This reverses causation. Investors are involved because prices are going up, not the other way around.

"Investors buying up housing" is a common explanation alongside "short term rentals taking over" but neither make up a large enough portion of the demand to explain prices.

> the slow and unproven trickle-down effect of market-rate housing

Slow and unproven? Supply and demand is the most reliable law of economics. Cities like Austin that are building market rate housing are actively seeing affordability improve.

Furthermore, even if it wasn't sufficient, abundance YIMBYism would still be helpful and necessary.

I think the best solution for this is to just not use webfonts, and in fact use the system font instead.

They literally mention Amazon in their comment

I don't know if you would even need to mandate it. Stop mandating it, and start taxing all benefits as income, and you remove the biggest incentive for employers for pay for them.

Yep the biggest problem with the ACA was that it doubled down on health insurance as a benefit of employment, when it should have taken steps to transition everyone off of employer provided plans.

It's a common operation on sets, so would make `HashSet::union` [1] and friends less obvious, for no real benefit.

Agreed. Anybody buying this would be better off spending that money on a used card like a 2070 or 3060, and might even save a buck.

JIT is totally independent from 6-sig.

AC will only make the problem worse in the long term. Picadilly got AC because it has above-ground sections.

The title can be interpreted as "there's a new laser that is now America's most powerful"

There can be many incentives for people to use official sources: early access, easy updates, live events, etc

NRC is holding back new designs, not existing ones.

> If you think copyright shouldn't exist, you're free to ignore any rights afforded you for your work, "the state" is not going to enforce anything unless you bring a case to a court.

That doesn't give other people who would like to use my work any useful guarantee, though. Without a license, they would be taking a lot of risk, even if they knew my views on copyright.

> Much of common law is specifically about property, upon which a good portion of modern day governance is founded. So your objection to copyright seems somewhat misinformed.

Physical property has exclusive use. Multiple people cannot use 100% of something at the same time. "Intellectual property" has no such trait. Multiple identical copies of the same work can be used by multiple people at the same time.

Ownership defines who has exclusive use of a thing. Copyright actually defies common law by requiring state power to enforce monopolies on certain information, even on property owned by parties with no association to the originator of a work.

> What is it about copyright that you think is a negative in today's society?

Copyright is sold as "promoting the arts" but in net slows innovation and decreases artistic freedom. Especially in its current form with extremely long lifetimes, it primarily enables rent-seeking by publishers at the expense of the public. There are other ways for artists to make money, and many artists already make most of their money by performing live shows, working on commission, selling early access subscriptions, etc.

Would you apply the same logic to immigration and marijuana possession?

To be clear, I think copyright should not exist, as I don't think it follows from the basic principles on which our governance is founded. Regardless of my view on the matter, the state will still enforce copyright. Under the written law, this allows people to treat my work as if copyright did not exist (to a reasonable approximation).

Maybe a different, even more permissible license (public domain like) would be more fitting, but I am a practical person and understand that a more common and well understood license is better for this purpose.

It typically just means gutting DEI programs, not firing people hired because of them.

I, for one, don't accept copyright as correct law. Under that principle, there is no difference.

> Problem is that the dust from it is terrifyingly toxic, but in it's finished form it's "safe to handle".

Doesn't that mean it would be problematic for electronics recycling?

I think you can have two people who, both acting in good faith, can completely lose it over textual communication. Even a phone call can make the same discussion ten times easier.

> If I've "learned" Harry Potter to the level where I can reproduce it verbatim, the reproduction would be a copyright violation.

Yes.

> If I can paraphrase it, ditto.

Not necessarily. Summarizing, for instance, is typically free use.

If you pirate a text book, learn from it, and then apply that knowledge to write your own textbook: your textbook would not be a copyright violation of the original, even though you "stole" the original.

This actually is niche optimization. The outer enum is using the niches available in the tag of the inner enum for its own discriminant.

The author seems to have a limited understanding of niche optimization.

That seems to be a much weaker claim than "allows at the very least the government to tie each web page visit, each resource load, back to a real person"

What about Monero/XMR? Isn't is fully anonymous by design?

Now do a project with multiple files.

You can disable all system animations at

There's no built-in way to set hotkeys to switch to a specific desktop. And my primary annoyance is that there's no way to set hotkeys to move a given window to a different desktop.

> Just today I upgraded the CPU fan to a new one that required to completely take apart the whole casing (because the fan has a plastic mount that needs to be on the other side of the motherboard); doing this, and putting it all together, took maybe 40 minutes? And everything restarted just perfectly afterwards. I love this machine.

This is a crazy irrelevant example. Why would you expect any other OS to act differently? CPU fans connect with a 4-pin header, it's not like switching out a major component of your system.

Patents and copyright are very different beasts.

And using more efficient algorithms or data structures that are painful and/or difficult to use in C.
