Get a license for what? I don't really understand the relationship between bureaucracy and buying a book... You can buy anything you like from anywhere in the world, pay your duty online, and have it delivered to your door. I did it a couple of times with DHL, Royal Mail, and never had any issues.

Yes, let's ban rentals altogether.
So what's the abuse here, people creating new Tutanota accounts to get access to more "free trials"?

Crunchyroll seems to be aiming for the wrong target here, they should clamp down on the free trial by asking for a payment method that doesn't get charged until you run out of your free trial, and can't reuse that payment method on a new account.
Cheers! I'm working up a kind of catalog or directory of "ecological living". It really seems like we have all the solutions, we just need to "get 'er done!"
Depending on the species used mushrooms can be cultivated very, very, very cheaply. You only have to look at the average cost of agaricus mushroom per lb ($1.5 - $2) wholesale vs processed whole pork per lb ($6- $7) wholesale to see that. Mushrooms also have a much shorter supply chain in terms of inputs and much less water input.
Oh this looks lovely, congratulations!

"I'm tentatively alright with the idea of renting forever and never owning property"

This sounds akin to feudal peonage.
I agree, but I'd also be curious to hear why the authors think that is not the case (unclear to me, but I didn't read very far as it is not very accessible to me as a non-philosopher).
But you only need to "power" it once in like a month. You "turn it on" by tapping the screen. You "turn it off" by putting it aside or in your pocket. Power button on the side is a weird choice.

You can reach whatever conclusion you want by assigning "high risk" to the things you don't want to do and "low risk" to the things you want to do but that doesn't make it more objective.

My experience is that the risk-adjusted expected value of being a sociable person at work is positive, both for your career and your overall happiness. I gather you think it's negative, which is fine, but let's not pretend one of us is more objectively correct than the other.

I haven't read The Organization Man (summary says it's a set of interviews with CEOs, does not seem too relevant for normal employees). I have read the Gervais principle. It's fun, and contextualizing it with your own experiences is valuable, but it is very loosely correlated to reality based on my own experience.

FYI, liquid smoke is literally what it sounds like. It's condensation of smoke from burning wood. It can imbue the same flavor that actual smoking can, but it doesn't have the soot and ash that usually comes from smoking, so it's safer. A lot of "smoked" foods might actually be made with liquid smoke these days.
OK, so, hypothetically (really, hypothetically), someone caught my eye on the street, so I decided to face recognize them to get their real name and home address, then bought up access to all their credit card statements and their social media friends list. Next, I misrepresented myself to ingratiate myself with their friends, all in order to exploit them financially. I did some other stuff, like track their car, which let me infer all sorts of juicy things about their personal health and private life.

I openly bragged about this on data-broker sites, and shared their info (for money) with people with similar interests. They had different end goals in mind, but I don't know what they were, so that's not on me right?

Anyway, I managed to net $8 for my trouble, but got caught and they successfully sued me.

Should I expect the damages to be more or less than the per-person pay out this lawsuit is likely to generate? How is what Oracle did any different?
IMO extra properties should be heavily taxed. Say you have more than 3, it should basically not be profitable anymore. No one wins if people are hoarding houses

The latest news I can find shows the company he founded was planning to IPO at a valuation of $2.5billion. If one were to assume the founder owns 10% of the company (reasonable at IPO based on what I know), he would have made about $250 million in equity. [https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/snapdeal...]

This is in addition to about $650k annual salary in India. [https://www.zeebiz.com/companies/news-snapdeal-co-founders-k...]

This would be pretty much impossible even with a very successful career at Microsoft, short of becoming an SVP or the CEO.
When you put politicians in charge of healthcare they will play politics with it. Politicians playing politics doesn't make sense to you? Remember most don't really care that much about the healthcare itself, only how it can be used to further their agenda and be spun for their constituency. It's the tradeoff from private where the money rules.
>Monopoly on what?

On users. Any network is worth a function of the number of nodes in it (typically a quadratic). Social Media are networks that link humans, and there is a finite number of humans (or, more accurately, internet-connected humans with time to spare) that grows very slowly and inevitably will stagnate. That means a social network is in direct zero-sum competition with all the other networks, and a giant like twitter hurts everybody else by concentrating a signficant proportion of users into a single (aweful) place, destroying competition by the lock-in effects of network dynamics.

>There are not thousands of bakeries in any city

There are in my city, actually. Dialing the number down to the hundreds or the high tens doesn't signficantly change the validity and implications of the argument either.

> In that regard, the bakery will have an actual monopoly on baked goods to people living there.

If you can actually prove that in a court, and if you furthermore prove that the complaining party will incur significant costs to themselves if they try to seek another bakery elsewhere (by a resonable legal definition of 'significant'), then you have my full blessing to force people to bake your cake.

Until then, comparing an easily-replacable food product with tons of suppliers and publicly-available recipes to a proprietary service supplied by a corporation with thousands of servers, thousands of employees and tens of millions of users is ideologically motivated bullshit.
So much for needing weeks of storage to counter the intermittency of solar and wind.

This also doesnt even count demand shaping (e.g. when german aluminum smelters dial production up and down to account for periods of high/low wind/solar).
OP buying reduces the hosing supply for owners and raises the price to become an owner pushing more people out of the "privileged" owners bracket. At the same time doing it to the most accessible to own property and making money in the process.
This is silly as hell, but it seems like a bunch of comments so far are missing the point. Title aside, there is nothing in this indicating scientists in general across all of society should be treated as heroes. This article is celebrating the specific scientists employed by Deep Mind (really just one of them), seemingly because they believe AI is going to save the world, not because science in general will do so. Therefore, AI researchers are superheroes.

This is a different problem from whatever "trust the experts" crap it is currently fashionable for the "what about the lab leak theory" Internet sleuths to agonize over. This is a problem of AI research being badly overhyped, from the admittedly quite amazing things actually being accomplished to this eschatological fatalism where AI is either going to lead to human extinction or the end of all scarcity and suffering, and nothing in-between, and probably before the end of this century.
If you see a distressed home for sale and decide to buy it, fix it up, and rent it out, you are an investor.
I mean this depends on the context. In our current market that's how a lot of people operate but it isn't a requirement. See any kind of pro bono work, To be honest it feels like a really convenient excuse that people use when they're aware, on some level, that they should feel bad about their actions.

From a purely practical point of view, as a landlord your tenants can cause a lot of financial damage. If you force out a good tenant by raising rents then you're gambling that the next one isn't going to be a nightmare.
We have 2 kids, no car. Maintenance is ~200-250 year in shop, 60-80 when done yourself. Insurance is around 4-7EUR/mo. Every year we do the 'how much a car for the same use costs' and it's an order of magnitude more. We live in suburbs, long distance (>10km) is mostly by bus or train. Groceries are fun with the cargo.

The most annoying PITA stuff are:

- theft. I worry a lot and have to fix the e-cargo on a fixed point everywhere. It's not always easy to find a good parking spot. But we got a long motorbike chain and you get used to it. Get insured though.

- flat tire, in the middle of nowhere... You gotta be prepared and either have a spare 'flat' tube or do the quick repair on the wheel, cause the back wheel is hell (for me) to handle. After a bad experience, now we have the kit (xiaomi portable compressor for <50eur, some spare tubes, some gluestuff, and the right strategy) always handy.
It also doesn't help when companies try things that can produce relevant ads for a user without tracking the users themselves, and they get blocked at every turn.

For example, Twitter allows you to prune a list of ad subjects. You can add and subtract to that list. This could effectively reduce the need for tracking, but people reflexively block the ad accounts, rendering any form of ad campaign ineffective.

I'm not saying that's the answer, btw. It may be, or it may not be. I am saying though, that people are so used to blocking ads and not paying, that finding solutions to keep online companies viable is extraordinarily difficult without tracking.

If Twitter turned around and told everyone who did that, that they have to pay for a subscription, they'd quickly go out of business.
I have good news for you! How many rentals are available is closely controlled in most parts of the US. This is one of the things zoning accomplishes. It's possible that the outcome may differ slightly from what you want, however.

Rent controls are unfortunately very similar in key ways. They've been tried, and the results may not quite line up with what you might be hoping for.
Then people would decry socialism, big government, or excessive regulation.
> We need legislation that discourages housing as investment if we are to maintain housing as shelter.

I'm looking forward to hearing how Vancouver's vacant house tax affects their market the next few years. It sounds like a good idea and I'm glad they're running that experiment. It's hard to predict how these things go over time.
Don’t forget also the anticipation of inflation - many use housing as a hedge of high inflationary environment.

If there is more damage the Fed could have done to GenZ since the bailout, that was reckless Covid spending. I sincerely wish these agencies are shut down someday. But alas we are going the other way.
If banks stopped lending based on creditworthiness they'd be doing a lot less lending causing far more people to not be able to afford a house.
That's never going to be the case because of equity. Of course government-owned housing can be sold for use rights only with no equity, but that's 'socialism' which Americans have been viscerally conditioned against.
I’m a huge musk fan, but I still think his trying to get out of the Twitter deal is lame buyer's remorse and his arguments are weak. I see it as mostly unrelated to this mudge issue.
She had cases on her older phones but they were the sheer/transparent kind.

Honestly though I think size made a difference. The non-plus felt right for her but it was just more "droppable" for her hands.
I have no data for this but I'd imagine rents have increased substantially to make up for the eviction moratoriums. Several friends of mine who own an extra house (usually their parents) ran into the problem of being unable to evict a tenant, and also having the tenant refuse to pay (because the government told them it was ok). The only solution here is to raise rents to compensate and unfortunately this drives out would-be good tenants.

But yeah in general rents being more expensive than mortgages is a function of risk. Renting is generally less risky for renters are more and more risky for the owners, so it's only fair that the owners be compensated for the risk. The question is where do you draw the line on fair risk compensation vs outright usury. In states like California and New York it's getting to be insane. Even in the low CoL area I am in I have no idea how people pay $1000 for a shoebox studio.
His definitely illegal product, based on the long list of violated laws in the article.
New Proposal Brings Us a Step Closer to Net Neutrality
In some places rental prices are increased even more because properties that would be rented otherwise are now just AirBNBs.

Just look at this map of registered short-term rentals in Scottsdale, AZ: https://eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/maps/registered-rentals. I know it's a vacation destination, especially in the winter, but I'm sure something like this is going on everywhere rents are skyrocketing. And guess what, the short-term rental lobby got the state legislature in Arizona to pass a law that cities and counties couldn't restrict short-term rentals to a greater degree than the state does.

I still think the best solution (that'll never, ever happen) is something like an exponential property tax increase for additional properties you own over 2 or so. After you own a few properties that's a cost that can't simply be passed on, so it locks out giant investors and local monopolies.
Splitting hairs, me thinks.

If individuals do not have the ability to disagree without ramifications, in absence of safety and security, will of the people can no longer exist.
I've never been in a company where leaders were forthright and honest about shortcomings. This is why engineers rarely make it to the top, and if they do they are socially and morally flexible. Not surprised that an engineer would have a hard time with the corporate side.
Linux is only a kernel. What most people mean when they say “Linux” is actually “Linux distribution” which is the Linux kernel plus some userland like GNU or Android.

> In effect, we are shifting complexity from end-developers to library developers

That is the whole reason to use libraries.

This blog post shows that types make development more enjoyable by shifting the complexity burden to library authors, who are vastly fewer in number than library users. It is a clear win.
It is because it is incredibly difficult to build new housing. Zoning is the supply constraint.
I want to agree, but at the end of the day the corps doing this are taking crappy properties and renovating them. They want to fix it up and resell it or charge higher rents than the current owners. That's how they make their profits.

Usually they have a maintenance staff that takes care of the property as well or add additional services.

Mom and pop landlords don't do any of that usually, and just hand someone a key w/ a call to the occasional contractor to fix something instead of an actual company. Most need a warm body to pay off their mortgage so they can sell it in the future and pocket the cash.

We need to fix the supply side, if the corp takes the properties that are broken down and fixes them that's a good thing. The problem comes when people who are around there now cannot afford the new rents they either become homeless or leave.

How far they have to leave depends on the supply of housing in the surrounding area, which b/c of the shortage is pretty low. With a huge supply of housing, it's possible to move next door or down the street and not much changes.

If we build more rents will go down, regardless of who the owners are. Prices to buy homes too for normal people.

Getting people to build more is the problem, high construction costs, zoning/permiting, local opposition etc.

I mean if it were true that seems pretty negligent. If that were the entire extent of the whistleblower complaint (not sure if complaint is the right term?), I would agree, but it seems as though there are some significant issue raised in the rest of the report.

I would encourage you to think more deeply than platitudes like this. Every product is made by real people, and by “real product” what are you even talking about?

Googly eyes!! I never realized how important googly eyes are. They make everything more user friendly.

They should definitely be an FCC requirement.
I'm so frustrated by some of the conversations people get in around housing. They want to live in the most desirable places on planet earth, and seem to think that we should just abolish the concept of property ownership to accomplish this.

What do you guys think happens when you get what you want, and nobody can "own" property anymore? Do you think there is an unlimited amount of single family 3000 square foot homes in San Francisco and that you will all be able to live in them?

Go on zillow and look at cities you've never heard of in that awful "flyover" part of the country. There are scores of homes for less than $200k, and plenty of homes around $100k. Go look at Parkersberg, ~~OH~~ WV.

Here's a house in Indiana for $125k. The payment on that is going to be like $450/mo. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/51-S-Main-St-Laketon-IN-4...

It's just absolutely insane to me the places that peoples minds go when this topic comes up.
Yeah, the author appears to be complaining that Typescript is forcing them to stay honest even while they perform Mad Shenanigans like dynamically constructing types :/ if TS didn't check it, it would be down to your users to report the bugs in production!
Thanks for reading the article!

> That is the whole point in creating a library. To hide complexity in a nice easy to use interface/API.

I think that's a fair point, but generating types that satisfy all use cases is very challenging to get right -- disproportionately so. I could see a world where -- without proper tooling and growing complexity -- typescript libraries becomes so difficult to maintain that people give up or burn out. Maybe that's a pessimistic outlook but I already feel that way some days.
If it's a small company, definitely the in person team. Information just flows way faster, and if you get to keep your employees, you don't need to "waste" too much on documentation, since everyone knows everything.

For a big company, if you are wel organized, I think the remote team can be way more productive. But it should be made up of mainly seniors.
I would have liked to see examples. My own instinct here would be to use simpler types, but examples could show why that isn't desirable.
My mortgage + insurance + taxes is a lower monthly payment than what my rent was at the time I bought my house. Compared to that same unit renting today, its several hundred dollars a month cheaper. It has over twice the square footage and a private garage. This is in a pretty big metro area, not the middle of nowhere.

One of the biggest benefit of owning is a hedge against housing inflation. Its not a perfect hedge, I do acknowledge. As property values increase my taxes go up, as housing materials increase in cost the cost to repair it goes up. But the amount my taxes will go up in a year is far less than how much I've been seeing rents shoot up.
