> it seems that where ever this happens, many people oppose merely allowing multiunit because they don't want to live in multiunit, even though it doesn't actually impact where they live

No, that's not the reason at all. It's concerns over traffic, impact on already-packed schools, and overall crowding.

Yes, you can do it with waves of water in a cake pan if you like. Any waves will do.

The most amazing thing about the double slit experiment is that you get a wave interference pattern when you send photons towards the slits one at a time.
Steve Jobs showcased the mobile web when he introduced iPhone and mobile Safari. Maybe it was someone else's initiative, but he introduced it, and Apple made it possible. I don't think anyone cares about bandwidth of a website anymore, yet we're still stuck with it.
There's a perception of "renter mentality" being synonymous with indifference and lack of personal investment into the neighborhoods. E.g. ownership communities tend to have cleaner streets, less crime and fewer annoyances (like loud parties or improper parking) due to owners acting upon such infractions faster.
It's not a free market due to restrictive zoning. If artificial rules limit the supply of housing in places where people actually want to live, how could the market correct?
Most small towns are not thriving despite the lack of legal barriers to their development.

Usually the reason is a lack of reasons to locate there. Even in the WFH era there are reasons to locate where existing good services and amenities are; a lot of amenities (niche business or cultural stuff, etc.) needs a critical mass of people to support it, and small towns generally don't have the mass. It is really hard to start up brand new septic or water delivery or whatnot in the middle of nowhere.

Also, consider that it doesn't take that many people to overwhelm a small town's population. What I hear in the Western states where remote WFH is becoming popular, is now WFH workers are pricing out existing residents, because rural salaries cannot compete with WFH wages. So WFH has mostly just resulted in exporting the housing crisis without significant easing in the places that had this problem pre-WFH.
U.S. Representative Comments on New “Object” over Montana
Its your dream. Many people's dream is to own any house at all
I.d argue it is confusing long and short term investments. If you will live in the same place for at least 40 years a house is a great investment because you live there rent free after it is paid off. This only works if you pay it off, and continue to live there.
And those are the sort of words that are rich in unusual letters and therefore likely to appear in pangrams in the training data.
What makes me really mad about current Putin's war, is that Ukraine will have to deal with the consequences like this for the next 80 years.
Fair point. It's not really analogous to "dropping acid" as I put it, but we do have clear evidence of its use specifically for its hallucinogenic properties:

The market cannot optimize itself because a number of legislation like Prop 13, restrictive zoning and height limitations are there to prevent an efficient market.
Plenty of people buy without becoming invested in the community and plenty of people rent who are invested in the community. I suspect it depends upon both the personality of the person and where they are in life. Even then, suggesting that someone doesn't want to be invested in their community because their views on what community means differs from yours is liable to be biased. For example, I often hear people criticizing students as being transient, yet they are frequently interested in contributing to the development of the communities in wbich they live. Yet you cannot expect their vision to be the same as someone who is midcareer and has children.
I think it would work better with a slight twist: set a reasonable score floor, run a lottery for everyone above it. Instead of giving the world to people who(se parents have paid to) optimize their studies to a particular test, everyone who proves a certain degree of capability has a chance. Students simply do their best, and fate and the RNG takes care of the rest. If it becomes a problem, that we're underserving too many bright and promising youth because too few are getting into Ivies under this regime... maybe create more Ivy-likes (Stanford says hi).

And for anyone who thinks it's unfair: not anymore so than the parent lottery. And I think institutional acknowledgment of the role pure dumb luck plays in our lives would go a long way towards dispelling our inclination to actively punish people for acts of the cosmos and/or dysfunctional policy.
That last line seems... obvious. One person feeding a spouse and three children will have a harder time than one person feeding themselves, given the same low amount of money.
Not for git either?
Funny, they confirmed it was unmanned but they refuse to confirm whether its a balloon. Bit weird don't you think?
What is the average home? Is it a detached single family house, half a duplex, apartment, trailer in a trailer park?
Communities take all different shapes, renters care about their community too. Personally growing up in a SFH was isolating and took away any sort of autonomy I had.

Want to go to a park? Well that's a 10 minute drive.

How about friends? Better hope I like my 3 neighbors (I didn't). Another 15 minute drive

My family and I live in a large apartment. My son has friends he can walk to see, a park he can walk to and we can relax in, and even a store where he can get treats with his allowance. I'm not his driver and he's more locked into the community than I ever was. All I knew in my community was who had a feud with who over a tree crossing into their yard.
I had exactly this experience growing up too. My friends were all _at least_ a 2 mile walk from me, on 8 lane 60mph stroads with nothing but gated communities and strip malls along the way. Biking was not great either because of how hilly it could get. Once I got a car life got much better, but it didn't have to be that way.
What are the chances these are warnings by another power for Ukraine?

And LCDM does this too. If you want a comprehensive survey of the tuning done by each model to fit observations, see:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.06936v3

It seems clear that neither approach is satisfactory as they stand, but the resistance to recognizing the significant flaws in LCDM is frankly puzzling.
There are pros and cons. Renting can be a great choice. If you cash out refinance your house often as many do, then an apartment probably was the better long term choice.
>like a creationist

lol wow, you are warped my friend. no wonder you're having such a difficult time here.
An underrated problem is that many suburbs use zoning to make small houses impossible to build. Urban YIMBYs don’t talk about it because they hate suburbs but forcing everyone to have a huge lot makes home ownership far more exclusionary, which of course was the intent.
NOTAMs/TFRs are not particularly noteworthy, but this kind of TFR reads like something non-routine and out of the ordinary.
Would you have bought condo for half the price in nicer location? Would you have bought a smaller house or condo for less money?

The problem now is that we don’t give people the choice when only single family homes are allowed. Some people like apartments. Some people prefer location and would take whatever gets them there. Some people just need the cheapest housing.
What's the lesson here? I'm guessing you're not literally saying "don't hire people who suffer from anxiety issues", but it's not clear to me what anyone is supposed to do if they think you're correct.
City of Oakland hit with ransomware attack
Wow, it’s pretty simple. Owning a home means you don’t pay rent. You pay a mortgage and in such a case you earn equity. When you pay rent, your money is gone every month. You may pay it off and then live without paying the mortgage but just up-keep and property taxes or you may sell the house even before mortgage is paid off and possibly even earn a profit but certainly recoup much of your mortgage payments at the least. Your point about it just being about passing wealth to future generations seems to indicate you are just seeing home ownership through some extreme leftist lens. You may not even choose pass on anything and it is still financially beneficial. Why is earning an income important? That’s a “serious” question too. You say we “conflate” housing and investment, housing is investment, we don’t have to conflate these things, they are intrinsically intertwined because we live in a world in which scarcity exists, despite what the left might tell you. The rest of what you are saying is just very naive.
It would be more accurate to say our experiment with apartment prohibition is coming to an end, and many American cities are returning to the rules that were in effect when all their best buildings were built and neighborhoods formed.
Now make the tool add paragraphs and it could generate some readable text

It scales really well down and up to how much you want to spend. It comes with existing integrations with a lot of libraries and formats and a CLI to push data from file based logs to their service.

They have just added a new parser and query engine written in Rust to get the best performance out of your instance.

Let's say we're at war with Alpha Centaury. They'll get news of the downing of their flying cylinder in 2027 and will retaliate in 2032. If they can't send much more than a few small ships the logistic is pretty bad for them. Even if they are loaded with nukes, it's not much damage on the planetary scale. If they can send one thousand, it's a different matter.

I came here to write this comment. Also, you usually need to have some means of canceling the task -- otherwise you have to wait for them to finish, or you leak these stray lost tasks that are doing stuff, like manipulating the state of things.
I agree with everything except that the importance of ownership would go away. There is a lot you can't do while renting, things that would improve your day to day life in ways you prefer. You can also just be moved on at any point, say the house sells or the landlord changes heart. Of course there are protections but renting is never as stable as ownership. It's a necessarily transient arrangement.

From the tweet: "I am in direct contact with NORCOM and monitoring the latest issue over Havre and the northern border. Airspace is closed due to an object that could interfere with commercial air traffic — the DOD will resume efforts to observe and ground the object in the morning."

Datalust Seq adds Rust based query engine
I have been using Seq to process my locals for local dev and remote dev for a while. It is great to see this application drive even more performance without driving up the costs.

Using rust to replace a lot of the .NET based memory cache and query parsing they have pushed amazing performance out of small cheap instances and allowed you to push large instances even further.

Worth checking out if you want a great logging server that doesn't break the bank and can grow with you.

Not affiliated with Datalust just love their product.
It is not a photo, it is not a closed room. We are in a system, that have inputs and outputs. With more than GHG (not just CO2) than preindustrial times, the planet keeps more energy of what it receives to the sun. That affects the pretty complex system that is the climate one, in several ways, and triggering several positive feedback loops that makes things even worse (i.e. losing ice over ocean means less albedo, and more energy capture, whatever is the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere). And some of those feedback loops even do their own emissions of GHG, like more methane from wetlands, and the one emitted by permafrost thawing, potentially more water vapor that is a strong GHG, and so on.

There is a point where the concentration of CO2 is directly harmful for human beings, 450ppm is still far from that. But having too much for too much time put the system on a roll into a direction that we don't want. And we are not decreasing it, but still accelerating the rate at which we emit it.
Yeah there is a lot of crazy things happening all at once, some at sea, some with lasers over Hawaii, some with balloons. Not sure what this adds up to. Alone, each incident seems quite manageable but together its sort of overwhelming.
HN vibe when ET life is finally acknowledged by government: “ is it just me or does this sound unremarkable? I mean think about it the universe is so big.

And then NIMBYs call efforts to allow taller buildings “one size fits all”, whereas it’s the exact opposite: the status quo in these neighborhoods is one size (SFHs only) fits all.
No I’m not. You can gather that light turns e.g. Liquids into vapor and slowly build systems from there. You are so biased looking at todays tech you can’t even step back and picture alternative ways to find electricity. It’s a lack of imagination full stop.
> Since the less wealthy person couldn’t cover the mortgage to begin with

In the US, this isn't true. It's not uncommon for property to rent for higher than the cost of mortgage, taxes and insurance. That is, be profitable from day one (assuming 20% down).

People complain about being able to afford a mortgage but not being given one. Or not being approved for a monthly payment of Y and instead paying Y+X a month in rent.

In China, the situation you described exists. Have no idea about in Europe.
I can see this behaviour being useful if you are no longer interested in the result of a "pure" task. For example imagine fetching some data via HTTP. If you no longer need to response canceling the request could make sense.

But I agree that this is unexpected and most code probably isn't ready for being cancelled at random points. (Although I guess in Python your code should be exception safe which is often similar)
Let me tell you about Spain. It appears to be a relatively low density country, but if you look at where people live, an extremely high percentage of the population lives in an apartment. Your average Spaniard lives in a square km that is about as dense as NY's upper east side. Therefore, based on your argument, you'd expect a lot of renters, right?

As it happens, While about a third of Americans rent, only about a fifth of Spaniards do: 78% of households live in an apartment they own. That's because regulation is set up in ways that make renting a pretty bad deal. I live in some midwestern suburb, and half of my street rents, as companies have outbid individual sellers when the people that originally bought their houses died or downsized. They are owned by Delaware companies, and good luck figuring out who is really behind them.

So while it might be a good idea to minimize renters, the tie between rentals and apartments in urban living is just regulatory. Suburbs are in no way immune to being purchased by investors: It's just that investors try to aim for properties that are expected to grow up in value the fastest, and it just happens that those tend to be in urban centers and in suburbs that are very close to said centers.

So really, limiting building dense housing is, if anything, going to make the problem worse, as it limits housing supply. If you want to prevent renting, make it a worse deal, tax wise, for companies to own and manage rental property. Again, the very dense Spanish cities do a better job at this than the US does.
But only if they are the kind of people to change based on that information, etc.

And if free will absolutely does not exist and we're just the results of the sum of our experiences, then it's also inevitable that the abolition of slavery was going to happen because that's the sum of the total.

Free will is binary. You can't have just a little of it. And if the argument is that a lot of what we do is unconscious, then that's not arguing against free will. That's arguing against something else.
That’s an amazing initiative. Best of luck! :)

Essentially, the power of money grows exponentially. A well-off tech person earning a few hundred thousand dollars per year has the financial power equivalent to dozens of minimum wage people. I agree that we’re now at the point where there is so much money at the top that the power imbalance is too influential to be ignored. A few decades ago, the number of wealthy people was so small and their reach so short that it was unlikely the average person would experience any of their influence… nowadays, every block has someone wealthy enough to be buying up property with borrowed money to turn it into an airbnb. The influence of money today has permeated every aspect of our lives. And we, as well off tech people, are partly to blame.
The upzoning will mostly affect walkable neighborhoods because those are the ones where there is most demand and where density will fit better. Those would be the pre-war streetcar suburbs and similar post-war suburbs.

The funny thing is that there are “missing middle” apartments in my neighborhood and similar ones. The duplexes and up were just banned for decades.
There's a lot of, to my read, stupid bureaucratic stuff in there, like about the penalties. Are all of the notams like this? I would have expected that they were effectively mandatory by virtue of being issued and didn't need all the stupid warnings

Interesting point that seems quite valid to me. We use different modes of thinking from analytical to emotional, verbal to nonverbal, reactionary, etc. It is possible that LLMs are the key to one of brains modules responsible for producing/processing language but it does not involve or has any knowledge of the other modules necessary for getting closer to human intelligence.

Bugs stemming from the architecture of a poorly specified system become insecurities for the people who rely on that system.

One of the major reasons why Python’s leadership refused to optimize python’s performance, besides Guido’s intransigence, was because they treated the CPython implementation as the specifications.

Legions of script kiddies built their programming identities around the belief that python must be slow, because to admit otherwise would require changing the system.
> I could argue that there are far more examples of failed capitalist states

You might be able to yes. But the whole point is that it is disingenuous to dismiss literally all criticism, of any attempts at either capitalism or communism, by just saying "Well thats not real X!"

Eventually, yes, you have to accept criticism of your ideology, by looking at the actual real life attempted examples of that ideology.

I am not saying that literally every single bad thing, done by a group that calls themself communist is valid criticism of communism.

But some actual examples of attempted communism can be used as criticism of communism.

So no, you cannot just ignore literally every single example of attempted communism. Yes, eventually we have to look at those examples. Some of them, at least.

> it’s just not a useful way to go about it.

Of course it is a useful way to look at problems with a system. A good way to find problems with a system, is to look at actual attempts to enact that system.

It does not answer every single possible benefit or criticism of a system. But yes, it is useful to look at the actual examples of a system. Thats called empirical evidence.

If they locked in the rates for 30 years, then they can be leveraged and probably be fine. Anyone know if investment properties are eligible for the same 30-year fixed that primary homes are?
Additionally, if we are to expect that much of our political, economic, and technical elite are to pass through these institutions - and, further, that such institutions will trade explicitly on their ability to produce this elite - then there is an inherent public interest in the character of their operations. It's simply a matter of accountability.
That's a lot of text obscuring "we might decide to kill you, and that will be just fine". I might have even moved that up above "we might fine you".
