dylan604··on Show HN: Unfenced – Land for sale that borders public land
I'm not stipulating anything about abutting property. I'm saying that if the government builds something on their land it is theirs to do with and is on them to maintain it. If they decide to no longer maintain it, that is also their decision. To clarify my point, if someone bought property when the government's fence was intact believing it will always remain so they did not have to build a fence, it is a bad decision on the neighbor's part and not the government's. If you require a fence, the only way to ensure you have a fence is to build and maintain your own fence. There are plenty of examples of the government building something on their land and then walking away and abandoning it when it is no longer needed.

Just to mention something people might not have ever considered, but basic home owner's insurance does not cover fences as they are not part of the house. I'm sure someone would be more than happy to provide additional coverage for additional fees that would cover a fence, but it's something to keep in mind. I know multiple people that were oblivious to this until their fence was damaged from trees falling on them during a storm.

If the government built a fence on their property, the burden is on them to maintain it. What other agreement is there?

Pretty much my exact thoughts as well. Heaven forbid a property owning pet owner be responsible for protecting their pets on their property. WTF has this world come to?

Your grandparents were not running the goverment making decisions on topics they have no real understanding over. They only thing they might understand is all of the people asking them to do things while dropping of burlap sacks with dollar symbols printed on them. No disrespect to your family, but please, let's not compare farming to being an elected official.

It's one thing to be older. It's another thing to be rational and of sound mind as an older person. At some point, it's time for grandpa to retire.

I was with you right up until your last sentence. Absolutely get a second opinion for any diagnosis that you deem warranted, but putting your healthcare decisions in the hands of an LLM is not the route I'd be suggesting to anyone.

I'd assume a company like that would have insurance for this. They'd be able to reimburse the customer knowing they'd get paid back from an insurance claim. That is, if they are actually insured for these kinds of losses.

A few years ago, the Canon camera battery supply chain was intermingled with knock offs. The seller I bought from was exchanging for legit batteries or reimbursement when a customer made a claim.

> The capital costs have also ballooned to the point where the rate has to level out

That's a pretty bold use of "has to". None of the financing behind AI seems sane, yet it continues to defy rational expectations. Reminds me of the comment "the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent". It's not the exact meaning but has the same feeling. The circular financing going on does not help anything either

I get that having networked devices is a very nice to have feature. However, putting them directly to the open internet is bewildering. Any person worth their salt in IT would know that's a bad idea. Were these people never brought into the conversation? Do they connect to the store's WiFi so that IT isn't actually needed to install once the WiFi creds are obtained?
