The housing situation in Stockholm (and many other parts of the country) is pretty bleak.

Buying an apartment is expensive, and problematic even for well payed young people. In central Stockholm prices are around 1000 USD / sq feet (≈10000 EUR / sq meter), and you need a 15% down payment. For a 400 square feet single room apartment that's a down payment of a full years post-tax salary. If you manage to save 20% of it, then it'll take you five years.

Until you can afford it, the best option is market-priced second hand contracts. Which work well enough, but are quite expensive and very insecure. The landlords often bought the apartments with the intention to live in them, so most contracts are semi-temporary.

First hand rent-controlled contracts are extremely hard to get and basically not an option. The queues are decades long. There's often a 2-300% difference between second-hand (market) rates and first hand contracts, so once someone gets such a contract, they'll never move out.

Of course the lower cost of rent-controlled apartments helps the inner-city be more diverse, allowing people with lower income living there. But there's also a large share of well-of people that have gotten their contracts via connections, or who have just been in the queue for a really long time.

I really hope that the rent-controls are abolished in my lifetime, but there's a vocal large public option for them, so I'm not too sure...

Increasingly I am looking at purchasing my software, instead of using freemium or subscription services that lock you in forever. Here's what I've bought since 2019. All of the below were one-time purchases:

- Affinity Designer + Publisher (Photoshop + InDesign replacement, $35 each)

- Tumult Hype (Adobe Animate replacement, $100)

- SimpleMind (mindmapping tool, MacOS, around $40)

- Bootstrap Studio (WYSIWIG site builder, $59)

- YouCut (Android video editor, $11.99 full version)

- Sketch ($99 for 1 year of updates; more than enough for storyboarding and basic prototyping)
Shouldn't that be separate? If you buy a 10k speaker today, it's going to sound excellent in 10 years, but the software will long be dead, perhaps taking the speaker with it. Separating the smart from the speaker leads to cheap future upgrades of just the components you need.
> so they can demand for 10k USD from you as in the OP

I think you and others in this thread are fundamentally confused - the OP has paid nothing - the cost is Apple’s.
Because all of their competitors are also raising their prices. Why would companies reduce prices and profits when the demand exists even with higher costs?

Samsung, which is the largest IC manufacturer, recently increased prices: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-foundry-to-hike-wa...

If you look at prices for the stuff a lot of wafer capacity is going towards, particularly Flash and RAM, you'll see that the prices have gone up 20%+ over the last year.

I think people like to pick out TSMC because of the politics surrounding Taiwan and China, and maybe because a lot of companies use TSMC for their IC production and like to complain. People don't notice as much when other ICs like flash, ram, micros, etc are slowly increased in price.
'Deet' is also available as repellent against ticks, although less effective. Permethrin is (also) extremely toxic to fish and aquatic life.
I kind of like this, assuming they don't change their software too much(or at all).

If Discord wants to win me over, they need to adjust their layout & themes. The default dark mode and the light mode both are not comfortable to me, and I'm someone that likes the default Slack theme or irssi/weechat in terminal on a black background.
It can be done via Anbox or WayDroid, but additional steps (e.g. via QEMU) are needed to run ARM-based apps on a typical x86 desktop, and performance might be a bit underwhelming.
C++ is actually a very bad choice for "foundational" technology, as it is quite difficult for other languages to link against C++ libraries. Plain C, or any language which out of the box supports C compatible linkage for the API, is a much better choice.

Here, Go is a very good choice. Easy to read, very approachable. In general, the greater memory safety and simpler memory handling, makes it a great choice for software like this.
Yes, the government does. Things can go very wrong with the state and the market. I have no patience for one's fears entirely being over one not the other.

Yes, we have endemic regulatory capture. Yes, we have shitty voting systems that severely restrict the electoral options and, worse, the Overton window.

But also, study the WW2 build-up. This was heavy state managed and did a fantastic job, and certainly our voting system were no better then.

I also hope a combination of UBI and Carbon taxes can work — so the relative prices of things change but the overall cost of living doesn't go up.

But a very easy to understand example of where that is insufficient is that it will be much more efficient to build out public transit than try to make electric cars for everyone cheap.
This really doesn't simulate anything.
In chat app this is not so much an option because network effects. Nobody will use 17 chat app with a different for each thing, only 4 or 5.
Suppose the following price breakdown for a pack of cigarettes:

cost: $3
profit: $1
tax: $1
total price: $5

The government decides to increase the tax by $1, now it's

cost: $3
profit: $1
tax: $2
total price: $6

As you can see, the total price went up $1, but the tobacco company's per-unit profit is the same. They can increase the price by more than the tax (eg. hiking the price by $1.5 rather than $1), but that's equivalent to hiking the price $0.5 without an associated tax increase, which they can do at any time.
Masks can't be sealed and all the studies that say they are somewhat effective use mannequins with perfect seals. Real world data from Florida shows schools with and without mandates had the same rates of infection which mirrored the general communities.

At a quick first read, this came across as not much more than just a list of lesser-known siblings of famous classical mythological figures. The author mentions Jung and sibling rivalries in one sentence at the end, but doesn't really go anywhere with this idea. Is there any point here that I missed? I kind of get the vibe that an author with writers' block and a deadline spent about half an hour squeezing a classical dictionary to get something just passable as an essay.
Except of course that if you read the article you'll notice that the main reason it does not work is because people abuse the system. The forces of supply and demand can be overridden, but then you have to enforce the rules and that is where things are derailing in this particular example. People subletting rent controlled apartments for profit or passing them on to relatives is the problem, not the rent control by itself.

Those queues are for public first-hand contracts. You can always rent second-hand (for up to 2 years, from a private owner), private first-hand (more expensive queues from development firms), company rentals (in some cases, your company can be a guarantor, and you rent like a commercial entity with no time limit or deposit, etc. but usually higher rents), or you can buy a place.

The issue is there aren't enough first-hand contracts, or enough properties in general. But the rent controls as discussed only apply to first-hand contracts, which are the minority.

The availability of the high bandwidth, low latency FTTP internet is lagging severly enough for these to have no impact.

The use cases where I, a high end gaming PC owner, would use streaming services are: travelling. Except unless you visit a city center, you aren't getting 5G, and you aren't getting WiFi 6 speeds. I'm in the UK, and here my parents live, where I live and where my friends live, none have the speeds capable for it. I imagine things are even worse in 95% of the US too.

Game streaming won't happen in a country unless most of the country has 100MBit down
It potentially creates a supply problem, if certain assumptions are met.

However those assumptions rarely hold in practice. In the US, to get a construction loan, you can't assume a big rise in rents in coming years. So the financial decision to build new housing is gated by an effective assumption of rent control by the financiers.
Cancer is exactly why we vaccinate against HPV, as it's a huge cause of cervical cancer.

It doesn't. There is no cost to anyone else, unless you believe all purchases of all products automatically hurt someone else (since every purchase you make technically reduces overall supply by the amount you purchased)

I quit using reddit regularly about two years ago, but I still checked up on it maybe once a month until a couple of months ago.

What's really telling is opening the site without being logged in to my old account. I never have to scroll more than 5-10 posts down to find an obvious astroturfing political post, or a screenshot of a 15-word tweet being hailed as some masterstroke of political discourse.

Reddit's primary societal function these days seems to be serving interest groups and providing a testing ground for psyops.

I am trying to be kind. Even if you take the 30K number, the scale is pretty close to nonsensical.

I have yet to find a single purported solution that passes what I call the "Excel Test". In other words, running something slightly above a superficial mathematical model of the solution that includes some physics and economics. In my experience the model doesn't have to be deep and complex to quickly reach the conclusion that the so-called solution isn't, in fact, a solution. The problem is that almost nobody does this. Nobody seems to care to take these delusion merchants to task and ask the hard questions. And so we keep talking about a fantasy rather than the hard and cold reality of the matter. We cannot fix a planetary scale problem. We simply can't. We need to focus on living with it.
The point is, rental markets without rent control are also failing to provide affordable housing. It's a quandary with no obvious solutions.
This reminds me of the grocery shopping in communist Romania. My family would spend so little on groceries every month...maybe 400 LEI out of 2 salaries of 2000, so under 10%. The catch is there was nothing on the shelves, if they would bring in bread you would have in instant queue for 2 hours. Same for cabbages, carrots etc.

If you just look at the expense you'll miss the fact that people don't get enough groceries, or apartments.
The Guardian coined the headline "Big oil coined ‘carbon footprints’ to blame us for their greed" to blame big oil for our collective greed.
That is why the proceeds of such a tax should be given back to the population directly. That way if your CO2 emissions are average, it's a net zero financially for you but you're incentivized to reduce your emissions as you could actually gain money if you go below average (in effect it would mostly be the rich that lose money as they're quite often the biggest CO2 emitters).

However the implementation of such a tax, although conceptually simple, is practically very complicated.
CO2 emissions need to peak no later than 2025 in order to avoid more than 1.5 degrees of warming, according to the IPCC report.
I mean the previous host of the show was literally just "some guy" who was a games show presenter and was friends with the producer, same situation with Art Fleming before him.

I don't know if we really need to treat Jeopardy! as a hallowed institution instead of a game show on at dinner time that's been running for a while.
Stockholm has the worst. I needed to live and work there for a year. There is rent control, housing queues and black market. Everyone that I met had already been in the queue.So, it is definitely not for new comers. Black market roughly 40% of net income. So, Housing in there quite fucked up.
I love commercial Oyster mushrooms but the ones I pick myself make me sick (queasy, GI symptoms.) My wife has no problem with them.

That's a good reason not to incorporate wild mushrooms into a product.

I used to pick Boletus mushrooms when I was a kid, something I learned from the Polish side of my family. As an adult I've tried sampling Boletuses from the woods but most of the ones I find are horribly bitter.

About chromium on cross origin remove of alert and co.(link in article):

"We haven’t engaged with other browser vendors regarding this change yet, but plan to submit a spec change proposal once the change is approved for Chrome."

So chrome just changes it. And then officially applys for the spec change, so other browsers might follow - or not.

I mean, why pretending at all, that you care about the spec, when you are fat monopolist?
Population doesn’t grow that fast, you can build enough to keep ahead of the curve for a long time especially if you keep zoning in check. What nobody mentions is the real reason rents go up is an oversupply of jobs in the area vs housing. Keep the housing to office space ratio reasonable and rents never explode, except that shifts costs to business rather than individuals.
I think back then libresolv was separate from libc since many programs didn’t need it, and memory was tight
High use means you need large quantities of high quality content. Low use means you can use a small amount of high quality content as a "loss leader" then back fill with cheap garbage no one is going to watch anyway.
It sucks that you're being downvoted because people don't understand the Swedish housing system and that the main rent controls only apply to first-hand contracts.

Stockholm doesn't have the same setup as New York.

That said, the 20% YoY increase in property prices is insane.
Yeah. They reap all these benefits. When it's OUR turn to exercise our public domain rights, they change the rules of the game. They move the goalposts.

Why respect their rights when they don't respect ours? There is absolutely no reason to recognize their "property" as legitimate.
That's a pretty lie that citizens in a democracy get to tell themselves so they don't have to take responsibility for the will of the people coming to a bad decision. Walmart and Amazon can afford to shape the news, but they don't hold the pen in the voting booth.

"Absolute governments, (tho’ the disgrace of human nature) have this advantage with them, they are simple; if the people suffer, they know the head from which their suffering springs; know likewise the remedy; and are not bewildered by a variety of causes and cures." ~Thomas Paine
It's because we see construction in a concentrated area where it is allowed, but then there are VAST areas off limits to anything but building a bigger house.
Libraries loaded with RTLD_LOCAL will still have their symbols resolved against those from already loaded libraries as well as the main executable. Looks like there is dlmopen() in glibc since ~2005 though and there is libcapsule [0] which makes it actually usabel - neat.

So basically, rent control caused the exact set of problems that every competent economist knows that price ceilings cause?
There is still lots of windows software being made with WPF or winforms. You could learn that and maybe find some work in that.
Would abolishing them really help though?

I also rent second-hand and it sucks, but I don't think things will improve just by abolishing the controls on first-hand contracts.

We just need to build far, far, far more. Especially with so much immigration.
I think we need more well-maintained "parts" that can be used as alternatives to libc. For instance, string operations can be 5x faster on AVX2, but not every distro provides this code.

I recently upgraded some Centos 6 machines (glibc 2.17) to Debian 10 (glibc 2.28) and system-provided strstr got about 5x faster, which was really important to my binary. I imagine similar differences exist between musl and glibc, due to lack of AVX2 or some other Intel optimizations in musl.

But meanwhile, everyday functions like strstr or memcmp (that don't even allocate memory) are totally glued to the system libc (often with a slow version for your architecture). There is no broken-out "fast intel string ops" library that you can link with to ensure great+consistent performance on your target CPU (though I guess you could roll your own with nasm).

Are big shared libc libraries good for security or other reasons? Maybe. But it does not make performance consistent across distros. It's fine for different distros to be 10% different in speed, but it's really not okay for them to be 500% apart.
To the extent that the incentive to build is reduced, the problem is with the idea that incentives should determine the rate of building, and not with rent control.

Providing housing security to existing residents through rent stabilization is a moral imperative. Homeowners such as myself have access to it through mortgages. Renters should have the same.

Beyond that, of course we need to build a ton of new housing. That can either be done by the state directly, or by loosening zoning regulations, or by some other means.
Build more units:

That's impossible if not initiated by someone actually interested in providing more apartments.

* urban planning and approval costs a lot
* raw materials reached all time high
* labor costs are very high even if we subcontract to Eastern Europe

You cant wish building more units into existence the same way you cant implement rent control.

Decentralization and not requiring people to work/live in areas with huge demand for housing is just the first step alleviate some of this pain.
There is no solution. There’s only so much land, not everyone wants to be surrounded by skyscrapers. Some people will get to live where they want, some people won’t. Supply and demand.
A number of years ago, when the controversy was brewing, I sat down and read the Paris agreement. The thing is a joke. It will do nothing for anyone other than shift billions of dollars into a number of nations for doing nothing. We already know some nations used the money to buy fleets of cars and airplanes, which is the very definition of irony.

The problem with a lot of these things is that everyone forms an opinion without investing any time reading the material (like the agreement) and doing even the most basic math to verify claims. And yet everyone knows we can "save the planet", it would be funny if it weren't so serious.
ECS Back and Forth (2019)
Strange how rents were manageable in the UK while there was a national not for profit council house building program.

Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned from that.
As a benchmark, the dengue fever vaccine (Dengvaxia) is about 60-70% effective and is very effective at suppressing the worst symptoms, but may actually put the person being vaccinated under more risk of serious symptoms if they've never had Dengue before and manage to catch it anyway post-vax. Dengue is an unusual disease in that, to simplify somewhat--there are actually 4 strains--catching Dengue a second time can be much more serious than the first time.

Anyway, between the effectiveness, possible side effects, and the aforementioned risk, it's not considered a great vaccine and it's authorized for fairly limited use in the US.
You left out the worst thing: the upvote-downvote system, which ensures that an hivemind echo chamber is almost guaranteed to arise. Any slightly controversial post, or in fact anything which does not run with the dominating opinion, is immediately hidden from view.

> So if you want a binary to work across multiple distributions, you can build it on a really old CentOS and if you are lucky it will work, but I have no trust in this.

For a very long time (decades?) VMware's Linux build system relied on exactly this ability, and managed to ship and support a binary package on many different Linux distributions using this approach.

Not sure if it still works this way, but I'd say I have trust in it.

Everything you mentioned "has" to work, day in and out. If gas or water would go out, the local government would be out with the first elections. So they have a very strong incentive to make it work with public subsidies.

Whereas the politicians won't care that a large percentage of would-be new residents for their city can't get in and have to commute. In fact, it's a perverse incentive: the locals love the lower rent, and there is no one to vote out the politicians that like rent controls.
