When you apply for a loan you have to submit information about previous loans, taxes and payslips. That contains most of the useful information in credit scores anyway.
Maintainer of the Alpine package you referenced here. I'm not a "them". ;)

I don't see where "Alpine" is used in the package name, unless you're referring to the source repository name. In case it isn't clear, `alpine-pkg-` is a prefix which denotes that the repository contains an Alpine Linux package manifest and configuration. There's nothing in the repo itself which states that this package is published and/or endorsed by Alpine Linux.

In Helsinki rents rose by 40% after rent control was abolished and in other parts of the country by 26%. The average rent per m^2 is 11.3 euro in Stockholm and 19.5 euro in Helsinki. Furthermore, Finland spends three times as much on subsidizing poor tenants that can't pay their rent than what Sweden does. There is subsidized housing in Finland called Ara-housing, but the queuing time for those apartments is six to seven years.

No. It's a joke. The police a) don't want to deal with the liability of an overdose on their watch, b) don't want to do the hour's worth of paperwork for arrests, because they just turn them right back on to the street. Junkies plainly do not get arrested most of the time.
Sometimes people want to sell their property, move somewhere else, etc. For example someone inherits a flat. They want to sell it. It's empty. Are they forced to lend it out or accept that it'll be squatted and then it'll take years to be able to sell it?

Vacancy tax as a concept seems interesting, but it seems hard to collect on it without a total centralized property and occupancy database. Plus it seems easy to have a few friends/relatives fake move into each of your vacant properties. (Though the tax might still make sense, because big real estate management companies will likely not engage in these workarounds, and thus it might help to put more units on the market with better rates.)

The market is not free. Otherwise people were building all over the place, making all kinds of contracts and so on. Mostly it's good that they don't, but a modern tragedy of cities is the drastically underprovision of new high density development and mass transit investments.
You can no more override supply and demand than you can override the CAP theorem. If you don't have sufficient supply then demand responds either with shortages or high prices.

People are rationally responding to incentives that exist. It's hard to get a rent controlled apartment because there is more demand than supply. So people are incentivized to give them to family because otherwise it could take a decade to get them.

It's impossible to tell if Skype becoming irrelevant was due to new bloated features, new features that were badly implemented, or just that their users wanted to play with a new shinny tool that happened to be good and gradually moved there. They could have stayed put without adding any new features and would still be beaten by Discord.
When Australia voted a law which force all nationals comply to the order of decryption, There was a half-joking, half-serious suggestion that is, whether it's safe for the OSS project to accept contribution from Australian. The chances are, he may be ordered by the Australian government to inject backdoor. If there exists a law for it, it will be used.
> not use a smartphone, or any phone at all.

There are some real-world issues with that, all of which a friend recently encountered (they don't even use a credit card). Firstly, if you don't set up internet/mobile banking, it does leave you open to someone doing it "for you." Luckily money in the bank is insured, but that doesn't help the stress experienced by a 70 y/o (who was doing all the right stuff, as she's retired intelligence). Secondly, you're going to struggle if you're forced into some situation away from your landline, such as a hospital visit.

I was able to repurpose my Pixel 4 with GrapheneOS for her: no app store, no email, no scrolly things, data disabled, no e-waste, nothing but phone calls over LTE.
I agree, but they could always acquire some search startup.
How big of a company is it? If it's just you and your friend / brother / partner, try to use the network you already have: family, friends, colleagues and so on. This isn't a joke, every time I go back to my hometown, someone has to ask me to build a website or app for them. You'll be paid pennies at first probably, but you build a network and the word spreads out.

If you're bigger than that just hire sales people. That's how it works anyway.

And the 3rd way of proving your worth is doing open source work. I've seen plenty of companies start like that.
no peer review is what happens after a manuscript is submitted, after a preprint is circulated, after a paper is submitted to a journal and after publication.

Not the parent poster, but I often say similar things :)

For me it's the idea that the software provider thinks privacy is important and I trust them much more than Google or Apple. It's also very close to desktop linux. Root access over ssh is just one checkbox away in the settings. After that I can install any software that is available on Linux, or I can mess about in /etc.

The Ambience system is very nice as well. With almost only native apps and a white-on-black ambience, my phone is visually very quiet and not that much distracting.

It feels like I own this phone, almost as much as my desktop computer. I am not renting it where someone else has root access and I don't (or I have to fight for it).
There's actually been a fair bit of construction. In fact, a 2400 unit development is under construction here right now.

Show HN: The Cloud Resume Challenge Book
Since April 2020, the Cloud Resume Challenge [0] has helped hundreds of people

• skill up on cloud,

• improve their career prospects,

• and even land cloud jobs from totally non-tech fields like plumbing and HR.

I ended up turning the challenge into a book to help the next generation of folks transition to cloud, and I'm very excited to launch it today! [1]

What’s inside the ebook:

° 130+ pages of tools, tips, and bonus projects

• The secret “17th step” that makes your project stand out above the crowd

• How to write a challenge blog post that will get the right kind of attention

• Four all-new bonus projects covering AWS, Kubernetes, and more

• Proven challenge-to-job strategies for both career-changers and upskillers

• Case studies from challenge champions: how they got hired, what they learned

Plus, you get free access to my regular “Best Jobs in Cloud” newsletter [2], featuring curated job opportunities for both juniors and seniors - a $50/year value.

You can check out the original challenge, which forms the backbone of the book, at [3]. I would love any thoughts or feedback.

No need to imagine, HPV infection causes cervical, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx cancer and we have a vaccine for HPV (that is effective against the majority of the strains of HPV that cause cancer)! According to the CDC "almost all cervical cancer can be prevented by HPV vaccination."

One of the okupa they interviewed says that they purposely target corporate-owned, vacant properties. Slippery slope, sure, but kicking people out of homes they live in doesn't seem to be the goal as of yet.
Not specific to Sweden, but, to paraphrase myself¹:

A landlord will need a single legal person to be responsible for the paying of the rent, and own the lease. Most individuals will not have anything close to the sort of documented income or credit history to make any sensible landlord agree to the lease. “My friends will totally chip in to pay the rent!” is just not going to work.

I mean, it is just different "hard men" that show up to kick out the poor when you have fast and efficient eviction proceedings.

It's the same violence, and the same outcome; one just uses neat uniforms.

I also like the rule of law but let's not pretend that these two situations are really that much different.
Unity was founded by Danish people here in Denmark.

It wouldn't surprise me that this kind of "activism" among American tech workers will push more Unity jobs back to Denmark. Danish tech workers will demand good pay and reasonable working hours but they will not try to impose Bay Area style woke activism on the whole company.
Worth noting that this is believed to likely be an ISIS-K attack, a group that is an enemy of both the US and the Taliban.
Yup, also being used at Shopify. Types are awesome, but these companies got very far by betting big on the productivity of ruby before this became a concern.
Maintainer of the Alpine package referenced here. The same name for what? The package name is `glibc`. I think you're confusing/conflating the source control repository's name with the package when they are different things.

Admittedly they don't have to vertically integrate, and they wouldn't pay list prices if they use any other cloud.

But honestly, if the idea is to get off of Google search, what exactly is the gain by relying on a third party albeit at a lower level?

You have to ask yourself: Is running a search engine the best thing that Apple could be doing with its time? Is the fact that they don't run their own search engine a danger to their core business?

In the end it comes down to projected cost and income, and obviously I'm not in a position to calculate either one for Apple, not being in the room with their ruthless negotiators.

But yeah, the starting point of dropping google is losing out on these $15B. So already that's what you have to work with. And then the cost of public cloud egress traffic, which is famously ridiculously expensive.

Your comment seems a bit like "why don't they just…", which seems a bit naive when dealing with business at this scale.
I first used my Google account to sign up using my phone, but decided to switch to desktop halfway through the onboarding process. It was then impossible to login because:
"Email ID not registered."
It was also impossible to register because:
"An account already exists for this email address."
I started a new free trial using another Google account.

I tried to add my REST API as a data source, but I had to initialize it with an endpoint that returned some entities. My base endpoint ('/parse') does not do this. Therefore it seems like I need to add a new connector for every API resource I have ('/parse/classes/Dog' etc).

I added a table and hooked it up to the data connector I made earlier, but despite using a previously configured connector I had to re-configure authorization headers etc. Inbuilt pagination was nice.

I clicked "Test&Finish", everything looked alright but the table in the designer did not update. After spending a few minutes trying to figure out what went wrong I tried the play button and it seems like it worked all along, just that the data changes is not reflected in the designer. That kinda ruins the WYSIWYG aspect of it.

I figured I should try one of the templates to see how a real DronaHQ app can be. It seemed to me like DronaHQ can do more complex apps than the two others. I tried the Dashboard template. It had a bunch of filter options, but nothing happened when I clicked on them.

Overall it looks like DronaHQ is more ambitious than the others. But the bugs really needs to be ironed out.
One word that keeps coming up in all these objectionable scenarios is 'market'.

One word you never see is 'standard'.

All this isn't an exception, it's the rule. If you want stuff to not be wrecked by externalities, back away from free market concepts and look towards more centralized control from whatever source. No exceptions.

We could probably shift towards a sort of managed capitalism model and be just fine. It's the free market absolutism that causes this. This is what you get out of that. It's not increasing the evilness in the world, it's just that without accounting for externalities competitive pressure will always push this direction no matter what. There are no rules in 'competitive' unless you put them there.

Non-free-market systems don't naturally scale, while by definition free-market systems that ignore externalities can scale to unlimited extent, for 'free'. Again, this is what you get.

Figuring out how to make capitalism be managed and still scale nearly as well as free-market capitalism is just a problem, nothing more. It is only an area of possible disruption, work to be done. It's not some tautology.
I think that it's a shift in trust. 10 years ago people worried about sketchy/annoying software and would avoid software that asked them to refill their printer ink 10 times a month.

These days everyone lives in a walled garden of some kind so there's less chance of sketchy software being outright malicious.

Also I think people are just inured to it. Apps on my android phone that I pay money for still send ads to my notification bar every day. If my desktop starts doing the same that's hardly a large shift.

Bitcoin will never move to PoS. The community is far to fractured, without a leader they'll never agree.
You can audit the source. There is very little closed, and that is primarily the android bits. I don't use those.

And since one of them isn't backed by the state, the people can neutralize them without risking their entire lives.

There are a lot more people who don't own capital than there are people who do.
You mean Apple would handle them $15B worth of value to Microsoft (or Yahoo? Isn't Bing just Yahoo reskinned with fancy wallpapers?) and Yandex for free? As for DDG, despite I myself like and use it, almost everyone whom I told said they are not satisfied with its search results. I doubt Apple is willing to harm their users satisfaction this way.

I would rather expect them to go introduce a search engine of their own. The Runnaroo author has proven it is possible and not even hard even for a single developer to build their own search engine and beat Google in terms of quality and UX.
Climate and Crypto are the new Mobile
Most of the squatters aren't trying to extort, they're just trying to get somewhere to live for free or for cheap. Yeah, some are freeloaders, but lots of them have lost their jobs and/or are suffering the combination of the crisis and the spectacular surge of pricing on real estate this last years.

Even with this problems, squatting incidence have been falling on the last 5/10 years.
That is a point in favor of this particular policy idea, though, isn't it?
Hey! I logged back into HN just to say thanks.

2048 was a great distraction as I rode the Boston subway to a job I truly hated.

Distractions like that helped preserve my sanity until I found a better job.
Seattle (which is for forbidden by the state from implementing rent control) added 2-3x the housing units as San Francisco from 2010-2020 despite similar population growth in both cities. The impact of price controls on supply is a well studied phenomenon. Lower price for something -> less incentive to produce it.
I’ve never heard a complete argument as to how central bank policy makes people want new cars, fancy clothes, or big houses (or tropical and ski vacations)…

I think people want those luxuries and (many) are willing to work for them entirely independent of central bank policy.
This happens to us. We bought a property and it took us a month to move in. A family squatter in. If you tried to get them out with a judge order and the police, they will call their association and would have 50 people on call to resist. It took us 5 years, get a special favor and we had to pay them about 10% of the price of the house for them to leave.
I haven't even got down one metre yet. I hoped I'd be done before it gets dark. How is anyone else doing?

Nor should they be. Drug abuse is a health problem. Unless someone is an immediate threat to their surroundings, the police should not be involved.
If you leave the property unattended and squatters move in, after 48h of them being on the property, you cannot have law enforcement kick them out and have to use the courts for months of proceedings.
People on Hacker News love to complain about NIMBYism, but then downvote a comment that points out a glaring market problem.

It really shows that YIMBYism was never about empowering new homeowners or tenants, it’s just about removing regulations and giving more power to the large property owners who rent them out.
The most shocking YouTube channel found last months is this one from one of these companies. They tried to produce a Reality Show showing their day in day out routines, but the broadcast networks rejected the project (they have obvious links with far right movements). Crazy stuff:

Once there was a billing snafu and they cut off my line, with no notice given. I was freaking out a bit cause I thought it might be a SIM swap attack or something. After figuring it out and getting reconnected, I realized that actually they had told me about it. Via a text message. To the phone number they disconnected. After they disconnected it.
>perhaps insisting on a public registry of those known to have had traffic citations, so those people can be denied services at restaurants etc...

Speeding isn't infectious. If you get a traffic ticket I don't magically start getting them if we sit next to each other at a restaurant. "These people" are tired of "my opinion is just as valid as your science", and I don't blame them.
This is going to be a controversial opinion, but I agree with the mods who wrote the petition. The 'fire in a crowded theater' analogy is overused, but it seems applicable here.
Additionally, those who moderate these subs (nnn especially) have repeatedly, and seemingly intentionally, failed to enforce site wide content policies. One needs look no further than r/covidvaccinated for proof of vote brigading.

Europe has many broken laws that serve only to erode society. If you lose your rights to your own property because someone breaks into it, what's the point of owning real estate? Similarly, illegal migrants from some countries can just enter Austria and Germany, knowing they'll not be deported even if courts find they don't deserve asylum - and they will enjoy the benefits of those countries' social security systems, paid by the taxpayers. It's like well-known exploits that aren't being fixed on purpose and taken advantage of until the system breaks down.
Exactly.

Words to remember today with the asymmetric application of the law. Eventually vigilante justice becomes the justice for those facing injustice.
I don’t think anyone “runs” the federal government. I think offices and processes exist, and I think there’s a semi-hereditary politburo occupying said offices, but I don’t think anyone has much authority.
... and then build/buy/lease the appropriate amount of cloud compute to be able to host it.

I mean, sure they could, but what would that expense gain them in terms customer experience?

Furthermore, as inquiries of monopoly power poke at Apple, there is likely little appetite (if there ever was) to expand their monopoly horizontally into other industries.
This refers specifically to adverse possession and differs by state. If memory serves New York is 10 years, Texas is measured in months, both require real improvements to the property and a formal legal process.
Nevertheless any impact on production would set them behind their production targets which would need to be caught up. Even if it didn't impact production, it would certainly have impacted costs, hence contributing to the price hike.
The reason you don't list android user on your resume is that it's very difficult to use android (or iOS) for anything beyond passive consumption of content which is not something employers want.
Or have JavaScript removing nodes from DOM after they are actually there... might require some attempts with Reader Mode and reloads (as it's timing dependent) but it's worth a try if you want to read a specific article.
They are not being reductionist. Each additional hashing unit cancels out at the next difficulty adjustment, having a net effect of zero on the overall working of the network.

Yes, the hash rate of the network increases, thus the difficulty for an attacker to perform a double spend. But, arguably, that's an already insane level of resources, many orders of magnitude higher than what a bitcoin-like payment system would reasonably require.

So even if you consider the network socially useful, pouring thousands of times more hashing power that the network actually requires to perform its task securely is still a waste of resources.
> I’m not sure why you are being downvoted.

Well, they're equating all squatters with meth manufacturers.
In all those years I haven't heard of even one situation where this happened. I think the Sailfish X licensing exists since 2017 and many people have gone this route.

There always seem to be some sympathy in Barcelona for those poor people who can't afford apartments, but there is plenty of really affordable apartments on a train-ride's distance and they are extending the metro every year into new areas.

Okupa's in Barcelona are now run by professional organizations, taking over a property and then subrenting to mostly latin americans who couldn't care less.

They also happily engage in stealing electricity from their neighbors and shortcutting the water meters raising the bills for everybody else (Utilities are really expensive in Barcelona).

Add to that that the mayor of Barcelona comes from the Okupa movement herself and she couldn't care less about people's retirement assets as they would never vote for her.

There are real-estate investors buying apartments from old ladies who lost their extra pension income due to okupa's for cheap and then sending private services to expel the okupa's.
