In a vague sense, no. Not really, as long as they do neither sell grapes/plants nor give away new plants and as long as they either destroy the plant before selling the home or alert the next homeowners that the grapes have restricted use. (grape plants live more than a year). No one will check, either, so long as use is restrained, and you aren't telling other folks how to do it with those particular grapes.

But on a larger scale than home use? Selling? Making jams or juices? It isn't really a tragedy, but someone did the work to develop the grapes, and I do think they should be rewarded for their labor.

Saw friends of friends leave sf and together rent a mansion in Hawaii.

If the bars, clubs, gyms, and even beaches shut down why stay if you are renting at market rate. It’s literally cheaper to move your belongings into storage and move into a vacation home with friends.

Also most sf apartments don’t have office space for all the tenants.

There is very clearly a separation between far-right and right in the same way there is a separation between far-left and left.

The problem is that this isn't clear to me any more. While I agree with you that there are ideological differences, the key political difference is that the far-left doesn't have a lot of political power, and the far-right does -- all the way up to the top. When the center-right votes for far-right leadership, it's difficult to draw distinctions between the center-right and far-right.

The right commonly presents all left-wing leadership as far-left. No candidate is sufficiently centrist too avoid the "socialist leftist" label, and be associated with the few actual radical leftists at the national scale. Again, that seems to happen with both center-right and far-right. If center-right isn't going to engage with regular-left except by pretending that they're all far-left, it blurs the distinction between regular-right and far-right.

So while there may be an ideological distinction to draw, when it comes to public engagement, the right wing has encouraged everybody to think of all of them as far-right. I would very much like to return to the days when center-left and center-right could argue with each other over ideological differences, but the dominance of far-right leaderhship makes such discussions feel moot. When it comes to effect, politics dominates ideology, and the effect on of somebody who votes for extremist leadership is the same whether they profess moderate or extremist views on the Internet.
For plant patents, it actually involves recognizing something. If a branch of your Apple tree mutates nd produces good tasting fruit, then by law, you can patent a plant that exists in only one instance in the wild prior to you recognizing its value and propagating it. That means that you can take that branch of the apple tree and grow it into a new variety and patent it. Because the patent is on asexually reproduced plants, you now have a patent on that variety, but you couldn't get a patent on a tomato for example where it's propagated by seed (good luck gettinga greenhouse to but tomato cuttings from you). The new strain can arise accidentally in the wild (but if there is more than one plant of that variety, then its nonpatentable! It has to be a freak variation that would not persist without your recognition or intervention). Or, it could be something you created through a breeding program, or by irradiation growing shoots (very common way of making new citrus varieties). But the patent is on the end plant, not the method.

These plant patents have nothing yo do with genetic manipulation/bioengineered/"gmo" plants. There, the DNA sequence itself, not the plant, is covered by the patent, its a whole different ball game
Good job, as expected by the Plasma team. I really feel like this is a big step in the right direction.

A personal wish however would be that we got a more modern look to more desktop environments. Both Gnome, Plasma and Pantheon (default in Elementary OS) are talked about as the best looking desktop environments, but I'd be lying if I said that any of them looked awesome. There's just something about them that make them feel weird. Sometimes it's just margins and whitespace, sometimes the font scale that seems inconsistent and sometimes it's the default icon packs that look a bit dated. I don't know, I'm not a designer, but it is definitely worse than both win10 and macOS 10.15.6

I think that if we want to grow the unix user base there's a bit of progress to be made in this department. Customisability is where we win today - but the defaults need to get better to attract more non tech oriented people.

There is always a distinct abundance of "trippy" games in these competitions. This list has "Track not found?!", "FourFold", "I want to Google the Game", and my favorite "CHOCH". I think it has to do with lack of resources pushing people to abstractions, but people more knowledgeable about these things can comment on that. There is a distinct lack of trippy games in the main stream, I am not a gamer but whenever I come across these small games I always wonder how it will feel like if this was a full fledged game. The last one I remember is perhaps Braid with its time travel (again, not a gamer, very out dated info) but its graphics are very normal.

> are people really weighing that so heavily that they’re moving?

Given region as a large portion of young/single professionals, I believe it. What you pay to move/break a lease is a fraction of what you’d save after a few months of “normal” rent. Or no rent if you’re going to stay with your parents. It will be relatively easy to move back when they need to, and prices will be better. This group has no deep local community dependancies (eg family, childcare, ete). and is still probably rather nomadic from their college days.

I personally live in Texas, lower COL, but I am tied into my local community due to family, owning my home, and general entrenchment type stuff that comes with age. Otherwise I’d have bailed in April for a rural or expat setting.

Yeah, the mask thing was one gigantic communications failure. I#ll give them the benfit of doubt, so, and asume they really believed COVID-19 was mostly transmitted through surfaces and less through droplets. Which would make masks less effecitive. Regardless, it was a gamble, one that didn't pay off considering all the rediculous discussions about masks right now. But then I am almost sure we would have the same discussions about other things, or even masks, if communication had been done differently.

If there was no rent control, prices would drop even more. Firstly landlords are afraid to permanently lock down at a lower price, offering free months of rent instead. Secondly rent controlled tenants are afraid to lose their apartments, that are still below the market rates.
Ask HN: Trying to find emulator that loads PNGs
Hi,

I remember someone had posted on here awhile ago about an intentionally limited emulator that loads games that are entirely stored within their own cover art. I have Google'd everywhere and can't seem to find it. Kind of like the js1kb competition, but the important thing was that the WHOLE game had to be within it's own PNG file. Thank you!

I think the last sentence summarizes the unspoken assumption in the article:

> it takes incredible amounts of courage, grit, discipline and patience to build a major company without outside financing

Maybe I've been spending too much time on Indiehackers, but I don't think many bootstrappers are trying to build "a major company", in the vein of huge, VC-funded businesses. I think the end goal for many indie hackers is a company that pays like a great job, but with less work and more autonomy and fulfillment (a "lifestyle business") - not one that puts a "dent in the universe".

I bought a house in the east bay, walking distance to a BART station. We contemplated “cashing in” on a rent controlled 2 or 3 BR apartment but prices on those haven’t dropped quite as much, and we still wouldn’t likely have a yard.

We have 3 kids and we were in a rent controlled 2BR in the Richmond district, but we had no w/d and the landlord was increasingly hostile.

At the end of the day my mortgage is $4200/mo which is about what we would have paid for an okay 2BR, probably without a yard.

My wife does not work right now and a house in SF was out of reach. We did see one 850 sq ft house in Portola District sell for below 850k in the between May and September. Everything else under 900k is either 1BR, 650 sq ft 2BR, or a TIC.

The animal transmission is, as far as I understood, backed up by genetic analysis of the virus. Which beats any circumstantial "evidence" by a long shot if you ask me.
I agree, that sounds a lot like "sort-and-sweep" or "sweep-and-prune" (I prefer the first name). This is an awesome algorithm and really simple. I once reimplemented an algorithm with sort and sweep to improve performance of a certain test case that took 45 seconds to compute. With sort-and-sweep it only needed about 100ms.
I'm curious, is there any canonical cockney rhyming slang for "dictionary" or "thesaurus"? Failing that does anyone have any suggestions to add to the lexicon for either or?
It's surprising this would need to be said on, presumably, a forum of engineers. Or perhaps the temptation to laugh at someone is greater than the boring admission that OP is using the program on inputs much larger than ever intended.
Honestly KDE has always been this way, adding features over polish. For example I used gnome shell and mac os back to back and gnome holds up very well against mac os, and if anything it feels like a more cohesive experience (consistent hotkeys, ui).
Man, my entire life I've been going back and forth between Gnome and KDE, I just settled (again) on stock Ubuntu (for some months now) but now that I see this video and the grass looks greener, again.

Guess I'm installing KDE Neon tonight...

Edit, I have to say that for the kids I'll stay on Gnome, it's very recognizable for them when compared to the iPads they use at school, much more so than KDE (and Win10 for that matter).

Bioengineered means a specific thing in this context. I dont like using the term "genetically modified" because, well, everything is genetically modified, thats how agriculture works. Bioengineering narrows down what's being discussed to genetic modifications using synthetic biology tools from the field of bioengineering. Even more specific would be to say they aren't transgenic plants. Were getting to the weird point now where you can use synthetic biological tools like crisper to change the DNA sequence of a plant, but because you aren't introducing a new genetic sequence, the resulting plant isn't considered a "GMO" because the legal definition is more concerned about transgenic sequences than the use of bioengineering tools. These are all just really vague and highly politicized terms.
Notice that octave has packages as well. In particular, it has the "signal" package which is a somewhat limited clone of the corresponding matlab toolbox. Depending on your specific needs it may be alright for your application. In my experience the "core" parts of packages are well-replicated, but the user-interfaces are somewhat lacking in the octave side. Since I use octave mostly non-interactively, I do not really care about that.
I get you point (it's perfectly valid and I even believe I can feel what you feel) but as for me I want it to be "one app = one icon" (same icon used to launch, minimize and activate any of the windows of the same app) and it drives me crazy no Linux DE other than KDE and good old Unity support this. I wish LXDE (the Raspberry Pi default), LXQt and XFCE didn't insist the Windows95 way of having separate buttons to launch and to minimize/activate a running app (which feels untidy to me) is the only correct way. C'mon, it's been a long since Windows 7 and Ubuntu Unity appeared, why keep emulating Windows 95?

Memory usage has greatly improved in my experience compared to a decade ago. (At least, in comparison to the available RAM.) Actually I felt that nowadays Gnome Shell with some extensions is more resource hungry.

I switched from KDE 3.5 / 4.0 to Unity and later Gnome around the time KDE 4 was first released (apparently 2008), for the same reason as you. But last year I switched back to KDE Plasma because Gnome felt unstable and slightly glitchy, and KDE is much smoother now.
I agree in general, but knowing the difference between pass-by reference and pass-by value is C++ 101.

Mastering C++ isn't even required to be productive using it, since there's no need to use all the language features simply because they exist. This also avoids the majority of footguns.

I always hate when people say stuff like "things were better back when..." specifically for the internet stuff. There are a lot of people that wax nostalgic about how "it was a better era" but in reality, it was god awful video quality, low effort or simple content, creators that made stuff when they felt like it, and much harder to use youtube as a search engine as opposed to just an entertainment machine.

The internet pre-today was just garbage. The issues with being tracked and Facebook...blah blah blah are all minor in comparison to it's convenience it's brought. Remember when you ACTUALLY had to make a forum post and engage with others online to maybe get the answer you were looking for? What about online shopping? Did you really like relying on some sketchy website that someone whipped up and didn't bother to secure your info with they're half-baked payment processing page?

The thing these people often forget is, that garbage content they think is so great is still there. They just don't actively look for it anymore. They just see the top promoted channels and go "oh wheres the good stuff!" but don't bother to search for it. They never sort by new I bet on any website.

Not sure what you are on about. It is an explanation of what he is looking at.

Do you need help interpreting the data and graph given previous conversation?
The height of the bars represent the number of deaths over different years and the bars are basically same height. I.e. considering all deaths, covid and actions taken (no lockdown but more distancing), no more than usual have died. Especially considering last year was a bit lower and therefore likely some old people who didnt die last year unfortunately did so this year.
Very different by almost any measure.

“A patent is a device that enables one man to claim special financial rewards for being the last link in the complicated social process that produced the invention.”

— Lewis Mumford

"Every machine has had the same history — a long record of sleepless nights and of poverty, of disillusions and of joys, of partial improvements discovered by several generations of nameless workers, who have added to the original invention these little nothings, without which the most fertile idea would remain fruitless. More than that: every new invention is a synthesis, the resultant of innumerable inventions which have preceded it in the vast field of mechanics and industry.

Science and industry, knowledge and application, discovery and practical realization leading to new discoveries, cunning of brain and of hand, toil of mind and muscle-all work together. Each discovery, each advance, each increase in the sum of human riches, owes its being to the physical and mental travail of the past and the present.

By what right then can any one whatever appropriate the least morsel of this immense whole and say — This is mine, not yours?"

— Peter Kropotkin

Howard Marks Memo: Coming into Focus [pdf]
I'm glad that you've outlined why property/ownership is much more complex than libertarians and conservatives typically acknowledge. I entirely agree with everything in your first paragraph, and it's all extremely important stuff.

However, I've lived in a wealthy suburban community that used single-dwelling zoning to exclude apartments, townhomes and low income housing, and this led me to do a bunch of reading about the way this zoning classification is used across the US. That reading left me with only one conclusion: it is almost entirely a classist tool, used by the wealthy to exclude everyone else. Of course, the communities that do this have lots of nice sounding justifications for it which do not sound remotely problematic. But dig a little deeper (I did, really), and I am fairly confident that it becomes completely clear what is actually going on.
I'm impressed with the engineering effort jailbreakers put into doing this.
