Libertarians do not necessarily oppose usage-based fees to pay for externalities. In fact, many actively propose them as an alternative to regulatory mandates. I you oppose that "on principle" I suggest you reconsider whether that particular strain of libertarianism is really moral or viable in the real world.
To get a crash the rest of market would have to go very far south, and this time it seems unlikely that housing prices would be leading that crash. Maybe commercial real estate?

Even then, as you say, since the 2008 housing crash we've chronically under built housing so we're still in a huge deficit.

And even then, banks would likely hold onto inventory for years keeping prices high.
Can you please explain your argument? I don't think I got it.
You are expecting people to read nuance into your statement explicitly denying nuance.

It's a relatively mild communication, pretty quickly cleared up, but pushing responsibility for it onto your readers seems poor form.
Note that for an appropriate relative comparison between individual and mass transit, the appropriate measure is per passenger mile. (For a truly accurate comparison, you should also normalize driving regimes; cities, where buses generally operate, have a much higher rate of incidents per mile.)

For an absolute comparison, buses are responsible for 2% of pedestrian deaths, vs approx. 90% for cars (per the same FARS data).
Made this comment elsewhere, but CPI is partially derived from the cost of housing, so you can't really use CPI here.
There is no bubble like the bubble in Canada. From the start of the Pandemic there were Houses that went from 800k to 1.5 million in 6-12 months. Even today they are still going up.

800k plus for a shit hole with nothing around.

> if this dude was confidently correct he should go make billions on the market

Remember: Michael Burry of The Big Short fame nearly went bankrupt waiting for the market to collapse. You can be right and not get the timing right; the very relevant Keynes quote is "Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Burry

> During his payments toward the credit default swaps, Burry suffered an investor revolt, where some investors in his fund worried his predictions were inaccurate and demanded to withdraw their capital. Eventually, Burry's analysis proved correct: He made a personal profit of $100 million and a profit for his remaining investors of more than $700 million. Scion Capital ultimately recorded returns of 489.34% (net of fees and expenses) between its November 1, 2000, inception and June 2008. The S&P 500, widely regarded as the benchmark for the US market, returned just under 3%, including dividends over the same period.

I found the whole thing really interesting. With the in-game economy they were doing things like subcontracting to vendors (writing Lua code, making 3D models, selling entire aircraft to each other), selling shares to investors, and distributing dividends.
This was with a DVD recorder unit. Composite or RF? It really didn't look that different (and both looked good, by SD video standards).
Why are you assuming only bulk purchases will be affected?

I bought my entire family new phones for Christmas, directly from the Samsung website. Except that there are 5 of us, and Samsung has a limit of 4. So I searched and searched to find a fifth phone of the same model at a comparable price through legitimate channels. And guess what, the phone I'm typing this on was purchased from a perfectly legitimate seller, but was intended for use in Mexico. Selling phones from one region to alleviate supply shortages in another is incredibly common.
The way I remember it, the general experience was that companies reached out to us and were very excited by the idea, but when we actually sent a candidate, they scotched it. I did make exactly one placement where I waived the fee (because friends). They were super happy with him but it was too little, too late.

Why would Samsung have just one distributor in Mexico with very high prices? This doesn't make sense.

In EU you can buy from a variety of sellers at various prices. You can buy grey market too and Samsung doesn't disable those phones.

So what is special about Mexico?

>> Apart from the lottery changes, the Biden administration is also proposing, for the first time, to allow entrepreneurs to sponsor themselves for an H-1B visa. Until now, with narrow exceptions, professionals on these visas were required to be employees rather than owners of a company.
That change, if successful, would have a seismic impact on Silicon valley, where many of the people launching new tech startups are foreign-born and have few or no long-term options to remain in the country, typically after coming here for college.

Yeah this seems like a pretty big change i think will be taken to court for. This effectively makes the h1b visa an eb5 visa.

> In many ways, today’s housing market is the polar opposite of the one that preceded the Great Recession.

> Back then, reckless mortgage lending helped create a situation where demand became artificially strong. Eventually, it collapsed and the market was left with way too many homes.

Yes, and now we have a situation where supply has become artificially weak[0] due to high mortgage rates preventing anyone from selling.

That could be corrected if the Fed has to suddenly lower interest rates to prop up some other too big to fail sector, such as commercial real estate or anything else that seems to be teetering as of late.

If the seller did not inform you of the region activation lock, then they are illegitimate. That is not normal behavior from a legitimate seller.
I don't find that so difficult to believe. Sure, big numbers are involved, but similarly are such large numbers involved in "how much damage can a road take before it begins to mechanically fail"

As far as I can tell, a mouse does about 10^-19 times as much damage as a car. So a chicken does about 10^-9 times as much damage as a car.

Considering weight alone and ignoring the difference between wheels and claws, a billion chickens doing the same damage as the weight of one car seems reasonable.

In your example, the chicken, squirrel, and mouse all do such little damage to asphalt that it's all essentially zero. You can calculate the relative values as you did, but it's not really meaningful because it's still such a small number.
Quote: California's supervolcano that has the power to bury Los Angeles in more than 3,000 feet of ash is showing signs of activity …

The study author Zhongwen Zhan said: 'We don't think the region is gearing up for another supervolcanic eruption, but the cooling process may release enough gas and liquid to cause earthquakes and small eruptions.

For example, in May 1980, there were four magnitude 6 earthquakes in the region

OK - A bit hyperbolic because Long Valley is near Mammoth Lakes, more likely to dust up Mono Lake than Yosemite across the Sierras, due to prevailing winds.

L.A. would have no piece of this action, and in the next few years, hundreds or thousands of years probably more earthquakes and possible volcanic eruptions.
When I was in jail they had kiosks to order commissary snacks. I managed to take advantage of a race condition to crash out of the app onto the desktop. Typing was a pain because you had to use the on-screen keyboard, and I would only have a few minutes before a crowd of detainees would appear and start squawking excitedly, hoping that I could access their Facebook accounts for them, and drawing the attention of the guard.

Seemingly it wasn't just samsung, but a number of companies all felt the need to do this. Some of them didn't go as far as disabling, but simply showed a warning, which does little to deter people from buying grey market phones. It's possible that all these manufacturers were worried about breaking some mexican regulation if they let customers continue using these phones.
Sony makes an interesting though expensive one. The better answer would be Asus (Taiwan based.) I'd buy the zenfone because of camera and size, but alas I got a crazy trade in for a Samsung last year and now have no reason to change phones.

Edit: Specifically Zenfone 10. Top of the line SoC, 4300mAh battery, only 5.9", apparently good camera set up, and on and on. I don't know anything about the software though.

It should be talked about but I do not think it matters since the fact of human influenced climate change happening has been politicized so a large percentage of people have as a matter of their political identity need to deny it and stop any effort to mitigate it, so they won't change their behavior or voting habits even on the point of it directly make them un-housed (this is from listening to interviews with people who got flooded out of their homes from last hurricane to hit Florida) or hungry. It's a long term problem in our short term focused society. So far the only free market reaction is home insurance being set much higher or cut off in Florida for extreme weather risk and California for fire risk. We in the USA probably won't do anything drastic until things get very dire directly for tens of millions of people in the USA or maybe tens of millions of people to die, since we have already shown to be okay with approximately a million excess deaths from COVID-19 so far.

My understanding is that a species' maximimum speed depends simply on muscle mass. The reason elephants don't outrun cheetahs is that they accelerate more slowly and run out of energy before hitting the top speed their muscles could produce.

Look up allometry for more. There are formulas for calculating top speed based on mass.
Agreed, I haven't ever really looked at stars, mainly I look at number of/most recent commit and the state of the issues tab, with more importance assigned to the latter.

If there are any important unresolved issues, it's a fail. If the issues have been resolved, it's a potential pass.

If there aren't any issues, I'll think about the complexity of the project relative to the number of commits/time since most recent commit, since if there aren't many commits and haven't been any for a while, it's more likely that the library isn't used by other people enough and may be buggy. But if it's still an active project, it might be worth trying anyway since I might be able to work with the maintainers to resolve potential issues (especially if there aren't any better options).

> A more powerful form of scripting can be done from Python, using the `marcel.api` module. With this module, you have access to the operators of marcel, neatly integrated into Python.

This looks like an appealing feature! Having some more coreutils-like functions available in python (i.e., stuff that I wish was in the `os` module) would simplify some cases where I otherwise might have to resort to `subprocess` calls. The GPL license definitely narrows the number of situations where I would realistically be able to add this as a dependency, though.
That's a pretty poor analogy. To make it a bit better, it's also like we're figuring out what this whole "house" thing is, and there's lots of differing opinions, and also lots of people who think this whole "house" thing is a fad.

I wonder if this is effect is more exaggerated for software developers where they are stereotypically more introverted to start with.

I really think this shift can be a catalyst for a greener world. I am willing to bet there are a bunch of people who would much rather live way out of the city, but they cannot because of work.

If remote work catches on, those people can free up the cities for the people that cannot work remotely, and actually enjoy the city lifestyle.

Only time will tell but I really hope we start inhabiting the rest of the country outside of the big cities (speaking about North America here)

This was routinely done for 2 decades or so. Small (e.g. 32x8, 256x8) fast bipolar proms were extremely common for things like address decoders in the 70s and 80s. I've used fast Cypress cmos proms (cy7c244) more recently. Cypress also made registered proms which probably make some applications easier. Using lisp to specify it is clever, tho...we usually had to make due with pen and paper.

Sounds like that'd be an opportunity for collaboration, like an Apple x Panasonic special edition Toughbook. Likely that would have significant screen and sound and heat tradeoffs though.

Yep. I am in this situation too. It's absolutely brutal.

I've been slowly turning on more iCloud services, but am in a weird state where my media and purchases use my "preferred" iCloud account (name@gmail.com), while all of the other native iCloud services use my name@me.com account... which I can't figure out how to change to name@gamil.com.

I'm surprised there aren't more people who are in this situation. I got into this mess because Mobile Me required me to have a different account than my iTunes account (name@me.com), and then that eventually became iCloud, while app purchases and everything else stayed with my iTunes account.

I'd love to merge them, and I have absolutely no idea how to. I don't even think this guide that you linked to helps me much, to be honest. I'd be too afraid to lose something.

IBM Enterprise COBOL decouples the file definition in the program from the physical file via a DDNAME. Thus the physical file to be used can vary at runtime.

I run/ran a website where you could shop on AliExpress using crypto and advertised it as the only legitimate crypto website around. I had universally positive reviews but made low 5 figures in profit over the course of ~4y (not terrible as passive income considering the operating costs were nearly zero) before the latest crash dropped usage to nothing and I let bit rot take over.

Unfortunately the vast majority of crypto adopters are just riding the bubble for investment and have no interest in any other use cases, which are admittedly limited.
It's been a while, but my recollection is that the Tcl interpreter stores strings as fixed-width code points, and uses 16 bit characters by default, so it's effectively UCS-2 (hence being limited to the first 65536 characters).

This is configurable, though -- I recall it was a preprocessor define in the C code, and you can change it to 32 bits per character, making it UTF-32. Of course, this won't help a Tcl script run somewhere else, but it means you _can_ build a Tcl interpreter that transparently works with "all unicode", at the cost of doubling memory consumption for every string.

All this is concerning the internal string format, not what it accepts as input/output.

Many doctors in rural areas are H1Bs. They do not make 500k per year. It would be a genuine loss to us if we couldn’t attract and keep them because of changes to the system.

Not sure I can prove it, but my intuition is that this actually flows in the opposite direction, i.e. we organically discover efficient organizational buckets and then ascribe boundaries and labels to those clusterings.

I.e. the interface isn’t an objective fact, it’s a normative way of framing a boundary.
Sure, but a lot of people will not have those events and so will be able to hold. A few who have a choice won't upgrade who would have before.
>pythons language features

The standard library is still a library. Python doesn’t provide very much as a language feature.

There are pros and cons to standard libraries. If we were talking about brand new C with not a massive community of quality libraries, then yeah. But we’re not. We are talking about a language with a half century of great libraries and frameworks being provided.

>memory bugs cause most bugs

Yeah no. Not even close. You’re thinking of Microsoft’s citation that 50% of their security bugs are memory safety, but that’s not 50% of all bugs.

Basic standard logic bugs are far and away the largest contributor to bugs.

The way we know this is that language choice virtually doesn’t matter. On the whole, developers write 20-30 bugs per 1,000 lines of code regardless of language, so memory errors simply cannot be the largest contributor to bugs.
