No new housing is the crux of issue, but the issue has compounded over the decades. It should have happened 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. If there had been enough supply back then, the misuse now would not matter.

For past decades we should have been tearing down single family houses near core and replacing them with better density. And building new denser suburbs with good connectivity to core while also offering necessary services for regular living.
This is almost laughable.

A massive chunk of big tech exists to put others out of business, and by extension, out of jobs.

Simplest case: how many companies used to employ a team to administer their MS email solution? Outlook was once very dominant. I know my university did. Then places started jumping to Gmail because it saved money and was more reliable. You didn’t have to just trust your small onsite team.

Those jobs were cut. Yes, they found other employment usually, but that’s because of the relentless growth of tech.

A strong union would have done what? Prevented the switch to gmail?
Hexa is advertised as a multi-functional all-terrain robot. No drone capacities.

My educated guess is that the company Vincross sold their tech to the Chinese Military back in 2017 and China is being China.

It is a very nifty robot, the company still exists but feels as an empty shell.
I don’t shit in the street on my way there.
Interesting discussion on how they tested with a .276, considering they are tooling up to move the US military from a 5.56mm to a .277/6.8mm round in the new xm7 rifles.

Woodstock is an incredible city to raise a family. And it’s literally on the 401 and 403. Highly recommend you investigate a bit and consider it.

If you aren’t raising a family you’ll find Woodstock to be devoid of stuff to do for adults unless you hate people.
The report is explicit about it, I'm not sure why you are having difficulty with that. The report mentions, for example, when their accounts are hacked. That's just one example. Are you confused or are you just being obtuse? Someone else provided this exact answer to your identical question, upthread, prior to your asking me the same exact thing here again.
I think whats important to note is that increase in value is on paper. Market is already dropping a fair bit and is in a situation where prices could descend another step down in the short term as everyone has to refi their 5 yr mortgage and make some financial adjustments
I would be wary about comparing software to hardware in this way. Open source software is generally only successful in cases when it's a cost center not the actual end product.

I don't see how than can work when developing competitive CPU cores is extremely expensive. Why would anyone who does that make them free? (even licensing seems like a poor idea looking at ARMs business model).

So the lackey gets 5 years in prison, the players are let off the hook and the mafia directing and financing the operation isn’t even investigated. Is organized crime a joke in Europe? Apparently millions of dollars were being laundered through this scheme. How much illegal activity went into generating the capital?

Most smaller teams do not need a full fledge kubernetes anyways.

There's no one size fits all approach. There are trade offs. The Kubernetes tractor needs lots of oiling and what not for all the bells and whistles.

Trade offs is the keyword here.

it makes me laugh to hear claims about Java GC superiority. Please go back in time and fix all the crashes and OOMs caused by enterprise JVM,

I don’t see how running into an OOM problem is necessarily a problem with the GC. That said, Java is a memory intensive language, it’s a trade off that Java is pretty up front about.

I don’t have a horse in this race but I would be quite surprised if Go’s GC implementation could even hold a candle to the ones found in C# and Java. They have spent literally decades of research and development, and god knows how much money (likely north of $1b), optimizing and refining their GC implementations. Go just simply lacks any of the sort of maturity and investment those languages have.
The only way to really capture that wealth is to downgrade or to go to an area that has underperformed, neither of which are typically appealing options, nor are they generally aligned with our notions of “increased personal wealth”.

There are people doing that. I know of multiple people who have sold their $1m++ houses in the city and moved out to retire on farms. Their property taxes and total cost of living went way down and all of that real estate wealth turned into cash.

I think PHP did make the pie bigger, but there won't be shortage of companies who used PHP to only take a bigger slice.
Oh wow, it's xscale again.

> A well targeted attack that doesn’t trip any training red flags (links, attachments, etc.) for the victim

As I understand it, the victim still has to click on a link in an email for the attack to work. The attack makes the email look like it comes from a legitimate source (like the victim's own company), but it still requires the victim to take an action, it's not completely passive.
One of the best parts of HN is the information density. The design on that site is the exact opposite.
Isn’t the main problem the cost of heating? In the UK at least a kWh of electricity cost 4 times what a kWh of gas costs. Even if a heat pump is twice as efficient as gas heating, the cost of heating is still twice as high.
I'm not the person you're responding to, but I built POS on Square. Or more accurately, Square is the merchant processor that's integrated into a very large piece of operations software I wrote/manage for a regional retail chain. The simplest explanation is that the company was already using Square when the software was commissioned, and didn't see an advantage in changing processors. They already had terminals everywhere provided by Square. The software gives customers the ability to put their cards on file (stored by Square, when they make purchases through the online store) and gives the retail outlets the ability to charge those cards on file. Meaning most of the transactions are done through the Square API now, not the terminals. The terminals serve as a backup so they can take payment in person if our servers go down.

In any case, I built all the software to talk to an in-house, isolated Payments API that I wrote, so that every part of our code that processes payments sends requests to our API, which handles all the back-and-forth with Square and distills the results. If it were necessary, I'd just change that API to talk to some other processor. But that wouldn't be a one-day job. As it is, it would take days or weeks to even arrange a banking relationship between the company and a different processor. I've argued for a backup to be built to a second processor, but the company hasn't wanted to deal with the cost or the hassle. They would also then need to have two separate terminals at each checkout register, and we would need to store customer cards on file with two separate processors.

Even so, perhaps this week's events will change their mind.

But I'm curious what you think would be a "more robust" option, for API access + physical terminal, since aren't all merchant processors prone to the same potential issues?
I find HNs design much simpler and easier to use, and fits more content on a screen.

That design was slicker for sure, but was more confusing and had less information on the page.

I guess we all value different things.
> for the 60% of European properties that are old and leaky, their installation must come with extra insulation.

Shouldn’t this be fixed no matter the heat source?
In the case of California climate specifically though, you have to ask yourself how much you're willing and able to pay to live in the only Mediterranean climate in the US versus e.g. somewhere that gets snow in the winter. (Lots of California can get pretty hot too.)
they dont want you to stop speeding, just enough to keep generating revenue.
UK and Germany has a hang up that they need to reuse the existing radiators, so you sometimes need to do extra work

But it’s quite stupid: In both countries you need AC, so why not install a mini split heat pump+AC system like the Nordics and the US?

It also doesn’t help that they don’t tax fossil gas like electricity, hence you often need subsidies to make it worthwhile to switch
Seems like the article is addressing two orthogonal issues — home insulation and heat pumps. They are suggesting that heat pumps depend on improved home insulation. Why?

Is the idea that heat pumps don’t pack enough punch to replace boilers on their own, and they need to be combined with a more efficient building envelope in order to be sufficient?
Same. I asked to make a minor revision to my contract at a 400 person company (related to a noncompete clause that was probably unenforceable anyway - I didn't even ask it be removed, just asked that the industry it applied to be specified). "Legal" said this is our standard contract, we're not just going to change it for you.

No I mean the west in the traditional usage of that word, countries in Europe just as well. I am sorry, but at the moment I don't feel like writing something comprehensive up about the situation in Europe, or my country Sweden.

But it should suffice to say that policy on a multinational platforms such as Youtube, Facebook and Twitter also effects our political discourse in our countries as well as the US. Censorship policy on Facebook and Youtube, arguably effects the entire world.

This is the way, deep study of old and new artists you admire, and looking through lenses
Just guessing but maybe heat pumps have a lower max power rating, so that you'd need better insulation to reach a desired temperature during colder days.
To prove the point?
I just checked and in EU big cities like Munich, tech salaries are also around 1.0x-1.2x GPD per capita, making EU just as bad as Toronto. Man, the US is really in a league of its own for tech wages.
No, this is purely wealth, it's not a "sort of" it's the actual real wealth just like a bag of diamonds in a safe.

Indeed, homes are some of the most liquid form of wealth, easily leveraged with loans to buy even more property. And home values are one thing that governments are most likely to protect through drastic policy changes. Sure, you can take out a loan backed by your diamonds, but it won't be on terms as good as that of your home.

Home wealth really is one of the strongest forms of wealth there is, and people trying to pretend it is not have no concept of how lucky they are, or even what wealth really means.

People without this wealth are forced to pay their rent to others, who accept both the rent and then the real estate gains.
Nope, you said you shat yourself in the streets of SF and I told you to seek medical attention, and you could not handle it. That’s it.
The process involves me creating a raw 768 byte "ch8" file for the Spectrum then running it through a bash script that creates the .psf and .bdf using psf2tools.

https://gist.github.com/damieng/b2e279c72146ee469731acbadbea...

It then opens up the font in FontLab using a template and some custom Python 2 scripts to convert that into the TTF.

https://github.com/damieng/font-creation-tools/tree/master/F...

The next bash script uses a bunch of third-party tools and my own PixelWorld open-source .NET tool to generate all the other formats and disk images and then packages them up into a zip and uploads it to S3.

In Switzerland you can record crowds and in public but as soon as your footage focuses on a specific person you are violating their rights and require consent which can be revoked any time in the future.

If you watch news footage you will see street footage but as soon as a person is too close or start being the focus they will blur it out.

However there are exceptions, for example a large public gathering that is broadcast on television you can not expect privacy. For example the street parade.

I ended up in a CD album art booklet without my knowledge or consent but it was at the street parade at which you can't expect privacy if you are attending.
Sam Bankman-Fried's jail conditions offer a glimpse at systemic failure
I don’t get the point? They point out two issues: picking an installer and adding insulation to the home. How are these hard or disruptive?

We switched to a heat pump last year and couldn’t be happier. It was quite expensive but Federal subsidies are now available with the Inflation Reduction Act in effect.

The real issue here is that the HVAC industry is quite conservative and still commonly recommends against heat pumps. This is the real political difficulty to overcome and the IRA’s buckets of money will do it. Europe needs the same.
Indeed. Corporations whose shareholders expect them to extract profits from all countries have to accept that they cannot be politically neutral. They must put profit ahead of principle.

This is pretty funny, because people that tend to be obsessed with IQ (the bell curve crowd) tend to be antivax ("free thinkers") and also kinda obsessed with Sweden's COVID policies.

What do you mean? Aren't consumers usually on the trailing end of these sorts of things?

In the US at least, and especially the West Coast, things like SEER (HVAC efficiency) and CAFE standards (car fuel economy) have been steadily rising, at least until Republican officials push back. Building codes include better and better rules for renewable energy production, insulation, etc. In the private sector things like LEED encourage buildings to utilize better materials, passive heating and cooling, water management, etc. Those are all constraints on the manufacturers and companies. Where consumers are encouraged to change to newer appliances, grants usually help cover the costs of new fridges, LED lights, HVAC equipment, sprinklers, etc.

Heat pumps as a consumer phenomenon didn't even catch on until very recently, decades after regulations spurred market innovation.

Maybe it works differently in Germany, but here at least it seems like we go way out of our way to incentivize consumer behavior over decades instead of forcing through overnight changes.

Could it be a marketing issue, where governments and manufacturers making these iterative changes don't really broadcast them to the public at large, such that when the changes finally hit the average homeowner, they are still caught by surprise? To them it might seem like a sudden change even though it's been happening behind the scenes for years?

There is the phrase "fighting the last war" which describes people who can't let go of old lessons learned when facing something new.

In this case, remember that there was a time when people thought bacterial infections, like cholera, or parasitic infections, like malaria, were spread through bad smells in the air.

Unfortunately there are scientists who overgeneralize the lesson that bacteria and parasites are not transmitted through the air into a dogmatic belief that nothing can spread through the air, even viruses, and those sorts of people were in charge at the WHO and CDC.

> Early in the pandemic, the World Health Organization stated that SARS-CoV-2 was not transmitted through the air. That mistake and the prolonged process of correcting it sowed confusion and raises questions about what will happen in the next pandemic.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00925-7

It took domain experts two years to force those in charge to accept the truth that infected people do emit Covid into the air when they are just breathing normally, that the Covid they emit floats in the air for hours, and that people who inhale the virus do get infected.

Which is why it's unwise to censor everyone who doesn't toe the party line. Not just illegal, unwise.
“Consumers contribute just a small percentage of the problem” is only true if you believe 100% is a small percentage.

This is the attitude that shows that “fixing” climate change is doomed. Everybody can find somebody else who’s “worse” to blame the problem on and so they justify doing nothing themselves.
more like "everyone gets a prize" mentality.

Or maybe dumber people wanted to get vaccinated as fast as smarter people but the process to get an appointment was just ridiculous so they gave up or procrastinated?

I was in Canada at the time. The process to get the vaccine wasn't complicated but it was convoluted and it took a couple days for it to finally give me an appointment so I almost gave up. At no point did I question the need for a vaccine. I guess that makes me dumb?

Depends on where you think the value will accrue - Maybe cloud providers who are some of x86’s biggest customers today but would switch if workloads work there? But their bottom line is exposed to so many different things it’s not a clean bet.

For the processors designers themselves, I wouldn’t bet outside value accrues to them since the instruction set is open and competition could be fierce.

Another option would be to figure out who you think will be manufacturing the other peripherals needed to use RISC processors. Something like Supermicro on the server side (which benefitted hugely from a similar relationship making nvidia cards into servers), or find some supplier on whatever market you think will pop because of RISC-V (automotive, military systems, etc). Basically whoever turns these processors into finished systems is probably a good bet, but I haven’t done enough research to know who that would be.
