Tracy Ulman is the closest I can think of non-animated characters doing music parodies on a regular basis. But she usually made gaffe rock videos, which is related, but not what you're asking about.

Golden Girls did a few musical numbers, but that was a really long time ago. I can't think of any modern-day sitcom that could pull off musical parodies without coming across as being very strange. Yet it totally works for animations somehow.
Thanks for the explanation. I payed a bit of attention to the indie gaming scene years ago (must have been circa 2012 ... has it been 10 years already?!), so it's always nice to hear stories from that little corner of the internet. :)

This kind of "discovery" UI sucks. You see it everywhere now. A/B testing, out of touch design teams and algorithms have overtaken basic common sense.

Spotify has many teams working on the UI of their app, could be 100+ people, perhaps even hundreds. Isn't that absurd when the UI of any classic music/media player is superior?

The number of households is significantly constrained by the supply of housing units, so that seems like a less relevant number.

Here's a shred of evidence:

Las Vegas is a city mostly surrounded by public lands. New private parcels are no longer made available as lots appropriate for single family homes. They are carved onto neighborhood sized chunks, sold to developers directly, and locked into HOA's for all eternity.

Only the big boys that can tackle multi-million dollar bids can enrich themselves by the sale of our public lands.
Earlier than I thought, I figured a couple of centries later.
It just asserts that without proof.

The paper essentially argues that construction costs can be lowered significantly using factory production methods, especially for small-modular homes. I have no problem with that part. The title has no basis in the paper, though.

It is unrelated to the massive increase in housing (and other asset) prices in recent years which are the cause of the current housing crisis.
Life is Strange was fantastic, but I wouldn't recommend it to OP. While it's not a game that revels in violence, the violence in it feels especially heavy.
You're getting downvoted because of the harsh language, but you're right. The defendant brought a banana to a gun fight. Downvoters, please read the actual ruling[1]. He didn't even seem to understand the basics of defending oneself in court, filing motions in the wrong order, making arguments without evidence, and so on. What he should have done was 1. stop doing whatever it is he was accused of until the case cleared up, so fines stopped accruing, and 2. hired a competent attorney to defend him. He didn't do either of these and instead winged it in court complaining about how unfair everything was.

I am totally on his side, too. It's ridiculous that you can't work on cars in your backyard. But he did everything wrong in his interactions with the State.

If $500K was on the line, would you just yolo it and act as your own attorney?

That article manages to contradict itself. In one place they state "In reality, neither are reserves a binding constraint on lending," and in another "But whether through deposits or other liabilities, the bank would need to make sure it was attracting and retaining some kind of funds in order to keep expanding lending", right after writing about running out of reserves, a direct contradiction. In general it's mostly correct but authors appear to be really confused, repeating statements from other sources without any understanding. A sign of how incompetent western establishment is becoming.

The mechanism is very simple. Central banks lend money and that's how money is created. They do it by accepting various collateral. Whether they lend directly as debt or by purchasing assets via a reverse repo is a detail. Banks remain liquid by either holding money directly, or assets that are accepted as collateral by the central bank to generate new money instantly. Sometimes that liquidity runs out, which may then require a special central bank intervention (like relaxing collateral rules during a wide crisis), or even a firesale of assets, which can lead to insolvency. They remain solvent by owning more assets than liabilities. The difference between all short term liabilities (deposits) in the banking system and central bank money is the total money multiplier.

Fortunately, unlike confused writers of that article, people actually making decisions in almost all central banks still know that's how it works - which is why they know that rising interest rates reduces inflation (although not instantly). Erdogan, in comparison, appears to believe that high interest rates create inflation - results are visible for everyone.
What are these ways? Send repeated notices? Sue them? Get a court order? They already did all of this.

Indeed kinda weird that it can't just use 2x ethernet. Would be a nice IDS device then.

Also, problem is it won't capture factory firmware stuff that forces itself out over the 4G/5G connection on the device even when wifi is connected. Though I suppose you can set it on flight mode. But smart malware would just pause its upload then, I assume.
Typical anti-Musk talking points.

> Musk bought into both of those

Very early on. And grew, at least Tesla, many orders of magnitude from early prototype to mass production.

> SpaceX has been very good at eliciting government handouts

Contracts, not handouts. Which they have delivered on in spades.

Starship and Starlink are still early, yes. But Falcon 9 has brought launch costs down considerably, is putting more mass to orbit than the rest of the world combined, and is currently the only way the United States can get astronauts into orbit.
Without sounding insensitive to the tragedy that is gun violence, it looks to me that had they looked at ice cream sales, they would find a spike of gun violence correlated to such sales.

Well, yes, sure. But if all your neighbors say that rats are breeding in your suburban backyard and you refuse to allow anyone in who could document otherwise, resulting civil action like fines should be no surprise.
That sounds to me like the far pointer was used to set the segment number, and the pointer offset isn't added back to the segment number as that'd be slow.

You are the one that brought the thing about monopolies, and you still haven't brought up any strong argument that Amazon has a de facto monopoly. And you also are going to have an even harder time to make a case that Amazon should be convicted for anti-competitive practices.

(Also, let's not get into the fact that the news are about changes in Denmark and you are using an wikipedia link to argue about US Antitrust Law. The world does not spin around D.C)

So, yeah, we can drop the talk about monopolies.

> power comes in many forms.

I'm not arguing about power by itself. I'm arguing about how dangerous an institution can be if they abuse the power they do have. You and I might dislike all the data collecting from Amazon (and Google et caterva), but none of them can put me in jail. The Government can. And since you want to think of terms of American politics: think of all the abuses that were made in the name of "The War on Terror" and "The War of Drugs". Don't forget the Obama administration getting the IRS to go after Tea Party organizations.

Mind you, this is no way a defense of the corporations, and I already have an idea of how I would like to see people fighting the concentration of power [0]. But I find weird seeing people who understand how bad it can be when power gets too concentrated in the hands of a few, and yet they just want to put it all in the hands of the government, the one entity they have no recourse against. To me, those wishing to give the government more power than it already has shows a case of naivety at best and a serious authoritarian inclination at worst.

I still buy occasionally from Amazon, but it's mostly reorders. Searching there is so weird as to be useless. Why do they need all those resellers?

I'm really confused about what was going on here, what was the nature of the alleged mistake, and why it was a mistake or bad.
I don't know if it's wasted. Depends on what you expect out of your computing device. My partner is very happy sketching in ProCreate every day, but she'd find a hackable Linux device much less useful. I'm pretty much the other way around.
The monopolization the paper refers to is how industry and government prevent the adoption of factory methods in construction, increasing construction costs.

Oil is only an issue when changing or leaking, and even then only the once. If you've changing it, or have leaks, use a pan. If he's not doing that, charge him with that. It's not like simply having a car on the grass emits a wave of environmental destruction? Stop harassing the man.

And if they're citing people for fruit on the grass, I want to see citations for leaves in autumn, yard furniture, hoses, sprinklers, bicycles, children's toys, planter boxes, and landscaping materials. Y'all would probably have a fit over composting.
You might be thinking of Turkmenistan.

Until Erdogan came to power, Turkey was arguably more democratic and more secular than the US. In recent decades whenever Turkey occasionally got a leader who began to act too Islamist or too dictatorial, the army would stage a coup, toss the rascal out, and restore democratic rule. This happened in 2016 but for the first time since Ataturk, the coup failed (badly!) and Erdogan emerged even more powerful. I worry for the future of Turkey.
Dear Spotify users, don't.

There are good reasons Spotify does what Spotify does, some of which have already been mentioned in this thread. Instead of begging and groveling for them to change, why not change your habits to ones more beneficial to you? Spotify has never promised users freedom; they are simply a front-end to their collection of licensed music. Spotify has all the power in the relationship with their users and will perpetrate abuse on their users without hesitation or warning.

If you're on a freedom-respecting OS, I recommend either soulseekqt or any plain old BitTorrent client for music acquisition. I recommend mpd with ncmpcpp as a client for playing, and sending cash by mail to whoever you want. Remember, sharing is a virtue, not a vice.

Which is not that great in itself.

Streaming is for the 5% of the people obsessed with variety over building a relationship with select music (and who does that while claiming its a "false dichotomy"), and casual listening skimmers (the 95%).
There's probably a middle ground where persons can be allowed to use their private property for businesses such as the one in this case, while still being subject to reasonable regulations that prevent environmental abuse and other such issues.
You could just say let's go see the Giants play. It's not a question of which stadium they are going to be playing. For American sports, I rarely refer to a stadium by sponsor name. In fact, I prefer to know the irreverant names for them. In Dallas, the cowboys play at Jerry World. When Barry Switzer was coaching, the stadium was referred to as Switzer-land. I also refer to stadiums by their Stadium Formerly Known As like I always used Candlestick instead of whatever corp name stamped on it.
Lot/construction loans is a highly speculative business, especially as lots of builders are blue-collar guys with minimal assets who can simply close shop in a recession. Building homes is constrained by the wider economy and interest rates, and they take a while to build, so in all of the umpteen million housing crashes we've had previously, a large % of homes built will hit in the market in the middle of a crash.

The history of housing busts dates back hundreds of years and is older than the United States. Banks are not wild to extend lot or construction loans because, until we achieve AI singularity, there's always another bust coming around the corner- and banks know they'll take it on the chin. Especially to the average home builder, who will simply walk away from their loans in a recession, close their company, declare bankruptcy, etc. etc.
That…. Has nothing apparently to do with what the message you were replying to was asking?
So historically inaccurate characterizations give rise to racism, except it doesn't because the racism was already there? I still don't understand.

Back of the envelope, they're roughly the same, CO2-wise.
Alcohol kills more people than "harder" drugs and is much more acceptable within polite society. Same situation with tobacco, which also happens to be one of the most difficult substances to quit that we know of. Your average patient suffering from substance abuse will have an easier time quitting most drugs in comparison to nicotine. Given intravenously, nicotine is 5-10x more potent in producing a euphoric effect than cocaine.

Heroin, meth, etc. might kill you quicker and be more unpleasant to administer with more noticeable withdrawals, but if we're talking about ultimate cost to society they're not the worst offenders.

I can get much better data more quickly without it. And, indeed, the best places I've ever worked with the smartest people I've ever known have not used these types of problems in the interview.

I've personally solved hundreds of them for the problem-solving challenge, but it's a horrible way to determine if someone is a good fit for a job. It's like interviewing a mechanic for your auto shop by seeing how well they can change a tire using only a screwdriver.

>the current generation of renewable energy is so much more expensive and involved than the equivalent in a nuclear energy plant.

This may have been true 15 or even 10 years ago, but nowadays the exact opposite is the case.

> It's very attractive to get solar panels installed on your house, but the grid cannot handle the influx of new production. Whereas attaching a new nuclear plant to the main grid would be less of a headache.

How is that supposed to make any sense at all? The grid likes nuclear-flavored power better?
A lot of those presumably require doctorates however.
that's the point of any policy by definition. All policies do is create either negative or positive incentives that deter or encourage behavior respectively, I don't see why you ought to do it on the basis of bad data rather than good data.

When you get child tax credits or pay a carbon tax very explicitly the point is to control what you do, that's not new, secret or particularly sinister.

I do not understand the tragic aspect. Private firms have had similar powers in specific contexts, and may partner with the government, so they seem to have the same potential consequences.
I imagine the "deep" aspect is that it seems to be well below surface waves that seem to reek havoc on other projects. That depth is still pretty difficult to service as install without pretty sophisticated planning I would think.
I didn't find it convincing.

Elsewhere here I asked why factory-built housing doesn't seem to be popular world-wide, which is what you would expect if it's only US Federal policy which prevents it from being popular in the US.

I'll add that I saw no discussion of how local housing policies were designed to prevent "Large numbers of low-income, city residents [from moving] to these areas", in order to keep property values high. Or the classism that caused people to look down on mobile homes.

The author rhetorically asks "But what stops public transportation from expanding upon the arrival of new residents?", when I've heard so many New Urbanist videos answering that question.

I didn't understand how "a uniform building code across the country would be a great benefit to factory producers" is a meaningful goal, given that the needs for Florida, Arizona, and Alaska are quite different, making me question his understanding.

I read "There is a literature that asks why the poor live in cities." and counter with the observation that the poverty rate is higher in rural areas - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_poverty#Rural_versus_Urb... says "rural poverty rates are higher and more persistent than in urban areas, rural workers are disadvantaged by lower wages and less access to better paying labor markets" - note that housing prices aren't part of it.

And I didn't see mention that "stick housing" has moved towards factory methods. As https://priceonomics.com/in-defense-of-mobile-homes/ points out:

> Windows, doors, and other parts arrive prefabricated, Rybczynski writes, so labor costs have actually halved since 1949. Levitt and Sons spent $4 to $5 per square foot building Levittowners, and, adjusted for inflation, builders today spend the same amount.

> Instead the problem is almost wholly that land is too expensive. Reduce the size of a new, modern house by 50%, Rybczynski notes, and houses in metropolitan areas will still cost over $200,000.

> That’s the secret to the extreme affordability of a mobile home—take land out of the equation.

We aren't really using "traditional methods" - engineered wood is not traditional and is very common. "As of 2005, approximately half of all wood light framed floors were framed using I-joists" says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood#Beams . These were made in a factory, and not "on-site" as the author describes the house-building process.
I've gotten a graymarket webcam (Chinese version 930c, when I ordered a 930e), when ordering from the "Logitech" store, on Amazon.

When I returned it, I stated that I'd better get a 930e as a replacement, but the vendor (not Logitech -quelle surprise) told me that I would get a 930c, so I cancelled the order, and got one directly from the Logitech site (It was a bit more expensive, but not crazy more).

When I reported it, Amazon rejected my (polite, detailed, and backed up with photographs) reports on the product page, and ignored my reports to them. I would not be surprised if the item is still being sold as a 930e (it's not), and as being sold by Logitech (it's not).

I did mention it to Logitech, but they basically told me that Amazon is an 800-lb gorilla, and that they weren't gonna raise a stink (not in exactly those words).
