I think being a landlord is like everything else, there are upsides and downsides, and there are "amateurs" and "professionals".

By which I mean that being a landlord is a business, and it takes time and experience to learn the ins and outs of any business, and ultimately experience improves performance.

By extension the landlord with one property, gets little overall experience (maybe one lease a year or so) so they encounter all the rental-business-challenges, one at a time over a long period of time.

It may take years to get a bad tenant, or years to figure out what is the correct amount to spend on maintainence, or discover what kind of garden works best, and so on.

With only one property under management, there is also magnification of the effect of individual events. One property, and one bad tenant, is a big deal. One property and the need for a new kitchen, of bathroom etc is a big deal.

A portfolio of multiple properties helps to spread the load. 1 bad tenant is only 10% of income and so on. Plus with 10 properties you can have a regular plumber, electrician, handyman etc, and so you get good rates, and good service, because you become important to them.

Your family member has learned an expensive lesson about vetting tenants, that lesson will cause some to exit the market, and others how to "understand the landlord business better."

Typically it makes landlords more risk-adverse, and this has knock-on effects for those who are indeed bad tenants. (for starters the only ones who will rent to bad tenants are inexperienced (bad?) landlords.

The spill over of this are folks who have flags (previous bankruptcies) who may be perfectly OK now, but are victim then to landlords that aren't prepared to take on that risk.

Some larger landlords can take on some percentage of "medium risk" - small landlords will learn (the hard way) to only take on "no risk".
Shouldn't autocomplete be provided by LSP these days? It's an interoperable framework, so you can implement it just once for your preferred language/workflow and then just use it anywhere.

If this comment from a former employee is correct then no, he had root access to a bunch of stuff for no good reason and their security stance is abysmal.

Nobody should have the root aws tokens. They should be split between two teams and stored in a safe & access should go through another method that is audited

YOU might be an adult, but honestly in the past few years, it seems pretty clear that plenty of people who are age 18 or 21 or even age 40 can't seem to act like adults. And I say that as someone who is a proponent of MDMA legalization.

It is well known that humans can't make rational choices. If refrigerators with CFCs were still legal to purchase alongside non-CFC refrigerators, I'd be willing to bet the ozone layer would probably not exist right now. If leaded gasoline wasn't basically banned, I bet plenty of people will still drive around using leaded gasoline.

Stallman is not the brightest. He could have easily suggested to call it "nux" written as "gnux". It has "GNU", it has the second syllable of "Linux", but most importantly, it brings it down to one syllable... and is cool.

Instead, he tried to butcher a cool name that "Linux" is by adding capitalized "GNU" and a freaking slash. Why would anyone do that when saying and writing "Linux" serves the same... and if you have to refer to the kernel, you can say "the Linux kernel" or just "Linux" when the context lets you.
My employer pay taxes for me based on either a table or percentage (this is up to me). At the end of the year our tax authorities sums everything together (income, capital gains, ownership, debt and so on) and sends me my preliminary tax report for me to verify and make changes to. For normal people it's usually correct with most deductibles already accounted for. It's easy to fill in any other deductibles or income that is not already accounted for. This year it ended up with the government owing me approx. $2000.

Quickstrom: Property Based Acceptance Testing with LTL Specifications
Having done a bit more reading, I’m increasingly convinced QV has very narrow application rather than being a general voting scheme, and may simply be a vacuous idea. I guess I need to dig into the proof to see what is actually claimed (versus loosely extrapolated).

The use of QV in voting scenarios where you have 100 tokens to split among alternatives seems completely motiveless, beyond “QV is great because there’s a mathematical proof.” But a proof of what? Not a proof of anything relating to that voting scheme, as far as I can see.
Hmm. I always considered HN to be one of the cleanest sites that displays dense info. Props for going through with the project though! I'm sure you learned a lot of useful things.

If you want some feedback: I'm hvaing a hard time distinguishing one post from another. Maybe changing the color of the author & comments links could change that? Maybe add some spacing, so that the title & metadata is grouped together? This id already starting to approach native HN though. :)

Sorry for the delay.

For «photo of an ACeP rendering» I meant some "witnessing" representation of the results of ACeP's workings; you have seen it live: good. I have not, and I am relying on the available material. From the pictures I could see, the apparent colours are many. Traditional B/W E-Ink displays achieve that (i.e. pixels rendering grey shades) through in-pixel dithering - within the cell you get an amount of B-particles and an amount of W-particles. To get similar "detail", or "effect of more colours being shown", with out-pixel dithering, you would need a proportionally high resolution. Some available photographic material taken of ACeP displays "in action" seems to exclude out-pixel dithering, hence work as one would suppose - you cannot get that richness with a "mosaic". This, especially if implicitly compared with some displays of similar technology that use fully discrete colour states (e.g. B/W/R).

So, if the ACeP you saw at SID 2019 revealed using discreet states of primary colours (e.g. BWRGBYO), is it possible that you saw an implementation similar to the "ACeP E Ink Gallery Palette" instead of the "full" "ACeP E Ink Gallery"? Because: again: what is the difference between the two, if they both were "discreet BWRGBYO", without any "traditional" in-pixel dithering?

Of course, judging from the pictures can be tricky: the Waveshare WS-18295 as seen at https://www.waveshare.com/5.65inch-e-Paper-Module-F.htm seems to show many more colours than the seven full-discreet. The small palette is much more evident in the corresponding E Ink AB1024-EGA ("E Ink Gallery Palette 4000"), as seen at https://shopkits.eink.com/product/5-65%cb%9d-e-ink-gallery-p... . Such gross dithering is of course expected as that product is explicitly an "ACeP-EIG*P*".

Edit: and by the way, to achieve that effect of richness in colours that the available "photos" show is increasingly difficult using only "four inks and a base": there is no (e.g.) native yellow and orange in state-of-the-art "E Ink Gallery Plus ACeP"...

> Where do you see any statement that they can achieve "full logical range of combinations within a single pixel"

I have never expressed that and the idea to "achieve a logical range" makes no sense in the context. I said that subpixel complexity in ACeP is logically sufficient to represent a full range of combination without bringing on the table ideas of colour composition imported from heterogeneous technologies such as LCD.
Yes, but it isn't.
All my examples are defensive. Defending the freedoms that are guaranteed by the underlying social contracts (but commonly ignored by those in power, even in the most democratic societies that exist) is not antisocial at all. Unlike violence, crypto specifically is not empowerment above others, but personal empowerment for everyone. Everyone can be empowered at the same time.
Evidence based but yet wholly ineffectual for so many. The medical model of mental health treatment is designed to treat symptoms not heal causes very often. That the causes are varied and treatments don’t scale as easy as a pharmaceutical manufacturing line doesn’t mean it’s not one of the more important pursuits medicine is trying to tackle. Hoping the current medical generation will continue to move away from the “chemical imbalance” theory of the past, of which there are far far too many practitioners out there holding onto ineffective treatments.

CBT still costs a LOT of money and time, so there is an incentive towards finding more effective treatments, but managing symptoms is in some ways more preferable because the medical system needs people to be “sick” or else a treatment might be seen by puritanical society as somehow indulgent or hedonistic. What if a “cure” involves taking significant time away from work to work through trauma? They might be better and more productive in the end than a stopgap treatment, but society can’t necessarily tolerate the idea.
Cue the downvotes: keep some part of the compute in-cloud so that the secret sauce isn’t part of your installed product. You don’t have to charge a subscription fee provided the compute operation is a low enough input cost.

To those who disagree, I humbly submit that you haven’t been in the position of selling an installed app and seeing most use of it pirated.

Another mechanism is to release new features. That way, a cracked version has a limited time value.

"Some people complain about alot, no one is happy all the time, life isn't what we hoped it would be, my boss is mean sometimes."
Totally the same for me. I have started going into work one day a week at my own prompting just to get some bike commute in (I just don’t like biking in circles unless there’s some mileage away from the city). No one else is there but I have seen a few old friends in the tiny remnants of the cafeteria. And I sit all alone up in the top floor where it used to be execs so I have an awesome view of the mountains and so on. And the network bandwidth is much nicer than my wifi.
> it wouldn't violate my perceptions

what right do you actually claim to protect your perceptions? lordy, what a mess.
I am old :) But experience is a big thing; I can sniff by just skimming the table definitions where probably something is very wrong. In uni in the 90s I studied both relational theory and formal methods and I had to spend a lot of time figuring out and fixing complexity; if you take a university level book on big O complexity and work through it, you will have a good feeling what software can and cannot do and in what way. That has not really changed; we have more efficient and more cache, we have improved algorithms, but things that cannot be looked up in O(1) are still dangerous and possibly can incur enormous IO even with only a few million records. Naive developers see that things are blazingly fast locally on their laptops and that’s it. I have met, especially in the last few years (In my bubble this is getting worse, quite fast), quite a lot of lead devs that actually do not know what an index is for and so I see entire dbs without any or only on the id field. I know people (for some reasons) do not like ORMs that create tables and indexes, but it would prevent many rookie mistakes if they did.
> Maybe "commercial entity whose goal is to generate positive-yield fusion" is what they mean..

Maybe, but that wouldn't be true either. Zap Energy has demonstrated neutron production in D-D reactions. I think Helion has, too (and possibly in D-T reactions as well?). Neither is particularly close to break-even, but then, neither are these people. It's a baffling claim.
So far I've managed to resist coming in to the office for pointless reasons.

Our team was already split between the US and UK, and we tend to work outside of our team across multiple projects with people all over the world. So all meetings were always video calls even pre-pandemic.

Some senior managers want us to be in the office 20% of the time to get that nebulous "collaboration" thing... Which literally never happened in person anyway. On the other hand, my managers have said we shouldn't come in unless there is an actual reason to do so.

Fingers crossed sanity prevails...
I have kids now and the last game I prioritized to play this way was BoW during a summer vacation. I just hope these grand single player offline adventures wont go extinct until I will get some solid free time again. But on the other hand, I have such a long backlog of "old games" I want to play so I'm not really worried. It's more my kids that will get caught up in the Fortnites of the future and never experience the world building possible.
Pffft - lmao. So everyone should be equally poor? Have you read no history? The only thing the Soviet Union was attempting to do by building socialism was to turn illiterate serfs into a "middle class". The actual, successful construction of a middle class via market capitalism turned out to be the most successful experiment in human human history to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, eradicate famine and plagues, and create almost universal literacy. The very fact that you have the words and "thoughts" with which to question bourgeois society speaks to the great pains your forebears went to to make sure you weren't a slave peasant, and that's what you want to go back to? Shame on ya.

But the US tax code is an order of magnitude larger than the Swedish one. Which probably means that it is several orders of magnitude more complex (however that might be defined).
The "essential services" are kind of the big thing in dispute -- you say "common defense, a legal system to enforce contracts" and that's a typical libertarian perspective, but certainly not the only set of essential services that reasonable people could posit for their government.
Yeah, it's a disaster here in Stockholm. A 12+ year queue with lots of young working people basically subsidising wealthy older people to live in the city centre for under half of market rates.

Renting as a whole should really be much more restricted as a short-term thing though - build more houses for people to own, and lower the deposit requirements so people can start a mortgage earlier.

Every professional worker should be able to own their own home - so they have security, can decorate it, etc. and aren't losing tens of thousands just to a landlord every year.
It maybe groundbreaking in the sense that it breaks new scientific ground. Sadly, not suggesting to break new industrial ground.
On the other hand, we need to strike a balance between "sustainable funding" (be it government or corporate) and true independence.

You don't. You need extended support to get security patches in general, not for log4j. Different issues, sorry I wasn't clear.
That's... a strange opinion from French person (although looking at current French government's actual involvement in Ukraine it kind of corresponds).

Why - Trump was extremely close to removing US from Nato in 2018, a moment Putin waited for decade and a half (how he knew about this is another story, let's say my opinion is really not favorable for Trump and tend to lean on US secret services conclusions on their cooperation). Only conservative hawks in his own government managed to steer him away from this tragic moment.

For any European not in bed with russian spying conglomerate that's an existential threat. We can see it now. Ukraine wouldn't have any significant arms deliveries and would be left to die and be enslaved again by Russia, with Trump cheering this as brilliant move (what he still actually did).

Russians would take over Baltic states, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary (although there is already pro-kremel person installed so not much work needed), possibly also Romania, Moldova, Czech Republic. Also that pesky Georgia, who do they think they are having their own state and democracy. Simply good old pre-1989 setup with good old soviet terror. That's maybe why you guys don't care so much about Ukraine, it seems too far and not your fight, car manufacturing in Russia seems more important. Considering what Putin actually says about whole Europe, you may be wrong this time.
Methodology:
1) Download your income transcript from the IRS using your IRS account.
2) Make sure all claimed income on the transcript is included.
3) Do the puzzle.
4) Print and file.

Be sure you have a copy, either scanned or electronic, of all documents on your computer. Ditto all tax return filled in forms. Use the fill-in pdf’s the IRS provides.

Do not miss a filing date. File a tax return missing important documentation if necessary, but file. Similarly, pay the tax you owe, or estimate you owe on time. The penalties for late filing and owed taxes are severe. You will not make a serious error if you work from the income transcript.
No, plenty of people still like computing when it's based on FLOSS and doing more interesting things than just logging on to some huge centralized service like IBM of old. Look at the excitement around new projects in Rust. Even Web3, for all of its silliness, builds on the same aspirations. Your comment is just thinly-veiled ageism, you are saying things about "getting old" that just don't apply.

I go into the office, and everyone just works, no one talks. Even the people that really wanted to be back in the office don't chat. So I spend a day in silence, rather than a day at home taking coffee breaks in the yard with my dog.

You do not have to guess “what the government knows.” Download your income transcript. See the “methodology” I replied above in response to this comment.

>>Most people don't have that desire, they just want the money to go from A-B reasonably cheaply, and there are existing great solutions for that except at the fringes

Yes, it is for the fringes. One day Alibaba could find itself on the fringes, as collateral damage in some geopolitical dispute that locks it out of the centralized global financial system, as a result of which country it is based in.

I have no idea if this concern motivated Alibaba's reliance on crypto though.
Yes, and it could have led to scammers selling fake vaccines that did nothing, or worse, killed people.
Soft Money: A position where a substantial portion (usually 50%+) of one's salary is expected to be brought in by grants. Failing to do so is, at best, going to impact your salary, and at worst, is a good way to no longer have a job.

Hard Money: University-level funds (from the university, the state if a state school, etc.) provide a portion of your salary that doesn't have to be tied to a grant. This often comes with other obligations (i.e. teaching).

Most positions are a mix of the two in some form. Purely soft money positions, or >50% soft money positions, are common at some research institutes, medical schools, etc. Hard money positions that don't come with substantial non-research obligations are very rare.

> the idea of women working outside the home at all was frowned upon.

That is a pretty common misconception, although understandable since it was 100 years ago. Women who finished school, while unmarried, was fully expected to help support their parents and society at large by working outside the home at suitable work places. After the second world war, spurred by an a worker shortage because of the war and male only military drafts, this got expanded to slowly also include married women and more professions. Acceptance for married women who wanted to remain working was however a slow cultural change.

Because the work force was primarily young and recently out of school, they weren't treated with much respect. It was also expected that they would quit as soon they got married, so any long term professional relationship was impossible.
