No they're not. If anything they're associated with dodgy leasehold, dodgy management fees and dogdy cladding.

None of which are usually issues in a house.

Otherwise there are a lot of luxury apartments.
> they can't even tax them correctly

They can, but corruption is getting in the way of doing so.
Yea this looked a bit odd, and I'd not heard anyone say it before. I have therefore made a mental note for job interviews: "I was attracted to your job ad by your tech stack, but I made the application because I was just BLOWN AWAY by your awesome mission to re-invent inventory cataloguing."

Well, we may use it to re-implement a GC in Rust!
1. Salary is your company's money that becomes your money.

2. Capital tax is tax on your company's money.

3. Income tax is tax on your money.

With either tax, the economic system that consists of you and your employer is being robbed.

Speaking of which, if someone takes your groceries and runs, just before you have paid for them, that is shoplifting. If it's just after you paid, it's robbery. You might think you're better off with the former, but shoplifting raises prices; some of it is shifted onto you, so that it is effectively robbery.
Voice Dream Scanner on iOS recognizes pages and text and performs OCR. You just go snap snap snap.

For text that is sufficient. If you want to capture the layout also, or graphics, things get much more complicated. Even just getting headings requires post processing. So yeah, proper ebook vs just extracting the text are two different problems.
Price control, rent control, capital flow controls and generally any policy that try to hamfistedly go against the invisible hand of the market have indeed failed repeatedly and catastrophically when used over a long period.

However, as Keynes pointed out, in the long run we're all dead and yet the free market works its magic over the long run. In the short term, there's panics and opportunists that destructively exploit crisis situations. I think it was Stiglitz who pointed out that a few countries that temporarily blocked capital flight during the 90s Asian crisis recovered much more quickly than the rest.
I guess the main thing would be if people were trying to use this as an example of "poor kids from the hood achieving" then the fact they went to a private school makes it a less good example.

Rents increase to suck all money out of the system. The more you are productive and the more you earn the more the rentiers will charge.

Unless supply is higher than all possible demand that will always be the way, but people won’t actually tackle this because some old dear in a 5 bed house they inherited 50 years ago might have to pay their way
Yes, you are right, thank you. After I have posted my comment, I started reading about PHPickerViewController and it totally makes sense.
How much is M1 linked to the amount of money that is circulating? If that money is parked and not circulating, it cannot drive inflation.
Except, crypto honestly seemed like it had utility but really didn't... I've had this thing just create pretty decent youtube shorts with zero knowledge or very little advice on how to do it, and also tweets, instagram posts, etc... it's now working on creating direct to etsy store items from midjourney using 'tiled layouts', digital downloads for paper/etc...

The people in charge of both of these projects are using it to also actually continually improve itself. The one dude isn't a developer and doesn't know how to code, he's a VC. That's insane by itself. I've been through hype trains, but this is more foundational/bigger than anything we've experienced.

Even without AGI we could create a single software that can deliver any layout a user wants, any outputs, from any inputs... it's an accounting software, ERP, CRM, Paintshop, etc... everything one app, because you don't even need to write functions, simply writing the function name and it's attributes is enough for the AI to figure it out.
It's sawdust and glue if you buy the absolute cheapest IKEA stuff. And even that is pretty good quality considering the price. IKEA does sell furniture made out of real wood too, it naturally is just more expensive.

This is not true, otherwise you could not implement static i18n.

Also I don't want to squash them either but dynamic vs static is for instance much more appropriate, it's a shortcut for request-time vs build-time server rendering.
Can you still exit to Mexico via unattended turnstile?

That means the US wouldn't always have a record of the exit date.
What kinda shift? You mean lots of people talking about AI? I just think that it's what is hot in tech right now and a lot of people here are close or work with startups, so they are sharing and talking about what is big in there world right now.

Or do you mean lots of different/new people? Me? I don't even work for a startup, i'm a lowly tech support engineer, but I come here because I like the tech discussion plus the more intelligent discussion on other things, reddit has become trash for anything I like, it's full of people that have no idea about anything they are following and they argue like children, hacker news is the one place I can come for sharing interesting content and discussion now, as everywhere else on the internet that seems interesting to me has become saturated by nonsense, I suspect more people are finding hacker news for that reason too.
No way anyone buys it off Musk for what he paid for it. It wasn't worth that when he bought it, and he's only lowered it's reputation, advertising income, market position and internal abilities.

Not to mention the various legal suits over Musk's firing "process", the rent / building use and whatever other lawsuits that keep popping up due to Elons "don't find anything out about this before making a big public decision on it" approach.

On a related note, I cycle a lot, and I wondered if the health benefits of doing so were outweighed by all the particle pollution I had to be breathing in from motor traffic. But apparently the air quality is even worse inside cars compared to outside:

The problem is the consumer. Consumers are ultimately enablers for this behavior. They just keep buying shit, no matter how expensive it gets. And there’s often cheaper alternatives, but no, the consumer keeps buying grossly inflated things.

As long as we’re discussing ridiculous things like price controls, let’s perhaps discuss consumption controls where consumers can only be allowed to purchase certain things at specified amounts and frequencies. In a society that eventually transitions entirely to digital payments, this kind of control should be easy to implement through a centralized authority.
Right. This is silly. I’m wondering: If it’s 80 years out of print, is it still protected by copyright at all?

The thing with copyright is, it seems to me: You cannot ask for them to change the rules. You just have to break them. Imagine Google had asked copyright lawyers if they could build their search engine. Crawling other peoples websites, keeping an index of their content, and then make people come to Google because “that’s where all the content is“. Would have never gotten off the ground. But now that Google exists, and even the copyright lawyers use it, it’s obvious that this is legal.

Lawyers and politicians are followers, not leaders. And much of technology is about circumventing their yesterday-values.

What did Peter Thiel say about the Internet? The world of atoms was over-regulated. So businesses fled into the world of bits. It’s a cat and mouse game. Whatever you do, better make sure you’re the cat.
Not necessarily, but more often so than not. Even the competitions that you mention are only valuable to other hobbyists, and only in so far people's free times allow. Non-hobbyists are not likely to pay much to see those competitions. And when free time runs out, those hobbies are amongst the first things to go.

The original article is. The whole thing is presented as if it's some moral failure on the part of CEO's. Their only solution is price controls. There isn't one mention of breaking up the huge number of monopolies which dominate nearly every area of commerce.

I don't know you so the following could be wrong or condescending, please take it as a general consideration towards people in a similar state of computer science fatigue and it really talks more about me than you: before learning a new language only because of a latent feeling of guilt please consider there is a world of knowledge not directly related to CS and STEM that could literally broaden your senses or at least the way you approach reality.

Rust has an advantage in the serverless world as cold starts are faster in general. Which can prove advantageous in various scenarios.
I mean the framework can of course differientiate those use cases clearly, static and dynamic still exist in Next 13 App Router. But making them totally separate is a mistake too. Namely what bothers me is that a few points made in the docs or by users in this comment section show a limited visions of static rendering. It is certainly not limited to generic content that is the same for all users, I've built enough counter-examples to prove it.

I mean this special case is also trivial, so it seems pretty reasonable to omit it. Feels quite uncharitable to describe this proof as a nice trick and then claim its incomplete because of such a simple special case. Mathematicians wouldn't consider this incomplete when the "missing" case can be solved almost by looking at it.
When I visited the US I was surprised that there's no passport control on departure. Like, at all. I even thought we somehow went wrong way when we got to the gates after TSA, but nope. We asked an employee and were told that that's the way it is in the US. UK is also like that.
> Fukushima was a risk that was hard to ignore.

Politically hard to ignore? Yes.

Practicaly hard to ignore? No. Germany doesn't get any tsunamis and even if it did, the consequences of a fukushima level accident every few decades are less bad than the direct pollution effects of coal, even ignoring the CO2.

This whole NFT debacle would be fun for me if it didn't cost me a dear friend; he's been working full-time on his "collection" for almost two years now, convinced he's "just around the corner of making millions" out of it when it's obvious the ship has long sailed. I guess there's more to it than just NFT craze, and he's probably struggling with other things, but his new "know-it-all NFT bro" persona makes it impossible to even approach him with a normal conversation.

Weird rant, I know. I simply don't know what to do anymore.
Yes and no, it's caching at application level instead of network level with cache headers. HTTP caching is slightly more limited because the cache key is harder to tweak, so it's harder to cache paid content this way for instance.

What's interesting here is that it's not really affecting the perception of people who believe in web3.

As someone who's working on a decentralized product, I speak with nft creators and collectors every day. They see this as a confirmation that Meta wasn't really in. There was also a perception that Polygon NFTs aren't as valuable.

Interestingly, Reddit has managed to sell Polygon based profile pictures fine, and there is a healthy market for their avatars.
But that's entirely different issue.

The way to "curb" it would be to just give part of the band as "free for all".

Then they can chase people running shittily designed transmitters separately
Looking at Europe, I’d say it’s accurate.

Then you go to the opposite direction, and the math still holds, but now you have inverses. And those inverses, at proportionality final formulae in the text, still gives you the Pythagorean formulae. I suggest you do see the original text.

Use a single value register then in place where I said “register”.

> partition means that different subsets of nodes in a single system have different views on reality

Partition means that nodes of a (single) network are (temporarily) not connected.

In the example discussed here, blue and green were in different partitions thus had “different view” to the state. Once synchronized, their view on the state is consistent and both observe both values, blue being the latest state.

> is no longer represented in the history of v when the partition heals

Please review the above discussion again and the original article. You keep saying this but it’s shown in both that it’s is not true.

This doesn't change the fact that only a portion of Outlook users use the new version, so the "no longer needed" statement in the headline is a bit exaggerated.

The public healthcare rate is indeed 14.6% but half of that is paid by your employer. Of course in the end it doesn’t matter, just that only 7.3% from your gross income will be reduced (also there are rates for nursing care insurance, pension insurance, unemployment insurance – a middle-class income pays 35–50% for tax and insurance).

Public healthcare is obligatory for all employees except you’re earning more than ~65000€/year or are a civil servant. In which case you are entitled for private health care which might be (or in fact is) more expensive but has more options for treatments and some prioritizing on waiting lists and doctor’s appointments.

Family (husband, wife and children) is always insured for free except they are also employed. Children have to pay seperately after reaching age of 25, and if they still study they pay only a low flatrate.

The rate is always 14.6% of gross income except for very low incomes, in which case the employer pays everything, or very high incomes. There is a cap: everything above 65k is not rated – which seems unfair to me.
> Okay, now, can you explain to me how an FM transmitter, transmitting somewhere between 87 MHz and 108 MHz will interfere with your emergency services?

The fifth harmonic will land squarely in the chunk of band between about 435MHz and 500MHz, and being roughly 200kHz wide even assuming they're not overdeviating like hell it'll obliterate a huge chunk of the band. Given how poorly constructed many "pirate TXes are it's almost a given that they'll have ridiculous amounts of out-of-band radiation.

There's one very popular design available on the Internet which I won't link to but will leave as an exercise for the reader, which has a rather nasty sproggie that's only about 10dB down at around 156MHz when it's tuned for about 104MHz. Now, that chunk of the FM broadcast band is quiet around here, but the sproggie passes through the transmitter's largely untuned (at least, broad as a barn door) PA and out the antenna.

The whole thing is not terribly efficient at radiating something 200kHz wide all over the bottom end of the Marine VHF band, but it sure is noticeable.

Source: literally my day job.
On the partial sums, okay, I see.

Though, still for the 45-45-90 I don't think you can pick a different angle? At least for alpha > 45 (because it also doesn't work for this, the lines diverge), you can always swap it so beta is > 45 for those cases. If you pick something other than 90 to be 2 alpha, the reflection mentioned in step 1 can't be done
This would solve all Europe's energy problems. We "just" have to convince and compensate less than 1% of the European population.

Although I'd personally expect Samsung to be huge there as it's their home market.

I have to agree overall though. Here in Spain most people use Android and midrange ones at that. If you see an iphone it's usually ancient or an SE or simply in the hands of a tourist.

For a normal Spanish wage an iphone is just too expensive. And the SE with its 7 year old design just not interesting enough for the huge price they still cost here.
Perhaps it would help if we banned ads.

It could solve a whole bunch of other problems too.
Taking the question at face value, the answer is: massive amounts of capital. And barriers to entry like that make the 'the free market will solve this' argument less convincing.
