You actually end up spending less money, actually.

When basic physiological needs are covered (e.g., food, water, housing, clothing, healthcare)[1], turns out both petty and violent crime decreases. This means physical and psychological safety increases. As safety increases, ability to develop interpersonal relationships increases, self-esteem increases, and as a whole society thrives. People, less focused on survival only, are able to function in the world with stability.

This is the same with supporting preventative medicine. When you advocate and support infrastructure for handling medical care in proactive ways (e.g., preventative care), turns out people's health concerns are mitigated much earlier. In many cases health issues don't manifest into cost-heavy medical solutions, requirement for pharmaceuticals decreases, and happiness, well-being, and morality rate increases.

So yea. Universal Basic Income and Universal Healthcare are now considered crucial to human survival.

I don't know why this comment was dead. Pine64 is legit and the Star64 looks like a viable option.

Anyone with experience on the Star64? I've had some rough times in the past with Pine64 products, from boards dying to the pinebook pro suddenly unable to boot from sd card. Better documentation would have helped. I didn't have hours to comb through forums and discords/matrices.

Still have a major warm place in my heart for Pine64 though, and overall have felt like they're a good value.
A simple analog computer would be a slide rule (or disk). The advantage is that it doesn't need batteries, but usually has very low precision (about 1.5-2ish decimal digits).

While I agree with housing first and you, I think at the same time your quote is mischaracterizing the opposite point of view, which I've seen from close. The more appropriate quote would be:

"Why am I paying rent for myself and rent for the drug addict on the corner (through taxes) while I cannot afford to pay for my son's college/medicine/whatever?"

Living in a country with virtually no drug use (besides heavily abuse of alcohol ofc) it feels that while drugs are not the main problem for many, they are for some, and definitely make other problems worse.
You are right about the quality of life in Austria. It is not a paradise; most Austrian cities have better and worse parts, but generally, Austrians are well off. At the same time, life in Austria is quite expensive too. It's not easy to move to Austria as a self-supporting wealthy individual; getting a working permit is also not easy. Austrian demographics currently are balancing on the edge of self-sustainability thanks to migrants, but the average age is growing fast. In 20 years, about 55% of the population will be 60+. Who will pay for their healthcare and social security? Who will care for and treat them? AI-powered robots? I don't think so.

So Austria will be forced to open floodgates to gastarbaiters from all over the world. And with the aforementioned cost of life, they will have their portion of slums with junkies and crap-smeared sidewalks.
Let me make it easier for you:

“This is not going to happen no matter how much you think it will.”

That theory doesn't really track - I don't think anyone has actually presented UAPs as a threat that the Space Force needs funding to deal with. If for no other reason than these things are always seen within the atmosphere, and not in space.

The government doesn't need to "justify" the existence of a Space Force to the public, since the public doesn't approve or deny appropriations. It certainly doesn't need to manufacture an alien invasion, when more prosaic threat models exist.

I've long suspected with a bit of repackaging, many of the Republican voters could be sold on a pretty socialist platform and, counterintuitively, more of them than on the Democrat side.

Morality, fiscal responsibility, small government, local control, you can paint policies like a city chartering its own bank, community banking, cooperative retail, housing trusts etc with the same brush. You can even package say, free college in terms of competition, industry, and nationalism. Call it something like "America winning" or "Competitive Edge" instead of "free college". Instead of being a student, you're "serving your county". It's an easy parlay. I'm surprised I don't see it more.

I'm guessing the people attempting that gambit don't get the millions needed to run the campaigns.
Didn't SB50 purport to fix this?

In this metaphor the pond is drugs and the jumper is an addict.

We've tried putting a "fence" around drugs, it doesn't work.

Corporate profits down ~5% last quarter. 10 million job openings at the moment. We are at full employment. Lots of pain for capital ahead, not so much for the labor market (structural demographics). Gotta squeeze enterprises more, who have been juicing profits with pricing power (“greedflation”).
If a site is ad-supported, they should be free to apply any policy they want to control potential revenue loss due to adblockers.

Running an adblocker is literally a "free rider" strategy. I've been online since the 90s and have never felt the need to do it. I probably have a high tolerance for unwanted ads, but that's the luck of the draw. What entitles you to run one?
Because many of the rules (minimum wage, age restrictions etc) do not apply to farm businesses.
I mean, it could be still true if you expect that only the economy outlier super rich driving up the costs against those that can barely scrape together enough for a meal.

An interesting observation would be to know the grocery cost growth per area / supermarket chain to see if there's a wider increase in prices between affluent and poor neighbourhoods.
Wage growth is exploding in some areas (ours primarily) and not others, which contributes massively to the Baumol effect.

Land owners aren't really incentivized that much to talk about affordable housing. Housing developers would like to fix the problem by building market-rate housing - as supply goes up, demand begins to be satiated and prices can come down over time. All the while, developers make more money.

But building dense and inexpensive housing is often blocked by leftist-type politicians for being unsuitable for living, and NIMBYs of all sorts of political spectrum block it on wholly different grounds.

More housing = affordable housing. Not subsidized housing, not regulated housing. Just more of it will help America.

This sounds interesting. When it comes to my setup, I don't even answer their connection attempts. I just log the IP and call it a day.

I prefer (and submitted) the summary of this work at https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/hawking-radiation-bl... which also has the advantage of linking to the arxiv preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18521 unlike this terse and not-very-enlightening press release by the authors' institution.
Apologies, I wasn't implicating you. Landowner could've been better expressed as corporate landowners. They're the ones that own the most residential real estate in large cities, which are generally the only places having this problem.

My house was built in the 1950s at around 1200sq ft. It's since expanded to over 2000, mainly from finishing a basement and expanding the top level. I'd be curious to see the data you base that on, because the people I bought it from passed this down generation to generation and had their entire family living in it. The house I grew up in has a similar story.

Another anecdote is that about half of the 1950s homes on my block were bulldozed and replaced with single units that have largely gone vacant. My cities issue is that we have plenty of housing, but even the bottom line single units are too expensive compared to wages because permitting and building costs are through the metaphorical roof.
25 years in IT, 8 of those in security, mostly as a Red Teamer and Red Team manager, mostly internal to very large orgs.

It's identifying owners, both for infrastructure and apps. When you're rampaging through a network and you find the Very Scary Thing that should be handled immediately and all you have is the VIP address of the load balancer in front of it, and the configuration manager has a system owner for the load balancer who left the company two years ago, things start to feel a little dicey.
Houston has a higher single-family detached-home ratio than the Bay Area [1]. It's not that Houston's lack of zoning laws lets more people build the missing middle that is lacking in the Bay Area; it's that the geography of Texas allows growth-by-sprawl in a way that is lacking in the Bay Area, which has to grow by densification.

When I visited Houston, the lack of sane urban planning was immediately evident. It is insanity to have a neighborhood of single-family detached housing literally across the street from 20-story towers adjacent to the transit line--that's exactly what Houston has.

[1] See https://www.census.gov/construction/bps/visualizations/msama..., you have to hover MSAs and do the math yourself for precise ratios, but the difference between Houston and the San Jose MSAs is stark enough to not need to do the calculations.

> This conjures the fear that the agency in question is bad at this. Do you have evidence that they are?

Yes. This was my movivation for questioning the "data says" logic. The NHTSA has made decisions based on data that were poor decisions because they misunderstood the problem domain and became overly reliant on specific metrics. Here is a copy-paste of an earlier comment in this thread:

--

> the NHTSA is a pretty cautious organization, and they like numbers.

They may be cautious but they're not necessarily smart. Their vehicle safety ratings only measure the safety of occupants in that vehicle. Result? An arms race where cars keep getting bigger, heavier, and taller to do better in crash tests against bigger, heavier, and taller cars. These "safer" vehicles are now more deadly to everyone else, especially pedestrians and bicyclists.

McNamara fallacy in action.
The way 'housing first' has been implemented in SF is terrible. It is operated as a lottery helping a very tiny percentage of the homeless with a house/apt worth $1mil+. Those numbers will never solve the problem.

If I saw a reasonable housing first program where it actually provides cost-efficient housing for all that need it, I'd be a strong proponent.

The current system is not that, it's incredibly unfair, a tax-payer funded lottery in which residents provide accolades to homeless advocacy groups in return for inclusion on lists that make them more likely to win a spot in the residences. Huge amounts of tax-payer money is siphoned off into these non-profits throughout the process.

Disable automatic updates in this case (Windows).

When an update is applied between the first and second profile process, any new tab won't do anything in any of the instances. Firefox likely still doesn't detect this state.

Edit: That is, if you use Firefox with two or more profiles, and may start one profile later (after a new update was published).

>US debt ceiling deal strands $16B of defense side-projects

There is currently no debt ceiling and there won't be for roughly 18 months. There is no reason to believe that the debt won't be anything less than $35 trillion by Jan 2025. It might be closer to 40T.

Here is what is in the spending bill:[0]

* Keep non-defense discretionary spending in the 2024 budget roughly steady at 2023 levels

* Reduction in spending for TANF (needy families)

* Greater working requirements in order to receive SNAP (food assistance) benefits

The US overspent in 2022 a total of $1.4 trillion, there is no reason why it won't be more this year and then again more in 2024 especially with continued defense spending increases, including side projects.

>> Established trends have been regularly violated over thousands of years.

> I don’t think that’s true. The archetypal constructs of human cognition have been unchanged. Hence the enduring relevance of myths. It’s always the same stories playing out.

I think you misunderstand. I didn't say everything has changed, just that many "established trends" have been.

I mean, at some point it was a well established trend that all humans hunted and gathered for their substance, then that trend was violated.

At some point, the trend of "we will find something productive to do with all these people who's jobs have been made obsolete" may be violated. And it seems like that's getting more likely the more rarefied the remaining valuable skills become.
> It's very hard to work around human nature and the whole "why am I paying rent like a sucker when the drug addicts on the street are getting free apartments?"

Easy fix: Give them a free apartment, too. Let them see what it's like. If they do better there than paying rent or mortgage, great. But I bet they won't last more than a day or two before turning that key back in. They think a free apartment is some great thing to have, as if their neighbors won't be all the people they didn't want to be around in the first place.
The episode focuses on Utah’s housing first program, not California. They also bring up that it wasn’t a panacea and in practice it took more time than expected before the cost to the public went down.

All of your items are just "i'm doing this wrong" combined with not understanding how keys even work.

Your private keys shouldn't even be accessible to you, they should be on a secure enclave like a yubikey, and you should forward the token along the chains. No risks, and basically painless, especially if you switch to certs so you don't even have to know the public keys ahead of time on the servers, just all trust the same private PKI.

The UAP phenomenon is much more interesting for what it tells us about ourselves than for the incidents themselves.

Our bias is that our technology is very capable, and that it is used by highly-trained and intelligent people who are up to the task of observing and classifying unknown objects.

But the truth is that we are, in fact, not all that. We grew up in a pre-technological agrarian civilization. We have many biases, particularly observational ones. We still see demons where there is nothing but the natural world.

The images we see are mostly not photographic in nature. They are highly processed data that we impose our millions of years of evolutionary conditioning upon.

We have learned to trust our eyes, over the millennia, to keep us safe from threats.

Now, in truth, we're not using our eyes, but we still think we are.

AMDs GPU tech is close enough to Nvidia.

AMDs latest card the 7600 did not need to be garbage - this is a low end card so Nvidia can easily make it faster. But it very closely matches Nvidias card at the same level, the 7060, which is also garbage. AMD is simply copying Nvidia.

And you’re wrong…. People buy cheaper. It’s not the only factor but it’s a major factor.
