> buyers (who might want to become landlords) will price lower if they know there is a vacancy tax in anticipation of future vacancies

Prices will... lower, you say? Sounds like the policy working as intended.

> It turns out that newer stock is more expensive

Not news to me, and in fact this is one of the first dynamics I considered years ago when trying to figure out why new supply doesn't drive costs down. Especially combined with price feedback (landlords looking at how others are setting prices) I still expect it plays a role.

> you have cause & effect backwards.

Cause for what? Overrepresentation of "luxury" units in new buildings? Building costs are nearly orthogonal to the question of which economic strata new units get aimed at, except to the degree that they're gently sloped across markets enough that they encourage chasing higher margins at the higher end.

> even if it were true that developers are only building permanent luxury/new stock, that would still be key to shifting the price down

I'm just barely not skeptical about this. I've seen at least two studies that suggest it, although I have questions about how well they controlled for how much of the downmarket pressure was relieved by people leaving, but it's plausible.

What's also plausible is that which price points new stock comes on to the market at what volume affects how the rising cost curve bends. You can dump an extra 5% of stock priced above the top of the market, and you'll have nearly all the potential occupants priced out, and even those with disposable income they could use for that will have to decide the new units have more utility to the point that overcomes the costs in time/money/stress of moving, which makes some things sticky indeed, so the filtering "up" the market will be slow. What might accelerate the disposable income crowd out? Rent increases... but those aren't going to speed the motion of the downmarket into the units they leave behind. It'll filter through eventually, but it will be glacial. Especially compared to what could happen if you dumped the extra 5% of stock in at price points that can work for the average regional income.

Those are extremes, in reality I'd expect that developers distribute which income they're targeting a little more carefully, but they illustrate some impact dynamics that probably mean building at the high end doesn't provide cost relief as quickly.

> none of the individual units being built by apartment developers are more luxury than owning your own SFH in San Francisco... many more of those homes sit empty as second homes than units in apartment buildings.

Oh I'm sure that's a greater luxury, and I see no reason why they should receive any exception to vacancy taxes. In fact, I could see a reason for having them weighted by vacant area.
OP is more worried about how it effects Ambitious people.

Ambitious people are a small subset of the chimp troupe, and they usually end up in charge cause they dont mind doing mindless bullshit everyday, as long as they get their status elevated. Society calls this activity 'hard work' and rewards it cause it keeps the factory lights on. When the chimps run a factory/institution/military/govt you need a "socio-economic ladder" structure to keep the chimps in line. A hierarchical structure based on domination and obedience, rewards and punishment, respect and trust and even that thing called love. Will we require all this when robots do things better?

Sort of like in sports you have these ever optimizing robotic humans practicing night and day, to gain some milli second advantage over some other robot. For what? So nike and coke can sell more unnecessary shit to everyone. Now if coke and nike can entertain you with two AGI robots instead, ever optimizing to entertain and "break records" every other game (for optimal attention capture) then what do we need sports stars for?

When robots do what robots do - their 'hard work', 'calculated risk' night and day, day in day out, do we call it Ambition to climb the 'socio-economic ladder'?

The method feels problematic. The first trials are basically learning that one can associate celebrities with animals. Repeating that same type of task to the same group feels like latent learnings behind the first trial could account for a causal amount of the improvement.

The issue in GP's idea is, that there isn't such a referrer field (his first sentence is correct). And even if RDP has it, the service would be limited to RDP, and GP's idea is probably to have it for any service thinkable, e.g. also SSH.

A solution on top of that would be for this obscuremyshit.com service to have a client-side listener. So if I get a hit on the page obscuremyshit.com/393nnasjhf83u98723401 from IP x.y.z, the obscuremyshit client running on the target cimputer gets a signal from the obscuremyshit server to "Open port 22 and allow a connection from the IP x.y.z" (I guess that means the client would have to be in control of the firewall rules), and then the computer with the IP x.y.z would have to establish a connection within a timeframe.

Of course it would get more complicated if e.g. the above URL is hit from a different IP address (e.g. from someone's phone over 5G, and the SSH connection wants to come from a laptop over a cafe WiFi).

Persistence beyond rethrowing your RCE is generally desirable not only because they limit the chain's exposure (each time you throw it, you're risking your $>1MM chain being captured and patched!) but because it allows you to use less reliable bugs and one-clicks, both of which are substantially cheaper and easier to find and develop. Fully interactionless bugs are really hard to come by and are not something you'd typically want to risk burning every single time a target's phone runs out of battery. If you can get a persistence bug, you're in a much better spot because then you only risk a few bugs (persistence+kernel chain) which, while still very high value, are more easily replaced.

There are a lot of public employees and contractors who would have no way to live in the bay area if it wasn't for the $300 million a year homeless budget for a few thousand homeless. They need those homeless to provide justification for their good government jobs, which is why they cater to them so heavily by allowing them to sleep anywhere, ignoring most crimes they commit and providing them with a safe place to buy and take drugs.

All that has to happen is tax revenue has to fall and the spending will decrease and the homeless will go to some other place where they can live a better drugs and camping lifestyle. Having lived for some time a few years ago in the Tenderloin, the idea that the homeless in S.F are normal people who have fallen on hard times is a complete simulated reality that has almost nothing to do with the actual situation.

SF is the solve everything with more money city because more money is always to the benefit of people working government jobs. For another example, look at the 1 billion dollar per mile recent subway extension, for example. That 1 billion went to somebody and employed a lot of people.

Sweden has the lowest excess deaths count in the western world. They didn't lock down. That's not a coincidence.

Lockdowns increased social dysfunction, and this is the root of excess deaths. Funny how you also aren't mentioning the education disaster that the hysterical, statistically illiterate cowards who closed schools caused. Schools in EU and Asia were open. Just the North American fools closed theirs.

Btw, I know many people who blame excess deaths on the mRNA vaccines. They have the same data that you do for your theory of covid infection causing excess deaths: correlation and nothing else.

Drug overdoses are way up. Crime is up. Loneliness and depression and mental illness are at all time highs.

The vast majority of covid deaths were senior citizens. The vast majority of excess deaths happening now are working age people. And cowards who became irrational won't admit this because it's too painful for them to admit their complicity.

> The Open Source part of a hosted software solution is about giving me a sense of security that it's safe to use the product in the first place.

Do you mean as in auditable? Would you settle for source available for this use case? Sounds like you also value the ability to use it to self-host for free if something goes wrong, right?

My company makes a security and automation product that customers self-host (we do the deployment for them if they need, which typically they do except where you need to be cleared, then we train on a demo system and they do it themselves), but we don't make it open source because we think it's hard to capture the value in that case. As in: you can self-host valuable IP for free for commercial use under OSSL, and we get volume-discounted 5/seat/mo with SaaS if you really want to? We're scared people will just not pay.

I guess the jury is still out for us, but we used to have a OSS product with degraded quality, but we found it inefficient because customers would try to upgrade that rather than bothering with licensing, get stuck, then get fed up. So patient was a limited resource. So we remove the artificial limitations, but also make it non-open-source, but free for noncommercial use (governments, non-profits, etc, because they are either too big to close, or didn't have budget, but their adoption is good signal). So we won't do OSS in future for that product.

We make it source available, so it can be audited, and free to use non-commercially, but not free to self-host commercially (possible to, but you need to license it). We haven't gone the SaaS route because: 1) customers often want to use their own infra anyway, 2) customers have different customization needs, 3) we always thought about SaaS like 1000s of individual consumer accounts and we weren't sure that was the right fit, and 4) embarrassingly it's pretty complex to build the infra for SaaS especially without being sure there are customers for that.

Tho with the recession, we're considering adding SaaS. Our competitors often have SaaS offerings, and the pricing certainly can work at "developer prices" (5 a month or less, depending).

Not only that, there was agreement among the allies on which war criminals would be turned over to whom for punishment. So the USSR might have preferred a trial since those who committed the worst offenses in the USSR would be turned over to them instead of being shot by the British.

A good example are the Cossacks that fought on the side of the Axis. Although they were taken as POWs by the US and UK, they were put on trains and shipped back to the USSR to their eventual deaths.
