I'm not sure you're using "affordable" the way it's used in California these days, though.

Affordable housing doesn't exclusively mean "the projects". It's also used to mean a certain percentage of units in a market-rate building will be designated as affordable. I believe in CA that means that renting/owning it can cost no more than 30% of household income for a renter/buyer that meets certain income requirements. It has nothing to do with the "used market". In many municipalities, there's a minimum affordable percent required by law for new development.

> You don't build affordable cars, you just build cars, which end up becoming "affordable" in the used car market. Ditto for housing.

This comparison is kinda weird, since nearly all cars depreciate in value, and quickly, while traditionally property values generally trend upward, modulo financial crises and large recessions.

> Not unless you do something like Singapore, which sells their affordable housing, permitting individual purchasers to leverage private market financing.

That's a thing in CA as well; it's called a Below Market Rate Ownership Program. If you poke around on Redfin or Zillow, you can often see listings that seem exceptionally low for the property and location, but when you read the description, they'll always mention "BMR" and "meeting income requirements".

> Advocating for "affordable housing" is really just an excuse to oppose housing as you can always claim that a project isn't sufficiently "affordable". This is basically how most residential projects end up getting stonewalled.

The developer and municipality negotiating the final count of affordable units sometimes does slow things down, but that is by no means the dominant cause of stonewalling here.

> How about we just let real estate developers build housing. Full stop.

That would help, certainly, but while studies have shown that just building market-rate housing does help relieve pressure off older & less-desirable housing stock, building both market-rate and affordable housing helps house lower-income folks a lot more, and faster. Consider that an affordable/BMR unit is available to a low-income household immediately after it goes on the market, while building solely market-rate units won't cause older homes to drop in price for some time, especially if the new market-rate housing doesn't cause all demand to be satisfied. (Consider that in places like SF it will take years [decades?] at the current new-building rate to satisfy even mid-pandemic demand.)

To summarize: we need to build a lot more, and we need to build it yesterday. Some of it should be designated "affordable" in order to add some equity to the equation while demand continues to outstrip supply. Existing property values will drop, but I (as a homeowner) will gladly take that hit if it means more people of all income levels can live here and feel secure in their housing.
There aren't that many mobile home parks in wealthy areas of SV. I'd say there are more RVs parked on the streets of PA, MV, RWC than there are units of mobile home parks in the area.

And while there may be a few $4M near mobile home parks, this is far from the norm. Most $4M homes are surrounded by $2-5M homes — few even have $1M homes nearby (maybe just a few teardown properties tied up in probate).

They should try giving incentives to localities that build dense housing. I think NIMBY have a point that if we pick a specific place that place gets screwed with all the negatives of an influx of people, so we either give incentives or force development everywhere. The former just seems easier to do.

I've seen that number as well but Saxony also has the lowest vaccination rate of all the Bundesländer in Germany, so you would expect there to be a much worse ratio of unvaccinated to vaccinated in the ICU as the relationship is not linear (which throws off a lot of people).

You'd think that 50% vaccination rate accounts for something but it only halves the speed of the spreading of the virus which doesn't help that much for an exponential rate (I hope my math checks out :-).
>How about we just let real estate developers build housing. Full stop. We can use policy and public funding to fill in the cracks, but "building affordable housing" doesn't actually make any sense at scale. Not unless you do something like Singapore, which sells their affordable housing, permitting individual purchasers to leverage private market financing. You get significantly more bang for your buck that way as private finance markets have much more money than is available from the government.

An excellent point.

This was successfully done with Mitchell-Lama[0] housing, which provided more than 100,000 housing units (both rental and cooperatives) in New York.

This program was begun nearly 70 years ago and has been quite successful.

Unfortunately, similar programs have not been implemented elsewhere and the rate of new Mitchell-Lama housing development has slowed to a standstill.

Revitalizing Mitchell-Lama and creating similar programs elsewhere could spur development of lots of "affordable" housing.

Sadly, governments in the US seem to be more interested in maximizing real estate values than in housing its residents.

I should have included mention of this type of development in my previous comment[1] about revitalizing small towns. I'd posit that such programs could be quite helpful in those types of efforts too.

It's hard to say without knowing more. Here are a few questions that come to mind:

- What stage is the company? Earlier employees will be diluted more, which is one reason for getting a bigger slice of equity. 0.2% is low if they haven't raised any money.

- If the company has raised, how? A lot of people don't appreciate that if a seed-stage company uses a YC SAFE and hasn't done a priced round yet, as an early employee you're going to eat that dilution, even though the raise already happened. The money may already be in the bank, but the shares won't be issued until later.

- How senior is your friend? 0.2% would certainly be low if they're Staff+, for example.

- What's the cash component of the offer? As you approach and push past $200k you should expect equity to drop precipitously, even for a more senior person.

- Are there other valuable elements to the offer worth considering? E.g. 10-year exercise window and/or early exercise on the options.

- How specialized is the business, and does your friend offer any expertise in the area, or are they fungible?

The market is pretty hot right now, so I'd guess that 0.2% is low, but if it comes with a solid salary and good benefits, for a mid-level generalist developer it could be more or less right.

Python Engineering Articles: For Hours of Fun
Land cost still goes up as density increases. A 30-unit multifamily building on a half-acre goes for $10M+; the same lot with a SFH would go for about $3-4M. Even subtracting out structure value, dense housing is worth significantly more on a per-acre basis. This is how developers turn a profit, and how they get SFH owners to sell to them in the first place.

Land cost per unit goes down as density goes up, because the amount of land used by each unit goes down. That 30-unit apartment building uses about 700 ft^2/unit, at an amortized cost of about $600K/acre. The SFH uses a 1/2 are (20,000 ft^2), at an amortized cost of about $6M/acre.

Aviation and shipping make up 5-6% of GHG emissions, not a trivial amount. Aviation is projected to expand several-fold by 2050 which, in the context of decarbonisation, means it will take up a progressively larger fraction of global emissions over time.

The aviation's offset market, CORSIA, is already one of the most developed in the world.

This is meant in the context of genetic survival. Homo sapiens were, eventually, better equipped to reproduce and survive.

Unless we have more details about this claim we can’t be sure, but it seems like the ADA claim is probably well-intentioned but also not correct.

Chase does not have to implement a specific solution to a users problem, they have to make a reasonable adjustment - I.e. you can install a small ramp if someone asked for a lift.

Depending on the issue raised, chase may feel they have a reasonable way of providing the services - for instance if the user is blind and uses some specific Linux screen reader then telephone banking may also be a reasonable adjustment rather than Linux support.

Chase may see supporting Linux for all users because of one persons disability as an ‘unreasonable’ adjustment (I don’t see the issue, but this is approximately how the claim would work). To be open I’m not exactly sure how ADA works as I’m more familiar with UK legislation.

The worst part of this is that 'affordable housing' requirements in SF have turned into a tax on new housing that just prevents both from being built (e.g., 'Oh you want to build a 500 unit building that just barely pencils? Well, unless you can also build 75 affordable units, that lots just going to sit empty, isn't it?'. It's one of the greatest examples of perverse incentives in the history of time.

Car lockouts are a pretty typical occurrence and they happen commonly with every other person. If you find yourself in such trouble, just stop for a bit and take a deep breath. In a potentially heated scenario, thinking calmly will assist you and when you calm down, check to see whether you have a spare key somewhere, maybe your spouse or a close friend has one. If this is not the case, you can always contact services for vehicle lockouts in North London that are decently dependable and skilled. You may, however, double-check a few other choices as well.
I don’t think you can really say that ‘Hoff designed the 8008’. The architecture / ISA came from CTC and Federico Faggin actually designed the chip.

I once worked on this code where the builds were half an hour long, because there was this manual process of git pushing changes, compiling it as a plugin, then removing and readding the plugin from the server.

We put a lot of thought into the code because of that. Everything was planned out in a document. But when you run it, you discover things were left out - someone forgot to escape a ' or we forgot that something needed 4 parameters instead of 3.

First, it encourages some hacks - just put in some tech debt here and there and then fix it when it compiles correctly.

Secondly, the morale hit is tremendous. Even with a 1 min compile, it just makes you feel terrible when you get nothing done, then you go to work feeling terrible. The other guy who worked on the project ended up working until late at night, then sitting in the office never getting any work done, until he spiraled into depression and was eventually let go.

There's the "one more build" effect too. A build takes 5 min. It's 5.50 PM. You want to head home at 6 PM. The build doesn't work. You go home annoyed or you can work on it. If you work on it, you end up going home at 8 PM because of how these things go. So in the future, you just end up not doing any work late in the day.

> The initial argument was that oil is under-priced relative to its full cost of formation. You're now arguing that we can synthesize oil given sufficient energy.

> The principle value of fossil fuels has been somewhat less their chemical properties than the stored energy that they represent.

Long term, it is their ability to store energy in a relatively safe, compact and lightweight form. If our energy production transitions to nuclear, solar, fusion, etc., all those are unsuitable for things like jet aircraft. But using that energy to create jet fuel is quite viable.

I.e. we needn't worry about running out of geologic oil.

> If we do find a viable means of creating synthetic hydrocarbon-based fuels

We already have, haven't we? I'm no chemist, but with all the chemical engineering expertise, I find it hard to believe we cannot product gasoline on an industrial scale given energy, carbon, and hydrogen. There's just no point to doing it right now because it's cheaper to pump it.

I.e. the two things that matter are the extraction cost and the cost to synthesize it.

That is absolutely not what queuing theory says. In equally simplified terms, queuing theory says that for a system that handles 99 events per second if you size it for 100 it will probably fail because 99 is just the mean, and when you overshoot (in events per second) you don’t have the capability to cover it during the undershoot (in events per second) period because events have piled up.

For a numerical example of queuing theory 101 and why variance is very important rather than something that “scares people away” [0]. Flow tracking is not enough.
