You can afford to keep empty buildings when you are making more on the property value increase overall.

This is a common tactic in Coeur d'Alene with the commercial units. They leave them empty instead of lowering rents because the property value is largely based on what you can rent them for. I have been watching and there are several buildings which perpetually have empty units with for lease signs.

Just started happening more with the rentals. Big investment companies came in and bought up a ton of houses at way above market value and held them (not speculation...they knocked on my parents door too). Then they either leave them empty or make vacation rentals from them. This lowers the availability of houses. It was not a coincidence that these companies came to the town April 2020-September 2020 and made these purchases...I have heard stories about the unreal prices people got for just standard houses local.
So now that the availability is down they hold the houses and trickle them out slowly as the prices raise due to competitive bidding from people moving to the area who don't realize that the house they are buying isn't worth the price (nor is it able to be rented by anyone working in town at the price they need to get).

If the property values stay the same then it is going to collapse to the point of tent cities. If the valuses go down not only will those who just bought houses lose a lot of money...but also those who just refinanced their houses are likely going to be underwater.

It’s also what I was taught in American (private) high school.
"Using World War 2 as an example, the Army Air Forces immolated Japanese cities with white phosphorus and napalm before the atomic bomb was available. In Tokyo alone, hundreds of thousands of people were reduced to ash, and the glow of the firestorm was visible from hundreds of miles away. Those actions, followed by the atomic bombing, are marginally controversial today but largely accepted as 'ok'."

How else would you deal with an enemy that would not give in? Most people fail to understand that the axis was all in, in every way, shape and form. When it comes to the Japanese, they flat out were not going to give up. Their will had to be broken, somehow, someway.
A few years ago an old friend of mine died. This was announced on Facebook. I'm not on Facebook. Nobody told me until a couple months later.

It's a basic fact of life that the more friction there is to doing something, the less that thing will get done. Sure, some people will manage to make it work, but others won't be so lucky.

Good point! I guess I just thought the bar was higher. I've seen people write on their bio that they got to the front page once lol
You're wrong. They rot from the inside as they die. The soil moisture is falling and the trees can't store enough water. The insides die first. Stress comes from climate change. Imagine in extreme conditions with high variance in water availability or temperature shifts how an organism will survive. This is part of the larger Holocene extinction humans are causing now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
Both cycles are limited by the same fundamental value (the Carnot coefficient) so I don't think that it would be a huge difference between the two cycles. Rather, I suspect that there are not all that municipalities that have (or need) both district heating AND district cooling. I expect that in the future we'll see a lot more industrial use of waste heat from power plants though, and part of that might take the form of on-site absorption chillers.

Generally is an important distinction though ;).

Living in fear of falling out of that "generally" is probably not fun.
We use Azure DevOps at work. I like it enough that I use it for my personal stuff also. They do have a free tier, but even if you need the paid services, the price is reasonable.
Not OP, but the transatlantic slave trade is materially related to the history of Haiti, which is the topic at hand.

I love when simple, real-world examples of basic econ 101 show themselves.

In all transactions- buying, selling, or exchanging labour for money- both sides of the agreement have to see a beneficial deal. You feel that the iPhone 27 is worth however much money, and the store selling you feels that the money is worth giving you the iPhone. If either side does not agree, there is no sale.

"Plenty of available jobs" is what happens when the deal you are offering- cash for labour- is not an acceptable deal to the labour side. When businesses cannot be profitable at market-chosen labour prices, the businesses will close down.
The people who live in an area, it seems, should rightfully decide the rules of that area. It's in their interest to stop competition with their existing property so they will vote against it. At the same time, everyone lives somewhere, and if everyone votes for anti-development policies there will not be enough houses to go around. I guess the policy hurts the up-and-coming to help the established. Still, people should have a right to determine the future of their own communities. I would be interested to hear if any philosophers have untangled this one, because I can clearly see the conflict of two good principles.
Right. People seem to think that if the cost of hotdogs goes up, that home owners who's $1M house appreciated an extra 10% are getting screwed. They're not. Unless they're spending an absurd amount of money on local services.
Sincerely I don't understand what's the appeal of tailwind. It's just one more sign of dementia to add to the landscape.
That seems like a policy the newcomers coming in setting up winter homes would do and not the locals who are slowly driven out through rent/price increases brought by market restrictions.
When hooked up to the grid, converting from electricity to heat for storage makes alot of sense (to me).

But I'm curious about your case: why not use the old-fashioned solar water panels to create hot water directly?
I agree with you, nature is hostile to humans. I recently bought a house in a village and first day: I was bitten by a mite. There's danger of encephalitis, so I had to visit a hospital and get some injections to protect. No hospital? Few percents of chances to get ill and die.

There are wolves in the forest. They're not generally dangerous to humans, unless you're doing stupid things or you're child, but they're dangerous enough and they'll kill dogs.

Finding clean water is a challenge. Mosquito can turn your life into hell without modern repellents.

But still I think that it's a worthwhile movement to bend a nature towards human and fill a missing pieces. Because despite all the dangers and inconveniences I just love being in nature compared to the city.

Probably the technology and science is not here yet. But imagine that we develop ways to eradicate mosquitoes completely. Eradicate infected mites completely (issue with viruses and bacterias, not with mites, of course). Find a ways to generate clean energy (hardest thing is to generate heat in home, it requires lots of energy). And so on. My dream is to live like an elf in the forest, but without all the negative consequences. It's impossible or too costly atm, but I don't see it as impossible in principle.
That's how I was taught the American Revolution... What do you find so offensive about it?
> In fact all politicians should be stripped of healthcare from their compensation packages as well.

Ha, I've never thought about that (not American) - I suppose it's no different than choosing a provider for anything else (like travel or couriers) or in-housing it (like pensions) but it does seem funny to me to think of politicians having employer-provided health insurance.
I'm no longer with T-Mobile US but I used it in Peru, Iceland, Mexico, Morocco, Brazil, Bolivia, and Italy without issue. Maybe Japan is a fluke but working service in North Africa and South America speaks volumes for me.
Perhaps because they believe they are killing a drug lord, and didn't do their research to find out this was the address of the president (who also may be the drug lord)?
Don’t you think someone — possibly a user of this site — would have noticed the network traffic?

I notice a lot of network traffic coming from my phone to *.googleapis.com network endpoints, even when I'm not using my phone. So I'm not sure what point you're trying to make?
We also wanted to use npm audit in our CI process so, instead of humans being careful, we could assert any known CVE stops a staging or prod deploy. Very annoyingly, npm audit doesn't have ignore functionality, at least when I was last forced to use it. I had to hack something together with bash scripts.

For vulnerabilities that we determined weren't an issue ever (vuln in frontend framework we didn't use), or weren't high priority enough to P0 through, we needed some way to ignore either permanently or temporarily specific vulnerabilities.

Given the enormous dependency sets eg react create, you'd think the tools would be better at managing them.
If you look at the Standard Oil case it doesn't make much sense - they lowered costs dramatically, greatly improved the world, and by the time they were broken up had already lost a huge amount of market share and were trending down.

What exactly was the benefit that happened after the break up?
> One quantitative test I can suggest -- one can count the number of occurrences of the word 'statistics' in the journals and conferences he has published and compare that with the number of publications he has authored. My sense is that it will be close to 0 and getting closer (if not already there yet).

I'm not sure this "quantitative test" is the best approach... after all, I'm pretty sure "Biometrica" and "Econometrica" don't have "statistics" in their names.
Haiti was already in a constitutional crisis, because Moise's election in 2016 was a complete mess.
it is promising, but note that it doesn’t apply to ambulances - so we’ll still be ubering to the er
I think the basic problem here is that there's essentially no overlap between the LTE bands used by T-Mobile in the US and Softbank in Japan.

Unless you have a device with radios that happen to support extra bands that are not used in the US, then it's essentially incompatible with the Japanese network despite both being "LTE".
Long term it probably doesn't very often. That's cold comfort for the businesses that perhaps had better utility and better profit models, but couldn't compete because they couldn't debt finance as well. Likewise it's cold comfort for the consumer during the period when the company is able to jack up prices. And it's cold comfort for the retail investor who loses money should the company go under because it was unsustainable but had grown such market share it was included in index funds and things.

It's not necessarily a permanent thing; little related to industry is. But the seemingly permanent cases are telling (Walmart being a great example). But even the impermanent ones; 20 years, say, of suboptimal outcomes for everyone except the already rich (the VCs), and the founders playing a flawed system well, is a reason to re-examine the system.

Fundamentally being able to continually debt finance something that has no profitability, and possibly no path to profitability, or which leverages market inequalities to expand (again, Walmart; profits from one area enable predatory pricing in another to choke out competition, then you can raise prices, and repeat the cycle elsewhere), breaks a lot of the assumptions a 'free market' rests on.

Or more succinctly, the practice is what enables digging the moat. The size of the moat is entirely controlled by how much financing you can get. We're seeing a lot of companies focusing on building moats rather than competing fairly.
I lived in Breckenridge, Colorado, a rather fancy ski resort town a couple years back. At the time a large portion of service industry workers could not afford any housing at all within 45 minutes and slept in their cars in alleys near their work.

Same as this, the issue is people moving in from areas with higher housing costs who can afford higher prices, while they depend on workers whose wages aren’t nearly enough to live nearby even if doubled.

This is not a new phenomenon or a much different than what has been going on in cities such as Denver. It will be interesting to see whether the pandemic changes continue to have an effect on pricing near the central business district. Remote work etc is likely to make resort towns even worse in this regard.
It's 100% what I was taught, as I mentioned in my previous comment before even reading those. Where do you get such confidence in claims that are so incredibly wrong and so guaranteed to be easily rebutted?
> Acts of war, like military bombings, are obviously not on the same level as genocide. There's a very crucial difference.

What's the difference when the target is the civilian population, as was the case with the bombings of Japan (and many of the cities in the European theatre of the war as well)? Other than the fact bombing cities from a B-29 flying high is more impersonal for the perpetrators.

These are two different questions: should C++ have a GC, and is a GC language suitable for systems programming.

There is actually already a GC which works well with C++ and is also used by some of the mentioned languages: https://www.hboehm.info/gc/. Personally I think the C++ specification is already far too big and complex (so why adding even more stuff). A lot of GC languages were more or less successfully used to develop operating systems (even Lisp, Smalltalk and Java). From my point of view Oberon is not particularly suited for this purpose, but obviously it was used to implement the Oberon system (using some dark corners of the SYSTEM module and undocumented language features).
Indeed, never seen so many people on HN be so reactionary and emotional about a simple technology.

The demographics of the crowd:

wealthy, living in the most stable country in history, with access to digital forms of banking worldwide, ability to emigrate wherever they'd like, able to transfer money as they see fit, and holding their savings in the global reserve currency for a country which they're a citizen of.

Doesn't help many empathise with why many people around the world can't trust their governments centrap bank, or open a bank account elsewhere, or convert their savings to a stable currency and assume it won't be seized or banned locally.

It's best to just build cryotocurrency and not bother explaining to Americans who aren't willing to listen why it's necessary.

It's like explaining public transportation to people at a country club.
David Graeber wrote it, and the first question is answered in the comment you're replying to?

Are you making a larger point?
Trump announces a class-action lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter and Google
Amazon using shipping addresses in isolation to improve their business is not what people are concerned about here. It's perfectly legitimate for Amazon to say "we're getting a lot of orders from this list of zip codes, let's open some warehouses there". That doesn't infringe on anyone's individual privacy; the action is not tied directly to a single person, and especially not to further data collection/collation.
FYI, asserting that ‘inaction’ is a politically radical act is in fact a fringe belief.

In the end, remember that politics is preference, and that whoever is in power gets to assert their preferences more.
Have you tried it? I don't know what you mean by "sign of dementia", but I find the approach taken by tailwind makes me a lot more successful in applying designs. Doesn't feel like dementia to me.
Rule? The guy wasn't a despot he was the elected president in 2 largely uncontroversial elections.

He comes from the political elite as a member of the popular Tet Kale party where he eventually won 55% of the vote to become president. He wasn't a dictator, he didn't emerge from a military junta, or as a foreign backed darkhorse candidate. He was just your typical, center-right, Caribbean politician who had to make unpopular choices after taking office.

Until something emerges there is nothing that says this guy deserved assassination. And that is the worrying bit, by all accounts he was popular which means his replacement will be under a great deal of scrutiny.
It can be made much less accessible because it's not meant to be shared with the remote side.

A client cert is also not shared among all users behind a NAT, can be durable across roaming across IPs, and is actually meant to be a security measure unlike IPs.
What's wrong with it what's left out. Handouts from whom to whom? The term usually implies "from the rich to the poor", meaning that the rich have the power to give or to withhold as they please. But it doesn't ask why they are rich in the first place. If I bring in 1000$ of revenue for my company but am only paid 100$ in wages, am I giving them a 'handout'? No, the term 'handout' implies that that is fine and normal; but when it comes to giving money back, well, that's charity. People should have to work for it! Nevermind that they ALREADY DID.
> Inline all dependencies during publish… From a maintainer’s point of view, the upsides are clear: you get faster boot time, smaller downloads, and — as a nice bonus — no bogus vulnerability reports from your users.

And when you inlined a version that later really does have a vulnerability, it is not easily flagged or fixed by your consumers.

The tension between "upgrades (especially of indirect dependencies) might break" and "upgrades (especially of indirect dependencies) might be necessary to fix bugs or patch security vulnerabilities" is real. There is no magic bullet to get around it. There are practices to try to balance it -- which generally involve ecosystem-wide commitment to backwards compatibility, reflected in semantic versioning (and minimizing major releases).

That npm dependency trees are often insane doesn't help though. I'm not totally sure why they are so insane, but I increasingly think that npm's ability to have multiple versions of same dependency in the dependency tree -- often seen as a huge advantage over other platforms -- is in fact part of the problem. It makes the dependency tree even more insane, and it also accomodates a false belief that it's fine to lock to very specific versions of dependencies -- because it won't prevent other dependencies from co-existing in tree with other conflicting requirements after all. Which then accomodates a false belief that dependency maintainers don't need to worry too much about backwards compatibility, after all consumers can just lock to specific working versions... and now we wind up with insane dependency trees which depend on vulnerable versions in ways that require a whole bunch of releases to resolve.
Yes, definitely. I misread the parent comment as snark claiming that we don't have that score penalty in reality

He never said that his opinion changed. He just said that he accepted that Tailwind is now part of the frontend dev landscape (for better or for worse, time will tell), and tried to name some good parts of it.
I believe that comment was directed towards posts about price fluctuation of existing public companies, while this post is about the company going public. Previous listing posts have led to substantive discussion in my experience.

Well sure, but they left to escape being murdered. Their main beef was with specifically French white people though. They spared a group of Poles and worked with many white German and USA American traders in the following years.
I don't know how Twitter works exactly but if I was using it for promotion I'd probably block the negative nancies from piggy backing on my posts if I could too.

Anyway, I think the tooling around Tailwind (at least in React/next) has gotten much better since the author wrote his initial criticisms AND tailwind is even more ubiquitous now-- which for better or worse makes it more acceptable even if some of the CSS mappings change over time. We put up with that sort of problem with JS as a matter of course so maybe my attitude is too blasé on that point though.
The people who made $100k on paper will end up without it if they hold on to their house until the market gives up on moving people in to their housing-constrained locale. They'd have to sell it during the rush to benefit, otherwise they pay the higher living costs for a while only to see their equity return to its original valuation.
A lot of old people yelling at clouds in this thread. Needs, wants, in my day, get the belt, etc.

Do you have any idea what it can cost to move in the US? Saving up first and last months rent, plus a security deposit, then finding a new rental who's start lines up somewhat closely with the end of your current lease, then renting a moving van and spending money on a move that will take multiple days of travel/hotels etc. Not to mention things like paying for a new driver's license, new registration on your car, having to move all your insurance over to places with potentially higher rates. It's not as easy as just 'hop in the car and find a new place'.

One strategy I simmed was actually doing nothing -- the sim allows approval to dip to 12%, but then recovers naturally on its own with no intervention. 12% > 0%, so, no need to do anything.
