It's not exactly hard to imagine what problems occur here. You spend a huge chunk of your life saving to buy a home, and you plan it so that you can pay the taxes on it when you retire, then the rest of the city forces you to "enjoy" higher taxes you never demanded, predicted, or wanted, based on an income stream that you no longer have to pay it with, suddenly driving you out of the home/neighborhood/town you worked your entire life to finally afford. In many senses it's hardly "fair".

I don't know what the answer is here; I see it as a tough policy challenge. There might very well not be a solution that's "fair" to everyone. If you think there's an easy "moral" solution and you can't think of decent arguments for both sides, I feel like you're only kidding yourself.

I really recommend that game, it's a fresh take on the original Quest for Glory games and is really fun to play.

Otherwise for people who prefer games that copy more the Quest for Glory concept, there's:

- Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok

- Mage's Initiation

- Quest for Infamy

Those 3 games are also good but honestly Hero-U is just more fun to play and feels fresher, it's just a copy of the old formula.
Using more than one entire bay leaf is often too much. Is a strong spice. Is poisonous in big amounts but half a leaf here and there adds a nice flavor.

On the other hand, I had seen americans before to mistake bay leaves and cherry laurel. Specially when trying to harvest leaves in gardens. Don't do that. They look similar but cherry laurel contains cyanide.
Paperspace solves the pain around mlops, FloydHub improves deep learning workflows - both target purely technical users. The notebook of choice in both cases is Jupyter/JuperLab.

With Deepnote, our focus is improving usability of notebooks as a medium for both data scientists and non-technical users. We want to build a really good notebook experience that plays well with the rest of your stack and helps data science teams work better with the rest of the organization.
They don't believe he was innocent, at best they believe the question is still up for debate and at worst they believe he is guilty but are putting off a public claim until things calm down.
How awesome is it that we're all absolute legends? Right?
What I’m saying is that the statement “and they apologized” is true and very significant. It’s extremely uncommon to get that much. Picturing a job interview scenario. People are all emotion and that fragment does the job. Not picturing IRC with a bunch of invested people here, in which case yes, your point is logically valid there.
FDR was terrible? Wow. I was preaching to a cult. Sorry. Please go back to your fantasy.

I'm not sure about 95% of doctors being incompetent. If nothing else they are much better trained than the average person offering advice.
I don't think 20th century Italy is an apt metaphor for the USA today. European politics involved several parties, and the USA only two, so much less horse-trading involved.

Also, I haven't heard anything coherent from antifa, and they're not a political party, so not sure why or how to listen to them at all. I would just call the National Guard the next time they strike a match or throw an M80, which would prevent them from driving down the interstate to the next downtown. This is not a similar situation to Kent State at all.
I ignore all calls to my phone, my wife has set my voicemail up to say I'm deaf, to text me instead.

I've got a rather expensive system set up to every doorbell, and smoke alarm in the house that also functions as my alarm clock in which it'll vibrate the mattress (just a small circular vibration device to place under the bed).

Lip-reading over video is good enough IF you can hear enough, so because I have a cochlear implant I can do both and that's usually good enough. Without the processor on, I'm profoundly deaf - so video would be quite useless. (thus the reasoning for a vibrating smoke alarm thingy).

I keep my phone on vibrate-only.

At the end of the day I'm a little different because I rely on my cochlear implant and for some people in some communities (see deaf vs Deaf), there's quite a lot of stigma.
Do you have any code samples that demonstrate the code generator, instrumentation, and observability tools for ASN.1?

How do I code gen clients/servers for Java, Python, Golang, C++, Node, PHP, etc. How can I instrument distributed tracing for requests? How do I talk to these services from my web frontend (grpc web equivalent)? How do I talk to these from my embedded system (proto lite equivalent)?
Feels weird to have one of these threads without a subthread of people posting what they made in the tool, so: https://i.imgur.com/rR5On9G.gif
1) One of the reasons why prices skyrocket is because people who would feel the pinch of the rising prices and probably move, don't.
2) Nobody has the right to own an asset for pennies on the dollar indefinitely. Because property tax rates are heritable and transferable geographically (once you reach a certain age and only in certain counties) you are creating a tax advantaged class of people in California.
The number of detected events depend on the volume of space surveyed. So, for some increase in detector sensitivity x you get x^3 more events, roughly speaking.

We’re just getting better at detecting them.
The world has gone 75 years without real fascism or Nazis, so the definitions shouldn't be changing, yet they have over the last 20 years. Older dictionaries and encyclopedias very clearly contradict the newer ones on the left-right measure of fascism and Nazis.

So, correcting for the projection:

"I understand that it is appealing to try to dilute the meaning of "fascism" by applying it overly broadly until it loses its meaing. Whataboutism is also convenient way for the Left to distance themselves from the evils committed by the left-wing Nazis and other far-left fascist groups."

The facts don't change just because some people want to fling a dehumanizing insult.
I work with cannabis and CBD/CBG/CBN/CBDV/CBN-D.

I understand that others view may be that this has been marketed to death (in some very MLM-esque ways).

These products either help you or they don't. Some people with ocular pressure disorders can see large improvements to quality of life (vision) by using crude oil CBD. Nerve damaged individuals sometimes see relief with CBG. People with chronic sleep disorders can sometimes find relief with CBN / D9THC combos, while still others utilize D9 THC by itself to stimulate appetite, and still others may use products that contain D9 THC / THCV combinations to lose weight.

I just wanted to state that most of the stuff regarding everyone and their brother using CBD products to relax and have reduced anxiety is bullshit lifestyle business snake-oil, but those same products can immensely help a small fraction of the population struggling with life-altering pain management issues. Please don't discount the above cannabinoids when searching for solutions.

The only thing that made sense was that an initial infection triggered idiopathic pain long after the infection was gone.
Sure, but right-of-way isn't this bulletproof defence. You can have right-of-way and still be prosecuted for hitting a ped.
You're really not coming off as rude at all.

It's actually helpful. The bottom line is that I want to be supportive. And if I don't know how, I might make a guess at it and that guess might be the natural response of "try to help fix their problem."

It makes sense that you just don't want to hear that. I can empathize avec depression. Just listen to me and be patient with me. You can't fix this and it's kind of insulting that you try, as if I was too dumb to think up your idea.

(This also relates to software reviews too: I've spent a week on this problem. You suggesting I'm doing it wrong after five minutes of review can be really insulting)
Then you move. That's how it works; if you can't afford the property taxes, you can't afford to live there.
> The most complex equipment the human race has ever designed can move nuclear waste.

Concrete and a train is the usual method.

Nuclear waste isn't some magic death substance. It is hazardous, but so are a lot of other substances that are dealt with in large volumes every day, and again, nuclear waste isn't even that large of a volume!

Meanwhile coal plants pump radioactive particles directly into the air, and communities surrounding coal plants have higher rates of cancer, but people complain less because it is in the air and not in barrels labeled with a scary symbol.

With modern nuclear plant designs, the waste would be even less, and there are even designs for plants that would use existing nuclear waste as fuel.

Nuclear is a technology with trade-offs like anything else. There is no need to dismissing it outright.
I found a few places in Beverly Hills where people were paying over 100x less than their neighbors, which is insane. I wonder if posting screenshots of this map up in various neighborhoods showing nearby inequality would be enough combat the "poor old grandma getting kicked out of her house" counterpoint that's pretty much entirely fictional.
> The desire to transition was very rare as far as I understand.

The survival rate of openly transgender people was very low, too. As society has grown more accepting, the cost/benefit analysis changed. Saying that as somebody who lived in the closet for decades until that calculus became more favorable.
The main advantage that EDF has that allows it to work well isn't that effective out of France. They still do good work, but they act much more like a private company than an SoE, which is why it's so much more successful in France.
A buyback is just a way to structure a dividend for better tax treatment. Do stock buybacks and dividends form a larger fraction of corporate earnings now than they did historically?
> There’s no way or even motivation to describe those board specific miscellanies in such way that Linux Kernel drivers can dynamically consume and adapt to, or decide how to behave.

It doesn't seem like an intractable problem to standardize and document this sort of thing. Once you know that pin 45 is connected to a model ABC123 backlight controller, you know to communicate with it on pin 45 using the ABC123 backlight controller driver. If the same pin is used for multiple outputs, no problem, standardize the method for switching between outputs and describe which pins are switched to which devices using which control pins in a machine-readable table.

Apparently they haven't done this, so how do we get them to start?
I hear that. It took a reluctantly ordered sleep study for doctors to even take my case seriously (since I was in incredible shape). Then when I picked up the machine they said they were expecting someone morbidly obese.

Sometimes people just get a bad luck of the draw, and no amount of "hard work" can fix genetics.
okay, so smoke some weed and go about your day? why is this even posted here?
This is literally not a problem. I drive practically everywhere and love it. The way people act is pretty normal: they peek out between the cars, then sort of obviously act like they want to step out. And you're driving, what, max 30 mph in such a place? Easy to stop. Any time I'm a pedestrian people usually stop. Any time I'm a driver I usually stop.

The balance is pretty easy.
I don't think it really works that way. Think about battery power, it isn't going to scale linearly. If land costs are a big issue (and limitation) this is true. If wind and sun aren't uniform, this is true. If the premise was true then we would have always only used coal because it is so cheap. You don't have to eliminate the duck curve, but smooth it out. There's also many other reasons to have a well diversified portfolio. It would be ridiculous to say "only wind" or "only solar." I'm not sure why this argument is made with nuclear when we don't do it in with any other source nor have we done it historically. It is just a non sequitur and a weird argument to make.
> An income tax per parcel does not scale. How do you tax rentals? Who pays the tax? What if you want to own multiple homes?

I was not proposing an income tax per parcel, I was proposing a flat tax per parcel and also an income tax on everyone who lives in the city.

Parcel taxes should be paid by the owner of the parcel. Income taxes should be paid by the earner of the income. It's not hard to deal with.
I wouldn't call him "biased". He has a strong opinion, but it's not based on nothing nor is it a product of some sort of ulterior motive. He has a strong opinion about these games that I agree with.

I had a C64 growing up so I didn't really play any of the Sierra games til I had a PC in college, and I remember feeling really confused about why people liked them so much. They felt unplayable and frustrating to me.
I suspect the draw tools simultaneously draw to 2-4 different canvases, with the input coordinate transformed for each, and the display cycles between them.

Just transforming the canvas itself can't explain how it works with patterned paints.
Try adding `?sr=44.1` in the URL query to set custom AudioContext sample rate matching the mp3 file. Usually it's 44.1 kHz, so it's the default value. On desktop Ubuntu, both Chrome and Firefox can seamlessly rescale the sample rates, but I haven't tested the app anywhere else.
I gather the protobuf/gRPC implementations are quite good for a lot of languages, but I can tell you typescript doesn't seem to be one of them. There's an etcd client for node which doesn't seem to be actively maintained, and I only needed a few things out of etcd, so I figured I'd just generate a gRPC client and build my own library [0] to do what I needed. This was not fun. I got all kinds of crazy errors about missing definitions, and I ended up having to copy paste .proto files from a bunch of random google projects into my repo to make this all work. Maybe I'm just doing it completely wrong? :P

I am also dealing with a at least one autoimmune condition (TBD what exactly is the full story) that causes chronic pain and is seriously damaging my career. I suspect I'm not in as bad a way as you, but know that you're not alone. Sending good thoughts. One day at a time; hoping for more good days than bad for you.

He seems a little non-committal if not skeptical.

One telling exchange near the end regarding the gravitational path integral they used:

* * *

"1:18:41 SC: And there is this trick that you can introduce, ’cause what you’re supposed to do is say, well, integrate up all of the spacetimes that match on to this particular wave function you’re looking at. But the trick is, instead of integrating all the four-dimensional spacetimes that match on to this condition you’re looking at, you can just say, well, I’m going to integrate over all four dimensional spaces, so I’m going to forget about spacetime. I’m just going to do what we call the Euclidean path integral because Euclid just talked about space, not time. And…

1:19:13 NE: Oh, you went there. [laughter]

1:19:15 SC: I did, I did. This is where I’m going. And so it was sort of like you could justify… It’s a trick. It’s a mathematical trick. And it’s very rigorously justifiable in certain simple cases in quantum mechanics, and it certainly has the smell of being correct in certain more subtle cases in quantum field theory. In quantum gravity, what they were doing with it, it just seemed to be a trick so they could get a finite answer at the end of the day, and it was very unclear why it had anything to do with the real world, but they suggested it did. Maybe they were right. And since then, I think we’ve become a little more comfortable with the idea that we can use this trick of calculating quantum gravity wave functions by integrating over the Euclidean path integral, the set of all the spaces that end up looking like what we want, instead of all the spacetimes that look like what we want.

1:20:05 NE: Yes.

1:20:05 SC: And that’s what you’re doing, isn’t it? That’s the kind of wormholes that you’re invoking.

1:20:09 NE: Yes, right. That’s what I was trying to sweep under the rug.

1:20:11 SC: I know. [laughter] And you were right to do so, but I just like to live dangerously here.

[chuckle]

1:20:18 SC: So Lenny and Juan have wormholes that are literally good old in spacetime wormholes, and you have wormholes that are in these fake Euclidean spaces that you used to calculate the entropy.

1:20:29 NE: That’s exactly right. Yeah, that’s exactly right. And these fake Euclidean spacetimes have more boundaries. There are more edges than our original spacetime, which means that these wormholes are connecting these… More edges than we have in our original spacetime, and therefore, it’s difficult to make sense of them in terms of the original spacetime that we’ve started with."

The solution is to let people run a tab with the government. Make the minimum payment the Prop 13 rate, but if there's a change in ownership, you have to pay back the difference plus a fair rate of interest.

This ensures that no one has to move because their home appreciated, but it also ensures that no one gets to pay taxes like their home never appreciated, but then pocket appreciation at sale time.
Bringing this stuff up is a tell for writers who parents are from higher income backgrounds.

I worked from 12 up, from a farm to a bakery/barista to a salesman. Basically, I was the oldest of 5, there just wasn’t time/$ for the paid activities that a lot of suburban kids do.

Work as a teen is similar to sports in terms of life lessons and leadership development. It’s so lame when people pity people out of ignorance. The dozen people from the barista gig I kept up with mostly did pretty darn well in life this far, 20 years later!
A functional democracy requires that all parties agree to abide by the result of the election and peaceful transfer of power.

Endorsing violent resistance is the opposite of that.
Critical Questions to Ask Before Starting an AI Project
Somehow my next door neighbor never illegally dumped 15,000,000 tons of pig shit, contaminating my drinking water for the next generation.
I've been in hospital recently after suffering a large oil burn to my left arm, and part of my chest. As most of us probably know, wards get very noisy. I only ever used my cochlear implant processor when I'd see the team of doctors first thing in the morning, otherwise I'd just chill and watch my laptop with captions on.

Absolutely shocked me every time I'd turn my processor on and the world would roar into my ears. "How the fuck is anyone sleeping" I'd ask myself.
New England Patriots?
Given some of the Twitter replies they've succeeded in their PR move of making the controversy go away with the least change, growth or cost to themselves.
Part of me agree the attitude of "you should be able to figure out things on your own".

My point is that since some tools & trivia things really don't matter, we just need good defaults and move on to do things that matter. Where to find good defaults? You can ask around in your network, or figure out these things on your own. Or just pick whatever have good social proof.
Who Gets to Feel Secure?
Another important part about forward-and-backward-compat is that protos support passing unknown fields. If I add a new field into a shared proto that A, B, and C all use if A and C have been updated but B was never updated as long as B uses the proto correctly it will have the new field delivered to C.

I use this at my current job where our client is a hardware appliance that we are not at all allowed to update so, if we need to add new data for our backend to handle that the client downloads locally we can and we don't need to worry about pushing new client code to do it.

This is magic for anyone who has been using Retrofit or something similar and sees fields dropping as normal.
There are already flat taxes per parcel.

So you are taxing an owner of a rental on their total income rather than the income they earn on the property?
Pretty sure GP is saying that making those decisions for which healthcare to get, which credit card to get, etc. take a lot of time away from high level thinking, and I’d have to agree.

If I understand, your argument seems to be “just pick any and don’t worry” or “only care about success, not the risks of having bad/no healthcare, bad credit cards, etc when your startup fails”

A youtuber debating what camera to get usually doesn’t impact their livelihood in the long run, healthcare, finances, and other aspects of running a business definitely can.
The image of 90 year old widows being forced out of their home was how prop 13 was passed so...
Well, the US has this rule that increases safety and the UK doesn't. Comparing major cities reveals that the UK does better than the US does, though.

I don't think you've adequately proven your point. For instance, it's not an outrageous hypothesis that frequent uncontrolled pedestrian crossings readies drivers for that event thereby increasing safety whereas rare uncontrolled pedestrian crossings mean that drivers are surprised for and unable to handle the situation.

In a systems thinking sense, it's not obvious that fixed pedestrian/car intersections are the safest.
Ah, duh! I'm so dumb. If only the rest of us were smart enough to think of these simple and fair solutions ourselves :)
ASN.1 is indeed a spec. You'd need to find a library to use it, and there are more in C than in whatever fancy modern language you're probably using. But, there are lots to choose from.

There's multiple canonical wire encodings. XER is the "XML encoding rules" if you want something human readable. "BER" is the binary format, although it has some ambiguities so there's "DER", the Distinguished Encoding Rules, which resolves a lot of that by using essentially a subset of BER and specifying how you should behave in various corner cases. In practice, you want to write your messages as DER, but accept messages from other parties using the full BER.

It's an older standard, but it's used heavily in telecom. To pick an example, if you make a cell phone call, especially out in the sticks somewhere, there's probably going to be a media gateway controller that figures out how to route your call without decompressing and recompressing it a bunch of times, and it talks to the various devices routing your call over H.248, which is specified entirely in ASN.1.
> We say deaf & hard-of-hearing please, not hearing-impaired.

Whoops, my apologies.

> Flashes / vibration are common alerts yes.

A quick search reveals that there's a mishmash of different ways to use a phone's flash for notifications. Are there any equivalent options for desktop/laptop systems?

In any case, thanks for taking the time to engage with me.
This entire comment thread seems like Exhibit A in why banana_giraffe doesn’t usually tell other people.
The list of horrendous UI decisions goes on and on. A big one for me is left turn lanes. Often there are 2 left turn lanes (let's call them A and B) and they turn into 3 lanes on the other road (let's call them X, Y, Z) and it's not obvious whether A->X, B->Y, or A->Y, B->Z. I've seen many cases of both instances. They really should paint down colored lanes or something to make it unambiguous.
whats the actual diagnosis?
No self-hosted/own cloud options yet. At the moment, managing the hardware ourselves allows us to be more agile and iterate on the product faster. But definitely something we're considering for the future, thanks for the comment!
fortunately there is a financial instrument for exactly this situation: the reverse mortgage. it's kind of absurd to treat the quintupling in value of one's home as some sort of hardship.
