I don't know what you mean "rarely", because clearly a lot of housing is built and intended as rental property.

Regardless, the small landlord who buys a single family house and rents it out still puts a new house into the rental market, making it more affordable than it previously was on the purchase market. Along the way a landlord typically makes improvements and pays for maintenance, which improves the supply.

If you don't like laws then complain about the laws. The act of renting a house to someone else is not the problem.
I frankly don't care about the needle of electrification. I responded to your claim that it is substantially more expensive, which had been false in my experience. If BMW will drop this design or the price incentive will change I am not going to be buying a BEV for sure, it's going to be an ICE or hybrid from another brand. Luckily the trend seems to be opposite, the 45e replaced the horrendous 40e and had been a great success so I doubt BMW will be killing this line any time soon.

Yup. For Kingdom Hearts 1.5 they recreated the whole game from assets off the PS2 disc because they lost it all which is nuts.
Peter Wang in the recent Lex Fridman interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0-SXS6zdEQ - gave me names for concepts I'd been noticing but couldn't quite put my finger on, essentially the pitfalls and externalized costs of "homogeneous demand" that's created via ads and algorithms - driving consumerism through making economy of scale easier to reach by generating more buyers at same time, and similarly leads to ideology or group think as you mention.

A few days ago a link was posted that made it to the homepage of a doctor that quit on account of being assaulted. People were falling over each other to claim that it was a hoax and that the account was created for the purpose of deceiving people and that such a thing would never happen.

The article then got flagged. There is some serious denial going on about the impact of COVID and I really don't understand what is driving that.
You resolve part of them, but immediately generate others. Hybrid systems are the way to go.

In Spain, for example, we have a private system but it is extremely inefficient in some areas (and very good in others). Of course, you can have private insurance, but you still have to pay your social security. Curiously, the only ones who can decide which system they want are the public servants...
“Passed in 2008, a federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) made it illegal for health insurance providers in the United States to use genetic information in decisions about a person's health insurance eligibility or coverage.”

Also prevents employment discrimination based on genetics.

I think the argument is that while the total power over the full 4π is equal to the sum of the input power, the constructive/destructive interference cause there to be higher power output within some solid angle. But my understanding is that the limit are for avoiding interference from other devices, not for human safety, and that any reasonable amount of non-ionizing radiation is incredibly safe for humans. Congestion wouldn't be impacted by the beamforming, because on average any increase in intensity at one angle would be countered by a decrease at some other angle.

> It's very rare to have a gas hot water heater that requires electricity.

It's not all that rare these days in cheap condo units (heck, even SFH...) in large cities to require power vent water heaters due to simply horrible architecture imo. Chimneys may not be a thing in some buildings, and locations of utility closets seem not optimized for venting at all.

A surprising number of gas appliances are slowly requiring electricity to run. I wonder if it's even possible to buy a gas clothes dryer these days without electronic controls without going through hoops? Certainly a fraction of the market.

Modern safety standards also drive "cop out" solutions to them like electronic interlocks with stovetops. I wonder how many modern gas stoves actually function without the A/C plugged in? Think I'll actually test this with my two units tonight!
Yeah super good!!
You can play with figures all you like, but two-thirds of the average will always work out to one-third of the range when you're working with random figures like 'between 0 and 100' and you have sufficient samples

If you're not getting calls, it's your resume that is bad. That either means the format, or the content.

In addition to the other great suggestions: think about how you present your attitude during the interview process.

IME, many hiring managers want to see passion (desire to focus on the user/mission), drive (evidence you will work hard), and humility (ability to be a team player), in addion to technical skills.

Displaing corresponding negative traits can really undermine their view of you. For example, cynicism, ignorance/resistance to hot/new tech/approaches, lack of interest in learning on your own time, condescension for decisions they have made, disdain for the hiring process, etc.
Isn't "seeing clearly" a value? Point being – even if you don't like the form factor it might give you an ability that you can't have any other way.

> Such automation wouldn’t be sustainable under capitalism because the rate of profit would drop even further

Not really. Successful automation increases profits. E.g. McDonald's touchscreen menus came about because minimum wage increased, and the value of labour became less than its cost, so investment in automation was required.

What else do you think incentivises expensive, failure-prone automation attempts? It increases value and thus competitiveness in the marketplace of the automating company.

I actually think it’s probably the algorithm too - if I take one of the search items returned from a search that I know is in the index, but then search for it with slightly different terminology (or a different tense / pluralisation), the same item doesn’t come up.
If we're running out of people, then shouldn't the companies that produce less per person be the ones that die? Anything else would be sub-optimal.
No, my health insurance company doesn't care about my whole genome data. Health Insurance companies are already quite skilled at (and profitable due to) their ability to model life expectancy and health issues without genomic data, and they are legally prohibited from using this data, in my country anyway. Life insurance is different (they are allowed to incorporate much more information) but I've never been asked for anything like that.

As for the case where nothing actionable is found- it's not benign. It's absence of information, not information of absence.
> I use streets to get from point A to point B

This is an excellent point to make: Streets are for getting from A to B, and ads don't impede that.

The Internet is for getting access to information, and many of the online ad formats do impede that.
I think you're misunderstanding Vercel.

You host static, or slightly dynamic (calling APIs from the front-end) websites. Serverless functions are a bonus to use occasionally. If you're using a serverless function at 100%, you're doing something terribly wrong.

As for DDoSes, such providers are genuinely okay with waiving bills from serious mistakes or DDoSes (besides also having anti-DDoS services for "free" and transparently, so must DDoSes won't even show up on your bill).

In the near future (or arguably now depending on your purpose) you don't even need that. Assuming enough of your relative's sequences are available, the probability of you having certain genes/mutations can be narrowed down so much that having your individual genome doesn't add much.

> When you’re reading in the hypothetical yellow pages, that’s advertising.

The important fact here is in this case we asked for it. I opened the online store app. Go ahead and show me the products. That's what I came for. I wouldn't even call that advertising, to me it's just information.

Totally different from shoving those products in my face every time I try to do anything. Now I don't care about products, I don't want to see them or hear about them. But these advertisers insist on subjecting me to their ads.

X-rays are just one frequency of light. You can use any.

Also you can use electrons to get electron crystallography which is (arguably) more powerful as you can reform the original image after, it requires WAY smaller crystals, can see lighter atoms, and more.

Did any of that traffic become a paying customer?

My experience has been that reddit is great for validation. Traffic and kudos. Compliments and constructive critique. But almost no traffic from reddit resulted in people willing to sign up and pay money.

Now, admittedly, I sold my profitable side project a couple years back. Maybe the trends have changed - so I'm curious whether reddit users are now actually potential customers, or is it still just good for traffic?
Here's a dialogue my father attributes to CF Gauss

What you call "sometimes it's not just cost", actually are costs. Only it's indirect costs that are hard to measure, but these costs definitely exist and definitely have to be taken into account somehow. A large part of hidden costs in corporates is the things you are not doing to save costs because the infrastructure is not flexible enough. I think everyone will recognize this, but it's really hard to put a number on it though.
Well, if anything the past two months has taught us, is that vaccination rate in countries has zero impact on the number of cases of the next wave.
No, the effect slowly degrades. And helps a lot.

> Injuries and deaths for people who would have almost certainly not have received such from Covid.

Statistically the harm for any age group except for the very youngest (though even there things are changing) is that you benefit from the vaccin vs the risks associated with a COVID infection without anything to help your immune system from dealing with it.

> Do little if anything to stop spread.

They do quite a bit, but they're not perfect.

> That is not "well".

It's a damn sight better than nothing and compared to where we were before it probably should be 'very well' instead of just well.
This same kind of thought process--that one should strive not for "do no evil" but "can't do evil"--really applies everywhere, as it is somewhat general: amassing control over other people and their resources (money, data, whatever) is always going to be dangerous.

Maybe you are good today, but in the future you might start to be swayed by changing incentives or situations due to forces such as "absolutely power corrupts absolutely".

Or maybe you manage to always be good, but--as humans have fixed life spans--eventually retire or die or simply move on and are replaced by someone who is less good than you are.

Or maybe you are good but the power you manage to concentrate gets stolen by someone (in the digital world, maybe you get hacked) and used without your permission to do bad things.

Or maybe you want to be good, but your power is seen as an asset for something external--such as a government--and you end up being required to do bad things that make you sad.

We see all of these issues play out constantly with large tech companies, with control techniques such as curated application markets getting abused as anti-competitive measures, or getting regulated by authoritarian governments as a tool for their regime.

In 2017, I gave a talk at Mozilla Privacy Lab that looked at many of these issues, citing tons of situations--every slide is a screenshot of a news source, as somehow people always want to believe these situations are far-fetched--where having control has gone badly:

One could say each basket is worth aleph null points and therefore there are infinitely many points. But it wouldn’t be meaningful without precision. The Fed tomorrow could revalue the currency and make everyone millionaires but it wouldn’t be meaningful because the amount of money a person has is just a number. It’s the relative difference in amounts that’s meaningful. There is an upper bound to the amount of wealth a person can have. One can’t have more wealth than a fixed multiple of the energy of the observable universe.

In practical terms if too much money is printed then the currency quickly loses value. We can’t just print any number of dollars. At a given time there is a number beyond which the currency has no meaning, Your initial assumption about the economy is just plain wrong.

Well there is labor shortage for the exact same reason - if paying workers fairly means it is not worth hiring them then there is no business, hence no demand for workers.

Labor shortage just means that the market is not in equilibrium where for all the conditions labor is asked for there is an offer available on the market. It goes both ways.

I grew up in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. Right in the middle of the bare Canadian prairie and near Winnipeg, commonly called "Winterpeg". In my teenage years and during university (late 2000s, early 2010s) I could look forward to returning over Christmas and going for a skate at the outdoor skating oval or going cross-country skiing at some trails in the Brandon hills. Not so for the couple years prior to covid. I haven't returned during the pandemic but it also wouldn't have been possible to do winter outdoor sports if I had. Christmas is considered "early season" now I guess.
