What is the definition of “a posting” under Colorado law? Versus a link to a posting with a description?
So let me get this straight:

A few bad police apples create a mass left-wing media outrage which results in the withdrawing of a public good (police protection), which results in people needing to hire private security, which results in even more objectionable actions taken by this less-accountable private security, than there were previously by the taxpaid police force?

You don't say.

I guess the only relative improvement here is that some of these security firms aren't armed with anything more than billy clubs.
My stock discovery algo[0] averaged 21% daily increase last month and we're launching in a couple of weeks.

Post launch we're going to be working on buying/selling alerts to save people from having to watch charts all day (which I do, but I enjoy it). Also a few more features we're looking at, such as crypto analysis. But with the current bear market, I'm less enthused that it's a worthwhile avenue currently.

People are generally fine bragging about where they work outside the bay area (and Seattle to a lesser degree). The stigma of Big Tech is somewhat localized.

It’s a job - for many people, especially with families, they are fine with that, and they don’t wrap up their identity with it.

The same happens in the defense industry.
The other weird part of this article is it's presented as the author's unique (or uncommon) business/startup insight, when cash flow analysis is the fundamental of finance.
i've never used tor, but wouldn't it be better operational security to not use tor for banking to avoid being fingerprinted/identified, if one cared about remaining anonymous?
I think they messed up their gpt prompt
I actually dont know if I like the new law - but while it is in effect it seems like it should be enforced? Otherwise its just a tax on the companies that invest in HR and are trying to abide by labor laws.

I know its minor but I dont think we should just pick and choose which labor laws to follow, especially with something as relatively unobtrusive to do as this.
I'm not sure that the crypto used is the weakest link, but even then, I would very much like to see a user-configurable memory-hard KDF, authenticated AES, and FIDO2 hmac-secret support. All of which should be relatively tablestakes for a product like this.

The option of self-syncing or self-hosting seems important as well, so users can decide to trade off having a team of engineers keeping the server secure and up to date with being a less interesting target to compromise.

In terms of client-side compromise, I'm significantly more worried about OS/browser compromises, malicious app updates, or for those cases where there's no OS-mediated autofill API, clipboard sniffing.

In the end, I think password managers will always have issued and will have to settle for "good enough", or better than memorizing passwords. They're too big of a target for attacks and their surface area is too big, too. Password managers do more than storing login credentials, but for that key use case, adoption of Passwordless WebAuthn can't come soon enough.
I once did, to make a payment. Only at the end did I realize I was in a TOR window. All went through fine. I guess there is no reason not to, if login and 2F check out.
I am the opposite and I get asked about this a lot. I bought a condo in a building (and neighborhood) that is almost all STR's (near the beach). I'm the only person who actually lives in my building full time.

I enjoy the fact that I get new neighbors all the time because, quite simply... in the past, I've lived next door to people I didn't like at all. When that happens, what can you do, move? This way, if there is an unruly renter, I just call the owner of the condo and they deal with it (only happened once in the last year). Worst case, they leave on their on in a few days.
So cool that you’ve put this together. As a big car nut my whole life, I’ve always wanted something like this.

A possible commercial application is: evaluating shopping mall customers demographic by parking lot. Real estate market shifts (possible hypothesis is vehicles values go up before commercial or residential property values). At which point, you would need to include used cars in the database.

Second, I realize make and model are the best indicators, but as interested in vehicle design and history, is there anything about the innate design or shape that looks “expensive” or looks “modern”/current. Are there patterns here that without knowing the badge? Related, do the new BMW’s look any more expensive than a Genesis if you didn’t know it was a BMW? If there was a way to remove model/make from the model, what would it say as brands that look more expensive than they are and vice versa? Which brands’ design language looks old?
I've experimented with something similar. Back when I still had a Facebook account, I unfollowed all of my friends (and purged my list to the bare minimum) and joined a bunch of local/regional groups. It infinitely improved Facebook as a tool for connecting with other people.
Worker killed after being “ingested” into plane engine at Alabama, airport
What, you did not answer his question, and came up with some gibberish.

https://www.epi.org/publication/employers-steal-billions-fro...

>What this report finds: This report assesses the prevalence and magnitude of one form of wage theft—minimum wage violations (workers being paid at an effective hourly rate below the binding minimum wage)—in the 10 most populous U.S. states. We find that, in these states, 2.4 million workers lose $8 billion annually (an average of $3,300 per year for year-round workers) to minimum wage violations—nearly a quarter of their earned wages. This form of wage theft affects 17 percent of low-wage workers, with workers in all demographic categories being cheated out of pay.
My grandfather referred to this as the "asshole tax".
There are regularly scheduled flight from e.g. London and Oslo for ~$100 to Spitsbergen. Plants grow there and it's inhabited by native mammals, not just "a dozen penguins". Apart from the adjectives "snowy" and "cold" being used to describe it, it has little in common with Antarctica.
> One obvious objection to neutrality is the threat of extinction. If one couple refuses to have a child, it is neither good nor bad. But if every couple refuses, it is a catastrophe.

If the last human dies and there is no one there to witness it, who is there to claim this a catastrophe?

This article makes a big, implicit assumption about a very human-centric world, which I consider kind of naïve; the universe, including Earth, does not care or need to care about humanity in order to keep on existing. According to all current knowledge, it did just fine before us, and it will likely do just fine after us, even if we do our best to make it inhospitable e.g. via global nuclear warfare.
That's significantly less readable since you can't see that you're working with ordered pairs that have x and y coordinates. Don't hide the data structure.

> Is it gonna be disposable lower-class people?

This meme comes from people who've watched too many bad sci-fi shows and don't have a good grasp of history. The people going to space will be the intersection of those who can afford it and those who want and are capable of going. The first people who traveled the oceans were not the lower class. They were the upper class who could afford to fund or pay for the journey by pooling money or independently pay for it.

The poor you refer to didn't come until much later in the age of discovery.
Multi-camera real-time object detection with WebRTC and YOLO
Yes, and no they aren’t, you’re probably just thinking of icy conditions, where there is ice, snow, salt, bare asphalt, etc. They’re great for that.

But I’ve driven across a frozen Lake Erie with no snow (we used do that sometimes to get to the islands when the ice is thick enough) and it’s just pure ice. Nothing but chains makes much difference then.

But outside of rare stuff like that you’re not often on just ice, so OPs comment, while I agree with it in fact, it’s kind of an “aaaaaactually”.
Older toolkits were great at single team creations. This, interestingly, did mean the person making it knew exactly how to use test it.

I question whether the toolkits were actually better, or we just had fewer things to use test? Certainly fewer form factors. Granted, the decision to try and have a single code base for many different resolutions and such is, of course, questionable.

Edit: directly to the point, is it the old toolkits that made better tools? Are those same toolkits used today? Pointing at older tools does not show that the toolkits were better.
I've changed the tone, thank you. I don't think simple ideas are any less innovative though, for what it's worth!
Ok. Got it

Unfortunately that's the only one I know of with an app interface. I did reverse engineer the app and tried to get some cooperation with the manufacturer of the radio to create an app of my own, but they weren't interested.
Check if the listings also violate local planning laws and if so contact your local planning office. In the past our local planning office was reticent to become involved beyond sending a notification of potential violation. These were mostly ignored. My locality a few years ago passed new rules requiring registration of short term rentals and certain requirements to do so including being in compliance with HOA rules. Since then the planning office has become more willing to take actual action.

Those willing to ignore HOA rules are often willing to ignore local tax collection rules so contacting your local tax authority to let them know you suspect someone violating the local tax laws is an option. Even when the planning officials were hesitant to get involved the tax folks were willing.

I have reported realtors which own or have close connections to those owning short term units violating HOA rules to the state licensing board. My experience is that realtors willing to knowingly violate HOA rules have often previously been censured by the licensing board for other issues. This in particular has been amazingly effective at getting units quickly removed and listed for sale. Once the listing is removed I withdraw my complaint and I have never had to follow through to completion.

Luckily once the registration laws went into effect there have only been a couple of people attempting to do short term rentals in my HOA and reporting them locally has ended those attempts.
Hear, hear. It's not just forums, it's basically all forms of civil society these days. Organizations of all stripe get drown in activists. Always marching through the institutions.
I don't know why it is so pervasive, but programmers think they are inherently good at UX/UI for some reason. And they are very possessive about it. I was until I married a designer, and they actually went to school to study visual composition, balance, color language, etc.

I'm fond of saying UIs designed by engineers look exactly like UIs designed by engineers. I'm not saying that all designers are always better than all programmers, but when you've studied visual composition, it shows.

I mean just look at the scorching replies you are getting. You definitely offended some people who fall into this "I know better than any stoopid artist" category.
That’s because it’s incredibly safe to go into Disney mode. I hate it too as it makes me feel like they’re treating me like a fragile 12 year old.

The biggest setback in Windows UI was the "tabletization" of the UI (for the lack of a better word) introduced in Windows 8. IMO, this attempt at making Windows mobile friendly made a lot of compromises which made Windows worse for both mobile and desktop. And because Microsoft takes backward compatibility seriously (they have to, for their enterprise customers), the Windows UI ended up being this hot mess that we have today.
Call your HOA, not airbnb.
Nothing wrong with having your priors straight.
To be fair, gamifcation of reviews is a very real problem.

There's no good answer to this. Anyone that allows/relies on direct consumer feedback is at risk for one of the hardest problems that exist.

Personally, I want to know people's great and real experiences, or terrible ones, who wouldn't!? But, once you tie it to money, it's over.
"Offset" for him, the money are still not going towards Canadian schools or healthcare or whatever.
Yes, it can be difficult to imagine for some people, based on their lived experiences. Those who have observed little or no unwanted behaviours from short-term renters wild tend to assume "It works." or "It works the vast majority' of the time.". Some combinations of hosts, their rules, and guests can be successful and completely non-problematic. I, having lived some problematic places long before AirBnB existed, sympahise with your experience. I've been fortunate to see primarily successes.
The Peace of Not Coding
My guess is this exploits an AirBnB loophole that allows a host to remove a review if the guest never stays.

Small technicality, but the review asks you to rate how clean the place is, what condition it’s in, etcetera — you probably wouldn’t have been able to rate those honestly having not stayed.

Some of this rides a thin line in the sense that you made it far enough through the booking to have technically left a review, but wouldn’t have been able to if you had the dispute earlier. In other cases (ones I’ve personally experienced), I’ve had hosts who were jerks and I canceled before ever getting close to the check in time. In that case, you can’t leave a review on AirBnB or Turo. The only punishment to the host is lost revenue and lost opportunity.

At the very least you know the host lost revenue for this. It can be difficult to get a new booking in such short notice.
I’m working on this currently myself. Seems as good a thing to do with a packet node as any. I’m following in the footsteps here:

You're right, not everyone will have the experience I had, which was:

I hired a guy on TaskRabbit who attached the antenna to my already-existing old pole on the roof, and ran coax in the crawl space. All the stations in the Bay Area one cares about come from Twin Peaks in SF, and nothing's in the way for me. It never needs rotating. Many people in a suburban, flat area probably have a similar geography.

The antenna cost around $70. The TV has a coax connector on the back. That's it. The picture is perfect. YMMV.

I guess the takeaway is that OTA is NOT going away soon. It may well be a loss leader, but you can still go into a Safeway, buy their loss leader items, and leave without buying anything else.
Alan Kay thinks the internet and TCP/IP is awesome - but the web is horrible. He's coming from the small-talk world where you have an incredibly powerful environment that's self enclosed.

He sees the browser and javascript as a step back to technology that was developed in the 1970s.

The dom+javascript just isn't as powerful and so every attempt to improve shows some defect that a good plurality doesn't like and then they redo everything over again.

We're basing everything on a language that was originally functional but was disguised as an OOP language because some executives thought JAVA was the next big thing. We're forcing a document object model to be a human interface model.

We're stuck in this local maxima of power and functionality and all these attempts won't work because they're incremental. We need a quantum leap about what we think the human interface of the internet should be - and it shouldn't be the browser.
No it's not. This is false. First of all, for example, WRT to soybeans, only 20% of the bean can be used to derive oil, which is the ingredient most often used in processed human foods (not the healthiest but I digress). The other 80% of the bean would have to be discarded if not used for meal to feed chickens and pigs [1]. But if the beans do not grow at all you don't get meal or oil. Same is true of corn silage. These parts of the plant are not edible by humans.

But by far the biggest fallacy in your argument is that you don't recognize that animals are eaten by humans and provide valuable nutrition and essential nutrients. If the livestock is dying off because there's not enough feed, there are humans downstream of that who will not be getting fed. Livestock and crops have symbiotic relationship with humans and with each other. A lot of wasted plant matter that humans would have to discard (not to mention grass that cows, deer and other ruminants eat) can be consumed by farm animals. And animal manure can be used as fertilizer to re-invigorate soil and improve crop yields. In addition, animals upcycle crops into higher quality proteins and essential amino acids.

Needless to say though, if our agricultural systems are producing 73% less crops and livestock there will be ~73% less humans.

The only thing the Boring Company has done is distract cities from going forward with the deployment of various forms of public transport. And then they didn't deliver...

Elon doesn't want you to use public transport, he wants you to commute in a Tesla.
Uh, that one is an implementation bug. It's presumably compiling the call to recur as a normal C call. It should either be a goto (or loop, w/e) or use the musttail compiler extension.
I think the idea is that it's better to maintain several functions whose implementations are each linear flow than to maintain a single function that is littered with type key checks to turn on and off parts of its flow. It's trading off comprehension of each function by adding some risk that those functions will have shared parts that go out of sync.
The counterpoints to all of this:

No brownie points help as you still have to pass the technical interview, 99% of the time. Places with technical interviews have recruiters. Recruiters are not technical and will not actually be gauging you on any of this, they just need to be able to find you. They look for githubs and linkedin profiles.

This person is someone avoiding coding challenges and has just as arbitrary metrics as a replacement.
This doesn't track at all for me. Rust provides strong guarantees around accessing discriminated unions. The net effect of which is that the code you write has the "railway style" error handling that you get with exceptions in the trivial case (propagate the error). It even has a convenient syntactic shorthand for this `?`.

In non-trivial cases they are equivalent too. For example, collections need to maintain at a minimum a valid state in the presence of types with exception-throwing (fallible) constructors. This is a mess with or without exceptions in basically the same way. It's such a mess that the C++ standard allows for unspecified behavior of `std::vector::push_back` if the contained type has a throwing move constructor. Throwing move constructors are of course ridiculous but nonetheless allowed.

And that I would say is the biggest flaw with exceptions: they presume the fallibility of everything by default. This is not only brain damaging, it actively creates situations where there are no good options.
Because http stateless
And preserving state was not intended by design
Chime famously (but maybe not externally) ran almost all infra off two co-located beefy servers all the way up to their millionth customer. Maybe that is dumb, but we never had any downtime or slowness that was a result of work we did. The APIs we would rely on sometimes though did.
On Safari/iOS, the webpage to the demo really doesn’t let me scroll down and keeps going back up :(
Enforcing the law is “activism” now? Does that make police activists as well?
They need to simmer a bit.
What did Tesla do that was so far ahead of time that was difficult to replicate? Surely Tesla, together with Westinghouse, is why we have AC power distribution and polyphase AC motors and neither of those things are difficult once they are properly described.

Edison and DC lost that battle.
Good thread about this: https://twitter.com/punk6529/status/1494444624630403083
MSIX is interesting but effectively unusable outside the Store (I spent a few months of my life trying to do that at $PREVIOUS_JOB). Installation will fail on a high percentage of machines, and you'll mostly be out of luck. There's a reason nobody at Microsoft uses it for installation outside the Store (Office did for a while but they gave up).
As stated in the reddit post itself - "They had them on Google too, but we complained and they were removed."

The ad targeting is done on Yahoo and Bing searches
Disagree on the first reason - I don't think actual application code and logic has anything to do with frontend overcomplexity.

My issue, and the reason I moved away from JS altogether and to Flutter/dart, is the massive amounts of redundant and complex tooling, choices, and concepts.

Webpack, npm/yarn, Typescript (TSConfig), package.json/node_modules, Babel, Prettier/ESLint, React, Remix, Next, Svelte, ESBuild, ES6/ES5/ES2020/ESNext, Tamagui.

Yes I'm mixing categories in the list above, but the point I'm trying to make is that with something like Flutter/Dart, there's only Flutter/Dart.

Even if there's some really cool new JS library that handles all of my application-centric concerns (namely, layout animations and good handling of shared types across n different apps/packages/services), I'll never use a JS library again because it will simply never be enough. I'm not going to use these band-aids anymore.

Well, mass drivers should be relatively easy to construct on the moon & can be used to launch fuel and resources for ship construction. Also at least some terrestrial mining and refining techniques could likely be used on the Moon in modified form while we are still very early in zero-g mining and refining necessary for Asteroid resource extraction.
