Reinsurance has nothing to do with it. Lawyers could convince a judge to make the nuclear plant insurance pay out to earthquake victims because no one else can. The increase in the premium from the amortized risk of that happening is the same whether you spread it across other insurance companies or not.

Try going to a major insurance company to get a policy that pays out in the amount of two hundred billion dollars in the event that you're abducted by aliens. If you can get the policy at all, the premium will be unaffordable, and it's not because the insurance company thinks there is a significant probability that you'll actually be abducted by aliens.

In LA the cops generally don't care.

Even if they do, they'll just give the homeless guy a citation which he'll never pay. Don't get me wrong, the cops should definitely still handle crimes on the trains, as well as anyone who's trying to live there.

"Zoning is regulation."

Business regulation.

"If labor was truly the barrier then when upzoned no construction would take place."

Not a barrier, but a factor. You seem to be misunderstanding me. It's not that it can't be done in the populated area, but that it's better done in areas not already in a precarious situation.

"Additionally a large reason why labor is so expensive is from the constrained housing in the first place -- again stemming from the zoning."

So we have circular logic here. If the labor is expensive, you aren't going to make it cheaper (at least short term) by building more houses because the labor cost to build those houses will still be high. They have to pay their existing mortgages.
So, again, how do they review those images? Does Apple have the key to the reporting database?
I can make the same argument about freeways. I can make the same argument about parking. If you have a society where almost everyone has a car you're just pushing that cost somewhere else.
People consistently forget the human element when talking about what constitutes "good" security. Sometimes trading a small amount of entropy for a reduction in user friction has the effect of making a system functionally more secure, even if it is hypothetically easier to crack.

It might be easier for Microsoft's new passwordless options to be broken by some good social engineering, but its ease of use over relying on a password manager means users are more likely to abandon that sticky note on their monitor or their re-used easily guessable password.

The cheapest land on which you could build a yurt or small cabin (illegally) in Berkeley I found on realtor is 60k (it is pending sale). The cheapest house is well north of 200k. You could build your own yurt or cabin for only 10 grand. You're joking yourself if that isn't very cheap by comparison.

No, that’s simply false. You don’t have to go far upthread to see it.

State level reform is important. Here in Oregon, we have HB2001 that allows for up to 4-plexes everywhere. City council's can't stop it. A local NIMBY lady ginned up a bunch of opposition to its local implementation and even put a full page ad in the newspaper. It went through anyway.

The folks at YIMBY Action are a great resource if you're serious about making progress on this kind of thing.
I actually knew a man who spent half his life trying to solve this problem from the 1980s onwards.

One thing which ancient texts require that modern ones don’t is this: there are a lot of commentaries written about these texts. They’re crucial for understanding the original text. In fact in the Arab world commentaries on Greek and other books were sometimes as valuable as the originals. Commentaries on commentaries were common.

In the west we treat the original as sacred and everything else as secondary.

A real value for an API on a sacred text is to capture all the commentary around it, and let people upload the present say contexts in which they understand it. That would be one way to “understand” a text.

That would be a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of hermeneutics.

Call it Wikineutics.

I'm willing to bet there are huge sections of the population who will insist on talking to a real person, no matter how mundane or trivially automated their request. The 20 minute hazing ritual exists to deter them, not you. The more of a pain in the ass it is, the lower the call volume they have to deal with.
so the cost of lowering costs will be that people lose their jobs?
While I agree completely with the idea, I have trouble deciding how secure the 5S should be considered. I couldn’t find anywhere Apple state the level of support, and it seems to receive some security patches but not others. Did the June update patch all known vulnerabilities at that point? Is it now insecure again since it did not receive a patch for ForcedEntry?
The 6S/SE might be better examples? iOS 15 is now available on both.

This is so meta! In all that time, SC (1&2) to this day continues to evolve the metagame around efficient build orders: what can I do to throw a punch at my opponent sooner than they can expect. If we could start our matches from the BIOS POST rather than the in-game 0:00, I guess you'd have a pretty strong timing push ;)
The speaker in that video wrote a book("You have the right to remain innocent") where he argues that the "right to remain silent" (5th amendment) has been eroded in the USA and gives examples of court cases where the fact that a suspect asserted his right to remain silent was taken as an admission of guilt (and was allowed to be argued as such in court).

Therefore he recommends AGAINST saying anything regarding your right to remain silent, and even recommends against remaining completely mute (as this can also be used against you -- again, in contradiction with the constitution, but apparently the courts don't care).

The author therefore recommends that the proper way to invoke your 5th amendment right is to actually invoke your right to council. If you are questioned by authorities and wish to remain silent, then the correct response is the exact phrase: "I want a lawyer".

This effectively prevents then from further questioning you, ensuring your 5th amendment right, while also preventing them from testifying in court along the lines of "the suspect refused to answer questions and we found that to be suspicious"
Cardio (especially running) is a major source of burn. Curious how you came to that conclusion. Yes, over the long term lifting is better because more muscle = higher resting metabolism = higher passive burn but in the short term, unless you’re doing high rep/highly hypertrophic exercises, cardio is the way to go.

If you just want a nominal degree, you might check out either WGU [1] or Northern Arizona University [2]. The competency-based system allows you to get through the courses a lot quicker (and cheaper) than you would with a traditional school (both are fully accredited).

I don't know that it's "worth it", since that expression can mean different things to different people. For me, I want to unlock the path to do research, and a bachelors is basically required for that for most jobs. I also just wanted to get that chip off my shoulder (as stated before).

I moved from nomad to swarm recently (this is running a proxy + dbs + a few replicas of a node app + tons of long running CPU intensive jobs spanning 10 servers).

A few weird api decisions but I found the developer's workflow to be better.
I got rid of some weird allocation behaviours I couldn't explain with nomad (the real motivator to get off nomad).
I also don't have to install anything.
I don't understand the mental leap here to blame password rotation on Microsoft specifically. Shouldn't that blame be aimed at (older) NIST and (current) PCI DSS compliance? Blaming Microsoft for making it easy for sysadmins to centrally control a password policy through Active Directory seems, to me, just... very misguided.
the mobility will be less valuable, but I'd imagine if I had children, renting would give me more time to spend with them since I won't have to maintain a home.
According to Mythbusters it warms your extremities by cooling your core.
That app doesn't show some requests which I know Windows does make, like Start menu searches. And frankly I wouldn't trust it to be accurate even if I couldn't find anything which wasn't included.

Agreed w/r/t outrage and the maxim, though.
I think it's more of an emergent pattern.

Mutant ABC is the target. First Mutant A becomes the predominant strain. There might be some Mutant AB or AC in the population, but the controlling factor is currently Mutant A.

Eventually, Mutant A therapies/vaccines are introduced and Mutant A starts to lose its hold. Mutant AB isn't treated by the new treatments (or they're less effective, or Mutant AB goes undetected longer, etc.). Mutant AB becomes king of the hill. Repeat with Mutant ABC.

All this would assume that there's no Mutant B or Mutant BC or Mutant AC that increases in prevalence. All the mutations would have to build up over time or occur simultaneously by coincidence (or you could get a combination).

It's just basic evolution - organism follows the niche. We have a hard time recognizing it because generation turnover is so rapid. Instead of taking ~30 years for 2.5 offspring, it's a few days for millions of offspring.

I don't think mode of reproduction matters much when we're talking at this scale. While the virus creates stable clones across generations, I would think they're more susceptible to mutations and any viable mutation is quickly amplified exponentially. Just like the old high school bio experiment to demonstrate antibiotic resistance, only your respiratory mucus membranes are the medium. Those bacteria reproduced asexually.
It dulls the senses and temporarily increases blood flow around a lot of your skin where temperature is monitored, which makes you feel warmer. So it could make a bad situation seem better than it is, could also lead to hypothermia because you've tricked your brain into thinking it's warmer than it actually is.

Also, alcohol typically has a misconception of improving sleep. In some situations, maybe, but it tends to give you a lighter sleep and leaving less refreshed if you consume a lot.
Also, if you want to avoid paying PMI you can get a second mortgage to cover most of the down payment. With current low rates even if the APR for a second mortgage is 1% higher, one can save a lot by paying this high rate on a much smaller portion of the ballance.
It's not really spelled out in this article, but as cities introduce Low Emission Zones, everyone that lives in or commutes into the area needs to have a car that meets the new regulations if they don't want to be heavily fined or banned.

Some people were going to buy a new car anyway, and can afford whatever kind is needed they just need to be aware of the incentives to do so.

Some people might be able to afford the TCO of an EV, but not have the up front cash to pay for one, especially if they take a loss on selling their recent purchase. Zero interest loans for EVs are a common policy choice for this group.

This then is a complementary policy aimed at the people who have just enough money to fill the tank on their old car, but not enough to buy a new one. The "lump sum" of 3 years of free public transport in that area helps to ease the transition for them, potentially letting them save up, or wait for cheaper second hand vehicles, or just use the bus and spend the money on other things.
Yes, you're absolutely right.

People with big piles of capital have a great time during times of low rates, whereas the cash poor working class (even those on high incomes) still get squeezed out by lending criteria and price inflation.

> That does not equate to 10 years of savings from responsible people.

I don't agree with this. If you're putting 40% of your take home in to rent and property taxes then saving only 20% of your take home (say 12% of your gross) per year is a reasonable approximation. Saving a whole gross income (the 20% deposit if the remaining 80% equates to 4x income) is going to take you ~8 years. And most people suck at saving. And in 8 years property prices can easy go up 50-70%.

Personally, I would just use a regular usb and hide it. Sometimes hiding the data is better than encrypting it (or both would be ideal). Really, the weak point in the system wi be the device taking the pictures and accessing the USB, not the USB itself (in my opinion).
Sleeping pills are a real kettle of worms. I don't think most people have an issue with carrying pills, but sleeping pills themselves are fraught with issues from addiction to nasty side effects.
Lots of tech giants are forcing DoH so their apps can phone home despite safeguards such as pi-hole. There's not a lot that you can do about that (if they are using certificate pinning, which they probably are). You can however do something about 8.8.8.8 (and 8.8.4.4). Just put a static route in your firewall that points those to your DNS of choice (or to a black hole).
Assuming that's true so what? Do we have any other choice? What other low carbon options do we have? Germany already has enough wind and solar that it's causing issues on bad weather days. Battery technology needs another decade or two the bare minimum to get close to being viable.

>A lot of US vaccination hesitancy seems to be in the older population, which ultimately means more deaths.

I wonder where you got this impression, because it is exactly backwards. The older an American is, the higher the vaccination rate. 93% of Americans over 65 have at least one dose. Highest hesitancy is with the young who have very low chances of personal complication.

- Can you identify a need in yourself, as if working on/with a third party client?

- Can you build something that person is more likely to like?

- Is this relevant in any given long-term scope for you? That will look more like a sustainable, energy-producing system.

Absolutely wonderful advice and some I wish I had been given back when I started out. I also thought the secret to a successful startup was identifying a need and building things people like. And this approach can work! But if it is a problem you are solving for you and you directly relate with, it will give you so much more energy and credibility while you are out there pitching your idea. And as you know, you are continuously selling your idea over and over and over... It really helps me to have a kernel of hard, unbending belief that a solution that worked for me will work for others.

What would be different is that an individual or organization running a OpenNIC DNS would not necessarily be subject to a court order from Germany.

There's not much that can be done when governments fiddle with the root DNS servers, but methods could be developed to retain historical records, and revert to them in the event of censorship.

It's true that a homeowner who pays a higher principal and a lower rate isn't really at a disadvantage if they stay in the home for 30 years (with a 30 year loan). But if rates go up a bit as soon as they need to sell they're going to find far fewer buyers.

And their neighbors will have already found out they had to sell for lower amounts, resulting in some others walking away instead of bringing money to the table at a sale. At thus begins the downward cycle.

Yes, they also significantly increase your potential attack surface. To get into your e-mail, an attacker now has the option to find a vulnerability in your e-mail server or your password manager.

Such a fun question. "No officer", then he decides you're lying and searches you/the vehicle for "officer safety" and finds the cash. Boom, now you lied about the cash and that's suspicious so the car and cash is seized and you end up in jail for the night or left on the side of the road with no car or money.

Answer "yes" and now it's a series of questions about the money of which none of it is the cop's goddamn business, and if you feel it's none of his business, boom, you're "acting suspiciously" and cash is seized and you end up in jail for the night or left on the side of the road with no car or money.
>And if someone can explain well what a piece of code is doing, then of course that person can also write code. How can you read without knowing how to write? [...] Reading and writing are two sides of the same coin.

I'm not so sure about that. I can read assembly code but I can't write it at a competent level that an employer would require. Reading code is often easier than writing it.

Maybe an analogy is reading vs writing a movie script. A lot of us can read the actors lines and set directions and can then explain what the movie is about -- but most of us are not skillful enough to write a movie script.

The deciphering-vs-generation divide happens in human languages too. Many times, a person learning a foreign language can understand what someone is saying but if asked to generate a sentence to express a thought, they often will be flustered and halting in their speech as the brain struggles to find the next correct word to say.

The reading vs writing skills don't seem to progress equally.

You won't stop obsoleting stuff until the pace of development settles down. We've gone from the telephone to VRChat in a century and a half. 20 years ago text messaging was just starting to catch on and the smartphone as we know them today was still 5 years away from existing.

If physical devices are going to start being used for the long haul it's either because hardware/software development has finally hit a wall or because the world has collapsed and smartphones are only good as a decorative hood ornament as you tear across the deserts of Mississippi on your Mad Max bloodwagon.

The author directly stated seeing repeated procrastination in many situations, yet stated that laziness does not exist. The premise of this article is literally founded on intellectual laziness.

When a person takes a course twice without ever managing to turn in homework, the situation of the student is not completely to blame, since the student didn't take the time to do something - the work, withdrawing in time, discussing options with the professor, something.

It seems fairly clear that the author has a "schtick" or a unique "angle" on social psychology that is being promulgated. As it turns out, they released a book this year called, "Laziness Does Not Exist", three years after this article was written.
