SF calls them ADUs(auxiliary dwelling units) and incentivized people to build them.

A lot of people don’t want to because once you’ve rented it out, the tenant can never be kicked out unless they break the law.

Is that really the bar we should be using? My interests don't align with the corner store small business owner who sells bread in a small rural town, should I be okay with terminating her business too?
Can someone explain how rent control works? It seems like it only benefits long-lived tenants. In the Bay Area, every apartment I’ve signed with advertises a “1 month off” deal or some equivalent. That guarantees them the option of at least a 9% increase in rent the second year.

How much of a refund did they ask for, and how much did they get?

Before that stay (I'm the OP's roommate), we stayed at another apartment that had 0.5Mbps Internet instead of the claimed 10Mbps, no hot water, no computer desks when there were desks in the photos, no trash cans - for the first 3 to 5 days until all these issues got fixed through us bugging the building's management. All Airbnb was willing to refund was 10% of the nightly cost, times some number of nights, which amounted to USD 57. That was for a $2100/mo apartment.
IRC is a social media platform. The fact that it predates Github by two decades doesn’t mean it’s not social media. I don’t know know what you’re actually opposed to. A blanket disapproval of “social media” isn’t particularly meaningful, so there’s nothing of substance in your complaint to respond to.

I have no idea why you think browsers are a tool to facilitate surveillance to a greater extent than dedicated clients. If a nation state or corporation can compromise your browser, they can realistically compromise your entire OS.
I think it's reasonable to spend ~$11/person/day if you're mostly not cooking, and not economizing, based on firsthand experience. I mean, I understand that you can do math like "fast food meal costs $13, multiplied by 3, equals $39/person/day". But it just doesn't seem to work out like that, so something in your estimating logic is way off.

People's memories and estimates are often unreliable, but if you use one credit card for everything and it tallies your spending on restaurants, that's pretty definitive.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to contribute to the conversation. Regulations make it simply impossible for housing supply to keep up with demand in California (and lots of other places too). This point in particular is not even contentious as far as I can tell. If you want to fix the problem, the only way to do it is to relax zoning and permit regulations. Trying to fix over-regulation with more regulation will only ever make things less efficient, requiring even more regulations, ad infinitum. This has been California’s long standing policy, and not only has this never solved the problem, it’s never even been able to stop it from endlessly getting worse.
No. The Airbnb rep said EXACTLY that, as seen in the screenshot.

So the author is wrong in his conclusion? I am happy to know the correct answer.
Alright, that makes sense. But can we all agree that it's a problem?

When I said there needs to be some level of control (and apparently nobody agrees), I was referring to something like the taxes put in place by local governments against foreigners buying up property, keeping it unoccupied thus creating scarcity and driving prices up.

In this particular case, the local government practically gave away building permits, changed codes, the whole town was at the developer's feet (roads closed, free traffic enforcement, less green space, redesigned roads to deal with the forecasted traffic, etc..) under the promise of building plenty of 'affordable housing'.

But when after you build it (tons of this crap https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-02-13/why-ameri...) you raise the rent for no reason and practically drive people away (I'm not saying it's gentrification, I'm saying it's well-off young professionals who are now choosing to move to a different city), the local market stops being competitive, you sit around with empty apartments, somebody went wrong somewhere. All new developments are under the ownership of two or three giant entities which have a vested interest of keeping prices very high as opposed to competing among themselves. The management companies who own these also made sure to buy a lot of the existing (crappy) apartment buildings.

The argument I was trying to make is that more housing does not necessarily solve the rent price problem, especially if the new housing is governed by a handful of large corporations. And that is usually the case.
Is it? As I remember, real prices only started climbing sometime after 2000.
The market is simply a tool. It's not infallible. It is a very powerful framework, and enables amazing things. However, left unchecked, it will also create undesirable outcomes or side effects. Negative externalities are a real thing.

In this specific case, perhaps you are right, I can't say.

But your wide-sweeping declarations and general tone reveal your own harmful ignorance.
This answer is spot on. User base is always more important than code base. ROI is what business people care about and code quality doesn't matter as much as does it work as advertised. Also there are always those coders who'd work on building a 2.0 for said project at a decent rate because they need the paycheck.

That would be part of handling anonymous donations sensibly. The transaction should be between the development office and whatever trustee or foundation gives the gift. The ultimate beneficiary shouldn’t be notified of the donation until, say, the end of the fiscal year, at which point all anonymous donations are aggregated.

The purpose of this is to stop the current giant disaster of 1000+ people a day dying from malaria.

RefCell has an internal semaphore. It's used specifically for multi threaded scenarios.

If someone is writing a multi threaded C app, they will likely be using semaphores as well. At least, they should be. Rust just enforces it.

So, I wouldn't say rust is "slower" in the regard.
Don't bad-mouth your previous employer, but you can put things diplomatically. For example you can say "it was a very challenging work environment" instead of "my boss sucked."

Also be prepared to talk about everything you learned and what you could have done better yourself. It seems like you have a good idea with hindsight about a lot of things that didn't seem right at the time.

But as noted by others, employers understand that there are toxic work environments out there. Be honest but don't belabor the point.

Setting up a Matrix server is a lot harder than you might think, especially when you start talking about federation and identity management.

The mxisd[1] project has recently disbanded due to what I believe to be philosophical differences with the Matrix maintainers vision of identity management.

I like a lot of things about Riot/Synapse, but I would suggest you try setting up your own Matrix server if you haven't yet. It's not what I would call highly usable.

Mind you, I have only tried setting up the reference implementation (Synapse/Riot). I would be interested in seeing a write-up/comparison done by Mozilla as part of these trials.

I don't agree. We know that people are not 'rational actors' that maximize personal profit at every turn, and we should not base our economics around that known false idea.

I think it is wise to produce better models with new information - not to ignore everything or to knowingly use false models. People do not - and should not - act according to those 'rational' ideas of maximum profit.
Mmm, very clever.
I think you know exactly what I'm referring to and are trying to drag the conversation into the weeds of vocabulary pedantry. I am of course talking about internet companies who turn user data into an asset. The facebooks, twitters, linkedins (same owner as github) etc of the world. You know that's what I'm talking about. Freenode is a far cry from facebook.

>I have no idea why you think browsers are a tool to facilitate surveillance to a greater extent than dedicated clients.

Because that's simply factually the case? IRC networks do not give my IRC client proprietary tracking scripts to run. With an IRC client if any third party code execution occurs, it's due to an exploit in the client. On the other hand with web browsers, servers sending malicious scripts for the browser to run is par for the course.

Typical modern web browsers (even Mozilla's own) are total disasters, particularly in their default configuration. Why the hell aren't they shipping with resist-fingerprinting turned on by default? Because it would mildly inconvenience some users, and despite all their good intentions and positive words, they still prioritize user perception of convenience over privacy.

About land value, of course that is what one would assume, and what is often claimed.

I thought the cost of living in Manhattan or other similar places was so high because people do other things than live there that are highly valuable. Which might be nature's way of telling you "don't live there".

California building code is really not that different from anywhere else in the US, since almost all states base their code off the IBC. it costs a little more to build in a seismic zone or a high fire risk zone, but that is inevitable. The code does help keep people alive and healthy, and protect against more costly damage than otherwise in case of natural disasters.

In California, 25% of a new SFR is land. Another 25% easy goes to permits and municipal utility connections. 40% construction costs (including paying the boss a salary), and if you are lucky, 10% profit. Simply reducing permitting costs and streamlining the process to reduce holding costs (without even easing restrictions, just being more efficient/faster at the municipal level) could shave 20% off a new home price. That would drive down all home prices to some extent and open up a large number of people to get out of the renters pool.

So CA government is the major player to blame for housing costs, and these laws are in place of just doing their jobs well. This might drive prices down too, eventually, but not nearly as quickly or fairly as bureaucratic reform would.
Die? No, but it is slowly degrading. More and more the people in my old freenode chatrooms are idle or simply leaving. We've gotten so used to phone notifications and a persistent history, that IRC has fallen behind purely from a convenience factor.

It's rock solid in what it does, I have zero doubt about that or your 15 year claim. But even if the protocol works, if the user base isn't being added to it will die eventually.
Nope. Because then you could donate the price of two books, and not buy one!

I had no idea this was going to be the default. It's massively wrong. I use a Pihole DNS server, which means after a lot of debugging I'd have discovered Firefox had unilaterally decided to stop abiding by internet protocols. It's always one step forward and two back with these Moz guys. I guess that's better than every step back like Chrome, but jeez Moz, get a clue.
As I said above, they don't even need to ease the regulations, just work faster for permit approval and charge less for them, and the problem could largely sort itself out.
That's not really true except perhaps on the shallowest level. There's a lot of environmental issues, pre-1914 water rights, short-term climate issues like ENSO and MJO, and crop choices that have caused California to experience water shortages. Maybe in some cases we can put crops under solar panels to save water[0], or reclaim more water through toilet-to-tap programs. You know, through infrastructure.

Reductionist statements like yours never really reflect any real-world policy environment. The real world is messy and complicated.

As long as demand for housing continues to outstrip supply, especially if demand continues to grow at a rate exceeding the growth in supply, then there will always be money to be made in housing.

This law in California allows for 5% annual increases after inflation. It’s hard to see how this will even hurt landlords. Creating a pretty clear incentive to perform a maximum increase ever year doesn’t seem great for renters though.

Apple's strategy is holding on to the brand, while competitors slowly chip away at their market share, awaiting a mortal blow to their entire hardware-centric business strategy from cloud-first computing.

Once most business software has a cloud equivalent that can run via an internet connection (Google is already trying to roll this out for gaming, wrong direction of course), Windows and Mac are finished.

Once Windows and Mac are finished, it'll only be a matter of coming up with a new phone os that can run on 50-100$ devices (or android, yuck) and then Apple is really finished.

Who's going to spend 2k on a macbook, 1k on an iPhone and 500$ on a watch, when you can have a 200$ computer, 100$ phone and 50$ watch that do nearly the same thing. Oh, and a 200$ point-and-shoot camera that'll forever beat any phone-camera due to camera size limitations inherent to phones. In fact I predict the next big consumer hit will be a point-and-shoot camera with a phone os.

Microsoft knows this, Google knows it too - they're building out planet-wide infrastructure for cloud-first computing that's coming. Apple is jerking around with 0 progress on all of its platforms, milking brand loyalty, producing pretty, severely over-priced trinkets (awful battery life, awful keyboards, awful screen burn-in, insane ssd prices, awful ports requiring insanely over-priced adapters) to signal allegiance to a middle-class or up caste, and making their shareholders short-term rich, while long-term poor.
Nothing I do in my ordinary routine full-time engineering work for the past decade has required or does require anything outside the ASCII character set or, alternatively, plain bytes. The use cases my users present to me does not include emoji or non-ASCII characters. If those arise, naturally, one would select tools to address those needs. I don't know the future. In a year or two, my routine work may, of course, change.
The citizens of San Francisco have basically given the landlords a monopoly but not approving higher density zoning.

Only 43% of SF residents are homeowners, and many fewer are landlords, yet it is very rare for rezoning or higher density legislation to get passed. There are plenty of developers that want to develop in SF and create some competition for the existing landlords, forcing everyone to offer better services. Instead, we get laws like statewide rent control which reduce the potential long term value of new development, further reducing both supply and competition.

Companies capture external value all the time, that isn't the core problem. Improved infrastructure and more wealth in a city would normally attract more competition reducing the total amount of that value that each landlord could capture.
It could be argued that using the best available implementation for each is the more fair comparison.

To push in a different direction, there isn't enough water for more people while keeping the amount and types of agriculture in California constant. Prioritize residential water use over agricultural rather than aggressively doing the reverse, and you'd probably see improvement.

Deregulate doesn't work when people won't sell. What do you do when highly wealthy people buy property and then never sell? You can't simply slash all of the regulations because regulations aren't the reason why they're not selling.

In fact, they're not selling because of market dynamics. Their property is becoming more valuable over time because no one else is selling, which means any property that does sell does so at an extreme premium.
