It might be better to change it to "nano -w" instead; IIRC, some versions of nano hard-wrap lines by default (which corrupts files where line breaks are significant) unless you remember to always use "nano -w".
I did PoC experiments with compression, chunking, and IPFS here: https://github.com/SaveTheRbtz/bazel-cache

I did a cross-country road trip a few months ago (the longest way possible, down the coast and across the south and then back up) from Seattle to Chicago.

Seattle is a total mess as you described. SF too. As I headed east everything seemed pretty normal. St Louis seemed the same as it's ever been. Chicago too.
Regardless of my vehement disagreement with GP, you're attempting an [appeal to authority](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority) which is utterly unconvincing.
Pretty sure @hnburnsy is right. They're not going to spend the resources to track down non-US entities, I would bet a fair amount of money.

This is a pretty shallow dismissal.

The ideas argued against here haven't been popular in the crypto world since ~2018.

Nobody thinks you need a blockchain to sign into a website. When people talk about web3 based decentralized identity, they are usually talking about an identity that is coupled to an on-chain asset (NFT, position in a pool, etc). That does "require" blockchains for the reasons explained in the first few paragraphs of this article.

I put "require" in quotes because you could definitely build this stuff without a blockchain. But nothing like that will ever become widely adopted. It's not about "requiring" a blockchain in the sense of a necessary condition. It's about blockchains enabling things in a way that they are otherwise unlikely to be enabled.
They can't overtreat due to the nature of it with literally all work needing a professor looking at the mouth or the work in progress and validating. If anything they need too much evidence to go forward and will want to see things like a CT to validate something in a traditional xray. When they want to do a certain amount of required things, they screen the local community for cavities and turn up plenty, including mine when I went and they were sure to point out the cavity to me on the imagery and go over my options and relative risks. Most of the times they are overburdened with demand of patients since this is about the only place where low income people can afford dental care so I expect they see plenty of examples to study. Oddly though my student told me he hoards extracted teeth to study and practice with.

Isn't there a lot of Dubbing / ADR in movies by the original actors? Such as when the original audio recording wasn't that great?
Fair point: Erlang wasn't designed as an Actor system. But you don't have to squint that hard to see the similarities. Again quoting wikipedia [0]:

> An actor is a computational entity that, in response to a message it receives, can concurrently:

send a finite number of messages to other actors;
create a finite number of new actors;
designate the behavior to be used for the next message it receives.

> There is no assumed sequence to the above actions and they could be carried out in parallel.

All above are true of Erlang except intra-actor concurrency. Even the last bullet on designating behaviour: An Erlang process (actor equivalent) can decide to use a different function when receiving the next message. It just can't pipeline handling messages.

So Erlang isn't that far removed from the Actor model in its behaviour, even if it wasn't designed as an Actor system in the first place. One might say actors are an (approximate) emergent property of Erlang rather than an intentionally designed one.

Slightly off-topic but the only system I've used that was designed & built from the outset as an actor system is Rosette [1]. It was a really interesting project, and does support pipelining, but has been dormant for more than a decade.

EDIT: clarified that Rosette is the only system I've used that was explicitly based on the Actor model from the outset.
95 million homes total, or available homes? Seems like it would make a difference. That said, I suspect you're right that AirBnB is less responsible for driving up housing prices than, say, the fact that the pace of homebuilding hasn't recovered since 2008.

> I personally haven't seen any problem solved by the blockchain thus far.

I don't know that it counts since it's not a "blockchain" in the sense most people describe it, but Git is sort of "blockchain adjacent." It uses a Merkle tree to maintain a crytographically signed quasi-immutable ledger of transactions.

While it's probably not a "blockchain", I don't think that anyone disputes that Git (and its blockchain-like feature) is useful.

I suspect that this is going to be the "good" that comes from blockchain [1] and its ilk; a lot of interesting uses are going to pop up using blockchain concepts, and it will be cannibalized into something that is indisputably useful.

I agree that there are a lot of crypto idiots who act like all problems will be solved by Bitcoin or Ethereum, and I do think they give the legitimate research being done on blockchain (e.g. the Ouroboros protocol) a bad name.

I mean, if it doesn't count as an implementation of an actor system, then I'm not sure what does, regardless of whether it was incidental to the design goals of Erlang as a language. It certainly walks and quacks like an actor system in my opinion, and I don't think you have to squint very hard at all to see it.

Perhaps we have different ideas of what an "actor system" is though.

> I would really advise against making these kind of comments if you're trying to represent a project or get more funding.

Look, a little snark never hurt anybody.

The fact is that you are being extremely pessimistic about whether this will work at all, when in fact it is already being used "in production," and most of the other things you are saying are not possible or very difficult I have already investigated and made similar assessments to the ones I made before I started this.

So all evidence points to you being largely wrong, and your supreme confidence that you are correct despite all the evidence to the contrary makes it quite attractive to have a bit of fun while trying to demonstrate where you are incorrect.

That's nothing new in open source, or even software development in general, where much worse like actual insults and derogatory comments are much more an unfortunate norm, and toxicity is often the rule of the day. Plenty of stuff that goes on (or at least used to) on the Linux kernel mailing list would get you warned and then banned from Haiku's discussion channels. But at the same time, there is a place for criticism, even strong criticism, in any healthy discourse.
Just wanted to point out that the article you reference says 660k listings in the US, not hosts. I was initially concerned by your wording that the number of properties for rent on Airbnb was much higher (since often hosts have multiple properties, or the host is listed as a management company), but it does seem that 660k is the number of listings.

And I agree with you that number is much lower than I would have expected, and doesn't seem like enough to meaningfully move housing prices overall. Also consider that some number of those listings are people renting out a spare room in their owner-occupied property, which I don't think is fair to count "against" Airbnb; not sure what that number is, though.

It would be interesting to also see more local numbers. Like what percent of units in each of SF, NYC, downtown LA, Chicago, DC, etc. are listed on Airbnb? There are a lot of housing units in small towns and cities across the US that don't have much tourist appeal, so they likely don't see many Airbnb listings. But they also likely don't have housing-cost issues like some cities that are more attractive to tourists.

I think people try to invent complicated reasons for skyrocketing home prices, when it's fairly simple: we aren't building enough in the places where people want to live. Sure, other things (Airbnb, foreign investment[0], cheap credit, etc.) don't help matters, but I think they're pretty minor factors. If there's demand, and you don't meet it, prices go up. Econ 101.

It's interesting to note that Vancouver and Toronto instituted 20% and 15% (respectively) foreign buyer taxes for home purchases a bunch of years ago. These taxes did actually do their job of deterring foreign buyers, but, sadly, home prices still continued to go up, undeterred. And now Canada overall has barred foreign buyers for two years. I doubt it will help. I expect Airbnb bans would have a similar non-effect.

Thanks for creating this proposal! Would love to see it committed upstream. For me it worked just fine -- I'll need to play a bit more with it and maybe put it into a real-world production setup to see how well it preforms on real-world data.
That's primarily linked to commodity/labor prices over the past couple years. And, to some degree because developers know that people buying in Texas have to buy. It's not like they're looking to upgrade from a current residence, they've already moved and have no place to live.

> No, it's not. Garbage collection and reference counting are "automatic memory management.

In strict computer science parlance, refcounting is a kind of GC, but to most people GC refers to "tracing GC" specifically. It's fairly pedantic.

> In a garbage collected language you need to explicitly release your resources.

I assume "resources" here must mean "non-memory resources"? Even still, GC can apply to any kind of resource, it's just most popularly applied to memory (you could have a GC for file handles, for example).

Also, so you know, the user you're replying to knows a thing or two about programming languages.
It’s sad because there’s been so much progress in cryptography over the past 10 years, and now we’re nearing a point where a little imagination would go a long way.
I believe there is better. Applied skills like software development should be taught with hands-on education.

It's no different than becoming an electrician. You don't go to university to learn that. You go to an apprenticeship program.

It is my opinion that computer related trades should follow the format of the more physical trades. ALSO, you typically get PAID for an apprenticeship program. So, my opinion that it is in-fact a better way to learn aside. It's certainly financially superior.
Sure, but too many people take political credit for burying their crap in other's yards.

> As another user mentioned: cash free bail, decriminalizing drugs, those things have little to do with homelessness but do wreck the safety of a city.

It's worth pointing out that even in Western cities plagued by homelessness that crime rates are still pretty low. The crime per capita in Seattle or Portland is still only half that of Nashville. So I don't necessarily see a strong link between being tough on drugs/crime and managing homelessness. I still feel pretty safe in Seattle, but that doesn't change the downtown sucks now.

There's clearly an intersection here between zoning policy, availability of services, and leniency towards crime.

Very cool stuff, my take-away from reading about earlier fungi-base packaging is that it is hard to scale in a cost effective way. I've grown oyster mushroom "leather" which was fun, but took about 6 weeks for a 3" diameter.
I was drafting an extensive response to this, but I am on a time crunch with my work schedule. If you are honestly interested in understand optimal solutions to externalities and handling the problem of social costs, I would recommend checking out Ronald Coase's paper "The Problem of Social Cost" for which he won the Nobel prize.[1]

I will hopefully have time this weekend to draft my response.

The TLDR is that, their "right to noise" impedes upon your "right to silence" but also your "right to silence" impedes upon their "right to noise". Giving either side the complete right and banning the other side is effectively having one force its way upon the other. Forcing silence is by definition an externality as well -- it just happens to be the side you value. But there are better middle ground solutions where we balance the benefits of each side.

A very clean example of this is noise pollution next to an airport. If the houses next to the airport had a complete right to silence then we couldn't have airplanes. But if the airplanes had a complete right to noise, then quality of life around the airport would diminish way too much. Instead, the socially optimal solution lies in the middle. It is why zero pollution is actually NOT socially optimal as the costs of zero pollution are too high.

For each additional decibel produced, the marginal social costs increase at a faster rate. Thus, people whispering at the beach or playing very low music such that it is quickly drowned out by the sound of the waves and the birds after 5 feet of distance is fine.

A blanket ban on all music on the beach doesn't actually enable us to find the socially optimal levels in the same way as a blanket allowance of music on the beach. In the airport example, a blanket ban or allowance would prevent innovations in things like sound protective walls to internalize some (though never all) of the externality.

You can write "complected" monoliths in any language. You can also write SOAs in any language. If you need native performance, Crystal is a better option, as it provides much of the same syntax, semantics, and stdlib as Ruby, but with Strong Typing. Go is a bit too simple.
> Yep, pressing Ctrl-S in a terminal and having it freeze up is extremely confusing at the best of times.

At least some terminals (IIRC, KDE's Konsole is one of them) show a helpful colored bar telling you that the output is paused and you should press Ctrl-Q to resume. Unfortunately, other popular terminals (like Gnome's gnome-terminal) don't have any visible indication for that.

I didn't correctly read your comment sorry. I don't know about the US system, but here the fixes normally do have a lock-in typically on a ratchet system where they are expensive to exit in the early part of the loan and cheaper later. For example one I just checked charges you 5% of the loan to exit any time in the first 5 years and then 3% to exit any time in the next 5 years. There is also a significant discrepancy in the interest rates charged for different term lengths e.g. the offer presented may be 3.7% for a lifetime fix or 2.4% for a 5 year. So you're paying 1.3% extra for the lifetime fix right out of the gate. So the gamble is will 5 year fixes cost more than 3.7% in 5 years time? If not, then you won on the 5 year fix.
