That particular example shows the difference between what happens when a occupation of a primary residence has happened, and when a occupation happens in other properties.

In the case you put, the guy called the police, and the police threw them out. What more can you want? Seems the system works perfectly fine, in that case, because it was his home, the squatters have no rights, so the police threw them out immediately as soon as he called the local police. How is the laws "lax" in this case, when the police has the authority to get rid of them?

No one is arguing for squatters right for other's primary residence. The division comes when you start talking about properties that are bought/owned for the sole purpose of speculation.

For others who might not know Spanish, here is a translation of the part where the trespassers (not occupiers/"okupas", as that's a different thing than what happened here) gets thrown out:

> He assures that he panicked: “I started to have an anxiety attack, I don't even know how I had the strength to call the local police... on the phone they told me to calm down”.

> The man, 82 years old, tells a team of Antena 3 Noticias that the agents arrived very quickly and tried to negotiate with the “squatters” , without success. “They asked me for permission to break down the door, and I said yes!”, and adds, “The police acted very quickly and I am very grateful to the agents”. Emotionally, he narrates, “That something like that happens to you and they sink your life, I would have stayed outside with my two little dogs.”
Is this 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit tops ?
And what will the buyers do with the apartments? Rent them? Well, then they'll either have to spend money on security or price the risk of okupas into the rent. In either case rent goes up.

This is as nonsensical as the proposals in San Francisco to prohibit the construction of apartments to try and reduce rent. Dissuading people from renting out apartments reduces the supply apartments. There is zero possibility this results in better rental prices.

China-bashing is naive - most of the world's electronics are produced there for a reason. Here's how it works. Projects aren't open shut, and they don't exist in a vacuum. The cost of targeting a new hardware platform is nontrivial. All hardware costs are trivial vs. overall project costs (time, people, shipping, testing, production, packaging, distribution, etc.). Even then, outside of launch-time near-shore marketing-land, the chips currently cost double the old ones. No prior software will run without modification. Even the programming interface is new, which means retooling production code, jigs and fixtures in addition to firmware and schematics. Nowhere did I say "the hardware is worse", rather I said "the hardware is a premature choice for commercial projects with rapid delivery requirements at this time". Understand the difference. I stand by that assessment.

Nobody can predict the future, not even you. So you have no idea if that would have an effect on the economic output of those countries (which is what you mean by "wealth" even if you don't know it). One thing we do have an idea about and can say with certainty about some of the effects it will have on the people in those countries. We can say with certainty that 400, or 4000, or 40000 people will become less wealthy, and everyone else will become less poor.
I like the detached menu, but mainly because it makes the application window smaller with less overall decoration. With multiple applications open, each window having menu bar decorations seems cluttered to me. I like the minimalist and consistent nature of it all.

However, it does get more complicated with multiple monitors and I don’t know of the solution here. You’re right that the UX falls when you’re trying to work with menus across multiple monitors.

Perhaps the right mix is doing something like the Chrome extras menu or if you’ve used VS Code on the web, where you have a small hamburger or (…) button that opens a context menu. Then you still have a menu for the application, but it’s hidden until you need it.

If things had gone slightly differently for me, I would be a neuro-psychiatric medical researcher right now instead of a programmer. As it stands I write code to pay bills because I lacked the money to go to college, and (thankfully) the experience necessary to know how to get the student loans necessary to pay for any of the pre-med programs I was accepted to.

Having lived past the age of 25 and feeling my mind settle down I can say with the utmost confidence I would make a terrible researcher. I'm far too erratic and emotionally invested in my ideas, among many other personal traits I've come to acknowledge.

HOWEVER, if I had been able to pay for college, I would have pursued an academic career because that's what everyone said you should do as I went through the public school system.

Which of course makes me wonder how many people are writing papers and performing research because that's just what you do when you're smart and how many are actually adept at performing research and conducting scientific experimentation?
Which makes much more sense.

> I _like_ being able to perform pixel-precise movement of the cursor on a ~20MP desktop without also having to drag the mouse across the entire desk or modify mouse DPI to get from one corner to the other.

shrug

I can do pixel-precise movement without acceleration, I just have to move the mouse a lot slower.

The problem is that in my experience, people conflate DPI with sensitivity, and so say things like "1000 DPI is sensitive enough for me". But of course, with only 1000 DPI, without acceleration, and with moderate sensitivity, you kind of get aliasing in pointer movements. You'll move the mouse as slow as you can, but the pointer will jump in 2-4 pixel increments.

I have a 16,000 DPI gaming mouse and set the DPI in the driver to that maximum, then lower sensitivity to compensate. The result is that I can get pixel-perfect movement if I want to, though I admit that it requires a much steadier hand than if I were to just enable acceleration.
> That a country with high unemployment has the nr of workers in the construction sector as the major limitation in construction of new housing seems very implausible

The rest of the world is not the US, and people don't have to work for dimes in jobs that can go away the next day just because they would starve or cant afford healthcare if they don't. As a result, people prefer stable jobs. If that sounds implausible to you, it is a sign of how perverted the mentality of your society has become that you expect people to be like disposable lemmings that will pour out to whatever pays them some money.

> What about zoning laws? To the extent a country with high unemployment can’t find enough construction workers it’s likely to be some kind of government/regulatory failure. Read Matthew Yglesias, he’s great

You don't know anything about the country that you speak about. You are referring to an American who has his ideas existing only in various books. Dont make holistic statements without knowing enough about what you are talking about. In this case, an entirely different country and society.
Interesting. I didn't see any examples to support that. The example given in the article seems like unnecessary police contact.
Looks pretty steady:

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/canada-popula...

That projected 39 million for 2024, but we're already over 41 million right now [1]. So if the graph that started this thread is correct, in 2023 the Canadian population grew 3% just from immigration.

There's no question we need immigration given the low fertility rate, but there is definitely a limit to how much immigration is stable vs. disruptive, eg. if you doubled your population in one year the country would be unrecognizable and there wouldn't be enough resources to meet everyone's needs. For instance, housing capacity has been growing a lot slower than 3% per year for decades now, which is definitely a factor in our very high housing costs. We're definitely in a pickle.

As mentioned in another comment my step moms UC is likely stress related. My crohns doesnt seem to be; but sport helps me a ton. Something thats interesting is that even with MC and also PSC there are multiple "forms" of it.

My doc says my crohns is inflaming the whole end part of my colon somewhat consistently; my small intestines are fine. Many other patients of hers have inflammations at specific parts that are more severe, and also sometiumes the small intestines are affected.

And then my PSC seems to (so far) only affect my small ducts; which doesnt mean it cant get more severe but so far is "less damaging" then "normal" PSC. No one seems to really know if these are the same disease, related or entirely different. Its kinda crazy tbh

It most certainly is not. Plus, I'd imagine this is more for accidents "in town" rather than on straight interstate highways where these cameras are normally set up. Take out alcohol and poor conditions and it's basically a non-issue.

Xournal++ is my go to. It has a few quirks to get used to, but once you do it's quite functional. Biggest thing to watch out for is exporting and overwriting the source file. It will usually let you, but it often blanks out the source and loses your changes. So just make sure to export with a different filename than the original is. If you accept the default suggestion, it will work fine.

It's also made to be used well with wacom tablets, so if you have one of those you can make use of it in xournal++.

The older "Xournal" (no ++) is mostly functional but also dead, so I would go with Xournal++.

We are so incredibly far from being able to build a sustainable colony on Mars, especially at a realistic cost, that it makes no sense as a product goal. It is a fun thought experiment and an inspiring goal for many though, which I think is the real motivation for focusing on it so much.

Elon is undoubtedly great at getting folks to commit money and talent to his companies, and talking about plausible-ish things like becoming a multiplanetary species is one way he accomplishes that.

Not sure if speeding is the leading cause of death or just gets the blame. The standard of driving in the US is abysmal and getting worse. US rates of accidents and deaths are much much higher than anywhere in Europe.

In my state, everyone speeds 10-15mph above the posted limits on highways. But the people that cause everyone around them to maneuver aren't the speeders, it is the people driving the posted limits and creating a bottleneck on the highway. And the number of rear end collisions caused by distracted drivers looking at screens instead of paying attention to their driving is the type of driving incident I see most often.
I would instead recommend Adafruit. No, they're not cheaper, but you pay for knowing that the device will work right out of the box. You get excellent documentation, user forums, and probably most important, working demo code with all the source on github.

Wikipedia splits induced demand into "latent demand" and "generated demand". I think Elon has no trouble with the idea of latent demand and that by lowering the costs of space travel more will do it. The issue is generated demand, it is a bit irrational to think that a person with no desire for space travel in the first place will say "oh look, space travel is cheap, let's make a satellite". The general story is startups find market fit or they die. You have to find the customers, it is not like you make a product and everyone changes their desires to conform.

>But I'm happy to pay a tax to those who burnt energy to keep the networking running and converted USD to the native token, proportioned to their effort.

Why? That's doubly bad for non-mining holders: not only does your share of supply get diluted with newly printed coins, but it also get devalued relative to USD when these coins inevitably get sold to pay expenses

In Ethereum's post-merge world, non-staking holders can keep their share of supply the same (or even have it passively increase) when total supply shrinks. And if the supply does increase by ~0.5-1% and you as a holder aren't okay with that amount of dilution, the barrier of entry to stake profitably and protect your share of supply is much, much lower than the barrier of entry of profitable bitcoin mining.

And the total newly issued coins (which are nominally much lower than pre-merge) have a much lower need to be sold off. If you view issuance as a tax on holders, Ethereum's model wins on all counts

>just because they are rich and they did barely anything

But stakers also "keep the networking running", just like miners under PoW. In both cases, it's gonna be the amount of capital involved that decides how the rewards are proportioned, there's no way around it - these permissionless systems ultimately use the inherent scarcity of economic capital as the anti-sybil mechanism with economic incentives to keep everyone honest. PoS just bypasses the need for burning a huge amount of energy and the embarrassing quantity of single-purpose e-waste to indirectly calculate who has how much at stake. It goes straight to the point: the capital at stake is simply measured in the value of the coin itself instead of external energy/hardware.

On the outside it does kinda look like stakers get rewarded passivly for doing nothing, but there are definitely costs involved, they're just mostly economic instead of physical - think of all the usual risk involved in crypto's volatility, now compound that with slashing risks, illiquidity, opportunity costs – staking yield is like 4-5% atm (and has been down only for quite some time), if you're a billionaire whale you definitely have other investment opportunities available that yield way more than that. I mean just the fact that the net supply growth can go negative shows that even internally in the blockchain itself there can be better things to do with your ETH than stake it; these people aren't burning their ETH on transactions fees for fun, they're actively using their ETH to do stuff that gets them some economic utility.
A person with no credit or a low credit score is still allowed to buy train tickets and leave their hometown. A person with high credit score is not punished in any way for interacting with a person with a low credit score. Credit scores in the United States do not incentivize families cutting off contact with members who do not support the ruling party. To say that "they are essentially the same" is to run cover for the most objectionable parts because you are mad that creditors want a way to determine if someone is going to cut and run with their money.

Conversely, I'm convinced that you haven't tried Proton and are trying to defend Cider and Whiskey as analogs when in-fact they are pale imitations.

It is the solution to a problem Apple refuses to address, and even Apple is willing to admit that they need DirectX translation in order to make games run on Apple Silicon. How is the future of gaming on Mac going to look any different if we continue to follow in the footsteps of Cider? How long do you think that shanty-utopia will be supported on the latest OS update?
