vienna also had a lot of buildings destroyed in the war which increased the demand. population was as low as 1.5 or 1.6m in the late 80s/early 90s. it grew back to 2m in just a few decades, and it is going to continue to grow, so i'd argue that it has recovered quite well.
The reality of this housing policies is that it is currently bankrupting the city of Paris with a skyrocketing debt and growing local taxes. They spent enormous sum of money to buy old buildings at the historical peak of their price, buildings ill-fitted to house poor wide families and sometimes in very expansive neighborhood where they have to travel far to get access to cheaper groceries.
Also the delta between the low rent and the theoretical market rate for the housing is insane, this is equivalent to several thousand euros in untaxed shadow income, all from randomness or special favor. All with the goal to transform 40% of the housing in socialised ones, this is a power grab of the mayor to assure them votes for the future and has always been the strategy of the communist towns surrounding Paris.
Apex Legends Hack May Be Tied to a Remote Code Exploit Exploit in Source Engine
I've been to most major American cities, and Toronto, and D.F., as well as Paris and Brussels.

What Paris and Brussels have in common with D.F., which they do not share with either the major American cities or Toronto, is police open-carrying machine guns.
At the end of February this year the FDA banned PFAS in food packaging which was prevalent especially in paper products which held greasy food. If you ate a bunch of French fries there was a good chance you were exposed to a significant amount of extra PFAS. This study could be finding a correlation between diet and PFAS exposure and nothing more. I’m not saying it is but if not corrected for the signal is suspect.
We do not necessarily disagree here.

One thing that we need to take into consideration is back in 2005/2012 the ecosystem around the tooling/frameworks and RDBMS was quite fragmented and whether we like it or not, the non-tech industries had their procurements based on corporate vendors.

I was not a decision-maker at that time, but from what I saw, selling Open Source technologies with the addition of FTEs(OPEX) instead of relying on corporate vendors certified by the auditors and having those costs as CAPEX was a very tough sell. On top of that: several folks making hiring decisions back in time, found that it was way simpler to recruit people to work on SQLServer in a less plug&play stack integrated instead of doing a Jenga stack with several technologies that did not talk to each other and inject FTEs on.

Today the Open Source technologies are way more mature (I dare to say largely better) than those of corporate vendors.

How do you get the training data to recognize 38000 different shapes of lego?

This is interesting. I've been working with databases for ages but hadn't really thought much about collation other than times (mostly with MySQL) when collation didn't work as expected. Had never thought about it in terms of being a perf issue.

For those wanting to save a click, here are the benefits listed in the linked article:

The builtin provider's C.UTF-8 offers several important advantages
over libc:

* faster sorting -- benefits from additional optimizations such as
abbreviated keys and varstrfastcmp_c
* faster case conversion, e.g. LOWER(), at least compared with some
libc implementations
* available on all platforms with identical semantics, and the
semantics are stable, testable, and documentable within a given
Postgres major version

Being based on memcmp, the builtin C.UTF-8 locale does not offer
natural language sort order. But it is an improvement for most use
cases that might otherwise use libc's "C.UTF-8" locale, as well as
many use cases that use libc's "C" locale.

Here are the benefits mentioned in the original proposal; see it for much more detail: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/E1rmhxt-004ezT-OB%40ge...

* platform-independent ctype semantics based on Unicode, not tied to
any dependency's implementation
* ability to combine fast memcmp() collation with rich ctype
semantics
* user-visible semantics can be documented and tested
* stability within a PG major version
* transparency of changes: tables would be checked in to .h files,
so whoever runs the "update-unicode" build target would see if
there are unexpected or impactful changes that should be addressed
in the release notes
* the built-in tables themselves can be tested exhaustively by
comparing with ICU so we can detect trivial parsing errors and the
like

I have doubts a commercial printer back then would handle the 3G acceleration and vibrations during launch and reentry well. There's also the issue of materials from the safety of them for fire risks to potential off gassing you wouldn't notice in an office but could cause issues in the enclosed recycled atmosphere of the shuttle.

A lot of the cost for space bound items are from R&D being concentrated in a few items but others are because it costs a lot to make sure they're not going fail or kill someone. Using this behemoth saves some of the time by reusing a military line printer that was likely already tested for shock resistance if it was used on ships and for fire safety for similar reasons.

There's also the potential military uses of the Shuttle which informed a lot of it's design. Military printer already has the decoding infrastructure if it needs to be built in with known key management etc you'd have to build seprately for a commercial printer.

What’s the status on companies building AI models to build actual 3D backend behind these generative videos. Anyone working on something similar? Imagine that’d be far more productive. For example, lookdev mlop is pretty low hanging fruit. Not sure why we don’t already have models from Autodesk, Epic or even Adobe (with resources ie A100/H100) where you upload an image/video and the model spits out workable 3D scaffolds.
Was there really ever any trust, except for the - we can get away with bribing people and steal stuff as fast as we can carry and can get away with it? A dishonest merchant will only meet dishonest people.
Eating a primarily organic, whole-food, plant-based diet avoids lots of toxins that build up along the food chain, while still offering a huge diversity of foods.

Getting your drivers license is also very costly, must be transferred when you move country, in countries like Sweden (where I live) you have to retake your test every 10 years.

It also requires a lot of time to do anything with it. It's an administrative document, like a passport. You can say "getting a passport is important" and I'd believe you, but better to get it when you need it rather than pre-emptively, because otherwise you're wasting valid years.

I find often that when we do things like taking a drivers license we feel like we are incentivised to use it, when we use it we purchase vehicles and register them and then we have sort of a sunk cost feeling. Once you've invested all that time and cost using it feels cheap so you are more likely to use it.

On the flip side, because I don't have a license I make subtle decisions to avoid using a car, so my life is relatively car-free, on the very rare occasions I do need a car I can hire someone and it works out significantly cheaper in the long run.
When someone rents a small apartment in the center of Paris for 4k on the private market in all likeliness they're paying more than 3k of pure rent profit to the owner.

The rent can be levied by the owner however the owner actually did not provide any of the investment or labor required to give the apartment the value it has. The apartment has value not because of anything inside the apartment or the building. It has value due to its location, something that the owner has no control over and did not spend a single penny to make more attractive.

This is obviously a huge inefficiency in the economy. Why should someone profit from the attractiveness of a location they haven't actually built? This is a positive externality.

Part of the solution of our huge housing crisis across most developed cities is obviously that there should just be more housing. This would bring prices down overall. However, new construction is extremely difficult, and that is due the in part to lobbies of wealthy owners which seek to keep prices high by maintaining scarcity.

Turning private rent housing into public housing is a good way to eliminate the economic inefficiency of rent in that one case and it also drives the price of nearby housing down too, as the private market has to compete with the public offering.
I think it's pretty clear that if they felt that they had a case against emulation as a whole, they would have brought down the Dolphin project. As it stands, the worst they've done is gotten it booted off Steam, but I can happily still download it from their website. The Dolphin project has been around in some capacity since 2003, while the GameCube was still relevant, and had more-or-less decent Wii Emulation in 2009 as well; by all accounts in 2010 Dolphin was directly competing with "real" Wiis (while offering proper HD output no less).

I'm sure Nintendo's lawyers were perfectly aware of Dolphin pretty early on, and if they felt that there was any case against them then they would have done something.

Of course you can use third-party resources like fonts or JS libraries.

In theory, yes hundreds of billions (maybe trillions of dollars) in houses and building need purchased and destroyed in the US.

This will not happen. Houses/businesses near beaches tend to be of higher value and owned by the more politically connected. Any political talk of "We're not going to insure it and we'll let it fall in the ocean" means new people getting elected next election.

It's also worse than that in the US. We're permitting and allowing things that will fail, and have no means of funding those costs of buyout or replacement in the future. As long as people remain ignorant and keep voting themselves largess the cost of the problem will continue to grow.

> One of the other things is that all the automation appears to be extracting all the joy out of life.

> Why paint a picture or take a photograph when AI will do it for you?

Yeah the tech fetishists think everyone should be awed and happy with the "beautiful" pictures the "AI" they made can generate, and reward them with copious back-pats (nevermind the output is crap and the tech boosters like them because they have no taste), but all they actually accomplish is to turn once-enjoyable things to ash. It's like how you can't even buy good quality basic clothes anymore, even if you want to, because everything is either flimsy cost-reduced crap or a Veblen good.

For instance, I'm starting to actively loathe header images, because they're getting replaced with "AI" generated garbage that (if it grabs my attention) always disappoints. People used to either not not have one or at least search around for a good photo or art image or something, but now many just throw up "AI" generated botshit to check a box one some "increase engagement" guide.
It wasn't a company you've heard of, but I can absolutely tell you that there are:) We really benefited from compressing our postgres databases; not only did it save space, but in some cases it actually improved throughput because data could be read and uncompressed faster than the disks were physically capable of.

Edit: Also there was a time when it was normal for databases to be running on Solaris, in which case ZFS is expected; my recollection is that Sun even marketed how great of a combination that was.
> last week my btrfs filesystem got irrecoverably corrupted.

This is 2 bugs really. 1, the file system got corrupted. 2, tooling didn't exist to automatically scan through the disk data structures and recover as much of your drive as possible from whatever fragments of metadata and data were left.

For 2, it should happen by default. Most users don't want a 'disk is corrupt, refusing to mount' error. Most users want any errors to auto-correct if possible and get on with their day. Keep a recovery logfile with all the info needed to reverse any repairs for that small percentage of users who want to use a hex editor to dive into data corruption by hand.

Even further: extremely affordable technology now exists such that the leaders of our "democracies" could ask the public's opinions on such matters in a wide variety of fine-grained ways, or even better: facilitate a high quality moderated public conversation that actually involves the public on these and other matters. This may even be a requirement for a healthy society.

Unfortunately, current styles of "democracy" not only do not do this, they instead engage in deceptive propaganda to make it appear like they do this and more (how you can tell: observe how people praise "democracy", based on clearly silly memes). I often wonder if the quality of these institutions in an absolute sense (as opposed to a relative comparison to literal fascist dictatorships, the only other option dontchaknow) may have something to do with some people thinking they should be eliminated and replaced, a sentiment which is always and without exception represented as being dumb/etc.

Note also that these institutions also control school curriculum, which "denies" the public the skills needed to realize any of this is going on, how utterly riddled with error and deceit/delusion the public conversation is, etc.
Also a funny 'existential' point to remember. You have a clean idea (doing math / quad-splines) but the market sinks it.. doesn't mean it won't be good later. It's a game of long and patient grind.

For me it's like my head has a large cluster of art that I've seen, all organized. It is the "memory palace" basically, if you've heard of that approach to memorizing things. Except my memory palace is very, very large, and it has an area for art that I've seen.

If I appreciate a piece of art then it goes into my memory palace collection in a room that groups it together with other similar pieces of art that I had a similar appreciation for. As I appreciate the piece of art my memory palace branches out from there in many directions. I'm recalling other similar pieces of art (how does this art rank compared to other pieces I've appreciated). I'm recalling other pieces of art by the same artist (how did this art compare to their other works). I'm recalling similar artists of the time period (how did this work compare to art by contemporary artists). I'm imagining the techniques that were used to make the art, whether dramatic and physical (splashes of paint in a modern art piece) or precise and delicate (such as the fine brush strokes). This is the process of appreciation I feel.

Basically, the "I like this picture" is a very visual experience for me, not a vocal experience at all. If I did not like the picture then I just look at it, have an internal feeling of "meh" or "boredom" and do not put any effort into memorization or related recall and connectivity of the memory.

Not really. Fair use does not really legally exist. It exists primarily as a defense after you’ve already been sued - which is also why there is no official codification of what fair use actually is.

Also, as Nintendo can argue, imagine this was a movie. Imagine it was a movie being shown on screen for two hours. That would be case closed. Now imagine it was a movie recutting competition. Again, case closed. So what makes a tourney special? In the eyes of the law, a judge might say, absolutely nothing.

You might argue, “well, there’s skill being applied, whereas a movie is passive.” No dice there - just because you put effort into your copyright violation is meaningless. You might argue a movie is a full work when a video game only displays a subset - but do you think you could publicly perform 30 minutes of The Lord of the Rings and be OK? Of course not.
> It might have been a common use case back when btrfs was new (though I doubt it, most users of btrfs probably created the filesystem from scratch even back then), but I doubt it's a common use case nowadays.

It's perhaps not as common as it once was, but you'd expect it to be common enough to work, and not some obscure corner case.

This is the defacto standard way of operating it I understand, which is mostly just hacking at stuff in small chunks until it sort of works and leaving comments throughout it with "run this bit on Tuesdays only".

I recently had to inherit someone's R stuff and I had to learn R and fix it all. It now runs from a makefile repeatably.

Anyway it could be worse. It could be Minitab.
I disagree, the public tax payers want/need/deserve to see how this is going to benefit them--so make the first leg in places that will have the biggest impact. That would have actually increased support for it, rather than it becoming this boondoggle project that is ridiculed.
> how the heck is this 100lb weight a 100lb weight?

Because the scale that reads 100 lb is pushing up on the weight. The same would be true if the scale was inside a rocket accelerating at 1 g in deep space, far from all gravitating bodies. (This is called the equivalence principle.) In other words, the 100 lb of force you are calling "weight" is not a "force of gravity"; there is no such thing. It's a non-gravitational force exerted by the scale on the weight.

The answer is that monopolies stifle technological innovation because one well-established part of their business (advertising-centric search) would be negatively impacted by an upstart branch (chatbots) that would cut into search ad revenue.

This is comparable to a investor-owned consortium of electric utilities, gas-fired power plants, and fracked natural gas producers. Would they want the electric utility component to install thousands of solar panels and cut off the revenue from natural gas sales to the utility? Of course not.

It's a good argument for giving Alphabet the Ma Bell anti-trust treatment, certainly.
Yeah, and also you have the problem of job location. The regional government says they want to make the Paris area more "polycentric", but there’s a limit to that if jobs are heavily concentrated in one area. We are racing to open more subway lines, and that will surely help, but at some point, raw distance will remain a bottleneck.

Its unlikely that it was special-built for the Space Shuttle. Obviously this is speculation, but it most likely was already special-designed for a military application and just re-used in the shuttle.
