It's a version of the prisoner's dilemma. They could do that, and they arguably should do that. But it won't scale to everyone doing that, and so it breaks down to a remote person with lower cost of living volunteering

What you are talking about is slightly different. There are plenty of communities where there are a variety of single-family homes, and MDU's. I actually live in one. However, the majority of the residents are of roughly the same econ

Racial segregation is really a different issue though, it involves excluding a person based on something out of their control. Economic segregation is really a different issue, and it is not something you are going to fix with legislation.

I think there is a harsh reality that the buyers that want nicer single family homes WANT economic segregation. There is generally no benefit for those buyers to live next to or near "affordable housing". This creates a disincent

Rarely have I seen "both parties win" used in describing dealing with Microsoft. There is tons of documented history of their anti-competitive behavior and deceptive practices. It is not very often that a CEO of a company in a mar

I somewhat agree, but even that is only for capitalistic reasons. If they didn't have the massive backwards compatibility, corporate users would essentially be free to choose a new OS platform every few years. By maintaining deep legac

The era in which Microsoft forced IE into the OS was purely about anti-competitiveness and their own fear of being caught off guard on this whole internet fad. The only reason we need IE shims at all is because MS botched their overall inte

There is more cost savings than you might think in a simplified wiring harness. Some 3rd party organization builds the harness, then it ships to the manufacturer, where it is usually installed by humans. Besides the material savings of less

Save a few dollars, times 10's of thousands of vehicles in higher production models. I've posted this before in more detail, but the short version is that when I was working at Ford Motor Co in the late 90's I remember seeing

You really need to search international listings, not local ones, if you are going to be an international arms dealer. Although I would personally recommend that you start as a local arms dealer, then work your way up to interstate arms

Keep in mind US pilots are frequently flying training missions against targets we create just to have something to engage with. Shooting down these balloons does not necessarily need to be a net cost increase.

Yes, I think that is definitely the point, but so far pretty much all of them have proven to be a fraud. If the CEO emails out "Zoomies, I fucked up and now I am cutting my paycheck to $1, and selling my personal stock, to help cover y

"Zoomies" Just fucking stop with this already. Quit pretending like your employees are so aligned with the company that some kind of special terminology is needed, or even logical. The recent tech layoffs have clearly demonstrated

They're hit or miss. I've used a few of their various boards successfully, but you usually wind up hunting down random libraries or having to tweak old code examples. I wouldn't use them for my first foray into ESP32, but if

Hell, in its prime Computer Shopper was a GIANT magazine of just ads, that you paid for. I remember ordering computer parts over the phone, delivered COD, because I was 12, and didn't have a credit card or a checking account.

There will almost always be some PTZs, but they are more of the exception than the rule. Also, when they are PTZs, they will tend to have smaller imagers and be 1080p max in previous eras (4K is more common in the last couple of years).
