Observing sensations, thoughts and even the observer is a common practice in mindfulness meditation. I've only started doing short daily meditations and find it very difficult to do this successfully, and get easily distracted. I found that I'm only able to focus on a single thought at a time, and if that's a distracting one, then I lose the observation part of it.

Any tips from experienced meditators?
Housing in the US can be seen as a luxury good as well. I really don't like that
I'm really hoping they rename the ship, Ever Grounded.
This is a misrepresentation.

There are no 'rogue entities' with nukes outside of N. Korea unless you consider Pakistan to be 'rogue', or, their benefactors, Saudi Arabia who undoubtedly have access to the tech the moment they need it to be ... but they are not 'rogue', or rather, the action would be widely condemned but a different story altogether.

Iran, would be a 'rogue nation' trying to get nukes, which they have signalled they are trying to do.

A wayward state or quasi-independent province in the Caucuses, the M/E or Africa would be that as well. Or of course some legit terrorist group.

And it would have nothing really to do with non-proliferation obviously.

If the US was trying to thwart Iran from getting nuclear weapons through some back door, then it frankly would be in Google's best interests to help.

The notion that large corporate entities can exist in a geopolitical context and yet somehow ignore it at the same time is nonsensical. Once you are 'Google Scale' your piece is on the table and you have to play.

Edit: to put another way - Google's very existence is protected and enabled by the US Economic and Geopolitical situation in a tangible way. It's not abstract at that level, like it would be for a small company.

Remember how we thought of US Army in Iraq as 'Exxon's Army'?

Well it's 'Google's Army' now ...
You're exactly correct about war games. Warfare is more than just moving units around a battlefield. It involves psyops, cyber, logistics, and other factors that are way too complex for contemporary AI to consider.

I don't understand the economics here in terms of a rational market.

If housing is so inflated in value right now, wouldn't investors be pouring tons of capital into construction?

If the cost to build is fixed but the sell price is continually increasing, then isn't that the greatest profit making opportunity you could ask for?

So then why isn't the supply side of the market catching up with the increases?
People talk about the lump of labor fallacy but never the lump of real estate fallacy. It is as though land were a finite resource. I know that’s a deeply unpopular opinion.

That is PAINFUL in Factorio for a reason. It forces you to automate it away as soon as humanly possible. Which is the point of the game.

> Across the largest 50 cities

Kind of important to note.

So what are the desirability ratings of those cities vs. alternate places to live over the same 20 years?

Is it that people want night life, a Whole Foods, 20 Starbucks, etc. all really close to wherever they live? Or is there some other driving factor, like living outside the city and buying a home and having a reliable car is something many wealthy citizens enjoy, but if you need to be close to services, even if your income hasn't gone up, you have to rent in a city?

And how much is rent outside of those cities?
Idaho in general is getting hit hard. Montana will be next once things like Starlink take off. The primary limitation to living out in the middle of nowhere has been commute to high paying jobs.

I’m going to disagree with all three points.

1. To think that the military does not know what they need shows a very narrow understanding of the people fighting a war. If you ask a pilot “What do you need to accomplish your mission”, they will tell you. They may not know how to necessarily do sensor fusion or “cyber” things or the math/physics involved, but the way they will describe the problem and what their solution would be will show that they are thinking outside the box. Now, I will be fair and say that there is probably a disconnect between the end user and Air Force Materiel Command and it’s therefore up to the program management office to solicit feedback and requirements from the expert users.

2. The military follows the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. There may be instances where contracting officers prefer and write requests for proposal that target specific contractors, but that should be an edge case and not the standard. I’d argue the real challenge is the scale of federal acquisitions and consolidation of industry players. In order to meet certain contractual obligations, you have to be large enough, which brings us to...

3. Security clearances take a long time to adjudicate, but it does not follow that that causes the inability to rapidly develop products. Going back to size, the problem is DOTMLPF - you cannot just design and purchase one thing, you need to build the entire logistics support chain for the next XX years. Maybe you squeeze a JUONS out that gets a capability “rapidly” developed but there’s still the expectation that you re-evaluate and create that long supply chain at a certain point.

That's one reason why search and targeting radars are not the same thing. Missiles are fired (and aircraft are sent) in the general area of the detected aircraft, where they'll pick up the enemy aircraft on X-band more easily.

And don't forget the networking. It won't just be the one targeting radar; networked missile groups have existed for decades.

This idea that Russia and China can't "lock on" assumes that the Russians and Chinese are idiots. They've been busy trying to improve the odds of a stealth kill ever since the F-117A went public, and probably before. LO helps, but it's not magic.

How much of that is attributable to increased/tightened zoning regulations? Cheap & reasonable options are simply illegal in many cases.

> change in control of the LLC is considered a reassessment event so a single LLC would not be enough

Then don’t change control. For sake of argument, consider putting an entire town’s real estate into an LLC. Ownership is allotted with membership units which correspond to plots. You could have all the same local laws apply to the units instead of to the properties. The managing member could be a town-owned LLC or something; control would never change.

I agree, FWIW. The case when a property is uninhabitable because it's being rebuilt seems fair. Getting a discount just for leaving something empty (or using it once a month) does seem regressive.

Fortunately(?), councils are basically all skirting bankruptcy, as a result of having their central grants slashed. So these discretionary discounts are becoming rare in actual practice.
I believe a lot of the "combined" characters are (basically) from importing old codepages directly into Unicode, and they did that so it would be a simple formula to convert from the various codepages in use.

It doesn’t have to be. I live in a house in the Netherlands that was built in 1675, and this isn’t terribly unusual. It’s not a special old house or anything, just an old one in an old city center.

Comparing that scenario to serfdom is amusing. If the property is sold, you could say that the people "come with", though they needn't get permission from their Lord to travel or move (barring any legal contracts like leases).

Ask HN: What's Going on with Spotify and JRE?
I've been a Spotify user for quite a while and, in fact, have long considered their UI to be superior to Apple Music.

I usually listen to podcasts with Overcast but occasionally I'll listen to some on Spotify and haven't had any problems.

But with the Joe Rogan Experience... it's bad. I mean, there is no other way to describe it other than that it is a terrible experience. Playing will stop for no reason. Once I get it started again after many clicks it'll just randomly reset back to the beginning.

I would think, given how much it was reported that Spotify paid Joe Rogan, that they would have put every effort into making the transition as smooth as possible but, instead, it's like the experience of listening to that one podcast is far, far worse than any other podcasts on Spotify.

This all leads me to believe there is something at a fundamentally technical level that is giving Spotify's engineers fits over how to make that one podcast work properly. Or am I being over-generous and optimistic?
It's easy to be popular when the only platform you run on is popular and mandates that this be the only browser that can run on it. Oh, sure, you can get something called Firefox on iOS. But it's really just "crippled Safari", as 3rd party browser apps must use the system web view, which does not have feature parity with Safari.
Remember when San Francisco (and the Bay Area in general) had a bunch of bands and artists? There’s a couple, but not anything like it was 20 years ago. It makes me sad. There’s more market rate housing, and a little bit of very low income housing, but for those not in tech, it’s tough. If you make six figures, you can find a place to live in the Bay. It may be small or run down, but if you make the median personal income, $52k, you’re pretty screwed without spending at least half your take home pay on rent.

This is not true. An AS/HFA/Autistic person wouldn't survive very long at Netflix, because they biologically struggle with the goal-setting/performance review game. These individuals may have talents that are biologically unavailable to neurotypical people.

The Netflix approach selects for a very specific type of individual: an extreme degree of rote knowledge and the ability to effortlessly apply that knowledge. There are people who acquire this knowledge and talent via unconventional means, and Netflix is able to grab those people up.
Land absolutely would stay a good investment. Land that can house more people, in a city where more people need housing than used to, isn't less valuable than land that can house fewer people. Development's goal is to increase property value, that's the whole point of it. Nobody would spend money to develop if they were going to lose money on it. That's going to continue as long as population rises. When talking about land-owners (which zoning discussions, especially around single-family zoning, often means), the land value isn't what's protected by zoning. Development may reduce the desire of a new owner to live in a single family home next to an apartment building, but now you have another developer willing to buy your land to build their own multi-unit building, and that's gonna be some good money.

The cities that have had less crushing affordability problems are the ones that have been able to continue expanding outward - the outskirts land that used to be empty now has housing (and got more valuable as a result of this development) and the inner areas (slowly) has been getting denser, especially as old industrial property gets redeveloped and such. But many of those cities have just as much zoning and restrictions around density as NY or SF (usually more!). The difference is that they were able to go outward to better keep up with demand increases. I don't think any US city has been able to address rapidly rising demand through upzoning and density alone - redevelopment of existing residential will always be much harder and slower than of empty perimeter land. Density, on the other hand, has seemed to ultimately cause demand increases in NYC and SF greater than the supply increases it has provided.

If population growth stops, though... all this changes. Or even if just the net migration to various cities shifts around!

Hi all!

When trying to get NixOS to work on my Raspberry Pi, I couldn't find a lot of resources on how to do it.

I wrote this little blog post to have a small reference for other people like me.

Please let me know if I can optimize anything or if there are mistakes found in it.
In Texas, as I understand it, the deed is the definitive document and need not be recorded with the county. However, recording it is required by lenders and generally a good idea---in case of multiple deeds showing up, the recorded one would take precedence. One exception is that, if you wanted to leave your property to someone on your death without it going through the probate process, you could execute a deed and not register it. When you die, the receiver registers the deed and everyone is happy.
I get about twice the crashes on chrome than safari. The only reason I'm using chrome is for development purposes. Safari is bad with extensions though.

It's not zoning.

The same issue persists irrespective of supposed NIMBYISM.

The primary, most obvious driver is historically low interest rates. How much we can attribute to that is hard to say but it's #1 for sure.

During the 2008 crises, the Fed took toxic housing loans off their books, which 'saved the banks' but it also 'saved millions' from foreclosure i.e. creating a moral dilemma there as well and signalling the Fed won't let home prices crash.
(I don't own a gun, not have intention of getting one myself)

I get that for big cities with large police presence, but the US is very wide and has countless suburbs and small towns with very little law enforcement present. Please look up YouTube, you'll find many single moms and small families whose lives were saved because of guns, where it took law enforcement forever to reach them.

I don't think seeing a 'shrink' would make much difference except for those with very obvious conditions than the gun shop would refuse selling to them anyway. Most psychiatrists are nothing like the movies portray them to be, and they can't deduce everything about you from a couple hours of talking unless you're in a real dire state of mind. Hell, most of the good ones even refuse to take new patients or have 6 months long waiting list, and only the new inexperienced ones are easy to get hold of. Source: Tried to find a psychiatrist myself couple years ago for depression.
It would be a valid opinion if we actually used the land but in most places you barely have medium density housing. We have a room shortage not a land shortage.
This is true at a most fundamental level, but the things which make land valuable can absolutely change over time, in terms of its presence-in or proximity-to various other things (cities, amenities, natural resources), or ways that it is maintained or let go over time (soil erosion, pollution).

And of course, there are a lots of factors which are totally outside of the individual's control— a falling aquifer could make digging a usable well prohibitive, for example, or maybe your land is on the coast of Florida and will be underwater at high tide in another few decades.
Agreed. Computers have been massively important to flying for decades. It's already basically impossible to fly a modern warbird without computer assistance. Here's a Hacker News-level amount of nuance for that statement: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/8049/are-fighte...
I agree with your comment if you remove the words "but then" and "other". It's a good idea for orchestration software to detect/avoid unhealthy nodes and enforce the resource limits it uses for bin-packing. It's also a good idea for monitoring systems (by which I mean ones which do alerting and visualization) to track memory usage and pressure stalls. [1] I wouldn't say swap is a substitute for these in any way. A swapping machine is an unhealthy machine.

There’s not a single county in the US where a full time minimum wage worker can “afford” an apartment (e.g. paying less than a pre-determined amount of income for rent). Affordability is worse in big cities, but it’s a problem that also plagues suburban and rural counties.
