>IIRC, a property sells mostly for the value of the land with the expectation that the house will be a tear down and that there isn't much restoration and rehab

This is somewhat outdated. People buy used properties all the time; it's not the 80s any more, and people don't have money to waste tearing down houses after 10 years, and people move around from time to time because of work etc. It is true that used houses depreciate, though, over a 40+ year time span, but the land in desirable areas (e.g. Tokyo) generally appreciates.

>it seems like they aren't built with permanence in mind.

That's exactly the same as in America, worse actually. Have you been in an American house built in the last 50 years? They're poorly made, by unskilled labor after being designed by people with no formal education. Japanese houses by contrast are designed by architects and engineers and made to withstand extremely strong earthquakes (required by strict building codes). They generally aren't made to look luxurious, however, so you won't find granite countertops and other stuff like that that American houses tend to add to try to look like mansions (i.e. McMansions), and tend to use a lot of pre-fab materials that are quick to assemble.

>Japanese houses I've been in have been ice boxes with little insulation and a large dependence on portable heaters.

It sounds like you only visited houses built in the last millennium. Mold is a big, big problem in many parts of the country so ventilation tends to be prioritized over insulation, and energy efficiency hasn't been much of a concern until more recent years.

We slept outside under the stars. It wasn't for tourists, it was part of an actual religious ceremony. I didn't speak the language so I didn't get a lot out of the actual ceremony.

But I believe the experience on the drug would translate nicely if you were being pampered. You're going to confront every demon you've ever had, so being comfy might be nice.

However, you have to overdo it a sufficient number of times when you’re still inexperienced, in order to gain the experience of when it’s worth it and when it’s not. You have to make mistakes in order to learn from them.
Hmm, feels like the article could have been so much longer.. it's a pretty cool topic. Sadly, all the 1-or-2-sentence paragraphs makes it feel like a Goosebumps novel or something. Really awkward presentation.
The American Southwest, especially the Sonoran Desert, was once a refuge for those who suffered respiratory ailments. Doctors would "prescribe" a change of scenery for allergies, asthma, tuberculosis, COPD, etc. People moved here because there was so little pollen in cleaner air, due to sparse population, as well as the lack of grass and other conventional foliage.

However we also have a little feature we lovingly call "Valley Fever" which is a fungus, spread mostly by dust storms. As more Midwestern folks immigrated here, and the Snowbirds set up shop, they all wanted traditional lawns, trees, and golf courses, just like "back home". So by the 1980s-1990s, Phoenix was barely differentiated from Chicago or Kansas in terms of front yards.

Now, those gardens definitely kept things cool in a local area. They needed things like flood-irrigation, so deep water often covers lawns. Deciduous or even evergreen trees can afford a lot of shade where you really, really need it. Unfortunately, monsoon microbursts often topple those kinds of trees, which have shallow roots in impoverished, sandy soils.

Ironically, due to lack of water, and Greta Thunberg, we're reverting to desert landscapes (called xeriscape) and so the new urban domestic hotness here is to install little "drip irrigation" tubes, palo verde, cactus, succulents, yucca, etc. Needless to say, they don't provide enough shade, and the humidity stays quite low.

Phoenicians today are clamoring for more artificial shelter and shade. Bus stops here are works of art with elaborate means of warding off the daytime heat. The city centers are still "heat islands" with murderous temperature increases during summertime ("summertime" in Phoenix lasts from March through October...)

Microts!
I plan on buying one for exactly that use-case. I have a mini 5 that's showing its age and doesn't have enough storage (downloading flying charts takes up a surprising amount of space) and I didn't want to upgrade to the mini 6 considering how long in the tooth it was getting. The mini 7 isn't some massive improvement, but it's improvement enough in a very good niche for flying.

Edit: For the non-pilots reading this, it's also worth noting that the most popular flying app by far for general aviation at least, ForeFlight, is iOS only. So your choices are generally small iPad or big iPad, and a lot of people don't like big iPad in a small airplane cockpit.
Distribution map website of top universities in the United States is now live
I recently developed a website featuring a distribution map of top universities in the United States. The data is sourced from the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2025.

The website defaults to displaying the top-ranked university in the U.S. Users can interact with buttons or keyboard shortcuts to switch to the next ranked university.

This site provides *students preparing to study abroad and those already overseas* with a *geographical overview* of university distribution in the U.S. For example, by clicking through 10 times, users can gain efficient insights into the distribution of the top 10 universities: the 1st is located in Illinois, the 3rd on the West Coast, and the 6th on the East Coast.

wow they make it impressively hard to contact them.
All of this shit is stupid. Research has pretty conclusively shown at this point that a high proportion of calories coming from saturated fat specifically will raise LDL cholesterol levels, in people who have neither genetic predisposition toward low or high LDL. If you have one of those, it won't make a difference either way.

Whether that leads to actual heart disease is iffier, but not terribly controversial among cardiologists as far as I can tell. It's only doubted on the Internet where everyone wants to be a galaxy brain with some answer the doctors don't want you to know.

But nobody ever demonized fat in general, and demonizing carbs is just as stupid. Eating enormous amounts of carbs is fine as long as you actually use them. My daily calories right now are around 3,900 with carbs at 650 grams a day, a fair amount being syrups I eat early in the morning while running. If you listened to the Internet, you'd believe I was diabetic already, yet basically every remotely serious endurance athlete eats like this and is fine. Glucose that is continuously and immediately shuttled into muscle cells to power mitochondria and provide energy for movement does no harm whatsoever. It's roughly the entire point of animal metabolism. Glucose that sits around in your blood forever because you're sitting around staring at a screen for 16 hours a day while stuffing your face is what causes problems because of all the oxidizing effects of glucose when it isn't taken apart quickly and turned into ATP.

My BMI is 21.6 for what it's worth. As far as I can tell, the whole "mystery" behind why no diets work is because no diet can magically make people eat less when they spend the overwhelming majority of their time not moving and hunger decouples from energy expenditure. If you're sufficiently active as a lifelong athlete, every diet works. I ate super sized McFlurries, entire boxes of Entenmann's donuts, and Little Debbie's treats as a teenager as staples of my diet. As an adult, I've tried paleo, zone, mediterranean. Right now, I pretty much just eat the standard American food pyramid. None of these has managed to magically poison my brain or destroy my metabolism because metabolic function can be trained just like any other bodily function and it is trained by doing regular athletic activity with a high energy demand. Just like your muscles atrophy if you never do any resistance training, your metabolism atrophies if you never do any aerobic exercise.

I can't claim to know the secret to weight loss but I know how to never get fat in the first place. On every team I was ever on from middle school to college to my time in the Army, whether that be cross country, track, volleyball, basketball, tennis, or general outdoor adventurism and long-haul hiking with a weighted pack, the overweight rate was never 0 but it sure as shit wasn't 70%. And we were all eating the same "poisons" and manufactured foods from evil Nestle that the rest of you were eating.
Another good reason not to use perplexity
This is absolutely the US pushing Canada for these events. The whole thing was probably spied on by the five eyes and it's very secretive nature makes it impossible for evidence to be released.

India has been asking for evidence for more than a year.

Surprisingly, India ordered around 32 drones for 3 billion dollars; probably to pacify the US.

Modi should know that the only reason he was being courted was because relationships broke down with Russia and China.

US is trying desperately to make sure that India doesn't strengthen relationships with these two either bilaterally or via BRICS.

Modi is through the looking glass and I hope he is smart enough to know that.

RFK Jr. is mentally ill, he dumped a dead bear in Central Park, that doesn’t say sane to me. The fact that he is all over the place in ideology isn’t that interesting.

Hippies are more of a boomer thing, and they are aging out rapidly. You could say these things in the 80s with a straight face, but in the 2020s? The conspiracy theory crowd is firmly rooted into the right these days, which includes anti vaxism and anti fluoride.

But seriously, the LDS church was against fluoride before it was cool in the right to be against fluoride. So if we just look at them (and they have lots of influence in western states), it’s always been a right wing position.
We have a retractable on our south-facing patio door/window near San Jose and it's made a huge difference in terms of heat rejection after we installed it. On hot summer days it makes a noticeable difference. And since it's retractable it doesn't make the back room permanently dark. It's one of the major items that lets us survive a south bay summer without air conditioning. We'll probably upgrade our gas furnace to a heat pump eventually and get AC "free" but in the meantime this was a much cheaper stopgap.
I self-host so that I can set the addresses to whatever I want it to be. I use the ISP's server for sending and my own server for receiving (this can be configured with Exim).

Then, if I receive some spam messages, I can delete an alias that I don't want, in order to avoid receiving any messages.

(When someone sends to an invalid alias, the SMTP server gives them a 550 error.)

Oh, good to know.

Back when I played the most prized ones were steel ball bearings, which the NCO engineers filched them from the RAF Vulcan bombers. Us flight officers kids didn't get access to this stuff.

Somewhat interesting factoid (so I am told - be interested to see a real source), ball bearings were packed into the RAF nuclear weapons to prevent horrible accidents if the aircraft crashed (which quite a few did) - tales of crew skidding around on the tarmac after the balls were dumped after arming the weapon were not unheard of, but probably legend.
I think this sounds accurate. And, on the surface, there's nothing wrong with a modernized, glorified IRC network, but it should be obvious to anyone here that this is utterly useless as a store of useful information that can be archived and indexed and searched by others later. It's like two guys sitting next to each other at a bar and striking up a conversation, and one tells the other a great tip he figured out for how to fix a very particular issue with his car. That's nice, but the other guy just got lucky he met someone with this knowledge, and all the other people with that same issue are out of luck and won't learn this valuable nugget of info because there's no record of it anywhere.
I think this looks incredible. Like how does one create a compatible abi _for all of linux_??? Wow!

> utilize the more productive Rust programming language

Nitpick: it’s 2024 and these ‘more productive’ comparisons are silly, completely unscientific, And a bit of a red flag for your project: The most productive language for a developer is the one they understand what is happening one layer below the level of abstraction they are working with. Unless you’re comparing something rating Ruby vs RiscV assembly, it’s just hocus-pocus.

Fixing instance types was probably wrong.

You’re getting progressively legacy (and more likely to be degraded) hardware. This impacts how tightly packed the instance type as a whole is, which impacts launch instance performance
Redox has a proper architecture, aka microkernel multiserver.

Thus it is a much more interesting project.
It's likely they're repurposing slightly older display inventory to preserve margins, recoup R&D costs and to bring overall component costs lower since this is meant to be a cheaper device.
Thanks for the comment.
I'm glad that this work help other people as well!

Also, plan on improving it over time with other features.
> staunch resistance

Why?
Apple is undeniably a premium product for consumers, and its OSes get the halo effect from that. Whether they're "premium" to develop or even use for is an entirely different question.
> Most of the modern "dumbphones" (or "feature phones") would do this just fine for you.

Assuming you use something like WhatsApp, Facebook or something alike. Modern "feature phones" include built-in applications for messaging and calling, and you generally can't install anything custom on them.
> “The drinking and cooking water for the Tikal rulers and their elite entourage almost certainly came from the Palace and Temple Reservoirs,” wrote Lentz and his colleagues. “As a result, the leading families of Tikal likely were fed foods laced with mercury at every meal.”

This makes me think: what if today's rulers are being poisoned by something making them act like idiots?
People like to spend 1 minute looking at a product and pretend they've done a market analysis by only looking at their own consumption patterns or those of their very close group of people around them combined with some stereotypes like "people use tablets for media consumption" (and never do anything else on them in between).

I come at it more from the angle of quality culture. I have been in big companies and small ones, and my experience is that quality is a function of engineering culture and structure, not funding.

Similarly, very few companies intentionally cut corners and trade quality risk for profit. Instead, they become bad at understanding, managing, and communicating quality risk. It is a type of governance problem, but a much more nuanced one than simple greed. Afterall, quality is a tool to ensure profits. Instead, I think it often a story of bad hiring, botched policy changes, and slow decay of organizational competency. Often times, this is the direct result of trying to throw dumb money at a problem.

Is this the reason why the US is involved with this case or does the US just like to charge people for committing crimes not related to them?

"Aging" in the context of "defeating aging" refers to the phenomena of declining metabolism and deteriorating genetic data.

Wrinkling skin, graying hair, loss of muscle mass and bone density, loss of mental acuity, decline of libido, late-life diseases (eg: cancer, Alzheimer's, type-2 diabetes), and so on.

It's scientifically proven that our bodies spend enormous amounts of energy up into our 20s when we reach sexual maturity and then glide through on momentum through our 30s into our 40s when we are raising our children.

Once we're in our late 40s to early 50s we're done spawning new life and our bodies throw in the towel, starting the slow but inevitable deterioration culminating in death.

It's that whole physical process that we as a species want to overcome, we want to defy being just machines for spawning more machines. Life is fucking evil.

Growing wiser from more and more life experiences is also part of aging, but it's not what we refer to when we say "defeat aging".
Lol. I am Malaysian Chinese but I honestly don't think anyone will put into production a Chinese made kernel. The risk is too high, same as no one will use a Linux distro coming out of Russian, Iran or NK. It's just cultural bias in the west.

Hilarious site but a little unjustified. Out of those, only Valence is a real "this already exists" argument. There's 7 total and the first 3 are dead and the latest 3 (incl pumpkin) are all 2024. And all of the 2024 ones explicitly differentiate themselves from Valence which is more of a framework that focuses on modularity. These latest 3 all look like healthy competitors that are all amicable towards each other

I know children who study with their iPad minis and prefer them over notebooks. This isn’t necessarily a pro-Apple statement, but rather a reflection on how different user groups may engage with devices in ways that are cognitively distinct from what we discuss here on HN.

There are also comments here about specific use cases, like pilots using tools such as ForeFlight. While this kind of usage may not drive overall demand, it highlights how certain groups find unique value in the iPad mini for their specialized needs.
"Published early" = someone accidentally made their Q3 financial results publicly available through their website a day before the official date.

When it's worth it and when it's not seems to be more of a business question for the product owner. It's all opinion.

I've been on a where I had 2 weeks left and they didn't want me working on anything high priority during that time so it wouldn't be half finished when I left. I had a couple small stories I was assigned. Then I decide to cherrypick the backlog to see how much tech debt I could close for the team before I left. I cleared something like 11 stories out of 100. I was then chewed out by the product owner because she "would have assigned [me] other higher priority stories". But the whole point was that I wasn't suppose dto be on high priority tasks because I'm leaving...
You seem to be totally overlooking the fact we had a major once a century or so event—the Pandemic. Purchasing power is quickly recovering, birth rates have been down for decades, life expectancies are only down because of covid and quickly returning to where they were before, young people will do fine and adjust, or if they vote they can get more populist policies on the books rather than wring their hands over it. When people realize it’s the 99% vs 1% they will do quite a bit better.

>x86 is going to stick around for a long time

It won't. Due to its licensing, x86 does not stand a chance against RISC-V.

Especially not after Apple, Microsoft and others (e.g. Box64) have demonstrated ability to run x86 code elsewhere reasonably well, thus providing a clear migration path.

These actions by AMD and Intel are seen as a desperate attempt to keep x86-64 relevant. As non-x86 hardware increasingly shows up and runs legacy code with little issue, x86 is doomed.
