In US, deed is public (grantor name, grantee name, property id). That’s probably how the scammers knew that you are involved in a recently recorded deed, and offered to send you a copy if you pay them.

Does US law prevent (or frown upon) defendant from publicly publishing evidence, even when the plaintiff publicly published the accusation and their evidence first? If so, how is the defendant supposed to protect their public reputation when a lawsuit is ongoing for years? Or maybe I’m missing your point on what wouldn’t be looked upon kindly?

In some places, I see people do that. It’s not stupidity. I learned the logical reason after observations. During busy hours in some busy buildings, there isn’t enough elevator capacity. Therefore, if you want to go down to the ground floor, taking a trip up and then down might be better (a less-bad worst case outcome, or even a better average outcome) than waiting for a non-full downward elevator. In such case, it’s logical to press both up and down.

Previously working command needs to continue behave the same way. Your original proposal was intended to provide backward compatibility (your third point in original comment), and that’s an important part of why it could work.

Currently, git log -- a -- prints all commits that affects the files whose name is a or two dashes.

Modern day code agents would clone a repo and read the code when you ask it a question about an API that’s not clearly documented. This vulnerability is real.

That’s just keychain. It’s not even fingerprinting.

In metropolitan areas, people want to be close but not too close to train/metro stations or railroad/tunnels. 5-10 minute walk is ideal. Anything closer, people have vibration/noise and crowd/security concerns.

In US suburbs, a lot of people are going to drive even if they live next to a train station. So there’s no convenience or property value benefits. To them, they only see downsides.

Wow TIL. I have observed that my rental cars in Europe all have faulty speedometer. Multiple brands, multiple countries. So this is why.

If you need access to both apps from China and websites/apps from outside China, non-Apple devices have been difficult before this, primarily due to push notification infrastructure.

This makes it more difficult. But I don’t think it matters given how difficult it was prior to this.

They offer a lifetime price of $128.

MIT license is one of the most permissive open source software licenses. What’s the problem?

On iPhones, three ways to get rid of the keychain data of an app 1. wipe the phone AND you must not restore backups 2. jailbreak the phone 3. the app can wipes its own keychain (but apps don’t expose this feature generally)

Based on my reading, Apple’s cut of non-IAP purchase only applies if you sign up for the new StoreKit External Purchase Link Entitlement, and the cut only applies for purchases through the Entitlement link.

1 and 2 can be addressed though.

It’s easy to ban right-turn-on-red on a specific intersection. People sometimes do not see the sign, but new-style electronic no-right-turn signs addresses this. https://www.orangetraffic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/LS2...

It’s also legal to have red light cameras, so they can be installed.

That sound like a terrible workplace.

For your own home, if not Ubiquiti, what do you use nowadays?

> Visa applicants can often be located in the US

Since 9/11, one cannot apply for a US visa if they’re in US. In the context of US immigration, “visa” grants entry, “status” grants stay. If you’re in US, and need to change “status” to a different category (business/leisure, student, etc), you have two primary choices: (1) apply for “change of status” in US, or (2) leave US, apply for a new “visa” in the new category, and enter US using that new “visa”.

Someone has to go and add the filtering. Nowadays (or maybe since ten years ago) most ISPs have the filter, but not the last 1% (or maybe 0.01%).

A dental hygienist (those people who do maintenance cleaning at dentist’s offices) told me that saliva quality is key to cavity and periodontal health. The ability of keep all teeth moist prevents plaque/tartar build up. I don’t know how true that is, but this at least provide an alternative hypothesis to the two that you listed.

In 1970, I suppose there are many people whose birthdate is before 1901-12-13?

I thought the root causes of 737 Max failure is (1) marketing’s choice to make a new plane that pilots with existing 737 certificate can fly with little or no training (2) the lack of a third sensor.

Why is this the software engineers’ fault?

Are the windows and walls of the said house also made of steel? In that video, why are the armed personnel so obsessed with entering through the door?

I don’t know the terminology for it. But the behavior that you just described isn’t just “not thread safe”. It’s violating basic assumptions. I’d call that hostile or a trap.

Nitpicking the numbers.

If you're assuming 13% California, that's $1M annual income. You should assume 37% marginal federal tax rate for deductibles, and assume 23.8% federal tax rate (due to NIIT) for long-term capital gains.

Therefore, donation generates $497 of value (37%+13.3%=50.3%) whereas selling and keeping generates $632 of value (23.8%+13%=37.1%). Therefore, the difference ($135) is quite a bit smaller than your math ($270).

Not sure whether it’s applicable here. But when learning scuba diving, we were taught (or rather reminded of, from middle school physics) that a balloon would become bigger as one gets closer to the surface. A balloon 90m under water will be 10X the size when it’s at surface. Therefore, using a balloon for emergency surfacing will lead to a monotonically increasing acceleration rate (which means you’ll going be too fast), or probably bursting the balloon half way through.

Your primary key vouches for that secondary key. Therefore, the “keys have changed” dialog don’t pop up because the new key’s legitimacy is verified.

I’m not familiar with the details. But I assume there exist a way for creditors (incl the government) to seize it somehow, and then sell it to eligible buyers to recover what they’re owed.

Does your Stanford home has a mortgage on it? If so, I assume you signed a deed of trust somehow.

Lately, a 3000 sq ft house in Stanford (which can be sold on the market, but only to eligible faculty and employees) sells for over $2.5M, whereas a similar home in Palo Alto (which can be sold on the market, to any one) sells for around $5M.

As a result, while what you said is true, I don’t think it matters that much. At the end of the day, it’s an asset that’s worth millions of dollars.
