I don't care for the idea that HN or programmers or engineers or doctors or NASA or any particular subset is home to "the smartest problem solving minds". I've met smart and creative problem solvers in all fields.

People tend to solve problems with the tools of their field, and it's telling that your first idea was "a startup opportunity". Really? Our solution for homelessness should also make a profit? We're going to bring our neighbors out of poverty by earning a buck in the process? Where does this money come from?

First, start by "doing things that don't scale": solve homelessness for one person. Then do it for 2, 5, and 10. My impression is that, like many human problems, a real solution might never scale.

The future of housing IMHO. Equity based rental models, modeled on REITs. You earn shares in the operation as you pay rent, eventually owning your share of the house in a time period that is similar to a traditional mortgage. End the inflation of the monetary base caused by property speculation. As time progresses, and larger housing loans from Banks is required, we are being robbed of our savings.

I currently work in a restaurant with doordash. While I rarely have to take to-go orders and doordash orders, I see my Coworkers who hate taking doordash orders.

First of all, there's no tips for doordash orders. On a busy night our Togo person makes ~50 in tips, so they just don't pay as much attention to the door dash orders.

Second, no matter how long we quote the order, the driver always shows up immediately and gets in the way of the servers and bussers and other customers (its a fairly small restaurant with no waiting area) so usually we are rushing to try and finish the order to get them to leave.

I don't know a single person in the restaurant except the owner who likes the doordash system, but as long as people keep ordering it'll stay
Not so long ago I received an email that included in the header all the BCC recipients.

So just training people to use BCC isn't enough, you also need to be sure that your email system doesn't include the addresses in the header regardless.

>Quasiquotation pretty much doesn't need to exist because of the ! sequence "operator" for splicing lists into lists and forms.

Hmm... I guess I don't know everything quasiquoting is used for in Lisp, but in MDL and ZIL, segments don't really solve the problem that quasiquoting does when it comes to writing macros.

That is, I usually want to use macros to generate code according to a template:

<PRSI? ,FOO>

should become

<==? ,PRSI ,FOO>

The way to write that macro is to call FORM to build the form:

<DEFMAC PRSI? (X)
<FORM ==? ',PRSI .X>>

But if it's a complex block of code, and the blanks I want to fill in are deeply nested, the template quickly becomes unreadable, because every structure turns into a form, and every form turns into a call to FORM.
From the day I learned about his work he became my greatest influence in my career, and still is to this day. I'm grateful for all the insights and the perpetually fresh perspective, on distributed systems, on PL research, on databases and on OOP.

I'm grateful that I have someone like him to look up to in my profession: able to solve hard problems while still having fun with novel solutions, while still keeping it all simple.

We'll take at least 20 years just to catch up with him.
Lots of people who are homeless aren't living it rough on the streets, they're couch surfing or sleeping in their car. It's generally the people with some sort of mental illness who end up in the streets, because they are too unstable to be tolerated anywhere else.

I don't think there's any evidence to show that being homeless causes schizophrenia or other forms of psychosis. Depression and bitterness, sure, but likely not psychosis.
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't had those problems with gnome-settings, but I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.
What you’re describing is possible and is done currently in corporate environments by forcing devices to accept a self signed cert that allows companies to spy on their employees traffic.

Haven’t seen anything for the home market yet, and I’m not sure how you’d get a consumer IOT device to accept your cert.
You are so right! Thank you for your feedback.

> they make more money when health costs are more expensive, through higher premiums

Do you have a citation for this? If this were true, why would they aggressively negotiate lower costs and offer discount Rx cards?

In the US, higher premiums mean fewer subscribers. I'm a co-founder of an auto-insurance company, and all we ever try to do is lower premiums in order to compete.

In addition to your point about leverage and underlying asset volatility, certain assets are not regularly marked to market (real estate being a prime example) and so you don't experience the true volatility of the asset unless you attempt to sell it.

As a concrete example, a number of commercial real estate investors were technically insolvent in 2008-2009, with assets worth less than the balances of the loans used to buy them. They just pursued the 'hear no evil/see no evil/speak no evil' approach and marked to book (what they paid for the asset) until the market recovered. This approach is aided by the multi-year nature of commercial leases, which protects the cash flows needed for debt service (as long as your tenants stay in business).

In aggregate these factors allow professional real estate investors to consistently earn return by taking on a ton of leverage and with it huge but disguised risk. Back to the original point of the article (buying to rent), most retail investors don't necessarily have the float/access to debt to weather that volatility, and their cash flows are more sensitive which compounds that risk.
Gahhh. Ignore most of that stuff about language, it doesn't add much value.

Just use common sense: Be clear, be informative, don't waste people's time. You're not writing deathless prose or trying to craft the Greatest Commit Comment of All Time. The Grammar Police are not going to break down your door with their milspec copies of Strunk and White and put you up on charges.

One thing I try to do is be a little entertaining. Just little things, a twist of a phrase or something that might cause a commit to stick in someone's head for a while. I've had comments like "Best commit logs of the project," so at least people were looking forward to reading them. Which, if you are scientific and dry and oh-so-grammarly-correct, they won't be.

I've had people mention some source-code comments I'd made a decade or two earlier (e.g., in public headers). That was fun.

>As for putting people who pose no threat to the public or to themselves into closed institutions against their will, this is obviously immoral and not even worth discussing.

Why is it obviously immoral? Is it moral to allow people who cannot make decisions for themselves to live in squalor and filth?

Looking at it another way, municipal governments set living standards for housing, with requirements around sanitation, access to clean running water, heating, etc. ... unless you're a drug addict or a sufferer of mental illness, in which case go right ahead and live in a tent city surrounded by filth and vulnerable to the elements, disease and crime?? That's your moral option? Ask politely the individual if they would not like to live in squalor and if they say 'no', leave them be?

You don’t have to agree with it, but if you actually read the article its mentioned.

>But the proliferation of these buildings is provoking a backlash amid a broader debate about affordable housing, megaprojects for the ultrarich and the city’s identity. Now, officials are seeking to rein in developers by proposing rules that would apply unusually large mechanical spaces toward a building’s height limit.
> The last time I went to the dentist was 27 years ago. I was told I had three cavities that needed filling. Never got it taken care of. Nearly 30 years later

Explain the math here? You went to the dentist 27 years ago but now you are rounding up to 30 years later?

Actually a larger point. How do we know (we don't) that you were correctly diagnosed as having three cavities that needed filling? Maybe the dentist was just an opportunist and you didn't even have any cavities? Or (someone who knows dentistry better can comment) there is a state whereby it could be considered a cavity but not such that it definitely needed to be filled?
I remember his joke .. Erlang is "write once, run forever". Fascinating. The BEAM will run forever since there are also other languages compiled to it.
You should probably default the Annual Costs to something like 5%, and let people bump it back down if they need to.

Anything that draws attention to that field, as 1% doesn’t draw attention.

In my case, taxes are roughly 2.5% alone. Then while a given year maintenance doesn’t feel like 5%, over 30 years you have to peanut butter the big expenses such as roof replacement, or kitchen renovation, and those really do add up.

By and large, all fields should be a bit pessimistic, let people bias them back down, or simply add a “risk” field that can fold in pessimistic outliers into the simulations.
Do you have recording of that session?
> No. The literal definition of the economic drag on value creation is "rent seeking".

No, that's not the literal definition of "rent-seeking", not even close. I really wish this term had a different name because I see people on HN misusing it on a daily basis. "rent-seeking" is a specific term in economics that refers to entities colluding with the government to distort the market in their favor. The taxi medallion system is a classic example of rent-seeking. Owning property and leasing it out, whether it's land, vehicles, apartments, or machinery, is NOT rent-seeking.

> Be a part of the solution and build something. Do not be a part of the problem and become a landlord.

Would you prefer a world in which people are not allowed to rent apartments?
Saying that none of the "email data" is stored on your servers is a common way mail clients deflect from the real truth that people are interested in. Our email data traverses through your servers and is stored in memory is it not?

Additionally you have our access tokens correct? With those you have effective access to all of our email data. They are effectively a password. Worse actually since they bypass 2FA. If you leak those on accident or decide to use one from your home PC, you have access to all of our email data.

The statement "None of this email data is stored on DarwinMail's servers" remains technically true, but does not address the real scope security issue most users are worried about.

DarwinMail looks amazing and I'd love to use it, but until these questions above are answered or obviated via open-sourcing it, I don't think many users will be comfortable. My company admin policy explicitly denies your app for these reasons by the way:

"Error: admin_policy_enforced

Access to your account data is restricted by policies within your organization. Please contact administrator for more information."
Like the sibling commenter said, there are different venues for providing rental supply, sometimes making a public or private investment.

Again, I am not advocating either way as I am not in real state industry to have perspective on it.
The vacancy is a key factor here. It’s reasonable to upset that some are squandering a resource which you can barely get enough of to live.

Take the classic “dictator having his lunch flown in by private plane.” The issue here is not the engine noise, or even the misallocation of jet fuel/seat space. It’s the symbolic obscenity.
Building large buildings to fill with empty space and spending huge amounts of money catering to the ultrarich, while there are still massive housing problems in NYC, is definitely going to offend some people.

A society which enables the rich to produce extraneous waste - literally making multimillion dollar luxury home spaces just to fill with nothing, so that you can skirt the law for building codes, and not even allow a person to live there - yeah that's offensive.

The rich should be able to buy things they like, yes. But of course it's offensive when the country has a housing crises and the rich are building houses that nobody is allowed to live in, just so they can get a better view?

I mean yeah that's pretty obviously offensive and a strong, real reason that people are opposing these towers - it's described in the article.
My sister and I are like you. We've both taken somewhat spotty care of our teeth over the years and never really had problems. I've never had a cavity, never had gingivitis. I do get plaque, but I just scrape it off with one of those dental picks.

A long time ago, a dentist we had told our parents we had good mouth bacteria or something. I don't know how true this is and I don't put much credence in it, but interestingly enough, the only time in my life I had any kind of gum problems was when I was regularly kissing someone with constant tooth problems. It went away after we broke up and i haven't had problems since again. Again more just a little side note than anything scientific or would recommend basing decisions on.
I can't disagree with you because that's an issue of semantics. I would define "popularity" as the number of people using the language, regardless of skill level.

By that definition, I'd guess that Python is near the top due to its recent dominance in data science, but Stack Overflow isn't proving or disproving the idea either way.

Using my definition (and likely yours), JavaScript is certainly the most popular. But it's hard to discount the many huge organizations using Java and C#. Their beginners might not be using Stack Overflow as heavily because they have in-house mentorship.
Still have it or what happened to it?
While I agree that Regolith is mostly "skin deep", there are some aspects that transcend just theming, for example gnome integration. Regolith is not intended as a replacement for those happy and comfortable with building packages from source and hand tweaking configuration.

That’s the beauty of BQ - it scales well, but it works just fine in smaller use cases. It doesn’t get simpler than SQL.

Another item to consider is that BQ now has ML (simpler) models built in, further reducing the complexity of your pipeline: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bigqueryml-intro

If you are not on GCP, then I’d consider AWS Athena for querying the parquet files, but you still have to structure these efficiently beforehand.
> And we should all pretend that the internet resolves conflicts at any level?

A lot of people believe so and unfortunately some policy-makers as well. I thought the book https://www.amazon.com/Net-Delusion-Dark-Internet-Freedom/dp... made a good argument against cyber-utopianism.
Sure you can. If you were renting it out instead of living in it, all those costs would have to be paid on behalf of the tennents. It's part of the cost of doing business. So whether you rent or buy for yourself, it's all part of the investment calculation.

I think the redaction just allows them to say that it was redacted, not that anyone didn’t know who was in the list of names. Anybody paying attention to television news for the past 2 years would know who was in that list of names.

> Seems like journalistic malpractice.

It's not 'malpractice' and it's a mistake to think that what you consider journalism is anything other than a vehicle to sell advertising in the end. There seems to be this assumption that what is written (especially and actually in the NY Times (which I do read and pay for)) is pure and good and the people writing spend untold hours to get the story right and fairly balanced. My anecdote is when I was interviewed a few times in the past by the NYT the writer fed me conclusions and it was very easy to figure out what to say in order to get my name printed. (A contrary position to the point and stated vehemently was almost certainly the way to go..)

Alright, that makes a lot more sense. Also I installed it this morning and I'm a pretty big fan. I really like the idea to have a hotkey to show the main hotkey commands. It's such a little quality of life thing that I think greatly lowers the learning curve of i3.

>What is important is maintaining the institutions that have been wildly successful in mediating conflict between diverse groups...

Trust is what maintains societal institutions. Trust in the institutions. Unfortunately, trust has been eroded significantly all around the world. I suspect that this erosion was intentional, the result of highly effective propaganda campaigns being waged by different governments against each other. Ironically, these campaigns are so effective at eroding trust because of the efficiencies that our technological advances have contributed to their prosecution.

Personally, I'm not sanguine that trust will return. Couple these professional manipulation campaigns with the very real degradation of professionalism within many societal institutions and you can see the very clear challenges ahead. Without trust, you just can't get there. And in the face of these manipulation campaigns, without professionalism, you'll be challenged to get any level trust back.

It's just too easy right now for these campaigns to point out the lack of professionalism. (BTW, we should be shining a light on corruption etc. I'm just pointing out what I see as a problem with building trust.)
Excellent points.

Other parameters missing:
- Vacancy rate!
- Leasing costs (or value of your own time)

Annual cost should include: "normal" maintenance, repairs, insurances, renovation sinking fund, taxes, rates, strata fees if applicable.
Nested Labels is a fantastic idea!

Thank you so so much for your feedback. It's really not a difficult feature at all. Thank you for suggesting it.

The city argues that the regulations exist largely to ensure that first responders are properly equipped to deal with disasters.

For example, if the city uses zoning regulation to determine how long the fire truck ladders need to be, and a developer uses a loophole to construct a building beyond the regulated height, then the fire department isn't equipped to respond to all potential cases.

Depends on if the space could be occupied with others that also reside there and so pay income and other taxes as well. The property tax factor won’t be as high I guess, but maybe the income and sales tax from their living in the city would make up for it?

The headline is simply inflammatory and irresponsible journalism. There are legitimate arguments given by sources in the article as to why the buildings are constructed this way, arguments which may or may not be sound in the final analysis on the topic, but the reader is unfairly primed to side against them.
