What part of this would be illegal? It's just a zigbee door sensor. The only issue I could see is the college getting upset but if anything they'd just say 'take it down'

object detection of people from images is probably what they are referring to. there are maybe some state laws that could be stretched to include that but i would say presumptively legal

The final solution does not depend on object (people) detection. In fact by the end of the article he has totally eliminated the camera

Doors have rights too!

I guess depending on how you open them they do indeed have the right to bear arms

I can't imagine it would be too much, depending on how it's worded it could show that the applicant has a 'wide range of experience'. Plus I kind of wonder if HR would already take that into account, it's not just software engineers and salespeople doing it, it's everyone, HR and Execs included

>For example should non-residents not be allowed to purchase vacation properties and lease them?

AirB&B has been a terrible experience, so many people buying up houses just to lease them out for a weekend has definitely contributed to rising housing costs and over-all cost of living

That's an issue absolutely, but it doesn't answer the question of whether non-residents should be allowed to do what residents can.

> it doesn't answer the question of whether non-residents should be allowed to do what residents can

Raise that fence too high and you turn landlords into the community's gatekeepers. (How else could a non-resident become a resident?)

Don’t worry the HN crowd seems to be so far gone from reality and understanding free markets that I’ve encountered numerous discussions where landlords are categorically evil, which is overwhelmingly empirically understood to be extremely beneficial to housing and communities to have landlords invest in them! Of course given the trend has been to remove all education of market fundamentals and inject eduction systems with endless collectivist propaganda we should not be surprised.

I've been saving up for the past 8 years and have got a pretty decent deposit built up but the costs of houses in my area are just so expensive that the deposit barely makes a scratch in the overall mortgage costs and I wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage, seems like the more I save up the higher the housing prices go. It absolutely amazes (and infuriates) me that some of the houses I see going for 400-500k now went for 150-200k 10 years ago.

I was in the same situation and the solution is to just get a worse home than you want :(

I just purchased my first home because I could finally afford it after a few lucky cash windfalls. I spent the last 5 years in a 700 sq ft apartment.

What I learned: I would have been much better off buying a worse home 5 years ago that was at least better than the 700 sq ft apartment.

I don’t think saving up that down payment makes as much sense any more. I felt like I was chasing a target which was moving faster than I was.

Doubling or even tripling in ten years is not a ridiculous rate of growth.

For a stock, maybe not. But for a house? It is absolutely beyond ridiculous for a house to double in 10 years. Are you kidding me?

That's far beyond the rate of inflation. Unless there are significant improvements to the house or the surrounding area, the value of house should not rise faster than inflation, at least not by some significant margin.

"the value of house should not rise faster than inflation, at least not by some significant margin"

What does "should" even mean here?

I think the meaning is clear given the full context of my comment.

It is ridiculous for a home owner to expect the value of their home to rise faster than inflation by a significant margin without there being massive improvements to either the home itself or the neighborhood.

And skyrocketing housing prices means the rich get richer while utterly fucking over the young generation and locking them out of home ownership as prices rise significantly faster than wages.

That’s 7-10% price growth per year. How is that not ridiculous?

Bay Area housing has been increasing at about 7% per year for about 40 or 50 years.

And the Bay Area is the outlier everyone points to when talking about absurd housing markets.

So, you know, ridiculous.

It also seems to be finally hitting a wall post COVID.

Half a century of strong housing markets isn't a random fluctuation likely to change.

a lot of it is vcenter/vsan/vrealize so pretty big stuff. That being said, they aren't killing it off just killing off the perpetual ownership of those products when you buy a license, now it's subscription based

I think it's partially killing off perpetual ownership, but I think I heard they're also killing off a lot of individual SKUs. So you may not be able to get ESXi outside of a full vCloud Foundation subscription, which also includes NSX and Aria and a bunch of other stuff...

I'm surprised. They mention that cooling is only going to get worse and that fans consume a lot of power, should liquid cooling not be something to look at? Maybe they did and found it either unnecessary or improbable to do at a colo depending on how many servers they have at the data center it might not be worthwhile but if they have 10 or 20 servers surely it would be worth while no?

If you're building your own facility, there's a lot of things you can do with design. In our case, these servers need to go into other people's facilities (e.g., ISPs around the world) so we need to live within their constraints. Things like liquid cooling either wouldn't be possible or would add significant complexity to install and maintain.

You need tanks, plumbing, pumps, coolant...if the datacenter doesn't have it available it's not a small undertaking.

Example: https://www.supermicro.com/en/solutions/liquid-cooling#solut...

There are at least a couple vendors with self-contained liquid cooling systems, kind of like the “all-in-one” systems available for desktop and gaming use. I don’t know how effective they are.

You're right and while it might take up valuable rack space I would imagine there are some rack-based solutions that have most of the stuff included so that you don't have to rely on the dc providing it, pretty sure ServeTheHome has done a couple reports on them

AIUI this is just starting to take off. Look at Supermicro's 2U4N and 1U2N offerings, which need to use liquid cooling to reach that density. I know Alibaba has been doing vertical mounted servers in a non-conductive oil bath for a while. I bet their generation 13 servers have liquid cooling.

My guess is liquid cooling isn't reliable enough. Something is going to leak eventually.

Even better it seems to spike in May almost every year. I didn't see if it mentioned where these measurements were taken but typically July/August are the hottest months so if it was AC, we should see the spike in those two months, no?

I second that. Didn't even realize I could do that, just copied
