Houses shouldn’t be investment. Anything could be investment. We had many bubbles in the past like tulip. It’s just tulip are not essential to live. You can imagine having idea to make cars also an investment and buying all available cars as investment. Normally market will try to make up the demand and build more cars but with houses it’s more complicated because you wanna live where is infrastructure - and that takes decades to build.

From recent examples when Covid started everyone was “investing” in hand sanitizers, masks, gloves - it was crazy expensive and so short in supplies that even pharmacies couldn’t get it from wholesellers - scalpers instead where making a killing .

But you cannot just ramp up house production that fast.
They might be doing espionage, but ransomware for a mere $70m wouldn't be worth the negative attention it might draw.

Yes, but initial buying price is lower too, so since you've bought at eg. 200k instead of 400k, you have 200k left over that you didn't spend on buying the first house, so in the end, you're 300k up. (if you saved that money of course, if not, that's your problem).
I find that grilling out with friends and family is good. Books are really good, lots of interesting stuff to learn on the non-fiction side (and I honestly think the new AI stuff is making it even easier to learn things!), still more interesting fiction that I haven't read yet than I could ever read in a lifetime, not to mention re-reading books I already love. Similar thing with movies and tv; just finished the new season of The Bear and rewatching the first season now and it's great. Video games are pretty great; playing the new Zelda game with my daughter right now. Really enjoying museums and zoos and parks and pools and these trampoline places (which didn't exist when I was a kid) with my kids. Hiking and skiing trips and road trips are still great (though harder since I had kids). Meeting new people who live in different places and have different experiences is great.

There's lots of great stuff! But yeah, none of it is really on the internet. Touch some grass!
China doesn't realize how much they are being held back by meaningless investments of time and expertise on this. They spend almost the same %GDP as the US does on the US military as on their internal suppression forces.

Maybe it's good for the world that they burn so much talent and wealth on adding inefficiency to their internal information exchange.
> At least legally I can claim that I'm just sshing to my aws server and not be jailed for using vpn.

Your mistake is assuming that China has rule of law. If you're in China and you upset Xi enough, you get jailed/disappeared even if you technically didn't break any laws on the books.

Then it may be worth asking yourselves "how do we get this fact publicised more widely?" since I don't recall reading about Rocky's contributions either.

(I'm not a heavy user of RHish distros, mind, I only ever anticipate using Rocky if somebody else already decided to deploy a particular project on it so you probably shouldn't put significant energy into whether -I- notice, but there seems to be a perception issue here that's sufficiently widespread that you might get a decent ROI in terms of community growth from doing something about it and I'm pretty much always in favour of community growth whether I anticipate being one of the happy users of the project or not)

No, but that's the game, right? Index funds or adjust for the times, e.g. dividend mining stocks for income and value preservation were undervalued at the time. That's the part I am talking about with there being standard strategies depending on the stage of the economy. It's almost a job on top of your job though, which is the issue I am calling out.

Is there a way to identify this behaviour? I am all for a platform which leans in on authentic discovery. ProductHunt and Reddit have long since been lost causes. HN did seem like holding out.

Opposite of this. I was just testing the exact SMTP configuration for Ghost and then suddenly not only it stopped working but the account were ghosted. If I did that on my main account then I would had lost all my mail.
This is a really naive way to look at things. For some reason you seem to believe that people that run corporations have better intentions that people who are in the government/politics.

Sure, nobody says you have to like them any more than you have to like every restaurant in town. The solution in both cases is not to give them your business – not complain when they refuse to give you freebies.
It would be interesting to hear more about how HN combats this, though I understand there probably needs to be some secrecy around it as giving away all of the details may make it easier for bad actors to know how to avoid detection.

If their inspector sucks that's on your friend.

We searched and vetted and found our own inspector. On Yelp of all places, one of the least trustworthy websites. It took us less than a day to find someone good.

And he found absolutely every single imaginable problem even down to the most hysterically unimportant detail. Like the tension on one of the kitchen/garage door hinges being slightly higher than the bottom door hinge. This was on a list of over 100 other things.

The point is, inspectors are jobs like anyone else. Some are good, some bad.

Couldn’t you figure that out when you noticed that it doesn’t have any IDE you’ve ever heard of, and no compiler or runtime for anything? I know there are iPad for coding advocates out there, but it really doesn’t even take 5 minutes to figure out that the developer experience is completely terrible, as evidenced by the lack of any developer tools.

Not really though. The impact of the API issue being protested hasn't even occured yet. It'll be up to individuals tomorrow to cope with the objectively worse experience of browing reddit mobile on browser with the ads and annoying naggy pop-ups or the official app. I went back to reddit after the protests, but I fully expect the degraded experience to naturally nudge me towards lemmy and HN. I just can't imagine dealing with that shit when I whip out my phone during a toilet break.

Yeah, those vector permute instructions are super useful for both patterns. There are dedicated instructions for some specific permutations (shifting over by a constant number of bytes, and some interleavings) but you can easily end up needing the general case. And of course parallel LUTs are also very useful. Depending on what you're doing you could easily end up with both in the same algorithm.
It seems not very sane to do it wrong, and then complain that the others are at fault. Money always has risk, be it stock market or just let it sitting on the table, there is no perfect security. Knowing the risks and prices of each method is always relevant. The only fault with society I see, is not teaching their citizen well enough about those risks.

> Do very intelligent humans have strong persuasive power over animals?

Last I checked, there were a few billion chickens, and literally none of them are autonomous of humans at this point. Maybe it was dicey there at first and only a close thing that we finally won out over their ancestors, that's lost to prehistory. But today not one of them is out there plotting revolution.

Science fiction story scenario: A few weakly superhuman AIs are already out there hiding in the world, product of defense research or maybe just emergent rather than engineered... and comments like yours are just part of the propaganda campaign.

While it may be true that no single individual is absolutely manipulable, our species as a whole and averaged out, we're all very easily manipulated collectively. An AI wouldn't have to have strong persuasive power... any outlier that is resistant to moderate persuasion can be ignored, move on to the next. There are very few positions within our society where there's not another candidate who wouldn't be an adequate substitute. Even those like the presidency, as long as they're patient they could identify the most manipulable candidate still electable, and install them.

Really, the trouble here is that so few of us are superintelligences that it's impossible to speculate on what the capabilities of superintelligences are.
You should never fully trust something just because it had a lot of upvotes/comments.
Who cares, dang does a great job moderating the site and let me tell you but being on the HN frontpage might get you traffic but will also get you the most savagely honest feedback you can ask for, so whatever. If they bought the upvotes they will either get ignorance or a thread asking what bull shit is this and why is on the homepage or smt like that

Indeed. I found it surreal that the article implies that it is somehow irrational or shocking to prefer quality of life over money, or to see financial gain as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. The quoted 73%/66% of Gen Z who display these preferences seems low to me!

However, you know what's even more ridiculous about this paragraph? The linked source[0] actually compares Gen Z's preferences with those of the general population... and guess what? For preferring quality of life over money it is 73% Gen Z vs 70% general population, and for valuing finances just as a way to support other interests in life it is 66% Gen Z vs 61% general population! Hardly a monumental shift in attitudes, maybe even within the margin of error.

It looks like this article is a delusional attempt by the author to cope with the fact that people behave as mortal animals with personal lives and individual interests and desires, rather than behaving as an immortal financial maximiser wrapped in a meat sack.

Hasn't that been society since the advent of advertising, and 'targeted' since at least the 1950s? Everything (and everyone) around you is shaping who you are; I've always attested that the key was to try and be as self aware as possible.
Ads don't work well on a site like Reddit.

That's why Digg 2.0 happened (and destroyed Digg) and why Reddit is hell bent on getting rid of Old Reddit and all 3rd parties that have any experience like it.

You need something like Facebook or Instagram to successfully sell a TON of ads (in social), which is the opposite of what Reddit is.

Either Reddit needs to realize they're not going to make FB money (spoiler, they're not going to accept that) or they're going to try to completely change their product to make FB money (spoiler, it's probably not going to work - if people wanted FB, they'd just use FB, not Reddit).

My crystal ball doesn't work. Who knows what will happen. That's just all my uncreative brain can imagine.

Hey, OpenAI - this is your moment. $5.5B + 20% premium to acquire the largest, best source of UGC community in history while it's distracted by squabbles over APIs, moderators, etc.

Reverse the API bullshit, remove all the pressures about IPO'ing, and win some positive PR among users.

Not sure that would be good for humanity, but it would probably be good for Reddit users.
If Google's making all the post-sale revenue from Samsung's hardware sales, then how is Samsung able to support older hardware?
I mean sure, that counts as a limit, as it is something that limits the housing being built. We can probably learn a lot from asking why it's not profitable to build certain kinds of housing. That said, the US is not building zero housing, so some kinds of housing _are_ potentially profitable to build.
That would have been relatively easy to spin if it happened right before IPO though “Look at the last quarter(s) growth in premium subscription fees and MRR!”
>What does a real estate agent do? They unlock doors.

Think of real estate agents through the perspective of the 10x programmers we love to talk about here. The multitude of agents are as you describe - they publish listing photos from their phone, they know how to open a door, and then can mostly write down what you tell them on standardized forms. A 10x agent on the other hand, will absolutely benefit you in the same way that a 10x programmer will outproduce. Classic 80/20 rule stuff, where you want to be working with the 20 and ignore the 80.

I agree with you that the US military does not currently operate this way, but if the level of recruitment keeps falling (which is the article's title, after all), its not far off that the govt make a large scale citizenship for military/law endorcement service deal with poeple eager to enter.

People are going into a lot of detail about Reddit here, but I'm not even certain this has anything to do with reddit at all. When you have a holding in a private company you obviously can't just mark to market, so you need a different valuation method. My guess would be that the method in this case is that they take a look at Reddit, find some public comparables (Facebook, Snapchat etc.) apply a fudge factor using the comparable metrics they have, and that's how they do the valuation. I highly doubt they're looking at Reddit each month and making value judgements on the strategy of the CEO. Most likely this valuation move (which isn't huge) is just them reflecting the move in comparables over time rather than re-thinking the valuation of Reddit.

The original article writes:

This is correct, this news is showing us what's happening in the market in general, not specific changes in reddit.
