<p>This has to do more with price of house, not HOAs.  In Florida for example, some(maybe most?) counties require all new developments to maintain their own roads, which requires something akin to a CDD/HOA.  Newer houses typically cost more and bring in people with money, not someone who inherited the house or has been living there for generations.<p>I could show you HOA neighborhoods that look like a warzone, and beautiful nonHOA areas of million dollar houses.</p>

<p>Perhaps selfishly as I'm not much a gambler, I hate it because it ruined sports.  You have a barrage of ads and odds that plague every game at every turn.  You have a handful of players already caught betting on their own games, which means there are many more who just haven't been caught yet.  And now, every single bad call leads fans to "refs must have money on this game", and to be honest, who knows if they do.</p>

<p>I'd say it failed in that it became an echo chamber - there isn't real public to shape.  It would have probably been more effective if done a bit more subtly, which makes it scary to realize that 'effective' propaganda looks like open discourse to the average user.</p>

<p>I've always wished Translate would have a 'literal' mode, which I find far more helpful to learn roots and such.<p>Just an example, consider Ausland and it's various suffixes to mean abroad, foreign, etc.  Which are fair translations.  But it's more helpful to me if it were translated more literally to something like "out (of) country", as it helps understand the parts of the word rather than the whole.</p>

<p>Using Go since 1.0, agree wholeheartedly.  Newcomers read the docs and start throwing channels everywhere because why not.<p>I always ask/tell people to write without channels, and only add them when you have justification for doing so.  That leads to much more sane code.<p>One pattern I see often because random blogs mention it is starting X long lived goroutines, then passing them data via channels, then receiving responses via channels, then handling.  In my experience, it's 100x less error prone to just use a semaphore to start a goroutine per data, and have them do their own handling.  No channels involved.</p>

<p>That saves 1 click(and thanks for that).<p>It'll show you updates you haven't done since whatever time period I haven't figured out, but to actually check, from there you have to click 'Manage', then 'Updates available', then 'Check for updates.'<p>Typically, I have nothing waiting for me in updates, and have to do the above to expose 8 or so apps with updates available.</p>

<p>In cases where the user is not asking the agent to hack anything specifically, but a poor or ambiguous query sets the agent off.<p>I've seen plenty of cases of Claude having an action blocked so trying tons of workarounds to accomplish its goal, I could easily see it doing this on something more broad.</p>

<p>The important bit to me is that they consider the agent running as an extension of the user.  So the user is visiting Amazon, not Perplexity.<p>From that lens, that feels like users could be held liable for what these hacking agents are doing.  Which in some cases probably makes sense, but certainly not all.</p>
