You are strawmanning me. Nothing in my statement suggests that treating housing as a product means it has to be exploitatively expensive or given away for free. If anything, most industrial products are supposed to get cheaper over time.

> The fact that providing people with housing is even seen as an "industry"

> It is essential to living a decent life.

What troublesome phrasing. "Provide" implies people should get housing for free, and "decent" implies getting "decent" housing for free...

Well, so who is actually paying for it then? Magical handwavy "government" money? Everyone knows where government money comes from, right? Right?

Do we want more printed money and uncontrollable inflation? No? Oh so we should just steal this money from people who worked hard, because some others didn't?

> It should not be a driver of lining the pockets of people who are already rich.

Ah yes, the ol' "rich people bad" whipping horse. Despite the tens of millions of jobs created by "rich people" and the millions and millions of people who live in actually decent housing in exchange for market rates.

The fact that some people actually truly believe "free government housing" is going to be "decent" is absolutely tragic. Yes, let's doom millions to the "projects" because it makes us feel better knowing those darn rich people aren't making money!

If anyone wants a porthole view into what government housing looks like - take a look at the plethora of stories and pictures from our military barracks, across all branches. Mold, bugs, broken appliances, holes in walls, locks that don't work... and nobody cares despite the very vocal, highly visible complaints. There's a reason our service men and women scramble to off-base housing the moment they are allowed.
I know someone who had an almost identical experience with CIBC in Canada: accounts (including payroll) completely frozen, nobody to contact, nobody who can help. Never found out the reason, either.

I think it's clear that this was not at all an "arm's length negotiation" with an independent Special Committee but, at the same time, it's not clear that any harm was done to Tesla shareholders.

Tesla traded up on the news that the pay package was re-approved by shareholders and the similar voting outcome (72% vs 73% originally) in light of all of this information seems to indicate that the shareholders genuinely want this to go through.

power is also a good proxy. For example, we've had distributed runs that we monitored on WandB where one of our workers died in the middle and the rest were basically stalling on the dead worker. On WandB, we were only logging GPU stats on one worker and that one had 100% util but basically no excess power draw compared to having nothing running, which is how I found out something was stalling. Restarting fixed it and got the power draw up to normal, but even with high power draw, we were still having some sections of code with low SM efficiency (~20%) for that training.
This is even more true at a local credit union.

Add in the co-op network of credit unions, where you can go to any branch of any of the member unions (50k+ branches last time I checked, but it's been awhile) and it's hard for me to understand why people bother with these big banks.
It is much simpler to open access to the same network using port knocking than setting up VPN apps and profiles on TV.
How are the corporate landlords able to rent their units if the small landlords are selling equal quality units for substantially less? Wouldn't everyone just rent from the small landlords while the corporate apartments stay vacant? This is the hole in the price-fixing argument: price-fixing only works when everyone is onboard, otherwise the parties not involved in price fixing will gobble up the market share.

I wouldn't be surprised if corporate-run apartments are more expensive. They're are usually renting much nicer buildings with amenities like air conditioning, parcel delivery rooms, gated parking, etc.
I generally agree with your assessment. As someone mentioned above though, I think the emails where RealPage is telling landlords not to lower prices are much more damning. It puts RP as the locus of collusion.
Most credit unions participate in the credit union shared branching network, so I recommend joining your local credit union of choice. You can then go into the branches of several other credit unions to do most banking needs.

The caveat is if there's a major problem, like here, then you'd need to deal directly with your home credit union.
did you retype this? Assuming not, I just noticed they made the "if" -> "fi" typo twice and in two different ways -- interesting that what amounts to boilerplate can have that stuff get through.

This sounds similar to a seedbox, a server rented to do piracy so DMCA complaints and such are sent to your seedbox provider instead of you.

The seedbox providers are typically headquartered somewhere where they can just burn DMCA notices. The servers themselves are also often located in piracy friendly jurisdictions (the Netherlands used to be common, not sure what’s current).

They usually come pre-installed with a remotely accessible torrent client like Deluge, Transmission, etc. Also often includes other software like VPNs, Plex, etc.

You should be relatively safe using one. The server does all the torrenting, you just download the files over FTP so you never appear in the swarm directly. It’s also a huge pain in the ass for law enforcement because it becomes international quickly. You’re in country X, the server with its IP in the swarm is in country Y, and the company that has the rental agreement with the data center for the server is in country Z.

Anecdotally, I used to spend some time in the space and I can’t recall a seed box provider ever getting raided. I think they just generally don’t bother with folks technical enough to go that far; there are easier fish to fry.
Well yeah? for most people housing isn't abstract.
there are massive and documented scandals at the US Federal level with the departments assigned to regulate and serve those markets (HUD etc).. an easy and relevant start is the Savings and Loan collapse of the 80s, directly on top of mortgage monies
> This line of thinking is what leads to situations like San Francisco, where price controls on housing lead to few developers willing to build there.

Not sure what "price controls" you're talking about, but the reason it's expensive to build in SF (which reduces the appeal for builders) is zoning, the byzantine planning process, the ability of local residents to effectively block or delay projects, and weaponized environmental review.

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

Building housing doesn't need to be an investment opportunity. In a better world, I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would be happy to build housing with only enough profit to pay employees a comfortable wage. These sorts of people don't have the ability to break into the industry, though.
But as evidence of price fixing, people claiming to get sellers the best possible price isn't a smoking gun in any other market - essential or not.
One really, really critical piece of this: our ability to discern quality is predominated by how much quality we've had the opportunity to discern in our lifetimes.

Jeff has eaten at ten thousand restaurants around the world in his lifetime. Nick drinks Soylent for 80% of his calories; the other 20% often comes from McDonalds or Chipotle. They've both eaten at this Bistro you are considering getting dinner at; after asking for their opinion, would you assign more weight to Jeff's or Nick's?

Its true that 99% of the population cannot discern the difference between lossless and ~320kbps lossy audio encoding. Is that truly a "natural" phenomena? Or is it learned through existence in an inevitable world where high quality music and high-quality listening devices aren't available to most people? What impacts does this have as that drop in quality feeds upstream: when producers and musicians make music with Airpods because that's what they grew up with, and its what most of their audience uses?

Music is a less interesting domain of this discussion because, really, most platforms do lossless now. Spotify is adding it soon. Its basically the default on Apple Music and Tidal. AM has genuine multi-channel Dolby Atmos. Extremely high quality music consumption has never been easier or more accessible (well, a 3.5mm jack would be nice, but that's a sailed ship).

IMO: Video is a far, far more tragic loss. Netflix charges more for access to 4K content; but you'd be a fool to pay it, because as many who have streamed both would attest, "4K isn't worth it you can barely tell the difference between 1080p". If you played these same people a Bluray of that release, their minds would be blown. Near-100% of people can discern the difference, and would prefer the Bluray; but Netflix will not stream that quality, because its an order of magnitude more bandwidth usage. What's more: Many recent productions are simply never available in this highest-quality format. Because 99% of content is consumed via Compressed Stream: TV panel quality at the same price point has stagnated or even dropped over the past five years. I hope you'll believe that some major productions may soon have a conversation like "Why do we need these five figure dollar 16k cameras, this is just going to stream on netflix, just grab a basic Sony DSLR from B&H and let's save some money."

>My street name changed and I still have issues now and then with geolocation.

This happened at my previous house, except with an additional twist: the street name was changed to an identical streetname, less than a mile away, but within a different city.

Adding to the confusion, my address was duplicated on that other street with a commercial brokerage which often gets sued. How do I know about these lawsuits? — because several process servers showed up (over about eight years living there) to sue the other address. They never believed my factual explanation: the numbers repeat on the same road, so closely ("yeah, ok buddy").
I never lived in a country where the delivery guy just leaves your shit out in the open. Why is this common in the US, when in most "safe" EU countries, people would never trust such a practice? Seems like an anti-consumer practice enforced by industry on the consumer.

No, packages should not be stolen from people's porch. But realistically, it's very hard to stop this crime of opportunity.
The part I left out was that I also went to a thrift store and found a couple of used 1080p Blu-rays for older films for around $5 each. There were almost no 4k Blu-rays though, and no new releases.

this reminded me to cancel my Prime free trial. I quit Prime a while back and then got continually harassed with lights-on-nobody-home sales pitches like ‘You spent $42.31 on shipping last year’ (like that’s a reason to buy a subscription that costs 3-4x as much!)

They say you can only get one free trial a year so I figured taking one and canceling might let me shop on AMZN for another 11 months without harassment.

Why can't it be?

I have always completely not trusted photos for several years now.

Like I can look at them and believe them, but as soon as they contain something of importance that would actually matter in a great way, I simply already "checked out" of trusting them for that purpose years ago already.

This will only make more people trust photos even less, which is a good thing, because they already shouldn't be as trusting of them as they are.
> Wouldn't everyone just rent from the small landlords while the corporate apartments stay vacant?

If there was enough supply, they absolutely would.

> They're are usually renting much nicer buildings with amenities like air conditioning, parcel delivery rooms, gated parking, etc.

It sure sounds like you've never rented. This is, in the vast majority of cases, not reality.

I've seen it too. You can get away with a lot of inefficiencies and still technically get the job done.
Can confirm KYC really helps (in reverse) at small/regional banks. Shout-out to Midfirst Bank https://www.midfirst.com/about-us for walking the walk.

I deliberately flow a higher percentage of transactions through my, literally 10 min walk away, regional bank branch. I also occasionally (~once/month), literally walk into the lobby (shocking I know) to say "hi!" when withdrawing cash at the ATM for travel.

They know me by name & face. I'm not just a number to the tellers, the manager, and the vp, and likewise back to them.

Shockingly, I get fees waived for wires the occasional cashier's check, and am appraised of anything else going on with the website, upcoming services, and pending transactions (even at high relative holding percentages from one-time routes) flow through like butter.

Relationship banking at its finest.

I don’t think having a centralized validation authority makes a currency centralized. Centralized currency usually implies the means to control that currency. While the monarch may control the supply of gold minted into coins, they don’t control the supply of gold itself.

It would have been an inconvenient currency for small transactions, but it’s still a currency.

The bank currencies were weird. Iirc, some of that was wrapped up in the Civil War and the Confederate currency being “official” but also basically worthless towards the end of the war. I think the Great Depression killed them, when banks became insolvent and their currencies became worthless.
This appears to be stolen from a PO Box which is secured with a lock. The thieves defeated this.
As an employee, I've typically needed to show up in person, but I've worked with contractors who never showed up in person. I've even been such a contractor at times.

Lots of commercial products use contractors and licensed code in the final product.

At least with most open source projects, a lot of the contribution process is in the open, so you could watch it you wanted to. As DonHopkins writes elsewhere, few people do, but it's possible. Not a lot of commercial projects offer that level of transparency into changes.

Navy Could Sideline 17 Support Ships Due to Manpower Issues
From issue:

* Checkmarkx (security vendor) reported bogus cve in april / may
* Maintainers didn't agree the cve was real so they ignored it
* Snyk and other automated scanners start harassing users about the cve
* Users are annoyed by scanners and scary messages from all kinds of tools
* Users start messaging devs, also devs of dependent packages which use micromatch
* Hundreds, maybe thousands of hours are wasted

In the end, the situation erodes trust into automated scanners. This is "a boy who've cried wolf" type of situation. When useless vulnerabilities get promoted, it's easy to lose track of something more important.

Besides automated scanners, checkmarx should also be held responsible for this waste of everyone's time.
Dynamic price control of rents to prevent them from accelerating beyond what wages can support (existing tenants win vs potential new market entrants, them the breaks when supply is catching up to demand or cannot meet demand), tenant rights with strong local regulatory oversight, government incentives to encourage a diverse ecosystem of suppliers bringing new supply onto the market based on forecasted market demand (cost of capital, regulatory streamlining support, construction labor pipeline, etc), upzoning whenever possible to encourage density as much as reasonable.

Supplier diversity is needed to prevent use of market power to restrict new supply coming online to hold rents higher than they otherwise would be (strong evidence homebuilders are doing this current state, restricting supply to juice profitability). The rest should be self explanatory. As you said, there is no silver bullet; it is various policy measures working in concert to attempt to arrive at a desired outcome. I am not anti profits, I am anti "gouge the human for basic needs for profits."

TLDR Some profits? Okay. Too much profit? Not okay. People living in constant fear of not having a home? Not okay. Build, build, build.

(am a landlord myself, do not raise rents unless actual costs go up, reduce rents when needed by tenants, keep my profits reasonable [~%6-%10], usually no more than $100/month/door)
Because there's a shortage of units overall. All units get rented; the corporate landlords just make more profit, and a lot of people are priced out of the market, including many existing residents.

I added "private prices" as one of the factors because the official DOJ wording in the complaint mentions "nonpublic/confidential/sensitive" prices in 3 different places:

"In a bed", then. I.e., his life was not shortened deliberately by other people.

And Beria was never leader of Russia or the Soviet Union: he was head of the spy service, a position held since 2008 by Alexander Bortnikov. You've heard about Beria, but probably haven't heard about Bortnikov because Bortnikov has been much much less violent and hasn't made a habit of raping Russian women in plain view on the streets of Moscow like Beria did.

And I disagree with your assertion that the Putin regime is more autocratic than the other Russian / Soviet regimes since the death of Stalin. Opposition leader Navalny for example held that Crimea should be part of Russia; ditto Yeltsin. (And Russia's holdings in Donetsk, Zaphorizia and Kherson oblasts can be seen as necessary to make it viable to hold Crimea over the long term: the so-called land bridge.) If Putin dies suddenly, Russian politics probably goes on mostly the way it has been going: i.e., very slowly becoming more liberal and more committed to the rule of law, with some setbacks. (I do not deny that Yeltsin was more liberal than Putin.)

Arguably the US's finest diplomat was George Kennan, who predicted before Putin became leader of Russia that NATO's policy of expanding eastward would eventually cause Moscow to react with military force, which Kennan correctly predicted would be misinterpreted by the West as a re-awakening of Russian imperialist ambitions. Kissenger was also against NATO expansion as were many other Western diplomats and international-relations experts.
I've worked at companies where the internal vibe among engineering was that the product was shit, but customers loved it. Engineers are looking at parts they know could be better; customers are looking at the competition.
I would add that, at least historically, a reputable photojournalist wouldn't likely build a very successful career on faked photos. It's heavily disincentivized. The time and effort required to build the necessary skills and clout won't casually be wasted by a professional. And if and when it does happen that a photojournalist is caught in a lie, the rest are quick to reject it, because it damages their own reputations and livelihoods.

But now, there's little to stop anyone from producing images depicting anything, and we've seen how systems that are blind to ethics can be manipulated into disseminating such images at a speed and scale that far outpaces fact-checking. Professional standards and traditional gatekeeping have no power against it.
