It’s hard to have a ton of sympathy for people paying very little tax on their 7-figure property. Sell it and move anywhere else…but the real pro move is to just rent it out and live somewhere else. We have neighbors in our Silicon Valley suburb who live in RVs in their driveway so they can rent the entire house and still “live” there. Great retirement plan / grift that will never be available to younger generations.

DMCA claims aren’t made to a court, so perjury doesn’t make sense. If one could prove intent, perhaps fraud?
This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I feel similarly about how sometimes people seem to toss out `inline` (and even more suspect, `inline(always)` annotations on Rust functions like candy on Halloween and there are almost never any sort of actual measurements of whether it actually helps in the cases it's used. It's not even that I think it really hurts that much in most of the stuff I've worked on (which tends to be more sensitive to concurrency design and network round trips), but I can't help but worry that people using stuff like this when they don't seem to fully grasp the implications is a recipe for trouble.
SVG is nice but could be better.

unfortunately SVG 2 has been stuck in draft for pretty much an eternity
This appears to have some unintuitive consequences. When I searched for "porn" in a cookie-less session just now, there were still porn results, but no well-known sites (at least I didn't recognize the names). Searching for literally "pornhub", the first result is "porhub.com" without the "n".

Seems like the "SafeSearch" filter is based on a list of "adult domains" instead of the indexed content at the URL.
When you say object "instances" of "types" then what you're referring to is a strong schema. That works in relational databases but RavenDB is a document/schemaless database so there will always be some overhead.

RavenDB has collection-level compression across multiple documents which minimizes this: https://ravendb.net/articles/ravendb-5-0-features-smart-docu...

Euler just proved what Fermat theorized.
Good but it should probably be mentioned that solar power production and transmission from geostationary orbit (where the sunlight is nearly constant) would work better and have the same positional advantage. Costs have to be considered, of course.

I still kinda like the idea of dropping a few nukes on crater rims at one of the poles to reduce the height necessary to get to perpetual sunlight though.
From my experience this is not common today in Berlin (although I know it used to when we were kids).

Yeah the ability to de-cloud is something us technologists may take for granted. Even just the process of combining a multi-part zip file and is something the average person may have trouble with.
Also, the biggest winners from prop 13 are businesses like Disney: https://www.curbed.com/2020/10/prop-15-california-property-t...

Meanwhile, anyone who didn’t buy a house or property for a business 20+ years ago is priced out of the market, so we have tons of low-quality stores and businesses that are insulated from competition. It’s interesting how many free market advocates will throw their values out the window when it benefits them to do so.
If you are administrator, you can create and launch new scheduled tasks ... as NT\SYSTEM from that you can ... anything. Get TCB privilege, get Trusted Installer account, install kernel level drivers ... god mode.
You can still _sort of_ get a stamp from them. When you enter/leave the Schengen area, you get a stamp. The stamp will indicate which country you entered/left the Schengen area. (Obviously, if you have a passport from within the Schengen area, you get no stamp.)

Then again, I've also noticed that US passport control has stopped stamping my passport.
Holy cow, that's one of my biggest annoyances with Apple operating systems. Apple assumes their OSs can never have errors and does no wrong, therefore everything is dumbed down as you, the user, don't need to see error messages, progress bars, way to refresh or trigger firmware checks/updates, etc, just trust that their OS will always work flawlessly. Except no software is ever flawless, least of all their latest OS.

Why not just have a hidden 'power user' toggle in the OS to enable these things?
Yes - at the price of restrictions that apply to all of us, not just to the 5%. The powers that be are trying to tune the restrictions to some kind of global maximum of organizational output. Rules hinder that - they slow you down. But the lack of rules increases the damage that the 5% can cause, which also slows you down.

The hard part is, when something causes damage, it's easy to make a rule, but harder to see that the rule will cost more than the damage.
I got enormously disillusioned with Wikipedia. Then I decided to contribute to the Women in Red project. All my disillusionment went away! I wrote articles about Australian women - my last one being Kate Baker who championed the first truly quintessential Australian writer, Joseph Furphy.[1]

Then I got banned and all of that came to an abrupt end.

Now I’m using Wikishootme to document South-West Sydney as it’s unloved by politicians and those from the East and North Shore of Sydney. I’ve discovered the area I live in through the act of taking photos of the place I live in. It’s fantastic again!

I idly wonder how long it will be before an OS could be "done". OS is proven to be free of security exploits, applications run entirely isolated permissions (network, disk, etc), and any remaining performance gains are incremental and optional.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one with these Finder issues. Thankfully force quitting and restarting Finder brought things back for me. I did have to go through menu options (for first time ever) to show the sidebar and tab bar.

Sure but it’s easy to go overboard with this stuff. Reduce (fold) especially can be pretty hard to read in hairy situations.

My general rule is that if you need fewer lines of code to implement your logic with a simple for loop, you probably should.
Ask HN: How do you get through to Facebook for help?
A family member died last year. Some months ago someone hacked their way into becoming an administrator for his accounts. I want two things: fix the vandalism and memorialize those accounts.

Facebook's help desk seems to be set up with layers upon layers of circuitous articles, procedures, and forms meant to completely isolate them from people seeking help. After you figure out which category your grievance belongs to, you will likely be required to have or create an account to successfully fill one of their forms. If your situation does not fit one of their expected scenarios, they become totally unresponsive. They don't ask questions. There's no way for you to ask one either. No way to have a conversation, to know what's missing, to explain anything. No ombudsman. Nothing. A black box.

How do you get through to Facebook for help?

I wonder if wire-fraud applies because IIRC the DMCA claimant gets the video's ad revenue. You have an aspect of obtaining money, it happens over the wire, so...maybe?
how? Edits on Wikipedia are public, including historical monthly backups available over bt all the way back to 2006, and I can ensure Wikipedia servers are serving it correctly by cross-referencing that and the edits. With http, any ISP (whose operators all tend to favor government cooperation) or switch in the middle could sed content to remove or slightly alter known-critical content.

Yes, but the balance point of restricted/unmolested has to move further into restriction territory to account for intransigent vs. bad-day molesters

A higher level optimality can be achieved wherever truly nasty people can be pre-screened out of situations
> The main point is that you started and perpetuated an aggressive flamewar

That makes it clearer, thanks. I do understand the concern about flamewars. I moderated forums myself. However, how will the criticism about things that originate from a specific society, organization or country will even be possible in such an environment then. Any criticism by naming anything would amount to an assault against a group or country under that standard. Or, is it so that if such criticism is raised, but just the origin is not specifically named, that would be compatible with the guidelines?

> Your job is enabled by someone at some point taking a financial risk to start the company you are working at.

That's true. The founders of my employer are mega-billionaires though. I'm not worried about them.

> Your pay is also more than likely built on the back of the less privileged.

That's also true. Capitalism is fundamentally unjust. I donate a huge amount of money to anti-poverty charities annually to help mitigate this.

> What’s the alternative?

I am not certain. But we can't even have this conversation until people stop talking about landlords like they are engaged in some essential charity for renters.
What's up with these comments that are completely detached from any aspects of South Korea? Do they look at the phrases "middle aged men" and "lonely death", and just go auto-pilot on political rants?
I wish Explorer had QuickLook -- pressing spacebar in Finder is super handy.

PowerToys adds command-space, which is a start. Any QuickLook apps on Win10? (Does Win11 have this?)
I don't know if it is a bug or a design change but something I cannot stand with Ventura is that "sticky windows" are less sticky.

In all versions prior to 13 when you move a window to the edge of the screen or against another app window it would "stick" just a bit. You could push past it if you wish but it is a nice way to align windows neatly without overlapping or going off screen.

In 13 you can get it to do that but it seems far less "sticky" than it used to be. I noticed it immediately and hated it.

Does anyone here know if this is a bug (it is still present in 13.1) or a design choice going forward?
Major expenses you're not including, though:

- Property taxes
- Hazard insurance
- Debt service
- Some utilities (water, trash, sometimes even electricity and HVAC, depending on your rental agreement)
- Maintenance and repair of exterior and common spaces
- Repairs and updates after you move out, and before you move in (assuming you have not been in the same apartment for 20 years)

Yes of course you're paying for these things via rent. But the owner's margin is probably much smaller than your math would suggest.

The value provided to you in the owner's margin includes:

- Someone to call if *anything* goes wrong. (Oven broken? faucet dripping? window stuck? Disposal burned out? All problems have one simple solution: Call this number.)
- Flexibility of movement. Want to move at the end of your lease? No problem. (Need to sell to move? That will be a long and/or exhausting process, and will cost you 6% of the property sale price!)
- The security of knowing that you will never be hit by surprise maintenance costs. $30K for a new roof? $20K for a new furnace? $250K for a seismic retrofit? Never going to be your problem.
- The ability to live where you want to! In many locations, there are no apartment-equivalent units for sale.

Some property owners are terrible to do business with, and in some markets/neighborhoods only terrible owners are easily found (there's a reason for this! See also hiring, dating, etc).

But as an exchange of cash for services, the equation is more balanced than you might realize.
If you haven't also check out Zero to Production in Rust, it's an excellent book by the author of this framework.
I like your phrasing of “a growth” rather than “growth”.

Yes, it is a growth in the same way a pilonidal cyst is a growth.
Ask HN: Weather API Recommendations?
With Dark Sky's API going dark, I'd like to find a good API for detailed weather data to (approximately) replace it. Low volume (personal) usage. Apple wants to present minimal data with maximum eye candy, but I want the details. I can build it for myself if I can get the data.
It will increase as you will have less capital flowing in willing to increase supply.
The walking “thing” as you put it was clearly not read by you. I think the author of the paper knows more about it than you. If you think walking isn’t criminalized in America then go out for a walk in an affluent white neighborhood with 4 black teenage boys and experience it for yourself.

We can believe the children of the nation lack imagination or that society has evolved in such a way that discourages walking and free roaming. One of these two seems to me to be a more reasonable explanation for the dearth of children walking in America’s populated areas.

Next time it’s best not to use rural when you don’t mean rural. I go by what people write.
Questions from a financially illiterate: does the switch to Euros carry any disadvantages to average Croatian citizens?

I could be wrong but I seem to remember other EU countries like the Czechs, Sweden and Denmark intentionally avoiding the switch to Euro despite being eligible, and from some articles I read recently, other countries like Finland and Netherlands regretting the switch from their currency as they don't want to have to suffer the proposed persistent high inflation and be punished for being financially responsible in order to help countries like Greece or Italy pay their huge debt.

Also, an older Italian gentleman I spoke to once told me that after their switch to Euros, their prices shot up but wages didn't. Curious how true this is and if the same could happen in Croatia.

Does having control of your own currency that's not pegged to the USD/Euro carry any advantages anymore if you're not someone like China ar is it pointless now?
You can still ask US passport control for a stamp if you really want one.
I don't think this is a good example of robustness: if the change had happened to affect the DER encoding instead of just a field within the DER encoding, this could just have easily been an example of the fragility of binary formats.

Rather, what's happening here is that the interpretation of the parsed format is malleable in an arguably incorrect way. There aren't any great solutions that I'm aware of to that, since the "fix" is to validate the correctness of fields that ultimately don't matter to the operation at hand.
> 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

These things are one and the same. There is nothing to do with billions of dollars outside of buying influence.
I agree with this take, $1b is absolutely nothing in the housing market. It’s like 3000 homes, maybe more in a cheap market, less in an expensive market. It could distort a regional market if it’s all concentrated in one area, but in the grand scheme of things it’s a rounding error.

I am also of the opinion that big landlords are typically preferable to smaller landlords. They are very predictable known entities with brands to protect, and have legal departments that ensure they will follow laws. They may in some cases be more eager to raise rent (although my corporate landlord hasn’t in the last year despite the market rate increasing about 10%) but they’re not gonna do random manual inspections or capriciously fail to perform maintenance, nor do something batshit like change your locks.

The only thing I find problematic is when entities like blackstone purchase SFH for rentals as I see it as a way of capturing value from the middle class (taking the margin that makes home ownership economically attractive) where it wasn’t previously.
I have experimented with the platform and am a huge fan. Thanks for all you are doing - have you thought about or are you integrated with tools like Synthesis AI or Sundial.ai? They don’t cover all of the wide range of data I want to gather, but make it so easy for fixed objects.

The AMA's actions were undesirable, but that just goes to show the power it wielded on behalf of its members, and the occupation it represented. Imagine if the IEEE/ACM could lobby for SWEs as effectively, but in a socially desirable way.

I guess? I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with the history of South-America.

I don't think it's unreasonable for people to primarily focus on their own country in their own time. Historical context is important, sure, both to understand the cause of today's problems as well as put things in perspective. But in the end, I'm not so sure if it really matters all that much when discussing contemporary issues in e.g. the US or Europe.

I mean, you can look up how the ancient Greek treated their women and suddenly you will find that modern feminists from the 70s didn't have all that much to complain about either, never mind contemporary countries like Saudi-Arabia. It's interesting to learn about it for all sorts of reasons, but in the end ... not really all that directly relevant when discussing the status of women in your own country.

The abstract suggests higher ed administrators collect data from “research, administrative operations and other sources” but there is one source not mentioned: donors.

I am absolutely sure that donor data is organized, systematized, useful and generates positive ROI.

It’s surprising that this study would not mention donor data (unless they had a predetermined “struggle with data” point of view in mind)

Sorry for being nit picky but not really. You need to look at the OS that was preinstalled when that particular model was released rather than what OS an individual machine came with.
In my experience people who express this kind of view (a slightly-sweeping, slightly-cynical take on the prevalence of shitty people) also tend to be epistemically overconfident of their grasp on social situations. For example, my opinion of the following quote is that it sounds contrived (Not contrived for the blog post, but contrived in the sense that the "brought the hair with her" hypothesis is itself contrived).

> My experience serving/bartending in restaurants was the same... As an example: one time a lady threw a huge fit about a 2-3 inch smooth brown hair being in her meal when her server was a blond girl and the entire kitchen staff were 35+ year-old Mexicans/ African Americans with completely shaved heads. Now I'm not saying this woman brought the hair into the restaurant and planted it in her meal... but I know for a fact it couldn't have been from any of our staff in the restaurant, so you can make your own decision.

My take is that there's less shitty people and more shitty Bayesians :)

I just tried it and it seems to reliably stick if you slow down as you move it to the edge of the other window, like it's trying to detect if you have the intent to stick it to the other window. If you just move it quickly past, it doesn't stick at all.

There are plenty of other options. You move to the new place, you move your things into storage and you move into an extended stay until you get the lay of the land.

I did something similar. My lease was up and instead of rushing to buy a home. We moved our stuff into storage. We found an extended stay close by and we stayed there six months while our house was getting built.

I had a friend who relocated from Seattle to Atlanta and did something similar.
