Does anybody have an idea how much this ESP32/M5Paper setup cost the author? Buying individual components ; not bulk

Sometimes I feel there should be a survey for Git methods and people vote on it. Repeat annually. Eventually we'll settle the debate
Re:Short Term Rental (2018) on Tuesday January 21, 2020 @01:27PM (#22109812)
Ya, I have a detached house. I’ve noticed the trend with HOAs being established by the builder. You’re right that there’s minimum shared property generally. Fortunately, every HOA I’ve been in has been good. On the other hand, I’ve looked in areas without HOAs and people didn’t take care of their property or yards, which drove their neighbor’s home value down (the deals seemed good enough to buy, until you drove up and saw your future neighbors).
Re:Show HN: Train a language model to talk like you on Tuesday January 21, 2020 @10:26AM (#22107715)
I’ve never used PyTorch before... is this running within my local machine, or is there some API in here that’s also sending data to Google to also train their models? Asking a privacy point-of-view..

Well we have run out of IPv4 and ISPs aren’t in a hurry to adopt IPv6. Also, isn’t this common in apartment complexes?

I have a rental property that is in an HOA and I rent it out. What are you inferring?

A video of reading a blog post? Why not just post the blog post directly?

> there is no objective logical foundation for differentiating between "me" and "not me": firstly, by showing that, given determinism, everyone/thing is part of a single unalterable process, and secondly, by showing that there is no single objective standard for drawing the line between a thing and the things around it.

I don’t see it. Does he address the fact that dozens of other philosophers over the years have argued the opposite?

> ultimately predictable consequences of the universe's creation, which if omniscient he should have foreseen.

Isn’t this just free will? Is that the nondeterminism that the author is ignoring?

Re:Crew Dragon launch escape demonstration on Sunday January 19, 2020 @04:08PM (#22094091)
Congrats SpaceX team! I hope they post the view from the Crew Dragon vehicle of the Falcon 9 breaking up. That seems to be the one view that was missed (in addition to splashdown from the aircraft angle)
Re:Show HN: Stocks ordered by maximum profit for 2019 on Sunday January 19, 2020 @03:40PM (#22093902)
There was a post here recently that if you bought pretty much any stock last year, you wouldd profit, so I'm not sure what this is? Is this just if you bought one share on 1st Jan and sold on 31st Dec?
