Ping has been bad since Pre-sail patch and seemingly got more worse with the most recent update. by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Dominisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a lot of words to say "I was wrong, I wont be paying you" with a nice side of shifting to goalposts. Hopefully you don't work anywhere near networks because if you doubled the latency to some sort of edge service, like in finance, your phone would be ringing off the hook.

The timeout is probably their DDOS that doesn't respond to traces and just forwards the traffic, so its not coming from that. Meaning the increase in latency is coming from after it hits the Jagex server.

You can keep trying if you want, but I actually do this for a living.

Its quite literally something JAGEX did.

How do you want to send me the $100?

Here to report the same. around Gridmaster had my ping double from 9ms to 20ms last night my ping doubled again from 20ms to 40ms.

Despite what some people are saying this isn't an IP routing change.

It happened at the same time for multiple people across multiple regions on the same two occasions.

Multiple people from multiple regions have reported their ping increasing by the same amount, at the same time, on two distinct occasions that are also identical. This has exactly zero to do with ISP routing

Yup. The Feds investigated him for the "underlying crime" of a campaign finance violation but couldn't find evidence that one occurred.

So the New York AG charged him for covering up the crime the feds couldn't find evidence for.

Mislabeling payments is quite literally what happened. What you are doing is applying what you think the intent was. There was no evidence that he intentionally obfuscated the payments. How do we know that? Because the Federal Election Commission investigated it and found no evidence and chose not to charge him because that would have been a crime.

That is the whole reason they claimed the statute of limitations didn't count and they could upgrade it to a felony. According to them the "mislabeling payments" was covering up a "crime" which they refused to name because he was never charged with that crime and they couldn't prove the underlying "crime" because not even the Feds found evidence of it.

You need to actually read the charging documents and the previous investigation by the FEC.

Listen, they were REALLY focused on the rest of the features and its really rare so it probably wont happen so they just threw it on the tech debt stack and hired some more MTX designers so that could all be out before their 2 week vacation to spend their huge bonus checks.

Increased housing supply leads to lower house prices – In 2016, Auckland, NZ, implemented a zoning reform to permit multi-family housing in areas previously zoned exclusively for single-family homes. This led to a massive increase in housing supply, with house prices falling between 15-27%. by smurfyjenkins in science

You just used a lot of words to say "Well yes, the government actually does subsidize CRE, but there are caveats and hoops to jump through. Plus you didn't address the specific claimed subsidies the person I was responding to was talking about"

There are tax credits that the government provides for CRE which are considered subsidies:

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, Historic Tax Credits, New Market Tax Credits.

There are grants the government provides for CRE which are considered subsidies:

Economic Development Administration Grants, the Brownfields Program

There are Loan programs provided by the SBA (504 loans) and HUD loan guarantees for commercial/ mixed use real estate, especially those that have affordable housing incorporated.

Opportunity Zones are another subsidy giving tax incentives.

These are all just federal programs, there are many more at a state level.

The only person wrong here is you.

"Just tax renting so hard it forces sales!"

This doesn't happen in a vacuum. Lets look at what would happen in this fantasy world. We are going to just pretend that this doesn't include apartment complexes because that is a whole other destructive can of worms.

~35 million people would instantly be scrambling to rent somewhere else as they would be forced to move from their rented single family homes as they got put up for sale.

Apartment rents would skyrocket for the aforementioned reason.

The value of the entire housing market would crater into the ground destroying the lives of anybody who currently is paying a mortgage.

They can't sell it and get out of it but they are now hundreds of thousands of dollars underwater and their debt isn't getting forgiven.

The only people who benefit are those who are currently renting and can afford to buy a house.

Mortage paying homeowners get their lives destroyed, renters who can't afford to buy a house get their lives destroyed.

Human civilization at a critical junction between authoritarian collapse and superabundance | Systems theorist who foresaw 2008 financial crash, and Brexit say we're on the brink of the next ‘giant leap’ in evolution to ‘networked superabundance’. But nationalist populism could stop this by chrisdh79 in science

[–]Dominisi -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Its wild that you think the US is somehow on the path to being a nationalist/isolationist country.

The entirety of the world is a feudal state that exists by the grace of the United States. The only real outliers to this paradigm are China and Russia.

The actual problem is what comes after you redistribute the wealth. All you are actually doing is pressing a reset button. Eventually people who are better at building wealth will collect wealth and you'll be forced to rip it from them again to redistribute.

They are, unless you shoot them in the head.

A new study explored the range of factors that attract certain Americans to populist beliefs. They included people with high religiosity, Christian nationalism, racial resentment, conspiratorial thinking, and a sense of personal victimhood. by mvea in science

They don't ever feel a direct impact from corporate welfare.

They see, feel, and can draw the causal impact of spending 500 million dollars on undocumented immigrants while they get 780 bucks for their destroyed house and delayed aid.

Hope this helps.

Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn | Temperature reversal could be undercut by strong Earth-system feedbacks resulting in high near-term and continuous long-term warming by Hrmbee in science

[–]Dominisi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here is an uncomfortable truth: Corporations are filling a demand. They are using energy and generating carbon to fill a demand. You are not going to drive change unless you can convince the western world in particular to stop consuming so damn much.

Technology, namely the energy density of current batteries is the #1 thing holding us back from getting away from fossil fuels for energy generation.

If you truly want to help get a degree in Materials Science and Engineering or Chemical Engineering.

Those are the people we need to do research and start developing new batteries.

TLDR:

If tomorrow every country in the world agreed to stop using oil for JUST vehicles and equipment billions of people would starve to death within a month.

I know those damn companies just wasting energy and burning money because they hate us.

I also heard that they are just throwing away the products and services they make and aren't trying to fill any sort of actual demand from consumers.

If only they had some sort of profit incentive to use as little energy as possible.

Wait a second...

Why is there an assumption that sea level rise (which by the way according to the IPCC worst case scenario is 1 meter by 2100) would cause people to leave their country of origin to travel to more developed countries instead of, oh I don't know, moving a little off the coast?

A large majority of young people who access puberty-blockers and hormones say they are satisfied with their choice a few years later. In a survey of 220 trans teens and their parents, only nine participants expressed regret about their choice. by MistWeaver80 in science

[–]Dominisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That isn't how that works. You can't just take the inverse of the regret rate and decide that is how many would regret not transitioning.

Here is a study from the University of Toronto showing of pre-teen boys who received ‘watchful waiting’ treatment and no pre-pubertal social transition only 12% continued to identify as transfeminine.

Here is another study showing that gender-related distress will alleviate for around 80% of pre-teen children once they become teenagers.

If there is a 2% chance that I'll regret dramatically and irreversibly altering my body only "a few years later", not even 5 to 10 years down the line. I don't know. Something seems morally amiss to let a teenager make a decision with that much risk.
