The market is ill-equipped? Prior government interventions in housing are driving most of the price inflation and investment.

Every time they come up with a new way to help people buy houses they just further drive up the price.
You started by dismissing the proposed solution out of hand and then went on to attack a strawman.

You do end with a couple ideas of your own, but overall I find this comment more disingenuous than not.
Using a court of appeals assumes a shared widespread understanding of the topic of disagreement, often the only people with the expertise on the topic are going to be the parties involved and teaching a 3rd party can be impractical and prone to steering.

I can see smart contracts working with very low volume specialized scenarios for this reason.

Also traditional dispute resolution is expensive plenty of times where both parties would be willing to accept the risk of a bug over paying lawyer fees
The territorial status of Taiwan remains number one on my mental list of “shit that can start world war three” if it wasn’t already, it got knocked off top spot for a brief little while a few years ago during the very worst of North Korea’s Sabre rattling in the very early days of Trump’s presidency, when it was unclear who would blink, if the escalation of threats had continued and North Korea pushed their “our missiles can hit the USA our great enemy” harder, but other than that week or two period, Taiwanese territorial sovereignty has been my number one most likely cause of WW3 for at least the last decade.
Because people and organizations should be held accountable for their actions and weak security can directly impact people's lives
We're weary of useless and unnecessary wars -exhausted. I'm glad we got out of a place we should have never been in.

This is coming up and a wrong time for Taiwan. We are in no mood for wars, the president is neither, and may be exhausted himself. So, only if the military does it behind his back and essentially do a coup, would we go full on in there.

We're spent, China knows it. But then, Taiwan, like Japan are of strategic importance. AF was the opposite of that. We could be 3T ahead in infrastructure instead.

Probably the only thing that keeps China back is international trade. It would plummet and their economy would sour quick and the rest of the world would suffer "supply chain" pain.

If anything happens this is mostly all GW's fault.
and if the institutions are "criminally" negligent in their actions? yea, it's fine to tell joe shmoe down the street that it's their fault they trusted an institution, but we have laws about this regarding large companies falsely or not "read, it may be in 35000 pages of text agreed to with a button click" claiming to be secure while not, taking advantage of peoples ignorance or more rightly, being busy, that those who claim anything implicit, whether legal or not, should be the ones to shoulder the burden.

There has been a science developed around "how much can we get away with" and that's the problem. Do you expect joe shmoe to have that kind of budget?
I’m assuming transportation either refers to ocean liners (doubtful since they’re slow), but most likely air travel. Airlines sell unused cargo space. With decreased international travel I assume airlines have less unused cargo space to sell.

I'm not saying EVs are useless, or vaporware. Maintaining the comparison here, you look back and can see that the internet was clearly incredibly valuable and impactful in essentially every describable way, but there was still a dotcom bubble full of egregious excess.
Thank zoning regulations and the entirety of the green crowd from the clinate activists to the animal rights groups. Nothing that hasn't been replaced is more expensive to produce now than in the past. Regulations motivated by classist priorities are the reason costs aren't able to be pushed back down.
In 2020, newspaper, radio, and magazine ad spending was $85 billion compared to all online ad spending (which is far more targeted and thus more valuable) at around $500 billion. Television advertising was around $193 billion. Unless we're in a generalized advertising bubble, I'd say online advertising is still in healthy territory

TY. Incrementality is king. Measuring that as a marketer and advertiser is getting more challenging for a variety of reasons. The future, primarily for large brands, but increasingly accessible for smaller and smaller companies is in statistical analysis with properly controlled experiments.

It is the only path I've seen that can account for all the noise in the measurement ecosystem. And even then it is far from easy to do "right."
The Bourgeois use the Proletariat as a tool to overtake power from the owners and royal blood.

Labor unrest works the other way: the owners, comfortably tucked away in their mansions in places that are guarded and far away from prying eyes (think Zuckerberg, but multiplied further), are egging the proles on to riot and therefore to keep the opposition in check, while they, as always, are out of sight and out of mind. You would be laughed out of any discussion suggesting that this was all orchestrated by a group of people who own the world. Such a thing, as we all know, is unheard of.

The rioters are unaware of the owners, but they think that whoever they are aware of are the people to protest against, and that these people (the PMC+ class) are guilty for arranging the circumstances that has befallen the proles. As always, it’s a clever play of misdirection and it works wonders.

It’s a dark twisted game, but that’s how it works and that’s how it’s played.
It's due to DeJoy's ratfucking. Let's not obfuscate this.

> if were really as bad as it seems, why don’t we do something about it?

This sounds like a person in a burning building saying “if it was that bad, wouldn’t I have left the building already? Maybe there’s a reason I’m in here?”

Like, yeah, our politics are tribal. But one side is debating back and forth about how to fix this situation (with some good points on both sides, I’d be cool with an NHS, a Canadian single payer system, or even a German public/private combo system honestly), while the other side seems dead set on acting like the burning building just needs more gasoline and it’ll turn out alright.

Too bad they mixed political ideology in what would have been otherwise a unifying populist movement. Remember, most socialists are upper middle class and above.

> Our Goals:

25% corporate tax rate (No loopholes)

Free Healthcare for all

12 weeks paid paternity and maternity leave

$20 minimum wage

4 day work week

Stricter Environmental Regulations on Corporations (Bans on single use and micro plastics, and limited emissions)

For some reasons every socialist I talk to actually think a 15-25 hours week of work is sufficient for society to function, I never really got a good explanation how productivity will increase to accommodate such a drastic drop in labor outside of theoretical predictions.

Also:

Corporations can move, and re-invest their profits. Such high profit taxes are usually counter-productive. Loopholes will always exist. You can't stop them from leaving. There is a reason that most western countries US barely produces anything outside of IP and petrodollar.

Free Healthcare for all is a lie. Nothing is free. Positive rights lead to slavery or worker revolts and shortage. We are living this right now in Canada, nurses are tired of doing obligatory overtime. They're just quitting. Hospitals are closing, literally. The US health care system is inefficient due to litigation and regulations pushed by lobbying to maintain private monopolies.

High minimum wage will just accelerate automation and the disappearance of low-skills jobs.
Lot of issues. Different countries , airports and ports have different vacination/quarantine requirements. That keep changing from day to day. Imagine most of your ships, planes, pilots or seafarers getting sick or stuck in quarantine somewhere or the other for almost a year now.

Things get better as govts wake up to such non uniform policies. In the mean time expect all kinds random break downs.

"The American Nurses Association called for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to declare the nurse staffing shortage a national crisis on September 1."[1]

Good thing they're firing boatloads of nurses that don't agree with a forced injection where they're actively covering up side-effect stats (by considering any side-effects happening within 14 days of 2nd shot as an "un-vaccinated covid-related issue"), where big-pharma has zero accountability to long-term issues while making hundreds of millions in profit, where the people pushing this the hardest will likely make millions or have careers advanced....all for a vaccine that DOESNT STOP THE SPREAD of a "pandemic" that kills essentially zero healthy people...all while shitting on the freedoms that our ancestors fought and died for. Blows my fucking mind.

At least personally I’m worried about being held on totally fictitious charges of espionage or sedition. I worked for a national security agency that they particularly despise. So yeah, I won’t be going there to find if they want to harass me or not.

(I also don’t trust my own government to not make up fictitious petty crime charges against me, so maybe I’m paranoid.)

There's some trainability.

If you're close enough to a fireball that you're instantly incinerated, you might as well just enjoy the show. There's nothing you can do.

If you're within the zone of survivability, then there's cause to take action, and responses over seconds, minutes, and hours can make a difference. A 20--30 mile airburst gives 2--3 minutes before he

The prompt heat flash lasts several seconds. Ducking and sheltering quickly behind any shading barrier will provide protection. Infrared is no penatrating radiation. And bollides as blackbody emitters release mostly IR and visible light. Short-term flash-blindness, likely, permanent blindness ... probably not?

Blast effects lag blast by seconds to minutes. A 20--30 mi altitude bollide burst (32--48km) gives 2--3 minutes before the blast will hit.

Fragments might be another risk. Again, they'll lag considerably and arrive with fairly low terminal velocity for any likely impactor.

TL;DR: Killing effects cover several modalities and don't arrive instantaneously or simultaneously.

Knowing the enormous freedoms that I had as a kid, I cannot conceive how bad it must be to be a kid today. I could write a long list of activities that were considered normal for kids of my era to do that if their parents permitted them these days then the do-gooders would accuse them of child abuse.

I'm firmly of the belief that keeping kids walled up behind glass and protected from life's knocks when young is one of the significant reasons for why many later lack resilience and develop emotional problems.
Sweet article but I'm pretty sure the optimization there is independent of the circular belt bug. Presumably one could implement a similar optimization for both algorithms (it just might be hairier for the second one).

>> Let people build buildings on their own land.

All land is owned subject to the laws that govern its potential uses. Land that is open to more uses is more valuable than land that is not. Land that can be subdivided is worth more than land that cannot. Allowing people to build more houses on "their own land" is a wonderful gift to land owners. It increases the value of their property. But that exacerbates the problem. A trend towards greater freedom to develop real estate means it is, yet again, only a more attractive investment vehicle.

Rather than "let them build", perhaps we should consider "thou shalt build" or "thou shalt rent". Laws that demand certain real estate owners do X or Y could not only increase the number of rental units but also diminish the attractiveness of unoccupied or unused real estate as an investment vehicle.
Yes, the asymmetry’a axis is race.
It's a common fallacy to look at a heavily regulated market and blame "the market" in general. What makes it worse is supposed "free market" advocates that instead selectively deregulate in their favor. But the market can be corrected by selectively deregulating in favor of the disadvantaged too. It just doesnt happen very often due to the nature of the of the people in power.
You’re aware that the NYT collects millions from Facebook in an invite-only revenue deal[1], right? The fact of the matter is, they’re so arrogant that these sort of articles don’t bother them at all. The whole faux-outrage thing and the song-and-dance with regulators is just seen as part of the process.

Smart people need to stop working at Facebook. Wait a few years, and all of our problems will be solved.

> For some reasons every socialist I talk to actually think a 15-25 hours week of work is sufficient for society to function

A good chunk of that can be improved with full employment. Capitalism also leaves a significant amount of storehouses/factories/etc unused because they're not profitable to operate. We don't have a large enough labor-force to operate at full capacity right now (I think including unemployed), we'd need more immigration for that. Reducing busywork jobs like advertising that suck in more labor in a pointless arms race will free up people for productive labor. Another hope is that a society that has everyone cared for on a fairly even basis will have less crime and so reduce the need for guard labor.

> Corporations can move, and re-invest their profits.

We can take control of the actual physical plants and prevent them from escaping. Money isn't real, physical reality is.

> Free Healthcare for all is a lie.

Many countries have this, even poorer countries than the US. In any case, even libertarian think tanks found M4A would reduce the cost of healthcare by removing complexity from the administrative side at minimum. Pricing can be negotiated down via monopsony.

> High minimum wage will just accelerate automation and the disappearance of low-skills jobs.

Not if the workers control the economy. They will not want their jobs to disappear unless they are promised placement and training. If those are provided, you may see even higher levels of automation as there will be reduced resistance to it. Not many people care if a business process changes so long as it won't leave them on the street.
> The Bourgeois use the Proletariat as a tool to overtake power from the owners and royal blood.

That also goes for every single Marxist revolutionaries including Marx and Engels. Very conformable upper class educated intellectuals obsessed by power dynamics and being seen as enlightened prophets of "the workers", which they know very little of and can barely relate to.

That's a nice theory with maybe a few good insights. But since it is asserted without any evidence it can also be dismissed without evidence.
Yeah. There's no way you could build the ridiculous stuff that some folks do if each individual item on a belt was checking positions and moving individually. It's simply too much stuff.
That doesn't make much sense. USPS can just deliver to France and let them deal with it. Or drop it off in Canada and they can forward it.

There's a ferry that runs between St. Pierre and Newfoundland a bunch of times every day. It's still running. Regular flights to St. John's, Newfoundland, even Paris, France are still happening.

I don't understand this at all -- it's not like USPS was literally flying a plane to St. Pierre, was it?
Ask HN: Who wants to switch jobs and why? (October 2021)
If you are currently employed, what are the pressing issue that are motivating you to switch jobs? Genuinely curious.
Afghanistan doesn’t quite compare, for example a carrier group poses no threat whatsoever to Afghanistan because there is no infrastructure to destroy. In contrast one or two US carrier groups could not only offer a ridiculous level of defense, but also a fast moving and aggressive offense that would pose enough of a threat such that it wouldn’t need to be used. At least one can hope. Interesting and scary times tbh. Given the rapid change in situation in Hong Kong, though, I’m not expecting much.
From the first NYT article it didn't seem like anyone – including the company getting blatantly defrauded – was interested in pursing that matter, so probably not.

I don't disagree with you. My point wasn't that Coke-style brand advertising was worthless, just that it's extremely difficult to measure without much longer experiments - specifically because it's been so successful.
Yeah it sucked but honestly it could have been a lot worse. My credit score rebounded pretty quickly. I also only caught it until after it made it to collections, so very close to where you were. Luckily I work freelance so there weren't any wages to garnish.
> But the market can be corrected by selectively deregulating in favor of the disadvantaged too.

Only to the extent that existing regulation favors the advantaged more than the market naturally does, which tends to make that approach quite limited in potential.

I guess the closed borders mean significantly less flights into those countries, therefore significantly less room in the cargo holds for mail. My guess is cargo planes are still flying in goods, but they cost a lot more so that USPS has decided it's losing too much money...

As far as I know, passenger flights find out the weight of their passengers and luggage, and then sell the remaining space/weight allowance for cargo, I wonder if that's how most overseas mail are delivered. For time-critical or heavy stuff this system is a bit random, obviously, so if you want to deliver something heavy you'd buy space in a cargo plane instead...
Violins don't have frets.
State housing has a place, but I think they really need to fix the demand side of investors. There should be significant deterant to holding residential property in large scale. While options are varied I think a progressive asset tax of total property owned. Something like 0.5% per million starting on the second million. Maybe some principle place of residence reduction. So most people can have a house even a second/third house without occuring holding tax but you stop people sitting on $10m+ in residential property, which is quite a low threshold really. And stop investors dropping billion plus amounts into the market. Then some rule about top marginal rate for obscured ownership like overseas owners and trusts etc to stop shenanigans there.

It comes down to that line about residential property has to be good for residents or good for investors, you can't have both.
