> Yeah I still can’t believe they did that, basically allowing someone to occupy your property and there’s nothing you can do about it.

The eviction moratorium didn't take anything from landlords, which is why the courts allowed it. They simply had to wait for payment and couldn't evict. The tenants still owed rent.

The alternative was potentially having roving bands of millions of angry, newly homeless people violently overthrowing the government, in which case landlords would be in an even worse predicament.

> I can’t wait to get out of this situation because I hate it and feel like I have no control over my property but the government incentivized them to not pay rent.

You can seriously look at housing prices and think to yourself that now is a good time to short the housing market?
That's assuming there is a recording. If you meet in person somewhere and agree that they're only allowed to take notes, maybe there wouldn't be one? Or alternately, answer questions in writing and be careful what you say.
There's also two "open source" systems
- https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/
- https://openaps.org/

Tidepool is also trying to take the loop project and get a version of it FDA approved.

Both of the open source projects require you to do the work and actively take control of your setup (a cgm plus pump plus phone). They have really nice support communities. I would never go back to not using Loop.
Thank you so much for the feedback!

2. It might look silly but we actually had an internal debate about making the preference for floating preference window. I personally do not mind the single window approach because it makes things easier for the non-experienced users. I watched my mother-in-law losing the preferences window when she tried to configure 1Password 7. I know there are certain articles claiming that all Mac apps must have a floating Preferences window but there are quite a few counter-examples as well. Anyway, that preference might still happen.

1. I certainly relate to the pain about muscle memory when it comes to the keyboard shortcuts. At the same time, having an option to easily adjust the zoom settings for an app is such a great feature. I used 1Password on a 13" laptop and on Pro Display HDR and I love the ability to change the zoom factor. I now wish I could do this in every app. Perhaps a solution could be to make all keyboard shortcuts customizable?

T1 here too. The weird part about this, is that it happens while you are aware of it.

My brain: "hey, you're doing it again. stop it. You know it'll end bad". my hand: "nope. here's more cookies".
This kind of dependence sometimes scares me to be honest, not that password dependent services have left much choice to us.
It's not orthogonal as you can't have TDD without tests. Perhaps you meant to say "you can have tests without TDD".
It's not reasonable to liken the decision making processes of deciding to go see a movie and determining government funding priorities for education.
Because with cash you have the money to actually make the deal happen. With a mortgage you depend on a bank giving you the money.

A bank says they will lend 75% LTV, you are preapproved for a $2M house, so will bring $500K to the table and bank will provide $1.5M you think.

But wait, the appraisal comes back for $1.6M instead of the $2M you bid. Bank says no problem, we will lend 75% LTV or $1.2M. Now you have to find (within days) $300K. And you can't borrow it because that will mess up underwriting on your current loan.

Or you buy a car before closing. Whamo - your DTI is toast.

At least no games with underlying dynamics you would like to share, and I say that with a grin.

The discussion of moderation policies and topics in posting usually derive from a shared understanding of a forum as a group of people, rather than a trajectory where current community opinions in turn, create the future community.

There is also the origins of Hacker News as Startup News, which immediately creates a covariance constraint between seniority and topic. The only way this dynamism can be managed is having temporal aspects (e.g., boundaries, limits on accelerationism toward specific topics), included in moderating policies.

On average in 2019, consumption taxes made up 32.3 percent of total revenues in OECD countries.

>There a certainly some areas of interest to be address, like how to protect from bankruptcy even when someone has insurance

Only 4% of US bankruptcies are because of medical bills (<https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/0...>). A tipoff that [insert large percentage here] of bankruptcies aren't actually because of medical costs is that only 6% of bankruptcies by those without health insurance are because of that cause. The biggest cause of bankruptcies is lack of income, which health insurance doesn't affect regardless of country.
The toothless FDA allows for a 20% margin of error on nutrition facts labeling, so it could possibly be one or the other or both.

It's absolutely a rebuttal. If you're making a statistical/empirical claim, especially one that goes against orthodox economic theory, than robustness to the underlying assumptions is really important.

Subsequently empirical research has found that Piketty's conclusions are extremely sensitive to the way he slices the historical data and the modeling parameters. At best that's evidence of an incompetent econometrician who doesn't understand the tools enough to perform the required robustness checks. At worse, it's evidence of data snooping to shoehorn the the results into a pre-determined hypothesis.

But you don't have to take my word for it. The IMF itself performed an exhaustive robustness check and found that Piketty's conclusions simply don't hold up:

So much of one's experience depends on the z-wave hardware and it's not obvious at all which brands or products will be more reliable or better than others. My network is a hodge-podge of different switches and outlets, but mesh networking means it's easy to poison the network with a bad implementation. And then good luck finding the offending hardware.
I agree 110%.

Actually, I disagree with one statement: "AWS was built for a specific purpose and demographic of user". AWS wasn't built for anyone. It was built for everyone, and is thus even reasonably productive for no one. AWS's entire product development methodology is "customer asks for this, build it"; there's no high level design, very few opinions, five different services can be deployed to do the same thing, it's absolute madness and getting worse every year. Azure's methodology is "copy whatever AWS is doing" (source: engineers inside Azure), so they inherit the same issues, which makes sense for Microsoft because they've always been an organization gone mad.

If there's one guiding light for Big Cloud, its: they're built to be sold to people who buy cloud resources. I don't even feel this is entirely accurate, given that this demographic of purchaser should at least, if nothing else, be considerate of the cost, and there's zero chance of Big Cloud winning that comparison without deceit, but if there was a demographic that's who it'd be.

> I'd argue, we need a completely new experience for the next generation.

Fortunately, the world is not all Big Cloud. The work Cloudflare is doing between Workers & Pages represents a really cool and productive application environment. Netlify is another. Products like Supabase do a cool job of vendoring open source tech with traditional SaaS ease-of-use, with fair billing. DigitalOcean is also becoming big in the "easy cloud" space, between Apps, their hosted databases, etc. Heroku still exists (though I feel they've done a very poor job of innovating recently, especially in the cost department).

The challenge really isn't in the lack of next-gen PaaS-like platforms; its in countering the hypnosis puked out by Big Cloud Sales in that they're the only "secure" "reliable" "whatever" option. This hypnosis has infected tons of otherwise very smart leaders. You ask these people "lets say we are at four nines now; how much are you willing to pay, per month, to reach five nines? and remember Jim, four-nines is one hour of downtime a year." No one can answer that. No one.

End point being: anyone who thinks Big Cloud will reign supreme forever hasn't studied history. Enterprise contracts make it impossible for them to clean the cobwebs from their closets. They will eventually become the next Oracle or IBM, and the cycle repeats. It's not an argument to always run your own infra or whatever; but it is an argument to lean on and support open source.
Wouldn't that tax proposal just increase rent for people who don't own their home (landlords pass on the costs) and not affect homeowners other than lowering the value of their home if they come to sell it (i.e. upside-down on mortgage).

The book Nomadland covers the roaming vanlife pre 2017 that was supplying a lot of seasonal workers to Amazon warehouses, forest service employees and farm workers. (recruiters for all those places targeted people living vanlife who could move and live close to the place of work.) There are several streets I commuted on in the peninsula area of San Jose/San Francisco where all of the parking is used by people living in cars and RVs since 2005 at least.

I'd recommend checking out some of the "smart relay" devices that let you reuse your existing light switches.

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-SmartThings-Philips-ZBBrid... - this one says "2 way" but I'm pretty sure you can wire it up with two physical lightswitches to get the 3-way behavior that you're after. The wiring diagram on the amazon product page suggests as much.

So glad that this isn't a feature of HN proper and I can opt out altogether.
That you have to use one of what ...a dozen[ish] options I've seen posted today to get to what is a fundamentally standard part of every forum experience (except this one) shows how out of touch the HN devs are, imo
I agree, but what you are describing is a different thing: it's reinventing the wheel, not avoiding additional complexity. Avoiding additional complexity would be not having that reactive table. (And that of course would probably result in worse user experience, so it's really not a good example of what I've meant.)
All this smarthome stuff like an enormous amount of work. What are any actual concrete benefits over doing things the dumb way?

I can't think of anything significant, certainly nothing to justify the cost (not just money, also time, embodied energy etc).

Though I have 0 experience with this stuff, so I am asking a genuine question.
I personally don't see any reason why the type of test matters when doing TDD. As I see it you can do TDD with integration tests just as much as you can do TDD with unit tests. The only difference to me is that the work involved might take on a bit of a different character. But that doesn't make it not TDD to me.
Question for the mods (@dang):

Do you not experience some kind of information overload from monitoring all those stories and comments on HN? How are you able to handle all of that?

Otherwise I just want to say thank you for maintaining this forum and making sure it stays interesting.
Exactly. Marks said that a crash is often inaccurately thought to be caused by a valuation excess; except in reality, they're caused by credit excesses and a failure to meet obligations on said credit on a large scale.
A few changes to note since the P7/P8 days. As of P9, the default is now SMT8 instead of SMT4.

Changing the profile from say P8 to P9_base to P9 changes things under the hood in terms of processor capabilities. This roughly translates into VM hardware versions in VMware-speak.

There are cores and then there are virtual processors as well as the notion of processor folding. Here's a starting point: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-virtual-processor-fold...

What is accomplished by posting this on HN?

We can’t fix it for you, everyone who is trying to use Twitter is already aware that it’s gone AWOL, it’ll be fixed before most HN readers have seen this post, and Twitter’s own services monitoring site will give you all the details that are available.
In a word where any medium sized company could just get a /20 network and any enterprise could get a /8 I would agree, but with IPv4 we live in a world where the vast majority of companies don't have anything but 10/8 (and a couple of IPs for public facing stuff).

The only real options besides 10/8 are to have been big at the advent of the internet (like IBM or Apple) or misappropriate one of those IP blocks in the hope it never becomes publicly routable.
Well, if a spike is going to become production, when it does, then write the tests (along with all the other cleanup that needs to happen if your going to turn prototype code into production).
> is that the factors change.

Indeed. The weather, (lack of) sleep, stress, mood, etc. All can have a big influence on the rates and factors.

For me, for example, summer is entirely different from winter (and spring and autumn). if everything else would remain the exact same, then still I'd have to switch rates at least twice a year because in summer my body works different. apparently.
People (like me) have been doing this for over two decades now. It's quite well tested :-)
I think there's a huge disconnect between you and the parent's definition of "nice house." Because it's kinda nuts that for $600k you can't buy small exceptionally-constructed house. In this market there is no way to find houses where you pay more to get build quality instead of bigger.

I've found TDD can work pretty well with integration tests. Often better.

I dont really get why the practise is so intrinsically linked to the practise of writing unit tests.

Increasingly I'm starting to believe unit tests are a scam, but TDD is going to stick around in one form of another forever.

So how come pinterest is still on top with many searches?
Home prices around where I am (LCOL area in MI) are creeping up, but not to the absurd degree they are in actually desirable places to live. That said, anywhere that's decent to live is getting slammed. For instance, sticking to MI, Grand Rapids and the Ann Arbor area are insane compared to where they were a few years ago.

The only reason there are any decently priced houses where I am is that a lot of them are over 100 years old and some of the school systems are so bad even our current asset bubble can't make families want to live there. (So no point in buying to rent out for twice the mortgage because no family is paying 2000/mo for a house in a school district with a math proficiency rate of 15%.)
Came here to post a similar sentiment. I've rescued very useful content from mirroring sites that was gone from the original. You can filter them out if you want, but don't forget you're doing that or you may not find what you're after.
The caveat to the caveat is that property value doesn't always go up, and there are benefits to not owning your primary residence. If property value goes down, it is better to be a renter, because you just end up with cheaper rent instead of an underwater mortgage, or you can decide to just exit the neighborhood if things get too bad.
"Failing to curb future emissions could cause an additional 1.5 - 5 feet (0.5 - 1.5 meters) of rise for a total of 3.5 - 7 feet (1.1 - 2.1 meters) by the end of this century" is also pretty disturbing.
