I'm a European living in Greece, I drive a 2009 Suzuki Swift and have a wife and kid. It's a bit of a challenge to set it up to go for a trip on our island house during summer, and I seldom do any construction work more than simple stuff around the houses. But it is super easy to park around, has OK mileage, and the ferry ticket is cheaper than a big car and it is OK to park. It has a laughable boot, but if you fold the passenger seats it can be useful to move some bigger stuff.

There are trucks in Greece, just not that many twin cabs, mostly you will see them outside the city in the country.

Construction workers use mostly vans, and flatbed versions of vans (Like the ford transit) also called cab-over pick-up trucks. There are lots of small light cab-over trucks in the islands by Piaggio and Daihatsu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck#/media/File:PiaggioTruck... which are pretty hand and often provide a pretty big flatbed for stuff. There are some construction workers like electricians, plumbers etc that love to use panel vans or their passenger versions using folded seats like the Fiat Doblo (Similar to the Ram Promaster City).

We are actually thinking of buying a mild-hybrid version of the passenger version of a panel-van to cover our family needs.
I got my Sienna about 3 years ago. 21k miles and paid $20k cash for it. It's got 40k miles now but seems like it's easily going to cruise for another 125k miles. I'll drive it until the kids are done with school so probably another 7 years. I work from home and the kids school is 3 blocks away so only real driving is to vacations.

Besides the "cool factor" it's really the perfect vehicle.
"How to get some not-free services for free for a startup" :)

Good to know that you can get these free credits, but perhaps the OP should also post the total costs when he runs out of free.

Normally, Stripe is not cheap: 2.7% of every transaction is no small slice. Thankfully, I was able to get $70,000 of credits for which Stripe's fees wouldn't be applied.

My AWS bill would be $200-300 a month, except it's free because I got $5,000 in credits from AWS Activate.

I like using Retool as a simple Postgres interface and to do basic data visualization. One seat would cost me $10/month, except I asked them nicely for a startup credit, so now I have it for free.

This would cost me $89.95, but Twilio (Sendgrid's parent) also has a startup program, via which I got $150/month in credits.
In that case you can switch to it with no effort.
Yes but California's speed limit also "is" enforced, now and for some stretch of the recent past and for some stretch in the near future, in the habitual aspect. Language!
The way regular people take videos of destroyed bridges, damaged warships.. I wouldn't say so.
The videos regular folks filmed on incident locations were perfect for damage assessment to us western folks. Russian government may control media in general but social media and messengers are full of uncontrollable stuff (for now)
> meanwhile the Russian state has complete control of the media

Traditional mass media, sure, but there are a lot of people that have to know about a plane crash, and containing that information, even in Russia, is nontrivial.

If that were the argument, then the comparison with Linux would be meaningless. Hurd is much bigger than freertos, should everyone switch?

This is pretty off based on my understanding of Worldcoin. They want the opposite: they don't want to know who you are. They only thing they are interested in is are you a verified unique human, or operating the account of someone is a verified unique human (less than ideal but will happen).

The biggest use cases for this are to establish a finite limit of online accounts to combat inauthentic online behavior, to provide a robust way to vote, and to provide robust way to evenly distribute UBI.
Pedantic title aside - The author feels correct that it’s a semi-perpetual issue and that some discussions serve to benefit landowners, property owners, etc. But what’s the alternative? Not talking about the issues, trying to get the media to not use clickbait “crisis” titles, or somehow communicating to the government that the idea of creating more supply serves to benefit property builders? More supply helps like the author says, but the other options seem impossible to overcome.

> Politicizing the issue is unhelpful. We need win-win solutions. The right policy mix, backed by adequate government funding, is the only way forward; it would benefit everyone.

Easy to say for sure, but what do we do to get there?
I built a super cheap "traditional" dry sauna. It's basically an electric burner, a pot to increase surface area and humidity, a 25 foot roll of thermal foil, and a sleeping bag as the ceiling. I disassembled the burner, removed all the plastic pieces, and short circuited the safety cutoff. It's jank AF, but in the end less than 100$. AFAIK there aren't any dry saunas under $1000 - the heater alone is ~$200. Mine is also portable, so it's in the garage in summer and in the laundry room in winter. There are portable infrared saunas for ~$100, but most studies are on the "dry" type. I rubber band a block of ice to my phone and do my reading/social media in there, so the time cost is reduced. It's pitch black in there, so I have a very bright night light. No problems with air circulation - it doesn't get stuffy, even when I throw a dash of water in the pot.

2 years in and I haven't burned down the house... yet. I've since added more ceramic around the pot so burning myself would be very difficult.

Of course they have the skills and equipment to make airplane brakes. But think it through a bit. First the airline has to see that they need brakes. Then they have to find a potential supplier, likely an outfit that's already making brakes for Russian airplanes. Now that supplier has to reverse engineer the brakes on the Boeing/Airbus airplanes since they need to be compatible with everything that interfaces to them. That in itself is a substantial task. Now they have to find suitable materials, assuming there aren't proprietary metallurgies or materials in the American brakes.

After that engineering is done, they have to set up a supply chain, a manufacturing line, a quality control system, installation instructions (if they're copying something this may not be needed), and an ordering system. By this point, we'd be well into the millions of dollars if this was done in the US.

And all of this has to be financially worthwhile over some time horizon, unless the airline is also going to foot the upfront cost of all this. And bear in mind that resources dedicated to this may have to be taken away from parts they're already building and making money on.

So with all that, how likely is it to happen? I don't know but it's an interesting question.
A modern van versus that older Tarago would also at least be a) heavier b) have worse blind spots c) probably have a higher front bumper.

Although if you ask my kids, the answer would be their treehouse.
Completely false. Look to Tokyo to see proof that supply works. No city in Canada or the US is building enough. Not even close. The hand waving of "well supply must not work because it's not working right now" (meanwhile production is still low compared to historical standards) is an unserious argument.

What this article fails to mention: prices are only crazy in certain areas (due to amenities, nightlife, etc). That has always been true, and always will be, and isn't a bad thing.

Lastly: the "zero-sum" argument of "developers and landlords" versus everyone else is wrong as well. The people really making money right now are the homeowners in areas in which supply is constrained - not "evil developers"
24" is generally considered the upper limit of where 1080p is reasonable. 27" is getting to be a notably low PPI for text and UI, although it's generally fine for games and other motion content.

Normally at 27" you'd want at least 1440p these days, and that's been pretty standard for around 10 years now. Those Pixio PX276/PX277 monitors and similar have been around for a long time even as budget products - the panels they were using come from cast-offs from the premium panels.

Which isn't to say you won't find 25" 1080p monitors and similar junk in offices but... they're not buying you the good stuff either.

Not to say it's not fine for you! But generally today people would be looking for a higher res, either 1440p or 4K, either of which is under $250 these days for a 27", and often a pretty nice one (nano-IPS, 144 hz, wide color gamut, etc).
You mean to prove many theorems in statistics, right? You can learn and use plenty of statistics with very few weeks of calculus.
As I understand it, they tightened emission regulations for cars and trucks. Which I consider to be a good thing. Problem is, the truck regulations were far more lax, and SUVs over a certain size were considered trucks. It was immediately more economical to make trucks and SUVs which didn't require as much R&D to meet the emission targets.

And so here we are, at a point where most car models have been canceled by the big auto builders while their SUV offerings have exploded.
Nice work! It's gorgeous. Great job on finishing it: I think most woodworkers intend to build a cradle for their kids, and end up building them for their grandkids.

Ah… IB must’ve been why I found the discrete mathematics subject at university so much easier than my peers did - I’d already been exposed to a lot of it.
Let me save you the reading - the whole article is just about the semantics of the word "crisis".

"THE WORD CRISIS suggests something that is infrequent, surprising, and widely undesirable—something that leads to dire consequences unless it is brought under control."

"In contrast, Canada’s “housing crisis” is a permanent state of affairs that harms people in, or in need of, rental housing; roughly one-third of the country’s households."

Ok, great - you're right, it's not infrequent, so it's just a very bad thing and not a crisis.
Semantics … I’m rolling my eyes so hard that the article’s main point is that affordable housing as a problem is not a “crisis” by the strict definition of the word.

Agreed ... the service itself has to hold ground on its own.

> Amazon doesn’t actually own data centers; similar to how they don’t own warehouses.

Are you certain they don't own at least a fraction of the facilities they use? Amazon has very good credit (AA or AA-), which in a lot of cases probably means they have access to cheaper money than their landlord does. When you factor in the landlord's profit margin, it just doesn't make sense for Amazon to rent rather than to issue bonds and buy.

I imagine that they do rent as well, since it lets them respond more quickly to demand / business needs, but it would just be really weird for them not to own any of their own critical infrastructure.

Edit: Looks like it's a mix of leased and owned, on both counts

There is no crisis because it's been going on for a long time?

By this standard, what then is a crisis? Hurricanes? Normal state of affairs. Earthquakes ditto. Floods? Go look at any religion's mythology; same deal.

PHP is more like “imperative core, functional shell”. After all, a PHP request is a pure stateless function call. The only way it can modify state anywhere is with IO (eg store something in the database, write something to the session store, etc) and all data you accumulate in your PHP code gets purged after each request.
I think OP meant "radioactive fallout" which would be the source of "long term radiation." Fission bombs scatter radioactive dust of uranium, plutonium, and fission byproducts that continue to emit harmful radiation for thousands of years.

A fusion bomb with no fission stage would have a massive radiation blast, but leave no radioactive fallout. 10 minutes after the bomb, radiation levels would be more or less back to background levels. Is my understanding.
English in general seems to "abhor" accent marks and they are seen as "style" rather than orthography/punctuation. It's interesting because it came up recently that the New York Times had to apologize that their style guide required the removal of all accent marks and that drastically changed the meaning of a bunch of Vietnamese names and words they printed in an article (insultingly so).

One of the few notorious style guides the other way, for instance, is the more "upper-crust" New Yorker requires a diaresis mark in words such as "coöperation" (which is useful when discussing say a "chicken coop" versus a "chicken coöp" versus a "chicken coup", all things with very different meanings). To a lot of Americans diaresis marks look unnatural and that becomes one of the sillier markers that the New Yorker is "upper-crust" and "fancy", but teachers for decades have thought they would be a great addition to the language if adopted more widely.
Funny enough, the modern consumer Hummers were built on Chevy Suburban chassis for a long time. I have no clue what they're using now, but for the H2 (and I think the H3?) its just an uglier suburban.
Even so, unless we're charging the average semi truck 2500x more road tax, and vehicles of that weigh class which cause the overwhelming majority of wear, the roads will continue to be as abysmal as they currently are.

Minivans often have AWD varieties these days and its not like all SUVs have it. Other than "inclines" which I doubt most family cars ever see challenging ones, a minivan probably performs similarly to most SUVs on the market when it comes to gravel, dirt, ice/snow when equipped with the right tires.

No demand for vehicles? Not going to happen in the forseeable future.

No demand for SUVs? That's possible, but hard. Most auto makers have killed most (if not all) of their cars, meaning if you have a family, you're in a sardine can, a muscle car, or an SUV.

I own a Prius, because I don't have a kid. I loaned it out to family who had a kid, and it was a veritable clown car routine anywhere they wanted to go.

You don't need high heat (refractory) mortar for many outdoor fire pits or stoves.

It's mandated in many places (and for good reason) for indoor fireplaces, chimneys etc.

That's because regular mortar will crack when subjected to roaring fires, and you don't want the heat, fumes or fire itself to escape the chimney.

But e.g. for a fire pit it's usually no big deal, as the outside of the pit is presumably soil, or the open air.

Hello

Thanks for commenting directly.

As we know, ‘do not’ does not mean will not in the future.

Also can screenshots be added clearly outlining all the settings that will opt out and remain opt it?

As you might know, Zoom sometimes auto opts in on new or updated features.
I figure that if the devs are making decisions about what features to keep or drop based mostly on telemetry signals, that alone is enough reason to avoid using the software.
I once put the back seats down in my station wagon and loaded 0.75T of soil in 40lb bags. My suspension didn't like that, but the car did just fine.
Due to compound interest, our financial system requires exponential growth.

what if the exponent of exponential growth gradually approaches zero. technically it is still exponential. that possibility is often ignored. Japan for example has been able to sustain itself by gradually transitioning from red-hot growth in the 70s-80s to near zero growth.

That's unfair. If one person drives 1000 km annually in a big SUV and another person drives 100000 km annually in a small and efficient hybrid sedan, then obviously the latter emits more CO2. And if hypothetically they walked the same distance they would likely emit even more CO2 (assuming they eat mostly western-style heavily processed food), but would obviously pay no tax at all. I believe a better system is to include the CO2 tax in the fuel/food price.
