Having worked for a short time in the back office of a large apartment complex, all I can say is, "good."

You wouldn't believe the ways that rent rates is manipulated by these companies and their computers. I've always wanted to write about it, but I think I would get sued into oblivion.
Prop 13, however, doesn’t apply to sales tax.
Seriously.

Many countries' establishments have a fear of lying, due to the repercussions of what happens if they were caught. That is the very reason why Soviet establishment chose not to lie, as we see from the period's records. Which made their propaganda much less effective compared to the emotional manipulation - especially atrocity propaganda - that Angloamerica uses.

Lying is an establishment practice in Angloamerica only because Angloamerican public uses ignoring their own lot's offenses and directing their ire at external enemies as a way to create and protect group cohesion. They are not dumb. They believe the lies that they are told willingly for that purpose and ignore the offenses of those who perpetuate them for the above reason. That's why the entire administrations who lied about things like Iraqi WMDs, Vietnam etc and murdered tens of millions of people over 30-40 years are still on top of the establishment instead of getting persecuted.

The history of the atrocity propaganda as a policy tool in Angloamerica goes back to Elizabethan England, which used a lot of smears against its Spanish enemies and it worked. In the following centuries, we see the English establishment using lies about external enemies and atrocity propaganda as a means to scare the English to support the aristocratic regime and justify wars. From the war of Jenkins' Ear to whatever example one may pick. "Evildoers are about to beat our fleet and invade our islands" is the constant propaganda in between 1560-1760.

In World War I, atrocity propaganda was institutionalized - there was no other way to justify a millions of commoners dying for aristocratic monarchies whose monarchs were cousins among themselves. So was invented the "Germans murdered and raped babies in Belgium" lie, which STILL goes on today with many people believing that Germans actuall did that.

It worked very well for Britain in Ww I. From that point on, Britain never let go of atrocity propaganda and lies, and the US copied a lot of their practices. Iraqi WMD case is just a trifle compared to the constant lying, smearing and 'wag the dog' cases over ~100 years of recent history.
Mate, the reason TODCO makes money is that they get paid[0] for the government for providing affordable housing. The amount they get paid is proportional to the difference between the rate they charge and the current market rate. This is supposed to last a certain amount of time after which they have to run through some statutory rehab thing which need not do anything meaningful, at which point they just start collecting again.

So, to be clear, we are currently paying them to not go away, so you're going to have to come up with something truly exceptional to get them to go away.

It seems that things changed since I last looked. The public repo hasn't been updated in a year: https://gitlab.com/escargot-chat/server

I wonder why they closed the source. Even if there is no 'benefit' to the team, sharing the source guarantees the longevity and preservation of MSN Messenger. That benefits the future, as well as everyone interested in MSN now.
Given our history, I would say race is far more interesting. And we need those clicks. The media is simply responding to the incentives.

It’s all of our fault. If we didn’t click on it, they would stop publishing it.
My completely naive take: if something is X AU away from the planet, why wouldn’t the tiniest course change result in missing the Earth by a huge margin? Even a fractional alteration of momentum in any off axis direction seems like it would have the desired effect.

It feels like smashing any available rocket into the side of a non accelerating body would be effective, but space physics is weird, so I must be missing something.
My idea of this is only anecdotal but anyone I personally know involved with occupy couldn't give a shit who is in what bathroom.

Prop 13 is not a national problem. In most parts of the country, municipal governments are incentivized to support residential housing.
"White privilege" is like a DSM-5 diagnosis. It's only brought up with a treatment (or remedy) in mind. It's intended more as a tool to bring about a particular outcome, and less as a description of a scientifically measurable reality.

I don't object to the use of "white privilege" to attempt an objective description of reality.

I do object to the notion that more discrimination on the basis of race is the answer. You don't solve a structure fire by adding gasoline.
Interesting; I didn't think the article author was "pretending they're so surprised" about anything. Do you have any reason to think that they've expressed opposing views in the past?
Interesting but the usual 'moving closer to reality'
Thinly veiled nationalism still dominates Angloamerica. The proposition of any evildoing except the most blatant and undeniable one (like the Iraqi WMD case), triggers their self-defense instincts that make them defend their group cohesion and the social group they identify with.

So, if the correct behavior was known, why did you not write a test asserting the correct behavior? I understand that it can get complicated, just legitimately curious if the behavior could or could not be easily captured by the test suite.

Mushrooms pulled me back from the precipice of suicide, I will never stop advocating for their usage and legalisation - but this is dangerously wrong.

At worst they can shoot you into a horror space from which you will not return, and that needs to be considered before taking them.

There's also a danger zone (Lana) in between a medium dose and a large dose, in which you're not so incapacitated as to be immobile, but too incapacitated to accurately judge reality.
I don't think that's true at all. Class and economics in America are fascinating.
BBC often has a clickbait headline on their main page that differs from the actual article title when you click though. So if you post it to HN copying the title and link from the front page it's easy to make this mistake. I checked and it looks like that's what happened here, rather than intentional editorializing by the poster.
> If you could capture the public's attention and make tons of money focusing on class, someone would do it and dominate discourse

Well...Both Bobby Kennedy and MLK tried to shift the narrative and...the only thing they dominated was the graveyard.

Point made. Lesson taught. And learned.

re: Misguided focus??

Lol. You missed the point. They are lazer focused on...exactly what they're told and paid to stay focused on.

Else it's negligence and incompetence and that just doesn't make sense.
inventory “co-mingling” is a myth invented by fantasist. If that’s true, then any merchant could send in fake items to Amazon Warehouse then request them returned so there will be legitimate items exchanged in.
SQL tables are not actually sets at all since you can insert duplicate rows! In practice they usually are though.
I don't care what they are happy to pay for. There are plenty of other tools available to protect the interests of companies. For example Levandowski stole trade secrets and is being sued for 9 figures and indicted. You couldn't have picked a worse example of the need for post employment non-competes if you tried.

Likewise your other example is an employee taking an employees money and their customers at the same time. It would have been sufficient to bar him from competing and working against the employers interests WHILE he was there.

If he had quit and called prior customers and said I know you do business with blank but I can do better would that really have been wrong?
Apple and Amazon both show ads and make a lot of money from it. You think Apple's 'privacy' changes are for actual privacy and not to undercut a competitor?
This is an argument I have with some of my more lefty friends.
There are problems that have no legislative solution.
I saw this as someone who has voted blue no matter who..

Sometimes the current left wing of the Dems work at cross purposes to themselves. On the one hand we need to legislate laws for everything, and on the other hand enforcing laws is discriminatory & abusive and whats a little broken windows here & there, you have to crack some eggs to make an omelette!!

My favorite example is all the gun control rhetoric in NYC while at the same time the Manhattan DA announced he was not going to seek jail terms for non-violent illegal gun possession charges. "LOL nothing matters" is how it feels.
> Is "Month" a 1-based month ordinal? A 0-based month index?

Unlike with an bare int, a "Month" type has places to actually document all that. So your counter argument, which is entirely the same for an int anyway, is utterly absurd.

> This works until some jerk buries it in #ifdef soup and causes your IDE to lie.

I don't really know what your point even is here. Your ide or code base is bad, therefore everyone should share your pain?

If your ide can't resolve it then go look up the docs the old fashioned way. It's the same end result of a wrapper type being vastly superior to a bare int. I can make a comment in a header or a man page or whatever for a "Month" type to answer all your questions. I could never do the same for an "int" variable.

It really sounds like you're just wanting to obsessively nitpick the specific example of "Month" than anything about what the guideline is even saying. If you're just too lazy to make a Month then sure knock yourself out. But at least be honest that you're just being lazy in the now with a hope it doesn't bite you later, don't pretend you're making an actually better or more readable decision. We all take the lazy out from time to time.

Has that actually ever been a reliable truth, or are people finally waking up to the fact that it never really was?
I don't think that's true. But the data does show that if you control for most factors, race still plays a factor. That is, it's better to be poor and white than poor and black. That said, I'd rather be a black billionaire than dirt poor and white.
You mean district heating and district cooling? That has been invented but requires a certain density.
Stopped buying from Amazon for any household products after getting a fake hummingbird feeder and fake castor oil (was opened and repackaged canola oil). Just can't trust them to send you the real name-brand product and not something knockoff or fake.
There's a (conspiracy) theory out there which describes this as intentional. If society is focused on race, it will continue being divided, which is more-or-less going to ensure that peasants won't unite and/or revolt.

You can see this across companies at a lower level (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/04/amazon-lab... and https://archive.ph/1khJw). Discussions about race will suck all the air out of the proverbial room, will sow division and create resentment. Regardless of political color, people will always have a tiny bit of resentment when it comes to stuff like affirmative action. So instead of being mad at their boss, they're going to be mad at their colleague (who's completely innocent in this) and slowly but surely start accepting right-wing narratives as truth. Holy crap, even more division, right? Nice.
Nothing new to sell? As long as time keeps ticking Apple will keep announcing the new Apple N+1 and N+1 Pro. And people will keep buying them.

Every adult in the modern world has a smartphone and buys a new one every 2.5 years. Apple sells what is seen as the most premium device, with high margins.

> Who is ranting about the free market. Republicans?

The US, the UK, all its satellites. It was 40 years of 'free trade and free market for all' cacophony. Everyone were either persuaded to it, or were coup'ed or bombed into doing it.

But now that the US is losing the competition, voila, suddenly free market is not cool anymore.

But its ok - the US can bring back protectionism and mercantilism under the excuse 'national security'. No one will bat an eye in Angloamerica.

> - The comment implies that one side is morally right and the other isn't.

The comment does not imply that. It outright says that. The US has been pushing 'free market' down everyone's throats. Now that it is losing the competition, its literally eating its own words. That's morally wrong.

> This comment is boiling the situation down and decades of (complex) context

There is no complex context in this. The US has always employed double-speak. It was 'free market for me, not for thee'. Even the closest allies were subjected to tariffs and quotas in order to be able to export anything to the US even at the heyday of 'free market'. So it was doublespeak from the start.

Today, we just see the dropping of the public facade of something that the US was always doing. Japanese would know - they got the Plaza Accords. China is bad, because it did not even entertain signing any such sociopathic document.
What Is the CIA Triad in Cybersecurity?
The exact financial situation of OpenSSL has always been unclear to me; they don't seem to publish financial reports, and get income from various sources (donations, consulting, sponsored work). The references on that Wikipedia page don't contain the claims in the article, and last year they hired a dev and manager[1], and this year a "Business Operations Administrator"[2], which seems to suggest they have more financial resources than what's suggested on the Wikipedia page.

I've always been somewhat skeptical that funding (or rather, the lack thereof) is main reason for OpenSSL's problems. The whole funding thing is mainly a question of fairness, rather than security or quality.

Certainly heartbleed was IMHO not really caused by a lack of funding. It was an experimental extension that no one really used and no one really needed either that was nonetheless enabled by default. That was just a bad call, which happens – live and learn – but no amount of monetary units can protect you from mistakes like that. The entire heartbeat code ended up being removed in 2019 as no one used it.

I remember how many years it refused to save route preferences like "avoid tolls" or "avoid highways". You would have to set them anew for each route search.
tl;dr: Using C/C++ and being human => memory safety problems.
> There is a function, ossl_punycode_decode that decodes Punycode. Punycode is a way to encode Unicode as ASCII, used to represent Unicode strings in the ASCII-only world of DNS. ossl_punycode_decode takes an output buffer, and if the buffer runs out it keeps parsing and verifying the Punycode but discards the rest of the output.

> I did not have the heart to figure out why it works like this. Maybe there's a good reason to do progressive parsing. Maybe it's an artifact of how C makes you do memory management or of OpenSSL's C style. Anyway.

Not involved in OpenSSL, but this is a fairly common pattern in a lot of C APIs. You want to decode some data, but you're not sure how big the output is going to be ahead of time. You could write a separate function to calculate the length, but that function has to do most of the work of actual decoding to figure out that length. A lot of times the output is small enough it can fit in some conservatively sized buffer so you can save a fair bit of work by having a (potentially stack-allocated) buffer of some fixed size and then allocating a precisely sized buffer on the heap if it turns out to not be big enough. Further, having a separate length function means you typically end up with two similar but separate decode implementations which has its own problems.

In most other languages, you have some sort of growable container in the standard library so you just avoid the problem entirely at the expense of having less control over memory allocations.
not a great indicator, but good enough proxy for class: family income.

class is, of course, not about income. class is about your position in the productive system and ownership. very rich people might have NO income at all.

but let's say that for most, family income is a good enough proxy.
>Sure, but there's nothing native.

But why? strings are used by all programmers everyday

I struggle to understand why you wouldn't want to make them state of the art, or decent at least.
What is the involvement of OpenStreetMap in this ecosystem?

From the FAQs at https://www.tomtom.com/tomtom-maps-platform/:

> I don’t want to use the new maps with OSM, will my application continue to work if I use an older library version?

> Yes. Although we encourage you to switch to the new enhanced map to take full advantage of the new map features integrated by the OSM community.

This update is light on details around licensing of the new map.
We are pretty early into the cycle to declare such a thing. The rate increases are likely not close to ending. It takes time for this stuff to unwind.

Also note that we are in a similar situation as when Nixon propped up the economy before an election in 1972. It took a while for his policies to backfire. Unemployment rate was 3.5% when Nixon was elected and doubled by 1974.

The current dominating party in the US is not taking as many extreme measures as Nixon of course, but for me I want to see where the economy stands after the election dust has settled.
The Lemmy authors are pretty lefty, and the primary instance that they run is also very lefty.

Their list of instances is likely curated to ignore instances that don't match their beliefs.
It's a paradox because you would think that how can giving drivers more choice worsen their travel times?

If that diagram was electrical resistors, then adding that middle path across the bridge would never increase the resistance from A to B and therefore reduce the current. At worst, the added resistor will do nothing (because the nodes of the Wheatstone bridge are at the same potential). If any current flows at all across the new connection, it improves the flow.
Right, and I think generally the high status whites who profess it about whites actually don't mean themselves. They mean all those low status whites who have wrongthink.

Ironically many of them live in liberal, multi-cultural cities filled with rich people who are much more high status than vast swathes of inland rural white people.

This makes me nostalgic for Trusted Solaris. Nearly identical motivations, but also allowed for runtime context switching (even within running X11 sessions) without a reboot.

It combined Zones, ZFS filesystems, Crossbow network virtualization, a modified X11 server, and an auth framework to glue it all together.

I don't know how widely Trusted Solaris was ever adopted, but I know that I haven't seen it in use in many years. Maybe this particular NixOS strategy will gain more traction.
It's focused on race, but not in a nice way. It's been arguing about chattel slavery for 200 years, had a civil war over it, and has been busy ever since trying to decide where racial minorities should live and work, and if slaves turned out of plantations with empty pockets were ever at a disadvantage, or if they just fail to have "merit." It's obsessed with race, which is why Affirmative Action and diversity quotas trigger it so much. You would think that the 70% of the population that end up with 80% of the slots would be satisfied, but they're not if they think a black person might have gotten in with a lower SAT score.

It's also focused on class. Its been constantly attacking people who think that class matters since the 20s, and is rabidly anti- any sort of forced sharing, or restrictions on spending as literal sedition.

The economist also hates the poor, but it's willing to care about the poor for a single article if it helps them attack the blacks.
Seems to be found by grep fine:

This is false.

77% of all water use in the US southwest (not Iowa) is for agriculture. 32% of all water use in the US southwest is used on alfafa, corn silage and grass hay, specifically for beef production, grown here, in the US southwest.

This can help clear up misunderstandings:

https://www.vox.com/23373495/western-us-water-scarcity-droug...

The drought under discussion in in the US southwest, not Iowa, not New England, not the Great Lakes. It makes no difference if those other areas have more or less water, since there are no connections to the "great basin" (the drainage area of the Colorado and Rio Grande) from outside,

Iowa is east of the 100th meridian, traditionally the line where irrigation is not technically required for agricltural production (though it may still be used). The drought under discussion is west of that line, and agricultural production is generally impossible there without irrigation.
