Yes. A very common setup in the US would be a central, forced air system with a natural gas furnace and an air-conditioner in the same circuit. Until quite recently, the air-conditioner would not be reversible.

I think these were very common in new residential construction from perhaps 1970 to 2010. These would then be seen in a lot of the housing stock people would be reporting about. There also tends to be inertia where the same type of system just gets repaired or replaced rather than switching a house to a new system design.

Earlier than 1970, you might less central forced air. That might be radiators or electric resistive heaters in individual rooms, as well as some retrofitted window air-conditioning units.

After 2010, you start to see more heat-pump options but they still were not that common.

First, lots of residential construction is housing tracts done all by one builder and they make penny-pinching "standardized" decisions rather than deferring to buyers to make decisions about their unit. It was cheaper for them to install gas furnaces.

Second, the local energy market made natural gas heating quite affordable and this diminished the monetary value of potential heat-pump efficiency. You might not make up for the extra system cost in reduced energy bills. Also, a gas furnace would likely have a longer operating life than an equally powerful heat pump.

Lastly (chicken-and-egg), the lack of a strong market meant that the available heat-pumps were niche products. There were fewer options, higher costs, and few installers who knew how to deploy them properly. There was also less clear reliability info for a consumer to decide whether it was a worthwhile choice, and FUD from early adopters who encountered those under-skilled installers.
No. (I did cite the Ford statement about "proprietary interest" which I think supports my argument).

I'm not familiar with all the case law but I assume that no case has been brought that directly speaks to the issue but people can and do discuss cases that don't yet have specific precedent.
This is why I’ve gotten into the habit of maintaining my own WWW archive of sites I find interesting. Probably have around 1 TiB now, and One Of These Days I’d like to set my network up so it can serve arbitrary sites directly from local archive to revive any site I want.

I have a `wget-mirror` shell function invoking wget with all the trimmings that takes care of 99% of sites. I’ll edit the full command into this comment when I get home if anybody else wants to start doing the same :)

Obviously the US would win in an actual military engagement to take down the Cartels, it would just not be worth the monetary and political cost. If a Mexican civilian is killed by an order from an American while attempting to oust the cartel, you better believe the cartel is going to broadcast the US as evil as possible to stir up sympathetic Americans into fighting the US government to stop the intervention, and get Mexicans to side with them as some sort of revolution against the US which would be quite popular in certain areas. If the US ensures 0 civilian deaths, the cartel automatically wins when they just operate within civilian infrastructure. Targeted raids to limit civilian casualties means boots on the ground and american casualties, which will rile up americans who don’t want americans to die for an internal mexican power struggle.

One of the cartels would have to basically pull a 9/11 level event for an intervention to ever happen, and they will never do that because they know the US is content to leave them be as long as they stay in their own lane, and they’re right because the US doesn’t care about them at all as long as they don’t kidnap american tourists (this is why whenever it does happen, the cartel will happily investigate and bring them into custody)

A lot of mexicans dislike the US and much as they dislike the cartels. Latin american politicians love to blame the US for their own political failings and corruption, so a large minority of people legitimately believes their local warlords have their interests in mind over imperialist usa. I’m mexican (moved to the USA) so maybe I’m biased or maybe things changed over the last few years but the average mexican is more likely to side with Russia than America purely because they dislike usa. I mean even young latin americans that live in america think all of their countries problems are because of america, its not unrealistic to think they will turn around and start fighting the US if there was ever an intervention.
You're saying as if it was hypothetical. This is already being done.

UK's gridserve has solar farms producing 62GWh/year, that's over 2000 full recharges per day.

Their "Electric Forecourts" have 6MWh of battery storage (~100 cars).

https://www.gridserve.com/electric-vehicle-charging/electric...

Battery storage is common in charging stations, because it allows peak charging speeds higher than the grid connection, plus use of renewable and off-peak electricity.

We'll have to see. I know AAA has some mobile charging trucks that can boost an EV with a few extra miles (diesel generator AFAIK), but I don't know how widespread it's been deployed or response time, and it does mean that the service truck is on site for 30+ minutes vs the 1 minute to give you some gas.

I think the shitty part at least in Canada is the sheer network fragmentation for fast charging. Understandable why it's fragmented but it's still frustrating nonetheless.
The money is certainly pouring in and people like Nvidia are making a killing on the speculation, but nothing I have seen so far indicates that any of these AI tools so far are capable of anything on the order of magnitude of the industrial revolution.
Given the current lower bound of one passenger in personal vehicles the process for using driverless cars needs to incentivize car pooling to the point that the average occupancy of traveling cars is considerably above 1 to make up for all the cars taking up road space while empty.

There is a possibility of municipalities having many mid to large vans that do routes at higher frequencies because they don't need drivers.
Do you think that a shift in demographic preferences from certain locations in NZ to other locations in NZ is sufficient to explain why - while the overall proportion of dwellings to people was steady - prices rose 250% in 10 years?

Or increase planning department funding with higher emphasis on throughput. It's the bureaucratic delay (nearly a year for approvals or revisions in many places) that causes much of the pain, not the regulations themselves.
How does a person becoming homeless effect the homeownership rate? They no longer get counted.

How does someone owning (and living in) multiple properties effect the homeownership rate? They count multiple times!

How does someone renting out a bedroom effect the homeownership rate? Their tenant doesn't count! This includes adult children.

You can not use this metric in the way that you just assumed you could.
My strategy is never buy new cars, period. Spending $50k+ on a car seems absolutely insane to me. In the past 26 years I've been driving, I've spent a total of $19k on cars, $11k of which is on my most recent as I got a great deal from a family member. So previous to last year, I was averaging a $26/mo "car payment". No major repairs outside of alternators, starters, batteries, and tires. I probably won't own an EV for another 20 years.
No bank loans 100%, investment homes require 25% downpayment.
Superconductive Witch Hunt
I think the focus on brain chemistry for depression is as silly as for any other emotional state. For instance, you don't need to know about the chemical makeup of "angry", just that you're angry, and then look at what caused it.

If a depressed person genuinely thinks their life is good and that they have everything going for them, this is often from lack of realisation or self deception.

To pick an easy example, someone who's got a successful well paid big city career being depressed, because internally they don't want that and just did it because others told them that's the path to happiness, and they've repressed their subconscious desire to say raise a family in the countryside instead.
Sure, I get the argument.

But I really don't think we can count on all the related .dlls/COM objects to keep getting support after what is probably their main interface is killed off.

It just doesn't make sense to kill off just vbscript and not most/all of the other stuff that went along with it. I really doubt it's mainly about the language... I think it's about all that script-host/classic asp/COM stuff.
> Stop allowing landlords to "collaborate" on prices.

lol. Yes, I remember at the 2022 landlords meeting we all decided to raise rents… because we never thought of that before!!

Surely it has nothing to do with taxes and inflation, no, as a renter you should be shielded from that and we should pay it without passing it on!

This is what I could find about foreign buyers of residential property in the US for the last year.

* $53.3B purchase volume

* 84600 foreign buyers (1.8% of total)

* Buyers are recent immigrants (<2 years) or non-immigrants

* Top buyers are from China (13%), Mexico (11%), Canada (10%), India (7%) and Colombia (3%).

I think the warped view is that renting is always cheaper than owning. You jumped straight there yourself, only arguing about cost of renting and not even touching ownership.

For example in Chicago in the US, at least in the early 2010s, it was also flipped like in GP's area: My monthly mortgage payment was around a third of the rent I had been paying, for a far far better place.
Huh? Solar panels can certainly be ‘turned off when there’s too much energy’ generation. In fact that’s their default state, they don’t generate any power until you pull current from them. They just sit there with a voltage difference across them.

> The cost of renting a gas car once a year or calling a taxi when you're stranded are comparatively tiny compared to retaining full-time ICEs just in case

That is because a lot of people have ICE cars already.

If there were a lot of people like you, I suspect rentals would get more expensive. In addition, because of the likelihood of correlation (for example a blizzard that knows out power) you may have a bunch of people also wanting to rent he ICEs at the same time making them unavailable for you.

Some people get entirely too dogmatic about their “XYZ is wrong, don’t do it!” beliefs. At the time I implemented JWT in our system, many years ago; it was the most straightforward way to solve the problems that I had. I read about the pitfalls and have yet to experience any of them. So in short.. “no regrats” from this heathen.
I love the burn about OS/2’s lack of software, where a fictional developer has done all of those things including DESQview support of all things but still hasn’t supported OS/2.
The trouble with those concepts is that there’s no way to measure them precisely. This tends to be at odds with the scientific method, though people try to sidestep them.

E.g. the noun definition of green is

> a color intermediate in the spectrum between yellow and blue, an effect of light with a wavelength between 500 and 570 nanometers; found in nature as the color of most grasses and leaves while growing, of some fruits while ripening, and of the sea.

This is different than saying that quarks exist, and that protons are formed from two up quarks and one down quark. These are truths of nature, whereas your examples are of human nature. It’s hard to even say whether a statement about them is true or not, let alone that those things exist.

I'm not sure the urban part is that relevant as a country-scale statistic. Australia is uninhabitable in lots of areas and 90% of people live in cities. I'm still planning an EV in a small town, because I'm never driving more than a single tank anyway and that one time I want to do a cross-country trip, I'll just rent a car for that time.

A more interesting statistic would be something like daily commute https://www.thinkinsure.ca/insurance-help-centre/commuting-t... which recently was ~30min each way on average - very much in range.

On the other hand the power issues could actually improve with enough V2L deployed.

Adding a special function for safe indexing doesn't really count, we can do that in C too. "By default" means the most natural and common way to index an array, namely the [] syntax.
It’s simple, they’re just stubborn. Almost no one in the US has a commute of more than 40 miles a day, and most Americans own their own place. If EVs had a 600 mile range and could charge in fifteen minutes, they’d be saying they need to have a 900 mile range and charge in five minutes.

For EVs to truly win in the US, we’re going to have to wait for boomers to die, or stop driving.

Edit: downvote me boomers. Do it.
I know in California there are so many requirements and fees on home construction that companies are incentivized to build larger expensive homes to dilute those costs.
Every large scale production event relies heavily on standard wireless microphones, which would be fairly trivial to disrupt from the parking lot.
Would that it were so simple! My wife and I may have a fixed mortgage, but our other expenses have all grown, consuming most of what was once our disposable income. Buying before the big inflation means we cannot rebalance our budget by moving: going from a 3% mortgage to 6% would be like setting all of our equity on fire. We're better off than if we hadn't bought the place, but it sure doesn't feel like we have been immune to inflation.
> which they disabled swiping between faces

There was significant backlash about the removal of swiping faces. I'm also glad they brought it back. I used that feature professionally to swipe to an ugly watch face that showed seconds.
If you have a driveway, I don’t see why you don’t just add the little extra to add a charger at home. That’s actually my plan when I eventually get a UV. Just get a face charge and someone to wire it. Where I’m located at the current rate it should be around $1600 for the charger and the install.
I'm not deliberately being obtuse - I simply don't believe that many people have literally empty rooms that they don't use.

I don't know anyone that has an empty room in their house, or one that no-one enters for weeks at a time, etc. Maybe the odd country estate is like that.

To a communist, the concept of having a guest room, office, storage room etc might feel like "underutilization".

If we apply that more generally, then the park outside my house is underutilized because the maximum capacity are not sunbathing in it at all times. I think that's a pretty silly use of language.
I usually get a bit above 20% when I get home to when I leave in the morning. My vehicle has about a 70kW battery and ~300mi range.

NIO just did the expensive-to-automate part, it's not just theory... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNZy603as5w (Tom Scott demo/walkthrough.) Press release from April says https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/05/chinas-nio-to-expand-battery... "it completed 40 million battery swaps" across 2300 stations.

It still has to scale up from there and get traction from other car vendors beyond paper-only "partnerships"... but they've gotten vastly farther than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Place_(company) did before it failed 10 years ago.
That's one of the big points made in 'A Peace to End all Peace', I just felt my comment was too long as is. Here's how Fromkin puts it, edited down for length:

Some of the disputes, like those elsewhere in the world, are about rulers or frontiers, but what is typical of the Middle East is that more fundamental claims are also advanced, drawing into question not merely the dimensions and boundaries, but the right to exist, of countries that immediately or eventually emerged from the British and French decisions of the early 1920s: Iraq, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon.

...

The disputes go deeper still: ... whether the transplanted modern system of politics invented in Europe—characterized, among other things, by the division of the earth into independent secular states based on national citizenship—will survive in the foreign soil of the Middle East. In the rest of the world European political assumptions are so taken for granted that nobody thinks about them anymore; but at least one of these assumptions, the modern belief in secular civil government, is an alien creed in a region most of whose inhabitants, for more than a thousand years, have avowed faith in a Holy Law that governs all of life, including government and politics.

American here, I've had IPv6 on literally every device I've had for almost a decade now. Every mobile provider has been v6 since LTE. Comcast migrated to v6 over a decade ago because they exhausted 10.0.0.0/8 in their control plane network (they have a lot of cable modems). And I'm on Google Fiber now which is all v6.

There's probably a few other ISPs that need a good kick to the groin in the US, but the general feeling I get here is that the real stragglers in v6 deployment are other countries. Indeed, looking at Google's IPv6 map[0] it's all countries in Africa and the Middle East that have the worst v6 adoption. It's places where there isn't enough demand for addressing to make CGNAT unviable and IPv6 necessary.

And yet housing prices in much of Asia is still insane. The only market that is sane is sort of Japan with a falling population and an aversion to property speculation due to getting burned on their last property bubble.

Chinese housing market is completely messed up, with turn over almost halted since the government won’t let prices fall no matter what, while they have overbuilt like crazy.

Scale? Those using raw milk are a very small percentage of total milk drinkers, and already there are deaths at all? I'll have to go look for total numbers, I do not believe at all that 1-2% of adult population is drinking raw milk.

Perhaps I'm biased. I work in the food industry, and know that corporations want to cut costs, increase profits by any means necessary, including risky practices. And any reduction in regulations is just another step in moving the line in the wrong direction. Try eating some raw chicken, which sounds crazy, but that is the same group arguing for raw milk.

So today, maybe the raw milk movement is being extra careful, give it a few year s and people 'relaxing' their vigilance. Food regulations are there for a reason, because at some point in the past, people were dying. And they will die again if given a chance.

So. Guess, I'm all for options. But there better be some pretty strict 'new' regulations to protect 'raw' milk, to replace the current old 'pasteurized' milk regulations.

Tbf many of those restrictions are there for good city planning reasons - and important to keeping a city livable and not outgrowing its infrastructure. But the cost of enforcing those is quite often a ridiculously bogged-down planning department that often takes months or a year to process applications and revisions, significantly inflating the risk and thus costs of construction, and relegating it to big firms that can handle all of the legalese and scheduling turmoil.

Now, why dont governments better fund those departments and emphasize faster throughput? Well, let's ask their main constituents - who are largely homeowners and companies in the industry - whether they'd like to dedicate more taxes to a service that would speed up construction and drop their housing prices.
