Several issues with your analogy:

1. The accountant will tell you that pricing up front, so you can make a decision before you send an email. No doctor in America will answer any question about pricing ahead of time.

2. The vast majority of Americans know precisely when they need to pay taxes and roughly how much work they will be, how many accounts they're dealing with, what types of questions might arise, etc. It is extremely rare for most people to ever have an urgent question for an accountant. Healthcare on the other hand is inherently unpredictable, and urgent questions are very common.

3. Most people don't have, and never will have, an accountant. Every single living human of any age needs at least one doctor, and often quite a few.

4. If you don't like your accountant's pricing, you can easily shop around for a different one. You can't do that with a doctor (see point 1). You can sort of do it with insurance, but that isn't the same thing, can only be done once a year, and the options are very limited for most people.

5. If you don't like dealing with an accountant at all, you can just get a normal job and never talk to one again. It's entirely within your control. If you don't like dealing with doctors, you're out of luck unless you want to die.
> …you will also accrue personal and professional benefits from not being fat.

As an overweight person, I don't think it's controversial. You'll also accrue personal and professional benefits from being a tall man and/or good-looking.

However, "fat people have no self-control" is still fatphobia and ignores the interplay of genetic, metabolic, physiological, cultural, socio-economic, and environmental factors that contribute to obesity. There are countless fat people who are incredibly smart and hard-working, and have exquisite discipline in most areas of their life.
> And there were over 350+ AirBNB units in the town

Or about 4.6%? Right? Sounds reasonably OK for a resort town.
The demand is absolutely real. People are actually buying these properties. The prices are subsidized by government policy. Instead of fixing the supply side of the equation, Canada has decided to give away money so cheaply that normal people can afford the obscene prices for real estate. Interestingly, increasing the number of people that can afford a house without changing the supply makes prices go up. Who knew?!

It’s a false excuse. Plenty of countries that also don’t let poor people die because they cannot afford going to the hospital also spend much, much less per capita. Actually, all of them do, and by far. The US really are an anomaly.

Sorry for your friend, but this is what you call anecdotal evidence.
Many people seem to struggle with the difference between absolute and proportional values.

Something similar in my country (Nigeria). Many people keep pointing out that Lagos, our most crowded and number one commercial city, has an annual budget of roughly $1 billion, meaning there should be world-class infrastructure.

Until I point out that $1 billion is roughly $50 annually per person. Even accounting for labor and cost of living differences, you need at least 20x that before you start expecting world-class infrastructure.

Sure, labor is cheaper, but power plants, buses, and trains are mostly imported and cost a damn lot. No way you’re getting first-world infrastructure with third-world budget and taxes.
This article mentions a study that found almost no correlation between people who self-report having high self-control, and people who actually do well on tests measuring self-control:

https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/1/15/16863374/wi...

The most likely explanation is that people who report high self-control are really experiencing less temptation.
I have about a dozen VMs running on a couple of large-ish servers (16 cores, 128 gigs RAM, 8 TB storage) Many of these are small, experimental environments (8 gigs RAM max, few hundred gigs storage) Running all those on metal would be expensive and annoying.
Please remove this cruel comment.
I think you're unto something. Totally anecdotal, but my father owns around ~10 houses and small apartment buildings in Canada. I think he managed to acquire them all through mortgage refinancing or something like that I really have no idea. He rents the properties to people.

Even though he's a hard worker, he has a normal 9-5 job and his income is pretty standard for a salaried worker. Knowing him, I'm sure he didn't come up with the idea himself, so I bet this is a relatively common thing to do for mid to high income baby-boomers.

I could be totally off base here, but I can see that if most people have the leverage to own 10 houses in Canada through some financial instruments with the banks this could lead to a housing bubble.
Is this part of the reason those online pharmacy platforms (which include a doctor who will do a very quick exam/diagnosis) took off in recent years? I mostly heard about them with regard to ADHD meds but wonder if they are also useful because they don't require you to have checkups all the time for maintenance medication.
CMake supports globs. It just has notes in the reference docs about why that can lead to slower build times or even incorrect builds (like undetected new files) in some cases.
That's a reasonable idea. I wonder how units that are operating as AirBNB rentals would or could be accounted for under that policy, though.
I don't believe there exists a possible free market for health insurance, just like with flood insurance or earthquake insurance. Adverse selection kills it.

Even if there were no insurance, I don't believe there exists a possible free market for expensive emergency medical procedures either.
Maybe capitalizable markets aren't the best tool for products that are required for life?

I appreciate that we have a tool like capitalizable markets, but the lack of alternatives is a red flag - every problem is a nail. An underappreciated aspect this is the legal machinery that undergirds the capitalization of housing, and as such is codified. Things that are codified are subject to change.
The drought has hit Spain's olive orchards quite hard and people are desperate for olive oil.
Sounds like someone didn't read the article. The actual story of the Luddites is super interesting, and they were fairly successful at staving off automation of their professions, until the state violently intervened - including executing some of the organizers.

Slaughtering a bunch of dancers at a festival seems congruent with terrorism to me.

Your argument seems to be: it's okay to do terrorist things if someone makes you. But that's still terrorism.
I wish they would just staff adequately!

I'll take off my shoes, get scanned, listen to contradictory instructions, suffer "random" pat downs, whatever. Just have enough agents checking IDs and keeping scanning lines open so that the queue doesn't get to be 45mins long!
Yeah, it seems like it. It's nice to have a way to share your prompts + logic without asking others to compile and build your app.
Ok, there are more and more short term rentals, but in these short term rentals are people: tourists, workers, etc... Where were they before AirBnB?

Hotels would be the obvious answer, but as far as I know, hotels didn't suffer a massive drop in the number of occupants to match the increase in the number of short term rentals. So, what caused the increase demand in housing for short stays?
We can stop dancing around the issue while pretending we don't understand why the TSA exists.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the government has to be seen doing "something". This was the something.

Then, in the following years, the TSA evolved into a welfare program for veterans, because here in the US we can't dream of just giving people money, we have to invent bullshit jobs that make society worse.
I'm always a little amused when someone who's presumably American gets upset about the concept of extraterritorial laws. The US gets to decide who every other country in the world is allowed to do business with (and they're dead serious about enforcing it, including arresting sanction breakers outside US soil), but other countries having laws that US companies must abide by? The audacity!
I think not only zero, but zero cumulatively for the last 30 years. I can't think of a single example of a terrorist attack foiled at airport security.
High-level ideals are all fun, but this ignores the facts on the ground that people are getting evicted right now for no other reason than short-term rentals (that is: AirBnB).

So even if what you say is correct – I don't know enough about the situation in Canada to judge that – then that doesn't really matter because it's pretty clear short-term rentals such as AirBnB add a lot of extra pressure, with all sorts of effects as described in the article.

Not only stupid; actively harmful. Luddites are selfish and short-sighted.

Imagine if we'd listened to John Henry back in the 1800s - we'd still be wasting our time digging ditches by hand. We'd never be able to build the wonders of the modern world, and we'd all be worse off as a result.
> I don't think there was any lasting change that directly effected my day-to-day life.

True, but only because you misspelled "affected" ;)
This is just so weird to watch. Apple is literally throwing a tantrum on a continent-wide stage. Like, it's one attempt at escalation after another, and they keep losing (either their legal fights, or their nerve) and having to reverse course.

Like, there's no strategy at all here? Just keep swinging and hope you land a blow that breaks through the armor? This is how my 15 year old plays VR games.
CMake can detect when new source files are added and rerun itself. You need to know how to spell that option when globbing though.
The socialism / capitalism argument is a way entrenched interests rile-up the public and stop productive conversation.
> which database is more common.

SQLite is #1 by far, with MySQL a distant second.
Totally, seeing that heavily for sites like G2, Capterra and others. Have been trying to build something more meaningful (going more deep on information) although it's just taking years to build out. It's definitely a grind, but it stems from just loving software: https://efficient.app + https://stacks.efficient.app
Totally agree, but imo airbnb is an accelerator making the profit out of housing investment more lucrative, increasing short term profit margins (instead of let's say owning buildings and maintaining them for long term renters producing gradual but steady profit). It has also accelerated the concentration of real estate to fewer companies. The problem is that now the market is like this, even if airbnb just disappeared.
I am honestly kind of anti-rack at this point.

"Deals" on used enterprise are IME dreadful unless you can get in on your own employer offloading old stuff, which requires you to a) even have an onprem setup at all and b) be friendly enough with the IT/NOC people that they give you a tip when it's going to happen. (For me b seems to happen naturally so it's really all on a).

eBay is a fools game, terrible prices. Craigslist is usually the same sellers too. Maybe some people live behind an Amazon datacenter or something, I unfortunately live in a city where the only reason we have Amazon 2-day shipping is because we're a major shipping hub. And anything that does resemble a good deal is ancient Opterons that are literally e-waste these days.

So anyway, sorry, my whole point here is that most people are actually going to be running a ton of old enterprise stuff that is actually rackmountable with good sliding rails. You're either building whiteboxes in a 4U rosewill case or you're putting stuff on rack-mountable shelves. The rosewill cases theoretically have sliding rails but they're awful, just awful. So you're either using shelf rails or literal shelves which tends to throw off efficient utilization of the U's available in the rack - shelf rails usually result in a dead U either above or below them, and shelves obviously have similar effects.

So yeah. As someone who owns a rack (4-post open rack), if you asked me, I'd say just go buy one of those big heavy duty Lowe's shelf units and ask for extra shelf inserts so you can have more, but less-tall shelves. Boom, you now have something that'll hold anything and is way better than fucking around with rack nuts and shelf rails and stuff.

Love homelabs in general, though.
Because stopping someone from renting out their house to make some extra cash is overreach. Stopping firms from buying up tons of houses with the explicit purpose of airbnb on the other hand? More reasonable.
less monoculture how??

today you have two competing phone OS, that is not a monoculture.

If Apple leave EU then there will be only Android.. It will be a monoculture then..

Also you do not increase competition by having less people competing.
I was a little bit older, and I do remember the hostility we had towards them (I was studying French at the time). But yeah, it was more like the way you'd boo the opposing sports team, not like we are at risk at war with them or anything...
>fatphobia

First of all, I really find this term to be gross. You should be afraid of being unhealthy.

Second of all, are you posting that you have individual metabolic differences that substantially alter your caloric expenditure?

FYI most studies show very little innate caloric expenditure differences between human beings outside of what can be predicted based on their body mass. Ironically, heavier people burn more calories, not less, innately.

This makes sense because metabolic machinery is complex and so fundamental to life that it would obviously be very tightly tuned genetically.
The question is how many have they ever caught. Restricting it to a single day is way too ambitious.

The answer is they are not telling you. They are not telling if it's zero either.
Is this much of a problem if you just assume the mentality of having to run cmake every time you pull code?
Yeah, that's the joke. But I mean, you have to admit the status quo isn't that good. Something really very much better might be able to claw its way to the top.
This is a personal experience of mine:

I was a resident advisor (RA) in college. I had the displeasure of dealing with 2 residents that had taken 4 doses of LSD each. It was not a pleasant experience for them, for me, or anyone that had to deal with the incident. These 2 young women (girls, really) happened to also be friends of mine. I stumbled across them coming back into the dorms.

At first, it was "fine". They were kind of goofy, kind of chill, just wanted me to get them back to their room and put a movie on for them. No problem; I can handle that.

Very quickly, though, things turned. I never did figure out if there was a trigger, but one of the two turned extremely violent in a hurry. As in, trying to grab scissors and stab her best friend to death kind of violent. It was rapidly apparent that no, I cannot handle this. I followed my training: called campus security, identified myself, informed them I was an RA, and told them I had 2 girls that had taken 4 hits of acid a piece, and that they needed medical attention ASAP. They thought it was a prank call. I lost it. Told them I was going to hang up and call 911 myself, then come back after for their job.

Well, wasn't long after that before first responders arrived. And I mean they sent everyone. It was really overkill. I don't event know how many cops showed, it was a lot, but campus was directly across the street from the city's police HQ. Think there were 3 fire engines and a couple of ambulances.

The girls went to the ER, had their stomachs pumped and were force-fed activated charcoal. I had to be checked out by the EMTs, as well, because I got bit by the one that turned violent (I had her pinned between my back and a wall so I could free my hands to use the phone to make the necessary calls. I got bit on the back of my head, of all places).

So, no, I wouldn't call it safe, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, either. But, of course, that's just one experience by proxy.
By purchase parity, 1 dollar is about 23 rupees while exchange rate is around 80. So roughly 4x multiplier is needed to .

In purchase parity, it's 27 billions dollar vs 200-300 billion of California. Still 10x less.

AirBnB peaked at about 0.025% of all apartment units in Montreal in 2018.
AirBnB can not therefore have any measurable effect.
This is cool and an awesome tech demo and probably a great recruting technique, but...

Is it actually practically/meaningfully more "Secure" than the standard PseudoRandom approaches that everyone relies on today?

Short of "Nation States sharing secrets of alien technology", is this actually significant to any customer's practical applications?

Maybe it's a Nordic thing, but I (like many others) buy strawberries and raspberries straight from a nearby farm during the (short) summer season. Freeze enough of the berries and they last until the next summer.

Blueberries, same thing, but they are free from the forest.

Of course, strawberries won't be whole and firm once they are frozen with some sugar, but the taste of summer is there.
I rented vacation houses/apartments/etc well before airbnb -- indeed I've never used airbnb. My parents did the same thing in the 1980s, we got catalogues through.
I don't understand the hate for TSA. Sure, it can be better. But does anyone dare board a plane when none of the passengers have been screened?
It's the same "illusory superiority" cognitive bias as the Dunning-Kruger effect. The least competent will overestimate their self-control, and the most competent will underestimate it.
Looks like related events. An orange fireball at 19:00 in NE Bangkok and then a green fireball in SE Bangkok at 21:00. Fireball reporting's a cool one I had not seen before.

I'll add https://www.keeptrack.space/app/ to the list of suggestions. Although it may be more intimidating than helpful.

Neat site though, has 3D globe height tracking and in the upper right you can filter with the layer menu for "rocket bodies" and "debris". Very few sites I've found that can filter for debris objects. Be careful if your GPU is low-end though, it can be a resource hog.

Also, satellite.js and https://github.com/shashwatak/satellite-js/wiki/Sites-using-... which is where I found KeepTrack
We are slowly getting there in the country I live in: they are enacting laws to tax empty rentals and hiring people to check utilities usage and physically mapping empty floors from the street.
I didn't say replicate the study, I said test if the material is a superconductor, which isn't nearly as difficult.
That was the right move from the state - especially since the luddites started the violence.

Automation has made our lives so much easier and the common man so much wealthier. Imagine if we were still weaving our clothes by hand because master weavers in the 1800s were scared of losing their jobs.
I wonder if they're tastier than the average MRE? Sure, you can always make better food with some effort, but next to Costco chicken bakes, Ikea meatballs probably have one of the world's highest convenience-to-deliciousness ratios.

As a kid, I used to loooooove spending the day at Ikea, bouncing around all the beds and hiding in the fake rooms, but mostly just because we'd end up at the food court at the end... mmmm.
> Academia is first and foremost a network and a means to gatekeeping

Yes, exactly. The gatekeeping and networking are facilitated by it being absurdly expensive hobby. Nobody wants to network with some random nobody from the slums. They want to connect with people who come from wealth. The bloat works to keep the risk high, pushing away those who aren't in the right class.
There's a detterence factor in play. Terrorists won't try to get through precisely because of the intense security.

Yes, I'm not a fan of the RabbitMQ dependency either - see here for the reasoning: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643940.

It would take some work to replace this with listen/notify in Postgres, less work to replace this with an in-memory component, but we can't provide the same guarantees in that case.
>That might not be an option. Some financial systems still use older style null terminals in places.

But how many of those setups require a custom TERM and are unable to install a different package for reset.

>Given you're strongly against having to install a version of `reset` that doesn't have the delay, you're hardly in a position to demand other people to install a version that does.

The amount of people who need that delay is miniscule compared to the people who don't. Normal users don't need the delay, only exotic setups, which is why the default does not make sense.

>That's not really practical on most systems because `reset` is just a symlink to `tset`

Then stop doing that.

>That's about as unhelpful a suggestion as it comes.

Not really. It has practical benefits and avoids down time of having to get it repaired or replaced.

>Plus waiting a couple of seconds for a command line terminal to clear when using one specific command has absolutely naff all to do with "the year of desktop Linux".

His comment was about your attitude of tailoring the system to a niche group instead of tailoring it to the billions of potential desktop users out there.

Wouldn't a more sustainable solution other than banning Airbnb involve coming up with regulations that prevent empire-building?

The problem is not the hosts on Airbnb that are listing spare bedrooms or their vacation homes. It's corporations and ambitious individuals that are depleting the supply.
