Not really sure how what you describe here relates to the story from The Wire.

But in any case, this will materially affect climate change in as far as NL is going to be reducing their carbon footprint. It will materially affect climate change in that it will embolden further lawsuits, in other countries.

It will materially benefit the Dutch people in that either Shell will switch away from fossil fuels to more economically efficient carbon free economic activity, or Shell will leave and the Dutch will have some other business take the place that it better suited to the future.

Today, activist investors took over 2-3 seats on Exxon's board to push Exxon to a lower carbon future.

Finance is already fleeing from exploration of new fossil fuel. Fossil fuel companies are taking out loans to pay dividends, to trick investors into thinking that nothing is wrong. Their stock prices are taking a nose dive.

Shell, and all the oil majors, have a very short time period to change their ways, or they will be abandoned by investors as they have destroyed their future earnings potential, and acquire massive liability for their externalities.
White supremacists like to claim that twin studies prove that black people are less intelligent due to genetics. Apparently Sam seems to think that Democrats refusing to accept the shoddy science behind twin studies (the conclusions of which are often used in service of racist meta-studies) somehow implies that they are also "anti-science". Probably best to just ignore the comment.

I'm fascinated by how widespread this weird idea is.

Even if we buy the exotic premise that investors would buy houses and leave them empty - generating zero rental income for these greed driven people - as an investment, we still have to explain why they would only do this with new housing stock.

Why can't you do the same trick with existing housing?

I really don't think most people are confused about this - most understand science is a process backed by evidence. When people say "trust the science" they aren't pointing to an immutable conclusion. Generally, at the level of lay people the science being discussed isn't even complicated enough where the process of inquiry is even terribly relevant - there's lots to learn about the origins of the Earth, but "trusting the science" on the fact that the solar system is heliocentric is perfectly valid outside of doing your own experiments.

The useful thing about universal basic income is that you get to throw out all the inefficiencies of moderate/centrist policy.

No more deciding who is entitled to what. Just give everyone enough and let them go from there.

The thing that is holding us back from expanding the social programs we have is an obsessive fear of giving the undeserving "too much".

Housing being treated primarily as a vehicle for investment.
This was an interesting thought but I think the difference is that the defender has a much greater incentive to defend than an accuser has to accuse. There is no downside to not falsely accusing someone but there is a major downside to not falsely denying an accusation.

So it would be expected that almost every accused person would defend themselves when they would not lie if the sides were reversed.
Stanford is now an investment and real estate firm that runs a school on the side as a tax break. Some years back, in the 1990s (?) the university created the Stanford Management Company to manage the endowment. That was originally located out on Sand Hill Road, near the VCs. SMC started investing in startups. Like Google, Cisco, etc. This was a new thing at the time. Classically, universities only invested in passive investments.

Over time, the Stanford Management Company produced very good returns, and acquired more influence over the university. It's become far more than an investment office.

At the end of the day, if you want to program immutably or in such a way that is declarative and introspectable, you best look to FP for prior art in those sorts of spaces. Certain problems are age-old child's play in FP-land.
I've done something like that as well while working on audio firmware.

Think about how many times you hit compile and there were mistakes vs. perfect code? To err is human nature, that's why it's so important to set up safety nets for ourselves when dealing with dangerous things. Wear your digital PPE :-).
Databinding should be built into HTML/the DOM.

Virtual DOMs wouldn't need to exist at all; things would perform better and also be standardized around one API for declarative updates. Even many apps out there could be made with vanilla JS (or in some cases, no JS at all). And the libraries/frameworks that did emerge would be much smaller and also compatible. You don't have to convert your utility JS when you move it to a project with a different framework; why should you have to convert your markup?

Think about all the native HTML elements that exist out there. Some of them, like <dialog> [1], exist only to be made dynamic with JavaScript. Imagine being able to leverage all of these with nothing but markup.

There are a number of reasons this would be hard to add on at this point (though I don't think it's impossible!), but I believe it would have resulted in a web that's an order of magnitude lighter and simpler.

> If Elon were fully polite, conscientious, a 'good listener' I'm not sure Tesla would exist.

I think that's a BS excuse for bad behavior. How would being polite and concientious harm Tesla? It's simply that he has power and has low standards for his behavior.

I know plenty of successful people who do what Musk fails to do.
That sounds like two markings, not too hard.

Also there are no power ratings below 60W, and I don't think "no data" is a valid cable.
It feels like we're agreeing on some subjects (eg: too much regulation can kill economic growth), but disagreeing on the importance of economic growth for the defense of property rights and rule of law. My point is that those two items can only be guaranteed in a democratic society (you won't find them in places like Russia, Middle East, most of Africa, etc). In an earlier comment, I referenced a piece that discusses the impact of economic stability on Nazi's rise to power. You will find many other examples of democratic societies turning into totalitarian regimes at the time when people lost faith in elections (which is something they do when they can no longer pay for their food and rent).
Yep. :) I tried to generalize the philosophy but apparently didn’t cover my tracks well enough. I’d like to think that the principles would work for anyone.

Absolutely. I think people are intimidated, demoralized (de-moralized) and where once they believed anything was possible, any social problem could be solved (even those old as history, such as women's rights, human rights, etc.), now they've somehow drunk the wrong Kool Aid, some stuff distributed by Jim Jones.

Thanks! My impression isn't very accurate :-)

If you build enough luxury housing it will become cheap right away.

San Francisco has ~400k housing units. If you build a million more, prices will go down very sharply.

When there is more housing units than people who want to live there, prices go towards zero, whether they're "luxury" or not.
Just a bunch of billionaires promoting digital jingoism for the 21st century. Be prepared for this brain washing during the next decades...
You are disputing a point I never made. I didn't say "no units ever get cheaper". I said when growth outpaces new housing "cheaper units never flow down to the bottom of the market".

You said yourself that the new construction had slightly higher pricing meaning your unit was in the same basic market as the new construction and also implies you likely were not shopping at "the bottom of the market". Do you think you would have been able to negotiate your rent down if the new building was in an entirely different class and was charging 2x or 3x your rent?

I highly recommend giving this layout a chance.
New housing is always relatively "luxury" because newness is itself a luxury. Much of what is relatively affordable now was relatively "luxury" when it was built. But if you stop building anything new it would be like trying to keep the price of cars down by banning new cars – what will happen after a decade or two if you did that?
It's an advertisement. So now ycombinator is doing spam distribution?
A 3 bedroom luxury condo never becomes an SRO hotel with shared bathrooms regardless of how little maintenance goes into the place. A neglected property will obviously fall down market in terms of desirability, but a place like that will never reach the actual bottom of the market.

- Social media should not allow the broadcasting of unproven allegations that individuals have committed crimes, just as conventional media is barred from doing so until the cases have been heard in court.

- Utility-like services should not be allowed to refuse service to individuals without clear reason.
If you're interested in learning about the values held by liberals, as one myself, I recommend you read the UN declaration of human rights https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma... as I think it does the best job at summarizing the general values held by liberals.

Now don't get fooled by what you've been told. Internet Mobs and liberals are unrelated groups, but there are politically inclined groups who are pushing an agenda to discredit liberals by association, this is a fallacy, if you want to learn more about that here's the wikipedia entry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy

> the argument attacks a person because of the similarity between the views of someone making an argument and other proponents of the argument

So please, don't fall for this, there is no way to know what political values the people refered too in the article that were part of the mob had, lots of internet mobs are conservative, libertarian, communist, socialist, etc. just as well.

> If you are not part of the platform it can’t hurt you. I’m not on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, any of these services, so the mobs can’t really get to me.

lol they're not going to get a PR black eye from this. All of bluecheck Twitter is now singing the same "maybe Covid did come from the Wuhan lab after all!" tune. It's pretty clearly now an Officially Approved Narrative.

Why the narrative masters have made this sudden shift remains to be seen. Maybe to distract from all the evidence pointing to SARS-CoV-2 originating somewhere else than Wuhan and earlier than October 2019.
AI is as much a threat to democracy as the newspaper is - they eventually become the only means of input and politicians adapt to catering to them so that they can remain on a level playing field in terms of getting their policies and (potentially sensational) messages to people.
It would look like France, Japan, or, y'know, most industrialised countries. Employers would be required to give cause for any firing, and follow a documented process in which the employee has certain rights (e.g. the right to be assisted by a union representative, see the evidence against them, respond to allegations).
Do you have any data on that?

Currently living in zone 2 north-east London and house prices have seemed pretty flat for the last couple of years. Flats have had a surge due to current stamp duty holiday... and prices outside London seem to have increased a lot with people anticipating a permanent move to remote/hybrid working.

Taxes on empty properties aren't high, but you still need to consider maintenance... and there's an opportunity cost of leaving a house empty rather than renting it out.

Just interested in your data - thanks!

Update: found https://www.actiononemptyhomes.org/pretty-vacant in one of your sibling posts - was that what you were referring to? I just read it (on my phone, so might have missed it), but didn't see any numbers for investment returns here... and there was a fairly-extensive section talking about London property being used for money-laundering instead - is that what you're referring to?

Hello all, as we know Instagram and Facebook has the worst customer service in the world. It's been a month my community Instagram page got hacked and i tried contacting Instagram multiple times but still there is no response from them.

I started this page 2 years back and I'm constantly creating unique content to educate my followers. I only know how hard I worked to create the content with a lot of sleepless nights. We also have huge following on other social media platforms and we lost a huge userbase on Instagram.

How I lost it? I got multiple OTPs to my mobile from Instagram and I tried to check what is really happening with my account and then I got logged out immediately and lost the complete access to it. Even I didn't get any email from Instagram regarding the email/mobile changed.

And guess what the hacker sold that account to someone else and now they changed the username & logo as well and also they started creating content.

Previous username - @learn.machinelearning and current username - @learnmachinelearnings

When you tune into public radio you're most likely not listening to NPR. Public radio stations draw their programming from many sources, including in many cases shows produced by the station. NPR does distribute more content to public radio stations than do APM, PRI/PRX, or WNYC, but their programs don't comprise a majority of public radio content.

Unfortunately your litmus test especially doesn't work that well for NPR, at least in one example. They distribute (but do not produce - partly because it wouldn't meet their editorial guidelines) a show about issues facing Latin Americans in the United States called Latino USA. Yet nobody who listens to it would deny the show takes quite a strong progressive stance on political issues.

I'd also add that NPR's most popular shows, the newscasts Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition, are all remarkably boring politically and take a sort of weaker sauce version of the BBC's neutral and somewhat hostile approach to interviewing, regardless of political bent.
