But what value does that asset (as an asset) for normal people (=with one home) actually have?

For "investors".. sure.. buy 50 houses, treat them as investments, with limited new construction, the price goes up higher than inflation, you can rent them out, etc.

For normal people? Price going up or down doesn't help them, because they still need a place to live. Can't rent it out, since they need a place to live. Can't really sell it, because then they have to pay monthly for the same thing, sometimes even more than before. Sure, some pensioners without kids might sell their house, ove into a rental for their last few years, and spend the difference on cocaine.. but that's not really a game changer for anyone.

The only problem are the banks, where lower prices mean a shitstorm of revaluating, recalculating morgages, refinancing etc. But for someone with a paid off house, that they live in, if the "global" price of housing goes up or down 50%, it wouldn't matter that much.
Emergency treatment, sure. Something that will kill you in a year, not so much.
At first this didn’t make sense but the title is less informative. It’s private Facebook posts.

These Facebook messages are going to someone. If the person on the other line is willing to reveal their account to law enforcement, then wiretap should not be needed.

And if a Facebook post is to a private group of all your friends then only if the other people reveal your post, should law enforcement be able to access this. Or if there is a wiretap.

This is rationality restored. Finally.

Everyone worries about falling home prices devastating the average retirement plan, but if you don't sell your home when you retire all that high valuation is going to do is add to your property tax expenses. And if the people nearing retirement with high value houses are all planning on selling their homes to downsize, well I think that is going to cause a lot of chaos and pain in the market anyway.

Make homes cheap and cheerful again and provide anti-poverty support for people that show losses in their home asset.
It is difficult but possible.

I have used opioids since the mid-2000s. I am on a low enough dose today that it treats my cancer/Crohns pain but I feel no noticeable psychological effects. I can and do easily taper off multiple times a year for tolerance resets.

Further, every year a number of people in my programme finally taper off methadone for good; the relapse rate is in the low single digits. This is similarly the case for patients in Switzerland’s heroin assisted treatment programme. (I live in Estonia and am on their methadone equivalent.)
Didn't want to sound dismissive here, English isn't my first language so maybe I didn't express myself in the right way.

The let's jump on the call is genuinely to understand what the job to be done is, whether it's something we should cover or not and see if the problem is an education gap in our documentation or a product gap in our offering.

If we're not the right product to serve those specific needs we'd point to the best alternative we know of
cf sibling's comment: You need to factor-in credit's price. I've been looking for a flat near Paris for 2 years, and sure the prices are lowering. But still, the cost (either total cost, or percentage of my salary) for me increased.

My mental model of housing in my area is that I have the n-th salary in that area, so I get the n-th best flat. The pricing will then be exactly what I can afford (which is legally 35% of my salary here). What changes is who gets how much, 3 years ago it would go at 95% to the previous owner, nowadays it's 70%.
So essentially in neither situation did you get any information that changes what you'd do next. If something fails, you'll probably try working on another part and see if that works anyway. The automated status provided you with no extra actionable info.

One of my Discord servers has already taken one look at the Reddit situation and migrated to a self-hosted Matrix server in the pursuit of less corporate captivity (if you're looking for a Matrix client with a Discord-style UX, I recommend Cinny).

To unify the point that GP was making, it's dangerous to let publicly transparent funds take slices of a private company, as their valuation announcements give them control.

In reality, at this scale, I'm not sure if there's an alternative though. Syndicated investment is required to amass the capital levels needed.
The other side of the argument seems to hold very odd assumptions about things like thermodynamics and robotics work, or even intelligence itself. Think of the whole 'AI in a box' argument, which assumes a superintelligence has superior or infinite power to persuade. Do very intelligent humans have strong persuasive power over animals?

> The traditional markers of financial success—from owning a home to snagging that corner office at work—are becoming not only less attainable but also less valuable for Gen Zers.

To be fair, those corner offices might not even exist anymore depending on the employer. From when I started working part-time in college in the early ’00s through today, those sorts of things have disappeared.

I remember how the programmers where I first worked in an entry-level position out of college had their own offices. I’m a staff engineer now, and I don’t even have my own desk (because it’s an open office with hoteling). I hate it.

Reddit has never really had a competent CEO and that has never been more apparent than with Steve Huffman who has no background or skill as a leader. He also was never the one responsible for building and fostering the community side of things, that was Alexis’ department. One could argue that even as a developer he was second fiddle to Aaron. “What would you say you do here, Steve?” - The Bobs

I wouldn’t be sad if OpenAi or Google acquired Reddit as a source for training future models. Don’t try to optimize it for advertising, the value is in the human-created content.
Job losses have to come first. 2008 had a far greater proportion of loans given to people with tenuous cash flows.

Since then, underwriting was tightened up to stop the strippers taking out 4 mortgages situation, so unless we start seeing large scale layoffs causing people to miss payments and lose their homes, you will not see the defaults that cascade into more defaults and so on.
This also works if all houses are 50% cheaper... you pay 50% less to buy it, sell it for 50% less, buy a cheaper house at 50% less, and since you paid less for the initial buy, you have money leftover still.

But if you don't own a house now, you're basically fucked with the current housing prices.
I’ve seen this happen many times in LA. Never in SF, and once in Oakland. I don’t have much experience outside California but helped friends in Chicago buy a condo. It definitely helped that they didn’t have an agent and leveraged the listing agent.

Not having an agent is generally a big asset when buying a home, much more than anything an agent will bring to you.

I like it. Rage, rage, rage against the system.

Perhaps give it some thought about what would happen if housing prices nationally dropped 20-30%.
Show HN: ram-dl – A tool to download more RAM written in Go
Hi HN! I've built ram-dl, a tool that allows you to upload and download RAM to/from your system. Run `ram-ul` to upload RAM, and `ram-dl` to download it. Well, sort of :P

It works like this:

1. Starting a go-nbd server and client locally with r3map's Device API

2. Connecting the NBD server to a remote fRPC[1] backend provided by ram-ul

3. Calling mkswap, swapon and swapoff, which enables paging out to the block device provided by the NBD client and thus to the connected remote fRPC backend.

Its mostly intended as a tech demo for go-nbd[2] and the WIP r3map[3] library (efficient distributed mmap with mounting and migration support), and just as a fun experiment in general.

Product Hunt is completely mismanaged and a dysfunctional community, as you have discovered.
So you should be well aware of community expectations. And so should Red Hat.
Real Estate prices are notoriously sticky. People can't afford to sell if the house goes under water, so they'll keep the listing at the original price up at the original price even if it realistically isn't going to sell.
Thanks! It's hard to imagine how this would work in a complex example that has multiple error paths, but I understand what you mean in the case of same types/one error case. Railway Oriented Programming and all that.
Disclaimer: I'm an ex-oracle employee.

Making millions on DB software only withhold RedHat the pocket change they absolutely deserve is absolutely pathetic. Even with the helpful support and hand holding of then co-workers, I found that Oracle's unbreakable linux is a close to useless rip off, littered with subtle gotchas, pitfalls and please-insert-yet-another-license-key-here.

Installing, tuning and maintaining an OS professionally on enterprise hardware to run enterprise software is the bread and butter of RedHat. I never understood why they insisted pushing their own mediocre engineers instead, and did not want to pony up the (relatively) modest cost of reselling the license.

> I have doubts something has changed at Oracle.

I guess so. It still mystifies me why they haven't gone out of business wearing the emperors cloths.

Physical evidence is perhaps handled with a greater regard, but from what I understand, background info gathered during surveillance isn't always intended for use in court and often really only serves to further the investigation itself. Usually a stakeout is gathering enough probable cause to effectively justify requesting search warrants, which is when the "real" investigation kicks off.

Yes, those numbers are all from the document I linked, the most recent annual report released in March.

Social Security (OASDI) is not very sensitive to inflation since the salary cap on contributions is indexed to average wages and adjusts yearly. The benefits paid out are also adjusted by periodic cost of living adjustments. So when inflation goes up both contributions and withdrawals rise by roughly equal amounts.

It doesn't make much sense to talk about Windows native GUI these days. There's no such thing anymore. Win32 is no longer viable due to using controls and APIs that haven't been updated for years (decades?), ropey support for hidpi displays and other basics. WinUI, the official replacement, has problems and isn't used by large parts of Windows itself anyway.

That's OK though. If you look at this thread, you can see there's been a shift in what people mean when they say "native". It used to be well defined: Win32 on Windows, Cocoa on OS X/iOS, GTK or Qt on Linux, app written in a C-derived language. Nowadays people are using it to mean "not web".

Why has this occurred, well, most people don't really care what exact libraries or languages an app uses. What they care about is the user experience. People are using the word native to mean stuff like, works offline, works with files, isn't too laggy, consumes reasonable amounts of RAM, integrates well with the OS. And above all - uses a sophisticated GUI toolkit. A big part of the native vs web experience gap is that although HTML has a lot of styling functionality it's a seriously impoverished UI toolkit, barely reaching Win 3.1 standards out of the box. So people roll their own widget toolkits that they layer on top, but none of them are all that good and the modern culture of conflating widget toolkits with design systems means they are constantly being tossed out and redone from scratch (this isn't unique to the web, Jetpack Compose has the same issue).

The result is that many widgets taken for granted by Windows 95 users like splitters, menu bars, status bars, pervasive keyboard accelerators, virtualized and editable table views, tree views, customizable toolbars, draggable tabs, floating tool windows etc are just gone and power users are the first to notice this.

You can therefore satisfy people's desire for native apps by providing that sort of UX regardless of what actual tools you use to do so.

Of course, your reaction might be: "these are only one-off cases, it's not systematic!"

What I'm trying to get at is that the AI lacks the ability to exploit these resources.

Life is dependent on either other life or the sun. But a plant can naturally grow its own 'solar panels' and then make more plants. ChatGPT can generate a picture that tells some autonomous agent how to build a solar panel.
>Some young people have adopted a sort of financial nihilism as a response to deteriorating economic conditions, eschewing traditional capitalist norms for ones that are decidedly more self-serving and self-indulgent.

Not at all unexpected reaction to, if you look at it closely, an incredibly depressing present and future- IF the status quo persists.

This level of disaffection is the perfect fuel for a revolution, if young adults choose to make it so. But I don't know how reliable the Gen Z voting tsunami truly is if people escape too far down their fantasy holes.

Has a good cross-media site ever been done, for books, games, shows, movies, and music in one place? Or is there anyone else who has that vision?

I could see myself spending a lot of time on a site where I could maintain one profile/habit for all of them. Each of those alone I enjoy, but I've never been able to make it a regular thing to go to a site for just one of them. I love movies but I'm not so much of a cinephile to put a lot of time into letterboxd, and so on.

Pretty much every day, one of those is important to me. But each of them alone has gaps in my life where I may not care about them much for a few weeks to a few months at a time.
I don't even need to delete my account, I'd be suprised if I didn't get resuspended eventually for like the 16th time at some point this month either when they find out I'm still ban evading or when I inevitably say something the moderation doesn't like again
It'd take a very rare situation for a salon to lower their sticker price, but there are lots of ways to lower effective prices without lowering the sticker price -- sales, bundles, promotions etc. Inflation is calculated using baskets based on prices actually paid rather than sticker prices, so it mostly captures the effects of sales etc.
I don’t argue at all with the negative comments here about iPad coding.

That said, I am happy coding using a mosh client (Blink), tmux, a large VPS that is always on, and a really nice Emacs setup on my VPS. Separately, I like the Working Copy git app. I use my iPad Pro a lot for writing and research (and of course entertainment media) and always being able to instantly get to a tmux screen on my server is very nice. Sometimes I use a large external monitor with StageManager window manager, but usually I just use my iPad, with or without a keyboard.

So I don’t advise other people trying to code on an iPad, since I like Emacs oriented coding, my iPad Pro works fine for me.
So if we don't at least take the word of experts seriously, who should we at least gain insight from? Internet Commenters?

I'm not sure if being born in '86 makes me a geriatric millennial, but I certainly find that I identify far more with the popular notion of Gen Z than the popular notion of millennials -- and I generally find the same is true amongst my fellow millennials, who have no interest in hustle culture, in dedicating their lives to their work, etc.

I think, much as millennials were a decade ago, Gen Z is just a straw man to explain why the world is the way it is. It's the same thing that happens with, for instance, interest rates -- financial reporters always ascribe central interest rates to a particular phenomenon, but as soon as their preferred cause proves unrelated, they find a new certain cause.
