I see you didnt reciprocate the courtesy of not making an argument from personal incredulity. These things are complex af. When the people who optimize supply chains all day every day tell me that speculation market is more of an hindrance than help, I'm not going to take your random argument to be worth anything.
> that they expect you, the tenant, to not understand your rights and the laws that enforce those rights

It could well be that they themselves don't understand your rights. Sure, in the case of the security deposit, they should be smart enough to know what this is.

But many landlords are just normal people with other jobs, where being a landlord is not a job to them, but an opportunity to earn money by renting. While one should be able to expect them to know the relevant laws, I bet that most of them don't care to bother because of the time and effort it takes.
I'm not arguing for or against higher taxes. Just stating what I see about facts about the relationship between taxes and inflation under MMT thinking. (And I'm not a fan of MMT, btw.)

Inflation happes when there's an imbalance between supply and demand. MMT argues for increasing deficit spending to fund all sorts of social programs. It also argues that the purpose of taxes is not to "balance the budget", but rather to tamper the inflation that tends to follow overspending.

The alternative (increasing interest rates) doesn't work properly under MMT, since treasury bonds cannot have a real interest rate, or the deficit spending would eventually break down. That means that under MMT, purchasing power of consumers must be pulled back using taxation of various sorts, which only works if you tax the consumers.

The problem with MMT (the way I see it) is that adjusting taxes to regulate inflation is probably an even more painful approach for most people than using the interest rate.

Anyway, the fact you need to tax the actual consumers to fund social programs remains the same, even in more traditional social democratic/keynsian approaches, even if they use the interest rate to regulate inflation.

If you look at northern Europe (where I live), taxes on the middle class are much higher than in the US. They're also higher for the poor, but with the increased social benefits, free healthcare, etc, it matters less for them.

Oh, btw, a lot of the taxes collected ARE, as you propose, collected as sales or luxery taxes, as well as employers taxes (hidden income taxes) Where I live, the direct income tax is "only" around 45%. However, the base sales tax is 25%. The employers tax (tax on employers for paying salaries, in other words a hidden income tax) is 25% (if you make more than $100k). For some items, such as cars, fuel, alcohol, tobacco, cosmetics, sugar/candy, etc, there are additional taxes, often well over 100% of the base cost.

All-in-all, I suppose, out of the salaray budget that my employer allocates to me, 75-80% ends up as taxes, somehow.

And I'm middle class, not rich and not poor. If the left in the US really wants to have a European style welfare state, this is about the level that allows for that.

If given the facts about this, I doubt many American's would want to switch. On the other hand, few people over here would want to switch in the other direction, too, since they're used to the taxes and the benefits they buy.
I wonder if it really is harder, or maybe the solution is just less obvious?

The Small Tech Feature I Am Grateful For, and It’s Not AI
It was a joke, obviously. They're called adverbs.
COPPA already exists and websites that properly adhere to it ask for age verification (granted usually in no verifiable capacity) and refuse service to anyone under 13 years old.

Personal anecdata, way back in the 90s in my childhood, a games website I used to frequent actually demanded potential users (read: kids) under 13 years old to fax in written consent from the parents to collecting information. Websites used to actually take COPPA seriously back then.

If this bill makes compliance to COPPA more stringent, well, the law already mandated it anyway. Kids and can't-be-arsed parents will find workarounds, no doubt, and the world will keep spinning.

As an aside, I would rather the US government handle identification (they already have all the goods anyway) than the likes of GAFA.
Sounds like a fun workplace!

Here's a few more we use:

-Wvla

Warn about any use of stack-allocated variable length arrays. There are a couple of reasons why these are bad: without care they can cause exploits where a caller specifies a very large array which crashes the program. And they are a problem where stack space is limited (kernel code, threads on 32 bit machines).

-Wframe-larger-than=5000 -Wstack-usage=10000

Prevent large stack frames. Same reasons as above.

-Wshadow

Prevent shadowed variables, eg. a local variable with the same name as a global.

-Werror

Turn warnings into errors. Only use this for developer builds though, because newer compilers introduce new warnings and that will cause problems for downstream packagers.

-fno-omit-frame-pointer

https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2023/02/14/frame-pointers-vs-dwar...

-fvisibility=hidden

When building a library, make sure all symbols between compilation units but within the library are not exported. Basically reduces the load-time overhead and prevents random ELF symbol interposition. If you use this, then to export a symbol you have to use '__attribute__((__visibility__("default")))'.

-fno-strict-overflow -Wno-strict-overflow

(Controversially) unbreaks the C compiler by allowing signed overflows to do the obvious thing.
A system to verify age is not needed. Simply making it illegal and holding parents accountable is enough.

It's one of those things where perfection is the enemy of good. Some kids will do it anyways but parents can install hard to remove monitoring software on devices and the penalty can be similar to a somewhat serious traffic citation.

Lithium Triangle[1]. "a region of the Andes that is rich in lithium reserves, encompassed by the borders of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile.[1] The lithium in the triangle is concentrated in various salt pans that exist along the Atacama Desert and neighboring arid areas, the largest areas including Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, Salar de Atacama in Chile, and Salar del Hombre Muerto in Argentina.

The area is thought to hold around 54% of the world's lithium reserves."

Well, not any more maybe. A large lithium deposit has been dis-covered in Iran as the internationalbanker article notes. (Unusal hyphenation of discovered intentional: it was uncovered, made more widely known, rather than found for the first time ever.) Now that it's in demand, no doubt there are many more deposits of lithium waiting for the limelight.

Wikipedia continues: "By one estimate Argentina could displace Chile as the second largest lithium producer by 2027.[3] Similarly, there are estimates the posits [sic] Argentina producing 16% of the World's lithium by 2030, instead of 6% as in 2021.[3] Low royalty payments when compared to Chile are cited by The Economist as a particular advantage.[3]"

Here's the thing about reviews and the media: anything negative about Tesla gets clicks, that's why every single accident involving a Tesla makes headlines. Another factor is that most auto companies pay for advertising in the media while Tesla so far has not, biasing reviews and coverage in favor of the companies that are paying the bills.

The problem is a lot of it is not publicly available. E.G: I asked chat gpt to help me install Python on Ubuntu 22.04, and it failed miserably.

Why? Because 22.04 is recent and many pitfalls it comes with haven't been much documented yet.

And it also don't know what is never written, but implicitly known if you deal with a lot of beginners. E.G: people get utterly confused with *args and **kwargs in Python, because it can be used at 2 different places, and depending of those places, it does completely different things. The latter is well documented, but that the brain of people cannot grok it is not.

So chatgpt will explain the same things as most of the doc, without realizing that what it needs to do is to warn humans that they are going to be confused and how to avoid it.

Humanity has a lot of implicit knowledge.*

Early this year I had cold symptoms that just could not get away. I was getting sick, recovering and getting sick again. After some 2 - 3 weeks I have accidentally learned about long covid / cfs. I have immediately made myself believe I had this and experienced sharp worsening of symptoms - at some point feeling so tired I thought I was going to pass out. I was doing that pacing thing to the extreme, believing I have no energy, for some 2 weeks, my life was hell of only about 1 - h / day of not laying and doing nothing. Not to mention the severe trauma of thinking that my life is over. Trying to do whatever cognitive activity for more than 10 min resulted in a severe headache. After 2 weeks I got covid, I was still laying down all day anyway but I passed it with minor symptoms. 2 days after I thought, wait a minute, maybe it was all fake symptoms, the sharp increase in symptoms after learning about it, the fact that it was not covid that initiated it in the first place. I felt a bit off, slightly a bit off for a few days but I was able to carry on with my days as usual and then I felt 100% well. The problem is that I have got slightly sick one month later and experienced similar, cannot get well, for some one week.Then 2 months later, I got sick again, and it was the same thing with recovering and feeling sick. It's round and round, feeling shitty for 2- 3 days (able to do work though), feeling good for 2 - 3 days, I have had this for a month now but each time it occurs it has a smaller impact. I have yet to find out what it is for sure, I hope it's all made up, whenever it hits I'm actively trying to convince myself that it's not real and try to ignore it. Anyway, I have learned the hard way that hypohondria is not just anxiety / fear about falling ill for some disease, the imaginary symptoms can be much more severe than "my chest hurts, do I have some heart disease?".

I have a Sandy Bridge machine still serving me dutifully as a sub computer to my main computer, so I know all about old hardware never really dying from impracticality especially since 2011 onwards. Hell, I still have a Pentium 4 machine running XP for the stuff that needs/wants that too.

As I already said, if you want to keep running Windows 10 (or 7, or XP) it's perfectly fine. Tell everyone who screams "SECURITY!" at you to screw off, they all want to sell you something.

Even if you do upgrade to a new machine, why does someone have to throw away their old one? Keep it as a sub computer, or give it a new role in your life. Windows 11 mandates TPM2 and SecureBoot, but it doesn't mandate throwing your old machine in the trash.

After a positive reception by the HN community five months ago [1, 2], this small project has reached a 1.0 milestone with:

* Encrypted instance import/export using age file encryption

* Secure credential configurations

* Instance autostart

* Multiple quality-of-life improvements, including instance tagging

The goal of this project is to enable MacOS users to:

* Easily spin up and manage lightweight Alpine Linux
environments.

* Use tiny VMs to take advantage of containerisation technologies, including LXD and Docker.

* Build and test software on x86_64 and aarch64 systems.

Yes, but don't turn it on except in developer builds. For downstream packagers it's a pain if a newer compiler adds a warning which then breaks the build.
Most future positions are closed out or rolled before delivery - so open interest can easily exceed demand for the underlying.
not sure why your comment is downvoted.

The only way to ensure discipline and rid a large code base of warnings is to use -Werror

It may sound drastic until you're the poor intern that needs to refactor an active codebase with thousands of warning. Other than the technical debt it creates you're setting yourself up for having serious issue slipping through in all the noise.

"But some warnings might be false positives" ?

If one really must override the behavior it should be done explicitly and with a strong justification. This is possible either with a pragma[1]

#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wfoo"

or by globally[2] removing the entire warning category.

-Wno-foo

No, because there are entire classes of regional/intercity* trains that Germany is providing with the 49EUR ticket that can't even exist within Luxembourg. A German going 100km may well still be within Germany, a Luxembourger going 100k is now on an international trip, one that Luxembourg's free tickets obviously don't cover.

The further trains go, generally the more expensive tickets are, because you get fewer economies of scale compared to local trips within a metro area, and infrastructure upkeep is probably more expensive for such long trips through more remote areas.

For myself, I rarely read out Haskell code ‘literally’ (to the extent that I read any code literally at all; I’m not sure I have much of an internal monologue). Instead I tend to perceive it at a higher level: say, ‘modify a state variable s to fromMaybe s (f s)’ for ‘modify $ \s -> fromMaybe s (f s)’. Reading it out character-by-character would be as pointless as reading an ordinary word that way, like reading ‘cee-aye-tee’ instead of ‘cat’.
It is frightening, how little tenants are protected from being kicked out by the landlord in the US. Are there major differences between the states?

In contrast to that, I believe tenants are too well protected in Europe, or at least Germany, from sitting out in the cold. For example, if a tenant has not paid rent in months (and is not planning on doing so) it still is legally difficult to put them on the street. I think the term for that is squatter?!

This is a very American question, driving is not the only way to leave your house.

Obviously it's silly to drive to the gym only to run on a thread mill, but that's not what the article is about, it's about lifting heavy.

Lifting heavy can't be replaced with lifting a lighter weight many times, it trains very different things. And using rocks or branches is not a practical solution. If you can't get to a gym and can't afford to buy your own weights, a better way is to look into calisthenics. You'd really only need to buy a door post pull up bar or similar and you're set.

Shouldn't be too difficult. The main thing you'd need is a dictionary that's as close as possible to covering the entire language (ie a digital-first one rather than a digital representation of a paper dictionary), and at least one but ideally several frequency lists. Ideally in the JSON format that Yomichan uses, as that's what the script for generating the data currently expects, but if not then the data can always be massaged. Then you just need to replace the specifics in the app (hardcoded frequency list names etc) with the stuff for your language.
