There's also GAAP in the US and IFRS in Europe, which are standards for how certain things need to be done to be compliant.

Still dependent on the overall climate. It's not necessarily about how much it rains, but how humid the air is. When I was in Virginia, it rained a lot, but the air clears up fairly quickly after rain.

In contrast, my grandmother lives in a village with such incredible rainy seasons, that this has been a pain point as perpetual as the rain itself. For a few months in summer, the air is so humid that even unused clothes have trouble stay dry. Condensation appears on the wall, and nothing ever dries, no matter where you hang them; indoors, outdoors, doesn't make a difference. Sometimes, they have no dry clothes for weeks during summer.
I'm a bit skeptical of the age grouping. 25-54 is a very wide range, and I would assume cities have more 25-year-olds, whereas the countryside will have more 54-year-olds.
It's worth noting that Realpage owns their namespake product, but they've also acquired Propertyware and Buildium, two other property management systems, over the years. With that, they have access to quite a lot of rent market data to share to others - more than one my initially expect.

I believe there are about eight main pieces of software in the property management software space, but three of them are owned by Realpage.

Have you ever read an NDA? They usually go something like this:

For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall include any information, material, data, or know-how, including trade secrets and proprietary information, that is not generally known to the public and that is disclosed, either written or orally, to be or appears to a reasonable person to be proprietary or confidential.

The price that my company paid to purchase someone else's software was not "disclosed" to me. I created the information myself, when I made the decision to purchase it. The company didn't convey, transmit, or pass the information to me. My act of deciding to purchase the software created the information, which did not exist prior to my purchase decision, and it's information about me and my company's actions and by definition can't be someone else's proprietary data.
Since Musk took over, I’ve frequently clicked on links to tweets only to be presented with the “Something went wrong. Try again.” Error message instead of the tweet I should be seeing. I then have to refresh multiple times to get it to show up. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, I decide I don’t care enough, and I move on with my day. I’ve also observed broken embeds around the web. This is core service reliability. I grew up with Twitter. I never observed this behavior once before Musk took over unless there was a well-known incident occurring. Twitter is definitely more buggy.

> We spend more than any nation on public services and goods.

In part, because of the ideology the poster outlined. Penny wise, pound foolish.

As an example, our healthcare is 2-3x as expensive as the rest of the OECD. Our public spending is more than anyone else's total spending, and then we pile on top of that. (https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm) We saddle the poor with high-deductible plans they can't use, then eat the costs of their eventual last resort emergency treatment.

That's not really enormous. It's big compared to most buildings, but ~1million sq ft of retail space is just about the minimum viable mall today. People aren't going to the mall to fulfill a specific need, they're going for the variety. It's hard to cram enough variety into much less space than that.

For context, Valley Fair, Westfield's mall in San Jose, has 2.2million sq ft, and looking through their list of holdings, it doesn't look like they operate any malls smaller than a million sq ft in North America.
My expectation is that this has to do with there being a critical mass of autistic or otherwise neurodivergent persons who work in these spaces.

There are many interests more common to people on the autistic spectrum. Gender and identity is experienced as much more performative and arbitrary by many on the spectrum.

Yeah, that's called a cold boot. Moving to not-floppies doesn't mean you can avoid this. Clearly it's off of floppies instead of ROM so you can more easily update the software, but I am wondering how often that ended up happening. Maybe EEPROMs would have been better.

> Luz Pena: "How dire is it to change the system to upgrade it from a floppy disk to a wireless system?"

I agree that floppies aren't the peak of reliability, but "a wireless system" also sounds like a disaster. I don't want critical urban infrastructure running on extremely hackable OTA updates. For the love of god, SF, you can avoid pretty much all potential cybersecurity problems by just not putting your trains online.

I feel like neither the interviewer nor the interviewee really had the technical expertise to speak to this. This entire piece is just, "oooooo, floppies are old. Old bad! Why not new yet? New good."

"Peasants need food within the next few days or they'll die": short term interests of the people.
"I need aristocrats to take everyone's grain so I can make them be knights and keep people from overthrowing me": long term interests of the monarch.
the people are very good at identifying their short-term interests (not starving,) but it's hard to figure out long-term collective interests (exactly how much grain to give up for however many armored guys on horses you need.) this is why modern democracies are usually republics.

> I never observed this behavior once before Musk took over unless there was a well-known incident occurring.

Yeah, I have. On multiple occasions before Musk took over, Twitter also had bugs.

Even if you think firing like 6/7th of Twitter's staff (or whatever) was a mistake, there's really no arguing that they're making more visible product changes than they have in years. That means that bugs happen. And frankly...proving that a tech company doesn't need that level of bloat is a valuable lesson for the entire software industry. If they overshot and have X% more bugs for now, that's fine. They'll still be dramatically leaner than before.

I find the posturing as a thought leader and industry leader (on this topic especially) a bit ironic. A cloud provider licensing ARM Neoverse and throwing an ARM chip into their cloud compute boxes is not exactly a novel business practice.

I'm happy to see this, and it should be all goodness, but... the posturing... I don't want to be negative for the sake of being negative, but I don't understand how anyone can write that first paragraph with a straight face and publish it when you're announcing ARM chips for cloud in 2024(?, maybe 2025?).
> Notice how "smart TVs" don't do most of these things. You buy the TV once and it keeps operating indefinitely.

I haven't yet seen a TV company remotely brick their devices, or start demanding microtransactions for basic features but people are still paying for their TVs over and over and over again. You can't "buy the TV once" and be done, you're forced to give up your personal data and that never goes away and will be used against you. The company has a continuous revenue stream using and selling your data and it never ends. Every day you use the product you're paying.

> The spyware is already optional. Plenty of popular TVs work fine if you connect your own input to the HDMI port and never connect the TV to the internet.

Some TVs do allow you to keep them offline. Others will do everything they can to get online no matter what you do including actively scanning for open wifi networks and connecting to any it finds automatically.

Connecting input to the HDMI port isn't enough to save US though because TVs are pushing ads over that video too. If your TV overlays ads when the volume changes no matter what you're viewing it won't matter if you're playing a game or a DVD or streaming video from another device. As non-smart TVs get harder to find and ad pushing and data collection become more aggressive I hope someone does step forward to offer a real alternative that doesn't do those things. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I do though.

> But empty units are empty units and too many of them means you need to lower prices or you are losing out on money because you don't make anything from empty homes.

If the mortgage is covered by extortionate rents on your other properties then historically the empty unit is appreciating in value.

Renters are in a position where they have no shelter if they don't acquiesce. Landlords have a multitude of options that make it easier for them to horde empty homes.

Dryers typically are vented immediately outside via a dedicated tube and vent. That means that the air in the rest of the house never sees the moisture at all, so your whole-house ventilation system or dehumidifier doesn't need to work as hard.

Yeah, the article reads as if the real problem is a lack of a tested system of backups. Or I don't know how else to parse this line:

- "It's a question of risk. The system is currently working just fine but we know that with each increasing year risk of data degradation on the floppy disks increases and that at some point there will be a catastrophic failure."

"Data degradation on the floppies" should not, by itself, cause any sort of "catastrophic failure" in a sound system. If one software disk fails, you should have five identical copies in a drawer, five more in a different room, ten more off-site, plus a disk image on cloud storage that you can write fresh floppy disks from.

I mean, it's probably a good idea to change the storage medium too—but that's not the root problem.
