I'd be surprised if this a profitable strategy.

Eviction timelines in CA under best of case circumstances are measured in months. That starts usually well after someone has fallen behind on their rent.

So you are 4-5 months out on rental income minimum.

And even in a reasonably well kept place by tenants (not common) you are going to be doing repairs / new carpet / new paint etc. Then the showings / applications / screening cycle begins again.

In CA deposits even earn interest.

So this claim, that landlords like renting to bad tenants so they can go through the CA eviction process when the tenants stops paying and damages the place to make money by maybe getting a contractor to inflate some kind of repair that they think they can get away with - is a real stretch.

In most evictions the default in rent alone will eat up most or all of the deposit. Landlords just wish they could get tenants out faster so the deposit would cover more of what is ultimately owed in these cases. There is not tons of extra deposit money floating around here.
Maybe so, but other platforms (Instagram, Vine, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) pitch themselves as the exact same product.
It should be considered odd that a paper which is so extensive in featuring and promoting social justice (particularly on race) behaves like this. That is until you look at Amazon and other organizations, and realize that they use race essentialism to side-step and distract from class oriented issues like unions.

One requires relatively cheap, token demonstrations of fealty. The other requires paying your employees fairly. They pick the former, and everyone just nods along.

If you haven’t been a manager yet I would highly recommend doing it in the company you’re currently in.

Try to make sure you understand the difference between a senior technical role and a manager, I received promotions and took them without thinking much about the consequences- it’s an opportunity to think about what role and career path you would prefer, and those big decisions don’t appear all the time.

Think about how the manager role operates in your company as companies differ e.g. company A the manager may be completely off the tools and company B they may still do technical work here and there.

To go the management route you’ve got to really want to help others, and be their buffer from the rest of the leadership and wider org that want to bombard them with too much work and bad requests.
I would have to disagree with you about the anti-queer slant. Maye it's what I've tuned the algorithm to, but I see far, far, far more queer and people of color on TikTok than any media form I have previously encountered.
Congrats on the (hopeful) windfall!
Not many but I’m not the one who proposed an automatic watch for this situation.
You have to use it a bit and interact with it to find the content you like. My guess is that people who like it have done this and people that don't haven't yet found their niche.
You're making some massive assumptions here.

Exposing your router's admin page to the internet is not good security practice. These routers are protected by nothing but a password, and I couldn't see anything in the manual that enforces password length/complexity. So while the password might be non-default, it could still be incredibly insecure.

Also, to expose these routers to the internet, all it takes is a single checkbox to enable "Remote management". So your assumption that these have all been deliberately placed on the internet also doesn't hold up because I can definitely see a curious home user playing with these settings without realising the impact of this. There have been tons of similar reports in the past where home users have exposed things to the internet without realising the impact.
It's not like buying hardware, support personnel hours and write-off administration is that much cheaper, unless you're willing to discard some features, but at that point you're no longer comparing things equally.
> Even if it could explain its answers, there would just be too many moving parts to keep in your head at once.

While this is possible in practice, consider the (universal) Turing machine principle: in principle, you can simulate any system given enough memory; we may not have it our brains, but we have pen and paper or simply digital text scratchpad (both of which we use extensively in our lives).
Yeah, it isn't really comparable to Facebook or Reddit or Youtube. They really do different things. TikTok seems most optimized for the passive receiver of vapid content use case. You can actually do exactly that with reddit if you browse without logging in and never click a comment thread. The top 1% (and bottom 1%) of interesting TikToks end up on Reddit anyway. Facebook/Insta are explicitly about your life and the lives of your acquaintances. TikTok seems more like competition for Netflix really.
> but it devolves to a taxi rate with a taxi wait, just done over an app.

What's a "taxi wait"? Do people routinely wait longer for taxis than for Ubers? is that because of a lack of taxis there?
they mention in the demo video that the inspiration for codex came from GPT-3 users training it to respond to queries with code samples. I saw some pretty impressive demos of the original model creating SQL queries from plain questions. I'm not sure if that counts as switching domains, but it's something?
I didn't color survey the renders, but the first picture at the top of the page has a non-white person front and center.
I'd hope you don't even see that. Your ISP shouldn't be exposing that to the internet by default, either. Ideally you get connection refused or an eventual timeout.
Ok, I'm replying a second time because I kept being downvoted. I guess my first answer is not clear enough.

The article doesn't address these points. It mentions both facts as an exemple of invasions like if they were footnotes. That's four hundred years of history, more than the whole USA history. So yes, it does indeed conveniently forget them. Both periods had a significant impact on China which the article sweeps under the rug because it would go against the wrong story it is trying to sell.
A single block order taking out $100M of liquidity could move markets but it's not a priori that big. Bitmex has $1-2B of daily trade volume (per nomics) even after all of the controversy, Binance has $50B and FTX has $11.5B.
There was a whole lot of some combination of self-delusion and grift going on around self-driving and not just with respect to Uber. Even if you made some very optimistic assumptions around the tech, I'm not sure it ever moved the cost needle as much as people assuming it made taxi rides almost too cheap to meter thought it would.
> it was impossible to get a cab to come to my house. I would call and they just would never show up. I started calling and ordering multiple cabs in a shotgun approach to getting a cab.

This was my experience in New Orleans as well. The taxis simply didn't service non-tourist areas.

Some friends and I had some fun while playing video games and barbecuing by calling 5-6 of the largest taxi services every 30 minutes for 6 hours. 50+ requests, not a single taxi showed up that day. Most said "the driver went there but no one came to the car". We were in the front yard most of the time.

Also, you should note the memory and capabilities required to reach a conclusion might be much greater than to show it's true. Showing a needle may be easy, finding it in the haystack very hard. In this sense the hope for explainability is expanded. But still, I guess the real world is really messy "the full explanation" may be too large -- like when you explain a human intuition, the "full explanation" might have been your entire brain, your entire set of experiences up to that point; yet we can give partial explanations that should be satisfactory

A have a hypothesis that inevitably, reasoning needs to 'funnel' through explicit, logical representations (like we do with mathematics, language, etc.) to occur effectively. Or at least (quasi-)formalization is an important element of reasoning. This formal subset can be communicated.

$100m is peanuts in crypto now.

A Chinese defi site just got hacked for $600m today.
Looks like a novel way to share content to me. Usability can be improved but I feel you have nailed the UI/UX for a MVP. Features can be added but you need to launch quickly rather than cook it for too long without exposing to the real world. I love how you can create "stories" - a series of posts - pinning them to certain locations. It's an interesting way of creating a certain narrative for a road trip for example.

Congrats and great work!
> Are VPN's, secondary networks, etc reasonable to expect for a $100 MSRP device targeted at consumers?

If they are, great. If not, then consumer-grade router admin interfaces should not be exposed to the public internet, ever.
Facebook (and YouTube) are at peak awareness and penetration and now moving along the maturity model to squeeze more and more revenue from the audience they have. It will 1000% percent happen to TikTok and probably way faster than the others.
Never been a TikTok or Facebook user, although I had installed both apps a while ago and deleted within a day. Maybe I missed something interesting but I'm sure it's trivial and would forget soon. But I'll buy TikTok stock if available since it's likely very profitable like FB.
>On the other hand, how do teach someone handwriting skills? Writing down a passage is better than random blabery IMO

I agree, however, doing it way past elementary school seems like a solid way of wasting time. When you are trying to learn writing or you are in elementary school, sure. But spending hours upon hours rewriting long passages multiple times due to random non-editable typos in late middle school felt mind-numbing and downright awful.

And of course, as you progressed in grades, less attention of graders was focused on the actual handwriting quality, with passages getting longer and more convoluted, so the handwriting tended to degrade the further you got in your elementary/middle/high school education. Not even mentioning what happened to it after high school, because by then (unless your handwriting was completely unreadable) no one cared.

And no, it didn't help in the long-term with handwriting at all. None of the adults tend to have textbook-good handwriting, it would barely even get a passing score in the best scenario (and that would be an exception). And just like in western countries, let's not even mention doctors' handwriting (but that's completely irrelevant to my point).
I didn't remember the site, but the other day I saw one of this deceptive cookie banners that tries to trick you to accept all cookies and make you do many steps to reject.

I noticed that the banner was made by "One Trust", and if you go to One Trust site, the examples showed are not deceptive at all [1], all the examples have a clear "Reject all"/"Accept all" buttons.

One Trust marketing page is hiding that has deceptive designs built in.

I guess the OP can make GDPR complaints to One Trust and services like that, and fix in bulk the sites that are using those services (or make it lose clients and shut down).

I'd still expect valuable employees to flock to population centers (e.g. for education), you want to remain competitive in those areas.
Honestly, I see a stronger argument for teaching programming like a basic subject, alongside english and math, even if the student has no intention of ever using it. As in everyone really should learn to code, regardless of what it does to the job market. There's a lot of really simple concepts that translate well into real life.

Unity can always cross-sell their services

from the press release

"Parsec has become a go-to solution for hybrid work models among gaming companies such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft and Square Enix and is integrated in many of the industry verticals where Unity sells solutions, including media and entertainment, architecture and design, and more. Together, Unity sees an opportunity to drive shared momentum with these customers through targeted cross-selling and bundled solutions."
In general trying to create a vacuum airship is a loosing game because you have to add so much support to prevent it from collapsing that you can't win the race between volume and weight to achieve buoyancy. The thinner atmosphere is a bonus to decreasing the force for a given volume but you simultaneously have to increase the size of the 'balloon' since it's displacing less air for every unit of volume so it has to get bigger which increases the surface area further.

Doing some quick math using the ideal shape of a sphere: Mars surface atmosphere is ~1/60th as dense as the Earth's so you'll wind up with 23x the surface area which at the reduced surface pressures of mars you'd be looking at around 15% of the total forces you'd have to resist. For a sphere that might just push it into the realm of possible options but to get to a 'pure' vacuum you need very fancy and heavy pumps that need cryogenic cooling beyond the difficulty of doing this with an actual blimp shape.

TypeScript support is Deno's main selling point for many people. That was the headlining feature, that's the first thing most people know about it, and I think that's the only reason it's gotten significant traction. The other stuff has value, but it's a huge thing to ask an entire ecosystem to pack up shop and move. You have to offer more than just incremental improvements to performance, tooling, and permissions-management. You have to offer a paradigm-shift. I think Deno would be dead in the water if it didn't offer TypeScript as a first-class citizen, despite all the other ways it improves on Node.

As for the type system itself: it is bolted on, yes, and I don't think that's a weakness. Flow tried to be a JS type system that wasn't bolted-on, and it was horrible to use because it was constantly fighting against the base language and all of its idioms. TypeScript is empathetic to JavaScript programmers: it knows things will never be perfect, so it gives you the tools to make them really quite good but gets out of your way when it reaches its limits. I think this is a wonderful thing and a huge driver of its success.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Let me rephrase your question: can they sell three thousand more enterprise license seats by bundling this in? Because they’ll have made it back in a couple of years if they do.
If you want a material example, the raspberry pi's SOC is designed to be mounted in read only mode with industrial on-board flash. It is meant to be used with the broadcom toolkit that includes multiple boot partitions for safe and validated updates.

In addition, (afaik) that SDK includes a hardened and stripped down linux kernel with watchdog, chain of trust and binary signature verification - a far cry from the raspberry pi's kinda "open like whatever" standard desktop and server grade distro.

A material consequence of this is that raspberry pis (pre 4, at least) that lose power during a SD write have had a common tendency to leave the flash in a really bad state, rendering the device unusable until a reflash happens.

The compute model suffers from all of this. I use the compute modules for lighting and other fun such activities, at art and music festivals. I have gotten used to carrying spare SD cards (for non compute) and a laptop with flash snapshots (for CMs). More than once, a breaker has blown and the compute module wouldn't come up after due to a trashed filesystem.

I will admit, the CMs are wayyy more robust than the normal ones, due to whatever emmc they're using. I could probably mount the flash as RO also but that tends to cause "weird things" to happen. If I have to flash a CM once in a weekend, that's a small price to play

> What's the difference between a prototyping board and a product built using the lessons learned while integrating the prototyping board?

The difference is that the lessons learned likely won't cover the large amount of pitfalls you'd encounter in the field, but those pitfalls still exist.

TLDR: Raspberry pi doesn't include a hardened sdk and distro intended for robust, embedded applications.
He gives a comparison estimate that each Saturn V cost about 10^8 each. Per quick Google search actual cost in 1970s dollars was $185m which is $1.15b today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V#Cost
(important, but unrelated to rest of computation fact is that this cost was amortized over 35 flights)

10^11 is 1000 * 10^8, applying same inflation to 10^11 we get $1.15t. To put this number in a context, Iraq war is estimated to have long term cost of $1.1tn to $1.92tn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_cost_of_the_Iraq_War

Some of these routers can be crazy insecure. Just some fun from my own experience: before I got mine switched into bridge mode by my ISP I managed to disable the wifi on it despite the ISP blocking that functionality. How? By removing the disabled attribute from the select element via the devtools. I also know a friend who found his password in plaintext in a script tag in his router’s login page. I understand that nothing is absolutely secure but this is just tempting fate.
I think that's what the parent is referring to (from the wikipedia page they are in L1). Of course that does require the active orbital stabilization also described (though not as around L1). Being closer to the sun is a big advantage, but also impulse heavy to get there.

Perhaps an initial lift up to an unshadowed low earth orbit could boot strap a solar ion/sail to get them to L1?
Are you serious? How do you think the clay pot ended up being recovered by an archeologist? There's pretty much two ways...

You should look up some TikTok creators from Egypt, there is plenty of great stuff out there.

The basic premise of your argument as I understand it is that art is something you see in museums or art is something that has been gated by age or by scholars or by "cultural significance". This is not how art works, some great works were discovered long after the artist had died. TikTok creators create art, some of it good, some of it bad, but it's art all the same.
I'm not convinced the gig economy taxi service can't scale--without depending on too many drivers who don't understand their costs. But it's not going to be cheaper than the alternatives, driver networks may not be much larger, and a lot of operations (including engineering) are probably going to be mostly outsourced to low cost areas.
Where I live, the ubiquitous variant is attached to the faucet on your washbasin, so you get to set any temperature you want. (Most lavatories have the washbasin close enough to the throne that you only need to lean forward a bit; can get awkward in handicap toilets though.)
> Step 2 forces the default password to be changed. There is no way around that step.

Sure, and you can change that password to "foobar" or whatever bad password you want. And I bet that login page doesn't have any rate limiting or a lockout after too many failed logins.

Fortunately, though, I don't think there are any of these that enable remote admin by default, so the owner would need to do that explicitly. Hopefully they've paired that with a strong password. Even then, I still wouldn't advise anyone actually doing this...

When Teamviewer was at its peak it was worth at least $100m, now I'm not so sure it got displaced by other competitors probably.

Edit: Somehow they got $460m revenue. Voila for Remote Desktop app. I would never thought they can make half a billion of dollars in revenue.
I'm not sure about the allegations, but this certainly does not match my experience -- I have seen an incredibly diverse set of people in my FYP feed.

(I wish YouTube had content discovery like TikTok -- YouTube seems to always want to steer me to either something that's an exact clone of the last thing I watched, or something that's just dumb and super-popular. TikTok is amazing at ferreting out all kinds of veins of interest. It's great.)
the joke would be that you should claim that the actually empty warehouse burn down full, to claim insurance on the content, right?

that reminds me of a rumor that I heard about the Atlantic Conveyor (UK merchant ship carrying military equipment sunk during the Falklands War): many military units claimed their equipment was on the ship (and thus lost), presumably to get replacements, that in the end the ship was supposed to carrying more supplies than its capacity

This is a hallmark of neoliberalism. Progress stops at representation (at most) and never goes as far as equity.
The concern is exactly that such evidence might be much harder to find for TikTok. Cambridge Analytica's clients included multiple prominent American politicians, including the sitting president at the time the scandal broke. China would try their hardest to stop a scandal involving Xi Jinping from breaking in the first place, and certainly the People's Congress wouldn't demand a public investigation as the US Congress did.
My personal take is that there is no real legitimate interest here and these companies are just testing to see how far they can push this.
Idk if the developer should have to account for those services. I think that's more of the role of local government. And I'm not complaining, just hoping that some things get built. I was fully aware of the lack of services when I moved in, and others should be as well.
