Britain's Windrush mess revives support for ID cards
From that: < The majority of our hosts are sharing the home in which they live, not removing permanent housing from the market. In fact, as NYU researchers recently found, in order for someone to make as much money from an Airbnb guest as from a long-term tenant, they would have to share a home for 216 nights a year in New York City — more than triple the number of nights that a typical listing is shared. >

They do not address the possibility that the atypical minority (which presumably is apartments used exclusively for AirBNB and not otherwise occupied by a tenant) might cause the $626M rent increase illustrated by the study. This paragraph seems to be a diversionary tactic, "No, look only at these facts".
Are AirBnb competitors contributing to this as well? Companies such as Tripping.com, FlipKey, HomeAway, etc.

Yes, an equivalent in QML would look like this if you want it in a single file:

Component {
id: a
Text { text: "foo" }
}

Component {
id: b
Rectangle { Loader { sourceComponent: a } }
}

but the language really wants you to have one component per file, so :

A.qml:

Text { text: "foo" }

B.qml

Rectangle { A { } }

> if QT is the same,

It's not. QML is at its core not a functional language, it's a declarative & reactive language. In my experience, at least 30-40% of QML code does not need any functions.

> There's no magic and no binding/loading.

I'm not sure we are using the same meaning of binding. The "A" token in your example is obviously bound to the "A" variable declared before.

> It also isn't done by inference of an ID (which would be registration).

ids in QML are just the variable names. eg

Rectangle {
A { id: foo }
width: 2 * foo.width
}
There's nothing in a CS degree that you can't brush up in a self-study.

For example, I have a hard time believing my compilers class at UT serves me better than someone taking one of the compiler MOOCs I've seen people mention on HN from time to time. Especially since it was 10 years ago. The class cost me over $2,800 too.

It might be tempting to think a CS degree would help you know more about things you don't, but I think it can be an excuse to not just dig into it yourself. It's not like CS majors graduate with an understanding of OS and compilers in the wild they'd have to actually debug.
If the courses are run specifically for a group of people, based on their attributes, this subjects them to bias before they even walk in the door.

One way that this sort of sexist/racist approach could be detrimental is if it's served by one, or few, organisations, the courses could accidentally (or, in extremis, purposefully) be using methods that cause entrenchment of existing partitions between different groups of people. Perhaps one set of courses teaches in a certain innocent manner, and the minorities that consume the course therefore learn in a particular way, or leave out key issues.

There's also the possibility of being indoctrinated against those groups that are not welcomed; again, not necessarily on purpose - I don't intend to demonise such organisations.

Somewhat analogous to recent machine learning/algorithms being found to be prejudiced as their programmers may be unknowingly prejudiced - e.g. facial recognition working poorly for faces of people with dark skin.
No. Email is not a scheduler, and it has never stopped someone from interrupting me. If email solved this, there wouldn't be a problem.

I want something that forces people to try to answer their own questions for a few minutes, or at least expect to wait, before asking. When there's a small cost to asking the question, a high percentage of the time, the request will vanish on it's own. The asker will answer their own question or realize the question wasn't what they really wanted to ask.

Part of the point of what I'm suggesting is to allow people to cancel their request. With my app suggestion, I'm hoping/expecting like half the interruptions (random made-up number) to just go away. Email doesn't do that, in fact it gets worse with email, you waste time reading the question and again reading the answer, or worse, answering the question only to find out the "nevermind" email was buried further down.
That might have also to do with how movies are made usually. If you really think about it, most detectives in detective stories abuse power and do things that cops really really should not. But, we are supposed to suspend reality and root for them.

Same with action movies - main character does a lot of damage to everyone around, steal cars, hurt innocent people and we are supposed to ignore that. Happy end involves massive fight in the middle of city that would displace thousands of families. And so on and so forth.

People take the usual expected reading of movies and apply them to these too.

It is possible to make movies differently. I have seen movies that made me feel bad about violence and events and that made it clear that "this is not a cool thing". But the movies mentioned here are not like that - they sort of criticise it but are still made so that we feel happy about them. They show events from the point of view of perpetrator, but not much from point of view of their victims.

These films are meant to depict a certain type of person, one who is drawn to the appeal of wealth and particularly the excess and display present in certain communities. I can imagine how someone who had this type of predisposition would feel inspired if they were exposed to that lifestyle by one of these movies and develop an aspiration for the specific position where previously it was a more amorphous longing for wealth and privilege.

> but if I'm a landlord, why would I give up having a stable tenant paying market rate rent for 12 months at a time for essentially managing a hotel room.

As of today, there is a lot less paperwork involved, and also the tenant has fewer rights. If you rent for 12 months, and they stop paying you, it could take you many months to get rid of that person, and you'd never get the money back. You also have to find renters and negotiate leases yourself.

With AirBnB, they take care of the finding and negotiating part, and if you manage to get a popular spot, you'll make far more money with the short term rentals, even accounting for AirBnBs cut and any service providers you might need to maintain the place.

It's more along the lines of: electromagnetic radiation causes tissue to warm up, warmer tissue can lead to trouble.

Zero is not rock bottom. A lot of stores of value have negative returns. Zero is high in a lot of contexts.

Historically, negative real returns on stores of value were the norm. Before financial systems existed, almost all investments had negative returns if you didn’t put work and energy into them. To store value, you had to accumulate stuff, buildings or land. Most options either had high maintenance costs, were subject to risk of damage from natural causes and theft, were very volatile or required hard labor to get production out of.

Even in societies with financial systems, getting low risk, hassle free, liquid, positive real returns has been difficult for most of history. This just reflects the natural laws of thermodynamics that tell us that everything tends to decay without a constant supply of work and energy. In general, most things require maintenance to keep their worth.

The 20th century was probably the most notable exception. Because of unprecedented demographic and technological growth, positive risk free real returns were easy to find. The recency effect probably explains some of the confusion people have about this. It is possible that under favorable conditions, wealth can have positive returns and even compound into very good long run returns but it is not a guarantee and there is nothing natural about it. It may not continue forever, particularly amidst an aging and retiring population in a world no longer as rich in easy to exploit natural resources.

While people are used to get negative returns on very short term purchases, you buy fresh vegetables at the supermarket, even if they degrade over time, many can’t seem to accept the normalcy of negative returns on longer term assets. In nature, squirrels’ nut caches have a certain percentage of losses from theft and spoilage. Real returns tending towards the negative is natural even if they can seem unusual for people just out of the 20th century.

You don't need 1 government to do this. You need EVERY government to do this.

This is useful, in the sense that someone in venezuela is at serious risk of the government taking their money if it is in a bank, but they really couldn't do that to their Bitcoin.

Yes, if it is the US government doing the banning, you are significantly less likely to get around the ban.

But the world is not US centric. There are many governments would try to oppress their population by using the power of the banks, but would be significantly less effective against crypto transactions.

People are using crypto right NOW to get around many currency control laws implemented by governments. So they are successful getting around financial censorship that is already happening.

A filesystem-level transaction would be a good idea. Maybe some FSes (e.g. ZFS) already support such a thing. You can get this (somewhat awkwardly) for a single file with any FS that supports copy-on-write by making a (lazy) copy of the file, doing your updates there, and then renaming it to the original file name (which is guaranteed to be atomic on most FSes). With smaller files this is standard practice even on FSes without copy-on-write.

No, they really don't. Some hardware devices might. I'm not aware of any SAN that does. (I've specifically asked this question of the developers of three.)

In Linux, not since 2010 they don't [1], for exactly the reason that they're poorly implemented by devices.

As things stand, currently, Turkey's candidacy isn't going to be going forward anytime soon. But that's not the point. It is an official candidate, so Eurostat keeps an eye on it. If Israel became a candidate, Eurostat would do ditto (though for practical reasons Israel also won't be a candidate anytime soon).

Incidentally, Turkey is also in a customs union with the EU, the only non-EU/EEA/EFTA country of any significant size to be in one. This gives Eurostat added incentive to keep an eye on it.

Israel is a member of or involved in various non-EU pan-European things (EBU, Council of Europe etc), but Eurostat is an EU thing, not a European thing.

I'm not sure that means you are an imposter. If your coworkers are equally unfit for the job as defined by whatever high bar you've set for yourself, then you belong there just as much as they do and you likely have a higher bar for yourself than your employer has for hiring people. I agree that everyone should strive to be the best that they can be but I think imposter syndrome is a delusion some people have where they feel that they know less than everyone around them and they worry their colleagues will find them out, when in reality they are quite qualified. It doesn't automatically follow that if you recognize that you haven't met your own standard that you would also believe you haven't met your employers standards. I regularly feel I haven't done a good enough job by my own standard but realize it is good enough for the goals my employer has with regard to the work I'm doing.
It's surprising how long code lives. In most organisations I have worked in, companies talk of rewriting legacy code but very few of these projects replace the existing code. There was a front-page article on Cobol here of HN a couple of days ago. Management tends to be interested in new features and I have noticed there is always a reluctance to change something that is already working.
Residents are not renters. The number of renters in NYC was evidently around 5.4 million in 2016.

Even so, not every renter is a separate rental unit; dividing the figure by the number of rental units would be more useful since it would indicate the impact on the price of rent.

I'm guessing a lot of the Airbnb rentals are just those traditional sublets showing up in an easy to quantify form.

This not true for NYC. There's always demand for rooms in NYC with quick turnover. There's always real estate speculators with empty rooms.

In the end, you really answered your own question:

the 'rent per day' is going to be a lot better with the hotel room model

You're right, it is a different business to manage, and maybe you're after less risk/more passive income as a landlord, but you can't make that assumption for everyone. Plus, AirBNB takes care of most of the paperwork.

I am curious, doesn’t the legality of roommates also drive up rents? It seems like if roommates weren’t a thing, it would drive rents down simply because people wouldn’t be able to afford apartments in many cases without a roommate.

I am not suggesting a ban on roommates of course, but it does seem like there are a large number of variables that affect rent prices. We could argue that AirBnB constricts long term housing supply while roommates constrict long term housing supply for single or family renters as well.

If a one bedroom goes for $4000 and there are two roommates, that means the price the market would support for a single person is $2000. So without roommates, the market would have to adjust to the price people were able to pay: $2000. But then again, that could also restrict supply since there are more people competing for a finite supply.

My point is that while it’s convenient to blame AirBnB — the truth is far more complex. We also have to consider the effects of the extra income earned by owners — that income goes to buying things or investing, which, it could be argued, benefits the economy. There is also the question of how many visitors to New York actually can now afford to visit New York because of wider housing availability — if we drive up lodging rates, that’s less money coming into the city. If I have to spend $250 for a hotel vs. $150 for an AirBnB, that means I can buy more pizza, thus putting more money into pizza shops and supporting those workers. Additionally, if a hotel is $250, maybe I don’t visit at all, which would result in 0 economic benefit to the city.

The economics of this aren’t as sound-byte friendly as many might think.

If we want to be fair, we should also address how much additional rent New Yorkers pay due to rent-control and the housing illiquidity that promotes.

If the hotel industry is so concerned, then perhaps they ought to reevaluate their efficiency and pricing and reconsider their years and years of charging $10 for a bottle of water. Perhaps the city could also reconsider the occupancy taxes, sales taxes and all the other fees cities love to stick tourists with.

Tourists already pay sales taxes when they buy a meal. They buy products and experiences which generate significant economic activity, jobs and all the tax revenue that creates. But for some reason, cities see tourists as a piggy bank rather than the engine of economic activity they are.
