This is an amusing response given the parent's comment. You're perfectly happy with what you have, so what's the reason why you're interested in switching now after reading about a different keyboard?
Do you mind naming the mice your colleagues are using?
The author has a valid point in that the information asymmetry will attract sellers whose property is overvalued to sell to Zillow. I suspect though that something different happened in reality. I live in a 70 unit condo building, so there are a lot of very good comparables. Zillow bought one of the units about 10% over market value, which makes me think that they're doing some sort of market manipulation, like charging a 20% fee that is not part of the real estate record. So they wanted to pump up prices, but it didn't work.
How many homes did they buy? wow.

<Quickly searches to answer question for myself>

Oh, ~5,000/month.
Worse than that, they don't let you cancel, but they will suspend the service for x months

Strangely, Netflix has gone in the opposite direction. At least in the U.S.

Pre-pandemic, I used to occasionally put my Netflix DVD account on hold for a month or two when I would be traveling. It was no big deal.

This past summer, I needed to put it on hold again, and that's no longer an option. Instead, you can only cancel the account now. Netflix holds on to your queue for six months in case you change your mind and sign up again, which worked a lot better than I thought it would.

I guess Netflix has proactive lawyers and human beings for managers, instead of whatever kind Amazon has.
It's bad. As a reference, I tried decoding a measly 2 mbit/s test clip on an older Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (which has no issues playing back the same in H.264 purely with software decoding), and it stuttered a lot. I don't see this thing taking off until there's decent GPU acceleration in place. "Fast decoder" is highly relative.
I've used Capital One's virtual card service many times to close a card associated with a service that would've otherwise required me to chat or call someone to cancel. It's worked extremely well.
> It lowers the energy cost for bitcoin miners well enough, it doesn't lower the exploration price for flaring sites enough, just reduces their emissions

Another commenter pointed this out, but whether the flare gas gets burned or not is orthogonal to what is done with the energy produced thereby. Oil wells are supposed to burn flare gas, but it's hard to capture and sell that energy, so it's mostly just released as heat. I'll grant that a well that is selling this energy is more likely to quickly notice and plug a flare gas leak, but that's the only real differentiating factor in terms of emissions.
Ask HN: Is Public WiFi Dangerous?
I know there are several attack vectors on public Wifi, but these days are they mostly mitigated?

- Man-in-the-middle attacks: thwarted by certificate authority checking by the browser and/or certificate pinning in mobile apps. Browser will not let you advance if the certificate is invalid.
- Replay attacks: OAuth tokens expire and good sites will use nonces.
- Packing sniffing on open networks: thwarted by TSL over http and encrypted traffic (unless you have a root certificate installed).
- DNS lookups are somewhat plaintext, but now started to be done over https. Even then, attackers would know what you're connected to, but not what you are saying.
- Port scanning/direct attacks: Firewalls by default lock down ports and well-patched machines prevent this
- Email (SMTP) and other protocols: are all encrypted as well to prevent snooping.

Is using public Wifi actually dangerous? If so, what's the attack vector?
I'd love to go back to my old lenovo consumer-grade thinkpad. butter-soft rubber dome, upgradable hardware... I ran that thing with so many replacement parts and upgrades, only a broken mainboard and lack of AVX instructions made me switch. Really it was just the AVX instructions.

But since it is modular, I have now removed both hdd drives and the wifi card (yes, you can do that in these old devices. crazy, I know!) and now it is a very nice offline writing device. Syncing happens on LAN via syncthing when I plug it into ethernet
I just tried out this search engine and was very favorably impressed. It was quite responsive (though that could be affected by demand) and gave good results. I really like the lack of goo (e.g., ads) and the spare, clean presentation. I think it might be a great search engine for visually disabled users who rely on screen readers.
I find this a bit of a wart on the dataclass implementation. Type hints (to me) are more like a comment than a statement. So, from my perspective, dataclasses feel like they're pulling data out of nearby comments. Ick.

But it's a wart worth the conciseness, at least, until a better idea comes along.

Maybe if type hints could be optionally enforced as a language feature, I'd feel it was more integrated.
Volatility is a statistical measurement. It's calculated by:

1. Find the mean of the data points

2. Calculate the difference between each data value and the mean (variance)

3. Square those variances

4. Add the squared variances together

5. Divide the sum of the squared variations by the number of data values

The development group in my company intends to stay fully remote by default and to offer a limited amount of office space to those who are local and want a hybrid arrangement. I'm 2500 miles away so I'm not going to spend much time there!
Are you worried about getting front run for fractions of a cent? I’m not. I’d rather have penny wide spreads instead of 1/8 dollar (or larger) like the old minimum tick size.

Dark pools reduce volatility, it’s just liquidity outside of the normal order book. Regular people don’t need dark pools because they aren’t slinging $500M block trades. Furthermore, trades can happen off-exchange without dark pools.

It sounds like you aren’t even an amateur, let alone an expert, no offense.
HDMI out and backlights are not essential for most folks.
I agree with webcam, speakers and TB/USB3 (and GPU).
I sympathize with US ranchers, but I agree with the courts that "Product of the USA" okay...

M-COOL (Meat Country of Origin Label) is the right solution... and let me give an example why:

If I buy a new, real wood, kitchen table, that was imported as a sapling, planted in the USA for 20 years, then milled in the USA, then worked into a table by USA craftsmen -- would that be a product of the USA? I'd say so, and I think few people would argue that the "birth" of the tree on foreign soil taints its "Product of the USA" qualities in this sense.

If you agree with me there, then what we will end up disagreeing on is when that threshold is crossed, and it's no longer "Product of the USA".

By attacking this label, it was always an uphill battle, I think.... and that's why M-COOL is the better solution. Tell me where the meat was born, raised, and slaughtered. If a soup company imports that beef and uses it in their soup that is mixed, seasoned, and canned in the USA, I don't think it's fair to say they are not a USA product, however, it's still valid and good (I think) to say that it's from imported meats.
I was actually referencing a sequence of dialogs in the classic video game Scarab of Ra:

• "Do you really want a hint?"

• "You really should try to solve this on your own. Still want a hint?"

• "Wouldn't it be more fun to figure it out by yourself?"

• "Last chance to be a hero. Still want that hint?"

(The game is playable online at: https://archive.org/details/ScarabOfRaMacintosh, or using https://mace.software/scarab-of-ra/ on modern MacOS -- you can trigger these dialogs by picking any item from the "Hints" menu.)
It varies widely by Area how accurate the zestimate is. In some places Redfin is much higher than Zillow, in others places it’s reversed. Sometimes they’re too high, sometimes they’re too low. I presume the algorithm does best when the prices are fairly flat, but in this market real estate prices changed dramatically and it seems pretty impossible for an algorithm to figure it out without modeling the entire economy and movement patterns of the population.
I agree completely with taking advantage of every tax advantaged means of savings. For me that means.

- I-bonds up to the amount needed for an “unemployment fund”

- max out my 401K

- max out the company managed “after tax 401K”

- max out the HSA and use after tax dollars to pay medical expenses

That takes me to $42K before I turn 50 in a couple of years.
I wish someone recreated Google Trips. Like TripIt, but with better UX and more magic aurorecognition. Preferably self-hosted and with IMAP or JMAP support, so I can give it a folder or a tag to import trips from.
Careful. Every time I've mentioned Brave here I've been downvoted. Getting on point: I've used Brave for awhile now and it's been fine. Major issues for me are updates are frequent enough to be annoying, and I haven't been able to access sites with self-signed certificates.

Prime helps customers as a means of helping Amazon. They reap the biggest reward, not us.
Amazon has a bad history in dealing with ToS for Prime in general.

In the beginning Prime was about free 2-day shipping and $3.99 next-day shipping, and was written into the ToS.

Then one time I wanted to ship something next-day and the charge was going to be $8.99. I was curious about when it had changed, and what the rules were: but the current ToS didn't specify a particular price, and I couldn't find any notification from Amazon about the change, so I went digging in Wayback.

To cut things short, at some point Amazon changed the ToS, removing the requirement that they notify customers of future changes, while the $3.99 price remained the same. Then, at some point in the future, Amazon removed the $3.99 guarantee but was no longer required to notify customers that they'd now be paying more for that service. Very sneaky.

What does that even mean? We have a full composited desktop with shadows and transparency and everything. Software rendering doesn't mean no OpenGL. It's just software OpenGL.
I think the question is why you apparently see rather few people show up in adjacent threads. You see this with many topics. There's the people who complain about Apple's monopoly, and there's the people who say Apple is dying because they have no marketshare, but you might reasonably expect both groups to fall under the umbrella of people interested in Apple's marketshare.
My comment is based on what the parent said.

For cpu I don't know but h265 hardware acceleration ASICs are mainstream contrary to AV1. Also h265 can reach higher compression level than AV1 although the difference is relatively small apparently.
However technologically AV1 is largely obscolete since h266 stable has been released.

Anecdote on the estimates. We bought a house for X and renovated it. The day before we listed it both Zillow and Redfin estimate had an estimate around the purchase price X. When we listed it for 2X, both companies changed their estimate to be close to the listing. However, Redfin changed the entire price history as well showing a gentle slope. Zillow preserved their previous history and showed a spike.
Likewise, cancelled in Feb because I'd like to buy from smaller merchants directly when possible. I can buy toilet paper from Amazon still and get free shipping, so... no loss, really? Amazon was already nagging me to bundle separate shipments together on "prime days", so it literally makes no difference to me.

The dark patterns on cancelling my subscription were so disgustingly manipulative that it made it really easy to be happy with my decision to leave, though. I admit to feeling a tinge of regret when I quit a service that politely allows me to cancel because that actually gives me some respect for the service. With Amazon, Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram, they try SO hard to make it impossible to leave that it cemented the decision completely in my mind and eroded the last bit of respect I had for those platforms.
> Carbon capture would not work as an incentive

The incentive behind bitcoin is always economics. Miners will use the cheapest energy possible as it will produce the most profit. The cheapest energy is the surplus green energy that solar produces during the day. It can't be used by industry and it can't be used by residential during the evening.

Bitcoin will self regulate onto the cheapest energy because of its economics and the cheapest energy is and will always be renewables.
Come to think of it, it's a really cool idea - and I'd like to do it if I could justify the work involved, but if this app ends up just being for me and a dozen other people, maybe I should spend my time on Earth working on something that produces more value for people.

But let's say you study for thirty minutes each day for a month - 0.5hrs * 30days = 15 hours...

And maybe half of that time is your recordings, so 7.5 hours of recording... that's about 1gb of recordings a month...

So if you're a decent student who studies on average 30 minutes a day, that's 1gb of space on your phone a month... I have a fancy phone (that I'm not a big fan of, but that's another story), and it only holds 64gb. So your proposal is actually very doable... but it would need to be done thoughtfully... Especially if you're a diligent student and study for a number of hours each day...

Maybe that would be a way to support the app - hold the data on a paid cloud service or something for users to go to and check. I'd be happier with that than putting advertisements up.

Thanks for the good wishes!
maybe Redfin actually incorporates "price at end of closing" into their models, instead of say .. "wishful drinking" prices from Zillow and crew?
I do think the author is correct to imply that there's substantial survivorship bias when people talk about US market returns over the 20th century. (A stronger statement than the author makes: the causality is bidirectional; strong US market returns are not merely a consequence of the 20th century being "the American century", but a cause of it.)

But equally weighting other country markets is also nonsensical; the lower returns of the Nikkei in the last 20 years go hand-in-hand with that exchange have a smaller total market cap.

A more meaningful comparison would be to look at whole-world market-weighted returns, and try to correct for survivorship bias, as the authors of this paper have done: https://www.nber.org/digest/jul97/century-global-stock-marke....

> most modern statically typed languages maintain soundness through a combination of compile time and runtime checking.

Rust, C, C++ - all do not keep around this information.

You're right that the JVM languages (and thus, naturally, C#) do it differently. I think it is a bit silly to name out each of the JVM languages separately.
> We bought a $16,599 model, and while that wasn’t the most specced-out option, it was one that creative professionals around The Verge and Vox Media felt could handle their heavy editing workloads.

Yeah because firing up Photoshop to change colors of a photograph or Premier to splice some video requires a desktop which costs more than every piece of technology I’ve bought over the last decade as a software engineer put together.

Apple knows what they’re doing, and they’re laughing all the way to the bank with customers like the Verge.

Edit: Yes, I know I’m talking about the older model which doesn’t alter the point I’m trying to make in that they overpaid for something they don’t understand.
The basis of blockchains is that you don't need to trust. You run the algorithm, you run it faster than everyone else and you got a coin to spend. It's all publicly, cryptographically verifiable. As long as everyone agrees on which blockchain is the real one nobody can take away your coin.

This trustlessness is an important selling point in a world where people don't trust each other, their institutions, their governments, especially after 2008 when it was clearly demonstrated that the financial institutions we depend on are being run like criminal organizations, to this day and with zero consequences for the criminals. So here comes technology to save the day.

Crypto economies can exist because blockchain technology eliminates the double spending problem. The problem of course is that although blockchains can restrict people from spending their coin twice, they can't restrict people from committing the rest of the crimes, including scamming, social engineering, insider trading, pumping and dumping and other market manipulations. Every crime in the book, since crypto economies are not meant to be regulated. Outright replacing the blockchain with a different one also happened to Ethereum. The perpetrators range from lone social engineers to companies like a16z doing white-collar crime on an industrial scale. Trustlessness basically devolves into a bigger fish eats the smaller one system, and Ponzi schemes in which people are left holding useless crypto assets. It's all about stealing USD from bigger fools. Bonus points if you manage to convince them to never sell their cryptocurrency back, which is why crypto is being pushed as an utopia, as a solution to everything. It's the future of selling art (NFT) and hosting websites (Web 3.0), even though it is obvious that blockchain technology is not especially suitable for any of that. It can only really eliminate the double spending problem.

Unfortunately trust, and more importantly oversight will always be required. You can't avoid it as long as there are humans involved. We have to fix our institutions instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with them, most of our problems can be accounted to industries and interest groups manipulating the system to their own benefit, more usually than not by hindering regulatory effort.
>Is 4K60 on a phone possible?

This doesn't use solar electric though. It (mainly) uses direct solar heat. It also doesn't use any kind of peltier cooling. It's a largely passive device with a few minor electric components that won't draw much power.

The shortest maturing TIPS is 5 years. While you can sell your TIPS early, it has to be through the secondary market. And that involves transferring your TIPS to a 3rd party broker (and fees). I can't imagine its worth the trouble unless you need to get out of a 10 or 30 year TIPS. TIPS doesn't compare at all to a personal savings account.
We need to fix this.

We should take this completely out of companies' hands. The incentives are too perverse and too prevalent for anything good to come out of playing dark pattern whack-a-mole through legislation or, worse, "promoting dark pattern awareness" or some other brand of blame-dodging hogwash. Companies are stealing money and getting away with it. We have the technology to stop them. We should stop them.

I suspect the easiest way to do it would be to give credit card company cancellation buttons legal bite: unless someone signs physical papers and does credit checks (e.g. for housing and utilities), nonpayment must be respected as a request to cancel and not creatively misinterpreted as an invitation to extend credit, charge fees, and accumulate interest.

right-wing is in love with putin. Trump openly praised putin. MTG openly criticized Biden for sending help to Ukraine. Right-wing lunatics DREAM about turning the USA to the oppressive state similar to putin's regime.

Putin in love with right-wing. Russian propaganda shows fox news on the state TV. Why didn't putin invade Ukraine when trump was the president? John Bolton says that's because Trump was a useful idiot for Putin and that's so true. Trump did a lot to weaken NATO.
Right-wing means WEAK America. And putin looves it.

The answer to the question, "does a consumer think that beef with a USA label might have come from another country?" is obviously "No"

But there is a certain type of Lawyer-brain legalism that has infected our courts, and I don't know of a good solution. But you get this kind of obvious perverse result where it just defies common sense. In that sense, I can understand how lawyers and judges looked at whatever laws that define what each part of a "product", "of", "USA" means and concluded, that yes, imported beef can technically be "Product of USA"

I'm so sick of this.
down, from Germany.
The problem here is that they were buying the homes at prices above what they would actually sell for to real buyers and Zillow ended up racking up losses in that way. In your scenario in which two iBuyers outbid each other -- fine, but wouldn't the same situation as Zillow's happen? They'd just end up with overpaid inventory.
I disagree that your first example would qualify as a product of the USA. At least from a defense standpoint.

In my mind if a product has foreign decencies in it’s supply chain then it is not a product of the US alone. A reasonable exception for manufacturing equipment or IP owned by a foreign company.
