I can think of one. What if your problem is that someone with more money than you is paying thugs to commit violence on their behalf?

You'd have to band together with other people like you to stop them. I guess you'd also need some mechanism for restraining the worst impulses of the mob we've just organized, like a governor restrains a steam engine. We could call it a "government." I bet it would be a hit.
I wonder how you'd feel if after an extended trip you come back to your house/apartment just to find out some asshole decided to make it their home.
I have 6 lines, "unlimited" with T-Mobile for around $130 used by various family members. Can't find a better deal than that.
Right? The Vietnamese were really, really friendly. Constantly had people wanting to talk to me wherever I went, regardless which part of the country. At first I was scared there was an ulterior motive, but not in the slightest. They just wanted to talk.

Contrast: I spent some time in Central America a few years ago, and I found a lot of people who were really unfriendly, or hostile. Mostly because I didn't speak Spanish. Whew did I get yelled at a lot. One guy at a Panamanian IT cafe called me out when I asked for the password in English. He shouted: "You come here with all your money and expect us to do everything for you and you can't even speak our language?" Yikes. Whoops. He was 100% right.

TBH, because of that incident I'm still embarrassed to this day when I have to travel to a country for work and can only speak the few phrases I crammed on the plane, and then have to point or speak English.
youtube has recently been implementing download speed throttling on some video downloads. See: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326 . Youtube-dl does not yet have a solution for this occasional download speed throttling.

This yt-dlp fork has a workaround (though not a true fix) for the issue: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecom...

I didn't realise Apple had started making good laptops again. The last good machine I had from them was a 2015.
What procedures does the military have in place for when a high-ranking officer's mental acuity takes a steep dive? I'm curious about how that plays out.
I would definitely advise my kids to take that into account when deciding on a life partner. I watched my mom waste all her best years caring for super old in laws for nearly 3 decades. I remember her venting to me on our grocery trips how she had no life, and I knew she watched all her friends and women family members that had better in law situations live with much better quality of life.
I'm not sure what you mean by an unassembled bow here, or more specifically, what the bow is that you're referring to. People have worries that this could lead everything from to identifying dissidents that might be in possession of specific photos to identifying copyrighted materials on your device whether they were going to iCloud or not.

The construction of the system negates both of these things. It matters if it's tied to iCloud or not. Otherwise it is 'scanning' your system, which in this case, isn't something that is actually built anymore than it could be built at any time. It's not like Apple can't build whatever software/hardware it wants or needs. This was just as true before as it is now.

To me the bigger issue is the worry about what hashes will it be... will that expand past the intersection of two CP databases. Maybe? Maybe not? But that risk was the same before (or even worse since it could have been done fully in secret and targeted to specific individuals or regions) on a pure server-side solution. All this work isn't being done just to save some CPU cycles in Apple datacenter.

>And to what end? What value would such a feature provide when the first end has been compromised?

I don't understand your question, and I don't fully understand your compromised position. If the concern is finding all kinds of bad things on your phone independent of this CP thing, that always could have been the case and what was built isn't enough for that (it's hashes not classifiers, the db is distributed to the entire world and verifiable that its the same on all devices, you could always see the network traffic despite turning off iCloud services, etc).
It does, it shows up as a "Other YouTube features" for the source.

Though, YouTube seems to do some aggressive deduping here, if I download from 5 different IPs, excluding the IP I'm logged into YouTube's services, I see 5 views. If I download 50 times from one IP, I see one view.
I can't agree with that from a personal level.
I have used KDE Plasma for a few years now and I really don't care much at all about software freedom.

Proof-of-Stake? I thought that PoStake still cranked out blocks at a fixed rate (say, every few minutes), and presumably the block size could be increased to increase throughput, if not latency.
Francium is the one I always think about. My understanding is the only source is as a decay product (probably from uranium) and that there's somewhere on the order of one ounce of it in the entire planet at any given time.

Not only that, but it's only true francium if it comes from France.
At that point, it would seem more sensible to just define a list of values that are represented by each possible 8-bit number, and use LUTs for operations. Why even torture this exponent and mantissa concept down to 8 bits when one can have a domain specific set of representable numbers that have exactly the properties that are needed.
By the commenter, you must be referring to yourself.

Over half of the working age disabled were employed before the passing of the ADA and that number went down after the passing of the ADA. Seeing as being employed often (but not always) involves going into public, and is a key measure of integration with the public, I'd say the disabled were far from "pretty much" not going anywhere in public before passing of the ADA.

In fact one could argue the ADA harmed integration in public of the disabled by the side effect that it lowered their employment.
Regular state-employed cops can and often do employ largely the same strategy but on a much bigger scale.
> IRC does one thing and does it well.

Unfortunately, the one thing that it does well (chat, and nothing else) is supported by a dozen things that it does terribly, and support for them has been hacked on top of the chat features in most places.

Bouncers, persistency, rich media (youtube/twitter/image embeds come to mind), mobile accessibility, presence, the ease of channel ownership... these are all things that IRC lacks. Users don't want to switch from their chat app to their imaging sharing app to send a friend a picture inline. IRC works great where people are willing to put in the work to make it great for themselves individually, but the people Discord appeals to aren't really like that.
I don't think I ever said that an EMT would amputate your finger. I said that you might get further injuries. For instance: embedded Tungsten fragments or in case of a prolonged problem removing the ring further tissue damage.
> obviously they will not mind Apple scanning their photos to prevent horrific crimes

But Apple scanning all phones for CSAM makes it look like you're guilty unless proven otherwise. It's not even about preventing crimes -- Apple will only flag your device if it has a photo from the CSAM database. In that sense, the most horrific part of the crime, i.e., the abuse of a child, has happened already.

My understanding is that the most common use of adverse possession is something like I have a dock on the property line. That dock has been there for 20 years, but my neighbor sells their property and the survey shows the dock is over the line by 6 inches.

By adverse possession, I get that 6 inches of property and don't have to move the dock.

Every metal mentioned has someone talking about losing a finger. Do you work for a silicone ring company?
> But what if it's an investment property? What if the squatters have been there long enough to have their ID say the address?

If you own the property, then that's public record and can be easily looked up. Once they verify you own the place, police are going to believe you if you say these people are squatters not renters, and they'll have trouble producing documents otherwise. I'd also love to know what percentage of squatters end up getting IDs with addresses to places they don't own, which also requires btw proof of residence (deed AND other forms like a utility bill with your name on it).
If your violence isn’t working it means you just aren’t using enough of it.
Romania. You can get a decent flat for 200euros/mo. 1gb/s internet + tv channels is only 10 euro which is high quality stuff compared to other places. Corrupt country/political system but you shouldn't be disturbed by that.
No way the estimate is real for Tbilisi. For €1047/mo you'd be living like a king there. Especially with post-Covid prices.
But it is not designed, period. It just is. It has no purpose, no goal, no intent -- which is good, too, since the final destination of any and all of it might the heat death of the universe.
That's what the government does already with the police / court system / lawmaking.
You pay taxes for protection. In the past they were at least removing squatters. We're at a point where they don't even bother doing their job.

Any use of violence need opposing and competing forces in a market to work.

Judging by the quality of service, it obviously doesn't work when the government has a monopoly of legal violence.

As you mentioned, having people doing it illegally is prone to the creation of a black market.
Black markets need to stay hidden so they'll have lower standards and generally a worse experience for everyone involved.
If there wasn't any control on these "big guys", eventually someone would come up with a way to broadcast these "big guys" reputation. Someone could easily hire some other "big guys" to keep the other ones in check.
Cybercrime triathlete jailed for 11 years over trio of online scams
Congratulations on finishing your first MVP, it's difficult to do with the obligations of everyday life.

Some food for thought:

1. There are a lot of screeners out there, and most of the data itself is not valuable. You have to scrub some subset of data for interesting things to stand out based on your criteria.

But most of that criteria is widely common.

Consider: Adding additional filters which prepopulate common screening criteria. You have two so far, but maybe you can think of more.

2. There are a lot of data points that are far more important than some quick statistics you can pull off of data brokers.

For instance, almost no screener provides CAGR on stocks. But a lot of people want to know what the CAGR was for the last 1, 3, 5, 10, 10+ years for a given equity. It's a stupidly common metric. No one provides it.

I imagine for options, there are other very commonly discussed metrics people really care about, versus things like the Greeks.

Consider: Find out what those metrics are that no one provides, calculate them, then provide them.

Ultimately, software that helps you do a job better is OK. Software that does your job is great. Do great.
I don't get this argument.

Homelessness is not a problem home owners should solve. It's absurd to think the solution is simply moving homeless people into unoccupied homes. We should address the root societal, economic and often personal causes of homelessness to begin with: lack of jobs, low income / unaffordable housing, mental health, etc.

What you're proposing is limiting prosperity for successful people, while allowing scammers like squatters to prosper instead. Why should I work to own a home if I can just take over someone else's?

Wealth inequality is a problem, but this is not the way to fix it.
> Say I get $90,000 to go buy a house, I spend the $90,000 and have 1 door. I get a tenant in it and they make a $90,000 down payment.

Why wouldn't the tenant spend $90,000 on the house themselves, cutting out the middleman?
You make it sound as if that's good news.

If you buy a house outright and don't blow tons of money every month on stupid crap you don't actually need like eating out and cinema and clubbing, you can add large swathes of the United States and Western Europe to the list. Ireland, for example-- perfectly feasible, just not in Dublin.
A lot of people complain when a new luxury apartment tower goes up because it gets filled with rich people, but surely that would mean that all the existing average housing just got cleared out by all of these rich people leaving and is now freed for less wealthy people.

> This is absolutely hilarious. "Blatant misinformation" like "COVID-19 vaccines are not safe". (...)

Instead of venting your frustration, can you provide any evidence supporting your belief that any of the major vaccines is not safe?

Entire countries have already distributed at least the first dose to the vast majority of their population. If your belief had any merit or basis on reality, you have already a pool of hundreds of million of people who took the vaccine to gather evidence.

And where is the evidence?

I would dare say that the main risk associated with any of the major COVID-19 vaccines is presented by antivaxers who have been caught tampering with vaccination drives.
I bought a usb adapter with the penguin on it. I don't even know what it is called.

That was 5 years ago and I never looked back. I think that adapter is the secret key. Once you have that it doesn't make sense why you wouldn't use KDE Plasma.

I literally only know LS MKDIR and then conda commands. I don't know what any folder does outside of /home. I don't care about these things. Everything has always just worked and if something breaks I can reinstall in about 10 minutes.

I've rarely actually experienced this (even on HDD based machines). Sometimes the system will chug if a runaway JavaScript somewhere leaks all available memory, but I can usually switch (slowly) to a terminal, kill the offending process, and after a minute or two things will sort themselves out and be fast again. I suspect Ubuntu and them may have pathological kernel VMM and swap settings out of the box.

Lately I've been running with "swappiness" turned way down, but not with completely disabled swap. Eh, I've got 32 GiB of RAM now, my system can handle a few programs in memory -- even a couple of Electron ones.
Yes. I have 0 intentions of purchasing a different laptop and instead will use Linux to prolong its lifespan.
There is a solution, if you want to live near a city, you get high density housing / towers. If you want to live in a remote town, you get low density single houses.

It makes no sense to reserve city space for single level buildings.

There are some crazy cool electric mopeds and motorcycles now too (6k watts+). Small, <100 lbs, 50 mph, 30 miles+ range, full suspension, nearly silent... so fun. Seems like they fly under the radar enough to not attract attention but are still ridden around on the roads unplated or in the bike lanes. Personally I don't care but some people get mad at that stuff. I'm of the opinion that its one less car on the road. Maybe some infrastructure will be dedicated to those types of vehicles because riding on the roads is just too dangerous considering that the flow of traffic in California is often 60+ mph on regular sized throughways.

Chrom(e|ium) runs just fine on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GiB, so I think it's the web getting bloated.
It also sounds like the rent-control in Sweden isn't like that in other places. TFA at least implies:

1. It is universal

2. Rates are collectively negotiated between landlords and tenants

This is more like a renters union that there is a 9 year waitlist to join than typical rent control.

The impression I get is that Sweden has fewer people sharing flats and more affordable flat rents (adjusted for income) than most places in western Europe.
Don’t forget MacOS last year or so, would bypass firewalls and VPNs, and Apple said “oops”. That was probably is a hook that was accidentally exposed.

Do what I did and switch to Signal wholesale. Or at least to Telegram. Both have really nice desktop clients on Linux. Move to Brave Search as well - it has its own index and it's easily on par with Google in my experience.

I still have a few people on Messages, but they contact me through my iPhone, so I'm not losing anything. It baffles me why anyone on this site would use services that are not available across all major platofrms.
It's a self solving problem though. If businesses _need_ janitors and there are very few janitors around, those remaining ones can charge very high rates for their work.

Then you either pay very high rates for basic labor or you push the government to build cheaper housing. It all fixes it self.
Visualizations are tough. It seems there is always a visualization you can use to show the story you are trying to tell, almost like "p-hacking", but "chart searching."

For this data, I'm not at all clear on why a standard line chart isn't better. I'll confess, I don't find these charts bad; I just don't see them as clearer than the standard charts. What is the specific advantage?

The commentary on lag of reporting being a surprise is, itself, surprising at this point. That was a big point of contention earlier, but I'm not sure I have seen it pan out in a way that matters.

I'm torn on the commentary of the failure of governments. Policy choices have been very hard with more emotion driving choices than analyzed results. I'm personally in the bend of "be overly cautious," but I also get an uneasy feeling in just how little control there is in comparisons. About the only thing I know not to do now, is get cocky for any region and assume that anyone is already through this.
The vaccine is highly effective at preventing severe disease requiring hospitalization, but nothing is 100% (after 6 months, Pfizer is 97% effective at preventing severe disease) -- I'm not going to deliberately expose myself to something that could put me in a hospital.

And no point, really. If I'm going to force myself to have the disease to build up immunity, why not just wait until I'm accidentally exposed (which may not happen)?
Covid is like roaches, there's never just one. One case turns up, but meanwhile that individual infected dozens others who are not symptomatic yet. But with a lockdown the contagion spreads less quickly, and you can do contact tracing and isolate the affected people. Indeed, the headline from two days ago is "Delta outbreak spreading rapidly as cases jump"

Meanwhile at my regional institution the students are beginning to grumble. Let's go back online, they say, too many instructors cancel lecture because they are sick with covid and too many students can't attend class because they in bed with covid. That's what excess freedom looks like.
