Won't this slow down gentrification of a neighborhood? There's neighborhoods in most cities that 10 years ago were 'the bad neighborhood' that have become walkable and popular again.

It's hardly unfeasible for the bid area to have a rent of <$500, but after gentrification could easily pull $1500. At a 5% cap a year, it would take considerably longer to reach this price, which will likely slowly down the conversion of these areas, as the demographics would change much more slowly.
So this just links to someone's opinion on Python 2 vs 3 instead of an actual discussion on the drawbacks of Python, right?

I just returned from a three week RV trip to some of the national parks out west, including Death Valley. Two of the things I noticed were (1) Europeans outnumbered Americans in the RV parks and (2) Europeans seemed far more inclined to break the national park rules. At one point we were in a guided jeep tour in Canyonlands which is some seriously treacherous driving on cliffside switchbacks. An Escalade sped by us at one point and we were all like WTF these people are insane...it's a cliff!! We caught up to them at an overlook (the Thelma and Louise Overlook) and our guide got out to scold them. He came back and was like, "No surprise, they're Italian." He went on to explain that 90% of the issues they see with people acting recklessly were Europeans who didn't seem to comprehend how dangerous these places can be.

Not really, I’ve been looking for work for about three months after my team at a FANG was let go due to a legal fuck up by my boss.

I’ve been leetcoding but have only passed 3/7 tech screens only to be ghosted for the on-site after a pass or passed up after the on-site.

Starting to question if I was ever creative or really good at this profession - but don’t think I’m skilled enough or have the energy to do my own startup.

I have 2yrs experience, but scared my prior work history will make it look like I jump jobs or can’t hold a job down.

Fortunately, my health and mental health are in check and I have a place to live in the US that’s relatively cheap.

This is not pure rain water that he collects. It is collected from obviously contaminated sources and all those creatures actually come from the soil, not the rain. Let some tap water (that is guaranteed to have no life in it) sit in a jar for a few days to get rid of chlorine, and then add a little potting soil or some dirt and leaf litter in it and soon you'll have tones of algae, planaria, nematodes and protozoa swimming around. With rain water usually it's the same, it normally contains only very little sand and dirt and perhaps a few bacteria that it picked up in the air here and there, nothing else.
The main drawback of python for me, compared to NodeJS is the whole sharing projects onto different machines with virtualenv or whatever. package.json and node_modules just works by default in so much cleaner a way. You can use npm or yarn or just a zip of the node_modules to share the environment with a colleague or to deploy.
> this need people have to jam in with 100,000 other people just to see some famous building. Maybe that's just me.

I was fortunate enough to spend a gap year traveling around the world, and one of the lessons I learned quickly was that I have little interest in "iconic" destinations. I can distinctly remember when I made this realization: I was in Oia Santorini at sunset, which I had decided to go to because I had seen amazing photos of this secluded town on a cliffside overlooking the sun go down over the Aegean. But while the view was beautiful, the reality of that moment was a thousand other tourists elbowing their way to a good vantage point to take the same picture which had been taken a million times before. There was even a newly married couple who was standing there dejected: they had apparently gone to that point to take wedding photos, but discovered it would obviously be impossible.

I still like to travel, but please keep me miles away from anything famous.

This, it feels very weird to me seeing people advocate for basically only allowing the super rich to travel. To a lot of people, travelling abroad isn't just about getting drunk at foreign clubs and leaving trash everywhere, but about experiencing other cultures and having your world-view widened beyond what you see every day. I think most people would argue these things are good, not just for the individual but for society?

In the book by Arthur C Clarke Rendezvous with Rama the eponymous Ramans designed their interstellar craft with triple redundancy. Everything is built in threes - 3 airlocks, for example.

The line I quoted is the very last line in the book, and is equal parts fascinating and chilling, a very apt end for a great book.

I highly recommend you read it. If you are in the USA and have a library card, may I suggest the Libby app for Android and iPhone? Or of course buying it second hand from online bookstores is also an option: looks like a new paperback is about $4.55 at smile.amazon.com, used is about 1 to 3 dollars, Kindle version is $7.59. I don't recommend the other books in the series, they don't live up to the original, in my opinion.

A similar book is Eon by Greg Bear, although less pure sci-fi exploration and more sci-fi adventure.
I wanted this article to convince me, but they really don't acknowledge the reason that everyone currently uses Python - the libraries. Do linear algebra using lightly wrapped C? numpy. What about NLP? spaCy. Implicitly specify a computation graph with high level code? PyTorch. Explicitly specify a computation graph using leaky C++ abstractions? TensorFlow. And using either PyTorch or TensorFlow, you get to interact with CUDA.

For now, if you want a functional language for doing deep learning, IMO that language needs Python interoperability. Long-term, I'm hopeful that GraalVM [0] can provide a way of calling Python from the JVM, but until then, I think the best option is coconut-lang [1], "a functional programming language that compiles to Python." You get pattern-matching, TCO, the pipe operator, and ADTs, all while being one AOT compilation step away from Python.

It's not just a matter of "oops we touristed our city", global wealth has skyrocketed in the last few decades, with a skewed distribution that vastly increased the number of people that can afford to travel.

Cognitive dissonance at work. I really want to take the money, so I will come up with all sorts of rationalizations, and subconsciously I will adopt those beliefs strongly, because the alternative is not being able to face myself in the mirror.
I did that two years ago when flying from Los Angeles . Not to save money but travel plans had changed so it was better to get off in Amsterdam instead of continuing to London. It took a lot of convincing to get the airline to stop the bags in Amsterdam. Finally they did it but we got a stern warning to never do this again. Not sure if there would have been a ban but they really really really didn’t like it.
I buy booster packs for MTG because I like drafting and sealed deck events. Randomness here is a good thing because it makes gameplay more skill based than money based when compared to constructed decks (build from your collection).

If I want a specific card, I'm not going to gamble with boosters, I'll just buy the card outright at the store.

And that's the primary reason I stopped playing online games like MTGA and Eternal: playing draft was too expensive and not as fun as playing in person. A lot of people online would "rare draft" instead of drafting to win, and the social aspect is completely missing compared to FNM. I think that's because you can't trade cards online, so your options are: pull the cards you want or use craft them, and rare drafting improves your ability to do both.

I'm not very happy about the direction online gaming is going, so I'll have to be very careful about how I introduce my children to the concept to help them see it for what it is.

I highly recommend “The Israel Lobby” by John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UZQIF6/

“They describe the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. Mearsheimer and Walt provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East—in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America's national interest nor Israel's long-term interest. The lobby's influence also affects America's relationship with important allies and increases dangers that all states face from global jihadist terror.”

As a general rule, having an interceptor already in an orbit is slower than launching a new one. If the target is coming in on a random orbit, the interceptor floating off in space is in no better a position, on average, than earth. So it is generally more efficient to launch from earth into a more targeted orbit than redirect a craft already in a less-than-ideal position.

That said, having dozens or hundreds of probes in random orbits would be advantageous, but still much more costly.

France population is 67 million and life expectancy is 82 years, so about 2000 people die every day.

You can't intercept an interstellar object from a loitering orbit around the sun, with something that has basically zero delta-v (in terms of this context) onboard. The loitering orbit, by necessity, has a fairly tightly constrained velocity vector, and the interstellar object, by virtue of having escape velocity from our sun, must have a much higher velocity vector by a certain large number of kilometers per second at a minimum, basically unbounded on the upper end.

By the time you have something like a nuclear rocket in space that has the requisite delta-v, there becomes no particular reason to station it around the sun, since you can get to the right vectors from anywhere in the system.

I really dislike the fact that I’d have to save for decades just to afford a decent house in California.

The land isn’t doing anything just sitting there. I am totally fine with clearing it out so people can actually afford houses.
I'm not sure what insurance is going to accomplish here. Tenants could negotiate it in the contract, but most people are not lawyers who will understand and negotiate the finer details on a contract.

The law is not automatically the best fix for all kinds of bad behaviour, and in many cases it clearly isn't, but I think this is one of those cases where it really is. Dramatically raising rent prices on someone who is already living there, is taking of a situation where the other party cannot simply refuse the offer, because moving every year gets really expensive quick. With many other kind of subscriptions, if the vendor suddenly doubles the price, they're easy to cancel. But not when it's the place where you live. It's taking advantage of a kind of vendor lock-in. A kind of monopolistic abuse.

And it's exactly the kind of thing that many countries do try to protect tenants from.

And no, the problem here is not pent up demand for building. That would be a likely cause when it's the initial rent for a new tenant that's too high. That's a sign there are simply not enough houses and too many potential tenants. But when the initial price is low, the landlord clearly does want to rent it to you. And when they then dramatically raise the rent, they're taking advantage of the power they have over your living situation. Preventing that by law is entirely reasonable.

Europe needs to get into the culture of air conditioning, cooling centers, and LARGE iced drinks.
Rent controlled places are great for the person living there. But, they’re bad for the supply of housing, which compounds the need for rent controls in the first place.

I live in a city where there are more residential properties than families. Prices are a tiny fraction of what y’all on the coasts cite. Apartments under $1000/month in trendy neighborhoods is common here. I’ve rented small apartments here for $500/month.

Rent controls may slow price increases, but encouraging supply decreases price. You can’t fix the problem until you treat the root cause rather than the symptom.
Very expensive. When you leave a lot of major metro areas, housing costs way less. There are 3+ BR homes on ½ acre of land (approx half an American football field or half a soccer pitch) in the South roughly 15 minutes from downtown areas for $125k - $175k USD. The cost of living in areas like SF and NYC are very high compared to the rest of the country. Housing is a major part of that cost of living hike.

There probably is some feedback curve. The higher housing prices do raise labor even of "commodity" low end jobs but there is an important third variable without salary and housing would both collapse - does the employer get anything out of the expensive location which justifies setting up there instead of some place cheaper?

That something can take many forms from access to customers, the "prestige" of an area being an effective requisite where those who don't pay the expense are judged as second tier regardless if it is true or not, or simply that the location is a literal prerequisite like minerals in the area for an extractive industry. Let any relevant to the instance specific quality or quantity over others be termed "edge" as it is about relative difference mostly.

For a concrete example it would be Lewis Carrollian madness to set up a gold mine the next town over without any precious metals because the no matter how much the land and wages are cheaper for the mine towns have the infinite edge for gold mining over one with literally none.

Establishing a mine in the third world with lesser deposits to get half of the gold per mine for a tenth of the wage and real estate costs would still win in spite of the weaker gold veins.

In thie case locally biggest threat to wages and housing price value other than literal anhilation would be the loss of an edge to justify it. The edge in this case is fuzzier, partially the prestige and partially the talent of "performers" measured in outcomes. Those are also in somewhat circular feedback loops. The prestige attracts the performers and the success of the performers maintains the prestiege. A slip in performance will cause eventual collapse of prestige if they fail to justify their expense. Damage to prestige may limit income of new talent or lead to an exodus.

I live in Texas. The heat wave that France is experienced this summer is like maybe 1 or 2 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than a normal summer for us.

Preparedness for summer is deeply ingrained in everyone's minds here. Many Apartment complexes treat issues with AC units as emergency situations, reach out to on-call handymen and give high priority to their fix.

In the city of Dallas, city code requires that property owners provide refrigerated air to tenants from April 1 to Nov. 1.

"According to state law, landlords must fix any condition that threatens a tenant's health or safety. In Texas, that condition can include a sweltering day in a stuffy apartment with no air conditioning."

It is my hope that people in France look for ways to prepare and better safeguard the health and well-being of their citizens against the heat.
