I suspect the subletter is breaking the law, due to charging more than is allowed.

The victim is the person not able to rent on a first-come-first-serve basis instead of someone willing to pay more than is allowed.
How do I do it on my phone or tablet?
Yes, and that's the problem. If you think that the laws protect you, an average iPhone user, you are sadly mistaken. Laws are dictated by the highest bidder, and by those in power. If they want to go after gays, or Jews, or Blacks, or Moslems, or immigrants, or political activists, or whoever, do you think the laws are going to protect or remain neutral to those groups?
Google uses a dark pattern already so that law is screwed before it has even passed.
Nice; my "even better if" assuming this thesis project is still in motion:

1. Needs a "stop rotating" button (or a more prominent one if there is one already), especially for something that's for "Interactive Design Thesis"; it's a fascinating toy to play with but after 30 seconds of Globe rotating away from position I put it in, I got frustrated

2. This may be a preliminary version, but again, if a thesis for Interactive Design, being able to click on the globe would seem a pretty intuitive / expected reaction for most initial users

3. Feels like less of a "tunnel" thing and more of a "find out what's on the other side of the globe". It's a cool toy that sets incorrect and high expectations through the title/name.

Otherwise, pretty neat :). Cheers and good luck!

> they focus on the needs of developers instead of needs of the customers.

Oh this kind of software takes care of the needs of customers alright. Except their true customers are advertisers not users.

This adification of every single item we use every day is tiresome and will hopefully lead to a wide pendulum swing in the opposite direction once consumers truly have had enough. We're not there yet but I think it's coming.
> ever-changing connectors

iDevices have had only two connectors over their life time - the bulky 30-pin lasted thirteen years (2001-2014), and the Lighting connector from 2014 to this day. The iPad Pro has USB-C, so I won't complain there.

Macs also have only used standard connectors since the Intel era.

> revocable at the drop of a hat, to even write software for them

You don't need a paid certificate to write software for your own Mac/iDevices, you don't even need Xcode to create software for Macs (as evidenced by Homebrew/Macports).

Fully agree with you on the rest, though.
Isn't the landlord the victim in this case? The extra money should be going to them, not the lessee that is likely violating their rental agreement.

Or not. I mean, we used to have rent control in Boston and Cambridge, and when it was eliminated (by statewide referendum) rents just went up. And they went up in surrounding areas, as people went looking for cheaper rent elsewhere.

Gathering steam is right - people often underestimate the power of nation states (and blocs of nation states) because they can take a while to react. But it's like steering a supertanker - slow to turn, but once they're finally going in the intended direction they're impossible to ignore.
Even somewhat respectable channels do this thumbnail 'hack' because they claim they've A/B tested it and the "I am yelling loudly" look perform better. Possibly because more children click the thumbs than they otherwise would.

But, having watched the 'crate challenge' that is hot on IG and TT, I'm thinking my thumbnail comment might be giving adults too much credit.
>> If you replace the components as they wear out, you can still have a computer from the 1980's running fine. The OS and software still work exactly the same. Whatever data will still exist as a perfect copy.

That seems like an issue with current work, not with past work. And yes, it's an issue. Figuring out how to archive tools and buildchains is important.

Although, do modern OSes rely too much on the Internet, or does the modern development ecosystem?

>I don't think there's a single advocate for rent control that believe it will solve all housing problems.

I mean, OP literally did that, erroneously implying that rent control increases supply by using a historically incorrect example from 50s NYC.

This is why people get so annoyed with many proponents of rent control, they don't stop mid way as you do but keep going and implying it solves all housing problems.
I live in Sweden, rent control is practically non-existent for most people now. The trick is to buy a place as soon as you can, unfortunately property prices are also going up (20% YoY!) so that's tough too.

In Sweden you can't usually privately rent out an apartment for more than 2 years, without returning to live in it for some time (or selling it). So this puts a lot of pressure on to buy a place to live in, as the rental market is a disaster of moving every year.

Sweden needs to build far, far more flats and houses. Like 10x current levels at a minimum. The population has increased by 20% in the last 20 years.

>The "probably climate change" is supposition, hence the "probably"

Then maybe just leave it out next time. I'm tired of people claiming climate change is responsible with no data to back it up for every natural event. That's no better than someone claiming global warming doesn't exist because they have a cold week of snow.
> every economist agrees doesn’t work?

Yes, but "doesn't work" is a bit of a loaded term. Economists agree that rent control is not the most profitable way to price housing, but since the whole point of rent control is to prevent aggressive profit-seeking in housing, economists "agreeing it doesn't work" is intentionally the goal.

Rent controls job is not to make more housing (it has no control over that). Rent control's job is not to make housing cheaper (it has no control over that). Rent controls only job is to provide housing security for existing renters, and the vast majority of the time, it's successful at doing that.

If you also want cheaper housing overall, your supposed to pair rent control with a matching set of changes for non-rent-protected residents (like say, pair it with new construction of additional public-owned public-operated housing).
If they shut those down you can still purchase through decentralized exchanges. https://bisq.network/

In fairness, there's a lot of things economists say does not work, if it conflicts with their chosen life outlook.

But can it be said that an absence of rent controls works either? Look at the mess currently in cities all over the world. No Rent Control/Rent Control, makes no difference. Somethnig else is at play.

Do you have a source to back up the claim of 99%? It seems feasible, but I'd be interested in hard numbers on that because I haven't seen any.
There are separate controls on being able to rent out flats for more than 2 years.

So you can't really be an absentee landlord.

The rent controls apply to first-hand contracts (kinda like council housing in the UK). Which is basically non-existent for working people now.

You misunderstood their comment. Batteries of the same capacity at the same chemistry require the same thickness. So glue vs tabs has no impact on thickness. You don't need to change battery geometry for it to be removable.

It also doesn't take 1282 steps to get to the point you have to remove the battery. It takes 11 steps, most of which are just unplugging connectors. The 20 other steps are related to removing the adhesive, so unplugging and protecting stuff you wouldn't otherwise need to.
The grand majority of them aren't really complying with the law as they default to cookies on and use a series of dark patterns to avoid you turning them off. But so far the regulators haven't been dealing with the problem. But its well within their power to do so and fix it so there is a simple dismiss button and the default is no cookies if they start enforcing the law they have.
For all we know, it might do even better. 10 years is a long time by today's standards.
It's obviously a bit more complex than that, though. Most countries in europe have some form of rent caps, and some have fairly low average rents, while others have high rents. The economic idea simply doesn't fit with reality that well.
Funnily enough, I was shadowbanned from the only community in reddit that I was active and cared about (/r/firefox) after respectfully complaining about the redesign in 2 different posts. Maybe there's a threshold of how many times we're allowed to complain over there?

This was my first shadowban and teached me:

a) It's not worth to invest time in these communities.

b) To be shadow-banned is extremely insulting, especially if you didn't engaged in inflammatory or abusive behavior.

c) I will not engage in a community that shadow-ban people even if they have inflammatory or abusive behavior, everyone should, at the very least, understand why they we're banned and learn from it.

Thankfully, nothing of value was lost and now I simply don't care enough about Firefox or Reddit anymore.
If anyone wants a more useful comprehensive data point. Between Insurance premiums and out of pocket spending for services, the average American spends $4,516 a year. Oddly enough, the US also spends $4,197 a year in public spending, the third highest in the world, without the “costly” universal healthcare. Combined, the US outspends all other countries by a large margin. But with that spending we have less doctors, less doctor visits, poorer health outcomes, and lower life expectancy. But we do lead the world in prescription drugs and expensive diagnostic imaging.[1] We also waste $150,000,000,000 a year on paperwork (highest per capita in the world) because hospitals have to haggle with a bunch of different insures for every single thing.[2]

>In 2013, the average U.S. resident spent $1,074 out-of-pocket on health care, for things like copayments for doctor’s office visits and prescription drugs and health insurance deductibles. Only the Swiss spent more…As for other private health spending, including on private insurance premiums, U.S. spending towered over that of the other countries at $3,442 per capita—more than five times what was spent in Canada ($654), the second-highest spending country…Even though the U.S. is the only country without a publicly financed universal health system, it still spends more public dollars on health care than all but two of the other countries…Higher spending appeared to be largely driven by greater use of medical technology and higher health care prices, rather than more frequent doctor visits or hospital admissions…Despite spending more on health care, Americans had poor health outcomes, including shorter life expectancy and greater prevalence of chronic conditions [1]

A realistic way to manage this demand issue has two options: build more units (can’t go on forever), or stabilize the population. Else, you double bunk or triple bunk like in Soviet times. You can’t magically solve a shortage via price controls.

Unless you make it come to yourself by boycotting adware, the fact that adware is everywhere is proof to the contrary.
Yes, FORTRAN-80 was a Microsoft product, belonging to a suite of compilers and interpreters (e.g. COBOL-80, BASIC-80, etc.) for the operating system CP/M and for CPUs compatible with Intel 8080, e.g. Zilog Z80. These were the main Microsoft products before its involvement with MS-DOS.

I have used FORTRAN-80 quite a lot, before being able to use an IBM PC compatible computer.

An 8080 or Z80 was able to do only about 100 (@ 2 MHz) to 200 (@ 4 MHz) double-precision floating-point operations per second.

When I was able to use for the first-time a PC/AT with an 80386DX @ 25 MHz with coprocessor, which could do 100 thousand such operations per second, I recompiled an older FORTRAN-80 program and its run time dropped from 1 hour on CP/M to a few seconds on the PC/AT. Obviously I was very impressed.

What if there was a genetically engineered bamboo that was denser than seawater, so that you could grow it and just dump it in the deep ocean... you could have trains of barges taking it to the coast and dumping it. Bamboo is also highly regular so its growth could probably be mechanized/automated to a degree.

Depends on your definition of societal status quo. If it includes "not out of business", then I think the example still holds. Citigroup's positioning helped them secure $20 billion in government bailout loans following the 2008 crash, while most Americans wanted to let them fail.

I thought Western Digital had vertically integrated their SSDs after the purchase of SanDisk?

According to that Wikipedia list, Western Digital does manufacture their own flash, through a joint venture with Kioxia.
Sure, but 99% of people will sell, and the price will crash.
I love nuclear but we are not going to deprecate fossil fuels. You can't build neither nuclear nor wind or solar without huge amounts of fossil fuels and again electricity is less than 20% of a country's energy consumption.
Based on what I learnt from my economics class back in the day, rent control is never supposed to work. A ceiling on rents would reduce the supply and eventually the quality of housing available will also drop.

Rent control is usually a vote-winner, but vast majority of economists would also agree that it is a bad policy.
Wow, I'm more average than I suspected. My total is ~5400 give or take a bit.
Agreed.

I personally found them to be like "wow, look how hip we are young children".
Well with food there are readily available numbers that approximate the long-term-effect of food (e.g. saturated fat, preservatives, vitamins, glycemic index). Does a company really have a way to quantify the emotional impact on its users of a code change? And if it did, would they optimize for that or focus on profit margin?

How effective would such a vaccine need to be? A vaccine of say 70% might be effective enough for herd immunity for a disease that is contagious person to person. But you don't get Lyme disease from other people so herd immunity is not possible, unless the intention is to inoculate deer, (no pun intended).
On iOS you have to use their JS virtual machine and their HTML5 renderer. I think you can write your on UI and possibly network engine (although that might be locked down as well, but you can definitely proxy all the results.
This is exactly the source of my frustration as well. I'm naturally inclined towards iterative development, frequent steering, and interacting with the people that will actually use the stuff that I'm building. I believe in those aspects of the agile mindset.

What has worn me down over the past few years is the constant refrain that we are "behind" and "don't have time" for a lot of things that appear to me to be essential. We've been in a mode where we don't really have time to explore options. And once we've made a decision, we rarely revisit it even as information changes.

I don't think this has anything to do with agile per se. One could argue that it's Scrum's fault, but even then I don't think you can lay the blame directly there. The point of sprints is to create frequent steering points. As new information comes up, let's make sure that we're still pursuing the correct course. But sprints can easily be misunderstood to be frequent deadlines that must be hit. There's some value there, but I think that misses the mark somewhat.

I think a lot of it stems from a conflict of personality styles. From what I've seen, some people like the treadmill - it gives them direction, purpose, and energy. But for somebody like me, that treadmill is more of a grindstone.
I, for one, prefer free speech to deplatforming. Who gets to say what’s right or wrong — you?
>The victim is the person not able to rent on a first-come-first-serve basis instead of someone willing to pay more than is allowed.

That's indeed the only sensible thing I can think of. But it's a very odd thing to me (that a mutual, consensual agreement between two people is governed by the interests of third parties).
Rent control works just fine in doing what its intended to do. It's just that what its intended to do isn't to provide housing at affordable prices, but to gain votes for those who implement rent control.
I understand you're making a reductio ad absurdum argument here, but this is actually very similar to what LEO often tries to do today (e.g. searches based on what is smelled / seen inside your car at a traffic stop) and actually iDog might be constitutional.

The constitutional standard for a warrant search is "probable cause", and for a warrantless search you generally also need exigent circumstances. Assuming that a judge is sufficiently satisfied with the iDog's nose, and the iDog was sniffing somewhere public like the sidewalk when it found the meth smell, you could likely establish both probable cause (iDog smells meth) and exigent circumstances (meth labs often blow up, meaning there's emergent danger that cannot risk waiting for a warrant).

That's not to excuse Apple, just to provide a fun backstory on the things law enforcement gets to do in this country.

Another one that was nearly deemed constitutional: in Kyllo v United States, LEOs used thermal imaging to find an Oregon man's house was radiating a high amount of heat indicative of intense grow lights, which they used as probable cause to search the home for an illegal pot growing operation. This was only found unconstitutional by a 5-4 decision in the supreme court. If it were found constitutional, you can imagine we'd have helicopters flying overhead thermal imaging for pot operations today.
This is at least 8 months old and the study it was based on was withdrawn due the flaws discovered in it.
Rent control is not working because it cannot work - it is directly contradicting the laws of nature, such as supply and demand. Housing gets build in order to extract profit from it. If you disallow profit, you are disincentivizing new housing construction, and you create perverse incentives to work around rent control.

I'm pretty sure the QC35s still work fine as normal headphones with the battery dead and 3.5mm cable. That's how my Sony WH-1000XM3s work. You only need to turn them on to use noise canceling or have them be Bluetooth. They also quick charge giving a couple hours usage in a few minutes of usage. It's a bit of a tradeoff but the convenience is IMO worth it.
Yes, that's what I had in mind, and I suspect it's already going on to some extend with votes and follow ups, which is easier than content generation, until the later becomes so good you can let it roll free.
