It all comes down to business risk. For example, with all the trillions being printed and stuffed into the economy, I'd be afraid of a return to 20% inflation like in the 70's. If my rates were capped at 7%/year, you can bet I'd raise it now by 7% just so I don't get caught next year with 20% inflation and only a 7% rate increase.

Yes, right now, I'd risk fewer tenants with 7%, but balance that against what might happen next year when I'd be full and still lose money because of the cap that year.
Haha this is very true. This also seems very true for Algebra and Calculus. I never really remembered/internalized all of the rules of Algebra (moving around log, e, ln, a^x, etc) until doing derivatives/integrals by hand
This, this, this and again this!

I find it helps a lot if people's first interactions are not just in text but preferably in person but at least in video conf. The overall culture of the company plays a big part as well and so does the experience people bring with them from other companies.

If your only experience is adversarial PRs then even if the new company you joined has a perfectly calm conversation in PRs you may read them as adversarial.

Its the whole 'tone is not included in written communication' thing. So whatever expectation I have about how you would actually say the written thing will color everything. If we haven't had any real life interactions so far I may substitute my really bad 'last 3 companies' PR experience.
So it's utility is for sketchy (but not too sketchy!) merchants in which a much cheaper wire transfer or free visa/mc payment would be unacceptable, but not illegal because it's a permanent public record of the transaction. Got it.
Typescript + NodeJS + React + Server Side Rendering yeah...
I love my young colleagues, I really do. I enjoy their infectious enthusiasm and only quietly discreetly in the secrecy of my mind recall how we built strongly typed JSP sites that did more or less the same thing 20 years ago. But in those days we got excited by Struts, Tomcat and JMS.

Verily there is little new under the webdev sun...

Nobody is talking about banning existing cars, so the 50-60y timeline is irrelevant for this discussion. Some cities are considering banning non-EVs from the core though. There’s some talk of trying geofencing tech that would allow hybrids if they’re in EV-mode.

Also remember that adoption tend to follow S-curves. From start to finish is a long time. But the 10-90% ramp is usually very fast.

Norway and Netherlands will probably ban or severely restrict sale of new non-BEV cars in 2030. I’m guessing a lot of other countries will consider it, or implement very strong incentives then.

Norway went from 1% to 50% of new sales being BEV in about 10 years. Most of that in the last 5. This was during a time when BEVe and charging technology was garbage compared to whats on the market now. We mostly ramped up with 50kW fast chargers. Now 350kW is becoming common.

> they happen in response to market pressure

This is starting to ramp up very quickly now. BEVs should have lower TCO by at latest 2024 or so depending on where you live.

A breakthrough in battery tech that reaches market before 2025 could accelerate things significantly. Yeah, we’ve all heard about all these fantastic battery breakthroughs in the lab that we never see the results of. The thing is, some of those have been quietly progressing, and now we’re seeing companies actually start real manufacturing of some of these. QuantumScape is a promising example.
Yes, you live in a society.
I don’t see the hate for animations when done correctly. I just tried it, and I really prefer the normal mode of operation. On Android I did disable animations because on an older version they are not done as smoothly as on the iPhone, but they can absolutely give many information on what actually happens.
I have given you the exact opposite advice. Sorry. Doh.

>Markets pick winners and losers all the time. Markets pick winners and losers all the time.

This isn't true. If people are paying enough for the developer to build additional housing then everyone will win in the end.

>It's just that winners in market housing situations are always the people with the most money.

That is the price you have to pay for allocating resources in the most productive way possible and ensuring that everyone wins in the end. It's a small price compared to the benefits.

>It's difficult to make an argument that it's a more virtuous way to select winners, compared to 'the winners are the people who were here first'.

As I said, it's the path to everyone winning. If you fail to allocate resources efficiently then you will just get a lot of losers and some special interests who are not losing.

>Both are fundamentally unfair. Life, in general, isn't fair.

The difference is that one of them will stay unfair forever, while the other would have the potential to get fairer, year by year.

>Rent control doesn't exist to maximize overall virtue. It exists to minimize disruption and upheaval in people's lives. You're explicitly excluding that from your criteria for success.

They will have to move one day, since there isn't enough room for everyone and when they do, they leave for good with no second chance.
I'm not following your point here. Renting is not the same as owning correct. But the topic is rent control, how does ownership play into this?

SF famously has a black market in rent controlled sublets. In theory the amount a master tenant can charge for a room is a question of proportionate space and overall rent. In practice, they charge a lot more, and it's exceptionally rarely challenged.

Comparing these two sets of O() estimates is a bit dubious. SHA256 uses almost no memory and hashing can effectively be distributed across machines at no cost. All of the current factorization mechanisms build vast sparse matrices and then perform reduction operations. At some threshold point the memory needed exceeds the capacity of a single machine. This means the O() estimates will hit a speed wall as it is necessary to distribute the computation. Single machine size / memory availability is of course a moving target! O() complexity bounds are great, but unless you've got a machine that can perform every one of the operations at a cost multiplier of effectively 1 it is not always possible scale things up or make this sort of algorithm comparison.

Inflation only impacts actual cash. Land, stocks, gold, durable goods, even loans, and other forms of wealth are not directly impacted by steady state inflation.

Remember, if you have money in an interest generating account then you don’t have actual cash you have an IOU for cash with whatever institution you deposited that money with. Now, changes to the inflation rate or hyper inflation are another story, but consistent ~1.5% inflation is the goal.
This comment is highly underrated.

This is a shame, we had the opportunity to meet with Bryce. He comes across as someone who has thought deeply about the space and was in it for the right reasons.

I’m struggling to imagine why LPs wouldn’t want Indie.VC investing in profitable companies. I had thought LPs had different buckets they try to invest their portfolio in. It makes sense that Indie.VC wouldn’t fit the mold of the “1% chance at 100x” but you would think they’d be a great fit for the “50% chance for 5x” bucket.

There probably isn’t a single reason, but I’d be interested in learning more about the LP <> VC dynamic in general if anyone has any insights.
Rent control is a mechanism to ensure that zoning can stay the same and construction is discouraged as much as possible.

>If rent control were eliminated tomorrow in San Francisco, it would continue to have a crippling housing shortage, because of those million factors.

Yes and as long as politicians don't get the dumb idea of reinstating rent control they would be forced to listen to all those angry voices instead of just giving them rent control to make them shut up. Rent control is a tool to reduce accountability. It's mostly abused to sweep problems under the rug.

The reality was you where almost never getting a cached version anyway. There are so many versions of jQuery in use over so many CDNs that the chance of a user already having the exact version and cdn that you use is almost nothing.
Sigh. This is discussion, nothing combative - and if you want to apply that label to me then you're equally "combative" - so it's a moot point.

You've ignored my questions or countering my specific points - instead saying I've used straw man arguments and saying I'm arguing in bad faith - in order to avoid actually responding to my specific points, likely because you don't have arguments to counter most of them.

Is firmly holding the hand of child to safely cross them across the street because they're acting in a wild way or having a temper tantrum considered abuse? I'm really curious what your line for what is considered abuse vs. what is considering caring.
If you don't have types you still might not know what to pass in. I mean if it says function( id, filePath, newStudent) is id a number or a string. Or say filePath perhaps you have a defined class for that instead of passing in a string. Sure you could write it as function( idNumber, filePathString, newStudentClass) but you're just reimplemting types as a naming scheme that isn't able to be checked compile time.
Yes sorry. You are right I wasn't very clear and also I didn't realize that B12 actually comes from bacteria and archaea.

The organisms that provide us vitamin B12 tend to host said bacteria and archaea within their GI.

Alternatively supplements are provided (as I mentioned).
Nutritional yeast, dairy, and vitamin pills are some of the ways in which vegetarians survive. Apparently certain beans are high in B12 as well!

I think you must be wrong. Here's the ingredient list for Starbuck's turkey bacon:

Turkey Bacon [Turkey, Vinegar And Lemon Juice Concentrate, Water, Brown Sugar, Honey, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Seasoning (Natural Flavorings, Sea Salt), Cherry Powder, Evaporated Cane Sugar]

https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/368/single?parent=%2F...

First, they are using "cherry powder", which I'm almost sure is ground cherry flesh, not pits. At least, all the examples I can find online are the fruit (https://www.google.com/search?q=%22cherry+powder%22), and I'm doubtful that they would be legally allowed to call pits "powder", since most cherry pits are often considered to be poisonous.

Second, the ingredients need to be order of weight. There is more salt, potassium chloride and seasoning than "cherry powder". While I'm sure their bacon is really seasoned and salty, this doesn't leave much room for a "bulking agent". And I'd be really surprised that "cherry powder" is cheaper than "turkey", as I recently bought an after-thanksgiving turkey for well less than $1/lb.

I'd be betting that the "cherry powder" is either being used as a flavoring, for the color, or to justify some spurious nutritional claim. But if you have more in-depth knowledge that would support your position that it's just cheap bulking agent, I'm happy to be wrong!
It’s definitely on the way to becoming legacy tech, but jQuery was a great library back in the day, like, history book great.

It played a big part in the Web 2.0 days, could be argued that if it wasn’t for jQuery we wouldn’t have the modern web at all, or if so, it would be a lot worse.

Yes, there's historically been cases for dynamic typing that went beyond "writing type annotations is hard", although as time has progressed, computers have gotten faster, and compilers have gotten better, the scope has gotten smaller and smaller. (I think a language in Python's niche that was created today would have a simple type system with extensive inference, just because someone developing such a language today would find it technically feasible.)

Another case is what Alan Kay calls "extreme late binding" in a messaging-oriented language, as seen in Smalltalk and Erlang.

> Why not care about the emotional state of the animal?

I don't need to. What benefit does it have for me, or for anyone, to sit around crying about the poor cow that became my prime rib dinner? It's utterly pointless. The cows will still be dying tomorrow, and my children will still be hungry like every other day.

I am not advocating for _more suffering_, man. Humane killing where possible. Free range when affordable. Organic when it makes sense. Ultimately, I'm advocating for cost effective, large scale agriculture that gets us the protein we need to survive. I don't have a huge pile of care to spare for the emotional feelings of chickens and pigs, sorry to say.
Hmm. Maybe the problem really is too complex for that? "the external factors are intrinsically unpredictable and have strong nonstationarity because the friction of the ice essentially changes with every throw.". But it would have been more impressive if they actually compared to such a classical algorithm - made by someone else who was actually trying to be competitive. There don't seem to be any others though.

So in order to grow the meat, they have to culture the cells in bovine fetal serum, which they get from cow fetuses on their way to slaughter. My question is how much meat is grown per fetus?

> Cell-grown meat, I told him, would be spurred on by synthetic serums refined from the crude system currently used, where cells are bathed in fetal bovine serum. The serum, which promotes cell growth, is collected from the hearts of calf fetuses found in pregnant cattle gone to slaughter.

> This is where your argument totally loses steam. You can't just handwave and say you'll build public housing... that is an incredibly expensive and politically difficult thing to do. When your theoretical solution to the problem is something that is very much not guaranteed (or even likely), and you pretend it'll just be no problem at all, you're ignoring reality and not presenting a useful solution.

Just issue municipal bonds, and use that money to build. Investors pay the German government to hold their money. Building is not expensive at all.

I work on an app that is half react and half rails templates. Every time something has to change on one of the rails templates it becomes a process of explaining to the project manager that we can't easily make this change which would have been trivial elsewhere because this specific page is using server side rendering.

Its become such a large obstetrical that we have scheduled in a task this year to remove all server side rendering from the app.

That's interesting that Soviet era buildings there have a reputation for being grand outside. In Prague, buildings built in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic era have a (well-deserved, IMO) reputation for being brutish, simply, and inelegantly built on the outside, especially as compared to the beautiful buildings from the earlier eras.

Server side rendering almost always means implementing the same feature twice, once on the server so it loads correct, and then a second time on the frontend so it changes as the user modifies it.
At what point does this start to cut down on actual sales volume?

eBay (mentioned in the article) has gotten pretty bad in this way lately. There are plenty of categories where the sponsored listings are a tiny or non-representative subset of the whole.

So if you start browsing by jumping from suggestion to suggestion, you rapidly exhaust the available paid listings. Will customers recognize they aren't seeing everything, then continue to dig and search to find more, or will they decide they're out of luck and leave?

I could imagine tweaking it to a feed where paid listings are n times more likely to be shown, but filling in a few slots from random unadvertised products in the category.
Ellis Act is different than Owner Move-In (which covers family members too).

Ellis Act, named after the law, was created as the govt can’t compel you to rent - you have the right to remove your home from the rental market.

” The Ellis Act (California Government Code Chapter 12.75)[1] is a 1985 California state law that allows landlords to evict residential tenants to "go out of the rental business" in spite of desires by local governments to compel them to continue providing rental housing.”

> I think it's possible to care about both and not eating meat is a relatively easy way to reduce one.

The downsides make it considerably less than "easy". Easy is continuing with the status quo; and as that is certainly likely to be the case for billions of people who have no interest in your uber-rationalist argumentation, I can happily just continue as is, with zero impact to my life until some vociferous person tries to actually make it harder for us to get meat. Then you'll see some real pushback.

Go ahead and live in the pod and eat bugs; the rest of us who are interested in living well and reproducing won't miss you.

I know of open access journals which are run very cheaply. Basically they need web hosting, a web site, and some hosting of papers. There are even arxiv overlay journals which host the papers on the arxiv. Obviously they can be more expensive if papers are printed and distributed.

I don’t know about other fields but in mathematics the editors and reviewers are not paid (and I think this is the norm in science but not sure about medicine. I think sometimes the chief editor gets some relatively small payment). But it seems to me that these are the most valuable parts of the journal. So where is all the money going?

The journals don’t do copy-editing (anymore?) or if they do they are not very good at it. The journals also don’t do the formerly technical work of typesetting anymore, mostly just bunging papers into some kind of template and requiring authors to do half the work of following journal style.

I think the journals aren’t acting as some kind of spam filter before papers get to the (unpaid) editors, except maybe for the biggest journals.

I don’t really buy the argument that big journals fund the little ones because the little journals are given large price tags and libraries do not get the option to exclude them from subscriptions.

FWIW my theory about the large university press building for my university is that it contains a lot of printed material waiting for shipping, possibly contains (or was designed to contain) printing presses, and is enlarged by a business printing some (high school level) examination papers that are used by many schools internationally, though I’m not sure the press prints them and not some other business.

It's not curmudgeonly to not be interested. But I'm always surprised when people feel the need to comment about their disinterest, and more surprised when such comments do well.
