When you reduce price on a house listed on Zillow and Redfin right now, it bumps it to the top of taxonomy-based cues on those sites because of the information update, which increases overall recommendations/listing promotion to potential buyers. It's a new step in getting a property sold introduced by technology dynamics. Price reductions in traditional real estate listings worked differently (You were not refreshed on MRIS). with everyone performing price reductions though, that can have mis-leading effect on economic indicators, and it can also create harmful price reduction "panic" in certain markets though, so this is going to be a burgeoning issue moving forward.

I am luckily both a web developer and knowledgeable about real estate, most people don't properly understand the dynamics that are impacted/introduced into the market by technology and algorithms... People assume the traditional real estate market rules are still in play primarily still, but technology has complicated everything... That's also why Zillow overbought homes, because people making critical decisions too often put "traditional pre-tech" real estate market concerns over considering modern impacts of IT to their decisions.

My house sold within 2.5 months overall, it was not on the market for a long time.

You're right but it's basically the culture which is (usually?) a chicken and egg problem.
Yeah. I liked it when I used it, but it's not actually an emacs replacement in a general sense. There's a much smaller community and set of extensions (plug-ins in their term, packages in emacs). It was pleasant to use as a notebook front-end with Maxima and Octave when I used them.
They did this for the new iMac, albeit only the ethernet port. It's the one that makes the most sense and doesn't appear to result in a larger brick, which I imagine would be considered a requirement by Apple.

I believe there's some third-party hubs available that provide power and ports galore via one or two thunderbolt cables, but you're looking at at least $200.
side note first, dialectic materialism is as modernist and 'truthy' as it gets. It stands in stark contrast to the the kind of thinking you appear to disagree with.

To the main point, you're honestly just being sentimental. You're calling secular philosophers nihilistic, predatory, accuse them of trickery but you're not actually making a point to be honest. They may be all those things, that doesn't mean their arguments are bad.

The article talks about a very foundational question. Can metaphysics make progress? Is it possible to come to consensus when in fact everyone, as you put it, has to accept someone else's ontological premises in arbitrary fashion?

The answer to that question is probably not, and Wittengestein, Rorty, and the mentioned pragmatists have deflated this kind of discourse successfully. Pay close attention to your own rhetoric

"it's just designed to homogenize and liquify culture to produce nihilistic ideologues who can't be trusted as fellow citizens to share a recourse to truth."

This is not an argument, that's someone saying "don't listen to the devil kids". It's appealing to a notion of truth as a sort of communal protection racket because you don't like the consequences of Rorty et al being right. In fact even worse, you're doing the sort of power play you're accusing the philosophers in question of. "They are trying to homogenize our culture, don't listen to them!, if we don't believe in capital T Truth, everything will fall apart!"
Sure! Though a more interesting test would be the total useful lifespan of either phone, Pine vs your Samsung. Oh, and I already have over a year and a half on mine :D

> starcraft isn't really an interesting problem for AI to solve

I completely disagree. This is much more interesting than the toy problems that most academics work on.

RL problems in this space are inherently difficult since you only get 1bit of “ground truth” information (win/loss) at the end of a game and have to guess which of your actions contributed to that outcome. Sure you can throw hardware at the problem, but you’ve got a huge incentive to minimize costs.

It’s only recently that the default consensus for RL problems changed from “this is an inherently creative endeavor and needs human input” to “you can probably do it if you throw enough GPUs at the problem”.
We need to take back our lives from the permanent Covid panic-mongers
It has nothing to do with sense and only to do with feelings on all sides. I also mask because I have elderly family and I care that they will die if they get sick at this point, I’m doing my part to minimize the impact on others with what is essentially a zero cost effort. It’s literally the least one can do, next to washing their hands thoroughly, and covering the mouth when coughing or sneezing. That last one is something many people still don’t do, so I’d be happy with a social expectation of fully covering one’s face when expelling saliva and mucus.
I was going to write a top-level comment, but yours hit the nail on the head. For me, the biggest change after hitting 40 is that I can establish boundaries now.

I'm currently at 30 hours per week, 3 days in office and 1-2 at home. We hear a lot about F-U money, but not an F-U approach to making it happen. I feel that reclaiming 1 day per week for our personal development projects in one of the first pillars of F-U money. I'm only working now so that eventually I won't have to work for money, so that I can begin the real work of building an automated solarpunk future.

I spent most of my 20s and 30s practically killing myself for projects, either at work or independently. When I hit 40, my health crashed and I went through the worst burnout of my life for the year of 2019, before COVID-19 in 2020. It felt like the part of my brain that handles problem solving and decision making died. So I lost almost all executive function and could barely get out of bed. I had to relearn how to make todo lists and strategize, and rebuild my resilience.

Turns out that I had developed food sensitivities to the staples I had been eating, specifically Mexican food (my favorite) and dairy. When the immune system becomes sensitized to certain foods, it disrupts serotonin, which can lead to depression. Diets high in legumes and nightshades, without supplementation (B vitamins, minerals, fiber, probiotics, yogurt, etc), are higher risk because of how the anti-nutrients in them bind to the vitamins and minerals we need. I think this is where the stigma around vegetarianism and veganism comes from, but I digress.

Anyway, I discovered ADHD and autism TikTok and went through a healing and growth process the last 2-3 years, like a lot of you I imagine. Which mostly involves shadow work and addressing the low hanging fruit like diet, meditation, inner monologue, etc.

Now I see the healing and growth that the world needs to do, which it has not done, because powerful forces work tirelessly to prevent it and maintain the status quo.

My point with all of this is, there can be anxiety with breaking the 40 barrier. I think it's helpful to flip the mindset from "I'm anxious about this" to "I'm excited about this". The body and mind can't tell the difference, because they are strongly rooted in this reality. But our higher selves can observe and nurture, transmuting negative energy into positive energy over time.

I've found that after 40, I have much deeper wells of assistive energy and empathy. I've come to understand that we're all one. So now I see zero-sum games and people scrambling for a piece of the pie, which is mostly a waste of time and even kind of embarrassing to witness in these times. Better to think more broadly. Not so much "how will I make it through this", but more "what can I do to help" and start there.
Yeah, each MLS org has its own data set which is a giant pain in the ass for the newspapers who are publishing listings for the MLSes in their areas. I don't know if they ever standardized it, but I know that one of the first tasks I had as a new dev for a newspaper back in the early 00s was to build a tool to take the data and normalize it into a single CSV.
> If a certain car model has a high top speed, this may be suggestive evidence that the engine is well designed, but the top speed itself is not considered an example good design.

I don’t think this is a useful analogy. Top speed is a randomly picked metric, which presumably most car buyers don’t care for.

Once you get into the exotic super car car segment, then one could say that a super car that only tops out at 60mph or is 0-60 in 8 seconds is poorly designed… and more so if they care about performance over other measures (reliability, crash safety, fuel efficiency, comfort, etc).

A design document has both functional and non functional requirements.

> but just the fact that something doesn't break isn't good design.

If your non functional requirements optimize for reliability and consistency, and that’s exactly what your implementation does while making reasonable trade offs, that’s the exact hallmark of not just a good but great design.
It doesn't matter if you use original assets or not. Duplicating the heart of a work, in any way, is copyright infringement. Even streaming a video game, against the wishes of the copyright holders, is copyright infringement. Recording of playing a video game is not your own work.

U.S. copyright law is absolutely gross, we are used to these companies choosing to not enforce infringement and targeting specific people/projects.

I don't know about shop prices, but it used to be possible to make contracts in EUR or USD, especially when loans in those currencies were involved.

For example if a company would build a shopping center using loans in EUR, and then would rent the shops in EUR.

This practice has been banned, I think at the time of the previous currency crisis (2018) and now prices must be in local currency
FYI the international building code has a deceptive name. It's essentially the US building code.

> it is the International Building Code ... used in multiple locations worldwide, including the 15 countries of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), Jamaica, and Georgia. Furthermore, the IBC has served as the basis for legislative building codes in Mexico, Abu Dhabi, and Haiti, among other places.

But it is gambling, it's just that you're gambling your interest foregone rather than the principal.

I'd like to hear more about people who have officially cut down their hours for pay cut at what sorts of companies, and how they negotiated it!
I think it's more often subtle morality/superiority signaling by calling an entity by a different name.

Think Republicans referring to the "Democrat party" instead of the "Democratic" or people using "CCP" instead of "China".
> Moderates are the largest group at roughly 40% of the population. People with extreme views represent approximately 10% of the population in 2018 but only about 5% in 1975.

Okay this is amazing and makes me feel so much better that everyone is only pretending to agree with whichever loud ideological extremist is most convenient for them

Very strange survey though
Why would I trust any info on a DAO? How would something like this prevent me from being screwed by a group like ConstitutionDAO?
you need to really buy in to the company's tech stack and development ethos.

You need to be of the mindset that you're hired to help the company. The company has a certain tech stack and development ethos, so you're hired to help them with that. Just because you know there are better ways to do it, your job is still to help them do it their way.

It can be possible to get them to change development ethos, but this is a big deal and uses a lot of political capital. If you can really convince most people that it's better, you'll be seen as a senior tech leader for sure. But if you're optimizing for the best performance reviews -- in other words, the incentives the company has set for you -- then it's usually better just to work within the system.

"To be a leader, you need to have followers." So leadership isn't having the best product, e.g. the way Google is a leader in search. It's more like class elections in high school, it's a popularity contest. Your job is to figure out what people are complaining about or advocating for, and do those. Most likely, everybody is used to the development ethos and just thinks it's the only or obvious way to do things. So nobody is really complaining about it.
Someone I know designed a wood-splitting axe where the central part of the blade has a high center-of-mass and freely pivots in order to kick apart the pieces once the axe hits the wood. It’s an ingenious design based on simple physics, and works quite well. There’s no purchasing info at the link below; it’s a small company whose main focus is on machines for metal roofing, so I suppose it requires a phone call or email to them to find out more.

Yeah, completely bizarre conclusion with no substantiation. What is the agenda there?
Couldn't you fly up a satellite with a small gun and a propulsion engine? You don't have to be much faster than the starlink satellites to eventually shoot down all of them, and it shouldn't take a big gun to make a satellite stop working. At least it should be way cheaper to destroy it than to build the network.
yupyupyup, you got it. :)
Mainframe hardware and software has been documented to an extent to which the AS/400 and later hardware has never been. Extensive documentation was available for the S/38 (including source listings) but many details of the AS/400 have deliberately been kept under wraps.

Ray Sefarth Introduction to 64 Bit Intel Assembly Language Programming for Linux was what we used in my architecture class. I thought it was good coming from only knowing Java at the time.

That class alone laid the world flat for me in regards to the "totality" of software development. Literally everything comes down to the 1's and 0's running through millions of transistors or whatever they are in the CPU. You are literally sending electric pulses through a rock and getting it to talk :)
The debris field would move generally with its original momentum, meaning I wouldn’t expect hitting one to take out the others in the same string.
This is probably a good starting point: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/

Essentially, if you already have a node or multiple nodes that have Docker, you can initialize a swarm with:

docker swarm init --advertise-addr <MANAGER-IP>

And, optionally, add nodes as workers to the cluster:

docker swarm join --token <JOIN-TOKEN> <MANAGER-IP>:2377

And then you can deploy stacks:

docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml my_stack

Here's a tutorial about stacks: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/stack-deploy/

You'll probably want to read up on the Compose specification and the values that Docker Swarm and Docker Compose support since last i checked there were some differences in v2 / v3 (which many people still use): https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/

Of course, if you want a less steep learning curve for actually running Swarm, depending on your personal preferences (GUI vs CLI), you might want to have a look at Portainer, which is a lovely and simple dashboard: https://www.portainer.io/

From there, it should mostly be a matter of running multiple replicas of each of your services and doing rolling updates, while having a stable load balancer in front of everything: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3...

Also, you'll probably want health checks because Swarm can then route traffic to containers only after they have truly started: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3...
>define what value and relevance a license has for such

Government compliance? India is a democracy. Tech may move faster, but that doesn't mean it's right. Voters decide what's right, ultimately.

The Amish are wise in this: wait for the community to approve technology, and only then apply it to their lives. The Government of India doesn't need to be held hostage by cybermancers, they can decide tech usefulness on their own time.
> Quick: name a historical Black scientist who didn't work with peanuts.

I like to think of myself as an educated person, and I’m struggling with this. I’d struggle also to name an Indian or Chinese or Russian historical scientist. This reflects a White Western English bias in educational system imo. Also my own responsibility to do something about as well.
I don’t have this and I have iCloud backup off for most things and so the 5gb free plan is more than enough.

Is it possible you’re interpreting the reminder to use the free tier of iCloud to back up essential iPhone data as an ad?

If you don’t back up photos video and email you can likely remain on the free plan indefinitely. I don’t consider this an ad.

Theres a good video here from a british hedge fund manager on why zillows real estate market making doesn't make sense: https://youtu.be/eDc4saE5m9k

The main insights are that market makers hold assets for a short period of time making money on the spread between buyers and sellers offers. Zillow had to hold on to houses for a long time and was speculating that the houses would be worth more in the future which is not market making.
"Second World" was the Soviet Union and its allies. SA most likely was a part of the First World.

I've always been curious about that, but I try to only vouch for substantive comments that are devoid of flamebait (with which the ancestor comment appears to be chockablock). I try not to vouch on agreement / flag on disagreement -- that's what up&downvoting is for. Not for any particular concern about my internet points or vouching privileges, but because I like what HN aims for.
I don't know if it was released for Famicom, but Tengen (Atari) had also released their version of Tetris for the NES, which hews closely to the coin-op Tetris. It was famously removed from the market because of licensing clarifications, Tengen didn't have the license to release Tetris on home gaming platforms, like they thought they did.
Perhaps I did suggest principal level isn't worth it. Most of my friends have taken the first 10-20 years off the resume - or have dramatically shrunk it.

Restored genuine vintage Alps or Matias Click.

Whether the Alps are "best of the best" is a matter of personal preference.

Matias' switches are modern clones of the vintage Alps switches. They have a poor reputation for reliability though, sadly.
The companies making mining hardware are even more centralized. Bitmain has been estimated to control 80% (!) of the mining market[1]. That stat is a few years old now, but if you look at purchase orders for large public miners, the centralization seems even more pronounced.

Special effects are not bad per se. The problem is that these days, a lot of movies use FX as a substitute for storytelling.

Just consider Blade Runner: It is just stunning, visually, but it uses these visuals to tell a story, not to distract from a lack of story.

That being said, I agree: Given the choice between good storytelling and good visuals, I'll take a good story any day.

And while we're in this era, let's not forget about "The Third Man", "The Maltese Falcon", or "Double Indemnity".
Education. The big hype for Python in the early aughts was that it was simple and legible enough for nearly anyone to learn to code. All my classes (except for Operating Systems) were in Python.
The Mayo paper seems to be quite slanted against psychological aspects.

There is quite a lot of research, and it shows that both stressful life events and viral infections tend to be triggers. (We know that viral infections are physiologically stressful, in that they activate the HPA axis).

There is also an abundance of evidence that psychological therapy and multidisciplinary rehabilitation helps patients. So this definitely isn't just laziness in saying "maybe it's psychological".

The Seattle metro area has eagerly ripped up and paved over every rail line it could find during my decades of living here. The area used to have an extensive network of rail - all gone, now.

Even while they were designing the Seattle light rail system, they were still destroying the last of the existing rail corridors so they could not be used for light rail (the rail line that ran parallel to I405, the perfect place for commuter light rail).

The kindest thing one could say about this is it's incomprehensible.

You don't get runaway inflation if the value of your imports is somewhere in the neighborhood of the value of your exports (a fairly large imbalance is fine).

You do get runaway inflation when your import needs far exceed your export ability, you print money but prices rise continually faster than you print, regardless of how fast you print.
