I haven't read the original paper, but my assumption is that if their model suggests the universe is much older and that things like light speed actually decay over distance, then maybe they are suggesting that some of the other constants of the universe are also decaying leading to the different observed rotations.

> In general, when new construction occurs, it's taking low density and replacing it with more like 10X density. A very tiny amount of land gets developed at once, so you need each new development opportunity to generate as much supply as possible.

Naively, you're talking about converting a one story building into a ten story building. That == a tower.

You're skeptical that higher density zoning increases land values?

> Now, let's talk about the multi-family sector. If you thought single-family homes were hot, wait till you hear about this. Land suitable for apartment development in downtown Raleigh and Durham has seen price increases of 50-100% in the last five years alone.

> And it's not just apartments. The demand for townhomes and condos has sent land values for these types of projects through the roof, with increases of 30-40% in prime locations.

https://www.timmclarke.com/resources/are-land-values-increas...

Of course we can quibble about what amount of that appreciation is caused by zoning changes, but from first principles it is obviously the case that given the same exact plot of land, the expected value of developing 10 houses on it is much higher than the expected value of developing 1 house on it, ergo a lot that allows 10 will have a higher price than that same exact lot constrained to 1 home.

That's not true though. It says in its abstract that it can fit the Type Ia supernovae Pantheon+ data as accurately as the ΛCDM model, and also fit the angular size of cosmic dawn galaxies observed by the JWST. It is the data produced by the JWST that has led to this model.

The article goes on to say:

It's even simpler if you have an HT with a Bluetooth KISS TNC. You just pair the radio to an Android device, and run APRSDroid and off you go. No cables or configuration of a PC needed.

The two are not entirely at odds- modern bioengineering and synthetic biology are getting pretty good at designing living systems that actually work as designed, e.g. a cell factory that produces a useful molecule.

Modularity and simplicity do evolve naturally when selection pressures make those properties beneficial- and in such cases engineering is then possible, and engineering analogies make sense.

A few examples that come to mind: DNA, modular assembly line proteins, etc. In such cases there seems to have been a selection pressure for rapid reconfiguration, which favors composable modular systems where one small change can lead to a new functional system - often in a way that follows simple predictable rules. In some cases the systems are not messy at all- and rival the most carefully planned out human designed systems.
What is interesting is that physical home security has gone in the opposite direction - people are happy to put dozens of devices in they home which can (and some definitely do) stream everything they hear and see to the cloud.
Comfort Inn is in the lower middle of hotel levels. Not roach infested, not tiny, but also not very luxury. It is about the cheapest hotel I'll let my family stay in. The rooms work, but they are tiny and everyone stays in the same room. For a similar price I find airBnB which has separate bedrooms for us and each kid, a full kitchen (this saves us a ton of money vs restaurants and is healthier), and generally some other rooms to play in. We don't (rarely) get a pool which the kids miss, but overall it is a much better value. I agree the price is similar though.

Yeah the thing is, nature can't do it with 4 kg 100 watt human brains. Nature can do it with planetary ecosystems running on supernova detritus bathed in just the right amount of star light. It took hundreds of millions of years just on brain development to get here.

Hey, in my opinion it is fair to have some features behind a paywall for an open core model (although I am not a fan of it, but I really understand the reasons).

But personally, I think having core security features (which I believe SSO is, e.g. also for small orgs) behind such paywall is not really helping the product.

Using a free plugin developed independently from the core product does incur other issues e.g. during updates etc. Also, it does present an additional hurdle for all non-enterprise users to make use of the, typically, more secure SSO solution they might already use leading to - in my opinion - more unsafe deployments of Payload (or any other product). It is also not helping to overcome the cybersecurity poverty line anytime soon.

When I am deciding whether to buy the enterprise version of a product, for me a main concern is whether I would also be able to use the product with its core features without any subscription (preventing vendor lock-in, in worst case I would be able to run the product on my own for a specified period of time). This wouldn't be the case if no user can login any more ^^

One last aspect: We as an organization also provided and extended SSO implementations in various products in the last years. But we only do this if the SSO code is free software. In our experience SSO implementations are way better if they can be improved by the community.
In the US it is the same. The result is many people do not have dental insurance, and even if you do it often doesn't pay for much. Even our medicare (for old people) doesn't cover it. Thus some people cynically refer to teeth as "luxury bones".

I keep seeing more and more stories like this, like how the UK recently closed down its last coal plant. Or how MS and Google are investing in committing to buy nuclear because of their thirst for energy to feed the great AI in the Sky™. Surely having buyers will accelerate the development of some of these nuclear technologies.

Are these all cause for optimism, that we are making good progress towards renewable energy?
Canada too. Some rumblings about it at the Federal level, but we'll see if that changes.

Walmart's tiny for now - but their "in-store" is just massively huge. The key is they already have warehouses everywhere (the stores!) and they have a fleet of delivery people active and operating.

Amazon's being attacked by Walmart on one side (same day in-store pickup and/or delivery of things you know) and Temu/Alibaba on the other.

There's a reason they're sitting on AWS as a profit center.

> You've got to get comfortable telling users: "that thing that annoys you, isn't valuable right now for the broader user base. We've got 3 other things that will create WAY MORE value for you and everyone else. So we're going to work on that first."

Yes, but you've got to spend time talking to users to say that. Many engineering teams have incoming "stuff". Depending on your context that might be bug reports from your customer base, or feature requests from clients etc. You don't want these queries (that take half an hour and are spread out over the week) to be repeatedly interrupting your engineering team, it's not great for getting stuff done and isn't great for getting timely helpful answers back to the people who asked.

There's a few approaches. This post describes one ("take it in turns"). In some organisations, QA is the first line of defence. In my team, I (as the lead) do as much of it as I can because that's valuable to keep the team productive.

> the robust evidence for even things as common as flossing

I'm always baffled by all the discussions about flossing, as it's something that can be very easily verified empirically: one can just floss for a month, then stop doing it for another month, then resume and get a feeling for how the gums react. If they bleed or burn (lightly), then the efficacy is evident; if not... lucky person! No need for research either way.

In my case, I don't need to floss daily, but I still need to do it regularly. Two weeks without flossing, and I'll definitely feel the burn once I resume flossing.
I agree for simple cases like this.

But the more timezones the participants are in, the harder this approach gets.
> I slowly see why there are people who do not trust medical professionals.

The opinions I trust the most are the doctors that have previously told me that no treatment is necessary and the problem will resolve on its own.

The more often they’ve said that, the more I’d value the opinion, especially if it suggested something invasive.

I wouldn't count nuclear as a "renewable" (excluding fast breeder reactors).

That said, renewable energy is becoming more prominent at the expense of oil and gas.

Sadly, coal is also becoming more prominent, because both China and India view renewables from a "energy security" lens, not a "climate change" lens as is seen from rising usage of coal in both China [0] and India [1].

This is because unlike the US, China and India have strategic (Malacca Strait, Strait of Hormuz) and financial (balance of payments) reasons to minimize Oil and Gas usage, which tends to be sourced from the Middle East, Russia, and ASEAN.

> you could argue the same about dark matter/energy.

Well, not really. The physical justification is, the multitude of observations that appear consistent with the theory that there is some form of matter out in space that does not interact with photons. It's not something someone just had a dream about one night - it's a real-world observation, with telescopes.

If, tomorrow, a laboratory discovers a new or existing particle that is able to actually, or even just apparently, avoid interacting with photons and matter, then dark matter could be done and proven.

By contrast, most dark matter competitors require us to rethink large swathes of what we know about physics and cosmology. That doesn't mean they're necessarily wrong, it just means the bar of skepticism is a bit higher.

This hypothesis is based on the idea that the physics isn't uniform throughout the universe, a philosophical idea that has been debated for over a century and so far, all the evidence points to physics being uniform throughout the universe.

Claiming physics isn't uniform throughout the universe is more problematic than positing the existence of dark matter/dark energy. Lacking any evidence for either position, the principle of Occam's Razor informs us to stick with dark matter/dark energy.

One of the purposes of exercises such as this is to get people thinking of new ways to falsify existing models. So far, dark matter/dark energy are in remarkable alignment with observations. Falsifying either of these ideas would be huge.

I know people have been buying houses just for Airbnb rental, but that's not everyone.
