Second this ... I've been commuting for about 84 km each way each day for five years ... in Germany with the regional trains that took me about 1.5h (and only 40 minutes of that were actual train ride).

In that time I would start to work (on the clock), just "sleep in" or work on hobby projects.

In the same time a friend of mine in the bay area manages to travel 20 km to the office.

As much as I hated commuting ... I'd take commuting by train over commuting by car every day.

> except landlords have to pass those expenses into rental prices if they wish to be in the green.

Except they can't, because (barring artificial price ceilings like rent control) they're almost certainly already charging the optimal rent for maximum profit; if they could actually charge higher without losing money as a result, they already would have, property tax or no.

The actual reason property tax increases rental prices is because it penalizes development, meaning developers are less likely to build denser housing, meaning less housing supply, meaning higher housing prices. That is what is happening when landlords hike up prices in response to property tax increases; they are responding to the shifting intersection of supply and demand.

Replacing property tax (and every other tax, for that matter, but that's a good starting point) with a land value tax would alleviate this problem, since it inverts the penalties - namely, by penalizing those who don't develop, meaning developers are more likely to build denser housing, meaning more housing supply, meaning lower housing prices. In this case, landlords are locked in; they still have to respond to the shifting intersection of supply and demand in order to maximize profit, and in this case that intersection results in a lower optimal price point. Literally zero opportunity to price LVT into apartment rentals this way; any attempt to do so results in the landlord losing profit.

Business is there to serve society, not the other way around.

Pay the wage or get out of the market so that superior businesses with better productivity can grow.

"And your tax dollars and your children's tax dollars have made it all possible."

Other way around. Payments from government are what make tax payments possible - which will always match what government pays out for any positive tax rate if everybody spends all they earn.

If they don't (ie they save - which is what causes a deficit) then that will catch up when they get around to spending those savings. [0]

" there won't be enough jobs for the number of workers"

There should always be enough jobs for the number of workers - with the state providing a job at the living wage to top up the permanent shortage that comes from relying entirely on the private sector.

All the private sector has to do then is pay the wage if they want the labour. Competition for labour then works, and private firms can replace jobs with machines without anybody getting too upset about it. All of which drives forward productivity and the overall standard of living.

Labour should always be reassuringly expensive. Then we make best use of it because it is scarce.

Why not use keycloack. It's old and boring but it works.
Periods are relevant to a "small handful" of women? Have you discussed your thinking with any women?

Is it a "pretty grotesque" sense of entitlement at work when a man looks for a urinal in a public building? Or when a disabled person looks for the wheelchair ramp? These things have half utility at best by your "obvious metric".

Take this further: imagine architecture firms were staffed mostly (80%+) by women. They keep getting complaints because their doorways are only 5'11" high (ideal for 99% of women's bodies), they don't provide urinals and so on.

Is it a wild assumption that having more men – or, god, "experts in catering to men (who might be men but also women)" - on their teams would help address these repeated own goals? Or do we need to spend years getting the data that shows us the real, mysterious, non-political underlying cause of this gender bias in buildings?

Just in case anyone is still wondering why there are users who still complain about Signal linking accounts to phone numbers.
Thanks for the answer! You say team of four - what were the roles?
I don't know the answer. What are your thoughts?
That's not this. It's a false equivalency.

You've just restated the same error as the thing I responded to

The thing you'd be "zeroing" in this situation would be to find a specified road and weather condition and then demonstrate the existence of a drag coefficient by letting the car coast down the same hill with the top on or off and seeing how far it goes before stopping and how long it takes to get there

In your analogy you'd be up against the assumption that fuel economy is universally constant. Here, you're trying to show that it's not constant and the shape of the vehicle is part of the reason why.

You do this by removing confounding variables to demonstrate whether a phenomena is real or just a confluence of other things and merely presenting a convincing illusion.

We would want to take engine combustion and driving habits out of the tests. We would be pushing the car off at neutral down the hill. You want those noise creating events to not disrupt your signal

We're trying to establish if something is potentially real.

Coincidentally there's been a slew of bogus fuel efficiency additive products that have measurable effects because the people using them habitually change their driving style creating a false positive. Grifters have successfully been hawking this driving placebo scam for 50 years because when you bring all the other stuff in it's hard to tell what's real and what's just in the head. It's easy to falsely attribute things based on the stories we like to tell ourselves.

Also to extend the car pushing thing to the counternarrative example someone could claim that it was merely the tires were warmed up the second run, thus being more inflated and that's what caused a time discrepancy so drag coefficient is still an unsupported idea. No matter what you do, there's always a hole somewhere. That's why it's gotta be more than one type of demonstration. To borrow a French idiom, it's all about cherchez le creneau and constructing new experiments.

Ask HN: Is is safe to change my domain's MX records away from Google?
I use Google to manage mails both for myself (personal site) and that of my company. I just set the MX records of these domains to Google's mail servers and it's been working fine ever since.

However, with increasing frequency of the dreaded and un-recoverable Google bans, I am wondering if changing the MX records of a domain to a different email provider has any complications associated with it.

For eg. will an overnight change in MX records be flagged by prominent email providers, resulting in subsequent mails sent from that domain consigned to spam by these providers?

While I know that existing email data may forever be locked out from me, will at least all subsequent communication with other services I use (AWS, Github etc.) or even communication with official Govt agencies (tax department etc.) work fine without getting blocked by spam filters.

My apprehension stems from my understanding that email server management is hard to get working right especially because of how other mail servers flag mails from your server as spam unless it's configured just right. I admit that I'm not very knowledgeable about it. I'm hoping more erudite people here can share pointers/warnings/tips.

So you've just pulled it out of thin air. What I figured. It's just victim blaming through misogynistic prejudices.

Another perspective is that a lot of bias isn't "I don't like X people", but rather "I feel X people are disproportionately Y, and I don't like Y". Objective data that this X person isn't Y seems like a good way to (1) reduce the harm of the bias in the short term and (2) hopefully diminish the bias over time, given enough objective data to fix their biased priors via observation.

If fixing people's biases via objective data isn't the solution, is the solution figuring out which people are unbiased and only hiring sufficiently unbiased people? What if evidence suggests that there aren't enough sufficiently unbiased people in the world? Is unsubstantiated rhetoric preferable to objective data in breaking down people's biases?

Of course the ideal solution to bias is to just not be biased in the first place, but that's not an implementable solution.
I don't know what a good force integration looks like in the first place, so I can't really help design the needed calculation, sorry. But I imagine you'd use similar techniques in many ways to get good accuracy.

I have different styles of debugging dependent of context.

If I inherit code or libraries from someone else, I use the debugger without shame.

For my own code, using the debugger is a sign something is wrong. This demonstrates a need for extra logging: How can I troubleshoot software in production in the field if I can't do it on my own machine.

Print style debugging is usually reserved for interfaces between my and someone else's code, to clarify the contract.

None of this is a religion of course.
> These statistics are just not passing the smell test.

These numbers are derived from estimations, for sure. But they are sophisticated estimations and serve to rank other health risks in life. In rich countries we usually obsesses about things like pesticides in food or „small particulate matter“ to an extent that it is absurd. Air quality is a real threat in many countries but not anymore in the US or most of Europe for sure.

As the article shows obesity is the killer number 1 in the US. A healthy diet is something which is totally under our control. And for sure smoke generated at a BBQ for example is not very healthy and can be avoided by using a gas grill.

These are things usually ignored and thus underestimated in our health obsession.
Skin cancer probably plays no role for your ability to reproduce. By the time you die from skin cancer you already had children and probably even grandchildren.
I don't see how skin color is relevant but since your comment enjoys assigning responsbilities based on skin color - I am a brown immigrant. Divide and conquer has been used for centuries and is what’s being used as usual to get political points. Nothing new about it.

Your comment is doing the same racism which you claim to be against. Usually the next response is to call me an Uncle Tom for not falling for the boogeyman and going along with the narrative. Anything which doesn't fit the establishment narrative gets classfied as "white supremacist" and other such labels now a days - just like your comment did.

Ps. Won’t be replying further because this discussion is neither relevant nor productive, plus probably borderline breaks HN rules.
Even if the landlord was willing to rent to you by mitigating the risk in this way; at least in NY state that would not be legal anymore.

The state recently limited security deposits to a single month, and do not permit taking more than one months rent up front. This was meant to help tenants avoid having to come up with more money, but of course landlords will simply mitigate the risk by not renting to some people at all or only for a higher monthly amount.

https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/changes-in-nys-rent-la...
"Capping Security Deposits
• Landlords can only charge up to one month of rent for a security deposit or “advance payment.” This applies to all residential rentals, with a few exceptions, whether you have a lease or not.
› This means that if you are moving into an apartment where the rent is $1500 a month, the most your landlord can charge for a security deposit is $1500.
› This also means that your landlord may not charge you in advance for the last month’s rent if you are also paying a security deposit."

Shipping is more elastic than you would imagine.

Ships can sail faster easily (but they use more fuel). They do that when prices are high like now. That increases throughput.

Shipping contracts can usually be resold - so someone importing low priority goods can make a healthy profit by selling their shipment slot on to someone else.

These two things mean shipping should never run out. Claims of this article that there is no space left 'regardless of price' I am dubious of...
Thank you for positing something other than the brilliance and talent of executives! :)

However, while I understand the idea of de-risking to minimize financial and legal risk by hiring certain executives and consultants, it still doesn't help me understand why that translates to paying certain individuals so much money.

No matter how this is presented, it seems to always boil down to 2 possibilities. One, these people are really so talented (in the sense of rare athletes) that they are worth O(100M). I think this theory is patent nonsense, because I simply don't agree that what they do is difficult in the same way that, say, theoretical particle physics is hard.

Or two, various synthetic legal and historical forces have gradually driven the compensations of these people astronomically high in such a way that the economy depends on it, and people believe that it makes sense, like some kind of religion. This is hand-waving and conspiracy-sounding, I know. But it is the only way I can make sense of it.
> ... Please. You're not getting that software engineering job by being an artist with no prior experience who flashes high-class speech for 10 seconds...

You make it sound like that kind of thing is impossible. It's NOT. Class signals, in many cases, are absolutely critical to landing a job. You give an example of "an artist with no experience" grifting into a SW engineering job-- that's a bit extreme. What is common, however, are corporate HR/hiring-managers and even entire professional networks that dismiss otherwise qualified people based on class signals.

You people are thinking of software engineering, of course because this is HN. But keep in mind that for some people, that's just "the help". There's a whole world of business jobs and networks where even showing up with the wrong suit will get you instantly, silently, and permanently dismissed unless you have some incredibly strong connections to that group. I know this anecdotally because I grew up in my father's tailor shop!

If all events have causes, then nothing can happen spontaneously. A “will” in that world can’t be “free” or disconnected from the causal chain.

If there are events that don’t have causes, either they are random, or we need to introduce an unfalsifiable explanation. In a random world, a “will” is still constrained by rolls of the dice. It does not express itself. It is not “free”.

If we introduce a metaphysical explanation, then it is no longer science, and can properly be discarded as “nonsense” in the context of the project of inquiry into the physical world. In its company we find concepts like souls, ghosts, deities, magic, etc.

>> The paper seems to focus a bit on the types who thought it's a bit of symbol manipulation you can do in lisp which has always seemed a bit dumb.

About half of the paper is about modern deep neural networks, but can you please give a few examples of the kind of AI you say is "a bit of symbol manipulation you can do in lisp"? Because I would say this is an extreme oversimplification borne by terminal unfamiliarity with the subject, beyond what may be commented on twitter.

For instance, remember that Deep Blue, despite its name, had nothing to do with deep learning or machine learning of any kind, and was a manually programmed system, yet I doubt anyone would sensibly describe it as "a bit of symbol manipulation you can do in lisp".

But please give examples of what you mean.
