These laws are hard to get actually correct. The major problem is court delays. There is a very high bar for kicking someone out before they get their day in court about whether it is fair to do so. This seems eminently reasonable but there is also a severe shortage of judicial services that result in court dates over a year out to resolve such issues. In that year of time, it's quite possible for a tenant with maybe $5K to their name to accumulate $500K in damages and debts. For many such tenants it is a cost they could never repay in their lifetimes which means even if the landlord gets the desired verdict they'll never see the capital they wanted.

I agree there are places in the world that are so biased against landlords that they don't even try to get this problem correct but I think for many cases the problem isn't bad laws but rather the delays to being able to execute reasonable actions to limit damages. I'm not sure what a good solution is for many cases because I think it would take fairly extreme evidence to kick someone out without their day in court if they decided to fight it. I do agree with landlords it should be easier to kick someone out if they stop paying rent and that fact is adequately documented. I mean stop paying rent in the sense of an appropriate pattern not a single late payment.
WireGuard is much much more secure than algo. Stay away from IPSEC: it's a very complex protocol and implementations have vulnerabilities as a consequence.
Sounds like those places need a land value tax, too.

> there are a huge number of people who have thrown absolutely everything into owning a home

I don't know what the situation is like in the UK, but here in Austria banks are really really eager to give people as much money as they'll take.

Getting a mortage that runs 30 years? Sure thing! Why not make it 35 years? 60% of your paycheck goes into mortage? Why not? You have less than 10% of the required amount in cash? Who cares!

The people who are buying homes right now are getting into massive debt, with variable interest rates. If interest rates rise, a lot of home owners won't be able to pay their mortages anymore, and they won't be able to sell because the only reason people can afford these crazy mortages is because the interest rates are so low. It looks like a bubble to me, and the only thing that's redeeming to me is that everyone has an interest in keeping the bubble going.
One trick they use in my country is adding a pool to apartment buildings.

The pools are unused most of the time, but having a pool in the building increases the value estimated by property appraisals' checklists.
> prefer to keep their condos/houses empty rather than rent them out at market rate because of 100% tenant friendly city and state laws. Someone can move in and refuse to pay rent, refuse to leave, use your house as a drug den, destroy your property and lots more, and you can do nothing about it.

I'm in this situation right now. The only way I'll rent it out is if I personally know the tenant and their personal character. Otherwise, I'd rather leave the property empty. I didn't buy it as a rental, rather I paid off my primary residence and then had to move, so just kept it. I don't want to go outside the law, but that would be my only option as a landlord if someone tried to abuse me/my property, since the law offers me no meaningful protection. To avoid that liability, I simply don't rent.

It can't go from zero to stable overnight. It has to start somewhere and gain stability over a long period of time.

You're behaving like a troll. There is an absolutely obvious objection to your prior sentence, but rather than see that, you pretend like it isn't the case, and attack me personally. You don't know me and you don't know my thinking.

You're also behaving as a troll because you've totally changed the topic instead of answering my direct objections to your prior comments.

I'm done talking to you. I assume your next comment will also be trollish, and I hope people see through it. But please just don't answer.
The important aspects of agriculture were mechanized/automated decades ago. There's a lot of room for growth in Africa[1] just by taking tech that's old but works and using it there. If it has to be marketed as SV style entrepreneurship that's fine, but I doubt any of the tech layered on top will be a real driver of productivity.

[1]: The caveat is that heavy mechanization is capital intensive and since labor costs are lower in Africa the optimal mix of mechanization will be different than in the US. It also leads to centralization and larger farms which is sometimes undesirable for political/cultural reasons.
This is a good question. I am long on some company figuring out how to really streamline the home buying/selling process. Everyone dreads it, nothing worse than trying to buy or sell a home. These companies could be great buffers allowing the quick sale/buying of a home with minimal overhead. There is definitely a market for providing 'peace of mind' and the guarantee of not being screwed which today there is a high probability of from all angles.

Hopefully Opendoor can figure it out. They're probably going to need a lot of cash, homes, and software to really put it together into something that can be automated and scale.
I'm curious what benefits you see something like this offering over a more "full-fledged" collaborative trip-planning solution like https://wanderlog.com/? The benefits of a full-featured travel-planner outweigh a calendar, especially when it does things like automatically calculate the driving time between stops. Other travel partners can "like" things, create new "lists" for whatever ("possible hotels", "restaurants", "attractions", etc.) and then drag them down to specific days. And you can "share a link" to the trip for others to just view, or invite others to collaborate...

I particularly like that it brings up what Russia has promised to citizens if they submit, as if it didn't promise, repeatedly, that it wasn't going to invade (both immediately before the 2022 escalation, and in binding treaties that were in place at the time of the initial 2014 invasion.) Russias promises are worth less than nothing, at this point.
If you look closely at the pic I'm actually using those as well (along with the palm rests). The tenting legs sort of "set" into the blocks and it's very stable.
Just listen to what they have to say and evaluate if it's a good idea. If it is not a good idea, it is not constructive, or not actionable, or if it is not a priority you can voice that opinion.

It is called critical thinking, collaboration and professionalism.

Isolating a new person for having a good idea is being unprofessional and passive aggressive. Using your numbers to psychologically abuse a person just for having a good idea sounds more like prison culture than a real engineering organization.

It also creates a culture of mediocrity which scares away talent, and a breeding ground for psychopathy.

Just do your job, which is to solve problems, not creating new ones. Focus on the problem to be solved.

I'm sure it was idle or just heavily lowered, but people dug around and found reports on old internet boards about time frame seeing him do it from the same timeframe and location.

If he never did it he pranked/lied about doing the prank and that is no better for credibility.
Hey - thanks for responding.

I think it was this HN discussion[1] of housing prices that led me to wonder about this; I considered commenting there but it could've seemed like an obscure tangent.

It seems unsustainable societally for housing prices to continue to rise long-term, and I'm wondering if there is a way to graphically represent the state of the market and the players involved, in order to first of all understand the situation, and then to communicate what is going on to a variety of different audiences.

> Tobacco and junk food are big targets for the "protect us from ourselves" crowd who think they should dictate values to other people.

It is insane that a minor is allowed to buy or consume junk food in an institution (a school) that’s supposed to look after them. Food served in schools should be selected by a professional, such as a dietician. It should not be possible for a child to eat hamburgers or jacket potatoes or fries, first of all because we should not poison them and second because part of their education should include teaching them how to eat properly.

There have been a few search engines out recently. I'm curious how people evaluate them quickly.

I've realized my searching is basically optimized for google and the web that has grown up around it. Also, in 1998 I wasn't as aware of what was out there as I am now. It's pretty rare (even if its possible) that I do a search and come across a completely new site that I haven't heard of before, for anything nontrivial. That was different when search began.

Google is now almost a convenience. If I have a coding question, I search for "turn list of tensors into tensor" or whatever but I'm really looking for SO or the pytorch documentation, and I'll ignore the geeksforgeeks and other seo spam that finds it's way it. It's almost like google is a statistical "portal" page, like Yahoo or one of those old cluttered sites were, that lets me quickly get through the menus by just searching. That's different from a blank slate search like we might have done 25 years ago.

I think what's really lacking now is uncorrupted search for anything that can be monetized. Like I tried to search for a frying pan once on google and it was unusable. I'm not sure any better search engine can fix that, that's why everyone appends "reddit" to queries they are looking for a real opinion on, again, because they are optimizing for the current state of the web.

Anyway, all that to say I think there are a lot of problems with (google dominated) search, but they are basically reflected in the current web overall, so just a better search engine, outside of stripping out the ads, can only do so much. Real improved search efforts need to somehow change the content that's out there at the same time as they improve they experience, and let us know how to, in a simple way, get the most out of it. I think google has a much deeper moat than most people realize

> You can also use an in-service distribution to move after-tax 401(k) contributions into your Roth IRA, the so-called Mega Backdoor Roth

Most companies don’t let you do that directly. Mine allows “after tax contributions” up to 10% of base. Not to be confused with a Roth 401K.
Right, so you are perfectly fine with allowing deliberate disinformation campaigns to run rampant even when they literally kill people, and backing it up with nothing at all.

And not even seeking a solution.

Got it

Are you also against regulating speech that amounts to yelling "FIRE!!" in a crowded theater and/or inciting a riot or insurrection?

I could also say 'fine, if intentional disinformation kills people, that's fine, let them go at it, it is just a stupidity tax'

Except I also understand the value of a society that is at least minimally cohesive and retains a stably democratic (small-d) foundation, and see the hard evidence that active disinformation amplified by mass media, especially interactive mass media can completely undermine that, and is literally a direct threat to democracy.

I'm interested in finding a solution and it will need to be more refined than a simple absolutist edict written centuries before mass media and interactive mass media were invented.
The crazy thing is they actually 100% hold this data. Literally adding a few lines to the tag would solve this. I worked in a meat packing plant during summers in college and they would use rfid tags to scan everything in and out. The whole supply chain including down to which truck it was specifically transported on is there.
Much of the history of computing is edge-triggered signalling. You instruct the computer to copy a file by signalling a mousedown in one place, dragging your file (a stream of movement signals), and mouse-uping. These events are processed online and you have your output then you are done. The computer keeps no memory of what you or it did, the system is just in a new state, by you having performed this operation with the os tools.

Kubernetes is level-triggered. If you could say that you want a certain file in a certain spot, the computer might be able to have choices for how to make it so. Maybe it looks in other directories. Maybe it downloads it via http or bittorrent. Maybe it scans your archives. If the hard drive dies, it can reget the file. If your sibling deletes the file, the computer can rebuild it. There's snapshotting policies it can setup on your behalf to help. There's records about how & where & when it pulled the file in from.

This is all an elaboration on autonomic processes, on Kubernetes maintaining state for you, letting it do the operations to give you what you asked for. It detects when the level is not right/monitors itself, & detects when it needs to trigger (level triggered) control. it has it's own toolkits to do the work for you, and you are merely registering your ask.

yes you might not fully understand the tool you are using & the full depth of a file system, but even as an end user you are doing the work in tbe conventional macOS model. abstracting the work away from the user, & using a general repeatable practice for declaring your intent (manifests) frees you from having to learn a panolopy of tools & systems, each unique an different (confinung ourselves just to this one example, a file manager, a web browser, a bittorrent client, a usenet client, a snapshot tool, file search system).

and it maintains itself, keeps working, consistently & with explanation, where-as most computers defy explanation: what scripts have been run, what the history is is unknown. by making a compact - letting the machine do the the work instead of us doing it- we have central bookkeeping of what our system really is, radically reshaping the clarity of what we have & what's going on.

these skills being portable across problem domains is a third ultra-strong benefit. almost all aspects of the world get maintained via manifests. learning something new looks similar to & used many of the same tools as what you did to setup the last tbing. this is not really an autonomic benefit, byt is a huge part of the win.

generalized autonomic system is a huge improvement versus shepparding our individual systems carefully forward.

I would say its more akin to sneakerheads.

1. Its about the interface between your feet/hands and travelling across their respective landscapes.

2. Different shoes/keyboards lets to travel with differing levels of comfort.

Sure you dont need a pair of nikes to run, and you don't necessarily need a separate pair of shoes for the winter, or for that matter roller-shoes, but they certainly make travelling across the landscape significantly more comfortable (or just different) for various uses. More than just that, people who love to buy shoes love to buy shoes of varying types even if they don't necessarily need it.

Keep in mind, programmers are only one class of people who travel across the digital landscape.
Ehh there's probably strong criticisms to be made of Prof. Sunstein along the lines made here, but this article is at various points conclusory, glib, and shallow.

For example, "Actually, no, their study said nothing at all about doctors, accountants, or architects. They just made that part up to make it sound more relevant."

Yes, they want to tell people why the research might be relevant or interesting. The quoted portion of the article says "Our study . . . found that knowing about people’s political beliefs did interfere with the ability to assess those people’s expertise in other, unrelated domains." Sounds to me like the article merely seeks to show a general point. Who cares whether it deals specifically with things that were mentioned to provide some context as to why anyone should care? This guy is just cherry-picking a quote, taking it out of context, and arguably misrepresenting what the paper even wanted to show.

He wants to nitpick Sunstein, but then expects us to accept his sarcastic quip that Sunstein may not be one of the "the most brilliant minds in American law" even though he's a stats professor and not a law professor? I guess it's fair insofar as Sunstein is a law prof who is leveraging stats and behavioral economics in a way a lot of experts in that field apparently don't like, but I don't find this guy's argument helped by this kind of sophomoric statement.

It's not only getting into NFTs, it takes vision to time the buys and sells, just like the stock market. Right now the crypto ecology looks very iffy because most of the profit seems to come from speculation, and the best deals are suspiciously similar to insider trading.
I agree with almost everything you said.

But fyi, the only reason hezbollah exists is because Israel occupied south lebanon for 20 years. They and other resistance group took all the help they can get to eventually get rid of the occupiers.

Google has necessarily arbitrary criteria by which pages are ranked. Because Google is the game in town, anyone with a primary goal of driving traffic will pursue those metrics (i.e. SEO). To the extent that those criteria deviate even slightly from actual good results, large parts of the internet will dilute their content to pursue them, which both lowers their quality and further drives down the gems of the internet.

The ranking would have to vary over an infinite spread of purposes for webpages, and it would have to converge almost perfectly to what is actually most helpful. Among all the technical problems, Google will not optimize correctly against ads for the same reason that websites trying to drum up affiliate purchases and ad revenue won't put content quality above SEO.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of research done for these kinds of text-based browsers (mostly due to their negligible user base) but I would guess that there could be a possibility to design pages with weird control sequences that trick the underlying renderer (curses etc.) into doing something weird or dangerous.

Kremlin: "There is no war."

Also Kremlin: "Have a shitty deepfake of the Ukranian president urging people to surrender so they don't die in the war we told you doesn't exist."

I don't get what their goal was here. Did they honestly think that was in any way passable enough to convince anyone it was real? If so, they're dumber than I thought (or they think everyone else is dumber than dirt). If not, what was the point? Is this like a double-false-flag thing, where they're going to turn around and say, "Ukraine made this, and now they're blaming it on us! They want us to look inept, see how much they hate us"?

I mean... how many layers of "they don't know we know they know we know they know it's us" are they going to play here?

I am drawing a line between what could still be manufactured if US borders closed today and what couldn’t. Rain comes from water outside the US borders but a war isn’t going to stop rain the way it might stop platinum imports.

Copper can be sourced inside the US, if you didn’t then you have a foreign dependency in your supply chain which is something the DoD actually cares about for obvious reasons.

Any other definition is just meaningless marketing crap like “The Best” which is legally meaningless.
