Are you sure? Since for PostgreSQL an atomic snapshot is enough. It is only when you do not have access to atomic snapshots that you strictly need to use the online backup api. And, yes, it will have to do a crash recovery when you first use the backup but if you cannot trust crash recovery you can't really trust your database at all.
of course they do - these interest payment isn't investment cost that can be claimed.

And the interest payment is profit to the banks/lender, and thus, they pay tax on profits (less expenses).

I imagine this might be implicit in your comment, but it's politically much easier to bring in a rent cap ("protecting the hard-working families of Berlin") than hand out building permits ("overdevelopment!") Issuing more building permits also takes a long time to have any effect on rents, so by the time it takes effect the politician who brought it in is likely to be long gone. More permits will only happen if politicians can stop bickering amongst themselves and agree that more housing is the way forward (which it clearly is, compared to rent controls).

> the ringing tone you hear as a caller is simply ingested by your network operator

In my experience this depends on the network in question: SIP supports "early media" and I've seen it in action a few times. You can tell by the fact that phone UIs usually don't count connection time in that state, yet you can hear a prerecorded announcement, music mixed with the dialing tone etc.

I remember some creative uses of this as well: If you controlled the signalling stack, it was possible to keep a connection open in this state indefinitely without either end getting charged.

Here's a relevant RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3960
So you're saying that they'd bankrupt themselves, rather than pay off the loan?

And i'm sure the banks lending out the money will want to have a way to hold on to the collateral.
To be a little pedantic, I'm not sure "under exaggerate" is a valid phrase. What you're looking for may be "under-report"?
It's worse. Many (most?) Landlords already established so called shadow rents months or years ago in case the rent cap wasn't legal.
This allows them to retroactively collect the difference of the past rents. So a lot of tenants will now have to pay massive sums to their landlords.
This is the first programming language I touched. Still missing REPEAT 5[FD 80 RT 144]
Yes, but how much would such a reform cost and is it even possible with only money? Being effective means counting how much good you’re doing per one dollar.
Curious, what are those laws and regulations that apply in Berlin and are different from any other german city?
They're building housing all the time. There are 3-4 housing blocks being build near me. One office building being built. Everyone keeps acting like they can just build new housing over night.

To be fair, construction work in Berlin is super slow.
There’s a good number of reputable top of the industry companies who went the SPAC route. Off the top of my head: United Wholesale Mortgage, DraftKings, Desktop Metal, ChargePoint
The Berlin senate knew the Mietendeckel was on the balance of probabilities unconstitutional, but they went ahead with it anyway. Not a single new apartment was built with this law. Total and utter waste.
If the banks are willing to lend at this low rate, so be it. It simply means money is cheap.
I've only briefly played with Twilio, but would it be possible for your app/TwilML to intercept the request to send a text to those numbers, and detect a volume of X messages being sent to the same number (highly unlikely) and abort?
Has Berlin built over all its brownfields? If so, very commendable.

Here in Prague we have quite a few brownfields that could be home to at least 50 thousand people (Rohanský ostrov, Bubny, Kolbenova), but the development is extremely slow.

If you did this to me during an interview, I would try as best as I could to give you an answer in the 5 or so minutes left of the interview. Then, in my feedback, I would strongly recommend not hiring you as a bad personality fit.

I also don't really ask "trick" questions (I try to select questions based on what the CV indicates would be a strong area for the specific candidate), the closest I get to that is probably when it comes to service monitoring (where the exact final answer is less interesting than the process of getting there).
A well praised password manager that unfortunately will never be useful for the non-tech people, at least for me. I saw so many wonderful reviews, recommendations and reports about the simplicity of using it. And the level of excitement from the reviewers made me think I should try it as soon as possible. But with only basic-medium Linux skills I will never be able to install pass. I looked everywhere for step by step tutorials on how to run it, but there‘s always a „skipped“ step or a small „something“ that will lead me to failure (despite of spending hours in searching how to do this part). Unfortunately I had to give it up and started to use bitwarden.
Same with etesync - no way to use it, even the paid version with hosting on the developer‘s server gave me a hard time. I could never use it right: android, iphone or macos. So back to Apple‘s calendar or some other easy alternative.

The thing is they might not be, but there's strong evidence that crows can communicate the appearance of people to other crows so they can all agree on which people have been historically hostile towards the flock.

So it might be the same crows...or some crows which have been told to watch out for that dog.

I think that stuff was not a reflection on forums or moderation in general but specific to the time that Slashdot was born in.

Rob Malda had a very strong pro free-speech stance and so the site developed this odd sub-culture early on that was very self-referential and filled with Slashdot specific memes. In fact Slashdot had memes before memes even became a widely used word. Natalie Portman+hot grits etc.

I think it attracted people who enjoyed the thrill of being able to "publish" anything at all. I am very skeptical those people actually said those sorts of things or even believed them in real life, because most of the racial troll posts were almost entirely template and extremely repetitive in meme-like ways, most of them were barely coherent: they weren't people genuinely trying to convince anyone of anything.

There was a second factor that I suspect was also 'encouraging' trolls at this time: Slashdot's combination of "We never delete a post for any reason", allowing anonymous comments and a very sophisticated moderation system turned it into a game for some people. There were people who just enjoyed trying to break the site by doing things that you don't see on any other forum. For instance there was a period where people kept coming up with creative abuses of Unicode to construct page widening posts, stuff like that. You had a lot of creative programmer types faced with something that was an utterly pure system, designed to stop abuse with no human-level decisions to beat, and no legal penalties for trying. So it turned into a form of lightweight hacking practice, both machine and social, without any actual legal risk.

These days people who enjoy finding exploits in computer systems for the sheer thrill of it have plenty of more profitable outlets, like the zero day hunt programs run by big companies. If someone were to try creating a new Slashdot and recapturing the glory days I think they'd be faced with a totally different set of problems.

There is a very strong incentive for Bitcoin proponents to push this narrative but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Proof of Stake is more secure than Proof of Work because it's not possible to use external resources to take control of the system. The cost of hijacking PoS is exponential, not linear.

With PoW, someone who has no stake in the network could buy or rent mining hardware using fiat and take control of the network for a linear cost - This is because, unlike cryptocurrency tokens, hardware is not a scarce resource; it's always possible to produce more of it.

With PoS, the only way to take control of the network is to buy more than 50% of all tokens. The cost of acquiring 50% of all tokens is non-linear since tokens become more expensive as the attacker purchases more. This is because the attacker will generate continuous demand against fixed supply of tokens; in accordance with the law of supply and demand, the price will keep increasing as they buy more tokens. Also, the incentive to follow through on the attack decreases as the attacker accumulates more tokens.
SQLite has good documentation. It covers multithreading and multi-process access too:

https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q5

https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q6

https://www.sqlite.org/threadsafe.html

TL;DR:

- Multiple processes can read the database, but only one can write at any given time; this is enforced using FS locking.

- For threading, there are three modes SQLite can operate in: single-threaded (unsafe for use in multiple threads), multi-threaded (safe to use in multiple threads, as long as each thread establishes its own connection) and serialized (do whatever you like, however you like).

- The caveat for threading is that if SQLite was compiled with -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0 (i.e. single-threaded), then multi-threaded and serialized modes cannot be enabled at runtime, because locking code gets compiled out of the binary.

I don't follow you. Why limiting the prices for renting, will be less rentable properties, the point of this is to make rentable properties have a price where people can rent a property to live.

The rental situation is bleak. There's a two class system of people who got cheap housing 20 years ago and can never move (like in New York). If they move, they keep the apartment and sublet it.

Then there is a massive indiscriminate sellout of property to very rich foreigners. In some top locations you hear more Russian than German in the streets.

Otherwise, in the lower segments there is enormous pressure from refugees, who get government aid while low income Germans do not.

The people who decide everything (Red/Green party) most have cheap apartments that they got 20 years ago. They don't suffer from their own policies.
This will hurt the normal people and benefit big housing corporations only...
Technology is going to make it possible to follow all the people all the time.

Cheap satellites and drones means a camera or antenna following you every second, whenever you want it or not. Cheap cameras and AI means you are tracked in the subway, and on the street, like in London, Beijing or Shanghai.

Your physical movements, your pace and your stance will be recorded so they could identify you by your movement alone.

Movements will be analyzed for atypicals like they do in China.

A city will be recorded from above all the time like the US military does so they could go "backwards" after something happens.

In the past living on a city was freedom from being observed all the time by your neighbors like in small villages. In the future it means the opposite because it makes economic sense to put technology in the cities when lots of people will be controlled.

This should be regulated and will be regulated because the potential for abuse is tremendous or we will live in dystopia, with freedom and autonomy eradicated.

Right, but if your only exposure to the stuff has been the super market crap, why would you think to make your own?
most contracts drawn up during the "the law is being challenged" period have a "shadow rent" where you agree to pay the difference to what the rent is without the cap.

I.e: "it's x euros _now_, but if/when it's repealed, you'll pay y euros, and the difference between the two"
Depends where you live, I guess. Gentrification is a problem, so, I agree.
Same here. The city itself should build as many cheap rental apartments as possible, also in more higher-priced areas to keep the pricing there in check. Building more housing is the only way out of this soaring pricing.

EDIT: not only rental apartments of course but more housing in general.

A second step would be, to make sure that rental housing is used for that instead of AirBNB or any other investment. It would also help to reduce land transfer tax if someone then lives in the bought flat. Speculators and builders anyway get around it in the long term by founding businesses that buy apartment blocks (pay the tax once) and then later only trade the shares of these businesses.

And last but not least, they should stop to discuss dispossessing property. It does not solve anything but wastes time and energy.
Surely a rent cap is a clear sign that there is demand though?
Rent control doesn’t work, and never will. It is utterly ignorant of economic reality. Economists on almost all sides have admitted this at this point. The only people left clinging on to the idea are politicians who do it to pander to people for votes.
Every other day there's a "Use SQLite for everything" article on HN, yet like all RDBMS it's good for certain things and not so much for other things.
The problem is ESA/Arianespace rocket simply operate very differently.

Because of solid boosters and hydrogen first stage, the first stage for their rocket reaches a far higher speed then SpaceX first stage does. And that makes it much harder to recover, and much more costly.

SpaceX regularly recovers boosters for GEO missions and soon even moon missions, because it doesn't matter so much for them, the profile of the first stage is not all that different.

If the Falcon 9 can't handle it, they rather use the Falcon Heavy and land that, rather then throw away a Falcon 9 core. Only in the most extreme situation, would Falcon Heavy drop its core booster. SpaceX has 1 mission on its books that will require the Falcon Heavy booster to expand its core. The side booster would still land in this case.

So SpaceX has 100+ launches on its manifest right now and of all those a single launch is planned to not fully reuse its first stage.

> I would love to see SpaceX financials

Your not the only one. We have lots of different analysis that have been done and most put marginal internal cost for a SpaceX mission to 20-30 million. And SpaceX sells launches for 60M, with extra cost depending on what costumers ask for.
The amount of unused space is Berlin is just so massive. Even in Friedrichstraße, which is a hype neighborhood with great amount of activity, you have hundreds of square meters completely unused, with wild plants growing around and random waste accumulating.

From what I understand it is very difficult to do something with that space, either because people refuse to sell or because of bureaucratic red tape.
In Belgium they build a lot of social housing on unique land ( I think there's a requirement of 20% social housing on every large-scale building initiative for every city)

Since it's the government that gives it to private contractors , the city builds more social housing than giving land for "normal" housing.

Creating a continuous loop of more expensive prices for normal houses and more social houses ( government sponsored) being build.

It's ridiculous.
We had same thing in Poland in early 2000s
Please no suburban sprawl while Berlin still has such low density compared to other cities. There are still lots of fairly central areas with single family homes. Just upzone them and let people get rich selling their land to developers.
They are building a massive amount of houses, but they are too expensive for the average Berlin citizen.
It will affect them.

The court overturning the cap means that renters will have to pay whatever they agreed to in their rental contracts, even if much higher than what they had to pay when the cap was active. Even worse, the landlords may request you pay back the difference you "saved" between the time the cap came into effect and now.

If you entered a new renting agreement post cap, the landlord might have kind of written the cap into the terms as "shadow rents" [other commenters mentioned]. Read your contract very carefully. But even if you're good there, the landlord may try to have the contract invalidated by a court (probably not going to happen), or legally cancel the contract (after the normal notification period required by law) and offer to make a new contract with higher prices.
Who would do that? The same people with an incentive to restrict supply? Call me cynical but that's how it works elsewhere.
