When counting my share of the restaurant bill, I always have to make a cognitive effort to round all prices up one last digit. However, when visiting a restaurant, I don't care about individual prices; I can easily see the restaurant's "price grade" by looking at several menu items. These mind tricks make me sad.
You see this a lot with new condos, where the only kind of condos being built are "luxury condos" with fancy amenities and features. There's some theorizing that these will eventually become downmarket units as they age, but I'm somewhat skeptical.

I once lived in a condo built in the 70s and the materials used were very pedestrian - linoleum counters and flooring in the kitchen, carpet everywhere else. Ceilings were 8'. No balcony. I don't see today's granite and hardwood condos with 10' ceilings ever becoming downmarket.
UK census differentiates between rooms and bedrooms, so indeed an unused bedroom is likely a dead space.

> Do these large companies really have 16,777,216 fans and chillers?

Some of those might be regular servers or networking gear that are required to have IPv4 addresses for one reason or another. For example, they might need to interact with fans and chillers.

> legacy allocation mistakes

Requiring the same globally unique prefix for devices that share locations or functions would eat up allocations faster than the number devices would grow. But there are definitely good reasons for allocating addresses that way, just as there are probably good reasons why the number of ports on a switch isn't always a power of 2.

I wouldn't make a purchase of either without knowing a bit more about the lifecycle and requirements.

If you only needed this once, the BQ approach requires very little setup and many places already have a billing account. If this is recurring then you need to figure out what the ownership plan of the hard drive is (what's it connected to, who updates this computer, what happens when it goes down, etc.).
As the sibling comment put it so succinctly, "proliferation". To expand upon that, natural selection basically says that traits which are beneficial to survival or reproduction will become more widespread in a population over time, and traits which are detrimental to survival or reproduction will become more rare in a population over time. Ergo, the fact that ADHD is rather widespread indicates that it is, on the whole, beneficial to the survival and/or reproduction of the individual that carries it.

Of course, this is a drastic simplification. If you want to dive deeper, I suggest reading "The Selfish Gene".

Your statement aggregates across cities with different job opportunities and economic outputs. You need to look at specific cities with housing problems, and ask whether building more houses in that specific city would alleviate housing shortages.
Thanks, very insightful.

"Dictionary Encoding is effective across data types (even for floating-point values) because most real-world data have low NDV ratios. Future formats should continue to apply the technique aggressively, as in Parquet."

This is simply not correct once you account for the fact that people do not like to be uprooted from the communities they're part of. We are simply not in a post-scarcity situation for housing, and YIMBYism is essentially correct.

Homelessness is the most visible sign of a much larger systemic problem. For example, it's quite likely that many homes today are overcrowded, and people don't have as much space to live as they desire. This is bad! Not as bad as homelessness, but depending on the specifics still quite bad. The good news is that building vertically permits more private space per person, so we don't just have to accept things getting worse.

Even if what we think is true is false, I doubt any conspiracy theory is actually correct. Its just such a big event, with so many people arguing different takes on it.

> Most EVs can already make that trip today, with a stop in San Bernardino if necessary.

With the AC running which is a practical requirement on that drive for most of the year? Highly doubt any current EV is going to do fewer than two stops on that drive. I doubt even more if that drive were from the LA metro to Phoenix as the first quarter of the route has a lot of day time traffic.

I'm not saying the drive is impossible for an EV or anything, I just don't see an EV not having to stop several times on that drive. Maximum range numbers for every EV I've ever looked at seem to be pulled from the world of frictionless pulleys and spherical cows.
I don't think so. QuakeC was its own language.

Right. Property taxes are paid by landlords, who then charge it back to you in rent. Your example article indirectly says the same thing: tax cuts were not passed on, landlords kept them.

Gotta admit, after moving to the Netherlands, it’s kinda legit insane how much stuff people will carry on a bike. A new 55” tv is not uncommon! Today I saw a lady with two toddlers and a grocery bag swinging from the handlebars.

The over supply would need to be truly enormeous, because Hydrogen is a cryogenic gas. It needs to be pressurized and cooled, both of which requires a constant expenditure of energy which is lost as usable power. It also carries [safety risks][1], and is [infamously hard to keep under control][1].

And it’s not even just psychological labels, either. In East Asia, mostly Japan, blood types are used as a form of astrology (literally type A personalities). And in other contexts modern people sometimes self-identify based on their supposed chronotype or whether they’re an endomorph or an exomorph in order to retroactively explain their nature or behaviors. Self-identity is often used for self-justification.

I have a feeling that those hoping to wait it out in the hopes of a return to low rates might be caught out this time around.

you can store the main eigenvectors for a set rolling period and see how the space evolves along them, all the while also storing the new ones. In effect the whole idea is to get away from "individual security space" and into "factor space", which is much smaller, and see how the factors are moving. Also, a lot of the time you just care about the outliers -- those (small numbers of) instruments or clusters of instruments that are trading in an unusual way -- then you either try to explain it.... or trade against it. Also keep in mind that lower-order factors tend to be much more stationary so there's a lot of alpha there -- if you can execute the trades efficiently (which is why most successful quant shops like citadel and jane street are market MAKERS, not takers, btw).

Agreed. I still have a Moka pot for making espresso, but I rarely use it. Most of my brew is from a normal coffee maker (drip) - the type is Moccamaster and it's a dutch brand. Also built in the Netherlands. When I'm out, I go for cappuccinos as a treat.

That argument can be made everywhere even with perfect public transport. It is usually about choices you have made. Of course in the US it is far too easy to become car dependent. If you wish it, it is most certainly possible but you have probably made some personal choices that makes it harder.

Car dependency is a choice. Even in Europe the norm of cars is strong.

>That means the buyer does not have choices in their preferred price range and must buy above what they actually want

But we don't see this happening though. Even in this scenario, there would still be downward price pressure. The market should (or would, rather) reach some equilibrium here.

Instead what we see is UPWARD price pressure and vacancy despite legitimate market forces and environment.

I've kind of already laid it out in the previous post but the next question anyone should have is "why is that happening?"

And it's not because the units don't exist or need to be built.

Landlords not cutting the rent supports my claim that renters are effectively paying the property tax. You can argue that not all taxes are passed on, but the reality is that landlords have a set of costs, one of which is taxes, and they have a set of incomes from renters, and the income rent will always be higher than the costs, unless we’re talking about rent control or something like that. If the costs exceed the rents, then landlord goes out of business.

"If we're talking about a web session, time-limited randomly-generated session tokens that are stored in a DB still work fine. If you really need it, put a caching layer (memcached or redis or valkey or whatever) in front of it. Yes, then you've created cache invalidation problems for yourself, but it's still less annoying than JWT."

You just (somewhat handwavingly) described what Google and Facebook are doing. You might not need to build this globally highly available distributed session store, JWTs might be an ok solution for your use case too (because you are not Google or Facebook) - or not. It depends on what your requirements are. AuthN across services is somewhat complex in any case, I don't think there is an easy way around it without making tradeoffs somewhere. JWTs are a great tool to consider here.

Sounds like IPv7, from year 1993: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1475

Doubt, seeing how IPv7 appeared around the same time as IPv6 (RFC1883, from year 1995) and we still don't see IPv7 anywhere.

To be fair, IPv7 seems to have been deprecated in 2012 (RFC6814). It had almost 20 years to catch up but, quoting the RFC, "IPv7 was never widely deployed".
