The thing is, that assumption that without rent controls, developers can finance more money on builds hinges on the fact that supply is constrained, and will continue to be constrained in the future such that rents will march past average wages. At which point you have to wonder who is being served by laws set up like that? Certainly not the city, which has a tacit interest in housing all the workers that generate its economic activity within its own borders just for tax base reasons to cover the infrastructure these workers use to work in said city. Certainly not the workers of the city, who would like to live a reasonable distance from their job for a reasonable proportion of their net pay. The only real benefactor from such a paradigm are those that stand to make profit hand over fist from this status quo, and these people are often not the central cogs of the regional economy that makes the place such a place to invest in the first place. They are more like a parasitic loss on the system versus serving any mutually beneficial function to the system. These beneficiaries may live outside of the system entirely, and basically serve to extract wages from the system which aren't replaced much like any other extractive industry.

Now, there is a solid argument that apartments have gotten too expensive due to regulation. Look at any apartment building and what do you often see? Its cladded in tiny 3 feet by 8 feet balconies that can scarcely hold a cafe table, it often has some big central mostly useless courtyard like area within the complex itself to check a box for some outdoor space requirement, and it has a parking garage that extends 100 feet into the earth. All of these things are also brought on by regulation that demands the developer to build these things if they are to see the build approved. These can also all be nixed, and in many cases they have been used pretty much to just serve as a vehicle for graft for city officials. Put a bag of popcorn in your microwave and then read about Jose Huizar if you want a brief of how these sorts of things function in large american cities.

That being said there is no rational reason to support advancing rents past wages. Why would there be? Its the snake eating itself; the race to the bottom is that you end up with only the high income sliver of your regional economy of workers living where the job activity takes place, which is pretty wholly terrible for the environment and also deprives most of the opportunities that present themselves from being able to live near a major job center. We should be doing anything we can to prevent this race to the bottom, just for our own climates sake if the mere wellbeing of your fellow worker isn't enough.

I think it's inherent. One is a countervailing force against an historical wrong, with good intentions. The other is deliberately malicious, serves no benefit (not even an imagined one), and is a direct historical connection to widespread human suffering.

To ignore all of that context and to treat them as exactly equivalent is reduction to absurdity, to the point where debate involving in any matter of subtlety is impossible, from my perspective.

Furthermore, I would encourage you to state the equivalent case on your side. Why should I ignore all context and subtlety, and treat the two scenarios as morally equivalent?

I would continue easily dismantling your points but you're like a boomer railing against the Internet in the early 90s. It's bad according to your value system so other people shouldn't use it either. You don't understand it or want it or whatever. Which is totally fine. I'm not saying your position is a bad thing. In fact you have my respect. My Dad was like this with the Internet in the early 90's, and still is. He STILL doesn't use the Internet and his construction business is just fine without it. He has my respect. Both he and I ended up being "right". My only advice is to stick to your guns going forward, be like my Dad and NEVER use cryptocurrencies or metal or barter. Only use military-backed currencies and have them tracked and traced as much as possible. In fact don't even use physical cash. For your safety.

As for me, I'll continue to use Monero and precious metals and barter, and use fiat and the coming CBDCs as little as possible. If that's alright with you of course!

It takes all kinds. Though if you don't know what the Metaverse or CBDCs are you got some surprises coming!

Embrace the mindset of start and stop. It's inherent to the concept of "programming something to be automatic": you finally succeed at automating something, so it happens instantly. Now you have a different bottleneck, so you automate that, so now it happens instantly. Repeat...

Coding has a lot of it, and it never gets better, you just get better at dealing with it. No moment magically arrives where it becomes smooth and natural. The actual terminus is to say "I don't need this to be further automated" and to live within the system you have and allow it to become muscle memory - a decidedly non-tech-centric thing to do. If you have something specific to say through programming, you absolutely have to let go of the dev tools at some point.

You can often exhaust some of the anxiety by approaching tasks in iterative fashion: not immediately going for the prize as you see it, but instead looking for an appropriate mode of study that gets you closer.

For example, earlier today I wrote a short Python script for someone on my Twitter feed who wanted to collate a set of scanned pages in a defined filename order(page 1, 3, 5... stay the same, pages 32, 31, 29... become page 2, 4, 6...)

The first thought that came to mind was that this did need some programming because it has an algorithmic logic to it. And that Python is a likely solution since it lets you do file renames with os.rename() - one line to import os, the other to rename.

But then I asked myself whether I wanted to share the most caveman programming way of doing it(hardcode 32 lines of renames) or if I wanted to share an algorithm. Since we're talking about an end user that isn't a professional developer but does work intensively with computers and has some grasp of their operational logic, and is interested in a genuine automation of file renames using that logic, not just a change in the interface.

And so I went ahead and coded a simple algorithm, but still using the most common mechanisms of imperative programming: no functional maps or iterators, just a while loop with three variables being mutated, string concatenation, and a function call to left-pad the numbers as a string.

The solution is incomplete as an automation: the actual task needs the user to change the counts and string literals to fit the scans being processed. But the scope being addressed is "I don't know what tool to even use to automate this. Recommend me something." So setting up a piece of skeleton code that fit in a tweet and can be copy-paste-modified looked correct. It gets close enough to be a reference, it documents the involved syntax, and it isn't actively intimidating: Python is one dependency to install, plus a little bit of reading up on "how do I debug my script".

And when we're talking about when coding feels good, that's usually around the sweet spot. It's sufficiently empowering, but doesn't create a lengthy research loop. When I have to look at a new domain I still get stonewalled by the research loop, because, yeah, you really do have to go through the docs and poke around with it, possibly over a period of weeks to months, to know.

I suspect that it transferred OS calls.

But even then, that would pale in comparison to SVG diffs from an SVG-native OS.

If the speech gets offensive enough, you can get people to say it shouldn't be protected.

Is Fred Phelps holding a sign saying "Fags die, God laughs" at a military funeral protected speech? It was non-obvious enough that it went to the Supreme Court, meaning a lot of people thought he had no right to say that.

Do you have the right to burn a US flag in protest? There literally were laws banning that until the Supreme Court said that's protected.

I don't think it'd be hard to find people who are still in favor of a flag burning ban, or who want to ban offensive speech near funerals.

I don't have statistics but anyone who was around for those examples knows there were plenty of people on both sides.
It would probably be more meaningful to compare these input prices to the bakery’s final sale price. That is, list the prices they charge for an item with the price of the inputs, and how that changed over time.

Food inputs are usually a trivial fraction of retail price. IIRC the restaurant rule of thumb is 1/3. Much lower if not full service (the bakery probably isn’t).

I suspect a bigger cause of higher prices would be the bakery needing to charge bigger margins to cover rent increases.

I’d like to hear more details about how these decisions are actually made.
Where did anyone say that "running a SQL query is too large a burden?"
If you tie rent increases to the prices of other goods it still results in suppressed returns on development. If there's a housing shortage and rental prices rise faster than energy, food, etc. then people will be paying less than market rate (read: suppressed returns on development). Like in San Francisco: AFAIK food, energy, and other staples did not rise significantly faster than other areas. But housing shortages led to significant rent increases.

The only way rent control doesn't suppress returns on development is if the maximum rent increases are higher than what the rental increases would be absent rent control.

> The folks closest to the problem are the least able to worry. I was chatting with a researcher from OpenAI the other day who told me he intellectually understood AGI risks, but couldn't feel the fear emotionally, because he was so close to the problem and saw how hard it was to get these models to do anything.

The first sentence is disingenuous in the meaning of the second sentence. That researcher is perfectly capable of being concerned. However, they’re the expert, and they’re observing first hand the “state of the art”, which they’re not concerned about. You’re caught up in your own imagination assuming that AGI must be taking off that you think you get to criticize experts’ calm rationale.

Meh, so many things have broken on the web over the years, the "Don't break the web" is kind of bs AFAICT.

I've had to re-do so many things that were working when I shipped them but stopped because Chrome or Firefox or Safari changed something and broke it.

Heck, you can find probably 100s of examples of pages that no longer work because browsers changed things right here

https://experiments.withgoogle.com/collection/chrome

At the same time, the reason Safari doesn't report MacOS 11 is because too many sites had poorly written detectors that threw exceptions if they didn't see Mac OS 10_???? in the UA string. Here's the userAgent on Safari
