> I'm pretty tired of being scolded for occasionally making one-sentence comments that lack substance

I went through months of your comment history with showdead:true, I could only find a handful of interactions between you and the moderation staff.

The most recent example is about 10 days ago and then one 36 days ago. Both comments were gray from being downvoted and one has been flagged.

There was another one about 40 days ago that had a bit more content to it but was simply you quoting yourself where you call a concept idiotic... on a post that had a pinned comment by Dang that said "If you're going to comment, please focus on specific, interesting things in the article that you're curious about."

Dang exchanged with you politely to explain the issues every times.

What more do you want?

Personally, I know that I don't want to see content such as your "y'all look like a cult" comment. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29864386>

On the contrary, housing is more affordable now than at any time in the last 40 years, except for the period right after the 2008 crash.

Higher prices are more than offset by lower mortgage costs. Money got cheaper faster than housing got more expensive. Most people who are not rich are buying money with a house kicker in 30 years, so the cost of money is the important factor.

My understanding is that japan does have historically protected districts, they call them preservation districts. I think it would be really helpful to have someone actually dive on the details.

Houston does rely on a lot on developers being able to put "deed restrictions" in place, which seems like their free-market/libertarian/state enforced private contracts solution.

I'm not familiar with Japan but their property laws are not unregulated so I think it's worth sussing that out so people can properly back their assertions with arguments and maybe we can derive a defendable % cost impact from zoning laws.
Not really. Sometimes you actually have to understand things. If you're so concerned about your billing, someone on your team should probably invest a freaking hour to understand it. If that can't happen, you are just setting yourself up for failure.

For me, a lot of that came down to making sure every automation I add is usable with the least amount of mental effort. For the longest time I didn't automate much at all and often questioned whether I needed all this or not, then we had a baby.

Now we have a button in his nursery that will dim the lights, start playing white noise on a Google Home speaker, mark the start of a new nap on our Babybuddy instance, then turn off the lights after 30 seconds. When I press it again, it turns off the noise and stops the sleep tracking. If we didn't have Home Assistant we'd have to do all these things manually multiple times a day. Instead it just takes a single button press.

It's a small example, but things like this will keep popping up, and I'm looking forward to making them easier.

The Canadian central bank ended QE overnight with no problem.

The obvious reason they didn't do it is because they knew markets would decline 5-10% on the surprise. Which would actually aid them by curbing risk taking/speculation, raising the cost of borrowing.

I do think Powell is motivated by his reappointment, so that's also playing into his inaction. It's just backfired at this point.

We are clearly entering a wage price spiral. Wages rose an annualized 9% last month. To suggest even a 50 bp hike would put us anywhere close to aggressive tightening is just not true. The traditional thinking is that interest rates must exceed rate of inflation to be in a tightening policy regime.

The Fed pushed job market past the natural rate of unemployment, and now the only way out is a hiking induced recession.

Yet instead of trying to cut off this possibility early, they'll slowly plod along until it's inevitable. There was probably a chance to short circuit the spiral a few months ago.
Still no changes. /dev/urandom will block until first seeded at boot. By the time you can run `dd`, it's seeded, because the system needs to have booted for that.

The cost of raw land may get exponentially more expensive, but the cost of higher density building is at most marginally higher than low density building.

For example 50 story skyscrapers are actually slightly cheaper per square foot than 10 story buildings on a per square foot basis. Without artificial restrictions on density, the cost of housing is essentially invariant to the cost of raw land.

> There are ways to store data securely, one of the simplest methods is to do zero-knowledge encryption of that data by way of key-generation from a password only the user knows at the time of decryption.

This keeps your passwords save until you enter your master password. At that point you have to trust the software that was downloaded a few days ago from an appstore or a few seconds ago from the company webserver. It might have been backdoored and happily phone home your master password.

Your downloaded password manager might be a few years old and YOU decide when to upgrade.

It's become basically impossible to buy a house as a normal person, even on a higher tech salary. In most markets around the US now, the expectation is that buyers will waive inspection requirements, make an offer as all-cash (e.g. pre-approved financing), with no contingencies (e.g. not based on sale of their previous home).

I'm currently trying to buy a different house, my older sister just bought a different farm, we both have had a horrible experience. My sister had multiple properties where her bid was beat out by someone offering $100k+ over ask, all-cash, mostly REITs and other types of corporate investors. This wasn't even in a city (farm obviously). I'm trying to find both a house and a place to rent, because my realtor/broker has advised me that I need to rent for at least a few months while I sell my existing house so I can buy with no contingencies, or I'll never get under contract. I finally found a proper spot for us to rent, was supposed to be available April 1st and was accepting leases starting March 15th according to the listing. Was just informed yesterday that the owner has already got it under application and has four other renters waiting in the wings.

This market is ridiculous if you actually need a place to live, and it's not even a matter of income. I'm in the top 1% of earners overall in the US, and I can't even close the deal on a place to live. I've had my current house for a bit over ten years, and it makes me almost want to give up and not move, although I must for family reasons. When I look into it, most of the properties being swept under me (and others) aren't even being bought by people, they're being bought by REITs or other investment vehicles, mostly by foreign money. You've also got companies like OpenDoor and Zillow scooping even high-earners trying to buy a place to live.
And my point was that Chernobyl was not a reasonable point of comparison as all US power reactors have containment structures to the best of my knowledge.
When you sell a house like this... what do you leave behind and what do you take?

This has increasingly been on my mind. I've no desire to sell soon, but there's a Nest doorbell that is wired in, so it stays. A Nest thermostat, which I could remove but when I got the boiler I chose to not have the control panel extra with timer as I knew I had Nest. Then the lighting, the motion sensors... should I take the few thousand GBP worth of Hue bulbs? That feels like a yes, just put in the cheapest bulbs.

And so it begins... some things stay, some things go, and the tooling is the hardest. This person has touch screen control panels and Home Assistant. Even if you left it behind, you'd need to transfer the knowledge around it too. But remove it, and the house goes beyond dumb in many ways.
Do you have real time priority configured for the Pipewire (and possibly bluetoothd) process? I had annoying stutter issues before setting that up (Gentoo could not do it automatically at the time, but that may have changed).
IMO you need to keep it small and active and if you have old documentation you need to have the courage to delete it, or at least move it to some archived knowledge base that doesn't pollute the search space of whatever you're using.

The way knowledge bases die is they get cluttered up with irrelevant information from years ago which someone wants to cling to because somewhere in the mountains of useless information there might be that one gem which they cannot fathom throwing away, even though they don't know what it is.

There's a really common perceptual distortion here where people dramatically overvalue that one piece of information they might throw away vs. the corrosive effect of all the information which is crap (and the enormous effort required to sift through every single piece of information and one-by-one search for that gem and rescue it rather than just bulk tossing away things that are in areas which never get touched).

Which is not talking about the system which is ten years old which was documented five years ago, which every year is super critical to understand how to maintain it or whatever. But you know where that documentation is at because it saves your ass relatively repetitively. It is everything else that was written 5+ years ago that you've never once looked at which is the problem.
I stand corrected. I guess the problem for this dev was that the reviewer cited copyright, which doesn't apply here, instead of referencing the appropriate rule

You have no idea what you're talking about. The Fed didn't send checks, Congress did. Fed has a dual mandate to curb inflation and maximize employment. They have zero obligation to home buyers or home owners and have never said otherwise. It is entirely up to Congress (and state governments) to manage housing issues. The Fed can't create loans, they can't create housing stock, they can't control supply, they can't control a pandemic, they can't keep investors out of consumer markets. That's all up to legislators. Home prices are rising along with everything else right now and the Fed is almost certainly going to start to tighten very soon, but everything for the past two years and really the past 20 years has been emergency measures against perceived looming disaster. I'd rather deal with high house prices than famine or some other truly existential crisis.

>The cost of solar is now much better than hydrocarbon.

Kind of misleading to make a blanket statement like that since it obviously depends on what you are comparing. Consumer rooftop solar was, is, and will likely continue to be much more expensive than hydrocarbon. Solar at noon in Arizona in July is cheaper. Solar at 3:00 AM in Arizona in July doesn't exist. Solar + storage is right now pretty comparable to hydrocarbon prices.

>We don't have storage because we have not needed storage.

With daily and seasonable variations in demand and the need to shut down plants for maintenance, storage would always have been preferred to having to generally over build and running peaker plants, etc. So if it was cheap or easy, we would have built a lot more of it already. Though grid storage is absolutely needed to scale up intermittent sources.

>...It will take time to build out, but the scale will be astonishing because the demand for it is very predictable and stable.

Hope so.

>...Gates is investing in nukes because it can be very profitable to make them.

That is an uncharitable interpretation.

No that’s the point - there wasn’t evidence that any of 1, 2, or 3 was ever done. Some mime guy puts together a gas sensor and tinyml setup - the kid makes some report on the hypothetical ability to use to diagnose fungal pneumonia in reference to some papers in the literature, but I don’t see actual evidence of an actual experiment.
Yes, ratio math works without the strangeness. Except it's unfortunate that the 3rd harmonic is the fifth letter and the 5th harmonic is the third letter. Coincidentally, from harmonics 7 through 14, the harmonic numbers match the letter-count numbers. That's partly because 7:8 is the beginning of the harmonics being roughly whole-step sized, and 14:15 is where they shift into half-step size.

Some conversations have long lifespans.

Philosophers have been answering, or at least asking, the same questions for centuries and millennia. Technical and scientific questions can span years or decades. Political and social ones, decades and centuries.

No, it's not necessary to drag all of past discourse into each individual conversation. But neither is it reasonable to demand that all discussions die within a few hours, or a day at the outside, on the most perfect text-based global communications platform ever developed.
Just started rewatching the JC catalog last week. The tech seems a bit dated (big cellphones, cars, etc) but the stories generally hold up well (so far, and FWIR). I do wish there was some effort to remaster/restore/polish up the video. What we have (and what I've seen rebroadcast) just looks a bit... washed out.

Also, I watch with headphones on, and it's amazing to me how much food people eat, and how loud they are, in many TV shows. Just went through Blue Murder (also with Caroline Quentin in it) and every episode there's one or two roundtable shots of the group eating... loudly.

But yeah, JC is good, and I'll be watching another one tonight :)

A tax on renting is a tax on low income people (who disproportionately rent rather than own) to the benefit of upper-middle class home owners.

Even at the peak of 2006 era lax underwriting standards only 70% of households were owner occupied. It’s a utopian but naive dream that if somehow we just tax renting enough everyone will magically become a homeowner.

There will always be a segment of the population that needs to rent. Rent taxes will massively drive up their living expenses, and have an at best marginal increase to home ownership rates.

This is likely time biased. Future generations will not be so skewed towards those with degrees, in fact, it may revert slightly, as crushing student debt isn't rewarded for holders of worthless degrees.

He was specifically looking to identify fungal pneumonia not just any old kind of pneumonia.

The linked Wikipedia article indicates mortality in immunocompromised patients can be as high as 90 percent. That sentence fits with my general impression that fungal pneumonia is both real serious shit and also typically found in people with advanced cases of other serious medical problems, like AIDS or cystic fibrosis.

It sounds reasonably plausible to me that it's feasible to detect fungal pneumonia in specific this way with some reasonable confidence level.
