I think government incentive should focus on changing this, as I attempt to describe in https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=AYBABTME#29087565 Basically, this is somewhere I think govt. _constructive/supportive_ int

My personal opinion is that governments should provide a backstop guarantee for tenants, to bear the risk instead of forcing landlords into making cruel choices. I think it'd make sense. It's beneficial to govt. to keep people pro

Depending where you live, if you attend some landlord association meetings, or read any popular literature about real estate investing, you'll see that this is basically what happens. The common advice is to try to bring your units hig

The problem is that the increased risk profile is indeed taken into account by landlords... it makes them retreat higher up market, depleting affordable housing supplies.

Sure, but I think this sort of grandstanding doesn't serve the conversation well. We're talking about realistic, incremental policy changes here. The kind of stuff that hopefully solves the problem at hand while limiting the blast

I think the main issue is not whether "good" landlords are affected, but the impact it has on the market. If renting to regular people is a huge liability, the smart landlords will prefer keeping units vacant or bring them up high

If from the Coinbase IPO, you just got out of lockout and you're new to that amount of money. You're probably still near 100% invested in Coinbase and need to divest into something more diversified and less volatile than Coinbase

Not sure how it is today, but I felt DigitalOcean had the right mix pre-pandemic: 50% onsite and 50% remote. We could choose which we wanted as time went, and remotes could fly in and work from the office about once per quarter. This allowe

The idea is to return to a fish shell, but with all the env-vars that bash might have loaded as a result of executing the script.

That doesn't give you the env vars that the script might have set.

I'm not super versed in Rust and the readme didn't seem to mention: can this be used as a pure library/package, i.e embedded in a Rust host program and used to execute arbitrary code in isolation?

The trick is to enter bash from fish, run your command, and then call fish again. (fish)$ bash (fish>bash)$ source ./random.sh (fish>bash)$ fish (fish>bash>fish)$

It's the same idea as designing hardware for repairability. Sure you can repair something that's welded on, but it's much easier if it's bolted through instead.

Advice on legitimately adding this to your house in a DIY manner? Or is it the kind of stuff you 100% need to hire licensed folks for legal reasons? I built offgrid systems for boats but now I'm considering doing my house.

Nope, that's probably LiPo you're thinking of. LiFePO4 doesn't catch fire much.

I think the US has won a lot more from all this than it lost. It exported low margin work abroad and kept high margin activities local. In doing so, it also attracted the world's best talent to immigrate and start enriching US companie

I'm always shocked seeing how little money an individual (private person or even politicians!) will require to be corrupted or do some awful, future hampering act. 30k$ for nuclear secrets? I've read O(100k) for corrupt high offic

Wave height/sea state is notoriously difficult to present on video in a way that renders justice. I think it's due to lack of gimbal and probably focal length vs. field of view, and lack of depth perception.

I made a similar game a few years ago while in undergrad: https://github.com/aybabtme/bomberman Nowhere as polished or ambitious, but it just came to mind. Bomberman is a fun game!

The concept of ownership manifests itself if there exists entities (or agents) and limited set of resources to share between entities. An entity owns a resource if it can assert control over it and deny control over it to others. It's

I don't _need_ screen readers in so far as I can still read with my eyes, but I can read content quite a lot faster with it, and finish reading stuff I otherwise wouldn't, using spoken text instead.

Isn't that the same argument people use in support of gun ownership?

And yet apps that leverage this are quasi absent. The Firefox screen reader widget is good but the voices are limited and the functionality limited to well formatted pages. E-book software seems to not integrate this tech either.

I'm not expressing any position here but it should be noted that the strait between Taiwan and China's mainland is not that wide and any navy would be hard pressed to defend itself against land based anti-ship missiles. It's

Firefox's reader mode is amazing, especially if you need to read long content; their text-to-speech tool works very well and I use Firefox in large part because of it. On Chrome, a startup named Speechify has a (crappy/intrusive)
