There's been some mixed signals coming out of the research, but that's in part due to how immunity is being measured. There are definitely some studies showing that particular antibody levels for vaccines can be higher or longer lasting than natural infection, but recent research is showing that those with natural infection have had a far smaller risk of reinfection than those vaccinated, even when controlling for comorbidities. There are still confounding factors, such as behavioral differences between the groups, but its a pretty stark difference. It also makes sense from a theoretical standpoint, as acquired immunity is based on more than the just spike protein, unlike the vaccines, which is a big part of the differences between variants like Delta. The thought is that natural immunity is therefore more resilient to changes between variants.

Its all early enough that its still an open question, but there's definitely early evidence that natural immunity is more resilient than vaccination only.
The "private market" does work, but regulations mean you typically can't renn a place you own out for more than a year. So you can easily get a contract tomorrow at market rate, and that's what a bartender or software developer will have to do if they move in. If you are a professional, rent should be fairly affordable. If you are a student, it's not affordable. The downside though is the uncertainty. You'll expect to have to move to a new place around every 12 months or so which is a chore, and obviously is out of the question if you have a family.

It may also be interesting to note that rent control is supported by 75 to 80% of the population. For a policy that "isn't working" it is strangely popular.

How much of that is down to them missing the familiar look of the Google results page?

I wish we could do a blind study where users were asked to use a white-labeled search page where the results are served by Google or Bing (or others), but not disclosed. They would be asked to use that engine exclusively for 3 months, and rank their satisfaction with it.

I imagine the results would be similar, but people would still feel a pull towards Google because it's been around for 20 years.

This is like comparing my house to the Willis Tower and saying, "they're literally changing nothing except the blueprints."

mRNA codes for proteins. Coding for a different protein will produce different effects in the body. Most will probably be harmless. If a vaccine codes for a protein too similar to proteins that already exist, that vaccine will produce autoimmune disease.

There are some dynamic effects that might be dangerous to ignore. Like lobbying efforts for new construction might increase if there's money to made in construction of rental apartments, or more efficient use of square meters (smaller apartments/more used apartments).

But overall, yes, I totally agree. It's an allocation problem of a finite resource, with different tradeoffs.

My favourite idea, if we are going to keep the rent-controls, is to use a lottery.

Until recently, there hasn’t been enough data to apply statistical process control in a lot of fields. Chemical process companies (like Kodak used to be) have used SPC. “Web scale” companies commonly talk about running experiments now. Lots of people talk about A/B testing, which is an extremely simplistic example of SPC. I’ve been anticipating more advanced SPC tools to replace A/B testing for years, but am not aware of any. Maybe I should have created one.

Now I wonder if Machine Learning might pass up SPC as the primary method by which people identify and control key process variables.
Not exactly, but there's a validation page which can trigger a re-fetch.
I’m not sure why it’s obvious to you that Tim Cook must personally whisper into my ears otherwise. The FBI and every other intelligence agency is probably pressuring Apple all the time. Elsewhere in the thread, I even say that I think law enforcement pressure is one reason Messenger has not turned on E2E by default. I understand how this works.

What you haven’t convinced me of is whether Apple’s priorities are being driven by the pressure. Apple can believe keeping known CSAM off their services is important, and just because someone else agrees doesn’t mean the outside party was critical or the cause of the decision. We live in a society where there are lots of non-government reasons to not be the world’s #1 CSAM host, especially as the famously anti-porn company.

To what extent Apple’s intentions are sincere or coerced is important to suss out because it changes the likelihood that Apple, in the long term, will build different features that endanger its users. I agree that the platform vendor is “intuitively” a source of risk, but I don’t think what they’ve announced is any more (technically) dangerous than anything else my device already did. Even if Apple is outright lying about the contents of the hash database and what their human reviewers will flag, they could’ve been outright lying about whether they slurp my iCloud Photo Library straight out off iCloud with the keys they escrow. Besides that, there is no other possibly untoward behavior that I can’t verify locally. In fact, if Apple built iCloud scanning, I’d be at least as concerned about future features, because there I have no audit rights.

I don’t “want to believe” the system is secure - I have the tools to confirm that the system exposes me to no risk that I’m not already comfortable with as an (for sake of argument) iCloud Photo Library user, and almost all of the other risks are hypothetical. I’m even open to believing that the other risks are more probable today than a month ago, but the evidence isn’t very strong. Some evidence that would change my mind: any information about NCMEC being compromised by nation states and Apple ignoring that evidence, any evidence from Apple sources stating that they worked with the FBI on this system design, any evidence that Apple is expanding the system beyond CSAM.

Which brings me back to a question you never answered: how confident are you that the system presages generalized full device content scanning, and what evidence would change your mind?
>Rent control discourages building more units.

Yet the strictest rent controls went hand in hand with the fastest homebuilding spree in 1950s NYC.

It clearly didnt discourage that much. Maybe it didnt discourage it at all?

Or maybe it does a bit but is eclipsed by the effect of, say, NIMBY landlords inhibiting development, hellbent on staying above water on their eyewatering SF mortgage.

>Rent control can decrease efficiency of living situations. You can imagine an old woman living alone in a 3 bedroom unit with rent control because it would be more expensive for her to move to a smaller unit.

I can imagine. She could get priced out of the city entirely I suppose.

It seems to me that if the market rate is intent on 10x'ing her rent maybe it's the market that should be forced to adjust first, not her.

More home building. Higher property taxes. Rent control while the effects kick in.

I was wary of trying to go down the rabbit hole of explaining more of the situation, as I don't feel that I'm enough of an expert in the subject. I was merely critical of the lack of nuance in the analysis ("it's just supply and demand").

But let's give it a shot!

There's no denying that there is a lack of supply in housing in some parts of Sweden, particularly in Stockholm, where there are very long queues to get a reasonably priced apartment to rent. There's no denying that rent controls are probably one contributing factor to why the supply is too low. But it's important to note that it's just one of many variables in this equation. So what other contributing factors are there?

Well, for one, acquiring permits is pretty damn hard in Sweden. It's a long process with a lot of NIMBYism, not entirely unlike what I've understood is the case in San Francisco.

There's also the issue of rental units being profitable on a far longer horizon, leading investors looking to make their money back quickly to look at the buyers market instead. Which leads us down the path of the very high prices in the buyers market. What's causing that? For one, very low interest rates in the housing loan market (about 1-2%), but also tax policy, giving lenders a tax deduction relative to their interests payments. Yes, you read that correctly - buying a home, ie being richer than average, comes with tax deductions.

In Sweden, paying off your home loan for a long time wasn't even required - you just continually paid the interest, and perhaps lent even more money against your home when the value increased.

There's also the fact that the public housing providers have more or less been dismantled in many cases, and sold off to what essentially amounts to slumlords, attempting to game the ever-living hell out of the rent control rules. The playbook is more or less:

- Buy old public housing

Then
- Spend as little as possible on upkeep, be actively hostile to current tenants
- When anything goes wrong inside the rental unit, refuse to do anything but a full-scale renovation

And

- When any tenant moves out, perform a full-scale renovation

And finally

- Legally raise the price, as the standard of the rental unit has increased, often increasing the price as much as 50%

I don't pretend to know the answer to this complex issue, nor do I pretend to entirely understanf every part of it. Nor do I claim that rent control is the right answer or the wrong. But one thing is for sure - reductive arguments claiming that rent control is the root cause is wrong on the basis that it does not begin to understand the issue even slightly.

Hopefully this begins to cover some of the nuance of the issue.
The legal system is largely to protect criminals from "extra-legal" law enforcement by wronged parties. When the legal system can't function properly, for whatever reason, it is criminals who are ultimately in the most danger.

In the US, if police are given stand-down orders during mostly peaceful lootings and riots then a lot of looters are going to get shot.
Definitely. This to be especially terrible with some libraries (example: sqlalchemy) which have a crap load of types. You're not really sure what's being returned, etc.
The problem crypto solves is you can memorize a seed phrase and the government has nothing to seize, no bank account to freeze, no physical object to take. It's value that resides completely in your mind, but is recognized by others willing to pay a market rate for it.

You're joking yourself if you think government seizures are just; in the US asset forfeiture does not require even a criminal conviction. This is a problem for all people. Crypto solves a problem for all people.

Not upvoting or downvoting, but Matrix is an experimental choice at this point. I have some hope for the near future, but so far Matrix protocol is far from an established standard.

> supports federation and encourages alternative clients

Currently, the only featureful matrix server (synapse) uses gigabytes of RAM just for a handful of users (see also progress on dendrite and conduit). As for supporting alternative clients, Matrix ecosystem has an overdependence on 3rd party web widgets (eg. Jitsi) for client features because they are not supported by the protocol itself yet, making it harder to implement a native client with good performance and all Element features.

As i'm writing this, i realize nheko client now supports WebRTC audio-video calls when a recent GStreamer is available, congratulations on that, and good luck for the multi-platform implementation!

> So maybe rent control's effect on supply is vastly overblown.

Just because rent control negatively affects supply doesn't mean bad supply is only caused by rent control.

I live in London too and I'm baffled by the lack of tall buildings in pretty central parts of the city. The real solution is more supply.

At the expense of people who don't currently live in London but could, such as immigrants or people from poorer parts of the country finding a good paying job here.

Not just you. Developer tools are slowly decaying into disasters also. Pretty much every enterprise development tool I've used is just... lacking basic QOL features. Or the workflows are strange to the point of being counter-productive. Atlassian and Microsoft are the biggest offenders.

I actually spend more time fixing things that Visual Studio messed up (ie: removing dependencies but destroying a config file in the process, deletions creating phantom files, ect) than I do actually resolving bugs I created by being asleep at the keyboard.

I'm expected to see this roundly rejected by the commentariat here, but I believe a serious conversation about the levels of inequality that allow wealthy foreigners to own desired property in countries where people are going homeless is perfectly reasonable and even necessary, as is taking the side that says, "This is egregious."

My first guess is period of time in the early 70's known as The Great Inflation. Primarily driven by the abolishing of the gold standard. Not sure what the gold mining to construction rate was prior to this point but thereafter they could print it faster than they could build and this type of inflation where there is little growth in actual output creates asset bubbles. Just like this latest episode of quantitative easing has led to housing price inflation around the world right now.
> There are other subs that promote hate and ban everyone not agreeing with their narrative. What do you feel about them?

It is your opinion that they promote hate, and you also assume that it being hateful is wrong. Mixing up opinion with fact and not checking your assumptions is a sure route to a belief in infallability, which Mill also warns against.

I am against (in general) bans for simple disagreement, but there is more than one way to silence those you disagree with, especially if you have power over media of communication as these mods and admins do.

That may be so but you are working hard to give me the impression that you have a tendency to mix up your opinions with facts. If not for the need to avoid irony, at least avoid this so you don't appear so rude.
