It's particularly bad because it's a pattern that people need to know about. Being trapped politically somewhere like that happened to both Snowden and Assange.
Land tax is a must but I have an even funnier idea. Tax corporations per employee and adjust the amount to the housing shortage. Make the tax truly terrifying if there is a big shortage.

If you really must run your shop in that ultra expensive location you just pay for it. If you cant afford it you simply do not have what it takes, the area is not for you and you should leave. Make room for a business that belongs OR turn the building into housing.

You would still have home owners who want to continue to ride the housing ponzi but they would be directly opposed by corporations.

The revenue should be reserved for subsidies on constructive construction. Free money for anyone who [partially] solves the problem.
I think it's very rude to share any URLs with tracking parameters, so I do that for all links. Added bonus is that it makes the links much more readable like the other commenter said.

Some of the most annoying ones are Amazon links. The product base URL is actually very compact, they just add an amazing list of tracking params that is pretty unwieldy to truncate on mobile.
There are a couple reasons why your criteria would get almost entirely false positives.

First: Most Tesla owners disengage autopilot by tapping the brakes or turning the wheel. This is typically more well-known and more convenient than the official way to disengage autopilot (push right stalk up, which if you do twice can shift to neutral).

Second: Tesla autopilot drives like someone taking a driving test. It accelerates slowly, signals well before changing lanes, makes sure there is plenty of room in front, etc. In my experience, the vast majority of interventions are to drive more aggressively, not to avoid a collision. I think maybe twice I've disengaged to prevent a collision. In those cases it was to avoid debris in the road, not another vehicle. (The debris was unlikely to damage the car, but better safe than sorry.)
Since this is a post about both a Lego thing and an Apple thing (both of which make products I’m fond of), is this like when Apple insists on omitting articles (“iPod” vs “an iPod” etc) when referencing their products? I’ve always understood Lego to be the brand but also the common reference to Lego bricks, never even knew there was a distinction until today. Like another person downthread, I’ve only ever heard “Legos” used for the plural.
I guess if you're a developer and you just picked up some laptop pre-loaded with Ubuntu and you've never used the command line in your life, it would be better for you to download some file with metadata for apt to consume, and a default file association that gives you a GUI prompt asking you if you want to add the repository. It is kinda lame that Ubuntu doesn't have that. (openSUSE does have GUI facilities for adding repositories, although it's been a long time since I've used them. I wonder if Fedora has something like that, too.)

If you're using Docker to develop applications for Linux servers, the bash builtin `echo` and `tee` are probably among the absolute minimum basics of the command line you ought to learn ASAP. And if you're gonna run Ubuntu at all, the format and use of `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*` is part of your absolute minimum curriculum, too. I don't think the confusion of folks who are unwilling to do those things is a huge problem in this specific use case.

But you are right in general: it's unusual among desktop operating systems that in the Linux world, users are expected to know about how the configuration for the system is stored. And while I don't think that's necessarily a problem, it would be better if for extremely common use cases (like adding an external software source), users could always use tools (including command-line tools!) that didn't confront them with implementation details such as configuration file paths or lines to be appended to them and instead summarized what was to be done in human terms and asked them if they wanted to do it.

The Debian-based tooling is especially weak here, and especially at the moment, since `apt-key` has been deprecated for security reasons but there's no convenient tooling to replace it at the moment. :-\

You're contradicting yourself here, as you don't want to be manipulated but are already convinced that this is part of anti-China propaganda.

Also, innocent until proven guilty should only apply to regular people, not state actors. Many historical events are only declassified after 50, 60 years, or never at all. Believe a story or not is your judgement, but asking for proofs are either naive, or just looking for excuses.
It's not always perfecrly balanced though. The motor needs to handle the case where loads of people are going up but nobody is going down.

PostScript is an amazing programming language, and this language reference manual is one of the greatest technical documentations I have ever seen, I highly recommend it!

One of the few mistakes I found is on page 700, where the snippet (apparently accidentally copied from the documentation of fill on page 589):

should be replaced by:

Agreed. For a customer centric company, it's definitely true (although some companies are not like that, and sometimes thrive anyway).
You say “fund their lifestyle” like people’s houses appreciating is paying for their summer home or m5 when in reality it’s funding their ability to move with work and not get their equity eaten by inflation.

People need their houses to not deprecate and to roughly increase by value of the work put into the house during their time lived there.

Show HN: Find out when you'll be financially independent without a spreadsheet
Perfect for the rolling-eyes-bot I'm about to release on the chain
The US had a history of spending capex on flashy high rise housing. Then failing to spend the opex necessary to maintain what they built.

Large buildings are harder to maintain and require more specialized labor.

Means testing and segregation also impacted public housing in the US. (Better not make too much money or you'll have to leave!)

There are several instances of successful public housing efforts in the US and Europe, typically more low rise or mid rise distributed properties.
Hey HN!

I made an app that allows you to create a financial plan without a spreadsheet.

You fill out a few basic details and assumptions, and it forecasts your net worth.

From there you can figure out when you’re financially independent, taking into account any expenses down the line (e.g. having kids, medical bills, etc.)

This came about after constantly finding bugs in my spreadsheet. It was almost impossible to explore scenarios (e.g. renting or buying, property or stocks) without breaking something. So I made a well-tested library and a simple web app to interact with it.

Some current limitations:

1. It assumes guaranteed year on year growth of investments. Ideally it’d be forecasting returns of risky assets using monte carlo simulations with
historical data

2. There’s basic tax calculations so far i.e. income tax, capital gains tax and tax deductions for depreciation on your property

If it's to avoid a collision then the autopilot would have crashed, and it should be deemed an autopilot accident.

As I said upthread, this reminded me of Apple’s preference to refer to its products without an article (it’s “iPod”, not “the iPod”). I like Apple products, but I don’t like anthropomorphizing their brands. I sincerely don’t think the actual humans making these products we like care about people using the language constructs they’re familiar with. And I sincerely don’t think branding should have so much power as to invent new language constructs and expect people to adopt them or be considered ignorant.

I think "younger" here is meant more as "not old." 16 year olds are less safe drivers, yes, but on account of the price they're not going to be a big part of Tesla's demographic.

Since there's no affordable model, and they're a newfangled gadget with strange refueling infrastructure and a giant touchscreen for a console, Tesla owners probably skew toward middle aged. So they'll have fewer drivers in the less safe age ranges at both ends of the spectrum.

Phoenix is pretty stable and fast. I'd assume it's pretty popular here.

I'd recommend .net core because i have the most experience with it ( but it moves fast since .net framework). But it's less popular here ( i think)

A long time ago, it was PHO and that's still a valid solution.

There are multiple answers to this and some people will prefer one over the other. It mostly has to do what they are used to and heard of.

Well 50 years on we still haven't seen any of these "sufficiently smart compilers", at best they can outsmart C compilers in a few cases with things like generics, so the idea that higher level languages would be faster has been wrong for at least 5 decades. At least you can forgive them for thinking they would 50 years ago, but now it's just ignoring 50 years of reality.

I think there's more truth to the GP's comment than you realize.
So I read the article on the ferret experiment "Memory trace and timing mechanism localized to cerebellar Purkinje cells" , and very simplified:

theres this big neuron called a Purkinje cell with a large dendritic tree (input side).

Purkinje cells have parallel fibers (axons) and climbing fibers (CF also axons) that synapse with their dendritic tree.

To make a long story short one type carries a warning signal which I will call the Start signal, and the other carries unconditional reflex signal (induced such that it elicits a blink) which I will call the Stop signal.

The training involves a warning start stimulus, then a fixed pause, and then the annoying stop stimulus. After training, it is observed that the neuron statistically responds after a pause commensurate with the trained pause.

Okay perhaps a single neuron programmable variable delay is not easy to explain with a conventional synaptically weighted neuron. (at this point I remark to myself that a conventional synaptic weighted neuron might still do that in theory if the input axon is long and windy to use it as a delay line memory, but then it would need to have lots of synapses with the same Purkinje cell, so I reject this brainfart as not biologically plausible)

Then training was resumed with a second interval, and after this secondary training the following was observed: after receiving a start signal, the purkinje cell statistically responds with 2 (!) responses corresponding to the trained pauses! To them this is the nail in the coffin for the combinational synaptic weighted neuron model. But This just makes me remember my original tap filter layout: the same single input axon could function as a delay line with multiple synaptic taps activated at different times.

So I look up the terms parallel fiber and climbing fiber... and guess what: unless the brain is still gestating or suffered local damage each Purkinje cell has exactly 1 climbing fiber axon associated with it. And this climbing fiber is long and windy and makes loads of synaptic connections. So the initial remaining explanation delay line tap filter brainfart (which I viewed as myself clasping at straws to save the synaptically weighted neuron model), turns out to be nearly exactly the layout of climbing fiber on purkinje cell. you can view this as a programmable tap filter, or as an impulse response convolver.

So instead of deposing the synaptically weighted neuron perspective, I view this as strengthening the usual interpretation! Evolution forced synaptically weighted neuron model to contort itself into an awkward tapped delay line filter!

In many organisations, a break in a system holding production data is serious even if it isn't a serious break, so being able to roll back or otherwise undo would not cut it.

Much better would be to give them a replica to work on and a change confirmation process that allows signed-off changes to be pushed into production.
This is an introduction of a discussion about removal of ownership of means of production, basically.

This is a step towards socialism.

More DIY than this but there is USB-IP[1]. It needs two PCs but given the small size & low power of an rpi0 that is no longer so problematic. Anecdotally, USB-IP seems to not work a bunch of times.

I was hoping MediaTek was serious about their "CrossMount"[2] idea (2015) to allow devices to work across machines, but that never seemed to go anywhere/materialize/become real.

802.11ad / WiGig (in the 60GHz band) had/has a Wireless Bus Extension (WBE) for PCIe and Wireless Serial Extension (WSE) for USB, back in 2011[3]. Wigig is still sort of a product, 10 years latter, occasionally. I'd really really really love for it to have become a little more available.

It's such a pity how USB over USB ports remains the only way to connect things to computers. Especially sad that wireless connectivity is so absent.
