Maybe monsters or fires could spawn more often as a different sort of land value "tax".

Also, I remember how these "cheap car" sorts races worked.

The idea was that people were supposed to compete against each other in junkyard cars. The way to keep people from out-spending each other to fix up their car was that any car could be purchased for say $500 after the race.

I wonder if real/virtual landlords could have the same sorts of limits - if someone lived in a rented apartment and liked it, they could purchase it outright for a certain multiple of the rent. I think that could balance out lots of things.
I also have no idea why he needs the newline-mask \r.

For all these "it is better" points, it still doesn't even begin to outweigh the "you get to spend time with your children" point. This is the most important part of child rearing and once they've moved on you'll be thankful you spent your time with them instead of... whatever all that income/societal optimization stuff is. You get to raise your children once.
Unfortunately it's difficult to enforce that, so dealing with users who've already set things up in a specific way is a problem
Because then another question arises: what breaks down the fungus?

Edit:

This question is serious. If this fungus would eat all that plastic, this would introduce a huge amount of new life in the ocean with unknown effects to the ecosystem. We would replace one problem with another.

> Notebooks are often used as a playground to easily have access to an accelerator. In this case, the execution environment is often set up differently and with different dependencies. In this case, you make your code work in a colab, smile widely and run your experiment after on a cluster or whatever. You start crying in twenty minutes after your code crashes due to lack of dependency or versioning or anything else similar.

What you describe applies to pretty much any tax on any asset.

E.g. "if you tax bitcoin as capital gains that will only create an incentive to remove it because then the value of bitcoin will go up."
I travel internationally a fair amount and so what I've read about this it gets into more of a murky area. A lawyer would probably provide the best advice because there is what is constitutionally allowed to happen in what really does happen and the ultimate question of how much money do you want to spend to defend your constitutional rights.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/federal-judge-makes-hi...

The courts generally side with the people that open ended searches without any kind of suspicion are not constitutional. Of course that does not stop the government from doing it and waiting for the courts to rule in every specific scenario. Because we have a strange system where we have officials that are sworn to uphold the constitution but they're not required to seek clarity before implementing a policy that could violate it. They have no repercussions for violating it the first time. Which generally means that violated it thousands of times until they hit the one person with the money to challenge them.

Also at the border US citizens are different than non US citizens in what their requirements are. For example a US citizen cannot be denied entry because they do not want to cooperate with a border investigation. The border patrol will tell you they can deny you entry but that is completely false. They can hold the suspicious items but they cannot hold you as a person and block your entry if you can establish your US citizen usually with your passport. This includes failing to disclose a password to your electronic device they can hold the device but they cannot hold you.

If you are not a US citizen they can deny you entry for any reason at all even if you have a valid visa.

My best suggestion for anyone who is concerned about electronic device searches is back up the device when you're outside the country, wipe it, Transit the border and let them do a search on a device that has nothing and then restore the device when you're on the other side. Because this whole charade about meeting to search an electronic device for electronic contraband is idiotic what I can simply send it through the internet ether around every access control.
I can't edit my original comment but I have updated the game with "Impossible" difficulty mode as implemented by Louis.

Based on a suggestion from a sister comment, I have also added a "Tutor" mode. When hovering over a square in tutor mode, it shows the probability of winning the game given that you a) select that square and b) continue to play optimally for the rest of the game. Both of these options are in the settings menu in the top right of the game.

Finally, I've added a little writeup to the bottom comparing the strengths of the two AI implementations. Enjoy!

I don't think I've met a single data scientist or ML person who used Python and didn't use notebooks.

What are the "right abstractions" that everyone seems to miss?
Sorry for ambiguity. What I meant is, what if the parent trusts the kid to do the right thing, and so the kid does not have to call in to the parent for an okay to hang out with a friend ?

This kind of independence might be a social plus for a kid. Something like "I don't need a phone cos I can go where I want until dinnertime". No helicopter parenting.
To be evenhanded, encrypting SQLite at rest is a well-solved problem. Dr. Richard Hipp and his merry men even sell an official extension to do so. Plenty of third party FOSS solutions also exist for this.

I feel if that were the case I'd suddenly feel a lot more comfortable with the MS approach than the Apple approach.
This is such a common frustration for me that I sometimes share to family, friends, and partner. They have a hard time understanding why I think it is such a big problem.

I think people perhaps have gotten to good at accepting the gruel they get, rather than the feast they could have.
My partner tries to get me to be less frustrated all the time. She is right, of course, that this is not a helpful emotion. But I cannot concede and just accept gruel like this. Ordering plane tickets is something I dread every time.

Anyone have good ways of keeping the energy to improve and not let this affect you, despite it doing?

I mostly agree, but also... it kinda is a dark art? I just read the "Reduce duplicate content" section [1] because my gut reaction was "yeah, I agree, this guy is going to get SEO-penalized for this" but of course I don't actually know. And although my few years of experience dealing with this stuff still want to say "you will get SEO-penalized for this", Google's own guidelines do not: "If you're feeling adventurous, it's worth figuring out if you can specify a canonical version for your pages. But if you don't canonicalize your URLs yourself, Google will try to automatically do it for you. [...] again, don't worry too much about this; search engines can generally figure this out for you on their own most of the time. "

We like it or not 1 person in the household taking care of the kids skew the relationship between 2 adults into dependentship as the one working outside perceived to be the one bringing the income (while both should) and the one taking care of the kids and household end up feeling dependent. Some may try to be objective and tell yourself the other one is contributing as much, that is not the way it works in our guts, we like it or not and leads to inequality.

This not optimal for many reasons:

- once the kids are going to school, regular "office hours" daycare is not needed and it skew the relationship even more by removing one task to one party. If that time is used for personal instead of household chores activities, that person not bringing the income is eventually seen as a partial freeloader by the one bringing the income.

- relationship can go sour quickly and if it doesn't work, the "dependent" one doesn't feel as free to end that relationship

- the person taking care of the kid's social life is usually not as rich

The elephant in the room being that in most case it ends up being the woman staying at home in an heterogender relationship in a society with an historically patriarcal model because of income levels which further increase the inequalities and dependentship.
The price of houses may be rising, but in most cities the main cost is the cost of the land, not the house.

If the owner cannot generate any revenue from owning the plot, then it is not a "land-like asset" and it just doesn't factor into this discussion. A "land" in LVT is not necessarily literally land, although the way most virtual worlds are programmed, the "land" in the game often has functions similar to real-world land, which makes it LVT "land".

I spent a lot of time on the early 90s looking at building faster graphics hardware - started out grabbing a lot of data.

#1 thing we figured out is that 'raw performance' and 'perceived performance' are two very different things - we were selling raw performance, customers were buying perceived performance - perceived performance is sort of an S-shaped curve, on the left there's a flat area where it's too slow, increase it a bit, it's still to slow, in the middle there's an area where performance changes are very noticeable, and on the right there's another flat area where it's fast enough.

Getting to that middle bit first was where we made our money, once we hit the rightmost bit we were mostly waiting for the competition to catch up.

Anyway the real point I'm trying to make here is that what you're aiming for is that 'fast enough' spot, not 'fastest' - for everything, it's worth spending time benchmarking to figure out what is slow (spending the time watching someone else use it is time well spent)
And he's being held responsible for that, but he still has an ongoing right to free speech. If he lies again (he will, especially now that he has nothing to lose), he'll be back in court.
EVE online had to exist and deliver value to generate revenue. Metaverse and friends is under no such obligation, hence the vaporware attitude to any rigor.

I don’t understand how the gap was so large between them saying this data was encrypted/protected and people easily being able to get the raw data. I know once you’re on someone’s machine in a way all bets are off, but it feels like this should have had far greater security attached to it. It doesn’t seem to even match their promises. Couldn’t this have been seen a mile away?
The D20 was the first die shape I tried and I ended up just sticking with it. My reasoning was basically the same as yours - 5% intervals look better.

Agreed that 6 sided dice would not detract from the amount of strategy in the game. I think it could be cool to try a physical version of the game where you shuffle premade tiles and place them in the grid - maybe a fun game to teach kids probability :)
this is a terrible thing to do. not only does it mean a link to the site will unpredictably change its referent, it's also impossible to archive in a way you can restore

If using just 1d6 and also by including tiles that have zero neutral (i.e. no) outcomes, you get 15 possible tiles, which should be enough to build... very many different tic-tac-toe boards (I am too lazy to count, but combinations of 9 from 15 and then 9!=362880 different configurations of the tiles for each combination, although all mirrors and rotations should be excluded so in reality there are fewer than that, but still more than what you need for a (re-)playable game and probably never see a board you saw before).

The way I see land value tax and taxes in general is different.

Tax is someone taking money by force. Supposedly this tax is then used to protect the land / assets from being seized. Over time every country seemingly has increased taxes as stability increased (not the other way around), so in reality — it’s extortion. Give us money or we take your stuff, your “protector” takes more because you don’t have other options.

Back to the land value tax, why bother? It’s the same fundamental issue; why are we paying these taxes?

And before we get into “but the services”. I moved somewhere that has approximately zero taxes and zero services. It’s great - safer, cheaper, better run. A lot of community stuff is ran by parents or churches, people tend to just “figure it out”.

The idea of a land value tax is insane because it robs you of assets faster the more valuable it is. We had this in the past, feudal Europe, it sucked. What it will end up being is just like Europe some random person will dictate what you owe and if you don’t pay it, then someone else is granted it at a discount. Probably the bureaucrats cousin.
I probably would have agreed once that someone physically having access to your computer was as bad as things could get.

Given the choice now though between someone having access to my computer, _or_ someone having physical access to my computer as well as a database with a detailed and lengthy history of every secret i've ever seen in my terminal or web browser, as well every bit of employer or customer data that I've seen whilst working, as well as well ... everything else personal, all in one nice tidy package they could download and search as they pleased - I think the former would end up not being quite as bad things could get.
Thanks. A page with examples would be really helpful. The default example (if that what it is) or the shared example would be much more interesting with some context. Or a Show HN, if that’s what’s happening here.
They are offering a product/service, so going in too much detail would be a bad business practice, no?

Good call on the no-call for Recall.
Someone earns a salary by working. By when land appreciates in value, it's not usually because of the work _you_ put in, but the work others did.

Like, if I found a tech startup that grows big in a small town, homes in that town will increase in value because people want to work at my company. The landowners did nothing for that value.

Plastic-eating whatever evolves in environments of extremely high concentration of plastic and unavailability of anything else. As soon as anything else is available, the plastic-eating thing evolves back to eating something else.

>when Google gets it wrong, it's a big issue, but not for the other.

Because Google was presenting the AI-generated answer as the top query result, implying it's the most relevant/factual answer. OpenAI (and Bing) make it clear you're talking to an AI chatbot, which most people wouldn't expect to be as reliable/accurate as the first result in Google search.
I think that's part of it. But there's also a lot of badly designed software around. On the web it's not just the network. It's bloated, easy to misuse, frameworks that cause every small operation to take millions of cycles. In the backend I've seen all sorts of "slow" from taking hours to aggregate millions of records (where you should be able to do a billion in less than a second), to things slowed down by choice of wrong technologies or languages, to ridiculous overheads of wrangling data in and our of various serialized formats and passing it around with heavyweight stacks.

What drives me crazy ;) is that many software developers have no sense of what is a "reasonable" amount of time/resources to accomplish certain workloads. If they can't even tell or have never seen anything that's high performance then they just think this is normal. No sense of, how many operations per second a CPU can perform, memory and disk performance etc. The slow performance is just normalized in a team.
>depends on what your goals are.
>An analogy with a phone might be to just talk to people.

Sure, I'm just pointing out that I don't think very many people these days actually want such a thing. Outside of HN (which seems to have a lot of very anti-tech people curiously), all the people I know, of all age ranges, simply don't actually use phones much for voice calling. When they do, it's usually just for talking to businesses as I said before, not for family and friends. Instead, people are using phones for so many other non-voice-calling things which simply won't work on a dumbphone.

I feel like this is one of those things where people are appealing to nostalgia, but no one actually puts their money where their mouth is. Also, last I heard, dumbphones (flipphones) really are still available in many markets for people who want them, but almost no one does except perhaps for some elderly people. So I think this is really just people whining about the "good ol' days" while forgetting they weren't that good.

This is a very narrow minded take. Notebooks are used mostly by scientists who are just using code as a research tool. Being able to explore to learn is incredibly useful. Using them in production is a perfect bridge between different disciplines. And if you get distracted because “your browser has tabs” that’s really not the notebooks fault.
I have experienced this, for me there were two main factors.

1) Temperature - If my bedding is too hot or too cold I found that I would wake up in the early morning. I now have three duvets a Winter, Autumn/Spring and Summer. If I find myself waking up in the night I shift to one of the others, it helped a lot.

2) Fresh air - I cannot say why but having a window open even if it's just a couple mm makes a huge difference to me.

That's a "forrest".

To refer to an actual forrest, an additional qualifier is needed.
Maybe its time to start fresh with a clean sheet? (Pun).

The spreadsheet paradigm is immensely intuitive and arguably the only alternative to the standard procedural programming currently in use in number crumching.

But therein lies also a major weakness when used for important tasks: hard to validate.

Once you further combine it with API calls and whatnot, the situation gets totally out of hand: how do you reproduce anything?

The landscape around user interfaces, computational capability and (most importantly) the ever deeper embedding of such tools in decision making suggests to start taking the humble spreadsheet seriously and maybe that requires going back to the drawing board.
