Either deregulate to allow for developers to build more, or have the govt step in and build more. (Maybe even both)

Nothing should stop housing from being an investment in the same way that any good effected by supply and demand is, but there's a difference with the price of housing going up at at slightly over the rate of inflation and what we've seen the last couple years across the entire market. (Or even the decade before that in the bay area.) 10-20% a year rises in the COL is insane, and encourages rent seeking by current housing owners to the detriment of everyone else.

Public policy should favor the former, and punish the later.
Distributed Elixir can be done with Docker containers too, see https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster which by default has some Kubernetes support but you can also have third party (or custom) clustering strategies. I've not done this myself but I've seen articles about this a lot during the past years.

Hot code updates for most applications aren't really worth it in my opinion, assuming you do something like blue/green rollover deployments. It's cool that it's possible though. But it requires appup files and afaik Distillery is one of the release tools that has support for it built-in.

Not that bad ...
Ukraine let go its Soviet-era nuclear weapons in 1991. In 2014 Russia occupied a large part of it, and in 2022 is trying to occupy it entirely. Aster this, I suppose no other nation will ever voluntarily relinquish their existing nuclear weapons, and many nations that don't have nukes will try hard to obtain them.

This ship has sailed, to my mind.
If its my primary residence, then it's a place to live.

If it appreciates, cool. I can make more money when I move somewhere else and use that to leverage my next house WHICH I LIVE IN.. If it goes down, bummer, but I can still use that to leverage my next house WHICH I LIVE IN.

I bought the house to live there, not as a financial instrument. The financial thing is secondary.

Was this ever not the case?
the insane mortgage rates we saw in the last few years really are going to be a generational redistribution of wealth that we'll talk about for the next century, I think. That might have been the last train out of town for the middle class to widely own housing in a lot of cases.
> Every action you take isn’t a vote for the type of person you wish to become, it is a vote taken by the person you are.

This is patently false. If you start smoking cigarettes occasionally and start doing it more, you are becoming more of a smoker. The actions you take or don't take are the clearest input to the person you become. It's true that this is also the person you are, but that distinction seems meaningless if you're trying to become someone better (whatever better means to you).

On a more general note (and this is what you are saying), you can both prioritize the things you need to do to progress and the time you need for enjoying yourself and your current life. These things are only mutually exclusive if you're pushing past your personal limits and there's a lot of inputs to that equation and whether that's worth it to each individual.

So my next question is: why such a strong aversion to people improving themselves? There is no problem with being competitive. However competitive you want to be, be. Do it for yourself. Don't know the author of the post, but people who are hyper competitive usually aren't telling others to also be hyper competitive (unless it's a Gary V or someone similar). From my experience, they're usually just doing their own thing.
> they're what I would consider mostly junk food. Highly processed, low in naturally occurring nutrients and rich in salt and additives

This is my main issue with most modern "meat alternative" products too - they're basically a high GI mashup of wheat flour, potatoes, sugar and other low-cost carbs, with a load of flavourings and salt added. And of course, they're often coated in breadcrumbs or batter. Basically any old shite with breadcrumbs. Even the macros aren't close to those of actual meat.

> Create a crisis, provide a solution.

The problem with that simplistic analysis is that it relies on the unspoken assumption that if it weren't for those sneaky, all-powerful, conniving [members of whichever out-group is being blamed] then the whole world would be peaceful and prosperous and free.

Having said that, I absolutely agree with the rest of your comment about what's ahead of us.
To answer such questions I always imagine transplanting a random citizen of country 1 to country 2 and vice versa. In other words, I guess you should ask the expats.

Having lived in both the UK and the US, I would say that anyone not rich is still much better off in the former because of the free healthcare, better infrastructure, cheaper education, etc.

However, in my experience the UK living standards (again, for a non-rich person) are significantly worse than the rest of Northwestern Europe. And the UK's trajectory is not looking good.

> is the US insulated from fossil fuel prices?

To a large degree, yes [1]. The US is affected by oil prices globally, but if OPEC decides to cut off the US it wouldn't have the same effect that Russia is having on the EU right now.

> also participate globally

In crises, the US has the option to restrict exports. The EU does not have that option because it is not a net producer of fossil fuels.

Then they don’t want to continue this conversation because they don’t want to internalise what they’re feeling and REALLY actually think about their choices because if I think I might have to change, and then comes the very human feeling of “I don’t want to change” or “that’s not who I am” as if it’s bad to grow and change as a person.

This specific one is meant for poor families looking for a means of moving around.

I was in a cafe the other day. They had some QR code based ordering system. After we'd chosen what to order, the system asked for my phone number. Stupidly I entered my number correctly. I can't prove that they sold my data, but I've gotten about 3-4 spam texts via imessage since I was in the cafe.

> Does it mean you will miss out on things that make life easier, faster, healthier, cheaper etc..? YES it does!

I don't think having my data passed around between multinationals is ethical, necessary or value adding in any way. At least not value adding to me! The cafe experience was totally fine when I ordered via a menu. And it works fine via our phones without the part where my privacy data gets sold to soulless companies for a few pennies.

Honestly I think the EU has the right of it in banning this stuff outright. Its disgusting, non consensual and sociopathic. Everyone involved should be ashamed of yourselves.

"It feels hopeless that surveillance capitalism will ever be able to be reigned in. "

It will likely by some combination of:
1. starts to impact the 1% (e.g. Congresswoman Feinstein didn't care about privacy a whole lot until she found out the NSA may have been bugging HER, etc)
2. an active interest in counter-measures (up to and including not buying or dismantling IoT options; people are already on forums in growing numbers looking for 'dumb' appliances and looking to hoard car parts to keep the ICE cars rolling indefinitely if possible)
3. a second Cambridge Analytical with any measurable, discrete, bad outcomes that follow (e.g. someone uses breach data to stalk a person, a group of shareholders get fleeced [aka see 1])

There is no silver bullet here in my view. A confluence of events will at some point likely hit critical mass and force it. Almost no one thought data sovereignty regulation would take off, but GDPR, CCPA, and a growing list of similars have proven that was a misstep on the part of tech to avoid a balkanized regulatory universe, but they simply could not agree to give up on iota of adtech dollars....so they will lose it by endless smaller cuts. The legal/compliance industry will reap those profits instead.

The US as an economy is mostly not effected by fuel prices anymore.

If you want to talk genealogy, maybe, but is that normally what people mean when they say "C-like"? When I think of C-like languages I think of languages that use similar syntax, such as C++ or Java. Python is a high-level scripting language with totally different syntax, a totally different type system, and a mandatory run-time environment. I write Python and C on a daily basis and I'm flabbergasted anyone could find them similar. One of the reasons Python is so popular is that it's not like C.
A lot of comments here are extremely dehumanizing.

There's both a lot of good and bad that scientists have done for the world. In fact, single men have killed millions and saved billions. The world is too complex to put people into bins of "good" and "evil." Even with a singular person it is almost impossible to do this. It is also easier to put people into the evil bin rather than the saint bin. But there are no saints nor devils. People are people, and often a product of their times. Look at those that worked on the Manhattan Project. Many thought they were doing the right thing (it is still even arguable if dropping the bombs saved more or killed more). The majority of them regret their work and feel a lot of guilt for their actions. Even though those actions were influenced from extremely limited knowledge, fear monger, and propaganda. Things we all as normal people face. We can only really do the best that we can. Should one be judged for what someone else does with their invention? There's no easy answer.

I don't think calling scientists "superheros" is really trying to say that they are saints. Rather I read it as saying that by doing science you can have large impacts on the world and society. Obviously that can be wielded for good or evil, and often it is used for both. Those that wield the power that science brings also often isn't the scientists themselves. You often see scientists advocating for how to use their work properly (we see this frequently in the ML/AI community today while we also see rampant abuse). But calling them superheros is with the intent to inspire the newer generations to pursue science. It is to give hope. But the good vs evil is orthogonal to this because that can either be individual or out of the hands of the creator.

It is just too easy to bin people and paint with a wide brush. But at the root of this is dehumanization. You aren't seeing individuals. You are representing a non-homogeneous group with biased samples (the extreme cases). Obviously this problem is rampant in more than how we classify scientists. This absolute pessimism is not criticism and does not allow us to grow and redeem ourselves. This is no way to move forward as a society and will only lead us down a darker path. It will only lead to self-fulfilling prophesies.

My B.S. in chemistry is 25 years old, and I still got the story despite not working in the field [edit:sp]since. It should make sense if you've had organic and qualitative analytical chemistry, which are sophomore- and junior-level undergrad classes. Given his audience, that's pretty reasonable.
Well, the idea that owner will be saddled with serious repair and maintenance whereas renter on virtue of being a renter will just move out to house on next street risk free seems unsustainable to me.

Increasing rents are a kind of distributing risks of costly maintenance that renters doesn't want to care about.

Where I live, they lop off a large value for tax purposes if you live in your property:

Not fully insulated - US oil prices should also go up when marketplaces as a whole does. However, the laws of physics indicate that domestic markets are still cheaper to supply to - if it is at all possible (and LNG is more quite a bit expensive than pipelines).

Furthermore, a super strong dollar when US oil production is sold in, of course, dollars makes other parts of the world that want to purchase more US energy in lieu of Russian energy pay top dollar for it compared to domestic customers.
Based on the information in the article, Oracle profiles provide enough information to uncover infidelity and membership in political groups. In particular, they track purchase history, physical location and online telemetry.

Their marketing information explicitly says they use the above to build social graphs of consumer profiles. You'd have to be pretty paranoid to prevent that from linking you to your hypothetical mistress and militia buddies.

You'd need to not carry a phone, pay with cash, stay masked (that's easy now, I guess) and avoid using a car with a built in cell modem or legible license plates. If Cory Doctorow is to be believed, gait tracking is also a thing now, so rotate through walking with thumb tacks and rocks in one or the other shoe.

Even then, you're still thoroughly in Death Note territory where you'll accidentally feed a few (information theoretic) bits of information to the database every once in a while.

How can i down vote
I'm sure the percentage is much much higher in supply constrained cities, because those cities are where there's much more opportunity for speculative real estate growth, and the local political structures are dedicated to keeping the supply constrained, and the speculative real estate asset price growth unchecked.

At the core of a lot of this is the NIMBY behavior and downzoning that started in the 1970s. It's hyper-commodified housing, while decommoditizing out places to live. (Please note that the difference between commodify and commoditize, here.)

Small-scale investors are not necessarily local. It's anecdata, but I know quite a few Seattle-area folks who bought rental houses in LCOL/MCOL areas over the last several years because the local market was too expensive. They still pay property taxes, though, and most property managers are local-ish.
NYC is an economic hub and there are many jobs that can only be done in or around NYC. Same goes for LA. Plus, both of these cities need regular people to run the services that a city relies on.

Imagine if housing was cheap enough that paying the mortgage was around the same as what it now costs to rent.

There definitely needs to be some rentals, but I believe that there needs to be controls over how many and the rental price.
To be fair, I used to work with a dyslexic CEO. He naturally had someone proof read things before sending them out, knowing that poor attention to detail is a guaranteed way to get your communication ignored by a potential customer.
