agreed. i noticed that as well. however, it says started between 13-15 so theoretically some of those on the tail end could have been in a up market.

not only that but futures can be shorted too so i don't think its unfair to use "are they profitable" as the criteria in a down or sideways market.

If there is any attempt to rent control is what I mentioned, not any particular point of the bill. The truth and I don't get it why people downvote me for just plainly state a fact, any kind of rent control and construction regulations just bring housing problems. Making caps (control) will not ease the crisis. Areas like SF or NY are very crowded and need more offer, not caps.
Elsevier has an open-access no-cost publishing option [1].

I understand it's considered inferior to the paywalled version by reviewers, and that Elsevier itself regards it rather like a loss-leader. So indirectly, I suppose Elsevier profits from it. And I don't disagree with the exhortation to avoid Elsevier - it's better for all of us if research (and especially publicly-funded research) can be read by anyone, without having to pay a gatekeeper.

You can't just conjure a 45% ROI out of nothing.

It either means inflation is incredibly high, productivity growth is incredibly high, there is some exotic "dark market" that most investors cannot access (probably made out of dark matter) or other people are losing a lot of money.

Except inflation isn't high, productivity growth isn't high and I just made up the "dark market" so only one explanation remains.
I can't really point out what exctaly it is, but it did make a difference for me.

I did a did a 4year apprenticeship in IT and Programming before deciding to go to college. It was all fine, could do real coding for a good company. I knew the syntax of a few languages, database design, uml, some basics of how webservers work,... But it didn't feel proper. It was more like a lot of things, but only superficially.

College on the other hand felt much more in-depth. I was really given the time to properly understand the things I was doing. Even the "maths" bits helped. E.g. vector maths changed the way how I reason about little unrelated things sometimes.

A good client, such as IRC Cloud, makes setting your nick name easy. Don't be lazy. Learn to use tools.

Yes, if you register it, and it's easier to register an IRC nickname than it is an account on virtually every other platform - no email/verification required.

It is uninformed. Note that in a survey of economists ~80% of economists disagreed with the statement below and only 2% agreed:

> Local ordinances that limit rent increases for some rental housing units, such as in New York and San Francisco, have had a positive impact over the past three decades on the amount and quality of broadly affordable rental housing in cities that have used them. [0]

The negative effects of price controls, especially when it comes to rents is the most unifying issue in economics. Rent control isn't a new idea, but there is agreement that it's a bad idea. It's not the landlords who say this, its the people who study this stuff. Paul Krugman wrote about this in 2000 [1].

Putting in arbitrary controls on prices to fight cost increases is about as effective as putting arbitrary controls on thermometers to fight global warming.

Saying that all ethics must be obstructions commerce is a pretty extreme view, that I really can’t see any justification for. An economy is nothing more than the sum of decisions made by the individuals that comprise it. I’m pretty sure the only way anybody could hold such a view would be to view all decisions they disagree with as unethical. Which is an opinion, I guess...
The reason Magic is different is for 2 major reasons:

1) You can sell your cards and get money from them (could be less, could be more) and they have some tangible value to other people.

2) You don't have to acquire magic cards through booster packs (aka loot boxes) only. If you want a particular card then you can go to the store and buy it. This was the major concern from the parent in the top comment of this post, that you couldn't just buy the skin directly but had to gamble for it.

Additionally if you just want to play with your friends and experiment there's no reason you can't just use proxy cards or fakes and have fun playing a deck. Though that's not for tournaments or anything serious.
IMHO the reason is that in rich societies people has many possible activities to perform. They feel that parenting kids is not one of the most attractive ways to spend their time on. Furthermore raising kids cost more in rich countries than in poor ones, so they can't afford as many as their parents or grandparents could.

That's a good question. The actual size of the images is not large: the problem is that I can visually see the email take a while to load properly, even for an email containing just two PNG images that are 2941 bytes and 6333 bytes respectively. If nearly every sentence were to be interrupted a few times with such delayed-loading images, the reading experience would be rather poor.

(This was with the images self-contained in the email, which seems to be implemented under the hood by having them be attachments and referring to them in the body, so the loading happens out of order... I haven't tried with the images being loaded as external images, but that has its own problems such as Gmail probably not loading them by default, or having to ensure the images will be available over the internet for as long as anyone might want to read the email which if you're sending it to a mailing list is ideally forever, etc.)

> It doesn't cap total costs, it allows 5% per year increase, it doesn't apply to new homes

If you tell everyone that you cannot increase more than 5% a year, this is used as a signal to all landlords to increase 5% a year. It's a coordination mechanism. And it helps hedge for years in which the market rent has increased by more than 5% and the landlord is unable to adjust. A commenter who is a landlord confirmed this as well.

And this will increase the incentive to build new homes. This could be good but new homes tend to be more expensive and serve the high end. Much like the median price of a new car is significantly higher than the median price of all cars on the market.

There are entire industries in New York that focus on buying units and converting them from rent stabilized/controlled to market rents through any means (direct payment, intimidation, legal, etc). To think this will somehow lower what people actually pay for housing is naive.
Everything that discourages designers from doing fancy things is good in my book.
My goal (set by a different culture of origin, with much less space available than in the US) is an apartment that I own, with enough indoor space for a family. The American obsession with "detached" doesn't resonate with me, and may not serve you well if you're living in this expensive of a housing market.
Anyone wanna chime in on conversion rates when it comes to styled vs. plain text? I always hear that the latter converts better, i.e. "Make it look like as if it was sent by a friend" and obviously it's a business related matter but I wonder why plain isn't used more often when visuals/emotion aren't the #1 selling points.

Sandboxie – Sandbox software for application isolation and secure Web browsing
With collectible card games, one has at least a tangible, transferrable object - meaning if someone wants to sell off their Pokemon/MtG cards, there is a pretty healthy market available. Even if the original manufacturer would go out of business, you would still have the assets.

With DLC gambling (which is what lootboxes really are), however, there are many problems:

1) the device OS manufacturer (Google/iOS) can go out of business, rendering the money one spent on the collectibles worthless

2) the application developer not providing updates for the software to run on new OSes or revoking the software outright, leading to the same result

3) there is no real transferability - at best one can restore their account on a different device, at worst (like in Train Conductor) there is no transferability at all. Moving DLCs across platforms (Android <-> iOS <-> PC <-> consoles) is extremely rare. Selling off the collected DLCs is not possible anywhere.
> is that anyone can design/build their own implementations with better UX

That's a common fallacy. Nobody is going to do for free this crucial work for a protocol that is practically unused. Teams should focus more on a strong implementation so the protocol gains ground
Every reason listed in this subthread, but also tracking gifs and other means of spying on the end user.
The problem is that for a lot of games you can't just directly purchase the cosmetic items, you have to open many loot boxes in order to try and "win" the cosmetic item that you desire.

Nice! I tried this though and it asks me for a password (unsure if for creating an account or logging in to existing one, code suggests for login) and I tried both blank and random one, but get `Unrecognized request` as a response for the first request.

This seems to indicate it's missing a register step, and then it fails to be as simple as IRC where you just set nickname and connect to a server. Sometimes the server asks you to identify yourself, but that's up to the server, not the protocol.
Sure, but they will be confronted with that trick in their lives. Maybe they can learn that it is a waste of resources.
This is really helpful - kudos!

Well, The Lancet published it - The Lancet is probably the #1 medical scholarly journal bar none. True - The Lancet is owned by Elsevier.

Ten years later, the General Medical Council found that Wakefield's research had been dishonest, and on that basis The Lancet retracted the article. But I don't think it's right to criticise Elsevier over the publication of a paper that wasn't conclusively falsified for another decade.

Reviewers are not supposed to be detectives; it's not their job to expose deliberate fraud. They rely on the material submitted by the author. This is the much same as for auditors; they rely on the documents supplied by the auditee's accounting team, they're not in the business of investigating criminality and blatant lying.

Elsevier smells no worse to me than any other commercial publisher of scholarly journals. To be clear, I think they all have a pretty dodgy whiff about them; but I'm not aware that Elsevier is any worse than the others.
