Detoxifying platforms is a "new" responsibility that a lot of social media has discovered over the last decade and with good reason (again, not saying that Twitter is doing is well).

That responsibility has a few dimensions including financial (a platform that is overly toxic deters users and hence reduces ad revenue), moral (most corporations are a-moral by nature, but there are some attempts to assuage the public and deliver on a few safety features), and regulatory (hate speech is a real thing and can be enforced selectively (as opposed to "free speech" laws)).

Common misconceptions about Germany's energy transition
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I wasn't talking about mortgages or rent.
"From 2002, German nuclear production declined from 156.3 TWh to 65.4 TWh in 2021. During this time wind and solar increased from 19 TWh to 161.5 TWh. Or the 90.9 TWh decrease in nuclear power was offset by a growth of 142.5 TWh in solar + onshore +offshore wind. At the same time coal, both hard and lignite decreased from 251.9 TWh to 146.5 TWh for a reduction of 109.4 TWh. So Germany reduced both coal and nuclear at the same time, coal did not grow, and the coal reduction was actually larger than the nuclear reduction. "
No you just made it sound like it was kind of stupid to even attempt such a law.

Similar laws exists in Tokyo and it seems like a non-issue. Find me an empty apartment in Tokyo and I’ll be surprised. Maybe the problem exists elsewhere in society, for example: maybe the cost of living and property in NYC is just too expensive no matter what regulations exist?

I’m saying this because I’d imagine if people don’t think it’s worth renting the apartments, why not sell to citizens so they can buy in them and live there?

I feel like the world is starting to wake up to the fact that while it’s not easy to outlaw properly speculation, it’s going to be one if the major problems that define our time.
What a joke. "This study has several limitations. First, the low mortality and hospitalization rates observed preclude drawing strict inferences on whether there are statistical difference"
> ...landlords can and do raise rents arbitrarily to drive our particular renters and then offer better rents to preferred renters...

This is positing that landlords engage in complicated schemes to lower the rent they are paid. I speak with supreme confidence, the median landlord is not going to do that unless these 'preferred renters' are measurably better than the people getting kicked out, in ways that make objective sense. Frankly, if a landlord is engaging in this practice then they probably aren't a 'landlord', they've just taken the property out of the rental market so their kids can live there or something.

> ...drive out a family to subdivide an apartment into multiple rooms to rent.

A landlord is much more likely to do that, but the complaint here is that there are people willing to value the m2 of the apartment higher than the family. There is no way to block that from happening without price controls and, eventually, shortages emerging.

The landlords in the article are greedy, they don't want their apartments to be empty. They want to be renting them out for whatever the most willing renter is going to give them. But they also aren't stupid, and they aren't going to rent them out anticipating that they will make losses.

How it sounded to you was not my intended tone. If you read what I wrote again you may take away from my response that knee-jerking an argument about regulations in general is not something I find productive, but rather discussion of specific policies.

True enlightenment is when you realize that junk DNA is actually a great term, because evolution is great at building things out of junk and repurposing them.

The "junk" areas of repetitive DNA were actually identified as cauldrons of evolution in the early days of research, so we have known since the beginning that the junk was actually crucial.

You may hope that a judge considers a really weird and cherry-picked weird edge case to be "normal use", but opposing counsel will argue the opposite, and have a lot of evidence if they actually look at real use.

"I can use a gun to shoot someone" doesn't make guns illegal, even if people do so with some regularity. "I shot someone to make the point that guns can kill people" is worth even less in the eye of the law, and that is literally what you're pointing to here.
> What it protects isn’t rising rent, it protects tenants from landlords jacking up the rent to kick them out

The landlord is the property owner. Yes, they can kick renters out of their house after the lease, a contractual agreement to temporarily live in it, has expired. As long as the renter signed the contract, understood the terms, and wasn’t under duress that should be the end of it.

When someone otherwise takes something that doesn’t belong to them (In this case, someone’s house) that’s called stealing. When the government enables people to steal you get a bunch of weird market dynamics that reduce the supply of affordable housing.
The owner rents the property from the government at prices that are not capped below inflation. This is called property tax.
> I deeply question the idea that it's reasonable for an adult human in the world to have no curiosity about, or experience with, how their home is constructed.

Why isn't it reasonable? Plenty of people have no curiosity or experience with how medications are manufactured or how sewage systems work, and those are no less fundamental to our modern lives than how a house is built.

Product management is clearly a legitimate function. A good PM embedded in a cross-functional team can make a night and day difference.

Problems seem to begin when product management is externalized from the product teams, put into dedicated teams or departments. The role is seen as something like "telling the devs what to build and making sure they build it."

I use Arch Linux and really appreciate it for the documentation and the rolling release. I wouldn't say it's intuitive for a Linux beginner, though. Expected features don't exist until you go out of your way to install and configure them. Updates often require some finesse at the command line.

Ubuntu works well as long as you install an LTS release and then only upgrade to the next LTS at the end of the support window for the previous release.

Tangentially, I'm getting bored of my desktop environment, and wouldn't mind mixing things up. I've been using cinnamon. I am hesitant to try KDE because of all the GUI dependencies it would presumably install.
Does economic theory even account for this concept of holding out? It's like those supply and demand graphs assume a good or service is automatically living and moving in a market

It’s not rent control, but someone else is, ah, controlling how much I can charge for the building I paid for.

But isn’t this only true if you want to profit from the property?

What about you buy the property for you and your family to live in rather than as an investment that needs high return?

The property value will still increase with time. That should offer some form of protection for the initial capital investment if you need to sell later in life.
It's the ol' "only people willing to be members of society and follow the rules that protect people may start a business" plan. You don't get to flush toxic waste down the drain, put poison in your pills, and ignore disability accommodations.

It sounds like you think there should be no disability accommodations. Is that the root of the disagreement?
If this non rent control is such a great idea, why not invest in some rent stabilized buildings yourself?
That’s because they skip quite a few steps. You would first deposit a photosensitive layer, then expose it wit a pattern of light, which will allow you to selectively open up the parts you want to toch next.

For step 7 for example, you create a masking layer that way, after which you etch away only the exposed parts where source and drain contacts will end up.

For step 8, you do something similar. The openings you’ve etched in step 8 will allow only to dope the contacts, but you need to mask the nmos and pmos separately, otherwise you get the same doping in both transistors.

A lot of the ‘magic’ to make this work is in the materials and chemistry: you need selectivity: etching that only interacts with the exposed parts. In highly scaled finfet nodes, the material combinations are very complex as you sometimes want 2, or 3 different material combinations to interact in the way you want, reliably, at nanometer scale.

(Edit finfet not finger)
There are a couple of full-blown text editors written in vanilla js so it's very capable of doing highly interactive.

Sure, but in that instance the correct policy response there is to stop the policies that force house prices eternally upwards, meaning that this strategy doesn't work in the long term.

It takes quite distorted incentives for the obvious course of action to be (1) build a house => (2) leave it empty. For that to make economic sense for more than maybe 12 months, the government has to have really come in swinging with crazy policies.

Yep, being able to talk the lingo really helps you BS when challenged. And you're spot on that being able to project the confidence that you are there because you need to be there is critical.

In Christchurch New Zealand, after the 2011 earthquake, there were a lot of officials from insurance companies, government departments etc. inspecting properties.

And the criminal elements quickly cottoned onto the fact that if you wore a hi-viz and carried a clipboard or iPad, and could talk about foundation subsidence with a moderate level of confidence, you could case and/or burgle houses with ease while multiple potential witnesses just ignored you because hey, hi-viz and an iPad, obviously there on earthquake related issues, right?
Just spitballing here, but I have a sneaking suspicion that no one favoring rent control has ever dealt with renters.
Can't speak for California but new construction in NYC is NOT genereally rent stabilized. It is rented at market rates, unless the landlord voluntarily chooses to place some of their apartments under rent stabilization in exchange for very generous tax breaks. A friend of mine recently moved into rent-stabilized new construction that she obtained a lease to after winning a housing lottery. The entire development has approximately 1100 units of which just under a third were offered with rent stabilized leases. She pays about $2100 for a 1 br and the equivalent market rate units are around $1000 more. There's quite a bit of ongoing new rental construction in her area, so there's profit to be made.

As kids we constantly used to make fun of our Mum who'd repeatedly say "Oh I know, I know" while talking on the phone to a friend - even though both are Australian, they'd both spent time in the UK where that's obviously a common enough way of acknowledging the person on the other end of the line that the Fawlty Towers' character Sybil would regularly caricature the over-use of it.

But from what I've observed Japanese people do tend "un" and "a sou" or "sou desu ka" quite a lot even when talking face to face, far more than we would as English speakers, where we might just grunt occasionally to make it clear we're still listening, but probably rely more on facial expressions/eye contact to convey that info.

so in essence your argument is that management needs to care about performance because most end users have devices that are not powerful enough to process all that javascript, based on this technical argument i found hidden in a footnote:

JavaScript-delivered UI strips the browser of its ability to meaningfully reorder and slice up work so that it prioritises responsiveness and smooth animations. JavaScript is the "fuck it, we'll do it live" way to construct UI, and stresses the relative performance of a single core more than competing approaches. Because JavaScript is, byte for byte, the most expensive thing you can ask a browser to process

that's fine. as an independent developer i don't care much for the management problems in large teams, so maybe this topic is not for me. i need to make the tradeoffs between engineering and product performance, development cost and client budget all by myself, and hence am looking to technical solutions to find the right tradeoff.

what i am missing on the technical side of the argument is how "fuck it, we'll do it live" relates to latency.

my expectation is that while device performance increases continuously and becomes cheaper, latency on the other hand does not improve as fast.

Is it moral for a city to control how I price my products? Is it moral for that same city to give me nothing when renters stop paying rent and utterly destroy my property before they leave after many months or years of mandated delays?

Many industrial processes use gas as feedstock as well as for thermal energy. You can replace for thermal energy, but as feedstock, you have to use electricity to process some other matter into feedstock.

People don't seem to realise natural gas, like oil, is used as input to make petrochemicals, despite petro being a big clue.

Can't speak to the strawmaning. I observe German industry includes pharmaceutical, plastics and fertiliser. These need feedstock.
If you just want my idle speculation, my personal guess is that diseases did exist in the Americas, but 1) we lack the ability to see them in the record and 2) the dynamics of how those diseases originated/spread is significantly different between afroeurasia and the new world.

One of the problems with archaeology is that things have to be archeologically visible in order for us to realize they exist. Diseases usually don't leave skeletal evidence and many American cultures were big on cremation besides. It's only under very unique circumstances with certain diseases (e.g. the mummies with tuberculosis mentioned previously) that we can clearly see the evidence to say "hey, these people died in a disease outbreak". In Eurasia we rely heavily on literary sources to supplement this issue, but we have few American sources and they're mostly focused on other things.

The nature of continents is also substantially different. The Americas were hugely affected by late quaternary extinctions that destroyed the mammalian diversity, a main factor in zoonotic transmission [1]. The places where that diversity exists post-LGM like the Amazon basin are very remote and their pre-Columbian history is not well studied, let alone the history of disease there. We have little understanding of how they integrated into broader American trade networks either.
Eurasia's biodiversity is spread across large areas of the continent, which happen to be crossed by continental trade routes. If plague had originated in Venezuela instead of from rodents in central Asia, we might not even know about historical outbreaks and simply label it a new disease when modern farmers in the highlands caught it.

Thinking about it, it's strange that hashlib doesn't have a function that accepts a file-object as input, to make the efficient method default pit of success. Naive implementations like hash(f.read()) are all too common to see. Such an api would also allow the entirety of the tight loop to be done outside of slow interpreted code.

Guessing the rationale is that if you read a file, you also want to use the content for something else, not only compute its hash.
OK, but that option doesn't exist here currently. So in the actual situation we're living in, are you actually saying that you think it's wrong/evil for a person to choose to invest in a rental property? IE buying a house for the purpose of renting it out? Because I know a lot of people renting and looking to rent who wish more people would do that.
Not knowing much about DNA, it seems weird to me that it's assumed the primary purpose of DNA is to encode for proteins. Sure, that's one of its functions, but it would be just as misguided as assuming that bits only exist to encode text, and when they encode anything else, it's seen as some extraordinary exception to the norm.

One of my favorite lesser benefits of using NixOS is that running a big system upgrade doesn't even stop you from installing software while it's running. Realize you need a new program while your system upgrade is running? No problem! Add it to your NixOS configuration for posterity if you like, then run it in a Nix shell or install it to your user profile. No need to interrupt the upgrade or wait until it's over.
