> As an avid Goodreads user, Id say 80-90% of active GR users are female teenagers.

Lol, I would have said "50yo vanity-obsessed male geeks" instead, judging by the activity in my feed.

I recently made a bit of an effort to use GR a bit more, to go through some of the challenges and increase my reading rates. The anglocentrism is tiring, though - all the "best" lists are dominated by mediocre Anglo writers. If I remember correctly, when "social lit" sites first exploded, they had basically segmented by language - I know Italians used Anubii rather than GR, for example. I picked GR because I was still somewhat in love with the anglosphere, I think I'm ready to move to something a bit more "i18n", but it's not clear what that might be.
Do I understand correctly that they want to kick out all the students from the cities?

When I was studying in Groningen I had to look for places to rent out of the city.

Some students were camping in tents in front of the campus.

Here is a photo from another city, Tilburg:

https://www.dutchnews.nl/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/st...

Some academic staff were even taking them in due to shortage of places to rent.

I managed to rent a very nice place in Bedum, a village 13 km from the university campus, and I was commuting every day on bike.

We'd need to look at demand versus supply, including new builds before we can point the finger at "investors", which may be convenient but not necessarily useful.

Ultimately, market forces are what they are. If demand exceeds supply then some people will always miss out.

There is also the problem of the amount of liquidity available. Since 2008 and even more since Covid mountains of cash have been created at zero interest rate and that partly explains assets' price inflation.

Let's also not forget that many people cannot afford to buy, and don't want to for whatever reason, so decimating the private letting sector is not great, either, and will only cause rents to skyrocket.
Yes, they do. And editors -- academics, sometimes paid, usually not -- are the ones who do it. There's a lot of "old boy's network" involved there too, as although each author "suggests" a referee usually the editors submit it to someone not suggested by the authors as well. I didn't include that in the list because it's not really a skill done by the journal, more, as they would say, facilitated by it.

Frankly, they profit from: academics writing articles (funded by someone else); academics editing a journal deciding who should review articles (usually, but not always, for free); academics reviewing articles (always for free); and academics citing articles in subsequent ones.

The whole system is a house of cards, and a relatively immutable one.

Why are there symbols that are far bigger than what they represent? Why are there weird lines all over the hills? Why are there giant letters spelling out place names?

The goal of a map is to convey information, like writing. It's supposed to give you a realistic idea of what to expect but it is not a substitute for reality. I've never thought of the light on a shaded relief map being "the sun". Why would a map need to tell me which way the sun is shining? That's not its purpose.

Ask HN: How do you cope with pressure?
Dear HN,

I've been struggling with the same phenomenon in all my jobs. Currently I'm working on a "dream job" in well-know Open Source company, I should be happy, except that I'm not. I actually enjoy my work when I work on a problem during the weekends, outside working hours. Nobody is breathing down my neck, I feel free. As soon as the work week starts, the same task I enjoyed during the weekend suddenly doesn't feel enjoyable anymore and I kind off lock up and I'm not able to perform as well anymore.

Anyone else familiar with this feeling and what to do about it?
So long as homes are considered an asset class governments are compelled to protect their value and help increase that value.
This is a small step to decoupling property from investing but I think a great start.
This is a great comment: instead of making generic arguments, you actually tried to show how to do it better. Thank you.

I don't find the comments in the original code distracting, but I do like your version better.

> I'm also curious why burst is consumed, then budget. I would expect _budget_ to be consumed first (with refill) with overflow into burst? My expectation is for burst and budget to have different refill schedules in auto_replenish, so using burst first would result in more failures by missing refill opportunities.

This behavior is documented in the public API [0], so whatever is the reason why it was chosen, I don't think it can ever be changed.

> I don't understand why OverConsumption is different to Failure. Both will result in throttling by the caller. The reason for the difference should be documented.

My understanding is this. If the number of tokens requested is greater than the remaining budget but less than the size of the bucket, the call is rejected and the caller is blocked until it has enough tokens. But if the number of requested tokens is greater than the size of the bucket, the caller will never have enough tokens. Instead of blocking the caller forever, the rate limiter lets the call go through, but then blocks the caller for a while to compensate for the over-consumption. Here's the handling [1]. I wish it was documented better.

To me the most fascinating thing about Bitcoin is perfectly displayed in this comment thread. People act like simply because it’s computers and algorithms that it’s beyond the reach of law.

Imagine that mentality in other fields. Like “there’s no way we can make laws against murder, because people can just sail to international waters and kill their victim and then come back”

Bitcoin only has value due to people and those people are all subjects to some laws and regulations. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect over time that these laws will make bitcoin “just a boring currency” in which case it will go to zero, because it’s an absolutely horrible currency by all accounts. Anyone who has ever tried to buy a cup of coffee with Bitcoin will tell you. Bitcoins current valuation is a combination of speculation and illegal transfer of value. Both of which are extremely vulnerable to regulation, and “it’s algorithms running on computers” doesn’t protect against that, no matter how many cyberpunks have wet dreams that it does.
Congrats on the launch! There’s a strong shift of devtools from the backend to the frontend, and services are often jumping through hoops to 1) remain secure, and 2) allow client-only integration.

For example, Stripe offers a client-only integration with similar limitations - the product catalog must be defined within the stripe dashboard.
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/client

At https://clerk.dev (disc: founder), we do all of sign up, sign in, and user profile management from just the client. We’re able to keep it secure because we also do session/cookie management, so can tell who is signed in.

Emailjs has an interesting concept here. It’s definitely on-trend, though I personally wouldn’t like users being able to trigger emails to other users, which seems possible today (correct me if I’m wrong?)

Have you considered an option to require a signed JWT with requests, which could contain the user’s email address? That would make it so users can only trigger spam to themselves (except in cases of xss), but retain a mostly client-only experience. (Generating the jwt requires a backend, but developers may already have one available if they’re using another service like Hasura that follows a similar pattern.)
Those bombings didn’t result in votes for women at all.

> The campaign was halted at the outbreak of war in August 1914 without having brought about votes for women, as suffragettes pledged to pause their campaigning to aid the nation's war effort.

> The extent to which suffragette militancy contributed to the eventual enfranchisement of women in 1918 has been debated by historians, although the consensus of historical opinion is that the militant campaign was not effective.

What defines property investing?

Why not a land value tax instead?
Greed is innate to humans and you can't even take it away with communism, people will still find a way to collect and hoard.
The problem is the low interest rates from central banks flooding the economy with money.
So investors buy the homes then rent them out? What’s the problem?

In some asian markets investors buy homes then sit on them unused for years. That’s a problem.
There are more efficient ways to achieve the same and get a bunch of other positive side effects in one go: Land Value Taxation. Henry George proposed it already in 1879 in his book "Progress and Poverty".
Won't this result in higher rent prices for those that don't have the funds or interest in purchasing property?

I'm not sure about how fair the whole system is, but if we assume the papers should be free, then a service where the papers are available is still reasonable to have a small fee.

1. PTA in itself does not provide you all the tools to validate these, but it's low-level enough that you can implement any validation you want on top easily, if you're proficient with CLI tools. I don't think I would use it at the enterprise level simply because they're less commonly used, but for personal finances I find it sensible enough.

Which mistake do you think is more common with PTA than with other programs?

2. What exactly would not be sustainable with PTA which would be with other programs?
Unpopular? Antibiotic resistance is one of our more severe public health problems globally, and it's only getting worse.

It's not controversial that the two big drivers of this problem are the countries where antibiotics are available over-the-counter, and the widespread use of antibiotics in livestock.

These practices must end if we want to be able to keep using antibiotics to save lives in the future, and it is a question of policy alone.
> Do I understand correctly that they want to kick out all the students from the cities?

Presumably not, unless those students are property investors.
I'm very specifically referring in my post to the creation of Linux, the kernel. Sorry if it was ambiguous to you. I'm aware that GNU predates Linux but a GNU without Linux never would had the same popularity as it has. HURD never has been widely adopted.

> You could trigger Stallman! is a bad man!

I'm not worried by that possibility. Maybe Stallman should be worried by my answers. Dunno.

If is a problem to you, can I suggest to call it LiGNUx as a compromise solution and end this old war? Feel free to also use Stallmanix, or Stallpple if you use Hurd. As long as it works, I don't care about the name.
This pattern goes back to pre-Version-7 UNIX kernels, with only minor syntactic updates. That it long predates OO demonstrates it is not OO. That does not make it any less effective, or less useful.

Interested how this plays out in other countries in terms of both reception and actual effect. The current Korean gov set out to reduce house prices by various methods: e.g. high property taxes on houses that are not the owners primary residence, banning loans/mortage for flipping homes, etc. But prices have gone up more during this regulation. People suspect its actually driving buyers to buy before more regulations in the future.

I feel like the only way would be to restrict to one house per co-residence family unit in contested cities. But I have no knowledge of real estate/economics, and I'm sure it'll be called communism. So really feels like a near impossible problem to solve.
Better late than never. The housing market in the Netherlands is currently terrible. I’ve “fled” the country for the next few years. Hoping that would be enough time for the market to get healthy again. It’s just insane that we made it this easy for people who were well off to begin with to profit. Just sold a house, the profit I got from buying and selling that house alone makes me nauseous. Makes me wonder why I work at all. Can imagine corporate investors are milking it for all its worth.

I never said it was redundant. Perhaps you mixed me with someone else?

Regardless of how you call the fallacy, I think there still is one since the vagueness of the term "regular user" seems to implicitly define out the users that would need to access the cookie dialogue.

If the wording is switched to "non-developer", then I once again disagree with this conclusion. Non-developers should definitely retain the ability to view, edit and delete their cookies.

I view this mostly as a matter of power. Yes, non-developers won't be editing or deleting individual cookies most of the time. However, if a website starts misbehaving and attempts to seize control of some part of experience from the end user, the end user must have the ability to counter that.

Having the ability to delete and edit pieces of information stored by websites on the user agent is a crucial part of that. If you take this ability away, then you ever so slightly took control out of the hands of the end user. In the end, you are making the user powerless and submitting them under your control.
This is cart before horse stuff. As noticed by other commenters some people need to rent. I am blaming 'quantitative easing'. If the central bank buys a whole lot of assets where do other investors go?
> don't know how to relate to the slower, more artistic

Maybe it's just my taste (angry, fast, and chaotic), but this is why I love Rachmaninov's 3rd piano concerto (especially the 3rd movement) and don't like his second - it was way to slow and romantic for me.
The use of the word 'refuse' here confuses me. I don't think of programs having the ability to refuse. It either does or doesn't and in this case copilot doesn't suggest Israel based on some pressed conditions.
I'd like to see data on who can afford to sit on an empty property. I've heard of Chinese money trying to avoid Chinese government crackdowns or really rich families who refuse to sell empty houses, I don't see how the average investor could afford it.
You could losslessly translate PDFs with compression to PDFs with no compression (bitmap images excepted), tar them up and compress the lot. This would get you a fair bit of gain for little pain.

However, I guess they use .zip STORE because it's fairly robust against minor corruption.
It affects the housing market very negatively. These are houses that could've been bought by families and couples and so on. Instead of being available for purchase, the same people have now have to rent instead of buy.

House prices rise, rent increases, common folk are struggling, investors are getting rich without doing anything.

It's just meh all over.

How to Build Wealth in Your Teens and 20s(Updated)-Ajulu's Thoughts
Sometimes the logic in at least one of the arms of the if/else is sufficiently complicated to make it worthwhile (e.g. cases where you find yourself needing a 'do' block inside a ternary).

Also doing that with if/elsif/elsif/else is often far more readable than nested/chained ternaries.
Dutch cities are easily the best-planned cities in the world. The channel "Not Just Bikes" [1] goes fairly in-depth as to why. I think I'll trust that the Dutch city planners know what they're doing in this instance.

Some greed might be innate, but what we're seeing today with billionaires is not normal greed, it's extreme greed, something me (and many others) don't think is innate.

And where does "communism" come from? No one mentioned it here on HN nor in the article. People are so quick to label things, even if they are not even related.

In this case, Dutch people seems to had enough of expensive prices so now they are on the lookout for a solution. Just because this solution involves the government stepping in to adjust the market, doesn't mean that the Dutch government is suddenly "communist".

So, who will be renting cheap and medium-priced homes?

There are already extremely severe shortages as exemplified by students camping in tents.

Amen to this. Two case studies from the UK I've been thinking about recently:

1) Visiting London and spending time in South Kensington - walking back to hotel at night, only about 30% of houses had any lights on. Suggestion is the others are effectively uninhabited, and a search on RightMove shows properties sell for £20-£30m for a 4/5 bed. This isn't normal Londoners, it's outside investment.

2) Cornwall, where I live - an insane house price rise over lockdown as city dwellers aim for the beautiful bits of the country. Literally no way now you could afford your first home round here on minimum wage, and some towns have a high (>50) % holiday or second homes.

It's an untenable situation. I think my generation (I'm nearly 50) are probably the last to be able to afford their own home on anything other than a massive wage.

Round here in Cornwall the jobs are things like surf instructor, supermarket worker, barperson, etc. That's not gonna stretch to the local house prices.

Most people really don't get how much processing is happening and how much of it is a mechanical turk by the way of minimum wage contractors.

Absentee landlords were notorious for allowing their Irish tenant's properties and amenities decay, while continuing to extracting rent. Yet back at home they were known as philanthropists who gave generously to "their own" poor houses and churches. People tend to care whether or not they are judged poorly, but only by peers and neighbours.

It may not make any difference who the investor is, but then again it may. Also, if the investor is resident, could there be other ways to ensure that they are not simply wringing every cent out of their investment with no reinvestment?
I recently came across the API issue too; from their page on APIs [0]

> Goodreads no longer issues new developer keys for our public developer API and plans to retire the current version of these tools.

I generally find that I trust their book ratings more than any other sites, though, seeing as they are user-generated, and also given the amount of users being in the 10s of millions.

BookWyrm seems pretty fantastic and promising from what I see, but I don't know that it would attract the current Goodreads user. I'm really hoping it gets some traction.

How do you buy a house then? Does the government just own all housing?
The people making these decisions are used to being condemned by common folk, so we are not in any way better off by having more people condemning these actions.
You misunderstood. The only way to rent a place is to rent it from an investor. If investors are banned from the city, then students need to buy the house/room they live in. This is of course not feasible for the majority of students.

Science publishers are tone deaf beyond belief.
I suppose the implied question is: who's going to rent to students if the landlords' investments get penalized for them not living there themselves. There's presumably too many students in these cities for all of them to find some family who have a spare room to rent.
