Could you at least expand on your question? What is your background? What have you tried? Why are you asking (in a rut? Successful but need fresh input? Are you a beginner still?) How much time do you usually spend?

Maybe these are the wrong questions, I’m not an artist. But just some pointers to get you going and have a better chance of getting high quality answers.

I think the danger is when they assume that making money will only require some simple tweaks, happy to sell at a loss in the meantime and then at some point in the future realize that actually the whole things was a capital fueled house of cards. I think one could argue that something like this has happened with Uber and Lyft (though perhaps covid + inflation has more to do with those price increases)
>Consider cryptocurrency to be the newest version of Beanie Babies, and act accordingly.

I find it hilarious that people can seriously equate a 2.6 trillion dollar industry with Beanie Babies. Beanie Babies did not allow for the creation of a decentralized financial network.
Who are you to make such claims ? Are you an Italian, do you live in Italy? Your claims seem just cliche rather than based on actual arguments. I always understood that HN audience was against these kind of posts.
Claiming that a 32-bit numeric format can outperform a 64-bit format is an example of BS claim.

Al 32-bit formats have the same number of points that are distributed over the real numbers, partitioning them in intervals.

The difference in the possible numeric formats is only in the position of the points, so the number of intervals is identical. When for a numeric format the intervals in a certain area are smaller, i.e. the precision is better, that means that in another area the intervals must be larger, so the precision must be worse. Which areas are more important depends on the problem that must be solved.

The posits are just floating-point numbers where the partitioning between the logarithmic part (the exponent) and the linear part (the fraction) is not fixed, but variable.

The posits close to 1 have more fraction bits, while the posits closer to 0 and to infinities have more exponent bits and less fraction bits.

For certain problems 32-bit posits can outperform 32-bit IEEE floats, but 32-bit posits cannot outperform any 64-bit numeric format, because the 64-bit format has billions times more intervals so a 32-bit format does not have any chance of approximating better a number.

Posits can outperform standard floats only at low precision, because in the formats with few bits there are not enough bits to reserve for the exponent, so the exponent range is small, which makes overflows and underflows very likely.

Posits can have a much larger exponent range, while maintaining a good precision close to 1, paying their extended exponent range with reduced precision towards 0 and infinities, i.e. posits have a gradual underflow and overflow, which are more gradual than the IEEE gradual underflow.

At double precision or higher precisions, the IEEE floats have enough exponent range that underflows and overflows become very unlikely, so posits no longer have any advantage.

The standard floating-point numbers have an almost constant relative approximation error over their exponent range.

For most serious numerical work this is the approximation property that is desired. Posits have a variable relative approximation error that becomes worse and worse for small and large numbers. This is normally undesirable. Complex physical models always have both very small numbers and very large numbers that must be approximated well, even better than the numbers close to 1 that are preferred by posits.

Nevertheless for small floating-point numbers, e.g. 16-bit FP, avoiding overflows and underflows becomes more important than the loss of precision at exponent range extremities, so posits are better.

32-bit floats are around the threshold where posits transition from being better to being worse that standard FP numbers.

Depending on the problem, 32-bit floats or 32-bit posits may be better. On the other hand, I have never seen any problem where 64-bit posits, with their worse relative errors, could be better than IEEE double precision.
Roblox made their developer tooling require you to be always online and signed in, even though it doesn't actually need this to function. This means that all development workflows have been bricked during this outage too. https://twitter.com/RBXStatus/status/1454815143607607300/pho...
The search term is "paper trade". Many online brokers offer this. It's good to know the mechanics of how to create and submit orders before you try it with real money. You can also find apps for that which aren't tied to a broker.

You don't have to wait a full year if you use a "backtest", which works on historical data. There's software for that as well. Beware of future knowledge overfitting to noise though.

Ultimately, it's best to analyze the historical data directly first, to prove the edge was there, before running a backtest.

Training your intuition is a bad strategy. Markets are more random than you think they are, and this is becoming more true over time as markets become more efficient. You need a system.
Imagine that you're a lobster, and Apple dropped you into some water. Apple assures you that you're just getting a nice warm bath. Some lobsters are a little nervous given how many other lobsters have been boiled alive after being promised a nice warm bath.
"the three biggest iBuyers — Opendoor, Offerpad and Zillow Offers"

From a bit of research.
“ Israel’s assets in the UK have been emboldened by the university collaborating with them to shut down teaching about Islamophobia."

As someone who had a Palestinian roommate, I must say that the west has done a great job whitewashing Israeli excesses and downplaying the racism that’s rampant in Israel. Part of this is indeed through soft censorship of viewpoints critical of Israel (they can exist in the narrow confines of academia, but never get major airplay). This poll is pretty damning, but it’ll never get the airplay it deserves: https://www.haaretz.com/.premium-israelis-say-no-vote-to-ara...

“ “ This is plainly antisemetic ... and I have a bar for that.”

Hopefully you apply that same bar to what people say about Palestinians, too. They have, for the longest time, been treated as subhuman in the west, with no consequence for the perpetrators of bigotry.
I strongly believe this sort of behaviour comes from companies who for some reason think they need their products to have some sort of "experience", usually the ideas of marketing people.

I remember many years ago buying an unbranded tablet from Alibaba -- direct from an OEM -- for a fraction of the cost of a Wacom, and it didn't even need drivers to start functioning. What drivers did come with it on the CD were minimal, unsigned (very common at the time, along with the instructions to click past the warning when installing) and surprisingly even had source code. The configuration utility wasn't a bloated abomination and didn't add itself to autorun on startup.

In other words, it felt like a humble servant ready to work for you, rather than attempting to coerce you into its "experience". It probably wasn't as responsive or featureful as a Wacom, but worked decently for the cost.

It’s 5% at the most in most markets right now, with lost of options for even lower commission or flat rate listings.
I wouldn't be surprised if gas exchange occurred through membranes, so that the gas inside is the same composition as the gas outside.
Things my agent did:

* hire and manage a staging company

* hire and manage a photographer

* print and distribute printouts

* hire and manage cleaner, landscaper, other various people to get the house ready and appealing

* use personal network to get the word out to other agents

I could have done most of this on my own, but I'd be cold calling random contracters. My agent had relationships, got the work done fast and at good price. Also I'm convinced all their work added at least 20% to final selling price. Maybe more.
Pedantically they are similar but not the same.

If you're taking an app built for Linux or GNU or BSD, then it probably will need modification, as those systems have various extensions on top of POSIX.
Agreed I think that would be a great addition to be able to select and customize different frames, I could see how it'd be valuable to see it framed next to other framed artwork already on the wall. It was a feature I decided to leave off for the initial launch for simplicity, but will prioritize adding it into a future release. Appreciate the suggestion! :)
The "metaverse" is a play to create a single 3D map that they (Facebook, somebody) own, so that they can sell real estate in the enforced public spaces.

The ideal environment would be one where I can create my own "town square" and put the things I want there, including my friends "buildings". In Facebooks version, we won't be allowed to do this, because then they wouldn't be able to sell the real estate.
Quite the opposite. It allows you to express more, not less.
I mean, I hate Oracle as much as the next person, but I don't really see a problem with "stay current or pay for LTS".
I don’t like to reply to an agreement with a disagreement, but I find Express-style middleware exactly the kind of magic and type-safety defeating stuff I prefer to avoid.

You can surely make it safer and more explicit by, for instance, creating a new wrapper for your Router or whatever. But by default the interface promotes casting/coercion of Request etc and just blindly asserting that you’re sure the middleware you’re expecting is attached.

In the past, I’ve worked around this by wrapping Express to make any middleware dependencies explicit on each route, and by making “middleware” actually just pure functions which return whatever state they derived from the Request. Essentially a Route just becomes a pipeline of composable functions. It worked very well, but in hindsight I found I got almost no value out of Express itself at that point.
I've seen Zillow in interviews claim that they are actually physically improving the homes before selling. And they sell for basically what they bought for it intentionally, so they're not actually inflating prices.

They're improving homes, helping sellers get out of homes faster, and not raising the prices.

This isn't like those home flippers on TV who buy a house for $70K, put $20K into it, and sell it for $200K. The story you're commenting on says they sell 90%+ for less than they paid.

This isn't a simple "Zillow buying homes must be bad". More analysis required.
Democrats keep saying billionaires shouldn’t exist. Apparently that doesn’t apply to their billionaires.
Can Data Die? Tracking the Lenna Image
Personal attacks and accusations of ignorance are not welcome here. The average renter doesn't understand supply and demand? Really?

Zillow isn't the only big buyer of homes, and not all buyers are doing it to flip. The problem is renting in general. I would welcome regulations that bar any institution or individual from owning more than a handful of rental properties, and some kind of incentive for mortgage lenders to de-emphasize down-payments in lending.

Hell, I'd like to hear a great debate on the ethics of renting-without-equity, period. Perhaps all residential units should offer equity in the living space over time, even apartments. Eliminate the renter class altogether by bringing everyone into the ownership class.

I’m not an economist but it feels to me like more most be going on. Capital is flowing into real estate because the people investing feel that they don’t have better places to put it. The fed is struggling to get capital into the places that would lift employment, like new buildings, infrastructure, new business formation, and instead a lot of that money is going to bid things up

I've sold two houses in normal markets without an agent doing what the above poster mentioned. I talked to a handful of seller agents and none could articulate any value over just doing a flat-fee MLS listing. Some were completely unwilling to come down to 4 or 5% commission and typically the ones who insisted on 6% also insisted on listing the house below market value.

I was more than happy to plop down a couple hundred to list on MLS and pay the buyer agent a 2% commission. We had a pretty boilerplate purchase agreement and then the title company handled the rest.
It’s how things should be. I don’t bucket people into good and evil. They’re right about A,B,C and wrong about D,E,F. It’s terrible that people’s views on morality tie so closely to the policy platforms of the two major political parties in the west. As if either of them has it totally right/totally wrong.
Homes that are not bought to live in should be taxed in a fundamentally different manner.
Speak for yourself, please.

I sold my home in 2019. At the time there was already a frenzy, multiple bidders, buying on day one. Just like today. The guy who bought my house went 30% over asking. I wasn't willing to be rushed, so just sold and didn't buy. I'm in no hurry to buy - I've been enjoying traveling the country. But I don't enjoy the gouging I've been taking on rent, admittedly.

Secondly, there are no zoning problems where I live. The problem is exactly Blackrock buying tens of homes per week. That and migration.

A progressive property tax, or other limits on investment homes would alleviate the problems I've seen firsthand.

Here's an interesting bit of...abuse :) Since Bash is effectively stringly-typed, it can be used as a functional programming language, with pipes similar to function composition.

e.g.: wtfp.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

map() {
local fn="$1"

local input
while read -r input; do
"${fn}" "${input}"
done
}

reduce() {
local fn="$1"
local init="$2"

local input
local output="${init}"

while read -r input; do
output="$("${fn}" "${output}" "${input}")"
done

echo "${output}"
}

filter() {
local fn="$1"

local input
while read -r input; do
"${fn}" "${input}" && echo "${input}"
done
}

add() {
echo $(( $1 + $2 ))
}

increment() {
echo $(( $1 + 1 ))
}

square() {
echo $(( $1 * $1 ))
}

even() {
return $(( $1 % 2 ))
}

sum() {
reduce add 0
}

map increment | map square | filter even | sum

...then:

$ printf "%s\n" 1 2 3 4 5 | ./wtfp.sh

Doing that locally is perfectly fine; it's the (surprising) act of sending it over the network which isn't acceptable.
Don't mean to drag this on, not arguing with you guys but, can you not do a small part, like a puddle. Not the entire universe. I realize that's still a lot but you know, maybe you could do small sets/chunk it but yeah it's all bs on my part.

I'm not remotely defending Israel, or castigating Palestine.

If someone said 'UK Muslims are 'assets' of Hamas'' - they would be fired and nobody would have much to say about it.

And FYI I'm no supporter of any 'side'.
i don't think that's consistent with history. there used to be a large number of Java implementations; by far the biggest reason why they (almost) all died out is because Sun agreed to open up their implementation. IBM still maintains J9, and while that's only part of a full Java implementation, I don't see any reason why Apache Harmony or GNU Classpath couldn't be revived and combined with it for a high-performance Oracle-less Java implementation. there is major precedent for this in the form of GNU/Linux, where substantial parts of the userspace are provided by GNU, but the kernel is a separate project.
If we could mandate that a product can only be sold if the entire lifecycle is sustainable then technically it could continue. This includes the company taking responsibility for disposal and recycling of anything they produce.

The current model of transferring materials from source, through consumers and then direct to landfill where they sit forever can only end one way.

Personal story, I sold my home in Austin in July of this year. I was going to sell it myself but instead found a 1% broker. It was listed at $525k and I would have taken $495k. Because I don't negotiate for a living and because $495k is a lot in comparison to what I paid, _anyone_ could have easily talked me down from $525k. But because they called the broker instead of me the property sold for $547k. The broker also encouraged me to offer only 2.5% to the buyer agent instead of the 3% that is typical.

So yes, if you can keep your cool, keep your mouth shut, forget how much you already profited, and have a bit of greed in you, then sell it yourself. Otherwise outsource this job and pay as little as you can for it.

Also, just curious… How does developing for ARKit work? Does the Xcode Simulator have “virtual rooms” to test your code in, or do you have to compile and run from a real device each time?
“ Miller says the goal is to “defeat the ideology of Zionism in practice” and “to end Zionism… as a functioning ideology of the world”.”
That’s nutty in a world where nobody really hears Palestinian voices. In 50 years, the world will get there as Israel becomes more right wing, and the Jewish diaspora becomes less connected to Israel.
Yes, but part of the idea still stands. Changing the language in order to fit an ideology.

In case of 1984, words were removed, in this case words are being added, but I bet that they plan to remove gendered words if this gets through.

> Nevertheless, the first thing after defining a new OS interface must be writing a POSIX API translation layer, to be able to use without modifications the huge number of already existing programs.

I disagree. POSIX sucks. Build a hypervisor so people can run their applications in a VM and insist that native programs use the non-garbage API. It's the only way you'll ever unshackle yourself.
IMHO blaming the price increases in nimbyism is equally lazy. There are plenty of places in the US with no shortage of land and no harsh zoning restrictions that are still seeing huge increases in housing prices. I think your second factor plays a much larger role. Interest rates are well below where they should be and the government will buy up just about any conforming mortgage. The cost of raw materials plays a role as well, but smaller.
By the way, do these AR goggles solve the problem of focus distance?

(i.e. the eyes needs to focus onto an object if it is nearby, and shouldn't always focus on infinity)
If you actually examine the war doctrine of the US, or consider that the US and its allies by and large provide for the stability of world trade through tumultuous regions, yes. Only if you've been engrossed in Russian or Chinese state media would you think otherwise.

“If the company were to sell all of its Phoenix homes right now at their list prices, it would lose $6.3 million dollars.”

Over 224 homes, we’re not exactly talking about a huge loss here. Sure, profit is better than loss, but 6mil to learn some lessons in building out a new division in a company isn’t all that bad in the grand scheme of things.

There is no way that it will become a mainstream activity until vr headsets are as comfortable as a pair of reading glasses.

There also needs to be a major cultural shift. VR forces you to turn off your loved ones. You can't see or hear them at all.

Whats more, VR will only every occupy the space that gaming does now because it's an "active" activity that requires you to do something. It will never replace TV which allows you to turn off the decision making part of your brain.

Fire in a built-up environment, or indoors can be very counterintuitive, too. Fast. If you haven't experienced it, you can't know. Also the next one can be counterintuitive differently, depending on environment. I'd guess the same is true for large forest fires, but I haven't experienced those, so far. Phew!
