> flats with just two bedrooms going for more than half a million euros in the centers of Lisbon or Oporto.

How is that different from other places? Houses in the center of big cities are always a lot more expensive than others far away from it. Want a small one in the center of Rome? Here you are: 27mq, 2nd floor and no elevator, no heating, no air conditioning, abysmal energy efficiency, no kitchen, renovation needed, only €600,000. What a bargain!

No thanks, I'll rather spend less than one third for the 7 times bigger house I'll be soon relocating to.
I lived most of my life near the center of Rome; if you come as a tourist I concur it can be a wonderful experience, but after decades of traffic, noise and pollution, leaving for a much quieter and cleaner place with plenty of space for my hobbies is the best thing I could do. And it's also much cheaper. YMMV of course.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: since when did America give two s*ts about any of our experiences? If I missed the "people care about what happened to me because of my skin color" train, please let me know where that station was. It's a huge mistake to equate violent crime with being disadvantaged.

For whatever its worth, I attended, and cried at, Kelsey Hightower's life story. The goodness of someone making it out of a really hard situation is cool and inspiring, but the badness of crime being legitimized on the basis of someone's life experience is deeply upsetting and dangerous. There is also this tiny little detail about that idea being antithetical to liberalism itself, but we don't need to get into that.
I’d say on a population level exercise (as in more active, less sedentary lifestyles) will be a large factor. Though on an individual level you are right that diet will be the big thing.

Though population level there is also a lot of food policy and incentive structures we could alter to improve diets in general as well.

Unfortunately education in Portugal is one of the worst in Europe. It would need a massive investment with a visionary direction to start to see results 15 years later. 4-year terms do not lend themselves well to long-term national projects like that.

Ironically, excellent education might be one of the most positive legacies the Communist regimes left to Eastern European countries, and part of why countries like Estonia or Poland will be better poised in the near future.
Infrastructure as Code: The Next Big Shift Is Here
Latacora | CorpSec and AppSec Engineers | Remote | Full-time

Why do security at a startup when you can do security at all the startups?

Latacora builds information security practices from scratch. We help clients solve the “minimal viable security team” problem. Clients of all sizes need a wide array of specific technical competencies, advisory work, and pragmatic project/program management. That’s unreasonable to expect from any single hire, so that’s where we come in.

Latacora’s (current or emeritus) clients include health care, fintech, literal banks, medical devices, transportation, AI, quantum computing, and even sports analytics. We’ve started companies as small as three people but have also helped clients go public while being a client. Our sweet spot for a new client is between seed and B, and our engagements tend to last several years.

Some clients who have disclosed their relationship with us (either via us or our sibling venture fund) include Vercel, Tailscale, Teleport, Stytch, WorkOS… We’ve got a bunch of other awesome clients that we prefer not to plaster over the Internet :-)

We’re always hiring for the right folks, but right now, we’re particularly interested in corpsec and appsec engineers, especially in the mid-to-senior range. Detailed JDs below, but in summary:

AppSec (application security) engineers break software and help clients design better alternatives.

CorpSec (corporate security) engineers focus on our clients’ people: they deal with strong authentication, access control, mobile device management, vendor risk management, et cetera.

Twitter widget snafu leads to nightmare Google snippet for French oil firm Total
People study this stuff and have written about it extensively. By and large, in most US cities and towns, it's not legal to build anything but detached single family units in most of the city. So while each locale may have its own zoning code, they're rarely all that unique. There are some exceptions like Houston.

This is an interesting book about the history of it all: https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9780801479878/zone...
> Or do I need to concern myself with IP reputations still?

IP reputation relates to the receiver (usually the big web mail providers) deciding an email is spam based on the IP.

For your own receiving of emails, it should make no difference.

> Do I care about spam?

This is not a question we can answer for you.

> How hackable are email servers

A modern Postfix install, provided you don't miss-configure it, is pretty secure overall. The defaults start out on the "secure" side, so you do have to undo the wrong default to have a problem.

> What are the gotchas for managing your own email server? Inbound deliverability? Up time? spam / bots? updates and monitoring? disk space?

For a 'deliver only' server, you should have no issues.

Email is based on a store-and-forward architecture, and was designed to work in the days of UUCP data transfers, so if you are down for a day or two, inbound emails just wait until you are back up and then arrive.

Spammers will spam, it is what they do. Eventually one of the emails you allocate will find its way into a spam list and you'll get some requests for accepting DHL shippments or be asked to help the crown prince transfer $100MM out of country.

Being able to do easy updates makes the eventual management easier.

With 500G disks selling for 25.98 (https://www.newegg.com/seagate-barracuda-st500dm009-500gb/p/...) disk space is not likely to be a big concern unless you plan to receive a lot of giant email attachments.

> I'm curious if anyone else has thought about this and set it up for themselves,

I've self hosted my own email since circa 1998-1999. Doing so is not the "big scary monster" many of the "don't do that" blog posts make it out to be, but then again I've been a Linux user since somewhere circa the 0.99 kernel revision and am a heavy CLI user, so what I consider "relatively trivial" others might consider "impossibly hard".
I ran a 1000 person NodeJs group for 4 years. I was aware meetup would offer up the group to anyone if I stepped away.

When it started dwindling and the other co-organizers lost interest I made an announcement that we were sunsetting the group at the end of the year. The last meetup was at a brewery instead of an office and we deleted the group right there.

It would be nice if there were a way to archive the group, but the only options are abandoning for anyone to grab as a marketing list or complete deletion.

It is a very good indicator that it's a large company with centralized IT, where ops personal works in a different department from devs.

If you are buying software from them, it's probably bad. But I don't think it's a reliable indicator for companies in general.
I'm always fascinated watching the progression of companies who are so massive that seeing them decline seems almost impossible. But then one day, it happens. The tech world of the 2030's and beyond is going to look very different than that of today.
I doubt that even 30% of people would consider having government as a landlord good alternative. There are so many news of poor management that depending on the government to fix your plumbing in your house seems like a nightmare scenario to me.
I've had vivid dreams where I was completely convinced I was in reality. Continuity was maintained well enough to fool me. How could I know I wasn't in a dream? How can I truly know beyond doubt that I am not in a dream?
Yes you can sometimes do that (I've lucid dreamed quite a few times before and it's pretty wild), but it's nowhere near 100% reliable. you can get pretty good with practice, but even then it's not a scientific test. It's more of a process of reasoning and gut checking. The human mind can fill in an incredible amount of detail when needed. In one lucid dream I was playing a song on the guitar that I had (as far as I know) never heard before (myself in the dream was inventing the song). I realized I was dreaming before waking up and practiced the song over and over so it was stuck in my head, and then immediately after waking I wrote down the tablature. It ended up being a pretty good song, and (at least so far) I haven't heard anything else like it.

Obviously this is heavy anecdata, but I've never heard a scientific explanation of how to be certain whether or not you're dreaming (or as Descartes describes, being deceived by a demon).
Clearly there is a middle ground. Japan has this problem too, with real estate. So they reformed their zoning and permitting laws to make building easier, and it worked. Housing prices came down, and the negative effects were minimal.

Once upon a time, during the Lochner era, it was almost impossible to regulate in the US. While that environment had advantages, it clearly had many downsides. Since then, we have overcorrected, and made it too easy to regulate. We need to pull things back a little.

Thanks to using MongoDB as a database layer, you will not lose your data if you rename fields. This is a huge benefit for NoSQL in general honestly and it is one of the reasons why we chose to move forward with Mongo initially. We will be supporting Postgres + others in the future, at which point we will be introducing a migrations pattern, but for now, you don't need to worry about that at all.

With Payload as it stands now, to migrate data from one field to another, you can make use of Payload's Local Node API to move data from one property to another with ease.

The mass of the Moon is around 7.35 x 1022 kg.

It would take in the order of 10^6 years to reduce the mass of the Moon by 0.01% if we mined at the rate at which we mine(example: iron) on Earth.

Having said that, it is not about altering the mass of the moon. It is not even about deorbiting. Both of which are enormously difficult to fuck up by our puny efforts. It would also have very little effect on rotational speed or gravitational field.

But that’s not the point. At all. What is the cost of mining the moon/space mining? What is this metal that we are going to mine at astronomical costs that is alleged to magically make all our lives better and ‘save the oceans’.

I couldn’t find that information the article. I think someone simply wants grant money to build a bigger house or fund their children’s college fund. This duck isn’t flying..not walking..not even limping it’s way to the moon to mine anything.
I appreciate the way you framed this.

> No consumer wants these messages.

While I personally resonate with this sentiment, it's not accurate in my (very skeptical) experience. "many" consumers? "most" consumers? maybe. but I'd be slow to underestimate the size of the market here.

> My concern is that these will turn SMS, one of the last (mostly) clean communication channels, into another cesspit like email and the web have become

Valid and well articulated. I don't have a great response on the broad concern (we've demonstrated as a society/culture why we can't always have nice things; e.g. robocalls) beyond knowing the degree to which this medium gets regulated by the big 4 utility companies (and government). They are quite sensitive to their customer's (and constituent's) preferences to not have this personal space invaded. As for boostly, I think it will only shoot ourselves in the foot to overstep (or even get close to) these important boundaries.

> They are by far the worst people I've ever had as clients, if you could even sell to them

Certainly not the easiest lot. We do view the ability to sell to them and meet needs as a competitive advantage of sorts.

Thanks for your informed feedback!
Long married now, but for many years, a trip to the climbing gym was my standard first date (that is - someone I met elsewhere, I would take them climbing). It worked really well:

* It's a natural two-person activity with a bidirectional trust exercise.

* Heights provide a little amygdala stimulation.

* It's hard and physical and you feel like you deserve a beer afterwards.

* If your date is not already a climber, you get to play the role of the teacher/master.

* It weeds out the extremely uptight / neurotic.
Vancouver is a disaster in housing affordability, economic opportunities (outside of real estate), and they have a very big and public homeless crisis.
Instead, the school proposed a deal where, in the future, if a student were caught shoplifting, we’d call the dean instead of the police.

School campuses are like fiefdoms these days. A lot of schools have their own campus police and handle cases between students internally, but asking local townsfolk to use their own arbiters instead of the police is really something else. Tangentially related I helped a friend with move-in day recently and they told me international students had been there for 2 weeks already... quarantining... in a city where all mask mandates ended months ago. It all seems so performative.

Is there a way something like Kagi can also search google and ddg and ad results to a search then rank the relevant ones based on which ones users click in the results in addition to whatever/wherever Kagi indexes from? (or is that how it works - because the goog crawler is massive and hard to replicate is it not?)

Serious questions, as I do not know...
Much of that will be the crawling and indexing that has to be done independent of the number of users, right?

So costs per user will go down with the number of users as this fixed cost is shared between more requests/users.

>By raising real estate prices, it stimulates the construction business, which is labor intensive and has a long supply chain. It benefits the entire economy of the country.

Maybe, but only if the increase in wages paid keeps up with the rising rents. And remember that in unregulated capitalism, most of the income from increased economic activity is captured by the wealthiest tiers, with only negligible increases for the vast majority. The rising tide indeed raises all boats, but it raises some boats far more than most. If rent rises 10% but median wages rise only 2%, most people will be losing ground, not gaining.

It's unsovlable - even if cryptography could solve it, you'd have to trust the implementation.

Thought; Just periodically rotate your account, and use a new cc number. There is no bonus to me for keeping a particular account over the long term, as there is no history etc. However, I love the service and want to pay.
In your mind how many man years of savings do you think is worth one human life? Let's say we can save half the time on a big project but periodically one random person is killed. Worth it?

I'm being glib here and/but/also we need to be talking about this directly. There's a spectrum of possible responses to the question and we need a language to discuss risk intelligently.
There was ample motivation for AMD to be the first manufacturer with a heterogeneous chiplet CPU, it's hugely disappointing that they didn't make the dive. A stable 5.5+gHz clock is impressive, but I would have much preferred to see that engineering effort go towards making nice efficiency cores.
Searched for the word "union". Not there. If the regulations are half of the problem, unions are the other half. Can’t talk about one and not the other.
Portuguese here.

I think this title is a bit sensationalist. It's true that a middle class Portuguese, with the extremely heavy income/property taxes we have to pay, will find it very difficult to live in Lisbon's or Porto's city center in a medium-upper apartment.

Lisbon (and even more Porto) do have an extensive metro line though, and you can rent/buy an apartment on the outskirts (although still served by metro line), even with the low liquid wages. But more than that, vast areas of the country are extremely deserted and housing is extremely cheap there (a similar house in the interior goes for about 20% of one in Lisbon/Porto).

Also, there's the problem of the government having destroyed most of the middle class to embezzle the metric of the "minimum wage". Constant mandates to increase the minimum wage (and very heavy taxes on anyone that earns more than that), make so that companies can't discriminate between good and bad workers. Most workers get paid almost the same, and as such, there's no point in trying to be a better worker.

I'm one of the "lucky ones" because I bring home about €2000/month. My company has a total cost with my salary after taxes and other state contributions of €3880/month.

Now, I know that you can have the argument that we get a lot of "free" services in return, but, sadly, no, we don't. Decades old mismanagement (governments use these "free" services to cater to their party members and get them nice administration positions for which they don't have any experience) and some outright corruption, destroyed the quality of most of these "free" services.

The SNS is in absolute shambles. Our mortality rate is the highest since 1913 (ok, you can attribute that COVID). Our infant mortality rate, the highest since 1982 (sorry, but you can't say this one is due to COVID). Now, what happened to cause this? 7 years ago, we got a center-left government into power, one of their first measures was to destroy a system where the hospitals were public, but the management was done by a private company - these hospitals had much better metrics for both costs and quality of service. They abolished that, and replaced the hospitals' administration by party members. This is the result.

Like it happened with the SNS, similar stuff happened in a lot of other areas. In the end, the government's answer is always the same: increase taxes - which strangulates the economy and destroys the middle class, and, funnily enough, transforms us all into people dependent on "government's money" and their subsidies - that ensures that they keep in power because nobody can imagine living without those "free" services with the low liquid wages we have.
> This effect has bled along the coast, and many coastal villages now ask €200k for an unmodernised one bedroom house.

Well, compared to capitals in some countries in Europe, that is still cheap! Try half a million for a completely empty run-down flat.
It's not a view, it's a fact. Most environmental projects don't have a budget to support more than a couple people. If you'd like that to be different, yeah, me too. Complaining doesn't change it though, which is why I ask for ideas instead of self-righteous doomsaying.

The standard basically said, if your compiler supports this new feature, here's how you use it in your programs. And no compilers have ever supported the feature. So C++ 20 rips it back out.
The key is "webview", so ignore the "react-native" part and insert "capacitor" or "ionic".

React-native doesn't let you easily reuse your webstack to build it. It's not a web view but a way to create a javascript controlled runtime for a native interface. In my experience it's a rewrite and every effort to share components between react-native and react-web hasn't panned out well.
People want to be able to author and share docs, directly in the browser and share with no effort. You cannot do this without JS, and the level of complexity is sufficient that you need robust tooling in order to manage it.
You keep up the good work here and you'll have to add "webdev" to your linked in before long

Who said stop? I said 'detect'.

DeepFakes have detectors, there are GPT-3 detectors already being developed and the same will happen with DALL-E 2 / Stable Diffusion. I won't be surprised to see someone develop such a detector for both of these AI tools as a research project.
Indeed. I'm most familiar with the US market so can't speak for European countries which may be different, but here's a graph of estimated vacant units held off-market against total housing units in the US:

"I find people who don't think exactly like me to be intolerable" is the bread and butter for controlling a population. People look at the past and think to themselves "those people in the past were wrong, that's why the one acceptable way to think being enforced with power was immoral, on the other hand, my opinions are right, so the ends justify the means".

Intolerance is intolerance, regardless of how morally justified you think it is.
