> what they should do is assess this on a case-by-case basis and pay the rent for people in genuine need.

I theorize this is infeasible in the US at the national level because there are probably regions in the US with insufficient manpower to do this manual review (though someone might correct me on this). It's easier to throw money at the problem by giving money to those who don't need it than it is to hire and maintain headcount.

I suspect this because this is far from a new problem. People have long abused welfare in the US who don't actually need it because the review process is incredibly lax (which in turn perpetuates the idea among the American right that government welfare is a waste of resources).

Though aside, I'm always wary of believing stories I read on the internet that paint the political situation in a certain light even if they're allegedly from individuals. But I've personally known people in real life who bragged about abusing welfare before, so I know that's a thing (though I don't recommend you take my word for it).

I find "reverse a string" a good interview question then! If the applicant got lost in considering all possible interpretations instead of just solving it how 99% of humans/engineers would understand it, then they will likely be unfit for working in a team and/or have poor communication skills.

That's different in several ways.

First, it isn't truly a "mandate". It applies to the vast majority of people and the vast majority of those people comply without complaint, true - but it's possible to avoid it if that's your intent.

My wife and I homeschool our children. While vaccination requirements have absolutely nothing to do with our decision to do so, it has given us the opportunity to consider which vaccinations we feel make sense for our children, and which we feel don't. I'd have to go back through their records to be sure which ones we decided against, but there are some things we vaccinate against as a society where the both the incidence rate and potential severity are extremely low, and the risk of serious side effects - while also extremely low - outweighs the potential reward in our eyes. Through this process, we also decided that it made sense to use a different vaccination schedule than is typical, and to do separate injections for things that are usually "bundled" (e.g., MMR).

Second, those measures effect children, not adults. While I don't agree with this position, it's generally accepted that the state has greater latitude in protecting the health and safety of minors than with adults.

Finally, there are people who vocally oppose at least some of the childhood vaccination requirements. Merck lobbied for the inclusion of an HPV vaccine (Gardasil) in the requirements for school, which got a lot of flack from the right. IMO, their rationale was silly ("It promotes sexual activity!"), but that's still an example of people strongly opposing a vaccine requirement.
I tried going through this procedure a few days ago. The "selfie scan" felt very invasive, and I really wonder how effective it is. I renewed my expired driver's license online, so I didn't get a new photo. The picture from the license that the selfie scan was going off of was a highschool-era photo of me with no beard. It said it was a match though.

I had to use my laptop for the scan since when I was trying it on my phone, it kept telling me that it couldn't find any face.

In the end, I couldn't get verified because I just moved, and all my identification has my old address.

I know this may sound far-fetched, but: tenants need to organize at the condominium/neighborhood level, and a coalition of tenant organizations needs to go out on a rent strike. Properly arranged, a community of renters can both make it difficult for police to evict (i.e. mass presence during attempted evictions), and also provide safe havens for evictees followed by reintroducing them into the apartments they were evicted from.

At first I thought I just needed to adjust my password generator to get a valid password (usually 64 chars with alpha-numerics and special characters), but even the simplest passwords failed with the same error message.

What's great about this amount of content being produced is the globalization of content production. The biggest hit of last year was made in Korea. More and more shows on Netflix are being made globally. It will become more prevalent as various streaming services try to get an edge over competition by cutting costs this way.

Best piece of advice, take a stand. Have a perspective. And stay focused on a small amount of things that you care about. This might start out as one thing - which is completely fine. The rest, make sure you set up a scheme where you are empowering others, and there is someone who is directly in charge of other tasks, and delegate it to someone, or a specific team. The worst is when something is "everyone's job" - but make sure that the person who is in charge knows how to solicit opinion and isn't a dictator. Make sure you can use the team to give you the info you need, so you can make decisions. Making (good informed) decisions is your best point of leverage to keep things flowing, but make sure you are making decision at your level (and not too low, which is micromanagement). Feel free to redirect decisions that are someone else's to make. Don't be a single point of failure, empower others. Default to using questions, as opposed to prescribing answers as a tool for mentoring your direct reports. Make sure you are doing 1-on-1's and anything else that lets you see the truth of the state of things, and also so you can see peoples weaknesses and strengths so you can delegate tasks appropriately and coach up that talent.

Meeting with people, Hiring, setting up correct processes are your main tools.

Realistically their B2C accounts are a sales funnel for their B2B. Because I was familiar with it for my own use, my employer uses it and they make much more money that way.

Because they also let you get free family accounts if your company uses it, they presumably then rope in a lot of individuals for personal use who then become incentivised to want their next employer to use 1password too.

> As developers who start writing big servers learn, scale matters. Crap you'd never think twice about when running a script on your workstation will bring your entire service down.

This reminded me of an issue we had at a previous startup that was growing really fast. There was a process that "created PDF invoices", which was coded by calling a (sync) API, which generated it on the fly.

The problem changed, once those PDF invoices became 100MB large, with hundreds of pages (required by business case). It's a completely different beast that the "MVP" developers did not thought about (as it is expected). Now you either code and maintain an async service which uploads to S3, along with the full lifecycle, or just buy a service to do it for you.

Scale definitely matters, and all systems change once you consider large scale data and workloads.
The Chris Voss class on negotiation techniques is fantastic. Specifically the mock sessions with the salary negotiation in particular.

I read his book (which is also excellent) but seeing him "live" and playing both sides of the negotiation was really an eye opener into how basic techniques, simply delivered can lead to large impacts.

I highly recommend it to engineering folks. The "mirroring" mock session is also excellent for learning basic people skills.
Amusingly, after my first R01 was rejected, I kept an eye on that study section and several people submitted R01s with exactly my proposal the year after and got funded. Those were people that were likely on the study section the year before and saw my proposal.

I also learned from that if you want to get funded by a study section, you volunteer for that section for several years and then you know exactly what to say to get funded.
Yes. That's a very good point.

But when you find something that exposes the flaws in a system, you can try to blame the thing which exposes it, or you can try to fix the system. In this case the situation is not even overly complicated. Subsidies are bad, because:

1. they waste money - everybody is paying the subsidized price, whether they need to or not

2. they utterly fuck up incentives - there's no point to invest in higher energetic efficiency (at any level) when the price is kept artificially low.

What problem are subsidies fixing? That some people don't afford paying for electricity. Well, completely novel notion: give them money and let them chose what they spend them for. Once you do that quite a few of them will realize that investing $400 in an AC with inverter is a better investment long term than just paying for more electricity to heat the home. Or a huge array of solutions that subsidies don't make just unlikely - they make plain stupid, as long as electricity is cheap.

My one experience as a landlord didn't go well. I'm too soft-hearted for that business, but ended up with a house I couldn't sell after the housing market collapse back in 2008.

Had a single mom move into my rental house. She missed rent a few times, but I always gave her time to make it up weeks later instead of doing what the law allowed and serving an eviction notice with a 3-day limit to come up with the rent.

She ended up letting some loser move in and they proceeded to trash the place together by running a rabbit breeding operation out of the house.

I should have just done a short sale at the outset instead of "doing the right thing" and holding onto the property for 5+ years and having to sell at a loss even in a strong market.
> Renting isn't, and shouldn't be risk free.

That goes both ways, as a renter you risk getting kicked out, while as the landlord you risk not getting paid. Landlords typically evict and get someone who will pay but they were unable to. While there were programs for landlords, it was hard to get money out of them for various reasons.
Ask HN: How have side-effects complicated your code base?
I recently read "Out of the Tarpit", where the claim was that state management and side-effects was a big cause of complexity in our code bases. Wanted to hear concrete stories of whether that was true.

A friend was telling me that he had to write a user onboarding flow involving external APIs like Stripe and Mailchimp. Writing it and testing it involved setup on staging accounts and mocking the objects that got returned from the service.

I was wondering if HN had any war stories about how side-effects really made your code base more complicated and made your job harder. Or maybe it wasn't, and you were able to find easy ways to mitigate state management/side effect complications?
The irony is that this comment is less informative than the thing that it is criticizing. Basic summary: the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Which is as informative as claiming that the truth is on some kind of binary extreme.

A further irony is the meta-complaining about simplification while being as bare-bones simplistic as it gets. “No! They are wrong!” Really? That’s not what the Twitter thread says at all. For example, it claims that misinformation is not a problem but that the real problem is biased sharing.

The Twitter thread makes a series of concrete claims about social media which can be fact checked. The comment above, however, does not. 4/10.

Maybe you shouldn't assume so much.

While a landlord might find a way to make some money from an eviction, the main way they make their money is by getting the rent paid. That's what they evict for, so that they can get someone else who will pay them occupying that unit.

And, if they evict for non-payment of rent, I think they get to keep the deposit, and I don't think that's "stealing". That's part of what the deposit is for. What's stealing might be occupying their place without paying the rent, if you think about it.

And, winning in court doesn't mean you get paid. If they didn't have the money to pay the rent, they usually don't have a huge wad of cash sitting around to pay the back rent + court costs. So, you won in court, enjoy your nice victory that you can't collect.
Does anybody else see a continuation of the Murdoch-Zuckerberg feud here? Australia is probably the most Murdoch-aligned country in the world, so it's no surprise they have a problem with Meta.

People getting evicted from a two bedroom apartment aren't going to a homeless shelter, they're going to a studio apartment that costs half as much. People getting evicted from a studio apartment aren't getting replaced by Jeff Bezos, they're getting replaced by someone else who can only afford a studio apartment and might have otherwise been homeless.

Increasing the number of units on the market will tend to reduce rents and allow more people to afford housing.

In India, you can generate a new virtual ID based on aadhar (national ID).

You will need to confirm the virtual id with 2fa on the site. The default is sadly phone OTP for this which I hope changes.

I haven't needed to do video call for kyc. For example, groww (investment app) will pull up your national ID and have you scan your face. It will automatically match the face.

If it fails, then you can connect with a person.

Newer services also use CKYC which means you don't need to do this process again. Just update kyc from the central repo. Your virtual ID can pull your KYC status.

If you need to verify documents, you can use digilocker login to do that. Digilocker contains all the government generated documentation on your name and services can use it to verify you have genuine documents. For example, school certificate.

I was in shock to find that most colleges in US require your school to send a sealed school transcript because they don't have another way to verify the genuineness.
