You are drastically minimizing the cost of lockdowns. Demanding that nobody have any physical contact with anyone they don't live with is far more than a slight inconvenience, especially for children, single people, and those with existing mental health issues. It is entirely reasonable to consider whether the benefits are worth the costs, and people who come to different conclusions than you are probably not evil cartoon villains.

In the next few years inflation is expected to be high ie dollar value is going to go down so house prices could go up as well as interest rates are also expected to go up. So if you are interested in buying in the current situation I would advise buying as soon as you can and if going to mortgage lock down a lower interest rate.

> Another big reason why the vaccine orders were delayed in the EU was that many governments were unconvinced about mRNA vaccines and wanted a classical vaccine.

Which is a weird stance in my opinion. Even if you're skeptical about safety and effectiveness, not ordering them as soon as they're available makes little sense. Yes, it costs money, but significantly less than locking down for a week or two.

It felt a bit like "let's not invest in a backup system yet, we don't know whether we'll need it".

The argument may be wrong, but the conclusion is true: literacy rates are actually lower in countries with ideographic languages — likely because there are more properties of words in ideographic languages that need to be memorized "literally", and fewer properties that can be intuited, or easily "sketched" verbally in order to ask the real spelling/pronunciation/etc.

One study I recall (on my phone now, will cite later) reported that fewer 20-year-olds have "fluent" levels of reading comprehension for what they read in the [ideographic] newspaper in Japan or China, than in neighbouring countries with alphabetic languages derived from those same historical ideographic roots (Korea, Vietnam, Thailand.)

Another study (will cite later) reported that the reading-comprehension rate for ideograph-heavy works in Japan is also decreasing over time, as more people spend their time reading mostly explicit "[ideograph-]light" novels, rather than literature that would actually teach them kanji. (Which is a vicious cycle.)

Given that ideograph radicals are kind of analogous to alphabetic morphemes, this is kind of surprising. I think it's mostly because it's self-evident how to pronounce alphabetic morphemes if you know the pronunciation rules of the language, while

1. the names for ideographic radicals need to be memorized, more like the names of alphabetic letters (but with there usually being far more radicals in common use per ideographic language, than there are letters in an average alphabet.) And

2. ideograms aren't usually linear, but rather structured (things above/below/beside things, things inside things, things bonded to other things and reduced in the process, etc); and there's no universal cultural fluency for speakers of these languages in an ordering system for spelling out these radicals. You usually have to see a character written before you can truly know how to "spell out" its radicals.

Because of these two problems, you can't just look at an ideograph you don't know, and casually, conversationally spell it out to someone else, in order to ask how it's pronounced / whether you're pronouncing it correctly. Unless, that is, you both know the names of all the involved radicals, and have a good geometric guess for the ordering. In practice, most people don't try to ask this question verbally, but either need to show someone the character written; or need to use a dictionary.

I've noticed that this actually results in distinct approaches to how people treat "literature with words they don't know", between people whose first language is an alphabetic one vs. people whose first language is an alphabetic one. Given an alphabetic-language work with word they don't know, alphabetic-native people seem to be much more confident in just jumping in and looking words up as they go; while ideographic-native people seem to be more reticent. I believe they're subconsciously expecting new [alphabetic] words to be a much larger barrier for them than they actually would be, as they're used to thinking in terms of the barrier that novel ideographs impose.

Zillow lists homes for sale by owner. Last time we bought a house, we almost exclusively used Zillow to search for them because all the Realtor-branded MLS access systems sucked. In the end, the house we bought was found on Zillow.

Our real estate agent worked pretty hard for us buying and selling and we were glad to have him. When we found our new house, it was on Zillow for only 8 minutes and he got us in first during a peak market. It was his tip that "sellers will often stick with the first buyer who offers selling price instead of waiting for better offers" that allowed us to beat everyone else, even though our sellers had actually gotten a higher offer because it made us give them an offer immediately after our first tour. This was after we had basically lost out on three other sales for houses that we wanted (not his fault - we weren't first or highest on those).

This thread makes a convincing case for why the original USB connector couldn’t be reversible, but there’s a parallel question I’ve never seen addressed: Why couldn’t it have been asymmetrical?

The physical design of FireWire was one of its many advantages, in that you could instantly tell, visually and by touch, which side was up by the beveled corners on one side of the plug. I’m guessing the answer here was again cost, that manufacturing an interconnect with two 90-degree angles and four 45-degree angles was more expensive than one with four 90-degree angles, but I’ve never seen any confirmation of this.

Comparing Kitemaker to Clubhouse write may may get a bit further. I found Kitemaker after I realized the tight relationship between epics and documentation, and was stunned at how difficult it was to find a PM tool focused on fusing them. Clubhouse write seemed to be headed that direction, but was in beta forever and details were sparse. I began researching on my own to see if it would be worth building myself, stumbled upon Kitemaker (impressive) and ultimately used Notion instead (which is so-so for the purpose).

A bit tangential, but I was surprised at how similar Kitemakers offering _sounded_ to Linear (https://linear.app/).

No that's probably not the problem, if this (plausible) thread is accurate: https://twitter.com/DaveKeating/status/1372897635577761803

Edit: I'm not sure I buy the proposed argument that in a way, "the EU believed in the free market and fair play too much, and the US and UK betrayed those noble ideals", but I do believe the EU failed to recognize and/or counter the state of play, that the US and UK had legislated production partners and output to stay within national borders.

I used to think NFTs include the copyright for the underlying work ... but I've just been educated and it seems you don't even own the copyright of the underlying work. That stays with the artist.

All you literally have is a few bits on a blockchain that say you paid so and so money to say you own the work on the blockchain. That's it.

And not every blockchain mind you. Just that specific blockchain. On another blockchain someone else can own the work.

NFTs are ridiculous if they don't act as a registry of actual ownership. I don't know why people think otherwise.
Funny that nightly tape backups, a very old and established technology, would pretty much fix the problem.
You can search for 3D scan in your app store for current products and then try it.
How about if somebody sells NFTs and then becomes famous? Maybe they become famous for NFT art, maybe not.

Chances are most will expire worthless, but a select few may be early works from people who go down in history.
> It drives me crazy how Google never fails to remove the most unique and yet most important words of my search term. It basically does this 99% of the time now.

Did they create/curate the info? If so, then yes, just like anyone else is able to use IP laws.

> They use that IP law to grant themselves information asymmetry to gain 6% commissions whereas many countries have commissions half that.

No, they use supply and demand for their services to collect 6% commission. And it’s very negotiable, also showing that the amount a real estate agent charges is due to supply and demand.

I’m only familiar with the way real estate agents work in the US, so I can’t comment on how it works in other countries. But all I can say is, in my experience, the sales history data is all available on the government website, and otherwise, you’re paying for the marketing and whatnot. If you don’t like the price, then negotiate lower, and if that fails, don’t pay it and do the work yourself.

well you can turn the header off pretty easily and you won't see many sites are breaking (alexa top 100), of course some wierd sites think it's important to use it, but because of the madness of referer there are so many things that will leak your privacy extremly, it came to the point that it's necessary to have extensions to remove the header or at least inject noreferer into a tags.
Well said. I'd also add that frugality does not work very well when you have kids. You would want to buy time if you don't want to spend all your time with kids. That means baby sitters, nannies, coaches, and classes for extracurricular activities. Besides, not every parent is good at coaching or tutoring their kids. Given the education quality of the US, you'd have to pay for additional education unless you're the lucky few who have self-driven kids. And what if your kids get sick? The cost just adds up.

This is incredibly true. And the thing is, sometimes you don't even need selective editing, so much as framing what the footage one is about to see before someone sees it.

The aftermath of the 2020 U.S. presidential election is replete with examples of footage from election centers and dueling narratives emerging from people interpreting what the staffers were doing. I remember back at the 2004 presidential debates, people were accusing Bush of having a listening device strapped to his back based on a few dark pixels that looked like a bump. And 9/11 footage must have been poured over for millions of man hours now, with conspiracists seeing what they want to see.

I'm not sure if even "concrete" evidence like video proof is worth anything anymore. People will choose to believe what they want to. Evidence isn't the problem. Consensus is. Like the crisis of reproducibility in science, the communal framework for evaluating news (usually for political or other tribal ends) is broken. It doesn't matter how real evidence is if people aren't going to reject anything that conflicts their story, prima facie.

Deep fake footage is bad, but as you say, there are simpler techniques like selective editing, that have always existed. And you can provide the most pure and uncut evidence, but if there's no mutually agreed-upon protocol among observers, they will walk away with their own interpretation.
Crime is still business, so they operate like one. Minus the risk of being arrested, there's really no difference between a criminal company and a legitimate one.
somewhere in between there they messed up the + operator that used to mean "make sure this term is included"

Thanks for the response! Take my opinion with a grain of salt, I'm quite curmudgeonly when it comes to marketing speak. I just know that, if I were looking for a product like yours, I would move on with my search as soon as I encountered more vacuous language than descriptive language; then would probably come back to it when I encountered the same problem with every other product page.
In common language it doesn't. Many people who choose to work don't need the job to survive. I know ridiculously wealthy people who just keep working the usual way. No one says those people are retired.

While retirement is cool, I think life goes better without thinking too much about it. Try to work at a job that doesn't suck ass, try to have hobbies and free time, focus on family etc, invest your savings, don't buy stupid stuff. The level of financial freedom will increase in your life just automatically if you live rationally.
It is crowded but most aren't actually different in the way people need (ex: Asana). I think its still worthwhile to compare to Jira, because for many teams JIRA is either all they know or the de facto standard. Clubhouse is a better JIRA for many teams (simplified, good at multi-team project management) but Kitemaker is (IMHO) targeting more of a simplified JIRA + Confluence, which is (again, IMHO) ripe for exploration.
I use Zoneminder currently with ~$50 PoE cameras (I have an assortment based on what was on sale but most are 4K with audio). I block the MAC addresses of the cameras so they have no internet access at all. You could accomplish this also by putting them on their on VLAN that doesn't have access but I didn't have a good way to do that when I first set it up. My plan is to switch to a Reolink NVR in the near future so that my camera setup can be all-in-one instead of running in docker on my NAS.

Zoneminder can be a bit a of bear to deal with but I'll be forever grateful to it for helping me get my foot in the door seeing how I would not have bought a Reolink NVR without first proving how valuable a security camera system would be.

As with all my "Smart Home" stuff I want it all to run locally and I abhor smart wifi devices (Z-wave and Zigbee only). Zoneminder is ideal for this setup and the zmninja [1] desktop/mobile app is pretty decent as well. I run the desktop app 24/7 on a monitor above my main monitor and it's so nice to just glace up to see if there is a package, someone at the door, etc. I was never able to get ZM's detection working reliably enough (too many false positives) so I just record 24/7 and go back and check footage if needed (Older than 30 days or if the disk is low triggers a cleanup/delete).

I don't think your points really contradict your first statement. First, people tend to drop their standards on the type of work they're willing to do and pay they'll accept when they're desperate. In 2008 a lot of people needed a job. Any job was better than no job. I'm not surprised that jobs that would normally be unpopular had lines of people applying at that time.

Your second point about farmers trying to increase legal immigration in 2010 clearly indicates most Americans won't regularly do this work for the wages being offered. Why else would farmers be looking to hire immigrant workers just 2 years after locals were lining up to get these jobs?

While it would be nice if there was a way to get enough immigrants working legally to fill those jobs that doesn't seem to have happened. Short of another large economic downturn I don't see Americans working those jobs either. That leaves people who are working in the US illegally to fill the gap.
