Bitcoin is most popular in countries with high inflation and countries with capital controls. That coincides with bad policies, mismanagement or even oppression.

As a citizen of such a country, I can see the attraction of Bitcoin. Bitcoin offers hard-working people a way out. (South Africa has relaxed it's capital controls to the point where I never considered buying Bitcoin. But there are some millionaires here who are not allowed to take all their money out)
You made negative gearing sound so bizarre, but it's really just business investment deductions, which applies to every type of investment, not just real estate.

If your business made a loss, you get to deduct that loss from your revenue, before getting taxed.

This is the exact same concept, but applied to investment properties. As for the "dodgy" accounting methods - it's not really dodgy, but merely depreciation of the property at play. Depreciation is real. After all, a house doesn't last forever, so why shouldn't depreciation be allowed for investment properties when it is allowed for all other business capital expenditure?

People like to argue that by taking away negative gearing for property (i.e., treat it differently), that it would increase affordability. It won't make a big difference.
That is a complex problem, though. The main issue is land investment that effectively prevents or greatly limits potential new construction. With new construction thwarted even modest growth over time causes extreme prices per unit.

Preventing properties from being treated as bidding chips or bonds issued this could greatly improve the situation, but without addressing land use and land banking then the lack of new construction will continue to unbalance property markets.

It doesn't work like that. The people in power find people with an agenda that suits their agenda (woke identity politics that divide any populist movement). Then they elevate those people to places of more power or reach or status. This comes in the forms of grants, promotions, publications, and opening doors (making connections).

You don't need to convince or coerce people to fit your agenda. You simply find them and elevate them.

Well not at the moment to start with:

"Government rules that tenants cannot be evicted during corona crisis"

https://www.iamexpat.nl/housing/real-estate-news/government-...

Also tenants can sign contract with you ( as landlord) and immediately go to the Huur Commissie and argue their rent is too high. So it will be lowered if they first signed a different contract with the landlord.

https://www.huurcommissie.nl/

Concerning what you seem to describe as a very smooth process I have strong doubts. If a tenant lawyer argues there is a temporary situation with the family, children take priority etc...A Dutch judge will not ignore all that, and simply take the major step of putting children under foster care, if the landlord does not need the house to live there himself. Specially taking into account the dire situation of foster care in the Netherlands:

"The decline in foster parents means that the Netherlands is facing a shortage. According to Foster Care Netherlands, 3,500 foster families are needed each year. Last year there were only 2,566. Currently over 700 children are waiting for a place in a family..."

https://nltimes.nl/2020/01/09/many-foster-parents-quit-lack-...

I know a landlord who waited 2 years. Just a data point I would agree, but I strongly doubt its the smooth process you describe.
This reminded me of a particularly grisly character introduction in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. It's played to the opposite effect where it's not going to be a surprise at all. It's hardly even suspenseful, but hangs another helping of dread over the story.

> Toadvine glanced at the man's forehead but the man's hat was pushed down almost to his eyes. The man smiled and forked the hat back slightly with his thumb. The print of the hatband lay on his forehead like a scar but there was no mark other. Only on the inside of his lower arm was there tattooed a number which Toadvine would see in a Chihuahua bathhouse and again when he would cut down the man's torso where it hung skewered by its heels from a treelimb in the wastes of Pimeria Alta in the fall of that year.

It's not really the gun on the wall, the bread knife, or the tattoo. It's the narrator revealing a kind of untrustworthy omniscience by spoiling future details of the story.
We’ve been using charmixer/auto-changelog-action to generate release notes. This action makes nice references to GitHub pull requests. The release notes are attached to a GitHub release by an action. This turns out to be an invaluable reference for SQA and Product Manager for testing and creating customer-facing release notes.

One downside is that we run into trouble with GitHub API rate-limiting.

Forgive me, but the blog is titled "what I learned from my first two years as a data scientist", and I'd rather trust the author on their word and not speculate.

(And the experience of me working with dozens of data scientists corroborates - "data science" means basic Python programming and the kind of boring trial-and-error feature engineering tasks you'd typically assign to a junior software developer.)

I want a person who actually uses statistics and math to drive business decisions, not just someone who took some statistics courses in university before becoming a software developer.

P.S. Honest question, really. I don't want to sift through 500 resumes before finding the person I want.
> This doesn't allow any change in behavior when subclassing.

Generally correct, but that's why you should only be "subclassing" abstract interfaces in the first place. Subclassing concrete object methods is a footgun, precisely because you have no way of enforcing which of these "properties" any code will actually be relying on, either at any given point in time or in the future. (Including code that's itself part of the base objects hierarchy and calling possibly-overridden methods, which means subclassing also breaks encapsulation!)

Concrete inheritance is very hard to make sense of semantically in the fully general case; if it's viable at all it is as a kind of mere specialization, and that's what the LSP is trying to get at.
As others have said, a large part of it is probably due to 'belief systems' we develop and don't question, so reduced creativity.

I think another reason that is often overlooked in this kind of discussion, is that our society offers much greater incentives for young people to discover something new. If you're at an advanced age, there are way less opportunities to still have the 'leisure' to work on something fundamental, because our expectations are that ppl generally come up with their big idea before the age of about 30.

So perhaps it is a self-reinforcing mechanism.

As with every frontend nuisance, such as blocking the right click, showing alerts etc, this can be sidestepped easily [0]. While this technique may deter some people, just like the above annoyances, at the end of the day the old adage still holds — if it's in the frontend, the end user can do anything and everything they want. That said, this is still cool in the technically interesting sense, haven't seen someone do this before.

The point is that artificially keeping prices low does not improve the supply. If anything, it has the opposite effect.

By raising prices on the high demand stuff, you send a signal to the people that can get by with alternative stuff that now is a good time to do so.

So, like, highly hypothetically, if I couldn't find a calculator for a good price, I'm in a good seat to whip out my slide rule. This gives me an edge over the people who have to pay high prices for calculators, and simultaneously smooths out demand. What's good for me is also good for the people who really need calculators.

> Transaction cost and/or speed - Security
These two, in the context of crypto are incompatible. If you have high security, it means lower speed, higher cost. If you want high speed, low cost, it means lower security.

> Anonymous/private payments - Avoiding censorship
Yes of course there is a single crypto that has these features, the other 99.99% do not, and by the very design, can not.

If these were the features being designed for, crypto would have taken an entirely differnt design path. If these were the problems trying to be solved, they sure went about doing it the hard way.

Rather than assuming the motivations, I prefer just to take the motivations that were stated at the time; "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online

I've been on a 3 year fixed rate mortgage here in the UK. The first 3 years are something like 1.8%, after that it goes up to something like 3.6%.
The idea is that you remortgage every three years at no extra cost, so you should be effectively paying that lower rate for the full term of your mortgage, that is unless the economy tanks and interest rates go through the roof...

People with a disease and searching for informations about it. You can't imagine how many patients I've heard payed for those articles. And $30-$60 is a lot for just ten pages...
Dude I’m typing on my phone and autocorrect doesn’t know “cosmological”. There, I spelled it out.
To be fair, in this case and I suspect in many others, the popular article has greatly oversold the importance of the problem. When you are considering a problem that only a handful of others have ever looked at, there's no reason why a new person shouldn't find a new approach. of course, it helps when she's a genius.
I would add that even within physics there are massive differences, which also shows up in how grants are written. While the fundamental physics areas (like particle and astronomy) do publish a lot on arxiv etc. In the more applied areas it can often be quite different (which also applies to the use of word unfortunately). The metrics you use for your grant applications are also very different, the more applied areas often have to show impact through patents, spin offs etc., while this is less so in the fundamental sciences.

The use of arxiv etc is slowly making its way into the more applied areas, so things are moving to become more open. On the other hand in quantum we are currently seeing the opposite trend, so much research is now within startups who are absolute flush with money, but typically don't have a path to commercialisation. So they do research, but only very little of that research gets published anywhere, so the scientific process is becoming much less open.

Croatia has lost almost a quarter of its people (an existential meltdown, one premier dared to moan). Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltic three of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia have seen a fifth of workers go. Poland has lost over a tenth.

Are we saying that, say, the Polish state owns the Poles and if the latter go abroad they are stolen goods?

The rest of the article seems to assume that Poland would be better off outside of the German value chain, which borders insanity.

My experience is admittedly entirely from the IC side before I came to Platform One last year. And yes, when it came to ground processing and dissemination of geointelligence products, we absolutely did prove we were doing what we were supposed to be doing, to an extremely exacting standard. I'm talking exact specs on false positive rates of cloud detections. Written explanations of pixel by pixel differences from the last release's test keys traced to an RFC. Verification that something worked equally well over cities, jungles, deserts, ocean, mountains. Sometimes getting dinged for ridiculous attention to detail stuff like accurate multi-tile pixel registration of a mosaic collection over Mount Everest, just to prove it still worked in the worst possible spot on the planet for our topographic earth models.

When you see people above asking "what are the examples where we're a decade or more ahead of the commercial world," satellite imagery is one of the places where we're a decade or more ahead of the commercial world. I don't know if you recall Trump accidentally declassifying a collection on Twitter a few years back and imagery experts skeptical that it actually could have been taken from space given the resolution. That is not even remotely the tip of the iceberg of what we can do. I would not have even believed what we can do until I saw it.

So I actually am used to being in an environment run by technical experts in physics and image science who know exactly what they want, write down clear, specific, and exacting requirements, and actually meeting those requirements.

But you know what? We had the infrastructure to do it. A complete clone of the operational system with a cloned production data flow, putting the next release through exactly the same load, so we could detect the differences and any bugs immediately. Actual continuous integration because there was somewhere we could integrate to. Then I come to Platform One and it's here's an AWS account and some buzzword tech products that say they enable GitOps and CI. Figure out how to use them and stand up your own servers from scratch.

And you know what? I'm a confident person. I perfectly believe I can do that. But not very quickly. And if my five person team is supposed to do design, development, test, operations, and maintenance all by ourselves, it is never going to happen quickly. Process can't save you from underprovisioning of resources. But apparently the government is just not willing to spend money any more. It's hard to see how. It's not like the federal budget is getting any smaller. But I have no idea where that money is going. At least some of that used to be going toward extremely superior radical technology that the public is skeptical of because it's all classified and they don't hear about it, but trust me, it's there.

This technique is already being used in commercially available pop up scripts… everywhere.

It’s been done since at least 2 years ago, and probably longer.

Currently, if you ever pop up dev tools and see the console is constantly being cleared, the reason is to obscure that the anti debugging software is in effect.

Once the script detects dev tools is open, it will definitely not follow the normal path of pop up creation but instead default to a Rube Goldberg machine obfuscating the entire operations.
> or even unencrypted

Even unencrypted? I am biased here having run an open wifi since they were commercially avilable.

In the beginning, there was this huge concern that wifi would hurt the last mile ISP business. Many started outright forbidding guests using the connection in their terms of service. That didn't work out very well. Calling them insecure and having papers write about how to check that other people couldn't connect to work network worked much better.

My concern is that letting the commercial ISPs set the discourse around encryption, which is better suited for the endpoints than the transmission layer, set us back several years of deploying encryption everywhere. It also made for in my opinion unnecessary concerns around real world implementations of mesh networking.

Note that there are security concerns with running unencrypted wifi as compared to having a shared secret publicly available. An SSL-only world mostly mitigates this, and encrypted DNS is a piece to this story. End user systems could easily have had a no plain text-option among their firewall settings to help get this going. Language matters. Commercial interests are obvious here, the lay persons focus on transmission encryption made this transition harder, and every time someone speaks of insecure last mile transmission we are reminded of it.
This is one of those terribly myopic and symbolic policies that the Netherlands (despite generally one of the best governed countries in the world) keeps falling for.

Studies have shown over and over again that investors aren't causing the price increases in the Netherlands. Prices won't improve much.

Renting is going to take a beating, which is already an extremely small sector in the Netherlands, among the smallest in Europe. Remaining rental stock will be priced like crazy, pushing everyone desperately into a decision to buy. Due to systemic shortages that's not possible, exacerbating the gap between haves (who bought) and have-nots (who must keep renting).

Various studies have also shown a rental market is extremely important for labour mobility. Transient workers can't just move cities/regions in pursuit of jobs, when the rental market is completely destroyed and the only alternative is to buy a home and be stuck to that location for years (due to the friction and transaction costs of buying over renting).

> Would she not be able to own and rent these homes under this scheme?

She would, but she'd be unable to buy more off the market to rent out, unless they were already buy-to-let stock previously.

> I could never understand why this wasn't means tested continually.

Me neither. It seems like the least controversial thing that the left and the right should have agreement over: rich people not getting subsidised social housing. Things are getting better though, there's now means testing and accelerated rental price increases (up to a maximum) if your income is assessed as too high. But the new policy still way, way too generous to a class of rich people, while there's poor people waiting in line for 10 years in Amsterdam.
