Great another move to remove the human touch of service from the food industry. If anything I feel like we're still a few years away from being able to have AI sophisticated enough to mimic conversion for people to comfortable enough to use daily for even simple tasks such as taking orders.
That’s definitely the general mentality in Portland, so I’m not surprised.
Sorry, it might be rude, it might be unfortunate for existing landlords, it might even be a terrible idea, but I don't see how you can call it "confiscation". If the defacto situation is maintained ownership until a decision is made to sell that is not confiscation.

If the city builds a trash transfer center right next to my house causing my property value to plummet I might be upset, but nothing has been confiscated from me because I do not own "the character of the neighborhood" except in some small collective part.
Losses on rental, including depreciation and fixed costs like property tax can be counted against profits on other units. These losses can be carried forward and applied against future taxes indefinitely in the US.

So, leaving an apartment empty that could be rented for $X isnt quite a straightforward loss of $X, since you also gain the ability to offset future taxes.
Not at all; free market fails to feed people daily. Even in the heartland of captialism we had plenty of bread lines during the great depression.

To be clear I’m not advocating centralized planning, or any specific planning method. I’m simply pointing out the free market has specifically failed at food distribution. Or at least, you're going to need to contort the definition of success to get the free market to meet it.

I saw another article like this about MIT recently. I have a really hard time taking the discussion as a whole seriously, because it kind of feels like bike-shedding as compared to "How are we going to grill some of the people who really, actually deserve it?"

On the list of priorities, reprimanding labs and schools for taking donations seems like it should not be coming first.
It’s not particularly difficult to make a donation anonymous in a way that the recipient genuinely doesn’t know who made the donation. Just have a neutral third party handle it. This could be a donor advised fund or a trustee, for example. I suspect this isn’t particularly rare.
I dunno about Co2, but the last time I heard about a project like this -- Naughty Dog's GOAL -- they absolutely could compile GOAL on the fly on the development PC and send it immediately to run on the PS2 dev kit inside an already running game. REPL-driven development directly on a game console. It was awesome.
Wow, I really hope that some breakthrough is made to help the poor kid. I couldn't even wish something like this on my worst enemy. Seems like something out of a horror story.
Your model sucks if you are arbitrarily choosing factors. You choose the factors with the most significant correlations, because those correlations are least likely to be "overly simplistic".

Why would we reject that zip codes are more likely to default on a loan? Seems like information I would like to be aware of if I was a home lender.

I certainly look at crime rates of a community before I live there. While a bad crime rate certainly doesn't make potential neighbors "guilty by association", it certainly increases the likelihood that one of my neighbors might be actually guilty.
About the trajectories, that makes it all the more impressive, doesn't it?

It's easier to show growth (improved metrics in unemployment, positive changes in wage growth, higher stock market) after a crash, right? When things are bottomed out, it's not so difficult to show improvements (after the initial proper steps are taken.) Along those lines-- I do give Obama credit for making the right moves immediately after the crash. He just ran out of ideas after a few years, thus the 'jobless recovery'.

But after things are improved for a while, then it gets harder to make incremental improvements.

If you're walking, it's not hard to change to running. But if you're already running, it can be pretty hard to move faster.

About giving it some time to evaluate, I agree this is a good idea.

Interesting argument. And since marketplace is said to be more than half of sales now, maybe thats their primary business.

A coordinated Amazon/Uber/Lyft shut down in California would be something to behold.
What a terrible website, can't even get a summary, or a sentence, without subscribing?
did you read the article or understand the bill? This bill doesn't impact construction finance because it doesn't apply for the first 15 years after a building is constructed (pretty much all residential construction loans use a 15 year rent projection for valuation). Additionally, the median market rent increase is a few percentage points lower than the rent increase allowed by this law. The main thing the law does is allow people who are being price evicted to be price evicted over 3 years instead of 60 days.

I like this sentiment, but the lab's behavior is antithetical to Lessig's argument. For unsavory benefactors there should be no tours, no VIP badges, no meetings with senior staff, no visits or honor of any kind. An invitation to the campus degrades the university's reputation. His presence in the lab is offensive to decent people.
Sure some absolutely will, but there were enough paperclip maximizers relative to the total available rental units that a law limiting their maximizations had enough political will to actually pass through the legislature even though it's blindingly obvious that putting a limit on rent increases encourages all landlords to always increase rent by the maximum allowed.
It is a lot in some ways (it’s a remodel, or repair, etc.) but you’re not going to buy your fist home in Berkeley if you’re working with a tight budget. People are paying cash in some instances.

I'm not the poster you replied to, but I can weigh in with my experience. I think the two statements, while similar, are usually employed by those with opposing socioeconomic views.

>People don't work in sweatshops because they love the job, they do it because they are desperate

>People don't work in sweatshops because they love the job, they do it because its better than any of their alternatives

The first statement is often part of a moral argument against exploitation and expressed in conjunction with a an desire or indifference to eliminating the job. The second is usually used in an argument which frames the worker as a rational actor and lacks the moral judgement.

A common, if inflammatory, example is sex work. On one hand, sex workers can be seen a desperate, vulnerable, and forced by circumstances into an inherently exploitative relationship. Those that hold this position often believe that sex work should be made or kept illegal to protect the individuals from this exploitation.

The alternative framing is that sex workers choose the job because it is the least bad of the available options. Removing the option will only push workers into a less preferable occupation.

I am fairly violently opposed to automation eliminating human jobs without some type of compensating control, which gets into a political place I don’t want to go right now.

But having said that...

The human touch of fast food ordering? What human touch? There isn’t much conversation that happens with the human that’s there today.
I really dislike the notion of clearing more land and putting up more cookie cutter houses and apartments for the sake of saturating the housing market in order to get people to rent for reasonable prices.
> I'm shocked at the ideological fervor here

Really? This is pretty common on HN. This is IMO one of its weaknesses.

There are certain topics that bring out political rants. One is regulation and another is housing prices in the bay area. This story brings out both.
Okay? I'm saying I worried about it. My watch died during the day sometimes because the battery only lasted about a day per charge. It also died whenever I forgot to charge it, and occasionally when I was out longer than expected (out late after work, etc).

I'm not claiming you worry about it or even that everyone else worries about it. I'm saying some people like myself worry about it, and not having to worry about it is nice. If you don't have to worry about it _and_ wear it, that's nice too.

I don't understand what you're trying to argue here, but I'm done with this thread.

> Bootcamps are rubbish in the long term.

That statement is rubbish. An education in CS will get you certain things, but your career is what you make of it. If you(hypothetical person, not OP) go to a bootcamp expecting to be handed a career on a silver platter, then you're a moron. Yes, there are plenty of those morons. I knew some of them when I went to Dev Bootcamp. And they were the types who didn't take charge of their careers, work on their people skills, go to meetups, interview like mad, etc. They got exactly what they put into it and either floundered or ended up in a different career, and I don't begrudge them for figuring out that the field wasn't for them.

Going to a bootcamp was a turning point in my life, and I'm making six figures working on a high profile app 6 years later as of this month. I know others who went to my bootcamp, didn't have a degree in CS, and are way more successful than I am. But it doesn't even matter if someone goes to bootcamp; they can learn entirely using free resources, and their inner drive is still the most important variable in their future success.

Is having a CS degree better? Maybe it is. But your post is telling people, who may be the perfect type of person to go to a bootcamp, that bootcamps are junk and are short term gratification. That's asinine.

By the way, what makes you think that your knowledge in CS and AI are going to be applicable in another decade? You have a good shot, for sure, but if there is a revolution in AI that changes the field fundamentally, or if(when) computers begin programming themselves, then you are just as screwed as someone whose framework or language of choice has become obsolete and dead.

Tech stack might go out of vogue? Then fucking learn another one. Your language is going the way of COBOL? Then fucking learn another language. The end. You don't need a formal education to do that. The only reason anyone is in a bad situation because their skills became obsolete is because their ability to predict the future sucks and they couldn't or wouldn't learn new things fast enough. Most languages aren't even that different, and there's a TON of replication between frameworks, libraries, compilers, VMs, etc.

I'm not trying to disparage your background in CS. I commend you for it. No matter what, there will always be people who are too inept to adapt. CS will only help those who have a calling for it, but no matter what, if someone doesn't have that fire within them that's going to take them where they want to go, they're an accident waiting to happen.
What? He was a VC who made some investments. He had a role in CC, which is actually above and beyond his job description, sure. But he doesn't hold a candle to Jon Postel or Vint Cerf or even John Perry Barlow.

He's another greedhead who got caught doing what he clearly did not want others to see him doing. He didn't even have the honor to get ahead of things; he tried to hang on until after he made the news.

That's an accomplishment he'll be remembered for.

Wow - borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. I'm curious if you or anyone else knows who underwrote such a loan? I'm guessing it wasn't a commercial bank? Where does the money come from to do the debt servicing on those loans?
its a great solution for people who's landlords are price evicting them by raising their rents by 25%. This law will allow people 2-3 years to find an alternate living arrangement compared to the 30-60 days they have today.
Nobody says the rent will go down. That's not the argument.

Increasing supply simply ensures tomorrow's rent is lower than it would be otherwise.
We cannot, landlords are a parasite on productivity whose existence is based on the theft from their tenants. If it was not profitable they would not do it, if it is profitable, it is inherently unethical.
> If a company attempts to raise rates because of a trend that doesn't actually exist, they will inevitably not be competitive with companies that recognize that the trend doesn't exist,

that assumes that all companies involved aren't doing the same thing. Corporations figured out a long time ago that when one of their competitors does something that makes them more money at the expense of their customers they could start doing the same thing to their own customers and profits increase for everyone without risking prices being driven down by a truly competitive market. The insurance industry in particular is has a long history of shady practices from good old fashioned collusion and price fixing to new techniques like data mining to charge customers different rates depending on where they live, what jobs they have, or how often they're willing to change insurance companies.
Fair enough. I'd guess on average 500-800 hours spent actually studying and writing code in CS-related topics & math.
WSL 2 itself uses a hypervisor though, so this is sort of a moot point.
> Every field of economics agrees that rent control causes harm to the people it's supposed to help.

Is that for rent control as in New York or San Francisco, where the allowed rent increases are very small; or for rent control as in San Jose (8% until reduced to 5% in 2016) or Oregon, or maybe this bill, where the allowed rent increase is larger than most of market increases?

A limit of 5% + inflation is probably more than most markets in most years, and more importantly, is a big enough limit that most leases will be able to catch up to the market over a few years.

So, this would still distort the rental market, but in a much more limited way, that may be more likely to actually help people.
Either that, or people will go back to driving and using public transportation more and the drivers will leave the labor market.
Well it seems promising but nothing can be said until they can determine if this drug can actually be used safely for humans. But maybe the same issue will occur again where a resistance is built up to the drug from improper use and it'll become another battle to find the next malaria drug.
I think Henry George's Land Value Tax is a great solution that can really help us avoid a situation similar to what occurred during Mao Tse Tsungs revolution.
Downward movement isn't irreversible, it's rate of reverse is capped. And the rate limit is pegged to inflation. And roughly equivalent with expected average stock market returns [1].

Why would I order with my voice by yelling at a microphone outside my window? How stupid is that?

Obviously I order on my smartphone and a creepy robot hand extends the bag to me as I drive by. The UWB radio in my phone will let them know which car is mine.

Most of the time I’m ordering the same thing for my family of 4 (not at McDonalds, but you get the point) and so two taps later everything is ordered and paid for. This takes like 2.5 seconds from the time the app is launched.

I’m not going to, like, recite out loud the 7 different modifications I made between the sandwiches, toppings, drinks, and sides every time I want something to eat. That would be barbaric.

Next thing you’re going to tell me is I’m supposed to hand a thin plastic rectangular device to a human so they can stick it in some other device just to process my payment!
Newbie to rust, but surely there must be a way to disable bounds checking in rust, right?? Like C++ std::vector has operator() (bounds checked) and operator[] (pointer dereference, unsafe), or other languages have get/unsafe_get (ocaml), surely rust has a way to disable bounds checking as well (or disables it for optimised builds)
So are all American carriers (ILEC/CLEC/SIP Providers) available or do potential customers have to do service availability checks?

Isn't that the exact opposite of what the article says? The article is pretty clear that anonymity did not reduce his power at all, precisely for the reason you described.

It did suggest it might work if the recipient was not aware of who the money was from, but makes it clear that was not the case here.
>> But rent control in the absence of housing supply increases will undoubtedly exacerbate the problem

You can virtually guarantee that rent control and NIMBYism go hand in hand.
"The answer is still more housing to lower the overall price of housing." I am not arguing against that at all, but if we decide to go extreme SB50 style urbanize California we wouldn't see real price impacts for maybe 5 years at the earliest. What are we supposed to do between now and then, just accept 15% YoY rent increase?
JVM requires almost all your stack to be rewritten for it.

Because WebAssembly permits languages to be usable in the web, almost any other language (C, C++, Rust, Go and even Java) is now working to be compiled to WebAssembly.

Therefore you don’t need to adapt your stack to run it in Wasmer :)
Does it make sense to compare both Neptune and Jupiter to the Earth? I would think the relative numbers for each pair are a more useful comparison.

If Neptune is 57 times the volume of Earth and Jupiter is 1321 times the volume of Earth, then Jupiter is 23 times the volume of Neptune.

So the relative difference between Neptune and Jupiter is less than half the relative difference between Earth and Neptune.

As another illustration, let's take a different trio of objects: a golf ball, the Moon, and the Earth.

Using very round numbers, it is safe to say that the volume of the Moon is about one zillion golf balls.

The Earth is about 50 times the volume of the Moon, so the Earth is 50 zillion golf balls.

Clearly, the difference between 50 zillion and 1 zillion is much greater than the difference between 1 zillion and just 1 golf ball, by a factor of nearly 50.

Or is it? If you ask anyone on the street, they won't have to calculate anything, they will tell you that the Earth and Moon are much more similar in size than the Moon and a golf ball. That's because they are using relative sizes, not absolute.

I don't think we're using container system similarly. I'm using the term "Container" in the way Docker describes:

>A container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. A Docker container image is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings.[0]

If you cannot package system tooling, system libraries, and configuration with your software I don't think what you're building is a container system. If you also loose the sorcery benefits docker's network namespaces and volume drivers you're loosing a lot of functionality that docker provides.

I wouldn't call the JVM, RVM, V8/SpiderMonkey, cPython, and any other language VM a "container system" even though many of them allow you to set up platform isolation, restriction, and sandboxing.

I use "container" to reference a technology that allows me to build, package, ship, and orchestrate the execution of these units.

I think you could teach decent, but not stellar, CS in 9 months. Most of the crap I had to take in college was not related at all to CS, or only conditionally or infreqently related. Calc 2? Wonder when I'll need to pull that out again, probably never. Western Civ? Totally irrelevant, even if it was interesting and enjoyable and made me a "more well rounded" student. There's a lot of fat to cut out of traditional CS programs at traditional colleges.
Because if I need someone to mow my lawn why do I need to support their entire way of life. Not all work is equal and not all work is worth that much. What you're espousing is participation trophy logic.
Probably too late to edit the above comment, so I'll add a comment.

Since I don't need to/intend to use the solid mass of the beans (that would require cooking it), this recipe worked. I blended the beans, strained the liquid and boiled that and I've got two blocks of tofu in the fridge. It's extremely gratifying to have my tofu making simplified like this.
