Politics@beehaw.org•This little propaganda piece from Business Insider really shows how the rich think.English
7·2 years agoThe housing market, especially in Florida and ESPECIALLY in south florida is a giant bubble right now.
This has happened before. The early 2000’s saw a similar bubble that finally popped ~2008. In the early 2000’s I saw a ton of people ditching their careers to get their Real Estate license. Didnt pan out well for them and its not gonna pan out for this guy.
This bubble is a bit different in that its not so much fueled by mortgage backed securities and pushes to get people on variable rate mortgages to they can be pumped and dumped into credit default swaps. This one is much more, at least in florida, tied to folks trying to escape regulations and lockdown from COVID up north and coming down to florida where properties are historically cheaper per sq ft and acre and buying up real estate in cash. But still, its going to pop. Many locals cant afford to buy now, or even rent in some cases as many arent even buying a primary residence here just vacation/airbnb homes. But its still a bubble that will see some major regressions. Especially if the urban sprawl problem gets taken head on (which I dont see happening anytime soon givent he current political climate).

Space@beehaw.org•The Suspense is Killing Us. The Next Planet in the TRAPPIST System Gets the JWST Treatment
2·3 years agoSame for me. Its awe inspiring what they find, but I totally need “explain like im 5” levels of reduction for it to make sense as to how they go about it.

3·3 years agoAnd even professional ones. Yvette Cendes has posted on Reddit how they interfere with ground based radio satellites.
Starlink is increasing the amount of satellites around earth by a large factor.

Space@beehaw.org•We Live in the Rarest Type of Planetary System
1·3 years agoIt’s worth noting that computer models can help but often start with known data and that may skew the results.
Also, some of the methods we use to find planets are often skewed towards certain types. Most often towards larger/high gravity planets that are also closer to the start aka “hot jupiters”

Space@beehaw.org•Astronomers See the Same Supernova Four Times Thanks to a Gravitational Lens
2·3 years agoYeah its really cool. I also used to post some of the stuff i would see in feeds in reddit, mostly would get buried.
I also edited the post and added some more coverage that had some better explanations.
From my perspective as a user that has been on reddit for a while, its been on a downhill slide for a long time now. The moderation mechanisms there are really becoming the downfall. Its like police or politicians, the position attracts the very qualities that would make you unsuitable for such authority.
I am also unsure what most of the 2000+ employees do, because by all accounts they are generally unresponsive to both users and mods alike when they reach out. This is as true now with the API stuff and small devs not getting traction to work with them, as it has been in the past and was a major reason there was backlash when Victoria was let go.

Chat@beehaw.org•Getting the most out of fediverse communitiesEnglish
7·3 years agoMy hope is they add multi communities of some sort. Where you can
A. Group like communities together and browse them by topic, similar to multireddits
And/or
B. Certain communities can join forces and automatically cross-post with each other to reduce duplication and fragmentation while still splitting load
How technically feasible the latter is, I don’t know. But it would be cool. I’m still prettt new to this type of setup.

2·3 years agoYeah I sent the admin a note via dm and it was back this afternoon. I’m thinking just the web-ui was borked. Not sure. Also unsure if it was correlation or causation.

Technology@beehaw.org•a megathread for developments on Reddit and with third-party Reddit appsEnglish
10·3 years agoReddit admins will likely just boot the mods and takeover the subreddits. Especially the bigger ones. Heck they may even do that to ones that blackout at all, or past the 14th.
They have threatened and done similar to things like firearm subreddits.

Technology@beehaw.org•Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak?
7·3 years agoI agree with most of what you said. I would say classifying SVB as a seizure is probably not accurate. The FDIC only came in when it was clear SVB was going to fold and in fact insured far more than the 250k per account guaranteed. Mainly to try and stem a run on midsize banks because
-
Many companies had large holdings, undiversified in these banks
-
The banks were borderline negligent with how they handled those deposits, sticking them all in “safe” government bonds that ruins liquidity.
Once the interest rate on the bonds was lower than the base borrowing rate, no one would buy the bonds instead of just buying new bonds with a much higher guaranteed return.
So, given that, I would say the FDIC instead bailed out the banks. Something they would never do for you or I, or even a business with similar valuation as any of the banks customers.

The only thing you get out of rss is the title of the post, and a link to the post comments and whatever the external link was (if it wasn’t a self post).
I use rss to monitor a few subreddits since I run my own rss reader and monitor all sorts of feeds.

6·3 years agoThanks!. Found it just after the comment. There was a instance called infosec.pub the other day that seemed to have some promise. Seems down now as well.

Begs the question. Is there a way to request a new community on beehaw?

Operating Systems@beehaw.org•Close to switching to a Linux distro full time.
3·3 years agoMy biggest gripe with nvidia is the total number of gpu options. You have mesa, nouveau, and even the dedicated proprietary gpu, but then also specific kernel builds with said gpu drivers.
Personally I use the nvidia kernel module drivers. They are good, even for my wonky egpu+dgpu+onboard graphics setup. I have to reboot to connect/disconnect the egpu, and had to copy my x11 config over to the gdm login manager but otherwise it works great (with x11).
Wayland and other dwm…will have different results.













He was. One of the better dogs I’ve ever owned. Was in effect a therapy dog for our other pup that struggles with people. And always more tolerant than he should have been with the kids.
It was a long time coming. He had tumors in his throat and nose and eventually his quality of life suffered too much. Just sucks.
He’s also the first death that hit my youngins hard. My 5 year old has struggled the most. Has some disturbing anecdotes since. Having to choke back your own thoughts/processing to explain it to kids is hard. Harder than I thought
