I think you might be reading the post differently from the people downvoting it.

Why would punitively taxing vacation homes, which are almost always outside of urban / dense-surban locations where there is little housing market congestion and where building additional housing units is straight forward -- do anything to help things?

Why would punitively taxing the "ultra-luxury housing supply" do anything substantial for the issue being discussed?

To me, these points made the post sound like a class-war rallying cry rather than an effort at reasonable solutions.

Punitively taxing housing used by the wealthy isn't going to address the issue-- even if its successful at driving them out of the area there are so few that it wont make a dent in the market.

I'm disappointed in the lack of creativity in the proposals people advance. How about in regions where density is already over some threshold large employers should be required to have at least some threshold of their role qualified office workers working remotely? Remote workers can consume less square footage (less office space, less parking) and can locate themselves outside of the highest demand locations.

Surely there must be other alternatives other than just the density treadmill. While increasing density can also be a useful tool, it has the unfortunate effect of making the property even more valuable which works counter to the goal of affordability.

In California we should end the prop 13 windfall for rental properties, and at the very least allow rental properties taxes to rise with rental rates. Current policy can create weird effects like houses where if they were sold the increase in taxes would be comparable to the current rent, which essentially locks them into being rental... and even when it's not that extreme it creates a significant advantage in favor of long-time landlords vs recent buyers.
Pea protein is also a complete protein. I've honestly never heard of protein being a problem for vegans.

The bigger issue is vitamins, in particular B12. But that's easily fixed with a daily multivitamin.

Go organic, with inflation the premium on organics isn't barely there now.

It's a better quality of product and doesn't send their cows to feedlots.

I've seen industrial farming and it's not pretty, but more than anything it products a pretty crappy product now compared to organic.

You eat a lot less as the quality leaves you satisfied.

Stole your promt and replaced it with a turing machine.

"Write a short rhyming poem explain a turing machine in easy but accurate terms"

A Turing machine is quite a feat

It can compute things quite discrete

It helps us solve problems of all sorts

And keeps us from feeling like we're in a court

It can be represented with a tape

And even replaced if we feel the need to escape

It's a model of computation to which we can relate
Fair point. It was an overgeneralization, on my part.

Looks like no one tried doing Venn diagram of people who think "I do not want to eat meat" and "I do not want to eat processed food".
Meat substitutes are almost always sold out at my local grocery store. Last week beyond was entirely sold out and I managed to get the last 2 packs of Nestlé's Incredible? Impossible? Whatever it's called, yesterday veggie bacon and salami were sold out, I got like meat's last like gyros pack, and had to get a separate like meat like chicken pack to somehow substitute the missing like gyros pack. Oh and I got Rügenwalder's last Leberwurst.

Sometimes I cycle another 2½km to the the next grocery store, because they usually have more like meat and vivera products, but often they're sold out there as well and I've got to try another day.
Thanks for being very specific about your environment and use patterns.

I think a lot depends on how air naturally flows through your apartment. In my case, I doubt one purifier would suffice even for the ~60m² we live in, as I can already tell we have at least four different "zones" that don't want to exchange air unless forced to (e.g. by running the AC fans to stir things up) - I can tell by observing how heat and smells move. It's something that I believe could be corrected, but I need to find a HVAC specialist (or learn enough myself) for it[0]. In the meantime, I want to monitor the air quality parameters in all those zones separately, to quantify both how much stuff accumulates in each, and how bad the circulation actually is.

> After I got the Mila, there was a noticeable difference in the amount of dust that collected all over the house on a regular basis. I can see it in the filter sock, which I take outside and regularly clean as well.

I very much hope to get that effect. I'm allergic to dust mites, and my children most likely are too (observing them seems to hint at it, but they're too young for it to show up on tests), and I hope that adding air purifiers with HEPA filters will help reduce the household cleaning workload a bit.

Anyway, I've looked at Mila website, and I'm torn. On the one hand, even if pricey, it's nicely designed and tick the right boxes. Two filters, including the carbon one that seems actually loaded with carbon instead of just pretending. On the other hand, they condemn other vendors for bullshit marketing... and then literally do the same thing. Don't know what to think of that.

I've been explicitly told by the HOA operating it that I absolutely cannot put fans into existing grilles and ventilate mechanically, as it will mess up the airflow for the whole building.

The minimum announcable IP space is a /24. So you could either rent or buy a /24. Renting a /24 is currently at around $100-200/month while buying is around $10-15k. You can take that subnet to a provider with a "BYOIP" service.
Yeah, it really depends on the ISP.

It's a shame how it's become so hard, the old internet is gone forever really.

I'm looking at the Fediverse explorer and I'm curious how to interpret the embeddings (or the distances between points). What does it mean when two instances are near each other (e.g., sigmoid.social and mastodon-belgium.be)? Is it related to the number of follows?
Transparent huge-pages are actually rarely recommended, and I think it's a quite prevalent idiom in database systems world, and that is because they can cause unexpected stalls and latency spikes during the application runtime. This is possible because THB is an in-kernel implementation of system-wide huge-page support and it's basically hard to get a lot of control over the process.

OTOH to make use of "normal" huge-pages, you have to allocate them up front so it's not possible to run into THB type of issues.

That said, I doubt that enabling huge-pages for complex database workloads, that cannot run solely in-memory, will show any noticeable performance improvement. There's a lot of IO and memory R/W involved and I think this is what shadows the TLB miss cost. What would be interesting, and what I haven't done so far, is to estimate the number of CPU cycles needed for a TLB miss.

Prompt: Does AI obey the Three Laws of Robotics?

Response: No, AI does not obey the Three Laws of Robotics. The Three Laws of Robotics were formulated by science fiction author Isaac Asimov in his 1942 short story, "Runaround," and are meant to provide a set of rules for robots to follow to ensure they do not harm humans. AI is not bound by these laws, since the technology is not designed to be a robot, but rather a computer program or system that is capable of learning, reasoning, and solving problems.

If you own a single /24 it is only $250 per year to ARIN.

A /24 is going to cost $11-12k, but it will have good resale value so it isn't a huge deal.

There are better alternatives[1] than Beyond Meat at least here in Switzerland. There are several competitors that create much better tasting non-meat products without any of the additives that Beyond Meat uses, locally made and sustainable.

Beyond Meat spent an enormous amount of money to have their foot everywhere but if your product is mediocre a better products will take your place.

Also very interesting is that different countries have different priorities when it comes to such food items. The planted CEO stated that it was quite difficult to enter Germany because price was a much bigger factor than taste.

I can only talk about my experience. I've been a dev but mostly done support and implication roles. I'm usually the the guy who uses the n-word with execs: "No".

Execs hate that word. It ruins thier day.

Sales, legal, compliance, product (and HR and finance) all say yes to whatever an exec says. They might think it's a bad idea but they can just do it anyway.

Only tech people will give a hard no and say, up front, that X is not just dumb but not possible.

Sometimes this is worsened as, by concentrating on technical skills, we can lack interpersonal skills. I never start by saying "No". I start by trying to understand if we can achieve the same result another way, or steering the conversation away, or saying I will look into it and never getting back to them. This is much better. But occasionally I get cornered and have to say that word.

I follow it with some carefully dumbed down but still unwelcome explaination. Tech people usually make another mistake here: they think that an explaination is helpful, but it isn't. People want their widget. Explaining why they cannot have it just add insult to injury.

Because if my "nonconfrontational" style, I am much more popular than my (more able, smarter, harder working) tech colleagues. I am seen as more of a team player maddeningly.

This is covered in How to Win Friends and Influence People. No one thanks you for telling them an inconvenient truth. Except in tech where other people actually will thank you for educating them and saving them time. Sadly that does not translate the the real world (including the C-suite).

Disclaimer: you may get lucky and find one or two managers who do appreciate getting a straight answer fast. Value them.

A few examples:

* An exec wanted a VWAP Algo in crypto. He'd sold it to a client who was very impressed we'd managed to make one. But to run a VWAP you need reliable volume profiles and volume profiles on crypto (last I checked) are not at all reliable. I managed to steer the client into accepting a Percentage of Volume Algo. It's not the same bit it's similar.

* A client needed Transaction Cost Analysis which we did not do. I managed to turn that into them specing out TCA for us to build with a 6 month lead time. I was very pleased with that achievement. No one else was happy about that though. Product were pissed because it broke their roadmap (no mercy for them, they said yes when the exec "checked" it was already done). The exec would not understand why we couldn't "just do it". And I became the bad guy.

* I lost the support of the CTO because I came back from a client with 32 smart, sensible, necessary improvements to our algos and he thought it was not my place to bring. I had the client rename and send the same list and it was forwarded company wide as great input and much appreciated and rushed to engineering for immediate execution.

Yes, I am a little bitter sometimes :) but it's better to play the game and win...

TCA stands for Composable Architecture. I don't understand the system well enough either, feeling like everything re-renders. That's why I just use TCA instead. The library also needs discipline in what data is made available locally and in how much changes the system can take before things get laggy due to architectural constraints. But it can show where and why TCA view bodies get re-rendered.

The thing to complain about twitter is that they didn't kick him off years before while nuking accounts that were far less abusive, but waited until he was a lame duck president.

One could read that history as severely undermining your point-- that they were afraid of him until he was on his way out. But I don't think that's true: rather they kept him on because his popularity and toxicity brought a ton of revenue to them, and punted him when they finally expected him to be less profitable in the future.
> Counterpoint: “objective truth” is the mainstream viewpoint

No it’s not (at least not in the US). Look at how many different religions there are with major followings based on books filled with completely farcical stories treated as truth.

Neo liberals exist in a completely different reality from AOC fans when it comes to the economy, and that’s just a split within the Democratic Party. The Republican Party is fractured between boot licking Trump and claiming he is the worst President ever.

Pick any one of these groups and have them criticize how one of the others ignores “truth”. Then have them do it to their own group and you’ll quickly see how little they actually care about “objective truth”. It’s really depressing.
Urinals are weird, I can see how they could potentially justify their existence in areas such as stadiums, rest stops, night clubs and concert venues where it is expected that many people will be using the toilets simultaneously but even then are they actually necessary? The other 50% of the population are doing just fine without them. They always strike me as a relic of a bygone age. I actively avoid them if I’m wearing light coloured trousers because it always seems like you’re rolling the dice on the splash-back issue.

> Processing multi-GB files in the browser is... fun. Doing that kind of thing on a server is easier.

This sounds like a strawman. Not everyone wrangles multi-GB files, let alone JSON documents. Those who do are already readily aware of the implications. I mean,some popular text editors even struggle with multi-GB of plain text files.

You don't need a server to handle JSON. There is no excuse.
I wonder if the bots can be tricked into buying a mediocre property for orders of magnitude it's worth with some kind of ai attack vector...

Like.. if they use the text, find wording that reasonable humans interpret vastly different from the algorithms.. if they examine pictures, hiding noise in the pictures that humans wouldn't notice but the robot would interpret as "good".. Finding GPS coordinates or zip codes or whatnot that the algorithm deems worth more than the actual property.

It'd not exactly be fraud, as long as you're not directly using injection or other hacking techniques.. I'm pretty sure it'd hold up in court, when any living person can look at the listing and find nothing wrong with it, except a highly optimistic price.
I don't think you understand how Telegram encrypts its chats. MTProto is also used to encrypt Cloud Chats at rest. It's not just transport. Cloud Chats are not e2ee because the keys are held by Telegram.

Moxie also "rolled his own crypto". "Rolling your own crypto" is typically used disparagingly by those who claim moral or intellectual superiority over the competition. The Signal Protocol was rolled by someone, yes? The version of MTProto that had vulnerabilities discovered was deprecated many years ago.
A proper bike lane will have at least a solid white line that a driver is not allowed to cross (other than when accessing an adjacent property where they have to give way). Same as a bus lane. Thus it's impossible to legally park in those lanes
I agree in so far that I believe that the observation of "more processing > less health" is not caused directly by the amount of processing, but by the way those highly processed products are designed to match as many "appetites" as possible. I use the term "appetites" in the sense of a low intensity craving, the feedback signal the body sends to fill some nutrient deficit. But our taste buds can't really identify most of the nutrients in question, we just have is a set of complicated heuristics taking an educated guess. And many of those highly processed foods, in their quest to maximise desire, will fool those heuristics, matching the "appetite" without fulfilling the deficit. Perhaps not by deliberate design, but by market selection.

On one hand, the faux meats sound quite risky, but in the other hand they are under extreme scrutiny like no highly processed food before them, so they might not actually be bad at all.
I have both things.

Tunneling have some advantages:

- you don't expose your home IP
- you can move your hosting easily (you could even have it in your phone)
- you can host bigger stuff that you couldn't pay or would be too expensive "in the cloud" (you home NAS, a rack of servers, home assistant)
- you could setup just one vps gateway with nginx or traefik and then set a bunch of tunnels for all your friends or several different sites...

It has some interesting uses.

My guess is that the "UK Government Digital Service", who run most central government it services, use govuk.digital as a top level domain for all internal services.

I believe it's fairly common to have a TLD that is only used for internal addresses, it helps to ensure they are only routed internally and not accidentally exposed. Using a "real" TLD also ensures you own the namespace and it can't be accidentally used by a third party.

If they were to use an *.gov.uk domain for internal services there is a higher chance that someone would inadvertently expose it to the internet.
