Like most selective political actions in a market, I suspect this has good intent but will produce predictably counter-productive outcomes. The intent is obviously to "make housing more affordable", but they're only restricting one part of the market, and that part is "newly built" homes. What about the real estate market that is simply "homes"? So if newly built houses cannot be rented out anymore, and a large driver of building homes is this customer base of "landlords", what will happen to the rate of building, and the price of older homes?

It doesn't seem like a stretch to assume that the building rate will go down, and prices on older estates not affected by the law will go up. Unless the law is applied broadly across any and all estates, the end result will simply be, best case, that the market adjusts: worst case, that you end up with very unwanted and negative economical effects that no-one predicted.

The article states that "It’s not yet been clarified, for example, how long an owner would have to occupy their home before being able to rent it out" -- in my opinion the problem here is not where you draw the line, the problem is the drawing of the line. It will only create synthetic movements in the market and I don't think it will help in achieving the stated goal at all.

If one were inclined to be cynical, one could even assume that like with most political proposals, there are those who stand to gain from this, and they may be sponsoring it. Namely: whoever owns "old" real estate in Amsterdam. Is it also cynical to believe that politicians may know that this will not help, but are more interested in looking like they are "doing something about it", rather than resolving the issue, causing economical loss for property owners? The stated beneficiaries of this proposal are those weak in buying power claiming the "right" to live in a certain place without being priced out -- normally not a group with huge political leverage.

I think you may be surprised by the outcome. The real question is, do the Tory party want to commit political suicide by administering a no deal brexit, and risk never getting re-elected until the subsequent turmoil subsides? I think not.

Farage and the rest are no where to be seen (he still collects his salary from the EU apparently though!).

The upshot of all this mess will probably be as unlikely as the referendum result itself. Personally, I'm expecting the unexpected, and can see a total revocation of article 50, resulting most probably from a people's vote (anything else would be undemocratic). I mean, what other realistic option is there that isn't utterly pie-in-the-sky stupid?!
> The only deal possible is something like Norway and Switzerland have

And yet, that's not what she was negotiating. You're correct in the sense that there was never a perfect Brexit to be had but we're about a week away from the worst possible outcome. Those were never the only two options.

And a lot of the problems are of her own making. The execution of the 2017 GE was one of the worst in living memory. That was entirely her doing. She then fought against parliamentary scrutiny and lost. She then threw away most of her negotiating position.

At that point, any sensible person would realise that they're not going to get everything their own way and start preparing for getting consensus. But no, they negotiated a deal without any discussion outside of the Government (even key members of her own party) and are then surprised when it doesn't pass.

I take that back. The deal didn't just not pass. It was the worst ever Government loss in the history of one of the oldest parliaments in the world. So time to reset, take stock and change tack? No, let's keep barrelling on. Why? No idea. I mean, the fixed date, red lines etc are there to keep the harder Brexiters on side i.e. the folk that aren't even voting for the deal.

The whole strategy only made rationale sense if she had a landslide in 2017. When that didn't occur, the only sensible approach was to spend 2 years achieving a cross party consensus for something.

And just to be clear, I'm not only a natural Tory, I was delighted when she was chosen as PM as she appeared to be the sort of pragmatic technocrat that I believed the country needed at this time. Unfortunately, I now believe she is the worst PM we have had in my lifetime. And about to cause preventable harm to the country I call home. It is most saddening.

I have no comment on if this is good or bad, I am just curious how laws like this get passed in the first place. You would assume that most home owners would not be in favor of something like this, as it obviously would seek to decrease the value of their property by reducing the potential acquirers. The only thing that would make sense is if in Amsterdam, most voters rent vs own.
I believe that writing legislation for assault rifles is trickier than for semi-autos, because the latter is a more properly defined type.

I sit with an FP expert (he might deny it, but he is). What I find, is that he takes a lot longer to get to the solution that I hack out in a day in Python3 (with his assistance most of the time) but his solution has three interesting properties.

1) its usually founded on a very good understanding of the problem, and the abstractions inherent in the problem. If he can re-use the abstractions he has used before he does, to great effect in speed-to-solution

2) it is very usually correct. it is remarkably bug free because the Haskell typing removes a huge amount of ambiguity about the problem going in

3) he has absolutely no problem explaining what it does 3 months or more later.

I value these behaviours immensely. My own Python is usually buggy, often re-produces techniques I did a week ago, badly, and I can't explain why I used that lambda/map function.

I currently own a house. I love owning my house.

But there have been long (decade+) stretches when I actively did not want to own. I was single, or I knew my family size would change and didn't want to buy a huge house, or I knew I would only be in the market for a few years.

The transaction costs of buying and selling each time would have been probably 5-10% of the total price of the house (broker fee, mortgage fees, inspections, etc). It simply would not have made sense to buy and sell a house every time I moved.

Having plenty of rentals available made it easy to move to where I needed to be, in a house size that made sense (neither too big nor small), in a cost-effective way.

The answer of "don't move so much" cuts income mobility. I moved to the SF Bay Area because it offered higher salaries. And it wouldn't solve the issue of family size changing.

(I haven't yet done the reverse -- which is to rent out the house I now own, but if I get a job offer somewhere else it'd be silly to force a sale to make it impossible for me to come back.)

This isn't true at all. China is one of the only places in the developed world where the populace legitimately could topple the government, simply by sheer mass.

> abstracted representation

Yes, the EU representation is quite distant. The UK has an unelected upper house.

> Foreign authoritative bureaucracies?

This isn't great, but at least the EU one is elected. The alternative in all the other trade deals is unelected. Hence all the opposition to things like TTIP, and earlier complaints about GATT etc.

Fundamentally, voting against the EU doesn't make it go away. Some sort of framework always needs to exist to make agreements with other European countries. If the EU didn't exist, it would probably be necessary to invent it.

Hence the Norway/Switzerland situation: not in the EU, has to follow EU rules without having a vote on them.

> legitimate concerns

Here's the thing: hardly anyone talks about those anymore. Brexit has been absolutely dominated by antipathy towards immigrants, both EU and non-EU (despite this not being anything to do with the EU). There's no way to "unwind" EU immigration without ripping families apart.

(I was a Euroskeptic about the treatment of Greece, for example. But ultimately Greece realised that however bad a situation it was in, crashing out would be worse. The same applies to the UK, with "Tory Syriza" running it)

I took notes using emacs and LaTeX in similar fashion. But I started by doing all of my assignments with it until I became proficient enough. I can type much faster than I write. I didn’t use any Elisp to help — though I probably should have in retrospect. I did have some common LaTeX macros/commands. It was nice to have the notes to study from in the end.

This helped most in doing assignments and is what I’d recommend to others. I would write by pencil and paper then type as LaTeX. This forced me to review my solutions and fix mistakes or improve them.

I didn’t attempt to get too fancy with plots in real-time (I kept a notebook for those courses) but I did do graph theory and commutative diagrams (category theory) with tikz.

> faceless society.

I'm sorry, but while I agree with you that it's a violation of property rights, and that concerns me, it isn't in hope of a good faceless society.

I live in Spain, and the mediterranean coast is completely flooded with investors and foreigners buying property they don't live in, nor they rent for locals. Most of this places are now faceless, souless, tourist traps.

My sister inherited a flat in Ibiza, just in the city center, and I wouldn't go to live there no matter what. Nice for a week visit before foreigners flood in, though.

Same happend with Barcelona. Locals are being pushed out of the center and there has been years since it doesn't give the same feel as it used to, not to mention that everything feels designed as franchised for foreigners, expensive and increasingly soulless. They retain the architecture so that saves the look & feel of Barcelona, but it isn't anything similar of what used to be.

Same with the andalusian coast. More and more towns get investor's money for building resorts and all kind of crap.

I'm seeing this getting a little traction in my city, and I'm pretty worried. If that flood of money comes here to hit the property market, I won't be able to match the demand and I'll lose my lifestyle, and be forced to move somewhere else, at least to the outskirts of the city. So if my city council comes with a mechanism to prevent that, I'm gonna be on board, you can be sure of that.
The key problem is the rich buying property for literal rent-seeking to become even richer.

This drives prices up for homes in the city to a point that only if you are in a relationship and over 30 you might be able to buy your first 'home'.

There may be downsides to the measures proposed, but the fun part of government is that you can learn, change and adapt. Because you write the rules, you can change and you can use this ability to create a better living environment for people, which is the ultimate end goal.

My ICT people made me install sophos on OSX. Even when disabled, the hooks it had into the VM and VFS layers intruided into my life and made other applications I depend on hang. Once I de-installed it, this behaviour stopped.

The moral of the story is that an after-market security solution not designed by the core architects is very likely to be buggy. They don't understand things. They make bad assumptions.

Windows Defender was designed by people who know windows. It works well on Windows because it respects the core architecture. If this defender is written in native OSX code, and obeys all the documented and un-documented OSX things, and if Apple staff commit to forwarding bug reports to Microsoft, it might work, one day, five or more years in the future.

Until then, I suspect like Sophos, its going to crash my Mac.

People generally care that the property provides income, not that it’s in good condition. Higher rents can cause a depression in renovations, because the higher rent increases the opportunity cost of doing renovations. This is quite visible in some cities.

Kind of depressing that the book only has one reader review and ranks 1.6 million on the U.S. Amazon store, which means it's barely selling (I'm a publisher; that number translates to just a few copies per month at most). That's despite a boatload of editorial reviews like the featured article.

It could be because the retail hardcover and Kindle prices are over $30 (!) but I am also wondering if the market for biographies is completely saturated, especially by big books by marquee authors. I've recently read the Da Vinci and Einstein bios by Walter Isaacson, both of which took ages to get through. There's just not much time to read other stuff, like the Carreyou bio of Theranos I've been eyeing at the library.

Incidentally, the Kindle edition of the Stevenson biography is currently on sale for $3.99 on the U.S. Amazon store. I bought it based on this review.

> You would assume that most home owners would not be in favor of something like this, as it obviously would seek to decrease the value of their property by reducing the potential acquirers.

It's obvious even from the headline that this "ban" only applies to newly built homes, meaning that if you own an "older" home (whatever the definition of that ends up being), this does not apply to you. So in a perverted sense, being an Amsterdam home owner may be beneficial, since the politicians are rigging the market to your advantage, if you are an "older" home owner.

As for renters of these "older" homes, I'd say the outcome is fairly predictable: your rent will skyrocket as the demand for your landlords real estate increases, unless there are already other political tools in place to cap rents.
