>I mean, OP literally did that, erroneously implying that rent control increases supply

False. OP (me) was implying that it didnt meaningfully restrict supply.

I suspect a longitudnal study would find the two variables to be tenuously related at best.

>This is why people get so annoyed with many proponents of rent control

Because they make wrong inferences?
As someone who do operations, shitty software is increasingly pissing me off. We get software from customers and their suppliers with declining quality. The developers will try to “fix” or improve their work by bolting on things like ActiveMQ, Kafka, ElasticSearch, NoSQL and everything but the kitchen sink. They rarely give production deployment much though, and if they do it’s just a bunch of people yelling Kubernetes.

The sad part is that many of these problems aren’t THAT hard.

I’m really facinated by the lack of quality and that no one seems to care.
Yup! I'd set the quantity to 50 or 100 in their order form, and usually receive around 25 to 60. Never was a consistent amount, but it was always enough to hand out.
I don't think that's true. West Nile Virus wasn't caused by people West of the Nile, the Spanish Flu wasn't caused by Spain, MERS is called that because it was discovered in the Middle East, not because people in the Middle East caused it, etc. The form "X virus" does not at all imply that the virus was caused by X.

Then, of course, there is the very real possibility that China literally did cause the virus.

Yes. We've seen chipmaker MSRPs inflated, especially in the most recent releases like the 6600XT. Chipmakers are constrained by contractual obligations and PR though. AIBs have also inflated their MSRPs for cards. They seem to have contractual agreements with the chipmakers to sell some portion of their cards at Chipmaker MSRP, at least around the launch. However, to their best ability they are putting their die allocation into their highest end card variants that have the highest MSRPs. Then distributors, retailers, and PC builders mark up the cards over the AIB MSRP. Again, these are often limited to some extent by agreements with their suppliers. If all of these markups don't reach the market rate the cards are bought up by scalpers with bots and sold at the true market rate on eBay.

> Despite its complex challenges, Sweden is in a better position on housing than many other EU countries.

Would be interesting to compare it to the USA too.

The struggles people are having finding an affordable apartment in a desirable neighborhood in Sweden's biggest city's seems pretty familiar to struggles people go through in the USA. Which to the extent that's true means that Sweden's attempt to use very different political-economic mechanics to get out of that haven't worked as well as planned, but it doens't necessarily mean they are worse off. There might be different winners and losers and trade-offs between the different approaches, would be interesting to delve into it more than just "people still have a hard time finding affordable housing in Sweden's big cities", which at that general level seems a true statement almost everywhere.
Counterpoint: many of those features are unnecessary, especially on a smaller team and an intentionally simple tracking tool can force simple development processes. It’s neither good nor bad - it’s a question of whether or not the tool fits the environment.

Excel based bug tracking certainly has its place. So does Jira and similar.

Sure, but JavaScript was already there, so I don't look at it as a MSFT idea event though I agree it's technically a msft product.

In terms of London, there is also the problem of building restrictions. I don't think we're going to see tall residential towers popping up in say, Mayfair, anytime soon. I understand that this kind of change would completely transform the character of London. But the price of not wanting change is sky high rents.
I don't understand why the solution here isn't "ban subletting".

The problem (based in my massive experience of reading one article) seems to be that there are a lot of rent-controlled apartments, but they end users aren't getting the benefit of that low rent controlled price. Instead some private citizens are getting to collect free profit for subletting.

If you make subletting a rent-controlled property illegal, then the people who are living in them are unaffected, and the people who aren't living in them will have to give up their rent-control contract freeing up the property for others.
Why isn't there more building? In most places that "need" rent control, it's because there are heavy restrictions on building. And rent control, all by itself, serves as a disincentive to build. Why should I invest in a new building when I can invest in something else that's less hassle, more liquid, etc.?

Not to mention historical controls on building, rules about shading out other buildings, onerous permitting processes that take years, potential lawsuits, the annoyance of prostrating oneself before random bureaucrats begging for the ability to spend one's own money, etc. I think I'll just go YOLO into options futures instead, or throw my money in a global index fund.

Each of these rules is well intentioned, or at least has a well intentioned sounding justification. (Often, the main force behind them is a monopolist who specializes in navigating them, and doesn't want to have to compete on an even footing in an open market.) Altogether, however, the rules make a sticky web that causes entrepreneurs to throw up their hands and go elsewhere.

Rules about building is like dessert. A few desserts is a good idea. A meal constructed entirely of dessert is not so healthy, especially in the long run. Figure out how to make it easy to build, and people will build. And those folks need to be wooed, not with sweetheart deals out of the public purse, but with a clear, easy to navigate regulatory environment. If you make it easy to compete, there will be much competition.

Overwhelmingly, though, there's no competition in these kinds of jurisdictions because powerful interests LIKE it that way. Think of those folks who spent EUR 10K on a square meter of condo. Are they going to be happy at your proposed regulatory reform that promises to quadruple the rate of building? Of course not! You are directly attacking their asset, that they strived and scrimped and worked for for years! Are they going to come out and say that? Only rarely. They are going to talk about the character of the neighborhood, or the historical significance of whatever, or the environmental impact of a skyscraper in the downtown, or make overtly racist comments about who might move into these new buildings, or anything that will rally people to their cause to STOP THAT BUILDING!

How does it do that? Are the builders typically the same as the owners in Sweden? If so, I could see that being true. But if housing builders are different than the eventual owners, the have different economic interests, and rent control shouldn't limit housing production.

The citizens, it's always the citizens. If they bill the schools for this, the schools just raised tuitions. If they tell the banks to forgive the money the banks turn around and require a bailout from the government. It's just the same idea of saying we should raise taxes on Walmart or some other big corporation as if they do anything but pass the cost through to the consumer. If you pay taxes you're paying for this.
That’s a bad analogy. Use of Rails isn’t broken on a technical level; use of glibc on alpine is.

>> But behind the scenes some of us had this thought that our observations only amounted to short-term gains.

I'm convinced this must be the case at Facebook. I used to love the newsfeed but it has steadily declined so much for me that I stopped using it. It used to highlight a wide variety of friends updates. Then, only starred "close friends" and now mostly junk news items. Amazing things happen for friends (weddings, births) and I dont hear about it (no they aren't blocking me, i've confirmed).

I can to individually to each person's profile and see everything, but how realistic is that.

I'm sure there was a short boost as people checked more and more to news that didn't appear. Now, you check five times, you get the same 30 newsfeed items over and over and then "you're all caught up".

I can totally see the short term boost and long term decline with such a strategy.
It's of course expensive to live in the city center in most large European (or American) cities, this is not particular to Sweden.

> I'm willing (and honestly lucky enough to be able) to pay the premium for living downtown, if market rates were imposed.

I think this basically points out the trade-off. Right now, difficulty living in the city center of Stockholm or a large city is somewhat more evenly distributed compared to typical European countries, it unusually effects even the rich. Under a more strictly market approach the difficulty would be eliminated for the rich and increased for others.

Whether that's a net win depends who you are, of course.

> It's very unlikely that the housing stock in the central parts of town will ever increase substantially.

So one way or another there are more people who want to live there than there is housing. How is it allocated? It can be allocated by a waiting list, in which you might have to wait 9 years. It can be allocated based on the market, in which those with more ability to pay get to live there. It can be allocated based on some combination of "personal network/nepotism" and "graft", in which leaseholders of rent-controlled apartments rent them out at profit to them, or at no profit to their family and those they know.

Based on the article, the current system of course is a combination of all of those. Adjusting the portion of each of them would benefit some people and disadvantage others, depending on how adjusted.
IIRC, it was only even available through WebKit1 (i.e., the single-process WebKit API) and never through WebKit2, so it will have gone from Safari when Safari moved to WebKit2, even though the implementation lived on in WebKit for longer.

It was only 4+ years after it was dropped from Safari that anyone started to ask about Safari support for it again, so it had kinda fallen to the wayside due to lack of interest.
Figuring a truly global optimal strategy for each potential game state is a nice way to teach about MDS, but somehow less interesting to me than figuring out a strategy that's optimal within some constraint - like a small model size or being describable to humans.
The real question is what Western Digital says the speed for the drive is. I would guess that the changes don't touch the stated top speed, as the article seems to indicate that this only slows down write speeds after the cache is filled.

If Western Digital specified an average write speed, this might be affected. However, that average could technically not have changed depending on how they determined this average speed (for example, they could have determined this average by downloading and uploading smaller files).

I'd say that Western Digital isn't affecting the 0-60 time in ideal conditions, just decreasing the ability of the drive to attain that 0-60 time in less than ideal conditions.
ive come to the same conclusion lately; that i mostly listen to a handful of artists on repeat 80% of the time. i used to think that i couldnt afford to buy all the music i listen to, but looking at what i have paid spotify over the last 10 years i dont think that anymore. im slowly buying all my favourite stuff where i can and all probably cancel spotify soon and just put up with the annoying ads when i listen to discover weekly on a monday
I often go against the flow in thenetherlands and I haven't gotten banned. You get downvoted to oblivion if you dare go against the progressive, young, left-leaning narrative of the sub, but the same is true on any network. I don't think the "tiny things" will get you banned from the Dutch subreddits, though; it's mostly broad strokes (just post that you've considered voting on one of the "wrong" parties once and you'll get flack). It's a pretty bad situation, but it's the same situation you find on any platform.

HN has some very clear biases that you simply must subscribe to if you don't want your comment to be downvoted. It's clear that people here have certain stocks and don't like certain companies to be put in a negative light, for example. I don't think my account suffers the problems from this too often, but I've seen plenty of comments here at the bottom of the comment section simply because they disagreed with the status quo or because they asked an uncomfortable question.

Every now and then, I also see shadowbanned people here, who continue to make nearly invisible posts for a while and then just leave, seemingly caught by some kind of automatic filter or punished severely for a dumb comment weeks ago.
> A lot like London without rent control then, but if rent control were implemented it would be the primary culprit for what's happening anyway?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to suggest about hypothetical rent control in London, but it should be clear that London was geographically exhausted long ago and they’ve been debating architectural preservation and building height control ever since.

You can’t simply buy a property in London, knock it down, and build a 50-story skyscraper. Using it for your case study on rent control doesn’t make any sense.

> Seems to me it's the landlords that really "suffer".

This is the fantasy: Stick it to those evil developers and landlords, amirite?

The fallacy is assuming that you get the exact same apartment under rent control, but cheaper. You don’t.

The truth is that being a
rent-controlled landlord is easy mode. You have very little competition, by law, and the waiting list to get into your apartment can be years or decades long. As a result, you don’t have to compete on anything. Who’s going to turn your apartment down when it’s their only shot at housing and no one’s building new construction to compete at artificially depressed prices?

Now you don’t have to worry about installing good appliances or even nice carpet. The air condition doesn’t work well? Too bad, as long as it meets regulations (if any) then that’s good enough. Why would you if your tenants aren’t choosing based on competition? The tenants suffer, too.

And you’re still ignoring all of the people locked out of the system by the ensuing decade-long wait lines, as is the case in this article.

> but - it's fair to say 'he's just an podcaster with discussions of varying seriousness mostly for the purposes of entertainment'.

I think that would be fair, if he didn't constantly insert himself into these culture battles and debates we are having as a society. If he just hosted guests to get their perspective, that would be one thing. But he actively pushes his own ideas. He's established himself as not only a source of news, but also a "voice of reason" for many of his followers.

Saying that he gets a pass because he's just there for entertainment is a cop-out. That's the same excuse Fox News uses for their "opinion" segments (most of what they air).

I also think you might be underestimating how many people base their opinions off of Joe.

Just talk to anyone who works in an ER. Or read the first link returned by DDG: https://www.kff.org/uninsured/issue-brief/key-facts-about-th... which looks at the more general case. Key paragraphs to read (in this regard) are “ How does not having coverage affect health care access?” and the immediately following “ What are the financial implications of being uninsured?”

Worse is the hospital revenue people intervening in care decisions. There was an expose about this in the NYT a few years ago; as far as I can tell nothing has since changed.
The state/municipality/region should build more rental apartments. If we can vote for rental control then we can vote to build more apartments too.

How do you get an apartment in Stockholm as a young person? You ask your parents to take out a loan on their house to pay the downpayment, then you take a loan and buy an apartment. Luxurious and high standard apartments are built all the time in Stockholm! The new Barkarbystaden development in the northern municipality of Järfälla will have added 18000 apartments by 2030, the current population is 80000.

Sweden has no issue with building new places to live, as long as they're expensive and luxurious.
