This is the perfect storm, commercial landlords versus small business owners. Commercial landlords doing their thing, while many small business owners think that they are a sacred cow to the country and are constitutionally entitled to a profitable enterprise.
Assuming that distributed control is invariably going to turn into a fight (spending every available resource in the process), yes, centralized control seems to be the answer.
Yes, I tend on the side of only tweaking things when I realise I'm repetitively using the same context menus. That's the only point I learn the keyboard shortcuts, or map one, these days. I really haven't had to learn too many shortcuts. The best ones are multi-cursor editing like you've mentioned.
Scenarios that don't require a mod ?

(Some time ago, Factorio did not have a built-in mod synchronization system for multiplayer, with the result that the most popular servers did not run any mods, but rather used complicated scenarios instead.)
No.

First: the west-coast homeless population is overwhelmingly indigenous, consisting of people who had (and mostly will again) stable housing in the region before experiencing homelessness.

Secondly: the much more salient reason the midwest sees less homelessness is that housing is much, much more affordable here. The homeless in the midwest leave homelessness, for apartments; they don't leave the region to be homeless elsewhere.

Third: there are huge numbers of homeless people in Chicago. Chicago is drastically bigger than Portland or San Francisco, where the homeless problem is more visible. Drive down Chicago Ave through Humboldt Park. People don't erect tent cities in the middle of San Francisco as a political statement; there just isn't anywhere else to put them. Chicago doesn't have that problem.

Whatever lets you sleep at night.
It's just easier for individuals to 'own' certain shared responsibilities, but inevitably the other can be prone to resent having lesser participation and access to the positives of the other's responsibility (e.g., time with children, career aspirations).

Since we now live in a time where there are fewer social constraints in how households are arranged, people really should be explicit in what they want and revisit the issue periodically to minimize resentment.
>The copyright owner should have a privilege to ask for that content to be removed

Just so you know, privileges can be (and probably will be in this case) denied.

Rights on the other hand can't be denied.
I suppose then you are simply arguing for strict regulation on when a landlord can increase rents.
The answer is when the market turns - from going up or steady, to down.

If they can.

The big issue with rents right now IMO, is that commercial real estate typically has short length adjustable rate (or even ballon) financing, which causes catastrophic problems when you have a combination of:

+ rising vacancies and/or decreasing rents (aka reduced cash flow)

+ increasing finance costs.

Which is common when we enter a recession due to increasing borrowing costs.

The landlord either has to burn their free cash hoping for a recovery, or default. If it’s a short period of time, the first can happen. If it’s a fake out, then they’re left with no cash and still go bankrupt - so then need to liquidate, but it’s often when a bunch of other folks are doing the same, so prices go through the floor and it’s a bloodbath for existing investors.

And since the low interest rate environment was going on so long (with QE even!) almost everyone was leveraged to the gills on cheap credit, often to the point they had little to no free cash flow even at that point. It wasn’t just commercial of course - residential properties stopped having positive cash flow in some cases nearly a decade ago, but still kept going up. Residential financing offers more opportunities to insulate oneself from this kind of crazy though.

It happens normally of course due to the business cycle, but this has been an exceptionally long time without real monetary tightening (since well before ‘08), so the overhang is bigger.

It’s why all those dead malls are still sitting there.

So, in the fashion of wil-e-coyote off the cliff, no one wants to look down. Because it’s a long way down.
That's basically the reason why many people claim a bit of inflation is good for an economy.

The same thing happens on lots of different contracts.
I'm wondering the same thing, and as an introvert I have not meet many other people in my field.

I'm no longer happy with my current position since they stopped remote work, and I've been looking for other opportunities as a java developer. I've applied to at least 30 positions so far and NONE have responded back....
Red Red Red Blue Red Red Blue Blue Red Blue. Not at all sure what the heck the point of this is.
maybe there is a new co-parenting arrangement viable enough to be the example. it's sensitive topic, but the deadbeat dad trope that the surprise in these findings is predicated on denies women agency and responsibility for their circumstances. It's provocative and makes discourse about what a new arrangement could be impossible. It's worth dropping it and filtering anything that depends on it.
Bankruptcy by greedy landlord is also becoming more common in Germany, for example

"owner of iconic Berlin department store KaDeWe has filed for bankruptcy, citing drastically increase renting costs"

I would too. But theyre not doing it. Now what? Americans have been trying to fix congress since the 90s and it has only gotten worse. Why do you think theyll suddenly decide to start doing their jobs now?
Well, it either ain't APS-C or it ain't 35mm..
"35mm equiv F2 lens" is by it's very definition, not 35mm.

That said, I see they stuffed some AI and gimmick filters in there. It seems like a very uninteresting camera.
Additionally, I believe you can also get a margin call on your financing if you lower the rent, so there are perverse incentives to keep spaces empty which can push against a correction in prices.
That's some great sci-fi.
The open web's ethos since its inception in the 1990s has been one of unrestricted access and fair use. Content published openly online inherently invites broad consumption, reproduction, and creative reuse by the public. This is not merely custom, but a fundamental aspect of fair use doctrine as applied to the digital realm.

The four factors of fair use - purpose of use, nature of the copyrighted work, amount used, and effect on the market - overwhelmingly favor allowing free use of openly published web content. The transformative nature of most reuses, the public availability of the original works, the necessity of using entire works in many cases, and the lack of a traditional market for such content all support this interpretation.

This longstanding practice has been the catalyst for unprecedented innovation and information dissemination. It represents a tacit social contract between content creators and users, establishing a de facto "freeware" model for open web content. Any attempt to retroactively impose strict copyright limitations would not only stifle innovation but also contradict decades of established legal precedent and digital norms.

-As a side note, I’m not certain that training necessarily involves “copying.”

Having a moral compass is not a disability, even though modern society likes to make it seem that way.
This is not true. Lenders are not stupid, they are not going to be fooled by giving away 11 months free and charging a higher rent for 1 month. Or for giving away 1 month and charging a higher rent for 11 months.

Commercial real estate loans will have a provision to periodically analyze the property’s revenue (not just monthly sticker price). See debt service coverage ratios.

Nah this looks pretty orthogonal to that. This just looks like a collection of pure python libraries for doing common quant work. The thing Cal Peterson is describing (which is pretty transparently JP Morgan's Athena) would be SecDB at Goldman and would be running on their proprietary scripting language called "Slang". None of that is open source.

Goldman was the first place to do a system like that, and when it was copied at other investment banks like JP Morgan and Bank of America, they opted to use Python instead of an in-house language and so "bank python" was born. Actually, the banks all poached engineers from one another, so many of the people that built the system at one place ended up building it again at another, hence why there are so many similarities between the equivalent systems at all these US investment banks. Some of those people eventually went on to build it again as a SaaS offering: https://www.beacon.io/
> Third: there are huge numbers of homeless people in Chicago. Chicago is drastically bigger than Portland or San Francisco, where the homeless problem is more visible. Drive down Chicago Ave through Humboldt Park.

Humboldt has less than 10 homeless people. Its a tiny problem relative to the west coast.

Homelessness that people care about are the drug addicts who can not take care of themselves, these people would be homeless if housing cost $100 a month. Their status has nothing to do with housing costs. These types of homeless in SF are not overwhelmingly indigenous.
If they get some traction, it might be interesting. It reminded me of another project which I have almost forgotten about.

David Doty is a respected name in a narrow circle of nuclear magnetic resonance scientists for the hardware that his company builds [1]. At some point about a quarter century ago, he became obsessed with what he saw as an impending energy crisis, and started to look precisely into the technical nuances and economics of Fischer-Tropsch process. It seemed like a potential solution to turn excess of renewable energy into an energy-dense liquid fuel, which could then be distributed using the already existing infrastructure.

Doty was always exceptionally meticulous in anything he did, and so he went with a fine comb to find and eliminate inefficiencies in the fuel synthesis process, wherever it was physically possible. He funded a small team working on this, and they came up with some improvements [2] which they have patented, presented at conferences, etc. But despite all this work the economics of the process was still not favorable.

Maybe not over-reacted, but over-rehearsed. Your debate produces a clear winner, and may appeal to popular sentiment, but I'm not sure any scientist would associate themselves with either side of it.

Belief in science as an all-encompassing ideology is a minority view among scientists. Scientists are usually careful to stipulate that it's not. My parents were both scientists. They're the ones who took my brothers and me to art museums and concerts, exposed us to religions, literature, the love of the outdoors, and so forth.

Maybe 90% of the public have never met a scientist, making it easy to turn us into the bogeyman.
That's how it was designed, from even back when it was VisualAge and written in SmallTalk.

Eclipse is basically a language-neutral UI "shell", the "Eclipse Tool Platform", where all language/code-related functionality is provided as bundles of extensions. And then extensions can be extended, and so on.

Eventually they standardized the extension system around an extension/component framework called OSGi. Not sure if this new Eclipse IDE uses it.

Ah yes the implied social contract that it's ok because it happens all the time.

That's how society falls.
I worked at Bank Of America for a while on the Quartz platform, which is their Python based clone of SecDB. The lead architect was one of the founders of the Slang/SecDB platform at Goldman. It as great fun to work on. Incredible power at your fingertips.
Here is a simulation I did in response to your comment, this is ~6 million impactors and their on sky velocity as they approach Earth. Dotted black line is our expected detectability limit, anything to the right of that is detectable.
On sky velocity is measured in degrees / day.

The article says spare parts are the issue, not the paint job. That’s kinda weird for a plane with a hot production line, no?
Doing those kind of things brings the opportunity to communicate with someone you may not have otherwise met. It gets you attention.

You still have to talk to them and form a relationship like any other interaction.

For reasons I don’t understand I’m relatively good at making friends. I certainly have a lot of them. Maybe it’s simply because I am genuinely curious about other people and their interests. (A rather unexpected trait for someone who is quite happy hiding in the proverbial parent’s basement.)

I still have a high miss rate. The only way to make friends is meeting people and talking to them. This doesn’t require being in person. Most of my current friends come from the furry community and many of them I met in chat rooms long before I met them in person.
I'm guilty of not reading the article more often than not, but posting the exact link of the article in a comment is next-level.
> That only happens because the govt. in cahoots with NIMBYies restricts new development while we have a rising population.

there is plenty of unused housing inventory. the problem is that people can no longer afford rents.

> When are we going to address the government overregulation problem?

don't worry, the supreme court just overturned the chevron doctrine. hope you weren't for right-to-repair or net neutrality! but pesky "overregulation" right? it's all bad if it comes from "the government."
Victoria Nulland was on a phone call with Geoffrey R. Pyatt (US Ambassador to Ukraine) in 2014.

The phone call was intercepted. They were discussing how to go forward and who to put in power after the coup. They specifically did not want Klitchko in power. Then, she said, f*ck Europe.

All that wiped under the carpet.
J P Morgan and Bank of America have Slang/SecBD clones built by devs hired from Goldman, they both use Python instead of Slang. They’re heavily used for risk management applications and quantitative analysis, among other things.
But we do go to the moon om a regular base. Just not with humans, as robots are cheaper.
The way I've always done it is that it's controlled via labels on PRs. If you want to remove a PR (and by swashing merges). If you want to remove a PR from the changelog, remove the label.
That's just obviously not true, regarding Humboldt Park. It's so not true, it's Google Maps not true. "Humboldt Park t-" literally autocompletes to "tent city" in an incognito window for me. And, like, I drive through there a couple times a week and believe my lying eyes.

Regarding the origin of California homeless people, this is an empirically studied question; you don't have to derive your answer from first principles.

Are we better at getting people off the street than California? Indubitably. But the scale of our problem is, if not per-capita identical, then at least comparable, by the numbers.
I will fight anyone who claims that a beta and an eszett look the same.
This is the typical response to demanding actual action. It's a litany of excuses that both decries ineptitude and at the same time expresses satisfaction with it. It's ridiculous.

Ultimately I hope everyone that shares this sentiment really tries to introspect, read what they write/say, and see how deeply flawed the arguments are. It directly leads to strategic blunders.

In all honesty what does it really take for people to see the reality of their situation?

The left no longer has any will whatsoever, no courage, no real "revolutionary" spirit at all. It is decrepit, meek, and unwilling to change because it's paralyzed by fear (and that's being generous). It has no real political positions that people are demanding, because those political positions are in direct opposition to the majority of the players within the party that claims to represent progressives/left. It doesn't. It's a Conservative Party that has progressive talking points.

That is not how you run anything. That's not how you run politics, that's not even how you live a life. Don't let fear of failure mean complete inaction.

Taking risks is absolutely paramount, otherwise those at the margins willing to take risks, will eventually win out.

From what I got from this, they have picked a bunch of benchmarks where many LLMs can easily get to about 90%. It does not seem to be possible for an LLM to exceed about 95% on any sort of benchmark given the randomness in the process. The lack of progress on these easy problems means that HuggingFace's leaderboard is not as meaningful.

They are sort of saying both things: LLMs are plateauing, but the benchmarks are also too easy.
> who haven't sufficiently increased prices to compensate

Increasing prices doesn't automatically result in more revenue for the business. Customers have choices, and small businesses are the most vulnerable.
> I see they stuffed some AI

Sounds like everything else from everyone else. My EOS R5 does animal facial/eye recognition as much as human, and it's a bit of a leap to go from "emphasize focal points on subjects when you've asked to prioritize those subjects" as "AI gimmicks".

The "gimmick filters" are nothing new for Fuji, which has offered its optional film simulations for most of the X100 range.

I have no dog in this fight (currently I own an R5, a Leica Q2), but latching on to this as "very uninteresting" while studiously ignoring IBIS and a 50% resolution bump to complain about optional filters seems a little ... bitter.
How would that apply to Fortran’s arithmetic IF statement? It goes to one label for a negative value, or to a second label for a zero, or to a third label for positive. A NaN is in none of these categories.
Many small business owners are just so tight on cash flow that trying to raise rent on them is akin to squeezing blood out of a stone.

Fwiw, I know a small business owner who closed his bakery/restaurant because his landlord raised prices and he couldn't find another place where the financials would have worked for him. Raising prices isn't an option if your customers don't accept higher prices.
Think we killed it :(

in this modern day of increased privatized medicine, health insurances and self-absorbed people, what is the incentive to let a person die?

the longer you keep someone with medical needs and decent insurance the more you can milk the their insurance or whatever wealth they may have accumulated.

self-absorbed closed ones can also easily dismiss the sick person desires and needs.

I see no incentive for this to change.
As a counterpoint it is very realistic. If you ever launch a token and run your own telegram channel, all sorts of specialists come out the woodwork with extremely convoluted schemes

been scammed a few times by people that didnt deliver, and had no intention to

both the legit and illegit ones have no references because their clients are all other token projects whose community needs to feel everything happened organically

scammers take advantage of this desire for secrecy

Like, fair. I like the EFF's work a lot, but I think they primarily function on the level of public policy and sometimes mounting strategic legal action, and I was more asking about whether there were ground level orgs in operation, unions, advocacy groups of tech workers, that kind of thing
You are mistaking the sensor size 35mm with lens focal length 35mm. The lens itself is 23mm. The camera has APS-C sensor. The full frame (35mm sensor size) equivalent of the lens+sensor combination is 35mm.

Makes sense, but I also get the feeling that most of those points are only concerns because the forests that are left are so small, small enough that it is possible to entirely burn to the ground or be completely over run be invasive species. If there were 100, 1000, 10000 x the forest coverage we have now, would the concerns and land management strategy be the same?
I wanna develop a marketplace platform
The question is this: I wanna develop a marketplace platform but i don't have technical background. I think I am pretty smart but not sure that smart enough to learn the process quickly and develop the platform myself. At the same time, I feel like it doesn't need that much know how to develop a MVP. If I find a technical co-founder to develop the platform and lose half of the company i am going to feel pretty bad. So what should I do?
The toolkit may be free, but the data is very expensive.
A user can just as easily identify a scam such as the one in this post by also taking 30 seconds to do a web search for some phrasing from the email.

I know I'll sound elitist but introvert or not this doesn't make any difference, the most important part of your network are the people you've worked with already.

If none of them is pinging you at times to see if you're available, you were probably an unremarkable professional or you have extraordinarily bad luck.

It's not a bad thing to be average or mediocre, it's what most of us are, with a very small percentage of great professionals in a classical gaussian distribution.

But people that impressed their former colleagues have queues of jobs lining for them. And that's where most of your focus should go if you want to have a career.
When I wss in USAF, I deeply disliked the radar-absorbent material. The maintenance sucked. Every repair was a tricky, tedious process, that often had to be done twice. OTOH, spare parts were never a problem. But that was during the Cold War.
Change you self talk from "I'm not good at networking" to "I'm not currently good at networking", go read "How to Win Friends and Influence People", then implement a bit of it in your daily life and reap the rewards.
