What part of demolishing a home is violence? It's property, not a person or a pet. It's important to properly understand and communicate what's going on and what you're upset about. Are you upset about the displacement of the people who lived in the homes, or just about houses being demolished? What was built in their place? If a single-family home was demolished to build multi-family housing, that's a good thing for the housing crisis!
>Overall that seems like a reduction in total emissions, since you're using less natural gas overall to heat the same amount.

This just isn't the problem at all; it's obviously a problem, but not the constraint here. Fossil fuels let you store energy in a distributed fashion (e.g. cutting and stacking firewood for the winter), which is way better for handling peaks.

If too many people get burnt by oversubscribed grids in the winter, I would expect that the middle- and upper-class response will be propane auxiliary heating systems.
Scaling my businesses from $4M profits to around $12M in profits.

I think there is a huge opportunity in the dampening of the financial markets, to use that to get people to buy my products and services.
> Because today houses are not for living in. They are investments.

The only reason homes can be considered investments is that governments limit supply so much that prices are forced to increase.
> people were griping about Go's error handling (if err != nil) when Rust is, at best, no better than Go

Have you used Rust in a non-trivial context recently? I have a few minor gripes about Rust's error handling, but Go's error handling isn't even in the same ballpark. Your complaint about the ? operator is moot, because you can easily use "match", "if let", "unwrap_or_else()", etc... to handle the errors in place. ? just gives you the convenience of mapping/propagating an error, which is desirable in some situations.

2) I think the vast majority of people want to own their own home, have somewhere to live when they retire, or something they can sell for some money and move to a smaller place.

There will always be a need for rentals. Moving to another city/state/town/country, etc, will require rentals so people can live. What I'm against is people owning MANY homes for the sole purpose of renting them. If you had a balance of people owning 1-3 homes, or people who rent their home out while they live somewhere else maybe for work or they retired. It would be ok.

When I was 20, just before I left NZ, I bumped someone I went to school with who had just bought his 7th house, he had quit his job because the rent income exceeded his day job and he was beginning to look for an 8th house. I'm not considering moving back to NZ as I have a family now, and looking at the prices I'm questioning if I can afford a house at all... Looking at the prices over the last 10 years, houses that wer 190k are now like 1.3 million...

3) Governments just building (or in this case not building) houses isn't the problem. Theres many government level issues to resolve. Absolutely fixing zoning laws, development laws, etc. 3 is a huge topic that could branch out into like 20 different things. I'm simply suggesting in terms of building aspect is taking some ideas from Singapore around the way BTOs are done and restrictions in place to prevent profiteering.

And these small units would be illegal in most modern US cities. Alain Bertaud who wrote Order Without Design described how his family lived in a tiny apartment in NYC when they first moved to the US. The unit would now be illegal and they wouldn't have an option.

It's over of the many cases where we don't like the options that poverty forces people to choose, so we make the options illegal instead of doing something about poverty.

>>That's an odd pet peeve

Everytime there is a YT Change (like happen recently) there is all these videos where YT often try to compare their experience with employment, how their "boss" Susan did something, or how they are being "Fired" if they get banned, or other such non-sense. That is my peeve.

>>I wouldn't be surprised if some countries define employee differently.

I would be surprised if any nation classified a person uploading videos on to a platform with the hopes of having a revenue share on ads the 3rd party sells on those videos is in anyway an "employee" of any kind.

I would also be surprised if any country has laws where 2 parties could not agree to non-disclosure of the terms of their business contract (which is the basis for this comment thread). that is pretty standard really

I would also be surprised since most of the time when you upload a video you have to agree you will be governed under the Laws of the US, and even more specific the laws of California
The North American owner's manual for the BMW E30, which being an 80s car would have been contemporary with the Franklin Ace, has a similar humorous admonition:

> Caution: Although the ABS is very effective, always remember that braking capability is limited by tire traction. Always adjust your driving speed according to the road and traffic conditions. Do not let the extra safety afforded by the ABS tempt you taking extra risk. The ABS cannot overcome the laws of physics.
thanks for explaining that, I think there are some assumptions that are flawed in this decision tree.

1) the admissions into the Ivy would be biased, the education should be the same as before, as admissions into Ivy were always biased in some way. So whatever their alumni (and dropouts) were known for in that brand would still be the same.

2) aggregate better decisions due to different lived experiences doesn't mean just selling consumer products to underprivileged people. you're really going to have to work on what people mean by that, "sales to poor people" isn't the whole universe of different lived experiences, there can be other market inefficiencies with a good TAM. very similar to non-revenue based reach.
> Houses tend to increase in value

They don't have to. This happens when an area gets popular and zoning regulations don't allow enough new supply to meet the demand.

Do you put energy/electricity into a refrigerator or take it out in order to make it colder?
I personally dislike the “channelization” of YouTube. The whole point of the internet is that it doesn’t have the restrictions of linear media. Search solves that problem of content discovery.

Now YouTube won’t pay you unless you have 1000 subscribers. But a lot of content just isn’t subscribeable and that’s ok.

Pre-1000 sub requirement, I put up a video for a niche MacBook Air microphone issue and repair that wasn’t covered in any video. Made $3-4/month, then cut to zero.

Of course, that means I’m not going to go through the effort of other useful-to-a-few and more-useful-than-entertaining videos that I found no video on.

Like how the same issue and resolution applies on MacBook speakers. Or how I fixed my toilet (it wasn’t the flapper!!!). How I fixed my washing machine (don’t spend $100 replacing the mixing valve, here’s how I cleaned mine out). But no, not going to waste my time unless YT cuts me in on the revenue.

I feel bad for the excellent video I saw last night to repair my Neato vacuum cleaner, but the guy had 45 subs. Or the one and done massively useful video to repair my garage door opener, but few subs.

Meanwhile when I wrote disparate blog articles, I went from $2/month, to $20, to $200 to $2000 through adsense, and it’s because Google search sent you to me. Not because you bookmarked my topics that can be about banking one day, to renewing your passport in my city because the viewership groups don’t overlap.
Sets of tuples and graphs of objects are fundamentally incompatible and I have not found a single ORM which didn't completely fail to pave over this fundamental incompatibility.

The object-relational impedance mismatch is not just something I came up with to shit on ORM. It is a well understood and widely known phenomenon which ORM users often like to insist on pretending doesn't exist. To claim that sets of tuples are the same as object graphs is like claiming that you have solved the halting problem.

Feel free to claim that the impedance mismatch is small enough that a sufficiently advanced ORM might successfully abstract it away, I don't think this claim is defensible either but on the other hand claiming that the OR impedance mismatch doesn't exist makes me think you have no idea what problem an ORM actually solves. It certainly makes me wonder how you would justify the size and complexity of every ORM out there.
Clickhouse has joins and CTEs just fine. It is however a column oriented database and joins are generally discouraged instead in favor of denormalized wide tables. That said it has extremely fast lookup mechanisms via joinGet() or dictionaryGet()
But why do Americans insist on handing over their card instead of paying at the table? That's weird.

Ignored by nearly everyone in this thread is that this currently affects many Firefox users too. Cloudflare absolutely deserves criticism here for placing their business interests ahead of the open web with extremely aggressive blocking that sees real users' eyes very frequently lately.

I've spend many years in Growth engineering. We often get asked to build this banner or that modal. I've always felt there should be a Wix kind of experience, but for smaller components. I didn't find one so I decided to build it.(bannerbox.io).

Bannerbox is targeted at existing site owners, specifically non-technical people (i.e. Marketing).

I do all of the design and coding myself (both backend and frontend in Typescript). I've been building this on the side and it's been a slog. I'm nearing feature complete and aim to start marketing the product this year.

It's currently costing me ~$50/month in hosting fees and generating 0 in revenue.

We don't need big projects. If popular US cities like Seattle and San Francisco simply allowed people to build 5-story apartment buildings in all the space that's currently set aside for single-family detached homes, you'd see people building millions of small projects to easily meet the demand.

> As to your question, I interpret it as: why are lambdas coming inside spreadsheets instead of spreadsheets becoming incorporated into programming languages, right?

Let me extend this. The power of the spreadsheet programming model (and work environment) is indisputable. In recent years, we've seen many interesting attempts to bring that power directly into programming tools (examples in the Clojure space: witheve, javelin, hyperfiddle; I even think witheve's first iteration was in fact a programmable spreadsheet, but I can't find it anymore). Conceptually these tools have the potential to converge to the same sweet spot, being a merge of 2 similar tenets. But the programming-driven side is converging far more slowly.

I'm interested in this because I think most programming environments these days are still too serial, and there's a lot to gain from moving into a more 2D -- spreadsheet like -- programming environment. It seems obvious, but still far away. It looks like spreadsheets will reach the sweet spot faster. But I like navigating code in Emacs more than I do jumping around cells and hitting F2 to edit.
Why would anything in HVAC control software be written in a way that is at all specific to a particular CPU architecture? Most software really doesn't need to use inline assembly or SIMD intrinsics, so usually the only extra effort to support both x86 and arm is in configuring the build system correctly.
It's very well documented that less than 20% of BEC losses in the US are recovered.
On the mower laws:

> For instance, they’ve banned the use of gas-powered yard equipment, which limits our ability to do yard work (or forces us to buy pricey new mowers and blowers).

Aside from the author putting it as a “costs money” type if inconvenience, professional landscapers would also move to electric equipment.

Companies manufacturing those engines will be impacted, but also the writing was on the wall for years and if they had no plan B they’d have gone under sooner or later. They sure would wish it was “later”, but in the current climate helping gasoline engine makers keep producing engines is clearly not a societal goal however we turn it.

The author is pretty explicit on all his points, I’m not sure there was much subtlety lost on why he doesn’t like current CA policies.

Actually we are running out of space in my Canadian province.

Here in Canada's smallest province I've never seen so many apartment buildings, condos, and homes being built. A field that was empty year ago now has about a dozen apartment buildings, maybe a dozen homes. And that's just one area. The sprawl is taking over farmland.

Meanwhile people have no place to live and anyone who does gets kicked out for a "renoviction". Supposedly repairs and upgrades but often it's just a coat a paoint and rent is doubled. Or it's covered to Air Bnb or other short term rentals STR. I've never seen so many homeless people in my life here.

So many buildings yet nowhere to live.
I'm starting a 100% Worker Owned For-Profit residential Trash and Recycling Co-operative

All profits go into the neighborhoods we serve and our bylaws are based on the US Constitution. No investors or different class shares. Management term limits, workers vote for CEO and a cooperative ombudsman (termed) for representation during yearly plan/budget proposal.

The CEO proposes a yearly plan/budget to the collective of ombudsman representatives, which vote to approve or amend. The yearly plan includes all P&L numbers for previous years, open balance sheet, salaries, as well as hiring, growth, acquisition plans for the following year(s)

I'm leaving out a lot of details of course, but the overall gist is that: incentives are aligned across the co-op such that management is incentivized to care for their employees above all, and there is no pressure from investors to grow more quickly than our company can sustain. Basically will not pursue increased margins at any cost.

We will provide the best service at a price that ensures we can fully take care of our employees such that they have a great life and can provide amazing service because they have the time, and trust to care about how we serve each other and our residential communities everyday.

Wage theft is similar.

It can be a clear accusation. There can be a form of video footage - I can take a screenshot of the amount that is being stolen from my bank account - I'm supposed to get $1000 but only paid $800.

>Are you going to call and say "I'm being forced to work unpaid hours"?

Sure. Makes 100% sense to me. You can look at your phone GPS, see how much time you spent in the job, then match that up against your pay stub. Exact same thing - you can show them both at the same time.

>I would not envision the police showing up to arrest your employer, take them in for questioning, etc.

That's the issue. They should. It would put an nationwide end to wage theft real fast if they brought in the CEO of Apple into jail for theft.

>Wage theft is also slightly more complex in that the victims are often complicit in the sense that they continue to work for the employer.

If you go into a hotel and stay there for a week, and only pay for 2 days, then you will be charged with theft, even though the hotel knew you were there. Randy Quaid is an example of this - arrested for a $10K hotel bill in Santa Barbara. It's "theft of services" and it is no joke. If he can be arrested, why not someone who skips out of paying you wages? Same exact situation.

>you're also continuing to work for them.

The one has nothing to do with the other. The crime is the crime. But then, by your logic, if one quits and doesn't continue to work, then the employer can be arrested?

>The employer would tell the police that showed up that you were free to leave, or were agreeing to the term by virtue of showing up.

This would be like saying that if I shoplifted at a store, then came in again and purchased something from the store later, that the store owner agreed to the terms of you taking stuff without paying before, because they just sold you some more stuff. That is not how it works.

>It would take legal action, e.g. a lawyer not a cop, to actually create a claim that was actionable and enforceable by the law enforcement organization.

Stealing is stealing. The fact that a lawyer has to get involved, does not mean a cop shouldn't arrest those accused of wage theft.

But, it did give me some good ideas. I'm going to start a bunch of companies up, get people to work for me for two weeks, then never pay them and tell them to sue me. And since it is a corportation, they can sue the company but then I can just shut down the corporation. There won't be able to pierce the corporate veil, because I'm not treating it as an alter ego. Of course, I write this just to prove how ridiculous the claim is, when clearly I am stealing from employees, and gain all the benefits for myself.
You explicitly don’t need direct source level interoperability with C++. The language just has to become the primary choice in the domains C++ used to be one. Rust appears to fit this definition quite well.
I've used Rust quite a bit, but I would love to hear more about this. Is this comparing to lower level languages like C/C++/Zig, or higher level GC'd languages? What problems does it make us think more about up-front, and do you think it's due to single ownership (in the C++ and Rust sense) or the borrow checker?

Please explain. I feel like your just having a knee jerk reaction to a mention of the words CO2 and oil as fuel.

Super critical CO2 dissolved polar molecules such as oil and wax, and deposit them somewhere else when the CO2 goes through the phase change back to gas. This is useful in cleaning in the same way that soap/detergent is used to allow water to break up and remove oils on clothes, tools or dishes. In this case the CO2 can be recycled and used again through heat/pressure bringing it back to a supercritical phase.

The oils could be used for other purposes, I just chose fuel as most individuals won't be interested in eating recycled oils from their dirty dishes, and the usage of waste oils for biodiesel, etc. is a better alternative than petrochemicals.

I mostly agree, but I think there is a risk for a reader of your comment to completely confuse analog computers and scalable digital quantum computers.

Analog computers, like your bathtub accelerator, wind tunnels, ballistic aiming computers, scale models of flood plains, etc, are amazing at one single task (or maybe a few very related tasks), are not Turing complete, and, *by far most importantly*, can not scale as there is a hard insurmountable upper bound on the number of variables they can deal with before noise completely ruins the simulation.

Digital computers might be slower (they used to be in the vast majority of cases), but they can scale arbitrarily large, because digital computation permits error correction. That is true about classical digital computers (which have existed for 60ish years after being conceptually predicted 200 years ago) and about digital quantum computers (which do not exist just yet after being predicted 30 years ago). Digital quantum computers also happen to be able to solve efficiently a few important but idiosyncratic problems that classical digital computers can not solve efficiently.

I am writing all of this because your complaint, while fairly reasonable when made against any analog computer, is not correct when made against the (proposed) digital quantum computers (like the ones still in development at IBM, Google, PsiQuantum, or many research universities).

Lastly, it seems there is some limited resurgence in analog computation lately (classical or quantum, that does not matter), thanks to new technologies (mainly photonics) which provide a significant constant factor improvements in suppressing noise.
