Negative gearing is made out to sound much worse than it is. If anything, it's a benefit to wage earners by allowing them to pay a business expense from their pay. It's just a standard deduction afforded to investors for business expenses.

IIRC it's actually quite difficult for foreign buyers to get into the market, and expensive as well.

The housing vacancy rate is lower than ever. There definitely aren't millions of empty houses.

Largely the issue is just going to be too many people and not enough houses where they are needed. The more liberal we are with permitting apartment and unit construction, the better things will be in the long term. I'm not sure restricting migration is the solution - but you can definitely argue that the rate is too high.

This sounds like web.dev are advocating devs don't do feature detection and progressive enhancement, and adopt a "don't use a feature until it's in all browsers" mindset. I mean, you should detect support regardless just in case, but if you approach building apps with a more "I'll use whatever the user has available" way of thinking you can deliver better experiences (in my opinion), even if it makes a dev's life a little harder in some cases.

It's a surprising move from the web.dev team to say the least. If I was being cynical, and I am, I'd suggest this move is designed less to be 'helpful' and more to highlight how far behind Chrome other browsers are. It's like lots of pages are saying "This is a lovely feature, but don't use it because of clunky old Firefox" rather than saying "This is a lovely feature, and here's how to use it, including a polyfill/workaround for browsers that don't support it yet."

If I'd posted the same thing about $group I'd have had plenty of free speech defenders saying it's my right to ask questions have debate, express views etc. But apparently if I want to have similar types of debate about $group then it's not my free speech it's just me being violent in my words etc.

My suspicioun is a lot of "unlimited free speech" views are based on all debate being abstract chin stroking rather than having their own existence potentially be questioned and subject to the same kind of interrogation that are commonly expressed on the internet in hate speech.

For most people who are on the end of these "intellectual debates" there's not just fear created from what if a political group holding X views gets into a position of wielding power but there's also stochastic violence often from repeated assertions that they belong to some hive mind (e.g shootings in mosques and synagogues alike). These are always hand waved away by people who just want to pretend like it's all an abstract parlour game wether from malice or lack of caring.

Also would add, RE just isn’t that complex. It’s mostly standardized contracts in use. The contract to rent an apartment is usually more complex than the average RE sales contract. Read them ahead. Study the market to form your own opinions. Learn about what’s actually happening (agent can be helpful here) and what negotiating techniques you can deploy in the process. For most people, it’s worth your time.

The point from the article is that purification of the medium in which you cultivate the cells is arguably more CO2 intensive (4-25x they claim) than animal production.

Numbers on CO2 of animal agriculture are often hard to pin down, as many decide to include or exclude parts of the emissions for different reasons - make sure that that is taken into consideration when considering eating animals.

On this note, I find it increasingly infuriating to keep coming across people who blame all housing shortage issues on eeeeeevil investors and landlords, and spout a lot of bullshit about massive vacancy rates that don't exist, when the blatant root supply-and-demand cause is that there's just not enough physical housing in the places that people want to live.

You see exactly the same kind of stuff endlessly parroted in the US by people who somehow think that confiscating property from all landlords will make the millions [1] of needed housing units just manifest out of thin air.

> These two groups also have high defection rates of around 50%

Not even close. Orthodox Jews is closer to 15%, and of those a majority stay within the Jewish community, but are less Orthodox. i.e. still religious just less so (eg. observe the major holidays, but not necessarily the day to day stuff, or maybe some of the day to day stuff that feels meaningful to them, but not everything).

> I can see secularism dying out long term, which I consider a philosophical tragedy.

Fallacy of the excluded middle. There's something in between Orthodox and completely secular.

You are also ignoring the dynamics - people are constantly shifting, there is never a stable equilibrium.
The math doesn't work though. 50% defection rate and only 50% higher birth rates won't work. If the average woman has 2 children, the religious subgroup one would have 3. On average, 1.5 of those would defect, so the average woman produces more members of her group.

This is borne out by the data. If you look at the ASRI, from 1990 to 2008, the percentage of LDS (and other similar groups) has remained stable in the US.

Only Islam and Buddhism saw (very minor) growth, the rest was a massive surge in secularism.

That's a feature, not a bug. The 'news' is 90% useless, if not descrutive, information. Ask yourself: what percentage of the news is optimal to maintain your worldly wisdom? I'd guess about 1%. So getting it down to 10% is half way there, on a logarithmic scale.
>I wish more older Americans understood how these people really work.

I wish more Americans overall understood how real estate works. I see people get screwed all the time because of bad information. Here's an example: several times a year I will talk with a member of the public who will say something like "we want to work with the listing agent because then we won't have to pay as much commission" not understanding that in fact they are (assuming a traditional two sided commission offered by the seller) actually just giving that listing agent both sides of the deal.

Or, similarly, they will say things like "we want to work with the listing agent because it's their listing so they will know the most about the property" again, not realizing that depending on your state, the rules for dual agency may not give you as a buyer the same representation as getting your own separate buyer's agent. In fact in some states, you may not actually be getting any representation at all, IE: they fill out the paperwork on your behalf but actually represent the seller.

Those are just some trivial examples, but it's dumbfounding how many bad ideas the public has about real estate. So much of my job is hours of educating my clients apart from anything related to the actual transaction.
Seems like this guy didn't even really have a financial incentive for this stunt - it cost him $5000 for the plane and another $5000 for the helicopter to pull it out of the forest. All that for $8000 from the metal wallet company.

Same logic does not apply to the upper management because they are not directly involved in generating value for the company. Elon Musk is not out there writing code, Tim Cook is not assembling iPhone or even designing it. Telling someone what to do is not even close to the labor of person actually doing it. And when the "upper management" makes bad decisions and results in huge losses, bottom rung employees are the first one to go.
I was diagnosed with ADHD because I asked my doctor after someone on the internet spotted some symptoms and told me that ADHD medication might help.

Ask HN: How do you share cURL requests within your company?
cURL request might contain sensitive data like Auth headers, exact request payload. Also sometimes cURL requests are obtained from logs of a user session.

And, devs need to share cURL requests in order to reproduce an issue and communicate context to another dev.

I know of a platform called Zerobin to share secure messages. I am thinking to host an internal server of Zerobin and use that to share cURL & other secrets within the company.

How are you dealing with this?

I'm in Europe, and also believe that iPads are unbeatable when talking about price - in both nominal and price/value ratio sense.

I have been an iPad user for over a decade. 2 years ago I was shopping for a new tablet. I went to a local electronics shop trying some of them out: the affordable (~300 EUR for me) Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung ones all stuttered even in their own setting menu. The high end Samsungs were nice - starting at 600EUR.

Settled for a base iPad for 300 EUR. I hate Apple, but iPads are literally cheap, have good performance, and offer more than magnified phone applications, even with the crappy iOS.

I wish Go also had this:

for v := range vs {}

instead of this:

for _, v := range vs {}

How often do you need to have both the element and its index? I'd say it's not the majority of cases. And now you have to type "_," in 99% loops.

That would be a far more serious breaking change, however. Although, that would only in practice affect integer lists (i.e. code silently compiles). For other types, the compiler would complain about type mismatch errors and refuse to compile (which is better than nothing).

The jankiness is intentional. Apparently it helps weed out people that'd catch on to the scam. Someone dumb or desperate enough to call a hand-written sign is more likely to follow through to the end without getting suspicious.

Python can be JIT compiled, so far most efforts failed short due to CPython FFI API.

Plenty of other dynamic languages have proven the point already.
The 42S was also mostly backward compatible with programs written for the 41C, intending to be its modern replacement. It did have an IR connection for some expandability (this was pre-USB era).

I'll also note that, with regards to using an HP42S today, most of their LCD screens have not aged super well and have faded a lot. Other models like the HP15 and HP32S(ii) have LCD screens that seem to age a bit better for whatever reason (potentially the support for the menu and limited graphing behavior of the 42S required some slightly different LCD parts). I have all these models, but wouldn't recommend an original 42S to anyone but a collector due to screen visibility issues - my HP15C and HP32S are plenty usable still though.

I also highly recommend the Swiss Micro replicas if you like RPN calcs. Very solid attempts at reproducing and modernizing some timeless calculators.

> Go is successful because it strikes a strong balance between what practical software engineering organizations need from a language, of which safety is only one constraint.

This is a laughable claim when you've seen other languages (which have resulted in billion dollar companies with low engineering burden) that have done much better than go at this.

Go is successful for other reasons, mainly it plays into the biases of certain class of developers and managers.
Exactly. It's like the laryngeal nerve of the giraffe. It did the job for millions of years but there is no good reason other than history for why it still needs to loop around the heart.

There are still more people using Firefox on Windows 7 than using Firefox on macOS (or if that's not the case anymore, the flip would have been recent).
Too early to tell, but it might have negative implications for the startup ecosystem.

The HN discourse towards Google Search has been been very negative the last few years, and I never see HN users giving Google credit for:

- It's often the #1 source of referral traffic for many businesses.

- The value of the ecosystem built on the back of Google Search is probably in the same ballpark, if not higher than Google's own market cap ($1T+).

- The value of the ecosystem built on Google Search is probably higher than the value of the ecosystem built on every other platform combined - YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc.

- It's one of the few ways startups can compete with incumbents.

Does it have problems? Yes.

Could it be better? Yes.

My concern is that if Google Search fundamentally changes and sends less traffic to businesses, is calcifies incumbents and makes it harder for new upstarts to get traction with better products.

An example might be invoicing or accounting software. If new upstarts can't leverage search to grow, everybody is just going to use Quickbooks - forever.

It has mostly failed, because contrary to the other dynamic languages, back to the early Lisp compilers, there is a community resistance to JIT adoption and most relevant refactoring C API on CPython.

In no way is Python more dynamic than Smalltalk, SELF or Common Lisp, which can at any given time redefine any object across the whole execution image and were/are mostly bootstraped environments.
