I don't get why this is surprising. The goal of nearly all of these regulations is, effectively, to prevent housing from being built. They reduce supply, while demand is increasing. This is basic economics.

Compare this to Toronto. Housing is getting more expensive here, yes, but not at nearly the same rate. Demand is increasing because of high immigration, but supply is being allowed to increase as well- and mostly in the up direction. There's a condo over on College street that just opened, 60 floors or more I believe. An 80+ twin tower condo is I think now approved by the city over on King. The main strip of North York must be averaging 25-30 stories tall, and it's 15km from downtown!

If California wants to lower their housing prices, they need to have supply match demand. To do that, they need 50 story buildings. A lot of them. And they need to start soon, because they take years to build.
> However, WikiLeaks has moved forward its publication schedule in response to the government's post-coup purges.

This would be considered clear wording by proficient English speakers, 'However' sets up the clause, and 'has moved forward its publication schedule in response to..' is pretty self explanatory.

Generally one does not need to write "Wikileaks had publication of the material planned for a later date than today." -- "has moved forward" implies the former.

I don't think Catholicism could ever have been called a fundamentalist religion. It isn't completely based on one holy book (the Bible), it's always integrated other sources and teachings, such as the bit about Popes being infallible when making certain proclamations. As such, it's always evolving as a religion. Even more, Catholicism has always taken the stance that the Bible isn't something to be read and interpreted by regular people, and that only Church authorities can really interpret it correctly, which is why they always kept Masses in Latin and never translated the Bible to other languages. This was one of the issues in the Protestant Reformation, and why the King James Bible was such an important book at the time: it was the first time commoners were able to read it in their own language.
Proxies stripping headers isn't a problem if you use HTTPS or HTTP 2. Additionally, the proper place for this is the Content-Type header, which is a standard header any proxy would understand.

I can't say I've come across a framework or a library that makes it impossible to access a non-standard header, and if there are any, that would be a pretty glaring bug. Nevertheless, the proper place for this information is in the Content-Type header, which is a standard header.

In what way is it hard for a human to look at a request to see what's going on? The information is right there.
> But fundamentalism was a declining ideology. The EU gave it renewed strength.

No it wasn't. what gave you this impression? It has never declined, not in 80's, not in 90's not in the 2000's. You're like one of those people that look at pictures of Teheran,Iran or Kabul, Afghanistan in the 70's and say "Look at these women without hijab, these countries were liberal back then". Off course not, the majority of the population was still extremely conservative back then.

Turkey is no different. The EU did absolutely nothing and had no influence on the strength of fundamentalism in Turkey. Turkey has nobody but itself to blame for that.

Sometimes software development process can be very frustrating and I fully understand the feeling when you're overwhelmed and confused and feel frustrated because you don't know how to approach the problem. Working with black boxes usually causes the feeling in me, or having an elusive bug that could come from literally anywhere from a huge system and having to debug it with seemingly random reproduction steps, that always gets me.

The name "Facebook Brasil" makes me wonder: what's the relationship between Facebook (the USA company), Facebook Brasil, and Whatsapp? Does anyone here know the details?

Everybody seems to be assuming that "Facebook Brasil" and "Facebook (parent company of Whatsapp)" are the same, but is that really the case? And how does that affect the jurisdictional questions involved in these cases? The decision mentions a law that says that foreign companies that have one "agência, filial ou sucursal" in Brazil are considered as having domicile in Brazil, but would that affect a different subordinate of the same parent company? Does it depend on which kind of subordinate it is?
I believe the author did cover this in point 13:

In looking around at the certificates that they support, I was not surprised to find that they accepted no other certificates as valid – only their own. That means it would be trivial to man in the middle any outbound HTTPS connection, so even if they do allow outbound access to Google’s JSON location API it wouldn’t help, because the connection and contents can be monitored by them.

Yeah, i've found that my heavily unit tested code is often my best code, simply because designing it with that in mind yields the simplest, smallest units. If I know I'm gonna need to write a unit test later, I'm much more inclined to split a long function out into more sensible small ones, and I'm not going to try to combine two different behaviors (because that's hell to test).
I think this is true of everything in the Developed world, not just housing.

Healthcare, education, taxis, hotels, small engines. They're all insanely expensive because of the massive amount of regulation that's been added to them in the last 50 or so years. Of course, those regulations add safety and control and structure, so I'm not saying they're all bad.

Just look at the houses or air quality or safety record in undeveloped countries to see what happens without all those regulations.

I find it fascinating that apps like uber and air bnb are basically just getting around all of the regulations and are in a sense going back in time to the way things were (and still are in the undeveloped world.) i.e. if you want to sleep somewhere, you just pay someone for a room in their house - never mind if they have a "permit" - same goes for an informal taxi in most of the world.

It will be interesting to see what happens when people make apps/websites for all the other areas of our world that have an enormous markup because of regulations.
Considering that 1) the revenue base of ARM is predominantly in USD licensing fees, and 2) that the British pound has lost ~20% against he dollar. The ~41% premium is really a 21% premium.

Toronto had a massive building boom [1] over the last 5-7 years that far outpaced Chicago, NYC, and Huston (something like #1 Toronto had 150 buildings v the closest #2 was 40 in Chicago being built). The construction on the hundreds of condos are just starting to be completed and condo prices actually went down for the first time in forever while housing prices continue to rise.

SF housing crisis is entirely self-created. If it wasn't for zoning limitations they'd be one of the top 5 fastest growing city in North America no doubt.

Not legalizing homosexuality isn't the same having no intrinsic objection to exterminating homosexuals.

>they just minded the target audience the Nazis picked

This makes no sense. Most of the allied countries had a long history of antisemitism. If anything, targeting the Jews should have made it less objectionable.

No, I think they objected to killing millions of men, women, and children, using a horrific modern factory style process. No normal human (who wasn't slowly conditioned to accept it) who saw the result of those concentration camp could possibly have no intrinsic objection. The visceral reaction to seeing the bodies and the emaciated survivors would be the same whether the victims were Jewish or homosexual.
And they're very proactive in handling their issues. I do agree with you that history moves into cycles - some of the most most powerful entities that were at least in part democracies (athens, poland, etc..) were bested by absolutist regimes , which afterwards were overcome by democracies themselves.

Top-down approach doesn't always work, but did wonders for them for the past 30 years.

> WhatsApp might have the HN crowd sympathy on this

I'm not sure Whatsapp has everyone's sympathy here; not mine at least. If I live in democratic country X where the law says Y, then I want my government to uphold that law in my country. If company Z refuses this, banning company Z from the country as a last resort seems like the right course of action.

Now if the majority of said country's citizens does not like law Y because it causes trouble for company Z, then they have to make that known. That's democracy as far as I know.

I'm quite firmly on Brazil's side, though I can see Whatsapp's point as well.

If this is ever to be solved, it has to be on the state level. Individual cities or counties are not going to nobly go against their interests and start building more than they have to.

But a lot of people have gotten very rich off of this, so I don't know if there is any political strength behind this. What happens to the Jerry Brown proposal will be a good indicator.
Hitler was democratically elected in the 1933 election with 43.9% of the vote (higher than the other 5 candidates). It doesn't matter if only 1/3 of the population supports a candidate; if your elections are first-past-the-post, then whoever wins the most votes wins the election. That's how democracy works. The US elections work much the same way now, with George W Bush winning the 2000 election with less than 50% of the vote (and if you believe Gore should have won, he again won less than 50% of the popular vote).

The simple fact is that Hitler did win the 1933 elections in a democratic system. And unlike sham elections like Saddam's where he won 99.9% of the vote, this isn't so obviously rigged.

I recall reading somewhere that the downtown core actually has less condos than needed. TO should have built more apparently. They built a lot of condos further away and those condos are the ones that are decreasing/not going up.

Also, since there are a lot of Toronto folks on this thread ... what are you folks doing if you don't own anything already? Prices are at an all time high but there is a general fear that if you don't buy now, you will be locked out forever. A data point there are condos in Gibson Square in North York for north of 650K. Seems insane but that is what the market is I suppose.

Don't sneeze at the $130K in Utah. This may be the best financial circumstances you ever have in your life. Make the most of it. If you've got debt, pay it off. Bank a bunch of it, as nostrademons said. If you feel like it and they'll agree, take a sabbatical and do whatever you feel like (AI research, travel, ski for the winter, whatever). It'll never be this easy again.

(And yes, it seems to me that you are massively overpaid for the local market. In fact, if you don't mind sharing, who's paying you that kind of money here?)

But you feel like you're dying inside, because the job is too easy. One way to deal with that is to go to your boss and say "Have you got anything harder for me to work on?" Or look around and see what else needs solved in software where you are, and tackle it. (If you're getting your "real" - official - work done, you don't even need to ask for permission.)

Another approach would be to go part-time (if they'll let you) and go to school. If they pro-rate the salary, you'll be fine for money. You don't really need to go to school for the degree; what you need are people that you can work on hard problems with.

> If California wants to lower their housing prices

That's the rub, after you've constrained supply and inflated prices, there's a vested interest of those who've seen their values increase and those who bought at high values to not let them drop.

This is especially important for those that bought at a high value, as if the worth of their house drops, then they can find themselves in a position where they owe much more than the house is worth. We've seen this situation before, not too long ago. It's not pretty.

AFAICT, the trick is to manage growth effectively in an area through restrictions and incentives so that you try to stabilize house prices as much as possible (like the economy), such as tracking inflation and/or some other indicators. If you enact regulations that suppress new housing when demographics call for more of it, you need to offset that with incentives.

The worst thing that can happen is that a group will wrest disproportionate control over housing policy for an extended period, and then the policies they enact through self interest spiral out of control and make the situation worse for everyone.
Others are also affected by islands and territories, see France with French Guyana etc, Norway with Svalbard etc. France is quite a square country if you only consider its mainland so it is an odd choice to include non mainland areas but I guess it is a difficult greyzone on what to include and not.

My most recent real-life example: Jackson + Afterburner

I hand wrote a LA(1) style parser (and lexer) for JSON, because I wanted to experiment with a source code generation notion I had (vs reflection, or bytecode generation). I was surprised that in micro benchmarks, Jackson + Afterburner is still twice as fast as my stuff. I had to understand why.

Turns out it does the lex/parse equivalent of unrolling and inlining (cut and paste) absolutely everything. The code is utterly baffling.

My implementation's jar is ~30Kb, fast enough (faster than all but Jackson + Afterburner, Boon), stupid simple, and works the way I want, so I'll keep using it for my projects.
