Surprisingly, iOS is a bit more popular in Japan than it is in the US, where it has ~68% marketshare. That market usually favors local manufacturers (Sony among other local companies still make Android phones), but that for some reason doesn’t apply in this case.

Still not a monopoly though.
From my experience and seeing the patterns on Hacker News, this won't. The comment sentiments are a mix already with negativity already going south pretty fast. I feel like this might fall off before hitting 100.

Edit/Update: My bad. 100, it is. :-)
I think it's an interesting question to ponder. If neighbourhood character was so important and valuable, what would be the fairest way to enforce/preserve it, while not hideously distorting the market?

In other words, under the legacy zoning system, its true that buying into a neighbourhood basically gave you a decade+ guarantee on the character staying similar. And yes, the desirability translates into higher prices. Except that the higher prices only flow to the person selling the house (ie, the person who is LEAVING the neighborhood), and is highly concentrated. Where-as the negative externalities (reduced housing stock) are borne by everyone else. Yes, the extra value is reflected in property taxes, but I don't think that really reflects properly... and definitely isn't helping control housing costs.

If a substantial portion of the neighbourhood character is coming from the zoning laws, then actually the people who are residing there are contributing just as much to the maintenance of that aspect as everyone else in the city. The people living in the neighbourhood are doing very little day to day to maintain that aspect of the neighbourhood they find attractive. In other words, the -city- is generating that value, not the people living there.

Perhaps there could be a mechanism where-by the extra value of "locking down" a zone to SFH was instead redirected to other neighbourhoods? Differential property taxes based on zoning or lot density?

> With the impending single zoned commercial building crash, I was hoping we could get a massive push at all levels (federal, state, local) to provide incentives for converting these to mixed zone properties.

You had me up until this point. Sadly, office buildings are constructed quite differently from residential buildings, and it really is hard to convert them over. It makes more sense to leave them as non-residential space, even if vacant for awhile before finally being reoccupied, and then to separately build brand new purpose-specific high rise residential buildings (which will be nicer than a converted office building ever could).

And another problem with the conversion plan is that office buildings aren't fully vacant! Here in NYC, the office vacancy rate is just under 20% (and falling). But that means it's very hard to find a single building that's 100% vacant to convert over. Most buildings are mostly full with long-term commercial tenants on long leases. Yes, some few floors might be vacant, but many are not; you can't exactly kick out the existing tenants that are making the building mostly full in order to convert everything over. It doesn't make sense and it would incredibly costly. Plus, the buildings with the highest vacancy rates are the oldest ones with the worst conditions (i.e. not prime commercial space); these are less attractive for conversion for residential.
contra this - I tried this for a while and while getting around much of SF is fine, leaving the city basically became too much work to be worth it. there are also certain neighborhoods (especially in the northwest and southeast) that basically become inaccessible

getaround is quite expensive tbh, it was much better to just have a relationship with an existing car rental that you could just muni to and pick up - difference between ~$40 and ~$100

I think we'll see these types of films going the way of books and recorded music. We'll have an explosion of films released to hyper-niche audiences (at best). The middle of the market goes away. 10-20 traditional films still get produced and marketed to large audiences. This evolution makes more sense, since to your point — people like you have already stopped watching the product.

I suspect there is a market for adult-focused genre-based animated films that where never economically feasible before.

Wikipedia policy will hopefully prevent LLM generated garbage from corrupting it because some random web site is not a "reliable source" to add "facts" to articles. Today's Wikipedia is also remarkably effective at enforcing its policies. Most of its incorrect information scandals and notable long term vandal incidents happened in the 00s when it was still new.

That's the positive side of its policies. The negative side is that it often reflects the biases of its "reliable" sources meaning it often gets the same things wrong that the mainstream media and academia get wrong.
It would be more than a component library, but yes, more akin to traditional GUI frameworks in spirits than the HTML+CSS approach. The improvement is that it would dramatically reduce the effort needed to implement and maintain web application, make app behaviors more consistent for users, and make adherence to accessibility and other best practices the default, rather than something developers have to actively put significant effort into.
I’m not complaining. The watch was over four years old. It is what it is. If it were newer, I would have been much less non chalant about it.

We can benchmark both and continue the discussion since we can engage in a apples vs organges discussion. This is where qualitative metrics are important. We are talking about 7 years of difference and Argentina is a complete stalled political system. One more thing, this was in the middle of the highest crisis since 2000. At least it shows that when politicians need to move forward it happens.

BTW, Argentina also had many local banks in different regions. The EU region is just ~1.5x larger than Argentina.
That lifestyle will never go away, but it has no place to be required in big cities that would instead benefit from much more housing in total.

It's not just about the status quo or racial homogeneity. Every time I've lived in multi-unit dwellings I have had to deal with the following problems caused by neighbors:

1. Smoking. Maybe not such a problem in a brand-new dwelling with well isolated HVAC but it is a serious problem in older construction with poorly isolated HVAC. The negative effects vary from one room being smoky sometimes (usually a bathroom) to the entire place being unlivable at certain times of day.

2. Loud noises late at night. This can be parties, heavy footfalls, old pipes that clang or ring, animals, etc.

3. Pets. Besides the noise, the animals can be aggressive and their owners may not clean up their waste.

4. Water damage. If you can't tear the place down to the studs and rafters, you can't get rid of mold.

You can try to ask people to change, you can try to get the landlord involved, you can even get the cops involved. But it's a lot of hassle, it rarely fixes the problem long-term, and you will be seen as "that guy" who causes trouble.

Exclusivity deals are commonplace.
Such comparison exaggerates the difference, because it’s a one-time constant overhead, not a multiplicative overhead.

i.e. all programs are larger by 275KB, not larger by 20x.

Rust doesn’t have the privilege of having a system-wide shared stdlib to make hello world executables equally small.

The overhead comes from Rust having more complex type-safe printf, and error handling code for when the print fails. C doesn’t handle the print error, and C doesn’t print stack traces on error. Most of that 200KB Rust overhead is a parser for dwarf debug info to print the stack trace.

Okay but it does not standardize location. To reliably manage local time conversions, including location together with date/time is the only way.
I believe this is a personal problem of the author. I see a lack of self-control and self-determination where he is doing more of what his social group and technology want/enable rather than what works for him. For example the 77 tabs: how is that useful? The tech makes it possible but doesn’t endorse or require it and they don’t make money off of it. I find tabs become useless once there are more than eight or so in a window. I prefer to break out work streams into separate named Chrome windows that I can minimize and maximize when I need to. And also I still get into plenty of fights at bars but maybe that’s just me
If you want to live in a quiet SFH while benefiting from the amenities of urban or suburban life then yes, you should understand that you're seeking some kind of exclusivity and not everyone will be able to afford that. There are plenty of quieter outlying areas where people can have their larger homes more cheaply, but at the cost of being more isolated and directly dependent on transportation.
Due to dead code elimination, the compiler already omits all of that part of stdlib that your code doesn’t use.
Here are a couple of real-world examples, these are all written in C and some C++ and run across Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android and in browsers from the same code, the web is basically "just another target platform":

Also specifically about Photoshop: since PS is already a cross-platform application I would expect that they abstracted their UI layer enough to be portable to other UI frameworks without too much hassle. Hybrid WASM/JS applications are in fact a pretty good idea for some use cases (e.g. compile the core logic written in C/C++/Rust/Zig... to WASM, but implement the UI layer via HTML+CSS).

There’s a very real possibility it’s a tragedy of the commons. Each individual wants to be near public transit, but they also want a car to supplement weekend trips and such. But once everyone gets a car, ridership falls and the public transit disappears.
The Death of Free Shipping
If I'm scheduling a meeting, then yes, I am going to want to schedule the meeting using a specific time zone, which may or may not be my local time zone at that moment.

But if I'm scheduling when I want my computer to reboot, I want that to be a fixed in time zone in my local time zone. And if I subsequently change my local time zone, I want it to remain at that time in the new local time zone, not the old one.

Yes, local time zones don't always make sense. But that is a far cry from saying they never make sense!
RNLI standards for crewing and training are very high, and their equipment is top-notch. They have years'-long waiting lists for applicants.

> For those with higher disposable income it’s no issue at all.

Not for those with small children. Unless you have a private chauffeur, transporting a family to somewhere without parking that is poorly served by transit is a pain. And if you’re going somewhere where traffic patterns make light rail favorable but you need last-mile transportation that isn’t well-served by transit, I guess you need two chauffeurs so that you send one ahead to meet you at the fair end of the train?

My theory has always been that, if policy makers want people to use cars less, they should make the alternatives better instead of making cars worse.

>which means we'll eventually end up with a single mega-corp monopolising all of these markets simultaneously in the future?

I think you were right up until here. I think it's not necessarily the case that everything will be consolidated into control by a single mega corp. Not because it's impossible, but because that is the type of thing that is contingent on factors that could break one way or another, and what will control that, I think, is not some a priori general principle but some contingent facts that have not been settled yet. There are numerous participants in this space for now, the ideas use cases aren't quite fully mature just yet, so we'll have to see.

Lots of building is a symptom of rising prices that also helps reduce the price increases.

Places with rising prices will generally also see increasing density, but if they increased density faster the prices would not increase as much or even decrease.

There's a fallacy going on with this kind of anecdote (observing both increases in housing and increases in pricing concurrently), namely not being able to observe the counterfactual of NOT adding housing (but keeping all other socio-economic factors constant). What would go on with rent in that scenario?

Yes, rents are going up today... but it's quite possible they would be going up MORE (on average) if the new housing wasn't being added. Unfortunately, not many Randomized Control Trials for housing economics.

Housing developers are incentivized to select locations for projects that will serve increasing rents, increasing population, increasing incomes, etc. They spend a lot of effort on understanding demographic and economic trends. Projects are often 3-4 years from conception to delivery. The causal chain is essentially: Do Market Research -> Select Project Type/Location Expected to Outperform (Financially) -> Build Housing (Hopefully Where Rents Go Up) -> Make $$. The observed concurrency of More Housing and Higher Rents is actually a "Thesis Proven Correct" thing from the perspective of the investors, lenders, etc. But the causality (more housing CAUSES higher rents) isn't quite as simple as outside observers sometimes think it is.

FWIW, there are real problems with having most of the housing creation/provision mediated through this profit motive. Developers stop producing housing once the profit expectations decrease to the point that capital is expected to achieve higher returns in other asset classes (capital is mobile, it will flee the asset class if there are better opportunities elsewhere). This point of slowing/stopping housing creation (at the margin) is often far short of what most people would consider socially optimal. But that's the logic of capitalism. I'm simply approaching this more from a "how things are" perspective not a "how things should be" perspective.

heck I use a private rail company that travels on the rails built by the other state rail company thanks to EU law

they are better, have self check-in, bought double decker trains and the other train company laughed at them because these trains were designed originally for smaller distances

it is of course much more economical and this state rail company just ordered the same trains

the device and OS of Apple is like the rail tracks, people use them not Apple, and as long as they have that big marketshare they own the rails that developers MUST use

Apple would have just said no, double decker trains are not secure, everybody has to use our secure design on our rails because we protect our customers
