Building a new car doesn't tend to require scrapping an old one. Every car built increases the total supply of cars. Building new luxury housing often (not always) involves tearing down existing housing, leaving the total housing supply static.
It’s not instantaneous but it does happen - go look at some of the random lower price housing in a big city - it’s often in older neighborhoods that have “fallen on hard times”.
Haha no I finished it at launch and couldn't remember the number, I knew it wasn't hundreds and looked it up. Clearly the site I checked was wrong and you're correct, it is 20. However, would you say "more often than not" a shrine is a test of strength? It's a nonsense claim.
There's often a signing bonus. If there's a 10% chance of getting the job and a $50k signing bonus is common, then your EV is $5000 per interview.

Even if there weren't, then 10% of the extra compensation vs. an easier-to-hire company with your discount horizon applied would also count as payment.
I can’t put my finger on it but that just sounds wrong to me.
Regarding it being a "somewhat left-wing echochamber" I wonder how different websites attract different communities. 4chan and tumblr weren't created to lean right or left but it happened. Is it to do with what types of conversation the UI encourages?

No, I've never compared the price of a car that old in that model. However, comparing a 30 year old car to a 30 year domicile is kind of not in the spirit of the conversation either though. Nobody expects a car to last for 30 years, and most just hope it lasts longer than the financing. Also, cars are rarely purchased as an investment, where someone's place of residence is precisely considered an investment.

I've read a while back than France24 reported this:

"British website The Telegraph is reporting that Russia is using mobile crematoriums in Ukraine in bid to hide its losses. But the accompanying video footage of a crematorium actually dates from 2013. It was posted by a Russian incinerator construction company and is not footage from the ground. The use of mobile crematoriums by Russians during the current war in Ukraine is yet to be verified. We tell you more in this edition.

This hasn't been updated for a month, still market as "unverified".

The neat thing about Ford solenoids of that era were that they were very conveniently located near the top of the firewall and can be easily triggered manually if needed with a big screwdriver across the leads. (And hope you don’t get electrocuted in the process.)

Contemporary GM solenoids were integrated into the starter motor and were a real pain to get to. Certainly not impossible to do the screwdriver trick but far less convenient with needing to crawl around on the ground and all. Being located right next to the exhaust headers also meant they were easily susceptible to heat soak problems which would cause a failure to activate - especially if you have a hot-running high performance engine. It was actually a pretty common and easy mod on those GMs to use a Ford solenoid and bypass the one on the starter motor.

I have worked with a few developers who went on to work for FAANG companies. They were OK but not the best I have worked with. They did however have an inflated opinion of their own skills. Perhaps that helps when interviewing?

TLDR: this observational study replicated the known phenomenon that (seemingly paradoxically) low cholesterol is correlated with increased risk of mortality. It's an ongoing debate whether low cholesterol is directly bad for you, or it could itself be a marker of underlying disease like cancer. The authors admit this study is unable to shed further light on that debate due to lack of data on specific cause of death.
You’re basically tilting at windmills talking to Americans about even slightly reducing their car use.

Many people simply can’t imagine a life without a car.

Many people gush about how they would love to drive less but suggest they walk anywhere or ride a bicycle and you’ll get a million excuses about why it won’t work for them.

Very few people are willing to put their money where their mouth is and choose to live a low or no-car life. Personally, I have. I grew up in the country, never learned to drive, managed with my feet and a bicycle, then rode the bus during college, and finally I moved to a city as an adult. Yes, I gave up a lot to do it, but it’s worth it to me.
Who would do the suing? The people that can barely afford the housing? Surely it's not going to be the city, as the developer is more than likely in cahoots with the people that would be doing the investigating.

Its tough to listen to a different mix when we've been enjoying the original for over 25 years. This video [1] compares them, but I'm with you with it sounding off. In Heart Shaped Box, the effect around 2m53s[2] is too jarring compared to the final mix we got.

I might be wrong, but I've always felt like Albini's aim to sound like you're in the room with the band, where the drums boom and the vocals are quieter.

FAANGs started doing tons of interviews so everyone else did too. Today I'll get a "behavioral interview" from a small company that is totally unstructured and I end up controlling the interview because the interviewer is unprepared. Whereas for a FAANG I just need to have scripted responses to a series of 30 to 50 commonly asked questions.

I'm happy that they are doing more to try to ensure they get the right candidate. It's very easy with just one or two interviews to miss a great candidate who was nervous, or miss a confident candidate who is a terrible fit.

However, these additional rounds are no guarantee you won't get a bad match. It depends on who's interviewing and what basis they're going off of, and whether the interviewee has done prep work. As per usual, it's not the process that matters, but the people doing the process.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your advice. My "pipe dream," if you will, is that someone here knows of something I haven't yet even considered and will suggest it. I'm also hoping that people have stories of when they jumped from point A and landed at point B, whatever those were. It's nice to hear those sorts of stories, and maybe I or somebody else here will read their story and it will help.
Kurt's vocals on the verses are panned left as if he's standing there. They're double-tracked on the album mix, which was a technique John Lennon used that Kurt admired. The reverb really sounds like a room. Guitars are definitely overdubbed on the final mix with the distortion cranked up, rather than sounding like one gentler guitar. I would say the bass seems not quiet but like it's "hiding" behind the guitars - it's not cutting through the mix the way it does on the album version. Seems to be a different guitar take for the solo - there's a pretty noticeable wah-wah effect on the guitar solo in Albini's mix.

Overall Albini's mix sounds much more live, which is exactly what he had in mind before he recorded with the band. The final mix is compressed, balanced, radio-friendly: it sounds more like it could fit on Nevermind than some of the other songs on In Utero.
As an aside (if the author happens to read this), I would happily subscribe to an RSS or atom feed for this site, but I don't see one.
A cinder block in the US is almost $2 - let’s assume on discount you can get it for $1.

First off, that’s cool too!!

If you want to get into it, start by putting the released version on repeat and listen to it a few times in a row. To start, focus on Kurt Cobain’s voice, specifically where it ‘sits’ in the mix. Then, switch to Steve Albini’s version.

When I hear Steve Albini’s version, Kurt Cobain’s voice is less pronounced. What do you think??

If that helps, I can point out more differences. Or, maybe you can point out some you hear?

One of the interview sessions was with an industrial designer. Seemed silly to me as a software engineer but what do I know. Leading up to the interview, they asked me to bring in a photo of something I thought had elegant design. After brian storming for not very long I decided on my skillet, and I thought it would be more fun to bring it along. When they asked for my photo, I pulled it out and plopped it on the table. After the initial WTF moment, we had a lengthy and interesting discussion about the merits of cast iron cook wear. All the subsequent interviews started with, "why is there a cast iron skillet?"

Going through TSA with a cast iron skillet in your carry-on is actually pretty fun because it's impossible for the screener not to giggle. I've also gone through airport security with a 20lb printed circuit board with about 90% copper fill, which surprisingly got less scrutiny.

Having something fun to make your interview memorable seems to go over well. I got selected for an internship because I showed up to the "interview" in a Hawaiian shirt. Apparently every other candidate showed up in a suit. We were meeting at a coffee shop on a college campus, so I just dressed for the environment.

The dirty truth is that if a candidate thinks they can perform well in a role then, most of the time, that's true. It is exceedingly rare that people apply for roles that they know they cannot deliver upon.

It's dirty because we like to believe that our technical proficiency and ability is elite and rare, but the truth is that with a little training, with a little on the ground experience, many people can do what we do.

You don't want to work somewhere where that's proven possible.

According to what numbers? E.g. https://www.statista.com/statistics/237529/price-to-income-r... shows the US as rather decent, but many European countries seem to beat it on affordability,

It's also hard to define "income" without going into all the direct and indirect subsidies and income, e.g. is it adjusted for US health car spending coming out of "income", which you'd get for "free" in universal health care countries. Ditto living in Paris and not needed a car. v.s. that being the case in the US.

This is not true at all. PNG uses the DEFLATE algorithm which is a perfectly general algorithm for compressing data, it's not just a matter of encoding pixel differences. That's the real reason it doesn't make sense to zip a PNG - the internal data in the image is literally already zipped (the zip format uses DEFLATE).

You are however correct that zstd would be a better algorithm than DEFLATE to be the basis of a modern image format - however, that sort of misses the point as well because there are modern techniques for encoding images losslessly that are much better than general data compression can achieve. JPEG-XL has a lossless mode that is "about 35% smaller than PNG" according to their website. That's almost certainly more than you would get out of switching to zstd, or even LZMA.
This exactly. So instead of having poorer people living in the apartment building next to you like you do in much of the midwest or south, you have them living in the van parked in front of your house like you do on the west coast.

> Translation symmetry - the unit is shifted along an axis one or more times. A chain shows translation symmetry.

Worth noting that in the biological context this has its own dedicated term, "segmentation".

> One theory of why you see so much symmetry in biology is that it takes less information to build something using symmetry than specifying the whole directly

People have also observed that the environment is fundamentally indifferent to which direction you're facing (especially if you're capable of turning yourself). This goes a long way toward explaining why mirror and rotational symmetry might be a good idea even if they were more difficult to specify.

There are a bazillion wifi hotspots everywhere, so noone would notice one more. Also, with no wires and not being visible from below, none would be any the wiser unless they randomly decided to connect to the open wifi hotspot.
> First, if you think cars are the problem, why is the housing crisis still persistent in NYC and Chicago?

This is a deep topic.

Homelessness is just one metric for an affordable housing crisis. I see estimates that there are ~80,000 homeless in NYC, being roughly 1% of the population. That's a lot and unacceptable but there's also a far bigger segment of the working poor and low-income.

I would argue that these people are less worse off in NYC than Chicago and certainly LA or SF simply because there is that transit system. Put another way: the homelessness situation would (IMHO) be significantly worse without that system.

For cities you need to consider a number of factors that play into this:

1. Minorities typically didn't have the option of moving to the suburbs post-WWII because they were excluded from purchasing or borrowing for homes;

2. Affordable neighbourhoods were demolished at a disproportionate rate to make way for freeways and interstates;

3. This all snowballed into the Great White Flight that lowered average incomes in cities, which diminished the tax base of those cities (among other things); and

4. When it suddenly became fashionable to live in cities again, those who had previously been abandoned there effectively were priced out or otherwise pushed out of their homes.

> Second, this is not a US-specific issue. Rent is just as bad in Europe and people just get by on much less space there

European countries have more of a social safety net. Some quick googling claims there are 10-11,000 homeless in London out of almost 9 million people, a rate roughly 1/8th that of NYC or LA.

But "Americans just want more space" is propaganda. We don't know that because it's extremely rare for Americans to have that choice due to almost all population centers only allowing single-family homes to be built. Low-density apartments, high-density apartments, row houses and multi-family dwellings are incredibly rare in the US because it's illegal to build them almost everywhere with exceptions confined to very narrow areas.

> Finally, the reason car usage exploded was because it enabled people to have cheap housing and work in the city

It enabled some people to do that, which is kind of the point.
