Are you joking? In the UK they can offset rental income against their mortgage payments (EDIT: mortgage interest payments), meaning they only pay income tax on their "profit" while also benefitting from the capital appreciation. (Admittedly this is changing from 2017 [0])

This, coupled with low interest rates means that landlords will take out additional mortgages to buy new properties even if they could afford to pay cash.

Landlords have been able to act like mini hedge funds, making huge bets on the housing market using cheap borrowed money. Some will get badly burned when/if interest rates rise and property values fall, but that doesn't look like happening any time soon.

>There are enough Baby Boomers to dominate politics

The boomers don't dominate politics; money does.

The 0.1% is trying to drive a wedge between young and old (largely successfully) by pushing this boomer/millennial bullshit (for one example of blatant astroturfing, google "the can kicks back").

They've been doing this to get complicity from the old to ramp up student debt, keep wages for the young down, etc.

Equally, they've been doing this to get complicity from the young to privatize social security and slash medicare (thus far unsuccessful but boy have they been trying).

The worst part is that it's an utterly shallow and obvious self serving strategy that's very clearly working (look at all the 'boomer hate' on HN. Getting people to hate on their grandmas is depressingly easy).

The last thing the 0.1% want to see is young and old united against them.

You raise some good questions,

"That there was a person called Christ living in that period, in that area? Probably hundreds of them ..."

Christ was not a surname, but a title for the expected Jewish Messianic King promised throughout the Old Testament (Isaiah 52-53, Psalm 22 are a few accessible descriptive examples). In the 1st century, given Roman control of Judea, any claim to be "the Christ" risked death. It was not a title that one would take to oneself lightly. Despite this, there were a few false messiahs of the period. Their mission and memory have faded in comparison to that of Jesus of Nazareth.

"Little written records,"

If you're keen to investigate further, you actually couldn't ask for better, more reliable written accounts (incidental vs biographical etc.) concerning Jesus. The historicity of the New Testament documents merely as historical documents is stunning.

"general superstition abounded, populace was illiterate and easy to fool ..."

I would not agree that that is an accurate description of the time period. It may be tempting for "modern" man to underestimate the culture and learning of earlier civilizations. If you dig deeper on this point, I think you would be impressed as to the intelligence, education, capability and common sense of 1st century Jews.

"each time findings have contradicted biblical facts"

I am not aware of any historical details in the New Testament documents which have been contradicted by historical findings? On the contrary, historical details (social, political, geographical, cultural, nautical etc.) in the New Testament documents tend to have been corroborated over time.

"the bible itself has been adapted (there are lots of versions)"

There are many translations of the canonical Bible into different languages, but there is only one version of the Bible, and if one is not sure of this, one can always read the extant MSS copies in the Greek. Textual criticism has shown that what we read today is what they wrote then, with no significant differences, as early as the 40s, no later than the 90s.

"on the one hand you have a small and powerful establishment in control of the message, the historical facts and all secrets which could help in falsifying all christian claims"

Are you referring to claims made by Dan Brown? The followers of Jesus were a motley crew at best, hardly powerful, hardly establishment. Furthermore, what they wrote, mostly independently and at great personal cost, their "testimony" (what we know as the New Testament), was in wide circulation by the end of the 1st century.

No, 50% of them will be (at or) below median. The word "average" has multiple meanings, but it's most commonly used to mean "mean", i.e. "arithmetic average". It's perfectly possible for most people to be below the mean (e.g. in a room full of schoolkids and Bill Gates, only one person is above-average wealthy).

It's up to us to define what friendship we consider real or not. Personally I find mystery an unpleasant waste of time.

Screw your "should". Plenty of times I've found out via Facebook that someone was going to an event near me, or just had a common interest, and met up with them as a result. And that's been fun.

Actually the multi-million dollar cost of litigating in EDTX for defendants (it's cheap for plaintiffs) is usually more than the plaintiffs are asking for to settle. So defendants that expect to win big still have to settle and pay or they'll ruin their business.

Most EDTX patent defendants have under $10MM in revenue. Trolls target small companies in these suits more often than large ones.

Checklist proponents in this thread oversimplify the issue [1]

The reason I comment is not to support or disapprove of the use of checklists.

I'm saying, it's more involved than that. Checklists should be a part of a process that includes evaluating their efficacy wherever they're introduced. Pushing the idea that it is simple takes away from the value of the original implementation by Peter Pronovost. Poor marketing can cause what was initially a good idea to fail.

> Works fine on my Gentoo (OpenRC) desktop. This meme that systemd is necessary for cgroups is simply incorrect.

That's not what it's about. The point of cgroups integration in systemd is that it allows systemd to precisely track the processes started under it, which means that e.g. applications where things like double-forking or similar happens can still be completely stopped by systemd even if the parent process des.

> You're trying to frame the conversation in a way that presumes features like cgroups or "socket activation" are desired features.

They are to me. They massively improves things vs. sysvinit.

> The entire point of this "debate" is that you shouldn't be tying extra features to the init process.

The entire starting point for systemd is that traditional sysvinit is woefully lacking in the functionality required to build reliable systems. And when you start trying to cobble together something on top of it, it quickly becomes clear that it is not easy.

E.g. try to build a reliable process manager outside of pid 1. You still need process restarting functionality in pid 1 for when your process manager dies. What if it fails to restart? How are you going to log those failures reliably? You end up duplicating a lot of functionality of a process manager in pid 1 if you want a reliable system even if you run a separate process manager outside of pid 1.

There are parts of the systemd design I don't agree with, and I think they'd benefit from splitting out various components from the project, not least for "political" reasons. But the design for the core parts of systemd-the-init-system largely follow on from a very limited set of core requirements of being able to reliably start, stop and keep services running and reliably log data from them.

These are requirements that sysvinit basically throws it hands up at and says "not my table", while by owning pid 1 they make it basically impossible to meet them.

I fondly remember a university project where we made an mp3 player - hardware based around an Intermetall (MAS) chip and the software to drive it. This was late 90's and the run of the mill 486 struggled to play 256kbps mp3's. I designed an interface around a PAL chip that received nibbles from the parallel port and serially sent them to the decoder chip. The program to parse the mp3 and bit-bang the parallel port I wrote in Turbo Pascal, and it actually did an amazing job, up to 320kbps mp3 could be played. Fun fact: the PAL originally couldn't quite keep up, so I had to increase the supply voltage (as well as the clock voltage level) and attach a heatsink to it!

No it's not. The French, British and Italians for example all have extreme amounts of nationalistic pride and show it throughout their economies, the pride they hold regarding their history and culture. Scandinavia is very proud of its broadly tremendous standard of living and their well run welfare states, etc. - and Scandinavians are never shy about bragging about it online in my observation, you can hardly get away from it. The Chinese and Japanese are extremely nationalistic, and that's downplaying how nationalistic they are, extremely doesn't do it justice. I also find any time India has an accomplishment that gets global attention, Indians take a massive amount of pride in it, and you can see that pour out on HN or Reddit for example (and I don't think there is anything wrong with that).

The chant may be a quirk of the US, the nationalism it represents is absolutely not.

The same than the kernel booting was extended across the years to cover usage cases.

Hi, I'm working at https://www.sqreen.io/, the security as a service platform, on the python agent and we're currently setup the integration tests. We plan to run all of the following configurations regularly with a distributed Docker cluster, more details in a future blog post!

So far we test theses configurations:

- Python 2.7.8
- Python 3.5
- Pypy

Framework:

- Django 1.7
- Django 1.8
- Django 1.9

WSGI Server:

- Gunicorn
- Chaussette
- Uwsgi
- mod_wsgi
(- Passenger)

The icing on the cake:

- No gevent
- Gevent

You're wrong - Taylor Swift was born in 1989.
People are moving into London at a huge rate. That to me suggests that the city is doing something right, and should keep doing what it's doing rather than try to radically shake things up.

I don't think rent controls or second home rules can possibly work. That leads to people working jobs that aren't actually economically sustainable - and the benefit often ends up going to the rich (e.g. cleaners living in subsidized housing can be paid lower wages). A land value tax would be a good idea to encourage productive use of land, but the only way to avoid introducing loopholes is to apply it consistently to all land.

My view is that agglomeration really is valuable, that the high cost of housing and office space in London reflects their high value. Industries that really benefit from being in London will locate themselves there and be more productive as a result. Industries that don't benefit will move out and make space for those who can make better use of it.

This depends on amount of traffic, and conditions.

I live in Finland where the population decline in some rural areas has lead to it being economical to remove paving from roads. With not much traffic - but the road still being essential for local economy, e.g. timber transport - it's cheaper to maintain a dirt road than a paving.

Part of this is due to local climate - in the winter the frost goes a meter deep in the ground, so maintaining paving means an occasional re-build every few decades, putting under the tarmac a deep layer of material that passes water through quickly. With dirt roads, you don't need to, you just level it, which is quick and cheap.

After the announcement that Ubuntu 16.04 would _support_ (not just contain) ZFS, I was quite happy. I have a FreeNAS server at home and while FreeBSD is awesome for basically all server-y parts of the server, FreeNAS is still based on FreeBSD 9 and I would love to replace with a Linux-based system so I can also use at as a build server and run some Linux-speicific tools.

But getting Ubuntu _installed_ on a ZFS partition turned out to be much more painful than expected -- you can't easily do it by booting the server ISO from a USB drive. Maybe I'll have some more time soon and try this again.
