There is a lot unpack here.

First, it costs way more than $200k/unit for new builds where I live (Seattle). Unless they go for scale, then maybe they are getting $200k with lots of profit and a $1k/month HOA. The biggest cost these days is simply labor. Construction workers aren't cheap.

Second, the housing is not at all equivalent in Asia. The standard 30 story overbuilt concrete apartment buildings, completely un-renovated (but at least you can get that done for cheap), but it keeps migrant workers employed (they overbuild on concrete for less technical builds, at the expense of increased building maintnence and/or reduced building lifetime). China and India just don't magic up these buildings, and often times it is used as a jobs program (or they would move on to more expensive but longer lasting builds, the fact that the buildings will be torn down in 20-30 years is seen as a feature and not a bug). But those cheap to build flats are still going for $1 million/each in cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen.

I use Kagi summarizer to give me the TL;DR for articles. Kagi provides two levels of summary:

- https://blog.kagi.com/universal-summarizer
"Learn to let go. That is the key to sadness." - not Buddha. The key to curing sadness.

"Very little is needed to make a sad life" - not Marcus Aurelius. Sadly truthy.

"If you are not sad here and now, you never will be" - not Taisen Deshimaru. Sounds like it means the same as the original.

"The greatest sadness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness." - not William Saroyan. That you could live a long life with no happiness, sounds pretty sad.

"Sadness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind." - not Thomas Jefferson. Sadness is something more.

See, that's exactly the reason we can't have mature reasoned political discussions here. You ignore my comment in its entirety and seize onto one tiny detail to make bad faith assumptions about and blow up into hyperbole. Everyone does that, and after a while it becomes clear there's no point in even trying to engage in conversation with people.

The reason I put "stop genocide" in quotation marks is that my comment was not specifically about Israel but politics in general, and I used "stop genocide" as a placeholder for any similarly controversial political topic one might encounter here. Now do please unclutch your pearls and descend from your soapbox.
The only reason this isn't bigger news is EU protections that state they have to tell their people, why this is in Ireland news and nowhere else.

OK but we're talking about evesdropping HTTP, which is unencrypted.
What are the good reasons for the "rebrand"?
The reason I focused on that is because a company I used to work for had a product that had a much higher BOM cost and it was supposed to be repairable after the battery wouldn't take a charge anymore. Problem was that the cost of opening the case to replace the battery was so high that we just tossed them in a pile and sent new ones to the customers who had returned them to get a new battery installed.

These guys clearly planned ahead :-)
> For us, happiness is the target state that we want to achieve, at which we would be in our ideal condition.

This is a terrible redefinition and is obviously not what the quotes were talking about. You might as well just write, the ideal is the ideal.
Sure. In some company cultures, the developer throws the code over the wall and it's up to the operations team to make it work, so "well, it was working on my machine" is basically saying "go fuck yourself". There are other ways to work though, and so an alternate culture is for SREs to be engaged from the start of the project, so the developer doesn't just throw the code over the wall, and "well, it was working on my machine" is followed by a pairing session with the SWE to figure out the differences between the two as to why it's not working. Of course, modern tools aka Docker make that less of a problem these days, but as with all things, half the side of tech is culture and not the technology itself.

Back to the point though, I didn't claim it's at all easy to solve the housing crisis everywhere in the world, but that there are cities without a housing crisis. However they solved it won't be directly applicable to cities on a different continent in a difference country with a totally different culture, zoning laws, building codes, and entrenched interests.

But it proves it's possible. "All" that has to happen is the right person with sufficient political capital to get it to happen. Such a leader or team doesn't exist in most places, unfortunately, but, again, the point is if there was such an individual, they're not trying to do the impossible, since it's been proven it's possible.
This, as far as I can tell, completely ignores all of that. You're supposed to export the data yourself as csv before beginning, so it's up to you what character encoding, delimiter, escape characters, etc. you will be using. The csv is fed directly into "pd.read_csv" with no option to pass any arguments along in case you have a slightly non-standard csv format. This is a good tool if it solves this guy's problems but as a data engineer I would suggest to him to learn the tooling a little more. He makes reference to snowflake and bigquery and I know they both allow you to upload a csv into a table and auto detect or infer the schema very easily. That would be a better way than using pandas and copy paste.
but what raises demand IS that it's an inelastic.

Anyway, supply and demand are murky concepts that don't map well to reality when trying to take them out of the supply/demand chart. You can't actually quantify potential "demand" because "someone wants a good or service" is not a data point for demand, only actual trades that happened do.
Yes, great article. And now can we convince folks with http+https websites to shut down http access and only offer https. I've seen simple mistakes like only partial redirects happening. Large numbers of internal links that still go to the http site, and some of those not redirect, etc. (you would think they are simple to find and just clean up), etc. And it is frustrating when sites like some online forums may be interesting targets for password theft.

At the most it will dissuade would-be scammers in the US. Anyone operating from outside US jurisdiction will just laugh at the arrogance from thinking they could get away with it. It's not like international scammers are smarter about getting caught, they just know there's nothing anyone can do to them if they do get exposed.
And how much dealerships will sell it for?
If that's it, sounds like sour grapes.
Precisely! I can’t sell because I cannot afford to buy if I moved. I’m lucky to have a house but I’m stuck in it for at least another decade or two.

> But sometimes a vast increase in supply actually induces additional demand by itself.

Induced demand is a specious argument because the demand is not actually induced by the new construction, it's suppressed by its absence.

If you have traffic congestion, or a housing shortage, then people who would have used the road or moved to the city instead do something else. The normal amount of demand that would exist in a functioning system is suppressed.

If you then alleviate some of the shortfall, that demand comes back. But you haven't induced it, you've just stopped suppressing it through congestion or high prices.

The most important thing about this is that the amount of demand at the lower cost isn't infinite. It's just more than there is at the higher cost. What this means is that you thought you had a shortfall of 100,000 units but you actually had a shortfall of 250,000 units. What it doesn't mean is that you can't solve the problem by building more units -- you just have to build 250,000 rather than 100,000.
My feeling is there is neither true path to happiness nor a definite way to sustain it. Any positive change in time will turn to be its undoing.
You are confused. The denominator includes the total estimated population. You could at least read the official definition before wasting everyone's time.

No. First, if the best known number is 66 mya, why throw away almost all the precision and call it 100 mya?

Second, the number it was being compared to in roenxi's comment was 9 million years, not 4 billion years.

So, yes, it is in fact a rounding error.

Let me say that I really like that this is a free textbook, and I realize it's a textbook for EE students, not the general public.

That said, it bums me out a bit when textbooks are written in this style. It's essentially a big data dump of formulas that doesn't explain the "why".

I know that classical magnetism doesn't have a good explanation beyond "it is like that because that's how it is." But at the very least, the formulas are derived from and relate to empirical observations. You don't teach chemistry by treating it as a set of math axioms, right?

"The Art of Electronics" doesn't exactly handhold you through the basics, but it takes a far more accessible approach to EE once you grasp the basics. And their secret is real-world examples, anecdotes, and so on.
And it's Apache licensed, which grants a patent license. Some of the comments refer to specific aspects of how page rank is calculated. Pagerank itself is past patent protection but I wonder if this also accidentally might grant licenses to other patents.

Maybe I'm missing something but all the document seems to imply is that Google collects this data... Nothing about it being used as ranking factors. It doesn't seem unreasonable for Google to collect and correlate extra data that it may want to use as future ranking factors, experiments, quality analysis etc.

A.k.a. “vendoring”
Example:

https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20240513230248/http://cr....
Sure.

It does depend on a lot, but the majority of scenarios you’ll put into rent vs buy calculators, for various places across the country, come out in favor of renting. In expensive areas, dramatically so. When interest rates are high, even moreso.

Let's take a quick look at my current situation as an example. Right now my family spends $2650/mth renting a nice home in the Denver metro area, with an excess of $2-3k/mth that goes into market investments at ~11% annual historical average. An equivalent house would cost us $600,000. Let's ignore the currently bleak housing market (where house prices have fallen ~10% in real dollars over the last 2.5 yrs), and assume your RE returns is a historical +4% annually (past 50 years).

Equation for compound interest at a fixed rate with initial sum:
P = P_o * e^ (rt)
After 30 years we would have the following equity in our home:
P = 600000*e^(.04*30)
= 1.99 million

This is with a total monthly mortgage payment of ~$4200 (including taxes and PMI), to have 1.99m at retirement.

Now let’s compare to renting and continuing to invest the money we would have spent on the house into market index funds.
Equation for previous month’s interest added to $2k/mth (use excel):
P_monthly =[previous month balance]*e^(r*t)+[monthly savings]
After 30 years we would have the following equity in our investment account:
P_monthly =[previous month balance]*e^(0.11/12*1)+2000 (use excel)
= 5.73 million

So I'm paying almost the same (2650 rent + 2k/month), but have more than 3 MILLION DOLLARS MORE at retirement.

This is to say nothing of all the other costs of a mortgage besides loan interest (essentially the cost to get you to the point of buying a home). Throw out $12k in closing costs. Throw out the 10 yrs of opportunity costs putting our savings in a secure HYSA (4.5%) rather than index funds (11%) to afford a $100k down payment. Throw out maintenance ($5-8k annually) and all the time spent maintaining the home (thousands of hours).

You would be more than 3 MILLION DOLLARS wealthier if you continued to rent. The leverage helps you, but that 7% differential in average returns makes it inconsequential. The power of compound interest - it's literally the only way average people have any dream of becoming wealthy.

Homes are terrible investments, relatively speaking. It’s not even close.
No no, don't look at what I'm doing when I'm complaining about someone else doing the same thing. THEY are doing much worse, so that means I'm not bad as long as someone else is worse.
So why did he carefully not say that. To the board, FFS.

A trustee who wasn't playing games would simply say they were the trustee.
> It's not generally good form to cherry-pick things I said from other threads...

What? Press "parent" on the comment of yours that I'm quoting from right now four times. You'll find the comment of yours where you say "NAT is here to stay" right here in this comment tree.

> To be clear, here's my setup.

Yep, that's my setup as well, except I don't screw around with applying per-host inbound traffic firewall rules at my router. Either traffic is worth blocking to an entire subnet, or it gets blocked at the host that cares about it. Saves a ton of maintenance.

> Yes you can have real endpoints for all of your hosts simultaneously without dealing with NAT, but you still have complexity to deal with to make this work...

Yep. It's less complexity than with NAT. Substantially so. That's like the entire point. The additional complexity you keep pointing at is because of a feature that you can't have with typical end-user NAT... the ability for each host on your LAN to have a globally-accessible IP address. And you can get rid of most of what you're complaining about by paying for a static prefix and getting it tunneled to your site, as folks elsewhere in this sprawling conversation tree have mentioned (or getting friendly with a local clued-in ISP and having them statically-assign you one).

This is why we’ve migrated to Apple Photos. It’s a paid service. If Apple’s terms change, then we just migrate to another service or host it ourselves though I doubt this will happen since privacy is a feature that Apple marketing keeps touting. What Facebook is doing seems fair though since no one is paying them to host photos.
let us all remember the US is special. The government buys all mortgages -kind of- and that's what makes it possible and cheap to get 30 year fixed rates.

Pretty sure the phrase GP was looking for was "pull back the curtain", which likely originated with The Wizard of Oz.
Yeah, I'm at the point that anytime bigTech comes out with information means they are no longer concerned about being told "no" because they've already done it and have the information they need already.

No, I'm really rock-stupid.

I also happen to be correct about the terminology.
>and likely the ability of our street to tolerate the traffic it was designed for as another issue is the city not investing in road-building and maintenance on our street.

To be fair, the vast majority of cities need to be investing in non-car transit more than auto infrastructure. Yes, probably even Portland.
Gabriel Dos Reis is specifically an old colleague of Bjarne Stroustrup (they worked at the same University, Texas A&M) who is now working for Microsoft on C++ tooling and so on.

So, one way to understand these papers is that Microsoft (at least some parts of it) thinks unsafe Contracts are worse than no Contracts. Now, would that mean they just won't implement an unsafe Contracts feature shipped in a C++ 26 document? Maybe. Would these fixes get it over the line? Maybe.

Replacing the codebook approach with a statistical/DNN is more likely to give higher accuracy than getting rid of mfccs as spectral representation (at least in general ASR). (Arguably, using Mel spectra was the least controversial design choice made for Whisper.)

In general of pure P2P architecture, shareing blog post text and assosicated assets is not impossible technically.
For example, blog post message (data) shared between nodes can include all of assets for the post though the design may be not good.

In NostrP2P, users should want to attach image file to post. In the case, users upload image file to any server (image uploading service or GitHub or etc are also OK) and insert hyper link to the file to his or her post. Then client of NostrP2P show the image file (but not implemented yet...).
This approach is adopted in (general and not pure P2P) Nostr protcol based microbrogging application.

Is it not pure P2P?
OK. I suggest users to upload image file to IPFS :)
