>The reality is that intolerance of hateful speech rarely makes hate go away.

Is there any evidence either way? I don't have the source at hand, but I believe there was some study done that found that Reddit, after removing communities which spread hate, turned out significantly better for it, with less vitriol all round. The hate literally went away.

>Remember, high ranking Nazi leaders were imprisoned

Here is a quote from Hitler opposing what you are saying:

"Only one thing could have broken our movement — if the adversary had understood its principle and from the first day had smashed, with the most extreme brutality, the nucleus of our new movement."

You say,

>Aside from instances where the suppression of speech is nearly certain to avoid negative consequences

But isn't the distance between speech and action shorter now than it ever was? Here is a quote from 1965; do you think, with the most recent flash riots organised over the Internet in which people have literally been killed, these words are more relevant than ever?

"The traditional criterion of clear and present danger seems no longer adequate to a stage where the whole society is in the situation of the theater audience when somebody cries: 'fire'. It is a situation in which the total catastrophe could be triggered off any moment, not only by a technical error, but also by a rational miscalculation of risks, or by a rash speech of one of the leaders. In past and different circumstances, the speeches of the Fascist and Nazi leaders were the immediate prologue to the massacre. The distance between the propaganda and the action, between the organization and its release on the people had become too short."
Or you just forget about trying to game your employer and just make a good product, satisfied that you're being paid an industry-leading salary and that you and your coworkers' stock options are going to make all of you into multi-millionaires.

> If we want to keep housing affordable, we'll have to settle for valuations staying pretty much constant in real dollars forever

This is basically the argument for buying into a co-op rather than buying an apartment. You aren't allowed to flip them for a profit, which means they're less expensive because you're giving up optionality. (At least when they actually are implemented as originally intended.)

To me this makes a ton of sense, because there are a lot of benefits to home ownership for both the individual and society, but real estate generally isn't a good place to put investible dollars unless you're super wealthy and just want some (relatively) predictable income from renters.

What we really need though is public housing for the middle class and upper middle class, rather than just for low-income families. Right now public housing is basically just a scam to transfer money from the middle class to the super wealthy by using money from the middle class to subsidize labor at below a living wage, when in reality everyone needs a house so it's a textbook example of a market where there should be a public option.
Dramatically Margin Call was better than Big Short/Wolf, I thought. It was extremely tense, and and almost claustrophobic in its depiction of the ambience.
I like the wood, I think it is nice to see someone go a different route than copying Apple’s all metal, clean look. It’s a warm and organic look which feels fresh. I also suspect that the wood might help the machine dampen noise which would be welcome.

They also copied a page from Apple’s eco playbook and will plant a tree for every machine sold which is nice to see. A solid move given the company’s size and reach. I wish more IT companies would use that as a marketing move, it has good signaling value and helps drive change.

I’d like them to do even more with the wooden look and feel, but their cases are still not far removed from a typical desktop. I think it would be great to see them do something really small, in the Mac Mini style, but with that warm wood look. That would look great on any desk.

I’d also like to see someone Hackintosh those machines just for fun.
Wait for the Raptor Blackbird. They're apparently trying for a very competitively priced POWER9 system with that one, as in sub-$1k.

One component of the problem is that "housing" isn't a free market. More specifically, if you buy a plot of land in nearly any city or town, you aren't free to build whatever you want (e.g. building a duplex or small apartment building). The housing supply is centrally controlled by the local (and possibly other levels of) government, via zoning rules and building codes. Property owners tend to vote more than renters or future residents, so they generally vote for a more controlled supply of property which helps to keep prices on an upwards trend.

What seems to help with this Japan is that zoning and building codes are top down from the highest level of government, so they can adjust supply according to flows of people. E.g. Tokyo builds as many units of housing as people who move into the city. (Among other differences.)
Well, you were, quite blatantly, but you've now edited the comment to not do that - thanks. It seems we're in agreement on the important bit.
Gnome was built on GTK and GObject, libraries that have always had well defined licensing.

KDE was built on Qt, a framework that did not always have the licensing it has today.

GTK and GObject are C libraries, and many constructs are easy to reason about. Qt is C++ based and there is a LOT going on and the meta compiler is insane.
Getting rid of zoning laws only works if you have a lot of extra land to sprawl out onto. Otherwise, even if you build up to get more dense ala NYC, HK, Tokyo, or Shanghai, the area will just become more attractive and more people will want to live there. No easy solutions here.
You are not wrong in general about the tax code favoring those with certain kinds of housing wealth.

But in particular regarding depreciation, the IRS will demand depreciation recapture at time of sale whether you actually took depreciation at any point in the property history or not. So if you don't want to pay double taxes you have to take the depreciation every year.
This is a strange article.

The first book discussed, Baba Yaga, isn't even Soviet, it was published in France by an organization that could be described as anti-soviet if you look at it's history.

The second book, is claimed to be non-revolutionary, for some reason. Labeling a mosque as a "museum" is the result of fairly standard communist dogma. Not sure how that's "breaking the rules of propaganda". It is in fact propaganda.
I won't claim to understand GPUs, but I've read a LOT of comments from people complaining about NVIDIA cards on Linux.

As I understand it, AMD is pushing more open standards, although I don't know how it compares in terms of performance. I actually have a tab open right now with the ROCm [0] docs, since I was looking to learn a bit more about what they were up to. They supports Tensorflow, although I don't think they're first-class citizens like NVIDIA.

Except that governments are free to create arbitrary laws. So there certainly are a number of schemes the government can use to balance these two things, though most people would claim they are "socialist" because many revolve around subsidizing first time homeowners.

Cuttings and grafting are both clonal reproduction. They are by definition asexual, because there is no recombinant chromosomes. Grafting to rootstock creates a genetic chimera. It does not mix chromosomes at all.
Luckily you don't have to do anything to make that happen.

Housing is going to correct in a serious way, and soon.

Quantitative easing artificially keeping lending rates low screwed the housing market. That's in the process of correcting in a major way.

At the same time, the increasing rates are going to hit the stock market in a bad way, decreasing general liquidity for down payments.

The real headline is: "you can't keep high prices and increase mortgage rates amidst stagnant incomes."

A few other considerations:

Baby boomers are a huge population. The generations afterwards simply don't match their numbers. That generation is still primarily homeowners. As they age, that's no longer going to be the case, and the supply constrained market is going to reverse as houses get handed down or put on the market.

New developments and construction/renovation are targeting higher-end buyers, which makes affordable housing hard to find. But as everyone races to chase the higher end buyer, eventually there's going to be an over-supply and the market will tank. This was in part one of the contributing factors to the 2008 crash - new developments ended up as wastelands that eventually ended up as "affordable" housing because the buyers disappeared.

Personally, even though I'm open to buying a house at the moment, I'm staying the heck away from the market. I'm already seeing properties in my area sold a few months ago put back on the market initially for more, but then dropping the price below what they bought at.

We're approaching the cusp of the upward wave, and as rates increase, a lot of people that bought in the past two years are going to be stuck with whatever they bought into for a good while.

If you don't own a home, you are effectively short the housing market. If you own one home you are neutral: you can't sell it to make a profit because you always need one roof over your head. If you own more than one house, you are a landlord/investor and I don't know why we are giving you special treatment relative to other asset classes.

It would be better for everyone if housing was not an investment.
I want you to cite the part where it is widely recognized by US jurisprudence, because we've seen similar cases arise

You stripped away the past tense from my argument. Was that intentional, or was that a trick? Put back the past tense, and you have no point here.

If we were to take your argument to its logical conclusion and apply that ruling to individuals, I would not have the right to tell people to leave my property.

Here, you demonstrate that you didn't familiarize yourself with the case. If it's in the interest of Free Speech, then yes, as shown in the case in the YouTube video. You can answer the door and tell the Jehovah's witness to leave, but you can't keep her from walking down the sidewalk to your house. You can get a restraining order if you can show she's harassing you unlawfully. The law specifically makes a distinction between a private person who owns a house and a mining company that owns all the sidewalks and roads in town.
Japan is unique in how housing deprecates over time. Rentals also kind of works like that in the states; with older properties becoming cheaper to rent as newer stock fills the high end.
You say that like vastly increasing the productivity of our largest cities is neutral at best. This would create an extraordinary surplus, and other cities that can build out would compete for citizens, just like Texas is doing right now.
How to make my ex want me back fast
One thing you still need to consider is infrastructure like water, sewer, schools, hospitals, etc. I agree it should be easier (and thus cheaper) for landowners to build what's profitable, but there needs to be a feedback mechanism so that the things necessary for people (apart from housing) is available for them.

There was a soviet childrens short novel 'Disobedience Holiday' by Sergei Mikhalkhov, while I was a child I read it like a normal kids book, but now it looks to me, an allegory against the ills of capitalism, in the same way that Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies have their deeper meanings. It is a good story, It should be more popular.

No, you were quite blatantly misreading my argument and making your argument hypocritically.

but you've now edited the comment to not do that - thanks.

No, it never did that. I just clarified.

Effectively, you are admitting you have no counter-argument, other than your willful misreading of what I was saying all along.
I have this year oryx pro from this year. The battery life is ok to poor and honestly is one of the weaker attributes of the machine. (You have to switch to intel graphics, with nvidia on be plugged in). right now I'm at 40% battery and it says I have 2:20 minutes left, but honestly I'm browsing the web.. under load I think I get 2-3 hours with a full charge.

That being said I really like the machine.

I find this thought process unsettling.

For one, ID is not a mutually exclusive endeavor. If a company has A, B, C and D. Adding E, in this case - ID, only adds to the value of the company. Good ID never diminishes it.

I am comparing System76 with 70's IBM, Apple and Braun in my original comment. If IBM didn't pay attention to design - sure, they'd be successful probably. But ID has only added to their goodwill and brand name. Unfortunately, it is no longer true with IBM today. :-(

Executives that pay attention to ID and its value create a direct unspoken visual link with their customers. Customers notice the smallest details, perfection in every aspect of the product and they realize & get the impression about company's dedication towards other non-ID related things. Stripe does this really well. It is even more critical for a physical product that you touch and feel. ID is sort of like a short-cut of communicating the abstract concept of quality to customers. It works brilliantly as a marketing tool as well as a tool to deliver actual measurable benefits to the customer (ease of use, clarity in operation, aesthetic appeal, etc.)

>> The message of the article is we can't have our "housing values are always increasing" cake and eat our "housing is always affordable" dream too.

Replace housing, with salary and you will see why your argument isn't entirely right.

Should salaries/wages increase over time? yes. Should labor and employees remain affordable to employers? yes. Are both possible? yes.

The right question is who is paying, and what are they paying for.

Plus at the end housing is subject to the same laws of economics. Demand, supply equations, timing, value with regards to location and proximity to city enters, school districts etc.

You can't talk of home prices from one dimension alone.
Rents in Tokyo aren’t really that cheap on a square meter basis, just the size of unit you can rent is much smaller. Housing is actually more expensive to buy than many American cities (comparing equivalent sizes).
> The message of the article is we can't have our "housing values are always increasing" cake and eat our "housing is always affordable" dream too.

Sure you can, as long as you have enough overall economic growth. It won't be a particularly great investment in the sense of growing at a faster pace than the surrounding economy, but it will at least keep pace, and you can live in it meanwhile, and you can borrow money for it, so it's leveraged, unlike most of your investments.
"...to the solar system at the time of the Unix Epoch, Thelio embodies the character of our company and community."

Nice detail.
They implement everything themselves, in part so you can build truly static libraries without paying the significant cgo tax.

The biggest thing they implemented themselves is effectively their own linux libc (including dns and networking stack).

This results in wonderful bugs like them not having a working POSIX Setuid [0] because that's implemented correctly in libc, not the linux syscall of the same name.
This release also contains the UserHomeDir function which is another example where they didn't use libc and thus implemented it incorrectly.

You have to justify using any outside libraries in the go stdlib because right now there are no required external dependencies, so adding one is a very high bar indeed.

While I don't disagree with a lot of your argument, according to some preliminary research it seems like there's about as many millennials as boomers. Like 77 million boomers, 65 million gen x, 75 million gen y.
In Asia, house value is like car value. People want to buy brand new ones, and the minute it's used, it's worthless. People can live in their old house as long as they want to, but young people would prefer a clean new house free of mold (humidity makes it inevitable) and other problems and they can get a new house relatively affordably.

It works very well. The fact house prices in America/many Western countries increase with time is an anomaly that applies to no other item as far as I know, barring the odd historical/valuable antiques. But nobody can predict their value 10 years from now.
Likewise, almost no one cares what a Jehovah's witness has to say.

The US government coming in and telling a private entity, no you must tolerate free speech on your property is historical fact and precedent.

There is a lawsuit where a company owned this mining company town, including all of its roads and sidewalks. A Jehovah's witness won a lawsuit on the basis of the First Amendment, enabling her to walk about that town and distribute her pamphlets.

Originally, it was once widely recognized by US jurisprudence, though property rights and freedom of association are important, the First Amendment was even more important and trumps property rights.

Surprisingly few people care if a den of hate speech has trouble finding a DNS registrar.

Surprisingly few people cared when the US government carted off my bandmate's parents to concentration camps. That's a very poor metric to apply to a principle of rights and justice.
> Rent costs are directly tied to property values.

In the long term, probably. But definitely not in the short or middle term. There can be many years where the ratio deviates from the norm. So "directly" is not definitely not the word I'd use.

I barely got out of the last downturn. I did a very un-HN thing and went and got a 2 year MBA on top of my engr degree. I made my last mortgage payment from across the country and less than 12 months later the housing crash started.

Now, I see the market at a peak again and I'm not going _anywhere near_ this thing. I also contemplate whether I will ever afford a family sized place in a nice location. I am not sure but I wonder if I may have missed the boat on this.

I don't see a social adjustment to housing happening in my lifetime so at this point I'm just hoping that a major downturn happens during a time I'm not having a startup fail but instead on a rise from time off consulting or a successful company.

I wouldn't give up what I've done to have worked corporate for the past decade, but I'm also completely beholden to macro trends in housing with timing that feels completely like luck to me.
Fair point, but people tend to demand less space right? Is the average-sized rental affordable for the average income in the city? I've heard the relative affordability is better than most of the Western world.

Co ops are just apartments whose land is owned by a corporation. The corporation usually has a perpetual interest only loan on the land. So when you buy a co op you are leasing the land and own a share in the apartment. You tend to give up options but no one really benefits. I don’t know other markets but condos in nyc are prob 30-50% more valuable in part due to these options. It’s cheaper but only because it’s objectively worse as anyone who had to deal with a co op board can attest. You can make things cheaper by making hem less valuable sure, but that’s just destroying value for no reason. Imagine you don’t like how expensive cars are so you make it so that you need a background check and waiting period to buy a car. Will new car prices go down? Probably, but that’s not a good thing
Housing prices have been more or less flat in Tokyo for 30 years.

https://marketurbanismreport.com/tokyos-affordable-housing-s...

> According to the website RealEstate.co.jp, average housing prices throughout Greater Tokyo have actually decreased since 2006. In 2014, the average price of second-hand condos was 27,890,000 yen, or about $232,914. This is above the U.S. median of $187,000, but is a steal when considering that average housing prices in many destination U.S. cities are triple or quadruple this amount.
