Nixcon NA 2023 accepted, then later rescinded, sponsorship from Anduril, which is a defense company. There was a lot of community pushback on that, and it seems like the organizers messed up and the venue wouldn't allow it anyway. Either way they were a sponsor for 2024. Ever since there has been a lot of infighting in the community. Here's a recent LWN article and HN discussion about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40199153

Yes, it's lack of building.

Half of my city and many other cities around my country were built during the communist 70s and 80s... and then we stopped building and maybe built 5, 6 apartment buildings in the last 30 years.

Then urbanization came, centralization, everyone wants to live in a city.. but we're not building more housing.

We can look around europe.. how many apartment projects were done in the 70s and 80s, and how many are being built now.... we built whole new neighbourhoods back then, and now we have 4 people sharing a two bedroom apartment.
At least in many parts of the US, the financial loss of renting is currently less than the financial loss of a mortgage, after subtracting contribution to principal. In Seattle there are places where renting is $2k+/month cheaper than the non-principal carrying costs of the same place. Buying it instead of renting it would literally be lighting $2k/month on fire that you don't need to. A renter can invest that extra $2k/month, so they come out ahead.

The cost structure of landlords is often very different than the cost structure of new homeowners. They can make a tidy profit charging rent that is significantly lower than your mortgage payment.
I wish I could tell if this was a joke or a real thing that someone did.
That’s misleading and mostly irrelevant. My sampling of states so far yields an answer in years, looks like around 2-5 years depending on state. Rental evictions are measured in months, typically perhaps 1-3.
The problem is lack of supply vs demand. In 2022,England and Wales:

- built 254000 homes[0]

- had 745,000 people immigrate (net)[1]

- had 600000 people turn 21[2]

- had 577160 people die[3]

If you gain a load of people, far more than you increased dwellings for, prices will go up and dwelling size will go down. It's not particularly complicated.

> A standard wall outlet will charge a car perfectly fine for your average driver assuming you can park the car for several hours.

"several" doesn't convey the reality here. It's a lot of hours. My partner has an EV and coming back from work it gets plugged in and by noon next day it is still not charged up to what it was before going to work the day before.

It kind of works because here they only need to go to work twice a week and not on consecutive days, but on rare occasions when consecutive days are needed it requires a trip to a commercial charger.

> You’d only be spending 10 minutes charging anyways to carry on.

No. They drive to whole foods and spend an hour or so waiting around to charge it up enough to get to work and back (not 100%).

It takes a lot of committment and careful planning to drive an EV. For an occasional commute like here, it's mostly ok.
It’s not. This trope is repeated on this forum all the time.

Some people prefer the freedom of not being stuck in one place. Super duper. That’s excellent, they prefer renting.

Trying to convince the rest of the world that it is a sound financial decision in lieu of buying a home and establishing equity is where the argument over “renting is better than buying from a financial perspective” falls apart and the absurdities start getting thrown about.
Darwin's theory of evolution is descent with modification. It requires a method of inheritance, a method of random variation, and the observation that a variation which results in more descendants will grow exponentially relative to the rest of the population, until it dominates.

Examples of specific theories include the Modern Synthesis and Punctuated Equilibrium. But there are more specific theories as well. For example https://www.amazon.com/Ontogeny-Phylogeny-Stephen-Jay-Gould/... lays out evidence that one of the major drivers of evolution is that it is easier to change the relative timing of maturation, but almost impossible to change the sequencing. And we have specific examples of evolution where the method of modification is not mutation. For example the placenta is believed to be the result of viruses transfering a parasite genome into the mammal genoume.

The theory of dark matter is the theory that a large fraction of the matter that makes up galaxies is not visible.

You can get different theories based on how much of it we think that there is, and what we think that it is made of. There isn't a ton of room for how much of it there is - Newton plus gravity curves gives us that. But the what is fascinating. For example you might think that it is mostly things like wandering planets and stars that did not ignite. This gives us the theory of MACHOs. But we've been able to establish that most of it can't be that. We've also managed to establish that not a single thing in our known particle zoo will work. And so it has to be something of a kind we've yet to discover.

And that's where we have the challenge. We start with the idea that there's a lot of stuff that isn't shining stars. That's very reasonable. Then we wind up with the conclusion that our galaxy is mostly stuff of a kind that physics knows absolutely nothing about. That's...substantially more surprising.
It is if you're carrying megatons of medical supplies, computer chips, or other high value goods.
As someone with spare bedrooms, this itself is a problem of undersupply. If you can't be sure of being able to trade up when you need to (e.g. after starting a family) because house prices are up 100% in 10 years, then you're going to want to buy a house for all possible future needs, rather than current needs.

Add to that, things that might be desirable for other reasons, like garden space, rooms for use as offices, large kitchens, etc. all tend to scale with bedroom count too.
> Property tax isn’t voluntary and as exogenous as a landlord

I live in the UK. I have to pay the same rate of council tax for the property whether I own it or rent it.

However that’s completely beside the point: my council tax isn’t suddenly going to double overnight because a single person decided they can extract more money.

> Making the largest leveraged purchase of your life for an emotional comfort object is irrational

You are completely missing the point. A place to live that is truly your own is not like buying some luxury good.

I could buy your argument were it about buying a mansion vs a small family home, but the article is about people being unable to buy any home.
I know specs go by full cycles. I was always taught not to shallow charge because each partial charge essentially carried some overhead to it. Sort of like two 10% is not equal to one 20% charge. I guess that's not true anymore since I couldn't find anything on it.
Note the privacy-impaired 802.11bf: WLAN Sensing, https://www.ieee802.org/11/Reports/tgbf_update.htm & https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/02/27/1088154/wifi-sen...

> Someone outside your home could potentially tell when it’s vacant, or see what you are doing inside. Consider all the reasons someone might want to secretly track someone else’s movements. Wi-Fi sensing has the potential to make many of those uses possible.. it could be used by corporations to monitor consumers, workers, and union organizers; by stalkers or domestic abusers to harass their victims; and by other nefarious actors to commit a variety of crimes. The fact that people cannot currently tell they are being monitored adds to the risk. “We need both legal and technical guardrails"..

> At least 30 million homes already have some kind of Wi-Fi sensing available.. When the new standard comes out in 2025, it will allow “every Wi-Fi device to easily and reliably extract the signal measurements".. With Wi-Fi 7.., “the sensing capability can improve by one order of magnitude”.. The committee did discuss privacy and security.. But they decided that while those concerns do need to be addressed, they are not within the committee’s mandate.. Wi-Fi sensing is more concerning than cameras, because it can be completely invisible.

IEEE standards are a minimum starting point for interoperability. Security and privacy improvements can be implemented in open-source code, to inform future revisions of IEEE standards.
This opinion doesn't take into account the optionality of the mortgage and the opportunities provided to the borrower. American mortgages generally allow prepayments - if the value of your house increases rapidly, you can sell, pay off the mortgage, and pocket the profit. You can pay additional principal at any time to reduce interest payments. If rates fall, you can refinance. If the economy is great, you're borrowing at 7 percent while your investments are earning 10+.
Such an easy solution, all we need to do is raise every city and suburb in North America to the ground and rebuild them around a massively expanded rail network which we also need to build. It would be nice if NA cities were already amenable to walking and public transit and served by ubiquitous passenger rail but there’s a century of car infrastructure instead that nothing but a century of overhaul will fix.
Do you believe that just no one thought to "plunder" other places? Think about what enabled the British to go afar and make an empire. The ability came before the empire.
My favorite features of mortgage vs rent is that mortgage is constant.

So, in 10/yr I'm still paying $2000/mo while rents have moved to $3200/mo
> you see something like 20% more dwellings per person in developed EU countries vs English-speaking countries, which doesn’t feel like no difference at all.

I was attempting to highlight the change in numbers for those countries I mentioned and how they are clearly inadequate when trying to explain the change in prices over the same time.

In NZ there was little change from 2011 to 2022 but median house price went from NZD350k to NZD900k.

I agree with regard to demand being different in various locations within a country, but those localised demand differences would have had to shift pretty dramatically over the same ten year period to explain much I imagine.

This may indeed be the motivation but, at least in those emails that are presented in the linked post, there's no evidence that Cloudflare did at any point clearly communicate that this is indeed what the problem is.
I still don't think people in the middle need JWTs.

If we're talking about a web session, time-limited randomly-generated session tokens that are stored in a DB still work fine. If you really need it, put a caching layer (memcached or redis or valkey or whatever) in front of it. Yes, then you've created cache invalidation problems for yourself, but it's still less annoying than JWT.

If we're talking about authenticating API requests, long-lived randomly-generated auth tokens stored in a database work fine, generally. (But allow your users to create more than one, and make rotation and revocation easy. Depending on your application, allowing your users to scope the tokens can also be a good thing to do.) Again, put a caching layer in front of your database once you get to the scale where you need it. You probably won't need it for a while if you're sending your reads to read-only replicas.

(Source: worked at Twilio for 10 years; we definitely eventually ran into scaling problems around our user/auth DB, and our initial one-auth-token-is-all-you-need setup was terrible for users, but these problems were fixed over time. Twilio does use JWTs for some things, but IMO that was unnecessary, and they created more headaches than they solved.)

I'm not saying no one ever needs JWTs, but I think they're needed in far fewer circumstances than most people think, even people who agree that JWTs should be looked upon with some skepticism. If you need to be able to log people out or invalidate sessions or disable accounts, then JWTs are going to create problems that are annoying to solve.

(One possibly-interesting solution for JWT-using systems that I haven't tried anywhere is to do the reverse: don't cache your user/auth database, but have a distributed cache of JWTs that have been revoked. The nice thing about JWTs is that they expire, so you can sweep your cache and drop tokens that have expired every night or whenever. Not sure how well this would work in practice, but maybe it's effective. One big problem is that now your caching layer needs to be fail-closed, whereas in a system where you're caching your user/auth DB, a caching layer failure can fall back to the user/auth DB... though that may melt it, of course. I also feel like it's easier to write logic bugs around "if this record is not found, allow" rather than "if this record is not found, deny".)
We had two choices back then..

1) make everything the same, the good and the bad, just extend the address space, and replace all the networking stacks in all the gear everywhere.

2) if we're already replacing everything, make stuff better

this makes sense, and what I hoped to have. But in reality looks like parsing CSV string works faster than bloated and overengineered parquet format with libs.
Rare perspective, and I totally agree. Building more homes is like expanding roads. It doesn't solve the root problem.
His recent book went #1 on the Times best seller list so I guess his videos have been a brilliant form of marketing.
While I agree building housing is a symptom, and not the core problem. But I'm skeptical that increasing building or density would actually lower housing costs. If that were true, high dense cities like Beijing, Tokyo, Singapore, or Hong Kong would have much lower cost housing.

Housing more people in a concentrated area creates more demand for services, which creates more demand for housing which jacks up prices. Packing 1,000 people into an apartment build creates extremely high demand for plumbing, house cleaning etc, services, which jack up housing prices. But if cities were low-density with commerce centers decenteralized across many neighbhorhoods or towns, you don't create location demand hotspots (e.g. cities) that jack up prices.

Property taxes and interest rates are a forcing function to keep unoccupied properties in check, as long as the appreciation doesn't dramatically exceed the risks of being a LL. For Tier 1-3 markets in the USA, you can't cash flow properties as rent is drastically lags property ownership costs.

That it was historically "more difficult" to have more than one website per IP address particularly if it was using SSL because doing that needed amendments/extensions to DNS and other specs.

We now have it, but still need to use a hack to cname an apex e.g set Google.com to bah-bahs-tenant100.s3.amazon.com. Adhering to the spec we need to set google.com to an ip address e.g 8.8.4.4
> it should be clear that I'm not looking for a page containing that phrase but rather one that satisfies its meaning

Why? If you hear "America's finest news source" a few times and go to google to check what people mean, you really want it to tell you about the onion. Or at least a Wikipedia-style disambiguation page.
Right now if you want to retrieve http://www.example.com, you have to ask DNS for the IP address of www.example.com. HTTP can multiplex multiple sites on a single IP address so you can make DNS answer with a "CNAME", i.e. let it give another hostname which could be from Cloudflare and will actually do the serving. However http://example.com cannot use CNAME because it is an apex record (historical limitation that's hard to lift and is worked around in many different ways by providers). And this caused many websites to occupy an IP address unnecessarily.

Likewise for HTTPS, though in that case multiplexing arrived only maybe 10-15 years ago instead of 25.

A proposed Internet "standard" suggested that instead you would do a different kind of query, not a query for the IP address but one for a "server". It's a kind of query that is very underused on the Internet but it's related to how you find printers on a local network for example. In that case you would do this kind of query (called SRV) for http.tcp. example.com and that would always be able to return another hostname, thus getting rid of the issue with apex domains.

> for some graphs that show Europe vs anglophone countries in an obvious way

Housing is still extremely expensive in most major European cities relative to income. e.g. Milan, Lisbon, London, Rome, Munich are significantly more expensive than San Francisco or San Jose (e.g. Milan is more than 2x more expansive) if you're earning the median income.

It's not like most people in some European countries chose to live in rented cramped apartments they simple have no choice because they can't afford anything else.

> you see something like 20% more dwellings per person in developed EU countries vs

It's not clear how much of that is because of lower (or negative) population growth. e.g. Italy has one of the highest dwellings per person ratios and there are towns/villages which are basically giving away houses for free Milan is still relatively the most(?) expensive city in Europe and housing in other major cities is still less affordable than pretty much anywhere in the US.

It was easy to beat spy over this period by investing into, say, a Nasdaq index.

What were max drawdowns on spy and your experiment?

If yours was smaller, then it's interesting, because it means higher returns with lower volatility.

* Also, looking at SPY data it looks like its 1-year return from today was 26.05% rather than the 3x smaller number you gave. Even considering that you operate in CAD that's quite a discrepancy...
There's a big difference between returning a list of results vs a paragraph of information declaring an answer.

> how someone can float a mortgage, much less an investment mortgage, without a renter.

They probably have an owner-occupied residential mortgage that the bank (/note purchaser) hasn't called them on. Declaring that you're residing in one unit (either falsely or temporarily) seems to be a pretty popular technique for buying rental real estate. If the mortgage was taken out during the past two decades of ZIRP, then the rate is still fixed at something very low and most of that monthly payment they're "floating" is effectively just going towards the principle as a mandatory savings account.

I refuel my ICEs at home all the time. I have many ICE tools, so I've got a pair of wonderful metal gas cans. I refuel the gas cans while I'm out, and then I can refuel tools and vehicles at home.

Capless tanks in cars are kind of a pain, but other than that it's easy. Storing filled gas cans isn't an option for everyone; usually the same people who will have trouble with a charger at home will have restrictions on gas cans. Regulatory devices to prevent spilling gas seem to ensure spilling gas too; it's better to use a 'for entertainment purposes only' flexible spout if you've got one.
