1. So, it's a mere 1% of the population/year, in a country that has below-replacement fertility.

2. Of course you shouldn't count foreign students or temporary workers, they get counted if they choose to stay. If you were counting them, as well as immigrants, you'd be double-counting the same people.

3. I didn't realize that the singular suburb of Vancouver called Richmond, BC (Population: 216,000) can be referred to as 'several cities'.

4. Why does a young[1], educated[2] person moving into the country in the prime of their life 'put an enormous strain on everything'? Would you care to elaborate? To me, it seems like a gift of all the costs of early-life childcare, plus the cost of a K-12-post-secondary education from their country of origin.

I think some games are healthier than others. Something like Baldur's Gate 1 lets you have a full session within one hour, whereas for many recent games, 2 hours might be the minimum dose to enjoy yourself. I'm very annoyed at how many games require several hours to get through the filler of walking from one city to another.

I feel like using docker is cheating as you could do that with Rust as well
That's great. It would be even greater if userconf.txt could also contain an ssh key after the first line and put that ssh key on the new user.

That's a perfectly acceptable policy to have, but you'll have to check and monitor that policy like you always have. You can add an A/AAAA record for use-application-dns.net and Firefox won't turn on DoH on your network unless the user overrides it. Chrome's DoH model will use your existing DNS server: if it supports DoH, Chrome switches to DoH, otherwise it'll stick to normal DNS.

Do note that malware and even legitimate software (some Android apps, some Windows applications) have been using HTTP(S) based domain lookups for years, though, years before DoH was even proposed. I've used free HTTP proxies over fifteen years ago to bypass school filters, for one, and that's without any infrastructure of my own!

You'll have to configure an intercepting proxy to exclusively allow traffic through if you want to catch problematic software in the act, and add some pretty sophisticated filtering. With the modern take on inserting your own certificate authority (certificate pinning, unrooted Android, NodeJS, etc. all avoiding your user certificate store) you'll have to go through great lengths to get that working, though.

Truth be told, DNS was never really much of a security measure if you don't have control over what applications do or do not use it.

We really are not optimal in any particular way. We started out as monkeys, and have done the best we could from a bad starting point. Turning the spine vertical really did not work out well at all, and knees are unfortunate at best.

Probably worse than all that is how we go all to hell when we don't get exercise. Cats can sleep 18 hours a day without ever getting out of shape. Bears can can get super fat and then sleep for months, and be fine. A lot of birds can go a week without drinking or eating, working out the whole time with no sleep or even rest breaks.
Half of men aged 16-24 use ad blockers, so it’s not uncommon either.

I think there lies the problem. You need to work up to acquiring those customers.
But can I? I haven't tried recently, but when I tried to setup a dev container for Rust last year I had to do the setup by hand on a raw Ubuntu image.

Anyways, cargo and rustup are cool tools, I don't want to criticize Rust. I just don't think the JS tooling is so outlandish as people make it seem so.
Twitter is terrible as a social platform. It's a great platform to get quick news about something. Obviously platforms like these thrive during eventful times. Just look at who is posting about the Ukraine/Russia war. But it's not about dialogue or threads. It's only consumption.

I don't work at salesforce, but I can almost guarantee people who work there will tell you they are miles from getting everything right. Every company is pretty messy internally.

As for theranos and wework - i don't mean those kinds of things. I mean standard non-fraud startups. The always positive culture is there, and at least for folks who take some pride in being rational, it is quite demoralizing.
That doesn't mean it's not a ticking time bomb though.. I could understand this in very special legacy production situations with almost air-gapped security mitigations. Otherwise it's just laxness and a hack waiting to happen.

We have some Windows 95-era crap that's still there because it controls stuff that would cost millions to replace and the vendor is long out of business. But certainly nobody is "logging into it" as a side note. They're physically and logically isolated. You can do it if the risks are otherwise controlled but it should be the last resort and it's extremely impractical. You basically need a situation where every single network packet allowed to go in or out is dissected and validated. And I don't just mean at the protocol level.

The thing is games usually don't get anywhere. If I watch the Marvel movies for 100 hours, or most series, I'd be done with the whole thing. I've been playing Xenonauts for almost 100 hours and I'm only halfway through the campaign.

There's little satisfaction. Not as much growth as say, playing a sport, and not as much rest as just sleeping or lying down with a book/TV. I think games have evolved to be more competitive than fun, in both design and marketing.

I spend a lot of time hiding whole comment subtrees when browsing Reddit threads, especially on mobile. I'd do that on HN too except HN's UI is completely mobile-hostile with how tiny its buttons are. I don't fault Twitter for picking the opposite default.

In small discussions where most people are interested in every detail being followed up on, HN and Reddit's style is nicer. In popular discussions where every individual message has too many replies to care about and most people don't care to see every single subthread to completion, Twitter's style is much nicer because you can just scroll without repeatedly hitting buttons to avoid getting caught in way too deep subthreads every single message.

That isn't what the commenter you originally replied to was stating, nor was it my position. While your argument may have merit, it's a non-sequitur when used as a rebuttal to either that commenter or myself.

The poster is literally responding to a news article about housing affordability with the declaration about blind-bidding, "This is such a huge deal".

It really isn't. This is the difference between English vs Dutch auctions and the relative merits in an open and sane market can be debated. Sealed auctions are not a market failure. Sealed auctions do not necessarily lead to higher bids. Sealed auctions do not necessarily lead to market asymmetries. The effects of these two auction choices is largely irrelevant as long as we have the demand curve pushed out to crazy-town.

Do research on the property! One of the big advantages of Dutch auctions is that bidders don't get information on how you value something! Except of course that everything is valuable because of scarcity so yeah actually I guess sealed bids won't really provide a lot of value for the buyer.

Adjust your bid as others bid! English auctions allow you to make lots of adjustments based on what other bidders think something is worth! Oh, except of course everything is in demand so everyone just keeps bidding and the frenzy makes other participants unpredictable... so yeah, actually I guess open bids won't really provide a lot of value for the buyer.

I get it, you have a point you want to make. There are more constructive ways to do so than to misconstrue the arguments of the people you are replying to.

I'm really just tired of the bs.
Therefore we should cede more control?

I find some parts of Lua quite ugly and weird. It _is_ weird to have a lists a dictionary be the same thing, but you have access them differently, pairs() and ipairs() etc ect.

And I think it would be scary to have a team of programmers coming on and off a Lua project doing things all subtly differently, even rolling their own OO for example. You would have to be very disciplined as a team.

Not the op but I have a mortgage; Bought in Toronto in 2018 so fairly high. It is possible to have two adjoining thoughts:

1. It'd suck for me if house prices went substantially down.

2. It is nevertheless absolutely positively the right same thing for society.

The assumption that house is mandatory, can be your main retirement or even only plan, and prices can only go up is crazy and unsustainable. Pain is coming and I see no reason to keep making it worse while enriching people in undeserving ways.

This was my opinion for 20 years,from poor university student to renter to condo owner to house "owner". But I come from Europe so my brain can grok the notion of "you don't have to have a massive house. You just don't". This may sound insulting but my wife is love of my life, born Canadian, and cannot comprehend not having a house, having a family without a house, or that prices can go down. It's like seeing ultraviolet - no matter how much she squint she's not physically equipped :-)

Any data on why it dropped? COVID deaths probably had a large effect, but I can't imagine that is the only driver.

I found a weforum link for 2020 about drivers: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/01/us-life-expectancy-de...

It mentions the virus as the largest contributor of deaths, followed by overdoses, then "lifestyle" diseases -- cardiovascular issues.

The CDC reported similar findings for 2020. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2021/...

COVID-19 deaths contributed to nearly three-fourths or 74% of the decline

There were even more deaths in 2021 from COVID than 2020, so I guess that is probably still the biggest driver of the drop.

Org mode has a long tail of features. -- So org mode has a similar problem to how vi-emulation in other programs will often miss out on some niche behaviour.

Using org mode as an outliner is likely to be easy in a variety of tools.

A major part of org mode is task management, integrated with an agenda view. The full set of editor interactions would be harder to implement in other editors.

e.g. One feature org mode has is "org babel", which allows running snippets of code, and gluing these together as a way of doing literate programming.

Or e.g. the tables in org mode support spreadsheet calculations.

-- I'd say more that people find many different uses for org mode. That somewhat speaks in favour of org mode as a tool.

I interviewed at Fast last year as an experienced startup engineer. I was given the "describe a production incident you were involved in" question.

I detailed a case where a recent deploy I had done had resulted in elevated error rates for some of our clients and how I had solved it with a quick follow up push to prod. The interviewer asked why it wasn't caught in staging and I mentioned that it could have been but as a small company we have to make velocity vs bug tradeoffs and in general it feels like we are currently at a sweet spot. The interviewer was unwilling to explore that space at all, or the concept that different companies might want to land in different places.

Later I was given feedback that I did exceptionally well in the technical interviews but the company didn't want any cowboys on their team. All of that is probably just a long way of confirming the other anecdotes in this thread that from the outside fast seemed somewhere between delivery hostile and overly cautious.
I would rather be sad than bring children into this world just for my own selfish reasons. Not to forget the fact that how we are polluting the planet and not doing enough to counter climate change, there's a good chance life is gonna be tougher for upcoming generations.

I think banning, or severely restricting, HELOCs is a better idea. Canada also doesn't have inheritance taxes or a wealth tax.

The problem with taxing primary residencies is that homeowners aren't usually selling their homes to exit the market, they're upgrading or downgrading.
This is one of my concerns with DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC). Currently DoQ is designated to be on port 853, like DoT, but DoH is great because it's not easily distinguished from other traffic on 443. But, DoQ is a much better protocol so I hope that there is a resolution here, which I'm guessing will be the same as HTTP/3, so we'll see. Maybe in the end it will be the same as DoH.
Well, it can be fresh if you buy it soon after production, obviously. I assume the cow-to-cereal bowl pipeline is just a lot shorter for the cardboard cartons for whatever reason. Makes no sense, but the date discrepancy has existed for years.
This hypothesis is contested. Average IQ results have gone up generation by generation. While IQ tests aren't a straightforward intelligence measure, it's at least a result based on data rather than conjecture.
> On the other hand, I think long haul trucking will be one of, if not the first job to be 100% replaced by self-driving vehicles.

As someone who spent a good portion of his career in robotics and specifically self-driving cars (including the big companies with billions of dollars, not the me-too startups), I disagree.

Most people aren't as cynical as me, but I left the field entirely. I doubt it will happen within the decade, at least in a way that's profitable. I'm skeptical it will happen within 25 years. It's not hard to demo the technology to convince people it's almost here (I should know, as I often helped stage the demos for investors). But self-driving cars have been 2 years away for almost a decade now. I really think it's similar to nuclear fusion. Some people might remember when Google put a blind man in a self-driving car as a promotion. That was over 10 years ago. I'm not saying there has been no progress, but there is still a giant chasm of unsolved problems before getting to the finish line.

Of course not. That's why you can disable DoH on the software you install, and have the choice (in the EU) to return a product you bought online within 14 days if it doesn't live up to your expectations, or not buy the product at all.

However, it should be clear that we're not ceding control, per se, as we have never had control over these closed source devices in the first place! We should instead be working to gain control over our devices through open source efforts so that we can control what our hardware can and cannot do.

For what it's worth, there is a thread on XDA about customising Chromecast firmware that should allow you to hack the device to disable any unwanted behaviour, but I can't say if that method still works.
"The question arose starkly when the USSR collapsed, and Mikhail Gorbachev outlined the vision of a “common European home” with no military alliances from Lisbon to Vladivostok. In a limited form, the concept was revived by French President Emmanuel Macron in his recent abortive interchanges with Putin.

"If there had been anyone in the Kremlin who resembled a statesman, they would have leaped at the opportunity to explore something like the Gorbachev vision. Europe has strong reasons to establish close relations with Russia, ranging from commerce to security. Whether such efforts might have succeeded, avoiding the Ukraine tragedy, we can only guess. The answer could only have been found out by trying. Instead, the hard men in Moscow turned to violence, compounding their criminal aggression with self-defeating foolishness."

This shows a distinct lack of understanding the power dynamics in post-WWII Europe, and legitimate French insecurities in context of the strategic pincer of AUKUS (read: "Anglo-Saxon" or Oceania if you prefer) and (the now nixed) German-Russian axis and the platform to affect it (NS2, also nixed). It also completely ignores Russia's stated demands in December 2021 for written replies form "US and NATO". They want to hear that 'proposal' from US and NATO, not an insecure France that is rightfully quite worried about a re-militarized Germany OR a Germany in bed with Russia. There is a reason Macron is burning the hot-line to Moscow - France knows it is one of the designated 'losers' of this geopolitical reshuffling. And for the same precise reason, Russia does not consider French assurances as meaningful.

I think you are making sweeping statements. In particular, the link you gave looks to be harmfully misleading in relation to blind auctions for houses.

In my experience academic auction theory is almost irrelevant when buying a house. I do have a close friend who designs huge market trading systems, so I will talk to them and validate my opinion.

In practice, house transactions appear to be driven by irrational or ignorant participants (vendors, other bidders, agents, banks, insurance companies) and sometimes understanding those factors can give you a significant edge in the market. Also every house transaction has different context, risks and it’s own unique factors, so it is very difficult to make generalised rules.

Disclaimer: I know little about auction theory, and I have only spent a few years trying to understand one tiny property market, so my opinions are not that valuable.
Don't underestimate the value of practice. I've watched welders build up a bead to a thickness tolerance better than 0.001" with nothing more sophisticated than a hand-held TIG torch and wire.
