Land lords still exist in a competitive market and can't arbitrarily raise rents without collusion.

One way to alleviate this problem is to have a harsher tax on vacant properties to punish using housing as a store of value and creating artificial scarcity in the market, e.g. like how the DeBeers corporation made diamonds artificially scarce and scammed the world for the past century selling a shiny rock.
>Does anyone actually know a real "5g causes corona" person? I've seen them at marches, that's about it.

Social bubbles, man. Go to any place where "new age" people hang out. You'll find them by the dozen. They also - collectively - believe in a veritable smorgasborg of quasi-religious beliefs a la crystal healing. It's important to understand that "belief" doesn't mean the same thing for them as it does for you and I, for their in-group is determined by a staunch refusal to police any notion of objective truth. Maybe they don't all believe 5g causes covid, maybe only 5% of them do, but if someone pipes up with that at a gathering not a single person will challenge them. Instead what will happen is that someone will chime in with their own different, related conspiracy theory / piece of nonsense. Everyone gets to pick and choose which myths resonate best with themselves, and yet collectively they reinforce each other.

There are literally millions of these people. In my opinion they're also one charismatic leader away from being a fascist voting bloc.
I am learning smart contracts (Solidity)

I'll probably write a few fun "not for profit" games that run on test networks once I have finished my course (so players can grab free tokens from a faucet, then play in the game, no real money at stake).

I am interested in games that can kind of run a bit off chain (I've seen a chess example online that is quite clever in how it avoids the chain until it needs to). I have an idea of an adapted texas-holdem poker game.

I also want to look into how NFTs can be done without needing these big central market places.

Could work together on something, or just keep in touch an encourage each other, ask each other questions etc.

Mainly would want to communicate async via whatever you use, or email. I might be "slow" in the number of hours a week I spend so bear with me!

More than a little unfair when the following is in the article:

I’m not going to write this completely from
scratch – I think parsing DNS packets is really
interesting, but it’s definitely more than 80
lines of code, and I find that it kind of
distracts from the algorithm.

Which, seems legit to me. This article was a fun read to refresh on exactly what goes on in resolving basic records.
It arguably may allow the navigation to be more accurate, even if a tiny amount, though it obviously isn't strictly required since navigation works without the data.

>and are generally incentivized to get you as much money as they can since they generally get a percentage of your yearly salary as their pay

This is not quite true. They're optimizing for throughput, not max dollar value. If they optimized for the maximum amount of money they could get you that would come at the cost of their time which would lower their throughput of placing candidates and hence the maximum amount of money that they can personally earn in aggregate.

They'll still try to spin you that line though.

I would have been concerned about the government trying to go after me for pulling data from their website in an unintended fashion and using it to expose their incompetence. Like how the targeting of the journalist that broke the story about teachers in Missouri having their SSNs stored in a table on a webpage but just having that column hidden. Or like prosecution of Aaron Swartz for using a guest account given to him by his university to bulk download journal articles from JSTOR.

Nonetheless, interesting article and I hope something comes from the crimes uncovered.
Interesting observation. The PEG managers would probably admit that turnover had some financial cost, but I doubt they ever actually put a number on it and added it to their calculations. Am I right?
This is true but there’s a bit more to it. Going vision-only is a big move that requires innovation in a lot of areas and changes huge parts of the stack.

I used to ride a train which had onboard wifi. Whenever I was on the train and underground, Google Maps would decide that I was at the terminal station of the train - which I assume is where it first scanned that SSID - and would try to reroute me.

Yes.

Talk to them. Personally, I think that the reason this conflict is so misunderstood in the West is that you guys are just too distant from the cultural norms of the region, and literally can't believe that millions of people could openly and unapologetically be pro-genocide.
If you have an iPhone and haven't been using Apple Maps, it's basically on par now with Google Maps for navigation. I hadn't tried Apple Maps for years because of how bad it used to be, and was pleasantly surprised to find the maps are incredibly accurate and turn by turn navigation is rock solid. I haven't touched Google Maps in months, and this post is reminding me that it's time to just uninstall it

I'll start off with my prototype:

Anyone into electoral methods or game theory? If you've ever watched CGP Grey's videos on electoral methods or seen Nicky Case's *To Build a Better Ballot*,[1] it's very much in the spirit of that. It's mostly a toy that will run a single election in a large number of different electoral methods.

Currently I've implemented ~26 different electoral methods which is pretty neat. However, I've shied away from the methods that voting theory nerds love the most: Condorcet methods. I've implemented Copeland (although there's a mistake I haven't fixed yet) as well as Kemeny Young. However, Kemeny Young is implemented in the most brute force way possible and is O(n!) right now.

Mostly I think I'm just looking for people with a math/game-theory background that would be interested in helping out, but I'm open to anyone interested. I know there's a lot of optimizations I could make to the Kemeny Young algorithm, but I've been hesitant to do so because I can't find the right theorems to make sure certain assumptions are true. For example, I'm quite sure that a subset of weak Condorcet winners would be at the front of the winning path, but I haven't found a textbook that's stated this explicitly and it's been a long time since college so I'm kinda iffy on proving it to myself. I also don't think having to learn the proof everytime just to make sure my assumptions are mathematically sound is the best way to develop such a tool. Thanks

It's all open-source and won't have ads and will hopefully just be a static site so it's really just a hobby project.

Hi!

I just commented with a project I am working on. I need a co-founder who meets your qualification exactly!

Check out my comment and feel free to reach to me via the email on my profile if you are interested.

Can't believe I'm on this side of the debate, but at what point are we asking too much for free?

Google provide Maps for free to an incredible accuracy and value. Unlike Apple, the user is welcome to use any other app, and yet chooses to use Google Maps.

You could maybe argue that Google Maps is part of a package you bought the phone for, but realistically I think the solution is Google are just open about the use of data (which they are really) and offers a paid solution that doesn't track you.
I'm building an IBM 5150 (original IBM PC) emulator. Most of it is therefore an 8086 (technically 8088 but no difference for this) emulator. I have it successfully booting the BIOS and running BASIC in ROM (Casette BASIC). I'd like to boot DOS. The CPU passes automated tests, but I could use help with the disk support chips (everything is low level emulation right now) such as the floppy controller and more CGA graphics modes. It's just a hobby project—I'm not looking to make it performant, just working.

It's written in poor C++ with SDL.

City dweller, raised in a village in the east of England. I got my license 3 months after my 17th and already had a car - I've had a car ever since.

I'd give it up in a heartbeat if hiring a car was easier and more economical, but the reality is that for visiting family over weekends, renting would cost about the same as owning the car full time. The convenience of then having the car ready to go whenever you want it wins out.

I sincerely hope that self driving cars bring in the possibility of renting it for a couple of hours as it drives us to Kent to visit the in laws then drives itself back to London, or simply re-clusters itself into the local network ready to take us back on Sunday evening.

Well...kind of. It's pretty bad in a lot of places. There aren't enough homes in the places people want to live.
Of course. If one assumes relatively inexpensive rob-taxis people living outside cities will definitely come in more often. I certainly would.

I normally don't like comments like this but I think in this case your point stands. DNS is not 'easy' in that you have troves of RFCs and undocumented but expected behaviors to follow, etc. miekg/dns does all of the heavy lifting here.

Writing a resolver in it is a fun project, but bragging about the line count is silly.
Anyone into cryonics? I think there's an interesting angle making it more accessible which could have positive downstream effects (e.g. 1) increased funding for research into cognitive uploading, 2) potentially decreased healthcare costs if people use the service before the tremendously expensive last 5-10 years of life) beyond the obvious of potentially being able to advance tech that would be a step towards radical life extension or perhaps enabling interplanetary travel.
That's an unimplemented instruction. If I have to make a guess, one the trigonometric funcs you are calling. Feel free to report a bug if you'd like.
Agreed. It is one of the things I find most attractive about HN, that Important People will actually show up in the discussion and participate.
If this was codified into a repo, I'd absolutely deploy one or two of my own.
I smiled at this, though the Sagan quote "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe" springs to mind. At some point to be reasonable you have to cut off the lower layers of abstraction or else it's madness.

Unbound leans on libresolv, so I don't think it's cheating to lean on external libraries - most of the hard part about resolvers is all the crufty RFCs you have to support anyway, not the basic nuts and bolts of resolving an A record.
This doesn't make any sense. The whole point is to get a bigger IDF response, bloodier palestinian casualties, louder western media coverage and larger help packages to pocket.

Why bother with inventing a separate word to distinguish some [rare|rarely or sometimes extreme|ly rarely [used]] flowers from others?

Why the said flower can't be successfully described with other adjectives?

It's not mentioned in their post, but Mozilla VPN is a brand/browser integration of Mullvad, which is excellent, so that's what they're using underneath the branding.
It might also be what you want, especially if your site is accessible to search engines. If your site can't be "scraped" for meaningful structured data, it will be hard to tell apart from the random SEO junk that's practically ubiquitous on the modern web.
I would love to see these in more rural areas without great transit options. I would love to be able to take a driverless car to and from a bar when there isn't population density to support many taxis.
The text in the article says “ For scale, that's a 330-mL energy drink in the pictures seen throughout.”
This is basically the point I was trying to provoke. We forfeit a good bit of our privacy and autonomy with these technologies. Rather disgusting how convenience always wins.
I have talked to some.

You didn’t respond to any other parts of my post. Especially the main point I made of the listing of states in conflict where it is similarly not possible for the smaller side to wipe out the nicer one. The point of that is to show how unreasonable expecting any of those smaller states or people to ever be able to do a serious amount of damage to the stronger power.

It is a stretch to say “millions” for Gaza. The population is under 2 million. Technically that is millions. Just want to clarify it means under 2M.

It’s also hard to talk to them when I don’t live close by and The 1.8M people in Gaza use the energy equivalent to a town of under 25K people in the US.*

This is an important point too.

Traditionally, humans have to live where they can find a flow of capital via the jobs available. If every human has a baseline flow of capital attached to them specifically, regardless of where they live, it potentially opens up a ton of possibility in where people can live, because they can do less well paying jobs but still live a good life.

That's the trickle-up economics in action! I'd prefer that.
Stablecoins already do this. Traders aren't exiting the crypto ecosystem during selloffs, they just go to stablecoins and move unlimited sums back into risk assets at a moment's notice.

This is the FederalReserve taking a measured analysis, saying "wow all those luddites were hilariously wrong and have no idea what they're talking about, but we're going to stop just short of saying this is already pretty amazing".
Thanks for the initiative. Very useful.

I am developing https://www.interviewblindspots.com/

It is crowd sourced feedback on your interview performance, targeted at software engineers. I am very bad at frontend technologies and could use some help on that front. I frequently get stuck on frontend (CSS). I need someone to consult with and unblock me. My immediate next steps will be to hire a designed to make the looks good, but I will need a frontend engineer to help me implement the recommendations.

I am also working on a blog search engine. I could use some frontend mentoring for that also.

Does anyone have a favorite that has worked well for them?
I don't understand this at all. If they're both in the same app, then aren't you using them both every time you're using it? What does it mean to navigate without using a map?
> It may do the wrong thing at the worst time.

So, basically, I need to somehow predict that FSD will do the wrong thing and react myself, _before_ the worst time, because the worst time is when it's already too late.

Or, in other words, whereas any other car manufacturer has fallbacks for when the driver is not doing what they're supposed to, Tesla treats the driver as the fallback instead. I just don't understand what is this magic that is supposed to allow the driver to predict incorrect AI behavior.
I think Julia's ecosystem FluxML/ONNX.jl does just that and writes it into a tape. Turning Julia into standalone executables is less fun, so you are probably stuck with Julia run time which is probably bigger?

I have a friend who used to work for Snopes. The organization absolutely engages in what you describe. The sad thing is, it’s not some big conspiracy, it’s what humans do naturally and subconsciously to shore up their cognitive dissonance… particularly when faced with uncomfortable facts pertaining to establishment systems, organizations and identity politicians they supported.

The Snopes article that made me take notice of this bias was the one letting Clinton off the hook for equating millennials to "basement dwellers" while speaking to wealthy donors during the 2016 election.

Clinton never used the exact sequence of words “basement dwellers”. Clinton absolutely, 100%, used the exact phrase “they are living in their parents’ basement” to describe Sanders supports. If you actually find the text of what she said in that meeting, putting the basements statement in context, it was absolutely dripping with derision. The cherry picked position of asserting that "basement dweller" specifically wasn't used... is fundamentally meaningless, and is exactly the same sort of straw-man you were describing above.

She also said in the very same leak (but curiously not included by Snopes in their article):

“And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel.”

There is no way to read that statement without it dripping with condescension. Without full context, what Snopes advanced was patent misrepresentation… and then on top of that to call the “basement dweller” accusation untrue…? Bullshit. It’s “mixed” at best. Any intellectually honest person with full context would recognize her statements for what they were.

Part of me has difficulties understanding why wearing a mask has had so much backlash. It is a trivial thing to do, and something people in many countries were already doing pre pandemic.

My experience has been that many people who are not in favour of masks think that they are being enforced for reasons other than public safety.

That's not going to solve climate change is it? It's not even reducing existing fossil fuel installations let alone providing all new energy requirements. Like a real nuclear effort could have.

And "capacity" of course means something very different when it comes to the wind and solar, which makes that 2/3 not as great as it sounds.

No, the anti-nuclear luddites and conspiracy theorists have no credibility. They are dangerous climate deniers who should not be listened to. The amount of damage they have already caused may well be incalculable.

Though ... how good a job are humans actually doing in heavy precipitation?
I know that under normal circumstances our brains constantly do a bunch of work to create the illusion of a comprehensive high res visual field even though we really only have detail at the fovea. When it's raining heavily, and we think we can see "enough" to drive ... are we right? Or are we just lucky and pedestrians and cyclists are more likely to be off the road at those moments and so accidents increase but not to the point of disaster?
