Weird flex.

People who aren’t paying rent after the pandemic started likely aren’t doing it for fun. Most likely they are underemployed, hence collections will stack up. “Living within your means” assumes it is even possible to find employment and a handful of life/medical/mental/family stability that not everyone has.

You seem to underestimate how much of modern life in the USA depends on credit. Electric, water, telephone, internet service require credit or suffer the costs and inconveniences of prepayment. Rental housing almost always requires credit checks in any desirable market.

You also seem to assume that collections can never be converted into a lean on your assets or garnishment of your wages. And that doesn’t even begin to crack the strange and painful tactics debt collectors use on your family, employment, friends, and other social pressures.

If you want plug-and-play and you're not averse to internet-enabled cameras, I use the Hive Indoor/Outdoor cameras and find them reliable, high quality and well-integrated in the app with push/email notifications and IFTTT. The fact they can tie into the home alarm system, smart lamps/plugs etc is a big win for me. Night vision works well over short distances.

I would say that it's worth trying to see some test video on whatever you go for before purchasing. I tried out a Ring Indoor Cam which is supposedly 1080p but only 15fps - it suffered from quite bad motion blur if you walked through a room at a good pace, as well as being visibly much lower bitrate than the Hive 1080p so I returned it.
The precision ball bearings thing reminded me of a news item from a few years ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/01/18...

The relevant part of the article:

> To anyone outside of the ballpoint pen manufacturing world, it might seem hard to understand what, exactly, is so surprising about this development. China already produces 38 billion ballpoint pens a year, according to China Daily, which is about 80 percent of all ballpoint pens in the world. That's a lot of pens, but there was a catch: China had long been unable to produce a high-quality version of the most important part of the pen, its tip.

> The tip of a ballpoint pen is what makes it a ballpoint pen. At the tip, a freely rotating ball is held in a small socket which connects it to an ink reservoir that allows the pen to write or draw lines. Manufacturing a ballpoint pen tip that can write comfortably for a long period of time requires high-precision machinery and precisely thin steel, but for years China was unable to match those crafted by foreign companies.

I think of consciousness as a feeling and nothing more. Similar to the feeling of free will, both are an "illusion" and we're not actually aware or free. The universe is made of instructions that everything follows and including us. We believing in awareness is just instructions for how we operate as subsystems of the Universe and like or unlike other subsystems of the universe. I find the idea simpler to grasp if you think of the Universe just bruteforcing every possible sequence of patterns and where we eventually have subsystems assuming they have awareness & free will.

> Not just FIRE people, but 99% of all retirees at any age end up doing nothing of note with their time.

If you spend some years just chilling and and are actually happy, then sure, why not. But there are so many retired people who do nothing, and are not happy.

For example, my mother, my mother and father in law, my other father in law, my grandmother - all retired, and all do absolutely nothing but watch TV and moan about other people all day. And they are all very obviously not happy, yet suggestions for things to do or get involved in always fall in deaf ears - they'd apparently rather sit and do nothing until they die.

I really, really don't get it.

Depends a lot on the city where you want to buy but more generally I think the current frenzy will ease out a bit once covid restrictions are done with, interest rates go slightly higher and there is more inventory in the market. I dont have any data suggesting this but I feel a lot of home owners are not selling at the moment because they would too need to pay a much higher price for their next home. But there is some contrary evidence too where some owners who want to downsize or move away from an urban area are looking to cash out big.

Abstract: Understanding Greenland Ice Sheet history is critical for predicting its response to future climate warming and contribution to sea-level rise. We analyzed sediment at the bottom of the Camp Century ice core, collected 120 km from the coast in northwestern Greenland. The sediment, frozen under nearly 1.4 km of ice, contains well-preserved fossil plants and biomolecules sourced from at least two ice-free warm periods in the past few million years. Enriched stable isotopes in pore ice indicate precipitation at lower elevations than present, implying ice-sheet absence. The similarity of cosmogenic isotope ratios in the upper-most sediment to those measured in bedrock near the center of Greenland suggests that the ice sheet melted and re-formed at least once during the past million years.
This aspect was so frustrating to me. He's far too dismissive of the reasons people spend money and buy things.

Yes, some people spend money on Louis Vuitton bags and fancy cars to show off. But other things people spend money on do legitimately make their life better, more comfortable, or happier. A house in a quieter neighborhood helps me sleep better. A bigger house, where my spouse and I can each have our private space helps our relationship. Clothes that fit well make me more comfortable. A reliable car makes my life less stressful. Are these things "keeping up" or "conspicuous consumption" just because I was not absolutely required to buy them? Is my partner a bad person if she'd rather have a quiet hotel room than stay in a hostel?

I do think that it's worthwhile to be introspective about how you spend your money, and if the things you're spending your money on actually do make you happier. But this black and white thinking is really counterproductive.
Do they do this though? I don't see anyone making specific policy proposals, just blaming "loopholes". What is the moral wrong here? Can anyone state it in a way that doesn't also apply to everyone else.

I suspect that people are less concerned about loopholes and more just jealous that some people make massively more than them.
Ah gotya. Yeah, I haven't added reverse searching to aho-corasick yet. Ran out of steam.

Either way, my point here is to be a counter-balance. To be fair, you did say, "But with Rust I managed to safely use." But the code you posted is technically unsound. It's not a huge deal if you know you'll always be feeding the program valid UTF-8. But it is worth mentioning here in this HN thread that is specifically comparing the safety properties of competing programming languages. :-)

Having owned and used the device I can attest to that. It was hard to get it to work reliably, and it certainly couldn't handle either small finely detailed items or bigger spaces like whole rooms.

It would do part of a room fine and then lose tracking and never be able to re-establish tracking and you would have to start all over again.

> Lots of hand waiving and describing the usual phenomena in other terms.

Not even that. These are impressionistic attempts to describe physics. I suggest people look into how Wolfram says he derived special relativity from his theory.

Spoiler, had you not know special relativity you won't have the slightest idea of what it is after he claims to derive it.
"I was using him as one of those pioneers which where faced with the universe acting strangely rather than anything to do with relativity."

Yeah, all I'm saying is that his total collection of contributions wasn't at stake here, so it was probably a bit easier to back down.

FWIW, my 'motivating anecdote' in this discussion is an old prof describing the earlier years of algebraic topology, which he had been very active in. There were apparently a number of older topologists who were pretty resistant to algebraization of the field. Which possibly had a lot to do with Poincare's attitudes about logic and proof.

I think artist coops (ie Floatplane-like) is one solution that can work.

That being said, I think a more scalable and better solution is more-so the "lean middleman" model (ie Itch-like). The problem with YouTube and Twitch isn't the core of their position in this system; the problem is that they're too big. They have thousands of employees, they're hosted on big cloud providers, and they're accountable to profit-seeking mega-corps; all of these things drive the revenue that creators see down, and the argument that they're fundamentally necessary in a system like this is tenuous.

Content moderation is definitely the hardest problem to solve at their scale, and its a strong argument for why they have to be so big. I think this is something that needs to be solved in two ways: first, by lowering the number of rules which need to be enforced (ie nudity? maybe that's ok, as long as the channel is properly age-gated and the age of the streamer is confirmed), and second, by increasing the bar to even getting a platform in the first place (ie it should take a week or so, manual approval of recognition of the rules, and some fee that the content producer actually has to pay which supports the platform and increases investment).

Big Tech is insanely conservative when it comes to any changes that would either hurt their sign-up metrics or hurt their ability to sell advertisements. This is where new platforms need to focus, because Big Tech fundamentally and intrinsically cannot compete against you there. What options open up when you throw out the idea that you need to sell advertisements, and you throw out the idea that "growth at any cost" is the goal (big tech loves that for the growth part; no one pays attention to the "any cost" part).
If they were for sale, they weren't homes. They were houses.

Seriously. It creeps me out that RE people call things nobody has even lived in "homes". Places somebody else lived in are even worse. How do they know it was a home? It might have been crack house. "Crack home"? Anyway what you can buy is just the house part. It becomes home after you make it that, if you succeed.

The idea that you can buy a home emphasizes the worst of American capitalism.

> null pointer dereference (C)none (Zig)runtime (Rust)runtime

Not really rusts pointers are the `&`/`&mut` references which are compiler time proven to be not just non null but actually differentiable and potentially writable in the given context. Which are MUCH stronger guarantees then just "not null".

> 2. only when using tagged unions

Which in rust are the default types, unions didn't exist for quite a while and require the use of unsafe making them heavily discouraged to be used.

Besides that it's not that rust enums are tagged unions where you at runtime check a tag and then access them, or where you "panic/throw an exception" when you try to access the wrong type, but incoperated into the type system and language given quite a different experience to classical tagged unions.

Lastly type confusions applies to more then just "tagged union style access" but also subtype stile access in which case rust can use trait objects instead of sum types.

Besides that many of the ways listed zig can archive more safety (weather applicable or not) are also applicable to C. And some of the checks Zig do can be "somewhat" archived in C too by combining non standard compiler options and code analysis tools.

Don't get me wrong. Zig is a very interesting language and I would argue the spiritual successor of C in how it's designed.

Still I guess the main ways to add more safety (and similar) to languages like Zig (or C) is to compile them to WebAsm. The module isolation while still being able to call other functions without to much overhead which can be archived with WebAsm might lead to quite interesting trends in the future.
Wouldn't that be the default? Like in it's limited way a Tesla must think something like darn I'm going to hit that truck rather a red Tesla that is me is going to...
I wonder are they doing this because of a resources issue; do including all the unique words put too much of a hit on their servers and it's way cheaper to give generic results?
I'd save it for the last entry. Or you might not get to work on the rest of the list.
If they enforced the laws already on the books, they'd have to pass new laws to fix things. I see that as a net positive. If you selectively enforce against illegal immigrants, well, that's very much a 'rules for thee, not for me' situation isn't it?
I'm a systems engineer and a software engineer. A couple tips that are relevant to this story:

1. Applications do not need DNS servers, ever. Hosting platforms do. The way I read this is that it's some odd form of split horizon where one DNS server seems to replicate to larger DNS servers, yet the single server is what carries most of the critical information.

2. State should be transferred from where you gather input to where it becomes actionable by an eventually consistent process. ie: If you store your customer CNAMEs in ERP, then something like webhooks to a service that maintains the state in machine readable form should verify, accept/deny, and do something with that change (like update DNS).

3. Customer systems and core/critical systems should be separate. The fact that critical contact systems for employees were not separate from

4. Have a DR plan and artificially enact it at cadence, doing so even in a sterile environment is better than nothing. Successful DR's in production are best. If the first time you live test your DR strategy is when all is lost, then all is most likely lost and at best you have a lot of hours of work ahead of you.

5. The holy grail is replayable audit frameworks. This could mean capturing diffs but it can be as simple as logging the current state of a given $thing and sending it to an off-local system.

> The issue is that extra 3-months of difference. Whether December 2020 approval was premature or not.

And yet the USA approved the Pfizer vaccine on Dec 11, only a week after the UK.

I'm not sure why there's a 3 month difference in approving the AZ vaccine, but I do know that the USA has some particularly draconian import rules on foreign medicines, especially untested ones, so perhaps extra bureaucracy, and almost certainly a different testing regime for medicines to the UK and EU.

I'm satisfied that the UK MHRA and JVI have satisfactorily assessed the data from AZ, Pfizer, Moderna, (and Novavax). They're world experts in their fields.

Please let us know what you find.
Cubify was a rebranded Structure Sensor, which was a Primesense camera, which was the original Kinect (that Apple bought in 2013.)

It used structured light: project a static pattern of infrared dots and then measure parallax using an infrared camera a couple inches from the projector to calculate depth. It worked well, but can't be miniaturized as it relies on a large offset between projector and camera. Orbbec make similar cameras today, e.g. https://orbbec3d.com/product-astra-pro

Modern depth cameras, like the LiDAR Scanner in iPhones and iPads, use a different technique: time-of-flight (ToF), which shoots laser pulses and measures the time taken to reflect back to infer depth. Apple leads the field here, because they're the first to integrate a "direct" ToF sensor into mobile devices, which has a number of advantages over the "continuous wave" ToF found in Android phones.

Right; an extra $8550 per year might not be hard to absorb if your budget (supported by a larger nest egg) is already $150k per year, but when it's $30k per year, that's a good 30% increase. Not small.
