Your insights are very good. A small data point I’ll add: Pokémon is the most profitable franchise ever. Nothing has made more money. Pokémon is a global phenomenon unrivalled in its ability to make money around the globe.

So there was nowhere to go but down from Niantic. Harry Potter is not as strong in Asia.
Unless of course your builders wise up and work together to produce the bare minimum of housing stock required in order to keep prices rising, as they don’t want to flood with stock and reduce demand.
Totally agree. It is one of the perfect resources to extort people with. Unlike food the price of houses rarely drop to zero, and often go up. Like food, it is very essential to people.

What you propose is a very socialist solution. I've read somewhere that in the USSR paying more than 4% of your income to housing was considered criminal (as they calculated that's what housing would cost using cost-based-pricing).
Very good points and nicely written. Are you involved in these techs?

I should make it more clear I'm far from a no-coiner and in fact I'm deeply familiar with the tech and ecosystem - e.g. i've written my own Ethereum ZK Rollup, written smart contracts, traded, made on-chain NFTs... I've been toying with blockchain technologies for a couple of years now, and transacting with cryptocurrencies for considerably longer across many L1s and L2s.

I mention that because whilst I find these technologies fascinating, as I say I think it's crucial to recognize the following:

- Bitcoin has failed to achieve its objective of being a new form of cash

- Bitcoin has failed its objective as a fair alternative financial system; in fact people are far more exploited

- Bitcoin has failed its objective to be truly decentralized

- Bitcoin is astonishingly bad for the environment

- Bitcoin advocates are incredibly toxic

- Bitcoin has facilitated illegal acts like no other technology

- Bitcoin has failed to prove it has any intrinsic value as proven by its 0.95 correlation with risk assets like tech stocks; people speculate with it and that's its only "use".

The only thing it's good for is taking money from people who want to escape their financial oppressors and putting it into the pockets of the rich. It's a negative sum game and on the whole it's the poor and disillusioned who lose.

Are those true of other cryptocurrencies too? More or less, I'd say. Can cryptocurrencies ever fix all their problems? Personally I doubt it but in theory it's doable. Do we even need these technologies? Most of the time not... but I recognize a need in some niche areas. Are these technologies even simply superior to the ones they replace? Largely that seems like not to be the case. Are there some good use cases? I personally think so, but they certainly don't justify the market caps and are the subject of another debate.
Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. We don’t have it as bad as some other neighborhoods (like Bitter Lake or Queen Anne, or anywhere South Seattle), and the part of Ballard I live in is pretty nice for the nearby area, but property crime is still a huge problem. It was worse last year when there was a huge encampment set up at the Ballard commons.

I’ve been hearing similar problems in many big cities as well (Portland, SF, LA, Austin, …) but you might be more immune to the trend if you live in a suburb instead (eg Bellevue or Kirkland rather than Seattle, but thefts are beginning to intrude even there).
I'm always shocked by how many anti-nuclear power people are on HN. So many have bought into fearmongering and lies about safety that oil and gas companies are happy to encourage. It's a non-reweable but quite clean and incredibly safe method of power generation.

It produces far less harm to the environment than fossil fuel generation, which should be decommissioned as quickly as possible. Every time a government chooses too replace nuclear generation with fossil fuels out of choice (I'm looking at you, Germany), they're a traitor to their own people, and to all humans.

And I'll never understand "green" people who actively protest against nuclear power. Yes, renewable power is better. But most of the power generated comes from fossil fuels, that needs to stop as soon as possible, which isn't happening in the short term via only renewable power.

You continue to reply to defend your position that 5k euros is below average rent per month for Eastern European capitals in their most attractive locations. Do you actually have data?

It's such an extraordinary claim people are using Paris (not an Eastern European capital) as a counter example, but let's not move the goal post.
I decided about four years ago that it just doesn’t make sense to live in NYC if you’re not making $200k/year consistently. Also, I was surprised at how many people without an original thought in their head earn $200k/year in NYC —- the city rewards a sort of dull ambition. Do you want to hang out with people who are intelligent and ambitious yet somehow fail to be interesting? If so, then NYC is for you!

> Those price increases incentivize builders to increase the housing stock

Ahh yes, walking around in NY seeing building projects to increase the supply of housing in the 4th dimension where land is plentiful and the rivers are clean /s
Increasing the supply alone does not counter the gentrification / ghetto effects the parent comment talked about, in fact it might amplify them.

A gross oversimplification, but if you somehow make ten thousand new apartments available in Manhattan at $1k/month, they will eventually fill up with low-income tenants, which will make them undesirable. Pressure on all the existing $5K properties will remain the same.
Rents are already through the roof. If that hasn't incentivized builders to build enough housing to lower rents in places people want to live, why not go for the centralized solution?

CMV

The "let the free market take care of it; government intervention can only make it unaffordable" view is standing on extremely shaky legs today.
> Income After Taxes: $181,196

What? I thought that in U.S. taxes would be so much lower than in EU!

In Bavaria, Germany, the income after taxes on €300,000 euros is €168.131,35 in the highest contribution bracket, and €178.251,07 in the lowest!
> Those price increases incentivize builders to increase the housing stock

Of course this does not work if building new housing is illegal, in which case you might as well have the rent control.
It's not an excuse not to have a plan. Strategy is dynamic and iterative.

When you get punched in the mouth, you just adjust your plan based on new evidence, you don't throw it out the window.

Besides, business and engineering are not like fights and battles. Sudden shocks are rare and split-second decisions are not often called for. In most cases new evidence comes gradually, there is time to validate it, digest it and re-tune expectations and strategy.

Furthermore, always acting on the main immediate priority/bottleneck rarely leads to optimal speed. In computer science, this is called a greedy algorithm. They are indeed simpler to implement and tune (and to execute by teams), but rarely optimal. Real speed requires making predictions and adjusting them as more information becomes available, this is what planning is.

I'm not sure China is benefitting from anything demographic-wise. Seems like they're already peaked in terms of working age people and it's a decline from here. At least in the U.S. there's still plenty of immigration which continues to bolster population numbers whereas China, Japan, S. Korea can't (or don't want to) depend on that.

Interesting!

I played it when it came out, and it was awesome. Many people where on the streets, best summer.

Then they blocked the apps that made finding Pokemons easy and all the people were gone in less than a week. I was baffled how they managed to destroy a global phenomenon in such a short amount of time.

But, yes, I remember, a few years ago, I met a buch of people who still played it, but they seemed to be Pokemon fans and not members of the public. So, it essentially became a regular Pokemon game played by the usual suspects, I guess.

Which isn't bad, I mean, Pokemon is basically the MCU of games. But compared to the summer it came out...
I’m down 15% (don’t ask). When is the right time to sell?
That sounds interesting. Which static site generator?

(Currently happy with the bitnami wordpress image, but wouldn't mind going 100% static!)
If a person is the main subject of a picture, the photographer (or videographer) needa consent of the model to use that image or vidoe. Already under current law in most places. And most legitimate publishers ask for proof of consent when buying, before publishing such pictures. That social media firms don't care is not a big surprise.

Edit: And that influencers think they are above existing laws when it comes to consent ain't a big surprise neither. I agree with the woman here, handing stuff to people that don't want it, lying to them about being filmed and using the footage for petty self promotion and monetary gain is the opposite of kindness. In fact it is borderline abbusive.
Yet it isn't working in most european cities. Price increases and capital holders always build behind the offer/demand curve so they get a better yield from it. Also, rent is always high enough to milk as much as possible from modal income, as demand is pretty inelastic.

Also, read carefully, I don't want price control directly onto the private sector but the adminsitration controlling a big chunk of the offer.

Elon Musk has literally said in a public conference keynote that robotaxis would be running in 2019, and earning Tesla owners 30k/yr since 3 years ago, and that it would be financially foolish to buy anything but a Tesla.
Useful info for guessing at the cause of this: the exchange rates to the euro, pound, and yuan are all shifting toward strong dollars and yet the real value of dollars is still plummeting.

“Quantitative degree context sensitivity matters” sounds like a notable phrase here, I’m guessing such indications do not exist yet.

As an end user I face similar problems in UI translations: A lot of failed translations are made on context deprived text, on a false notion that additional contexts are only required in nuanced edge cases. In reality it is almost always necessary especially in UI texts where words are more loaded and supplemented by visual indications.

“Context” as often said might need to be defined with more depth. As it stands it is used as almost a post-hoc explanation as to why a particular output of an arbitrary language-related tasks is considered incorrect and should be discarded.

No tweets loading basically. Interesting case.
There exist "advanced filter settings" - I don't remember which are the defaults, but you might want to look at them:

"... Quality filter, when turned on, filters lower-quality content from your notifications, for example, duplicate Tweets or content that appears to be automated ...

In addition to enabling the quality filter, you can choose to disable notifications from the following types of accounts:

- Accounts that are new (that you don’t follow).

- Accounts that don’t follow you (that you don’t follow).

- Accounts you don’t follow.

- Accounts with a default profile photo (that you don’t follow).

- Accounts without a confirmed email address (that you don’t follow).

- Accounts without a confirmed phone number (that you don’t follow)."

I don’t know if it’s news but she’s kinda right in calling it out for how fake and sinister these trends are and how these people profit from them
$20/hour to classify data sounds reasonable though?

If you have more time than money it might not make sense, but at that price point I could save myself a lot of time by just working a few extra hours doing SE and let someone else do 3x that amount of labelling.
I don't know, in many settings that is a valid configuration. For me it is the responsibility of any person deploying such a distributed system to understand a priori how the system will behave in the event of a network partition. If you don't know and/or you're not sure it's something you need to worry about then that's on you.
I live in central London and pay a lot of rent, but I disagree, I don't think it's possible to compare London rents to New York. Certainly, the average rent across the entirety of London might average out at similar levels because there's a large number of renters and the floor is higher but at the upper levels, our rent is cheaper: you can live in almost any building in London for £3k/month, it's almost impossible to find an apartment building here where the rental floor is >£3k/month, luxury in London is comparatively cheap.
I didn't know there was such a filter. I'll check when Twitter comes back online.
Regarding 2, back then online was often used to mean something in the computer, as opposed to outside of it. For example online help vs paper manuals.

> Ahh yes, walking around in NY seeing building projects to increase the supply of housing in the 4th dimension where land is plentiful and the rivers are clean /s

Have you tried obtaining building permits in NYC? My understanding is that it’s not easy. If you don’t allow builders to construct new housing then you won’t get new housing, regardless of price level.
It’s true. 400kb max item size, too. 1mb max query size I believe. Good luck grabbing a shit load of data at once without a parallel scan.

Good for them. The way forward is with nuclear.
An important point to add, I think, is that strategy is a set of plans for a future that is different than the present. And that is hard. Many people struggle with it, especially beyond the task level. That's why so much of "strategy" is hand waving nonsense, because it is so difficult
This is very interesting. I'd love to read more about all these failed and discontinued ideas of computing.
-> refocus the stress response to a fleeting danger

video games are filling this role for me (and i exercise separately void of danger). although i used to get caught in feedback loops of too much gaming leading to decreased performance of responsibilities leading to more stress leading to more video games to destress.

that said, i still recommend them. just be aware of the potential cycle and stay disciplined about using them as a tool! Also, dont get so caught up in what youre "supposed" to do in the game such that it becomes another source of stress.
I don't think any tariffs were even in effect then? But a trade war was already though.
It depends on the country. Filming someone in public where they are the subject of the video (or photo) without their consent is illegal in France. If this had been recorded in France instead of Australia, the rights of the subject (the woman) to her image would trump any right to film in a public place of a Tiktok creator.
Yet somehow this doesn't seem to materialize in any meaningful way, the price of housing has only been going up exponentially and I'm sure builders are doing their best to build more but it's not getting any cheaper.

Hey everyone!,

I have been working on a tailwind css visual builder and editor for rapidly building beautiful webpages called Windframe.

After sharing a first version sometime last year, most of the feedback I got was that making the editor to be able to import other tailwind css pages /components would be really useful. And thats what I have been working on and happy that its fianlly done.

Windframe allows you import any tailwind css website/template of your choice and visually edit it and taking advantage of so many interesting visual editing features to help you ship projects faster.

It also comes with 380+ constantly updated templates to help quickly get started on any project and ship faster.

Currently working on adding support for importing a custom tailwind config and a custom css file to the editor.

Really appreciate any thoughts or feedback on this!

Thank you!
Again, it doesn’t matter whether there’s a different chance. As the man’s physician, should I rule out breast cancer because the patient is a man?
The policy I mention is precisely that, public housing being at least 40% of the supply. If demand increases, you increase supply.
Same thing has happened with Ubuntu Desktop/GNOME. I used to know where things were. Now it wants you to just click Activities and type in your search (for an Application, Setting, etc).
vertical farming makes no sence : you are loosing 90% of energy converting light into electricity and back into light for the plants, or you are burning fuel.

All the cool kids on HN hate GoDaddy. When prompted to elaborate the usual answer is "cuz they suck" or "I don't like their CEO".

“Statistics Canada says that trend is being driven largely by the province of Quebec, where 43 per cent of couples live common-law. Remove Quebec from the equation and the percentage of couples in Canada living common law drops to 17 per cent in 2021.”

This is probably (still) a reaction to decades of dominance by the Catholic Church in Quebec. The only reason the percentage isn’t higher is that some activities outside of Quebec have problems if a couple is not married (emergency health treatment for example). And I didn’t think Quebec follows common law?
Maybe. There's an open question around whether hydro can handle that much more variable load. Climate change is changing rain patterns, which changes the parameters around hydro dams.

Look at Texas- they only fall apart 1-2 days per year, but that's enough that it's a crisis every time. How confident are we that our hydro dams can sustain us in the worst case every year or decade?

I think to achieve it, we would need to see financial incentives, direct or indirect, to have everyone buying up power batteries for their homes, reducing the variable load. Maybe price incentives like nearly free electricity at night and extra costs during the day, etc.
> I don't want price control directly onto the private sector but the adminsitration controlling a big chunk of the offer.

If the government sets prices for 40% of the market, it’s price control by definition.

Presumably he doesn't love the woman, as he doesn't know anything at all about her, so that one is a lie for a start.

And I guess he doesn't feel any compassion for her either, as he hasn't taken it down without forcing her to contact him, which she probably doesn't want to do.

Fascinating that we've managed to get solar panel working at 40% capacity at night.
The article conflates two phenomena...

1. The uplift of the land after the glacier melt.

2. The fact that spruces "multiply" by spreading out their roots and can thereby migrate over centuries.

The 2nd point sort of dances on the definition of "reproduction" and "individual". Genetically this tree is identical to it's original "cloned parent" from 9500 years ago, but there are also "other?" spruce trees lower down the mountain along the tree line that are it's "siblings?"/"self?" - now detached from one another.

That's the thing with nature - it doesn't always follow definitions we place on it. net-net, this isn't quite the same as finding a tree that's individually born and still 10000 years old.
