BlackRock owns a tiny, _tiny_ minority of single-family homes, even with a generous intepretation of "own". Plus, taking homes out of the owner-occupier market and into the rental market ought to drive rents down and make it easier for households to save up for a housing deposit.

Sad day
Crypto scam stories have become boring. How about one about something — anything — crypto-related that’s not bullshit? Now that would be a “man bites dog” story!
It's kinda amazing the level of organization and dedication kids put into these things. I joined probably around 2011-2013, and hung around probably until 2017, and the spectrum of things going on was wild.

They have (or had) accessories which players could purchase, and some hats/gear/character accessories had "limited" runs, which means they only sold so many or for so long (either X hats total, or as many as could be bought until a deadline). So there was a whole meta game of speculative investing, writing bots to capitalize on market inefficiencies (players could make trade offers of money+other acessories, as well offer them up on the marketplace for hard cash prices), etc. Similarly there was a market exchange rate for tickets to/from robux.

Groups would organize to do all sorts of things, like produce magazines (with in game self updating magazine kiosks), war groups to fight each other (with dedicated bases they could staff and enemies could raid), airlines where always big, Sci fi groups, clothing designers/"brands", etc.

In the early days, both the platform and average computer were limited, so there was a big hacker scene to bend and abuse the platform to your will. Privilege escalation (not on the host, but some roblox api calls/objects were protected), platform specific "malware" which infected models/levels and hid in various ways, dumping the source code of protected modules, a bunch of GUI hacks (because Roblox actively refused to implement basic things for a loooong time), doing special rituals because of how certain operations behaved, etc.

There was something for everyone, and a ton of fun for budding programmers. I never made a real game, but I had a ton of fun learning to make random stuff.
That's what OpenInfra does. They lay the fiber infrastructure and a bunch of ISPs are available to buy service from. They're still trenching around here. Our ONT is installed by the fiber won't be lit until New Years.

Oh I know. I guess my disappointment is more rooted in a lack of at-home storage solutions. It would be entirely possible to sell a device like an Apple TV with extra storage that gets backed up to some equivalent of Amazon Glacier cheaply. But the appetite isn’t there on the side of the big tech companies.

Not that I’m surprised by that, why would they launch a more complicated, less reliable service that makes them less money? I guess in my dream world there’s an open protocol for services to interact with home storage (and market incentive to use it) instead of big tech controlling our interactions. But, alas.
Speaking as someone who was once a 15 year old, why is pornography "unsuitable" and why in the world would you think we couldn't and didn't get hold of it?

Same for alcohol, which amazingly isn't legal in US till 21!!!

So let's be clear. We aren't talking about good policy or maximizing safety and minimizing harm. We're talking about trigger issue to make pro and con demographics vote along party lines on this issue instead of having the freedom to vote on relevant issues which would positively impact society.

Part of me wishes that Apple would license out iOS and macOS; and the chips they run on; for the specific purposes of embedded and industrial development.

A MacBook, as good as it is for Office work, simply is not suitable on the construction site. If macOS was, say, licensed to Panasonic for their Toughbook line and it was only available to commercial customers, that would be a better arrangement.

Or, another example: iOS is fantastic, but trying to reconfigure an iPad might not be as good as just building a customized PoS system with iOS embedded. As long as these customized devices are for commercial sale only (and thus don't damage Apple's customer reputation)... why not?

Heck, if I'm really dreaming... a stripped-down iOS specifically for IoT devices could be a huge, huge market. Even if Apple only sold chips 5 generations out of date (like the A12), it would be more than enough to provide a smooth, fast, easily updatable, easy to develop for, theoretically low cost platform for smart devices.
The prices aren’t terrible. I wonder how the latency, reliability and durability are?

Potential for arbitrage to use instead of s3? Hah (from my experience it seems unreliable but why?)

source for what specifically?

more family support? compare the support for parents available in the US vs most other countries in the world, in particular the EU and read the comments here.

equality between men and women? again, there is plenty of evidence worldwide that we have not achieved that. not by a long shot.

the only thing that is not self-evident is the relationship between religious conservatism and divorce. that's one i am not sure about myself. but it is at least supported by a few others here.

here is one study supporting that point: https://www.asanet.org/women-more-likely-men-initiate-divorc...

results support the feminist assertion that some women experience heterosexual marriage as oppressive or uncomfortable.

“I think that marriage as an institution has been a little bit slow to catch up with expectations for gender equality,”

EPA mileage ratings, gas, diesel, and electric are all submitted by the manufacturers themselves. Sometimes if the car is similar enough to another car (Toyota Avalon and Camry) they won't even test it and just give it the same number.

Car and Driver have a very thorough breakdown of published range versus their "real world 75mph highway test". https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a44676201/ev-range-epa...

Mercedes' worst car only gets 3% over the published range. Most Porsche's are above their range.

Tesla's best vehicles are only 20% below their rated range. The worst Teslas are 30% below their stickers. Easily the worst in the entire industry. Their average for the BEV industry is 13% below the sticker range. So Tesla is 2-3x worse than average.

For comparison against gas vehicles. Across all of their tests, ICE vehicles tend to perform 4% better than their sticker.
Not really, prices have barely come down in most desirable areas. They may come down eventually, but it's usually a slow process unless there is a financial crisis (in which case the Fed will panic and cut)
Companies might be forced to hire Americans for junior software engineering positions instead of claiming they “can’t find any” qualified applicants.

Yeah, I imagine paying pilots better would help solve the "shortage" problem and ease the mental health burden as well.
After the SVB thing earlier this year I decided to get out of the startup game. Got a great new job though a recruiter on LinkedIn. It went so easy and so quickly I had to double and triple check everyone I was dealing with to make sure I wasn't getting scammed, but apparently they were having a lot of trouble filling the position. This was my first job in the last 10 years that I did not get through my network.

That data is 20 years old. Maybe stats are the same or similar, but the makeup of vehicles on the road has certainly changed since 2002.
Right, to be specific, the worry isn't:

Give feedback -> get sued due to something in the feedback

The worry is:

Give feedback -> ??? -> get sued for discrimination-> feedback is used as evidence that the hiring decision wasn't for a concrete/justifiable reason once its torn apart by a lawyer in front of a jury of 12 random people, only 7 of whom you need to convince.

Oh, I'll help you find what you need anytime, just tell me what to search for and I'll print and send you the results whenever I have some spare time.

passengers view what they can afford, or what they can't afford the least, as the overriding factor when buying a ticket. Passengers who have money don't buy the cheapest flights they can find and care more about leg room, direct flights, and agreeable departure/arrival times.

Why does that person need to be an immigrant at all? If they find a skilled Afghan then employ them...in Afghanistan.
A base level of competency is expected as well. An SMB with a small staff that sells something non-tech still needs POS, payroll, and other systems and the ability to give employees access to those systems. “Outsourcing security” makes sense for businesses with zero IT staff.

For large companies, however, it seems like a liability, but I would hope an IdP would still be more competent, on average, then internal IT staff (obviously there are tech companies that have needed to deal with this for a long time with success). If a large business’s competency is not tech, there is some likelihood they can’t evaluate the robustness of their IT infrastructure.

As I see it, the most strident critics of standardized testing have come right out of the belly of the beast of inequality such as Steven J. Gould. It's not accidental that they combine the support of rich donors with racist tropes (e.g. we're doing this for Black people because they're stupid) and unfortunately too many of the left eat it up.

The dynamic range of wealth and power is that one family can have 100,000 times or more wealth than another family. That dynamic range is compressed by a controlled environment like the SAT test: all the wealth in the world can't raise your score by more than 30% or so. If anything, a poor kid has a chance of showing what they are worth on a test like that whereas some rich kids can't test their way out of a paper bag unless they outright hire a ringer to take the test for them -- giving a badly needed form of downward social mobility.

Putting focus on the SAT helps to further obscure the real methods of "achievement laundering" by which rich kids can turn their family wealth into the illusion of accomplishment and leaves those unexamined... In the name of equity!
The other response is pretty good. I would add that you won't be injecting this food into your bloodstream unless that's how you take all of your meals. Your body also produces enzymes that degrade RNA in the duodenum. And this particular RNA has no homology to the human genome, so it doesn't even matter if it could make it through your digestive system intact. And even then, it would have no way of entering the cells that it encountered, so it wouldn't even have a chance to interact with the gene silencing proteins.

The reason why viruses work is because they have ways of protecting their genomes and also sneaking into cells, this product has nothing at all to do that. Which again, still doesn't matter since it would be harmless even inside your cells.
I think Manjaro is the best distro for my money. It's just Arch with some extra care and a GUI installer and kernel switcher (which is super nice).

I moved to Arch but only out of curiosity ~~and masochism~~. It taught me a lot more about Linux, allowing me to optimize the system to my liking a bit more (like in the partition layout). :p

(It's not difficult to switch kernels on Arch, btw; it's only a tiny bit harder in that you have to memorize/document the workflow instead of being able to use a GUI.)

Both Arch and Manjaro, however, have been way better than Ubuntu, paradoxically. Ubuntu's supposed to be the user friendly distro, but it's more user friendly to use the AUR than hunt for expired PPA links on StackOverflow or suffer frequent DE crashes cuz the DE is old or have to reinstall the system to upgrade to the next version. Meanwhile, the trade-off with rolling, you think, is instability, but it's really MORE stability and faster hardware support! Wild.

Bonus meme: there was a bad kernel a while back. 5.13 or something. It was freezing people's machines at random, and I was one of those people. I was using both Manjaro and Ubuntu at the time. On Manjaro, I was able to quickly work around it by bringing up the kernel switcher, clicking on the previous kernel, and rebooting. On Ubuntu, I thought I was safe since I was using an LTS version that predated the bad kernel. Alright, see, now it makes sense -- at least you have a haven or stability in an LTS point release, where you never hit bad kernels like this like you might on rolling. :) ...But then a system update bumped the LTS kernel version to the bad one! :| With no way to switch like on Manjaro. Frozen Ubuntu. Like, what's even the point?
I ask myself whether this problem is also part of the US mentality: in Germany, one would rather be tempted to treat even white lies as fraud, and thus compare (culturally, though not legally) such liars with criminals.

On the other hand, in my experience such fraudsters are in most cases easy to detect: just ask them some hard questions (where the candidate will either know the answer or not, thus rhetorics or charisma won't help) about the topics that the candidate claims to have expertise in (choose the question in a way that even very capable candidates will only be able to answer a fraction of them - this is fine and intended).

Typically, after 30-45 minutes you are either sure that the candidate tells the truth about his capabilities or is a liar (hardly ever anything inbetween happens).
So, a company that is supposed to protect your most valued secrets and therefore should have paranoid security is using an external support system without any 2FA, and with fully unprotected session tokens/cookies, which in addition appear to have an insane timeout (how else could someone re-use the HAR files?).

Wow.

In general I would regard anyone using a password manager that uses a cloud service and/or phones home to be unreasonable. But even if you believe that this is a good idea, at this point everyone should drop 1Password as they clearly do not have the competence to run such a service.
I see, that makes sense. Perhaps primed by the article talking about interspecies cooperation I didn't imagine they would not only compete for food but steal it.
Proper abstractions work. Look at what happens in the functional-programming world; if you provide an instance of monoid (say) for your datatype, you can use all the functions that work on monoids, but your datatype still retains its full detail and you can use your original datatype wherever you like.

Avoid frameworks, use libraries, and use good abstractions that aren't going to "leak" - which usually means those grounded in mathematical laws.

Really cool setup, thanks for sharing!

After buying in to OpenAPI as the fundamental source of truth (generated via https://www.ts-rest.com contracts in my case), I have radically changed how I think about web development.

At this point, it's frankly absurd to me how many people out there make it so hard for themselves by manually building/typing/validating both client & server-side responsibilities in most typical REST setups. I get it -- I spent >2 decades in that reality, but no more. I will die on this hill.

I am likely understating the impact when I say I'm 2x as productive whenever I touch API related functionality/validation on client or server-side.

MSW, Zod, react-hook-form+ZodResolver and several other tools in the OpenAPI ecosystem are simply incredible for productivity. The project I'm on now is certainly the most fun I've ever built because of these amazing tools.
If you want to only import investment bankers, quants, HFTs, lawyers and business executives then sure. People who fill critical gaps and add the most value to an economy are rarely the ones who are paid the highest salaries for it.

What instead needs to happen is that visa officials need to be trained to understand the meaning of terms like "speciality occupation", "highly specialized knowledge", "extraordinary skill" and "lack of qualified applicants". This would automatically filter out the hundreds of thousands of H-1B applications put in by companies like Cognizant, Infosys, TCS and Wipro every year. I'm willing to bet we wouldn't even need a visa lottery if applications were just required to meet the minimum bar that the law already prescribes.
Heterogeneous computing is as old as computer science itself. There are well-known algorithms for dealing with this.
Ding ding ding. Anyone can bring a case to court where multiple third parties can evaluate the claims. And some people lose their case 60+ times and continue to lie as if the evidence was on their side.
This is effectively best security practices IMHO.
> I was a bit relieved having just done a full export of the 1.8 terabyte library to my Synology a few weeks ago

I've said it once, I'll say it again. I bought a Synology unit in 2017. I've touched it... once, since then. One drive failure, which was quite surprising because it will beep at ya, very loud. Ran down to Best Buy, swapped the drive, good to go.

While I would grade Google's cloud services as lower heartache than running your own (not heartache free, but nothing is); no one would say the same about iCloud, even after all these years, at any above average kind of utilization. Photos is... I mean, fine, its definitely silently lost photos on me, but 3-2-1 and such. People who intentionally use iCloud Drive, though; friends don't let friends use iCloud (without protection).
This is nuts, isn't Samsung aware that tourism is a big thing nowadays?

> If a SaaS is approximately as unreliable and insecure as self-managed software

IF that were true. No way would it be cost effective at my company to try to internally reimplement 1Password's functionality though. I also would not trust it to be more reliable or more secure than 1Password.
Earlier this week I got a warning about supply chain issues delaying deliveries while building a ford transit van in the online build & price feature

An Influence or a Trap?
Wouldn't bother me if they targeted stolen phones. After all sorry but I don't see how you have a phone to resell unless you are an irresponsible consumer and I am pro shutting those people down.

if you buy a phone and use it till it dies, as we should, your phone shouldn't really be "resellable".

And shutting down stolen phones automatically is good for third world countries where owning anything remotely good means you are a target for criminals.
> If they had stuck with the old model, a breach would have no chance of impacting users, but now, we're left scratching our heads and speculating about the true extent of the damage.

Well, since 1P clients are not open sourced, you always have to trust that they implement their white paper correctly, this is regardless before or after the transition.

Now, if you do trust them, then you should believe when they say that "IdP is only used for authenticate downloads of _encrypted_ secrets and the decryption only happens on device with a local credential", in which case a breach of IdP still would have no chance of impacting users.

I have a lot of rants about this transition, but the storage location of encrypted data is never something I worry about. In the past it was my personal iCloud/Dropbox accounts, now it's my 1Passowrd.com account. Am I missing something?
You could have at least used a real person's voice
Agree, with the caveat that I think finding the balance here is really the hard part, and projects that don’t pay down technical debt eventually fail, if only because people decide to replace them because of the debt.
