Generally speaking pre-nuptial agreements in California mainly cover assets and income sources that a spouse had before the marriage. They wouldn't impact how a family law judge calculates imputed income for alimony or child support due to taking a higher paying job during the marriage. There are some additional complexities there so talk to an attorney if this is a concern for you. A post-nuptial agreement can also be an option.

> I really do not think that "uses a reverse proxy in the front" and "has a database and a cache store" is a factor.

These things matter at scale, but the typical Mastodon instance comes nowhere near that scale.

A reverse proxy is relevant beyond O(10k) RPS; less than that, and a single process directly serving requests is more suitable. A separate database is relevant beyond O(10M) records; less than that, and any embedded DB, or, frankly, direct filesystem access with any encoding format, is more suitable. A caching layer is relevant at the next order of magnitude for both of those dimensions; less than that, and there's no need.

Mastodon should, by default, ship as a single binary, statically compiled, with no runtime language requirements, and should manage its data storage requirements directly to disk.
You can do something like this via the browser by printing the page to PDF then using Inkscape to convert that to SVG. I documented this here: https://www.checkbot.io/article/web-page-screenshots-with-sv.... There's a few caveats though like box-shadows getting converted into bitmaps and vectors not being grouped in layers like you'd expect, plus it's heavyweight if you're wanting to script it.

I'm curious if Satori could be used to capture in-app client-side screenshots accurately.
Popular files gain more hosts seeding. Rather than a page getting hard to access when its getting slammed with viewers, it should in theory become even faster.

You don't add them manually, its just when you open up a link in your browser or video player, it gets stored for some amount of time and seeded before perhaps being pruned or kept forever depending on the users preference. You don't have any issues with unknowingly hosting illegal files this way.

This is why rent control is actually a good thing and not a bad thing. Rent control allows you to set the rate of acceptible rent increases for a given tenant. This means you can peg rent increases to the rate of wage increases, and prevent gouging. Couple it with zoning reforms and there would be no need to gouge anything; hard to gouge for water bottles someplace unless there is a lack of them available on the shelves, for example, and housing is no different. Zoning is the real source of a lack of supply in cities; these cities are built to the limits of zoned capacity even with rent control policies in effect, so that argument that rent control stifles development goes out the window in reality, since we see that every lot in a supply constrained city is typically already developed to the limits of what is allowed by these zoning laws, even if they are rent controlled.

If you want to avoid ubi being eaten to these sources, you need to acknowledge what mechanisms are being used to gouge people of their needs, and ameliorate them by allowing new entrants to enter the market currently dominated by existing players (in this case existing landlords, who would prefer to have their prices march up and up without having to invest in redevelopment to add more rentable units on their lot, than to have more competition and pressure to keep prices at a minimum level). Just like with water during a hurricane, the government can use laws like rent control to prevent this gouging, and reforms like increasing the zoned capacity of a given area to meet the number of workers in the given area to incentivize "delivering more waterbottles" so to speak as the only way to increase the quarterly profit of your lot (versus leaving it relatively undeveloped compared to demand and taking advantage of the resulting supply dearth you've artificially created).
You don't have to know the solution to a problem to know when a proposed one isn't it.
I think it's a lot more stupid to assume that laws put in place to allow for single fire muskets that took significant amounts of time to load and fire should automatically equally apply to machine guns.

We should be able to draw a clear and logical line between the kinds of guns the people who wrote the constitution envisioned the American people owning and the kinds of guns we have today, but obviously not everyone agrees with that. They all agree there is a difference and that lines exist, but feel that they should just be ignored.
If I set rent to 3k a month for a old 600 sqft apartment no one will move in. If someone is paying 1.8k for that and I raise the rent to 3k they will move.

Landlords increase the rent to the maximum that people are willing to pay. You can dress up a unit and maybe get a little more but no one will pay you 5k a month for a 600 sqft unit last updated in the 80s. If they will then you have a housing shortage and you need to let landlords and builders build.

>> PCC is also known to treat employees relatively poorly, just like grocery chains.

I've heard this about every employer in Seattle. Forever, Costco had a great rep, now you can't mention it anywhere without people shitting on it. Starbucks used to give out benefits and was heralded, now being crapped on. Gravity Payments, lol at the founder's recent news stories.

And so forth. A lot of them are with good reason, but I'm pretty sure there's a strong sentiment in this city that "all management is bad management" even in employee-owned stores. Winco is a good example of that.

I mention that my employment at Microsoft was pretty good, despite being caught up in numbers-based layoffs, and people harshly wonder how I can speak well of a former employer who terminated my job without warning.

It's hard to take all the criticism all that seriously, to be honest.

No, they are not floating, yet this author uses this word to describe chinampas.

Anyway, as a side note, I would say that a “modern” technology that somewhat mimics this is aquaponics. This method can be very powerful as it feeds off stacking biodiversity, just like the chinampas.
I’m not assuming milk chocolate. :-)

To answer your question: I think milk chocolate is about just as popular in Germany and the Nordic countries, so perhaps you don’t have to be very American.

Chocolate and almonds are both quite healthy in the right doses. I mean the chocolate that’s isn’t mixed with methamphetamines, just to be absolutely clear. ;-)

> The point of Wine is to run older Windows software.

Is this really true? What “newer” Windows software would not run under Wine “in principle”? (And, for that matter, what older Windows software wouldn’t run on Windows itself?)
Windows APIs have a whole operating system to support, including all the new features. Microsoft rarely breaks backwards compatibility (so no 'sacrificial' APIs), but that doesn't mean there couldn't be some performance regressions or the like under newer versions. Windows went as far as changing COMMCTL32.DLL and similar just because of new Office versions.

Wine "only" has to run apps and nothing else. The older APIs are the most battle-tested and optimized. On the other hand, you may find suboptimal behavior on newer APIs that weren't exercised enough.
Iirc there was a pilot done in South Korea where they gave citizens of a town a kind of UBI but it was only spendable on local stores. So you couldn't use it to buy online on amazon for example.

Industrial revolution has extorted workers and not benefited them?
It is not true at all.
Uhhhh, Imma suggest you don't know what an ad hominem attack is.

Ad Hominem comes from latin "To the person." It is when you attack the person rather than their argument. When you call the author stupid, you're ignoring her argument and attacking her person/character. You could call the argument stupid (and then hopefully go on to elaborate why you think it's stupid), and that would avoid it. But as long as you're commenting on the writer's intelligence, you're guilty of an ad hominem fallacy. It's also subjective and not rigorous. There's no way to measure "stupid".

The fact the writer is writing about her own experiences doesn't make it okay to insult them. It just means you have to separate why their experiences don't justify their beliefs.

> So, saying it’s ok for cops to murder George Floyd because Candice Owens convinced me he wasn’t a good guy is an example of an ad hominem attack.

I think you're talking about the Candace Owens bit as being ad hominem? The tricky piece of this, is that 'bad' is so vague that it could be properly labeling an outlook from our legal system or it could be, as you say, an ad hominem attack. It doesn't matter what George's character was because he should be innocent until proven guilty. But at the point he's guilty, he might be considered "bad". None of that is justification for what happened to him, so I think you might be correct that it's an ad hominem, but it's murky at best.

"Easily swayed by faulty logic" is a much better statement about the author, that I would agree with. It's also not an ad hominem, because it doesn't denigrate the author's character, because the same could be true of people who fall for phishing scams. There's nothing inherently character assassinating about having faulty logic. Whereas "stupid" is a subjective pejorative.

Rent control suppresses new housing creation by reducing returns on investment. Zoning is only one half of the equation: you also need developers willing to build housing. Price controls limiting rental rates reduce the return developers would make [1], thus disincentivizing new housing construction.

1. Arguing that rent control doesn't suppress development because it only affects rent increases is misleading. Developers are operating on a decades-long investment horizon, so the fact that long-term renters are going to be underpaying within a few years is definitely a factor taken into account.

The loop is so tight now between research work and pop-culture imagining their own version of what the research implies. It seems like one consequence of that is that there is more stuff that people have a lay-understanding of, and that understanding is more detached from reality than ever before.

Maybe 20 years ago, someone would say "hey I know about this" rarely, but when they did they'd have some actual insights and understanding of the topic. Now everybody "knows" about popular tech topics like transformers or lol "exponential" stuff, but that knowledge is just some silly LinkedIn regurgitation that has nothing original to contribute and is completely disconnected from the reality of the topic. I see this almost daily wrt AI on HN, I assume that it's basically universal

If ported to ARM it could become quite a thing in embedded development. I'm not thinking about the latest Macs (although... why not?) but rather very small and cheap embedded boards where Linux could be either too resource hungry or overkill.
On these small boards a very light GUI oriented OS like SerenityOS and a set of gfx libraries and primitives could be the right tools to make appliance control panels, instrumentation, etc, and of course general computing.

I will say I wish there was more support for 'seated in a recliner' gaming, as that's my preferred way to play VR games when it's not an exercise app like Beat Saber. I even tried to play BoneLab seated for a while but it kept wanting me to reach down into the seat of the recliner to grab ammo, so it became a bit impossible (wasn't too bad besides that, though, just had to stand up to grab a few things).

I actually have an issue where my right thigh starts burning like crazy if I stand in place for too long (walks are just fine, I can go for miles no problem, but if I mostly stand in place it starts being an issue until I sit down for a bit). I don't know exactly what causes it, but I'm guessing it's probably related to a known bulging disc in my lower back, pinching the nerve a bit.

There's quite a few games that are good for 'seated in an executive chair', like where you can still spin around to react to things behind you, but several of those games don't really let you spin using the motion controller for if you're in a non-spinning chair (some do, I'm thankful for those). Also I've noticed that several games have height adjustment for sitting but for some reason the limits they set on it are too small and/or you have to go into a menu to adjust it. There are times in a game where I mostly want it to be a certain height, but something fell on the ground or at some weird position that's just out of a comfortable height for sitting, so I want to adjust it real quick to grab something and reset it back, but there's not a good way to do it.

I'm not saying you have to do these things, but the games that have a good 'sit in a chair that doesn't swivel' experience get played a lot more than my other games, especially if it's a story driven game. I even play Ragnarock (viking drumming game) more than Beat Saber some weeks, to get my arms moving without having to stand mostly in place.
Yet in Redmond, which has a median income almost 40% higher than Seattle [1], apartments are cheaper. There's no price-fixing by landlords based on incomes, it's supply and demand. There's less desire to live in Redmond, so an equally sized unit is cheaper despite higher incomes.

It's hard to say. That's the problem with privacy violations. If a store charges you more than the next person for the same item they aren't going to tell you that it's because of data they bought from some third party and there's no telling where that third party got your data from or how accurate it is.

If someone goes to china and they get disappeared the Chinese government isn't going to tell anyone that they were taken let alone that it was because of data they got by surveillance of their mobile device.

Thomas Jefferson viewed them as equals and wanted to prevent white settlers from going west of the Mississippi and allow the native Americans to stop warring and enslaving each other, trade and develop schools etc . Perceptions changed later in the 19th century as did policies but the White Americans had been interacting with natives for 250 years by then . It’s not a monolithic attitude and it’s an oversimplification to say they were seen as inferior

Paying for MS Windows is not a problem. If I could just throw money at Microsoft and have all the apps I need running on Linux, I would have. I suspect many people (and specially orgs) would have done that too.

> It pays a lot of attention tp running old(er) popular software smoothly.

Nah. It pays attention to popular software, period. Because that's how contributions normally work. The more people interested, the more likely a patch will land. It can take significant effort to run some software. That takes time. By the time it's running perfectly, it's "old" software.

It just needs effort. One of the bad things about the Stadia demise is that some of the work done on the titles themselves benefit Wine. For example, Cyberpunk was perfectly playable on launch day.
