Name calling is okay, if true.
If someone is an anti-vaxxer, not calling them such only supports that extremely harmful movement. Preventing calling them anti-vaxxes is literally censorship, and likely something that you are against.
Pretty cool stuff. Is there plans to make software/hardware libre? To unlock the bootloader so the hardware can be reused for another purpose?

I like the concept of subscribing to a small software vendor to receive new games regularly and support creation, but i also like hardware i can tinker with.
Building social housing is an obvious solution.

A media that is very "concerned" with housing shortages where rent control is concerned suddenly loses its concern and gets overly concerned with crime, delinquency, public debt, etc. when a solution that brings down property values is mooted.

Raising property taxes will also help as it will act as a disincentive to use land unproductively or as a store of value.
I really like Amazon Music. The interface is simple and not gimmicky. Just search for music and play it.
This applies with spherical cow-like assumptions for commodities.

Housing and land require further analysis due to inelastic supply of land, and huge restrictions on construction, both for political and safety reasons.

The biggest determinant of supply of housing is not the ability to charge more for it, but all the other challenges around building.
It still doesn't do much. Mobile version just changes the input controls to using geolocation and motion sensors.

Other than that the functionality is still the same; it doesn't do more on mobile.
I want to use alpine for my containers because it's a minimalist distro with a nice package manager with up-to-date packages. Reasons I don't like common alternatives:

* ubuntu - Increasingly hostile to container usage (I tried to install a package recently, the install "succeeded" but at runtime the installed binary simply printed 'oh actually this is a stub, use snap instead' and exited), along with all the other downsides of debian (see below)

* debian - Very old packages if you're running a supported version. There's a ton of boilerplate to make apt behave itself in a container environment, something like "apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=non-interactive apt-get install --assume-yes --no-install-recommends PACKAGE", compare to "apk --update add PACKAGE".

* distroless - More work to create and manage, can't install things ad-hoc in a running container for debugging purposes

As it is, I use debian and put up with the annoyances and need to occasionally install things from source to get a modern version. But there's really no good options. Alpine would be amazing, except I've hit too many problems with musl (though I'm sure it's not actually musl's fault). If someone was advertising "alpine but with glibc" and it actually WAS that (not "alpine with glibc tacked on top"), I'd use it in a heartbeat.
Given that bitcoin has been around for 2008, at what point will you personally concede that it's not likely to happen? Why would it happen now if it didn't in the first 13 years?
>Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

This quip implies two things.

1. Is that all publicity is equivalent. Rogan is no James Randi. He's much more likely to nod along with anything a guest says than debunk it. His podcast is entertainment, not a crucible for the truth.

2. Is that every time we broadcast nonsense that fewer people believe it and society as a whole becomes wiser. If this were true, then when the ex-President talked about drinking bleach you'd expect bleach ingestion calls to 911 to decrease. In reality they increased at least on a short timescale. On a long enough timescale, maybe the anti vaccination population will fall below the level it was when Dr. Wakefield published his infamous anti vaccination paper. Given the last few decades of suffering, I'd guess there are better ways to educate the public.

W. Edwards Deming is the source of one of my favorite quotes:
"In God we trust; all others must bring data."

One of the fascinating things about Deming's work is that Japan's automobiles went from being referred to pejoratively as "Jap Crap" to symbols of quality (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, etc.) within a short few decades--quite a feat for a nation struggling to regain its industrial footing after WWII.

But that is the problem: it makes housing so much more expensive. It definitely has a control over that.

> How is something as simple as basic supply and demand still a shocker to so many people? Rent control is just the government picking the winners and losers, with those who are corrupt, play dirty, and generally antisocial being the winners.

Because it's not just about supply and demand, and attempting to frame it as such is seriously reductionistic.

Nice response. Unfortunately, the original response is dismissive even though it’s about a technical topic, but it wouldn’t be if discussing just about any other content category and you’re right that those kinds of mechanisms are worthy of analysis.

I haven’t worked at FB but don’t metadata-adding contractors training ML models serve the function of invisible, more complete likes? My understanding is all these large social networks employ or employed human-created content analysis. And then the right amount of noise and divergent suggestions can be added to serve the goals of the network.

Btw: a great trick somebody published in HN some years ago still works well for many websites: just add a dot (".") at the end of the domain (not the end of the URL), and the website treats you like an anonymous (so it often lets you see content and bypass the pay wall): I do it with the Guardian, all the time, so

The use of rent control isn't the issue. If a policy is in place, actually using the options it affords isn't the issue. It's the policy itself that causes the cost to others.

I don't think it's crazy to say that rent control helps those in it and hurts those that aren't in it. That's not the tenant's fault, but we can't pretend that rent control doesn't have an effect on the supply of rentable apartments.
I enjoy reading Freud and he was "ahead of his time" in many levels but he got stuck at the "Oedipus complex" and never got a clear concept of "Narcissism" and pre-Oedipal phenomena that you might find talked about in:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Analysis_of_the_Self

(It's a mistake to think that "Narcissism" is a disease, rather "Narcissism" is self-love, a concept Freud articulated in at least two different confused ways. Everybody has a "Narcissism" just like everybody has a heart: pathological Narcissism is like having heart disease or heart failure, or a heart attack...)

Yes, that's a point of view. Considering the sarcasm; I assume that the author will actually be advocating for society wide, extra legal penalties for known speeders; perhaps insisting on a public registry of those known to have had traffic citations, so those people can be denied services at restaurants etc...

The same can be said for minimum hourly employment requirements, too. It is interpreted as a guarantee to make $X, but in reality, it is literally a prohibition to make <$X. Most people I talk to take employment (at the aggregate and individual level) as constants when discussing this, but that's not how this works.

For employment, for instance, much more useful analysis comes out of lifetime income analysis. We really ought not care how many people earn minimum wage... we ought to really care how their wage changes over time. Not even suggesting that there isn't merit to a minimum wage, but just that our discourse of it almost always omits the point you bring up about "everyone else who suffers." That's important to talk about.

People would be ticked off if the Corvette had an undersized radiator that caused it to go into limp-home mode any time you took it to the track, we're starting into slightly esoteric "car guy" details. But enough people know what a radiator is and care about cooling system performance that car manufacturers listen. Very few consumers understand the workings of an SSD; manufacturers are under a lot less pressure as a result.

I like to use the book 'economics in one lesson' by Henry Hazlitt to show why. The book has some flaws, and missing about 30 years of new ways to do it, but it shows the secondary effects many policies have. The basic premise of the book is 'broken window'. Which is 'take something from someone else and it will cause economic velocity'. But in the end effect is you are still overall worse off then you were when you started.

An easy example is take something simple like 'give food to the hungry who can not afford it'. Sounds nice. Easy to do. Does not really seem to hurt anything. But that can have a inflationary effect on food prices if done too much and too rapidly. Thus creating more 'hungry' people who can not buy food, as maybe their wages are not keeping up. Then causing more money to be injected in to 'fix the issue' again causing inflation. Creating a cycle that can only be broken by hurting a lot of people. That is just one side effect. There are several others. Rent control is similar.

The trick is how do you 'fix' things without creating bad cycles? It is not as easy or handwavy as many make it.
All half measures to «fix» the housing market are just variations around this theme. If there’s political consensus against the only solution that fixes the root cause — building much more — then any other measure to alleviate the problem will be varying degrees of dysfunctional and ineffective.

I’d be delighted to be proven wrong, but it seems unlikely.
A trend which surely had nothing to do with the tech/biotech boom in the area. When a region gains hundreds of thousands of new jobs and doesn't build housing to compensate, then rents are going to increase
The employer paid portion of the premium is reduced, which is what the non discrimination testing is looking at to make sure employer benefits are not disproportionately going to higher paid employees.
Rent control is a nuanced thing, it’s a great and valuable tool if it’s combined with housing growth.

As people in general are becoming poorer, we’re shifting towards either more rentals or less safe/sound construction practices. Tenants need rights beyond market forces to avoid a revolving door of 1 year leases, etc. Stability in communities is important for both families and the community at large.

That said, the unchecked development model where construction of actual homes is impossible, or where exclusionary construction is allowed (entire buildings of studio apartments, no family apartments, etc), you are correct, rent control just benefits incumbents.

One nice thing about making this decision is that the decision rubric for choosing between dataclasses and attrs is really straightforward. In addition to all the reasons the article lists for why you might need to use dataclasses, I'd personally also default to them unless I know I need one of the things that attrs does better: robust validation, or performance.

The nice thing here is that, since dataclasses are more-or-less just slimmed-down attrs, it's relatively easy to migrate from dataclasses to attrs at a later date.

It's not the same as NYC though. Most renters in Stockholm are renting second-hand or commercial and are not covered by rent control at all.

This is an understudied area, for me. Yes we can come up with mathematically optimal ways of solving a problem, but it's much harder to come up with the mathematically optimal way of teaching a _human_ to solve that problem. Obviously there's a lot of work in 'explainability' in machine learning models but that doesn't really get there.

I often find myself going back to Eurisko as a fascinating example of the road not taken (or perhaps, the road taken to its logical end and abandoned) in machine learning. You had this system that instead of learning opaque weights in a network, learned heuristics that were fairly explainable. In some ways that's a much more useful companion than a model that's strictly superior in its decisions. I find this regularly in chess - you can prep with Stockfish and you know you're probably memorising the best line, and you can follow the sidelines to find very concretely _why_ that's the case, but it still feels like an inefficient way of learning. It always feels like a machine that yielded up fewer, more abstract principles would be helping me more. I recently thought about this for solving Rubik's cubes. I don't really want the fastest way to solve it, ideally I'd have a way that simultaneously optimises the number of heuristics (if you have such and such a colour here and here, do this, if this face is all white, do that etc) and the number of total actions. That seems like a tractable problem for a computer to brute force for you even without smarts.

I face this in my work constantly: you can come up with the most amazing model based on the most cutting edge architecture, and you can trust its predictions above any others. But then you've got to explain to a football coach why _they_ should trust it, and once that trust is built, distil it into few enough rules that they can train a team to reflect its expertise.

Sorry for the ramble!

The problem is that is HAS control over making more housing. And, indirectly, it HAS control over making housing cheaper. Because what it does it suppresses the supply of housing, it makes it more expensive for anyone not living in a rent-controlled apartment.
Also, sooner or later, the quality of the apartment will match the rent.

As a career front-end developer, I take affront at this. I have never argued in favour of any of the shit people face on the web on a daily basis. I’m close to wanting to get out of the industry because the product is so toxic these days. The people are largely great, I love my current team.. but every month we’re told to add more tracking, or advertising (from Google of all people). I could leave out of political differences but where am I gonna go that’s different (in London)?

Biz: we need to track our users, stick GA on it
Me: we could do a privacy-friendly alternative which brings the data in-house. It would lower our lower our GDPR burden so our cookie notices would be simpler, and at the same time make it easier to link our user data with other metrics (I work in streaming video at the moment)
Biz: GA is free
Me: Longer term, out overall cost of development will be lower because the complexity will be lower, and you wont be leaking data about your customers
Biz: but GA is free and works out of the box with more analysis than we’d use
Me: Do you see how that actually makes it more complex, over-engineered and unfit for OUR purposes? It’s also a dog to use by the data people and they will ask for a different tool because they can’t change GA
Biz: it’s free. The deadline is three weeks.

BIZ: we want to make more money so we’ll sell advertising
Me: Ok, but content-based advertising would guve us more control over what we get linked with, doesn’t track users, lets us set our own pricing, lets us sync better with our own content (because presumably we’d be able to control the manifests better
Biz: but GA gives us an admin panel and we don’t have to think about it
Me: but the integration will take months and half of it’s out of our hands be ause Third Party
Biz: here’s the admin key they gave us…

(Ok, so I didn’t actually have these conversations and TBH I only learned the detail of sharing manifests with a third party after I joined the team.. but you get the idea).
Ask them why they like it, and really listen to their answers. Ask yourself why you hate it, and contrast it with the PMs needs. Then have a discussion together.

I tend to agree that Excel doesn't seem like the best tool, but at the same time, Jira is a mess of overkill for many projects, and some dev teams swear by that. I suspect there are simple tools out there that could make everyone happy, but you need to have discussions as a team of what all your needs are and agree on a solution together.
