The lower end! I usually undercut the market rate by ~$50.

My house rents for $2400 a month. If I leave it on the market for just a month I would lose more money than I would gain in 2 years at a higher rent! So the incentive is to get it rented out as quickly as possible and get it booked before the other guy.

So my incentive is to be just a bit lower than the other guy so mine goes first.

I will not deny that the market rate for housing is absurdly high, but it is still a market and incentives still matter.

Show HN: No-Code ETL Framework for Vector Databases
We've open-sourced our no-code ETL framework for Vector Data processing.

The VectorETL framework allows Data & AI engineers seamlessly process data from multiple data sources (S3, MySQL, Postgres, Salesforce) to ALL MAJOR vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Milvus etc.) using just a config file.

This looks like it might be interesting or might not, and I wish it said more in the article itself about why it's cool rather than listing technicalities and types of machines. Do you have a favorite pitch in those dozens of references at the end?
Right, basically a legal form of extortion. "Pay up or we'll employ our best psychological manipulation techniques (invasive ads) to ensure you spend more money with us in the future". Paying to remove ads is such a grotesque result of hyper-capitalism.

> DA refuses to prosecute crime

Have there been any actual documented instances of this? I see it cited a lot, but rarely any specific names of DAs or cases attached to it, and it feels like an easy excuse for police to not even attempt to do their jobs.
Exactly that. It’s tempting to try to combine them - we’ve all been there. They’re subtly but inherently different, in my experience.
That would probably be an expensive lawyer.
> Their solution to this high level of crime is yet more incarceration.

True, more incarceration doesn't seem to fix anything. However less incarceration also does not fix anything (see downtown San Francisco).

> Finland and Norway have a much lower rate of incarceration

Finland and Norway are effectively monocultures. They don't have the same social issues we do. Look at any 1st world monoculture and you see the same low incarceration rate. Japan, Korea, Iceland, etc.
> I didn't want to cash the stock out immediately because I couldn't get info on the basis and what the capital gains taxes would be.

You'd need to figure that out eventually anyway. Better sooner than later.

But in any case, you could have sold the stock, transferred the money, and then re-purchased the stock and simply reported it as a wash sale.

> by this time the stock market had tanked

That can go either way. I've had stocks that I wanted to sell get held up, and go up in value in the meantime. So you have to just chalk that up to fate.

> While RealPage might command 80% of the market for this type of software, they only have 12,000 clients. There are over 5.2 million multi-family dwellings in the US.

Those statistics don't tell us enough to see if this is a problem, though. In the extreme case (obviously this is not true), everyone uses pricing software, so RealPage's 80% is 80% of all dwellings, and those 12,000 clients own 4.2M multi-family dwellings.

Also what matters is number of units, not number of multi-family dwellings. Owning a duplex does not give you the same clout over local rentals as, say, owning the only large (at say, 500 units) apartment complex does.

Only then will they finally waive the costs.

The trick is to become so incredibly annoying that some CxO / VP is going to bump you ahead in the queue and assign a dedicated customer experience manager.

Personally, if a bank were to steal $180.000 of my money, a few weeks in I'd probably start considering sticking "Chase is a criminal organization" posters on the doors of their regional headquarters, or getting tickets to industry events just so I can ask them at the Q&A where my money is. They may think "computer says no" is an acceptable answer, but that doesn't mean I can't make their life a living hell too - so why not make my problem our problem?

Yeah their abysmal handling of my wife's stolen checks convinced me that we need to dump them as fast as possible. One of the agents basically said "I'm not even going to bother asking my manager to expedite the funds. Don't even bother. They're just going to say no." My wife insisted, and so the agent went away for 60 seconds and came back and said "Okay those funds are back in your account have a nice day." Every interaction with their agents from their fraud department to the regular CSRs went like that. Even getting them to freeze the account didn't happen with the first or second agent she talked to.

I see a similar problem with email. It's been there for decades and it's still not a full substitute for fax. It fails at the very basic use case of automatically printing a page upon arrival (at least without a lot of quite complex hacking). It honestly seems like we could have used all that time to improve fax technology instead of pursuing this half-baked "can't even print a page" email.

I'll point out an interesting New York Times article "Ask it no questions: the camera can lie". This article discusses how photography had been seen as a medium of truth, but now "the veracity of photographic reality is being radically challenged" as "technology makes it easy to recompose and combine photographic images, and to do so in a way that is virtually undetectable." By creating a "kind of unsettled and unsettling hybrid imagery based not so much on observable reality and actual events as on the imagination", "photographs will appear less like facts and more like factoids" and will "fundamentally alter not only conventional ideas about the nature of photography but also many cherished conceptions about reality itself."

This article, by the way, is from 1990.

Leica signs images in the camera in their new M11-P (and presumably future cameras that cost less than $9000). Canon, Nikon and Sony are also working on adding this to their future cameras. And thanks to Lightroom integration that signature can be preserved through edits, with a trail of what you changed.

Maybe at some point this will also trickle down to smartphone cameras. Though with the tiny sensors mandated by the smartphone form factor there is always a lot of preprocessing going on, and it's hard to draw a clear line between just clearing up the sensor data and simple beauty filters. But the examples in the article seem pretty clear cut

Not really. It just replaces this problem with a different but equally difficult problem: managing your crypto keys, which is a skill in and of itself. And if you hire someone to do it for you now you are right back where you started, trusting a third party.

The other problem from what I can see was a lot of frog-boiling. MCAS was actually originally designed for a slightly different aerodynamic situation, but in flight testing, they discovered a different and more serious instability.

The engineers determined that they could use the MCAS to fix this problem too, but the amount of control input had to be about 4x as much for this situation (2.5 degrees vs. 0.6 degrees of stabilizer movement). They also made it so MCAS could activate multiple times. The original safety analysis was based on the 0.6 degrees for one shot, which wouldn't have put the plane in a situation where the pilots couldn't overpower it, like what happened in the two crashes, so the system was put in a lower safety category that didn't require the same redundancy. Dominic Gates wrote about this in [1]

Given that the plane was already built and in flight test, the production lines were ready to start, and there were massive contract penalties for either late delivery, or additional pilot training, the pressure to hack something in and ship must have been enormous.

The only place to make a change and still hit the deadline was in the software, and unfortunately even the software was limited by Boeing's redundancy strategy of having two completely independent sets of flight computers and sensors. Having one computer look at sensors from both the left and right sides compromises the concept of having them be completely independent, and so it wasn't done, even though ultimately that was what was used as the fix.

> Do you want to invest tens of millions of dollars into building an apartment with zero expectations of making a return?

No, but this doesn't change the fact that housing is a basic good like gasoline and insurance. Controls in those industries don't prevent companies from investing. Profit regulation doesn't mean no profit.

> price controls on housing lead to few developers willing to build there

Because there are alternate places without those controls. If housing were treated like the essential good that it is, there wouldn't be any ROI havens, and developers would adapt (or die if they can't accept reducing the typical ROI, which averages around 15%)

> rising demand which has not been satisfied by new housing construction

There's plenty of demand, just not for the houses that are being built. (That's not to say there aren't specific cities where there is no supply). Based on most affordability standards, many can't afford the typical rent or mortgage. If those prices can't come down, or income can't go up, then new types of much cheaper housing must be built.

I wholeheartedly agree that landlords should not engage in abusive behavior: Landlords should not discriminate on the basis of protected class. They should keep units safe and up-to-code. They should not engage in deceptive practices like advertising one unit and selling a different one, or falsifying facts about the unit.

But where I'm not going to agree is the notion that setting rent above a certain threshold is "abusive landlord behavior". If a landlord is setting the rent too high, the consequence should be that the unit stays vacant. If someone is willing to pay that rent, then evidently the rent wasn't too high.

> running models to determine the highest possible vacancy rate for an area that will lead to the highest possible market rate

In my view, holding units vacant intentionally in order to increase profit should be illegal. Vacancy taxes don't go far enough; landlords who do this should be forced to sell any units they've decided to keep vacant, or see their properties seized.

Optimizing profit around providing people shelter (or avoiding doing so) is evil.

A more relevant bit of background is that 4KB pages lead to quite a lot of overhead due to the sheer number of mappings needing to be configured and cached. Using larger pages reduce overhead, in particular TLB misses as fewer entries are needed to describe the same memory range.

While x86 chips mainly supports 4K, 2M and 1G pages, ARM chips tend to support more practical 16K page sizes - a nice balance between performance and wasting memory due to lower allocation granularity.
