Will this actually do anything, though? The Vancouver and Toronto metro areas implemented foreign investor taxes on home purchases a bunch of years ago. I believe the data shows that the taxes did dramatically reduce foreign real estate investment, but it wasn't clear that it did much to make home prices more affordable for citizens. Granted, it's possible that foreign investment would have made the situation worse. But it seems like it's a lever that didn't really do much to move the needle.

The only real solution is to build more and more housing in places where people want to live, increasing density where necessary. I know a lot of people don't like this for a variety of reasons, but: tough shit. Buying a house doesn't give you the right to stop time. Yes, increased density does bring some negatives, but I don't see a world where those negatives are worse than the effects of skyrocketing housing prices.
It's reasoning based on a false assumption. If you start from the assumption that AI imagery is based on specific source images, which had signatures, then it can make sense to assume that the squiggly lines in the corner are evidence that it copied-and-mangled some such specific pictures.

That's not what it did, of course. But if you start from the assumption...
I am one of those Americans who relocated to Mexico in the past few years. I still spend some months a year in the US for work and family, but the majority of my time is spent in a medium size pueblo outside of a major city. Mexico is very welcoming, although some knowledge of Spanish is necessary outside of the tourist areas. The people are wonderful and the internet is fast and cheap.
Not so obvious. Origin stories for First Nations peoples are themselves narratives with their own particular validity, and some don’t mention an early migration.

The Western anthropological narrative of migration for these peoples is just another story, only valid within its own limited world-view. The relevance of anthropological evidence in engaging Native worldviews continues to be an important point of discussion in some (drum) circles.
A shirt-tail relative started to type out the Bible, though last I heard she had bogged down somewhere around Ecclesiastes. If memory serves, she did this with some of the Game of Thrones books also.

I don't know what she learned about religion or the techniques of the fantasy novel, or whether this made her a better typist.

I'm out of the midwest and work in a customer facing role and this is what I see out here:

In the last ~year I've noticed what seemed to be like a wave of everyone going to Zoom really slowed or in some sectors reversed. There seemed to be a period where it seemed every O365 shop was getting Zoom to do meetings. Lately though I've seen more switch back to using Teams (which admittedly isn't as horrendous for larger calls anymore) as the first choice but not necessarily getting rid of Zoom completely. To be honest the larger the place the more likely they have more solutions.

Meet (and Google Workspace in general) remains a powerhouse in the education space but larger traditional enterprise seems to have problems staying with it when they make the switch often flipping back fully or sometimes mixing it by department. Can't say much about smaller enterprise beyond generally they go with bundled solutions if they are tech or office focused (e.g. Google or Microsoft) or whatever is cheapest otherwise.

I still run into a few Webex calls but really I haven't seen 1/10th as many of these as I used to by ratio. It's basically in the "other" category at this point with things like RingCentral and GoToMeeting.

Maybe should learn what an RFC is, and check out this one before you keep trying to counter the document that formally minted the verbs in the first place: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616#section-9.1.2

See section 9.1.2: Idempotent Methods, where they succinctly address the point:

> Naturally, it is not possible to ensure that the server does not
generate side-effects as a result of performing a GET request; in
fact, some dynamic resources consider that a feature. The important
distinction here is that the user did not request the side-effects,
so therefore cannot be held accountable for them.

-

It's funny, I wouldn't have thought the RFC needed to say this. I'd have thought it was a waste of words since it'd be obvious to absolutely anyone that you can't... what? magically force developers to not write a bit of code in a system you have literally no control over?

Yet here we are, proving the authors well-prepared all these years later.

I thought The Goal was more generally applicable. Its core idea ("theory of constraints") is described in terms of a factory floor where different workstations have different throughputs/latencies/reliability; you could apply that to a diagram of a distributed system [0], CPU [1] or server [2].

I don't think that's right. A lot of YouTubers make videos detailing their YouTube earnings and post them to YouTube (for example [1]). If it were against the ToS, you'd think YouTube would at least remove those videos.

This is either wrong or incomplete. When you call a function `f()` with some `&mut`, the callee gets a `&mut`, not a borrowed `&mut &mut`. The callee doesn't borrow the ref mut, it gets the actual ref mut, and for some time you have multiple mutable references in the same scope. How?

> If this is irrelevant, why is Stability.AI creating an "opt out" system for artists? It's almost like they know they are copying digital artists works without their explicit consent. This wouldn't be an issue if they only used images in the public domain.

It might also be because there's a huge backlash against the concept of stable diffusion in certain circles. Whether or not that backlash matches the legalities, or if their logic is sound at all, has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I’ve found this to be profoundly true. I’m embarrassed by the number of times I’ve been taught by a dream what I fail to express in words.
I think there's more to it, though. If landlords or management companies are competing to buy a 4+ unit building, that having more potential buyers (foreign buyers) will tend to make the final purchase price higher than it would have been if there'd only been local buyers, regardless of who ends up with the winning bid.

And certainly the higher cost of purchase will influence the amount the new owner charges tenants to live there.
Ah, literal ice - well, certainly that is out of the normal use for the tires? Snow tires definitely help for "road ice" or "snow that has become ice" - I had to once drive up a fairly steep driveway of "snow that was now ice" (where you could not walk up it without crampons) and my snow tires did a great job with my AWD - I was extremely impressed.
To be honest, it's really hard to articulate to people that still live in the United States. But it feels like the country has turned rotten. You feel it any time you interact with a customer service person. Restaurants, stores, especially any kind of "gig economy" service like getting food delivered. They hate serving you and hate their job. Social media has turned what used to be quietly held opinions into bullhorns and raised up walls where you're either on one side or the other. Outside of a few places, you have to drive and who knows if the person who just cut you off has a gun.

Also when you leave, you realize how much of American society is constructed around the idea of curtailing legal liability. It's why you have to fill out a 50 page form to get your teeth cleaned. It's why you have to go to the doctor and get a new prescription every year for a medication you've been taking with no problems for a decade.

It's why even when you have money, you have this sense in the back of your mind that you could still lose it all. Meanwhile, you see the truly rich treating the markets like it's a playground.

I moved to Mexico last year, and I felt safer. Like, not just physically safer but psychologically safer. People (not just in customer service positions) are more polite. The society feels more cohesive. Things here are easy if you have some (not even a lot) money.

Mexico is definitely not a perfect country - has tons of problems. But it's easier to insulate yourself from them if you're an ex-pat/immigrant and have money. That's the honest, kind of ugly answer.
Agree with some of the comments here -

What is the scam - that CloudKitchens is the reason these restaurants fail? That it is actually more expensive to launch a CloudKitchens restaurant versus a normal brick and mortar?

From my perspective, this is a reporter and a failed restaurateur using Kalanick's notoriety to fabricate a story. A vast majority of restaurants go out of business- it happens.
Well modern industry is much safer than before for one - much less exposed gears, belts and live wires than in the good old days.

I don't see how you've rebutted the study at all; you've argued that it would be possible to offset the racism in job applications by scrubbing names from resumes and using voice changers on interview calls (come on). But both of those interventions just mitigate the racism, they don't directly reduce it.

Mewanwhile, you've just cited a totally unrelated (and widely dunked-upon) NYT op-ed as evidence for your position, and then accused the person you're arguing with of bad faith. Physician, heal thyself.
There are a very small number of private intensive care units (I spent some time in one of them a few years ago, for complicated travel-insurance-related reasons). AFAIK they are all in London.

Any other private hospital may have the facilities to perform routine operations, but relies on the NHS to pick up the pieces if something goes dramatically wrong. And even the private ICUs in London probably aren't as well-equipped as a major NHS teaching hospital.
If Elon's goal of colonizing Mars leads to accelerated development of rockets and other space tech, that's gotta be a good thing. But the actual challenges of not only traveling to Mars but transporting enough people and supplies to set up a self-sustaining colony there, are still firmly in the realm of science fiction. Especially considering that it would take an enormous commitment of resources, more than any one company or nation could come up with, as well as the fractured and squabbling state of the human race at present, tells me that it would take a lot more than just solving a handful of technical issues.

+1 for HamStudy.org which is an excellent resource. They include "explainer" cards for each question which often contain links to other material which are a great jumping off point for going as deep as you care to go on any individual topic.

> “Software Engineering at Google: Lessons Learned from Programming Over Time”

Isn't Google's software engineering culture kind of a joke right now? I've spoken to multiple ex-Googlers and they tell me they leave because everything moves at a snail's pace. From the outside looking in, it seems like absolutely nothing is being done in Google and I would not want to replicate their engineering culture in any company.

Please don't take this as flame bait and I'm open to discussion about what I'm missing. I feel like for people in the know, Google has a reputation for being a "retirement home".
pretty sure someone did. They were tracking their coins in an MS Access database or something like that, and when they needed to mine more, it just meant adding some more rows in the database

Because today houses are not for living in. They are investments.

There's multiple issues that need solving now.

1) Being able to purchase a house without ever setting foot in the country. NZ decided to stop foreigners buying houses. There were websites you can go in and people from China would buy houses without ever setting foot in NZ... The buying power of alot of people from China and India is huge. This drives up prices.

Let's not forget, most countries in Asia you literally cannot buy property if you're a foreigner. You have have to have a spouse or buy via a 3rd party who owns it and you pay them fees to hold it for you.

2) Houses are no longer valued based on your income, they are based on what you can earn.

This is difficult to solve. You need rentals to assist with foreign labour. But you want to remove rentals to prevent houses being investment properties.

Maybe they should cap the number of houses a family can own, and a business cannot rent out a home. It's built for sale, not built for rental.

3) Housing shortages. Housing supply should be assisted by the government via BTO's. Built to Order. Rather than taking huge loans from banks, you can buy a house from the government at a fixed price, that you will pay back. If you don't pay the government takes it back, otherwise you cannot sell that house for the first 10 years of ownership. You cannot rent it out for the first 5 years of ownership. Somewhat similar to how Singapore runs their BTOs.

Decades ago when the West was developed, there was very little value placed on the existing stuff. Five people died constructing the Empire State building. Do you imagine the uproar if that happens today? I bet human life was valued much less back then. Similarly, lots of neighborhoods were erased to make way for highways, railroads and industrial plants. Nowadays, try constructing an industrial plant in a major city center and you will discover that people care a lot of their clean air and clear water.

There is also a related but separate aspect where environmental activists erected barriers to slow down any development. You still feel its effects today where CEQA is weaponized to slow down a small apartment housing.

2008 was 15 years ago, though. Certainly the home-building industry recovered quite a long time ago. Yes, there are some wrinkles: building material cost was very high for much of the pandemic, and now interest rates have gone up (I don't know how interest rates in the Netherlands get affected by US rates, but I imagine they're not totally independent). But there's a huge period from 2009 to around 2020 where home building should have been quite economical.

If home prices have risen during that time to levels people now find uncomfortable, then the only conclusion we can draw is that there has been a ton of demand, and thus many available buyers. So I don't get how you can argue that no one was building due to lack of buyers.

> And unlike emigrants from other countries, Americans go everywhere. We’re the most widely distributed people on the planet. No other nation has as few people concentrated in its top 10 (or top 25, or top 50) destinations, a Washington Post analysis shows.

This is a fascinating statistic.

On the one hand, a major part surely must be that there's no "leveling up" economy to move to, you're already at the top (putting aside concern about the massive inequality for a second).

But I also have to wonder how much of it has to do with geographical isolation. The US only borders two countries, and is really far away from all of the other ones, save for some small nations in the Caribbean. And so while we might find many Europeans concentrated in nearby countries you can visit by train... since Americans have to take such a long flight to start with, they just wind up going everywhere since it's not like anything's especially more convenient?
It's the only way promos can happen -- adding more gratuitous useless "features" to an already-steaming pile of crap.
