Housing is not actually that special. It is true it doesn't behave according to the econ 101 model that most high schoolers learn in class, but in econ 201+ classes explain it. The main difference is that land is the limiting factor or

You'd have a hard time re-entering the usa after automatically losing the case by not showing up at the courthouse and not paying the bill. But in any case the scenario of leaving the country is not unique to airbnb and exists for rent

The author lists every reason under the sun while missing the most important one: zoning or aka restricting buildable land that is causing the housing shortage

Lol, and once you build houses in those new regions, I'd assume those neighbors also block new housing from being built near them? Plus there's still plenty of jobs that cannot be done remotely, I feel generally in the tech world

Those aren't really useful homes then. The housing crisis is more accurately an imbalance of houses-to-jobs in a metro area.

The original commenter said "Prop 22 was intended to be almost impossible to overturn, requiring a higher bar for amendment than even the state constitution, and only permitting the legislature to amend it if the amendment was "co

Many other Californian ballot measures also have no waiver. Not saying prop 22 has no drawbacks, but there's no reason to make up fake reasons to criticize it.

Thats a bit misguided in interpreting the propositions. By default propositions cannot be override by the legislature, by adding the provision it was more amendable than normal.

Usually you'd have the "physics" system hold onto the array while the EntityData would hold a pointer to the PhysicsComponent for that Entity. That way each entity can access it's data quickly, and if there is some heavy

Increasing the price of water would of course work. There is nothing inherently special about water. What is special is how water has been underpriced for so long as well as the use of aquifers through wells temporarily 'increasing the

If there's a water drought every year -- it's not really a temporary drought. There's permanently less water now. Some person/industries needs to use less water and the urban sector is only using 10~15% even major cuts t

Desalinations projects would not solve the issue. The 'water crisis' is really an economic problem with the underpricing of water leading to suboptimal practices not a engineering one. Even if desalination worked moderately -- Cal

Agreed, though I'd interpret it slightly different. Like if I said 100 cars per hour and each car needs 30 seconds of spacing per car the units don't cancel out because they are physically taking up space for the "30 seconds

It's kinda the opposite scenario. The hackers knew they were willing to pay more but didn't actually want to cause this much attention and so lowballed so they'd quickly pay. At least according to https://finance.y

I agree, there's going to be a massive oversupply of chips. If the US, EU, China, and also the current chip producers all increase output that's way too many chips. I recently watched a youtube video predicting a semiconductor bus

You can do a tiered system. First 10 something gallons is 'rationed' price with it getting slightly more expensive as you want more. Allows you to get more if you really need it, but also ensures that most can get at least some. A
