People are going to bog you down listing all the practical everyday uses for weapons-grade plutonium, but let's try a different tack. Stipulate for sake of argument that there is something dangerous with no beneficial civilian use, so you want to ban it. But there is public demand for the thing, or a lot of people just hate you banning things and will make every effort to thwart you.

Sellers split the item into parts so none of them individually is the completed item but anyone can buy them and stick them together. So you pass a law that says the "lower bit" is the part that's banned, and they can't sell that part. People start selling "80% lower bits" or whatever the nearest not-illegal thing is that can be converted into it. 3D print files for the part appear on the internet, or detailed instructions for how to manufacture one yourself.

What now? Ban 3D printers and CNC machines? Ban anonymous communications or encrypted communications with anyone outside the jurisdiction, so people can't distribute the parts files? Now you're banning things with beneficial public uses. But if anybody can easily reproduce the thing the thing then the ban is ineffective.
Go into industry not academia. Academia won’t pay well and they do not appreciated good quality software engineering. For most labs, ML is considered a tool, not a primary driver of innovation. Look towards places like Isomorphic labs and similar companies that are cash rich and has a strong engineering heritage.
> But the biggest surprise was the amount of water that the theoreticians needed to account for the signals: more than twice the amount of water found in all of Earth’s oceans. Because Europa is only a quarter of Earth’s diameter, the water must be spread around the moon in a global ocean, 25 to 95 miles deep, beneath a 10- to 15-mile-thick ice crust.

What is this fixation with water to see if Planet X supports life? Antartica would have been more habitable than Sub-sharan Africa if that was the case. What about the average surface temperature (it's -125C btw)? Gravity? Can it support Atmosphere ie, does it have a magnetic field? How much the round trip time be from Earth? Does it have anything at all that can sustain a farming ecosystem?

It's almost as if we just throwing darks in the dark just to find something. Maybe the conclusion is far more banal. There's nothing in the solar system, or maybe even in many light years, that will not be 100x harder to make habitable than least habitable regions of Earth itself.
I would say there are significant differences.

You're not paying towards ownership of a SaaS site. You're paying a monthly subscription fee.

If you're 34 months into a Dropbox subscription you don't own anything. If you're 34 months into your car payments you might have thousands in equity in the car.

Even getting outside of the ethics -- Lots of cities in the US are also automobile-dependent and turning off someone's car seems counter-productive.

We definitely need to push back on these types of controls aggressively, including advocating for consumer protections.
Amazing story! I assume this is why you are supposed to always cite the paper that you have actually read, even if it in turn cites another paper (if you can't access that source yourself). If more people had actually stuck to that rule, finding the problem would have been a breeze instead of a serious investigation.

Many friends and families enjoy staying under one roof. Hotels and apartments rarely offer that to even 2 families of 4. Add in Grandparents and you’re looking at 10-12 capacity. That’s 5-6 hotel rooms and typically nowhere to cook or sit at a table together to eat or play a game.

Many houses sit empty when their owners are away. Why not use that space to house travelers without having to build more hotels?

I think most cities have it backwards trying to regulate the hosts. Hosts aren’t at the property and aren’t usually awake at 1am when issues might occur.

The renters cause the issues, so regulate the renters. Cities could mandate a 25-50% deposit that’s refunded if no noise/parking issues occur. Whoever put the deposit down will likely be at the house and self-policing their group that they invited.

Makes more sense than blaming hosts when most bookings are “instant book”, or even if they do vet, it’s likely just a quick text chat or going off of previous AirBnB ratings (which many hosts rate 5/5 so the guest will return).
OMG I thought I was the only one. I was on team Playstation and my friends at the time were all raving about N64 and i was like "Am I the only one that genuinely thinks this looks WORSE?"

I mean the obvious parallel to slavery, they are property owned by somebody who are not truly free to leave and have been bred to the point of dependence, are regularly neutered, are leashed regardless of need, they are commonly fed kibble produced from waste not fit for human consumption at rendering plants, and so on.

I'm not saying there couldn't be I don't know, a pet owner who took them in off the street or from a shelter, nursed them back to health, and are lifetime companions in a consensual idealised relationship, with the ownership mostly being a legal technicality. Yet there is an ethically dubious side to pet ownership which I could imagine getting the entire institution framed in a negative light in the distant future.

I imagine in the year 3000 there might be a future where schoolchildren will be shown holograms of rendering plants and told by the teacher "And this is what they fed the animals" and then a Labrador Retriever will have an AI write an essay which states that "the ownership or consumption of any animals, is fundamentally a crime against animal rights".
It's not malicious if the user wants it to happen, that's why its asking.
How do you define "fundamental thing"? Are we talking primary production here? Or do you mean a stretch of asphalt road for automobiles? Or a steam turbine for thermal electricity generation? a 3nm silicon chip; the factory that makes 3nm silicon chips; the factories that make those factories; a rocket engine; a mRNA vaccine; an office building; a mathematical proof; an astronomical observation; a tank; a nuclear warhead; a computer algorithm; a song; a child?

Whats wrong with the C apis, did microsoft remove them? I think the best solution to these fickle, buggy new frameworks is to just use what was always there and hopefully would be always supported in future. Moreover it seems many of these new frameworks are strongly tied to a specific language C# instead of a simple C api that can be used from any language. It simply is creating problems for yourself if you choose to select such kinds of technologies.

The latter point is especially ridiculous. We only see "blessed languages" in blatantly user hostile platforms like mobile till now. There weren't blessed languages in desktop till now, and its strange to see this coming to desktops.
Still possible with market segmentation.

Suppose the median home buyer could afford a $300,000 house, but the construction cost for the median existing house is $50,000. $200,000 houses then might exist and the median buyer could afford them, but maybe they have better uses for $150,000 than to buy a house with twelve bedrooms when they only need three.
I agree, that's why I wrote:

In the past technology just meant that we re-defined art and what it means to be an artist. We will continue to do so in the future.

Similar: cars have not completely replaced horses. Horses still exist. People just have a very different relationship with them these days, and we also have much fewer horses (especially per capita) than 100 years ago.
Does sociopathy spread, too? That's more of a problem to an organization.

I hardly qualify as a libertarian, but I have had many good vacations that I could not have afforded without Airbnb.

I understand that some guests are not as courteous as I am, and that I have been reasonably lucky in not having a bad rental experience, but the same holds true for any other hotel stay as well.

It seems to me that a better course of action than outlawing property owners from using it as they please is to provide the essential enforcement to ensure that the property owners do not impinge on their neighbors' enjoyment of their property, not outlawing specific uses all together.
No it's not just "words and punitive policies"! Very real people, common and innocent people, are getting attacked on the streets or having their lives ruined by baseless accusations of being "CCP spies" or even "virus spreaders"!

Anti-Asian discrimination cost Chinese restaurants $7.4 billion during the pandemic's first year, new study finds

A majority of Americans (55%) support limiting Chinese students studying in the U.S. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/03/04/most-americans...

Nearly 90% of the defendants charged with spying are of Chinese heritage. This includes citizens with connections to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and long-standing Chinese diaspora communities in Southeast Asia https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/12/02/1040656/china-in...

The environment is pushing the idea that there's a commie under every bed, so they're massively charging many innocent people, and you deny this is hysteria and even look the other way?!

Now you are even engaging in whataboutism for the 2nd time, right after having accused me of doing it.

For all your talk about being only against the CCP, you sure show that you don't care about the people. You're blatantly denying anti-Asian racism that's flared up as a result of all this hysteria.
You do realize that the bulk of the US population lives in the top 100 metropolitan areas? That's probably why it was chosen as a metric.

Only back to ~2010 which is exactly when the EU introduced the mandate.
For 3, I’m surprised that you think that 30% is pushing low. Personally, the idea of spending over 30% of my income on housing seems incredibly precarious and dangerous. If one person loses their job in a 2-income household, you’re barely getting by, and you’re also spending so much on housing that you can’t save/invest enough to hedge that risk either.

I know many people do it, but it seems like a pretty fair place to cut off if you’re being somewhat careful financially
Hmm, I suppose you're right, beta might be an accurate based on that. Silverblue seems quite stable, but I guess the Fedora project isn't throwing all their resources behind it just. It's interesting because Fedora IOT uses `ostree` too, and isn't "emerging", perhaps because as a server/embedded device OS it's obviously for advanced users?

Re partitioning, it's mostly because the Anaconda installer doesn't support it. It doesn't equipped to deal with the what can be mounted as partitions in Silverblue isn't the same as normal Fedora. So it's not really too difficult if you read the docs and are comfortable with Linux, but it didn't seem worth it to me.

I've been really pleased with Silverblue. The only issue I had was an update silently failing last August. Otherwise, it just took some getting used to installing and running dev tools in toolbox/distrobox.
Same here, maybe it's a privacy feature?
They use CBT for anger management classes, so I think you are right about this. It doesn't stop you from lashing out. It gives you resources that might help you head off that process that usually results in you lashing out.

It doesn't cover underlying causes there. CBT doesn't work by alone. It needs other therapies to complete the cycle.

I'm only arguing against not blaiming "the act of missing an update on a personal device". That's nigh impossible to achieve across the board for all software we use.

I'm not arguing he's blameless. I agree that Plex is blameless. I also agree that LastPass needed a better threat model for privellage escalation/insiders attacks.

That wouldn't fundamentally fix the issue in the long run, just delay it until housing also becomes completely unaffordable in the mid-size cities people move to from the too-expensive big cities.

FWIW, we’ve passed on (what turned out to be) the same excellent candidate(s) multiple times because the other candidates were seemingly stronger.

If you have two almost identical candidates, but the other has better credentials, it’s difficult to turn them down - if you have some HR guidelines to follow
If the houses are unaffordable, then they will remain unsold. What am I missing?

Maybe people who have more money move in from elsewhere. Or else the seller drops the price, or pulls it off the market.

One last possibility: someone buys it who can't really afford it. In that case, either they eventually can make it, or they give up and sell or get foreclosed.
Airbnb opens up tourism to the middle class. The problem, IMHO, is that society views travel as a non-essential luxury, when in reality, it will evolve to become an essential mode of life in an increasingly globalized world.

The low interest rate environment was certainly responsible for the fracking boom in the US.

You can add dynamic rules, but they either need to be compiled alongside the tool or written in a format that the tool can parse. That interchange language can be anything from plaintext to WASM bytecode.

I’ve used the former system (compiling things together in a custom build) in a Rust-based static analysis tool I’ve created. SWC uses the latter system, requiring plugins to be authored in WASM.

Walmart's last quarter sales were about 115 Billion [1]

There are about 4700 stores in the US [2]

That means Walmart has per-store-daily-sales in excess of 200k. According to [3] I'm actually down an order of magnitude (3 million in sales a day for the "average" store)

That would have to be a hell of a lot of theft.

The difference is banning content vs banning a medium.

Its like if there was an e-reader that sat in your living room spying on you, but it displayed books for free. Banning that device is not the same as banning content itself.
Interesting, specially given how hard it has become to rent anything without giving a Schufa report.
The "flatness" in many designs these days really bother me.

My 85 year old dad has completely given up on using technology. He has always struggled with it, but at least in the Windows 95 / Windows 2000 days, things were pretty consistent: an embossed button, that looked like a physical button, was clickable. A scroll bar meant that there was more. Icons usually had significantly different colors from each other and so were easily distinguishable.

Now days, how am I to explain to him what can be clicked, and where you can drag to scroll? Every app has their own "visual design language", and all try to aim to be as flat, colorless, and minimal as possible. You have to know "secret codes" like where to swipe, to do actions. It's tough for folks who don't live and breathe software every day all day.
What about worker threads? When I’ve hit some CPU intensive task in Node I simply offload it to them.
1. You can usually hit a 43% DTI ratio before the banks will start cutting you off of financing. I trust that they know what is affordable and what isn't.

2. It feels acceptable to spend a larger percentage of your income on a new mortgage. That mortgage will stay constant as rents rise around you. That mortgage will stay constant as your household income hopefully increases as you advance in your career.

3. Personally I've never spent more than 22% of my income on housing.

Yes! I've always found Microsoft's "welcome" messages in Windows installation to be extremely condescending and obnoxious (something they have an history of, even if unintentionally, going back to Clippy and beyond)

On the other hand, Apple is guilty of sparse and vague error messages, or not giving any messages at all and letting things fail silently (like when AirDrop or Personal Hotspot magically just not work)
There's usually an app that tells you in real time when the bus will arrive

there is now, but that wasn't always the case. taking advantage of that requires a big change for everyone. for decades people expected busses and trains to be on a schedule, and the worst thing for everyone was leaving ahead of schedule. that simply must never happen.

and even with an app, it's completely useless to know that the next bus is in 25 minutes when i transfer from another bus that arrived on time. only a schedule that makes sure that the timing of the busses is suitable for a transfer can avoid that. or the second bus simply has to wait for the first bus to arrive. a schedule is easier.

Of course, much of that is that many major cities effectively stopped builders from building anything.

See, for example, Santa Monica, which allowed a total of 225 new housing units per year for the past twenty years, and where there are now thousands of new units in planning this year because of California's builder's remedy rules bypassing local refusal.
This is true. But there are also people who buy up properties for AirBnB aren't trying to resource-allocate their own homes like Cloud/IAAS-style and try to use it for purely 100% hotel-like purposes. In doing so they're raising up the home prices, cheating out businesses that pay taxes for being legally allow to hotel, and cause problems for other homes that don't want a hotel in their backyard.
It's funny you are trying to use this argument with me :) the value of mental math was instilled in me as a young man. When I am with family and buying things and they read out fractions or add up costs, they've developed the habit to defer to me to do mental arithmetic because taking out their phones to add things is tedious. Mental arithmetic is easier and requires no time punching in numbers.

I have never used a calculator app on a phone, ever, at least I don't remember the last time I did. The only times where I need to add up a large set of numbers, I get in front of a computer and use a python repl or a spreadsheet, but even then I "pre-stage" the calculation by doing approximations in my head, so I'm sort of ready.

Not letting your tools think for you is how you distinguish a professional from someone who can just push buttons. Don't disservice yourself by allowing yourself to never really learn to the limit of your abilities.
