>And whilst the overwhelming majority are purchased by individual investors, a non-negligible amount is via LLCs, LLPs, and corporations.

Most of those LLCs and LLPs will be smaller investors. I would not think of buying a rental an not using an LLC - even if it would be for just one rental. I'm not sure the kind of entity that owns a property matters all that much. For $150 plus a little extra paperwork, a LLC really does de-risk the rental business.
Yup. I knew it because I fell in a Wikipedia rabbit hole about animal intelligence not long ago.

It was very intriguing to me, as someone with no previous knowledge, how this was assumed to be an only human trait yet the fact was pretty much glossed over.

I find fascinating the idea of a step between being stuck with the information that others emit and being able to and request arbitrary information at will, being part of what made us what we are. Once you think about it, it really is an amazing advantage.
There was even a "Make it 486" CPU for 286 motherboards so you might have been correct. All the upgrades were terrible though really and everyone knew it. Better to save up and get a real 486 or Pentium.

To couch this for the US assets, 2020 M2 money supply shot up 30%, a historically significant amount. I'm still waiting to see if the "gains" in stocks/housing since 2020 is really a gain or the immediate result of price inflation due to money printing. Or "quantitative easing".
I think people are just responding to how much hype there is. Yes it is cool, immersion feels fun and different. Lifting up that jar and looking at the alien in the first room in Alyx was very cool.

But its just a new way of looking at pixels on a screen. You can't actually "do" anything that you can't already do now.

You can pretend to fly the moon. You can simulate going on an adventure. Its all just entertainment.
> I’ve heard that, under socialism, workers would vote on who they want to be managers...

I grew up under socialism and wanted to mention that author "heard" very, very wrong. Under socialism, the Party bosses will decide who will be the managers. The person's qualifications and achievements will be largely taken into consideration, together with their loyalty to the Party, who their parents are, friends in high places who vouched for them, favors that need to be returned, etc... Not that much different from the capitalism.

The process author describes, is what happens when you are thinking to become a socialist society. Everything looks fantastic then. But actual socialism comes with removal of democratic safeguards and somewhat totalitarian government (how else would you confiscate private property from citizens?).

Once the new, socialist, management is in place, they quickly realize that it's nice to be at the top. Next, they turn their attention to the authors like this (who threaten their permanent place at the top) and quickly "dispose" of them. There is a sweet irony in this process, but it is of little consolation for the rest of the population, who will suffer for the next 70 yrs until the country goes back to the capitalism.

Are there actually asymmetric vulnerabilities in space?

I also don't think that's the focus of the article and doesn't pertain to space. The article gives lots of examples of new competition from china & russia, but explicitly says for example that "the United States has idled certain of its offensive-technology programs while China and Russia actively test the same capabilities" which implies parity if not advantage.

To me that asymmetric quote from Oriana Skylar Mastro seems to more reference what I do genuinely find scary: the US military's heavy heavy reliance on technology and tech controlled via space.

can any of our planes even fly without computers? I assume all major powers can hack basically anything.

I would hope the smarter than me military advisors have thought that through...

"China attacked U.S. satellites operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA. In the latter case, they gained control of the craft, but stopped short of issuing it commands"

"Among the spacefaring nations, the United States is by far the most exposed"

"I think it’s no-holds-barred. Because the U.S. has the most to lose."

Just by growing from behind technologically adversaries might have an advantage in they have stuff that works without computers & satellites.

Though I would personally bet we might still have a small asymmetric advantage in space defense and offense.

we obviously have an advantage in rapid deployment. Have been flying a mini shuttle for over 10 years. Have SpaceX. Seems wise to me to have extra satellites lying underground for rapid deployment. And hopefully we have more stuff that isn't trackable - it seems some of the shuttle stuff we know about is at least hard to track by amateurs.

Bash might be consistent, but what about the programs you're calling out to? Even basic utilities have different options between BSD and GNU Coreutils. Something like git might not have options you're expecting due to differences between versions. Or if you need to download a file using HTTP, you will run into a problem when you run on a machine that has wget when your script was expecting cURL.

And yes, you have these sorts of problems with other languages, but my point here is that Bash doesn't free you from them.
A possible scenario, as a socialist experiment in a generally capitalist society --

The first step is to get all workers together to explain their co-ownership status. They need to figure out a new set of governance rules. Working at the firm is ownership of a share of the firm; the share is a vote and an equal claim to profit.

The second step is to ask which goods they are making that benefit the community, and in what ways? If they are making nothing useful, it's time to figure out what can be made with minimal changes to the equipment and materials available.

Now that they know what they are making and how they are governing themselves, they need to have new operating rules. How do they assess the need for new co-workers? How do they assess current productivity? What non-production jobs are necessary, and which ones are largely about enforcing rules that no longer apply?

Then comes the long haul of self-assessment and discussion with the community: are these the right goods? Are they being produced both efficiently and humanely? What changes need to be made? Capitalist firms usually rely on a triplet of marketing, sales-people and consulting. Marketing is a mix of research and pushing opinions; sales tends to be overly-optimistic; many companies don't value feedback from their consultants.

It should come as no surprise that cooperative ventures have more degrees of freedom than capitalism's traditional central-control and fiefdoms; more decision have to be made, and this can be slower.
>> Even in person, I have gotten called “race traitor” because I don’t believe in judging people by their skin color

This is where we get into muddy waters. Lifting up those who've been denied for generations is not "judging people by their skin color", it more akin to "reparation" for denying so many for so long because of judging people by their skin color.

The cop out for that is "I've never done that", but that doesn't matter. It was done and the effects of it are still with us.

As a society we must make it right. If there were enough seats for anyone who wanted to put in the effort to attend this would be a non-issue, so that's the real problem.
I really would like to see all the haters prove me wrong.
This actually happened in Yugoslavia - keyword "worker self management".

I'm not denying your experience, there were lots of terrible regimes calling themselves socialist, but it's wrong to generalize from that.
There already at least three to four variants of "gender-neutral" phrases used in German. The almost classic one with using a "binnen-I" (within-I) as in "BürgerIn" (citizen masculine and feminine). Doesn't work so great in the plural, though, were with "BürgerInnen" you lose the masculine marker. The same with the more recent "Bürger:in" or ""Bürger*in".

There's also the possibility of enumerating "Bürger" und "Bürgerin", which becomes quite tedious when it's used throughout longer texts.

In special cases it's possible to use the noun form of an adjective as in "Studierende" which has become the standard gender-neutral form of "students". As a German native speaker I never understood how "Studenten" has been perceived to exclude female students but that's how it is now. In the same vein people taking part in something are now called "Teilnehmende" while they were formerly called "Teilnehmer".

Personally I find all of this horrible although of course I am for equality, equal opportunity and equal pay.
Thanks for this, that's a good explanation. I don't have anything to dispute regarding your principle, but you only mentioned two people so I don't know if I would really call that a pattern of anything in particular. Also I don't even see how that's related to this article at all, as the author doesn't say anything specifically about racial issues or marginalized groups. I think you may be looking for a pattern that isn't there?

Edit: If you want my own perspective, the author makes some really baffling and unprofessional statements in this article that I think would make me not want to have this person as my educator. But I wouldn't say they're related to any group in particular, there are just a lot of bad university professors out there who have no respect for their students.

> "Asking the developers to say no to the managers"

I never said we should. "Teams" includes everyone. And engineers do have cachet to push for things.

> "I never said that"

I never said or implied you did, it was a general statement.

> "It would just take time. Time that we can't really take". "If our clients don't ask for speed"

Here's what I've been saying: not taking time to estimate how much time it would really take (or even if it's needed) is nowhere near as bad as saying that "a PhD is needed for that", but it is bad. Also, acting reactively is also bad. Maybe your software is already good enough, but not knowing is also an issue.
I've actually found this bug before, but since I've been stuck on a six years out of date version of GLFW, I assumed it had been fixed and just wrote a ticket to update GLFW. It was wild to see this in my feed today!
Back when we had to scrape airline websites to get the deals they withheld for themselves, residential IP was indeed the way. Once the cottoned on to it and blocked id, you'd simply cycle the ADSL model, get a new IP, and off you'd go again.

Now the best part... one division (big team) of our company worked for the (national carrier) airline , one division of our company worked for the resellers (we had a single grad allocated to web scraping). The airline threw ridiculous dollars at trying to stop it, and we just used a caffeine fueled nerd to keep it running. It wasn't all fun though, they'd often release their new anti scraping stuff on a Friday afternoon. They were less than impressed when they learnt who the 'enemy' was. Good times!

Unions are a good start, so long as they don't think the path to victory is through legislation. Increasing the spirit of fearlessness and proximity to nature should be sufficient to make the society resistant to corruption. Stimulus was necessary and had many beneficial consequences for labor, but it should not be mistaken for liberation.

I should explicitly state this; I believe that government and corporate corruption is only a problem when you live far away from nature, which is the true universal law which governs this universe and our lives. For the longest time, I lost this sense of trust with nature, for various reasons, but I know its now time to take back our lives from the hell of society.

There are innumerable examples of people pursuing quality, efficiency and work satisfaction, over profit. We exist on a news site where one of the most upvoted articles is about reading Hegel. I'd invite the author to imagine a world where someone can take pride in having a clean and efficient shop, for the joy of it. Did the author write their article with the intent of some kind of "value-increasing"?

And, what is the "value" we are increasing? Maybe I want to run a shop that enables my local community members to not have to travel to the next town over for sanitary items - even if they are bulky and don't make a huge profit. Maybe what I value is seeing kids come into my store and purchasing that one icy-pole they like, that I've stocked for years.

Or maybe wanting just a few more dollars, is the only way.
A residential IP would help for IP based detection. As the Readme mentions, there's also Javascript based detection. If, for example, your browser has navigator.webdriver set incorrectly, then you can still get blocked even on a residential IP.

third="$(cat "$third_f")"

Seems like that should work fine, and it's not even that odd looking or hard to understand. But I haven't tried, not sure if there's some surprise lurking in the depths of tempfiles or something.

Why should you have citizenship just because you were born there?

Where I live (Canada) it's jus soli and there's an entire birth tourism business because of it. Foreigners give birth here just to give their children citizenship without ever contributing.

Also, you could have obtained Italian citizenship by staying until you were 18.

> Let's say you have a farm, which is expected to pay $1B to investors over the next 10 years and then cease operation

Expected by whom?

Who gives you the certanety that they'd pay 1B/yr ?

The CEO projections? That's just like marketing material

Let's say you come up with your own projections and indeed it points at a 1B/yr profit. At the end of the day you are still looking at the past/present and trying to predict the future thoughts and actions of people other than yourself.

You are making a prediction/bet that people other than yourself will buy some X billions dollar worth of the farm products and that the difference between revenues and cost of good sold is going to come out at 1B per year which is the profit which at the end of the 10 years it totals 10B

I used to work for a private company that had a market cap in the billions of dollars and is the dominant monopoly in their field. I left that job in September. Here are things they could have done to make me stay (only would have needed one):

- Increase paid vacation from 3 weeks to 6+ weeks

- Increase base salary to match offers I was receiving at other companies

- Reduce work week from 40 hours to 32 hours

- Hire people more experienced than me so I can learn from them and keep growing

- Fire the toxic team member on our team who, despite being junior to me in experience and ability level, was at risk of becoming my manager on a long enough timeline simply because he had been at the company longer than me

However, none of these were offered to me when I announced I would be leaving. I was leaving to move to my own company so I was open to being convinced to stay but there was never a serious attempt. Instead everyone during my exit lamented how hard it is to hire people right now. I had a good team and the company is pretty decent but HR was seriously lacking when it came to managing developers.

No, Dry farming needs to be wiped out.

It takes more land.

If you care about the ecosystem, this is bad. If you care about cost, this is bad.

The only mantra Dry farming works for is terraforming the Earth to less/no native environment and more communal farming. That's a legitimate ideal, but most people value the ecosystems.

My last house sale in the U.K. was 0.5% of the sale price to the estate agent (the buyer doesn’t pay anything). Legal fees on my side for selling and buying were another 0.5%, and a little for a survey. Total cost to sell and buy well under 1.5%.

Why do you get for that 6%?
The company I was working for at the time spent a not insignificant amount of money and effort migrating away from Oracle JDK when they first pulled this shit.

It was a B2B outfit, had maybe 30 customers running a dozen different products that the customers hosted themselves. The product was critical to business and the customers were large and part of critical infrastructure. Even a short outage would have made it into the news. What I'm saying is it wasn't a place where you could just hope for the best while migrating JVMs, everything needed to be tested and re-tested from every imaginable angle.

This was extremely expensive, but in the long run, it was still a lot cheaper than ponying up for oracle licensing costs.

I don't work there anymore, but I doubt they are repeating the process to migrate back, especially given how well OpenJDK works.
