I believe that housing is a basic human necessarily, and that accordingly all governments should bar foreign ownership of housing inventory as an investment vehicle (I do draw a distinction between housing that you personally live in, versus AirBnB or rental property owned as an investment). I believe that one of the leading factors driving the U.S. housing crisis is foreign and institutional accumulation of housing stock, as an alternate investment vehicle since bond yields have shrunk so low.

However, it's easy to lose people with the "neocolonialism" histrionics. Obviously, human migration has been flowing in the opposite direction over the U.S.-Mexican border for many decades. There are real impacts of this on the U.S. working class, and rising anger over this is the fuel driving the wave of populism that we see today.

If people can ignore those impacts of Mexico-to-U.S. migration (even regarding the affected class with distain)... while expressing outrage over the comparatively minor impacts (i.e. only in border town) of reverse migration... then I can understand why such a large swath of rural Americans have grown angry and disaffected and feel like they're in a war.
We need a billionaire to start funding boarding schools, where the kids and teachers can be isolated from the rest of the public.
Did running away from those you disagree with solve all your problems? What happens when you disagree with officials in your state? Run away again? Does everyone and everything have to acquiesce to your understanding of the world? Do you think moving to live amongst those you agree with, while casting those that live elsewhere as "others" is a trend that will work out well for society in the long-term?
Basically no lefties/urbanites would’ve made that argument before Tesla made EVs viable and attractive to normies. Back in the “Who Killed the Electric Car” days, it would’ve been extremely odd for people with environmental concerns to be like that.

EVs are a massive, massive improvement, and while I like improving stuff (or using alternatives) to reduce further downsides, I don’t think we should look a gift horse in the mouth, here.
Can you expand on your first trick? What is the problem being solved and what is a practical use case? I'm not sure I follow.

Well you don't need to go through the gate keeping mechanism, you can just publish a blog. The gate keeping mechanism is like a web of trust that retain only those that are considered valuable in the community, so researchers can have a bounded number of articles to read, at least this is what I think.

In my opinion, most of DoH's protocol problems (and implicated problems) have been solved by oblivious DoH.

We still need more ODoH proxies for me to completely trust the system, but any ISP could set those up if they wanted to. There's probably some information that can be extracted from the encrypted DoH request, but I don't think it's anywhere close to the problem DoH posed when it was first introduced (and more importantly, the problems caused by the way it was introduced in Firefox). I think the benefits massively outweigh the disadvantages.

Leveraging alternative protocols for DNS has always been an option and always will be. Apps and IoT have been doing this for years. Any application that cares about being blocked can trivially work around DNS problems with their own HTTPS-derived protocol and some do. What's left to block are the companies that won't deal with DoH problems anyway.

The control DNS interception provides is mostly an illusion. Kids at high school know how to bypass DNS blocks; application developers can be even harder to block. The only solution is to not run untrusted software in your network, or work with a traffic whitelist for hardware and software you can't control.
> When Webb's mission began, the affected C3 segment had a wavefront error of 56 nanometers rms (root mean square), which was in line with the 17 other mirror portions.

> Post-impact, however, the error increased to 258 nm rms, but realignments to the mirror segments as a whole reduced the overall impact to just 59 nm rms. For the time being, the team wrote Webb's alignment is well within performance limits, as the realigned mirror segments are "about 5-10 nm rms above the previous best wavefront error rms values."
Give me a brass band and I too can drown out a bunch of drunken Nazis.

Better would be for Victor to start singing himself and have the the crowd join him. Then, once the Nazis are already drowned out, have Rick tell the band to join -- best if because Sam gives him a you-know-what-to-do look.

Good scene but the trumpets vs voices thing has always struck me as a flaw.
You touch a number of very important points here. Thanks for that. We're aware of the fact, that the overall situation in many countries in the world is much, much worse. So it's kind of a luxury problem. What is actually a challenge, is that I work as a freelancer for 20 years now and still have to go a long way to secure my private pension. I once calculated my personal "real" tax rate in Germany, and ended up at around 71%. Especially due to the fact, that we both are in the highest income tax band but also due to the fact that there are taxes on close to everything. But since we're not really consume oriented, we're fine with lower income, IF we find a place, where life is just more relaxed. Thank you for your thoughts.
That's a good point, but actually not how I use the alert. I only use the alert so I can get deals for myself. It's usually clothing or home goods stores that show up on those alerts, and I have definitely got plenty of good stuff for super cheap, so it's of interest to me at least.
If some tricky manual process can't be automated, we can still write a script for it: just have it show prompts, like 'Toggle the widget, then press ENTER to continue'.

This way, we have a form of 'interactive documentation' telling what to do. We can even put branching (e.g. 'Did you get an 404 error? y/N'), and automate some of the in-between steps to make things less tedious.
Yes, that's what I'm referring to. You don't consider that severe damage to a mirror segment? It looks like somebody shot it with a gun. It's unable to get properly back into alignment over the full segment.

> that allows us to buy / rent a quality house (which is close to impossible in Berlin even making 200k/year [due to neck breaking tax and cost of living]).

This is more likely to be due to the tight situation on the housing market with several monopolists than to excessively high taxes.
Amusing. Second-hand experience[0] with "exciting science areas" led me to this belief already. It's one of those interesting things. For folks outside of science, they think most of this stuff is backed. You can see it in the fact that people will quote "there is evidence that X is Y" using some random study, commonly on HN.

There's a common reaction to this sort of thing where people act like it is some betrayal of a sacred pact, etc. etc. but there is so much fake science out there that it is really hard to believe that there is actually some betrayal and it's not just the reality of the field.

And always there'll be some guy who comes up with a "I've never heard of this and neither has any of the ten guys I talked to about it". Just do the math. At a 10% fake rate (which I would consider extraordinary) there's a 1 in 3 chance that you wouldn't detect it with just independent observations of you and 10 friends (and that's assuming you and your friends are independent here, which is very generous). At a 5% fake rate (which is still horrible), there's a 1 in 10 chance that even you and 40 of your friends would not detect it.

The thing with not-so-rare things is that you can fail to detect it through sheer chance.

I find this question to be quite flawed. We perpetually fail to consider that forming the grid is a real-time interconnected machine. There isn't really any excess energy, unless you are storing excess energy (e.g., in batteries, etc.). Otherwise, because we're working in power, you're just not generating what you're not using. That's the concept of spinning reserve, you're just not running full-tilt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_reserve

If we insist on answering the question as-is: if you have a big area with large potential to generate electricity, just build the power resource and connect it to the grid, and bid on the local real-time & futures power market in your interconnection region. If the numbers don't look good for you, maybe you can mine crypto, but in reality you'll actually get a better return on your investment by investing in energy storage and playing the market with your generated energy to shift its use to peak times on the grid.

This isn't the answer that people are suggesting, because it's not glamorous.

> there is no one reason why we dont have basements, but it is more likely to do with the fact that up north they have to dig deep (3-4 ft) for the frost line. If you are digging that deep anyway, you might as well go an additional 4-5 ft and build a basement.

In Minnesota, where I live, basements are definitely a byproduct of structural requirements. You have to dig 48 inches so that your foundation is under the frost line. But also consider that you don't want your front door to be at ground level, because then it might not open after a massive snowfall. So if you add up all that vertical space, you get about 7 feet, which is about the ceiling height of an unfinished basement.

I'm involved in many support forums.

A few patterns I've noticed.

The people who have been mostly managing their conditions via diet without understanding whats happening. Basically they eat healthy, and it mostly works.

People who love food / don't want to cook healthy and refuse to acknowledge the possibility that's causing problems.

People who say they eat healthy but really don't. (Salad once a week)
Or a variation, people who ate a salad, didn't get better and claim diets don't work).

The ones who are at deaths door and are finally desperate enough to try anything.

Actually following a strict diet like KETO / AIP. Paying close attention to trigger foods, etc. These ones often can reduce or eliminate medication.

Learning to be honest with yourself about food is one of the major challenges. Giving up various food addictions can be brutal.
yes, this scene always makes me cry. The number of people on the cast/crew who were refugees is also notable, I think it brought a certain focus to what they were trying to do.
It goes both ways. Americans complain about Mexicans moving into the US, Mexicans complain about Americans moving to Mexico.

IMO, the problems with restrictive boarders are so much worse.
I think it falls naturally out of trying to recommend greats to people—at some point you need an, "OK but if you are only going to watch one of these, it should be this one...."

Not objective, sure, and not authoritative. On a ranked list of, say, 500 great films, what's the difference between 100 and 101? Probably not much and the ordering of them's basically arbitrary... but if you're only going to watch 100 of those 500, it likely is a better idea to watch 1-100 than 401-500. Some truth does fall out of the rankings, especially if you factor in more than one person's opinions. Keep seeing the same few movies near the tops of lists, then they're probably damn good.
Appreciate the irony that the people in favor of taking no actions against covid because the probability of dying is so low are the same people in this thread crying over 1000 people worldwide.
They all have their own laptops and prefer to use them. We also don’t have enough money to provide a computer for everyone. But I mean the setup is just one part of the issue, as you note.

My point is not that overengineering doesn't exist. My point is that if Alice says Bob is overengineering and Bob says Alice is underengineering, you don't have any evidence either way. You need to loop more people in and let both Alice and Bob air their concerns.
One issue is that the current gatekeepers (peer reviewers for journals, grant proposal scoring committees, promotion committees, etc.) are often the people most prominent in their field. On one hand this makes sense for obvious reasons (an expert is the most equipped to judge their field), but on the other hand things like the amyloid hypothesis get 'baked-in' because, well, it's pretty hard to ask those same individuals to highly rank a large grant proposal that goes against their own theory.

So I think the answer is gatekeeping needs to be different -- not less.

In this age of politically-motivated scientific disinformation, the one thing we don't need is fraudulent science. We need to be able to trust which drugs and vaccines work, anc which don't. We need to be able to trust the predictions about global warning and the societal impact of it so we can chart the optimum path with as little disruption and suffering as we can. In short, we cannot afford not to be rational, not to ground our decisions in hard facts and solid models.

Scientists like Lesné should be detected much earlier in their careers.

I work on a project that is a c & c++ codebase where there isn't really a great reason for it being in those languages vs a language "with a runtime"

the hate is pretty simple:

- compile times

- vague compiler errors

- template syntax is incredibly hard to read, especially when using techniques like sfinae, or trying to write functional interfaces

- really bad names for idioms (raii, sfinae, pimpl)

- really bad names for standard library types & functions

- truly arrogant community (notice how the boost website doesn't advertise that it's the easiest to use library -- it's the "most expertly designed")

- class member function declaration is out of control (`virtual const foo bar(const baz& x) const override`)

- defaults are unsafe (mutable by default)

- package management is a nightmare (i've only used conan, which is starting to mature, but still has a limited selection of packages, and seems to
constantly break how they do things...because package building for an ecosystem as wide and unstructured as c++ is an intractable problem)

- cmake is the worst dsl ever. the program itself is fine, but the dsl is the worst.

- footguns everywhere (auto vs auto&...but auto* exists, and isn't necessary)

- N different ways of initializing

- it's incredibly hard to teach

- inconsistencies w/ C (brace initialization w/ named fields)

- incredibly subtle things can have a huge impact (class member variable declaration order)

- no standard way to document classes & functions

there are still certainly use cases where it's worth using, but the hate is pretty straightforward to me: it's just more hassle than it's worth most of the time. and there is some inner language struggling to get out that's probably nice to use. There are some nice things about it: notably static destruction.

and yes, some of those are more ecosystem based / my own opinions / not necessarily "the language" -- and there are reasons for why many of the warts are the way they are (backwards compatibility, control over construction order). it's still a giant pain in my ass.
One of the big questions I have is what happens if there's no significant financial incentive tied to a therapy. Lithium seems quite promising, for example. However, it's an abundant salt that requires very little research (meager funding opportunities) and can't be patented (non-existent commercialization opportunities.)

> Laws should be passed in each county to protect the locals from this

You mean, like a law requiring individual permission from the Foreign Ministry to purchase property and also imposing extra, recurring costs on non-citizens “buying property” in select areas, like within 100km of a border or 50km of a coast (with “buying property” in quotes be because they actually don't hold title but are the beneficiaries of a renewable trust held by a local bank that actually holds title?

That's a good idea. Mexico should look into doing that.

> but I rarely see this happening as the home owners in each county enjoy watching their assets boom

Restrictions on foreigners holding real property are...actually not that uncommon of a thing for countries to have.
I almost want to make that painfully hackneyed “did we work together?” Joke because this was my last job. It was status update overload.

Standups daily, then we’d have weekly all hands that I had to prepare status updates for, then a weekly 1:1 with my boss that needed status updates, and then each week my team would have to type out what we accomplished at the end of the week so the Director could send it to the execs for the weekly reviews.

The result? I am giving the same status updates to the same people upwards of four to five times in a single week. There were moments when I legitimately wanted to ask my boss in a very flippant way about his note taking abilities but that wouldn’t have done much but get me in the management dog house probably.

It was a source of annoyance with every other dev I talked to about it.
I had similar issue on Windows 10, so not sure if only 11 is affected. (After startup whole startbar was frozen and internet as well for 20-30 minutes). Reinstalling windows helped but only until all updates were installed.

No idea if the issue still persists, I switched to Qubes OS already.
I think the parent poster meant is there a timeline/roadmap of future milestones/missions that are publicly available
The precision doesn't matter much on the CPU (roughly half the throughout if you're doing a lot of them). You have a data dependency on the arctangent, and transcendentals are slow anyway, so you're not going to have a good time. You can even compute the sin and cos together and still expect a bare minimum latency of 50 clock cycles for the arctangent followed by 50 for the sincos, usually implemented with a variable speed algorithm that might be slower (i.e., lower bound of 30ns of latency on a moderately fast single core, just for the trig).

Throughput can be a bit higher with vectorization and pipelining, but more or less any such optimization you can make to the transcendentals you can also make on the proposed solution.
