Why shouldn't every job supply a living wage? You realize what your proposing is a net societal negative, right?

If a person has X amount in their savings and their job is not a living wage, then by definition they are likely going to have to rely on their savings to make up the wage differences. This is kind of a bad thing for capitalistic-based societies because you need people to consume, and if you have a large amount of people unable to consume then that negatively impacts the free market.

It's also bad because it places stress on other parts of society. No healthcare means when you eventually get sick or injured the hospital has to take on those costs, which means people pay more while destroying the lives of said injured or sick person.

People will have to make up the wage differential somehow, which also means that underclass of workers is more easily exploitable and/or pushed into illegal behaviors in order to survive.
The entire point of the law is to prevent you from being able to make those larger adjustments, though.

How often do you replace tenants? And what's your occupancy rate? If you're in a situation where you can reliably raise rent 7% YoY indefinitely without decreasing your occupancy rate, then you were severely underpriced for the market (and you should probably fire that management company for pricing you that absurdly low). 7% YoY after inflation is a big increase that outstrips average wage increases.

If you aren't severely underpriced, then what's going to happen is that when you increase by 7%, the tenants will choose to end the lease because they can find something cheaper (or they emmigrate from the city because nothing is affordable), and you'll struggle to replace them with wealthier tenants willing to pay what you think is market price, so you'll have to lower rent to attract a tenant. Once you get to the point where your price is roughly in line with what the market will bear, you'll only be able to squeeze one or two years of rent increases out of a tenant before the non-monetary costs of moving are outweighed by the cheaper rent, so constantly trying for 7% YoY post inflation will just mean a decrease in your occupancy rate, both because you'll be replacing tenants more frequently and because finding new ones will take longer.
There was no HR.
This sounds a lot like gas lighting and isn’t healthy.
On screen confirmations should cut down on those issues.
I recently wrote a brainfuck compiler using Rust [0], but I targeted x86-64 asm directly. I implemented some very basic optimization (as you show at the bottom of your post), but I'd imagine llvm is able to take things much further. I'd be curious to see a performance comparison.

I think being honest about that can work, here. Anyone will understand that your former boss was not a good boss.
Does this require porting the number? If not how are you gaining control of the SMS in the SMS address database?
It's grim, what will happen to the ones who thought they had this all locked-up.

The use of otherwise forbidden topics is especially poignant. The secrets of ancient techniques are inadmissible practically everywhere, thanks to the disturbing involvement of so many sworn oaths against their best interests.

As a recipient of their methodology, I can say there's sadly no good results for them in the near future, since what they've been doing produces counter- effects which will both expose, identify them and their various exchanges, records, and put them under the exact same circumstances.
I have no idea how they're going to get past the 3rd part of Dynamex. Was it not encoded into AB5?

That’s how large corporations behave, but what the OP is voicing is a common sentiment for smaller investors or people doing landlording as a side gig or housing hack to financial independence.

If the market can support it, these laws guarantee the maximum increase. If the market cannot, well you are already at the top of the market aren’t you? So no benefit here.
No persistent presence, no true source-of-truth logging, bad authentiation - I mean, there's really nothing good about IRC unless you have a fetish for late '90s tech.
Hey, look at this guy over here who's never been accelerated to a relativistic velocity here! But in all seriousness, you don't need to know all the math behind how relativity works to have a general idea of its effects.
Yes, you make a good argument and that was one of the good arguments made to support the regulation that ties down the government.

However, when I see people being unable to afford medication or losing a significant amount of their wealth to afford medication, I start to have second thoughts.

It seems to me, that in a developed and advanced society, one ought to be able to live a quality and comfortable life

Drug prices in the U.S. are at a completely different level compared to any other developed nation.
Sounds like Sweden have fucked it up, not that public healthcare is a broken concept. You should try the British NHS. It's not perfect but it's pretty fucking good, and free.

The problem in Australia is right-wing ideologues chipping away at public health to enrich their donors in the private health "insurance" scam industry, subsidising it and forcing people into it when it provides almost no benefit.
Amazon Is a Logistical Disaster
I was under the impression that some rents can be increased during the lease. I do not think it is only a renewal event, by law.

> Rent control deters the creation of new housing.

I keep seeing this repeated but I don't understand. Why does rent control deter creation of new housing?

> This reduce in supply raises the price

But you've glossed over why supply is reduced. I don't see any reason that supply would be reduced with basic moderate rent control like this one.

Edit: I have tripped some wire (?) and am not allowed to post any more. In response to the comment below,

That seems to be Washington, not California. According to http://www.hrc-la.org/doc.asp?id=36 it seems to read that some leases allow rent increases mid-lease.
Ignoring the moral problems ...

Nitpicking: Virus are a bad choice. Most are highly specific and reuse a lot of the machinery of the cell they attack. It's much better to send a mix of bacteria and archaea (ask an specialist to get a good combination of strands that like to live in different conditions (hot/cold, oxygen/no-oxygen, ...)). Put them inside a shell to protect them from radiation and a good shell for landing/crashing (ask another specialist for this part too), perhaps like a multiheaded interplanetary missile with many a copy of your minizoo.

Probably anything you send has enough bacterias to have a chance, unless it's super clean an sterilized. They try not to send bacterias to Mars, but I think bacterias will win. They only need a single error to get a free trip.

I remember a joke that someone said that Eukaryotes is the method that Prokaryotes use to travel from planet to planet.
I agree that at this point rent control is a good option. Housing prices are going up so fast that rents need to go up too. The higher rents then give an incentive for house prices to go up. It becomes a cycle for both to increase.
But rent control by itself is not enough. The other leg of the solution is to increase housing via governmental incentives. Otherwise, rent control will make the situation worse since there is no incentive to increase housing.
Google Assistant gimped? How so?

You make it sound like google could just flip a switch and the assistant would magically work better. If it were that simple, why would they intentionally limit the platform?
Why Psychotherapy Works
Certainly it gets abused. People keep their apartments even though they're not living in them, because otherwise the rent would go up. I know someone who did that for 20 years with an apartment on Russian Hill. She would sublet the place for a year or two and then come back.
Good question! No, using Pigeon SMS does not require porting the number. We’ve partnered with upstream carriers to add sms while leaving the voice component intact.

One of the consequences of the theory of relativity is that there is no "absolute time". The atomic clock will perceive time just as you will–that is, slower than an inertial reference frame.
You hear that?
That's the sound of my home rising in value as supply to compete against it is reduced.
Very cool CA!
"If it was flying by slowly, it would get caught by the sun’s gravity and end up in a circular orbit around the sun. If the orbit was perfectly circular, it would have an eccentricity of 0."

An interstellar object cannot be flying by slowly enough to enter a circular orbit. If it were, it would already have been in a circular orbit. Trajectories can be extrapolated both into the future and into the past. It has enough momentum to escape the Solar System if and only if it came from outside the Solar System.

This assumes the only interaction is the gravitational pull between the Sun and the object. A close approach to Jupiter, for example, might slow an incoming object into an elliptical orbit, or speed a Solar System object into a hyperbolic escape trajectory.

At some point you have to stop saying IRC is not broken.

You keep justifying it. If it weren't broken, you wouldn't spend all that time justifying it.
Given how many drivers drive for both Lyft and Uber, I feel like that is not a particularly hard case to make, but IANAL
Yeah. That's a much better article. They're buying a company to work on it.

It sounds ridiculous on the surface, but I remember a Microsoft presentation from Build 2016 (ish ?) where the presenter was showing a natural language query product where they used food ordering as an example.

I thought it was super cool the way they trained it. The computer would guess everything it could and then a human would shuffle boxes of words around to fix mistakes / assign unknown variables. The coolest part was where they showed how they could teach the computer that "my crib" was slang for my home location.

It's one of those things where I figured it would be big deal and then I never heard about it again. I can't even remember what it was called.

In this case, I imagine they could do something similar. As long as the computer can do good enough speech to text, there can be a human in there somewhere fixing up the tough stuff.

I imagine it's a prelude to ordering directly from your phone as you're driving to pick up the food.
I guess the question is how low powered and small you want to go? Nerves seems to be flourishing.

The landlords that jack up rent more than 8% a year, at least in SF, are the commercial landlords of large apartment complexes like Avalon. At the very least this will stop the ones managing older complexes built 2004 and earlier from doing that anymore.

Sorry, to clarify... Are you saying that because we have public transit no one can own cars anymore?

The generous way to read the post above is an arrangement where property ownership can be both public and private - possibly where rental units are majority state owned and private ownership is more concentrated in actual residents.
This is a much better article and interview with the whistleblower:

Technical definitions used by economists are increasingly divorced from reality experienced by people. You don't see a lot of low wage single income families buying 3 bedroom houses anymore but economists will tell us how much richer we are.
HN: According to the simple laws of supply and demand, housing prices would go down if we just increased supply to meet demand.

Also HN: These rent controls are just going to make the housing problem in this state even worse.

I don't get it. If the situation were really as simple as the first statement implies, then if this particular law was really going to have a catastrophic effect on housing, that would just mean people would leave and demand would go down and prices would fall, right?

Is it possible that California's housing problems are maybe a little more complex than a few out-of-context pull-quotes from Wealth of Nations would suggest?
Being employed and having flexible working hours are not exclusive.
There are $60M dollars of lobbying being deployed by Uber and Lyft to precisely try to change what would be most likely to happen.

That amount of money can go a long way. Unfortunately.
> I thought it was about unused/wasted time/resources that could be shared (for some profit).

This is the fiction sold by AirBnB, Uber, etc. You just can’t grow forever (as these companies require) by “sharing.” Do you think investors would continue to happily light billions on fire if Uber didn’t have huge ambitions?

This is very similar to Etsy. Founded as a handmade marketplace until they realized not enough people make stuff by hand to keep growing. Now it’s just a mass-produced shit shop just like every other place.
This is only going to make the housing problem worse. They need to remove all the onerous zoning laws and restrictions of building taller buildings. It’s a supply problem.
You're thinking short-term. What are the odds the food service industry will employ humans to take mass-market food orders in 10 years?

Restaurant servers will still exist at the higher-end, much like chauffeurs do today. But most people won't be driving their cars and a human won't be taking burger orders or grilling the patty.
Length contraction is something outside observers would see; the people on the ship would see themselves as normal (and hence not be "squashed".)
The most tired narrative ever.
A corporation's illegal business practices don't become legal just because they're required to sustain its business model.

I don't think your post makes a strong statement to this effect, but it suggests it, and it's good to be clear on this point.

A few years ago, it would have been considered a given that the Internet’s ability to change society was a good thing. I don’t think people take that position as unequivocally as before.

So in judging Ito, you have “Hypes the Internet” vs “helps normalize the reputation a child rapist”

People get fired, I wouldn't worry too much. Figure out a narrative that sounds good and some positive references.
I think the point for this particular case, which you did allude to, is that there was nothing anonymous about the relationship. Everyone knew about it, some of them implicated directly in the actual court case (Minsky). This is more about a completely corrupt and toxic culture at Media Lab. It would have been more interesting to look deeper into Joi Ito for example and the posturing of several key players when exposed, than wax poetic about the blanket of anonymity.
Nonsense. Of course you can. You just have to sell it as a course rather then do the trading.
When I was interviewing for jobs in the Bay area I noticed entry level salaries (even at smaller shops) were in the range of 100-120k and rent was like 35-40% of your salary after taxes. Certainly higher than the recommended 30% but it's not that different from somewhere like LA or NYC, even Chicago and Miami aren't much cheaper.

Are my numbers just totally off?
I think your argument is contradicting itself at least partially because you say if an LL (landlord/landlady) was already getting market price, they’d price themselves out of the market so the 7% cap is more than enough... so in essence you’re saying the market will tell the LL not to raise the rent... which then means you’re relying on market forces... but you’re saying despite that you need a YoY cap... so something seems amiss...
It's not particularly surprising, but this is (probably) only the second such object we've actually seen, which makes it very interesting.

The first such object, ʻOumuamua, was both interesting (because it was the first one we saw) and surprising (because of its apparent odd shape as indicated by its observed light curve).
Conjugate Priors Basics
Opened the thread looking for this comment :)
These morons never learn. There's now a guarantee both of even bigger housing shortages and lack of maintenance with existing housing.
Go also has no way to catch memory allocation failure. Many things become easier when you can pretend memory is infinite, especially from a language design standpoint.

As C++ has been contemplating moving away from exceptions, they've effectively been forced to choose between concise language abstractions or strict memory management. They seem to be moving toward the former, which is to say C++ may soon begin to behave like Go, Perl, and other high-level languages--OOM will simply crash your application.
>I think it's interesting when smart people argue themselves into incredibly bad decisions that anyone could've warned them against

Ito was warned, multiple times. Why are you expending any energy searching for a justification?

What is motivating this search?
Public housing already exists in the United States. It has had at best mixed results. There has been more success with HOPE VI public housing that doesn't concentrate everyone receiving subsidized housing together but it has been criticized for having lesser density and availability than straight up housing projects restricted to the financially disadvantaged.
Here's the problem: Prop 13 amended the CA constitution to prevent the state from increasing assessed property value by more than 2% a year. Landlords recognize that the real value is actually increasing faster than 2% and so increase the rent at the actual market rate. Given living costs make up the single largest force controlling cost of living, including for tax payer funded workers: police, firefighters, teachers, etc this fundamentally resulted in a massive tax cut for landlords, and more importantly businesses (who unfortunately aren't impacted by this).

The increasing disparity between taxed value and real value results in all tax payers having to pay increased income tax, which is then directed largely to landlords who aren't contributing their fair share - their properties are benefiting from services that they aren't paying for.
A right to employment for those relying on Uber for income wouldn’t mean you or Uber would be prohibited of working like you are today.

My honest opinion is that after investing in AI and seeing it come up short time and again, over the next 10 years, businesses are going to run from anything that calls itself AI.

I think we are going to have another “AI” winter.
I believe release mode keeps bound checks. It's integer overflow checks it gets rid of.
Next they'll come for the cooks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKCVol2iWcc

There are ~487k fast food cooks employed at ~$22.6k average wages. That's more than an $11 billion annual incentive to bring robochefs to retail. And that's just fast food, just in the US.

Robo janitors may take a bit longer. Maybe they can design automated kitchens that work like jumbo dish washers. Seal, flood, heat, drain, reopen. The janitors could take the form of underwater scrubbing drones.

Put the kitchen in a shipping container that plugs into the restaurant. When it breaks swap it out for a refurbished one and haul it back to the repair center. With a self-driving truck.

Let customers watch their order being prepared on their phone, micromanaging the bot with special requests.
My phone lasts more than a day of typical use on a charge ("Standby time: Up to 10 days"). When I'm using my laptop for anything more than an hour, it's easy (and not inconvenient) to find an outlet and plug in.

For a watch, 18 hours might not even cover a full work day.
So, you're saying people shouldn't be able to own apartment buildings? That will really help housing in dense areas.
This is a question that I see hotly debated a lot in Elixir circles. BEAM and the Elixir toolset do have a lot of tools that overlap with Docker, so there's a lot of people that advocate for "not bothering" with Docker, while there's other people that are familiar with Docker (and perhaps not as familiar with BEAM) that will tend to use Docker. They both have more or less the same capability to deliver the same functionality.

IMO, in most use cases it makes sense to just use whichever you're more familiar with and will be more productive with. After all, that is the entire point of said tools...
Rent control decreases the supply of housing
I think you're intentionally misrepresenting the opposing viewpoint. If rent control artificially reduces the price of housing, more people will want to live in CA. Less houses will be built, as less profit is being made. Therefore, prices will be lower for those already housed, yet more people will be unable to purchase a home.

Of course the million dollar question is how many less units will be built if they're less profitable, and how many people will be enticed to move or stay in CA because of rent controls.
