The point is that you have more purchasing power with lower income rates. In this example you can buy a house worth 25% more.

Pretty much all home buying decisions are normalized on a 30 year fixed mortgage. When figuring out what you can spend its easier to figure out what you can afford per month ans extrapolate your purchase price from there.

For that matter most car buying decisions are done the same way based on a five year loan (maybe seven these days).
The duration of the loan doesn't change based on the interest rate.

In both of OP's examples the hypothetical borrower pays the same amount per month, for the same number of months. A lower interest rate does not affect the duration of the loan. In neither case can the bank simply extend the duration of your loan.

My introduction to Dillo was via Damn Small Linux. It's a shame that project died, I actually have a copy of the book.

I wonder if anyone has tried to add optional javascript support to Dillo or something with Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS engine (full JS coverage in like 210 KiB of x86 code).
The pile of high quality regression testing Google search has is miles above any other product I have worked on; but the number of possibly generated search result pages and the number of supported browsers conspire to make the pile of possible breakages even higher.

Even so, I felt better about removing code in that JavaScript codebase than just about any other I have contributed to, and frequently did. (My total line count in JavaScript was negative for a while).

The problem was much less about the difficulty of it and more that it wasn't difficult or high enough impact for the amount of time you needed to spend to detect these cases and prove their safety. The low hanging fruit of stuff that already passed all the regression tests was often already scooped up and the piles of cruft all had one edge case with some test or were hard to trigger and confirm manually that it was fixed.
As far as I know, youtube has always been pretty close to the top for free video streaming quality. Sites like facebook and such compress the video far more than youtube ever has.

So yeah they were not the best video possible to create but they were the best for the internet at the time and still are. You can upload 8k HDR 60fps videos which are sized at multiple GB right now.

Once youtube has it, people are not going to tolerate 720p video from an alternative.
Because the alternative is usually renting, where the monthly expense is similar, but there is no principal down or asset appreciation.

LinkedIn shows the author went to high school in New York. Are you sure they are Canadian?

I have heard the TN visa for Canadians allows you to substitute something like 3 years of work experience for 1 year equivalency of a college education.
I'd say the co2 emissions example you quote makes more sense. That's simply "you're asking me sacrifice X in exchange for a benefit Y where Y is very small [because my country emissions are less than 1/30 of China's]".

Co2 emissions are also global and influence some areas of the world more than others; a nuclear fallout would hit primarily France, even though neighbours would be affected as well.
WOW! Excellent perspective. And I've never heard the term "citizen programmer" before.

You're right. "I did it myself" and "I understand how it works" are definitely undervalued. And that plays into a lot of the empowerment/disempowerment conversation.

I had a client who would have me build prototypes in Excel, then he'd hand them over to his in-house development team. I asked him why he uses me in the middle. He explained that he can guide me and kinda understand what I'm doing, and we can test and tweak formulas really easily. He can stop me and ask questions if I start doing something that seems wrong.

Then he said, "but, when my devs open that code editor, I don't know what the hell I'm looking at."

That was a different kind of disempowerment that he felt vis-a-vis his own devs.
You might also not like your neighbours in an expensive gated community.

Vandalism?
I lived and worked remotely from a van in Australia for a year... in 2008. It was pretty different back then. We kitted the van out with a solar panel and batteries. There was some 3G service available near roads, and something like CDMA a little more widely. But at times we'd end up driving miles of dirt track to try to find high ground to pick up a signal. My gf would hold the 3G receiver up and look for signal. During one of these treks, trying to turn around on a narrow dirt track way outside of Tenant Creek, the side of the road collapsed like a sand dome under one wheel of the van and we began listing to the side. I had to hold it up with my shoulder so the whole van wouldn't fall over on its side. My gf got out, causing it to tip even more, and started throwing herself against the back of it, while I tried to rock it out of the ditch. It was at this point that I noticed that what I had thought was a tree branch (odd, since there were no trees around), was actually a 4-5 foot long black snake that was moving rather quickly toward us up the road. I guess that gave us the adrenaline burst we needed, because we miraculously heaved the van free and jumped inside just in time. I started it and unceremoniously drove right over the snake.

Another funny story... One night camping off a road, not in a campsite, we heard a ruckus outside the van where we had our table and cooking stuff set up under a tarp. It was pitch black out. We kept a katana under the platform bed for protection. So I opened the rear door and jumped out in my boxers and sandals, holding this sword, and found myself looking at a large kangaroo that was rifling through our cookware. I got back in the van and said, forget it, I'm not fighting that thing... we'll just have to clean it up in the morning.
Do you mean the other way around?

Right on, I appreciate it. I can't believe even HH was arguing for this stuff and NASA was just like 'eh'.

I don't like Elon, his methods, or his companies, but I am grateful for the progress his engineers have wrought!

Also have you seen the launches in person? Here we have some that look like glowing floating balls of plasma. When SpaceX was first doing tests everyone was outside thinking it was aliens or a bomb, it was that far outside anything people had ever seen before.

I've found its easier to mentally separate them. Calorie restriction for weight loss, and cardio strictly for ... cardiovascular health.

Doing cardio for weight loss is fighting against whatever you are doing in the kitchen. It doesn't make much sense, unless you have the time and stamina to do it for the required duration and intensity (for me, weight loss happens only with an hour a day lap swimming non-stop).
Solus.

Best "works out of the box" desktop Linux experience I've had; which made me stick with it. I recommend the Budgie edition for a clean desktop environment that stays out of your way and doesn't confuse you with a billion configuration options. The packaging process is also quite easy in my opinion. In case you want to add some software that isn't yet available in the repository; either for everyone or just for your own use.

As a possible pain point starting out I've heard the installer can be a bit finicky (I myself had no problems with it though).

Windows updates that actually break things are exceptionally rare these days, and rolling them back is usually pretty easy. All my Windows environments live on the slow ring and I've not once encountered a problem caused by a bad update.

Conversely, I've had Manjaro updates break my GRUB config twice in the last year, which is a pretty daunting problem to fix for 99.9% of end users.

I don't expect the small team at Manjaro to do a better job of this than a trillion dollar company, I just find the reputation WU has these days puzzling. Deferring updates for extended periods of time seems to consistently cause my users far more problems than it supposedly solves.
I think tools like Omnisharp have greatly improved what and how IDEs can do for developers. It’ll tell you memory allocations, boxing, expensive operations, instance usages, dangling disposables, etc. It leads to cleaner, more performant code in my experience.

> Is there a point in creating hypotheses regarding this if none of them will be falsifiable?

Here, we would enter an ontological discussion. What does it mean to know? So to be able to answer this, first we would need to solve the nature of consciousness. Maybe there are experiments on the brain showing where we store memories, but I don't think we have a good explanation on how, and more importantly what the nature of subjective experience really is.

This could mean the best way to explore that question is subjectively, as Buddhists (and other religions, although to a lesser extent I think) have done for thousands of years, so hypothesis and falsifiability goes out the window, because those are also subjective concepts. That's a tough question.
Yeah, the last time I asked a cop that, I was told "YES, YOU ARE." "Why?" "SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR, like asking if you're being deeeetaiiiiined."

Calling it one grid is kind of misleading. There is nowhere near enough transmission if all power production in say Spain failed even if in theory there is enough excess capacity across the EU to provide power to Spain.

Limits on transmission result in individual countries generally having significantly different wholesale prices.
Generally because the point at which you stop requiring shelter is because you're dead - so forever is a good proxy.

You can do this with all your purchases though: anytime you buy anything, don't look at the sticker price - figure out the equivalent monthly cost for the expected lifetime of the item. This can have a dramatic impact on your purchasing habits.
"No True Scotsman" is usually (as in Wikipedia) defined as initially providing a very broad statement, then qualifying it narrowly when the statement is demonstrated to be false. The top-level commenter (TLC) did nothing of the sort.

The TLC didn't use "weasel wording" either, which are vague and unverifiable statements. On the contrary, the TLC was very specific, perhaps unreasonably so.
I appreciate the candid feedback. We understand that different people want to use the extension in different ways, and some want more autorun whereas others want more manual control.

In our experience, the group that favors autorun tend to be the ones that get more benefit out of our software, and therefore are more likely to be paid users as opposed to people on the free trial. Because of limited resources (and the need to make the product simple), that means we've focused on optimizing for the autorun case instead of the manual activation case.

I should note that we do have a way to use the extension just as you describe, which is to use the Clean Mode. This is manually activated using a keyboard shortcut (which is hard-coded in Firefox and manually configured in Chrome). If you turn off autorun you can invoke BeeLine (in Clean Mode) using the shortcut.

That basically implies the second option: some mathematical truths are beyond the grasp of humans. Which I suppose isn't too weird, it's entirely conceivable that for some theorems the shortest possible statement of them simply can't be understood in a lifetime, or ever.

Which to me makes more sense at least than the first option, which seems to argue that human minds cannot be mechanized because humans are capable of proving mathematical truths and machines have mathematical truths they cannot prove.
It's funny, because I had the same "what bugs?" response as the parent. After reading your list, I realized that we just use the browser very differently.

I never save images from the web on my phone. I didn't even know you could switch tabs by swiping the address bar (I always open the tab menu). I'd never noticed the "sign in to sync" issue (just checked and I do see the same behavior you see), but it's just a harmless display bug IMO, that doesn't affect functionality. I've never seen the issue where opening the tab menu scrolls to a random place. I rarely use reader mode on mobile, and haven't noticed the theme issues.

The only one I've seen from your list is where reopening a closed tab moves it to the top of the list. But I do that so infrequently that it doesn't bother me.
Raw land in most denser US urban areas is not cheap. There’s also huge incentives to build additional units. I’m Berkeley where I live it’s becoming more common to see developers buy a run down single family home and raze it and the city will allow you to build a 3 or 4 unit townhome in the space. Much of this forced by state laws, particularly if a unit or two is reserved for low income families.
Could you point to some good Lem translations? My sense is that a lot is lost because of the cultural differences, too.
A bit more complicated than that:

>> It wasn’t until the 11th century that paper arrived in Europe, with the Arab conquest of Sicily and Spain. However, paper was quickly considered an inferior-quality material compared to parchment, so much so that, in 1221, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II prohibited its use for public documents. Rice starch, in fact, was an attractive food source for insects, which meant sheets of paper did not last long.

The history of paper owes much to the paper makers of Fabriano, a small town in the Marche region of Italy, who started producing paper using linen and hemp in the 12th century. <<

Lem's criticism of much mainstream US SF at the time likewise takes the view that there's too little Science behind any of this Science Fiction. I'm not sure how much of his literary criticism is in print, "Microworlds" is the volume I read.

I like my SF very hard ("Incandescence" by Greg Egan is roughly where I'd say I'm comfortable, a plausible mechanism by which a pre-industrial civilisation might discover general relativity, that novel made me cry at the end) but even when he's being totally whimsical I really enjoyed Lem.
Well, it better keep going for another five years after that, and then another five years after that, and so on, because anyone buying a $5 million 4-bed-2-bath house for their family is only more dependent on that trend continuing than the one who paid $2 million. The price tag is only justified when there's no end in sight to the appreciation. Nobody would pay $5 million for that house if its value stops rising, let alone starts dropping.

The government can't guarantee real estate, because any 99.9% risk-free investment with 10% annual growth can be levered into a 99% risk-free investment with 100% annual growth, and that's going to absorb all available capital like a black hole. The more the government acts to reduce risk without offsetting that by reducing returns or increasing the cost of debt, the bigger that black hole will grow.

At some point, it might be worth biting the bullet and incentivizing investments into sectors of the Canadian economy that aren't housing. If workers can see housing appreciating by multiples of the median salary, and entrepreneurs clue in to the fact that they'd earn more as a real estate agent than by building a tech company, "the Canadian economy depends on housing" becomes a self-fulfilling property. A few more doublings and then there's no point bothering to do anything else like growing food and assembling cars. Then you end up with a Zimbabwe situation where, yes, your house is worth a trillion dollars and rising, but it's not... good.

But maybe if we keep pouring enough gasoline on it, we'll be able to put out this fire?

I bet any argument you could give for that statement could be equally applied to dollars.

Bitcoin is valued because it functions as an [imperfect] form of money. People value it (aka are willing to exchange their dollars for it) because it lets them transact with other people in a way that is, barring massive computational power, immutable and uncensorable, and because it was the first system to do this and therefore has the longest history of transactions. There are plenty of valid criticisms of bitcoin, but it would be idiotic to deny that a currency which functions in this way would be valueless or not in demand. Some people are certainly fools, but nobody has to be a fool in order to explain a world in which bitcoin commands a high price.
Yes. I didn't say that the risk is incredibly high. If it were, cards would not be used. The point was that payment is not guaranteed, since chargebacks are allowed.

I have a quick question about how this works. For example according to this page it says that Atlas Shrugged has 290 recommendations. Are all of these posts about the book positive or actual recommendations? Personally if you see me posting about that book it’s likely me being skeptical about the actual breadth of its appeal (like this post) or just trashing that book in general.

For example, if I had posted “Atlas Shrugged is a bad book for children with a laughable premise that could have maybe been comedic in its terribleness if it weren’t jam-packed with literally hundreds of extra pages of masturbatory drivel. It makes the reader dumber with every sentence.” Would your NLP model count that as a recommendation? Technically I said “book for children” in it, so maybe yes?

Edit: This has now been addressed.
It feels like it's making you warm. It doesn't make much sense from calories per dollar perspective though, so not a great example of valid decision making by homeless people.
And now I'm perusing your recommendations, cheers!

The difference between an arrest and an indictment is the answer to your idea.
Could they really be economical though? There is potential for harm (including terrorism) that must be insured against, you also need to pay a premium for the land compared to solar/wind since few want to live nearby. The construction timelines are huge compared to solar/wind and you don't have the economies of scale that drive prices down.

Nuclear easily beats coal if we include the environmental costs but it's also up against solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal options which have seen huge efficiency gains in the last decade.

I usually support anti-covid measures but not enforcing masks in vax-only nightclubs.

The pandemic is never going to go away, at the same time people have to hang out and meet each other. Masks and distancing is alright for groceries and administrative stuff, but not for hanging out.

Moreover, children, old people, and immunocompromised people shouldn’t be hanging out in crowded bars and clubs anyways. So the population here is all at very low risk for developing serious symptoms and provided they’re not acting reckless in other places, spreading.

EDIT:

> No: I'm not going to sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask on, sip and put mask on, eat and put my mask on. While I'm eating and I'm drinking I'm going to keep my mask off. And yes, while we're drinking, like everyone else there, we were all having a good time and again, all vaccinated.

This policy doesn’t even make sense.
