Mozilla doesn't even want to give add-ons some sort of file system access API (which means that since the switch to webextensions, mass downloaders/download managers have become rather gimped and cannnot download files to outside of the system download folder without prompting for each individual download, can't intelligently handle conflicts between new downloads and already existing files [1], etc. etc.), so I wouldn't hold my breath for them allowing such an API for websites in general…

[1] With the Webextensions API, you have to decide on an action before starting the download, and the only choices are "overwrite", "rename the new download" or "prompt the user". There's no "skip the download" option for example, and Firefox doesn't even support the "prompt the user" option, either.
Most of your suggestions would cause other problems. The root of the current situation is seemingly a lack of supply which in turn is mostly due to government regulations.

For instance, here in Sweden, it's very bizarre since we very much don't lack land suitable for new homes. Nimby regulations together with construction laws have however created a situation where prices for new homes have skyrocketed. Demand is overshooting supply by a lot (for the last decades), when there is nothing but government regulations keeping the market from beeing able to supply this demand.
> They just weren’t liquid like other AAA assets (namely, Treasuries) in a crisis.

Yes. I think that a big contributor to the crisis was that everyone knew that there was some loss on under-water-real-estate, but due to the complicated nature of the traded products nobody knew where those losses would manifest, and thus trust collapsed across the board.
Maybe a naive question, but if people are not allowed to own more than 1 house, who are people renting from?
Yes, they "should" have. But they aren't. The average first-time buyer in the UK is now about 32-34 years old, and it's worse in places like London.

The correctness of the historical record is consensus driven since none of us were there; those experts had people around them providing signal through the noise. The outcome runs contrary to past story but achieving the outcome relies on consensus the new work was viable as a replacement.

Einstein did not start by defining numbers himself. He relied on consensus that our number system to that point was correct.

If you have some fancy notion that’s contrary to one that exists, do share. But also consider it’s consensus based social truth to even allow such ideation rather than subjugate everyone in to the mines.

It’s consensus that gives rise to big rockets and internet.

No hermit of a mountain man has ever changed the world. There was always consensus such efforts be enabled.

> * banks should be banned from requiring deposits - this is just a means of keeping house ownership for rich people, so it should be banned

Woh woh woh! Deposits are not a mechanism to ensure house ownership is for the rich. Lending without requiring a deposit is known as irresponsible and/or predatory lending for good reason!

If people can't save a 10% deposit, then they absolutely cannot afford the loan repayments. Locking people into a loan they can't afford is a great way to push people into poverty. Additionally, it leads to people defaulting on loans, without a deposit and/or lender's insurance to protect the bank, then in a market with lots of borrowers defaulting, the bank needs to sell properties at a loss - and well, hello, GFC.

And a follow up note:

You'll hear people saying "the solution to the housing crisis is supply - building more houses will fix it!"

Who says this? Property developers and real estate agents.

"increasing supply" just means more money to property developers and real estate agents at sky high prices to investors who will rent them out.

Remember when you hear politicians talking about solving it by saying they'll "solve supply" and "build more houses" - that's the property developer lobby talking about their own interests.

"Supply is a lie". It's a beautiful lie because it conveniently gives the rich investors/real estate agents and property developers something to tell the government to do, that appears to "solve the problem", but in fact just serves their own interests. Supply is indeed the perfect lie. Very much like how the packaging industry tell us to recycle so we don't notice the vast waste they produce.
What do you mean? HN can have pretty meaningful discussions around this topic. It's rather bizarre that you'd need a safer space than Hacker News to discuss these innovations, there is no punishment (except losing some internet points if downvoted), the worst thing that happens around here for the crypto community is getting sceptics asking some deeper and/or harder questions.

I watch a lot of ATC videos on YouTube and these low passes happen a lot in emergency situations. The two scenarios I've seen are:

1) Pilot thinks there may be damage/malfunction and does a low pass so that the Tower/Ground Ops staff can have a look. This was evident in a recent one I saw where the pilot had a nose gear fault. It took two passes, but they were able to confirm that the nose gear was NOT down and were still able to have a successful landing.

2) Student pilot either has mechanical issue or in-plane pilot becomes incapacitated. Tower/remote instructor tells student to do multiple low, slow passes at increasingly lower altitudes and speeds to get used to taking the proper heading and control inputs until the final pass is so low/slow that the landing essentially happens naturally.

I'd be flabbergasted if the FAA bans this type of thing, in both of these cases I personally saw (and I'm sure many others), this procedure saved lives. Why would they ban this?

lpClass most likely is a class name in COM/OLE sense.

— A lot of WIN32.HLP articles from the 3.x to 9x transition era talk about “registration database”, which seems to be the original name for registry.

https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_KB_Arch...

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/registration?view=m...

> RegEdit merges the contents of the .reg text file into the registration database.

— HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is the lowest defined numerical constant, maybe it was the first one.

— RegSetValue() only handles REG_SZ (string) values.

— REG_SZ is the default format for new and empty registry keys.

— System data about components stored in {CLSID} branches all use short REG_SZ values for everything: numbers, lists ("8,PBrush"). This is in line with handling such values in INI files, short string “verbs” and class names in ShellExecuteEx() (notice that the registry key can be used to define an object class — was it initially supposed that any registry key corresponded to some class in some hierarchy?), text messages in DDE, etc.

— Finally, Wikipedia (ooh) says that the registry started as component registration database. So maybe the point of lpClass was tagging the branches that belonged to this or that class, or preventing components from messing with each other's data…

I believe that some team created a nice, compact, and simple enough storage solution to hold a predictable amount of text values under first and third party CLSID keys to be used in system COM libraries operation. It was way better than some potentially enormous OLE.INI which would regularly fail to be written completely in case of power loss, among other problems. Then it was found to be so nice that upper management decided to use it for everything, and the team cursed, and tore their hair, but it was too late.

It is possible that articles in computer journals introducing COM/OLE in Windows 3 have more information on first approach to registry and its goals back then.
No scoring system is perfect, but I would criticize a few things:

- house price increase ignores the base which the increase occurred; Canada never had a 2008 crash, so even though their increase is smaller, it’s on a larger base (and now sits at 200% of US prices)

- percent of variable rate; in Canada nobody gets a fix rate longer than 5 years, many doing floating for 1 year only; the US variable rate can be fixed for 5,7 or 10 years before floating

So despite the US scoring “worse” on those two measures, I’d argue Canada is in a more precarious situation by the same measure
If not more supply what’s the solution to a housing shortage?
Tangent, but that's what made getting into Linux/Unix really hard. You have all these folders and files and no README.md to explain what is what. And there seemed to be no logic at all with how things were organized or named (and names often were shortened to abbreviations that I couldn't comprehend). I'm wondering what a modern system made to be readable and understandable would look like.

The other thing, coming from windows, was not understanding where to install things. In windows there's like a single place where you install all your stuff.
Human interaction with JS kinda sucks regardless. It's a good lowest common denominator of data, that is somewhat decent for hand editing when needed.

Comments would be nice, but they'd get lost in loading and dumping.

Moving beyond pure hierarchy, and having first class ordering, where comments are real data objects that survive import would probably be the way to go.

Something like slightly less verbose XML might be a great thing.
>And if one thing that COVID has taught us is how incredibly unnecessary you are to maintaining civilization

I don't think you understand how the world dealt with COVID.
Governments needed software fast to deal with things like tracking the spread of the virus, ensuring people observe protocols (like in my country Greece where you had to go online or send a text to make sure that you're allowed to be outside during the peak of the pandemic). You do mention supply chain, like it's one simple job, but in fact software is now an integral part of selling anything to anyone.
People went online to do things like work, socialize, buy things they don't need, buy the things they need to survive, go to school or learn skills they now need to survive like how to cook, exercise, perform, have sex.

I don't think being a programmer makes me special either, I'm not attacking that argument of yours, but in trying to make that argument you make some very myopic remarks...
It's also worth noting that DP and USB 3 lanes are shared. You can't use USB 3 when using a video mode that utilizes all 4 lanes (which is also why plenty of these hubs are limited to 4k30Hz on older DP revisions when they don't partition the lanes dynamically, as that's the most you can get out of 2 lanes).
Why are not these people kicked out from the platforms? Why aren't corporates rightfully censoring them?
Backlinks linking to the video on the web, number of views, likes, comments, NLP analysis of the title and the description of the video and yea references made to each video in other video descriptions is also good idea.

I bought my condo in 2015, in Toronto. It's value has doubled since then (similar units literally selling for twice as much in less than a week).

And this is despite the fact that the best burrito place in the city moved from across the street! THAT'S WHY I MOVED HERE.

In conclusion, the Toronto housing market is absolutely screwed when the crash comes.

> Homes in America and Britain are selling faster than ever.

I only made it this far in the article (roughly the third sentence) before I had to drop it come here to tell a story of a one week delay (likely) costing my family $200k.

My mother just sold our childhood home she owned for 39 years. It’s 20 minutes south of San Jose/the Bay Area.

Has she been one week earlier posting it she likely would’ve got $200,000 more.

Here’s what happened…

The house was listed originally at about $1.5 million (Great view but oh my God does it need reno - I digress).

After a bidding war and a triggered ratchet (forget exactly what this is called but I’d never heard of it before) auto-bidding an extra $30k ish boost - she had a $1.7 million offer contingent only on the buyer selling their Cupertino house. She also had a back up offer in the mid $1.6M range.

The sellers ended up not being able to sell their house in Cupertino where just a week or two earlier homes were flying out of inventory before they even made it onto the MLS.

Backup offer also fell through.

They ended up taking an offer they’d already rejected (buyers came back with a slightly better lowball offer) which was right at the listing price, $1.5 million. We’re hopeful it will close but the buyers may not be able to finance now with rate hikes.

STORY 2
My stepfather is a private fiduciary and sells a lot of homes from estate sales for trusts he manages in the Bay. Literally in the last week or so they’ve gone from getting bids at hundreds of thousands over to bids at or below listing price (and accepting them).

I say this because even looking at data over the last month would be stale as, at least in the few data points I have in Silicon Valley, the bottom seems to be rapidly dropping out of the market and it’s changing on a day by day basis.

Since I work at a desk, I don't see the point in using an expensive notebook that becomes obsolete in a couple of years and is hard to repair or upgrade.
I've been following the "crypto" space for a good number of years now, and when stablecoins emerged, I thought that the model didn't make much sense.

Back then, I thought that using a different collateral (e.g. US real estate), properly "locked", would have been much more interesting.

Then eventually I co-founded a startup in 2017 [0] (but left quite early at the end of 2018), with the idea that the "city of the future" should have something to do with crypto and digital. The company had made a lot of progress since I left (I still have a small chunk of shares, otherwise not really affiliated with them anymore).

Imagine if you could take a house worth, say, $100,000, then "lock" it in a "trust" controlled by a token (NFT, we used these back in 2017 when no one knew about them), and you can use up to a safe % of the house value as collateral for a stable coin (say 20%, or $20,000). The NFT acts as a "key" to the property.

Fabrica found a clever way to do this, with the aforementioned trust. In a trust you can say that the beneficiary is whoever owns a certain NFT. You can "sell" a house (more properly, transfer control/benefit of the trust owning the house) with a simple transaction on the Ethereum blockchain.

This would allow you to use the intrinsic value of a property (being a collateral), without any side effects, by simply "locking" the NFT associated with the property. The moment you want to "unlock" it, you give back the $20,000 and unlock the NFT, and then you can unwind the trust and go back to the original ownership structure. Or, change the trust so that the beneficiary is now a person, not an NFT.

I thought this would be a revolution. Of course, it didn't happen (while I was at Fabrica we went through the 2018 "crypto winter" and that almost killed the company, then we had to part ways, and the team who was left struggled for a while before regaining some financial stability). We also decided we didn't want to do an ICO, because we thought most of these were scams, and it wasn't the right way to build trust with our customer base.

Well, I hope this was interesting to read.

You are 100% correct but I don't think we can ever get there. There is a huge (not big enough, but still huge) class of normal hard-working people who have >75% of their net worth tied up in a single home. Anything done to punish the upper class of landlords and vacation home owners will naturally hurt the value of homes all over the price spectrum and cause a massive crash in the wealth of the middle class. This will not only affect today's homeowners but the next 1-2 generations of their family. This crash in middle-class wealth would basically wreck the entire consumer economy.

I can't see a way out of this that isn't basically "blow up capitalism and start over". And while I definitely want to blow it all up many days, I also have an extremely strong preference for national economic stability. I really don't want to live through some bigger version of 2008 again.
That was indeed the tradition, but on Linux the GNU libc wants to be only dynamically linked, which creates a lot of problems for those who want static executables.

Because of that, in many Linux distributions there are few, if any, static executables. Due to this, it may happen that a botched glibc upgrade makes the system unusable, because no executable can be started to repair it (nowadays many distributions have a static busybox for such situations). I have seen this a couple of times, and the first time I could not understand what happened, because I was used to older systems, where the commands that I tried to execute (e.g. ls or mv) had been statically linked. Such a thing could never happen in a traditional UNIX or Linux system, before glibc disallowed static linking.

The GNU libc should have been split into a libc with most of the functions, which may be linked statically without problems, and into a small library with the name resolving functions, which could be linked dynamically only by the programs which need those functions.

Even better, the name resolving functions should have been organized in such a way to be able to use their default configuration with static linking and choose dynamic linking only when you really intend to override the default configuration when using less common services, e.g. NIS.

I'm interested in why Python is such a good teaching language.

IMO I find that indents are supremely useful and visually appealing to the novice. They just look fantastic to people without decades of parentheses muscle memory.

But my pet theory is that explicit typing is really key to newer programmers. It just helps show them what is happening. I remember, Python took me awhile the first time.
Not surprising indeed. This has been a long time coming. A lot of families max leveraged themselves to be able to buy.
