You can turn that off in the settings.
> you have one unit; landlords have many more

You're comparing the wrong things. Negotiating power ultimately only comes from having other options. I could choose other apartments or the landlord could choose other tenants. The balance obviously depends on the individual market, but I think it's much closer to parity.

> It's much more expensive for me in time and money to move than it is for a landlord turn over a new unit.

I'm not so sure about this, either. It's a pain for landlords to move new tenants in, too. Most would prefer to keep good tenants around as long as possible.
There is a wonderful book called Proofs from THE BOOK, highly recommended if you like maths.

Can't say it better than Wikipedia:

> Proofs from THE BOOK is a book of mathematical proofs by Martin Aigner and Günter M. Ziegler. The book is dedicated to the mathematician Paul Erdős, who often referred to "The Book" in which God keeps the most elegant proof of each mathematical theorem. During a lecture in 1985, Erdős said, "You don't have to believe in God, but you should believe in The Book."

While in general bypassing Wi-Fi restrictions is indeed dubious from legal standpoint, it’s most likely as safe on an airplane as anywhere else. If in-flight Wi-Fi provider’s AP was in any way part of aircraft control system network, I would be surprised if overseeing such a design flaw weren’t a crime.

Why do hourly employees care how long your lunch break is? At least in the US it's usually not counted as work time. Assuming people clock out for the lunch break, I don't see why they'd care if it's 30m or 2hr, since people could just make up the hours by working later. Although I suppose it depends on the type of work being done.
That doesn’t establish how common vacancy rates are. You need to look at the rate, not the number. And politicians passing a law means nothing about the fundamentals: you’d need to know if the law is well targeted, or instead perverse.

Do you have any data on how long properties are vacant? And if they’re vacant, are they vacant for a reason like renovations or construction?

Every landlord I’ve ever had has wanted to rent their place quickly. They hate missing a month.
Yeah, that sounds like you're touching on something important. I'm not sure that a bit of tweaks to basic education are anywhere near the whole story, but yeah, our society seems to be organized around information scarcity, and simply can't cope with information overload.

There are other problematic sacred cows that are really hard to broach that similarly touch on information overload. We've got copyrights that allow rent-seeking behavior even where the value lies not in the creation, but in the shared social history, and in any case have durations that are out of whack with the encouragements needed to create. We've got a first amendment protection of speech that protects very valuable discourse and the ability to criticize, yet is only protects from the government, not the increasingly important non-governmental organizations (like but not exclusively social-media platforms). And it's a blunt tool too; it protects from imposed silence, but it does not protect from drowning out with noise. There's no framework for dealing with, essentially, really smart spam - and even if there were some countermeasure, the first amendment would likely render it illegal! And while I think it's perfectly reasonable for corporations to have a voice, I don't think people really considered the downsides of lobbying and other intentionally misleading messaging when reinterpreting incorporation to include first-amendment protections.

But suggest that the first amendment is flawed now, and people immediately jump to the conclusion that you personally must want to live in a Stalinist dictatorship.

(4) nobody wants to pay for it (i.e. prioritize fixing existing code vs building new features). It only gets fixed when the system is in such a state that new features are nigh on impossible to implement. Until that level is reached, developers just absorb the cost of working with the legacy code base as an externality.
I consider it very believable. Of course the US has the same interest in destabilizing other countries as other countries have in destabilizing the US.

I develop mostly Python for a living, so I'm well aware of this problem. :)

Like all rules, this has exceptions. This is sort of a good "exception that proves the rule". Yes, PEP8 compliant Python development requires you make a few-line change to your .vimrc. My .vimrc contains this:

" Set tabs to width 2.
filetype plugin indent on
set shiftwidth=2
set softtabstop=2
set tabstop=2
set expandtab

" language-specific settings: tab width is 4 for python
autocmd FileType python setlocal shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=4

So sure, not completely default. But note: the 8 line change I have works without any other changes on every vim install I've come across, and doesn't really change my behavior as a user that much. The people I'm arguing against are proposing installing whole giant behavior-changing plugins (i.e. a linter). I've got a few changes in my .vimrc, but probably fewer lines than even the most basic plugins.

Tech is pretty good, and they're working on a VR headset which works with games. If you talk to the founder, his story is really interesting. He has an uncle who was crippled in a trucking accident, and his end goal is to create a version of this which can help cripples regain mobility. He's using games as his beachhead market to get traction, proof, a chance to iterate, $$$, etc. Pretty inspiring stuff, and "social-conscience" investing done right, in my opinion.
This might be true at some shops, but if so, they're doing it wrong. You can move fast and still maintain code readibility. No matter how fast you're moving, code shouldn't be accepted into a shared repository unless it meets minimum standards. A well-functioning agile team cuts corners by not over-engineering, by not waiting for elusive completion, by releasing minimally-viable products that provide user value to get feedback and drive further development. Even breaking things is ok, but sloppiness is not. When you push out crap code to meet an arbitrary velocity target, you're just digging an inescapable hole of tech debt. If you're not thinking about the poor sucker who has to read your code, you're doing it wrong.
They've been claiming "judeo christian" values for a while, this is nothing new.
"Which is a reasonable political stance I reckon"

Run that by me again.

How is denying something you know to be true a reasonable stance.

How is taking (or actively not taking) a course of action you know will harm the people you've been elected to serve, a reasonable stance.

This is pretty basic stuff for a democratically elected official.
Of course they're more vehicle-vehicle in the US; hardly anyone walks in America. Just look at the stats. Even the walk-iest big city in the US, NYC, only has like 6% walk mode share.

However, controlled for number of trips/distance, being a pedestrian in the US is generally quite dangerous compared to elsewhere.
Well it's a step in the direction. If you can get that to work then maybe you can then figure out the other stuff afterwards.

That means a landlord can extract money well above a true market rate.

The market rate IS what the landlord extracts from it, which is what the market, you, is willing to pay.
Buying data from Mark Zuckerberg. $900 in total revenue and still not profitable
BUT!

Today was our first profitable day :) so far we've spent $10 on ads and have gotten two sales for a total of $63. Not too shabby. The cool thing about Facebook ads is that it gets easier. The more money you give Zuckerberg, the more data he gives you. Today, one of our customers was a repeat visitor who first saw our ad 17 days ago and converted today. Will this experiment continue to work? I honestly don't think so. It seems like to run Facebook ads properly you need a product or AOV that is at least $150.00. The rough math being $1.00 per (highly targeted) click... so spend $100, get 100 visitors to the site, get 1 sale (1% conversion rate) and break even. The goal would be to work towards a higher conversion rate of 3-5%. We'll see. I do like buying facebook data and building out my pixel. Facebook is evil but super powerful.

Wikipedia: “The core principle of Tor, "onion routing", was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson, and computer scientists Michael G. Reed and David Goldschlag, with the purpose of protecting U.S. intelligence communications online.“

Recently, many or all of the US’s agents in China were captured and executed:

This is why things like mandating Apple, Google, et al use breakable encryption is extremely bad. Anyone who follows information security knows Apple struggles to keep up with 0 day exploits.

My opinion is that it is both in the interest of the United States government and all human-rights abiding democratically elected states to have as absolutely secure and anonymous communications systems as possible. I’m not the only one who believes this. In fact, I think this is very very much a CIA vs FBI situation, domestically. Is it really worth exchanging knowing what was on some dead nut jobs iPhone for the ability of government officials, the military, business executives (e.g. Jeff Bezos apparent breach by Israeli assisted Saudis), and every day common citizens to communicate securely?
Yes in Toronto these are called Development Charges and are charged to the buyer/builder proportional to what they are building.
The concept of tearing a document in half is an age old authentication mechanism. This is where we get the lega terminology "party of the first part" and "party of the second part": a deed to land would be written out by a scrivener in duplicate on parchment, and then the parchment would be cut in half by hand using a scalloped cut. Matching up the halves would authenticate the title of the grantee.

Yes, both the motivation[1] and the format[2] of these books is very effective and quite unique. It's a shame no one else has carried on in this style for more recent languages.

I don't think that tech is any more complicated than other fields/subjects. Every subject has levels of abstraction, and as you advance the layers are gently stripped away.

When I started in this field, I began by learning to use some apps, then progressed to learning a single programming language, then another, then about assembly and binary, then about logic gates and then about transistors.

The reason for a talent shortage in tech has more to do with children's education than anything else. I remember giving a talk in front of about 600 developers and asking them, "How many of you chose this field because you were inspired by a teacher at your school?". I'd say about three hands went up. I think if I had been talking at a literature conference, a medical conference or an archaeological conference, there would have been far more hands raised in the air.

The majority of successful developers that I know are self-taught. Even those with CS or SE degrees acknowledge that the skills that got them hired were self-taught. There could be thousands of potentially amazing developers out there that will never know their potential because they either never experienced being taught CS at school, or it was taught badly.

Early years education is important. We should be introducing the subject as early as we introduce English, Math, Science, History, etc. We've all done history projects on the Romans, or Geography projects on volcanoes, when we were six or seven, why not do projects on Turing machines at the same age? Kids should be programming (Scratch) as soon as they can use a mouse and a keyboard.

Unfortunately we have a vicious circle. While there is a tech shortage, we'll have a shortage of tech competent teachers. You're simply not going to get the best of the best, entering the world of education, when there are more lucrative jobs in industry. If we really want to solve the shortage of talent, CS teachers need to be paid an industry competitive salary, and then we need to wait twenty years for the products of their teaching to enter the market place
Yep. The idea that you have one unit while the landlord has multiple units is not true.

You have the choice of a hundred units. And its their responsibility to fight with each other to make you choose one of them. Thats what keeps them honest and gives you bargaining power.

We had some serious hackers on the team and discussed how much probing & prodding it would take to find vulnerabilities like this, but made the conclusion anyone doing this should be worried about more serious consequences. I for one, wouldn’t attempt this myself on the aircraft. The hacker side of me finds this Amusing, but I hope the author doesn’t face more serious consequences, primarily for having made this public knowledge. I have a sense the defense company that now owns the system being bypassed/broken will not find it amusing in the least bit.

Hah. So years back, I was going to buy a car. Went to the bank and they wanted (what I considered to be) a ridiculous service fee for a cashiers check. Fine... I'll take cash from my account! Ah, need a couple days to do that sort of thing... I, was miffed and stubborn as hell... so I did just that. Came back, got fingerprinted, and picked up my pile of cash to go buy the two year old 996.

I think "expecting a recession" is maybe too strong, I think it's more a case that they just don't know what's going on. Same with me honestly, history suggests we should have a recession but it's not obvious at all what would cause it, at least to me.

In financial markets it's easy to see behaviour driven by fear and by greed, but this might simply be behaviour driven by confusion.

Because it's often about the "piece of paper" cost. What I mean by this is explicit costs and savings are preferred by management: they can point to their bosses, wave a sheet of paper, and say, "See, I saved twenty-six dollars here!" In reality, it may have cost fifty dollars, but that doesn't matter. It's the same reason why we have open offices, "hot desks", and improper tools: the incentive structure is wrong.
There's no "Company Store" where you get deeper in debt to your employeer. No indentured servitude. No one forcing you to work there (quit anytime for a better job). Etc.

> It’s not theoretical at all, and Walmart does dick you around, albeit indirectly. They dick around the supplier and force them to make cuts in quality to meet the price.

People are aware of this, and purposely choose products that are 80% as good for 20% of the cost. Other people shop at Whole Foods and Apple. None of them is ripping you off. They all provide options that you knowingly and willfully choose over your other options.

> And if Target/Amazon/Dollar General weren’t around, there’s no reason they wouldn’t increase prices and pad their margins.

The comparison to landlords being that if one of them had a monopoly on local housing they could charge really high prices. But that seems pretty fantastical considering that a local housing monopoly hasn't happened basically anywhere and would presumably yield antitrust scrutiny besides.

> In a landlord situation, their cost of goods is so small that they can afford to sit on an empty apartment while prospective renters need to put a roof over their family or business.

The cost of goods is the cost to buy housing (and the opportunity cost of the interest you could have had on that money), plus that of maintaining the property. If that is so cheap then why is anybody renting?
To the extent what you describe about depth and breadth is true, it’s true of all knowledge and all subjects.

I highly recommend Nathan Ensmenger’s The Computer Boys Take Over for a look at the history of the so-called “skill gap” (which is mostly bullshit) since the 1960s. It has a little to do with the nature of the subject matter, but it has a lot more to do with historical contingencies and internal dynamics at schools and companies.
