Well, I'm not sure about that. For pure facts, Google is able to answer pretty quickly. Search for 'population of Austria-Hungary in 1914', or 'shakespeare's birthday', or 'official languages of the Philippines', and Google can provide that data.

Obviously, there's work to be done still, and I'd be wary of making Google that 'oracle', but the development there would seem to be incremental (teach it more facts), rather than creating some other completely new concept.
Especially since "low income" is defined relative to area income. One of the first builder's remedy projects is announced in Los Altos Hills, where median family income is $250K a year. "Low income housing" means it has to be affordable to somebody making 80% of that, i.e. $200K a year.

Is it a given they would have won? Who were the winners and what did their work look like? Even with the best of intentions they would have to (a) re-register the entry, (b) redo the competition or review against current winner. And then possibly (maybe!) judge it to be superior to the current winner and then open that can of worm, or not.
The population would only reduce if the parents die immediately after the kid is born. Until the parents die, the population would still grow.

Thank about what the Fertility rate means.

>the TFR is based on the age-specific fertility rates of women in their "child-bearing years", which in conventional international statistical usage is ages 15–44.

>The TFR is, therefore, a measure of the fertility of an imaginary woman who passes through her reproductive life subject to all the age-specific fertility rates for ages 15–49 that were recorded for a given population in a given year. The TFR represents the average number of children a woman would potentially have, were she to fast-forward through all her childbearing years in a single year, under all the age-specific fertility rates for that year. In other words, this rate is the number of children a woman would have if she was subject to prevailing fertility rates at all ages from a single given year and survives throughout all her childbearing years.

It's true that probabilities are subjective. It's also true that dating market behavior is very sensitive to small changes in the gender balance since behavior is set at the margins (i.e. when people pair off, any dis-balance gets amplified)[1]

That's true at the scale of a city, and it's also true in small cliques. Just like in poker (the analogy I keep coming back to), the table and position you sit at (and who you're playing against) matters much more than your absolute skill at the game. And you might still lose - chance is still a part of it, no matter how hard you try.

"A ratio of three college-educated men to every four college-educated women may not seem dramatically skewed, but Jon Birger insists that, in reality, it is. He uses a musical chairs analogy to explain how a 4:3 ratio can create such a large imbalance. Birger explains that after people start to marry off, that ratio quickly drops to 2:1, then 3:1."

"For his first book, “Date-onomics,” Birger studied this phenomenon in the perfect control setting: college campuses. He found that when there are more women than men on campus, students’ dating behavior is oriented more towards hookup culture and less towards monogamous relationships. (When men are in oversupply, the culture is more monogamous.)"

"Pop culture programs, such as “Sex and the City,” tend to paint New York City as a haven for singles — a place where single women can surely find a match. But if you look at the numbers, this is far from reality, Birger points out. In fact, if you live in the 10001 zip code in Chelsea, Manhattan, 78% percent of 20 year olds are females (according to the 2010 census). Birger advises that college educated women may have better luck in areas where the ratio is reversed, such as Silicon Valley or Denver— dubbed “Menver.”"

I know right now it's all anecdata but I noticed this as well! My 2020 M1 Mac's battery life has significantly decreased as well, to the point where I need to charge twice a day like I used to for the old Intel Mac's.

Well, you can produce more, or have higher prices at the grocery store, or you can have empty shelves, or you can ration, or some combination of those. But that's about it.

Of those, producing more sounds nice, but it takes more effort to do so, and you also need the correct pricing signals to make their way to the producers for that to happen. E.g. "Wow, we're getting twice the normal price for our tomatoes - let's grow more of them!" But then this requires a period of socially-uncomfortable profits for businesses along the way.

The other three non-production options don't sound very nice, and our social aversion to profit discourages price increases, so we're left with empty shelves and/or rationing fairly often.

In this case the grocery store chose to ration rather than raise prices or allow a few customers to buy up all the stock. But then there's no reason to pay upstream providers more, and therefore no incentive for those upstream providers to produce more.

I read everything on your website, but I still lack a fundamental vision of what this can do and how to use it. I need to see a few worked practical examples. Like many of us in tech, I suspect that you are so close to your product that you lack the more distant perspective necessary to devise meaningful examples. Professional help devising and writing these examples is probably necessary. I imagine the payback for this would be huge. Good luck with your project.

It depends on what temperature you mean by "hot" and which oil you're referring to. If you're in the band of temperatures in which water produces the leidenfrost effect you are at a good temperature to add oil, if it's too hot you'll know and if it's too cool you'll know if you test your pan with a drop of water before you add the oil and begin cooking.

I don't understand why it's only UK supermarkets having problems? Germany and France each import more than twice as much Spanish vegetables as Britain, and they aren't complaining about shortages. https://wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile/en/Country/ESP/Yea...

I highly suspect this press release is not capturing all of the drivers involved. For example, is it really better for a company to have a failed crop than it is to keep the lights on and raise the price of the produce? In Britain already we've seen food inflation blamed on rising energy prices. So I don't get why they are letting crops fail. Seems like a false economy?

From the article:

"The housing element is important. The Builder’s Remedy is nice, but we want compliant housing elements to house population growth, combat segregation, reduce home prices and combat sprawl."

I was surprised to see "sprawl" called out in the op because that is directly opposed to the flattening of building restrictions and the deregulation that is being pursued by both the state and housing activists.

I thought that sprawl and homogenization of built environments and the flattening of transitions between built spaces was a necessary evil that has been conceded in order to pursue housing deregulation.

So ... I'm surprised to see it mentioned - especially as a pejorative - and it seems incoherent in this context.

A lot of self-proclaimed free-speech advocates believe it is illiberal to criticize them.

For example, say I give a speech and people criticize me for it. If I then say “I’m practicing free speech. My critics are against free speech” then it’s like I’m saying that only the first person to speak is allowed free speech; everyone else needs to shut up.

It sounds silly in this example but this is an extremely common rhetorical technique.
It's not you, it's them. I've been 'indefinitely suspended' thrice from eBay. Whenever their extra secret suspension metrics DB gets an update, your suspension reasons are discarded, and you can appeal to reopen your business. I've found 'indefinitely' is about 4 years.

Hypothetically? Because I live downhill from you, you didn't do any mandated hydrology / runoff study for new construction, and when you moved earth to make room for your deck you turned my nice backyard into a swamp by changing the drainage layout.

This is one of the reasons some new construction requires permitting, for example.

Sure leidenfrost is a fine model to use when thinking about food sticking to your pan and preventing it etc. It still has nothing to do with when you add the oil though.

No cooking oil is going to appreciably oxidize in the 70 seconds it takes to heat a pan. I cooked at very high levels for many years, I have seen a cook get fired on the spot for handling a pan incorrectly, no one cares about whatever oxidation is happening during preheating. The advice to add oil to the hot pan is so you don't forget and overheat the oil, or start a fire.

> I think that the real lesson here is that if a rule is too subjective to interpretation, is better to discuss it beforehand, because even if you're right the person responsible for enforcing it could still get it wrong.

This is definitely a good idea. Sadly, it's all to common to discuss things beforehand and STILL have an enforcer get it wrong.

You could talk to the person responsible for writing the rules, but since the enforcers are different people with different interpretations, you can still get denied. Even between two different enforcers you could get different results.

It's unfair, it's sad, but that's the world we live in.

Typically when you make a dispute the CC company reaches out to the vendor. The vendor can then make their case. Sounds like eBay was saying they wouldn't: they would just accept the loss. I believe they'd still be dinged though, as the first step of filing a dispute is "Yes, I have tried reaching out to the vendor first."

Still, how likely is it that someone in customer support (Kyla) would have any involvement in those in fraud/finance (who presumably would respond to the dispute)?

> Vicky Vosk got her red Nissan truck, the one she always wanted, on her 16th birthday. It was supposed to be the culmination of a childhood master plan: She would get her driver’s license that day, marking the start of an era of independence from her parents.

> But today her truck sits in the garage, banned from being used in any type of cruising expedition with friends. Because of a new law in California, Vosk has put on hold her long-awaited freedom at the wheel, joining a generation of California teenagers who must pay their dues before obtaining full driving privileges.

During the first six months of this phase, teenagers are allowed to drive on their own, but they can’t transport any passengers younger than 20 without someone 25 or older in the car. In addition, they are not allowed to drive between midnight and 5 a.m. unless accompanied by a driver 25 or older.

I am entirely guessing but outside of Alaska the ocean is incredibly deep and on-land most of Alaska would be quite difficult to bring recovery equipment to. Even bush planes have limited places to land and those planes can't carry more than a couple hundred pounds.
