Wow, some of the quotes here:

"Good luck surviving seasonal depression or maintaining your slowly failing eyesight, especially during a pandemic and you should not be spending long periods in common spaces, when 95% of the rooms in Munger have NO WINDOW"

"It can be a huge problem for people to live in because normally people would feel very uncomfortable living in a room without windows, and you don't even have a safe place to recover yourself when you feel down."

"Having building controlled heat/cooling is definitely not ideal and living with 5-6 other grad students may not be your ideal option (weigh this heavily). I happened to luck out with 6 complete strangers"

"The apartments have 6-7 bedrooms (and each has it's own bathroom) which is great when you want to socialize but also a challenge if you need quiet."

And of course, there's real selection bias here. These are grad students, and grad students in Ann Arbor have a fair bit of choice. Any problems at UCSB will be magnified, as it's an undergrad dorm where the students have less life experience and less choice.

What I'd really love to see is a study on the mental health of people moving into this. People generally have a very poor understanding of how lighting affects mental health. I know I did until I took it seriously.

X11 forwarding essentially does that anyway nowadays. Modern toolkits don't actually use most of X11 because it's inefficient and unnecessary with the hardware we have.
But what if no one else in the area could afford to? More to the point, why should they be disallowed from doing so?

> "store wealth" doesn't mean to buy a Taco Bell, fill it with gold bars, then board it up.

Didn't say it did. I think everyone here is comfortable with the concept of real estate as an investment that appreciates in value.

> It just means buying property that makes money (like a fast food franchise, residential rental, office space, pool, etc).

That's not storing wealth, that's generating wealth.

You also mention residential rental. You say one cannot own more than two properties. What happens when one property is massive and I build a multi-resident building on it? Is that one property or N properties?

What if I just lease part of my second property to someone else?

What if my residence is a rental? Or just an apartment in a multi-tenant building? Do I own "one" property or a percentage of another? And if it's a percentage, can I now own two full properties?

Or will I be limited by acreage? If limited by acreage, what about farms? Are we going to be compel people to own parts of farms and lease it out to farmers just so crops can be grown?

There are just so many basic problems and questions with your proposal that it tells me you haven't given it much thought.
> A particularly nasty aspect of SQL UPDATE syntax is the predicate order, i.e. SET is before WHERE. So when you type it in order, there's a dangerous phase you have to go through if you hit enter by accident.

I religiously write it out of order for this reason. The IDE complains for a bit, but it's better to deal with some squiggles for a few seconds until you've filled in the column assignments part.

Design life for buildings is under 50 years and 100-year pandemics are somewhat less frequent? I mean I agree it would be a miserable place to shelter-in-place for COVID, but with COVID in the rear-view mirror for the vaccinated, I'm not sure it's a major concern.

I think fire safety, lack of entrances, lack of windows and fresh air are bigger concerns.

OK hold up, density is good. Let's not do some laundered CA-loves-housing-crunch here.

But yes, the thing needs more entrances, windows, and also the floorspace needs vastly more street interaction.

There is this sick thing where if you compare old and new buildings, and the streetscape is vastly less compact than it used to be. My favorite comparison is in Long Island City:

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7487041,-73.937889,3a,75y,20...

and

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.742877,-73.9540354,3a,75y,76...

Now, sure maybe schools aught not to have commerical tennants for some reason (though frankly I think that's kinda romantic/naive) but the density of ammenities should be no less. There should be cafeterias, corner stores, etc., all spilling out onto the street.

It's not a fortress or mall.

Yes, we have to some degree. That doesn't mean we should be complacent now.

Animal breeding is somewhat different from human breeding.

With animal breeding, there's almost always a set goal. Getting a fatter, tastier, more hardy, or in the extreme, aesthetically pleasing animal.

I doubt we'd really use eugenics for any of them. However, a pure eugenicist might say "Well, why not? Why not select for people less prone to cancer, more physically fit, with better immune systems?"

So then it comes into the question of what eugenics has historically been used for. The worst example would probably be the sterilization of gay people. We used it against mental illness in an age where lobotomy was considered a good treatment for mental illnesses such as hyperactivity.

And all of this, of course, sort of belays the fact that for humans there seems to be no reason why we couldn't use gene therapy in place of breeding programs. Why do we need eugenics when we can directly target the aspects we want in the future generation (and quite a few people would opt in for those changes).

We already seem some of this just in genetic testing of embryos and fetuses. When people know a fetus has downs syndrome, they get abortions and try again. I could see the same with a whole host of chronic illnesses.

Predicate order in SQL is pretty dodgy all around and makes it hard to build intuition around SQL queries. In select, the actual SELECT clause (field selection) can usually be conceptualized as “happening” after all other clauses, but of course it comes first in the query.

This problem is fixed in query languages like EdgeQL.[0]

I am guessing it's because stenographers originally did it by writing shorthand, and nobody wanted to change the name of their job just because started using a different tool to do it.

I can't be accountable for what you find irksome. If during the pandemic you, the father, were the primary caregiver, know that:

- This is NOT the norm. This matters because what's more interesting is the general case, not the exceptions.

- It affected your work, in this case of a man instead of a woman, so the point remains: WFH is very hard for working couples with young children.

As for the relevance of the impact on mothers: it is VERY relevant and highlights the inequality that still remains in Western society. People by default assume the mother will take care, it's happened in every situation and every couple I talked with, and it's my own experience as well.

I'm not accusing you of anything, and if you feel personally addressed, that's on you.
What was reported by Marketplace and iirc CNBC is that the problem Zillow ran into was a shortage of local labor to renovate the houses they purchased.

Which makes sense, as anyone who has tried to hire a contractor in the last six months could have told you. I'm not sure if their ML/data tools accounted for that.

But this quote struck something with me :

> “It’s like it’s making decisions two to three months too late relative to the market.”

That's true of everyone buying homes. The only people who have up to date information on what homes are selling for are the local agents, banks, and lenders. If you're trying to understand home pricing from the outside your data is lagging the market by 45-60 days at a minimum.

When I was putting offers on homes over the summer I was astounded how hard it was to find out what a fair price was. For a layperson it was essentially impossible.
>The key witness against Assange is a convicted pedophile and sociopath who was being paid by the US government.

That's not all that unusual. In many cases, folks are brought to trial and convicted on the testimony of unsavory characters.

An excellent example of this is the conviction of John Gotti[0], who was convicted of (among other things) the murder of Paul Castellano[1].

The evidence against Gotti was largely based on information provided by Sammy "The Bull" Gravano[2].

All three of those guys are/were thoroughly disreputable people and stone killers. Gravano, despite his long and violent criminal career, was given a very short prison sentence and was then placed into the US' Witness Protection Program[3], giving him protection and financial support from the US Government.

Despite this, Gravano continued to be the gangster he always was and was convicted of additional crimes and sentenced to prison again (20 years in New York and 19 years on Arizona, served concurrently).

Just because someone is a scumbag, doesn't mean they can't play a part in prosecutions.

There are many other examples of this sort of thing as well.

>He has since admitted that his testimony was false.

Assuming that can be verified, it's a great point in Assange's defense. Which, I'm sure, won't be lost on his lawyers.

Once again, I am in almost complete agreement; I am the last person to defend popular US American messaging about love and match-making. It is mostly fanciful lies, and telling young people how you wish things were does not prepare them for life.

I wouldn't count them off that easily. Valve is making their own autonomous headset, should be out next year. It will be more expensive, yes. But it will be faster and it will be full blown Linux PC with access to whole library of PC games. Might be very competitive(still will lag in units sold though, but mostly due to supply constraints). Any you shouldn't forget that Sony is still on the market(autonomous PSVR is not out of the question) and Apple is making their own headset.

The point is not that extremely small living spaces, which you flatteringly describe as “economical”, are intrinsically bad. The issue here is the imbalance of power.

I can say with near certainty that very few of the students who would be living in this space would opt for such a layout (extremely small rooms, no windows). Obviously, the students have absolutely no say in the matter, and neither does the university staff who is supposed to take care of the students' well-being.

Rather, the power dynamic here is completely unilateral. Every detail of the space 4500 people will be living in will be prescribed and commanded by one guy, based on no other credentials than the fact that he's paying for it.

This is the issue: the imbalance of power, and the unilateral ability of an investor and “hobby architect” to make generations of students live in conditions they would not themselves choose. The fact that people on HN seem to be against this building only serves as evidence that most people would not choose to live in it.
> X is like trying to fly modern rockets with Apollo-era computers. The computers will work, until they don’t. In which case the only people able to fix them are retired and you have to salvage parts from aerospace museums. Over the years the cruft of replacement parts has accumulated and no one person can really understand the whole thing anymore, and entire sections are not understood and nobody remembers why they’re there or really what they do (but if you get too close to it the lights go off in certain important corner cases).

And often the response to that it to rewrite it in something "modern," like Electron.

I feel the appropriate response to a situation like you describe is put in the work to figure the existing thing out rather throw it away and put the work to building and debugging a replacement. It's less sexy, but it's the right thing to do.

Now it would be an entirely different matter if the old system could not longer provide adequate performance, etc. I'm only addressing the "it's old and only understood by olds, therefore replace" thought process.
Sway itself may not use dbus, I think that's right, but a desktop workflow built around sway for day-to-day use will typically utilize DBus for e.g., pipewire, a notification daemon, xdg-desktop-portal (screen sharing) at the least. But you are right of course that these are not sway and you don't need to use them. A typical user would need to be motivated to actively avoid it.
No. Anyone can make simple roblox game, but the popular good ones are made by adult developers.

> And in this case, that already happened: Manning served 7 years in jail for leaking the very information that Assange is being extradited over. With the leaker found and prosecuted, convicted, and sentence served, the U.S. Department of Justice should congratulate itself on a job well-done and move on to other things. It's absurd that they continue to pursue the publisher of the information almost a decade later.

That's not really how the justice system works, or should work. If two people commit a crime together, one of them is caught right away and punished for the crime, and the second is caught ten years later, would you expect the second person to go free because the first person was already caught? Of course not.

I don't think Assange should be extradited by the way, but this is a very bad argument, in addition to some of the criticism of various sibling comments.
It's only that survivable if you have the option of hospital treatment.

If you're the right kind of person, you have >>90% chance of not needing hospital treatment at all. But that still leaves a few per cent, and if you need hospital treatment and can't get it, your survivability is far from 99.99%.

Which implies that the hospitals must have free resources (even after they take care of random things like eye operations instead of delaying treatment), which in turn restricts the number of people who can go unvaccinated. It's simple really.

I think the other key feature they’re angling for is suspension or banning of a Facebook account for whatever reason will no longer cost you your entire Oculus library.

It’s a very long standing problem. Many people created new Facebook accounts just for Oculus, bought maybe $80-$100 worth of games, and then got their Facebook account banned[*]. There is pretty much no recourse but to whine on the Oculus subreddit till the community rep escalated them past tier 1 support. Even then, the result would be “We’ve refunded your purchases please use your actual Facebook account.”

It’s probably gotten bad with charge backs and returned headsets that they’re finally doing something about it.

[*]: The common speculation is that this would trip a similar heuristic to “Egg Accounts” on Twitter and would be banned without recourse because that particular piece of Facebook’s automation didn’t have visibility into the Oculus-side purchase activity. The assumption by Facebook being the account didn’t have any content so if it was an actual human they’d just create a new account.
After the "Facebook pixel", yes.

Accessibility can mean two things: affordances that people need to have an equal experience, but also affordance that people would like to have a more pleasurable experience. And in the entertainment business, people experiencing pleasure tends to be good business.

As noted in many introductions to accessibility, these features help more than just the stereotypical example you may think of when hearing that word. There are many forms of accessibility: lifelong, acquired, temporary, chronic, and situational. Between those 5 forms, these features really help everyone.

It’s all about context, consideration, dignity, but mostly, letting the challenge be the puzzle itself instead of the structure of the scaffolding holding the puzzle in place.

> because we wouldn't want any place for the homeless to feel human either

I'm sorry, that is nonsense. Who is "we" anyway? Voters? Government? The rich and famous? C'mon.

Nobody cares about who uses a bathroom. The issue is how it is used and cared for.

Public bathrooms, regardless of the venue, tend to suffer from the tragedy of the commons [0] effect. Most people use them as they would their own bathroom at home. All you need is a very small percentage who just don't care, who are absolute pigs, to ruin them for everyone. If you have ever gone to a public restroom at a Los Angeles beach you know exactly what I am talking about. They are nothing less than disgusting and sometimes revolting. And this is so due to a small percentage of animals (1%? Who knows?) who have no concept of social responsibility and consideration towards others.

My guess is you are not aware of what happened this year at schools all over the US [1] (and maybe elsewhere). This, again, was at the hands of a very small number of kids who, for who-knows-what-reason decide it is OK to behave like animals. At our kids school a handful (3 to 5?) actually got arrested. The school had to close all bathrooms except for two. Students had to ask for permission to go and could only go one at a time. They had to post a person outside each bathroom to go inspect it after a student got done. The animals caused tens of thousands of dollars in damages and the inconvenience to well-behaved kids cannot be measured.

And then there's a sense of scale. If you own a small restaurant, you can't have 300 people come in just to use the bathroom. You are not a bathroom facility. These things cost money and upkeep and, yes, they need to be clean and available for customers. At the limit you'd have to hire multiple staff just to clean and maintain the bathrooms --because they will get trashed.

As is always the case, reality isn't driven by a single convenient variable. One has to consider the multiple (tens, hundreds...) of drivers behind any effect. It isn't single-cause -> effect. It's often incomprehensibly-complex-multivariate-problem -> effect.

:-) High five then, I guess.

It's not even so much about the actual ideas or projects, because these are usually very much related to the setup that I've met the person(s) in. Everyone has ideas and at some point there was something were multiple people were (at least initially) passionate about. However, it never really stuck.

I've read about the afterpay guys and found it pretty fascinating, so maybe it might not even be the best idea to look for team mates in actual team mates, but rather somewhere totally different?

However, just checked your profile, I find it fascinating that you nevertheless pulled something off and launched an idea on your own then! How was it going and has this maybe helped with making connections to people that might be interested to work with you?
I doubt Facebook's name change is driven by the last few weeks of bad PR. The relevant model seems Google's change to Alphabet, which wasn't driven at all by an attempt to flee the negative associations with their previous name.
