The inflation part is pretty key. $M2 has grown from about $7T to $18T, so if anything, housing prices have tracked monetary inflation. It's just that the CPI has severely lagged monetary inflation, possibly because of cheap food prices, cheap oil, cheap microchips, and cheap goods from China.

There's a macroeconomic story for that: with roughly 80 million Millenials (in the U.S; ~3B worldwide) reaching homebuying age and competing for a housing stock that's not growing nearly as fast, the ability to buy a house moves up the income ladder, so that sellers can capture money from an increasingly wealthier homebuying population. Meanwhile, those ~3B worldwide Millenials are entering working age, driving the price of labor (and hence of anything built with labor, including food and manufactured goods) down. CPI of goods & non-professional services goes down, price of assets goes up.

This demographic trend reverses itself in about 10-15 years as the comparatively tiny Gen-Z reaches homebuying age, but in the meantime there'll be an even bigger pop as late Millenials (1990-1998) reach homebuying age and there are nowhere near enough homes for them all. I'd also expect inflation to start showing up in the CPI as Gen-Z starts to make up the new workforce entrants, boomers start dying off, and hence the labor force shrinks and wages go up.
I don't think it's any more complicated than that it's because they can't roll ads on videos that are downloaded.

youtube-dl et al are niche enough that it doesn't put a real dent in their ad business, but making it more convenient with a Download button might.
I hated university too.

I mean, I thought it would be a walk in the park and fun to boot. Computer Science - the computer part was cool. Science was cool too, so a Computer Science course would be amazing!

Except... it's not really about computers. And it's not about science either. It's a complete misnomer. Only after the sunken cost fallacy had taken full hold I realized that it was actually a math course.

If you took most of the Computer Science curriculum back in time, to a monastery hundreds of years ago, with no physical computers, it could still be taught in the exact same way! That's great, but not really what I thought I had signed up for.

Was it useful? Yes. Was it worth 4 years? No. And, for a while, I had a very dim view of myself, as I didn't excel like my peers did. This had negative and long lasting impacts. Took a long while to realize that it had nothing to do with my ability, just my lack of interest.
SwiftUI is pretty cool and productive.

What I don't like about most non-native apps, is that the people did not read the UI guidelines, and small things like proxy icons.

I like react-native / nativescript and the like, where the components are native, and only the logic is in js or whatever technology.
> Unfortunately, the documentation on legal syntax is absolutely terrible.

I totally agree. Determining the semantics of wierd assembly is even harder. At least for syntax you can just see confirm if gnu-as accepts it.

> Did I miss anything else?

I haven't looked into what is actually parsing at all, but it correctly accepts things like %hi, strings delimited by quotes, @function, labels that are just numbers. I had expected some of those to be rejects based on the post.

I don't know what else might fail because I can't try any auto generated code because of the period label issue. I would recommend trying the assembly generated by compiling this project; it shows a bunch of weird pieces of syntax.
I think it's actually a decent time to buy (saying this as I sit in a commercial building I recently purchased in a south suburb). The tax situation can't get much worse, it's almost mathematically impossible to pay all these pensions, it can only get better from here.

Whether or not the "fair tax" passes will be an important bellwether.
So is California. Around 80-90k of pension liabilities per household.

Just California has Prop 13 protections for land owners.
Well no, the entire point of 230 was to allow content aggregators to actively moderate content.

As I see it, there are three options:

1. "platforms" are not allowed to moderate content (pre-section 230) without getting liable.

2. What we have now (sites can moderate as they see fit)

3. Some external board adjudicates on what it is acceptable to moderate

Of these, 3 seems by far the worst, and 2 seems better than 1 on empirical grounds.

> OTOH, if NY Times publishes an OP Ed that slanders and doxes me, causes me to lose my job, etc. then I have the legal right to sue them.

You also have the legal right to sue Google if they publish content that slanders you. You can even sue them for doxxing you. You wouldn't win either one. Nor would you win if you sued the NYT for doxxing you, or if an NYT article caused you to lose your job. Keep in mind that "the covington kid" didn't actually win any lawsuits, he sued a bunch of people for ridiculous amounts and settled out of court for, likely, a relatively trivial sum. It might have paid for his college, and that was mostly "make it go away" money. He's the free speech equivalent of a patent troll.
Under section 1201 anti-circumvention rules, unless Youtube-DL enters the US legal system & counter-notifies, Github/Microsoft face CRIMINAL liability charges with steep JAIL TIME and a half-million dollar fine.

I want to chew Microsoft out for this one, but the US-based copyright mafia have built themselves an unbelievably vicious draconian set of laws that prevent any sort of challenge, including those coming from scientific inquiry or examination. Anti-circumvention is the most world-hating corporate-owned-world flaming garbage that could be devised, and violating it comes with unbelievably mercilessly cruel criminal penalties.

The menace of this threat has silenced science & speech, has prevented mankind from examining the world about them, learning of it, & discussing it. We have outlawed knowledge, outlawed idea, literally criminalized knowing something about the world with steep jail time. This is a farce, of the highest order, one of the greatest shames the law has done unto itself.

> They were wrong, potentially and have adjusted their stance since.

Yes, and there is a period between where they realize they are wrong, where they reformulate their message and then communicate that publicly. What we're discussing here is a similar gap of 2-4 days between evidence of person-to-person spread and communication.

Meanwhile, we have no idea when the US president even first tested positive for covid.
The fact that they had to have tests set to get around certain partners — partners who, it could be argued, had different provisions to try to limit the download of their content - works against them.

In retrospect, it would have been much better to link to an external repo or site or source for the test file, rather than to have that as part of the GitHub repo.

ETA: you’re right that they were always going to go after something, but the action for GitHub to take down the repo wouldn’t be arguable if the test file wasn’t in the repo. It’s possible they would have gone to issues/comments within the project (another reason, in retrospect, to host that stuff separately), but in this case there was stuff in the source code that the RIAA can reasonably argue would lead to infringement.

There are a few tests which have Julia and Nim implementations. It would be nice if the benchmarks game maintainer would include some more languages, like Nim, Crystal, and Zig.

This doesn’t have Nim, but is another interesting one.

I normally answer something like “the salary range I’m looking for is x” firmly enough to show I’m not playing that game. If they continue to push I’ll ask them to explain how the information is used and why they think it should apply to this role. Tbh if they’ve pushed that far though it’s probably somewhat soured the relationship for me.
Maybe they are? In practice, the odds are on the thugs side. I mean they can walk around how they want and pull the gun at an opportune moment while the farmers have to assume people they meet are not going to kill them.
Twitter has not been granted a law enforcement monopoly (nor any sort of monopoly) by the US government. If you want me to buy that for a dollar, your going to have to come up with a better analogy.
You could try implementing a small shim over the FS using Posix or Dokan which just goes to the other FS but make sure writes are synced correctly. It would probably be quite slow, but is sounds like you mostly care about having something that works.
Does anyone know if there are any good resources on "tolerant parsing," if that is the correct terminology? For example, when I write C# in Visual Studio, the IDE remains amazingly helpful even when the code is incomplete and would be rejected by a traditional parser. I'd guess that Microsoft simply has the budget to have the VS/C# dev teams grind out hundreds or thousands of special cases that are specific to C#... but I would love to learn that there are some fundamental techniques that would fit into a few credits worth of CS education.
Doesn't Ubiquity have this functionality? I think part of the problem though is setting up the servers, which can be a bit pricey. Not many people have NASs, despite them becoming much cheaper and easier to set up. It is hard to compete with the simplicity of cloud platforms. A full home operation still requires you to have the drives stored somewhere.

I think the better solution is that someone offers a relatively cheap service that has a cloud option that fully encrypts the data and uses e2ee for communication to the server. Though it is hard to prove that you don't own the keys (I mean how many still distrust Signal?).
Yes. It is the same real, measurable response you would get from an effective medication even though no medication was given. In many cases the rate at which placebo occurs is surprisingly high. (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/306437)
It's standard US military terminology and part of US culture and language.

Just imagine all the idioms they have to account for in these voice algorithms. I know in German they also handle "halb neun" correctly as 8:30.
There might be a confounding factor here. For a variety of reasons, I know a lot of academics. It's pretty widespread for teachers to prefer an early schedule for a variety of reasons. One is simply to help them organize their time better. Another is a rumor that earlier classes get better students. In any event it many mean that the teachers with better seniority get first crack at the better schedules.

I've known teachers who bring cookies on evaluation day. Another rule of thumb is that evaluations tend to favor teachers who give out easy grades.

The evaluations that my spouse received contained threats of violence.
Given the number of fraudulent DMCA takedowns that are created by bots and malicious actors, they absolutely have to be individually examined by competent legal counsel.

At one point Microsoft was issuing DMCA takedowns against (then) openOffice.org mirrors, allegedly on the grounds that any large file with a name that contained the word 'office' must be a 'pirated' version of MS Office. Taking these takedowns at face value would have ended the openOffice.org project and absolutely could not have been respected in good faith.

These kind of abuses are ongoing from multiple parties, including bots, copyright trolls, and crazed ideologues who file completely fraudulent DMCA takedowns to force anonymous personalities to disclose their identities. There is no alternative but to consider DMCA takedowns on legal merits because so many of them have no merits whatsoever.

Having the funding to do this 'at scale' is just as much a cost of doing business as paying for power and connectivity. If hosting platforms don't want to do this, then they should purchase an amendment to the DMCA to impose criminal sanctions on entities that serve fraudulent DMCA takedowns.
I do the same when talking. Never realized others have this condition as well :)
Big Data Quality Assurance
I think the study just looked at 25 cities, which means many cities are not included.

Bangkok is also having a huge housing bubble, many believe. Same is likely true for Pattaya & Phuket. Too many empty condos. Not enough buyers. Prices could see huge drops in the near future (and are dropping already). Developers are asking the Thai government now to ease regulation around owning of property by foreigners & ease visa regulation for foreigners [0][1][2][3].

I certainly hope they didn't use this metric... I can't find anything anymore so of course it takes me longer! I still struggle to find things under Microsoft's "new" Office ribbon...
> Are you sure your expertise in this area is up to date?

It's a constantly changing field, but Health data systems are not the fastest changing field. Change is bound to lower pace layers (governance, usually) and so the capabilities of these systems are ground slowly but incredibly fine.

> Rank speculation, but I'd imagine there are current designs even at Apple that protect user's health data, and those designs contradict your claim of a shrug-while-we-work dichotomy between "privacy and effectiveness."

Cool. I always enjoy new ideas for how to do things. If you can solve these issues, you would upend a HUUUUUGE industry overnight and would be richer than Bezos.

> Disclosing your salary can turn a potential double digit raise when changing jobs to a few percent raise.

Fwiw, I've had success with "I make $high_six_figures, I'm at a good trajectory in my current role, so to make up for ramp up risk and various downsides I'd have to see 30-50% more" and got an offer on the high end of that. I'm not sure acting uncooperative would've worked better.
I'm not expert, but I did work in the same office as journalists from a more respectable news organisation.

News rooms are not trying to be Twitter. The goal is not to gather and disseminate information as fast as possible. They're more interested in telling a coherent story around a news event. So they might hold off while they verify or find supporting information. Who was the child? What was the outcome? Was anyone hurt?

There were multiple occasions when the organisation had information about a breaking news event but held off rushing to publish while, I assume, they verified information. One story that stuck in my mind was the murder of a woman and her children by her estranged husband. First reported as a car fire, and then later confirmed as a murder suicide. Ultimately no information was withheld, but care was taken to make sure the event was not turned into salacious clickbait by publishing rumours or rushing to be first.

This seemed counterintuitive to me, but at the same time, what do we gain by having that kind of news arrive more quickly? It's not actionable information.

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I opted into this beta a long while ago, toggled dark mode, and haven't missed the old interface at all. I don't care about scrolling and I think it's cleaner. To each their own I suppose.
Thanks for your response!
Agreed that a logo is a not thing that should be taken lightly.

Priorities in open-source communities are weighted differently by different members of it. We do care about accessibility, and the current logo have serious readability issues that affect disproportionally people with low-vision.

IMHO a "welcoming" community should encourage improvements, rather than halting collaboration because it doesn't come from the main members.
For your future work:

If someone with 40+ years experience in the industry or gray/white/no hair says something about a technology trust him/her, after 8 month you can agree or not...but the chance is really high you will.

Yes, we are really good at denoising. There can sometimes be a couple of possible different "solutions" to the spectroscopy curve, ie. different combination of elements that would lead to the same curve.
People always complain about new layouts because we don't like change. The change didn't bother me much this time around. I switched to the new layout 4-6 months ago, turned on dark mode and never looked back. Facebook has always had a confusing interface, it feels easier to use nowadays. Then again all I do is check out groups and use messenger so I'm not exactly a Facebook power user.
Ditto.

I can't wait for Julia to murder Python but before it can do that it needs to push all delays out of the interactive parts (to include both REPL and cold launch) and into the package management parts, where people will tolerate delays. Anaconda decided to stick a full SAT solver into the package management and it's every bit the shitshow that you'd expect, frequently taking 30 minutes to solve and failing to converge, but people tolerate it because it's in the package management.
> I don't think it's any more complicated than that it's because they can't roll ads on videos that are downloaded.

That's certainly something they can do; they just don't do it.

Compare movies on VHS tapes, which all roll ads before actually playing the movie.
> Mental health I think is at least somewhat different. I'm surprised this hasn't been studied at least a little. A fortune in implementation costs (system I was stuck with was 10 years ago now - absolute trash / hell).

Yeah, MH is an odd beast. I think the slowness of health data change is exacerbated by the complete lack of funding to this area (at least in countries with public MH services).
you mean i would predict but not contribute?

yes.
Totally. And they can use C/C++/Rust which is what most do when performance really matters.

I don't see Julia as a general purpose langauge. I don't see high performance network stack written in Julia ever.

I see Julia as an academic scripting language that happens to be fast *

Hi HN,

NewZip is a new relocation app for consumers.

Skip the overwhelming research and long distance travel to figure out where to move to. We help you find/compare the best neighborhoods/suburbs, line up moving services and manage the hundreds of todos to get settled in your new city.

We know a thing or two about building large-scale real estate experiences. Our last startup was acquired by Keller Williams where we built the new kw.com, consumer iOS/Android apps and data science team from scratch.

We’re looking for ~10 folks who are planning on relocating to a new city to test out the app/service. Please sign up and email me (jayme@newzip.com) if you're interested.

Don't really agree with the criticism, to me the interface feels cleaner and less cluttered.

>It’s confusing and feels very “oversized.”

I don't see how it's confusing. Contacts on the right, navigation bar at the top, Groups, friends and so on on the left, feed in the middle, all visually separated.

>Of the 5 main giant buttons (navigation icons) at the top of the page, none of them are notifications — arguably the single most-used button and the one I need most.

This I don't understand at all because for me the second button from the right in the top bar literally is the notification button.

I also absolutely don't mind that things take up more space or are larger because it improves readability. I don't think scrolling is bad in any way, packing more things on the same space is not good design just because you make things denser, if that was the case we wouldn't use paragraphs in text, and scrolling on the web is free. I'm actually glad that pages move away from stuffing everything onto one page like the early web, as if we only had one sheet of paper.
