nah man, this argument gets torn apart because "rent control doesn't apply to new developments so it's neutral on new development"

What it does is it takes rental units off the market because being faced with the maintenance risk of 5 or 20 year or however long the tenant stays fixed income vs. convert it to owner-occupied housing and take a large payout now, landlords often choose to ellis up the place.

And if they don't remove rental stock, then they're incentivized to provide shittier service -- delay repairs, delay upkeep, ignore tenant requests -- to encourage the rent-controlled tenant to move elsewhere so they can reset their price.
Hear that poor people? You are a bunch of terrible people for taking advantage of the one bone the upper class has thrown to you!

What about market signals and what about all the people who own multiple houses? Why aren't you thinking about them?

The nerve of yuppies on this site calling rent control a problem. How about the problem that investors have no incentive to make new apartments in major cities for low and middle income families. The big cost isnt construction, its the land. Why would they build new buildings and charge half of what they could be getting?

How about start building new low income buildings smack dab in the middle of big cities, THEN talk about eliminating rent control, not the other way around.
They might not port Mono's WinForms to .NET Core? Given how strictly tied to Windows WinForms is, they may not want to give enterprises they are encouraging to use .NET Core any confusion on the subject. Taking that extra step of trying to run the application on Mono shows at least some awareness of possible compatibility issues in the software.

That said, this may still be a great opportunity for .NET Core to encourage trying Mono in its documentation for enterprises looking for cross-platform support. (Hopefully they already knew about Mono by this point, but an extra push won't hurt.

Sort of shameless plug, but if you are looking into such solution you could have a look also at https://redisql.com/

It is a redis module that embed SQLite, bringing on the table a lot of advantages. Extremely fast and with it you can even upgrade your Redis instance to be your only database.

There is not a huge company behind it, but I really do my best to support it. I don't believe to have disappointed any of our users so far.

Also the tech documentation: http://redbeardlab.tech/rediSQL/references/
No the companies I mentioned don't just have a presence "in" NYC. Google owns an entire city block with some 5K employees. It's the biggest office outside of Mountain View. Spotify's headquarter are also NYC and that some 3K employees. Sales Force also owns a building in midtown. FB has 10 floors. These are not "satellite" offices.

And the point is that 50K people is not some magic tipping point that is going to fix NYC infrastructure issues.

JP Morgan chase has 15K employees in it new building on 270 Park Ave and guess what, NYC infrastructure woes didn't disappear.

Plex also does Photos and Podcasts. Not that I've ever used them.
Then you don't really get my point which is that emphasis on the precise meaning of "natural" or what is "saving" is pedantry that no one cares about.

The meaning of "save" in this concept is well understood to mean the connection between human needs/wants and the earth or environment.

The whole point of my lengthy reply was to object to the validity making an argument like "just natural processes".

Polio is "just [a] natural process". One which killed many children. It was a natural process that humans worked hard to eradicate. So, great - let's say anthropogenic global warming is a natural process ... and work hard to eradicate it too.

CFCs in the air are a natural process. We worked hard to eradicate them.

Human killing of whales is a natural process. We decided that we should instead "save the whales".

"All we are doing is making the earth more suitable for humans to live, that's it."

That's too simplistic. We also work to change the human understanding of what "suitable" means.
You left out the strongly anti-development electorate in Santa Monica. There was a measure on the ballot last year to restrict all development over 32 feet to require a city-wide vote. It was only narrowly defeated.

Rent control is just a scapegoat against that.
Personally, I think I prefer the idea of adopting sccache more with some kind of trust system for sharing caches (official build servers, a consensus system, or something else?).

After programming C++ for years, I much prefer relying on a lowest common denominator like C for a stable ABI. This also lets Rust do whatever optimizations it wants (like compacting enums / structs).
Why Purely 'Decentralized'​ Security Token Exchanges Will Remain Theoretical
Its relatively easy. All the big tech crops are paying effectively below 1% of their profits in Europe and are moving almost all of their profits to tax havens. As these companies are very creative when measuring their localized profits, its easier and more fair to impose a tax at the revenue level.

I don't understand all the negative comments here. Look at the big profit margins of all big tech companies (maybe with the exception of Amazon retail) and ask yourself whether a moderate, unavoidable tax is really unjustified or will have negative effects on anyone (except maybe the shareholders). I don't think so and in my opinion tech workers should be a bit more mindful when thinking about these taxation topics. I prefer paying high taxes strongly to further social segregation, which will lead to the development of civil unrest and lower quality of life for everyone sooner or later...
Public employees over here in Quebec are unionized to hell and back, and it often ends up with protecting incompetent workers. I had a teacher back in college that was teaching extremely outdated material, didn't know anything about what she was teaching, and the whole department knew about it. A teacher told us that they all wanted her gone for years now, but unless she committed fraud or literally murdered a student, she was basically unfireable because of her union-negociated work contract.

Not saying unions are unjustified in all cases, but to be fair, they visibly _do_ get obtrusive in some instances. It's another problem than our southern neighbors though.

> High prices attract investment in more housing,

Often planning laws restrict new housing...

> usually denser housing

...and denser housing

> Rent Control prevents the market signals from working.

Rent control is also unfair, if some people (selected how?) are entitled to it and other people not entitled.

I am against rent controls unless it is a right for all. By this I mean that anyone[1] living in a city can go to the local authority and say "I want a rent-controlled flat" and the local authority would be legally entitled to let them one, building new houses where necessary. This would mean the local authority would be required to act on market signals of people wanting rent-controlled housing.

I feel that way, too, but I understand some of the reasons people still want to see a ".NET Framework 5.x".
Exactly.

Rental subsidies increase incentives to build new buildings and rentable stock.

But of course once you talk about transferring income to the less fortunate why ear mark it for rent? Why not let them choose to spend it how they want?
The Windows 10 store may need improvement but the “new” Mac App Store is not the model to copy.

It’s harder than ever before to find anything because most browsing options are far, far worse. Lots of things have infuriatingly small default sizes, hiding additional information behind unnecessary “more” links (I have a giant screen with a window that is mostly empty, and I have to click “more” to reveal the 3rd of 3 bullet points in an app summary). They devote absurd editorial space to 1-2 apps and act like nothing else even exists in their store. That written content is locked inside the store, impossible to access from the web.

And, I personally had new purchases right up until the new store launched, with zero purchases since then (despite fully embracing video previews, etc.).

The thing is, they have lots of useful pieces in app stores, they’re just ridiculously bad at assembling them in useful ways. No wonder no one is buying.
Code generation can be useful if it produces provably correct code. Any abstraction you write yourself you still have to test carefully. For example it's a lot easier and safer to use something that generates statemachines from descriptions that writing your own statemachine interpreter.
As a French, I totally support this tax. It's easier and more expedient to do it this way than to reform the taxation policies of every European countries.

Pro audio for recording has been shifting to USB over the past few years. They were heavily on Firewire or PCI card formats before, but USB has finally gotten fast enough to do the throughput, and of course it's much cheaper and more standard.
This was once described to me as the Law of Enterprise Sofware:

All enterprise software sucks, because it's sold to administrators, not to users.

The managers see the purpose of software as improving their own workflow (tracking, data gathering, compliance) as well as controlling the users, not (gasp) empowering them.

Compounding the problem of enterprise software is customization. A person who works at an EHR vendor told me that every clinic system wants to develop their own bespoke workflow, in search of slightly higher efficiency, and so the thing that the user actually sees is not a well engineered system, but a hodgepodge of screens and forms that were designed at the last minute. My friend said that the user experience is a lot better at sites where the customer uses the off-the-shelf implementation with little or no customization.

That would depend on what your resolution and accuracy requirements are. Ground level or treetop? If you are willing to DIY there are freely available DEM (Digital Elevation Model) datasets that might work for you. For example ASTER[1] has global 90 meter resolution and 30 meter resolution in the USA. There are smaller, embeddable DEMs with ~1km resolution. Lots of options out there. Grab a coffee and start with an internet search for DEM.

I have the Hades' predecessor, one advantage of this line is a pair of M.2 slots in RAID that will later hold 4tb, 8tb, etc NVMe sticks allowing massively more capacity at similar speed to the Mini's storage.

The AMD graphics in the Hades' is vastly better, but still significantly inferior to anything you will connect via eGPU. A lot of casual usage will not require the Hades' GPU but you'll always pay a power/thermal price for it. As resolutions increase, or depending on your requirements now, you'll probably be forced to pair it with an eGPU because it really only excels at 1080p for 3d stuff afaik.

One nice thing from the Hades' predecessor is fanless cases, I don't know if they've emerged yet for the Hades Canyon but going fanless is really amazing. Prior to that it could be loud, and the Hades added a second loud fan for the GPU.
Clock time doesn't matter, you're right, but it very does matter what time school starts in relation to when the Sun goes up and down - at least if teens spend a good amount of time outside or in rooms with windows.

What a fantastic story. This is only the tip of the shady real estate iceberg probably.
> The couple was forced to put up their real estate holdings as collateral to ensure that they pay the fine.

That eliminates at least some avenues of avoidance. That's still no guarantee the fine is actually paid, of course, but if they do avoid it, it'll be with the complicity of the city.
How can people be so sure there is no fraud when they are not asking for an ID?

Niche yes, but also quite an advancement at the time. You can have many more lighthouses and relays if you don't need to supply diesel every few weeks and have an engineer repair engines.
Well it's not of course, and you're right in a way. It's also not good for a whole host of low margin / capital heavy businesses to tank.

Transportation is really #2 after coal. Transportation is responsible for the majority of emissions in the US, and although an EV running on coal is basically just breaking even for GHG emissions, an EV running on natural gas is a signficant net-win for GHG emissions.

In the US using the average electricity mix, an EV like the Model 3 emits a factor of 2.5x less GHG than an equivalent diesel vehicle. Because 40% of electricity is from clean sources (nuclear, wind, hydro, solar, geothermal), and coal is just 27% now.

Anecdotally... I bought an LG Ultrafine 5K when they came out - I believe I've got one of the initially faulty ones that can't go too close to a WiFi access point due to lack of shielding.

It was flaky as hell when it first came out but over the course of about a month of receiving it, the problems largely seemed to stop occurring.

I typically unplug and plug it in once per day when I take my Macbook Pro away to sit somewhere else in the evening. But when I'm working during the day I use it as my primary display. For my own experience the integration of brightness and volume is seamless. The speakers are good (although I use some old Genelec monitors instead for this), and the quality of the display is absolutely fantastic as you said.

About one in fifty times plugging it in to the laptop doesn't immediately work, and then I plug it into a different USB-C port on the laptop, and then it does.

Despite this I'm very happy with it.

I don't understand the high frequency use case they describe. High frequency trading is something very different from "12,000 transactions a minute". What is exactly the use case? Pre-deal checks? Post-deal checks? Book replay? Or is it just a simulation? It's not very clear.

Indeed, after all what would be the point of going through the trouble of acquiring a company if major changes weren't coming ? If you don't need something special, there is a myriad of other option from simple client account to investment or the various partnership level, including shared owned subsidiary for R&D/other.
It's voluntary today, when it's a rarity. If they become wide-spread companies and governments will inevitably start tying services to chips, which will drive adoption even more, and eventually you will not be able to get those services in any other way.

This story unfolds over, and over, and over again, and it seems people never learn. SSNs went through this exact process. Credit cards became a required piece of information for transactions not involving credit. There are places in the wold now where simply not carrying an ID is effectively illegal. You are not allowed to not have an email anymore.

You either can wait for this to happen and then hope certain misuse get eventually outlawed, or simply push back from the very beginning so that adoption does not reach a critical mass.

And no, I am not going to respond to inevitable apologists who will reply to this post. Not because I have no arguments, but because I have no time to argue with yet another person smugly telling me that I'm "free" to avoid civilization if I don't like creepy, covertly totalitarian stuff.
Depends, when the corporation is a multinational, then they can evade local taxes by various tricks and send all the profits outside the country. Thus it is necessary to close this loophole, to keep the tax money in the source country.
It persists because it's the only remotely affordable housing positive legislation that appeals to both renters _and_ homeowners.

New market-rate development that would keep pace with demand is consintently zoned and voted out by the electorate. It's an issue in every city in CA for sure.
Thank you. The main way people are looking at this article is from the housing cost side and less from the wages side.

If your community prices out certain essential services then those providing the service will leave, raising the price of that service, thereby ensuring that those that stay (or come back after the price changes) can make a living, can have a wage that allows them to pay for housing in the city.

Rent control distorts this type of adjustment, indirectly providing a subsidy that benefits those that could afford to pay market rate for a service by allowing those that provide the service to live below market rate and thus charge less.

Sorry, the project is actually about taxing "revenue", i fixed it, thanks.

Taxing on revenue means a corporation that actually loose money because its expenses (salaries, investmenst, etc) are larger than its sales would still have to pay taxes, making it loose even more money. It doesn't make any kind of sense unless you're targeting a very particular set of companies that you know are making money. In which case you're taxing those companies, but you're also creating a law that makes it almost impossible for new companies to start competing.

Hey, just to chime in. I'm a MSFTie, so no relevence to G, but have worked on products with similar limitations, and was usually the one arguing _against_ the CC friction at login.

What has become abundantly clear however is that CC gating is a fast way to reduce your malicious traffic _exponentially_; and especially if you're enterprise focused, this doesn't even impact your core strata much.

As a non-corporate-techie in my off-work-time, I absolutely understand the frustration at this inflexibility. During my day job where I'd have to clean up the fires that result from a fully open door policy however? I'd have a somewhat different take.

It's not 100% clear cut "the CC is all just to add spurious friction", is all I mean to say :)
