As a landlord, you want to know what to price your rental so it rents relatively quickly. You need to know the "fair market rent" for the unit.

If you're familiar with the area, do your research, and have some experience, you can get a number pretty quickly.

RealPage offered to do that work for you - but once they are doing for a certain percentage of the market in an area, they become controlling of that market, and you can get "harmonic errors" that don't get corrected, because they control too much of the supply pricing.
Show HN: Resilient LL(1) parser generator for Rust
I recently read https://matklad.github.io/2023/05/21/resilient-ll-parsing-tu... and wanted to try if these ideas would work in a parser generator.

You can try some example parsers (C without preprocessor, Lua, ...) in your browser and check for yourself how well the syntax tree is recovered for incomplete source code.

Land in desirable areas is limited and zoning and other government red-tape prevents high-density housing from being built (or any housing being built period in cases like San Francisco).
You can migrate off Spotify right now with an app like Songshift - try out other music apps like Apple Music and see they work for your collection/playlists.

I have both an Apple Music family plan as well as Spotify individual for several years, but will probably migrate off Spotify (if only to send a pricing signal to them). My kids have an iPad set up with my apple account, so I'll have to migrate them off to their own account first.

Spotify won't lose their core listeners, but folks like me who were probably already spending too much will realize they've wasted years of sparse usage.

If I find Apple Music isn't working I can always migrate back.

I had the original 1977 "Products That Think" catalog [1]. Sugarman did a great job hyping some not-so-spectacular products. I did buy the Sharp Elsimate EL-8130 calculator and considered getting his "Pocket CB" but it encouraged me to learn just enough about RF to know that his tiny fixed-crystal CH14 AM 27.125 MHz device would be a bad choice to communicate with other CBs which is what I really wanted to do. It may look cheap now but remember, for $20 you could then easily get a pair of CB-CH14 kid walkie talkies with longer telescoping antennas, what it was essentially.

Yeah, I seriously doubt the majority financeBros will give 2 shits about the ethics of this company. The only thing they care about is the bottom lines look good on paper. Sure, there maybe funds out there that have some sort of ethics/morals about their investments, but I'm guessing they are very much in the minority
New construction is rapidly getting more expensive in many of the markets where it's needed the most. While it'd be cool to point to a single factor, it's a combination of several things. People are expecting more (more square footage, higher-end finish), the government is demanding more (environmental and energy regulations), labor is getting costlier, and yes - there's NIMBYism manifesting through zoning laws and other "conservation" rules.
> Or maybe in the US there is indeed a distinction being kept between "runners" vs. "servers"

I've lived my entire life in the US and I've never heard of this distinction either. But I've also never heard the term "runners" in this context either, so perhaps the commenter is talking about a different sort of restaurant than I go to or something.
@dang - I suggest that HN filter submission headlines through `sed 's/Secret Weapon/Weapon/gI'`. In that context, the adjective seems 99.9% likely to both be untrue, and be pointless clickbait.

> Cinebench R23 was built on Intel Embree. ;)

Yes, and the renderer is the same as in Cinema 4D which is used by many, while custom ray tracer build for Geekbench is not used outside benchmarking.

The blog post you linked just shows that one synthetic benchmark correlates with another synthetic benchmark. Where do SPEC CPU2006/2017 benchmarks guarantee or specify correlation with real-world performance workloads?

Cinebench fits characteristics of a good benchmark defined by SPEC [1]. It's not a general benchmark, but biased benchmark. It's floating-point intensive. It should do a perfect job of evaluating Cinema 4D rendering performance, a good job as proxy for other floating-point heavy workloads, but a poor job as proxy for other non-floating-point heavy workloads. The thing is, most real world workloads are biased. So, no single-score benchmark result can do an outstanding job of predicting CPU performance for everyone (which is what a general CPU benchmark with a single final score aims to do). They are useful, but limited in their prediction abilities.

Any actor outside of this cartel could exploit this by creating more supply and getting ahead of the cartel members by renting units out at (real) market rate though.

YES! Couldn't agree more. Although my title has always been Software Engineer, I never introduce myself that way (I prefer Software Developer or just Programmer, or I say "I write code at XYZ").

I went to an engineering school. Actual engineers design bridges and machines and biochemical whatnot, and of course require licensing. I push code around.

I even try to subvert company culture and say things like "Well developers will need to update that API" instead of "engineers".

got it, thanks.

so based on this context and some other comments, it seems like the potential crime isn't so much that they use these sources to algorithmically suggest a price or contrived vacancy, it's that their agreement enforces that any of their subscribers has to use their suggestions on price and availability, thus making it likely price fixing. correct?
I live in Atlanta so I'm familiar with vacancy rates here. This data from Costar shows it's the highest in the nation and has gone up around 60% around 7.5% to 12% since Q1 2021.

How can even a large share (70% are mentioned in the article) of landlords have full control over supply? This is different from the railroad or telco cartels of the past where it is really hard for new players to get into the market. Getting into Atlanta's housing market is as easy as buying some land and building some apartments on it, buying up and renting out single family homes, etc. The barrier to entry is really low.
Yeah, as I said I'd argue Germany was more splintered than China, but its closer than comparing the soup of splinters that is Europe to China.

Point is that saying that China wasn't always unified so it is similar to Europe is wrong, Europe was so splintered that typically traveling 60 miles meant you would be in another country, that means it was very easy to flee to another country if your views weren't accepted were you are now, very different from larger countries/empires like China and its splintered factions.

I doubt much punishment will actually happen, beyond some nominal reparations; but it could establish a legacy in the field of SaaS antitrust, which could cool down some of the worst animal instincts in the market.
Yes all of the above.

Landlords lobbying against new development under various guises (environmental, "character", "history"); landlords very cheaply withholding vacant land from use (minimal taxes to pay, no rent to pay, no penalties for vacancy); landlords utilizing zoning regulations to prevent effective use of other people's land

Part 2 (additional context):

After helping our last venture exit, I'm currently on a contract running strategy for an onchain venture, but looking to transition to a full time role before fall. Open to long term contracts or fractional work for the right projects.

The key areas where I bring a unique advantage and think are most relevant are:

Trusted voice: extremely comfortable being an outward-facing, persuasive ambassador in nearly every necessary capacity on behalf of the company - investor relations, partnerships, corporate/business development, media/press, trade, etc.

Strategic muscle: a voice confident in driving the direction and priorities of the company. Evaluating alternatives, prioritizing and knowing when to say no. A right hand to a CEO, partner to other executives.

Builder mindset: not in an engineering capacity, but in emerging and new markets, figuring out what it takes to win and deploying those strategies.

Operations: I how organizations operate and scale, how business development, sales, product and engineering work together to drive towards product market fit and sustainability.

Thanks for reading.

Right -- my trig is weak. Joan Horvath's "Make: Trigonometry", which teaches with OpenSCAD, is on my reading list [0]

bRep environments liberate you from trig to some extent because you can build on arbitrary faces and edges, so you'd get some of those parametric, auto-updating benefits with Build123D or CadQuery.

FreeCAD's sketcher tool means I've only resorted to trig a few times.

Yeah, I agree that the way that comes out is really awkward. The first line there is reporting the context from in the Task module (because task.ex includes it explicitly in the exit call), and then the second is reporting a strerror-like translation of the :timeout reason, but the lines aren't clearly linked together that way and look more like chained events. All of the %Task{} stuff of course is just the inspection of the argument, but if your eye jumps to the “pid” part it can look like it's reporting that that's the exiting process even though it's not. And then the part where the first “exited” is written in past tense as though the exit happened, when in fact it's describing what the trap just caused to not actually fully happen, is probably the most confusing of all.
My oldest needed a self-esteem boost due to some bullying issues when he was 8, so we enrolled him in Jiu Jitsu. We figured it would be a good outlet - away from anyone that he knows, would keep him active, and would teach him to defend himself. He loves it entirely, but is just okay (he's pretty small and still pretty timid).

I'm waiting until he turns 16, and in the adult class himself, to start jiu jitsu at the same gym. It will line up nicely for where I am in life now and where I will be then. He is desperate for me to do the classes with him.

I am not excited to get DESTROYED by my child in the first class.

Whether a question is valid and worthy of exploration has nothing to do with whether the listener deems the intention behind it to be "correct". The preposterous notion that certain questions are part of a sinister "'Just asking questions' rhetorical device" and must be ignored long ago became, like "dogwhistle", the first resort of those that don't want the statement/question dealt with at all.

> Meh. Well. Good to hear on the cleanup. Didn't know it used to be different :/

If you want to be scared: Until not too long ago postgres' supervisor process would start some types of subprocesses from within a signal handler... Not entirely surprisingly, that found bugs in various debugging tools (IIRC at least valgrind, rr, one of the sanitizer libs).

> Re. SIGFPE, to be fair, it feels a bit like the "asynchronous vs. synchronous abort¹" thing on CPUs; synchronous aborts are reasonably doable while on asynchronous aborts you're pretty much left with torching things down far and wide.

Agreed, I think it's quite reasonable to use signals + longjmp() for the FP error case. In fact, I think we should do so more widely - we loose a fair bit of performance due to all kinds of floating point error checking that we could set up to instead signal.
> What is the meaning of life?

…is unanswerable not because life has no meaning, but because the answer is personal.

Part of growing up is to answer the question for yourself.

For me, part of the meaning of life is to walk in the woods and see as much as I can.
Part of the meaning of life is to understand the trauma of my family of origin and take steps forward with my daughter. Part of the meaning of life is to be ambitious and creative and build something lasting and useful, but to not do so in isolation, to be integrated in culture and people I respect.

Exactly zero of those may apply to you or anyone else. I’ve been here for 42 years and those are things that seem steady to me.

But another person could find radically different meaning.

That’s what I think these attempts to define life’s meaning in an essay are doomed to fail. The meaning of life is not a thing in the world. It’s a process we each can embark on, if we so choose.
I think in your scenario the phrase they'd use is "probable cause", having which allows them to eg. enter the premises vs. have to come back with a warrant.
Yeah, I agree it's unusual to describe "increased brightness" as "bigger distance repetition code". But I think it'll be a useful analogy in context, and I'd of course explain that.
Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide) associated with reduction in alcohol addiction
Lol what?? What's their retention policy?
Well, in this case it is very literally rent-seeking, eh.
I believe a test that would pass muster could be a "passer-by" test. If a person, unaided by technology, can from a public property, see something in or on the property, while passing by at a walking pace, no warrant is needed. Anything further should require a warrant.
No. A single entity setting prices is not collusion, collusion requires multiple parties.
It's really a fascinating question. Is it warrant-requiring surveillance if they capture a photo once per year as part of a survey? What if they park a drone over your house 24x7?

Technologies that can see through your walls like thermal imaging already require a warrant: https://www.willettlaw.net/blog/criminal-law-newsletter-4/

For maps, though, it's likely we'd take the same exemption we take for a lot of other surveillance data: buy it from commercial entities... Which then raises the question of what a random company can collect from the air, which this ruling does not address.
Wait. Did moot start Canvas, the educational platform that many, many, many universities use? That Canvas?

There's a few different aspects:

They're using non-publicly data provided by their friends/partners to set rental rates. This data includes lease length terms, de-marketing reasons, etc. They then use this data to set a price on a specific unit. If I used their software and was putting a unit up on the market, they would have the price they recommend. If I disagreed with that price, I wouldn't be able to change it. I had to submit an appeal to RealPage, they would review my appeal, and decide if the rental rate was correct or not. I, as the property owner/management company, have lost all ability to set rental rates myself to the complex I own or work for.

And due to their pricing being compared to their own units, or to their partners units, this amounts to price fixing.
