Honest question. Why should society allow banks to give out mortgages for the purchase of residential property for use as a non-primary residence? It seems like this will lead to increasing the cost of rent because the renter pays the mortgage for the landlord plus profit.

In too many small communities, the only people interested in day to day governing are the ones bending it to their financial interest. Usually property developers, sometimes people who own a local industry or visible store front (auto dealers). American's seem to be waking up.
Absolutely. Anybody who wants to skirt this can simply use an instance of any number of open source end-to-end encrypted apps and servers. This is not for catching sophisticated criminals.

What does that have to do with sharing the loss but not the profit?
Yeah, that's definitely a good fit. I think most companies would be much improved if they can find someone to help with those kinds of apps day to day instead of having to outsource a shiny app that gets unmaintained or takes too long to develop.

Yes, all housing markets are subject to supply and demand. The point I was making was that declining population has zero effect on Japan's non-rising home prices, since home prices have remained stable for decades now and even when the population was still rising. The main regulator is that there's almost zero demand for used homes, and it drops to actual zero as the years go on. The real value is in the land its on, which if you're planning on buying property in somewhere like Roppongi, it's still going to be insanely expensive. But for renting or buying elsewhere, it's not.

while everyone knows javascript that doesn't mean it's always the right tool for the job. Personally, i had the worst experience with node.js for the backend. There are no standards,you have to configure almost everything from scratch. The best answer might be Ruby on Rails or Laravel. Laravel might be easier to get started,though. Don't be afraid of PHP, it's just a fine, boring language that gets the job done quickly. With Laravel you get authentication and ui scaffolding in minutes, built-in modern asset pipeline with webpack, great tooling, deployment tools etc and a huge community around it.
I disagree that they are "beta" versions, although they do sometimes have issues. I got about 3 years out of the first Intel Macbook circa 2005. It ultimately failed due to the plastic yellowing/breaking issue, not anything to do with the CPU change.

The first-gen Apple Watch was also fine.

Personally I'd wait to see what comes out this fall, and buy then. They'll most likely release new Intel Macbooks in addition to any ARM offerings.

The recent uprising of Marxist groups, such as Antifa affiliates or BLM, stems from universities and other institutions being infiltrated by Marxist propagandists a couple generations ago.

Senator McCarthy was correct.

Edit:

I’d appreciate if anyone could comment on why they flagged this — it’s a genuine post with a video of the BLM founder referring to herself in those terms.

Discussing how Senator McCarthy was correct about institutions being infiltrated seems topical and relevant to someone commenting on him.
This is very true, thanks.

For free speech to work you must have an educated populace. I think America today is a great example of what happens if you have the former without investment in the latter.
Never heard about the democracy index. Pretty interesting. I share this thought of a democracy 2.0 where people are educated more on a rational basis before decisions are made.

This seems to me like overprotective parents trying to limit what the kids should do based mostly on feelings, which is not a bad thing per se, but should be backed by some form of rationality.

I guess a lot things can be challenged

> Because, as it turns out, a Libertarian free-for-all doesn’t work. It requires rational people to have an educated understanding of the risks they face. Millions of people installed dodgy apps, saw the one-time prompt, and lost control of their data.

Doesn't the premise of the article disprove this statement? There's been no regulatory movement forcing the "Symbian" granular permission approach.

I'd argue the pseudo-regulated app stores were a bigger source of the problem, not the "libertarian free-for-all". That is, having an app store with Apple or Google's name on it is what encouraged users to let their guard down and trust all the apps on it. If you had to download the "battery charger" app from Bob's Phone Tools' site instead of the Google Play store, you'd maybe be a little more skeptical of that permissions list.
This existed just fine with anonymity - even if you were anonymous, after time and following the rules, others would "know" who you were based on your interactions - thus having skin in the game.

Not really. That would assume that the only existing channels are official channels. My description works as well for self-organised, distributed, unofficial channels.
I agree that some good will can go a long way. It's also surprisingly easy to just not use pronouns at all.

I was friends with a couple of trans people on college, and I would always either directly address them as "you", or use their name where I would normally say "he/she". It's not a big deal, I just hate that there is a subroutine in the back of my brain shouting "Don't say the wrong word! Don't say the wrong word!". I think that's the cognitive load OP was talking about.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I worked some years with Perl, and while it was fun most of the time, it had a lot of frustrating things that made it difficult to have consistent builds and dependency management. The "There's more than one way to do it" mantra is very damaging when all you want is a productive language to produce something, vs having fun implementing or tinkering with libraries in CPAN. There's a lot of research, including taking a look at the code to really know what the library does, to assemble programs in Perl.

Once you get over the initial conceptual barrier and remember how the sigils are used, and get used to the bless object system, it is fun to develop in it, on an intellectual level. But rather annoying on an "enterprise" level.

In the end, I find it very difficult to justify using Perl over almost any other language. Even PHP would be better for dev teams, due to the higher focus on productivity frameworks, even if the language holds no distinctive advantage over any other. I felt Perl is not really a professional language, but the product of a whimsical creator and community (which, by the way, is very welcoming and open).

A - This is a special process meant to assure that reports are truly independent and neutral. These conclusions are even more trustworthy.

B - UN Special Rapporteur can't be trusted, it's is a random nobody that can publish untrue allegations and slap UN logo on top.

It appears you are implying B is the correct interpretations. If so, why? Additionally, can you suggest a more trustworthy, unbiased party than the UN?

Especially when you look at what renters are actually paying. It's usually way more then the equivalent cost to buy.

Renters are locked out because they don't have down payments. They can't save down payments because rent takes all the extra money.

The sort of instability that renting creates, contributes heavily to the poor performance of children in school.
Top Skills, Jobs Microsoft Is Hiring For
Whilst I've never been a Microsoft user, it's refreshing to see these moves. For decades they've been an opponent of anything being OSS, let alone running on OSS. While the move isn't for everyone (heck, not me) it's still a very positive step, pretty much in line with Nadella's underlying strategy vis-a-vis Microsoft's newfound growth.

Security mandates such as PCI mandate running anti-virus and friends on a per host basis. They demand a 24-hour event review, FIM, etc. If tools like this come to Linux, it'll make it significantly easier for many organizations to start complying with these mandates. To be clear - these organizations already take security at best as a suggestion - these tools help reduce the barrier to entry so that at least the basics can be addressed.

I'd imagine that well over 95% of Linux users would never run Microsoft tools on Linux. At the same time, for those Windows shops that are experimenting with Linux, or need to support a few workloads, can't afford the dedicated expertise (yet) this is definitely a step forward to help them.
I don't remember this "decent ecosystem for developers". Did I miss something?
I've got to say, when I hear 'the whole Russia thing' I assume people mean that the Trump administration broke the law to co-operate with Russia. That is a very different question from whether Russia decided to throw it's weight behind a candidate. Doesn't look to me like a shifting of goal posts at all.
Fun fact that doesn't actually pass on pci-dss1 audit. You need a commercial antivirus with active subscription and centralized monitoring of that.

Also I'm guessing it's easier for admins of mixed infra to have a single threat definition (ie. So your storage server catches the same threats as your endpoints)

I think he's talking generic. Most(not all) of the USA movies are good/bad clearly defined, even physically the good guy is handsome while the bad guy is not, is a "trope". It's more clearly defined than in movies from other parts of the world.Not always and not in every movie, not every character but most of them. If you prefer you can tell is a Hollywood thing.

I'm not suggesting it won't ebb and flow. The issue with aquifers is that as parts go empty and stay empty for long periods of time the sand that stores the water compresses and then can never be re-expanded to be refilled. There is also the worry about what will happen if we have several "dry" years. All this to say, we don't have unlimited fresh water.

I love car access because walking 30 miles to work every day seems unreasonable. Freakin city people.
I've learned from acquaintances who grew up in "tough" places, where street fights are more common, that violence is more about social posturing than it is about the actual fighting. In these places one's reputation can be protection. If everyone knows Bob will escalate situations to a physical fight, then few people will confront Bob. I've heard it's analogous to mutually assured destruction, where the "crazier", more inclined toward violence an individual is, the less likely it is they will end up in street fights.

I imagine if you wanted to study fighting in a mathematical way, you would want to study experts. MMA fighters, boxers, Muay Thai fighters all optimize their bodies and technique toward effective fighting. I bet there would be interesting science/math there, but I doubt street fighting would actually yield much insight.
