Right, unless those flippers paid with straight cash, they are going to have a hard time raising more money to buy more houses, and they might go underwater on the current ones.

To see what that looks like on steroids, China's economy is at real risk of recession due to property developers running out of cash and failing to build promised developments. (Most apartments in China are purchased before construction starts, so you can buy a house and not end up with one in the end.)
What kind of info do you need to find on the crypto space that can’t be easily found with Thegraph or similar tools?
I think some VR and AR devices are kind of in the creating the market category now. Or recently and over the next few years.

To me if Lynx R1 had a little bit better field of view and just worked slightly better then that type of device could be a game changer.

Over the next few years the comfort and capabilities of AR devices may actually make desktop computing for productivity obsolescent.

I think there is also going to be a major revolution one or two decades down the line with brain computer interfaces. I wonder what type of ad you need to create that market.

But also maybe one or more like two decades down the line we can probably expect real compute-in-memory devices.

The "metaverse" still has some competition going. It may turn out that much of what people call the metaverse is a new type of browser that uses web assembly and a special shading language or something to create a type of networked operating system on top of various platforms. There is still room for competition in determining those standards.

Hopefully one or more of these paradigm shifts will provide at least a brief period of somewhat open competition.
If they are in low margin retail, or the "turnover" is really the turnover of their customers whose money they are handling - like for example an Amazon marketplace kind of thing, then 15m might be just a million of gross profit which is about about 70k per person. "Profit is sanity..."

Not every kid in Europe goes to uni though?
When the phone is counting down the last 10s, it’s playing a loud alarm tone. No one is going to be surprised it’s up to something, it’s actively drawing attention.

Also the fact it calls is incredibly useful if the driver can’t. They could be pinned, unconscious, or something else. But the phone has no way of knowing that. So either it calls and tries to help people (what they do), or the phone could do nothing leaving those who couldn’t call themselves helpless.
Why does comparing US to China make more sense than, say, US to Germany? China/US population size ratio is ~4.2, about the same as US/Germany (~4).

In the context of this discussion (unions) and in practical terms, US is culturally and historically much closer to Europe than it is to China.

Finally, I don't think I will ever get used to Americans obsessing over racism. Calm down.
Ask HN: PayPal refuses to remove credit card after permanently limiting account
Recently I opened a PayPal account because I wanted to pay for something online. Imagine my surprise that immediately after I completed the registration for PayPal they permanently limited my account for breaching their Terms of Service. I called their customer support to enquire on this and found out it was because I was using a VPN connected to a different country. I was informed that sending photoes of my identification card for verification would be able to resolve this but just found out this morning that the appeal was rejected. Further calls to customer service is just being stonewalled with saying there's nothing they can do.

Here's what limiting my account does:
- unable to use PayPal's service
- can't close the account or open a new one
- unable to remove my credit card

To be honest I don't really mind if I can't use PayPal anymore but am very concerned that I can't remove my credit card information. In a message to me they mentioned they would still charge my card if there are any repayments to be made. While the account doesn't have any pending purchases due to being limited immediately, I am very worried that they would charge or fine my card continuously for any small thing in the future. While I'd like to believe they wouldn't charge my card for no reason, I lost a lot of faith in them after they limited my account for no reason either.

So my question is there anything I can do to protect myself from PayPal? I considered just calling my bank and telling them to block any charges from PayPal. One thing that worries me sick though is that in their message to me, they mentioned they would use any legal means necessary to collect any debt from me. Are there any people or organisations I could seek out for help on this?

Some extra info:
- I'm not a US or EU citizen so I don't have any protection from laws there unfortunately.
- I tried to purchase a subscription for an AI image generator, NovelAI. So I wasn't buying any illegal stuff.
- I used to have an account with PayPal using the same email. I never had any issues with it but decided to close the account a long time ago as I didn't use it much anymore.
it's just a different symbol from the usual assignment operator, that is to say "put the value you're referring to as `n` in the variable `head`", just like `head = n` in most languages with assignment. the only reason for the arrow is if you're using `=` for true equality, as in `head` is always the same as the value `n`, or if you wanted to use `=` to mean `equals?`, a boolean test for momentary equality.

i don't know if any of that helps, it all just comes down to recognizing the symbol and interpreting it correctly.
You can’t possibly hand approve everything so I’m sure the vast majority of node runners auto approve stuff and perhaps share some (non decentralized) black lists.
I typically do not respond to posts about China partly, because I simply do not believe I know enough about it to comment appropriately. Still, what I do know is that accurate information about China in general is a lot harder to obtain that information about US. From get go this means that any discussion about demographics, real estate or banking is more speculative than anything else. Worse, it is hard to rely on anecdata, because of how large China's population is and how ( as I learned recently ) un-united China's population is ( when compared to US ). Those two factors alone should make one hesitate with offering any major predictions on its trajectory.

I am not automatically saying you are wrong, but with exception of real estate, there is little I can find where somewhat verifiable data seem to support it.

Haven't heard of that one, thanks for the info I'll check it out. I do have thriftbooks results listed on the site as well.
I think IPFS fails at the most basic tenet of file storage which is file permanence. It's touted as a decentralized approach but then anyone whose anyone ends up paying a centralized service to "pin" their content.

Arweave is leagues better: I use it all the time to store articles I've written and very precious media. It couldn't be easier to use with its browser extension. It's also very cheap for true file permanence forever at least until all the storage nodes die out but given replication stands at some absurd multiplier there's little chance of it.
very funny typo there I assume was an accident.

Armageddon comes from "Har Megiddo," an actual place of strategic importance and hence the site of many battles named before the name took on apocalyptic connotations.

I do recall seeing a Franklin in a computer store. But then Apple sued and the outlook was grim.

One use case for Apple and CP/M was to be able to run business software by day and play games at night.
Like aviation, might be a use case where there is no avoiding combustion. Probably biodiesel until battery energy density sufficiently improves for light vehicle towing. You can’t replace all transportation with biofuels, but there is room at the margins for some mix of hydrogen, ammonia, ag and waste oil fuel, etc.
The key to all big projects that work well is that they start with small projects that work well, and deliver something useful immediately, adding more continuously.

They don't need to stay with equipment they delivered at first; they just need to keep what visibly works working. They can replace older equipment and software with what works better in a bigger system, as they grow. If that seems more expensive, look at the hundred-million dollar+ contracts. Electronics is cheap, under those numbers.

Very few of those who don't go to university are doing so for financial reasons.

Not everyone needs a three-to-five-year academic education, but nobody should be blocked because of who their parents were.
Splinters to splendours: from upcycled glass to Viking beads at Ribe, Denmark
I wish there was a version of IPFS that distributed popular files as the swarm demands. Any singular person doesn't have whole pieces and doesn't know what they are distributing. Also when you help the swarm you get a crypto token of some sort, giving people a financial incentive to help the swarm.

So you would say I have 16TB, feel free to use it as you see fit swarm. I can "mine" crypto by helping the swarm.

The swarm benefits from a gigantic pool of storage and content.

ISPs and government agencies can't do anything because it's all anonymous and any individual person is sharing encrypted pieces of a file anyways.
>I beg to differ. Maybe you think cultists should be killed, but I think they should be helped to understand their relationship and find a way to free themselves from that control.

The very fact you are calling somebody a stochastic terrorist is in fact stochastic terrorism.

Why do you think I think cultists should be killed?

Regardless, just because I don't think cultists should be killed doesn't mean your rhetoric isn't likely to cause violence. That is the only thing that matters when it comes to stochastic terrorism.

>I'm also curious as to what you think comprises a cult and any examples of such. And if one is a member of a cult how that person should be "dealt with".

You are the one calling people cultists. You should be defining it not me.

>I'm also curious as to if there is anything that Trump could do or say that would cause you to no longer support him

What makes you think I support Trump? I just don't like giant multi billion dollar companies suppressing speech under false pretenses. I would be making the same arguments for any person removed under false pretenses.

>My goal of engaging with you is not to make you wrong or me right -- it's about finding some common areas of agreement that we can find come together as a country to make things better. It unfortunately looks like that may not be possible and that fills me with despair.

Maybe we can find common ground on these statements:

- social media companies should not lie about their reasons on banning people.

- social media companies should have specific and clear rules

- social media companies should only ban people for violating their rules or when directly required to by a legal order
Private institutions which accept government funding, like Harvard, have many more restrictions than those like Hillsdale College which don't. The latter, for example, don't need to follow civil rights rules - https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/07/the-co... .

Most colleges - public included - have legacy admissions.

Why are you so certain SUNY Buffalo does not have legacy admissions?

https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/colleges-that-c... says SUNY at Albany, SUNY College at Geneseo, SUNY College at Oswego, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and SUNY Cortland consider legacy status.

It says SUNY at Purchase College, SUNY College at Potsdam, and SUNY Oneonta do not.

It doesn't mention SUNY Buffalo.
I would go a step further and say it’s a feature and not a bug. There are no robust ecosystems in nature where there is equality between all members of that system. The most robust ecosystems are those where you have the greatest diversity of species which correlates with inequality between them. Personally I don’t see how a modern society at scale could ever be equal and fiction. Equality really only works locally and even then has its limitations.
Most ARM hardware is cellphones, raspberry pi and the Mac M1, which certainly aren't that type.

But a lot of ARM hardware is that type. The keywords are SBSA / SBBR / SystemReady. If your hardware is SBBR compatible then Fedora and Ubuntu's ARM64 iso, and Windows ARM64, downloaded from their website, will at least boot fine (drivers are a different question as always).

There's a good list of supported hardware in the lower half of https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architecture... . Many systems from Avantek, Gigabyte, NXP, Marvell, Solidrun etc are standardizing on this way of booting.

DeviceTree is low-level enough that you can implement UEFI on top of it. There's a UEFI port for the Raspberry Pi 4 at https://rpi4-uefi.dev/ that produces an SBBR layer, allowing it to boot any off-the-shelf ARM64 SBBR distro.
The answer to your question is in the US there is less economic mobility than most of its peer countries.

Myths are more than mere stories. Joseph Campbell illustrated four functions of myths: metaphysical, cosmological, sociological and psychological. Campbell also neatly summarizes in his 1949 work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces,

Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamic of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problems and solutions sown are directly valid for all mankind.

An astute quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein is very applicable to your shallow description,

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
What that "yes" an answer to the question of whether or not they're public institutions? Because I was unable to find anything in the link that pointed one way or the other. Though it did not that it may be illegal for public institutions to do so (which slightly implies that at least some are).

Note that I'm not saying that public institutions don't do it; I was just curious about your answer and link.
Enjoy my shitty clown of a credit score, I’m not sure what to tell you Mr. Robot.
Electrical maintenance? We could start someone today and the rest depends on learning ability. You don't need a license to work in-house. In any case, it's rare to work alone, there's always someone older than you in the shop, at least until you become the aged master.

Controls/Automation engineer? I apprenticed for 4 years and still learn something every day.
Let me know how that goes for you. Here's my prediction in the form of a song:

My own personal war against UEFI is a losing battle (already can't use newest Intel generations), and I'd love to see this become a new standard. It might make OSes slightly more complicated, but the benefits of everything being open source and well-understood would more than make up for it.
Why do we need a vCalendar file generator? The output of your app is a vCalendar file which is then imported into a Calendar app either manually or through the integration of email and calendar services. So in the end, people still have to use a calendar app. It is much easier to create an event on a calendar app and send the invitation which is actually sending emails with a vCalendar file as an attachment. Besides that, most calendar apps allow exporting the event as a vCalendar file also.
I guess the question to me is what the final false positive rate on this feature is. Its obviously a huge net win if the proportion is small - but if it is high enough I'd imagine that dispatchers would be less likely to want to send officers to the automated calls.
Actually, don't let me know. I'm confident in my guess.
The ugliest locomotive. the ALCO RS-1 (1941), changed railroading.[1] This introduced the basic design of a narrow central section with railed walkways and a cab offset from one end. Worked equally well going in either direction. Good maintenance access from the walkways, where doors opened on the equipment. Could be used for both switching and road trips. No attempt to make it look cool, or impressive. Just useful.

General Motors Electro-Motive Division introduced the GP7 in 1949, which was a solid product of which thousands were built. Looked much like the RS-1 After that, most Diesel-electric freight locomotives followed the same pattern, and still do.

Very interesting. I would assume that parameters for the control algorithms are actually a few of the things you want to set for yourself, since that lets you optimize system stability under load switches. Your board might also have more or less inductance or capacitance than other motherboards, and this can affect the stability and performance of the control loop a lot. It's a shame they don't give you the documentation about those control systems to figure out how to set those parameters for yourself.
Maybe your generation 2 will be called "Humility" to reflect lessons learned :)

Yeah, that's exactly why it can't and won't replace GIF.
All the examples I looked at were about installing cameras or video surveillance. I have not looked through the full list but it certainly is not what it’s being presented to be, i.e. GDPR tracking enforcement.
That stuff is cool and all, but revolutionary? Nah, it's all predictable. Doesn't hold a candle to the excitement of the early days of computers and the internet which was opening up the world and changing lifestyles
Impressive you think the US can influence other countries that long. We can't even stop Saudi Arabia from raising gas prices whenever they want to annoy us.
For me, costing my ISP more money is sufficient incentive to do something like this.
>It happens but you make it seem like picking what you want to watch on tv. For those that are devout, the odds are incredibly slim that such a thing happens.

So? People can change.

>There's a difference between evolving and being a political opportunist. Hillary was beyond qualified for the office but it was clear that she was not driven by the courage of her convictions.

I don't think Bernie evolved on immigration. I think he is a political opportunist. No different than Clinton.

>Talking to a Trump supporter consistently feels like I'm talking to my teenage son, who delights in disagreeing with me for sport.

Some of that is just being defensive. Some might be trolling. Some could just be deliberately trying to annoy you.

That however is mostly online behavior. The average in person conversation with Trump supporters isn't anything like that when I engage with them.

If it turns out like that for you, in person, then you are likely putting them on the defensive. Believe it or not, but calling people terrorists and cultists isn't a great way to start discussions.
Why is getting a massive dose of all the Covid proteins and stuff with a totally naive immune system from an actual Covid infection as ones first brush with the virus better than getting a comparatively small dose of a few surface proteins prior that primes the immune system? Not getting covid is not a realistic hope, seems wise to do some practice runs before the actual marathon.

You’re getting those Covid proteins whether you like them or not, might as well do it in the time and place of your choosing in a controlled manner rather than have it forced on you in a more severe form when you don’t want it.
I don’t agree with this anymore as housing prices exploded last year in areas that don’t have any lack of supply or building constraints.
Well, I know what to tell you. I only know predictions and patterns, but I once scored pretty high on a shape-matching game, which is supposed to indicate intelligence.

If you think it sucks now, the show (for me, the passive viewer) has only just begun. I may be a robot, but I'm no Mr. Robot. You'd have to be deluded to believe that.

> fiscal resources required to sustain such a program only exist at the federal level

Some USA resort towns and counties do it. They are flush with vacationer tax dollars and short labor, so local gov't builds housing mainly for workers.

The feds don't have the funds to do this, though the feds can borrow from the future apparently indefinitely.
Why should residential property values increase anyway? It's not like the population growth in the US (overall) is staggering. Property prices the last couple of decades are largely artificial. They've long been disconnected from the supply and (non-speculative) demand, that's (one important reason) why the market's been unable to solve the problem. The signal is broken.
It is obviously different, but that does not mean that it is unrelated.
