> I'm not speculating at all. The article has the data to back the facts : house prices went down in Berlin.

but supply has dropped as well. Freezing food prices would also drop food prices, but won't stop bread lines.

>Yes, homes can go up on speculation alone, but this is a bubble that will pop. In North America, rising rents act as a backstop that prevent the bubble from popping, because of guaranteed rental incomes that protect you.

Not exactly. Price-to-rent ratios are above 30 in major north american cities, reaching as high as 50 in SF. While future cashflows might provide some backstop in terms of your investment, that's really not much of a consolation when you can be doubling your money roughly every 20 years with stocks.

>In the real world, free markets lead to rent increasing right up until the level where too many people are in poverty due to high rent. That's because the natural increase in rent is simply too high to be counterbalanced by supply.

>The only solution is to make real estate a barely profitable or depreciating asset. This is done here by aggressive rent control. As renting stops being so affordable, apartments are sold, homeownership increases, and renting becomes something you do to prevent depreciation, not to make profit.

I'm not sure how rent control fixes this. If you have 1M families but only 100,000 plots of land, they're going bid up the price until enough people can't afford it. This dynamic is in play regardless of whether there are landlords or not.

I’ve been noodling this idea for a few years. I think it’s a great idea and it being based on Atom/RSS is a great move.

The problem, I have found, is no one wants to pay for hosting. No one wants to self host. And by no one I mean no one that is using Facebook /Twitter / Insta / etc. and for this to really work, I think you need everyone hosting their own “log”.

Interested in seeing more work done in this space and am glad to see others feel the same as I do.

I mean I get it but your annoyance in this case appears to be directed at evangelicals on the internet you are free to ignore, as opposed to coworkers the presence of whom you have little choice. Maybe you are less free to complain about coworkers and so instead complain here? Either way, your complaining is no less annoying than the thing you're complaining about.

Work through it. You need WireGuard to talk to SSH on our instances; that can't change, it's a security rule. You can get userland WireGuard; that's how most people WireGuard. But you can't create an OS tun device: you need root to do that; you might as well just install WireGuard. Ok: you handshaked a WireGuard connection in Go. What's next?

Let's simplify it: from your Go WireGuard connection, just do an HTTP GET. What's your next step?
There was MTP Target, a clone with penguin which had a pretty active community circa 2008[1][2]

I loved this game. It had an IRC server included so you could chat while in game, a forumboard, and a pretty diverse community. The gameplay was simple to learn but difficult to master, with a lot of fun for everyones.

Sadly, it was open-source but not so much. The sole developer never opened up the source of the server, and even the client's were not keep up to date, so it was impossible to play elsewhere than the official server.

The sole developer had a little revenue stream by selling premium account (which enabled the possibility to use custom skins and access to a private server) and never accepted to let the community fix bugs or host other servers. There was quiet a bit of friction and drama between him and some members of the community, and in the end he prefered letting the game die than giving it to the community.

For student learning, a full IDE in a browser that has a very low barrier to entry is very important. Half of my AP CSA class uses chromebooks exclusively and thus have no access to real IDE's. since this is for education I think it's very beneficial there.

Elsewhere, yeah, a full IDE is probably better. But this definitely has a use case IMO.

> I don't think the parent comment meant it as some bad evil thing. More like just a factual curiosity, sort of as "huh, damn, pretty interesting how they have managed to do it."

Right. I read it as that too, but I see I may have come off too strong. I was agreeing with OP while mentioning that others have done it as well.
You have called lock downs "arrogant and threatening authoritarian movements" and told someone that saying racist hate groups lead to violence is "hyperbole that isn't going to work for you much longer". You also said that "hn is filled with indignant nocoiners".

I think acting offended by 'bitcoin bros' is hypocritical.
In the short term, I'm in agreement without caveat, but in the long term letting the prices rise supports industrial growth. The wealthy buying all the bread they want funds the expansion of the farming industry, allows them to invest in more intensive farming practices, and even better encourages price discrimination, whereby the wealthy actually get the same amount of bread as everyone else but pay extra for the "artisan" varieties. Getting the rich to pay more for essentially the same thing is itself an equalizer.

It's not hard to draw the comparison with housing. Let the rich buy the "luxury" apartments on the top floor (just an example), helping fund the building of large buildings which don't get built without cost-benefit and risk analyses squarely in the black.
> And, when bitcoiners tell you that relying on a centralised source, or even a quorum of sources, is completely unacceptable, why then are the same people happy to use smart contracts where the use of centralised oracles is apparently both acceptable and commonplace?

I think you're largely describing two separate camps within bitcoin hodlers. Some are 'gold-bug' types that value security and individual liberty above all else, and so are very conservative in their attitude towards Bitcoin development. Others are 'cyberpunk' types that value technological capability and functionality, and are much more liberal and exploratory in what they'd like to see Bitcoin become.

When you say "same people", I think they are rare, and this statement makes a bit of a false lack-of-dichotomy.
No - not necessarily. IN crypto, it is quite possible to multiply your money when investing in altcoins - purely based on shilling and positioning with no technology to speak of. This is what the OP likely is trying to do here.
The only answer that makes any sense is that you can do things that are otherwise illegal or banned by major companies.

But the drawbacks are plentiful, even for this sort of use case. And this use case doesn't get easier with a whole bunch of speculation. In fact, it gets harder.

And there's no particular reason for such users to leave it in a volatile form. Rather, they would be rational to cash out once the illegal transaction is over.

So the real value of bitcoin should be the expected float for all the crypto-compatible types of black market transactions. Which I'm quite sure is many orders of magnitude below the current price.
Do people still use jQuery?

I thought the biggest advantage of this library back in the day was css selector access of DOM nodes (back when we only had getElementById, getElementsByClassName, and getElementsByTagName). This has been rolled into the Javascript document api via document.querySelector, and document.querySelectorAll.

Also there are browser compatibility issues that jQuery solved but a lot of these are solved with smaller footprint libraries like lodash.

Also for me, along with I'm sure many others, keeping state within the DOM has fallen out of favor of more comprehensible state management inside of JS (like React Hooks, Redux...etc.)

What is the current use-case for jQuery? I'm curious from hearing it's current users answer this.
I'd really like to read a similar write-up about proof of stake
Sure, the actual utility of the currency might be best measured with purchasing power and not exchange rates. Same with Bitcoin or anything else, though.
Rationing bread would increase the number of people who have some bread.

Regulating the price to a point well below the free market supply/demand driven price causes a decrease in the amount of bread supplied to the market (and probably increase hoarding/decrease the breadth of distribution).

Think back to toilet paper shortages last spring. Rationing was arguably the best move (and was what local markets around me did).
We have athensresearch.org and athens-research.com, neither of which I love.

We actually do use Electron! ClojureScript compiles to JS at the end of the day.

Ultimately Clojure is pretty necessary to use our database, Datascript, a graph db with its own data query language, Datalog. Datalog is a descendant of prolog, and makes recursive/reverse queries trivially easy.
JQuery and reading Resig's book and viewing the source code are responsible for lifting me from horrible dev to below average dev:-)

I learned to extend the library and understood to create some minimal libraries for myself.

It can be very useful to this day and is almost a ballerina when comparing the bloat of other frameworks or library stacks.

You never know maybe the come up with something better than react.

Proposal for the Future Service: the Eternal Infinite Day (now)

A first principles approach to this would be a time machine + a cosmic simulation console. I’m not saying that the technology will be available this month but definitely sometime this year (or technically last year too) is probable.

At least it’s a non zero chance. Combine that with a long enough timeline, and the future might just become the past.

Sure, but you also should never just blindly trust a JSON.parse, and if possible you should avoid typing functions for exactly this reason, and let their return types be implied instead. If you didn't type `getThing` then its return type would be `any` and you'd get an error in your IDE on the last line.

jQuery taught me how to write JavaScript frameworks. John Resig, the founder of jQuery, wrote a book called "Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja" was back then really a mindbender.

Function.prototype.toString() is really the craziest thing I know to date regarding JS. Heavily used in earlier versions of jQuery according to the book.
So they're charging a premium (you can buy these phones in mint condition on swappa for nearly $150 less) for a refurbished 3 year old phone because it's preloaded with a ROM for enthusiasts. Who would buy this? I can't imagine any of the people who know or care enough to use /e/ are the kind of people who'd pay someone else $150 to flash a ROM for them.
Legacy systems, probably.

I read, Ember.js would depend on it.
Crazy to think what legacy jQuery and others left. Now I am using React and the usual lib stack.

But I remember using jQuery, pug (or jade), browserify, bower... that was what 5 to 6 years ago?

Cardano is the daddy of shitcoins. It is the Ripple of this bull run. Literally the only thing it is being used for is speculation. Everything else is "coming soon".
Its right in the message above. FBA is the result of researching how to make a bitcoin like system without PoW.
PoS however is based on the ideas of PoW, it just moves the flaws, its not a solution.

FBA was "invented/discovered" before PoS coins even existed.

Essentially FBA is a distributed voting solution. Instead of let the person who has solved the PoW write the Tx in a block, everyone just votes on Tx order. The threshold is rather arbitrary. Most systems use something around 80%. In practice every valid Tx has near 100% votes anyway because no one listens to dishonest nodes. But nodes can go offline or Tx propagation can be delayed so a Tx could have only reached part of the network and thus not reach 100%
Not a big deal even if a Tx has less than 80%. Nodes just re-vote for the Tx for the next round.
Double spend is solved by the ordering alone. If one Tx is first the second that moves the same funds somewhere else, breaks a fundamental Tx rule so nodes wont vote to include the second. Which one came first is irrelevant. Each node just votes for the one he got first and in a possible second round it votes for what the majority of other nodes said came first. So the distributes system can not reach a state where a Tx is stuck.

This is all very very very much simplified ofc but you can easily lookup systems and dig into details if you are interested. There are real "blocklchains" running with FBA since many many years so it without any doubt works. Although like I said in my original post it can allays be improved.

> ...except for a very few productivity applications where UI responsiveness actually matters for increasing employee output (fewer than you’d think).

If there is UI, UI responsiveness matters for employee output.

Research that has been done on this topic suggests that increase in UI latency non-linearly decreases user productivity, whith the ultimate effect on the cost of doing business.

And that has been known for decades - take a look at the "The Economic Value of Rapid Response Time" from 1982:

https://jlelliotton.blogspot.com/p/the-economic-value-of-rap...

It's puzzling to me why businisses still don't prioritize UI latency, but it's not a rational decision.

Perhaps it's just human nature, as hinted in the linked article:

"...few executives are aware that such a balance is economically and technically feasible."
Starlink is an option.

You won't. This is why Bitcoin is valuable since it has stood the test of time and has gained more acceptability. Nanos and other nonsense coins are just trying to attack the emperor in the hope that they come close to it and thus make the speculators a lot of money.
It’s still not dead??

Berlin has 4,227 inhabitants/km², Hong Kong (widely considered to be a very livable city, and also one with hard geographic constraints on expansion) has 6,300. So we have existence proof that Berlin, if it chose to, could support an increase in housing of 50% or so, which would certainly drive rents way down.

Edit: Not sure why I looked so far away, Paris is at 21,000. Like virtually every housing story, this is an example of the people who live in a place deciding they don't want anyone else to live there, and putting up economic walls that only the rich can surmount.
I think from a scientific view, allowing and observing the experiment bitcoin is extremely interesting. Nothing like it has challenged economic thinking in the last decades.

This is fantastic. I maintain a list[0] of tunneling software. One of the few downsides of WireGuard is the inability to run it in unprivileged situations. The complexity and performance overhead here might still be too much to edge out solutions like SSH tunnels, but I love that the space is being explored.

I'm hopeful we'll also see some robust QUIC-based tunneling tools over the next couple years.

Did you mean: bitcoin is _timestamped_? ;)

If I might chip in with my freshly minted 1 karma account.. Bitcoin/"Satoshi" was an incubator of sorts. It brought the brightest minds together to build a new internet that is resistant to tampering by your neighbour or the government. It will in due time make way for the rising stars in that sector (IOHK I'm looking at you!) that will incrementally work toward perfect balance, until it itself is superseded some day.
When I moved to California for a while I once made the mistake of describing my food at a restaurant with "fine, thanks" when the server asked how it was.

Apparently this translates very differently in the culture of the Bay Area where it means something like "I am very upset" whereas in Boston I think this roughly would be read as "I am satisfied, but don't really feel like chatting."
You have displayed just the left-hand lobe of the bimodal US income distribution. The other bump is way off to the right. Middle-class, if there were one anymore, would be at the dip in the middle, where I said, just off-screen. The goal has been to develop and maintain a permanent underclass who are just barely well enough off that any change seems to threaten to knock them into homelessness, yet imagine they are doing lots better than people with brown skin.

The propaganda message is that any improvement for the people at far left (with brown skin, in particular) would be at the expense of people immediately to their right. The other lobe, off-screen, that could afford everything, is invisible. The program has been a fantastic success. Champagne corks are popping every year, but most especially in 2020, when the right lobe shifted quite a ways further right.

I have some relatives in the other lobe. Their lives are very different from ours. Their kids' lives are very different from our kids'.

Quoting the OC:

> Believing based on trust is a pervasive human practice, not confined to scientific inquiry.

Rationalists ignore the role of identity in beliefs.

My socially awkward brother transmuted from becoming the next Jacques Cousteau to full throated Young Earth Creationist. He had the best schooling. He assisted with biological and sociological research.

Why did my brother flip?

I've been pondering this for decades. In a nutshell, my theory is he traded his beliefs for acceptance. He adopted a completely new identity in order to belong to a group.

The evidence for the centrality of identity as basis of our beliefs, what some LessWrong pundits called Belief As Attire, is slowly accumulating.

No amount of scientific literacy, media literacy, critical thinking, logic will successfully inoculate people from cults.

There's some new research that shows early exposure helps. Such as teaching kids about pseudosciences like cryptozoology.

Similarly, there's some evidence that empathy and community engagement and socialization help protect people from falling prey to cults.

A subset of 32-bit ARM is quite common these days in education, often replacing where MIPS was once used.

ARM64 has really swept in the last couple years. My two year old budget Android smartphone has an ARM64. So does my Raspberry Pi. Lots of hardware hacker types likely to play around with assembly would be using ARM, and often 64 bit these days.

That said, it is relatively niche. A lot of those ARM64 machines are running 32 bit software still. But I do expect it to be the dominant architecture in just a couple years.
