Of the two additional properties I own, marked as investment and vacation, they are 3.5% and 3%, refinanced, and bought during the pandemic. The former, five years prior, was marked as non warrantable, as in no bank would even give a loan for it.

So, while investors don’t get the same rates as homeowners, they still got very good rates. If I had had capital, I would have bought a dozen more units at that time.

Haven't you been to an airport? or survived this covid period? The fear is proportional to the advantage.

If there's a 1000$ behind a door that costs 500$ to open then you open it no? Then the people who own everything must raise the price of opening the door or they'll have mutiny on their hands. We've seen the price steadily go up and it's not a coincidence.

That's sad. I would rather study a computer science subject that helps me create something of value.

Do you think Linus Torvalds, John Carmack, Dennis Ritchie, and others spent their days grinding Leetcode? no. If they did, you would not know about them today.

They spent their days improving their craft by creating and delivering value.

All of the people grinding Leetcode will be replaced in a couple of years by Github Copilot anyways.

Sure, it is. A scene obsessed with passing interviews rather than what comes after you accept the offer. A scene obsessed with entering a MAANG and total compensation. A corruption of the software engineering discipline.

It's a start - https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Eccentrica_Gallumbits
Exactly this. Imo it's just a way of introducing new terms that can carry more subtle and nuanced meaning as the "corpspeak" evolves over time. "Bandwidth" doesn't just mean "time", it means time and energy and mental capacity. It conveys that you have a fixed amount of time/energy that you set aside for work.

Also, I was unconvinced from the examples about how vague and neutral corpspeak is.

> I’ll escalate this could mean:

> “I guess my manager should know about this.”

> OR

> “I’m telling.”

How is this different from just saying "I'll let the manager know". All phrases can have different meanings and connotations based on context.

Perhaps it can be said that corpspeak is used to purposefully distance professional conversations from the loaded terminology that is used in casual conversation. The article talks about this at the end too. But over time, language will always take on nuance based on usage.

So if the color of corpspeak is a neutral gray, it's because that is how we use it, and want it to be used.

>What pressures would a nationalized system have? How about the fact that normal people don't want to ruin the environment around them? You don't need additional pressure to make sure that doesn't happen.

Elsewhere in this thread people are literally talking about nationalized healthcare systems where people are waiting hours for ambulances, or dying in hospital waiting rooms. I think the statement of "normal people don't want to ruin the environment around them" is applicable to the people working in those healthcare systems, yet it's still apparently happening.

I'm not a psychologist or a sociologist, but I tend to agree with you. I might expand this farther than work though. You can find this any human activity that has very passionate people: religion, politics, self-help, tech (apparently). Ultimately, humans are susceptible to posturing ourselves compared to our peers. To me, the byproduct is morality of which a major component is judgement.

Something is off here though, grilled pork chops wouldn’t necessarily be exposed to smoke, just maybe the PAH coming from charred areas which could happen to any meat. Using bad or wet charcoal you get what BBQ people refer to as a “creosote” taste, ie bitter unpleasant white smoke.

Still if a 10 min pork chop could be that bad I can only imagine that a 5 hour smoked brisket would be absolutely off the chart.

Because I'm well aware of horrible evil governments doing exactly the same. Norilsk became what it is now under Soviets, which were not keen on private enterprises. Pollution is more or less orthogonal to the form of ownership.

No, the problem does not go away. You start optimising for short term political goals (see also: ongoing property debt crisis in China), and minimising short-term drama (see also: regulatory capture by unions). Sometimes you also start implementing insane projects just because your glorious leader decided to do them and cost/value is not an issue (see also: Chinese war on sparrows). Sometimes you just minimise the expense and make everyone disagreeing with you shut up, because they don't have a choice either way (see also: Chernobyl not having containment). You also get way less feedback, because you're spending someone else's money (i.e., taxpayers'). So no, "government consists of decent people and they won't optimise for the short term even though they are doing it now because there'll be no commercial company controlling it" is a very optimistic take at most and definitely not a realistic one.

And their opinion is to push the complexities further up the ladder onto the makers of the tooling.

I’ve seen some crazy assed stuff they do with C++ templates and my reaction isn’t that they need to be spending their time on writing blog posts to explain the dark mysteries to me but that maybe I’m not the one who should be trying to write a library without spending a massive amount of time learning how this stuff works.

Sure, I can beat a template into submission using the famously helpful error messages the compiler provides and some random blog posts by people who actually understand what’s going on and I’m very thankful that they spent the time explaining it. Even having 1000 line long error messages helps once you learn what it is really complaining about. And this isn’t even my literal job, just something I do because I enjoy it.

I don't see a problem with behavioral analytics. Anyone can do it, it's not going to break us. What will is one or two organizations having exclusive access to our behavior and using that info to create a competitive advantage. So I think Apple is moving in that direction more than anyone else. Meta provides demographic info to any advertisers who sign up to use its service and so is not a threat to economic opportunity at all IMO.
I think the good comparison that people encounter day-to-day is full disk encryption. It's the default on macOS, the only option on iOS, (those are the two platforms I use), and I assume the case on windows and android.

The thing is FDE essentially only protects your data when your machine is powered off. Once your machine is booted and you've logged in any block level encryption ceases to be relevant, because to get to the point of running your machine has to have loaded in the relevant key material to decrypt. From that point on user space code no longer sees a difference between encrypted and decrypted drives. In other words FDE is not relevant is you lose a powered on device (post login if relevant to the platform), and you're the kind of person people are actively targeting (I recall recently? the content of someone's phone or such being dumped by the FBI because they grabbed it while it was being used).

That's why modern OS's have different key classes, there's the lowest level which is just FDE, but you can have higher levels where requesting key material essentially just gives you a handle to that material. Then the OS, or preferably hardware with a much less complex OS, manages those handles and invalidates them according to policy rules. e.g you may want your phone to have access to your address book while your phone is locked, which does not mean you need your call history available as well.

The policies provided by OSs tend to be fairly simple because it's better to have an easy to understand API that is easy to use and hard to screw up than a more "powerful" API that is easy to screw up and hard to use (the latter resulting in people simply not encrypting things at all). e.g iOS/macOS only has the following file protections when you create files: "NSFileProtectionComplete", "NSFileProtectionCompleteUnlessOpen", "NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilFirstUserAuthentication", "NSFileProtectionNone", but they're very easy to understand.[1]

I tried to find the android equivalent but I don't know the terminology that's used and I just get linked to instructions on using AES, so if someone could link the correct doc I'd appreciate it.

I've been wondering about that. It seems clear to me that in general, human-made art will survive AI art, in part due to things like status and the need for connection to other people though art... But these things are absolutely not what people want for most sex content. In fact if you can be confident that there's no human behind some porn thing it might feel better and less shameful. Add to this that AI will be able to cater to people's preferences far better, and provide an even greater variety of content, and yeah I don't really see how the adult industry really survives outside of some niche cases.
It adds an automated annoyance to something that users already take care of whenever needed.

> No "10k new roof" or "1k new stove" suprises hit you.

New roof costs are pretty much never a surprise. You should know when you buy the house how much life is left in the roof and plan accordingly. If a natural disaster occurs that destroys your roof, insurance will cover it.

Appliance costs? Yeah, they are often surprises. Hard to find reliable appliances any more.

Oh, and it's hard to get a $10K roof these day :-)

> If you are say, saving 50% vs buying, you can put this difference in an index fund. This would over 10 or 20 years potentially give you a LOT of money over buying.

Yeah, I always wondered if I should do this analysis for my house, and I'd be curious on studies on how this would play out in most cases. For me, right from the get go the rent on a comparable house exceeded the monthly interest + tax + insurance (excluding principle). The tax benefits more than paid for all the maintenance costs. So the main questions would be:

1. How much would the down payment be worth in an index fund?

2. How much would the principle payments monthly in an index fund be worth?

I suspect that I'm ahead of the market significantly, what with all the crazy house appreciation (that alone is about 8x my down payment), and rents are quite high - easily increased by over 70% since I bought the house.

I've had an inexplicable fetish for naked women since I was about 11. My therapist and I have been unable to discover the roots of it. No accounting for kinks, I guess. I never tell anyone IRL, lest women become self conscious about being naked in front of me in everyday casual situations. Plus the shame. My girlfriends usually figure it out, if they're perceptive.

Now for serious. I have always found it unintentionally hilarious how many people appear to believe that porniness resides in the object, rather than in the viewer. Carrying on with categorizing this thing as sexual, and that thing as non-sexual. That only works for legal and regulatory purposes, sillies, and then only barely!

It is quite toxic, but a drop on skin being lethal is a bit of an exaggeration. If you get any on you, you probably have to talk to experts to address it properly. If you spill a lot on yourself it is indeed a medical emergency.

What happens is your body has to neutralize the acid that very freely absorbs into you through skin contact, and hours later when/if the amount you took exceeds your (mostly) kidney's ability to maintain pH/ion balances, your nerves stop firing for lack of calcium to enable the electrical activity and your heart stops beating normally, then at all.

the more people complain about telemetry, the more i know I'm right not to be concerned. if it is a problem for you, go back to emacs 19 or vi or whatever and leave the rest of us alone.

alternatively, go climb the ladder at any company that collects this terrible scourge of invaluable personal explosive data and get them to stop.

I'm ok with this. and just like you didn’t like me belittling your position, as i did above, i’ll kindly ask that you understand my reaction here to being told (without asking, by the way) that telemetry is an unparalleled bad thing.

i wish people who are convinced that some illuminati-like cadre is behind all of these things were employed at large companies which could collect this info. there is nowhere nearly enough cohesion between employees to make anything useful out of all the data collected, much less to act upon it, outside of the developers trying to chase the bug that has haunted them for 36 months, and the UX team trying desperately to reduce the amount of choices in menus. i mean, manage a few projects with people who are all on board with the effort - even those groups are hard to keep focused, most of the time.

these companies use this data for the stated purposes; to help make their products better. if i could explain some of the technical considerations behind the apparently odd choice of data to collect, it would make a lot more sense, but i’m pretty awful at communicating, and even if i weren’t, and i were able to succinctly convey that info, i feel like most of you would just argue with me anyway.
I mean both my parents and I did. I was born in California and left all my friends and family. Simply too expensive. Too many taxes and always increasing.

I feel like this is going to be impossible but I'm going to try one more time.

The reason the First Amendment denies Congress the right to abridge speech is that freedom of speech implicitly allows freedom from speech, just as the right to assembly implicitly allows the right not to assemble and freedom of religion implies freedom from religion. The First Amendment is written the way it is to protect the right of the people, and of private enterprise, to moderate speech on their property. Their doing so isn't a violation of freedom of speech, it is freedom of speech.

>People who want to minimize freedom of speech will point to the first amendment and say that restricting congress from restricting our speech is all we should have.

First, no one here is actually making that argument.

Second, it baffles me how you can type that and not realize that allowing congress to restrict our speech more than they're allowed to makes our speech less free.

And third, I have to echo the sentiment of sascha_sl's comment here. It's telling that this outrage only ever comes out on behalf of people with a specific political bent. None of Hacker News' free speech advocates ever go to bat for LGBT or black or leftist content that gets unfairly demonetized or banned, which despite the narrative happens all the time. Only ever for the right-wingers, racists and assholes, and only after Trump's white supremacist fringe base started getting banned en masse.

This isn't about freedom of speech, and never has been. It's about one political ideology wanting the government to coerce private platforms into publishing their propaganda against their will.

I'm not sure exactly what the "this" is in your comment. The government has largely accomplished their inflation goal as that has been roughly what inflation was for 30+ years, but they aren't all powerful and can fail that goal like they have in the past year.

The government could put the same energy to keeping housing costs in pace with inflation. They don't. Instead, the government tries to keep housing costs rising faster than inflation because housing is viewed as an investment. They have been successful in that goal as housing is greatly outpacing inflation.

> Based on the new scraping ruling with LinkedIn [0], anything that is "open gate" (as in, accessible without logging in) can be scraped and (I assume) be used by neural networks.

The ruling you are linking to is about whether scraping violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

This isn't really applicable here. First of all, that's a separate issue from copyright. Just because scraping publicly accessible data doesn't violate the CFAA doesn't mean that suddenly all images posted on the internet are public domain or that can use copyrighted images from websites for whatever you want, for example.

Furthermore, how copyright applies to training neural networks on copyrighted works is an open question right now.
