But nearly every apartment has a broker fee, not just rent-controlled units. Plus, my understanding is that a rent-controlled apartment is pretty rare to actually come to the market, lots of landlords are refurbishing them and removing the rent control.
Brokers also provide plausible deniability to the landlord for claims of discrimination, or whatever types of screening the landlord wants but legally can’t.

Criticizing American institutions is about as American as it can get; that freedom and that behavior is almost the whole point of democracy. Should we all just go along with what some other Americans tell us?

When conservatives attack liberal institutions, like they are now attacking universities, is that un-American?

> making it hard for an elite institution like Harvard to adequately address an extreme anti-semitism problem

It is just one partisan side's claim there is some extreme problem, and that Harvard is not addressing it. I haven't heard the claim that someone is preventing them - the conservatives have been blaming Harvard.

(I'll note that the conservatives couldn't give rats ass about anti-semitism; they heavily trafficked in it for years, many prominently. They are only trying to attack an 'American institution', higher education.)

> If it makes people feel worse about living in the United States and tries to impose any concept of original sin onto an American citizen, as is the case with a lot of "woke" propaganda, it is anti-American.

It's un-American to make people feel bad? What about the people you are making feel bad? If the original sin is true, should we hide from the truth? We can't admit our mistakes?

Oh man, this brings me back nearly 25 years from today. I was doing some undergrad EE coursework at Cornell, and took a few classes taught by Rajit Manohar; he had also been a part of the async scene at Caltech (though after Alain Martin's original work, I believe he published with Martin later). Thought it was really interesting, and part of the coursework involved coming up with some small, toy async chip designs. I remember CSP/CHP all too well; at first I just didn't get it, but one day it just kinda clicked with me and I became pretty decent at writing out my logic in CHP.

Async designs never really went anywhere for general-purpose computing, but I always thought it was a cool way of approaching the problem, especially from a power-consumption perspective. Even all the adaptive clock rate stuff in modern CPUs doesn't quite do what those async chips could.

Edit: oh wow, I actually just found some of my old coursework files from ECE574 from the spring of 2002, complete with some CHP that I no longer understand at all. Unfortunately couldn't find any sort of project website that Rajit may have left up (like he did for the VLSI intro course of his I'd taken the prior semester).
I'm not sure where you got your idea of stock ownership, but you're describing it backwards for normal stock you buy at your broker. You would only have those ownership rights if you have a special class of stock, which is not something you normally buy at a stock exchange.
> It's been interesting to watch as "woke" morphed from a word uttered with pride to an insult. I can't think of another word whose valence has changed so quickly and unambiguously.

Don't be surprised: It's standard conservative messaging tactics going back years. Take something valuable to their enemies an demonize it through endless repetition. The Democrats and liberals have tried to avoid every fight, and so it works every time. I'm not exaggerating to say that I predicted 'woke' would be demonized too.

IIRC, someone recently published conversations among some conservative groups where they planned their messaging around it (not an unusual tactic) and specifically what would be effective.

I run very large database-y workloads. Storage bandwidth is by far the throughput rate limiting factor. Cloud environments are highly constrained in this regard and there is a mismatch between the amount of CPU you are required to buy to get a given amount of bandwidth. I could saturate a much faster storage system with a fraction of the CPU but that isn’t an option. Note that latency is not a major concern here.

This has an enormous economic impact. I once did a TCO study with AWS to run data-intensive workload running on purpose-built infrastructure on their cloud. AWS would have been 3x more expensive per their own numbers, they didn’t even argue it. The main difference is that we had highly optimized our storage configuration to provide exceptional throughput for our workload on cheap hardware.

I currently run workloads in the cloud because it is convenient. At scale though, the cost difference to run it on your own hardware is compelling. The cloud companies also benefit from a learned helplessness when it comes to physical infrastructure. Ironically, it has never been easier to do a custom infrastructure build, which companies used to do all the time, but most people act like it is deep magic now.
Ah yes, that makes a lot more sense.
It’s really not part of the business model.

Sure, this guy fat-fingering $10k sounds amazing.

Ask HN: ChatGPT being too lazy, how would you convert Python to Java?
I have a large codebase in python, i need to rewrite it in Java.

The problem isn't how to do the work, i know both Python and Java, the problem is to actually do the boring work.

I thought i could use ChatGPT to do the heavy lifting as there's thousands of lines of code.

All i can get out of it is a few lines of code, and most of the acual code, logic, etc is converted to this:

// Further processing...
// Additional methods like load, compute, etc.

// Define parameters needed
// Other fields and methods...
// Other fields follow the same pattern
// Continue with other fields
// Other fields...
// Methods like isHigh(), addEvent() need to be implemented based on logic
There's a worldwide issue with managing retirement. Australia has other taxation issues in how people are encouraged to both fund their future, and find ways to manage a post-work income from both their own and state funding. It leaks out into voting, and turns things like tax changes into massive age correlated voting risks and so instead of root-and-branch tax reform, you get tweaks.

People need to remember that retirement income is predicated on a model of future earnings, either because the next cohort(s) work and generate the money to meet your needs (typically through the state) or the same thing, but indirectly via share market and other investments into the future. Even cash held at bank is predicated on the guarantees over its value, and interest which ultimately come down to future generations making the wealth.

Inter-generational wealth transfer is complicated. This is about one specific distortion. If you're in Japan, with a massive shortage of future workers, there's a different kind of problem. If you're in any economy with out of control inflation, it's a third one. Nowhere has it perfect. A lot of post USSR babushkas live in penury because they wound up in Estonia or some other FSU economy, with an income stream paid in Moscow, into a Euro economy that doesn't want to be charitable.

I'm paying toward a non means tested UK stte pension, which because I live in Australia will "freeze" at the value I enact, and get no CPI indexing. If I move to Germany, it will track CPI because of bilateral agreements between countries. There were stories in times past of German Whermacht veterans living in the UK getting a better state pension than British Soldiers retiring in Germany, because of how the bilateral deals work. (my Australian Pension is means tested and since i have huge 401k equivalent (we call it superannuation) I won't qualify for)

It pays to remember that Bismark's original model was carefully designed by actuaries to kick in when most workers had died, or would die shortly. Now, retirement income has to last 30 or more years.
Seems like a good time to start an appliance business.
Ya that's a silly explanation, the only relevant point is this:

The price charged by brokers to landlords is less than the perceived value of the labor required for the landlord to list the property, receive calls from interested renters, and show the property.

This isn't surprising because brokers charge next to nothing to the landlords because they make their money on the fees from renters.

Renters are forced to abide this situation because of the aforementioned mismatch in supply and demand.

Why does this market crop up in some cities but not others? It's hard to say, some claim it's rent control but buildings without rent control still have exorbitant broker's fees in NYC. However, this is hardly the only market niche that is cultural rather than dictated purely by market forces. Americans don't buy bidets, the Japanese still frequently prefer cash transactions to electronic payment, and San Franciscans don't charge brokers fees.
If you get it back.

my understanding is that NYC rent stabilized units also have restrictions for vacant units too.

>Any time a tenant vacated, landlords received a “vacancy bonus” that let them increase the rent of the unit by up to 20%, and once an apartment’s rent reached a certain dollar amount — most recently, $2,774 a month — the unit left the rent-regulation system entirely, allowing the landlord to rent it at any price.The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA) repealed both vacancy bonuses and vacancy decontrol. It also sharply limited how much landlords could pass along the costs of renovations to tenants through rent increases, practices that housing advocates and lawmakers criticized for spiking rents and fueling displacement.

Prior to 2019, landlords could make a lot of money by emptying out rent-stabilized apartments. HSTPA essentially revoked any financial incentive to do so.

True, rent prices are typically the most important figure for any property. Everything else comes secondary - if you're halfway down the search results because of your prices, almost nobody will even see that utilities are included.

You just have this absurd American belief that the world will be improved by you evaluating people and paying them accordingly.

The C++ filesystem section contains the following, which basically means you can’t do safe IO when other programs are running in the same computer:

“ The behavior is undefined if the calls to functions in this library introduce a file system race, that is, when multiple threads, processes, or computers interleave access and modification to the same object in a file system.”
Legally prohibited? How?

Rent stabilized units are a small percentage of the NYC rental market (and change tenants much less frequently than the rest of the market)

Brokers seem to be able to capture the value just because they’re entrenched. Demand has outpaced supply, and landlords are happy to outsource the majority of the tenant search process.

Large apartment buildings with leasing offices capture the value you’re saying can’t be captured. There are tons of comparable “no fee” apartment buildings with a rent that’s 15% higher.

So — do you pay a 15% fee once, up front, and hope you don’t need to move? Or do you pay it on your rent?

Edit: ok the percentage of rent stabilized units in NYC is actually a good bit higher than I thought. But my second assertion still stands — they practically never change over. So it feels like they’re an impossibly small part of the market. You won’t find rent stabilized deals advertised.

"If you earn $60,000 a year after tax and you don’t have kids, you’re in the richest 1 percent of the world’s population.

If you have a household income of $130,000 after tax and you’ve got a partner and one kid, you’re also in the richest 1 percent."

If it's a time to tax annual gains for the US 1%, it's time to tax annual gains for the world's 1%. The wealth in 401(k)s is obscene.

Yes, but the scheme cannot scale very well. Already, many people can see the flaws and they're becoming increasingly obvious. New people cannot be brainwashed fast enough and the costs of the bureaucracy are bringing us to the brink of global hyperinflation.

As a tech guy, it's painful to watch (and especially participate in this) because I can see how technology creates efficiencies which allow the inefficient scheme to keep going longer.

There are limitations depending on the state, the workaround is to 'no fault evict' tenants, have the property vacant and re-advertise.

At least one state has banned 'no fault evictions', though there are workarounds.
