no, i am saying that the only real market for old concrete today is to replace some of the crushed stone used in making new concrete, for example for making roads, but that old concrete is in so little demand for this purpose that most of it ends up in the landfill

it's possible i'm misunderstanding, but you seem to be asking whether making crushed stone is more or less environmentally damaging than recycling old concrete. the answer is that neither of them results in significant environmental damage in itself, but trucking them to construction sites does

also can you elucidate which goals you meant to say were usually mutually exclusive? it isn't clear from context

also, i asked two questions in my previous comment that you haven't answered: are they offering you money for your old concrete? how much are they paying?

Portugal had a golden visa program that granted citzenship if you bought real state of at least 500k EUR. That drove home prices up signficantly in Lisbon, specailly units in that price range.

Under new law, the Portuguese Golden Visa no longer provides Residency status through Real Estate investments.

You’ll never get serious discussions about this unless you talk about how this IP block will be distributed if it became unicast space. Otherwise this is no different than the other 10 times this has been proposed.

The main issue has always been the logistics of defining a brand new allocation policy that won’t run out of IPs in 6 months, because otherwise nobody is going to bother spending a bunch of money to support an address block which will most likely not even work anyways.
I don't think that in the current state airlines could take a risk to provide vr headsets. A lot of things can happen in an airplane, most obviously turbulence, and lack of good orientation and space perception during a flight for something an airline provides and advertises can lead to accidents that can bring bad PR. Moreover, most people are not used to headsets, especially for an extended period of time, and I do not think airlines want to deal with the practicalities or bad PR that vomiting passengers bring either. Flights are complex and cumbersome enough to add hassles like that. People bringing their own helmets is another story, as that does not reflect on the company's image. Maybe if these things are more normalised they could be tried eg by passengers that are scared of flying.
How does this logic work when the next generation/incoming demographic is even bigger? Boomers aren't an isolated bloc of people followed by 20-year-olds. It's a continuous expanding number of X year olds every year.

For specific USA numbers:

There are 18.7 million 65-69 year olds.

There are 21.1 million 60-64 year olds.

There are 22.3 million 55-59 year olds.

Etc... You can't have one demographic retire/die off and everything is cheap again -- because there is always another demographic moving right into their place all the time.

> as long as they are profitable

Which will be a big part of the problem. Gas stations aren't profitable. The convenience store with $6 bags of chips next to it is.

We also learned in the early 2000s with the "datacenter in a shipping container that can go anywhere" fad that highly dense power isn't available in most places. As EV charging chains try to scale externalize costs onto the grid we will just end up subsidizing corporate profits.
Same in New Zealand. The parallels between New Zealand and Canada in housing are truly tragic.
> having to remember to plug it in

I have had an electric car for eight years now. I think I may have missed plugging it in twice, as I got distracted by unloading. Neither time a big problem as my regular commute is 15-20% charge. As I step out of the car I walk past the cable. It takes 5 seconds to plug it in.

My small solar panel installation on the garage deliver 4 MWh in a year, which is about what the car uses. Albeit not exactly when the car needs it, but that is covered by my share of the wind power co-op I am part of, and of course the rest of the grid. Cheaper than gas (by a lot), no cancerous fumes and less climate emissions. Not going back from that.

Wireless charging is shit and snake oil.

What you need is a law that requires every apartment parking spot to have a charger - or at the very least a law that explicitly allows people to install chargers in their parking spots themselves[0]

Also a certain percentage of public/store/corporate parking should be mandated to have chargers. One stop at Target is enough to charge more than it took to drive there and back even with a Level 2 charger.

Plus, a compromised browser could just block the logout request. It's a nonsense and indefensible threat model. If you need to worry about compromised browsers, you need a mitigation which doesn't rely on the browser or that'd be easily compromised by someone who could compromise the browser.

It's a slightly different story with a "logout all sessions" button where the user might press it from a trusted device, but that's a different functionality than a logout button. There you would need revocation, but if you (like many websites) don't actually support this functionality you really don't even need to support a logout functionality more complex than just asking the client nicely to please delete the token.

I'd say way less than half the people I see at gas stations actually go in and buy stuff, the fueling time is the limiting factor the vast majority of the time.

But that's besides the point anyways. Electric cars take forever to charge. So the turnover rate is a fraction of a normal gas station, and thus a lot more stations would have to be built out to accommodate the demand. That's the point, whether or not someone adds an extra minute buying a drink to their quick gas fill up has nothing to do with it

> That’s a 370 mile drive. Most EVs can already make that trip today

Per https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/range-electric-car, there seems to be essentially two cars that theoretically have >370 mi range (and looking at the data, the range is distinctly less if you're on a highway and not regeneratively braking a fair amount).

That's a pretty big difference between gasoline and electric cars. With gasoline cars, 400 mile range is a comfortable low bound on how far you can go after filling up, no matter the driving conditions; with electric cars, 400 mile range is something you might hit in optimal driving conditions.
FICO makes one. It's called Blaze Advisor and it's used heavily in multiple sectors.
>Every person should be able to have a right to say "This is me. This is where I live. I belong here."

Naturally it's a good point in a thread about stealing from said museum (and yes I butchered the name). However its track record has been comparatively good, even if more due to geographic isolation of Britain and stability of its political system than anything else.
Absolute prices are irrelevant. Affordability is reflected in home ownership rates. In some states such as Alabama, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont, South Carolina, etc. the rates are above 70%. Regular people seem to be finding it affordable.

What I've noticed about C and it's problems with safety is the discussion always assumes that C will be replaced real soon now. So the problem is really about existing code bases.

After 40 years of that I think that was a bad assumption.

I also think that with annotations you can fix code mechanically.

You got

void foo(int *__counted_by(N) ptr, size_t N);

That could be replaced mechanically by

void foo(sized_buf_t buffer);

And if it can't that's already a big problem.

Confusingly, Level 2 charging can refer both to 220V AC or fast DC charging. Context is key, but home level 2 (AC) can get up to about 20kW, while DC Level 2 easily delivers up to 400kW.

"Fast charger" in the context of home charging means 20-50A at 220V, which is enough to fully charge the battery in a few hours. Basically, you can roll in on fumes at midnight, plug in and go to sleep, and wake up and leave the next morning with a full tank.

Are mortage rates that high everywhere in the US? 7%, or 6.625% sound ridiculous to me in norther europe. I pay 4.54% now with roling 3 month-fixed rates, but its going down now, and I could get it for 3.55% if I fixed it for 5 years. 30 years fixed is pretty much impossible here in Sweden. But you get ~30% of your interest back as tax deduction, so effectively I am borrowing at ~3% (in SEK). Which, again, is cheaper than 4.5% in the US in 2019!!!, a time when my parents could borrow 20 years fixed at ~2.2% (in the euro zone).

> electricity isn't cheap where I live

Electricity is literally free where I live at the moment (0.17c/kWh). And in a few hours I'll actually get paid to use it as the price will dip down to -0.20c/kWh at night

Meanwhile gasoline costs around 1.80€/litre and diesel is 1.60€/l.

With these prices it's really hard to justify driving an ICE vehicle.

In the life of every thinker, innovator, or dreamer, there comes a moment—a burning idea that ignites unexpectedly and refuses to be extinguished. It's a concept or a solution so compelling that it haunts your weekdays and spills over into your weekend thoughts. When such moments strike, they demand attention, hinting at their potential impact. But how do you determine if an idea is truly worth pursuing? One practical approach is to dedicate your most precious time—perhaps a Sunday afternoon—to explore its potential.
People intuitively jump to the conclusion that the problem is caused by a lack of building. While more building would help, a lack of it isn't the main cause of this problem.

Ask yourself, do Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the US, Britain, Ireland, etc, all have the same inability to build or is there maybe some other common cause?

In my view this is symptomatic of a more fundamental issue - global asset price inflation driven by a broken financial system (i.e. a system being artificially pumped up with cheap credit). Housing is just where the rubber hits the road and regular lives are directly effected. Just look at the tight correlation between the increase in the money supply and property prices.

For those who insist that the number of properties is inadequate, take a look at the numbers for each of the countries I mentioned in the first chart here: https://www.oecd.org/els/family/HM1-1-Housing-stock-and-cons... (Total number of dwellings per thousand inhabitants, 2022 and 2011).

This is a problem of underutilisation in my view. Too many properties are being used as investments and not as a primary residence.

Cheap credit causes an increase in demand. This is not demand for homes but additional 'artificial' demand for properties as investments. Think short term rentals, second homes, land banked properties, etc. By definition, only investment properties can be underutilised - owner occupied homes are occupied! So in an environment that encourages property investment you will see more underutilisation.

What will cause prices to fall is higher interest rates. This is what has been happening in NZ.
Right wing activists and government have pushed the idea that government is hopeless, can't do anything and shouldn't try, and aggressively tried to make government as limited and as small as possible. This is often labelled "starve the beast" strategy.

They may well have a point, that government should only do things that only government can do, and that by declining to be involved they're leaving space for private businesses to operate.

But yea that's how we got here.

At this point any attempt for a government to be more intentional and interventionist would result in severe push back from the right.

Some governments are trying. In British Columbia, the government has changed laws to allow the arms length public transit agency to be able to buy and develop land around its transit stations.
In the UK we basically just seem to have some variant of regulatory capture.

I'm fine with permissions. Heck, it's what I already say.

Login, no, just no.

Login is ambiguous to begin with, is it the action or the user identifier?

Login as the process of logging in, the best interpretation, is still pretty limited: authentication is the validation of a much longer chain of events than that. It may start with login, but it lasts for as long as the service accepts to believe such principal is behind such actions.

Login as username is IMHO the most common use of the word, and most obviously the wrong one to mean authentication.

To make things me interesting, auth already means authentication to me. I accept it can lead to confusion and a better substitute would be welcome.
Them being collected does not mean that they are reused. But hopefully they are, because they make a lot of them.

The thing is: if it's more profitable to make new ones than to reuse the old ones, they most certainly will go that way.
Its a different order of magnitude. I don't need to think about fuel every day, and I don't have to consider my week if I have a busy day.
To this day I maintain that a large part of IPv4 space wastage is due to the HTTP WG's longtime avoidance of adopting SRV or SRV-like DNS records or even the DNS itself as normative for HTTP/HTTPS, instead allowing the HTTP RFCs to just vaguely suggest that DNS might be one way to resolve the IP address of origin servers, whilst in practice squatting on the A (address) record like they owned it (and worse, all the apex records). Consequently inspiring a vast chorus of LIRs applying for /19 allocations over the years "for SSL hosting" and continuing to do so long past the introduction of SNI (RFC 3546). Saw this behaviour firsthand as a European LIR operator with friends at RIPE. Is it cracked down on now? Yes. Are there whole swathes of IPv4 space that remain unassigned or entirely unannounced? Yes. Does every large-scale DNS hosting service have some hackish way to workaround the prohibition of CNAME records at the zone apex? They sure do, and HTTP is why.

Paul Vixie saw it coming, the very first example in the original SRV proposal (RFC 2052, 1996) is resolution of HTTP. Alas that this example was omitted in later editions. The new SVCB/HTTPS RRs (RFC 9460, 2024) are literally decades overdue.
> Medicine is barely a century removed from using mercury salts to treat syphilis

A very good point, worth reminding ourselves regularly in general[0]: almost everything around you and me, everything that our lives depend on, or that helps us day-to-day, almost everything we see or interact with that isn't wild nature - all that has been made possible in the past ~200 years. Most of that in less than 100. Science as we understand it today, is less than 200 years old. Medicine stopped being voodoo less than a century ago. Petroleum chemistry and materials engineering have defined most of how modernity looks in general; like every other field of endeavor, they really kicked into gear ~100 years ago.

Circling back to GP's statement:

>> We're barely a century removed from phrenology being an accepted criminal forensic tool.

That's because we're barely a century removed from being a proper technological civilization - one that follows knowledge in a systematic fashion, instead of folklore in a haphazard way.

Renters in CA should be ready to tell owners resistant to new development to go fuck themselves. Oh, you put all of your eggs in one basket (real estate)? Seems like a bad decision.
> No-one can kick you out of your own home because they want to rent to someone they can charge more

Property tax isn’t voluntary and as exogenous as a landlord. (Also eminent domain, to say nothing of most peoples’ mortgages.)

> Not everything is a purely financial decision

Making the largest leveraged purchase of your life for an emotional comfort object is irrational. That doesn’t make it wrong. But it ceases to be a policy concern. (I might feel secure having a Fabergé egg in my possession, that doesn’t mean the public needs to give a shit about it.)

The reason home ownership is a public priority is various and I agree with it as a goal. But it’s a bad financial decision for many people, and there is legitimacy to questioning if we can duplicate the forced-saving and civic engagement benefits more simply.
