I'm sure that will go just fine with vendors and creditors

Public housing in Singapore is affordable if you win the ballot for a new unit. Otherwise the secondary market is allowed to float and basically the only restriction is that they must be sold to Singaporeans (i.e. citizens or permanent residents). I don't think it's really done much to curb the exuberance, there's plenty of talk of flipping these units once the minimum occupancy period (5 years) is up.

What I find weird is that humans do the same and no one mentions that; I have 2 professional (they have lived of it for decades) artist friends; one makes Giger art (paintbrush, exactly the same style but no copies, original but if you see it you are going to say Giger) and another one Vermeer, same thing. There is no discussion if that’s moral or legal, what’s the difference? The Giger one has bought a farm of GPUs a few months ago and is adding training to models for animations. He loves it.

Same with copilot; people copy shit from GitHub and SO all the time without mentioning copyrights and a lot of code people cough up is just ‘stolen’ from someone without remembering who/where it was; what’s the difference?
It does produce CO2. They just hope to store or contain it.
Please don't. You can generate the H2 once. We need the infrastructure to produce our worldwide energy demand regeneratively anyway, so why take this risk?
Houses aren't being build which is the reason we're in trouble.

And no, investors won't buy up all the houses. Blackrock's massive home buying fund was <1% of the total value of the housing market.

Financial leveraging is risk. You can lose your principal. Investors pay for building new homes too.

Speculators do need to get burned periodically to correct bubbles though. Especially now. Making money because you bought sooner than someone else could (practically enshrined in the California constitution) is not really adding value so on average should not pay off any better than inflation.
I haven’t seen those calculations but I’m very skeptical. The reason people are profitably able to invest in housing is that it is scarce. If the supply increased, housing would no longer be a desirable investment.

> what makes you think the market is not working and new houses are not being built at the highest possible pace

There’s a lot of political pressure by existing homeowners not to green light additional housing in their neighborhoods, because it would bring the price of the homes they already own down. There are a number of high-density projects in NYC and SF that have been blocked by these efforts.

So the options are extreme eye strain due to lights/sun/my own reflection, or extreme back pain due to having to sit like a prawn to hide the light from the laptop? I'd take slightly lower visual quality (doesn't matter in the slightest for what i do on a screen) over either of those.

> Roughly 550k homeless and roughly 16M vacant homes.

> Someone did an analysis and the true number of vacant homes someone can move into is like 10% of that figure.

If that 10% figure from the analysis of San Fransisco applies to the entire country (and I recognize it may not), then the 550k homeless would be compared to 1.6M homes, or still ~3x the number of houses we would need to house every homeless person in the country. That 3x gives us a fair amount of wiggle-room, for the analysis not being replicable across the country.

My main point is not that we should seize an arbitrary number of houses and house homeless people in them, but rather that homelessness is both a choice that we've made as a society and as government policy.

We absolutely have the wealth that we could choose not to have homelessness in the country. And it's a stain on our society that we choose to have homelessness.
Exponential growth means you could use a few hundred cells per type I guess.

Worth repeating again, AWS, Azure and GCP are all adding capacity, and new Datacenter as fast as they could. We have enough demand to drive the next two generation of leading edge node. That is TSMC N3 and N2. And I assume it will be similar in N1.4 or 14A.
But basic shelter is frequently available but ask homeless individuals why they don't use it. It can be unsafe, even trying to learn about the shelter or queuing up for access is unsafe as these areas are frequently overrun by dangerous elements for vulnerable populations. Ask hotel owners how it worked being forced to house homeless during the pandemic and various other times.

This is a complex issue no doubt, but it is the height of nativity to think we can use existing underutilized housing stock to solve or even help the existing homeless crisis. We have frequently tried it with poor results and poor outcomes. It is very very very hard to meaningfully address the existing homeless epidemic, which is intimately tied up with the opioid, general drug, and mental health epidemics, none of which we have any reasonable answers for.
I respect you for doing the work, and you should definitely keep a copy for next time, but it is pretty much what I expected: the "balanced start" from "across the political spectrum" is expected to impress us into nodding along, and never to hold up to close inspection. Which of course it does not. It's the bullshit asymmetry principle at work: even if you do refute, you have been bogged down wasting time defending on that.

It is a confidence trick, as the idea that a popular uprising against an unpopular government "must be the US's fault" is inherently laughable, even before we saw how hard the Ukrainian people have since fought to keep what they won then.

> You can't think well without writing well, and you can't write well without reading well.

Overall this short essay resonates with my own views. But Paul does not mention an intermediary step: reflection. Here on HN, we've discussed one of the mechanism for reflection, or our internal dialogue that germinates ideas.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

So in closing, for me at least, the stage of writing is not the only formative stage of thought.

We read, we conduct an internal debate, and then we write. So read, and write, but don't forget to also reflect.
Although that is a desirable use case; the important question to me is whether that is actually what is happening. I'm from Australia and our housing case is much worse than in most of the world. I know a lot of people who have enormous mortgages, and I can swear to the fact that none of the money they borrowed went to construction. They were paying to queue-jump people more like me who refuse to deal in debt.

Which I can respect. But I think debt avoidance strategies will win out in the long term, on average. Unless they cheat and use debt to get ahead, then get it discharged by some political trick.

You can’t innovate without breaking backwards compatibility. C++ is an evolutionary dead end that collapses under its own complexity, deal with it.
The basic pattern is that new investor homes can't even be rented. The investor rather chooses to keep it in pristine condition and sell it later at a much higher price. At least in big German cities, this is what I heard.

Crypto already is a partisan issue. There are those gullibule enough to think tokens can hold inherent value and those that don't fall prey to said crypto schemes.

Everyone I have talked to in the last year who is willing to speak up for Crypto is weak minded enough to fall for the Maga bullshit train. Its just another way to sell false hope of a big payday, ponzi schemes that people love to gamble on...

Compared to a half decade ago, when those who spoke up for crypto in Seattle were just programmers with a libertarian bent, it's a big change of pace.
One major issue is that you need a considerable acceleration to achieve a velocity sufficient for orbit - and unlike a rocket, a space gun would need to achieve that on the ground.

It would also need to achieve a very high speed for the object at almost ground level, in a dense atmosphere with high friction.

Both would require a fairly sturdy payload, but you want space payloads to be comparatively delicate so you need to put less mass into orbit.

A centrifuge at least deals with the first issue since the required acceleration is independent from the centrifuges size, you just make more rounds. Still need to deal with the centrifugal force, though.
In my experience, it depends heavily on the kind of thing you're writing. I could write some small programs in it, no problem: a rather complex, text-based calculator was easy and elegant to write with function arguments, a game server monitor, some tools for a cryptography course, an FFT analyzer that reads from WAV or AIFF, etc. Then I tried to port my rather efficient Earley parser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earley_parser) from C. Constructing the item set efficiently wasn't that hard, but constructing the forest (set of syntactic trees) was. In C, it was basically free by using some pointer sharing, but I couldn't get that done in Rust. Perhaps there's some clever trick I couldn't think of, but I couldn't get it anywhere near C's speed. And since the ultimate goal of that parser includes further memory shenanigans (unification of results yielded by the rules), I dropped the project.

At my job, I'm writing in Go. I fairly sure I could easily port the C code to that. It would probably run a bit slower, but the algorithm and data structures would be readable, and extendable.

So: it depends.
If you're going to use Rust in web anything at all, the backend is the first place you'd think of. You can use Rust in the frontend but it's not exactly a smooth experience. Rust is a systems language.

As your second paragraph is saying, "risk" isn't inherently valuable. That's also what the GP is saying, you just might disagree on the situations it applies to.
But I do pay more. I had to purchase an entire house and pay taxes on it.

There is no shortage of houses here in farmland France or up in rural north England[1], which explains why houses are cheap enough that you can buy two of them. That’s the housing market working like it’s supposed to. Why does it need punishing or incentivising?

[1] there are towns within a few miles with hundreds of boarded up row houses that you could get for a few thousand pounds if you like. Our village in France is surrounded by fields as far as you can see in two directions. If you want to come live here, you can (and people often do) buy a small piece of that land and build a house.

The easy pattern of graph structures is handled by the easy implementation of adjacency lists, which is how you should have been implementing it in other languages too. The specific incompatibility is with the naïve hand-implementations of these structures; the specific thing Rust does not optimize for is toy code.

> that people's gender identities, biochemical makeup, and surgical history are obviously completely irrelevant to complete strangers

At least in the UK, this became a matter of renewed public interest for two reasons: firstly, a proposed reform of the law to remove all gatekeeping from the process of changing one's 'legal sex', and secondly, an appalling case of several imprisoned women being sexually assaulted by a man (Karen White) who had been incarcerated alongside them due to having a 'legal sex' of female.

It was left-wing feminist groups, who organised largely offline to begin with, that reignited this debate. This wasn't some artefact of social media raging, it was a grassroots effort to halt and reverse a change in the law due to its clearly negative effects on women.

This is also a debate that has been ongoing for decades, long before social media websites even existed. Janice Raymond wrote what turned out to be a quite prophetic book on this topic in the 1970s, for instance. Renée Richards was stirring controversy in women's tennis at around the same time. Much of what you'll hear on this topic these days has already been covered by radical feminists for many years prior.
I've been thinking about a self-hosted setup that has public issues but private code. Apparently Gogs supports this, while Gitea has had an open request for it since 2017ish.
There are a lot of Scotsmen in Scotland, and in my experience they are diverse: I have met socialists and internationalist Europhiles there, and also ethnonationalist racists. Point is, monolithic assertions about "we" or "they" aren't ever completely true.

I'm not in the USA, I got onto masks quite early. But I think that we still lag badly in anti-covid ventilation systems, while still over-emphasising hand-washing.

Some of the best people on the topic (of our evolving understanding of COVID, not of Scotsmen) have in fact been relative outsiders (i.e. neither medical researchers nor crazed conspiracists). I'm thinking particularly of Zeynep Tufekci on Airborne transmission, e.g.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/why-arent... https://sils.unc.edu/news/2021/tufekci-lancet
Yes. At some point large swaths of US populace will be asked to choose between housing, food and life saving drugs in an ultimate rent-seeking race of the 21st century.

Hopefully, at some point people will finally say "enough is enough" and make the necessary constitutional corrections.

That’s an extraordinary leap.

Using Relational Problems to Teach Property-Based Testing
On this debate people are confusing artistic illustration skills with creating art. An artist created this artwork at the state fair, not the AI. The artist had a vision, directed the AI towards that outcome and selected the result they wanted.

Some very famous artist exposed in museums today don’t physically hold the tools that « make » the artwork, they direct a team of assistants who act as their hands. Some like to hold the paintbrush themselves but they don’t have to and that’s why it’s not a criteria for whether they are the artist or not.

Much like a movie director directing a team to create a movie doesn’t hold the mic boom or deal with the photography themselves. They orchestrate other humans into creating the piece of art they have envisioned.

This is exactly the same. Instead of a known visual artist directing art students to fabricate the artwork they’ve envisioned, the artist directs the AI.
What about rain shedding off your jacket onto your pants? This has totally been an issue for me and in inclement weather I wear (non breathable) rain pants (apparently the right word is bibs).

Then again you only say to put on a t-shirt and a jacket, no mention of pants -- I guess that's one way to solve the problem.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. As I guess you know writing concisely isn't easy. I mainly write about design, for designers. I can't remember having every seen anyone recommend a volunteer-driven FOSS application _for its UI design_ over commercial alternatives. I do hear people complaining about free tools for being annoying to use. As such, I didn't consider it necessary to make the case that volunteer-driven FOSS is badly designed—I wanted to share what reasons I found for _how_ that came to be.

tl:dr; users should not be frustrated with FOSS and developers should not be frustrated with users using proprietary alternatives, because we'd have to live in a completely different alternative universe for that to be different.

My agenda is that I want more non-developers to be involved in FOSS, so that volunteer-driven FOSS projects get more traction.

On the contrary, we've found as you actually build housing, prices go down (or at least rise more slowly) and homelessness goes down.

This argument is a variant of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. You can improve the lot of many long before you need to solve all addictions.
