Thank you very much - I think that shows that (for the US):

- in 2015 there were an estimated 118,290k housing units

- in 2017 there were an estimated 121,560k housing units

- in 2019 there were an estimated 124,135k housing units

(note that the majority of these -- more than 70,000k in each case -- are single, detached houses)

Those are quite useful starting factors - roughly one housing unit per three persons in the population, and roughly 5% growth in capacity over four years.

The next few steps would be to match those against population and property price trends, check for correlations, and perhaps narrow and regionalize the data to look for any notable outliers.

(not sure when I'll get to those, but it'll be a good learning experience I'm sure)
Yes, it likely means killing people who think of themselves as patriots. However, many people who work for oppressive governments genuinely think of themselves as patriots. I do not see why it matters whether using firearms against a government means killing patriots or not. Many of the people who worked for Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union to oppress their fellow citizens were patriots by the standard meaning of the word.
Ask yourself - is there a difference between a small company acquiring another competitor and a large monopoly acquiring a competitor? They’re both acquisitions. Same event at two different market conditions attract two different reactions by regulators.

To answer your question - when developing for Apple went from being a choice to a necessity to run your business.
Maybe the Safari team can consider implementing the existing specs that everyone else is supporting for years, before going overboard with stuff like this.

Anyone with a law license have insight as to Zoom and other teleconferencing violating habeas corpus? Without physically seeing the person, it is much easier to hand out punishments.
Why would they ever want to?

When you become oversocialized, you start to be subservient to the global world - you begin to think in terms of "we" for all of humanity.

Some questions worth asking:

1. Did all alleged parties agreed to be involved?

2. What is the purpose in banding together? What does everyone get out of it?

3. If you somehow solve world hunger, for example, for the 7 billion people on Earth, what do you do when that number reaches 10 billion, or 20, etc? What are your requirements for someone to be receiving these alms? Does the criminal receive the same?

4. What do you do when the mothers and fathers of these new children have absolutely no regard for their offspring? Is it a problem of the state? Again, refer back to question one. Is it within the interest of all of the parties to continue to support people who are too indifferent to prepare a future for their next of kin?

5. Beyond vague appeals to "world good" and all, I mean, sincerely, do you not see that these issues will persist no matter what you do?

If we're going to throw around "shoulds" and "should nots," then how about, "Man should not be ready to show that he can live like a badly-fed animal."

I guess the most vexing thing for me: What does it even mean to fix something as vague as capitalism? Why should I expect anyone to help me, or for me to expect help from anyone else? Appealing to a common good just means you've been duped
If the government can turn around and argue that Apple and Google, etc., are monopolizing the market for apps and that their rate of 30% is too high and unfair to developers, what on earth makes them think that they are suddenly entitled to an increasing percentage of a person's earnings simply because they have more than someone else?
I assume car sellers - especially for used cars - are negotiating in bad faith. It definitely seems to make the process less efficient. Standard advice is to get a car inspected by your own mechanic before purchasing. Dealers disclosing the results of an inspection and being trustworthy would be a more efficient process - it would avoid redundant inspections by multiple prospective buyers, and it would avoid people wasting their time on cars in condition that they didn't want to deal with, and it would avoid people who don't know how to play the game getting ripped off.
This tracks exactly with my experience. I'm in my 40s and my pitch is definitely no longer perfect -- it's close, though? It's not uncommon for me to be semitone off these days.

Is this a studied aspect of perfect pitch? I've never read about it but, talking to friends, it seems like a common experience.
They want to call it a successor to the m68040 / m68060, but they're more interested in adding incompatible instructions than they are in finishing emulation.

Not a fan of yet another target for Amiga software - we already have 68000, '020+, PowerPC AmigaOS, PowerPC MorphOS, PowerPC WarpUp, PowerPC PowerUp... And now they want to add "68080"? No, thank you.
The post I replied to implied metals and rare earth materials were being thrown away. That is the part I doubt.

For materials like the blades, we need to compare this to alternatives. The lack of recycling may be insignificant compared to the amount of materials consumed by non-renewable power sources (e.g. coal, oil), purely in terms of environmental impact from mining the materials, let alone GHG emissions.
yes but no .. seems like a weird rule that makes it harder to understand and read. A flow of default, exception, exception is easier to follow. And What if you have odd even, every third etc etc ..
Why not self-host the registry? I do it and have done it at quite a few places.

It often matters to the people making these statements, is my point.

I haven't expressed my opinion about it, I'm just saying that the folks suggesting using firearms to "stop tyranny" very rarely know what they're actually saying.

Some do.
Nah, you’re missing the point entirely I think and you’re trying to use language devices to create a straw man.

You wouldn’t be defending yourself from patriots. Patriots wouldn’t take up arms against an oppressed citizenship they swore to protect. You’re logic says the SS were patriots. They were not (even if their government found them to be lawful) and anyone who shot them as they raided an innocent persons home is a hero. There are innumerable examples of this throughout history and I’d argue is the default state of power historically.

Machiavelli wrote hundreds of years ago that liberty can only be secured by the passion of a citizenry. That a paid militia can never secure it in the long run. This type of philosophy is in part what 2a is premised on.

I don’t think most anyone says we need to be armed so we can threaten violence if we don’t get our way on an arbitrary issue. I’m not saying Australia doesn’t pass this particular law if society is armed. But I do think I’d feel better about the direction the government is going if I knew my neighbors were armed.
Long term health should absolutely be prioritized. However, given resources are limited (especially people's attention span), we should prioritize the highest impact, lowest cost opportunities to return back to our previous normal.

It's easier to move the needle with vaccinations and masks, compared to obesity and smoking - both of which have been in the crosshairs of public health officials for decades. They're just harder to move in the short term.

> Are there similar improvements in household appliances like irons?

Some examples that I know of:

- modern robot vacuums, that can mop, use LIDAR etc. We have a pretty decent one, it works OK, but we still have to vacuum by ourselves every 2 weeks or so.

- battery operated vacuums, irons, hair dryers etc.

- smart homes -- automaticcally setting heat, window blinds

- tons of gimmicky stuff like smart fridges, or water taps with touch screens.

But I'd consider these just some quality of life improvements, not major time savers like washing things by hand vs a washing machine. IMO the next big thing will be household 3D printers when someone finds out how to make them safe and reliable for everyday use by non-technical people.
Do you have a recent source on the head injury / death row connection? I am not doubting you but curious. I can find a study of 15 people from the early 2000’s but is there anything more recent and with a larger sample size?

Hypocritical to call the FDA claims baseless when you provide no basis for your claim that it would prevent many of these stories.

From what I've read the in vitro response requires something like 100x the safe dose for a human, which causes many other health issues. The in vivo response hasn't even been studied, unless you have some information I don't?
Plenty of us are still libertarian and think for ourselves. (Including you, I’d guess.)

Every platform is likely to eventually reflect the most common forms of groupthink from the culture. The reason I love HN is that I regularly see counter points and good perspective here that I simply don’t see anywhere else.
Alternately: sounds like the point about adversarial relations stands; a more collaborative culture prioritizing the success of the business (the collective interest) might have yielded a less expensive reboot.
I think GP must be referring to Scalia's vote in Salinas v. Texas, which decided that a defendant's silence can be used against them at trial unless they specifically invoked their 5th amendment right to be quiet.
The issue with this approach seems to be that hiring is fundamentally broken - hiring managers haven't really found a process with a high correlation of "good interview performance" = "good worker". I've personally been burnt a ton of times by remote people who knocked the interview process out of the park and then just didn't deliver and it's difficult to tell for quite a while without some kind of micro-managey framework in place.

With enterprise I'm playing more with averages so that one person on the team that may not be carrying their weight isn't going to drag down the entire business. For a startup where it's more critical that everybody be firing on all cylinders it makes sense they want to have more control and accountability to make sure their limited resources are being spent appropriately.
Unless the journal only accept papers on logic itself, there's no way in which the criteria can be only "quality of argument". If one is making arguments about the real, one has to begin with assumptions that are plausible rather than certain and go from there. And what an editor considers plausible varies by what intellectual, political, scientific or whatever tradition they begin with.
> Arthur von Pelt, another obsessed anti Craig personality

Being angry about an obvious fraud who lobs obviously baseless $6 billion dollar lawsuits against retirees who were once volunteer Bitcoin developers isn't obsession, it's humanity.

> Things like the double hash for instance, funnily enough after Craig explained the double hash it was subsequently altered in the BTC wiki.

Actual history: Some random person wrote on the BitcoinWiki on some obscure page that sha256(sha256(x)) might be used in bitcoin to improve security against collisions a few years later this claim was noticed and removed with a link to a 2011 post on Bitcointalk that pointed out that any collision on H(x) is also a collision on H(H(x)). The text on the wiki was just incorrect, the author was likely confusing collision and preimage security or at least really unclear in their writing-- that's just one of the risks of public wikis.

Wright started running around repeating this point someone else made on BCT in 2011, pretending to have come up with it himself, and suggesting that knowing about this thing (which obvious and common understanding long before Bitcoin existed) was somehow evidence of him being Bitcoin's creator. Craig didn't "explain" anything that wasn't already explained in detail within the Bitcoin community before Craig ever heard of Bitcoin, and known outside of the Bitcoin community long before Bitcoin existed.

Going back to 2011 people have given many explanations as to why the use of sha256(sha256()) in Bitcoin had potential advantages, in some corner cases.

Wright hasn't added a single thing to that discussion, and some of his attempts to do so have just been flat out incorrect. For example, for a while he was claiming that it was done that way so that parties could give miners transactions to mine without disclosing the transaction to them (a really bad idea), but that works just as well if sha256() is used.
Don't remember hearing about Rocket Internet firms having works council's or recognition agreements.
Pamphlets? In 2021? Really? I think if the only way labor organizers can reasonably notify members and potential members of goings-on is via pamphlets, there's something wrong here.
“Policy made my job slightly harder so because I know better than the netsec team who clearly has or should have unlimited time and resources to help me I will do what I want anyways, and put the organization at risk.”

I agree with you about why shadow IT exists, but most IT departments are spread so thin that expecting them to be super responsive to anything but the most critical business projects is often totally unreasonable.

Then they have to waste even more time hunting down idiots setting up Tor nodes on their internal networks.
I've been using my Garmin for this and though the absolute numbers may be slightly off, it's useful to have a running track for reference to what it says you are.
While you can maintain one or two people out of this market, it won’t be much more than that.

The Amiga community will be better off with fully open source community projects.
I'm stunned by this. Do you just never, ever dress up for anything?
Psychologically I think it is very easy to resolve any possible contradictions. "My side are the real patriots - their side are false patriots who are actually bootlickers/oppressors/occupiers/traitors/etcetera."
I don't know how old are you, but before algorithms have mostly solved the spam problem, it was a real problem. If you have something like gmail, you could try recreating this experience by copying your spam folder into your inbox and trying to sort through it manually. I just checked and I get several hundreds spams every day - most of which going directly to spambox and I never see them. But it'd be a serious problem if automatic filters didn't work.

Recruiter spam is for now not nearly as bad as this - but with enough automation, it could be too. So "just delete it" is not a solution that scales. Maybe spam filters would catch it too, but then you'd risk missing authentic offers...
Australians in Australia are not allowed to leave the country they way they were prior to covid. Before, like any other reasonable country, all you needed was a valid passport. Heck, the U.S. doesn't even require that much. But now Australia requires more than just a passport, and to my knowledge that has had the net effect of not letting any Australians out.
> A company could easily have non-employment expenses be 90% of its revenue, so we are talking about $1m or 7-8 person company there on decent salaries

Can you give a few real world examples where a $10 million / year revenue company with 7 employees would have difficulty paying $147 a month (or $49 if they went for the $7 / month instead)? With the $7 / month plan (if you only care about DD), the entire annual cost for all 7 devs is less than hiring 1 developer for 1 day at a normal US dev salary.
> You confuse legality with morality.

I did not confuse anything. You may be confused about what I mean, and if so, I'm sorry for any unclear communication on my part that led to that state of affairs. Feel free to ask for clarification of my position if you're curious.

> Besides which, the state has done just fine without such invasive measures before.

That is not obviously true to me. For most of the period of time during which the people have had the capability to communicate remotely, the state has also had the capability to surveil that communication when warranted. And it seems plausible to me that the lack of that capability before permitted much criminality that since has been prevented.
> Every Negative Emotion is Driven by an Unmet Need

> When you notice a negative emotion in someone, get curious about what that emotion might be — and try to uncover the unmet need that accompanies it. ‘Are you feeling X because you’re needing Y?’.

I have a sense that this practice could change the world and make life better for everyone. I wonder what it would take for everyone to start doing it.
Give it some time. You'll come to appreciate its simplicity (and how hard being simple is) once you've made more mistakes.

I don't mean that to sound patronising. It's been my journey over 40ish years of coding, 30ish years of professional software development.
I understand what you're saying, but antialiasing, despite its being a flawed workaround, seems to work well enough for me that even when reading text on a 4K display it's not a huge difference that I can notice it so much that it bothers me (I used a 4K monitor for a couple of years). Sure, 4K for text might be better, but it doesn't mean that I notice a difference.

That lowest common denominator already exists in official app stores. There are huge swathes of garbage apps that try to scam you with expensive subscriptions/MTX, use shady ad networks that push more garbage apps on you, ask for every permission under the sun for no other reason than to collect data on you, etc.
For many apps the issue isn't feature removal but sandboxing.

https://panic.com/blog/coda-2-5-and-the-mac-app-store/

MAS requires sandboxing, distribution outside the store does not. That said, Apple turns the 'default sandboxing' screw another half turn with every release.

In addition to subscription revenue, upgrades are possible by releasing a new product version (e.g. "OmniGraffle 7" in MAS) with a free tier ("read-only mode") and in-app purchases for new users as well as upgrades from OG 6.

I believe you can read purchase receipts within your developer team to determine upgrades.
They’ll claim the drop in crime is a direct result of their draconian overreach. So, if a little has worked so well, why not heap more on?

Incidentally, it’s really hard to counter this reasoning, no matter what subject it is applied to. The truth is, we don’t know what crime would have done without such a system in place. It may have dropped even further. It’s the typical causation / correlation confusion.

There was a reason Mormon's tended to be hired by casinos in Vegas- their exposure to the local vices (and hence their corruptibility) was lower than average.
Indeed, it appears that much of the content is in fact focused on simply constructing fully-specified rhetorical arguments (as opposed to the hand-wavy self-inconsistent arguments that dominate popular media) which derive fairly controversial conclusions from relatively widely accepted premises.

If you're into "Linux-first" computing, you might also be interested in SimulaVR's "Linux-first" portable VR headset: www.simulavr.com

It will run with an 11th gen Intel compute pack (x86 ), and have premium specs (roughly double the resolution of the Valve Index).

Turning it on will boot you into SimulaVR's VR window manager (built over the Godot game engine) with hand tracking. All open source.

It's intended to be more comparable to a Linux laptop (like System76) than a VR gaming device like the Quest.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. That channel could have been a goldmine for HR to assess morale and to get candid basic feedback about compensation. But sure.

I don't think it's at all reasonable to say that a Slack channel is an "equivalent" to spreading information by ad-hoc meetings in the cafeteria/break room/near the water cooler.

I can reach all people in a Slack channel by spending a few seconds typing something. Reaching any large number of people through chance encounters in an office on break time requires perhaps hours of work spread out over days or weeks. And you'll never reach employees who work in another location if you can only physically talk to the ones who work in your office.
5.b ...or what? In practice these kinds of rules are unenforced because governments tolerance for their own busy schedules, giving exceptions for unavoidable delay, is infinite.

And then it happens so much it's standard practice and attorneys lose social credit for even bringing it up.
