No, it is a fact. The same happens in the US.

Real estate is, at worst, used for sanction evasion and money laundering, and at best, as a loophole for citizens of restrictive countries to extract more of their money from those countries.

All of these create an incentive to overbid on real estate.

Where I live, this is a known issue. In fact, the top real estate companies specifically try to attract foreign investors, and have stated so publicly.

Look at the chart in the article. Home prices plummeted in 2022, when the Canadian government enacted a 1% Underused Housing Tax (UHT) on Canadian residential property that is considered vacant or underused.

This is similar to what teachers face in whole developed world. This is the case even in countries with traditionally strong education systems in Europe. How bad the situation really are depends on management, unions etc – ie how much support teachers can get against bullying from parents.
"Sweating Bullets", "Almost Perfect" (http://www.wordplace.com/ap/), "The Autodesk File" (https://www.fourmilab.ch/autofile/e5/) and "Show Stopper!" were a few books that I think pair very well, and as a developer who wasn't around in the time really gave interesting and comparable insights into the development of a few really important companies and pieces of software.
All you have to do is learn to lift the seat to pee and not hover over the toilet while having the worst poop of your life. Those two points would go a long way as far as cleanliness goes.
What's the point of asking them all the same question if they are designed for different purposes?
That’s frankly media driven fear mongering (likely self re-enforcing, or as the media notes ‘Mass shooting contagion’), not a legitimate threat (though we seem to be t trying to make it one!) which is the point of the discussion.

It’s literally not even in the top 10 for how people die at work. You’re far more likely to die in the drive to work, 100x more likely. Or from Covid. Or frankly, most anything else.
UBI is a flat income received by everyone, regardless if they need it or not.

Problem is, as things stand in almost all countries, (beside some oil-producing states), governments need to raise the money with taxes and it is a very high burden to get a non-trivial amount. States often can barely collect enough for pensions and to contribute to various forms of insurance (disability, unemployment and most importantly healthcare).

Now, proponents suggest scrapping existing social programs and replacing them with the UBI, but it will cost more and some people will actually much worse off.

Most existing social programs in the developed world are limited eligibility (means tested), so you have to prove your need to take advantage. This keeps costs low, although there are people who believe that i.e. requiring recepients be above a certain age, or to be children requires a huge and expensive administrative apparatus. This of course depends on implementation, but the point is means-tested programs became dominant across the world because they save money.

Now, about the point they don't always help, here is a simple example - will a 2-3 thousand dollars a month of UBI be enough to cover heart surgery? You could say people should buy health insurance, but to keep costs low you need to force people to buy it, and thus return to the typical national health insurance schemes around the world.

A more cynical person might think that many of the people proposing UBI are actually more interested in scrapping existing social safety nets than having a better working alternative.
> How many chances do you think a wealthy man from an upper class family should get?

I have a question. Do you see any difference between the following two sentences?

1. The conditions that SBF is in could be experienced by any person accused of a crime in the US.

And

2. SBF should not be in jail.

I have not said anything that could possibly be construed as #2 but it seems like you are asking me why I said that?

Edit:

I do appreciate the honesty in stating that you believe that this sort of treatment of prisoners is a good thing. If nobody admitted that they felt that way, the mystery of why we treat people that are accused of crime terribly would forever remain a black box.

It is, however, genuinely amusing that people think that he’s getting treated Extra Bad because he’s an Extra Bad Guy.

Buddy, jail, not prison but jail is the place that you could find yourself tonight without a judge or jury. The only requirement for jail is probable cause or an officer having a bad day. You (the person inside the US reading this) could have your diet dictated and medication punitively taken away by the state while you are reading this sentence.
They could but they have a very strong relationship / want to acquire arm so it might not make much sense in today's terms — for Nvidia, Arm/RISC-V is more of a software thing and they've spent a lot of money making their drivers and toolchain work on Arm so similar.

My point WRT shovels is selling fabrication, which Nvidia can't do, to be clear.
Not sure what you expect to happen here…
The major platform companies have different historical attitudes that haven’t changed much.

Microsoft: We told you what not to do, and you did it anyway, so we’ll put code in our OS specifically to keep your app running.

Apple: We didn’t tell you that was OK to do, and you did it, and our latest cool stuff broke your app. Over to you. Also, we didn’t mention this earlier, but no more 32-bit apps next year, sorry.

Android: We try to keep your app running, for a while, but TBH a lot of the platform comes from manufacturers who only care for about 18 months. Let’s all just try to survive.

>What is new is the subscription to things you already own, the “heated seat” debacle for example.

Enabling additional functionality (or limiting it) for hardware you've already purchased isn't unheard of in business products--including computers--where the unit margins support it. But consumer unit margins are usually thinner and most consumers don't really accept it as a "fair" practice.
A local park has the bathrooms in the rec center that has separate hours from the rest of the park. So by 5pm when everyone gets off work to play pickup basketball on the courts the only place to piss is this discrete bush that absolutely reeks as a result.
Ads are annoying, and virtually nothing is valuable enough to bother paying to read a single article for. I subscribe to a number of substacks by writers I know produce reliably good content all the time, but random articles on HN ain't it chief.
The reason I use the term astroturfing is the complaint posts / comments all look & sound very similar with minor variations, like a “shaped charge” that detonates peoples’ emotional centers and taps into primal emotions like hatred and fear of the Other.

Very occasionally I see ‘real sounding’ and human sounding comments from every day people (instead of a professionally sharpened message). Those are now growing very slowly over time, which could just be a success of the propaganda.
I made a quick and dirty desk when I started working from home during COVID. Plywood with some quick finish on some legs I got from Amazon. I didn’t spend too much time on it because I wasn’t sure how long I’d be working from home. Some things I added:

* Integrated cable management: I attached the power strip and the LAN switch under the desk. I’ve got cats that get curious.

* usb hub on the side

* Boom arm for my microphone.

I’m working on building a new desk right now. Some things I want to add:
* Better cable management. I’d love a little cabinet under the desk that all the cables go through and stay hidden.

* Some sort of bag or box on the side so I can sweep my desk clean

* built in wireless charging.

* integrated KVM switch. Preferably a button under the desk I can press to switch between computers.

* built in hardware mute switch/press to talk for my microphone.

* some sort of rail mounting system for monitors, camera boom, and microphone.

* foot hammock
And you think pestering someone like this is a winner?
If you look at the pic closely, there are two triggers.

That's true, but those results are rarely the correct ones, at least for v1 llama models. In my experience each model has an optimal temperature at which it performs vastly better. I'm sure OpenAI have the best config they know set up for ChatGPT but let people generate trash through the API if they want to waste their credits on it.

Hetzner Cloud is officially supported, but that means setting up VPSs in Hetzner's Cloud offering, whereas this project was intended as a more or less independent pure bare-metal cluster. I see they offer Bare Metal support as well, but I haven't dived too deep into it.

I haven't used KubeOne, but I have previously used Syself's https://github.com/syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner which I believe works in a similar fashion. I think the approach is very interesting and plays right into the Kubernetes Operator playbook and its self-healing ambitions.

That being said, the complexity of the approach, probably in trying to span and resolve inconsistencies across such a wide landscape of providers, caused me quite a bit of grief. I eventually abandoned this approach after having some operator somewhere consistently attempt and fail to spin up a secondary control plane VPS against my wishes. After poring over loads of documentation and half a dozen CRDs in an attempt to resolve it, I threw in my hat.

Of course, Kubermatic is not Syself, and this was about a year ago, so it is entirely possible that both projects are absolutely superb solutions to the problem at this point.

Perhaps the subscription model for banal writing or news that doesn't affect you is coming to end and but not the subscription model.

I mean, who needs to subscribe to a newspaper that is crammed with unactionable whitterings or the views of a single author?

Maybe if it was £1pa and the author managed to write something useful each month it might represent value for money, but the thought of paying any more for the opinion of a single person seems absurd.
I think thats because you are looking at the poor performers; the real goal is finding a way to turn your product into a service (and thus ongoing purchases) because doing it well becomes a license to print money. Doing it poorly becomes more like wheedling or strong arming.
I've had a Zojirushi travel bidet for years and years now. Battery operated. The thing is a champ. I keep it in the downstairs bathroom (both upstairs bathrooms have bidets installed) but take it with us if we travel anywhere by car.
I think it can be more simply explained with supply and demand when it comes to labour. Or, if you’re a cook, for example, you’re going to find a more robust market for your skills in Vancouver rather than Castlegar. Because of that, cities can often be more attractive for the working class.

I do have a lot of respect for the people who are able to make a sustainable living in a less dense area, but it’s not a reliable path for everybody.

What sort of finish do you recommend for a desk? I used some sort of polyurethane for my current desk and it’s gotten gummy and gross from my hands and wrists (I’m assuming).
A lot of the UK's housing stock is comprised of victorian buildings from before the advent of electricity. They have high ceilings, large windows, large gardens, traditional red brick walls and beautiful period features like carved exterior stonework.

They are also extremely badly insulated and costly to heat, having solid brick walls, large windows and high ceilings. We've already picked the low-hanging fruit like loft insulation and double glazed windows.

What's left to do is things like exterior cladding. I looked at getting external insulation applied to a victorian terraced house, and was quoted £30,000 - more than the UK's median salary.

The average annual energy bill is £1,923 so even if that insulation was so effective it dropped the energy bill to zero, it'd still be a pretty bad investment.

So now your excuse is that the CDC is not being truthful or when evidence from reliable sources doesn’t agree with your worldview you dispute the evidence? How are you any better than the anti-cancers who do the same.

I haven’t in this entire thread cited any evidence that didn’t come from either the CDC or the DHHS.

> OK, I was open-minded and willing to examine evidence that you provided, but you instead provided zero evidence and responded in a hostile manner. It's clear that you're not arguing in good faith. We're done here.

Really? You mean the evidence you are ignoring from the CDC? Why do you think the government recommended booster shots six months later before there were any changes in the formulation.

I’m presenting quotes from the CDC. Not sone website I found while sitting on the toilet.

> comptime doesn't allow you to create domain specific macros

Sure it does!

Zig's string format function is written using comptime. It parses the format string and validates the arguments at compile time. See https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/std/fmt.zig

I also toyed around with turning a math equation dsl into compiled statements at https://github.com/Laremere/alg I got matrix math working so, eg, if you multiply a 2by1 matrix by a 1by2 matrix, it returns a matrix which is typed to 2x2.

Yes, it is a crime. First, the money being paid out to the fixer doesn’t appear out of thin air. There is a counterparty to the transaction that is literally being stolen from when the fixer fixes a match. But more importantly, this is likely being done to launder money. Dirty money goes to the players and clean money comes to the fixers in the form of gambling winnings.
I've asked some friends at Amazon this and never quite got a satisfactory answer.

It feels really disrespectful to waste my time, when I've bothered reading the preparatory material, because X number of other attendees haven't. And, presumably, for Amazon to do this for every single meeting, it must have been commonplace for folks to not manage their time effectively to get prepared for the meetings they attend? Quite a bizarre approach.
Note that in a lot of cases, getting rid of plastics really means 'burning plastics' which is definitely not warming-friendly.

To be fair, a properly fitted N95 mask is infinitely protective against an airborne virus compared to standing six feet apart, washing your hands, wiping down surfaces or wearing one of those paper masks held on by two rubber bands with open sides.

However, it is my understanding that the UK's NHS did step up their game and require their equivalent of an N99 mask for frontline medical workers.

In Western Australia (I think), cats are already restricted to the house plus exterior deck/veranda/patio, which must be caged to prevent them from going further. This is referred to as a ‘catio’. I suspect that, given the bugs, putting an insect screen around your patio has other benefits too.
I agree that memory management can't be solved locally. The situation in C++, where every library or API you use has a different cleanup convention, that you need to carefully read about in the documentation to even properly review a pull request, is proof of that.

I disagree that this criticism applies to Rust. For 99% of the cases, the idiomatic combination of borrow checking, Box and Arc gets back to a unified, global, compiler-enforced convention. I agree that there's a non-trivial initial skill hurdle, one that I also struggled with, but you only have to climb that once. I don't see that there's a limit to program complexity with these mechanisms.

60% of Canadians are home owners, the majority of those being baby boomers. Their retirement relies on downsizing and living off their remaining capital. The demand for buying their overly priced detached homes will exist so long as we immigrate the qualified uber-wealthy. It is a ponzi-scheme, and I have observed that anti-immigration retorts were met with racism up until recent years where the remaining 40% of Canadians renters learned they will never be able to buy

On that note, does there exist a company I could buy cameras to install at home, that 1) doesn't force me to go through some cloud, and 2) sells products to European market? I was excited about buying some Amcrest cameras, only to then discover it fails point 2) - I can't just get them without complex and expensive sourcing process, and should I do it anyway, jumping over the voltage difference between US and EU grids.

(I mean, I probably could make Amcrest stuff work if I tried hard enough, but I am at the age where spare time is precious, so I was looking for something that I could order and install without hassle or tinkering with mains electricity.)
Storing in vinegar would catalyze and accelerate the decomposition of the acetate. And once it starts, it can’t be stopped.

To prevent decomposition, use breathable enclosures and store in a low temperature and low relative humidity. Proper storage and handling practices, particularly using gloves and storing in low light environments, can prevent vinegar syndrome almost entirely.

These are learnings gleaned from those involved in the historical preservation of acetate photographic films.

I am sorry, even if English is not my mother tongue, this article certainly does not give a "no" to interactions between planets and sun.

Actually the sentence just before the one you cite says:

"The moon, sun, and other planets have an influence on the earth in the form of perturbations (small changes) to the gravitational field. "

And anyway if you search for other scientific articles on this topic, you can find at least a handful of them.

Then you can criticize the quality of this research (single author, unknown univ, etc) but it exists.
