> Do landlords labor?

Yes they absolutely do. Sometimes quite a lot, and often invisibly to tenants.

But other landlords suck, yes definitely. Just like some business owners neglect their customers, and some parents neglect their children.

The problem is that the RE market is so distorted right now that it's difficult to select a new equivalent housing provider at a reasonable price. This is also what enables the bad landlords in the first place.

The blame for that situation is very well-distributed. The best response as a buyer might be to seek out other markets.
Recently, wolves returned to the Netherlands! It was front page news.

Farmers haven’t been happy though, as the wolves kill their sheep.

> But bitcoin isn't being billed as a value-store like gold, it's being sold more as a replacement for payment systems like credit cards, ACH transfers, or PayPal.

This used to be the case years and years ago but it's been understood that without some additional layers this will never be the case. It is being billed as a value-store like gold by large institutions on and off of Wall Street though, so that's far more likely (and to be fair has proven to be fairly stable for a few years now).
The Russian oligarchs and Putin had friends in conservative parties in many countries in the West (and maybe elsewhere?), including the US and UK. How are those parties escaping a reckoning?

In the US, many people blame the liberal party for things regarding Ukraine that didn't even happen, but what the conservative party has openly done is somehow overlooked. It's not the first issue on which we've seen this phenomenon (economics, etc.), but it's an excellent example.
Yup, hit the nail on the head.

A related thing that's bonkers to me is how much progress there has been in ZK cryptography.

But people just dismiss the field, saying "ZK existed since the 80s it's a fad", and post yet another Bruce Schneier article.
I don’t self-harm, but I agree WFH has been damaging for some of us.

Honestly, going to an office everyday just helps me keep a schedule better and makes me more disciplined. It’s very hard for me to be productive when I can get into the habit of just wearing sweatpants all day and barely showering.
Have you put an accurate description on every image you've every uploaded to the web? No? You're going to jail or pay a fine since you didn't accommodate blind people. You uploaded 40k images and it will take you an entire year 8yrs a day 5days a week to tag and annotate every single on of them and not working your kids will go hungry and your pets starve. Too bad for you.

Note: I have around 160k images on the net, all marked as CC-BY. Thought I was doing something good by sharing but now I'm told if I don't make them all blind accessible then I'm a criminal.

I also have ~200 open source projects, 10 or so are fairly popular. Volunteered lots of time to make them, don't believe I should be forced under threat of fines and jail to have to put more time into them.
1) "The FDA and CDC are explicitly saying not to take this for COVID" is a fairly significant form of evidence.

2) Who said anything about picking good/bad doctors? The prescription and the patient are what's being evaluated. A good doctor can make mistakes; a bad doctor can write plenty of reasonable prescriptions worth filling.

3) Because we've tried that as a society. It's where the term "snake oil salesman" originated. We decided correctly that it was a sucky setup.

4) My pharmacist has caught a drug interaction my doctor didn't. They likely have a more accurate record of what I'm currently taking, as well. You seem to be mixing up pharmacists and pharmacy techs; perhaps a visit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacist would be appropriate.

Thanks for sharing, we totally agree with the utility in collaboration and sharing.

ENS/wallets give users a lot of utility on Skiff - it makes logging in to privacy-first platforms easier (manage on secret key/seed phrase), sharing easier (ENS vs. an address), and decentralized storage can be nice if you don't want your data hosted on big tech.
I don't know about England or Spain, but in all of the Eastern Europe wild animals are pretty commonplace and it never occurred to me someone would think of them as some kind of attraction. It's hundreds of occasions that I've seen a beaver, or a fox, or a deer, a hedgehog, a hare, etc., even in cities. I've never personally seen a boar, but it happens for them to stumble into central areas of the city at night as well. So it sounds surprising to me (and kind of sad, honestly) that it's so desolated in Spain. Is there really absolutely no wildlife?

The police showed up to the guys home and forced the private keys out of him -- probably with a very quick discussion about what would happen if he didn't hand them over. Once they had the keys they had possession of the bit coin.

I hate it. I get less work done, drop out of my schedule and start waking up five minutes before standup, don't recognise half my the people I work with, and just generally don't have a fun time.

My commute is a 10 minute train ride followed by a 30 minute walk. I never realised it was actually a net positive, but it forces me to do a minimum amount of exercise every day, which significantly improves my life now we're back in the office.
A failing business is still a business. 60% of new restaurants fail within a year, but nobody would argue that these restaurants have no intrinsic value. Likewise, Uber has facilitated billions of rides.
Exact is too hard, but I can take an estimated guess. Off the top of my head here, but a combination of institutional differences, proximal exposure to supporting institutional systems, strong national identity, and sustained economic growth (shared). I don't have much time and this is will be exceedingly reductionist, but...

It worked for Western Germany, not for Eastern Germany. The West was rebuilt by an Allied council and the East by a Soviet Bloc. After the economic collapse of the USSR and reunification of Germany, Western Germany extensively prepared for the transition process. Another example of this is North and South Korea, prior to Korean War North Korea was the dominant economy. North has not collapse due to Chinese support.

Japan was also rebuilt with the US's help under the condition of democratic reforms. Japan saw immense economic growth afterward under that system.

The Middle East is difficult due to a lack of cohesive national identities in the countries stemming from longstanding tribalistic tendencies, without proximally supporting liberal institutions. Well, except Israel, but that's an obvious conflict of interest. Autocrats and monarchies overcome culture barriers with force and threat of force.

As for China, they were handed a MASSIVE economic opportunity for reestablishing diplomatic relations--lopsided exchange in China's favor IMO. This is also why the US has the "Rust Belt" and other economic dead zones throughout middle America that were once manufacturing towns. It may even help explain, the roaring-80s. The US did not anticipate an economic transfer as fast as it occurred. Different topic... Rapid Chinese economic growth empowered the CCP to maintain its status as a champion of the people for improving the quality of life across the nation as a product of the CCPs policies, which occurred at the rate and ease that it did largely thanks to Kissinger coaxing Nixon to made a "great deal" with Mao. And, this isn't meant to dismiss the Chinese population's agency fostering the growth, only that it wouldn't have happened anywhere near as fast as it did without the US trade deal.

As for much, not all, of Eastern Europe, and, including Russia. Soviet corruption remained and didn't see enough economic growth to justify embracing liberal democracy. Many people think or are lead to believe that life was better under Soviet rule, even though the mechanism of economic growth it implemented was doomed to fail in the long-run.
Look at pictures from inside the ISS. The walls are literally red on the Russian side and blue everywhere else.
How is doing a calculation based on assuming electricity sourced 100% from coal or NG help develop an informed decision? US electricity is roughly 40% carbon free, 40% natural gas and 20% coal - wouldn’t it be more honest to use this mix in your calculation? And that’s ignoring particulates and NOx.

AB1482 is statewide and covers most rental stock. Units built in the last 15 years are exempt. Single family homes are exempt, but only if explicitly included in the lease (plenty of landlords got bit by this in 2020 - no notice to tenant, automatically covered by rent control/eviction control).

This is both rent control and eviction protection. You cant be evicted without “just cause” - all leases automatically roll over to "month to month".

Yandex is nice because it acts like a normal search engine on controversial topics. Google search results are heavily curated on any politically controversial topic. This is all new since 2016, and especially the last 2 years. This is why forums are downranked. Someone could post wrongthink on a forum and google automatically identifies and downranks sites with wrongthink.
That sort of level of critical thinking really should be the outcome of all degrees too, tbh!
It's very possible; we'll have to see how the 5800X3D does. One thing that the M1 has that the competition doesn't is just more cache closer to the CPU.

The M1 Ultra, if it holds that it's just two Maxes glued together, has 48MB of L2 cache.[1]

AMD's newer 96MB VCache system in the 5800X3D is still L3 cache, with only 4MB of L2 cache.[2]

But that's a top of the line not-quite-released processor. AMD's current high-end (5950X) only has 8MB of L2 and 64MB of L3.[3] Meanwhile Intel's 12900HK only has 24MB of their Smart Cache[4], and the 12700K has 25 but with 12MB marked for L2[5].

It's not clear to me that cache is the be all and end all but it does seem to be a significant factor, especially if AMD's claims around the boost 96MB of L3 cache is going to give it are anything remotely correct.

Value investing (promoted by Benjamin Graham and adopted by Buffett) is largely about understanding when you're buying at a discount. Getting a discount is better even if you buy and hold.

It's harder to do these days because everyone does it, so there are fewer bargains. But Buffett can still do it more often, due to the halo effect.
No. It’s pretty common for tenancy laws to make all other condition “void and unenforceable”.
Certainly, no disagreement there. What I propose is that we avoid being cavalier about the implications of creating law.

Using the force of government is, or should be, a serious affair, and I think we water it down by using language like “they’re just asking”, etc. The force of government never “just asks” - when Trump was deporting people, no one (reputable) said they were “asked to leave”.

That sense of seriousness about government force would help us see clearly what is, and is not, worth bringing government into.

Err, donating large sums of money to politicians, government officers are prevalent in Russia. Where do you think Putin’s wealth come from? You can track lobby money in the US. Can you do that in Russia?
Burnout is not overwork. Burnout is a cycle of missed expectations, perceived unfairness, etc, etc. When one is at risk of burning out, one is often at their least productive.

The 1% who claim such long hours... I know some people who live to work, and have done so for years, but they are amply rewarded and respected. Their entire social life is entwined with what they do and what they do is WHO they are.

When I have burned out it is because I have poured so much effort into specific activities while those people around me did nothing, where the credit for my effort was not offered or, even worse, offered but not followed through, and where I expected a result that never eventuated.

Reward for effort offsets the stress gained. When one feels disrespected, when one feels like they are being worked to death while others sit around, when one feels that they are the unacknowledged single-point-of-failure, this breeds burnout.

I can sort of speak to this. I was NOT looking forward to working from home two years ago. I had always worked in the office and was happy with the social interaction. I worried about communication.

And that was actually very reasonable. My only experience before was being on a team where one or two people were WFH out of 10-12. They dialed in to our meetings and it was a mess. They couldn’t hear us well, we couldn’t hear them at times, lots of interruptions. It always felt to me like “we” were having a meeting and they were occasionally butting in. It was really hard for them to be truly included, and they were cut out of in-office stuff. So I didn’t want to WFH and get left out, or have others do the same.

But that’s not the case anymore.

In the time since then EVERYONE was WFH. We quickly got used to it. And we got some team members in other locations. Now that some people are back in the office it’s more even. It’s not the one or two people who aren’t there, it’s half the team. So the WFHs can’t be ignored, everybody stays in the discussion. It works far better than that old arrangement ever did, almost as well as when everyone was in office.

As for me I’m happy. I still get my office social interaction for the most part, it’s just often over chat/video. I feel more “free” because I can work where I want at home instead of at my one little cube in my one little chair. I can use better equipment (like my personal nice monitor vs corporate standard issue) in some cases. I don’t need to use headphones for music/podcasts.

And no commute.

At first I was unhappy “playing office” at home. Stuck at one desk, in one chair, with nothing to look at but a PC and a wall. As soon as I realized I didn’t have to do that I started to really enjoy WFH.

Interesting. CERN has white rabbit for sub-ns timing. Needs special hardware but is now IEEE 1588 (PTP) "High Accuracy" profile.

I wonder how this deals with the numerous retimers and DSPs required for really high speed ethernet.
It's not a trace in the ptrace sense. Last I checked it uses clock based samples or hardware-native performance counters, depending on what's useful. The results are incredibly useful but the process is somewhat 'simple' IMO. Imagine an ISR from a clock source that records the PC. Ok, it's not quite that simple but it's what is at the core.

One thing that can be confusing is that programs that do some I/O and/or IPC -- it won't be counted, and sometimes perf will point to the 'wrong' bottleneck. That's why it's helpful to understand the tool's design. Intel's perf counter was called something like "CLK_UNHALTED" back in the day and that was helpful to remind you exactly what was being measured. If your program is slow because of the computation/memory access etc, it's perfect.
Google has incentives to degrade the quality of search results for the benefit of its profitability, up to the extent that is able to without turning away too many users.

This is a problem (if you consider it as such) that smart contracts intend to solve.

For example, in the smart contract introduce some authorities that are allowed to block and revoke transactions for some time (if the block chain has no support for certified timestamps, use "number of new blocks mined and appended to the blockchain" as substitute).

Let the market decide what kind of protection stakeholders prefer.

I know a landlord with a 4 unit rent controlled building in SF. As tenants leave, the units are left empty. Some units have been empty for 3+ years now.

Why? Because she is retiring and an empty building will sell for several hundred thousand more than one with tenants - giving up $300k in rent over a few years is an easy trade off when she can sell the whole building for $600k more.

1. Well, ok, but that is a different argument. You said that a pharmacist could refuse a customer in cases such as when the medicine caused harm. Is there any evidence that this medicine caused harm? We all know a bunch of people said not to take it, that is not something anyone is going to argue about.

3. So why are pharmacists immune to being snake oil salesmen but perfectly qualified doctors giving out prescriptions can be snake oil salesman? Is there something wrong with the system that qualifies ordinary doctors?

4. Are you suggesting that the reason the pharmacists were overriding this prescription is because there is an interaction with Ivermectin? I feel pretty confident you'd come off the worse if we check, but I'll admit I haven't.

No, they have to pay their own health insurance in Germany and deal with taxes themselves as a self-employed person. Additionally, most likely they have to foot in for pension and a couple of insurances to be on the safe side. Germany is €€€.

I’d also recommend getting a Steuerberater. They’ll need it. Mistakes are expensive. And don’t spend any money in the first year. Second year taxation will be 3x the nominal rate: tax for the first year, most likely full prepayment for the second year and quarterly payments of 25% for the following year. Ah, and Gewerbesteuer, unless they qualify as Freiberufler…
> you can memorize your wallet seed words and recreate your wallet on the other side of a border

Governments can trivially prevent this if they wanted to. Bringing your wallet along will be of no use if nobody dares to transact with you because they themselves will then need to explain the source of their newfound wealth.

The current ability of crypto to (sometimes) escape government oversight is temporary and only exists because it's currently a rounding error in the grand scheme of things, but I can guarantee you it will be cracked down on.
FWIW, I still use Python as a prototyping language, it's just so flexible and you can model things in it in so many neat ways.

This hinges on the contracts actually working as intended, which is something they often do not. Code in general rarely does poorly in that regard. It's really hard to consider every contingency beforehand. Unknown unknowns and all that.
