Re:Why Rent Control Doesn't Work on Monday April 08, 2019 @03:04AM (#19602823)
* SF: has rent control, prices go up.

* Cambridge: removes rent control, prices go up.

How do you show the causal relationship? Seems like there's constrained housing supply everywhere.

snakemake does this trivially:

    rule analyze_country:
        input: 'whatever.{country}.txt'
        output: 'analysis.{country}.txt'
        shell:
            'run-analysis-on-country {input} {output} --country=country'

    rule analyze_target_countries:
        input: ['analysis.usa.txt', 'analysis.canada.txt', 'analysis.mexico.txt']
Re:Ask HN: What biographies/memoirs to read in 2018? on Tuesday January 02, 2018 @02:47AM (#16050521)
Shrill by Lindy West and Hunger by Roxane Gay. They are both memoirs by excellent women writers talking about being a woman and about being fat in American society.
