Given there are no major non-partisan news sources anymore (at least in mainstream infotainment press, I'm not speaking of narrow specialized industry publications), and partisan ones are completely OK with suppressing or distorting information that does not fit the current partisan narrative, your request may just be impossible. Any political controversy that site A finds useful would be touted by site A's press, and suppressed or declared insane conspiracy theory by site B's press. And vice versa - if site A's press says something is wrong, and it'd be useful for site B if it were true, then site B would report about it. I wish there were some media outlets that you could use as a measuring stick and say "if they report on X then X must be real, and if they don't, then no way X is real" - but I think if those existed, they died out.
There are some pitfalls in comparing a particular stock (e.g. Enron) against a class of cash-like assets (e.g. Bitcoin).

If you want to make the comparison, perhaps you could lay out your logic?

So far, I haven't found a clear, direct, fundamental argument in your comments. I see some loosely related examples and some rhetorical questions. I am interested in your justification and terminology.
HOAs generally don't work like a republic. The board has some level of minimal discretionary power (eg: in our HOA the trustees can decide if and when to increase dues within certain boundaries), but the actual rules are another story, and require a super majority ownership to change (I'm sure "default" bylaws vary by region, but everywhere I've lived it's been about 2/3rd stake to change rules). The board voted in cannot change the rules, they always have to be voted on by everyone.

For example, in our HOA, everyone on the board wants to make the common area non-smoking, but they haven't been able to get people to vote on it at this time, therefor there's f* all the board can do about it, even if everyone agreed to it. It has to be voted on, on paper, signed and submitted to the land court.

Why do you care? It's their property, as long as they aren't putting election signs on your property or blasting noise that affects you, they have a right of free speech.
So how about moving it somewhere else? What's so particularly encyclopaedic about San Francisco that it has to be based there?
Actually part of the job the association does in the village I lived in was to own some of the houses and rent them out as registered social landlord (meaning you can rent to people using social security.) They also helped to maintain museums, cultural spaces, and green spaces, for everyone.

Destroying cultural property to install a satellite dish is not making 'the future more important than the past'.
Something I really like about integer incrementing IDs is that you can run ad-hoc "select * from table order by id desc limit 10" queries to see the most recently inserted rows.

I end up doing this a lot when I'm trying to figure out how my applications are currently being used.

Strictly incrementing UUIDs can offer the same benefit.
Frequently your lot borders another lot and both your and the other lots are quite small. So what you do in yours affect your neighbour in an objective way. E.g. you planting a tree right next to a fence may soon block sun to neighbour for a big part of the day.

On top of that, sometimes there's shared infrastructure. Access roads, water, waste, community space etc. You do own a small part of it.
I think the most important thing for people to realize about nicotine addiction (and all addiction) is that is does not work the same for everybody. Some people can smoke a few cigarettes every other weekend and not think about it otherwise, while others will never voluntarily go more than 45 minutes without a cigarette.
I getcha, but these days the ambit reach of "application" extends to Javascript executing client-side in an environment that's basically overrun with lions/tigers/bears, and I'll suggest that's particularly a consideration when the front-end is a SPA participating in a CQRS/event-sourced overall application architecture.
Townhomes with shared walls and ceilings are closer to condominiums.
The addiction likelihood of alcohol is much smaller. Nowhere near tobacco's ~100%
Can you tell me more? I'm familiar with the book but it didn't click with me, and I've had a strange feeling the past couple months I'm missing a really good mental model for where it comes from (tl;dr psychiatrist started talking about it after a year of hinting, but they thought I was a step ahead of where I actually am)

I pay around 15 bucks a month for my HOA. They take care of common land and also the 3 kids playgrounds in the neighborhood. They also have to approve any changes to the exterior of a house which can be annoying.

One interesting thing they do is that for things like new decks or replaced ones, you need to submit an application for approval which should include a building permit by the county. It gives prospective home buyers assurance that certain things were done correctly. Before a house is sold, the seller needs to provide an HOA disclosure which triggers an inspection for which a seller needs to ensure all changes were made with the approval of the HOA. Our seller (an investment property management company) had to fix several things in our house to being them up to code to get those approvals, which helped me as a home buyer.

Besides that, the HOA has been very responsive, we did replace our windows without their approval but it was relatively easy to fix given that they were similar windows.
This matches my experience. Our neighborhood is rich in a mix of housing. There are large apartment buildings with small, relatively affordable apartments, townhouse of 2 sizes, and then single family homes that run from large to very large. I assume that the many people who own one-bedroom condos are just as interested as the people who own the six-bedroom houses in keeping the common areas well maintained.
I think that'd be an interesting feat, moreso in the "don't screw with people crows like" sort of way. They are crazy smart birds. They'd familiarize themselves with people that'd give the old man a hard time, and would either avoid those people, or execute Avian justice. They'd also communicate the same to the rest of the murder.

Pidgeons, I can't really abide. Crows are cool though.
Again I realize my comment is semi off topic as this has to do with Australian/Chinese relations, but my point was that, as an American, it’s amazing this question was completely off limits for roughly a year. Not trying to opine on wether Australia is in the right or wrong, or vice versa.

That first year during/after the outbreak is the best time to find the right answers regarding origination. Not play politics, on that I think I agree with you.

I do not agree that, because a topic becomes political, it is somehow better to avoid finding the truth. I read your comment to have the following logic which I strongly disagree with:

- Asking if this was a lab-leak origination is/was a politically charged question, and
- politically charged questions should be avoided. (Perhaps even to the point of ignoring the topic or taking action to silence discussion)
- therefore, we should not ask about the origins of the outbreak.
It’s very hard to estimate the true power consumption of laptops since they are all primarily fed from the battery not the charger. There are almost no passthroughs anymore even in “gaming” laptops. Only a handful of DTR laptops still employ a passthrough with a high wattage PSU or dual PSU set up and I honestly haven’t seen those for the last 2-3 gens...

The last one I’ve seen that had it was a 8700K with dual 1080’s DRT monstrosity.
For those out of the loop: Unreal Engine 5 is in early access, two of the most exciting new features are Nanite and Lumen

Nanite is a system for efficiently rendering masses of geometry (more so than using traditional methods)

Lumen is a technique to enable global illumination (rendering with multiple light bounces, traditional engines do 1 bounce + trickery) by first converting geometry to signed distance fields. Signed distance field techniques are very interesting, swapping triangles for analytic surface equations, they can be used to accelerate complex physics and lighting calculations. They've only recently started making their way into big commercial engines – starting with Media Molecule's Dreams game and now in UE5

Okay, let me clarify/amend: keep condos and other cases of split ownership of a single building as they are now, but do what I said for single-family homes and other cases where every structure is wholly owned by a single person.
City bylaws can be nearly as strict as HOA with lots of stylistic rules such as no laundry lines even in non-heritage neighbourhoods.

True but Lucas doesn't have final say on classifying his movies. People who make things have an incentive to claim that their work is somehow special.

I'd just say Star Wars is science fiction with lots of fantasy elements, as well as lots of influence from different genres (Earth-based war films, adventure serials, etc.)

I see the fact that humans in Star Wars seem to be the "same species" as Homo sapiens to be similar to the fact that movies that take place in ancient Greece have the characters speak modern English. We are expected to understand that humans in Star Wars evolved there, not in Africa on Earth. It would be more realistic to have the main characters look very different from us, but it probably wouldn't make for as enjoyable a movie.
There definitely are people out there in this thread proposing clients be able provide UUIDs. I’ve seen it elsewhere too.

I’ve also personally experienced UUID collisions due to badly set up VM environments under Windows. It isn’t a good idea to blindly trust any value - and that includes supposedly ‘never collide’ id’s like UUID.

For what it’s worth, I also had the joy of debugging someone’s distributed hash table that was using md5 as the hash bucket key (this was... 2 decades ago?) and had no way to handle collisions because obviously that is impossible.

Not the person you originally asked, but an HOA is an additional layer for a start. Moreover it tends to have more restrictions, of a kind that would seem ridiculous at the level of local government (e.g. what color your curtains can be, in the case of the condo I'm currently renting.)
Okay, I'm dating myself, but when I was in grad school, there was a campus computer store, and they gave out a little pamphlet: "Do I need a personal computer?" It listed a number of pro's and con's, but the message that has stuck with me is this one:

Don't expect your computer to organize you. If you have a messy desk, you will have a messy computer.

Decades later, I have both a messy desktop and a messy computer. I think there is something about personal organization that, if it eludes you, it will elude your computer too. I've made peace with the fact that I will never be a hyper organized person. The best thing I can do is to put my stuff somewhere and hope that it's searchable.

You're right, and that's bad, too.

As a brit I find these interesting. We don't have them. Planning law is a bit tighter. And there are laws about party walls. But HoAs just aren't a thing here...
What sorts of other contracts can bind heirs?
Did you ever get married, or owned stocks in a company? Have you ever entered into a signed agreement with someone? Signed a contract on anything?

What about signed a lease on an apartment? That's pretty common. The landlord owns it, but you have rights on it and they can't do whatever they want with their own property anymore.

Why does it surprise you that someone can own something but sign some of their ownership rights away? People literally do this all the time for a million reasons.
Give them a break - English is probably not their first language.

Unless we are able to modify the organs themselves, including the insulin response and mTOR, no single substance will ever prolong lifespan in a significant way.

In my experience discussing the topic, the people who claim there are absolutely no properties anywhere not in an HOA are not very truthful. Similarly, they're also makes outlandish claims about how there is only one job they can do and it's only located in this one city so they have absolutely no choice in the matter. It is simply impossible for them to live anywhere else except in this one town that only has HOA properties. The reality is that they want to live in an HOA but they don't want any of the obligations that come with it. They want their neighbors all bound by the rules but they should be granted exceptions because they're special.

Personally I would never live in an HOA with tons of rules and design standards but that's what some people like and are free to join. It's their choice. There are plenty of HOAs that just want you to keep your yard mowed twice a month and not keep junk cars and old appliances outside. It's a continuum but far too many want the surroundings of a strong intrusive HOA and the obligations on them of a weak or non-existent HOA.

If you can get a signed enterprise agreement it's not as bad. I would do the same if I was on AWS (in fact, we did at the company I worked for) or Azure. My news feeds have a horror story every few months from someone getting locked out/banned/deleted from GCP though.
The people behind this seem to be working in Beijing, so there's a possibility English isn't the first language they're using. I don't want to make assumptions, just give the benefit of the doubt. This is science, not literature - there could still be value here. Or not. I just wouldn't discount it for a typo.
The architecture may be possible in the sense that feature-wise you have the pieces (or most of them). But resources like memory, bandwidth and gpu speed, would fall way below the thresholds and tradeoffs needed to make this useful and not just "possible".
Probably there was no article in HOA rules that was applicable.
I'm making an (admittedly subtle) distinction here between complex mistakes, where something was missed, and simple mistakes/bad actors where someone used a privilege in a manner they shouldn't have.

LGTM ensures that, for example, a single individual can't push a code change that drops the database. On the other hand, that same individual might be able to turn of the database in the AWS console.
> E.g. you planting a tree right next to a fence may soon block sun to neighbour for a big part of the day.

The solution to this is to define land ownership as a 3D space and not a 2D space. It should be a 3D trapezoidal sort of shape, and as long as you keep everything within that it should be allowed.

> Access roads, water, waste

These are utilities. You pay for access to them

> , community space etc

This should be optional and you pay IF you want access

But hell no they should not be governing aesthetics of something you own. If you can get the right architectural permits and whatnot you should even be allowed to rebuild your house in a different style. That's what ownership means.

The (obvious) reply is to ban prior restraint. If you can show that the speaker really did knowingly and directly incite violence then you have remedies after the fact once you show that they had a hand in causing the violence. But you do not even arrest authors of books like Rules For Radicals or the Antifa Handbook that excuse or promote violence.

E.g. you can arrest someone for actually shouting fire in a crowded theater after they did this. But there is no pre-crime unit that will arrest someone for speaking based on the assumption that someone else might then commit violence later on inspired by the book.

Similarly there is punishment for someone planting bombs or even calling in bomb threats to a school, but there is not punishment for someone writing the Anarchist Cookbook or arguing that bomb threats are a good idea or that this country would benefit from bomb threats in order to bring about the socialist utopia. None of this requires censorship of mere discussion of controversial subjects before the fact, on the basis of fear that they might be used to incite violence in the future. We even allow people to carry guillotines in the streets and stage mock executions of their political enemies, and we allow people top speak of their admiration for Robespierre. We don't arrest them. But if someone were to actually guillotine an enemy, then they would be arrested. We punish those who commit the violence, not those who inspired them with books we don't like.

Both Fullerene C60 and SkQ1 can double lifespan in mice.
Everybody should take (at his own risk) SkQ1, it's gonna create a new generation of temporally old but physically young people.
SKQ1 being considered non toxic and properly eliminated by the body and given it's large (>150 studies) body of evidence showing revolutionar anti ageing (totally prevent Alzeihmer, Parkinson), to me the risk/benefit cost is a no brainer.

In addition to it, mexidol can be a nice augmentation.
Of course it's only a part of the complete anti ageing solution, see also:

We should investigate the benefits of sodium as well. Sodium is vitally important for many bodily function and is a very misunderstood nutrient.

Well, if your idea of chilling is being away from civilization w/ moderate amounts of physical labor, then rather than acquiring a rural abandoned property, a possibly less committed option with more flexibility for tourism is camping.
Term limits don't work - in large governments or small. Some HOAs may have abusive governments (which should be voted out by the owners), but plenty of others operate fine and you don't hear about them because no one complains.

Our neighborhood has dues around $35 (they've actually dropped in the last 5 years due to sufficient reserves and lower than anticipated maintenance costs). Our HOA President has lived in the neighborhood since it was built and been the President for many years, and they do a fine job - they've been around enough to know who to talk to in city government if there's a problem, who in the neighborhood can be counted on for a quick favor (need to dig a posthole to install a new sign, etc.), contacts in nearby neighborhoods for coordination, etc. They do plenty of work, things run well, and there haven't been any issues.

The HOA in general avoids the overbearing nature described here. It mediates disputes between neighbors, approves property changes (emphasis on "approves" - I've been on the board, and while they'll often give feedback such as "please add another plant here", they almost never end up rejecting a request), and doesn't make too many demands. It recently requested the homes get repainted, but the last time it was required was 15 years ago, so that doesn't seem out of line to me. Frankly, I have no complaints.
Yeah that's bullshit. If someone wants to save energy they should be allowed to do so.

Preserving historic neighborhoods are fine. There's a historic value to them, and it's not some arbitrary group of old people with nothing better to do walking around getting pissed off at peoples' decorations.

I used to work for a place that built fast cars. We had a mate that used 5.0 or more for the factor of safety everywhere. Everything he designed was about 30% heavier than it needed to be, but we could easily adapt his parts for prototyping because it never mattered if you drilled a hole through the middle or cut them in half. They were plenty strong and reliable.

We called this the “Factor of Lloyd” and we had a few sayings about it.
