Walkie-talkies are mostly .5 to 5 watts, but you can get ones with 20 to 40 watts. I'm not sure how legal those are.
This is not correct for the current context. You are thinking about subleasing today. Yes, this is now friendly. The scenario for OP was handing over the entire lease in NYC in 2019. At the time, this was entirely up to the landlord's discretion, and you were legally on the hook for the full amount. Landlords were not required to find a new tenant.

> the fee they charge will be less than brokers. no way would someone handover a month's rent to some company who's only interaction with you is via chatbot

In Boston, I would've thought there's no way that someone would pay thousands of dollars of a broker fee for merely unlocking the door so you can see the place for literally a few minutes (and who expects you to bring your checkbook and write a deposit within 5 minutes, because they've scheduled another person to show up 5 minutes later)... but that's the setup, and many people have to play along with that.

You wouldn't think you'd pay 30% cut off the top to an app store, for the privilege of being in app search results, and also to be at the mercy of whatever backstabbing it might do to you in the future (e.g., when they decide to compete with your service, or a partner of theirs does), but that's the setup, and many people have to play along with that.

Do you know how much it would cost to have an actual employee, just to show the apartments and answer questions? You're paying them hourly or salary, plus payroll tax, unemployment, all of the other added expenses that a blue state throws on top of that. Plus liability, you now have to comply with every blue state law- oops did you not give the employee their exact mandated lunch time under California's very complex, tough to parse lunch rules? Get ready for a six to seven figure fine. The employee could always invent a discrimination lawsuit, wrongful termination, claim they were injured on the job, etc.

The broker is an independent third party to whom you pay a fixed fee, and have no extra cost or regulatory liability beyond that. A no brainer
Making components user replaceable rather than soldered in requires more connectors so more waste.
Brokers are always taking away money from renters, in one way or another.

In other cities property managers do the same thing, but they skim off the top of the rent checks and provide more services.

But really all the middlemen in housing are awful.
It bars corporate landlords from 80% of the housing stock, which is public. However they can buy and rent out the other 20% much like anywhere else, I guess.
I've always thought interstellar probes were kind of pointless. Even if the probe could average 10% of the speed of light, the amount of time it would take for a probe to reach its destination (all but the closest stars) and then for data to return at the speed of light is greater than the lifetime of anyone who wants to study. You'd have to send out the probe, hoping that your grandchildren wait around for the response.

Interstellar space exploration will likely be manned-only. As other threads point out, with sufficient acceleration, due to time dilation, humans can reach distant stars within their own lifetimes (at the expense of thousands of years passing on Earth).
you can just ask when the building was built. any building built before 1978 in LA and 1979 in SF (iirc) is rent-controlled. you can also look up the build date via parcel maps on the county assessor's website (e.g., https://portal.assessor.lacounty.gov/ ).

Spoiler: the landlord is just passing that cost to the tenant.

It's like in Canada where tenants can hire a broker for "free" to find a rental. However the broker just collects 1 month rent from the landlord. Do you think the landlord just absorbs the cost? No, the quoted rent was just 8.4% higher when the broker mentioned he was a broker.
Community ≠ Marketing: Why We Need Go-to-Community, Not Just Go-to-Market
Oh does your company only work with short term rentals (airbnb) and showings? I checked your website and came away with the impression that you might have landlords installing these units on long term rentals as well as business locations potentially. That does lower the stakes here significantly than what I was thinking.

And yeah props for that solution to intermittent connectivity issues :)
which is a different issue to my point, but still very valid. what terms are implied if no license is specified? I would argue attribution should be expected if used, but I also wouldn't go near any code without a specific license attached as there's no express permission given - just because a license isn't disclosed doesn't mean it isn't there.

you can't go copying anything and everything just because nobody has told you that you can't. and I feel that's part of the purpose behind GPL. force a license on derivative code so that at least there's clear rights moving forwards.
There are some very different dynamics though - for one, the path to profitability is a little easier and price probably won't ever need to be near where it is with brokers. Uber never actually removed the humans, but seems like they already got there with this.

Also, not likely to change the landscape in the way Uber did, the scale is so much smaller and no one is getting fooled into some gig economy loophole that exploits workers.

Will probably end up with its own problems, but can't think it's worse than some brokers having to find another job/get creative.
The constitution is a legal document that is formally upheld by the US legal system. Many of the ideas within it were derived from other places, but it, itself, is a codified legal document.

It may be wrong but it sure feels good to post a cartoon as a snarky response rather than having a reasoned discussion.
If the only ones allowed to emit net positive CO2 where those rich enough to afford private planes global warming wouldn't be an issue because there are not enough of them.

It is still a evil corrupt practice to except the rich like this though. The same laws need to apply to everyone, which means my time on an airplane counts for as much as anyone else even though I can only afford to fly at all because I buy one seat on a commercial plane once in a while. Either everyone can't fly, everyone can, or at least the same rules apply.
I downvoted you. Fighting climate change is very important, and not just a power grab. People need to rise up and protest against things like these, so that power grab wouldn't happen.

Just to clarify, perhaps my point is not obvious. We want to have carbon taxes because they address the problem of economic externality in combusting fossil fuels. Different example of a similar tax, that aims to solve a similar problem: road tax; it's supposed to help finance maintenance of the road, which gets slowly damaged by each passing vehicle.

Now imagine somebody will lobby for a law that exempts certain vehicles (that rich people use) from the road tax. Would you then conclude, well, road maintenance is nothing than a power grab anyway, and we shouldn't do it? That doesn't make any sense to conclude that, and similarly, it is wrong to conclude that fighting climate change is just a power grab.
There's no clear line and there can never be because the world is too complex. We leave up determination to the court system.

> The core of my argument is that we need to empower developers to discover what will lead to efficiency

As others have answered, the answer is very obvious and doesn't need a lot of theorizing. Give good money and respect. Treat people as individuals (especially your mid/senior people). Accept that people will work on your team NOT because they believe in your product (they may in fact hate it) but because they need the money or the experience. This is not bad or wrong as long as they're being professional about it. Most important one is to not generalize, and to recognize nonsense that might creep into your thinking process. Most engineers have a great eye for spotting nonsense and they smell bullshit a mile away.

> as the only way to lessen the load on the team is remove complexity of the application, and the only way to do that is to communicate between all of the domains

Shaky assumptions upon shaky assumptions. These kinds of statements usually come from either a very experienced person or an extremely inexperienced one. From the substance of these statements it's obvious it's the latter and not the former.

> The best way to communicate is to have someone who knows all of the domains.

Honestly if you had started with this statement I wouldn't have replied at all because I would be 100% sure you're trolling. I can't even tell anymore. But this is way beyond unfounded.

MIT License and Commons Clause
It seems to me the most likely scenario is that we perfect the ability to copy minds into an electronic computer system. Such a digital mind would no longer need most of the resources a human body would and could potentially last nigh-indefinitely. It would also be able to take advantage of both >1G (no flabby meat body) and <1G (no aging) constant accelerations. Further, a colonization effort by digital beings would only require raw resources to build more electronics and starlight for power, which expands the number of habitable places from "planets with human survivable conditions" to "basically anywhere near a star".
It's like inverted Survivorship Bias.

Neat that she's wearing a mask, though. I'm seeing some charming ballet being done with masks to match the costumes.

> Innocent (and clueless) people seeking privacy had their privacy violated by this action.

You state this as fact without any proof. The AFP and FBI assert that 100% of the users were engaged in criminal activity. Given the distribution method, which included vetting by a known criminal organization, the requirement to have an account created by administrators that are again known to be criminal, and the ability to only contact others on the same network, I tend to believe that assertion until I see proof otherwise.
Not sure why that's hilarious, it's kinda sad.
The physical dependencies of a house vs the abstract nature of software interdependencies really makes the analogy fail for me. Houses just don't don't regularly fall down 8 times a day because one framer is putting a nail in a new wall and that caused the fireplace to explode.

> More recently, and more sensationally, there is an entire chapter on Tatlock’s death in Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin’s biography of Oppenheimer

I read American Prometheus last summer, and did not walk away with any inkling that the discussion of Tatlock's death was sensational at all. I just re-skimmed that chapter and while it documents the questions others brought up later, the authors do not seem to imply they thought it was more than a suicide. They conclude by saying Oppenheimer never thought it more than suicide.
WE already did that. Its called nuclear power. Fission energy can do almost everything fusion can do. The difference in energy density between fission and fusion is not that large compared to the energy sources we have.

With all the investment in solar and wind we could easily have built a fission based economy. The French proved that in the 70/80s and had a green grid ever since.

Had we done that collectively global warming would be a far lesser issue.

It would also help us understand neutronics and material science so we can eventually switch to fusion.

The same basic technology could also be used for space travel in the solar system and would have advanced space travel by a lot.

But of course for idiotic reasons society went away from that.
The problem for Twitter is that Trump used their platform to further incite a mob as they ransacked the US Capitol. Twitter doesn't want to be a conduit from Trump to his followers if the messages he delivers incite them to commit acts of violence and insurrection.

There is a direct line from Trump tweeting about how Pence lacked the courage to deliver them the presidency by certifying what Trump called a "fraudulent vote", to Trump's followers chanting "Hang Mike Pence" in the halls of the Capitol when they got the message.
If some things need air freight, and can't offset the carbon tax, why are we bothering? Maybe flying short-date crops from tropical climates shouldn't be a thing. If you really want those sugar snap peas, get ready to pay to ship them.
It is NOT cheaper in SF. 2 miles costs at least $20 and can be as high as $40. I don't think I've been anywhere in the world where prices are that high for taxis and there are plenty of places in the world where taxis are plentiful.

I'm happy the services exist but they are not cheap, at least not here.

There are many countries that restrict what names you can use for a child. I'd always been under the impression that it was more to protect from instances of an idiot parent naming their child "adolf hitler" or "Santa Claus".

I really doubt any 'elites' are worried about their access to jet fuel vs anyone else. Any 'elite' who thinks about that for a second or two knows they'd win that just by the nature of economics.

The pandemic proved the premise (not hyperbolic), with particular reference to drugs & PPE.

Had industries like refining, chemicals & primary materials manufacturing (as just 3 of many examples) remained centric to North America we would now be in a position apply the "Green New Deal" ethos and its vast expenditures to industries that provide offsetting jobs, tax revenues and secondary income flows at home. Instead, we must now direct the progressive agenda to things like real-estate, power grids, power generation, transportation & farming. These industries are either comparatively small employers or soon-to-be so due to automation; and several are reliant on inputs from China that simply transfer even more wealth from the US abroad.
What a crock of shit
But the person making money from the GPL code has to follow the terms of the license. Attribution, sharing modifications, etc.
This is a fallacy, at least in NY. I asked my last landlord about this. I asked "if brokers can't charge renters their fee will you pay it instead?". He replied immediately, "no way, I'll just ask my nephew to show the apartments instead". I had just paid a 12% fee to a broker a year earlier with this same landlord! Thousands of dollars. The broker did very little for this exorbitant fee, they opened a door for a dozen people maybe, and uploaded a few pictures online. They were simply the gate-keeper and I had no choice in the matter.

The only reason landlords deal with them is that it's easier for them to do so, so why not. It's pervasive enough, as a quirk of history, that it's tolerated. They certainly do not provide value that matches up with their fees in most cases.

Rents may go up, but it will be only a fraction of the insane fees retail brokers in NY charge. It needs to change.

> "However - Copilot directly recites code."

Sounds like that wouldn't be difficult to fix? Transform the code to an intermediate representation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_representation) as a pre-processing stage, which ditches any non-essential structure of the code and eliminates comments, variable names, etc., before running the learning algorithms on it. Et voila, much like a human learning something and reimplementing it, only essential code is generated without any possibility of accidentally regurgitating verbatim snippets of the source data.
Generics is not really the right cutting point: parametric polymorphism is perfectly decidable. However, few languages stop at just parametric polymorphism. For instance, the OCaml issue in the linked blog post happens at the module level, which mixes parametric polymorphism and subtyping. And typically, while SML has parametric polymorphism, it lacks the OCaml extension that makes the module type system undecidable.

Is it? Or are venture capitalists just footing the bill?

Whatever model of "price" you use needs to take into account the fact that not only are Uber and Lyft lighting enormous piles of Saudi money on fire to "gain marketshare" but that the actual drivers are being paid peanuts. This isn't pure win, it's more like Nestle handing out free baby formula in Africa to destroy the "domestic market" so to speak.
