It's not backwards. Calling housing and land an X and saying that this means it should have heavy state intervention IS a bold claim regardless of what X is because it's calling for heavy state intervention.

Compare: "Abortion is a non-transable good and therefore there should be heavy state intervention in it." "Video games are non-transable goods and so there should be heavy state intervention in it." "Cryptography is a non-transable good and therefore should heavily be regulated by the government."

All of these are BOLD claims regardless of what non-transable means, and it's appropriate to ask what non-transable means in order to understand why the bold claim stands.

Not really. When you turn off recommendations, the app icons are hidden but the space for recommendations stays there! Yes, just a big ol' block of whitespace with a prompt to turn recommendations back on. It takes up like 30%+ of the start menu.

It's a dark pattern.

I think there's basically two different sorts of behaviour that could fit the description. One is doing something good while setting an example for others, and the other is being seen to do something good or virtuous in order to receive appreciation for it.

That was probably partially due to poor image selection on my part. Here's one that I think is a slightly better representation of the building:

I think that while the building uses a lot of elements of brutalist style, it also does a good job incorporating natural light. The art in the picture below doesn't isn't particularly compelling to me, but I like the architecture:

> The error messages we encountered while going through this were not the amazing one's we're used to from sync rust, these were... cryptic, to say the least.

Please file tickets when you encounter these. A lot of the "great errors in rustc" are by their nature reactive: we need to see what people try when they hit corners that haven't gotten as much love. async/await uses multiple somewhat advanced features under the covers that have a tendency to provide either verbose or confusing errors. We're slowly improving them, but having good examples of real world cases is incredibly useful to speed up that process. This is what allows us to have extra information with recommendations.
You need to include Newark, Yonkers, Long Island, etc if you want to compare those figures.

Tokyo is 13400 sq km, NYC is 780 sq km. If I rounded Tokyo's land area to the same sig figs as I did for NYC, it would be lowered by half the total area that NYC takes up!
Do my research, you say?

Like, find a company in the S&P 500[0] that is not an American company? A company named, oh I dunno, Linde plc, which trades as $LIN and was founded in Germany[1] and currently has its headquarters in the UK?

So on the technical merits, what I said was correct, the S&P 500 does indeed have non-US stocks. Further, on the general thrust of my point, that the S&P 500 has exposure to international markets, that also holds true, something like 71% US and 29% international based on some cursory research [2].

But please, continue to lecture me on my ignorance. :)

Can you help me with the definition, then? I can't find that word in any of my dictionaries and search engines are suggesting I mean "non-transferable" which is not a property of land in NYC.

Unless there's a definition, saying that this property calls for heavy state intervention is indeed a bold claim.
Personally, I think they were a bit generous there.

I’m not sure what it is but it’s gotten significantly worse over the past few years and I’ve stopped recommending it to new game devs.
Where I live, it's not legally possible to homeschool. My wife and I feel that the main advantage of sending our kids to school is the social aspect, and that we might actually be better at teaching them "knowledge", but we're not sure.

I mean, it could be the classic layman "oh, I could do that!" stance, and since everybody has been to school themselves they have a vague idea what the job of a teacher is like (which, of course, is in all likelihood a fallacy). That, paired with a certain cynicism about the job of a teacher in the first place (here, they've got super-safe jobs, almost no accountability, a strong lobby, lots of days off, and are mostly done work after half a day if they're so inclined) and less than stellar results of our educational system when compared internationally, gives us a certain "we couldn't do it much worse" feeling. As a matter of fact, as a homeschooler, you've only got your own kids to focus on, not a whole class of 30 children with a wide spectrum of different prerequisites.

But then again, maybe we couldn't do it very well at all. It's such a long-term commitment, one that requires consistency over years. And the relation between children and parent is different from a student-teacher relationship, there wouldn't be such a sharp distinction between what happens inside the school and the home.

Topics like bullying and other negative forms of social pressure are omnipresent in school settings, but withdrawing our children completely from such realities might turn out to be less good of a preparation for their later lives.

And lastly, without a doubt school teachings are colored by certain political world views, and they might not always be ones you agree with. But when you send your kids to school, you give up control over what they are actually taught. Of course, it is recommended to keep a close eye on that at any point in time, and also challenge contents where you think things are going wrong. But I also think it will become increasingly difficult to do this as your kids get rooted deeper and deeper in the school system, where the political and worlds views of the teachers will play as much of a role as those of the political parties that are in charge of your country's educational system.

So, whether or not to homeschool is a really tricky question - but as I said above, it does not even present itself in our case, because we have no right to homeschool where we currently live.
It wasn't really one particular function, but an aggregation of behaviours over some external modules. None of it written by me, luckily :)
Actually we aren’t burning the biomass, we’re heating it without oxygen (pyrolysis) to create a transportable biomass intermediate called bio-oil. That bio-oil is rich in carbon, molasses-like consistency, and the overwhelming odor of barbecue sauce. Today we primarily pump that bbq sauce underground as carbon removal (Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage - BiCRS), but in the future it could be used for BECCS processes like you outline.

> the central abstractions are much better thought out

Totally agree. Godot is the first engine I've ever used where I don't feel like I'm fighting with it the whole time to make it do what I want.

Godot is pretty clearly a solid choice for anyone making 2D games, and will eventually be a fantastic choice once we get a stable Godot 4.0 with .NET 6 and other nice features.
If you’re renting out basic needs like housing I’d argue the terms of ownership should change.

We all have dependencies on one another to get access to our basic needs. If your ISP, gas or whatever provider decided to suddenly charge you double for no apparent upgrades you would not be happy. You might have to option to go to another provider. If you didn’t, you’d have to move somewhere that has cheaper services. Moving is not zero cost. It both financially and emotionally affects people depending on how tied they are to their communities. The problem with rentals is that this is happening to long term residents that have no other option because the overall market price for the area is crazy. People are being removed from their communicates because there are no restrictions on landlords that make money will producing nothing the vast majority of the time. Capitalism is supposed to reward production, products. In most cases renting is a parasitic form of raising capital that doesn’t contribute to any material improvements, it just uses existing scarcity of resources of basic needs and exploits the fact to make capital without producing anything.
> Question though... why, exactly does that have to be the case? Especially with something like housing where say there is mostly a fixed supply at any point and you can't just turn a machine on/off to produce more.

Supply/demand is a basic tenet of economics. You can visualize the model with supply/demand graphs [0], which help make the model more intuitive.

The issue of the fixed supply is known as 'stickiness'. Most things in the economy lag policy, and data that we use to observe the economy also tends to lag. This is why it's really bad to have poorly designed policy; course correction is difficult, and people are hurt in the meantime.

> Every word of what you said is based on greed and squeezing the most you possibly can from people. Please realize that.

It could be fun to channel Gordon Gecko, but I disagree that this is about greed. I care about well designed economic policy because I care about people's well-being.

That's property management, not property ownership.

Because Charm is being run as a VC tech startup rather than a traditional industrial company and there's a recent movement of trying to do ag-tech in the bay rather than places like the Midwest or even central valley. Probably doesn't hurt that the CEO/co-founder already lives in the bay.
> charging according to income

Perhaps only as part of a way to ease those with low income. But this is no good in general. You are charging one person more than another for the same good simply because of higher income. This is price discrimination and is unjust. Usury can work in an analogous way, such as when someone raises prices to exploit increased need even though the cost of production of the good sold is the same.

> property owners provide almost no value

They provide shelter and must maintain that property. Problems occur when they begin to charge unjustly for services rendered. This calls for regulation, not state ownership. No need to go to extremes.

> The current setup creates guettos [sic] by default, by siloing people with different monetary and social capital into different building and areas, hurting social mobility

Social mobility isn't the only consideration and not the summum bonum and it exists precisely to allow people to sort themselves into social classes (otherwise, why have social mobility in the first place). People of a given social class tend to live closer to each other because they share class cultural similarities, concerns, and affinities. That doesn't mean there is no contact between people of different classes, but the solution isn't to mix everyone up into a uniform mass. There's a middle way between the hermetically sealed ghetto and uniform distribution, and it doesn't involve violating the principle of subsidiary.

Ultimately, it is poverty that is a problem, not having a lower or higher income as such.
Bell bottoms were not a failed experiment. They’re awesome and need to return.
I've worked in agriculture my entire life, and seven weeks is a pretty good turnaround for fixing these types of problems. the next batch of issues they're likely to encounter is handling product with variations in moisture content that further bungs the system. Then it will be incorporating new feedstock from other crops.

Agriculture is the intersection of industrial mechanization and biological systems. Unlike traditional manufacturing, flexibility and efficiency is learned over time as situations are encountered that exceed previously theorized boundaries/ranges.

I have a grower who used gigantic wood burners for heat instead of natural gas. When I walked through his boiler room I noticed a wheelbarrow full of nails and other fasteners. He said 90% of his labour and headaches with that system were dealing with steel chunks in the feed stream, something they barely accounted for beyond adding a magnet when they built the system. Not everything can be planned for in advance.
This value of this kind of thing depends on NFTs having value, which I would dispute. As soon as a DAO tries to buy anything in meatspace (a house, a painting, a book), you're back to an oracle problem where someone has to be trusted with the custody or upkeep of the physical item and no amount of DAO votes can force them to do something they don't want to do.
The increased rates make home mortgages unaffordable. This pushes housing demand to rents because people need to live somewhere. Rental prices increase while home prices decrease - bad, bad stagflation.
I am always missing good, positive examples of what are and _are not_ "Goals", "Stratgies", "Missions", "Visions", "Key Results" etc in those articles. And where to start from and where to go?

What is a goal?

"Win in the market place" or "Become profitable" No, that is not a real goal. That is pure business survival.

"Increase market share by %X." or "Grow our portefolio to enter the premium segment" That sounds more like a goal to me.

Then, agreed, a strategy is how you do that. Those layers are really important and who has ownership of those layers. For example, to me the lowest layer are concrete "actions". Those are better defined from the workers that are close to the production and less from management. A higher, more starting layer, are the "guiding principles" the company will follow.

Example: "Grow portefolio". Two strategys how to do it. Either "Grow by aquesitions" (whole companies or external expertise) or you want to "Grow by in-house innovations". Those two "guiding layer" strategies will lead to wildly different action layers.

I mostly agree.

First off, city limit property is already seeing this effect.

Tenant protections in the USA suck. Big Time.

However landlords raising rates are a great signal that your infrastructure is failing somewhere. This is useful because it means you can look for and address the problem.

Some locations are going to be incredibly desireable and thus expensive, and that's okay, as long as there are options available for everyone else who can't afford them.

And as far as regulation solutions, removing mixed zoning restrictions would be a massive step forward in allowing development of construction that could address some of these issues. Being able to live within a minutes walk of groceries, restaurants etc. is such a freeing experience that is taken from too many due to zoning restrictions. Regulatory reform could fix that.

As a wise man once said:

“That’s, like, just your opinion, man”.

I for one think if you’re hoping to build X number of apartments in Y space, where Y is priced at downtown Toronto land prices, then you’re going to make variations of a box (or a Gherkin, but then it’d be a gherkin).

Of course, Forma isn’t a cube, there’s a lot of texture there; there’s contrast and light.

I feel like teams should be using tfe workspaces and env vars to instantiate environments rather than having a folder per-environment. It's pretty easy to replicate this workflow and results in substantially less env drift and code duplication when we do it.

It’s very difficult to justify the expense of developing your own engine now. Those numbers are distorted by Unity having been on the market for seventeen years. In 2005 (the year Unity hit the market), there were thirty-nine new games on Steam. In 2021, there were over 10,000.

Now you have to ask how many of those games would have happened absent a Unity, and the answer is "Most would not." But it's a chicken-egg problem: without Unity, the games wouldn't have existed, but if Unity asks for too much money to publish the game with their engine, the game also doesn't exist.

It's a conundrum that caused Unity's predecessors to mostly try and fail (with a few exceptions that are still around), and I've been impressed by their ability to thread the needle on this market. But it's a delicate market... lacking a Unity out there, I doubt OnlyCans Team would have rolled their own engine, but I also doubt they'd have paid money to Unreal to execute on their novelty idea. They just... Wouldn't exist. Unity has to pull far, far less revenue from developers of a game project than Unreal does to maintain the existence of the ecosystem they grew around themselves.
> All policies that attempt to address housing costs that don't increase supply are treating a symptom and not the underlying cause.

So are the ones that do increase supply, so long as they are not doing it in a way which deliberately undercuts the fact that there are positive feedback loops at work (and cutting those positive feedback loops means reducing quality of life and economic opportunity in ways no one wants.)

Among the thing that drives demand for housing is available work (demand for labor). Increasing housing supply so more of that demand is met increases demand for local services, and thereby available work, increasing demand for housing. That's not the only positive feedback loop involved, but it's one of them.
The most interesting thing is imo that people often say one thing, but put a similar-sounding word or a homophone in the subtitles, and the filter seems to trust the user-supplied subtitles.

I am obviously less informed on Manhattan shenanigans, but enough to know that there's plenty of obstacles to new construction in NYC and Manhattan proper.

I recall AOC lobbying for stopping an apartment complex in a formerly industrial area. And a articles on how certain areas of Manhattan don't allow towers. In fact, a quick look at the zoning map [0] has, eg, large areas zoned as "R8B contextual districts are designed to preserve the character and scale of taller rowhouse neighborhoods".

SF is the worst offender, but NYC is still pretty bad.

> I get the feeling we’ve read different history books.

I get the feeling we've read different history.

Forget books or opinions provided by other people many years after the fact, forget my opinion, just look at what the seceding states themselves said to justify their secession.

For example, here's South Carolina:
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp

The VERY FIRST sentence identifies the reason to secede being that the northern states are refusing to send back their fugitive slaves!

And if it's not clear enough for you, they repeat it in more detail just a little further down in the document:

---

"In the present case, that fact is established with certainty. We assert that fourteen of the States have deliberately refused, for years past, to fulfill their constitutional obligations, and we refer to their own Statutes for the proof.

The Constitution of the United States, in its fourth Article, provides as follows: "No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due."

This stipulation was so material to the compact, that without it that compact would not have been made. The greater number of the contracting parties held slaves, and they had previously evinced their estimate of the value of such a stipulation by making it a condition in the Ordinance for the government of the territory ceded by Virginia, which now composes the States north of the Ohio River."
Even if Google is a late bloomer, 13 years didn’t pass since Altavista began. In Bitcoin timeline it was a baby, which seems pretty weird and like a problem.
