> The Iranian Government is trying to destabilize the Middle East including threatening the world with an nuclear program

This sounds an awful lot like what the American government is and has been doing for a long, long time...In fact, America's nuclear program didn't just threaten the world, but caused actual harm. Where are the international sanctions?
I think the article is referring to 2007/2008 as peak of the 2000s housing bubble. Not 2000’s housing bubble.
Isn't this assuming variable rate mortgages?
A modern GPU is literally millions of times more powerful.
Is this inflation adjusted? Because otherwise I don't see the point of that article. Of course home prices are going to be higher 20 years later.

Even if the numbers analyzed are inflation adjusted, the article doesn't explain in what proportion are those prices higher than in the 2000s. If a house value was 60% up before the bubble bursted and then house values crashed 60% you have a baseline which is the deflated prices after the burst.
Clothes, this is observed in the stats too:

This is just general apparel, of course. Likely prices have dropped due to cheap factories that have higher production capabilities and sweatshops.

Yes, some times it's correct, some times it's wrong.

The complaint itself is always there (absolutely always), and should be dismissed every time because it carries no information at all. This does not technically make it a logical fallacy (ironically, most logical fallacies carry more useful information), just a useless waste of time.
> ...and PornHub did everything feasible to try and remove and report it.

That's demonstrably not true, since PornHub did do more in response to the mainstream media coverage (e.g. finally require some kind of age verification for uploaders and purge unverified content).

The only way they could be contextualized to have done "everything feasible" is within a fundamentally flawed model that they created, but it's precisely that model that needed to be reformed.

They're saying that URLs aren't an authentication (or authorization) system.

I'm curious to know how those advocating a position similar to this think something like a password reset facility on a website should work. We all know security-sensitive systems should rely on alternative methods of authentication anyway, but for those of us living in the real world where billions of people access millions of systems via websites using their email address as ID/fallback, what else would you do that does not rely on trusting emails to be acceptably secret for at least a few minutes?

A few thousand of covid money isn't going to buy you a a house. Low interest rates have a lot more to do with it than covid money: 1% to 2% lower interest rates mean buyers can afford to pay more for a house, they're in demand, and supply is low relative to demand.

That's probably a good clarification to make - some people have more friends than others so when you say you bought them each a house that could be just 4-5 people or 40-50. Good for you that you can share your good fortune with your friends without it affecting your relationship negatively.
I learned that it's fairly routine in wetland restoration work to sink shallow 'wells' (stand pipes) a couple feet down to measure water table levels over the course of a year or so. Wetlands - and in particular the plants that are adapted to them - can be permanent or seasonal, and can change over a 20 foot distance, so knowing which you have and where can be the difference between a failed or successful restoration.
Indeed it is amazing how US citizens feel compelled to religiously believe this oft-repeated pretext. I guess it helps them sleep better at night. The more likely reasons were to "field test" the bombs and to act as a warning shot for the Russians. Japan's belligerent actions and fatigue of war provided the perfect opportunity. It is far more complicated and risky to repeat something like that now.

The way we do it is a bit more complex to account for meatspace:

A project may have ownership data, and if it does it defaults to making the owner an optional reviewer. But if the project doesn't have ownership data, ownership bubbles up the folder tree to a folder that does have such information.

We organize projects such that increasing folder depth also increases ownership specificity (e.g. at the project level, the folder structure implies a specific team has ownership, one level up is their business vertical, one level up is the cost center category and so on, all the way up to root, which represents "everyone"). With this scheme, we can reassign ownership in situations like when the sole owner of a project leaves the company, or if teams get restructured. And by not making review mandatory, we are able to unblock cases like landing a high priority security patch while the reviewer of one of the affected packages is on vacation.

Roblox is not comparable to YouTube.

When you make a video and upload it to YouTube, that creation is entirely the result of your own hard work and ingenuity. YouTube doesn't need to exist for your video to exist.

When you make a game in Roblox, you are combining some amount of hard work and ingenuity of your own with a larger amount of hard work and ingenuity by Roblox Creation.

Interest rates are historically low. I'd imagine hedge funds are paying interest too. You'd never want to tie up all that capital to avoid a 2% interest rate.

The best argument "against prostitution" is the moral argument against consuming it: you don't and _can't_ know if the person you're paying for is too poor or too wasted to be able to choose to participate, or if they're being threatened with violence into participating by a pimp, for example. Coerced sexual activity with another person is r-pe (as opposed to, say, working at Burger King, which might be coerced by the need to survive but is not r-pe.) Enjoying r-pe is wrong.

If you don't think coerced sexual activity is r-pe, or you don't think that enjoying r-pe is wrong, the argument falls apart, of course, which is why this comment section is the way it is.

I think you misunderstand what the law does. It doesn't functionally prevent Fedora from sending source code to Iran, it prohibits it.

Inserting intermediaries into the custody chain is not always a solution. This is typically referred to as "sanction circumvention" and is often also illegal. I am not sure whether it would be in this specific case, but I do know one thing for sure: If the law does require a particular type of compliance, choosing a technology that makes it impossible to comply (or easier to hide) is not a defense.

For another example: Using bitcoin does not absolve people in the US from their legal obligation not to send money to sanctioned entities. If you do so, you can be prosecuted. The protocol isn't above the law. None are.

Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this type of sanction circumvention is legal in the scenario -- does Fedora allow, or think it's a good idea to have anonymous contributors? Solely for the purpose of circumventing US law? I just can't see this being a reasonable decision.
It is atrocious that the law allows using shelter as an investment. Only for the initial sale of the property should it be permitted to make profit. After that, properties should only be sold at cost between buyers.

This is not theoretical. People in Haiti are dying just 1400 miles away, and $70K could really help.

> Honest question, what is your source for this? Is it opinion or is it part of some declaration from some group?

> What happens when a developer is also a user? As I get it, for this particular developer, the end effect is the same.

I think the parent comment's point was that open source doesn't mean everyone is entitled to contribute back to the main project. As a user you may be a developer by trade, and you are certainly free to modify and share the source code, but the project maintainers are free to not include your changes back into their repository. A prime example of this is SQLite, which is open source despite the fact that they don't accept code submissions outside of the core team.

>> They're trying to keep Iranian contributors out of the code base because they fear the Iranian government can lean on him to plant malicious code.

> This is not a threat vector, not really.

It really is. The Linux kernel has itself thwarted what appeared to be an attempt by U.S. intelligence services to inject vulnerabilities into the kernel source code. Now the fact that the U.S. government was itself the threat may make worries about Iran doing the same seem rather silly, but in this case I think the fact that Fedora source code is used by the DoD makes sense.

All this to say, I'm certainly not happy about this situation. A big part of the spirit of open source is to overcome our differences in an attempt to solve shared problems. That's why the OSI definition of open source requires that open source licenses not discriminate against persons, groups, or fields of endeavor. That being said, however much open source may not want to be interested in politics, it is certainly true that politics is interested in open source.

I have worked in the nonprofit industry for 10 years. People with money have no moral obligation to give me money. The way the organizations I work with spend the money is about what you would expect for a business with no real economic incentive to be efficient or solve the advertised problem. Lots of politics, lots of waste, lots of egos.

I will never steward your life savings to improve the world as well as you would have stewarded it yourself. If you have resources and want to "give back" find ways to give back to the people and community around you. You can't outsource your goodness to some else.

There are good organizations out there of course. If you are in a position to give a large gift to a nonprofit, please do your research and use the principals of effective philanthropy.

>But what raising the minimum wage really does is put people at the bottom on a more equal footing with people not at the bottom

Unless those people's jobs evaporate because they become uneconomical for the employer.

The janitor in an NYC suburb who was formerly making say $14/hr will benefit from a $15/hr minimum wage. The guy who pushes a broom and delivers parts for $12/hr at a tractor dealership in the middle of nowhere will be in the unemployment line.

Minimum wage is a cudgel. It should be set at the city or county level (for a variety of reasons, the above being one), not the state or federal level.

I haven't, but I have seen discussions of it here. I'm not sure how it could make the situation any better really unless it can actually interoperate with closed protocols (how?) or actually takes over a significant enough portion of the market that people choose to use it in lieu of hangouts or iMessage or facebook, etc, and there are lots of incentives those use to make that unlikely.

In any other case, it's just the XKCD standards meme[1] all over again, in that it might be better in many ways, but I doubt it will actually help market fragmentation.

It reveals the actual role of these positions in society. They are not based on demand for a service, rather they are privileged positions awarded through a hierarchical selection process. In return, we get university teachers, which is the de facto service to society.
The user experience of lots of things is terrible if the relevant facilities aren't set up on the device you want to use at the time. It's a curse of our modern, highly-connected and always-online world. You get the same problem with logging into sites that require ID and password from a device that doesn't have your password manager on it.

But the fact is, many systems do work like that and many users do prefer it. I'm taking a pragmatic stance here because assuming the messy, unpredictable real world always follows some theoretical standards at a scale of billions of people and millions of organisations is very predictably going to give bad results in a lot of cases.

> Economy is doing well? Price increase! Economy is doing terribly because of global pandemic? Price increase!

The reason for price increasing is always supply curve of the house you might want is not keeping up with demand curve of people with more money who want that house.

There are lots of places in the US with house prices that are stagnant or increasing much slowly than elsewhere. But that is because there is lower demand.

Perhaps the word I should have used is "desire", as emotion springs from desire, and although specific emotional states are easily observable, the underlying desire is what often remains hidden, subject to the other's fantasies. But it's an aside at this point.

If you make money from the work of kids, you must be 100% fair with them. Giving them a worse cut than the parts of the game industry that are already under fire for not giving a big enough cut is not fair. Setting false expectations for them is not fair. And forcing them to earn $1000 before they can pull money out is not fair. Someone else mentioned that Second Life only requires $10 as their minimum.

But even if you're sure you're being 100% fair, you have to be incredibly clear with those kids about what's going on and how it works, and you should probably also make their parents very clear on it, too.

If you can't commit to that kind of fairness towards someone who can't legally sign contracts because the law recognizes that they don't have the life experience to do it fairly on their own, you shouldn't do it, and you definitely shouldn't base your business on it.
