't want to forbid such practices and force higher prices on renters who don't need those perks, would you?

The above is satire for now, but it'll happen if we let it, guaranteed.

How on earth would you have multiple lanes within a glorified utility tunnel? That's even more unrealistic, because now you not only need a main tunnel and emergency exits, you also need a bunch of parallel tunnels with individual lifts/ramps plus lots of room for merging.

This is even more impractical. Just to be clear: impractical doesn't mean impossible - it just means that there's no way this can be as economical, safe, and efficient as existing concepts.

An actual station or "a series of parking spaces" as you put it, has no advantages over a traditional subway/people mover station in terms of efficiency, cost and space requirements while offering significantly less throughput.

I just don't see how any of this would be an improvement in any way.
Thank you for the article! it fits me with all aspects. now I am working on a startup and responsiblefor marketing. I have a lot of work ams sometimes I even don't know what to do at first. so your article help me better understand where I am now and where I am moving.
Marketing without budget is not a marketing. You are right here at 100%!
Both the stock market and housing market correlates inversely with the interest rates, so actually buying stocks doesn't give you any diversification, but if you're afraid of buying Bitcoin, you could just buy some gold as an alternative store of value. Another option is to just put 1-4% of your portfolio into Bitcoin, which still is a great hedge against the current financial system, and actually decreases the volatility of your current portfolio (if you have a house right now). Having your money in fiat currencies is just giving 10% of it away to your current leaders.
Agreed, just pointing out the basis of this article is an assumption that amazon won't have thought about drop in when thinking about their other privacy measures for this product.
Sure they do. Works with pets as well as people, give security from the sides and a roof and suddenly you have an air of safety.

plus I know there is big kick here on HN for bicycles but it is wholly unrealistic to rely on a mode of transport that is not useful in all weather conditions. Hell the number of people who fall into the trap that a motorcycle will save them money and then don't ride it for the same reasons is legion.

They are fun, your chance of injury is magnitudes greater though, and they are not suited for all people. This can be based on needs to carry stuff, to being secure from the weather, or being handicapped.

George Carlin: "And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… asshole.”

Lecture videos appear to be private. They've had 5 class sessions so far but no assignments are viewable - maybe some will show up soon or perhaps those will be private as well. There's a Piazza signup but it's only accessible to those with an @berkeley.edu or @ucb.edu email address.

It doesn't matter. The searches are based on the same methodology. Scanning fields for the banned entity or individual. Also if you spell it phonetically, it should get blocked as well.

> The issue stems from the fact that in Italy if you actually drive at merely 50 km/h in average roads you're perceived as an antisocial menace.

Where did you get that?

The reality is that if you are scared to drive or unfocused in a city like Rome or Milan, you are a menace even at very low speed.

At 10 km/h a car kills a pedestrian.

At 15 km/h without safety bells if you hit a wall you're thrown out from the windshield.
> Drones are a serious responsibility, and can be misused to cause a lot of damage, I'm totally willing to trade off some amount of tracking for the ability to have off-the-shelf access to this tech.

Depends how big your house is, but in the UK (in the US you're OK I think) you would probably be flying the drone illegally. Here unless you have prior permission, you're not supposed to fly a drone within 150m of a "built up area". For most people your house is out because your street is not controlled by you, even if you only fly in your garden. Parks also count as built up areas.
I can only congratulate you and offer a huge "YMMV". I personally have made really very bad experiences with multiple landlords so I can 100% of the author's sentiment. I certainly wouldn't consider it a political stance.

I would say it's as much of a satirically accepted ground truth as "gyms generally try to screw you into an auto-renewing yearly contract."

> The problems with letting all apps advertise external payment systems:

I don't think this list is very compelling because external payment systems are already permitted for physical goods and it doesn't seem to be a huge problem that you give your credit card to Uber and Grubhub and Amazon separately.

> The problems with allowing third-party app stores on iOS:

On the other hand I largely agree with this, mandating third-party app installs would lead to a malware and privacy disaster and should not be forced, except perhaps as some kind of developer mode where you are thoroughly warned that you're going out of bounds of normal app distribution.

I appreciate the poetics of a rent-seeking company targeting landlords.
Amazon was pretty much forced to buy Goodreads: the original business model of Goodreads before the Amazon buyout was making money from referral links to booksellers. While links were provided to several internet booksellers besides Amazon, like Barnes & Noble, already the vast majority of internet users were hooked on Amazon and only buying through Amazon links. Consequently, Amazon was paying Goodreads a huge amount of money in referral fees each month, and it made more sense for Amazon to simply buy the site and stop that.

I agree that Amazon is nefarious and destructive, but I think any company in the same position would have bought Goodreads out.

and in this places, roads are either near empty (so overtaking is safe on a double-lane, otherwise, chances are high, you have a crossing every 100m and so can not drive more than 30km/h either), or there are endless traffic jams. Both cases, this thing works great.
I appreciate your earnest feedback here.

Ultimately, I think you're (and, by extension, your teacher friends) are presupposing the frame.

Why do we try to educate students within a framework where cheating has any practical meaning?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/11/nyregion/mastery-based-le...

I've written about related topics in longer form: https://soatok.blog/2020/08/21/a-few-missing-lessons-from-am...

If teachers are so ready to call students cheating a problem that needs to be solved, why don't we look closely at what students' and parents' incentives are to cheat... and then remove those incentives?

After all, isn't the goal of the education system to... educate? Not score them based on their utility to their future corporate masters (which is, in and of itself, classist and often racist)?

(To be clear, I'm not blaming you or your teacher friends for the systemic problems of education. I realize that decision was made far above them in the government food chain. Instead, I'm proposing that there's a different problem to solve than students cheating.)

Maybe this isn't the right time to suggest fundamental changes (since we're all trying to cope with a pandemic every day and it's hella stressful), but I think we need to really think about how we're trying to educate our youth.
