Four years is nothing on a multi-generational investment horizon.

Any real-estate pro forma will include a vacancy rate.

If a person owns ten storefronts on a block, discounting one lease sets a lower rate for the nine other leases.

If a business can't afford the lease, that is a problem with its cashflow and/or access to capital relative to its aspirations. Often the landlord can simply take depreciation and meet its IRR targets. Particularly if the landlord is unleveraged. The building and land aren't going anywhere. That's the nature of real property as an asset class.
No, because a Ponzi scheme is one in which early investors are fraudulently paid "returns" out of the contribution of later investors. This is just speculation or a bubble (which I guess you could call "open Ponzi scheme", but that's a self contradicting term.)

You mention that as if it’s a bad thing? Wiping out bad investments is one of the major tenets of free market approaches. It’s the negative feedback loop for bad investments.

If something is unsustainable, it should go out of business and the investors should take a loss.

I invite you to mitigate your arrogance, your argument involves hijacking the narrative and waving a paper around. You don't make any other effort. By the way, it was not about sex trafficking as much as it was about legalizing prostitution. Yes, the former is a problem but it does not negate the current problems sex workers are facing. There are more prostitutes who ARE NOT trafficked, they are being abused and silenced by current legislation. Just because of a possible increase in sex trafficking we should not shut down a whole discourse in changing these people's situation. I invite you to swallow your pride and learn to be mindful about the conclusions you draw from these studies. They're not set into stone and are limited to their scope; the quality of the data and a possible hidden intent is also not automatically removed from consideration. Not at all am I saying studies are not valuable but they should not be taken as complete truth, they're just a view from a particular angle.

If you want to read about benefits of legalizing prostitution you're free to read it yourself, I'm not going to bother to extract excerpts for you. I've read some of your comments and you do come off as an intelligent fella but a bit on the arrogant side. Without any expectation I'm telling it does take some points off and unchecked may become a largerissue down the line. Enjoy your weekend

I have said in the past, only half in jest, that if I were guilty of a crime, I would want a jury trial, but if I were innocent, I would want to be tried by a judge, alone.
Well, there are plenty of companies operating in for example Stockholm, Oslo and Helsinki. Just like regular bicycles thre are more riders in the summer than in thr winter.
> Yeah so “defund the police!” Should actually be “fund better police training!”

Most people saying the former would support it being accompanied by the latter, however, they will note that that the past several decades have involved several police reform movements that have driven additional net funding to police at the expense of other local services, contributing to the expansion of police roles. “Defund the police” is about driving down the proportion of local funding consumed by paramilitary law enforcement and, along with it, the scope of responsibility. Increasing the share of those remaining resoueces devoted to training, and even moreso the quality of that training in respect to the remaining role of the paramilitary law enforcement services, is not something “defund" activists oppose, just something that they see as inadequate and not the first priority.
I know of a couple companies that used 1.0.0.0/8 as their internal VPN/WAN network. Myself and others explained why this could be problematic but we were ignored. It's actually mostly fine as long as you 1) never need to reach that network and 2) block traffic in that network from leaving your edge network and 3) triple-check that you have blocked that network from ever being announced from your routers. Downside being you have to double or triple NAT to reach anything in that network. Hamachi uses or used 25/8 ministry of defense as their VPN network.
Great, I am at least halfway on the right track since I am using neovim. I know Lua a bit, I actually didn’t realize it was integrated.
This is so close to being the right advice imo.

Personally I don't think it matters a ton if you have similar interests or careers or think about things in a similar way.

What matters most is that you want the same things out of life and out of a relationship. All of those similarities don't matter one bit if one person wants kids and the other doesn't. Or one person wants to own a lot of property and the other would like to spend every spare cent travelling.

Your partner does not have to be someone you share every hobby with or do everything together with, or agree on everything with.

They do have to be someone you can build a life with.
There is no money to be made on Android, that is not the model they’ll follow. Looking at the core platform where they actually do make money is more insightful.

Adobe has been much more involved on the iOS side. We have to go through their crap on their website on macOS. Same for Microsoft (though they do offer a version of Office on the Mac App Store and are generally better than other big software editors).

We all know how Facebook will behave. They’ll see an alternative App Store as a great way to slurp in as much personal data as possible, and will try to get exclusives to lure people in. Hopefully they’ll fail, but maybe not.

Then there are game companies and the plethora of launchers/stores/things. Every one of them being a PII leak waiting to happen.

Re-establishes the US as a country with humanitarian principles
It seems like a completely different argument to me. He's not arguing that committing crimes (or being involved in events that may be legally deemed crimes after the fact) means that someone _deserves_ to have force used on them. He's saying that it makes sense that police would be more likely to use force against people who are more frequently involved in said events.
I will always maintain that Los Angeles would benefit immensely by simply making one of the east-west surface roads stretching across the city a bike-and-bus only route! One of the first CicLAcia events was down the entire stretch of Venice Blvd from downtown to the beach. I have NEVER had so much fun biking as I did that day, and what a fun way to cross the city!

Indeed. I wonder if buying Bitcoin is the purest form of technological optimism too: faith that the human species is clever enough to find a use for it.
I work for an all-remote company so there has been literally no change in my work life as a result of the pandemic.

It's not for everyone! Even for me, if there was a mall in my area, which had coworking, an attached hackerspace and, let's say, a gym? I would pick up a minimal "grab a desk" coworking package.

Why not? Sometimes being around people is nice. Sometimes there's lawn work or construction happening near my house. I could make a thermos of coffee and a protein shake first thing in the morning, head to coworking, get some stuff done, hit the gym, have my choice of food court meals, and head home for a shower and a quiet afternoon at home. Or call it a soft half-day and spend the afternoon working on something with circuit boards, or just shooting the breeze with the hackers.

Gosh this is sounding really nice! Anyone finds a setup like this, let me know!

It is when we aren't running 1 year on pure renewables. Let's worry about events that happen every 3 to 5 years when we've got 1 year of renewable only figured out.

It will take years before this is potentially a problem and by that time we'll likely have gone through a few cold snaps.

Perhaps they're collecting unemployment insurance? My understanding is that submitting a number of job applications per week is required to collect but no follow-up with the potential employer beyond submitting the application is required.
Lol, I hope that's /s. Unless you're in India or somewhere where Twitter bows down to censorship.
Good idea in theory, but this part:

```To prevent theft of correspondence (in the event of a compromised account or server) the messaging service must store only messages that have not yet been delivered or returned as undeliverable.

Where archiving is required, the service should encrypt the traffic of designated accounts with a public key, and forward it to a write-only archive service.```

This is a silly default behavior. For enterprise I guess it makes sense, but I want to keep my mail local, not shuffle it off to Yet Another Service™. And I certainly want it to SAVE my mail and not delete it by default!

> The problem with all this data is that it doesn't inform us of who is actually committing crimes.

Arrest records do not provide this data either. If an area or activity is policed at a lower rate, it will look like fewer crimes are committed there.

Example: there have been public "420" festivals all over the country dating back to well before the recent legalizations. These were not accompanied by mass arrests, despite mass public lawbreaking. Drugs and underage drinking are endemic on college campuses. Somehow police are unable to arrest these lawbreakers. If you prefer finance, what percentage of financial fraud do you believe results in an arrest? Or consider the discretion allowed to police in deciding when to arrest someone for riding an unlicensed bicycle. There are many other examples of less-policed spaces.

Arrest records frequently tell you more about who is permitted to break laws than the number of crimes committed somewhere.

Large % of black Americans don't trust the criminal justice system and police, I expect this leads to more extrajudicial crime fighting carried out by the community that skews assault/murder rates.
Dan sublet my apartment a number of years ago, and it was a thrill to see the impact of his work over time. I'm very sad to hear this news.
Yes, by many, many, many orders of magnitude.
The problem is one of ease and feasibility. As deep fakes become easier and cheaper it makes them more easily done by anyone. Thus from say a US perspective someone could make a fake Trump video and rally together a violent mob to attempt a second takeover of the capitol or similar to another building/group of people but this time call for AR15s rather than flags poles and even random office items to beat the police. Imagine that sent to an underground group of qanon people who believe that Hillary is an illuminati pedophile who eats children under pizza shops and it's a secret message to them to commit some act of terrorism. Anyone with that little of a grip on reality could be tricked into just about anything with a deep fake.
As a fellow judoka, I’d agree.

It’s unfortunate because there are some aspects that could make judo a better groundfighting base than BJJ for this type of situation. When a judo match goes to the ground, the competitors must be clearly making progress toward a pin or submission or the referee stands them up. This favors more explosive movements (resolving a situation quickly) over a slow positional game from your back.

Of course, a skilled BJJ practitioner could also make quick work of an untrained opponent. But judo’s focus on quickly establishing a dominant position has some advantages.

Unfortunately this ruleset also enables competitors to “turtle up” in a defensive position on all fours. It’s hard for your opponent to quickly get a submission or a pin from this position, so the fight will quickly be reset by the referee. This has led to a lot of even competitive judoka having very weak ground game, as they can get by for the most part by assuming this position. Obviously that’s not going to be very effective in a real-world situation.

BJJ has its flaws for this sort of thing too. At least in the gyms I’ve trained in, there was very little focus on throwing. So once a fight is on the ground someone with a BJJ background will excel. But against a resisting opponent, they don’t have nearly the tools that a judoka has to bring things there.

In the end I think either one will give you a massive leg up, but it’s important to keep in mind why you’re training in the first place and understand the bad real-world habits that their respective rulesets can encourage when taken too seriously for the sake of competition.
From my perspective, the people on one side of the issue have made a demand of Apple: Give us ownership of our purchase. Apple declined. Now the people (presumably the same ones) are looking to the government to enforce their will.

This sounds precisely how government should work (assuming the people have a large enough majority). Maybe you don't think there's a large enough majority, but if that isn't your argument, what is?
Your reply is nonsensical / a non sequitur. Where I live the local utility is 100% renewable anyway.
He's not wrong...

I'd compare it more though to original gold and silver as currency in the middle ages and earlier....

It's a new technology just like original currency was centuries ago.

I think it has the potential to end poverty if tied to a single identity and account with built in taxes and a cap (prevent billionaires) and ads/rewards for internet content producers (built in patreon and crowd funding)...

But bitcoin and even ethereum aren't this...

Eth has more potential and possibilities, Cardano is even better, but I think anything that might help poverty and equality and post scarcity is 20 years off... Might not even technically use blockchain but some other mechanism for decentralization of currency.
I would have used a library that parsed the diff properly - or better yet one that applied the diff algorithm natively without going through a patch file format. E.g. something like this in Rust: https://github.com/utkarshkukreti/diff.rs (there are similar libraries for other languages).
This is one of my favorite books. Changed the way I looked at work and what I wanted to do with my life (always keeping a tangible output for my efforts). Along with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the pair are wonderful motorcycle books that teach a lot about life and very little about motorcycles.

I am a bit biased as someone who is fond of motorcycles, but they're both excellent without that, I think.

I think you're wrong about that? I went and checked Apple's press release [1] to work out which tracker it is, and the Chipolo website for the product [2] says "Chipolo ONE Spot works exclusively with the Apple Find My app". To me that implies they've got the same constraint.

I don't think the problem is that people don't know _who_ the problem is.
I'm asking about Bitcoin specifically. I believe crypto has real value for frictionless transactions, but I'm trying to understand my intuition that Bitcoin itself is a dead end.
That’s not true at all. Unless you expose the token or secrets in steps where you run untrusted code, the token and secrets are safe. This is explicitly designed for untrusted pull requests on public repos, solving the problem of, say, adding labels with the write token, or deploying a preview build to Netlify, while keeping the secrets safe from arbitrary code execution.
In 2016, Portland had 20 murders. In 2020 they had 55 murders (50 of which happened in June or later). This year they’re on track to break 100. Crime has gone up in the nation, but not by a factor of five. Portland’s problems are very much due to Portland’s policies.

Anecdotal counter-argument: police have been filmed planting evidence, assaulting suspects, on their own body cameras. It may be useful at catching them, but not necessarily a deterrent
> I wonder if buying Bitcoin is the purest form of technological optimism too: faith that the human species is clever enough to find a use for it.

It can be.

Can also be the purest form of cynicism, too: the enduring faith that there is a sufficient perennial reserve of tech optimism that the absence of broad practical application won’t prevent their from being a market of activists willing to purchase at higher and higher prices.

I suspect a lot is between those extremes, though.
A sad day. A legend has passed - legendary for his skills, for his generosity, and for his personality. He was a true renaissance man - hacker, writer, presenter, philantropist, piano-player, composer, and good guy.

PhD and Doctor degrees are sometimes just handled out to important inventors without bothering them to write and defend a thesis. At least it happened in Soviet Union with some researchers.

Polar Drift in the 1990s Explained by Terrestrial Water Storage Changes
I got -4 in downvotes. (-2 before my edit.) I don't know what's going on.

I understand when I call out Apple or Google for bad behavior that I can attract downvotes. Sometimes my posts are snarky, and I understand in that case too.

But I can point to instances where posts I made days ago were all downvoted in unison. Or completely informational threads where every single one of my comments gets a downvote or two.

Just a few days ago I got downvoted the second after I posted a comment. I spotted a typo immediately after submitting, clicked edit, and found myself downvoted before anyone could have possibly even read my comment (it was long). Maybe it was a mis-click -- who knows? But it was great feedback after having just submitted. And in concert with all the other recent downvotes, it's frustrating...

I've been sitting at the same "karma" value for months, and I don't think I'm being a bad member of the community.

It's more than likely noise, but it's got me rattled. It's not actionable feedback. With the pandemic and lack of social contact with other engineers, and this sort of judgement, I don't like it. I honestly don't think I'm being a nuisance.

(And here this comment is with downvotes and no comments. Sigh.)
Yes, but also: the update file doesn’t contain everything, but just what needs changing. So if these undocumented ones aren’t in the file, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Domain Shadowing: Leveraging CDNs for Robust Blocking-Resistant Communications
It is a splendid question.

A helpful concept might be "the velocity of money". The crucial insight is that all the money spent in an economy in one year can be expressed in two ways:

Take the available quantity of money M, and assume that each dollar is used in to buy something V times per year. Then M x V is the total amount spent in a year. That must equal the gross national income, in nominal terms (ie in $ terms), namely P x Q (price level times quantity of goods produced).

Thus: MV = PQ.

(As a side note, I personally would definitely not look to Foucault for economic insight.)
I think it also unfortunately fuels the darker speculations rather than quells them.
?

The system miscalculated some figures and assumed subpostmasters (delivery people) were stealing money. There was likely no theft occurring.
Stupid question: why don't more programming languages and/or compilers natively support the alternative to print debugging, which is (afaik) tracing? I guess some languages have it, but some don't, or they are onerous add-ons?
