But you have to live somewhere. The eviction process is a lot faster than the foreclosure process. A landlord is incentivize to evict you as fast as possible. The bank does not want your house - especially during a recession where the value is dropping and then they become responsible for insurance and upkeep.

Anecdotally when my parents bought their house in 1978, the $600 a month they were paying on their mortgage was a slight stretch. When they were in their last year in 2008, that amount was laughably small.
I don't see it as an appeal to authority but rather as context.

"Brevity is the soul of wit." -WS
This is a classic case of smart people jumping head-first into a problem with only a superficial understanding of what makes something successful.

I've seen this in mobile games over and over again - people who were successful in AAA games would start a company and raise a bunch of money and say "We're going to FIX mobile gaming!" And then they would fail spectacularly because their mental model of the problem didn't accurately reflect reality.

Google has repeatedly blown chances to build social platforms because they seem to believe that every problem can be solved via scale. OpenSocial is another prime example: They built a platform, brought in social networks, were able to say that they had X many millions of users and thus had achieved massive success... but it was a terrible API that was difficult to work with and offered far less functionality than the Facebook platform it was meant to compete with. I'd love to see some commentary from someone who worked on that, but my impression was that they didn't understand that the FB platform's extreme ease of use and developer-friendliness was what made it work well, and that the platform's scale was a value-add on top of that.

> Bad actors at this layer seem to be quite rare.

I think our experience is rather limited for the moment to tell (ok, barring refilled cartridges ;-), since bad acting is inhibited by existing mechanisms. (Even with cartridges -- what if your new yellow ink breaks that hidden watermarking that certain people have come to rely on?)

Compliant device receives an accepted designator (certificate), non-compliant device is not expected to have it. This model can easily be broken, unless it is being taken care of somehow in the new model.

Exactly, these are brick and mortar resources and skilled labor being poured into personal assets, not into infrastructure or affordable housing or charitable causes. If all these mega homes or mega expenditures of any kind were instead more usefully applied, capitalism would feel a much friendlier and just system.
One of my own techniques as a manager: if I'm not satisfied with an answer to my question, I'll just keep asking more questions.

Sometimes my questioning will lead the others to find some unnoticed complexity in their own proposal. Other times, their replies to my questions will lead _me to realize I had an incomplete picture in my own head. Either is a useful outcome--likely a better outcome than if I outright disagreed at the beginning.
This is something I think about as well. In my Midwestern city, some neighborhoods seem to be 60%+ landlord owned and always increasing. For every home sale to a young couple or first time owner it seems like another house is purchased in cash by some mid-size wanna-be property baron or a mega real estate conglomerate that already owns 200+ homes in the city.

It definitely feels like we're moving towards a system of feudal property barons extracting rent from people who are quickly being priced out of the means to own their own home.

Modern Rust aficionados use the same fallacy spread by Java programmers in the 90s. Just because the language has a type system that is safer than C, it doesn't mean that they can automatically write "safe" code. If a piece of code is safe or not depends more on its design and on the ability of the implementation team than the language in which it is implemented. Nowadays we have a big pile of Java code that has given us all vulnerabilities found in the web in the last 20 years. It probably wouldn't be different if these were written in Rust.
I don't follow. If you buy a Camaro and I say "I don't like Camaros and don't think people should buy them", that's not a personal attack- it's an opinion. You have the agency to make your own decisions and I'm not impeding anyone from doing so (nor would I even if I had such power).

I'm SURE web components allow a non-js fallback, or that should be introduced into the spec.

> However, there's another problem here, one for the rest of us — The site used for a single-family 700sqm home could've been used for something denser, that would've lowered housing costs for everybody else.

That's not really relevant in this case. All of the neighborhoods mentioned are low density distant suburbia. There are few jobs nearby and little incentive for growth there for working people. Housing costs are already pretty low for normal-sized houses in this area.

The US is huge and most of it has very low density. Unfortunately, with the transition to a service economy, automated agriculture, and the outsourcing of most manufacturing, fewer and fewer jobs exist outside of urban centers.

So you get insane housing costs in the increasingly few areas where there are lots of jobs, meanwhile other areas just languish. For the price I paid for my small Cape Cod house here in Seattle, in the small town I grew up in, I could buy a 4,500 square foot 5 bedroom / 5 bathroom mansion on a lake with a pool, two kitchens, study, game room, theater, etc. I just couldn't find a job there that would let me afford it.
In college, I would use computer lab computers as a proxy for my... experiments. I would just load up a small Linux distro from a CD into ram. That way, I could just reboot the computer when done, and it would reboot into Windows.
Two reasons:

1.) The "actual available capacity" is likely referring to how it needs to store information about the filesystem on the device, so you can't use it to store, say, a 64 GiB file on it.

2.) There's been confusion as to whether a kilobyte, megabyte, etc is a multiple of 1000 or 1024. Because of this the same file will show a different size depending on whether you're using Windows or Mac. kilo- as a prefix denotes multiplication by a thousand, but tradition has made it necessary to introduce the kibibyte, mebibyte, etc.
I'm genuinely disappointed you haven't responded, because you clearly think deeply about interaction design, as evidenced by your analysis of this click-wheel map interface. You just don't seem to have tried to understand the rant or my replies to you at all—you definitely haven't read the links in my first reply to you.

fixed manipulation points ... haptic interfaces [are often] inferior and frustrating ... There are no obvious integer set-points to allow a haptic interface to lock on to

This is exactly the kind of thing that the author of the rant called "haptic gimmicks", and is nothing like what the author favors over touchscreens. The author is talking about a dynamic physical interface, like this: https://rsnous.com/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/

For a map, not only is there an arbitrary XY coordinate that you want, but you can literally put your finger on it, so it lets you just place the selector there. Zooming should be continuous, so the dial has no click-points. "Flying" "down" or "up" (aka zooming in or out) feels like physical motion, with momentum, so the dial has a slight physical heft, and spins with some momentum.

But of course you wouldn't want to use this dial for everything, just like you've explained with such clarity as to why you wouldn't want to use a click-wheel for everything. That's why this interface is literally made of paper—building a different interface for a different application is as easy as literally cutting and pasting.

True, in Indiana; renters only recourse when the landlord refuses to maintain a property, is to move out.
They also have to justify it to the judge or live with a black mark on their credit. This, like an eviction, will make renting almost impossible in the future.

>Google was at its best a relatively open culture and 2011 is the year they killed other cultural icons such as Google Labs and (unofficially) deprecated 20% time. I think the road to the Google we see today started then.

Thanks for providing a great insight. I kept away from Google+ due to it's initial aggressiveness of opting in and linking it across other services. There was already a growing disillusionment around investing time and effort into various concepts, which ended up getting culled[1]. It was Google Reader, which made me realise not to take any Google service for granted or rely on them long-term and only use them in a disposable format.

Several of my younger friends live in cooperative housing, where they rent a big house, and individually rent out the rooms. Sometimes as many as 8 or 10 people live in a "single family" home. This seems like a great solution for all parties involved (including cities with very high rents), until you learn that the cities they're in often consider this an illegal use of the property and will force their landlord to evict them on short notice if neighbors complain. And, because it's technically an "illegal" living situation, they don't get a lot of the same protections they'd get if they were "legal" tenants. So, leases are kinda meaningless, if the landlord can evict at any time.

It's a sort of housing insecurity that makes their lives a lot more stressful than anyone should have to deal with, and it gives landlords a dangerous amount of leverage over tenants (they charge more, knowing it's being used by multiple tenants, but they'll claim lack of knowledge when the neighbors complain and the city comes knocking). And, of course, they'll ignore the lease if they get a buy offer that they don't want to say no to.

Cities, especially those experiencing dramatic rent increases and that have a history of only allowing single-family homes in much of their livable land (as most US cities do), need to remove zoning impediments to multi-family housing. There was a project published a couple days ago to map the zoning in a bunch of major cities, and it's eye-opening how tiny the available space for multi-family dwellings is in a lot of them, and it makes it make sense that there is a housing crisis in a lot of major cities. Maps are here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/18/upshot/cities...

Of course, that won't solve the too-big-too-far houses. The other problem with a lot of McMansions is that they were built in the middle of nowhere. Younger people want shorter commutes, the ability to bike or take mass transit, a neighborhood with shopping in walking distance, etc. People have figured out that quality of life in cities is just plain better than suburban life.
Airbnb is a part of the reason. There are studies out there that show that the rents in nicer neighbourhoods have gone up more than the average increase in the city. It is easier for the landlords to Airbnb the unit and make more money compared to renting it out long term. This decreases the supply of available long term units, which in turn increases the rent. Now is Airbnb the only cause for increase in rental prices? Hell no, but it definitely is a catalyst. I do think that Airbnb is beneficial if it was used the way it was meant to be, but it just has become another investment avenue for the rich now while fucking over people who actually work and live in the city but can't afford to buy a place.
Give it enough time and your hourly wages will amortize to cover this - what should now be a 75/hr tier will have remained at 60/hr because everyone gets paid that, working overtime, to get some job done that probably doesn't need overtime to get done.

Yes. They'd also take corn syrup or whatever other sweet liquid you give them, which may or may not be as good for them as honey. But when you're trying to make the most out of some tight profit margins, perhaps that isn't done.

If I'm honest, I prefer the crowd-sourced wisdom of everyone on HN [1], rather than a few individual's preferences. I do like the way you've put each person's list into topics though.

A few suggestions and questions:

- as the list grows, will there be some way to categorise and discover the lists? (tags, topics, etc)

- is the numbered list their recommendation in order? Or is it just a list that happens to have numbers?

- I would like a link to the source for each recommendation (twitter post or HN comment).

Congrats on putting this together though. I hope you receive lots of interest and appreciation!

So don’t buy a house with a big yard, etc.? We’ve got a house in a waterfront area that was laid out in the 1920s. Back when Americans were still free and there were no zoning codes. The houses are detached, but the lots are tiny (less than 3,000 square feet). No yard to take care of, close to neighbors, etc. And because people own rather than rent, you’re not getting a new set of neighbors every year.

He then became a meme shorthand for a very pessimistic thinker. Antinatalism itself has recently grow more popular, and even been represented in some popular media.
>This ridiculous idea that renting is "throwing money away" is absurd. I'm paying someone to deal with all the shit I absolutely don't want to deal with, and more importantly I'm paying for the freedom to easily up and move if something else fits my fancy.

Yet you'll almost always come out ahead financially, so not ridiculous at all. Real estate is a great way to build wealth, and owning your home comes with all sorts of financial advantages.

Also, you're paying that super. Nothing is free; it's a part of your rent. You may get lucky and have a responsive management company... or you may not, and that is likely tied pretty closely to how much your rent costs each month. It's not hard to get in tough with service people and, you know... you can always just learn how to fix things yourself.

Fair points, but I guess I'm just puzzled how we've come to be fascinated by the business and technical side of Google+'s demise more than being worried about loosing almost all digital history of our times (not with Google+ specifically ;). Rendering HTML in web browsers seems like a problem solved 25 years ago, and so does authoring and server-side rendering (eg. SGML can pull metadata and compose fragments out of databases or whatever you want). But the 2010's have, I dunno, "educated" us to see script-heavy approaches and "platforms" as progress when in reality they're anything but, neither technically, nor from the PoV of author independence, nor for publisher syndication, nor for readers suffering through ads and tracking. Maybe dynamic content is the first we're going to loose, so with a 2010's media blackout, in 2035 we'll all be wondering what this decade was like.
The problem is most people cannot reasonably answer the question "will I be able to pay off this debt in X years?". They just do it because thats what commercials say, thats what their friends say, thats what the bank says. They don't actually consider do they have the skills to acquire the job to earn the income required to pay off their debts. Most people go into debt without a plan for getting OUT of debt, this is the problem.

Why Managed Service Providers Should Focus on Cybersecurity
Lisp has actually lots of structure, but it is expressed in lists. You need to see past the list, guided by symbols, blocks and indentation.

It's a bit like bicycle riding or learning to drive a car: while you are starting out and still thinking too much, it feels difficult. Once one has trained enough, one can read Lisp code quite fluently.

But there are pitfalls: the code might need to stay in the typical standard conventions for style. One CAN go in Lisp way be beyond standard code, reprogram the language -> it can get arbitrarily difficult to understand the code and may require learning new ways to program... but there are some expressive languages which have the same problem.
