I suspect it is contemptous to eat an horse in Texas precisely because it provides a livelihood and killing one to eat is probably not a wise idea. Culturally, it is entirely understandable just like cows in India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_in_religion_and_mytholo...

I am not here to argue whether it is ok to eat a horse or not. I am debating about whether it is surprising or not. It is not surprising at all IMO.

Likewise, business as a whole in the US (and elsewhere) has no issue supporting the more authoritarian and repressive of the two political parties. They prefer it, in fact, because of what it does for them in limiting worker and consumer rights. When you're in the upper class of society, most of the repressive rules don't personally apply to you.
The linked story kind of buries the context info:

> Nomura said the refusal to pay mortgages stems from the widespread practice in China of selling homes before they’re built. Funds from presales are kept in escrow accounts to use for construction. But confidence that projects will be completed has weakened as developers’ cash woes intensified.

> “Inappropriate usage of presale proceeds and the lack of adequate supervision of escrow accounts by local regulators and banks are likely associated with these mortgage suspension cases,” Zerlina Zeng, a senior analyst at CreditSights, wrote in a note.

Modular buildings tick all your requirements and are ubiquitous in the US.

There are technical (aka, legal) differences between “modular building”, “mobile home”, “trailer”, “motor home”, and “recreational vehicle”.

“Manufactured home” is a trade association term and useful because a manufacturer might build both modular homes and mobile homes on the same assembly line and they may even be hard to tell apart because most of the difference is in the paperwork.

As I said there’s a legal layer.

Manufactured homes are going up like gangbusters in BC, but they’re not mobile manufactured homes.

IMO it’s a brilliant system. Prefab the wall and truss structures off-site, where you can use CNC and jigs to build precisely. Wiring, plumbing, sheathing, siding, insulation, possibly roofing, all pre-installed. Erect on-site using a boom-arm delivery truck in one or two days. Do finishing work in a few days. Three three-person specialized crews building a new home every week.

Many are on lease-hold land with strata expenses for water, area maintenance, plowing, etc. many others on small rural holdings. Sometimes in town, usually in a development with micro-sized lots and ~1000–1200 sq.ft. retirement/starter homes.

Mobile homes are common enough on small rural acreages/homesteads. The new ones are quite nice. New mobile home parks are rare: regulations are undoubtedly a burden, and the cost:payoff too low. Old parks continue to go strong.

Python can do this magic too and the community hasn’t abused it. Every part of modules and module loading is swappble, mutable to the point where modules can be arbitrary classes if you want.

It would be 2/10 difficulty to add transparent module autoloading to Python because you can just hook into module loading and arbitrarily modify or replace the module objects.

You wouldn’t even need a courtesy import because the main module is still a module.
In England and Wales the median house price to median wage ratio in 1997 was 3.55. By 2007 this was 7.17. It dipped to 6.35 in 2009 before recovering.

In 2019 it was 7.73, despite interest rates having dropped from about 6% to under 1%, making mortgages far more affordable. The monthly cost of buying a home (which is what mainly drives the price).

In 1997 it cost 27% of the median gross income for a 90% 30 year mortgage on a median house at the 7% base rate.

In 2007 it cost 44% with a rate of 5.25%

In 2019 it cost 25% with a rate of 0.5%

Today it costs 32% with a rate of 1.25%

> Just get rid of every country in the world, and let people live their lives

I'm not sure why you think getting rid of governments means people would just "live their lives". There are no such utopias in our current world or in any historical one.

If you don't centralize physical control and democratize it, you will have a society dominated by people who do things only because they are physically capable of it and want to, which means you won't be living your life (and may be luckier if you're just dead).
Leaving unused components in your workloads is indeed a security issue. A data breach takes over seven months to detect on average.

this is either a nitpick about language or a sweeping statement about humanity (let the reader decide), but as I see it, it's unhelpful to posit a dichotomy between "society" and "family". A parent caring for children _is_ contributing to society - society is made of people, and those people don't spring fully-formed from anyone's head!

I don't really disagree with the main point of your comment, but I think this distinction is artificial. Perhaps what we're looking for is a way to communicate about the way that different types of work "feel" to the person working, and because we haven't developed our language as well as we'd like, we fall back to reductionistic concepts that perpetuate confusion about the 'goal' of human endeavor; particularly, the idea that "society-oriented" things are somehow intrinsically more valuable/important than "family-oriented" things.
I don’t really have an opinion on this but isn’t “seeing if it sticks” just other words for market research?

This drove me down a rabbit hole, so I thought I would share.

Track used to be separate pieces (seemingly before 1950), but they are now continuous welded rail [1][3]. This was done to allow trains to go faster, and lowers maintenance on the trains. This confused me because trains go "clack clack clack" - I guess that's foley now.

However, it means track is more prone to buckling, since there aren't any expansion joints, like we have on bridges.

Slack is added/removed from the rails by stressing the track during installation [2].

They heat (or mechanically stretch) the track to the length at a chosen "neutral" temperature. Then they install the track. This allows them to calculate the max expansion and contraction the track will see and offset those forces with the sleepers (horizontal forces?) and the ballast (vertical forces?).

The rail can still buckle - this is engineering. If the ballast fails, or the temperatures exceed the maximum allowed for, then it will buckle. It also looks like it must be continually destressed by going along the rail, cutting it and re-welding it? [4]

> People call the current National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election system a secret ballot election—but in fact it's not like any democratic election held anywhere else in our society.

Sounds like the government caused this boycott by trying to rein in the exact activity that the boycotts are protesting. If they're censoring it, it's probably because they're trying to soften the effect on overextended banks. If the government hadn't insisted on functioning in the first place, the mortgage holders would still be in ignorant bliss.

If China could afford to damage these banks (or if the people who run them fail to have the right connections and attitude), it seems like it would actually benefit the government to publicize these boycotts as further support for the crackdown.

In the US, we'd just call the papers and get them to all run stories about a new trend among right-wing conspiracy theorists to stop paying their mortgages, relate them somehow to tax protesters and sovereign citizens, call them freeloaders, and insist that the figures being spread around about the number of people involved are probably from covert Russian sources.

edit: I mean, after that we'd start censoring, demonetizing, think-tank fact-checking and downranking, but only after accusing everyone involved of being a terrorist.

> Async Rust is hard - and Rust in general is hard - because they don’t compromise performance for abstraction and encapsulation.

I love Rust, but this is not completely true. Async Rust is hard because many nice features from Rust are not available in async Rust. For example, you can't have async functions in traits and always need to box return value, compromising performance just because the language is not powerful enough yet to support this.

This also leads to not having standard Read and Write traits and a bunch of fragmentation between runtimes. It's not that having it would compromise performance, it would even allow better performance than the current workarounds, but async Rust is still in development and needs time to catch up. In the meantime you need to do a bunch of awkward tradeoffs between ergonomics and performance when writing async Rust and of course it's frustrating to developers that are used to Rust being zero-cost with awesome ergonomics.

Add in the cost of the human waste disposal that you make unnecessary (ah, I guess that's the "nitrogen pollution" bit). But I understand that phosphates are at least as serious a problem; and I believe nitrates are much less persistent than phosphates.

If I remember a fragment of chemistry from 50 years ago, it's something like "all inorganic nitrate salts are soluble in water at STC". Ammonia's also water-soluble (and volatile); rivers and groundwater can recover from nitrogen pollution more quickly than from phosphate pollution.

One other thing: phosphate fertilisers basically have to be dug out of the ground, and as reserves begin to run low, prices are increasing. But human poo is very high in phosphates.

I mean, even if there's a yick factor, let's face it: every glass of water we drink, whether from the tap or the mineral spring, has probably passed through the kidneys of dozens of animals, including fish, mammals and insects, and certainly hundreds of dinosaurs and millions of bateria. Why should we be concerned if the phosphate salt we use was once a part of human poo, which probably contained nasties at some point? And nobody's proposing that humans should chow-down on phosphate salts extracted from human poo; stick to bananas, and put the fertiliser on the banana tree.
You're spot on. I recently chose Rust over Python for a very small program which reads a JSON (or Hjson) file, does some checking and processing, and writes the results to a different JSON file, because Rust has serde, proper static type checking, algebraic data types, and other features that made it more productive than Python (!!!) for that specific use case. Performance wasn't even a consideration, I made judicious use of clone() and run it in debug mode.

I disagree, because you're paying for boxing on return + dynamic dispatch when it's perfectly safe/sound to have a stackful coroutine that only allocates when the stack needs to grow and doesn't require dynamic dispatch. So you don't pay for heap allocated futures if they aren't necessary, and you pay less when they are.

So you're actually paying a higher price than if the compiler could support stackful generators for recursive futures. In fact async just gets a lot easier to write and use if generators could be stackful, at least imho. Generators don't have the syntax nice-ness of async/await, but they're also more explicit which feels more in with the rest of Rust, where syntax sugar like async/.await() is the exception and not the norm.
Agreed. We're just learning now, in the current heatwave, how effective blackout blinds are in keep the heat out (white coloured backing facing the sun). It's great.
I get that, and I wish you the best with it. It's definitely interesting like I said. I'm not sure what financial model would make it seem less intimidating, but I'd imagine as a indie course-maker-on-the-side it'd be too expensive. Maybe a different pricing scheme for corporations.
Very interesting, thank you! i mostly drone as a hobby to get some interesting shots, so this is my first foray into using it to do anything like this. Indeed I am talking about odm_orthophoto_render.tif, I assumed it was the higher resolution one because of the size (about 3x the size of the other two), and qGIS was not treating odm_orthophoto.tif well, but after closer inspection looks like qGIS just didn't like odm_orthophoto.tif because it was having trouble loading it full resolution, but it did end up loading it correctly if I gave it a few more moments to load, and works really well!

Thanks so much for the ad hoc tech help, will definitely be playing with this more!
