In my case I'm dealing with a condo, so no standard master policy nor any HO6 policy would cover loss of use. An umbrella policy might cover it, and you could certainly find something bespoke but it would hardly be worth the cost.

For a single-family home I would've been covered but the amount of loss-of-use coverage is generally tied to the rest of the coverage you've got which is tied to the value of your home. With the cost of 'short term' housing (at least in the Bay Area) you're likely to blow through your limits pretty quick even if you ignore all of the other costs related to loss of use (commute, food, utilities, etc.).

Keep in mind the vast majority of homeowners insurance policies aren't "we're going to make you whole", they're "we'll pay for certain, named events up to a dollar amount". The things that your carrier excludes are likely to be things that every other carrier in your state will exclude.

Besides the bet that you'll save money with a $10,000 deductible falls apart once you make a second claim in fifty years. The best numbers I could find suggest that homeowners typically file a claim every 9–10 years. You've likely already blown through the projected savings by the second decade, by year fifty? The lower deductible would've been much cheaper.
They don’t want aggregator apps to log in without paying. Appletv will show me new shows on multiple platforms all on one screen. HBO doesn’t want people doing this without paying.

You misunderstood what so many people here wrote with even more snark and a bad quote. It could and probably will replace my job and I have no contingency plan in place leaving me at great risk. That’s a given it seems. What isn’t is giving an estimate on a dollar amount and of time. Especially with any scientific rigor. The tool in the link is silly and that is what everyone is talking about. Perhaps you should try to be less bias reading the comments here.

You're arguing from today's legal framework. I'm not interested in today's legal framework. My point is debt doesn't need to exist and we could operate more efficiently using a currency with a pre-defined supply with efficient equity markets.

There's nothing wrong with having these Governors and Senators nominated by the Prime Minister. To be fair, it sounds a lot like here in the US, where unsurprisingly, Supreme Court Justices nominated by a certain party tend to agree with said party.
I agree it's not impenetrable, that's why I'm working on this problem. What I disagree with is the "this is trivial" statements.

I agree with that this is not the right approach despite all the media hype, my research has been (more or less) attempting what you've proposed.

> A Longformer with full attention to input sequence, and sliding window attention to a large dictionary could be a decent way to find tune a system like this, but there are few that try it.

Good idea, although I'm biased as we tried this ourselves! Problem is the dictionary (ontology) doesn't exist. RadLex and UMLS are far too inadequate in coverage. Actively working to address the gaps and hope to have something to open-source within the next couple of months.
Yes, that's the idea of the project.

One can now compile against cuBLAS and other GPU libraries to help take some of the load, but the core of the project is indeed to run on the CPU and do all of the work without dependencies.
Looks like it uses luaj to run scripts from kotlin, and the whole kotlin project can use the Kotlin/JS compiler to target the browser.

Virtual particles are calculational tools. They aren’t concrete things the way you’re proposing them to be. They are closer in character to “completing the square” than they are a an actual physical object.

They are great for trying to help human brains make concrete the details of the process. But again they are just artifacts of the way we do our computations.

And the Higgs field is a particularly great example of this. If you shift a sin wave 90 degrees it becomes a cosine wave. If you don’t expand about the lowest energy of the Mexican top hot potential for the Higgs field it creates an entirely different description of the physical phenomena and virtual particles.
Vtach and Vfib are the two shockable rhythms. Those are common in many medical emergencies. Just because the patient doesn't have a feelable pulse doesn't mean they have "flatlined" and don't have a shockable rhythm! You have to put the AED electrodes on their chest to be sure.

If the patient has truly flatlined (asystolic) then shocking them won't bring them back. That only works in the movies.

In a sense, yes, but not so much so that DoH is a dispositive argument for deprecating it.

The difference is that DoH protects transactions and DNSSEC protects the authenticity of records. It's perfectly possible for a DoH server to feed you bogus cached records; you have to trust the DoH server you're talking to, where you wouldn't have to do that if all the records on the chain of lookups you're doing are signed with DNSSEC, and you're running DNSSEC on your local system rather than a stub resolver than talks to full resolver server you have to trust (this is an uncommon set of circumstances and in practice you have exactly the same server trust problem with DNSSEC that you do with DoH).

Muddying the waters further, the attacks DNSSEC protects against overlap with the ones DoH protects again, so that if the whole Internet managed to switch to DoH, you'd have bottom-up built 95% of the security feature DNSSEC is attempting to provide (DoH has massively better deployment stats than DNSSEC, so this is plausible).

It's better to think of DoH as one of a catalog of different arguments that together make a clear case for sticking a fork in DNSSEC and calling it done.
> meritocracy is the gold standard

Meritocracy is a dystopia that we somehow warped into its opposite, a utopia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_of_the_Meritocracy

This seems to happen with many philosophical ideas: Christianity has become staunchly capitalist, the direct opposite of everything that Jesus taught; Communism, the dictatorship of the working class, became the dictatorship of the non-working elite class, etc.

For me, peak-design-pattern hit right about the time I worked on two different JVM-in-Java projects (2002-ish and 2008-ish). The problem, I finally realized, is that Java programmers are taught that every class is a special snowflake in need of armor and adornments. A good Java class should be honking and hollering! It should never expose a field, never have coupling with another class that couldn't be interposed upon, and should always factor commonality into a superclass. At a minimum it should have fifteen methods, repeat the same names at least 7 times each, and be JavaDoc'd to the point your eyes are bleeding. Even if it just holds three fields and does nothing at all. ESPECIALLY IF IT DOES NOTHING AT ALL. It must pretend to be important! It should be long enough that you spend most of your time scrolling. If you aren't scrolling, you aren't coding!

What. A. Nightmare. It's like trying to build an internal combustion engine and every moving part has three extra degrees of freedom, in case you wanted to pull a piston out in the middle of the freeway and use it to wipe your windshield! Just in case you want to do that, a piston can also function as a wheel, a cigarette lighter, or a potted plant. And of course it has the, ahem, armor (?) to do all of that. In fact, every nut and bolt and rod and wire has extra armor on it. They aren't bolted together, they are held with miniature six-axis robot arms, just in case. And everything has plating. Thick metal plating. Bullet-proof plating. Everything indestructible. Getters and setters everywhere! Can't you see how much better they make things! The design is so much better with getters and setterrrrss!

Needless to say, I don't write code like that anymore. I prefer to write in Virgil, to make my fields public and immutable, initialized in the constructor or the anonymous zone, and when I need six classes to cooperate to do a job, they do, and they don't put armor on for friends. Private applies to a file, everybody's friends there, no surprises.

But I don't expect anyone to follow me or worship it. I won't claim amazing design skills. Just trying to make things work without a lot of extra work or surprises down the line.
Isn't IQ both highly inherited and highly correlated with achievement? And if both those are true then isn't the idea of meritocracy ultimately mostly still down to luck of birth?

Have you thought about counseling?

Since you've already admitted that you aren't actually from the US, which of the following do you believe / not believe:

1. The US has social programs and educational programs that assist economically underprivileged people in racially independent ways

2. In the US, there are particularities of racial relations and history that make groups like Native and African American populations particularly underserved even when accounting for economic status

3. Social programs that attempt to address (2) are morally objectionable, even if there are particular racial issues unique to the US's history and culture that make race a distinct class in addition to economic class.

(One thing I find particularly odd is that people seem to generally favor anti-caste-discrimination regulations on HN, but find anti-US-race-discrimination laws. But both of those stem from the same underlying recognition: caste and race in the US are both strongly correlated with economic class, but even restricting to equivalent economic situations, lower-caste people in India (and subcultures where there is significant Indian cultural influence), and African American people in the US are more likely to face discrimination).
Yes.

You should also help black children, no matter their economic status, because they are discriminated against compared to their economic peer groups in many facets of life, including education.
> I think it would be more interesting to expose how the bytecode becomes JS.

There's no bytecode emitted -- Kotlin is unique among JVM languages in that it acts more like a frontend, similar to LLVM or GCC.

The Kotlin code is translated from an IR/AST into JS directly. The JS is one of many target languages for the Kotlin compiler.

Typically, if a business accepts cards, part of their agreement with the card-processing company is that they cannot charge a surcharge. Card transactions have to be the same price (presented to the customer) as cash transactions. (I forget how gas stations get around this.)

I do tend to see "card transactions under $X will have a Y¢ surcharge" handwritten signs in smaller businesses. I don't know if that's permitted or if MegaGloboCorp simply hasn't cared that the dive bar or taqueria isn't holding to their contract.
Initiating no, but if your chosen peer is also behind NAT, you will not be able to connect to them.

For this reason, your selection of peers will be limited. As all other peers behind NAT without port forward will be disregarded.

If you do have a port forward, other peers can connect to you, thus having all peers available.
Some people miss the old user interfaces. Windows 95, XP, 2000 etc. What is the reason? We had some programs with a horrible interface (Real Player, for example), but never with this level of stupidity.

Because this sort of research was started by a stupid letter by a Physicist to the US president: work on nuclear fission now because ... probably a huge bomb can be made with this process.

That physicist was Leo Szilard ... and he was right. Not researching it at any point would probably have lead to the US ceasing to exist by now.

Congress still puts huge amounts of cash into researching this. Because both potential outcomes: large-scale controlled energy production, and bombs, would have huge consequences in just about any aspect of our lives. Positive and negative.
I port forward via ec2. Had to learn iptables (which apparently are now deprecated) and set up openvpn (these days I’d probably do wiregaurd). Works fine for my personal website, and paying in advance the cost is maybe $3/mo, didn’t realize it was remotely controversial.
Probably. Everytime I installed a new Windows I tried using the latest Paint software, but it always felt more complicated for simple operations, whether it was more clicks needed, missing keyboard shortcuts, or one of the few features I use were missing (e.g., resize, resample, crop, upscale/downscale color palette, set color transparency, convert between JPEG/PNG/BMP, lasso, automatic lasso, clone brush, I guess that's all).

The only alternatives I read about is Gimp and Photoshop. I didn't like Gimp's usability at all and Photoshop just seemed too privacy invading.

They serve different purposes. DoH protects DNS information while in flight. DNSSEC cryptographicly signs DNS records so they can be validated as being created by the owner of the domain. With only DoH you can be assured of privacy in flight and that the response hasn't been changed in flight; however, you don't know that the records on the server you connected to have not been manipulated.
Mullvad has known exit IP addresses. Mullvad doesn't have shit for logging so they cannot link clients to traffic.

> No social life is really really bad for your long term health outcomes.

Fyi, this pop-psych wisdom was never meant to be universal. For hardcore introverts, little to no social life can be the healthy optimum (assuming you're functioning in society and not counting your coworkers as part of your social life, etc).

They just don't say that because it doesn't apply to most people. Hardcore introverts are relatively rare, and it risks misinterpretation by normal people to not fix their social lives wondering if they're one of those.
> So you want to hurt the people you dislike, and (presumably) help the people you like.

Yes I dislike those who profit from CSAM and revenge porn, "it's just an app" doesn't change the horror of their actions. It's kind of a lowbar when it comes to principles, don't you think? Do you care about the people they hurt in their very flesh? The people who killed themselves as the result of sex exploitation?

> We think it's better for society and humanity if people think above the dislike=hurt/like=help dichotomy.

Both revenge born and CSAM are illegal, there is no dichotomy here.
Where what matters? On-path DNS attacks occur everywhere across the Internet, and are probably more common on the lookup side and at the edges. Certainly, the use of DoH to protect authority transactions isn't common, yet!

> If you have a heart attack, both an AED and CPR are inappropriate

This is a phrase that's easy to interpret in a dangerously wrong way. Here's a clarification:

If you have a heart attack and are still alive and talking, both an AED and CPR are inappropriate.*

If you have a heart attack and die, then both an AED and CPR are very appropriate and might bring you back.

* And even in this case the emergency response medics will put AED electrodes on your chest so it will be ready to use in case you crash.
Fortunately, I was spared from witnessing any swamping in this DNSSEC, and all credit goes to onenz for instigating positive transformation.

Can you think of quanta in a field as like knots in a string?
A cashless society is such a profoundly bad idea. I can’t believe we’re even discussing this.
A friend who worked in credit finance many years ago warned me they were “thinking” (wink wink) about doing things like selling your food purchase history to medical insurance companies for the purposes of declining claims on the basis of long-term bad eating habits. I believe it was and still is illegal, but if corporations are allowed to do this, then they will, and it’s worth it to them.

I wouldn’t conflate political shenanigans and things that make the news with systemic forces. Made up things don’t always, or even often, pass muster in court. But true information being lawfully used against you will result in no legal recourse.
I think a perspective check is in order. I assume you’re making somewhere north (maybe far north depending on level) of 400k a year which is about what the average person in the USA makes in a decade. Take a moment to appreciate how exceptionally fortunate you are.

As I see it your most rational options are the following. A) Learn the corporate politics necessary to get the work you want in the extremely privileged position you’re in. B) Phone it in, do the bare minimum, don’t stress at all, and collect until when or if you get pipped and let go. C) Combine the two. The highest review I ever got working for FAANG was for the year where I did the least work. Don’t misinterpret that as total slacking off btw, I still did good work, but I dodged every oncall shift I could and otherwise kept my work week in the under 40 hour range.
So I don't care if this can harvest energy, but I care very much if it will reduce humidity without running a compressor.

Because during the summer where I live, humidity spikes and I pay about 1400W in two dehumidifiers to keep it down.
My bad. I completely misread your comment. I am sorry for that.

Let me be the first to argue for it. Electronic money is horrible. It obscures how much you're really spending on things. It requires a middle man in every transaction skimming a bit off the top. One company runs all the debit payments here. Mastercard and Visa used to split the credit card market but I assume they colluded to monopolize on on MC here. The government has passed laws demanding business partake in the racket but nothing to require acceptance of cash. Cash not accepted for public transport. Laws stating a maximum value of a transaction that is permitted in cash but have never increased the limit while they've been inflating the value away.
The motivating use case for "cryptographically signing DNS records so they can be validated as being created by the owner of the domain" was the protection of those records in flight, which is something DoH does.

A reminder that DNSSEC's "cryptographic security" coalesces to the single AD=true bit in the DNS header by the time DNS responses hit your browser; DNSSEC is a server-to-server protocol. So in almost all cases, save those in which nerds have run full recursers on their desktops, the server trust situation with DNSSEC is largely the same as that of DoH.
It's just a plug... in the ground.. well, in a curb... Why is this innovative?!
