also the interest rate has gone down from 20% to close to 0%.the rate is going up again, and we should see the housing market correct itself, but it usually takes a couple of years - in particular, my take is that the interest rate does not go down as long as we expect it to (ie. we don't change the behaviors that are required for the banks to lower the rate).

regardless, in Copenhagen you can get a 2 room apartment for 2.5m DKK. if you have a down payment of 200k you can buy this with a salary of roughly 550k a year, which indeed is reasonable as you live in Copenhagen. if you are a couple, then you are at 5m kr where you can start to get houses in the suburb or quite nice apartments.

personally I prefer a market with higher interest rates such that the price is not just set as multiples of a median salary.

seems to me that this would result in heat-loss as the air is heated quickly then ejected from the mass. perhaps the bubbled gas doesn't hold a significant amount of heat though? (but if it did, it could be used to extract the heat without pumping the sand...)
The merchant doesn't generally have much choice. I have some friends who ran a restaurant, and they stopped accepting Amex because the fee was too high. They sold the restaurant to an employee and he immediately started accepting Amex again. Too many high spending clients use it and he didn't want to miss out.

Also, even though Costco only accepts a single brand of card (used to be Amex, now Visa), despite their size and market power they accept any Visa card a customer presents.
I read ULG's 'The Dispossessed' and while the writing is great, it more feels like social commentary with a mild flavour of sci-fi.

I suppose am struggling to articulate this better.

To give you a contrast, take Arthur C Clarke, a contemporary of hers. Consider his book 'A Fall of Moondust' (one of my favourites).

In ACC's book, there is some core peculiarity of the fundamental nature of the world that the story is entirely based on. The possibilities stemming from that one oddity is interesting from a scientific perspective.

Having said that, the characters in that book are nothing to write home about. They serve the necessary function for the plot but nothing too memorable.

ULG's plot on the other hand has no distinctive scientifically interesting peculiarity that it seems to be built on. It might as well have occurred on Earth just as it does in 'Anarres' or 'Urras'.

It feels like ULG's book is more about people/political theory/social commentary/human condition than any scientifically intriguing theory.

It's still a good read I guess, but it didn't scratch my sci-fi itch.
In the EU, the opposite of this happened: the EU directive PSD2 made it illegal for merchants to apply surcharges on purchases using consumer credit and debit cards from early 2018.

> think most people here can subtract 10 from 100 and get 90. Am I the only genius on HN? I hope not. Help us all if I am.

TLDR: You are the only HN genius who forgot to multiply by allowed collateral damage.

They suggest based on thin evidence that it selects 90% Hamas associates given relatively clean data at start of conflict. There are oh so many things wrong with this.

- Hamas is the local government. Those who don't participate in the fighting aren't lawful targets in the first place

- They preferentially strike homes during the night maximizing collateral damage in order to obtain a higher chance of killing the target. They set the acceptable losses at 20–100 based on rank and importance of the target.

- Their initial accuracy was assessed by vetting a small sample earlier in the conflict.

What happens to your targeting as the conflict proceeds? Your known targets die, flee, and move around. New soldiers are recruited but don't provide clear intelligence from a chaotic warzone of their present status. You would logically expect such a system's accuracy to decline towards randomness as such a conflict proceeds and intelligence and targets become thinner on the ground. There is no reason to accept the initial 90% targeting accuracy on faith.

Even where we accept we must not forget to multiply by acceptable collateral damage.

> "Universal health care" is a phrase that basically means "everyone is on medicare" by now and to a right-wing listener is synonymous with losing control of your health care decisions.

I live in a country where there is universal healthcare and I still am in full control of my healthcare decisions - I can still see a private specialist, and I have private insurance on top of the public service precisely for things like that - and to have a private room in the hospital. This also causes the private insurance to be very cheap, because the risk it deals with is much smaller.

I too miss honest debate, and news focused on providing reliable information instead of just blindly listening to anyone who wants to have a platform.

Open source is an interesting creature economically speaking. Being a broadly pro-market guy, when I was in college and I heard about what sounded like a communist software development model, I thought "there's no way this is going to work".

Over time it became clear that it does work to some extent. I became rather fond of FOSS and even embraced the quasi-anarcho-communist aspects of it. In some ways, we can meet each others' needs with even less bureaucracy than with a paid product, just as a paid service tends to have less bureaucracy than a government service. Broad brush, granted.

But it has an interesting relationship with the cash market, in that it does get funded sometimes, despite being non-excludable. There is also a sort of "marketplace of ideas" or perhaps an attention market, that makes certain projects more popular than others and thus get more attention from developers.

Then again, important things like xz have a tendency to fall through the cracks more than in the traditional economy. GnuPG being underfunded was another example. Price signals don't flow as clearly. Also, incentives to fund something crucial that you use aren't there if you're one of many businesses that use the software.

So this is all to say, one could take the argument against government funding in general (picking winners and losers) and apply it here. The reason we're talking about government funding is that perhaps it's better suited toward finding the weak spots like xz. My hope is that (given the alarm bells) the concentrated interests in the market will be able to come in and fill in the gaps themselves. Or, a clever funding method could still arise. My personal idea was insurance policies with stipulations on which software is used, which would give the insurance companies the incentive to find and fix the weak spots.
I don't propose any alternatives to advertisements. The simple fact of the matter is that as long as people also need to pay for mobile data or are subject to data caps that advertisements are a giant waste of bandwidth and at their very worst a distribution method for malware and other malfeasance on the web. It's a giant "pay for placement" that has no regulation because as long as the advertising companies are making money hand over fist they have no obligation to police the content being pushed through their networks because they get paid either way!

The age old use of advertisements that were generic and placed on TV channels were IMHO the "peak" of what advertising could be. All other forms of advertisements have proven to be predatory. Sites DEMAND you view their ads so that they can receive money to keep the site going.... That inevitably results in traffic to the site going elsewhere and the same result is that the site dies so I absolutely agree that if the site/product requires continuous profit through advertisements because otherwise it would not be able to continue operating then maybe that site/product does not need to continue existing.

I agree, the network part looks overly complicated to me as well.

Bandwidth was at least relatable to some extend. But now it looks like one needs to combine requests and client traffic as well as server traffic.

It wonder how that works if you proxy another vercel site through a vercel project. I.e. a nextjs projects proxies /docs to a docusaurus page. Because as of today the billed the bandwidth and requests twice :-(
Eh... The charging is an issue. I have been in a position to rent EVs before but opted not to. If I own a Tesla, then I likely have a charger at home (and possibly at work), so dealing with charging is only an issue on my rare long haul trips (and if I frequently make long-haul trips, I probably own a gas car), which I'd be willing to put up with. If i'm renting in a city i'm visiting though:

1) I'm likely driving more than I do at home

2) I don't know if my hotel/s will have chargers

3) I am cognizant of my time and don't want to drive out of my way to sit in parking lots while my car charges

4) I might be travelling to rural areas where chargers are infrequent

Not saying that the issues you brought up are invalid, but I do think there's a demand problem.
Matching overall length with other traces, is my guess.
The build system should specify whether it wants glibc or musl and what version. Relying on current system state is one of the reasons that glibc is such a monumental pain in the ass. It should be trivial to target an arbitrary version of glibc. (zig build system achieves this).

The way C projects from the 90s work is you locally run .configure and it generates a whole bunch of headers, if not .c files, with a whole bunch of crap based on local system state. Then you run a build script. "The Right Thing" is for the repo files to contain a superset and for the build system pass the tiny handful of defines necessary to select the target platform. For example glibc, musl, PlayStation4, NintendoSwitch, etc.

It's very, very easy to do. musl does things right. glibc is the only bad citizen stuck in the 90s. The difference between the libc headers across the kajillion target platforms is exceedingly minimal.

Wow. This looks incredible, thanks for sharing.

It makes me wonder how we've gone this long with increasingly poor data table presentations (the mid-century modern tables are astutely pointed to as shining examples).

This comment should really be promoted to the top level and pinned. I wanted to write something similar, but if I had, it would have been less detailed than this.
The technique here keeps a large set of objects from escaping the sandbox. Those objects are accessed both by C++ and JIT code. You are right that using Rust instead of C++ would help on the C++ side, but it would not help at all on the JIT code side, and that is by far the major source of exploits.

In other words, even if you write a JS engine in Rust you could benefit greatly from this technique.
Depends what kind of commercial offerings you're considering.

If you're looking at virtualization like VMWare, Incus can run a cluster on any hardware you want with various storage and network options, letting you run your VMs and even share the cluster with different teams/people.

But unlike VMWare ESXi, Incus is software you install on a normal Linux system instead of its own OS. It also doesn't come with an official web interface though there are some options for that too.

It's a lot lighter weight than something complex like OpenStack or Kubernetes, it doesn't need dedicated infrastructure machines, the control plane is automatically distributed.

It's more similar than a Proxmox or XCP but those feel less flexible to me. But I also haven't played with them too much recently.

And of course, this is Open Source, so something like what's going on with VMWare licensing can't really happen here, but same is true for any OSS option.

ISR is just a fancy way to say Cache Hits with SWR headers? So you can mitigate most of the Read cost by either:

* Not using SWR headers
* Putting free tier Cloudflare in front of your Vercel instance(s)

You can improve the Write cost by having longer SWR cache durations. Folks that are seeing a cost increase likely have high traffic volume, a short SWR duration.

Edge Network Routing is also a bit nebulous. I would love to see this better defined, as it's not 100% clear what contributes to volume here.

Yes, and that goes both ways.

I read the ruling and found its conclusion reasonable, thus the court insofar as this case is reasonable. If you or anyone else thinks the court is unreasonable with their ruling here, please read the ruling and make your case like I have. What part is "wild" and "twisted"?

>I feel like you haven't been engaging with what I actually wrote with if you keep arguing this.

What part of "I read the ruling and found it reasonable." do you not understand? What part of "I find shooting the messenger unreasonable." do you not understand? What part of "Denying the judiciary just because you don't like them is an attack on rule of law." do you not understand?

Those are the intended semantics of JS, but that doesn't help you when you're the one implementing JS. Somebody has to actually enforce those restrictions. Note that the code snippet is introduced with "JSArray::buffer_ can be thought of as a JSValue*, that is, a pointer to an array of JavaScript values", so there's no bounds checking on `buffer_[index]`.

It's easy enough to rewrite this C++ code to do the right bounds checking. Writing the code in Rust would give even stronger guarantees. The key point, though, is that those guarantees don't extend to any code that you generate at runtime via just-in-time compilation. Rust is smart, but not nearly smart enough to verify that the arbitrary instructions you've emitted will perform the necessary bounds checks. If your optimizing compiler decides it can omit a bounds check because the index is already guaranteed to be in-bounds, and it's wrong, then there's no backstop to swoop in and return undefined instead of reading arbitrary memory.

In short, JIT compilation means that it's ~impossible to make any safety guarantees about JS engines using compile-time static analysis, because a lot of the code they run doesn't exist until runtime.
Auto rental is a bet on used-car futures.

There was no real reason electric cars had to be more expensive than gas cars, other than market positioning. Tesla does not get to have Apple-sized margins, just car-company-sized margins. Once reality set in, electric car prices started to come down. That Hertz's finance-type CEO didn't see this coming is his fault.

The other big problems seem to be that "Hertz’s Teslas got into accidents four times more often than the company’s other vehicles", and getting Teslas fixed takes far too long and costs too much. Maybe Hertz should have had a software change installed to limit acceleration at slow speeds, or at least a more conservative pedal effort curve.
This sounds like exactly the kind of force-multiplying work a senior developer should be doing, though.

I totally agree that it's ridiculous and sucks to do, but that also sounds like incredibly high ROI on your time.

Spending a month filling out paperwork to save every dev in the company 15 minutes a day or whatever would be a massive win. Like an "I deserve a promotion" level win.

I get what you mean, though. I've fought to bring products in a couple of times, and it's one of my least favorite tasks. It's endless meetings, and nobody on the other teams is super helpful because they're not going to get a bonus if this works out.

Edit: Another thought; spending your time making procurement easier might also be a worthwhile endeavor, if you could get the buy-in from someone that procurement will listen to.
It’s so bizarre when people say stuff like this. There is absolutely nothing preventing the unpracticed or untalented people from any form of creative expression. What instead people who use AI seem to want is for unpracticed or untalented people to perform at the level of the practiced and talented, but this is no net gain to anyone. Why? Because only a rare subset of people who ARE practiced and talented create anything of interest or value in the first place. What this tells you is that skill or level of performance is not the barrier, but a means through which great things CAN be achieved (i.e. necessary, but not sufficient)

Flooding the world with unpolished, unpracticed works, AI-tuned to the level of being mediocre, is a creative and intellectual dead end.
In my experience, people that disparage containerization are either forgetting or weren’t around to know about how awful bespoke and project specific build and deploy practices actually were. Not that docker is perfect, but the concept of containerization is so much better than the alternative it’s actually kind of insane.

I've been evaluating it alongside Cosmos and Umbrel, in addition to tools I've used before like CapRover. I like it but I don't have any strong feelings yet. I will probably do some sort of writeup after I do more evaluations and tests and play with more things but I haven't had the time to dedicate to it.

If you're already familiar with setting things up Salt/Ansible/whatever and Docker compose, you might not need something like this -- especially if you're already using a dashboard like Dashy or whatever.

The biggest thing is that these types of tools make it a lot easier to set things up -- there are inherent security risks too if you don't know what you are doing, though I argue this is a great way to learn (and it isn't a guarantee that simply knowing how to use Salt or Ansible or another infrastructure as code tool will mean any of the stuff you deploy is any more secure) and a good entryway for people who don't want to do the Synology thing.

I like these sorts of projects because even though I can do most of the stuff manually (I'd obv. automate using Ansible or something), I often don't want to if I just want to play with stuff on a box and the app store nature of these things is often preferable to finding the right docker image (or modifying it) for something. I'm lazy and I like turnkey solutions.
Yeah, but that still shows people's perception of wine is barely above noise level, if it can be so easily misled.

For comparison, imagine someone showing a piece of Picasso to art critics and saying "Could you please describe the artistic significance of this painting by da Vinci?" The critics won't start using terms commonly reserved for Renaissance era; they'll say "What the fuck are you talking about, this isn't da Vinci."
My experience with Finance/PE people is that they don't really care about any details. They want all decks to be like three slides. If you can't represent something on a spreadsheet it doesn't count. And they're extremely good at working backwards from a conclusion.
