It's a lot more complicated than that and I'm really not interested in hearing more schemes to provide "homes for the homeless." All such schemes boil down "I have some idea for housing people that sounds like it might interest people currently sleeping in a dumpster."

The thing about homelessness is that the minute you have a home, you are no longer homeless.

This is not a separate population that needs some weird sub par answer that damn few people would genuinely desire as a housing solution. Homeless people are just people currently without housing. That's it. That's all it is.

We need more housing for ordinary, not wealthy people. Housing with dignity but that dignity needs to stop being defined by people who think "If it's not a mansion, I ain't living in it!"

We used to build small homes. Normal, market rate small homes.

We mostly don't anymore.

Financing mechanisms and tax incentives are part of the morass of housing policies creating the current mess, not just zoning codes. Though we have largely zoned out of existence the ability to build Missing Middle Housing, etc.
>> try saying "I do not wish to discuss my personal life at work" in response to any questions about your personal life, and see how it goes

No one will bat an eye at that answer. There are some managers / employees / peers where I know their personal life well and there are some I don't know at all. It has never been relevant.
Maduino Power-Line Communication(PLC)
The Maduino Power-Line Communication(PLC) module has an onboard Atmega328p MCU for custom firmware development in the popular Arduino and Atmel Studio development environments; enabling one to create a custom smart home device and or powerline smart home network.
It's even crazier to think about that Houston isn't an example of zoning reform – they've never had any zoning to begin with! You can essentially build anything you want, anywhere, of any density. Yes, even skyscrapers in a residential area [1] or an industrial crematorium in the middle of a neighborhood [2] or, most famously, an amusement park-house-hybrid [3].

The problem is just that Texas, as a whole, has a planning philosophy of outwards, not upwards. Things are densifying in job rich areas now that they've just about expanded as far as they can (the city proper 669 square miles, or about twice the 5 boroughs of NYC, twice the geographic size of its sibling city Dallas, and 150+ square miles larger than Los Angeles; none of these sizes include surrounding suburbs, by the way).

All of this is long way to say that you're right – it's not just about zoning. It's equally about ending the grip of car-centric planning and not just allowing, but incentivizing densification and walkability. The fact 2/3rds of Houston is in (increasingly-frequent, due in part to the sprawl itself not allowing anywhere for water to runoff to) flood zones, too, is apparently not incentive enough.

Well, my company is happy to test baremetal fw on sw, as other better companies do also. Ditching tests is a lousy argument, only coming from people who have no idea how to test difficult targets.

Of course you have to patch qemu, gdb, renode and valgrind if something is missing. Eg the recent apple M1. But this is only needed for emulation, and we are talking simulation here.
It's also not a useful petition because it is about both the scanning of all iCloud uploads feature and the new parental control feature that scans incoming images on children's phones.

The parental control feature requires explicit opt in when the parent's set up the child's phone. When it finds a questionable image it warns the child and asks if they want to reject it or accept it.

If the child is at least 13 and accepts the image, that is the end of it. Their parents are not notified.

If the child is under 13 they are asked again if they really want to accept it, and told that if they do their parents will be notified.

Only if the child then goes ahead and accepts the images do the parents get notified.

Most objections to these features I've seen other than from the EFF are just on the upload scanning. I suspect that there are plenty of people who would sign a petition on that, but that are OK with the parental controls.

It would be much more useful to have separate petitions for the two features.
My wife moved from Finland, and ended up working in A&E in Dundee. She had a rough time at first understanding some of the heavier Scottish accents.

But the argument "we already have this, so why spend money on that other thing" makes sense, especially if they profit from it and don't pay the bill for it (the companies of non MS devs which have to handle that mess do).

Have you considered the Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 4? It came out about two weeks ago and Lenovos are generally known to be Linux friendly out of the box. But they are pricey and shipment might be delayed due to chip and material shortages. With that said, they can last you a while if you take care of them and are quite repairable.

It also would help if you provided us with your needs aside from privacy (web development, ML training, gaming, etc.), budget, and expected usage before replacement.
I will preface this by saying that I hate sprawl and think we should figure out how to disincentivize it. But why would the size of a city growing magically make people more wealthy? It isn’t magic, a person would need to somehow get a piece of the city via real estate or a business to benefit from population growth.
Peltiers and other thermoelectric generation is really really inefficient compared to basically any other energy capture method. They're about 5-15% max that we know how to make currently. Basically they only get used for things like RTGs where you need a zero maintenance very long lasting electric source; in the US that's mostly been spacecraft but in the USSR they were used for extremely remote lighthouses around the Arctic Circle where solar was impractical and resupply (and maintenance) of a diesel generator was prohibitively expensive.
There are two separate problems.

One is excess fossil fuel consumption, causing people to be able to live further away then they should be if the goal is to reduce carbon emissions. It does not matter how rich the person consuming them is, total consumption needs to go down.

A separate problem is a rich person being able to consume far more fossil fuels than a poor person. This is solved by taking from the rich person and giving to the poor person.

There is no “fucking over”. Based on the amount that fossil fuel consumption needs to be reduced, everyone will need to feel pain while cities are rezoned, people’s expectations of how much space they have are changed, and hence, politically, there will never be a solution to fossil fuel usage without the advent of technology that replaces it.
In case you missed the context, the parent poster (who was not downvoted BTW) literally has "commie" in their username, and wants to blame everything on "Social Conservatism."

The problem with crony capitalism is the crony, not the capitalism. Socialized healthcare is not the panacea that some people seem to think. And the ACA in the US isn't really either - more the like the worst of both worlds.

Attempting a summary from years of following the moderator comments: it's not just the substance, but how the substance is conveyed. You can write a comment making the connection between the German experience and what's going on now --- a sibling comment sort of did --- but you have to do it carefully. Otherwise, you're pattern-matched in with the other sorts of one-line comments that invoke the Stasi, and the important thing moderation is trying to do is to modulate the impact comments have on the conversation, so that pattern-matching matters.
I'm pro-YIMBY, but building more will only solve part of the problem. The problem it won't solve is that our winner-take-all economy is winner-take-all for cities, too. Everyone is pouring into the top n metro areas and even the most ambitious building program won't do more than put a small dent in all that demand. A small dent will make a real difference for a lot of people, but it also won't make much of a difference for a lot more.

I'm not a communist. Avatars haven't had to be literal since the 90's man, come on.

Does anyone actually think I'm a communist because of my username? Because even if you were a right-of-center libertarian, the root causes for America's failings on healthcare are a matter of the public voting record. It's not a communist opinion to blame this on social conservatives because social conservatives PROUDLY proclaim their disdain for "Obamacare" and any other form of medical socialism.

Landowners have monopoly control of land. There are ways of defining monopolies that avoid this conclusion, but the effect of a monopoly is precisely the effect of landowners. See, for example, Churchill: http://www.andywightman.com/docs/churchill.pdf

Land is essentially monopolised through regulatory capture (council land use restrictions) and the lack of new production of land (ignoring for now the very minor exceptions of, say, Dubai, Singapore, the Netherlands). There is a lack of viable substitutes of land, and due the necessity of land for human life, the owners of land are able to extract rent far above their marginal cost.

It would be possible for landlords to not engage in rent-seeking, but in practice there are exceedingly few landlords who do not. See, for example, Ricardo's Law of Rent for an introduction as to why land-lording is the classic example of rent-seeking.

Note that by saying "Investing in appreciating assets of any kind is also not." I suspect that you see land as equivalent to other forms of capital, and thus a legitimate form of investment to be pursued without any ethical qualms. However, land is not capital, and is distinct from other forms of investment.
I’ve been trying to coach my partner (who works in retail) that companies could hire more workers tomorrow if they wanted to participate competitively in the labor market. She’s constantly stressed at work to the point of it physically affecting her wellbeing because her store is under staffed. It’s not some act of god that the store is not staffed. People didn't just disappear. It’s on her company and its management to create a successful business. It’s not on her to go the extra mile and literally harm herself to keep the store running. It’s really hard to convince people stand up for themselves when they’re used to being exploited by their employer over and over (in different ways) their entire career.
Honestly airsend (https://www.airsend.io) works better than Zoom . Airsend can join meetings without creating accounts (God send for interviewing job candiy). With all the Zoom dark ui patterns galore, UX is confusing for new users. Zoom forces desktop app and quality has come down also. Now Teams and Meet are even better than Zoom.
>States tax a player based on their calendar-year income. They apply a duty day calculation which takes the ratio of duty days within the state over total duty days for the year. That ratio is then multiplied by the player’s salary to arrive at a state’s allocable income.

> For example, gradient descent is often used in machine learning in ways that don’t require extreme precision. But a machine learning researcher might want to double the precision of an experiment. In that case, the new result implies that they might have to quadruple the running time of their gradient descent algorithm. That’s not ideal, but it is not a deal breaker.

> But for other applications, like in numerical analysis, researchers might need to square their precision. To achieve such an improvement, they might have to square the running time of gradient descent, making the calculation completely intractable.

I think a silver lining here is that a company having access to 10,000 times as much computing power as a common consumer can only achieve, say, a 10x better model. So the inequality isn't as extreme as it could be.
I think it is presented that way by some, but in reality, the existence of the exemption and VAERS may also help with monitoring both actors more closely, by reducing the perceived stakes and costs of tracking side-effects. Thus the exemption could help catch and punish bad actors faster, and protect good actors.

Legally speaking, I expect the exemption says something about not lying to the FDA in the fine print, so true bad actors would not be able to hide behind the exemption either.
Argh! People make this so much more complicated than it has to be.

A tensor of rank N is a vector in a space whose basis is a set of N-tuples of ordinary vectors. That's it. So a rank-1 tensor is just a regular vector. A rank-2 tensor is a vector in a space whose basis is ordered pairs of regular vectors, a rank-3 tensor is a vector in a space whose basis is ordered triples of regular vectors, and so on.

I don’t really see configurability being a reasonable solution to this problem for any group of people. Letting people configure the order in which the delete and archive buttons appear, or whether each button shows a confirm dialog first, isn’t going to address anyone’s problem of having accidentally deleted things permanently.
I like it too. I really enjoy knitting together data feeds from a bunch of different sources. I like using the ` character to deal with bizarro database headers that were imported from spreadsheets where people used strange characters or SQL syntax in column names. I like parsing JSON trees to pick out key value pairs according to odd patterns, getting the first nine characters of the names of a bunch of csv files on a website and adding whatever is new in them to a database where the column names are the first nine characters plus some other stuff. And so on. A lot of people find this hellacious, and for some reason, I kind of like it.

I read once that to be a good general practitioner physician, you have to kind of like dealing with bad breath and... well, it was a disgusting sentence, and you get all the info you need from the first half, so no need to take it further. But in a similar way, I kind of like totally messed up data sources.
I guess because they feel like they are helping out users, not helping out Google.

It's a fascinating mind trick:

1. Poor people are living in crappy rooms and hotels.

2. We must do something, so we ban those forms of housing.

3. Now poor people are sleeping in the street. We solved the problem!

Which problem was actually solved?
Current thermoelectric tech has very low efficiencies. It's an active area of research where any small improvement could be significant. It would be an ideal way to produce power more or less directly from thermal neutron bombardment, IF a method / material can be found that can make direct thermoelectric conversion efficient enough to compete with a water or molten salt heat exchanger loop.
He indubitably is. And this is common. MIT uses NDAs and non-disparage agreements to cover stuff like this up, unless you bring it up first in a very public forum. Stanford has researchers who are well-known outright frauds now driving education reform in California. I know of incidents at Brown too.

This stuff is common, especially in elite schools, and especially among researchers with a lot of popular uptake. Stuff like this brings academic jobs.

Universities have no incentive to fire high-impact professors, and internal channels are populated by friends.

Competition for faculty positions is 1000:1 at elitist schools; jobs aren't available for those who cheat.

- External fonts are blocked by security-conscious users (including every Tor Browser user who remembers to set the browser security level correctly) for a reason: they're a major attack vector

- External fonts are often purely cosmetic. Using what over time adds up to several megabytes of data for cosmetics is inconsiderate.

- inb4 "just disable remote fonts if you hate them": doing so breaks many websites that use icon fonts. Expecting users to have to manually configure 50+ websites (yes I did this, I count 54 websites on my exception list) is just insane.

- Many people need to use local fonts. Some dyslexic people actively choose a font that helps them read more easily. Asking someone to play the whack-a-mole game of "will disabling remote fonts break this site's icons or not" game on every site because of a disability just isn't right.

Just use sans, serif, and monospace for content. Let the user agent decide what that looks like, not your company's branding.
It happens right at startup, and is a result of some calls (via the usual fork/exec dance) to `pidof ...` seemingly trying to identify the window manager being used, possibly for telemetry or possibly to change behavior. Decompiling would be more certain (I don't have ghidra on this computer and it's a little more effort than I want to go to) but the pattern is pretty visible in the strace dump.
I agree nuclear could be part of the solution, but nuclear is a dead horse and we can't just continue to beat it. It won't be revived as long as people don't feel secure about it. Beside the obvious reasons for it's rejection (catastrophic failure modes, WMD proliferation, costs overruns, building delays, waste management, vulnerability to social instability, rising sea levels and freshwater shortage), we have to think about what it means to go full-on nuclear and enable the same kind of consumption growth that put us in this position in the first place. We're just going to create another environmental crisis down the road (which may or may not be related to all those reactors).

We need to find how we can continue to improve our quality of life while reducing our consumption.
That seems to be the approach that MIT is taking with the SPARC reactor.

They've been working on their ARC reactor design, and decided they wanted a smaller, easy-to-make prototyping platform that they can run tests with. If I understand correctly, SPARC isn't designed for long-term use, or practical energy extraction. If they destroy one, they'll just make another.

If I remember right, they're working on re-mountable magnet coils for ARC so that you can just de-solder the windings and take the whole thing apart and replace the inner lining when necessary. I don't think SPARC has that.

SAT solvers will also be also be applied in traditional compilers soon.

The remaining problem with formal verification and compilation is proof of termination, which is not a SAT problem.

Running all test cases via cbcm is magnitudes faster than writing 100% coverage (only line cov, not covered values) tests. It's like one day vs one month. And I've never seen code with full value test coverage.

For guaranteed timing you need special tests, not a SAT solvers. The solver just helps with the proofs.
You're correct that you can't easily clone an NFC card from RF interactions alone, but beyond that just about every other aspect of these cards is worse.

Most contactless cards can be asked to transmit the cardholder's name, credit card number, and expiration date, and the card will happily do so, wirelessly. This is often enough to make fraudulent online transactions.

It's trivially easy to build a device that does this using a microcontroller and a coil of wire. You don't need to have a payment processor's encryption key, you can just make one up and the card will reply. You can walk around in a crowded area with such a device and capture responses from hundreds of cards in under an hour.

Electronic devices that clone your contactless card are usually better, as they generally require some sort of interaction before they'll respond -- actual physical contactless cards might as well be a megaphone attached to your credit card number.

If you can capture a genuine transaction between a POS terminal and a contactless card, and if the transaction amount is below the card's floor limit, the transaction can often be replayed or relayed to a different terminal.

With a cheap amplifier, this can be done reliably from low single digit ft away. The floor limit is usually somewhere around $20-$100 below which the terminal doesn't ask for a PIN or go online.
Regarding home sales, Zillow generally pulls from local MLS databases, so unless it's for-sale-by-owner they tend to have all available homes. For home rentals, it'll be more fragmented.
The first computers were massive Rube Goldberg machines the size of industrial buildings which cost a fortune and were useful only for the militaries of nation states. Now machines with a billion times the number of transistors fit in our pockets.

Projects like ITER and NIF are monstrously complex because they are science experiments where lots of things need to be varied and we don't even know what it is we need to do. An economical reactor designed by people who knew how to make such a reactor would look remarkably different.
