>Housing is already affordable in the United States compared to other countries when you compare median house price to median income.

Ditto. As an European I envy how affordable real estate is in the US compared to Germany for example. My US boss at the time had bought a nice big house with a garden in the suburbs of the Dallas-FW area, way cheaper than something similar would have cost in the suburbs of Munich, where our office was.

Case in point, most of our US colleagues had big houses in Texas which they owned, while most of the Munich team lived in small apartments which they had to rent. Quality of life is nice in Munich, but the real estate market there is crazy compared how good the US has it.

Even if you do like for like the United States is much cheaper than Europe when comparing median income to median house price. Add in the highly subsidized mortgages and it’s a slam dunk in favor of the United States.

The housing crisis is a meme basically centered around 15 locales in the states.

Ask HN: Is Firebase Analytics a Ranking Factor in the Play Store?
I couldn't find anything about that and try asking this question one more time, since the last time I couldn't get an answer.

I want to protect the privacy of my users as much as possible and I don't need Firebase Analytics to get insights, so I'm thinking of removing it. It'd be a problem tho if it's a secret ranking factor in the Play Store. I already know that AdWord conversions won't work without it.

It's funny that we talk about manufacturing "dying" while productivity is still very high. Meanwhile, the construction industry is actually foundering and we shrug. "Guess China is buying all the cement." Which cannot explain international disparities at all.

We can build small projects out of wood just fine. But those smaller projects need to be supported by larger projects: airports, hospitals, roads. Our existing concrete (literally) infrastructure is overburdened, which drives voter demand for restrictions on move-ins. Stop moving to Atlanta, stop moving to Austin, stop moving to Sussex County, Delaware.

We shouldn't be overwhelmed every time a city grows. Wonks blame the voters, voters blame the wonks, a bridge in Pittsburgh falls into a river.

The history of many cities shows periods of rapid growth far exceeding Austin over the last decade. San Francisco's population grew by >20% every decade from 1850 to 1930. There is no general rule that says growing cities must be so expensive. It's a phenomenon in the US, right now, not everywhere, all the time.

You can get thc infused rolling papers. But most of them create the paper traditionally or with nationally legal hemp, then infuse them with thc extracts from completely different plants.

That is to say, there is no correlation with hemp paper and thc infused paper. They come from different plants and as a consumer you want them to because the different plants can be specialized to their purpose.

The fingerprinting part is to avoid double counting and using cookies - most analytics and feature flag services have something equivalent to:

for analytics you could rotate the salt daily if you're only concerned about daily unique visitors
This makes sense to me.

And it also seems notable to me that Rails (which I generally like; I am not a Rails hater this is not a Rails hate comment) -- often seems to be trying to do the opposite. Like separating a controller and it's view code -- things which in the typical Rails app are pretty tightly coupled -- into the higher level controllers and views folders, putting all controllers next to each other and all views next to each other, instead of a controller next to it's coupled view. (which I do find an inconvenience as a developer).

But the risingly popular view_component library for use with Rails makes the 'proximate' choice, putting the view template(s) next to the logic it's coupled to.

I was looking at this earlier and noticed the tree walking interpreter. Nice work with the upgrade!

For folks not familiar, basically every major interpreter today compiles to bytecode and runs on a bytecode VM. People will squabble about the term "compiler" saying it only applies to generating binary files directly but I still think it's fun almost every major interpreter is a compiler in the general sense.

The only major interpreters that do tree walking AFAIK are shells like bash.
Ignoring the ethics of the adverting for now and looking at the advertisers using Facebook, particularly the many small business that use the platform. This $10B hit in revenue is directly down to a reduction in ad spend, which directly hits revenues.

Assuming an estimated ROAS of about 6-10x then this equates to advertisers seeing a $60B to $100B reduction in sales via Facebook. Many of these advertises will not be moving this budget elsewhere, they will just be seeing reduced sales.

So, I'm all for criticism of online advertising ethics, particularly targeted at Facebook. But please remember they are an important part of the larger online economy which supports business that employ people. Please remember the people at the bottom of the chain here who have (and will continue to) seen a material impact on their business, income or employment due to these (and the inevitable further) changes.

To believe there is complete consensus between experts is a similar conspiracy theory.

People don't get vaccinated for different reasons and one very sensible on is not to make yourself a subject to "science". Because that does not exist and even statements from scientists need scrutiny, their work even depends on it. Any serious scientist will confirm that for you.

One of the appeals behind Ansible is its "agentless" workflow. The couple of minutes you lose waiting on execution time is nothing compared to the amount of man hours saved installing and maintaining agents on all your remote systems. When used properly, it also maintains idempotence, meaning, all subsequent runs of your playbooks should not do anything different. Each execution should have the same results and it should not cause configuration drift.

I made a career out of shell scripting and learned most automation scripts are not written with the rigor other software is. Most shell scripts written by my peers would not pass a legitimate code review. Things like input validation, error handling and such are not typically considered by sysadmins writing automation scripts.

Tools like Ansible have these patterns built-in already, for the most part.

No, but they consider a mortgage on a rental property with a signed lease separately from a mortgage on a primary/secondary residence.

> At least in London, this has been a problem for 20-30 years. For most young people, buying a house is becoming an impossibility.

The real problem is that 70% of what we call London is square kilometres of single family homes, with not even a church within a 5km radius. This creates both scarcity of houses and overcrowding of the few areas worth visiting. A more European zoning system, with 4-5 storey buildings with stores on the ground floor, would greatly improve the lives of many. Now you either live in zones 1-2 (plus some exceptions) or you live in a non-place where the only thing that matters is the tube stop, if there is one.
Uh ... Your dkim settings are for your recipients to validate your emails.

You should ALSO be checking dkim signatures on incoming e-mails (opendkim does that IIRC).

Also, I forgot to mention that I REQUIRE tls for incoming smtp connection. That's another thing rising the bar for spammers.

If you're using postfix, it's very open by default, in the sense that it doest not come with spf and/or dkim/dmarc tooling and it's not going to, for example, require (or even allow) ssl/tls for incoming smtp connections (and won't use it for outgoing smtp connection).

One last thing: a little bit of spam leaks trough... But it's like less than a single spam email per two weeks.

Fantastic. The next step is to create a declarative query model using CSS, complete with the built in CSS selector model. (Eg. if a div of class .a is inside a div of class .b, all the query parameters of .b get applied to .a). Then someone can create a Tailwind-like utility library for that and we're back to SQL

Noted. I'll incorporate this feedback in the next edition (circa end 2022 or early 2023).

The large month to month swings are because the Australian labour market isn't so big, so even a single employer's hiring spree can significantly affect the number of listings in a given month. There are seasonal effects in there too of course. It's volatile data.

Having purchased a multifamily recently I can confirm all of these are true.

I bought during the plummeting urban Covid rents. When looking for my mortgage a few banks told me their underwriters were temporarily directed to ignore all building income toward qualification.

I worked with a good mortgage broker and he had the option of 20+ banks that were happy to write a conventional loan using a ratio of the building’s income counting toward my qualification. I believe it was 80%.

Re: cash flow, I live in half the building, at current rents the two tenants pay 84% of the mortgage tax and insurance. The tax write offs more than make up for the rest.
Something the IQ measurement is actually kind of helpful for is being able to tell if a person is likely to be able to mentally model, understand the abstract and hypotheticals, or empathize intellectually with others.

If you can model what someone else may think, what someone else thinks someone else may think, or understand "what ifs", your IQ will almost certainly measure higher than 80. An example of the opposite is asking, "had you done this instead, what would have happened?" and receiving a response like "that's not what I did".

I have encountered people in functional corporate roles whose ability to grasp beyond what is directly in front of them was exactly why they held their positions. They were highly competitive of and motivated by metrics, no longer or unable to see how things done differently might produce different results ("that's not how we do it"), and generally didn't have a grasp of how their or their department's work fit into the company - they just knew it did. However, they often had a few great interpersonal qualities, like projecting confidence or leadership, patience and self-control in arguments, not easily being flustered or becoming nervous, or having a consistently positive demeanor.

When I think about privilege and justice, I include the existence of people different from me, which means I have to be aware of and understand who they are and what they are like. There's more than one right way to be or live, and it often comes as a shock to some that their communities, classes, and societies are so effective at insulating them from what people different from them are like, only highlighting simple, shallow, or visual differences instead.

My takeaway is that if the number of people this was helpful to was a surprise, your standard of common is too narrow.

This gives me an odd feeling.

They seem to spend a lot of time undermining confidence in fact checkers, to then concede, nearer the end that you have to check facts as part of their new better approach.

The fact checkers I would reference, already do these things, so I don't really see what is being added here except some emotive language that seems to be saying "well, you can prove anything with facts" which feels like it's going in the wrong direction.

Reading all the other comments, there's a strong vibe of "see, I told you I was right to ignore factcheckers".
I'm happy owner of two Turris Omnias for 2 years (I use them to interconnect my appartments in two distinct cities into the single LAN, via OpenVPN).

I highly recommend this router. A bit pricey, but it is worth every penny.

Ability to install run arbitrary software is incredible (not only from packages, configure/make/make install works too!). I run openvpn (see above), dnscrypt-proxy, aws cli tools (for dynamic DNS updates), influxdb, grafana, microsocks SOCKS5 proxy (for filtering out Windows 10 updates and telemetry traffic, but letting Firefox/FoxyProxy to access the internet), vlmcsd, transmission, ffmpeg (for storing video surveillance data), nextcloud and many other software on my router.

BTRFS-backed snapshots (both for base system and for LXC containers) provide an ability for instant rollback if router is misconfigured or something else (e.g. software update) goes wrong.

Both my Omnias were upgraded with LTE cards for backup connectivity (Quectel EC25-E and Quectel EP06-E). One Omnia has 1Tb mSATA SSD installed instead of stock 5 GHz WiFi card. Another Omnia has two 8Tb USB HDDs attached via external USB 3.0 hub.

Initially there were some WiFi signal quality issues which I solved by wrapping both WiFi cards in an aluminium foil:
https://forum.turris.cz/t/wlan-5g-not-starting-most-of-the-t...

Omnia is a kind of hardware which puts user in control (which is an extremely rare quality in the modern world).

> This tells me that home seekers should be making offers to landlords rather than wasting their time making cold offers for people's primary residence.

I don’t think so as landlords are locked into a 3% fixed mortgage and have a profitable income stream.

Unless there’s some life event that requires them to sell, landlords are less likely to sell than regular homeowners.

I wonder if this has to do with US/other country regulations on what is allowed?

Not sure where you’re from, given the 1.8M reviews I’m assuming US. In the Dutch app store, the TicketMaster has a 1.7 based on 171 reviews. 171 reviews seems low since TicketMaster is also the biggest company selling tickets here.

So then I imagine the count is based on the reviews since the last rating reset.
