> ...but that won't keep you safe in the real world where some people will always be vicious predators.

And I'm saying the troll is the predator. He views his entertainment as more important than his "victim's" emotional state, and justifies it with arguments like, "Well, it's the internet, maaaan!" or "It's only a joke, lighten up," or "Serves them right for being so sensitive."

I flatly repudiate that kind of self-serving rationalization. If you fuck with people's emotions for your own amusement, you are a predator. Doesn't matter how "easy" it is. Doesn't matter how "sensitive" they are. You (that is, the party trolling someone) are in the wrong.

Does it change the fact that there are predators in the world? Of course not. But that still doesn't justify predation. And if you say it does, the same logic applies to muggings and sexual assault.

That's the parallel.
That's true. The product has had very, few uses with only a few failures. Hard to say how reliable it is until we see more launches.

You don't know how DDoS works.

The coffee machine might only have to send one packet per minute. The combined force of 100 million coffee machines distributed around the globe sending 1 packet per minute each to the same destination means that, in your suggested model, the end user traffic sources barely incur cost at all, while the target and every unrelated third party who happens to be unfortunate enough to be "close" to them are bankrupted.

Congratulations, you've just turned a temporary network DDoS into a permanent financial one.

Also the guide on German cultural expectations for Chinese is pretty hilarious. The thing about always making appointments and staying in queues is very different from how it is in China.

Also, do Germans seriously need to separate out green glass, clear glass, and brown glass bottles? Do Germans need to keep 7+ bins in their homes as well, or do they just separate it out later?

it's working quite well, along with the ad nauseam propaganda saying that "ad blockers = stealing content." That if you use anything to block ads, you're "entitled" and "you don't deserve to see that content."

The Node CLI is pretty good. Almost does everything the Powershell CLI does and works across platforms.

Their web portal is a lot better after they moved to the new "preview" one. The classic portal was pretty bad, but their transition from the classic to the new portal was even worse. There was a time period where certain operations were only available in the classic portal and other services were only available in the new portal. The transition took many, many months (maybe a year) and the new portal was initially very slow.

If you look at Google Cloud's and AWS admin portal, they are not really any better. Probably is a result of these cloud providers providing so many services, it's hard to organize it all. The others have faults also. For example, I hate how AWS does their form validation when creating new resources. You don't even know what's wrong until after clicking "submit" / "create", azure is more single page app like. With AWS, if the service you are creating requires a dependent resource like an s3 bucket for logging, you have to go create that dependency first. With Azure, you can choose to use an existing dependent resources or create new ones all in a single operation. There also seems to be less organization in AWS. With Azure, I like how Azure does their directory structure of sub panes. You can view all services at once with particular ordering like datacenter region or drill into a particular resource group or service type. With AWS, you always have to go to that particular service's "website" whether S3 or DynamoDB, etc.

Very well put. Personally, I'm a big fan of rent control as a general concept but I think what people are missing is that rent control isn't actually a solution for this specific problem.

Home prices aren't being driven up by developer greed or predatory landlords, they are stabilized at a rate acceptable to the market. In this case, since the availability is limited you are allowing a small percentage of the total population (those with outsized buying power) to define what is acceptable.

Rent control (alone) just pushes the problem down the road. Build more and everyone will be happy...eventually.

3) Create a scam device, describe it in detail.

4) Go present it with you own face and name to the DEFCON.

5) Write a blogpost about the said non-existent device.

As someone who's been at hedge funds for over a decade, I often wonder what I'd do if I just had ordinary access to the markets.

First of all, I have to ask why the equity market should be your benchmark. And if it's because you think the market generally goes up (not obvious) why don't you just get leverage on your ETF, so that you basically always beat the market?

There's another way to beat the market. Smart beta products do variations of it, but here's a concrete one. Basically my brother had some class about markets and needed something fast, so I just told him to take the S&P 500, lop off the top 25% of stocks measured by beta, and scale up the rest. Ta-da. You'll probably find costs are high, and there's a bunch of admin, but I suspect there's now a bunch of smart beta ETFs that do the same thing.

As for the EMH, I doubt that it's true. The problem for ordinary people is you won't be allowed to invest in strategies that are very good.

It makes sense for people on the inside: suppose I have a strategy, with a Sharpe > 5, that uses very little capital. What am I going to do with that? Get investors? No, I'll borrow money and take the profits myself.

What does that leave? A bunch of strategies with much less attractive risk profiles. If I have a Sharpe of around 1, I'm expecting long flat periods. I'll have to get investors for that. But investors are fickle. One bad year and they flee, even though you should have one every few years. You could easily have a couple of losing years with that kind of Sharpe. So what do we find with that type of shop? They're made of marketing. Box-checker salespeople who know what to say to institutional investors. IIs who buy IBM. Or are quick to jump the gun. /rant

The queue paragraph was interesting because that is one thing we Germans don't do very well compared to other countries.

But yes, there are separate containers on the street for brown, clear, and other glass (not to mention the deposit you pay for certain bottles that you get back when returning them to the store). Seven different bins might be a bit much but every one I know has separate bins for packaging, paper, bio waste, and non-recyclable waste in their home (that's not something you want to separate later on) – these are the ones that are collected separately by the garbage collection service. The rest (like bottles and batteries) usually gets no extra bin.
There are projects that are teetering on the edge of profitability (in terms of cap rate.) Increase permitting times, shave off a few stories, force more units to be below market rate, and all of a sudden those projects evaporate.

Suppose you have a project that's viable if you can rent the units at $X and then raise rents along with inflation. Then the rent control board comes in and limits increases to a sub-inflationary level. Great, just compensate for it by increasing your initial rents. Now it takes you 4 months to fill every unit in our hypothetical property rather than 2 months.

There are two different questions there.

Angular 1 was written by people who knew nothing but OO programming. JavaScript isn't OO. So they spent a lot of time square pegging a round hole because they were ignorant of what they were doing (probably a group of young coders).

People are now starting to get on the functional train (which JavaScript is more like than OO), and angular is trying to now fix the fact they were short sighted and too opinionated about the wrong things.

JavaScript, in general, has always been in a rapid state of change. Or, more broadly, the UI of the web. From flash and silverlight to mootools and jquery and CSS animations and canvas... there isn't a good way to do web UIs yet. There is a lot of trial and error happening which makes for some rough waters.

In one of the apartments I had in Germany, next to the dumpster for trash was a giant thing for placing your sorted recyclables. Another apartment had such a limited trash can, if you didn't recycle, you couldn't possibly throw everything out. I am American and was a military wife with some ridiculously oversized American truck that just didn't fit in many of the parking space, and I once spent like a week with a bag of trash in the back of my truck, looking for a place to dispose of it. I finally found a dumpster on base that I could use.

Last I checked, Germany was like the recycling capital of the world, in terms of having well developed systems for making it happen and ensuring that a high percentage of items got recycled.

Though, to be fair, I lived in Germany like 25 years ago, so this info could well be out of date.

Deadweight loss doesn't affect things that are already obviously good ideas or obviously bad ones. It only affects things on the margin - the least profitable units that developers would still be interested in building.

Suppose a developer can build as tall as they wanted to, but each additional floor is more expensive: the break-even point is that each extra floor needs $100/month additional rent per unit. If you use law to force prices $100/mo lower, then the tallest floor doesn't get built anymore, because now it's not worth building.

(And if rent controls don't actually reduce the rents that people pay, then the controls aren't actually doing anything, so why have the overhead of the law? If you're reducing prices by law, things that people want to buy at or above the reduced price and sell at or below the market price don't get traded.)

> English is very nice for describing abstract concepts

I (native German speaker) find German much nicer for describing abstract concepts. Alone for the fact that one can often add a suffix to the stem of a verb to express "the abstract process of doing this", for example

etikettieren (to label) -> Etikettierung (the process act of tagging)

Don't say there is an English noun for it ((the) labelling) - such a concept also exists in German (das Etikettieren). But there is a subtile difference between a noun describing the activity (das Etikettieren) and a noun describing the abstract process of doing the activity (die Etikettierung). This difference is in my opinion nearly impossible to express in English and is one reason why writing abstract things is IMHO easier in German than in English.

German words in my opinion tend to be much more precise (and used in a much more precise way) than their English counterparts. I have read a long time ago that the translation English -> German is particularly hard for automatic computer translation since English is very sloppy in its usage of words while German is very exact.

We also have the fact that you can join nouns in Germany to develop rather abstract concepts that are nearly impossible to write down this way in English, like the infamous Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz (a law with such a name actually existed in Germany).

Also because of the precise German punctuation and structure of interleaved sentences (in subordinate clauses the finite verb is at the end) it is very easy to express interleaved sentences in German (up to three ranks is still quite understandable) that would be nearly impossible to understand in English.
It's not just that. Actually, most rent control policies allow new or unoccupied units to be rented out at the market rate.

The problem is that the legal increase in rents is generally capped, so if the tenants who move in today remain in the rental units for many years, eventually they will be paying far below market rate.

On the other hand, the cost of insurance, maintenance, etc. for the landlord will continue to increase at the market rate, so the landlord's profit on rent will continually shrink and may become negative. That's obviously going to make developing new rental properties less attractive.
