Do they mean more than 30% of income on rent? And does it mean income minus taxes?

If you are worried, make a copy of your current Xcode before you get 9.0.1. Different versions of Xcode can happily live side by side: an install of Xcode is completely self-contained. You will only have problems going back to an earlier version if you make new API calls or you use Swift 4. Unchanged projects can be compiled by 9.0.1 and, if that fails for some reason, you can go back to the previous version.
Not surprising at all. None of my colleagues have anything public. If that's not your thing I struggle to understand why should you.
The "supply argument", and I start by admitting I cannot do this debate justice in the space of a HN comment, reminds me of the futurama joke: "you are technically correct, the best kind of correct".

If budgets/demand increases, and supply does not adjust, then prices rise. It's Econ 101, and it's technically true. But like most technically true answers, there something unsatisfyingly unhelpful about it.

Tokyo is likely strange due to the particular timing and history of housing and economic bubbles in Japan, vis a vis the millenium bubble and post gfc story that's been playing out for most English speaking nations.

From a later year Economics point of view though, we can start asking some bigger questions:

-what factors contribute to increased demand
-should supply increase to match demand?
-could any market have increased supply sufficiently to avoid price increases in any meaningful way given the relative liquidity and elasticity of funds and demand increasing policies vs the structural inelastic nature of housing supply
- are lagged over/under supply problems possible?
- from a public policy and prudential perspective, what should we be doing to manage these issues? should policy be set by locals or by money flows (and I don't think there's an easy or universal answer to that last one)
Yes, I think the social factors are underestimated. I actually believe that most people by default would prefer to interact with a robot rather than with another human. Humans have different speeds, moods, knowledge and expertise. When you shop, you dont do it to have a social experience, you do it to get a very specific job done and in my opinion this makes humans a variable that is desireable to be removed.
It does raise the question of what jobs are worth saving? So a robot takes someones job, but it was a crappy job that they hated anyway. But they needed the money. Tough.

He was literally carrying a Nazi flag. That looks exactly like a Neo-Nazi.

I can't speak for anyone but myself. I never apply that N-word to someone I merely disagree with. I reserve it for people who literally parade around in public saying "I wear the swastika, carry the flag, and say 'I am a Nazi'." That there are people willing and comfortable doing this makes me sad.
Since you mentioned socialism I thought I'd try and address that as well.

The problem with redistribution of wealth and price setting by governments is that they cannot properly price goods and services because they have no vested interest in the effect of the resulatant price. As an analogy, it would be like sending your friend Donald Trump to buy your groceries for you, he would have no idea what he should be paying and would likely spend too much or purchase goods that you wouldn't have.

You say that we should keep our minds open in the hope that in the future this problem could be solved, but I think that by trying to look towards the future you look past the advantages of the free market.

As this relates to work compensation, the Trump analogy is still somewhat applicable. You wouldn't send Trump to negotiate your salary as he would probably overvalue you and ask for way more than you're worth to the employer, who would promptly tell both of you to look elsewhere. In a system where the government set your wages this would be great for you, as the employer would be forced to hire you at whatever ridiculous price Trump comes up with, but terrible for the business who depends on you making them more money than they spend on you. Such a system could never sustain itself in the hybrid socialist state, but would be forced to resort to complete government control of prices and wages as the weight of their own bad decsions weighed the system down.

In the capitalist/free-market system the individual takes the hit for making bad decisions, in the socialist/communist system everyone does.

There are systems that are more consistent in the way they reward employees, Gitlab [1] comes to mind, but what happens when the economy shifts and the compensation rates that the algorithm spits out are now way over or below what is normal for that position? They now have to change their algorithm again, which is effectively right where we started at as new hires will all be based off a new algorithm which would lead to dissent from the older employees.

This was all over the news when it was discovered, but for those who missed it: measles vaccination protects against other illnesses too, because the measles causes your immune system to "forget" previously learned immune responses to other pathogens[0].

I wonder if this applies more broadly: if you're already immune to one disease, it would be reasonable to expect that your body has more energy left to fight any unknown diseases it comes across.

Pretty much what I saw my short time in VFX. Met one or two people that had come in through games that said that, despite the long hours, vfx life was better. Most people at the companies were in their 20s.

After a while, you normalize it: "Oh, next few months are chill, only on 10 hour days instead of 14s. But still have to work weekends."

And since you're working so much, you're not spending all that overtime, sometimes double-time money. That's the thing vs the hours you see in other industries - at a decent company, you actually get paid for the hours you work. Now, you might have to carry your own healthcare and shit (because that's only for "staff", even if you've worked there for two years every single day) but at least you have a fair bit of money and can maybe up your quote between projects. My architect colleagues regularly put into 70-80 hrs/wk on a not great salary for a highly-trained, highly-regulated profession.

That's great for people right of college that haven't gotten burned out. They don't know anything else and even get off on comparing 'how hard' ('how many hours') they worked.

And, as you said, there are more around the corner. If you get too expensive, you might be pushed out the door. Because the margins in VFX, or so I've been told, are so low. The studios have the companies bid each other to as low as possible, and sometimes you take a loss to get a big project so you can possibly do business in the future.

I think beyond employee unionization (which I never see happening, same in programming) it seems like vfx would need a national trade organization that could help them fight against not only the power of the studios but the outsourcing to Canada and elsewhere.

Anyway, best of luck to you. Just wanted to second your comments and add a little of my own observations. I was only in for 3 or so years when I realized how debilitating and abusive it was and set out very quickly to change things up.

The Science of Developing Mental Toughness in Your Health, Work, and Life
It has bugs, and most frustrating are the regressions (for example, in some past Xcode they broke option-drag-to-copy-text editing but eventually fixed it; now in Xcode 9, it’s broken again — or at least so unreliable that I never bother to try copying that way anymore and it’s useless). While I’m partial to terminal-based editors anyway, I never felt like I required them until Xcode 8.x or so.

I really don’t understand Apple’s development tools strategy. In the old days, the “separation of concerns” that was Project Builder and Interface Builder with other developer apps and command-line tools, etc. made a lot of sense. Ever since they created the UI abomination that is Xcode 4.x and tried to shove every single thing into the same program, it’s been unstable and aggravating to use. And don’t let the 9.x version fool you; these are iTunes-style marketing versions, Xcode “9” represents AT BEST an Xcode 5.1.0.2beta3 level of usefulness.

I have a gaming display that has a 1ms response time, if I play something fast and twitchy on my PS4 (Titanfall 2 for example) on my display and then on my tv I can 100% notice the difference between the two, even when you adjust the tv to compensate (gaming mode on tv): you really do notice the extra time taken for events to occur. Titanfall 2 is actually a pretty good example because of the insane gameplay speed.

Most likely before taxes. In my experience (in the US) the usual rule of thumb has been to spend about 25% of your before-tax income on rent. But in the San Francisco Bay Area today, it's not uncommon for people to be spending 30-35% or more. I've seen apartment listings recently asking for an income of only 2.3x the rent.
No, but you can claim interest and repair costs as a means of lowering your income and other taxes. Taken to an extreme there are some people who pay net zero tax on millions in net income (they don't mind the loss as there is no tax and the long term plan is to make a capital gain on sale).

The original idea was that people would lower the rent to make renting more affordable. This rarely ever happens in practice because tweaks to the law mean that you can claim interest and expenses without actually renting the property (set the rental at an unaffordable price point and leave the house vacant).
I think maps are one widget where having a browser-/platform-level implementation has definite advantages. To be sure, depending on the browser to arrange geocoding is hazardous (I’d expect you’d get better results if you had to specify lat/long and could merely give a label to that point), and for that reason a consistent geocoding implementation as seen in a web component is good; but for the actual map rendering at least, fitting in with the platform would be good. For example, my user agent may know where I live and thus show me this place relative to that place—the sort of thing that a web component can’t possibly do.

I’m cautiously in favour of making a standardised map canvas element, without any form of geocoding (thus reducing its usefulness, admittedly), leaving it to a web component to handle geocoding through any particular provider.

(From wikipedia)[0] Spoliation has three possible consequences:

in jurisdictions where the (intentional) act is criminal by statute, it may result in fines and incarceration (if convicted in a separate criminal proceeding) for the parties who engaged in the spoliation;

in jurisdictions where relevant case law precedent has been established, proceedings possibly altered by spoliation may be interpreted under a spoliation inference, or by other corrective measures, depending on the jurisdiction;

in some jurisdictions the act of spoliation can itself be an actionable tort

You jest, but I actually wonder sometimes if this type of thing would be better for society. The dream of automation and technology was always to "let the machines do the work so we're free to enjoy life and pursue our dreams" but in a capitalist economy it ends up benefiting the owners of the machines primarily, like Walmart and Amazon, not necessarily society at large (though obviously they enable people to buy things cheaper and thus improve quality of life too, at least if people still have some source of income to afford it).

I'd like to think anybody out of a job can just be smart and entrepreneurial and create some other new value people are willing to pay for, but I'm not sure everyone's cut out for that, or how much interest markets have for most of that kind of stuff. Many more small business fail than succeed. Maybe keeping some dumb, honest jobs around would help keep the balance.

The Credit Suisse doc says foreign investment is 25% of the state of NSW, and 16% of Victoria.

But I wonder what the percentages are for Sydney and Melbourne. My anecdotal evidence is that foreigners don't really buy outside the capitals, so I expect it to be much higher.

Which would have a stronger effect on property prices, as the capitals tend to drive prices for the smaller towns.

No, they are foreign nationals. They have a child studying here are and are investing in property while they're over here settling their child in. I agree that once you emigrate they're as much a New Zealander as I. But these people have not.

The only problem I have with foreigners buying property here is that they are not in our economy they take any gains out of our economy. It increases the cost of living here without adding value.

Yes good :) that's the kind of data driven analysis we should build on.

Additionally, we have to explain why house price rises correlated strongly across particular international areas at particular times (and that's one area where international investment should not be struck off the initially unfeasible list of options until our data/theory suggests otherwise).

And additionally, if house prices are increasing, why these cities/areas and not others. If there is a reason money and investment is flowing to these places, do these policies address those fundamental reasons. If not, policies may just have to watch effects flow around policy like water flows around obstructions.

Australia's policy does not prevent people buying residential houses through trusts or corporations. Ultra-wealthy and money laundering buyers can walk around the law and often do. The only buyers stopped are those closer to median buyers (which for Sydney and Melbourne is around the 1 million dollar mark).

Overall the policy is largely ineffective at even slowing price increases.

Thailand and Australia are not comparable markets, sure foreign buyers want access to both markets but Thailand is a corrupt military junta and Australia has a mostly functional court system (but increasing levels of corruption at the top end).
