which part of the multi-hundred laws, regulations, taxes and discretionary decision making is "interference" and which part is.. you know, having government with laws?

I very much agree with you that the lack of supply is a major problem, but the article is making a case here that what the algorithm is doing is tantamount to price-fixing / collusion. Even in markets where supply is much easier to come by than housing and does not have the entrenched political dysfunction restricting supply - such as RAM chips and canned tuna - price-fixing is a problem.

There's an analogy in the article to airplane seat pricing. The solution there was to tell the airlines they couldn't collude with each other, not to say "The real problem is the lack of flight supply."

But Twitter doing the same is perfectly fine right? I see the hypocrisy in HN when it comes to how it treats Meta vs how it treats Twitter.
Great thanks.

This is perfect, and exactly all the information I need! Thank you very much for the time :)
You say that the underlying problem is a limited supply but why stop there? Why is there a limited supply?

How long will looser regulations help until we're back to the same problem?

Perhaps we should dig deeper.

Why have we organized our society in a way that encourages and almost enforces high population density?

The fact is that our current way of living is unsustainable. The housing situation is just one symptom of that.

Yes, if you can find a subject mentioned (by third parties, not just people discussing their own project) in multiple peer-reviewed papers, that is better for establishing notability than blog posts, arxiv preprints, github repositories, pages in SEO content farms, web forum comments, or first-party white papers or press releases.

The criteria are that the coverage is “significant” (i.e. more than just a throwaway mention) and made in “reliable sources” that are independent of the subject of the article. This certainly includes peer-reviewed papers. For examples of reliable sources, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SOURCETYPES

I don’t understand what you are getting at with “... next to historic and outdated 20 yo material...”

* * *

Once notability for the main topic has been established, the criteria for validating specific claims is a bit looser. For example a company’s own website could be used to demonstrate the current version number of a piece of software, a press release (or even a tweet) could be quoted to describe the company’s first-party response to some event, an arxiv preprint from a tenured scientist or mathematician could be used to support some mathematical formula, a blog post by a living person could be used to validate their birthday or the name of their spouse, and the like.
Anything popular like that you're gonna find good support available on .NET, that goes for any corporate backed language ecosystem. I think that's why Node has a reputation for being a mess in terms of reliability, there's just so much sub par crap with no company to be responsible for. .NET has a package community as well, , but on average, the stuff in there is just....better lol.

But again, nothing about these languages are distinct or remarkable enough to make career changes, the bigger picture here.
The Scissors icon shares a common fault with many other scissor symbols and emojis: the finger holes are too large for the blades to actually close (and thus cut). This is something that I can't now unsee, once it was pointed out to me.
Granada was dominated by the Moors for 700 years. The rest of the Spain (and Portugal) wasn’t.

Later Medieval-era Spanish identity was anti-Moor but not always was the case. Keep in mind that the country of Spain did not exit until the 1500s.

> The idea that someone should be hated because of the color of their skin makes sense no where, not even in the US.

There is an enormous sense between what you quote above and the comment I was replying to ("being white and not self-loathing is practically a hate-crime these days") especially in countries without a history of slavery or racial conflicts. And I think this lack of balance/distinction might be a huge problem here. You don't really go to extremes like self-loathing in order to show your respect and appreciation of other races.
I have to admit that I included Portugal without giving it much thought.

I was honestly mostly thinking about Spain and added Portugal assuming they would be the same from the perspective of identity. I stand corrected.
Really the ideal gym client for some places seems to be somebody who signs up for a membership and then never uses it, so I guess maybe having too much of the stuff that an experienced lifter might want would be a net negative for them.

The problem is that the culture of secrecy around mushrooms makes it uncomfortable to ask those questions in a new place. I learned mushrooms in a certain place, and even after 10 years in a different place I have not learned the local specialities.
Even if you exclude zoning from the equation entirely and look at the raw material and labor costs associated with building it’s usually exceeding most definitions of “affordable”. Density is often lauded as a solution, but building vertically is more expensive than horizontally. It only helps spread land costs across more square footage. The costs of going vertical usually outpaces the savings of diluted land cost. So there’s really no solution that’s sustainable. The result being all affordable housing is a shell game of subsidies.

Some of this is our own doing as well as we continue to up the requirements of building standards/codes. Some make more sense than others, but in general we don’t design building codes with costs in mind and I feel that’s a pretty large recipe for disaster.
Most applications actually IMHO come from statistics and simulation. It seems PRNGs are sometimes problematic if you need true white noise...

They may not necessarily be lazy OR entitled.

Every business has it's laundry list of problems. Every business.

Your list of problems and worldview may differ a great from their day-to-day reality. Very few want to work on resource suck that has a unknown outcome. Your selling a SaaS service to them (just picking the example in this thread as the example) isn't likely their biggest problem or decision at that moment.
I mostly agree, but they're actively pushing rental property owners to let units sit empty for extended periods of time while they wait for higher prices. There are a shocking number of high end apartments in cities like SF and NYC that are sitting empty while everyone else is struggling to find an affordable place to live.
And Win64 in rcx, rdx, r8, and r9.

Having originally learned the basics of assembly on the chronically register-deprived x86, it took me a while to get used to the fact that standard CCs now pass things in registers (and rsi and rdi in particular, retaining their ancient names while being completely general-purpose these days).
This is exactly why I stopped contributing. I don’t think why an entry needs to be deleted if someone arbitrarily decides it’s not “notable” enough
> Beyond that, if the subjects were sufficiently notable, why is it they are only documented by an activist working on documenting less notable women?

Again, you misunderstand totally. Subjects that are sufficiently notable, but had been missed on Wikipedia. This is filling in gaps, pure and simple.

> If common sense is insufficient, you could simply look at the articles she has added to confirm they are sub-notable.

Yes, please see "itishappy"'s comment above that lists men of similar notability on Wikipedia. So from her articles that are up now, it seems like they're perfectly fine.

You are bringing utterly zero evidence that she is somehow lowering standards for notability, rather than filling in gaps. She's a contributor, not an editor. Notability rules aren't being changed/lowered. We should be welcoming people who want to fill in gaps on Wikipedia.

People are motivated for lots of reasons, and "activism" is a perfectly valid one. It's not a red flag in any sense. Motivations are irrelevant -- correct/sourced and notable information is all that matters. Because Wikipedia is collaborative, anything that doesn't meet standards is quickly removed/fixed. So there's literally nothing to worry about here.
Like any other organization NSA needs to attract talent and compete for it with US corporations. Releasing Ghidra as open source they solve multiple problems.

1. Show everyone in reverse engineering and cybersecurity community what cool toys NSA have to play with.

2. Make sure there is huge pool of talent trained to work with NSA tools.

3. Get countless contributions towards processors / architecture support, etc.

Carbon emissions from a city resident are much lower than those from a suburb or rural resident.

With all respect, I don't think one should create or edit articles about themselves or their loved ones, no matter how important they are.

This is the answer to most pop-Econ articles. It’s amazing how hard people want to believe that something else is to blame or that traditional economics doesn’t apply for some reason. Algorithms are a popular outrage-bait right now, so I’m not too surprised to see “the algorithm” blamed for high rents now, too.

The move by the Biden administration is about advanced weapon systems and China’s dangerous rhetoric—especially in the shadow of Russia’s actions.

The war in Ukraine demonstrates that, if anything, the US underestimated the advantage of western weapon systems. That has little to do with the steel and mechanical engineering and much to do with chips and software.

The US has to take China’s threats seriously. They are boasting about Hong Kong. They feel emboldened by it. I don’t think the rhetoric is empty about Taiwan. And if they take the island it will only embolden China further.

If China takes Taiwan it changes the entire global power dynamic. If they try and fail it is probably the beginning of the end of the Chinese government as we know it.
"Indian" is not just an national identity but also an ethnic one. A person of Indian origin born in America or the UK is still very easily identifiable and is identified by their Indian identity.

The usage of the word "racism" to include xenophobia is common enough in a casual context that I cannot believe that you are simply not aware of that usage. By choosing to argue over the semantics of the word racism over usage you probably already are familiar with, you are diverting attention from what really matters here: that said racism or xenophobia exists and negatively affects real human beings.
This has been the case for the last 7 years or so. In the bay area, apartment managers, who run REI-owned properties, blame the software for yearly rental raises, and that they have no say in how much they should charge rent. Mom'n'pop apartments or individual condos managed by third parties are reasonable in terms of negotiation, as they are not bound by any software.

Yes, the software used by these properties is another way to engage in cartel-like behavior--price fixing.
Yes, this.

Selling to small businesses can take almost as much effort as selling to mid-sized or enterprise companies and your price point will be much smaller. It also takes about as much effort (or more) to support small businesses. I sold ecommerce software to small business for more than a decade and in retrospect, I should have charged 10x the price and sold to the bigger customers. Automation and scale will be your friend if you're selling to smaller businesses. You may need in-person sales at first to get feedback from your customers and make sure what you've built has product-market fit. Once you're reasonably sure you have a market that gets value from buying your software, think about automating as much of the sales funnel as possible. Buy email and mailing lists. Google Ads. Social Media ads. Whatever can scale and work 24/7 for you because your time is finite. A/B test your sales pitches and narrow down language that resonates with your customers.
> The Great Depression was not a deliberate purge, markets follow boom and bust cycles.

Right. You're doing exactly what I pointed out before: making excuses for US economic policy when it fails but giving it the credit when it succeeds.

> They would've developed sooner and are simply taking credit for getting out of their own way.

Who is "they"? You do realize China has had more than one leader in the past 50 years?

> They would've developed sooner

Uh sure. So what? The point is that they are wildly succeeded the past couple of decades. The original claim that started this was they haven't done anything remarkable yet. Which as a matter of historical record, is wrong. The past 20 years have been remarkable for wiping out poverty in China. Regardless of whether or not that poverty could have been wiped out earlier, it was wiped out. And this happened under the current Chinese government. So the claim that the current Chinese government can "achieve miracles" in 20 years -- while exaggerated -- is far closer to the counter claim that they have achieved nothing yet.

> taking credit for getting out of their own way.

That would not be how most economists would describe Chinese economic policy. It doesn't even describe the relatively less controlled US economic policy.
I don't think it's a universal property of functional languages. Haskell is also strongly (excessively) typed, down to the level of modeling computation itself, and it's lazy.

See, when you are defining a Haskell program, you are conceptually creating a tree of thunks that eventually get executed by the GHC runtime. Those thunks are typed, meaning they have typed inputs and outputs, and are either side-effect-free or are defined in a context that controls their side effects (e.g. the IO monad).

So you can change the definition of types willy-nilly and either get a working compiled program or some error output that tells you exactly what is broken or doesn't make sense to GHC's model of your proposed computation. Because computation itself is typed, you have a stronger guarantee that it will work as expected when executed by the GHC runtime. Because side effects are controlled, you are forced by the type checker to handle runtime errors (or crash).

At least that's how I understand it as someone who works with gifted Haskell engineers, but exists very much on the periphery of understanding.

Isn't that literally what Twitter does as well? Making exceptions for Politicians and Government Representatives? Or does HN's bias towards Twitter exempt it from any form of scrutiny?

Yep. The NSA was solving a universal problem (nobody wants to pay for IDA Pro licenses) and it makes more sense to pool their efforts with the community than to divide them. That, and it's also great PR. But mostly the first one, I reckon.

Ok, but surely you know that HN submitters aren't allowed to use the title field to editorialize, and certainly not on divisive topics. That would turn the entire site into a flamewar farm.

If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
Just as important are books that can teach you how to relate to thoughts, AKA proprioception of thought.

Thinking is a hugely important function, but it should not be considered as the only one, nor the most important in every case.
Because supply and demand itself is ridiculously broad. I don't even see people claim it isn't S&D given so many say anything from "build more housing" to "slackers go earn more money / save more", but saying supply & demand is the underlying problem is about as useful as saying the needle is in the haystack.
I’m curious, is it known how far the NSA goes in hacking computers and phones? Is there any NSA proof setup?

For example, do they have a surveillance system that remotely monitors or can remotely every Apple’s device (they are all closed source)? If small companies can do it, surely nsa does it too!

Or a system through which they can login to anyone’s account linked to American companies (eg, existence of a software system through which they login to anyone’s Gmail or AWS account when needed, without subpoena or request to those companies).

This basic means complete mass or targeted surveillance. Encryption seems futile against such actors that can hack end points easily.
> More graduating students taking the ACT are also doing so through statewide and districtwide testing programs. For the class of 2022, 60% of students who took the ACT did so at least once through those programs, compared with 27% in 2015.

> The aim is to increase access to the college admissions exam to students who may not otherwise have the opportunity.

Makes sense to me… require more students to take an exam they otherwise wouldn’t have and you will get an average lower score. Students that choose to take the exam are more likely to be prepared for taking it, and thus will study more and achieve higher scores.

Regardless. Agreed that this is potentially a good thing for helping highlight which schools need more assistance.

LyX has the best system for entering maths into a computer that I've ever used. The combination of (a) understanding standard LaTeX (and amsmath etc) commands, (b) keeping track of grouping for me (no need to manually deal with curly braces) and (c) seeing everything appearing immediately means that I often use this over pen+paper for moderately complex derivations. Even if though I've never really used it for full LaTeX documents, for me it's worth having around just for this.
