The number of lakes on our planet has increased substantially in recent decades, according to a unique global survey of 3.4 million lakes. There has been a particular increase in the number of small lakes, which unfortunately, emit large amounts of greenhouse gas. The development is of great importance for Earth's carbon account, global ecosystems, and human access to water resources.
It’s like metaprogramming in Ruby again, except with the idea that it’s somehow more straightforward because you can inspect the generated code. Except nobody will ever inspect auto-generated code because a) it’s usually awful code b) ignoring that code was kind of the whole point.
A strong argument is different from a strong opinion. Sounds like there are lots of people who feel strongly but none of them can put up a strong argument showing why one is better than the other.

There you go. That’s the problem.
If you tax second homes, people will not buy these, not put them out for rent, and developers will build fewer real estate.

This may only benefit if you have already borked your real estate market so that virtually nothing gets built anyway.

Good work! Very interesting ideas in your videos. People think because something looks like a tomato it is all the same. But there is a huge difference in flavor and nutrition as you correctly point out and the idea of optimizing for nutritional quality is so overlooked. We grow on mineral poor soils often because those are taken up over the years however we still get something that is red and tomato shaped so it goes off to the supermarket to be sold after sitting for some long period of time which further degrades both flavor and nutrition.

The thing that I am skeptical of (and why I love compost), is that we will ever get a full enough understanding of the interplay between various factors of life to duplicate or balance at the same level. But perhaps I am very wrong.

At any rate, I view life as a succession of organisms of which we are a part, and trust management of complexity primarily to evolution and biology because I know I cannot manage complexity at the same level.

Admittedly this could be one part naturalistic fallacy and one part article of religious faith and one part hippie wooo but the taste of compost grown produce with good mineral supplementation I have not found elsewhere. But perhaps it is possible hydroponically and I'd really like to see it.

Anyway, great points in your videos! More people should know about what you say. It's such an overlooked topic, the real nutrition value of food.

Range doesn't make something a public forum. Generally, control of the space by the public (or their delegates) does.

A letter to the editor of the New York Times has the potential to be seen by 343,000 households (a number down from 1.3 million). This never made the New York Times' letters page a public forum.

Twitter, for example, was at least previously accountable to shareholders. Now, it's very much a private forum.
The question I think is interesting. If you replaced an algorithm with a group of people, would a centralized entity recommending rents be price-fixing, just outsourced?
Pretty great (kinda):

Write a poem about the current state of affairs:

Sim Sala bim is what they said, (gpt follows)

But the current state of affairs is far from dread.

The world is ever-changing, progress is made,

Though it can seem like a façade.

The future is uncertain, no one can tell,

But we'll do our best to make it swell.

We have to take a stand and fight,

For a better world, for a brighter light.

For the environment and social justice,

The current state of affairs is a must.

We'll keep our heads up and be strong,

And together we'll right the wrong.
I distinguish between "investment property" and "second homes". An investment property is a working asset that's specifically there to generate income (eg by renting it out). "Second homes" here are really non-working assets (eg the family lake house).
We tested a lot of VOC sensor modules and the estimated CO2 values they give is -in our experience- 80% of the time totally wrong. Also the absolute ppb values of the TVOC are most often not to be trusted.

What they are good at is detecting spikes, e.g. from cleaning liquids, desinfection etc. but I would not trust the absolute value at all.

The big sensor manufacturers recognized that and newer generations of the Sensirion sensors are now just displaying an "index" instead of absolute measurements.
Rather looks like 10% accuracy in this case
Of course it has to do with profits and who gets it. That's the whole context for introducing the theory of value in Kapital, which one of us actually read while the other evidently skimmed a wikipedia page.

Labour theory of value is not in anyway at odds with the idea of supply and demand. In fact, the whole idea of value in Kapital is derived from supply and demand.

The labour theory of value states that the inherent value of a commodity is directly related to the combination of labour and cost of the machinery needed to produce the commodity. This is what acts as the foundation for the value that the market assigns to the commodities. The market value doesn't just appear out of thin air, it's rooted in material costs of production.

To put it bluntly, you have an infantile understanding of the subject you're attempting to debate here.
The flip side of that is that commodity hardware runs commodity software. It’s entirely possible to run a very large company without having any bespoke software.

Mainframes on the other hand or more likely than not to have software that only runs on a handful of machines at most.

So number of machines is not a good proxy for amount of software written.

On the other hand I’ve never touched a mainframe so it’s all speculation…
Never. Haven't been especially careful since at least Delta. Got vaccinated and went back to normal (I'll cheerfully mask when asked, but never otherwise).
The reason for that was eventually these headers became real standards and software would break when the X was removed. I very much doubt we will ever see github api headers added in to nginx and apache.

So if your header is something you think should/will be standard but it's still in beta/testing, give it the real name.
Same thing with Copilot - most of the time, Copilot tells me what I already know (not in a bad way - kind of like how a pair coder would just nod their head as I'm typing), but every now and then it gives me something really surprisingly good.

I feel like the damage from capitalism has already been done and point three would just restrict future supply even further by making new construction even less profitable. Most places needing new construction aren’t in areas where developers would really consider building ultra luxury anyways
> It is somewhat cheap and easy to produce a file with a specific SHA-1 hash.

I've never heard this? Who can I pay to create a file with the specific hash "deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef" and how much does it cost?
I went through this debate recently also and also ended up realizing there was no clear cut winner, but we did end up coming down on the same method of using headers. But oddly I get anxiety when I see other APIs that have gone for a different choice! Also considered that maybe could do all 3, or header || query parameter (which we may still do).
Test the kids on their own essays, for example? Maybe this could itself be automated with GPT-3?

The highest-quality answer involves skilled teachers with enough time who know and understand their students. (Actually the very highest might involve personal tutors but let's leave that aside.)

Going down a few steps you might combine the automated approach with skilled teachers and maybe add human editors who can do support work asynchronously?
Very cool. When you hit the generate key sequence mid way through a document, how much of that text is included in the prompt?
UB was insidious to me because I was not taught the rules (this was back in years 2005 to 2012; maybe it got more attention now), it seemed my coworkers didn't know the rules and they handed me codebases with lots of existing hidden UB, and UB blew up in my face in very nasty ways that cost me a lot of debugging time and anguish.

Also, the UB instances that blew up were already tested to work correctly... on some other platform (e.g. Windows vs. Linux) or on some other compiler version. There are many things in life and computing where when you make a mistake, you find out quickly. If you touch a hot pan, you get a burn and quickly pull away. But if you miswire an electrical connection, it could slowly come loose over a decade and start a fire behind the wall. Likewise, a wrong piece of code that seems to behave correctly at first would lull the author into a false sense of security. By the time a problem appears, the author could be gone, or she couldn't recall what line out of thousands written years ago would cause the issue.

Three dictionary definitions for insidious, which I think are all appropriate: 1) intended to entrap or beguile 2) stealthily treacherous or deceitful 3) operating or proceeding in an inconspicuous or seemingly harmless way but actually with grave effect.

I'm neutral now with respect to UB and compilers; I understand the pros and cons of doing things this way. My current stance is to know the rules clearly and always stay within their bounds, to write code that never triggers UB to the best of my knowledge. I know that testing compiled binaries produces good evidence of correct behavior but cannot prove the nonexistence of UB.

> It doesn't guarantee that it will be hidden (the user may have accessibility or other options enabled which take precedence and prefer to display it)

In my experience as an iOS developer using this API, the only time the preference to hide the home indicator is respected is in the case you mentioned, when a full screen video is playing. Otherwise the home indicator always appears whenever the user stops interacting with the screen. So the GP is correct that there is no user control to make it hidden, and not really any developer control either.
This answer made me laugh so much harder than it should have.

> The internet has had its time to experiment with free speech for all, and now we have Nazis.

Interestingly enough did you know that the original Nazis came about before the internet ever existed, way back in the 1930's, further did you know Nazis existed prior to the internet as well. It is true, in fact one may argue that there is no real correlation between the existence of Nazis and the internet, just their visibility.

But in a less sarcastic vein, I can only speak from my personal experience, but from what I see the more we try and suppress speech that some do not like, whether labeling it as hate speech, misinformation, or whatever else has produced in fact the exact opposite of the intended result, where more people are willing to tolerate actual Nazi's, question official information more readily and tolerate real racism more because the label became so broadly applied that it lost any meaningful effect.

Finally I also heard one interesting theory that part of the reason one side of the political spectrum is currently struggling so much is because the other side had even their moderate views censored from twitter, whereas another side was treated in a much more lenient fashion. The result was only the most reasonable and centerist voices of one side were shared, whereas the other side had many of their most radical and vocal members airing their views for all to see, which was a turn off to many, whereas the most extermist content on the other side was hidden and squelched.
> mosquitos serve no positive purpose in ecosystems and ought to be eradicated when possible

I've heard the same, but it really feels like a naïve take. We can't know for sure that they have no positive purpose in their ecosystems, and eradicating them is a one way street.

No idea where the belief came from, but it's a bit concerning how widely held it is.
basically, having uniform rental and vacancy data is one thing, that's nice and new. having uniform rental data to make dynamic pricing based on supply and demand would be great! that's not what's happening here. the uniform data is being used to more opaquely bolster the price of the available units, and that's not good. its anti-competitive at it isn't supporting price discovery, even though it has the capability to do the opposite.
It’s absolutely not a cure - it’s just a coping mechanism 100%.

I think most people do want a loving partner, if not more than one. Women definitely don’t “need a man” in the historical sense that they couldn’t really survive and be a respected part of the community without one.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children in a nuclear family is still pretty essential for a lot of people, although it can happen a lot later in life now, so there’s a large window in their 20s for women now where they will often outearn and outperform males their age, which certainly makes those men less attractive.
Is it any more than just a little more complicated? None of this establishes how PE firms would gain any sort of pricing power.

I’m not a fan of Zombiecide or TTS. I think TTS would suit the Descent type games pretty well though since it be better for the minis.

But for most other games, there are much better web based implementations that work async too. BGA is probably the largest collection overall. But there are quite a few others if you are more interested in heavier games like 18xx, Splotter games. VASSAL works pretty well if you are into GMT. Some
free to play sites specialise in Euros.

The 3D is great if you have cool minis but otherwise most board games are better off with 2D implementations. It’s also more accessible.
Unfortunately, I'd say the answer is no.

I have a quality 5.1 setup and I have all the problems everyone is talking about.

The mode I usually use for dialog intelligibility is Mch Stereo, which is basically stereo but using four speakers (the front and sides). I think it's only better because the side speakers are closer to your ears than the fronts.

Also, just having it in 5.1 mode and turning up the center channel 6dB or more works as well, and is probably the best sounding solution because you get the surround audio sounding correct.

But I find it annoying to do that because then I want to listen to music and I have to go through the rigmarole of turning the center channel down again.

I think you would get some value out of a 3.0 or 3.1 setup though, because then you could raise the center channel volume, which is where the majority of the dialog audio is.
I think you're right, but I've passed the hacker news edit threshold. May my misinformation live on forever.

The official specs for Raptor Lake don't include AVX512 support, so most likley this is just something that slipped through on your system.

> there are multiple competing alternatives

For landlords, yes.

Not for tenants. That's the crux of the issue here. Tenants have no way of knowing what is happening or why and so the market becomes an anti-competitive cartel. This is doubly so in markets like Seattle, where a single-digit number of management companies cover large swathes of the market.

It's akin to people defending binding arbitration clauses by saying "just choose another competitor." When all of the competitors in the market, especially in a must-have-it-or-else market like housing, are doing the same thing in the same way, there's no choice and no competition.

We have both. The steam deck has better graphics but the difference is negligible. Most games I’ve tried map the steam deck controls automatically, and with the exception of quake saves move from pc to deck easily.

Clearly the Nintendo is better for the games that are exclusive to its platform. The steam deck doesn’t have the anticheat for some games.

My initial deck had a battery issue (about 10 minutes of life) but support walked me through a bunch of things and they replaced it. 2nd times a charm. The deck can boot into a Linux desktop which is kinda fun.

Re 2: My test is, the owner(s) (all on the title) must _reside_ in the house for at least 35% of the year. That allows summer / winter homes for snowbirds, as well as moves, but makes it impossible to get the tax break on 3 properties in a given year.

House ZONING, anti-NIMBY, is also a major contributing factor. There should be rules much more like Japan's 'impact based' zoning, and automatic approval for plans that obviously surpass minimum standards for various E.G. environmental impact assessments and other forms of red tape. These benefits should also be structured to encourage housing within existing impacted areas (cities, improve density), and give benefits for exceeding minimum codes and being less impactful than allowed.

My experience of WarnerMedia is that they have politics among their staff reflective of the cities they’re in, but which may not reflect the overall demographics of the US. Eg, their Seattle office had politics at place in Seattle — but those are far left of most US politics. That bias impacts the choices made about content.

This matches other peoples experience and apparent business decisions — eg, the other poster referring to this same bias and CNN experiencing a sharp drop in ratings followed by corporate restructuring under a new CEO.
