It costs over $1 million because the existing owners aren't selling, because they don't have better properties to buy instead. Provide those and the existing properties go on the market, and once there are more of them on the market they can no longer command a million dollars.
I used your blocker last week, changing the system clock time (from time and date preferences) made your app useless (doesn't block anymore), so went back to editing /etc/hosts again. If circumventing the block is easier than editing a hosts file I don't see the point.

For many, I don't think changing the clock time is an uncommon thing to think about if the desire to procrastinate arises again.
I wish they would have a cheaper plan for non-original content only.
Just as importantly, science is always open to revision. You have to be careful how you use science in informing your morals for that reason.

If in ten years, this research into animal sexuality was show to be falsified, misinterpreted, or just not representative of a wide range of nature, would you then decide human homosexuality is morally wrong?

That's the real risk of taking something which should be more of a moral axiom and claiming it derives from science and nature; you risk having it overturned in the future.
If Airpods were a naturally occurring resource, you'd have a point. As it happens though, there's a huge supply chain behind producing Airpods, involving mining rare earth elements for the batteries and silicon, and shipping these components around the world both for production and delivery.

> They knew about this for months. But President Obama opted to not call Russia out on it publicly or inform the American people. In fact, his administration didn’t even draw public attention to this until October, just weeks before the election.

Except the reporting was clear about the source since June. The President wanted to publicize it earlier to but McConell refused to sign a bipartisan condemnation. Even then the intelligence community was unequivocal.

Studded tires aren't all that bad. Mine go on in December, and just came off last week. My normally 20 minute commute takes about 30 minutes during the winter, and I suspect it's not just the tires, but also the cold air and heavy clothing. I also spend a few more minutes gearing up before leaving the house.

No, it's still obvious fail-deadly insanity. Having to say that the pilots would need to quickly notice issue is even worse (have you seen how you disable the system? It's not a button that you push).

The point of the plane variant was to not perform any additional training, too.

Anyone saying that to the engineers should be considered a criminal. There is probably a whole incentive structure that lead to this and that should be upended completely.

In English at least, I don't think hyphenation is ever really going to take off on the web, because most body text on the web is in a wide column and left-justified, since screens are wider rather than taller (unlike books and newspapers).

Hyphenation is by far most valuable in narrow columns and particularly columns that are justified, because it allows for far more even spacing between words/letters.

(I wonder, for example, if the NYT would ever adopt hyphenation in the narrow article blurbs on its home page, which are in narrow columns in a grid, although not justified.)

Still, it's a pretty cool tool to have for the occasions when you do want it. (And the author mentions how valuable it is in German, so other languages may need it more.)
A "more right" solution would have been to implement a "stick pusher" system to make it obvious to the pilot what was going on. But that would have required pilot training and punctured the illusion that the plane can be flown by any pilot who has flown any 737 made since the 1960's
> People like sex. They don't accept public obscenity usually due to common sense objective realities, i.e. children being present.

I accept this element of culture unconditionally and don't feel any interest in violating it so I am not going to expose children (mine or other) to sexual scenes ever.

However, although there may happen to be some (so why risk), I really fail to see reason behind it. Why is it considered bad for children to see people having sex? Especially when it's about non-violent "classic" sex between "normal" people loving each other and treating each other tenderly and not any kind of hardcore BDSM porn. I understand some particular kinds of sexual practices can seem weird and even shock some people yet what makes "vanilla" sex obscene and potentially harmful for a person (a kid or whoever) psyche is beyond my comprehension.

> I don't feel an urge to present my sexual preference to the whole world all the time and demanding the public to accept it. Or even having it recognized as part of my "identity". Sex is sex, happens in bed with my wife and is between us.

I support this point, yet...

... I was going to copy-paste-quote the next part but the message got flagged. The next was the question why seek others to be aware of your sexual preferences and accept them. I believe the answer is so they won't get "shocked" once they find out accidentally and nobody will be able to blackmail you. The the current state of culture makes it matter. Once everybody accepts everything is normal exposing your sexual preferences proactively will become irrelevant.

If you build enough "luxury housing" it will become very cheap.

Anyone who buys property now subsidizes (through higher property taxes) EVERYONE who bought properties in the past. Some of those previous owners might be teachers or retired couples. But many other are movie stars and tech millionaires or billionaires.

New home owners in California are subsidizing everyone else who bought property in the past. It creates a disincentive to sell as people want to be locked in to below market rates. It might help some people that we hope to help, but it also helps lots of people who should be paying their fair share that they're instead pushing off to new home buyers.

My wife and I are liberal, but I have been complaining to her for a half a year that it seemed like the news media was making a lot of opinionated or unsubstantiated statements as if they were 100% true (infinitely true!).

I think you know what I mean, when a news hour host makes statements in a tone of voice that implies there is no doubt about something.

For me, the main theme of this article was “None of this has been walked back.” - very few news outlets have admitted really sloppy reporting.

And, this all unfortunately plays into Trumps hands and increases his odds of winning in 2020.
It's a little worse than jumping in prematurely.

The article is trying to persuade us the press discredits itself when it correctly reports 37 indictments, several convictions, Russian meetings with Don jr. and a mind-boggling array of lies. It criticizes an accurately researched nyt list of Trump associates connected with Russians implying it has been refuted by the Mueller report which the author has not even seen.

Consider what the author is suggesting: these things should not be reported.

It intentionally blurs opinion pieces with factual reporting, and even then heavily paraphrases. It attributes words of others to papers that did not publish them. It implies someone's votive candles somehow reflects on the press.

All hinged on the the fact that there are no recommended indictments (beyond the dozens already being pursued). Additional indictments that would have to be for the theoretically unindictable offense of collusion.

It's not attempting to examine press malfeasance, it's attempting to discredit establish facts by vaguely lumping these unrelated things together. Mixed along with what is not explicitly stated in the unread Mueller report. And to do so preemptively to fix opinion about a report before it's even available publicly.

This article is neither reporting nor analysis, although it pretends to be. It is indistinguishable from countless others that appear in Turkey, Venezuela, Hungary and other nations in a similar state. The names are different and the language is English and that's all.

It is another attempt to de-legitimize the press using exactly the same techniques in every other nascent autocracy: blur one persons words with another, blur opinion pieces with reporting and wildly paraphrase them. Blend irrelevant errors over unconnected annoying fact. Do all this preemptively.
I think the issue is that Boeing didn't see a potential MCAS failure as really any different from any other cause of runaway trim, for which there was well-established procedure and training. Clearly at least not all pilots seem to recognize this in time, particularly with other distractions caused by a faulty AoA reading, such as stick shaker, other warnings and alarms, and all of that happening at low altitude.
K-cups are absolutely awful for the environment – I'd argue much much worse than Airpods/consumer electronics. Keurig's entire business is built off of throwing plastic away. They even take measures [1] to make sure you can't re-use their pods. And it's not like throwing plastic away is a "necessary evil" of making coffee - no other mainstream method (drip, aeropress, pourover, moka pot, french press) produces waste that isn't compostable.

One point for clarification: It's 1% at the state level, however, depending on which county you live in there's plenty of other local taxes (School districts etc.) that end up nudging it to ~1.8% (SF and Oakland). Add "Special Assessments" which aren't %-based and it's even more. So "1%" is a bit misleading.

Unincorporated areas end up being a little less at around 1.3%, in the Bay Area at least.

Add state income tax + sales tax (9.75% where I am!) and California is a hilariously expensive state to live in.
I wouldn’t expect any different. People are under the impression that the CCP isn’t the CCP anymore just because they allow government supervised private enterprise via Capitalism eith Chinese Characteristics, as they put it.

True for the first crash. However, no longer true by the time of the second crash.
Increased housing in high cost locations DOES NOT decrease prices. This is a complete fallacy. The problem is that the supply is limited and it solidifies comps and makes people more sure that high prices are legitimate.

Look at Bay Meadows in San Mateo. An entire community has been built in the last few years. There are a ton of condos, townhouses and single family homes built in quite frankly a well thought out community.

Townhouses are over $1.5M and SFH, which are yards away from the Caltrain are over $2M.

This is entirely new supply and their prices are higher than existing houses. The prices in the area didn’t go down, they went up because this legitimizes the high prices and solidifies them.

The only way you get lower house prices is by killing demand like during the housing bust, not by increasing supply because supply doesn’t happen at the scale that is required to decrease prices.

This comment falls into the pattern the pattern I've been seeing: people who like technology but don't care about games (including Sundar Pichai himself) are enamored with Stadia. People who actually care about games are very concerned about what it'll do to the industry. It's not (mainly) the technology that's in doubt; Google is great at technology. The fear is in the way it'll change the status quo between people who play games and companies that make them.
> If housing of any type is built, then housing will not be scarce. If no housing of any type is built, then housing will be scarce. Worrying about the type seems like misguided micromanaging.

TFA is devoted entirely to debunking this idea and explaining in detail why worrying about the type of housing is very important. IMO it did a pretty solid job. If you have an actual counter-argument, let's hear it, but don't just assert it.
I wouldn’t call if misleading, but certainly it’s one of those topics with double meanings. It could be phrased less equivocally, I agree, but at the same time it’s not misleading.

I have yet to see the video, don't really intend to as I've seen enough other material, but for you to say "Nobody needs to see that" is to deny people an education about a grotesque part of human nature. Denying that education leads to denial of the nature itself. Nothing good comes from denying that reality.
That's an interesting point. For example, whenever people talk about increasing road building to alleviate traffic these days on places like Reddit, they are immediately lectured to about how more roads just cause induced demand and they don't actually cause traffic to go down.

For highly desirable cities I have to wonder if the same thing is true for housing. I mean, it feels like even if you doubled the amount of housing in SF that you would just cause more people to want to congregate in SF while 3rd tier cities and rural areas would empty out even faster.

Texas is in some ways the egalitarian sort of place California pretends to be. I was talking to a cab driver in Austin who had immigrated from Morocco. He and his friends bought houses in the suburbs with pools in good school districts, which they were able to pay off in 15 years with a cab drivers’ salary. What really strikes me visiting there compared to the coastal cities is relative prosperity among ordinary people, especially the kind of people (immigrants, etc.) that people in the coastal cities like to talk a lot about. Texas also does a better job educating students from disadvantaged groups than California, despite spending less money on education: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2015/06/30/which-of.... For math and science, Texas has some of the highest NAEP scores in the country for black and Hispanic students, while California has some of the worst.
I agree with you. At least PBS news seems to honestly attempt to be impartial. Just my opinion but PBS is just on a higher level of honesty and fairness than MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, etc.
A RAID array full of unlabelled .MP4s of borderline-unwatchable VHS transfers isn't much use to anyone. Good VCRs and timebase correctors aren't cheap; keeping those VCRs running well is a major challenge due to age and the lack of spare parts. Getting a good transfer from an old tape is a lot more complicated than just pressing record. Anyone who works with video will tell you that metadata is both essential and enormously time-consuming.

There's a world of difference between getting some sort of video off the tape and producing a useful archive.

What about mobile web
>Are they?

Yes, they can be.. providing you are comparing apples with apples. According to [0].

But that is not really satisfying without numbers is it?

So lets take the first example linked in your reddit post. The Potsdamer Palace. It is the most interesting example as they went to some effort [1] to reconstruct the facade as closely to the original design as possible, including the brickwork skin and hand finished stonework. Of course internally it is all concrete and steel, but you would never know that from looking at it.

Built for €120m [2], 35,000sqm GFA, 19,000sqm utilities (a wopping 35%) and only 390 offices. About €2500/sqm for the construction price, but at about €200,000 per office. A standard low rise office in germany seems to be close to the €1500/sqm range. But you would expect more like 20-25% utilities floor area and lets say 1 person/10sqm (ie. open plan office seat) for occupation. So for the same size office built with standard construction techniques, this floor area would be about €70m including utilities, but only €15,000 per office. (if you calculate out the €200k /office of the example with the 3500 offices of the standard office, that is a €1,076m price, ie. at least an order of magnitude).

Ok, so we are not talking about a typical office building here. It is also very significant that the examples chosen were all institutional, rather than commercial ie.the symbol was more important than the return. The point is that the original construction techniques required significant additional human labour, additional area for structure, but also light, servicing, and ventilation, and additional costly materials. All with a reduced usable internal floor area.

But sure, just stick something on the façade and call it a day right? But, if you already have a working façade system which gives you more saleable floor area, as a developer, you would sack the architect that proposes something else. So yeah, we have some power over the façade, but not that much.

So I guess the resistance to 'traditional' is mostly in the ''s. But also in that contemporary architects often care about process and user experience over formal traditions.

The other funny thing about this argument, is that the very same objections were held towards modern architecture in the time of the original construction of the Potsdamer. It was broadly in the style of the late Roccoco (in particular, a Prussian variant), which the Neo-classicists thought was ugly and modern. The Neo-classicists looked back, copying the original renaissance classicists of course, who were copying the styles of the ancient Romans, who had migrated a good deal from the ancient Egyptians via the Greeks. Taste is an old argument.

My understanding is that the Chinese economy is an "artificial" Free Market economy to bridge the gap between Maoism and here-to unforseen Communist Utopia. Hegelian/classical Marxist thinking requires a society to pass through a capitalist phase in order to industrialize to the point that the populace begins demanding socialist concessions.

It was my understanding that the Post-Mao creation of free-market-like conditions in China was an admission by Communist leadership that the Hegelian model of history could not be short circuited (as Lenin and Mao attempted), and capitalist style economics was required to industrialize, but that the capitalist economics was a temporary solution.

I could be mistaken though, and I'm curious why you thought they arrived there by luck.
