No. Probate records that you inherited it are enough to get property transferred to your name and the title recorded as such. If you want to be covered just in case your parents somehow stole the land and falsified their ownership, title insurance is a thing.

None of this is impossible. None of this is unknowable. This all happens everyday.
This PDF is from a rather poor scan, with low resolution and lots of moire in the half-tone prints.

The one at TIA is much sharper, altho still some moire.

Interesting that at wholeearth.info the earliest they show is the 1970 issue. But very sharp, photographed in color rather than a monochrome scan.

This could also apply to the way airlines see passengers. In my experience, passenger information is scattered across different systems and representation. One system tracks the reservation itself, which has information 1 or more passengers. Another system tracks the fare and various feeds paid or due. Another tracks check-in status. Yet another has seating information. Bags checked live somewhere else. There's not a common key. There are of course confirmation numbers (those 6-character codes), but only after a reservation is confirmed. If a person has a frequent flyer code, that's another key.

As the passenger moves through the system, each different subset of attributes is attached only to the system in which it lives, and cross-correlating a passenger across systems is done in numerous ad-hoc ways.

The customer service folks have a lot of tribal knowledge, and if you happen to get an experienced one, they can really smooth the way. During the pandemic, though, a lot of people left the industry, and a lot of knowledge just walked out the door.
“Winflation”?
I agree with you 100%, but members of the Rust project have stated in the past that async, in not insignificant ways, is a play to deliberately target the higher level web/service based crowd. So, the cultural issue is partially self-inflicted.

I'm not even sure what I want in Rust. All I know is that people have a legitimate gripe being sold on Rust async for high level work, having it ergonomically fall much flatter than it should. It's very hard to satisfy everyone, which they are learning day by day.

I do wish for the async story to mature a bit more so the implementors have a chance to show the community how good it can be. But the project needs to consider its messaging to the users it has courted over.

It doesn't prove anything about the capabilities of any model other than the one tested.

It's not just the most basic aspect of the architecture. The model weights determine the capabilities to a large degree.

> If it's something that I use frequently I want a subscription. Otherwise, not. The reason for that, is that I look at subscriptions as something I have to be convinced to continuously pay every month.

I don't agree. I'm fine with the economic idea of a subscription in terms of creating recurring revenue for developers and think a loyalty discount is a good way to convince people to keep paying, especially for tools that are used moderately to frequently. I want the latest and greatest version of the software I depend on and I don't mind paying for it, but I want to be able to stop paying at any moment and have the only downside be a loss of loyalty discount.

On the workflow / risk side, cancelling a subscription is, by design, intended to be punitive. As soon as you stop paying, the vendor revokes access to your tooling and you're workflow is disrupted. The intent is for it to damage your businesses and processes enough that cancelling becomes extremely painful.

Even the Jetbrains model that everyone seems to love is a total sham because cancelling is designed to damage your development process by forcing you to roll back to a year old version of the software.
That's the strategy that Southwest pioneered right?
Ah, so every CA in Europe just lost trustworthiness due to their government.

This isn't the strong question you seem to think it is. Assuming we're the colonists who stole from A then our ethical responsibility is to return the stolen property to A. If A in turn had stolen the property from B then it's A's ethical responsibility to return the stolen property to B. It is ABSOLUTELY not the colonists' responsibility (or right) to keep screwing over both A and B by waffling over the chain of custody when they're the ones whose hands hold the stolen property.
Sometimes the US perspective of things is completely surreal for me as a European. In a country where you can buy assault rifles with minimal background checks, people worry about addresses being available because someone might be able to look up the address to kill them with a drone and a home made bomb.
The point is that in your proposed system in which the customer keeps their local bank account number when moving banks, there will still be places where the customer will have to change their number - i.e. everywhere where their IBAN is stored. The IBAN cannot remain the same, because international institutions need to know which institutions they are dealing with. Not all institutions are legally allowed to or want to transact with all institutions.

So the added layer of complexity is that customers will have to change their number in some places but not in others. And banks will have to have a system of ensuring they match the right IBAN with the right local account number. Whenever this fails, there will be problems such as delays or money being deposited in wrong accounts etc.

This is unlike DNS over IP, which is universally/internationally agreed protocol which has 100% coverage. But even in that system, whenever you change your DNS settings, it takes a while to propagate, and in this time there are all sorts of weird errors. Cat picture websites can tolerate those sorts of errors. Financials institutions should not.
I think some of why this stuff gets overlooked is because in many cases, it's reducing the friction to do a particular thing, not necessarily enabling a new thing - we want to know what the weather is like in Peru, suddenly we know, and there wasn't any tangible process involved in getting it. It's not surprising, because we expected to know about Peruvian weather, and now we do, and that's what we'd expect, so it doesn't get noticed. We want to know what restaurants are over there, and we do. We want to know what's on their menu, and we do. We want a new spatula, and we've got one. It doesn't feel magical, it feels frictionless, which feels like the way things should be, so we don't notice it.
> Don't use Docker's --cpu flag and instead use --cpu-shares to avoid (mostly useless) quota enforcement.

One caveat is that an application can detect when --cpu is used as I think it's using cpuset. When quota are used it cannot detect and more threads than necessary will likely be spawned

It think any discussion of Liskov really needs an engineering-oriented explanation of how you commonly wind up violating Liskov and what the alternatives are. I don't think I've ever really seen a good article on that.
My experience contradicts your hyperbole. Over the past two decades I've been part of several fail overs with active/passive and build from scratch DR solutions. Most succeeded. The ones that didn't succeed on the first attempt did so on the second one. Not a perfect track record, but it does happen with proper documentation, testing, and skilled staff to handle it.
I think maybe you possibly forgot what our argument was. I said the bottleneck is memory, and not processing/hashing the keys to match them to the symbol you want to populate.

And you're currently telling me the bottleneck is memory.

I also said you don't need to parse a JSON object to a hashmap or a b-tree. The format suggests nothing of the sort. You can hash the key and fill it into a symbol slot in a tuple which... literally only takes the amount of RAM you need for the value, while the key is "free", because it just resolves to a pointer address.

Additionally, if you have a fixed tuple format, you can encode it as a JSON array, thus skipping the keys entirely. None of that is against JSON. You decide what you need and what you don't need. The keyvals are there when you need keyvals. No one is forcing you to use them where you don't need them at gunpoint.

I have a message format for a platform I'm working on, it has a JSON option, just for compatibility. It doesn't use objects at all, yet (but it DOES transfer object states). Nested arrays are astonishingly powerful on their own with the right mindset.
But in most applications only a small subset of queries need to be efficient.
If they have that many interventions, you have to imagine there are situations of needed split second interventions that aren't able to happen.

Since they rely on HD mapping, a lot of them are probably when the environment is altered by construction etc. and if that was an overwhelming majority and can be detected far in advance of an operator being assigned I think it would more ok, maybe that's the case? I'm not sure that could add up to such a large percentage unless they handle it as an exception over and over again across the fleet when there is construction.
Thanks for this feedback! I do agree there are some similarities as I called our as common benefits of using "EL pairs" on both sides of the process.

Here are my thoughts though on the importance of the distinction...

The first place you land the data is almost always a place you control - either a data warehouse or a data lake that you have tuned for fast and flexible data processing. The second (publish) process pushes to a location you most likely can't control, and which is not prepared to receive raw/unshaped data.

This is important because the business logic in our transformations will almost always evolve over time. Running between EL and P (the second "EL") gives us reproducibility and efficiency to innovate, using the location we have the best performance profile for running those transforms.

What do you think?
>Comparison to the rest of the market (on both sides) is the crux here, not being 'honest' or whatever (what does this even mean). Isn't it?

That market comparison is fraught with conditions and often only follows ill-defined job titles.

If you take a look at one of these postings - https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/292552236 - you'll note that the way it's written, there aren't any exceptional job requirements here. It's hard to see why the salary range has such a high ceiling.

Obviously in the interview, they could have much higher requirements, but we don't know that unless someone from Netflix chimes in.

For example,

>You have knowledge of various regulations and controls (SOX, PCI, CCPA, GDPR, etc)

how much is knowledge of each of those worth towards the final salary? Pricing each of those would add more fidelity to the market's signals, but companies often don't do that. Same with technical skills or knowledge of individual products: how much is AWS knowledge worth at the beginner, intermediate, and expert levels to a job that needs AWS knowledge?

This is like buying a publicly traded stock (not yolo'ing) with roughly 80% of the company information not available to you. That information is there for a reason because it promotes market efficiency. It allows you to more easily compare two companies that do similar work.

This is what is meant by honesty, but the job market hides this information. And the job market is often dishonest because it does not price these things, because it is hiding information from applicants, because that gives an advantage to employers. An extremely wide salary range here only serves that goal.

And on the employee side, it would mean that I can go learn AWS to a certain level, and I know that skill would contribute $X amount to the final salary that I can ask for. I don't have to play games trying to sell my skills for more than they're worth.

I would venture to say that most non-tech startup companies are not equipped with the knowledge, the hardware, or the political fortitude to do something like that. Especially when it's customer's money at stake. It's one thing if Joe Schmo can't watch the latest Great British Baking Show. It's another matter entirely if Joe's paycheck is missing.
> We're approaching a Neo-Feudalism society where the only people who will be able to afford to buy homes are those whose parents and grandparents were able to buy homes.

Prices of homes vary greatly. If your parents owned an apartment in a unappealing town, that won't pay your bay area house. Conversely, you may not be able to afford a house in the bay area while working there, but save enough in one year to buy a house somewhere else.

HN loves to rip on Realtors, but what you are describing is a chunk of why we exist. Even in this higher interest rate environment, I've assisted multiple first-time buyers into houses - good houses. I can't speak for all states, but both WA and OR have really great downpayment assistance programs for first-time buyers. It is by no means easy, but if people aren't building a relationship to a lender and an agent, I'm not sure where they are getting real boots-on-the-ground guidance - so is it any wonder they don't believe they can afford a house?
So true. It was such a shock moving here from Chicago. People make 50% more money, work less, have better weather, and spend all day in useless meetings where people take turns going on 10 minute long tangential, corporate buzzword filled monologues.

And I'm in an industry that makes essential, life-saving products. Can't imagine what it's like in big tech.

You may be using a stricter definition of "control you" than GP was. Perhaps the better word would be "influencing" you. That can mean something as subtle as reminding you that pizza exists and it's yummy and mmm isn't pizza just so yummy? Basically what commercials have been trying to do since forever.

Even if you don't believe Alexa and Siri are recording everything you say, I think it's pretty clear that asking them to play music gives them some power to influence you. You're telling them your musical tastes, and you're (presumably) letting them pick some songs for you. (At the very least, by simply not having the song you asked for available.) One reason, perhaps even the biggest reason, that Amazon and Apple created those products is to sell you more shit, and both of these give them some power to influence your buying habits. Perhaps that power is tiny, and the tradeoff is worth it. They're also trying to influence who you buy from, or what services you subscribe to. Vendor lock-in and all that. Is that not them trying to influence you? Perhaps even to control you?
The even better variation on this is land taxes (see Henry George's Progress and Poverty, or the summary here: https://gameofrent.com).

There are heaps of advantages to this approach, like no capital flight (can't take land overseas with you), no economic inefficiencies (taxing land doesn't get rid of land, whereas taxing pretty much anything else reduces the supply of that thing, taxing land doesn't reduce house-building the way property taxes do).
I lived in places where renting is unregulated/not protected, and in the places where it's well regulated.

IMO, being able to do a long term and safe rent is the biggest win for the financial planning and personal finance you can get:

- people can become independent as soon as they find their first job (living with a roommate is an option to get a bigger place -- valid even for decades if that fits ones lifestyle)

- high personal wealth liquidity (invest in financial markets, move to a cheaper place if the situation asks for it, move to a bigger place if the family grows)

- if the place that costs 2M to buy, an be rented for 3k, that's 50y of rent! (or even more, as the maintenance, tax & mortgage cost outperform the rent increase, not to mention a loss from not investing that money) and, think how the place will look after 50y...

But the renting must be very well regulated -- to make it a comfortable living. That's something worth (politically) fighting for.

(a happy renter)
You're basically just saying that you're okay with CIA/NSA doing whatever they want and manipulating public opinion however they want without any accountability whatsoever.
Maybe we're coming at this from different ends? I've always adopted the position that the database is the source of truth, not the ORM data model. I've always maintained that mirroring the database schema in an ORM data model is an anti pattern. And I don't like exposing tables to client code under any circumstances -- a view for queries is an absolute minimum and for updates I prefer to implement those through stored procs.

There's nothing stopping anyone from writing their own DAO layer with bespoke SQL statements and allowing intellisense to index the API over the top of that.
Hard to look it up on the phone, but I almost am sure that temperature extremes are harsher or same in Chicago than in Stockholm. I think being washed by seas from all sides makes it softer. The bigger challenge imo is very short light day in winter months. As for the weather, they are very good at handling it at infrastructural level. Roads in Iceland in the middle of the night during a winter storm are better than in California in the afternoon after a medium to heavy rain. Also their attitude to clothing and cold weather is very practical and resilient. This is why it impressed me so much, that good infrastructure made bad weather livable. Otherwise, I don’t like winters and don’t miss snow a single bit.

Wether or not laws and policies have, in practice, anything to do with what people want, is still up for debate [1] [2].

It could also be argued that such laws and policies have mainly been enacted by states in order to eliminate threats to their authority, legitimacy, or continued existence, through financial control.

Which may or may not be the case. Just pointing out that states, even liberal democracies, may not always be all about expressing the will of their constituents.

I have a 2 door late 2000’s Ford Ranger I’ve been driving for the past decade. Crank windows and the vinyl seats are falling apart and it’s my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. Low maintenance costs: only had one actual mechanical problem, bad coil pack, since I’ve owned it and I’ve had the sway bar replaced but otherwise nothing. other than that it’s only been batteries, oil and tires and registration/insurance. I bought a $200 vinyl tonneau cover off of Amazon a few years ago and the utility of the thing is just amazing for the price (I paid around $6000 USD for it in 2012). I recently replaced the crappy radio with a $40 unit with Bluetooth.

I’ve been interested in upgrading it as it’s kind of getting old now and it would be nice to get something with CarPlay without having to do a retrofit but the main killer feature that’s just not available on consumer trucks anymore is the bed size. It’s extremely rare to find a truck with the features I want that still have a 6 ft bed size. There are so many things I haul around that fit exactly into that bed length
