How do immigrants reduce supply? They're destroying homes when they get here?

edit: why am I being downvoted for pointing out a flaw in the premise I'm responding to?
> are they're more of a sanity thing, like using GFCI outlets in wet rooms or using fire-retardant materials?

Column A, Column B. They often require reasonable things. But the actual approval process is sort of a crap shoot.
It is a major national emergency, but average voters don't care about it, because almost no politician is willing to address it -- there's no one to vote for, who would try to fix it.

Even politicians who are struggling with this specific issue themselves refuse to address it. (Members of Congress struggling to afford to maintain housing on $174k salaries, would rather petition for more money, than to make housing more affordable)
The taxation and obligatory contributions on labor in Europe are brutal. Very quickly reaching over 40% in total in most countries. In the cities where there exist employment options, salary pays for housing, food, some going out, tiny savings and that's it. There is no point in working.
Accounting shenanigans. They had shit on their books that is now worth less.
Fair, at least from what I learned in the movie Gandhi, which may or may not be accurate, it seemed that both MLK and Gandhi led the force for nonviolence and once they were no longer alive, the nonviolent coalitions seemed to dissipate somewhat or significantly.

I hypothesize because they were talking about nonviolence and people assumed by that they wanted peace and I think these leaders wanted love. I recently have been thinking a lot that there's almost a war between love and peace, where people who want love want to work together to resolve conflict and people who want peace want to get rid of conflict, often by working against each other.
Any playable values above π? I'd guess 3.15 should still be OK.
The first step says to use sea salt. I thought the defining feature of sea salt is that it was going to be a collection of minerals that happened to be dissolved in the ocean water collected that day.

Practically speaking I assume little impact, but would you not want to start with more pure NaCl?

> The US entered the war because of Pearl Harbor.

The US openly entered the war because of Pearl Harbor. But the US had already been secretly involved in the war for some time before that. And a major part of that was Lend-Lease aid to the Soviet Union.

The case for the US wanting to save Nationalist China from extinction is much less clear since US aid to them was much more lukewarm and inconsistent.
It used to be that when you moved from point A to point B (for retirement, career-change, whatever), you'd sell your home in A and buy a home in B.

Modern communications + financial tech have converted homes into cash-flowing assets that can be managed at a distance at 1/10th the risk-adjusted cost of 40 years ago.

Home-owning people of the age 55+ do not sell homes when they move, they rent them out and use the cash flow as leverage to buy a new home. This has been happening at least since 2008, but is a secular trend. In my opinion, talk of "not enough housing" is a mind trick to get you to ignore the fact that we actually do have adequate sqft/people in desirable areas, but ownership of that square footage is distributed incredibly unequally.

The % of homes that are lived-in by owners is approaching all-time lows in most high-COL regions in the U.S..

Those people pass their assets on to their children, who often have no ties to the region, and to whom real estate is purely a financial asset to be squeezed for maximum cash flow to subsidize their unearned lifestyles. We live with the consequences: rent that is increasingly unhinged from reality, and allows for dismal savings rates for our youth.

IDK, it's pretty bleak as somebody who wants to be a homeowner in a community that feels like home. I keep suspecting that there'll be a populist anti-landlord policy movement in my urban area (NYC) but outside of maybe 2-3 months during COVID it remains a pretty fringe idea.
The root cause is zoning and NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard).

It's not difficult. Prices are determined by supply and demand. When local and state governments restrict supply via zoning and other laws, prices go up. If you want prices to go down, increase the supply.
2.5 million?
I think you’re naive to think that even a hypothetical affluent highly responsible nation of hundreds of millions of people with excess savings in their bank accounts is supposed to magically deal with an unemployment rate of 15% that occurred basically overnight without doing any kind of quantitative easing.

I think the lack of housing supply is still the core culprit and that major reforms need to be made to the US’ approach to building.
Shameless plug: My DMARC Checker at https://dmarcchecker.app/ displays a warning message if it encounters a DKIM signature header with an 'l=' tag:

"The 'l=' tag limits how many bytes of the email body are included in the body hash. This may allow an attacker to alter/expand the message in a way that it still passes DKIM validation."

Additionally, the tool alerts you to the use of weak RSA keys or SHA1.

By the way, less than 0.4% of all emails checked make use of the 'l=' tag.
Add to this the 3-part RealPage grift:

- build a platform that tells landlords, algorithmically, how much they can feasibly afford to raise rents YoY, based on what other landlords in their area are charging for similar properties

- write terms of service that require them to use your pricing suggestions most of the time

- target large-scale landlords in big metro areas, to get a lot of market penetration relative to the size of your customer base -- so that when you tell your customers it's based on the behavior of other landlords in your area you actually mean that it's the behavior of their other users, who are also bound to these same terms

I keep losing track of which ones are where, but there have been several price-fixing lawsuits over this -- they range across a couple of AGs, private parties, and I think DoJ
It's kind of surprising that there are no "typewriter OS" based on Alpine Linux, but it's always has to be paired with hardware sales to go past prototype stage as a business, and even then the viability is dubious.
TL;DR is (1) none of these methods effectively control transmission of AFB, and (2) AFB is taken extremely seriously. Like, where I live there is a state law allowing ag inspectors to burn hives at their discretion overriding any fire codes in effect

The vaccine thing seems to be extremely new and probably isn't validated enough re: transmission
Or you could build more housing. Many of those immigrants would love to work doing that!

And a lot of it is actually not really immigrants anyway, but household formation in a large cohort:

https://oregoneconomicanalysis.com/2023/10/26/household-form...

Oh, also, in any case the existing housing stock would not be fine, because people migrate around the country, too, to places with jobs, or away from places in decline. A vacant house in Cyanide Springs, Oklahoma doesn't do much good if your job is in Mountain View, California.
For starters, the city council and state legislator should set rules so that most things don't get a public hearing. You can't NIMBY if you are not even invited stick your nose in someone else's business.

More likely building them. It's zoning policy that makes sure those homes are overpriced, oversized, and out of reach of most people looking to transition into home ownership.

The only "type" thing about the declaration above is "int", and that does get applied to all the comma-separated expressions -- so in that way the comma acts totally reasonable.

People think that "int *x;" means "declare x as a pointer-to-int" but really it means "declare x such that *x (it's a code expression) is of type int." So it's a really roundabout way to say that x is a "pointer to x" while that concept of "pointer to" isn't even in the language syntax.
There was a tool a long time ago that did this for an n64 emulator. I tried it and it was fun for a while but predictably would crash often. There was also a glitch art project that would corrupt specific segments of famous image and video files to create something new. I wish I could find either but I cannot.
Well, you jest, but what if we could create an LLM that follows dang behavior? He’s pretty low-touch on substance and mostly moderates style. An LLM should be able to copy that. If I didn’t have to work for a living I might pursue that, that would be a huge benefit to humanity.

I was under the impression that the concept of social market economy is a conservative project, CDU resp. ÖVP (in Austria). I wouldn't call that socialist, after all, it is a competitive market economy with private enterprise.
ok, so congrats to the scientists for finally solving the transportation problem (I assume, its the solution. Still needs to be discussed by the fellowship)

but, how the pyramids actually have been built? I mean the stacking of the tonnes of tonnes of rock. From an engineers sight, there are a lot of possible ways - but, how has it really happend? i think, that, we never will find an answer for it. Its a little bit sad - just out of curiosity!

> The median age of voting House lawmakers is 57.9 years, down from 58.9 in the 117th Congress (2021-22), 58.0 in the 116th (2019-20) and 58.4 in the 115th (2017-18). The new Senate’s median age, on the other hand, is 65.3 years, up from 64.8 in the 117th Congress, 63.6 in the 116th and 62.4 in the 115th.

So we are left with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_principle#Formulati... and whatever window of time that looks like. 1.8M voters over the age of 55 age out every year, extrapolate accordingly to predict progress trajectory.
> Its only a good investment because supply is severely limited by the government.

The entire American Midwest exists, and proves this point severely wrong. Supply can be infinite and unlimited, and it's still profitable for companies to exploit housing.

I've used Quarto[1] to build a personal blog and it has been really easy and straightforward. Especially if you want to run some code alongside the post (like Python, R, or Julia). As far as I know, you can also use it to write books and presentations.

This isn't an example though
1 is true, but 2 feels more like of a "well, tough" moment. Plenty of people have to take jobs that don't pay as well as they used to, and these layoffs often happen to inflate stock prices on already-profitable companies. Why do they want to inflate stock prices? Because we've made equities the sacred cow of wealth stores in this country, and the very same people who manage the BB's retirement portfolios demand it to make the number on the 401k go up.

It's important to remember that these shifts did not come from nowhere. The shifts towards financial instability for the average person took place during a specific period of recent history, and people - including average people - who really should have known better, given all of the expert advice made it happen.

There were very much people saying "shore up Social Security", "don't offshore manufacturing", "increase capital gains taxes", "invest in more sustainable infrastructure", "increase wages at the expense of equities prices", etc. and these people were all ignored, at least in the United States.
Thanks for the deep dive.

As a user I know C++/CLI, since it was initially released as Managed C++ in .NET 1, replaced by C++/CLI in .NET 2.0.

They have two ways of compiling code, fully managed, meaning pure MSIL, where the Assemblies are considered as safe as other .NET languages by the PE Verifier. In this way, some UB behaviours and not so sane stuff from C day's, is forbidden in C++/CLI and will trigger a compilation error.

Mixing in native code. In this way everything from C++ is allowed, the resulting Assembly will be a mix of MSIL and native code generated by the Visual C++ backend, and will fail verification as a safe Assembly, being only allowed in unsafe code contexts.

My reference to it, is because until the improvements started in C# 7, the only way to make use of specific CLR low level capabilities, was to either do Reflection.Emit(), or reach out to managed C++/CLI.

You are fully aware of this, but many keep forgetting MSIL was designed for C like languages as well, and just like the hyped WebAssembly has all the necessary features to take full advantage of it.
The "average" person that votes for national politicians (specifically those from swing states) are likely not being impacted by higher rents.

In fact, a significant majority of the voters (and non voters by not voting) themselves are likely responsible for voting for local government leaders that intentionally reduce supply of housing.

The root cause being that once someone is on track to owning property or already owns property, they are then incentivized to not want those below them on the socioeconomic ladder near them.
Thanks Kyle! It is evident that our docs were insufficient. Rich and I have written what we hope is clearer, more comprehensive documentation about Datomic’s transaction model. We hope that this can preempt common misconceptions and we welcome all feedback!

Any sort of type erasure on functions will have a non-zero cost. That's why the only zero-cost abstraction is having a template parameter (such as remove_if), but these come with a code size cost instead.
It is a good idea, but the results are quite bad. It barely works in their demos, tons of artifacts everywhere.

Israel was also allowed to participate in Eurovision a couple of times while KAN was violating EBU rules about publicly funded news broadcasting.

I’m also not sure about the EBU rules, but I find it curious that Russia was prohibited from participating in Eurovision because of their government’s use of state media to spread disinformation, but at the same time, EBU does not issue the same suspension to Israel (especially now when Al Jazeera is banned).

It's not the best algorithm for computing factorials though.
A better strategy is to pair small and large factors together

They resigned (or were fired) because the business no longer needs their unit, which puts a damper on their impact and usefulness. It also makes them a cost center in a business that is striving to become profitable.

That is the simplest explanation, it's a tale as old as time. And is fundamentally explained by a very plausible pivot from "World changing general purpose AI - believe me it's real" to "world changing LLM integration and innovation shop".
Higher demand leads to higher prices and doesn't lead to anything become net-net cheaper. That's a supply-side thing entirely and usually requires a massive regulatory or technological change.

Super high gasoline production today doesn't change the fact that it was so cheap in the past they would burn it off to get rid of it.
The fact that Elon Musk has no care for free speech was widely-suspected before he bought Twitter. The thing I don't understand is everybody thinks he's a business genius when ever since acquiring Twitter he's been attacking his other company, Tesla, customer prospects and now they have a significant year-over-year decline in sales to show for it. How smart is that?

As for Twitter? That's a shit pile. I have no idea why anybody continues to use that service (and TBH, that's been the case for years even before Musk bought it).

No one has ever left the normal state of reality. Only perception. Certainly humans have been hallucinating and imagining things forever. Also, lying about your knowledge is a pretty universal human trait. Graham Hancock is proof of that.

The city I grew up in has never adopted a residential building code. Beyond requiring a working septic system or sewer connection,
it simply has never been a thing.

Houses aren't falling over or catching on fire. Neighborhoods look like any other fairly prosperous area in the Midwest.

Getting a mortgage and an insurance policy was not arduous or particularly expensive.
Generally US code is good. Sometimes perhaps a bit too strict (read expensive to follow), but the rules are clear and built for engineering/safety reasons.

However US zoning is often a mess. Often you are not allowed to build something you might want to because the neighbors say no.
The length header in DKIM only pertains to the body of the message. Received headers should never be signed by DKIM, and those are added to give you a way to trace how a message was handled.
As others have said, it’s the generic name, not brand name. I like it, because I generally focus on memorizing generic names over brand names personally. I know that anything ending in -tide is a peptide and highly likely these days to be a modifier of the GLP system.

Other drugs in the same family as retatrutide include tirzepatide (“Mounjaro”), and semaglutide (“Wegovy”). In that light, it’s a pretty good name!
I agree it's annoying (really bad for tooling), and what's more annoying is that for a human who understands how it works, there is no syntax as easy to read and write as C declaration syntax. It's terse and intuitive, not adding new type syntax but reusing what already exists as expression syntax.
Birth rate has generally been inversely correlated to income. AFAIK this is true in almost every country. The plot of Idiocracy was derived from this phenomenon.

Humans are complicated and there are probably multiple reasons for this. But the most convincing one that I've heard is tied to education.

Higher income generally means better education. And the better educated are more likely to use birth control.

https://wol.iza.org/uploads/articles/228/pdfs/female-educati...

I mentioned before that birth rate and income are generally inversely correlated. But that isn't completely true. The relationship is more of a j-curve. That is, past a certain income (think top 5% or more), the fertility rate begins to tick up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility#:~:text=T....

So, the breakdown is basically this:

- The lowest-income/least-educated have the most children by far.

- As you climb up the middle income/college-educated ladder, fertility drops almost linearly.

- The wealthiest have more kids than the upper middle income, but still a lot less than low income.
Do you have some numbers on this? I suspect it's a couple of issues.

1. If you just give people money to pay for childcare or whatever, but there's not enough labor, then all that happens is that the price gets bid up higher.

2. I suspect that the 'hard push' wasn't arrived at by figuring out how much money it would actually take to make someone have kids, but by fighting for whatever Euros could be diverted. There is definitely an amount of money that people will have kids for, but I think it is a lot higher than governments/electorates are ready to confront.

C# and C++. In C#, you can use pointers but most people don't even know because they so gracefully become invisible. Also ref/in/out keywords are there when you need them and invisible when you don't. Likewise, you don't even need to know about move semantics in C++ to make a simple web server.

That said, C# and C++ most certainly have their fair share of issues.

I think this is the classic introvert/extravert axis.

Introverts are chronically overstimulated, and seek to reduce stimulation.

Extraverts are under-stimulated, and therefore work better with even more stimulation.
