At least for this current apartment, my last name has already been on a sticky-note attached to the door since I moved in. Guessing the friendly mailman did it. Yet that hasn't stopped the deluge of junk not addressed to me finding its way there (I don't blame the mailman, he's a really cool guy and probably just can't do much about it).
Is that an assumption or are you speaking from experience?
I get that especially here people would love to think that "factory methods in construction" are wonderful, but the reality is that it is way more "human soul crushing communist block building" and far less utopian wonderland.
> I Rented an Electric Car for a Four-Day Road Trip. I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping.

Rather than trying to plan their own route they should have just used A Better Routeplanner for their route and charging strategy:

https://abetterrouteplanner.com

New Orleans to Chicago is possible in a Kia EV6 AWD Long Range with only 1 hour 34 minutes of charging. Even if charging went slow and it ballooned out to 7 hours that's still much better than what they did.

> He suspects our car is the less-expensive EV6 model with a range not of 310 miles, as listed on Turo, but 250. He says he can’t be sure what model we were driving without physically inspecting the car.

Yes, you need to know what car you're driving and what it will do. EV infrastructure isn't as good as ICE infrastructure yet. You need to know what you're about before you start.

A couple things to try to contextualize this claim:

1. Institutional investors are purchasing single-family homes at a greater rate than they used to, but they account for a minority of all purchases: "During the first three months of this [2021], investors bought nearly 15% of U.S. homes, up from about 10% during the previous three quarters."

2. Their overall share of the market remains small: "Yet of the roughly 15 million single-family rental homes in the U.S., institutional investors own only about 2%, according to real estate consulting firm RCLCO."

> Try making a traditional tomato sauce using canned tomatoes and follow the recipe exactly... then compare that to Prego or Ragu. The store brands taste like a freaking dessert topping comparatively.

Five years ago I made the decision to eat lower carb, I didn’t want to give up tomato sauce dishes entirely and found most of the canned tomato products still too high in sugar. Moved to just buying decent ripe Roma/plum tomatoes (they tend to be the lowest in natural sugar content), slice them in half and roast them with a head of garlic, stick blend them and simmer with a little chicken broth and white wine, fresh garlic, basil, bay leaf…and you have a really tasty lower carb tomato sauce.

Anytime I taste any jar sauce, it’s now inedible. Just like you said…it tastes more like a jam to me now…way too sweet.
I totally agree that having visual diagrams of a code base can be super helpful, especially when getting familiar with the code, or onboarding a new engineer. However I don't think we see automated tools because generating a useful diagram from source code is not a solved problem.

Fundamentally I think that the useful kind of software or system diagrams are always abstractions of the actual code. Figuring out the correct abstraction for the intended purpose requires either experience or a lot of trial and error. It may be possible for very specific applications, but I kind of doubt there is an algorithm to generate the content for a useful system diagram from the raw code.

Then there is the problem of rendering and layout out the diagram automatically. We have Graphviz and Mermaid, and probably others I haven't heard of, and while these do an okay job, I've never found their layout algorithms to be particularly great.

Overall, I don't think anything is going to be as useful as a manually drawn diagram, made with a specific intent in mind.

Did you remember goebbels stanzas about "if someone speak of culture I took my gun"? Well, goebbels was actually very close to Eduard Bernays in reasoning terms, an line-of-thoughts Bernays ancestor was also Gustave Le Bon, his best-seller was "Psychologies of crowds" witch happen to be the favorite book of mussolini, hitler, lenin and probably franco. I'm pretty sure in the past similar line-of-thoughts have existed as well, even ancient Greek's have had the concept of "useful idiot", someone knowledgeable enough to be useful, but dumb enough to be just a human-robot.

And that's not a far-right peculiarity a (Delano) Roosevelt far less know nowadays cousin Clinton Roosevelt have envisaged the ideal socialist society in the 1841's "The Science of Government Founded on Natural Law" stating that a socialist society is not at all a Democracy, appear to be, but in reality is a society driven by a small élite of unknown to the masses thinkers who really decide anything while others simply obey convinced by propaganda/ideology. Oh, yes, I've write before far right because actually to my eyes Chines Communist Party is leftists as mussolini's National Fascist Party, they born out of the same model, witch happen to be the UK merchants model. Yes, really. Of course both regimes was/are adapted and blended, but the original line of though was that.

I suspect he ran into the infamous '90%' problem: he did the first two and the final end-stage and wrote it down nicely, which took 90% of the time & energy he had, then looked at the difference between the last two and realized that it'd need another like 5 images+explanations and that would take the next 90% of the time... which wasn't going to happen, so he posted it as-is FWIW.

It's not an all or nothing thing. You can cap some fines and not others obviously. Fining someone $573,000 for having vehicles in his back yard and working on them is ludicrous and absolutely makes the government look like either a bully, out of touch with reality, incompetent, or all of the above.

Governments will contact you primarily via the USPS. The IRS, the local court, etc. Also, it's a viable method of serving a suit. If you could opt out of USPS delivery you lose a pretty secure and reliable channel of official communication.

It would be nice to opt out of all bulk mail and non-first-class mail, etc though.

For almost all the uses you've listed, I can readily think of examples where I've seen it done badly. Thinking of good examples is considerably harder. Can you provide some?

In my experience, deferred loading merely guarantees that there's visible latency multiple times when interacting with a page even after it has "finished" loading. And since lazy image loading can now be accomplished without JavaScript, I'm not sure what still needs to be lazily loaded via scripts watching scroll behavior.

Removing elements after you scroll past them sounds like the kind of optimization only necessary on infinite scroll pages, unless the page in question has a multitude of auto-playing videos.

Restoring scroll position between interactions: I'm not sure what kind of interactions make this necessary, so an example would help.

Scroll-snap: The examples on MDN don't even behave properly.

Offsetting jump in-page anchor/jump links: Stop obscuring 20+ % of the vertical space with "position:fixed" dickbars. Then you have a much smaller problem which I'm not sure requires JS scrollhacking to solve.

I'm not sure scroll hijacking is completely bad, but it's overwhelmingly more bad than good. Breaking fundamental interaction mechanisms should only be done where it's absolutely necessary, or in a context where all the normal expectations for interaction can be abandoned. These capabilities go beyond merely "ripe for abuse" and are perhaps better described as UX footguns that are mysteriously attractive to web designers.
The opinion is very clearly written and lays out why bees can be protected under the law in question. This is a passage from the supporting evidence section:

"""In 1969, the Legislature amended section 45 via Senate Bill No. 858 (1969 Reg. Sess.) (Senate Bill 858) to add invertebrates and amphibia to the definition of fish. (Stats. 1969, ch. 689, § 1.) Section 45 has been amended only once since 1969 -- in 2015 (effective January 1, 2016), when the Legislature made nonsubstantive stylistic changes, modifying the definition to read “ ‘[f]ish’ means a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.” """

> Telling everyone where I live just to receive mail sounds insane in XXI.

This is what I thought too. That, coupled with snow plows repeatedly taking out my mailbox in the winter, and the fact that most junk mail doesn't get delivered to non-residential addresses and I decided to just take down my mailbox and receive all my mail at my work address.

I've been doing this for about ten years now, and it works pretty well. There are some unintended consequences though as many places just assume you have residential mail delivery. The first thing that happened was that six months or so into it, the USPS told HUD that my house was vacant. This led HUD to tell my insurance company. My insurance company freaked out and called me in a panic, but I was able to explain it to them and they made a note. The other biggest issue is that I constantly have companies ignore my 'mail to' address and send mail to my residential address, then get all uppity when it bounces. When I tell individuals that they have to send mail to my work because I don't have a mailbox, they often look at me like I'm Ted Kaczynski. I also can have trouble proving residency to places that want a piece of mail showing my address. The poor credit agencies get all confused, as they can't tell what the heck is going on, and seemingly randomly show my residential address as either of the two addresses. The latest issue was the federal 'every household in America can get free covid tests' program. Well, no. It's actually 'every household with a residential mailbox'.

But I definitely don't get much in the way of junk mail...
Any piece of mail marked "Current Resident" gets deposited directly to the trash, so if it doesn't specifically have my name on it, don't waste energy bringing it to me.

At least the marketplace of ideas types tend to want to control the narrative by having the most compelling arguments, while the CCP (and other authoritarians) are clearly above such nonsense.

I was surprised at the timescale, was expecting thousands of years.
They definitely X-ray parcels, for security. Shortly after 9/11, I remember a local post office failing to detect explosives and it getting reported on; this was notable for two reasons:

- one of the hijackers had received a knife through the mail, and it had been processed through that office, so there was extra scrutiny at the time

- a few years prior, that office processed and delivered a package the Unabomber sent that killed someone

The setup sounds great! I assume that you flipped to a C-Corp? Are most of the founders in the US or are you living abroad? How long did it take to flip the UK LTD? Do you force your contractors to set up companies or is it up to them?

At least if the contractors are in Germany and are working full-time for you then I think they would get issues with “Scheinselbständigkeit” if they don’t have a company, that’s why I am asking.
It's all about advertising revenues.

Advertising was invented for classified ad buyers by newspapers. It has since adapted to each new medium that came along, radio, TV, signboards, etc and now all manner of internet properties.

With technical searches, carefully crafted search terms can locate useful information. However, I find that once I venture into more general realms, the majority of the results, no matter how detailed the search terms, are ads or content with masses of affiliate links, etc. That is, very low grade ore (information), effectively useless for knowledge building purposes.

This is just a poorly reasoned decision. The statutory definition of “fish” is as follows:

> ‘[f]ish’ means a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.” (Stats. 2015, ch. 154, § 5.)

Ordinarily, you read statutory terms in a list in the context, including in the context of the other terms. See: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/ejusdem_generis

> Ejusdem generis (ee-joose-dem gen-ris) is a Latin phrase that means “of the same kind.” The statutory and constitutional construction principle of “ejusdem generis” states that where general words or phrases follow a number of specific words or phrases, the general words are specifically construed as limited and apply only to persons or things of the same kind or class as those expressly mentioned. For example, if a law refers to automobiles, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, and other motor-powered vehicles, a court might use ejusdem generis to hold that such vehicles would not include airplanes, because the list included only land-based transportation.

While “invertebrate” can be a more general term, in the surrounding context it’s clearly meant to refer to marine invertebrates, not invertebrates in general.

There are lots of pay-walled sites, that serve up information of dubious quality and provenance. Which in turn makes it a crap shoot when it comes to sites that appear to have useful information and ask for payment.
