First, not all land is the same. The US coasts, for example, have much better income and job availability than sparsely populated cities in the middle of the country. In Europe, the size of the city is somewhat "fixed," depending on geography, transportation, etc. The same is true of some US cities, meaning that land is just more valuable that other land. That's why you see houses that are almost free in some cities, but those towns and cities are not the place where most people want to live.

Second is construction cost. A round number for the US is about 150 USD per square foot. So a 2,000 sq. foot house should be in the neighborhood of $300,000. (That does not include land, just the structure). However, in desirable cities this number is higher because labor costs are higher. In sparsely populated cities, that number is (of course) lower. This varies country to country, and in some space constrained cities, vertical is the only direction that you can build. (As one poster noted below, the $150/sq foot is only for single family. Multi-story buildings are significantly more expensive.)

But probably the biggest problem are artificial barriers to construction. The zoning system in the US, for example, prevents the construction of higher density in some areas. For example, a neighborhood can be zoned at 1 per acre. It's illegal to build a duplex, apartment, or to divide the acre into four and build four houses, etc. The zoning is set by a local board elected by homeowners in that locality. Being near high-density housing often lowers the value of existing homes, including making traffic worse and stressing the school system. (Also, to be fair, a sudden, large influx of new people, before the tax base and services catch up, can stress EMS, hospitals, fire, police, public transportation, sewage, water, electrical grid, etc. as well as just schools and roads).

Finally, there are builders, who would rather sell one large unit instead of lots of cheaper units. Building and selling a 1,000,000 USD home is cheaper and easier to manage than 5 200,000 USD homes. If you can only build one house per acre, or the space is constrained by geography, it doesn't make economic sense to build a 200,000 USD house. Even if space isn't constrained, the incentive is to build luxury, high end units as long as you can sell all your inventory.
Aside from scale, it's pretty much the same thing but with the assumption that whoever is going to be buying is a friendly neighbor and not an evil speculator.

Land is definitely not cheap in places people actually want to live, and land is the thing that is appreciating over time, not the structure.
> Make more senior housing and provide incentives for them to sell their homes.

Oftentimes those same Boomers in business own retirement/senior living/nursing homes. And while generalizing, the fuck you, got mine attitude means that nursing staff get paid a pittance, and oftentimes they're abusing the 911 system (multiple homes around here have a "policy" to call 911 for anything worse than requiring a bandaid - they won't let their nursing staff evaluate or treat patients for ... reasons ... - so we (paramedics) get called multiple times a day for little more than first aid, if that. Meanwhile, out front of the nursing home is a big billboard, "Round the clock nursing care!" and they're sending bills to the residents/families that reflect that, while you have CNAs and an LPN or two barely meeting staffing mandates, if they even are, who are unable to do anything).

>> The couple that own it own several properties across my city

There always seems to be this common thread running through these discussions, but few want to address it. It's just build build build, moar moar moar. The problem isn't that there aren't enough homes. The problem is that so many homes are owned by so few people/entities and are often vacant. We shouldn't allow people (often foreign investors or private equity firms) to buy a home, leave it vacant, and sit on it as an investment as if it were a bar of gold or something.
Aw darn, they are? I was just considering migrating my frontend to them after seeing all the positive reviews. What's the issue?
Those jobs are a trap. If you take them you cannot save up to move up to something better. And then you're better off on social support in the city.
It could be as simple as removing or reducing tax incentives for property investment?
This is why when the USS Nautilus became the first submarine to transit the arctic entirely underwater, traveling from the Pacific to the Atlantic via the North Pole, it was such an important event in the Cold War. It gave credibility to the submarine fleet becoming part of the nuclear triad, the use of nuclear power for propulsion and life support, and long distance navigation without any external references (can't use a compass up there!)

offtopic, but: I think when your footnotes themselves need footnotes, there's probably a clearer way to write what you wanted to write. Jumping through multiple levels of nested footnotes is fairly hard to read, at least for me.
Specifically, fuses (I mean actual fuses) have specific specs and MOSFETS have different specific specs. There is nothing wrong with using fuses if you understand and pay attention to that spec. Indeed a "quickblow" fuse will not protect you from everything you can think of - just some things - just because it's "quickblow".
There have been some Oceanic anti-speeding ads that had the same effect on people, apparently. There's one where time freezes right before a collision and the person at fault apologizes for the little boy he's about to murder. There's one where the driver is talking to the ghost of his friend who died in a car crash. There's one where the grim reaper spins a roulette wheel every time a driver makes a mistake at an intersection. There was one where they rewind time, nudge the speedometer slightly lower, and resume normal time, and a fatal accident (pedestrian hit by car) turns into a bruised leg.
I'm afraid you're the one that's confused. Profit is defined economically as revenue minus expenses, and so the grandfather post's first sentence is correct.

What grandfather is suggesting is something like an ESOP, co-op, or etc. There are a long history of these kinds of organizations, and they thrive in free-market economies--unfortunately, nobody really lives in one of those anymore.

It is telling that you say public employee unions "extract value" by demanding the pensions/job protections that should by rights belong to everyone (and often did, in the past). Conversely, private corporations "extract value" from the labor marker by struggling to provide any job security, any retirement, or even anything resembling a living wage.

Just which sector is failing to be profitable, here?
This assumes the car has one big battery.

What if it has a number of smaller ones that can easily be swapped out by one person?

I doubt they intended to communicate something that general, and if they did, I doubt they meant to pick one that would reinforce the conclusion.
> In this case, by adding "no_inline" to both the version and pre-initializing the exception object, the difference in performance on my machine decreased to 2.8 times from 22 times.

That’s not a realistic benchmark though. I’ve never seen real-world non-benchmark code which pre-initializes exceptions. They’re always created completely from scratch. Beyond it being uncommon, pre-initializing would also unnecessarily waste memory when you don’t throw the exception.

When it comes to no_inline, I think one should go the opposite direction. Because no_inline here just showed that error codes can be made slower when compiler knows less about code, bringing it closer to exceptions. What’s disputed though is not that you can make ordinary code slower, but that compilers will realistically make your exception-throwing code faster. So I’d annotate with always_inline instead.

The truth about the housing market is that it's not a free market anyway it's controlled by special interests, bad laws, zoning, local nimbys and councils the list goes on.

For "fun", most states publish nursing home reports. In the county I work in EMS, there are probably only two that have only either minor or no infractions.

Drafts: A Business Model for Independent Scientists
The thing about “figuring out the true nature of the universe” is that you *have to do experiments*. It’s non-negotiable. There’s no amount of really hard thinking or parameters or GPU’s that will let you know the secrets of the universe. It’s astonishing to me that both the AI-maximalists and the AI-doomers are both seemingly unaware of this basic, fundamental fact of science.
They're just going to crack right along with the screen. The form factor of modern phones combined with the fact that they're made from materials that will break rather than survive some deformation is a death sentence. These things being in the wrong pocket as you carry something heavy, or merely you sitting on them, will immediately crack their screens and hard plastic in half. The devices are just too big and flat. Any attempt at creating rugged variants usually consists of surrounding those fragile off-the-shelf consumer parts with copious amounts of padding. Now it's even bigger and the added weight is not going to help with surviving drops.

Look at the form factor of something like the Garmin eTrex[1] series and it should be immediately apparent why these devices can outlive about a dozen phones. Sit on it, throw it on the ground, put it in a backpack and throw it down a cliff, they'll be fine. Maybe dented and scratched, but they'll still help you find your way. They're small devices that are very round-ish in every dimension, and they're also pretty light, meaning there's very little energy that needs to be dissipated when they impact something.

Adding padding and protection only helps up to a point. To make smartphones actually durable, you'd need to take away from them. That means little or no glass at all. Use light materials that functionally survive deformation and point contact impacts. Also preferably it would run on AA batteries.

So far, the list of resources is a collection of PDFs I've downloaded plus a script to download the latest version of every relevant specification. (Although it does seem that Intel likes breaking its links to the latest ISA PDF every now and then). I don't have a great solution for things that are essentially web-only pages, which is how the Itanium ABI is handled (and unlike C, C++ makes it hard to find the relevant working draft copies, instead preferring to use the HTML-based https://eel.is/c++draft for that).

I probably will make it publicly available eventually, it just hasn't been a priority for me.

Also when you're learning organic chemistry, where you need to mentally push electrons around molecules which are diagrammed in a highly compressed notation, the negative charges add just a bit more to your working-memory load (which might've already been on edge of what you can handle without dropping something) until you've had enough practice to compile the patterns down.

Negating when you move electrons is just one more step, but so is negation within a complex expression in language or programming, and we do try to avoid piling that up.

You can destructively test samples out of a box of them. But even then the proper current profile that a fuse is supposed to accept or block is far from obvious or intuitive. Reading the spec helps. And then you still have the problem of supplying an acceptable sequence to get a correct result as you desired.

Another option is to experimentally send through various current profiles so that you - more intuitively - get a better understanding of whether your thinking of what you want to protect from, might actually happen.
Sure, but the curbs three blocks away do not, and around here there's been no progress towards building it.
Show HN: A simple inbox for all your bookmarks
Hey everyone, I want to share a side project I've been working on for managing bookmarks easily and effectively. I needed a way to manage my links without getting overwhelmed.

There are many bookmarking sites, but they often lack good user experience. I wanted a tool where you can treat your links like an inbox—a centralised place to store, search, and share them with friends, colleagues, and clients.

I know there are big players in the market, But I find their workflows too complicated. I just wanted a way to save interesting stuff and refer back to it without slowing down browser.

Here’s what my project aims to solve:

Reducing the number of open browser tabs to avoid losing links.
An easy-to-use interface for storing, searching, and sharing links.
Easily transfer and download your browser links easily.

It took 30 days to build this as a non-tech person, and I hope you find it valuable. I’m looking feedback to improve the experience even more so please go easy on me. Any feedback will help me on.
There is also a technology-independent Shannon limit for a cable. You can calculate Shannon limits based on the bandwidth and noise of your specific fiber-optic transceivers, which can improve, but you can also calculate one based on the cable itself.

The Shannon limit already accounts for any number of channels and any level of QAM.

> zoning laws are not the primary cause of home prices
> We ... need to vastly increase supply across the entire country somehow

Zoning laws reduce available supply by making it illegal or impossible (due to e.g. parking minimums) to build densely in most of the bigger cities in North America

> For some reason it’s ok to talk about this in the context of Canada and how their mass immigration has increased home prices

1. It's not okay to scapegoat immigrants
2. Canada hasn't built enough housing to keep up with a growing population, largely due to exclusionary zoning policies. The vast majority of land in Vancouver is reserved for SFHs, even within walksheds of skytrain stations representing billions of dollars in Provincial investment.

IPv6 "adoption" is happening at roughly the same rate as the move to handheld devices becoming the primary browsing platform. The weekday split you see is people being on their work computers during the day and personal tablets/phones on weekends.

Very little progress has actually been made to move the bulk of stuff using v4 addresses over to v6. AWS v6 only instances have only been around for 20 months or so?
>I'm also aware that there are other projections here; I recently interviewed a prominent Internet greybeard figure who theorized that Internet infrastructure growth as a whole has slowed so much that IPv4 demand may be satisfied in the future out of gradual conversion of residential ISPs to using primarily carrier-grade NAT for IPv4, and then selling off their number resources.

That is one projection, but it is also a very bleak view of the future. One that we should actively fight at any opportunity and at almost any cost. It will centralize the internet further and squash many attempts for alternative communications.

I can't imagine there won't be a major crash soon and then Biden will shift from shoveling more printed money to new "homebuyers" (his $10K tax credit and his proposed $400/month grant for the first 4 years) to printing more money to bail out the industry he propped up.

The only solution, of course, is to build more houses! Build until prices fall! (And don't bail out people who are now underwater because prices fell.)

And... Look at California's prop 13 for what happens when property taxes can't rise with the market. People just keep their homes forever because they don't want to sell and buy a new place where the tax rate will ratchet up from the sale.

Resistance to that kind of simple countermeasure is exactly what distinguishes a DDoS attack from a non-distributed DoS attack. The traffic basically comes from "everywhere".

We had a response like this in New Zealand a few years ago, with the central government putting in place MDRS rules that forced councils to approve medium density housing pretty much anywhere a developer wanted to put it. For context, NZ is pretty heavily weighted towards single family dwellings, and our house prices are amoung the highest in the world.

It has been extremely effective. Of course you can never determine the actual effect of a policy like this in such a noisy environment, but everyone agrees it has contributed towards increased supply and falling prices, especially in Auckland. In the city I live in townhouses were almost unheard of, and now they're popping up everywhere.

Even in normal experience the brain is being stimulated. So theoretically, you wouldn't need eyes to experience color. You would only need to replicate the physical properties at the onset of brain activity. Those are called neural correlates of consciousness. However, there's the byproduct as the result of that activity, the experience associated with it. If reality is fundamentally material, there are two possible implications: (1) the very experience itself is physical. That is, the inherent experiences of smelling, or tasting, or seeing a color, in themselves have to be physical. The challenge with this is that we don't know the nature of that physical property and we have no evidence for it (besides counting consciousness itself as evidence, which is begging the question). (2) There's also the view that, rather than the correlates causing the experience, they are the experience. The challenge here becomes to demonstrate which correlate maps to exactly which experience (and not another). Neither of (1) or (2) have been successfully demonstrated.
