5% down on a 400k place is 20k.

Sure, I suppose someone earning a normal wage could scrounge together 20k in, let's say, 5-10 years, but then they would use *ALL* of their savings and have no emergency fund anymore, to use that 20k. Further, then you look at all the costs you get hit by when buying a house such as closing, etc, and that 20k turns out to be 28k, so they'll need to save for even more years.

And now the house isn't 400k, it's 450 or 500, so instead of 20k, they instead need 25k, and with closing costs, now it's 35k because those went up proportionally, as well.
Perhaps it would be great opportunity for you to clean install macOS to start anew and start fresh from there without worrying about lingering old files in the system.
>Much like Notion and other block editing methods, site content is represented in a JSON format. Each block has a type, for example, a block of Paragraph would have the type "Paragraph" and would be represented by {"type":"paragraph", "text": "Hello World"}, and an image would have the type "Image" represented by {"type":"image", "url":"http://placekitten.com/200/300"}. A page consists of an array of blocks representing the blocks in the page. A page that consists of a Heading, a Paragraph, and an Image would be represented by an array of maps with types “heading”, “paragraph”, and “image” respectively. A block can also have children. For example, a block of type “Container” may have 3 children of “Paragraph” blocks. It’s very similar to the DOM structure.

Why not make a DOM Editor then with virtual components? The JSON<>React serialization doesn't seem to offer much value, unless it's purely mechanical.

handrous explained my question exactly right.

Windows 10 is still supported until 2025 and nobody would be surprised if they extend it two more years. If I were setting up a new machine today, I would probably still install Windows 10. Anything new is an unknown from a security perspective.
Indeed. All my kids went through a huge Minecraft obsession along with their friends but have all now moved on to Roblox. They find the "games" more entertaining to build and play now. It's become the social hang-out just to chat with friends as well. The Roblox VR experience is pretty fun too.

My only problem with Roblox is that it's not on the Switch and they all want better tablets and computers to play it now.

Yes, there is. Instead of publicly auto-tagging you on the photo, FB could notify you that someone had uploaded a photo of you, and offer you to either:

What's the solution to Gish Gallopers?

The issue this article is talking about is you can very quickly generate hundreds of bad studies and outright lies that take decades to discredit. And even after all that effort, those studies will STILL be cited not because of the validity, but the narrative.

For example, vaccines an autism. We have so many high quality studies proving with as much certainty as you can in medicine that vaccines do not cause autism. Yet that's a claim that hasn't died off yet (And Mr. Wakefield's fraud study with the initial lie is STILL cited as if there were some sort of conspiracy to cover it up).

So what's the solution? It's easier to quickly lie than it is to experiment and prove. It's easier to falsify data than it is to prove data was falsified.

What other choice is there but to lean on consensus and reputation?
My experience in corporate IT convinced me that even if an entire release could be automated down to a single press of a giant red button (and even if undoing the release could be another, single button), then culturally our organization would still figure out a way to turn the pressing of that button into a six hour ordeal requiring the participation of twelve people.
Sadly, the moratoria were supposed to be buffered with rental assistance programs. But administration was left up to individual states, and many did nothing, or hired apparently incompetent contractors. As of July, only 11% of the allocated rental assistance was disbursed.

Just tie the "first home" tax exemption back to a person by making business entities a pass-through to the registered agent (or some other single officer). i.e., an LLC can't claim the exemption, but the agent can pass their exemption through the LLC to a property.
That depends on the the practices in that place. Many places have little no significant backlog and low expenditures. It’s all a matter of how the municipality contracts out the work, who gets the work and how, what work is prioritized etc.
One issue with that is that using 1 for success conflicts with the nearly universal Unix convention of using 0 for success.

C requires exit(0) to indicate a successful status. The OpenVMS C library translates that to a status of 1.

A lot of C code uses exit(1) to indicate failure, but it indicates success in OpenVMS. (Use EXIT_FAILURE, a macro defined in <stdlib.h>, instead.)
Zillow is selling 7000 homes into a market that moves 800,000 homes annually, and (apparently) for a loss to Zillow. Zillow has approx $6B in total assets, and this anchor is big enough to tank them if they screw it up enough.

This is not some secret cabal of market manipulators - it's a company trying to leverage their knowledge of the housing market into an investment, and they did not do well.

Well, if they believe that, then they're almost certainly right there, too.

* New construction isn't going up fast enough, so the housing supply will decrease and
* the number of people that want to buy a home increases as long as the total population of an area increase. Bundle that with
* fewer people getting married, and you need more houses per person than before, and that further reduces the housing supply; AND, further that with the reality that
* houses are seen as an investment vehicle, so anything that reduces the value of a house rather than increases it causes people to recoil back because that's literally their retirement in there (see Australia's housing situation, for example)

Housing prices can only go up without the entire financial system changing.

It's a very, very good bet as long as major things don't change.

Just curious what your cost differences are between a dedicated EC2 instance and lambdas. For our organization an EC2 instance was at best 8-10 times more expensive than lambdas.
Self driving cars will eventually be significantly less expensive than current vehicles. They will be small and electric inexpensive to operate and trips will be very cheap.

When the cost of a trip drops, more trips will be made. If self-driving succeeds to the point where I can send my car to pick up my dry cleaning or food without needing to be in the car, then expect the number of vehicles on the road to go up a lot.

We might be able to pack two times as many cars on the road and make intersections way more efficient, but that won't be enough.
I finally caved and got myself a copy, because the spreadsheet capabilities of Excel are still unrivaled compared to free alternatives. If you watch the classic "You suck at Excel" video, you'll see that there are numerous actions the presenter does that do not have analogs in LibreOffice nor Google Sheets. The table feature is probably the one I miss the most; in fact, I really like how in the Mac program Numbers, all sheets are multi-table by default. It makes it much easier to group parts of the sheet into logical sections, and to extend one table without affecting the others.
Maybe a good screenwriter could have fixed that, who knows?
First, they won't necessarily let you renounce your citizenship, if they decide they don't like your reason for doing it. More importantly, they won't allow it unless you first leave the country where you were born, which is not something anyone should be required to do, and you won't necessarily be permitted to ever return e.g. to see your family. And even if you did renounce your citizenship they'll still claim you owe them taxes, so it's a very expensive way to fail to solve the problem.

There is no "agreement". They arbitrarily and unilaterally decide that you're a citizen, and impose their rules. If you're not a citizen they still impose their rules, but with even less regard for your natural rights.
I also struggle a lot with the limitations I have, frustrated at being so slow and stupid. I've also relied on flashcards as an augmentation, but I've started to question its value. For language we're already wired to pick up on it without tools like flashcards. As I think back, like most people (I assume) I learned English through watching TV without subtitles, and reading online. I didn't speak much (if at all) until I was about 20. By then I was pretty much fluent, just from TV and the internet, no flashcards nor lots of output (like conversations) needed. Ironically, I'm in the process of building a language learning tool, but it's aimed at bringing interesting native content (TV) down to a level where a lower intermediate learner can enjoy and learn from it.

Anyway, my hope is that the difference in performance between me and those more naturually "gifted" is in how they use the neurons they have, maybe there's a way for me to find a better way to use what I have. I think the key to this is spatial as well as social reasoning and memory. We're already wired to excel at these things. I can barely remember the formula for cross entropy loss, but I remember the layout and details of that coffee shop I frequented 10 years ago in a different country without much effort. Jeff Hawkins talking about thought through reference frames and movement in his book on the brain really indicates to me that taking the effort to encode our knowledge spatially, i.e. finding the right representation, rather than trying to beat it into our heads with spaced repetition is a bette rway. I've also noticed that when I can tie ideas to a face, a person, I'm more likely to remember them. I think a good way for me to remember science and math is to learn the history of the subject, like who invented/discovered what in what order, where (possibly) and why, i.e. what's the story behind it all.

I don't like mnemonics, because they're basically garbage encodings. They make it possible to retrieve a memory, very slowly, but don't encode things in a way such that you can reason over them. It's the difference between one-hot encoding a word in NLP vs a semantic word embedding.

Admitedly, containers were more fun back when you could get two weeks demurrage free. That stopped being athing long before covid, so, when they charged for unloading taking longer then 2 hours. I had a consulting gig where I tried to sell the cliwnt on using a cross dock facility near the port to get stuff out of boxes, on pallets and then on trucks. Failed to to disuade him from using some container railway yard, all of that managed by his tradituonal forwarder without much overaight, before the whole project broke down end of 2020.

Thanks! It’s always interesting when someone posts some new portal of knowledge into a niche that I didn’t realize existed. Especially when there’s already a nice book summing up the field.

Why are you generating *private keys* for users, then sharing them? Not that this impacts the automation bits but IMHO users should known how to generate and maintain a key pair, and send you the public key.

The issue most people have are formatting problems when opening OOXML docs in LO.

Considering that .doc is an older, simpler and had been frozen for a long time, maybe its compatibility is better. I'll try asking people that send me OOXML to convert it .doc the next time to see how better it is compatibility-wise.
Oh boy! It seems that hell has frozen over. I thought it’s simply not possible that any Linux system will run Internet Explorer… ehm, sorry, Edge without exploding.

The worse problem is that road pricing is effectively a regressive tax. It most hurts the people who need it most, and are least able to afford it.

An excellent exposition! This is the way mathematics should be taught.

This is a great explanation of Gaussian curvature and Bezier curves, splines, and patches, B-Splines, NURBS, and subdivision surfaces. It reads like a story, and nothing is introduced without the reader having an understanding why it's needed, what problem it solves, and how. One thing I wish was mentioned (in the final notes, perhaps):

The surfaces formed by dragging lines in space are called Ruled Surfaces, and have many interesting applications in fields ranging from pure math to architecture[1].

If you have ever seen string art in two or three dimensions[2], it's the same thing.

Hyperboloid[3] is an example of particular importance, as it allows for building light, structurally sound structures - particularly, towers and domes[4].

You have walked up a Helicoid[5] if you ever went up or down a spiral staircase[6]. This would give you an intuition about the seeming paradox of having a curved surface made out of straight lines.

The Mobius Strip[7] is a ruled surface of a special kind: it only has one side (an ant crawling on a Mobius strip would eventually walk over both sides of the piece of paper it was made from, without ever touching the boundary).

It has always surprised me just how much complexity one can get out of one simple rule. But that's why math is interesting :)

OpenBSD maintains a chromium fork that is outfitted with pledge() and unveil(), and Edge belongs in that package repository with similar safety features.

Edge should do what is necessary to get there, and this means opening the source.
It gives a uniform interface (the run method) for each step. You can also, then, encapsulate more logic around that particular step if it needs more than just a single run function or some other stateful component.

It really is amazing that Sun and HP had the hubris to design their own RISC processors in SPARC and PA-RISC; everything that was wrong with the Unix workstation market in the 90s can be summed up there, in a way. Proprietary CPUs and custom repackagings of Unix, all slightly different, but in reality they weren't different enough to justify. And this just left room for Microsoft and Linux and x86 to just come up the middle and make them all obselete.

Lots of vendors throwing around "open" this and "open" that but none of them meant it. Just try writing a GUI app for a Unix machine in the mid 90s. Motif was closed source, with licensing fees. Things like GTK and QT were still primitive. Xt was garbage. It was just a hodge podge of things with the assumption that anybody entering the market had hugely deep pockets.

If they'd all just united around POWER architecture at least maybe they'd have had a chance?

Edge's implementation of vertical tabs is probably the best I've seen yet. You can get something similar in Firefox with extensions and userchrome edits, but custom userchrome can't be relied on since they're removing it at some point, and vertical tab extensions without the userchrome edits are very awkward (redundant tab bar, stupid sidebar header that can't be hidden).

I really wish some FOSS browser would clone Edge's setup. Preferably something built with Gecko or WebKit to help oppose Chromium hegemony.
Laughing at other peoples' opinions doesn't make you more correct. Corporations copying each other to increase profit does not prove this is the right thing to do for all users.
Houses don’t go up in value. It’s the land. What makes a piece of land valuable is it proximity to work and leisure. Land in growing cities and towns should go up in value. The only way to make housing price constant is to give people the ability to tear down an old building and built something higher. That’s how cities like Tokyo have more stable housing prices compared to western cities.
This is awesome. Is there any way to add custom hooks to a create/update/delete operation? For example, I want to call run a script or program every time a user is created; for example to add that user to an LDAP directory or remote server.
