"Parasitic landlords" - again and again, I have to point out that this kind of formulation is hate speech. It is also just a leftist conspiracy theory. And by the way, since I will be downvoted or banned anyway: this was the same angle the Nazis used against the Jews, who often happend to be rich because employment laws had pushed them into the banking business.

If you are unhappy with the rent a landlord is asking for, don't rent their house. It is really that simple. You could even buy your own house. And spare me the "many people can't afford it" line. You can move to a cheaper area, and pool money with your socialist friends. Germany also gives special help for poor people for buying houses.

> What does this mean?

This is one of those questions that can't be usefully answered without reference to the experience it's asking about. I can say from my own experience that what's being described isn't nonsense, but I can't put words around it that make sense as an explanation of how I know. Nor can anyone else, as far as I can tell, and I've seen many try.

The method described here seems fine as far as it goes, but it's kind of like learning to ride a bike, or maybe how to juggle. There are clear steps you can follow, but they only take you up to the point where a moment of novel insight is required to grasp the skill, and only that moment of novel insight will take you any further. Once you've had it, you never forget it, but there's a step in there that no one else can take you through - you have to find it for yourself or not at all.

It's not fair, but that's just how it is as far as I can tell. I wish I could do better, and I'm sorry that I can't.

Race and False Hate Crime Narratives
Reminder to take a step back and evaluate what you actually *need*. In my experience, software engineers tend to go overkill and buy the $300-400 prosumer routers that doesn't actually give them any tangible benefits over a normal $50-100 router.

I live in a shoebox NYC apartment so a potato can give me pretty good service. The potato I picked was the TP-Link Archer A7 for $52 (at the time).

My internet speed is ~280/~280 Mbps and I have successfully attained ~440 Mbps transfers speeds between my local file server (hard-wired) and my Macbook (over wifi). So the router is not a bottleneck to the internet from a wifi device.

At any given point in time, I have ~15 devices connected to my router and it handles it great. My router supports band steering (i.e. the router and wifi device somehow jointly decide whether the device should be on the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band) so I get both great coverage and the best possible speeds at any given location in my apartment.

I don't see the need (for myself, your needs will vary) to upgrade to a more expensive router.
> person who doesn't play video games at all will have a big disadvantage

My thoughts exactly while reading the article.
You're mixing up cause and effect. Due to NIMBYism and insufficient supply was housing able to become an "asset class" at all. Again the interest rate has been historically low in order to facilitate low rate mortgages to help people finance the increasingly costly housing market.

Of course since demand outpaced supply the added funding just caused even more inflation. (Sure, it caused some new entrants to the housing market, but since the place where people want to live is still constrained due to zoning and NIMBYism, the prices literally skyrocketed in those areas.)

Anyone who doesn't realize that the US government can rifle through Google's data on a whim (aka secret warrant via Patriot Act) is an idiot. That said they aren't direct intelligence agency like a lot of Chinese corporations. The US government doesn't have real time access to every bit of data that google has, but they are only one rubber stamp away from it. If you keep data on google encrypt it before you upload it.
I think it's totally doable if you can avoid cash completely, but for most of the costs of handling it, they hit when you take your first dollar. If you're already buying a cash register, counting, making change, stocking cash/change, making a trip to the bank, etc., the incremental costs of additional cash transactions are minimal. Even with steps up for things like time-locked safes or pickups by armored cars.

I agree with the sentiment, though. I guess realistically if it were my business, I'd need some significant evidence that I wouldn't be losing money by not accepting cash. That's the extraordinary claim, after all, with the vast majority of businesses doing it.

I think I've seen a few food trucks in my area that don't take cash.

Epistemological monism easily resolves the "socratic paradox" and it looks like that's how Socrates himself resolves it.

Who's our? Generally voters tend to be older, wealthier and landowners. The large pile of younger, less wealthy, more transient renters isn't represented well. I don't think the outcome means the system works.
>You can't possibly have 10 helis safely unloading cargo at once from a single ship

5 loading at a time, while the other 5 unloading on the ground - plenty of space as ship is 1300 feet long.

> doing that in the dark would simply not work

you flood the ship and the space around with light. Almost 30 years ago we did a night ship unload at an unprepared location - no issues.

>10 sorties/hour is also unrealistic

doing it with crane we did about 15+ - we weren't union operation though - we were paid for performance, not time :) and being young we were moving fast. With chopper not much different if weather is ok.
Wifi is the Achilles heel here. For example as far as I can google, that device has quite old Intel Wifi chipset which means 802.11AC only and no AX, firmware blobs, and worst of all apparently no AP mode support on 5GHz(!!!??). So not the best choice as a (wireless) router.

That being said, I don't know what Wifi chipset would be really good option right now.
I think there is still a mechanism on the steering wheel I read somewhere.

Spectre JavaScript PoCs

Is your work really higher priority or is it just your job?
That's a pretty good example of near negligible impact.
This is a really important point that more people need to think about. Sticker price and interest rate have an inverse relationship. But the price you paid is set in stone when you buy, though the interest rate can change over time.

For those who bought when rates were high and sticker prices were low, declining rates brought higher valuations. Additionally, the ability to refinance at lower rates meant that monthly payments were able to decrease along with total interest paid out on the loan.

For those who bought now (me!) at high sticker prices and low interest rates, the mechanics don’t work in our favor. Interest rates are only likely to go up, which doesn’t allow refinancing at a cheaper rate. At the same time, (inflation-adjusted) sticker prices will go down.

So while renting gotten ridiculously more expensive, home ownership also looks like an increasingly worse deal.
You may not grasp just how large the Common Crawl dataset is. It's been growing steadily at 200-300 TB per month for the last few years. I'm not certain how large the entire corpus is at this point, but it's almost certainly in the tens to low hundreds of petabytes. (This is significantly larger than the capacity of the entire Sia network, for example.)

Storing a dataset of this size and making it available online is not inexpensive. Amazon has generously donated their services to handle both of these tasks; it would be foolish to turn them down.
It's food. It's nutrition. Food isn't medicine. All food is healthy if you eat it in reasonable amounts and you make sure to get all the nutrients you need. If you're consuming an overabundance of carbohydrates then you're not eating healthy, but that's not a problem with the food, it's a problem with your behavior and food choices.

The example you've provided isn't simply a NULL pointer dereference. The attacker had control over memory mapping! NULL pointers can (uncommonly) be exploitable --- especially in the kernel, where the 0 address can be mapped --- but you can't generally exploit them simply by attempting to read from them. The most common general pattern I'm aware of is a write, through a NULL pointer, that includes an unbounded offset.

This isn't that.

Why I’m a sucker for pen and paper
I never knew why I unconsciously chose analog over digital in those cases, but it turns out there's a scientific explanation. When we write, we make our brains go through an abstraction process - separating something from a whole to analyze it by itself.- According to neurologist Audrey Van Der Meer, "It seems that keyboards and pens bring into play different underlying neurological processes. This may not be surprising since handwriting/drawing is a complex task that requires the integration of various skills."

I wrote a full article about it in the link above.
I used to do exactly this, had a very expensive Linksys router until I discovered that I get higher WiFi speeds with the ISP provided BT HomeHub2 and just switched the Linksys off. And the coverage is pretty great too for the total cost of zero.
I agree removing local control is a good idea. One way to think about it is that there's kind of a game-theory problem where we have a bunch of groups that have realized they can push a cost to someone else. This results in bad and often unfair outcomes, like less powerful (poorer) neighborhoods seeing a ton of gentrification. By moving the decision-making up a level, we can mediate between the groups to get a fairer outcome. There are not magic bullets, and people have to be engaged with politics to make this happen, but it is possible.

I think the other thing that's not talked about enough is that building more housing has benefits for incumbents. If more housing is built in my neighborhood, my neighborhood will support more local businesses and other amenities which I can enjoy. It also means there are more social connections available. Additionally, population growth drives economic growth, which ensures that their locality remains vibrant. The ideology where we view more humans as strictly a cost, and never a benefit drives a lot of problems in our society IMO.

That will be interesting to see with regards to legal implications. If they (in the website operator's name) block access to e.g. privacy info pages to a normal user "by accident", that could be a compliance issue.

I don't think it's mass blocking is the right approach in general. IPs, even residential, are relatively easy and relatively cheap. At some point you're blocking too many normal users. Captchas are a strong weapon, but they too have a significant cost by annoying the users. Cloudflare could theoretically do invisible-invisible captchas by never even running any code on the client, but that would be wholesale tracking and would probably not fly in the EU.
Regarding some cost free solutions mentioned here: how does the saying 'if it is free, then you are the product' hold up?
Samsung Develops 512GB DDR5 Module with HKMG DDR5 Chips
I don't know if you read the article. But there were people trying to intervene, namely his family, and people calling the police to check in on him. However, the people who were on his payroll made an effort to prevent this stuff, and Tony himself saw any kind of intervention as a kind of betrayal.

So generalizing this example and applying it to US culture is off base.
Unfortunately, this is one of the issues where it is impossible to provide something intuitive to everyone. Some people expect the mouse to work like in FPS games (eyes rotate in the mouse direction), some expect it to work like in Street View (the model rotates in the mouse direction). From our experience with other such 3D experiences, it seems like the FPS mode is now slightly more popular. Anyway, we support reversed mouse, but it is not the default: https://demo.shapespark.com/product-tour/#autoplay&flipmouse

As an owner of two homes, I've never lobbied anyone for better zoning laws for me, and actually I've done the opposite. Not everyone is cookie cutter.
You’re not considering that the market responds to these changes in affordability. If you can afford $3,186/mo today and the interest rate plummets, sticker prices will (over time, generally) track higher such that your monthly payment remains roughly the same.

It’s not a perfect relationship between the two—affordability does fluctuate, and the movements have a lot of latency between them—but on a societal scale the relationship holds.
I can totally respect the desire to step back and do your own thing at your own speed. Rock on, Annie - do what fills your bucket.

In Spain there's a variety of tomatoes called "tomates de colgar" [1], which means "tomatoes to be hanged". I've also heard the term "tomates de invierno" ("tomatoes for the winter"). The idea is that you hang them in a dark, dry place, and they'll last until the next summer. It's absolutely amazing picking up a tomato that was collected 6 months ago, and cutting it open to discover a fruit full of juices and flavor.

IMO the industrialization of agriculture and livestock was a huge leap forward in terms of yield and productivity, but a huge step backward in everything else (health, taste, variety, know-how, etc.)

I believe salt counts as dehydrating, although there are other forms of curing that don’t achieve the same water removal as salted meat.

Vinegar and alcohol technically are fermentation, although it’s true that in some cases primary fermentation happens separately and the food is stored in the result. Pickling is sort of a grey area.

One of the key advantages a large corporate model has over a small, local cooperative is the ability to effectively harness resources for shared infrastructure.

In the case of Uber and Lyft, that's all the technological infrastructure that goes into making the platforms work. This isn't a trivial amount of work that can be easily replicated by taxi companies or scrappy driver-owned coops, as attempts to do so have shown. As we're all familiar with, maintaining this infrastructure is also far from free or trivial.

Credit unions are an instructive example. Many offer membership in interoperative networks, but few are able to effectively compete with the customer-friendly offerings of big banks with centralized power structures. The ability to satisfy customers isn't some side-effect, it's a key goal. A localized organization that can't compete is worth nothing except as a cautionary tale.

With that in mind, I would say the organizational challenge of coops is thus: how to keep centralized infrastructure controlled by localized entities while being competitive with non-local entities.

This is not really the case with the rental market. Since rental supply is almost completely inelastic in the short run rental prices are wholly determined by demand. Increasing property tax has marginal effect on demand so it doesn't lead to an increase in price.
