Couldn't she just have gone and become CEO at a different company if she wanted to make more, like the rest of us do?
If you prefer it this way, they should pay the renters who should pay the landlords. Happy?

My point is the government should not make it illegal to generate income and then turn around and say that renters need to pay rent, but neither should they say that landlords must be stuck holding the bag.

Do people understand that landlords aren’t this mysterious class of evil overlords? They’re just people. I’ve taken evil landlords to small claims court before, but that doesn’t mean I think I should be entitled to live in someone’s house for free.

I am absolutely flabbergasted by how “billionaire” and “landlord” are now bad words.
> Wikipedia is difficult to read due to the small font and large column width.

Narrow columns make text hard to read due to the eye being unable to see whole sentences at once. It's like the "Dick and Jane" books of old: "See Spot! See Spot Run! Run Spot Run!" Books for adults aren't written like that (as print novels attest) and there's a good reason.
The job title “account manager” says it all. That is a 100% sales role. So don’t expect deep technical expertise. Any assistance rendered will be to grow the vendor footprint.
I had the screen crash on my Model 3 once as we drove out of our neighborhood. I initiated a reboot while driving and by the time we got where we were going 15 minutes down the road it was operating normally again.
It's a bit of a detour from the topic, but in my experience the number of people who understand the term "real estate" even superficially is close to zero.
We've been seeing this kind of shitshow from the big tech companies for years on HN. It's really the only way for people whose livelihoods are at stake to get a modicum of support, so I certainly upvote them, and have been for years (mostly under my former alt).
Not the OP, but I generally prefer JDBI for persistence in Java. Much less random glue/boilerplate vs Hibernate. It doesn't seem to have an official Quarkus integration, but you can just pull it in like any other dependency.

What about taxes and utilities that landlord has to pay to city/county?
From the README in the repo:

"This repo is a fork of the Go repo (https://github.com/golang/go). Nearly all of Biscuit's code is in biscuit/."

From one of the linked papers:

"Biscuit has nearly 28 thousand lines of Go, 1546 lines of assembler, and no C."

There is C code in biscuit/user/c, but it appears to be userland test programs, not kernel code.

> I further understand that fees, penalties, or interest for not paying rent or making a housing payment on time as required by my tenancy, lease agreement, or similar contract may still be charged or collected.

This part seems like an odd choice, if we're already amending the rental contract in terms of timeliness, it seems odd to double-down on late-payment fees.
Except Apple doesn’t encrypt iCloud uploaded content with client-side-stored encryption keys. It has been and will continue to be subpeonable. Section 230 concerns internet services, not all technology.
Landlords probably should have considered this possibility when making their investment in rental property. They wouldn't be in this position had they left that home on the market for an actual resident to buy.
> There's some research claiming that sight is almost useless if you get it past the age of five.

For what it's worth, here's my story with amblyopia.

My paediatrician failed to diagnose congenital hyperopia which resulted in amblyopia by the age of five. After a couple of years of eyepatches I was told my vision in the affected eye would never improve. My ophthalmologist explained that past the age of five the brain doesn't have the neuroplasticity to "learn to see" with the amblyopic eye.

To describe the condition, it feels as though the affected eye sees in very low resolution. I was somehow able to know what word I'm looking at after staring at it for a couple of seconds, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't tell individual letters apart.

At university, when my nonamblyopic eye got overstrained, I would patch it and use the amblyopic eye with the aid of software screen magnification. A couple of years later I realized that my formerly amblyopic eye suddenly sees almost as well as the nonamblyopic one. I suspect the fact that my amblyopic eye was unwittingly overprescribed by 1 diopter might have played a role by giving it an advantage for reading even when not using an eyepatch.
Since you mentioned media's role, Matt Taibbi recently argued[1] that the media has somewhat recently departed from norms that were followed throughout the 20th century. To ensure the widest audiences possible, the CBSes and later CNNs of the world largely aimed to report stories from a "neutral" perspective (really a centrist perspective). Taibbi argues that in the last couple decades, though, even major media outlets have carved out biased perspectives to inspire more loyalty in smaller sets of people.

Point being that I think you're right that the media played an important role in contextualizing mass communication and controlling bias. Not only does social media disintermediate mass communications, the intermediaries themselves are now ignoring roles they historically performed.

Because at the end of the day, security is run by humans, who are imperfect and variant day to day. And also, the software used was likely programmed by one developer, and used by another. The user does not have the same depth as the developer, and did not assign specific byte-code definitions to the text option list. Thus the text interpretation is imperfect.
My guess as an experienced anesthesiologist is that the most likely cause is infection. Anesthesia is far behind in terms of probability, although not 100% excluded. Even a random stroke would probably be more likely.

I see you have never tried to collect on a debt. The expected repayment rate for these rent debts is probably going to be single-digit cents on the dollar.
Yes.

FirefoxOS had some obvious revenue potential.

The pattern here of course is that every attempt to raise extra revenue caused storms of protest amongst Mozilla supporters.
Even Minix 3 is fairly small. "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" was synced with Minix 3 in its latest edition (2006). It's all the crud in later releases where things started getting junked up, after Tanenbaum got a windfall of cash, gave his students the keys to the kingdom, so they ended up importing large parts of NetBSD, sloppily. Say hello to 3-hour build times and a codebase that no one contributes to anymore.

To be fair, in many places (including the SFBA) you could get a rent reduction just by asking these last few months. My rent was knocked down significantly because we asked (and circumstances were reasonable), and I know of people on month to month leases who got reductions by threatening to move out.
Most corporations still treat anyone that is on their "corporate network" as trusted.

VPN being used for remote workers generally, but endpoints are not well protected at all, and you still gain access to various resources just by virtue of having the right IP address and being able to route to something.

As a security engineer trying to get companies to invest more in Zero Trust type technologies where endpoints aren't necessarily trusted just because they have the right IP, it's difficult to get that mindset to change.

That’s fine, I agree. I disagree with containment as a strategy but IF you want to practice containment asymptomatic infection is relevant. Altho just so you know there is essentially no evidence that COVID-19 spreads asymptomatically. However I can point you to a bunch of studies strongly demonstrating pre-symptomatic spread (important distinction).

My point is COVID-19 stands for coronavirus infectious disease 2019. If you have no symptoms you have no disease. You don’t have COVID-19 without symptoms, you have a SARS-2 infection. The distinction is incredibly important.
Every nuclear power plant in the United States has been a money pit and produced the most expensive electricity. Not a single one has opened on time or stayed within its budget, and all have required government assistance. Plus, the spent fuel has no place to go, it stays on site in concrete casks, potentially forever.
When HN's demographic imagines such legislation, they are thinking about how racist views get quickly kicked off of other platforms, and they want those other platforms to suffer. You won't hear any of these proponents complain about someone getting banned on HN, because it's an environment where their line of thinking is dominant.
This is pure Kafka: prosecuted for unknown crimes, indicted by an unknown accuser, and lost in the system.

"which just happen to be more prevalent on the conservative side."

But who is speaking.
This totally ignores the fact that a big reason salaries are so high in these markets is because cost of living is very high as well. Living on 25K a year wouldn't even cover your shared accommodation costs.

Sorry that I didn't read much. But above comment section there are directly contradicting comments. One person says he may have received 5 DMCA notices and another person says it is not true.

An advantage of hydrogen is that it can be used in fuel cells, producing only water as reaction product. Using hydrocarbons of any sort in existing engines leads to the production of nitrogen oxides due to the presence of nitrogen in the air.
If that's your position, then people will begin resorting to violence. Your property is only secured by force. Put the people in desperate situations and they will no longer play by the rules which put them at an extreme disadvantage.

This is the lesson every corrupt nation learns the hard way. We agree to the laws of the nation to secure peace, but when that peace becomes oppressive, when that peace means slavery to the oligarchy, that peace is no longer peace but silent war.

The people will not tolerate this extreme inequality anymore.

Edit: to those claiming what I've said is "hateful" or incendiary...this is simply the truth -- as proven by history. Don't shoot the messenger.

I am impressed with how far off-base your analysis is. I mean, I'm struggling to frame the state of mind where someone might assemble those conclusions.

Techdirt's headlines reflect exactly what's in the article. Instead of click-baity, a reasonable person might call that accurate.

Mike Mansick's coverage of complex legal articles is extraordinarily good. He's one of a small number of journalists who make complex legal understandable without butchering or omitting relevant details.

As for the Daily Outrage, well, okay. Techdirt covers outrageous behavior. TDA is a little simplistic but it's not off base.

A relevant side note: I've been calling out biased reporting for 30 years. Not because it makes my bad team look bad but because addressing bad behavior unequally provides nurturing spaces for it to thrive. Techdirt is one of the few publications that consistently called out bad behavior by the Obama administration - sometimes it was the ONLY publication doing so.

I didn't want to see Obama vilified or lionized. I wanted corruption outed and problems fixed and I really don't give a damn who the PotUS is.

Feel free to respond here with other news publications that don't change their national coverage methods, depending on who's holding the White House.
Remember that Mediawiki (MW) is not just Wikipedia (WP and co.) I run several MW instances and the sitewide sidebar is fully customisable which is handy. Many users are used to the LHS holding "tools". You could also/instead put a hierarchy tree of say categories in it.

I'm not absolutely sure but I think you might even be able to create your own user version of the sidebar if you create a suitably named user page. I'm not sure what WP sites allow you to do but MW has a lot of user customisation options built in.

The cause that was announced was that there was not enough power available. These weren't PSPS (public safety power shutoffs), which are driven by fire-related concerns around infrastructure.

This seems quite significant. But I was confused by this quote:

I'm waiting for California to start taxing the hell out of ICE-powered vehicles to discourage their purchase on the used market, or just hike gas prices so high it's an enthusiasts-only tolerated kind of thing.

That matches my experience actually having worked on the GCP support team. The TAMs just deferred anything technical to the support team... unnecessarily escalating things and being pushy even though we were already investigating the support request with highest priority.
Not to keep flogging my own work, but something kinda similar is my blurred rounded rectangle shader[1]. That is super-fast and produces very nice smooth shadows, but is limited in the shapes it can blur because it uses tricks that make a lot of assumptions about them. I also prototyped light sources other than gaussian, specifically disk, and I think that generalizes pretty well.

Given that the original article is blurring glyphs, one thing that might be worth exploring is decomposing the glyph into primitive shapes. For example "b" can be a rect for the stem, an ellipsoid for the main bowl, and another ellipsoid (with negative sign) for the inner countour of the bowl. It doesn't have to be perfect because you're only rendering the blurred shapes. And no doubt you could have some kind of automated process that refines the decomposition when it can use more primitive shapes.

Though our techniques are different, it's interesting (and not terribly surprising) that they both use some of the same techniques under the hood, specifically distance fields, and that we cite some of the same people.

I should mention that of course shadows and blurs are not the same thing, but sometimes you can use one for the other in a pinch :)

>It might lower payment rate (if an eviction isn't coming those folks may put their money toward more immediate issues like healthcare/food).

It is tough to feel bad that landlords might have to temporarily sacrifice their profitability so their tenants don't literally starve to death. Comments like this are just telling on themselves that they care more about the financial health of the home owner class than the literal health of the renter class. Once again, this doesn't change how much a tenant owes. It just removes the ability to kick a tenant out. Courts will work to resolve these financial disputes once we are over the pandemic.
Stopping lay-offs? Probably not. Demanding hospitals provide free care that is relevant to preventing or limiting the spread of a dangerous communicable disease? Absolutely. As the saying goes: "The Constitution is not a suicide pact." When it comes down to it, in an emergency we can do whatever we collectively think is necessary for survival.
This only hurts poor people.
It seems like a right measure, but it also seem like something a federal agency should not be able to do. At most it should be a recommendation to states.
I believe the landlord also has a duty to maintain the house in habitable condition, no matter whether the rent is paid or not.

We do that all the time. Major industries are bailed out all the time by the government with negligible interest loans. We've literally done that in COVID times already.

So if your grandma rents out her second house to someone, they should be allowed to live there rent-free past the eviction deadline?

I disagree. When a company goes under for a bad investment, they need to not be bailed out. But when the government comes in and says it’s illegal to work your job period, the government needs to pay all the lost income from that forced closure. That’s all I’m saying.
