Your observation seems to make sense.

Intuitively, if we extract energy from the tides, tides will be less tall and the speed of water will be smaller. Ocean currents will slow down too.

What I don't know is, less friction on the seafloor means that we would actually make Earth slow down less faster than it would do if left alone?

I'm glad you realise that.
Housing is different than other kinds of assets because it is also essential for nearly everyone to have a home. Most people in the market for a home only have their paychecks and credit from the bank. Median wages are quite a bit lower than FANG salaries and banks only give credit to people with appropriate incomes buying appropriately priced homes. Governments also need to keep people in housing and voters will kick out any government that fails too hard at that.

So unlike bitcoin, housing cannot stay irrational and divorced from fundamentals forever. Real people need to use real paychecks and actual local credit unions need to look at those purchases and see a safe bet.

If that system stays out of whack for too long, everything collapses, the banks’ business model, the housing market’s prices, the ruling party’s majority, rule of law as the people resort to squatting and the capitalist system that failed in the simple task of keeping people out of the rain and cold.
I'm real confused by the comments here. Chromebooks were most definitely a good deal for schools. They are incredibly cheap; half of the appeal to me is that they are effectively disposable and don't need to be fawned over. Who cares if they can't be squeezed for the same length as a $1000 laptop? You can buy three of them.

The problem I see is that school budgets don't account for such expenses on the regular, so schools end up using hardware for years and years after EOL.

Either way, seems like a good deal to me.
It's not like Windows is any better, and Linux is kind of a free for all.

Which will not happen because of the NIMBYism you describe. Local and state governments tend to have a high representation of property owners relative to the folks who really need this change to happen. It's "F you got mine" applied to housing policy.
AI hallucination is a big concern when apply it in medical field.

I asked some questions about android emulator, it gave a non-existing argument as talking as an expert, it can be easily/quickly confirmed as a wrong/made-up answer.

Oh it looks so easy now. Like I said it's been a few years since I read those instructions so things have probably changed. And I haven't actually used my chromebook since I lost the power cable in 2019.
If they're smart insurers, they would leave before there are actual losses, because there's a pretty significant lag time between when you write the policy and when the customer makes a claim. By the time there's a major disaster, it's too late: they'll be bankrupt if they didn't collect premiums at a rate that makes the disaster survivable.

If you believe that insurance is still profitable at the rates where other insurers leave the market, the rational response is to start your own insurance company. Run the numbers and prepare a presentation to investors; if your numbers are rational and convincing, you can capture the market for yourself and reap the profits.

Have you thought about writing up al of your research? It’s fascinating. I’m also curious if you track your blood tests to see if any metals are making it into your bloodstream from this process.

> (it's called Pthalo Blue -- yes, of Bob Ross fame. Phalo Green has Cobalt IIRC, not the same, dunno about toxicity there. Check to make sure the dye is pure Copper Pthalocyanidine on the manufacturers website)

Phthalo green is copper based like phthalo blue, except with more chlorine substitutions.

I’d stay far away from any dyes or watercolors containing cobalt, cadmium, chromium, or the other heavy metals unless they’re known safe (B12 contains a cobalt atom so they’re not universally toxic but better safe than sorry). They’re safe as oil paints when they’re not water soluble but I don’t know if drying oils on skin are a good idea.

Except those who feel that prices will go down further and don't want to be left holding the bag. It's a classic prisoner's dilemma.

With the current interests rates, this is straight up magical thinking.
This isn't possible in every industry but it certainly is in the software space. With modern tooling and automation, one person can accomplish quite a lot.

As with most paradigm shifts, many are sleeping on this. But expect small teams to be behind more and more of the most influential software of the next decade. And the traditional mindset on what is a company and how growth happens will also evolve.
Coincidentally I'm about 2.5 years into daily-driving a ThinkPad X230 (made in 2012/2013 or so), which I bought secondhand and am running OpenBSD on. Computers could be used a lot longer than they typically are. This one's now surpassing 10 years :)

> MCAS produces an intermittent fault, not a continuous one, therefore you are not supposed to run that checklist.

Again, if you're a pilot and want to live, stop parsing sentences like Bill CLinton and parse them like a pilot. Remember, I worked on the 757 trim system. I guarantee you that everyone there would ridicule your interpretation. Do you really imagine it has to run all the way to the stops to satisfy you that it is runaway?

> they can't keep aircraft systems that can fail and kill you a secret from the pilots!

The pilot had everything he needed to know to save the airplane. He did not need to know the cause of the runaway trim, just how to stop it.

> the overspeed was not caused by the thrust levers being at full

When you're in a dive, it behooves you to pull the thrust levers back (and they were at full). Overspeed can tear the airplane apart. It just takes a second to pull the levers back, and reducing the airspeed would have made their attempts at manual trim workable.

Frankly, if I was teaching ground school and encountered a student who made arguments like yours, I'd wash him out. I'm reminded of that episode of The Office where the characters were driving using navigator software. The software directed them to drive into a swamp, and the characters were arguing over whether they should follow the directions into the swamp or not. There's a reason that airliners still have pilots in them and not have computers run it all.
Sure, but the author is implying that rent has grown 3x income and that is simply not true.

I think most places outside of the US has fixed term lengths of max 5 years for which you can lock in your interest rate.
Agreed. Largely because they have the capital to hold on to the property, and also for as long has anyone has been alive, in most places owning a house has been either a safe or unbelievably lucrative investment.
I fully supported the protests by major subreddits. My problem was that a lot of the smaller subs couldn't see the forest for the trees and, ostensibly for the sake of the survival of Reddit, destroyed themselves. The subreddit that gets five hundred posts per day bounces right back after two days offline. The niche sub that gets about ten posts per day, however, doesn't survive being shut down for two weeks. A lot of the mods seemed to be fine with the destruction of their communities as long as it was them who got to pull the trigger and not the admins.
The notion of lots of empty houses and flats in London is severely exaggerated. Sure, there are some tiny areas where lots of owners are people who have multiple homes, and so spends little time each place. But most of London haven't got that much empty space.

The London rental market is if anything completely overheating at the moment due to lack of supply.

At first glance that video looks like a reaction to transgender sports issues and I have no interest in that as I cannot trust the presentation to be unbiased as it is a hotbutton cultural issue.

The first slide is specifically referencing studies which claim that there is no difference pre-puberty and has a heading labeled 'the problem'.

I've spent way too many hours this week looking for a better model for configurable timers than cron.

Cron is kind of awful, not just the syntax but the logic. You can't say "Every three days but not on Monday, if it would land on a Monday, defer that run till the next selected day".

There is also too many ways to say the same thing, so GUI editors are hard.

Some piece of software we had authenticated against a server, but everything was done on the client. The client executed SQL against the server directly, etc. Basically, the server checked to see if this client would put you over the number of licenses you purchased and that's it.

I had run it against a disassembler, found the part where it performed the check, and was able to change it to a straight JMP and then pad the rest of the space with NOPs.
Considering most of those houses in question here were bought at 3% interest rates it seems unlikely that the wealthy would sell at a loss rather than just switch from STVR to medium-term or long term rentals where they would make less money. The housing market is still short on supply and at the purchase prices/ interest rate combo they have a lot of room to be able to ride it out.

Besides, its not residential homes that are a ticking time bomb, its commercial properties... Office workers are not going back to the office.

> You can try to minimize it all you want

Far too many people are so selfish that they get hung up on questions like “Could this cause death or grevious bodily harm to me or others on the road?” and do not have the ethical fortitude or wherewithal to focus on “What could the abstract concept of ‘transformative’ mean at an unknown point in the future?”

> there are no jokes about how unimportant the train is compared to fertilizer.

This is a good point. There is basically no meaningful difference between a self driving Tesla and a train. The only explanation for why you don’t hear people discussing the myriad times that commuter trains veer into traffic or otherwise behave in dangerous and unpredictable ways must be collective ignorance and hypocrisy.
Yes, it was a thing on some models. It was easy to do, but opening a laptop can be scary to many people and it voided the warranty.

I have no disagreement on the truthiness of words, my comment was really only about the enjoyment of your readers. Regardless, it sounds like you have a vision for what you want your writing to be, and so far as I know, it's working well for you.

As for feedback, since you asked, I'll be honest and say that it does read pretty boring... Very monotone with too many idioms. Feels like what you read from schoolchildren writing about a topic they're not really interested in.

I'll also say, there's no _you_ in this writing. Reviewing the latest entry, "Practice and Experience" - no stories, metaphors, or even examples of real events to impress your point. People understand a lot through storytelling, often the only takeaway we will have will be a story or metaphor. More importantly though, they are an opportunity to identify with the reader and share something about you and your life.

Apologies if that felt harsh.
I wasn't privy to too much of their financial details, but I know the rough price of the house. Assuming we were "average", based around average income for the year we moved there, it was about 40% of the average us income.

disappointing but not unexpected. These are just other "irrelevant power users" to reddit, but for the sake of pretending to care they at least try to keep up the appearance of caring.

I'm curious about this. We certainly won't get any more coal, but a whole lot of carbon gets subducted into the mantle regularly. Some gets turned into diamonds. Some gets blown out of volcanoes. Is the oil we pump out of the ground produced directly in the continental crust or is it generated from some of this carbon subducted with oceanic crust that has been transformed by some process and then made its way back into continental crust?

I'm lazy, so I'm hoping some geologist will stop by and educate me.
The source is available. You have the right to fork it. If there’s something in the propriety release that’s harmful, you might have a case - but all Microsoft is doing here is counting on people being willing to consume the builds rather than coming together to use the source code.

Basically: Microsoft is betting that people care more about free as in beer than exercising software freedom. So far, they seem to be correct.
Do you have some data to back up this assertion? For me what I see in the numbers is that Chinese domestic quality of living improvements correlate better with increases in energy consumption than does US imports (or Chinese exports).

What is also interesting is that China's "energy intensity" - energy used per unit of GDP is pretty flat, if wealthier nations were exporting energy demand via imports I would expect that number to be climbing. I am at a bit of a loss as to how to determine exactly what is going on TBH.
Well if my home price decreased in value by 20% that would probably give me roughly the same payment at a 7% interest rate (versus the 3.25% I currently have). The issue of course being that my house has slightly increased in value during the time that interest rates started to increase. When you combine those two things together if I bought my house today I would pay about $1,000 more a month for the same 3 bedroom house that I closed on not even 2 years ago.
The article claims that the one-handed backhand is "on the way to extinction" is because of "the increasing role of power and velocity in the sport. Even clay courts, historically the slowest surface, play hard and fast these days. Players, who spend more and more time in the gym, keep getting bigger and stronger, and now hit forehands at more than 100 miles per hour."

So, taking that as the reason for wielding a two-handed backhand, I only posited that "If you're not a tennis pro, dealing with the power play, there is no point to the two-handed backhand" which makes sense in light of the article and doesn't "generalize my idiocyncratic experience to everyone". There is a condition attached in my statement which you omitted in your quote; that condition means it is not an absolute generalization.

"Ignorance" can only be applied to intellectual matters, not to a backhand; not spending time on a tennis backhand doesn't constitute "ignorance", especially if I know that it exists and what it is for.

"Solipsistic" means that I believe a world view in which only my consciousness is real. That is rather a huge leap from my statement about the two-handed backhand.

Please, get a grip.

the right kind...of cooking videos make us better cooks...100% just like the right kind of recipe books. There are tonnes of both kinds.

I learnt to cook legitimate indian cuisine watching www.vahchef.com videos. I learnt to cook legitimate korean food by reading www.maangchi.com recipes. And i learnt bonafide Persian cooking from "Food of Life".

I think books, websites and videos all make for better cooks...so long as the recipe writer is aware of their assumed knowledge and can consisely deliver the tricks of the trade within a recipe that holds the cooks attention, be it on the page or in the video.

The written recipes from Vahchef were actual legit trash - with missing ingredients and steps. But his videos...un believable!
