Housing prices are unlikely to come down. Too many Americans have almost their entire NW locked up in the house and are very adamant on it not losing any value.

The best thing that could happen is that apartments become cheaper because no one gives a shit about those getting cheaper besides developers. Homeowners are generally SFH owners - not condo or apartment or townhouse owners.

Thus, I think the decrease in cost will only ever come for apartments, townhomes, and condos. SFH prices are here to stay.
The whole discussion is about the post war increase, peak, and then decrease in crime. It isn't cherrypicking to have a scope for a discussion. I'm well aware of the long term trend here and mentioned it elsewhere. This matters because the 1990-ish peak is on par with crime levels at the end of the 1800s since people have limited lifespans, a doubling of the homicide rate in a person's lifespan is alarming. It's worth exploring and unpacking the reasons for the increase and decline. Perhaps there are policy lessons to be learned, and moreover there was no guarantee that 1992 would be the peak.

You've simultaneously argued that there is no downward trend, it doesn't matter in the long term, it did happen but because of mass incarceration in the US, and you've just been tossing out contrarian bullshit. You're acting in bad faith, and that sucks.

As expected, lots of people unhappy. RailsConf had to cancel a talk on web3. I wonder if Stripe will face the same pressure.
I remember that feature. My uncle owned a Saab and always parked the back of the car against a wall because the gear locked in reverse and only then the key could be removed.

I was 14 or so and he allowed me to park it. I was blown away by the idea of ensuring a safety feature against thieves that was so "easy".

Asked the director of a community college automotive program which car was the most reliable: Yaris.

Looks interesting! Do you guys offer any sort of visibility tools/reports into customer usage of different endpoints, tracking of actual API requests (including payloads/etc) per request, etc? Is it possible to use you guys just for billing if we already have our own auth?
I have not given transformers enough attention... but my impression is that this is still storing entities in the weights of the neural network instead of in a database where the can be operated on with CRUD. What are the knowledge discovery researchers doing with respect to transformers? And the SAT solver researchers?

Here is an article on KDNuggets that explains transformers but doesn't answer my questions: https://www.kdnuggets.com/2021/06/essential-guide-transforme...
1. So the SFUs we're currently looking at are yours, ion-sfu (and/or galene) and mediasoup. Honestly we haven't finished looking at how they compare for rate control, but the Pion team seems very interested in ensuring they have good rate control.

2. From context I think you're talking about noise cancellation here? I assumed that some of the more exotic ML-based ones ran serverside, which obviously is incompatible with E2EE. It sounds like there are a bunch of options for running WASM-based intelligent noise cancellation clientside though, especially with MediaStreamTrackProcessor and friends. rnnoiseless as a pure Rust->WASM port of rnnoise looks fun, for instance: https://github.com/jneem/nnnoiseless

3. True, although given Google are highly motivated to make AEC work properly in WebRTC, I guess I'm hoping that they'll continue improving it, much as they have been. I certainly never want to have to write or integrate one ever again :D

Yeah he called it a special operation because "war" sounds bad and he's taunting the west. And using the word "solution" isn't always a reference to Hitler (it virtually never is)... The mental gymnastic is insane...

The US had plenty of "military operations"/"special operations" and "solutions" for Iraq and Afghanistan, they killed plenty of civilians yet they're no Nazi and the president isn't Hitler.

>I can't even picture a 4000 calorie meal

There isn't one particular ingredient, it's just large amounts of high-fat meat with large amounts of high-fat, high-carb side dishes. Say, skin-on chicken thighs with mashed potato that't full of butter and caramelized onion that's full of oil. It might be hard to "picture" because you're trying to picture a plate of food, but in the volumes I used to eat, the amount of food wouldn't fit on a single plate, even piled high on a large one.

I wouldn't recommend anyone eat this way.

Extruding a square is exactly the same as SolidWorks though?

You sketch a square on any plane, then extrude it (they call it the "pad" tool instead of "extrude" but otherwise it's identical).

I think the only thing FreeCAD users have to know, which SolidWorks users don't, is that there is a "Part Design" workbench where this SolidWorks-style workflow is located. There are also many other workbenches for other things like drafting, architecture, or CSG, and it's not immediately obvious which workbench you want to choose for the SolidWorks-style experience.
This isn't what is happening nor what will happen, so why ask?
There's a difference between supply and quantity supplied. The OG is referring to "cheeseburger production" as supply and you're reading it as quantity supplied.

Yes, a cheeseburger becomes more expensive will attract new producers and the aggregate amount of cheeseburgers sold will be higher. But the marginal cheeseburger being sold is at a higher cost to produce (otherwise it would have been produced to fulfill the original demand).

I think the supply/demand model is useful. I think when people claim "its more complicated", they are trying to get around inconvenient truths and basic axioms. You print more money out of thin air, the price of goods is going to go up since its more money chasing the same goods. Creating wealth by printing money is kind of a perpetual motion machine. You need a lot of mental gymnastics to deny the fact that printing money doesn't cause prices to go up. Everyone knows this. Keynes knew this, as did Lenin. Keynes wrote the following:

> Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. … Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.

Doesn't sound like you even interacted with a human being but a badly written bot.
I didn't know there was a new transponder until just this moment.
Easily - a mad dictator makes it their symbol of propaganda that represents murder and destruction.

They would ban the whole team because it seems like Russians just try to make shit up everywhere they go - especially those in privileged positions, such as career sportspeople.
1) Before eating a snack in the evening, ask yourself "Am I tired, thirsty or hungry?"

If you are tired, go to bed.

If you are thirsty, drink some water.

If you are hungry, eat a small amount (20g) of lean meat, cheese or nuts and leave the kitchen immediately.

2) Gradually cut all sweet food and drink from your diet. This will re-adjust your taste buds for a healthier diet, and you won't even notice.
>researchers say it occurred 58 million years ago

Only by a bit.
If you have a transponder, you wouldn't necessarily even know that you were being charged for 2 occupants when you had 3+. You'd have to look at your detailed bill (who does that?) and remember how many occupants you had on which trips. Most people would probably just be overcharged until they realized that they need to get the transponder with toggle.

I'm questioning their opinion, as we do on this site.
Apocryphal and dubious. Likely a myth to prop up the collective confidence in being breeding stock.
Very bullish for you to think TSLA is going to be a $3T company in the near future! I'm sure it will happen at some point. Maybe it will due to inflation hah.

But on average the market takes very roughly 7 years (probably more) to double your money. So you are talking about a ~10 year time frame.

I think, in fairness, most people only watch easily accessible TV, which tells them a very different story. Also TV interviews, in state-controlled media, are kind of meaningless.

I can well imagine it's true, just not that you can tell by looking at TV interviews.
Being tied to specific paper sizes is one of the biggest limitations of PDF. I run into this a lot when people try to distribute documents as PDF. There are a lot of assumptions built in when a PDF is generated.

I am not related to them in any way but I would recommend you to use privacy.com to control charges against your cards for situations like this. Capitol One has a service called 'Eno' and Citi has 'virtual account numbers' if you have either of those services they can also help you control charges in a much more granular way than using a regular credit card. Hope this comment helps someone like these services help me.
Try to use a firewall outside the server if possible. You can easily mess up the firewall configuration on Linux. Or your users can.

For example Docker will ignore the firewall by default when you expose ports.
I'm pretty sure that a multidimensional array was the original implementation of tensors and the more fancy linear forms formalism came later in the twentieth century. Then the question was how do these multidimensional arrays operate on vectors and how do they transport around a manifold. (Source: first book I read on general relativity in the 1970s had a lot of pages about multidimensional arrays and also this good summary of the history: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2030558/what-is-the...

(Sort of like how vectors kind of got going via a list of numbers and then they found the right axioms for vector spaces and then linear algebra shifted from a lot of computation to a sort of spare and elegant set of theorems on linearity).
There is a lot of research pointing to the opposite of what is claimed in this article. See what the Nederlands, other European cities have been doing.
Weird. Maybe I got unlucky with some experiment rollout. My top links are Drudge Retort (some stupid parody), the link to the Drudge app on iPhone, and the dictionary definition for "drudge". Nowhere on the page is there an actual link to the site for me.
I wouldn't recommend this. If you do use lead soldering, make sure you don't breathe in any fumes.
Yes? In my experience (some spacecraft electronics stuff) this is also on the list of things where we think conformal coating/potting helps prevent tin whiskers. But there are still instances where Tin whiskers have grown and pushed through conformal coating on a PCB.

FWIW, this proposal does not change the fundamental characteristics of javascript. It just adds a new comment syntax.
For those who have never heard of FBS, the "ethical concern" is that FBS is made by slaughtering pregnant cows, cutting the calf fetus from the cow, and then draining the blood from the fetus by sticking a needle in its heart. When I first read about that I was a bit shocked, even though I'm not a vegetarian and have even worked with FBS during a lab at university, blissfully unaware how they made that yellow fluid.
Because if Bitcoin specifically takes off it will force governments to balanced budgets, exposing a lot of hidden corruption. Detractors cherry-pick concerns about energy usage, but never show the energy usage of the existing system for comparison.
> it is a constitutional right

Ahem... "terrorism!"

Poof! Now your Constitutional rights no longer exist.
For my limited experience, and drawing only on memory of observation, rather than any recorded data, I'd break it down approximately as:

* 1/3rd of interviewees freeze up and wouldn't be able to add two numbers together if asked. This is, to me, is mostly indistinguishable from, "have never coded in their life and lied successfully to get this far."

* 1/3rd only partially freeze up and produce an incomplete solution and can't talk their way through what they did and why there's a missing piece

* 1/3rd are able to get through FizzBuzz but with great frustration (they're usually upset with themselves for struggling so much).

None of these failures are acceptable in an engineer with any amount of experience, even though they're not all strictly speaking about ability to work with data structures and algorithms in a vacuum.

The thing is, software development is a team sport, and you have to come ready to play. If the goal was to find the person with the absolute best ability to take a set of static requirements and turn them into functioning code by themselves, this would not be a fantastic test. That is not, however, how nearly any software job actually works.
going way off the rail (but this is a good example for some general thoughs regardings to software in society)

this illustrates two different approaches (goals? paths?) about software in society:

on the one hand: the lilypond way -- the old-school hobbyist open/free source "communist" approach, the path-being-abandonded. In which there's a learning curve but once learned it opens a world of possibilities.

on the other hand: the dorico way -- the commercialist (mercantilist), Microsoft-pionered world of private and commercial software products in which companies work to reduce the learning curve but also end up turning the afore mentioned world of possibilities into a constrained hallway or a boxed easy-to-use shelf of products (an app store) which is also difficult to customize (enter the 'contractors ecosystem' who will do it for you; or app marketplace).

The path we're being dragged into (at least I feel like I'm getting dragged, I prefer the other path but this is a collective decision, so my own individual choice is discarded in the face of the overall social choice)
I've never had an unsafe car persay, but when working with a small budget you'll end up with a high-mileage 2010 Toyota Corolla. (Turo says "Cars that have more than 130,000 mi/200,000 km may remain listed as long as they’re in excellent condition") [1]

What I've noticed on Turo is now there's a large mix of 'big' players: Unregulated car rental biz that have 10+ beaters of Echos/Sparks/Minis/Focus, or, a buy-here/pay-here used car dealership that's renting out everything on the lot.

Hahaha, this is the best thing I've read all day. That's fantastic. I knew there would be a way for rich people to get around it. (Like when my friend got around COVID restrictions travelling to Mexico by just taking his dad's plane [since lots of the restrictions applied only to passenger jets due to transmission risk].)
Keynes on Inflation
By the complete lack of response from the Google representative above, one may infer that he works in exactly this relevant part of ads, and has nothing to say in his defense.
>And why would former Soviet Republic want to be in NATO? Most of them say it's because they're afraid of Russian invasion.

So you have a big countries that, for various reasons (WWII and Cold War, for one) fear about its security. They said repeatedly that they'll act if the US continues to expand NATO further onto Russia's borders. Russia intervenes so countries close to Russia fear they might be invade.

I fully understand the legitimate fear of these countries but why NATO wants to continue to expand when the US/EU knows perfectly that this only makes Russia more aggressive. We (the West) knew that Russia would act (military if need be https://twitter.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1498491107902062592 but because we refuses to tell Ukraine that NATO is full, we have Russia invading Ukraine and we refuse to defend them military. How is this positive for Ukrainians? They won't join NATO (because the West doesn't want to go to war with Russia directly) but they'll be ruined by a tragic war. Only China is winning here.

If inflation occurred constantly and smoothly, I would assume the relative prices stay in sync.

If you see crazy swings that have occurred during the pandemic - real estate crashing in central business districts while going up for industrial areas [0] - that has nothing to do with government money printing and everything to do with pandemic restrictions.

I drove an older (2000) Jeep Wrangler for much this reason. It came from the factory with no A/C and a bottom-tier AM/FM radio. The seat slides front to back and reclines - manually - but that’s about it. It has a heater, but didn’t work when I bought it in ~2010 and I’ve never bothered to fix it; I almost never used the rear windows when I had them, and I’ve since replaced the vinyl top with a much simpler one that doesn’t even have provision for them, so why bother?

It’s has a manual transmission and an inline 4-cylinder with very low output compared to most vehicles. Paradoxically, that combination makes it fun to drive.

It also holds its value very well. I’ve owned it for twelve of the 23 years of its life so far, and I could sell it today for more than I paid for it. At the same time, it’s extremely cheap to fix, because the design hasn’t changed often over the years and the powertrain is shared between many popular vehicles of its time.

My wife’s vehicle has far more “creature comforts”. She drives a 2015 Kia Sorento that we bought new. We’re considering upgrading hers to a new Kia Telluride in the near future, especially considering recent trends in used car prices.

There’s definitely still a place out there for mechanically simple vehicles. It’s a shame that the new Jeep Wranglers - say, the JK and newer - have gotten so much larger, more complex, and expensive to maintain.

If I had my druthers, I’d be driving something like a modern Kubelwagen, VW Thing, or perhaps something with a bit more cargo space like a Pinzgauer. It’s a shame no one seems interested in making them.
I guess this did not age well:

Someone on HN recently claimed that Russian political conversations on TV were much more sophisticated than in democratic countries, because in democratic countries you had to appeal to the man in the street. But I guess that's only true as long as you're saying what the dictator wants to hear, and if he wants to hear something idiotic and false, I guess that's what you talk about.
The new Flex transponder (with 1,2,3 switch) does beep for me when passing a bridge toll port (84, 92 etc), not on the highway 101 lane.
And in periods when investment returns are especially low, it can be better to invest some of that money in yourself, to improve future prospects. Anything from taking classes to going to conventions to paying down debt.
>The signs don't say that you need a new transponder to get the discount anywhere.

That's a feature, not a bug.
Yes but given almost no one on the peninsula ever needed it. They’re a new requirement and many of us who had them are now having to order the new ones to accommodate these damn toll lanes.

I hate the toll lanes with a passion. You get charged even when there is 0 traffic. It should be free unless there’s traffic! (Or just not have a toll lane to begin with and stop punishing the poor over and over!)
Oh they won't

Not to mention Russian gas is 30% of EU gas (on average), so it would be a crunch but not a cut-off

Unless they would like the Ruble going even lower.
It's unfortunate, but what would be a good alternative?
So crypto qualifies.
