The restrictive zoning practices, long approval processes ridiculous permitting costs etc are in place because most people's entire net worth is held up in housing and they vote for laws that keep the price high for that reason.

It's completely backwards to think that the reason why housing is expensive is because of those symptoms when the root cause is more than half the population wants mega high housing costs.
> 12: Interview gimmicks, leetcode, abstract questions should be red flags for interviewees. If you're looking for a job and find yourself in a silly interview, be willing to politely call it off and save yourself the time and hassle of dealing with a company that does not know how to recruit software developers.

The world doesn't work like that. Most companies are going to put you through the 10 round process or some other tedious process. Unless you're financially willing and able to turn down over 50% (probably a lot more actually) of job opportunities. And most people have bills, mortgages, rent, food they'd like to be able to afford. So it goes.

I don't like it either btw. I agree with you in principle.

Rest of your points are good though.
Some of the busybodyest villagers want it, and they’re imposing their will on everyone else.
That'd likely do more damage to the airline or travel company. Nobody reads disclaimers, so you'd end up with a ton of angry customers who'd vow to never use your company every again. Add up the PR damage from news media reporting on this, and well... easier to just reimburse than risk it.
My main takeaway from this is that the free market may have already lowered housing costs if bureaucracy would just get out of the way.

I mean it seems like there is something to the bit of regulation that forces them to keep rent low, but broadly this suggests to me that the bulk of spend should be on somehow making the bureaucratic part of the system run more smoothly or be easier to navigate so more projects get approved and built.

The last bit about learning from Houston especially made me chuckle. Houston is cheap and big at the same time and likely because there are so little bureaucraticisms for zoning/roofdeck requirements. The cost is that the city is ugly and not "tier 1" but seems like a fine tradeoff.
To be fair, most presidents were born before 1899. (Life expectancy increased a lot in the last century.)

The best take I heard on this question was that people age differently. (So chronological age is almost irrelevant.)

The problem I have with this question is that it's really just about two particular candidates. (If some unnamed, 80-something candidate emerged to run in 2028... I just don't think we'd be having this conversation.)
Problems with your idea:

- For point #2 how do they know if it’s the right profile before they pay to view it? Companies look through hundreds maybe even thousands of resumes for any given role and you think they’ll be happy to pay per profile?

- If profile views are paid to the person who owns the profile it basically incentivizes people to make bogus content or content for content’s sake. Why shouldn’t I make 100 fake accounts with fake IDs? Even if I wasn’t making a fake account I’d be incentivized to game my profile for cash rather than gaming it to help my career.

- You’re assuming a competitive vacuum. If you’re saying LinkedIn will make 4x revenue with the flick of a wrist companies will bail and start using Indeed instead. Increase the spend by 4x and you’ve just made the market way more attractive. You might as well suggest that Apple charge $4,000 for the next iPhone.

- LinkedIn’s daily active users is peanuts compared to Facebook which is why their revenue is only 15 billion like you say. LinkedIn is at 125 million DAUs while Facebook is 2 Billion. This is why LinkedIn makes much less money.

- The “amateur armchair quarterback” factor: if there was a simple way to grow revenue by 4x like you suggest, don’t you a company of very smart people like Microsoft would have already increased their revenue by at least 2 or 3x by now? What could you possibly know that they don’t? Hey Patrick Mahomes have you tried throwing touchdowns more often? That could really improve your win ratio.

There's NOTHING good in building dense housing. It always (ALWAYS) leads to more misery down the road: higher housing costs, smaller units, more congestion, etc.

Want truly affordable housing? Bring jobs to smaller cities. You don't have ANY other option.

No, "transit-enabled" housing won't help you. No, banning cars and forcing people to bike won't help you. No, screaming at the "end stage capitalism" won't help you.

We moved to AWS a few years ago, after self-hosting our own storage for years. What a nightmare.. The egress fees were killing us, so we had to find something else. Being weary of these large tech companies, and being that these days we're more privacy conscious as well. We found a new startup that outsources storage nodes to individuals / businesses.
You have to install what they call a "relayer" on prem. The relayer is the S3 endpoint. It breaks up the data and encrypts it before sending each piece to a different node on the network. No centralized behemoth holding us hostage over our data and no egress fees. We're a smaller company, so I was able to talk them into trying it out. I doubt you'd be able to talk an enterprise into using a lesser-known technology though.
The margin on egress is insane. Oracle got into cloud late in the game and burned a lot of goodwill downmarket so they have to sacrifice that to play catchup

This is decades of regulation set by people who may no longer be alive.

These archaic rules were crafted for a different era and are products of that time and thinking. Their desires and pressures were different than the ones we face today.

We need to garbage collect the rules and streamline for today's needs. Some regulations, such as fire safety, remain important. Many others are simply an unnecessary impediment that hold us back from meeting demand.
There are reasons not to cheat at a game. It'll have negative social consequences, and you might get barred from further games.

Why follow the rules of some online survey? Logically you should do whatever provides you the maximum emotional benefit, regardless of what the rules say.
They think they can take bad software advice and combine it with being greedy AND lazy.

JVMs come in several implementations, and the code written to execute in them both have horrific bugs all the time. XML deserialization, SQL injection, runtime bounds overstepping with foreign input, poorly implemented math. Ghidra itself was narely past soft opening before it was clear it was shipping with remotely exploitable bugs, easily exploitable very widely too, as the JVM took care of the groundwork for the logic that was problematic to run.

It still ships with exploitable bugs. NSA should get cred for at lest dealing with it when it becomes publically known. It was different before. That said, promoting closed and or poorly studied & verified software as safe, like they do with MS broken Windows to allies governments, etc is just stupid, but they probably look at it as them having an edge with Law and Budget drowning out anything we or any corp can muster up.

They made 0day into a shadowy indystry knowing the only choice is use OSS as the resources and cost to secure millions of hard to study lines of code is prohibitive - even if you can with OSS.

Just because your head is in the sand does not mean the danger has gone "oh shit, sand! oh nooooo!". Just means they evaluated that the practicality of it outweighs the dangers, for them. They have the resources to buy 0day. Pay for audits. Backdoor crypto algorithms and shit the bed over and over. NIST & NSA are the butts of many jokes around the halls of ISO and the likes of hackers who do it simply because they can. They will just keep at it until they win, according to every single declassified field manual since 1960, to DES exoport grade crypto, SBoxes or not, laws or no, embarrassing RSA scheme and 20m USD or the 1billion USD of bad press that alone got them. Crypto AG, overseas, Juniper and Cisco by force or OpenBSD.org getting popped to deliver a message heard the world round with apache_scalp.c. Gary7.NSA.Gov Traded like a whore in bangkok a sunday a the entire Navy arrived. Ellesberg or Snowden.

Ignorance is dangerous, not bliss. You should not make the mistake of thinking their actions for them indicate something is safe for you.
To be fair, I would say if your task is to design a system it's your job to find out what the person actually wants and not run with assumptions you made based on a bad description. The reality is that you will usually start with a bad description. So I'm not sure if these misunderstandings actually reflect that badly on the interviewer/the question.
You called me adorable, you laugh in my face and make dismissive comments. These words are stated by you to start a fucking war. Any reasonable person can see this.

And your counterpoint isn't even charitable. Just a statement of "you're wrong" without concern to my offered evidence, no counter evidence from your end and specifically twisting and picking out specific quotes and pieces to respond to while ignoring the entire paragraph. Manipulative and Classic malice. There's really no point in saying any of this. You know it, your actions are fully intentional.

You're literally the definition of a malicious person.

> What is “affordable housing”?

It's one of two things:

1. A polite way to say "housing project" or "subsidized housing" to not scare people.

2. A buzzword to force more housing density and/or promote social engineering agendas. When used in this sense, it isn't actually linked to affordability.
That's not really what the article says was going on. Those "luxuries" were being mandated by the bureaucratic agencies. Builders seem to have never really wanted them in the first place. The developers are apparently happy to ditch all the niceities and offer affordable housing if allowed it seems.

Not like I've done my own research, but the article was actually interesting.
>shouldn't "down a page" be done with PageDown?

PageDown doesn't reliably exist - plenty of laptops put it behind a function-key combo, making the only action you're doing on the page a two-handed affair.

> who came up with binding this behavior to a spacebar as well??

Apparently, it comes from the `more` command[1], because they couldn't reliably assume terminals would have a PageDown key, and because spacebar was the biggest key on the keyboard so it was the obvious choice for the one action in `more`.

My state has unambiguously defined bicycles as vehicles, perhaps to avoid exactly this question. It also avoids the need to rewrite the vehicle code to specifically include bicycles. There have been exceptions added to the vehicle code to allow bikes to do things or go places where other vehicles are forbidden but there was no need to rewrite the vehicle code to specifically require them to stop at red lights. They are vehicles, so must stop.

In this game, in my state, bicycles would not be allowed unless the sign mentioned the law that allows them.
A walk through Chicago Pedway (2017)
I came here expecting to find a mention of Dave Winer. In geekland, I believe he belongs in the pantheon of underappreciated shepherds. In 2000, Dave began crafting OPML [1] to provide a means of sharing lists. He composed his weblog using an outliner, marking the first instance someone demonstrated to me that structure could support both thinking and writing.

Admittedly, Dave used to be rather cantankerous, which turned many people off. However, when I was 17, I encountered him in a pizza shop near Harvard, greeted him, and ended up spending the day together.

In 2003, he was working on RSS 2.0, and I contributed a Comments namespace to enable the syndication of comments. This occurred in a more idealistic and less spam-dominated web era. I can still remember the feeling I got when I hit Send to share the proposal with Dave and the community. [2]

Their human-readable and easily understood nature is a byproduct of a time when those qualities mattered. I recall rushing to upload an RSS module to CPAN. It was not simply a conglomeration of other libraries but rather something entirely crafted in my mind.

OPML and RSS are both awesome. They are two standards that have played instrumental roles in maintaining the free flow of information on the web. They were not created by a committee or the IEEE. They were created by someone who was passionate as hell about a free and open web. That's rare now.

> Having Interrailed across northern Europe and travelled within a variety of cities without an internet-connected phone, I am now confident in declaring that the average local is terrible at giving directions!

Decades ago some friends and I were in Nuremberg and we went to the tourist info kiosk to ask for directions (Americans speaking German), having just arrived on the train. We went outside and I wanted to go one direction and my good friend the other. We argued, in got way more heated than we’d ever been before. Finally he said to me - yes, you are right, that is the direction he said we should go, but that’s not what he meant. To this day I still don’t know what Ryan picked up on that I didn’t, and even Ryan would agree my German is better - but I was wrong and Ryan was right, and the guy at the info kiosk was 100% wrong.

You don't solve the problem of having more demand than supply by subsidizing demand. You solve it by making it legal to build housing. There is already plenty of monetary reward in building houses in places where housing is expensive; that's what it means for housing to be expensive.
I’m super curious what evolutionary pressures could exist that would drive that much change in such a short time, especially in a period when an overwhelming percentage of individuals survive to reproductive age. I wonder how much of this detected evolution is instead an artifact of changes in sampling?
Making things affordable in LA will be easy. Almost everyone I know is either in the process of leaving CA or planning on leaving. This includes everything from middle-class individuals to high-net-worth families, soon-to-retire and retired. Everyone is sick of the financially abusive environment in CA, at every level. And, of course, other issues.

My wife and I are so sick of it that it has become an almost weekly conversation. She is actively investigating where to go. There are a range of options, from other places in the US to Europe. Today she was showing me her research on opportunities in Valencia, Spain.

When we go, we will take three businesses and as many of the people working for us as possible out of CA. Logistically, it is far more likely that the move will happen within the US, of course.

So yeah, keep going on this path and housing affordability will not be a problem at all. That's my take on it. Right or wrong.

The inter-AZ charges kill me. They’re charging you for traffic over what is almost certainly private fiber, of a distance no more than 50 miles or so. Just absurd.

The experiment is bad because it has hopelessly convolved a number of different causes of disagreement, some of which have nothing to do with difficulties in moderation.

If you're interested in "people disagreeing on what should be allowed", then you must state the rules in a way that allows them to establish the intent of those rules.

Instead the experiment was not evaluating people on their ability to agree on the intent of the rule "no vehicles in the park" but on their agreement over the meaning of the rules of the experiment itself.

Since these rules were intentionally left hidden, you should expect there to be lots of disagreement on what they are. Which was evident in the original comments section.
I’ve always heard to put your luggage in the bathtub when showing up at a hotel, then check the bed for signs of bedbugs. If it’s all clear than you can move your luggage into the main room. If it’s not, request a new room or go to a different hotel.

Does 99.995% [1] of hackernews sound reasonable enough to you?

The reality is a lot of systems (especially simple ones) run perfectly fine on a single server with next to no downtime and all the additional redundancies we introduce also add additional points of failures and without the scale that makes these necessary you might actually end up reducing your availability.

That's not the point. The point is that if the customer and SAAS provider "happen to" be in the same cloud then nobody pays any egress costs, but if the provider operated out of their own datacenter then the customer would pay additional egress costs to AWS to export their data to the SAAS provider. Snowflake is a good example because by the nature of the business customers send them a lot of data. This not only makes the customer pay more, but it also makes their billing and cost accounting much more complicated and unpredictable.
