I agree with your point regarding local culture, but I'm not clear on the economic waste. An empty second home generates property tax revenue for the city/town in which it exists, yet, by virtue of being empty, creates no burden on power, schools, roads or other infrastructure. I would suspect that regions with large percentages of vacation homes (e.g. Cape Coral, FL, USA) scale to meet the needs of their resident population. Could they even support 100% occupancy?
One reductive way to view Western (straight) dating culture:

- the women are competing for top ~10% of men, who almost always will have multiple casual partners at any given time because of this

- the (other 90% of) men are competing for the top 50% of women

It's a mess of poorly defined and misaligned interests. This leads to tension and stereotypes ("all men are assholes! all women are harlots!") and sexual inequality.
> The project is quite different. It uses the mainline Linux kernel, and a standard userland, to support a wide variety of devices. The theory is that not needing a manufacturer's outdated firmware or drivers means that pmOS can use more current components, direct from the various upstream Linux projects.

This clarifies a lot for me. Regarding android app support on postmarketos - I haven't tried postmarketos yet but my understanding is some have been managing this via using 'waydroid'

I strongly remember using Firebug in Firefox (mind-blowing tools, for the time) in ~2008 and having to debug issues in IE, which had the equivalent of a Check Engine Light for debugging.
To be honest this reply smells like "man-o-sphere" logic...

PSA: To anyone struggling with this please try and ignore any advice online that focuses on the opposite sex and their inherent value (or lack thereof). Actually talking to the opposite sex even in a casual way is a really good way to get over this type of thinking.
Effects are included in OCaml 5, but considered experimental. This doesn't stop us from building libraries that take advantage of them internally, in order to provide really nice external interfaces.

The best developed one is "eio", which uses effects (and io_uring on Linux) internally in order to provide a really high performance, direct-style IO library for OCaml. You can walk through some of the code here: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/eio#getting-started

Also a video talk about our experiences with using effects for writing parsers, from the OCaml Workshop last year. https://watch.ocaml.org/videos/watch/74ece0a8-380f-4e2a-bef5...
It is a fair point - I just got excited about heading back to a few thousand transistors that we can understand idea. I doubt there are more than ten people who can reason about the latest things coming out of Intel.

One presumes that there must be some general purpose processor else this is just a RFID specific die (It does say ALU, PC and branch logic) so one assumes the idea is to be able to flash something some how. Then again, the cost of hooking up a die to flash it must exceed 1c so ... oh I am just talking in circles.

They are becoming more common here in the US. Although the one that I see most is more like a 3-4 hour peak period with very high rates and lower rates the rest of the day.
Agreed. Same goes for online streaming content. I'll pay up to $50/mo in total for media subscriptions (eg: Netflix). I won't pay $19.99 for 8 individual services that each have 1 or 2 things worth watching and then a bunch of filler (Netflix is continually heading this direction, IMO).

I have no issues at all paying for content, but I really only want to pay for the things that interest me directly, not a bundle of shows that have no personal appeal. And there is a disincentive to have too many services in general.
"Spent time doing normal things with her" what does that even mean if not "dating"?

What's "dating in the normal sense"?
Good luck with that in America. The US country was literally founded on life, liberty, and property.

Because dates are supposed to be fun - the best kind of a date should be with your married partner - no 'do they like me' debate running through your head, no 'I wonder what they look like naked'. You can be completely comfortable with each other.
Ideology gets in the way of truth on this one.

One side doesn't want to admit that a lot of poor people have a good bit of free time available to them, particularly those who receive social services.

The other side doesn't want to admit that middle class and up folks have been working long hours at a cost to their personal lives and development, that isn't new, but now both mom and dad are doing it and households aren't really any better off.

This results in poor people with the time to make and raise children, doing so and receiving government subsidies to provide for them. The problem is the government can't give you time or your youth back so the well off just stopped having kids.

It's called road tax because you need to pay it before you can take your vehicle on the road. You can own a car and keep it in your garage and you don't have to pay any tax on it - it's not a car tax, it's a road tax.

It's an error to assume that people call taxes by what they pay for, the common name of a tax is what makes you liable for it. Income tax is paid when you earn income, insurance tax is paid when you take out an insurance policy, road tax is charged if you want to take your vehicle on the roads.

'plenty of vehicles' is also just bicycles and carts AFAIK, any other vehicle requires registration and tax (even if the rate is £0).
In any case, it doesn't matter that not all road users pay road tax, we still call income tax as such even though not all earners pay it!

As an aside, I don't own a car and in fact prefer to cycle; I simply object to a factually incorrect and nonsensical prescriptivist campaign against how normal people speak.

Out of interest, how so? E-bikes are very popular in the Swiss countryside.

This is not a case of if, this is the truth. It's just a modern spin on feudalism.
the software I'm working on still supports IE, but after years of pushing for it, in 2020 management let us start work on supporting Chrome/Edge. Though we'll have to see how our automated testing suite will be impacted by those redirections (FTA: "opening Internet Explorer will progressively redirect users to Microsoft Edge with IE mode."), because we're still testing with IE, though that's also planned to be phased out this summer.
No you see, evil investors hoard the housing and put bouncy castles in them.
I've gone out to dinner with my mother and long-term friends, but I'm not dating any of them. Sometimes eating is just eating.
The part that wont work about this is it targets the wrong sector of the housing market. Most of the rules you suggest would apply to luxury properties/vacation rentals/etc. Even if the owner were to sell the property, it wouldn't suddenly become affordable. These are the most "visible" homes, but they are a tiny minority of the housing market.

The problem as I see it is government regulation. There was a thread on Reddit from a LA property developer that explained why only luxury apartment buildings ever get built. Long story short is there was so much red tape, regulation, etc that building anything but expensive high rise units was unprofitable. I heard somewhere that for the average home in California, you're paying something like a 50-80k premium because of red tape and regulations.

The solution isn't to add more rules and regulations, but rather to take them away. The way we are going to get more affordable housing isn't through a program where 10% of a high rise's units are "affordable", but by actually making affordable housing profitable. If a developer can build an "affordable" property and make money on it, we will see more of them.
If you're not joking, I think the reasons are pretty clear. As a cis straight man, it's a useful way to signal your partner's importance to you. It's an opportunity for your partner to make herself look good and get dressed up which improves her mood and well being. It's also a good way to avoid letting all your time being doing your own thing or sitting around on your phones and make it clear that you aren't taking your partner or the relationship for granted
So, a made-up, non-ratified, document is something every human should just accept?

Lolz.
Everyone sells 30 years of their future for a house, so you’re competing with that. On top of that, when prices rise people can leapfrog into more expensive houses, and you’re competing with that. Finally there’s a lot of corporate and private investing money in single family housing. It’s fucked up. But many do predict a decline or even crash soon.

I pay $0.07 per kwh in Portland, OR. My Tesla Y gets roughly 3 miles per kwh. So 30 miles for $0.70.

40% never having a romantic relationship outside of marriage, yes. The two graphs gave roughly the same number, with one translating to how many “恋人” some has had, translating roughly to “Girlfriend, Boyfriend, Sweetheart” and the other graph translating roughly to “How many people have you gone on a date with”, dating using the loan word “デート”.

In both cases, about 5% of married people considered themselves to be at 0 people in both categories. It’s not about sex, it’s about having another person you spent time with in a romantic intent.

Widespread union membership actually made it easier to keep wages down. Union leaders would negotiate wage increases to match inflation, but you couldn't leave the union and find a new job without losing all of your seniority. You were essentially locked into lifetime employment.

In the current system, low-wage workers can bounce immediately as there is no loyalty to their firm in either direction. Workers can very quickly jump to whoever is paying the inflation-adjusted wages, and the government can't keep a lid on income rises by negotiating with a small group of union and corporate leaders.
I would love to see nuclear be far more of the base-load production in the US, but rather than large gigawatt-scale reactors I think it would benefit everyone more if we moved to using SMRs (small modular reactors). Not only could manufacturing economies of scale be realized but SMRs can passively cool themselves in the event they need to scram or shut down. The scenario that concerns me the most is a terrorist attack on our grid and externally on a nuclear power station: if a plant can be scrammed AND the backup diesels sabotaged then pretty much all nuclear plants in the US would be looking at a Fukushima-like event once the batteries to the primary cooling loop ran out.

Nuclear is definitely a good idea for the future, but only if SMRs are the basis of moving forward.
It's like going treasure-hunting and demonstrating to everyone's satisfaction that there is definitely no treasure where you looked. It doesn't tell you very much about 1) if the treasure you're hunting really exists (there's many more places it could be), or 2) what exactly the treasure consists of.

It's technically more information, but it's not very much information.

eg, what did we learn from the underwater hunt for MH370? not a lot, millions were spent to still have no clue where the thing is. It's not just political to say that the hunt failed in an important way.

More than 25% of the UK population lives in the five largest metropolitan areas, with the London urban zone being almost 15% of the UK population. Subsidising e-bikes and electrified public transit for those areas would be the most efficient and highest impact use of those funds for climate change mitigation.
I argue that moving it “out of support” doesn't mean anything for what browsers you have to support. Users and businesses still using IE11 aren't exactly those that are on the top of their IT policy game, so I doubt they will be jumping when the browser is “no longer supported by Microsoft.”
If I recall correctly (and I could be completely confused), the government initially funded gas station networks to support automobile markets. I'd love to see them build out subsidy to create a similar network for electric chargers.

As long as it doesn't take the form the broadband companies had.

In fact it can be used as a pressure strategy to customers that do have empathy. Those might complain a bit less loud when you let them know you might have to fire someone.
We frequently encounter legacy industrial automation applications that use IE inside an ActiveX container. There are a few third-party apps that attempt to bundle Chrome or Edge inside an ActiveX object, but we've had limited success.
For nested parallel computations (think Scientific Programming, where one would use OpenMP, Rust Rayon, etc), we have domainslib [1]. Eio, a direct-style, effect-based IO library is pretty competitive against Rust Tokio [2]. The performance will only get better as we get closer to the 5.0 release.

That seems to be missing that many of those highly-paid professionals were not highly paid in their peak fertile years. Engineers maybe, but doctors and lawyers tend to spend many years in school and then interning. If you start having kids at 30, you'll usually end up with fewer total kids than if you had started at 20. The most highly paid engineers are likely those willing and able to relocate frequently, too, which brings its own challenges. Money is needed to feel secure enough to start a family, but so are stable living arrangements and social structures.
Good. It's the most logical choice to complement other green initiatives.

Funny article in that it doesn't discuss lifecycle costs. A side-by-side comparison of the cost of grids powered by nuclear power plant relative to those powered by wind/solar/storage is what I'd expect to see from a 'paper of record' like the NYTimes.

Except in some specific cases (Finland, other Arctic regions with long periods of low sunlight) I'm pretty sure this cost comparison comes down firmly on the side of wind/solar/storage. Storage is the main cost barrier for 100% renewable-powered grids, but this is also an area where technological development is possible.

Much of the discussion of energy in the American media is pretty poor these days. For example, the solar tariff issue on China sourced PV - there are simply no US companies making panels of comparable quality (monocrystalline Si lasts longer and is more efficient). Concepts like requiring Chinese manufacturers to open factories in the USA if they want to sell in US markets would make sense but probably would violate some trade provision or other.

Another factor that this article should have mentioned is the reliability of the global uranium ore -> fuel rods supply chain. Costs vary significantly based on the purity of the ore (18% is the top, 0.1% is the economically viable limit) and like oil, uranium ore is not globally distributed (unlike sunlight and wind).

As far as Russia/Ukraine, the real agenda the US government seems to be pushing there is using that conflict to rapidly increase LNG exports to Europe from the US West/South coast, even though energy prices are spiking due to inflation (and plausibly due to exports of crude oil from the USA, allowed under that 2015 bill lifting that restriction). A far better plan for Europe would be to go 100% renewable asap, meaning no need for fossil fuel imports from any party. Yes, that's technologically possible, but would require massive economic investment.
Small distributed reactors sound great, but don't they exacerbate the waste disposal problem? I think the logistics and politics would be easier to manage if the waste production was highly centralized.
The article has a one liner Linus didn't like it. But if you google it you will come across this Linus quote: "Subversion has been the most pointless project ever started. Subversion used to say CVS done right: with that slogan there is nowhere you can go. There is no way to do CVS right."

If you haven't already, look into Certificates of Deposit ("CD") at your local bank. They're FDIC insured (so if the bank goes under, you're covered, up to something like $250k) and you don't have to worry about losing the principal amount you put in. If you ever need to withdraw that money in case of an emergency, you only risk losing out on the interest. Instead of dumping a ton of money into a single CD, look into CD laddering wherein you setup multiple CDs that expire in 3 months, 6 months, etc or some other cadence that you're comfortable with.
They’re great, but Base is new(ish) and not complete and Core is Linux only (maybe it work on OS X too?)

Yeah my cat and the most recent dog to join our household did not get along, and the cat let us know he was angry with the situation in various ways, including pooping on our bed. We got him a multi-level cat cage that he could go into and out of at will, but that was inaccessible to the dog, and the pooping in our personal spaces stopped literally overnight. He's much happier now that he has his own space he can retreat to when the dogs come in the house in the evening.

The United States is not the only place in the world. There are other countries with their own idiosyncrasies where different strategies may make more sense, and they all vent to the same atmosphere. So maybe if you're going to make a dismissing post such as this, about _global_ emissions, you should include arguments that cover places that are not the United States.
"Dating" during marriage is just a way to make sure you set aside time to keep a relationship healthy. It doesn't need to be "a permanent state of ersatz courtship". My wife and I go on hikes, work in the yard together and play board games. Many other couples do similar things. Again, it's just a way to set aside time to focus on a relationship in the hustle and bustle of life.

I agree with your assessment that it's what this (free) housing market is creating. I think it's by design though? If your argument is that this is somehow a market failure necessitating government intervention, you need to prove why the alternative situation is better for everyone, not just the locals.
