Do you mean transfer the lien to your new property? A lot of seniors move to different states which might complicate things.

There's another way that is better than it currently is, without the downside of building a potentially large debt if the senior manages to live a long time after retirement before finally needing to move.

That's exemptions and/or freezes. E.g., here in Washington if you are at least 61 and have a disposable income under 70% of your county median income they freeze the assessed value of your property and exempt you from part of the state-wide property tax. On a $400k assessed value home that would cut the taxes from $3400/year to $2200/year in my county. The 70% threshold is $65k.

There are more exemptions at 60% ($56k) and 50% ($46k) that remove more of the state-wide tax and also some of county and city taxes. For those below the 50% threshold in my county that would reduce the tax on a $400k assessed home to $900/year.

Washington does also have a tax deferral program, but that is aimed to low income in general rather than seniors. I think it is meant for cases where you have a temporary reduction of income but are expected to recover.
Disagree on both counts.

For the problem domain that Awk targets, its close to as good as it gets. Lot of the line reading, delimiting, chunking etc is already done for you. You the programmer dont have to deal with re-implementing that same old ceremony. You get straight to the point of writing the transformations that you want.

If you break out into Python for that, that's a bit like being at your best and formal self, your best table manners, the first time you are meeting your fiance's parents. Awk on the other hand is like being with you old childhood pal, partner in crime, from your old street where the need for such ceremonies do not exist.

With modern awks you can write extensions for them. Mawk is plenty fast too.

One thing that still grates though is that the 'split' function does not come with a corresponding 'join' and one has to iterate through the array explicitly to join.

I own a house in NYC. My mortgage payment is almost exactly $2000 a month, and that's with taxes and insurance already added to it. $3000/month for daycare is utterly insane.
The article states that the change is due later. I know someone who received a BRP just days ago and was told that the electronic visa system isn't yet available. So the BRP has always been and remains mandatory for travel, until these changes take effect.

What about this take: having a child is a responsibility. An expensive and serious one. Why should others pay for your choice?
>FWIW, I'm amused because I recognize your behavior as that of someone quite young. I acted similar ways 20 years ago and now I think it's just kind of funny to see in other people.

If you are actually amused then you're a bully. This statement here shows you like to bully people younger then you and laugh in there face. You enjoy angering people and triggering them. But I don't believe this statement. I think you're not being honest here.

I don't think you're actually amused now. But we both know it's clear your intent on overtly displaying that you feel amusement.

>If it wasn't for this arrogance I may have. But now I'm going to reply to every reply you make just to see how long you stick with it. I'm as curious as I am fascinated.

Arrogance? You left out the part where I thanked you for leaving. Now you want to stay and ignite the conflict even further? Does conflict "fascinate" you? I don't think it does. I think you're only pretending.

I think it's the dominance game at play. You want to play it till you win. The problem is, I'm not playing the game. You're just playing it with yourself.

>There is a key sentence in the reply to the other user that I put effort into (since they were friendly and humble unlike yourself) that addresses that nuance, and I encourage you to re-read it with an open mind and without hate/spite in your heart.

I don't hate you. But I do think your a malicious person. I think you're not moral nor a person I would trust ever with anything. But I don't hate you.

Im not sure what your implying here as the key sentence. Why don't you stop being vague ish and just spell it out so we can explicitly point by point examine every facet of our arguments.

>Looking forward to your next reply. Cheers.

Yeah. I'm not. But I will respond. Would appreciate it also in your reply if you just stick with your point and not have to overtly display how "amused" or how "fascinated" you are at this whole thing. I already know your intent here so doing that is just repetitive on your part, thank you.
Show HN: Pocket Alert – service for receiving notifications via API or Webhooks
Hey there, thrilled to share with you my first project that finally went live: Pocket Alert a service designed to receive push notifications that you can send through an API or webhooks.

And to that features a web interface for creating messages, looking up messages, configuration applications, webhooks, etc, along with mobile applications for iOS and Android.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this!
Methinks it’s a good enough method to somehow get good enough candidates. Hiring is hard because it’s a negotiation: sellers always upsell their skills and buyers gotta figure it out. Negotiation is skill that not everyone has so at least by having some sort of standard test like the current leetcode system, you can guarantee the dudes coming in know the difference between a Stack and Queue
‘He worked remote’ thought popped into my head. He wasn’t there to “grow into leadership role” with the rest of the early employees. I do agree with your read of the situation.

btw, that restaurant in Amsterdam is apparently the go to place for startups. I am certain I sat in one of those chairs (was this on 2nd floor facing the canal?) with another fabled startup.
Interestingly, something like this was proposed by a group of radical feminists in the 1970s [0].

You'd have to pay a lot of individuals to have babies and then become full-time parents. Not only is that expensive, it seems inefficient. Our society structures childrearing like that only because women used to have a lower status and had to perform unpaid labor and bear children whether they wanted to or not (edit: and then later, it was still unthinkable not to have children; only now has that sentiment been becoming less common).

It reminds me of how the American South had an economy that was inefficient because they relied on slavery. They wouldn't have been able to pay all those slaves the full value of their labor anyway, so after slavery ended, they had to find some other ways to get that labor (e.g. sharecropping) and also restructure their whole economy over the course of a hundred years to become more industrialized.

I predict that either we'll find some way to make people want to have babies and raise kids intrinsically again, or we'll restructure the whole economy to pay people for the labor of childrearing and bearing children, integrating it into the market-based economy somehow.

The crazy thing about it is that the author doesn't seem to understand why it's bad. He doesn't appear to be hiding it. He just says "yeah that's what I did, whoops, I forgot to say it in the paper". He's either decided that acting like a complete moron is better than being thought of as an an intentional fraud, or else he really does think it was totally above board.

Meta just beat Q4 estimates by 10%. Just because you're seeing more traffic to your site from the fediverse doesn't mean that traditional social media is dying.
I'm actually more enamored with the cool look of the thing rather than the fact that it can balance.
That's the one that recommends using "let" everywhere, which is actively discouraged by RSpec documentation, which specifically states there should be at most 2 or 3 lets (sparingly)

https://www.rubydoc.info/github/rspec/rspec-core/RSpec%2FCor...

And it suggests using let (instead of the better let!) which when chained makes the execution of the code incredibly unpredictable for a human.

I suggest sticking only to instance variables and before blocks, so that overriding lets is not a practice that appear in your system and also won't push you toward abstracting your tests too much in an effort to improve performance

> Birth rates are also down in European countries where having a child is not a significant financial burden.

I dont know about for whole EU, but I have friends in Germany / Spain and even people who are both working on some middle IT positions can hardly afford 2 bedroom appartment and a car after taxes. Situation is much worse in poorer countries like Poland or expensive one like Switzerland.

Also I lived in UK and have family there. It's not quite EU, but rich country nontheless. And a lot people struggle there just to pay their mortage because with high interest rates their repayments also spiked almost 2x.

Friends of mine are on high IT salaries that when average Joe with non-IT offline job making 30% less money. And job market is brutal there too - if you lose your job it's possible to find new one, but you'll land on lower salary.
I had a young coworker blow a fuse because of allowances given to parents not available to others. But I’m so old and have seen it so many times I just shrugged and told him to get used to it. It is what it is.

I can't speak for others but at least for me, I have an irrational desire for a family. I'm well aware of the costs, the setbacks to your career and other penalties but at the end of the day my attitude is: "I don't give a shit, I want a family"

For all you know he had a hard adjustment to the college workload. Maybe his high school was not serious and nobody really challenged him. You all could have interrogated why he may have struggled and shared your strategies for success, lifting him up rather than beating him down. That would make you true “brothers”.
Reproduction can be said to be incentivized in low-income groups as children can often participate in the tasks (typically manual labor) performed by the family. Meanwhile, in high-income groups, children take away resources that could be invested into the parents' career progression and wealth management.

Of course low-income groups also suffer from lack of access to contraception, so it's not as straightforward, but that is the birds' eye overview of how it typically works.
> Like, I really don't get it. Why not just use a password manager. I always tell these people to just sign up for a password manager and they always resist and say no. I must be missing something obvious.

Simple, I don’t trust a cloud service to keep the data secure, and I don’t trust myself to self host and keep the data safe (and not get corrupted) while simultaneously getting that data on all devices and synced.

The flaw of password managers is that you don’t know the passwords you’re using for your sites. That is, if the data was lost, you’d have to do an account recovery, which for some sites is fine, for others it can be a nightmare though.

Alongside this, it is a hard problem to have to simultaneously get all of these copied-pasted passwords on each device without inherently putting them on the Internet (albeit with a password in front of them). Given a threat model of password managers being inherently valuable targets, data going in and out of them is inherently vulnerable for when an exploit is inevitably found.

I’m not saying any of these problems makes mental hash algorithms or rotating passwords better, but password managers do have inherent flaws that make them still an unideal tool.

Also, I find it ironic in the modern day that a simple sticky note next to your computer is probably one of the better solutions to password management, if people invading your physical space isn’t part of your threat model (which is usually the case).
The future of our society depends on it? The same reason we have taxes for any common good, whether it applies to you individually or not.
Thanks; this may be one of the most weird conventions I've ever come across. Maybe that's a 'me' thing.
You and I lack the imagination to see how those APIs might be hindering revenues. Are you really willing to bet Google will not find a way in the future? I'm not. The need for revenue doesn't just stop. Eventually they'll return to squeeze water from these stones.
I agree, the lower working class always have a lot of kids. I think it's the trend where young people think kids are just going to prevent them from all these grand accomplishments they think are right around the corner. Ironic, that the handful of people i know who have a stable relationship but chose to not have kids for these reasons are still doing the same job and watching the same tv they were when they were 20 yet, now in their 40s, still talk about the company they're going to create or, in one case, the ground breaking art they're going to produce.
Nobody else should have to pay for the choice.

But there is no reason for the cost of childcare to go up and up. Literally just enable better pregnancy/parenthood laws and create an abundance of childcare centers so that costs can go lower.
I haven't reviewed the code for this -- but I like this idea a lot!

I would love to see a future piece of software, one that could use any number of USB KVM's like this software does -- but could also serve as the main GUI for any number of local VM's and/or remote VM's -- connected over USB or Ethernet or software-controllable "smart" hardware KVM switch or some other intermediary layer.

In other words, abstract:

a) VM GUI;

b) Connection medium to that VM (USB, Ethernet, Smart Hardware KVM Switch, Firewire, ?, ???)

c) How/where the a given VM GUI is displayed on the local monitoring computer, i.e., be able to shrink screen, display on a multi-row, multi-column display (like a Zoom meeting!), group various related VM GUI's, have a local directory and search for VM (for example, if I've got a software development environment of various x86 Windows VM's and various ARM Android VM's -- then I might want to group by CPU or Operating System or software stack version, etc., etc.)

Now, probably all of this software infrastructure exists in one form or another.

For example, in QEMU, local or remote VM's can be created and then they can be connected to via TCP/IP...

But, to centrally manage all of those QEMU VM's and non-QEMU ones as well, as well as regular PC's running any OS on "bare metal" over any connection medium (a heterogenous network of computing machines) -- that would be the goal of this software!

VNC, or something like it, could be used on the client-side of bare-metal PC's, but wouldn't be necessary for VM's...

Anyway, KVM over USB (the original article), is a great idea!
My colleague went out on maternity leave and never came back, because it just didn't make financial sense to hire daycare when her husband could support the whole family without her income. She's also happier than she's ever been in her life and loves her baby far more than she ever cared about her job.
I thought it was time I got off my... and starting making an AI (https://github.com/michalc/SupplyChainLabAI - but it does nothing but log a debug message repeatedly at this point, I feel I have a long journey...)

But it makes me realise there is another use case for OpenTTDLab that I don't think I considered: regression tests for OpenTTD AIs?

Edit: And it has been mentioned to me separately that maybe it could be used as part of regression tests of OpenTTD itself https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/discussions/11863#discuss...
Not sure, but: median certificate (so each CRL has a multiplicity of however many certificates would use it, or perhaps of how many times it is actively retrieved) vs median CRL size (each CRL listed once)

Or they meant mean for the first one, I guess.

Edit: it's the former, from the paper:

> We immediately observe that
half of all CRLs are under 900 B. However, this statistic is
deceiving: if you select a certificate at random from the Leaf Set, it is unlikely to point to a tiny CRL, since the tiny CRLs
cover very few certificates.
> Right. So that's my point. Css is logical.

Well, yes and no. It depends on context. You know, nuance.

Like I said, it can be technically logical, but that doesn't mean it is logical in the colloquial sense.

The point made in the article is to refuse a claim that CSS is not logical in the colloquial sense, it is not trying to refute that it is technically logical which is the point you are making.

> If the endgame of passwords is for everyone to use password managers for their passwords, and never to actually learn their passwords, then why bother with passwords at all?

I have a feeling you already know there's a conservative movement to roll back access to contraception (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby?), but if you needed any further proof, mainstream far-right conservative Clarence Thomas explicitly wrote in the Dobbs opinion:

"In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote in concurrence. “Because any substantive due process decision is 'demonstrably erroneous,' we have a duty to 'correct the error' established in those precedents"'

and many sibling posts have cover the current legislative initiatives to restrict birth control.

So yes, the far-right does want to roll back access to birth control, the right to marriage equality, the right to privacy between consenting adults. The American far-right wants a big brother government enforcing their personal morality on the whole country, right into our bedrooms and bathrooms.
This is the most frustrating part. I have so many team members who drag their feet on tons of projects and blame it on their parental obligations with seemingly endless levels of understanding from everyone, but if I were to say "I am really burnt out and want to take the day off to go skiing" once in a while, I become the team pariah.
It should work fine with multi-line logs.

Its relatively easy to add new formats in code, but there isn't yet a way of configuring that. In the future I might add a config file to make that easy.
Really wish this existed in the Netherlands when I was growing up!
We had a randomly rotating admin position for security theater and network admin to keep things separate. Legally you can save passwords on the most secure network and realistically only remember one password. You have to memorize a lot of passwords otherwise. No phones.

The NSA password reset questionnaire is hilariously a great life memory quiz.

Almost everyone needs to reset some passwords daily even though we had the phone number keypads with special characters around. How to remember passwords was a routine conversation because certain systems had admin passwords to remember or passwords that would change at odd intervals or single account multiple user passwords.

It came down to “how long after a password reset do you actually need to change the password? Does it check for past passwords?” There were passwords written down in not so secret places because the admin would not always be at work.

Eventually we had to adopt token authorization which is a mess to implement also. I loved the security meetings only to discuss how screwed we were once they started enforcing policies.
Because raising children is essential to the survival of human society.

If we're going to be brutually economic about it: Are you invested in stocks or bonds at all? If our population collapsed, so would those. Today's investors' wealth is tied to the success of future generations.

Damn near every hobby imaginable will have externalities. Asking as gently as I can: Maybe this isn't a battle to pick?

Tangentally, some clever children, when told to "Think of the starving kids in Africa. Finish your plate" will retort with "Then give me a stamp". Someone who's hobby is improving their squat or deadlift, and picking up lots of chicken at the store, is not (intuitively to me, at least) taking food off the plate of someone with less - especially those >3 timezones away. That's a distribution problem, not a lack-of-food-worldwide problem
In the US child-to-teacher ratios have maximum limits usually set and enforced at the State or municipal level. This ratio also varies by age level with lower child to teacher ratios for infants than for toddlers.

In Georgia the ratio is 6:1 for infants. However there is a national daycare certification group NAEYC which has stricter ratios. The daycare where my kids went was NAEYC certified and the ratio was 4:1 for infants.
I'm 38 and have had the opposite experience. Of all the friends I remember saying they wouldn't have kids, I don't think any of them changed their tune. I do have friends who used to say they wanted kids, but probably never will.
> Why should others pay for your choice?

Procreation is a choice on an individual level but on a societal level it is not a choice at all, it is absolutely mandatory. So, someone's got to do it, and if you're not going to do it, then it's not unreasonable for you to contribute to others who are doing it.

Furthermore, if you benefit from future workers in any way in the future without having kids of your own, if you did not help pay for those kids then you're effectively benefiting from something you didn't do shit for: namely raising those kids who became workers who ended up paying for your pension, keeping the lights on, keeping your ETFs growing, paying for your healthcare, etc., etc... So you should pay, or you should have kids.
