> But a more comprehensive approach including requiring multi-year lease options, 12-month or greater rent increase notice requirements, and rent increase caps that prevent catastrophic rent hikes but still allow units to align with market rates over longer timeframes.

If you require landlords to give 12 months notice of rent increase and cap the year-over-year increase, the outcome is entirely predictable:

Every 12 months, tenants will receive a notice of pending rent increase, and that rent increase will be the maximum allowed by law.

This game has already been tried before. Once you start tying people's hands, the optimal strategy is to become as aggressive with rent increases as the law will allow. The only time you back off is if you have a vacancy you can't fill, but that's unlikely because once a city starts controlling rents heavily (even with your proposed laws) it discourages more construction.

There's basically no difference between strict rent control and a rent control that limits rent increases to X% per year with 12-month notice period. They're the same thing because once you cap something, people feel compelled to chase the cap for fear of getting left behind.

The car I bought last week is a Toyota. Upon getting home I immediately followed the instructions on the sticker near the center console to hit the "SOS" button and request deactivation of their telematics services. The rep on the phone mentioned something about how she needed to create an account for me or something before she was able to process the opt-out and then, I guess, did so.

Of course I have no idea what this opt-out does. The skeptical part of me suspects that the system still collects and transmits my location and such, but then they simply don't trivially attach that telemetry to my account.

I'm also going to try pulling the DCM fuse that's supposed to cut the cut the gateway/telematics antenna. I also plan to wrap the transmitter in a Faraday cage.
You could start with a simple experiment using DeepSpeech[1] as an automatic transcription tool (I assume these recordings are non-public, so you'd prefer a local service instead of a cloud solution, which detection rate would probably be better).

After having the text auto-transcribed into a simple txt file, I would check the quality and do some manual corrections, where required.

Then import the transcribed text into the audio file metadata (e.g. Lyrics, Description or Comment, depending on your metadata format).

The relevant fields I would look at are:

Description
LongDescription
Comment
Lyrics
Group
Title
Album
Composer

Depending on the length of the recording you could also add chapters. Here is a nice audio book guide with some further ideas: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide?tab=readme-ov...

Now you should have access to the metadata via audio player - maybe even a search would be supported.

I've worked on several k8s clusters professionally but only a few that used a service mesh, Istio mainly. I'll give you the promise first, then the reality.

The promise is that all of the inter-app communication channels are fully instrumented for you. Four things mainly 1) mTLS between the pods 2) Network resilience machinery (rate limiting, timeouts, retries, circuit breakers). 3) Fine grained traffic routing/splitting/shifting. And 4) telemetry with a huge ecosystem of integrated visualization apps.

Arguably, in any reasonably large application, you're going to need all of these eventually. The core idea behind the service mesh is that you don't need to implement any of this yourself. And you certainly don't want to duplicate all of this in each of your dozens of microservices! The service mesh can do all the non-differentiated work. Your services can focus on their core competency. Nice story, right?

In reality, it's a little different. Istio is a resource hog (I've evaluated Linkerd which is slightly less heavy weight but still). Rule of thumb: For every node with 8 CPUs, expect your service mesh to consume at least a CPU. If you're using smaller nodes on smaller clusters, the overhead is absurd. After setting up your k8s cluster + service mesh, you might not have room for your app.

Second, as you mention, k8s has evolved. And much of this can be done, or even done better, in k8s directly. Or by using a thinner proxy layer to only do a handful of service-mesh-like tasks.

Third, do you really need all that? Like I said, eventually you probably do if you get huge. But a service mesh seems like buying a gigantic family bus just in case you happen to have a few dozen kids.
I think the Christian idea of hell also come out of the Jewish Gehenna, which it sounds like was the name of an actual valley near Jerusalem which was associated with a (condemned in Judaism) practice of child sacrifice via fire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehenna

Etheopia had one of the earliest Christian communities (that early on split from what became the larger group of Christians) so I could easily imagine Dallol being inspiration for the book of Revelation and/or otherwise influential in forming the Christian idea of hell.
What place has potatoes more expensive than tomatoes?

Outside of Asia, which is more rice-based than potato-based, potatoes have a hard-earned centuries-old reputation of food for poor people (cheap to farm, not much nutritional value). But even after checking the prices in Japan, tomatoes are several times more expensive.

Maybe you’re not looking at the price per kilogram, but price of package for packaged vegetables?

> Why doesn't an AI startup just disrupt the insurance industry?

Also insurance requires that the insurer discriminate a good driver from a poor driver. However they should not discriminate against a protected status.

Good luck setting up a system that can only discriminate using some signals and not others.

It is a good mental exercise trying to think of ways to set up a startup that can discriminate without being obvious about it.

Giving multi-month notice that rent is going up means that the tenant has X months to shop around.

If the increase is too high, the tenant can push back by moving, or negotiating.

This only works, of course, if you actually have a supply of vacant housing. If there's a housing shortage, no amount of notice is going to fix the rental situation.

> some pricing discretion

That's the key. The problem is the agreement; that results in price fixing. Even if someone is allowed "some pricing discretion"(ie maybe they can deviate 8%) it can still be illegal.

Maintaining full pricing discretion is what referencing KBB on your own and making a determination outside a pricing agreement would be; not illegal.

From what I can tell. Not legal advice.
Also the FoV is narrower on the AVP than the Quest. Granted, all current headsets suck at this, as in it's less AR/VR and more like looking through a pair of binoculars which absolutely sucks for immersion, but it's crazy the AVP has a worse Fov than a Quest that's 7 times cheaper.

Only Apple can get people to pay 3.5K to be beta testers of a devkit/prototype.

> The AVP image is much worse than a cheap monitor displaying high-resolution, high-contrast content. Effectively, what the AVP supports is multiple low angular resolution monitors.

Waiting for the early adopters and apologists to say again how the AVP is so magic and revolutionary it's gonna replace their 5k monitors for daily work. Maybe that "daily work" they were talking about is reading emails for 15 minutes/day and watching a 30 minute episode on Netflix on the couch after wich the headset gathers dust.
>The main problem with this is that half of the infections are asymptomatic.

I've heard it said that current COVID-19 vaccines are counterproductive, because they only reduce symptoms as opposed to increasing one's chances of catching the disease, or reducing one's infectivity. Someone who has been vaccinated and infected is more likely to go to work or school and thus more likely to spread the disease.
A big problem at the lower end is that insurance companies don't value cars based on their utility. I have a well maintained older car that is reliable and I trust the work that has been done, but it would be valued at around $2k by insurance. In order to buy a car with similar reliability would be closer to $5k. If someone else hits my car, it will be probably totaled at current repair prices and so I will have lost ~$3k.

There aren't 1000000 major social media sites. Sites with fifty users in total are irrelevant and can't be used for the same purpose, and for the same reason most people can't feasibly start their own.

This is also not true. You can generally choose between the "cable company" and the "phone company" in addition to satellite providers like Starlink and various cellular networks. You have about as much choice in ISPs as you have in social media sites, and in both cases it's not much.
No, it's not just my opinion, it's how HN works, you can find lots of moderator comments about it. The thing in the FAQ about reposts is someone posting the same thing over and over. Different people posting the same story is perfectly normal, there can't possibly be a rule against that that would make sense. Lots of stories have many more than three reposts, big, popular stories can have dozens. They don't really matter until something catches and gets a thread.

i think the great appeal of forth is that it's a great repl for interacting with hardware and assembly code. c kind of sucks at this even though c is a better language for programming as such

it's the minimal amount of extra stuff you need to add on top of assembly language to give you recursive subroutines with parameters; structured control flow constructs like if-then-else (ahem, if-else-then), for-next (uh, do loop), and while; user-defined data types; closures (does>); turing-complete compile-time metaprogramming; embedded domain-specific languages; multitasking; and paged virtual memory. all this costs you about 4k of ram and (usually) a 5× slowdown compared to assembly. nowadays some of those are commonly provided by hardware, but forth has them even on hardware and operating systems that don't

in forth you can very easily invoke your assembly code interactively, look at the results, hex-dump parts of memory, script your assembly code, script your hex dumping, script your scripts, and so on. and it makes a fantastic macro assembler if you can get used to the syntax. the built-in repl gives you a built-in user interface, and it also serves as a sort of interactive debugger; you can't step through your code line by line, but you can invoke it word by word, which is pretty close to the same thing

I understand the general economics behind it, but I don’t think you can free market the problem away when the market is very obviously not free. Just off the top of my head - incentives for over complicating the zoning laws in big cities, extreme push from the locals to stop the new constructions, owners not wanting their investments to go down.

I live in a rental building in Vancouver, and without rent control it would be awful for everyone, as the demand has been insane in the past decade. Sure, for people like us who can pay 2x the rent wouldn’t exactly be a problem, but I have friends, and a lot of elderly in my neighbourhood who would have to move out right away. I can’t imagine a possible way for supply to catch up with the actual demand just because how the municipal governments function. And well, construction business isn’t known to be efficient here in North America.

Hmmm.... if I understand your post correctly, it seems like you think the geometric product should be canceled ("cancel" as in cancel culture). And it should be canceled because it's really weird to be adding a scalar to a vector.

Let me try to emphasize your case as much as possible: The geometric product of two vectors, a and b is;

a * b = a . b + a ^ b

I.e. an "inner' or "interior" product, plus an "outer" or "exterior" product. What kind of self-respecting multiplication consists of a sum of two other kinds of multiplications? And why the heck would you even want to add them?

Do I have you correct?

As a point of departure, let me quote you here:

// The general geometric product between two mixed-grade multivectors follows by writing them all out as sums of products of vectors like the above, then cancelling everything out according to xx=1 and xy=−yx for all choices of x=y //

Yup. But you do need quantities who have a multiplication table like x and y above, in order to develop the exterior product. And you say you like the exterior product. So, the existence of quantities which multiply like xx=1 and xy=-yx isn't objectionable to you, per se, right?

But, as you also say above, the geometric product is just polynomial multiplication with expressions using quantities like x and y with those multiplication tables.

E.g., suppose we are multiplying a and b, which are 2D vectors expressed in the basis of x and y:

(ax * x + ay * y) * (bx * x + by * y) =

(ax*bx)*(x*x) + (ax*by)*(x*y) + (ay*bx)*(y*x) + (ay*by)*(y*y) =

(ax*bx + ay*by) + (ax*by-bx*ay)*xy = (a . b) + (a ^ b)

So the reason why it's not weird that the geometric product is the sum of two other products, is that polynomial multiplication is not weird.

And that's the same reason why it's legit to add a scalar to a bivector: because polynomial multiplication is legit.

When you are multiplying out 2d vectors, the number of terms is reasonable, but 3d and 4d vectors it starts to get to be very tedious to do by hand. The solution? Well, we use (a . b) as a shorthand for some of the terms, and (a^b) as a short hand for the rest of the terms.

Basically, it's just naming/bundling together terms from a polynomial multiplication in order to treat them as a single entity, instead of a bunch of entities. Its conceptually more tractable that way, and its way easier on your hand when you are writing them out manually.

It's really not as bizarre as it looks. I really wish that this view of geometric algebra were front and center in presentations of it. It does seem really weird to come upon a*b = a.b + a^b cold, without knowing what the heck a wedge product is and why we have two different kinds of products added together.

Hope that helps, sorry if I didn't really get your objections or address all your points.

ROWE would essentially encode a normal software job into a mix of goals and expectations. E.g. if you're expected to average some fraction of the team's point velocity over the year, that's written down. If you're expected to jump from a finished ticket to the next, or alternate reviewing and starting new work, that's written down. (A ROWE job description can totally be written to keep you stuck at work if it has availability or response time expectations.)

If you work at a smart company, your manager doesn't spell out much of your job, and ROWE can encapsulate that if you and your manager have a shared understanding of what an effective month/quarter/year looks like. If you're that kind of senior engineer, the exercise should prompt some good discussion about reducing the number of hours you spend on more measurable, less effective tasks.

The goal is to create something that both you and your manager buy into, so they feel good if that's 'all' you do and you feel it's doable to review the list and feel good about it before the end of a typical workweek.

As you might be able to tell, it's not easy to come up with a list that achieves this. Most managers will be too timid, or won't understand themselves well enough, to put the real full expectations of a job on paper.

However, a 'certified ROWE' workplace undergoes coaching so they have a better chance of success, similarly to how some organizations do for OKRs if they want to use them as intended and not as fantasy aspirations.

In practice, if you have a boss that hates ROWE, you're going to have a tough time convincing them that you've met your objectives enough to step away from work for a bit, no differently than how any other flexible work arrangement stops being flexible the moment your boss stops trusting you.

(I'm close to a ROWE-certified organization that has been successful with it for about 15 years.)
