  • Okay, so I'm the owner. I buy the house at price X in 2026. My 30 year mortgage payment A = (X + interest - down payment)/n, where n is the number of paying periods in 30 years.

    Let's say A is equal to the rent that I set on the tenant(s). Over 30 years, the tenant(s) have paid X + interest, correct? Since they're been paying an amount equal to the mortgage payment. That amount encapsulates the risks because it includes the interest. In total, by 2056, I will have paid off the mortgage

    So if in 2056 I sell the house for exactly X (imagine the property hasn't gained value at all) I'll have profited X - down payment dollars. If I was savvier, I would've held on for a bit longer to pay off the down payment, too, or set the rent higher. At no point did I do any work, the tenant(s) paid off my investment and the risk was always on them. This argument holds even if I don't wait until 2056 and sell the house before then with the equity that I have built off of my tenants' payments.

    Ergo, landlords are leeches that provide absolutely 0 value and do nothing but hoard and drive up the cost of housing. The only way for this to be fair is if the tenants get equity instead of the landlord while they're renting, but that'd mean landlords wouldn't stand to gain anything (which makes sense because they provide nothing anyway)

  • You can also use Rust to do what she said, raw pointers can be dereferenced to be read and modified as bytes regardless of what the original type was. But that's unsafe and not advisable to do unless you really know what you're getting into.

    That being said, you'll still have to deal with the borrow checker in unsafe code, so it doesn't exactly let you break all the rules.

  • I'm trying to find a post from like, /r/vaush or something, that said "Reminder that even if all of this stuff about the Uighur genocide ends up being false, that still doesn't make tankies right for denying it" because you gotta take a step back and recognize how powerful you are when your enemies have to plan around you inevitably being correct.

  • I'll go against the grain and say that there's not really a good reason for China to still use the death penalty. The arguments for rehabilitation and against punitive justice hold true in China, too. But when you compare it to what you see in the majority of criminal justice systems in the Western world, which is rampant brutality and exploitation of the workers and a free-for-all for the rich, China understandably looks much more appealing. I think eventually China should reform their punitive justice in favor of rehabilitation, but it's not my place as a westerner to set the schedule for that or make demands.
