Maybe totally fine for you. But that will not be "totally fine" for much of the US when they are expecting to keep their house at 72 degrees and the new technology they got talked into can't do it.

The tech has limits and cold weather states can't avoid that or the reputation will get really bad and the tech will fail.

I think people will get excited about this and then quickly realize how painful it is to code in a foreign environment from the platform.

How miserable it would be trying to write Java or kotlin targeting iOS apps. I think this will be the same.

Just use the native tools and languages for the platform. Swift/Objc/xcode for iOS. Java/Kotlin/Android Studio for Android.

You will be so much happier.

And get your hand smashed by a hammer in the back room

I don't think that advice has been relevant anymore for awhile now.

And by guessing, we mean grasping wildly at nonsense.

They've been too busy adding multi threading.

If a trivial UAF existed for more than a decade, then I can't wait to see what smorgasbord of memory bugs they introduced with threads.

We've seen a convergence of document DBs adding relational features, and relational DBs adding document features.

I had such a bad experience with Mongo DB that I will absolutely never use it again, and will never recommend that anyone else use it either.

This alone will get you 90% of the benefits of Mongo DB but with the full power of Postgres for everything else:

    create table document (
        id uuid primary key default gen_random_uuid(),
        doc jsonb not null
    );

It's this company [1].

They pay people to watch every play of every game and apply a formula that grades the relative difficulty in order to develop their advanced statistical models.

Some of this stuff has been automated, but a lot still hasn't and still relies on the "eye test".

I'm glad to see some innovation in the Linux desktop space but pop os just looks kind of cheesy

Only poor people buy lottery tickets. These are the people getting their money from government welfare anyway. It's a terrible cycle.

Sports betting is nothing compared to the massive, state-sponsored gambling enterprise in scratch tickets and lotto.

Biggest scam of all time.

The CFAA isn't super complicated. It basically boils down to:

Don't fuck with other people's shit if they don't want you to.

I think the point was that interstate data sharing closed the loophole on evading use-taxes. Now states report to each other about large purchases. It's no longer possible to buy a car or tractor in Oregon and never report the unpaid sales tax back to Washington or California. They will know.

> How is this enforceable if a company doesn't have any infrastructure within that state?

It's a good question. Maybe something with interstate commerce laws?

Rust's marker traits (Send, Sync, etc.) + RAII is really what makes it so magical to me.

Yes and it's unfortunate that Greenlanders don't get a say in who their conqueror is.

But Denmark isn't the one that should be complaining about their ill-gotten loot being taken from them.

It's all so ironic considering Denmark took control of Greenland purely by conquest/claim and many Greenlanders view it historically as colonial/imperial.

But now Denmark is apparently upset that an even bigger, greedier bully is trying to take it from them?

I don't care about it one way or the other. I imagine an agreement will be made where USA gets something like 80% of the resource rights in exchange for Denmark getting to keep the title and then we'll all forget about this.

> use another app which offered the same content

The content is not on other apps though. Maybe other apps have other content, but it's not the good content that people want.

And then went straight over to X, another social media silo, to post that his other social media account at the other silo was banned.

What a world we live in.

> Debi and John Marks moved from Florida to build their dream home in the high desert of Costilla County. They bought property in the ranches two years ago with plans to build a retirement home and live off the grid among the pines

...

> “We wanted to be as independent as possible, and so we searched all over the state for property that would fit our needs, and this fit the bill,” Debi Marks said.

...

> Amanda Ellis bought a house in Costilla County five years ago to live off the grid.

These are people specifically moving to this unincorporated county in order to live "off the grid". This sounds ideological to me.

> governments haven't acted to serve the people

The government in question here is the one representing the tax-paying residents of the town of Fort Garland. They voted to stop selling their scarce water supply to the non-tax-paying residents of unincoporated Costilla County. So it seems to me that the "government" served the interest of their constituents fairly.

I've been to Lake Pend Oreille. Beautiful, pristine.

It's extremely deep and calm, which is why (I guess) the US Navy does so much acoustic research there.

The Navy recently christened the USS Idaho [1] Virginia-class submarine.

I think the point was that dropping interest rates alone will not make anything more affordable. It will actually have the opposite effect: increase prices without any material change to the underlying property value. Fueled purely by the demand of newly-qualified buyers.

> alleging that in a lower-rate environment sellers will raise prices

Didn't we see exactly this scenario play out in 2001-2005 and again during Covid?

> Heading into 2020, affordability was increasing—even in the face of rising home prices—as buyers benefitted from historically low interest rates and steady income growth.

> The national HOAM index fell from 101.94 in February 2021 to 98.22 in March 2021, indicating homes were no longer affordable for the median-income household.

Rates dropped which caused a demand-side surge (because more people could afford the mortgage) which quickly turned into a market dynamic that caused home prices to increase beyond median affordability.

https://www.atlantafed.org/economy-matters/community-and-eco...

Very true. Rate drops have historically caused demand-side pressure (because more people can now afford the mortgage) which subsequently caused home prices to surge (20% during Covid!) despite no capital or material improvements to the homes or properties to justify the higher "value".

> most people price housing as mortgage + insurance

I would go as far as to say it's actually mortgage + insurance + taxes in most states. Very likely to be paying anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 in county + school taxes per year which by itself is enough to make the home suddenly unaffordable even if you bought it 10 years ago at a great price and rate.

Housing in Greenwich Village (the broader area including the West Village) has become outrageous in recent decades. A significant reason, but not the only reason, is because the main NYU campus is located in the middle of the small area and doesn't provide nearly enough housing (only ~20%) for the on-campus enrollment.

NYU's on-campus enrollment is also roughly 50% foreign students. I don't have any data about it, but just from experience I've suspected that foreign students are willing and able to pay higher prices for housing.

It looks like that Zephyr drone only weighed about 160lbs and didn't carry any payload. I believe these new Skydweller drones can carry an 800lb payload. Maybe that is the significant difference?
