Your points are true, and I’m in favor of building more housing, however the single family home has traditionally been a financial boon for lots of Americans, and having to pay for rent every month vs keeping some of that value in your mortgage is hard to discount.

I guess I’m just saying there should be cheap smaller houses and condos in cities too, not just rental places.
A lot of renters are nimbys as well, due to misconceptions, or other factors such as rent-control affecting their outlook.
The primary driver of the fed is stopping prices from increasing too fast? The fed does talk about inflation, but unless my perception is wrong, they talk about employment more.
And why would a nerdy kid not get enough sunlight, how do you think?
Rent control has been instituted or strengthened as a response to rising rents in cities across the country.
SMS is the only "second factor" that you can't control at all, your phone number can be changed from the phone company at any point, disabled, or suddenly refuse to work in a foreign country (all of those three happened to me).

For those reasons, even as a second factor it's a terrible one. SMS is just not a good method of authentication at all and has no place in a login form.

At it's best, SMS is only useful as a read-only notification system for non-sensitive purpose.
Oh yeah, Apple are relentless in their push for new platforms and abandoning old stuff. Maybe too much in the Metal sphere of things where there have been some big changes - Metal 1, Metal 2 their "modern" platform they we're pushing for starting at A12 and really now from A14-M1 and the future.

Oh well, yet another publication “rich bad, poor good”. I will leave out payday lending, buying small goods on credit etc. Lets talk about mortgages and student loan. Let’s face it, if you are rich you have become rich somehow or stayed rich ( even harder than first one) you probably understand risk management. What we have got here: you are lending your capital to folks who are less rich (much less trustworthy). Why you are lending to them if risk relatively is pretty high? Actually, its not student loans in most of civilized society is backed by government programs, mortgages is backed by GSEs. You can land money with relatively no risk at all. I am oversimplify but, many problems comes from politician will “help little people/protect little people” or called aswell “to get elected or reelected”. Our friends in government puts incentives to lend money to consumption without almost risk.
And I am from Europe/Baltics. We have got our own “helpful programmes”. Like government agency lends you downpayment for mortgage with pretty barbaric rate. So what happened, default downpayment have gone up from 10% to 15-20% to get skin in the game from lender. Who suffers the most? Those who have got these 10% for downpayment.
Thank you. While there is no data to back up some of these numbers, at least they are offered up. I have often wondered what amounts Meth addicts were using do cause their severe issues.
For certain products it can make sense to only provide services on an as-needed basis with pricing tailored to how much you think it'll cost to run the service for that customer plus some margin. For this I think it's less like that (seems like a Zapier clone for chat, based on my initial impression).
Exactly. The Kelly strategy is the strategy that, with probability 1, eventually and permanently beats any other strategy. This isn't true for any other strategy and this criterion has nothing to do with utility.

Got anything more current than 2018?
I just published a novel about the real story of a Catholic priest during WWII in Paris, who used to inflitrate Resistance networks, get as many names as possible, and then sell them to the Germans.

He was caught after the war and was executed (by firing squad). He apparently never ceased to believe in God, petitioned the prison chief so that they would let him say mass (they said no), and received communion every day up to the morning of his execution. But he never expressed any kind of regret for what he had done.

The novel is a first-person narrative to try to get into his head.

Petiot was a doctor who killed people instead of healing them. My character was a priest who betrayed those who trusted him -- extreme cases of cognitive dissonance.

Yet I think we all suffer from it (to a much lesser extent, hopefully). We spend an enormous amount of time and effort rationalizing our own life and character. One of the strengths of the human psyché is to create an image of the self that we can accept. It doesn't need to be very close to reality.

Maybe one needs a precise amount of rationalization, or some kind of equilibrium, to operate. Too little, you fall into depression. Too much, you're a monster.
Serious question, why does everything require an app? Why can't the same thing be accomplished via the mobile web? I get so tired of being prompted to install apps when you could just *show me the damned web page*. Anything that requires speed can be done via webassembly, and sure, anything like games can ship a native app.
Regardless, I think the author's point is that the massive dose is more responsible for that negative outcome than the chemical is itself.

Just setup a VPN on some cheap cloud provider.

There are lots of sites UK ISPs block even though the sites themselves are not illegal or host illegal content. For e.g. torrent indexing services (the content itself may be illegal but purely providing a search across that content is basically doing what Google do).

The UK internet is heavily filtered/censored and so doing this is useful anyway.

Business ISP connections don't seem to be restricted. And neither do most cloud providers I've tried.

Might be better than using temporary proxies.
Onchain fees constitute ~10% of current miners income, and that will probably increase, not decrease

That is not going to happen. Nothing is done purely in one language in the EU. The language rules are deeply embedded in the treaties; changing this would require quite a lot of countries to agree formally. The three work languages of the Commission are English, French, and German, and that’s not going to change. What can change is which one of these is used the most.

This is a good response. I addressed it a bit in one of my other comments above, but basically, yes, you're right -- I'm wrong to say that the actions of the mob aren't themselves harmful. It's just that it's a different harm that has to be managed differently from the other harm that's incurred when people in positions of authority bow to the mob.

Crucially, if you can find a way to ignore the mob and/or manage the onslaught from an emotional point of view, then you've solved that problem, but if your boss fires you, then it doesn't really matter how well you personally handled it.

I only use 2FA if the service provides me with backup codes that I can put in my password safe, which has a unique, long password that is stored and backed up in several places.

If there is not a self-service recovery option for me losing my phone, I won't use it.

FWIW I keep a copy on my desktop and on my phone (Keepass) and sync them every few weeks. I try not to add new passwords to my phone copy in order to keep things simple, but Keepass can do diffs and merges.

"But if your safe is owned, then all your accounts are owned!" Yes, that's the balance I take. If someone is able to get my safe and use my bio auth on the phone OR otherwise crack it, I'm screwed.
Yeah that's a fair point. You probably[1] need to be online to make a transaction, but you can potentially have a thin client setup where you communicate with a hosted node somewhere, but the signing and stuff is kept on-device. This allows you to make transactions in the case where power is out, but your phone still has internet access. I don't live in el salvador so I'm not sure what the frequency of power outages is relative to telecommunications outages, but at least in the US cell towers and landlines run on backup power so they're up even when there's a blackout.

[1] For maximum convenience it's mandatory, but it's conceivable to update the state of a channel entirely offline. This would allow you to make offline transactions with a node you have a direct channel to, but multi hop transactions (ie. transactions with nodes that you don't have a direct channel to) would still be a hassle.

No, the price has gone up so much you remortgage and get cash out to buy the next place.
Yes, I have seen this too. It works against sellers too, in a cooler market; they are more incentivized to close quickly than to find the best price. Considering it's relatively trivial to list and find just about any kind of good these days, I just don't see the added value that agents bring to either side being worth much at all.
It's on purpose
The issue is that Apple continues to inroad services and tools through their own proprietary systems, which gives them a better excuse to mark up their products. Giving users the choice of marketplaces gives Apple incentive to stay competitive in an otherwise monopolistic software segment.
I'm actually sharing a cert between a web server and another service. Refreshing the certificate with certbot is trivial if the cert is being used on a web server, and reusing the same cert for another service is easier than figuring out a separate way to refresh that cert.

I have no clue if the second service is vulnerable to this attack though - I kind of doubt it.
Or more thermally ideally placed. I had an EPYC7371 with 16 cores like the 7351 but higher frequency 3.1GHz base frequency against 2.4GHz (more €€€ too !). The thing was a beauty.
My current keyboard: Keychron k8a3. It's not beautiful, but it's cheap (for a mechanical BT keyboard) and it's not given me any trouble [edit: any trouble with connectivity and device-switching being at all fiddly or unreliable, or with basic being-a-keyboard functionality—obviously the "complaints" paragraph below means it's given me some trouble]. fn + 1/2/3 switches devices. Has a built-in battery that charges over USB-C. Lasts days on battery even if I accidentally leave the KB's light on a couple nights, and despite my tuning its power-saving features down to basically nothing.

Complaints: it's easy to accidentally hit the light-pattern-cycle button on the top-right, or for a cat to do the same, and I always want it on "steady light, no pattern" (I hate flashing lights on keyboards) but then have to hammer the button twenty times to get back to my preferred setting if it gets pressed. This happens maybe once a week, and is annoying. I also had problems with it dropping into sleep mode a lot when I didn't want it to, but IIRC there was some settings-modifying key-combo in the manual that mostly fixed that (at the cost of worse battery life), and keeping the backlight on its lowest light level (rather than off) during use made the problem 100% go away.

My current mouse: Logitech M720 Triathlon. Basically a boring, normal, easy-to-find lowish-mid-range BT mouse. One of the thumb-buttons on the side handles device switching. Tap once, the light under the current device (1, 2, or 3) comes on on the mouse (those lights are off normally). More taps and it starts cycling through them. Four taps and you're back where you started. Simple, quick, and reliable. Works fine. Has a weighted free-spinning scrollwheel (though you can push in a switch to make it feel like a more traditional wheel) that took some getting used to (that is: I hated it at first) but I really like it now.

In the past, I've also used a Logitech K380 BT keyboard, which was (and looks like still is?) TheWireCutter's recommended BT keyboard. It's very much a travel-type keyboard, though, so I don't love using it at my desk. It does support three devices at a time, though, and that functionality worked just fine while I was using it. I keep it around just-in-case, since it's tiny anyway, but don't use it much anymore. Nothing wrong with it, though.

They could take an loan against the unrealized gain on their asset if they'd like to continue living there. If they'd rather sell and keep the cash, that's their choice. Letting them both keep the windfall and shortchange their community doesn't make sense.

In addition, California (and I suspect other states) have a means tested property tax postponement program that allows low income homeowners to defer taxes until they move out, sell, refinance, or die as a substitute for obtaining a private loan.
> How is that worse when that's how you are currently taxed?

It's worse from the point of view of the LVT proponents' argument that the tax is based on the "intrinsic value" of the land and not improvements contributed by the property owner. You're correct that it's not that different from an income tax, but LVT is supposed to be more "fair" than an income tax specifically because it taxes "unearned" natural resources and not the owner's contributions. An income tax, of course, is designed to be exactly the opposite: a tax on earnings from economic activity.

This is not to say that an income tax is objectively better than LVT, just that LVT and property tax have more in common than some prefer to admit, mostly because the practical/legal definition of "improvement" (i.e. buildings and other physical changes to the property) does not encompass all economic value created by the owner.
The article is about investment companies purchasing houses at a premium driving up the cost of ownership and renting. The article provides examples of this, not just speculation.

> 400sqm is absolute luxury in Europe, and plenty of space for a massive detached house with a garden and garage. A house on the high end here sits on less than 150m2 (northern europe).

Just how "massive" can that house be with a garden (say, 35sqm) and a garage (36sqm)? You can probably build a fine house in the remaining 330sqm, no doubt, but I'd hardly call it "massive". Maybe "generous".

OTOH, it might be a point-of-view problem: I'm in South Africa, with a 700sqm building on a 2000sqm plot, in a nice area near the train/bus stop, near all amenities.

Apple built a platform, where they take some cut for themselves, while allowing other people to sell digital contents on their platform.

Other than the argument that this could be an anti-trust situation (i.e. in that case, the argument would be that Apple is abusing their market position), what differentiates these two cases ?
> They are thinking "will this make the property value go down in the next 5 years"? vs "will this make the property value skyrocket in the next 10 years".

Not even. Near here, there was a proposal from the city to increase middle-density housing.

They hired economic forecasters. Their projection, that property values would "decrease" from 13% YOY increases (we are in one of the highest increasing cities in the country) to 9% YOY.

In other words, you'd still see your home value _increasing_ 53% in five years (versus 84%), not decreasing...

... and people still acted like the city wanted to shoot their first-born in the streets.
Another thing that will reduce prices is to reduce desirability. Growing the population by another 30% might be good for bar crowd, but will degrade the value of the bay area's natural areas for many. The increased traffic in the bay area has also reduced livability. Living is SF and commuting to Apple by bus is only sustainable if we get many more people to commute by bus (not just FAANG employees). I see almost nothing being done to solve congestion problems and this is intimately tied to housing and population growth. Unfortunately we are squandering resources on HSR.
I'm a pretty big fan of it, too. Kind of like that bouncier rubberized feel. That said... it really needs an escape key, hah.
The part that all these nice theories miss is that you actually do not know the distribution p(win) (in the case of Kelly) or the expected return and covariance (in the case of Markowitz).
I think the current system is too much in Apple's favor, but I imagine they do have to spend a decent chunk of change curating the app store, validating submissions, hosting the apps for download, and maintaining the security infrastructure for developers to sign their apps and users to have confidence in them. This is all value added for developers.
This fails as soon as you have multiple instances of your app running (for load balancing or HA reason). Server one might still be running version A while server two is running the migrations done by version B - leading A to crash or corrupt data. If shutting down for the length of the update is not an option anymore, you will need to use the process the author pointed out.
I shop for used vehicles fairly regularly and don’t see evidence of this. Prices are high right now but not because any one entity has a lot of inventory. Keep in mind that a healthy market for used cars encourages more owners to sell and get something new. Local and regional markets can only become tight to an extent because cars and buyers move around the country when it makes financial sense.
It is really hard to subpoena a server in Iceland. Iceland gave asylum to Robert Fischer despite huge press from US to extradite him.
The appropriate answer (widely accepted by economists [0]) is a carbon tax and dividend, such that the externality is assigned a proportionate price signal. This additional price burden would be factored into the Proof of Work, and might provide additional incentive to migrate to Proof of Stake, or a low-energy Proof of Work algo. (This might eventually happen anyway, due to competitive pressures of transaction costs).

We can argue until the cows come home about which energy expenses increase human well-being, and which are “wasteful” (Adam Smith hated opera and thought it was a waste of money), but the only fair answer is to ask individuals and firms to pay their fair share proportional to usage, be it crypto mining or cloud marketing analytics or Christmas lights.

I had this happen with AT&T. Someone bought a new phone on my account with a phone upgrade, they transferred my service to the new phone, and I had to go through a ton of headache getting them to give me my service back to my old phone and trying to figure out what happened.

At the end, they acknowledged it was fraud. Additionally, added guards on the account with an additional passcode and wording stating that a person must confirm with me specifically before anything like transferring services is done again.

It did however blow my mind that something like that could happen and if someone intended on getting access to my accounts, the situation could have been much worse.
