> How is that better than fixing it up without the buying and selling in-between?

The previous owner that neglected it obviously isn't going to fix it. The prospective owner that may buy it it it's fixed likely can't manage a mortgage on a property they're fixing, the costs to fix it, and the cost of living somewhere else. But it's often easier to make major changes if the building isn't occupied during the process.

You certainly have a point with respect to some/many of the changes being superficial, but even with superficial changes, that can be hard to manage with an occupied home.

If the goal is to acquire a sufficient percentage of the float, why is Zillow unloading these houses at a loss?
The web is not vendor-agnostic. It's mostly run by Google (Chromium-based browsers), with Firefox and Safari only owning a fraction of the marketshare.
Thank you!

It does solve all the problems I mentioned, and yes, it's not the simplest device (and sadly, I can't say the high cost is unjustified).
Most flights are available through the airline booking systems such as Sabre. However, airlines might have flights available only on their own website at (sometimes massively) reduced cost, which needs to be booked through that site. So the web scraping became two parts, one to provide the data to our search engine to present to our customer (travel agent) customers. The second part was then we would book via the airlines website with the details provided by our customer's customer.
That doesn’t work because it requires two clocks that are synchronized .
Reminds me of the free for non commercial use VirtualBox plugin that makes itself super easy to install by random endusers, and then phones home so that enforcement on the sales side is almost automated.
That’s the point made at the end of the article. The compiler check does exist, but because it isn’t defaulted to on, no body in 6 years use it. Zig has the checks on by default, so the first time someone used it, they found and fixed it for everyone.

> Anybody using GLFW could have enabled UBSan in their C compiler. Anybody could have run into this same crash and debugged it in the last 6 years. But they didn’t. Only because Zig has good defaults, because it places so much emphasis on things being right out of the box, and because there is such an emphasis on having safety checks for undefined behavior - were we able to catch this undefined behavior that went unnoticed in GLFW for the last 6 years.
> Some results were famously silly, such as ... adding the cost of nuclear war to nuclear reactors.

Is that really silly? The incremental increase in the risk of nuclear war for each gigawatt of civilian nuclear power generation might be small, but the costs of a nuclear war could be quadrillions of dollars (for example if it set the world back by 100 years).

Obviously measuring that risk is difficult, but to give an example, imagine that civilian nuclear power were limited to just the countries which currently have nuclear weapons. That would greatly reduce the proliferation risk and the chance of nuclear breakout in countries like Iran.

The urgency of addressing climate change may take precedence over these concerns in the short term, but if we do manage to reach net zero with a mixture of renewables and nuclear energy, then it's not inconceivable that over-provisioning renewables might allow us to phase out nuclear energy later on.

Suppose it would take 50 years to build up that renewable energy capacity, and 10 years to build a new nuclear power station. That would mean the nuclear power station would only be useful for 40 years, which limits the amount of time they'd have to recoup their costs over.
> China did well after adopting a capitalist economic model. Not so well after adopting a communist economic model.

Let's be clear here -- regardless what you think of the Chinese government, they are far from a "capitalist economic model". Many major industries are nationalized, the state plays an enormous role in the economy. 60% of their economy by market cap is state-owned. It isn't Soviet-style or Mao-era socialism, but it is still a very different system than western capitalism. It's similar to the NEP era in the USSR (1921-1928)
OpenGL so far has hardly been a thing in game consoles anyway, and on Windows most vendors had crappy drivers versus their DirectX ones.

Also contrary to common beliefs, OpenGL is "portable" not portable, as the spaghetti code of vendor extensions, GPU driver workarounds, differences between GL and GL ES, shading language compilers, lead to multiple common paths hardly different from using multiple 3D APIs.
Install OpenJDK's v8 JRE instead.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless -y on ubuntu. Works fine with UniFi Controller. (what do you think they use on the cloud key?)
Yup. Buying all the houses is possible in a constrained market, but Phoenix is unconstrained, and transportation allows us to substitute constrained for unconstrained locations.
You said you weren't offered any of these, but did you tell your boss that you'd have stayed if any of your conditions had been met?

> The threat of war looming over 40 something countries for 60 years has kept them from going to war with each other

It's more the promise of security. War comes from insecurity (or for a few among non-democratic countries, the desire to take something from someone). The US security guarantee for Japan, S Korea, etc. meant that they could act with security.
That’s some crafty selective quoting you’ve done there, even if you agree with the isolated statement which is problematic on its own considering the wider definition of Zionism that’s not what he said.

He said that Israel wants dominate the world, that Jewish students and the Bristol Jewish Student Union are Israeli assets and that their members should be directly targeted as they are “enemies of the left” what ever the fuck that means.

I also find it odd that you claim that Palestinian voices are some how being unheard if anything they by far have the loudest voice of any group under similar circumstances.

I’m also not entirely sure why would you gloat if Israel would become far more extremist and far more isolated than it is now, do you think it that would have any positive outcome for Palestinians?
They might not understand supply&demand and economics but they understand violence and that's all they need to.

Half life is going through exactly determined road with no option to turn left or right. There were token decisions, but that is it, they were just covers.

In wolfesrwin, you could at least go back and had choice between left or right doors. Half life had only way to go - forward. It was like sitting on train moving on railroad.
China is a very long way away from being able to replicate ASML's lithography machines. Those fabs can't be replaced without European technology and the US would almost certainly manage to get an embargo through as a response to an invasion.
Yes, it's a variation on the problem ... but sending many bits to the receiver is a really significant variation on just sending one bit.

I'm not sure whether so many people would be intrigued to read "How to send a real number using arbitrarily many bits."
Right, but the "you need to recompile binaries if you switch something to 64 bit" part was a bit too general.
In the context of a project, it also gives the 'mirrored' a chance to reconsider.
This format is meant for visualization in 3d, and even though it's lossy, it's "visually lossless" for humans. We to start with the archived lossless stacks (compressed with bz2) for any reprocessing.

What you're suggesting with a lossless movie codec would be a great addition, we just haven't had the need for it yet.
Interesting, I wonder if a nuget package could act as a vehicle for this. Since this post is about a preview version though, have they addressed this for the final release next month?
Therefore it is prudent of a society to prevent both: production and use.
I think maybe it’s better to demonstrate a counter argument as I don’t know a single data point taken in context that doesn’t show housing is the least affordable it has ever been. There was a reprieve with the crash but that’s over.
negligible? It all depends on how much hardware you have. If you're a startup, you don't want scaling to cost you anymore than the hardware.

I remember reading years ago about the FB vs MySpace fight.
MySpace was (I think) .NET on Windows with SQL Server. Every extra machine cost a fortune in licensing. Whereas every FB machine was PHP/MySQL.
It matters.
My facts are not wrong. The demographics of the United States did not begin to appreciably change until Reagan* signed his immigration reform bill in 1965 or so.

>Secondly, society is inherently unequal. Congress has attempted to redress some of this equality through affirmative action

Yes, the debate is whether or not this inequality is actually due to racism, and whether codified racism is somehow an appropriate vehicle for correction. Sidestepping this necessary discussion with accusations of white supremacy is not an argument.

>And third, you're saying the quiet part out loud when you yet again show concern about being a minority-majority

I'm not saying anything quiet out loud. I've been loud and clear that I am worried about the fact that whites, today, are already a majority-minority in multiple institutions, rapidly approaching such status in the military and the nation in general, and most importantly, are already being treated unfairly in a misguided attempt to correct perceived racism with actual racism, and being slandered with dehumanizing comparisons to nazis for even attempting to question whether such discriminatory policies are justifiable.

>Are you afraid of being treated the same way non-whites have been treated for the last 100 years, or do you think they've been treated just fine?

First, I really don't appreciate the bigoted implication that only a white male could possibly be concerned with mistreatment of whites. I am a Jewish immigrant. Second, yes, I am indeed concerned that the only socially acceptable view appears to be that today's white people deserve to be mistreated because some white people mistreated others in the past.

I am arguing against literal systemic racism and yet my posts are being flagged. This is the most toxic sort of groupthink and, now that we have successfully convinced 1-2 generations that the only contributions that white people have made to civilization are racism and colonialism, yes, you're god damn right I'm worried that the foundations have been laid for mistreatment of whites, who are a tiny minority with respect to global demographics. Your argumentation is generally dishonest and you appear to be supporting bigotry in the form of some petty revenge fantasy.

Equality of opportunity != Equality of outcome. If you think the meritocratic system is broken, fix the process, don't penalize whites for the perceived sins of some of their ancestors.

Viruses, anyway.

Nobody who knows basic biology has any illusions about the prospect of driving even a single species of bacteria to extinction.

I think that is a reasonable statement. SDL includes other functionality like image loading, audio, etc. whereas GLFW is primarily focused just with getting a window with a graphics context for OpenGL/Vulkan/etc set up.
A Framework to Improve Performance
I hesitate to use such a negative word like “con” to describe what also seems like a potentially smart investment. At the individual level, many people buy assets with the intent to get something back from it - either use of that asset or appreciation in its value or whatever else. Whether it is Zillow buying up houses or a large number of individuals, isn’t the impact roughly the same because it creates equivalent scarcity? I get that Zillow can make unilateral decisions on pricing but I’m asking if there is some theoretical support for the notion that even a decentralized buying spree will lead to the same outcomes, but on a different time scale.

Another question that comes to mind is whether there should be some threshold (percentage) of ownership in a given area subjects a given organization to anti-trust regulation. This isn’t a present reality of anti-trust laws but I wonder if such a framework will limit larger, more powerful organizations while still giving individuals the freedom to transact.

A final thought that crosses my mind is whether this is an actual problem. If the price goes up too high, then buyers shouldn’t buy them. There are numerous cities and towns across the country with cheap housing and cheap land. No one is entitled to buy housing at a given price point at whatever location they want. People need to respond to the pricing signal and look elsewhere if some place like Phoenix is too expensive. Otherwise, their continued purchasing simply suggests that the price is not too high.
I thought they were just making money for Roblox and other big tech companies (who take like three fourths of the total pie).
There's not really much reason to put anything into them. The market moved so incredibly fast this past year there wasn't any motivation to do so.

We have a property that three years ago was worth no more than $550k, we managed to sell it recently (get it under contract) in 2 days for nearly $900k with a few obvious fix-em-up issues -- including all cash offers. If the house had been in great shape our realtor believes we could have moved it for around a million easily.

The jump in price occurred almost entirely in the past year.
It is probably outside the human civilisation's current abilities to simulate the molecular physics of a human cell. Looking through the references of https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-43229-4_... turns up in particular https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094342018819741 from the year 2019, which mentions simulating "20 trillion atoms" on a certain supercomputer; this is perhaps enough atoms to make a very small cell, but I presume those simulated atoms are somehow very nicely behaved (and are simulated over a very short simulated timeframe) relative to the actual biology that happens in humans.
I mean.. hate to be a party pooper, but just because we created a the equivalent of gpt3 for whales, does that mean we can do anything useful? Like talking to whales.. we haven't even established how their language works.

What language even is, is a good question. I read it once demonstrated as this; some species of monkey has a specific call they do when they see a panther, and it results in all the monkeys who hear it to run up their trees. Now what does this call mean? It could mean "jaguar alert!", pointing to a very specific concept-- a certain animal is here and we all know they're dangerous.

It could also mean "I'm scared!", and maybe it's just monkey see monkey do. It could also mean something more abstract, like a blood curdling scream-- there's no one thing that it means, but as humans we instinctively know that people don't scream like that unless something legitimately awful is happening. So maybe the call communicates emotion rather than an intellectual concept-- it's a call of fear that makes other monkeys who hear it also scared.

Just breaking down what animal language even _is_, is a challenge. I'm not optimistic on hearing any oral histories of whales, or even that they record history. I mean humans only started recording history for its own sake like 2000 years ago with herodotus. Before then we have tablets to keep track of stock, letters, and murals which were often made to depict the strength of the reigning emperor and the foes he vanquished. So maybe if we talk to whales it'll be a little like if aliens came to ancient Egypt to talk to the pharaoh; we'll just get a dictator whale telling us about all the other whales he's killed and how he's the greatest.. haha probably not that, though.

Since when was investing the simple act of vanilla stock picking? And I don’t care what the government reports as inflation. Your problem is you don’t actually understand investing from a professional and practical point of view, it’s very different behind closed doors in the real world.
That would be, more or less, exactly what they want, because the artificial scarcity begins dictating prices. You might try to sell to them, but they're not obligated to buy from you; they could simply point to the properties you're offering at enormous markup to unload some of the property they own at an enormous markup. And if they did buy from you at an enormous markup, they can point to those purchases as "comps" for the purposes of valuing their portfolio.

This actually happens in the art world; there's a guy who goes out of his way to overpay for Warhol paintings, because a) he can corner a finite market and b) when a Warhol painting sells for a record amount, the value of his entire collection goes up even if he's the buyer.
A sizeable chunk of artists you likely listen to are still part of Sony Music.
scarcity is only the supply side of the equation.

next year if everyone decides NFTs are nonsense then the demand side of the equation could collapse to zero.

scarce things are only valuable if there's demand for it. things which are only unique are not inherently valuable unless humans decide that uniqueness is also valuable.
Plenty of artists I know personally use Photoshop with tablets, and a few use clip studio or sai. Probably depend on the circles you know.

It is business relationship like any other. There's always some risk with investing and relying on a business partner, but it's also reasonable to have expectations of cooperation and good faith.
The burden of proof for what? That they’re the highest/best bidder for a house (or are the bidder that gives the most certainty or otherwise most appealing to the seller)? I trust the seller to make that determination.
> "Would be interested to know how Ableton’s scriptability compares to some other DAWs… I know Tracktion and Bitwig have some degree of JS support, and Reaper has its own scripting language. Personally I’d love it Ableton made the Python API etc. a bit more official but I can of course understand why they don’t."

There's nothing that really holds a candle to REAPER's scripting API.

For interpreted scripts, it supports Lua/Python/Eel (simple C-like language):

https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultraschall/Reaper_Api_Documenta...

It also has a C/C++ native extension API, and a community Rust API. I have translated the API into C# and D.

https://github.com/justinfrankel/reaper-sdk/blob/main/sdk/re...

https://github.com/helgoboss/reaper-rs

The total number of (stock) API functions is ~1,000. Some core parts of REAPER itself like it's piano roll and media browser are written using it's own plugin API.

It supports making audio plugins with GUI's that hot-reload and have a realtime variable + debugger panel using the Eel language (called "JSFX"). Many of the user-created JSFX are better than paid plugins I've used.

https://www.reaper.fm/sdk/js/js.php

The scripting community is very large and active.

https://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3

It has an in-DAW IDE with intellisense. There are multiple community GUI frameworks, including bindings to ImGui, etc.

Really blows your mind.

(I am familiar with the docs for Tracktion's JS API, know about Studio One's hush-hush JS scripting, Renoise's Lua scripting, Ardour's scripting, etc.)

I was looking at this last week but I was confused around the current state of the project.
