That's the downside of rent control. Rent ends up being stable and predictable for tenants, but it reduces the landlord's incentive to fix thing when they break and to make improvements (though many rent control laws, including SF's, still allow landlords to pass some of the cost of capital improvements to renters).

Even when rent control continues to be active, landlords have an incentive to want to get their tenants out, because (at least in SF), a new tenant can be charged market rate when they move in (and then that rate is locked in with limited yearly increases until they leave).

When rent control in Berkeley ended, but existing tenants grandfathered in, the landlords were incentivized even more than usual to do things to make a tenant want to leave, since then they'd have a completely non-rent-controlled unit again.

It's not only bad behavior on the landlords' side. Tenants are incentivized to hold onto the unit as long as possible, even if they want or need to move out for a while. They'll often illegally sublet the place and hope the landlord doesn't come by to check on them until after they move back in. But they're also in some ways trapped: they may want to move, but know that they'll face a huge rent increase in their new place, so they stay put.

Honestly I can't really blame landlords or tenants for their bad behavior under rent control; the rules around it only tend to provide one good outcome: rent stable and increases are predictable. Other outcomes are usually negative, and that's an inherent property of the system. But that one good outcome is often good enough to justify keeping rent control around.
All rent control says is that you can't raise rent more than x% a year. In my city that is 4%. For a landlord, being able to raise rent 4% a year is a great thing; that's a 15% increase every 3 years. Not all real estate markets even support that level of growth, my rent in collegetown USA was stagant for my four years, but for places where rents surge by double digits a year it puts some brakes in place, since wages don't follow suit with a double digit hike a year.

In a world where wages aren't going up by that much, rent control is needed to protect workers from price gouging by scrupulous landlords taking advantage of a sellers market. I don't know why so many are against simple consumer side protections such as preventing price gouging on shelter; we make it (sensibly) illegal to price gouge on food and water and other essential goods, but shelter is somehow an investment.
It's entirely possible you have a language barrier, but you should know that there's a meaningful difference between past and present tense when you're representing what other people said.

(Edit: added clarification of which speaker's tense was important)

I'm not sure I understand this. Those shells only have 90% of bash functionality, but are somehow more portable?

I get the POSIX argument, but I'm not sure I agree. In my experience at least, POSIX is less supported than bash.

I'm pretty confident that any random terminal I have to ssh into will have a bash shell. I ssh into a lot of terminals.

I know where you're coming from, it just doesn't chime with my personal experience.
There's nothing in that code that says that any of those parameters have to be ints. They're certainly expecting ints, but there's no casts in that code that would enforce that. Presumably somewhere upstream they're just passing directly from the POST/querystring into these API functions.

Remember: Ruby is a dynamically typed language.
I really think a semantic facelift would do wonders for ADA, and shouldn't make much of a difference for readability. I know a lot of people are turned off by this.
Why are we randomly forcing residents to leave? Why don't we just take the available housing stock and divide it between old and new residents in a rational manner? Should an individual or family be kicked to the curb just because someone has a preference for living somewhere? What if they could prove a necessity?

There's a lot to be said for knowing that once you pick a place to live you can depend on it being there as long as you need it and can develop a community, take risks in other areas of life, etc.
I noticed this as well. They need to get their act together before they lose (more) trust.
Exactly this. There are some logistical complexities (e.g. some of our bandwidth is funded by the E-Rate Universal Service Program for libraries which runs on a July-June fiscal year and so rapid upgrades on that front aren't possible), but by and large egress bandwidth isn't our primary challenge. Intersite links as I noted in the video are the current big one, and that can and does involve occasional time-consuming construction -- but honestly over the past year, a combination of total blowout of my usual capacity planning (including equipment budgets) plus the logistical complexities of lockdown have resulted in slowness to upgrade as fast as we'd like to.
Other problem is forest and jungle clearings to make land for cattle farming. Mostly in Brazil in Amazon but elsewere too.
If you use a modern protocol, doing (2) doesn't make any difference for this purpose on its own.

The server's long term private key for say, TLS 1.3 (and the popular modes of TLS 1.2 but we'll sidestep discussing that) doesn't help you decrypt the messages. Its purpose is only to produce proof (by signing the transcript) that you're really you.

There are two plausible choices you could make to achieve the goal you've described other than your suggestion (1)

The first option is you send the ephemeral session secrets, if the hypothetical Bad Guys you want to help are only interested in retrospectively decrypting transmissions you could even batch these secrets up and send them over periodically, one flash drive full of secrets at a time for example.

The other alternative is that you choose one (or a few) value for your supposedly ephemeral random choice in ECDH and communicate this value to the Bad Guys. This is of course detectable by your peers, some systems may in fact detect this already. By knowing what your choice will be in ECDH they can figure out the agreed session secrets each time.

Unlike your option (2) this is not very subtle. Why are flash drives full of secret data sent to the KGB every morning? Or why does your "secure" server always pick 7 as its random number?

Surviving rifle fire has been a solved problem since like, the bronze age. Add more metal. Getting to and landing on another planet (intact and functional) on the other hand, is probably like 3 orders of magnitude higher in difficulty.
To the people illegally micro-dosing: Why would you open yourself up to the liability of committing a felony crime for a placebo effect? The risk vs reward doesn’t seem to pan out for me.
You know I was about to say something about how your fridge draws so much more power than these probes, but actually I just googled it and they're pretty close. Today I learned.

(I don't know how much power the probes actually use, but anyway the wattage of the RTG itself is pretty close to the steady state power consumption of a fridge.)
Few San Francisco new constructions have pools, and I don’t see how putting some exercise equipment in what would otherwise be a storage closet makes a building luxury. That can’t be more than a few basis points of total project cost.

It's mostly feel-good greenwashing, as far as I can tell.

Bill Gates recommends a company for doing offsetting that actually pulls carbon out of the air and sequesters it underground, removing it from the carbon cycle: https://climeworks.com/subscriptions

It appears to cost ~$1/kg, but I'm guessing that will come down substantially if they're able to scale it up.
For that project I just imported it on to a single page to build one particularly complex (for me) feature. It was a little news letter builder which generated a JSON string for the config and saves it to the db. The backend could then use that config to send emails.

I was getting nowhere with jQuery. My final solution in vue was tiny compared to just setting up all the event listeners on the first try.
> Meanwhile, those who consumed the drugs but thought they were taking a placebo experienced no significant increase in wellbeing.

It's wild that there was a part of this study in which people were told that they weren't taking a psychadelic, but they were taking a psychadelic.
What could they do with the waste instead, if they don't have collection?

Sadly personal devices live a hard life. My wife's Time Round bit the dust and nothing out there really looks the same.

Edit: Okay, a Pebble would probably not be the top of my list in 2021 for a new purchase but the one on my wrist is doing just fine for me right now.
They do tell you it's from the PBS Infinite Series, if only in an indirect way. The exact video is "Can We Hear Shapes?"

Show me what data they have sold and to who.

Evidence.

We have evidence that Facebook directly sold user data to Cambridge.

What Google sells is targeted advertising. Eg, "We can directly display your ad to those are most likely to appreciate it."

Google hasn't done the equivalent of "Here's our user data, do what you want."

Not one person has been able to provide any evidence that Google has taken user data and sold it to another.
NYC is one of the few places in the United States building truly luxurious condos. The per unit construction cost of new construction in San Francisco is probably within 20% of 100% affordable non-profit developer built subsidized housing (which runs at around $850k/unit).

What a dumb comment.

I can't wait until all humans are dead.
Agreed here. More and more data is semi structured and can benefit from ES (or mongo) making it easily exploitable. It's a big part of why logstash and elastic came to be.

One of the most beautiful use cases I've ever seen for elasticsearch was custom nginx access log format in json (with nearly every possible field you could want), logged directly over the network (syslogd in nginx over udp) to a fluentd server setup to parse that json + host and timestamp details before bulk inserting to elastic.

You could spin up any nginx container or vm with those two config lines and every request would flow over the network (no disk writes needed!) and get logged centrally with the hostname automatically tagged. It was doing 40k req/s on a single fluentd instance when I saw it last and you could query/filter every http request in the last day (3+bn records...) in realtime.

Reach out to datadog and ask how much they would charge for 100bn log requests per month.
I will always chuckle at people who are running their own mail infrastructure because "Its more secure than trusting the cloud with my data".

They always seem to have issues with their DMARC and SPF for some reason. And never are able to setup encryption or other stuff like that. And they always seem to have issues with spam and malware... Weird.
The whole get 10+ prototypes from various places, stick them in a big ass vacuum chamber, and try to make them fly was interesting. Turns out a torque rotor doesn't work there.

With $80m, the military industrial complex would figure out that pink and yellow don't work well for urban camouflage.
Per the article, there seems to be a lot of value in doing something that you expect will improve your life, even if the actual effect is indiscernible from a placebo. (Plus, this ignores non-microdosing, which is certainly not placebo effect.)
"Federal law doesn’t require someone to know of a patent to be found to have infringed it, and Intel purposely didn’t look to see if it was using someone else’s inventions, he said. He accused the Santa Clara, California-based company of “willful blindness."

I realize this is not how it works, but if they purposely didn't look for infringement, and infringed, that seems to me like a pretty strong argument that the patented stuff was "obvious" to "one skilled in the art".
I think you greatly exaggerate the risk and ignore that people who do it don't think it's placebo.

> How do you come to such a conclusion when there have been many languages whose success was specifically tied to the fact that they were dynamically typed? Doesn't that indicate a pain point?

How do you come to the pain point conclusion about static types, rather than prior art static type systems, when the vast majority of tooling around the most popular dynamically typed language explicitly dedicates resources and visibility to its most popular static type system?
Seriously, check out the code in pkg/wg. The code you need is like 4 lines (get a working WireGuard connection first, outside of your code, and then bring the configuration --- keys, addresses --- into your code); everything else will be normal Go code.

I would take credit for this, but it's Ben's c--- hey, wait, I paid Ben Burkert for this, I'm going to take full credit.
Not quite true. California passed statewide rent control at inflation + 5% in 2019. Now some have moved the goalposts and called that rent stabilization instead of control because it allow rents to increase.

New construction is exempt, though.
The Wisdom of Rationals (2020)
Data comes from Perseverance through two channels:

* A low-bandwidth direct link to Earth (160bps-800bps depending on receiver dish- no, that's not a typo)

* A high-bandwidth link to orbiting satellites, which then forward traffic to Earth (~2Mbps for the rover->orbit hop, anywhere from 0.5-4Mbps for the orbit->Earth) .

I strongly suspect that the low-bandwidth telemetry signals - equivalent to the homemade reception from satellites I've heard of - are sent in the clear. Bandwidth is just too precious to waste.

I would not be surprised either way for the image data - on the one hand, computing power is relatively scarce, while on the other hand it already has to go through a compression pipeline.

One person doing something in the face of billions of others is the entire opposite of pointless. Giving up because you're one person and you can't magically transform the entire world is cynical, a cop-out and completely misunderstands the nature of the problem.

The world won't change overnight, it won't immediately flip from the actions of one individual, or two, or even 1 thousand or 1 million. But that doesn't mean the action is pointless.

Change requires momentum, momentum requires the actions of an individual diligently living the change they want to see and sharing it with others. That sort of change builds slowly, often imperceptibly. But before you know it things begin actually changing. So no, this binary attitude of "You can't change everything by your actions so you may as well do nothing" is such an apathetic, cynical cop-out and I hate seeing it spouted everytime you see someone do something positive. As an idea it literally does nothing but harm and it has no value in being said.
Is that how rent control is done in Europe? In the U.S. at least, rent control isn't taking money away from anyone. All rent control stipulates is that for the duration of your lease you cannot raise rent a certain percentage, such as 4% a year. Not having rent control allows rents to exceed earned wages for working people and pushes them to the street sooner than it pushes them out of the city.
I'd be interested in a real answer to this if any nuclear engineers are around
Stunning? Boring is the truth. They look as haphazard and unconsidered shots of earthly, unremarkable, landscape.

NASA needs artists and poetic photographers to capture inspiration on Mars if they want to snare the hearts of the public. What a waste of fortunes if they cannot do that.

If only the images were as great as the feat and engineering itself.
It's annoying that it returns a NodeList which doesn't have some common array-y methods and the like. While these aliases are certainly convenient, the jQuery semantics are much nicer and more intuitive IMO.
I highly recommend visiting the museum in Dayton if you're even a slight aviation nerd and happen to be in the region. Its worth the drive. Where else can you see a U2, a B2, an F22, an SR-71, and an F117 all the same hangar? Trick question, they have the only B2 on display!

They have a massive range of the history of aviation with a good mixture of foreign birds as well as US aircraft. I'm personally a fan of those classic Douglas planes, they're so incredibly iconic and have quite a showing at the museum.

EDIT: I guess I should clarify the relation to this article. The actual prototype is housed at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH along with the C-97 that carried it on display. They have a small exhibit with some example photos of its technology. Its literally right next to the B2 on display.
Its a meme. "This kills the crab."
Why is there this pervasive notion that there shouldn’t be any consequence to your words? You are free to vent all you want, and others are free to react to your vents.

For example, do you really expect someone with white supremacist view to show up to work the next day with a bunch of POC and have everyone pretend nothing happened?
It actually does not. Shipping food emits very very little CO2 compared to growing it.

So the most optimum thing (in terms of CO2) is to plant food where it grows best and then ship it.

As an extreme example compare a greenhouse with regular outdoor planting. Or compare growing food where you need a lot of pesticides or fertilizer vs where you do not.

Unless I'm misreading, the study seems to only analyze the participant's self-evaluation of their emotions. In other words it provides no evidence for/against "boosted levels of creativity, empathy".
Micro-dosing also feels quite nice. It has a major mood-brightening effect. It's the main reason I do it. I don't even think it improves work at all. But if you're happier you might do better work.
You're absolutely right. Pardon me. I should have written the more specific 'use-after-free'.
If a majority of software developers had your attitude towards static types all dynamic typed languages (maybe except for JS) would have died out by now.

> If this is "over-engineering" then I think that says a lot about how much thought, design and engineering goes into some of these code bases.

Does that mean no thought and design went into all the huge protects like Instagram, Netflix and Whatsapp (that use dynamically typed languages)? Design and engineering is much more then just adding types. Clean design patterns, good code, tests and docs are pretty important too. In fact they are much more important then just static types.
Types do make sense to me, but they didn't always. You're certainly welcome in my world. You're also welcome to reach out if you want to gab and learn a little about how learning static types has improved my engineering life and skills. Easy to find contact from my profile.

It turns out it is not Frances Allen, if you're wondering.
Just from a look at the chart, it seems there is so a lot of room for qualitatively awesome effects from the drug itself, with the caveat being that it depends on the individual.

The headline could be interpreted by some as "hey, the placebo is just as good as the real thing, losers" but this only seems likely to be true for some who are taking it, not all...

Former Facebooker, on the storage team—if a senior engineer* wrote the supplied code, well, I can't say they'd be fired, but it 100% would not reflect well on them come review time. Also, all their peers would know they made the most boneheaded of mistakes, and they would definitely be getting the hairy eyeball come code review.

Raw untrusted string substitution into a SQL query is just unacceptable. It's on the level of storing unhashed passwords, or 1000-line god functions: the kind of mistake you'd expect from a self-taught developer writing PHP in 2002. Literally every popular SQL client and ORM provides quoted substitution; please use it. And, dear reader, if this was news to you, and you write SQL, please go get educated, because it's not the last nor the sneakiest pitfall in this space!

Even if your IoT doesn’t, I recently discovered Home Assistant which can basically tie together most IoT devices out there and give you a consistent platform to work against. A Raspberry Pi 4 is all you really need to get it going or you can even run it inside a Docker container.

If you want IoT hardware you can control, check out Tasmota’s supported hardware list. Guys hardware often times can be easily flashed with it as it is all ESP8266 based, though some disassembly is required. Same with Sonoff products. Some really exciting possibilities here.
I think it's underestimated, how far you can get with a simple dispatch loop, a state tree, and some judicious OO sprinkled in for client widget-bullshit events/lifecycle. I'm not saying it's better than React, but it's underestimated.
Because the code that closes over can be arbitrarily complicated. I simply used code that only called a function with a single argument as a minimal example.

Apart from that, your code technically does not do the same thing as it calls the inner function with two arguments, whereas mine simply discards the second argument.
