Surely the biggest factor would be the use of force. From acts of enclosure (where common land was stolen by the local upper classes), to the destruction of local crafts as with the Luddites. Once you destroy the local 'lifestyle' businesses, you force thousands off the land to become cheap labour. Or be subjected to the poor houses.

Force upon force - this is government, the state.

Notably, it seems like most of the automakers were exploiting the tests, and VW got all the attention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal

There used to be a YouTube series I think it was developed by Mozilla but I'm not sure, where they would show the kind of things you could accomplish with flexbox and CSS grid.

Basically anything you wanted.

I think what CSS frameworks offer tends to be more on the lines of consistency which I always struggle with when doing my own CSS.
I am talking about the past 1500 years. Also to me half of China being under one banner isn't "splintered", that is still an empire with a few belligerents, so your link there doesn't provide an accurate picture.

And if you compare like to like, Europe has never ever been unified since there were always many splinters regardless which period you look at. Some parts splitting off isn't the same thing as the empire not existing.

No matter how you slice it China has been far more unified than Europe, if you made a similar map of European dynasties for the same period it would be orders of magnitude larger.

If you look at the biggest empire on earth for different periods a part of the Chinese empire is almost always among the top, Europe was only there during Rome at its peak and after colonization. China is much closer to a single European country, for example it wasn't as splintered as the German states used to be but its much closer than comparing it to Europe.
If enough sellers band together and set a minimum price level for a good with low elasticity of demand (meaning people need it no matter what and will sacrifice other parts of their budget to obtain it, like shelter), then the higher prices could lead to higher revenue even though fewer units are sold (due to higher per unit prices).
Surprised some folks did something so blatant and obviously stolen!

Current organizer of Data Community DC here. It's a lot of work to get a sponsor, and they tend to churn after a year or two when the individual advocate moves on.

The best sponsors know the value of long term community engagement. Bad sponsors are more transactional, and want to really see the short term value they get.
I certainly found code-CAD to be a useful bridge from abstract coder thinking to more concrete 3D thinking. It's liberating, and obviously it's potentially enormously valuable for parametric customisation.

But now I feel the sketch-and-constraints 3D CAD approach is more natural, even though I am still clumsy with 3D apps. It's also much, much faster once you know what tools are available to you.

So I find it difficult to believe that most non-coders would see code-CAD as superior.

It's at odds with the visualisations people use when working by hand with wood or metal, for example. It wasn't until I had to model a Leica M bayonet that I really grasped that CAD packages are to some extent built around analogues of real-world tools.

Absolutely this. And when you look through the bug history of those low-level APIs there's a lot of evidence.

That said, the other big difference with Haskell is the low-level API actually provides functionality to solve the exact problem of an async exception being raised anywhere via `mask`. It's still hard to use correctly but at least it's possible.
Even in the US with named/number streets "as normal" I know of at least three cases where the "front door moved" on a house on two streets, so the address number stayed the same but the street name changed, making it completely out of order.

I used to work at a place where weekly we'd have a show-and-tell with the team for about 30 minutes. One week I brought this and I let people who don't code give answers to see how far we'd get. It's interesting to see some who "got it" and others who struggled.

Overall people loved it! I think it was a great way to develop some basic programming skills in people who would otherwise never code in their entire life. For years after I did this my coworkers would bring it up as kind of a "You do _that_ all day?", which I thought was funny because this is like the easiest part of my job and they thought I was a magician for it but it was nice to see they respected the work more because they did it themselves a little once.
Our application has been on an old version of Bootstrap. And for sometime we have been evaluating different frameworks and libraries as a replacement. But they all feel huge and complicated.

My CSS knowledge was still stuck in 2010, with a bit of learning since then. So after seeing some impressive modern one liners I decided to look into modern CSS and compatibility.

It took about a week to write a new, very clean and very simplified CSS style sheet to replace Bootstrap. We own it, since it is tailored for our app we don't need to use many classes (the HTML element defines the style). The sheet is about 1000 lines of CSS, 50 lines of Javascript, and supports dark/light mode.

First we replaced the navbar – a global element. Now we are replacing screen by screen with the new style sheet.

It uses modern CSS nesting – but we still run it through sass because enough customers are using Android or older versions of Chrome that don't support the nesting. Otherwise we haven't had any reported problems.

MDN is a fantastic learning resource for all of this.
I was referring to using recent database snapshots for read-only queries. HyPer used the same snapshotting technique as Redis backups for this purpose:

Nice job on your website!

Sincerely,

Someone who recently gave you a hard time for not having info on your website.
Agree with you fully on this.

As far as the rental.market being an oligopoly, there's an argument to be made that the existence of things like RealPage makes large sections of the market act as it would with an oligopoly, even if it doesn't quite meet the definition.

That is an interesting conversation to have, separate from the illegal price fixing.
If I have 100 units and set the price such that no unit is ever vacant, that price is surely lower than if I set the price such that 90 or 95 of them are occupied at any given time.

If the rent to leave 10% vacant is 11% higher, I basically break-even on cash-flow and have a higher building valuation (on a multiple of rents when fully-rented basis).

If it's 12% higher, I make more cashflow (plus giving myself an easier job with more freedom in operations to do medium maintenance between tenants and have units free for temporary dislocations, etc;).
Is there a mystery here?

I am a seasoned (15 years experience) full-stack principal software engineer specializing in the backend. In the past, I've pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech.

More recently, I've built a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are too large for existing context windows.

If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.
We just had a Bloomsburg story earlier showing how fast food companies are using apps and gathering data to make sure they don't "leave money on the table" by using differential pricing.
Anyone here working on tech for RealPage? How do you justify it?
I'm just making a general statement, not a comment on how things are today or whether they should change.
I think when they take the step of requiring subscribers to let them set prices, they are clearly violating the law. I’m skeptical that analysis reports telling landlords to raise rent are illegal, but writing in the contract that you have to follow the rules of the association is obvious collusion/cartel behavior.
IIRC there was a MacBook with two USB-C ports where both could charge, but it would run significantly hotter (and throttle sooner) if the "wrong" one was used.
Read another way, they fix prices where perhaps the unit sits vacant. Since they have dominant control over some markets they can do this and keep units vacant and know that people will have to rent at $x instead of $x-y
I honestly think that given the demands of 4K video specifically using potentially a few gigs of memory just for decoding, 8gb made a world of sense, but little has come out since that really needs all that much memory for the average person.

When the industry moves to lpddr6/ddr6 I wouldn’t be shocked to see an increase to 6gb per module standard although maybe some binned 4gb modules will still be sold.
> My point is that the tremendous pre-steam improvements in spinning and weaving indicate that there was an incentive to innovate and automate - and a political structure that supported it - that was independent of Britain's coal deposits and heating needs.

It just sounds like you're trying to make an ideological point.
Is that true?

If a homeowner has a home charger, and comes home from work and immediately plugs their car in, won't the charging start right during peak demand? I guess there could be software in cars that tells them to delay charging past evening peak demand, but I guess there will be a mechanism for the car owner to bypass that.
Yep. Multithreaded coding is hard.
>"encompassing 70% of multi-family apartment buildings"

You conveniently left out the part before: "at least 21 large landlords and institutional investors [...]". Wikipedia says the definition of oligopoly is:

"An oligopoly (from Ancient Greek ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few', and πωλέω (pōléō) 'to sell') is a market in which control over an industry lies in the hands of a few large sellers who own a dominant share of the market."

"at least 21" is not "a few" by any stretch of the imagination.
You can make up whatever standard you want, but it will fail when an impossible expectation collides with reality.

Reality is messy, and optimal care has a non-zero failure rate.

As work should be. I want to have spontaneous moments with my family, friends, and neighbors, which are more common when working from home.
I think this is more correctly described as cartel behavior (also illegal under anti-trust laws and likely what the FBI is investigating here).

I do think there are far too many players involved for it to fit the reasonable description of an oligopoly. (I am not the upthread objector to the use of that word, though I think the objection is valid.)
I'm not sure I've ever seen a non-microsoft app send a proper system notification on Windows. They've made such a hash of native development it might be too confusing for developers to use.

So why the announcement now? To keep investor interest and hype?
this has become less of an option though because pretty much all semi-decent job markets are really frothy now.

one could theoretically maybe move to the barren wilderness of Nevada or Alaska or somewhere else desolate but given the lack of services, job, etc. it's not very practical. WFH didn't really lower home prices in the Bay, but it did make a bunch of attractive rural towns really expensive.
Exactly, that is where patient responsibility for their own care comes into play.

Yep, on one level it could just be automating the task of scanning Zillow and other sites and seeing what other landlords are asking. Any landlord is going to be doing that to some degree.

But the price-fixing amongst "competing" landlords is where it goes wrong.

Commuter rail only works if you want to go within a mile of one of the stations. No one wants to take the commuter rail and then get on another train. The people who use commuter rail in Chicago at least all also have a car that they use to get to the city whenever they’re doing anything else since the train only goes to the business area

Given how long these have been pored over by existing hyperconnected nanomachine networks (i.e. brains) it may be that we'll mostly unearth qualities humans can already detect, even if only subconsciously.

When it comes to separating truth and lies, perhaps the real trick the computer will bring is removing context, e.g. scoring text without confirmation bias towards its conclusion.
While this seems like a legal (and moral/ethical) win, I can't help assume there will be no meaningful justice for anyone directly affected by the conspiracy. At best there might eventually be a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the victims, resulting in a meager payout.

Meanwhile the perpetrators will reorganize and lobby their misdeeds into legality.
It's exceptionally easy. That's why landlords are able to own hundreds to thousands of properties / units.
It unfortunately is used from within signal handlers, albeit only in specific cases (SIGFPE). There used to several more, but we luckily largely cleaned that up over the last few years.
Ah that's on me, it's a private repo because my code is embarrassing. But behind the scenes here's how it works:

- I wrote my own scraper for HN for reasons I no longer remember

- Scraper is called every 30 seconds by an Apps Script timer on a Google Sheet (to be dirt cheap, Vercel doesn't have free cron jobs).

- Caches the front page, plus ten comments per post into a single Firestore document (to save money on reads vs 20 reads per load)

- Home page loads via SSR with Nuxt.

- Post pages will load the rest of the comments from a separate doc for each post

- the other comments load instantly on navigation if on a halfway decent connection - but if not, you still get to see the first 10 comments to get an idea of the discussion while you wait.

- Added some Workbox stuff to get it offline-first.

- Added an IndexDB wrapper around Firestore for more control over cache behavior I think.

- It's worked now for over a year with no oversight needed and not costing a penny!

Then I got distracted because I wanted to rebuild it from scratch to not use Nuxt and never completed that rewrite. Been a while since I've worked on it, had no idea other people even knew it existed! There's definitely some bugs (I think CSS gets broken on deeply nested comments) but it worked enough for my uses so I moved on.
