I see the housing market as part of wider transition.

I think it is clear we are moving to a technocracy - we will not own anything, we will receive a UBI, we will be provided for (as a low level) but this will come at the cost of freedom. Technocrats (aka billionaire elites) will take closer control of the world's resources and micro-manage us.

There are several issues before we actually enter that system. Firstly, it is required that we all have a biometrical-security-id to do anything. This part is already underway - we are starting to be convinced of the need to provide id (green pass, citizen scores or whatever) to go shopping, or even leave the house.

Another of the issues that those who would achieve technocracy face, is that as much as the billionaire class owns, there is still independent wealth. In raising house prices, they create a new conflict - the older generation that own their houses know what it means - independence, that they worked for it, etc. Mostly they cannot conceive of owning nothing. The younger generation are the opposite, they cannot conceive of owning anything, or even moving out of their bedroom - they face an interminable childhood. I can see how being provided with a 110 foot flat would be a step up. They are/will be fine with the older generation losing their wealth and having the government re-allocate those resources towards a small flat.

On the ground floor then, we will see a conflict between generations. The planned result is that we are all worse off, living in a smaller footprint, under close control. What little wealth is on the ground floor, will shift up and become owned by corporations. On the higher floors, corporations will own everything - all the property. Corporations are in fact owned by individuals - we do not see them, but these self-styled 'gods' will own everything.

This is not freedom - the direction of travel is more overt bondage for the general population. And mostly, in their ignorance, people will be happy at the outcome.

If we were really tackling inequity, we would be tackling those that own everything - but this is impossible given the secrecy of trusts, media blackouts, etc. Ownership should be entirely transparent - everything should be traceable. Corporations are merely a further cloak - corporations are owned too. Which individuals own Vanguard and Blackrock? But this will not be the solution we seek to resolve the problem.

Instead, we will fight amongst ourselves. We will cheer as new annual taxes (at 1%) are introduced on the value of a 'expensive' (read, inflated) property, or when reverse equity options are offered as the government buys up the housing stock. (Reverse equity will come with a legal agreement to prevent the purchase of another property.)

I hope this doesn't happen, but it seems that we have far to go individually - when we still believe the media, when we still believe that the government is there to help, we really haven't learnt much.
The data released by public health here in Ontario suggests that 2-doses has no impact at all on transmission, while boosters - which 5-11's aren't eligible for - reduce transmission against Omicron by about 40% for about 6-8 weeks.

While vaccines should be available to any 5-11 year old child whose parents want them, the idea that they help in keeping schools open doesn't seem at all logical.
Exactly. It’s hard not to make comparisons to the Nintendo approach with Occulus. Delivery a quirky one-of-kind experience moated by platform exclusives, banking on the experiences outweighing the under-delivery of cheap hardware.

But Valve has Alyx. Oculus tried to have a Mario in Lucky’s Tale, and Lucky is a super cute and appealing character, but gaming is older now. I had to look up the name of Lucky’s Tale to remember. Alyx has WAY more mindshare imho.
One step forward would be to just disallow any tax deductions for renting. Next step, increase taxes on rented or empty housing.

In a few years, the market would settle with much more affordable prices for buying. But we still would have a problem that building new houses would stop to a halt due to low ROI, and renting market would heat again. For that, I'm not sure how to solve this.
Many of these examples aren't really in C but in C-like pseudo-code. In that domain they are perfectly accurate. Even in C, 'int' bitlength is defined by the implementation. int only needs to be 16 bits or more, but it could easily be enough bits to exceed number of known atoms in the universe in which case overflow is impractical.

I'd say that's an example of the difference between science (the authors don't need to show every detail of a practical implementation and can assume infinite bits in int) and engineering where you do need to make such consideration.
Worklets can be used to run animation code on a separate thread, unlike current JS animation libraries which stutter if there is other code blocking it.

Depends how fast the market moves. Any acquisition will get enough scrutiny that even if it goes through it will take a while

This will both scare off potential acquisitions and slow things down a lot, enabling others time to make better plays.

Even if they choose all the right targets it will still be hard.
No food is cheap because of our vast productive land and technology. I'm not denying that subsidizes don't exist. You can't just make general statements.

If you added up the entire market for all retail and food services-- we are talking trillions of dollars a year in sales. The subsidizes are small. Think restaurants, grocery stores, food processing, etc that are all in this category.

If you don't let them track you, you get random advertising. And random advertising is painful to watch. I'm not advocating for targeted advertising, just stating a simple fact.

I remember back with XP everyone was installing additional themes and gadgets to completely customise the look of their system. And it worked fine. Why can't it work now?

A computer is part of the room. It's part of the furniture. It's part of the looks. I should be able to decorate the digital desktop, as much as I am able to decorate the surrounding desk and room.
Out of curiosity, do you have a link to the standards I can read?
Federal does not have parole. It does have a "good time" system where sentences can be reduced by ~15%, and I would expect most white collar prisoners to be able
to stay out of trouble.

Just a note - People who have been in federal prison over 35 years, before the law changed, are still eligible for parole.
I believe the new mixing algorithm is only available in the latest version of their desktop software Rebelle (version 5). This browser-based demo hasn't been updated since 2015, I think.
Go find the HN discussion on this report. German processes and bureaucracy surrounding road worthiness checks is not favourable towards non-established car brands like Tesla.

In short: big car brands' cars go through a preliminary check at manufacturers' licensed dealerships, and only after that get sent to the government's checks. It enables manufacturers to fix cars before independent verification so their safety numbers look great. Tesla doesn't have this kind of extensive network for "pre-checks".
Under what definition is a physical computer not Turing Complete? The lack of infinite memory? That requirement would preclude literally everything but theoretical computers. It’s a lot more logical to talk in terms of “if there was infinite tape, would this thing Turing Complete?”

Brainf** is famously Turing Complete and can be executed on any desktop you can think of. That alone is enough to prove that your desktop itself is Turing Complete.
I'm guessing they put in 100k or more go remodel. 290k wouldn't surprise me. They are still making a lot money, but they are also taking that risk. There is far more of it going on than should be, but people who need to move in a hurry might like it. The better such companies that have existed for years without the advertising have good working relationships with contractors and thus get both a better deal and faster service than you could: the contractors know who brings in busines. They also know which contractors are actually good as opposed to scams.

But the business doesn't support nearly the advertising that you see in normal markets. Call A qualified realtor with a dump house and they will call these people if your house is a hard sell. (If you know the fair value of your house you can avoid realtor fees selling direct )
If you measure it by browser market share, which is obviously not a flawless metric but the best one I can think of, Apple controls 37%.

So, I don't use FB or TikTok, but isn't FB just trying to copycat TikTok? They would never do that, they've never done it in the past.
Little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

And as more and more information is distilled into sound bites, tweets, and simplified visualisations, I am afraid more and more people will spend their brain power acquiring little bits of knowledge, never going deeper than a 10-minute TED talk.

The end result will be great cocktail party conversations, but very few people actually solving real problems.

>Maybe make those places more attractive to live, to take the pressure off the high-demand places.

How? This is a catch-22 that every run down city is trying to solve and can't. People don't move in because the places have no good jobs, investments, infrastructure, teachers and doctors, while the investments, jobs, doctors and teachers don't come there because there's nothing waiting for them there.

I've seen the same in Europe. Most good jobs, schools, doctors, etc, are all coming only in the big cities where all the talent is, and all the young talent is moving into the big cities, where all the good opportunities are. Catch-22.
Pretty brilliant concept. Obviously they will like the podcast they are listening to, or they wouldn't listen to it. So you get a lot of positive reviews for as long as they are mistaking the review for the podcast rather than the app.
The vast majority of people, if they are already financial comfortable, would forego opportunities to steal and rob, even when the sums that doing so could garner them are astronomical. Those who lack this moral constitution are generally not entrusted with the kind of responsibility that would allow them to do grievous harm to society.

If this wasn't the case, society would fall apart very quickly.
They already have this in Texas (homestead exemption) and Texas is one of the hottest markets for single family rentals. They are building entire suburbs that are rental homes only. Millennials as a group don’t want to live in apartments anymore because of the effects of Covid 19 causing people to be locked into their homes.

I don't think I understand you here, because your argument is in favor of what I just said above?

Why would you pay a credit card fee and a Patreon fee if all you want to do is directly sponsor a Podcaster?

You see, lightning transactions are more or less free (as in, sub $ cent transactions) [1].

And using the Fountain.FM or Breez podcasting app's allowes not just you to stream money to the podcaster herself, but also a % of that "donation" to be split or even wholly donated to yet another person. [2]

[1] Scroll down to Median Fee: https://1ml.com/statistics

[2] For example, when you listen to this episode it will not stream money to the podcaster, but to the Human Rights Foundation: https://player.fm/series/closing-the-loop-2955490/ep-14-rodo...
The problem the above posters are referring is not that they feel life is about money or even that most people feel life is about money. The problem is reliably telling the difference between people that feel that way from those that don't. There's no recruitment process that can possibly determine whether someone, when faced with the prospect of walking away with $300M or not would make the right choice. It's just too extreme to be able to simulate. And you have to get it right 100% of the time. If you have 100 employees and get it wrong 1% of the time, you still have a problem.

Yes - the different impact on private and public entities is crucial. Generally, I'm skeptical about almost all riots. Most can't be adequately controlled, entailing damage to the property/persons of private individuals.
I see what you’re getting at but no I don’t think AI driving is meant to get much closer than the average driver. I think in some cases driving on the wrong side of the road and drifting or not detecting objects is certainly 100% failure without need to experience a crash. An AI needs to drive at safe distances just like humans until and only when there are no more humans behind the wheel.
Thanks. While it would help ReScript, the OCaml ecosystem seems to be mostly about independance, so I doubt this kind of thing will emerge.
> Which individuals own Vanguard and Blackrock?

Dunno about Blackrock but Vanguard is owned by it's own funds, so it's customers own it. It's basically a customer co-op.

I'll throw this out there (even though I know the response I'll get), why not use Crystal-lang instead of Go-lang? Besides the obvious differences in funding, what does Go have that Crystal doesn't?
In Python it's especially scary to have some resource management at the end of a block. I have made bugs so many times when after refactoring I screwed up the indentation and the resource management at the end no longer happened in the right way.

The pragmatic approach I've taken to deal with this is make heavier use of custom context managers so creation and cleanup code must stay together.

But I'm also getting tired of whitespace sensitive languages.
Turing completeness means literally nothing. It’s all about the APIs.
I might be wrong, I've never actually tried it, last time I looked the explanation on how it works is unclear which is pretty on-brand for Apple-Developer relations.
What could small town north Dakota do to make you want to move there? Fargo is maybe large enough to offer enough city life to attract you, but what could small towns actually do?
A house that's $2m today is that expensive because it's a highly desirable home, much more desirable than the vast majority of homes out there - probably in the top 5%. You can never make such homes reachable for the majority of people because there aren't enough of them - if there were, they wouldn't be $2m right now. 50%+ of people can never afford the top 5% of homes.
CSS is already Turing-complete.

> Apple's ad system is subject to the same rules.

This does not appear to be true, given that they were asked this question by the FT and refused to answer.

See: https://www.ft.com/content/074b881f-a931-4986-888e-2ac53e286...

Money quote (which to be fair, was not too an FT journalist):

“Apple was unable to validate for us that Apple’s solutions are compliant with Apple’s policy,” he said. “Despite multiple requests and trying to get them to confirm that their products are compliant with their own solutions, we were unable to get there.”
You're missing that houses in USA are basically built with wood whereas in EU its bricks and concrete, that makes a huge difference in price.
Very interesting - I hadn't heard of the Battle of Athens. I guess that a riot isn't necessarily a sign of the need for change of government. In all polities, there are people who will riot against the government!
As another said it is referring to LAG (Link Aggregation Groups or "EtherChannel").

From a logical construct perspective each "2x100G" interface is represented by a single "200Gbps" layer 3 interface. When referring to 2x2x100G, it really is meaning 2 layer 3 interfaces, consisting each of 2x100G ethernet interfaces in the link aggregation group.

Hashing of L3/L4 header data provides for consistent flow -> lag member mapping to avoid OOOs and other historical multi-link issues.

I don't advice anybody to do it longer term, but yes, you can do it at work.
Regardless of whether it puts people or jobs at risk, I don't believe society should be paying this advertising tax (in the form of time wasted being interrupted by ads, consuming garbage misleading content that's only there to generate an ad impression such as chumboxes/Taboola/Outbrain, the privacy violations, etc) just so that a relative minority can have a job.

Otherwise, you could also argue that illegal things such as violence or theft also enable people to have "jobs" in countries where law enforcement doesn't or can't crack down on it.

Food is also cheap the New Zealand, who doesn't subsidise at all. The US has fantastic soils, good weather, buckets of cheap capital, and an awesome transportation network (both natural and artificial); that's why food is cheap.

Aren't you worried about increasing the attack surface a lot for a machine directly accessible on the Internet?

I'm neither a network nor a security expert, but I would have thought that the router would be better running the minimum essential software only, and that the rest of that stuff would be better on other machine(s) on my local network. Especially since you have a VPN set up.

There is something unusual about this hack.

And it's not the hack itself. Crypto projects get hacked every week. Multichain bridges are the target of the month, with eye-watering amounts and complex code running on different blockchains, and off blockchain. And a Solana bug like this one is to be expected.

What is surprising is to see a project promise to fully repay everyone, within two hours of the attack occurring. That size of cash for a "we'll fund it back up", and that kind of speed is really unusual.

In the immediate aftermath of the hack, people were commenting that the now unbacked Solana side eth was still trading near its normal prices, and it stayed that way until the announcement. This leads me to guess that insiders must have known that there would be a chunk of money coming to refill the coffers after the hack, which in turn means that the decision to send the project hundreds of millions of dollars must have been made at or before minutes had elapsed from the hack.
Does anyone know if a state hasn't legalised medical marijuana, can medicinal marijuana (such as Marinol) be used in an ICU setting?

I've heard marijuana is sometimes given to children diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome after their 3rd surgery (Fontan) to encourage them to eat.

I've also heard medical marijuana is sometimes given to children diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome (and other syndromes) to help with seizures.

Would these two cases only be allowed/legal in states that have legalised medical marijuana?
Nothing stopping someone from buying all the remaining tickets. But if you do the math, I think you'll find it's still not worth it. How fast can you scratch/verify tickets? If you take the lump sum, you get something like 60% of the grand prize. If you take the annuity, it pays out over 20-40 years. Taxes will take out another chunk.

But everyone's situation is different. If you already have losses that could be tax-deducted from the win, that would help you. If you could monetize the process by selling your story or gaining youtube fame, that would help. Some youtuber did buy $1,000,000 worth of tickets without any particular strategy and presumably made profit from the youtube side of his business. As expected, he got back ~70% so it only cost him ~$300k + production costs.
> Assuming an estimated ROAS of about 6-10x then this equates to advertisers seeing a $60B to $100B reduction in sales via Facebook.

That's a pretty big assumption. Do we have any data that backs that up?

It's just as easy to assume that there will be very little impact, because most people ignore Facebook ads, and that this is actually saving small businesses money.

The insane real estate prices in some parts of Europe are mostly due (besides the monetary policies, NIMBYsm, regulations, and inherited wealth) to the scarcity of land in that desirable location, and less about the quality of what's built on it. And I'm not even talking about beach front properties in the south of France.

Ive seen many old houses for sale in Germany for ludicrous money, that you'd basically have to tear down and build something livable.
