> It's mainly because they don't build enough housing. There's no fundamental reason it would happen otherwise; they use land more efficiently and have lower energy costs than suburbs do, and that should matter more than the higher competition.

Ok. So why does that happen? It happens basically everywhere in the world: the dense cities are more in demand and more expensive than the middle of nowhere.

If nobody can build "enough housing" in their cities, to make their cities as cheap as their rural land, I think that tells us something. We can' simply take demand entirely out of the picture, since adding more supply is both (a) a lagging process and (b) a process that itself helps promote more demand by necessitating more service business, more jobs at those businesses, etc. I.e., if you make the land more attractive to everyone, everyone who wants to use that land for their business or residence has more competition for securing a spot on it.

"It makes it seem as though there was just the Good side that had all the answers all along"

That, right there, is where so many people went wrong and what was blatantly exploited by grifters up and down the chain. The side of science didn't "have answers all along", but it was willing to learn and change.

And no, it wasn't "boo science". It was, to a large extent, political maneuvering using science as a convenient scape goat, because whenever science learned, it got turned into a "see, they don't know either". And, of course, with a large helping of grifters making money off the ensuing confusion.

In reality, it came down to seeing who was willing to change their mind in the face of new evidence, and it was a pretty clear signal. (It was not noise free, absolutely, but it was not extremely hard to read, either - if folks had a basic amount of scientific education. There's your solution, too)

Horse shit, when our great grandparents fought for labor rights in the twenties, including literally taking up arms and shooting at pinkertons and being shot by pinkertons, they did not take time off to do so!

We are entitled. We continue to accept worse and worse and worse and being squeezed tighter and tighter, because when the local group says "Hey lets go march and do something about this" nobody fucking shows up! These generations have utterly refused to stand up. So yeah, of course our situation is shit, who is going to do something about it?
They should have done this 20 years ago. The JVM has always been a questionable discission.
Something being possible is fine however this situation is becoming untenable and needs regulation ASAP. Google, apple et al have too much power and are involved in too many aspects of life. If they are borderline utilities, governments must regulate them so. situations like this have some legal recourse.
Yeah, what seems to actually happen is that 1) most small cities lose people; 2) otherwise attractive small towns with weak job markets get way more expensive; 3) lots of people gather in the largest cities, anyway, because it turns out that when people can live wherever they want they choose the biggest, best cities.

No, this is just removing the third party. If I'm on a Meta property seeing an ad served by Meta targeted by my data from using Meta, then there's not third party.
I'm currently struggling through "Our Glamorous Time", which is about the modern fashion industry in mainland China. There are several romances, and the romantic scenes mostly involve food. Business dinners are a big thing. The social scenes involve food buffets. Everybody is thin, except one bad guy, and he gets shot.

(There's no sex. Not even close. This stuff is heavily censored and has blatant propaganda about the Belt and Road Initiative and the COMAC airliner. The feeling I get is that the writers have certain boxes to check to get past the censors, and once they do that, they can make entertainment. As long as they stay away from the no-go areas.

There used to be junk such as "Sky Fighters", a Top Gun movie clone made by a film unit of the PLA. That was so awful that the PLA stopped trying to make entertainment. More than half the Chinese dramas today are historical costume epics, which don't get censored so much. If you like that sort of thing, watch "Princess Agents", which is perhaps the best of that genre.)

That's the "average civil forfeiture." No proceeding for civil forfeiture is for the average amount; though, it's often for quite a bit more, generally thousands of dollars.

It actually sounds unconstitutional when you put it like that... but then again, if you don't put it like that then it doesn't! Law is like an ass, isn't it, it goes in whatever direction the drover points it.
I look at these same numbers and think holy crap that's a lot.
It's pretty common that the front line don't and can't know the underlying details, especially in situations that might have overlaps with law enforcement / crime.

Apple gift cards are a massive vehicle for fraud, both in extracting value from stolen credit cards, and in scams ("the IRS has frozen your SS number...send iTunes cards or get arrested!"). There are places that sell Apple cards 80%+ off face value, the use of which is a very good way to get your account locked. Stolen/scammed Apple cards should have a market value of nothing.

I know nothing about this particular case or whether such gift cards played a part. And ultimately getting completely locked out of a digital identity without recourse is ridiculous and demands legislative remedy. However I'm pretty cynical about these sorts of stories at this point. Perhaps it's years of playing in first person shooter games where it's normal to see cheaters/hackers wail about their innocence when banned, to eventually changing their story and just going radio silent when they're proven cheats. Apple has absolutely no benefit to arbitrarily banning random people for fun. Not that it couldn't happen, and errors absolutely happen, however it usually isn't random.

I don't really see how that matters. Most people tried for murder are guilty, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have their day in court.

That makes sense. I do understand the worries about learning from AI. It's worth saying that different software is used for transcribing what you say (rather than ChatGPT), and that's been trained on lots of data (including YouTube videos) of people speaking that language, not to say that it could never get it wrong. But I definitely hear what you're saying about ChatGPT sentence structure on the less popular languages.

Good point about open sourcing. I definitely agree.

There could be an unfortunate consequence of this: picking and choosing who's traffic to accept. Telcos generally operate as common carriers, meaning they have to accept traffic from anybody. Obviously, that doesn't seem right when we don't like that traffic. But imagine if telcos could start deciding on their own which businesses they were willing to work with or deliver calls to. What if they could just cut off your business because they don't like what you're selling.

I'm not saying we're on the way there - this doesn't have to be a slippery slope. But it's something to keep in mind.

Wow. I disagree so hard here. As someone who grew up in Arlington, sure I'm biased, but also educated on what Arlington is like - there are incredible diasporas from Korea, Mongolia, East Africa, and Central America. Really excellent food, a lot of culture spread throughout. Public school system is amazing, and you're 1.5-2hrs away from some amazing national parks. Sure - it's still a suburb. The Rosslyn/Clarendon strip has some spots that fit the description you're talking about, but also some spots that totally don't. It brings a lot more to the table than most other suburbs I've been to.
Food has a universal appeal that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, making it a powerful tool for conveying emotions and relationships in film.

Why not? If the license is revoked then it should be refunded. They are not forced to revoke licenses after all - they can very well ban further purchases from allegedly-fraudulent accounts while allowing them to consume whatever they've already successfully paid for (and that hasn't been charged back obviously) and then they wouldn't have to refund anything.

But hard problems to convince people to want who are used to air conditioned private pods instead of hot cattlecars with groping and harrasment, if we're just picking the least attractive elements of each method. "An hour, but on your feet crammed like sardines with everyone else" will get even less appealing to someone used to the car-based life if self-driving cars ever take off.

If people only make cases for transit by straw-manning the worst part of cars and ignoring the worst part of mass transit it's gonna take a long time to convince enough people to spend the billions needed to make it happen, since most people aren't stupid and they know that there are cons of public transit too, not just unalloyed pros.

Telemetry in software is never worth it in my opinion. The only part that is useful is crash detection and logging. But if the goal is to decide what is important or no, the data just become self reinforcing. You have all those feature request boards and items with multiple votes on it and the company never act on them (Looking at you, Spotify), so what is the usefulness on the telemetry then?
A few years back they were one of the big voices sounding the alarm about electronic voting. Now, according to them, that's an alt-right conspiracy theory.

> due to various impurities and that it will take a while before we have a sample that is pure enough that all of these properties can be nailed down for good.

Do you think it will be "purity" or understanding material variance/specific impurity?

It reminds me of Fogbank, the nuke material claimed to be "so secret they forgot how to make it." Part of the story of manufacturing difficulty was due to increased purity of modern materials/processes.

In a bizarre twist, the new production facility and reverse-engineered production process yielded a version of Fogbank that was of a higher purity than it had been in the past, according to the article. The problem, however, was that for Fogbank to work as intended in existing warhead designs, that previous level of impurity was actually essential. NNSA had to revise the process to ensure the final product was just as impure.

Investors as well, who handshake and even sign deals without wiring funds.

Sometimes that causes companies to abruptly shutdown and not meet payroll.

It should be criminal to sign a term sheet and not wire funds, and even in the case of a handshake deal employees should have recourse to get their last paycheck with that investor AND extend their H1B validity for an additional 6 months to find a job.
> why we [we]ren't we able to harness the computational model to identify it theoretically and develop a method to produce it practically prior to this.

Because the computational requirements are off the scale in the most literal sense. The search space is so large that you won't be able to come up with an improvement in efficiency for your search unless you guide it very carefully with experimentally obtained results and that's exactly what these people were doing as far as I understand it. You mix up a batch of stuff, test it for gross properties, do crystallography and then use the information from that to do some numerical simulations to check if your assumptions and observations hold up.

I don't think we had this compound before.
