Not the parent poster. For maps I use OSM. I have 3 apps installed, Pure Maps, OSMscout and modRana. I don't use navigation, but I understand that with OSM the navigation can be somewhat of a disappointment.

There was a native app for Here Maps, but IIRC it was only licensed and available for the Jolla 1. I don't have it installed on my Sony XA2 and I think it's not available either.
On a per-capita basis, I’d expect criminals would be at more risk in a devolution towards lawlessness.

On a population-wide basis, non-criminals have much more to lose.

>This allows mining farms to be located adjacent to hydro dams or wind farms to get the cheapest energy and use energy that would otherwise be lost in transmission.

Sure, but there doesn't seem to be to be any indication that this is what actually happens. Is there any evidence for that?
A potential tenant has some incentive. If there was a public record of which properties were rent controlled, as a tenant looking for property and I ran into one I thought was sublet, I could compare it with the list and report it. Basically it would become hard to advertise them because it would be easy to check. TBH, you could make it illegal to advertise property that was being sublet and put the onus on Zoopla/RightMove/whoever to do a quick API check for an address.

You're right that if it was the cheapest way of getting property then tenants probably wouldn't report. But if the whole thing is making property more expensive then I definitely would.

Recently on Reddit there were some screenshots of a ground-floor 'studio' flat that was entered through a window. It didn't have a door and was still quite expensive. That's illegal according to UK rules, and lots of people on Reddit happily reported it.

Yes, there will be people who want the album. Or at least the song. For example, people who heard a song in a club and used a music fingerprinting service like Shazam to find it.
Rent control is not the cause. These suburbs you correctly identify as undesirable would not become more palatable just because landlords were allowed to extract extortionate rents from an inherently limited supply resource.

What you suggest would in fact probably lead to MORE segregation and MORE of the same issues.

Wages don’t magically rise because you abolish rent control, either. You would simply price out the less wealthy to live… in the shitty suburbs.
Almost none of bitcoins usage is by the people that need it.
>False. OP (me) was implying that it didnt meaningfully restrict supply.

The OP said "fastest period of homebuilding" with fastest being in italics. I don't see how that can be read as anything except saying rent control increases supply.
I did mean to reply to your comment, but sorry if I've conflated packaging and application development. It was this sentence that confused me most:

> in about 2007 very few Debian packages had their packaging in any sort of standard version control tool (CVS, SVN, etc.) You'd get the sources via apt-get source, and then if you wanted to contribute, you could send in a patch by email to the bug tracker and the maintainer would incorporate it.

Here I think you're using "contribute" to refer to contributing to the application codebase, not the packaging codebase. But why would contributing to the application codebase have anything to do with Debian technology such as apt-get source and a debian bug tracker, and why would the maintainer pick up patches from such places? Surely, to contribute to the application you go to the application homepage (often Github nowadays) and open a PR?
Fell pretty hard while snowboarding.
Someone doesn't become a "landlord who rather let their properties sit unused than accept market-acceptable rents" by owning a holiday home they aren't renting out, and aren't planning to rent out. "Should people be allowed to have holiday homes for exclusive use" is not the same question.
The supply of land is (mostly) fixed but the relationship between land and housing units is not. You can build row houses or multi-story apartment buildings instead of single-family homes, so the supply of land is almost never the binding constraint. What is a major constraint is various restrictions on building additional housing stock (and particularly building higher density housing stock) but that is a malleable constraint. Given that constraint maybe price controls on housing aren't so bad but still having an equilibrium where there is dramatically more demand for housing than supply is bad. Either you get sky-high prices or you get rationing through other means (you can only get a rent controlled apartment if you have connections or just get lucky).
Yeah this is the big difference. A home in Japan is not an investment. You buy a home to live in, the mortgage is around the same or a bit cheaper than rent, but the property depreciates like a car, and while the land has value, the house you built on it has negative value (since the next tenant has to tear it down).
This is fantastic! Client/server architecture is easier than peer to peer at small scales. Huge internet companies are moving back distributed architectures, albeit distributed in the cloud only. But the kinds of problems you run into with these distributed server architectures are similar to the kinds of problems you run into with peer to peer architectures.

The funny thing about all of this is everyone has a tendency to build for a larger scale than they need, which means they take on more complexity than they need, which means that if they made their apps peer to peer native they might scale more easily for free.

Another thought: distributed storage is a solved problem thanks to encryption, but distributed compute is not a solved problem because homomorphic encryption is so limiting. There are two ways compute can be made more friendly for distribution: make homomorphic encryption viable (extremely hard) or make it really easy to plug compute that you control into the network and the new compute starts computing in your network with minimal configuration. I think the latter solution is best for the near future. And this type of product is what we need to implement the latter solution.
I think the goal of the squatters isn’t to own the property, it’s to just get a roof over their heads and extort the owners in the process. They’ve carefully chosen a legal zone where they have a lot of room to maneuver.
Maintainer of the Alpine glibc package referenced here. For some background context, this package was originally created to solve a specific problem long before Alpine provided glibc compatibility packages like `libc6-compat` and others. I agree that this package shouldn't be considered "blessed" or an official Alpine package or a default solution for running programs originally compiled against the GNU C library on Alpine Linux, far from it. The source control repository uses `alpine-pkg-` as a prefix to denote what it's used for—not as a means of assumed official status or such like.

What I find saddening is to see passive aggressive statements like

> I have additionally suggested that the TSC may wish to have the Alpine Council reach out to the alpine-glibc project to find a solution which appropriately communicates that the project is not supported in any way by Alpine.

To the Alpine Linux TSC: please get in contact with me about any and all disclaimers you want to add to this package! I'd love to have these discussions faster and in the open, rather than discovering this disquiet tangentially. Let's get these issues resolved as soon as possible in a way that everyone concerned finds acceptable.

Key things about Kube apiserver
Chip making uses "a lot of water." (Parts of) Arizona is experiencing water shortage, particularly aquifer draw down.

I wonder what the effect of chip making in Arizona will be in Arizona, relative to other water use.

Parts of Arizona by law don't meter aquifer use, which disincentivizes current ag users to conserve, and has incentivized corporate ag to relocate there. (From memory, and I may have botched that memory)

I wonder if TSMC is locating in an unmetered location, or getting a formal water regulation break.
> Some uses of this are entirely legitimate (eg escaping capital controls in certain currencies). Some are not (ie all the illegal usages).

It's an unpopular proposition to state that there exists a collective responsibility to make individual adaptations to combat climate change.

I also argued that the lockdown was good for combating climate change, and there are many people who are desperate to leave their bedroom communities, hop in their car, and commute to the downtown office.
In the US, snowbirds often live in New England/New York/upper Midwest in the summer and in Florida for the winter. Not many people want to only rent for the 6 suckiest weather months the places are otherwise empty (meaning such tenants can be hard to find, not willing to pay enough to make it worth the hassle).
When legal systems fail, folks will turn to 'hard men' to get justice. Thus it has always been, thus it shall be.

To avoid this a society should aim for just laws, swift execution of those laws by law enforcement, and speedy trials by courts. If any of those three are failing, other avenues of justice will be sought by those who can afford it and that impacts the poor who can't 'afford' justice.
It's a tricky one, certainly.

There is probably a graph somewhere showing how much effort to fix is too much effort, vs how much bad will in the community this project is inducing, vs how much value this project has.

So no, Apple's system being jammable is a great "booby prize" right up to the point where Apple fix the algorithms, or the chinese government start reporting these false positives as bugs and saying that Apple must fix the bugs before their devices can be sold in China.

And so, one has to assume that if the algorithms can be fixed, they will be fixed. If we can DDoS Apple's human checking capability while it's still young, we might be able to prevent more resource being sunk into it - though I agree, that's unlikely. If we can do all that AND make it clear that this is going to cause nothing but bad will, and if we can get enough governments to regulate against it, then there may be hope.

So your question was, why do people think this software isn't going to work, and the answer is we really hope it isn't going to work and really hope that enough people get onboard with the efforts to subvert it and really hope that the message sinks in to Apple that this was a doomed project that they should abandon for good.

But with enough money and time, there is no problem that can't be overcome. So even if it is a currently jammable child protection system, in the future is will almost definitely become a robust human rights violation system. In the space between those two points there is hope. Slim hope, but hope nonetheless.
That sounds theoretically possible, but it doesn't happen in practice, does it? (Which means that something is missing from this model of how squatters work.)

Most of us leave our homes for the day to go to work and come back (or did, before 2020, at least). I don't know of a single case of someone returning home to find a squatter.
Probably the limiting factor is one needs to make sure the customers of chips stay viable. I mean, one hopes the shortage will eventually be over and foundries will want to make sure they didn't gut their own market.

I’m not sure why you are being downvoted. This is absolutely the case. Big-time property owners like Blackrock don’t care so much; they have the time and money and thousands of other assets to use the legal system for eviction. Small-time landlords (think somebody who bought a few properties to retire on the income) incur heavy, lifestyle-altering losses.

The BBC article focuses heavily on a family that was fraudulently leased an apartment, which is a very sympathetic case; the criminals are unnamed, faceless grifters. But it is far more common that squatters are fully aware of what they are doing, and exploiting the slow pace of the legal system in whichever jurisdiction to get away with it.

And yes, this happens in the U.S. too.
As far as I know this is still in A/B testing as well, and not a fully rolled out feature. I've had a friend with it for the better part of the year, yet I have yet to get the option on any of my servers.
When I was a kid, TV came for free over the air, and the TV stations made their money selling advertisements. Then came cable TV, which you had to pay extra money for, but which included lots of ad-free stations. But after a while, cable caught on and almost everybody was paying for it, and the cable stations realized they could double-dip and not only charge you to get cable TV, but start putting ads into their previously ad-free stations. After a while, the "included" cable stations had as many ads as the old broadcast stations.

I suspect that the pay software products will follow a similar route and monetize every way they can.

You don't get any legal rights over the property even after long periods of time (as in some countries or US states that give you rights kind of similar to a tenant if you stay long enough).

Here you can only wait to get evicted, and that'll happen sooner or later. But as right now the courts are understaffed and overworked, it's more later than sooner. Probably between a couple months to two years.

Also, during the pandemics, evictions were suspended to avoid situations of people loosing their jobs, and then their homes and having no surviving options in the middle of a lockdown,
Apple understands and knows how to build customer devices and products. They have no understanding of web and infrastructure. Building search engine is way beyond their competency as an organization.
I've known someone who had to deal with this. Junkies can be impossible to evict, doubly so right now. They're overconfident, however. The key is to get them to sign a drafted agreement (you can get this on camera) and move everything out yourself, then have someone stay the night. They'll try to break in looking for drugs the same night, just call the police.
For what it's worth, I indeed thought of a a direction where app store would be the major aspect of it.The idea would be this ROM would be a "safe place". With regards to app store, this would mean:

- with "all you can eat" monthly subscription that gets you all the apps included, so no whaling allowed

- and with severe policing against dark patterns

- including a "panic button" so users can report whether they got addicted to some app.

But when I tried to design that, I very quickly ended up into a rabbit hole of "how to compute which app deserves which share of the revenue". And then, how to define "dark patterns".

And here I am, still haven't actually tried anything.
The far left had in short order become more insufferable than the far right. The lack of self-awareness is astounding. Truly a totalitarian movement.

"Start teaching new tricks to the old ones" on the web usually means shipping a bunch of extra JavaScript. Which is fine when a new pattern or paradigm is being felt out, but once everybody is using this one library to do this thing the exact same way, you reach a point where it makes more sense to enshrine it in a native API.

Yeah this is literally capitalism. Apply the same logic to housing:

Its so sad that we are all paying the price for the commodification of housing; We have 10x homes for every single homeless person, and rent continues to skyrocket upward, all because we have a system where people are incentivized to buy houses so that they can rent them out for a profit. If only we decommodified housing, we could end homelessness and reduce cost of housing for everyone else.
How long before squatters are encouraged by eviction companies to squat. Its crazy how much the owners are paying without any permanent solution.
seems like a of the all to familiar trend of a lack of affordable housing in major cities + crime at the margins in the form of squatting empty lots?

either way, seems like there needs to be some sort of tax if there properties that are just sitting empty while the homelessness keeps rising
One thing that could help, but obviously would not completely solve everything is some sort of "organic" label/certification for software. Basically have someone audit the software and check that it doesn't screw the user in any way. For many categories of software, if you could sell the software as not doing any of this or other bad stuff, it would make sense to stay within the bounds of the certification.

Of course some business models are fundamentally toxic and they could never not break some of the rules.

I wrote about the idea here https://keke.dev/blog/2020/11/29/organic-software.html
> so I might be missing something

You're surely calculating a useful number, but it's not the "vaccine efficacy". Definition from the CDC website:

Vaccine efficacy/effectiveness is interpreted as the proportionate reduction in disease among the vaccinated group. So a VE of 90% indicates a 90% reduction in disease occurrence among the vaccinated group, or a 90% reduction from the number of cases you would expect if they have not been vaccinated.

Your calculation looks at the number of hospitalised people not in the people who got the disease.

So, on a first glance it seems you're computing a useful number: how effective is the vaccine from preventing your to get hospitalised assuming that you would have been hospitalised if you caught covid. Surely that's a useful number, it just shouldn't be confused with the >90% vaccine efficacy number, which measures a different thing.

Now, I do also have some qualms with your calculation of the "hospitalisation prevention efficacy" rate.

Let me rewrite your calculation symbolically:

"Israelis >12 years are v/(100-v) vaccinated/not vaccinated. Among the hospitalised h/(100-h) are vaccinated/not vaccinated. So you have h/v = x and (100-h)/(100-v) = y Therefore the ratio of risks is x/y = z. Which gives you (1-z) as I mentioned."

Let's make a little thought experiment. Let's imagine that 98% of people were vaccinated with a vaccine with 90% efficacy. Since the efficacy is not 100%, some people will still get the disease and some will still get hospitalised. Since very few people in this scenario are unvaccinated, most of the people who end up in hospitals will be vaccinated. Let's imagine that 50% of those who get the disease get hospitalised. Since only 10% of those vaccinated that get infected contract the disease, only 5% of the vaccinated population will get hospitalized. OTOH (in this scenario) 50% of the infected unvaccinated people get hospitalized, but since only 2% of the people are unvaccinated, this means only 1% of the infected unvaccinated population get hospitalized; 99% of the hospitalized people are thus vaccinated.

v = 98
h = 99

"People from our scenario are 98/2 vaccinated/not vaccinated. Among the hospitalised 99/1 are vaccinated/not vaccinated. So you have 99/98 = 1.01 and 1/2 = 0.5 Therefore the ratio of risks is 1.01/0.5 = 2.02. Which gives you -1.02 as I mentioned."

That formula doesn't seem to make sense.

They wanted a roof over their heads - a fundamental human right (UDHR 25) - and you just wanted your grandfather's property so you could sell something you never worked for to support your "financial well-being," i.e., you were looking to profit from the death of your own family.

I think you're the scum of the earth, and you should be grateful that the squatters and their supporters don't have access to "hard men" to deal with people like you.

Hmm. I don't see any discussion here, but weren't BBS links typically blue? I think I remember that being a thing, and that was well before 1993...

Also, cyan is a much better color for text on a black background. Dark blue is almost invisible. This makes some of the early examples a little complicated since we moved to white backgrounds around the same time as the web came to fruition.
If your pursuit of "best covid results" (and all the goal post shifting justifications that come with it) requires that your ostensibly democratic, free country turns even more towards something resembling East Germany, i'd say you've failed in some more fundamental way. Many other countries also managed to decently deal with a highly difficult and fluid situation like this without imposing absurd Stasi-like equivalents of exit visas. What a shameful thing for a western democratic state to shift to and what a shame that so many idiots defend the normalization of these things in their terror of this relatively moderate virus.
Correct, in Stockholm for example, it is absolutely not as simple as “investors turn away”, far from it.

In fact, they did build housing. Luxury housing that doesn’t solve the problem at all. Student apartments that are so expensive to live in, you have to work a job while studying.
