I'm always leery when primitives mention their speed as a selling point because I'm thinking about the memory and CPU/GPU/ASIC costs required for adversary X years from now. Sure, one can hash or encrypt using N repeated rounds to up the cost but still: speed isn't everything.
The building by hand thing is a bit of distraction to be honest. In the UK we already know we can build 'ok' housing for £2k per sqm, all in. Land is a minimum of /Half/ the cost of a new build house, and frankly that is probably on the outskirts of some run down town in the midlands or something. Build in a populous, prosperous city and well you can imagine what portion of a £800k 50Sqm apartment is building cost, maybe 10% or so.

It's the land with building permission which is scarce and insanely expensive. If you have a house in an area then you are motivated to block/object to all planning applications locally. Including lobbying your MP, campaigning and so on.
This is inaccurate. Rent control as defined in NYC is a wealth transfer mechanism. Rent stabilization is a mechanism for protecting tenants.

Without rent stabilization, landlords can and do raise rents arbitrarily to drive our particular renters and then offer better rents to preferred renters. Or equally likely drive out a family to subdivide an apartment into multiple rooms to rent.

If you pass laws that say, for example, you have to offer a renewal to an existing tenant, that doesn’t help, they’ll just play the same game with the rent. Mandate that the same rent has to be offered to new and existing? Well now we are in the realm of price controls.

The power dynamic is so massive between landlords and tenants, especially for people who aren’t fortunate enough to have disposable income, that there needs to be some sort of protection.
The number of people per household in the United States is 2.49. Or each home has 2.5 people living in it.

So when I hear the rallying cry for ‘build more homes’, if we double the number of households in America..are we going to have one home per person? Are we going to be a nation of single people? That’s a bleak future for population demographics and effectively proof of dissolution of family units.

Do we have a population distribution issue or do we have a housing shortage issue?

Maybe it’s time to evenly distribute households and job centers across America so we can manage resource efficiently of ‘build more’. Like why?

Our resources are limited and infrastructure is breaking down. Maybe we should build infrastructure and manage resources before building homes.
I'm just talking about doing the stuff that anybody can figure out to do. You purchase materials, and you hire craftsmen to do the hard stuff. I'm also not talking about getting a house for free, I'm talking about boring house prices that track inflation rather than exciting house prices that track bitcoin.
Yes. You could, for example, allow a measured particle to interact with an isolated measuring apparatus of varying size - from a few atoms to a macroscopic object - and see how the size affects the system - so you get evidence of decoherence?

Also, many worlds interpretation as it currently exists is already falsified by its incompatibility with gravitational nonlinearity.
1. Refuse to fund enforcement of disability protections, and require citizens to crowdsource it via a bounty program.

2. Label anyone who tries to enforce it an “ADA abuser” and claim they are misusing the system to make money.

3. Disability protections are successfully ignored, corporations make more profit.

Usually there’s a “???” in the middle, but this one is pretty straightforward.
I use pyinfra for my personal projects and I love it. Compared to Ansible it's a breath of fresh air. Ansible is very straightforward to start with, but quickly devolves whenever you step off the beaten path, and you end up with a tangled mess of unintelligible YAML after a while. Pyinfra is just Python. If you can read Python, you can understand what the deployment module is doing.
If you omit the decrement, it's an infinite loop for n>1, presumably, you are detecting that?
Netflix has the concept of a "Netflix household".

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/124925

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think "legal" address bears any weight here. According to the Netflix definition, they would likely consider your kids to not be part of the same "Netflix household" as you.
I mean I agree, but we're long past that. Freedom of association doesn't exist anymore, and the downstream effects of that are deeply rooted in what most people think is "normal".

Just do be aware that if the problems get too big the property management firm will walk, leaving you with the bag.

Insurance can only do so much to protect against that, but the worst case scenarios are thankfully relatively rare.
In the particular case of the "miles driven", what's wrong with the average? Is it because the amount of power used by an individual with an EV differs from being proportional to the distance they drive with it, in a way that matters when aggregated?

Like, if the distance amount a randomly selected person drives has some distribution, then, if power use was proportional to distance traveled, then E[(energy use)] = E[k * (distance traveled)] = k * E[(distance traveled)],
and, average energy use is total energy use divided by number of people, which is the same as the expectation of the energy use of a randomly selected person,
so, total energy use would be (number of people) * k * E[(distance traveled)] .

So, therefore, if that's not true, then one of the assumptions in the argument must not be true,
so therefore, (energy use) must not be k * (distance traveled).

Now, not being exactly the same, that's expected, yes. Like, there should be terms relating to e.g. "how long people are stopped at traffic lights", stuff associated with whether they use the car at all that week, etc. ,
but, nothing from that jumps out at me as something which obviously would make the shape of the distribution of "how much each person drives" beyond just "how much does a person drive on average", matter a whole lot.

I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm saying, even considering it, nothing jumps out to me as a reason it should be obvious.

Traditional pension plans should work better than individual retirement investments because they pool participants. Individuals have to invest enough to get the payout for their longest reasonable life expectancy. A pension fund can rely on statistics and not be funded enough for every participant to live the longest time.

Emphasis on the word should. Humans are bad at managing huge amounts of money.
NestDrop and the dome look amazing! I found the Cream of the Crop presets thru that project. If that's your work too THANK YOU.

Unfortunately the NestDrop windows dependency doesn't work for me now, but we're on the same wavelength.

My workflow uses OBS to preview presets on top of videos to make sure the patterns will look great with alpha / luma filter in VJ stuff, as well as OBS to record.

that's a stretch. sure you might need to save to see Megadeth or Beyoncé or some huge act but there is tons of music from smaller artists that still charge very reasonably.

at some point, you'll have an impossibly large fan base to entertain, and with that comes huge ticket prices
I'll explain it to you. 4k requires relatively expensive equipment and relatively expensive internet connection.

So the reasoning is as follows: What's the average income of people interested in 4k streaming? The answer is "of our subscribers they tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum" then why not upcharge them given that they are in the segment that's both interested and wealthy enough to pay for it.

4k 1 screen would have to be cheaper than the current 4k 4 screens, therefore you'd be losing money because a portion of people in that wealthy segment would be effectively downgrading their plans.

The alternative point of view is "how many people wealthy enough and interested in 4k do not have a Netflix account?" I would assume they probably think most everyone in this segment does have Netflix. These are probably the kind of people that have all streaming services.

If you look at Netflix strategy they're not trying to capture more people from the top; as they already have them. They're trying to capture low income people and so it makes much more sense for them to offer cheaper plans with ads rather than cheaper "premium" plans.

Hope that makes sense.

>Maybe because the long tenure with an employer went away in the 70's when we started off-shoring everything?

Maybe because people started moving around in their careers a lot more than in the 1970s when you had one job for life?

We employ far more people, at higher wages (especially for women and minorities, and certainly with higher benefits (BLS tracks total cost to employ - check the historical data) than the 1970s. So maybe that offshoring really did not move many jobs overseas. Most jobs moved to automation (the US only lost top producer of goods rank somewhat recently - except most of that production is automated now).

Also, pensions never covered many people. Far more people retiring have 401ks now than had pensions at their peak.

This is kind of a false dichotomy. Taking everyone at face value is one of the dumbest thing you can do on the internet. Assuming there are exactly 0 paid posters in your forum, there are still plenty of people who are enthusiastic trolls and bad faith actors because that’s just how they have fun. Letting those people go unchallenged is a recipe for a community that’s dominated by malignant narcissist.
Lovely. Reminds me of about:mozilla; it scared me the first time I read it a long time ago... I thought it was some kind of cult and I was now part of it.
Again with the declarative statements. This is a site owned by people who made choices you don't like. I get that. But, adults get told to moderate their behaviour in real life, and it's not always obnoxious. It's a debatable point. So far, you seem to me to be capable of needing to be told to back off. I know I need it too sometimes, I think it's quite adult to be able to take hints, even machine generated ones.

Which never were given to many people (so SS was the biggest source of income, even then), were insolvent, and make little sense for the mobility of a modern job market. I'd much rather get paid more, put that money into multiple places and plans I control, so if my company folds, I am not left with nothing.

And the historical evidence is that pensions were not what people now assume they were.

This is sad, someone has an experience different from yours and you say "your story seems fake". At least accuse them of something that makes sense, like shilling iPads or something. You picked a part of the story that seems possibly realistic.

When I was in school and university, I wrote notes all the time that I didn't reference, the act of writing things down helped me learn. Reading the notes back didn't really help me learn at all. Rewriting the notes, on the other hand, that really helped.

I don't think writing notes on an iPad would really make any difference for me tbh, if I'm writing something to be referenced, typing it up is better. If I'm writing something not to be referenced, it barely even matters how I write it.
What is the name of this disease?
Right: nobody, not even billionaires, can afford to do this ever again. Seems like a win condition to me.
I agree. I had the same realization and couldn’t not fathom spending 10$/mo on a data only line for the iPad. Saved 120$/yr

If the iPad and your iPhone are on the same iCloud or iCloud family account simply turning on the hotspot on your iPhone will allow your iPad to automatically connect if the iPad is configured to auto accept or you get a prompt to connect to the hotspot.

If I have my iPad I have my iPhone and if I have both I probably at minimum have my slim anker portable charger and an extra cable and anker wall charger.
> Not with any attitude: what you and the phone sysadmins propose is, effectively, to eliminate all shared DNS caching from the Internet. A beautiful dream! But that's all it is.

No, a local caching resolver (with or without DNSSEC verification enabled by default) would talk to the upstream DNS server by default, like a stub resolver, so it benefits from the upstream DNS server cache.
I wrote a 1.2 Swing desktop app with a JNI DLL to call Win32 to create a desktop shortcut. The hilarious part is it violated the EULA because a JRE was shipped and ran from a CD. It took about 30 seconds to load, so it seemed very important. :) It was themed with a JPG in the background to paint the window object's canvas.
I almost grabbed an ARM on one refinance because the maximum amount it could jump at each adjustment was 1%.

Years ago my dad took an ARM at 18% because the anti-usury laws limited the maximum it could go to 20% and it turned out to drop each adjustment period after that (80s wheeee)
But this does contradict your point that "nobody installs apps from outside of Google Play". And, if they're installing something like a loyalty app, they won't care very much whether that QR code leads to Google Play or to an apk. The process is really no different than running an .exe you downloaded on your computer.

There is a tale - perhaps apocryphal - handed down between generations of AWS staff, of a customer that was all-in on spot instances, until one day the price and availability of their preferred instances took an unfortunate turn, which is to say, all their stuff went away, including most dramatically the customer data that was on the instance storages, and including the replicas that had been mistakenly presumed a backstop against instance loss, and sadly - but not surprisingly - this was pretty much terminal for their startup.

Caveat operator.

Nothing in this article is specifically related to forum posts. This stuff can be found within any gathering of people and most have been described way earlier than the internet, as far back as the original Forum or Agora. That is not what is wrong with it.

If you read the article and think there is something to it, please read it again and compare all the 'evidence' to the behavior of what you suspect a normal forum user would do: Ask questions? Gather information? Establish rapport? Propose something stupid or dangerous? Comment on the wrong thing? Post something that leads people away from the post you are interested in and have so much people comment on it that your important information disappears. You can get that just by the number of people telling the original poster it is 'off-topic'. Yes you would expect normal users to do all of them some of the time.

If you value your (online) community judge all actions by Hanlon's razor: "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". If malice was that easily distinguishable from normal behavior there would be a lot less of it. Don't let anyone tell you you should approach your community with suspicion, because then they are already halfway there in destroying it.

You can find them but they’re rare, because it messes up the resale of the loan.

There has to be some misinterpretation going on here (or David Deutsch just hasn't thought this through). You can have a quantum computer in a superposition of states, but that isn't many worlds; to have many worlds, the computer has to interact with the outside world and split the outside world into a corresponding superposition of states. Such interaction with the outside world prevents a quantum computer from functioning - and it's precisely such information leakage to the outside world that is a major difficulty when trying to scale up quantum computers.

> California could vote for a 0% tax rate today via their ballot referendum system and yet it hasn’t happened.

For the state as a whole, sure; I think people can see the problem with that. If you let people vote for an 0% tax for just their town, with the rest of the state staying the same, it'd be a different story.
HN makes it easy to stifle dissent with "flag" and graying out a comment until it is "dead". That's why I always browse with "showdead" set to "yes." Most of the dead comments deserve it, but some of them are quite interesting but don't match the values of the HN community. I've been "killed" a couple times when I didn't think I deserved it. I'm a contrarian by nature, but I value HN too much to feel bad about it. There are other places to discuss sensitive topics.
One can seek $X dollars, but collecting is another story. He'll probably declare bankruptcy at some point, if he hasn't already.
He should get credit for investigating and building a story around it. But there were calls from the scientific community, and in discussions here on HN, for Theranos to open up and show their data, way before he started investigating. The fact that Silicon Valley VCs, with one notable exception, passed on investing, speaks for itself.

I agree, I still think it's a reasonable word to include in the instructions though.

What you don't want is them holding back how much they co-operate with the red team in the drill because they think that's how they would act, or they'd like others to think that's how they would act. Even if it is how they would act, you'd presumably like to know that your security measures would still work even if someone else was in their positions. But also, it's pretty obvious that no-one (or very very few people) know how they'd really act in that sort of situation.

I thought (edit: And still think, but acknowledge that it is not yet a well thought out plan) putting that word in was a nice short form way of achieving that goal, though in a real drill you'd want to communicate a whole lot more about that than the 3 words I used. And probably also communicate that were this to happen in a non-drill form, that you don't expect them to resist.

Incidentally, it's hard for me to imagine that there are many organizations outside of the military / national security that include armed invasion of their offices in their threat model, though I suppose some multinational corporations might.
If you’re implying that they must have been mostly vaccinated because most people were vaccinated then you would have to also assume that most of the control group was vaccinated as well.

There is non-linearity in the evolution operator though - it's called gravity. It's why MWI in its trivial form is falsified - though with a linear theory of everything (potentially string theory) - it might be possible.
