Landlords will soon strong-arm their tenants into granting "permission based access" to their personal financial accounts to fintech firms like FunnelLeasing (that, in turn, use services like Finicity.com) to monitor their tenants IN REAL TIME from the moment of application, throughout the entire lease period, and at every renewal, with AI models making decisions about how to rate the relationship on a level never before possible.

It will literally be possible for the landlords to know which of their tenants are insolvent before many of those tenants know! (An insolvent tenant that has not yet filed for bankruptcy can usually be summarily evicted under contract law, but previously, collecting such evidence of insolvency was time consuming and not cost effective, giving the tenant time to pull out of their tailspin before missing rent payments and filing a bankruptcy petition.)

In practical terms, it means that people just starting out (or starting again) are going to be heavily marginalized and wind up on the streets, group homes, etc. after one of life's many possible adverse events leads to the suspension of their income and depletion of their reserve funds (layoff; family medical issue; automobile accident, etc.) https://youtu.be/56u6g0POvo0
It is a large number for a first world country with high GDP. Of course anything looks OK if you compare to many developing world nations.
We should definitely give more money to Bezos, Musk and the like, I'm sure that will fix the problem.
>For every parent who has the right personality, time AND education to teach their child at home, there are 5,000 who should NOT be teaching their kids - or anyone's kids.

Could say the same about teachers in schools really.
Inflation alone would likely burn through any of that cash much faster though, and that's assuming investors didn't mind leaving the money parked there and avoided clawing it back or forcing an exit.
> Isn't it more useful to think of code not as an asset but as a liability?

In the same way a factory should be accounted for as a liability. You spend to build the factory, then it depreciates to zero value, so all you've done is lose your original capital. It's not possible to ever get ahead.

That's just a very bad understanding of basic accounting.

Code is a capital asset. Getting value from it over the long term requires maintenance and repairs, improvements and replacements. "Technical debt" is a complete misnomer in terms of accounting principles.
> > There are trade offs to weight

More weight, they feel like boats in corners, there is a reason why cornering on a motorbike feels better than cornering in a car, and cornering in a light car always feels better than a heavy car. On a heavy EV you can't drift , you can't slide the back, no mechanical feedback, no sound eww.

> > Price is worse if you ignore total cost of ownership… otherwise price is generally better. (Ie model 3 is cheaper than Corolla)

There are Toyotas out there with 1M miles on the same engine whereas Tesla need total overhaul after 100k miles, not to mention diesel trucks, there are diesel trucks out there with 5M miles on the same engine.

> > Time to refuel… but you plug it in at night so you don’t need to refuel, I’d call this a trade off not better or worse.

When I buy a car I want to be able to use it 24/7/365, it is way worse to need 7 hours to recharge as opposed to a 30 seconds splash and go.

> > Model Y sells more units per quarter than any other vehicle ever

And you extrapolate this quarterly data thinking it will reach the same level of sales of VW Golfs and Corollas, that's the mistake. VW and Corolla at cumulatively 200M units sold they moved (and still move the world) , Teslas move a bunch of rich guys who want to virtue signal, there is a limited number of them.
I agree with this. I wonder if they require their suppliers to be ISO 9001 certified. It's incredibly common in the legacy auto manufacturers. The fact that it wasn't mentioned by Tesla in any of their rebuttals makes me wonder if they deviated from this best practice. If so, they seem to be forcing themselves to relearn the same mistakes of their predecessors.

This certification area is one I've given some thought to. I think, especially in the AV space, there is a need for an improved standardized certification process. But to be fair, the VW diesel scandal followed a standardized EPA test, and they still gamed it, so it has to be carefully thought out.
Clearest example is Iceland that doesn't even have its own military.

If NATO is such an equal alliance, why is US the only "partner" that e.g. has (a lot of) military bases, running on their own laws, in other "partner" countries.

Edit: And my point of view definitely isn't from American exceptionalism. I oppose my country's (Finland's) NATO membership and watch in horror how there's now going to be 12 bases in Finland that are essentially under pure US control (Finnish laws don't apply there, or even to the US personnel outside the areas, and Finland has no say in US military coming and going as they like).

nyud.net (coral cdn) was my first experience with this pattern... back from the slashdot days in the 00s.
i disagree. it's tough for me to explain but there seemed to be a really kind culture around couchsurfing that was about sharing space and experiences with people from all over the world.

the role of a host is at minimum to provide a safe place for someone to crash. i really felt safe at the ~10 places i stayed. I'm male, so definite bias, but i met other surfers that were female and had similar experiences to mine and female hosts that never had issues. profiles could have shaped the version of couch surfing i was seeing however.
PoS addresses only part of the inefficient architecture. You’re no longer needing hundreds of power plants to operate a niche financial service, but you still have the storage needed to store every transaction (which is also a huge privacy risk) and the incredibly low transaction rate. These systems are hugely expensive to operate relative to their almost non-existent real-world usage.
Incidental Learning
The problem with the dark forest hypothesis is that there's already no way to hide from the techinically advanced malignant actors that could execute a Dark Forest strike in the first place.

If your civilization is technically advanced enough to be a potential threat to such an actor, the highly energetic actions you are undertaking for interstellar travel will be visible to all of space via radio and infrared telescopes. Given that it will be economically infeasible to launch all of the payloads required to produce interstellar spaceships from within the gravity well of a planet, the orbital infrastructure required itself will lkely be visible as a periodic dimming of the planet's sun. It too, will give off infrared radiation detectable by a far-off technically advanced malignant actor.

There is no hiding in space. Your only hope for species and evolutionary survival in a dark forest is to aggressively disperse to uninhabited target systems. However, this also increases the likelihood that one of those systems will go rogue and eliminate the other ones it knows about.

Given this, the best strategy seems to be first avoidance of contact, then diplomacy, then detente, and finally alliance and assimilation in a Dark Forest universe. The allied powers can ensure that any bad actors that attempt elimination strikes are outnumbered and eliminated themselves.

On top of that, space is infinitely large. There are an enormous amount of finite resources within a planetary solar system which are way more energetically economic to exploit than ones in other systems. Once a civilization is forced to expand for survival beyond its local system, it is likewise economically cheaper to avoid warfare to claim one particular planetary system for its resources than to fight an interstellar war that risks the annihilation of the conflict participants' civilizations. There are literally an infinite number of systems to choose from.

There's no reason to destroy other competitors when the resources you are competing for are infinite. In such a scenario, which our universe seems to be an example, the only reason for conflict is malignant choice.

The prisoner's dilemma between two or more civilizations presented in the series would never need to occur.

The philosophy behind Three Body is just terribly cynical and illogical in the face of what we know of the existing universe. It makes for a great story, but the type of aggression posited in technical species doesn't provide an evolutionary advantage.

It should be noted that the entire Dark Forest philosophy presented in the book came from an unstable, traumatized, suicidal, xenophobic, nihilistic genius. Not the sort of person who you want forming the zeitgeist for existing in a much larger ecosystem of other civilizations.

If you accept the premise, then the series is great. But the premise assumptions are fundamentally flawed.
I think of "technical debt" in the same way that I do construction scaffolding: it's essential, but if you focus only on your scaffolding then you won't build the building you're trying to build. If you never take the scaffolding down, then it becomes part of the whole project. If your scaffolding is poorly done, then your building (program) will crash or will take forever to build. Lots of potential to build proper scaffolding that vastly reduces the cost of a project.

Can't be done without it, but it can definitely get in the way.
This is incredibly sad, and also very disappointing.

Whatever we've been doing to solve the shortage of low-income housing in the US is not working. At all.

Really cold weather doesn’t have much wind. It’s metrology. Without long term storage, wind power during the winter in the northern hemisphere is just meh. Same with any variable renewable energy source. Instead of celebrating the few times renewable energy actually produces energy when it’s needed we should celebrate every time a new Nuclear power plant comes online.
Sadly, the article seems to be a cheap ideological button-pusher, and never even attempts to answer the "Why Is the Press..." question. Sure, the Teaching-Educational Complex doesn't like home schooling. But the WSJ could easily learn if (say) teachers' pension funds were buying controlling interests in news organizations - and publish a real news story about that.

My theory: With the huge number of home-schooled kids, there's a never-ending supply of outrageous & clicky "Home Schooler Does X!" long-tail stories for the Press to cash in on. Vs. grim stories about bottom-of-the-curve public school districts would both require the journalists to do more work, and attract accusations of racism & such.
We don't have to deal with the consequences of failed public schools?

I was surprised when I heard they are taking phenylephrine off the market.

In my anecdotal experience, it was extremely effective at drying out my sinuses, which did reduce congestion. So I asked some family and friends and their responses were mixed. Some said it did nothing and others swore it was effective.

I'm not claiming that phenylephrine is in fact generally effective, just wondering out loud if there could be more to the story. I.e., it works for some people and not others.

Anecdotes are not science. But if enough people share an experience, sometimes there is more to the story.

Great project!

I am a happy user of warp.dev
They are enhancing the standard terminal experience with a lot of features- some of the same ones in hucksh (they just added showing the directory and other metadata of the command in the history search).

IMHO it's going to be hard to get developers to pay for a terminal when there are a lot of free options. Warp is trying to sell based on team collaboration features- often this is the right model although at the moment their team collaboration features doesn't seem to meet my needs.
Not really (even though the low pay for teachers is a filter for talent) - public school teachers still have to have at least a documented education to teach, and must maintain their certifications/training.

Parents are not required to do any of that.
You can learn NextJS easily, if you have good understanding of React. Also, while using Nextjs for the apis, you need to learn some basic syntax like we have in Express.js or node. Rest, consider it as same as React in a broader way and you can easily follow along with the documentation of Next.JS
Why is the US not tracking all these humans? Count them in the census, let them pay taxes, get them all legal protections under US law. Let them fight to stay in this country with productivity.

> so I think we should just not play that game

I don't think there's any way out of that particular game other than not having children; they're going to need to go onto careers, and as much as the education system might suck, it's less grim than the careers they'd face without a degree. My cousin's (I don't have a lot of cousins but we've actually been close our whole lives; we've lived in the same city and I actually consider them my college friends because we also went to the same school) daughter's 3rd birthday is coming up. His ask - no presents, just college contributions please.

I myself opted out of the game early on, and upon a lot of reflection of late, I think this is a significant reason I did although I would have had a hard time articulating it when I was younger.
But parents have been to school as well (as kids), they should already know? Or did some major things change since then?
Simply a different, more humanist perspective on declining reproduction rates across much of the world. It’s really not news, just a different lens. And this particular symptom is not alleviated by immigration - if you import a bunch of people your existing population doesnt get more cousins.
Reflecting on my first year as a Growth Engineering Advisor
Teachers are kept in check by school administrators, other teachers, parents, and nowadays increasingly media (both social and professional).

Parents teaching at home have no guardrails. They can beat their kids or feed them candy all day, and nobody will know for a decade.
As someone who has been around the education systems my whole life, this is an unhelpful perspective to have. At least teachers generally have been educated in how to teach, specialize in a couple of fields(and age groups), and have a support structure for special needs students. The same is not expected from a homeschooling parent.
Sure, but that's a different thing than what I said.

It doesn't matter that there's no algorithm. It is just interesting to me that outlandish Christian conspiracies about the end of the world/angels/etc. are almost immediately being uploaded to a brand-new platform.

That has nothing to do with how content is delivered?
The internet isn’t decentralized the same way: you have single authorities managing routes, DNS, etc. and - critically - unlike blockchains you aren’t trying to have a single global consensus across the entire system. If my ISP updates my IP, nobody else needs to see and process a transaction, there’s no quorum, etc. That trustless design is what makes blockchains so expensive to use.

Does public key necessarily have to be high friction?

Couldn't there be a few-step UI similar to "Sign in with Google/Facebook/etc"?
This. Public school has to be catered to the bell curve. How much of that bell curve is covered depends on the budget of the school and how flat the bell curve is based on other factors. Because of this, much of school is repetitious, boring and unnecessary. Classroom management amounts to "babysitting" according to my teacher friend.

Homeschool kids can learn in 30/min per day what public school kids take all day to learn. Then they have more time to play or develop healthy interests.

Yes, the lack "kid-tracking" creates more room for abuse and brainwashing. That problem can be answered in ways that don't require kids to sit in a windowless room for 6 hours a day.

Nope, I'm with you. Based on the quick blurb about what the vuln way, $1337 is an absolutely steal for Google. Paying for a team or outside pentesters to attempt to find this would be _way_ more expensive.

I enjoy John Oliver too, but have you ever watched a segment on something you know really well?
The media publishes whatever will get views and clicks and engagement. Sometimes a topic gets started and it gets people going and they'll go with it. Press isn't fair or super accurate. There's wars where we learn about every daily happening and minutiae and there's wars where we barely know are happening.

There's laws that actively kill people all the time in the millions and yet we discuss whatever current minor change to some inconsequential law triggers sensitivities and drives clicks. The press is all a business like any other business, they haven't gotten any more morals than Facebook or Monsanto, but we learn about journalistic integrity and codes from journalists and eat it up.
Yes, the vast majority of homeschooled children are the product of extremely evangelical families who close ranks in fear that their children will be taught a perspective that doesn't align with the parent's values. And that's fine, but those kids will eventually make it out into the real world.
John Oliver is a comedian, clearly someone with an agenda, that sends his children to very expensive schools where the issues that many children face while at school don't exist, and that doesn't mention any data other than anecdotal evidence to support his particular views.
Legalizing spyware. What can go wrong?
Well, one relevant difference is that in a school the student is exposed to dozens of teachers while at home the number is much smaller.

What happens if you apply this same criteria to, say, the US dollar? Should US dollars go away?
Maybe you should talk to an old social worker or few, about the huge number of kids who are both abused, and attending public schools. "Teachers are mandated reporters" is nothing resembling a magical fix, even in school districts where the teachers are not already stretched to burn-out by all the other demands placed upon them.

Maybe it's a scale thing. If you are sologeneer working on your own project, with a singular vision, making tools to make your life simpler is a no-brainer.

If you are implementing a feature for stakeholders on a large piece enterprise software, you don't necessarily have knowledge or understanding of helper tools from earlier work, so that's extra overhead to understand anything non-standard. Then when the stakeholders change direction (as they often do), any assumptions in your code may need to be upheld while implementing the next feature.

Edit: This is also why it's nice to use widely adopted libraries and frameworks for any helper code. That way a new starter has a chance of understanding what's going on.
The earlier comment suggests he would like to see the data, not a comedian's attempt to humorously analyze the data.
