As a counter point, the Toyota ECU in those Camry's occasionally accelerated uncontrollably had asserts and what not. When they fired the system rebooted. From memory it took about a second to boot, so usually the driver didn't notice. Apparently it did that on a regular basis as it was overloaded, and sometimes it failed to meet deadlines.

The acceleration problem was caused by noise flipping bits in the RAM the operating systems used to store state data. (The Toyota code was most immune to this because they duplicated their state by storing it in two different places, always compared on read and if it was different rebooted. But the OS was provided the the chip manufacturer, NEC which was a black box to Toyota - and it wasn't as conservative.) On rare occasions a bit flip would take out the watch dog process and the cruise control just after it decided to accelerate, and occasionally if that happened everyone in the vehicle died.

Toyota blamed the deaths all sorts of things for a while - the driver, the carpet, third party accelerator pedals. Which to my mind was fair enough. They like everybody else had no idea what was causing it, but they knew their monitor / reboot if out of spec kludge worked very well so it was unlikely to be the ECU.
I still don't understand this. Most people are motivated by a lot more than the desire to pay less rent. Jobs change, people move, they go upward in their careers, etc.

Is there any evidence to suggest that rent prices are actually "strong incentives" to not move? I think this isn't true.

I think people are much more motivated by their social circles, their job prospects, upward social mobility by working hard, or starting a business, etc. There are so many factors that go into choosing where to live that I find it difficult to believe that simple rent control like this would "strongly incentivize" people at large to not move. Especially in California.

Anecdotally, I have voluntarily left 5+ rent-controlled apartments without even a thought to them being rent controlled and my next place being unknown. It simply has not mattered, because the amount saved by rent is often far less important than the other aspects of life.
That stil doesn't explain why the keynote was so boring. For the first time, I had had enough and closed it and walked away. Usually, Apple's iPhone announcements are pretty exciting. This time around, even the presentation itself felt like a giant corporate presentation sprinkled with keywords like "innovation" to make me believe they were innovating. There was nothing innovative about the keynote. The iPhone is a laggard at this point and there are far superior offerings at this point.

A few years ago, I wouldn't have said the same and would have even ridiculed if someone claimed Android phones were better, but after playing with an S10+, iPhones really don't impress me anymore.

"But it offers more privacy?" Nope. Didn't you read about the part where all your personal siri recordings were played out by contractors? Including sex acts and arm deals? What happens on your iPhone does NOT stay on your iPhone because it's proprietary software. Duh.

I'm done with Apple. But I'm also looking for something beyond Android at this point. Wish there was a truly 100% open source phone I could trust.

> Yet we're not going to see a big raise because we switch over to a single payer system.

Californian legislators released a study last year about the costs of moving to single-payer healthcare in the state. In total it would be $400 billion, requiring $200 billion in new tax revenues after accounting for the existing $200 billion in federal, state, and local expenditures. Diverting existing employer and individual premium payments would still leave anywhere from a $50 billion to $150 billion gap. California's existing budget is ~$200 billion, so covering that gap would require significant new taxes.

Anybody telling you that you can get single-payer for free is lying to you. That would only be possible if we could significantly reduce costs, but we don't know how to reduce costs. Any suggestion you've heard is almost certainly part of the ACA/Obamacare in some form or fashion, and the strategies aren't working as well as originally believed. But this was predicted. The ACA was always intended to be a process of experimenting with cost reducing strategies, which is why there were supposed to be panels that could rewrite the rules as new information came in. But nobody is interested in the hard work of figuring out what those solutions are; all the electorate on both sides is interested in voting for are feel-good solutions. And they'll believe whatever they need to believe in order to support their political tribe.

This comment doesn't make sense to me (as a part time Uber driver myself).

First, the driver doesn't see your destination until he picks you up.

Second, there is no competition or reason to rush to "mash" the button, the ride request is exclusive to you as a driver for the 10 seconds that you see it.

It doesn't "cheat"; the semantics of the C standard library are just as much a part of the language as the rest.

And GCC at least (don't know about the others, not that this isn't true for them) has done this for decades at this point as well.

Edit: Before that point, the targets that C tended focus on preferred these operations being in functions anyway.

there are unsafe method for vec that allow you unchecked access to the array, but you need to to write it in unsafe block (some code that is performance sensitive does this).
Yes, agreed, there are bad stations in Manhattan too, but the nicest ones are in Manhattan, especially on the new Upper East Side extension and 7 line.

I've overly simplified why American cities are the way they are. It's not just racial issues, but general lack of public funding, political reasons, etc. Having said that, places like London and Tokyo don't have the same overt racial issues as NYC. I often see homeless people and panhandlers in the subway who are down on their luck, often with psychological problems. They are frequently non-white and it's sad that the city isn't taking care of them. I don't see that in large international cities in other developed countries to the same extent. In London, for example, I rarely see non-white people in such dire circumstances in public areas compared to NYC.

My general point is that cities like London, Sydney and Tokyo are cleaner, nicer and have better public services. Personally, I would feel more comfortable raising a family in those cities rather than a U.S. city. In the U.S. with a family I think it's better to raise a family in the suburbs, but that's my personal preference.
Indeed, RAII is a zero-cost abstraction compared to running the same destructors manually. On the other hand, C++ makes it really easy to write programs that copy and destroy things when it isn't necessary.

For example, if a function takes a `std::string` as an argument (by value), any string you pass in will be copied into a new allocation, which will then have to be deallocated. That's fine if the function really needs its own allocation – but it might not. In that case you can avoid the copy by changing the argument type to `const std::string &` or `std::string_view` (the latter being new in C++17)... but the difference is subtle enough that even an experienced programmer might not notice the extraneous copy.

Don't believe me? Consider that in 2014, "std::string was responsible for almost half of all allocations in the Chrome browser process"! [1]

(Rust does a better job here by requiring more explicitness if you want to make expensive copies.)

Oh, there's also an issue where the presence of a destructor pessimizes the calling convention for passing and returning objects of that type by value, but only slightly, and the issue will be addressed in the future. [2]

As someone on Team C#, I bet my career on it after careful consideration and comparison with every other option I had on the table, I had the exact same thought. But it's Microsoft, in my opinion they know software better than anyone around. They cover a lot of ground and fail sometimes but overall I consistently have high expectations from them. I use their platform everyday. Good work, Microsoft!
Lots of interesting operating considerations.

A few thoughts, having worked in "Quick Service Restaurants" a long long time ago.

Ignoring cost of human labor and a move to equipment maintenance for a moment, one of the key metrics tracked is waste/loss, i.e. from the bins in the kitchen. Amounts of discarded buns, lettuce, tomatoes, burnt or spoiled, past due-date, serve-time etc. it all gets tallied and recorded.

If you get sent one box of frozen fries weighing a known amount, that should translate into (x) number of servings +- a fairly narrow distribution curve. If you go through 10 boxes but only sold 9(x) servings then maybe your staff are overfilling, dropping, burning or eating the fries. Either way, they are losing you cash. The cash at the tail end of your otherwise carefully controlled supply chain.

Anything that cost effectively eliminates waste will be next.
Buying the resources what we need cannot be always the best option. The price may be too expensive or we may not get the product as expected in the given price. So we have to go for the alternatives. There are many websites which provide free web design resources. Why do we even need to pay for the services while we can comprise the services freely. You may be wondering if it is possible? The simple answer is NO. I am not saying the same resource but there’s always a alternative.

> They just profit from owning something other people do work and build on top of.

The same way people who own shares in a company that pays dividends profit from work other people do. Those landlords either built the apartment buildings themselves, or spent the capital investment to buy the building from a previous owner.

(to your comment below, HN isn't letting me respond)

So in the end, this isn't about the business model of landlords this is about fundamentally different views on the legitimacy of private property. That's a topic much broader than rent and real estate.
It wouldn't need to be halfway. At 3gs acceleration, it would take about 115 days to accelerate up to the speed of light. You'd then travel ballistically for the majority of the journey before having to decelerate for another 115 days.

Given the total journey would be ~40,000 days the 230 days of acceleration probably isn't going to impact things too much. Even if you brought it back to 1g acceleration, it's still only around 700days out of 40,000.
This post makes an unfounded statement that fair phone is more env friendly because it is repairable. This might be true, and the opposite may be true: maybe fairphone is less env friendly because it breaks more often and requires a lot of spare parts. Maybe they produce more toxic waste during production of fairphone.
My point is that any social media platform is not an acceptable IRC requirement, nor is requiring a social media account an acceptable requirement for any IRC requirement.

Instead of controls like this, increase housing supply and let the market drive down rent and house prices. If they do that, maybe the renters won't have to rent anymore.

The landlord's would be much more afraid of this kind of market based solution.
The other thing to remember is that when rent is that high as a percent of median income it has a rippling effect on the cost of everything else.

Since I moved to Seattle I pay 1/2 as much for groceries, 1/4 as much for the gym, 2/3 as much to eat out. So in the end rent isn’t the only problem. All your costs add up. Add state income tax and the problem compounds further.
It's interesting that when Russia started blocking access to some popular websites a few years ago, the instructions for installation of VPN were found in all places. The case - then, for example, attempts to block Telegram servers lead to unexpected unblocking some forbidden sites, like kasparov.ru - shows how some networking skills can be grown en masse in a short period of time.

So, yes, average Internet user isn't very familiar with DNS. Maybe privacy wars will lead to growing awareness in this area though.

You're mis-understanding what "you don't pay for what you don't use" means. It means that a program that does not contain [] in it does not include code for []. There's no "mandatory runtime" code for []. It doesn't mean you can use [] in some special way and somehow get less code.

And even if we were talking about your understanding, I don't see why get_unchecked would be disqualified. unsafe is a part of the language for a reason.

What do you do as a browser vendor when the OS fails to provide you meaningful security and privacy? This is pretty much how we got here. Basically every device on the planet is right now configured to blindly accept whatever DNS server is handed to it by DHCP and there is really no movement on changing that.

So browsers can throw up their hands and say "we are as secure as the OS" or they can do it themselves. Not ideal but the alternative is worse for users.
UWB?
You'd also have to consider all the people that would be happy to rent out their in-law but decide not to because of rent control.

It’s illegal, period. The unit has to be the tenant’s primary residence. Obviously the litigation to prove this in an anti-landlord town like SF is messy and often not worthwhile.
In shrinking rural towns, sure. In cities like SF that have been adding only one unit of housing for every 5-6 new jobs, there's a very significant housing shortage.

Which is why rent control doesn't address the root causes of the housing problems, and in fact only makes things worse in the long run. It's just virtue signaling without regard to the results.
The rent control laws in NYC aren't even nearly as bad as SF, despite how much they get demonized here on HN.

In NYC units that might be _actually cheap_, as in rent controlled and not stabilized, number roughly 17k units _in total_. And only about 1/3 of those are significantly below market or in desirable neighborhoods. It's almost insignificant and the number of rent controlled units has gone down by roughly HALF in the last 5 years, because the tenants in them are dying and income limits on any descendants usually kick the units out of being controlled into stabilized.

NYC has a much larger number of rent stabilized units, which is somewhere near 1/3 of all available units that are renting at or below $2700 (twice the national average, btw). The overwhelming majority of these are within a few hundred dollars of market rate.

There are about 4.2M housing units in NYC with roughly 30k being added every year. The "cheap" rent-controlled units are a rounding error.

That is not anything like the situation folks in SF are rightfully railing against.

Has anyone done an analysis to see what fraction of the wealth generated by silicon valley ends up in the hands of people who happened to own land there? If normal houses cost millions of dollars, I could see it being a sizable fraction.

I think the pricing mechanism plays a useful role in encouraging people with valuable land to give it to others who will use it more productively. At the same time, I think there's a risk that people who just own land could capture an unreasonable fraction of the generated wealth.

Would it really be right for San Francisco homeowners to capture over 50% of the wealth from Silicon Valley's success?
