> It depends on which catchment zone you live in, and even the schools that offer AP don't offer the same AP courses.

I grew up in Calgary. It was possible to apply to special programs outside of your catchment area, with a choice of multiple schools for some programs. Being admitted into a public IB program comes with the expense of a monthly bus pass, not the equivalent of several years of university tuition. I would be surprised if Vancouver is any different since out-of-area students are often the means of maintaining high enough enrolment to offer special programs ranging from academics to the trades.

Something that may have been a quirk of my home city: catchment area was not a hard-and-fast rule for middle school either. There were special programs one could apply to and, failing that, approaching the school's administration directly. Granted, for something like that the family must care enough to take the initiative. That may be in short supply in some areas, but it is by no means a measure of affluence.

> My point and rant about these is that it'll be a matter of time before all of these opportunities are also taken away. If they stay, I'll be pleasantly surprised and gladly admit I'm wrong.

There is also the possibility that you'll see the opportunities taken away, then be pleasantly surprised to see them return. The education system seems to go in cycles, based upon whatever the pedagogical fashions of the day are. Then again, I doubt that we will ever see the extreme of everything being taken away. People seem to like talking about things in extremes that don't truly exist.

You can install openWRT on their router and gain full access to their network.
I tend to agree.

Communities need to be built organically. Let's say a town has 5,000 buildings in it; is somebody going to pay an architecture firm to design 5,000 buildings for them? Or are they going to pay them to design 40 buildings and copy and paste 125 times?

Neighborhoods in the United States have a tendancy to look like shit, and that's because most of them are planned developments that were designed and constructed all at the same time. Each neighborhood is a snapshot in time of what "modern" "new" and "interesting" looked like some number of decades prior. IMHO the best thing about these houses is that they're not designed to last for 40 years. So 50 years from now after half of the houses are torn down and replaced with something different -- maybe worse, maybe better -- they have a chance of being nice.

If you compare Factorio to Cities:Skylines, the best and worst feature of Factorio is that it lets you copy-paste, and C:S doesn't.

> Purely from a visual standpoint I like the Big Sur redesign way more than I expected. It looks like it was made for dark mode, unlike previous versions where dark mode was kind of an add on. The whole material/translucency thing is really coming together.

Yeah, I actually like Big Sur more than I expected to, and it's the first version of macOS with a dark mode that I actually stuck with. Most of my quibbles stem from choosing minimalism over discoverability, e.g., hiding the document proxy icon, making all the keyboard shortcuts in menus grey because somebody clearly decided that looked prettier and more subtle rather, etc. But in practice, all the shirt-rending over how the excessive transparency would make everything unreadable and illegible just hasn't matched my experience.
According to a comment above, these routers require an admin password change when setup with no way around that.
Never.

VR will always be a niche platform - simulation immersion simply isn't as useful in the general case as external monitors, and even if issues with vertigo are solved, the VR gear will always be less convenient than the utility and ergonomics of a cellphone and laptop.

Most applications and games aren't significantly improved with the addition of VR. This can be improved but until it's as easy to use a PS controller in VR as out, it will by definition be more limited in terms of mechanics. Hand tracking is a nice gimmick, but a controller has a higher bandwidth. Also, the need for physical space to interact with the virtual environment makes VR a toy for elites.

The immersivity of VR will never be what it is in sci-fi. No matter how good the resolution is, that virtual walking tour through Tokyo or the Louvre will never be "like being there." It can maybe kind of sometimes be good enough, but there needs to be a lot more high quality free content available, like a social media platform just for VR video. Yes, this would just be 3DOF, but unlike a lot of people, I think 3DOF video has a lot of untapped potential and it's likely to remain the dominant form of VR simply because you can experience it while sitting in one place.

I think there is potential particularly in virtual social spaces like VR Chat (a VR MMO like FFXIV and VR driven V-Tubing might be fun) but the ergonomic issues would have to be worked out first. As a consumer (I have an Oculus Go, and a Rift) the size and cost of the gear need to come down a lot to be worth it for most consumers, and the quality of hand and eye tracking need to go up by orders of magnitude. As a developer who wants to work with VR, the development and deployment workflow needs to be easier.

Maybe it is easy if you know what you're doing. I don't know what I'm doing and I'm wondering where the Unity for VR is.
I'm interested if anyone can compare this to fires in CA / PNW, specifically the claim that forest mismanagement (eg "putting out every fire", logging restrictions allowing fuel buildup, etc) is a primary contributing factor to forest fires.

Is Siberia a useful counterfactual, where the typical criticisms are more along the lines of too much logging (deforestation) and not fighting fires in the wilderness?

Or are these environments just too different?
No, you're just missing the point of my argument with and arguing pedantics by insisting on a literal reading what I said.
Today I Learned (TIL) that some people hate sticky headers because they take up precious space on smaller screens (Author's Macbook Air) and can be distracting.

I’m not the OP, but I’ve seen Daybreak I think emphasis there is smaller single-family home lots, and lots of multi family buildings, all built within walking distances to amenities like restaurants, entertainment, grocery stores, clinics, the light railway station, etc. It kind of feels like a hybrid between large urban downtowns you might find in the US and elsewhere, and traditional American suburbs. Not remotely as dense or large scale as say NYC, but far more walkable and mixed use than standard suburban life.

I’m sure many non-Americans would fail to see what makes that unique, but for American neighborhoods it definitely is.

> a backend API call to access something, it checks it the callers token has the right permission.

Fine, but then that backend handler has permission itself to do whatever it is, regardless of whether or not the token does, since as you said, it COULD need it to service that request?

> I don’t want IAM to work that way. I don’t want to use IAM for this? It’s the wrong tool.

Doesn't zoning largely let you choose where private businesses go? Maybe you can't select exactly where to put the bank versus the grocery store, but you can select categories of businesses, to create the feel you want.

(I'm not sure whether zoning is a "good" thing or not in general, but there are certainly lots of successful towns and cities with zoning rules.)

I’m disagreeing with this specific claim:

> In CA you can only keep portion of deposit used for repairs, you can't use it to cover all your other overhead costs on a flip. So you are guaranteed to lose money on the flip relative to renting it.

I’m not endorsing the notion that there is a grand conspiracy to house and evict tenants to steal their security deposits. Just saying that landlords can and do opportunistically steal deposits, even in California. That can’t be the reason the grand conspiracy is impossible.
The comments on this thread remind me of `The Big Short` when Jared Vennett's team goes to Florida to conduct diligence on the raging real estate market of the late aughts ... and Jared realizes absolutely no one is participating in the market in a prudent and reasonable way.
Right.

There seems to be this mythos that embedded systems developers are the hallowed priests of high-quality software development and embedded systems as these robust combinations of specialty electronics that can withstand everything up to a nuke dropped nearby.

In truth, embedded systems engineers and the hardware they use/design have the same span of quality you'll find in most other types of software developments outside Safety Critical products.

I've seen some really dumb things done by people who should know better and on the flip side, some systems that I'd happily trust my life to. There's no magic.
I, similarly, work about 90% with Vue2 and 10% with React.

I have a different experience though. I generally find React pretty mysterious, with very confusingly named methods, and several generations of approaches that are completely different from each other. (React Hooks changes everything...)

I used to occasionally find situations in Vue where something wouldn't re-render, but that almost never happens anymore. The main culprits are when a component never gets mounted (because it's in a v-if), or expecting reactivity before it gets mounted.

I hate the clumsiness of React, the lack of "methods" and simple event handlers, the need to be overly verbose everywhere.

I almost never use Vuex, fwiw. I find both Redux and Vuex (which apes it) are an incredibly complicated solution to the problem, and wish there was something simpler.
All I'm going to say about Shodan is...

I don’t disagree with that analysis, but like I said different strokes for different folks. My personal view is government is the best tool we have to solve some collective problems such as natural disaster response(and the other more controversial ones like climate change and covid), but I realize that is anathema to the average techno-libertarian hackernews denizen. It’s probably a good thing people can self select into the society they want to live in by voting with their feet

I believe the amazing content and algorithm go hand in hand. It isn't like humanity suddenly became more creative in 2019. TikTok has two things going for it that I believe create a feedback loop.

First, their algorithm is good. Those same memes and ideas are on reddit, YouTube and even Facebook but often they are buried. TikTok algorithm manages to surface them extremely well, finding the right audience for the content with a much higher degree of success.

Second, the low barrier to entry for creating new content means that ideas iterate more quickly. If I see a funny YouTube video and I have an idea on how to expand or refine the idea, it is a bit of effort to create the content. By contrast, the extremely low production bar on TikTok means people can riff on ideas in near real-time. What starts off as an amusing seed of an idea can grow into a mind-blowing work of comedy genius over the course of thousands of videos within a week.

At each step these work together - good idea is surfaced by the algo, hundreds of works inspired by it get created, the best of those ideas are surfaced, hundreds of works are derived.

However, I agree with you in the direction of "but for what?" Amusing Ourselves to Death [1] was written in 1985 and is as relevant as ever.

You also need to be aware that in this case, the attacker is/would not targeting any specific device. For brute forcing, all it takes is a dictionary of most common passwords and a list of devices that are exposed. Attackers won't spend too much time on any single device as there are so many options out there.

I use Nvidia's ShieldTV server in the Experience package with Moonlight as the client, but yes, the Nvidia closed source backend does fault on some things (such as only shows primary monitor in multimonitor setups), but the stream quality is much higher and latency lower than using Steam to stream my desktop.

However, there is an alternative to Nvidia's closed source backend, called Sunshine (argh, the pun): https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine

I haven't tried it yet, as I do run Windows /w Nvidia GPU on my desktop, but it apparently uses nvenc correctly (I'm on a Turing, Turing and Ampere have that fancy low latency mode for their encoder; something Steam still doesn't engage for in home streaming, yet uses the nvenc API directly), but also can support multimonitor (has a shortcut key to cycle through monitors).

Currently Everybody can use as much power as they want whenever they want, up to the size of their service, and everywhere I’ve lived has not had issues with the street being under provisioned. I doubt everyone charging their car overnight will be too much load.

The bulk electrical system in western North American can already handle instantaneous changes in load on the order of thousands of megawatts. As new generation comes online it will be important to retain that characteristic by pairing solar/wind with storage to firm it up.

That old saying: "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,...." is relevant here.

If it costs like a taxi, looks like a taxi, pays its drivers like a taxi, it's a taxi. It's not an 'Uber' - whatever that's supposed to mean.

Uber appealed to the riders because it was cheaper - now the costs are approaching taxi prices, what's the 'Uber' advantage?

Uber appealed to drivers because they could earn more money than it cost to run their vehicles - with lower driver-payments, what's the 'Uber' advantage?

So, if the costs are higher and the returns aren't there why drive for 'Uber' at all? Without the drivers, there's nobody to take the riders anywhere. Best to order a Taxi. At least you know that there is a taxi in the town, and it will get to you eventually.

On the other hand, if no Uber driver happens to feel like driving at the moment, you could be waiting for days until your trip happens.

I've always said that Uber is scam. Soaking the investors and drivers alike, while the 'management boys' skim the top and laugh all the way to the bank.
