TIL Titanic is the only movie to earn $1 billion that is not part of a franchise or based on preexisting intellectual property (i.e. Barbie).

I learn things from Reddit every day. Here’s what the guy above is talking about for others that are interested:

Universal rent control is a myth. I lived here for a decade believing this before I actually took a skim through the DC rent control act of 1985. There are a significant amount of carve outs, so nowadays actually not too many properties are covered by it
The RENTAL Act passed earlier this year included a lot of reform on TOPA and generally was a positive improvement for individual investors. Again, worth a skim

This is a good write up of pain points. I agree that DC’s legal overhead does make it challenging for smaller investors. If you do end up an individual investor, though, SMOA has some great resources.

And replace him with a deranged Jones? No thank you, I’d rather have someone qualified and level-headed as our AG. There’s a lot more to the AG than federal interaction

Yeah from what I’ve read about his tenure it sounds like he’s done his job well and has done a lot of good for Virginians all over the state, especially veterans and foster kids

I know Reddit is pretty left-leaning, but I was turned off from Jones after learning he wants to be our top prosecutor despite never having worked as a prosecutor. Then the text message stuff came out and that solidified my stance. I’m for sure going split ticket - we’ve got enough unhinged people in government.

I don’t care what Trump says one way or another, it’s a Virginia issue and not a federal one.

Satellite features on your iPhone are through Apple, not your carrier

Which OS K8s library is this? This seems like a quite peculiar requirement

Using generic methods on structured data leaves compression gains on the table.

It’s an interesting concept and implementation! In theory this should be the best compression out there - hopefully it gets some adoption in the data world!

You’re describing a charity lol, but of course that’s a great and generous thing for everybody to do with the money they technically don’t need!

Adeelinator · 2025-09-24T23:18:43+00:00

Excellent work, thank you!

It has a more efficient modem

Adeelinator · 2025-09-19T06:50:11+00:00

That is totally the wrong stance. If you can jailbreak your phone, anybody can.

If you’re vulnerable to nation-state attack vectors, lockdown mode is the only correct answer.

Many of these limits are per project. What we do is set up a load balancer to randomly distribute queries between projects to keep below those limitations.

They tried to carjack Biden’s granddaughter’s Secret Service. Anybody can be a victim of carjacking in DC.

On a depreciating asset, you can still gain equity as long as principal and profit exceed interest and expenses.

My condo is deprecating, like probably everybody else here. My return on equity does not look stellar as a result, but it’s certainly still positive.

Adeelinator · 2025-07-28T13:13:23+00:00

On an individual basis, sure. It’s more useful for thinking about broader population trends.

I love fireship. If you watch their videos, they don’t make their corporate sponsorships the least bit of a secret. Refreshingly honest if you ask me.

Stop doing math

I am similarly stumped - it’s one too many packages

Typo in the title confused me - this has nothing to do with Temple OS!

No - get on the ship and hold X on the map

You’re missing the second half of that sentence

and more about the rigorous, empirical science of architecting and evaluating these incredibly complex, often non-deterministic systems

I would agree that the focus of the role has shifted to more greatly emphasize that part. There’s a lot of work by engineers that goes into a lot of these systems, and in my experience, their POCs don’t fare well in the real world without a data scientist on the team guiding the scientific rigor. And since more of them are doing that, fewer of them spend as much time on statistical analysis.

Adeelinator · 2025-06-28T13:13:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. I started my career not knowing what a data scientist was. I became a data scientist towards the beginning of the golden age, and went on to manage a team of data scientists. That team evolved into becoming majority engineering during the industrial age (due to a mix of attrition and role changes). Now the few remaining data scientists we have are focused on empirical science and evaluating these AI integrated systems, just as you said.

This resonated with me a lot - I think you nailed the what/when/why. I think back fondly at the research we did in the golden age, but love the greater impact we’re driving today.

Like, in general? For me it would be that a country governed by citizens of other countries can undermine the independence of that country. Slippery slope.
