This is great. In my experience the single biggest thing that allows landlords to take advantage of tenants is the inaccessibility of real estate law. Anything that makes contract terms more easily understandable is a win, as far as I’m concerned.

Linking to a comment I made about dealing with this:

…one time a landlord didn't return the security deposit. I called him, messaged him, left notes in his mailbox. No reply. One month, two months went by. So, I looked up the relevant legal code, found the part that said "landlords have 30 days to return the security deposit with any deductions listed. Failure to do so results in the landlord owing the tenant double the original amount with no deductions." I printed that out, highlighted the relevant section, and mailed him a letter saying that he can return the original deposit amount to me immediately, or I will file at the local court and he'll owe me double. I got a check in the mail two days later.

Having an app point this statue out when signing a contract would be great.
This is just adorable. To think that prospective renters have any negotiating power at all when the landlord typically (in my area anyway) receives triple digit numbers of applications.

Great question and thank you for asking it. I don't know at this point as we're still ramping up. At this point, it would be helpful to follow us on bluesky and mastodon and help spread the word about our efforts.

Great idea. I think that the marketing page is too tech-y. It's got way too many details, uses terms like agents etc. The average joe doesn't know or care what an ai agent is, and it's not gonna help sell your product.

I would focus less on verbose feature lists and pivot to some real world examples reflecting the capabilities of the tool. This person saved $150/mo, this person was able to keep their pet, etc.

Best thing you could do is ditch the enter your email blob and instead allow a user to upload their PDF/doc lease and then give them a teaser/sample of what they have in store if they proceed. "we found 3 issues with your lease, 2 laws being broken, 1 fee that is illegal, etc"

I am still super disappointed about HTTP/3 in Rust. AFAICT there was a working HTTP/3 implementation in Rust over 6 years ago, but they (quinn crate) then literally yanked their entire version history from Cargo in order to wait for h3 which proceeded to take about three years (minus three days...) to even show up. I don't know the status of h3 today but that whole thing made me incredibly upset at the time. That having happened also makes me get annoyed again every time someone points out that Rust still doesn't have a very good HTTP/3 implementation, because I get reminded of the implementation from over 6 years ago that practically got retconned out of existence for this.

(I guess though that quiche has been an option if you like to write Rust like it's C.)

The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart is definitely one, as well as a bunch of the "big epics" like the Malazan empire / The annals of the Black Company?

It may be less common than "high castles", but that is either because of opportunity cost (non-special characters do not survive well this kind of world, so their stories are either short or picaresque) or feature creep if they start from the bottom: if you want an uplifting tale, upwards mobility is needed and at some point only the king is up...
While I get that there are use cases for physical media, as both a data hoarder and data paranoiac (good things in my line of work), I've moved on. It's the data that matters, not the media.

To that end, I have automated two separate, but complementary, processes for my personal data:

- Sync to multiple machines, at least one of which is offsite, in near realtime. This provides rapid access to data in the event of a disk/system/building/etc failure. Use whatever software you want (Dropbox, Resilio, rsync scripts, etc), but in the event of failure, this solves 99% of my issues - I have another device that has fast access to my most recent data, current to within seconds. This is especially important when bringing up a new, upgraded system - just sync over the LAN. (Currently this is 4 devices, 2 offsite, but it flexes up/down over time occassionally).

- Backup to multiple cloud providers on a regular cadence (I do hourly encrypted incrementals). This protects me against data loss, corruption, malware attacks, my stupidity deleting something, etc. This solves the remaining 1% of my issues, enabling point-in-time recovery for any bit of data in my past, stretching back many years. I've outsourced the "media" issue to the cloud providers in this case, so they handle whatever is failing, and the cost is getting pretty absurdly cheap for consumers, and will continue to do so. My favorite software is Arq Backup, but there are lots of options. (Currently this is 4 discrete cloud providers, and since this is non-realtime typically, utilizes coldest storage options available).

Between these two complimentary, fully automated approaches, I no longer have to worry about the mess of media failure, RAID failures, system failures, human error, getting a new system online, cloud provider being evil, etc etc.
We can at least agree that the working class would be on the receiving end of the worst of the consequences for any flavor of economic downsizing, just like they have been during every other recession, market crash, etc. to date. I would however like to suggest not letting yourself get distracted by the fact that the two lines kinda wiggle similarly. That massive and growing pie slice where the two decoupled is absolutely the larger issue.
Isn't Rust too low level for regular back end development, let alone the front end? I don't get the appeal, and I think it would be hard to hire for.

The idea that the US border is not being defended is a huge lie. Another lie is that its possible to defend the US border. The US border is huge and US unlike Ukraine is not being invaded. Immigrants coming over the border are harder to track then groups of tanks. We spend and arguably waste billions on billions of dollars on border security in america with nothing or negative results. That's not because of some nefarious pro immigrant agenda its because practically the border isn't securable.

As for Ukraine, discouraging Russian aggression is in the intrest of America

The local external backups certainly are. S3 Deep Archive is about one evening to set up rclone and set up a regular job to run a backup.

If you don't need Linux support you can also pay Backblaze a flat fee for an easy solution, at a slightly higher price.
> to think that prospective renters have any negotiating power at all when the landlord typically (in my area anyway) receives triple digit numbers of applications

For new-lease negotiation, you're right. For renewal, in my experience, New York City landlords happily made small edits if given a good reason. (While the larger companies usually can't change their boilerplate documents, they're almost always fine adding a rider.)
Of course not. I donated a bunch of money years ago and now I find they're spending way too little on programming and way too much on admin stuff. All they have to do is invest their money in the bank in some safe mechanism and fire 90% of admin staff.

'I have a stockpile':ULA CEO says ofrocket backlog awaitingnext launch
Are you kidding me? Most laws in liberal cities where this might be true are so tenant skewed that I downright don't want the risk of them doing the "squat and take 6+ months to be evicted but not before trashing the place" routine. No thank you. I'll be a landlord in some red state where I can rely on the power of rich capitalists to make sure that squatters spend their time in jail/prison instead of moving onto yet another owner to fleece.

That's just adorable - to think that landlords have power in a place like Seattle or Portland or SF.

So... WHOIS is now JSON over HTTP. I guess that's reasonable.
But this warrants the sample application to need a gazillion crates why exactly?
This is because most of the non-technical retail customers don't value reliability too much. They want more capacity and good speed at the lowest price point. Hence the proliferation of QLC / MLC NVMe drives with a small SLC write cache. It's not very stable, and it can only keep the write speed high for small files, but hey, you can get a terabyte for $50, and it loads the latest game real fast!

Similarly, many users don't have much valuable, unique data on their computers. The most important stuff very often lives completely in the cloud, where it's properly backed up, etc.

Also, the most ubiquitous computing device now is a smartphone. It has all the automatic backup stuff built in, you can put an SD card into it, and it will transparently extend the free space, without hassle. Even on PCs, MS and Apple nudge the users very prominently to use OneDrive and Apple Cloud for backing up their desktops / laptops. But past certain size, it costs money though, hence many people opt out of that. Again, because most people value the lowest price, and just hope for the best; because what could ever happen?

Silent data corruption can still be an issue, but, frankly, malware is a much bigger threat for a typical non-technical user.

Technical people have no trouble setting up all that: mount your disks under LVM, run ZFS on top of it, set up multiple backups, set up their own "magic wormhole" to share files with stranger easily. But they know why they are doing that.

Educating users about IT hygiene is key for improving it, much like educating people about the dangers of not washing hands, or of eating unhealthy stuff, helped improve their health.

thanks for the feedback :)

our main target for "performance" value proposition are companies and businesses which will setup HPKV either locally (Enterprise plan) for nanosecond performance or in the cloud provider of their choosing, and working via RIOC API (Business Plan), getting ~15 microsecond range over network. however you're totally right, that doesn't really matter much if you're using it REST or WebSocket. for Pro tier, our value proposition is still the fastest managed KV store (you still get <80 ms for writes with a ~30ms ping to our servers) and features such as bi-directional WS, Atomic operations and Range Scans on top basic operations.

but given your comment, I think we should perhaps rethink how we're presenting the product. thanks for the feedback again :)
They don’t want to leave the EU like the UK, they want to keep Schengen open trading zone but remove or reform the not elected EU parliament which makes laws for all EU countries.
The main argument is that they are going to far with the regulations and harming the member states and whole EU as a consequence.

Trump is so chaotically aggressive that it is easy to imagine this going very poorly.
Most tenants negotiating renewal aren't going to squat. The leverage a renewing tenant has is the information asymmetry in the new-tenant market (landlord might sub out an on-time rent payer for a squatter) and friction of establishing a new lease. That's preserved in red states and blue.

AI generated testimonials. AI's constant need to create fake quotes and testimonials is one of the most annoying things when using AI to help create landing pages. I constantly am removing them.
You both are talking about two different types of power. You're talking about tenancy rights, the parent was talking about contract negotiation power. In many big cities, tenants have a good number of rights after they've signed a contract and become a tenant. But they still have little power to negotiate the contract before they have become one.

Another one that in my opinion distinguishes the scene behaviour from the classical copyright system is that the latter allows the copyright holder to use the state violence to squeeze out damage payment from copyright infringers.

You forgot to mention that Miguel de Icaza was probably the single biggest .NET fanboy for literally decades before throwing in the towel. The fact that a person like this ended up being alienated tells volumes.

I should also add that the general public only saw the tip of the iceberg in this entire episode. Miguel spent a lot of time and effort internally trying to right the .NET ship, gradually escalating through management until he finally gave up.

Just a guess but this looks like politically powerful dev culture overwriting cybersecurity culture, demanding, thus getting an exception from management for 'productivity' and 'being agile.'

I dont think we appreciate how much of a wild west things are with the incredible mix of hugely complex and powerful tools available trivially to developers and the concept of "move fast, break things."

Especially as corporate sees devs like they see salesmen (big moneymakers who deserve perks, exceptions) and top-down security culture as a cost center.

The other buried ledes are that postgres allows emojis (not sure if that's intended but it works) and that you can just run system commands and scripts directly from postgres cli. I imagine a lot of eyes are going to be on new hardening guidelines for postgres now.

There are simply things outside your control (yes you) and they can financially ruin you. A bad interaction with the law, cancer, a recession. The line between stability and homelessness is narrow and not entirely due to bad life choices.

I have a child with severe autism. They'll never be able to be a "productive member of society" and one of my biggest fears is what happens when I'm gone. I have to save up enough money not just for my own retirement and care but also theirs. That's a narrow tightrope to walk.

Especially because I know that statistically my child is one of the more likely people to end up homeless.

I have a financial bus factor of basically 1 which will destroy not only my life but also my child's life.
Addendum: having `Expression`[0] type representing the expression tree is a really killer feature.

To be honest, I’ve been using Rust on the backend for two years now and I’ve been loving it. It’s reliable and fast, minimal memory footprint and you don’t even have to be a Rust expert if you’re not trying to squeeze every single bit of performance from your system.

I have no idea what you mean. The executive branch didn't routinely ignore court orders and disregard the constraints set out in the Constitution before that date. The government broke laws, but it was a scandal when it did and people -- the perpetrators, not random civil servants doing the jobs they were hired to do -- got fired for it and sometimes jailed. Now it's just another day that ends in y.

In theory Biden could have taken the SCOTUS grant of immunity to disregard the Constitution as Musk and Trump are doing, but he didn't. Trump's taking power was a step change.

We still have laws, but the executive branch under Musk/Trump regards them as mere words on a page. They bind others, not them.
