If they take over you're home while your there it is called a home invasion and in some states there is a castle doctrine. Police or not, you have the right to defend your property as many states consider this kind of invasion to meet the bar for "grave bodily harm" to the owner with or without an actual threat.

The way this works in particular is by taking advantage of squatters rights. These are ostensibly used to protect people from summary eviction and give them a chance to get their lives together before they're kicked out. Usually they're used to help people who can't pay have 30-60-90 days (law depending) to figure something out.

What these people do is break into a home that appears unoccupied. This could be because you're an investor and are screening tenants, you left for vacation, etc. After some number of days (depending on law) the squatter has "rights" to live there and it goes from criminal to civil. Since you did nothing in those days it's assumed you allowed it. It's exploitation by a class of slightly smarter criminal. Exploitation none the less. Yet, there's nothing you can do about it that wouldn't inadvertently effect the people who actually need the laws to make sure they don't come home one afternoon with their stuff on the sidewalk. That's why as a homeowner it is absolutely important you police your own property, make sure it appears occupied, maybe have friends occasionally visit, etc. Even if you have camera evidence it will be assumed you did nothing about it in that timeframe and it will still become civil. Your house will likely be trashed as revenge and suing a bunch of strung out junkies won't get you anywhere.

These laws have also been exploited when good hearted people lend a couch to someone in need. Stay for long enough, and now you have to go to court to evict them.

Really a shitty situation for people. Especially grandma and grandpa renting out a house to supplement their social security.
QAT does support SR-IOV on platforms with IOMMU support, so you can at least delegate access to QAT across multiple VMs. I don’t think any public cloud providers offer this, though.
I wouldn't go as far as to say they are 'corrupted', just that they are extracting their payment in a non-monetary form.

i.e. There are no 'unpaid mods', at least for any significant period of time.

It's just that typically in real life we try to avoid setting up relationships were the only compensation is payment in social status, petty office maneuvers, etc..., since it's very visibly obvious in person. So we don't think about the different dynamics online.

But this is the compensation model for a huge fraction of online communities.
It depends if you want to educate kids well or not. Our current model says it's not that important to educate kids - that's why, despite tripling spending in inflation adjusted terms on per student spending since the 1970's test scores on national assessment tests have been flat. That's flat as in no improvement the last fifty years despite 3x the spending - infinitesimal gain pre-covid that was wiped out by COVID.

In our current model people care about getting more money and benefits to district administrators, union officials, and companies that provide education services, but people obviously don't care about educating students well.

I think that yes, like you describe, offering substantial amounts of money would produce substantial motivation. Better, it would produce motivation exactly where needed. The poorly family in generational poverty knows they can get 20k a year if their kid studies well. The poor family pressures their kids into studying a lot and doing well in school. Yes, that's hard on the kids but the consequences are that they're well educated and their families get needed support.

By contrast, the idea that we shouldn't pay students because their families might pressure them into doing well is a false kindness. You would make school a little easier but doom the children to generational poverty all so the bureaucracy consuming our exorbitant education budget can continue to be rich.
I agree with you when we’re talking about alfalfa, but what you’re suggesting would probably destroy entire regions that wouldn’t be able to compete for water on economic terms.

It’s exactly what happened in the Owen’s valley last century.
The thing about unions is that everyone always says "they don't have to be that way; look at the Screen Actors' Guild" and then instead of that, you get something that flattens all pay and protects the incompetent.

It looks a bit like it doesn't have to be that way, it just is.
Is it really sad though? On the surface it seems the society heavily incentivizes smart people to work on "less impactful" things. But if every smart person becomes a condensed-matter researcher then obviously we have a problem. So what's the right amount of people that should work on condensed matter physics? Who should decide on such amount? Currently the market decides. But maybe there's a better way?

Get the Monument device, attach as much external usb storage as you want and watch it do pretty much the same thing Apple Photos does but locally on the device. iOS and android apps.

The problem with the bluetooth switch (or "bluetooth headphone switch" in most peoples' mind) is that if it switched off BT completely people would be surprised when their watch stopped talking to their phone, or they couldn't airdrop to their neighbor etc.

Perhaps I should have written "problem" with quotes. The control center does what most people think they want. It used to be that when you enabled airplane mode on your watch it set it for your phone too, but you had to get out out of airplane mode on each device. Makes sense to me, but apparently not to everyone, so I was amazed when disabling airplane mode on your watch did the same on the phone. At least it highlights the absurdity of airplane mode.

Apart from my own belief that "no means no" when it refers to radios in my devices, I'm also disappointed in the other data that are shared. The phone number, for example, AFAICT is used for joining secured wifi: if you join a network, everybody around you who's connected to that network is asked if they would like to share the password with you (you don't even see it). A handy feature, but not one implemented in a privacy-protecting way (shame on you, Apple!)

Fundamentally if you buy something you should own it entirely. This precludes that.
There's somewhat a recent Planet Money episode (Green energy gridlock[1]) that talks a little bit about this. There are massive hurdles in the US to getting new energy projects actually connected to the grid because of supposed fears of overloading the infrastructure. The result is energy prices stay high and the number of green energy projects stays low.

fwiw I don’t think the HGSU has really flattened pay (yet) and their most important contribution was getting independent arbitration for students that were being harassed by professors (rather than a committee of other professors), which seems valuable.

Coming from a poor background, you're likely to get a degree with something with a sure career path and one that will make money, assuming you're bright enough to pursue a PhD.
> Don't store or handle credit cards - use a vendor like Stripe.

Alternatively, if your customers will make one-off or infrequent payments, you might want to consider accepting cheques, which can be made electronically through a system like BACS (note that every country has different systems available). Cheques (checks) are a 'customer pushes' method as opposed to cards, which are a 'seller pulls' method. Accepting international payments makes transfers somewhat more difficult, and cheques always assume a higher level of competence on the part of the customer than cards do; however, neither are likely to be a problem for B2B products.

> Ensure all dev tools enforce 2FA where possible (GitHub, AWS, etc.).

Two things that are critical to remember are that 1: most forms of 2FA don't improve security and 2: many services will refuse to restore accounts based on trust or some other form of evidence if 2FA was enabled, where they would otherwise.

Challenge-based forms of 2FA such as TOTP or FIDO are better than SMS, as latter can be intercepted in transit. Calculating the response to a challenge on a separate physical device to the one being authenticated is additional benefit that FIDO2 usually has. Side-note: if you need to authenticate customers, allow them to choose at least TOTP; try not to even provide SMS 2FA.

As for the lack of account recovery, this can be a benefit, but only if you have robust procedures to make sure employees' credentials (like TOTP codes) are copied to sites accessible by other employees; this effectively means things like buying fireproof safes if you are doing it properly. Revocation of credentials by other employees is just as important as recovery. All this is to say that 2FA is not something that you can just toggle a switch for to make your company secure; it is worthy of a company-wide strategy.

I'm not sure where your submission title came from, but it's not the title on the linked article itself, and in fact seems to bear no relation to the subject matter, "Subdomain Enumeration Tool Face-off - 2023 Edition". That's strongly frowned on. Though perhaps you'd meant to submit a different article or had mixed up titles and/or URLs with another?
Or you could just design your architecture to not perform trillions of database requests for hundreds of millions of sales.

The listing data is almost static and should almost fit in RAM (the hot set probably does. Apparently Amazon has ~350M listings. A 24TB RAM server could give ~68kB/listing, and probably only a small fraction is hot). Since you'll need multiple servers anyway, you could shard on products and definitely fit things in RAM. 375 million sales even if condensed into 1 hour would only be 104k/second. A single db server should be able to handle the cart/checkout. Assuming ~10M page views/second, a couple racks of servers should be able to handle it.

The ad/tracking infrastructure surely can't account for the 1000x disparity in resource usage.

Natural gas transport and storage is lossy (which is a serious problem), but it’s mostly a solved problem at very large scale.

(The lossy part may be a genuine climate issue if the cheap solar methane economy takes off.)
It probably depends what the limits of physics actually are. If interstellar war is actually practical given the laws of nature, you might be worried about such things. Otherwise, doesn't matter.
Thanks you. Nice to see a condensed history of Mathematics in it.

First non-fiction book that I read cover to cover was a little book in college library called "the history of numbers" (If I remember it correctly). Somehow I really love when a chapter starts with historical overview of the subject. The seemingly "obvious" ideas have taken so many centuries to become "obvious" to everyone. I find it both scary -- how slow the truth propagates -- and humbling as well.
More commonly attributed to Eugene O'Neill: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Success+is+a+stale+finale.... A playwright would be more likely to use the word "finale", and in any case the thought is too modern for Spinoza. But most probably it was neither of them—quotes like this are nearly always misattributed.

The law benefits squatters in otherwise empty homes because evicting them means making them homeless.

As much as it sucks to lose access to your property the other side is losing access to a home which is way worse.

Yeah. There’s a lot of wishful thinking about science and sciencing up solutions to the world’s problems — especially here. The fact is, most progress is slow, and even if there is progress, it’s not necessarily economical in either financial or energy perspective.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the plan is to use this hydrogen in combination with CO2 captured from the air to make methane.

If so, the hard part is getting the carbon capture cheap enough, not the hydrogen.

I crunched the numbers and you need around 13.6 kilograms of carbon and 4.54 kilograms of hydrogen to make enough natural gas to give you 1GJ of heat when combusted (this is how natural gas is priced in the metric world - 1 GJ is roughly 0.95 MMBTU).

If you're extracting CO2 from the air, roughly 27% of the CO2 is carbon, the rest is oxygen.

Doing the maths suggests that at current ballpark prices for CO2 direct air capture of $1000/tonne, the cost of capturing enough CO2 to make a GJ of natural gas is about $50. That's before you've done the processing to convert your CO2 and hydrogen into natural gas and oxygen.

So let's assume an order of magnitude improvement in air capture costs. Even at $100 per tonne, the CO2 capture cost is around $5. When you combine that with the approximately $4.50 worth of hydrogen required, that gives an input cost of around $9.50. That's way more than domestic natural gas currently costs in the US, but it's in the ballpark that you could subsidise your way around that at scale, and the numbers look pretty reasonable compared to imported LNG in Europe and Asia.

So to me this suggests that, if your business plan is to make methane, the hydrogen part is almost a sideshow to getting direct air capture costs down.
Yes, I'm pretty confident most of the budget is wasted. In the past 50 years inflation adjusted spending per student is up 3x and assessment tests are flat. Other countries educate students better at a lower cost. It's fundamentally not that hard or expensive to educate children - you need a teacher, classroom, simple supplies, and a tiny bit of administration - not much else.

As for people screeching about unfair grading - yes. People screech about that now. We should make standardized tests and base the payments largely off that. Let parents get mad at schools and teachers that fail to prepare their children, that would be good.

I think it's not possible to get rid of hallucinations given the structure of LLMs. Getting rid of hallucinations requires knowing how to differentiate fact from fiction. An analogy from programming languages that people might understand is type systems. Well-typed programs are facts and ill-typed programs are fictions (relative to the given typing of the program). To eliminate hallucinations from LLMs would require something similar, i.e. a type system or grammar for what should be considered a fact. Another analogy is Prolog and logical resolution to determine consequences from a given database of facts. LLMs do not use logical resolution and they don't have a database of facts to determine whether whatever is generated is actually factual (or logically follows from some set if facts) or not, LLMs are essentially Markov chains and I am certain it is impossible to have Markov chains without hallucinations.

So whoever is working on this problem, good luck because you have you have a lot of work to do to get Markov chains to only output facts and not just correlations of the training data.

I certainly sympathize with landlords, because they put up with a lot of drama and legal trouble and really intricate interpersonal troubles. But let's not forget that the laws are also stacked against tenants. There are supposedly rights, but the first power a landlord has against the tenant is not knowing those rights. Likewise, the landlord is able to do everything by the book, right up to the brink of legality, like clockwork on a rigid schedule. You will receive your 48-hour notice 5 minutes after the office closes on a Friday.

Eviction processes can be really arduous for both sides, but they can also be swift and painful for the tenant.

I have found that there are basically no attorneys who take on tenants' rights issues, particularly for low-income/affordable housing situation, because there is no money. There are plenty of them who take landlords' rights very seriously! If you are a landlord, odds are that you've got an in-house attorney or a good one on retainer who can advise you every step of the way.

I speak for my jurisdiction only, and I don't pretend to know or espouse a global perspective on this stuff. It's different everywhere.
Jeez. Text squeezing in the manner of loss is a scary idea.
The advice for people with special needs seems to be that the family should move to the biggest city they can. The reason is that those schools will have the best access to the relevant educators and the budget for the district will be enormous.
