If evictions didn’t take 3-6 months minimum in NYC (even pre-COVID), landlords could afford to be a lot less picky about who they rent to. Brokers or other middlemen also benefit the landlord by keeping the landlord at arms length from tenant selection and therefore possible discrimination lawsuits.

The last Bitcoin bubble popped six months after a taxi driver was telling me about how he just bought some crypto. It reminded me of the shoeshine boy anecdote.
It would be quite impressive if this was a long-time planned "Embrace, extend, extinguish" move against Copyleft, with a casual acquisition of Github to make it work.

Finally, it beat the "cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches" after all those years, with its own tools!

> Is it absurd? Do they understand? Can you show me how you know this?

It is absurd, they do understand, and I know it because I'm a native English speaker and I've never been in a conversation where anyone was confused by the term nor even in which someone bothered to clarify that they didn't mean to imply a hierarchy. I'm sure you're going to understand that this is satisfactory evidence and not resort to some sort of "BuT Do YoU kNoW eVeRy SiNgLe PeRsOn On ThE PlAnEt?!" nonsense.

> Sorry, I can see where I was unclear. I was referring to Africa.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. That makes sense.
Apartment hunting is the most inefficient "purchasing" decision I have ever had to make, and the one most likely to end up with a severely sub-optimal outcome. There's some good ideas here that would at least facilitate efficiently viewing more apartments. But there's still so much extremely basic information that potential renters either cannot get about a unit or have to jump through hoops to get. Noise issues, pest issues, construction and renovation details, information about how the management company operates, light levels, info about neighbors and on and on. Ninety percent of the important information about a rental unit isn't discovered until the weeks and months after a lease has been signed, and I am desperate for someone to fix this problem.
Interesting thoughts. Some back for you from an ex smoker:
I'm not entirely sure that the feeling would be described as amazing. When smoking Cigarettes I'd get a mild "buzz" nothing so strong as cannabis or alcohol in its effects, but noticeable. Probably something akin in strength to a strong coffee. I was unable to replicate that 'buzz' with a vape pen that I used while attempting to give up. However, I have to draw a difference between that feeling of buzz from the direct chemical effects from the feeling of relief of having your addiction fulfilled. The latter maybe the more extreme, the craving of nicotine is a near constant building tension that is released with that next cigarette.

Apart from yourself others have noted the meditative aspects of cigarette smoking. Beside the chemical addition aspect when giving up smoking you're losing a ritualistic break where you can spend a few minutes away from what you're currently doing, usually alone, to do a deep breathing exercise. This ritual is often a contributor to the difficulties in giving up.
Seems like the DHCPACK message and/or router advertisement could/should have a reference to the URI that has policy/billing form that's required to utilize a gateway. That way we don't need a special magical service that expects to be redirected to the policy form. AFAICT each OS/distro seems to solve this their own way currently, with their own service.

Does any such standard feature already exist?
The name ”Stellantis” isn’t well-known anywhere because it’s so new.

I know it’s the name of a recent merger between conglomerates, but wouldn’t know which ones.

So, let’s look in Wikipedia. It (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellantis) tells me it’s a Dutch car manufacturer (I guess for tax reasons) that resulted from a merger between Fiat-Chrysler and PSA Group.

PSA, I guess, isn’t well-known anywhere either. I know it’s the name of a slightly less recent merger between conglomerates, but wouldn’t know which ones.

Again, Wikipedia to the rescue. It (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSA_Group) mentions Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall. DS apparently was split of from Citroen in 2009 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DS_Automobiles)

Fiat-Chrysler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles), unsurprisingly, was Fiat+Chrysler, but also some smaller brands such as Dodge, Jeep and Maserati.

So, there’s a lot of recent consolidation on the industry. Stellantis has about 300,000 employees and has about a quarter of the market for passenger cars in Europe.

These seem like reasonable uses of this technology. My ISP has tried to inject a copyright violation notice before. (This was hilarious, actually, because it went to a guest in my house's browser, not one of mine, and I almost didn't hear about it at all, because they only sent it that way once... and I had to ask them to send me an actual letter about it with the details, which would've been the straightforward way to tell me in the first place...) Irritations with copyright holders aside, that was a notification of a mark against my account, which is arguably information that needed to be delivered to me.

Meanwhile, Google is preserving their ability to send phishing sites unimpeded.
You should care about how much you pay the contractor and the quality of work you get in response. That's your only contract with them. Same for a developer.

> You don't want someone showing up who just views your garage primarily as an opportunity to learn about this new construction material they've heard about that doesn't help you.

That's a terrible analogy. Most of the time developers aren't writing greenfield projects, meaning they don't choose the stack. Devs have the leverage to choose by accepting jobs that use the stack we know (or want to know).

As to contractors, if you had already started building a garage with a new construction material, you probably would really want to hire people who were experienced in it. If you couldn't find them, you might want people who were interested in learning to use it.

If you want passion and motivation, consider hiring an actor or prostitute. I'm going to stick with my usual plan of "write good code in exchange for good money".
I feel you too are playing a game of toxic excuse making by dodging the math of a declining female population in a country that should be held accountable to the birthing practices it enforced on the population for many years.

My current complex specified that I had to supply internet and some other things for their smart hub service, although that turned out to not be the case (it's not on my network and works), but it was really weird to have that clause but it not match reality because I was effectively signing a document saying I was responsible for it.

I hope it catches on so more companies make such phones and drive prices down.
It's actually a moderate pain to set up something that doesn't answer on port 443 unless you want to host it yourself. I tried with http://wifi.help, but it's at Cloudflare and I don't know of a way to block port 443 without paying for their WAF.
There is nothing intelligent about this. What they did is a context aware search and trying to claim that not what this is. If it was just used as a search engine and people weren’t using the results or following the license of the original source, then it would fine. There has been so much of a hype of machine learning people likely have a false impression of what it is.
I'm not against the free market. That's the problem with people like you. It's an either/or thing and you completely fail to see the nuance behind the issue. The free market is an example of a system with many upsides and many downsides. If I call out the many downsides you assume I'm against the free market.

Any normal person can literally see both. It's completely obvious that capitalism has upsides and downsides and currently the upsides out weigh the downsides. However normal people know that we have to keep the downsides in check.

The people who tend to be unaware of all of this are people how are rich because the policies that seek to temper the bad side of capitalism disproportionately effect rich people. That's the main issue with capitalism. Wealth is not distributed fairly, it concentrates in the hands of the few and those few using the money they gained use it to create lies about tobacco/oil and manipulate the public in ways a normal person never would. Hence policies are directed to temper the bad sides of capitalism; but it has limited affect because rich people themselves can influence public option and use their money to perpetuate policy in their favor as well.

How do men justify such evilness? Well of course he lies to himself saying he does no evil and that everything was a consumer choice. Hitler like all other evil men are unaware of how evil they are, these people need to rationalize their actions with excuses.

I'm willing to wager a second guess, in that whatever made you rationalize and justify the actions of Big Tobacco and Big Oil started in an action of your own doing that benefited you majorly. You needed to justify an action that you took of your own free will and that justification changed your view of the world such that it also validated the actions of Big Tobacco and Big Oil. That action or actions(s) is likely responsible for how well off you are today.

Whether the justification itself is valid is besides the point as our biases will likely never agree on that fact. But I'm sure we can agree that the event I mentioned above has happened to you, as no normal person supports this aspect of Big Tobacco or big oil, it literally takes some heavy introspection to reverse this logic and create an alternative world view.
Yep, that's a fair description. Note that I'm not providing a merge algorithm, just a pretty way of viewing changes.

I did look at modelling moves in an earlier prototype, but it's incredibly hard to display the result in a coherent way when there are also insertions. It was also easier to drop it when I moved to Dijkstra.

As you can see in the screenshot in the readme, it does support inserting tree nodes whilst preserving children, which covers a ton of cases.
That may be true, although even GitHub doesn't know for sure. But the problem remains: they're reproducing other people's code without regard to license status.
You are allowed to watch them. Many moves take ideas from other movies, which took ideas from myths and earlier stories. In fact, I find modern movies highly highly derivative.
I understand the point you're making but I don't think you understand the point I'm making. If it turns out vaping is a net positive for society then I will genuinely be happy that you were right and I was wrong.

Let's just agree to disagree.
I still have my original Interact computer which is not listed. The text on that is 5x5 pixel characters with 1 pixel in between, so 6x6 but the gap is not encoded in the font. Only upper case characters were supported. The font is not in a separate prom, it's in the main 2K eprom along with the tape read/write functions and some very simple keyboard scanning and pixel, box, and text rendering functions. I think a ROM dump exists somewhere online, so with the above description someone should be able to locate the character set easily enough. Probably the worst one you'll ever see.
Yes. HN obviously hate this.

This is a bit of a tangent, but finding reliable ratings for apartments is a complete quagmire. Many many apartments have extremely poor ratings, or boosted ratings that are not believable.

I wonder how much of this is due to the fact that a significant portion of rental situations end with a major conflict and even uneventful apartment living has some portion of minor conflict due to yearly rent increases.
I thought it was clear that I was opposed to moving away from phone numbers. Of course if the system that OP was talking about was almost completely identical to a fax experience, then what I am saying does not apply.

This is what the OP said:

> Sending the "fax" simply emails a PDF of the scanned pages over the internet and then prints the "fax" automatically?

Which, I read as implying that the user would have to enter something like an email address, to which I replied:

> Besides that, there is still no replacement for phone numbers. A phone number immediately returns if it is available to receive a transmission, and a fax on the other end confirms that it is set up, and you can be pretty sure that it isn't just going to languish in an unread mailbox somewhere. A phone number also takes more effort to set up, so will probably be treated better.

Of course, if an IT department mapped an POTS phone numbers to their mail server, and then had that email print out a pdf attachment on the other end, then yes, that would be fine.

But, actually this is done already in some places anyway. My old university had a system where incoming faxes were converted into emails and forwarded as email attachments, and I don't see why the IT dept could not have also configured it to automatically print out incoming emails, or even relay to an outgoing fax line.

But it does seem to me like a lot of trouble.

Why should you get an inflation busting interest rate if you're not prepared to accept some risk? That would literally be money for nothing.
We used this pre-COVID to get out of a Brooklyn lease and had a fantastic experience (back when it was Flip Instant). Flip basically charged 1 month rent and guaranteed a fill or they'd pay the rest (6 months) of my lease. Compared to our landlord who wanted 1.75x rent, up to 2.75x rent if not filled immediately, after significant negotiation. Hiring a broker myself would have likely cost 1x rent or more anyways with all the risk on us.

I really like the service provider + financial underwriting combination, where you get basically an SLA for them providing a service, where they take 100% of the risk after the fee.
Botswana is generally considered one of the best-run countries in Africa, along with the island nations (Cape Verde, Seychelles, and Mauritius) and the countries in North Africa (Morocco to Egypt). For example, it's 5th in Africa the Human Development Index (behind Mauritius, Seychelles, Algeria, and Tunisia--and ahead of South Africa). In GDP (PPP) per capita, it's 4th, behind Seychelles, Mauritius, and Equatorial Guinea.
> If and when they decide to deal with the problem I expect they’ll make a lot more progress than we have.

Sure. I will update my stance if or when the CCP decides to do something, especially if they shoot past everyone in reduced emissions.

I won't hold my breath though, unless I'm in Shanghai's smog.
I think it depends who you ask.

There are definitely people that want to go this far. They would like to see full schematics and part listings.

However I think most of the people don't need the specifications in "the preferred form for modification". They simply want to stop companies from taking steps against repairs. They don't necessarily want help doing the repairs, they just don't want to be thwarted. For example

- Outlaw contracts that forbid part manufacturers from selling parts to third parties.

- Outlaw "chip paring" features such as would give errors if you replaced a screen because it was the "wrong" screen.

- Remove restrictions on repair shops such as limits on number of parts and allowed types of repairs.
Platforms need to moderate content or it will be 90% spam.
> ...Should you be able to train with material you don't own?

If relating this to how humans learn, books and other sources are used to inform understanding and human knowledge. One can purchase or borrow a book without actually owning the copyright to it. Indeed, a given passage may be later quoted verbatim, provided it is accompanied with a reference to its source.

Otherwise, a verbatim use without attribution in authored context is considered plagiarism.

So, sure one can use a multitude of material for the training. Yet, once it gets to the use of the acquired "knowledge" - proper attribution is due for any "authentic enough" pieces.

What is authentic enough in this case is not easy to define, however.
Interesting first video. Albeit I have varied opinions on his ideas I appreciate someone (him especially) talking about the topic.
hm, it's a good question. I (personally) really like Yale devices, but I hate the touchscreens and would prefer something with physical key buttons. I'm also generally against locks that connect directly to wifi because the batteries run out so quickly. As far as the type of lock, mortise locks are so cool but super expensive and most U.S. homes would need to change their doors to have one. Maybe a level lock or a simple dead-bolt does the trick.

Well, you could; you just couldn't sell them. You could make them for private use, if you wanted.

Construction isn't a bad analogy. Imagine you're a contractor getting called in to finish a house that some incompetent jabroni started, then got out of their depth and got fired midway. Meanwhile the homeowner has changed their mind and wants an open-concept kitchen, and the building inspector has come back with objections to the wiring plan that need to be rectified.
I mean, I disagree with (some of) platforms' content removal, but I don't disagree with their legal right to do so.

If Twitter becomes a propaganda machine deleting any tweet it disagrees with, I think that's shitty and if I had an account I'd delete it to avoid participating, but I'm not sold on why the government should make that illegal.

People and private organizations currently have the right to propagandize in the U.S. (without explicitly calling for violent uprisings, etc). What's the major difference between Twitter moderating tweets and a privately-owned forum moderating comments?
A lease is a contract where you agree to pay throughout the entire term. That's evil?

Most municipalities at least in the USA also have tenant-friendly laws on that books that mandate either or both of:

a) landlords are disallowed from refusing reasonable sublease (e.g. one that passes the same credit check etc that you did)

b) landlords must release you from the remainder of a lease if you leave and a reasonably suitable replacement tenant is found

I think Peertube is "marketed" in the wrong way, perhaps inescapably. Making a simple video-hosting platform is going to invite comparisons to Youtube, but Frama is very clear they don't see themselves that way. Peertube is NOT an alternative to Youtube, and it can't be with the tiny team working on it.

However, it does have one edge-case use that's come up a few times. If you have a few bucks, moderate technical knowledge, and just need a way to put 20 or 30 videos online in a form that's easy to link to and navigate for the non-technical, Peertube can be a handy tool. In the past you might say "Why not Youtube?", but Youtube has become increasingly obnoxious to use for simple "throwaway" cases. What's the alternative? Tossing the files up on a shady site like Mega? Running an FTP server or hosting a torrent? Youtube used to be a no-brainer for something like this, but there are so many techno-bureaucratic gotchas now that an alternative just might be worth it. There's zero discoverability, no ad revenue, and you have to deal with hosting and security, but at least Peertube is a ready-made package that mostly "just works."
> GLS has scary privacy implications and you cannot uninstall it.

I have an Android without Google Location Services, the alternative location service is a Mozilla backend instead. I doubt that's much better for privacy and more likely stands out like a red flag to the Data Hoover collection agencies, but it is certainly possible to not use GLS.

I've only come across one small app that didn't play well with the Mozilla backend.
