During the summer I heard a KQED segment of some prominent examples of this from SF and why it's very expensive to do, rare to be able to pull off. Maybe it was this one: https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889483/what-would-it-take-...

Just to pick one example out of a hat, the discussion of elevators was one that made an impression on me. They said the allocation of elevators for residential vs office space is very different, and in some SF examples they had to put in entirely new elevators and staircases.

Seems there's lots of these things you wouldn't think about unless you're in that industry...
> Lol, very few people are minimizing Azov or other far-right groups in Ukraine. Everyone knows they're a huge problem

Your response to the USA spearheading propaganda efforts to support far right neo-nazi's is- 1) they failed and 2) russian nazi's are worse.

My problem is with the fact that the US did it at all, whether we agree or disagree on the success of that operation isn't part of my point.

As for media being driven by conspiring forces, I agree that they are lazy and scared to dissent, but this doesn't account for everything. I'm not going to take the time to prove that right now. If you truly believe the media organizations are benign, just lazy and conformists, then I doubt I can change your mind anyways.

> albeit they are a problem that is caused by Russia's invasion in 2014

Unrelated, they were an organization that existed long before Russia's invasion, and they arguably played a crucial role in ensuring that the peaceful Euromaiden protests turned bloody. This goes back to CIA Operation ANYFACE, and subsequent Western intervention during the Cold War and after the fall of the USSR to combat Russian influence.

Yeah but your ceiling is the next level's floor. If drilling a 4" hole in the floor/ceiling to accomodate a toilet drain is too damaging to the structural integrity (not sure I believe that, but I'm not an engineer) then it's a non-starter.

Maybe you could build the bathrooms and kitchens along partition walls that have space behind them, so pipes could run above the floor, between walls, to the building core where all the main plumbing was designed to be.
Wondering this as well. I'm open to being wrong, but I'm wondering if this is one of those cases where it feels that way to him because of other people saying it feels that way to them, self-reinforcing the sentiment
Not to mention allowing camping and undesirability, and property crime like smashed windows and stolen bikes, open air drug use, just to name a few. Source - lived in East Bay, worked in SF for almost a decade.
At that point you fall back to resistive backup. The overall efficiency averaged over time should still be good.

Why are you talking about 0 F now instead of -30 F? Modern heat pumps can work just fine at 0 F. If you find one that doesn't, then don't buy it, get a better one.
Other countries also being moronic doesn't make the bad idea better.
And then clamp the output to generate vulnerabilities? Could be worth a shot.
Given that we spend at least 8 hours a day working in these places, working, is anyone surprised at the resistance to return to the office? It's "basically unlivable" but ok to toil in for a third of your living day in (minus the traffic)... I'm sure I'll face a lot of backlash for placing the argument in this framing, but I think more than a few people feel this way.
Religions are supposed to help someone interact with others and the world in healthy ways. Does that seem to be the case with this individual? It doesn't matter how real religion is, or if you think it's a bunch of fairy tales.

I'm reminded of one of Tim Pool's stories from back when he was into skateboarding, where he goes to his friend's house, and there's a picture of Jesus on the wall. Tim says "Why do you have Jesus on the wall? Isn't religion kind of lame?" His friend said "I thought stories about a guy going around helping people was kind of cool." The conclusion being: aren't we supposed to be going around and helping each other out?
Sounds better than living in a tent on the street.

This is known in mathematics as the Jeep problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_problem
Companies will force their employees back in person. Already seeing it happen.

Companies will have power to do this in a downturn.
It's called default and foreclosure, followed by liquidation by the lender.

The mortgages will fail for most new office space, because the underwriting used unrealistic assumptions about rents.
I think it's simpler: if you're able to get a degree, you're already intelligent to some extent. That intelligence is then trained by having education in general. The difference is if you chose a major without good career prospects, you basically just have to do additional work to get the idealism out of your system and come around to a practical field. All these philosophy, sociology, literature, etc majors didn't need the major to switch into STEM etc, they were always ready for it. They just had to accept that the humanities weren't going to give them the life they wanted.

As much as this is going to hurt, it needed to happen. Prime realestate has resulted in square footage being more valuable than peoples time. Worse so, not renting out that 'square footage' can also be valuable by driving down supply.

This is a toxic cycle that produces nothing for society other than big numbers going up. America needs to eliminate rent seeking entirely, its toxic and prevents businesses from forming if they have the audacity to require space...

My only hope is we don't bail out these cancerous REIT groups and let them burn to the ground, even if it takes my 401k with it.

Half jokingly - I wonder if that is what sorta is in the works with Adam Neumann's latest project - Flow. Definitely seems similar to how the original WeWork offices were started - transforming unused loft safe into high end but communal office space. It'd probably be more like an extended stay hotel (just rooms on most floors) with a common restaurant.

That perfectly describes the 1password situation.
Unless your plan is to undermine democracy I don't see how you can really fix this. With some exception, the people who decide the rules for what is and isn't allowed to be built in an area are the people who live there. I can be mad all I want that a city/township doesn't want to provide me the kind of housing I want but it would be wrong to force them.
Crime is up because laws changed. Let's please not try to armchair psychoanalyze crime trends and reduce it to 'disruption.' In New York State, they completely reformed sentencing, and in NYC, progressive DAs and judges are trying everything to avoid sending people to jail (no bail) or prison (diversion first) EVEN in violent and gun crimes.
Presumably an office space would still cost more than a homeless person could afford, so it's not economical to convert an office to ultra-cheap housing.
Unfortunately some people will never wake up.
I was working on a thesis about how async by default was at least as much trouble as it's worth, but at the end I realized that to a first order approximation, my 'solution' was essentially asking for a return to Promises. We all know the problems with that architecture, and I have a mountain of my own anecdotes there, so if I can only come up with alternatives that even I hate, I'm mostly keeping my opinions to myself.
I can't say for certain, but I think most regulations about windows are about having an escape in case of disaster.

Specifically, there was house we were looking at, and one of the previous owners covered up the back porch.

However, one of the bedrooms used to overlook that back porch, and had a window on that wall.

They were not allowed to remove that window because "bedrooms have windows", even though the window was an interior window.

Similarly, we considered replacing our bedroom window with a bay window, but the code would not allow it because the windows were too small to allow egress.
> The best option for mass adoption is to have drag and drop tools with visualizations like no-code ETL.

No. I've worked with BI tools and when things get complicated you end up needing to go back to text to express the weird bits and every company has a few queries with weird bits in it.

I also will gladly agree that it's network effect is what makes it so hard to replace (as opposed to some perceived perfection of the language - it definitely isn't perfect) but SQL has evolved significantly over time. Core SQL hasn't - but Postgres in particular has pushed the envelope on what can be done with WINDOWs, CTEs, and aggregate modifiers. I think it's a bit misleading to say the majority of the population still tend to stick with the original language since, at a previous job we did attempt to write "neutral SQL" that would execute on MSSQL, Postgres and MySQL - but in most shops you'll have a chosen dialect and you'll be able to make use of more recent and advanced language features... So the majority of the population is using modern SQL just like the majority of programmers that'd describe themselves C/C++ programmers can't grok ANSI C.
Just checked, apparently that's right for MSVC.

My point still remains but I take your point about its limitations. My post was more a caveat on the original point anyways, I wouldn't expect most people to drop down to assembly except in very specific circumstances.
Building with no affordable units in it? Beyond the pale, the evil developers hate poor people and the units will all be bought be foreign billionaires who won't live there.

Building with x% percentage affordable units in it? Not enough affordable units and the units are not affordable enough. This will not offset the gentrification caused by the market rate units.

Building with high percentage of deeply affordable units in it? You can't just solve societal problems by throwing housing at it. The residents who will live in these deeply affordable units need social services to get their lives back on track.

Building with 100% deeply affordable units with on site social services? You can't put a homeless shelter in our neighborhood! The honest working class residents of this neighborhood have suffered enough from gentrification without having the homeless problem dumped on them too!
Not just that, but a week long NATO air + cruise missile campaign would stop this war completely, the Ukranians would just walk to their borders picking up the bodies. But NATO would rather send weapons and watch.

These are mostly for fire safety, not quality of life. Turns out not having a window during a fire has killed lots of people.

This isn't about janitors or even service workers.

It's about ignoring the humanity around us.

Yes, we're all tasked at work, and have limited bandwidth and interest.

But still: prioritizing kindness make the world a better place for everyone, because it's a way of shouting quietly: I am not a tool, and neither are you.

This applies to how developers treat QA, or marketers treat developers, leads and newbies, etc. Because that's where it seems my task involves getting you to deliver.

Instead, help others feel respected, and want to do their job, instead of having to do their job. Don't be surprised if they don't: it's their choice.
The paranoiac in me would easily lead me to believe that big oil propped up the anti-nuclear environmentalism of the 80's in order to eke out an additional 40-60 years of energy supremacy.

I don't always listen to that kind of my own thinking, but it is plausible enough to me.
Password vaults are trivially small to host. The marginal costs for these individual users is small. The bigger concern is if they try to monetize these users in some way that harms them. If they ever pulled something like that, many of us would quickly switch from being proponents to vociferous enemies of the company.

The point isn't to prescribe behavior for cloudflare. The point is to show that "no censorship" doesn't provide a simple rule to follow in all cases. Speech itself can be censorship. In this case an entity like cloudflare needs to evaluate the particulars of the case, not apply a general rule.

This is setting aside the mechanism of the censorship -- removing DDOS protection versus a harassment campaign -- the social or other merit or the speech censored, etc.

Kiwi Farms is a particular clear case to illustrate this point.
You're absolutely correct. IMO, the reason is, to a large degree, ineptness of software engineers. It simply doesn't pay to hire or train high-quality SEs, if you're not google or Amazon (and even they probably only hire and pay the best to prevent competition).

Instead, the industry as a whole hands out more "productive" tools, i.e., the abstraction layers you mentioned, in order to build ever more trivial applications (that don't work properly in most of the cases anyways).

I think that we're in a downwards spiral at this point: Business doesn't make enough money per line of code to hire or train really good engineers. Tries to push out more software, resulting in more crap. Software quality sinks. Business makes even less money per line of code. Engineers throw the towel and are replaced by less experienced people. Rinse and repeat.
I really like bitwarden, but I do wish their internal API was more clear/open so 3rd party clients were easier to write. There have been a few times where I've been on an obscure OS on a device too slow to run a modern web browser, but wanted to use Bitwarden.
Given this experience, would you start a company in SF again? If not, where?
Whoa, not only last, but last by a long shot. Most of the cities toward the bottom in that list are in the lower 50s and upper 40s. Then you have the bottom 3—Portland at 41%, Cleveland at 36% and San Francisco at 31%.

That's quite a drop off.

I find this common assumption that non-Earth lifeforms will automagically have found ways to break the laws of physics curious. Given the age of universe, it's highly likely that most other lifeforms will have developed within a rounding error of us, on geological time scales.

And as for ETs being peaceful zen wizards, the fundamental problem of resource scarcity would seem to be universally applicable. It's this resource scarcity that causes species which are good at competing to develop. So it seems likely that any species intelligent enough to become technologically advanced would have a history of belligerence similar to ours.

Thinking aspirationally about what sort of species we should strive to be is great. But I find the belief that, across the universe, humans are specially anti-progress to be a little silly. The laws of physics are universal.

> Why not let those without homes choose if they are willing to take the risks associated with ignoring those rules over l king on the streets?

I'd rather have a government that enforces a high quality of life.
47 F below freezing, not below zero.

> We spend most of the winter night below 0F so these heat pump options don't look viable.

The heat pump does not stop working or turn off at -15 F. It reaches COP=1. It still warms your house, just not more efficiently than resistive heat.

Your house also stores warmth, and if insulated well it will not become cold during whatever period the temperature drops below -25 F.

Failing both of those, just keep whatever heating you have right now. That's all you have to do.

> Not to mention we have no where outside to put this thing it won't be covered in snow.

You do. Put it on a stand. Hang it on a wall if you like. Put it on the roof. It does not need to sit on the ground.
Given how intrusive, ad-encrusted, and potentially malware-encrusted the web is becoming, this sounds like one of those Stallman absurdities that make increasing amounts of sense the more you think on them.
I also think there are a lot of people in California who don't want to RTO who aren't thinking about competing with jobs with people in a state with COL like Arkansas or Idaho. WFH is really going to depress wages for most tech workers.
Are you really proposing that we should take even more money out of the productive economy to continue worsening the homeless problem? The money has created an administrative industry that is incentivized toward self preservation and growth. It doesn't decrease the number of homeless or genuinely improve their station. It literally exacerbates the problem.

Which has been the case for at least the last decade when you examine the data and the on ground reality of the situation. All I'm pointing out is that you must repair the government first so it's actually solving problems and not making them worse.

The city officials are asleep at the wheel. Blame it on remote work and pandemic as much as you want, but the reality is that the city was in decline even before that.

It is too expensive to live in the city.

It is too expensive to commute to the city.

It is too expensive to feed yourself in the city.

Crime is rampant. Drug use and filth is everywhere.

Most importantly city has been hostile to tech and business owners.

None of this makes it lucrative for individuals and businesses to go there, which creates this feedback loop that makes it even worse for few that want to.

I'm talking about 0F because you brought up the average.

Regardless. Night time temps fluctuate at the bottom of the COP range and then might even need resistive when the heating demand is the absolute greatest. Plus you would need to build an outdoor shelter for the outside unit to handle snow. Then you have to hope the power grid holds up to all these people on resistive power. You can't just look at the happy path of.. well on average it works out great. The system seems to get quite complicated in extreme environments.
As a digital artist, all I have say to those bitching and moaning is lol. This reality has always been on the plate/inevitable. They're looking at creation as a technical skill rather than conceptual. Concept and execution to express/communicate concepts in physical form is what matters.

These folks seem to be thinking/reacting from the perspective/insecurities around markets/threat to monetary income, which is valid, but doesn't hold much weight (as of now at least...could careless either way tbh) in the debate of what's art.

This debate is beating a dead horse and has been around forever.

What I really want to know is what happens to use of the license after you sell.

For example: you use the NFT media in a YouTube video then sell the NFT. Do you have to take down the video as you no longer have a license to use the video? Can the next owner file a contentID request to get your ad revenue?
Well, yes, it would indeed infringe upon such a right (if it existed), but this argument can be applied to any action.
