This is nonsense. I mean, I WFH now but when I worked outside the home there was a pattern of

1) UPS guy tries to deliver package
2) nobody is home, because it is 1PM
3) I have to go to UPS distribution center to pick it up

Finally I got them to just leave the package in the first place, but it took awhile.

Nobody steals packages off the porch, because I don't live in a shithole.
TypeScript is overly complicated and for what? Compile-time "safety". It's better than plain JavaScript, though whatever library I pull as a dependency and peek inside the TypeScript<>JavaScript interface glue, I always find horrors beyond my comprehension.
Thanks JM. Long time back, and lotsa changes.

This wasn’t a contributor to OpenSSH, it was a deep level supply chain attack - something that closed source commercial companies are not immune to.

Given how much closed source companies love BSD/apache/etc licenses where they can simply use these low level libraries and charge for stuff on the top I’m not sure how they would be immune from such an attack.

The risk from this was highlighted in xkcd back in 2020

So in other words, it directly benefits the state but not the individual.

By buying uninsured "cowboy" tokens, you're basically giving the state a loan at a 0% rate? I bet conspiracy theorists who don't trust government will be all in on this.

Once these conpiracy nuts figure it all out in a few years, this will only further validate their viewpoint.

So I guess the state run lottery just wasn't enough of a rip off.

cmov turns a control dependency into a data dependency. It is still there just in a different way. (its like the Fourier Transform of instructions - lolol).

I haven't seen cmov lose to a conditional in a few years (on very recent Intel hardware). Maybe there might be some circumstances where in creates a loop carried dependency that wrecks the optimizer, but I haven't seen one in a minute.

To be fair - cmov versions often involve some extra compution to get things in a form where cmov can be used, and I often just opt for the well predicted conditional since those couple extra instructions to set up the value to move can be avoided.
Impressive! :)

As the famous quote goes, you are free to choose, but you aren't free to choose what you choose.

Unpacking: assuming you aren't coerced, you choose one of N options "freely". But all the factors (many inscrutable) that contribute to the ultimate choice are predetermined from your biology to all your lived experience (which ultimately is encoded in your brain in some manner).

There's two major companies in the area that rent out apartments.

I rented from one a few years back. In my unit, there were 12 apartments (I think). IIRC, four per floor, with three floors. I believe there were 8 to 12 units surrounding a common area in our "block". Then this "block" was a part of a larger group of complexes and in the area, they had five or six of these groups.

That's around 50 - 100 units.

They also had other locations. They probably manage at least 1000 units.

The other company manages fewer, but not by much.

If RealPage gets both of them, they've effectively set the prices for all apartments in the area.
More tobacco, but the share of non-smokers with lung cancer has been increasing lately (probably because less people smoke). Estimated 10-20%. "“If lung cancer in never-smokers were a separate entity, it would be in the top 10 cancers in the U.S.” for both incidence and mortality."[0]

It's unfortunate that the solution to cloud pricing complexity that all providers are adopting is – add even more complexity on top.

The number you see on your bill is increasingly calculated by running some black box algorithm on top of the billing events your resources generate. Was it accidental or not? What is a "weird" deployment vs a normal deployment? By what factor should the spikes on your billing graph be smoothened? None of this can be deterministically calculated from the pricing page. And there's no way for you to do these checks yourself before deployment because you have no idea what this logic even is. So you are entirely at the mercy of the provider for "forgiveness".

Who wants to bet that some provider is going to launch "AI cloud billing" within the next year?
I think you’re presuming elastic supply, where you can make up the lost profit from undercutting by selling more units.

Real estate supply isn’t very elastic, and demand already outpaces supply. Your units will likely get rented, as long as you aren’t in the top 0.1% of prices.

Therefore your incentive is to maximize profit per unit since you can’t move more units. Your incentive is to also join in on price fixing, because it’s the only way to make more money.

Supply outpacing demand would cause this to dissolve, as landlords actually have to compete for tenants and the highest priced landlords have empty apartments.
Yeah, there is that psychology at work. Would be interested in seeing some numbers on it.

Makes me wonder how much performance Windows is leaving on the table with its primitive support for large pages. It does support them, but it doesn't coalesce pages transparently like Linux does, and explicitly allocating them requires special permissions and is very likely to fail due to fragmentation if the system has been running for a while. In practice it's scarcely used outside of server software which immediately grabs a big chunk of large pages at boot and holds onto them forever.

Wikipedia indicates most of these Council Homes were built in the early 1900's - and are not modern construction. An additional average of a around 100 homes total were built per year from the 40's through 1980. So these don't appear to be helping a significant portion of the population.

Wikipedia also indicates in the 1970's the UK government dramatically and suddenly cut back on funding for these homes (among other things), which led to some very poor living conditions.

I wish I understood the root cause of why places like SF and Oakland have given up on policing.

Is it an ideological thing (think Chesa Boudin & co), where keeping people accountable for antisocial behavior is considered a form of oppression from a more fortunate class? Or is it more of an issue with there being too much bureaucracy to be able to push any change to policing through? Or are the voters simply too eager to continue this existing self-own, and will vote for more restorative justice as the cost of their own quality of life?

The pattern seems to repeat across a lot of the more desirable parts of California like San Francisco and Santa Monica, and I wish I understood it better. Everybody's got their hot take.

I haven’t seen any incredible outcomes from them, but I think they can be nice if they’re low key with no real expectation of productization. Definitely shouldn’t be any “prizes”.

The best uses of hackathons I’ve seen are for experimenting with things that will have a direct workflow improvement for your team/org. You’re not gonna impact the company product roadmap with a hackathon project. If you do, it’ll feel lame because it’ll be a product manager lifting your concept and throwing away the implementation.

I’ve spent hackathons getting team members together and working on things like a bootloader rewrite, toolchain improvements, adding that one API to our SDK that I really wanted personally, etc. Stuff that’s hard to find time to work on day-to-day, but can be marketed internally and if it works out, merged to immediately improve things for your team.
OpenSSH, as load-bearing infrastructure for much of the Internet, is heavily sponsored by tech companies.

I never bought his "I did it for the people" narrative his followers

He got a 96% haircut shortly after buying X. Now whether this was organized/planned I don't know (if it was then it needs to be addressed/discovered in court).

Tesla is struggling and his repeated disregard for securities law (probably thinking the MIC/SpaceX/Starlink will protect him from prison) is catching up with him.

With X liquidiation and Tesla securities fraud looming/flailing revenues around the corner, it could impact his tenure at his MIC ventures.

His support for Trump is also disingenuous and he doesn't really care for America he just wants a get out of jail insurance and taxpayer bailouts for not if but when Tesla comes under fire.

The pay-to-influence scheme with X Premium also has been nothing but disappointing in terms of revenues. Ad revenues are the life and blood of social media platforms, nothing else works.

Whoever buys X will be performing arbitrage essentially: The company was worth $50 billion roughly 3 years ago. It's worth somewhere around $4 or $3 billion realistically right now. If they can clean up the platform and lure back the advertisers which is very doable and re-IPO it would be a massive win.

If your rental is $2400, and it sits on the market for 2 months, you lost potentially lost $4800. It would take a huge rent increase to justify that.

It's one thing if the software is helping landlords jack up prices to the market rate. It's quite another to convince them to collude against their best interests.

A key problem with rent pricing is that a form of price fixing is imposed by fair housing law in a way that educated folks know how to circumvent, but many do not.

When a lease is advertised at X price, it is not legal to offer one monthly price to one tenant and a different one to another, so no negotiating can occur. This also allows smart landlords to price fix without software because all rates are known since the posted rate is the rate. This inhibits true price discovery.

The cheat code is to ask for free months and spread that discount over the lease term. However, this creates a situation where, at the end of the lease, the landlord has you set at the regular month price (or higher), and you have little leverage. Also your good deal is unknown to others who will continue to overpay.

Attacking a software is an easy out, attacking the system that artificially increases rents in the whole system by outlawing more aggressive tenant negotiation is the hard problem.
Seattle thought about doing that but reactionaries framed it as defunding the police department so they elected a more conservative council who moved it back.

>its economy is only about the same size as that of Italy

You've been fooled by your geriatric politicians.

"In the realm of foreign policy discourse, few memes have been more prevalent or misleading than the oft-cited comparison of Russia’s economy to that of Italy’s.

...

Yet error in this comparison lies in the reliance on measuring nominal GDP itself, as it fails to account for exchange rates and purchasing power parity (PPP), which accounts for the standard of living and productivity (and from there, per capita welfare and, importantly, resource use). Renowned French economist Jacques Sapir has pointed out the inadequacy of this metric, arguing that Russia’s GDP, when measured in PPP ($3.74 trillion in 2013, $4.81 trillion in 2021), is closer to Germany’s ($3.63 trillion in 2013, $4.85 trillion in 2021) than Italy’s ($2.19 trillion in 2013, $2.74 trillion in 2021). This is a crucial distinction, and it is both puzzling and troubling that so many continue to parrot the Russia-Italy comparison.

But even the PPP figures do not fully capture the significance of Russia’s economic power. Sapir further expanded his analysis in an essay for American Affairs, a policy journal, and noted that the PPP measurement “may not yet reflect the real importance of the Russian [economy] when strategic, geopolitical issues are at stake.”

Sapir notes that, over the past fifty years, Western economies have become increasingly dominated by service sectors, which, while contributing to GDP calculations, lose their importance during times of conflict. In such situations, it is the production of physical goods that matters, and by this measure, Russia’s economy is not only stronger than Germany’s but also more than twice as robust as France’s. Furthermore, Russia’s dominant position in the global energy and commodities trade—as it is a key producer of oil, gas, platinum, cobalt, gold, nickel, phosphates, iron, wheat, barley, buckwheat, oats, and more—provides it with substantial leverage over markets and economies, making it less susceptible to sanctions and less easily cowed by Western pressure.
