They captured one of the distributors for a secure phone company they had already taken down. He was trying to start up his own secure messaging app so they basically funded him, added the backdoors, and used his network to market the new device. It's funny to think about but who would you trust more, some silicon valley company making a "secure" messaging app or one made by another criminal? It's not like there is a LinkedIn for international criminals so there's a physical network of trust required and this guy seemed to have had it.

Because sometimes felons use their place of residence as the center of the location of their felonies? And sometimes those felonies are against nearby people? If you had an apartment complex, you wouldn't want to rent to a breaking-and-entering specialist, or even a car thief. You wouldn't want to rent to a meth manufacturer or distributor. And you wouldn't want to rent to a serial rapist.

Eventually it just becomes easier to just say "no felons" than to try to figure out whether this particular brand of felony is going to negatively impact you or your other residents.

On the other hand, felons have to live somewhere...

The question was about nicotine; it is not generally the _nicotine_ in cigarettes that kills you. That's what keeps you smoking them (to a large extent) but it's not what kills you.

I was a smoker for 14 years and vaping is the only thing that could get me off of it. And I do feel quite a bit better.

The only issue I've had was with propylene glycol, a main ingredient of most juices, to which I've got a mild allergic reaction (it essentially gives me bronchitis). Your dad may have something similar, it's quite common.

Anyhow, all the FUD in the US about vaping, its cultural association there with irritating types, the rush here in the EU to tax it as if it was cigarette (it isn't), and the growth of corporate trash on top of it has been incredibly discouraging. It's putting a barrier in front of smokers for something that's for all intents and purposes the most effective medication.
It’s also interesting as a non sequitur. If everyone is getting the rug pulled out from under them, who is winning?
> `vector-sized` package[1]. This does not directly support multi-dimensional indices as the size type parameter must be of kind KnownNat, but they can be nested,

Oh! That's neat. Nesting would eliminate the need for a list at the type level, and it seems to handle numbers at the type level. That's probably sufficient to write something like a function type

(a -> b -> c) -> Vector x a -> Vector y b -> Vector x (Vector y c)

Perhaps it can be an operator that can be chained setting the first argument to always be `(,)`.

That might roughly do what the comma does in Julia's multidimensional comprehensions.

The only bad part of this is that one wouldn't be able to define a Functor instance that works with arbitrary dimensions. It'd have to be one instance for 2 dimensions, one instance for 3 dimensions, etc.

For that, I think a list at the type level holding the dimensions would be necessary.

EDIT:

No, the nesting would prevent proper chaining mentioned operator. Using such an operator twice would result in something like `Vector z (Vector y (Vector x (a, b), c))` instead of the slightly more desirable `Vector z (Vector y (Vector x (a, (b, c)))` that I was thinking.

AFAICT, it doesn't seem that either of those suggestions is sufficient for type-safe multidimensional comprehensions in Haskell. They're better than what I found, but they still have their limitations.

When you buy an index fund, your investment gets weighted across many companies.

If some are delisted, the fund loses the money allocated to them, but not its whole portfolio. Then new companies are added to the index, and the fund's remaining assets get re-allocated to match the rules of the fund's underlying index.
> Why not, it doesn't cost them anything

It can't be quite this simple. If your renter is paying $X to you plus $Y to your broker, then their willingness to pay for the apartment was at least $X+Y, and you're leaving at least $Y on the table. In theory there should be a lot of market pressure to shrink Y. So the question becomes, what transaction costs are getting in the way of that? Or maybe, is the $Y actually buying something that's of value to the landlord?
I don't think you understand free speech in the US context, Twitter is protected by the first amendment, it itself has freedom of speech and of association. It does not have to allow anything it doesn't want on its platform. It could ban everyone wearing blue in their profile photo, it is THEIR platform. If Twitter COULDN'T ban anyone they wanted under US law THEN it would be a violation of free speech.

I don't think that's an accurate description...

Fair use is a defense for cases of copyright infringement, which means you're starting of from a case of copyright infringement, which sort-of muckys up the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing. And considering it's a weighted test, it's hardly very cut-and-dry at that.
I treat Copilot as literally a programmer in pair programming. Which means that if it's trained, i.e. it has "seen" GPL code, then it's tainted, and we should treat resulting code as GPL code.

Replace "GPL" with the most restrictive license that's on GitHub, but you get the point.

They're kinda shooting themselves in the foot, because this reduces the commercial potential of the tool to almost nothing.

Because there's no indication that it causes confusion for anyone except, perhaps, you. There is a lot more ambiguity in English than this and we don't put aside all of our other problems to deal with this.

Obviously you're not going to use it if your landlord doesn't allow subleases, and landlords are also usually pretty upfront about approval requirements for a sublease.

I've never heard of a landlord not allowing a subletter to convert to a full lease upon original lease expiration.

I mean, the alternative is to forego a month or two of rent while you find a new tenant. Unless there's a horrible problem with the existing subletter's credit, but then they probably wouldn't have gotten the sublease in the first place.

I'm not saying it's never happened, but it's going to be rare. I don't really see anything unsustainable or mispriced about this at all. There are already other companies doing it as well in NYC, e.g.:

That's why I advocate for running the NIMBYs out of town. I meant it literally.

NIMBYs are not only pro-homelessness and pro-urban-decay, but also pro-climate-apocalypse and anti-growth. In my mind, the only difference between NIMBYs and Big Oil executives is the scale of impact, and the only difference between NIMBYs and terrorists is the means of violence. We should act accordingly.
Yup. And people wonder why landlords are so picky...

10 years ago I would have entertained owning rental properties. I'm so glad with todays climate I didn't go down that path!
My point is automation is not going to fix the problem of an owner who is trying to squeeze every last cent of profit by skimping on maintenance, and hiring rude rental managers, or not paying enough for qualified people to come fix the problem.
I just moved to SF and I just used craigslist and always asked if it was rent controlled in my intro mail. What’s the point of visiting a place if it’s not?
IMO: the underlying architecture is mostly relevant to kernel/compiler authors and people doing aggressive optimization. For most application devs it's about as irrelevant as you can get (unless your language has a very hard to port compiler cough rust.)

What's good about this is that the source is available and can be verified to some degree against the hardware (by decapping it.) That puts a log of constraints on what kinds of secret back doors people can build that we didn't have before.

The summers were "getting warmer than before" for the past 400 years, before anthropocentric global warming. Look at any long term trend for temperature.

These are such weak arguments. It's pretty settled that humans do influence climate. Why do we need to appeal to fallacies when discussing about it?
Yes, my point was that the problem of a penny pinching owner trying to skimp on maintenance will not be solved by automating the maintenance request system.

not the particular year but rather the age; that there's been much development and thought on the topic since then, that particular presentation slide deck referenced multiple times since then as work that inspired things that came etc. Don't want to keep reverting to having the discussions all over again about topics that have been expanded on and discussed in threads afterwards
Well, it's all about tradeoffs. I've also used Thinkpads, and yes, you might get a better keyboard and all the freedom in the world, but you also get a much, much worse trackpad, a not half as good screen, worse durability, worse battery, a terrible webcam, etc.... windows is not any better than MacOS by any metric, and Linux, well, good luck setting up your screens, gestures, suspends might work or not depending on distrubution.

Nothing is perfect... not even thinkpads... and the tradeoffs imho are not worth it.
This sounds like Apple apologism. Repair shops certainly have the capability to fix these devices but are hampered by actively Apple who would obviously prefer you go through them for repairs which are nearly as expensive as buying a new phone which is the whole point.
==I skimmed the wikipedia article and it looks like it's just like ISOs, but for investment managers?==

A CSS course to turn you into a magician
Jesus Christ, I feel like quoting almost every line of this rant. Nothing has changed in the years since this article. My disillusionment with technology has gotten to the point that I've basically stopped programming entirely and am seriously considering a change in careers just to get away from all the broken, slow, user-hostile garbage that I have to work with daily. Not to mention the attitudes of the children who make this shit and proclaim its greatness and always have inane excuses why things can't be better.
My line of logic is that there are two types of investments. The first type is where you buy something that you hope to be able to sell for more down the road. So things like gold and bitcoin come to mind. You buy an ounce of gold today, and it doesn't grow to two ounces several years from now.

The other investment is where you buy an asset that gives you an annual return without having to sell off pieces of that asset. So dividend paying stocks, and real estate if you have something on it (farm, building, etc) that gives you a return. The base asset itself can also go up in price if the annual returns are expected to go up over time also.

Then there are assets that are in the second category, but you also have to put work into in order to get that return. So things like owning your own business. Real estate can also require some amount of your own sweat, or you can hire that out (which eats into your profits). Or you can buy wood-working equipment, learn to make quality furniture, then convert raw lumber into more expensive finished products. But again you have the upfront investment, consumables, and effort.

And the class of dividend-paying assets that you don't have to put any work in have a risk that they quit laying golden eggs at some point (i.e., the goose could catch a virus and die). So in reality, I never know what to invest in that doesn't require constant work, and doesn't require me to break off pieces of it to sell in order to extract value.
A fully open source chip, from Verilog to Fabrication is cool!

Ulterior motives, anti national -> (personally) this seems like free speech. I don't have to like it to think it should be legal.

Blatantly trying to interfere with elections -> if you mean by spreading opinions / propaganda, this seems generally under the realm of free speech. The government being able to silence opinions that disagree with it generally seems much more problematic than civilians being able to spread bad opinions

Cause riots -> Again, I think opinions should be legal. However, saying "hey y'all let's get guns and actively participate in violence" is not protected under free speech in any country I'm aware of, but is also not really my major concern with this legislation.
In addition, this is extremely hard to enforce. I think the amount of code running in closed systems that does not exactly respect the original license is shocking. What was the last case you know where this was a "scandal"?

I am not a lawyer. I do photography and have a more than passing interest in copyright as it applies to the photographs I take and the material I photograph.

Copyright on art gets more interesting / fuzzier. The key part is substantial similarity - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substantial_similarity and https://www.photoattorney.com/copyright-infringement-for-sub...

Rather than text, my AI copyright hypothetical... consider a model created based on sunset photographs. You take a regular photograph, pass it through the model, and it transforms it into a sunset. The model was trained on copyrighted works but the model is considered fair use.

Now, I go and take a photograph from some location during the day and then pass it through the transformer and get a sunset. Yea me! Unbeknownst to me, that location is a favorite location for photographers and there were sunsets from that location used in the training data. My photograph, transformed to look like a sunset is now similar to one of them in the training data.

Is my transformed photograph a derivative work of the one in the training data to which it bears similarity to? How would a judge feel about it? How does the photographer who's photograph was used in the training data feel?
So the fact that some ISPs are apparently untrustworthy is enough to blow up the whole thing which has worked pretty well for the past 30 years?

Right. In place of that, we get one central point of DNS censorship.

In the US, Mozilla is apparently putting users under the thumb of Cloudflare.[1]

I'd rather have a mode where regular DNS and centrally controlled DNS are compared, and you get a popup if they differ. That warns you of censorship attempts. But that doesn't seem to be an option.

> Clearly brokers are doing something or else people wouldn't pay for them.

They were, pre-internet. It actually made sense then in NYC with such complicated and massive amounts of inventory.

They don't make sense anymore. The only reason they still exist is because lazy landlords just want to stick with the system they've always known, because it feels "free" to them. In reality they get lower rents, but that's harder for them to see. And it's a problem of coordination -- as long as most other properties use brokers, you really don't have a reason to change.

The slow increase of no-fee listings has changed that. But it's still slow, and a lot of it is new buildings. It's hard to get landlords who have done things the same way for 40 years to change.
I own and maintain dingleberrypie.com and maintain it as a non-HTTPS site for exactly this reason.
