>The housing in UK is in crisis because there have not been enough homes built.
>So is it a problem that they aren't building more or not? If we agree that more housing needs to be built, then the proper incentives must be in place. And a proper incentive may actually be as simple as eliminating a disincentive (e.g. 4 years of environmental review prior to the project's approval).

And this is a part of why it should be administered by governments and not just let loose to market forces. Homes can't just be built wherever, whenever. It should be meticulously planned and integrated with various public services. There's no real financial incentive to build 100,000 houses in the middle of nowhere, it needs to have schools, hospitals, infrastructure etc. A property developer would rather squash a bunch of apartments or buy some old stock, refit everything and charge a premium.

>It's great until it isn't. Interest rates are rising, and mortgages in the UK are much shorter term than in the US.

They actually suggested recently to offer multi-generational mortgages... That's how crazy the market is getting.

>These are risks that the landlord assumes for me.

Those are risks your landlord should have insurance for. In a world where property isn't such a commodity, those risks don't really have the same meaning or value.

We've largely left house building to the 'market forces' and it is failing us, that is the reality. What happened to the second largest construction firm in the UK? "The largest ever trading liquidation in the UK – which began in January 2018" - Carillion collapsed with £7 billion in liabilities.

"One of the UK's biggest landlords, owns over 1,000 properties, tried to ban 'coloured' people from renting because of the curry smell" - What happens to people that are 'undesirable' to landlords, they need a home too or should they simply be destitute or constantly bounced around the lowest standard of housing stock available?

Rent caps are probably not effective or radical enough to actually solve this crisis. I think if we really want to do something, it's going to hurt a lot of peoples 'net worth'.

So, if a used car dealer convinced me that my car isn’t worth much, and gets me to sell it to him for cheap, and then resells it for twice what he paid, I can then sue him for defrauding me? Or does it only work if he sells it to the National Gallery? Or does it only work that way if you’re a multimillionaire and politically connected? Trying to understand why this is any different, and why the elites are protected but I’m getting offered $500 for my BMW, and it’s ok.
I wish I had a system like that and have thought about it a lot. I live in Calgary and today will be 28C and it will go down to 12C at night. I wish my system could just run a fan at 7am and draw in a ton of cool air to cool the house. Instead my AC runs for 30 minutes or whatever. Seems like a waste.
Parties are supposed to be fun, so if someone offers to pay you to come to a party, that sends a signal that the party is not, in fact, going to be fun at all--otherwise, why would they pay you?

On the other hand, paper straws are a shitty product that are unsuitable for use, but if I was offered a significant discount on beverages that were served with them...well, I wouldn't take it, but I could imagine someone who was desperately broke considering taking it.
I feel this very very very much, I wish we could talk in person, I am tortured every day by this exact problem. I am very jealous of people who are "that rational" "are able to adopt that perspective".

To my point, people don't do this even though everyone knows it, and its obvious, because....:(
No, it’s not a trade off because the 2 concepts are not mutually exclusive. Through innovation they can be greater than the sum of their parts.

Sure, in lazy/bad games there’s trade off, but that goes for anything. Bad games have existed for a long time for more than just money
I am doubtful that even WG21 as originally constituted would have accepted I/O Streams with its "Look at me, I've got operator overloading" operator abuse if it wasn't Stroustrup's own code. If some outsider had come along and said "Look at this slower, clumsier, operator abusing alternative to C's stdio" the committee might have quoted Stroustrups' own words condemning such abuse. "the ability to define new meanings for old operators can be used to write programs that are well nigh incomprehensible".

I'm with you up to a point on overloading, if it were up to me for example Rust would not implement Add and AddAssign on String, and certainly Java wouldn't special case += but we are where we are.

However Rust has several operators (fewer than C++ but still several) that aren't just for arithmetic types. Deref and DerefMut of course (used to implement smart pointers such as Arc), Index and IndexMut (for the indexing operator []) but also Try (implementation of the ? operator) and (though rather more distant into your future than Try if you write Stable Rust) the Function operator traits Fn, FnMut and FnOnce which represent callables.

Of course arguably Rust isn't overloading operators at all. Rust has no subtyping, and so whether you can Add or Multiply or Try something is a matter only of whether that type implements the associated Trait.
Me. Every single worry or concern is made in the mind. Continually grasping this and putting into practice every week.
> Compare how OpenBSD is actually disallowing syscalls outside of their libc.

And Cosmopolitan Libc actually disallows syscalls to the OpenBSD Libc whilst running on OpenBSD. If this surprises you then you've misunderstood the intent behind msyscall(), which Cosmopolitan's pledge() implements on Linux too. See the "Syscall Origin Verification" section of the blog post https://justine.lol/pledge/#msyscall The basic idea is you can choose whatever set of system call wrappers you want, put them into one memory location, and then the kernel will check the RIP register to make sure that SYSCALL is only being used from those addresses. Their choice to start doing this is kind of funny because it turns C libraries into a game of Highlander. There can be only one.

It depends on the company size. If it’s a large company, I expect rigid and well-defined salary bands, so it would be nice if they’re published. For a smaller company, I don’t expect salary bands, and I treat the relationship more like a contractual one.

Any contract price is negotiable by definition (“meeting of minds”), and whether or not the job description provides an initial anchor price does not change that. So if it’s negotiable either way, then IMO it actually seems unfair for the company to name the salary because it means they’re providing the initial anchor.

It also depends on me. If I’m the head of a machine learning lab at Stanford, the salary is negotiable at the big company too.

So all in all, I’d say I expect companies to publish a range of salary, or at least include some indication they’re serious. If I see them in TechCrunch I know they have enough to pay me, and if I’m worried about their runway then maybe I should work at a big company with rigid salary bands.
> Is this actually true?

I'd say that yes, at least in the last 5 or so years.

I decided to make a scene which would contain a single copy of every single model that I'd like to use in a project of mine, for checking the textures, how lighting works, the scale of everything etc.

By the time I got to around 200 different objects (no high poly ones, by the way), it took like a minute to just open that scene.
According to the article, you'd still need to document the technical process you use to ban the IPs, and also the business processes you haven in place to govern the technical process. That all has to be sent in to the British government with a filing fee, and it's unclear whether even that is enough to appease their regulators or not.
Hey there, great app.

By way of feedback:

* The play icon with the strike through is not meaningful to me. I recommend a popover on hover to explain what this means. You probably thought about a log of different icons but might be worth polling for a few or letting the user pick one of a few a preference (At first I thought it "wasn't working")

* It would be nice to be able to add meta to the session, i.e. "1:1 with joseph" that automatically gets timestamped for start and end. Then be able to show the graphs from a day of meetings stacked.

* Analysis would be good. Being able to say how many others are in the meeting so it makes more sense when there are longer gaps.

* Someone mentioned additional recommendations, that would be awesome if it had a guidance mode where I could fit a template over this thing and have it help keep the meeting on track. 5 mins introductions / waiting for quorum, 5 mins agenda, 10 mins topic 1 etc.

I realize the idea for this is to be a simple private app and its great at that. If necessary, I'd suggest offering something more complex that might require greater buy in privacy wise so it can do more.

I'd still recommend requiring zero network requests as you've done on this version, even though the analytics might be useful.

I use an network filter and manually allow connections from apps.

Starting with this high level of privacy is how you get someone like me to be comfortable allowing your app to run on my machine.

Totally. I am currently experimenting with TLUDs for waste products from some forest land I own. I didn't realize they were also attempting to capture the gases from pyrolization rather than using them to continue the pyrolysis.

In that case, you are totally correct, they'll need an input heat source.
Neither does it his. It is a problem for some areas to the point it will completely erode the empathy of people who have to live with it. Their stake is not an internet argument, but a daily reality to deal with.

You can then argue that it's caused by mental illness and we should be empathetic, but I've talked to multiple people who actually worked in psych wards, my mother being one of them. They know they need to take care of them and be empathetic, but boy don't they all have stories to tell that has caused them to dehumanize them to some extent, or suffer burnout as the alternative.

Don't just empathize with the mentally ill, but also the others you so easily burden with doing the actual work.

It wouldn't be if real-world SSD usage is already slower than this bottleneck in actual practice.

That's my question, if this will turn out to be a bottleneck at all in real-world usage.

(And swapping is no different from copying files, so that detail wouldn't matter.)
If you're the 1 in 10 or 12 without a job, it's obviously personally impactful and stressful to you.

It's also worth bearing in mind that when unemployment is high, there are many companies that stop or slow hiring, sticking with current staff. Many fewer are hiring at all. If there is 10% unemployment, you'd expect the number of available jobs to shrink by much more than 10% vs full employment. Losing your job compounds because finding a new one at all or at least a new one that pays the same can be harder.

This is definitively false and anyone can look at the foundation’s governance and legal and financial structure to see this.
I wish both Rocky and Alma well, as having multiple projects active keeps everyone on their toes.

Glad to see this release from Rocky!
A single job might cover vastly different responsibility depending on skill or experience. It's unreasonable to expect every job to fall into a nice narrow description. For most of my career I've been something like "software engineer", as have people with much more or less experience than me.
That would be noticeable via webcam.
Itt was practically all house money. People who bought ETH for under $10 or made 30-100x returns in crypto using their gains to flip jpegs. They managed to lure in a few suckers from retail but most of it was just money rotation between existing players.

Any retail-focused play failed hard - like the Coinbase NFT marketplace.
Ignorance can be recognized and some opinions are correct.

The bastard postmodernism that ignorance deserves respect and every opinion is equal is a form of epistemological nihilism.

I'm not saying that I don't like the concept... if that's what the car manufacturer thinks will get them a better profit it's up to them.

I don't see the false equivalency however. Heated seats are technically an extra physical item just like many other features of the car. Some people don't need them, nor air conditioners, nor radios.

Some people may just want a frame, engine and body.

It seems the manufacturer, in this case, has simply chosen to ignore the wishes of those consumers. After all, BMW is known to be a luxury car brand and usually won't target value conscious consumers.

Reminds me of Lee Iacocca's funny, paradoxical quote... "People want economy and they will pay any price to get it". Including fooling themselves into thinking heating elements weigh nothing. Marketing departments will run with this and spin anything they can into extra profit; good on them!

If you want, be my guest and buy the option to rent heated seats from BMW :-)
Have you lived in Sydney? I spent a day there recently and I loved it, but I got the sense that things tend to wind down in the evening (at least around Surry Hills where I was staying). Curious if I got the wrong impression: my recollection of NYC is that there's something going on at pretty much any hour, day or night.

SSID history and photo metadata are also spoofable.

At some point, only the spoofers will pass all the anti-spam gates, or you'll end up letting many of their reviews past in order to avoid blocking real users. At that point, it's starting to look like the wikipedia "be sure to read the chat page for this article if you actually care about this topic" problem.
The absolute numbers aren't that different. You need 100s of MB just to display an empty Chrome window. Then the 66% is the difference excluding that baseline, e.g. it might be 300MB to load Chrome, then you measure 301MB vs 301.66MB. I guess that might be a bit misleading.

I think the electron memory usage comes down to the massive HTML spec and bloated old browser codebases. It's not JS. Node+V8 doesn't have nearly the memory usage of Chrome+V8.
I'm a PhD student in physics and I am really, really optimistic about how the field will be developing going forward.

People are well aware of the glamorous fields of physics: cosmology and particle physics. These are the disciplines that concern the frontiers of the very large and the very small respectively.
I don't care so much about those. The frontier that I'm most interested in is the most abstract one: complexity. Physics has traditionally tackled problems that were either simple or could be made simple. Progress was made after the 1980s with the rise of solid state physics and associated attitudes towards emergence, but now? With the advent of statistical learning, advances in nonlinear dynamics and so on? Physicists are starting to tackle some insanely complex systems. Not to mention of course that computers are getting more powerful with time as per Moore's law, so simulations are really coming into their own as useful scientific approaches. Imagine the computational physicist of the 2050s, imagine the tools that she might have at hand to solve problems like the physics of life, or perhaps the phase diagrams of extremely heterogenous materials, or so on...

I can't help but be extremely excited! Here's to hoping that humanity makes it that far. :)
Whole house fans are really great.

It’s cheating, a bit, to live in a place that drops 20-40 F at night … but even if we didn’t, the ability to turn every open window into an air conditioner is a great trick.
Former consultant here: There are a lot of entities out there that aren't really a good fit for Red Hat's service offerings, but who may still need the system. As others have said, Red Hat is a great provider if you may need support from someone deep in the bowels of the exact code you're having a problem with.

Having consultants out there using CentOS/Rocky/whatever gets these "not a good fit" customers burden off Red Hat, which is probably an advantage to them. I operated what amounts to a "phone a Linux friend" service for ~18 years, and that sort of help just doesn't really fit into Red Hat's offering.

It's nice in many ways to be able to disconnect from the licensing model and just be able to deploy Linux boxes, but still get help when you need it. I recall one conversation about Red Hat licensing related to a machine I was installing for a client named "The Fedora Project" that went like this:

"I assume you'd like me to put Red Hat on there?" "Yes." "Can you provide me with a license key to use on it?" "Uhhh. Just go ahead and install CentOS".

People don't need to be scared they just need to do their homework.

In my opinion having more tables and more GSIs available won't help you very much if you started with flawed data model (unless you kept making the same design mistakes 256 times). A team that tries to claw back from a flawed table design by pilling up GSIs is just in for a world of pain.

So if you are planing to go with Dynamo:
- Read about the data modeling tecniques
- Figure out your access patterns
- Check if your application and model can withstand the eventual consistency of GSIs
- Have a plan to rework your data model if requirements change: Are you going to incrementally rewrite your table? Are you going to export it and bulk load a fixed data model? How much is that going to cost?
God, that's awful. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for you and especially the women involved.

It's horrible to think that my photos are being used for this and there's nothing I can do about it. Even if I cover myself legally, people are still going to be victimized. I hope I never have to involve the police.
From what I see, this was the maximally flame-y way to say what you said, and it's still inaccurate to call it "Not so kooky" as these commandments, while disagreeable to me, are not really that violent.

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.

It was also obvious from the second you started playing that you were expected to shell out lots of money to get any semblance of the "designed experience".

Also for some reason there were no poke stops or anything of note within many miles of my home. I live in a city of 60k people. But niantic originally populated their map based on the important locations in ingress, so if that game wasn't popular where you lived you basically got locked out of gameplay.
There's good and bad regulation. Bureaucracy in the wrong place is a pain, but without crucial regulations I feel that private capital would be even more ruthless and we'd be left with badly built homes, in badly planned communities, lacking services and infrastructure, without much care for the environmental impact..

It's really hard to see a way out of this for me without extreme interference by government..
The biggest whitepill I can offer is this: "if the situation was hopeless, all of their propaganda and censorship would be unnecessary"

To expand on this, it's the capitalization of every aspect of human existence. I simply want less capitalization in my life. There is essentially no way out - either I can submit to subscriptions or I can pay a premium to opt out. There are no alternatives. I don't want to go live in the woods. I just want to live without the constant barrage of the micro-threats disguised as micro-transactions. It has become all consuming.

I thought we would have some control over how the world turned out, but no, if there is an opportunity to extract money, I'll be forever at the losing end of that equation. I want to opt out in a system that provides no means to do so.

I wish there was a way to identify and protest the product managers in charge of making these decisions. Hell, I'd pay to subscribe to that service.
