Having just completed a dissertation in LaTex, with figures online in Overleaf and Dropbox (some of them screenshots), scripts and data spread across two computers and an external hard drive, desperate last minute plot text changes right in the pdf, I just have to ask: WHY DIDN"T YOU POST ALL THIS SOONER?

Unconstrained property ownership has consequences. As a society you have to understand and decide how much you want to regulate how markets and limited resources can benefit some and harm others.

There is clear social harm to have cities filled with empty homes while there are people who want homes and can't afford to buy any on the market or are forced to commute long distances.

Using real estate to store money and other speculation does harm to people who want to participate in the market to actually use the limited fundamentally necessary resource.

It makes good sense for property owners who actively use their property themselves to have more rights than those who seek to profit from market conditions or others' use.

Having paid taxes is a weak justification for any freedom.
That's a very weak approach. Or at least, it's very subjective.
Actually, assuming this article is correct, the 737 MAX will possibly be safer than other planes because Boeing's leash with the FAA is about to get a lot shorter.

Ignoring all other issues pointed out in TFA, two really stand out: The use of a single AoA sensor for a "Hazardous" component seems flat out wrong to me. The ability of MCAS to cause maximum deflection of the trim, rather than some limit (2.5 vs 0.6 is a quibble compared to 2.5 vs unlimited) also seems bad.

Is that a trick question? The negative externality is leaving a usable property vacant when public policy encourages use. You're maintaining this situation:

https://squattinglondon.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/ominous-...

and it seems obvious to me why that's bad and public policy should not promote it.

As a public policy, along the lines of taxing vacant properties, we could also simply permit any vacant or unused property to be lived in and used by anyone who came along.

I keep hearing about this growing white supremacist threat, and while in some dark corners of the internet there do seem to be some examples of it, I can't say that I have any reason to think it's growing. What I've seen growing is the willingness of supposedly anti-racist groups to label as white supremacist anyone who disagrees with them on any issue, which is not helpful.

I tried using that phone, but I found Kai OS to be pretty awful from a usability perspective. Maps was completely unusable - which was a large reason why I bought the phone in the first place. On top of that, the texting app is extremely laggy to the point where you'd wait a second for a word to show up. I don't know if the problem is with Kai OS or with the apps themselves, but my Samsung A-157 blows that phone out of the water from a texting usability perspective (but does not have GPS)

While Airbnb is not the sole reason, it definitely is one of the factors if not a major factor for the steep rents here in Toronto.

Just to give you an example, when i moved in my current condo back in 2017 my rent was $1700/month. 2 years in and my landlord wants to suddenly "move back in" and now the rental price for similar units are around $2200/month. I find it hilarious top brass of Y Combinator talk about things like UBI and rest and meanwhile Airbnb actively tries to screw over the locals when it comes to renting a place and won't even assist local government in enforcing the rules.
> Unless it is AGW

That's the catch is that even things that have overwhelming scientific consensus are not "settled science".

There's always more data to collect and more theories to test.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't believe the data or act on the conclusions, far from it. I just don't agree with using the absolute term "settled science". It's not like there's an equation everyone agrees on or a reproducible experiment we can run.

We're still learning as we go and revising projections frequently. But there's no shame in making personal or political decisions based on our best scientific understanding of the day, we do it all the time and it would be just as big of a mistake to act like we know nothing about climate change as acting like we already know everything.

Well I would counter argue that if previous lower fines failed to influence anyone then a larger fine is not really excessive. I think the problem is that everyone always thinks it will be the other guy first and that why should they act before anyone else.

The city of Vancouver has the Empty Homes Tax.

Quote from [0]:

Each year, one owner of residential property in Vancouver is required to submit a property status declaration to determine if their property is subject to the tax.

Properties deemed empty will be subject to a tax of 1% of the property’s 2018 assessed taxable value.

Most homes will not be subject to the tax, as it does not apply to principal residences or homes rented for at least six months of the year; however, all homeowners are required to submit a declaration.

Net revenues from the Empty Homes Tax will be reinvested into affordable housing initiatives.

They sure do but that's why businesses that hide their pricing behind "Contact sales for a quote" are always the last option to get considered; it's like a giant sign saying "We're going to gouge you as much as we can get away with!".

And, of course, if the customer finds out that other customers are getting better pricing, expect them to raise hell until they get the same price or better.
I would say do not look to conference videos for how to write production quality code... Most talks at conferences are shallow and at worst just the blind leading the blind.

Be very careful, I've even seen people from places like Microsoft showing code at conferences that would fail even a decent code review process.

I think for this reason conferences are a complete waste of time. Talks are too short to go into anything approaching useful detail, and s spend an hour talking about pointless demo quality code.. Or the talkers arent experts in what they are talking about. Waste of time.

I would say the same for the majority of blogs. Most are garbage and it can be difficult to tell the code is garbage if you're a beginner. I dont know a single development blog worth reading...
I agree with you that upgrading usually means worse battery life, but iOS 12 was an exception to this I believe.
Are you currently selling your unused possessions on Craigslist? That camping gear or extra set of kitchenware? By not selling your things, you are making those things more expensive for everyone else. Therefore, you are creating a negative externality by not selling your things, and storing unused property in your garage and basement should be illegal.

What you are describing is not an “externality” in the way that economists use that term.
No, that's the AGPLv3.
Nothing will happen in that case other than you maybe having to adjust the price.

> When IPv6 was developed in the mid-90s, the Internet was not accessed by a large number of mobile devices and privacy was not the priority it has become today. To address these privacy concerns, the SLAAC protocol was updated with mechanisms that were termed “Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6”, codified in RFC 4941. This allows for the IPv6 address interface identifier to be generated randomly. If the same interface identifier is generated for two devices in the same local area network, the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) function of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) will resolve the situation.

Prior to those times tracking protection wasn't critical in protocol design (or most people's minds in general) and so using the MAC was a great way to self select an address without extra steps.
I had a 6" and didn't particularly like it, mostly because it didn't fit nicely in my pocket. I now have a 5" and I like it much more. There's no way I'm going to 7".
DC has a punitive property tax rate for vacant (and even more so for “blighted”) properties. Seems like it works ok, though there are loopholes and questions about how well it’s implemented. Also means that a developer who actually wants to clean up a blighted property and flip it now has to go through extra steps, since they surely don’t want to pay steep taxes in the meantime.
Thanks for that! "Idiomatic" is such a better word for describing what you actually want. "Best practices" implies that we know for sure that the practice will result in a better outcome. This is almost never true because programming is a very situational activity requiring a lot of judgement calls. If you turn off your brain and apply "best practices", the result is almost always horrific.

However, "idomatic" means writing in a way that other people are likely to be able to understand. That's a great goal! Often it's worth it to write code that isn't quite as good for the situation if it is more idiomatic. It's a judgement call still, but it's still important to know what is and isn't idiomatic so that you can make that judgement call.

Of course, the "can this be shown in Germany" flag isn't just on Nazi tweets; it's on anything which looks like it might be a Nazi tweet to a really dumb algorithm. Including anti-Nazi tweets, which as it turns out often reference Nazi imagery and terminology too. Seems it really isn't worth the effort or the risk to try and tease apart the two, given the legal danger of getting it wrong. Be careful what you wish for...
Especially in constrained areas like Barcelona (or urban areas in the U.S.), property ownership is a monopoly, so it has market repercussions. Buying up units and then refusing to rent them out (or have anyone occupy them) can be viewed as interfering with the local market. These are micro markets that are price sensitive to interference.

If you are a landlord, you need to rent the place out at the current market price. If you do not want to do that, you can sell the property and get out of the landlord business. Just squatting on it and leaving it empty/boarded up distorts the local property market and should be heavily taxed to discourage absentee landlords from interfering with local markets.
The rules aren't ridiculous. Website developers are just lazy/dumb and generally include shit like GA by default without even thinking of the privacy implications.

Science fiction seems to resonate strongest when it introduces new ideas which are reachable. Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash seems to be particularly influencial. Sticking some plot line in the future isn’t enough.

I miss those moments I had when I was younger, reading Neuromancer, Snow Crash, and the Diamond Age for the very first time. Certainly they all played a driving role in orienting me toward what I ended up spending my life doing. The stories and the characters mattered, but the technology drowned it out.
2 things for me:

1) 2-way bindings. i used to hate the concept of it as it was a form of black magic and had hard to debug performance issues ala Angular. but in Vue, it is actually fast and straightforward, it's essentially a light boilerplate around getter/setter methods. it took me a while to convert to this way of thinking but once i did, i never looked back.

2) @click, @submit, @emit, :some_property. at first glance, those unconventional symbols/etc irked me and was turned off by it. but after 5 min reading their doc, it became really intuitive and extremely handy. its unlike Angular who have way too many things going on, with Vue its minimal.
I know this is probably crazy, but would it be legal to add nicotine to a, say, a soft drink? How much would need to be added before it became addicting?

No one discovering something new about gravity tomorrow is going to make general relativity or even Newtonian dynamics less applicable today in their domains.

Similarly all climate science today does in fact have to explain how global cooling observations in the 1970s were found.

No one denying AGW though has ever shown any interest in explaining the data.
I agree with almost all of that -- but it's not okay to waste people's time with lots of required classes. Compulsory schooling has some benefit, mostly in the basic three R's, outweighed by the costs the further you get from that core. (Among the costs are making a lot of people reflexively hate/disdain subjects they might've liked by coming to them more naturally in their own time. In this case I didn't hate Spanish, it wasn't worse than average for school, but that's saying little.)

It would be good to know what bus the Ethernet talks on; with the Pi it's shared over the USB bus and it hampers the performance considerably.

Exploiting people’s well know psychological weaknesses and then calling it a failure of personal responsibility is exactly how ad execs managed to sleep at night after getting kids hooked on a substance that shattered millions of lives and cost the US alone hundreds of billions of dollars in healthcare costs and lost productivity.
Hmm, you list those three problems, and they're true, but even given them the interface seems like it's more different than it needs to be. The symbols could just be all prefixed. File descriptors could be indicated with an annotation or simple function call. Memory synchronization could be managed by requiring the user to use a special allocator for anything that's going to be passed to the sandbox, and putting that memory onto an exchange heap ala Singularity. Is there a reason you didn't use these techniques?
It is. I work in c# and if we take idiomatic to be how most devs write c#, then idiomatic c# is garbage.
I'm the main author of eRPC, and I wanted to clarify some things.

Your comment suggests (please correct me if you meant differently) that (a) eRPC does not perform congestion control, and (b) eRPC requires a lossless fabric. In fact, eRPC implements congestion control, and it works well in a lossy network. Those are the two main contributions of the paper.

We get 75 Gbps with only UDP/Ethernet packet I/O, without RDMA support.

eRPC implements transport-layer functionality atop a fast packet I/O engine like DPDK, so comparing eRPC to DPDK isn't apples-to-apples.

The aim of laws is compliance. If the low and medium fines of previous years have failed to achieve compliance, and fines eventually escalate to high, I'd argue it's far from excessive. If it were excessive a much lower amount would have achieved general compliance with that particular law, would it not?

Normally people talk about externalities of activity, as opposed to externalities of inactivity. I suppose this is just two sides of the same coin. People living in a place does have positive knock on effects. However it feels a little different to me to say, “because you didn’t use your property a certain way, therefore there wasn’t this good secondary effect, therefore you have created a negative externality.” No, I just have declined to create a positive one. If I use my property in a way that is good but not creating the maximum amount of positive externalities, have I still created a negative externality? I don’t think so.

Terminological issues aside, tax is not about fairness. At least not for any one person’s particular definition of fairness, and certainly not mine. Tax, in this case, is about a behavior we want changed, and a means readily to hand by which to change it. Doesn’t really matter if it’s fair.

I can absolutely imagine why existing tech companies would be interested if the protocol became so popular that they'd be stupid to ignore it and start from scratch with their own protocol, like XMPP was at one point.
