Does our radioactivity play a factor in human life expectancy (I obviously don't mean in lethal or higher-than-average doses)? For example, does being around the normal amount of human radioactivity improve our health or is it a detriment? Or is it a nonfactor?
Vectors by themselves don't make linked lists irrelevant, but they remove 90% of the use cases, and most of the remaining ones would be better served by a hashtable, or some sort of fancy tree. Linked lists (especially as C programmers typically implement them) are absolutely awful for performance.

It's not that houses are overvalued. Its that your money lost value...
No, that's the opposite of how it works, and that's what I'm saying in my comment.

The original owner doesn't lose valid title just because it was stolen, and two people can't hold valid title at the same time (unless shared obviously, but you can't have two 100% owners). The second purchaser's title would not be valid, even if they initially thought it was at the time of purchase.

It doesn't matter that you didn't know it was stolen - it's still not yours, it belongs to the person it was stolen from. It's your job to get your money back from the last person, and their job to get their money back from the previous person - all the way back to the thief.

If it's not possible to recover the money from the thief - wow, sucks to be you. You have a claim against the thief, but that doesn't matter if they don't have any money. You can garnish their wages from their McJob when they get out of prison.
The parent is probably referring to the Gallup poll in February which found a significant uptick in Americans who identify as LGBT+.

Gallup doesn't make any bones about it, the bulk of the uptick was in Gen Z women identifying as bisexual. They also didn't hesitate to observe that the bulk of bisexual-identifying people eventually settle into a heterosexual relationship.

So in point of fact we haven't had a 10x increase in homosexuality, we have had a surge in young women who are statistically likely to settle into hetero relationships declaring themselves as bi.

In my opinion it helps nobody to muddle or politicize the statistics. For me it's hard to not draw the conclusion that heterosexual young people want to be allies and are declaring themselves as bisexual and perhaps experimenting a bit as a show of support. Seems more likely than the idea that a full fifth of the human population that has been sexually oppressed since the dawn of history, but it's open to interpretation I suppose.

> This differs from a service like the USPS or Amtrak that address a market failure.

I think you may not understand the underlying economic forces.

Patents are explicitly addressing an existing market failure (that of suboptimal funding of innovation due to free rider disincentives). The mechanism is a grant by government fiat of an exclusive right for a limited time, enforced by the courts, and these grants (and the products covered by them) then become subject to ordinary market forces.

I don't know what you mean by "yeah Alabama is correct." SCOTUS haven't banned abortion, just delegated^ the decision. How ignorant of US politics and law are you? Also my position isn't an extreme one and when you act like it is you push "normal" people towards extremes. It's getting bad and you've got to stop if you truly value the things you say you do.

^"Delegation" isn't really the right word since all of the Federal Government's power is delegated from the states to begin with. The point is that SCOTUS has (rightly) pointed out that regulating abortion is not among the powers delegated to the Federal Government. I feel like that bit of nuance might be lost on many of the people I'm arguing with here though.

Theoretically, the market going up or down shouldn't make any difference at all to most owner-occupiers.

If they hold onto the house, short-term fluctuations don't affect the eventual sale price. If they buy a new property in a similar market after selling the old one, then the "losses" on the old house are made up for by the "savings" on the new property.

It's only people who downsize or leave the property market altogether that would be affected by a short-term dip.

(The caveat being, of course, that this completely handwaves away human psychology! Being "underwater" on the mortgage would definitely make a lot of people stressed and anxious.)

That's the theory anyway.

Sorry this is just another dumb me trying to see what solution could be.

Maybe 3rd world countries could start opening up their citizenship/PRs for US/Western Europe/Canada/Japan/Korea/1st world citizens. i.e, Give up your origin citizenship, say US, for Indonesia for example (because Indonesia doesn't allow dual citizenship), and gain these benefits for you:

- Extremely cheap cost of living

- You can own a house and a yard as big as you want, with nice cars, and maids, drivers, gardeners

- You can send your kids to international school that are cheaper than your private school, and also of better quality education wise than your local public school

Meanwhile, Indonesia will gain:

- The new citizens/PRs can help create opportunities/businesses in Indonesia and employ locals

- The new citizens/PRs will spend their money in Indonesia, buying local goods and services

For example, a nice area in Serpong (just a bit south of Jakarta, cluster-style 2 story houses, 3 bedrooms, will cost you around $150.000. Complete with security guards.

I'm sure there are other countries that are ok too, like Thailand, Vietnam, Philiphines.
Good, and concise write up. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree.
The crux of MMT is the idea that spending creates money and taxing destroys money, so deficits are made up and only inflation matters. Doesn’t seem like a “so much for” moment for MMT, which also predicts this if there’s too much money in the economy. The real question is whether there’s political appetite for the MMT-prescribed treatment here, which is to significantly raise taxes. I’m guessing no.
Most of the 1-10M+ homes in NYC, SF, etc. were built 100+ years ago. I know a number of people who live in perfectly nice homes built in the 1700s in rural areas that have consistently kept their values. Homes don’t depreciate and need demolition “within a few decades” if you just keep up with basic maintenance. If you don’t believe my anecdotal evidence, you can do a basic Zillow search and filter by price over 1M and built before 1980 and see how many results you get all over the country.

I wish this were true legally - my property tax bill on my 40 year old house would be 0, but sadly it increases every year as my home value appreciates.
In the US, you pay about 6.5-7%. You pay 5.5 to 6% to the two agents (buyer and seller agents) and about 1% in closing costs (title insurance, etc).

It has always seemed wildly inefficient to me. Especially the “buyer agent” who gets a couple percent entirely for escorting the buyer through homes and submitting an offer.
What you describe in your last sentence is one of the reasons I went with Kaiser. Yes, there are still co-pays for most treatments and prescriptions, but they have in my experience never been more than $20. This includes an elective procedure. It seems to share some aspects of the Canadian system you described, such as longer wait times for non-essential care, and a relative lack of choice in which doctor you see. But to me that is an acceptable trade-off for care where no single visit has cost me more than I would have spent on lunch that same day, and has been consistently of high quality.

The problem would not be that it is commonly used, the problem would be that it is abused. And I don't see that happening currently.

The assertion that "If a library panics on user data, that's a pretty serious bug" remains true.

If a library is panicking on invalid user data, it is because they are abusing panic, which is a serious bug. Or they just didn't realize that their code could panic, which is also a serious bug.
surely at this point the problem runs deeper than just a single DA, and it's safe to assume that the entire government apparatus as a whole is rotten with corruption? you really think that just replacing one single public servant is going to cause any kind of dramatic shift for things over there?

Oh for sure. Though manual memory management does mean giving up a _lot_ of the standard library, and ARC is a brilliant in between.

Though you're 100% correct, its flexibility is what makes it so great in my experience.

Honestly one of the nicest things about it for the embedded work I'm doing is knowing that just about everything I'm writing is boringly stack allocated (minus seqs, strings, etc), exactly like we would've done in C ourselves anyway. But when we need to reach for dynamic memory, then ARC has been brilliant. And having RAII-like destructors I've written around C peripheral libraries has been really nice for reducing errors and making it quick to develop in.
Strange. That's even part of the Apple design guidelines, if I remember correctly.

"Climate change is real", is a masterwork of sloganeering. It frames the discussion perfectly.

Is anyone arguing that the climate does not change on the geological timescale? Of course not. Yet from this point the propagandists can equate "change" with "impending doom" via sleight of hand. Conveniently enough there is a solution provided. Simply accept central planning as your savior to avoid the hell-fires of climate doom.

If we are going to legislate the weather or enact regulations to achieve a climatic outcome, then we should at least establish what the ideal climate is. The sloganeering breaks down from this point. They cannot demand climate stasis. It is entirely unreasonable and unprecedented.

Ecosystems or mismanaged ecosystems, these are red herrings. Look at the proposed solutions. Consider that these were the end goals, independent of the provided doomsaying rationales. The goal is economic dominance and central planning. The doomsaying is merely the sales pitch. For me, this is a logical arrangement. Much more so than the deceptive sloganeering.

Of course, as Al Gore, you would probably like to dismiss that as conspiratorial thinking, but I am onto you.
I used to believe this too, but the more I have done online migrations, the more I think its actually the same amount of work in most cases, and less work in the worst cases, and almost never more work.

All the steps you have to take here, you have to do anyways. Write to new, read from new, how to translate, deleting old code. It all is the same. The only difference is you do it in chunks vs all at once. Its perception. But all the components and architecting happen anyways.

Sure, you pay the cost of watching more deployments, but you also gain every step being automated, where offline migrations are often ran once, never committed.
Offline migration are, like online, not free. If you have to take downtime, its usually not during business hours. You have probably quoted a downtime range to customers. So you have a window of time. You will be stressed. You will "practice", you will write a "plan". Even if everything goes well, those aren't free.
But in the worst case, now you have more problems. Let's say something went wrong. Some customer data wasn't as you expected, you have to bring services back up in 20 more minutes. Do you scramble and try to fix it, late at night with limited staff? Or do you roll back? If you roll back, then you have to do this all over again, but you probably need to wait at least a week, because no one wants two planned outages back to back.

With online, every step is "safe". So if you have bugs, no worries, the old way is still working! Maybe rollback the code, but no need to rollback the migration, just leave it in its current state. Take your time, fix it, dont move on till its working.

But even if that doesn't convince you, the number one reason to do online migrations:
No more late night planned outages. Do everything during business hours. My employer doesn't get to intentionally make me work when I should be sleeping. If that means less features shipped, then so-be-it.
Don’t know how it is in most of Europe, but I think that, in the UK, you don’t actually own the land your house sits on; Lord Such-and-Such owns it, and collects rent from you.

In the US, we own the land, and that is usually the real value. I’m the proud owner of a 0.125-acre New York postage stamp. It’s in a fairly affluent area, so is fairly valuable. In Wyoming, they’d laugh at it.

I think Japan is similar.

There is a lot of this middle density already in places like the city of LA. This is a good map showing the true density of different parts of the city (1). The darkest blue are about as dense as the densest parts of paris (50k/sqmi). The model is already there in American cities, it just needs to be expanded to more neighborhoods especially near the job centers which are increasingly in these low density suburbs over transit connected urban cores. This also makes it more challenging to serve transit to more people when only a small portion of your workforce is traveling along any given corridor and in multiple directions). This is an older map not showing the more recent rail lines, but it shows how jobs are distributed across the county unevenly and how convoluted the commutes can grow to be in order to get to these different job centers across the county from the dense housing areas which don't always overlap the dense job centers (2).
