The Applebee's location is also leased by Dardens (or McDonalds) from the mall...the difference is that they are leasing the plot of land and not a building, so they get to build the restaurant to their own specifications. (For franchised locations, Dardens/McDonalds then leases the completed restaurant to a franchisee. Sources differ on the %, but McDonalds only owns about 40-60% of the land, and about 66-75% of the buildings, for its restaurant locations.)

Successful restaurants usually get higher rents because the value of the location increases with the success of a restaurant. This generally means higher costs for the property owner. This is also why most successful restaurants have long term leases, meaning 10 years or more, and major chains like McDonalds can have even longer leases; it's not unusual for an Applebee's location to have a 30 or 50-year lease.

Thanks for the explanation and the term "severability". I understand its point now and it makes sense to have it conceptually. I also didn't know about this part:
> so long as it's not fundamentally a change to the contract's terms

However, taken down one notch from theoretical to more practical:

> It seems like you're arguing for some sort of punitive response to authoring a bad contract?

Not quite so bluntly, but yes. There's obviously a gray area here. So not for mistakes, subtle technicalities. But if one party is being intentionally or absurdly overreaching then yes, I believe there should be some proportional punishment.
Particularly if the writing party's intent is to scare out of inaction more than a core belief that their wording is true.

The way I think of it is maybe in similar terms as disbarring or something like that. So not something that would be a day-to-day concern for honest people doing honest work, but some potential negative consequences if "you're taking it too far" (of course this last bit is completely handwavy).

Maybe such a mechanism exists that I'm not aware of.

Or 400 seconds with a allmodconf build, idk what they build in the OP.

If they build allmodconf and I understood the benchmarks correctly, then one C910 core is about 4 times slower in building the Linux kernel than a single Ryzen 5 5600x core (60/(1491/6*4/60)). That would be pretty good wouldn't it?

That sounds right. I also appreciate how much you regularly add to discussion about the CFAA. I personally think it's a horrible law, but for the most part my understanding of it matches yours. Too many people mix up what "should be" vs. "what is".

In general, I've learned that if you ever wonder whether you might be breaking the CFAA, you are in violation of the CFAA. The only time this logic has ever failed that I've seen was HiQ vs. LinkedIn.

Can you provide the units in which this "measurement" is made? What about other measures of government? How does California perform on those scales?

Should it be the overriding goal of government to appeal (or appease) those citizens who are already on the margin of leaving anyway? Or should it strive to better serve those who stay?
> Since the beginning of the year, Seattle, Baltimore, Cleveland, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and Columbus have all sued Kia and Hyundai, which are owned by the same parent company, for selling cars without engine immobilizers, a technology that has served as a major contributor to the plummeting rate of stolen vehicles in the U.S. As the rest of the industry adopted immobilizers, Kia and Hyundai didn’t, with only 26 percent of their cars including them in 2015, compared to 96 percent for other manufacturers.

Kia and Hyundai are not doing their due diligence and being both incredibly lazy and incredibly cheap here. They should be strong-armed into catching up with the rest of the industry.
the latter would be the case, with all due respects given.

You just made a "scam" claim about issue which has been resolved long ago. So, this is the case, and I am wondering what is your motivation.
But isn't there more value in a reward leading you to run marathons than a reward leading you to waste your time (literally a net negative mental health wise) scrolling on a social site?

I genuinely believe that setting goals for yourself and achieving them is intrinsically more valuable than... not doing that, i.e. scrolling.
You clearly need both? You'd never task a humanoid robot to wash clothes by hand. But you would task it to remember to check whether its time to do laundry, load the laundry, run it, move it to the dryer, fold the clean clothes and put it away.

It's not the case that existing robots (dishwasher, washing machine, etc) do 90% of the work when you consider the full task in its entirety. Humanoid robots would just replace the work that humans are doing assuming they have access to the specialized robots.
I've used C++ from its inception (when it was cfront C++ -> C translator) to modern C++, not to mention many other languages over the years. Totally agree with the author that C++ manages to accumulate many bad decisions over time, leaving a legacy of overly complex or under-powered features.

I suspect a certain laziness in not tackling some of the harder problems in the compiler, for example: type inference, improving the grammar to disambiguate new keywords from variables (for example co_yield). Many features could have been improved with more effort and willingness to tackle hard problems.

Perhaps if Sean Baxter's Circle (C++ language extensions) gains traction, there will be hope to modernize C++ syntax and features.

Really nice video on roaming around Tokyo in a single full day (around 20 hours) covering 19 stations and 199 km travel in several train modes (on the ground, elevated, underground and tram).

It seems that the OP missed the most relevant train station and area to tourists and HN crowds, namely Akihabara.

One tip for traveling in train for tourists is to use your existing Japan Railways card or JR pass to travel around Tokyo not only for inter-city travels [1]. However, this limits your travels to only routes serviced by Japan Railways or JR company but you can choose to mix the routes (free JR pass and non free) for your preferred cost and convenient.

All the train routes with expected time of arrival (ETA) can be planned via Google Map App that suddenly become Google Map on steroid due to its access to the real-time data of railway network provided by Japanese govt. Amazingly, you can plan your journey accordingly in real-time even if there is an unexpected train delay. I wish more countries provide this real-time transport data available to the public (residents and tourists) so they can travel as efficiently as possible around the country and cities.

Okay, and if you don't get wrapped up in thinking the message is true, what difference does it make? You could get yourself in trouble if you are concerned about the truth, and then pick the 'wrong truth', indeed. But why would you do that?

> And this has seemingly gotten worse over the past year, at least in my eyes.

They say the Twitter algorithm feeds you what you want to see. This may be a "you" problem. I've never seen anything about crypto on Twitter. Mostly weather-related content and sometimes farmers posting pictures from the field. That's about it.
> Would you bet against volatility in the AI/GPU market over the next 12 months?

The problem with betting on volatility (via options at least) is that it's already priced into the market, which means you pay a large premium for that bet, which in turn means that things need to make big moves for it to pay out. So it's not enough to be confident that there will be some movement in either direction—it has to be a relatively large movement for it to be profitable.

So to answer your question, maybe. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that Nvidia stock won't drastically change over the next 12 months.

> I’m sure they won’t even talk to anyone not willing to pay $100k+ per year.

Wouldn't surprise me. We had a vendor whose product we had used at relatively reasonable rates for multiple years suddenly have a pricing model change. It would have seen our cost go from $10k/yr to $100k/yr. As a small nonprofit we tried to engage them in any sort of negotiation but the response was essentially a curt "too bad." Luckily a different vendor with a similar product was more than happy to take our $10k.
In the US, parents are sometimes arrested for letting their children go bike (or walk, or play at playgrounds) without direct supervision.

Not to mention that parents are constantly fed scare stories about “random creeps” snatching kids up — a profoundly rare occurrence, surely several orders of magnitude less of a risk than that taken on by driving your child to/from school.
Yes, but I don't see a better solution. If we make "security research" legal, then any hacker can just say "oh I was just going to disclose my findings to them".
This situation is a perfect storm of:

* Even post-covid it appears they are getting less customers coming in and buying stuff.

* Due to deteriorating economic conditions more young people are willing to loot the store(s) than in the past. Almost like it's some form of revenge against the current system.

* California, by vote, has softened their position on looting and shoplifting.

We can pretend to be sad about it, but we have all collectively "voted" in many ways to end many forms of retail shopping. You can blame it on local SF politics, but really SF is just 5-10 years ahead of other metro areas. Often what happens in California's largest cities spreads to the rest of the country over time. This means both good and bad trends.

I am not going to apply morality or a political slant to it, but we should evaluate what we want our cities to be like. If city living means high prices, high rate of property crimes and hollowed out empty commercial real estate, who would want to live there?

Yeah definitely. It’s just to say that the security researchers, these classmates, didn’t get lucky. Like if I were a Stanford student, and I heard about this shitty website, you know, if I were generalizing, I wouldn’t be wrong to guess it was run by obnoxious people and that the technology was a big lie.

And this website, this forum, it has a maligned love affair with the anti establishment characters, and it can’t really figure out this one because it’s dropouts v. hackers on the face of it. Most of the comments are litigating the law, by non lawyers and even when by lawyers, by people who absolutely could not predict the future of a legal decision. Why not just trust your gut? What I want to hear - what I want to be the #1 comment forever and for all time, which is just my opinion - is like, this research never needed to happen to know that Fizz or whatever is absolute trash. Do you see what I am saying?

There are a lot of 18-22 year olds pursuing entrepreneurship out of college aged vengeances. Y Combinator funds many such founders! And here we see the double edged sword: if you’re at Stanford touting yourself an entrepreneurial genius with your app about antagonizing your classmates, you had better actually bring the bacon to your supposed technology. Because you have more than your founding team’s worth of classmates who hate your guts, but can actually program.
Better: shows like "The Boys" at least provide a gruesome window into "realistic" superhero behavior in a corporate hellscape.
My point is that it doesn't matter how slippery the underlying words are, because you're not meant to piece together the meaning of the statement from those words --- or rather, you are, but deceptively, by attributing them to the policy preferences of the people who coined the term.

Logomachy aside: "ethical hacking" was a term invented by huge companies in the 1990s to co-opt security research, which was at the time largely driven by small independent firms. You didn't want to engage just anybody, the logic went, because lots of those people were secretly criminals. No, you wanted an "ethical hacker" (later: a certified ethical hacker), who you could trust not to commit crimes while working for you.
The story has greatly reduced value without knowing who the individuals behind Fizz really are. So that we can avoid doing business with them. It would be different if Fizz was a product of a megacorporation.

“Keep calm” and “be responsible” and “speak to a lawyer” are things I class as common sense. The gold nugget I was looking for was the red flashing shipwreck bouy/marker over the names.

> Detaching any science (or other knowledge-gathering-activity) from reality may well turn it into teology :/

The problem I have with that argument is how historically unsupported it is. Some of the most abstract branches of mathematics, completely devoid of any real world connection, have become insanely useful later on.

Nobody thought that number theory had any value before cryptography showed that it did.

And it was Hilbert's push to put mathematics on an abstract and axiomatic foundation that led the way to discovering what "computation" is (and what its limits are) and therefore to the birth of computer science.

> I suspect that many parents these days would not be comfortable with their child biking anywhere for an hour if they're under 14 or so.

Yes, and this is also the result of negative aspects of media (in general, not just social). It's safer for kids to do this now than it has ever been (in the US, anyway), and yet so many parents think it's insanely dangerous. You even see parents scolding (and sometimes calling the cops on) other parents for letting their kids play outside.

It's insane.
