> AFAIK this phase was never completed, and IMO this is a major reason why the web is so centralized today, why users have no control of their data, and why it's primarily aimed towards consumers. ¶ Had publishing content been as easy as consuming it was from the start, there would've been more tooling built around this concept

The original implementation did support publishing content. The problem is that the Web was prototyped on a NeXTCube, and nobody could run it because nobody else had NeXT machines. Most people's exposure to the Web was through the linemode browser or Mosaic, and neither one implemented the full range of functionality that WorldWideWeb.app did (including content authoring). Andreessen reportedly did want a way to do annotations in the browser but it didn't happen precisely because the only way he could think to do it was by coordinating everything with a centralized service.

As for linking specifically, early versions of HTTP had a LINK method, but it was underspecified and eventually removed in later revisions of the standard. If you operate the server, though, you can make it support whatever methods you want, so there's no reason people couldn't take matters into their own hands and bring it back so long as they're able to figure out how it should actually work.
> There are many landlords leaving units empty precisely because they’re sane and rational. In some cases becauee of a lack of regulation whereas in others because of over regulation.

They're just not. It's silly to not offer your vacant unit for lease at record-high rents 'hoping' that one day rents may be even higher. Every month you're vacant you're losing on $3000+. You really think rent growth can outrun missing out on $3000/month, every month? Every month you wait relies on a rent growth rate of ~9% per month just to break even on a 1-year lease if you have no ability to raise rents. I don't know where this theory comes from, but I can't find any data to support it.

When the Berkeley city council passed their tax on vacant units their own analysis indicated that about 1128 units in Berkeley were potentially vacant. Of them only 40% are actually vacant, so about 451 units. Of them, a number are actually being renovated, a number are being rented out without informing the city and about 100 of them are in totally derelict buildings that aren't fit for living in. It's all in the council's assessment on page 2. [1] Berkeley has 46,875 units. So that's a worst case of 2.4% vacancy rate - but more realistically we're talking <1%.

The only thing to be done is build more homes.

In court, you must assert your right to not testify against yourself.

Upon arrest, you're not obligated to speak or answer anything.

The police are not officers of the court, nor involved in court proceedings during their interactions with the public, so there is no expectation or explicit penalty for not answering. In court, while being questioned, you're compelled, under penalty of perjury, to testify in full and truthfully unless there is a reason you can or may not:

> Do you solemnly (swear/affirm) that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
> no sane landlord is leaving their place empty in hopes of market based rental increases

There's plentiful documented cases of this happening. Rent rates for a building influence the average local market rate rents which influence the perspective returns that corporate bonds for landlords / developers in the area. Large scale landlords that hold many units in an area have an interest in not making it seem like rents in an area are decreasing since it limits their credit worthiness. The problem cycles on itself and creates these kinds of perverse incentives on their own due to the financialization of real estate.

Meanwhile, units going empty means there's fewer people that can afford to live in an area and the city collects less taxes, limiting the services they're able to provide for the people and businesses that live/operate there.
Wow. Between the problematic grind culture that conflates "you have only live to serve the shareholders and take no personal time" with "you're valuable", and his constant "you fail at reading comprehension" and circling his own tweets in screenshots a million times and "math is not your strong suit huh, I look forward to giving you your next tutorial" responses, I feel really bad for anyone who is stuck working with this Kirkland Signature Elon Musk.

Oh, man. I lived across the street from an apartment complex in Oakland for about 5 years that had a beautiful ground floor corner commercial real estate unit that was empty the entire time.

Sure, Oakland and all that. But other spots in the neighborhood would see commercial places show up, last months (or years!) and then leave.

This place was perpetually empty. Talking to some shop owners in the area, they would say, “Oh yeah, that location is way too expensive”.

The ultimate reason was this. It was more beneficial for the landlord to have this vacant spot for 5 years than to, god forbid, lower the rent to something the market felt was reasonable.

Weirdly, in the last few months we lived in that area, the unit was converted to residential (?!). A contractor came in for a few weeks to build a better bathroom and kitchen.

It still had the huge glass picture windows and glass door you see in traditional storefronts but someone put up curtains and one of those cheesy “welcome!” mats out front.

I just can’t believe it was more financially advantageous to have 0 rent for 5 years and then renovate vs just having any tenant.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, the issue isn't the contractual obligation but the method of enforcement.

If I sign a contract saying I'll take an apple cider enema and I don't, that doesn't automatically mean I've given permission to have one administered! That might mean I get kicked out of the contract but it doesn't mean that I can be forced to abide by the contract.

Call it elitism, snobbery, parochialism or whatever you like, but I maintain that as a space on the internet becomes more and more mainstream, it gets worse. Eternal September writ large. I remember the old internet, when it was for nerds, and there were barriers of entry. It was a much better place - it was rough around the edges, sure, but it was not some corporate walled garden monetised monoculture, so the good was absolutely worth the bad.

There are some small vestiges of this - HN being one, and the fediverse being another. Reddit circa 10 years ago was like this, and, well - look at it now.

The Facebookification of the Fediverse will be the beginning of the end of that old internet holdout. It will bring the normies and the advertisers, who will file down the sharp edges and narrow the range of acceptable viewpoints until it's just another part of the commercial borg.

It was nice while it lasted I guess.

A surprising amount, but of course that's not the only way of impeding construction. See San Francisco's shadow aversion.

New York City is around 15%. Note that Manhattan has among the lowest prevalence of single-family zoning in the US, and a density of almost 70,000 people per square mile.

83% of the Bay Area is zoned single-family and has a density of just 400 people per square mile.

[edit] If you look at NYC-adjacent counties, Bergen, Fairfield, Nassau, and Westchester the numbers get far worse. About 56% of all housing near rail stations in these counties is classified as detached single-family houses. [1]

Is the root cause Israel's policies, or the very idea that Jews have any right to self determination in their historical homeland?

Because the latter is definitely an antisemitic position.

It is actually possible to support Israel's right to exist while objecting to (some of, or even many of) Israel's policies and actions, but denying that Jews have a valid claim to any of the land kinda puts you outside that camp.

If you choose to have a public account on the fediverse or let someone from another server follow you, you are granting the right to duplicate your data and store it on the other server.

How that data can be processed for a private account is a gray area, but you have authority to determine whether your content is public, and if it is not public who is allowed to see it.
IANAL but I don't think you're required to provide anything to "investigators". Certainly not before consulting your lawyer.

However I believe the court could eventually order you to produce the Rosetta Stone, after various proceedings. At that point you have to decide whether you want to comply with the order or not, and not doing so would likely have negative consequences like being held in contempt.

In that sense .then_some() is sort of a footgun. Compared to a regular if-statement it invites people to write code in a less efficient (and in this case an incorrect manner). It could just have taken a closure instead.

Edit: it turns out there’s also a .then() that does exactly that.

You'll have to be explicit about how you're defining "their home". Just the territory conquered in 1967, or the entire state of Israel?
This is a weird position: it sounds like you’re saying the problem is enforcing laws irrespective of the merits of those laws. I would respectfully suggest that people reporting code violations their landlord is abetting is not the same as authoritiarian military rule.

Note the kind of conditions here:

> Tenants living among empty apartments have described trash, mold, open windows, leaky gas pipes and rodents as scourges in their buildings.

All this bill does is increase the odds of that neglect having consequences for the landlord, and it seems especially fair when there’s been a noted trend of units being left empty during a housing crisis hoping to jack the rent up in the future. This kind of thing has a real impacts on people because the rent controlled apartments they’re talking about are the only option for a lot of working poor.

Yes, it means explicitly saying “I invoke my 5th amendment right.” Generally, if you’re being interviewed, this is surprisingly less of an issue, because you’ve already been read your rights, and the interview will be recorded (theoretically, they can disappear sometimes).

This applies to situations BEFORE an arrest, but you may have already been detained. (The 4th amendment and court precedent has more to say about this, but it’s an aside if you aren’t subject to it.)

If it’s your word against the police, with no recording or some other overwhelming evidence, you will lose in a US court. Police body cams help a lot here, but it’s still best to record every police interaction yourself. It’s an unfortunate situation.

The "invalid tracking number" thing drives me nuts. Both Fedex and UPS do it. How hard is it to stick a record in the database the moment a tracking number is generated so that I don't get a "This tracking number is invalid" message? And it's not like it's invalid for a few minutes; I've had tracking numbers remain "invalid" for almost a day. Absolutely insane.

I can imagine codes of conduct are helping somebody and I wouldn't want to spoil their good times but I'm still a little salty that sqlite was forced to change their terms, based loosely on the Benedictine Order Code, so they could have corporate sponsors.

I'll admit, the internet is everywhere, so every asshole is on the internet. I just remember before the Code of Conduct, there was definitely one less potential layer of assholes above, despite an ever present layer of assholes below, and there seemed to be more crazy and less conformist people.

They had multiple opportunities to establish a state. In fact Gaza was a state with insane financial support from all over the world, probably one of the highest per capita aid recipient in the world from governments and private donors, including Israelis.
It is saying remarkable things about the human condition that we have a tenant and a landlord, their only interactions are to organise the world so that there is somewhere for the tenant to live, and the default relationship is adversarial.

Landlords do have an unfair advantage; see also Georgism. Trying to make a land value tax work will get good results. Reporting people to mother will lead to a lot of fighting and the economic market rates are still going to win in the end.

I did consider that while writing and I decided any reader not from here and unfamiliar with our federal/state divide would understand "U.S. Government" to mean all levels of government.

Pedantically, I believe there are federal universities such as the army, navy and air force academies. There are also city colleges and all of these "government institutions" are funded or controlled by federal, state and/or city taxes which causes them to fall under additional constitutional restrictions.

I disagree. Likely this type of suite would be handled in small claims court so there is no jury and no lawyers. Also, the law is really clear. There is no scenario where trucks are allowed to spill stuff on the road. The only argument they might try is to say that the rock didn't come from the truck but was kicked up off the road as they drove. But you know, that's probably not going to work if the truck was indeed carrying rocks. I think you might be giving lawyers too much credit. Really all they will do, is make it so painful for you to get in front of a judge, that you give up.
