This is not inhumane, if you can't block people based upon their inability to pay, or upon their past treatment of rental units.

It has to be fair for both parties.

And rent paid in advance is only so, if not in arrears.

But understand, my comment was responding to a post claiming that there should be no way to have a choice in whom you rent to.

I've seen units with a years rent in damages. Ripped carpet, holes in walls, smashed appliances and lights, etc.

But people want there to be no way to chose renters, based upon credit and past history?!

edit: your edited post clarifies things a bit. My primary concern is about forcing costs on the landlords, if there are no reliably checks. So I am open to ideas that take this into account.

edit2: more clarity here, that 'year's worth of rent in damages' was gross, not profit. It happens too frequently too. EG if rent is $100, a year of rent is $1200, but it isn't as if the landlord pockets that. Not even remotely close. Some landlords only make 30% on their units, when property tax, upkeep, water and other included things are involved.

So massive damage can take years to recoup!
I’d even say terrible for those who have no experience working remote; you’re entirely right in that it requires discipline. During the pandemic at my old company we had the IT/software department I worked in, and the auditing department. IT had no issues with complete remote having the prior experience and if anything productivity doubled. The auditing department struggled and was forced back in office as soon as possible.
I got a Mazda for this reason. Physical buttons for everything and carplay for navigation+spotify. Best of both worlds. Infotainment has touch screen when stationary, but while driving it can only be operated by voice and console buttons/wheel.
Also, a lot of states don't allow municipalities to file for bankruptcy.
I learned that when the touchscreen starts flickering, it means the alternator has shorted out and you've got only a few miles before the car goes dead.
When using it to make simple calculations while on a phone I think it would be easier than the long click select all delete combo, but perhaps this is not really the aim of the tool.
What the actual fuck. That's amazing!
AOSP has way too much churn for a sensible system. A Linux phone should just work, and share as much of its code as possible with Linux systems running on other device classes; distributions like pmOS and Mobian (and quite possibly Debian Mobile in the future) are working towards this goal.
Seconded. Their 3rd gen Sandero and new Jogger (basically Sandero Stepway estate version) are really great value for money, and have physical controls for almost everything important.
The button/wheel combo in my CX-5 is fantastic. You can develop actual muscle memory for the most important tasks: switching to/from currently playing song, and switching to navigation guidance.

This mostly comes down to the fact that Mazda has buttons for those right alongside the wheel.

It worries me at times. The creator has moved on but can still be consulted on stuff. The 2nd lead maintainer burned out and nominated me. I see my position as somewhat temporary, but I'm willing to hold it until 1) I get the improvements done that I want to and 2) the right successor comes along - which I worry may never happen ;-)

Completely agree. Not sure how to focus all the different efforts though. Talking about it is certainly a start.
Ask HN: Have you bought a boat?
Various advertisement engines have determined that I'm in the market for a used boat, and I guess they may be kind of right..

Like, a small, used one, preferrably no sail, but with gasoline or diesel engine, with enough shelter that I can sit with a computer if it starts raining..

Did you buy a boat? Why? How do you like having one ?
I like Windows 11!
Here are some reasons I think "why":

- Long term liabilities are not tracked (e.g., muni worker pensions, pension guaranteed CoL adjustments) as hard liabilities. That makes it easy to budget things now and borrow invisibly from the future

- Heads I Win, Tails You Lose mentality given that federal government or others could possibly bail you out.

- Leadership worries about elections NOW and approval rating NOW, not about issues 20yrs into the future

- Some muni worker groups have a stranglehold over towns and can demand far more than economically feasible, or else

- Insufficient critical mass of citizenry to look at long term issues

There's room for debate, but several High ranking members of the German military thought it was suicidal and actively tried to get the UK and other's to nip it in the bud before it got out of hand. And note, these weren't "good guys" trying to save the world or anything, they were just slightly less reckless bad people in most cases.

> The high-ranking German military leaders believed that if Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia or any other country, Britain would declare war on Germany.[52] MI6 was of the same opinion. The British declaration of war would have given the General Staff, it thought, both the pretext and the support for an overthrow of Hitler, which many of them were planning because of the prevailing "anti-war sentiment of the German people".[53]

If you live in less-than-temperate climates, adjusting the AC/heat is very common.

If you listen to the radio, switching stations is common (a not-safe-for-kids story comes on the news, a song you hate comes on, there are obnoxious commercial breaks).
The feet to meters conversion, or vice versa, doesn't work.
Both AC controls and volume are on touch-sensitive buttons on the new VW entertainment systems. The volume bar/AC temperature buttons don't even light up at night, making it completely invisible under the bright touch screen.

Once in a while, the system locks up, and you can't change AC anymore (can't turn it on/off, can't change the intensity). You have to shut down the engine, walk away from the car (with the key) for more then 20-30 meters and then wait 10 minutes.

I love my Seat Leon for many reasons, but the lack of buttons is not one of them.

It seems like in the end the pinebook pro did get the SPI chip on it, but then they flashed a closed source U-Boot to the eMMC instead which does not allow booting from SD. So it's again a complete pain for the other distributions to help these users.

For the wiping issue, a lot of times I see suggestions to wipe the first few MB of the storage when there's booting and flashing issues to get rid of an old U-Boot, which is exactly what you don't want in the Tow-Boot case.
> from TFA: "Designers want a "clean" interior with minimal switchgear"

Speaking as someone with an Interaction Design (IxD) degree: no we fucking don't. Tactile buttons being superior has been known for ages. For example, Bret Victor wrote "A Brief Rant On The Future Of Interaction Design" in 2011, so over a decade ago[0]. Not that anyone with the power to change things listened, because these decisions aren't made by the designers.

This is mostly a consequence of people higher up trying to save costs by using touchscreens, which is cheaper to buy and cheaper to develop for. HCI and IxD have always had this issue that we're asked to fix things up after everything else has already been decided. Basically, we're mistaken for graphic designers who decide on what the final product will look like. So we're given a touchscreen to develop an interface for, not a blank-slate car interior (or whatever) for which we get to decide the button layout.

At the risk of pulling a "no true Scotsman", this is a consequence of cost-cutting first and foremost. Don't blame the people who actually have a background HCI or Interaction Design. We all knew this was coming, and we hated it. If we're told to make do with the touchscreens we are given, with the alternatives of actual physical buttons being ignored before we even get to make decisions, then don't blame us for the lack of those buttons.

The layers of separation between stakeholder interests (what does the customer want?) and operating behavior (what gets built?) is fascinating.

In this case, I wonder what the story is. Ideas...
- Feedback loops are very slow to close in auto design/manufacturing, widening the stakeholder-execution gap.
- I have the impression that disconnected, unaccountable "futurists" lead auto design and obfuscate real human needs
- Classically, there is a big gap between what people say they want and what they're actually willing to pay for

What else might be contributing factors?

I find this post hilarious. You're trying to juggle an idea that is in itself paradoxical and illogical.

The idea that all forms of discrimination are bad. Hear me out.

All discrimination is bad including cultural discrimination. However if a culture discriminates against sex or race how do I reconcile this paradox? By respecting a culture must I respect a culture a discrimination? The parent post is a confused person trying to make sense of the paradox.

My suggestion is to get above all of it. You don't need to crystallize discrimination into a hard black and white rule where if you discriminate your evil and if you don't your good. Much of America has this attitude and they can't rise above it.

There are legitimate logical and mathematical correlations between race and certain traits, between sex and certain traits and between culture and certain traits. To judge a person for these traits based off of sex, culture and race can be very rational due to these very real correlations.

But instead America has embraced woke culture which takes these anti discrimination views to the extreme such that you get male athletes with sex changes competing with women in female sports. It's sort of insane. But I get it.

This wokenesses attitude arises from a past where Americans took discrimination to illogical levels and committed atrocities because of it. Now our country lives in the extremes. You are either racist/sexist or you are woke. Pick one, because there isn't really a word for a moderate viewpoint on this topic.

The hypocrisy is all around us. Don't discriminate against gender but we must segregate restrooms into male and female versions. Are you saying males are lecherous pervs and we must give females a safe space to piss, shit and do makeup? It's actually completely sexist to segregate restrooms when men and women practically share every other space.
This seems like an odd complaint considering SF appears to have out of control spending and poor infrastructure.

Methinks author is conflating two separate issues.
It's usually bad form to claim that you had some special insight prior to anyone else, but this should have been obvious to everyone from the start. How such a terrible idea made it through various teams of experts at these large car companies, I'll never understand.
> It's equivalent to looking at 19th Century automobiles and asserting that they'll be able to travel to other stars by the end of the decade.

That's not actually equivalent at all. Looking at improvements to automobiles would mean them going faster, being more reliable, etc. Space is obviously a different domain.

Your analogy is like if people were suggesting that AI image generation models were going to become advanced enough to start driving cars or folding your laundry.
Agreed; I figure the necessary missing piece is government dampening this effect. Some way or another, to balance it out you need to “leak” capital faster & faster as you accumulate it. The size of the leak would be tuned to allow you to continue to grow your wealth if you are still rapidly creating new wealth, but if you just sit on a kings ransom in safe investments, it would leak away & attenuate.

Trouble being, this most likely takes the form of steeply rising taxes, which are ever-unpopular, and needs careful design. I also suspect just about everybody aspires to “make it” and then stop striving; this is somewhat antithetical to that (although the leak would be tiny at regular-people levels of wealth)
In my car, there are physical buttons on the steering wheel. A left and right button with a scroll wheel in between on each side. Those buttons change context depending on what you're doing. Left side is usually audio controls and the right side does a few different things but I mostly use it for adjusting the adaptive cruise control. I find no other need for buttons all over the place. Climate is set to auto, most everything else used for driving is on the stalks. I don't understand this great need for lots of buttons. Just have a few useful physical buttons and controls.
I must be mistaken, looks like 8, those are the sites I use.
Aircon, music volume and skipping songs, emergency blinkers, driving mode (suspension, etc)... These are some things that I could manage with a physical button and are now placed on a screen, forcing me to look since I don't have tactile feedback.
> Did it really? It will always be hard to estimate, I read articles arguing either way.

That's certainly fair, and a definite delta from your previous "probably not, or a slim chance" statement. Thanks for considering alternate views.

the point of the shadow / virtual DOM is to accumulate changes and send those to the browser rendering process in batches, so that it thrashes less, thereby being faster, typically.

Historically, this is what people have used public libraries and university libraries for. They're typically not internet-free spaces, but a little discipline on the user's part solves that.
The best thing the prius does is put the display forward where your hands and steering wheel spokes can't obscure them. This is cancelled out by that godforsaken shifter that returns to the same position regardless of the gear it's in and is only one step above the stupid FCA knob.

Yes of course. And why not? As long as the Ukrainians are willing to fight then it makes total sense to support them. It doesn't cost very much relative to our defense budget. The losses Russia is suffering will take them many years to rebuild, and will temporarily eliminate them as a conventional threat to our allies in the region. We get to see whether our weapons actually work or need improvements. And we are partially rebuilding our reputation as a reliable international partner after the debacle in Afghanistan.

If the Ukrainians don't want to fight the war then they can surrender at any time.
Part of the problem is the car industry operates in 10 year product horizons, given costs to amortization and legacy systems. I consulted at a 2012 LA autoshow workshop led by a major vendor of in-car systems and equipment (Faurecia). The default assumption for two days was in 10 years (this year!) we’d have self-driving vehicles for most of our in-car experiences. So design that cabin. These screens and legacies are part of that false belief from 10 years ago. Tesla’s “success” has only helped fuel the assumption. If you got that assignment this year for the year 2032, what would your in-car experience look like? It’s a really hard problem to build big, costly, deadly consumer products into. Knobs and buttons still seem preferable cause they just work and work well for 10 years or more.
It's not done in the code itself, it's done in the compiler configuration. We specify a mapping of memory ranges (based on the hardware and how we want to use it) and the compiler assigns addresses to variables within those ranges as appropriate. gcc calls these files "linker scripts", armcc "scatter files" -- those are the keywords to look up for examples and documentation.

> And... unless you're in a marginalized minority group, you really aren't in a position to know how racist people are.

My experience is that people are more likely to share racist views with other people of their ethnic group but would likely never be overtly hostile to a person of a different race.

Also, I think if you are in a marginalized group it's extremely hard to disambiguate racism from general assholery.

If you don't get hired for a job you'll never know if it was because the interviewer was racist or because he just didn't like you

Android is a horrible platform to hack on. I'd much rather hack on something closer to base Linux - think Maemo or similar.
Makes it all the more notable she thought they would never afford a car and how much of an inversion we’ve had between the price of manufactured goods and labour in under a century.
Physical buttons: 1. Are expensive 2. Need space on the PCB 3. Need ICT 4. Need special soldering sometimes 5. need a dedicated interrupt interface on the microcontroller ( that's why are more responsive) 6. Need software both at "kernel" (BSW) level and at userspace (application) level. A touchscreen "button" needs only a callback to a routine and a lot of patience from the user.
AOSP is still a google-controlled project that requires a ton of blobs, whereas the Pinephone (and other linux compatible smartphones like the Librem 5) has an entire ecosystem of healthy linux distros (from Mobian to Archlinux) running as close as possible to mainline linux.

They are doing great work but they're still depending on google for maintaining Android (Can GrapheneOS do anything against a feature pushed by Google in Android 13/14 and so on? Nope).

You still lose all the post-processing stuff which account for a good portion of perceived picture quality.
African American is neither a race nor a citizenship. If you're of African descent, born in England, you may say you're African, or English, but you'll likely never say you're English African. There's a sense of heritage in African American descent but it's also very messy. A black man from England travelling to America could plausibly be called African American because it's largely been redefined as "Black but not culturally African" in what I assumed was culturally local definition.
> It becomes "fastest animal" race for the door (or mountaintop fortress or whatever).

As a planet, we are at that point already, we have been at it for at least a decade or longer when people started migrating inside of Africa and then towards Europe as droughts made farming and survival fiendishly difficult to outright impossible.

And our politicians have already begun preparing for the real escalation of the climate wars - the US have built a massive border wall in the South and are quite okay with dumping water left behind in the desert [1] and other atrocities, and here in Europe Frontex has been engaging in illegal pushbacks and criminalization of sea rescue for years as well [2]. We are normalizing atrocities to keep the Western countries clean from the consequences of mostly our own CO2 emissions.

> Simple efficiency is a real solution given actual implementation. Do not throw out goodwill and stability with this political violence spectre.

There is no goodwill left in US politics, not on the Republican side at least. Europe has the goodwill, but unfortunately a lot of decisions require unanimous consent and China particularly has used the 2008ff financial crisis to strategically take over critical assets and countries, not to mention the historic links Russia has to major German and Italian parties. As I detailed below, I see it highly likely that a frustrated populace - either from the left or the right wing, but I believe that the far-right will be more effective - will resort to massive social unrest like in France with the Yellow Vests.

This is why Christmas shutdowns (and Thanksgiving) are the best holidays. Whenever we have a new person, we tell them how seriously we take the shutdown and to not send the team any emails until after.

In 2020, we had a manager join from a different FANG and she sent two emails the first Monday of break. Apparently another manager immediately texted her and told her to stop!
You said you came to the same "conclusion" ("not worth engaging tbh" said OP). So now you admit that your comment was a lie, and that you do want to engage. Not really interested now though, someone who one moment believes I'm not worthy of engaging but the next moment pretends they are an open and interested communicator ready and receptive to communication is quite the mood swing on your end. This is the last I desire to ever interact with you, and I'll give you the benefit of the result there would be had your comment actually been truth: have a nice life and I promise never to intentionally contact you again.
Do keep in mind I was talking about replacing failed switches in the context of commercial airliners. As far as ordinary cars are concerned, I agree those would be dirt cheap and easy affairs.
A great many US cities were losing population in the post-WWII era including some that are now regarded as "elite" coastal cities. Boston, for example, was losing population well into the nineties and, lots of universities notwithstanding, had no real major tech industry left by the time Teradyne moved out. (All the local computer companies and defense contractors were out in the suburbs/exurbs.)

So some cities did weather the cycles. Others like Detroit not so much--at least outside of certain core areas.
