1) Professional buyers are defined as any person not kin or well known to the seller that has bought another property within the last 3 years.

2) Professional buyers contracts must allow a 30 day cooling off period in which the seller may back away from the agreement without punishment.

3) The 30 day cooling off period is initiated by the buyer prominently posting the offer in the local MLS service or similar prominent and accessible system. The buyer is responsible for ensuring any alternative offers during this period are conveyed to the seller.

4) The buyer and seller may avoid the 30 day cooling period by having a certified appraiser conduct an appraisal of the property and executing the sale at no less than 6% below appraised value.

I could throw in a couple other clauses in there to take care of people "brokering" regular sales to straw buyer or about requiring disclosures that recommend sellers consult with family and/or homeowner advocacy group within the 30 day cooling off period, but that is the crux of it.

This wouldn't eliminate the industry, but it would limit the actions of the worst offenders. Offers dramatically below market value should get counters. The worst consequence seems like it would be that the seller will get absolutely swarmed by realtors trying to convince them how much more money they would get with them.
OP, seems you are very influenced by mass media.

My unrequested personal advice: turn-off the TV and fast-paced social media.

Improved my life quality by miles. Nowadays only listen to radio and read things that matter to me in education or for entertainment. Fast food media is great for dopamine shots at the beginning but toxic for most humans on the long run.
I first read this about 20 years ago, and can honestly say it is one of the most surprising and fascinating books I've encountered, though you need to be open to questioning the "default picture" of human psychology a little in order to get much out of it, I guess.

The book is full of arresting and innovative insights on awareness and perception. For example, the spotlight analogy for "covert attention" is often attributed to Francis Crick writing in 1984[1], but fifty years earlier Milner writes:

> At any moment there exist in the fringes of my thought faint patternings which can be brought to distinction when I look at them. Like a policeman with a flash-light I can throw the bright circle of my awareness where I choose; if any shadow or movement in the dim outer circle of its rays arouses my suspicion, I can make it come into the circle of brightness and show itself for what it is. But the beam of my attention is not of fixed width, I can widen or narrow it as I choose.[2]

It doesn't cause a problem because if the company sets an unreasonably high standard for how many jobs you need to take to not be fired, they'll run out of workers.
Interesting. It seems that the book assumes its audience is exclusively male without explicitly stating it. Might be a fit here for Hacker News, but even that assumption is already reinforcing gender biases.

Sure piracy isn't necessarily a lost sale, but would there be more sales if people could not pirate the game, as with say a ps5 game? Especially in the case of rather widespread piracy in the weeks preceding release where even normal platform users may pirate because it's the only way to play. To what degree I couldn't tell you, it's most certainly not a 1 to 1 like the companies would like to argue, but there's almost certainly at least some amount of loss.
Specifically because they said the experience is better without knowing the other unreleased version they’re comparing it to. Bringing up other releases is irrelevant.
We are collectively coming to terms with how commonplace multi-star systems are <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_system#Multiple_star_syst...> and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star#Research_findings> (see the table, and note how heavier stars are much more likely to be binary+). So it's weird that the very centre of the galaxy might be strikingly different. It's not obvious which of several ways the central black hole could matter is the correct way(s).

The abstract and discussion section of the open access paper <https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/acc93e> both point out that this extrapolative simulation is evidence supporting an upper limit on the fraction of these young centre-of-the-galaxy stars that are in binaries. That fraction (maximum less than 50%) is much lower than the fraction of similar stars seen elsewhere in the Milky Way (approaching 80% are in binaries).

If the results in the paper hold up with further study of our galaxy's central parsec <https://galacticcenter.astro.ucla.edu/index.html> then the paper raises the obvious question: what happened to all the missing binary partners?

Some possibilities: they never formed in the central environment; they did form but they were ejected out of the centre of the galaxy; they did form but they were disrupted ("evaporated" in the paper); the binaries did form but eventually merged together; or some combination of two or more of these. It's also possible that e.g. the central black hole was much noisier (due to feeding and producing a jet) a few million years ago than it is now (it's verrrry quiet), and that the noise back then mattered to this collection of stars. These possible answers require more data.
Assuming this was true, did most shootings also involve cigarettes? A lot of people smoked at that time, so I would presume there were a lot of smokers doing shootings.

Sounds more like correlation to me than causation.
Gaming has been a massive driver of hardware for a very long time in a way that can always be looked at as unneeded. We surpassed more compute for the sake of compute a while ago. The neat thing is that there are still new things to do with it. Real-time path tracing will be the next thing as well as moving more compute over to the GPU. We don’t need it but it will open new possibilities. And it seems less wasteful than running ten copies of Chrome to support a few desktop apps.

The new Zelda demonstrates something that’s been true of every console generation. They are a fixed platform and the later games are always considerably better at utilising the hardware.

That's totally fair on the surface.

But it's also impossible to demonstrate. Nobody can know if the house would've sold for 50K less if a different (less competent) realtor sold it, or if the owner sold it on craigslist or wherever.

Can Zero Trust Security Put an End to Human Security Weaknesses?
My take on zero trust: the industry has once again reinvented things, supposedly for marketing and related purposes, i.e. it is not like these ideas haven't been around ever since Thompson's Turin award lecture.
My god. This almost brings tears to my eyes. I haven't played games for years. Small children and adult life kind of came in the way... I don't miss gaming that much, but I miss Zelda.

The sheer perfection of the Zelda games are just mindblowing to me. I replayed The Legend of Zelda many years ago and it was obvious that the gameplay was still holding up. They got it right from the absolute beginning. And not only that, it is basically the same gameplay still used (at least up to Twilight Princess which is the last major Zelda game I played. They are so consistent.
"He cannot be sure his phone or device isn't compromised."

Well first he absolutely needs a new computer, and a new usb drive that he never used on any of his other devices.

Install some linux distro on his usb drive from the NEW device with full encryption, remove the hard drive, then use PGP from the usb drive.

Then the USB should stay in an absolutely safe space, with a physical way to know if someone tampered with it(maybe same for the laptop, UEFI virus are a thing)

But all of this doesn't matter if he lives in a country where they can just torture you to get your password, in that case you may be able to have a decoy partition with innocent looking stuff on it.(actually you shouldn't even save any sensible information even on the encrypted partition, but there could still be salvageable remnants of it)

> People complaining about the Switch being underpowered are expecting PS5 level performance on a mobile device.

I mean, the SoC on the switch was long in the tooth at launch. It's almost exactly the same hardware as in the tegra shield that came out two years prior, but Nintendo clocks it down to 1Ghz, about half the speed of the shield.

There's some legitimate complaints that it's a dog slow system because of that. For instance this new Zelda is frame locked to 20fps in some areas apparently.
Tech 'broetry' is out of control and needs to be stopped
Time to lean back and do a double take to witness a little pivotal moment on HN?

The common theme of a tech worker looking for options, alternatives and flexibility, but finally answered casually by an employer who seems to "get it", by offering part-time and being located on a neat island?

Other threads are often a pile-ons of complaints from the employee-side, and half-measures and push-backs from the employer-side. So this is neat.

For people who already know English and aren't super into linguistics like you, the answer to "should I learn to speak x" is no.
This advice is leagues ahead, and almost appears to be opposed to the sentiment that I come across often, "You don't need to read entire books and you can just put a book down if you don't like it," which I cannot relate with at all. I want to read the entire book and mostly every book that I decide to read I am interested in to the point where my interest and want for the material that it provides don't ring against a "like/don't like" sort of spectrum.

“WHAT YOU LEARN IN CLASSROOMS IS IRRELEVANT, AND SOMETIMES EVEN WORTHLESS—YOU MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN EDUCATION.”

Currently, with tit-for-tat flight restrictions between Russia and EU/USA, Turkey is the travel hub between Europe and Russia. I wonder if this temporary (one hopes) volume is why they're thinking they're on a growth path.

Then again, after an early outflow of Russians, the volume of passengers must be lower now, especially those flying into the country...
If you've done a number of deals and watch the market closely - you are right, chances are you can get deals done on your own without me. Where I benefit savvy clients though is mostly in a) current market information b) current contract information c) advance / non-public information d) project management e) resources / referrals / connections f) sometimes even with a savvy buyer and seller, it helps to have someone in the middle to bring the deal together, Ie: someone has to do the paperwork and make the trains run on time.

Where I work, there's added complexity to the market in part by the variety of properties and the shortage of skilled agents. Of the licensed agents in the area, only about 30% are actually "full-time" agents, and of that 30% very few will do much outside standard residential work - and we've got several types of specialty agriculture, bare land, commercial, and we are on a state line. Our forms in both states have been going through a surprising amount of volatility the past few years, as have what I'll call "practices", Ie: what's considered normal buyer / seller responsibilities and negotiating chips. For example - with one of these practices I saw a way that our area was behind the times, I started doing things differently and it put my clients in a negotiating position such that my sellers were getting a much higher return relative to comparable properties.

I agree on negotiating skills - unfortunately, the public seem to pick agents based on who they know socially rather than on professional abilities. Finally, to your point about negotiating - one of the challenges for many buyers (and sellers) is that they really don't know the value of a property or where it should sell. So for example many buyers (assuming they aren't in a competitive situation - in which case it's a different set of strategies) will offer some stupidly low number in hopes to get the seller to come back with a reduced price. It's "let's split the difference" negotiating, rather than a data-driven approach. So for example when we go into a negotiation, we don't just index off of the asking price, but rather we've done a market analysis (as a example) of our own and thus have arrived at what we believe to be the fair market price. From that, anything below that number is gravy. So when I not only negotiate below the asking price, but below where we believe the property should fairly sell, then we've really won for the client. Or likewise when I'm on the sellers side, there's a whole slew of ways I set us up pre-market to put us in the best possible position. Even knowing how to read the possibly negotiating strategies for a property, or what "levers and dials" are available in a negotiation isn't something that the general public understands - if you've done a number of deals on your own, you may have developed this expertise.

It's different because you aren't going to end up incarcerated and made a felon with drug convictions on your record for taking your medicine. Your dose is theoretically metered so that you can't exactly abuse it to the point where you're shooting it or taking absurd psychosis triggering doses. Theoretically, your doctor will prevent you from taking higher doses just to get high as your tolerance to it builds up over time. It has the potential to be a much less life ruining/ending situation.

I don't feel this is specifically Ghibli. A lot of it seems common to a wider range of Japanese media, of which Zelda is a prominent instance.

- Flying islands: also featured in several previous Zelda games including Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. It's become a fairly common anime trope, though Laputa is definitely the oldest instance I can come up with.

- Villains with lots of tentacles: That's a very common thing in Japanese media and seems to go back much further than modern anime.

- I haven't watched Nausicaa yet (though I do have it in a Ghibli collection box that I've been slowly working my way through with my family). However, I feel the Zelda villages are basically just picturuesque Japanese countryside.

- I am really looking forward to hearing more of it than I did through the trailers. So far, though, it sounds very much like a riff off of the soundtracks of earlier Zelda games. It makes sense that they're similar. After all, Koji Kondo (who wrote the music for many of the earlier Zelda games) is also Japanese and started his career shortly after Joe Hisaishi. They likely had similar influences.

> Yes, sizing varies for clothing, but this says to me people are being perfectionists when it comes to fit.

A lot of people simply order a bunch of shoes or whatever, try them on like in a retail shop and return everything they don't like. It's often not even about sizing, or at least not exclusively. And this worked for a while, at least as long as the online shop got money from the government to cover losses while making employees piss in bottles.

Not necessary to play an instrument, you only need to "play" the sequencer although you would certainly need a MIDI controller just to input notes. Playing the piano of course would be helpful but it's not like you are going to play synthwave music with your 10 fingers.

For basic music theory I like Nahre Sol's book "The Elements of Music" which is affordable and basically all you need to jumpstart.

Your next best source are Youtube tutorials where people "reconstruct" the songs you like i.e. you need to begin by mimicking the music you like with the soft synths they use combined with some production/mixing techniques knowledge. Alice Yalcin puts quite a lot of stuff at Youtube. And what's not to love from other channels like Bad Gear, Alex Ball or DrMix! After some months you will become familiar to what the different synths are capable of doing and even recognize the sounds from other people sounds ("that's a Juno!" "that's an Emulator!" "that's a 909!") and you will build your software arsenal around that, maybe even getting some hardware that adapts to your preferred workflow.

Me, I'm a Logic Pro + Korg hardware workstation person but I may or may not spend most of my weekends TV time watching these Youtube channels.

Because it demonstrates a Julia library using threads created in the calling C++ code.

That passing of threads between languages is highly uncommon (because many things could fail and make you crash / slow along the way and because if your language can create threads then it likely already has C-like performance so you will not introduce parallel libraries written in another language for performance reasons).
No, you’re applying a specific meaning to an inherently nebulous term, debullshitification.

And honestly, I immediately knew what that meant when I read it. My preferred news source, which isn’t horrendously partisan, still has…exactly what I’d call bullshit. If that’s removed, I’ll get more bang for my buck in reading it, and that both provides immense value, and something that I’d call “debullshitification”, whilst working purely from the articles provided.

I did not claim to have an ADHD diagnosis. I stated I was taking off-prescription and shared the dosage - well below a typical adult prescription amount. It's entirely possible I do not have ADHD, but I did see significant benefits, the ones you describe like a silent mind, attentiveness, patience, for a period of time. Then those things faded away, I stopped taking, and experienced side-effects as my body normalized to not taking.

Is there a way I could've shared my story that would've been less upsetting?
