You are redefining the existing styles, not defining your own styles.
One tactic is for them to have a "deed of sale" on hand. They show it to the cops and the cops tell you to get out, and settle it in court. Never mind that real property isn't transferred quite like that, or that you have state id that matches the address. The cops just take the "deed" at face value and kick you out.
Where do people live that can’t afford to buy a house? There will be nothing to rent.
Ah yes the Customer Select jumper, fun times.
I loaded it up in game and it proceeded to instantly make my VR experience go down to 10 FPS. I did manage to get a selfie of the Linux boot though: https://twitter.com/theprincessxena/status/14310429360457154...
The fix is actually simple: shoot at a light bulb. It will think you always hit. I figured this out accidentally as a kid one day when I was randomly firing around the room and hit a duck.
Somewhat-tangentially related: I’ve always found the concept of [Rods from God](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment) (kinetic bombardment of tungsten rods dropped from orbit) fascinating.
I actually think I will, as long as it will work with the right bands here in Aus — I’ll do some research!
Covid has been a godsend for many with parents rotting in expensive nursing homes.
These are "electric mopeds and motorcycles", legal street vehicles that are operated on streets, not bike lanes or sidewalks. They fit in the same niche as 49cc scooters and 125cc motorcycles, and are quieter and cleaner.
Your reasoning is only sensible if both parties were on equal footing. They are not. The settlers will offer as little as they can get away with, and the settled will take whatever they can get.

This situation is not symmetrical.

Plugin collects users Google OpenID and number of characters used for summarization. No emails or other personal information is collected

Summarization request gets proxied to the Huggingface Inference API. According to https://huggingface.co/inference-api they claim to protect the data and not share it with third parties.

On examples - thank you for the comment, I'm thinking of recording a video and improving screenshots etc. Right now it's the earliest launch to hear people opinions

I'm not sure if the model can dismiss facts. From BART model paper:

"Because BART has an autoregressive decoder, it can be directly fine tuned for sequence generation tasks such as abstractive question answering and summarization. In both of these tasks, information is copied from the input but manipulated, which is closely related to the denoising pre-training objective."

"Information is copied but manipulated" - idk if it can lead to the factual mistakes and disinformation. Knowledgable opinions are best welcomed!
> It’s fine as a replacement for Word (I guess? I’m not much of a Word user).

Google Docs is to Word what Google Sheets is to Excel in terms of functionality. As long as what you're doing is simple, it's fine, and if what you're doing requires collaboration, it's great. But when you want to do something remotely complex, Docs and Sheets largely get their asses handed to them by Apple's free iWork apps, let alone Microsoft Office.
Supreme Court blocks Biden's Covid eviction ban
Maybe it was a different time and/or environment, but that couldn't be furthered from the truth according to my experience — even if I read that as a metaphorical door.

Many of the people I have worked for/with who are amazing in objectively measurable ways, including fame, appear to balance their open- and closed- door times well.

If you're just chasing after fame and want to work on what "everyone" thinks is important, then I don't disagree that keeping your door opened and getting "all kinds of interruptions" is likely the way to go.

Also anecdotally, the "forever-open-door" people I have worked with who are always talking about "important problems" to solve; have huge networks; and are hopping from collaboration to collaboration working on a completely different domain of expertise every other year: they seem important to the community but, often on closer inspection, they don't actually produce much that is of substance.

Edit: added "I don't disagree" for clarity.
If Adobe Premiere ran on linux I would use it. But because it doesn't, I can't use linux, and that's all there really is to it for my particular use case. Any kind of big multifaceted analysis of linux is irrelevant to people like me.

I tried installing Ubuntu studio, the OS marketed for "creatives", and the first part of the experience is incoherent dialogs asking you to manually type the number of bytes you want your linux partition to have. You have to type in an 15 digit number or something not knowing how severe the consequences might be if you get this number wrong. Maybe you'll just waste a lot of time, maybe your computer hard drive might get fucked up and become unusable (until you invest even more time in learning how to fix it). I was repulsed and stopped trying to install it. I don't have enough free time. I installed ubuntu back in 2010 and I don't remember it being so bad. Maybe my priorities in life changed. I'd love to be a linux guru but I don't have time.
It hasn't been updated in a couple years now, but `gpredict` is a nice desktop program that will show projections of satellite orbits and predict upcoming passes.

I worked as a cog in the ISS program for three years and every ex-Soviet or Russian employee we had working for us would agree with the comment you're responding to- I totally understand how it seems like a rude comment but it's grounded in reality.
You think this is clever, but you actually come across as though you have no clue what you're talking about. We are operating under the same definition of robustness, can't believe that your first reaction is to act like I don't understand what robustness means.

You on the other hand, have no explanation whatsoever as to why you think a non-HD map system is robust everywhere compared to a HD map system. If you claim that HD maps are less robust by definition, you clearly do not understand deep learning or computer vision.
iOS Siri share suggestions should be disabled by default
As it you can be two errant touches away from sharing whatever webpage you are visiting with a random contact. Today for example I shared a HN page with somebody from work. People outside the IT industry think "hacker" is a nefarious word. This is absurd that your phone in your pocket can butt-share whatever web page you have open with a random contact.
Yes. I don't recall which version support was added in, but a recent Windows 10 release build using WSL 2 can coexist with both VirtualBox and VMware Workstation.
I have proposed this some years ago (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/14646), but it didn't get much attention from the maintainers. It has been previously rejected in 2013 already (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/1185).
It is more difficult, and no, WSL2/WSL is not linux. You see how much it is not linux when you try to do things like install a job scheduler, or a development environment (hint, try to use vscode gui in WSL2, watch the message you get).

Real desktop linux has been, and is, a thing. I've been using Linux as my primary business desktop for more than 20 years. Yes, really.

Now, in the industry I'm in, I am forced into a windows 10 environment. Which I do the best I can to push out of the way, so I can have a real machine. MobaXterm to provide a single root X window. XFCE4 for windowing, Plank for a dock. WSL2 (unfortunately) underneath, running an older RHEL (not my choice). Looks/feels mostly like a linux box.

I use it for dev/testing/analytics/data science. File access is still as slow as sin, network performance is terrible. Windows apps are unstable, and will take down the machine from time to time.

I am pushing for a linux laptop/desktop as I am far more productive in that desktop environment. Since most of our work is linux based, this makes sense.
I agree. Recently all these launches appear to be driven by the demographics of these founders than any real quality products. I guess in the name of "diversity". In fact, there was a thread here and at reddit sometime back about YC funding some student(s) for a product that shows a calendar in your MacOS dock/taskbar. What stood out there was the demographic of the "founders". When that point was made in the comments, here at HN, those posts were flagged and disappeared.
Seems hypocritical and inconsistent.

Why are harmful drug addictions a choice acceptable to discriminate against, but not a harmful food addiction I wonder? Probably because of the huge number of overweight making it socially and politically expedient to have their costs subsidized by others, whereas smokers are a much smaller minority so it's easy to discriminate against them.
Not sure about consoles, but Steam solves that by ranking recent reviews and those submitted by players with more game time as more relevant.
I would like to have the luxury to call myself a NIMBY. One day, maybe. Unfortunately building more housing won't mean I can afford a house. But I wish it would.
Lol, few things trigger my OCD more than misspelled words in identifiers. I legit missed important use case while amending legacy system just because someone decided to have “priveleges” in the variable name. I hope all those ways to spell number 90 are part of the joke.
> better investment than handing your money to organized crime

it is, but this investment is costly, because it takes a lot of time and effort, with no real guarantee of success, and when you are eventually successful, other people could easily free-ride off your investment (since it's a non-excludable outcome).

So what a "rational" actor would do is wait for someone else to expend their resources doing this, while they themselves pay to gangs/organized crime to obtain their own property back in the mean time.
Building more housing won't solve that.
You kid but they are a list of “tiers” that get localized.
Dude, this is #RAD, if the kids at Reddit's WallStreetBets get a hold of this, your hosting bill will soar to $500/month!

Good job, you got your MVP, now it's time for some Customer Development. Who knows, there's a pivot in your future.
There are many PoW coins other than ETH, but is those price keep high? I think why ETH price high is it's widely used and funtional.

It's probably a matter of moderation. Having the door closed all the time has a set of potential problems but so has having the open all the time as we have found working in open offices. I like interacting with people but I also need to be able to have peace from time to time. A door allows me to choose when I want to interact and when I need peace.
I’m a consultant for large companies, exactly one of the last 5 projects i’ve been on used gsuite. Throughout my career I’ve seen gsuite used at 3 of some 30 companies. Where do you get this idea that everybody wants and loves to use Google software?
How do you get the size of the struct? Is there a compiler command to do that?

Canadaland did a great series on the pathology of Vancouver real estate recently [1]. TL;DL there is no consensus on the root cause, but the usual suspects of bureaucracy, NIMBYism and foreign investment all make an appearance.

What most people think of as Linus is really GNU/Linux, and while I don't think the distinction usually needs to be made, it's actually important in this case because it makes it obvious there is no one "thing" to infect and change. Linux is a commodity, and open, and we're in no threat of major problems like that than we are of someone jacking up the price on ibuprofen. The solution is the same in both cases, someone else will offer a better alternative because there's nothing forcing you to use the bad offering.
> If you can assume one side thought a settlement is better than an outcome via trial, can you also assume the other side thought so too?

No. The cost factor has higher weight on one side of that equation. Apple is one of the largest companies on earth, with an expert and carefully curated legal team. The other side is a loose association of individual interests.

Unless you believe that the legal process is absolutely fair, and that its outcomes are in no way related to the opposing parties' "legal burn rate". In that case, your reasoning is correct.

But that is not the case.
Induced demand is really interesting, and most people aren't aware of it.

It applies to things like traffic, and yes, housing.

If building more housing lowered rents, I could finally afford a place in NYC, or LA, or SF. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. But I wish it did.
The vaccine is effectively a small part of the virus, for the immune system to learn to recognise. The virus itself has many parts for which an immune response can be developed.
I think people underestimate how much work it is to find and report security issues... Including the unpaid labor of training...

Anyway, seems like an NFT with the instructions would've sold for far more than 40k...
Everything that is done with a platform dependent app can be done with a platform independent web app. I don't know what the best way out of this is but app stores were a step back. Your phone could have one app...a web browser and maybe a few utilities like a calculator, calendar, clock. Even these could be implemented as web apps running in the browser.
This. If my entire workflow were codewriting, I'd be thrilled to go over to a Linux desktop and never look back. Unfortunately about 30% of my work is dependent on being able to work with assets in Adobe formats (including compiling and maintaining older Air apps). On top of that, one thing that "just works" on the Mac is peripheral setup. Audio interfaces, Wacom tablets, printers... plug and play. I'm
not sure I could make every peripheral I use work under Ubuntu, but even researching it quickly turns into a days long quest on various vendors' message boards. On the other hand I am deeply, deeply angry about what Apple is doing, and I'm not going to buy any new Apple hardware unless they reverse course on this privacy violation. If I have to deal with all the headaches of Linux and keep an old Apple around just for compiling old stuff or recording music, so be it.

[edit] I'd like to add that my private devices have been exclusively on Mac since the Mac SE around 1992, my company is exclusively on Mac, my clients buy Macs for internal use because we write their internal apps for them, and overall I've been responsible for purchasing somewhere around 100 Macs. I know they don't care and have never cared about my opinion as a customer, but their interests aligned with mine. Now they appear not to.
Might depend what you mean by motivation. I'm using it to mean both your enjoyment of the work and your desire for its outcome. So I see it as a function of that. Having more of one could offset the lack of the other, but ideally you'd have plenty of both.

If you really like doing something, you'll get good at it, and some stuff might not involve other work you might not like. For example, there's a game I really like playing, I'm quite good at it, I don't care for any outcome, just like doing the work, so putting in time and effort to get good was pretty easy.

Other things, I really want the outcome, I'll go out of my way, do things I don't really like doing, because I'm motivated by the result, still feels easy because of that.

Now, okay, sometimes there's some things you really hate doing, but it's needed for something you want. I think those are the tricky one, because you need to remind yourself of your goal, how much you want it, and all that, but what you're doing there is motivating yourself. So ya, in my view, motivation is key.
A non absentee landlord lives on the same land as the rental unit.
This is outrageous. I'm making a text editor / game where you have a mechanical typewriter, and I've mused quite a few times about giving someone a beige computer running linux inside the game at some point, but it's all seemed unreasonable / impossible..

With this it's suddenly reasonable (if expensive performance wise) Thank you for this, haha.
Mind = Blown!
if it's easy why does LA throw a billion USD at it every year and have the worst homeless problem in the country?

Where I live, the homelessness is seasonal -- they don't stick around for the winters. But when they are here, they subsist by stealing pretty much whatever they can get their hands on. When they relocate, they leave behind immense amounts of refuse. These are not individuals who are down on their luck but tramps who embrace the lifestyle. No functional adult would behave in such a destructive and careless manner.

It is actually incredibly difficult to convince people they should participate in society.
Also, it's CosmosDB - it has a certain reputation internally in the Azure org...
Ok, I just doublechecked and I must state that the cursor does appear again if I shake violently the remote (never noticed this since I bought the TV hehe) - if I just move it, put it into my pocket and run with it etc... it does not appear. (btw my TV model is "OLED55C6V", not sure if it's relevant, just fyi)

Maybe it's a matter about setting the cursor "sensitivity" (or something similar)? In the "[TV options] -> Accessibility -> Pointer Options -> Tracking speed" mine is currently set to "slow". I did set it to "high" but in my case it did not make any difference (once I pushed twice the down/up arrow keys it did not reappear unless I actively shaked the remote)... :(

I did install all SW-updates that were available so far for that TV, but I had the same behaviour already in its original "unboxed" state... .

Renting is for the poor. No one else thinks otherwise.
A bit of an aside from the topic of the original article.

I'm beginning to think ruminants are often shown in a poor light by common statistics. And not due to deceit, just reliance of simplistic statistics that do not tell the whole story.

Take the graph showing a cow requires 31.7kgs of food to produce 1kg of meat. But this can be (but sometimes not) all grass which is indigestible to all the other animals here.
Pigs and Chickens are at 10.2kg feed/kg meat and 4.2kg feed/kg meat, but this is generally all food which is digestible by humans. Fish are at 2.3kg feed/kg meat, but the fish humans eat almost all naturally eat animals for feed.

Another graph in this shows that maybe 60% of land in the US is used for grazing. This doesn't mean that this land could be used for growing crops. Often ruminants are grazing on marginal land that isn't good for growing other foods.

Similarly methane from ruminants digestion is considered the same as methane from a gas wells for most climate change modelling. But it seems to me that over the 20 year lifetime of methane in the atmosphere, a fixed heard of ruminants would have a fixed amount of methane in the atmosphere. While methane from fossil fuels is more carbon put back into the carbon cycle just seems objectively much more damaging.

Also a smaller portion of their feed ruminants consume would naturally turn into methane if it hadn't been eaten by farmed ruminants.

I've cut back on the amount of red meat that I am eating, but I still think that a more holistic look at ruminants would probably have them looking better than some simple statistics make them look.

My bias is that I grew up on a farm. I am fond of cows and sheep and I would be sad if they went away. I want them treated well, but don't mind them being slaughtered for food.
Java was supposed to "write once, run anywhere". Instead it became write once, debug anywhere.
I know every founder who raises venture capital wants to create a unicorn. But to greatly inflate sales figures is stupid and easily discovered.

How can you be so talented as to create a startup worth hundreds of millions of dollars and still feel it isn't enough?

Update: I always thought that VC's did due diligence and that was how this guy was caught. Nope, apparently someone told the board of directors after they raised the B round from Tiger!

HDCP is one method, as are the “safeguards” built in to the audio and video APIs on macOS (to protect them from losing revenue by recording iTunes Music (before they removed DRM) or screen capturing new movies (thus threatening the contracts with Hollywood).
Network effect. That is what I blame it on. Once people all have to go to the same place, they are trapped and the owner of that place can do what they like.

And what is the network effect really? The fact that people can't find each other easily on the network.

If we had an easy way to find each others devices directly I could send a "FB Post" directly to my friendship circle rather than via FB.

Maybe instead of a DNS we need a PublicKey <-> IP address system.
