I have bad luck selecting good used cars. I pay the premium for new, and then keep them for at least ten years. The used cars I find are either totally shot mechanically, or have unpleasant smelling destroyed interiors. Or both in the case of the one I lost the most money on.

Youtube music is actually pretty remarkable. I'm a jazz musician. One of the remarkable features of YouTube is that if you're looking for a particular recording of a jazz tune (e.g. Lou Donaldson's The Masquerade Is Over, on the Blues Walk album, 1953), it's just there. The depth of the collection is quite amazing.

NIMBYs don't win all the time.... And in a lot of places they do have near total control.

NIMBYs are usually suburbanites, and if they're in a smaller municipality they can exert a large amount of control over the city government and planning process. The auto dependent single family suburb has been heavily propagandized and ingrained in American culture that many times no one questions it, and those advocating for some walkable, or mixed use areas are in the minority.

Just look at California, the state requires every city adopt and update a multipart plan for various purposes. One of those parts is called the "Housing element", it requires cities to plan and zone for a minimum amount of growth and affordable housing. over the last year or two many of these plans have come up for renewal and lots of the smaller (and especially more conservative) cities have been reluctant, or out right refused to meet the states requirements. They want to keep their car oriented suburban small community, affordability be Damned.

The state did pass this fun law that created this thing called "the builder's remedy". Where if a city does not have a compliant housing element the city loses its discretion and must approve any permit that meets its building code, sans any density requirements. And these rights vest, so even if the city latter approves a compliment those builders can still utilize those permits. (Carrot and stick approach to getting cities to comply)

But this is only after decades of the California housing affordablility crisis growing and yimby advocates fighting for less restrictive zoning.

TL;DR NIMBYs are ussally the majority (or at least the louds and most engaged).
If you're looking to remove outliers, Kelley Blue Book also tracks the average (likely mean) of new non-luxury vehicle sales, which was $44,626 in September. Non-luxury is about 80% of sales.

Also, concerning the lower end of sales:

"But the news isn’t all good. Only one car sold for an average price under $20,000 last month. The Mitsubishi Mirage’s average transaction price in July was $19,205.

Every other car with a list price under $20,000 sold for over $20,000 on average. It’s not a large group. Automakers increasingly focus on building more expensive cars, trimming affordable models from their lineups. In December 2017, automakers produced 36 models priced at $25,000 or less. Five years later, they built just 10." [1]

There was a mention, but no discussion of the sea blockade by Israel. Blocking the shared border by Israel and Egypt seems reasonable, but can anyone share the details of the sea blockade by Israel that according to this article and Wikipedia has been in place since 2007? That border is seemingly not shared with either neighbor and just opens to the Mediterranean.
Coming from a more practical background, it is hard for me to want to spend 40k+ for a vehicle.
I am looking at getting two vehicles in the coming years: A commuter, and a vehicle that can carry stuff (lumber, soil, etc).
For the commuter I am looking at the 2024 Chevy Equinox (~starting mrsp 30k),or the 2023 Chevy Bolt (~starting mrsp 28k). With the IRA $7500 rebate, and the cheaper fuel costs, makes it attractive, with solid range too.

To carry stuff, I am looking at the 2023 hybrid Ford Maverick, a double-cab small/medium sized pickup truck goind for $22.6k starting msrp...which clocks in as the cheapest hybrid vehicle on the new market. 42 city 33 highway mpg.

I applaud these more modest and affordable entries into the fuel efficient market.
xrandr is not sufficient for this. One needs a way for users to configure the per monitor DPI. And have the configuration available to X clients. Currently the only cross DE mechanism for this is Xft.dpi and its global, not per monitor.
I suggest going for off-lease or rental fleet vehicles. They shouldn’t have either of the issues you mentioned, especially if you get one that is still covered by the manufacturer warranty.

I bought two cars new, and with all the recalls and factory defects, (and ignoring price and depreciation) they were way worse than the used ones I’ve had experience with.

Varies based on how cheap your electricity is and expensive your gas is but my experience has been about $1000/yr in just gas savings according to my teslas calculations, we don’t commute with it tho, so it could pay off faster for commuters, but still on the order of years to break even.

A big difference is maintenance though. No oil changes, mechanical issues, etc. Just new tires when they’re worn out and occasional problems.
You're not wrong, but the problem is that people sometimes just flat can't see it and think they know better than you.

The example I gave above, I definitely did spent months explaining to them how the risk to a library like that grows unexpectedly over time. How it's a small risk at first but if you don't consider the use of that library over the next few years you don't see where the risk profile ends up.

What's interesting is that I had a similar conversation with a VP recently. What I told him is that sometimes people really just flat out can't see it and in that case you have to "rule by fiat" as it were and issue an edict. If you wait for compromise with someone who just can't see it you'll get nothing done, especially if nothing can ever be agreed upon.

and I say this as someone who is very particular about the battles I'll fight, I'm a fan of compromise but only if everyone in that conversation truly understands all sides of the issue or I think it ultimately doesn't matter (yak shaving).

> Martinez homes aren't cheap either, even for the Bay Area - median sale price is almost $800K

I am frequently surprised at how little of a discount there is for living in toxic or extremely unpleasant places in an otherwise expensive area. Over the years I’ve seen many listings for homes nearby to desirable areas but adjacent to superfund sites, directly facing interstate highways or elevated subway tracks, downwind of sewage treatment plants etc, and consistently I feel like the price is nowhere remotely close to cheap enough to justify the downside.
It's a little more than that because you can also interact with the post and take part in a conversation.

Where are you getting a $10K premium? I don't see an ICE ATP listed as you maintain. The number that you appear to be referring to $44K, is for non luxury vehicles, which is not directly comparable to the EV category.

I would guess the premium is closer to $5K, the difference from the $48K ATP for all transactions. Those are 90%+ of all transactions.

YouTube is blocking its Home screen if Watch History is Turned Off

But today, in my Chrome browser, there is no Home screen anymore. Just YouTube history is Off and Update Settings Link, that force us to turn the history On and no other way.

One way:

The US government's policy of "encouraging" countries to sell their crude in USD (in a "nice country you've got there, shame if something happened to it" way) keeps them in effective control of the price of oil.

> How can a simple coaxial cable cram so much bandwidth?

A large amount of spectrum to work with and a high spectral efficiency. Wikipedia lists DOCSIS 4.0 as having 1.8GHz of bandwidth, and DOCSIS 3.1 as ~10bits/Hz. Assuming DOCSIS 4.0 is as least as efficient, thats about 18Gbps.
> “This is a temporary bus stop in use whilst repairs are made to the nearby permanent bus stop”. Most non-Brits have never used or heard the word “whilst”, and yet it’s used all the time in the U.K.

This feels like it would still mean the exact same thing if "while" were used instead of "whilst". I have no idea if there's some subtle difference in British English or if they're just synonyms with very close spelling to each other, but it doesn't strike me as particularly profound.

GNOME (and many others) have spent years telling anyone who has issues with Wayland that lead them to run an X session to report bugs, and has put a lot of effort into fixing those bugs. This seems like a reasonable next step.

> This plan seems to The Reg's FOSS Desk to be strong-arming people into adopting Wayland.

Or, more reasonably, to maintain less code for alternate paths in favor of fixing the issues that lead people to use those alternate paths.

Wayland has bugs. X has bugs. Fixes to one largely don't help users of the other. Every bit of effort spent fixing a bug in X to help the fraction of users still using it is effort that could have gone into fixing the bugs in Wayland that leave people using X in the first place. A project taking a step like this allows it to consolidate those efforts.

exactly! this is the point that most people miss when this conversation comes up.
From what I’ve gleaned it’s a link aggregator v microblog division where Wordpress is targeting the microblogs because, largely through mastodon, that’s where the majority are.

Technically, AFAIU, this comes down to whether a platform is based on using the Person or Group actor. Microblogs, and Wordpress, are using the Person actor. Lemmy is based on the Group actor, an obvious side effect of which being that you can’t follow a user/Person on lemmy. Similarly, mastodon’s support for Groups is basically a kludge and breaks down fairly quickly. Most of the platforms listed are similar to mastodon in this regard (with the notable exception of friendica and hubzilla which have a distinct lineage on the fediverse).

Interestingly, I think this highlights two issues. One is whether or he choice of the Person actor over the Group actor makes sense. Arguably supporting both would make a lot of sense for whenever a blog/page is not simply a single person.

The other is whether it makes sense to have a major fediverse platform that doesn’t have good support for both Person and Group actors (like Facebook, friendica and hubzilla, eg). Given the promise or pitch of the fediverse, arguably interoperability and format diversity are fairly central to the fediverse’s value proposition, which means covering multiple bases and allowing the uses to mould the feed and format, which works for them, out of the protocol and ecosystem is kinda the point of the whole thing. In this case, it would mean that it shouldn’t matter whether Wordpress chose the Person or Group actor and that we don’t need to clarify which platforms are supported and why, which sounds good to me.
So because a company sells ads and you don’t like that, you refuse to pay them to not see ads?
