Eating locally is more carbon intensive and only results in worse food. Long distance shipping doesn't matter at all compared to the last mile, and small producers are less productive than large ones. (Also, small business owners are usually evil, especially if they're farmers, who often end up using slave labor because they can't afford an HR department.)

Luckily, most places that claim to serve local food are just lying.
Prices are rising because inflation because pricing are rising because inflation

Still saves a lot of money a lot of time and I've never had a problem with a booking company and I've booked a lot of things via booking companies.

That doesn't mean I won't go to a hotel website if it's a chain I have points with or I won't avoid a booking company that looks sus.

Eventually you figure out whether you should be using a booking site or the hotel website.

I have never experienced a faulty or broken usb c, but that says nothing off course. Android user for years now so I have have had it for years.
As far as I can tell that's the most common IPO company cycle repeating itself.

The early investors and founders cash out first and the public that bought into the unsustainable growth trajectory are left with a failing company.

This is so common I truly don't understand why people still buy into these companies.
This honestly.

I know its not for everyone, but if theres any windows/linux/android users out there wondering why the Apple ecosystem is so sticky, this is one of the small but many reasons why.

"Harms children". To make the analogy fair, imagine you're keeping a diary, and recording the observable information of every child that walks past your house. $2k seems like a reasonable fine.

It's worse than that. The serving size changes the resulting label. A lot of the high-protein breads have the same composition and are sliced slightly thicker to hit the 3.5g mark so they can round up to 4g per slice and appear to be more protein rich in composition.

I don't think anything is "crumbling". Some companies got a large amounts of investment and sky high valuations on a product they were practically giving away. Now they need to figure out how to make those valutions work and return that investment. That sucks for them, but that doesn't prove that its impossible to sustain an open source business to make a certain piece of software.

I use open source software because quality of certain things isn't very important to me, and I don't want to pay for them. If push really came to shove, I could replace large portions of my stack myself using something handrolled. If enough people who want something for free and are willing to build it themselves come together, they can make something that competes with large companies. The large companies in turn can start releasing their product for free in order to maintain market dominance, or they can let themselves be replaced. There's no "free lunch" here, its all simple econmics.

Youtube has largely the same struture: for a while, videos were being made by people doing it as a hobby, then by people doing it as a job, but alone in their bedroom. Now some of them have large production teams and expensive facilities. It sure would suck for them if they stopped being able to make payroll, but I can go back to watching amateurs anytime. Your business model is your problem, not mine.
Real world scenario:

Last year I booked 7 days at the Hilton San Francisco Financial District for a hybrid work/pleasure trip. We arrived late and really didn’t like the hotel. We checked out the next day and went to the Hilton Parc 55. The first Hilton charged us for one night when we checked out.

That simple change would have been next to impossible through a third party where I prepaid the third party and they paid the hotel. It definitely wouldn’t have been seamless
Diesel cars at one point made up the majority of European car sales before collapsing. This is still short-sighted thinking.

People really need to stop thinking about current market position and start thinking about the conclusion of each technology. Just like how diesel ultimately led to another fossil fuel burning ICE car, BEVs only lead to heavy and expensive vehicles that are highly dependent on exotic metals. What is the solution to that last problem? It has to be a vehicle that is both zero emissions and doesn’t have weight and resource dependency problems. If you think in that way, you pretty much always end up with a hydrogen powered car of some sort.

It only takes one misstep to destroy the goodwill a company has. Why they shoot themselves in the head with unilateral demands like this is a head scratcher. Company bigwigs like to believe they can dictate culture until they're forced to scramble to save face. But by then most have disengaged.
Because Amercains bitch about "We can't build anything anymore" otherwise? Because a ready and well-practiced, upskilled workforce is important to a country, in everything to thr economy to wartime preparedness? Because Americans will continue to demand cars, and it seems pertinant to allow at least a path or two for a secure, national brand?

This is a tech forum. What happens when networking equipment only comes from other nations (that won't subsidise their industry either)? We end up having Huawei as the economic choice. A brand known for having deep ties to a political party that America is increasingly likely to enter at least a cold war with.

You're asking why supporting home-grown is bad like the last 4 decades of offshoring wasn't destroying what remains of middle Americans.
It reads like a rehashing of the pretext for hiring H1-Bs instead of domestic employees-- they're trying to use RTO resistance as the reason now.
> the private housing sector is not going to build sufficient housing stock to tank prices in... the private housing sector.

> yet builders are loathe to invest in a major way, fearing a downturn that will impact their profit margins, even though they stand to make big bucks.

The second quote doesn’t flow from the first. The second quote is correct - builders aren’t building not because they don’t want to tank housing prices, but because of concerns about the economy. In a capitalist system with thousands of players, it there are expectations of profits there will be construction even if it drives down the profits of the industry as a whole (that’s the free market, eliminating excess profits). The issue has nothing to do with mass collusion to keep prices high and everything to do with concerns about the economy and the current interest rate environment.
The interesting thing for me is that a lot of people assume Skyscanner does what Google Flights actually does... Maybe a decade or so ago it was only an aggregator or maybe it was always a booking agent that just felt more transparent at the time, so no one noticed.

As an aside, Google Flights is a fantastic — but at least in my recent experience — prices for multi-city bookings are off by 10-20% then the price quoted by the airline. Enough to make me think the taxes are just omitted or calculated differently...
You're assuming prices wouldn't have increased by even more if the apartments weren't built. I'm not sure why. Increasing supply has absolutely made housing more affordable relative to where it would be if supply hadn't expanded. You're just not expanding supply fast enough to see a decrease in cost.

I am not worried so much about synthetic rubber tires on bicycles. The scale of the pollution from bike tires is microscopic in relation to car and truck tires.

The side of our roads are covered in pieces of damaged tires. My apartment near a freeway was always covered by a thin layer of the micro debris emitted by car tires. It's insane.
I think shinkflation affects my groceries across the board (Denmark). I don’t even buy soda.
Trading of a worker’s labor to a company is not a fair deal between two equal parties. The power imbalance between a company and a worker is massive. Which is why many labor contracts have an end clause and mass layoffs are banned or heavily penalized in the same contracts (sometimes even directly by the state in some jurisdictions).

This is where the idea that either party to the transaction has some implicit future commitment to the other come[s] from. In many (most?) labor contracts this commitment by the company to keep their workers after they’ve been hired—unless a termination is justified by a good and demonstrable reason—is codified in a contract between the company and a labor union. It is not “an anachronism from a hundred years ago” it is very much a reality of today (at least for unionized workers).

The idea that companies and workers are equal parties and we should expect similar behavior between them is a flawed logic that assumes idealism only asserted by free market capitalism and has never been demonstrated in the real world. Unlike layoff protections, which have been in used continuously for over a century, and has very much proven its worth.

Make such larges fines you end up with even fewer companies and the European Union gets even poorer, people keep wondering why their standards of living keep getting worse and GDP hasn't increased in over a decade. There's a reason European companies have such low tech salaries; even places like Singapore, Shanghai and the gulf countries have higher average tech salaries now than e.g. France or Germany.

The claim being that to back a loan with new “printed” money is necessarily inflationary.

Loans backed with saved/invested funds are non-inflationary, because the saver gives up their ability to consume with those funds, in proportion with the consumption the borrower takes on.
That's not quite enough. The kernel and associated device drivers are also "interfaces" that a program binary invokes, so all the kernel code paths triggered by the program calling into the kernel should be inspected too.

That said pretty sure the GP hasn't had a deep dive into whether say the C library or Linux kernel has some funny O(n^4) stuff happening.

Those connectors seem like solid metal, seems like it would take ludicrous force to break it like that.

So would a cable side USB-C connector - but in agreement with the grandparent comment that tab in the center port is pretty flimsy… and the ports themselves seem pretty wear happy, similar to how micro usb tended to break the port first after repeated insertion vs. a more easily replaceable cable.
I’m a bit short on time and can’t dig into the code, but maybe somebody can answer this for this or the original version:

In what data structure are the blocks in Minecraft actually stored? And by which mechanism are they quickly retrieved to check which block the player was hitting?

I would think the model partitions the space with an octree and their position jumps from parent node to parent node. Then at each bit we just have to go through 8 elements to find a block and all the entities for this partition.
US housing, especially in its most fungible form, the single-family house, is probably the most favored asset class in the history of human civilization. Act accordingly, and expect others to act accordingly. Expect others to act accordingly when you try to break that.

Unfortunately, housing the investment business only looks like , and often moonlights as, housing-housing.
Or you use the correct types and avoid these "problems" alltogether.

My USB-C devices include: headphones, earbuds charging case, laptop, tablet, VR headset, and Switch

My non USB-C device is: eBook reader

I do have a bunch of Lightning cables, but I also have more than enough USB-C cables because literally everything else uses it, and I'm looking forward to not needing to bother with carrying a special cable around for one device anymore.

The eBook reader is a minor nuisance with micro USB charging, but battery life is long enough that for short trips I don't even bother bringing a cord for it. And around the house I can unplug my Qi pad and use its micro USB cable.

EDIT: forgot one more USB-C device, it's also on my Ryobi battery bidirectional charger. Don't use that frequently, picked it up for power outages. But it means the Ryobi provided charger in the garage which I sometimes use for headphones will be able to charge my next phone as well.
It can't be this simple. I know that at a strictly mathematical level it feels like it must be true, like the "Calories In = Calories Out" model of weight loss, and yet, like CICO, feels useless as a principle.

(CICO's problem: as a mathematical relationship it has to be true, but it's too dumb to be helpful: what controls calories out? all of: exercise + resting metabolism + how many calories you hold onto + how much you exhale + how much you excrete, and most of these are regulated by your desire for exercise, eating, etc. -- so while it is the value of d(weight)/dt, it tells you nothing about the first-order term that you should actually control; it's a mix of terms of different orders.)

Similarly, there are clearly multiple "first-order effects" at play that are producing the final housing costs. It's not the case that there is one first-order effect, supply and demand, and then a bunch of 2nd-order corrections. I wish I could clearly see what the full equation is though.

My poorly-informed guess is that the actual first-order model looks like this: "real inflation" is actually much higher than the reported numbers and is best reflected in housing prices (and healthcare prices). The reported number of inflation is much lower because certain sectors --- electronics, food, and other mass-produced consumer goods --- have had their prices heavily suppressed by exploiting global economies or controlled by policy. So lower-income workers, because they can afford smartphones and food, don't feel as poor as they actually are. But housing prices are tracking money supply, which is mostly (incredibly disproportionately) going to high-earners, like many of the tech employees here and all the economic winners of the last fifty years; the incongruity explains why everything is so expensive. At the margin, more supply just gives the rich people more places to park their money -- because they have so much money. I expect that's the best model of e.g. Toronto and NYC.

Put differently: if you took tech salaries and San Francisco rents and divided them both by four, they'd feel like reasonable numbers. Everyone else is getting burned by that.
I've yet to have a USB C port fail for what it's worth.

Apple had plenty of opportunities to be involved in the development of USB C (they are on the forum). They also could have opened up lightning as an option for USB C. Fighting against using common standards for so long has left them to the whims of others. Be part of the global tech stack instead of a dead end.

Look at my post immediately previous to yours. It links to a Lending Tree study that indicates an inverse relationship between vacancy rate and median home price. Hawaii is an obvious outlier, but interestingly, so is New Jersey. (What's going on in Jersey?) The data in this study is broken down by state; SMSA would probably be better, but I didn't spend a lot of time digging up data.
This is exactly it. Many people have become users of ChatGPT, in the same way that plenty of people became users of TV by watching it through the shop window.

The First Website (1991)
There's endless housing being built where I am, but it's all massive 4-6 bedroom, 4 car garage monstrosities that nobody but the 0.1% could afford to live in, and meanwhile service industry folks can't find enough places to live so they're having to drive an hour+ to get to the area to work.

Even if it were practically given away, nobody but the ultra-wealthy could afford the taxes on the huge chunk of land, the utilities, or the upkeep.

The argument for building "any" housing is just trickle-down bullshit based on the notion that lots of wealthy people are hanging around in housing that others could afford. Except that by building more housing for the wealthy, you lift that area up - there's more market and demand for luxury shops, services, and so on..so commercial real estate becomes more expensive, and so on.

The other reality is that people in luxury housing don't like non-luxury housing near them, so they do things like buy up property near them, tear it down or renovate it, turning it into more luxury housing.
It's really unfortunate that this glaring issue stops wide adoption. The slash through the zero should have been the default, very silly for the official release to omit that.

To the tune of 8-10% annually in a borderline deflationary economic environment - which was the case for most of the last decade?

I don't think this increase can be attributed to inflation.

This is not the case. You can easily create an account on both in the EU as an adult even if you're a child.

You seem to think fining is great, but consider the EU pretty much miss the boat on the internet economy. Consider even the richest country in the EU barely even compares to only California, let alone the entire country of USA. Bolstering their economy and innovation is better than strangling everything with regulation, but to each their own.
I think lack of pay is a big issue as well. (most) everyone has a number where they'd get on a ladder and learn say roofing, but it's typically much higher than $22.50 an hour.

Did similar a few times in the past year. There is no difference, as soon as I check in it's hotel's discretion. Some hotels are accommodating in this way, some will want to squeeze the full amount and stick to the rules.

Edited: I see that you changed length of booking, at first I misread. That's possible, especially if booking listing doesn't take a pre-payment. But generally if I am uncertain I find and book two options with easy cancellation and then cancel the other one if I like the first one (or not cancel and move the next day). Easy enough when you have one panel for all your bookings.

But I travel not in home country, in home country sure you know how stuff works you can just call your hotels or sweet talk reception staff and negotiate everything.
That's not what a "red hot market" means.

"Nothing great was ever built without a speculative bubble." -- Fred Wilson

The way this normally works out is that the price goes up; the high price attracts many independent firms into the market; these firms all go gangbusters trying to supply the market to cash in on the money in the sector; they solve the supply problem; the market ends up being oversupplied as all the new firms keep building; prices crash; lots of these firms declare bankruptcy; and then their resources are redeployed in the next speculative bubble.

If you're talking about "the private housing sector" or "the builders" as a monolithic entity, you've already lost. There should be individual builders who all respond to price incentives and build what the market demands, not a cartel of builders who have the ability to dictate local policy & prices.
why not? if my home value falls, presumably the one I'm going to move into fell as well.
