> property owners provide almost no value

I think you have no idea how much things break and need fixing. I have a friend that owns a few houses that he rents out, and it's a part time job just keeping up with fixing things. Between them, there's a few thousand items that can and do break and need maintenance. He would not be profitable if he hired out to fix things. Outside Labour can easily be $100/hour and if you need something even a little bit more serious its easily $1000/day.

This is the hidden cost of manufacturers making things as cheaply as possible, and often out of plastic. Property taxes and utility bills and problem with tenants. Navigating disputes, noise complaints, missed rent, move outs and move ins, signing new lease agreements, landscaping, leaky plumbing, damaged flooring, overgrown trees, it's endless. It's a part time job.
Those $500 homes are not inhabitable. As someone who was in Detroit less than 24 hours ago, I can tell you I was surprised at how expensive the housing was. Not that it was close to Bay Area prices, but I was expecting to see places I liked for 300-400k. The reality is more like 600k for less than 2,000 square feet.
Actually, very different.

Public access was very limited in bandwidth: one simply didn't have thousands of people posting content. As a result, public access was heavily curated and subject to the same broadcast restrictions as traditional television.

Even allowing that, public access isn't much of a thing anymore. In modern mainstream television stations, there is absolutely no user-generated content.
Ah, from your original comment, I thought you were advocating for seizure + rent control.

If you are instead suggesting some form of eminent domain of low density housing, and then building higher density housing in its stead, with a target of 40% of housing controlled by the state, I'm more inclined to think that would work.

To my mind though, I think targeting meeting current demand + demand growth (or some margin therein) would be the target, rather than what feels to me the arbitrary target of 40% (unless you have figures that show that's where demand+growth meets.)
>will have to forego some spending, thus reducing demand for some goods/services

Or they will increase costs; which is (1) people (labor) demanding higher wages or (2) business increasing the costs of good to cover rent costs. Given that rent is already the biggest cost and has been growing steadily, it may be the case the other spending areas have been dialed to a minimum already.
> I think this entire problem would go away if all participants were just ignored.

Ignoring people? In this attention economy?!
I wouldn't be surprised if "power plants" that just provide inertia pop up. Basically flywheel storage, but with the intent to keep the flywheel at a fixed saturation level to stabilize the grid frequency.

But we are at an interesting point in time where "smarter" devices make the addition of demand management easier than ever, and at the same time less predictable power generation makes demand management financially more attractive. We just have to settle on the right mechanism: do electricity prices stay simple, but the provider can control your devices, or are electricity prices reflective of actual supply and devices regulate themselves based off that.

NYC has substantially higher taxes than most of its suburbs. It also has a much higher draw due to its dense population supporting fancy bars, arts, and other world class amenities. The network effects of living close to other interesting, cosmopolitan, or just niche social group people are also valuable.
Who owns what, however, is not.
>It is easy to hand wave "more building supply", but that's a medium to long term solution.

YES! It's the long term solution which if it were implemented in a timely manner in the past, would have saved us today, but even though we are in a mess today, it's not being implemented even to this day due to bureaucracy, NIMBYism and various political issues which beat around the bush, instead of saying it straight: "Build more today so we can live easier tomorrow!"

>What do we do in the short term?

Also, build more. If you don't build in the short term, there will be no long term.
One piece of the puzzle I'm struggling with in all of this is why if housing is so expensive and rents so high are more houses not being built? Surely the incentive is there, what's going wrong?

It doesn’t work. People use electricity at peak hours because working people and families are on similar schedules. We all get home from work or wfh office, start cooking, and doing other things because we have time after work/school. Not to mention 5pm is usually the hottest part of the day so ACs run.
Virtue signaling has similar effect as vice signaling: it signals to others what you think is good thing to do. It is statement toward rest of word.
You definitely need more labels when categorizing sentiment than just emotion/valence. Possibly even degrees/confidence by the annotator. Heck, have several annotators label it, and derive a "Controversial" feature based on the spread of the ratings.

Only tangentially related, is your username a pun on "Nostradamus", "Nostril", and "Nasal Demons"? If so, that is very witty!

Anyone interested in this application of machine learning might be interested to read How Emotions are Made by Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett. She makes a compelling case that emotions cannot be reliably understood through facial expressions alone, and that context must be included to improve our own human accuracy at the task, let alone machine accuracy. While this article is about a textual dataset and so not an exact parallel, I think some of the same principles apply — namely that greater context is often needed to interpret an emotion from a message.
Well even though it says that, the concept of absolution (at least as far as I know, I am not religious anymore) does not exist in Islam. It's more as in doing good things would cancel out some of your sins, but not omit them completely.

> and property owners provide almost no value, but to provide access to housing for people who has no capital for it, which is service that could be perfectly provided by a state entity.

Property of course requires maintenance and management, so the sleight of hand here is to define away all those aspects of ownership so that by definition all that's meant by "landlord" is "old guy who cashes checks."

But somebody has to maintain the property, somebody has to prioritize upgrades and improvements, somebody has to cut the grass, somebody has to pay the taxes, somebody has to -- yes -- collect and cash the checks. Somebody has to respond to tenant requests and emergencies. Somebody has to advertise the property when it's vacant. Someone conducts showings and screens tenants. And, maybe most important, somebody assumes the risk of a bad tenant or a down market or a declining neighborhood. And so on and so on.

Whether all this is done by the owner personally or hired out is irrelevant. There's no reason to believe government can perform these functions better than private owners in a market.

A simple proof that landlording is not free/easy money is to realize that millions of middle- and upper-middle class Americans who -- if not today, certainly 5 years ago before this most recent run-up in prices -- could, if they wanted to, afford to buy property and become landlords, but they mostly do not do it. And since nobody turns down free/easy money, landlording simply cannot be free/easy money. QED.
I would love a Crazy Eddie’s Discount Domains website built using 90’s html where the domains are sold like timeshares. Do I even own this domain? Not clear, but at $0.90 cents a year who can complain. A counter for page visits and Eddie’s cocaine budget.

Welcome! Glad to see more folks joining the open source FGA/Zanzibar space! Making synchronization first-class is a great area to explore. It'd be nice to connect and chat about all things Zanzibar, not just data syncing!

The Authzed team[0] built Postgres syncing with the SpiceDB Postgres Connector[1] to explore syncing, but we never got it into a place that the community could agree upon. Users in the SpiceDB community are using technologies like CDC external to SpiceDB successfully, but there are many foot-guns to syncing because it can violate data consistency. Is there documentation on how Permify handles consistency (e.g. the Zookies/The New Enemy Problem from the Zanzibar paper)?

For about 2 years now, I've been doing most of my workouts in the late evening. It's mostly weight training. I rarely start before 9pm and often start around 11. Last night, I went from around 11:30 to 12:15. I take about an hour to stretch, shower, rehydrate, and wind down. Then I fall asleep like a rock for the entire night.
I would be surprised if the iOS emulator can run production Snapchat app. Their policy has been incredibly consistent on where Snapchat should be used (real device, with cameras). Anything else probably will fail the attestation phase.

I'd hardly say it is inexorable. There are a handful of people who have tattooed their bitcoin address on their arm but the opinion of most people about Web3 is "just say no".
Usually yes, for some reason the past few weeks I've felt fine.

Maybe just because I've been so busy/energized, maybe because I've been doing yoga every morning and exercising during the days, maybe something else.
>Year over year inflation is 9.3% and Fed interest rate is only 1.5%, while it should be 2% points over inflation.

This ignores the realities of the market. A much lower rate than 11.3% (e.g. a 4%) would lead to a deep recession due to a shrinking money supply, which in turn would "counteract" inflation.

That's true. The bun dish I order costs $12.95 when I call the restaurant to place my order vs $15.95 with the Uber middle man. We get two orders, so that is an extra $6.49 including tax. So I'm using $15 of Uber Cash to pay $8.51 less real cash than I would have otherwise. That doesn't sound like a good deal except that I have no other use for Uber credits.

Six hours is definitely not something that makes me uncomfortable over the mid term (multiple years) but eventually catches up. Four hours doesn't feel uncomfortable for me until about a month or two of sustained low sleep.

So the ELI5 is they burn crop waste, harvest the heat and bury the carbon-rich ash. This process is called BECCS. (Not totally right - see 'pkrein’s comment below.)

The upper bound on capture is pretty good! Almost 70% of yearly CO2 emissions.

> Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), suggests a potential range of negative emissions from BECCS of 0 to 22 gigatonnes per year

> Human activities emit over 30 billion tons of CO2 (9 billion tons of fossil carbon) per year

>What makes this possible for the Christian believer is the faith/knowledge that one’s sins have already _been_ absolved, so Heaven has already effectively been attained

I have yet to meet a Christian believer IRL who has actual faith that their sins have already been absolved so heaven has already effectively been attained

Maybe that's more common in other corners of the world? I haven't met many people who actually act as if they know they'll be saved as opposed to hoping they'll be saved

This is an interesting passage. I fully support the message, that giving done in secret is more valuable than equivalent giving done for public acclaim, but for a believer, it seems like it leaves the same basic moral philosophical question open.

Instead of giving publicly to receive an extrinsic reward, instead you should give in secret to receive a different but still extrinsic reward.

Of course, a non-believer donating in secret is also probably doing it in order to obtain an intrinsic reward of self-satisfaction, and there’s no real reason why I should view the intrinsic reward self-satisfaction as any more worthy than the extrinsic motivation of God’s reward.

I don’t have any really coherent point here, it just seemed somewhat interesting…
That leaped right out at me too.
The overwhelming majority of content on social media is curated by automatic means. Manual curation at that scale, is, as you know, infeasible.
Remote work is essentially what created a large housing cost increase in other cities. Also for cities like NYC, reducing demand will be difficult. NYC has always been a city where lots of people want to live(maybe not you or me, but it does attract a lot of attention). It is historically significant, vibrant, and many parts are beautiful. People will flock there, even as others are leaving.
It's easy to agree that property owners provide value, some more than others. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not seeing the big picture. On the other hand, you seem to be ignoring the realities of supply and demand, which can quite simply allow rental costs to increase well above the value that owners provide.

Obviously I don't know, but I suspect you might be seeing a king of survivorship bias. Many people I know were in fact displaced from the place they want to live, including careers and communities they were a part of, due to cost of living. Housing is a big part of that. Are you surrounded by people who can afford it, and perhaps unaware of the people who can't?

It’s mostly Ballard. You won’t experience the level of these problems in much of South Seattle. Neighborhoods such as Seward Park, Mt Baker, Madrona, Leschi, and Columbia City are quiet and low on property crime. Never had a car break in or heard of a package theft in a decade of living on the south end.
I'm not a huge fan of these "managed" frameworks, especially for a larger app. The reason I set things up from scratch is there is alway a fear that in the future a migration away from <MANAGED_FRAMEWORK> will be required for some reason and the effort will be much greater than if we had set it up custom from the getgo.
That’s fair, but I don’t see how it would prevent similar effects from eventually spidering out to those city limit properties once the demands propagate to those areas.

I think the solution will require a mix of infrastructure solutions (building more homes) and regulatory solutions. I’m not saying landlords can’t make money, but there should definitely be greater restrictions around how much they can raise rates (which did exist, but which NYC is steadily removing) and renters need to be afforded more rights and protections too.
When payday rolls around again I'll get this, thanks for pointing it out.
"TikTok content creator, Harrison Pawluk" would be a better way to phrase it. "Creator" has ended up as a term like "influencer" or "maker".
I just started using Vite earlier this week so I was a bit dismayed to see a major version release right after I got my project configured, but my experience was the same as yours. Bumped the version in package.json and I'm good to go. My experience converting a project from CRA to Vite was really smooth too, it only took about 20 minutes.
They want to be able to process both the material they prototyped with and the material they started with (straw) and the material they tried to scale up with (corn cobs), and probably any kind of plant matter that has less structural integrity than say, timber.
High rent reduces demand and reflects an equilibrium between supply and demand. That, and people in Manhattan simply can afford to pay more, so are able to bid up the prices higher than tenants in other places.
Architects tend to hate Christopher Alexander, but he is loved by everyone else. His debate with Eisenman is pretty classic.

Prince Charles is hated on by architects for the same reason. His book “harmony” is a deliberation about the types of buildings and town structures that produce vitality. I was skeptical but it is a great read.
Exactly. Actual kindness doesn't need a camera and takes into account what the recipient of your kindness actually needs. This was just some guy taking advantage of someone for internet points.
From what I can understand (which I will freely admit is somewhat limited, and biased), it seems to me that the root of the problem is that we let the very wealthy soak up all the economic gains due to productivity over the course of a few decades, while also letting those with more money have more influence over our politics (thus meaning that they had the means to ensure their gains would be locked in, rather than redistributed for the benefit of those who actually created them—ie, the workers).

Until we can collectively recognize this and address the staggering socioeconomic inequality in our society, we're going to keep seeing the economy limp and sputter frequently. A healthy economy needs its working class—the vast majority of people in it—to overall have healthy economic situations, enough for at least some disposable income on a regular basis on top of being able to comfortably pay for basic necessities and save a bit for the future. Ideally, it needs that to be the minimum condition, so that everyone in the economy has some genuine discretionary spending capability.
As I understand the neutrons of the D+D->He3+n reaction are slow neutrons (2.45MeV) that won't damage too much the materials.

These are not the fast neutrons of the DT fusion (14.06MeV)

They claim it won't be worse than waste neutrons of radiation therapy medical devices. To be seen...

But yes, agree this is not exactly aneutronic fusion. Around 10% of energy is lost as slow neutrons and this is definitely a problem to address.
> Virtuous acts should be done in quiet/secret and for the simple reason for it being virtuous.

Genuinely, why? As in, why is it better to do nothing then to do virtuous action that you also get some benefit from?
Maybe, but you are also advocating for climate arson. Every person who leaves NYC for any other American city other than Berkeley is raising their carbon footprint, dramatically in the case of most cities. So that isn't great.

The other perspective that you need to consider is there are huge populations who simply will not consider living in the cities you mentioned. Women, for example, do not want to move to Ohio. Homosexuals would rather not live in Oklahoma. People who are not white can rule out a happy existence in 90% of American cities. It's true that a single, straight, white male with no children can pick up and move anywhere, but that's a relatively small fraction of the people.
> it's wise to avoid the Unity installer

What "Unity installer"? Games nowadays are all distributed on steam / epic / app store / etc.

If you are talking about the editor, this makes no sense they would bundled it up with malware (their target is the games made with it).

I'm not thrill about the announcement at all but there is a lot of unfounded fear.

Absolutely agree. Also, how is this firm based in Silicon Valley / San Fran where the customers are primarily in the midwest? If they were serious about this problem, shouldn't they be where their customers or resources are? Building something in isolation and then "shipping" it to where it will be used seems very inefficient and they're clearly missing out on valuable on-the-ground information and experience. This seems more like a university research project than a serious concern?

C# hasn't been an issue for me at all bar a few oddities. Some things not working properly in C# (think some plugins or something back a while ago). Some code not directly mapping from GDScript to C#, causing huge object count issues. For reference, I've been using it since 3.1 in a hobby context.

Really, it's not the developers you have to worry about. It's everyone else. Godot is made with developers in mind, but there's much more to do than wiring signals and writing code. If you can't map things one to one from a different program or close to that through a plugin, you're either giving yourself more work, or forcing not just developers, but artists to relearn processes too.

The small stuff will get fixed over time.
The thing about game tools is that it's always a balancing act because for all the money that flows through the space, there isn't a lot of money to go around.

A game engine company cannot ask for much money at all without the people holding the purse strings turning around and asking "Why don't we just use an open source engine or build our own?" So Unity is stuck with a huge foot-in-the-door problem regarding their game engine business: their direct competition is their customers.

To their credit, I have been consistently impressed with their approach to addressing that challenge, but that challenge makes the whole space of game development support tooling hard to persevere in.
Other than some more clever hacks, templates alongside constexpr already cover a lot of possibilities.

I went to view an apartment in Prospect Park SW recently and the line wrapped around the block. When I went to apply I was told most people had offered over the asking for rent and how much I'd like to offer over the amount. We're blind bidding on rent in NY now. I wish this was an isolated incident but most apartments I'm looking for the amount of people applying is in the 50s low 100s I decided to just stay put and not look for bigger space. I'll either try again next year or leave the city.

No rent is really worth 5k/mo at that money you can buy a palace an hour or two out of the city.
