Who gives a fuck about rich nimby dickheads who would rather see people homeless than see people housed?

The 6 poor families that could afford to have stable living conditions on the plot of land your single family home sit on outweigh your opinion 6 to 1. They'd rather have a home.

Stop projecting your idea of "good housing" onto the rest of us: the overwhelming majority of us live in cities and are interested in stability over 1 acre of useless yard.

Yeah but midrise apartments are by definition more popular?

6 years saving 20k is legitimately the "skip lattes and cancel Netflix" levels of saving.

It's $270 a month extra.

Only saving $270 a month in NYC means 1 month of layoffs wipes out 6 months of saving in rent alone.

If you don't see the violence inherent in that system then you're fucking blind.

I had spent 6 years fastidiously saving to have 20k in investments when I got hired by Google.

I was laid off in the wave 9 months later.

So no: I didn't (and don't) have enough money to just start my own company.

It's workers of the world unite not workers of the world only allow people who match your purity test. If you're not with us, you're part of the problem.

We'll see how many of those long term listings keep around vs selling out from not being profitable.

I figured given that I'm on c/selfhosted that it probably wasn't only synapse just was curious about overhead.

I've got a little raid 5 8tb server under my desk that I just use locally to fuck around with/VPN back into my house/store larger backups on.

I'd never want to be using it to host anything like a website or service, so I'm always curious what the web hosters have and pay.

How much does a vps cost running your matrix client? It can't be more than a couple bucks a month right?

It takes a lot of engineering and design to make complex customization easy with intuitive defaults. Kinda antithetical to the scrappy startup nature of matrix

Leetcode style interviews are good for showing off that you're a smart and flexible employee who can solve novel problems.

The issue is that most companies don't have any novel problems and they just need quiet competence... But want the best/smartest w/e

A human rights violation is not the same as a basic rights violation. A genocide is not the same thing as an execution. Are they not human indicates this is a human right, and the discussion was then on human rights.

Despite all of that, as I explicitly stated in my comment, America can and should do better.

A prisoner does not deserve death by heat stroke, regardless of their crime. Providing sufficient ice to keep the prisoners alive is mandatory for them. Providing AC seems like a better long term solution. American justice considers it a crime for prisoners to die in custody on a date other than their execution day. They have a legal right to life.

Genuine question: what do you define as a human right?

If I had the power we'd all live in a post scarcity utopia in the stars and all the resources of that community would be the right of all the inhabitants thereof.

My understanding of the phrase human right is an irreducible standard that all humans should be afforded. Peaceful living. Food. Shelter. Community. Learning.

The UN declaration on human rights is all in that vein.

Of course many people don't live with all the "human rights" afforded by the UN, but it's a standard that all humans should expect.

So calling climate control a human right doesn't seem to fit? Hawaii nobody has AC or a furnace, does that mean their human rights are violated? Or only if Hawaiian jails do not have climate control, because they don't get to choose?

The human right is not control of your climate: the human right is shelter and livable conditions.
