"Assume good faith" and "avoid ad hominem" are not "naive." They are necessary. You simply cannot have a fruitful discussion without both parties agreeing on those rules. Even if you are convinced that your opposing party is not arguing in good faith, it is still in your best interest and the interest of those observing that you argue your own side using proper technique.

If you have given up on this, there's no point in participating at all.

It would seem your article supporting rent control does not suggest it encourages new development, it states a "super-profits" tax system would do so.

I care a bit. It's misleading by the standards of anyone who's used to reading graphs. Wikipedia is an organization I care about and trust and it sucks to skim a graph and realize that the axis was changed to mean something that the shape didn't convey. The entire value of graphs is using shapes to convey meaning.

Your identity on HN is your profile and posts, and your shared secret is how you prove you own that identity. Is that actually uncommon? I would call `laughinghan` an identity.

> As for the use of photos of me that are owned by other people, I'm pretty certain that neither CCPA nor GDPR cover those.

You're talking about specific laws, and I'm talking about general principles. The dichotomy I'm supposing is between complete anonymity and complete ownership over my own data. Owning data means being able to restrict how other people use it.

No expects to be unidentifiable in a photo where their face is visible. But if I own my face, I expect to be able to issue a takedown request to sites who post images of my face without my permission. If I genuinely own my address, or my contacts, and a third-party site makes them publicly available, I should be able to do something about that, the same way that I would be able to restrict them from distributing a piece of IP I owned.

CCPA and GDPR don't cover individuals, just companies. This is a compromise, because it's just not feasible right now to have a version of GDPR that covers what ordinary citizens share. But there's nothing special about companies. If I'm committed to a world where I own my data, I don't want my rights to vanish just because the information was posted on a blog instead of Facebook.

And that's where you start to see this conflict -- because in order to maintain control over data, you have to, well... maintain control over data. You have to know who's posting it and who it belongs to. People who advocate primarily for anonymity are opposed to that kind of world. Their extremes look different.

In the real world, most people will be somewhere in the middle. They'll lean towards data ownership on some things, and anonymity on others. For example, I doubt that many people on HN believe that companies should be able to operate anonymously. Even though anonymity/ownership is not a binary choice, different people are going to be lean towards different sides of the continuum, and that's where you see these conflicts.

Find me a landlord who doesn't support rent control and I'll show you one who doesn't currently own property in the area where it's being discussed. Rent control is a boon to landlords who can easily justify an 8% rent increase each year, because it's codified in law!
Did you even read your source? 100k includes Oakland and Hayward.

also, did you seriously think that the problem with homelessness is that they didn't have a house to stay in?

I’d give Manjaro a try. It’s an arch based distro where they take care of setting up a desktop environment for you, while including a nice install experience.

After that, you’re basically in arch land, which is an excellent no-frills stripped back experience, with an unrivaled user-created package repository. Seriously, every time I have to install something on Ubuntu it drives me crazy to have to use whatever out-dated stuff they have in the repos, or to go hunting for a PPA. With arch it’s one command to install almost anything (assuming you’re using pikaur or the like for installing from the arch user repository).
High housing costs are always, without fail, a regulatory problem.

If the rents are high because of a lack of available units, you build more units or make more units available.

If you are at peak carrying capacity in a given city you need to expand infrastructure (vertically or horizontally) to support more & denser development.

The trick is both can require public spending to make work. You can't just rezone and let a city go and expect magic in the first case scenario. You often need government subsidized building of cheap apartments to spur the economy to build up and attract investment / higher paying residents to build generalized housing. Most developers are looking for the highest margin building they can do, and while in theory any potential profit from building should eventually be met there are only so many construction companies, especially urban highrise class builders, and they prioritize the best deal.
Yes, just it would house all my thoughts on someone else's computer. That's a big deal-breaker for me.
This is a pretty typical retail backoffice recipe as well (changes only during maintenance windows).
Echoing others, you really don't want Kubernetes here.

I only have limited experience, but Kubernetes works very hard to abstract away the actual machines, and it works best that way: you just say "Deploy 20 instances of job X", and k8s will somehow find the machines to deploy them. You don't care where they are running - k8s handles that.

Once you start to care about actual machines and which jobs are running where, k8s starts to make less sense. You're paying for huge complexity (required to abstract away the machines), but you're getting none of the benefits - it just becomes a glorified wrapper around Docker daemon.
When calculating "out of touch," it's worth keeping in mind that Hacker News is its own bubble (and tends to skew further in the privacy-paranoid direction than the public average).

I just read the article and the journalist did a really good job of getting the medical examiner to cough up a few more details, as well as other people in Lamo's life.

Based on this evidence, I am relatively confident that Lamo died from acute toxicity that was accelerated by advanced stage kidney failure.

The cause of this kidney failure is almost without doubt due to the quantity, type, and lack of purity of all the internet drugs he was taking. He was obese at the time of his death, stealing pills, walking with a limp, and falling asleep in his food according to the people he lived with before he was evicted and transfered to a different apartment by himself.

He also hurt his leg on the night of his death and likely ingested a "normal" dose that for most people would be fine, but for a kidney failure patient would be deadly.

I am confident that he had kidney failure because his serum creatinine score was 55x above normal. Mine is just 3x above normal and I already have to eat a really restricted diet =0

>Housing is a resource. If you have a magic wand to make resources exempt from economic forces, please wave it over food prices for the rest of us.

That magic wand is called public policy. There are similar things you could say about food -- i.e. how unregulated markets lead to developing countries being forced to export cash crops instead of growing food that people in that country need to actually eat.

>That is a huge claim. If people could use their land as they like there probably wouldn't be a housing shortage. Developers make large fortunes out of install dense blocks of apartments; and doing that isn't going to make housing more expensive.

4.8 million households in the U.S. depend on Section 8 to afford rent. These are direct subsidies to landlords to house these people. In an unregulated market, landlords would not rent to these people, and they would be homeless, or they would live in actual slums, which don't really exist in the U.S., but would have to in a fully unregulated market.
That's super fiddly though: you will be leaning on (anti) affinity and counts to retain the 1:1 relationship between hosts and pods. I would argue that daemonsets aren't for any specific workload, they're more about how you want scheduling to happen (1 per node, on some subset of your nodes).
In the US, fuel taxes are earmarked for road building and repair, but aren't enough to pay for them at either the federal or state level. That completely ignores the negative externality of carbon emission.

Meanwhile, in a few states, cigarette taxes are actually targeted at the negative externality: health problems, including secondary smoke.

So I guess it depends on what you want to achieve. Failing to tax a negative externality like carbon emissions would seem to be corrupting influence that misaligns the entire economy.
I thought the California rent control:

- didn't control much more than egregious rent increases

- didn't apply to new housing

- expired after a time
Mumbai is extremely regulated, and much of the city has strict height limits. The slums there are mostly built illegally.
Public services can be exempt from economic forces if a society deems them worth the cost. Generally in most first world nations you aren't denied life saving treatment on a cost benefit analysis.

In the same vein, it seems like its almost necessary that governments be leading the density charge in building. There should always be a public housing option everywhere, and it shouldn't be a default ghetto. Japan does an extremely good job providing a baseline amount of public investment in dense urban housing that helps regulate the unit supply the private market is otherwise managing.
Cars can be a psuedo-free market, because you can buy a car built in Detroit, but drive it in Boston, and everything is fine. You can buy a car from Tokyo, and drive that in Boston and everything is fine. You can also choose not to buy a car, but instead buy a motorcycle, and everything is (mostly) fine.

You can't do that with housing. No amount of new zoning or new construction can solve that problem, because the land in every city is already fully monopolized.

Housing will never ever be a "competitive" "free" market. It can't be, because buyers don't have meaningful agency in their choices (for all but a few exceptions, everyone basically has to live pretty near their work/school/family), and buyers can't opt-out of the housing market (there are no reasonable alternatives except things like homelessness, which aren't reasonable).
Supply and demand. It's just that simple.
We introduced the Tax Rates API earlier this year to help with this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/taxes/tax-rates. It doesn't do everything just yet, but we're getting there!

We should always be respectful to one another.
All these comments and threads fail to understand the purpose of rent control. It is not to provide the most efficient housing to new residents but to protect existing residents from being priced out.

Until there's a better solution than "tough shit" these policies will continue to be popular.
Ask a rent control proponent what market rate actually is and you’ll see why they gravitate towards these bandaids

People view “market rate” as “expensive so lets do something so people can afford housing” , distinct from “influenced by supply and demand and a rent control solution further constricts the supply of non controlled units further exacerbating inequality”
Though you messed up the basic numbers, I think that the larger point needs addressing.

Why are these homes vacant? Should people be allowed to take a month of vacation without losing their home? Is it ok for an apartment or house to be empty for a few months in between residents?

One month in between tenants every two years is more than a 4% vacancy rate. What should the vacancy rate be?

And what if in addition to housing the homeless we also want to house workers with unreasonable commutes?

Every single person I know who has raise this X vacant homes and <X homeless has not bothered to ask these very basic questions.

We need more homes. 25% more than we currently have, in the high demand areas. We don't need hem in Detroit or Stockton, we need them next to jobs. And we need to stop the profiteering home owners who speculate on the value of their homes by blocking others from living close to them.
Thank you. This is the the best explanation I have ever been given to the definition of a start up.
Yeah, but that isn't growth. Growth is my car gets twice the mpg and I now have a petrol heater on cold nights. Or I drive twice as far. My lifestyle staying the same from one week to the next is stagnation even if I'm using less resources.

This is an appeal to Jeveron's paradox. If efficiencies increase, growth looks like getting much more output. Getting the same output when efficiencies increase doesn't signal growth.

I suspect the disconnect is people think that "good" and "growth" mean the same thing. That isn't a real link. The situation doesn't look like it is growing, even if it is good.
At the moment I don't think there is a way to do that.
But it's probably in Steam's interests to make it happen, from their own platform. Otherwise I could write a tool to do that, start my own website "occasions-vapeur.fr" and charge 1 EUR for each sale and it would presumably not be illegal to operate such a brokerage website in France (keeping in mind that reverse engineering for such purposes is explicitly legal in Europe).
Most of what you see in that picture is commercially-available, commodity scientific-grade cryogenics gear. There are a handful of suppliers that make this kind of gear and it's probably pretty common across all of the superconducting QC research machines.

So yeah, it's crazy machinery, but it's not anything special to IBM. Hopefully there's pressure to miniaturize it, but ultimately do you want to have to worry about getting a Helium 3 delivery to be able to use your laptop?
Of course it's not going to be obvious to everyone. Some people honestly don't see the difference between criticizing that behavior and saying to people "you should smile more"[1]. Good luck explaining it.

The need for massive investments in public transportation is a little more than just a regularly problem. The real solution is allowing but taxing new development and using that money to wisely pay for new infrastructure.

This rarely happens because developers want to pocket that difference, nimby wants zero development, and everyone wants to spend that money on their own ‘critical’ projects.
They tend to produce overfitted model instead, because the such competition optimize towards that direction.
Napoleon had the same problem with his soldiers, and solved it with lots of sycamores. Atlanta could put some temporary structures to give shadow also.
If this were true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, then shouldn't current landlords be campaigning for rent control?

It basically gives them a monopoly. Rent control serves as price fixing to keep out competitors. The entrance fee (to build a new building) is too high for the returns compared to alternative investments. For current landlords, it's a trade-off of lower short-term profit for long-term stability. Isn't stability the reason you invest in real estate (as opposed to say the S&P500)?

I did. It's a call for women and non-binary people to participate in a survey, not get a job. They're trying to assess the people that are under-represented in their hiring, not hire them preferentially.
I'm seriously all for women's and victim's rights (I'm a woman btw). Something seems off here. She is suing Lyft, ok. NO WHERE that I can see, does she demand that her rapists be prosecuted and be sentenced for their crime. Her focus is only on suing Lyft. If I was raped, I would be demanding that my rapists be charged and sent to prison, not only for closure for myself, the security of knowing they are off the street and I'm not in danger anymore, but also knowing they won't be able to do this to another woman! Instead it's all about Lyft not taking her complaint seriously and being insensitive. It appears she didn't even tell them what happened right away. Am I missing something?
A monolith is simpler than a bunch of services. If you can run your system as a monolith, you should.
Thanks for sharing the story – love hearing early accounts of when companies start!

The key takeaway from the story is that Andrew, as a founder, was willing to roll up his sleeves, get in the dirt and talk directly with customers to get early feedback. He didn't use his liquidity and profile to hire someone else to do this – that would have been too easy. A good founder will always start at the foundation, and build from the ground up.
There are two basic positions on the economy:

1. Those who focus on the beauty and simplicity of markets and the advantages of decentralized decision making.

2. Those who focus on all the ways markets create or abet undesirable conditions for human beings.

Everyone reasonable sits somewhere in the middle of those positions. The loons are gathered at both extremes. There are perfectly good arguments against minimum wage, rent control, and steep progressive taxes. There are also perfectly good arguments for those things.

And none of that has anything to do with Donald Trump.
If you don't have faith in your government, you need to fix your government. Nothing else in society can be healthy or long term stable if you are operating under a fundamental distrust of the exclusive wielder of violent force. Its fundamental.

Going into an election season its valuable to remember. Housing, healthcare, the military industrial complex, infrastructure, bribery, corruption, undemocratic elections, polarization, etc are all fundamentally a product of flawed government. Its not just a "get money out of politics" flawed, its a fix elections to be representative and equitable, make representatives accountable, make everyone matter and have equal influence. Because contemporary American government is hugely against all these points.

Its a super hard problem of course, but it is the problem to solve first - nothing else is going to get much better while things are very likely to get worse so long as the disconnect between having an educated rational electorate whom are fairly and justly represented by elected officials accountable to them isn't the general state of affairs.

I'm sure this is being posted because California's state wide rent control is going into effect soon enough.

Of course - my rent was just jacked up again. Got the letter in the mail today. (Now paying about 22% more than two years ago) Landlord needed to get another 10%+ rent increase in before they're under rent control.

Figured this would happen. Just sad to see it actually go through. So much for protecting existing renters...
