The investors entering the market today will make prices go up today, but have the effect of reducing prices in the future (either or renters or buyers, depending on how to investor chooses to recover his investment). Investment in housing in past decades has reduced the price families need to pay now. There a zero investors in housing who are not out to either provide housing for rent or to eventually sell housing.

>because this isn't what we see happening.

What we see happening has alternative explanations, for example: there are millions of very-high-paying jobs in the Bay Area, which is course is generally a good thing, but it has the undesirable effect of making it hard or impossible for families that do not have one of these very-high-paying jobs to live here because there are strong barriers to the creation of new housing, which forces the people with the high-paying jobs to spend more than want to spend on housing, which (happily for them) they are able to do (because of their high income) but which sadly makes it impossible or very onerous for lower-income families to live in the Bay Area. Most of these barriers are in the form of regulations imposed by local governments. Where I live for example in Marin County, growth is controlled (kept below the level investors as a group would prefer to have it at) in part by denying new housing projects the ability to connect to the Marin Municipal Water District, I have heard.

I don’t know what you think a life coach does. But one that solves their own problems and is happy is probably a good one.

I think one thing we have leaned over time is it is not always possible to change how one thinks.

For example. Some men like women, and do not find other men attractive at all. No amount of conditioning may change this. Or even something as simple as eating, an urge so strong that reasoning about it id nearly impossible.

What if this man had the same feeling about penis size as other men about desiring women?

Of. Note. I have never desired a larger penis, but worried it was smaller than desired by the opposite sex. When thinking about it, I prefer the size I am, as a the large floppy ones look like they get the way of normal day to day interactions.

Accessibility seems to be a blind spot for most in tech because we don’t think disability will happen to us, or if it does, it will be a long time from now.

What people often don’t consider is that even if that is true, the likelihood that you will care for someone with a disability — an aging parent, a spouse, or a child - increases the likelihood of lack of accessibility impacting your ability to enjoy your (shared) life.

>Someone who understood basic economics wouldn't assert that investors are ruining the housing market for individual family buyers without explaining how the housing market or one particular housing market is different from all the other markets were investors are helpful for bringing products and services to individuals and families.

So the housing market is different because housing serves as shelter. Investors owning multiple properties are eschewing the actual utility of the asset and only focused on its value. From the perspective of a society wanting to house its citizens and improve quality of living, it's a very inefficient use of the asset and the land that its on.

Because investors often have more cash than ordinary family buyers, they are able to outbid family buyers. This happens regularly and is one of the core reasons for the argument made initially.

Because investors might buy and sell housing more often than a family who actually inhabits a home, this increases the money velocity in the market and drives prices upwards as more sales are made. Canada is a good example of this: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/P-25.2/page-1.html

All of this means that some portion of the house's price is only based on speculation (other parts being land, construction quality, location, amenities, etc.). This means that investors that buy houses to speculate are simply increasing prices with no material improvement to the asset.

If we were talking about stocks or assets-that-aren't-also-necessities, these reasons wouldn't be a problem.

Yea this ain’t it. A swipe would be a personal attack, such as calling OP lazy vs calling the commentary lazy. A single action doesn’t make a person who they are and we should be calling out lazy commentary when we see it. “Please don’t do this again” is about as polite as one can possibly be while calling out bad behavior and leaves the door open for the person to grow. The fact that you’re citing guidelines to me while saying nothing to OP is kinda confusing. What is your goal here?

It's an alignment problem. Any ruler has to keep the right people happy to stay in power. An autocracy has a couple choices how to do that. You can use military and police, you can use religion, you can make the population richer with great economy or great social programs, you can bring law and order to a previously crime-torn country, etc. Each of these gives someone the power to dethrone you, and the state typically has to spend large amounts of resources to keep those people happy.

The "genius" of democracy is that it guarantees that at least half the population is in that group, because a popular vote can dethrone the government. That doesn't mean they are the only group the government is paying off to stay in power, but better to be in than to be out.

One of the problems we have currently is that the population is aging, meaning it's more rational to cater to old people who on average dislike change. This eventually leads to stagnation or even regression.

I can't speak to the German translation, but the point the English version is making is you don't install Snowflake, you install software that uses Snowflake (most typically, Tor Browser). It's presumably trying to clarify things for confused users trying to figure out how to install Snowflake as a proxy or VPN application, when that's not how it works.

edit to add the direct quote (which seems pretty clear to me): "Unlike VPNs, you do not need to install a separate application to connect to a Snowflake proxy and bypass censorship. It is usually a circumvention feature embedded within existing apps."

> Everybody has an opinion about their little corner of the system, and no one is willing to understand anyone else's opinion

This is true. If you talk to someone in insurance, fraud is a huge problem, and doctors providing expensive treatments for the wrong conditions is also a huge problem. They are society's defense against doctors prescribing exotic $20k/month cancer medicine for allergies because they heard a rumor it was 5% better than Claritin, and sending every patient with a cough to their brother-in-law's MRI clinic. And this is true to some extent (especially about the brother-in-law's MRI clinic.)

If you talk to a doctor, they won't outright say it, but they're committing insurance fraud on the daily so they can provide basic care. If they talk to a patient about how they've been eating differently since their spouse died, or they spend ten minutes coaxing details about pain from somebody who is reluctant to talk about it, they're going to bill that time as something they're 100% sure the insurance company will pay for. So it might go down as a consultation about blood pressure. Maybe they even think there's a good chance the insurance company will pay for it, but between the insurance companies constantly changing things and the doctor not having complete confidence in their office staff to figure out the right code, they just write down something that they're sure about.

I don't know what happens if you put a doctor and someone from an insurance company in a room together. They probably have a system of polite lies to tell each other.
Employers aren't printing up more money. Yes, labor costs going up impact profits but what about labor costs of management? That has gone up significantly:

"From 1978 to 2021, CEO pay based on realized compensation grew by 1,460%, far outstripping S&P stock market growth (1,063%) and top 0.1% earnings growth (which was 385% between 1978 and 2020, according to the latest data available). In contrast, compensation of the typical worker grew by just 18.1% from 1978 to 2021"

I always have subtitles on in any TV show, streaming show, YouTube, etc. I can't even think of the last time it wasn't an option. (The subtitles for the news have a 15 second delay due to it being a real-time broadcast, which is a bit distracting but acceptable.)

No it wouldn't.

When you burn carbon (coal) and produce CO2, you get about 400 kJ for each mole of CO2 produced. When you burn hydrogen, you get about 300 kJ for each mole, but one molecule of water H2O contains half the oxygen of one molecule of CO2. So you get 600 kJ for 2 moles, which contain the same amount of oxygen as one mole of CO2. In other words, when you burn hydrogen you produce 50% more energy than when you burn carbon for the same amount of oxygen removed from the atmosphere.

Since the start of the industrial revolution we've increased the CO2 in the atmosphere from 280 ppm to 420 ppm, or an increase of 140 ppm (parts per million). Which means we've reduced the oxygen in the atmosphere by 140 ppm (each molecule of CO2 produced removes a molecule of O2). A quick google shows me there's 20.947% of oxygen in the atmosphere. Which means before the industrial revolution we had 20.947% + 0.014% = 20.961% oxygen. If we wave a magic want, and rewrite history so that all coal and fossil fuels were replaced by pure hydrogen, then we would have removed only about two thirds of the oxygen, or about 90 ppm. So we would have had more oxygen, not less. By about 0.005%, or 20.952%.

In any case, I don't think any impact on life would be felt whatsoever if the concentration of oxygen is 20.952% rather than 20.947%.
