> A majority of the time, landlords just use that number to advertise.

It isn't even that loose, RealPage REQUIRES landlords use their price 80% of the time, and requires landlords to get approval FROM REALPAGE to not use it.

> Specifically, every morning, RealPage provides participating Lessors with recommended price levels. Lessors typically must communicate to a RealPage “Pricing Advisor” that they have “accept[ed]” or “confirm[ed] the “approved pricing” within a specified time frame. If Lessors wish to diverge from the “approved pricing” they must submit reasoning for doing so and await approval. RealPage encourages participating Lessors to have daily calls between the Lessors’ employees with pricing responsibility and the RealPage Pricing Advisor.

> If there is a disagreement between the participating Lessor and the RealPage Pricing Advisor, the dispute is often elevated to the Lessor’s management for resolution, and specific reasons justifying a departure from RealPage’s pricing level are usually required. But RealPage emphasizes the need for discipline among participating Lessors and urges them that for its coordinated algorithmic pricing to be the most successful in increasing rents, participating Lessors must adopt RealPage’s pricing at least 80% of the time.
They're pretty clear about it though erring on the conservative side.

> While none of the above results were statistically significant, we interpret our results to indicate that access to (research-only) GPT-4 may increase experts’ ability to access information about biological threats, particularly for accuracy and completeness of tasks. This access to research-only GPT-4, along with our larger sample size, different scoring rubric, and different task design (e.g., individuals instead of teams, and significantly shorter duration) may also help explain the difference between our conclusions and those of Mouton et al. 2024, who concluded that LLMs do not increase information access at this time.

Yes, but you have to go several years back on the iPhone side: a $300 iPhone 13 from 2021 handily outperforms a new $1k Galaxy S23 Ultra on most web benchmarks and anything else which doesn’t use every core and the GPU heavily.
Just allow people to do what they want with their land. If a neighborhood want's low rises, let them buy the air rights from each land owner. Then the neighborhood can sell them or not, but there's a cost.

Exactly this. And in addition, I think there's lots of potential for touch screen users. As soon as you do not have easy access to a physical keyboard, pie menus can provide a great alternative to keyboard shortcuts.
Eh.. in California at least, most landlords are being massively subsidized by Prop 13 related shenanigans. At my last apartment in SF, my landlord's property tax bill was less than 1 month of my rent (less than $3k annual) -- I was shopping for similar homes and my property taxes would have been closer to $20k annually.

Multi-unit buildings were way worse since they can be transferred creatively without reseting the property tax assessment.

Just picking on a random building in my old neighborhood but 498 Carl in the Inner Sunset of SF is a 6-unit rental building - at least 3 of the units have turned over in the past few years and were rented for over $3k each. Total property taxes due on this 6,000sq ft building which is netting the owner more than $150k in rent are $6,800 annually.

Across the street a nice 1,700sq ft SFH which sold in 2021 -- property taxes on this house are $20,000 annually.

> No, it is how to avoid conflicts: by publicly claiming a namespace.

Which is what this is doing, by publicly claiming a namespace for anyone's internal use. Since it's internal use and there is no public use, there can't be a public conflict.

> theoretically losing the name space and causing conflicts because of incompetence

This is not theoretical. It's a major part of the squatter's business model. People don't renew their domains and then get extorted to buy them back. Happens all the time, and is significantly more likely to happen for an internal domain that has no DNS records with the registrar and doesn't appear to be in use.

> But even an organization of a modicum of size needs to register a domain for being able to use e-mail.

Which will be a different domain, often administered by different people, because it's being used for the company's public infrastructure rather than its internal network.
> Reality in a lot of european cities is fundamentally different to most of the US.

I am not sure about which european city you are in. Here in Germany, there are more cars than people. Infact, there is so much parking shortage that, people walk 10 minutes away to park their cars, because the streets are already full.

Also, I don't know anyone going to store daily, most people shop en-mass over the weekend, mostly Saturday afternoon. Only people I see regularly on the malls near me are just retired oma/opa but they also shop like every 4-5 days.

That being said, while at least in the city I am in, has the most connected and excellent public transport, somehow I have to take a reverse de-tour by bus on my way to work, because bus routes are not often straight forward and there are only specific limited routes I can take, unless I can find a place near some U/S-bahn station(immensely difficult these days due to housing crisis).

If I had a car, I could reduce my daily commute to work by 2.5h, but then again, I don't have strict on-site requirements, so it doesn't matter.
In the US there’s another option: become a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). That’s what we (Answer.AI) did. It provides a great solution to exactly this problem: you don’t have to sell your company just because the financial offer is high; if it’s not going to help you achieve your stated public benefit then you can reject the offer.

There’s really no significant downside to becoming a PBC, AFAICT, and a lot of potential upside.
It'd be a good way to drive wealth out of your city, much like the hollowing out of detroit. Only so many people can live at the expense of someone else before they decide to leave.

Really, you are using your commute time to prepare for work? Listen to an audiobook or do something else for yourself during that time. Don’t give that time to a company that cares nothing about you.
The problem being discussed is the same as my toy example, just extended to more coins.

You now have 101 coins, with biases ranging from 100 percent heads (or urn with only red balls) to 100 percent tails (or urn with only green).

Someone chooses one of the 101 coins randomly (each coin has equal probability of being chosen) and starts flipping it.

First flip shows heads, what is the probability the next flip is also heads?

Answer is 2/3.

The point is that knowing what was the first flip gives information about what biases a coin may have.

The original problem has a minor technical twist that balls are drawn without replacement, but it’s an irrelevant detail for N>10 total balls.
I don’t know if I’ve changed or the valley has changed but I look at all these places I’ve been over the years and I think it just doesn’t seem that way anymore. Makes me very nostalgic for a valley that seems to have died away and grown into something that I despise sadly. Mostly maybe because of Deer Creek.
It isn't. It's crass but constitutionally protected political speech.
I'd bet they'd support land value taxes before they allow new construction.
What are you advocating
Anyone can afford means zero, FWIW. Many people that are homeless aren’t broke, but most are.

There have been experiment with public housing over the years all over the world and in the US. The anyone can afford was achieved by pegging rent in the federal programs at 25% of income.

The problem is “any luxuries” boils down to safe, maintained properties not riddled with crime. To get economies of scale they were built as large projects which essentially created high density zones of inescapable poverty. They were / are extremely unpopular with literally everyone, especially the people that live there. Unfortunately the alternatives don’t scale well in the US given all the exact same reasons that cause housing to be so expensive in the first place.

100% likely. Several projects, right now.

GPT-4 is the best model currently available. There are reasons why it's better to control a model and host yourself etc etc, but there are also reasons to use the best model available.
The whole bodies should be donated (for re use as much as possible, and then research) by default, or even mandatorily, since you don't need it any more after you're dead.

Sadly some people have weird fetishes over corpses and want them handled in various ritualistic ways, which I think holds back progress and quality of human life (through tissue donations). We used some cadaver tissue in a study and had to return it (what was left of it) afterwards!

Later we realized the same doesn't apply to tissue removed from living people for medical reasons, which to a startup made some things easier (and in other ways harder -- typically, healthy tissue isn't removed from living people, thank goodness!)
Is Congress close to passing anything? These public tongue lashings that have been going on for years make good theater I guess but are utterly ridiculous at this point.
>How much you gonna make off these panels?

You're dismissing the possibility of free EV charging attracting shoppers. Step 1 is getting people to visit your store, step 2 is getting them to buy something, and step 3 is getting them to come again. Step 1 & 3 would immediately get noticed by the corporate bean counters. The real problem I think is the up-front costs of the installation.

No, but in theory, an insurance company could use this to calculate your risks differently. Even a 1% signal isn't worthless.

Thanks. I've looked into this and it looks quite opaque or requires to jump through hoops for most things:

One person's specific usage of AI, in a specific game, where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji, is not a referendum on whether or not AI itself has common sense.

Anecdotally, I received 2-3 messages from recruiters almost daily during 2020-2021 (ended up taking a job from one in 2021). I didn't hear anything from recruiters from 2022 until about 2 weeks ago -- now they're starting to trickle back in. I don't know if that indicates that hiring is picking pack up; just wanted to share my perspective.
> Except they appear to have done this in 2013

The first mDNS draft came out in 2001. And as noted RFC 6762 § Appendix G, .local was used by Mac OS 9 for the same purpose as it it was for mDNS: link-local resolution.
You shouldn’t feel bad for having higher expectations.
I would argue that this shows weaponized incompetence from IT and is indicative of larger organizational issues.
The simplicity comes from adding it to the search domains list, or domains that will be automatically appended to queries that aren't fully qualified.

As .lan,.local,.corp etc... aren't marked as internal, the root domain servers recieve thousands of queries per second for these internal use domains.

Not only does this add load to the root servers and add lag to applications, it leaks internal information while providing zero value to the user.

Just as you never have to type '.localdomain' on a CentOS or Fedora box, you won't have to type it with this change unless you want to specify a fully qualified domain.

Another advantage may be a simplification of internal certificates without the current risky practice of adding internal CAs to the global CA list to get around this problem.

https://cabforum.org/internal-names/

The CAB forum doesn't care about internal use but we have to all deal with it. It is quite possible that if this is standardized that companies could apply for intermediate CA's signed by a public cert that only apply to RFC1918 space and the .internal. TLD.

Although they will probably still claim it is out-of-scope:

https://github.com/cabforum/forum/blob/main/CSCWG-charter.md...

But at least with an but with a official non-global TLD it may be possible to make a case for it.
I hope the landlords / software makers take these case to Supreme Court. This is pure interference to free markets and price discovery

The graphic/video industry has this idea of pipeline where multiple software are used to produce something. So if tomorrow I create say a Photoshop competitor, well, professionals using Photoshop as part of their pipeline will not even bother checking my product if it doesn't integrate with say illustrator, after effects, premiere, in design... in the sense that they should be able import the dot AI in my software for a project, and if the dot AI file changes, it should also change inside my software automatically.

Adobe and their software basically dominate the graphic design pipeline, and you bet that the format they use aren't all documented.

DAW work differently. First every software is expected to have a level of support for plugins off various formats (vst, au, clap...), MIDI, and of course audio is audio. There is also an effort to create an DAW interexchange format. So this is somehow a much much more collaborative community. So there is less vendor lock-in...

Finally, each DAW is different enough that there are not really in competition with one another. Been using Logic since 1998, nothing beats it at what it does well, but I'm willing to check alternatives ;)
The last time I tried that was about 3 years ago when I started a new job. My work laptop wasn't ready, so I used one of my own running PureOS. Teams worked in Firefox, though sometimes it was a bit sluggish. And I had to turn off cookie blocking.
I wonder if some of that could be solved via VR or even just video games. Not as good as the real thing but should be more mentally stimulating than passively watching.
I hope it's not everything by hand.

Here’s an article unpacking the financialization at Intel. The good stuff is about halfway down.

The root problem is that we allow vacancies.

People can't just choose to not live somewhere and participate in the housing market. Vacancies allow renters to take advantage of this asymmetry by limiting market supply. They are naturally empowered to do this, because participation is inherently guaranteed.

Renters don't even have to coordinate this behavior: it's a shared goal already (to maximize the price each asset, while minimizing the number of total assets that are sold/rented), which means this pattern will emerge naturally from any efficient real estate market.

Like other commenters have recognized, this system can be compared to contract work. A contracted engineer can choose to allocate any arbitrary amount of her time to not working. This is a desirable pattern, because a person not working is a desirable outcome. In real estate, it's an undesirable pattern because a vacant home is an undesirable outcome.
The back half of this piece is largely about the network performance and deployment issues of Macaroons and how we addressed them. This is a real system, running in production; it isn't a proposal.
> In 1996, Be Incorporated got a major opportunity. They had a chance to sell the company and BeOS to Apple, which at the time was looking to replace its old Mac OS. However, according to Welcome to Low End Mac, Be Incorporated was looking to sell the company for $300 million.

Be had their chance to sell to Apple, but was asking for too much and ended up selling for far less.

> In September 2003, The New York Times reported that Microsoft and Be Incorporated settled this case. Microsoft agreed to pay $23.3 million to the company but did not admit to any wrongdoing.

> RFC6598 defines CGNAT IP space as 100.64.0.0/10

That's a relatively recent RFC; there are ISPs which have been using CGNAT for longer than that, and they do use RFC1918 addresses for their CGNAT (for instance, I know of one which used something in the 10.x.x.x range for CGNAT, which works in practice since most domestic networks use something in the 192.168.x.x range).

You’d lose that bet. Console games can be done with friends and family, and they don’t give you headaches or nausea after an hour. The hardware demands push the price up and that makes the social challenge harder, too.

Let's try it as a set of 3 balls. You have 3 balls in an urn, random number of red v green, the first one you pull is red, what's the likelihood that the second one you pull is also red?
It's also capable of handling very thin material and it's very repeatable.

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTW_Generation_15 trains also rely on it, as the weight limit stems from the track (to passively bank in curves, the cabin is underneath the rail (and there's only one rail as this arrangement is stable and just acts like a pendulum), so the track needs to be a bridge).

Also:

I think he's right to say that democracy is at risk when people realize they can treat the government as a way to enrich themselves -- but the homeless population isn't the risk here. No representative is being elected by the homeless vote to propose bills to give away extravagant benefits.

The _worrying_ people that are "taking" more than they pay in taxes are firms in subsidized industries, government contractors, and companies with elaborate tax avoidance strategies. How about all those companies that got PPP loans that were forgiven, even if they didn't have meaningful covid-related business disruption?
