Boring Company. Can go underground.

There has to be intra city and inter city network. We still need parking lots and have to deal with traffic jams.

+ Having multiple 20-50 seater frequent round trips. There is lots of room for improvement ..esp with using AI and data. It will never get funded by state run outfits.

What I liked about Tesla Motors is that they used every customer’s trips and every car collected data for Tesla..blurring the line between being an automobile company and a data company…it is such a simple and effective solution.

They turned customers into part time employees who paid from their pockets to do Tesla’s job. Moved things fast. Everyone wins. If ever there was a collective crowd sourced hack. Meanwhile cruise et al took a different (imo, not very elegant) approach.

The question is why does something like blind bidding exist in real estate? It could exist in all sorts of places but doesn't. Imagine blind bidding when interviewing for a job. Write down the number you'd be willing to do the job for. Someone came in with a lower number, please resubmit.

These weird market distortions in real estate have underlying causes. A lot of them are based off patchwork rules and regulations around real estate. Stuff like who you're allowed to sell to, how much you're taxed, the paperwork required etc. Putting more patch work on top of a system that's obviously broken will probably make things worse in the long run.
Fwiw, the amount of cards we have to play with is pretty limited to a few starter sets so very specialized decks don't really happen. I got rid of all of my cards from the 90s (still kicking myself there).

It's more that it keeps the game fun as he's just getting into it. You're guaranteed that both players are going to have playable draws.

For any setting with more advanced players there would definitely be side effects and a more polished set of rules in place for those special cards and circumstances.
Yeah it's wrong to pretend there's that much choice.

And these shills always want the choice to be individual--hey if you don't the water label, don't use Universal. And in fact every label has something about it like this, like if you don't like getting the cover art discounted from your CD, don't use Warner Bros, if you don't like x, don't use y.

But what they hate is when it's collective, like we got together with 1000 other artists and all of us are negotiating collectively to get the watermark removed. Because that actually has an impact.

It is very common for "Christians" in the US to believe that evolution is not real. There have even been efforts in some schools demanding that "creationism" (the bible) be taught next to evolution as another scientific possibility of the Earth's creation with the scientific proof being the Bible.
> I don't have the numbers but I find difficult to believe that there's enough properties used for money laundering to move the prices.

In London, up to a third of all properties (depending on the area) are left empty. At that point I don't care if it's money laundering or speculative usage, but London's nickname "Londongrad" more than hints that an awful lot of Russian oligarchs used London real estate to launder stolen money [2].

Personally, I'd be fine to ban all foreign investment into real estate in hot housing markets no matter the country, with the sole exception of primary or secondary residence.

I saw some tanker on twitter explaining just how bad the Russian tactics with their tanks are. Poor training, poor logistics, and undermanned. Tanks get such poor gas mileage that they need tons of support. Extremely effective weapons when used properly but clearly Russia is not doing that.

> I don't think this will help.

You are exactly right, but this is by design. You're talking about the Canadian Federal Liberals. The Prime Minister is a trustafarian who got elected because his father was Prime Minister. Every major minister of their party owns several investment properties. The Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion (what a combo!) owns investment properties.

These people have zero interesting in seeing property values go down. It's their own net worth we're talking about, not to mention the net worth of their friends and donors.

The plan is to virtue signal their way to taking the least effective action possible (E.g. "ban foreign buyers", but leave loopholes so they can still buy through corporations), bring in another 500,000 people that will need housing, and then do as little as possible, but as loudly as possible, to "increase to supply". They've been in power 6 years and this has been an issue since day 1. Why anyone would expect them to address this issue on the face of Canadians still voting for them, is a mystery to any rational thinker.

It's a group of people where you have to ignore what they say and focus on their actions. Did the Canadian Federal Budget look at all like a budget passed by someone trying to reduce inflation? Trying to cool down housing markets even a little bit? Of course not. Look at the hand signing the cheques, not the mouth speaking the lies.
I've had two memorable interviews where timed coding was part of the interview, and I wowed the management team but did not get a call back due to taking about 10% too long on the coding. This is a good thing, in hindsight, considering the eventual fates of those businesses that hired like that.

It's counter-intuitive not to test for coding at an interview for a developer. But you just can't learn what you need to know, as a hiring manager, from a pass/fail timed test. This greatly informs my hiring process now.

In Canada this is called conditional on inspection and it’s a permitted clause in a sale. The problem is the minute you have multiple buyers there is overwhelming pressure to remove conditions that can make the sale fall through because the seller is more likely to take an offer that gives them a guaranteed sale.

Worse than using a binary protocol and an IDL, I think, are the myths that gRPC proponents seem to believe: e.g. you can't delete fields and all fields are optional, ergo <voila> you now have guaranteed backwards compatibility.
This is mostly a client problem. Mastodon has propagated some pretty lax behaviour with respect to adherence to the ActivityPub protocol, mostly because their reach is very large in comparison with the other projects, and because they just mapped their existing API on top ActivityPub (which was finalized post Mastodon being popular) and that was their existing use case.

The ActivityPub protocol itself makes it very simple to keep activities out of the public view. It's Mastodon, and projects that implement AP as a compatibility layer with it that address everything as public.

It also sends a message and sets the tone. The west needs to become much more economically hostile to countries that do not share our values or reciprocate from a policy standpoint. Why should the west make it easy to export work to countries that use defacto slave labor and have horrible human rights violations? We should also make it painful for companies wanting to do business in these places. Maybe if there were more pain involved on the other side of the equation they would take the environment and human rights a little more seriously.

As a regular contact lens wearer who switches to glasses in the evening, there’s a qualitative difference in the perceptual transparency as well as the quality of the visual adjustment.

All else being equal, I’d expect the immersive advantage of contact displays to be substantial.
Huh?! Have you seen the security detail of the US president? They're very afraid of their citizens – or at least of the occasional nutjob. And rightly so, as evidenced by the various assassination attempts in the last decades.

> Its not like the President / etc are actually all that important. The Government is more than them, and will live on and continue doing the objectionable stuff regardless.

The US president is a very important symbol and therefore a potential target, even though the whole of the US government consists of much more than just that one person.

This kind of attitude is what makes FOSS good compared to (for example) ChromeOS though.

It might be popular but it's hardly an improvement.
I can't recall if it was ever cracked - I think it has been, but largely Verance's claims at the time were true - people tried to record movie audio separate to the video and remix them to remove the signal, but that failed. As it says, it's just an (audio) steganography system, presumably at a slow and variable bit rate so it's hard to detect without knowing the algorithm.
I feel bad for the artists and engineers who work so hard only to get their track modified like this. It's like a gallery stamping a barcode onto the middle of a painting.

Not at all. Galleries don't necessarily own the work they're showing, likely can't legally modify the paintings & that painting is likely 1 of a kind vs a copy meant for a specific application. The musicians/engineers were paid for their work, and, barring some gross legal oversight on Universal's part, everyone involved understands that the audio can be edited when they do this.
Never trust a politician.

Not the OP, but this is an interesting remark.

Stocks aren't as attractive as they used to be, because people seem to be pessimistic about the development of the economy. Stagflation is the word that keeps emerging again and again in conversations of people who never used it two years ago.

At the same time, cash is obviously losing its value.

So the only thing that attracts investment is real estate, which cannot be printed at will, nor can it really "stagnate" as long as certain cities act as a magnet for immigrants, domestic and/or foreign.

Basically, this situation reflects our collective pessimism for the future. If/when people start believing that strong economic growth is around the corner, stocks will soak up some of the money that now flows into bricks and mortar.
Hi all

My name is Hamed, and I've always wanted a simple way/stop when it comes to recommendations for movies .

Most apps/sites out there are overengineered, and you have to start voting on hundreds of movies you watched and liked to get proper recommendations.

Well, the problem with that is I don't have the time to do that.

Although there re good solutions like letterboxd lists - where people create and share list of movies - it's still time-consuming.

I'm lazy. I want it now, and I want to know the release year, director and summary of the plot. Maybe the poster, but that's more or less it.

So I've spent a day building it. Enjoy

Instead of attacking me personally and appealing to an undisclosed authority, I would love to hear a well-reasoned argument against the idea of it being a supply issue.

Combine this with the backdrop of 40 years of falling interest rates. Do you really think the foreign boogieman is having a larger effect than the simple explanation of restricted supply and falling interest rates?

Prices per sq. foot in Toronto recently surpassed Vancouver. There's no way Toronto has more foreign property investors than Vancouver.

I think you were arguing for optimal price point which would maximize revenue, not profit?

Our profit margin is already razor thin, I do not think it can be further optimized. Meaning we can not further reduce price to get more users without operating at a loss.
> A DoS attack is any kind of attack in which the attacker seeks not to gain access to a system, but to simply deny others access.

By your own definition, it was not a DoS attack, because the subject was not seeking to deny others access. And without the intent to do harm, one may not genuinely identify the incident as an attack. Requiring intent is an important part of your definition, as it protects innocent users of a buggy system from being classified as attackers whenever any downtime incident occurs.

It adds some effort and complexity to the "build" dimension of your multi-dimension optimization, yes.

But it also removes a whole bunch of complexity from every other dimension, by removing variability from the equation.

If you cannot rely on /what/ you are running, then what, exactly, are you testing? Do you really know?

I've found that most "managers" (in fact, most programmers) don't seem to appreciate this. The "well, I don't know what happened -- maybe reboot the system, and it'll work?" approach is insane.
You can use third party tools and i believe command line to do this.

I agree this is closer to the root of the problem. It's not just foreign capital, or faceless corporate ownership (although both are part of it).

IMO it's that every professional / business / owner / wealthy person in Canada can basically easily borrow against their existing home equity, use that to purchase add'l rental units, and claim the mortgage interest as an expense against the rental income (thereby making the loan "free" of cost, although obviously you're still on for the principle). You have the risk of the housing market crashing, but that hasn't seemed realistic for the past 10+ years or so.

I'm not sure what the solution would be. I hesitate to even call it a "loophole" since to me, from a business POV, it makes sense (the cost of the debt is an expense to be put against the income, so you shouldn't have to pay tax on it).

Then, even if you're just breaking even as a landlord after the interest, property tax, maintenance, vacant times, etc - the underlying asset is appreciating as well.

So there needs to be solutions (like graduated tax on subsequent properties, or perhaps changes to being able to claim your mortgage interest as deductible, etc) to change this underlying dynamic.

Yes, dramatically increasing the supply of housing would be a better fix, but that's not likely to change quickly while economically de-incentivizing the real estate investment I described above would change things.

> Populations separating and changing until offspring isn't viable?

Generally, but then you have things like multiple canids being different species but able to produce viable hybrids (e.g. the large number of coywolves we have near me). Since "species" is a classification we made up which doesn't map to reality particularly well, it gets pretty fuzzy at the edges.
The root cause is a handful of cities winning and experiencing unreasonable growth they were never designed for. Winners grow at up to 300K people a year while losers shrink. Governments need to do more so that their national economies aren’t centred on a small handful of success stories. If there were twenty good cities in Canada, Toronto would be growing by 30K a year instead of 300K a year (pre-COVID).
This is probably not what they say, but the unambiguous expansion of the term would be “Don’t put employee computers on internal networks and don’t rely on network topology for authentication.”

Seems that the "West", spearheaded by the US, has the most experienced military in the world at the moment. 20 years of counter insurgency warfare and some more conventional wars before that seriously helped a lot. Just how much is at display in Ukraine, first by the, so far, Russian failures and second by the preparation and performance of the Ukrainians, which where supported, cinsulted and equiped by NATO for years by now.
I like how they optimize for layer reuse, but at the same time, nix doesn't really fit docker layer caching because it's better. With a unique prefix per package, you don't need stacking of layers. You can just download a bunch of packages in parallel, extract them in parallel, and finally "merge" the prefixes to get those combined bin/ and lib/ dirs.
