Sure, but durable goods aren't necessarily investment goods. Homes do depreciate in value- their quality declines and they become increasingly expensive to maintain, and they simply don't have the same amenities as newly-built homes without increasingly expensive remodeling.

What makes "homes" appreciate in value is almost never the building itself, it is the land.
> only including data from users who have turned on "Make searches and browsing better (Sends URLs of pages you visit to Google)"

One big problem there is that we don't know what percentage of users for whom "turned on" is a euphemism for "didn't notice."
I don't follow. If the algorithm is SHA1(SHA256(X)) all an attacker can modify is X. Yes it's possible to find a SHA1() collision, but finding X where the SHA256() will generate a collision -- that is SHA1(SHA256(X)) == SHA1(SHA256(Y)) -- is still required.

The question is does the SHA1 step make this any easier?

Don't you still have to either break SHA256 (predicting the hash it will generate) or do this by brute force?
That makes sense after a fashion, but a culture of maintenance and repair is valuable in wartime.
What kind of latency are you talking about? Async latency for completing a task isn’t deterministic, and there’s no guarantee data will be processed as soon as it becomes available. Async runtimes rely heavily on hints from their tasks as to when to poll next.

Generally, low latency means producing a result as soon as possible. Threads are ideal for that case, expending spinning cpu time for asap processing.

The best description I’ve heard of async is concurrent waiting, vs concurrent processing for threads (from the excellent zero2prod book).

that's still going to have the effect of lowering property values though.

it's a catch-22. "lowering the cost of housing" and "lowering property values" are the exact same thing. there's no actual political appetite to lower the cost of housing, because all the people in charge of making those decisions are property owners who don't want to see their investment lose value.

I've read that good generals worry about tactics and great generals worry about logistics.

Good programmers play code golf, great programmers write readable and maintainable code.

Your example seems reasonable but programmers also like to act like the smartest one in the room. I often come across tricky and borderline obfuscated code because somebody wanted to look clever. This is a logistical nightmare.
That's not really true. Individual people make all sorts of investments that in expectation grow but still carry risk. A system where renters pay risk premiums to landlords is a fine marketplace. A system where landlords insist on carrying minimal risk while also using risk as an argument for extracting money from their renters is garbage.

The truth is that the price of rent is utterly disconnected from the value of a landlord's labor plus the various premiums you'd pay for risk smoothing, lower transaction overhead, and opportunity cost. Landlords simply charge whatever they can get away with and we should all laugh at attempts by landlords to justify their rent through any argument other than "fuck you, pay me." After all, I've never heard of a landlord reducing the rent when they finish paying off their mortgage.

Once we at least have this shared understanding we can start having a real conversation about the merits and costs of the system we have today, rather than this fake conversation about how landlords are so nice for paying for that new roof.

That's what they're saying: if someone says anything more complicated is faster, they challenge them to benchmark it. Usually, it turns out whoever argues the "is faster" point doesn't bother to benchmark it and the simpler code-wise thing wins out. So yes - the benchmark goes to performance, simplicity is in lines-of-code, cyclomatic, "in the eye of the beholder" or whatever other metric you choose, but usually it's obvious.
If you're looking to buy a LineageOS-compatible phone and are unsure which model(s) to consider, I try to generate an automated buying recommendation (updated daily) from LineageOS's wiki data, available here: https://johannes.truschnigg.info/tmp/lineageos_device_toplis...

The ranking is an expression of my personal preference - with a recently-released phone, it's more likely to receive firmware- and driver-level fixes in proprietary bits that make the phone tick. The number of devs (hopefully) translates into continued support by the project even in the face of single developers abandoning a particular device they maintain.

That's not evidence that money for maintenance has been redirected.

Prove the money was redirected and that the new funding amount for maintenance is insufficient that it caused the rust you specified, and that the rust levels are greater than other time periods.

You want to me to look at a photo of rust and get mad and then believe you about funding?
I'm not talking about truly rural areas. I'm talking about suburbs and developments where a significant number of children live. Living in town is in fact suburban or even urban depending on the density.

Honestly the walking thing is BS. CA was the last hold out. I believe all states now take the reasonable approach of it only being a crime if you impede traffic, or if you choose to walk in the stret when there is a sidewalk available.

Yes, there are parenting laws that are overbearing. This is not an urban vs rural thing given that those laws cover both areas (varies by state).

The biggest factor is mindset. Kids can have varying levels of autonomy depending on a number of factors. Not having a car only prevents autonomy for those who lack imagination.
It isn't necessary to revamp the entire economy. Things can be done one line at a time. All that's necessary is realigning cost and tax incentives so the costs reflect the actual cost (including externalities like pollution) rather than the grossly distorted subsidy system we currently have. The rest will take care of itself.

FWIW, a moment's reflection suggests this is not new.

The dawn of the "modern era" in the west is attributed to the rise of Jesus, and, forgive me but what are the various stories of Jesus other than total ridiculous bullshit- reincarnation, "immaculate conception", all the other nonsense- intended to build and maintain the social and financial control structures that existed at the time?

I have not studied concrete instances of bullshit in the middle ages but the post-Enlightenment (a bullshit term if ever there was one) was riddled with bullshit. And then the late 1800s in the US featured "snake oil salesman" and "wildcat banking"- these sales pitches are literally indistinguishable from those described in the article.

Technology changes the diffusion rate and potentially the effectiveness of the art of the bullshitter (debatable) but the art itself is ancient.
But wouldn't there be an additional tax advantage:

Suppose that we have a company buying houses and an individual buying a house using his salary. In order to move money from a company to an individual income tax must be paid and if a company instead invests its money, I assume that no tax is paid immediately.

Consequently if companies start bidding for houses, they will have much more money available than individuals, ensuring that houses will in the long run hardly ever be owned by individuals.

The result would thus be large company-owned estates, filled with renters.

Hmm in that case I think your argument doesn't make sense. "Good investment" regarding purchasing your own home is in comparison to renting. The price of the home doesn't need to go up for it to be a good place to put money, nor does it require any sort of "Ponzi scheme". It only requires the total price of maintenance not exceed the price of forever paying rent.

“Interesting” is inherently subjective, and relative specifically to the interests of some specific entity or group. When the Austrian Federal Computing Centre says something is “interesting”, it is shaped by the needs and constraints of the Austrian Federal Computing Centre.

What is interesting to you may be different, because you probably have different interests than the Austrian Federal Computing Centre.
Several people in the twitter threads have commented that the "crew" on deck and the fact that the non-skid has been scrapped off means this ship is actually in harbor for maintenance. So yes if you scrape off the rust protection, I'd expect it to rust.

>This seems orthogonal to me. If you allow pointers, then linear types don't help you either, right?

Unsafe pointers should exist at the FFI boundary and be wrapped in a linear API. Every language has a "escape hatch" for this purpose, and you ultimately have to rely on practices to constrain it. You can call malloc in any language.

>But if the compiler can verify that a value is used exactly once, then why can't it verify that a value is destructed? We mark a function as a destructor and the compiler verifies that the value is passed to a destructor exactly once.

The problem is the compiler can't verify it. In a Turing complete language, it's simply impossible to do it in a general way without restrictions. Every language that has compile time memory safety (Austral, Rust, Cyclone, a few others) imposes restrictions to make the analysis tractable.

>I'm probably missing this, but this also seems orthogonal. It seems like Capabilities are implemented with different types. The Filesystem type is different from the Path type, and you get different capabilities depending on which type you get. This has nothing to do with linear types.

Capabilities have to be linear so that they can't be copied surreptitiously:

https://austral-lang.org/spec/spec.html#rationale-cap

>I'd like to know more about this, because it sounds cool.

There's some examples in the post. The state machine is the state of the file handle and the linear types ensure only valid transitions can be used.

>This also sounds cool. Do you have a code example off the top of your head?

Not something existing I can point to. But if you have a function:

generic [T: Type]
function reverse(list: List[T]): List[T]

If `List` is linear then this can use in place reversal while the interface is referentially transparent. Because for the type system, the list that goes in is consumed, and cannot be used again, and the list that comes out is a brand new linear type. It just happens to use the same storage.
No the entire market is going to change and if I know my risks are going to change, I’m going to increase rent.

It’s going to increase prices and/or reduce supply as not as much capital flows in.

People may not want landlords. But everyone doesn’t want to own a home. By definition, they want to rent from someone else - ie have a landlord.
> Not char/byte C strings. You might be thinking of wchar_t strings.

No I’m talking about the classic byte arrays C pretends are strings. If the receiver you are talking to is not expecting a chain of bytes where each byte is a character and one special value means the chain is over, well, you will have to transform what you are sending to what your receiver is expecting.

The power came from "free" CDN as loss leader (which is clever because the long tail of readerless sites costs essentially nil to cache but will still bump up the NPS).

It’s not about carrying minimum risk. When you carry more risk, you expect a larger return - you increase the rent. Which hurts the people you are trying to help

> It's perfectly possible to allow equality in ranked choice voting systems, so A > B = C > D.

While this is easy to write down it isn't easy to tabulate. You must provide a new tallying algorithm (you'll find that important features break).

> But what happens in your cardinal voting system, if D and C are the front runners in competition for a single seat?

I'm a bit confused what you're asking here. There are no voting systems where a single vote/rank permutation/rating will not change the outcome of an election. To do so would mean votes are being wasted. Yes, there are people that will be upset in these situations just like people are upset in a close sports game. But unlike a close sports game we have a higher expectation that the teams that win like this are more likely to be similar. That is candidate C's voters frequently like candidate D (your ordering even suggests that despite the example ballot being from someone on the other side of the political isle). The point is to get someone that is the most representative. In the end, it shouldn't matter what a single voter's preference is, it matters what the collective preference is. That's why we vote in the first place. So that's why I'm confused.

But maybe you should click on the montonicity link. You may also find this link[0] interesting. It is also extremely important that we remember that no voting system is perfect. So if you're going to put down a voting system because you've found a flaw you'll never be happy with a system unless you lie to yourself. It also means that if you're arguing with someone and point out a flaw you need to attempt to convince the person why that flaw (and others) are important in comparison to the upsides/downsides of the other competing system/s. Discussing voting systems is difficult because there are no global optima but it is also more difficult to discuss because proof by counter-example is meaningless and will only convince a novice. If you're wondering the motivation I'm giving in my arguments, click the links.

If you read the investigative story [1] about how Russia's missile team's operate it explains they have to program their missiles with USB thumbdrives, targeting data comes from a small team in Moscow, then it gets sent to remote airbases/submarines, and targeting information is often 24hrs old by the time the missile is in flight.

It's much harder than it sounds.

A ballistic hypersonic missile isn't like a TV-guided cruise missile that can track a moving target or a HARM that will seek out RF signatures. You'd basically have to wait until the carrier is parked somewhere for an expended period (multiple hours at a minimum), otherwise you'll waste a $100M hypersonic missile.
