The problem is that health care is attached to employment. The solution might take the form of universal health care, it might be not-so-universal private health care, it might be some hybrid. But don't gloss over what the problem is because you'll lose common ground with people and end up arguing over the solution and not agreeing that there's a problem.
Tucows has been terrible in handling a client of mine's issues, their domain has no SPF or DKIM, and thus their email is unreliably making it to customer's inboxes.

If anyone has pointers on how to get a domain & email address that are both bought & hosted with Tucows up to snuff with the email security standards of yesteryear (SPF & DKIM), I would really appreciate it!
Umm.. there never was an agreement that if you worked hard the boss and company would take care of you. Never existed. That's just an imaginary explanation pitched by nostalgia and the media. You know what actually improved life for workers? Unions.
SF's (and CA's) housing crisis has it's roots in NIMBY-ism and property tax policy. Both are intertwined and share proponents. Rent control is a bandaid, which isn't to say it's not needed as an emergency measure.
For a lot of people IRC is "broken" when compared to modern alternatives.

It’s a 20 year old story about rent control in San Francisco. So, we are talking about a long term problem?

Would need a somewhat realistic emulation of the NIC setting/clearing these flags. Also, the by far slowest steps are the MMIO access because it involves a full PCIe round trip which is hard to emulate.

It will behave different at the level we are looking at here. It's easier to use real hardware; we specifically chose this NIC because it's probably the most common 10G NIC on servers.
It stopped being cool hiring 10 engineers and a nice space in San Francisco, burning $250k / month.

Or maybe there's so _much_ VC money that it's someone's job to invest _all_ of it. And you can't do that $250k at a time.

Someone surely is incentivized to make these investments outside of any long-term payback. Perhaps they fear investors will take their millions back if it stays fallow too long?

Limiting rent increases to max 8% (what this bill encodes) is only going to affect maybe 1-3% of lease agreements annually. This isn't about vast controls of housing stock, it about limiting 20% rent spikes people experience.
Rent control deters the building of more housing. It's literally part of the problem.
If I were to guess, this bill will likely be positioned as a long-term solution and the other bit where housing supply is addressed will go largely neglected.

Which is, coincidentally, an apt summary of San Francisco's housing policy for the past twenty years.
I am a landlord in Oregon, but not California. The curious, although ultimately predictable, outcome of the new rent control measure in Oregon is that while I have historically had an arrangement with my property management to be restrained in annual rent increases, they are now advising a default annual increase of the maximum allowed (7 percent before inflation). This is because larger adjustments cannot be made if and when necessary due to market conditions, so it's smart to just steadily increase rent at the maximum rate permitted. If I agree, I believe the result will be more profitable for landlords, and hurtful to tenants.

The real solution to a housing problem is to incentivize and facilitate the building of more housing. ADUs, relaxed zoning, reduced building regulations, reduced fees for permitting, etc. I fear rent control is actually going to do more damage to the housing market than good.
Right, but you're questioning a position that doesn't really exist. Pretty much everyone that is a strong advocate for labour protections would also like universal healthcare, it's just much more likely we can achieve labour protection in the short term than universal healthcare.
I don't know... while it may not be the case here, I wouldn't be exactly shocked if the fact that Rust restricts your ability to do some things ends up having a performance penalty, even if any safety checks themselves happen at compile time.

At the moment, rideshare drivers don't get paid for being available, so the analogy to being "clocked in" at a regular job falls down.

This is how the rideshare companies claim an absurdly high hourly rate for driving — you only get that rate while actually giving rides and it is generally infeasible to be giving rides all the time. The effective hourly rate is much lower.
Rent control is abused in SF. Every engineer I know, who has been living in SF for over 5 years is currently paying an absurd amount compared to their monthly income. I even sub-leased an apartment from a friend who took off a sabbatical, and he didn’t want to lose his rent control.

I don’t know who rent-control is supposed to benefit, but it seems broken. Eventually these places end up in the hands of people who know how to game the system. Just build more housing and the incentive will go away.

I have a few parallel objections:

1. It's not like it would be difficult to track all of the little chunks of time worked and add them all up. Everything is automated anyway, and nobody is filing time cards.

2. In the end, the wall clock is how workers experience time when they're out doing work for these companies. They get their bike out and go deliver food for a few hours, or get in their car and drive around the city picking up and dropping off passengers. It's not clear to me that the interstitial minutes between gigs should be considered free time for the workers that goes uncompensated. If they drop off a passenger and pick up a new one within five or ten minutes, they've been working continuously. They haven't had a chance to go home and take their socks off and relax. They're working. It seems like a step backwards for everyone's mental well-being to use technology to clock the exact minutes that they produce value for the company, and cut off their pay the instant they stop producing. It's like a widget assembly line monitored by cameras where workers get automatically clocked in only when they're physically touching the widgets, so that if they sit up to stretch, or walk over to the cabinet to grab a different tool, or even if the conveyor belt is sending the next widget over to be worked on, they stop getting paid. I wouldn't want to work like that.

3. The fact that someone can be doing work for multiple companies at the same time doesn't seem like such a big problem to me. If they're on a segment of a route in which they're simultaneously delivering a passenger and someone's lunch, they should get paid for both. And the same contiguous-time rules I mentioned in #2 above can apply - as long as they're continuously picking up lunches and passengers within a certain interval, they're working two jobs.

You offer letter should have the title in there, what did that say?
I guess my thought is that much of correctness comes from the compiler being able to make assertions that some type (and thus some memory address) will only be used in a correct way at compile time, etc, etc.

For example if we were dynamically linking a Rust crate into a Rust binary is it necessary to check boundaries in both or can some of that be deferred because we can assume the binary that will link has already done the boundary checks, etc?

I know it's a bit contrived since ideally we'd just compile statically, but I think it's still potentially valid. If both pieces of software have the guarantees then ideally you can factor out some of the overhead.
It might cheer you up to to think we have yet to prove there is a star with no planets.
I’m surprised to read negative opinions about rent control. The alternative to rent control is having one’s rent double next week. I’m amazed that rent control was not a thing!
GCC is a front-end: in this case, it should just call ld.
For those living in SF, this significantly expands the number of eligible apartments for rent control. Right now only multi-unit homes/apartment complexes built before June 1979 have rent control. Now everything (except single family homes/owner occupied duplexes) built within last 15 years on rolling basis is eligible.

Given how slowly SF builds housing, the fact that anything built 2004 and earlier is eligible basically means almost everything except new high rises.
Nearly?
Rust is already faster than C in quite a few scenarios and benchmarks. The other comment also said Rust is faster when C is compiled through clang.
It's really hit or miss in my experience. I've had several occasions at both Home Depot and Lowes where I ask an employee for help and the response is "We don't sell that." 5 minutes later after walking the aisles, I find it.

One example, I had recently rented a townhouse with very overgrown brush in the back yard, thick as a jungle. My weedwacker wouldn't scratch it, so I wanted a machete. The home depot employee acted like he'd never heard the term "machete" in his life. I explained what it was, and he shrugged, muttered something about big knives being illegal (untrue and ridiculous), and walked away. I found them in the gardening section.

Perhaps an alternative real solution to the housing crises is the abolishment of professional landlords themselves. Why should we support a system where people can own many properties, each feeding them 1/2 of someone else's paycheck? Public-owned housing is the future. It works in Europe and it can work here.

Treating housing as an investment vehicle is fundamentally incompatible with the ideal of housing being affordable. How can you possibly have affordable housing in a system where housing increases in value (cost) at 5% a year? Who could possibly afford it after several decades of compound growth?
It's different if you already live here. If you already live here probably you have some arrangement: maybe you're in a rent protected home (75% of SF is like that), or maybe you live with 5 other roommates or maybe live with parents, etc.

It's different, if you're moving to here from another area you're not going to be able to get one of those rent protected rentals.
Prop 13 but for renters now too!

I wonder if this was pushed by landlords. It's easier to push a 5% hike in rent every year than random 10-20% hikes. Especially in a nearly tapped out market. The prices are already astronomical and the home prices are fluctuating/faltering. In 10 years, the rent will be 63% higher. And that's after inflation. Your $3,000 1-bedroom will be nearly $4900 after 10 years. Unbelievable. Will FAANG prop up landlords by adding 5-10% TC increases every year? Startups certainly won't. They stopped increasing comp a few years ago.
yes, and there was a huge well funded study a few stanford professors conducted of rent control in SF in 2018 that is a much more accurate study of the affects of rent control policies.

"Rent control appears to help affordability in the short run for current tenants, but in the long-run decreases affordability, fuels gentrification, and creates negative externalities on the surrounding neighborhood."

To be clear, the rent control studied was a yearly rental increase of ~2/3 CPI, or 1-2% annually, while market rents increased at about 7% annually since the 50s in SF. The proposed policy is a rent cap of around 8%, which is higher than the aggregate rent increase in the SFBA over the past 30 years or so (also 7%). This isn't a rent control law as much as it is an anti gouging law, disallowing landlords from increasing rent 10-20% YoY, which happens to maybe 1-3% of the market.

https://www.brookings.edu/research/what-does-economic-eviden...
So are you saying that landlord should be able to double your rent like that?
At the cost of further disincentives to actually building more housing. What a great idea.

Every field of economics agrees that rent control causes harm to the people it's supposed to help.
The absolute nearness of approach depends on the energy of the orbit as well as it's eccentricity.

Talking about the "speed" is potentially unclear as an object's speed can vary greatly within its orbit.
No, that is not evidence of an event horizon, it's not circumstantial evidence either because it pre-supposes the existence of one.

Despite the name, no event horizon was directly photographed. Partly because event horizon's are not actually visible LOL.

The photo taken can not distinguish between a true black hole, and a super massive object of the same mass.

We just assume that if you have that much mass there is no force that is capable of preventing it from becoming a black hole.

But, that's not proof that such a force does not exist.
Before anyone gets too excited, the cap is apparently 5% plus inflation per year [1] which seems pretty mild? (For comparison, Oregon's rent control is at 7% plus inflation, and San Francisco varies but is below 3% [2].)

I didn't read the piece but suspect there is a conflation of "middle class" with what might be better called "professional class"- 2 working parents in high end white color jobs in high demand locations in high demand cities who tightly manage their time.

$350k is at the very low end of this professional class with multiple kids. Kids, and proximity to good schools, get very expensive, very quickly.

Housing: properties that can fit families- but where kids need to share rooms- in demand areas sell for $2M. Look it up. Mortgage on that is $10k/month. Rents are equivalent.

Childcare: a babysitter off the books for one kid is minimum $20/hour. With multiples, and a baby requiring full time attention, plan for $1k/week. Don't forget the bonus.

Food: at Whole Paycheck, the only supermarket in high demand areas, with picky kids, it's basically $5/person/meal. A 4-5 person family is $60-$75/day, $2k/month. Meals out with the kids anywhere in that neighborhood are going to be $20+ entree, $10+ appetizers, $10/dessert, $10/beer. Family of 4-5 can easily get to $200, including tip. Twice a month and that's $6k/year.

So with just those "basics" you're already at $120k + $50k + $30k = $200k post tax expenses, so $350k pretax. No private school, no vacations, no cell phones, no savings, no incidentals.

Note that in the context of these areas, this "professional class" is absolutely "middle class" in relative terms. "Upper class" in these areas will be the numerous families with assets and incomes above $1M.

A few faculty with tenured, hard-money jobs might be able to kick back and relax, but those positions are the unicorns of academia.

Everyone else is scrapping to bring in money, just so they can keep their jobs. A lot of places, especially medical schools, expect faculty to cover most of their salary from external grants (~15% of which get funded). I would bet a lot more grad students are burning the midnight oil than FAANG engineers too.
Rent wasn’t that much cheaper 5 years ago, if at all, save renting one of the luxury high rises.
Because it is easier to embed it into a browser rather than persuade vendors of all major OSes (Windows, Mac, Android and thousand of Linux distributions) to add it.

Also, even if a company like Microsoft adds it to Windows, they will add it only to they latest version and leave people on Windows XP, 7 and 8 without protection. Same with Google - they will add it only to the latest Android. Because commercial companies want you to buy new products, not to use the old one for a long time.
