What a great read. I hate from Amicalola Falls to Blythe Gap North Carolina, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. You can really find yourself completely alone, and it's quite humbling.

>There is a serious blind spot in extremist thinking that is incapable of reflecting on self-accountability. Their tone is typically and predictably righteous indignation with absolutely no fault on their side, while at the same time demonizing and dehumanizing the other side. At the end of the day it is their religion and their unwavering commitment to it which is blinding them.

I agree. Americans should consider their unwavering commitment to Christian imperialism and their support for Israeli zionism, and reflect on the accountability they hold for supporting the violence their military has spread across the entire world in the name of Christian dominionism and the almighty petrodollar.

America's President and government in particular, in seeing absolutely no fault on their or Israel's side, while demonizing Islam as a "religion of evil" and supporting "crusade" and the genocide of Palestinians, should set aside their religion and their righteous indignation.

The world would be a lot better off if America would just live up to its own ideals. For once.

Experienced the same system in the Bay Area. Rent increases by 300 - 500, but the new lease is lower. You can try signing a lease on a new apartment and deal with the logistics of moving, having some period of extension/overlapping rent payment, which is a huge hassle and may not even save you money.

The whole point of pro-competition laws is to stop large corporations or a cartel from using market power to control pricing, which is the scheme you just laid out. So, yes, that would be illegal. You can say "no collusion", but you (the operator) have effectively organized a cartel. Each individual landlord may escape liability, but you will not.

Commodities exchanges (I believe) work on a competitive bidding system, which is basically the opposite - you have willing buyers and sellers with roughly equal power/information.

Of course if they had a nuclear base they wouldn't even need the natural gas plants.
In only 11 years Tesla built the world's best EV charging network to cover the entire US interstate system, highways, major cities, important destinations, and more recently even medium and small cities.

I'm confident Tesla can expand their network to cope with additional demand and in a relatively short amount of time. Expanding an existing site is usually a lot faster and cheaper as well.

Those will become "in-app" purchases before long. Tesla already has this with self-driving. Many car companies are charging to enable features with a software switch now, which are more what I mean by "in-app", i.e. they will move them from sale time to prompt you for seat warmers on a really cold day, then charge you monthly to keep it. It's the idea that I need to pay a subscription for a car feature that irks me

How is a Zestimate or Redfin home value estimate legal then? Or a Redfin rental estimate? [1] Would it become illegal - or a cartel - if too many people started using it to set rents?

Should we forbid tools to help landlords figure out how much their places should rent for?

This is not a misleading headline.
That's why any good company has code review rules and required linters and push restrictions, etc.
No. The third party is the one colluding in your example, assuming the facts there are the same here: one software vendor, all the companies in a city are using it, software is driving wages in a direction profitable for companies and worse for employees of said company.
Credit card swipe away from opening an account. If I’m an engineering leader that can get started using DD by expensing it under a very low limit, I’m giving it a chance to catch on. The length, complexity and cost of some software sales cycles are insane, and a major hinderance.

I don’t have any insight into NR in particular, but the DD credit-card-swipe model is absolutely a positive for getting a wedge into an org. The eye-watering expense reality of DD comes later, after the company is hooked.
Seems like that's how we get Google, though. They've eliminated human error by eliminating humans who can make decisions. I can't say for certainty that's any better.
Good point, in my experience so far it's been pretty hard to have a coworker that's an ass. Managers, oh hell yeah there are a lot of assholes out there, otherwise bad coworkers get weeded out pretty quickly.
It's not clear what the limits are, from the article or really from OpenAI. The author only really knew that some combination of quantity and extent of material was enough to trigger a warning, it could very well have been a handful of users pushing boundaries pretty far. NSFW is one thing, but chat can certainly go into NSFL territory, non-consensual roleplay, etc.

I don't know if people here are being naive or dense, but merely "non-PC" content isn't going to trigger anything.

I spent like a couple minutes setting up a roleplay where ChatGPT is happily advocating for Nazi ideology (and not even on the API; ChatGPT is generally more censorious than the API). I'm not going to try to hit the limits, but I literally don't think you can hit the limits with merely political speech. I don't know what the NSFW limits are, but I bet they are further than people here think.

The vagueness absolutely makes stuff difficult, and the author hit a kind of all-or-nothing approach by going from no restrictions to using the moderation endpoint which is very strict. That could be improved.

Talking about pricing is fine.

Not fine: “I’ll set my price to $X if you do as well.”

The hard cases arise when this communication is obscured or implicit.

How would they regulate fluctuations in demand? Nuclear can’t do that. You need storage, or a reasonably scalable generation medium. Nuclear as a base load is moot

Author here. This decision was more about ease of implementation than anything else. Our internal application logs were already being scooped up by GCP because we run our services in GKE, and we already had a GCP->Datadog log syncer [1] for some other GCP infra logs, so re-using the GCP-based pipeline was the easiest way
to handle our application logs once we removed the Datadog agent.

In the future, we'll probably switch these logs to also go through our collector, and it shouldn't be super hard (because we already implemented a golang OTel log handler for the external case), but we just haven't gotten around to it yet.

You can have a hole the size of a quarter with no effect on cabin pressure.

This is why the fear that a bullet fired in the airplane will pop it like a balloon is unfounded. Poking a hole in the fuselage won't do anything. A bullet would have to hit and disable something critical (and there's always a backup for critical parts).

He copped a lot of flack for promoting unorhodox (at the time) thoughts about infinity.

There are many many logicians and set theorists, only a few make the "whackiest intellectuals" list - I personally would class Russell as well balanced, Alonzo Church as quite sensible, Dana Scott as pretty solid, . . . etc.

Is the Sherman Antitrust Act the legal basis for the lawsuit against the software company?

The Sherman Antitrust Act seems to deal with interstate commerce. Clearly the software is sold in many states. Some rental markets are multi-state. Some apartment management companies are multi-state. Would it apply to those rental markets and management companies that are not interstate?
If you need a company in Taiwan, it's generally best to have your main company outside and have a branch in Taiwan. It has significant tax benefits, particularly for foreigners.

A branch can repatriate profits to the parent company, after paying Taiwan tax. If you have a standalone Taiwan company, then you have to pay dividends, then pay personal tax on it. If you are not resident in Taiwan, then you would pay 20% tax on those dividends. There is also a 5% tax on retained earnings.

Another benefit is that if your company pays someone overseas for services, then Taiwan considers that "Taiwan source income", and they owe 20% tax on it. Other countries like Hong Kong would not tax that money.

As foreigner, if you leave, then you would find it difficult to run your company remotely. So you might as well set up somewhere else.
If they are found guilty will renters be getting massive checks from the rental companies that have been ripping them off? Will rental prices drop by huge percentages? If those things don't happen where exactly is the justice?
To define exceedingly. Well I guess I just see this as a natural partner in the housing crisis. To combat things like this is to help solve the housing problem today. The prices are not going up like this because there are too many people, the prices are going up because of economic centralization.
No, because it's decentralized. The Price Advisor LLC is sort of important there.

e.g. take a cartel that you genuinely think is a cartel. Now instead of them all colluding, imagine that they set up Price Advisor LLC, and that no two of them ever talk to each other to set prices. All price setting is done by Price Advisor LLC. Moving the price setting into this LLC does not make the operation not a cartel. The LLC saying it's "checking comparables" does not make it not a cartel. After all, if a legitimate cartel could dodge this by just making a new LLC, then it would almost always make sense to cartelize because you can always act as a cartel without being considered a cartel for the cost of $500.
My own experience: I live in LA and know that almost every 100 unit+ building within a few blocks uses RealPage. I know it because I had to apply to them through it.

The software has completely ruined the market here and every leasing agent pretty much says "I have no control over this, if you see a lower price apply to lock it in but other than that the algorithm sets all the pricing. I can't modify it."

It is very obvious that all these buildings are colluding with each other to price their leases. It's pretty much a simple positive feedback loop of increases. Since everyone is raising their prices, the consumer has no choice but to pay the high price. Even smaller buildings who don't use this software, look at the prices set by it and use it to set their own pricing.

I think the conduct is egregious and clearly illegal. If this was one building using it, it wouldn't be. But when almost every building uses it, it clearly creates a monopolistic market

Nim!

This year will be my first live advent of code.
I've been learning programming in general and Nim language for the past half a year. And only start feeling confident with it.

So, while learning it, I've got through most problems of 2021 and 2022 AOC with multiple days or week-long delays between.

I'm a bit nervous to be burnt out by making myself go through AOC daily. Because I know how hard for me to solve the problems past first 15.

It's also an established-company problem, for reals. Some of that stuff you didn't fix when you were small and could still pick your priorities will still be a problem other people will work around for decade or two. That OS you're giving yourself another year to upgrade will go out of support in a few more than that. That dev you can't stand who's the only one who can maintain that service one service you always meant to replace? In a few years, that service will be around, and so will that dev, and you won't be any fonder of them by then, either.

> The prices are not going up like this because there are too many people, the prices are going up because of economic centralization.

Well no, they're going up because there's not enough houses near the jobs. Studies show the US is short 2-6,000,000 homes. Until that changes, prices will only keep going up. The centralization here is making it move faster than it otherwise would but the bounds and direction remain unchanged.

This will only affect you if you do a fresh install of course. If you upgrade it won't touch your config files.

Same, probably would be fine if my social batteries weren't drained from the pandemic. Getting to the point where it's effecting my productivity from lack of drive.
In principle yes,

Anything you get aware that goes fast-to-slow in a smooth gradient is the idea.

I tried sound (beats) on a headphone with some tracks, then build a tiny app to show pixels on the screen (blink) and then settled on a LED on a prototyping board type of device (ESP32) as a quick project and that worked.

I only improved by adding the heart sensor months later, now I don't think about it much, Now even If I'm not aware of, every time I turn the iMac it powers the device via the USB and so it starts anyway at 150bpm when the heart sensor is not responding or not detecting anything. After an hour it gets to 60 and the light fades out....

I'm not aware when it goes off, so I guess it is working ; )

Few people here posted code, ideas and I added the device pic I used (similar) and the sensors... you can buil one with almost anything and try!

Good luck!

> This is my fear with everyone eventually plugging in their electric vehicles at 5pm.

If I plug my car in at 5pm, it won't start charging for 7 hours, when it's economically rational for it to do so. Time-of-use pricing seem to solve this. EV load is among the least time-sensitive of all power consumers. Set up your pricing right, and the EV charging will follow.

In theory, there is obviously a difference between the two things you mentioned. However, from what we can see happening in reality, there is no indication that Israel's military makes that distinction. See this article for a summary of the destruction up to November 12: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-war-inflicts-...

Let us assume that Israel is truthful about every claim they made about Hamas being inside or under pretty much every school, hospital, religious object, and other building that is normally protected from being attacked by the international law of war, and let us assume that their indiscriminate destruction of such objects is legitimate. Does that naturally extend to also include over 45% residential housing units (from the article) absolutely needing to be destroyed or damaged?

From the article: "An Israeli reporter who was taken to see the Gazan town of Beit Hanoun by the Israeli military reported on Sunday that "barely a single inhabitable building remains standing". More than 52,000 people had lived there before the war."

Was the killing of more than 4500 children also absolutely unavoidable, and not just a part of a campaign of vengeful destruction and killing to satisfy bloodlust that is bordering on genocide?

The reports from the ground just don't match the stated goals of the Israeli government and military, nor their stated excuses for so much bloodshed. Let us for the moment pretend that naming killed innocent civilians 'collateral damage' somehow makes their killing okay, and that saying that "Hamas hides among civilians and uses them as human shields" somehow makes it okay to just bomb all those civilians, hoping to also get some militants in the process. We can all make a very good guess that had Hamas fled inside an Israeli city and hid among that city's population, there wouldn't have been indiscriminate bombing of that city with all the killed Israeli citizens being merely proclaimed collateral damage and "oh well, hamas used them as human shield, so we had to bomb them to death". There would have been very precise military action involving a lot of ground fighting, in order to actually minimize civilian deaths, because then it would be civilians that they actually care about. Palestinians, on the other hand... unfortunate human shields and all. Their deaths seem welcome, if anything. And that's genocidal intent.
One piece of confusion here is that you do not actually have to prove a literal explicit agreement between the parties to be successful.

While tacit collusion is not itself illegal, conspiracy is.

Put another way:

You can prohibit folks from agreeing not to compete, no matter what form that agreement takes.
You don't have to know who you are avoiding competition with, etc

However you can't order people to compete just because they aren't
Well if you believe that the problem is that there are not enough houses, these people did not collude, and nothing needs to change. That make sense.
