I'm in the upper midwest, from what I've seen when traveling in my state it's few and far between. New construction is all MDUs and custom homes in the 5k sqft range.

Fed/State government can issues credits/tax relief for "investors" who build MDUs but somehow starter homes are off the table?

It's not all doom and gloom, Habitat For Humanity appears to be the only outfit that's building affordable houses/starter homes, helps when you get a nice influx of money going into that program (thanks MacKenzie Scott).
Ever, never, never use your debit card where credit card can be used in its place.

The mechanisms for restoring the charge on your credit card are much stronger than on your debit card. And a credit card is a FUTURE charge, so you have time to fix the problem. Whereas a debit card is your CURRENT money, so it's just gone unless you get it back.

I do not understand why people use debit cards linked to their actual bank account out in the world. Paying bills securely through the utility is the only thing we use that for.
That probably defines the minimum legal standards for companies to adhere to, I guess? Companies should be free to implement their own additional improvements (identity verification, for example).

Adding too many legal requirements could make it more challenging for competitors to build their own compliant implementations.

Ali express sometimes gives interesting stuff, so I accept their ad mails, even if they are daily. A few days ago, they somehow decided I should speak french, which annoyed me enough to unsubscribe.

3 days later, the mails spontaneously reactivated themselves, but the french reverted to dutch. Which is what I want, so I presume it all worked out in the end.
Fun fact: I started building a couple React apps 5 years ago. Apps still run, but since they're class based component and don't use hooks, the apps feel like ancient. They run perfectly fine though. New guys don't really want to work on in though. Hooray for progress.

This could work for domestic requests, but the one example of this I've seen in the wild (and this was mentioned in the original post) involved a request (supposedly) coming from police internationally. Though, requests from foreign police are more likely to be handled with scrutiny, so maybe forcing more manual verification (and identification of the proper process in the first place) aren't bad things.
I wish I could upvote this twice.
Did you raise your hand after a couple of mentions and ask what a velocity vector was? Or go see the professor either right after class, or at their next office hours? Or talk to a TA about this?

Those all seem like appropriate solutions to the problem, whereas your response here, blaming the teaching staff and curriculum, seems to indicate you did not do what you should have.

oh looks like fake news, even the ny times article says.

"New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police."

Wikipedia says

"The cause of Sicknick's death was first thought to be from injuries, but months later the medical examiner reported there were none."

"The District of Columbia chief medical examiner found that Sicknick had died from stroke, classifying his death as natural"

The original commenter said some officer was beaten to death. Maybe another officer, or were they just mistaken?
Zoning contributes to why corporate landlords are buying up those single family homes. The profits are guaranteed when localities haven't allowed for the supply of housing to increase with demand. Those same corporations will probably lobby politicians to keep the supply low, like NIMBYs do.

>If your problem and requirements are such that you will always be outside the part of the solution space that SPAs are meant for

That seems like a very very strong claim. "You should do an SPA in case you ever need to make an SPA". Like what do you think actually needs to be an SPA?

Here's my list of popular sites that don't need to be an SPA but are anyway

* Reddit, nothing about it lends itself to being an SPA at all.

* Facebook, I think they went the SPA route in order to make it more difficult for ad blockers

* instagram

* Netflix (don't know how related this choice is to DRM constraints honestly)

* pinterest

* paypal

* gmail

Here's my list of sites that do need to be an SPA, or are at least easier if you make them as an SPA.

* Google maps

* Google docs

* Photopea

* Discord (This is almost all achievable with something like HTMX, save the webrtc stuff, but I think it would be more of a pain and would rely on a lot of complicated session management stuff happening on the server)

* AirBnb, which I'll give a pass since it makes such heavy use of maps.

My take away is that if you're reaching for the standard SPA toolkit you might be better off using something like QT or Godot engine, writing native code, and compiling it for the web. Anything that uses maps or rich text editing probably should be done as an SPA, although if you can make it so that just the one component is "rich" you should probably do that.

Using more complicated components can be a reasonable idea, like using a graphing widget or a maps widget, but you can do those things without making your entire app an SPA.

I just don't buy the "you might need to make your app an SPA some day to you might as well take on the technical burden from that decision now" idea. Very very few projects need to be an SPA, and when you have one it's probably pretty obvious.
On a meta level, this is exactly how you should specify a design system. There is zero focus whatsoever on any technical implementation beyond basic raw HTML and CSS. So many design systems fall into the trap of trying to put out framework specific libraries of their components that inevitably fall short and end up being a bigger liability than they are worth. Just put out a visual specification and a UX language to build to, and leave the project specific details to each developer.
Justice Stevens is the best. He wrote the sole Dissent on Nordlinger v Hahn (a case where we we had a chance to end the nightmare that is Californias Prop 13) referring to long-time California property owners as "Squires" in the process https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html

Clarence Thomas OTOH wrote the Concurrence and even refused to sign the Opinion because the court didn't go far enough and overturn a previous ruling from Pennsylvania which would have given property owners even more tax cuts. https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/19/us/supreme-court-justices...
Obviously, a student must sell themselves to the school, but the admissions department should not be assuming what an applicant wants to do beyond what they say in their application. Every college application I've seen has a question asking "Why us over other schools?" and that is the appropriate place to explain why the school would be a good fit. It is not okay to assume that because of someone's extracurricular activities or background that they are not a good fit for your school. It is unlikely that a musician or an athlete would be assumed not to be a good fit despite many of these schools having mediocre music departments and sports programs. The original article shared in this thread cited a study showing that membership in ROTC, 4H, or FFA was negatively correlated with admission. It could be that those types of students are just bad at marketing themselves, or it could be (more likely, in my opinion) that the admissions reviewers have a bias against those activities and the people they imagine do them.
This is the kind of pain that comes from trusting scammers and nincompoops about unworkable blockchain "scalability" fixes.

Here's the sequence. Those dumb enough to ignore it are doomed to repeat the pattern. I'm probably getting some details wrong in this Rube Goldberg scheme, so feel free to correct.

1. Citing "Ethereum network congestion," Axie Infinity announces an ethereum side chain, Ronin.[1]

2. Ronin was a centralized server (therefore fast and cheap) authorized to make Ethereum Mainnet transactions. The server was a hot wallet in other words.

3. The Ronin team tried to make it look like they were "decentralized" by splitting signing authority among 9 "validator nodes." (the article)

4. An attacker obtained 5 of 9 keys, which is the signing threshold.

5. With the required threshold of keys, the attacker signed the transitions moving assets off the Ronin servers.

None of this is new. The Bitcoin "block size war" was fought over this very point. Unworkable scaling schemes are going to end in disaster with no fallback, and no recourse for those who lose money. You end up with nothing, and will be sad.

And it's sad that the same lessons keep getting replayed over and over. It's really simple. Can your "blockchain" be validated with regular hardware? Does it use a secure consensus algorithm? Is there a secure side channel through which low-value transactions can flow? If not, you're going to have a bad time when the shenanigans start happening.

Now, is that side channel effectively a single server? Handling hundreds of millions of dollars of value? Have they rolled their own crypto? If yes to any of these, get out and stay out.

This is really cool, but it feels like you're making users do a lot of work to elicit their preferences.

Do you think if you asked them to rate each input factor directly, they would be less honest, or some of their implicit preferences wouldn't get surfaced properly, or something?
Sort of.

What's prohibited are "laser weapons specifically designed, as their sole combat function or as one of their combat functions, to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision." "Permanent blindness," in turn, is defined as "irreversible and uncorrectable loss of vision which is seriously disabling with no prospect of recovery."

First, ordinary laser pointers are not "specifically designed...to cause permanent blindness."

Second, it's not apparent to me that ordinary laser pointers are generally capable of causing permanent, as opposed to temporary, blindness.

Third, it's also not apparent to me, without researching the issue, that the Protocol even applies to civilian use.

To be sure, whether ordinary laser pointers are up to the task proposed is a separate question. But, if so, their use would not seem to violate the Protocol.
> It's amusing to see these kind of statements from the decentralized no goverment/no authorities crowd

I see this meme and I don't get it

Why do you think this studio was a no government no authorities crowd?

I havent seen anything from Axie or its founders that suggested that, my assumption is that you see one word or one piece of technology that overlaps with the aspirations of completely different people that are anarchists, whats your assumption?
Rust is good and C is bad though.

> Bugs occur in rust code too.

Generally speaking, not these ones.

> It's not a silver bullet to fix all problems associated with software development.

No one said otherwise.

> Each language will have its own set of issues and quirks.

But not memory safety ones.

> It's easy to pick on C because it's been around far longer than most things

Not at all. Lots of languages existed before C that had improved safety. It's easy to pick on C because, with regards to memory safety, it's awful.
This isn't a case where there was a flaw in a smart contract. This is a case where they straight up hacked servers and stole keys from them.
Anecdotally, I see this response to criticism of crypt pretty often: that we just don't understand. If you wanted to help a non-believer understand where would you point them? Not interested in being red-pilled into s**-coins but rather understand the benefits better. All of the sources I frequent are quite critical of the actual benefits (if any) of crypto.

> Then you rotate that by the fine angle

Explain?

Are you trying to reduce the error in the linear interpolation by describing the convex curve between the endpoints?

The derivative of the cosine is the sine, and the derivative of the sine is the cosine...so I'd expect the required output of the fine angle table to interpolate 0.15 between 0.1 and 0.2 and the required output to interpolate 45.15 between 45.1 and 45.2 degrees will be very different.
this is very cool, thank you
Kaspersky was caught helping the Russian government back in 2017. Anyone still using their software in 2022 probably has much larger problems.
> BTW, those bridges that service 35 vehicles oftentimes keep the more densely populated areas fed

I assume if it's vital infrastructure to a couple mega-farms they'll happily take over maintenance. They're not gonna just shut down operations because some rural bridges on their preferred routes aren't maintained anymore. They'll either accept longer routes using a smaller set of still-publicly-maintained bridges, or solve the problem some other way, maybe by maintaining the roads themselves. Public spending drops, and one or both of food prices go up slightly and profits go down slightly. Seems fine. May well be cheaper, overall—forcing companies to choose between longer routes and maintaining their own roads seems like a good way to weed out routes that are being maintained at a net loss.

Why do folks act like farmers are doing what they do out of altruism or something? "You owe farmers! They feed you!" Yeah, I do owe them. I owe them what I paid for the food. Right? If they decide I'm not sufficiently grateful they can stop. I'm not a "the market solves all problems" sort but I'm pretty sure it'd solve that one, no problem. Others will happily increase production to make up for the loss, because it's a market. Throw a fit that urbanites aren't subsidizing rural living & businesses enough, and stop producing, and someone with more sense will gladly take that market share.

Sounds like a non-sequitur. Theft of cryptocurrency being illegal does not mean that it is safe, and doesn't offer any evidence at all against the parent's post that it is "safer" to use banking systems than to use blockchain.
To add a data point—I’m in this demographic and for unrelated (but maybe not uncorrelated) reasons have never elected to receive a call back from customer support (being “on call” is almost as bad as being on a call) and have never had food delivered (the concept feels disgustingly lazy and wasteful).

It’s not unfixable. It’s broken by design.
Sadly, this strikes me as a document that was initially as egocentric as the title implies, but was later groomed and manicured to be more palatable. The match/replace "we" language is there to support this.
She was hesitant because of my mood disorder diagnosis. She frankly admitted that. What I feel changed her mind is that I asked here what caused my mood disorder. She said she did not know. So I asked why she is not doing everything to help me find out.

But all this too extensive logging, research, and persuasion on my part.

To emphasize the issue I have had with doctors on medicare; I had IBS-D, a flare up so bad, for over a month. I went to a doctor, they took one fecal test which showed nothing. They did not reply to my continuing issue so I went back to them. The doctor said exactly this; "What do you want me to do about it?" I lost it. Yelled at him so loudly others came into the office. They never sent me to a gastro doc. I need up curing it on my own by using my understanding of my genetics and diet changes.
Given we're heading into environmental crisis, I don't think it's morally defensible to promote a system which actively attempts to maximise energy consumed to the point of restarting coal power plants, in order to explore industries that have primarily been used for greater-fool and pump-and-dump wealth transfer. I haven't seen any examples where NFTs actually have use that isn't just "collectibles + massive energy waste", and the only uses I've seen for crypto outside scamming are avoiding legal barriers ie transferring money over borders, selling drugs, that type of thing.

You'd need to put forward an argument for specific NFT or crypto tech that hinge on blockchains as a necessary component of the innovation, and I've literally never seen that. I've seen plenty of "thing X but on the blockchain", which is not innovation, it's branding.

The fact of the matter, as far as I can see, is that NFTs and crypto are popular because they enable you to make tons of money grifting, without having to go through the inconvenience of providing any actually-useful innovation, while contributing to environmental destruction. It's like boiler-room penny stocks, if they were fuelled by coal-rolling.
It's in the article. Keys were stolen.
I don't think any of that is changed. If anything this allows that injustice to be amplified by those in power.
Similarly, the MIT-affiliated PubPub <https://www.pubpub.org/>.
Currency takes on the value in which people believe it holds. Bitcoin is no different, and would instantly crash in the scenario of a worldwide financial system collapse.

It’s juvenile to believe otherwise, and reaffirms the believe that Crypto is just a 21st century pyramid scheme.
Product Hunt is a mystery to me
When I build something, I usually do a Show HN and sometimes get a lot of attention.

Product Hunt is supposed to be similar, right?

But when I post something over there, it seems to just go into a black hole and disappear. There is no "new posts" page or anything. How is anyone finding out about new posts on Product Hunt? How do posts over there get their first upvotes?
They did the right thing - finding suspiciously malicious code is their job. Not their fault the user was an idiot, spooks PEBKAC is still PEBKAC.
No it's both. There's a ton of issues like overflows in the kernel but people have prioritized looking at unpriv -> kernel or unpriv -> root, and not root -> kernel. Now many of the root -> kernel vulns are unpriv -> kernel.

The issue is still the code, it's just the impact that has changed.

Yes sadly, I'm specifically responding to someone who mentioned the browser monoculture:

This is just more of the same, sadly it is not a new engine
> I do not understand why people who have legal intentions would want to be part of the crypto economy. There's nothing but more risks with zero benefits.

I agree 100% on the risk, and my main problem with it is the avg person getting caught up in it. But at the same time, you see all the "PayPal froze my funds" posts, etc, so obviously the current system is flawed in its own way.

You could imagine a future in which PayPal is a layer on top of Ethereum (or any other L1 chain) and provides reversibility, etc, for a fee, but at the same time the user also has the freedom to eject out of it and take all the funds with them. The maxi "everything must be 100% decentralized" take is a bit naive, so hopefully these accidents help us move in the right direction.

I think long term we might have a lot of the same guard rails we have today, but they'll just be re-built from scratch in a digital-first way, rather than what we currently have.
