To set the scene, "poor" means middle class and below, but not quite rich enough, to be able to get a mortgage. Or facing any other obstables to a mortgage such as career stability or being self-employed.

I think typically "poor" people move in when the prices are just about affordable in the area. There they settle, have families, have their friends, support network, schools, jobs, community, etc. It all seems very reasonable.

And then the rents go up, and up, and up, and up... faster than income.

So they are forced to move away to a new place where they don't know anybody and have no connections.

They settle down in the new place. Children go to a new school. Community programs are scrapped in the old place and re-founded in the new place. Keep in touch with old friends by phone, but in-person friends have to be made anew. Do it all over again. Get really settled in. And then the rents in the new place go up, and up, and up, and up... faster than income again.

So they are forced to move again.

I think there's a fair moral argument for it being an injustice that "poor" people are not able to settle in any area except the most deprived areas where it's possible to project will stay deprived for decades to come.

There's always a substantial chance that wherever they land, if it's a reasonable place that they can afford, conditions will change, and they will be gradually squeezed until they are priced out and forced to reset their lives again somewhere else.

Being able to settle long-term in some reasonable place is arguably a significant moral imperative in the design of society. This is one of many possible metrics for evaluating what "works" or "doesn't work".

And almost everyone's income drops a lot when they become elderly. Stability of place is really important for the elderly. It's sad when they have to leave to a place where they have nobody.

Nah, the cameras are far more likely to be at the fertilizer storage depots with a watchlist for terror suspects.. US ag. wouldn't exist without immigrants so they have very little incentive to "watch" for them.
> How are they being mistaken?

Because the image is named "alpine-glibc", but the "how" is irrelevant. People are getting confused and that's a problem.

> No where do they claim to be the official Alpine image.

Doesn't stop people from being mistaken.

> If someone is mistaking this package as being supported by Alpine Linux as a whole, then they also the same people that would mistake Google for any app installed from the Google Play Store.

Agreed.
I was born in 1963 and still learned to read Kurrent and Fraktur, because there so many good documents written in it. Just as you still learn Latin
> Let's say they came out decades ago and said "hey, there's probably going to be some repercussions for using our products" ... do you really think that would have changed anything?

Yes. Big oil's lies and disinformation seeded the denialism that took hold in the Republican party decades ago.

I 100% agree, while it drives me nuts seeing vaccine disinformation, I think banning people only solidifies their views. It's best to keep the debate open so people can point out why they're incorrect.

Personally I just want this Pandemic to be over as soon as possible, thus I want vaccination rates to go as high as possible, but I don't think banning disinformation will achieve that, it will only put fuel to the fire. Plus I remember when discussing the possibility of a lab leak was considered misinformation. Banning people who don't support the narrative or excepted wisdom could be abused to suppress people blowing the whistle on actual conspiracies.
Yes. And what I tried to point out, albeit not very clearly in retrospect, was that hedging is not only applicable and useful in cases that are plainly speculative in nature. E.g. I would like to hedge against the case of Forex fluctuations when doing a large international deal, or delivery delays, or bad harvests, etc.
No. You're confusing public health measures with political ideology.

This confusion is one of the reasons that the US covid response was, and continues to be, such a failure. The US is at 649,754 deaths from covid and counting.
Is it tragedy of the commons, then? Once things settle, won’t people learn that adding 1 additional GPU only increases my cost by 1 and doesn't increase my reward? Can’t we design a system where the number of transactions processed scales with the compute power of the system rather than striving to always keeping block time constant?
Which is better, to be a commodity, or to be a not-commodity but the thing that makes you not a commodity is a thing that nobody actually wants?
SDR made me understand how much RF noise my desktop computer emits. Lots of spikes between 400-500mhz. Could be my monitor also, as scrolling text seems to emit the most noise.
Thought this bit was clever:

"Unfortunately no bank would give us a mortgage so we had to switch tactics. We rebranded ourselves slumlord investors, presented the bank with a pro forma that showed the building would cash flow with market rate rents, and we requested a business loan. The bank completely understood that model and granted us the funds. Once we owned the property we simply rented to ourselves. Later we refinanced and converted to a normal fixed rate standard mortgage."
More people believe the earth is flat now than did 100 years ago. That's an impact.

That headline reminded me of the old BBC prank:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_wkxH9dU

The spaghetti tree hoax is a famous 3-minute hoax report broadcast on April Fools' Day 1957 by the BBC current affairs programme Panorama. It told a tale of a family in southern Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from the fictitious spaghetti tree, broadcast at a time when this Italian dish was not widely eaten in the UK and some Britons were unaware that spaghetti is a pasta made from wheat flour and water. Hundreds of viewers phoned into the BBC, either to say the story was not true, or wondering about it, with some even asking how to grow their own spaghetti trees. Decades later CNN called this broadcast "the biggest hoax that any reputable news establishment ever pulled."

Have a large family or a small business?

My wife's immediate family is 9 adults, 6 of whom are all on the same cell plan because it's cheap and convenient for everyone involved. If everyone gets along, there's not a whole lot of downside here.
I had used Obsidian - when it was all local file - for a while and switched to Roam because I could use it across my devices; going to try out Obsidian again because of the Syncing that's now available (and I was too lazy to get it set up with some stupid/janky rsync attempt on a box/drive folder).

Definitely liked Obsidian's ecosystem a lot more than Roam's so I'm excited to give it another shot now that my one missing - but needed - feature is now available.
Our ancestors eliminated the majority of hominid species, leaving us here. There is no scientific evidence that any early hominid species was wiped out by a viral pandemic.
I agree that the externalities are still overwhelmingly negative, but one part you're missing is that cryptocurrencies act as a global reserve asset. Crypto is still tiny compared to other financial markets, but the existence of cryptocurrencies has probably reduced the volatility of other assets somewhat.

In the future, this effect will likely be more pronounced. It's an asset class that has some degree of independence from other asset classes, so it decreases the overall risk of the financial system.
This is kind of a hyperbolic re-write of the linked article at Tom's Hardware[1], which is I guess originally sourced (by both articles) at a Chinese site called expreview. The linked article at Tom's Hardware has more information and more context that is, confusingly, left out of the top level article.

[1]: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wd-blue-sn550-ssd-performa...

p.s is it possible to change what the link is to? it seems sort of pointless to have a discussion on an article that appears to be clickbait, in that it adds nothing substantive and in fact neglects to include a lot of information.
If only we could send a self-replicating machine that builds raspberry pis and solar panels to the moon with an uplink.

Then the difficulty would jump and we'd need to send one to Jupiter.

Then to mercury to set up the dyson swarm.

Suddenly we are a Kardashev civ... but it's all for bitcoin mining for rich billionaire paranoia of centralized currency control by the US government, and the actual bitcoin production rate is constant since the difficulty rate on the coins exploded from galaxy-spanning miner fleets.
> n2-highmem-4 4 32GB $0.262028

For Google Cloud, the N2 machine family is actually quite expensive, and I tend to avoid them if possible. Rather, I use the E2 series for smaller machines, and the N2D series if I need a machine bigger than E2's size limits.

For us-west2, an e2-highmem-4 instance has 4 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM, but costs only $0.217148 per hour.
Thanks for this, I was thinking of trying it on an Android media device. Is there a fork or is this totally proprietary?
The bigger problem is that the web itself is rotting away as we speak. Yes, browsers no longer supporting old API calls is a huge problem, for instance for archived content that at some point will simply stop working, a bit like a 78 RPM record. Good luck finding a player. All the Flash content and so much other work that is part of our digital record is no longer working (and I absolutely loathe Flash).

So whether or not you can still use it today, the bigger question is will you be able to use that website 10 years or longer into the future? Because any book ever printed can still be read today (assuming you know the script and the language it was written in), I think the longevity of the web will top out at a couple of decades at best before the digital termites and worms will consume the devices that could have rendered the content you are interested in.

Plain ascii text will likely live the longest, with markdown as a good second. Anything that executes will likely simply die.
Thank you for the data point. :)

To answer your question: there is multiple parts to it, I am certain they will tackle some parts like search in the future. I don't see them solving lineage or data monitoring anytime soon. Also cross-system overview (e.g. with Tableau) won't be coming.
j/w: What use cases do you have or have in mind for your glibc package? Do you see it as a temporary step for adding pre-built things to Alpine images during development, before you have time to rebuild them against musl? Do you feel some prod use cases are ‘safe enough’?

Or nowadays do you generally prefer the upstream compatibility packages you mentioned?

There are things like Minio which lots and lots of people use as an S3-compatible object store because it's so simple to set up. Most S3 alternatives are just a part of much larger filing system that's more demanding to set up. NextCloud is pretty big as well, though I don't know the exact numbers.

I think in the end, it doesn't matter as much. These are meant to be deployed for a cohesive user base that numbers between a single geek and an entire region of a country or small org.

They most often use libre data formats and protocols to store and communicate data. In such a situation, the network effect is less pronounced, and measuring market share isn't as important. As long as the service works reliably and meets user needs, I don't think people will clamour to replace them with proprietary solutions.

Our relations with AWS were the best but still very lacking for our position in the market.

A support ticket for a GCP API bug was ignored/answered by complete robots.

Azure promised working with us when they launched spots but the end result was disappointing and the demo was almost laughable

How exactly do higher property taxes encourage more homes being built?

Edit: I guess you mean taxes on land, not the houses. But even then, would this not encourage to build high-yield luxury condos instead of high-density cheap space?
Of course we both know that it's insufficient that the media and science discuss it if huge swaths of the population distrust those institutions or if they get large amounts of conflicting information via their social networks.

> You act like we just found out about global warming last week

Humanity isn't a borg mind. Just because science has been increasing its understanding of climate change for decades doesn't mean that the average citizen possesses a climate scientist's understanding. And the carbon industries have worked hard to ensure that laypeople and especially politicians misunderstand.
Was (is) there any normal person who was in favor of the DMCA? Geeks knew about it and hated it; non-geeks were unaware or, if informed, hated it. It was a product of lawyers and moneyed "entertainment" industry interests.
Discord doesn't even do its one thing all that well.

Non-standard for-pay emojis are a terrible idea. Text should be copyable, by everyone, exactly as it is.

It's not the worst among the current stable of chat solutions. I would give that award to Teams, because wow, Teams fails in just about every way, it's a spectacle really.

Each day, I am a bit surprised at how all of the major platforms fall short of expectations, because superficially it seems like a pretty tractable problem space.
Easy, just hack into their database and add them.
"We won't stop people from spreading known misinformation because if we did maybe in the future we might possibly stop people from spreading known factual information" is such a terrible argument.

The fact that a slippery slope can be identified within a premise does not mean that it exists, and straining at flies while you let a camel pass is an issue that has plagued humanity for thousands of years, and still we are no closer to recognizing it or solving it than we were back then.
>some browsers understood X11 color names

This still exists in some weird places. For example, I have a Hue portable light that connects to Alexa and can change colors. But I can only tell it X11 color names...it doesn't understand anything else. Which is funny given that both devices are fairly modern.
hi gab, hope you're well
This, rather than JavaScript would have been the way to extend the web into a more cross platform application domain. Now we have essentially a bitmapped graphics terminal where each and every entity re-invents the user interface in new, incompatible and broken ways.
I am shocked to learn that I can get a 32GB RAM VM from AWS for cheaper than a 961GB RAM VM from GCP.

It looks like the author just went to https://cloud.google.com/compute/vm-instance-pricing#memory-... under the assumption that "memory-optimized" was what they needed, not realizing that "memory-optimized" is for truly ridiculous workloads with terabytes of RAM.

For "compute optimized" they're comparing ARM Graviton2 ("price performance optimized") AWS instances (I don't know where; I can't find any that cost >$0.2/hr) in to 3.8GHz Intel Cascade Lake ("highest performance per core") GCP instances... in LA.
It’s tough for small groups or hobbyists to do because building and keeping stock is a considerable investment and risk so a lot of times they’ll do batches constantly.

Also if you’ve had multiple projects that would want to use it why not order it knowing you’ll probably have a similar idea in the future?
The point i was making us that you can build apps without silica. That will result in your apps looking like they do on apple, ie whatever. I could fake most of silica if i wished, but i hope jolla finally turns the corner and can stop being so tight fisted. I believe they will. Othwise i would not develope there. I will of course work to make my apps run everywhere. Quite a few do.
While it is harder, it isn't impossible. They have done QOL studies to find out what kind of posts make people feel depressed and what not.

Totally agree with that second paragraph though. Leaving openings for competitors is how you get killed by competitors. Not sure where the line between compelling but not evilly so is.
> people should not go to prison for not paying their debts

Try to not pay your taxes and you end up in prison in all the countries I know about.

Anyway, I feel like your argument works against you, actually. I think a core moral value is to allow anyone to move into the city if they wish so. With rent control, you limit the privilege to live in a city mostly to those born there. This is worse than the unfair advantage you have when raised in a wealthy family. At least anyone can study and make a good life later on, but rent control doesn't allow for much movement altogether. If you're born outside the city - bad luck.
I'll bite: How do you make that comparison? What are you comparing? Not being demeaning, but literally what does this sentence mean?
The real value is only in the USD and NGN. Using Bitcoin to move the value is only propped by hype-fueled insanity that doesn't need to exist. International banks could easily create an international money-transfer system that would be far more reliable and secure than any decentralized Ponzi scheme. An in fact, such systems do exist - for example I used to earn in USD and spend instantly in other countries using international Visa/Mastercards like Revolut or Wise.
The list is decided during the primaries. In the US at least, the biggest problem is that very few Americans seem to understand how significant primaries are; we usually see sub-30% turnout for those elections, but those are the elections where questions like "Trump or Cruz" or "Clinton or Biden" are decided (to say nothing of federal legislators, which are a full branch of government, or state government, which has more day-to-day impact on most Americans than who is President).
Everything looked like that, those clunky bevels fit right in with the operating systems of the time.

Is the best path to forming a startup these days to take an already existing product and market it to a very specific niche while taking investment capital that rivals the revenue of pre-existing software?

I don’t get it. Really.
Yes, a general user/consumer can transmit in the ISM band without a license, but they are still required to use intentional transmitters which have been certified by the FCC.
The idea that we are in control of what the people who call themselves government do is an illusion. The most reliable way to limit their malfeasance is to reduce the overall scope of their activities, which can best be done by significantly reducing their budget.
> this would mean that consumers would lose something they wanted.

When was the last time politicians voted for something >55% of their voters didn't want? LBJ and the Civil Rights Act? How did that turn out?

> I have never heard of a business that reaches $x of profit and then switches to pricing everything so that they get $0 of profit.

Isn't this the business model of tons of huge companies? Amazon famously ran at very deliberately low profits for years. Uber and Lyft have margins so low they're losing tons of money in an attempt to get market share.
Not being able to do something has never stopped people from needing to do it :P

"A booming industry of cybersecurity consultants, software suppliers and incident-response teams have so far failed to turn the tide against hackers and identity thieves who fuel their businesses by tapping these deep reservoirs of stolen corporate data."

Sure, blame the consultants with their "booming industry". I'm sure T-Mobile spent adequate amounts of money on securing their data, hired all the best people, and it was all the security peoples' fault for not doing it properly.
They also had no understanding of maps, email, cloud storage, or mouse ergonomics and they still don't.

Gosh I wish Apple with their loads of cash and drive to have the highest performing chip would get big ole fabs on US and EU shores. The fact that a disputed country owns the best fabs is downright scary for the future of the world (add in that the disputing country is the next superpower).
The Chrome team are a bunch of entitled jerks. They keep doing these things completely tone deaf and disconnected from the rest of the world. Unfortunately this seems to be fairly common with large software vendors in general, as soon as they have a captive audience they immediately turn hostile.
Maxwellhill is an old account. I think online user anonymity is a biggest deal and people realize the value of that. Sort of like op security. So I could see her registering that 14 years ago. But over time she should have realized she need better security. Why she would continue to use it 14 years later is more of a question?

Maybe. The account stopped posting 2 days before she was arrested. And hasn't posted since.
The only thing I can think of that goes that low out of the box is the old Ettus Research USRP1, B100/B110, or E100/E110 SDRs combined with both a LFRX daughtercard and LFTX daughtercard, which are DC - 30 MHz.

The SDRs themselves can occasionally be found on eBay and the daughtercards are still sold directly by Ettus Research or themselves occasionally can be occasionally found on eBay.
I wouldn't mind it if it didn't force me to install the Yelp app to see more details/photos. They must have some kind of deal.
