My parents bought our first house in 1979 and they said the interest rate was 12%

I bought my house in 2002 and had a 6.5% interest rate. That was the lowest rates had ever been at least going back to 1970. A year later I refinanced down to 5.5% and then in 2010 down to 3% before paying it off a few years later.

So yeah 5.78% is higher than the rates of the last 15 years but historically it is still quite low.
I could be wrong but using JSON as format for name is not a solution, its abstraction over possible solution.
Suppose we store all names as JSON structure. Question - how people will create such structure from their names? Using form with dozens of fields and checkboxes? Second question: how we will display this structure? We have to find a way to convert this JSON into string to show name. And as result we will surely need function to convert this shown strings into JSON for sure. And how we can solve issue when some names could be presented as a bit different JSON structures? And how we can validate that these slightly different JSON structures are equal?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) - "Wine (formerly a recursive backronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator, now just "Wine")" - depends on how technical you want to get about it, does emulation just mean translating one machine code into another, or can you "emulate library calls"?

Official documentation can be a great source, but in things like ssh-keygen there are often just way too many options and so people want "just tell me how to do what I want to do". One of the reasons sane defaults are so important.

It was on Reddit, was not it? I got banned from a sub just because of having opinion that contradicted OP, when I asked which rule did I broke, My account was suspended on whole Reddit... I have been member since Digg exodus and never had any problem till that day.

Unfortunately Reddit is ruled by moronic mods who can perma-ban your account, and admins can't be bothered. If your opinion is not in line, your IP is going to get blacklisted, so either you are extremely left wing, or you are out.

and it is sad, because I really liked the forums, discussions and occasional memes here and there, now they are just pushing ideas that can't be discussed, which is propaganda.

> Seems like a separate issue of your neighbor not being very considerate and dumping (illegally?).

Refuse externalities are a systemic issue for food trucks. They were the #1 reason for complaints about food trucks in my city. There are news articles about beach towns banning food trucks and an article about Portland considering a ban in certain areas because of trash issues. This case was egregious but the problem is not uncommon.

> The thing is, red tape shouldn’t be there to enforce compliance. He could have done that even if he’d paid the fees, which maybe he did?

He went on to dump in city trash cans (illegally), was fined, then arranged for a dumpster. He claims, and I believe this is true, that he didn't know either residential or city trash was off-limits. (I believe it is true because getting away with illegal dumping when done intentionally is super easy... you only get caught when you do it in broad daylight in front of a cop because you don't know it's not allowed.)

Given that issues with trash from food trucks are predictable and known, simply asking for proof that the food truck owner has access to a dumpster or other waste management option seems pretty reasonable. If the food truck owner has a proper waste management plan then describing it should take a few minutes max ("I am paying XYZ to use the dumpster located behind 123 Main St."). If they don't have a plan then this is a net positive for them because they'd almost certainly otherwise end up with either fines or a revoked license.

Even assuming a 1/200 success rate at reducing illegal dumping, requiring a waste management plan would cost 20 hours (amortized over hundreds of people) and save 40 hours (amortized over 1 person). The actual savings are probably much higher because 1/200 is unrealistically low -- I'm willing to bet most illegal dumping of food truck waste is not intentionally illegal.

Why is it incumbent on the rest of society to subsidize food truck owners at the tune of 2x time?
A simpler explanation than some of the below: imagine a damaged CD (or floppy) where one of the “blocks” returned inconsistent data.

for x = 1 to 10:
total += (read $DAMAGED_BLOCK) mod 2
assert total > 2 and total < 8

Basically you’d need extra metadata to go along with your block-copy and a custom driver to know which blocks should return inconsistent data.

Plain English explanation of the above code would be read a sector multiple times, make sure it is never always just even or just odd, but instead varies.

Usually perfection in digital media is what you strive for, but strategically introducing imperfections has a long history in authenticating “genuine” products.

Who are the predominant users of LinkedIn then? Marketing mostly, or is it recruiters? Startup founders? How do you measure "activity" in this scenario - is it public postings or are we including the private messages that people send about jobs?

I see a lot of useless posts end up on my feed - self congratulations and a lot of what equates to a press release for some product - but those have to target a user base of some kind that isn't there to just do that or it ends up being bots talking to bots (effectively), which is arguably bad for the company (e.g. bad for their valuation).

Seems like the largest userbase are mid-career white collar workers, even if they don't make up the majority (or even a plurality) of the public posts/interactions happening.

Similar to a gacha mobile game you need some minimum amount of userbase to create the environment where "whales" will be encouraged to engage with their money - in this case that's advertising revenue through sponsored posts and premium accounts.

Oh right, I didn't mean this as an offer of employment but I see now that it sounds like that.

How about, connect it to vacation destinations? If people like the smell of the air at the moment, and could connect that with where the air mass originated, and if you put ads for vacation destinations matched to results pages, that sounds like a plausible business.

I’m gonna go even further and say that using statistics and quantifying any of this is a futile effort. There are too many variables and noise-factors to make any sense in statistics.

When I lived in Germany, I used a local (private) practice for my immediate needs. This was covered by my statutory (yet still private) insurance from a Krankenkasse. I usually could get a next week appointment or wait in the queue 2-3h and see my doctor on the same day. You can go for commercial insurance (which they actually call private) and cut these times.

Now, living in England and using the (fully public) NHS, I can't even get a GP appointment in the next 4 weeks. And the surgery mostly gives you only telephone appointment.
And no, you cannot just walk in and wait to see a doctor. Appointments only. This is not even only my surgery's problem.

The waiting time for specialist doctors are even more ridiculous.

I'm not sure what the problem to be solved here is. It doesn't seem reasonable to force YouTube (or any other free video host) to indefinitely store and host content.

If you want something to stay around on the internet it has to take up space on somebody's drive and bandwidth on somebody's network connection - and for sufficiently large content like video you're going to have to do that yourself or convince/pay someone you trust to do so on your behalf.
Agreed, I was specifically talking about the desire for them to compose. I am familiar with legos absolute requirement on tolerances... which achieves what you mention.

But if I am going to buy all three of my daughters lego (which I have) knowing that they will not hold on to them for "decades" -- I'd rather they have a blast when they are a kid, and then move on to whatever, and the blocks can go into the ground without worry.

Yes, I am familiar with block exchanges etc... I have no desire to manage the post-market-post-play relationship I have with LEGO.

No, that's not how it works. You oversample a group you are interested in and then weight it.

To be honest, you don't know enough about statistics to evaluate this. You should either learn more or accept the conclusions of those who know more.
Yes, they have to do this. The cost of a few bad drug approvals that cause large-scale loss of confidence in the pharma industry would be devastating- including consequential effects on good medications.
Avid is not exactly transparent and it's extremely difficult to see what their long-term plans are. We can only speculate. The most convincing theory I've heard regarding Apple Silicon is that they may need a new hardware interface to work with Macs that lack expansion slots. Developing hardware is of course a much slower process than developing software, and it may take them several more years to get such a product out the door. In the meantime, Pro Tools has limited usefulness on machines that can’t talk to the hardware it’s designed to drive, so why bother releasing a port?

>Why do you believe that victims should be punished?

I don't believe victims should be punished. I just don't think victims should be rewarded either. I do think that the perpetrators should be punished.

>Wouldn't it be more compassionate to recover their losses

It would be "compassionate", but it would also encourage people to make risky and stupid decisions. Tough love I suppose.

>Trust shouldn't be seen as a weakness. Trust powers all the best things humans can do. Trust should be rewarded, not punished.

There is a difference between knowledge, trust, and blind faith. Your inability to discriminate between the three is what allows you to mix these unrelated platitudes.
I think the biggest obstacle is probably that flagging it requires asking for information on it. There's a lot of icky history about quotas to prevent there being "too many" Jews in a particular organization, for example. If you ask what a prospective hire's religion/congregation/parish/etc. is, you may say it's to prevent a conflict of interest, but it looks bad, and probably invites as much legal trouble as not monitoring it, if not more.
Yup, for as long as cops have a license to kill as long as they remember to say "I was a scared little baby, the bad man was very scawy" the training just doesn't matter. They'll just keep killing until they face consequences.
I might have to make clean with CMake after a distro compiler upgrade where the compiler is behind the same symlink or something, dunno, I don't really remember doing that. Otherwise, no make clean because I understand how CMake works. Really, I do. Including with generated code and all that. Wildcards in CMakeLists.txt are misuse.

System libraries are intentionally disregarded as possibly changed dependencies, that is a design decision that most build systems make. System libraries are not supposed to change in binary incompatible ways without a major version upgrade.

For some reason, many people believe it means something like "virtual machine", to the extent that the Wine project needed to rename to avoid being understood as a virtual machine, which is was associated with really bad performance back then.

> just tell me how to do what I want to do

I think this attitude is part of the problem. Like, when you try to weld you need to know about many details like preventing heat-corrosion and inclusions, otherwise your seam is going to be unacceptably bad. Welders do have training for that reason, but yet we dont apply the same standards to computing.

> Playing multiple (windowed) videos is one thing, but having 30 of them overlap full screen is quite another.

Behavior can be duplicated on any modern computer, i.e. you can have as many overlapping fullscreen windows as memory will tolerate, probably thousands and much more than that. Why would anyone want to do that? To cry "bug," I imagine.

It may not be intentional design, but my point is that this is not a bug, by the definition of what a bug is. There is no actual error here. The code is operating as expected. There may be issues with the interface design, but there also very well may not be.

I suspect the free tier falls (at least in some sense) under "marketing" rather than being expected to return a direct profit. It's enough to be useful, but (I assume) little enough that enough people subscribe.

Sure, the "nice" way of doing it is to rely on the raster interrupt. But I've also seen way too much C64 code where pretty much everything ran in the interrupt handler, with associated stupid busy waiting because it saved people from having to synchronise. I'd guess more commonly for cheap and cheerful ports from less capable machines, but it's been a couple of decades since I've actually looked at any of this code.

I am not a lawyer, but don't you have to prove that you actually incurred those damages? Was this dude long $100 billion on Doge?
So for context, I used to work on this professionally. I still keep up with the literature to a reasonable degree.

The major new tool we have is ancient DNA and the results we've gotten from it broadly rule out most of the 'expected' ways we'd see an advanced, ancient society.

As for that default, most archaeologists would not agree with what you've described. Everyone can point to cultures like the natufians as pre-YD societies that weren't fully nomadic and you can trace that stuff to through the Holocene and later 'civilizations' like Egypt and mesopotamia. Most archaeologists are also open to the idea that there was a tremendous amount of social and political diversity in the late pleistocene that isn't fully apparent in the material record, but this is more of a widespread hunch that doesn't yet have enough evidence to be called consensus.

Those can be even worse, because the publishing company is also not an expert and just wants to get a book out the door.

e.g.: https://wozniak.ca/blog/2018/06/25/1/index.html

In this it is a writer who is arguably knowledgeable in one programming language (BASIC) writing a book about another (C) and getting fundamental things wrong. Being a domain expert in one even relatively close area doesn't mean it automatically applies in another.
In absolute terms, Emacs is more popular than ever. There are folks like Sacha Chua and Prot evangelizing it, and an active community on /r/emacs, the Emacs Wiki, and elsewhere. Not to mention the development and maintenance being done by people hacking on Emacs itself.

This is all about relative popularity, i.e., market share. Microsoft came and ate everyone's lunch in the editor space just like they did in the browser and OS spaces, and now people are assmad. Now the same sort of person who once wanted to turn Linux into a shitty version of Windows (and largely succeeded with GNOME), wants to turn Emacs into a shitty version of Visual Studio Code.
You're talking about design choices, not errors or software bugs. You have a design preference that more than one fullscreen video should not be permitted. But this is entirely an arbitrary preference. There is absolutely nothing inherently wrong (ethically or design-wise) with multiple overlapping fullscreen videos, though the OP is describing a very particular case that is strange, which is having multiple instances of the same video playing fullscreen. It's still not a bug. This is interface design.
illegal for hospitals to expose/sell this information. not illegal for FB to receive it. the moment hospitals/providers start selling it there will be some business out there trying to aggregate and data mine it. be it FB or google or amazon, the key thing is hospitals are break the law by exposing it even if they do it for some really silly instrumentation benefits.
What quantum information and snowflakes have in common, and what we can do
Right, but the carbon in food comes from plants (or, comes from things that got their carbon from plants) which got their carbon out of the atmosphere from recent photosynthesis. It's carbon that's already part of the carbon cycle, which is a dynamic but overall steady-state system.

Emitting carbon which recently came from the atmosphere back into the atmosphere is not a problem. Emitting carbon which has been safely stored in rocks for tens (or hundreds) of millions of years is the problem. That's the carbon that's caused the increase in CO2 from 280ppm 200 years ago, to 420ppm today, which is the driver of climate change. Nothing to do with food waste.
No need, it can easily happen during the scan. As long as the scan and update memory location never meet, there's absolutely no problem.
