Coeur d'Alene, ID is about to go through this same thing.

Housing market ramped up values. Landlords are raising rents across the board. There was a recent local article where one rent was raising from $800/mo to $1400. One of the apartment buildings in town went from $1250/mo to $1400 for a 1bd apartment (had to help move my friend from there) and apparently a large portion of the people in the building are behind on rent.
When I went to rent a uhaul the lady said all her trucks have been pretty busy. All of their storage units are full of either people who are moving to town or people who have nowhere to go (her words).

The jobs which are unable to be filled local are the ones which were typically taken by the 18-30yr crowd. Even though they are paying considerably over minimum wage now there is still a massive shortage of workers (many restaurants are shutting down 1-2days a week due to lack of staff...particularly back of house staff).
McDonalds in town is paying $14/hr now to start...minimum wage is $7.25.
My pet theory is that the people who normally filled these jobs condensed their living expenses during covid. Moved back in with parents, moved into multi person dwellings. etc. but also even still they realize there is very little hope. If you make the average rate of pay in town $20/hr you can barely rent...and you need to make 3x that to even be considered for the "average house" in town.
From my viewpoint I do not see a solution. Either we have tent cities or everyone who speculated and bought in a bubble without paying any attention to what "rent the town can bear" is going to take a massive loss (50% at least).

My personal opinion is that this issue is largely caused by vacation rentals. It isn't that everyone is moving here (we have had that since the 70s) it is that everyone moving here is buying 2 houses and turning what was once affordable rentals into unregulated hotel rooms that cost $6k/mo. Idaho enacted laws in 2017 to prevent any area in the state from blocking vacation rentals in any way. Ketchum, Coeur d'Alene, Boise...are all seeing this issue.

The next big crash will come when the large portion of remote workers who moved here are asked to come back to the office. If they refuse they won't be able to find a comparable job anywhere in the area. What was once a "steal" and "so cheap" now becomes way out of their price range once they are required to find local work. Again, I don't have a solution. Just observing from the trenches.
A group who spoke English and Spanish, claimed to be the US Drug Enforcement Agency, had a US registered helicopter, killed the Haiti president...

The same guy pushing a change to the Haiti constitution that the US strongly opposed...

And the US has a history of getting rid of leaders it doesn't like...

Although US clandestine operations at least usually have some level of plausible deniability... Which this does not.
There are plenty of comments critical of the CCP like half the comments here. The difference is that they are actually relevant to the article, which has very little to do with Xi and has even less to do international law. This is probably why dang interpreted as flamebait.
Interesting book until 1/2 of the way through it finally drops the point of it: debt is slavery and exclusively exists to perpetuate this form of slavery.

Perhaps, but credit markets also provide critical benefit. 500 pages of such a singleminded dismissal of nuance was too much for me.

Well, the entire article presumes the security audit does not have conflict of interest and Everyone here presumes its state planted and activists are falsely imprisioned.

This article is nothing but a hit piece trying to capitilize on the death news of one of the 'activist' and trying to create a sympathy wave.

I am not presuming anything. I am just giving backstory on what goes on on the ground.
Anyone who claims to fight for tribals rights are either maoists or chritian missionaries.

One of the so called activist (who died last week) was a Jesuit priest.
It's not. VC is often a cut out for institutional investors who are also major shareholders in BigTech or are literally BigTech itself.

These kinds of laws are fundamentally political in nature, as there is no real 'neutral' ground.
That's brilliant: I would argue that since MS used code with GPL type of licenses to train the Co-Pilot algorithm it shall release the Co-pilot model in its entirety. The ones who differentiate data and code missed their classes on Gödelization and functional programming.

I wanted to include a link directly to it on the last post but couldn't find it after a few searches. I had originally read about it in the context of Tesla's automation failures (or, possibly, some of the issues around auto-pilot). It referenced a post-mortem style paper analysing the the failures and where GM failed to realize that factory automation is a "hard problem" back in the 80s.

I couldn't find the original paper that I read, but found an article with a myriad of links that explains the situation better (and will likely lead to a lot more) at https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/04/experts-say-tesla-has-r...
as someone who lived abroad but had a US based account i wanted to use to buy things with - "clever" moves like this were the bane of my existence.

Combine that with a bank that would freak out if you used the account from abroad it was often a multi-day operation to get a transaction to go through (between support calls to bank and merchant)

Though i guess a signal vs hard lock/logic.
Motion-detecting neurons in the visual cortex need to use timing; it would be a little weird for evolution to just use that mechanism once and not try it again.
I feel like most of these problems can be solved by increasing density and having fast transportation links. We are better off having Chinese ghost cities than low density superstar cities where the average worker has to commute hours thanks to a woke left fear of “gentrification”. Build, baby build.

As a non-American, that sounds pretty fucked.
The interaction is not the worse thing about npm audit. The security model of the tool has a big hole depending on how you use it: https://mulch.dev/blog/CVE-2020-5252-python-safety-vuln/

In essence, if you are scanning an environment that is already compromised, `npm audit` results can't be relied upon if you are running it in the same environment. It should be self-evident but I'm sure plenty of people use the tool this way.
Trump announces suits against Facebook, Twitter and Google; alleges censorship
> I’m not even trying to argue that uniswap is not useful or an improvement.

Sorry, I misread what you wrote, then.

> Instead I’m pointing out that when we compare defi protocols to the traditional system, the core services are largely the same.

Sure, I don't disagree. Why reinvent the wheel if it has already been invented? But... just because the wheel has already been invented, doesn't mean that inventing a "tire" is not novel (because a tire is just a fancy wheel, after all, no?).

My point: in many ways, defi is replicating "service-types" that already existed in the traditional financial system (as you say); on the other hand, it is not replicating the exact same services (note: my bank does not allow me to borrow BTC from them) and in the same exact way.

In a nutshell, defi is a "copy" of the traditional financial system the same way that "a tire is a copy of a wheel" (i.e. they are clearly not the same thing, and a tire is an innovation over a wheel, but they can also be thought as being "more or less the same thing", since they both are used to make cars move).

> Defi is an attempt to allow anyone to participate in the roles which are usually accessible only for institutions.

More than that. Even an institution cannot convince a bank to give them a USD loan using BTC as collateral.

> That doesn’t mean those roles are just now being invented by uniswap/aave/whatever.

Agreed. The same way that, when Dunlop and Goodyear invented tires, they did not try to claim that they had invented wheels. I am not sure you'll find anyone trying to argue that (e.g. that AAVE invented "loaning against a collateral").

> Unrelated Opinion: defi’s practical utility comes from circumventing regulation and adding leverage to a crypto position. (Eg no KYC, selling AAPL tokens, borrow tether against an ETH position to buy more ETH)

Not necessarily just that. Even if I have no problems with any regulation that needs circumventing (i.e. I'm not doing anything illegal), and have no need to borrow crypto-assets, the traditional financial system (currently) provides no way to lend crypto-assets. If, for some reason, you have 100 ETH, you're going to use Uniswap et al., and not the traditional financial system (since that's not even an option, currently).
As a non-american, sounds accurate to me.
yup! signs are one component of information that a self driving car needs to operate in an uncontrolled space.

Even for a human, city/uncontrolled driving is hard mode.

A self-driving car needs to read human body language...people do it all the time while driving. Is that driver looking at their phone? is that homeless person going to do something aggressive or are they just pan handling?
Also unavailable in Mexico, so, not just a GDPR thing. Absurd nonsense all around for a Youtube news piece on the internet.
I have three kids, but find it more funny than maddening when I hear this. We've all been there: as teenagers, young technologists, pre-parents. Plans are simple; reality is messy.

Parenting is about picking and choosing your battles, trying to get the fundamentals right and conceding the minor losses. You do your best and adapt along the way; any master plan will inevitably get the details wrong.
Mexico and Central America are not South America.
It’s clearly safer to leave a group of kids in the car with the air conditioning running while they are on their iPads for seven minutes then it is to bring them all through parking lots, regardless of how the media has distorted the risk of this situation ( Extreme cases are usually the result of drug addiction).

Totally not trolling, just pushing back against media misinformation.
I always wonder, if there had never been a trans-Atlantic slave trade, would modern opinion in the West be that slavery is perfectly fine?

After all, the West still doesn't really care about slavery - there's more slaves today than ever in history. They also do not care about benefitting from slave labour or they would boycott the top countries in the Global Slavery Index: https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/2018/data/maps/#prevalenc... Slavery continues to be a thriving industry in Africa and the Middle East for example, and for the most part concern about this only comes from a few Western NGOs.

It largely seems to be a matter that at some point became politically useful in the US and elsewhere, rather than an actual concern. I wonder if it will ever stop being in political vogue.
who said indian government planted it ?
What if the defendent created a trail of planting to exonerate his/her self.

Do you think faking a digital evidence is hard ?
The purchasing power of social security benefits has been going down for many, many years. I predict it will continue to go down and become more means tested as the proportion of working to not working population goes down.

I assume social security will just be a nice bonus if I get it in the 2050s.
FWIW, based on https://www.fda.gov/patients/fast-track-breakthrough-therapy..., the "Accelerated Approval Program" appears to be designed for cases where the clinical benefit hasn't been proven, but the effect of the drug on appropriate markers has been.

Here's a specific example from the link above:
>"Using surrogate or intermediate clinical endpoints can save valuable time in the drug approval process. For example, instead of having to wait to learn if a drug actually extends survival for cancer patients, the FDA may approve a drug based on evidence that the drug shrinks tumors, because tumor shrinkage is considered reasonably likely to predict a real clinical benefit. In this example, an approval based upon tumor shrinkage can occur far sooner than waiting to learn whether patients actually lived longer. The drug company will still need to conduct studies to confirm that tumor shrinkage actually predicts that patients will live longer. These studies are known as phase 4 confirmatory trials."

I think the shady bit is that this probably wasn't an appropriate use of that pathway, and that the FDA wasn't acting in good faith.
The book is awful. I said it in another response, but it’s basically a narrative looking for evidence with a mix of anthropology.
Could this stored data be at all responsible for the sometimes huge “other” category in the storage consumption? Or can it only store small bits of data?

I’ve seen reports that wiping and restoring your phone from backup is the only way to get rid of this cruft so I wonder if it’s related.
Slavery and forced labor are not necessarily the same thing; thought the former usually implies the latter.

Being forced to work 8-12 hours a day, but free to go about your business the rest of the time is a very different scenario to being owned and having your offspring becoming another persons property.

Chattel slavery goes way beyond forced labor - both are terrible, but not equally so.
I think iphone owners on here understand what apple intends for their devices, but simply like the alternatives less. So they try and hack around the restrictions placed on their iphones.
From 61 studies on Ivermectin you cherrypicked one of the 5 with a negative effect:

Ah yes, the popular field of finding convoluted ways to blame Europeans for all the failures and atrocious dystopias created by non-whites.
Agreed. And TB arguably could have supported hardware-backed key storage—but no implementations I am aware of did this.

My point was only that lamenting the demise of TB as implemented is a bit overdramatic. Lamenting the demise of TB as (perhaps) dreamed about—yeah, I buy that.
That sounds correct. That's what I was taught in school as an American. What is your point?
You can’t, but in effect it’s kind of like a Node2nix https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix#node2nix
Beautifully succinct. This quote: "Grey-hat hackers are rewarded based on the number and severity of CVEs that they write. This results in a proliferation of CVEs that have minor impact, or no impact at all, but which make exaggerated impact claims." Alignment of incentives is messed up. Goodhart-Strathern's and Campbell's laws apply.
ha! one of my favorite books...just made a slide for a workshop to help engineering academics understand the difference between legible and legitimate.
According to the game's about page[1], the model is based on the paper Inferring the effectiveness of government interventions
against COVID-19[2]. The maximal lockdown is the combination of all the interventions studied in that paper: limit gatherings to 10 people, close all non-essential businesses, close schools, close universities, and order everyone to stay at home. The only thing more restrictive would be to put everyone under house arrest, which is simply not possible outside of an authoritarian dictatorship.

Moreover, law enforcement isn't perfect at enforcing laws. If you lock down too much for too long, more and more people will ignore the rules. Eventually people will start to protest and rebel. If the government persists, leadership will be removed through impeachment or other methods.

This game (and many other data sources) are discussed in the Astral Codex Ten post Lockdown Effectiveness: Much More Than You Wanted To Know.[3]

fairness matters. Especially as this is a shared planet. Rich people should not be able to monopolize it, nor monopolize political power, have better criminal justice, be treated as better people, and then leverage this monopoly to make people work for them for the lowest possible wage and extract all the value from that labor as "their" profit.

What if one argued that some enslaved people in 1850 Georgia were better fed than before they were kidnapped from Africa. All ok then?

And why should rich people complain if there were a revolution and they were relegated to the middle class? The middle class of 2021 live longer and have better healthcare than the kings of even 100 years ago. What rights does anyone have to anything? By what reason doed anyone have a claim to injustice?
annoying, but one of the benefits of chromebooks is the account isolation. I prefer this to the idea of my domain-controlled policies being blended with those of the school district.
> It makes beginners miserable

Can we please tell beginners not to start programming with node.js?

Teaching beginners to start with “go-to” technologies became industry standard already as it helps corporations to become more and more monopolist and dictate new industry standards.
That doesn't seem right to me. In both cases you have a model and are just searching for optimal parameters considering the bias/variance tradeoff. There may be a few instances of a neural network or other ML model being set up to dynamically change it's architecture during training but that seems to me like it would not work out well at all.

If anything in specific cases the statistical model (if Bayesian) is more comprehensive in that it doesn't try to find a point estimate of the parameters but instead forms a full distribution around the plausibility of the parameters.

So, so dumb.
I think marginal unit costs should not be allowed to be higher than the sale price in general, with maybe some exception (liquidation of existing stock with no further production or explicit temporary promotions).

For example a company like Uber should not be allowed to sell rides for less than what they pay the driver for the ride.

Leaks are not even my main concern. I don’t want anyone spying on me, even if they’re really conscientious about data protection.
Second this. Signal had some momentum with some of my contacts, but unfortunately i think they're all back on whatsapp.
But it's also not just exchange rate. Other things come into consideration like local cost difference, PPP and so on. You can't expect a coke to cost the same (relative to USD) in the US as in Azerbaijan for example.
>I find it humorous how the same people who say the 2nd Amendment is useless because the US has tanks and nuclear bombs simultaneously believe that we were ->this<- close to having the government overthrown on January 6th without a single shot fired.

No kidding!
Also all the handwringing over US citizens being in the people's house (ooh, the hubris!) when the same are utterly silent on the "summer of love" and mostly peaceful protests - give me a break.
FWIW it does not work on (mobile) Firefox for me either.
Acts of war, like military bombings during a conflict, are obviously not on the same level as genocide. There's a very crucial difference and I invite readers to look up what 'genocide' means.

This is an off-topic diversion in this discussion, though.

I think it's important to call things out and to see history for the complex mess it is instead of trying to divide everything and everyone between heroes beyond reproach and unredeemable villains.

Yes, the black slaves were treated barbarously, and yes they committed genocide against the white population after they gained their freedom. That's what happened. We can look for explanations but I think we should avoid trying to look for excuses because once we start to label some genocides less wrong than others, or even acceptable to the point of defending them then we've crossed a major red line.

Shockingly it looks like that red line has been crossed in this thread.
It is nice to see practical application of dependently typed language!
Firmly agree and I keep the book on my shelf as a lesson that with funding, credentials, and details anything can get published.
It was less an assassination and more the beginning of a full genocide (a specifically French genocide, not against whites in general) around the country.

Dessalines went around the county killing all (fully white) French males. A lot of powerful Haitians opposed this, especially those of mixed racial background who had white family. The crimes that followed were really pushed forward by Dessalines the man, not the Haitian people in general.

Transatlantic slavery was incredibly cruel, but persecution by "the French" doesn't excuse a genocide of all French people on the island. Ironically, the people most responsible for the crimes against enslaved Africans (the "grand blanc") were largely back in France and so escaped personal harm.

Debt to scale up is one thing; operating for years operating/selling at a loss leading to ever increasing debt to choke out competitors and maintain a monopoly, fueling it with the expectation of a market valuation that will offset those losses, itself fueled by choking out those competitors, and all reliant on either getting out before it comes crashing down, or jacking up prices to profitable levels once there are no competitors left, is something else.
Vue is an SPA framework, so it solves the problem by "rendering all the html" as actual preprocessing and then serving it to the browser which visually renders it, as opposed to the usual document.onLoad() approach where the base page gets loaded and then the javascript actually postprocesses this iteratively updating the DOM which triggers re-rendering events. I am not savvy to the precise details of vue and browser lifecycle events, but I think effectively it builds a shadow DOM and then triggers a single rendering event to avoid the jumping around. But yeah, a single rendering vs multiple renderings.

Getting the client javascript to render the entire page has a variety of problems, hence my desire to server side render (during a build step) what is essentially static content. If the page size bloats up too much though I might need to reconsider the approach...

I guess web components (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components) could allow me to combine these approaches. It is already quite close to the vue programming model.
