>Allowing private developers to build market-rate housing results in the construction of “luxury” housing instead of “affordable” housing.

Don't know about the rest, but this one seems to have some truth to it. No developer wants their brand spanking new condo to be occupied by paupers. It gives the place a bad image and brings the value down. Plus because you cannot simply kick out tenants in most places, you are stuck getting a low income for a very long time. So they prefer to market them as studios for expats and young professionals and keep half of them empty accumulating dust. There's certainly something to fix there although I cannot tell you how.
It's not just about devs getting older and busier, but also about networks becoming openly hostile towards third party client implementations. There used to be a healthy ecosystem of Whatsapp client libraries, but they have gotten takedowns, and their users bans. Eventually people give up. Some few individuals build third party implementations but keep them secret so that there is no retribution (I remember reading about a guy blogging about a self made iMessage client).
I knew a super-taster. She was a foodie and a chef. Her favourite things were Oreos and vanilla ice-cream. She could tell if the milk was left out of the fridge for a minute. She could distinguish all the variance in wines but didn't specifically enjoy any of them. I think a lot of the pleasure in wine tasting is the 1-upmanship. Personally I have been recommended wines for certain meals that complemented so well it made me notice. That's good but only in context not in isolation.
I run all three here. On Windows 10, if I say on the "happy path" everything "just works". I have a Lenovo laptop, and our desktops are Xeon boxes with Supermicro motherboards. No weird USB problems, etc.

Linux, however, is another story. Bad sleep support, forget about printing, scanning, GPGPU computing, etc. We use it when we have to.

I run a similar setup although with a different set of services: IRC, Slack through wee-slack, Hangouts through bitlbee with purple-hangouts, Facebook Messenger through bitlbee with bitlbee-facebook. Slack and Hangouts mostly work, but FB Messenger is a pain, attachments rarely work and it disconnects fairly often. So if the Beeper bridges end up being more reliable (possibly due to people being paid to work on them), I might just give it a try.

That is, once weechat-matrix works together with wee-slack… (https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248) :-)

I'm a huge apple fanboy, but there are still issues that crop up on macOS, like it or not.

My favourite example is one that the OP mentioned - not supporting multiple stream transport on Displayport. For those who aren't familiar, Displayport MST is a feature that allows multiple streams over one Displayport cable. Some monitors support this directly, meaning you can have

Macbook -> Display1 -> Display2

rather than

Macbook -> Display1
Macbook -> Display2

This is great, and it really helps clean up your desk in multi-monitor setups and maintain that "one cable" philosophy that I, personally, love. And macOS supports MST too, which is great.

Except they don't support it for this.

What they support MST for is to allow vastly-higher-resolution displays on macOS, such as 5K displays, by splitting the display image over multiple stream transports to bypass the limit on resolutions and refresh rates that Displayport provides (or provided at the time).

For some reason, they just haven't bothered to implement MST to allow for multiple displays; it exists and is supported, but only for high-resolution displays. This is great if you're googling around and see that macOS supports MST, then you buy monitors which support MST and hey surprise it doesn't work and there's literally no indication why.
... you know, I had actually forgotten about that as an actual option. Yes, some people would probably be fine running Stream. I personally would avoid it because you're sacrificing stability by beta-testing Red Hat's software for them, but it is free, it is close to CentOS 8 (RIP), and it is likely to be good enough™ for many uses.
Who's "we" here?

Is it surprising that the government of a nation would act in its nation's interests? My understanding is that the reason for supporting globalization, free trade, etc was that those policies _were_ in our best interest rather than being some lofty ideology that we should always strive for.
As an active trader in these markets, it's frustrating that a 74 year old's brief and broadly incorrect statements can cause a 7.5% downward move over the course of a day. Cash is the #1 driver of illegal transactions. Darknet markets are a drop in the bucket of aggregate global illegal activities compared to daily transactions in various international fiat currencies. She's just preaching the narrative that she must, as another puppet of the state.

Frustrating and sad, as someone interesting in the underlying technology and the ability to democratize payments for people around the world.
In many ways. I could write a book about this but lets just say operational stability and reliability is the primary reasons.

People, people! It doesn't matter if you're a "lefty" or a "conservative". What matters is that you don't interfere with the operation of the market as developers would prefer it. Those who do are obviously wrong and bad, and politically motivated (which is just another phrase for "bad").
That sounds something a super privileged Silicon Valley codebro would say. It's almost embarrassing.
And do you think that’s good or bad?

I think it’s nice that there is only one escape character. You check for ‘\’. If it’s there, switch on the next character checking for ‘n’, ‘t’, ‘r’ or ‘(‘, defaulting to appending the unmodified character to the output.

I think that might not only be simpler, but also be slightly faster than having having two different escapes would be.

> Java on Truffle is a normal Java application, it can run on a vanilla OpenJDK, doesn't need the bootstrap step.

Okay, but if you're not bootstrapping, then you still need to keep OpenJDK around, and you're still hugely dependent upon big chunks of C++ code in OpenJDK, particularly in the garbage collector, unless they've added a crazy in-memory bootstrapping hook to OpenJDK to switch garbage collectors without shutting down the JVM.

Maybe there are some rapid development advantages to not requiring bootstrapping, but that means huge amounts of complexity around allowing re-definition of classes at runtime, particularly key JVM internals. Changing a tire without stopping the car is going to be very tricky.

The license discriminates based on field of endeavor, invoking additional constraints on the basis of what you use the software for.

The legal team for Fedora expressed this well, I think:

> It is the belief of Fedora that the SSPL is intentionally crafted to be
aggressively discriminatory towards a specific class of users.
Additionally, it seems clear that the intent of the license author is to
cause Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt towards commercial users of software
under that license. To consider the SSPL to be "Free" or "Open
Source" causes that shadow to be cast across all other licenses in the FOSS
ecosystem, even though none of them carry that risk.

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fe...

I think it is this discrimination that makes in not as free or as open as AGPL and GPL.

I'll do you one better:

macOS does support MST! It actually does! But it only supports it for splitting one display image over multiple streams, to overcome bandwidth limits on Displayport streams.

For providing a signal to very-high-pixel-count displays, macOS uses MST.

For providing multiple displayport signals to multiple displays? Nope, not implemented.

Imagine my frustration after a day of googling and finding out that macOS supports the feature we wanted, but not the use that we wanted.
I haven't run into that problem in years. As long as you are running a mainstream laptop (Asus,Acer,Dell,HP etc...) you will likely not have a problem. I will grant that you should still do a review of the hardware against supported drivers (especially around Wifi)... 9.8/10 it will just work.
Yea you are right! It suck to not be able to make custom discord client.
It’s not clear there is anything to fix here. I think the article explains pretty well that, yes newer units will be preferable to wealthier residents, but this results in older units being cheaper, and results in fewer existing/non-wealthy residents in the area being displaced.

Often luxury is also a misnomer. At least here in Seattle most of what gets labeled as “luxury” is merely new. There’s nothing that special about the complexes or units aside from newness. The materials etc, aren’t luxury grade.

You can probably find them anywhere if you can get access to the local old (ahem, established) people. It can be a tough crowd to break into though. Coming at it from the right angle helps. Deference and respect to the local history is just as important as a trip to any foreign place, or rather, a place where you are a foreigner.

Local businesses unlock a lot of connections. Hardwood sawmills and butchers have worked well for me. A good local butcher supplies the best local pubs so getting to know one can unlock access to t’other. Pubs are extremely variable in the localness of their management. A village pub that’s owned by Greene King and no longer has a snug is a world away from a village freehouse with a family friendly public bar and a saloon bar full of sozzled young farmers.

Knowledge of the countryside and Anglicanism helps too. The old guard’s interests overlap a lot with bird watching and Christ. I’m not religious but I am spiritual enough to enjoy chapel, and choral music is a free gig if you’re into that sound. People are glad to meet you in church: it’s the easiest way of signalling you take the community seriously. With all respect to the actual religious practice, in terms of the old ways far too many villages became Alpha / evangelical over the past few decades and in my limited experience it’s those communities that are letting go of the past. (This is a sweeping generalisation so I hope I’m not offending anyone.)

I used to think that venerable old cultures were a mystical thing one only found in the Far East but they can also be right on your doorstep.

Crossing through the Midwest in the winter of 1703, the Lakota traverse a frozen lake, and discover that a tremendous herd of bison has been trapped beneath the ice. The natural refrigerator feeds them all winter. The book contains multiple moments of this kind of shocking, strange beauty, as when in a major conference women drop pieces of buffalo fat into their tipi fires at night, turning lodges into gigantic lanterns in a “sea of sparkling light.”

This is a book review. The book is 544 pages. This is just an enticing taste of what it contains.
You’re correct. However, you only have to take down valid claims. If I issue a take down for a music video owned by, say, WMG, Google doesn’t have to listen if they can see I don’t have the right to. That’s where people are coming from: they’re saying the takedown was never valid, so GitHub (Microsoft) didn’t have to listen to it. The big problem with that is: if GitHub refused to take it down but the RIAA prevailed in court, GitHub would lose their “safe harbor” protections.

The DMCA is heavily tilted in favor of the supposed rights holder, and GitHub really did have no choice in that situation. It’s messed up, but it’s the reality of the laws of the land.

There’s also the issue of people who are mistaken and think it was a section 512 notice (direct copyright infringement) when it wasn’t. It was a section 1201 one (DRM circumvention). We can argue all day about whether it’s DRM circumvention or not, but the fact of the matter is: there was obfuscation of some sort, and it wouldn’t be hard to convince a judge that that counts as DRM. GitHub erred on the side of caution here.

I'm running several of the mentioned integrations on my own server (without the Ansible script) and every now and then there's a weird bug, or some slowdown, or some messages not getting through, but I've mostly switched.

I'm not sure if I'd ever pay $10/mo for a service whose main selling point is running what are essentially reverse-engineered hacks. Some of the integrations use the official available API (like the Telegram one) but others (like the Whatsapp and Signal ones) run on altered web client code. Furthermore, in most commercial chat systems, alternative clients are usually not allowed and can lead to a ban of your account if the server considers you a bot.

The product is a worthy attempt at fixing the mess that is modern chat solutions, but from my experience I just don't trust the system enough to switch.

Also keep in mind that any e2e encryption platforms like Signal and Whatsapp provide is made worthless if you use a bridge; I haven't seen any bridge use Matrix's e2e encryption yet and your messages are all being decrypted on the server regardless.
All the things you listed above involve linear algebra, including word processors (a modern word processor is loaded with algorithms).

Spread out here would really more refer to separate cities (with varying levels of urbanness) e.g. Austin, Denver, etc, since the densest cities don't really have room for more suburbanization. Is there a point where proximity a la SF turns into too much of a monoculture to still be as long-term beneficial?

(Those other cities, though, do have room to grow outward still, and so far keep going out; it will be interesting to see how long they can sustain that.)

Beyond these methodological questions, I think that the Mendelian Randomisation approach works best for situations where the effect of some exposure is chronic eg LDL and atherosclerosis, particularly where the disease process may begin in childhood or adolescence.

For an acute infection I think it is a blunt instrument at best, as there is going to be a lot more noise in the inferred target variable.

> Many usages of "induced demand" in this debate are really talking about increase in quantity demanded, i.e. more people will buy housing at a lower price.

Pretty much every market of interest for this debate is supply limited, so more people CAN'T buy housing if all that changes is price. It just becomes more of a lottery.

That's not what I nor the linked article are talking about - more an idea that continual growth may not necessarily ever lead to long-term downward price movement.

You can criticize them and you should.It is their choice to run GitHub in a US jurisdiction. Many other places in the world are not as repressive.

(Plus, I'm betting there's at least some mechanism to reject frivolous DMCA takedown requests immediately.)
In the U.S. the president at the moment got to decide how we'd respond to the pandemic as it happened. Lots of people disagreed. They got to vote in a new president, but that one vote is for a whole basket of issues. Not exactly a referendum on the pandemic, more like a decision on which faction/ideology will be in control of the federal government until the next election. Calling the pandemic response a democratic decision seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

I'm sure the situation is the same in many of the elections that you linked, most countries are republics, not democracies.

Admittedly I wonder about the modern use of the word "democracy" being used to legitimize what was supposed to be a republic, was never meant to be a real democracy, and has drifted into being a plutocracy.

Even if the RIAA payed 1.5 lawyer hours to the EFF’s 1, this is a bad trade IMO. And I doubt the RIAA is spending significant time on these cases based on their record of general sloppyness (ex- the time the RIAA sued charter for infringement on songs they didn’t have the copyright to, after making the same mistake with Cox https://abovethelaw.com/2020/03/riaa-realizes-it-sued-charte...)
> But they don't at this time

Presumably because people of those states don't want it that way. Which means they consider the federal government "their" government, not the "government of the state".
You're missing the lack of creativity and courage in the managerial class.

Support can very much be a profit center. Support personnel is relatively cheap; if their services are priced correctly, they can easily become a stream of recurring income - and everybody knows that "recurring income is best income".

However, this requires efficiency and creativity at the managerial level. It's easier to see support as a burden and just work on shrinking its costs, instead of maximizing its revenues by formulating good price plans. The former is an internal effort that is fairly easy to implement in short timeframes and will easily win brownie points with direct superiors (who doesn't like to cut costs?); the latter requires actual pricing skills and market knowledge, and might take a while to get results. The mediocre manager will always prefer the former.
Thanks for adding a link to my library! I hope it may serve other people well. Mean while I'm heavily upgrading the font and text part, that is, I have successfully implemented a parser for the OpenType format (only TrueType so far, working on CFF). Also, I've finished bindings for FriBidi and HarfBuzz, and implemented Donald Knuth's line breaking algorithm. What remains is connecting the dots. Also other improvements are on the way, such as better image loading (PR in progress) and more path functionality (tessellation, merging/masking (OR/AND), simplifying, and more). Please let me know any comments or feedback!
If all the housing you're accustomed to was shoddily built more than seven decades ago and indifferently maintained since, then quartz countertops and generic Whirlpool dishwashers probably seem like an unfathomable level of luxury.

As you say, though, it's generally a misnomer. Often it seems like a thin euphemism for "New and not for you".
