Realtors have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the interest of their principal, even when it is against the interest of the agent.

"This duty obligates a real estate broker to act at all times solely in the best interests of his principal to the exclusion of
all other interests, including the broker’s own self-interest." https://www.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/handouts-and-bro...
> Buyer's agents deserve their 3% perhaps even more than listing agents and it's unfortunate you screwed this agent out of that.

3% of the value of a house is hardly 'a tip', a common fee in Europe for selling a house is around 1.5 to 2%, a typical buyer will not use a realtor at all. Oh, and it is illegal here for a realtor to charge both the buyer and the seller because there is a clear conflict of interest there, you can only work for one party. The real estate market in North America is ridiculous.

Even this question is problematic because of the nocebo effect.

I love the page anchoring there is nothing more annoying, imo, then page jumping. More so on mobile but still am glad to see this addressed. I always felt like it was intentional on mobile, timed perfectly to when the average user would be expected to click the certain location then bam an ad pops up in it's place. Good riddance.
How the homeless survive in beach parking lots
Of course there are activists who disrupt city council meetings to increase Bay Area density.

I find this utterly fascinating. This runs 180 degrees counter to the usual narrative, that the activists are out to block increased density. Is there documentation?

But the schools now have to absorb 120 households worth of children instead of 80 households worth. There are 240 cars on the road where normal density would have put 160.

These are problems cities have always dealt with.

Meanwhile urban high density towns where productivity and income is high are vilified as NIMBYs

Huh? This also runs 180 degrees counter to the usual narrative. NIMBYs are seen as against higher density.

Only in California will one be disowned and shamed for desiring a higher quality of life and for upward mobility.

The usual narrative is that NIMBYs are for "higher for me, but not for thee."

It is filled with people hungry for upward mobility coming from countries where the promise of a better life is in America. These are not folks who take a gap year to travel around Europe or grandma leaves a trust fund. To claim that we MUST be altruistic is itself a sign of privilege.

No one I know is for NIMBYs being altruistic. Everyone wants NIMBYs to stop distorting the natural housing market. To stop being the opposite of altruistic.

But now if we make California unCalifornia, we will be taking away the very identity that makes California what it is..it’s not just creation. It’s also creative destruction.

The usual narrative is that NIMBYs are against creative destruction. NIMBYs are the ones saying "no." You're saying you're a NIMBY for creative destruction -- which takes the form of saying "no?"

Henry Ford did not bring American workers a 5-day work week. Unions had been working for the 8-hour day for more than 60 years before Ford tried an 8-hour, 6-day work week to attract workers who were already demanding an 8-hour workday.
So, I guess the question is:

What about Open Source makes you believe this is the bad outcome?

The cloud companies make their money providing the physical infrastructure, their expertise in working with the product, support, etc. when hosting it for you. You're not paying them to have access to ElasticSearch - you've already got ElasticSearch.

Why should an end-user have to purchase ElasticSearch hosting from Elastic? Why shouldn't they have the option of getting their hosting from someone that they already get other hosted services from?

If there had been a similar attitude behind the development of open source webservers, the web as we know it would almost certainly not exist today. If httpd had been licensed in such a way that you couldn't make money off of providing it as a hosted service, and no open source alternative had come into existence, I doubt we'd all be sitting on HN right now. It never got concentrated like it has today with the big three, but nothing in the license prevented it from occurring.

That's not the product, and you're not the customer.

If you ever have to go to the Patreon website after having become a patron to your desired creator, you're doing something wrong or they are. There is no reason in the world you should be leaning on patreon to serve content.

You're the patron, your creator is your content maker who should be using other means to communicate the content to you (youtube? other web hosting? soundcloud? There are many ways, I use all of those) and your pledge is the product: the creator is the customer, not you.

I truly don't care how silly the website is when they pay me my revenue like clockwork without issue. Patreon is not a web hosting service. Patreon collects subscriptions from patrons and manages that stuff, as well as anything else I've used.

Even more. There is a budget for buying things even when there is a perfectly good free version that does everything the business needs. One just needs to add "support", or "customization" into the features. Those are not free for the seller, but business will gladly overpay.
There are some startups trying to fix these issues and price at flat fees to mixed effect (Trelora in Denver comes to mind as an example).

I think the true solution will come not by lawsuit but by mass scale market-making by companies like OpenDoor and Zillow. When you want to sell your home you can go to these companies and get a check within a few days, and when you want to buy a home these will have built software and systems to make purchasing a straightforward processes.

They may not serve unique and luxury real estate in the near future, but for the 'typical' suburban home it seems like consumers could see a benefit.

> the propaganda in the training materials is outright laughable

You say that, as you spout anti-union propaganda that would bring a tear to the eye of the walmart CEO.
I don't understand this hyperbolic sarcasm. Minimum wage exists, labor laws exist. Not paying mandatory union dues wouldn't result in your wages being reduced that low, or being forced to work that many hours a week. This doesn't make any sense or support the point you're presumably trying to make whatsoever.
Wouldn't every ESOP corporation meet this standard? 100% of all profits that aren't reinvested into the company are returned to the employee in the form of shares although they are only able to access the full value of those shares upon retirement.

I think you're missing the point. It's not collusion, it's simple socialization. But it's inherent in the station of being a property owner to want to extract as much out of one's property as possible, and through this simple socializing, ideas about what most effectively achieves that aim can spread through the networks of interested parties while largely remaining inside of them.
I was hoping to find someone else who mentioned this.

This catches me out regularly. I would not be surprised if a team at Google implemented this and immediately saw “increased engagement” from users in an AB test, so they locked it in permanently and considered it case closed, the science is in.

> with an open source license it’s harder to force someone to pay for a product

Most OSS business models don't try to sell the actual OSS. Usually a separate, commercial product is built on top of the actual OSS.

> You can’t make a living making music. Or art. You can’t even make a living taking care of children.

For everyone else smashing their keyboards, I think his point is: It's hard to make good money as an average artist, whereas it's easy to make good money as an average software engineer.

> This is where the Free Software mission has faltered despite so many successes: software that people actually touch isn’t free or open.

The point is that those commercial applications almost always depend on FOSS. If you have a better idea, go and build a better commercial product. You'll probably depend on similar FOSS.

After running into this a while ago when I was rebuilding my system and getting annoyed by all the different things that try to modify it, I ended up giving up and just setting the file to immutable.

I understand the stated purpose. Why should an individual benefit from the abilities of others just because he/she happens to belong to the same community? I think if we can ask the question in its most basic form, which is what I am trying to do, it may be clarifying.

They'll provide liquidity and take a cut, but with a couple of companies in the market the 'spread' will probably be lower than buyer+seller broker fees.

I'm not sure about that. Regression to the mean and confirmation bias explain some of the placebo effect, but how do you explain pharmacological conditioning?

There have also been numerous studies that control for biases like regression to the mean by adding an additional control group that get neither the drug nor the 'sugar pill'.. and show that the placebo effect is still strongly present.
First thanks for doing this.I was actually looking for a good and efficient way to give back to OSS.

30 % seems more inline with apps store etc... which are closed, for profit entities. Other crowd founding venue charge around 5 % which is the level i would personally feel comfortable with.

The way the donation are distributed is interesting and seem to be geared toward people wanted to give back to communities on which they are actually contributing (time spent on the documentation pages). Personally i am looking for a way to give to project i use the most, (firefox, vim , zsh etc...) and also project that i use and particularly need funding.

Any plans for the entreprise market ?
Not sure about your area, but the grocery store strike circa 2003 in California is the only reason that the employees received health benefits from stores that were trying to compete with Walmart
I didn’t say base it on profit for a house. I said base it on a price the seller wants. Like consignment.
I wonder why they didn't use generic exception type in their java.util.function classes. That would propagate checked exceptions statically.

Well you seem to have a good handle on some of the pain points with unions in the US. Hopefully the folks taking this up at Kickstarter will find a way to make up for the overall shortcomings of collective labor in this country and build a system that takes the long view.

Well, you chose to install it, you can configure it not to do this. For the vast majority of people, myself included, NetworkManager should have control of DNS resolvers (at least, when I have WiFi on a system. I usually don't use NetworkManager on Ethernet-only systems, since there's systemd-networkd).
Facebook's legal team is not in charge of their ethics, the CEO is, and the CEO determines what gets posted. The legal team serves at the pleasure of the CEO and they're free to hire a lawyer that would come up with language more in line of what the CEO desires. So you can take it to the bank that just like the legal team vetted the text the CEO in turn vetted the legal team and they are operating under some kind of mandate.

You completely disagree with much of the academic output of the past 75 years of modern geography. (Urban geography is as much economics and social science as 19th century geographic mapping.) Perhaps you should take your views into the field and revolutionize it?

You (or others) may or may not know it is already possible in CSS as it is. To force 16:9:

.DamnInteresting {
position: relative;
display: block;
}

.DamnInteresting::before {
content: '';
display: block;
/* 16:9 shim! */
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
}

.DamnInteresting img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

Ugly, but it's easy to make a mixin (or similar) if you're using a preprocessor!

(The ::before element isn't stricly necessary; the padding can go on the .DamnInteresting element directly - just make sure .DamnInteresting is wrapped in a containing element of your desired width and you can even use inline styles for the padding shim.)

Honest question: what's the difference between this and, say, 9/11 videos? Is it the shooter's intent? If so, I want to point out that 9/11 was orchestrated so that it would be covered by major news networks.

And 9/11 was the murder of 3000 people. Are you in favor of censoring videos of 9/11?

Most books, and apparently this one, skip the nasty stuff: when and how to remove a hand, arm, or leg or how to treat (and I mean "remove bullets, sew up and heal") gunshot wounds, etc. They almost always say "get to a hospital" or "get to a doctor". It's as if all medical books available to the public are written by lawyers concerned about liability.

I'd like a book that tells it straight - what you need to do when you're out of reach of civilization or not close enough or you can't trust civilization (e.g., you're in a war zone).

I don't believe that I couldn't remove someone's arm if necessary. After all, one man removed his own arm once. But I'd feel more comfortable with some instructions and some warnings on the way. As it is, were something like that necessary I'm thrown back on my own judgement.

Sure, odds are slim, but I like to have info available.
Wow, I wasn't aware of the chattr command at all. Here is a list of available: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chattr

Apparently, they are very file system specific. That's why they are not widely used. I guess a chmod 0444 would not do it, as system tools tend to "fix" wrong permissions automatically (but not permissive attributes).
You still need a broker to work under, you then need to pay desk fees, real estate board membership fee, MLS fee, and then actually advertise.
I understand why Java has to keep on chugging along, but I feel bad for the people that have to be a part of it. It's like watching people keep coal trains going while people are moving to cars.

Why? Besides being owned by Oracle, which is enough of a reason to never use Java ever again, it's also lost the niches that brought it into existence. Java no longer runs everywhere. Java on the web is dead, and you can now write ubiquitous apps in basically every language. There's no reason to deal with the JVM and it's domain knowledge when you can write a nimble Go app for your backend and a Javascript app that will run on mobile, web, or desktop. A VM language? You mean v8 sandboxing and web workers; WASM which lets me write C, C++, and Rust all of which can talk to Javascript APIs. All of my services are stateless and ephemeral. Crashing is expected, and I can use host monitoring tools instead of introspecting the JDK. On the cloud it gets even worse for Java. Why use a meaty framework like Spring when I want to just spin up a bunch of micro services, or have an API gateway kickoff a bunch of lambda jobs.

Java also took OO in so many terrible directions. OO defined by it's creator looks nothing like the enterprise OO that big business sold to commoditize programming, which now only exists as a ball and chain on legacy systems.

One day Java will be like Cobol. There's probably a lot of money for Java developers for many more decades, but god I do not envy anyone that has to do it.
NetworkManager is convenient, especially for bringing up the kinds of bridged connections, virtual NATs, etc. that ordinary power users often want but don't believe they can achieve. And of course, you have every option not to use it, or to improve it, or to propose your own replacement.

This has been a mixed success as a privacy complaint and I hope the regulator (ICO) steps in to make sure similar organisations remove ad tracking where there are vulnerable users.

Your understanding of this subject disagrees with history. Henry Ford did not create a 5-day work week. Unions had already been fighting for an 8-hour workday for 60 years in the US alone. Ford adopted this and a 6-day week to attract workers. One could almost be forgiven for concluding that Ford was won over by 60 years of arguments and political activity by unions that preceded him, and gave their ideas a try.
