That's very interesting. Never heard of this!

Who offers these deals? Is it the government or private corporations?
I'm struggling to see how one profits from this (which is normally the only reason companies do anything) so I'm very curious.

This really does sound like a win/win situation if it's like you described it! Here I only hear/read stories about people losing their homes without any other option other than selling.
Until a study says otherwise, I'm going off of my own experiences. I've met people with parents who were loaded, but wouldn't give them any money because they wanted to drive home the idea of working for the money. But also wealthy families who will give their kids money when asked just because they know that's the quickest way to get them to go away. I also have many friends who live at home with their parents and are, essentially, dirt poor, but have a supportive, loving family.

Family dynamics and wealth aren't tied by any connecting factors. Being born into a wealthy family doesn't give you a higher chance of having a good, supportive family. Just as the opposite statement of being born into a poor family means you'll have a bad, unsupportive family.
The fact that your parents could give you that money suggests you were already not at the bottom of the social mobility ladder. It's possible you've moved up the ladder, but it's also possible that your parents did the moving up the ladder (when home ownership was more accessible, jobs paid better), and that you haven't actually moved much from their position, even if you've got a better start in life.

Many millennials currently find themselves in this position, myself included. I'm better educated than my parents (by qualification), and I earn more than them, but they own properties and cars and go on holidays frequently, because they bought houses at the right time and earned more proportionally to their costs earlier in life. I'm still very much in the same socio-economic range as my parents are now, they did the moving earlier in their lives, I'm unlikely to be able to move.
What kind of society are you envisioning that can address antisocial behavior without detaining or investigating anyone?
Paperclips and Crude Oil value, relative to another paperclip or barrel of oil, can be based on well-defined, finite, measurable standards that can be measured indeterminate of their location. That allows pricing to be indexed based on location, time, and quality relative to the standards.

A house's value relative to another house is an almost infinite number of variations of measurable and immeasurable variables. One example-- Traffic noise. Maybe the amount of noise is an issue for you, maybe the time of day of noise is an issue for me, maybe noise in one room vs. another. Moreover, there are very expensive switching costs for me
Those events are perfectly compatible with each other. Also, what you call sexual predation afaik was to large extend engagement in consensual casual sex. Unless there are some stories I do not know about.
I was already going to make a shrimp and egg gumbo (my personal favorite) this evening, but hey, something to read. Why shrimp and egg? Way back when, eggs were free if you had a chicken coop and they stretched meals. If you boil them beforehand and slice them in half to add at the end, the broth marinates the egg. And I have a LOT of eggs from ADHD store ordering.

I've got a few facts and opinions on gumbos for the uninitiated.

If you would like to make a gumbo but you are afraid of roux-making, you have options. While diehard white guys will tell you that you have to make a roux by hand with flour and oil / drippings, you can buy either the jarred version or the powdered version of the stuff and make a perfectly fine gumbo, and anyone who tells you that they can tell the difference is a liar. You will save a half hour to an hour to boot.

The gumbo you get in a New Orleans restaurant is a "show gumbo." You can certainly make gumbos that thick at home, but these tend to be heavier on the roux or okra than what you'd normally find in someone's home. These tend to be smaller than average portions with a much heavier emphasis on the meat and veggies and more rice than normal.

Cajuns tend to not mix meats when making their gumbo (well, except for duck and oyster), while creoles tend to have less rules. Again, it's purely a preference and expectations thing. Do what you like.

File' is both a thickening agent and a flavoring agent. It is perfectly fine to eat a gumbo with roux and toss some file' in for flavor.

The easiest way to differentiate between a creole and cajun gumbo (and most foods for that matter) is the inclusion of tomatoes. Cajuns didn't have access to them early on and they do not feature much in the cuisine. I prefer the cajun style of gumbo and I've detested every creole jambalaya I've ever eaten. The tomatoes add nothing to the dish but sour flavors and wetter rice.

Anyone who tells you to put thyme in a gumbo is trying to be fancy. Gumbo ain't fancy.

The proper rice to serve with a gumbo is long-grained rice from Louisiana. You can use Jasmine in a pinch, but for the best experience, you'll want to avoid basmati, short grained rices, par-boiled, etc, etc.

Many people will make a mustard based southern potato salad and layer their bowl like this:
potato salad on top of rice on top of gumbo. You're not looking to soak the potato salad in the gumbo, you're just allowing the gumbo to touch it and absorb some flavor.

Being spoiled.
What do my HN colleagues think about the assertion by some in the US congress that RISC-V is a clever conspiracy by China to dodge sanctions and get clever American universities to do their research for free?

While I think "information wants to be free" and that stopping CPU collab is like trying to stop encryption in the 90s, I can't help but wonder that RISC-V neuters attempts to lock China out of military AI advancements.

Then again, don't they have x86 factories there? If China has a factory, doesn't the government pretty brazenly learn trade secrets from it?

edit to Nickik, since HN has throttled me for more than an hour. Gotta get around the system somehow, since the goddamned rules are so opaque. I'll move this to a comment when I am in the site's good graces again.

Highlight where I suggested any of that.

I even said that actually attempting to curtail open development, even if desired, is futile.

I was only wondering if there is validity in suspecting that China will explicitly finance/encourage RISC-V development in order to dodge EU/US sanctions of processor technology.

So all your sarcasm was for nothing.
Don't worry, Tesla stock has only gone up ~2,000% in the last four years, what could anyone possibly have wanted with stock options in that enterprise.

Usually that's because the local PDs exercise their union coffers to ensure that candidates are a minimum level of friendly. If not, there are multiple cases where the police have either directly threatened a candidate or simply did a work stoppage in order to craft a narrative.

Oops, sorry! You said "shot" not "stabbed."
Those are really good points, thanks.

I'm sure many wouldn't need to use adblockers in the first place if YT were not bloated. Like they try to shove the "Shorts" thing in your feed. Ads could be displayed around the video (in "Up Next" section) and probably would be even more effective since most people don't maximize videos, so they'd see those ads all the time. It's just that YT has made ads so annoying that people have no option but to use adblockers. On top of that, there are ads inside the videos by the creators (they're part of the video so you can't skip them). Without SponsorBlock, many videos are simply unbearable. Even if I were a paying customer (which I used to be), I'd still use adblockers to block Shorts, video-ads inside videos, and various HTML elements of the page.
During the early days Android APIs were clearly written by C folks with zero experience in Java programming culture.

I've been interested in something like this - a sort of ephemeral perpetual MIDI LLM jam session. These clips seem short, I wonder if there's a longer form audio if you log in.
Clever title, not a lot of meat here. I have this same reaction whenever I try a new tool. How do I do this? Does it require an addon? What are the upgrades? All pretty basic 101 stuff for a new user. When I jump from WordPress to Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, I have all the same questions and frustrations.

American union are bad in a very particular way. While unions in other countries can have issues, Americans can safely assume that they cannot map their experience with unions to other countries.
That's an argument that the correlation is less than 1.0, not that it's 0. (I agree that it's not 1, but I don't agree that it's 0.)
What revenue share split do you think they have right now? What share would you consider reasonable?
E service? I don't think prioritization would switch you to Edge network.
I'm hoping bitwarden will start offering this. After all it's open source and with its own server you can self-host, so once it does we should be able to own it all ourselves. I also have zero interest in this if it means being tied into Google or Apple.

Wordpress core is quite secure, remove write access outside the upload folder. It contains sticky post now and the query block. A light box has varying requirements so there is not one solution but try the builtin gallery block.
And as the article mentions it has a healthy ecosystem.
> What google ended up with that workforce, is a percentage of failed projects (in terms of real world business value and longevity)) that would have brought other software companies to their knees.

It's not clear to me why this would be a result of their engineering hiring practices as opposed to their business strategy and product management culture.

> OTOH, most junk I've seen on YT were made by "content creators" with SEO skills who would jump on the latest trends to capture views and big bucks.

Tell me about it. If I got a cent for every video that's scripted, voiced and edited by AI - I'd be on the front of next issues Forbes magazine ahaha. I've noticed a large spike of such content in 2021 when several "online gurus" pushed this "strategy for making loads of money on YT without showing your face" who actually make money selling courses than making money from their own Youtube channels.
I wouldn't be worried about boring my interviewer and getting rejected because they consciously recognized that they were bored, I'd be worried about there not being a level playing field between projects when the hiring committee is discussing it later. The guy who built the fun video game will probably be remembered more fondly than the guy who built the CLI tool for tracking the weather.
My anecdotal experience is that it is fantastic.

Having a strong union means that you can share their resources such as 100% of your wages being paid during a strike; a legal representative being provided for you by the union (for free).

Whenever you want, you can talk to your local union representative to inform you of your rights. And you may even choose, if you want, to have a union representative, i.e. a labor rights expert, present when you negotiate salary or resolve a conflict with your employer.

Everyone acts a lot nicer to each other when the power dynamic is balanced!
Alternately, is it possible that he runs companies in industries that are subject to heavy regulation, is ideologically opposed to regulation (to the point that his companies consistently shirk regulatory requirements at every opportunity), and owns his own giant propaganda broadcast network?
This cuts both ways: a vendor willing to fix things can if it is just about updating a library, but then a vendor that doesn't give a crap and who will never roll out fixes leaves a user stranded. But if the fix is part of the OS, every user will benefit from it, regardless of his device manufacturer.

I think in practise we have a mix anyway - manufacturers already license BT stacks from a few vendors, and don't develop them themselves.
Okay so if you dont want either of those things, where does the money come from?
It should be noted that the compilers that are able to target SIMD lanes for compiling SPMD (SIMT in the NVIDIA non-standard terminology) programs rely on the ability of applying an execution mask to each operation, to be able to implement conditional expressions or statements.

This masking feature is intrinsic in the Larrabee New Instructions a.k.a. AVX-512 a.k.a. AVX10, which are available in AMD Zen 4, Intel server/workstation CPUs and in a few obsolete laptop/desktop Intel CPUs, and it is also intrinsic in Armv9-A CPUs and in all GPUs.

In the original SSE ISA and in its early extensions, implementing SIMD lane masking was very inefficient.

However, in 2008 the Intel Penryn New Instructions, a.k.a. SSE4.1, introduced a set of BLEND instructions, which perform SIMD lane masking.

On any Intel/AMD CPU that does not support AVX-512/AVX10, but which supports SSE4.1 or AVX/AVX2, the equivalent of an AVX-512 instruction with masking is obtained by pairing an instruction without masking with a BLEND instruction.

Because of this, the ISPC compiler supports all such CPUs with SSE4.1 or newer ISAs.

Nevertheless, in comparison with AVX-512, using BLEND is worse than just doubling the number of instructions, because when masking is implemented inside an instruction it also reduces the power consumption for the inactive lanes and it also ensures that the inactive lanes do not generate exceptions.

Can your 20 year old Mac even decode high definition H.264/5 videos?
It's dangerous to extrapolate too much from the early 1900s because the US not being ground zero for two World Wars, therefore able to serve as an industrial core to help rebuild the destruction, created economic opportunity the likes of which one hopes we never see again.

Lacking that destruction creating a huge market for American business, it's hard to predict what happens if America lets its domestic capitalism go off the rails in terms of service to its people again.
That's not how it works in Sweden. A few years ago a restaurant tried to hire only non unionized workers. When the restaurant union found out, they showed up and prevented customers from entering the restaurant. Don't mess with unions in Sweden. If Tesla don't sign they might find a big trucks on my front of their service location literally blocking the entrance.

That's why I wonder why Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Meta (Facebook videos and IG) have not entered the game...
I have a question: Does it cost something for SpaceX or anyone to get paperwork for new vehicles, existing changes, regular launches, object movements etc. ?

If it had a price tag, well, the companies would surely pay for their services, right? The more job there is to do that means the more FAA would get paid.
Yeah, and that's where the crime angle to this comes into play. Are the businesses really the "source of rowdy behavior", or is it actually the people who frequent those particular establishments? And if the latter, shouldn't that be the city's responsibility to deal with those people to make sure they aren't able to continue to repeatedly act in a disruptive manner requiring a police response? Why are they making the businesses pay for private security?

Though as others have pointed out, bouncers have been a thing forever, so maybe I'm off base here...
I'm legitimately curious if there are studies or any kind of evidence that backs up your claims. Specifically, evidence that shows causation between more vacation days and lower worker productivity leading to companies shutting down their businesses.
Can refugees get security clearance?

Does Northrop Grumman hire refugees and asylees? Does Lockheed Martin?
I'm not sure about this. I think soaking the rich is likely more viable (at least in popular vote terms) than a regressive tax like land value. Middle class people will at certain points in their life have over 100% of their net worth in land (perhaps even 1000% if they can barely afford a 5% down mortgage for a property that is half structure half land). Meanwhile profiles for the ultra-wealthy are typically 13% real estate. Taxing one person on 1000% of their wealth and one person on 13% of their wealth is nothing like a wealth tax.

I think something you're failing to account for in peoples' reactions these figures is that the relationship between their moral transgressions and their work is not spurious.

Feynman was a notable scientist but he was also one of the most famous scientists, he was a great populizer of science especially later in life. Finding out he was a sex pest or womanizer or worse has tangible consequences to that role. Was he a good mentor in general, or only to women he wanted to fuck? Or only ones he didn't? Were there any women pushed out of science because of his inappropriate attention or advances? We now have to ask these questions, and their answers can retroactively change how we evaluate his later life's work as an advocate of science.

Similarly woody allen makes movies that are compelling because of their portrayal of human connection and vulnerability. As you said, what woody allen is accused of is a great crime, far far beyond routine human flaws. It does change the context and the meaning of the movie to know that this is what its creator thinks of human connection as well. You can decide not to believe the allegations, but for people who do believe them I don't think it's an error or transgression for them to evaluate his movies in light of them.

And it is certainly not true that no one criticized these figures before their "faults" were known. Orson Welles famously with woody allen, Picasso was not always revered, and I disliked feynman from reading his own memoirs. It's just these criticisms are not generally welcomed or amplified for figures in the prime of their accolades. Which is an interesting subject itself, I think.
I have started to click "don't recommend this channel" quite a bit on YouTube shorts and I am finding it is recommending me more channels like the one that I just said I would never like to see again...
I think the idea that the enforcers of law (the ones that show up in guns and armor) can compel people to hire them for security work is a very, very conflicted interest. Very mafia-like.
Men are fully capable to love one woman and see others just as sex. Men are fully capable to write romantic letters and mean them in the moment and seek casual sex two hours later.
They could charge $20M for each application round. That'd provide enough staff.

The agency would have a financial motivation to incorrectly reject applications, which is better than having a financial motivation to rubber-stamp them. (Both things are bad, but incorrect reject is slightly better.)
For some reason, a perfectly cromulent comment [1] on this thread was commented upon as being “bot-like” and then flagged to death.

It linked to a scan of the Marion Richardson “Teacher's Book” hosted on the internet archive [2].

The actual booklets are strangely absent from the internet (if indeed these were used into the 1980s). I suppose things that aren't old enough to be exempt from mickey-mouse copyright extension are a grey area?

Are you suggesting that because some companies were mismanaged, people should suddenly allow themselves to be exploited in an effort to make it easier for companies to "not die"?
The world would be a much better place if everyone who took VC money just then gave it to something worthwhile.
We already tax utility users based on “usage”, but the cost to provide service is more like y=mx+b with a very large b and small m. Charging based on usage is just a way to allocate the large fixed costs amongst your users. (Electricity may be the exception with higher variable costs, but still significant fixed costs.)

But even if you’re not using them, the utility services (water, power, sewer) still have to pass by the property. Power lines and poles are there, they have to be maintained, your water main can’t be leaking, etc. There are real costs to do all that.
I've seen it in Chicago as well. The article mentions New Orlands PD. Seems to be a pretty wide spread phenomenon
But it’s a belief about epistemology, not a bunch of specific affirmations about the thousands of deities and mythical creatures that humans have proposed. The agnosticism/atheism dichotomy is pretty silly once you think in terms of epistemology, particularly if you believe in fallibilism or even philosophical skepticism.
For the majority of readers, for whom I presume getting the latest updates fresh from the lips of renowned neo-Nazis was not a high priority, I don't think this represented a significant drop in the blue check's value.

Either you are saying that in fact not having prominent neo-Nazis' content tagged as coming from notable sources was a meaningful problem, or you are making a slippery-slope argument with no clear indication of why we were headed to a problematic part of the slope. In either case it doesn't seem persuasive.
Things I Learned About Money and Happiness from Being Homeless
Yeah, I know. Guess why we din't have it yet. With larger projects, the labor costs decrease per Wp installed, making larger projects cheaper per Wp, and thus the ROI is much better.

One should not save money on cheap panels so. Neither shoupd you import yourself, only buy from brands that have an EU legal presence, import themselves and are in the business for decades (JA, Jinko, Trina and Canadian Solar come to mind). If the brand has some large utility projects runnning (either their own as suppliers, doesn't really matter) even better, that means they have contractual agreents with large, repeat customers, basically assuring support for guarantee cases down the road. Be mindful so, not all are very customer friendly when it comes to claims, so take one with a solid startegy for the roof top / consumer market.

I spent some time at one of those mentioned, years ago.

The ROI for private installation gets better all the time so, Wp prices fall, panel capacity increases, resulting in cheaper and larger installations on the same surface. No idea whwre labour is nowadays, propably through the roof with availability in 2030s or so.
