> So since I can create an HOA with my neighbors, can I move into a house that is connected to an HOA and collude with my neighbors to start an competing HOA or it's locked up to the same one forever?

Exiting an HOA typically requires either dissolving the HOA (by whatever rules allow for that in State law, typically a majority vote of members), following whatever deannexation procedures the HOA rules provide, or suing and winning a lawsuit against the HOA for failure to uphold its end of the deal and being given termination of the relationship as part of the remedy.

Once you are out of the HOA, you can certainly form a new one. Actually, I think you can probably do it without leaving, but then the pbligations would be cumulative.
In addition to that, there's some unwarranted anti-grass sentiment in the article with sentences such as "Good things happen when you remove the choking thatch of grass and let the earth breathe.". Non-grass landscaping can be done just as badly with chemical fertilizers and pesticides and unnecessary amounts of water just as much as with grass. Well-done turf grass with good quality soil can be organically fertilized and when fully-established, requires less water and essentially no pesticides as the healthy grass crowds out weeds. It also handles foot traffic, resists erosion from rain, produces oxygen, and promotes a healthy soil ecosystem with earthworms, etc. The problem is not grass, it's badly-done grass.
The biggest thing keeping me from shopping at Walmart is their anti-competitive and predatory behavior and the way they treat their employees and vendors.

Nothing else really matters to me regarding Walmart. There's no subscription service that would get me to shop at Walmart more than I do today (which is zero). There's no competitor that could decline in such a way that I would shop at Walmart. I know many in my social circles feel the same way.
Definitely. Our initial work is all in the US, but we're also keeping an eye on European power markets. Although they have a slightly different structure, its the same underlying problem.

We haven't looked outside the US and Europe, anywhere you'd recommend?

Ask HN: I'm Being Spammed by Sequential Phone Numbers. What Can I Do About It?
I'm really not sure what triggered this and I'm so lost on how to stop this besides just changing my phone number. I'm hoping with the broad audience on here I can get some advice. I've never experienced spam at this level on a personal device.

For the last 2 weeks I've been getting spammed by sequential phone numbers from my phone number's area code (which I no longer live in same state either).

The numbers look like,

470-220-2708

470-220-2709

470-220-2710

470-220-2711

470-220-2712

...

470-220-2724

Every time I block and report the number but I don't really think the report does anything.

There was another 470 area code sequential phone number set that was also spamming me for a few days but those stopped.
That can backfire. I allowed some confederate jasmine to grow and now its strong-as-wire vines are destroying building and equipment. I have to use those plastic blades on my weed eater to make a dent in it, and they don't last the hour because it's all on fence and the edge of concrete.

After not mowing for a couple of weeks I see vines popping up a few inches above the grass, and I know it will bind the blades if I let it go further.
It’s specifically that things are likely going to fall to shit before the kids have a chance to become adults. And that nothing those kids will be able to do as adults will have any effect on the domino effects of climate change that will make WW2 look like a leisurely stroll through Europe.

My experience with offering usage based pricing was not positive, mostly because we didn't impose a time limit on the consumption of the prepaid credits, which resulted in a a huge cash flow problem. We've now switched to a more standard tiered subscription model with some optional packages, where each tier also imposes limits on the usage, and this works way better.
(Of course, n=1, so YMMV)
I could only access the first of paragraph of the article, but this recalls a line I bookmarked in The Long Haul, the memoir of a liberal arts school dropout who ended up as successful trucker for high-end moving company criss-crossing America:

Municipal officials always seem to want auto assembly plants and call centers, but a real and lasting economic engine gets running when there's a university in town. As far as I can figure, the only places left in America that can be vibrant downtowns are college towns and high-end tourist towns. In the rest of the country the downtowns were hollowed out when nobody was looking.

Connect to multiple nodes and this won't be such a problem.

Obviously if a single node has a disk failure or OS crashes, and you are connected to that node, the blockchain is down for you and everybody else connected to that node .... but most of the other nodes are still up and the system as a whole is up.

> They should take that wage and job if they don’t have one. Beggars can’t be choosers.

They do, our whole quality of life is based on the bottom 3 quintiles not having better options. It’s a unique situation that COVID caused the government to broadly hand out assistance, giving people the ability to not have to subject themselves to those low wage-low quality of life at work positions.

> it’s quite another to not have a job for years because the pay/job isn’t what you like and you are burdening the taxpayer in the meantime.

It is possible to me, if I were a low wage worker, to look at the data for the past 5 decades and conclude the probability to “get out of that situation” is sufficiently low to warrant opting out of the game entirely.
Yeah this. We blew stuff up, made shelters, camped out and climbed up trees. The grass, asphalt and concrete was hot and boring.

I'll push back here... if you actually want the data on this, it's not a clean MSM<>Fox and co split, via "analyzing over fifty-five thousand online media stories, five million tweets, and seventy-five thousand posts on public Facebook pages garnering millions of engagements."

There's this general situation where yes, there is that ecosystem 1 and downstream sources OP mentioned, and there is the ecosystem 2 (Fox and downstream sources).

However, former POTUS and ecosystem 1 cycled between themselves a fair bit, ecosystem 2 and former POTUS cycle, so by proxy eco1 and eco2 are cross-linking to each other in a sense, and so on.

I'm not telling you that there is no good way to parse info sources out there, but I am telling you the "MSM vs. other" delineation that OP is calling for awareness of doesn't really exist if you study the actual information flow... which this team did.

If you want my advice, read primary sources on events that matter to you. Studies, court documents, and so on. It's what that whole confusing ecosystem uses as well, and you can get the raw data without the analysis.

Why listen to feedback when you have telemetry. (edit: /s for clarity. My point is that telemetry is probably a net negative for many projects.)

//mix of podcasts, blogs, other articles, YouTube videos, and HN//

Guess where these people find "stuff" talk/write about. They read books or do stuff. Honestly I will cut middle man and go directly to the "source". Already sick of "pundits" everywhere who read 2-3 books and create cocktail and start talking. For example, for technical stuff I rather read documentation or actual book than someone "hacking" blogs/YouTube videos. And also think 90% stuff people posting is garbage anyway. Garbage means "Not relevant to me/Not interested now/just Plain Old Garbage". now days I just read technical books for topic in hand. And for non-technical there are very few with high signal/noise ratio. Honestly instead of consuming other "garbage" information, I would happy to just stare at wall or watch movie or masturbate.
Off-topic, but I've known a few people that went pro, and in all cases, the causality definitely went in the opposite direction. They all hardly ever touched weights until they were told they'd have to for the combine. And then they got very good at it, but I'm not sure it made them any better. We also had a guy that set a youth world record in the deadlift. He was pretty good, but no pro. The agility tests are supposed to be better, but I've never seen an instance of anybody getting a whole lot better at them through training. The basketball combine is even harder to analyze. One thing that stood out as predictive was the slope of the unweighting curve prior to motion. Good luck training that. They lift weights mostly for injury prevention.

Not saying there's any relevant analogy to CS.
We need to go back to the TV model. I mean we sold things back in 1995 right?

You go to a website about babies, you get baby ads.

You go to a website about electrified fences, you get ads for trucks, tractors, backhoe rentals (even in your area because of your IP address - but that's it)

It's damn near equivalent to local / cable TV.

Stop using your phone number. It's a drastic solution, but the sooner we stop and find alternatives, the better position we will be in. You don't get spam called on Signal, Facebook Messenger nearly as much, do you?

Of course there are problems with this, but these can be solved. Phone spam can't.
They'll make their way in. This is my fourth summer in my house. The previous owners sprayed, but I haven't once. I bagged a bit the first summer but stopped. I've got lots of flowering plants in the grass now, without any extra effort on my part. I did overseed with clover this year, but I think naturally occurring clover had already started to take hold last year too.
And yet, with all this information about me, they still struggle to come up with even the slightest big of relevant advertising. 99.9% of the products I see advertised to me are either completely irrelevant to me or products I down right hate: and I never buy them. If they do have all the information the article claims, it just doesn't seem like they're able to use it in an effective manner. So what's the harm?

the key here, is, just don't buy products you don't want or don't need. as long as you do that, you'll be fine. I have yet to meet a single Ad that forced me to buy a product I didn't really want or need. And, just don't let the ads manipulate you.
Another alternative would be that Facebook will acknowledge that it gives them an advantage, but argue that that advantage is not undue. I would assume that whenever a firm does a thing, it is because that thing is advantageous or else reduces some disadvantage. That is as it should be. The trouble is when the advantages stack up to create monopoly power and/or run afoul of consumer or industry protection laws.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It's not a teaching resource

Isn't an encyclopedia a teaching resource? Etymology isn't destiny, but the "pedia" part is from Greek παιδεύω, meaning "child rearing". I'd interpret that as meaning "instructional".

The "encyclo" part means "circle", which in this case alludes to "comprehensive". As in, it's not just one instructional resource, but a guide to everything.

The word will grow and change over time, but I think most encyclopedias are still used as teaching resources. That doesn't mean Wikipedia has to be, but if it really wants to be an encyclopedia, I think it means the opposite of "shouldn't be a teaching resource".

What these kinds of articles (that basically just say how much of our data is being collected, and assert that it's bad) miss is the whole "attention economy" side of the equation, which I believe is more detrimental.

Data is concretely used to maximize engagement, outrage, polarization, etc. in order to get more attention, which is at a root of a lot of the public discourse challenges we have these days. It would be much more benign if tracking was really just about trying to see what I am most likely to buy and target that to me.
If you want to live in an area devoid of nature you should move to a city.

But holy shit, rabbits are so benign in their impact. They're not creating tons of burrows like moles. And oh no, you have to deal with tiny poop that's 90% grass and doesn't even smell? People like you are the problem.

Doesn't need to act differently in what it does.

Fedora contemplates the driverless printing future
Blackmail existed before cryptocurrencies. Maybe it was somewhat riskier, but when you are holding the East Coast of the United States hostage what are the chances they grab your bagman and chance affecting millions of citizens? That risk in getting paid is a deterrent, but not much of one, especially if payment can be arranged to occur in a criminal friendly country.

Some state actors may not even care if they get paid and would be just as happy to see the infrastructure burn. Some people are crazy and would destroy things just to appease the voices in their head. The true problem is not cryptocurrencies, it is the poorly protected software and people who use the software. Major fundamental changes are needed, and they won't be cheap or quick so start now.

It's not all roses. We are on year 2 after hardscaping/xeriscaping our central Oregon yard. We took out all grass and put in about 40 native plants and grasses, mostly on our easement. Our main lawn is mostly mulch. We ran into a few issues. 1 - one time a freak wind storm with 40+mph gusts blew some of the mulch away and we had to get about 1/2 yard more to replace it. 2 - our yard is on a slope and we did not account for proper drainage. During a huge storm, part of the yard washed out. We have since put in a drain/sink and it's fine now. We still have to weed and touch up the mulch. So just know it's not a maintenance free thing. I'd still do it again though for the the following reasons: 1 - much lower water usage. 2 - one less asshole on our street running lawn equipment. I absolutely hated maintaining/cutting grass. 3 - Really nice curb appeal. It actually looks great and we've had neighbors ask about it.
Clover for example is fine with kids running around on top of it. Even grass gets killed off in high traffic areas, but the random walking around kids do in a back yard has a wide range of viable options.
One other way to prove these algorithms is by writing them in z3 prover. You write a simple one that is 100% correct and then you prove equality for your optimized one or find an example that will show inequality.
