Why can you say that someone harming you is violating your rights? That presumes there is some objective truth determining what rights you have. Even if you believe in God or a creator or similar, that everyone has certain inalienable rights granted by that God/creator, there is quite a bit of difference over what those rights are, or how they're to be carried out, and -certainly- claims of "my rights!" don't seem to invoke that God/creator to do anything for you.

Governments upholding 'rights', then, only makes sense to talk about from a social contract perspective; what do we, as a society, decide people have a right to. We can decide people have a right to freedom from harm, or we can abridge that right (as we do when punishing someone). We can decide kids have a right to education, a right to clean drinking water, etc, or not.

"Healthcare is a right" is, obviously, not a statement of fact (it currently is not), but a statement of what should be, an implicit belief of what society should adhere to. It's no more and no less accurate to say it's a right than to say "a right to liberty" is a right; it's up to society to adopt any such claim and adhere to it.

And that distinction is true whether it's a positive or negative right, and a completely different discussion.

Also, I think what's really interesting is that with his feedback, could the language be actually be adapted to the kernel?

This would be fascinating because traditionally the code (the kernel in this case) has to adapt to the foibles of C. This could be the reverse, where not only could the language adapt, it might make the kernel technically better, and easier to read and modify.

If you have 30 offers within 2 days, but then reject them all waiting for another buyer, the buyer you wait for has to outbid the 30 previous buyers to make it worthwhile. The likelihood of that is slim.

Most serious buyers are ready to go in this market and will come in strong with their best offer days after it hits the market.

Plus, realtors put a lot of pressure on sellers to accept an offer especially when it's over asking price. They'd rather have 2 sales a week at 98% of max price than 1 sale a week at 100% of max price.

Yeah, see this section of the documentation: https://juliagpu.gitlab.io/CUDA.jl/development/profiling/. CUDA.jl also supports NVTX, wraps CUPTI, etc. The full extent of the APIs and tools is available.

Source line association when using PC sampling is currently broken due to a bug in the NVIDIA drivers though (segfaulting when parsing the PTX debug info emitted by LLVM), but I'm told that may be fixed in the next driver.

If your comment was some kind joke please disregard my comment.

Sorry to see you getting down voted into the basement, I too am a devout theist. I don't think the nature of your argument being theistic is the primary reason you are getting down voted though. I think if you built a stronger set of arguments about why this matters and how it relates to humans deserving a better level of treatment than other animals your comment would fair better.

A decent example might be something like,
"As a Christian, I believe all humans are made in the image and likeness of God. This gives humans a special place in the order of the universe in Gods eyes and God asks us to respect that view in relation to how we treat other human beings. Giving humans a higher level of reverence than other animals. Being made in Gods likeness is also a reflection of the higher order cognitive, spiritual, and social faculties that humans share and other animals often don't display. Although we do see animals having some advanced emotions or social ordering we don't see them simultaneously containing all the high order functions that humanity does at once"

I wrote Christian because I'm a Christian, you might be part of any religion or none. Something like the above comment might be more constructive in the future best wishes.

For those who don’t know, it’s a story worth telling: Rabbits on my grandma’s fields (France) have red eyes. All because of Australia ;)

Rabbits were introduced to Australia to get rid of other pests.

Then myxomatosis was engineered circa 1950 to get rid of rabbits. It killed 95% of them in 5 years. The 5% reproduced and now all rabbits in Australia have myxomatosis.

The researcher wanted to get rid of rabbits in his garden in UK. He brought myxomatosis back and 95% UK rabbits were killed in 2 years. The 5% regrew and all UK rabbits are myxo-resistant.

It spread to France. But I guess, by now, you know the story ;) Hence the story of the red-eyed rabbits.

Ask $140k more.

The realtor wants a low price for a quick sale. Their commission is on the total purchase price.

If you have a mortgage, your profits are all on the back end. If you get $10,000 more the realtor only makes some fraction of $700...about $200 assuming 50/50 agency split and 40/60 broker-agent split.

You make $9300.

The incentives are grossly misaligned when it comes to getting full market value. The agent has almost no incentive. You have high incentive.

If the price is too high, someone can always low ball.

I wonder too how much of the housing demand is for legit dwellers and how much is for money launderers looking for a safe place to park money. I've always suspected that condos in big cities are semi-fungible places to put money you want to hide from people.
Anybody have a billion dollars and want to go build some new cities from scratch? Seems like now would be a good time.

The labor and material shortages are definitely complicating factors, but historically the biggest problem is that places with a lot of jobs tend to not permit much housing to be built in the first place, thus the recent labor and material problems are merely compounding a regulatory created deficit.

Edit: to riff on this more, in most of the world you can make decent bricks by baking the dirt underneath your feet (not quite that easy, but close). A lot of places also have ample quarryable stone. So if you had sufficient capital and a bit of know how to get it started, you could set up a new city with a largely local material supply. You’d have to import some labor, but labor shortages are more a function of regional wages than of there literally being no one around willing to work. The hardest part is the location, as you’d need to find a place that was close enough to vibrant economic centers to pull in jobs, but not within the regulatory ice bath of those same places. That’s a tough one, but there are some places that could work.
>telling them they don't have the right to make that choice is arrogant and moralizing BS

I never did this and was quite clear that some choose this willingly vs making the choice due to drug addiction or some other tragic reason. However, taking advantage of another persons drug addiction and getting them to sleep with you in exchange for more money to buy the drug is the same thing as taking advantage of someone's down syndrome in exchange for money to buy candy. It simply isn't something that someone who isn't a predator does.
And of course, study participants are way too often 18-24 year olds who happen to go to college. Such a tiny slice of the general population.

It gets worse. Typically 18-24 year olds who happen to go to the same college as the researcher is working at. So, for example, if this is a large state school then it is a population selected for having SAT scores in a range. Namely above the cutoff to get into the school, but below the cutoff for more desirable schools.

Now suppose that you're doing ability testing. You should expect that any pair of unrelated abilities that help you on SATs will be inversely correlated, because being good at the one thing but landing in that range means you have to be worse at something else. And sometimes that will be the other thing you're looking at.

Several years ago I remember running into a bunch of popular science articles that I found dubious. I tracked down the paper and decided that their analysis suffered from exactly that flaw.

Presumably most buildings are painted. My house for example. If painting it white saves %10 of my energy costs in the summer, how is that anything but a net positive? BTW, I’m in the market for a new roof. I’m going white painted metal.

Are double pane windows, solar panels, and insulation also gadgetry hype?
Agreed. This growth cannot continue. But I feel like I've said that before over the last 30+ years.

Houses are so expensive, and rising so quickly for shite buildings, that it is unnerving. I recently looked up my first house I bought in 1991 for $100K in Emeryville and it is going for $900K now. There's no effing way I could afford to live in my old house, my salary/net-work didn't increase 10x in 30 years. This is scary as hell.

First quote isn't exact, so I'm not sure what you're addressing.

If you buy properties not for self use, you can hold them indefinitely and have an income stream. If you buy a share of a company and hold it indefinitely you can have an income stream. There is no equivalent in cryptocurrencies. You buy it and hope you can sell at a later date for a higher price.

Investing versus speculation.
To address your edit, it is possible and perfectly reasonable for prices to be dropping in San Francisco, while still having a massive shortfall of housing units and prices to be skyrocketing elsewhere.

Prices will continue to go up significantly in places that are deemed desirable to live in until the prices are so high as to deter enough demand, then price growth should stabilize somewhat or recede if the market overshot.

When will this end? When there are enough houses to house people in the places they want to be housed.
Many here are correct that the Kelly criterion is relatively useless compared to standard portfolio management techniques for a basket of assets.

However... I will say that it's incredible useful when deciding on more high risk bets based on binary outcomes which is not something portfolio managers would dream of doing for their clients. Consider a long dated call spread on the SPY that goes out to 12/2023.

Say you think the SPY will be over $600. Today, for $140 of risk, you stand to make $1,860 if you're right if you buy a $570 call and sell a $590.

This is exactly what Kelly was made for.

The proper strategy, IMO, is to find a comfortable allocation for trades of this sort as a portion of an overall portfolio (Say 1-2%), then of that percentage use Kelly to allocate capital to different bets of this nature to lower the variance.

So sure, Kelly isn't useful for portfolio management writ large, but for managing a portfolio of binary trades, it's a useful metric.

What if the dollar is about to take a dip that it's never been seen before and people are locking out wealth into these homes, would that be a bad thing? I'm not talking about very expensive homes in very desired places, recently the mid covid trend to buy homes outside large cities due to not having to be in close proximity to offices made prices go up significantly. It may sound like a bad deal but if one takes a mortgage now for x amount (which seems high), that amount would mean a lot less in the not so distant future so even if prices come down a bit it might still be a potential good achievement.

The commercial tools are indeed very expensive but the required data files can be as much of a problem. Normally you have to sign a bunch of NDAs (non disclosure agreements) to get your hands on the design rules and standard cell libraries supplied by the foundries and required to make the tools work.

One effort to organize several previously available open source tools into a practical system is OpenLane, which is based on the DARPA OpenRoad project:

https://woset-workshop.github.io/PDFs/2020/a21.pdf

Recently, Google has financed a project where a foundry has made its data files available without any NDAs:

https://github.com/google/skywater-pdk

The combination has made it possible to have completely open source chip designs.
Right. Aedes aegypti is native to Africa (as one might guess from the name), and is essentially an invasive species elsewhere in the world.

If anything, wiping them out should push the local ecosystem back toward its normal state, as the native species of mosquito (of which there are many) would face less competition from the invasive Aedes aegypti.

This just isn’t true, it is only a contradiction if the type of housing remains constant, which it does in zero-development, extreme-construction-cost markets like San Francisco where public policy forbids the modification of (almost) any housing to increase density.

If the housing supply rises, this puts downward pressure on home prices, which means they stop being a good investment.

Consider a hypothetical where no new housing was built for a decade, and existing housing is wildly overpriced. If your thesis is correct, then someone buying on the last day of the building moratorium is not making a good investment, because prices will either drop, or stagnate right after they bought.
> HTB is only available on new homes so not removing any stock

Okay, increasing the supply of housing will lower prices regardless of whether they are rented out or bought.

> Someone is either willing to pay £1k a month for renting a place or not, they care not for the cost of the house they are renting.

Sure, but landlords do care and won't buy property to make it available for renting if they don't expect to be able to cover the cost. This decreases the supply of rental housing, which means fewer options and higher prices for tenants. If they already own the property and can't manage to get tenants paying rent which represents a competitive return on their capital (i.e. the current market value of the property) then they'll sell to someone looking to either own the property outright or demolish it and redevelop some other form of property. Either way it removes the housing from the rental market.

> … now worth about £320k, it's being rented out for £1k a month because people will pay £1k a month …

So the owner is only getting a 3.75% return on their £320k investment. That's not completely terrible, but it still essentially has negative value compared to the opportunity cost of selling the property and investing the proceeds. This is not a sustainable situation.

> … it has nothing to do with how much it was bought for, only what people will pay.

That much is true. The original purchase price doesn't matter in hindsight. (Obviously it does matter when deciding whether the property is worth purchasing to begin with.) Aside from calculating capital gains/loss for taxes, what counts after the purchase is only what the property would sell for now, not the amount that was originally paid.
It usually does. If a company really cares to follow GAAP to the letter, teams are supposed to estimate how much of their work should be categorized as maintenance or keeping the lights on, and that counts towards OpEx, while development work counts towards CapEx (R&D).

Context is that Companies prefer to spend capex, because it produces “depreciable assets” (your soon to be legacy software system), that make financials look better.

Then they use this to allocate a proportion of the salary towards one bucket or another.

Of course the lines are fuzzy and arbitrary in many cases, but 80/20 Cap/Op is the typical net distribution in departments that employ software engineers, from what I’ve seen.
Hmm, I think I understand where we have a misunderstanding. I - and presumably many others - interpreted the article to make the claim that newer Go versions are producing more bloated Go executables. There are multiple parts of the article which can be read that way. But if you're not doing that, and you're just trying to investigate why the CockroachDB binary is getting bigger over time, then that's a different matter.

I'm not going to respond point by point because those points are kind of moot if my accusations were based on an incorrect reading.

I'm saying I'm not sure how you'd measure "educated". Many subjects aren't well suited to testing, and even for those that are, the tests don't often correlate all that well to problem-solving ability, insight, or other valuable skills.

You can measure wealth, but I'm suggesting that wealth outcomes has more to do with your life circumstances than with how much knowledge you acquire in school (by whatever mechanism you would measure that).
