I used to play a game Puzzle Pirates as a 12 year old, which had an in game currency that could be used to play poker. I easily put 200 hours into that.

And I would say I had a similar experience, you win some, you lose some, but it helps show that it's not just up and up. I haven't spent more than $50 in a casino in my entire life, and the gacha games I have played I haven't spent money outside of the starter packs.

Some people are gonna lose money gambling, with or without games with similar mechanics. I've never seen a study show that the two are in any way correlated. Just that kids are playing these games (with money they get from their parents, if they do spend money).
>The power imbalance in feudalism and the gig economy is clear.

I'd say capitalism, communism, socialism, mercantilism, and every economic system in history, when done at scale, usually end up with some people having far more power than others. If a power imbalance is as deep as the comparison goes, school is feudalism, dating with a significant age gap is feudalism, traffic stops are feudalism...everything is feudalism.

Nope. I hate my current job and am trying to pick up some new skills in my spare time so I can switch, but its very hard to come home from my 9-5 and feel motivated to study a new subject. Progress is extremely slow and often feels hopeless. Any time I'm not studying I feel paralyzed by the stress of knowing that I should be doing that instead, and yet I'm so far from being done that I get no reprieve if I actually do sit down and study.

I don't think this is a unique situation, I'm sure a lot of people on this site are in a similar boat. If you're reading this, I hope you find comfort in knowing it's not just you.

Rent control doesn't unequivocally help current renters. It also keeps them stuck in one place for a long time, even when it's not a great fit for them.

And pretty much every economist says rent control raises rents and lowers quality overall, hurting those trying to move in.
"blame-the-game-not-the-player" is so typical of polite SF (and greater CA). A lot of homeowners are quietly rubbing their hands knowing their houses suddenly got more valuable.

My experience with SF rent control is that it's really only valuable if you've got limited resources. I lived there for 5 years, saw market rent double, and my landlady politely asked me to pay a "generous discount from market", which was about a 50% increase and I declined - it would have busted my budget.

Then eviction proceedings started: completely made up, and I lawyered up. I was threatened with OMI (there's no defense if they actually do move in), and I negotiated a settlement. Because if I'd won I'd have a super hostile situation ending in OMI, and if I'd lost I'd have killed a substantial portion of my savings.

If I'd had nothing to lose, I'd have hung on for dear life.
Possible. Although I don’t really understand why it’s more work.
A lot of it is the uniqueness of the American west. I think that Europeans are infatuated with the John Wayne westerns and Louis L'Amour books and think of the parks as just more remote Disneylands where nothing can hurt you. I understand that it's a popular thing to visit DVNP in friggin' August when the temps reach 125 degrees or higher. And then, like the German family, go off to remote regions of the park unprepared and with no reasonable hope of rescue if something bad happens. There have been several books written about deaths that have occurred in the Parks, most of which happen because those involved did not respect nor understand the environment into which they were going.

I’m not quite sure about this. I think while python 3 has a tendency to blowup on IO, I still think that is preferable than more cryptic problems. Python 3 did seem to handicap working in bytes though, but I think that has improved in the last few versions with the path objects and str accessing Unicode text.
My favorite wild hypothesis about Oumuamua is that it was a spent deceleration stage from a multi-stage interstellar fusion rocket. Maybe another spent stage is headed our way. If it's at a lower velocity it would support that conjecture. Eventually the actual payload would arrive. :)
And then spend then next 400,000,000 cycles progressively switching from 40 year old 8086 real mode to the present, reading some newer firmware configuration tables from that same BIOS (which are often buggy), compensating for those bugs, etc.

That's still less than a quarter of a second, granted. But the complexity goes to the OS instead of a reasonable separation of concerns.

Granted, the mess that [U]EFI is, it might still be the better option. But the old BIOS is only "good" because of the crazy (sunk and continuing) cost to effectively implement "good new bios" within the operating systems.

> 1) if 5% + inflation is above market rates then this rent control is either a no-op or detrimental because it may incentivize landlords to hike rent to maximum because they won't have have the flexibility to do that in the future if the market changes.

It incentivizes landlords to even out their rent increases over time, and to avoid sudden jumps. Especially for lower-income people, price shocks are devastating; having warning of an expected rise in prices, so that you can move or downsize with a year or two of notice, is a boon, and this kind of measure forces landlords to do that work.

I like Python because of zen of python [1]. This fits my brain and had been very helpful. Indeed in 2004 I chose Django instead of Ruby On Rails just because explicit is better than implicit. Overall Python is productive and good. Yes it has some warts and corner case, but than its evident. Among programming language python has a humble community and very approachable. Also most programmer in Python will not hesitate to use low level language and interface with Python when necessary. It's not considered bad.

I think free (spyvertising supported) and free or steeply discounted (operating at a VC-backed loss) commercial offerings both being so common dampens enthusiasm to work on and demand for open source software, especially the user-facing stuff. Earlier on in computing history (into the mid '00s, at least) such things were much less common.

I think it also dampens the same for traditional paid software in a lot of areas, incidentally.
That's a lovely wall of text you have there.
That's the one I've tried a bit before, but haven't spent enough time to be comfortable with it. The crux of it for this project is that if I were making a UI I'd like to move the data validation in to that (and add some more sanity checking) with visual indications if there's a bad row or something looks off. Currently it just it yells at you and terminates if there's invalid data.

So a UI rewrite would make it much friendlier to other users, but it'd be a time investment I can't justify over the "just don't give it bad data" strategy.

The inputs and outputs are all handled manually so reliability isn't a huge focus as long as someone can poke around for a bit and make it work. Only user is me for now, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

# TODO: make it less shitty
The government is perfectly capable of paying for housing if it is so inclined. It is also capable of providing incentives for creating new housing in certain markets, such as discounts; the idea that this can only be incentivized by charging new and existing tenants insanely high rents is the problem. Perhaps it could get some of the money required to do this by extracting it from the tremendous number of wealthy people living in SF, many of whom are probably browsing HN right now. It would likely be easier to do that if their rents weren't so astronomical, of course...

As for "does not translate to affordable housing"--right now landlords and property developers have two ways of extracting money from the system: charge high rents, or pass the property on to other landlords. Maximizing profit on either of these requires rents to keep going up, and for the second there's no particular reason to actually have tenants. Beyond that, "market rate" in SF right now is nowhere close to affordable for most people and will not be for the foreseeable future, even if building greatly increases, which means that the people currently protected by rent control--those who can't afford "market rate", like the vast majority of people in the U.S.--aren't helped one bit by the creation of new housing.

The cost of moving is always a factor, rent will be at market the first year then above market thereafter until it rises to the point that the cost of moving is worthwhile.
It's important to remember that "foreign aid" is actually domestic aid, i.e. is not money given from one country to another to purchase things, but things from particular vendors in a particular country given to another country, paid for by tax dollars. That massive aid to Israel (and Egypt, and wherever else) creates a block of insider companies in the US that need to lobby for Israeli belligerence (and promote the idea of constant existential threats to Israel) to protect a significant portion of their business.

This would happen whether or not these companies had any personal or ideological connection to Israel, but these relationships would tend to grow over time (between contractors and the Israeli government.)

edit: The US as a whole gets nothing but hassle and cognitive dissonance out of the relationship, but just like any war racket, people producing the material for that war get wealthy enough to get their politicians elected and perpetuate the process.

The US healthcare system is not a free market. In many parts of the country building a new hospital requires government permission. Pharmaceutical drug companies are allowed to set prices at higher prices here than the rest of the world and block imports. Most customers get their healthcare from their employers (due to tax law), so they do not shop around for the best price. Doctors are heavily regulated and it is very difficult for qualified foreign doctors to immigrate to the US.

It actually changed a lot how some companies handle government requests for data. Apple for example, completely switched their strategy because they wanted to be seen as protective of customer data. They realized that data requests would eventually leak so they avoid storing identifiable data on the servers. They saw privacy as a competitive advantage.

Could the tenant not save the amount of money the rent was not going up to be prepared for the day when rent did go up? The tenant could have saved 5%’s worth of increase, invested it in an index fund for the day that the rent eventually did rise. A 12% rise after 3-5 years would be no big deal since the tenant would have been prepared.
