Hybrid working seems like the worst of both worlds. You get to need a working space in your home, so you need a bigger apartment if you're not single and especially if you have kids, and you can't just move to a lower COL suburb or exurb because you still need to commute half the time.

Sounds horrible. My preference? Either full remote or nothing.

Oh. Of course you're right.
For 50k+, you're probably better off improving your thermal envelope (insulation/air tightness) and going with a smaller HVAC unit.
Credit agencies - at least in the US - really don't know when you pay the rent, though, unless the landlord reports this. Same for payments: This is a big part of the reason you cannot simply live within your means [1] and have good credit later in life.

You won't.

Many companies - utilities, landlords, hospitals, and so on - simply won't report anything unless it is negative. The negatives are usually sending something to in-house collections, a collection agency, or filing a civil suit to get the money.

Loans, in general, will report. This includes credit cards. Some of the buy here/pay here places won't report, though, so you get no help on your credit.

[1] What I mean by "live within your means" is to simply do things like pay cash for a used car, rent an affordable place, and simply pay your bills on time.
sounds a bit like Starshot project funded by Yuri Milner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Starshot

"The Starshot concept capable of making the journey to the Alpha Centauri star system 4.37 light-years away. It envisions launching a "mothership" carrying about a thousand tiny spacecraft (on the scale of centimeters) to a high-altitude Earth orbit for deployment. A phased array of ground-based lasers would then focus a light beam on the crafts' sails to accelerate them one by one to the target speed. At a speed between 15% and 20% of the speed of light, it would take between twenty and thirty years to complete the journey, and approximately four years for a return message from the starship to Earth."
> No they don't. In fact most people don't have a clue about what Salesforce is or how IBM touches their lives.

False, regular people were so confident in IBM that it became a catchphrase in IT departments around the world:

"Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM!"

Meaning the products not the stock.

A scenario where you make 150B based on future hypothetical execution which you can always postpone because your cult followers will always give you more time....that is bound to cause an opposite reaction of equal strenght among those who are not part of the cult and see this very suspicious allocation of wealth playing out.

It's just what it is, people are suspicious about unjustified enrichment, always have and always will be. The owners and founders of the other companies that I mentioned saw their fortune rise in lockstep with the real life relevance of their company. I mean concrete and tangible relevance, quality of life being produced in a way which is proportional to the rise in wealth, not future projections of infinite growth based on up & to the right charts.

Gates first made Windows 3.1 and then became a billionaire, he then made Windows 95 and then became a multibillionaire.

Same goes for Rockefeller, Ellison , Buffett and so forth

> No in fact people are asking less and less questions. The FUD about Tesla was 100x larger a few years ago.

It's not FUD, it's FACTS. As of today Tesla doesn't produce any tangible quality of life, whereas the guy who sued for the title of owner of the company is pocketing quality of life with a shovel, matter of fact he needs thousands of bulldozers to pick up all that quality of life.

People look around, see suspicious stuff and sound the alarm, it's just what people do. That's the reason why people report suspicious activity and denounce cults such as Scientology, NXVIM etc and I am sorry but this is one of those cases. You should not be upset about it, you should ask yourself why so many people are sounding the alarm.
Part of the problem there is that if removing alcohol from their system were cheap and easy, they'd probably do it, even if it was still damaging their body, and that'd be their choice for their body. The big difference is that climate change doesn't just harm the persons causing it, it harms literally everyone on the planet and a lotta those folks have zero say in it.

Your argument can be seen to be invalid because it attempts to apply to any Turing-complete architecture, when in fact the problem is more architecture-specific than that.

In an architecture that used fixed-length instructions and required the program counter to be aligned on them -- or had some other mechanism that disallowed overlapping instructions -- it would be easy to scan for an opcode like this. (Assuming you can distinguish the instructions from the data segment, anyway.) Such a solution doesn't run into any problems with the halting problem or Rice's theorem because it's not attempting to tell you with certainty whether the program will hit that opcode; it just gives you a one-sided test that says, aha, it could hit that opcode (because it's present) and therefore the program is suspicious. A negative result guarantees it won't hit the opcode, a positive result doesn't guarantee anything.

It's only x86's allowing of overlapping instructions that makes this problem hard. I mean, notionally you could scan for such an opcode at every offset, it's just that the false positive rate might be unacceptably high. (Whereas in the fixed-length instruction case, it wouldn't be, because a program using one of these opcodes at all truly is suspicious, regardless of whether it's hit. Although, again, I'm assuming you can somehow filter out the data segment; if you can't, then we have more of a problem.)
Why not ask the bank to confirm that you make enough, without revealing how much you make and your whole spending history?
> repeat until cancer goes away or patient dies

This sounds very similar to participating in a clinical trial and to me ironically seems to be the opposite of precision medicine.

The Nagourney Cancer Institute cultures live cancer cells from the patient to test for what drugs may work. Doesn't work for everyone, but seems more in line with precision. Whereas genomic sequencing hasn't produced the amazing results that were expected.
What real Soviet spy would openly operate in communist/pro-Soviet circles?

Quite a few did since that was where ideologically-motivated recruits were more readily available. The obsession was misplaced and counterproductive not because the spies weren't there but because the overwhelming majority of people with left-leaning politics weren't any sort of spies or even 'disloyal' in any material sense.

> The fact is that many UX designers are designers first and foremost and maybe even entirely non-technical when it comes to specs

I don't think that's much of an excuse. A graphic designer needs to know about page bleed and colour spaces. A product designer needs to understand the strengths (literally sometimes) and weaknesses of the materials they are working with. And a UX designer for a tech product needs to understand the technical constraints of the medium they designing for, or be able to talk proficiently to someone who does.

How can you design a user's experience (lest we forget what UX stands for) if you don't understand to at least some level the medium through which it will be conveyed. Designing something that a user will never see because the colour depth of the display they be using can't convey it is not designing the user's experience at all.
Every time I think about WWI, it seems like about the most miserable and terrifying war conditions I can imagine.

But then when I watch old interviews with WWI veterans they all seem unusually chipper about it. Really kind of confuses me. Not sure if it was just a different time or if they had just repressed all the inhumanity of it.
All the buildings in Samsung's digital city in Suwon have their lunches organized by floor. It is verboten to go to the cafeteria before the lights on your floor dim, indicating it is now your floors turn.

So my Jewish friends could technically eat a cheese burger, as long as the cheese was placed on the burger after cooking?

Would they have to wait till the burger cools down so that it doesn't melt the cheese? (Here I am concerned about carryover heating/cooking being considered cooking by law.)

I am endlessly fascinated by religious laws and their implications/consequences.
I just wish it were the same for pets. We've lost two cats to cancer in the past two years. There's so much they can do to extend quality of life, but not much in the way of actually extending their lives.
Your original argument is based on the false premise that the amount of time or effort matters -- it doesn't. Not all human activity can or should be subject to copyright -- this the dangerous slippery slope of "intellectual property" -- and we are dangling by edge these days.

Big Corps, much like liquid flowing downhill, tend to flow towards whatever makes them the most money for the least effort, with no regards for ethics except where their bottom lines are affected.

I think this is more cogent analysis than anything else I've seen yet on this topic. You should consider submitting a blog post so this can become a top-level topic.

Also, I loved this quote:

> Copying is one of the exclusive rights you have when you own the copyright in a work, that you may then license out.

I've been paying attention to software copyright topics for more than twenty years and never thought of it in exactly these terms. Its right there in the name - the right to copy it - and determine the terms under which others can copy it is exactly what a copyright is!
Sure, but it seems that in the short term at least this company is improving the rental market. Should we really critize them on hypothetical future behaviour when the current behaviour is a benefit?

And as for Uber/Lyft, there's no doubt that they provide a much improved experience for the consumer.

I mostly agree with you on this. In fact, this concept somewhat came from a fediverse/activity_pub thing I was working on awhile ago: https://github.com/pubcast/pubcast

The concept of having an "inbox" and "outbox" and then just interlacing with everyone else really hits that part of my brain.

I can see a reason to exempt flights that are flying abroad.

For example, an EU airport could charge max(min(10%, tax rate of country you came from last), tax rate of country you're flying to next).

Thats to prevent an aircraft just filling up where it's cheap and carrying that fuel around the world unnecessarily.

The EU should then lobby other countries to introduce fuel taxes, and if they refuse, set fees for aircraft coming from those countries into the EU which is approximately equal to the taxes due on the fuel for those flights.
Can't really blame software for housing policy. That's a societal issue.
Thanks for the response, and the link.

The trouble with this method is that it creates a publicly-accessible, unauthenticated feed of my calendar and all the event data in it. I don't deal in a lot of particularly sensitive trade secrets, so I'm less concerned than others on this thread about the notes being unencrypted in your cloud. Encryption would be great, but I have a reasonable expectation that you're not just letting anybody who finds it scoop up your whole database. But that's what publishing a calendar feed does. I can't leave an open door to the internet (however obscure) to all the potentially confidential information that someone might send me as part of an event. I'll have to wait for "real" exchange support.

If you post your code to the public, I wouldn't be shocked if people copy it verbatim without regard to license. I'm not suggesting that is a proper thing to do, just accepting that it can happen when I post code.
I agree, my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2020. One of the drugs that he was given as part of the anti-cancer regimen "Avastin" - starves the tumor of blood supply, effectively limiting growth, this differs from conventional chemo which attacks both healthy and cancer cells.
After 22 cycles, he went into remission earlier this year.
Yeah, that's more or less what I meant. Write a regex (plus line of code) to make sure `Tarzan` appears. Then write another regex and line of code to make sure `"Tarzan"` doesn't appear.

Maybe at this point you aren't using regex even. Nice, you solved two problems.

(I do appreciate regex and even use them a lot. But, I use them enough to avoid them as much as possible.)
My point is that landlords still do realize that "more money for the broker == less money for me", even if this money is not coming directly from their pocket. So they still have incentive to choose a cheap one.
UX question here: I noticed on the blog's screen shots that "self checkout, but for apartments" is used. How did you come up with "self-checkout" as the action? Checkout seems so far away in time re: the process flow. What was your users' mental model?
Since they aren't taxis, car services can charge enough there is no such thing as a low profit route for them.

In cities, there were were either no taxis around in certain neighborhoods, or they simply would not come at all even if you called and asked the taxi company and the dispatcher told you they had sent a driver. Both of these I experienced personally.
No, they intent to learn from it or find a solution to their problem. It's much harder to argue human intent in court than GitHub blantantly doing so.

Once PeerTube adds a way for plugin developers to monetize videos without ads directly on peertube, it might become much more interesting to people trying to build a career making content. Right now, the only option is to link to other pages (mostly paypal and patreon) and hope to get supporters that way.

It's OK to keep it the way it is now, but there's friction in order to support content creators: you need at least one other account on another website in order to support at least one creator. I also doubt most people will support more than a few creators through those means.

A "donate as you watch" plugin or something would be very useful. Transfer funds at some frequency to your peertube/activitypub account, and define rules (or keep some reasonable default) of how that is distributed.

Examples:

- 100% of your funds go to your favorite creator
- 90% to favorite creator, 10% to the next top 2 depending on accumulated watch time in a month
- Funds are distributed proportionally to watch time in a month

Given that this is opensource and plugins are possible, there's a lot of room for innovation.
Thanks for the feedback.

I’ve found that pseudo-dehydration leads to irritability in myself and family members. I can detect this with a few signals:

- lips are chapped

- skin feels especially warm to the touch

- moreso if skin is reddish or clammy

- droopy, tired eyes

- sticky tongue, “clicky” speech

- persistent sniffing, a dry nose

- difficult defecation

It’s amazing how quickly a large amount of water will make these conditions go away and boost mood and energy. If I find myself thinking particularly grouchy thoughts I feel my forehead, and if feels warm relative to my hand I know I need to hydrate. I try to go and get a big glass of water, drink it, then refill it and go back to my desk. Too many times I’ve got up and gotten water only to come back to my station with an already empty cup.
>Yet they don't kill them or fabricate charges.

While I cannot disconfirm the former (though there have certainly been some high profile cases with fishy circumstances- such as JFK), what about the Russiagate nonsense with Trump? I might hate him but the manchurian candidate theory was transparently bs from the very beginning, even before the investigation that proved it. He's certainly not the first politican that this line was used on and will probably not be the last. It seems to be a bipartisan thing to simultaneously shift focus of the public from national level corruption in favour of a foreign bogeyman and simultaneously slander opponents.

In a so called representative democracy, you do not need to outright murder or imprison your opponents to enforce control, you simply either have to relegate them to irrelevance through skewed or absent corporate media coverage or buy them out. See Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, early Nancy Peloski, AOC, etc.

The tactics might differ from a transparently autocratic regime but the intentions are the same, and the end result is not really as different as liberals like to paint it. For all the unpopular politicians that are allowed to continue, there is police violence, surveillance, torture, imprisonment, and outright assasinations of prominent figures in activist groups. Then there is what they get up to outside the confines of US citizenship and borders.

Look at the state of Bolivia, Columbia, most of Central and Southern America actually. They have death squads from paramilitary groups backed by US multinational companies for the sole purpose of brutally putting down any attempts at collective bargaining or real democracy. Just because it's not visible in your backyard doesn't mean your country is not responsible for that mess.

I wondered why, during the pandemic, it wasn't common to let elevators "air out" while they were idle. Given what we know about COVID-19 and how it spreads with aerosols. From looking at this list, it appears that that's not a mode they would have by default.
You don't understand that different people will burn different amounts of calories as a base?

I'm not and have never said that if two people eat the same amount, it'll impact them the same.

I said that you need to burn more calories than you consume.
First, when people feel that the tax code doesn’t represent the spirit of the law, they change the wording, likely they will amend it and put the same tax on Sumo Citruses as on other citruses. So the tax code and the Talmud are quite different animals.

Second, I am pretty sure the Talmud is not so precise to the point of specifically mentioning pressing pressing buttons on an elevator. So the analogy kind of doesn’t work there again.
> Don't use services that lock you in.

Why, if they bring value?

How can I "abstract" BigQuery?

> If it's abstracted behind an agreed upon industry standard protocol (MySQL, pg, mongo connections or S3/NFS storage, etc)?

This still doesn't answer the question of "can be implemented within kube for at-cost prices."

BigQuery is amazing at processing enormous amounts of data at fraction of time and cost it would take, say, MySQL to process the same data. How can I "abstract it away" and "implement it at cost with kube".

Even if it's purely standard stuff like PubSubs, or Apache Beam, there are value-added options that are hard to get from other providers (or implement yourself): anything from monitoring to management to scaling to...

I'm not to crazy about vendor lock-ins myself, but "abstract everything away and you can easily move over if needed" is largely a myth.
