Remote work existed long before covid and had some great successful examples across both America and in Europe. I worked fully remote for the past decade. I used HN often to find good remote jobs.

It was easy to see that remote work could work in more environments given the right push. Software and technology ultimately needed to improve and it absolutely has.

Now compare to UBI, it's just not feasible. We see countries with extreme inflation and how bad it is, we see that UBI requires tyranny to work, it's just not comparable to remote work in any way.
Should one buy a farm in southern europe or in scandinavia? To me it seems that in 40 years southern europe will be like north africa while scandinavia will be like southern europe. But right now scandinavia seems to me like 7 or 8 months of darkness (and cold)... so not that good for farming? I don't know.

Frankly, I don't see how it justifies the sum. The guy can be a stubborn fool, and $573000 is still a crazy amount
Got it. Thanks for clarifying. That seems like a not- unreasonable choice for a HLL like c#, though I'm still baffled they didn't go with something like Task.async
The city has noted complaints from neighbors about rat infestations. I feel like that puts 'leaving fruit lying around' in a different light.

Normally, after 2 or 3 time without a proper answer, they should be striked (not fired, its before fired). Else, people can't legitimate hierarchy status. After all, its a professionnal place, feelings can't overwhelm that hard a job, without at last communication to explain why its not going right. Its most important to find solution.
Its not to be naive, or emotionnal. If job cannot be done, job cannot be guarantee.
Let me know how you feel when your neighbor starts animal rendering and leather tanning at scale.
But those aren't the relevant stats. As another comment mentioned, newborns generally don't buy houses.

The relevant stats are people reaching FTHB age (roughly 25-35), minus deaths, plus new construction. And that picture looks pretty bleak:

https://countryeconomy.com/demography/population-structure/u...

There are about 45M Americans ages 25-35. There are about 21-22M Americans in peak die-off age (75+). There are about 1.2M annual housing starts:

https://www.census.gov/construction/nrc/pdf/newresconst.pdf

Sure, by 2035 or so, when baby boomers reach peak die-off age, we're going to have a housing bust. But over the next decade? Most Millennials are screwed, and it doesn't get better until today's middle-schoolers come of age.
> Working on cars isn't noisy.

That is not my experience at any mechanic's shop ever! And even without all the fancy tools, my neighbor was banging on their engine for hours just last weekend. Maybe they don't know what they're doing, and therefore it doesn't count as work, but it sure was loud.
I think we muddled along fine as long as we had 3 or 4 TV networks steering the national conversation and no social networking. Now we can self-select for our biases and realities.

I think we’ll come through it intact. Hopefully.
I agree with you, though I also love a room with properly placed and tuned loudspeakers.
For high end desktops there really shouldn't be any trouble cooling CPUs, laptops or consumer mini PCs and whatnot certainly though but that's not where things like 12900K are designed to go. E.g. my GPU pulls north of 400W under load but for a very small fraction of the price of the GPU cooling it still runs whisper quiet. Once you've gained the ability to push 5" of air through a wide heatsink with slow thick fans instead of 0.5" through a narrow heatsink with tiny thin fans dissipating heat can be extremely quiet up past the KW range.
The Perfect Product Is a Profitable Product
As noted the city, the complaints from his neighbors include rat infestations, which suggests less 'work' and more 'hoarding'.
Of course--but this is the case for almost all jurisdictions of record vs jurisdictions of taxation. Few countries want to allow a company to operate 100% in their borders without extracting some degree of taxation. (In fact, this is basic OECD taxation doctrine.)

My situation is complex, but, generally, the advantages of Estonian registration are found in drastically simplified and lower-cost business registration and processing (vs say a GmbH in Germany or Switzerland with high share capital and accounting costs) or ease of operation for digital nomads or fully remote companies. A OÜ isn't for everyone in every life situation, but when it fits, it tends to work really well.

A LLC or C Corp in the US could work just as well (or better), depending on the situation.
So then no one should ever pay any fines for anything, and then eventually after repeated violations over years when it becomes too large it should all get written off because it is a "crazy amount"?
If "programs ought to do one thing and do it well", then why aren't they just library functions in a scripting language? Scripting languages can probably do the same things (if given minor syntax improvements, see Xonsh) in one line as well, and scale to have more complicated logic if needed. I still don't see the beauty.
Making them homeless might be a bit of an overkill for that transgression, no?

There's a city appeals process that presumably he ignored entirely, since his current argument is that city and state laws don't apply to him at all, sovereign citizen style.
I have not knowingly received any “bad“ purchases from Amazon. Having heard scary stories like these has put me off ordering things from there for sure. But the convenience is just too great for me to give it up.

Maybe I am just fortunate to have not had an issue, maybe the counterfeiters are very good, or maybe I am just clueless, or some combination of these.

I try to stick to only name brand items. If there is a product that looks compelling but is from a brand I have not heard of, I generally look at both their website and other reputable retailers which sell that same product.

I largely ignore the reviews. Not necessarily because they are scammy (which I’m sure they are) but because they are so largely subjective. Reviewers will often give a one-star rating for a product because shipping was slower than expected. Or a one-star because the product didn’t package a standard USB-A cable or didn’t include AA batteries. Or a one-star rating in protest something of the company or product itself. Many times it appears the reviewer did not read the description closely enough, and accidentally purchased the wrong product, for which they blame the retailer.

I almost always purchase from Amazon.com as the seller vs. some Harry’s Tech Supply Store. Exceptions are made if there are thousands of Store reviews and a 95%+ positive rating.

In other cases, I will simply purchase the item from the official brand website, or some other retailer. It’s frustrating that Amazon allows commingling of products from different suppliers and retailers in a common bin. It’s also frustrating that other retailers like Walmart and target seem to have followed suit.
I mean sure, fighting things in court and losing is going to cost you more money than admitting defeat. However, at some point the council should just say "you had your chance to rectify the issue, we hired a contractor to fix that for you, here's the bill", rather than letting a fine of $250/day build up over multiple years.
I think the inconsistent mess of Spotify is what most people actually want, because back in the day I remember constantly hearing from people how much they hated iTunes. This Neil fellow and myself are the ones with the weird taste in software, not the UX experts behind Spotify.
I think what is being referred to here in typical mush mouth obtuse language is the "monopolization" that corporations are engaging in buying up massive amounts of real assets with essentially free money the fed it printing at the rate that even the "printing press goes brrrrrr" meme does not do justice.

I don't know that people are really aware of the scale of what is going on here. The big finance houses have essentially been handed over ownership and control to corner the whole housing market ... by the captured and corrupt government.
Lots of consumer hardware has AVX512 (I have an 11th gen Intel laptop CPU that has it).

Regardless, Clang and GCC both support function multi-versioning where you supply multiple versions of a function and specify which CPU features each implementation needs, and the best version of the function will be selected at runtime based on the results of cpuid. For example, you can use this to write a function that uses no vector instructions, SEE, AVX2, or AVX512 and all versions will be compiled into the executable and the best version you can actually use will be selected at runtime. This is how glibc selects the optimal version of functions like memset/memcpy/memcmp, as there are vector instructions that significantly speed these functions up.

There's an LWN article about the feature if you're curious how it works: https://lwn.net/Articles/691932/
That's the one. My little friend was laughing his ass off right next to me, I was just horrified.
The complaints called out by the city's response to this article include rat infestations.

But I see how once you have to cross the rubicon to parallel processing, to make it sane, you'll need to rethink the old ways from simpler serial execution programming.

Yeah, sovereign citizen bs doesn't seem to go very far in the court system. "You have no power over me", seems to be met with "here's exactly how much power we have over you".
It’s private property, a city inspector has no right to trespass.
In situations like this, I would use the ambiguity in the equity component to negotiate up the base salary, or some other benefit. Otherwise you're taking on increased risk relative to other opportunities at no cost to the company.
I still buy tons of things from there, but usually only if it's sold by Amazon.com specifically or the known manufacturer selling there. And if I can find it through Target, it'll get here almost as fast with free shipping, from a company with stronger values, so I prefer that when possible.
With the C64, you could literally understand what every single memory address on the machine did. You could hold the whole thing in your head. Coding on it was about as abstraction free as you could get, especially in assembly language.

Now, we run npm and have barely any idea of how any of it works. That makes sense in a way, things get bigger and more complex. For me at least, it's not fun in the way coding on a 8 or 16 bit computer is.
The search feels actively hostile. It returns so many things that are very clearly NOT matches for what I am looking for, and are things it would rather sell me. And of course there are SO many 'sponsored' results to wade through.

On the product page itself there are a few different page sections that show alternative products or similar products to consider. Only the single one at the very bottom of the page is not a sponsored listing. ALL the other ones are just sponsored listings.

I actually have more confidence in random ebay used listings lately. At least I get what was described.
True.

This is a weird line of thought, but I'll bite.

The universe it constantly trying to kill us all. It's entropy. Life is fundamentally fighting against that entropy to keep itself well, alive.

So yes, in our "living thing" world view the whole universe is always trying to kill us (life) and we (life) are locked in a constant existential battle with entropy to stay alive.

So to oversimplify it yes, we (life) are good and the universe is evil in this thought experiment.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania: Don't get Banana Blitz HD, the camera controls suck. If you're unfamiliar with Monkey Ball: Monkeys in balls navigate puzzles to get from the start to the finish in as little time as possible. Originally an arcade game. Sponsored by Dole, the banana people.

Tetris Effect: It's Tetris! With lots of shiny colors! I'm not the hugest fan of how they set up the grading system, but it has lots of replay value and has lots of no-fail modes.

Abzu: Somber, deep, with bright colors and lots of fish. A little eerie in places. No dialog/words.

Journey: Possibly a little mature (despite its Everyone rating) for how eerie it is, Journey contains no words. There's spoken dialog in a language that nobody knows anymore. [2] reviews.

Offspring Fling: You're a momma fluff who's gotta get her little fluffs home! Very little penalty for failure, it's a fun sidescrolling platforming game. A few spots might need help from a parent to get right.

Echochrome: Think MC Escher, but as a perspective puzzle game. PSP/PS3 only, though...

Do you read to your daughter? If she's got the basics of words down and you want to work on words being read, heard, and having meaning, I have some suggestions!

SkateBird: BIRBS! TECH DECKS! Heckin TRICKS! There's story, told in birbish. The difficulty can be turned to super low, the assists turned up super high. There's very few "big words" anywhere -- most of them are maybe two syllables, and the story revolves around "Big Friend". The whole first part of the adventure is cleaning up Big Friend's room. You can customize the bird you play as. You can, in fact, pet the bird.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX: Pokemon, but with a focus on... the pokemon? Yeah it's an RPG, and there's fighting (like any pokemon game), but it has just enough plot that you'll be able to read for your daughter and help her along. [1] reviews it.

PIKMIN 3: It's Pikmin, there's really nothing else to say. It's cute, it's teamwork, but beware: There's a lot of (vaugely useful) dialog.

Katamari Damacy: Not super recommended, but worth a try if you're not familiar. The king of all cosmos has gotten himself "one with nature" (read: drunk off his petard) and dumped all the stars outta the sky. Lots of colors, but the difficulty curve is tough for a 4yo. Also there's a loud siren at the end of each level as you run out of time that spooked me the first time I was playing it.

Here Comes Niko!: You're Niko! Your goal is to make friends! Dialog-heavy in places, but with a little adult help, definitely doable!

The Unfinished Swan: perhaps a bit artsy, give it a glance and see if it's something you and your daughter would enjoy.

I'm a inactive General Contractor, and union electrician.

I'm not going to read a 49 page pdf today.

There are two things that really affect supply.

1. Government regulations is number one by a huge margin. We all know what that includes; zoning, persnickety council members who literally debate where a window is placed, the wood or stucco you can use, down to hedges, and even the color of your home. Look at what Bill Mahar had to go through in order to build a shack in his backyard.

(Gavin Neusome made some great changes these last few years. They arn't being used though. Why? It's still dam expensive to build anything. I've noticed a a few well off wealthy guys in my county using ADA units to increase the sq. footage of their homes. But most folks don't have the money to build.

2. The cost of constructing is high. Every-time a new code goes into building it just adds up. And I know how most of you love these safety codes.

The problem with over coding is the law is the law.

My father once got a failed final permit on the electrical Service installation. The law states you need 30" of space around the panel. The Service was in a concrete hallway. He was failed because the panel was 29". The inspector was a childhood friend of my father. Yes--it says something about my father too?

I knew a guy whom was failed a final electrical install because he didn't have the right sticker on two of his receptacle. A sticker. He didn't even know buried in the code there was a law over a missing label. The recepticals were standard 15 amp residential recepticals.

This guy said HUD, and NAHB, are not helping the situation. He is probally right. I did look up NAHB lobby monies for 2021, and it was 3.275 million. Which doesn't seem outrageous.

If this guy's thesis is we need to encourage manufactured housing; I'm all for it. Just pay the guys a union wage.

Housing, and the way we treat our Homeless, are my two big hot buttons. If you don't have a place to sleep, and shower, you are fucked. It's not a big problem. Some "Progressive" jack ass running for something in LA wants to not give a homeless person a room. He wants to house them in army barrack style housing, and using the single room as a carrot if the poor slob is a good boy.

If a guy buys some land, let him do whatever (within reason) with it. And yes, that means putting up a tent on it if he wants.

I'm disenfranchised over our lack of homes in the right economic zones, I don't see much ever happening.

One thing Russia did right during their experiment with Communism is they built those huge concrete apartment buildings. Everyone was pretty much guaranteed a room.

We need those big buildings now. We need to have hard building codes (like foundations, roofing, mechanicals, etc. We then need the soft codes. A guy should have to rip out a Service panel over a 1" violation.

If you are ever interested in what it takes to build anything, watch the community station that plays the local town meetings. I guarantee you will want to throw the remote at the tv.

While absurd, the blame lies not with the court, but the CA laws and regulations it was bound to interpret, which do more or less state that "invertebrates" are to be considered "fish".
Surprised this isn’t getting more attention. Waymo is likely to get a permit for paid service as well (my guess is within a year) meaning one of the largest ride hailing markets will likely have two competing AV services pretty soon. That’s a huge milestone for the industry.

You can write lots of stuff. The stuff you lose access too is mostly things that rely on the OS to function, so you lose file system stuff, networking stuff, things like that. Of course, people have written their own implementations of these things when it makes sense to do so.
What matters above all is number of households relative to housing units, and rate of expansion/contraction of households.

Household growth was flat prepandemic
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TTLHH

The likely explanation for current RE market is households temporarily expanded due to the various stimulus and forbearances giving many higher disposable income, but we'll likely see this contract again as the effect of inflation takes hold.

(Expanding/contracting can be through roommates splitting/joining, kids moving out etc).

Housing is fungible. Rental units draw from buy demand and vice versa. Substitutable goods work this way on a macro scale.

The millenials who buy, move out of rentals, which drives rents down (or less growth), increasing the spread between carrying cost to rent/own. There's a limit to how far this spread can widen nationally. You can't look at these markets independently.

Number of households show the actual number of housing units demanded, everything else is an input to number of households.

It's hard because programming is hard :-). I still believe UML is great, but the difficulty is to make the diagrams so precise that they convey crucial understanding, yet so abstract that they hide as much detail as possible.

That is nontrivial, and it is very hard to do well. But it is also the essential job necessary when designing software and then communicating the essence of that design.

My favourite tool btw is plantuml. It lets you describe diagrams (class, sequence, deployment) with text/algebra. Plantuml works well up to a point where the diagrams becomes to complex for the layout algorithm to do well.

I used to think of this as an annoyance, but now I think of it as a feature: It is a way for the universe to tell me that the model is becoming too complex. The layout algorithm serves as a proxy for everyone else that should parse the diagram, and if I can make the diagram better by simplifying, so be it.

Now, a human can do diagram layout better than plantuml, so a human can easily concoct diagrams that are both more complex and better looking than plantuml, but it is my firm belief that this usually not a good thing: It more often than not means that the message is lost in the complexity of the diagram.

Keep it simple!
