> Encouraging people to marry and have committed monogamous relationships

Who told you that “the progressive left” opposes that? The major marriage-related shifts in the last century were expanding marriage benefits to everyone (interracial, homosexual) and opposition was distinctly right-wing.

Now, perhaps this was code for rolling back equal rights so more women would be pressured to enter into or remain in unsatisfactory marriages but as we saw that’s a recipe for more rather than less unhappiness.

Ask HN: Which videogames are worth playing in 2023?
I've seen in another thread that someone's 2023 resolution is to play more video games. I don't see anything bad about it, as long as it doesn't become an obsession in your life.

What are some videogames that are absolutely worth playing in 2023? Old or new.

I might find a little time to do it, perhaps. I love strategy games.
That’s what property tax is
It’s a cardinal number: the size of sets. Adding a single new element to an infinite set doesn’t change its size, so adding 1 couldn’t change an odd/even property of that cardinal number.

But there are also infinities as ordinal numbers, and for those there is a well-defined notion of odd/even, based on their total ordering.

Who said anything about expectation? I'm not saying that landlords need to lose money in expectation. I am saying that some landlords need to lose money if they are indeed charging a risk premium. Same way we expect insurance companies to make money on average but lose money on some individual policies.

My point is that complaining about rare cases where landlords lose money because they cannot evict a tenant who isn't paying at the drop of a hat is simply ridiculous. It is like complaining that an insurance company occasionally has to pay out for their policies.
One of the reasons that I currently rent an apartment instead of owning a single family home is that I want someone else to handle maintenance. Maintenance issues involve more than just "agreements with fellow apartment owners". There are common areas, common equipment such as elevators, trash chute, pool, gym, and common services such as security guards, maintenance staff, and concierge. In condos, this is managed by the homeowners association. Proposing that apartment buildings such not be owned by corporations, but instead that only condominiums should exist, with associated homeowners associations, is to propose a less liquid housing market.

I have owned single family homes and condos and rented apartments and condos. There are good reasons for all of these choices. Those proposing to allow fewer choices are not convincing me that they have thought it through.

The cost can be calculated, but not always.

Example 1:

SELECT ... FROM table WHERE key BETWEEN c1 AND c2

- here we can get the number of records and bytes to scan before even starting the query.

Example 2:

SELECT ... FROM table WHERE key = (SELECT ...)

- here we cannot know how many records will be scanned until we will finish the subquery.

Maybe some estimations can be applied... but we don't do that.

The megalandords are potentially a serious threat to democracy.

Property rights are, to many theorists, the foundation of liberty. The widespread ownership of property is arguably the foundation of democracy. Owning your home gives you rights and independence; your home is your castle. The landlord's home is their castle.

Now we are concentrating wealth and property back into the hands of a few, a corporate aristocracy. You can use property at their pleasure. What happens if you want to do something politically unpopular? Put a sign in your yard? Work someplace or say something on social media? What if you have a dispute with this landlord - can you compete in court with their lawyers? where else will you live? Will other megalandlords accept you?

They also will have enormous influence in local communities. Property owners, not renters, are the influential people in any community. These new megalandlords will concentrate that power in a large corporation which has enormous resources. Local government will not be able to compete.

How does this arrangement differ from feudalism, with the wealthy controlling the land and the rest reduced to renting it. Well past feudalism, the concentration of property ownership has been a serious obstacle to democracy in many countries trying to make that transition. Now we are going backward.

Do you think these wealthy, powerful people, who pride themselves on their naked aggression and disregard of others' welfare, who have a long history of buying government, will not use this power?

A crucial question is, is this part of the deliberate attack on democracy by the (unnamed) coalition of wealthy and corporations, or truly just an investment? Regardless, the power will be there for that coalition to utilize.

To answer without using the word "meaning":

Life satisfaction comes from devoting yourself to the pursuit of something that you feel is important. Because it's important, you can see and feel the effort that you're putting into it, therefore your effort is important, therefore you are important. Different people consider different things to be important.

Youth is about experiencing many different things so that you can figure out what is important to you. Growing up is making the decision to shut the door on everything that isn't important so that you can focus your time and effort on what is important.

> So by using this language, even when we are not thinking about it, we end up perpetuating these hidden assumptions.

It's definitely interesting to learn about the history behind the words we use. However words like these have long since lost their original meaning. I fail to see how it can perpetuate an assumption about the Vandals if most people don't even realize the word was originally referring to a group of people. Too much emphasis is placed these days on the words we use rather than the idea we're attempting to get across.

I understand that you feel a personal connection with the Vandals. But you can take comfort in the fact that nobody who uses that word in its current meaning is speaking ill of the Vandals as a people. And it gives you an opportunity to educate people about the history behind that word and the important lesson about hubris that we should learn from it. Because despite the negative connentation the word now has, wouldn't erasing the word from our language be another step towards forgetting about the Vandals and their history?

This is not true, most is encrypted in transit. It is not end to end, because your email service stores them (perhaps encrypted perhaps not).

It's not to allow a subset of renters to explicitly screw the owners by deciding they don't need to pay rent.
Ditto. The people who get off on unregulated things irritate me. Regulation came about for a reason. It’s not just to control you and make the rich richer. It’s also to help prevent exactly the sort of thing FTX did.
Understood. Have you looked at brokerage firms to sell your company?

I haven't used them and I'm not affiliated with them, but:

- https://microconf.com/quietlight they appear to be a brokerage partner for MicroConf, which is a conference for those who follow the self-funded/bootstrapped route such as yourself.

- https://feinternational.com that one was recommended by Patrick McKenzie here https://youtu.be/-Tg48MVnBeQ?t=3021 and how it helped him especially as he had new family obligations and had started another business simultaneously.

I am not saying that refusing to pay rent shouldn't affect your credit. I am saying that the "renter rights leads to people just deciding to not pay rent" claim is BS.

My experience with corporate landlords has also been shitty, but in different ways. They've done fun things like have terribly sealed granite countertops with stains that they charge each tenant for "ruining" but then don't actually change out between tenants. I was dinged for $2,100 for stains that were present when I moved in (I foolishly didn't have photos). The new tenant was in a few days later without new countertops.
I should add that I've taken to do my own research because I little faith in the actual scientists to do a good job, and the faith that I have left is diminishing. A lot of the science is needlessly incredibly slow and it appears that once someone has found something they can get funding for they drag it out forever as it's easier to get repeat funding than try for new funding. Then there is all the accidental (and not so accidental) p-hacking that is so prevalent that it appears that being good at math would be an impairment to an academic career.

I'm loving learning about these different voting methods. I do still stand by my point though.

You're right, I was arguing that voters degenerate into bullet voting over time 100% for the candidate they liked, 0% for the ones they don't. Your article [0] contends that it's not a good strategy to vote like this if you're trying to be strategic, because if candidates are A=974, B=974, F=231 and you liked F, you'd be foolish to vote 100% F, as if you like B better than A you should vote some for B.

This looks too much like the current system we have, where people don't vote for the person they like best, they cast all their votes for the person they hate the least who could beat the person they hate the most. Basically: if you normalize votes, people are going to vote 100% for the lesser of 2 evils and we're back to square 1.

If you don't normalize votes, you'll get one of the other voting strategies you've already linked to in your [1]. I expect it would essentially devolve into approval voting, as it's still voting for the lesser of 2 evils of the strongest candidates, then casting additional votes for anyone who seems viable. Perhaps it finds some other equilibrium.

Either way, I think it takes too much strategy and voter headspace compared to ranked voting, where you can just vote for the candidates you want, in the order you want, and you didn't waste a vote if your top candidate loses because your #2 vote didn't lose any weight.

Sadly, the only surprising thing about this is that anyone is surprised the bill got 'mysteriously' nerfed at the last minute. This is the danger of centralizing too much power in government. A very good first step would be "one-and-done" term limits for all state and federal elected officials with restrictions on accepting employment with lobbyists or stakeholders with significant government business for five years after holding office.

This is an ongoing issue with the US Navy, and mirrors similar post hoc justifications from organizations that use political[1] justifications to rationalize slipping standards - NASA changing their go/no-go criteria in order to achieve a Shuttle launch cadence that upper management had promised comes to mind.

The simple truth of the matter is that the US surface Navy has, for the last 20 some years, been deferring maintenance and training of its core assets in order to fund prestige projects like the super carriers. 7th fleet is particularly egregious on this front, but this comes down to a resource allocation issue. Congress and the admiralty have shrunk the surface Navy, and forced the existing fleet to "do more with less." What this means is a higher operational tempo, with no down time, no repair schedule, and no training. In the investigation into the most recent destroyer crash, the board found that the bridge crew hadn't been trained on the basics of navigation, but rather on the basics of how to operate the computer system that navigated for them. Additionally, because of man power constraints, where junior officers would once spend the first few months of their career shadowing a senior officer, now they're thrown into command of a watch with no physical training, just a stack of DVDs they're supposed to go through before deployments.

It's an embarrassment, but it's an embarrassment of command, not to the sailors who are trying to make do with no time to do their jobs.

The MDI defines "owner occupant" over "landlord" in such a way as to effectively subsidize the single family detached suburban home lifestyle preference.

Yup, and a remake was released last year, featuring one of our main pop stars. It is apparently an annual Christmas movie in 14 other countries too though, unlike Karl-Bertils, which likely due to the political subject matter is only tradition in the Nordic countries.
And then you can argue with Mitte about their wrong CVE's. I got plenty of garbage CVE's for development versions, which were never released, marked them as invalid CVE, but they are still in the CVE database. Mitre doesn't care, the reporter doesn't care, and I don't care neither.
>> that is only the first step in the development of a successful attack. Finding a collision of any type is hard; finding one that is still working code, that has the functionality the attacker is after, and that looks reasonable to both humans and compilers is quite a bit harder — if it is possible at all.

> I mean, if you have any sort of binary files in your repo, that's pretty doubtful.

> The way you mostly do this, is the colliding part is a short binary blob which is embedded, and then the file has code outside the colliding part that does different things depending on the value of the blob.

> Yeah, getting that past human review with a source code file is going to be tricky. Otoh if you have any sort of binary assets in your git, (this might even include images depending on the attack goals, e.g. goatse attack) this seems a lot more plausible

My view is that if you find yourself rationalizing away potential cryptographic issues with "I bet this will be hard to successfully attack in practice", you're probably better off just fixing the problem if you can. Once you've moved from just relying on cryptographic security to non-cryptographic factors like human code reviews or constrained input formats, you've made it significantly more complicated to evaluate the security of your system and significantly increased the risk that an attacker comes up with an approach you haven't considered.

It's very tempting to conclude that a cryptographic attack isn't really an issue for your system and you don't have to change anything, but that conclusion is almost certainly not based on a real understanding of the risk you're accepting. Just using SHA-256 or something similar is almost always a better answer than coming up with some more complicated reason to keep using SHA-1.

Right, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear --- when I said "run in Chrome" I meant "in the Chrome browser regardless of OS, e.g. in Linux"

I noticed it lets you pick a primary package format to use, I just want a centralized package manager that highlights where my package came from or what format its in. I dont care if I use 5 different approaches thats already quite typical.

What I do want to know is what package format is best for my use case: I want latest version of Python and other packages, and I am on Ubuntu, I dont want a new OS or docker. No idea which would be ideal or the pros and cons of each.

> Crypto is big enough to be called its own asset class now.

I'm not sure this is true. Crypto is certainly a big pile of assets, but it seems (to my non-expert eyes) to be an amalgamation of corporate bonds, stocks, futures contracts, etc, all traded on a special platform. Does the platform make a DeFi governance token fundamentally different from common stock? Or are these assets just extra sketchy members of existing asset classes?

You do have a point that crypto assets are vulnerable to total ecosystem collapse across asset classes, but that would also be true for assets originating from a single country (e.g., if the UK or Japan somehow collapsed overnight, I would expect that to impact all assets from that country).
