You’ve clearly never interacted with a regulator before. When a regulator send you a letter with difficult questions, there is an extremely strong implication that a failure to answer those questions correctly will lead to more difficult questions, and, undoubtedly, official investigations.

You don’t want an official investigation, they are a complete nightmare that eat up months of work hours. Much better to spend a couple of days making sure you can give the correct answers on the first pass. Unless of course you genuinely believe the regulators are pushing beyond their remit, but know you’re voluntary signing up for an expensive and protracted fight.

If tomorrow everyone switches to your proposed vegan diet, where does all the saved power, water and land go towards?

growing cattle keeps the land from turning into concrete. If you actually want to conserve land you want to use as much already deforested as possible for growing crops and then never deforest new land. Slowly you should work onto getting conservation NGOs to integrate it into government protected land.

Seems to me like a fools errand to optimize land use. The optimal use in the Americas for example was likely already there 14,000 years ago before humans arrived in Americas. We obviously can't go back, but we can improve land, but optimal ....

I suppose it's possible to do a lot of taking over and displacing without actually being conscious.

Think back to the last time you got frustrated with a computer system that wouldn't do the right thing as you see it, but there was nobody to actually complain to. Now imagine that same wretched program has control over your biosphere or somehow controls your off switch.
I didn't care about racks either, but I got a 6u desktop rack and mounted a couple of things in it and turns out I love it.

- shelf with two mini systems
- power strip with individual switches
- power strip always-on outlets front/back
- ethernet switch
- "broom" thing to feed cables through
- many-port USB 3 hub

other systems are under the desk.

It's really convenient. I have hooked some systems to power switches, others are always on. It is organized, takes up space but doesn't fall over, and gives me desktop access to ports if I need them.

That said, many years ago I had a server setup where I really organized everything, zip ties for all cables for neatness, etc. I turned out to be a pain every time I rewired something (cut zip ties, etc). I eventually learned there's a neat and organized vs flexibility balance you have to maintain.

I feel like if tourists weren't so "un-informed" consumers, things would "even out"... you know?

Like tourists bring in "bad" consumer practices, such as buying stuff/food at "tourist traps" thus actually driving up prices, instead of them going to whenever the "locals" are used to go and still contribute to the local economy.

Best example I can think of paying overpriced shitty food at some tourist trap restaurant because you don't know better because you're a tourist, meanwhile locals go to their "known" places that aren't anything remotely similar to a "trap" you know?
The statement you're referring to is the title of the article, intended to briefly describe the conclusions reached within the AARO report. It is not a quote by the government or any government representative, nor a statement of policy, so interpreting it in terms of "government speak" is specious.

The actual AARO report is far more explicit in its determinations, as mentioned in the body of the article, as well as the actual report linked therein[0].

I sure that Apple world class legal team saw everything you think they saw. But thing is, Apples legal team only provides legal _advise_, they don’t make decisions like this. There’s absolutely nothing preventing a senior leader getting perfectly good legal advice, and choosing to simply ignore it.

After all, legal advice can usually be summed up as “if you do anything, someone can fuck you”, and do nothing isn’t a good business strategy.
To be fair, we don't know other people even if they're in the same room. We know the persona that they want us to know. Plenty of true crime stories start with "we never thought he could do something like this."
45TSE is probably one of my top 3 fav portrait lenses, the glass is really something special on that lens, un-tilted the clarity is just phenomenal. Not sure what it is, but I love shooting with it, and it's fun to tilt in portraiture! :) https://s.h4x.club/DOuJJKJp

Exactly! It contributes to rising rent costs...

Now, FWIW, I prefer the adapt-or-die mentality, so I'm not anti-tourism, but if a majority of people in a certain place decide "no tourism", then hey more power to the people, they should decide whether they will accept tourism or not, not the tax-dollar-receivers...

Congrats on the project!

Here’s an idea to monetize it: implement collaborative filtering (example: funds in rows, assets in columns).

Once you do it, you will be able to cluster similar funds. Let’s say X funds have the asset A, but Y funds do not have it, and X and Y belong to the same cluster. Thus, if you recommend asset A to the Y funds, there’s a high probability they’d add it to their portfolio (if property pitched). This is roughly how Netflix recommends movies, Spotify recommends songs, etc.

A lot of players in the industry would pay high $$$ for a recommender system like that. And you already made 80%: it’s only missing the final machine learning part (which is the fun part :))
>> "A huge chunk of the company went into open revolt and he got a competing offer that threatened to recruit all of them"

> 1. Epic isn't a part of a protected class. Please stop adding to the noise of diluting the meaning of the word "discrimination".

You're the one that cited right of refusal *shrug*

> 2. Epic violated mutually agreed upon terms in cases prior, which Apple can rightfully cite in future references.

"Mutually agreed upon" is a hilarious way of putting it. Epic rebelled against a bad system. More importantly, they won. The law is more important now than Apple's rules, and the fact that Apple backed down shows that they know that.

> 3. Apple customers are free to choose Android or Windows or any other platform with Epic software. Competition, baby!

As an Apple customer, this pisses me off. I have no desire to switch but I also have no desire for Apple to act in this way. Epic's win is good for customers, only Apple fanboys or investors are upset by this.

> 4. If you want to do business with someone, you and them both agree to and abide by terms set forth. If you don't like the terms, you renegotiate and if that doesn't pan out you terminate the agreement according to terms therein or otherwise as amicably as possible and go on your way.

They did renegotiate... through the courts. There are reasons we have antitrust laws and anti-monopoly laws. You cant have any sort of reasonable negotiation when one side is a 900 pound gorilla. Regulation matters when it comes to market access

> 5. Bluntly speaking, Epic might need Apple but Apple doesn't need Epic.

So your point is that Apple is a mega-giant that doesn't feel harm from banning a smaller competitor? You're basically making my point for me.
Thing is, you can get pre-built racks on amazon for < $100 that are both sturdy and designed for it. with removable sides, or casters, or whatever. For a little more you can get nice wooden audio racks that are spouse-friendly.. ish.

The word "official" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting there.
But then you have the opposite problem, don't you? Ford or Exxon is making a significant profit from the activity too. The former may even be imposing standards -- some modern cars have a limp-mode if they detect a fault -- and they had a lot to do with whether the vehicle is wheelchair-accessible.

You cannot know whether this is true for all tourist/nomad hotspots (by being a hotspot they're actually suffering), e.g. Portugal/Colombia/Vietnam.

However... I still support whatever the people in those cities decide... so if they decide "no tourism" then they should be heard...

Sad thing (for the people against tourism, which might be the majority in certain places...)is that those don't vote... (1 person 1 vote) but they do lobby/bribes...

Good news. Prop taxes are local and mostly go to pay for schools and other county owned infrastructure.

Socialism is happy to provide the housing you want and funding can come from the same non-municipal sources it always has.

It's here used as shorthand for "not merely a social illusion constructed by the person it is acting upon"

Some power derives from charisma, force of personality, or social fluency. But lots of power, from the perspective of the people it is acting on, derives from or relies on nothing of the sort, and merely requires that consequences can be enacted for failure to cooperate with the power dynamic at play

This narrative is not insignificant. A lot of powerful people love to tell a story where power is just a personal competency, and consequently, that anyone's lack of power in any circumstance is, as the gamers say, a skill issue
That’s ok we have LLMs + ordering direct from China for that now
The key thing about all TS-lenses I know of is they only support manual focus; while this may not be a problem for architecture or landscape photography I'm too casual to try to focus a portrait manually (Gregory Heisler talks about doing this in his book "50 portraits" and I love his work).

Rumour has it that Canon's RF-mount tilt-shift lenses will support autofocus though...
I immediately wondered whether they included SciHub in their study

> It is also true that much content is “preserved,” often illegally, in shadow libraries/archives such as Library Genesis and Sci-Hub (for more, see Bodo´, 2018a, 2018b; Eve, 2022). These archives are at great legal threat of shutdown but have also proved surprisingly resilient. We do not, in this article, count material stored in such archives, even though it constitutes an additional storage location.

This just further proves that projects like SciHub are absolutely essential and must be protected at all costs. Nobody cares more about preservation of knowledge and culture than loosely organized groups of volunteers.
A pro photographer friend of mine stopped using Tilt/Shift lenses for architecture, he says the image quality is noticeably better if you correct the perspective in photoshop/lightroom afterwards.
> Wait, but if one is hot, and one is medium, I'm obviously picking the medium one. Seems easy enough to do a comparison to me.

Ok, I can see how what I said was unclear. Maybe not unclear, but it could have been phrased more plainly. If one is lukewarm and the other is not, the comparison is easy. But if both are plausibly lukewarm and one is a little warmer than the other, which one is "more" lukewarm? That isn't really how the word works, y'know? I don't think you'd get a repeatable answer out of different people on that, whereas a bowl of lukewarm soup, and one which is not-lukewarm in either direction, there will be a strong consensus as to which is which.
The single most powerful advantage AirBNB has, and believe me... is that... ....at least when you rent for more than a month (in most places)...

...you can receive visits and treat that place as your "own"...

That's a really big advantage for digital nomads...

...they can receive friends they made at this new city, or sex workers... (regardless of how you feel about that it's a reality)...

But 1-week tourists are still probably staying at hostels or hotels...

So maybe allow visits at hotels and then you kill off a lot of the AirBNB market...?
Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Informant
A stellar article by Bastian Kratzke as usual.

Using tilt to increase depth of field is incredibly useful in macro photography. For example this picture of sushi by Ming Thein [1] using the Nikkor PC-E 85mm lens. It's particularly useful when the subject is mostly flat, like a watch.

I personally have a Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Shift lens, with which I took a picture of the Hallidie Building [2].

I think you are unsure of how UBI works. It is not paying people to stay at home, it is just a modification of tax brackets, such that people below a certain level pay negative taxes, aka receive money to live and survive. Unlike now, where everyone has to pay taxes, even the poor.

UBI does not need an increase in taxes, just a proper tiering of it, such that the ultra rich pay more to support society better. By having people who pay negative taxes, they are not burdened with living paycheck to paycheck and can focus on improving their lives. If you are working, saving and paying your proportionate taxes, UBI should not affect you in any way.

It's just a fix for rampant capitalism, where the rich are supposedly working millions of times harder than their exploited working class.
If you do, please think very carefully before investing in any coin that's come out within the past 2 years. I lost a lot of money investing in get-rich-quick altcoins during the last bull run (which I only recently made up for by selling some btc/eth/sol I'd been holding onto since then).
Thanks that's good to know, I updated my comment.
They said that nothing related to safety or capabilities affected the decision
Depends. Extremely good lenses like the Fujifilm GF 30mm f/5.6 will definitely outperform correcting perspective in Photoshop. Of course, that costs many thousands of dollars.

But comparing older Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5, or the Samyang/Rokinon 24mm f/3.5 against any decent wide angle lens nowadays is a wash.

I accidentally wiped the drives on my server last year, but it wasn't so bad due to my setup.

My strat is having a deploy.ps1 script in every project folder that sets the project up. 80% of the time this is making the vm, rcloning the files, and installing/starting the service if needed. Roughly 3ish lines, using custom commands. Takes about 100ms to deploy assuming the vm is up. Sometimes the script gets more complicated, but the general idea is that whatever system I use under the covers, running deploy.ps1 will set it up, without internet, without dependencies, this script will work until the heat death of the universe.

After losing everything I reran the deploys (put them into a list) and got everything back.

I'm with you on some of the routing setups, mine aren't 100% documented either. I think my router/switch config is too complex honestly and I should just tone it down.
There is a video at the top of the page, does it show ? Ah maybe not on mobile I'll try to figure why not.
