it's not a bad deal! The cost I expect for my kid at a state school for a 4 year school is ~~~~150K, given typical cost increases.

I'm not averse to giving him enough debt to attend to his finances with care - say, 20-30K in today's dollars. But I'm not saddling him with debt to last into his 30s. I lived that. It killed a great deal of opportunity for me.

I expect I will probably buy 90% or so of the Washington state GET program (somewhat complicated), and let him sort out the other 10%.

> YC's 7% is a pretty heavy take

This is a FAQ and here is the stock answer: if you think that participating in YC will increase the value of your company by more than 7% than it would otherwise be, then it's a win. Otherwise not. That is true regardless of the circumstances.

If what you say is true then you should have investors beating down your door whether or not you're in YC.

> The downvotes you're getting are pretty telling of the american tendency to infantalise their children.

No, they're not. They're telling of the fact that people fundamentally trust that others are doing the best they can in the situation they find themselves in, and have probably considered the obvious alternatives.

GP's not getting downvoted because people don't think children should do chores (that's not a particularly common opinion, unless you're looking to bash Americans), but because it's a callous and self-important opinion that their friend's mother had never considered getting her kids to do chores, and that a reminder from a busybody would have solved the issue.

I do not have hard data on borrowing rates etc. but the two libraries I go to (western suburbs of Paris) are full.

Full of older folks, full of children, full of the children's parents. Purple sit to read and borrow impressive stacks of books.

There are also plenty of students. They could study at home (taken into account the average population wealth) and yet they come to cluster in sub-optimal conditions.

I do not have any concerns for these libraries to dissapear.

I do not know how this works for other countries but French consulates often hold a library as well. They mirror this system of "meeting space" for national and francophones. Last time I tried that was on Krakow, Poland and the experience was great.

I supported those claims with an analogy to free trade and the political backlash caused by structural dislocation. Here's another parallel--price gouging. Rent control laws are a form of anti-price gouging measure. Show me a jurisdiction where the electorate would vote down an anti-price gouging law (or one that doesn't already have one, for that matter).

In the most popular cities, where housing insecurity sentiments are acute, rent control has the same logic and appeal to voters as anti-price gouging. And just like with anti-price gouging laws, arguments that such measures negatively moderate price signaling (which might induce greater supply) are insufficient to persuade voters to oppose them. (The more persuasive argument concerns opposing government and advocating for property rights, but in cities with large renting populations that argument is a difficult sell, especially if single-family homes are excluded, which is very often the case.)

Housing security is a fundamental, high priority need (see Maslow's hierarchy of needs). When it's threatened, promises of future supply and price improvements are simply insufficient to resolve the felt problem. There's a time asymmetry dilemma to such structural problems, and there's no easy way to solve it. I argue that some rent control laws (at least in certain geographic areas) are as inevitable as some tariffs, at least in the short term, so long as there's a strong democratic process. Remove or weaken the democratic process and you can more easily resolve that particular dilemma (while creating other ones). I might cite as a supplemental source Platos' The Republic.

Economists systematically underestimate the value of security (defense, shelter, food, etc, and pricing stability thereof). Perhaps because it's difficult to accurately measure. We can "price" the value of a human life in the aggregate or in special situations, and we do for various purposes, like various forms of insurance, or civil restitution. But good luck convincing people to make criminal penalties against murder contingent on inability to pay restitution. (That is, legal if you can afford it.) Even with a trillion dollar premium (above and beyond existing restitution formulas--earnings, pain & suffering, etc), few people would vote for that, which means that in some sense the value is infinite.

It's more efficient than an induction motor. An induction motor has the most torque when it's at rest but then generates its own resistance as it spins up and so loses efficiency. In the dual motor setup, Tesla use both types to get the best of both worlds: induction to accelerate and then it cuts off at some point and uses only the switched reluctance for efficiency.

Probably not, but there were other leaders within those larger protests who did believe in violence and called for it, but were not followed as much. From the government perspective, those leaders did present a threat of violence. Meaning that at any point Gandhi/MLK could fade into irrelevance and one of those leaders could lead the charge.
A lot of people argue for the ideal rather than the proposed solution, and conflate the two.

In this case, the ideal is stable, affordable rent prices. The proposed solution is rent control.

Rent control, from a policy standpoint, does not create affordable rent prices by itself. It needs to be paired with a lot of other policies - supply control, great city planning, landlord incentive adjustments via taxes, fines / punishments, enforcement of it, etc.

So, people espousing rent control as the solution are inaccurate semantically. Rent control is part of the solution, but what's more important is how rent control is paired with other policies.

Rent control is not an independent solution, but (as most policies are) its complementary and needs to fit with the rest of the policy package. For instance, if you had a policy to force housing to double every year (and somehow it actually happened), rent control is not needed because supply would reduce pricing naturally. And in a supply blocked economy, the issue is that demand is high - rent control would do nothing to reduce demand.

If you're going to create a policy that creates stable, affordable rent prices, you'll need to look holistically at the each sub-part of the issue. Saying that we need stable, affordable rent prices is natural - it's a human need, a moralistic ideal, and also great for many people. But it doesn't add much to the conversation, and it makes it difficult to have dialogue with actual proposed solutions over the loud, muddled public debate.

One thing about the Phillips screw driver - perhaps it's Pozidriv[0] type, that's compatible with Phillips but different/better.

"Phillips" was originally designed to slip to prevent over-tighten. One more PH. screwdrivers come in various sizes (read the listed article for more). Using the correct one works significantly better for: flat/ph/pz, etc. For stuff like torx is not even possible to use incorrect screwdriver.
Last screwdriver quality greatly varies, with some brands being exceptionally expensive or even pride material to own.

Yang is willing to adjust policy positions if the data supports it. If property prices are being raised due to UBI, then I'm sure he'd support something like LVT.

That's the difference with Yang. He's the most data-driven politician I've ever seen.

Other politicians seem mostly ideological, and I don't think they'd adjust their policies even in the face of overwhelming data it's not working. Like if Warren used Antitrust law to break up Amazon and it didn't change any relevant metrics, I think she would still call the policy a success. Ideological politicians like that are way more dangerous than someone who wants to try new ideas and is willing to adjust if they don't work.
> The political cost of an army of voters worried about housing insecurity is incomparably higher.

Can't you make them stop worrying by building enough housing that they believe the free market will give them affordable rents even without rent control?

This is different from a factory shutdown because there's much less of a natural cap on housing supply than on job supply. You can build four-story apartment buildings basically everywhere, modulo government interference (zoning, permits, etc.), and they'll work, so you can just build enough to pull down the supply/demand intersection to where people want it, that is, in a free market you can just build residential buildings and expect them to turn into housing. You can't just build a physical factory and expect it to turn into jobs.
Global warming will be fixed easily if/when people stop thinking the solution is to drag humanity backwards, instead of pushing humanity forwards.

To think that we've somehow reached the peak of our ability to safely consume energy and resources when we haven't even left our home planet is an extremely short sighted perspective. In 1000 years our ancestors will laugh at those who thought that somehow, after thousands of years of advancement, humanity had found its insurmountable wall to more growth and consumption of the universes' infinite resources in the humble year of 2019 due to a mis-calculation regarding the carbon emissions due to the parochial method used at the time for generating power. It's patently absurd if you take a longer perspective. If we don't survive 1000 years, it surely will not be due to our collective failure to solve this problem.

The more people continue to think that if we just convince people to give up their modern lifestyle we'll solve the problem, the longer the problem will persist.

Instead, we should be striving not to solve global warming as a first order concern, but develop technologies that will radically improve the lives of all people, and solve global warming as one of their side effects.

Have thought about this a bit. Moving towards DD used to seem like an obvious evolution to me, particularly with modern technology. Following recent political developments I see a lot more risks now.

First of all is how do we choose what to vote on; a lot of power is rests on whoever drafts and sets the "framing" of votes. If we also do this "directly" in some manner then the filtering mechanism is vulnerable, and if we try to crowd source all the things we are likely to get "government by reddit".

Direct democracy moves power away from politicians and towards media (traditional and social), celebrities, opinion makers. If you believe we live in a world of misinformation now, there is a potential for direct democracy to make that much worse.

It's also not obvious in a direct democracy how you would control for holistic things that result from many decisions. The obvious one is how do you balance a budget without making the voting process very complicated.

I mostly agree with you, except that rent control can reduce demand by disincentivizing people from moving to your city. I suspect this is one of the reasons SF's rent control is popular.

But then, yeah, the real goal is "keep housing prices low, and keep newcomers out," not "rent control."

And who prevents the criminal or military leaders from taking over once the governments fail in your scenario? Are you saying there won't be anyone around who attempts to seize power? That isn't how things have played out in areas of the world where central governments have failed.

We had informal requirements (or better, "expectations") for the length of a PhD thesis (physics). It was about 200 pages.

Mine was a whooping 40 pages. Introduction to the subject was two sentences and the fact that if you need an introduction to the matter you should probably not be reading this thesis which deals with a super specialized area.

One of the reviewers refused to read it on the basis of the size. The four others looked relieved not to have to go though the history of physics again.

I hope that things are changing in this age of blogs and concerned information, the French idea of a thesis made of published articles and a few pages of glue is great.

There's a time asymmetry at play. I think it's inevitable specifically in those cities where costs are rising quickly and feelings of housing insecurity are acute--the same cities we normally discuss in the context of rent control. In that case you couldn't possibly build quickly enough to address the issue. And let's not ignore one of the primary reasons communities often find themselves in that situation--zoning and regulatory hurdles that limit supply, demanded by the very same electorate suffering from lack of supply, yet which isn't nearly as keen, if at all, at removing those hurdles.

Rent control is even on the table in cities like Chicago, which relatively speaking has been pro development. But for a state law prohibiting it, Chicago would now have rent control; and it seems likely that exceptions to that prohibition will pass the legislature. That goes to show that time asymmetry is problematic even without the scourge of single-family home NIMBYs.

Regarding the free trade analogy, the alternative I had in mind wasn't building factories, but moving to new locales and finding new jobs. Which is the de facto existing alternative for housing supply-constrained cities, which have been free all along to promote greater densification, but simply incapable of doing so to the extent necessary.
