Demand for housing is not artificial merely because it doesn't come from a citizen.

Separately, Canada's population growth rate is the lowest it's been in over a hundred years, and it isn't close. The lower trend continues for decades and decades. The last time the population growth rate was increasing was in the 1950s. So this is a very strange argument to make.
Makes sense when talking about edge functions, but then OP started talking about Kubernetes. Our Kubernetes workloads don't resemble that at all; there's virtually none of that container startup/shutdown overhead to be concerned about. Most weeks, no containers are started or stopped at all.
If the diagnosis is that a lot of people are buying something at exorbitant prices, shouldn't the prescription be to build more of them to sell?
In philosophy, there's a concept called the "burden of proof", which basically says "a positive claim must be supported, a negative claim can be assumed". This is because, to simplify the formal logic quite a bit, it's logically inconsistent for everything to be true, but not inconsistent for everything to be false. Therefore, if the truth is unknown, it can be assumed to be nonexistent until further evidence arises.

In science, this burden of proof idea is called the null hypothesis: we assume nothing is true, and look for experimental evidence to "reject the null hypothesis" -- that is, we assume a positive claim is not true until we find evidence that it is. There's a fairly straightforward inductive syllogism for why that approach is the most reasonable, which I'll leave out here (unless you'd like me to outline it?) for brevity.

Therefore, Tarot, ghosts, an afterlife, psychics, etc. are all subject to the same burden of proof / null hypothesis rejection process as any other positive claims: until there's empirical, reproducible evidence supporting them, we must assume they are not true. And after centuries of asking for (and looking for) evidence, and even a long-standing million dollar prize for any that can be found, all we've ever had in that regard is... personal anecdotes and deeply-held beliefs. Neither of which constitute objective evidence, and neither of which manage to be consistently reproducible.

So the null hypothesis stands: they aren't real, and I genuinely invite anyone to find the evidence to reject that assumption, as long as the evidence they find is logically consistent, objective, and reproducible without confounding factors (i.e. if such evidence can only be reproduced while someone is on hallucinogenics, or while someone is in a house with a carbon monoxide leak, or while other factors could more plausibly explain the results, or...)

Google Docs isn't a monopoly, and you're betraying your bias in your criticism by pushing that narrative.
Only non-artists say this. Every graphic designer I know thinks this is great.
A key point is that people buying for investment are less sensitive to driving the prices up-- so long as they're sustained. If you have enough wealth that you would be buying multiple properties anyways, buying fewer more expensive places just lowers your transaction costs. As such, they likely have an outsized effect on driving up prices.

I'm dubious that Canada's policy will achieve that, as I understand it they exempt purchases by foreign students which is already a major avenue for foreign investment property purchases. If they limited resident aliens to a single piece of property which they also lived in, that would be something but my understanding is that they don't.

There is plenty of cheap, available housing in the hinterlands of Canada. And yet, nobody wants to move there. Why do you think that is? Prime locations are scarce no matter how much land mass you have.

It's hard to find information on. The company used to be called "Arbitron" and they filed several patents on the technology, which is where I did most of my research.

There are 10 bands, each of which can carry 1 of 18 tones. 16 tones are to signal, so the stream is 4 bits wide, and the other two tones are used as a "STOP" and "SYNC" marker in the data stream.

All bands carry identical information, but each bit within a band is encoded with a different tone than any other band. So, it appears random or uncorrelated at first glance, but you can see the pattern pretty quickly if you do a long enough analysis. The same message gets identically repeated 12 to 13 times per minute and the message only changes once per minute. Here's an example isolation of the signal [1].

The coder monitors incoming audio and does a psychoacoustic pass to determine which level the tones should be injected at. If it can't find a good level for a tone, it uses the lowest possible level... which usually works out fine due to the 10 redundant signals in the watermark.

Encoders like MP3 see the injected tones as signal and will make the bits available to ensure they're encoded rather than correctly masking them out as non-audible material. The 10 bands help here as well, as even if the encoder fails to code the signal in one band, there's usually enough redundant bands that you can successfully decode the watermark.

Population cannot grow without limit, no matter what "everything" Canadians have to pay for. Sooner or later, we will have to learn to live with a stable population. Many industrialized countries have already done so - Japan, China, South Korea, eastern Europe.. By any sane environmental standard, there is already too many of us*, so sooner would be better.

*Yes, if we changed our lifestyles to reduce consumption, we could fit more people in - but until we do so, we should stop adding to the population.
This is small educational game I made in TS and the Blockly editor for Makecode Arcade. It runs in the browser emulator and can be edited there, too. It also runs on real hardware devices and that's really fun to have in your hand -- a game you wrote.

Animals drop from the sky with numbers and equation operators. You must arrange the characters to make a valid math expression. The most fun part was the "solver" which rearranges the animals for you to make the math right.

Hope this inspires someone else to code a game of any kind. I've done some since then, too, on other platforms.

I work at Netlify on framework integrations. Next has beta support for running the whole app at the edge, and Netlify supports that. If you create you own custom edge functions they will run first, so you can do just that. You can also run Next "normally" (i.e. in the node-based Netlify Functions) and run your own edge functions in front of that. In those you can modify the Request in any way you'd like, before passing it on to the origin.
A Data-Driven Approach to Determine When to Run Your Dishwasher
Depending on how much water these boilers are supposed to heat, £10k still sounds a little high.

The most economical solution for smaller houses is typically: air-to-air heat pump for indoor room temperature, and exhaust-air-to-water for warm tap water.

For larger water heaters, end consumer products might not be commonly available so prices might be much higher, idk. If the boilers are used for circulating water radiators, then that requires larger heat pumps for which £10k is reasonable, but air-to-air is typically more economical. I think part of the reason is the temperature-delta is much higher with water radiators which makes the pump less efficient.
This role pays around 170-190k
What is "any language" these days? I feel like WebAssembly's day will come when one of those is Javascript, and so far that hasn't happened.

Go's support is pretty good (with tinygo offering a tiny runtime more suited to this application). Rust appears to support compiling directly to WebAssembly, and there are some smaller languages like AssemblyScript and Lua with support. I'm guessing plain C works fine. Then there are projects that compile the runtime for interpreted languages to WebAssembly, so you can theoretically run things like Python.

Nobody is writing applications in C or AssemblyScript, so that leaves rust or go. If you're using one of those languages, though, you can just (cross-)compile a binary and copy it to a VM that is on some cloud provider's free tier, so this isn't really easing any deployment woes. It was already as easy with native code, so WebAssembly isn't adding much stuff here. (The isolation aspect was interesting in the days before Firecracker, but now every computer has hardware virtualization extensions and so you can safely run untrusted native code in a VM at native speeds.)

Anyway, I always wanted WebAssembly for two things: 1) To compile my React apps to a single binary. 2) To use as a plugin system for third-party apps (so I don't have to recompile Nginx to have OpenTracing support, for example). The language support hasn't really enabled either, so I'm a little disappointed. (Disappointed isn't really fair. I've invested no effort in this, and I can't be disappointed that someone didn't make a really complicated thing for me for free. But you know what I mean.)

I appreciate this respectful, thorough, evidence-backed response to criticism that makes claims you dispute. It's so rare on HN and the wider world.
Neither of those terms carries an implication that the person is the lessor of a rented property, as opposed to an owner/occupier.
It's more a place to store value - they aren't looking for a return on it per se. It also adds complexity tax wise. If you have a lot of money in a jurisdiction where it could "disappear", just dumping it in real estate in a safe jurisdiction is attractive.
On the other hand, if something is unknown, you can either believe it's true or you can believe it's false. If you believe things are true before having any real evidence, then you open yourself to a literal infinity of internally contradictory beliefs. If you instead assume nothing is true until there's evidence, then you do not invite any internally contradictory beliefs.
Good point. It also sounds better to build it in than having a browser extension for it.
In the real world! There's enough rich people in the world, that some of them send their kids to Canada for school. And some of them buy houses.

This is a very weird and directionless interview. The interviewer seems to talk more than the interviewee - but the core seems to be here:

> In the global sense, Chinese manufacturers were flooding the market with big panels because they have a lot of Gen 10.5 — or maybe even a Gen 11 — fabs coming on stream. A lot of those products were shipped based on tremendous amounts of support and subsidies within mainland China. Even the Foxconn fab in southern China had a tough time competing.

> The business environment and investment climate changed a lot in Wisconsin, partly because we did have a change of leadership within the governor’s mansion. That is not the entire reason, but it is a big chunk of it. If you remember, there were a lot of collaborations between Governor Walker and the administration with the company called Foxconn.

TL;DR: Wisconsin couldn't outspend and out-currency-manipulate China to subsidize manufacturing, and a signed deal means nothing if no one wants to go through with it.

The Chicago bureau chief being off by 6% in a tweet is an example of "exceedingly, horrendously, tragically bad?" The story clearly says "because of Covid."

Assuming you don't own in a high cost of living area you may have waited too long. I live in one of the highest cost of living areas. My assumption was I'd end up moving and be able to buy with cash in a semi desirable area in a low cost medium size city.

It is cheaper for sure, but it's not quite as I expected. Most of the desirable homes have doubled or tripled since 2020. They are still under a $1 million and usually have quite a bit more land, but most medium size cities have seen huge increases in housing costs and rent.
Tokyo is the farthest possible away you can get from a favela.
That's true, but it's generally people from LA, Toronto, and NYC that really have a problem. They are massive metropolises. Extremely high demand and very little undeveloped land. Supply and demand. For everywhere else that isn't adjacent to a megalopolis, I think the housing "crisis" is massively overstated.

Inability to coordinate due to lack of information allows the seller to maintain full control of the process.

Also, depending on a locale those exact words have active and totally unrelated meanings. (cigarettes and weird).

Landlord, landlady, I mean, that's ridiculous. Google and all other language activists will have to deconstruct all languages and purge them of historical artifacts that get in the way --all languages contain these things.

I suppose they can slowly replace everyone's languages with a single universal synthetic language like Esperanto but one that's further purified and also controlled by an Academy that ensures meanings remain static and don't deviate from official definitions and uses.
> A culture that abhors second hand housing (so structures don't appreciate like land does). Housing that depreciates is no longer a sound investment.

If you want a house that depreciates faster, manufactured homes are an option. It's not at all obvious to me though that a structure that depreciates faster will necessarily be more affordable than a traditional house that has been properly maintained. Even if it is, building a new home every N years will almost certainly consume more resources over the medium to long term.

Fish didn’t have a TOS that I’m aware of. Spotify does.
Exactly! I'm probably commenting more deeply in this thread than is helpful, but my wife is a successful composer and DIY just. doesn't. scale. Even if you're not just coasting on some variation of financial inheritance, you can absolutely hustle - and if you get to a certain level of popularity, before you know it, you're spending most of your week answering emails and phone calls. For my wife, it was the pandemic, of all things, that pulled her out of this problem, because she got a PPP loan from the federal government, which gave her enough margin to finally hire a part-time personal assistant. Which in turn helped her get even more work. It's been real wild to watch.

I still think that if you scramble, you should take on as much work as you (or your group) can handle DIY, so that you have leverage when the publishers and the record labels start paying attention. But if you want to be able to continue to make music after seeing some of that success, you'll start to understand why 'the industry' exists.
