In practice this affects DUI felons who want to work with liquor and either:

1) will not or cannot spend $200 on an expungement, or

2) did something disgusting enough during the course of committing their felony that a judge cannot be persuaded to expunge their conviction record. (I just assume there's some judicial discretion with this in Kansas.)

As the grandparent post noted, there's no reason to assume the felony rules are relevant in this case.

Pretty much every dating app makes its money off (thirsty) men. Average women get hundreds of matches a day; ten a week is a very good rate for the average man.

America doesn't need more urban sprawl and the stigma against renting is ridiculous.

> Rent payments go down a black hole. Mortgage payments at least result in an actual asset, and eventually end.

Generally making rent payments and investing the money you would have spent on the house in the stock market will get you further ahead in terms of ownership stake than just making payments on a mortgage. The only reason this is not true is due to massive, massive government subsidies of owners at the expense of renters (ie. Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac acting as lenders of last resort for nonsense mortgages that no private bank would have ever granted without this support).

> This leads to enormous amounts of wasted time and energy, both on the part of people asking for help, and on the part of those providing help.

This is not really true though.

The time spent to answer is not wasted. There are people searching for it via Google, e.g. how to get the last N characters from a variable, and they will find the correct answer.

The time spent by the asker is never wasted. I sometimes know that this is not directly the thing I want to solve, or how I stumbled upon this question. Still, it's a question I have because I'm curious and I just want to know. So, in any case, the person asking for help will learn something.

And all other people on the Internet who stumble upon the question are likely searching for exactly the answer to this exact question, so they get some good value out of it. Or even if not, it likely will have references to what they are interested in. Those other people are ignored here.
I believe our current state of DUI laws were pressured into passing my special interest groups such as M.A.D.D. Laws in many states are so strict that you can get a DUI if you decide to "sleep it off," in your car without driving anywhere, as long as you have the keys near you. I believe this would seem to incentivize drunk driving.
Thank you very much for your feedback!

I agree with you that we should be more incisive on our messaging instead of being too promotional like a mass-market ad.

But rest assured, we were able to deliver real value to our users for the past 2 months since we have launched. The voice as a conversation medium has allowed people to connect with complete strangers at an authentic level not possible with texts, not to mention photos and videos.

To answer the basic questions:

- what is this? : Bubblic is a social audio app where you connect with others exclusively with your voice.

- why should I care? : The authentic human connection is getting harder to come by as the communication channels people are inundated with are low-dimension (texts) or highly focused on vanity (photos and videos) which ultimately leads to surface-level connections. We believe this is the cause for rising loneliness and mental struggles among people, especially youths, in US and around the world, and the digital and social environment is such that it is very easy to fall into the abyss of loneliness. Many don't know how to get out of it and eventually go out into the world to find friends. We want Bubblic to be the bridge that can help people get out of, or prevent getting into, the abyss of loneliness by helping them connect with others using their voice. Voice, being the most primal method of communication, has the power to help feel connected and understand others that other media do not come close to, in our opinion.

That was long winded, but we will try to get those messages clearly on our landing page.

Thank you very much, again!

> that doesnt make sense, there would always be a new generation entering the dating age. Otherwise the marriage industry would be optimizing for divorces too.

Don't they? I mean, maybe not intentionally, but it certainly evolved to be that way.

The more they can get you to pay for a once-off party, the less money you have entering your marriage. The less money the man pays, the more encouragement is bride is given to be bitter. This results in entering a marriage with less financial stability than you'd otherwise have.

They sell the message constantly that it's okay to forgo things like home ownership as long as you get the "perfect" (i.e. most expensive) marriage.

There's ever more useless things added to the ritual, resulting in an ever more stressful time due to more friction and more bitterness afterwards. They have spoken rules about how much you should spend based on a multiple (not a fraction) of what your income is.

They don't care, and often even encourage, allowing the future in-laws to make a loan so that the couple can get the best marriage. That certainly looks like optimising for divorce to me.

They sell it as a once in a lifetime experience, but they already know from their own experience that it's 50/50, if that.

To me it looks like they are optimising for revenue, which indirectly means optimising for divorces.

Well my point in general is that often, when bringing up contentious topics (and everything is contentious nowadays) you can't let people browbeat or shame you into shutting your mouth. That's what I mean by not playing the game. Don't let them trot out the quacks or otherwise get you to shut up about it and take their side.

I agree completely, and I have been constantly speaking about how AI will be a wealth concentrator, replacing a mass of jobs more diverse than previously seen. Unlike previous machines which can take 1-2 jobs, when humans get REALLY efficient at training AI, it will replacing hundreds en masse.

AI will also have an additional effect: it will be isolating in the sense that the need for other humans will decrease.

These two points alone, strengthened by many others, have led me to conclude that the world is MUCH better off with AI and that tech companies are ruining the world with their abominations.

> it can be more profitable to keep some empty in order to reduce supply and price up the others.

You mean if you own a massive complex, which is the vast minority of housing - and also not what was mostly accused of being bought up by individuals or firms for speculation.

If you're talking smaller units, landlords are effectively price takers and it is pretty much never profitable to keep empty and price up everything else unless you are anticipating immediate increase in prices.

None of this is a major driver of housing prices either way.
I have a toddler who has zero minutes total screen time. The challenge is indeed daunting considering how easily it is to pass off the parenting responsibilities to technology.

I have started to limit my own time along by sending an update every week to my circle about my usage. I then try and drive that down with time limits.

The tech companies including China would love for you to use their products 99.9% of your waking life while limiting their children from the same products they create.
A quick Google search suggests that there are 760 000 living University of Indians alumni, 640 000 living University of Michigan alumni, around 500 000 living University of Wisconsin alumni, 450 000 living University of Florida alumni, 350 000 living University of Georgia alumni, and 170 000 living Georgia Tech alumni. I think that is all the schools people have mentioned so far.

It does seem reasonable that most of those would have some states, besides the home state of the university, with enough of their alumni that a custom plate would be worthwhile.

My school (Caltech) only has 24 000 living alumni so probably no custom plates for us in any state, even California. MIT has around 150 000, so maybe there is hope that at one nerd school gets a license plate somewhere. :-)

I wonder what the smallest group of people is that gets a special plate in every US state?

There are around 780 000 ham radio licensees in the US and every state offers ham radio plates, but I'm not sure that counts as a special plate because in many states a ham plate only differs from an ordinary plate in that the license number is your ham radio callsign.

For example here in Washington normal plates are of the form ABC1234. A ham callsign in the US is N letters, a single digit, and M letters, which is called an NxM callsign. The possible NxMs are 1x2, 2x1, 2x2, 1x3, and 2x3.

Someone looking at a ham plate would only know it is a ham plate if they recognized it was an NxM that matches one of the aforementioned NxMs. Anyone else would probably just think the state ran out of ABC1234 numbers and started a new format.
The question of whether renting or buying is more financially beneficial is highly complex, and certainly it is not always the case that buying is better. Additionally, there are non-financial reasons why some people prefer to rent. So IMO we shouldn't be designing housing policy around everyone becoming an owner.
Not a major driver of home prices at all. Plus, corporate landlords are some of the only ones that are even making it possible to rent at all in large swathes of America.

I view this as basically left-wing science denialism. The right has climate, the left denies the overwhelming consensus of economists as to the cause of housing affordability crises (it's supply and bad policy, not blackstone). [0]. Institutional investors own less than 3% of rental homes, which is a minority of overall homes and disproportionately buy homes that were not fit for sale anyways (so-called fixer uppers).

I bought a condo in 2021 (at a fantastic interest rate), and am currently regretting it deeply because my life circumstances changed and I probably need to move to a different state, meaning I need to either sell the place at a considerable loss or become an out-of-state landlord, which I don't want to do and is unlikely to turn a profit for me.

The flexibility of renting is a real and important phenomenon: people's lives change unexpectedly sometimes.
I didn't say I'm not preparing things. I'm saying an able account isn't a slam dunk.

An able account, if mismanaged, can disqualify my kid from Medicare. That means costly and time consuming legal intervention to correct while my kid misses out on medical care they need.

The third option is waiting on the able account (not the SNT). There's little harm in waiting.

I'm too old to have used dating apps, but IIUC the conspiracy theory is not just that you have to pay a premium to message the attractive girls, but they're actually paid by the dating app itself to interact with you. (I'm too old for dating apps, but I'm not too old for certain types of "clubs" whose business model was the same).

There's also the fact a lot of people got a really good interest rate on their homes and will not get anything like that if they decide to sell (i got under 3%, not a chance I'm entering the market again at 7%) so the actual amount of not-new homes available in the market is very low.
From my experiments it seems that SD XL understands prompts much better. While SD 1.5 is great at generating your typical "anime girl with big boobs" stuff - if you try to generate something a little bit more unusual - it usually doesn't generate exactly what you want and seems to straight up ignore large parts of the prompt.

SD XL seems to understand weird and unusual prompts a lot better.

SD XL is capable of generating 1024x1024 images without hacks like "hires fix". That's a very good thing, because hires fix sometimes introduces additional glitches while upscaling. Especially at higher denoising strength.
Hires fix fixed the broken face - yay, but the subject now has 3 legs instead of two. Things like that happen far less often with SD XL.
Seems kind of apocryphal. You mean to tell me a smart professional engineer working at one of the biggest and most prestigious (at the time) companies of the world is going to quit that job, uproot his life, and move to an entirely different state, just from a single "Trust me, Bro, it's awesome" endorsement from a potential employer? I'd have wanted to at least fly down there, look at a few apartments, visit the office, and so on, before making that kind of commitment. It makes a cool story, but there must have been more to it.
I cannot sign the CLA since per its own terms, I would have to get written permission from my employer.

It's not a problem today. Check online, there are cheap small ToF lidars. Like the one I bought with 60 degree, 100x100, 15 f/sec. 8 of them will give you all around horizontal view, up and down. 3m range should be enough. Your main problems will be lack of GPS and short flight time.
That's common practice with mid sized companies and above, though:

- find something that can probably give some competitive advantage or please shareholders
- Identify it as "not part of our core business"
- Pay a third party company to do it even if it would be cheaper to things in house. If something goes wrong and the shareholders ask questions, the CEO can blame them instead of their own IT department and reassure them they're "focusing on what generates most value for the company".

I support this, but it would require so many more city and county level law changes to implement. Many counties have zoning laws in place that require homes to be a certain square footage (my county is 1,500sqft), that also have to be built on-site, and must have 2 off-street parking spots, and must be 50 feet from the edges of the property line, etc. While making townhome-style housing impossible due to those same zoning regulations. While providing tax incentives to luxury apartment complexes.

These zoning restrictions would need to be rewritten first, and incentives given to developers to create high-volume, inexpensive housing. With restrictions preventing them from selling to built-to-rent companies.

But zoning restrictions are incredibly difficult to rewrite. A woman from a county in GA is having to sue the county to try to adjust their zoning restrictions and the counties constitution states that zoning can only be used to protect the health of the citizens. And their restrictions banning off-site built homes or small homes does nothing to protect health since they're built to the same standards as larger site-built homes.
More radical: legalize a path to ownership for renters. You rented with no issues for 5 years straight? Great that’s 20% down on your new mortgage, it’s yours.

Uh, but that's exactly how they work. What file manager are you using them that doesn't recognize them? Also you can just chmod+x them and execute them.

As for their size, my XPS13 has a 250GB SSD too, not easily upgradable, but AppImages just aren't a significant burden to me.

There are four equally likely combinations (under the [both false!] assumptions of equal and independent sexes for children in the same family): MM, FM, MF, and FF; if you know that there is at least one male (or at least one female) you eliminate one of those possibilities, leaving the relative probabilities of the other three still equal.

So, knowing no additional information, the chance of one male and one female is two-fourths, or one-half.

Knowing that there is at least one male (eliminating FF), or at least one female (eliminating MM), the probability of one male and one female is 2/3.

If you know the sex and birth order of one, you eliminate two possibilities, retaining the relative probabilities of the remaining ones as equal, so if you know the first is male, eliminating FM and FF, then the probability of one male and one female is 1/2 (and similarly, mutatis mutandis, with other sex and birth order combinations, which produce the same result eliminating different pairs of possibilities.)
