> build the affordable housing people actually want.

And the unspeakable little problem that people don't want to live around the people who will be living in the affordable housing people actually want. Hence, NIMBY.
It's not absurd because nobody is forcing that person to rent. Housing is a public resource, and contributing to that public resource shouldn't come without asterisks.

Cities need the non-owning class to function, and cities function better when the non-owning class has some degree of stability-- letting landlords juice their tenants for as much as possible is counterproductive to this.

The Internet really wasn't designed that way, though the modern Internet certainly shaped up that way for the most part. Most likely you get that highly asymmetric bandwidth because you're using an ISP piggybacking on cable TV service infrastructure, which unequivocally was originally designed for much more bandwidth in one direction than the other.
> by free will I mean the ability to choose otherwise given the exact same state of the universe. It turns out this concept is as unscientific as magic.

I think coarse-graining, bifurcation theory and chaos is the escape hatch here. You never know the micro state of any system, any small difference in state will be amplified once on macro scales.

If you define "choice" as "overcoming determinism" then you've just decided on a bad definition of choice.

If you assume determinism and observe people making choices in the world, then I can't see the utility of just asserting your definition above and claiming choices dont exist.

It's just as useful as saying, "chairs don't exist because everything is atoms"
> Any company that forces a return to office is going to lose some of their best employees, as those are the ones who will have the easiest time finding a better job.

Will they? These people are also (usually) going to be the best at knowing their own value, and they can negotiate exceptions to the policy (or their managers will know their value, and get them exempted preemptively).

As a way to do soft layoffs it seems pretty ingenious.

> the ability of large companies to buy up whatever is on the market,

And that has a simple cause: they created too much money to prop up both the housing and stock markets.

We're in an inflationary debt spiral that has a very high chance of going the same route as every other one in history; completely devaluing the currency, defaulting on debt, and issuing new currency. The rational play in such a scenario is to take on more debt to buy assets, because the debt will be wiped by inflation. Which is exactly the energy powering the debt spiral. It's nearly impossible to fix.

The Internet is designed for whatever we decide to design it for. The fact that most use cases are currently download-heavy does not mean other types of application could not be created if more bandwidth was available for upload.

If you told people about streaming >1080p video folks with 9600bps modems back in the day would have thought you were nuts. Certainly there's probably a point of diminishing returns, but why not give as many people 'too much' bandwidth and see if folks think of creative ways to use it?
This is one of those cases where I feel recyclability shouldn't be a huge concern: LEGO bricks are viable for several decades (so far) and they should generally not ever need to go to a landfill.

This is a case where reusing is a far better premise: LEGO could invest in initatives to return LEGOs for redistribution to younger generations at a discount or credit.

EDIT: Heh, another commenter shared a link, LEGO does indeed have such a program, called Replay.

Not useless at all. Every candidate will start with the expectation that it will be explained why they did not hit the maximum of the range. They also know the minimum.
I was more thinking if there is some frame collision and have a lot of data to send then overall robustness latency should be reduced? Similar like in a bus even if they travel at the same speed if you miss your bus or bus is full you have to wait. On the other hand if the bus is bigger with more sits or bus scheduled more frequent it's less likely you will have to wait. Also if bus breaks there is another one not far away behind to pickup passengers from broken bus.

> Comparatively, immigrants don’t have the purchasing power to compete

What makes you say that? As someone who's currently dating a Chinese immigrant I have been made aware of an entire world I didn't know existed. They often have much better family support so their parents will send money from home to help them buy a house.

From her masters program at university, which was all immigrants because universities here seem to be taking advantage of the fact that this is an easy path for immigration, everyone in her class (80 people) already have a house. From my group of friends at university, only 1 of them has a house, and 1 a condo (out of the ~50 people I loosely keep in touch with, all with good careers). We would too if my parents had been willing to meet her parents partway and give us a 50k loan, but they preferred to buy a 100k luxury car for themselves instead (they also refuse to acknowledge the current housing situation).

She also found out from WeChat that there are a number of Chinese landlords in Toronto who own blocks of houses by investing money on behalf of friends and family back home to get around foreign investment regulations, and nothing is being done to stop it.

edit: I'm not sure why this was downvoted, it may be anecdotal evidence, but nothing I said here is untrue, nor did I make any claims other than there being immigrants who are able to compete in the current housing market.

If anything, it offered the opportunity for humanity to reveal something beautiful, but instead, the audience took the opposite opportunity--something I honestly feel you have done here, but in words, which I almost felt as thorns in my bellybutton.
I didn't get the impression they were targeting TikTok as a platform, that's just where this happens to be occurring (statistically so, given the popularity of TikTok). I definitely got the impression the author was focusing on the technology itself, and how trivially accessible it is. PimEyes is actually less accessible than facecheck.id because PimEyes doesnt index social media and has a strong paywall. facecheck.id does not have those guards.

Edit: They were targeting TikTok somewhat in the platform's refusal to moderate this type of content, which I think is a fair criticism and known to be somewhat unique to TikTok. (None of the platforms have perfect moderation but TikTok's is notoriously inconsistent and robotic)
I said daily usage of this device, not my life in general. Read my comment properly.

> Why are those companies willing to pay so much?

Because they are buying assets with debt just like everyone else, and they don't actually care about ROI via rents, either due to "appreciation" (really, further inflation), or they're expecting the financial system to collapse.
> Repeat the same experiment in the middle of the day for an hour without putting a gun and knife on the table and you'll see a very different result.

Yeah, if you change the conditions you get different results.

> she was blatantly setting up the audience for this reaction

I agree that the reaction was predictable. I disagree that it detracts from the experiment/performance. In fact it's the opposite - if the reaction is random then the experiment is pointless - if the reaction is predictable - the experiment tells you something about human nature.
The most frustrating part of all of this is that the hedge funds were raking in record bonuses/paying new grads 400k+.

Large fossil spider found in Australia
This is where I'm at, at the moment; instead of burning it, melting it down etc, why not neatly pack it and sequester it in a water isolated landfill? (No water should trickle through the plastic and end up in the soil, I mean by that).

Plastic is already collected, sorted and bundled for recyling in a lot of places.

Then one of three things will happen. One, the sequestered plastic will just sit there for eternity, eventually breaking down into... something, some kind of hydrocarbon mass I suppose. Two, future technology finds a way to reuse plastic as a resource, but with better results than current-day tech. Or three, they deploy a plastic-eating bacteria or enzyme that processes the plastic back down to raw somethings in the span of years instead of hundreds.

(I don't know what plastic breaks down to, either assisted or naturally. I'm afraid to ask. But as long as it's sequestered it should be fine)

But yeah. Landfill and storage is probably better than burning or using more energy to create a subpar product.

> Genuine question: why does it need to be investigated? Is there a law against rich psychopaths being psychopaths with their own money?

Because if there isn't, there should be. It's not good policy to let psychopaths run amok. An investigation is the kind of thing that could get the political wheels turning against those "rich psychopaths."

But I wouldn't be surprised if something like this is illegal already. It has a smell of anti-competitive collusion.
Honestly flabbergasted by your reply. How did she bait anyone? How did she set herself up to be victimized? People could have just… not been violent. That would have been an entirely plausible outcome, yet here we are.
Actually housing, even if small, works better than homeless encampments. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
People really do think there should be short-term bandaid solutions to these problems, and that somehow landlords will just absorb cost increases that they get hit with without passing them on somehow, or just exiting the market.
> coronavirus and many other viruses can trigger

Does COVID trigger this at a higher rate than other viruses? Or did the overall rate of viral infection increase due to covid?

I suspect the answers are “we don’t know” and “not substantially”.
You skipped the core of the question though. Define "proper living situation." There was a time when travelers would sleep in a big bed piled on with other people in the back of a tavern, without giving it a second thought. Not too long ago whole nations of people native to north america lived in tents made of animal skin from cradle to grave, and were perfectly satisfied.

Someone has a backpack full of belongings and that's all they need, many of these people don't even need a kitchen because they never cook. They're social, they want their days spent in shared spaces. How is this worse than a hostel?

I think the idea of "proper living condition" is as varied as the number of people you ask. I wouldn't live in one of these shared spaces, but I do live an equally unorthodox lifestyle and my housing situation would be considered inadequate by many, and I love it. I can understand why someone would want the minimum private space to sleep and a shared space bustling with activity and full of like minded people. As long as people have sanitation and aren't sharing diseases and bedbugs and what not I don't see a problem with any mode of living and sheltering, and that's what it really is all about, shelter.

Making a monster: how to build a budget gaming PC without losing your mind
Ive seen your Reaganite "the government and regulations are the enemy" comments since Ive been born, and it was crap then and it's crap now. In fact, dereg is how we've gotten to this point.

Housing has been turned from "a place to live" to a "place we can extract rents to make bank". And with the nature of landlording, the rents are priced to "mortgage+profit", so they get their mortgage paid on our backs and grow their personal wealth, and top it off with even more profit.

Policies that include a highly progressive tax after 2 homes should definitely be enacted, along with proper policing of flop houses (airbnb) in non-hotelier situations. Time to de-profit-ize housing.
Interesting model! Testing it locally, I could see that one issue in the model is that there is a lot of symmetry to the results. Enforcing that players in the team are ordered was not useful and did not help. Enforcing that the team positions were ordered helped a lot though, by extracting the `[position[p] | p in team]` expression as a separate array `team_position` and enforcing increasing on it.

With HiGHS the solve-time went from 1m7s on my machine (M1 Max) to just 7.23s. The model is solved at the root node with this change, as opposed to 1430 nodes without it.

Using OR-Tools 9.7 with free search enabled (see Configuration editor in the MiniZinc IDE) with the new model took 10.3 seconds. With 10 threads it is solved in 1.56s.

If you're on a cloud provider, I'd say just use their offering. For small/medium amounts of messages (single digit millions a day) the cost will be trivial.

A lot of frameworks already have queue/job libraries with adapters (so you're not really locked in) and cloud providers are highly scalable and fault tolerant.

It seems silly to try to build into Postgres something that is already cheap and readily available unless you find yourself in a situation where standing up additional infra is hard (embedded, certain on premise)

I don't think this has much to do with tech at all. This is a combination of design and materials science, with a bit of product development sprinkled in.

You can design CPUs all you want, or write kernels for Mars rovers in your spare time, your opinions on what should be on the back of a phone are no more or less valid than the average consumer.

In the end, someone with more experience in this field weighed different options, and came to the decision to use this type of glass for this phone. My phone has a glass back as well and honestly I don't really care either way. I haven't cracked it by accident, but perhaps my phone is less hard than the new iPhone?

I do prefer the feel of glass or ceramic over the feel of most phone plastics, though. The Oneplus One did something special with their plastic back which I appreciated, but the bendable plastic of previous phones felt a lot more like cheap, disposable devices. Other people swear by their plastics and power to them, it's just a matter of opinion anyway. Plastics have the same crack-versus-scratch problem when it comes to design, most plastics are just optimised to scratch much quicker so they don't crack.
it was funded by the government right? like a precursor to NBN

It was always privately owned: built by Labtam (I guess they saw it as a complementary service to their X terminal product), then acquired by Solution6, then OzEmail, then UUnet. I think they had some government clients though. Certainly Australia Post was one.

For some reason I can see the Labtam logo in my mind's eye, but I can't remember why I know it. We used a lot of JTEC gear in the olden days. Did they end up buying Labtam maybe? I have no idea any more!

They had a big business in the 90s selling X terminals (see my root-level comment). I'd guess that's most likely where you saw the brand. After that subsided it looks (from the Wayback machine) like they just did general electronic devices design/manufacture, before eventually going out of business in about 2016.

I won't convince you because you've got your anecdotes. Though I'd say if a public school counselor, parents and teachers all tell a 17 year old it's "college or bust", it's laughable to argue "ah, those teenagers should have been rational, informed consumers of professional training and eschewed the advice of every trusted adult in their life".

The instruction set of the CPU I use to reply to this comment is from 2018. It has been a long and constant evolution from the CPU architectures of the 70s to what it uses today. JavaScript is old and kept improving too. It does a lot more and much faster than the first version of JavaScript developed in about a week.

Standards are very useful, but we can't keep using old things forever. We stopped using HTTP 0.9 or TLS 1.0 for example.

Spending time to support unused obsolete hardware may be fun, but good luck to get funding for that activity.
