1) I agree here but I have a feeling it would be unpopular policy on the democratic side of the asile if it tried to be done here in the US.

2) I am unclear why one would cap the number of houses or prevent rental. Or how that would solve the problem. Affordablity is only one reason people rent. There are alot of people that do not WANT to own. Hell I am a home owner and have often thought about selling and going back to rental. I might if I ever need to move cities again

3) Price fixing and having government take over the housing market is not a solution to what is largely a government created problem in the first place. Zoning, non-saftey based building standards (i.e min square footage, min lot size, bans on Multifamily, etc) and other government actions are the direct cause of the housing shortage. Change Zoning Laws and allow builders to only have to adhere to actual safety based building standards and housing shortage would be over.

Government putting its hands on the scales of the market for over 50 years is the root cause of the problem, everything from FHA to Fannie/Freddie, to Zoning laws all created this problem.
> The reasons we don’t have enough homes is because governments have made it illegal to build enough new homes to meet demand.

> You are essentially say that the presence of car collectors leads to car shortages.

The price of a old car, a new car, a cheap car, and an expensive luxuary car, all vary greatly. Cars are more or less open for purchase by everyone.

Houses a fixed in a location, you cannot pick it up and move it. Let's look at each point.

1) If a house in a street costs $200,000. And you have a ton of money and go online and find the house and for you it doesn't even tickle your bank account. But you want to get some money out of your own country and into another country as a safty net or investment. Or maybe you move to said country and your buying power is much greater than the locals.

"Oh, its ONLY 200k? Heres cash"

The house next door is like "huh, the market value of this street is 170k and he sold his house for 200k? I'm gonna list mine for 220k"

"Oh, it's ONLY 220k? Heres cash"

The house next door is like "huh, the market value of this street is 170k and he sold his house for 220k? I'm gonna list mine for 300k"

"Oh, it's ONLY 300k? Heres cash"

Mean while the locals are like "oh I only needed a 20k deposit, now I need 30, 40... 100... 200k deposit"

Locals are getting priced out of their own country. This happened in NZ and Australia.

2) This I don't know how you can dispute. It's a fact that 100 years ago, houses were an asset, not an investment. Why do people need to own more than 2 houses? There are people who own, 5, 10, 30, and even more. There are businsses setup around buying property to rent it out.

What has happened is people got into the market early, with houses that cost 100k, 200k, maybe even close to 1 million dollars. And each time they buy and remortgage the house to leverage buying another property, to rent it out, use that to pay the mortgage payments, which in alot of cases rent is MORE than the mortgage.

Yet the people PAYING Rent are not in a position to get a loan to buy the same house. You often here "oh just buy a house, because renting you're paying someone elses mortgage". How to you do that when you cannot get a loan to buy the same house? How is it fair?

3) Housing Shortage. 100 years ago, people would buy property, and pay a builder to build a house on it. At some point this more or less got flipped and its builders and property developers who buy property, build a house, then sell it.

You do not need governments to build houses to solve the problem. People are simply priced out of being able to build houses. It's MUCH harder to buy an empty lot, and get a loan from a bank to build a house on that lot now.

Can governments assist with housing shortages, ABSOLUTELY. But you cannot simply blame the government on the housing shortage aspect because they aren't building enough. There are much bigger issues causing the problem.
I like to reuse large containers from orange juice and ice tea as water bottles.

I’ll keep several around the house, so I’ll always have a large bottle of filtered water right next to me.

For me it helps with staying hydrated, and I like to think that reusing these bottles is better than recycling them right away.

Also as a cheap skate the notion of a $30+ bottle is silly
> People who just spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for a down payment on a house in the suburbs do not want their neighborhood to change into something that is not a suburb. If they wanted to live in a dense urban area, they would have done that.

I did spent a lot of money on a house in the suburbs. I would have preferred to buy something more dense and walkable, but getting anything decent like that was not an option. Because so much low-density gets built and the higher infrastructure need per unit in low-density areas gets subsidized by hifh-density areas, the economics work out greatly in favor of the suburbs in a lot of places.

Yeah, being at ease with the possibility of being wrong (and not letting that prevent you from expressing yourself) + having the skill to admit and recognize when you’re wrong are two great qualities in combination. Only have one of them and you’re either a politician or you’re dumb (you’re always wrong lol)
Dunno about YouTube, but Adsense used to prohibit that but then reversed that policy.

I remember emailing someone that said they “didn’t share how much they made because it’s against TOS” after the policy changed and they still declined.

PG makes the case for speaking openly, but ultimately opts for cowardice in avoiding these conversations. I don't mean "cowardice" as a bad choice, but a reaction against the negatives of speaking out against the anti-yellowists.

I feel like that's a terrible use of their capital if all they are trying to do is just not screw things up. I'm not a shareholder but if I were I'd rather have my money returned to me than have it spent on a bunch of projects that will get nowhere because the goal is avoid risk taking.
Funny enough I found that rolling most of the error types into one error type of circuit level that is either server failure or application logic failure is really where we wanted to go with circuit breakers. Having many new error types and not making the compiler and force you to check for those error types causes new errors to show up in an existing RPC method and no one notices it. Worse it either gets accidentally thrown into server errors which causes circuits to close when they shouldn't because it's actually a problem in the calling service, or they get thrown into user cases when they should actually be server failures and services continue to slam services that are actually broken. At work we mostly got it down to those two areas with lots of nuances under the business logic level issues as opposed to the server issues. However I don't think that using hundreds of status codes is the right way to go about it those two classes seem to be a really good place at the Hep binding and circuit breaker level. Circuit breakers in general are kind of tough.
Ah, interesting! I figured there would be a way without having to "brute-force" the solution by using the `permutation` predicate but I wasn't able to come up with one. I wonder if there's a way of not depending on permutation generation, nor list length. Does querying with `order(L)` require `length(L, 9)` to work?

As for the topological sort solution, I assume it's what Graphviz uses under the hood in mLuby's solution! If I understand correctly, we're graphing the sequence of reindeer and then extracting the order of the nodes in the graph?

I don't know what REST is "really" supposed to mean [1], but every time I saw it used, it basically meant RPC with JSON over HTTP.

I have just googled a random service that self-describes its API as REST [2]. I would be glad if someone could pinpoint me at the exact differences that make it "closer to file transfer than RPC".

[1] I guess in its original long gone meaning it's something closer to what 90s web looked like, but no one uses it in that sense.

Websites that do it? Outside of the job aggregators - no. What's more, if they are scraping the page they may miss some or may still have some that have since closed.

The "easy to apply" approach from these sites often results in a poorer quality application and resume than applying directly.

If you are attempting to apply to these companies and want to get in rather than just throw resumes at the wall and see what sticks, your time is best spent learning to use the career portal at that company - save searches, sign up for job alerts and then apply through that portal.

You may find it useful to use those job aggregators to get an idea of companies to search for or the titles of positions, but they tend not to be the best way to apply (and certainly not the "easy apply" when the company in question may get scores or hundreds of applications for that position).

Frankly, for these companies anything other than applying directly on the page is trying to play a numbers game and putting the applicant at a disadvantage when it comes to the quality of the application.

> Houses tend to increase in value, Cars tend to decline in value.

this is an observation that may be mostly supported by data right now, but also is not super meaningful.

WHY do houses appreciate? why do cars depreciate?

The answer is supply and demand: supply of housing is far more regulated than supply of cars - height limits and zoning are frequent reasons, but any sort of building approval process with unnecessary hurdles can increase supplier risk and cost. Most of these processes aren't set up with demand in mind. whereas if you are an automaker and want to churn out another 10000 cars, there's no laws stopping you (fuel efficiency / emissions requirements notwithstanding).

The problem with houses is that since a large portion of the population thinks they are investments, anything that would increase supply would devalue their investment, so fixing the regulations around them is a political quagmire.

I suppose cars, as machines, also have increasing maintenance costs over time. the same is true of houses, just over a much longer timescale... if houses depreciated instead of appreciated, we might see more torn down after 30-50 years rather than always repairing everything. Certainly the tradeoffs would start to look different.

it would take a lot of people to change the "culture" overnight. likely a prohibitively large number, as you said.

but it doesn't take so many newcomers to significantly change political outcomes. even in red states, republican mayors are pretty rare. in practice, this means that the mayoral race is almost always determined by an n-way democratic primary. it's hard to overstate how chaotic this can be. for example, the current mayor of baltimore won the 2020 primary (effectively the general election) with <30% of the vote, with the runner up trailing by only 2%. this was an election where ~25% of the population cast a vote. it would have taken <4000 votes to completely change that outcome.

I've joined the Tribe community a few months ago, done one project with them, so far very happy with my experience.

- Pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable people on the slack.

- Brief and effective process matching me with a client.

- They negotiated a rate I was happy with, taking a cut I found reasonable.

- Good working relationships with others in the project, both from Tribe and the client, everyone happy.

- Payment was simple and timely, when I encountered a technical issue with their provider during setup, Tribe were very helpful resolving it.

My experience meeting Americans abroad is that most of them feel extremely surprised and cheated when they see how people live in other countries.

Prior to moving, they usually did not even consider that the change could be an upgrade. They come expecting a worse but cheaper place where they could live an adventure, and only after the fact they consider staying.

I would say that your comment about not being possible to level up is an example of that. Yes, the US has the largest economy, but by that logic, the second best place to move to would be China, which I think you would probably not agree with.

An immigrant would not consider macroeconomic data, but rather make judgments calls such as “I am a teacher. How likely am I to get hired? What salary can I expect? Can said figure buy me a good life in that country?” And I think that under those terms many Americans would have a lot of alternatives to level up to. It just seems that the possibility does not even register.

> So far nobody was able to get such model unless I missed something.

If you model it as e.g. a quantum system with a state space that describes what you're measuring, coupled to a thermal bath, then it works. What kind of model are you looking for? Real measuring instruments are probably too big to ever model the full quantum state space of all the particles they're made up of, for example.

> And the whole point of the decoherence exercise is to avoid Born rule as it implies a truly classical subsystem

What do you mean by "truly classical"? The Born rule implies that our experience is the same as if we found ourselves within one of an ensemble of possible classical-like states with a certain probability, but, well, experimentally that's what we do; any interpretation of quantum mechanics needs to be able to recover that reality.

Do you think the situation would improve if they were... bad investments?

Because it seems to me that we can probably find all kinds of ways to reduce a house's market value without reducing its livability. Especially if its owners are on a different continent and not around to stop us. Once they cave and sell at a loss, we've got the local cost of housing going down and whatever the deficit is stays in the local economy.
"do the needful", "please revert back to me"-- phrases like these are not 'invented' by some Indian speakers. These are the stuff Indian savants picked up from the old English books. Then, these savants taught this stuff to fellow Indians and this dynamic gets reproduced everyday.

See an entry from Charles Scholl, Geroge Mcaulaly et al's "A Phraseological Dictionary of Commercial Correspondence in the English, German, French & Spanish Languages, with an Appendix Containing Lists of Commercial Abbreviations, Geographical Names, the Principal Articles of Commerce", published in 1891:

"Needful: he will do what is needful under the circumstances. We rely on your doing the needful for the protection of our interests. With which will you please do the needful. With which we shall do the needful, and credit you for the amount in due course. I shall do the needful at maturity. I enclose draft for 100 pounds at two months, to which I will thank you to do the needful"

Another entry from a law journal published in 1833 in UK: "The letter was immediately given by the bankrupt to the defendant, with directions that as the voyage was altered, he, the defendant, would do the needful."

It's worth pointing out that this was very much by design. Reset on the Apple II was a warm reset. It provided the ability to break out of a hung, spinning or otherwise misbehaving program and get back to the boot-time monitor prompt in a state where your live in-memory work wasn't lost.

Remember the original computer didn't have a disk yet. The only storage was a cassette tape operating at 6000 baud. You didn't hack on it by editting a text file and then compiling it from storage, you programmed in-memory (either in BASIC or by hand-assembling instructions at the monitor). Then you tried it, and if it worked you started worrying about how to get that pickled to storage in a recoverable way.

It was a different world, and "reset" was absolutely a critical feature.

But yeah, fast forward a few years and the median user was "running" software and not writing it, and we all forgot about why it was there.
