Define "decent sized":

* https://www.google.com/maps/place/150+Geoffrey+St,+Toronto,+...

* https://www.google.com/maps/place/70+Jackman+Ave+Toronto,+ON

* https://www.google.com/maps/place/150+Westminster+Ave,+Toron...

Or perhaps something with less square footage:

* https://www.google.com/maps/place/50+Geoffrey+St,+Toronto,+O...

* https://www.google.com/maps/place/125+Hampton+Ave,+Toronto,+...

At a density that can support public transit, cars are optional (not a necessity), you still have a (back)yard, and can have a garage (attached to a laneway). The above was how things were often built pre-WW2:

These places now cost quite a lot now because urban living is cool, but in roughly 1960-90s they were relatively cheap because all the WASPs moved to the suburbs because 'downtown was for immigrants'; one particular neighbourhood linked to above was >90% Polish during the time period:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roncesvalles,_Toronto

Just to the east of this neighbourhood is Little Portugal (and then further east China Town, and a little north Little Italy), and to the west a large Ukraine community used to be concentrated (with a smattering of Lithuanians).

Well it's too far gone now" They should make the font size shrink too as it slowly fades away. Lol don't know why it makes me laugh. Like those air-powered guy dancer things at car dealerships it's funny for no reason other than form.
What problems has the cx90 had? That model is currently out of my price range but I had considered maybe buying an ICE Mazda 3 and then handing it down to my family that uses a 2014 Hyundai Accent in 2-3 years once that kicks the can and picking up a used CX90 PHEV. The alternative maybe picking up a bolt now and bearing through the terrible charging speeds for 2-3 years and then handing that down(they dont ever travel long distances so they are good with overnight charging)

Maybe Mazda will finish hybridizing the rest of their lineup by then. Their plan seems to be to lower the fleet average emissions by first dropping the pickup truck (done), sticking to few fairly efficient engines across the lineup, then convert each model to hybrid (and PHEV) and then finally move to electric once the Toyota alliance bears fruit.
I feel like this would just trigger a nuclear reaction by the people who had the less precision (AI) weapons.

> It's actually easier to have smaller class sizes with higher density because you spend less on transportation and real estate and can use the money hire more teachers, or lower your taxes, or do whatever you like with it.

In practice, new housing increases the denominator (number of students) more the than numerator (tax dollars). This is because the existing tax base includes non-residential land that only provides tax dollars without increase school costs. So any new housing is always a net loss.

> Existing homeowners don't want more housing because they want the value of their existing home to go up through scarcity.

The flip side of that is that people who don’t have those houses want to take that away without paying the market price for that land.

> If people didn't want to live in cities then why does the housing there cost more?

Historicaly, being close to high paying jobs was a major driver. There’s also an annual resupply of starry eyed graduates.

Though I’ll be honest to not understand why anyone would pay a premium to live like a sardine. The air quality alone is enough reason to move out of the city.
“Productive” is an interesting word choice, because so many people seek out new causes, problems and politics in an attempt to be exactly that.

Whether it is productive or not is up for debate, but what if the problem is the societal focus on productivity, which is an individual pursuit, rather than on community and relationships?
A civil war doesn't mean that you have troops shooting each other in the streets of every city.

It means that there are regions where the government can't project authority.

Ukraine before the Russian invasion was a perfect example. You could walk around Kiev without a care in the world, 500km to the east you had death squads trying to suppress an honest to god soviet insurgency.

Blame the companies, government agencies, and anyone else mandating RTO and other outmoded forms of work. Plenty of companies are fleeing downtown for office parks in the suburbs as their lease expires. We will see how sustainable some of these downtown businesses (restaurants, coffee shops, bars, stores) are once the money from suburban commuters dries up.

This is interesting. Let’s say 600g Bar-tailed Godwit goes on 13500 km flight and spends very optimistic 200g of fat. Theoretically, if fat is only used for going up, it can climb to 170km (i.e. potential energy). This means that to get to destination in needs to glide by dropping 12.5m per km, or have glide ratio of 80.

Best human gliders have glide ratio of 60. So Godwit still needs to be very efficient glider, or, what is more likely also knows how to use winds and updrafts.
I was looking for something like this when redoing my bathroom tiles but surprisingly couldn't find anything. I ended up using draw.io which worked but not that easily.

A few suggestions for your tool. Add millimeters as an option. I'm using 12"x24" tile for the floor but they're really 300mm x 600mm. I learned most 12"x24" are that size. Another thing I learned is with that size it's recommended to use a 33% offset pattern. This guy explains it well https://www.diytileguy.com/12x24-tile/
That is definitely not true. The trades are hard as shit and dealing with the "standards" vs reality situations that they deal with day in day out is exhausting just to read.
Let me attempt an optimistic vision. Since antiquity war has been not about fearsome fighters but about economic and institutional strength. (In modern times, also logistics.)

The people were fungible. Mercenaries show that. Soldiers were and remain instruments for production to wield its power through.

The World Wars shocked us because they showed what war between technologically-advanced, industrial states looks like. (We didn’t get horrified by the Holocaust until well afterwards.) There are a variety of reasons we haven’t seen WWIII, chief among them nukes, but what it hasn’t been is aversion to loss of soldiers’ lives. (See: Russia.) As a result, conventional war between industrialised states remains a risk. These technologies—which are principally useful against another state actor and not civilians—reduce the frequency at which that warfare destroys lives versus capital.

(One could argue this increases the chances of war by industrial states against static-army enemies or non-states. But an F-16 flying over Afghanistan is already practically invulnerable.)

US cities are generally fairly low density. That pushes more people to the suburbs, or low density suburb-like development at the edge of the city, driving up prices there and adding commuter traffic that the city pays to handle.

If people want to live in the suburbs that's fine, but given housing prices in most cities I think there is greater demand than supply for residential there.
From what I gathered from your service description it doesn't make sense to me that yu provide a service and they try to sue you
If anything they should sue, aka block, the accounts of your users. It's them that are violating the tos, not you.
It's weird replies on hn have been so cold towards you, if you want the internet defense force coming to your rescue I think you have to explain better why you are not violating the tos (reasonable tos).
Your service is no different from youtube-dl and many other services from what I understand, right?

Also layout of your post is screwed up on mobile, I yhink it made you lost attention from mobile users which are many I guess
Its on the list to test soon its just that it is harder to find them to rent vs Bolt/Tesla/Mache. I am concerned about reliability issues I have heard about but if the car is really good I might overlook this. I have had terrible experiences with Hyundai in the past as well but the car does look good inside and out.

I'm a hardcore cyclist too. If you're bombing down a San Francisco hill at top speed and lock the front tire, no amount of crouching behind your seat is going to leverage it from flipping. The point is physics is physics, monocycle and bicycle follow the same simple kinematic diagram of pivot point x torque vs pivot point x inertia. If you use 100% of your braking ability you'd better be tall and heavy enough to torque it the other way, else the free body diagram rotates.
Those donor states, except Texas, have strong economies because they're basically where smart people are concentrated: those states all have premier universities, and various industries (like tech in CA, pharma in NJ, finance in NY, etc.) that depend on highly-educated "knowledge workers". Texas is rich because of natural resources (energy) mainly.

Because smarter people have migrated to these states, they vote Blue, because the Red party these days is basically the party of anti-science, uneducated religious nuts. University graduates overwhelmingly vote Blue in the US. (Also, there's a high inverse correlation between education and religiosity.)

Keep in mind, it wasn't always this way: not that long ago, the Republican party was the party of fiscally-conservative pro-business and other upper-class people (and the Democratic party was the pro-labor and other generally lower-class party), so these states frequently swung Red. Not any more.

North Korea yeah? There are two different nations with "Korea" in their name, with radically different approaches to the world.

To be fair, machines deciding who dies is a pretty common movie and sci-fi plot. And (spoiler alert) it never ends well.

But, if I may, I'd like to challenge your premise somewhat as well. Which is that militaries exist fundamentally to provide "stability and protection".

To be clear, yes militaries are a necessary evil, but they are evil, not good. They exist "because the other guy has one", but then because we have one, we need to use it.

With a few exceptions (ww1, ww2, kuwait) US military adventures have been the problem, not the solution.

The last attack on US soil (Pearl Harbour) was close to 100 years ago. Yet the US military budget is 5 times everyone else combined.

So, I'd argue, the US military does not exist to provide "stability and protection (to US citizens)." It exists as a way of projecting US policy, both as a threat, and occasionally in practice.

This post is about rent prices continuing to increase across the country. If there were plenty of choices relative to demand, I would expect supply and demand to not continue driving prices up.
IMO "made easy" would involve connecting everything single concept in calculus immediately to the whole reason it exists - physics.

I made the mistake of taking algebra-based physics, then calculus, and only after the calculus course did I realize how much harder I made my life by not starting with calculus (and learning it as the mathematical language of physics).
Joseph Stalin's critics claim that he abused his power and should not be allowed to put political opponents into gulags. However, most Soviet legal experts see his brash tactics as legally sound, and furthermore justified by extraordinary circumstances of the State of Workers and Peasants imperiled. They note his decisions have been either upheld by the Politburo or gone unchallenged.
I liked math up until my pre-calc teacher told me I couldn't go any further until I memorized two dozen different trigonometric identities and was able to immediately identify which to use.

The Smithsonian article specifically mentioned it right after the leading paragraphs that outlined what the distinguishing features were and that it had been put forward:

The proposal was rejected by the international hierarchy of stratigraphy— of which the International Commission on Stratigraphy is a part— without citing substantive reasons, but most public criticisms of the Anthropocene stem from a range of sources: from within the heart of geology, to well outside it, among the social sciences and humanities.

It then goes on to address 10 points of dissent made and why these reasons are weak, misconstrued, not sufficient, etc.
Climate change: Deadly African heatwave 'impossible' without warming
I continue to reach out to at least one independent band or artist each year, even now in my mid-30s. Around the end of each year, I review my top artists and songs to see which truly resonated with me as part of my life's soundtrack. Whether through email, SoundCloud, Facebook, LinkedIn, or VK, I take the time to express my appreciation for their work—sharing which songs touched me and why. Amazingly, nearly every artist responds. One memorable instance was when an artist, who hadn’t produced music in over a decade and was going through a tough divorce, told me a year later that my message had inspired him to return to music and embrace life anew. Your engagement with musicians can have a profound impact, perhaps even inspiring them to rediscover their passion. Keep reaching out and sharing your love for their art—it truly makes a difference, no matter your age!

I think that’s more or less NAFTA (or whatever the rebranding was), that’s essentially the same terms Canadians can enter the US under.

As well, between Canada and the US you’re covered under the visa waiver program, so you don’t even need to apply or anything. Just show up at the border.

It’s a fairly well known gotcha up here (at least among my circles). If you’re going to the US for meetings or conferences you are _only_ going for meetings and conferences. You will not be working at your hotel in the evening. You’ve set your auto responder and will not be responding to work emails.

Generally it’s fine, but sometimes you get the CBP guy that wants to ruin someone’s day or is a stickler for the rules and you’re told to apply for a full work visa and sent back home.
You know, during the entire 90s when the people that wrote it were around, they used to say that the Article 5 said this. But nowadays it's consensus over all the influential judges that it doesn't and only registered journalists can say things, and only congresspeople can have their opinions. So, who knows...

Anyway, it still says that decisions should be informed to the punished party and people should be able to defend themselves in a court.
Of course, it's ok to persecute my opponents, because they are the intolerant bad people, but it's not ok to prosecute me, because I am extremely tolerant and only prosecute my opponents, who, as we already established, are bad people and are ok to prosecute.
I don’t disagree with that statement, but isn’t it dissonant for there to be no discussion of how the audience here seems to ignore the topic of war when it’s fought in our names by real people, but holds ourselves to such high minded ideals when it’s fought by machines?

They are hard and there are many smart people working in the trades. I am not disagreeing with this premise. It is still difficult to outright deny the general intelligence gap between those who work in manual labor/trades jobs and those who work in STEM professions. Of course there are different types of intelligence.

There are figures starting on page 80 in this document that support this claim:

In my experience "suburb" towns that have variety of density, including a dense town core, have more variety of healthy local stores and restaurants as well.

It's hard to run a local restaurant when the houses are all evenly spread out and going out to dinner means a 30 minute car drive. Thus the proliferation of chain franchises in these areas.
Amazon has been around nearly 30 years and the prices have gotten steadily lower. Longer for Walmart and Target.

That’s just a thing people imagine will happen. What actually happens is the big players just competing on price against each other forever.

In retail the small companies have never successfully competed on price.
>So they're still not just increasing profit by jacking up premiums, they have to actually find another $80 of benefits to pay out. If subscribers don't have those costs, they can't just increase premiums. If they raise prices to $200 but only end up with $90 of benefits to spend they have to cut a refund.

While that's true, such a situation isn't very common[0].

Only a small percentage of people receive rebates, and those that do don't necessarily get much in the way of a rebate

It's anecdata, but my premiums have nearly doubled in the past four years, with no additions to coverage (in fact, my insurer informed me that while my premiums were going up by 15% in 2024, I would receive less coverage than in 2023. The only reason I maintained my coverage with them is because I have an ongoing issue and I'd prefer not to be forced to change providers until the issue has been fully addressed.

So yes, just raising premiums doesn't guarantee more profit, but it certainly enables it and, at least in my case (which, again is just anecdata) means higher premiums and less coverage. Something doesn't seem right here.

And that something is how we've implemented healthcare in the US.

I agree broadly, though I think it's important to distinguish between techniques, people, and religions. I'll follow certain people on LinkedIn who regularly post useful technical stuff in relatively plain language that I might not know about and which might come in handy. I've picked up some genuinely useful stuff this way. But then there are hordes of religious frequentists and bayesians having pseudo-intellectual knife fights and I avoid them about as vigilantly as I would people having actual knife fights.
