The whole topic of conversation around housing affordability is backwards. Specifically, housing affordability is 100%, entirely, a problem of artificial constraints on supply by city councils

This is literally economics 101. Supply and demand curves.

Anything that decreases supply, increases price. Anything that makes some of that supply available cheaply, increases price for the rest. Anything that increases development risk or reduces the profit available to landlords, decreases supply and therefore increases price.

In short, drives for affordable housing mandates help cause the very problem that they intend to solve.

If you want to actually improve affordable housing, build a shit ton of housing. And built it close to where people work. This will reduce prices, reduce congestion, and reduce commutes. Everyone winds up better off.

And yes, the solution needs to be built in YOUR backyard. If you whine about that and whine about the problem, you're either willfully blind to facts, or a hypocrite. Get over it.

Yeah, vendoring in Go can be a bit frustrating. One of the great benefits of the JVM is how dependencies are isolated to the project so nicely, bundled into the jar, and everything "just works" no matter where you take that jar. That's one of the most liberating aspects of working with Java/Kotlin/Clojure, etc.

What's the relationship between React and Vue? I've tried searching for it, but all I could get was code samples comparing the two.
This is literally the company blog that we're commenting on, not their personal blog. There's also 3 posts on the HN front page about this same topic and not one of them has any substance. So yes, I'm going to stick with my decades of experience and say they're producing red flags far faster than they're producing product.
Mark Karpeles defrauded a customer in France before he bought MtGox and moved to Japan. He was found guilty of fraud when tried in absentia because he skipped town and left. When MtGox was hacked and the hot wallet was wiped out, Mark didn't even bother to stop using a known compromised hot wallet. Over 3 years he never bothered to ever rotate keys for the hot wallet, even though he already knew it was compromised when it was wiped out in the original hack. Mark publicly touted how MtGox was using cold storage for 95% of all Bitcoins in MtGox at all times and that the keys for those Bitcoins were secured such that you needed to compromise two out of three geographically separate locations in order to rob the cold wallets. None of that was true, and Mark knew that the exchange was insolvent from the day he bought it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23938.msg1177353#msg...

His solution to the problem was to make a trading bot with an innovative new strategy of "buy high, sell low". That trading bot was something that he publicly denied multiple times and it wasn't funded with Bitcoins or dollars to trade, it just made trades without having any funds allocated to begin with. Even ignoring that the deposited funds were stolen the exchange didn't have any hope of being able to be solvent because the Willy bot just added funds to the exchange out of thin air. The charitable interpretation of Marks actions is that he was too incompetent to even realize that his trading bot was losing mountains of cash and too incompetent to realize that he was always draining cold wallets but never filling them back up and too incompetent to ever bother to run "SELECT SUM(BTC) FROM accounts". The only BTC left on the exchange was the cold wallet that was discovered afterwards because Mark Karpeles was so incompetent and cavalier with customer funds that he quite literally forgot about one of the cold wallets lying around with 200,000 BTC in it. If he hadn't forgot about that wallet, he would have kept dumping it in the hot wallet to let the thief siphon off and push the scam out another 6 months before it collapsed. Even at the point that withdrawals were frozen entirely and all of the money that Mark knew about was gone he still was spouting off B.S. about how it was transaction malleability, it's not our fault, your money's not gone we just have to fix this bug, etc.

PIA's business is built on trust and rasengan decided to hire Mark Karpeles as their CTO. I honestly can't think of anyone who I would trust less as a CTO than Mark Karpeles. I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely can't think of someone as bad as Mark for a role like CTO. There's not a chance in hell that I'm going to give PIA another cent based on that alone, even ignoring the most recent Kape debacle.

Your original comment claimed that research suggests that improving access to healthcare is "highly unlikely" to change the state of American mental health.

I'm not following how this second comment makes that case. It looks like you are extrapolating from "social media use causes poorer mental health" to "access to healthcare and housing are less important to mental health than social media use". The statistics and studies cited don't make this claim, so I don't understand where you're getting it from.

I have no studies in mind that connect mental health and access to healthcare and housing. I was curious if you had studies suggesting the opposite, since the connection appears almost tautologically true to me.

The full evolution of Flickr from https://businessideaslab.com/flickr-history/

> A project founded in 2004 by Vancouver-based company Ludicorp (coming from the Latin word for ‘play’ actually), Flickr, as we know it today, is nothing like it was supposed to be in the very beginning. In reality, this website was made out to be a kind of a multiplayer online game, which eventually was turned into a chat system with live photo-sharing options. While the team behind Flickr, namely the couple Steward Butterfield and Caterina Fake, was working on quite a big number of settings and possibilities for the project, they ultimately got rid of the coding system for the game and created what is currently viewed as the beginning of Flickr. Later, even the chat system called Flickr Live, which was the basis of the earlier versions of the site was erased since the entire character of the portal has transformed into something a lot more different than the planned too. Also, we must never forget that, just like languages and cooking, the internet is something ever changing and there is nothing still inside the World Wide Web. Every site is what the users want it to be, the users of Flickr didn’t want to chat – they wanted to share their experiences in pictures and not in instant messages.
I've also heard something along the lines of "a plan is useless but planning is invaluable."
New Analysis Details 'Aggressive' Tax Dodging of Silicon Valley Giants
I'm not sure how the lesson (if any is intended) applies to some of these.

For example, YouTube started as a dating site. I genuinely don't know enough about the history of the website: is it that they had a decent dating website going that had videos as a feature, but talking to their users and studying the analytics they saw the video feature taking off and decide to revamp accordingly? Or did the dating part just fail, and the choice was to pivot to something else in their wheelhouse or risk losing investors? I genuinely don't know.

My sense of Twitter and some others is that it was the former. But for companies in the latter category, the lesson maybe it just "don't give up" rather than lean startup principles.

We've supported Debian in production since 2018, and we're close to supporting RHEL as well. And even if we only supported Ubuntu, there's a lot of benefit to providing an installer that works on every Ubuntu LTS release; most larger organizations have additional monitoring/security/backups/etc. software they want to run on every system they manage, and to make their own decisions about when to move their organization to newer major OS releases. You can also use our Docker image if you want that, but a lot of organizations don't :).

I wouldn't say the installer is actually a complete machine takeover; we're pretty cautious about using the system versions of dependencies shipped by the OS vendor. But we do __document__ that you should treat it as one, mainly for support reasons. The support experience that we currently provide is that where possible we respond to, investigate, and debug all reports of issues installing Zulip, with the goal of making it Just Work (this includes working to give nice error messages for common user errors).

Before we added those warnings in our documentation, we got tons of reports from users who were trying to do things like install Zulip in a shared hosting environment with other software that doesn't expect to share its database (etc.) with something else, and where they don't have root access. Also, investigation often determined the system in question had low RAM/disk resource limits from the shared hosting environment that meant running Zulip on that system wasn't going to work in any case.

At one time, that sort of shared hosting setup accounted for the majority of reports from folks having issues installing Zulip. Investigating those reports was a huge waste of time for our development community. We solved that problem by making our documentation recommend installing Zulip on a dedicated system. This also provides a lot of benefit in terms of our being able to do things like tune the configuration for postgres and memcached to allocate resources in an appropriate way for a Zulip installation with the system's RAM allocation.

There is occasionally discussion in the community of adjusting our approach here, but given how easy it is to get a VM or container these days, we're currently happy with guiding users to the dedicated VM/container path that we can guarantee works ~100% of the time and provide a great installation experience.

CO utility sees opportunistic window to save money with solar, wind, and storage
Having a requirement to link a SIM to an individual is not privacy erosion.

It does not mean that usage is monitored, and usage is the important privacy aspect.

Furthermore, this just puts mobile phones on par with landlines. It used to be that having a phone meant having a landline at home, and obviously that meant knowing exactly who a number belonged to.

There needs to be a balance for everything in the real world. And even most Western countries have concluded that requiring IDs for SIM cards is a necessary measure.

Now, for Chinese authorities one issue (without even going into politics) is that China is a very low trust society where it is almost expected that everyone will flaunt the rules at the first opportunity. So I am half guessing that the government sees technological solutions as a way around that.

(As for renting a room, it would be crazy for a landlord not to know who their tenant is just for practical reasons considering land and tenancy laws in most EU countries)
A lot of people nitpicking at the argument here, about resource substitutions, efficiency improvements, etc.

So let's simplify this argument a little. It's not possible to have infinite growth in a finite universe. By definition infinity > not infinity for arbitrarily large values of not infinity.

Therefore the limit of growth as time approaches infinity is 0.

At some point you reach the physical limit of the system and exponential growth ends. This is true even for digital systems if the digital good involves some physical resource like energy, storage space, bandwidth, etc.

For example, if we keep growing energy usage at the historical rate of 3% a year, we would cook ourselves with the waste heat within 400 years. It doesn't matter where the energy comes from. Now we can get around that by moving off the earth, which buys time, but eventually, also in short order, we'd use all the available energy from our star. We could get around that through nuclear energy sources or widening the area to encompass more stars. But there is only so much matter and energy in the universe. Eventually the show stops.

I challenge you to find a theoretical counter example.
> He seems to confuse being an economist with having knowledge about literally everything.

Cowen does have knowledge on almost literally everything. If you listen to his podcast he will get into the weeds with experts in a diverse array of fields. When he interviewed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar he asked about specifics of his basketball career and also his writing and political work, when he interviewed an Asian food writer he asked specifics about cuisine in different regions of China. He always seems to have studied the entire body of work of every guest he speaks to every week. He reads and travels extensively. You may still think Cowen's ideas are bad, but he is obviously well-informed on the issues he discusses.
That's good. Makes me think of "No one plans to fail. They just fail to plan."
Land Value Tax is one of my favorite overalls to the tax system proposed. Normal property taxes are one of those things that sounds great on paper but the actual implementation has shown us it just encourages horrible rent seeking behavior.
> Americans consider housing to be an investment.

Correction: Americans who own their homes consider housing to be an investment. But that in no way prevents housing from being "affordable" for renters.
If you have 2000 nodes and you generate 2000 updates a second, you will never have more than 2000 things to update per frame, as you only have 2000 nodes. Thus even at second 2 or 3, you will still only have 2000 things to updates, as the older updates are now outdated and has been replaced by something more recent. If you updates only 500 of them, that will means that in average, it will takes 4 seconds before you see the most up to date information for a node.
> if you could buy bonds yielding 5% why would you hold rental properties that yield less before maintenance?

There is leverage available for real property that is much greater than that typically available for other investments. (There are also depreciation tax incentives that further help cash flow.)

An investor who is seeking cash-on-cash returns can invest $200K to control $1MM of property or invest $200K to control $200K of bonds. If the bonds yield 5%, that's $10K per year. (With bonds yielding ~2% now, that's $4K per year on $200K invested.)

If the property appreciates at 3% per year, that's $30K per year in appreciation. Add rental income, subtract insurance/taxes/interest on the mortgage (but not principal), and you can often find that real estate is a "better" investment than bonds, particularly if you discount the fact that you're working it as a second job, the labor of which is not taxed as labor but returned to you as capital gains later.
Scott Adams has been talking about this in his Periscopes.[1]

My take is that, as long as things like ethics are not a concern, China can

- mitigate effects of the one-child policy to some degree

- reduce a target sub-population over time.

If one doesn't mind being a diabolical monster, what's not to like?
