> It is absolutely a rent control and price control policy. You are literally preventing rents from rising.

As both the article and the GP pointed out, rent stabilization does allow for rents to increase.

Are you trying to say they aren't allowed to increase enough, or are you under the impression they don't rise at all?
Interesting. Surely the price includes some amount of markup however?

> should I be able to demand that every restaurant have a separate, peanut-free kitchen

Why stop there? There also needs to be a separate nut-free section of the restaurant for dining. Inaccessibility is frustrating but nuts are deadly!
This feels like another of those cases where some random guy on the internet intimates that with just a few moments' consideration they've uncovered a fatal flaw in a huge study (500k actual, 2m control) conducted and reviewed by experts.

Specifically to your implication - if you're suggesting the chronic stress came from having COVID, then it's a valid side-effect of the disease. OTOH if it's a background effect of the pandemic, then (naively) I'd suggest that with those cohort numbers it's naturally controlled for, as both the 500k and the 2m demographics both lived / are living through the same pandemic.

EDIT: if you're concerned with the tone of my first paragraph, please click on parent's profile to understand my phrasing choice.
If so, that's quite stupid. That's more money that the richest person in the world has, and it's incommensurate with the impact of Jones's behavior. It serves nobody- not even the families whose children were killed.

This feels like the kind of project where "it made me laugh the most" is as good a reason as anything else. I sure laughed when I got to that part.
Supposedly, everyone's been with this team and company a "long time." They don't have much in the ways of recent departures.

The analogy is fine, as it applies to my example of an AI handling the entire course load of your average college student. Math, science, creative writing, etc...
Personification is a special case of reification, but it is the underlying issue. We reify signifiers based on memories.
Though still relevant, this is old stuff.

Nowadays many of the largest forums are simply captured, by a dedicated team working to a script with dozens of alts. Once you have complicit moderators, this stuff is lame in comparison.

Once your guy / team has mod control, you can change the entire culture and tone of the forum, as soft or as hard as you like, and ban complainers.

You can make posts invisible to search engines, or remove posts for a couple hours and then put them back once the algorithm is bored of them. You can wipe posts entirely, give no explanation, and wipe the posts that complain.

If you think people wouldn't bother to do this, think again. There's significant amounts of money and political capital involved. What PR company or major political party wouldn't want control of a national subreddit that keeps making corruption and cover-ups hard to control?
That's just it -- I don't think there are any great interfaces, yet. Jupyter scratches only the surface of what literate experimental coding could be.

I also have a back-of-napkin argument that the field is due for an invention as revolutionary to ML as the beizer handle was to vector art, or the spreadsheet was to money management.

I'm interested conceptually in eventually leveraging eg VR and sonification for aid in exploring very-high-dimensional datasets.

Meanwhile, yes, there is a lot of just nuts/bolts Good Design to worry about. :)
Ask HN: What are the big success stories of AI/ML so far?
By success story I do not mean some bombasitic headline in the news that comes with a lot of fine print. I mean actual products in the real world that work really well.

The only one I know of is language translation. Google/Microsoft Translate are terrible, but DeepL is surprisingly good. And I know of other products in this market that are really good.
Transferable mortgages would be great or even just carry mortgages - if you are in a 300k house on a 3% mortgage you should be able to swap house (assuming all approvals and stuff) to another 300k house and keep the mortgage.

Might cause rates to rise a bit but probably worth it.
So does sales techniques.

I bet there are lots of salesmen who are effective without a psychology degree. Yet one would not call an effective salesman a scientist.

I'm just continuing to play the devil's advocate here, appreciate your input :)
I feel like I'm wasting my time here if no one wants to learn or discuss how to improve things in a concrete way.

One of my coworkers flat-out said he "Just here for a job and to go home at the end of the day." No curiosity, not interested in learning, and they don't have a software development background.

I'm looking for contacts in other departments, making notes of what sort of pain points there are at-scale, and trying to meet people who are outside the department.
How is that related to hair loss?
To be clear then, it wasn't "essentialy every Apple employee in this position", it was one person who posted on a message board.
Lots of red flags. I’d chalk it up to a learning experience and move on.
Wouldn’t that make them less accessible?

Apple charges $99-179 for a battery replacement in the US.

Do you think that is too much to extend the life of your iPad for another few years or do you think that you wouldn’t get the extra value out of the extended life due to the chance that apple stops supporting it iOS wise?
You could do this: Restaurants would be eligible for a tax credit against earnings if they can show themselves to be accessible. The tax credit part would hopefully prevent abuse by businesses, and also make it so that only restaurants that are able to implement this efficiently would do it. Simply raise the tax credit until a sufficient number of restaurants take the carrot. You might have to do something to ensure sufficient geographic distribution.
I have a colleague designer and UX researcher who uses her iPad Pro with the pencil to generate beautiful sketches and collections of materials and thoughts. They quickly become the centerpiece of our conversations because an iPad laying flat on the table is much less invasive than a screen with webpages, keyboard, presentations etc.

My spouse on the other hand is a more traditional graphic and type designer. She uses a iPadPro/Pencil/MacMini combination to effortlessly go from simple sketches to illustrator sort of drawings. The quality and speed of her work just increased radically with that combination, and she’s not very technical.

My dad, who is a very very old retired design professor has always accumulated incomprehensible piles of sketches on pieces of paper. He is one of those guys who was always an early adopter for styluses with PalmPilots and whatnot. But based on those experiences he was firmly against any sort of stylus. But when he saw how well this one works, his iPad basically replaced his computer and all those pieces of paper. He taught drawing for design classes for half his career and doesn’t stop talking about how great it is.

I guess there is a common denominator here - it’s a really really sleek tool for anyone who uses the hand for drawing visual shapes. It’s especially attractive to the kinds of users that need focus on just one thing at a time. And it’s just a super friendly sort of device.

Personally however, I can’t imagine not using my laptop for everything. I owned an iPad at one point but not drawing anything I don’t see the point.
Googling, looks like they are in fact on the pricey side.
> Taking a bath on a home sale isn't the only solution. Make it easier for people to build houses. The majority of old houses were built by the first owner. They bought land and built a house the way they wanted not following thousands of regulations dictating how a home must be built. If you build a shitty house, well, good luck selling it. If it falls down thats your own damn fault. All of the ways we have learned over time that houses can be built better should just be shared knowledge and recommendations for somebody wanting to build a house. Every requirement a builder must follow means it costs more to build and less people are capable of following all the rules. Where I live if you build something that doesn't follow code you get fined for every infraction. That's a disincentive for people to build.

> Remove costly regulations and you get more houses.

There's a YouTube channel.. our little homestead I think is the name.

They built separate studio apartments for each of their kids on the same lot.

They used earth bags and the costs for one was 5k, the other 8k and they're pretty amazing for being something sturdy and safe to live in, and being made of dirt and mud I think they're probably fire proof too.

This is what I want to do.

I'd also like to help other's do that through a collective or something where everyone builds their own home and helps others build theirs.
The permitting process would become much easier if actual voters had to go through it regularly instead of just paying someone to do it for them.

The traditional pension systems (defined benefit programs) have turned out to be very vulnerable to insolvency. Hence the transition to defined contribution programs, like 401ks and IRAs.

SS is a defined benefit program. Its insolvency is a problem with all such systems, including the ones you advocate for.
Just put it in your GDPR disclaimer that you send all of your users online time, location, interest, activity on the site, and unique identifiers to attach these data with other data to a foreign countries company for no actual reason; and if they don't want that they cannot do anything about it, and you are fine. Also the GDPR law is only 6 years old I think if you say you've never heard of it, you can get away with that.
I bought my first iPad with LTE a couple of years ago. I signed up for LTE service only twice (each for a month while traveling).

What I subsequently realized was that if I have my ipad with me out of the house I will also have my phone with me, and tethering to the phone was trivial and worked just as well.

So when I eventually replace this ipad I don't imagine I will buy 5G support.
If that's the case, then what exactly was the justification for mandates?

Hiring freeze "officially". There's a promise from the director (my manager's manager) that I would be able to change teams either internally or in a different department if it doesn't work out. I don't know what that promise is worth, because I feel like I'm being gaslighted that "there's no problem" and "everyone in the team is nice."

Edit: Also, the senior people aren't interested in career advancement and I can't interest them in what comes after the craptastic technical debt we're working on supposedly cleaning up. I've been told not to touch X and Y because it's "special code". I feel like my hands are being tied behind my back and being setup to fail.
Wow, so the rate at which the price of RENT is increasing is being subject to CONTROLS?

In any case, the exact same economic phenomena has been observed regardless of if you fix rent increases to inflation or never allow for rents to increase, because the two approaches are just incredibly similar variants of price controls.

Then presuming you use Firefox, the only viable non-Chromium alternative that’s mature enough to fit your implicit preference, you’re surely aware there are a wide variety of things not supported in that browser too. If you’re inclined to look for patterns, you’ll find that quite a lot of them overlap with Safari—either for the same privacy-respecting reasons, or the same standards process-respecting reasons, or the same second implementation in the standardization process reasons.

It’s good that both browsers are a hindrance to Google just shipping stuff and that stuff becoming a de facto web standard. It’s even good that they have different priorities because that gives them different perspectives from which to catch mistakes before they’re almost totally irreversible.
If you want to do it with a law, then the government should pay for it, not punish people for providing benefit to others.

My guess is the closest thing to coordinated "psyops" that HN has ever seen is when an aspiring "founder" asks a group of his buddies to upvote his post and make accounts to give praise or ask softball questions (which I have seen).

But it feels like in every controversial discussion there are accusations of being a shill or astroturfer or whatever in the pay of the enemy. I've been occasionally accused of this myself. I think it's just a lazy substitute for debate rather than an accusation that's actually been thought out or is even believed in any way.

I have no insight into how psyops are run, but I find the idea of an agent springing into action because a HN article critical of or praising X has just come along. Who knows I guess...
What makes you think pensions are going to work?
> Anyone can do framing or hang drywall.

The USA has enough cheap and cheerful (aka "shit") housing already. The last thing we need are people with no building skills building crappy stud framed square boxes. If they have to build, let it be more quirky and individual, and if they don't, lets try to keep pushing building standards forwards, not backwards towards the level that Jill & Joe Everyman will likely (not necessarily, just likely) operate at.

AEG/AXS owns a number of large venues like the Oakland Coliseum + Arena, LA Crypto.com arena, and London O2. Presumably those are ticketed through AXS rather than Live Nation/Ticketmaster.

An interesting thing about AXS tickets is that they are presented using a smartphone app and are only valid for something like 60s before they need to be refreshed. This presumably makes tickets harder to resell outside of AXS's system.
I grew up hearing Elijay in the context of jokes about mountain people, now it’s in a hip newsletter. I've watched this project slowly come together while offering little bits of advice as I could on Mastodon. It's been cool to see.
running a local resolver that validates DNSSEC is all well and good for the HN crowd, but for the 99.9% of people that do not know what DNS is, let alone what a "stub resolver" is, DNSSEC would be more of a hinderance than help.

also, it'd receive enormous pushback from governments if microsoft/apple were to start validating DNS, as it would prevent them from blocking sites in the most common way, rewriting DNS queries for illegal sites (for example, in australia, we have blocks on various torrent sites like thepiratebay)

When your code is wrong, the server gives you a clue hinting at what's wrong in the original code.

It doesn't know what's wrong in the code you submitted... it is not understanding deeply what's wrong with your code. It's not some huge multi-terabyte language model analyzing arbitrary code, or whatever.

It just knows your code is wrong and gives you a clue so you can try again.

In 48 states in the US, if you complain, the establishment has N days to fix it. Otherwise, you can sue.

In the other two states (California and New York) there are cottage industries where people look for subtle infractions (even at businesses that have made good faith efforts to comply with the ADA), then file shake down suits.

I bought an ipad air in 2014 and it received software updates until the ios being released next week. So that's 8 or 8 1/2 years of support -- not bad!

The Air 2 really felt like the perfect ipad at the time and in many ways still does. I have a new 2021 ipad air because I wanted and use the pencil 2 for taking notes. But even though the new one is only about 25 g heavier and has narrower bezels, when I pick up old one (yes, still use it) it just feels lighter and more convenient.
Prefab/modular is a thing, it isn’t really cheaper yet, but there are niche cases where they have benefits over stick builds. Quality, for example, can be better with prefab, since QA in the factory might be better than QA on-site.

In libertarianism, the non-aggression principle is not a commitment to pacifism. When someone trespasses on someone else's property, the trespasser is considered the initial aggressor, and the property owner is within their right to remove the trespasser from the property.

> Consider the following hypothetical example:

>> Trespass: George is walking across a field when David jumps out
from behind a bush, grabs him, and gently but forcefully removes him
from the area.

> In this example, it certainly looks as though David is the one committing
an act of aggression against George. After all, George is simply walking
along, minding his own business, when David comes from out of nowhere,
physically lays hands on him, and drags him off the field.

> But suppose that the field in this example is David’s property, and that
George is knowingly trespassing across it. In that case it is clear that
most libertarians would say that it is actually George who has committed
aggression. David’s violence, they would say, is simply an appropriate
response to George’s impermissible intrusion upon his land.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/social-philosophy-an...

Libertarians oppose expropriation and eminent domain because the government is the one initiating the aggression against the property owner by forcible seizure. (Although libertarians support limiting the power of the state, it is not the same thing as eliminating the state entirely. That would be anarchism, not libertarianism.)
The results of these experiments indirectly tell us something about our chances of ever meeting aliens:

* No physical collapse => Everett interpretation AKA "many worlds"

* Many worlds gives us the Anthropic Principle for free

* The Anthropic Principle explains the origin of the first living organism, or, to put it another way, the observed existence of the origin of our first living ancestor does _not_ set any lower bound on the probability of the first living organism developing from non-living molecules.

* A very low probability of the origin of life implies the non-existence of any other life in the observable universe.

* Therefore, no aliens.

(The aliens do of course exist in other parts of the total Universal Wave Function, but we never get to meet them.)

The US gets this right (businesses can only be successfully sued if they ignore complaints). California and New York are the only states where you can sue for damages before giving the business a chance to fix it. Those are the states where the ADA is abused.
