So I know in London any new housing development has to allocate part of the properties for shared ownership or social housing,
To be able to get planning approval.

Seems very reasonable because property developers make a lot of money selling luxury homes. And also in a lot of places the development is made after demolishing "unsightly" high density social housing.

Often with far fewer homes than there were there originally.

The social housing may be in a separate apartment block in a large development or the less prestigious lower floors.

If you pass by a development it's often obvious what the poor door is.

I've seen one where the social housing residents can't come in through the main entrance but instead goes through the utilities entrance, past the bin storage.

The justification I normally hear about it is that the private home owners will pay high service charges for things like concierge, swimming pools, gyms landscaped gardens, etc etc.

But honestly this seems like an excuse. Like people aren't asking for services for free.

The architecture of their home is telling them that they are inferior every time they enter their homes.

I find it hard to imagine the scenario where a developer is presenting their plan to the council and saying: "this is the door for the poor people"

But then again, I can imagine the arguments of "this is how it is always done"

Ah, yes. They may want to talk to people responsible for selling parts of Vancouver olympic village for 2-3 mil per apartment in one building while the adjacent one was allocated to the welfare housing. Even in a presence of Chinese money. See how well it went.
I'm not entirely sure either, but maybe it's meant to be interpreted in light of the 'existence precedes essence' concept of existentialism. 'Being' might then mean leading a life where one choses their destiny, in contrast to mere 'existence'. Maybe the translation from French is not perfect?

"The paradox of human life is precisely that one tries to be and, in the long run, merely exists." I think what she means is: if you have your life ahead of you, you can still choose your destiny (you can be something). However, having lived that life and looking back at it, history is fixed and there is nothing to choose when it comes to the past (it merely exists).

‘Poor doors’ are just a natural consequence of putting social housing where it doesn’t belong.

Making social housing more luxurious isn’t solving any real problems.

Tax the luxury developments more and spend that money on social housing in a reasonable location instead.
Trump uses tweets for two purposes. First is to inform the public. Second is to further his strategies.

An example is how the Squad of 4 started to attack Pelosi. Trump slammed the 4 on Twitter and caused Pelosi to jump in and start defending them. This had the effect of making these left extremist Dems the face of the Democrat party. How does that benefit Trump? It makes the Dem party unpalatable to a majority of Americans, which turns 2020 into a cakewalk for him.

Where does social housing belong then? Where rich people can't see it?

Society benefits greatly from mixed areas - race, class, etc.

Well, they don't belong there. They are there because the government has mandated it. It's unnatural, and this is the result.

reconsider and start a business

There was an interesting chart linked from here a couple of months ago, sadly I didn't bookmark it. It showed that the bottom decile of entrepreneurs earned less than the bottom decile of employees. The top decile eared a lot more than the top decile of employees. Everybody else was roughly equivalent.

It seemed most of the entrepreneurs were happy with this, business wasn't a get rich scheme for them, rather a way to avoid traditional employment.
That's certainly part of it, but I think share buybacks are another major reason for the disproportionate rise of US markets. US corporations have bought more of their own shares than anyone else in recent years (Unfortunately I can't find the data right now). It explains a huge chunk of EPS growth.

Of course that wouldn't have been possible if corporate balance sheets hadn't been better in the US than elsewhere (especially in Europe). So it's still a sign of strength.

But it also raises a couple of questions: Is it sustainable? Why can't corporations find anything better to do with that money? Why is capital spending relatively muted while productivity growth has been subdued for years (both indicators have improved somewhat only very recently)?

I think low interest rates explain some of that. It makes sense to move funding from equity to debt in a low interest rate environment. But when buybacks run out of steam, I think we may well see a negative stock market reaction.

It's actually pretty cool. So for starters there's disambiguation since all serials are unique, you won't have carriers knowingly delivering to the wrong drop assuming the drop keeps possession of the bill since it's globally unique. You have some plausible deniability if found, "it's just money in my wallet, picked up at mcdonalds" and it's easy to hide/dispose of. If you're really smart you could also list a handful of possible serials for extra plausible deniability and hold/disperse the others such that the mechanism is still very likely to work due to the difficulty of finding a particular bill in circulation. Even when caught you may have some additional protection when the goods being immediately exchanged are otherwise legal, legal in the absence of money changing hands or difficult to establish in the absence of money or another component.

Assuming the actual transaction is reasonably atomic, which it should be unless there's a fight or something, the the carrier can always prove that they delivered to the correct drop if they have a physical copy of the agreed upon serial while the drop can prove that they didn't receive a delivery if they can reproduce an undamaged copy of the whole bill. The ripping of the bill itself could plausibly serve as a step in a multi step process where the carrier may demand that the bill be ripped after the serial and goods are confirmed but before not yet exchanged so that the drop can't claim that a delivery was not at least attempted on the part of the courier. We could also do it with two bills, one from each party such that each party can have some proof that a transaction was or wasn't completed and with the right party in the case of a double exchange.

The upfront cost of forging passable $1 bills is too high to be economical to pull off just for these low volume transactions, especially after the logistical cost of injecting the bills or otherwise tricking someone to using a fake as well as keeping a copy on hand but even if you achieved that. You'd also have to contend with the fed's coming after you for forging currency if the bills you distributed ever got into public circulation in any significant quantity so it should be pretty secure as long as they're sourced from a fairly high volume location like mcdonalds or something.

The entropy might be somewhat useful too in bookkeeping like maybe using only bills ending with a 0 are for small cash transactions, 1 for large cash transactions, 2 is for drugs A, 3 for drug B etc... Entropy might be important but there are much easier sources.

Because with music I literally don't care what I'm listening to. If famous artists left Spotify I couldn't care any less - I just want a playlist with "music" and that's good enough for me. With video, I don't want random TV shows - I want specific ones that interest me, and either they are available on Netflix or they aren't, the fact that there is 10k other shows does nothing to justify the subscription.

Social housing belongs where the prices are reasonable, i.e. mostly not in central London luxury developments.

We’re talking about the most desirable areas in the world here, trying to force in social housing is just weird.

It’s not like there isn’t a bunch of places within a very reasonable commute where they could put social housing. Fuck, I used to commute from Reading for a while!
Honestly, seems like a bad idea.

If the rich are willing to pay a premium for the top floors of a building forcing them to share the building with the poor will make them just build their own.

Better yet, have incredibly punitive taxation for this so it becomes even more of a social symbol. Then use that money to improve the lives of people living in the lower floors instead of doing meaningless gestures.
A lot of people reach for redux because they mistakenly believe it's required for react development.

In 2019 if you are using modern react with context and hooks, it offers very little that you can't find built into react already.
> The architecture of their home is telling them that they are inferior every time they enter their homes.

Rather is it telling them that the tax payers are paying for their home. The idea being that (for those without a permanent disability) social housing should not be something you stay in forever, rather only until you have the means to find a place to stay on your own. Is it necessarily bad that people are reminded of that?

There are 12 people in the IT team of the main org with two admin supervisor. They run Kubernetes for the regional infrastructure. I am bringing the 10x engineer and his printer tech guy from our local org up to speed with the new stack (hypervisor + docker + some linux tools) and documenting how to manage it.

If they don't learn the soft way now they are going to learn the hard way later when the main org take away their admin privileges from their hands and restrict them to the php app.

The IT team is quite fed up with the incessant problems of this server (mail gateway got blacklisted for instance with the last incident). That server should have been retired but our resident guru has hit a mental roadblock regarding the migration.

I can't format the word enough so here it is with capital letters: DOCUMENTING.

> take over your "superior" variant of technical debt

Clearly the current server situation (one guy knows how to run it) is vastly superior to documenting it for others and not patching security holes is okay.

At least now we'll be able to shut down a particular service instead of shutting down the whole dept. next time that server hiccups.

I never heard of Tau so I had to look it up and came across this: "pi is a confusing and unnatural choice for the circle constant."

So now I am confused.

Can someone explain in what context pi might be confusing?

Because the sinus/radians always relates to the radius instead of the diameter?

I'm not rich by any measure but I know the kind of people who receive social housing. Not saying they are all problematic but many of them are, and one bad neighbour is enough to make your life hell.
That's generally for relatively small businesses, particularly family owned ones - often the premises are owned by the company pension scheme, which is both tax efficient and allows the wealth to be passed onto future generations

It's also not unusual for some larger companies to have their head office owned by the founder / majority shareholder in a separate company, Monsoon and Arcadia in the UK are two examples of this

We call PSD2 "openbanking" in the UK.

It basically means things like YANB (budgeting tool) or freeagent ( accountancy tool for small business) can get access to data you want them to, without you giving them your credentials.

Historically, most banks offered all or nothing access, and the aggregators would screen scrap using credentials that can steal all your money, and the links usually broke, or needed you to contioniously re-auth.

Its actually working. Modern banking apps will likely start to pull in all your financial services in the future.
> Look at it this way. In 15 years time, that ancient docker setup may well be as insecure, unmaintainable and poorly-regarded as PHP5 is today.

Surprise, surprise, when you don't maintain and update your stack it becomes unmaintainable and insecure. News at 11.

Why the heck are you implying that updating it now means we don't manage and update it for the next 15 years ?

What do you suggest, then ? Keep things as is ? I remind you that the thing is insecure as fuck and it becomes hard to add features or patch the app because it's running on an old version of apache/php/mysql.
This is a tough one - the service fees are real, iirc I know of some people who have to pay £700 a month to the development which is more than enough to rent a small place outside of London. So I can see an argument for segregation even if my personal hope would be for better harmonious living.

Though when some people have to buy a place for ~800k and other people get state assistance it's hard to see that working out well in either direction. One party feels like their hard work and effort has been undermined and the other party sees privilege and vast inequality.

I people who are "big" enough to drop that kind of money on a property and be ok living next door to someone in a similar plot who didn't.

But what is the solution? Hard to say, maybe tackle the root cause of wealth inequality - but how. I am neither politician nor economist...
