It's only a range extender by Netgear's firmware design. The actual device is a bog standard SoC with Wi-Fi + Ethernet, so OpenWRT can turn it into anything, incl. a wireless router directly connected to WAN if need be. In my case I don't run it as a router, but as a wireless-to-Ethernet bridge into the rest of my LAN.
I don't think it's an issue of inflation. Inflation has been super low for the past decade or more. Everything else is cheap, it's just housing that's expensive. It's a combination of scarcity and speculation leading to more artificial scarcity. Make it less attractive for speculators and build more houses.
Right/wrong seems to be not really applicable as a choice of answer here:

What the article pivots on is that, earlier, human interaction was an essential part of the ride experience. You get into someone else's car and if only for etiquette, you have a conversation to make everyone comfortable among strangers.

Now the driver describes that the part of the human interaction clearly and distinctly has started to wane. This caters to people that prefer the quiet ride, adding to their popularity: Earlier, if really you wanted a quiet ride, you had to pick a different means of transport.

There's no right or wrong here. Just the insight that ride-hailing apps have become the catalyst for a situation (strangers sitting in a car together, basically pretending the other doesn't exist) that otherwise may not have existed.

Personally, I prefer quiet rides too, but I made it a habit to be friendly and courteous to the driver when starting and ending the ride, just out of respect. In my own experience that makes everyone a bit happier.
I totally agree. However, I do think there is and will continue to be massive breakthroughs in _biological_ technology.

Things like synthetic biological manufacturing. The decoding and understanding of the basic biologic software that runs our cells and bodies.

I'm convinced a huge breakthrough is on the horizon, that will nudge us down the correct path of building AGI, based on better understands of bioelectric computation.

This is still in place for PPOR. Does not apply for investment properties AFAIK.
>it should be cheaper to acquire a home u live in than an home u buy to speculate/rent. And the difference should be way higher than a few % tax more

At least in Norway your primary home is exempt from property tax. I guess that's one reason why we have a home ownership rate of over 80%.
That doesn't make any sense, or align with what you actually said, but whatever. Stallman's fame long predates GNU. I think you owe Devon an apology for calling him a "creepy" "spoiled brat" "liar". He correctly confirmed what you wrongly denied without any evidence and by calling other people with direct experience liars, and he knows first hand, having shared a house with RMS for many years, and having known him well for many decades.

By the way, "Sorry it was ambiguous to you" is a classic non-apology apology, blaming somebody else for their mistake of misunderstanding you, without admitting you were wrong, which you were. I understood you just fine. You owe Devon a much more specific and sincere apology than that for calling him names, directly stating what you did that was wrong, showing your remorse, acknowledging that you were wrong, and promising that it won't happen again. Here's some help with that:

The best stories frequently break the principle. There is a ton of worldbuilding done in even simple-reading stories like the Hobbit, that are largely irrelevant to the greater whole, but serve to give the reader a better perspective.

Mindlessly following Chekhov's Gun, in my opinion, will always result in pulp fiction. Whether it's TV or novels, or movies. If you've stripped a story down to the bare basics, all you're left with is predictability that gives the reader an easy ride.

Not to say that's always a terrible thing. After a stressful day, pulp fiction can be the perfect way to relax. Most people have something mindless that they enjoy.

But it is incredibly rare that you end up with something truly great if you religiously follow the principle.

> This understanding, of “object permanence”, is a normal developmental milestone, as well as a basic tenet of reality. It is also something that self-driving cars do not have.

That is just simply false. Nearly every team we heard technical details from has a “tracking subsystem” which integrates observations across time and sensor modalities. You cannot do that without object permanence.

How good is their object permanence? That is up for debate. Maybe there are situations particular versions from particular companies fail at. But then you should talk about these observed failures.

After all just because a healthy adult flunks a shell game we won’t conclude that they must lack object permanence.

Also how arogant it is from the writer to assume that out of the thousands and thousands of self-driving car engineers across many companies none of them thought that object permanance could be a trick worth implementing? What kind of ego one needs to write down a sweeping statement like that?
It does not predate OO.

The first OO language, SIMULA-67 became public knowledge before the start of even the PDP-7 UNIX, which is extremely unlikely to have used such a pattern, which probably appeared only when UNIX was rewritten in C, starting in 1973.

Even Smalltalk-72 predated the C-version of UNIX.

However, it is likely that this pattern was chosen in UNIX independently of the previous OO languages.

The problem is that in a globalized world, dutch homes are more attractive than, say, homes in Cairo or Sao Paulo. Investors moving money in means that home prices are no longer correlated with the local economy. A salary is no longer what determine the rent or the mortgage but rather "global" appeal to that place.
And the sky is blue. Look, we're not talking about what you write out, we're talking about what the ML model generates for you and what Microsoft claims about the ownership of the generated output. At this point I don't feel like you're arguing in good faith. Have a good one.
> The problem is that it gets harder and harder for normal people to own anything (build up wealth),

In the US, it is easier than ever. Open a free account online at a number of brokerages, and buy some broad market low cost equity index ETF.

The problem is government subsidies for real estate. Get rid of federal taxpayer guaranteed mortgages (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, ginnie mae). Get rid of 1031 exchanges. Let the markets set the interest rate and do its own risk calculations.

See similar price distortions due to federal taxpayer guaranteed student loans.

All of this is unlikely, however, since the US and many other societies have baked in burgeoning economic growth for decades to come in their previous decades’ spending. Therefore, to avoid defaulting on these assumptions, the societies will keep inflating currency to keep the ruse going as long as possible.

> walking back to hotel at night, only about 30% of houses had any lights on.

I wish a data scientist at utilities (water, electricity and gas) providers pick up this line and provide some statistics on this. I wish also that city-services companies (e.g. Electricity/water/parking service provider) can collaborate to provide better and justified policy making.

I did similar studies based on open data to provide insights on road/sidewalk optimization usage, and I still see value in collaboration with policy makers.
That’s not a full write off and it’s only for a mortgage on a property you reside in. BTW many countries in the EU allow you to write off interest from loans even from credit cards but it didn’t cause an inflation of personal credit line or increased utilization.

No, it's normal greed and, if anything, inequality is lower now than it has been in the past. What we have today is fat, comfortable people looking at billionaires and screaming greed because the billionaire has a yacht while they only have 3 cars and one massive house. Who's the greedy one here?

I had a quick look and this seems like a solid, concise intro to GR.

The article https://people.carleton.edu/~nchriste/PTO000041.pdf gives an overview of the ways and books to learn GR. It does not cover some more recent intro books.

If there was enough rooms I could have rented a tiny room, like a Norwegian prison cell, from a student housing. But there was not enough of these rooms. And they were available only for one year. You had to vacate them after that.
The problem is that these investors have raised rents nationally to a point where there is no affordable housing outside of social housing (8-15+ year wait lists). And this happened in a very short time period. If I'd want a 60-80m2 apartment in the city I currently live, I'd have to pay 1000-1200+ Euro for that; three to four years ago, that would have been half. Just over the border in Germany the same apartment goes for 350-500 Euros (NRW to be specific). The housing market here feels beyond crazy. Real estate prices themselves are also exploding +10%~ month over month
and based on your info, do you think:

1) it's 90% fad ?

2) it does improve the existing ?

3) do you think the broad principles can reach other parts of society (I do, but I'm not connected to anybody in the industry.. I should though)

A lot of these investors are 50+ year olds who've benefited from tremendous unearned wealth from their primary residence.

When you own outright your main house and have paid effectively no rent or mortgage payments for decades, that surplus income makes buying a second investment property, even at today's prices, relatively easy. The extra money and demand entering the market pushes prices up.

Then the renting tenants have to pay an ever increasing share of their income in rent. They never build up capital, and so can never afford to buy anywhere.

This is a societal problem - home ownership means stability (to have children), commitment to an area, a willingness to invest time into improving it. When you can be cast on to the streets with a few months notice at your landlords whim, you have none of that.

There's no need for every family to sublet. Usually a small minority of residences house subletters.

I can’t read a clickbait article. It reminds me of when some Swiss people wanted to use their power of direct democracy to put a cap on CEO pay. The Swiss were smart enough to vote it down. If every country had such a system, the world would quickly burst into flames. And here we have some Dutch people who want to nationalize housing development. Because without private investors, there will be nobody else besides the government to develop housing. The dutch and their government are exceptional enough to make it work I would imagine. But a lesser government would quickly turn nationalized housing into a disaster.

These people are angry at housing prices. Just wait a while longer and the housing investors will all be experiencing something much more painful than a government buyout and your houses will be quite affordable. That the beauty of a free market.
Even my low-risk Vanguard ETFs have gone up like 30% in a year. That seems insane to me.
The advice for dieting is also boring (exercise more, eat less and more healthy foods), but there are still many overweight people. The answer is straightforward: it is actually pretty difficult to follow boring advice.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but either way, I'm not saying there aren't some very impressive developers contributing to Veloren, or some really tricky and highly optimized code. But for the parallelization part, we're really not doing anything special. Pretty much all the cleverness there is in the libraries we use, and newer programmers can parallelize stuff about as easily as the more experienced devs.

Of course, if you wanted to say that libraries like crossbeam or rayon are "miracles made by geniuses" then I'd be more inclined to agree :) But there are similar facilities in other languages too, e.g. folly and OpenMP for C++.
"Both sides" is not a particularly good cognitive tool, in my experience. They are mostly illusory sides anyway, there are as many sides as there are people. I've personally even been accused of having "inconsistent political views" at times, as if it was a cardinal sin.

Because emotions rules.

It doesn't matter that you know what you have to do, eat well, do exercise, how to prioritize, what's good for you and what's not.

Unless you steer your emotions in the right direction, you won't be able to achieve anything, because resistance and stregth of will won't get you very far.

And changing your emotions is really hard, because they're mostly formed in your youth, and doing so need a systematic approach, consistency, and strengh of will... and that's precislesly what you lack; a vicious cycle.

Everyone is suggesting ineffective solutions with idiotic side effects. The proper way of solving this problem is to build a lot more homes. Otherwise you'll be creating a plan economy where bureaucrats are constantly scrambling to alleviate the side effects of their shuffling of deck-chairs on the sinking ship.

But of course, few cities want to do this. The biggest cities in Norway are particularly bad at not even attempting to solve this problem at the root.

Let's just say it loudly and proudly: If you're against allowing the free market to build as much as the demand indicates, you're for high housing costs and screw everyone who is negatively affected. This hypocritical virtue signalling has gotten really old.
The fact that those cities are so expensive is exactly the problem. Those cities are healthier if they have a healthy mix of different population groups. I live in Amsterdam and would hate to see it become a rich people's ghetto, though it's definitely at risk of that happening. Maybe it already is.
Presumably the reason for why there isn't enough housing for students is related to why there isn't enough housing for everybody else.
How is the CPI a useful measure of inflation if it ignores the things people actually have to spend money on like housing and healthcare?
While it's hardly a complete object system, perl's bless() operator associating a package name with a data structure, where the package is (for bless()'s purposes at least) basically just a global hash mapping method names to subroutines, was pretty much how I first got my brain around the concept.

I wish more "introduction to OO" things would start by demonstrating a dispatch table and then showing how the vtable concept maps onto that, I suspect it would make things significantly clearer to a bunch of people as they learn.
Thank you. In the recent weeks I was considering to subscribe to the economist. But if this is the quality of their writing on a subject I can judge then I would rather not poison my mind with articles from them which I have no expertise over.
OOP is great when you write APIs/libraries (your examples),
but is useless or even counter productive when writing applications, where encapsulation or inheritance just obfuscate everything.

My main grip with Java is that everything is by default a library.

But there is hope, recent changes in Java, records and pattern matching move away from that idea.
It's not uncommon for cities to pas laws that aim at the reduction of unoccupied spaces amid housing crisis. Actually, most European capitals do this either by raising taxes on empty housing or by partially legalizing squatting.

Anti-debugging, as a field, is just one of those things that I think is inherently distasteful. As in, the sole point of doing it isn't to make or fix something, like so much else in programming, it's to break something, and deny a feature. That just...feels like making a giant "screw you" to somebody else, which is very unpleasant.

As an aside, I was very glad to see that if you browse to the example sites with firefox you get an angry "This only works in Chromium based browsers" popup.
If a detail does character building then it’s done it’s job. The point is it should have a job to do.

I think the example of a gun is an extreme one. A gun on the wall isn’t just any old background detail, it’s going to grab the audiences attention, and hold that attention. It’s a serious distraction, far more than most other background details, an ominous threat of violence hanging over every scene it’s in. Whether you intended that as an author doesn’t change the fact that this is what it’s effect is going to be. If your going to put it there, you’d better have a plan for resolving the tension it’s going to create, whether it gets fired or not.

I’m not sure I entirely buy Checkhov’s point as a hard rule, sometimes your just doing a bit of world building, but I think he chose the example fo a gun on the wall as an extreme example. There’s no dodging that one.
I may be biased because I moved recently to the Netherlands and looking to buy our first home and stop paying rent.

But, the house prices are crazy out here. I work in tech and my wife is an academic. We earn what is definitely above market average, and it looks like we cannot afford most houses we find in the area where we are renting now(well outside Amsterdam).

At this juncture, at least temporarily, investors who are looking to buy up properties and make money out of it need to be stopped by regulations. This is for the greater good. Investors can always find other avenues to invest. But, people need reasonable housing prices.
There are a few other cases where it applies as well, but you're right that it doesn't apply to investment properties.

Also, it's no longer always a full write off, it's a write off at a capped rate. Those with low incomes have a full write off, those with high incomes see a more limited effect.

Exactly. We've got laws to mitigate or redirect any harmful innate traits that we've got. Greed, like violence, is definitely among them.
